Tori's face is blushed red, and she looks away from Tony. He smiles, lovingly pads her head and opens the portal to the place where he has landed.

"Stay here and take care of your people." He enters the portal and exits to his destination.

Tony looked around and saw the harpies crops were gone. He sighed in relief, knowing that he managed to save them even though it was too late. He looks up, and at a far distance, he sees a large flok of harpies heading toward him.

"Muuu!!" (Tori) Tony heard Tori's voice next to him. he quickly turned to look, and Tori was there standing next to him. Tony looked behind and saw that all the Harpies follow him through the portal. He was about to scold Tori but let her off. Because when he told her to stay in the village, she might have misunderstood and thought you told her to follow him.

They arrive a few minutes later—the harpy group led by the red feather harpy. Then the Harpies from both sides started gawking at each other, and Tony stood looking at the Red Harpy...…well, it was more like he was cheeking her out. She had a bit of muscle on her, but everything else was perfect.

The red Harpy finally notices Tony and starts gawking at him. Tony was about to make his move, but then Tori came in front of him and spread her wings, yelling back at her. Tony doesn't understand what she and red Harpy were talking about.

But their conversion when like this.

"Oi! Oi! Oi! This wingless weakling dare to have his eye on this leader! I will rip him apart and feed my servant!!" (Red Harpy)

"How dare you insult my husband!! He is the saviour of my people and more insulting from you, and I'll not let you off!" (Tori)

"Huhhhh!!??? He's your mate!? Hahahahahaha!? So that is the reason you refuse to be mine! That's your excuse!? Hahahahaha! You think that puny little thing is better than me!?" (Red Harpy)

"Hmph! He is better than you in any way!! How do you think we have so much food?" (Tori)

"Hohhhhhhh? So that reason why your weakling of a village has so much food, because of him? hehehe, don't worry, green one. I will take both of you and your mate as mine!" (Red Harpy)

"YOU DARE!!-Husband?" (Tori) Tony grabbed her shoulder, gently pulled her back, and smiled at her. Then he turns toward the Red Harpy in the sky.

"Suit up." He whispers. He starts his armour equipping transformation by slowly equipping from his feet and all the way up to his whole body. And the final finish is when the helmet closes his face, and bright blue intimidating eyes glow.

("Now then...How do you dominate a tribe of savages? An act of higher power. And what is a higher power to a being that lived in the wild? That is, of course.")

"The forces of nature." The Warhammer appear on his hand, and he uses its ability to control the weather. The Red Harpy attitude has completely changed when Tony fully equips his suit. Her instinct tells her that the weakling is no weakling, and it tells her to run, but her pride as the leader won't let her. Then she notices a sudden dark cloud coving the sky even though it was a clear sky just a second ago. She quickly turned toward you and saw the Warhammer generating a tiny electrical spark on its surface. Fear is slowly creeping into her and her people's minds.

See that everything is ready. Tony made his move. The electrical charge is fully loaded, and the spark on the hammer is getting more frenzyer. Tony thrust the hammer upward, shooting a beam of thunder into the dark cloud. All the Harpies were shocked and surprised by his action. The Red Harpy and her people are no longer airborne and landed on the ground huddling together in fear. Red want to fly away as far as possible, but her wings won't move from overwhelming fear. She looks at the beam of lightning that is violently piercing through the sky, and then she looks at Tony. He is also locking eyes with hers.

The electrical charge finally depleted, the beam disappeared, and he lowered the hammer. There is the sound of rumbling in the sky, but there is no sign of lightning flashes.

The whole area enters a total silence for a few minutes. Red was trying to say something to Tony, but he moved his hammer up and slammed the hilt on the ground, causing a mass of roar of lighting across the sky. And again, he slams the handle, and the lightning appears like rain, causing the explosion a distance away. On and on and on, Tony keeps doing the same thing over and over. The Harpies cannot even stand anymore. They sat down and huddled together in fear. Some even wet themselves.

Tony has seen enough, and stop scaring them. He then made his way toward them. The Harpies broke into a panic when they saw Tony walking toward them. They want to take off and get away from this monster, but they are afraid struck by thunder in the sky, so all they can do is shake in fear while Tony approaches them.

See the intimidating face of Tony's suit approaching her and her people. She musters all of her courage and runs toward him, then kneel and spreads her red wings, showing a sign of submission. She is saying something to him. He sighed and wished he could understand what she was saying.

"Mercy! Mercy! I was wrong! Please, let my people go and take me instead." (Red Harpy) Tony was stunned that he could understand what she said.

("Aisha, you did this right?")

"Yes, I managed to translate 75% of their language at the moment. I will be monitoring their speech to complete their language." (Aisha)

("Oh, I wish I could kiss you right now.")

"You can, when you give an organic body." (Aisha) Tony paused for a bit because biology was his weakness. He out masters all types of science and engineering but biology...… .he's ok at it, but he never masters it. It mainly was he never had time to focus on the subject.

("When have time, I promise to create your organic body.")

"Thank you, master." (Aisha) For now, Tony put the thought subject of creating Aisha's body away and focused on what was in front of him.

"Ahem....can you understand me?" He speaks but in Aisha's voice due to auto-translation.

"Yes, yes, I understand you. Great one." (Red) She looks up at him, showing her surprised face.

"I understand the reason you and your people have attacked my tribe because you don't have enough food in your tribe, right?"

"Yes, we don't have enough food, we were desperate. Please forgive us! Great one!" (Red) She lowers her head.

"I'll forgive you, but you and your tribe must never attack my tribe again."

"We agree! We agree! Will you let us go now?" (Red)

"You can go, but even if you go, you all still need food, right?"

