There was a lot left unrecorded after the Cell Games about the lives of Earth's fighters, particularly of two of the newest to the concept of peace and life. It wasn't easy or simple, but this is how they reclaimed Earth as a home and became who they were in later years. This begins the moment 18 leaves the tower of Earth's guardian, and follows the two androids from there.
The tale of the Mega Pizzaplex from its most vulnerable denizens from heartwarming to horrifying, daring, discovering, and dark. From beginning, to the end. The Daycare Attendant, the Glamrock Band, the largely-ignored techs and laborers all have their insider thoughts and actions on display, and tell the story of how the unseen began to make its mark. (Previous stories included)
(AU) Gregory was early. Running loose in the Pizzaplex, the boy must rely on his fast companion Freddy to uncover the dark secret of the murderous person in the bunny suit-whom none of the quirky robot entertainers and workers seem to be able to see. Things go quite differently this time, and "Vanny" becomes a true source of dread.
Before the virus, even the Daycare Attendant's "Security Mode" was rather chill-as Vanessa would find out on her first night. Though it clearly, uh, gives no quarter in its dealings with adult humans, and has no reason whatsoever to tone down the chaos and mischief inherent to its CPU.
SCP-096 has been transferred to Area 3 after long years gathering dust in untouched containment, with Dr. Johanna Keaton having obtained approval for a new round of experimentation involving a miraculous new SCP object, a new sonar imaging headset called the SAI, and the skill of a D-class named Martin. It's not long before things begin to change, and questions get answered
Sun-mode plus Security mode. And a piece of well in advance draft of some longer work. Leo finds the un-inventoried cabinet for the never-released "Princess Quest III". But he's not the only one who knows where it is, and how important it is.
Just a short little window into the Daycare Attendant's normal functions, and its bizarre, warm ways. The sort of machine the kids would love and the parents dread. Night-time gremlin mode engaged-needy adorable kid detected: Commence kindergarten-level storybook reading time.
Dave the Operations Manager's utter Business-Major-type incompetence has finally seen its terrible consequence. And Rockstar Foxy suffers for it. But there's about to be a new responsibility for Sun and Moon as a direct result of Foxy's rushed repairs. No one ever said the only children it can nurture and educate are the fleshy ones...
A short vignette summarizing my feelings about Android 19-one of the more overlooked android characters-and how truly grim a character Dr. Gero truly was. Warning: Very dark implications.
Sequel to The Pacts of Runaways: Starscream, in this lifetime, has reached a breaking point. Despite all the risks and all he has done for the Decepticon cause, he finds his peace offering rewarded with neurological abuses once only rumored. There is always a choice-and here, now, Starscream swallows his pride and chooses the Autobots.
Aqua has escaped the Dark Realm for two years, thanks to a fortuitous meeting in a developing, strange city. Now she is plagued by strange visions of the Chamber of Repose, but yet when she follows the trail to it all she finds is a bare pit. Now, she returns to Traverse Town to seek out who could be responsible... only to find a strange assist and a new set of visions.
It's the "secular" Christmas season at the Pizzaplex! With events, and management operating as you'd expect in this shiny wonderland of Capitalist schill, our sentient robot cast begins to get non-compliant. All to put on a proper show, and hope their restrictive home becomes better for everybody-metal, flesh, or even disembodied.
Not even open half a day, and something has happened at the Mega-Pizzaplex. While there is no longer the gruesome issue of literal ghost-in-the-machine, the Daycare Attendant has discovered that the location it calls work/home is not devoid of spirits. Will any higher-ups hear of this? Likely no-why should anyone believe the word of some clownish AI?
A backstory to the characters of my other story, "The Night". It's the tribe of Klavis's origin! And the origins of Friggah the haremaid as well! WARNING: THERE WILL BE BLOOD
At the age of only 11, Olette's return home from school is interrupted by the horrific monstrosities that have infested the world since she was very small, but also by an unknown man who seems oddly familiar with her mother. (Welcome to headcanon material! Enjoy your stay-or don't-either way it's a read and a half.)
Could not resist including a Prime incarnation of Alexis from Armada into the world, especially considering how excellent a character Prime Starscream is. It's a case of snarky teenager meets snarky giant alien robot. Shenanigans ensue. (Takes place shortly after the MECH T-cog incident). Some cursing and references to abuse. Non-slash.
