Bastion scratched his head as he stared at his phone.  Something was trending in one of the feeds.  Something about a ‘Man Man.’ 

All he could say was a mental what in the fudge knuckle.  Which Simo could only agree on.  It was bizarre to say the least.  However, he soon went back to his chores.  Cleaning his room being one of them; something he didn’t mind doing.  After all, clean room is a happy room.

Even if that room was usually dark, full of metal band posters, and looked like the local gothic store hurled everywhere.

“Oh would you hush up. You’re gonna get yourself found.”

He already did, in fact. A woman with long, raspberry hair and eyes obscured by bangs had walked over and, noticing he seemed to be hiding, made sure she wasn’t followed. Gosh, this kid did a number on himself, huh?

“Would you like a hand, before someone that matters shows up?”

Cold as usual with strangers, combine with the frustration of ending up in a world that didn’t matter to her. It was infuriating, and yet it all just came out as cold indifference to the Bass alternate. Either way, she didn’t have all day, so he better make a choice fast.

The sudden voice and notice of the raspberry haired woman startled the Wilybot.  His first instinct was to toss whatever was in his hand at her.  Which happened to be his arm, well forearm since it was disconnected from the elbow joint.  Of course, this caused his head to roll from the security of his lap.

“For Asimov’s sake, don’t just sneak up on somebody like that!  Ya nearly gave me a core-attack!”  He shouted in a hushed tone as his head came to a stop against the other wall.  His body moving to try to find it, hand patting the ground.  

“Oh not this again....”  He muttered before looking at the stranger.  “As long as you don’t tell my parents, my brother, Aki, and-or Suna, then you can help me as much as you like.  Seriously, don’t tell them.  I’d be so grounded and I don’t want anyone to worry.  Or...um-”

Bastion was interrupted by a smaller bot, whom had been sitting on his bike for a good minute now; that bot being Fortissimo.  His personal repair system bot.  “{I’ll take it from here, Boss.}”  She called to him before hopping over to Cam’s shoulder.  “{Keep this under wraps, he doesn’t like worrying those he’s trying to protect.  Despite...}”  She turned to look at her ward in a sense, shaking her head with her hands on her ‘hips’.  “{The fact he worries me on a daily basis.  Seriously, you need to use that airdash to dodge more or Aki is gonna be down a friend and an ally!}”

Bastion looked away, his body kicking the ground a bit.

Starter for @hopeful-hugz

Another day, another fight with a rogue bot, and another repair job.  The tough bot had made his way to the alley where he’d hidden his bike.  Couldn’t risk Aki, Suna, or worse, his own brother finding it and putting two and two together.

So here Bastion was, leaning against his bike.  His head in his lap facing his left arm, or where it should be.  In his right hand was the arm, which he was trying to reattach while Simo surveyed the remaining damage.

{Good news, nothing was seriously severed this time.  Mostly joint damage since your armor doesn’t cover those areas as much as it does the vitals.  Well and your optic took a decent blow from that punch.  Didn’t think someone with no hands could throw a decent punch but here we are.}

“And the bad?”

{Your parents are going to dismantle you when they find out and I highly doubt you’ll be able to use the usual excuse.}

“Tch, you always say that.”

{It will happen eventually.}

“If Aki can get away with it, I can too.”  He grunted as he failed to connect the wires again.  It was tough when you were a lefty but your left hand was currently detached.

Both were too engrossed in the self repair job that they wouldn’t notice someone coming over.  Not that Bastion could see his surroundings well from his current angle.  And one of his optics was flickering so that didn’t help.

“Wooooo-hooooo!!” Alright, he had to admit, he could get where Bastion was coming from–Aki was a bit of a thrill seeker himself, and he was pretty much enjoying himself on the ride–he yelled in excitement right along Bastion as he popped a few wheelies on the streets–this was so COOL!

>>”AHH–”<< Mini, though–he kind of wasn’t as excited about it as the two other bots were. >>”You’re really pushing the rules here, kid–!”<<

Aki kind of ignored that for now. “You mean it?!” The Light bot yelled–having his own cool bike would be AWESOME! He and Bastion would be the most popular kids in Silicon Central with those sweet rides! “Sweet! Maybe Dad can give a few pointers!”

The Light House was as grand and spotless as ever, towering above them in all it’s splendor. Aki snatched the helmet off of his head once they came to a full stop and beckoned Bastion to follow him to the elevator inside that would lead them both to the higher levels.

“Rawf!”

“Hey, boy! I’m home! And Bastion’s here too!”

Rush, after giving his master many greeting licks, trotted over to give the same to Bastion too. Seems like the robo-dog was happy to see the Wily bot too!

“Aw, guess he missed ya–ooor he smells the treats on you, heh. Suna’s notes should be on the couch–you can keep Rush busy. I’m pretty sure Dad is in the Lab right now, though…”

Aki glanced at the doors to the Light Lab, closed shut as always. “I’d go get him, but…no one’s allowed in there except for Dad.” It was always a wonder in the back of his head–what sort of cool science things did Dad have locked away in there? “So we’re just gonna have to wait until he’s done in there.”

