Doctor Gero's creation watched the patrol from the shadows, and considered why they might be there. For the last few weeks, he had made this Forgotten Fortress his home, a suitable staging point for his nightly raids against the nearby Town with No Name. Perhaps Roland suspected that his citizens were being attacked from this point and had called for a search? This concerned the insectoid creature, but he certainly wasn't going to complain when a free meal walks so casually into his lair.
Gero's creation took a closer look at the others. The first was obviously a machine, worthless to him. But it was flanked by two men clad in white armour, likely Stormtroopers of the Empire. Though mere Secondaries, what little lifeforce they possessed would still be better than going without. And, to be honest, he DID love the act of slaughtering the weak and feeding on them. After all, he was at the top of the food-chain... he was the perfect being. Those beneath him: their only purpose was to fuel his ascension.
The two men exchanged words, and gave him the perfect opportunity to strike. A long, green tail whipped from the shadows, its tip penetrating the neck joint of one's armour. The machine and the remaining Stormtrooper could only look on in shock as his victim, having fallen to his knees, pleaded weakly for their assistance. The dark corridors of the Forgotten Fortress, once filled with only the dust of abandonment, now echoed with the Trooper's fading cries and a sickening swallowing as the man's life drained away. Before long, all that remained was the armour the human had been wearing.
It seemed this was enough to rouse the others back to reality, the act they had just seen enough to have turned nearly a minute of feeding into something that felt like only seconds. Above the scent of decay that permeated the Fortress, and the more recent smell of death, a new odor rose... the remaining human had voided himself at the sight he'd just seen. The hard metal of the man's rifle, held in a grip that was too tight to be effective, clattered against his shoulder as fear shook him. The machine pushed its remaining fellow behind it, giving a warning first and then calling for their attacker to reveal himself, weapon raised and seeming to scan the area.
The bioandroid knew it was only a matter of time before he was spotted. His choices were to reveal himself or to retreat and let the second man live. And while the latter was certainly the wiser course of action, he had grown tired of hiding in the shadows, feeding like some scavenger. He stepped forward, the light of the patrol's torches glimmering on his carapace. The creature was incredibly tall, with a green coloration accented with orange and black. His tail, the very same appendage which had drained their friend of life not so long ago, whipped back and forth behind him as the amalgamation's beak opened to speak.
“Hi there,” he said in a serpentine half-whisper. Dismissing the Trooper for the moment, he looked to the mechanical soldier and continued.
“Mind doing me a ssolid and leaving? Me and your friend have ssome bussinesss to attend to, and you'd only get in the way.”
Before the robot could answer, his companion pulled the trigger on his own weapon. Bolts of energy flew wildly towards the green monster, the retort from the rifle punctuating a wordless scream. In an instant, the creature knocked his rifle aside and thrust the Trooper against the far wall, moving far more quickly than any mortal could register. His tail raised behind him, the yellow stinger poised to drain the life of the last Trooper. But, before he could strike, he caught a glimpse of a sudden flash of light from behind. He threw himself aside, barely avoiding a blast of energy.
The bioandroid sighed softly, slowly regaining his feet and looking over his shoulder at the diminutive being who had dared interrupt his meal.
“Well, I guesss we're doing thiss then, huh? Fine then. Let'ss ssee how you deal with thiss."
The creature placed his hands together at his side and began to chant, "Kaaaaaaa... Meeeeee... Haaaaaaa... Meeeeee..."
Though confused, the machine knew that whatever was about to happen couldn't be good. It lined up another shot, but before it could fire, the monster thrust its hands forward and finished his mantra and a light blue beam of pure energy shot towards his foe.
"HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
