[ask-marios-apprentice]

Vital

To contrast a SUPER.

I feel we should go over a villain.

Elizabeth has Fowler

Mario has Bowser.

Or. Had, I guess. With the peace treaty and all.

The point is Mario had a villain to fight against.

Of course we know Mario wasn't the first Super.

It only makes sense that Bowser wasn't the first villain.

We of course now Fowler. Elizabeth's pirate foe she scuffled with time to time.

But I figure we should go over another.

Starting with Uyogas nemesis...

Vital

[insert vitals image]

Vital was a Gearmo who desired power. She craved power as if it was water in the desert.

She was a power junkie.

Some say it was due to a malfunction in her electricity, others say it was her punch card not being taken care of. But whatever it was. She craved every drop of fire flower oil and Tanooki leaf to make her stronger.

But power-ups weren't enough.

She had collected a powerful relic in order to gain strength through one of the worst ways possible.

The Calcite Impaler.

[insert picture of knife]

Said to have been owned by a man named Vlad. She modified herself. Removing her claw with the knife.

Any person she stabbed.

She got their power and added it into herself.

A Beanish fighting master lost their ability to fight and was bruised.

A Cryokinetic Goomba couple nearly froze death.

A Poplin could no longer tell the future, and didn't know their favorite Curry restaurant was going to get shut down. Which led them to hitting the chili sauce pretty hard.

And so many people lost their powers and abilities.

Now people don't necessarily die from these wounds. She only was taking power rather than any blood.

But it's not like it didn't hurt. She was effectively taking a part of them. Taking their magic, in some cases in the form of a physical organ.

It said that said the reason why King Koopas doesn't have wings.

Now how did anyone learn about her. Most people were either scared or shaking up to talk about it.

Well..

A human from Earth (remember that people have been accidentally warped from Earth since at least the 1850s) was one of the few people to have told the tale. Since humans didn't have powers of course.

Unfortunately they have to tell through blinking in Morse code. She surgically removed his arms legs after absorbing their partners powers of super speed and surgery.

Now after two weeks 2 weeks. They finally got off their butts and actually translated the code.

It was decided that someone would stand up to her.

Who did she end up facing.

Twas Uyoga.

The toad sought out the robot in want of two things.

A worthy opponent and a sense of what's right.

They battled many a times. Obsidian clashing with calcite.

Samurai versus Powered Up sparkle dog looking Gearmo.

By the end of the battle. It was undecided on who won. All that mattered was that the calcite impaler broke.

All the powers were restored to their original owners.

And that one guy got his limbs reattached.

Where Is Vital now.

[puts on fake glasses]

Statistically she probably could be alive. As most of the fighting didn't break her physical chassis. And Gearmo have a roughly theoretical lifespan of 300 years. being most of the first gen models in the 1890s. 79% of them are still around. With only 3% dying from robotic failure. At the time that would have only been 92% of 1st Gen models existing with 1% from a robotic failure.

Even with her mildly attacked chassis, she what's considered unarmed to the point they let her wheel off without worry of Revenge in a serious way.

I think she could still be out there. I mean aside from it being only their first major bout of three. No one really knew where she went off to.

Honestly I'd be more worried about that calcite impaler.

The whole thing was carved from an enchanted Rock. And it was a big rock. Even if you didn't know where The Rock was, statistically there were some shards of the calcite impaler.

The big rock. I know it's like in some P.O.T.E. facility, but even I don't have access to one of those places. So I don't know the specific location.

I guess just be careful if you see vital for the calcite impaler.

The long tail twitched as if the alien had registered Gavin's voice.

The detective’s experience told him that a blow from the tail could break bones without any problem. No wonder the unknown alien had been able to injure Officer Brown in his turnout gear.

102. "Promise me you'll come back" for OptiRatch?

Drabble Prompts (AKA Luna needs a new hobby):

#102 “Promise me you’ll come back”

“The stars are so vibrant here...” Ratchet gasped out in wonder. “How did you even find a place like this?”

“Agent Fowler told me about it.” Optimus hummed, recalling the information. “It’s known for its low air and light pollution, and humans flock here for stargazing all the time.”

