After a few minutes of idly talk the Commander bid his farewells, they had repaired the City's drone system which was already setting up a Star Drive. "We'll be able to remove the City within a few hours." Archon announced, running hundreds of calculations in his head.
The world is a mess..and I just need to..rule it.

Iroku scowls and heads back down into the planet itself, shaking his head at the others as he plants the sapling he'd been holding onto. "Teck men never listen to shaman. Nooo, shaman never know what he talk about.Stupid tin-man, stupid robot. Teck not go against nature? Feh. Robot knows nothing. Ark-on knows nothing. Kids too young to understand. Fine. We'll teach them." He mumbles, sinking back into the surface of the actual planet once again, Koraiten looking back up towards Rev and Gen.
Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.

The two child incarnations looked at Archon when both Iroku and the Mechera had left. They looked a bit confused as they tried to absorb everything that just happened. It seemed their role-models weren't agreeing, and they couldn't figure out why.

"Iroku seems to hate tech...even though we've learned it can be used for many good things.." Gen commented.

"But, The Commander, those metal guys, and this place, they've all shown the good.. "Rev commented as well. "Yet, only Archon seems to worry about the Planet. "

"Iroku has a point of the planet. But they have a point with the tech...so who's right?" Gen asked.

"And who's wrong?" Rev asked as well. Both the children looking at Archon as they wondered in Unison.

"In a way they are both wrong, and both right. Iroku hates technology because he views it as unnatural and how it can stunt the growth of natural development. But even then technology can do wondrous things, but it can also be used for terrible things. Like the planet below suffered for years without plants or animals, or even the touch of sunlight because of technology. It's a double edged sword children, and it's always best to go with both magic and technology, that's one of the things that made the Suvian so great, they didn't limit themselves to a single thing, they grew in both areas. Technology could be found that supported magic, and Magic could be found that supported technology." Archon replied, looking the two children in their mirrored eyes. "Also in a way, I'm nothing more then Technology, I'm an artificial mind."

Iroku, growling in the dark, closes his eyes as the armor symbiote grows to cover his entire body, head to toe. His feet come together, bottoms touching as his hands fold before his chest in an arcane pose. "Korei Karentao. Noch Kensech. Terra rozess arien taroech." He chants, over and over and over again as he meditates deep within the planet, the symbiote protecting his body from the larger gravitational forces and the high pressure.

Above the City, a large portal opens up, letting a massive crystalline snake coils above, watching the city with curiosity.

"Then you're like us!" Rev and Gen both said together in excited unison. They knew from before that Archon used tech, but they didn't know he was only made of tech. This new revelation gave them something to relate to, with the being that had become their next teacher. They now had the one they could trust the most.

"We're just magic." Rev said.

"Two powerful types of magic, but still just magic." Gen added. "Though we can think."

"And we can learn."

"As well as feel, and make decisions." Gen paused for a moment after saying the word decisions. "I think... the people call it ...Free Will?"

"The magic is our being..." The two together said, once again. "But from learning what we've learned... we've become fascinated with the world around us... And if these people did as you said and showed the good of both, then maybe we can continue their legacy, and help our new found friends to get along. Iroku seemed to really hate The Commander... but The Commander helped us, and saved the planet, the thing Iroku wanted... Is there anything we can do?" The two incarnations paused to look at one another, thinking hard.

Koraiten, rising quite literally through the floor, opens his mouth to   convey Iroku's voice. "Commander offer to save planet forcefully, rather   than let planet take itself back. Most healthy choice for planet be to   let planet take city, turn city into new crust. New soil, for new life   to sprout from. Planet no just make new crust from nothing. Take city   off, planet be dead. Commander not care about that, just like he no care   about New Dragon Moon enough to find a better way. Tin-man say he sorry, but Iroku no trust person who kill whole planet to find one man."

The two incarnations looked to Koraiten and listened to Iroku's words rather intently. They nodded in agreement as they understood what he was saying, but both were right, so then what?

"But Archon's part of the city." Rev replied. "Wouldn't he die if the planet took its self back?"

"At least this way, both are saved, aren't they?" Gen asked.

Both of the children then stood silent and still for about a second, as the message from Zaned had reached them. Their expressions then grew curious as they read it, looking also partly confused.

"Third Sage War?" They inquired in unison.

"I think I remember something about a first and second in the history The Archive showed us." Gen said. "Something about magic empires going up against... technological empires. So everyone other than Iroku and The Commander also fight about such?"

"Then maybe we can get the answers there." Rev agreed. "We can find out which ones more wrong or right. Learn more about both. Find out why each one has a problem with the other."
Rev and Gen then looked at Koraiten and Archon, as if waiting for an 'okay,' before actually going.

Iroku, returning up from the planet's surface, looks at the two kids as he replays the message in his head. "Aralang cause trouble for Celly. Aralang not like when planet under feet turn to enemy." He growls, before vanishing in a flurry of wind.

With the sudden disappearance of Iroku, the two kids now knew it MUST be important. They didn't know who Aralangs or Celly were, or they did, but that information didn't sound familiar yet to them. But by the reactions, the two had managed to pickup that it was quite important.

"We'll also attend." Both said. "Thank you for everything Archon. We'll definitely return to oversee the planet being saved."
With that, both had disappeared.
