It all happened rather fast in Prompto's opinion. One second everything is deathly silent, she and Noct stared at the four MT units. Then behind them a twig snaps and all hell broke loose. Cinnamon took no changes, he attacked the MT units that came from behind them. Noct's chocobo, Nutmeg, ran forward almost running off, but is stopped by more MT's showing up. Cinnamon starts charging at them all, using his large feet to smash them into the ground. Prompto couldn't tell if they were still alive after that but from the crushing sound she would have to say no.

"Prom!" She hears Noct shout her name but she's too focused on staying on Cinnamon through his rampage to pay attention. When it seems like Cinnamon got the last of them she gets off the chocobo and starts leading him back, or what she thinks is back to Wiz's. Cinnamon was like a kung fu master, turning and turning to get every MT.

"Noct?" She calls softly, not wanting to bring attention to herself. There had been at least ten and Cinnamon got eight so there are at least two left. There might be more but who truly knows. Nutmeg must have run off with Noct still on her back because now she's here alone.

As she continue to walk forward leading Cinnamon who looks to proud of himself, she couldn't help but still feel alert. A bad feeling started to develop in the pit of her stomach as she seem to be going deeper into the forest. She is pulled back by the lead when Cinnamon stops, the birds strength greater than the blondes. He perks his head looking around. Maybe he senses something. Prompto takes a deep breath, calming her heart. Without Noctis here she's defenseless and weaponless so she's on her own. She looks at Cinnamon to see him staring into the forest which doesn't help her much, but it says something is there. She hears the "Zzzts" of a radio trying to find a station. That shouldn't be out here so she turns the opposite of where Cinnamon is staring at to find two pair of red eyes staring at her, at human man height. There are the two MT. She heard rustling, they could be preparing to shoot her or something. She lets go of the lead to Cinnamon and dodges behind a tree. Once in place behind a tree for protection she sees Cinnamon running away. Maybe towards Wiz's?

She takes a chance, not that she has another options. She runs forward towards the direction Cinnamon went into.

"Damn it pick up!" Noctis shouts into his phone. He's been trying to call Ignis but the man is not picking up. Neither is Gladio, which is unusual but not. Those two are alone in the caravan who knows what they are up to (and the prince doesn't want to think about it) and why would they think it's dangerous out here? Noctis doesn't remember any report about MT's still in the area. Which would have been amazing to have heard about. Why are they here? After Aldercapt died, most of the generals recalled all their forces, from everywhere. Guess they didn't or some fell through the cracks. Which is possible but after so many years, why hasn't anyone talked about seeing random MT's? Unless they were hiding. But why? They shouldn't be afraid of death, they are mindless machines. Being ordered to hide makes more sense, but who? He heard, hell everyone has, that Niflheim was too busy with their civil war, and now they are dealing with post war. Trying to get things back in order. And after the civil war they had it's understandable.

Whatever the reason the fact remains, there are MT's here.

"Prompto!" Noctis shouts giving up on his phone, running like a maniac trying to find the blonde. Warping here and there trying to find her. Nutmeg had just run off, scared shitless, if he were to guess she's got an egg about to be laid. He warped off her. But once he got back to where they first saw the MT's, he saw the bodies but no bird or blonde. "Prompto!" He shouts again running wild. He doesn't have much to worry about, Cinnamon seems to be very good a protecting but knowing the blonde something will happen. She is the luckiest unlucky person on all of Eos.

His breath catches in his throat. Nutmeg and Cinnamon standing with each other, rubbing their faces together. Where is Prompto? Together the chocobos run off, to Wiz's but he doesn't care. Where is Prompto?

Now more desperate than before Noct runs. Shouting the blondes name at the top of his lungs. He may sound crazy, may even look it but that doesn't matter not until he finds her.

He catches something blonde in the distance and runs towards it. As he gets closer he spots Prompto being surrounded by MT's. More of them. Where are they coming from? "Prompto!" He shouts summoning his engine blade and slicing one of them in half, making his way into the circle of MT's. He summons a revolver and tosses it to her. "Here." She catches it.

