Upon arriving at their tower, Aquatina and Gimp found it completely unguarded. Gimp circled the tower, scanning the surroundings, but his puzzled expression revealed he detected no threats. He descended towards Aquatina and remarked, "Looks like we picked the easy tower, right?" Aquatina responded with a shake of her head, cautioning, "Don't jump to conclusions, Gimp. The enemy could be lurking anywhere." They lingered for a while, remaining vigilant for any stealthy or clever foes, yet the area remained quiet. Eventually, they placed the device atop the tower, hoping to draw out the enemy. However, as Gimp set it down, alarms blared and the holograms faded, but still, no adversaries appeared.
Gimp and Aquatina positioned themselves defensively, prepared to confront any threat. Out of nowhere, a multitude of flying droids materialized, encircling them while dive-bombing and firing relentlessly. Gimp swiftly ascended into the air, attempting to lure the droids away from Aquatina. He skillfully evaded the incoming fire and retaliated with his own attacks. However, the sheer volume of droids began to overpower him. To assist, Aquatina encased herself in a protective wall of ice and launched ice shards to support Gimp. Realizing he was in danger of being overwhelmed, she summoned water, causing it to surge upward and create a torrential downpour that rejuvenated Gimp and calmed his nerves.
Gimp felt a sense of relief wash over him as he contemplated a solution to the exhausting battle that had been plaguing him. He began to conjure a colossal orange ruin, accompanied by the sound of screeching fireworks. Suddenly, small flares erupted from the ruin, scattering in all directions. Some of these flares struck the droids, triggering explosions that set off a chain reaction. Unfortunately, the chaos spiraled out of control, resulting in harm to Aquatina as well. Gimp's eyes widened in shock as he witnessed her being burned, but she remained unfazed, quickly healing thanks to the water from the pouring rain.
Gimp hurriedly descended to check on Aquatina, his concern evident as he exclaimed, "Aquatina, I am so sorry!" Aquatina reassured him by shaking her head, indicating that she was fine. Despite her words, Gimp felt guilty and proposed a deal, saying, "Since I hurt you, you can hurt me." Aquatina's eyes widened in disbelief as she replied, "Gimp, it was an accident. I won't hurt my friend over something like that, you silly little fool." Gimp insisted, "I need to be punished for my mistake." Aquatina smiled and suggested, "Alright, how about this?" She leaned in and kissed him, causing him to giggle and blush. She then added, "Now you have to behave." Gimp smirked and replied, "I don't want to now." They both laughed, but their amusement quickly faded as the droids began to swarm the skies again.
As the droids filled the skies, Gimp and Aquatina began to realize that the deluge from Aquatina's spell was drenching the mechanical foes. Aquatina turned to Gimp and inquired, "Do you have lightning?" Gimp nodded with enthusiasm, eager to experiment with a new spell. In response, Aquatina erected an additional ice barrier for protection. Gimp then started to conjure yellow and light blue runes, which whirled around him as the air crackled with electricity. He combined the two runes, resulting in a green rune that sparked with green lightning. This green rune began to spin rapidly, unleashing arrow-like energy that shot forth, striking a droid and triggering a chain reaction that affected all the droids in the vicinity. Anticipating the ensuing chaos, Aquatina shielded herself and Gimp with a dome of ice, which absorbed the initial impact but then ricocheted off to strike another droid. The sounds of crackling electricity and explosions reverberated outside the dome until a profound silence fell.
Aquatina lifted the ice dome, and Gimp checked the Device to ensure it was functioning properly. Fortunately, it was activated and in good condition. With everything appearing secure, they proceeded towards the factory.
