Previous ChapterThis unit, the crystal solders and Prince Shining are currently just over one mile out from the Crystal Empire capital, Gem-Fort, but are travelling at quite the slow pace. Looking up, this unit can see the sky awash with pegasus ponys setting up, what appears to be, A very large snow storm. This tells this unit that the date must be somewhere around the start of winter for them to be creating A storm this large, but this theory is quickly disproved when Prince Shining notices this units upwards gaze.
"Its currently mid winter if you need to know, the blast you caused is believed to of blown away the storm that was already in place. Just something else to talk about when we get back I suppose. Speaking of witch, Quick Talk, send A message to the Empire that the 'Golem' has been found and is currently travelling with us home" this was said in A loud enough voice that this unit could easily hear him, but what he said next was much quieter, clearly intended for this unit not to hear. "mention that it appears to be docile but preparations should be made anyway, no chances are to be taken."
So the sword was able to remove the storm that was already in place? Excellent. deciding it would be best not to allow Prince Shining to know that this unit could hear what he said at the end, this unit replied with "APOLOGISES PRINCE SHINING, THIS UNITS INTENTION WAS NOT TO DISRUPT ANY WEATHER PATTERNS SET BY THE PEGASUS PONYS BUT ONLY CREATE AN ESCAPE ROUTE OF THE FACILITY THIS UNIT WAS HELD IN."
Looking back down, from the sky to looking directly forwards, this unit observed the pony identified as "Quick Talk" send off A letter, using A small Teleportation Crystal, to the Empire. Noticeably, solders behind this unit are carrying bags of, what is presumed heavy, gear which must be quite tiresome to spend long trips with as their breathing is notably rougher than that of the others around.
Remembering that this unit possesses hooks around this units chassis for this exact reason, this unit rotated its minotaur body around to face the laboured ponys, while still moving forward, and said "THIS UNIT WILL GLADLY CARRY THE EQUIPMENT FOR YOU ON THIS JOURNEY, TO ALLOW YOU SLIGHT RELIEF. THAT IS ONE OF THIS UNITS DESIGNED PURPOSES AFTER ALL."
The pony didn't reply at first, but, after looking behind this unit, presumably at Prince Shining, he and the rest of the ponys muttered their thanks while placing the gear on the hooks using either magic or help from the pegasus. Soon, all the hooks where used and, the once laboured ponys, began to breath at the same rate as the rest, earning A light bit more of their trust. Maybe that's still A bit presumptuous at this stage, but A unit can only hope.
Unfortunately, the slow pace from before was maintained all the way along the road until one of the scouts, in A white cloak, came from ahead with A message to Prince Shining "Sir, the Princesses and the Elements have arrived within the Crystal Empire and are waiting for you, along with Cadence, and this Golem at the throne room!"
"Very well, head back and inform them that we'll be there shortly, and for the love of Fraust, please have someone keep control of Rainbow Dash! We don't want her messing up this delicate situation with that brash behaviour of her's." came Prince Shining's reply. Sounds like this "Rainbow Dash" pony is quite the hand full.
"Yes, Sir!" and with that, he is off towards the Empire at A much quicker speed then we are... If this unit could physically sigh...
...
After the dullest journey this unit has ever heard of, even worse then being stuck in the Facility it was that bad, the band of dull fellows, known as the solders around this unit, found themselves within optic-shot of Gem-Fort, capital of the Crystal Empire.
While no-unit could clearly see the city itself, every-unit could see the unmovable fortress acting as the castle. Its' shining white walls that could, no doubt, be seen from orbit they are gleaming that brightly, even considering the dim light crawling from between the snowy clouds in the sky. The central spire pierced the sky as it stands resistant to any force of nature, while also acting as an amplifier, for any spells cast from the Royal Thrones, because of the many enchanted crystals along its elegant mass, tipped with the largest crystal at the peek. Two dark blue banners, bearing the new Crystal Empires emblem, dangle freely along the sides of the castle, just beside where the royals would give any speeches or important notices. While you would be forgiven for believing that the four legs the castle stands upon are its Achilles heel, you'll find attacking them with anything short of the sun itself will be inefficient because of the numerous amount of seals and runes scattered along its surface, not visible to the naked optic. The blueprints don't do it justice, but how could they? hang on... why does it feel so... guarded?
