A lizard-like quadruped animal emerged from the sand and stared at the roaring city with its vertical pupils.
Boom!
A green beam of light flashed over the animal's head.
Two seconds later, the lizard reacted, sharply turned, and ran towards the cave.
A blue light flashed past, and the lizard was cut in two, its white belly facing upward, convulsing on the ground.
Soon after, a shadow enveloped it, and amid a loud bang, the monster's foot stepped down, crushing the lizard's corpse and everything else around it into dust.
Bang!
"Roar!" The monster roared, a large chunk of its knee disappearing in the gunfire.
Bi circled the body of the monster, sliding her hand along the gun, reloading the energy bullet.
The monster barely stabilized its body from the imbalance, and in front of its eyes—partly organic, partly electronic—a small figure stood holding a gun, as if waiting for it to notice her.