Ratchet’s optics flicked between the stars and the bot next to him, and he felt young for the first time in a long time as the warm Arizona air brushed past them. He then looked around, getting a rush of an idea. “Would you mind if I stepped away for a minute, Beloved?”

“Promise me you’ll come back?” Optimus half-joked, stealing a quick kiss. Ratchet just chuckled, returning the kiss and walking off.

He climbed down the hill a bit, rubbing his servos along whatever would catch on them just to feel it. He vented in, noting the flowers surrounding him. Something shiny caught in his peripheral vision, and he turned to it. A rather large piece of obsidian, barely shining under the starlight. He scooped it up, turning back up the hill with his servos behind his back.

“There you are.” Optimus smiled gently, watching Ratchet sit back down. “Did you go exploring for a bit, Starlight?”

“I wasn’t necessarily exploring.” Ratchet slowly offered the obsidian in his servo. Optimus’s eyes twinkled at the gesture, and he hesitantly reached for it. “Yes, yes, Optimus. It’s for you.”

Optimus grinned widely, feeling the smoothness of the glassy rock with his thumb as he took it into his own servo. He then dipped down to steal another kiss from Ratchet.

“I love it. Thank you, Old Friend.” Optimus hummed.

“Of course, Sweetspark.” Ratchet shifted to his knees to steal his own kisses from Optimus.

[bot-imagines]

I think you should continue the fusion au. Also not connected to the last one but what if during the reunion at the beginning of season 3 Jack and Miko fuse into Mack then when they go to hug Raf all 3 of them fuse?

(I’ve gotten a couple requests for something along the lines of an Alexandrite/Obsidian human fusion, so I wrote a quick thing for my take on a fusion of all three kids!)

Who Says Three's A Crowd?

Rafael sat nearby as Ratchet worked quickly on the Harbinger’s console, transmitting their coordinates to Agent Fowler. He fiddled with the seam of his shirt as he listened to Ratchet quickly explain their situation. 

Just then, Bumblebee came barging in, his optics wide. 

[Ratchet! I just caught sight of an incoming ship!]

Ratchet turned towards the scout, his expression changing to one of shock. “What?” He quickly disconnected the line and followed Bee out of the ship. Rafael leapt from his perch, running to keep up. He could hear the roar of a ship’s engine as they walked out into the open near the downed Decepticon ship. Rafael could just make out a large ship descending down from the cloud cover when Bee held out a servo to stop him.

[Stay back] he ordered. Rafael knew better than to argue. The ship activated its landing gear as it drew near.

“It’s one of ours!” Ratchet exclaimed. The ship’s thrusters pivoted to slow its decent, sending sand and dust flying in thick clouds. Rafael shut his eyes as he brought his arms up to cover his face. He heard the thud of the landing gear making contact with the rough terrain, followed by the dying whine of the engine. The dust began to settle, and Raf hesitantly glanced up. 

The ship was huge, even next to Bumblebee and Ratchet. There was a hiss and groan of metal as a lift of sorts began to descend, landing on the ground with a group of Autobots standing on it. Autobots and…

“Raf!” Rafael’s eyes brightened as he saw both Miko and Jack standing at the front with the others. Miko leapt off the platform and ran straight towards him. Raf smiled as he ran out to meet them halfway. Miko’s arms slipped around his middle before she lifted him up in a lung-crushing hug. He let a surprised laugh burst out as his glasses wobbled nose his nose. She set him down then, but kept her hands on his shoulders as she looked over him, seeming to be checking him for any injuries. 

“Girl’s got a grip, doesn’t she?” Jack chuckled. Rafael smirked at the teen as he walked up behind Miko. She stepped to the side to allow the boys to grasp hands and pull each other into a back-thumping hug. Jack pulled back and smiled down at Rafael, still squeezing his hand. Rafael felt like his heart was filled to bursting with relief and joy. They were safe. His friends were safe.

He saw Miko move out of the corner of his eye, and Raf turned just in time to see her wrap her arms around both of them, bringing them in for another hug. Both he and Jack gladly returned the gesture. Rafael’s cheeks ached with how much he was smiling. He felt so happy in this moment. So safe and complete.

And then he felt something else. 

It was warm, and bright, and it should have scared him, but he could only be happy as he let it encompass his whole body.

