[moonlight-tmd]

Idk if u do one shots, but could u do one for when Blitz met Brasshorn for the first time. I’m curious about how they acted before everything happened.

Another day at the forge.

Yellow sun-star hung low on the dark, green sky- the atmosphere on Sirras was different from Cybertron- the weird organic life that thrived just outside the colony's walls was both incredible and terrifying. But that's not what made life on the little planet not far from New Kaon exciting.

Another titanium rod in the smelter.

Few vorns ago, this land was nearly empty. That was until the great and well-respected Warlord known as Megatron decided it would be a great place to build an asylum for those running from the war. Few came from his order and built the metal buildings that littered nearly half of the planet.

In the many refugees, there was a little gold-colored Sparkling. He and the Engineer that took him in were responsible for forging attachments for further building of the colony. The old Decepticon, seeing the passion for crafting in the little one, taught him everything he knew about the art of smithing and work with electronics. As he grew up, he started doing more around the workshop- people asked about him when he wasn't at the forge that cycle, the friendly mannerism and witty yet stern attitude was enough for other settlers to take a liking to him. The golden bot was admired for his talent and craftsmanship, few even claimed that he was a new legend in the making.

But to him, it mattered little. The ability to follow his dream and do what he loved was enough.

"Alright, should be good..." Brasshorn muttered to himself, the rod was burning red hot. He took it out a placed it on the anvil, with the heavy hammer he started shaping it.

He was a very young adult, yet his skills were unmatchable to even the oldest of master engineers. When his mentor passed, he inherited the workshop. He knew every little nook in the building- it stood on the far end of the colony, the workshop and smithing station attached to the closed-off quarters, few heavy-duty safes- or rather sheds, lined up by the building for housing tools, weapons and various resources.

Many people traveled far to commission him to make them something- the Warlord himself was a frequent customer, he supplied the workshop with all that was needed in exchange for high-quality weapons. He paid good sums of credits for every order finished.

Brasshorn was in the middle of taking other materials to finish the mining tools for the local energon mine when he heard the doors to his workshop open. "One nanoklik!" he called out and picked himself up and carried the materials out of the shed.

"Anythin' I can help ya with?" Brass said as he carried the mountain of materials in his servos, the sheer amount was enough to almost block his vision completely.

"Do jou know vhere I can find zhe one zhey call "Zhe Architect"?" The mech spoke in an outlandish accent, Brass had met quite few of Cybertronians with accents, thick or light- but he's never heard one that sounded like this.

"Well, you've come to the right place-" the metals clanked as they hit the table, "-cuz you're speaking with him right now!" Brass looked up from where he dropped the materials, only now seeing the mech that entered the workshop.

It was a war-build seeker, purple and dark blue plating contrasted with pitch black of his finish. Dark grey faceplate complemented with striking red optics and a half-visor on left optic. The Decepticon insignia glinted with the light from the forge nearby. His stoic expression added to the mysterious feel his frame held.

His optics widened at Brasshorn's statement, a little smile appearing on the mech's derma. " Oh- my apologies zhen."

"Nah, no need." The golden mech dimissed, he came closer and leaned on the workbench. "So- what brings you to the far end of galaxy?"

"I have heard about jour skills, zhey say jour works are unmatchable so..." The mech reached to his subspace attachment and pulled out a datapad, "I zhought if anyone vill be able to pull zhis off, it vill be jou." The mech explained as he typed something on the datapad and offered it to Brass.

The engineer took it and looked closely, "Hmmmm, and what's this gadget supposed to be?" The datapad showed a schematic of a weapon, poorly drawn and with few descriptions- he assumed the mech wanted him to finish it. "Dual-element cannons, a veapon able to svitch between low and high temerapture ammunition- like fire and ice!" The mech spoke with excitement, a sudden change from the distant and calm demeanor from few kliks ago.

"Interesting... I haven't worked on anything like that before, but I like a challange." He said as he set the datapad next to him. "Heads up tho, if you have a deadline ya can throw it out the window. It ain't something I can do on short-term."

"Zhere is none, don't vorry." The calm but satisfied tone returning before the seeker smiled widely and his wings fluttered a little. "Zhis is gonna be so exciting! Zhank jou, sir."

Brasshorn chuckled, the seeker was really something different- none of his customers were this expressive nor excited. It was clear he wasn't an ordinary mech.

"No need to be so formal." Brass said before exdending his servo to the mech with a warm smile. "Name's Brasshorn."

The mech glanced at it then back at his faceplate before taking his servo and shaking it. "Blitzving."

And so, a new order was added to the list. Little did he know it was the start of something amazing.

I hope you liked it! I always thought Pre-TC Blitz would be a seeker so here you have it. He's very expressive and doesn't have the beige yet- that color comes in with his tank alt and replaces the blue.

Spg lore dump time !!

Out story stars around 1889 . Their are these 2 friends name Peter Alexander Walter and Ignatius becile they worked at this place called the cavalcadium which is where well known engineers and scientists work there was this girl her name was Delilah Moreo both Ignatius and Peter had a crush on her but Peter as a last-ditch attempt to woo her made the three original bots (spine rabbit , the jon ,hatchworth zero and upgrade with come into the story later)

The bot were made not only as a gift but as a way to test blue matter as Ignatius prior had found green matter (btw its rock candy that was mined in south Africa)

But the cavalcadium decided that it was to unsafe but blue matter was safer

Now the weekend war i **DO NO** remember how that fits in the time line or what caused this if i remember correctly Peter made some kind of mechanical giraffe and as a tempt to up stage him becile maked a mechanical elephant he lost control of it and he was band from not only the cavalcadium but from every organization in the state

I also cant remember when but delilah is dead at this point in the story one day Peter is fixing up rabbit and rabbit keeps asking questions about delilah and in frustration he rips her jaw off and not finishing her causeing her to be finished as a man instead of a woman

Flash forward to WW1 Were the bots were repurposed into war robots this is were zer0 and upgrade come in

Upgrade was made specially to be a nurse and zer0 was specifically made to fight

After ww1 they went missing and upgrade was like "fuck this shit iam out" and left to become a hippie

They were also a part of WW2 and after that they vowed to never hurt anybody again

(Also the Vietnam war that means they were in five Wars MY CHILDREN NOOOO 😭)

Now jon idk if he was a part of the original 3 but i think he was made as a promotion for cristal pepsi because Peter needes the money

He is also the mayor of biscuit town in a place called kazoo land

OHHH and zero was apart of the band left when bankrupt then rejoined the band but when he was gone a bot named hatchworth took his place he was a originally in this place called the vault because of his core bwing faulty

I LOVE THE SILLY LITTLE ROBOTS SO SO SO SO MUCH AAAAAA

-jester

JAAHQI THATS SO COOL :D I GOT MY BF TO READ IT OUT BC I CANR SEE WELL RN AND HE SAYS ITS A VV COOL INFODUMP AS WELLL :D <3

#silas tag! #jester tag! #-🎭

[factual-fantasy]

I got 25 (late) asks 😅 (its got some fnaf lore too tho!👀)

You know? You’ve got a point. I cant imagine Monty getting split in half would be a fun thing to remember..

But honestly? If Monty remembered everything that happened that night? The damage he took from the splash bucket would be small potatoes to him. The thing that would REALLY freak him out is remembering how he went berserk and tried to hunt down and kill a child.

