You groggily woke up, hugging your Cam the cat Squishmallow close to your chest in a fetal position. With a yawn, you pushed yourself up to stretch and pop your back. Man, that report really took it out of you. You looked at the time on your phone, seeing that it is 5 in the morning. You went to bed at 1 am. Lovely, you sarcastically thought with a grumble. I really need to have a better sleep schedule.

After your few seconds of contemplating your life, you got changed, not before switching out your old bandages for new ones. The burns are healing up good at least. You continued on with your routine: Brushing hair and teeth, applying deodorant, eating breakfast, and then given Nugget, Fry, and their children their food, giving each of them a peck on their heads- except Fry. You just pet his head.

Then, you arrive at the Milky Way restaurant with a fresh cup of coffee on the counter in your signature mug. Dad always makes the best coffee that can help give you a little pep in your step to keep up with customers and the long hours. it continues like any other day would. You see regulars, new faces, children ordering breakfast to take with them to school, adults who are on their lunch breaks, and a couple who are having a dinner date.

That almost reminds you of the messages you've been getting on your channel. The only thing you know about them is that their profile, their username being Vagabond_Hunter423, features a symbol of a golden bird in a red rose-colored background, and that on every video on the channel that features you alone, they always leave a cute poem or two. It makes you feel a little giddy and flustered at their compliments; As if you're in one of those teen romance movies where the main girl has a secret admirer.

You feel your phone buzz in your back pocket. Speaking of which...

You finished giving Mrs. Argor, a nice old lady that is a regular, a cup of tea when you pulled out your phone to see a certain notification. It's him! Tapping on the notification, you were taken to an app that you post selfies of your raccoon family. The post the comment was on showed an image of one of the babies, Biscuit (due to her having normal but lighter fur that was so excessive that she looks like a ball of fluff), earlier this morning with a dandelion flower on her head as she stared off into space, as if she had unlocked all the secrets of the universe despite having no braincells. You opened the comment section and saw that Vagabond_Hunter423 at the top.

You are the siren that calls And a willing sailor, I fall To be temptation incarnate Forever to you, I dedicate

You cover your the smile that spread across your lips, looking off to the side with a flustered chuckle. They have been sending these types of poems to you for a few days now, and you couldn't help but gush at how romantic they are. "I recognize that expression," Mrs. Argor speaks up, snapping you out of the clouds. "You got a crush~" She says in a singing tone to tease. You felt your heart drop, knowing what's next. The thing about Mrs. Argor, she is quite... open about her younger years. "Mrs. Argor, please, no-" "It reminds me when I was your age," she interrupts. Here we go, for the umpteenth time, you sigh, mentally praying to whatever god or gods exist to get you out of this situation.

You then remember that this time, looking down at the Metal Breath, you're not alone. Your heart drops to your stomach with dread. OH, NO!! Mrs. Oats wistfully sighs before taking a sip of her Oolong Tea. "I remember, back then, I was attracting all the young men beyond the block. Even a few ladies too~"

You let your head fall into your hands in embarrassment. "Mrs. Oats, please...!"

"Oh, you should've seen me back then!" She happily exclaims as she digs around in her big, vintage, designer leather bag with a logo of a famous company that went bankrupt a few years before you were born. "I even got the photo in my purse." Before you could even protest, having already seen it over a hundred times now since you've worked here, she places it in your hands.

In the picture, it was a tall woman that was downright gorgeous black woman in a night club with a well-kept afro that covered her eyes in a lovely, shimmering silver disco-style suit with a V-shaped collar that ended in the middle of her torso and rhinestone platform heels. Next to her was a small, pale woman in a gold sequence jumpsuit with glittered wedge heels and arms decked with various gold bracelets that definitely cost more than your parent's house.

"Me and Jennifer were basically queens of our small town, and if anyone hurt anyone we cared for, we'd send our paparazzi to handle the punks." She takes a long sip of her drink, almost as if she was chugging whatever was left inside. "If you'd like, I can give you some advice to get him to swoon so hard, he'll start to send you lovely gifts too, maybe even flowers. Who knows! Maybe even show his face." She suggests, wiggling her grayed brows. "Mrs. Oats, don't you have your wife to get back to? You know, for your anniversary tomorrow?" You reminded as you handed her back the photo of said two, hoping this will make her leave.

"Yes, yes, I know, I don't need to be reminded of my favorite day of the year. Who would've thought that the love of my life was my bestie since our freshman year of high school?" She happily sighed as she stuffed it delicately in her purse. "Good luck with that secret admirer of yours, dearie. If you two do end up together, make sure you show him who's the dom and p-" "OKAY!!" You shout with a flushed face, clapping your hands together. Call you a prude or whatever, you don't care; this shouldn't be talked about ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC!! You love her, but you can't handle what you know she's going to imply. "I think I hear my mom calling for me in the back. It was nice seeing you, Mrs. Oats!" Immediately, you made a run for it to the storage area before she could call you out on your bull.

Well, it could've been worse. Mrs. Oats could've gone into heavy detail about her and her wife's... intimate escapades. Shadow X's head projected from the Metal Breath. "She seems like a nice human. But, what was she talking about?" He asks with innocent curiosity. "When you're older!" You emphasized, pushing his holographic head back into the relic.

Now that you were, technically, alone, you let out a breath you were holding. As you tried to calm down, you felt another vibration in your back pocket. Pulling it out and opening it, you found it was an email from the guy addressed to you- not in the form of a poem, but an actual message.

"Hello, my dear rose. I am Fleta from Belmeha Island. From the moment I first saw you, I could tell that you have a beautiful soul. I just want to let you know that I will be arriving in Mowtown tomorrow. Hope to see that you are just as beautiful, if not more, than behind a screen." And that was it, leaving your speechless. Your secret admirer is coming to Mowtown tomorrow... And he's expecting to at least see you during his visit...

Outside of the storage room, Johan Grant, was flipping some patties for an order, casually humming a tune like any person would. Just as your dad scooped up one of the patties to put on the bun-

"WHAT?!?!"

He jumped, accidentally tossing the patty behind him and it landed in the sink with the customer's dirty dishes. He looked over to where the yell came from, concerned before looking around for the missing patty, confused by it's sudden disappearance. Yuri Grant, your mom, was about to dump another dirty dish when she noticed a patty on the bottom in the soapy water. She deadpanned, looking back at her husband as he continued to look around.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why are you going along with this? You don't know what he looks like or if he has good intentions!" Jun scolded from outside of the bathroom. "If that's the case," you say as you brush out any tangles in your hair, "I can just leave. If he tries anything, I'll just call the cops." You set the brush back on the counter, pulling out a hair tie to put it in a low ponytail (if it can be; no ponytail for those with really short hair) from a little baggie next to it. "But what if he does something to you before you could and kidnaps you?" He questions. "I trust that our friends will be able to locate me." You replied.

