[Video] Location: Nexus' Temple

[bladesbot]

[The video clicks on far too close to Blades' face as he seems to be squinting at something. Realizing the camera is on, he blinks and backs up, hurrying to put a smile on his face.]

Hello! Hi everyone out there! I'm Blades. So, I guess we're all a little lost, or something? I don't know, some guy just told me I was in a lamb or something... looks like Cybertron to me. At least... sort of. There aren't all the cities and buildings and lights, but I know Cybertron like... Well, like home.

[A soft sigh as he wonders what home is exactly right now. Griffin Rock feels the most like home. But no time for that. A slight shake of his head brings him back to the here and now.]

Anyhow, if anyone sees my teammates, I'd appreciate it. There's a fire truck named Heatwave, a police car named Chase, and a bulldozer named Boulder. They're all really nice and I miss them. Of course, seeing as I heard we're stuck here, I'd love to get to know some of you too! I'm always up for making new friends. I've been so busy pretending to be a robot lately, it's been hard to talk to people.

[Oh, maybe he shouldn't mention that. Oops. A sheepish smile before he continues.]

Yeah. So... Hi again, and bye for now! [An enthusiastic wave and the screen blinks out.]

I don't know, that's just what the guy told me! He said I fell through a lamb or something.

[There is a moment of staring, then Blades laughs.]

You're a toy!

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

[There's an awkward pause for a moment as he tries to take that in. The lamb can wait, his honor is on the line.

The pause is shattered by a sudden burst of bear tantrum.]

How rude! A toy? A toy?! I'm not some mere toy, buster, I am a bear! I'm not some kinda plaything you toss around, I'm a living, breathing bearson! WITH FEELINGS!

[Video]

[bladesbot]

[Well that got Blades serious in a second. He sort of sunk down in his seat, feeling terrible for accidentally insulting someone.]

Sorry, sorry... it's just... you don't look like any bear I've seen. And that bear didn't talk, either. It just roared and looked scary.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

[His ears flicker in annoyance, but he stops the shouting for now.]

Nngh, I suppose I can let it slide... I am a one-of-a-kind bear, after all... Okay! Just don't do it again. It's not nice to call other people toys.

[Video]

[bladesbot]

[It wasn't his fault the person on the other side looked like a toy.]

Ok, I won't. So... who are you?

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

I'm Teddie--

[He suddenly stops, realizing that doesn't exactly help his 'I'm not a toy' status.]

That's just a coincidence!

[Video]

[bladesbot]

[Not a toy... right. Maybe this was like Toy Story and he really was a toy and trying to be alive? Awesome. And here Cody had told him that wasn't a true story.]

Ok. So What do you do, Teddie?

[Play with kids, plan the first day of school for his owner...]

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

What do I do?

[NOT A WHOLE LOT]

Let's see... I eat snacks, play outside, score, eat more snacks. You know, the usual! And you?

[Video]

[bladesbot]

Score? Do you play sports?

[Blades likes sports, the few times he's played them, even if he's not talented athletically.]

I'm a rescue bot. I go on rescue missions with my team and save people, sometimes even the whole city at once! It's a very exciting life.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

Oh hey!!

[He gets awfully excited.]

I gotta team, too! We saved people all the time...and then I ended up here.

[Video]

[bladesbot]

That's awesome! So we're both rescuers!

[It's nice to find a friend who's like you.]

We should get together and talk about rescues and stuff. Maybe we can start a rescue team here!

[Video] 1/2

[kingofthetvworld]

Start a team here?

[That was an amazing idea. So much so, that he's almost stunned.]

[Video] 2/2

[kingofthetvworld]

[Almost because he snaps out of it pretty quickly and gives a MIGHTY arm pump.]

Rrright! We can call it... Team Awesome! No no! Bear Force One.

[Video]

[bladesbot]

I think I like Team Awesome better. I'm not a bear.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

Not with that attitude you're not.

[He'll just write it up as a work in progress.]

I really wanna hear about all your rescues. Was it dangerous? Was it scary? I hate it when it's scary...

[Video]

[bladesbot]

Oh, it's very scary. You see... I'm afraid of flying. I wasn't a helicopter before I went to Earth, so it was a very different experience.

[And the only reason he was a helicopter was because he was the youngest and got to "choose" last.]

Some were dangerous, like fighting this big machine called a Morbot, but some are pretty tame, like getting Mr Pettypaws down from... well, wherever he's climbed today. And then sometimes it's exciting, like the time I caught a lion midair!

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

...Scared of flying? Flying isn't that scary... Not scarier than fighting big machines or lions, at least.

[Video]

[bladesbot]

Do you fly?

[Blades had never heard of a flying bear before. Then again he didn't know they could talk either.]

Well, I didn't fight the lion... Just caught it. I don't really like fighting in general.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

I have flown, yes.

[For the first time here, actually.]

I dunno why you'd want to catch a lion. They aren't exactly nice kitties.

[Video]

[bladesbot]

It had to go back to the animal shelter. It was scaring everyone.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

But you weren't scared.

[Just clarifying.]

[Video]

[bladesbot]

Well of course I was scared! My teammates were on the ground with that thing and what if it got them? But I wasn't scared for me. Lions can't fly, after all.

[He pauses, considering this.]

Huh. I guess flying has some advantages.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

You see~? Most people only dream of flying. You got a gift! You should express it, LOVE IT. For that is the essence of youth.

[...What?]

I've never seen a real lion before, but I...uh...seen some stuff like them. Not so nice.

[Video]

[bladesbot]

Well they can have it. Maybe I can take a ground alt now that we're back on Cybertron.

[If he ever left this temple.]

Oh yeah, so what about your rescues? Tell me about them, please?

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

Our rescues? ...Well, what we would do is go into my world through the TV and save the people before they got killed by the Shadows. Let me tell you, bub, it got pretty scary. Those Shadows really liked to turn into some terrifying things.

[He truly believes that this is all understandable.]
