From within the rubble, a storm of jet-like machines rose quickly into the air, an even larger storm of missiles streaking through the air in front of them, almost blotting out the sky for those below with the sheer number of projectiles. Their attacks hit their mark, causing a gargantuan cloud of smoke to appear around the distant creature, shrouding it. Even though they couldn't see their target, the crafts began to split up, surrounding it gradually, able to strafe around with immense speed, moving in all directions like their Super X cousins. As the smoke cleared, a booming voice seemed to emit from everywhere at once. "My turn...
A massive pulse of barely-visible energy rocketed out from all sides, splashing over the majority of the machines before they had a chance to react. Plummeting from the sky, many smashed into the ground, dented and broken, but were not fatally damaged. Their electronics, however, were completely fried; none could fly, or communicate outside of a very short range. The smoke clouding the monster was completely vaporized, though the land under it remained untouched. The creature, ignoring its disabled enemies, began to drift toward, hovering far above the ground without any visible wings or propulsion. As it neared, another, particularly large projectile smashed into its view with surprising speed, icy tendrils spreading across the energy shield as it were solid. Absorbing the sub-zero energies with little effort, the creature's chaotic eyes swept over the ruined city, searching half-heatedly for its attacker. Out of a small trench of ruined buildings, a harpoon-like object was fired out, piercing straight into the shield. The object, however, was vaporized shortly after, leaving the reinforced line attached to it to fall uselessly to the ground.
Emerging from the trench, the VA Unit let out a mechanical warble, sending a barrage of maser fire into the shielded alien, which rebounded in all directions, striking wreckage and foliage alike. The alien scoffed, an unseen force smashing into the area near the VA Unit, which narrowly avoided the attack. Avoiding the newly created crater, the mech continued opening fire, strafing around its larger opponent with surprising speed, almost to the point that the creature couldn't keep up. Almost. As it neared, it unleashed a torrent of flames at the alien's side, which seemed to disappear some feet into the shield. The creature suddenly spun around to face its enemy, a tendril reaching forward, a concentrated stream of fire shooting out from the "palm" of the limb, scorching the area with a plasma-like taint. The small mech narrowly avoided the attack, leaping to the side, only to be struck by another of the tendrils, smashing the machine into the ground with surprising speed.
"Your stupidity...has finally caught up with you." the voice emitted, its owner watching as the mech rose into the air, legs twisting violently in various directions before the machine was shot off into a nearby structure with the force of a missile, the mech smashing through multiple wrecks before disappearing amongst the ruined city...