And Pyro! XD

SLKAJLKDJF THANK YOUUUU!!!

--As for how I create headcannons/AUs,, XD

Headcannons and AUs are mostly just me filling in the blanks in cannon in my own ✨special✨ way.

Like FNAF Security Breach for example.

Me: “So what happened to Bonnie exactly? Did Monty REALLY destroy him out of jealousy? How did Afton get down there in the basement? Why is Foxy never mentioned despite Pirates cove being a thing? Is he even IN the story? How come all the animatronics were attacking you? How come Freddy WASN’T attacking you? What made Freddy crash on stage? What happened to Vanny and the animatronics after Gregory left? How does the Daycare attendant work? Is he two animatronics in one? Is he two separate animatronics? How can his FABRIC CLOTHES physically change color if the game implies they are the same animatronic? WHY was Gregory at the pizzaplex in the first place??“

FNAF/Steel wool: “Lol figure it out”

Me:

Yes, although I will not specify where they are in the story or what is going to become of them.

I can confirm that yes, both William Afton and Vanny are not only in my AU, but both play a major role in the over all story. :}

Hmmm, good question... Now, my memory isn’t the best. But out of all the fandoms I’ve jumped into? I’d probably say Octonauts was the most welcoming and overall supportive of me.

I think part of it was because the Octonauts fandom is a bit small.. so when a new artist came around it was like “Heck yeah man! Common in! :DDD”

And also most of the angst lovers in the fandom were on the same page as me, so I got a lot of support there too XD

Tank qqqq!!! :}}}} ❤❤❤

I have! And I’ve seen a few episodes of it. So far I really like it! Mostly because there were episodes centered around my favorite characters XD (Captain Barnacles, Calico Jack, Ranger Marsh and Professor Natquik)

XD I’m glad you like them! Although I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be posting them. Considering I’m making more progress in the FNAF writing.. 😅

Tank qqq,, I’m glad you like him! :DD And I’m sure DJMM would be glad to hear someone say that XD

I cant find the WORDS for this, this was all so SWEET AHHOASKNLKM This really hit me right in my heart man- I hjust- HSFDF

THANK YOU SO MUCHH!! This was such a nice thing to read!!!😭😭😭

(Post in ask)

Actually, funnily enough Engineer isn’t wounded in this comic. This was before his injury. 

Engineer is just freaking the heck out over the dolls outside.. 👀

(But yes he does recover from his injury that he gets later in the story)

Actually, you may be in luck! Have you heard the news going around? There was some updates recently and a lot of the bots have been weeded out.

When I heard the news, I couldn’t believe it. So I hopped on to see what was up and sure enough.. the casual servers were surprisingly clean. I mean there’s still a bot here and there. But it wasn’t like before when you couldn't even leave spawn without getting sniped from across the map.

The casual servers actually have real players now, and most of the bots have been wiped out :}}

Or at least, uh. It was like that last time I checked a few months ago. Maybe the bots came back idk--

I don’t like it when people draw fanart of my stuff.

But if you were to draw fanart and never show/tell anyone and it would only be for your eyes to see? I mean, what am I gonna do? Be upset about something that I have no idea was drawn?

The only set back would be the ✨soul crushing guilt✨ of drawing fanart of some of my stuff even though you know I don’t vibe with that XD

@orionapraxnia

Not.. really? I mean, if I miss a fandom, I just. Jump back into it XD

Like I did with TF2 recently. I was getting a little burnt out with writing so I took a short break by diving head first into TF2 again XD

I used to shy away from parkouring from fandom to fandom back in the day. But now a days I find that I have more fun by just drawing what ever I feel like drawing at the time. And my followers don’t seem to mind sooo,, XD

@burningmusicfunnygiant​

Yes sirrr, those two were best buds back in the day,

(Here’s a link to the video)

I went and watched the video. And although it was pretty cool!.. It was a fan-made video. Its not an actual DLC..😅

@paintedpig I have a voice in mind for Foxy actually! I imagine him sounding just like his cannon voice. You can hear it in the Ultimate custom night voice lines.

As for Bonnie? I don’t think I really have one in mind for him... But I know he doesn’t sound high pitched and goofy. Like Nedd bear or Goofy the dog. I imagine his voice is deeper and more chill. Kind’a like what Freddy Fazbear might sound like?

Thank youuu,,, :}}}

Aww, I’m glad! :D

And its not that I don’t like those comics anymore. I’m still proud of them and like how they came out! Its just that from a lore perspective,, they don’t fit into the story anymore. Soooo for the sake of telling the story, they need a do over! :}

@sweetturtledonkeycookie  I usually draw/post what ever fandom I’m into at the time. After my FNAF re-faze dies down maybe I’ll jump back into Octonauts. Or Undertale, ooorrrr jump into a NEW fandom like Sam and Max or something XD I cant predict what faze I’m going to go through next! You’re just going to have to wait and see! 😅

Yeah, I figured that the story was probably great and the characters were probably great.. but I judged a book by its cover and turned the other way <XD

Right now I have a lot of shows that I’m too lazy to watch that I mean to get around to someday. I guess for the sake of the story I’ll have to add Transformers animated to the list and give it the shot it deserves. :}

@mysteriousl0ser Roxy only got put up on stage after Bonnie was decommissioned, yes.

When Foxy was taken, the Band took a hit without their Keytar player. But the company hadn’t thought to put the other animatronics on stage in his place. Mostly because Monty/Roxy wouldn’t have really fit into the group..

But when Bonnie was damaged? Now they were down their Keytar player and their Bass player. So at that point they really needed to rebuild the band for that nights show so they tossed Monty and Roxy on the stage in their places.. <:/

As for how long the gap was between Foxy and Bonnie’s decommissions? That part of the timeline hasn’t been fully ironed out yet.. but I’d say about maybe 4 months to a year? It was supposed to feel like when the animatronics were finally starting to get back up on their feet and began to process Foxy’s death.. Bonnie was unexpectedly taken too. Knocking them all back down again..

Also thank you!! :DDD I’m glad you like them!! :}}

@johnbrownanarchist XD Thanks! It took me a while to figure out what he would look like back in the old days.

As for the description thing? I suppose you could use it. I mean, who doesn’t like Monty in a silly hat? XD

@wackigremlinchild Tank you!! :}} I did my best!

@conflicted-phoenix XD That is one of the highest complements I have ever received.

warnings: 18+, NSFW, smut lmao, drug use, semi-public sex, idk what this is sorry

The rooftop deck was your favorite place to retreat to when you couldn’t sleep and needed some alone time. It was just a few steps up from the house below and gave a perfect view of the surroundings. It had two couches and a table, making it the ideal location to smoke weed, away from others.

The wind made for perfect background noise and there was just enough people awake in this beach town to make you feel safe and comfortable. You stared out at the horizon, where the ocean met the dark skies, almost undetectable due to the new moon.

You could just see into town, the buildings and streets lighting up the sky in the distance. You loved living in this little town for the summer. It was a perfect break from the craziness of school and the impending craziness of real life. You grabbed your lighter off the table and pulled a

blunt out of your pocket, sparking it up and trying to avoid the wind. It finally caught and you breathed in the warm smoke, feeling it burn your lungs.