"Since when did you have friends?"

"Oh, ha-ha, very funny," You sarcastically grumbled, rolling your eyes at the jab. "You know what I mean. The Metal Cardbots." Jun walked over to a window that peered into the back yard to see a few Cardbots in question.

Shadow X is currently distracted with Soda Pop nibbling on his fingertip and Nacho and Burger curled up next to his neck cables, Dexter giving BBQ chin scritches as he coos at the little baby, and Mega Trucker shifting between giving Nacho belly rubs and playing peek-a-boo. Jun sweat drops, moving away from the window "Yeah..." He drags out. "Believe me, I installed a tracker on my phone so Blue Cop will know of my whereabouts." You informed as you applied some makeup. Not that much, just some eyeshadow, blush, and mascara is all.

Jun hums, crossing his arms. He does trust Blue Cop more with your safety...

You exited, showing that you were in a black crop top jacket (with long sleeves to hide the bandages), a mulled wine shirt with a small, vivid cerise heart on the chest, dark slate blue jeans and really dark bluish-grey shoes. After leaving the bathroom, you picked up your bag next to the door. "Any way, I'll be at the park," you say as you head to the stairs. "Make sure that the Cardbots don't get into any trouble! Bye Jun!" You concluded, shutting the door behind you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jun has taken note that Crest might be onto them since that the Cardbots have failed being hidden. So, it leads up to now, in the garage in Edo Motors- Special training he calls it.

"Alright!" Jun announces to the four Cardbots in front of him. "You're all here to train to transform into a vehicle mode or hide before people see you!"

"We are ready!" Blue Cop declared, Dexter, Shadow X and Mega Trucker backing him up. "Well... get into action as soon as I turn around, okay?" Jun instructs as he turns his back to them. "1... 2... 3- GO!" He whips his head around, only to be met with disappointing results.

"Dexter... go in or come out. You have to pick one." Jun says, seeing the excavator bot upside down in the ground with his legs dangling in the air. "Mega Trucker, I see you!" Jun shouts, seeing the dump truck bot hiding behind a giant whiteboard. "Blue Cop, it's like as if you didn't even try," the boy comments, seeing Blue Cop lying on his stomach, hiding his head under his arms.

"None of you passed!" Jun announces. Wait a minute, he thinks to himself as he looks around. "Where is Shadow X, though?" He asks.

Right above the group, the Cardbot in question was dangling from the support beams on the ceiling, legs close to his chassis. "You need to be fast, just like m- WAAH!!" He boasts before losing his grip and fell hard on the ground. Jun facepalms in dissatisfaction. "You could have just used your stealth mode, Shadow X," He reminds with a grumble. "You flunk the test too."

"Jun," Blue Cop calls out, "I understand that we're doing this because to try and be better at hiding ourselves in public from humans, but you sound... upset. Is something wrong?" Jun sighs, his furrowed brows becoming loose in tension. "It's [Insert Name]. Basically, she's going on a date with this guy online that's a fan of hers." He informs. "Don't you mean hanging out?" Edo corrects. After all, there's no romantic intentions- at least from you. "Eh, potato, po-tat-o! And he keeps sending her these love poems, so yeah, I bet this guy sees it as a date." Jun groans.

"What's a date?" Shadow X asks. Theo stepped forward, adjusting his glasses. "It's where two people spend time together to see if they want to be in a romantic relationship." He explains. "If things go well and with sometime later, get married and live happily ever after together!" Anna adds with a smile. "Oh, like a sparkmate ritual?" Dexter questions. "You know what? Sure, I guess." Jun shrugs, already wanting to drop this.

Blue Cop was left lost in his thoughts. On a date... meaning sparkmate ritual...

In a cartoonish format, he imagines you and this mysterious human meet, and you fall in love at first sight with hearts surrounding you both with a giant one directly behind you two. You then snap out of it, taking off the Metal Breath to observe it. With a shrug, you tossed it in a cardboard box and kicked said box to the curb. "Now I spend the rest of my life with my lover!" You say, returning to the mysterious human where you two runaway, hand in hand. Meanwhile, Blue Cop's head projects from the crystal watching your forms get smaller and smaller with teary eyes as he calls your name. He was left ignored, seemingly as if you were far happier without them. Better without... him...

He doesn't want to lose you.

"Jun," Blue Cop says, pushing himself to his pedes. "I got an idea."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which leads them to where they are now.

You were at the park, sitting on a bench as you check your phone, noting that it has been a while from then to now. But, then again, you are rather early at the meet-up spot.

Behind the bench you were sitting on at a good distance away is where Blue Cop was parked. In the driver's seat, Jun watched intently with a pair of binoculars. "First, we need to find who was it that sent your sister the email." Blue Cop advised.

In the passenger seat, Theo munched on an Uncrustable with a juice box in another hand. "A strange kind of place to meet a guest from overseas." He comments before taking a bite of the crustless sandwich. "Yeah, it's not even a coffee shop. It's a little strange..." Jun hums, lowering the binoculars.

"Are we sure this is a good idea to be doing this? It seems like an invasion of privacy." Theo asks. "Uhh," Blue Cop drags out, trying to think of a good excuse. "Y-Yes! Because we don't know if this... mysterious human is good or not. And it is my job as the last Star Guardian to protect the one who wields the Metal Breath from any harm." He says. Theo hums, taking a sip from his juice box, "I guess that makes sense..."

Blue Cop sighs in relief.

The moment was interrupted by the sound of a round of light knocks on the window. Turning their heads, Jun and Theo jumped in surprise when they saw Crest just outside the car. "What are you guys doing here?" Crest questions as the two boys exit Blue Cop's vehicle form.

"Well... we are..."

"We are... lost, you see?" Jun speaks up, "the police officer told us to wait here while he calls our parents!" Theo leans over, speaking with a forced smile. "That is the worst lie ever..." He whispers.

"JUN!!" They heard. They turned their heads to see you calmly stomping your way over from the crosswalk, a tight, strained, closed-eyed grin on your face as you got closer and closer. Once you were right next to them, Jun and Theo could feel the heat of anger and annoyance radiating off you as you spoke through clenched teeth. "What are you two doing here?"