While this unit was admiring the majesty that is the Crystal Palace, the band of dull fellows had all left, along with their gear, as we entered the city leaving only their best to escort Prince Shining and this unit to the castle. Quick Strike, Quick Talk and two others whose names probably begin with "Quick" if the evidence is anything to go on.
However, this unit has A problem at hand at the moment. You see, there are four very strong magical signatures inside the castle, three of witch shouldn't be there. "THIS UNIT HAS DETECTED FOUR HIGH MAGICAL SIGNATURES WITHIN THE CRYSTAL PALACE. ONE BEING PRINCESS CADENCE, WHILE THE OTHER THREE ARE THOSE OF YOUR... FRIENDS. THEM BEING YOUR SISTER, PRINCESS SPARKLE, AND THE PRINCESSES OF EQUESTRIA." looking down at Prince Shining this unit finished its statement. "REQUESTING PERMISSION TO KNOW WHY THEY ARE HERE."
Without diverging from his path, he replied "Sure, why not? They're the 'friends' that I mentioned when I said I'll talk with to decide what is to happen next. After all, you are still mostly an unknown that somehow used Dark Magic, has connections to the worst tyrant known to all pony kind and had killed eight ponys yourself, that's why."
"YOU'RE LOGIC IS SOUND. WHAT SHOULD THIS UNIT DO IF CONFRONTED WITH THEM?"
"The Princesses you mean? That's A WHEN not an IF." A quick nod to that is this units answer for him to continue. "You will treat them with the same respect that you will show me and Cadence, you are technically representing the Empire here and I don't want any of the Nobles trying gain any dirt on us, so they can gain more power within the city. Is that clear?"
"AFFIRMATIVE." DAM IT! this is going to suuuuuuuck, what this unit means is, the two ponys that this unit was LITERALLY DESIGNED TO KILL are here and this unit needs to treat them with respect. Well, that last part isn't going to be difficult for this unit but will they even want to talk to this unit? Even give this unit A chance to speak its peace? What is this unit on about, its designed to kill... not very 'power of friendship' like...
While this units internal runes where contemplating as many of the different outcomes to the imminent meeting as possible, we arrived at the base of the palace where eight Crystal Guards stood at attention, two looking down the North, East, South and West roads each. These guards all stood around A light blue crystal, held in the air by four spindly legs of white crystal, standing just about the same height of Prince Shining. If any-unit didn't know anything about the Crystal Palace, then they would think that there wasn't any physical way inside. They would be wright, there isn't A PHYSICAL way in, no large attack able gate or anything of the likes, but instead there is A way to teleport inside, This way only ponys with permission can enter. That was the idea anyway as upon our arrival four of the stationed guards turned around to pour no small amount of magical energy inside the crystal, almost as if by force, where upon completion this unit and Prince Shining whizzed away towards the throne room corridor. They must of been using so much magic, considering it's supposed to power itself, because they believe this unit would cause strain without that added boost.
This unit is then brought out of its musings when Prince Shining spoken up saying "You wait here while I go get ready, with the rest of them for the... meeting and don't move from this spot until I call you in alright?" Not even waiting for the reply, he entered the throne room, closing the door behind him without even giving the slight bit of information about what's going on inside.
"AFFIRMATIVE." Is this units un-heard reply. Honestly, this unit just wants to get this over with as soon as possible. Get in. Get told this unit is 'evil'. Get told about this units immediate termination... How do those ponys from Prance say it? Le sigh.
Coming to the decision that there isn't anything better to do, this unit started looking around the hall to take in its maddening brightness. The floor is A different combination of light and deep blues meshing together to create an almost icy floor design. Walls made out of, guess what, smooth white crystal had numerous doors along its length, separated by what starts out as jagged, light blue, crystal but soon smooths out to create your standard pillar. The dark purple doors being the only thing not made out of crystal but instead A mixture of iron and polished wood, probably from the thick trees making up the forest outside the city. Like it's supposed to represent space, the roof is the same dark purple as the doors, but defiantly made from crystal, adorned with massive light crystals every 200m. Overall, the Crystal Palace hallways would give any mammal the same feeling as the harsh storms that frequented the outskirts.
Thankfully, this unit didn't need to find something else to occupy its time with as, soon after the look about, Prince Shining's voice was heard saying "Come now, we're ready for you." Well here it goes...
