He howled as he tore through both robots and people, occasionally KO'ing an unexpecting Nomad and draining them of their Ki. "Freeze!" A voice shouted. Four Nomads had surrounded SYM-04, crunching their fists into their palms. "You're rampage stops here, you freak!" All four of them lunged towards the Symbiote, Who charged his claws as he spun ina complete circle, tearing into each of their abdomens, knocking them back. His claws vibrated as they absorbed the Ki they stole, feeding them into his body. All four of the Nomads lay on the ground, clutching their clawed bellies. SYM-04 shrieked towards the air in victory, as his tail extended and grabbed one of his "attackers" by the Neck, lifting them off the ground as it drained every ounce of ki from their body. "My goodness..." Mikhail said as he witnessed the massacre take place, he was pushed back a bit by Sage's hand. The Angel figured this was one of the more advanced machines... capable of draining someone's light. It was frightening. Sage had no choice. "Mikhail, get back, I'll handle this." They said, as they narrowed their eyes at the beast. Their wings sprouted from their back, and they leaped high up into the air assisted by their wings, and they manifested a bow and arrow made out of light. They shot the arrow square at the machine's back, hoping to get the drop on it, and destroy it before anyone else had to die. SYM-04 abruptly dropped his prey as he felt something shock his back. He turned backwards, and saw a human holding a bow, hovering with wings of... Pure... ki... flaunting it at him... SYM-04 bounded towards Sage, and lunged into the air with a shriek, his ki-draining claws outstretched as he swiped at them. The Angel let out a slight gasp as they used their bow as a defacto shield, parrying the claws with ease, before kicking the robot away. SYM-04 hit the ground with a loud [i]CLUNK[/i]. He got back up, and thrusted his tail towards the Angel, wrapping it around their waist and slamming them into the ground. SYM-04 then leapt into the air, claws out, as he descended onto his opponent. The Angel thought quickly, as this was no ordinary machine. It was coming right for Sage...What if they gave it something else to land on? Sage materialized their spear straight up, so the machine had nothing to look forward to other than death. SYM-04 groaned as he impaled himself on the holy spear. He stood a single foot from Sage, his claws hanging at his sides. For a moment, time slowed down for SYM-04. But then, reality came screaming back to him, as he grabbed Sages spear with a powerful shriek, lifted them off the ground by their spear and tossed them to the side. SYM-04 fell down to one knee as he covered both ends of the hole with his hands to stop his dark-brown vitriol from gushing out. He growled silently to himself, draining the ki from the spear in his chest. He roared loudly as he infused his fists with Ki, ripped off the armor on his thighs, and tore them into wide, flat sheets of metal, which he slapped over both ends of his wound, and used his Ki to weld them, screaming the whole time. He then looked Sage straight in the eye. "I HAD WORSE." his distorted robotic voice bellowed. "That's what they all say..." Sage narrowed their eyes, and created another spear of light. "... Before they are [i]punished[/i] by the lord's light." The ambiguous Angel lunged forward, and used their entire body to throw their spear at SYM-04. The spear swung so fast, it was like a disk. Sym-04 hopped over the spear, curling up his tail. He sprinted towards Sage, and performed a low sweep, followed by a ln uppercut right in their chin. "I FEAR NO LIGHT" SYM-04 retorted. He once again attempted to wrap his tail around Sage, trying to drain her of ki. However, what the robot didn't account for was for the spear [i]coming[/i] back to Sage like a boomerang. It went straight for SYM-04's back. He shrieked as it hit him in the back, letting go of Sage with whatever ki he managed to drain. The spear faded as Sage materialized one singular blade, and charged SYM-04. They swung their blade, aiming at it's face. SYM-04 roughly grabbed her sword, and absorbed it's ki. He then charged his fist with that ki, and slammed it right into Sage's cheek, sending her to the ground. SYM-04 ejected both claws, crackling with ki, raising them over his head. Just as he was going to tear them into the Angel beneath them, three bullets streaked by his head. He saw the familiar armor of the Horizon Frontier guards that had never strayed too far, making sure he was doing everything he could. He roared as he sprinted towards them, and swiped his claws, cutting a deep hole in both of their chests, sending them flying to the ground. Those were only two. He had eight. He glared at his foe from behind his visor, as he bounded like a predator towards the exit, and fled into the streets of Rio. The fight Sage got into was interrupted by armed men. They kept their blade in hand, but the machine ran off. They were tempted to chase after it, but they had to make sure the people in the stadium were safe. . Four guards ran up and examined their dead comrades. Then they looked at Sage. "Don't worry ma'am. We'll track that thin-- I mean guy! Track that guy down. We advise you leave the stadium immediately." "No..." Sage replied. "I must protect the people who have not escaped yet." Sage created a spear made out of light, as they turned around to witness the anarchy getting much worse. They had a plan in mind, but they were not sure if it would be effective if attention fell on them. Two of the guards looked at each other, and nodded. "Alright, we will permit you to stay so you can try and help. Can we atleast get your name?" "... Sage Pimm." Sage replied, as they generated wings out of light, and leaped up into the air. They were above most humans to begin with, so they didn't need "permission." That said, it probably reassured them. As soon as they were out of sight, the guards left. "Let's find that damned thing. I'll be sure to report her to the higher-ups".