Not having to be told what to do she starts shooting. All lethal shots, chest or head. Once the last one is down, Prompto takes a breather. Noct walks to check if she's okay. Engine blade disappearing in a glimmer of blue. Once the prince is within arms reach she hands the revolver back. Noctis takes it, it shimmering in blue as it disappears too. "That was shocking." She says wiping away some sweat from her chin. Noctis grabs her face and moves it. Inspecting her. "Noct?" She asks as her face is sandwiched between his hands.

"Are you okay?" He asks worried.

"Yeah, they didn't hurt me. Which is odd but I'm not complaining." Prompto says. Noct lets her go, embarrassed, hands pulled back as if he touched Ifrits fire.

"That's good." Noct says face turning pink slightly.

"We should hurry back to inform Ignis. He'd want to know about this." The blonde says. Noct nods, taking her hand and leading them both back to Wiz's. Noct takes his phone out again, trying to call Ignis one more time.

He doesn't answer so he decides to leave a voicemail this time, since he's not worried about finding the blonde at the moment. "Ignis hurry and call me back. Prom and I are on our way back we meet a group of-" Noctis is interrupted by Prompto pulling him down.

"Ah!" She screams. Noct looks to see an MT tackle her. Sweaty from their fight their hands slip out of each other.

"Prom!" Noct shouts as he gets to his feet. He summons his blade again, charging at the MT, slicing it's body in half. He turns to help Prompto up to her feet but a bullet goes right by his head. He turns to see a group of armed MTs standing there and pointing their firearm at him. Noct jumps out the way of their firing. Remembering he wasn't alone he looks to see Prom in the fetal position but safe. With them not shooting she looks up, their eyes meeting, and Noct's heart tighten at the look in her expressive eyes. She's scared. He can make a list of why she should be, the top being weaponless. Even just a combat knife would be handy at the moment. Noct sees one of the MT's fall over the one he destroyed earlier. It falls on top of Prompto. After a shocking second, she kicks it off of her and scrambles to her feet but the thing grabs onto her ankle causing her to fall face first. Two more MT's join the one on the floor as it gets up. It roughly drags her closer.

"Ahh!" Prompto screams like no one's ever heard before, the MT's aren't gentle, specially not with those claws they have for hands, metal claws of their armor. "Arg! GET OFF!" She shouts as she tries to struggle out of their hands.

Noct warps to them, doing something he's never done before. He summons Gladios greatsword. He needed something bigger than his engine blade. It wasn't made for him that's for sure but he needed something with a bigger radius as he swung it. Getting all three of the MT's in one swing. Then he summons Gladio's shield. Getting in front of Prompto, standing in between her and the MT's. As hard as he can he shoves the shield into the dirt to stand up. When he turns he's horrified by what he finds. Her back is all cut up and bleeding. Her arm has deep scratches. "Prompto come on, we need to move." He says, no way is he fighting while she's here bleeding.

"C-Can't... leg." She mumbles into the ground, hand fisting the dirt in pain. Noct looks down to see her leg is just as bad as her back. Noct grits his teeth. He knows they have potions and elixirs but he can't just use them on her. He doesn't know how bad the damage is, if it's bad there could be some bad side effects. Like using a potion while someone's bone is broken, the muscle and tendons around the break will heal but not the break itself. The person would be stuck with a broken bone even if the wound is healed. Plus potions (and elixirs) only heal 50%, meaning depending on how bad it is the potion will only heal half of the damage not all of it. Unless they have Hi-potions, and he doesn't know if they have that.

"Sorry, but this might hurt." He warns her, giving her a second before he grabs her arms. Moving her as gently as he can to have her on his back. Once her arms are on over his shoulder he moves his hands to hold her legs up. "Hold tight." He says, knowing she's biting her lips to not cry but he can still hear her holding it back. Noct takes a look to see the MT's fanning out to get around the large shield. He warps forward, that being his last warp as he's almost at stasis. The shield disappears. When his feet land on the ground he breaks into a run. He wasn't the least bit steady in his run so every jostle and jerk sent pain to Prompto.

He needed to hurry back.
