Huntor rode his pet robotic animal Snorkdro into Overlord Mandark's territory. The hunter kept his eyes to the sky looking for Mandark's forces. A few minutes later a dozen large hovering robots came flying down from the sky and surrounded Huntor and Snorkdro. The robots were black with M shaped heads, piercing yellow eyes, a powerful looking laser for a lefthand, and a fierce looking clawed righthand.
"By order of the Overlord state your name and business." Said one of the robots.
"I am Huntor a bounty hunter. I seek an audience with your master, so I may deliver some valuable information regarding two dangerous fugitives that may pose a threat to his empire." Said Huntor.
The robots stared at Huntor for a few seconds before one of them spoke.
"We shall escort you to our master's lair."
Huntor nodded in thanks and the little group headed out.
Miles away Jack and the Scotsman had come across what appeared to be a village. The village was an odd sight with buildings that appeared to be made of piles of mud lumped together. The villages were humans wearing odd clothes made of patched up rags. Jack and the Scotsman watched as the villages did a bunch of strange things. One villager was wearing hammers for shoes, while one was clumsily hammer a nail on a poorly made structure using a shoe as a hammer. A man was pulling a wagon with square wheels, while another man carried a horse on his back. A woman made a normal looking bed then went to go to sleep on a pile of broken glass.
"This place is very strange." Said Jack.
"Aye I'm with you there. These people seem to be a few eggs short of a basket." Said the Scotsman.
The two then came across a group of villagers gathered around a small bundle of sticks. One man was on his hands and knees speaking to the sticks.
"Come on out fire. Come on out."
"What are you doing?" Asked Jack.
"We're trying make fire come out of wood." Said the man.
Jack and the Scotsman exchanged looks. Jack let out a sigh as he gently pushed the man away from the sticks. He then gabbed a couple of the sticks and began to rub them together. The wood began to heat up and spark and then a fire began to rise up from the sticks. The villagers stared at the fire in dumbfounded shock and then they began to cheer and praise the stranger who made the fire appear. The little celebration was short lived however as a laser blast came from the sky, hit the fire, and extinguished the flames. Everyone looked up to see a bunch of robots floating above the village.
"By order of the Overlord, all science is prohibited. The creation of fire is a punishable offense." Boomed one of the robots.
"It's the Overlord's machine men!" Cried one of the villages before he and the other villagers fled in terror.
Jack and the Scotsman pulled out their swords and faced the robots. Off in the distance a large hightech motorcycle with tank treads on raced towards the village. It's rider was a large man ready to do battle.