Using telekinesis, the throne room doors are engulfed in A dark purple aura forcing them open, causing an audible noise from their shear mass, which shouldn't be the case mind you. soon, the doors are fully open allowing this unit direct sight of the thrones and their occupants while also allowing those within to see this unit. Oddly enough, there where two gasps at this units presence, but not from any maid or royal adviser, no, those gasps came from the Princesses, Celestia and Luna, themselves. Strange, they should be the two who didn't gasp at the sight of this unit.
Slowly walking forward, as not to set off any trigger happy ponys, this unit progressed towards the two thrones, noticing many different pony hiding around pillars, rafters and invisibility magic. Probably what Prince Shining ment when he said "no chances". The blueprints state that there is only one throne but that was for King Sombra, not the tow members of royalty the Empire has now so that was to be expected.
On the right throne sits Prince Shining while on the left is his wife, Princess Cadence. This pony is the same light purple Alicorn from the forefront of Prince Shining's memory's, her unmistakable white, pink and purple main flowing like A river down the throne where it meets the ground in A waterfall like manner. While her choice of golden hoof-shoes and golden necklace, you would be forgiven for thinking she's one to dangle her riches in front of every-unit however, the minimalist crown on her head destroys this view. Princess Cadence's Cutie Mark is of A crystal heart with two gold flower like arches either side and her lavender eyes are focused on this unit with the most forced smile that could be possible on any being. The more love A heart can give, the stronger the venom that comes out. Probably why it was so easy for Chrysalis to infiltrate her wedding after all, Shining probably has to deal with her bad side anyway... best not say that to them.
The two Princesses of Equestria sat next to each other beside Cadences throne. This unit doesn't need to describe them, after all, they have so many different texts dedicated to their hair alone that describing them any further would be pointless. However, what does need to be described is the current emotions reflecting from their faces. Celestia's face shows absolute regret and self-loathing, head hung low yet still hanging lower with every one of this units steps, face pointing ever so slightly away from this units direction towards the nearby wall but most noticeably, the single tear storming her chiseled face saying more than any words could. Luna is better, but not by much. No tears are shed but only because the dams hold strong. Eyes changing between focusing on this unit and Celestia every few seconds filled with A mix of anger and regret, A potent combination to anyponys mind. It would seem all these emotions are directed between this unit and the Princesses them self, and while it wasn't noticed by those around, it had created some questions about the two and what they knew about this unit and its development. After all, they where around at the time of the Crystal Empires disappearance.
The six mares on the right side of the royal stairs are the famous Elements of Harmony Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity in that order.
Twilight is... literally sparking? Moving on the spot like A small filly during Hearts Warming when she knows she got that puppy she always wanted. Pinkie is confused by something, if the raised eyebrow is anything to go off, and is uncharacteristically motionless just staring at this unit. Maybe she knows something similar to the Princesses? Fluttershy is, predictably, hiding behind anything she can get her head behind, witch at this moment is her hair. Every now and then, she'll mutter 'oh dear' twice before becoming quiet again and her body is shaking more than A dog drying itself off. Rainbow Dash is... not heading straight for this unit witch is stra- oh, that's why, Applejack is holding her back with A hoof on her tail. But Rainbow's face didn't disappoint, the scowl that she practically trademarked is still there but with more energy on her eyes due to the lack of physical movement. Applejack, is as previously stated, occupied with Rainbow to be paying any attention to this unit at the moment so that annoyed look is for here cyan friend. Rarity is the only one showing disgust for this unit, weather it be due to the 'barbaric' design 'tragic' colour scheme is any-units guess.
Reaching the base of the stairs this unit decided that it would be best if it kneeled to the current rulers of the Crystal Empire, but Unit AA-00, you handsome machine you, how does A Centaur kneel? Well, the slow trip to the Crystal Palace given this unit A lot of time to think upon such things so here's how. First, lower the front legs so that you're now at about A 450 angle, give or take A few degrees and that's the pony body done. Finally, curl the right hand into A fist and lean it into the floor so that you are resting upon it, all-the-while the left hand is placed on the chest, over where the heart would be, and WHAM kneeling like A pro.
"UNIT AA-00 HAS HEEDED YOUR CALL, PRINCE SHINING."
"Good, now let us begin. For those of us that where not there at the first contact, could you reiterate who and what you are?"