"Yes, Great One." (Red) Tony nod and turn toward Tori. He noticed that Tori and her tribe were bowing to him just like Red and her tribe did. It seems Tony also scared Tori and her tribe as well.

"Tori!" He waves her to come here. Tori raised her head and saw that Tony was calling her. She quickly got up and made her way toward him.

"Husband?" (Tori)

("Wait…..Husband? Really?")

"Yes, according to their speech. Should I change to your preference?" (Aisha)

("Nahh, roll with it.")

"Tori, Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yes! I understand, Husband!" (Tori) She is beaming with a smile.

"You see, I decide to forgive her and what she has done to you and your tribe, but I want to hear your thought. Would you forgive her?" Tori look at Red, who is lowing her head. At first, she angry expression and then she sighed.

"The reason she attacks us is because of the food, and we were weak. She causes suffering to my people, which is unforgivable, but I understand her reason. I will do anything to help my people as well. So I'll forgive her as long she doesn't attack us ever again." (Tori) Red look at Tori with a guilty look on her face.

"I'm sorry for all I have done, and I'll take all back what I said." (Red) Tori doesn't say anything and nod back.

"Tori, would it be ok for her and people to join our tribe?" Both Tori and Red look at Tony with a surprising look. Then Tori smiled at him.

"Husband has the power of the sky and the bringer of food. Your wish is my command." (Tori) She said while slightly bowing to him.

"And What about you? Do you like to join us? If you do, you and your people will never go hungry ever again." Tony, reach out toward her while suiting out of his armour.

"Really? You let us join your tribe? Even all the terrible things we did to your tribe?" (Red)

"As long you and your people don't cause trouble, and of course, this applies to Tori and her people as well." Tony gestures toward Tori.

"Please let me talk to my people first before I make my decision." (Red)

"That's fine take the time you need." He nodded, and Red went back to her people, who were still huger down and trembled in fear. As Red discusses with her people, Tony also goes to speak with Tori's people about merging both tribes together. They all agree as long Tony is the leader. A few minutes later, Red and her tribe came forward.

"Great one. We all decided to join your tribe. Please treat us well" (Red) She and the other bow to Tony with great respect.

"Great! Then here's your food." He took out more crates of food, and since they most Moutain harpy, the boxes are full of ham, bacon and sausage. Red and her people look at the food boxes and drool just like Tori and the forest harpy when he took out the boxes.

"Go on. don't hold back." He smiles, and then De Ja Vu. Red's tribe rush in and grab whatever they can stuff into their mouth. They look even more desperate than Tori's tribe. Tony feels so relieved that he saved a lot of harpies today. If he weren't here, a lot of them would die.

"Ummm….Husband? what do we do now?" (Tori) She looks at him with admiration.

"For now, stay here until I come back. I to go and take care of something." He held the hammer up, and the dark cloud quickly dispersed, and the great blue sky appeared. The harpies look up and see the thunder clouds are gone. They can't help but celebrate by jumping and dancing while munching their meal.

"Look like I made the right choice." (Red) She looks at the sky and looks at Tony. She was thinking about him. Just where does this wingless person come from, and how is he so strong?

Tony opens the portal and enters to underground lab Tower. As the portal disappears, the whole area Tony is standing in is completely dark. Then a green neon light slowly appears both on a side path and at the edge of the wall.

Underground lab. An underground facility with 800m depth and 2000m wide. Divide into five sectors: the Hanger, warehouse, factory, testing field and Colossus project. And Tony is currently walking toward Colossus project sectors where the Sky island is finalised. He arrives at the massive thick metal door with a white 04 in the middle and the green neon line around it. Then a blue light appeared over his head and slowly went down from his head to his toe.

"Scanning complete. Welcome, sir." (Aisha) The metal slowly sides upward while white fog gushes out. He steps inside and sees a small object flowing in the middle of the room with a bright light shining on it. He continues walking toward it then a bunch of status hologram windows appear around him.

"Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Everything checks out. Now I need to inspect the island personally." The status window disappeared, and Tony took out a new armour suit. It is a prototype suit equipped with a shrinking and enlarged tech. Shrinking tech is powerful. To be able to shrink to the size of an ant while the strength remains the same as the original. It indeed sounds powerful, but there is a side effect, using the shrinking tech could cause a negative impact on the user or anything organic. The cause would be the loss of life span or deterioration of organs.

Tony discovered the side effect and tried to fix the flaw, but the current fix he did was removing the original strength while in shrinking mode. The side effect of the shrinking tech has decreased by 90%, but there are still 10% left. It is not harmful at 10%, but using too much might increase the chance. And now Tony has discovered a higher level of science, and he would perfect the shrinking tech to the fullest when he has time.

Tony stepped forward and entered the suit from behind. He could hear the epic metal clicking and locking sound while he equipped his suit, and he loved it since it sounded so badass. After completely equipping the suit, he walked closer to the flowing object.

The object in front of him was a glass ball, but inside was the sky island that he created. Tony put the island inside the glass ball because when the sky island is shrinking mode, the environment is entirely different and could cause great damage to plants and wildlife on the island. Since the mico life forms would massive as an elephant. So he needs to clear all the mico life forms and then build the island from the inside.

"right ...… let's get to work." Tony no longer needs to use the holo keyboard to operate his suit. He now can control it with his mind. He is right now using his mind to navigate through the hud screen, and then he selects on Size control. The LED on his armour started to glow red, which indicates the Shrinking is on and ready to be used.

"Right! Let Go!" The hud screen colour changed from blue to red. And then Tony's whole body shrinks to the size of an ant in the brink of an eye.