Your abs twitched as you tried your hardest not to cough excessively. Each time you coughed, your brain felt lighter and lighter. You held the blunt between your fingers and continued to admire your surroundings. Slowly, everything began to change. It looked exactly the same but felt different. The building you were looking at before, you knew it was a hotel but it started to look like a casino. You snapped out of it when you remembered you were high and giggled a bit to yourself. The bridge in the distance started to warp into an airport runway, and you did the same giggle after you realized again.

Your muscles started to loosen as the blunt got shorter and shorter. You reached toward the ashtray when you heard footsteps coming up the stairs to the roof.

The top of his cap was visible first and he smiled once you made eye contact. “Y/n,” he said, breathing a bit heavy.

“Schumacher, what are you still doing here? I thought everyone had left for the night?” You took one last drag of the blunt and smashed it into the ashtray.

“Well, Lance is sleeping with one of your roommates right now and he didn’t want me to leave without him.” He realized that it sounded dumb as soon as the words escaped his mouth.

You laughed and patted the couch next to you. “That’s cute. Come sit.”

He happily obliged, and you offered some of the blanket covering your legs. “I also heard you may have a bit of bud.” His eyes landed on the roach in the ashtray. “Or had.”

“I have some more, but you’re going to have to wait. I just smoked that one. I need at least a half hour before I smoke again.”

“Understandable. I’ll wait.” He sat comfortably back in the couch and you looked over at him. He pulled his hat off and ran his fingers through his blonde hair, sending a warm feeling through your body. You had been in the same major as Mick, but you never ended up in the same classes. The way you’re feeling right now made you wish you had looked at him this way freshman year.

“How’s your summer been so far?” You ask, eyes still admiring the changing surroundings.

“Quite relaxing so far, actually. And you?”

“I’ve been enjoying it. I don’t think I’ve ever had this much time to do whatever I want. Especially with all the studying in college. And summer classes.”

He nodded in agreement. “Glad to be done with engineering?” You both laughed. Of course you were.

“Until September when I start my full time engineering job, yes.”

“That’s incredible, congratulations.” He looked genuinely happy for you, but a little disappointed in himself. He unfortunately wasn’t lucky enough to find a job just yet but he wasn’t going to spend his senior summer interviewing and wasting away his days.

The two of you talked more about post-grad and how scary it can be as a new grad. You reassured him that he would find a job no problem, and he reassured you that you didn’t suck at engineering no matter how hard you tried to convince yourself of it. It was better to start out disappointed in yourself and work your way up than to let yourself down, right?

You got absolutely lost in conversation with Mick and could continue talking with him for hours if you hadn’t remembered the pre-rolled blunt sitting on the table calling your names.

“Alright, let’s light this up,” you said, sitting forward and grabbing your lighter. You sucked in while you sparked up your lighter on the other end of the blunt. You held the smoke in and let it out with a few coughs, trying to get words in between. “I didn’t know you smoked.” You passed him the blunt.

“I don’t usually,” he said, taking a puff. You watched as his lips pursed around the wrap and suddenly felt yourself growing desperate to touch him and feel those lips on yours. “I woke up violently hungover today, so I didn’t want to drink. But I also didn’t want to be sober. So here I am.” He passed it back, pushing it away from himself as he could feel a big cough coming on.

The calming sensation of the weed started to kick in and you felt weightless in the best way possible. You let your head fall back as you admired the stars. You were almost positive you were going cross-eyed but luckily Mick assured you that your eyes were fine.

“You know,” you started, keeping your gaze up to the sky. “I heard high sex is the best sex.”

Mick cleared his throat and shifted in his seat. “Really… huh. Interesting.” He was interested but he tried his best to seem nonchalant. “Was the best sex of your life when you were high?”

You continued passing the blunt back and forth as you spoke. “Nope, never done it high before.”

He smirked at you, his squinty bloodshot eyes indicating that he was feeling it. “Well, why don’t we change that then?” He laughed, only half-joking.

“Have you had high sex before?”

“No.”

“Then what was the best sex of your life that you can remember?” Weed made you curious.

“This one night after a party junior year in college. She was so confident and sexy and knew exactly what she was doing. I’ll never forget it.” His cheeks began to blush as he talked about it.

“Ooh, someone’s in love.” You poked his side and stuck out your tongue at him.

“Hardly. I haven’t seen her since that night. Don’t even remember her name.” He looked at his hands and paused before recollecting his thoughts. “What was yours?”

“I haven’t had much mind-blowing sex if I’m being honest.”

“Well, that’s disappointing. I’m sorry.” You couldn’t tell if he was genuinely sorry or just didn’t know what to say about your confession.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ve just been sleeping with the wrong guys, I guess. None of them really knew what they were doing.”

“Now, that’s no fun. Everyone should experience mind blowing sex at least once in their life.”

You blew out a large puff of smoke with a laugh. “That makes me laugh thinking about it, but you’re not wrong, Schumacher.”

“I’m not usually wrong.” He winked and grabbed the small, burning blunt between his thumb and pointer finger.

“Your arrogance is annoying for someone who doesn’t have a job yet.” You meant to poke fun at him but it came out sounding harsher than expected.

“Ouch,” he said, blowing the smoke right into your face on purpose.

“I didn’t mean it like that, I promise.”

“Mhmm, sure.” He rolled his eyes in annoyance.

“The arrogance is sexy.” You let the words fall out of your mouth without a second thought. The marijuana was doing the thinking for you tonight.

“You think so?” He joked with you. He didn’t expect you to call him, or some part of his personality, sexy at all.

“Well, considering I spent four years barely hearing a single word out of your mouth and now you’re high and arrogant. It’s turning me on.”

“To each their own.” He scooted forward in his seat to put out the flame in the ashtray. Your eyes were glued to his biceps being restrained by his tight t-shirt and you swore you could feel yourself drool.

He continued to scoot forward until he was off the couch and on his knees. His hands rested on your thighs and he looked up at you, making sure you were okay with this.

You swallowed a large gulp and let his hands roam your lower half. Talking about mind blowing sex, getting high, and having a hot man on his knees in front of you was not the night you had envisioned.

He slowly slid off your sweatpants and placed his hands on your knees, spreading your legs wide open for him. He smiled and you rolled your eyes, trying to forget that you just gave into him. You wanted him from the moment he walked up the stairs but the weed just intensified every feeling you experienced, especially when he touched you. Your skin lit up when his fingers danced across it.

“God, you look incredible between my legs,” you said, grabbing a hold of his blonde hair in your hand. He smiled up at you and slid a finger between your folds. Your entire body went warm from your head to your toes. Every sensation you felt from his touch was heightened, making you squirm a little more than usual.

When he gripped your thigh, you could feel your skin pulsate under him, traveling directly to the spot that craved him most.

His thumb grazed over your clit and you let out a breathy moan. The vibrations of your body were unlike anything you’ve ever experienced, making every single touch feel like you were just on the brink of orgasm. As he continued to finger you and rub your clit, you were sure you were going to be sent over the edge but it just wouldn’t come. In the best way possible. You weren’t sure you wanted this to ever end.

You picked your head up to see him intently focused on pleasing you, not even noticing his mouth was agape.

“I need you inside of me right now.” You said, unable to continue watching him without feeling what he’s capable of.

