Send a ♠️ and my muse will have to share a bad memory from their past.
One revolver. Six bullets. Ten of them.
Three hours in a brutal shootout, all because of a deeply rooted conflict between two gangs. For once in his life, he had picked up a side, now stuck on the losing team - one that was very dead. Past him was strangling him; what were you thinking about helping them?! Should have left them to deal with it on their own! Should have left!
A sole survivor in the sea of fallen comrades, energon splashed under his pedes whenever he had an opening to switch covers. His guns that were deeply wired and mounted to his forearm had long since flamed out, useless against the brutes closing in, trying to flank him. That one revolver stood no chance against them trying to eliminate the last vermin of the gang.
He never belonged to them, anyway. It didn't matter to the enemies. He'd helped them.
He would satisfy their bloodlust.
Except, he made them work hard for it. Fast, agile, cunning - the mech's potential of a fighter- no a survivor - tested their patience. He was on the brink of fleeing them.
A vessel. It flew overhead, hovering inches off the ground - a getaway spaceship.
No bullets left in the revolver and only mad dash to get to his ship. The remaining four focused fire on the spaceship's wings, grounding it, smoke pouring from burst fuel lines. Such damage set him back months. Months he may never catch up on.
Optics finally unglue themselves from the damage his flying home had to suffer. Death's at the doorstep with the four mobster, armed to teeth with weaponry surrounding him.
He stared at the empty revolver, the smoking ship and then at his enemies.
He didn't need guns to deal with these pests.
Motivation was a dangerous fuel.
