Discovery [StarMech and Sigr]

Despite being in this lust-filled trance, Millie had not expected the young boy to thrust into her with such force. Gasping when the thick rod prodded through her, she felt herself gripping at the stone floor when he started to assault her body with vicious pounding.

It felt to strong. So raw. Like a powerful animal relentlessly mating for its life. With each meeting of eachother's flesh, his rod plunging deep into her core, it made Millie's body quiver in pure pleasure as her mouth gaped open in a series of sexual noises. "Aaah....ahn...ooooh~...." Her moans and the sound of their fucking echoed through the chamber, who knows how far, her mind seemed to be in a strange state, only able to think semi coherently in her own head while outside was nothing but moans and gasps. "O-oh, gods....ah...I...I can't stop....we shouldn't...but he feels a-amazing...oooh.....f-fuck..."

This only intensified once his hands got to work. Reaching upon her clit and massaging it while still relentlessly pounded her, made Millie wonder how much had Leon taught Alex in those things, or perhaps he gotten some outside help or learned on his own. His skills were amazing, almost making her wobble off him by the sheer shock of the sudden added pleasure.

Their sweaty bodies caused them to tumble over, but not even that stopped Alex, simply pushing back in and pinning her harder against the floor. Millie could only keep moaning, a trail spit sliding down her pretty chin as her eyes rolle back in absolute bliss.
 
Alex pawed at those enticing ass cheeks, his usually gentle fingers leaving red traces on Millie's flesh. He was getting closer and closer, but it wasn't enough, not yet. His hard form ended atop the woman's back, their bodies slick with sweat, as he took hold of her shoulders for leverage, pounding her deeper and deeper. Alex had never felt like that, it was pleasurable and intoxicating letting himself go like that with abandon, surrendering to his instincts and without a worry about his partner. Deep down where a bit of the gentle boy was still aware, it was somewhat painful, embarrassing to behave like that, but his little voice was drowned in waves of pleasure.

Feeling himself inching closer to his climax, Alex backed off back to his knees, still inside Millie. He wanted to go deeper, he needed to fuck her stronger. Turning the girl on her side, the boy took hold of one of her legs over his chest and shoulder while he straddled the other. Now he could get a look at the excited face of the girl, but at that moment of lust driven thoughts, he only cared about that as it made him feel better. Embracing her risen leg with both hands, Alex resumed his pounding, the posture allowing him to go deeper than ever at first, and soon enough faster than ever as he picked up the pace.

Both bodies will feel sore after that, pearled with sweat and other fluids, marks left where they clashed against each other in a mad pursuit of pleasure. Alex's breathing grew more and more unstable, as his grunts and moans were louder and louder, his fit body feeling more and more tense. It was clear that he was about to explode inside of Millie in mere moments if nothing prevented it, and Alex could only keep chasing that feeling.
 
Millie didn't have much say in the situation, simply riding the wild fucking she was receiving with zero complains. Her voice continued to zoom through his head, moaning and exclaiming in delight.

She had never expected this side of the young lad, but definitely enjoyed it, something Alex could clearly say once he turned her over, now capable of seeing her face.

Their crazed lovemaking lasted for what it felt like hours, nothing but the scent of eachother and their echoed moans and grunts. Her body felt sorted, tired, but she didn't want to stop. Every thrusts the young adventurer did shook her to her core. Her climax was building closer and closer.

Same could be said about Alex, his throbbing cock no longer able to contain itself. With one last push the two screamed into the air as their orgasms hit simultaneously. Millie's body shivered as a powerful shot of white erupted inside of her and beyond once the boy pulled back and shot a few extra ropes of cum upon her breasts and face.

Millie panted, afterglow taking over. the two stood together, sweaty bodies and all. Her arms, weak but steadily, were placed around Alex. holding him close to reassure him of what he did..."Ah...A-alex...are...are you...a-alright...?" She asked, feeling how the effects of the mist were already leaving them.
 
Alex burst inside Millie, overflowing her with his white seed that came dribbling out as he pulled out, still releasing a few powerful shots over her tired face and body. Releasing his grasp over her leg, Alex fell to a side, lying face up on the welcome cold of the floor, breathing calming down bit by bit as his lust addled mind started to clear out. As soon as the boy had some clarity of mind, he quickly tried to help Millie get up, but before he could even utter a word, she pulled him into a hug. Their sweaty bodies were together once more, but now it was more of a matter of relief than lust, as Alex was terribly ashamed of what happened.

"Feeling... clearer, but don't worry about me, how about you?" Alex answered with another question, baffled that Millie could worry about him. "I'm sorry for what happened, I couldn't control myself, it's no excuse but..." he mumbled, getting a bit teary eyed. He had pounced on her, not resisting the lure enough even if they both had been affected, he had to be stronger than that. He shook his head and blinked away the tears, looking a bit more resolute but still ashamed. "I didn't want to do it, I'd never-" he mumbled, embarrassed. "Well, you are beautiful and gorgeous, so I don't mean-" he promptly added. "Of course I would... but I don't... ah, you know what I mean!" he finished, hiding himself in her neck, tightening the embrace.

