Chapter 2 - chapter one- A new friend

"Civilization 90%: mission unclear. Hydraulics stable, energy core stable, sensors stable, thrusters stable, weapons systems stable, system of record and equipment stable, brain stable and voice box stable. POD is unfixable. Advanced maintenance and materials are required." The tall grey metal mannequin robot that wears a 1930 drench coat that reaches the shins with belt said stepping out a human sized circle pod. The robot had not facial features, no skin and no face. His binary sensors were on high alarm as he looked around his surroundings. His hydraulics hissing with steam and his engines roaring with life as he turned around to look at the metal pod. "Pod, severely damaged. Can't repair without materials." He said firmly to no one in particular. A animalistic sound was heard across the clearing and the robot instantly turned around, his arm reconfiguring with mechanical clicks turning into three cannons that glowed a faint blue with crackling lightning. The faint sounds of snapping twigs resounded throughout the forest behind the faceless machine like something was trying to be quiet but was failing due to it being very dark. The only light that shined were the two moons in the sky. The machines blaster cannon retracted, hiding his eerie presence and moving without a sound. His heat vision activating without a thought. He saw ten outlines of pointed ear people, five male and five female. Each had an arrow knock arrow knocked on a bow string with a bright vibrant energy. The machine tilted his head in wonder, searching his data base for any sign of this mysterious phenomenon. A small cylinder cannon liquidized on his shoulder with a laser pointing at one of the male elf's. The machine saw the surprise and curiosity of the elf until it was instant gone as his body exploded, his guts spilling everywhere and his torso falling onto the ground.

One of the female Elves screamed in terrier and shot her arrow at the machine, which the robot dodge by moving its body sideways and aiming the cannon at her. He shot and exploded her body as well. He heard running and turned around to see a elf jumping in mid air with a flaming sword in his hand that light up the area around him, he was young faced the robot realized as he choked the boy by the neck. The sword falling to the ground and setting ablaze the grass around him like a match stick lighting up gasoline.
