As soon as Blake and his group appeared a group of humans walked forward. Each one seemed to have some kind of cybernetic advancement. "Yonduli fenfo!"
"I have no idea what he is saying." Blake sighed. He raised his hand and said: "Do you have something to translate our languages? Sadly magic is not able to translate your language."
The man in the front with half a skull made of metal stared at Blake for a moment before waving his hand. The group of soldiers or guards, each carrying some type of gun parted as a young woman with cybernetic eyes slowly stepped forward. She wore silver armor like the others but seemed more poised and proper. She looked at Blake and the others in the sky. "Intruders on this land…."
"Sorry, but we are not intruders." Blake interrupted. "You may not have realized it but you have moved a chunk of your land to a whole new world."
The girl's eyes opened wide before turning to the man with the half metal skull and began speaking in their native tongue. After a few minutes, she turned back to Blake and asked: "Can you tell us where we are?"
"You are on Earth. Well, what is going to be left of it. You see, this world is currently under siege by beings of the underworld." Blake waved his hand and images appeared in the sky, startling the people below. They raised their weapons and aimed them at Blake, but the young woman quickly raised her hands and spoke in her tongue. Only then did the soldiers lower their weapons again.
"These images, are they real?" The girl asked.
"Sadly, yes. This world has been through a lot in the past few years. If you had come about ten years earlier, you would have been met with a world filled with only science and technology. Much less advanced than your own. But now it is a world filled with magic and science, which has sped up technology due to the abundant power source. Me and my people came because we discovered a new island popping up. We wanted to make friends and warn you about what is happening." As Blake said this, he pressed a button on his air bike causing it to shrink and fold up until it could fit in the palm of his hand. He put it in his pocket while still standing in the air. Bret and the others did the same.
Seeing the beings before them standing in the air like it was nothing caused restlessness within the people below. They all went on guard, not wanting to let the newcomers get a chance to pull a fast one on them.
But Blake only smiled as he gave a slight bow. "My name is Blake, I am the ruler of Destiny City. I would like to speak with someone of status in hopes of improving relations between my people and yours."
Bret almost died of laughter seeing Blake being so formal. But he knew now was not the time, so he did his best not to let it show. But if one looked carefully, one would see Bret's lips twitching like crazy.
The girl was taken aback while the man with the half metal skull was whispering something. The girl turned and seemed to be chastising him before turning back to Blake with blushed cheeks and said: "I am Princess Danaphine. Princess of the Frinchia royal family. If you are willing, you can follow me, and we can sit down and have a talk."
"Sounds good." Blake sighed. He did not even need to turn around to throw an elbow behind him. Bret, who was about to tease Blake, quickly blocked his stomach and was sent back a few steps. A small giggle came from in front of them as Princess Danaphine smiled at the two.
The forest was not made of normal looking trees. The trees themselves were made up of cybernetic materials from the looks of it. The thin lines of light green and blue brightened in parts that showed some kind of strange flow about them.
"Curious?" Princess Danaphine asked.
"Mmm… They do not seem to be real trees." He was curious about more than just the trees, like how Princess Danaphine was able to understand their language. He wondered if it was some kind of translation method using A.I. or some other method.
"They are not real per se. They are planted using a cyberseed. While they might not be natrual trees, they do the same job as a normal tree. All the plants on this land are grown in the same way. The lights pulsating through the lines engraved into them show the health of the tree. Green means it is healthy, while blue means it is starting to grow too old. Yellow means sickness, and red means the tree or plant is nearing death. While these trees might not last as long as real ones, they grow much quicker and can reach a mature state in a matter of days while producing the same effects as ten trees." Princess Danaphine explained.
"I see. This is quite interesting. If I had to guess, your original world must have been mostly all city?" Blake was really starting to grow more and more interested in the culture of Princess Danaphines world. Their technology might help this world after they somehow push back the devils.
"Mmm… Only a few megacities but you see, like any world, we also had wars and weapons that could destroy large areas of land. When the wars were over, all that was left was barren lands. In order to allow our world to survive, we came up with ways to have new trees and plants to grow. That is where cyberseeds came in. They were what saved our world." Princess Danaphine answered with a smile. All the while, the man with the half metal skull was staring daggers into the side of Blake's head.
Blake ignored him and asked: "If I may ask, how did you end up here? This island is the size of a small continent. It should not have appeared out of nowhere unless something happened."