After a moment to rest, Alex soon rummaged through the pockets of his discarded clothes, lending a smallish cleaning towel that he had among his things. "Now we just need to find a shower machine... it sure would be better received than this one" Alex managed to joke, "why the hell would anyone build something like this?" he added, shaking his head. Finally noticing that he had been wandering around still naked, Alex was suddenly conscious of himself, even after what happened. It was true that his adventure as a servant while Leon impersonated a prince had helped him with those moments, but after his eager assault on Millie the last he wanted was to be wandering around naked, so he dressed back as fast as he could.

"What now? This sure didn't go as expected..." he said, looking around for a way to continue.
 
((Didn't expect you to take it in the sad route, but I can work with it.))

Millie caressed his hair softly as he leaned on to her, feeling terrible. "Hey, no need to feel like that. It wasn't in your control." She reassured him, the two still naked and sweaty together.

Her cheeks lightened up with a soft chuckle before adding, "Besides...I enjoyed it a ton. You were a dynamo; I can't imagine how you'd be actually in control. Alyssa is lucky..."

She got up, helping Alex as well. Quickly picking their clothes, they re-dressed and dusted off; Hopefully with the reward of a shower once everything was done. "And Alex...if you ever need to, you know, blow off steam and Alyssa ain't around. I could always help you out." She muttered.

She did took a pause at the very good question he gave, "I don't know why would they build this. Were they trying to experiment on something? Or someone? All these rooms, maybe they were sealed rooms to test that gas..."

Alex did, however notice something strange. Despite the exhaustion after such wild copulation, something in him felt invigorated, much more powerful. Yet...he couldn't tell what exactly. Such a strange sensation...

"Hm, we better regroup and keep going, seems that computer is busted anyways." Millie sighed, pointing to the machine they previously activated, now once again broken and smoking.

The two made their way back, out of the basement, past the first and into the second floor. It was then when the two stopped in their tracks, eyes wide and blushing brightly at the sight.

It appeared the gas didn't just affect them. Around the entrance of the second floor was Leon, pants and undergarments down, grunting and groaned as sweat coursed through his chiseled body. "Ngh...ahn...."

Hips hips thrusting deep each time, there was Alyssa, her hands against the wall and her rear up to meet Leon's pounding. Her dress pulled down to be crumpled along her waist while her bare breasts bounced with each firm thrust as her mouth opened in a pleasured moan. Her eye color had shifted from blue to pink while she continued to cry in delight.

Alex knew this was because of the mist, but even so he couldn't help but find the scene in front of him quite exciting. After all, these were two people he really cared about and who he had engaged in intimacy going at it. He was already feeling himself hard, which was work of no fog or gas this time. Millie was in a sorta similar scenario, blushing at how good Leon seemed to be pounding the android.

Their pace accelerated, their noises becoming much rapid and frantic until Leon made one las thrust as he grunted, climaxing. Alyssa squirmed in her own orgasm, shaking a bit. Leon pulled back as he panted, only for the mist's effects to start winding down.

"Ahem..." Millie coughed awkwardly.

"M-millie!? Alex!?" Leon exclaimed. His face red as a tomato, he quickly pulled his pants up.

Still a bit dazed, Alyssa's eyes returned to normal as she saw Alex, a soft blush appearing while she put her clothing back in order.
 
(with Alex being the gentle boy he usually is, he was just worried about his partner, he's a softie)

Millie's lovely caresses and tender words calmed the boy, making him feel better with what happened when he was precisely the one that wanted to make sure she was fine. Realizing that he had worried about nothing, Alex was more relaxed, but also a bit blushed when Millie kept talking. "I'm less selfish for sure..." he admitted, although that young woman wasn't done. Millie offered herself as relief, muttering and somewhat shy, but Alex was more open hearted than that, specially recently. "Hey, feel free to come to me as well, we are all friends and I'd love to have some good time with you, this time under control" he commented.

"No idea, but it really seems for experimentation" Alex shrugged. "It's just me or aren't you tired either? I should be a bit sore and winded and I feel great" he commented, not putting much thought to it, wanting to keep looking around that weird complex. "It seems beyond an easy repair anyways..." he mumbled, looking at the machine before heading out. It wasn't long before they stumbled upon their friends, fucking like crazy against a wall, as they had fallen victims to the gas as well. Even if he just had sex with Millie, the boy started to feel his member bulge in his pants and he could see by the corner of his eye that Millie was no doubt excited as well. Luckily for them, things didn't have time to get any crazier as their friends soon reached their climaxes.