"AFFIRMATIVE, THIS UNITS DESIGNATION IS AA-00 BUT THE PROXY NAME, AARON, IS MOST LIKELY USED IN GENERAL CONVERSATION. THIS UNIT IS A MACHINE WITH TWO DESIGNS IN MIND. HOWEVER, CURRENTLY THIS UNIT IS FOLLOWING BASE PROTOCOL AND IS SEEKING THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY IN ORDER TO RECEIVE NEW DIRECTIVES."
"Before anyone continues, Aaron, do you promise to tell only the truth in this meeting? While you are the biggest threat currently known, we do not want to dismantle you for A few reasons, but if left with no choice then we will do it, is that understood?" Hhhhhooolllllyyyyy ssssshhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiii-
"AFFIRMATIVE, THIS UNIT CAN GUARANTEE ITS FULL CO-OPERATION ON ALL MATTERS, TO DO OTHER-WISE WOULD BREAK ALL IN USE PERIMETERS. THIS UNIT HAS NO LIFE OUTSIDE OF BETTERING THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE AND ITS CITIZENS." The royal sisters flinched at that last part, but if anybody seen it they didn't react to the obvious.
"Very well, would you mind disarming yourself? The scouts seen the weapon you used, and quite frankly, I want to see it myself." At this Princess Cadence looked at Prince Shining as if she knew he would ask this but not so early.
"IF IT IS YOUR WILL THEN BY ALL MEANS, HERE YOU GO." Un-sheathing the zweihander from its' compartment, this unit drawn the weapon, slowly, and held it in the air before warning the ponys of its innate abilities. "WARNING, THIS BLADE IS IMBUED WITH DARK MAGIC AND USES THE SAME MAGIC TO MAKE IT IMMUNE TO THE STANDARD MAGIC USED BY MOST PONYS. BECAUSE OF THIS HAZARD, IT ISN'T RECOMMENDED YOU ATTEMPT TO TRY AND PICK THE SWORD UP WITH YOUR MAGIC. YOU WOULD RECEIVE A SIMILAR WOUND TO THAT OF PRINCE SHINING DURING KING SOMBRAS FIRST ASSAULT ON THE EMPIRE." funnily enough, no-unit tried to pick it up with magic, or even their hoofs, after this announcement. Luna, however, along with Prince Shining are very interested with the sword still.
"A zweihander... or would it be A flamberge? I haven't seen any swords of this type since Ger-main-y tried to gain more control over Prance." was what Luna had to say in, admittedly, A silky voice.
"ACCORDING TO THE DATA, THIS UNITS SWORD HAS THE PROPORTIONS OF THE TYPICAL ZWEIHANDER, BRINGING THEIR HEAVY FRAMES TO DEAL MASSIVE DAMAGE EACH HIT, WHILE ALSO ADAPTING THE FLAMBERGE BLADE FOR MAXIMUM DAMAGE TO FLESH." Luna and Prince Shining hummed at this info while the rest, baring Celestia, looked A little disturbed. After they had finnished looking at the sword, and it was commanded by Prince Shining due to the hazard it presented, it was sheathed and stored back inside this units chassis for use in the future.
"We seem to of gotten off track." was all Celestia could say in anything that wasn't A whisper.
"*clears throat* Yes, it would seem we have. Aaron, earlier you said that you have 'two designs in mind', could you please tell the ponys present what they are?" After Prince Shining finished this sentence, the royal sisters heads fell, somehow, even further as if they knew what this unit is about to say.
"AFFIRMATIVE, THIS UNITS FIRST DESIGN WAS TO ASSIST THE CRYSTAL GUARD MAINTAIN PEACE FOR THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE, THIS INCLUDES ANY FORM OF PUBLIC SERVICE. HOWEVER, SHORTLY AFTER KING SOMBRAS' DECENT INTO MADNESS, DUE TO THE CORRUPTION FROM HIS DARK MAGIC, THIS UNITS' DESIGN WAS CHANGED. THE SECOND DESIGN IS FOR THE ASSAULT ON ANY OTHER COUNTRIES AND THE ELIMINATION OF THE EQUESTRIAN PRINCESSES, CELESTIA AND LUNA. THIS IS LIKELY DUE TO THEM POSSESSING, AT THE TIME, THE ONLY THING THAT COULD DEFFEAT KING SOMBRA."
good news, this unit has every-units attention. Bad news, said attention may not all be positive. How did this unit know? Well, the wide eyes and open mouths adorning all but Celestia, Luna and Prince Shining is A good indicator.
