Re: Hive Number One
Siphon turns, loosing a blast of M249 fire into the bots, watching as some fall, while others almost seem to pause for a moment, as if they were trying to do something to those fallen. Each time they did, a fallen body simply vanished, as if it had been vaporized. Shaking his head and filing it away for now, he continued laying down fire, a few more rounds from the enemy finding his chest and striking, causing him to step back in pain. Somehow these bots weren't missing much when aiming at him, and he wondered why.
As it continued, he knew eventually his luck would run out. Two bots got dangerously close to him, and he spoke to Tsuki. "I need cover fire for a moment!"
When he had it, he would grab the two bots by the neck and lift them off the ground, slamming both to the floor on their backs. A second later, while the one in his left hand was trying to get free, he shoved his right hand almost through the chest area of the second, and crackling noises could be heard. He then repeated the process with the other bot, again with his right hand. When he was done, there wasn't much left of either bot, save a crude representation of what might have once been the shell of their bodies, withered and devoid of any and all electrical activity. He then stood, seemingly refreshed, and very, very angry. It would become clear fairly quick that he had fed on the bots and their energy.