"No reason to be embarrassed, at least not much" Alex said with a warm smile, trying to ease the tension. "It's nothing we haven't seen already or... err... suffered ourselves" he added. "You got hit by some kind of pink smoke, right?" he asked. "Some kind of weird experiment, it... it wasn't bad, I don't feel ill or tired at all" Alex noticed once more. "It's interesting, the color of that mist or whatever wasn't as different as your eyes, Alyssa" Alex said, noticing that they were back to blue. "At least when you are... you know, excited" he tried to explain a bit awkwardly. "I guess that you don't remember anything yet?" he asked her, getting closer to her beloved and holding one of her hands lovingly.
 
"Y-you're not tired? Like at all?" Millie was rather surprised, "I'm still a bit sore. I guess your stamina is way above average, haha."

I appeared this invigorated feeling after the mist was on Alex and Alex alone.

Soon enough, the two arrived upwards and met with Leon and Alyssa going at it. Once finished, Leon apologized, but he was glad the young boy didn't took it wrongly. After all, they had shared a lot together.

He explained him the situation. "Pink mist, huh? I guess that must have been." Leon muttered, "We were just checking this room when suddenly my body felt too hot and I couldn't control myself. Alyssa seemed confused at first but then she immediately kissed me and before I knew it we were doing it like you saw. Still, i don't get why you feel so refreshed, I got exhausted."

"I feel refreshed as well. My power cells seem to have regained energy." Alyssa said in her usual aloof tone. She however smiled when Alex hold her hand; entangling her fingers with his.

However, she was rather confused at his statement about her eyes...or rather, her eye given the other didn't work and she had the eyepatch over it. "My...eyes...?" Her hand softly caressed on the contours of her eye, unaware that her iris color shifted when that happened. "I don't...remember any of that..." She muttered a bit sadden.

However Millie lightened the mood. "Don't worry about it. the important thing is that all of you are fine. It really feels like there isn't any security droids around, makes me feel like this really was some research center with not much super valuable to protect..."
 
When Millie first said it Alex chalked it up to the fact that despite their enjoyment he had been rough with her, but now that Leon confirmed that he was feeling busted as well, the young boy frowned. "That's weird, why did the mist affect me differently?" he wondered out loud, even if he wasn't technically alone in this, as Alyssa felt replenished as well. It was very odd, since even if Alyssa was a complete and perfect person in Alex's eyes, her technological nature also made her special, and Alex wasn't aware of him being any different from Leon or Millie. As strange as that could be, Alex soon worried more about Alyssa than himself, as the notion of not noticing her own eye changing colors seemed to sadden her.

"Hey, don't worry" Alex said, tiptoeing to kiss Alyssa gently. "I love you as you are, and maybe with all this exploring we'll find answers someday" he added, hopeful. "That gas could be valuable, but to see how it's stored or produced we would have to tear the place down and that would be dangerous by itself" Alex commented. "Are we sure that this is just an interesting but not profitable trip? Have we checked everything? If so, we should be going" he shrugged, noticing that maybe Lori had heard both their wild fornications through the communicators, feeling a bit awkward about it.

"Lori, are you there? Everything is fine?" Alex tried to reach. "We kind of got... entertained here, but it seems that it's not much to see" he added, awaiting for an answer.
 
"O-oh do not worry about me..." Said Lori over transmission, "If what you say is true then is not like you were able to stop there..."

"Heh, I hope you were doing any naughty things while listening on us, right Lori?" Millie joked, grinning deviously as her friend started to stutter.

"N-no I wasn't, Millie! D-don't go saying stuff like that so carelessly!!" She quickly exclaimed, getting a chuckle out of the group.

But she quickly shifted back on the job, "When you opened the gates, Alex. I was able to sense a source of energy in my scanners, so there has to be at least something generating enough power to activate these strange gas machinery..."

"Well we didn't get to explore much of this floor before said mist got to us." Leon admitted, so perhaps if we go a bit further in we may find something we can salvage..."

And so the group did, walking further into the second floor. Similar to the basement, this had a series of broken pedestals, opened cellrooms and a variety of computer-like panels, broken or non-functioning. The entire air of it all made it sure to give the impression of being some kind of research or testing facility...

Noticing a stone box by a corner, Millie rushed to it, looking from side to side and to check for anything odd that could give away of being a trap, but seeing notice she gulped and opened the box.

"Hey! There's stuff in here!" Said the pink-haired lass, bending over and causing the young lad to look away almost in instinct after remembering their previous fucking. Leon simply snickered at the fact, quickly whispering. "Hey, can't blame you. She does have a great rump, right? haha!"

Finally Millie pulled up a series of pendants, the same Shell Charm they were wearing to protect themselves. "There's a lot of them. Enough for you guys to have a share and another share to sell! It isn't much but it may pay something..."

However Alyssa started walking, curiosity taking her. She eventually reached a room as she gasped softly. "I have located something" She said to everyone, prompting the group to follow her.

