Above in the air once more, he stared down at the city with sad eyes. "I wonder, what happened to the townsfolk..? One day, they're all happy and human-y, the next they're nowhere to be seen and are replaced with robots!!"

Yandela continues padding forward, steadily padding forward through the commotion.

The battle going on between opposing robot armies continued on inside the city. However slowly as time went on it became more and more one sided as the robots under Xiantos side used their numbers and heavy artillery bombardedments to wear down the opposition. While also upgrading and 'evolving' themselves with their enemies technologies.

Mars walked along with yandela, trailing behind her slightly because he kept getting sidetracked by the commotion. Though he called out directions when needed.

She was content to allow Mars to be her eyes. It allowed her to devote more concentration to maintaining their shield.

Edward parked the Tardis outside the city in a location secluded from the others, though any individual with set of keen eyes could easily spot it.
He had changed his outfit to a more medieval-esque engineer type design. Grabbing his sword from the rack upon the wall, he ran outside the Tardis and after the Duo.
"Wait for me!!"

Yandela groaned, but paused obligingly.

He noticed her distress.
"Relax, I'm only here to help. I saw you both with the robots back there in the city?, what was all that about?"

From beneath the ground around them two Xianto's appeared drilling through the surface to stand either side of them. More machines followed them and came from infront and behind to surround the trio. From between their ranks walked a silver haired man with green eyes dressen in armour that covered everything bar his head. He then spoke to the three in a soft voice but oddly audible around the clanking of the machines around him. "why have you attempted to fight us?" he queried

"We're not fighting." Yandela calls up her shields once again.

Good thing this is a low level spell... I could do this for ages.

Edward's expression changed from his calm and collected state to that of an an individual plagued with irritation.
He made his way through the duo and stood in front of the two Xiantos.
"When will you stop this ridiculous attitude?, we need to find those shards." He controlled the level of his voice as so to not display agitation. "This doesn't need to turn into a power play, i've shut down your robots before. There is nothing stopping me from doing it again."
He turned towards Yandela, passing a nod for her to increase the level and durability of her shields.

She easily read Edward's plan in his face and upped the power of her shields, eyes narrowed in cautious concentration.

The two xiantos looked at the silver haired man who spoke for them. "Why do we need to find these shards? Because some boy told you so? Why do you trust him?"

"I would rather trust a boy with the ability to drag five individuals, each from different universes to a point outside of reality than a man with ridiculous robots."
He looked at the robots behind the Xianto.
"No offence they look pathetic, It would have been wiser to use systematic circuits for their A.I, instead of creating these scrap pieces of metal."
"The lady behind me is a magical expert. She could incinerate you to pieces if she felt like it." He turned to give her a wink, implying that she should go along with it.

Yandela stared at the beings coldly, no emotion displaying in her features. The area surrounding the energy shield erupted into flame.

Edward was completely surprised. He had bluffed the extent of Yandela's power but she had literally created a ring of fire.
It was.....amazing...
"E-E-er, i told you she could do it."

The two Xianto's laughed. "these machines behind us are not of our latest models. The more advanced are finishing our war in the city. However you deserve to know about us. While the real Xianto is human with robotic implants both us and our emperor here along with more of us in the city are not true robots, we are of a race known as the Rholix which are memories given a robotic body to control. However enough of that."

The emperor looked at them. "just because he has power does not make him trustworthy. This is the last chance I am going to give you to come to an agreement. Otherwise we will leave, we will upgrade then we will come for you."

"Nobody cares what race you are known as."
Edward faced up to the Emperor. "Remove yourself from our sight. We have a task to do and this little quarrel does not interest me."
"I'll say this only once. IF, you come in front of me once more with the same intentions, i will not be so kind."
"Now go."

The emperor looked down at them. "my intentions were to talk with you and understand why you attacked us. However it seems you are completely unapologetic. Had you been otherwise we would not have had to get angry, assistance would have been offered as if I am am correct Xianto says you were a friend of the Empire. Should you have wanted it as a friend of the empire you should only have needed to ask. Instead it seems we must part as enemies. If you should wish to reconsider we will listen, but only for so long." The other machines turned and moved away with the Emperor staring at the three in front of him before turning.

"You attacked us." Yandela's eyes narrow. "Keep that in mind."