"Hello, [Insert Name]," Crest greeted, snapping out of it. "Oh! Hey, Crest... didn't expect you to be here." You say with a raised brow. "They told me they're lost." The turquoise-haired boy explained. Your eyebrow twitched, slowly turning your head to the two boys. "Are they now? Isn't the school supposed to be around the corner?" You rhetorically asked with a bit of sharpness in your voice. The two boys twiddled their thumbs, knowing that you caught them.

"Uh, anyway," Jun said, "weren't you supposed to have a date that stalker that's obsessed over you?" He questioned. "Okay, one, he's not a stalker- at least, I hope he isn't," you state, "and second, it's not a date! He's new to Mowtown, so I am just assuming that he's a flatterer and was hoping to have a guide of our hometown. So, I am just going to be giving him a proper welcome and introduce what Mowtown has to offer. Besides," you gestured over to the park, "we agreed to meet here."

"Here?" Jun questioned.

Just then, a notification came through your phone. You pulled it out of your bag, seeing a message. "And it seems that he's here!" You announced. "So, if you and Theo would stop playing stakeout and go... home...?" You say, but soon hesitated as the sound of something passing through the air. Almost like a plane. And it was coming from behind.

Turning around, you see a massive cargo aircraft just ahead that descended downwards. That wouldn't be an issue for two reasons: There is no airport in this section of the city, and it is heading directly coming to where you four were and fast. "He's arriving in that...?" Crest asked curiously with a hint of uncertainty.

Your Metal Breath pings in alarm. "Careful!" Blue Cop whispers in his disguise. "That plane is..." You squinted, cupping a hand over your eyes to block the sun to get a better view of the air vehicle. As it got closer, you can make out the details of it. It was as black as a raven with a gold nose and highlights. But what you instantly noticed was the green eyes it had. "A Cardbot..." You muttered under your breath.

Civilians noticed the plane that arrived closer and closer, and fearing the worst, they fled. Blue Cop drove off to heard them away. "Alearting all pedestrians! Please evacuate the area right now!"

The plane got closer and closer to the point your shielded the children with your body in case this Metal Cardbot was having issues transforming and was going to crash. But that thought was instantly proven wrong as, just before it was about to touch the ground by almost a few meters, they transformed, soaring past you with a flip and landed on their pedes.

You stepped closer as the Cardbot slowly stood up straight, their wings finishing the last bit of their transformation. It was then they turned around, revealing that they had a eagle-themed helm with bold, red accents and a golden-orange marking on their chest in the form of a soaring bird- the exact... same... one as Vagabond_Hunter423.

This... is him?

You could help but stare in shock. This whole time, you were talking with-

You train of thought was cut off when the avian-themed Cardbot knelt on one knee. "Nice to meet you in person, my camellia," He greets in a gentle tone of voice. "And it seems my expectations were correct- You are far more beautiful in person."

Oh, my..., you couldn't help but flush at the lovely sound of his voice as he called you that. You remember, in your teen years, you had a fixation on flowers and their meanings.

Camellia, part of the Theaceae family. They come in colors ranging from white and pink to deep red, sometimes even yellow. The camellia flower symbolizes everlasting love and devotion.

You shook your head, you're getting distracted. "Who are you?" You ask. "My name is Fleta Z," He introduces, "and I have something to confess to you."

"I'm guessing it's in the form of a short poem?" You queried with a chuckle. He chuckles back with crescent optics, responding with a curt nod. "Roses are red," In his right servo, he stretches it out forward, revealing a single, red, rose, for you to take.

Roses, part of the Rosaceae family. They come in colors naturally ranging in pink, white, yellow, orange, lavender, and commonly red; other colors are genetically engineered. Red roses are infamously known for being a symbol of love and romance to where they are an essential gift on Valentines Day.

You carefully take it as he continues, noting that it has been stripped of its thorns. "Cornflowers are blue, you are stuck in my head"

"Because I am in love with you."

You four froze at his confession in shock, but your shifted to be flustered- your cheeks and ear tips flushing red. "Y-You mean-" Theo gasps. "This guy's the obsessed stalker?!" Jun exclaimed. Your cheeks and ear tips turned redder in embarrassment.

"I-I-"

"FLETA Z!!" Blue Cop yelled as he came hurtling down the road, transforming into his robot-form and ran the rest of the way. "Stop doing things that alarm the people of this planet!" He scolds as the avian Cardbot looked at him curiously. He's surprised to see a Star Guardian after Machina's explosion. "We've been living among them after losing our home-" "Blue Cop!" Jun called.

Blue Cop looked over, seeing the two boys gesturing behind them is when he took notice of Crest. Realizing his mistake, he quickly transforms. "Landing is not permitted in this area. Please evacuate the area immediately." He robotically said.

You raised a brow. "Uh, what is he doing?" You asked. "He's supposed to be in disguise because Crest is here!" Jun whispers. "Why? Didn't you realize it? Crest knows." You say. Your little brother turned to you in shock. "What do you mean he knows?!"

"How have you not figured it out?!" You shout, grabbing him by the shoulders and aggressively shook him. "He's been with Wildy Guardy the whole time! How have you not picked up on the clues?!" Crest crosses his arms, chuckling in amusement. "I'm surprised you figured it out so quickly."

You turned to him with a deadpanned expression as you released your brother, "I work parttime at Mowtown Times as a journalist. Of course I'm going to easily put two-and-two together." Seeing that there was no reason to hide anymore, Blue Cop transforms defeatedly.

"Hey, you!" Jun shouts, pointing at Fleta Z. "You mean me?" He asks. "Why did you send my sister the email? What is it that you really want?" Jun interrogated.

Blue Cop froze at the information in shock. This Cardbot, his raises his helm to look at Fleta Z, is the one that's been sending the messages?! Glass shattering could be heard as his mind went back to that cartoonish imagination-

The mysterious human replaced with Fleta Z and you in the avian's palm, giving him a kiss on the cheek, the scenario playing out like he'd imagined before. He shook his helm with a new goal in mind; he cannot lose you to another's advancements.

"What do you mean?" Fleta Z questioned. "Like I said earlier... I am in love with her." His chest plate opens up, dropping a flute into his servos to raise it up to where a mouth would be. "She is... my dahlia of light."

Dahlia, part of the Asteraceae family. They come in a spectrum of colors such as white, yellow, orange, pink, red, purple, lavender, black, and multi-colored blends. They represent inner strength, commitment, grace under pressure, and positive life changes.

You flush again, covering your mouth your free hand as you turned your head to the side. "A flute?" Jun questioned as Fleta Z began to play. "But he doesn't even have a mouth...?" Theo pointed out. "It's a long story," the Metal Cardbot says, the musical melody never once stopping.

