Monster cardbot au: How luska! Black Hook met his reader. [2/3]
==============================
When R/n woke up she was startled to find herself locked in a cell that looked like it was taken straight out of a cheesy pirate movie, however when she went to test the cell bars she recoiled in pain as sharp shock shot through her hands and a voice spoke up.
"Don't bother trying human, those bars are charmed with electricity magic, you ain't going anywhere."
R/n looked around for the source of the voice before noticing a giant metal leg nearby she followed it up and saw it belong to some kind of giant mecha gargoyle hybrid thing, watching her with an unreadable expression, it's colors were mainly green and purple. and it appeared to be working on something on the giant work table, R/n kept gawking which cause the robot to sigh.
"If you got questions start askin' we don't get a lot of visitors down here and whether or not you're still breathing by the end of this day will be up to the captain..."
R/n swallowed hard as she took another careful look around her surroundings and noticed a window in the ceiling, R/n felt her heart rate spike up when she swore she saw a school of fish swim by... "Ar...Are we underwater?" R/n stammered out she looked between the window and the gargoyle who snorted at her. "Good observation, now how about a real question?" he said snarkily R/n as was trying to process how she could be underwater? And why wasn't she drowning?!
The Gargoyle seemed to notice her panic and seemed. "Why are you so rattled, a Witch like you should know this kind of thing" R/n stopped freaking out a bit and looked up at the Green gargoyle perplex.
"Witch? What are you talking about?"
"Playing dumb now? As if that's gonna help you."
"I really have no idea what you're saying, I'm not a witch!"
"You certainly stink like one!"
Before R/n press him further another monster bot showed up he was pink and green and resembled some sort of Minotaur, he looked down at R/n the cell then looked at the gargoyle with a annoyed look. "You were supposed to tell the captain when she woke up!" he huffed as the gargoyle rolled his eyes.
"Oh no, it's the end of the world 'cos I took too long to tell him dinner was ready?" R/n looked at the two monsters horrified as the pink Minotaur eyes narrowed. "That hasn't been decided yet." The gargoyles snorted and went to cell he unlocked it and reached in and grabbed the panicked woman who tried to back away from his grasp!
But he got her and R/n found herself being carried down a an old crumbling hallway with these glowing energy balls dimly lighting the way, R/n's heart was drumming in her chest as they arrived in a large room.
It almost looked like some kind of meeting room as there was a giant table and huge chairs and and at head of the table was larger fancier looking chair with a giant pirate flag behind it, though that wasn't what R/n was fixated on instead her gaze was drawn towards two new bots who seemed to be waiting for her arrival.
The main bot was biggest one in the entire room, who she guessed was "The captain" he was mainly blue in color, he had he had a pirate theme to him what with the eye patch and the way his body resembled a captain's uniform.
But what really stood out with him were the black squid like tentacles that flowed behind his back like a cape, other bot was much smaller than the other three, its main colors were black with mauve markings that vaguely resembled an orcas; it also had small silver horn on it's forehead.
The smaller bot sat on the larger bot's knee squeezing something... R/n squinted and recognized it as that Hello Kitty plushy from her home! Now that her eyes had adjusted to the dimly lit surroundings R/n could see this smaller bot was actually Marina in her true form!
The little bot looked up from the plushy and seemed to recognize R/n as she hopped of the giant bot's knee and tried to walk towards the gargoyle holding the human but the smaller bot was quickly pulled back by the giant bot and he sent her out of the room, it was almost like he was protecting her from something...
No, not something, someone....
The human tensed up when she saw the way the giant bot glared at her, That's when R/n realized... These guys thought she a threat. R/n blinked in disbelief, there was no way they can't seriously think that she, a human, who can fit in palm of their damn hands was threat?! That's just ridiculous!
But her suspicions were proven true however when the captain spoke up. "Ya guts lass, foolish guts if ye think ye can just steal me daughter and get away with it." he sneered as he nodded as the gargoyle to put her down he dropped her on the table.
R/n yelped when she hit the hard surface she rubbed her shoulder that took most the impact and looked up at the irate bot. "So... how'd ya do it, witch? How'd you get to me wee one?" he pressed as a glowing circle started forming under the human. "And I suggest ye answer, truthfully 'cos ye don't to know what happens when ye cross Black Hook." R/n's legs suddenly felt wet and she looked down and saw water pooling around her legs.
"I didn't kidnap your daughter, I found her on the be" That wasn't the answer Black hook wanted as he snapped his finger and the water around R/n's legs spread out and the then in seconds encapsulated her in a bubble, Black Hook kept the human trapped in there for a few seconds before letting her out, R/n gasped as she took in precious gulps of air, again the captain demanded how she got Marina?
R/n denied kidnapping her, he trapped her again each time keeping her submerged longer, till eventually someone cracked but it wasn't R/n. "Stop! Stop! It was me! I did it!?" the Minotaur bot spoke up causing the green bot and Black Hook to look at him apprehensively and demanded an explanation.
The Minotaur or Buffalo Crush quickly revealed he'd been secretly taking Marina to the surface for a while now, he was using hidden exits around the lair to do so, Marina must've remembered where one was and wandered out on her own and got lost! Meaning the witch was telling the truth!
Black Hook dispelled the bubble surrounding R/n who collapsed on to the table and coughing up water and gasping for air, " ....Told... you..." she croaked glaring up venomously at the poker faced captain who silently left the room the woman's pained wheezing and coughs echoed down the hall...
