I stared down into the abyss, a location that was once known for housing the most dangerous of all creatures. This place was known for destruction and death, and it is still known by those two things. The place called out to me, telling me to trigger the event. Of course, I followed the voices directions, showing my true self. The Nanobots inside my body all simultaneously surged from the organs and blood vessels all over my body. The pain was unimaginable as I felt them leak from the pores in my skin. I did not cry or shout out, but I merely stood there as the machines covered my body in armor. A red tint colored the metal bodies of the nanobots, each one of them probably soaked in blood. However I stood there, my armor protecting me. I had worked so hard to have this armor, and it would take a vast amount of influence to get me to throw it away. Then a voice began speaking from behind me, and I knew what needed to be done. I needed to forge on.