"He even talks while playing the flute..."

Jun was left ignored as the avian-themed Cardbot went on to explain his story.

When he had crash landed on Earth, it was on Belmeha Island- on the opposite side of the world. He arrived alone and couldn't sense any other Metal Cardbot that could've landed on the same island. Searching high and low throughout the island's jungle, he couldn't find anyone and was left disheartened. But, he was fortunate to have company with the local wild birds, passing the time by playing the flute in their company. It wasn't until one day that everything changed- An oblivious tourist visited the island. When she took noticed of Fleta's presence, she ran away, leaving only her phone behind. He was able to operate the small device and learned about the planet through the Internet. It was there that he found a video of Blue Cop; It was there that he found that he wasn't alone on this planet. He stalked the Internet in hopes of finding possibly more when he came across your channel, came across you, came across to find out that you had an artifact of Deus Machina in your possession.

"So, you thought that you would be able to find your fellow Metal Cardbots if you met [Insert Name]. Isn't that right?" Crest questioned. "Yes," Fleta Z admitted. "Well, in that case," you spoke up, "you're very much welcome here." You turned around, "Right, Bluey?"

"Yes. Let's work together to allow the Metal Cardbots and humans to coexist peacefully." The Star Guardian confirms, offering his servo to Fleta Z.

"I refuse."

Uhh... what?

"What do you mean?" Blue Cop asks. "I wondered by watching these videos... Why do these Metal Cardbots have to live in hiding?" He answered. You stepped forward, "If we reveal the presence of Cardbots so suddenly, it will send the human population into a panic. I just need time to come up with a plan-" "We need to have some patience? I'm not buying it." He said, standing up now.

"Why are we the only ones who have to hide?"

"What exactly is your point here?" Blue cop asked. Fleta Z looked down at you, "You said you wanted humans and Metal Cardbots to coexist, right? So, we should be able to show ourselves in public and not have to hide." He states.

You opened you bag to put the rose in before looking back up at the hunter. "I don't want to hide any of you either, but... I don't have a choice! What if someone gets hurt from the hysteria, Cardbot or human? It would do more harm than good for both parties! I don't want that to happen to anyone-"

"Oh, my dear lily, I understand that you are doing this out of obligation of being the holder of the Metal Breath- For be associated with a Star Guardian that wants us imprisoned! So understand that I have to do this." He says, raising his arm and summoning his Weapon Card in the form of a translucent sea-green archer's bow.

Lily, part of the Liliaceae family. They come in a wide range of colors that include white, pink, yellow, orange, red, purple, and many bi-colored or patterned varieties. White lillies are most common, representing purity, innocence, and spiritual awakening.

"I- What?"

He pulls the drawstring back, summoning an arrow of energy, aimed directly at you. "Surrender the Metal Breath so we may all be free! If not... I'll take it by force."

You held your hand behind you to keep the children back, raising your other in front of you. "Hold on, we can talk about this-"

"Beak Arrow!"

Your vision flashed to a different scenery- a desert. And instead of seeing an arrow coming your way, you see a laser, feeling the heat as it got closer before it blinds your vision. Your heart dropped to your stomach in terror.

"No!" You shouted, ducking with your hands over your head, awaiting for a world of hurt. But, nothing came. Opening your eyes and lifting your head up, you saw that Blue Cop took the arrow for you. "Blue Cop!" You exclaimed in a panic. "It's just a little scratch. It's nothing." He assures after seeing fear fill your eyes.

Despite still being shaken up, you stood up with a worried look on your face. "I appreciate the save, Blue, but don't be reckless like that again. Return!" You had the Metal Breath shoot a ray at the Star Guardian to seal him. Mega Trucker's head projected through the crystal. "Leave it to me, missy!" You gave him a curt nod, taking out his Metal Card. "Let's go, Mega Trucker!" Mega Trucker was summoned to the battlefield with his Mega Protecter as the little boys ran off to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

"Hey! Big guys like you don't have to cheat like that!" Mega Trucker exclaimed. Fleta Z lowered his bow, humming in thought. "You have a point. You can attack first this time." The hunter offered.

You observed with shaking, heavy, breaths, your limbs trembling as you ignored the ache of your burns at sight of that memory flashing before your eyes. You just want to get out of here. Away from him. "Mega Trucker, Mega Power Tackle!" The football Cardbot charged as his shield glowed.

"MEGA POWER TACKLE!!"

However, the attack didn't land for Fleta Z jumped high into the air with his thrusters, causing Mega Trucker to run past him. "Are you running away?" Mega Trucker mocked. The hunter turned to face his opponent, pulling back the drawstring and summoned three arrows, "I never said I would let it land!" He states, releasing them. Luckily, they were easily blocked. "That's nothing to me!" Mega Trucker boasts.

Fleta Z pulled back the string, summoning a single arrow. "It you think that was all, you are mistaken!" He released the arrow, making Mega Trucker lift his shield but the arrow soared past him. He lifts his head, confused by that attack but not at all worried. "There's no need to even block!"

No, there is, you think, eyes widening as the arrow flew up into the sky and back down, targeting Mega Trucker's back. "Behind you!" You yelled in warning. "Huh? Wha-" He turned his head, looking behind him only to immediately be struck by that arrow in his right shoulder, making him shout in pain and fall to his knees.

Unfortunately, Fleta Z wasn't done. He pulled the drawstring back, summoning another arrow. "You got to stay focused!" He advised as he released fired the arrow, darting through the air so fast that Mega Trucker didn't have time to move before it struck him wither his left arm meets his body.

Fearing his safety, you pulled Mega Trucker from the fight and returned him to the Metal Breath.

From afar, the children watched. Jun furrowed his eyebrows. He's never seen you like this before. Seen you so... afraid. But why? He couldn't put his finger on it, but something about your fear was off when Fleta Z released that arrow. People don't normally freeze up like that. Something is wrong that you're not telling him. What aren't you telling him?

"It's not safe here," Theo says, trying to pull Crest away from this scene, "let's go somewhere else!" Jun nods along. "I'm gonna stay here. Looks like the fun has just begun." Crest says, which surprises the duo. "E-Excuse me?" Jun questioned. What is that supposed to mean? "You know... I want to see what she's guarding." He hums as you summoned Shadow X. "Guarding... what?" Theo asked.

"Shadow X, Spinning Cutter!" The shinobi bot ran forward, "Spinning Cutter!" He shouts, throwing an energy shuriken at the hunter. But Fleta Z dodged by flying higher, to which he dives back down- now in his plane form. He turns sideways so one of his wings would strike the ninja Cardbot, to which Shadow X dodges with a barrel roll, watching as Fleta gets farther away.

