💥 Yee-Haw! 💥 | Yan!Metal Cardbot & Metal Cardbot S x Cowboy!Cardbot!Reader
To many you were an easy-going Cardbot, often going where your desire took you towards. Your free spirit was evident in your everyday life. Of course you had some disagreements with others, but you just quickly took out your beloved blasters and the problem was gone. Your reflexes were admirable, your servos were always behind your helm, but you still were faster. Many rumors were going around that your very own shadow could not keep up!
The destruction of Machina was devastating, though it did not stop you from exploring various new places. You had many adventures, that is until you stumbled upon Earth. It was magnificent, so many things to see… This pushed you to descend upon the planet. Your pod was falling the same day Heavy Iron had arrived, this allowed you to ascend peacefully without many eyes to see.
Blue Cop knew you from the rumors going around the Star Guardian ranks. Someone who out gunned the best with little to no effort, without using their Metal Card. To meet you in person was… spectacular to say the least. Even if he tasted the bitter taste of defeat, he still got praised by you. This managed to slightly boost his self-esteem and maybe something else bloomed in his core.
“ Ain’t no bot lasted that long against me before. That’s somethin’ to wear with pride! “
Mega Trucker was stumped, how were you so fast?! You even managed to break his shield, without even trying! A shrug was all he was given in response to that. Just who even were you? No Metal Card used, no hesitation - there was simply no time for him to even comprehend what was happening. Strangely, he could not help but admire you.
“ That shield was ‘bout ready to give out anyway. I just gave ya a reason to go fix that thing. “
Mega Ambler could not understand - his scanners did not pick up any weakness to exploit. You were as invincible as it was rumored to be. Your strength was at its peak even without your Metal Card in use. Even when the first meeting took place, you were lazily twerking with your guns. His systems were going highwire for unrelated reasons to combat, a weird warmth welcomed itself into his chest.
“ Ah! Got a doctor comin’ after me, huh? I ain’t got no wounds for ya, and I ain’t plannin’ on gettin’ any, doc. “
The flaming hammer of Phoenix Fire did not stand a chance against you. You simply sidestepped his attacks before easily gaining an upper hand. He was mesmerised by your skill. The firefighter wished to have some of your fearlessness. He even thinks you noticed his stare, because at the end you softly chuckled. This made his optics go slightly pink at the edges.
“ Don’t let yer fears control ya. I’ll be waitin’ for a rematch! “
Shadow X, the mischievous prankster he is, decided to make his life mission to prank you. Of course you did humor him from time to time, nearly walking into his trap, before just a mere step away you stopped and came out unscatched. His invisibility was useless as well. You always knew where he was! It was… addictive.
“ Relax, kiddo. Don’t stress too much ‘bout it! I can see steam risin’ off ya vents! “
Dexter was more calmer in his approach as he noticed you possessed a certain gentleness when interacting with wild life. You never consciously harmed the innocent life forms, but when you did - your optics darkened slightly in sadness. Even when you fought, you still dodged unnecessary destruction and that made him admire you.
“ So fragile, ain’t like Machina at all. Yet still stubborn. “
Fleta Z met you on your home planet. Your clash was a memorable one - the undefeated gunner against the lone hunter. He was understandably frustrated, nothing worked! Your battles consisted of unsuccessful attacks mixed with laid-back banter. Now that you were here on Earth, his annoyance and unfamiliar fondness skyrocketed.
“ What? Didn’t ya miss me? C’mon, lemme give ya a warm welcome. “
Wild Guardy probably was the one to challenge you formally, in front of everyone on the team. Instead he was laughed at as you spinned your blaster on your digit leisurely. You still agreed to his demand, but even then the duel was over in a few seconds. The aspiring Star Guardian was harshly knocked down onto the ground in the aftermath, humiliation visible in his optics as well as a weird sense of respect.
“ Don’t ya give me that look. You’re askin’ for it. “
The Black Crew was not spared one bit from defeat. Your fight took place just before the pink Cardbot’s sealing. Buster Gallon desperately tried to slow you down with each of his inventions and Buffalo Crush tried his best to wrestle you to the ground. Both subordinates did not stand a chance against you. Black Hook did not fair much better, his Captain’s Cannon did nothing to you - only dust clinged to you victorious form. Their optics simply could not leave you, the victor’s glory clinged to your frame. Even if they should feel resentment - there was none.
“ Hah! That was somethin’! “
The strongest outlaw was not a challenge as well. Heavy Iron was frustrated and interested in the unsealed Cardbot. He later found you by yourself to demand a battle between you and him. It was exciting for you - to go against such an enemy was no casual matter. Though you again shocked the truck when you managed to defeat him without using your Metal Card. It made him see you in a different light.
“ Now that’s a workout! “
After each of them was sealed, they still sought you out - either it being a rematch or idle chatter. Slowly yet surely their fondness of you grew and with that their strange clinginess. Thanks for not being sealed, you unconsciously avoided being kidnapped and getting lost - which made Blue Cop let out a big sigh of relief.
While Cielo was a refined aerial sharpshooter, you still outgunned him. It was somewhat an honour to meet you, to fight with you. All the rumors were true! He barely could register that a shot has ring out. It made him giddy inside when you complimented him, he was an unusual opponent for you, but you still overcame the obstacle.
“ Woah, a flyin’ champion? Just my lucky day! “
Musclehyde was probably the first ever Cardbot to ask you for an interview. You were perplexed, but overall interested in what this talk would consist of. The reporter looked nervous at the start, but with each question asked his confidence returned. You entertained him to the best of your ability. He learned so, so much about you after that. He had everything scribbled away - No! You cannot take a peek. It is for him only!
