The being in front of both Shin and Y/N didn't have any vocal cords so it had no voice but both of them could read it's lips perfectly. And after only a few seconds, the feminine figure in front of them melted away and the liquid nanomachines that scattered away. The particles soon turned into silver butterflies before flying away.

Y/N: What...?

Shin: I don't...

The two looked at each other, both completely shocked at what they had just saw. A human figure made out of Legion nano-machines...

Shin suddenly grabbed his head.

Y/N: You okay?

Shin: The High-Mobility Type...it abandoned the ruined unit and disassembled it's core processor to escape...

Y/N hopped out of his juggernaut before standing right next to Shin.

Y/N: Well...it's rendered inactive so I'll take that as a win for now. We can figure out just what the fuck we saw later. We gotta get out of here. 

Shin: Legion are made out of that liquid nanomachines right? 

Y/N: Yeah, at least some of them to an extent.

Shin: Remember my brother...he created arms from liquid nanomachines, even went as far as to create human hands.

Y/N: I remember...

Shin: Lena was right...the Legion they're becoming more intelligent...more adaptive. 

Y/N: Yeah...the Huntress I fought earlier. Wasn't like anything I've ever seen before. They're learning from us.

Shin looked slightly nervous before sighing.

Shin: The more I realize...if I keep forgetting the wishes I've been entrusted with...I would become the same kind of war machine like the Legion.

Y/N: Hmm...I get that. Want some advice?

Shin: ...Sure.

Y/N: Find something to hold onto. Something that keeps you human.

Shin: Like you and Anju?

Y/N: Kinda. Doesn't have to be a relationship...just find an anchor. Something that keeps you from drifting away. That way you always have something or someone to come back to.

Shin: I'll...take it under consideration. 

Y/N: Good. Would love to keep chatting but we should probably check back in with Lena.

Shin: Right....Undertaker to Handler One. How copy?

Lena: -Shin! Are you and Y/N alright?!

Shin: Somehow...

Lena: Thank god. Is there anyway for you two to get out.

Shin: Undertaker is destroyed but Ghost-

Y/N: Not operating either. After the battle against the huntress, getting here then fighting the high-mobility type. My engines at it's limits.

Shin: ...Could you send someone to pick us up? Neither of us are injured but...we're kinda stuck here.

Lena: Yes. If that's all I'll have someone right over-

Suddenly footsteps could be heard next to Y/N and Shin.

Raiden: Yooo. Been awhile since I've seen you this fucked up.

Shiden: Heard you two needed a ride. Hey Lil'Reaper, want a piggyback ride?

Shin: Y/N...

Y/N: Yeah I'll go with Shiden.
