Seth smiles.
"Yes, he did the same. in fact, all three of us attacked without warning. Guess we're all dogs!"
Seth shows that he's carrying a gun.
"But at least I show my weapon beforehand. Makes me the most honorable of us all."
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.As if you know anything of honor by launching a surprise attack like that!
The bot takes aim at Seth before his big gun fires a plasma bolt at the kid and then quickly boosts away to avoid any retaliatory attacks from either him or Jonathan.

Foolish donkey, you would not be able to resist me if I wished your annihilation.The shadows react and shield Seth from the plasma bolt.
"I said 'most honorable'. I never stated I was honorable.", he grins.
The shadows move and he begins to shoot at the robot with his gun. He fires 5 bullets. (The gun can hold 6)
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.With a flick of my hand I raise up a magic barrier against the pulses. It protects against most , but the last few shatter it and the final one nicks my arm. I try not to let the pain show on my face as I scowl at the two of them.
"Honor has it's place; the battlefield is increasingly not becoming one of them," I reply.

The avatar with a lot of character photos is only for inclusion purposes; every character in it will not be used at once.Seth sinks into the ground with his shadows. He reappears behind Jonathan.
"I guess that means the two of us are opponents as well?", he grins, holding his gun against Jonathan's head.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.What kind of gun is it?
The bot's speed and armor plating is too much for the bullets to handle, with two out of five hitting the machine and doing little other than dent the armor.
You think you can defeat me with that pop-gun?! This is a real weapon!
The bot then counterattacks with a triple-shot burst of high-caliber, magnetically inducted shells.

Foolish donkey, you would not be able to resist me if I wished your annihilation.An enhanced standard gun. Its firepower has been increased in order for it to be able to kill demons, which kind of plague Seth's home world sometimes. So denting armor is probably the best it could do to be honest. Demons don't wear armor, you see. But there's a catch: the sixth and final bullet is special...
Seth jumps back, having his shadows take the blow of every attack. Some of the shadows leap up, trying to pierce the armor.
(If you think it's OP his shadows can counter anything... well, you'll see soon enough why it actually isn't. It has a big downside to it which will show if the fight takes long enough.-

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.The bot jets over the shadows, but they end up damaging his spindly legs.
Cloudburst missiles, Fire!
The bot's boxy thighs pop open before unleashing a large onslaught of pencil-sized micro-missiles straight towards Seth and Jonathan.
Foolish donkey, you would not be able to resist me if I wished your annihilation.Seth sees the missiles and the shadows quickly return to him to slice them to pieces, creating small explosions too weak to harm Seth.
However...
The bot may notice that, the more the shadows move, the more Seth begins to sweat. Almost...
As if it takes mental energy to use the indestructable shadows in the first place.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.i grunt in annoyance, prepared to move around Seth, but the bot's fire makes me reconsider. I jump away from Seth, then create two fire spears, each going for Seth and the bot.
Guys, sersiouly, there's three people fighting, not two. Wait your turn.

I see, so it's like psychokinesis but not invisible!
It then keeps up the pressure by blasting Seth with laser pulses, only to cancel mid-volley as it manages to barely dodge a fire spear that was coming for its head.
Abunai na...

Foolish donkey, you would not be able to resist me if I wished your annihilation.Seth's shadows block both the fire and lasers, but Seth begins to sweat more. Then...
Seth's eyes begin to widen and it seems like he's choking.
"S-shit! Now, of all times!?"
The shadows all swirl around Seth, forming a shield. Inside, Seth takes out a small bottle and begins to drink.
(Medicine. Seth suffers from a disease. If he does not drink themedicine in time, he'll just drop dead. But doing so forces him into a defensive pose. He cannot attack now.)

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Well, seeing as Seth cannot attack right now I can only let him defend, so no important moves really happen.
The shot hits the shadows and, while they're still whole, they shudder, almost as if in pain. They were weakening. Soon, they'd no longer be indestructable. Seth's mental strength was fading...
Inside, he finishes drinking and puts away his gun.
"...It's not worth sacrificing the final bullet for...", he softly says.
He keeps defending, being forced to wait for a chance to counter. If he sent shadows now he'd have to lift the shield... it'd mean his death.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.And while he is lining up his shot, I move to create a blue magic symbol underneath him that in a couple seconds glows brightly to send up a hail of ice shards of various sizes (though none are larger than a soccer ball) at great speeds.
The avatar with a lot of character photos is only for inclusion purposes; every character in it will not be used at once.The bot, too busy aiming at Seth; gets rather badly mauled by the ice shards, causing him to cry out in pain and surprise before desperately jetting to the side before any critical damage can be done, ending up faceplanting on the asphalt.
Foolish donkey, you would not be able to resist me if I wished your annihilation.And while Seth is focused on the bot, I create a whirling disc of air and hurl it at him to cut him in half.
"Indeed," I murmur under my breath.

The avatar with a lot of character photos is only for inclusion purposes; every character in it will not be used at once.Seth glances and holds his right arm in front of him to protect him. The air disc slices it, but not completely. And instead of blood... it bleeds oil. It wasn't a real arm.
"Idiot...", he says, gasping for air. "You... you attack me while I came to your aid? How... corrupt..."
Some of the shadows move away from their path and lunge at Jonathan instead.
"False human... corrupt bastard...DIE!"
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.The bot, even while face-down on the ground manages to retain enough awareness to jet away from the shadow spikes; but it wasn't quick enough to truly escape and it ended up losing a fair chunk of its right shoulder and back.
AAAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!
In his pain, the bot loses control and ends up crashing into a wall, thankfully for him; the stun doesn't stick and he unsteadily gets himself back upright.

Foolish donkey, you would not be able to resist me if I wished your annihilation.There we go!
I fly upwards to avoid the attack and to float above Seth.
Well, not literally above his head, just higher in the sky.
"It's not 'corruption', it's pragmatism," I snort, energy gathering in one hand. "And considering you tried to hold a gun to my head, you can't argue with me about attacking supposed allies."

The bot dives down to ground level to dodge the lightning ball before counterattacking with a volley of pinpoint-accurate laser pulses from the extensions on his waist. And upon seeing Seth he accusingly points a finger at the boy.
Your argument falls flat on its face when considering what that guy just did!
