*Dan's POV*

We finally got back to the docks where we could see Trayaurus waiting for us. I got out of the boat still a little shaken after what had just happened and tied the boat to the side of the dock. I helped Stampy out of the boat as Trayaurus walked over to greet us. "Ah Dan, Stampy how was your trip?" he asked with the emotionless tone I have learned to tolerate after years of working together.

"Uh....well besides from getting attacked by someone who looked like a robot samurai we're doing just fantastic....." I said as I help Stampy out of the boat.

"Wait attacked by what now?" Trayaurus looked at me bewilderingly.

"He  said we were attacked by a robo swordy guy!" Stampy replied as he waved his arms about with the look of distress plastered to his face.

Trayaurus stood there for a moment just staring at us with an unreadable emotionless face. "Did you get the crystal tree sap?"

"Are you serious right now....." 

"What its important to learn as much as we can about this world Daniel" he said with a casual matter of fact kind of voice.

"you have been here for over five years now Trayaurus, also our world is probably not that much different than your's" Stampy replied as he pulled the sap out of his bag and handed it to Trayaurus.

"Stampy our worlds are almost nothing alike, last time we went to the jungle without a guide we almost got eaten by a giant venus fly trap" Trayaurus  replied with a roll of his eyes.

"aug whatever I'm calling a meeting" Stampy said as he walked into the house with an upset look on his face.

"Trayaurus why do you have to act like that dude?" I asked while turning back around to look Trayaurus in the eyes. "That was kinda rude bud, who says stuff like that after being told their friends were in life threatening danger?" I said as I crossed my arms in an agitated fashion.

He was going to say something until the sound of bells started ringing over the village. "Come on Trayaurus Stamps calling the meeting we can talk more about this attitude of yours later" I said as I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into the house. We began to walk through the halls until we got to the big meeting room we usually go to when Stampy is trying to figure out how to make the village better for everyone. We walk in along with Finnball and Amy who was passing through the hallway on the other side of us. I then sat down next to Stampy as the others began to fill the room.

As soon as the room was filled and everyone was seated in there designated seats Stampy begun the meeting "Alright as you all know me and Dan went to the Snowflake Forest earlier this morning to obtain some crystal sap for Trayaurus, Now we did obtain the sap but unfortunately we were...caught off guard by a strange figure who had tried to kill us....." he explained but got a little quieter near the end. Everyone stared at us in shock and concern, some turned to one another whispering.

"So wait how can someone be in the Snowflake Forest? We have checked multiple times its to dangerous to live there even as a group. The place frequently has blistering ice storms that can kill a hybrid in the matter of thirty minuets!" Lee said while rolling his hands about in a mild expression to exaggerate his point.

"Yes Lee that is true but I don't think this was a hybrid....." I said as I placed my hands down on the table. "They didn't look like anyone I had ever seen in the village, they looked metallic and roughed up" I continued on with the same concerned expression from earlier.

"What do you mean by metallic?" Amy asked as she leaned forward against the table as if she didn't hear correctly. By the way the others faces looked they were all thinking the same thing.

"The person had scuffed up metal all over their body but it was kinda robotic like the metal suit Trayaurus made me one time. But there was strange markings and wires poking out from the chest and transitioning to the neck." I explained as I gestured to my own body trying to help them depict how it looked.

"So what you were attacked by a robot person?" Rosie questioned as she tapped her chin quizzically.

"I suppose so but we don't know if they were specifically after us or if they were just hostile in general....but I know it would be a good idea to put up extra precautions around the the village in case our rather unfriendly robotic neighbor shows up" Stampy replied as he clasped his hands together. "If you all agree then we should probably have the village patrol group to start guarding at edges of town how's about it?" he asked as he looked around at the others who then talk among themselves for the next seven minuets before turning back to Stampy.

"We agree Stampy and whoever it is if they bestow any harm upon our village they will be be punished imminently!" Finnball exclaimed in his deep kingly voice as he brought his fist down on the table while the others nodded their heads to show their agreements.

"very well the decision is made, we will have our patrol group guard the edges of the village and a schedule will be made later on by me" Stampy stated as he got up from his chair. "Meeting adjourned" He said as he left the room.

I quickly got up and followed him over to his office he had built in along time ago for a place to make the schedules and do paperwork that involved the village. He works pretty hard and he use to sometimes pull all-nighters and I find him sleeping face down on his desk. I have even had to forcefully remove him from his office so he could take a break. Later on he had finally agreed to take it easy and no more all-nighters sense then he kept his promise like he always does.

"So what now? we shouldn't let this day go to waste its still late morning we can still have some fun" I said as I leaned against the desk while he sat down in his chair.

"I have to make a schedule for the patrol group, it honestly might take all day...." he said as he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Aw what.....come on Stamps we were looking forward to spending this day together....please~" I whined as I got up and hugged him by the neck.

"Dan I know we have but this is serious we almost died, and I have been looking forward to spending the day with you too but this is re- DAN!!" I cut him off by kissing his cheek and pulling him closer, he struggled for a second before laughing. "your an idiot Dan....."

"Yeah but I'm your idiot~"
