I stopped. What the fuck else was I supposed to do? I mean, there were two ED-209 looking motherfuckers with missiles, cannons, and missile-cannons pointed at us. For those of you not in the know, ED-209 was the mech from Robocop. Consider yourself learned.

Jeffry, apparently, did not get the memo because before I could blink, the vampire launched himself forward in a blur of speed. The mechs swung around, trying to target him as he crossed the ten-foot space in an eye blink and buried his fist in the center of the left mech’s chest plate up to his shoulder. Then he tore it outward in a spray of sparks. Black fluid gushed from the wound as electricity crackled across the mech’s surface.

He whirled on his feet, one hand gripping the mech by the shattered chest plate, and flung the entire monstrosity at the still standing mech. It hit with enough force to sandwich the pair of robots against the far wall. More electricity crackled in the air, but I was too stunned to do more than stare at the twisted wreckage that had once been a pair of robot harbingers of the apocalypse.

“Wow,” I whispered as Jeffry hit a button on his suit, dropping his camouflage. He shrugged at me before pointing past the mechs to a porthole-like door a few feet away. It was silver and rimmed with glowing red lights, and it was big, like way bigger than would be required for a human or even those twelve-foot mechs. No, this door was huge, and I really hoped it wasn’t a Maverick-sized door and was instead used for loading freighters or something.

“Nothing to worry yourself over,” Jeffry said, his crimson eyes flashing in the darkness as he moved toward the door and smacked his palm against the panel beside it. Nothing happened, though, which made me realize I’d been holding my breath. “I’ve done this lots of times. You’d be able to as well if you got some training.”

I let it out in an explosive burst of air as I moved toward the vampire. Part of me couldn’t believe he’d tossed around what looked like thousand ton mechs with ease, but then again, vampires were known for bench pressing whales, which was yet another reason why I hated fighting them. It also made me really glad I hadn’t thrown down with the vamp in my apartment. If I had, there would have been no way I’d have gotten my deposit back.

“Can you open this?” the vampire asked, pointing to the door. “Because I can break it down if you can’t, but I’d rather not. Who knows what other security protocols that would trigger?”

“I don’t know,” I said, moving next to the door and staring at it as the hatch that we’d used to gain entry inside this ship snapped shut, leaving us in total darkness. I had half a second to squeak in fright before the area in front of me illuminated with a weird green glow rendering my spell useless.
