Full-bore into their quest to locate the entirety of the Smiley echoes, spread throughout time and space, the loiterers come across a new world with a strong aura of power surrounding it. Intrigued by the immense presence of this planet the they decide to teleport themselves down to its source. In an instant of chaos and confusion, the loiterers realize they have placed themselves in the midst of a great battle! Scrounging for protection from the fray, they duck into a nearby alleyway, only to be confronted by a gargantuan robotic-tank. Using the abilities they obtained from the time-bandit, they quickly bend a small section of space in front of them to create a shield, while simultaneously the robo-tank puts up a shield of its own. Still hesitant, but seeing that they mean each other no true harm, the loiterers drop their shield and explain themselves. Hearing their story and trusting these mysterious strangers, the robo-tank introduces himself as EvilToasterOW, then quickly explains the battle they have dropped into. He tells them the reason the world has such a strong aura, is because it is made of pure energy, but it is two types of energy, good and evil, which are constantly at opposition with each other. He goes on saying, where they are now is the heart of the planet where the two energies meet, here everything is energy manipulated by people on the surface, so nothing here is in an actual physical form, which is why he was so surprised to see people on the battlefield, although it isn't physical, the amount energy down here is incomprehensible, and will destroy any being that encounters it. He tells them, the only way out is directly over the battlefield and into the spectator arena, it's nearly impossible for anything to reach that far up from the heart of the planet, but with his veteran abilities, and their ingenuity, they should be able get them there together. Trusting their new friend, the loiterers take position behind the guard of EvilToasterOW, and with no hesitation, make their charge into the depths of battle once again.
