The alien pondered for a moment and began glowing softly. This glow was different from the glow he showed before when alert or when communicating with the space ship creature. It seemed to change with his breathing and his thinking.
"If you are trying to distract us it wont work. I know your type, wannabe heroes that cause harm to then fix it like its a game. . . I can't believe I got on this ship with you, following on your little game." said the cyborg walking away looking for a way to collect data and leave.
"Wait, Red it's not like that! Kosmic you need to explain to her that you didn't cause this." Said the youngling looking at the two side by side.
"There's really nothing I can do right now kiddo, if her heart is set on that image of me, the only thing I can do is to show her what I really am." said the alien walking towards the cyborg. "But I would like you to at least listen to what I have to say regarding your accusations of me." he said opening a door. "Everything you need to do your own research lies up ahead, a long with an escape pod and the pod is equit with six more suits. You can decide to listen or to go. You can also go if you do not agree or believe me. And anyone whom wishes to join you is free to do so."
The alien waited for a moment and the cyborg left out a big sight. "Why should I trust what you have to say or that what you are giving me is safe for me to handle?"
The alien tilted his head confused. "Why would I lie to you? I gain nothing from the androids destroying your planet but I loose a lot of valuable things if they do."
"So this is a matter of what you gain rather than helping others?"
"No. That is not what I meant" the alien frustrated tried to think of a way to explain his position.
"I'm just loosing my time here. Come Ben, we can meet up with your other friend and figure something out." said the cyborg to the youngling extending its hand.
The youngling walked towards the cyborg and looked back at the alien. At this moment the alien realized what he had to do and smiled at the two and nodded.
"See? Even at a time like this, he finds it funny that you agree with me." said the cyborg. The youngling understood what the smile meant, and it was very different from what the cyborg got from it. "Is your duck friend going to join us as well?" the cyborg asked the youngling.
"Nah, I want to see where this thing takes me" said the duck with rizz. "But you two have fun"
The cyborg and the youngling entered the escape pod and the doors began to close.
"Why did you let them go K man?" asked the duck with rizz
The doors sealed and the countdown sequence began. The alien looked at the duck with rizz and kneeled down to tell him his plan.
"You see, words may be spoken loudly and with fancy complexity but I know the importance of actions on situations like this." He said going towards the control panel and looking at the star map he waited and the pod shot out of the cuttlefish ship. It was a nautilus like ship.
"But dont we need them on our side? If we all get divided, wont the androids have an upper hand?" asked the duck with rizz
"Well, we still have a lot of friends on our side. But I lack the habilities to persuade your half robot friend in to helping us. But the kiddo and Blue might be able to." said the alien
"So you just gave up on trying?" said the duck with rizz
"Who said I've given up?" said the alien locking in the course and starting the bending drives. "But I really need to stop somewhere before we all meet again."
"Where are we stopping?" asked the duck with rizz
"To go see if a certain friend will join us" said the alien with a smirk as space began warping and bending around them as they traveled beyond the edge of the observable universe. Meanwhile in a distant planet a tall sheep teleported in from a portal and walked towards a rock pile as the squid like flowers near it began to shine. A shiver went up its spine and the sheep sighed. "Oh boy, he's going to ask me to bah for him isn't he." said the sheep.