In front of them was an ancient engine, with a glass-like tube at the center holding a heavy Aeon Crystal. While not huge in size, its girth was rather impressive. "Now that'd pay up a lot too!" Said Leon.

"Hm, but it seems when you activated the computer, it must have drained the last bit of energy that it had..." Lori mentioned. however, nobody seemed sadden as they knew exactly how to mend that.

"Should I attempt at recharging the crystal?" Asked Alyssa.
 
Lori's tone of voice and hurried answer made clear that she had been up to something, or at least thought about it, causing the group to laugh. "Then maybe there is something usable" Alex echoed, as that machinery couldn't just work without it, following the rest as they searched the place. A strange though assaulted him as they went. People needed food and such to keep living, it was their energy of sorts, and even if Alyssa did enjoy eating she had already said she didn't need to. Whatever kind of energy source she seemed to have didn't seem to have an end, even if his beloved had times when she was tired and sleepy, specially considering her ability to recharge objects as well.

As they kept going on the feeling of being some kind of laboratory increased, although the cells where empty and no signs of what kind of events transpired there were left. Millie, always hungry for more, soon found something in a corner, although it was her backside and Leon's remark the things that grabbed Alex's attention. "Yes she does..." Alex admitted to the greatness of Millie's backside, blushing a bit before she brought a bunch of Shell Charms with her. "Hey, that's something, not bad-" the boy nodded before the loot, his words cut short by Alyssa's warning as she had stumbled unto something in her curious wandering.

"Whoa" Alex admired, as Alyssa had found an interesting engine that seemed to fuel the whole facility while it was charged. "It's no joke, this could make us money for months, right?" the boy wondered, as he was no expert when it came to peddling the stuff they found, having little world knowledge yet. "Well, without a charge it's not of much use" Alex nodded. "But maybe we should get it out of there before doing so?" he examined the surroundings. "I mean, we don't want to reactivate the mist accidentally and end up in a big orgy" Alex said, a bit ashamed. "No, we don't" he insisted, looking at Leon. "I don't know if we can quite move it without charging it... not sure, what do you say?" he looked at Alyssa. "Can we take the risk?" he asked.
 
Leon crossed his arms and chuckled softly, being cut like that by Alex before he could say a think. "Hey I wasn't gonna say anything..." He said, although probably a lie given how good timing that was for a joke. But alas.

Regardless the group got to thinking. Recharging the crystal right there would have the possibility of activating it and generate more of that pink mist. Millie took a look around it. "I assume whoever built this must have created it with a manual overide to open this, you know, in case of switching crystals...let me see..."

"Geez, do you ever NOT tinker with whatever you come across? It almost sounds compulsive..." Leon said following a sight only to be berated by the woman.

"Well at least I'm DOING something rather than just stand there and try to be funny...which btw, not working...hmm..."

She sneak behind the machine, apparently finding something. Moving her hands in, she started to move some stuff before the glass-like container around the crystal opened with a whoosh sound. "Aha!"

With that the crystal was open for the taking. Alyssa took it out before taking a good look at it. Closing her eyes, she started to focus while a bright light soon encased the item, these charges of energy flying into the crystal as its grey color shifted into an azure blue then a bright purple. The android girl opened her eyes and the aeon crystal appeared to be revitalised!

"Oooh yeah! we did it guys! Some shell charms AND a pretty hefty crystal to sell for a ton of cash!" Millie said excited. "...we'll split half n' half between you guys and me and Lori, of course..."

Speaking of Lori, she soon came into transmission...However, by the tone of her voice, it didn't seem good...

"Guys!! We have a situation!!"

"Huh? Lori, what happened? We didn't activate any traps, did we?" Leon asked.

"A ship just arrived above the lake and its trying to--BRACE YOURSELVES!"

This was followed by a strong tremor that shook everyone in the room, trails of dust falling from the ceiling, thankfully not showing things of crumbling down despite the powerful shock they received.

"The hell?!" Leon groaned, getting up. "Alright, everyone back to the surface!"
 
"Yeah, sure..." Alex smiled at Leon's attempts to excuse himself. His smile broadened when Millie shower her most curious and tinkering side, something he had in common with her, although what in case of Alex was a skill born from raw talent and devouring books, in the redhead's case it seemed to be an aptitude honed through experience and practice. Alex thought about offering to help, but it seemed that Millie was having too much fun digging into that machine so he didn't want to spoil the moment. "Nice work!" he chimed in, once Millie managed to release the crystal.

Alex gave Alyssa some space, as he didn't want to interfere with her task of recharging the crystal nor did he know how physical touch with her could affect the process, so he stepped back for safety. Once it was successfully done, he returned to her side promptly, not only congratulating her for the effort, but also wondering how it felt. "Do you feel okay? After the mist thing and now this..." he asked, reaching to caress her face tenderly, making sure she didn't exhaust herself too much. "You know you can count on me to help, right?" Alex insisted, while Millie celebrated the loot obtained.

