Psycho sat in the dark, bathed in the cold white glow of his monitors. "Those fools!" he said to himself, as people very often do when they are alone, "They should know better than to think that I, an antisocial fool, would actually show my face in battle!" He shut off the android he had built in his likeness. It went limp and crashed to who_am_i's feet, confusing him greatly. Having a likeness of himself cavorting about always disturbed Psycho, so he always shut them down whenever they served their purposes. "Still, I had no idea the cheese was a decoy... this Fluff Puff is not one to be trifled with..." Psycho thought on this for a while, then got a fantastic idea. He tapped at his console. Deep within his manufacturing plant, gears ground as conduits aligned, dispensing four of his robots outside the compound. They immediately sped off to achieve their programmed goal. Meanwhile, at the Southern Tunnel System, Fluff Puff faced off against the Guardian Trolls (level: 560). They were besting her easily, Fluff Puff just barely able to dodge the swings of their clubs and blows of their fists. Her robotic feline companion cowered helplessly in the corner. Every time Fluff Puff made a move towards her kitty, the trolls pushed her back. The situation seemed hopeless, when suddenly Psycho's robots ran into the tunnel system. They leaped onto the trolls and slashed at their flesh with their scorpion-like tails tipped with vicious curved blades. It wasn't long before all the trolls lay dead on the floor of the tunnels. Fluff Puff's robot kitty ran over to her and cowered behind her, terrified of her menacing cousins. The robots advanced on Fluff Puff, cornering and surrounding her. Fluff Puff thought for sure she was a goner, but then one of the robots' head flipped back, revealing a screen upon which Psycho's dimly lit visage appeared. "You and I both want the same thing, Emily..." he said, pausing for effect, "...the cheese. You're a brilliant tactician, and I have a near limitless army of robot warriors. If we teamed up, there's nothing anyone could do to stop us! What do you say?!" "Ha!" Fluff Puff shot back, "Its not like I have a choice do I? If I say no, your robots will kill me!" "No, no," said Psycho, shaking his head, which also shook his robot's head in what Fluff Puff agreed was a nice touch, "this is a business proposal, not a threat." His robots backed away and assumed a less threatening pose. "Well how can I trust you?" demanded Fluff Puff. "I'm not a bad person you know..." Psycho said, "I've just been forced to do bad things by circumstance." "Prove it!" Psycho's robot reached for Fluff Puff's kitty and lifted it in the air, displaying the logo stamped on its stomach. It was the logo of Psycho Robot industries. Fluff Puff was shocked. "But that man in Untopia made that! I bought it from him!" "I have no idea who you're talking about, but clearly I made this robot." His robot lowered kitty to the ground who returned to Fluff Puff. "This is the primary export of Psycho Robot industries. Its only now that there's such a terrible power loose in the world that I've begun making war robots, and its only with the best intentions that I use them. This cheese cannot fall into unworthy hands, and you and I can stop that from happening." Fluff Puff crossed her arms. "Fine. But I want to use the cheese a little bit before you take it away." "Its a deal," Psycho said, "So where is the cheese now? I thought I knew but as it so happens, that was... one of your decoys." "Danno has it now. He made me give it to him to find out where Kitty was." She pouted as she realised that Danno knew she would be killed by the trolls anyways. "Ok. We'll go get it now. Hop on." said Psycho, whose robot lowered to the ground again. Fluff Puff climbed onto the robot and held on tight. It rocketed off through the tunnel system and the surrounding forest until they arrived at Danno's campsite. They lurked in the shadows as Fluff Puff whispered her tactical ideas to the robot, which Psycho picked up on and relayed as orders to his robots. All the pieces in place, the two sprung their trap. A squad of Psycho's robots leaped out of the brush, surrounding Danno. He immediately hopped on Neysa who turned into a phoenix and flew into the air. Exactly as planned. As Neysa took off, they were surrounded by dozens of Psycho's helicopter robots. They scorched the air around Danno and Neysa with constant laser cannon fire, scoring several direct hits on Neysa. She tumbled through the air, ashes streaming behind her. Her body was completely turned to ashes and the tiny chick landed on the ground, followed shortly by Danno. They were immediately surrounded by robots, both on the ground and in the air. Danno, seeing no other way to save Neysa, surrendered the cheese. One of the robots snatched it and tucked it in its chest compartment, sealing it tight. They all tore off through the woods, including the one Fluff Puff was mounting, leaving her on the ground. Fluff Puff cursed the sky as Psycho's robots disappeared into the forest.
