Rage Against the Machine

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a crimson glow across the cityscape of Metropolis. The bustling streets, once filled with life and laughter, now stood eerily deserted. A sense of impending doom hung heavy in the air as the villainous Corben embarked on a relentless rampage through the heart of the city.

With a thunderous crash, John Corben plowed through the streets, sending debris and terrified screams in his wake. The city's inhabitants scattered, their fear palpable in the air. Desperate cries for help echoed through the abandoned buildings, but they went unanswered as Corben reveled in his power.

"Pathetic fools!" Corben's voice boomed with a cold, mechanical tone, resonating through the city. "Superman You Coward!" Corben shouted into the sky, hoping the Kryptonian would hear him due to the super hearing. "Are you really going to let these people pay he price of your sins?" he asked.

He raised his arm, his flesh covered metal arm began to morph, the flesh peeling back and the metal shifting. Soon enough, the arm now resembled a rocket launcher. With a surge of power and smoke, Corben unleashed a devastating rocket that tore through a row of buildings, reducing them to rubble in an instant. The rocket wedged itself into the end building, and exploded bursting rubble into the air. A sinister smile evident on his face.

"No! My shop!" A distraught shop owner cried out, watching helplessly as years of hard work crumbled before his eyes.

Panic spread like wildfire as civilians caught sight of Corben's wrath. Screams filled the air, blending with the blaring car horns and the frantic footsteps of those desperately seeking shelter. Pedestrians scattered in all directions, their hearts pounding in fear as they sought refuge from the inevitable devastation about to be unleashed.

Law enforcement agencies sprang into action, their sirens wailing in the distance. A SWAT team, well-trained and armed to the teeth, rushed to the scene, their tactical prowess honed through countless missions. But they were ill-prepared for the unstoppable force they were about to face.

As the SWAT team arrived, their weapons drawn and adrenaline coursing through their veins, Corben turned his cold, glowing eyes towards the advancing officers, a chilling smirk forming on his metallic face. "What's this? Little insects coming to challenge me?" he sneered, his voice a combination of cold machinery and disdain. "My quarry isn't with you fool, it's with that Alien!" Corben roared.

The Captains jaw tightened as he locked eyes with the villain. "Corben, your reign of terror ends here. Surrender peacefully, or we'll do what's necessary to stop you."

Corben's laughter reverberated through the air, a haunting chorus that sent shivers down the spines of the officers. "Stop me? You insignificant pests are nothing but a nuisance to be crushed beneath my heel. Witness the power of true supremacy!"

The SWAT team opened fire. Hundreds off bullets being emptied as they bounced off Corben's metal skin. The officers could see that their weapons were having no effect, but they stood their ground and did their very best to hold back the monster before them. All they had to do was to buy time for the big guy to show up, and for civilians to get clear. After about twenty seconds of non stop firing, a vast number of SWAT officers had to reload their weapons. 

"Guns?" Metallo laughed, striking fear into the hearts of the listeners. "You call those guns?" he repeated, taking a single step forward menacingly. "Let me show you what real guns loom like!" he bellowed, lifting both arms. One transformed into a mini-gun, with its barrel beginning to spin up. While the other turned into one of the Atlantean weapons he had stolen. Corben let out a small laugh, unleashing countless bullets and plasma based blasts at the officers. 

Two officers were easily taken down, one taking a bullet to the shoulder and the other blasted clear in the chest. Corben moved the Atlantean weapon, and fired straight at a police cruiser. The cruiser was easily turned into an inferno, flipping and almost colliding with several officers.