He simply nodded and removed his fingers. “How do you prefer to be fucked, darling?” You ignored his question and took his fingers in your mouth, sucking your juices off while maintaining eye contact.

“I prefer to be fucked by you, sir.”

You pulled down on his arm causing him to fall onto the couch next to you. You swiftly moved on top to straddle him, carefully dragging your hips across his. He grunted feeling the release of pressure in his pants he so desperately needed. He hooked his hands onto your hips and guided you back and forth on his lap. The rough fabric of his jeans made contact with your clit, causing you to whimper at the friction.

“Yeah, you like that baby?” He had a devilish look on his face seeing you being pleasured.

You felt his cock straining in his jeans so you helped him out of his pants. You immediately hopped back on his lap and kept your legs spread, running a few fingers between your folds before letting his cock fill you completely.

You winced at first, due to the time it had been since you last felt like this. You stayed still, adjusting to him before you began to rock your hips. He reached for your sides but you pushed his hands away, pinning them down on his sides.

He felt euphoric inside of you, shockwaves traveling under your skin every time he hit deep. You couldn’t roll your eyes back any further so you opened them and watched Mick be completely oblivious satisfied for a few short moments. His arms were pinned at his sides and his head pointed up towards the sky, taking in the feeling you were giving him.

He had never had sex while high before so this was all very new to him, and to you as well.

He snapped out of his pussy-induced trance with dark eyes. He overpowered you in strength when he moved his arms out from under your touch and placed them on your waist. He couldn’t tolerate you being on top of him anymore, telling him what to do.

He pulled his t-shirt over his head and pointed to the couch. “Bend over. Now.” You wanted to fight with him on it but you needed to feel him inside of you more.

You twisted yourself around, sticking your ass up in the air. He took your cheeks in his hands, squeezing and spanking them before ramming into you from behind. You jolted forward at the sudden movement, head resting on the top of the couch. You let your body go limp, letting Mick have full control of pace.

The sound of your skin slapping together drowned out the footsteps coming up the stairs. “Mick?!” A voice shouted. “Holy shit.” Every muscle in your body was shocked back to life, going into fight or flight mode.

He immediately pulled out and threw his t-shirt over to you. He scrambled to look for clothes of his own. “Lance, dude, could you please turn around for one second so I can put something on.”

Lance laughed and faced the other way. “Sex on the roof? Nice.” Mick found his jeans and slipped them on, taking a few steps towards Lance.

“I’m assuming you’re ready to go?” He fumbled with the button of his jeans.

“I am.” Lance shook his head, partially in disappointment and partially in second hand embarrassment. “Do you know how many people can see you up here?” He pointed to the lights around the house.

Mick walked back to you to make sure you were clothed and okay. You had pulled your sweatpants back on with his t-shirt.

“You’re good, Lance.” He turned back around to face the two of you. “And frankly, I don’t care how many people see.”

“Are you high? That’s so unlike you.”

You both looked at each other and giggled. “Actually, yes.”

[barry-j-blupjeans]

Please tell me more about this battlebots blupjeans AU :eyes:

honestly, to tell you more is to know where im going with this AU and I have no idea lsdkfjsdl. i’ve been calling it just “the cyberpunk au” bc I’m bad at naming things. you can find a summary here from an old ask, but otherwise, here’s a lil description of the crew!

davenport: technically the “start” of the crew. he used to work for the city back when they made bots. they tried to recruit him to work for the Hunger, but he refused when he saw what they were All About. he got away and put himself into hiding, making bots to use in fighting pits instead.

merle: honestly, idk what merle’s doing there. he used to work in a hospital but kinda got shut down when they closed a buncha things up. he ran into Davenport a few years back, said “holy shit ur kinda fucked up,,,, i like that” and stuck around. now he’s just sorta a resident Helper/Annoyance

barry: barry was very eager to start working with bots before the Hunger came. he’s skilled in a lot of other technologies but had just started learning to become a bot engineer. actually, his school had placed him and a few others under Davenport to learn. he was there when the Hunger took their first stand and managed to escape. his peers... weren’t so lucky. now, he’s a bot fighter and works with Davenport on repairs, still learning the best he can.

lup/taako: putting them together bc of the similar backstories, but lup and taako had never been in the city much before the Hunger. they lived on the outskirts with their aunt, who was an experimental bot builder who refused to get into any government programs. taako and lup knew about the Hunger before they fully rose to power because they killed their aunt when she refused to cooperate. they traveled for a few years but ultimately were drawn back to the city when the Hunger took over. they both do bot fighting and repairing.

magnus: he a kid when the Hunger took over but he knew something wasn’t right. his ma always said to fight for the truth so that’s what he planned to do- until he questioned the Hunger one day at school and got sent to the principles’ office for a write-up. the write-up turned into a suspension and the suspension turned into a,,, bad opportunity. if he wanted to continue his education, he could come work for the Hunger. See why things aren’t so bad. You can imagine how that turned out. he’s now a bot fighter.

lucretia: she was a kid, too, when the Hunger came. high-class society didn’t deal with stuff like that, though. her adoptive parents were rich people who didn’t care for children all that much, besides having them be trophies. only when she ran away did Lucretia realize just how bad her environment had been. everyone had been so supportive of the hunger and their downright suppressive system. this is where she runs into Davenport, who takes her under his wing and teaches her to fight back. she’s an occasional bot fighter and mostly a writer. someday, history will look back on these years and need a clear story. she will be the one to tell it.

Bumblebee!!! (For the character ask 💖)

Ooo~ Our lovely scout! Okay then! <D 

(Again, I’ll assume you mean from Prime so...that’s who I’m talking about here :3)

///

-Favorite thing about them:

Ohhh I love Bee! <3

My favorite thing about him has got to be the way he’s so earnest and loyal!! I know that’s ‘basic’ or whatever but it really warms my heart...he’s not the kind of bot to have some ulterior motive...and is trusting and dedicated to protecting the people and things he loves! Even when he has to be tough, his only motive is usually from a good place...

It’s just so,,,pure,,, :D 

-Least favorite thing about them:

Hmmm....I don’t really have anything for him either! But I guess it’ll have to be the way he can be a bit reckless sometimes...like that’s also kind of basic, but it made me So Nervous every time he disobeyed an order to take a course of action and sometimes it worked (yay!) and sometimes it didn’t,,,,like nooo Bee, think this throughhh please be safe bby :’( 

-Favorite line:

(I know he doesn’t technically “talk” but here are the top 2 moments I really enjoyed)

1.) When he’s sassing Ratchet,,like that entire scene where’s he’s freaking ticked and we don’t know exaclt what he’s saying when arguing with Ratchet but I bet you he said a swear word or two,,,O//O’’

2.) When Bulkhead’s like “We weren’t even there!!” and then sees Bee and is like “Well, he was--” and the way Bumblebee whacks his chest and gives that low buzz of like “STOP.” Idk it’s just funny to me 😹😹😹

-Random headcanon:

Sometimes, he and Raf will go driving off together for hours. I know this is technically already canon, but I just love the image of Bee speeding down an empty road, his engine humming softly. Raf is telling him about his day, and Bee is simply listening. They often find an empty hill or rock and Raf and Bumblebee sit together to watch the sunset. 

