A while later, "How is it going?" Cipher asked.
"It's much harder than I thought. I still have nothing," she said.
"Well, it's going to get a whole lot easier," he said.
"What do you mean..." she asked, and at that moment, one of the walls burst and debris came flying everywhere. Cipher instantly appeared before Iris and destroyed all the flying debris.
Iris looked at the robots entering through the opening past Cipher. "Well, that definitely does make it a whole lot easier," she said.
"Right?" he asked as he charged at the incoming robots. It seemed they'd finally noticed what was happening here, he thought.
The battle was intense but one-sided.
Cipher moved like a whirlwind through the incoming wave of robots, his movements precise and efficient thanks to the upgraded battle instinct. He dismantled them one by one - ripping off limbs and other mobility parts like wings, leaving them just barely alive before throwing them back to Iris for her research.
