Vaga felt his armor latch onto something. Life giving calories flowed into him at a rapid pace. It must have reached Cedric.
" Dame It"
That was all he could think before his bodies hunger took full hold. The armor splinted broken bones and replaced torn tendons. Rising from the ground he leaped in a mindless fervor at what ever he was feeding on. He knew the next thing he would taste would be soft, tender, and something he would forever regret.
His teeth met bone?
He licked it to be sure. It was a humongous bone? Hunger overcame questions and he worked up a good bit of his saliva to start melting it a bit. The second bite was much better. Looking around as he chewed on the miraculous bone he noticed the Metal Behemoth for the first time.
" m Ah ating or une?" ( Am I eating You bone?) He mumbled around his mouthful. Swallowing he made to greet what he assumed had saved him from eating a friend.
" I'm sorry about your bone. I'm Vagabond, and my friend is Cedric. He is kinda sleeping right now. "

Armadon was confused, he had never seen a human eat a bone before. He decided that he did not know enough about them to tell if this was normal behaviour.
"It was not my bone. It belonged to one of the large creatures attacking the city. My name is Armadon. I was built to destroy the enemies of the Great British Empire. Are you a friend, or a foe?"

Already Vaga felt better. He had dug through the outer lair and had found the rich marrow.
"You gave me good food. We are allies for the moment at the very least."
The dark delicious marrow was fantastic. Filled with stem cells he was using to rapidly heal his broken bones and organs.
" So what is this ... British Empire? Is it in 'Ol England'?"
He was recalling the stories he had stolen from a little girls mind. Fairy Tales filled with dragons, angels, and knights. The other minds he had invaded had told him that these were fiction.
Yet he had fought angels, and giants so maybe that odd land called 'Ol England' existed.
" Are you a Knight? "
(
humans can eat bones, But it's bad for your teeth and general health. the marrow however is super good for you according to many sources. To Vaga this is actually the best food on the planet. The marrow has all sorts of things he can use.

Armadon considered the questions carefully. England was part of Britain, he could answer that one. But was he a knight? Knights wore shiny armour, rode horses, and fought for their country. His metallic blue skin served as armour, and it could be shiny if he ever considered cleaning it. There were no horses that could take his weight, but then again, not all knights had horses. Although, mounted knights would have been considered cavalry. In modern times, the cavalry was the name for mounted infantry. And mounted included tanks. He was made from a tank. And fighting for his country? Armadon dismissed that question as pointless. It was his DUTY to fight for his country!
"England is part of the British Empire. And yes, I am a knight. It is my duty to protect the innocent and defend my country and it's allies. And as one of it's allies, it is now my duty to protect you. And your unconcious friend."
"Now, do you have any idea where the large, flying creature went?"

" That would be me. Sir knight " Vaga responded through a weak razor bladed smile.
" I know your not human from your smell. That makes two of us."

Armath just couldn't understand it. The human in front of him was not human at all? If it could turn into that flying creature, then what else could it do? It could threaten the safety of Great Britain!
But it had declared itself to be an ally, so that was good enough for Armath.
"I am not human. I am Armath, a weapon built by the Great British Army to destroy enemy vehicles. I was built from the remains of a decomissioned tank."
"And if you are not human, then what are you? I have not seen anything quite like you before."

Vaga thought about that for a moment. It was a question many had asked him, but he could never give an honest answer.However his time in the ruins had given him an idea of his place in the world.
" I am a nightmare trying to become something better. Something worth existing. "

"I'm not sure that I understand. I thought that nightmares were just bad dreams. I had no idea that they had physical shapes."
Armadon looked at Cedric. "Is he still alive? He has been lying there for quite some time. And That means he is either sleeping, unconcious, or dead. And I was not built with the ability to tell the difference."

" We had to mix minds to escape from that hell back there. I'm sure he will wake soon. "
Picking up what was left of the bone from the ground he placed it on his back where a swarm of lamprey mouthed tentacles surfaced to hold it down and continued the feeding.
" At the moment I'm not really able to carry anyone, but I feel the farther we get from the place the better. If you don't mind could you give him a lift while we talk?

Cedric groaned at finally being awake, the comfort of sleep leaving him too soon for his liking. He blinked open his eyes a couple times and sat up. "Jeez, how long was I out," he did not really recall even falling asleep in the first place.
(I will try harder to keep up this time... sorry guys sad )

Armadon turned to look at the human. He bolted the bone to his left arm like a bayonet, lowered his arms, and stood perfectly still. He stared at the human with the unblinking cameras that served as his eyes. He was unsire of what to expect from the human. He was certain that the human could not damage him, but he was less sure about the non-human. But he was an ally, that's all that mattered to him.
The metal behemoth continued to just watch the human, waiting for him to awaken fully. He wondered what his new allies would do, and if they would ever return to defeat the titanic monster that plagued this ruined city.

" Morning."
Gesturing to the large tank robot he made introductions.
" Cedric; Sir Armadon. Sir Armadon; Cedric. Also sorry bout the rough ride. I had to borrow a bit more of your energy then I thought. "

Armadon bowed before the human. It had been quite some time since he had seen an ordinary human. He tried to remember the last time, but all his processing power was being used to teach him everything that he needed to know about being a Knight. It involve chivalry, honour, and a great deal more words that he did not understand. He would learn their meanings later, and perhaps he would learn it from these two.
Armadon offered his hand to the human.

While the others were greeting each other Vagabond looked around. Getting a good idea of his bearing he set off at a slow limp. His legs were still banged up so he figured they would catch up.
(I think it's time to get this show moving.)
