221 Machine Empire Part One (1/2)

She had only passed through the atmosphere when a few flying vehicles that resembled police cars came into view. ”Stop! You are trespassing on the Machine Empire's domain! State your business!”

”Ah, uh… I am here to request a machine body that I can upload a consciousness into.” Misaki announced.

”Hold on.” The voice said.

Misaki hoped things would be easy. She did not want to start a fight if she did not need to. The Machine race was important to her right now. She needed their technology to revive Rika. The last thing she wanted to do was make enemies of them. But if it came down to it and they rejected her request she would not mind going in and stealing a few robotic bodies if need be.

”My superiors need to know your name.” The voice asked.

”Misaki Mitsu, current demon goddess of the demon faction.” Misaki gave her title as well in order to maybe put some pressure on the people who were talking to her.

This seemed to work as the voice said: ”Please follow us.”

Misaki nodded and followed the flying vehicle into the city below. Misaki was amazed by the sites she saw. It was as if everything was right out of a cyber pink movie. Tall buildings with neon lights. Steam rising from below. Pipes entangled everything as they wrapped around the tops and bottoms of the buildings. A dense layer of fog hung over the city. Misaki felt the air was heavy and quickly used magic to filter it out.

Her trip was not long as the police vehicle landed on a platform halfway down a tall building. She landed next to it and to her surprise, a tall robot climbed out and stood next to her. The robot turned to her and said: ”Someone will be out soon please wait.”

Misaki nodded and found this robot was rather polite. After about five minutes a middle aged man came walking out. He looked completely human except for his eyes. He walked forward and stuck out his hand for Misaki to shake it. ”Good day, my name is John Jinkens. I am the governor of this planet, SM-567.”

”Misaki Mitsu, demon goddess, and leader of the Demon Faction. It's a pleasure.” Misaki shook the man's hand with a smile.

”I was told you are here for a body to upload a consciousness into?” John asked.