Most of Rafael’s photo library right now are pics he took of himself and Bumblebee at the different places they went to~ 

<3

-Unpopular opinion:

....ok look this isn’t an unpopular opinion at all (?) and I’m also not sure about whether this counts since I’m referring to RID2015 but it really irks me that it seems he just,,,forgot about Raf,,,,completely. That’s not actually Bee’s fault....so you can imagine who I’m a little annoyed at....but eh that’s kind of it; I really had no problem with Bumblebee in Prime at any point, really....that probably makes me immature or something but anyway~

-Song i associate with them:

I again have three! ^///^ 

Immortals (Fall Out Boy), Counting Stars (OneRepublic), and Fireflies (Owl City) 

-Favorite picture of them:

I don’t have any pictures of him,,,T//^//T

However I just googled one because he’s honestly an adorable bean 24/7 so any photo will do :3

wip of a very fluffy megatron/soundwave fic, in a pre-war au. i want to finish it but idk if i will (cause its shaping up to be Much longer than i thought it’d be), so i’ll post the first part of it that reads as finished! heads up though, it’s unedited, in lowercase, and soundwave’s not even in it (yet!)

"what'cha got there, chief?"

frenzy's curious voice jolted megatron out of his thoughts. though he was used to the minibot's tendency to barge into their quarters without even knocking, he had been deeply concentrating on his work.

"ooh, shiny!" frenzy said, scampering into the room.

megatron fumbled with the object, optics checking to make sure the door was closed. it was, thankfully. "please lower your voice," he said.

"oh!" the light in frenzy's optical band also flickered towards the door. "sorry, chief," he whispered, apologetically.

the minibot sat down on the hard metal berth he shared with his twin on the left side of the cramped, underground room, across from megatron. his legs swung back and forth from the edge, and he asked, "so what is it? somethin' important? somethin'... illegal?"

megatron fixed his charge with an unimpressed stare. "frenzy."

"what? you were lookin' all secretive 'n slag, i'm bound ta get curious!"

megatron sighed. "yes, it \is/ important, and no, i \don't/ want people to know about it. \and/ it's fragile."

frenzy leaned in. "yeesh, talk about a triple threat. but hey, you can trust me, can't ya? i only wanna look! and i won't even tell rumble!"

megatron found that extremely doubtful. even though he knew rumble was currently on shift with impactor (and primus, he really should try to get that changed at some point. the mech was a \terrible/ influence on the little ones. not that he ever could. impactor would never admit it, but megatron knew that he was quite fond of the two.), he also knew that the twins were \always/ gossiping over their link no matter how far apart they might be.

"i will show you. but!" he exclaimed, before frenzy got too excited, "when rumble finds out," when and not if, "he has to promise not to talk about it either."

frenzy's visor flared, and he nodded firmly. "we promise!"

internally, megatron smiled. he never really wanted to keep things from the twins, especially not something like this. he was far too fond of them both, ever since they were placed under his care all those stellar cycles ago. not only that, but the item was something for their \other/ caretaker.

"it's a gift," he said, holding his hand out, "for soundwave."

in his hand was a tiny blue metal box, painstakingly polished by hand. the cover had faded silver detailing, too delicate and ornate for megatron to even attempt to patch up. on the front was a latch, also in silver.

megatron smiled at frenzy. "go on then. you can open it. gently."

the minibot looked up at him, as if asking if he was \really/ allowed, then carefully pulled the latch open.

as the cover flipped up and revealed the interior, frenzy gasped. inside the box were two minuscule figurines entwined in a dance. their delicate armour must have been made by hand, from this close, he could see all the tiny imperfections, not that they made the sculptures any less beautiful. the inside of the cover itself was lined with a light blue crystal material, giving it a sort of glow. in the corner of the surface that the two figurines were placed, there was a button. frenzy hovered a servo over it, looking up at megatron, who nodded at him.

when he pressed it, the dancing figurines started to spin. then, music started to play, soft and twinkling. it was faint, but frenzy eventually recognised it as some sort of... lullaby? Some old song that he remembers soundwave singing when he and rumble first arrived at the mine under Nova Point, tiny and scared. it comforted them enough to lull them to recharge, something that they both had trouble with. in fact, wasn't that how soundwave unofficially became their second caretaker?

when the twins were sent to the mine shortly after their creation, they met with d-16, later nicknamed megatron, to learn the ropes. megatron himself was still young, and grieving from the loss of his own mentor, terminus. the old mech had fallen victim to a cave-in not too long ago. but it was because of that loss that megatron decided that he would be a mentor to the two minibots. the other miners were too brash, too uncaring. megatron was lucky to have met terminus, and so he was determined to be just as good to the twins. one aspect that he could never succeed at was getting them to recharge soundly. even when he managed to get the two to shut off their optics and go to recharge, he could tell that they were having nightmares. he didn't know what to do.

it continued that way until he met soundwave.

the mech was transferred to Nova Point Mine to work in one of the administrative roles. judging by his frame, it was most likely not his original function, but truly, so long as it was all classed under "servitude", the functionist council wasn't all \that/ fussed about where low-caste mecha were employed. soundwave was just happy that he no longer had to interact with as many mecha as he did in his old job. he was content to file paperwork in his dingy little office, with only the company of his three beastformer cassettes.

as a cassette player, however, it was only natural that he still preferred to have some noise in the background. and so soundwave brought something to the mines that he probably wasn't allowed to have: music.

frenzy remembered the day he heard music, \pre-recorded/ music, for the first time in his life. so far, all he'd ever had were Tarnish mining songs and other north-hemisphere folk songs that the miners whistled from time to time. he and rumble were walking towards the dining area when they heard it, and when the two of them paused to listen to it better, a bunch of other mecha walking behind the two nearly tripped on them! but the miners didn't get mad, they noticed the music too, and then they all followed it. it came from soundwave's office.

the following day, there was music playing on the intercom system. it was risky, because they weren't technically allowed to get any entertainment, but soundwave made sure to cut it whenever any of the higher-ups dropped in. frenzy and rumble lived in silent admiration of the mysterious, reclusive mech for cycles. well. as silent as the two could be. which wasn't a lot. ravage noticed them following him pretty quickly.

through those series of events, megatron met soundwave, and began enlisting his help to sing the twins to sleep. and it worked! though soundwave was somewhat embarrassed at first, he had a really beautiful voice, even with the synthesizer. soundwave then started spending more time outside his office, making friends with some of the other miners, but more than that, he became closer and closer to megatron. the two established a sort of rapport, a comfortable intimacy. soundwave's quarters were a ways away from theirs. there had been a couple of times where frenzy would wake up and see megatron sprawled on the floor while soundwave was sleeping stiffly on the mech's berth. and there had been a couple of times after that where he woke up and saw them tangled up together. it made him wish that they had one really big berth, where he and rumble could squish themselves in the middle and they would be one big cuddly... family? was that the word? yeah... family.

blinking the fluid coming from under his optical band away, frenzy looked at the music box in megatron's hand and said, "thas' a really nice gift to give to the boss, chief. where'd ya find it?"

"actually, \impactor/ found it. you remember when they tried to transfer him to another mine a few cycles back?" megatron paused at frenzy's nod. "when he came back, he gave this to me. well, threw it at me is more accurate, i suppose. he told me that he spotted it in a pile of junk, and that it seemed like something my, and i quote, nerdy aft would enjoy working on."

frenzy tilted his head. "that was a while ago... how long did it take ya to fix it?"

