Magiswords: The Complete Trilogy

Echoes Part 5

In the Echo Space Station, the away team continue to traverse through the long halls of the factory. They witness the battle drones being constructed on conveyor belts that stretch as far as the eye can see, and requires hover transports to go through. Each platform below the catwalks have a different type of boy being assembled using templates that rip of Jimmy's schematics and Bobert's design. While it intrigues much of the group being escorted by a disguised Noville, Phibby as always gets excited to blow stuff up, but he keeps his thoughts to himself as to not cause a disturbance. They each hop on an open passenger ship that let's them fly along a predetermined path to their destination like a highway system within a cruiser, all while examining the scenery.

Cattus: Oh my..! I've never seen anything like this on such a grand scale!

Familiar: Well, at least we know why there's so many of em to around. This station's big enough to take out an entire city just by floating over it!

Plunderbite: Gives us plenty of reason not to make it crash and burn like that last ship you guys blew up. My boys and I were goin' to get away with half a million, but then that happened.

Cattus: Oh boy! That reminds me of the time I stopped you from robbing the same bank! Good times!

Prohyas: Oh yeah...And the bank got demolished from the shaking from the crash...Hm...Well, anyway, you know how to work this thing, Noville?

Noville: I'm not sure. It has these buttons with no labels on them. I get that everyone in here is an android, but still. What if someone can't see color?

Plunderbite: You mean like you?

Noville: No, the truth is I just wear glasses to look smart. Plus Vambre seems to like it.

Phibby: I just can't wait to smash something again. Neddy probably havin' the time of his life down there with his hammer, and I haven't done a thing!

Glori: Me neither. This is my first time using this sword the Jack the Samurai gave me. Momo said that it's power comes from the person who wields it. But I don't have anything except the sword and my cool hairdo.

Prohyas: Well buddy, I guarantee we're gonna find out in a bit! All we gotta do is get to the prison and get our pals back so we can have a good ol' fashioned Magisword duel with the creep behind this mess!

Plunderbite: Yeah. You do that and get yourselves knocked out. (Licks fangs) I'll just bite him to death.

As the ship continues its way to the prison sector, some of the completed robots make their way to the Earth through the atmosphere in unison. They scout around the empty streets of Rhybloflaven with their scanners and inner flashlights for heat signatures leading to nearby civilians. No one is found yet, but deep below ground in some of the basements of the buildings holds the innocent people hiding from the chaos outside. Among them, however, is someone who isn't so afraid to get out there. A young boy shaped like Bimm named Nyando, peeking out the door to the cellar of the building he's in. He only has a slingshot with him and is eager to show one of the robots who's boss, but someone about his size calmly puts his hand on his shoulder. He turns around and finds Old Man Oldman in front of him with a happy face.

Old Man: Hey there little one! I see you got yer little slingshot with ya.

Nyando: You like it? I made it myself! Just wish I could use it on one of those goons out there!

Old Man: But you're just a boy.

Nyando: You're just an old man.