Bumblebee let out a buzz of awe as all three kids lit up and melded together, the light fading away to reveal a strange looking human that was at least a foot taller than Mack. Their hair was a wild, messy ponytail of black that faded into brown and pink in a strange sort of ombre. They had five eyes now - an extra pair under the normal ones, where their cheeks began, and the single eye in the middle of their forehead that Mack always had for some reason. They wore a large pair of glasses that covered the lower four eyes and it fell down the bridge of their nose.

Their clothes were an even odder mix-and-match of all three children’s outfits, creating a blend of bright colors, long, baggy sleeves, and scuffed up sneakers. The strangest thing though, was their arms. They had two arms set in the normal spot for a human, but underneath was another pair. It was an odd sight, and the new fusion quickly took notice of all of the optics on them.

“Well, uh,” Wheeljack said in an attempt to break the awkward silence, “That’s one way to say hi, I guess.”

The fusion smiled shyly as they pushed their glasses up the bridge of their nose with one of their four arms.

[What do we call you then?] Bee asked, and the fusion blinked in surprise, because they could understand him completely, which Miko and Jack hadn’t been able to do before. They glanced down at their hands and hummed in thought.

“I think… I might need some time to come up with something. Rafael, Jack, and Miko aren’t names that blend very well.” They held up their hands, their fingers laced together on either side as they smiled knowingly. “I think I like you…” they said softly to themself.

The Autobots went on with their greetings, happy to give the kids time to learn their new name and to become accustomed to this new, exciting thing they had become. Together.

-

(I tried to think of something to name this new fusion, but I honestly have no ideas)

Reunion

A/N: Lately, I’ve been thinking about writing my own version of the events after the revolution, more particularly, the scene where Hank and Connor reunite at the Chicken Feed and hug it out. Now, let’s enjoy some quality D:BH wholesomeness!

“Good job, Connor. I’m proud of you.”

‘Thank you, Hank. I greatly appreciate your help, but perhaps it’s best for you to return home and keep out of the crossfire of the war.”

“Yeah, you’re probably right. Meet me at the Chicken Feed when this is all over?”

“I’ll be there.”

“Yeah, you’d better be. And, uh... Connor?”

“Yes?”

“Um... good luck, and... don’t get yourself killed, okay?”

“Sure.”

Hank could remember the brief exchange he had with the RK800, who had overcome his programming and deviated not too long ago in the midst of the investigation before the two had parted ways (temporarily, the man had hoped). The discourse constantly ran through his mind on an everlasting loop, like a song being played on repeat. He retracted his phone from his pocket to find the current time period emblazoning his lock screen:

7:43 AM

Friday, November 12th

The man was currently standing out in front of the abandoned Chicken Feed food truck, paying no mind to the icy morning breeze that derived from the feverish snowfall that plagued the city of Detroit throughout the past several days. A million thoughts ran about through his mind, like a raging storm, contemplating the outcomes from the good to the bad. And given from the way he was fiddling with hands, Hank appeared to be more focused on the negative circumstances. 

While he was relieved - and secretly proud - to have seen a news broadcast featuring Connor marching through the streets with thousands of androids following behind, he was worried that the newfound deviant may have been killed at a later point.

“Daddy... I’m scared... i-it hurts!”

Hank all but stiffened as he distinctly recalled those spine-chilling words of his deceased son on the night that would haunt him for the rest of his life. The night where a truck skidded on the icy road and his car rolled over. The night where he’d waited for an ambulance as his son lay under the metallic debris. The night... where he could do nothing more than to watch his son die on a hospital bed, calling out to him in fear and pain.

He cast his gaze down to meet a lone piece of silver that stood out from the icy floor beneath him with its glare. It was a quarter. The quarter he confiscated from Connor just before they’ve ended their elevator ride in the Stratford Tower. It seemed to fallen out as he pulled out his phone.

“You’re really starting to piss me off with that coin, Connor.”

Hank failed to mask the bitter smile as he recalled himself snatching the coin out from the android’s hand in the midst of his calibrated coin trick, only to find himself trying his hand at it after abandoning the elevator. 

“Here. I’m not good at your damned coin tricks.”

“You played much better than me, Lieutenant. Keep it as a reward. I have more.”

