 'I will crush little mannikin' |
Blows were traded back and forth as the
two combatants laid into each other, like hammer and
tongs. Then with a mighty vertical blow, Ebony split
Rebar's chest cavity asunder, wrenching
out his electronic heart. As his power failed, Rebar
grated out to him,' Little mannikin, click,
Rebar has informed his fellow, click, cogs about him,
click. You will be crushed, click, by Rebar's
brotherssss. . . cliiiick.' . With that it collasped into
a pile of junk. With Rebar defeated, Ebony Squire brought out the five scientists, unharmed by their abduction, but all were wondering where the Clockwork King would strike next. |
| Then disaster struck as Ebony
Squireattempted to rescue the Dean of
Engineering. Clack,whirl,clack .' Click, little
manniquin, click, trying to steal,click, Rebar's
prisoners, click?' . A veritable mechanical mountain
emerged from the gloom and the stench. Then with a rush Rebar bounded over to Ebony Squire and slashed out with a mighty swing. For something so large it moved with grace and speed. He was stunned as he took the full power of Rebars blow and was thrown backwards into the thick, green glutinous water. Then Julia went into the Mars battle mode setting, enhancing Ebony's reactions and speed. Ebony quickly got to his feet and using his power, reformed his broadsword once more. |
