MECHAGODZILLA - PART 2

note: I've decided to make N's text blue to avoid confusion (and maybe a bit of symbolism). limitations of mobile tumblr, amiright?

-------------------------------------------

[Fwoosh-]

[Slam!]

"Thanks."

"No problem!"

Ugh. Those idiots make me sick. Just why do I deal with this?

..no use complaining. Nothing I can do but follow along.

like always.

"Hey, idiots! Let's get going."

"Bite me! I'm on it."

-

...I don't know what i expected when I followed Uzi down here.

It definitely wasn't..this.

Not..uhm, all of this tech.

I was expecting a JCJenson logo- or anything to signify this was ours.

..we only found something labelled "Apex".

..I think I have a bad feeling about this.

I mean- yeah, sure. What could go wrong? In a..place like this.

[gulp.]

..stay positive, N. Stay positive..

---

3 drones; 2 with installed disassembly and one of hosting nigh-cosmic absolution.

Optics scan all surrounding locality, though not without the caution- the slowness of alert systems.

Sensory data extrapolating a layout by the tick, plausible exits and entrances arranged upon CPU through visor, like clockwork.

"Looks reeeeal maintained. How?" Suspicion seeps by indifference. A tilt of the neck and she's facing upward, studying incremental detail and fine-polished metals which make up their overhang.

"..maybe worker's have been visiting?"

"Doubt it. This place is in the middle of nowhere. No worker's coming, let alone to clean of all things. It would of been scrubbed clean by now, not have so much stuff in it." Emphasis proceeds through a leg that strikes a steel box on it's side softly, sound reverberating; almost painful to hear compared to former silence.

Uzi is once again staring at coated metal and refined black, multitudes of questions laying dormant- yet where would I get the answers? Before the gaze travels downward.

A hint of apprehension when her optics register.

"Found a way forward, guys."

"Finally." "Oh! Good work, Uzi."

Footfall makes it's way down silver-lined halls- barring a level of resistance in the structure despite it's years, considered admirable.

For a wall, that is.

"This place looks advanced. We sure none of us didn't stumble into a secret science project?"

"Wouldn't put it past humans.."

"Come on now, it can't be that bad, right?"

"Oh, to live in your mind.."

"Hey! he's just being optimistic."

"Optimistic 'til shutdown, right?"

"Ugh, do you ever shut up?" Anger coils around digits, constricting openness to fists.

"Only if I have to."

"Urgh!- whatever! We need to go, so shut it and follow me. Can you do that?"

"Y-" [Sigh.] "Fine."

Silence permeates space, forceful tension infiltrating effector processors- No doubt due to her.

..

The sound of boots hitting steel is what Uzi decides to focus on.

The way sound waves impact then register, the way fabric twists and adjusts with each micro-movement, the way she doesn't have to pay attention to her almost-tangible thoughts.

It helps, it really helps. Though, she wouldn't usually just say that.

What's gotten into me?

Though- as much as she'd like to focus on that thought, the wall something-meters ahead is giving 50 different warnings that she really can't be bothered to read right now.

All because I hit a tree last time? Seriously?

So, purple regrettably turns left.

Ugh.

MURDER DRONES

==============

MECHAGODZILLA - PART: 1

-------------------------------------------

..if I had to say the biggest understatement on Copper-9, It'd be how much the weather-

FRIGGIN' SUCKS!

I mean- sure, "We're temperature resistant robots, Uzi!" And!?- it's still AWFUL!

It doesn't help when you're searching for a creepy old facility in the middle of NOWHERE!

I- "Uhm..Uzi. Not to be rude or anything like that, becauseIwouldneverberudetomyfriends- but..you kind of-"

"What he means to say is that you walked into a tree face-first, idiot."

...

I can almost feel my circuits popping.

"How about you spend more time searching instead of treating me like such a prick!"

"Aw, is the mirror-cracker getting mad?"

"Argh- why yOU-"

"WOAH WOAH NOw- let's not fight, right? guys?..please?"

I swear if I didn't stop my boot from hitting the ground, she would be meeting her boss!

-------------------------------------------

Sometimes..I think Uzi is a bit..unhinged.

Others- well..it's usually V.

I just- I don't get it.

Why do we have to fight all the time?

It's not like we have to.

And it's definitely not like they want to..atleast Uzi doesn't.

so..why?

..I hope that sigh doesn't get commented on.

-------------------------------------------

Of all the drones I could of been stuck with, it had to be an emo and her lapdog.

...

I really hope this is worth it.

Because if not?

Well, let's just say;

N's gonna need a new rock friend.

..

Ugh, can't a girl sadistically grin without being stared at for it?

-------------------------------------------

..weirdo.

Ugh, anyway- bunker. Gotta keep searching.

We've gotta be close. I just know it!

Where else would a secret underground bunker be BESIDES in the middle of a forest, anyway?

[pop]

huh?- Oh, bunker door.

