“No, you haven’t.”

It may have sounded like an over-confident and full of himself statement, but Shadow simply saw no reason to try to deny the truth. He wasn’t of earthly origin and, in turn, neither way his ability. Even Wily hadn’t been able to truly understand it, something that had frustrated the insane scientist to no end. There had been attempts to duplicate it, experiments and studies done on Shadow to try to see how it worked…

Those were… not memories that Shadow enjoyed dwelling on, nor were they ones that he had ever brought up to another individual. Blues included.

“It’s unlikely you ever will again.” There was a slight cant to his head as he looked down at her. Knowing where her curiosity laid now simply meant he would be extra careful to not ‘show off’ in front of her, if only to help keep her from becoming too curious.

Shadow didn’t want to be rude, even though his words quite easily sounded so. “… I don’t doubt that you have your own way of simply vanishing, though. You should show me.”

Rebecca blinked at the blunt statement, but accepted that. Some reploids had very unique abilities, ones that Engineering couldn’t seem to replicate. So she figured this was more of the same.

“Ah, okay.”

Though now she was being put on the spot a bit, she tried to not be nervous.

“R-Right, um-”

She had to concentrate for a moment to turn off every single one of her trackers, dampening her core’s power signal, before climbing right up the wall after flashing on a pair of gauntlets and boots.

She then looked down at him from the ceiling and grinned a bit sheepishly. To anyone going by just their signal detection, she would be absolutely invisible. It was a talent that she had picked up from acting as a human. A mechaniloid or Reploid would have to use a deep scan to even pick up that anything was amiss.

Barely a sound to get up there though, she was proud of that much.

“Not a lot of people think to look up, so I hide myself from signal detection and rarely anyone figures out I’m up here. Then I travel by air duct using a map. It’s not so much ‘disappearing’ as ‘hiding in plain sight’. I’m still working on it though!”

OH YEAH SO HEY! Main verse is sort of a! closed verse. Not that new people can’t interact, but certain canon characters are definitely taken by people (Zero, X, Axl, Iris, X-Kai, Cinnamon, Marino, Nana, Blues, Forte, Roll, Rock, and Shadowman) and there are a bunch of OCs that are referenced frequently too!

The blogs involved (so far) are:

@iiregularhunter

@asteroid—blues
@builtfordestruction
@fiightingrollbot

@cossackborn

There are… one or two others that may be part of it but I’m not sure if they’re officially on board yet-!

This isn’t meant as a ‘you gotta join’ post, but it’s probably important to know that the listed blogs are connected and aren’t indie. You can! join too, maybe? If the idea of a joint verse and group plots sounds cool then really all you gotta do is be down for plotting with everyone and respectful of the plots in motions and we’ll see what we can do to include you! ❤

And that was Cacophony’s cue…

A low rumble built in the chest of the wolf as he launched himself through the entrance, body slamming against the archway and causing it to crumble and begin to flake away from the force. Dark embers were visible inside his mouth as he launched himself towards Zero, paws slamming against red armor as the full force of his impressive body size and weight both crashed down on him.

Kai smiled grimly as his buster started to charge. The wolf was able to attack Zero, a feat that the reploid couldn’t copy. Instead his focus was forced onto the young male. A powered energy shot was aimed for Aerin’s chest as the purple-and-gold armored maverick dropped down from his perch, expression near maniacal. 

“I’ll fucking kill you-”

Not Aerin. At least, the sentiment wasn’t aimed at him, even if Kai could only talk to him.

@twinnedfates​

Everything was happening so fast.

His eyes widened as he watched the wolf tackled Zero. If he could call it that, anyway. He was so distracted by this, that the only thing to really bring him to his senses was-

A charged buster shot to the chest.

There was no time to react as the contact had been made. The sheer force of the shot sending the reploid flying backwards. A loud thud could be heard as his body hit the floor. 

There was a hole in his chest. And his body was put into immediate shutdown. 

He’s dead, Jim-

@iiregularhunter​

He should have been prepared-

It was the only real thought that crossed through Zero’s mind as the– Calling it a wolfbot felt like it was doing the thing a disservice. It was far too large, far too powerful, and its weight had Zero slamming back into the electrified cage that surrounded Rebecca.

A scream was ripped from the blond’s throat as his whole body seized, synthetic muscles locking up from the voltage racing through him. The pain was intense but Zero forced himself to reach up, hands twinning through the thick fur of the wolf as his back connected with the ground. It helped to support him, but he still felt like he could feel something snapping inside of himself as his vision flashed bright white and blinding. 

Breathe in. Breathe out.

His body felt half-paralyzed, but a sharp and forceful jerk had his knee snapping up to connect with the abdomen of the wolf. Zero’s reward was a set of hot teeth sinking down against his shoulder, melting through his armor to pierce his chest and shoulder. It was likely he would have screamed again- but all the air seemed to’ve been forced out of him with the last attack-

@deafenedchampion​

Everything happened incredibly fast, from Zero getting slammed into her cage and breaking it, to Aerin getting shot through the chest.

Everything seemed to be going in slow motion now, her blue eyes wide as she tried to comprehend what had just happened.

“Pa- Ae-”

She seemed to choke on the words as she just stared. Her Papa’s blood on the floor, and the smoking hole that used to be Aerin’s chest armor.

Something seemed to snap in her head. It was all her fault. She was stupid enough to get caught and used as bait. This was her fault.

Aerin was going to die, and it was all her fault.

Zero could die, and it was all her fault.
