So the small city-like village of Crystal city was in a bind,with the greedy tyrant Bubba closing in to take all the folks prisoner,the people of Crystal city worked like clockwork to retrieve the gems from the caverns in order to pay off the bill.However all the gems were incinerated due to the heat surrounding the smoldering remains of MTL's pod,The villagers quickly gathered everything and brought it to Bubba,however it didn't meet the proper amount,Angered by this,Bubba shouted "Cheapskates!I was generous enough to give you vermin the title of this land and you try to trick me out of it!?You fools only have one more day before I take over,Do it right or it's a lifetime in the dungeon where rats will eat eye out of your bloody eye sockets!" Sometime later,MTL was observing the villagers,they seemed like they all lost hope.Everybody blamed the mayor.MTL,Not knowing much of his past but knows he is responsible for this decided to go out and confront bubba,So the next night during the short time Sarah and her family was asleep,MTL sneaked out the window and shimmied down some overgrown weeds on the wall of the house,he ran across the yard...of course seeing his small stature it took a bit to get across.MTL need a way to go faster...but he couldn't go far on foot.He then thought to himself how he would even fight Bubba,he has no weapons on him and was basically he was helpless,but he really want to help the people of crystal city...But as fate would had it,a giant foot step passed him...it was Loch of all people!Loch was apparently on the same mission:to Stop Bubba.However Loch was a bit of a cowardly type.

MTL snagged onto Loch's boot without alerting him,He stayed quiet.Loch didn't appear to notice MTL and continued to walk to Bubba's castle,grasping his crafted pickaxe with sharpened tips on each side.As the two strolled across the wonderful night like homely atmosphere of crystal city,the two came across Bubba's fort.It was a large dark castle with towers surrounding it,each with a gargoyle placed neatly on top.There were also plenty of flags,each with a odd symbol on it.The symbol was a circle with a diamond shape inside that appear to have an angry eye...as if it represented something.So loch sneaked into the fortress dodging Bubba's various armed guards and eventually making it to the top of the fortress,where he has a neatly lined up thrown,carpet,and curtains.Sitting behind his thrown where chests of the cities' gems.Sitting upon the thrown was Bubba himself,he appears to be asleep...He is a giant muscular panda bear,he was wearing a suit and had a top hat to match.Loch was a bit terrified by Bubba,suddenly he looked down and saw MTL clinging to his boot...He freaked out and kicked MTL off though he woke up Bubba.Alerting the intruder Bubba pounced out of his chair and grabbed Loch by his scarf,Loch began screaming and panicking followed by dropping his pickaxe.MTL quickly ran to it and grabbed it...however it was kinda heavy for him,Especially in his watch form seeing the motors that serve as the "Arm muscle" inside his robotic limbs could only support so much weight.He quickly slammed the pickaxe down on Bubba's gentlemen loathers!Loch manage to slip out of Bubba's hold,He grabbed the pickaxe from MTL and swung it at Bubba.Enraged,Bubba punted MTL down a staircase.Rapidly swinging his pickaxe while keeping he's eyes shut in fear,Loch eventually got Bubba bleeding.Bubba picked up Loch and punched him square in the face,Knocking him out cold and causing him to drop his pickaxe.MTL got up and sparked a bit,suddenly he felt an odd energy emerge upon him.He began to release energy,the energy built a silhouette of a feline-like figure,He levitated up and wrapped around the area of the silhouette where the wrist would be,revealing his true form.Feeling taller he got up and ran up the stairs,Bubba shouted "Hey!where did you come from!It doesn't matter,I can always salvage you and your friend's body parts at the black market." MTL ran up and attempted punch Bubba in the stomach,Knocking Bubba back to a wall.

MTL was unaware of what just happened,he feels strangely more powerful,but doesn't know how to use this power...relying on his newly found strength and stature,he picked up Loch's pickaxe and charge at the money grubbing thief.Loch quickly came to and saw the strange lynx fight Bubba,Loch tried to get up...however he broke his leg.He then noticed the strange machine he found in the caverns was wrapped around the lynx's wrist.MTL and Bubba duke it out til sunrise,Pulling a cheap shot,Bubba tripped MTL and snatched the pickaxe,throwing it out the window and MTL all of a sudden powered down,reverting back to his watch form.Bubba smirked and grabbed MTL,crushing him between his hands.However Bubba felt something hard and solid hit him in the back of the head...it was brick.It appear Loch tossed the brick at Bubba.the force of the brick shattered Bubba's once thick skull,His brain also took damage from it causing him to die before even hitting the ground.When Bubba hit the ground,he shook the floor a bit knocking a candle over causing a fire.Loch was about to flee,but then he remember how MTL kindly defended him,He quickly ran in and pried MTL from bubba meaty claw then fled.

Shortly after escaping Bubba's fort,it slowly burned to the ground.MTL and Loch watch as everything slowly burns to ash.They both saved the crystal city however they took somebodies' life in the progress.Loch said "O-oh,I h-haven't got a chance to catch your name." MTL said "My name is Matt." Loch cheerfully replied "Pleasure to meet you,My name is Loch." So MTL befriend the semi-cowardly son of the mayor,Loch.what could possibly happen next?
