Writing Prompt: "A story where I don't know who is the hero and who is the villian"

The battle had raged for over an hour. The two champions were now at distance, circling each other. Any moment the fight would resume with potentially lethal results.

"Surrender." the Silver Avatar shouted, it's voice more robotic than man. "The terms we have agreed to are more than fair for the defeated nation."

"Then you concede defeat." sneered the Green Warrior. "I thought the Zenii nation more powerful, more honorable than to send a machine to fight it's battle. I've never seen one of you with so much metal."

The Silver Avatar flexed it's arms, the right one leaked a black ichor that sizzled when it hit the red dirt beneath them. "What exactly are you? A being so genetically modified you can not even breed with the people of the Dengo Hegemony." it's robotic voice almost sing song in it's mocking speech.
The Green Warrior seethed but he knew the Silver Avatar was designed to both fight a mental and physical battle. "What of the slaughter of the whole Feegoo Peninsula?" he asked.

"They were infected, the disease was highly contagious. Without purging of the virus carriers all life on this planet might have ended. You should be thanking us for our quick work on the issue." The Silver Avatar replied.

The Green Warrior kept looking for a change to attack the injured right arm of the Silver Avatar. His own injures were not so easy to see but he knew the cyborg before him knew his knees and back were hurting him.

"What of the spore bombing of Raz-Ho-Cel?" The cyborg asked. "What noble purpose did your people have in killing over ten million people with weapons our whole solar system have outlawed as an abomination?"

The Green Warrior shook his head, it had been over a hundred and fifty years since the sporebombing had taken place, it was three generations ago, yet it was the great shame of his people that they committed such an act.

"It's why we're here fighting for our nations today." The Silver Avatar continued. "Our armies outnumber yours two and a half to one, our air force is far more powerful than yours, but we know that if we were to truly crush your nation. The nation that provoked this war, that in spite of all your denials and claims to have abandoned spore based weapons. You have massive stockpiles and you will use them to annihilate our major cities, leaving us ripe for invasion by other nations." The Silver Avatar said. It felt almost as if there was doubt in it's metallic voice this time.

"You have experimented on those you have conquered as much as you can with getting away with it. You have stripped your whole society of it's humanity. The implants are government required, you've taken free will away from your subjects and turned them into little more then slaves. You are monsters, and now I put you down!" The Green Warrior shouted as he rushed towards the Silver Avatar.

The fight began anew.
