"Well done Genesis. Now, what can each of you do?"
Alpha's voice blares loudly. "I AM CAPABLE OF EMULATING TWO POWERS AT ONCE. I CURRENTLY MAINTAIN BATUDON'S GRAVITIC POWER." Beta's voice is... far more normal. "I bear limited adaptive capabilities, along with imitations of the makuta powers of fragmentation and confusion, topped off with notable kiril abilities." Gamma's voice screeches unintelligibly. "Gamma. Stop that." Gamma repeats his message. His voice still sounds like a terrible 8-bit parody of talking. "I have powerful disintegration cannons and the ability to alter probability." Delta speaks next. "Elemental air, kadin, suletu, matatu." Epsilon. "Two faxon slots, allowing for considerable duplication among other things. Adaptive armor and weapons." Eta. "Flight. Kanoka flak." Theta. "Kiril, Hau. Data lacking." Zeta. "Flat immunity to elemental power. Mechanical strength." Iota flickers into a monstrous creature from Anroboid's nightmares. His voice is muffled and quiet due to damage. "That, and heat vision. If Beta would repair me, my armor would grant me several notable abilities."
"Hmmmmmmm. Genesis, would you mind changing the bird to launch fusion energies and listen to my commands? Beta, would you repair Iota."

"Hmmmmmmm. Genesis, would you mind changing the bird to launch fusion energies and listen to my commands? Beta, would you repair Iota."
Genesis blinks his robot eyes and nods. He shifts his attention to the supah flight bird, mutating it to have fusion breath. Beta lifts a hand in Iota's direction, and the damage evident across his frame vanishes as pieces of armor snap back together. "Thank you. My armor disrupts teleportation intersecting it, applies kiril to my frame, and discharges pulses of kanoka energy." The Epsilon speaks up. "Why do you wish to fuse us?"

"Individually, you either were unsuccessful in your purpose or were unable to handle the forces against you. Together as one, you will be able accomplish all you wish. Together you will not only have the ability to help further my business, but it will also be easier for me to help your goals. Or your fusion will kill me without a second thought and go on a rampage, but that's a risk I'm willing to take."

The machines shift in varying degrees of irritation, Iota particularly. But none deny his statement. "Analysis: Collective increase in power agreeable." "AGREED" "Agreed" "Very well." "Ah, may as well. Multiples by good ole' Epsilon 'ere might be fun. Anyone disagree?" The rest shake their heads, Delta the last to accept. "Do we simply wait for Genesis, then?"

"Genesis, would you please join them? My word will be kept, your Rahi will have a safe home, alive and well, from all the things that could bring harm to them."

Genesis pauses for a moment in thought. "As you wish. I doubt you would betray this fusion." Genesis finishes the alterations and joins the rest of the group.

Once they're grouped together, Anrobroid tells the bird the fuse them.

SQUAWK! The bird spits a blazing bolt of yellow-orange energy which clings to the robots like fire to oil. Their forms quickly distort and meld toward one another...

The glow fades, and it becomes clear: There are two entities standing before Anroboid. One, a colossal fusion of a machine. The other, Epsilon. The larger one booms out the obvious observation. "The fusion energy did not work on Epsilon."

Anrobroid is confused and slightly tilts his head.
"Epsilon, does your adaption powers prevent you from fusing or is there something else about you that would prevent it?"

"Epsilon, does your adaption powers prevent you from fusing or is there something else about you that would prevent it?"
Epsilon shrugs. "My adaptive armor is the same as Alpha, Beta, and Gamma's sets. The only discrepancy I know of between me and an average one of my kind would be the repairs performed by a strange entity I encountered in Av-Ta-Su Wahi. It is possible he might have altered me, but I know not."

"That is unfair to your brothers...." Anrobroid now speaks to the fusion. "Can you detect anything out of place in Epsilon?

"That is unfair to your brothers...." Anrobroid now speaks to the fusion. "Can you detect anything out of place in Epsilon?
"Unknown material." The fusion shifts, adaptive armor and Beta's power attempting to allow more insights into the oddities. "Further analysis inconclusive."

"Could you find this place where you were repaired Epsilon?"