The sweet and happy times didn't last though, as Lori's alarmed voice warned them of a second ship reaching the place. "How do they-?" Alex blurted, as no one should know they were there, but there wasn't time for idle questions. "Yes! Lets get out of here before they drown us!" he echoed Leon's intent, running with his friends to the elevator. "Lori, if you can pick us up without being seen do so! But if not, don't engage, we can't lose the Azuria!" he called through the communicator. The Azuria wasn't a super big ship, so maybe she could move unnoticed, but it was better if they didn't risk it. Making sure no one was left behind, Alex went to the elevator, as it was a mechanical piece that wouldn't last long if the assault kept going.
 
Luckily for our heroes, the managed to go up the elevator without any problems, with the Aeon Crystal in hand. The rumbling appeared to stop but as the lights of the outside greeted them they were also welcomed by an unpleasant yet familiar sight...

The grand ship of the Emerald Pirates stood proud atop the skies. By the looks of it, Lori had managed to keep the Azuria out of their sights, but alas, our group of heroes had walked right into the open for them to be seen.

That's when the voice of Captain Aria came out loudly from hidden speakers. A nobleswoman-like laugh resonating on their ears. "Ohohohohoho! There you are!"

"Oh great..." Leon groaned under his breath, his hand instinctively reaching for his magitech blade.

Alex could remember very well their kidnapping by the emerald Pirates, how they kept Leon in a cell, were planning to take Alyssa...but also, that particular intimate moment he and Aria shared at her personal quarters. Her blissful moans and her brown-skinned breasts bouncing with each thrus--

Lucky for him, that her voice shouting across the air brought him back to the matter at hand.

"Did you really think I wouldn't find a way to track you down? It seems you've been busy since the last time we met..." She mocked then, however Alex could sense the frustration in her voice. "You made a mockery out of my crew, and for that you must pay!! But...I can be a generous person. Hand over the Android and the Boy and I'll spare your lives!!"

The situation felt tense...however another voice appeared to interrupt; One of Aria's men it seemed, apparently having barged into wherever Aria was transmitting this in her shop....

"My lady...why exactly are we asking for him as well? I mean, we should demand the android and whatever they salvaged from those rui--"

"D-don't question your Captain, you dog! T-the boy is an important piece for my plan! He...um...h-he seems to understand how the Android works. And that android could give us way more gold than any flimsy crystal they could salvage from such dried up ruins!!"

Her argument didn't seem very convincing...

"A-as I said, hand over the Android and the Boy right now or ELSE!!"
 
"We made it!" Alex cheered, only for his joy to be shadowed by the presence of an all too familiar ship. "Oh hell, the Ambrosia. That means..." he sighed, recognizing the vessel, taking small comfort in the fact that at least the Azuria was out of sight. Maybe they didn't spot them from that height, maybe they could still run to the woods or something, but the echoing of that obnoxious laugh and her proud voice made clear that they had indeed been noticed. Memories of their awkward capture and embarrassing means of escape came to his mind, warming Alex up a bit, energetic and invigorated as he was, but soon Aria's demands distracted Alex from his lewd remembrance.

Aria sounded preoccupied, a hint of resentment in her voice that seemed to go beyond what defeat sounded like. Could she really want something else? If her demand didn't made it clear enough, the intervention of one of her underlings and her unsure, unsteady excuses she gave betrayed her. Maybe they could use that to escape, although it wouldn't be easy and it would be terribly awkward to explain it to his friends, but Alex had some kind of plan.

"I think I have a way for us to get out of this" Alex said to his friends. "Her ship is superior and she has the upper hand now, but we have managed to escape before. We'll have to give her what he wants thought" he said. "The way I escaped the ship the first time included... distracting... err... disabling..." he mumbled, getting flustered and seeing that his friends weren't getting it. "I fucked my way out of her chambers!" he admitted, embarrassed. "And it seems that I didn't do a lousy job since she sounds that she wants more..." Alex added, trying to and failing to hide the pride in his voice, being chased for her lewd prowess.

"Alyssa is more than capable of fending for herself, right darling?" he asked to her. "So both of us can surrender to her and the rest of you can follow on the Azuria from a safe distance, it's a smaller ship after all but it's fast" Alex commented. "Once we, one way or another, manage to escape, will send you a signal so you can pick us up" Alex explained. "It sounds like a stretch, but we don't have other options..." he finished.
 
"Noble idea, but..." Leon responded, "But considering how we got away last time, I'm pretty sure she probably won't fall for something similar again..."

"If we just give you two over to her she probably make it so we couldn't track her." He continued, "We can't risk it...besides, she may be threatening us, but if she wanted you and Alyssa in one piece she can't actually shoot us down with her ship. She gotta be bluffing. And if she sends her goons at us I guess we won't have other choice but to fight."