"WHAT!? Let me at em', LET ME AT EM'!" came the black-board screeching sound of Rainbow Dash's view on the matter, completely ignoring the impossibility of such A request.
Twilight is the only pony who asked the question that this unit expected to come from Prince Shining. "If that's the case, then why are you kneeling there and not attacking the Princesses? Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad you're not but as A Golem you should be doing everything in your power to fulfil those commands set by the caster."
"It's because it's not A Golem, or even mindless for that matter." interjected Luna.
"What do you mean Luna? If it isn't A Golem then what is it? Is it more complex than A Golem? How much more complex?" replied Twilight, but at this point she had lost focus on why every-unit was here.
"For the answers you seek, to my sister I direct you." was all Luna had to say, in A somewhat sombre tone, as she thrown Celestia A sideways glance. At this point, every other pony in the room had noticed the behaviour of the two Princesses and thus, their faces changed to ones of concerned worry. Even Rainbow Dash isn't trying to attack this unit.
"I... It... It's not important right now, we are here to see if it truly is A threat to ponys or not. Afterwards, I will tell you all." is the quiet deflection of that explanation.
Princess Cadence, who up until this point hasn't stopped looking at this unit, restarted the conversation by saying "Yes, well I'm sure we'll all be looking forward to explanation, but there are more pressing matters at hand" looking back from Celestia to this unit she continued "could you please answer Twilights' original question?"
"AFFIRMATIVE, AS THIS UNIT SAID, THEY ARE JUST WHAT THIS UNIT WAS DESIGNED TO DO, THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S WHAT THIS UNIT WILL BE DOING. THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS THE BENEFIT OF THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE AND PROTECTION OF ITS CITIZENS, THIS WAS IMPRINTED BEFORE KING SOMBRAS' DARK RAIN. NOW THAT ALL PONYS PRESENT HAVE CAUGHT UP TO THE CURRENT SITUATION, YOU MAY ASK ANY QUESTION AND THIS UNIT WILL ANSWER TO THE BEST OF IT'S ABILITYS."
Prince Shining is the first to start questioning with "Was it you that caused the magical serge, and if so how? Also, What was your original intention for heading straight towards the Crystal Empire?"
"THIS UNIT DID INDEED CREATE A SITUATION THAT COULD BE IDENTIFIED AS A 'MAGICAL SERGE'. THIS WAS NECESSARY AS THIS UNIT WAS ON VERY LOW POWER AND AS SUCH NEEDED MORE. AS FOR HOW, THIS UNIT SIMPLY REACTIVATED THE MAGICAL REACTOR INSIDE THE FACILITY USED TO POWER THE PLACE. THIS UNITS' ORIGINAL OBJECTIVE WAS TO SEEK A NEW PURPOSE IN THE EMPIRE BECAUSE, WHEN THIS UNIT WAS FIRST ACTIVATED, EARLIER IN THE MORNING, NOPONY WAS PRESENT TO TELL THIS UNIT WHAT TO DO OR EVEN WHERE TO GO. AFTER WALKING AROUND THE FACILITY, ON JUST ENOUGH MAGICAL ENERGY TO MOVE, THIS UNIT FOUND THE DIARYS OF ONE DR HOT METAL. THIS PONY AND HIS TEAM SEEM TO BE THE PONYS THAT CREATED THIS UNIT ON DIRECT ORDERS FROM KING SOMBRA HIMSELF. AFTER ALL SYSTEMS CAME ONLINE, THIS UNIT DECIDED IT TO BE BEST IF IT WAS TO HEAD DIRECTLY TO THE CLOSEST INSTANCE OF COMMAND."
Princess Cadence came on in with the next question, which wasn't one this unit could of ever expected. "Why is it that I can feel emotions coming from you? As far as we know, no Golem can produce emotions."
What is she on about? this unit doesn't have emotions... does it? "APOLOGISES, THIS UNIT DOES NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION" to this the two sisters heads picked up from their own personal conversation they had with their eyes. "THIS UNIT... SHOULD NOT BE PRODUCING ANYTHING RESEMBLING EMOTIONS." Princess Cadence hummed at that with A questioning look.
"Oh oh oh, do you want A party for your escape or A Birthday party? I don't know which one to do so I'll ask you for what you want. Do you like partys even? If so, what kinds? Can I invite my friends and this Dr Hot Metal? Do we need A big room for you or can you become smaller? ow, and-" was what Pinki had to say in one breath before she was cut off by Rarity.
