Didact activated the other four Sphinxes. They followed him out of
the Approach. "Sorry guys, the Approach is totalled. I'll have a
word with my guys, see how long it'll take to repair it. Until
then, I have the War Sphinxes for transportation. " He declared.

Galadriel raised an eyebrow. "Are those what I think they are?" She
asked, gesturing towards the sphinxes. "That depends entirely on
what you think it is." Skye deadpanned. Galadriel did not deign to
answer.
Skin-Taker pulled himself and Hoodie back out of The Strings,
warping a few feet to the right of their starting location. He
noticed the others standing together near a pack of large robots.
He slowly moved towards them, a bit wary about the machines. "What
in Zalgo's name are those monstrosities?" Hoodie stood back,
watching the group from afar
"So they are." Galadriel said grimly. "A useful asset in the times
to come." Her forlorn expression told Skye all she needed to know.
Entei was far less known on that area, so he simply thought that
the Sphinxes would prove useful.
(Lel, When Elsas dying, I'll post "Let me go... Let me g~!" Elsa
was shot repeatedly in the head by Quills custom guns. He was
already fed up with her and her fans singing... So yeah. That
was a glimpse of le future.)
Quill ran up to one and jumped on it. "SWEET! MECHS FOR DA WIN!" He
was over excited. He began to grab his camera and take a picture of
him on the War Sphinx. Boomer, and Lockerhorn also joined the
picture. It was agreed a pretty sweet ride.
"Hmm. I wish to know what are next plans for our next
attack. Giratina said as he floated over Galadriel.
The War Sphinx reached up, pulled Quill off and set him on the
ground. "Don't do that." It said in a slightly robotic voice. "I'd
listen to them." Didact advised. "They're robots, but they are self
conscious."
(Honestly, can we please just stop talking about Frozen? )

Hoodie moved forward, inspecting the strange suits. He couldn't
help but wonder what use they would have for these things. He made
sure to keep enough distance that he would not damage the things
with his electromagnetic properties. His attention was drawn to
Galadriel. She seemed quite a bit more pleasant now. Skye must have
worked some magic on her.
"Self aware machines? And we're the ones called horror stories."
Taker muttered to himself. He turned to Galadriel, gesturing to
Giratina. "I agree with him. Is there some important reason we are
still sitting here? What do we do now?"
"If you think that these robots are intimidating, you should have a
look at my Prometheans." Didact muttered. "And transport is short
because, even with the Sphinxes working on it, the Approach will
take a long time to fix."

"Now we need to wait. And try not to kill each other..." Galadriel
muttered the last part in Quenya. "Since the Approach is grounded,
we really have nothing to do until it can fly. From what I know,
that can take quite a while. I suggest we use the time to
practice... I for one intend to brush up on using the Forerunner
guns. Again. Didact, do you happen to have a gun I could borrow?"
She asked Didact.
Didact dropped his weapons, apart from his Boltshot. "Okay, you
have a Scattershot, Light Rifle, Binary Rifle, Supressor and
Incineration Cannon. Take your pick." He said.

Galadriel's lips twitched. Obviously. She found something
hilarious. However, Skye didn't know what was. Probably she
designed a rifle or something, it wouldnt have been beyond her
powers. Or age, for that matter. Skye thought absently.
Galadriel wordlesly picked up the scattershot, spun around and
aimed it at Taker and Hoodie.
Skin-Taker glared at the woman. "And what are you planning to do
with that, huh? It'll take a lot more than a glorified laser gun to
put me down for good." He pointed his cane at her. "Now would you
mind explaining yourself? I thought your little friend calmed you
down."
Hoodie's eye narrowed at Galadriel. He had no doubt that the gun
would kill him, probably instantly, so he needed to be careful. He
quickly put mental walls up. They wouldn't be enough to stop
Galadriel, but they would act as an alarm if she tried. He wasn't
entirely sure whether the woman could see Skin-Taker's thoughts
though. The Master had never been able to, so he just had to hope.
Quill, immediately hid behind a tree. He didn't like it how
Faladriel was swinging that gun. "Hey! Haven't they ever taught you
to never play with guns!" Quill shouted from the safety of the
tree. Lockehorn shook his head and began to eat a berry. Boomer
also did so.
"Seriously Galadriel. Calm the heck down." Didact said, ready to
use his powers to move something between the shot and the targets.
"And if you don't wanna calm down, just tell me why you're pointing
that gun at them before you pull the trigger... If you're planning
to pull the trigger at all, that is."

Galadriel spat a few word in Quenya. Skye scrubCed her nose. "Um...
something about thief, skin, ark, friends, key, traitors, world..."
Skye frowned. She shook her head as Galadriel sapy some more words.
"She's taking you to explain yourselves. Or I think she is."
Quill, in fear, disarmed the scatter shot, or at least tried to. He
threw the pieces back on the floor and grabbed all the other
weapons. He held on to them. "Man. When in comes to Galadriel
cursing in Quenya, I get a feel that I'm going to get shot/
killed." Quill said as he handed back the guns to Didact. Lockehorn
hid, so did Boomer. They were intimidated by Galadriel. Giratina,
who was not afraid, stayed a few paces back. And by paces, it means
meters.
Galadriel advanced on Skin-Taker and Hoodie anyway, as the gun had
purely been for intimidation. She didn't need it in the slightest.
Skye leapt between the Elf and her targets. "Galadriel, enough! You
need to explain yourselves! To us! Now! Good grief, you're being
unreasonable!" Entei opted to also stay a few meter away. Giratina?
No problem. Arceus? Could be reasoned with. Didact? Probably not a
good idea. Skin-taker? Point Rayquaza and Celebi at him. Galadriel
in a fit? Run.
"Okay, enough is enough. " Didact shouted and proceeded to lift
Hoodie, Skin Taker into the air and stop Galadriel using his
powers. He made sure he had a tight grip on all of them. "All of
you are gonna explain yourselves, one at a time. Starting with you,
Galadriel." He growled.
