The Ninja back flipped to one side, dodging one of the machines' legs as it came crashing down. He swung his sword, the blade, even though it had cut through the hardest of steel, only scratched the metal, not piercing it in the least. The Ninja back flipped away, a small tentacle from the machine swinging at where he was, the end of it sharp, almost dagger-like. The Ninja ducked down as a second machine's leg slammed into the ground in front of him, swinging his sword at the fleshy material, actually hearing the creature make a pained...moo. Back flipping over the thirds' leg, he swung his sword down, slicing the leg as he had done the last, only to me smacked away by another's leg. Hitting a nearby building, the machines converged on his location, the Ninja trying to think of what to do. Dodging a metallic tentacle, which stabbed into the wall with ease, he swung his blade down, cutting the tentacle from the machine, leaping into the air as he landed on top of one of the machines.
He took the brief confusion to study the machine; there were two machine guns mounted on its head, as well as two grenade launchers. In the center was a small dome, which was swerving around wildly. Guessing, the Ninja stabbed his sword into the dome, the machine making various cow noises, stumbling around on its fleshy legs, the Ninja twisting the blade to further the damage, back flipping off as the machine fell. He was caught by another tentacle, thrown into the air as he landed on a fire escape. Standing, he looked over to see the machine's using their long legs to climb the fire escape, their feet gripped the bars like hands, but the bars were bending.
The Ninja ran over to one side of the fire escape, slicing the railing with ease, before running over to the other side, slicing the other railing. The structure began to strain, no longer one whole structure, with the bottom being strained from the massive weight of the two machines. Running up the wall, the Ninja grabbed onto the next level as the structure fell, collapsing onto the two machines. Struggling onto the level, the Ninja stood, stealth activating as he stared down at the debris. After a few moments, the machines rose out of the rubble, their heads swerving around as they looked up at the fire escape. With no heat signature, the Ninja was invisible, and made the machines assume he was killed. Realizing he was stealthed during his original approach, the Ninja knew he had triggered something while moving toward the door to the complex. As he watched the machines, they suddenly were joined by 3 more of their kind, leaping down the street instead of back into the complex. The Ninja looked over, seeing them running down civilians as they butchered them with the tentacles, machine guns, and flexible legs....