"hmm.." megatron thought for a klik. "it took a long time. i can't say for sure. i had to fix the internal mechanisms too, you see. if you think the sound is faint now, well, it was a lot worse when i got it. and the only mech i could think of who'd most likely have the knowledge to help was the mech i was planning on giving it to!" megatron chuckled. "it took a lot of doing."

frenzy hummed. "so what's the occasion? is it..." he gasped. "is it the boss' creation day or something?! 'Cause if it is, me & rumble need to get somethin' too!"

megatron's engine rumbled in a laugh. "no, it isn't that. actually, i don't think even soundwave knows when his creation day is. this gift is... well..." He bit his lip.

"frenzy, what do you know of the conjunx ritus?"

the minibot's optical band flashed the brightest it has ever been. "you're gonna get hitched?!"

"i-well--" megatron fumbled over his words. "hopefully? if all goes well, that is--"

but there was no stopping frenzy from letting out a high-pitched squeal and running around the room, his plating rattling in excitement.

"Oh-my-primus-it's-happening-i'm-so-excited-i-can't-believe-this!"

Laughing, megatron reached out and grabbed frenzy by the scruff bar and set the bot down back on the berth. "Sweet Solus, child. I did not expect you to be as enthusiastic about this as you are."

"why wouldn't i be?" frenzy asked.

megatron hesitated. "it wouldn't be... weird?"

"well, the two a' you have been preeetty much conjunxed for a long time anyway."

"i--have we?" megatron seemed genuinely caught off guard.

frenzy looked at him as if he was an idiot. "yeah, duh. everyone can see it. pit, thas' probably why impactor gave you the box in the first place."

"...ah."

"anyway, i can't wait for the ceremony! oh, it's gonna be so good, there's gonna be so much oil cake--"

megatron squinted his optics and huffed a laugh. "did someone sneak in romantic comedies from Iacon or something?"

frenzy's faceplates flushed. "ehh, maybe? who's to say?"

"anyway," megatron said, shaking his head, "i doubt that we'll have as grand a reception as you're imagining. i mean..."

he looked back down at the music box. "my Act of Profference is just a piece of junk that i cleaned up somewhat. and i don't think either of us can afford more than one oil cake."

"ah. yes. things cost money." frenzy said, flopping down on the berth in defeat. "well, that doesn't mean that you can't do something! maybe if everyone pitches in--"

"perhaps. but frenzy, remember, soundwave is a very private mech. while it might be nice to celebrate and have a big party, we should consider how he feels about it first."

frenzy blinked. "oh. right, he's not good with crowds, is he? well..." the minibot trailed off, drawing patterns on the berth with a finger.

"maybe it can just be the seven of us, then. you, the boss, me n' rumble, rav and the condors. i think that'd be nice."

megatron smiled, and pulled frenzy up and onto his lap. "i think that would be nice too."

#transformers #maccadam #megasound #megatron #frenzy #fanfiction #long post #i started thinking about cybertronian marriages and the whole conjunx ritus thing and how the lower classes went about that... #i have another scene planned where soundwave plans his own thing & interacts w/ his cassettes n the other miners #and of course the marriage itself.......... aaahhhh!!

[noodlenibblescribble]

Alright, dazzit, Im fleshing out this au a lil more.

-Maybe the jocks arent all just jock. Maybe theyre just preps?

- Idk about Adora being goth then turning jock, I think I'm feeling more her and Catra were bffs that did everything together, but were put in different classes. Adora started making more friends with the preps, and Catra beinf jealous and petty, took it terribly and joined the goths.

-Catra is the one that conjures the most schemes/pranks to annoy the preps, but she needs Hordak back because the jocks fear him.

-Hordak's dad/older brother, Prime, is the principal(?) Which is how he gets away with a lot of things,including terrorizing other kids.

-Shadow Weaver is a teacher (maybe English?) and her classroom is where the goths hang out because Hordak has some dirt on her he could expose to Prime.

-Hordak is always overshadowed by Prime. Prime used to always win competitions, etc., and the few times Hordak tried, he'd always fail to be first place. An inferiority complex grew, and although he continues experimenting and building things, he hides it from everyone, and never joins anymore competitions because he's afraid of failing again.

-He does most of his tinkering im his house, but sometimes needs tools from school, so he brings his creations there to fix after-school.

-Enter Entrapta who has to pick up a tool she left behind to work on her bot Emily, finding him trying, failing, and throwing a tantrum, not knowing what he's doing wrong.

-She curiously picks up his creation while he's having his fit and is in awe of it, inspecting it thoroughly. He realizes she's there and tries to take his invention back, but she's quick, and dodges his every move.

-As she moves around, shes fixing the invention and talking about how amazinf it is, Hordak meanwhile is threatening her with suspension for theft. She gives it back better than ever and nonchalantly pats his head, praisinf him on his clever craftsmanship, then she dawdles away with the tool she needed.

-Hordak is left ticked off that someone discovered him, but impressed that she fixed it and even made it better. Then he realizes he never told her to keep her mouth shut, and comes back the next day to threaten her into doing so.

-She's busy workinf on Emily, but when she hears his voice, she stops, cuttinf him off in the middle of his threats, and grabs him. "Oh, I'm so glad you came! I had this idea and you're the only one I know who has an eye for stuff like this!" She rants to him about her next project, and he oddly bounces back with his thoughts. Entrapta is thrilled that she has someone to talk robotic engineering with, and when the brainstorming is finally over, she asks him what he was gonna tell her before.

-He relaizes he lost himself in the conversation, and tries to intimidate her into staying silent again, but she just laughs it off and tells him she thinks its weird that someone so talented can be so self conscious about his skill.

-Cue being flustered and yelling, "W-Whatever! Just dont tell anyone- Or else!" then he stomps out of the classroom.

-He keeps telling himself that's that, problem solved, he never needs to run into her again, but he keeps thinking more and more about how fun it was to brainstorm with her, how interesting her bot was, and when he's stuck on how to progress with his, he defeatedly returns to the classroom to ask for her opinion.

-Tsundere Hordak is tsundere. Even after getting her input, he keeps making uo excuses to come back to the lab. "I-Im only here because I'm stuck and your bot seems to be doing a lot better." "I left my tool here yesterday!" "I just wanted to make sure you took my advice."

-Eventually, Entrapta stops him and tells him that it's ok to come in anytime, no excuses needed. She's always grateful to have him around. He is very much embarrassed and in denial of making excuses, but never makes em again.

-Eventually they get close enough to talk about their personal lives. Hordak opens up about why he hides his creations, and Entrapta gives him the old, Imperfection is beautiful speech that makes him realize, "Oh shit I think i like her more than a lab partner."

-Her speech also comes with the encouragement to join the next competition with her so they can win scholarships to the most prestigious robotics college, and he agrees.

-Now cue Catra, building up hatred for Adora more and more, realizing that without Hordak's imposing threat, she can't torment them as well as she'd like. Maybe she wants to have Adora suspended to blemish her perfect record? Idk, some dumb thing tbat woukd end in Adora not getting the scholarship she needs to a better school to go with Glimmer and Bow,and if she fails to get in, she'd likely go to the community college Catra's going to.

