D vs robot

Grabbing him by the scruff of the neck, Lori dove off to the side. A
second heat shower narrowly missed the pair, striking the ground near
where they lay. Without so much as looking at the physician’s back, Lori
shouldered the shotgun and pulled the trigger. The blast struck the dome shaped torso,
and the buckshot ricocheted off in all directions with a
beautiful sound. Lori threw herself to the ground. There was no way to escape now.

The arm that was going to spray them with white-hot death, however,
turned in the opposite direction along with the rest of its body. In the
shadow of a building some fifteen feet away there suddenly stood a figure
in black so beautiful and tragic it numbed even the electronic brain of this
machine. Perhaps that was the reason why it was delayed a tenth of a
second aligning the sights on its thermal-ray cannon.

Easily leaping over the shower of blistering heat his foe unleashed, D
brought his longsword down, slicing the top of the machine’s head into a
half-moon shape.
