After helping Ceaser make his way to Peach’s Castle, Sectonia took her time to explore the groups ‘home base’, eventually finding a place to take a short nap before the G ranked mission in a few hours. Blazermate meanwhile spent her time trying to clean herself up and tinker with her own parts. While she knew how to fix herself, she wasn’t a mechanic so while she could do an OK job, she’d soon realize that it’d be much easier to ask others for help. 

Blazermate spent a bit of time in a stand-by state waiting for the hours to pass by. Once the designated time to gather up for the mission came around, Blazermate made her way to the gathering point through the teleporter, meeting up with everyone. [color=0072bc]”Hiya guys. Ready for today?”[/color] She said. As she said that, she noticed how shiny Poppi was, compared to herself which, while Blazermate looked ok, she wasn’t nearly as radiant as the mecha lady. She also noticed the worried look on Peach’s face, figuring it was about what was to come.

This got Blazermate thinking, This was supposed to be the boss of this part of the world right? Like that dragon bowser? That fight, overall, wasn’t that bad, although considering that was a much more arrogant and dumb Bowser, it did take awhile and a few people were turned into spirits. What if something that powerful though had actual brains behind it? That could be disastrous! And while Blazermate could heal her own parts, if she went unconscious things would go south fast. And it was at this point Blazermate looked at Poppi again, and it reminded her Tora was very skilled at fixing robotics, even if Poppi looked more like a human with armor. While she didn’t need any hard repairs like that, the upcoming battle might actually facilitate them if things go poorly, and Medabots were probably vastly different than anything Tora had worked on. Realizing this, Blazermate moved to talk to Tora.

[color=0072bc]”So uh, Tora. You know, with this whole G rank mission coming, I noticed I don’t think I’ve actually talked to you about how to repair me if things went, bad.”[/color] Blazermate said, a bit sheepishly. [color=0072bc]”Care to step out a bit so I can show you?”[/color] Blazermate asked, gesturing to both Tora and Poppi, knowing those two were almost like Medabot and Metafighter.

Since the others had yet to fully assemble, and because of Tora’s rather predictable fascination with robot girls, he Nopon agreed straightaway. “Great idea, meh!” He and Poppi, who seemed to grasp the situation firmly and without humor, followed Blazermate over to where a more private conversation could be held by the nearby river Lum.

With the trio in a more secluded area, Blazermate began. [color=0072bc]”So, uh yeah. Repairs...”[/color] Blazermate started. She took her Suffering arm and slashed her own leg with its fingers, leaving a scratch. She then began to heal her own minor wound using her right arm, although it healed very slowly. [color=0072bc]”As you can see, If my healing arm is operative, I can repair myself slowly.”[/color] Blazermate said, when the minor damage was repaired, a bit of ‘scarring’ could be seen, although this was more just Blazermate’s paint missing in that area than anything serious. [color=0072bc]”But it only heals the part to working condition, if I want to look pristine, I’ll need a bit of extra work.”[/color] She then pulled out her own repair tools, a very simple screwdriver set, and said. [color=0072bc]”But if my healing arm gets damaged to the point of shutting down, I can’t repair myself at all, at least as best as I know.”[/color] She said, presenting her other arm, the one she used to heal with. 

Taking her tools, she sat down and took apart her healing arm, revealing the inner workings and her tinpet. It looked almost comical knowing that the part that gave her healing capabilities came apart so easily. Tora watched the whole time, his enraptured black eyes absorbing every detail; in fact he got so physically close to see that he got in the way several times. Blazermate then raised her now partless arm, showing a very thin frame. [color=0072bc]”This is my tinpet, or my skeleton. Its incredibly rare for this to actually get damaged, as its made of some really sturdy stuff, but if it does, I’d need you to help me repair or make a new one.”[/color] She said. She then did the same with one of her legs, showing just how simple her frame that her parts sat on was.

Tora looked surprised. “How Blaze-Blaze have such normal components? Frame parts seem unremarkable. Guess material must be special. New spirit parts not explainable, just seem like crazy spirit magic. But Tora could definitely replace original parts if get hurt. Except brainbox, probably. Tora still not able to work with grampypon’s Ether Furnace.”

A longing sigh escaped the Nopon. “Meeeeeeh….Soosoo such incredibly smartypon. Poppi Ether Furnace engineering masterpiece. It absorb ether from atmosphere and other energy sources, refine, then construct new matter from etherium just like normal Blade, using existing matter as blueprint. It how Poppi change forms and repair self quickly.” He looked again at Blazermate’s healing arm. “In Tora world, healing devices use ether to reconstruct damaged tissue. How Blaze-Blaze healing work?”