"You won't escape me that easily!" Shadow X shouts, transforming into his helicopter form. "Be careful out there," You advise, taking out an earbud to communicate with the young Cardbot. "Relax! Aerial battles are my forte!" He assures, flying after Fleta Z to which he catches up. His presence was noticed by the hunter.

"Looks like you haven't figured it out," Fleta Z hums. "I'm vastly superior in every way. Speed, and cruising distance!" He states. "What was that?" The young Cardbot questions. Immediately, Fleta Z goes backwards, almost hitting Shadow X in the process. Once he was far away, he transforms back into his robot form, pulling back the drawstring of his bow. "As well as mobility. Goodbye, then."

The arrow launched, leaving you to hear Shadow X's scream of pain on the other end. You reached a hand up to the listening device, "Shadow!" You called with worry. "Are you alright? Please, respond!" You received nothing but static in response. Maybe he can hear you, but the connection won't let you hear him? "I'll come get you! Just hang in there!" You say.

Just as you were about to go searching for him, the sound of jet engines became louder behind you. You whipped your head around to see Fleta Z hovering a meter above the ground. "Because of the Metal Breath," he says, "given to the chosen one by the great Deus Machina, us Metal Cardbots will never have our freedom."

He drops to the ground, holding his servo out. "Please hand over the Metal Breath, little lilac."

Lilac is part of the Oleaceae family. They most commonly appear in purple and lavender, but they also come in white, pink, blue, and magenta colors. Lilac represents first love, youthful innocence, renewal and springtime.

"I'll take over this time!"

"No, I'll do it!"

"Hold on," Mega Ambler speaks up from the Metal Breath. "You will only become targets if you don't have a strategy against those arrows of light." You hummed in agreement, look up to his bow. I need to think of a plan to break it! "Now, hurry!" Fleta Z urged impatiently.

You held the Metal Breath close to your chest. "I... refuse!" Fleta Z raised a brow, "I'm sorry, what?" You meet his optics with a glare, "You heard me, or do I have to spell it out for you? I'm not giving this up! It is a symbol of the bonds I have made, especially with Blue Cop!"

"[Insert name]..." Blue Cop mutters from within the Metal Breath, taken aback by your devotion to the connections you've made with not only the Metal Cardbots you've met along the way, but also him specifically. For some reason, his spark skips a beat along with a desire to strengthen it farther.

As for Fleta Z, his spark twisted tightly, burning with envy. "I see..." He says, pulling the drawstring, the arrow's glowing tip aimed in your direction. "How touching."

"So I see..." Crest hums, "that's what she wants to guard." Jun raised an eyebrow, confused. "Come! Wild Guardy!" Crest yells, shocking the two boys. You whipped your head around as the Cardbot in question drifts around the corner, watching Wild Guardy with a slight glare. I was right, you think to yourself.

Just as you were distracted, Fleta Z released the arrow, the sound of it cutting through the air, snapping you back into the fight. Before you know it, Wild Guardy swerved around you, transforming into his robot form, shielding you from Fleta's arrow which shattered upon impact of the shield.

"Who are you?!" Fleta Z asks in surprise. You were also surprised, not expecting him to protect you.

"What is going on now?!" Jun yells.

TO BE CONTINUED...

*Note to audience, if you're confused by Fleta Z's behavior towards Reader, it is because he thinks that the good of her heart is being manipulated by Blue Cop. As for when he was aiming an arrow at Reader, he was really aiming for the Metal Breath so it would be forced off if you didn't give it up.

A few days have passed since Dexter escaped capture, and ever since then, you all have been on the lookout for him. And, much to your chagrin, with Crest of all people. But, then again, he possibly doesn't know that you know that he knows about the Metal Cardbots.

Speaking of Crest, he only suffered a minor head injury.

You, Jun and his friends were at Crest's place. They were impressed with the remote-controlled camera drone that the young boy demonstrates. While the children were in awe of Crest's drone, you were distracted with your thoughts, staring off into the distance where the edge of the ocean and sky meet.

I wonder how much he knows about the Metal Cardbots, you think to yourself, glancing over to the kid in question as Anna and Theo try to convince him that the whole mission is too dangerous to go through with. "That robot said it hated humans, though. We can't just ignore it." He says.

The memory of him interacting with Dexter rang in your head, he didn't seem surprised at all. Either he was very good at concealing his fear, or...

"That's none of my business," Wild Guardy sneers. "That pile of metal hurt my friend!"

There's also the matter of Sebastian... You look over towards the butler robot, who held a tray of refreshments. Crest said he was informed by him that we lost Dexter. That wouldn't be a problem if he was actually there. If I remember correctly -- in this case, you do -- Sebastian was left behind with the vehicles and had taken Crest to safety. So, how could he have known? He couldn't have been in two places at once. This leaves only one conclusion, you glance back to Crest sharply with suspicion, not only does Crest knew about the Metal Cardbots the whole time, but he's affiliated with Wild Guardy.

The ground rumbled, almost causing you all to fall over. But just as quickly as it came, it quickly ended. Everyone on the balcony rushed over to peer over the guardrail. In the middle of the road was a giant hole, as if something busted through from below.

You stepped away from the railing and went inside when your Metal Breath started to beep with a green hue. Once you found a good place to be that's out of sight, you pulled out an earbud. "Mega Ambler? What's the matter?" You asked into the Metal Breath.

"It's an emergency. The pipes burst and water is getting everywhere. I have no idea how it happened." The medic Cardbot informs. He was in the residential area of Mowtown, and in the middle of the road, there was a hole that was shooting out water like a geyser.

Elsewhere, there was another sinkhole with a burning vehicle next to it. Fortunately, Phoenix Fire was able to report to the scene. He transforms into his robot form and uses his Aqua Cannon to put out the fire. "There's a sinkhole here too. I can't handle this by myself!" Phoenix Fire says. "Somebody come help, please!"

"Alright. I'll be there right away," answers Blue Cop.

Behind Phoenix Fire, a drill bursts from the road, making another sinkhole. And out climbs Dexter. "Dexter?!" The firefighter calls out. "Who is it?!" Dexter shouts back, squinting his optics as he couldn't make out the figure in front of him.

"So you've been causing the sinkholes in Mowtown!" Phoenix Fire accuses. "Shut up!" Dexter yells, firing a laser from his Metal Card. Luckily, Phoenix Fire was able to roll out of the way. Unfortunately, it caused the flaming truck that he was trying to put out to explode. When the firefighter Metal Cardbot looked up, Dexter was gone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I understand. Stay safe out there." You ended the call with the firefighter.

