Mayhem runs through the battlefield while Cibor carefully weaves his way through the chaos. As Cibor weaves his way through the battlefield. He patches up any injured pirate he sees along the way. Even the backup from Edenn needs the same help.
Now, as he ventures deeper into the battlefield, looking for anyone else who needs his help. The droid finds himself next to the outskirts of a forest. In the distance, a trail of rubble and dirt catches his eye. He approaches it and notices a few injured animals.
Cibor does his best to patch every living creature he passes as he walks the trail looking for signs of other living beings that could use his help. Then, to his shock, he sees the infamous mad soldier, Amaro Midas!
He approaches the soldier slowly, at first not recognizing who he is. Then, as Amaro can hear Cibor's footsteps heading his way, he picks his head up, showing his face to Cibor.
This shocks the droid as he finds out his suspicion of encountering a dangerous situation is true. With his face bloodied and bruised, he spits out blood from his mouth and says to Cibor, "Hey! Medic droid. Patch me up!" Cibor hesitates. He can see numerous gaping wounds with blood dripping out of Amaro's body.
Amaro screams at Cibor to get his attention saying, "HEY!! IS YOUR HEARING BROKEN?! PATCH ME UP! IM DYING!" Cibor snaps out of his shock at seeing a high-level criminal and replies to Amaro, "I. I know who you are. I.. I'm sorry. I can't help you." While his face is halfway in the dirt, Amaro can be heard laughing. Next, he tells the droid, "What do you mean you can't help me?! You're programmed to do that! You cannot go against your programming! That's how you all were built. So HELP ME!"
Cibor panics. He looks around at his surroundings. He thinks to himself saying, "This is so wrong...but he's responsible for killing so many people...but it wouldn't be right to just let him die..."
While lost in his thoughts of morality. Cibor can hear Amaro yelling at him once again. And to his surprise, Amaro's anger now has a sense of urgency to it. The mad soldier screams to the medic droid telling him, "Hey! Hey! Alright, man, I can't go like this! Look I don't mind dying. I couldn't care less about what I'm leaving here! I just don't wanna die like this! In A DAMN fire where I'll either burn to death or suffocate from the smoke! Just get me out of the way, and I'll gladly bleed to death!85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dDhKFARkn
With a confused look on his face because of the mention of fire, Cibor notices that he hears crackling sounds rip through the air. To his shock, those sounds were from the trees in front of Cibor.
In an instant, Cibor is greeted by a stampede of animals who are escaping the burning area. Cibor is shocked at the wall of burning trees in front of him. The cracking sound echoing through the air was the branches breaking off and hitting the floor.
Unluckily for Amaro, once those burning branches hit the floor, they would burn the ground, spreading the fire and inching their way closer to Amaro. With the flames yards away the mad soldier begins to scream for help once again. Amaro screams, "Hey!" Then, before he could utter a full sentence, Amaro could feel himself being picked up and placed on the shoulders of his rescuer.
Amaro's eyes are shocked as he sees it's Cibor's shoulders he's placed on. Next, the droid begins to run from the flames. Then while he's in motion. Cibor tells Amaro, "I'm saving you from burning to death. I still won't patch you up. Amaro looks at the blood leaking from his body and onto Cibor's shoulder then drips to the floor. Then Amaro tells Cibor, "I'm in no position to argue."
Cibor tells himself, "How in the hell did this forest burn so quickly!?" As Amaro hears this he tells Cibor, "Julius's firestorm gun. It can signal for backup, and Its firepower can melt advanced armor almost instantly. And best of all that's not the end of it. When it's paired with my sword it can burn down an entire city."
With a serious look on his face, Cibor says, "Well, lucky for me, you're in no position to hold a sword." After Cibor says this, an awkward silence fills the air. The silence stops when both Cibor and Amaro hear a whirring sound rip through the sky. Both Cibor and Amaro look and see what's causing the sound, and to Cibor's surprise, it's a high-tech sword. Amaro tells Cibor, "Don't be so sure about that!"
While on Cibor's shoulders, Amaro catches the flying Sword and thrusts the blade into the ground. This sets off a beacon Alerting Julius. And activate a protective forcefield protecting Amaro and Cibor. Cibor screams at the mad soldier telling him, "WHAT DID YOU DO!?"
Amaro smirks then tells Cibor, "Just watch and enjoy the fireworks." Cibor shakes off Amaro but he grips tight onto the sword. Now hunched over the blade, Cibor can see the pommel of Amaro's sword glow an orange light. Then the light begins to blink.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriJLuZAsVP
Moments pass, and nothing happens. Until the force field protecting both Cibor and Amaro is hit by an energy blast from Julius's firestorm gun! The blast caused the orange glow on Amaro's sword to flash red. The force field appears to absorb the firepower that was shot its way. Then, to Cibor's surprise, the force field launches the firestorm blast back out to its surroundings with twice the power.