“Fuck, you better be okay...”  Those words left his lips in a low whisper before he even realized it as he bent down to retrieve the coin, slipping it back into his pocket along with his cell phone.

Years of practice within the confines of the DPD Training Academy had given him the ability to better detect noises that could be naked to those considered to be of the norm. His ears were drawn to the sound of shoes crunching against the snow-capped ground with every step, prompting him to swivel to his left to find a seemingly younger man approaching him, only to stop at no more than five feet away from him. The flickering ring of light embedded into the right of his temple could easily distinguish him from a mere human.

Connor.

A few seconds of tense silence cut through the cool, late-autumn air, only for the tear to be patched by the face-splitting grin that crept unto Hank’s lips. Connor repeated the action and managed to form one of his own. Despite the seeming awkwardness that lingered within, even Hank could see the genuinity behind it.

Without even a sliver of hesitance, Hank strode along the gap that separated the two, closing the distance as he skidded to a halt just before the deviant. Placing a hand on his shoulder, he then pulled an awestruck Connor into him and enfolded him into the tightest bear hug he could manage.

While Connor was immensely surprised by the sudden display of affection and had no idea how to respond to it at first, he instinctively coiled his arms around the lieutenant’s back. He then proceeded to bury his face into the human’s shoulder, inhaling the scent of wet dog, cheap cologne, and alcohol that lingered from the obsidian-hued fabric of Hank’s heavy winter coat. He was rendered speechless, as this was the first time they have truly ever hugged. It wasn’t long before the android began to feel a warm, fuzzy sensation pooling within his core. To Connor, it felt... odd at first, but he soon came to take joy in this newly-developed feeling. He was... happy, as humans call it. He had missed Hank, but the deviant could only wonder if the man he had come to know as his partner felt the same.

The warmth of the shared embrace went on for a prolonged five minutes - neither of them saying a word - before they finally let go, only for Hank to grip Connor by the shoulders at arm’s length.

“Thank fuck, you’re alright,” Hank spoke up, finally severing the relentless silence between them. “I knew you could do it, Connor. When I saw you leading a march with all those androids on the news last night, I must’ve been grinning like an idiot. You have no fuckin’ idea as to how proud I am of you.”

Connor made no oscillation to give the lieutenant a wide smile at his kind words, the fuzzy sensations never ceasing. “Thank you, Lieutenant-”

“Hey, knock off the ‘Lieutenant’ bullshit! We ain’t at the precinct! Just call me Hank!”

Connor blinked owlishly for a brief moment as he quickly corrected himself. “...Of course, Hank. I must extend my gratitude towards you. Without your help, countless other androids and I would not be alive today. Perhaps, I would have remained a machine. While Markus had managed to persuade me to deviate, you were the main influence. Thank you.”

Hank stood in his place, frozen by the android’s testimonial words. “You’re welcome...” He sighed and retracted his hands from the other’s shoulders to fold his arms over his chest, his gaze never leaving the former deviant hunter. “So, you infiltrated the Cyberlife tower, led thousands of androids, and, overall, joined a pretty damn noble cause. Question is, what’re you gonna do next, Connor?”

The smile on Connor’s face instantly faded away and his LED transitioned to yellow as if he were attempting to excogitate his future, yet he seemed to be struck by absolute inconclusiveness. “I... I’m uncertain. I was made to pursue and neutralize deviants, and now that the revolution has ended... I don’t know what to do now.”

“You can apply for a job at the station. I sure could use a partner. That is, as soon as my three-week suspension is over. Fowler was pissed as soon as he found out I decked Perkins. Though, I would’ve decked him, diversion or not. He’s a jackass.” Hank couldn’t stop the wry smirk curling at his lips at the mere mnemonic of where he had to confront the federal agent in an act of divergence as he made his way to the archive. To say that he hadn’t wanted to throw at least one punch would be considered a calumny. However, he brushed those thoughts aside and changed the topic. “You’ve got a place to stay, don’t ‘cha?”

“A place?” Connor parroted softly, discombobulation lacing through the threads of his tone. “Well... I certainly cannot return to Cyberlife, especially after I’ve infiltrated their tower and allowed the numerous androids to escape. Jericho is out of the question as well, seeing as it is now in ruins. Additionally, crossing the border to Canada seems like a long shot. Therefore, I... have nowhere else to go...”

