Pyra POV

I didn't expect Kai to be so strong. The fact that he wasn't even using his full power meant he was toying with me. Something I've never experienced before, not even Malos was able to fight me in such a way. The others came back, grinning.

Rex: We got the parts!

Tora: Yes! Tora and Rex-Rex have retrieved parts!

Pyra: That's great!

Tora: Tora get to work right away!

Rex: Ok

Smol timeskip brought to you by cartoon build montages.

Tora: OK! All finished!

Rex: It's really complete?

Tora: Very complete! Just need to apply energy charge to activate!

Azurda: Tora, our friends' execution draws near. There's no time to lose. Make haste!

Tora: I know, I know! Okay artificial Blade, it's wakey-wakey time!

That wasn't good. Artificial or not, she needed a name.

Pyra: That won't do, Tora!

Tora: W-what Tora do wrong?

Pyra: You can't keep calling her "Artificial Blade"! As her creator, the least you can do is give her a proper name.

Tora: Oh, um, well... Actually, friends, Tora did think of name for her. Very good name.

Rex: Nice. Then I guess there's no problem.

Azurda: Well, why don't you introduce us, Tora!

Tora: Right away!

He flipped a few switches and pulled a few levers

Tora: Now... Wakey-wakey!
Tora's very own Blade! Poppi!

There was a flash of light.

Tora: P-Poppi?

She leapt from where she hang, immediately going into a strange pose.

Poppi: How may I be of service, Master?

Azurda, Rex, and I were dumbfounded. And Kai was slowly advancing toward Tora, muttering something about 'Protect the Loli' and 'Loli lewders must die'

Pyra: Wait... lew-?

My face went red as I processed Kai's statement. And now I was slightly disgusted with Tora

Tora: W-w-w-wait a minute!
Ooh! Forget you see that! Tora must change the settings! Khm...

Tora panicked and shut down Poppi, quickly fiddling with several knobs and buttons

Rex: The settings?

Tora: Th-this time should be OK...
Second time go best! Powerrrr...on!

He flipped the switch again, turning Poppi back on, and this time she seemed more normal.

Poppi: Greetings, Masterpon.

Tora: I...I did it! Tora's masterpiece! World's first artificial Blade...Poppi!

Rex: Whoa!

Pyra: Incredible!

Azurda: That is really quite something.

Tora: Tora did good, huh? You impressed? Tora is a very big success?!

Rex: Absolutely! You're amazing, Tora! Though I was pretty surprised before, when she was all...you know...

Tora: Forget about it! That not Tora's fault! Th-that was, um...
Grampypon! Grampypon Soosoo made settings! Yes, definitely Grampypon's fault!

Pyra: Are you sure, Tora?

Tora looked nervous.

Tora: Y-yes, Grampypon...yes...
Mehmeh!

A nearby cabinet was then blown up by Kai, sending countless maid outfits that looked to be able to fit Poppi flying about the room.

All of our jaws dropped. While Tora ran around trying to hide them all.

Pyra: Well, let's not dwell on that. Rex! Let's go rescue Nia and Dromarch!

Rex: No time to lose!

Tora: Mehmeh...

Poppi: Anyway, my name Poppi. Poppi try hard to make Masterpon proud

Elsewhere, No One's POV

Dughall: *muttering* Grr... That shrew thinks she owns the place, just because she curries favor with the Emperor... If only I'd got the Aegis myself... I could have returned home in triumph, or sold her to Bana for a tidy sum... But it's not over. I refuse to let this place be the end of me! I will not be left to rot in this flea-bitten backwater! *out loud* Captain Padraig!

The captain runs into the room.

Padraig: Uh, yessir!

Dughall: Double the number of guardsmen! Round up whoever you can find! We're going to find that Aegis before Mòrag gets her paws on her.

Padraig: Sir! As you wish, sir!

Padraig left in a hurry.

Dughall: Watch and learn, Mòrag Ladair.

Back with the group Kai POV

Kai: We're on our way to save our friends. Or at least, I'm pretty sire they're our friends.

Yep. We were headed off to the titan warship so we could free Nia and Dromarch.

Tora: There is Titan warship!

Tora pointed out the large vessel.

Azurda: Mmm. Quite the impressive Titan. Another sign that Mor Ardain is readying once more for war with Uraya.

Rex: Look! That root goes right to the ship, just like Pyra said.

Tora: Yes yes!

Rex: We should be able to climb down over here. Let's go!

Pyra: OK!

Kai: *quietly* Cool.

Tora: Off we go!

Poppi: Understood.

Another chapter in the book is done. I feel like I'm doing better updating this one than my first one. Then again, school hasn't started back up yet. Anyway, let me know if I done did goofed, and eat some god damn breakfast! It's 7 in the morning for fucks sake!