“ An interview?... Hah, no one’d ever asked me for that! “
Rock Crush was mostly shy, hiding away behind his drills, only daring to take a glimpse of you when you walked past him. Your booming voice was strangely soothing for his audials. Speak to him more! All fears disappear when you are near him, he feels so safe in your presence! He grew close to you quickly, sometimes even following you like a lost puppy.
“ You’ve been followin’ me around all the time. Ya need somethin’? “
You knew Deep Bite, meeting him back on Machina while it still existed. It was an interesting encounter and it surprisingly did not end in a fight. He needed someone to listen and you had some time to do so. You chilled alongside the submarine for a while before you again had to go. For the blue Cardbot those times were precious and special. Only meant for him and him alone.
“ How’s it going? Did ya miss me? “
Blastrain was interested in you, the way you boarded his train, well not exactly - you simply were riding on the carts, was over the top. At first he was annoyed, but he realised you just did not have a ticket for a Cardbot, nor did he have a place for bigger ones to sit at. He was embarrassed for his lack of thought and he was the one who apologised for the predicament. You were obviously confused, but thought nothing of it.
“ It’s not your fault. I was the one in the wrong, but if it helps you recharge at night… “
Red Blitz did not recognize you at first. He challenged you to a race when he heard from Jun you were fast. You laughed at him before thanking him for the compliment and told him it was not what the kid meant. Only after a closer look did he realise who you are and a wave of embarrassment hit him. He felt so stupid for not recognising you! He quickly told you to forget about it while running away in shame.
“ Thanks kiddo! I’ll accept that! “
Glober recognised you almost instantly, he of course asked about your own adventures as it was hard to find a kindred spirit. You both found out you had a lot in common. Your desire to remain unsealed - his circumstances sadly did not let him stay this way for long - was what drove you to travel together. You too went your separate ways, but the thrill and enjoyment remained the same. He wishes sometimes to just break away and stay by your side all the time.
“ A fellow wanderer, how have ya been? “
Sky Gallop was defeated by you as well, though by… questionable means. You wanted to have some fun, so instead of a traditional fight you simply mounted him and galloped through the air. You were laughing in delight as he tried to shake you off. It made him greatly frustrated, though this somehow earned you his respect.
“ Come on! Now to the Moon and back! “
Flash Vector and Sparkbit were gushing about you in their own way. The boxer confidently walked over to you demanding a duel, just for his older brother to not agree and instead offered that he fights you. It turned into a one sided arguement as both Cardbots did not want to give in. You were near tears as you listened to them, they were hilarious. Both fighting for your approval.
“ The true rivalry between brothers, never seen that comin’! “
Gigantrex knew you from various rumors circling around his workplace. Somehow all of them were confirmed. He was impressed by your skills, a strange warmth appeared when he saw how friendly you are with his crew. Time with you was always spent in laughter. Though he had profusely apologised for his previous attitude only for you to give him a pat in return. It made him flushed at how touchy you could be.
“ Don’t worry ‘bout that. Let’s think of the present, Captain. “
The final fight was tiring, everyone gave in their all to stop Flame Nova’s plans. You tagged along with the team to find your lost companions, deciding ultimately to catch a ride with Deep Bite. Blue Cop was in despair when he saw you jump down the cliff, he nearly followed close behind, but luckily others stopped him.
How much joy the found Cardbots felt when they saw you and Jun after so long. Multiple voices of happiness escaped from the Metal Breath, making your helms swirl from the amount of words spoken. As you finally exited the Spellanza, you all finally joined the battle.
“ Ohoho! A former Star Guardian is here? Flame Nova? We meet again! “
The rumors were restless on Machina and it prompted an inspection from a renowned member of the Star Guardians. It inevitably ended in his defeat, but nobody really knew that as there were no witnesses, though a small seed of respect and something more was planted that very day.
“ [Y/N]? It has been so long… Say, how about you join me in creating our new home? No more hiding, no more chains to hold us down - “ The fire truck looked you up and down, noticing slight dents as well as dust on your frame. Though you still looked strangely ethereal for him.
“ No can do. Our desires don’t align. Freedom’s not what ya want, is it? “ Your optics narrowed at him when you noticed a slight smile made its presence known in his expression. Your servos rested just above your guns, waiting for a sign of attack.
“ I guess I will have to make you agree. “ With that battle stances were taken, tension visible in everyone’s frames. You let out a huff before taking out your blasters, twirling them in your digits before gripping them steadily. You locked your gaze on your opponent again, the common easy-going look returning to your face plate.
“ We’ll see. “ You fired your weapon in his direction.
Your support from the sidelines was essential, helping multiple Cardbots at the same time while intently observing the fight between the outlaws. What irked Flame Nova was that you never used your Metal Card. Did you not think he was worth seeing your full power? No, he just had to push you enough. With that last thought he plunged the Cosmic Stone into his frame.
The initial assumption was wrong, you still refused to use your Metal Card, yet you still managed to keep up and at times out did him. It was frustrating, it was admirable, it was… addicting. Fortunately the former Star Guardian was defeated and with that peace returned. You then laughed out loud at the end.
“ Well, that’s it then, huh? “ You looked on to the beautiful scenery around you as you stood at the top of the ship, before leaping off the edge and going your merry way. Once a free spirit, always a free spirit. Maybe in the future you will meet them again.
