Neverending battle

[powerofpink]

Marvelous, right? I've got a question--one that might be important to the future of my world.

Does this look familiar to you? This battle? Because I think I might have 14 years to avert another massive invasion of my planet.

Transformation powers and access to giant robots.

[elloran]

What are these "robots" you speak of?

[powerofpink]

Well, for us, they were giant, mystical beasts with elemental powers. But with the help of a specific weapon, they can take on a mechanical form, which lets them fight more effectively and combine into a single, larger, humanoid mechanical creature that's a better fighter against the monsters that are sent against us.

[elloran]

That seems rather inefficient.

[powerofpink]

It actually works pretty well, since it draws off our own powers and unites them.

[elloran]

That requires super-human powers, yes? So normal people would be unable to defend your homeworld?

[powerofpink]

Our weaponry's okay, but it can only do so much. Blaster shots don't always penetrate the enemies' armor or hides.

[elloran]

It sounds as if you need stronger allies.

[powerofpink]

That's what we're working on, but everyone's still shaken up from the war a year ago. There's a lot of scrambling to regain power on both sides.

[elloran]

Wars in your galaxy seem so...muddled, forgive me for saying.

[powerofpink]

No need to apologize. That's pretty much it.

[elloran]

Perhaps if you become the dominant species, you will be able to do better.

[powerofpink]

Well, we're giving it our best shot.

[elloran]

Good luck.

[powerofpink]

Thanks.