“When have I never meant what I’ve said?  Seriously, if there’s anything I know besides how to play a mean bass guitar and goth fashion, it’s how to build a bike.”  He replied as he followed close behind Aki.

{And getting in trouble.  Oh and being the most repaired bot in Silicon City.}

Simo, hush!

He shook his head, trying to keep his expression as it was so nothing would be suspected by his Light bot bud.  In fact, he rubbed his neck again to play it off as the sore servos.  “Maybe after school tomorrow we can go to the junkyard and find one.  Call it an afterschool project and we can even do homework together.  I know a thing or two about Algebra, something Suna said you aren’t doing so hot in.”

He braced himself for Rush as they got closer to its destination.  Used to being tackled after Aki, mainly since he always carried the best treats he could buy.  “Heh, you know me Aki, I always have treats on me.”  He laughed, allowing Rush to shower him with all that canine affection before he dug out the treats from his hoodie pocket.  Opening them and tossing him a handful.

Bastion got up after giving another handful of treats to Rush, petting him with a smile.  “Knock on the door and say my name, trust me he should open up.  I’m here so often for repairs that I almost live here.”  He laughed as he went to go get those notes to scan for later.  Had to keep up with school too.  Otherwise things might get hairy.

“Heard about that break in from Lord Obsidian.  Not gonna lie, I got worried when I heard about it.  Some relief came when I heard Mega Man was there to make sure all of you were safe.”  He didn’t want Aki to know that he knew about the Light bot’s secret, after all he was keeping his double life hidden too.

“You’re getting a DOG?!” Aki’s eyes similarly lit up in glee–man, that would be the BEST thing ever! Rush would finally have a robo-dog buddy to play with! After all, he couldn’t exactly roughhouse with the normal dogs–Rush was far too strong for that. “That’s great! Rush would be really glad to have another robo-dog playmate. You thought of a name yet?”

As the Light bot climbed onto the motorbike, he grabbed into the spare helmet, slipping it on as if it was second nature. “Man, Suna and Dad would dissemble me if I ever tried anything like that.” He noted jokingly, grabbing onto Bastion as he instructed. The rush of the engine was also nothing really new to him–it was kinda like riding Rush, except less flying. Off they go into the streets of Silicon City…

>>”And here you are, gettin’ on the same bike as Mr. Ex-Headless over here.”<<

(Bastion isn’t that reckless enough to do tricks with me on the ride! He knows Suna would LOSE it if she found out.)

“You can hang out with me and Suna after Dad tunes you up, if you want!” Aki yelled above the wind and engine of the bike–he didn’t have to worry about telling him where to go, EVERYONE knew where the great Dr. Light and his family lived. Kind of obvious, considering the house was built on a cliff-side and supported with dozens of cable spires. “Must be nice having a ride! I wish I could drive…”

>>”You got a flying dog, Aki!”<<

(I mean a real ride that I can go anywhere in–as Aki! You get me?)

“Treble seemed about the only name Bert and I could agree on.  So Treble, I guess.”  Another reev of the engine and they were indeed off.  The wind whipping their clothes, the roar of the engine as he sped past other vehicles.  It was this rush that the older bot loved so much.  

“Pfft you can bet I’ll hear it from both sides when I get home!  Bastion B Wily, what have we told you about doing those dangerous stunts in that junkyard!  You could’ve gotten yourself killed!  And so on!  I’m a bot, can’t kill me that easy!”  He hollered over the ambient noise of the ride.  Though Aki was only half right, Bastion wasn’t reckless enough to do dangerous tricks with his best bot bud on the ride.

He popped a wheelie down a couple straight aways but that was about it.  “Whoo!  It sure is!  And hey when your AI hits sixteen, ya can go get a license to drive!  I’ll even help ya build the ride!”  He whooped in joy before responding to Aki’s offer.  “Sounds good to me!  I don’t wanna go home just yet anyway!  Plus Suna can give me the notes from the class I missed while getting my head reattached!”

{Because your parents are going to kill you.  Seriously, your mother is going to flip!}

I need those notes, Simo.  Also what if another rogue bot shows up at Aki’s?  I couldn’t get there to help him with the break in because Bert needed help with his scooter and I couldn’t just up and leave.  I ain’t letting that happen again.

{You’re the boss.  Just be more careful.  Seriously your systems are still stressed from that shock from Elec Man two weeks back.  Followed by the-}

“Here we are!”  He interrupted the mini bot as he pulled up the Light residence.  Didn’t take him long to get there.  After all, he practically lived there sometimes since he was known to require heavy repairs and tune-ups frequently.  Honestly, his bike was his own personal arrival announcement at this point.

[silicon-bastion]

“Honestly, Bastion? I’d be the one to slam the trash lid over that guy, but beating him up only proves his point. I appreciate the thought, though.” Bastion Wily was Bert’s older bot brother–and something of the school’s local daredevil. A little rough around the edges for some people, but Aki thought he was cool! After all–he was the only other human-like bot in Silicon City. “And Peter isn’t that bad–really annoying and junk, sure, but he’s an okay tutor when you get him talking.”

