[color=7bcdc8]“That [i]is[/i] you, isn’t it? Always hot-headed and charging into the throes of action…it’s this intuition that makes you so weak.”[/color] The voice echoed all around the transported Vassal and her demonic companion, the mechanical raptors halting in their ascent. They were left to cling to the mountain sides, jutting their heads upwards in an attempt to watch the coming spectacle. 

To Titanica’s chagrin, the immediate threat was not present; why would they be? Yet there was a voice coming much closer than the raptors and all either she or Henry needed to do was look to the skies. Something was slowly descending atop the flat mountain’s peak; something huge that seemed to rival Titanica’s own size, if not eclipse it entirely.

[color=7bcdc8]“That’s the problem with you….things. Flesh and blood can only work so much until finally, [i]finally[/i] you slip up. You make a mistake, and your intuitions are rendered obsolete,”[/color] the voice boomed, its carrier finally landing in front of Henry and Titanica. To the demon prince, it was an unfamiliar machine that somewhat resembled Titanica’s own frame. But the Vassal should have known her opponent, the robot empress’ amplified voice as chilling as the cold that crept over both their shoulders.

Icy winds and buffeting skies gave way to the [url=https://s33.postimg.org/82n7xaw4v/f48839ded1dde58bd9d36afdba9d90dd-d5j77fp.jpg]great machine[/url] that landed with a thud upon already frozen ground. [color=7bcdc8]“Yes, it’s been a long time my fellow Vassal,”[/color] the voice of Archorus, Vassal of Ice, spoke from within the massive machine. [color=7bcdc8]“To think you wouldn’t recognize your own spawn kind…more foolishness of the flesh and blood. Mayhaps you enjoy what I have done to them.”[/color]

The mechanical saurian swept an arm towards the raptors down below in indication. [color=7bcdc8]“I did do well in making their adjustments. To think they would believe I was their goddess….it is a tremendous glory…and my machines tell me you bring a soldier of that malfunctioned trash as well,”[/color] the mecha continued, sensors scanning Henry. 

[color=7bcdc8]“An informant spoke of your appearance here. I intend to run some tests on this model using your combat abilities. Crushing the servant of that false queen will also be due reward….”[/color] Eyes gleaming, the machine opened fire at the both of them, chest opening up with a blast of icy bolts. If they were to fall to this, then all the failure to them. But at least Archorus would have her precious battle data.
