ROCKET

Have a Merry Phightmas and a Happy New Fear! #phighting #phightingfanart

@BZUKA11111973 @blackrockglory [ Rocket curls up slightly ] I promise… I love you dad, I really mean it. [ Tears ran down his cheeks ] You were the best thing to ever happen to me dad… I don’t know if I’d even be here without you.

@BoomAndBlast @blackrockglory You- [ He began to panic more, glancing around before back at his son. He bit his lip, trying not to yell in a situation like this. ] I swear- I will get you out of here as fast as I can. Just.. do whatever you need to keep yerself from getting hurt. It’s gonna be okay.

*Tap. Tap. Tap. Soft red illumination came into view before the bot did. Rocket wouldn't have recognized him. Of course he wouldn't. The door slid open, and it followed suit. Rocket Laucher. I do hope my coworkers treated you well upon your arrival. //@BoomAndBlast

@BZUKA11111973 @blackrockglory It’s ok dad, I can handle it! [ Rocket gave him a toothy smile, sharp but sweet all the same ] I promise I just want you to be ok…

@BoomAndBlast @blackrockglory .. [ He paused, tensing up at that, clearly growing more distressed by the mention of being traded. ] No- NO! You can’t stay here- I wont let them keep you locked in here- I swear..

@BZUKA11111973 @blackrockglory [ Rocket let out a sigh of relief as he say his father move, putting his hand on the panel ] Dad… I’m so glad you are alive.. no no they.. they didn’t I promise [ Rocket smiled and leaned his head on the panel ] I traded you, …. They said they will let you go. I hope…

@BoomAndBlast @blackrockglory They haven’t hurt you- have they? Hey- hey, I’m here..

@blackrockglory @BZUKA11111973 [ Rocket looked over to the panel before pulling himself over to it ] [ He knocked frantically to get his father’s attention, tears in his eyes ] DAD! DAD CAN YOU HEAR ME!?

@BoomAndBlast Hm. I'll allow it. You have until Radar arrives. *It retreated out of the cell, messing with a panel on the outside as the door closed behind it. Between the two cells, the paneled wall between them shifted opaque, letting the two see each other. //@BZUKA11111973

@blackrockglory … WAIT!- C-Can I see him one last time? Please? [ Rocket reached for it trying to stand but only feeling a jolt of pain shoot up his legs. He just sat there with pleading eyes ]

@BoomAndBlast Of course. You have my word. *It turned away to speak into the radio piece. (Radar, report to cell site B, transfer Rocket Launcher to the Robotics department cells, close to Subspace Tripmine's laboratory.) We'll send in a tram to transport him once you're transferred.

@blackrockglory …. O-ok. But only if you let him go! [ Rocket sat on the ground, his whole body was aching but he needed to be sure his dad would get home ]

@BoomAndBlast We'll let him free of charge, we just need you to comply. A body for a body. I'm sure that's an equal exchange. *Its head tilted to the side, studying the body before it. My coworker will be here soon to transfer you to separate quarters. Fight back and we kill your dad.

@blackrockglory AGH! [ his leg buckled at the kick, the metal bending in ways it was never made to. The thin metal cracked as he hit the floor ] Please… please let him go he didn’t do anything!

@BoomAndBlast No need to use that language now, I'm sure you'd hate to see your dad in worse condition. *It's leg struck out, catching his faux leg and kicking him to the ground. You'll be good to stay obedient with our work.

@blackrockglory [ His body convulsed as he hit the floor of the cell ] [ He tried to get the words out but it only came out as quick breaths and coughs of agony ] N- Ahck- NO! [ the same helpless feeling from back in the lab washing over him like a tsunami ] Plea- se!

@BoomAndBlast She cackled at him, snickering quietly as he calmed down. ] HAH! YOU IDIOT! You SERIOUSLY thought I was willing to help you? It’s ABSURD you haven’t gained the brain capacity to not trust strangers.