..

Wait wh-

-------------------------------------------

PART 1 - FINISHED

After notes:

utter pain to write this chapter. genuinely.

I couldn't think of shit on how they'd find the bunker so I just made it a straight bs lucky find, not to mention the character interactions.

V was the biggest fuckin pain to write cuz I know jackshit about how she'd normally act mostly. (I know some stuff, but im not exactly a V fan.)

N was the easiest, his thoughts were kinda hard but he's fairly straightforward as a character, though maybe im just good at dissecting personalities.

Uzi was medium. Her speech and thoughts were fairly easy, but she acts calmer than I remember, so it was hard finding the right balance.

I know I mischaracterised her a bit, but im sure as hell not going back and redo'ing it. this singular part has took me a week to think and write about, (mostly thinking) nagging my mind every damn second.

second chapter should be alot easier since im fairly confident I can write the bunker exploration. I already have a general plot for the bunker and the art thumbnail which is likely gonna be rly hard to draw, but hopefully look worth it.

enough rambling in notes, otherwise this is gonna get longer than the actual part. see ya in the next post.

oh, one more thing-

yes, hopefully, I will write other titans' parts. I'm planning to write a shin crossover, though it'll be its own separate fic, if you guys so desire, I'll post a poll between an interconnected universe for parts or not.

Nerdy the Artist’s Murder Drones Fanfiction Spotlight!

Welp, it’s finally here! Sorry if this is a long time coming, or that this is shorter than expected. Nintendo has started to show more of Metroid Prime 4, and so my brainrot over Metroid has been reignited. Never the less, here it is! Following in the footsteps of my Metroid Fanfiction Spotlights, I am now going to be highlighting several fanfictions I have read that I believe are worth your time. I tend to focus on in depth storytelling and character exploration, but there may be an exception to that. In any case, these are in no particular order, though they will largely just be in the order I find them in.

1. Intermission

Link: https://youtu.be/VKzv_3q_b8E?si=8dbsFUpev2taOp5D

How could I make a post about Murder Drones fan stories without bringing up Intermission? This a fan episode of Murder Drones set between episodes 4 and 5, dealing with the aftermath of Uzi’s corruption from the Absolute Solver and further setting up Cyn and the past of the Murder Drones. The video is done as a well animated storyboard, with great sfx work and riveting voiceover performances. It even has its own soundtrack! The story isn’t perfect, but I do recommend watching it between Cabin Fever and Home, as it breaks up the breakneck pacing of that stretch of the show. There is also voice actors in this episodes also do a great job. Their impressions are ok at best, but the amount of emotion they bring to their roles is astounding. V, in particular, benefits immensely from this episode, getting center stage in much of the episode, and the nuanced and varied emotions for her character are delivered perfectly, showcasing her manic and tender sides in depth. If you wish you had more V, look no further than Intermission. I know most of you will have watched Intermission by now, but there for the new people to the series, go watch this incredible project.

2. Forgive and Forget. Forgive and… Forget.

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/61109395/chapters/156137086

Forgive and Forget is a fic that gyrates between cute and disturbing at an unpredictable interval. As of writing this, the author, Kiwi11, has gotten 9 chapters of this story out. It follows V as she wakes up aboard the Disassembly Drone transport ship. Due to some programming faults, she ends up being the only one in the group to remember their past, the Elliot Manor, Tessa, and a few small traces of memory of a certain fourth worker drone. There’s a lot of tech explanations of the ins and outs of the Worker and Disassembly Drones that I just eat up. There is also a lot of attention paid to the sort of secondary personalities the trio has. The ruthless obsession with company goals isn’t J’s coping mechanism in this or a sincere belief, it’s an intrusive split personality that takes over during moments of stress, making her more ruthless to even the people she cares about. I’ll leave it at that to keep you guys safe from spoilers. While this story isn’t finished, I can already say confidently it is worth a read.

3. Onions

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/61979827/chapters/158492584

Onions is, at its core, a sort of What If type of rewrite of Murder Drones, centered around one specific change; what if V found Uzi first instead of N? However, this isn’t just some halfassed excuse to write Vuzi Fanfiction. There is genuine creativity on display from nyhll. Firstly, things don’t play out quite the same as in the show. The changes are subtle, chains of events that wind up causing further changes down the road. One such occupance is from the scene where the Murder Drones find one of their own having gotten past the first and second bunker doors. As V doesn’t respond to the whole company schtick and dangling of trinkets, V isn’t given the “branded peeeeeeeeen” and thus Uzi doesn’t have it for the 2v2, causing the fight to go much worse, as well as the railgun getting destroyed in episode 1 rather than episode 2. Additionally, there are additional chapters set in between the corresponding episodes, adding extra depth to characters like Doll and Kahn. It is absolutely worthy of your time for that alone. But also… the whole vampire romance thing is played up here much more. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it for that as well. You’ll find my partners laughing at me in the notes.