Black Hook confirmed with Marina that yes, Buffalo Crush has been secretly taking the tyke up to the surface to explore the nearby town, but Buffalo Crush made her promise to keep it from Black Hook 'cos they weren't allowed to go up without him.
Black Hook was upset with the both of them, Marina was grounded much to the toddler's dismay and Buffalo Crush was ordered clean the halls and storage rooms alone. "And the witch?" Buster Gallon inquired this caused Black hook to pause they couldn't exactly let her leave; she'll probably end up telling someone about them... But on the other hand they wronged her, Black Hook was at an impasse. "I'll get back to you on that." the captain said unsure as the gargoyle narrowed his eyes... Buster Gallon had a bad feeling about this.
Marina, to Edo about his pecs: Why are your boobs so big?
{Cue Black Hook choking on his fuel and gawked at his forgeling bewildered.]
Edo, awkward: They are not… boobs.
Rock Crush, also curious: Do you have to wear a bra like miss Riley?
Edo, sputtering: ….What?
{There's a loud engine rev that sounded suspiciously like it was covering a snort from Heavy Iron who suddenly had to leave, Meanwhile everyone else who overheard was loosing it laughing.]
[Dad Hook au: Jun is teaching Marina how to play soccer, he places the ball in front of the curious forgeling.]
Jun: Okay, Mari! Now send the ball over to the net.
[Marina goes to grab the ball.]
Jun: Not with your hands! Kick it, like this! (Runs then Kicks his leg up)
Marina, nods: Okay!
[The Forgeling copies the tween and kicks the ball... Hard. The ball (that somehow didn't break) went through the net, through the fence behind the net, then through another fence before supposedly crashing into a car if that loud crunch and alarm was anything to go by...]
Jun, panicking: And now we run away!
{The Forgeling transforms into her submarine form as Jun hops into her cab and she quickly hovers away from soccer field...]
Marina: I likes Soccer, brother Jun!
Jun, making sure no one was chasing them: Uh-huh!
[Unfortunately for Jun a cop car was chasing them, and there was a soccer ball size dent in his side door.... Yeah, Blue Cop had a few words with the boy.
He wasn't as upset with Marina since she was just doing what Jun was telling her to do, but both Blue cop and Black Hook had to explain to Marina that she has to watch her strength when playing with humans... Blue Cop doesn't want to think about what would've happened if that ball had hit regular car or a pedestrian walking by! ]
[Dad hook au: At the beach Black hook is napping in his bot form a few feet from where Marina and the mini-Gallons were building sand castles when Shadow X walked up to them]
Shadow X: Hey kiddo! You wanna have some real fun with sand?~
[The Forgeling and three clones turn to the older bot with "We're listening" looks on their faces...
Cut to Black Hook waking up from his nap to the other bots and his human friends are standing around snickering and taking photos of him? He feels a weight on his chest and looks down.]
Black Hook: What in the blazes?!
[Pan out to Black Hook buried under a pile of sand that's sculptured to look like a mermaid's body with large bosoms! He quickly scans the crowd for the culprit or culprits...
And suspicion fell on his daughter, but he knew Marina wouldn't do this sort of prank unless someone older gave her the idea... Immediately he correctly guess Shadow X since he was only one seemly not present.
Black hook pulled himself out of the sand and started speed walking towards a cloaked Shadow X, who was very confused over how the pirate could see him? until the ninja bot realized his footprints were visible and he had sand stuck to his body! Shadow X started to run as Black Hook caught up to him...
Cut to Shadow x buried deep in the sand with only his head sticking out, while Marina and the Mini-gallons build a sand city around him.]
Shadow X: At least dig a moat or put a wall around me, the tides coming in!
[Dad Hook au: Tachy and Savannard meet Marina, the forgeling woke up to hearing Jun and Soleil talking... That meant her papa was back! the young cardbot ran up to the garage and cautiously peeked inside and was greeted by uncle Glober and two unknown bots standing in the garage; they were talking about uncle Heavy when Soleil noticed Marina watching.]
Soleil: Oh sorry, were we being too loud?
[Savannard and Tachy looked toward where Soleil was looking and their optics widened.]
Savannard, looks at Marina startled: A- a Forgel-
Tachy, optics sparkling: A BABY!!!~ (dives towards Marina.)
[Marina seeing a stranger pouncing towards her the forgeling instinctively activated her bubble shield causing the wild cardbot to bounce off her, Tachy was stunned for a few seconds before excitedly trying to hug the younger bot.]
Savannard: I thought they were all gone...
Black Hook: Aye, m'wee one is a lucky treasure.
[Savannard having the same reaction as Bloodwing when he heard Black Hook was Marina's adoptive father.]
Savannard: Excuse you?
==============
[Savannard and Bloodwing both had a serious spot of mood whiplash upon finding out that one of their planet's most dangerous and notorious ex-criminals was now the doting father of what is possibly the last forge born of Machina.]
[Rock Crush and Marina are covered in sparkly slime, Black Hook wordlessly pulls off a panicking mini-Gallon stuck to Marina's back, then turns to Rock who had another Mini-stuck to the side of his head.]
Black Hook: Ye best explain this right now...
Rock Crush: We were left unsupervised.
Black Hook: What? I told Buster Gallon to watch ya!
Buster Gallon, from somewhere: I also left unsupervised...
{Black hook looks around for the green tractor bot confused, then looked up and saw him stuck on the warehouse ceiling, which started to give way under his weight! Black hook quickly yanked the younglings out of the way as Buster Gallon fell to the floor leaving a crater.]