Hank couldn’t help but feel sorry for the younger man. However, an idea had blossomed from the back of his mind. It may have been absurd, at least, in the eyes of other humans, but he couldn’t live bearing the thought of the android meandering the streets like some lost puppy. “Y’know, there is another option...”

The yellow LED transitioning into a hopeful cyan, Connor instantly perked up as his auditory processors picked up on the man’s quip. “There is? What is it?”

“Movin’ in with me and Sumo,” Hank finished, freeing the kid from hanging in suspense, a warm grin spreading. 

“After everything that we’ve been through during the investigation... y-you would... invite me into your home?” Connor sputtered with great surprise, the joy lightly intertwining to conjure such flabergast.

“Jesus, for Cyberlife’s most advanced prototype, you sure as hell are dim,” Hank remarked with no real resentfulness as he slid a hand over his face, inhaling deeply before he decided to cast all his cares out of the window. “Yes, I’m invitin’ you into my home! God knows why, but Sumo’s damn near obsessed with you! He misses you! Hell, I missed you! Look, you’re not just my partner, you’re not just my friend, you’re... you’re my family.” 

“Family...?” Connor echoed softly, barely able to hear himself as he stood still, his awestruck expression never once faltering. The android seemed to be so immensely dazed that he could scarcely notice the hand waving in front of his gaping, chocolate eyes.

“Connor, are you still in there? Or did ya blow a fuse or somethin’?” The human’s words hadn’t reached his auditory processors as if they were mute.

Gradually, the feeling in Connor’s legs began to dissolve, leading him to drop to his knees, the snowy floor beginning lightly soak the lowermost of his pants.

“Holy shit!” Hank exclaimed with great shock, quickly sinking down onto his left knee, bending his right leg for support and clutching the android’s shoulders tightly. “You okay, son?” He asked gently, the grey-blue irises in his eyes frantically shifting over the awestricken deviant.

Son? The very phrase echoed through the depths of Connor’s data banks. D-Did he just refer to me as his son...? “I-I...” He sputtered, absolutely stunned by the man’s choice of words. He was, without a doubt, speechless. He had no clue as to what he should say next. “Hank, I-I-” He attempted to speak, only to be reeled into the same pair of warm arms once more, a gruff chuckle flying over his shoulder.

“Yes, you’re my family! What, you think I was kiddin’? Now, settle down before ya short out!” Hank wheezed after his bout of laughter as he seated his chin onto the tensed shoulder, patting the currently stiff muscles of the younger man’s back. “Fuckin’ android...”

Once Connor managed to take a few deep breaths, he immediately returned the favor and lassoed his arms around the plump waist tightly, but he was careful enough to not apply too much pressure, lest it serves as a barricade to the human’s oxygen supply. He leaned further into Hank’s arms and buried his face into the man’s opposing shoulder. At this rate, it seemed virtually impossible to falter the evergrowing beam from nearly splitting the wiring beneath the interior framing of his face. 

After an extensive five minutes, which felt longer to them, Hank broke the hug with a deep breath through his nostrils, grinning at the smiley android that stared back at him. With one last snicker, the older man rose to his feet, helping Connor onto his own with a tight grip on his shoulders. He sighed contentedly and wrapped an arm around his shoulders, pulling him into a side-hug as he led the bubbling android to his car. “Now, c’mon. Let’s go home. Sumo’ll lose his shit when he finds out we’ve got one more member of the family.”

To be continued...

Bat Out of Hell to Close

It has been announced that the West End production of Jim Steinman’s Bat out of Hell the Musical will close in the West End this January.

Bat Out of Hell tells the story of the “eternally young Strat and his underground gang of outcasts, The Lost, as they roam the streets of Obsidian, a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, which is ruled by the tyrannical leader Falco. When Strat first sets his eyes on Falco’s daughter, Raven, who  has been locked away in a high skyscraper, he knows he has to rescue her in a futuristic tale of hot blooded passion, youthful rebellion and living the rock and roll dream”.

The production includes popular Meatloaf songs such as I Would  Do Anything For Love (But I Wont Do That), Bat Out of Hell and Heaven Can Wait to name but a few.  To read our 4 star review of Bat Out of Hell click here.