4. Experiment

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/63463585

Many of the stories here are rather long (or will be once they are finished), so how about a little one shot for a change of pace? This story, written by Kenns02, tackles a particular oddity of the Absolute Solver; it can regenerate clothes, like N’s hat. This fun little fic display the main cast testing to see the extent of that ability, as well as its imperfections. It’s a fun short thing to read when you’ve got a minute to spare.

Decided to draw V today. I still haven’t quite cracked the code on her hair, but I’m getting there.

Little Blurr

V x Fem! Drone! Reader

....if y'all couldn't tell- I've got a soft spot for V and there's not enough writings on her....I also love this idea, especially when Uzi jumps onto her like a lil parasite omg..

Anywayyy enjoy!! I will be taking a break of some other writings to do requests!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

V stalked through the rusted remains of the factory, her processors already bracing for impact. It always came at the worst times—just as she was focusing, just as she let her guard down. A blur of black and yellow would come screaming from the ceiling or an air vent, latching onto her like a parasite. And every time she peeled the annoying little cockroach off, Y/n would have some smug, flirty remark ready.

But today?

Nothing.

V made it across the main floor without so much as a rustle from the rafters. No blur of metal limbs. No annoying weight suddenly clinging to her shoulders.

She should’ve been relieved. She wasn’t.

Fifteen more steps. No pounce.

Okay. Weird.

V’s optics flickered, scanning her surroundings. The place was silent—too silent. Normally, by now, she’d be yanking Y/n off and enduring some dumb quip like, "Miss me? You’re really bad at dodging, babes." But all she got was the distant creak of metal in the wind.

Her claws flexed, irritation bubbling up.

“Alright,” she snapped, voice echoing off the steel walls. “Where the hell are you?”

Silence.

V’s eye twitched.

She marched forward, kicking over a rusted crate. “What, you finally got bored of being insufferable?” Another crate went flying. “Or did someone finally squish you? ‘Cause if so, I wanna shake their hand.”

Still nothing.

Her frown deepened. She hated this. It was too quiet, too still. It made her chest feel—ugh—weird.

V whirled around, optics glowing. “If you don’t drop on me in the next ten seconds, I’m gonna find you and rip your stupid little—”

She didn’t get to finish.

A weight slammed onto her back, sending her stumbling forward. Arms wrapped around her shoulders, legs locking around her waist.

“Aw, V, I knew you cared~” Y/n cooed, chin resting on V’s head.

V froze. Then her claws clenched.

“YOU LITTLE—” She yanked Y/n off, holding her up by the collar like an oversized cat. “Where the hell were you!?”

Y/n smirked. “Oh? Did you miss me~?”

V’s circuits shorted for half a second before she let out an exasperated groan, throwing Y/n into the nearest scrap pile. “I HATE YOU.”

Lying in the heap, Y/n just grinned, optics twinkling with mischief.

Oh yeah. V was so doomed.

V affection HC'S

Serial Designation V x GN! Reader

Bc I love her<3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Whenever the group stops to rest, casually sits next to V, pull her close against your chest without a word. V grumbles at first but eventually relaxes, even resting her head on your shoulder.

- During battles, constantly keep an eye on V, and if V gets knocked down or injured, immediately fly to her, and pull her close as you checks for damage—ignoring V’s protests that she’s fine. It makes her feel so loved though she'll never admit it.

- During group flights, V will sometimes hover close to you, resting a hand on your lower back or shoulder as if to ensure your still there. V pretends to be annoyed but never actually moves away.

- V has developed a habit of ruffling your head or patting it affectionately, usually after V says something sarcastic or snarky. V’s wings twitch in irritation, but the faint flicker of her optics betrays what she says most of the time.

- When they camp out, V instinctively pulls you close, wrapping her arms around you as they lie back-to-back or chest-to-back. If you try to move away, V just tightens her hold, muttering something about keeping you "safe.”

- Whenever V gets overly snarky or frustrated, you can shut her up by pulling her into an unexpected hug, holding her until V either melts into it or grumbles something about you being “too clingy.”

- When N or Uzi comment on their dynamic, V makes a show of pulling you into a one-armed hug, glaring and saying, “What? They're my favorite.” and she rolls her optics while you smile.

- If you get injured, V insists on being the one to help patch her up. She often lingers, brushing her claws along your arm or shoulder as she works, muttering, “You’re too reckless,” in a way that’s more affectionate than scolding.

- After tense moments or near-misses, you can quietly take V’s hand, and hold it for a few seconds before letting go, acting like it never happened. She takes it as a reassurance method

- After particularly rough fights, if you keep V close, holding her waist or shoulders while glaring at anyone who might pose a threat V pretends to be annoyed, but her wings droop slightly, normally hinting a subtle sign of relaxation.

- V is such a moody butt even though she loves every subtle affectionate thing you give. Like...lots of sass and attitude but she appreciates it even if she struggles to show it<3