The voice of the pirate minion soon came out again to speak with his boss. "Um, cap'n?"

"What. Now...?"

"Well, some of the men just noticed but...they seem to be wearing Shell Charms, ma'am..."

A long silence soon followed, our heroes unsure of what would happen. Dread soon climbed up their bodies when they ehard her burst into joy apparently.

"Oh ho ho, do they? Well that makes everything so much easier!!" She exclaimed, before directing her voice to Alex & Co. "Now I can pull back my punches a slightly tad less, ain't that wonderful? Alright pretty boy. You seem to have a knack about machinery, am I right? Let's see what do you think of THIS!!"

A hatch under the Emerald Pirate's flagship parted with a loud booming sound. From under it it expelled what seemed like a huge capsule or pod right into the ground below, feet from our heroes. The pod opened as loud and hard stopped ringed through their ears. A huge figure emerged. Some kind of large bipedal mech, green of color, with huge bulking metal arms and a pair of black pincer like appendages.

A glass-like cockpit was lodged on top of it showing none other than Aria herself on the controls laughing manically. "Haha. So tell me boy, think your dumb little android can't even compare to my beautiful Emerald Battlemech!?"
 
Alex could almost see a smirk on Leon's face when he said his plan of fucking away from Aria was noble, but in general it seemed that Azuria's captain was being serious. The boy felt admiration for the man, as it was precisely at times like this when Leon showed that he wasn't just an adorable goof or a tender hearted lover, but also an experienced adventurer. "That's right..." Alex nodded, understanding why his plan was too risky and wouldn't work. "I think we can best them in combat" he nodded, sure of himself. "Although I don't really know how many they are or how well equipped they are..." he admitted, once again getting ahead of himself.

"Does that woman knows how to turn off the speakers?" Alex wondered as he looked upwards, hearing what was going on the ship. "She's happy about us being shielded?" he frowned, waiting to see what the hell was going on. "Told you, she thinks I'm pretty" Alex added jokingly to Leon, although Aria seemed to have a plan of her own. "Oh, hell..." Alex said, seeing that Aria was at the helm of some kind of huge automaton, a directly piloted robot they had never met before. It had things in common with the defenses of the ruins they had stumbled with, but it was still way different, as it would depend on Aria driving it.

"Maybe I can slow it aiming for the legs" Alex announced, ready to move and start firing his bow of crystal arrows, noticing something. "If Aria depends on that cockpit... maybe we can render her blind by dirtying it with something" he commented, although he couldn't figure out how. There wasn't much time for discussion though, as even if if looked awkward, the Emerald Battlemech was a real and immediate threat. Maybe he had been wrong about Aria?
 
"Don't really have much to dirty her vision with any ideas Mill--woah!!" Leon quickly said right before leaping out of the way of the battlemech's claws hand being brought down upon the ground fiercely.

Millie quickly took out her blasters and aided Alex in opening fire upon the automaton. however, despite the machine getting some damage, it didn't phase its movements in the slightest, quickly charging some orb of energy in front of itself and blasting it to the pink haired girl. Millie gasped as she was hit and flung into the air before roughly landing some feet away. The Shell Charms stopped any severe damage or burns, but it didn't mean that it didn't sting or feel the hurt. "Ngh. Concussive blasts..."

"Ohohoho, why yes. Nothing stands in the way of my precious battlemech. Now, about you boy..." Aria smirked, in two loud steps, the machine and her were now facing Alex, suddenly activating a thruster on its back to go after him. The young lad could see the crystalized arrows did manage to stay upon the mech's legs, but the thrusters' movement caused it to quickly shatter away before reaching him and taking a hold of him with the big metal pincer. "Got ya!"

That victory was short lived before the woman pirate felt her whole place shake. Alyssa, with red eyes and a upset frown, had rammed the battlemech in a powerful dash, somehow creating enough strength to make the automaton lose grasp of Alex and freeing him.

"Gah! You insufferable Android! If you wouldn't be so rare and prized I'd smash you into bits!!" Exclaimed the upset Aria. Alyssa didn't respond back, simply revealing her blade and rushing back to attack her. The blade clashed against Aria's mech's arms as her focus now lied on her.
 
"Millie!" Alex shouted, worried about his friend although she was still mostly fine. Turning around to fire more arrows, he noticed that they weren't doing much, but all too late as he ended up in the mech's grasp. "Ah! Let me go!" Alex squirmed to no avail, but soon his beloved came to the rescue, landing a huge blow on the contraption, enough for him to escape the claw and land on his posteriors. Once again Alyssa was focused on what she was doing, with Alex noticing a change of coloration in her eye.

"Be careful, that thing is quite strong!" Alex recommended, although he wasn't all that sure of her hearing his voice. He knew well that with Alyssa in danger he would do the same, face any danger to rescue her, but he couldn't help but feel that Alyssa's devotion could be dangerous. Words wouldn't help Alyssa though, only actions, so Alex was soon on his feet. Millie seemed to be still dazed and Leon unsure on how to face the machine, so Alex readied his bow.

