(Stream) Downtown, the Sidewinder Motel
| That was fast? Too fast? What lies here is the showdown friends, how exciting?
-XIII
| >A familiar mortar round breaks the sky and narrowly misses one of the helicopters, obliterating part of the motel instead.
| >What began as a basic military operation goes directly to hell as several of the armor present suddenly starts firing at each other! Mechs, tanks, and powered suits alike shoot at each other awkwardly as chaos erupts in front of the motel.
>Meanwhile, someone offscreen appears to be shooting out the helicopters with anti air fire... before one of the vehicles fires rockets at them, shaking the camera with the violent explosions that follow.
| DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH!!!
| >A large military style dropship of some kind roars into view, shaking the screen and causing part of the lens to shatter, but not so much that you can't see what's going on. At any rate, you watch the camera change view to one closer to the action.
>The dropship circles the battle, daunting the combatants as several things occur at once:
>A gravity bike flies into the air and crashes into the back of a mech, splitting into two pieces which fall to the ground. Someone cloaked in white latches onto the back of the mech in the process.
>The battle becomes a melee as several different forces engage at once. The same mech stops firing in mid attack, and you watch as the cockpit opens and the lone white clad figure pulls the hapless man from his post and lobs him off the vehicle, followed by a Wilhelm scream. Whomever they are, they jump right back into the mech and start terrorizing the troops on the ground.
>Two figures drop from the ship and it hovers above ground, just high enough to avoid striking any remaining buildings or trees, before circling the area. Cannons and machine guns reveal themselves from hidden compartments and begin to rain down fire on the ground like an AC-130 gunship.
>While one of the figures vanishes, the other becomes dark and the best that you can see are men and women screaming as something black engulfs them one at a time.
>Several children -or are they animals- and a few adults appear from the ground and attack the soldiers nearest to them, the cries of howls and angry snarling mixing with the cacophony. A small group of noncombatants huddles in the ground as a woman crouches near them, taking pot shots at anyone who gets too close. Another women rips the dagger out of a soldier's load bearing vest and slashes his throat with it, before appearing to fade away.
| >Soon, in between the snarls of animal monstrosities and several armored divisions mysteriously going "haywire" and attacking their compatriots, the morale of the infantry falters. Many of the soldiers abandon the combat area in droves, most injured with grievous wounds. You see some of the defenders chase after something in the distance, but they disappear off screen. One of the mechs that had been co-opted by the defenders explodes, its ruined hulk falling backward onto the ground.
>The area is soon as calm as it had been prior to the fighting, albeit now littered with numerous bodies and destroyed vehicles. All that's left of the stream is the enormous ship from before floating down to the scorched earth to pick up the leftovers.

| >The stream bursts into view at 6090k resolution, showing a dinky little motel under siege. It's on the outskirts of Downtown and is fully lit, if not by the few street lamps that have somehow come back to life, than by the roaring fire of a nearby destroyed and smoldering gasoline station, and the six or seven attack helicopters circling the building like vultures to prey.
>The roads have collapsed completely, taking out a bipedal tank and several APCs. The lucky ones have driven onto the ground of grass and parking lot of the motel proper, where you see black forms entering the building.
