"Yes, if you don't....we are screwed." Great Mazinger says landing beside O'Mally. "Bro! I think that monster thing is back." Mazinkaiser looks at his brother in shock.
"You mean....you saw the Devil Army?" he asks. Great Mazinger nods. "But...who could be behind its revival...."
"Can't be Dr. Hell." Great Mazinger says, "This is a totally different dimension. How could he be here."
"Well, I guess we will just have to find out what is causing these bio machines..." Mazinkaiser mumbles.

Shive landed nearby as the sun finally rose, glancing around at the wreckage, a scowl on his face.
"That b******'ll pay for this..." He growled.
"Is everyone okay?" He asked Solranous flatly.
He kept glancing from side to side, appearing paranoid.

"So far, so good. Thanatos and his companions left before the flares hit, and everybody else survived. And O'Malley upgraded himself." Solranous reported, the dragon wasn't worried about them, he already had a feeling about what was happening when the didn't return for a day, and the unnoticed gleam in Myrr's eyes confirmed it.
"Though, Lora's condition was worse then it is now." Solranous added as an after thought. Rage filled his heart. Rage against Armageddon for putting innocents in harm's way. He would kill that demon, but only after he found a way to prevent Myrr's death from it. If his memories, however fragmented they may be, were true, his death was long over do. And it seemed in every future he was involved in, he got killed in one way or another. If he was going to die, he was going to die after helping save the world. But, even though his was overdo, Myrr's wasn't. She deserved a chance to live a full life with Shive, and that's why he had to find a way to protect her from the 'Armageddon-died-so-she-dies-too' link he seemed to have established. ...He had to... For his daughter...

Shive's eyes hardened as he nodded. The scales on the back of his neck seemed to be standing up slightly, but other than that he seemed like nothing was bothering him. But that was a lie. Something was bothering the hell out of him, but even he didn't know what. He kept glancing at the mountains, then at the junkyard, and back at the remains of the Abandoned District.
"Upgrade huh? That's nice." He stated towards O'Malley, though he was looking in another direction.
What the hell has got me so on-edge?! He growled to himself.
"Well, I'm sorry to see your house like this Solranous. But for now, I guess we'll all have to find a different area to live in." He muttered, scratching his neck in an attempt to flatten his scales.

"Where do you suggest that we go? Wherever we go, Armageddon could snipe us out again. No, unfortuneatly we cannot root ourselves in single place for to long, or we'll all suffer another barage worse then the last... And I can't come with you."
That seemed to catch almost everyone's attention.
"Father... Why can't you come with us." Myrr asked, she had touched down soon after Shive, but was silent until now.
"Armageddon is the reason, I'll say no more." With that, Solranous turned to leave.

Shive snapped back into reality, thinking,
Well... why does that sound familiar?
He stepped before Solranous, crossing his arms with a scowl.
"Lemme guess... you don't wanna come with us because Armageddon is after you, and he'll stop at nothing to find you, even harming those around you? Am I right?"
His tail lashed, and he sighed, shaking his head.
"Who are you again?" He asked.

"It's not because Armageddon is after me. It's because I'm a beacon, weather I want to be or not. Armageddon wants all life destroyed. And he's going to target us first, because we are the only real threats to him save for celestial beings. We are a threat to him, but he can kill us more easily if we're together, especially if I'm around, because he can use me as a spy without my knowing. If I'm with you, Armageddon will kill all of us in one fatal blow and then ressurect us as his slaves, all present robots excluded. If I'm away from the group, Armageddon is blinded to your location, and if he overpowers me and turns me back into my Ruin Mode, all of you will be able to take me down if needed." The dragon's eyes closed thoughtfully.
"Believe you me, if the circumstances were different, I would not hesitate to join you." he added. "You know me as Solranous, but Armageddon knows me as a demon dragon called Darkdrium. Both are correct, but not at the same time. If Armageddon kills us and uses his necromancy, even WarAngel may have trouble overpowering him, though it is unlikely. You saw yourself the kind of damaged Armageddon could take. If he can take attacks that would kill anyone else, what makes you think he doesn't have the power to destroy Downtown and all surronding areas with just a few flares? This isn't just about me, you, and our friends, I'm thinking in advance because the entire world could be resting on this decision."

Shive was about to say something, then paused, and clenched his fists. O'Malley merely nodded, muttering,
"A logical case. But what makes you so sure if you leave, he'll just hunt down your friends while you're gone, using them to draw you into a trap? The results would end the same if you stayed."
Shive blinked at O'Malley, wide-eyed.
"damn robot makes a good case..." Reizus muttered.