"Maybe the joints can shake off my crystal arrows, but what about the window?" he muttered. Said and done, Alex started to shoot arrows against the very panel Aria could watch through. He doubted that he could shatter the cabin, but at least if he managed to obstruct her vision Alyssa would have an easier time dealing with the machine.
 
"Well, if you wanna go with that plan, might start doing it now." Leon replied, his sword out ready to strike at the Battlemech. However, he didn't really have much of an opening without the machine easily able to swat him away.

Luckily for them Aria continued to be dead centred on attacking Alyssa, who's agility surpassed the mech, dodging and skipping away of each of its swing. "Why you miserable--Aha!!" In one quick snatch, the pirate captain managed to put its mech's claw around Alyssa, lifting her up as she tried to struggle.

"Good thing you're even more durable than these folks" Aria taunted before bringing the female android down into the ground. Then, she lifted her up and smacked her against the floor once more. And again. And again. Alyssa gasped and winced at every hit.

That was when an incoming crystal arrow hit upon her cockpit, encasing the glass partially in its magical material. "What the!?" Aria shouted in anger once her vision was covered. With her free pincer, she picked back, trying to crack the crystal out, but in doing so she let the one holding Alyssa unattended...
 
"No! Stop!" Alex yelled, every hit that Alyssa took making him feel as one of his own. The urgency of the moment made him hasten with his plan of firing arrows at the cockpit, and soon Aria was more focused on getting her vision cleared than anything else. Using his natural agility and physical form, Alex climbed the mech itself until he reached the hand that was grasping Alyssa. "Are you okay?" he asked, wanting to make sure his beloved wasn't seriously injured. "Give me a moment..." Alex said, wanting to focus on what he had to do and not letting the fear for his loved ones control his movements.

"It's not so different from other machines we found..." he mumbled, examining the pincer itself and taking one of his tools in his free hand. "The actuators must be somewhere under-" Alex muttered, prying a small panel on the wrist of the machine open, looking at the complex machinery inside the arm. "I can't go wrong and make the pincer close more..." he realized, sweating profusely, but he was pretty sure of what did what in that thing. "Come on..." Alex said, tinkering inside the arm in seconds, fully knowing that Aria wouldn't be distracted for long. Forcing a couple of gears and tensing some of the wiring, the pincer opened and released Alyssa. Alex soon abandoned the arm to make sure his girlfriend didn't land on the floor in a bad position once the battle mech thing released her.

"Tell me that you are fine, please Alyssa" Alex begged, with the woman he loved in her arms. "Are you in shape to help us?" he asked after briefly kissing her. "Can you blast that thing? If you can't do it we'll have to flee..." he commented, taking a look at Leon, who had trouble finding a way to attack the machine and Millie, who had been already injured.
 
Despite being hit, Millie still was able to get up and fight. Thanks to the Shell Charms, she didn't have any severe injuries that'd make her incapable of continuing aiding her friends. She and Leon coordinated and kept the battlemech distracted with a barrage of slashes and shots while Alex attended Alyssa.

Much to the young boy's relief, Alyssa didn't seem to possess any severe injuries either. A bit scratched and sore, yes, but still relatively well. Her red eyes shifted back to blue for a moment, when Alex checked on her well being.

"I am still capable to fighting." Explained the android. She pondered if she was able to blast her with an energy attack. She rose her arms at Aria's mech and charged an orb of energy then shot it right upon its chasis. The automaton jerked back, recieving the hit and making some dent and damage, but was still standing. Alyssa tried again and again, adding more firepower to what Millie was doing too.

Leon then moved close to Alex and said, "You know, you little meddling with her mech gives me an idea" He whispered to him, "See those round panels that seem to slightly pop out from the shoulders and side of the legs? Those aren't just four decorations, I think."

He explained himself, "A battlemech like this gotta be using plenty of Aeon Crystals as fuel. I have a hunch those panels there are where the crystals are held. Maybe we can get her in a position where you can rush in there and tinker with those. Without recieving power, that won't be nothing but a huge heap of junk..."
 
"I'll need a distraction, Leon" he asked of his friend, nodding to his plan of depriving the mech of its energy source. Not wanting to get his ass kicked away, Alex thought that the easier access would be on the machine's shoulders, but there was the matter of getting there. "Alyssa, you are strong, do you think you can throw me on top of the mech?" he said, noticing a hint of concern in her eye. "Don't worry, I'll be fine" Alex reassured her with a brief kiss. "Leon, do your best to distract Aria, I know you can be quite attention grabbing" he instructed, a reassured smile on his face now that they had a plan to go with.

