Post battle with the old guard...

Only vapor trails remained where the last two zealots had been standing. “ALL THREATS ELIMINATED..” the giant stated. “PANTARAN INFRASTRUCTURE SUCCESSFULLY PRESERVED…COMMENCING WITHDRAWAL PROTOCOLS”. The titanic machine lumbered back to the massive gap in the road, shaking the surrounding buildings with every step. It climbed down into the trench centering itself before condensing back down into the ground, a perfect reverse of how it had emerged. Now flush with the road as it had been before the first explosions, a brief silence fell over the district. The generators began to hum as they spun back up to speed. Service Technicians began repairing the road and collecting debris to be moved out of the district for recycling. Just another day in humanity's “perfect” city.
