VIDEO

[The feed flickers on, which shows nothing at first. Oddly enough, it’s the inside of the altar room ov Vector Prime. Maybe someone had left their--

But there’s a flash of orange eyes. They only flicker in the feed for a fleeting moment. In another flicker, there’s something peering down into the device, a nose prodding it. It looks to be a a dog of a robotic nature.]


A communication device… [The dog’s eyes brighten and fade with every word and he lifts a red paw up to reposition the object.]

Calling Brave Police, this is Shadowmaru. [He lifts his head, ears alert as he hears something off in the distance. Thankfully it was one of the acolytes. The BP Unit relaxes.]

I am low on fuel. I’m not quite sure if this place even has fuel, but. I’ll try my best for the time being.

If anyone else can hear this, I will try my best to send my coordinates. I read other signatures here, but I’m not familiar with any of them. [His head perks up again, orange optics wary.]

Again, this is Shadowmaru, calling for the Brave Police. If anyone could give me their location, it would be appreciated.

[He then races off screen, the device jostling before shutting off.]

[He just stares back, worry and hurt warring for first place in his AI. He didn't know any of that part, no...]

[And to hear it from Shadowmaru. It feels more raw somehow. More painful. He bows his head, one hand resting against the other's chest.]


I... heard that I... that I broke my promise to you. About living.

[Which is easier to say than "I know I died".]

But not the rest.

[He quiets, his fingers tracing the star on that gaudy chest piece.]

The last I remember is... your words. Leaving. I have nothing to blame you for.
thxforthememories: (Don't look so smug.)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2014-02-10 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He does his best to look encouraging. He means it. Every word. He couldn't possibly blame Shadowmaru for anything. It just... wouldn't be right.]

I... I've missed you. So much.

[Now it's his turn to hold tighter. He has to resist the urge to literally curl up against him. This has to be a dream... nothing could be this good.]

It's not right -- Nothing was right without you.
thxforthememories: (Yes I'm listening.)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2014-02-10 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He leans into it, gratefully. Now that he has it, he never wants to be without this touch, this presence, again. His head leans against the other's shoulder, relaxing for the first time in days.]

I don't know if you want to hear them. They aren't...

[He hesitates.]

Over a year. And it hasn't... it's not easy.

[He straightens, looking at him in sudden concern.]

Fuel. You need fuel. And a medic to change your engine. I'll find you them -- fuel and a medic, don't worry.
thxforthememories: (Making this look better than Perceptor)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2014-02-10 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He glances away. One hand shifts, covering the altered glyph on his arm.]

Later. Getting you fueled is... it's more important for now.

[His own smile is much the same, though he bows his head, as if embarrassed.]

Like old times...

Can you fly? Or... should I carry you?
thxforthememories: (Assume the position.)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2014-02-10 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
It is. And we may have to go to another temple, afterward.

[He tilts his head, an apologetic little smile on his face.]

I won't tell anyone.
thxforthememories: (Oh my god I can actually smile)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2014-02-10 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He steps nearer again, placing his hands on the other's shoulders, and tilting his head until he can look him in the face.]

Shadowmaru.

I promise you. No one will hear of it.
thxforthememories: (よろしく ボーイフレンド.)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2014-02-10 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Now that everything is all right -- now that there's no more misunderstandings... he can't help but smile. This is what he wanted, right from the start.]

It will be easier in your wolf form.

[That's right. He said it.]
thxforthememories: (Making this look better than Perceptor)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2014-02-10 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Right, they have a job to do. But... first...]

[Before he does anything, he kneels in front of him, and... just... rubs his fingers along those stupid dorky robot-dog-ears. He can't help himself.]


We'll try the junk pile first. For gasoline. Then the clinic, for a generator... all right?
thxforthememories: (Oh my god I can actually smile)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2014-02-10 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[And for the first time in... weeks... he laughs. It's brief. It's little more than a dry, whispering sound. But it's there. And it's honest.]

[He's wanted to do that for a long time.]


Yes. Kay has found food there, before. And Power Joe found a... vending machine... once.
thxforthememories: (STOP SAYING WORDS.)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2014-02-10 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Now it's his turn to feel his faceplates heat. His wings flutter, and he makes an impatient little gesture for his fellow ninja to just. Climb up in his arms already.]

She's a friend. A good one.

... She'll be happy to meet you. Finally.
thxforthememories: (I can see Russia from up here.)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2014-02-10 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He huffs, clearly embarrassed, but catches him, regardless. No sooner does he have a good grip than he's taking off.]

You're the reason I exist. Why wouldn't I speak of you?

[He looks down. Then nods a little.]

The other Brave Police. A human soldier. Blurr. Ravage...

They're all that's left. Besides Kay.
thxforthememories: (I can see Russia from up here.)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2014-02-10 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[He stiffens a bit, realizing... that statement. It mirrors so much of what others have been trying to tell him. So much. But he'd never...]

... When you're settled, and your engine is converted, I... have a lot to speak to you about.

[To apologize for.]

Yes.

They leave. They just vanish one day with no... [He shakes his head.] It's always sudden.
thxforthememories: (Seriously car we need to have words.)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2014-02-10 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

[And he's a little quick to say that, whoops.]

It... you'll be like me, then. We'll be alike again.

[He'd worried over that, for so long. He'd held off for far too long, thinking he'd be too different from the other ninja. Worrying he couldn't do it, for that reason.]

[He doesn't want to see Shadowmaru stuck hooked to a generator like he was...]