"What's going on?" Your brother asks worryingly. "Dexter is what's going on." You state. "Wasn't he trying to protect the animals?" Theo asks. "Why did he come all the way to Mowtown?" Anna questions.

"I think it might be trying to destroy the roads to protect the animals," Crest suggests, seemingly appearing out of nowhere which caused you to jump. He should really wear a bell at this point because this is just ridiculous, you mentally sighed. He continued, "People aren't stopping the road construction despite all the warnings, so it's trying to destroy all the roads to protect the animals."

You hum in thought, since that there are countless sinkholes being made in the roads, perhaps there's a pattern. "Can you show me a map of Mowtown?" You requested.

Crest led you all back to the living room. On the TV screen was the town's map, and with it, all the sinkhole locations stemming from earliest to latest creation. The results exposed that there was no apparent pattern; just random, sporadic places.

Then again... He got injured by that attack by Wild Guardy, making the nature-loving Cardbot basically blind. If what Crest suggested was true, then he must also not even know where he, himself, is.

This conclusion you voice to the others. "Isn't that... all the more reason to destroy the robot? So we can prevent it from causing more damage?" Crest questions, making you do a double take. There's no way he suggested such a thing. Your eyebrows furrow, and the fact that he's been referring Dexter as it, as if he has no identity or individuality.

"He's not a robot!" You exclaimed, "He's a sentient, living being with his own thoughts and emotions. We should try our best to talk to him, or else we'd risk causing further aggression from him. And that will only lead to further harm!"

"You sure that's the right decision? It doesn't seem like he'd be willing to listen to us." Jun asks. "Dexter is right in wanting to protect the animals, but he's going about the wrong way." You say. "What if he won't listen?" Anna questions worriedly. "Then we go about the way we always do; We fight." And by 'we' I mean me and the Metal Cardbots, you think to yourself.

"Whether you want to talk or fight," Crest spoke up, "you have to find it first. How will you find it when it's burrowed deep underground?"

"Don't worry. I already have a plan. I call it, 'Operation Underground Battle'!"

"Operation Underground Battle?"

You nodded before turning to Crest, placing a hand on his shoulder, "And I'm gonna need your help!" Because, despite being associated with Wild Guardy, he is the only one who can get his hands on the tools we need.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A little bit later, you have now acquired a camera drone.

"What is that on top of the drone?" Theo questions, pointing to the rectangular shape on top of it. "Supposedly, it's an ultrasound generator. It is used to repel moles." You informed. "But how is it meant to help us?" Jun asks. "Simple. Since that he's blind, he's gonna have to rely on the next best thing: Sound. We put it in a sinkhole, and have it blast some sound to scare him out of the ground. Think of it as playing the sound of an animal's natural predator.

Anna unfurled a map, "The map of the sewers! It got it from my dad." She tells proudly. "Thanks, Anna." You say. "Question," Theo speaks up, "will the drone be able to communicate underground?"

"Don't worry. I will control it." Sebastion says, his voice coming from the drone itself. The drone lowered to our eye level and scanned the sewer map. "I memorized the whole thing."

"Thank you so much," said Crest. "I'll be off then!" Sebastion informed, ascending into the air before leaving through the balcony door. "We better get a move on, then." You state, dashing into the elevator as the others followed behind.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You all stood in one of the city's canals, peering into a waterway along one of the walls expectantly. Tensions were high enough to make one jolt at the sound of a ping coming from the tablet. "We have a signal on the radar..." Crest informs as it continued to beep. "Is it Dexter?" Jun asks. You hummed, looking down at the tablet before staring into the darkness of the tunnel with a raised brow. "It should be..."

"It's big... and it's coming!" Crest warned. With bated breaths, you all continued to stare until something rushed out. As it turned out, it was just a sewer rat- which caused all of you to recoil in fright, moving out of its way as to dropped to the ground and ran off.

Sebastian flew out, hovering just a couple feet above us. "How is it going?" He asks through the drone. "Still nothing," you sighed, crossing your arms. "Shall I try again?" Crest suggests.

Before anyone could answer, the ground beneath our feet vibrated that slowly morphed into rumbling that almost made everyone fall off their feet. Not only that but was accompanied by the faint sound of a drill the drew near.

Dexter!

You turned your head towards where the noise came from, and a hole was made in the canal's wall. The drill was moved out of the way, allowing the excavator bot to exit.

"Wow...! A- uh- robot!" Anna dramatically cried in fear. "It looks dangerous, let's run!" Theo suggests as both he and Anna grabbed him by the arms and dragged him away despite his protests. "Let's get you somewhere safe! We don't need to make your injuries worse," Jun added, following after them. That just leaves you and Dexter.

"Huh?" Hearing the commotion, he turns his helm and can make out a faint outline of a familiar. Is that the human that came up with that stupid name?

Before he could think about it further, Drone-Sebastian blasts the ultra-sonic jammer, causing the nature-loving Cardbot to hold his helm in pain. "Stop! Stop that horrible racket!" He pleads. Seeing his distress, you took out your wrench and threw it at the drone. Upon contact, the jammer was knocked off and broke apart once it hit the concreate ground.

"Dexter, please, listen to me!" You call as the Cardbot shook his helm, still holding onto it. "We... I don't want to hurt you either! We can find a way to protect the animals." You take a step forward, "Violence isn't the base for change; it's a never-ending cycle unless something is done about it. Please, stop attacking the city!"

"What?" Dexter shook his helm again as the pain settled. "Humans protecting the animals? Don't make me laugh!" This is absurd! All humans do is take and take, cause harm to nature for their own selfish needs. "Dexter, just listen! Metal Cardbot and humans can coexist peacefully on Earth! If you'd just give us a chance to prove it-" "No!" Dexter shouts, "Humans can't be trusted!"

He turns to the little machine that dared to assault him and fires a ray at it with his Metal Card, causing it to explode. He turns back to you. "Owner of the Metal Breath," He stomps forward, "while you may have gained the trust of Ivory Claw and her sparklings, I, however, will never trust you." You almost fell on your backside with how aggressive his steps were as he towered over you, glaring down at your form. "You may speak kind words of peace; I know that you are just trying to trap me in your seal!"

After regaining your footing, you glare right back into his optics. "Then, I apologize for what I have to do next, but you left me no choice... Shadow X!" You shout.

