Battle for the Black Skull

ROBOT FIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!

Lemme back up a bit. We had the horseman's horse's skull, and we'd hauled ass to some rundown church in a tiny ruin called Hope. Preacher said he'd ask God or something to banish the skull or whatever, all we had to do was make sure his ritual thing went undisturbed. Of course, minutes after he started praying, the forces of Hell itself came runnin'.

The church was engulfed in a swarm of locusts, made everything dark and awesome. Meanwhile, these zombie-lookin' things called Faminites attacked, but we busted 'em up pretty easy. Eventually the zombies brought in the heavy stuff: an armored car, and some huge gnarly lizard monster. It took some fancy moves (and some sick riffs), but we crushed every last foe.

Or so we though, since as soon as the Faminites were gone, we hear a booming voice from another direction. Turns out the Combine robot douches had decided to screw with us again, and they brought themselves an ace in the hole, also known as a big ass mech. Then, in what I can only assume was the gods of awesome smiling down on us, our tank suddenly morphed into THE SICKEST ROBO-MECH IN ALL OF BODACIOUSNESS!!! And lo, it was good, and all was right in the world, for two robots thus fought in most epic of combats.

We fought harder than we'd ever fought before, and came closer to defeat than we've ever been, but awesomeness would prevail, and we pushed back the forces of evil. The Combine soldiers were wiped out, and we trashed that lame contender mech. Fun fact, when it fell smoking and burning into the canyon, the hatch popped open, and who should eject out of there but Stone. Guess that dude really wants us dead now.

The preacher finished his seance or whatever, and the skull totally exploded, so I guess we're done with that. Not gonna lie, I still think that skull would've looked sweet strapped to my guitar, but I'll just have to find another.
