*Actionette* - The Mollopod Transporter-pad

Who: Jay, Efof, Justin, a few other humans, and a load of Aerons,
Eniram and Mollopod
Where: The planet they had crashed on
When: After they had met up with the allied aliens
There was some bickering between the various alien races, but overall
the feeling was one of cooperation. Every one of the widely different
aliens knew that they had to join together against the Krylons,
neither of them could fight such a large army alone.
The Mollopod leading them towards the teleport pads was called Sponjim
Rountrousers, he was a General in the Mollopod military and was also
responsible for bringing these aliens together.
Jay looked up ahead, he could see two large towers, he assumed they
were defensive gun towers. They looked like lookout towers from old
war films, they had a basic lattice leading up to a small platform on
top which housed some sort of mounted gun. Between the two towers was
a series of three metal rings set into some shiny marble.
"These teleport pads lead straight to the Mollopod homeworld."
Explained Sponjim Rountrousers. These automatic guntowers protect us
from the Krylons on this planet. Once we teleport to our homeworld we
will hold a huge banquet in celebration of all our races coming
together in this alliance against a common foe.
"I wonder what they'll be serving at the banquet." Jay joked silently,
remembering the last time they met the Mollopod. "I hope it's not human."
"Ooh, I've never eaten human. Does it taste like chicken?" Efof asked,
before Jay slapped him around the back of the head.
As the Mollopod was talking, the group had been too distracted to
notice the dull vibrations of some extremely heavy footsteps. A Krylon
tobot, a giant, walked out of a petrified forest of trees and walked
around the back of the two guntowers.
It was a solid looking robot, almost as tall as the guntowers. His
legs and arms seemed to covered in so much metal they looked solid all
the way through. It pushed on one of the guntowers, which sparked as
it fell over. The structure fell towards the group and crushed a
fishy-looking Eniram, who exploded into a mess of what looked like tuna.
Two other Krylons appeared behind them. These were much smaller, the
height of normal people. One was a miniature version of the giant, but
with circular saws on it's the end of it's arms, the other was a far
more frail-looking robot, but it had a powerful laser-cannon in it's
chest.
The frail robot fired it's laser cannon. Jay had just managed to duck
out of the way, and an Aeron got the full blast. He vaporised
instantly and covered Efof in a fine mist of dust. The firing robot
then hid behind the robot with the circular saws as it reloaded,
obviously conscious that it was the weakest of the three.
The robot with the circular saw swung it's arms and sliced straight
through the body of one of the Mollopod guards. It exploded in a mess
of goo, and it's ceremonial spear fell to the ground.
Jay looked up at the remaining tower. "Why isn't the automatic gun
working?" he shouted over the mayhem.
General Rountrousers turned around, he had been backing away from the
iron giant that was stomping towards him. We have detected in the past
that Krylons use jamming signals. They must be preventing the guns
from working. Someone needs to get up that tower and use it manually.
Jay groaned. Although his did notice that the armour on the Krylon's
heads were far weaker then the rest of their bodies.
Justin ducked to avoid the robot with the circular saw arms. As he did
so he noticed that the joins between the Krylon's armour-plated legs
were showing bare wiring and hydraulic pipes. If only he could get
close enough...
<Tag – someone kill these robots! I've given plenty of hints how to do
it, or ignore those hints and kill them in a different and more
exciting way!>