"Stealth Mode, off!" Behind Dexter, the Cardbot in question phased into existence with his X-Wheel mounted on his left arm. "Stop right there!" He states. Dexter turned his attention back to you in surprise. "How did you-" "It's simple, really," You say with a sly grin. "After planning this operation, I had him wait right there before we arrived. Just a little precaution in case you decided to be stubborn." You explained. Shadow X laughed, pointing at his opponent, "I'm surprised you didn't notice my shadow!"

"Don't be a troublemaker now and enter the seal! It's not as bad as one would think- trust me, I would know." Shadow X continues, stomping his pede. "I will never!" Dexter spinning around to have the momentum swing the excavator arm on his back, smacking the shinobi Cardbot in the face and send him flying into the wall.

"...Okay, I was not expecting that." You mutter in surprise. Just as Shadow X sat up, Dexter drilled a hole, heading underground. "Huh?" Shadow X jumped to his pedes, "Where did he go? Hiding is supposed to be my thing!"

"Shadow X, wait!" You shouted with a hand reached out, making him freeze in place. "Don't. Move." You back to the hole Dexter went through, thinking. If he was fleeing, the rumbling wouldn't suddenly stop, but slowly fade away- just like how he appeared. You stared at the concreate, feeling the hard, stable surface beneath the sole of your shoes. He's bidding his time, as if waiting for something...

A light bulb went off in your head. He's been using sound to get around, so who's to say that he isn't going to use it to sense vibrations of an opponent's steps in battle? If that's the case, we need to be careful. "I have an idea," You whispered to Shadow X. "Huh?" He replied, raising a non-existent eyebrow. "On my signal, I want you to stomp your feet on the ground and then immediately go into the air. Got it?" You informed. He gave you a thumbs up, still frozen as he is.

"Mega Trucker," You quietly called. His head projected up through the Metal Breath's crystal with a hum of confusion, "You're needed for this plan." You tell. "Got it!" You summon his card, giving Shadow X a thumbs up with a nod. Nodding back, he began to jump from one pede to the other twice before jumping up into the air to fly. Jus then, Dexter burst through the ground, almost piercing Shadow X. Now airborne, you summoned Mega Trucker with his Mega Protector. "Mega Trucker, Mega Power Tackle!"

Immediately being released from the Metal Breath, Mega Trucker charged forward with his Metal Card ahead of him. "Mega Power," before Dexter could grab Shadow X by the pede, he was suddenly taken by surprise by the sudden ram, "TACKLE!!"

The attack sent Dexter into the wall, allowing you to have Shadow X and Mega Trucker return into the Metal Breath and trade them out for Phoenix Fire and his Fire Hammer. Dexter pushed himself out of the wall, leaving an indent of his body from the attack. "You don't scare me!" He growled, going back underground. "Phoenix Fire, Hammer Quake the ground!"

"Hammer Quake!" The firefighter shouts, striking again. "Again! Until he comes out," You ordered. Phoenix Fire continues to do just that, dust clouds forming around him from the strikes. It was until he popped out of the ground did he stop. "Behind you!" You warned. Quickly turning around, he raised his sidearm that was his deck gun, shooting a stream of water at Dexter, "Water Splash!"

Taken aback by the attack, he fell to the ground as the continuous beam of water was fired at him, trying to block it with his Weapon Card. Pointing the drill end forward, he fired a beam to fight back against the water.

Now that he was distracted and open, you summoned Mega Ambler with his Mega Forceps. "Mega Ambler, stop him from going back under. We can't lose this!" You ordered. "Got it," Mega Ambler said with a curt nod, "leave it to me!" Mega Ambler rushed forward and leaped high into the air, scanning for a potential weak spot to make. With the right calculations, he aimed for the arm that mounted Dexter's Weapon Card. "Forceps Crush!" The unlicensed medic yelled as he descended down, his Mega Forceps clamping onto the spinning drill. This caused the drill to begin to overheat, sparks of electricity forming from the offending friction. "Let go of me!" Dexter cried, swinging his arm back which caused Mega Ambler to fly backwards- Fortunately landing on his feet and slid back.

Dexter glanced at his drill, shocked to see it stalling, jittering as it tries to spin. "Now for the finishing move," you declared, summoning Blue Cop from the Metal Breath with his Justice Gauntlet. "Dexter!" Blue Cop called out, "It's time for a faceoff!"

"Y-You...!" Dexter grunts.

"Blue Cop," you called as you began to feel that sensation in your chest and head of you and Blue Cop's unity. "Let's finish this!" You proclaimed, raising your arm with the Metal Breath to eye level, it's crystal glowing as you felt a warm energy. He nods, as you both were outlined in a light, brilliant glow of yellow, "Let's."

With a shout, you and Blue Cop -- in perfect unison, as if one being -- punched your right fist in the air before winding it back. "Infinity..." Blue Cop's Justice Gauntlet pulsed and glow, and an astral projection of his weapon formed over your arm, "Force..."

"BREAK!!"

You both punched forward, launching a brigade of yellow energy blasts in the form of fists. Before Dexter could think of how to escape the attack, each fist landed a devastating blow to his body, sparks and bolts of electricity forming from each contact. It wasn't until his drill detached from his arm did the attack stop.

Without a moment to waste, you began to sealing ritual, "Metal Cardbot, change up!" You yelled, firing a card from the Metal Breath. As usual, the card got bigger and split into two, enveloping Dexter on both sides of his unconscious form. Once it was finished the card shrank back down and flew in your direction, to which you catch.

You groaned, falling backwards on your butt, your hands holding you up. Boy... were you tired. Blue Cop called your name, kneeling beside you worried, "Are you okay?" He asks panickily. Are you hurt? Please be okay! "I'm fine, I'm fine," You muttered, throwing your head back to look up into the cloudless sky, "Just tired... Glad this fiasco is over, though!" You add, giving him a thumbs up. He sighs in relief before giving you a thumbs up as well.

Unbeknownst to you, Blue Cop, Phoenix Fire and Mega Ambler, Wild Guardy had been silently observing the battle from a nearby rooftop in his vehicle form, glowering down at you four.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside of Edo Motor's laid Dexter with you working on top of him to better fix him up. You worked on him personally with Edo's tools along with Mega Ambler's guidance due to your very limited knowledge of Metal Cardbot anatomy. You felt like you owed this to him after everything he's been through. It didn't stop until the Sun had already fell below the horizon, allowing the intricate stars to make their presence known. Fortunately, Dexter had Nugget to pet to keep him calm, especially since his vision had been turned off, so it gives him a sense of stability.