From here on out, im getting tired and cant think of anything plausible Catra could do to sabotage Hordak and Entrapta's chances of winning. Maybe she kidnaps Entrapta on the day of, making her miss it, and Hordak lose on account of both partners needing to be there? Oof. Idk. Any ideas to expand are welcome :'D

At any point in the all of the TF universes and stories, have they ever thought to integrate Cybertronian tech with humans in some way?

Oh oh! Thats actually an interesting question!

Some tf series have been allergic to that idea, but this was a key plot point in Transformers: Animated and a big part of the set dressing in G1 S3. The vague idea of it also plays an interesting role in Rescue Bots but since the reboot idk if theyve ever actually messed around with it. I think there’s arguably some of this in the idw comics but idk all of whats going on on earth in those comics and sorely need to catch up. Now arguably this takes place in the bayverse movies but much more of a…Men in Black way you could say lol

There’s probably more examples of this that I’m just less familiar with. A lot of times autobots dont integrate much with greater society bc yknow the whole “disguise” angle and also it could quickly turn into an alternate history story and those take a lot of creative energy to make believable. @strawberryoverlord and I have worked on some fan content with this angle going for it before and i know there’s been some good fic involving it, but none I can think of off the top of my head rn.

Typically you’ll find “autobot-human alliance” stories in both fic and canon much more often than a full integration. You’ll especially find the military teaming up with the autobots almost always, sometimes which includes their scientists teaming up to make weapoms (tho amusingly much more common in fic than canon) but little else

Further explanation of the examples ive mentioned under the cut

G1 is actually supposed to take place in 1984, which is something i think doesnt completely register to ppl sometimes?? Lol. season 3 and the movie however is actually supposed to be in the “distant future” of 2005 xjsjjsjddj it was their excuse for roling out toys that had more “futuristic”, space-y, and/or alien alt modes. It was also an excuse to focus on a new set of cast members (kind of a next generation story tbh). The basic idea was that autobots had been living on earth a long time and their tech has basically integrated with human tech by now, thus things like Autobot City, a giant armored city, being present on earth, and humans having mech suits and shit. Its a shame they didnt actually explore this all that much tbqh; it was also an excuse for them to travel off earth and visit goofy alien worlds.

Now Transformers Animated may be the only example that bothers taking this to its logical conclusion, and even then its not…an alliance?? But by accident.

Basically young genius Issac Sumdac sees the disembodied head of megatron crash into his backyard and he makes sure to keep him alive and promises to help him get a new body. In return, he is taught a bunch of stuff by Megatron and also reverse engineers his head to create an advanced cybernetic future for humanity (or at least in Detroit lmfao). So in tfa there’s robots and automated tech all over the place. It means the creation Macguffin of this series, the allspark, can kinda do whatever it wants on this planet lmfao. The irony is that tfa, while it addresses the fact that eventually cybertron and earth are gonna probably have to get along…has the most strained relationship between the two planets. Cybertronians largely see organics as gross pests that could potentially infect them with…something. Any partially organic and partially cybernetic lifeforms are seen as abominations. So if there ever is any REAL integration beyond Optimus’ little team…its probably gonna be a while lol

In bayverse they do the “reverse engineering megatron who crashed on earth” thing too, but only to give us “modern” tech circa 2007, and only in secret. The autobots and humans work together to fight the cons (and later humans if I remember correctly), but just the military, and only for military interests, one of which is to try and keep their presence on earth a secret.

In rescue bots they are living on an island basically dedicated to tech advancement and they have a family of scientists as friends - the Greenes - but bc they’re in discuss most of the time and working out the relations between their species I don’t know if much comes of it.

The war is over in idw and earth was annexed by OP as part of their…space council? I guess?? I know the autobots (and some ex-cons and I think neutrals) have been living on earth and organizations like GI Joe (yep) are involved in particular with tech and such (Skywarp is actually one of them now bc they found a way to fix his malfunctioning warp technology). I also know that Megatron canonically occupied earth at one point and the humans rebelled so its possible they’ve been rocking cybertronian tech in as much as they have in bayverse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ my knowledge of this section of idw is shakey at best. I dont think real integration of culture and tech actually took place.

Doing the right thing- Klance Week 2020 Day 6

I don’t know if @klanceweek will even reblog this but I wanted to actually finish this event, so here we are. I decided to go with a Motorcity au. Idk if anyone remembers Motorcity, it was on Disney XD and then it got cancelled. I liked it though, it was good. I decided to do one of those ‘Julie goes to Motorcity for the first time’ type fics but with Lance as everyone favourite secret agent. I also went with Lance and Lotor being siblings since it’s usually so easy to make Lotor the enemy. Anyway, enjoy Motorcycle, Hover bike, Race

Lance loved his brother, really. He took over their parents’ work of creating robots and making their state a safer place and became the leader for the whole state. With everywhere else becoming a wasteland, it felt like they could become a utopia. Too bad that utopia was built right on top of an existing state. Lance thought his brother wouldn’t do anything to those who didn’t come up to the new city. He was wrong. Day after day, he’d appear on his screen safe up in his tower, telling them that they would drive the scum that lived under their city. Either they joined his city or they perished. Nothing Lance said, no matter how much he tried did anything. Then the best and youngest cadet went rouge, ran off his brother said. Lance did some snooping of his own. Turns out, that cadet’s first mission was demolition in what they called Motorcity, on a building with people still inside. He quit and helped save the people inside, becoming Motorcity’s protector.

He was a thorn in Lotor’s side, giving with how many robots he sent down there that never returned, or returned ripped apart by lasers. Lance was supposed to stay safe in the tower, but he needed to see this Motorcity himself. What was it really like? Did they really deserve what his brother did to them or not?

So here he was, while all the buildings were undocked, he left a hologram of himself in his pod and went through one of those entrances to reach the underground city. It was loud. People and music and engines, everything clamoured together to create a symphony of noise. It should have bothered him, made him flinch, but it didn’t. he loved it. Everyone was happy, even in the mismatch of everything down here. No one gave him weird looks for his Galra Empire mandatory suit he was wearing, a few people nodded at him, like they were trying to tell him something. Like they knew why he was here.

Defectors came here. They were clearly more common than his brother would love. That explained the influx of patrols. He heard the sound of engines grow louder and saw car, actual cars being driven around, going faster than he’d ever seen anything. Then he saw a hoverbike. Almost like the ones cadets used in the city but this one was made for life down in Motorcity. The driver revved the engine more, going faster and faster, cutting off the car they’d been racing. People around him started to cheer, chanting a name as the two modes of transport reached closer to a parking lot of a pizza place.

“KEITH! KEITH! KEITH!”

Keith. He knew that name. how did he know that name? the hoverbike rider easily slid into a spot long before their opponent reached, causing the crowd around him the cheer, some going over to the bike. Lance watched the rider pull off their helmet, shaking their hair out.

Keith. Keith Kogane. Youngest Cadet to be promoted to a Sargent and his brother’s pride, until he turned his back on Lotor to help people in Motorcity. He’d seen his photo more than enough times when his brother would talk about him. It seemed he became more popular even after defecting on his first day on the job. If Keith had still been here, clearly this was a place worth saving. It had only taken Keith to see people about to lose their homes for him to turn his back on Lotor and the Galra Empire. That meant something. It meant Lance had to protect this place too.

