16 | Husk
Delirium heard a voice come from the top floor of the mansion. It sounded so cold and emotionless he didn't even recognize it as a voice.
"PREPARE TO DIE," it said
A robot about the size of two standard models jumped down from the uppermost windowsill and landed on the concrete with earth-shattering force. The robot had industrial ridges sprouting out of his back and connecting to his arms and shoulders. His body was torn apart and stitched with pieces of scrap metal. The robot's face was so grotesque that it gave Delirium an abysmal reaction, but he stood his ground.
"who are you," said Delirium
"my name was Dr. Ignis," said the machine, "but I have been recreated without the burden of pain or emotion. Call me Husk."
The robot now known as Husk moved closer to Delirium and coughed up a cloud of smoke
"for the sake of my organization you must perish," said Husk, "where is your partner?"
"I'll tell you where he is," said Delirium, "If you can win in a fight"
"I don't quite believe you," said Husk, "but I could kill you now and save myself half the trouble, I'll find Arnold eventually"
"THEN BRING IT ON" yelled Delirium
Delirium Iron-Head ran at Husk's legs and attempted to sever an oil valve, he missed and hit the concrete. Husk ran back a few steps and used his momentum to kick Delirium across the street where he ricocheted off of a brick wall
"you are weak," said Husk, "I'll make you better, and then you can tell me where the rest of your posse is."
Delirium stood up and feebly attempted to grab Husk's legs but was easily thrown across the pavement with a kick from the massive robot
"you may be a skilled assassin, but you can never truly fight!" said Husk
Delirium took his knife and slowly crawled around the robot's legs, Husk stomped on the end of his shirt and dragged him back to himself with his foot.
"YOU ARE SCUM" yelled Husk, "I will fix you!"
Husk picked up Delirium and threw him to the ground with a sickening crack. Delirium rolled out of the way of a massive foot that was about to land directly on his neck. Del stabbed a hydraulics line that was wrapped around husk's legs and oil began to ooze out.
"YOU THINK THAT'S ENOUGH TO STOP ME?" yelled Husk
Husk limped over to the other side of the street and hurled Delirium through the wooden mansion where he broke through the wooden floorboards, he landed in a basement with a stove, a pile of scrap metal, a summoning circle, and a well full of magma. Before Delirium could get a sense of his surroundings his train of thought was interrupted by Husk jumping down onto the stone floor.
"this is your last charade," said Husk, "prepare to be corrected"
"so you're telling me that your invincible in every way?" said Delirium as Husk inched closer
"you are right," said the hulking robot, "there is no way you can defeat me now"
"how's your melting point?" asked Delirium
"my what?" replied Husk
Delirium ran at Husk with every ounce of energy he had left and slid across the floor towards the robot's knees, he flipped husk over into the bubbling pool of magma. The massive robot screamed in pain as he slowly descended into the fiery hell. Delirium closed his eyes as Husk's drowning body set off a spark that filled the room with fire and the explosion engulfed the entire block with smoke.
Delirium was spread out on the sidewalk with his arms outstretched and a shard of metal in his chest, and in a single moment, he died.