Once you had finished, you got off of him so he could sit up. Dexter slowly opened his eyes. Edo came over, standing next to you, "Now, what do you see?" He asks, waving a hand. "What? A gorilla waving?" The excavator Cardbot questioned. Edo froze at that answer as you snickered, trying -- but failing -- to hold back your laughter.

"What do you know, he's right!" You say with a quivering voice, holding a hand over your mouth with shaking shoulders. "What the heck is that supposed to mean?!" He shouts, turning to you. You couldn't hold it in anymore, bursting out into cackling, wrapping your arms around your sides.

"Thank you, guys." Dexter suddenly spoke, make you quiet down. "I really owe you an apology." Mega Trucker stepped forward. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asks. "Is there something on your mind? Come on, you can tell us?" Blue Cop urged.

"Don't worry about me. I-" "Nope. No, no, no, no." You interrupted, dragging a metal folding chair to the center of the room, a long and loud scraping screech echoing in the repair shop.. "You are a part of the team, and I plan to take care of everyone's needs- Including you. So," you stop, putting it where the back of the chair faced Dexter, and sit on it as you crossed your arms on top of the back.

"Spill it, Dex."

He sighed, looking to the side, "The animals in the forest... what will happen when the road is finished?" He pondered aloud. You smiled, standing up, "Don't worry. I have something to show you." You turned around, pointing to the outside with your other hand on your hip. "To the forest!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone, with the exception of Shadow X, drove to the construction site. "We're here." You announced, making Blue Cop stop with everyone else behind him doing the same. You got out, approaching the other side of the road. "I have done some research about the road's construction, and you're going to love this, Dex!" You said, beckoning the excavator over.

As his vehicle form approached the edge, curious about what you have to show, he gasps in shock at what he sees. "What...?" He mutters. You leaned over the barrier, seeing an opening below the bridge, and an area that is covered in fresh, green grass, a few big rocks, a couple of trees, and a flowing creek.

"The road had no intention of harming the environment because it was thought about it. It's designed to allow wild animals to cross safely." You informed. You then pulled out a tablet from your bag, scrolling through it before finding a couple of articles. "And it's not just this road that humans have been doing," You say, flipping the tablet around to show Dexter. He turns to you, skimming through each article you showed him. On it, he saw humans on boats in the ocean, loading them with any sort of trash and plastic they come across on the water's surface, an ad to download a browser so they can plant two trees for every one that was cut down, a news article that showed couple of human teenagers cleaning little ducks that were covered in oil, and many more. "Humans have also started cleaning the oceans from pollution, planting new trees, helped injured animals, and so much more!" You lowered the tablet so you both could make eye contact.

"Humans may have destroyed countless environments and harmed living things for centuries -- that I admit -- but for the past half century, people have started to help the Earth, fixing the mistakes that we made so long ago, and we have made significant progress to help heal the planet, our home. And now, it's your home, too."

"I see. The people of this planet have shown a little consideration." Dexter says, feeling a sense of ease and happiness in his spark. "Do you feel better now?" You asked with a head tilt. He responds with a positive hum, "Yes. I really do. I'll join you as a part of your team now."

You grin with joy, giggling. "Glad to have you."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Many years ago, when I was just a little girl, I made a friend in the forest. Her mother was hurt and she was attacked by terrible bugs. So, I took them home and had helped them recover. Afterwards, they made a home in an abandoned barn. For years and years, me and Nugget would hang out and play together. Unfortunately, I had gotten busy with work and other things that are a part of my life that I hadn't visted her in a few months. During that hiatus, a storm broke out and was destroyed. Nugget was then left homeless and alone as she was pregnant with her first litter."

You sigh, popping your back before wiping the sweat from your brow with your gloved hand as you stood up. "Luckily, she had found a friend to help her and five kits- including her boyfriend by extension." You glared, pointing at the raccoon male with his dark black fur and big, dark boba-eyes that stared right back innocently. "Looking at you, Fry." You growled. He chitters, nuzzling into the head of one of his children that he had with your precious baby girl. "I still don't forgive you..."

You turned away, smiling -- as if your one-sided beef with the raccoon wasn't just shown -- at the camera that recorded live to your online audience. "It was just a few days ago before we met that I was reunited with Lil' Nuggie. And I am happy that she's alright." You picked her up from where she was napping, placing kisses on top of her head. "You had me worried, my beautiful snowflake." You say in a baby voice before placing her with her children. And Fry.

You approached the camera, plucking it from the stool it stood on. "After finding out about what happened to the barn, I decided to build them a home in my parent's backyard." You moved back to reveal the result of your craft. It almost looked like a chicken coop, but the inside was filled with toys for the babies to play with, a comfortable nesting place, and, of course, a food and water bowl.

"I would like to say thank you for watching, please subscribe and like. And, if you could donate to help give animals that have lost their homes a new one. I hope you have a good day or night my dear boys, girls, and precious pearls- I know I have. BYE!!" You pressed the button to end the recording, giving it a title and video description before posting it.

You set it down on the stool, taking off your gloves and straw hat before going to play with your raccoon grandchildren. The phone's screen was left on, facing the sky as it showed the video increasing in views and likes and a few comments. However, a new comment appeared, the profile showing a symbol of a golden bird.

Your eyes twinkle brighter than stars With hands as rough as diamonds My heart beast faster than an arrow's dart A will not as brittle as almonds Your very existence traps me in tangling vines I can only ask for you to be mine

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bonus scene: How You Found Out About Fry

*You come back home with some food you got for Nugget from the local pet store; You approach your room, hearing slight snoring; You shrugged it off, knowing that Nugget can lightly snore; Opening the door and turning on the light, you freeze in shock as you see her curled up with an unfamiliar raccoon with her babies; Rightfully so, you scream in fright because there's a rando raccoon in your home, which wakes them all up*

*Which leads up to now*

Reader, pacing back and forth in front of her bed: Let's just recap! You got my baby girl pregnant; I DON'T send your ass to animal control. I never once seen you around, male raccoons stick around after mating after all. Reader, takes the Metal Breath off her nightstand, having it in a death grip: I was forced to fight a Metal Cardbot, *Gets into Fry's face* who almost destroyed the whole damn city. Reader, gestures to Nugget and her babies: And then I come home to find you coiled around my daughter and grandkids! Fry: *Clicks* (Translation: We were snuggling) Reader: GUILTY!!!

TF DO YOU MEAN BLUE COP D SACRIFICED HIMSELF AND NOW HE'S DEAD?! I DIDN'T SEE HIS BODY; THEREFORE, HE'S NOT DEAD!! YOU HERE ME?! HE'S NOT DEEEEEEEEEEAAAAADD!!