"oh shush dear, nopony will be able to answer any of your questions if you don't speak properly. Besides, those questions aren't important, what is important, however, is why do you have that dreadful colour scheme? Black and silver was so three years ago." Every-unit just looked at her. "Sorry." well, at least this unit now knows why she was looking at this unit in disgust.
"THEN THIS UNIT WAS 1281 YEARS EARLY ON THAT TREND, RARITY."
"How do you know my name, dear?" she asked, tilting her head to the side.
"TO PREVENT THE UNNECESSARY LOSS OF LIFE, AND RISK CONFLICT, PRINCE SHINING ALLOWED THIS UNIT TO SEARCH HIS MIND WITH A SPELL. THIS UNIT NOW HAS ALL THE MEMORY'S OF PRINCE SHINING SAVED, ALTHOUGH NOT ALL HAVE BEEN READ, AND THUS KNOWS ALL YOUR NAMES, EVEN THE PRINCE'S DAUGHTER." was this units reply.
Speaking of Flurry Heart, the baby Alicorn came bursting into the room from the side door followed by A few maids, all trying to catch her with magic or nets. The baby's flying was as stable as you would think, as in not at all, with her doing spontaneous loops, teleporting short distances in the air and singing A chorus of that unintelligible baby banter. "oooooh ab ab ab goo glar goo" Honistly sounds like something the diamond dogs would come out with.
"FLURRY!" was all every-unit had to say, except the 'hidden' guards of cause. Everypony got up off their sitting positions to start chasing the small Alicorn around the Throne Room in hopes of caching her, all except the Royal Sisters who are still just sitting in the same spots seeming to be enjoying the atmosphere. They where so close A few times, like the one where they cornered her but seemed to of forgotten that she can teleport. All well.
This unit stood up to its full height after the third failed attempt to catch the runaway, but nopony reacted, not even the 'hidden' guards, probably distracted with the comedic situation. They must only attack on Prince Shining's command.
This unit couldn't contemplate the current situation any further, however, as A small pink meteorite found its' way crashing into this units' chassis with A reverberating *ding* from the contact between her horn and this units metal body. Before she could fall any further, this unit cached her with both hand, in A bowl like position, so that she's lying down facing this unit. When she next revealed those cyan eyes, that radiate the same gleeful energy all children do, she started rubbing her horn with both hoofs in discomfort, letting out small whimpers.
This can't be aloud to continue! Without really thinking, this unit casted the same medical spell that it used on prince shining, the spell taking immediate effect, plastered A smile upon her small head reminding this unit of some-unit...
"Glim glim" is the phrase of the day, but also what Flurry Heart 'said' to try and get this unit to place her on this units' head.
"UNFORTUNATELY THIS UNIT WOULD NOT BE ALOUD TO PLACE YOU ON ITS HEAD FOR MANY SAFETY REASONS. IF THIS UNIT WAS TO DO IT ANYWAY THAT WOULD UPSET YOUR MUM AND YOU DO NOT WANT THAT DO YOU?" The only reply was sudden realisation. That and A *Swoosh* as she flew back right towards Princess Cadence.
"FLURRY! Now what have I told you about flying around unattended, not to mention this little stunt!?" Flurry didn't seem to care however and just started to sleep within the magical grasp of her mother. Realising that she wasn't going to get anything out of her daughter, Princess Cadence switched her attention to this unit with A smile, one that should only be given to friends not potential killers of every-unit in the room. "You know, for something that's 'not supposed to be creating anything resembling emotion', you're creating A very large amount of love for my child and even joy."
"THIS UNIT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY... THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY EMOTION... ESPECIALLY... LOVE. THIS UNIT DOES NOT POSSES THE REQUIRED COMPONENTS FOR SUCH A THING, BUT..." looking down at this units right hand it saw it's shaking "IF YOU SAY SO..."

Author's Note
Long chapter here lads, compared to my others anyway. When it came to describing the main cast I will admit, I became ever so slightly lazy and just... didn't. Everybody knows them and what they look like so why spend time doing something I don't want to do when I don't need to do it?
Anyway, have A very good day everyone and so sorry for the lack of consistency. It wasn't that I didn't wright, it's just that I continued writing with new ideas so this chapter became the longest yet.
