Imagine Lira and Michele standing in a field, just watching Duel-GX and Golem stand a few feet away. The two giants just stand there, facing each other and not really moving. "So..." Lira whispers, "how long have they been standing here now?""About twenty minutes," Michele replies, unconsciously rubbing her ax edges together like she usually does. "Oy, Crab! Are you done with your staring contest yet?!"The dark machine, surprisingly, still doesn't answer. "Golem!" the half-demon calls. No answer. "Strange... He's never ignored a call before.""Neither has Crab. They both LOOK awake or active or whatever, though.""..." The Earthy rock giant, standing taller than Duel-GX, looks like a statue, unwavering in motion. "..." The mechanical figure is looking upwards slightly, a sign that it's not in sleep mode."At this point I can't tell if they're having a secret staring contest or what," Michele scoffs."But... They don't have eyelids." The half-blood pointed to the giants. "True, true. Maybe they're speaking with telepathy or something.""... Robots can use telepathy?""I don't freakin' know! But what I do know is that we have some training to do! Crab! Answer already!"There were a few more moments of silence, before Golem suddenly rears its arm back slowly. "W-What's it doing?!" Michele asks. Suddenly, Duel-GX snaps out of what was probably a trance as well, rearing its gun-arms back as well before jutting them out. "Golem, cease that attack!" Lira orders. However, the order does not seem to affect it, and it brings its fist closer to Duel-GX, whose arms are still jut out."Crab! Don't shoot it!" Michele yelled. Thump. Golem's fist lightly bumps Duel-GX's right gun-arm. It then retracts its rocky hand and turns its head to face the two girls, as does Duel-GX. "COMMUNICATION ESTABLISHED," the crab-like robot beeps. "REGISTERED UNIT NO. 419 AS 'ALLY.'""So, they actually WERE talking?" Lira asks. "Indeed," Golem rumbles."How did you...?""Ugh, never mind that!" the axe girl snapped. "Crab, we've wasted enough time! The next town'd be in our sights by now!""MY APOLOGIES, MICHELE.""We must be on our way as well," Lira says as Golem lowers it's hand for her to climb on. "It was nice to meet you, Michele.""Nice to meetcha too," Michele half-heartedly replies as she jumps onto her mechanical friend's head. "See ya 'round. Probably.""Fare well on your journey," Golem nods. Duel-GX simply beeps in reply as the two pairs go separate ways.