"Because he is wounded now, and while he can regenerate, it is slow. He will need at least a few weeks to be back at full strength. While Armageddon normally would stop at nothing, he knows when it is best to attack from the shadows. What better way to keep an unharmed foe at bay the to attack out of their line of sight? However, in order for that to work, he needs to have line of sight to us while staying hidden. He's using me to accomplish that, so if i can't see you, he can't see you, and therefore, he can't attack you and lead me into a trap. In his weakened state, you can take him down temporarily, and he knows this. He needs the time to regenerate, but i believe, dare I say it, that he is possibly even afraid of us now. The only defense he has right now is the fact that Myrr and I will die if he dies. Some may not care about that, and he is still too weak to defend himself in that case.
So, as you said about my case, your case is just as logical. However, the fact that Armageddon can't risk being caught out in the open for now defeats that case. WarAngel may have some sympathy for mine and Myrr's condition considering Armageddon, but the way I hear it is that she won't let that stop her from killing Armageddon." Solranous replied.
"This is the last thing we need: Father conversing/arguing with a droid." Myrr muttered unnoticably.

O'Malley shrugged.
"I suppose that is true." He stated flatly.
The day I am corrected by an organic... He thought, disgruntled.
"But if he can see through you, and if Myrr has been influenced by him as well, then can he not use her as a spy as well?" He asked.
Shive's eyes narrowed at O'Malley, and his fists clenched. O'Malley merely glanced at him, and stated,
"Down, brute. I am merely asking a question."

"In this case, no. Most of the influence Armageddon's magic had on her is gone, there isn't enough for him to use her as we-" Solranous was cut off-
"Not entirely," -by Myrr herself. "My other half is still here, though she is only connected to me through my shadow."
Solranous blinked in surprise, then looked down at her feet, "Speaking of which... where is it?" Myrr glanced down as well and growled, noticing there was no shadow.
"damn b**** must be using her own body right now." Myrr growled.
"Ahem, in either case, Myrr can't be used as a spy because the influence Armageddon had over her is almost non-existant. I cannot say if this 'Dark Myrr' my daughter is talking about can be used as a spy, though." Solranous finished. "Any other questions or disagreements?"
Kisara was tempted to voice her disagreement with Solranous' decision, but she didn't. She didn't know why she felt this way about him. And until she did know, she couldn't make any real decisions on her actions towards him.

O'malley shrugged, then abruptly stopped. His 'pupil' drifted over to the rubble that was once Solranous's house, and he bounded into the air, landing somewhere near the middle. An electric-blue blade of energy shot out from his right hand as he punched it into the ground, digging with it. His eyes was franticall scanning around the area as the hole he was digging was getting wider and wider. He paused, then let out a mechanical sigh.
His cold stare drifted to the others and he asked,
"What?"
Shive blinked as O'Malley stood up, eye drifting to another pile of rubble.
"THERE!" He screamed, rushing past the others.
He started digging as he did before, his chest panels opening and releasing a dozen small missiles that exploded against the ground, making a crater. He jumped back into the crater and scraped away more of the rock until he was about 20 feet below ground level. A 'kink' noise was heard, and O'Malley laughed.
"What do you know? It's another one."
There was something in the hole. It was partially buried by the rock and dirt, but it was apparently metallic. O'Malley cackled again as he started brushing away the excess dirt, giving the thing a more defined form. Whatever it was, it had to be at leat 20 feet tall...

"What the hell is that?" Great Mazinger asks. Mazinkaiser walks over to the hole. He removes some dirt and sees a symbol of some sort. "It looks like a machine...but an old one...." he mutters.
He points his fists at the hole. "This will work better! TURBO SMASHER PUNCH!!" Mazinkaiser's fists spin off at a rapid rate and begin drilling away at the burried machine. Huge chunks of rocks fly through the air. One even hitting Great Mazinger in the head.
The Mazinger grabs his head in pain. "AH!! WHAT THE F### MAN?" he yells. Mazinkaiser ignores his brother and then recalls his fists. The top half of the body was revealed now. It looked like a T-Rex.

O'Malley laughed darkly as he scraped away the rest of the stone and dirt. He ran along the entire length of the machine, muttering things to himself.
"It's of the same origin as Shockwave..."
He reached the head, then popped it open and a cord was reeled out from O'Malley's abdomen. He plugged it into the bot's head and twitched, muttering and laughing silently to himself. A few minutes later, the cord reeled back into O'Malley's stomach, and he hissed,
"Come on... come on..."
The thing's eyes lit up, a deep crimson glow. It shuddered as it began to rise, swaying at it's feet.
A millenia of being buried in rubble isn't good for the joints. He thought.
The mecha tyrannosaurus shook its head, then opened its eyes again and looked around. It spotted the organic beings nearby, and it's mouth opened, a voice asking,
"Where I now? Last me remember, me was fighting Decepticon jerk."

"Decepticon? Hmm, strange. Anyways, your currently in the abandonned district of the town known as Nightshade." Solranous replied, but looked around. "At least... What's left of it. A monster destroyed this part of the city with no remorse for who may have been here."
