[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.]

[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.
no subject
Joy starts to fill Shadowmaru's AI. He was here. He was alive. His friends was here in one piece. No rampaging bodies, no submarines, nothing! Just Kagerou. As if nothing had changed.
His wings perk up as he smiles.]
Thank you, Kagerou... I just.
I'm so glad you're back.
no subject
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.
no subject
Something tells me you have plenty of stories to tell me, of your time here, Kagerou.
But you know what? Neither of us have to worry anymore.
[A pause.]
How long have you been here?
no subject
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.
no subject
[He prods his chest.] No ifs, ands, or buts.
[Shadowmaru could suddenly almost feel his gas gauge screaming for fuel. He vents a small sigh and nods, pulling his arm away from the other's shoulders.]
I trust you'll know where to find those things. [He offers a small sad smile.] Looks like you'll be teaching me again, Kagerou.
no subject
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?
no subject
I can fly just fine!
Just as long as if our next destination isn't too far away.
no subject
[He tilts his head, an apologetic little smile on his face.]
I won't tell anyone.
no subject
I'll hold you to that, Kagerou.
no subject
Shadowmaru.
I promise you. No one will hear of it.
no subject
I trust you.
no subject
It will be easier in your wolf form.
[That's right. He said it.]
no subject
He takes a few steps back to transform, and stands on all fours, looking up at him.]
Ready when you are.
no subject
[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?
no subject
He finds himself leaning into the contact, his stubby tail wagging before he realizes what he's doing.
Shadowmaru pulls back, face plate heated. He 'clears' his throat as he tilts his head.]
You can find perfect containers of fuel in a junkpile?
no subject
[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.
no subject
Shadowmaru squints, looking Kagerou up and down. There's a hint of a smile in his voice.]
Kay?
no subject
She's a friend. A good one.
... She'll be happy to meet you. Finally.
no subject
You've been telling people about me? [A light laugh but he hops up into Kagerou's arms.]
Hopefully you've been telling them good things about me.
[A pause.]
Do you have more friends, Kagerou?
no subject
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.
no subject
And if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here either.
[His gaze lowers.]
So people come and go from here?
no subject
... 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.
no subject
So a medic is going to convert my engine. But it won't change me completely... right?
no subject
[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...]