[ It wasn’t long until the loud whirring of an engine grew louder. It quickly approached, headlights shining through snow. It approached all too quickly, nearly hitting the other before quickly turning and breaking. Snow shot up from the wheels, practically coating the other in +

@blackrockglory ACK!?- [ Rocket struggled against the choke before trying to summon his gear ] G-get off hck!- ME! [ Rocket summoned his gear about to turn it towards the others face ]

@BoomAndBlast [ She pulled him close, leaning in and whispering now with a snicker. ] Now then, how about we get you cozy in a cell too, eh? I’ll even put you right next to him!

@blackrockglory [ Rocket stood up immediately upon seeing him ] DAD! [ tears filled his eyes as he called out for his father, the smell of blood making him sick and the amount on the floor even worse ] Oh god please be ok…

@BoomAndBlast gets poofed out of existence! Not my fault! Ahem.. is that the guy? It’s gonna be a whole lotta walking if not..

@blackrockglory OW! Jeez man! Warn a guy if your just gonna fling us off like that [ Rocket sat up rubbing his head in pain ] Did we make it? [ Rocket looked around his head pounding and his eyes readjusting to the area ]

@BoomAndBlast ground just in front of a cell holding a certain ex-soldier. ]

@blackrockglory … [ He was silent for a moment before yelling to the other ] I need to find my father, I think they took him prisoner… just get me as close as you can I’ll figure out the rest…

@BoomAndBlast [ Once the other was on, the bike whirred. She placed her goggles on and quickly took off. The bike whizzed through the snow, the other soon yelling to speak to the other. ] Ya never gave me a specific place or thing you needed kid! I need specifics!

@blackrockglory [ Rockets hands shook and against all his better judgment he sat on the bike and held on ] Then let’s go.

@BoomAndBlast Yessir! You got something specific you’re looking for? I’ll bring ya right there. [ She grinned, soon setting up her bike. She hopped onto it, patting a second seat for the other to sit on for the time being. ] Once you’re on, hold on tight!

@blackrockglory [ Rocket was hesitant at first but knew this was his only was to get in quickly ] Fine… [ He pulled his phone out and quickly sent someone a message before looking back to her ] I need to go in… can you get me there quickly?

@BoomAndBlast I’m not insisting on a tour! I’m insisting on leading you where you need to go. They aren’t a fan of us bringing you outsiders into deeper places, so if where /you/ need to go /is/ deeper then I’ll gladly bring ya.

@blackrockglory Must you be so annoying, you are worse that the shitty pink freak you call a scientist [ Rocket finally pulled his hood off, pulling some caught fuzz off his horns ] You are far too insistent of this tour

@BoomAndBlast ‘betray’ the faction to a degree then count me in. [ They snickered, still staying in front of him. They pulled their bike along, leaning against it as they spoke. ]

@blackrockglory … No. [ Rocket stood his ground, still heated from his fight with illumina, a low growl leaving his mouth as he attempted to pass by again ] Don’t you creeps know the meaning of no!?

@BoomAndBlast grinning. ] Listen, this place is /full/ of twists and turns! You’ll get lost and who knows! One of those other Blackrockians might pick on you! It’s a dangerous world out here kid!

@blackrockglory [ Rocket shook the snow off himself like a dog shaking out its wet fur. A pissed look could be seen from under the oversized fluffy hood bundled around his face ] I’m not a tourist. I am just here to get… something and then I will be on my way. [ Rocket attempted to pass by ]

[ Their voice was soft, a slight accent to it as they stepped over, examining the other. ] Well, well, well! What do we have here? You don’t look like you’re from here!

@OrderlyHeights … stop messing with me! I’m tired of you and that other one’s games!! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! I’ll do it myself.

@BoomAndBlast I want to see the path you'll take here, seems to me you are sitting and praying that good will come your way. You have done the right thing by calling for help, that is if the help is efficent enough.

@OrderlyHeights What is it you want from me. You say I’m doing the right thing but the knot in my stomach says otherwise

@BoomAndBlast To some extent yes, though it is something that you can still fix, you have done the right thing by calling for help.
