Desperation

Prompt #3 - Spine Chilling

Portal Posi’s lab has been discovered! But as you approach, the ground erupts as giant, 12 foot tall serpentine robots rise up from their dusty graves. Their long, segmented bodies look like spines, and their heads are old tube televisions featuring the swirling static of a portal that goes… who knows where. Ice seems to stop them– for a time. Defeat them or sneak past in order to get into Portal Posi’s lab. Make sure they’re all the way down, or they might just follow in behind you. Draw or write about your character dealing with the spine portal robots. Your piece must include your character and a spine-shaped robot with a portal for a head.

Unarmed and cornered, Kobra watched helplessly as the machines pounded against the ice. He would have cut his losses and fled by now, but the ice also blocked the entrance to the lab. With no other options left, Kobra tore off his arm and turned it into a sword just as his assailants finally broke through the ice. He began to mindlessly cut through the robots, letting his adreniline take control until none were left standing. Thankfully, Kobra was able to get a new arm with Ronin's help, but this event has definently taken a toll on his confidence.