Blazermate shrugged. [color=0072bc]”I’m not entirely sure how my healing works, not to the degree you probably know about your ‘ether’. But basically I take power from my Medal and channel it through this part, and bam, healing beam.”[/color] She said, pointing at the parts of her healing arm before showing a bit of difficulty lifting anything with her tinpet arm as she began putting her leg part back on. 

“Medal?” Tora looked at Blazermate inquisitively. “What that?”

[color=0072bc]”I guess now is a better time than any.”[/color] Blazermate said. [color=0072bc]”You know how you said you couldn’t repair my ‘brainbox’? You can actually very easily repair my head part, my ‘brain’ isn’t actually in there.”[/color] Blazermate continued, snapping the last of her leg part back into place before standing up and turning around, showing her back to Tora. Pointing with her tinpet arm at her back, a small hatch opened up, revealing an even smaller, almost quarter sized, gold metal in the center. [color=0072bc]”Thats my medal. If I’m defeated, it gets ejected. Thats often how Medafights are won. Its what powers me and where my ‘brain’ is, so to speak.”[/color] Blazermate kept a very trained eye on Tora, making it so he didn’t actually touch her Medal. 


Tora looked at the thing with reverence, as if Blazermate was showing him a very private and secret treasure. He clearly wanted to touch it, but when she explained its purpose, he knew better than to do so. “Wow....like Blade’s core crystal, except it pop out,” he observed. “And that core supply all Blazermate energy? Tora not understand how possible, but it very cool! Still...” he looked at the Medabot in a new light. “That explain why Blazermate not fight by self and prefer support. Energy supply infinite but not super strong, and materials not good as Poppi’s or as quick to fix.”

[color=0072bc]”Well, I’m more a support Medabot model. With the right parts I could be an offensive type. Just because I have a Medal doesn’t mean I CAN’T actually be offensive, but I prefer the support parts. Medafights are either 1 on 1 or 3 on 3 though.”[/color] Blazermate corrected Tora before saying. [color=0072bc]”But yeah… I’d have to say Poppi’s parts look far sturdier than mine.”[/color] She then gestures for Tora to help her put her healing arm back on, both so it’d go by faster, and to give him some training on taking off and putting back on Blazermate’s parts.

Tora lent a hand, taking to the task like a fish to water. “Tora wish understood Ether Furnace,” he complained as he worked. “If did, could use tech for other things. Loads of people want weapons that can refill ammo or weaponize elements. Ether construction extremely useful. But it so complicated that can’t be done without intelligence to manage it, so nobody in Tora world able to do it except with Blade. With Tora genius for AI, could make all sorts artificial blades, but...Tora not want them used just like tools. Daddypon Tatazo forced make soulless artificial blades against will to be soldiers.” The memory did not lift Tora’s spirits. As he spoke, Poppi looked on and listened in silence to him talking about the technology and motivation that created her. “Tora also happy with Poppi. If there more artificial blades, Poppi less special.” He reached over and patted her head. 

After a moment he returned his attention to Blazermate to help recomplete her. “If Tora could figure out how Blaze-Blaze medal work, though, have small neverending energy supplies that could be very handy. Maybe Tora could study medal sometime?” He put on the finishing touch and waited eagerly for a reply.

Blazermate was a bit taken aback by Tora wanting to use a medal for a non medabot thing, but she quickly recomposed herself as he wasn’t aware of exactly what a medal was. [color=0072bc]”Well you see, my Medal also holds my ‘soul’ as it were. The two are inseparable. There was an attempt once in my world where they tried to make a medal as a power source like you suggested, but it ended very, very poorly.”[/color] Blazermate started, before looking at Tora very seriously. [color=0072bc]”Without the soul or mind in the medal, it eventually burnt out, but that was after the bot in question was… how do we say… dumb. Like, very dumb. They couldn’t do anything but attack. Something as simple as “pick that up” was beyond them. And even then overall they were weaker than a medabot like me.”[/color] Blazermate said, not going into much detail beyond that as if something else had happened that wasn’t all that pleasant. [color=0072bc]”Although I do have a ‘rare’ Medal, so that helps things.”[/color] After this offhanded comment,  Blazermate realized she never explained the different medals. [color=0072bc]”Oh yeah. I forgot. I have a Rare medal, its a special kind of medal that lets me use the Medaforce, a really powerful, mystical force. Most medabots don’t have these kinds of medals. The only difference between a rare medal and a normal medal though is energy output, Medaforce usage, and independence. Rare ones are better in these fields.”[/color] She paused to let Tora absorb that information before continuing. [color=0072bc]”But yeah… if you ever see my medal get ejected, make sure you pick it up and keep it safe. Although I don’t know if my world’s rules work with this world’s rules...”[/color] She finished, ending on a bit of a dark doubtful note.