Shock fills Cibor's eyes as he sees his surroundings burn up in every direction. The force field is hit a couple more times, and the force field launches the attacks back toward the forest, lighting up the surrounding area and making the area burn bigger and brighter with every hit.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey5M2SzxF6

MOMENTS AGO BEFORE Julius's current predicament
Julius and a group of Golden dragons are fighting against a handful of pirates. While in battle Julius hears the same whirring sound rip through the sky. Instantly Julius realizes this is Amaro's sword being called to him. Julius grins when he sees Amaro's sword rip through the sky and enter the forest.

A light on the back of Julius's gun turns on and emits an orange color, it's similar to the orange light that was turned on from Amaro's sword. Julius sees this and a smile instantly comes across his face. Then Julius lets off a series of shots into the burning forest.
From the pirate's eyes, an explosion erupts from within the trees. A commanding pirate screams to their comrades telling them, "It looks like he's got explosives!" Another pirate replies, "And he's setting them off with his gun!" A 3rd pirate then yells back, "His armor is broken. This means he probably can't set them off with its regular control. Let's jump him and take his gun away!"
However, the pirates were wrong about the assumption of explosives being planted in the forest. The pirates were right in focusing on taking Julius's gun away from him.
Minutes after barking the orders out the pirates successfully manage to knock the firestorm gun out of Julius's hands. The invader quickly reaches for it, but a young pirate beats him to the weapon, aims the gun at Julius, and pulls the trigger.
A golden dragon quickly gets in the way of the fire blast, shielding Julius while another dragon pulls him away to safety. Julius tells himself, "Dammit! Sorry, Amaro. Hope the 4 fire blasts against the forcefield from your sword is enough to buy time for your recovery...."
Months ago before the invasion of the pirate lands.
Julius heads out in the daytime looking for Amaro. He finds the soldier near a stream swinging his sword for training. Julius gets Amaro's attention by calling his name. He doesn't hear the first call so he says, "HEY!" Amaro turns and notices Julius. The soldier says, "What is it, boss man?"
Julius replies, "Lost in thought brother?" Amaro says, "Yea...Kind of. It's just been a while since I fought against this many people. The last time I was a leader in a battle this size, I lost most of my men."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt8ZupRp8h
Julius says, "Well lucky for us. Most of our troops for this battle won't be human. Don't worry old friend. I have faith in winning this fight that's ahead of us."
Amaro asks Julius, "Really? Why are you so confident?" Julius tells Amaro, "Even though we're outnumbered, this fight is simply degenerates against some of the greatest minds mankind has seen. The brilliant daughter of the man who invented the modern-day droid, a mastermind in explosions and weaponry. You are the leader of our army, aka the head of the dragon. And the big guy who's probably smarter than all of us combined."
Amaro laughs then says, "Yeah.. That's a pretty tough lineup of people to mess with. I appreciate the pep talk bossman, but I know that's not all you're here for. I don't think there's anything else you can do for me boss. You've kept your word and made me a feared commander of an army again. Gave me an up-to-date suit of armor. Kept me fed, gave me a roof. I've shaken off the nerves and I think I got everything I need bossman."
Julius tosses Amaro a device. He catches it. Julius tells Amaro, "Just put this on the pommel of your sword." Amaro looks at the device. Then, through the use of its advanced tech, Amaro calls his sword to his hand. He screws the device into his sword and then asks, "Alright. So what does this thing do?"

Julius tells Amaro, "It's force field tech. Now before you protest and tell me how all you need is that bloodlust virus that's been coursing through your veins, let me remind you. As a commanding soldier you once said, "It's best to not cut any corners and make sure we dont give the opponent any type of advantage. Well, I just thought since we'll be going against a nation of opponents, we might as well cover the corner of you potentially being overwhelmed and having the bloodlust virus work into its next stages. I remember you telling me of the virus's effects when you push it to the next level and how the individual loses themselves and their humanity every time it's pushed to new limits...Bottom line we've gone too far in this battle to lose anything else. You've been more than a good soldier in this fight Amaro. You've also been a good friend. I can't have the leader of the new army halfway out of his mind after molding an entire planet into his image. You deserve to see this new world with your mind 100% intact."
Amaro takes a moment to think about the words that were said to him. Then he looks at the force field tech in his hand and puts it on the pommel of his sword just as Julius asked. He looks up, shakes Julius's hand, and then tells him, "You've kept your word up to this moment. And everything you said would happen came true, my friend. The celebration at the end of this battle should be epic. I'll do my part in obtaining this victory."
Julius grins and tells Amaro, "So will I my friend. And I'll tell you another thing. I've paired that piece of force field tech to react differently to the blast from my firestorm gun. A blast from any other firearm will simply deflect the shot and leave you protected. But a fireball from this gun could add more time for recovery and protection, if needed of course. But it doesn't end there. What's great for the user is also deadly for his foe. And that's because there's tech within the device I gave you that's gonna pull the firestorm bullets to the forcefield you've activated. The bullets will rip through anything in their way. Once the firestorm bullet hits it's target. The burning trail will end in an explosion caused by the force field. That's because of a thin layer of powerful static electricity that emits from the force field that sets off a trigger within the bullet, then blowing it up."
