King Metallica's P.O.V.

*TOUN- CRASH!*

I fall back as the monsters fire off a cannonball which mows down a few of my armored citizens, and destroys the wall of a home in the process. I've got to- I've got to stop this NOW, then we'll heal the fallen afterwards, yes!

I launch myself up as Opasa lies unmoving, then run over and accidentally crush his wrist in the process as I charge at our vemonous ememies who have somehow invaded this place. They hear me coming I presume, and so they fall back from fighting my armed citizens and spin the cannon right at my face!

"Load another shot- remember what our infiltrator said swords won't work on him, Cadmo stall him! " I zone out for a moment after I hear those words from the enemy, was I truly so neglectful to have let a false citizen into our midst?!

Anyways the unarmed enemy lines struggle to load up the deadly machine with another large round that I'm quickly approaching, and I'm just about to attempt to disarm the machine until-

*CLANG!*

A massive black metal object falls down upon my entire body from above! This disgracefully brings me down to my knees as I'm forced to spin my arms up and push the thing above me to ensure I'm not crushed.

I spin my head all the way around, until I can see a intruder to the left of me holding a stick- no a handle, it seems to be connected to the thing over me. But- how could he ever wield something this massive!

"King! Please hurry... that Emperor form you told us about- use that to save us!" One of my men gives me orders as I hear him scream a moment later, with the object crushing me starting to push me down even further.

Who does he think he is- although I hope he's ok but... wait... that's it, yes I could use that "Emperor" form that I read in my anatomy book, genius!

"So a "90 degree" spin, and then it should activate!" I say to myself with hope as I swing my left arm down to my chest- which in fact does have a big black gear in the center of it. And so, I grip and twist it with my hand with a bit of difficulty as the weight above me becomes too much to bare-

*TOUN- CLANG!*

A cannonball slams into my chest, however it simply deflects off of me and onto the floor. The object above me feels like it weighs nothing now as my entire body starts to rattle. The rate at which I can move is oddly slow, however I'm still able to stand up with zero difficulty!

Looking down, I can see that my entire body is covered with a robe that appears to be made of thousands of shiny silver shards of metal, so- so beautiful!

"Oh thank our creators, hail to the King!!!" I hear a voice call out, that's Bali!

I feel tempted to assure him everything will be okay but alas, I don't have time for that, I need to figure out how to turn on the sphere things inside of me. I can use them on any objects so... I'll take out that cannon first!

Looking ahead I can already see the filthy enemies in blue all retreating as they roll the cannon away too. I must hurry, they could go to another part of the island and hide there!

I raise my arms above my head to toss away the gargantuan black metal mass that's still above me. And with a bit of a push- it goes HURTLING INTO THE AIR!! It sure seems like I'm not slow anymore!

Ok ok calm down, now for the cannon... wait. If I just launch the weaponry into the air, the cannon could land on someone elses home on the island and hurt my other citizens! So... hm...... the spheres push things away from what I understood...
