Only a nanosecond passed before they all laughed. "No way! You loser humans have a Wind AEP ambassador. You can keep them. Magnetic Clan is not going to be in an alliance with you." one of their AEP units said. "So, we will still be allies with the Wind Clan then. That's nice." "Look forward to working with you." Mason said, now put at ease. "I doubt it." 06-002 said. "That's all we wanted to say. We're going to be leaving now." 06-003 declared as they began walking towards the exit. Once they were gone, I looked at the members of Magnetic Clan. "Aren't you leaving now too?" I asked. They did not answer. That put me back into alarm mood. The AEP unit with earrings said "We have something else to talk about. How about you take us to your clan building." He did not seem to be asking a question. This was a big demand. I sighed and said "I think only the PEA units of the area are in the clan building right now. There really isn't anything worth mentioning aside from that." There was a scoff. I looked at him. "Don't be modest. You have a big trading hub and dojo to show off." he said.
That was certainly true. They had a man on the inside after all. 06-001 was probably feeding them all sorts of information. Mason said "We can show you, but you have to be on your best behavior." I just cringed. He was trying to get the upper hand, but he had no way to back it up. Surprisingly, the one with the blue shirt said "Sure. Why not? We will be very good. Let's go." Mason puffed out his chest and led the way. Having 3 of them mucking about was much better than 5 of them. We led them over to the lounge. Mason was in the lead and he opened the door to the secret elevator. We went down together. The first stop was the main hall. They looked around. It was probably much grander than anything they had seen. The X-frames were all visible in their tanks. As we were looking around, we got a notification that we were getting a notification of something. I looked at Mason and told him to go check it out. "We'll be at the trading post." I said. He nodded and jogged down the hall. I took the others to the trading post. That is when they all pulled their guns on me. I just rolled my eyes at them.
Now that I was here, I sighed out loud. "What are you doing!? Didn't 12-001 tell you what happened the last time they tried coming for us?" They frowned. "You cheated and stole his organ from him. We're not going to let you do that to us." the shirtless one said. "We're going to take it back!" the one with the jacket said as he pointed at me. The one with the blue shirt just looked resolutely at me. "Let me guess, you all have different powers than he did?" I said. They looked upset. "Who told you that!? I know 06-001 did not tell you!" the shirtless one demanded. I shrugged. "It doesn't matter. You can't take us all on alone." the one with the blue shirt remarked calmly. He did not look like he was too invested in this ambush. I looked at him. "Why are you here? You look like you'd rather not attack." He sighed. "I do want to kill you. It's just that..." he trailed off. "3 on 1 isn't fun. If I knew half of you would be out on a trip today, I'd go to the Heat Clan base." He smirked. That did not sound too good. The one in the jacket just laughed out loud. "That's so true!" he said as he pat him on the shoulder.
Something was going on. I did not want to waste time on this. "12-001 and our PEA units are probably having lots of fun fighting those humans." he added. I just had to sigh again. "So Magnetic Clan is going for all out war on Heat Clan now? That is not smart. Just because of us humans being here in a clan!?" "Of course! We'll never accept humans as part of our group!" the shirtless one snapped. I took a step back to get some distance. I was then forced to the floor. The one with the jacket had his arms outstretched to me. "I'm glad these floors are metallic. My organ would never work so well." he said. That was going to be a problem. I would not be able to use any punches or kicks. That meant that I was going to have to use magic. I looked at them and tried to move my arms. I was not able too. There was a bit of metal in my clothes, but this was ridiculous. I did not even have any implants. I said "You guys asked for it." They seemed to dismiss me. "You hold him there. I'll go find the runt." the one that had a blue shirt said very coldly as he began to leave us in the large trading center.