Julius continues to tell Amaro, "And here's where it gets entertaining. That same veil of static electricity that covers your forcefield will keep the flames of the blown-up bullets in place until you command your sword to activate its energy dispersion technique. I know under normal circumstances, any attacks of energy, such as fire or lightning, can be absorbed and stored by the sword. And eventually unleashed and harnessed by your command. But when you thrust the blade into the ground and activate the forcefield. That same technique will send that powerful wave of static electricity out along with anything that's stuck to the forcefield towards your surrounding environment. And if you're surrounded by enemies, the dispersion of energy will take them out instantly. Giving you much-needed time to gather yourself. However, if you pair this technique with the flames of my firestorm bullets, you'll be granted more than just 'recovery time'; depending on what your enemy is wearing, you'll also get guaranteed elimination.."
Amaro glances at the forcefield tech he placed on his sword then gives a menacing grin. He tells Julius, "Elimination huh? They're not gonna know what hit 'em!" Both Amaro and Julius shake hands."
Back to Amaro and Cibor within the forcefield
Cibor watches in horror as the flames from the firestorm bullets keep attacking the forcefield, providing Amaro with the ammo to shoot its flames toward its surroundings. As more bullets burst onto the protective barrier, Amaro approaches the collapsed soldier, yelling at him and saying, "Hey! WAKE UP! How do we get out of this!?"
From Julius's end of the battlefield85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0yZNHEC70
Julius shoots off a few more shots from his firestorm gun. Then he gets caught unexpectedly from his blindside when a pirate reaches for his gun. He hears the pirate scream, "He's got explosives in the forest!" The pirate grabs Julius' arm and then drives an elbow to his forearm. This causes Julius to drop his gun.
The other pirates kick the weapon away as a few other pirates begin to try and dog-pile Julius. While outnumber. He tells himself, "Hope that was enough to buy you time to recover Amaro. Looks like I'll be needing recovery after this fight...."
Back to Cibor and Amaro in the forcefield.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugW3hkmcNi
Cibor shakes Amaro, yelling at him, saying, "WAKEUP! WHAT DID YOU DO?" The droid leaves Amaro alone and tries to reach for the sword but is shocked by the electricity that strikes him from the pommel. Cibor thinks to himself, "If I turn off the forcefield I'll be doused in flames. I..I guess I'll just wait this out until Supremeo can get me." Unknown to Cibor, Amaro's body begins to heal itself at a rapid pace.
Then as Cibor patiently waits for a rescuer, the droid can hear movement beside him. Fearfully he turns around slowly and sees the mad soldier has risen to his feet by his own will. Cibor is at a loss of words while Amaro isn't.
The mad soldier says, "Hey...Thanks for the help in pulling me away from the fire. You gave a chance for the virus in my system to hurry and heal me before death caught me."
Amaro walks over to Cibor who is by his sword. He places one hand on Cibor and another on his sword. Next, the mad soldier Slowly pulls the blade out from the dirt. Cibor nervously tells Amaro, "He. Hey! What are you doing?" Amaro replies, "Relax. I'm gonna get you outta here."
Cibor is surprised at Amaro's answer and is at a loss for words. Amaro reaches for the guard of the sword, and to Cibor's surprise, the soldier uncoils a cabin hidden within its guard. Amaro then tells Cibor, "This is why this thing is so damn heavy. And why I can only use this weapon to the best of its abilities. This chain made of zhekumium metal allows me to attack enemies from a distance. I can pull them in and strike them with the blade. It's not my style of fighting though. I like to throw blows at my enemies up close, face to face. But that doesn't matter at this moment. Let me tie this around you so I can get you out of here."
Without question, Cibor lets Amaro wrap the chain around his waist and tells him to hold onto the remaining end of the zhekumium chain. Amaro opens up the top of the force field and then tells Cibor, "No better time to face your fears like the present. I remember you, medic droid. You're from the land of Cauchemar. You were the droid who helped the land's inhabitants so much you started giving your own parts on your body away. Even though I am not fully a droid, I understand the sacrifice you made. Which is why I will be sacrificing a piece of my humanity at this moment. My fight with Sullivan pushed the machine virus to the next level. And once I get you out of here, I will be engulfed in these flames, making the virus reach another level surely. With each level I reach, a piece of my human mind gets lost, and I can only obey the program of the virus. So if I don't get to see you again or if I'm not the same as I was. As a fellow native of Cauchemar thanks for pulling me away from the fire and buying me time. And sorry on the landing...but you hesitated, so we're even!" Cibor says, "Huh? What!?!!"
Before Cibor can give a cogent reply, he sees Amaro fling the Sword with all his strength. Cibor is pulled up to the sky at an extreme speed. While on the way out from the sea of burning trees, Amaro shuts off the forcefield, and Cibor Sees the mad soldier vanish behind the flames with a grin on his face.
Cibor is flying through the air at an intense speed. He holds onto the sword's chain tight while looking at the floor. Minutes pass as he flies long past the burning forest. Cibor can feel the sword starting to slow down and lower itself. Cibor turns on the rockets in his boots, but the decision to do this is a moment too late. The sword crashes to the ground, stabbing itself into the dirt, and the chain crashes down, dragging Cibor forward and a pace so fast it knocks him down and out cold.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfTVIXLv5B