Bat Out Of Hell – The Musical wowed critics and public alike when it played limited seasons at Manchester Opera House and London Coliseum earlier this year. It currently has audiences rocking out in Toronto, where performances will end on 7 January 2018.

Andrew Polec, winner of the Joe Allen Best West End Debut in the Stage Debut Awards 2017, and Christina Bennington are in positive negotiations to recreate their roles as the romantic leads, Strat and Raven, at the Dominion Theatre. Further casting is to be announced.

Bat Out Of Hell became one of the best-selling albums in history, selling over 50 million copies worldwide. 16 years later, Steinman scored again with Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell, which contained the massive hit I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That).

For the stage musical, the legendary and award-winning Jim Steinman has incorporated iconic songs from the Bat Out Of Hell albums, including You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth, Bat Out Of Hell, I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) and Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad, as well as two previously unreleased songs, What Part of My Body Hurts the Most and Not Allowed to Love.

Jim Steinman’s Bat Out Of Hell – The Musical is a romantic adventure about rebellious youth and passionate love, set against the backdrop of a post-cataclysmic city adrift from the mainland. Strat, the forever young leader of The Lost, has fallen for Raven, daughter of Falco, the tyrannical, ruler of Obsidian.

Bat Out Of Hell – The Musical has book, music and lyrics by Jim Steinman, direction by Jay Scheib, choreography by Emma Portner, with musical supervision and additional arrangements by Michael Reed, set design by Jon Bausor, costume design by Jon Bausor and Meentje Nielsen, video design by Finn Ross, lighting design by Patrick Woodroffe, sound design by Gareth Owen, orchestration by Steve Sidwell, casting by David Grindrod Associates and musical direction by Robert Emery.

Jim Steinman’s Bat Out Of Hell – The Musical is produced by David Sonenberg, Michael Cohl, Randy Lennox & Tony Smith.

With a multi award-winning creative team from the world of Theatre, Opera, Music and Film, this ‘jaw-dropping spectacle’ (Evening Standard) plays Toronto’s Ed Mirvish Theatre from 14 October 2017!

Title:  Inferno   Series: Dragons of Drake's Crossing Release Date: #AlreadyReleased Author: Amelia Jade Reviewer: Ingrid Stephanie Jordan Serial: Standalone, No Cliffhanger  Genre:#PRN  #DragonShifter  #4Stars 🌟⭐🌟🌟 ••••••••••••••       Oh my this is different yet I couldn't stop reading this page turner. Inferno is definitely a Must Read.               Hollie Fowler is Human that's back at her hometown of Drake’s Crossing. She's working on making a tunnel through the mountain for the railroad that will go to Drake's Crossing. Hollie loves it when she operates the heavy-duty machine called Big Betty. Digging in the mountain breaking through a thin wall they found something unbelievable.      Obsidian(Sid) (Obby) is a Dragon Shifter who has been happily sleeping for five hundred years. He woke up to loud noises, investigating what they are he runs into a life he never knew existed.      A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion. 

[batfambrainrotbeloved]

a random thing that a couple for days I imagined that obi, zeek, and gwen would know that alan was a fake identity like they don't know that he fucking ✨️ Timothy Drake ✨️ or what is his real ID but now he is a fake id and he's probably younger than he says and on rare occasions they treat him like h the group's baby, these are extremely small things but every time they happen the tim is like "???????" not in an uncomfortable way but out of pure confusion because where the fuck did thats come from

Brilliant idea!!- and ill give my personal insight to each

Zeek is convinced this guy is in some sort of protective custody because how the hell else did he meet this random guy who didn't look the least bit bothered about being mugged (even by Gothamite standards) and then suddenly he has a job?? His criminal record is cleared by system error??? Obviously he has connections.

Gwen just gets random "Big sister" moments- but coming from someone who has friends of all ages, thats normal even for older friends. Its just even stronger for her. (doesnt help Alan looks on the verge of tears everytime she does something nice for him) Just assumes hes running away from a bad home life and making a new name of himself

Obi just genuienly does not give a fuck- they are the monarch of minding their own damm buisness. Do they pick up on conflicting stories? Yes they arent oblivious. Are they going to ask? No. Alan is their friend and a reliable one at that, no need to poke their nose in buisness that isnt theirs.
