Having been flying at Full Throttle for 2 hours,The Robot came to slow down and start flying more efficiently,"We're gonna have to travel halfway across the world to reach out destination,are you ready for this?" Asked the robot in a Stern tone. "Im ready" answered the little girl as they started losing altitude purposefully,eventually landing in the middle of a city,saved by The robot expending it's fuel reserves to get a safe landing

"We're gonna need to make a pit stop here for supplies" he said,noticing he'd landed in the middle of a bunch of humans,all of them equiped with weapons and encircling his position with weapons aimed on him,the girl taking cover by hiding behind him as he stood,watching them
"Release the little girl!" One of them cried out in a fit of rage,"You'd stoop so low as to keep such a young girl hostage?!" The others protested as the Robot continued to look at them and then at the girl,holding her by the hand and walking right past with her

One of the people,in a fit of rage,released a bunch of shots at them and as the bullets approached,the robot had already caught them in his fingers,making known that their weapons won't be very useful,and then as he turned he did a quick scan of the area within a 100km radius,while identifying the place as a city in South Africa called Cape Town he also noticed that the city was overrun with Corrupted robots,noticing that the remaining humans were the only ones who remained while also noticing a figure moving so fast he couldn't get a fix on what it was and eventually after a few seconds he felt a knock to his chest that sent him flying into a 2 storey house building thingo until he crashed into it,knocking one of its support Columns causing the whole thing to come crashing down onto him

The little girl stood there,scared out of her mind as a man stood beside her,tall in stature while resembling an elf,his white hair flowing with the wind,"Little Girl,are you hurt?" he said,looking at the little girl,seeing a lot of blood on her clothes,"Did he do this?" Asked the man,looking at the rubble,"Proto didn't do anything wrong,he saved me!" Shouted the girl,the man surprised by this,not noticing a blue beam making its way to him,knocking him back a whole 50 metres,the source revealed to be a dented proto with his eyes glowing a bright green then reverting to their normal white as he approached the girl,"We should leave,it's getting dangerous" he said as he held her by the hand,just as he was beginning to walk away the man was right behind him and with an attempt to swat the man back from proto,he had already ducked below the attack and popped up in front of Proto,swinging his sword rapidly while proto managed to keep up with a sword of his own,somehow able to block attacks from both swords while being pushed back in the process until a point where his deflecting started coming with ease as if he'd figured the attack pattern,which he had,making 2 leaps back as his sword retreated into a hand with all the parts in his arm continually detach and attach themselves,rearranging elsewhere in a particular order,his whole arm transformed into a cannon for which he couldn't find the target but was quick enough to turn around in time before his opponent's attack,both being in the perfect position for a stalemate with Proto and his cannon pointed at the man while the man had two glowing swords, which were somehow longer than the one he'd been using, at Proto's neck

"Now tell me,This girl says you saved her,what's your motive" asked the man in a skeptical tone.
"It goes against my programming to harm humans and my prime directive has nothing to do with taking anyone's life" he answered,"Now what about you,how didn't you get corrupted?" Asked Proto,"Oh so you figured out I'm a machine too? I'm part of the Limited Run Brand of Androids who were part of the "E.L.F" project to create a substitute for human soldier,though my body is just a few years over 20,my knowledge dates back 237 years ago so you can say that's my real age" he said,smirking

"What exactly happened during my time while shut off" Proto thought to himself,then turning his attention to the girl beside him who was in tears,disarming his cannon and retreating it back into his arm before moving back, crouching on one knee to comfort her,and then placing her over his shoulder his shoulder,"Now from what I've collected,you guys have a ship and plan to abscond from here with it to preserve the survivors,mind if we can tag along,it'll be better for us" Proto said,looking at the Android

"Yes,you may" he responded,one of the humans coming towards them,"But Manúr...how can we trust them,we just met them" he said,looking at Proto an the girl with a look of distrust,"We can't trust them but we can't suspect them either,they haven't given us reason to,and if they turn out to be allied with the enemy, we'll cross that bridge when we get there" he said,walking away to the nearest harbour,The humans following behind
"Guess we found ourselves accomodation" said Proto as he started walking,noticing a look of unease on the Girl's face as they followed the crowd
Finally arriving at the Port where a ship stood strong and the finite members boarded,bringing some of their belongings with as the ship set sail

"So this is how you sleep?" Said the gir,laying in her provisional as Proto sat in the charging Port,recharging all his systems while the girl slept

[[Location:In the Middle of the Indian Ocean

The gentle ocean breeze sweeping through the deck,multiple People working on the ship to keep it going,each assigned with a certain duty with the on board robot and Android duo assigned on security,both of them sitting down at either end of the ship,covering their own halves of the ship with their scanning ability but currently while scanning they were also communicating through telecomunicative means

"You didn't really tell me why you weren't corrupted,you only told me what type of machine you are, Elf" said Proto through the communication line,"I didn't think you needed to know" the android replied,"And call me Manúr" he added,chuckling
"That's a weird name,added to database" Proto said,"and now I need to know to determine whether you will be a reliable ally" he added,noticing the girl was now sitting beside him,"Hello" he said,turning to her,"Hey,Proto,are we close to our destination yet?"

"It's an elf name they thought up as part of the "elf gimmick,and that's actually fair enough,very well,The only reason I'm not corrupted is because I was made before the system so it has no connections to me...wait,who are you talking to" said a voice on Proto's communicator,only Proto able to to hear him
"Well, we're only about a week away on this boat,quite the speedy thing" said Proto,Looking at the Girl,"That long?" She complained while looking him in the eye and pouting,"We could fly there so we can be quicker but I'm out of fuel for my thrusters so I'm grounded" he said

"We have a vast supply of oil in stock" said the voice again,"Eavesdropping? Immoral" said Proto, monotonously in response,"But I appreciate the tip" he further added as he got up with the girl following behind him as he walked through the deck towards the area leading to the lower levels of the ship,"This will be helpf-" Proto started before being interrupted by the rocking of the ship,the vigorous shaking throwing everything everywhere as Proto grabbed the girl by the hand,"Stay within close proximity" he said while looking around,trying to identify the cause while looking for Manúr,finding him gathering the people and guarding their position,seeming as though he'd identified the threat,Proto would then see why as he looked behind him where the others were looking,seeing a giant mechanical serpentine creature coiling itself around one end of the ship and still rising upwards

"Worst case scenario fulfilled" he said with his eyes glowing a deep green as he stared deeply into the eyes of the newest threat to their journey
