"Yeah, we already know about the Brain; we have for a while now." Hydro says.
"But the only problem is, we don't know where it is." Sage follows up.
"I do," Lightning states flatly, "and now, obviously, it has learned how to make stitch punks."
"We need to destroy it before it destroys us!" Steel exclaims.
"No. If we go right now, we might be unprepared." Boulder reasons.
"Maybe we should just leave and forget about it all, you know? Outa' sight, outa' mind." Blaze says earning an incredulous look from everyone, "What? All I'm sayin' is that it's an option!"
"I think we should let our leader decide what we should do." Ty says glancing at me along with everyone else.
"Steel, Boulder, your both right, we do need to destroy it, but we also need to be prepared." I say after making up my mind, "Me and Lightning will go scout out the Brains 'territory' and see how it looks tonight. Also, I think that no one should leave the base alone; if you do leave, go in groups of two and take your dragons with you."
"Fair enough." Blaze says earning nods of agreement from everyone else.
Little did they know that they were being observed by a lone pair of Stitch punks.
"I think we should join them now." One stitch punk whispers to her companion.
"Not yet, Nova, we don't know if we can trust them yet." The other responds.
"Proto, we can't keep living in fear." The stitch punk who was revealed to be Nova said.
"I know; I just…" Proto responds, trailing off.
High above the surface of the planet a large craft lay hidden in a debris field. Inside the craft was being controlled by strange, alien beings.
"When shall we move in to retrieve the artifact, Ship Master?" one of the beings asks another being with a strange symbol on its shoulder.
"Soon, first I wish to see how these 'Stitch Punks' handle the 'Brain'." The other responds.
"Very well, Ship Master." The first responds as it turns and leaves the room.
After the meeting, I return to my room, after I close the door, I remove my energy sword from my waist and place it in the charging
port that is hooked up to the wall. As I hook it up, I hear a tentive knock on my door.
"Come in." I call over my shoulder. As I check that my energy sword is charging, I hear the door open and close. After I'm sure it is successfully hooked up, I turn around to find Steel standing next to my bed, looking at her feet.
"Hey, Thunder." She says softly.
"Hey, sis." I say happily before continuing more hesitantly, "What's wrong?"
"Boulder told me how you, Blaze, and Ty fought all those machines to save me;" she says as she sits down on the edge of my bed, "and, I guess I wanted to say thanks."
"Don't mention it; I'd still save you if I had to fight a hundred machines, all by myself. We're family, and family sticks together." I tell her, "Plus, you're my little sister, it's my job to protect you."
"Thanks Bro." she says to me looking slightly happier, before tackling me in a quick hug before leaving me to my thoughts.
