The four-way crossing shocking, surprising, awkward, displeasing. Detretran stared to Letretan, Letretan to Myaostha, Myaostha to Couma-ret, Couma-ret to Brennc, whom laid a deadly gaze upon him.
"Attackers! it's an assassination!"
Brennc lunged towards the Toyu. But, Myaostha blocked it.
The two exchanged blows, near misses.
I must help, Couma-ret rushed forward and joined the duel. "MOTOTO-REEN!"
Suddenly, Brennc became snared by an invisible force, he twist and turn, none worked. But I mustn't harm.
"Monster, it is aiding the other!" A guard shouted.
"Mototo-reen!" Myaostha paused the infantry upcoming charge.
By now, the Citizens of Leato were disstressed, some panicked and fled screaming, "not again, not again..." Others very tempted to add themselves to the fight. Detretran, by himself, thought: Myaostha these are your allies? What are they here for? Did you... betray us... lie to us? NO, we've shared honest time together.
"STOP IT, ENOUGH!" He urged loudly.
From his front, Gertci held her arms, she was ready for an Asa. Detretran held his own pair up, free of any weapon.
"For those who can understand me, do not engage with the interlopers."
Just then, Myaostha heard and told Gertci in his language: "Calm Gertci, do not fight back, come in peace.
"Get off me." Sentamra yelled, untempered by the sudden grab of these natives.
"Sentamra!" Tububig and Uldefyn was being taken.
"You evil! SCUMMMM!" Sentmra sent the living restraints flying and Tububig's captors had the same treatment.
"NARRGH YAA!" Shouted one of them pointing a ranged weapon, a Toor-a, directly at him.
"NOOOOO!!" By sight and instinct alike, Myaostha froze Sentamra, Detretran kicked the Toor-a from the downed Citizen.
"NO FIGHTING!"
"STOP MISUNDERSTANDING!!"
The Giwims seemed to give in. At least, they began to argue, challenge their leader's propostion as the 4 Toyus and Detretran.
"They're using terrible abilites on OUR guards.''
"CAUSING THEM PAIN!"
"KILLING THEM."
"Any of you please explain!" Letretan said frustrated. Whom was a shocked viewer of the situation.
Myaostha whispered the counter-argument. "It is meerly an Asa to paralyze oppoents temporary.''
"These foreigns have only stopped their bodys for a short time, they'll be normal."
"That one blinded me!" Shouted a person from the opposing audience.
Gertci, by Myaostha's own silent command, whispered to Detretran. "He was just trying to escape to see his relative."
"Why though?"
"They're forming an alliance against us!"
"No, no, no. Take my words for truth please!"
"Detretran." Letretan said. "Myaostha and the rest of these intruders, come with me. Citizens, guards, none of you interfere. Unless something suspicious urises."
With that, the group of 7 came down the path to the palace, with shifting peoples making way for them. They stared apprehensive, worried, angry.

"Urgh..."
''Are you fine, Letretan?" Asked Myaostha.
"Ack... honestly not too good. But I'll recover quickly." Letretan had entered Lilipia three additional times, and was nauseous after the last. "Now that you all speak like me. it's time for some necessary inquiry."
By him was his son Detretran. In front, the five interlopers, including Myaostha, in holding cells.
"Could I be at least released." Asked Myaostha. "For I'm completely innocent, I brought back a dead Joiy that was defeated almost wholly by myself."
"But there's also the case you and your friends could bring down this nation."
"You think the five of us can overthrow this city of thousands?" Said Sentrata doubtedly.
"Given... your strangeness the odds are very likely. Anyhow, Myaostha why have your kind come. I'd been told this was a solo mission.''
"It would've been, had I not sent the signal in time. It'd be in itself a signial that I perish. Counter Likewise, that would only be the first part."
"First of how many?"
"2," Couma-ret. "The second part of the plan involves a few selected People to come after Myaostha. 3 adults with 2 children.''
"Oh, oh. Now I see why these Toyus are smaller than the rest." Detretran said.
"Why children?" Asked Letretan.
"We wanted to know if our precious young-ones could survive in their new enviroment." Further said Gertci. "Thankfully they can."
"Who are they?"
''This one is Tububig. She's my daughter." Said sentreta.
"And the other... what, where is-"
"Nah!''
Uldefyn was outside the detention room, behind Letretan and his picking uniform.
"You've soft skin for something tough looking."
"Get your hands off me!" He pushed the little Toyu aside. "How did you escape!?" He added disbelieved.
"I just walked through those beams."
"That's impossible. Those Xentai lasars can shred through- AAH!"
Gertci had phased through the beams too, "It doesn't hurt, not even a little." Soon the others did the same.
"How is that possible for you!?"
"To be honest, Letretan, this isn't our real skin." Sentreta detailed. "It's armor we've been wearing." And after he said this, his helmet unfurled and revealed a surreal face.
Letretan just stood bewildered at the face, the thing on the thing. It was simular to Myaostha's, only it had hair and his skin a smuge rougher.
"That reminds me." Said Myaostha. "We best test how this enviroment effects our bodies.'' The armor that covered his arm unfurled too, exposing the greenish skin beneath. "No harm comes. It's completely safe.''
"Children, don't do this." Gertci warned as he morphed out of his suit. Out of the hard shell was a greenish, long haired, perfectly fine body. It was a little shorter than the armor. In shirt and gown of blue and red, Gertci stretched her limbs for a test.
"The pressure is exactly like home."
"But we can't be entirely sure, may we go outside, Letretan."
"Umm... hmp hmp... yes, I presume so." He'd gotten some of his cunionnesss back.
The collective of Toyus and Giwim moved to a good exterior location.
"Ulydefyn, stop touching the designs at once!" Said Gertci vocally.
"Sorry, sorry, Gertci. It's pattern intrigued me and the texture, the touch was... satisfying."
"Regardless, you need to respect the natives' art."
"So, who is Ulydefyn, your son?" Guessed Detretran.
"He is my cousin." Gertci repiled
"Cousin of whom?"
"Of my brother Remdema. He's a soldier of our army."
"I'm a soldier too. I hope to become the Asutlic among my people, the strongest rank in our army. Train and practice is the way."
"That's the same with us."
"Here is a Lab," Addressed Letertan. "It has the longest balcony in the palace." He opened the door. "Don't take long to-"