>>”You’re just sayin’ that so Peter will keep tutorin’ ya–”<<

(Miniiii…)

“Oh, yeah, Bert was telling me all about that in History class today! I was kinda worried–you really gotta practice pulling the breaks sometime, Bast. He says you were doing some tricks on your bike or something?”

>>”Bastion gets inta’ a LOT of scrapes fer a kid, Aki. Almost as many as you, and that’s countin’ all your time as Mega!”<<

(That’s…true, but Bastion’s just a rad guy that could use more knee pads or something–neck pads?)

>>”Kid, how do ya lose your head ridin’ a bike–”<<

Before Mini could continue, though, Aki’s eyes lit up when Bastion offered him a ride home on that very same bike. “Yeah, sure! Dad’s always willing to lend a hand. Suna’s probably still at her after-school clubs, though, but you’ll get to see Rush! He really likes ya.”

“Sure if you can get passed the constant booger.  Seriously, he needs to get that checked out or at the very least a tissue.”  He responded, his face contorting a bit in mock disgust.

Being a daredevil was an understatement for the bot.  If it was anything he loved more than playing his bass guitar, collecting more stuff for his goth fashion, listening to death metal, or even Halloween; it was doing stunts on that bike of his.  A custom rebuilt Harley Davidson that he found in the junkyard a couple years before he got his license to ride it.

Ah, now Bastion mentally gulped.  He hadn’t thought about the how that happened.  And he certainly didn’t want to reveal to Aki or anyone for that matter that he was Forte.  

{This should be good.  What are you going to tell him this time?}

Shush, Simo.  I’ll think of something.

A sharp inhale as he picked up a helmet to hand to the other bot.  “Yup was doing some stunts in the junkyard, misjudged the height of a sharp bar thingy and well the rest I’m sure Bert told ya.  And I’m working on the braking, trust me.”  He chuckled nervously, putting his own helmet on.  “Heh I’m a tough bot, you shouldn’t worry too much.”

{Smooth.}

At the mention of Rush, Bastion’s optics lit up with joy.  Course he had treats for the doggo on hand at all times.  “Good to hear.  You know I love dogs.  Think Dad said something about building us a robodog too.  Then again I did lose my head earlier so, heh probably got a few scrambled circuits.  All the more reason for a tune-up.”  With that, he hopped on his bike, disengaging the locks, and motioned for Aki to get on behind him.  

“Just put your arms around my waist and hold on tight.”  He revved the engine a couple of times, which roared like some sort of beast.  It purred like a cat that was for sure.  A testament to Bastion’s mechanical skills.

Bastion shook his head again.  “Really boils the circuits when he got onto the whole ‘bots can’t be with humans’ crud.  Sure Bert and I have our fights but that’s in the sibling contract.  Then again what is life without conflict?  I dunno but hey unity is better than war in my book.”

A smirk and a hardy slap on the back.  “Good job knocking that idiot down a peg.  I was about to jump up there and toss him in a trash can like that know-it-all Peter Punk from school.”  He laughed, giving Aki another pat.  Seeing the younger bot still irked about it, Bastion decided a change of subject was in order.  

“So need a ride back home?  I gotta ask your dad to give me a quick tune-up.  Servos in my neck are still a bit off from that incident that made me the first accidental Robo-Dullahan.  My bike’s parked down the street, always got a spare helmet.”  He offered, rubbing his neck, hoping and praying that Aki wasn’t going to put two and two together.  After all he’d just gotten out of a fight as Forte and had taken a blow to his neck again from another rouge bot.  

[silicon-bastion]

“Lucky!  I can’t do either!  I don’t even have taste.”  Bastion dismayed as overheard Aki’s answer to that Nonnie’s question.  If it was one thing that the bot wanted, well other than to protect his family and friends, it was to eat and taste everything out there.  

He didn’t even care about the stuff he shouldn’t try.  He wanted to try it, just once.

[silicon-bastion]

Say Bastion, do you like dogs?

Bastion smirked before responding.  “I love dogs.  Matter of fact, I think Dad’s making a robodog for me and my brother.”

Fun Fact:

Bastion was not originally called Bastion.  I called him Bass Wily until one of my good friends, Ichi from dpndatalogs and gearsoffate, called him Bastion.  I loved the name and thus Bastion became Bastion and Bass just a nickname.

[silicon-bastion]

Up and Ready

Here we go folks, this blog is open for business.  Feel free to follow and even give me some constructive criticism, always up to make changes for the better.  Any kinks I’ll try to hammer out as fast as I can.

And remember, this is just an interpretation of what I think Bass would be in Fully Charged.  Nothing here is canon.  If it somehow becomes it, I will probably need that coffin from that coffin salesman at 3 AM because I’ll laugh myself to the afterlife.

So enjoy my freckled goth bot.  He’s really sweet.

Is it flextape time? No? Too bad the boye has flextape now

He looked at the flextape for a moment before smiling with a chuckle.  “I need this more than you know.  Hehe.”  He rubbed the back of his head.  “Thanks, Nonnie.”