The abundance of jargon and new concepts did not seem to phase Tora. “Uh huh...uh huh...I see. Meh, meh...it all sound very interesting. Well, would not want to use Blaze-Blaze medal, but maybe Tora can make more. But sound like not have power without soul, like Blade. Also like Blade, Blaze-Blaze can live on after destroyed if core crystal intact and be reawakened, but Tora suppose friend keep memories while needing new body built.” He scratched his head with a wing. “Meh...Tora wonder if Blaze body could be integrated with Ether Furnace. Surely AI good enough to manage it. If Tora able to make new Ether Furnace, Blaze have double power and could replace base parts with ether ones. Stronger, and can be self-repair very fast.” Clearly his mind already raced with the possibilities, trying to conceptualize a machine that combined Poppi’s unique hardware with Blazermate’s own system, like plugging a brand-new CPU in an old computer.

With Tora’s help, Blazermate’s healing arm was put back in its place. [color=0072bc]”That sounds cool! It's like this thing that lets me get Medaforce by healing.”[/color] Blazermate said, pointing at the Uberheart in her chest. [color=0072bc]”I’m always up for new parts!”[/color] She then paused to calm down a bit at how cool that all sounded and got back to explaining repairing bits. [color=0072bc]”So, I don’t know if you saw Tora, but if one of my parts stops working, I can’t really move it well. My Tinpet by itself isn’t very strong. Which means...”[/color] Blazermate said, tapping her legs. [color=0072bc]”If say, something made my legs inoperable, I couldn’t move. We already went over the healing arm, I don’t know about this demon arm, it's a bit a unique case I’ve found… and a broken head part means I can’t see, hear, fly, ext...”[/color] She said. [color=0072bc]”But as you see, I’m pretty easy to fix up since i’m so modular. Maybe when we have more time and aren’t getting ready for a mission, I’ll let you look at a few more things ~.”[/color]

That brooked an enthusiastic response. “Any time, meh!”

Poppi interjected for the first time. “People starting to gather, Masterpon. We should go back.” Tora agreed, and the trio headed for where Brother Grimm towered above the town.

Level 2 Sectonia - (8/20) +1
Word Count: 519
[b]Location:[/b] Clik Clak Diner[/center]


Sectonia didn’t follow Blazermate as she had left a bit earlier. Upon waking from her nap, The queen bee made her way back to the land of adventure as that was where everyone else was and she really didn’t have anything better to do at this point. Her few interactions with the mushroom people of the castle weren’t the most stimulating, even if they were excellent servants. She’d have to keep them in mind if she was going to make her own kingdom here at some point, although they’d need a more floral design to become more beautiful. 

When she reached the Land of Adventure, she decided to try out the local food in the area. She did try to get something back at Peach’s castle, but the kitchen staff weren’t at their posts, and Sectonia had no idea where they were, with the mushroom people apologizing but saying that they couldn’t do anything for her without their princess.

Sectiona would’ve preferred to eat in an actual castle, but since that wouldn’t be a thing without their princess there, she found a quaint little place. While not a castle, it was… fair. She wasn’t a huge fan of all the stone work and lack of plant life, especially flowers, in Lumbridge and the surrounding buildings. That being said, the area at least kept itself clean and there was something quaint about the simple decor. 

The Clik Clak Diner did stand out to her though, it clashed horribly with the aesthetics of the other buildings, but it had a more sleek look because of it. Out of sheer curiosity she decided to take a look, as metal wasn’t used much in her world unless it was used for decoration. Flying into the establishment, it looked… clean yet bland. 

“May I help you?” The [url=https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/80342832066971905/A8B3DD34BC3ABF22513480F5488346B7D2C17BFE/?imw=637&imh=358&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=true] lady at the counter [/url] asked, not phased by Sectonia’s presence at all. [color=92278f]”Yes, I hear you serve food here. Do you have Fruits and Honey?”[/color] Sectonia said, dignified as always. Seeing as Sectonia was a giant bee lady, the waitress wasn’t surprised at the more odd order. “Take a seat, we’ll have something out for you in a bit.” Sectonia nodded and hovered to a non booth table as she couldn’t actually fit in any of the booths. 

There weren’t that many people here at the diner, the most notable being two ‘humans’ as they were called eating their own food at a table adjacent to hers. They looked cleaner than the previous ‘human’ she had met that came back injured, with one of them having a fairly good looking suit on, but at the same time they also looked… shadier? Sectonia didn’t dwell on it too much as her food came right out, the waitress not needing to cook anything seeing as all Sectonia wanted was essentially pancake toppings. 

When Sectonia had her food dropped off, the person at the other table, the one in the suit, asked for a milkshake. While not a bad idea, Sectonia kept to her fruits and honey, eating them as dignified as a giant bee with her bee mouth could.
