⚙️ THE GOLIATH TWINS
Underground. Steel walls. Zero light.
Only the sound of heavy, hydraulic footsteps.
BOOM.BOOM.
Two silhouettes appeared through the smoke and sparks:
GOLIATH 1 – Metal arms like wrecking balls.
GOLIATH 2 – Shoulder cannons. Legs that crushed bone.
Krypton's voice crackled over the speakers:
"These twins aren't just machines… they're death with armor plating."
In the center, Ryder stood shirtless, bruised but ready. Rain beside him, mask back on, eyes lit with purpose.
"We end this," Ryder whispered.
"Together," Rain replied.
💥 ROUND START
The floor shook as the Goliaths charged.
Ryder dashed right — Rain flipped left.
Goliath 1 swung a steel hammer-fist — Ryder ducked, slid under, and hit the joints.
Sparks flew. But barely a dent.
Goliath 2's cannon fired — Rain backflipped, caught a hanging cable, and swung like a blade, slicing through the twin's shoulder plate with a hidden plasma knife.
"Weak spots are at the back spine!" she shouted.
Ryder grinned. "Time to break some backs."
🧠 STRATEGY AND PAIN
The fight was chaos.
Rain used wires, pipes, and walls like a ninja.
Ryder used brute strength, grit, and raw fire.
But the Twins adapted fast.
One grabbed Rain mid-air — slammed her through a steel crate.
Ryder screamed and leapt, landing on the Twin's shoulders and ripping a vent pipe out to stab its eye-port.
BZZZZZT.
Sparks exploded. One Goliath stumbled, burning.
But the other picked up Ryder — slammed him against the wall — and punched through it.
Blood sprayed.
Ryder was fading.
🔧 TOMMY'S TRICK
Back at the hideout, Tommy watched on hacked cameras. He screamed into the mic:
"The override codes! Use them! On their backs — panel 03X!"
Rain heard.
She ran. Slid under the stumbling Goliath, popped open a spine panel, and jammed her knife inside.
Goliath 1 dropped — twitching, sparking, done.
But Goliath 2 was charging at Ryder — cannon glowing red.
Ryder, barely conscious, stood tall.
"You want vengeance, machine?Come get a taste of it."
It fired.
But Rain dove forward, slammed her fist into the panel, and screamed—
"NOW!"
BOOM.
Both Goliaths exploded — shrapnel flying — flames swallowing the tunnel.
⚰️ AFTERMATH
Ryder woke up buried in rubble.
Rain pulled him out, coughing, eyes watery.
"You're lucky I came back for you."
"No... I'm lucky you're still you."
They limped out of the destroyed tunnel.
And there it was…
🚪 THE FINAL DOOR
A massive titanium gate. The entrance to Razor's control fortress.
A blood scanner. A voice prompt.
"STATE YOUR INTENT."
Ryder pressed his hand to the scanner.
"To end the monster who made us."
The doors began to open.
Inside: Razor. Krypton. An army.