                                     __________________________

He came to Motorcity more and more, eventually telling his only friend Romelle what he was doing.

“But your brother says those people are crazy and out to get us.”

“He’s wrong. They’re normal people who keep getting attacked just because they didn’t choose my brother. I can’t just sit here and be ok with that. Others might be fine with it, but I’m not.”

He hadn’t seen Keith again until he met up with someone else. He’d been down in Motorcity, trading Galra Empire stuff for cash and his stomach started to growl.

“Closet place with food would be Verpit Sal’s but it’s a long walk away.” The guy behind the desk said handing Lance his money, which he tucked into a few different places. He learned that theft was rare but did still happen in Motorcity. “Of course, there is Coran’s food truck, but I don’t know how much you want to risk it.”

“Wait, did you say Coran?”

Coran had worked with his parents, then his brother when he took over. When Lotor started taking his own agenda, Coran left, telling Lance he’d always be there if he needed him. Turns out, he wasn’t just saying that. When he arrived in front of the truck, Coran’s eyes seemed to bug out and he pulled him into the truck, shutting all the doors and windows.

“What are you doing here? Does your brother know you’re here?”

“No, he’s too busy finding new ways to try and destroy this place.”

Coran looked worried. “You’re not helping him, are you?”

“No! Coran, I can’t just let him get away with trying to destroy this place. Every time I come down here, part of me feels like I’m home. These people live like this because they want to, they have freedom and aren’t force-fed lies about how life is perfect under Galra Empire cause it’s not.”

Coran looked at him before shaking his head and patting Lance’s shoulder. “Every bit your parents. You want to help? There’s a team whose main focus is to bring your brother down and help both Motorcity and our fair city above. I’m their main guy who helps them out. They trust me even though I worked with Lotor. I can get them to trust you too.”

Lance agreed. If he could help, just a little bit, he’d do whatever he could. The driving in the car should have been terrifying. They were taught that cars were horrible machines that were death traps. He’d seen how fast cars could go in Motorcity but those behind the wheels seemed to know what they were doing, easily dodging any possible crashes. Driving in the car with Coran, built up a desire in him. He wanted to get behind the wheel, maybe just once to see what it was like.

They arrived at a gate shaped like a lion’s head with a V like shape spray painted on the teeth that opened once Coran brought up his holoscreen and hit something. The building in front of him had a small lot of cars and a very familiar hoverbike. What looked like a bar top was brightly illuminated as the front of the building.

“You’re back early.” A short girl, with shoulder length honey brown hair and large circular glasses came down the long ramp, followed by a bot the Lance had seen flying around the Galra Empire building. Seeing how the usual purple colour was replaced with a grey and blue paint job and the same marking that had been outside, he guessed it had been reprogramed. “Who’s this?”

“All will be revealed. Come, is everyone else inside?”

“Yeah, I need your help with attaching the new laser to Keith’s bike.”

Keith? Keith Kogane was here?

“Everyone, come here please!” 3 other guys appeared from different places and Lance instantly recognised one of them. he was actually here, Keith Kogane. “I’d like you all to meet Lance, my nephew. He’s a defector from up top.”

“The clothes really gave it away.” One of the taller guys said. His prosthetic was Galra made but Lance knew better than to ask questions. “I’m Shiro. This is Keith, that’s Hunk and this is Pidge.”

Pidge, the girl pointed to the robot floating next to her. “And this is Rover.”

Hunk, almost as tall as Shiro and seemed to have the aura of a teddy bear opened his arms. “Welcome to the Paladins’ Den.”

“The Paladins? You guys have been making a bit of a name for yourself up top.”

“You can mostly thank Keith for that.” Pidge said.

“What can I say? I’ve got a score to settle with Lotor. He must feel the same with how often he sends his robots after us.”

“Well, if you want, I could get you information about his bots and plans? I work at Galra Empire as an intern but I work pretty high up.”

“Wait really? You’d do that?”

His brother was doing nothing but causing them harm and giving them trouble and all, he wanted was for his brother to realise what he was doing to their parents’ memory and if that meant having to betray him just a bit, so be it.

“It’s the right thing to do.”

“Sweet! This is awesome! I deal with all the tech stuff, like hacking and stuff like that. Let’s talk.” Pidge started.

“Wait a moment. First things first. Lance, would you like to learn how to drive? It would help with going back and forth.” Coran pointed out.

“I would, but I don’t even know where to start.”

“How about a ride to get a taste of what it’s like down here?” Keith suggested, nodding to where his hoverbike rested, its wings tucked into the main body like a bird.

Lance looked at Coran who nodded. “Keith’ll take care of you.”

“yeah, if you don’t go flying off with how fast he insists on going.” Shiro muttered.

“Oh, like I don’t have to deal with your screaming, you big baby. Come on.” Keith said, leading the way to the ramp.

He followed Keith to his bike and took the helmet he was passed. He let Keith give him a hand on getting on the bike and as the bike turned on and the wings spread out, he gingerly wrapped his arms around Keith’s waist.

“Just so you know,” Keith voice came through the helmet, “Shiro wasn’t lying when he said I like to go fast, so hold on tight. He revved the engine and they took off.

Speed for Lance was the fastest his pod could go. This, this was flying. Even if it had been in a car, it still would have felt the same. Keith pulled off onto one of the ramps, driving with ease with all the twists and turns. Lance did let out a yelp of fear when they flew of the edge of one but some manner of messing with the controls allowed the wings to slow their descent and land onto a ramp below. Even after that, Lance wanted more.

Eventually they ended up in a large unoccupied space, staring up at the lights that acted as stars.

“Back when the city was first built on top of this one, a few astronomers and technicians decided to put the lights up so we’d never forget the stars, or so the story goes. I still think these are better than the stars above.” Keith said as he and Lance looked up, lying on the wings, the heat from the engine warming their backs.

“With all the lights, you can barely see them anyway.” Lance said. “You know when you defected, it was all anyone could talk about, even with the threat of arrest. My…brother has the knowledge of the cadets. A lot of people didn’t understand why you left.”

It was silent and Lance almost took back his word when Keith spoke.

“I’m an orphan. One day my mom just disappeared and my dad died in a factory accident before everything was fully automated. More than anything, I wanted to prove I could be just more. So, I joined the cadets with the hope of going Elite after. I worked hard to move through the ranks and be recognised by Lotor. He did recognise me, talked to me. When he made me Sargent, I promised myself I’d prove just how right he was to give me that spot. Then when I was about to give the order, I saw a kid in the window, looking like he was about to lose his whole world. I had the whole world so what did it matter if that kid lost his. It mattered because I know that kid could have been me. I thought we were trying to make Motorcity a better place, not crush it into the ground. The fact that Lotor couldn’t even comprehend that, that he only saw them as less, I couldn’t stay. When I rode the hoverbike up there, I always thought nothing would ever stop me. So that’s why I use it here, so Lotor can never forget that nothing will stop me until he falls.”

That should have scared Lance, but how could he be when the stars above spoke of nothing but freedom.

“So how quick can you teach me to drive?”

“Can you multitask? Pidge really wants to talk hacking with you.”

“Guess you’ll have to be a good teacher then.”
