《The Children of thunder》Chapter Twenty-six

Obiora charged, his crimson wings flaming, one of the sentinel thumped forward to meet him, their clash sent shockwaves throughout the length of the chamber.
The robot sentinel recovered first and sent Obiora flying with an uppercut then moved towards his sprawled figure mechanically without giving him a chance to recover.
Orchid dived to cover her twin, sending icy shards across the floor to slow it down while they all pulled back towards the chamber doors.
"Ouch, I think a tooth is loosed," Obiora groaned as the robot marched back to join it's partner.
"Serves you right for jumping straight in without a plan," Shettima chided. "Good thing they're not programmed to leave the chamber but we don't have time to spare either."
"So what do we do?"
"Obiora, Binta and Orchid will distract them while I cloak the rest of us invisible, we'll then try sneak past, just try to buy us enough time to get Shango out."
"Why do I always get the hardest part." Obiora faked a protest."
"Cos you've got the hardest coconut head, come on let's go." Orchid teased as she lead her team back into the chamber."
Shettima waited a bit before signalling the others to stay close, spreading his misty wings as he willed himself invisible, they sneaked around the fighting towards the centre of the chamber.
The sentinels must have been made of some rare metal because Obiora's fists barely made a dent on their armoured torso. With a curse he leapt back to evade a backhanded slap from his assailant, he hung in the air, his wings flapping rythmnically content in waiting out of harm's way as he harassed the robots with series of fireball.
The sentinel's visor gleamed red and sent a laser beam his way, the light caught him unawares, hitting him in the chest and sent him spiralling out of the air onto the second sentinel's waiting arms who in turn slammed him against the chamber floor with a bone wreaking sound.

Obiora was stunned yet he strained to get out from the robot's ironclasp grip as it introduce his face repeatedly to the floor but he barely bulged, that was when he realised that he was in trouble. These aren't just ordinary hunks of metals, they were the advanced A.I driven combat bots Shetimma warned them about, in his short existence, he had yet to meet something as strong as he was and now he was been held like an arant chicken.
Binta was the first to spot his dilemma, with a cry she let loose an explosion of electrode that blasted both Obiora and the sentinel separate ways.
That brought her attention to the second robot who sent a laser beam her way, away she raced faster than the robot can track, it paused at this as if confused on why she was still unscratched, it then open a compartment on it's forearm and let lose dozens of tracker rockets.
The rocket lock targeted on Binta following her around the chamber as if she was a magnet, panicky she weaved and blitz away but the rockets dogged her wherever she goes.
"Orchid help," she keened.
"Don't stop running," Orchid warned. "They're all locked on your heat signature they will explode the moment you stop, Obiora get a grip we need you to destroy that robot's control panel before the rockets run Binta down."
Obiora shook the stars from his eyes as he picked himself up, with a roar he charged at the nearest sentinel.
Meanwhile, Shettima had led the others successfully to shango's cage without catching the guardian robot's attention.