As Leon split from them towards Millie wanting to catch Aria's attention, Alex finally convinced Alyssa to give him a hand and prop him to the top of the machine. It was a rough trip and he almost fumbled the landing, but he managed to grasp into one of the many protuberances of the battlemech and climb it towards his goal. As Alex dismantled the first panel, he saw that Leon was right, as they protected the Aeon Crystals that powered that horrible machine. It was a delicate affair, one that was tricky to do when calm, so tinkering with a working crystal while on top of a rampaging robot was anything but comfortable. It took him longer than he wished, but Alex managed to disconnect the crystal from the machine, so even if it was still lodged there, it no longed fueled the contraption.

Alex moved to the other shoulder with difficulty, and what he saw once he opened the other panel didn't please him. It seemed that with the other Aeon Crystal turned off, this one was working overtime to supply the energy of both crystals, exceeding the safe output that it could withstand. As it was, the crystal was humming and vibrating a bit, occasional blue sparkles flying by, the ambient energy making Alex's white hair to stand pointy. Even then he couldn't back off, not when his friends needed him, so he started to dismantle the connections that bridged the machine and the crystal.

If turning of one crystal forced the other to compensate, severing the connectors one by one didn't make it any better, as the machine was still working and demanding more and more power from it. As Alex managed to disconnect the last cable, a flash of surplus energy shocked him before the crystal turned off, sending him away from the mech and landing on the ground, small plumes of smoke elevating from his clothes. "Ughhh..." Alex grunted, barely conscious and feeling how his body ached as the last remains of the energy cramped his arms and legs. "Argh-" small sparkles flew from his body, as he couldn't even move for the time being.
 
While still operating with less Crystals, Aria's battlemech was still receiving some considerable issues. The machine's movements becoming slower, inputs taking longer to activate. "Damnit, work you little piece off--"

However, what was worse was not the mech malfunctioning, but the android gal who was now horrified at seeing Alex paralysed like that. Alyssa glared at the batlemech, her eyes red as blood with a glare that would make anyone shake in their boots

"Oh..."

Alyssa shouted in angry, dashing at the mech and swinging her blade. In one slash, the entire left arm slid off the rest of its body, cut into pieces. She seemed furious. blind in a unforseen anger.

"Graaaah!!" She roared before going after Aria once more, slashing and slashing. the Pirate captain tried her best to block with her remaining arm, this time the blade apparently not cutting as sharply, but still leaving mark after mark. Aria was panicking, and not in a comical woman scorned way; She was legitimately scared, and with right to do so.

Leon and Millie were also shocked. Something about Alyssa was different. She almost seemed bloodthristy!

Alex started to regain his movement, turning up to see his dear android in some kind of beastly fury he had never seen in her.
 
As shock started to slowly fade, Alex was again aware of his surroundings little by little. He had received shocks before tinkering with mechanisms he should fiddle with, but nothing like that as he usually was more careful than dismantling crystals in the middle of a fight. Groaning he managed to slowly sit up, and as the humming and ringing from his ears started to disappear he could first listen to Alyssa's screams, then seeing her go feral and driving back a one armed battlemech on her own.

"No..." his voice croaked, raspy as he tried to get up, stumbling into his fours. Alyssa could go too far to protect him, and even if their foes were pirates they didn't deserve to die, nor did Alyssa had to become a killer. "Alyssa..." Alex said, but she was too far and too focused to hear him. Getting up once more, Alex managed to stay vertical this time, seeing that both Millie and Leon were so surprised that they couldn't even more a muscle.

"Alyssa- Alyssa!" Alex got to finally yell, recovering his strength at a surprisingly fast pace. He was still tired and felt sore, but it was nothing compared to how he felt moments ago, so he started to get closer and closer to make his beloved hear him. "Alyssa stop! I'm fine!" Alex insisted. "We won! You don't need to go further! Come here!" he voiced as loud as he could. It was more of a plea than an order, not wanting Alyssa to kill a now practically defenseless woman that was scared for her life.

"I love you! And I know you aren't like this!" Alex added. "Please Alyssa!" he finished, opening his arms wide.
 
Seeing Alex get up made something spark within her. He was safe. They were safe. she shouldn't...

still, she felt the rage burning within her system. Something long forgotten, or hidden, wanting to break out. She growled, about to lunge when the young bot posed between her and her target. He didn't want her to fight, he was worried, saddened...

Her eyes shifted from the red tone back to her normal tone. "A-alex...I....I'm sorry..." She muttered, looking down in shame.

Aria, meanwhile, just looked terrifying, quickly motioning her ship to bring a lift for her wrecked mech as she tried her best to do a boastful pose, nevermind the part where she was sweating bullets. "A-anyways, I guess I-I will let you go for now. But remember, t-this isn't the last time we meet. I'll...I'll get a machine that finally teaches that android a lesson, y-you hear!?"

With that the ship fully picked her in and they started to soar away, our android heroine managing to actually scare them off.

Leon and Millie just stood speechless...
