For the sake of dialogue, and autocorrect, all alien speak will be human.

Far of in a distant galaxy, lies a planet covered in thick jungles. It is a very lush and overgrown planet known as Hasgara. It is inhabited by green skinned people with blue hair and very animal like eyes, hands, and feet.

Up on the top of mountain lied a sort of cassette looking object. It had a white outside with grey lines all covering it. Climbing to the top of this mountain were two Hasgarians. One little girl with a sort of snowboard and a older boy holding a sled like object.

"Come on Balgor! We're almost there." The little girl shouted at boy who was panting now. "Easy *huff* for you to *huff* say Sedi." He took a bit to catch his breath. "Your six. You run at fifty miles an hour!" Sedi just rolled her eyes at him and kept climbing. "Balgor, you might want to come see this!" She shouted down at him . "Whaaaaat?!" He shouted back at her in an irritated tone. He walked up to top and saw the pod. 

"What is it?" She asked. "I don't know." He said examining the pod. It was longer than a grown man, and Sedi could barley lift her head above it. He wiped the dust off the top revealing a word. T.R.O.O.P. He did this again with the rest of the the surface. Under all the dust rested an old looking robot. It's head was tilted had a rectangular shape. The front of it's chest was sort of pushed out in contrast with it's legs, which were leaned back until the heel. All of it's joints were jagged out. Just like the pod it was pure white except for grey areas.

"It's an old war relic!" Sedi said excitingly. "I wonder how much we can sell it for." She ran to the back of it and pushed from the back. "Come on help me." She told Balgor. He rolled his eyes and started pushing. They got to the edge and as it was going down Sedi jumped on and and rode it. Balgor did the same at the last second.

"Ahhhh!" They screamed as they bolted down the mountain. The pod destroyed everything in their way. "This is awesome!!" Sedi yelled through a muffled mouth. They soon realized that the pod was on a crash course with a tree (trees are like steel here). They jump off the pod letting it slid into the tree. There was a huge cracking sound. 

They walked over to the pod to see it unharmed. Same could not be said for the tree which had been cracked down the middle. Although, the pod had been cleared of more of the dust to reveal a blue holographic keypad. Balgor remembered a line of symbols like the ones on  the keypad. "What are you doing?!" Sedi asked grabbing his hand. Balgor ripped his hand away and said. "I know what I'm doing." He typed in the code and waited in suspense. "Well that was disappointing." Sedi said when nothing happened. Then, the grey lines on the pod glowed a bright military green, and so did the robot inside. A puff of smoke raged out of the capsule as the hatch on the front came open. and out came the android.

The robot struggled out of the capsule. They could now see his injuries much more clearly. His left arm was torn with deep gashes that looked like claw marks. His armour was full of dents and areas seemed ripped off exposing a complex wire system. His head had a huge chunk taken out of it. And his right leg seemed almost limp and beat up.

The robot struggled over to the kids. They looked at him and thought hard. Sedi pulled Balgor into a huddle and said. "Should we help him? I mean he looks like pretty beat up." "Well first let's ask him a few things, then we decide if we should help him." The nodded and walked to the robot. He looked at them as his other leg gave out having him fall to the ground. "So," Sedi started out first. "What's your name?" The robot took a second and looked at them. Then, a scanner spread over them then stoped at their necks. His head started blinking green and the scanner evaporated into thin air. He started to make a sound which slowly turned into a voice. "My serial number is 7183, but my comrades used to call me TROOP." His voice e was very monotone and robotic. The kids, taken aback a bit, asked the next question that would decide what they should do with him. "What did you do before you got in the capsule?" Troop answered almost immediately. "I am a soldier droid built for combat that was enrolled to join a group known as the Protocol." The kids mouths dropped. They had heard stories but didn't believe them. They shook their heads and decided to help him up. They both grabbed a different one of his arms and dragged him to their village.

People stared at the thing that the kids had brought back. They dragged him into the local blacksmiths. 

"So, this thing is from the war and was a Protocol operative?"

 "Yep." The kids answered plainly.

"I really only need a table of sorts to fix myself." Troop clarified.

Troop sat at a table using some kind of device in his finger to fix his arm. While he was doing this he had the rest of his body seemed to be repairing itself. Sedi walked in as Troop made the final repairs.

"So, how the repairs going?" Sedi asked nervously.

"Just finished." He said bluntly.

They stood there awkwardly for a while until a loud bell rang throughout the town. Troop immediately stood up in a battle ready position. Sedi looked back terrified. 

"The alarm!"

"What does it mean." Troop asked in confusion.

"It warns of predators, come help me block the door!"

"No." He stated in his monotone voice. "I was built to fight and protect. And so I will fight them off." 

He walked out of the building towards the middle of the town. Everyone was looking out of their windows waiting to see what would happen. Soon enormous creatures crawled out of the woods. The had long snouts, and a black hyde with fragments of hair sticking out like wild grass. Their teeth were jagged and zigzag in and out. They were on all fours, their claws looked like they could cleanly slice through stone. Their eyes were squinted but you could faintly make out a speck of red.

The creature snarled at Troop as they edged closer to him. They licked their teeth with their slobbery purple tongues. Without warning, one of them charged at him. It was inches away when troop slapped the side of it's head tossing it into a tree. Injured it limped away. The beasts growled as ran to surround him. There was five of them circling around him. Troop looked at them all and large blasters emerged from his body. They attacked them with all their force. He pushed one onto another and blast the eyes of another leaving two unharmed. 

Then they all started to make a ear piercing sound. Trees fell in the forest as a much larger animal emerged. It looked like the others but on it held green markings with many scars upon its body. The queen.

Troop shot at it with his blasters but to no avail. The thing bashed him into a nearby tree. Troop decided to form a plan. Just as the monster opened its mouth he aimed his gun at the beasts mouth a fired. The creature struggled and and slowly died.

Everyone ran up to him cheering him as the things left. 

Sedi walked up to him and said. "What are you going to do now that your repaired?"

Troop looked at Sedi. "It is in my programming to return to my base and protect the rest of the universe."

"Oh." Sedi said disappointed.

Troop's legs rearranged into jets and he ascended into space back to the base.
