So many reviews so quickly after uploading, a lot of follows and faves. I am glad to see that all of you enjoy my story, and with my recent graduation from high school. I can finally focus on my writing! So I can promise more updates whenever I can manage them.

Disclaimer: I don't own FoZ or PA-Titans, I do have a copy of the latter however.

Chapter 2- Tech of War, the Nanolathe Explained.

The students all remained silent as the giant machine stood above them. They tried to take it in, the golem was the largest ever seen, being so large that the trees would seem to just barely even reach its waist. The other big attention getter was the Commander's two glowing arms. One glowed an ominous red, and students seemed to appear slightly worried at the sight.

While the other glowed bright green, and from what they saw earlier, could create. Suddenly, the machine's optics lit up and it began to move, everyone ducked or readied their wands. Relaxing when the machine turned towards a spot where its extensive yet unnoticed scans marked a metal deposit. The green arm began to brightly glow, before spraying a strange light blue fluid into the air. Everyone gained looks of awe on their faces, as the strange fluid began to form a frame in the air before gradually filling it in, the glowing object becoming a large tower that, upon completion, roared to life as it began to rise, before suddenly slamming back down with a thunderous boom.

As the tower began to start its job. The giant then turned towards a large area and began to march in that direction. The whole of the students present, watched as the machine began to spray this fluid again, this time forming a much larger structure, this one much different than the other two, as when it powered up, it seemed to utilize the same fluid in piecing together something of a similar shape to the giant that loomed nearby.

when the large structure finished its task, large platforms seemed to extend from the structure, as the smaller, yet still large machine marched down from the platform, and over to where the first alien structure rested. The machine then, like the larger one, began to create more of these generators. At this point, the students had gone inside to get their rest for tomorrow.

The only question, in Louise's case though... is how she would bond with a machine that trees only reached the knees of.

-Next morning-

Louise had a dream that night, one of the likes that no one would ever experience. in her dream, she was seeing from the eyes of the massive machine, there were several other machines of the same make of all different colors all around her, each one loading into a strange transport to take off to who knows where. She saw a giant structure, the machine a flurry of activity as it created the machines.

but there were questions raised as well, one stood out above the rest, what was the material used to piece these...commanders...together? She had never seen anything like it. From what she could tell, it was some sort of liquid metal that solidified when sprayed in a certain way. She would have to think on this more, it's possible that she could get the commander to answer her question, speaking of which...

"GAAAH!" she jumped, startled upon spotting two solid red eyes staring into her window. "S-stupid familiar! Don't do that!" she scolded the machine, doubtful that it would be fazed from being told off anyway. "Contractor, it is 07:27. You should head down for breakfast and then report to your educational facilities." Delta said in his rather loud voice, causing Louise to cover her ears slightly due to the sound being amplified from the enclosed space.

"There aren't any classes today as we bond with our familiars." she told him. "I have plenty of questions to ask however." she said. Delta nodded and backed from the window. "Eat first. Then I will explain everything you wish to know." he responded. Before turning and thundering off towards the base he had started to build the day before.

Legionis Base, 07:45

When Louise got to where her familiar was, surprised would be an understatement about what she saw. Unlike the day before when he first landed, there were several buildings now...massive ones. The largest seemed to be actively piecing together smaller bots that, upon walking off the platform, began to scatter to the far edges of the designated perimeter.

One such machine walked up in front of her, this one looked like a smaller version of her familiar, but the Laser cannon and green arm were replaced by two strange arms that seemed to have gun barrels protrude from them. "Greetings" it said. "I am Dox 013. I have been instructed to teach you about what we are, and to answer any questions you have as to how we operate." it said.

Louise nodded, she had to think about what to ask first, there were so many questions, and only a day before classes started back. "OK, I think I have my first question now." she said, when the Dox didn't make a move, she continued. "What is Nanolathe?" she asked, the Dox's eyes lit up. "Excellent question, contractor. Please, follow me." it stated, before marching off towards the large structure where more of its kind were being built.

When they arrived, the small bot swiveled its top half around to face her and looked down at her. "This is a factory, contractor. One such structure that uses Nanolathe." it said. "I will keep this simple so that you can understand. Nanolathe is a fluid material that Father and Brothers use to construct these buildings, such as the factory here." it droned, stopping to let the information sink in. "Nanolathe can also be used to build units, such as myself. However there are four units who are much too large to build on a factory, and as such, must be built alone, however they require more resources."

He paused again. "These resources are what the spire and box structures are for. Being Metal Extractors, or Mexes, and Energy Generators respectively. These are the economy structures, and are very important, without them. The Nanolathing process is extremely slow, even with just the Commander's reactor keeping the flow going." it said, then swiveled to look at the sky. "I should also warn you, that should a build arm break and Nanolathe winds up spilled. Make sure no one makes any attempt to clean it up. From what Father tells us, it is extremely toxic to organic tissue, in such a way that it will break you down into raw materials that will then raise our energy reserves." It said, this warning made Louise shudder, though the machine couldn't see it.

"There is one eco structure we can fabricate should there be any gas giants in this system, called Jigs. This is the most efficient structure. Combine these with a large mass of builder units, and you'll be able to lathe together a planet-wide base faster than your enemy can take it down." it finished, then turned back to her. "Are there any more questions, contractor?" it asked, and this made Louise think for a moment.

"How many types of units are there?" she asked. The Dox took its eye off her to process this. "Unfortunately, I cannot count that as I am only a Bot type unit. You will have to ask Delta." he responded. "Wait here, I shall fetch him for you." it said, before turning and marching off. Louise sat where she stood and sighed.

This was going to be a loooong day of questions, indeed. Then she thought about something.
If what the Dox said was true, and Delta turned on them, he could take the whole planet over in a matter of hours.

But he wouldn't would he? Would HE?!

End.

A/N: for those who are wondering, I will be having the units call Delta 'Father' or call other units 'brother.' This is because I feel that there's some sort of connection between each unit that functions like that of a sibling bond, with a parent bond to the commander.

Also, no there won't be a duel with Guiche, that would be both destructive and terribly one-sided in Delta's favor, also, there will eventually be a Titan, not gonna say which type though, but there are five types, so I'll leave the guessing to you.

And I'm sorry if all of the information given by the Dox gave anyone a headache, I actually got one just typing it...buuuut anyway.
