Hoping, Bouncing, Leaping, Plushie! Gears Wind Into Action!
Soundtrack: Professor Layton's Theme - Professor LaytonMarky was…
He was lost.
Again.
And hey! Before you get on him, he has a good reason this time! Promise! Super Duper Promise!!! You can't break one of those, right?!
So, Marky was trying to head back home from their trip in England right? Meeting up with some overseas friends, checking out that awesome glyph powered ferris wheel, have some fun at the convention. And don't get Marky wrong, he had a great time, and his beloved siblings did too, especially with his friends being cool with his adoptive family.
But when Marky and everyone had to get on the plane…
They may have given him the wrong ticket.
And Marky may have not noticed- or really anyone honestly.
At least until they were all up in the air, then Rabbi noticed.
Which… Piggy wasn't too happy about it, but at least knew not to get loud when they were on the aircraft.
So… thus found Marky now, kneeling with him on the floor in the hotel room they all ordered, in between the two beds that made up the space, pleading for forgiveness up to the person that stood up on the middle table.
She was small, maybe about… one foot tall? One and a half? Her body was pink porcelain, her bottom hooves were all she needed to feel upright, figure more anthropomorphic but… more cartoony if Marky had a word on it. Her arms had her hand-hooves pressed against her sides, her mouth into a scowl as her greenish black, with white numbered pupils started with disdain, ears flicking with every twitch of rage.
"Do you know how much this has cost us?! This room, the extra flight- do you understand how much money we're burning?!"
"I-I know Piggy, I know and I'm sorry that I'm blind as a bat. Really! I Super Duper Promise, with hearts and kisses all wrapped up in it! That's how much of sorry I possibly am!"
Piggy raised her hands up to the sides of her head, walking around on the table, venting her frustrations, "This has at least cost us five hundred and twenty seven dollars and thirty two cents! At least! And another flight is what?! Another three hundred and seventeen dollars and fifty five cents?! And that's only if we wait to book a flight to keep the cost down, which might not be worth it cause this hotel is gonna cost us an arm and a leg to keep staying at! We're gonna go broke! You're 'Super Duper Promise' can be shoved up my metaphorical ass!-"
"Language." A soft, young voice cut in, cutting off Piggy's more crass tone.
"Oh don't you start with me Rabbi! I can fucking cuss-"
"Language!"
"YOU'RE LANGUAGE CAN EAT A DICK!"
Marky looked up from his begging position, his round glasses needing to be readjusted to get a better loom of Rabbi, standing on one of the beds in the room… left maybe? staring at Piggy with a fierce glare, something Piggy was all too happy to return.
Rabbi was around Piggy's side, much of their fur a blueish grey, though their nuzzle and the insides of their long rabbit ears was a lighter blue. Their nose was a soft pink, their beady eyes much more expressive than one would think, with how they were squinting their gaze at Piggy. On the backside of their leg, closer to their tail then pawed foot was an old stitch, mostly faded at this point. Her pawed hands seemed to mirror Piggy's own, in a sort of weird dominance move Rabbi liked to do, their hands more merged together, but they were just as flexible as normal hands would be.
The plush leaned forwards still glaring as she kept her balance, the one break in their blue fur, the red ribbon around their neck, crinkled a bit with the motion.
"You take that back!" Rabbit said with a scowl.
"You stop being such a bitch then!"
"RUDE AND LANGUAGE PIGGY!!!"
"I CAN CURSE ALL. I. WANT!"
A robotic voice cut into their spat, "Can you both please quiet yourselves down a few decibels? As far as anyone knows it's only Marky in here and I'd like to continue reading my book in peace."
Marky's eyes shifted, brushing their grey sweater as they rose off the ground to catch a glimpse at the next of his family.
Sitting on the other bed was another of those Marky saw as siblings, around the height of the others. They had a sleek yet bulky body, their face a screen expressing their squinting eyes as they looked over to the arguing rabbit and pig, soft white in color. Their feet were like plastic boots, their hands cube like with only three fingers and a thumb. Their color was mostly grey, with black tubing around their joins. A bit of them had some blue, like the back on their screened face. On their chest as they sat in front of an open book, a bit larger than their own size, was a number pad one would find on a calculator.
Rabbit folded her arms, taking a seat on the edge of the bed and sighing, "Sorry Circuit, feel free to keep reading in peace."
"Hey no I'm not done with you Rabbi!" Piggy barked, "Seriously! You keep being high and mighty about cursing and I'll fine you a knuckle sandwich!"
Marky took a seat on the floor, seeing no need to actually stand up, though as he moved a few short black strands out of his white freckled face, Marky caught the final of his siblings sitting by the sliding glassdoor to the room's balcony turning around to face everyone.
Slink was canine in shape, their body a lot more fluffy then what you'd expect from the kind of toy he resembled. With red iris in their otherwise normal eyes, Slink's beige muzzle shifted to a worried look. Their body was mostly covered in orange fur, with their ears being a darker shade and stomach with a circle of beige fur to break up the color's flow. Their tail wasn't wagging, a bit of a sign into how they felt as they used one of their pawed hands to help them turn their neck.
Oh and in between their chest and waist was a compressed slinky that their name came from.
"This was supposed to be a fun vacation right?" Slinky questioned, "Then let's have fun! No more dumb arguing!"
Marky was happy to see Piggy moving to sit down alongside Rabbi, both of them not too happy that they made Slink a bit upset with their bickering. Though the boy felt upset as well, not wanting two people he cared for to be upset on what was supposed to be a vacation.
"... Maybe we could try to get some money before trying to head home?" Marky suggested with a bit of trepidation.
Rabbi shook their head, "I don't… we don't know how people would react to one of our shows here. Plus I'm not sure I want to be pulled out of a hat on our vacation."
"I don't know Japanese, so online tutoring has a lower efficiency than back at home," Circuit added.
"And what about doing some 'farming'?" Piggy suggested, "I can make a ton of cash that way!"
Slink giggled, "I don't think there are any scary guys around to do that Piggy, good idea though."
"... I wasn't talking about just fricking monsters-"
"LANG- oh."
Piggy looked at Rabbit with a playful smirk, "Thought I fucking cussed bitch?"
"Bitch!" Rabbit yelled, leaping over to wrestle Piggy in anger, Marky and Slink laughing at their antics and Rabbi's slip of her own.
Things could be bad, but Marky had his siblings, and even if he was a bit young, only fifteen in age, he knew that with them around he would be okay.
Heck, maybe he could get a one off job to get enough to make up for the messed up plane ticket. That would make Piggy happy right?
Suddenly, hearing a noise from outside, everyone paused to look at the balcony doorway.
There was screaming outside, Marky meeting everyone's eyes before they all began to move, Slink already pushing the sliding door open with their small arms to get a better look at who was yelling.
Marky, with their longer legs, was able to get outside first, taking over opening the doorway. Stepping towards the rail and looking down, his jaw dropped at the sight below.
In the middle of the road, with claw marks surrounding it on cars and walls and buildings, with a few people not moving, red leaking from their bodies as others tried to run from the beast was what looked like a wolfman.
The head of a wolf, body like a person, wearing armor that looked handmade but also edgy as hell, with long sharp claws linked onto its hands as it howled in… pride maybe?
But the thing that had Marky the most surprised that this thing… wasn't a Dark Toy!?
Dark Toys, the things Marky had to deal with back home, were like wind-up toys, made by some mad scientist from what Marky could learn from them. They would latch onto someone, using their emotions to merge the Dark Toys with the victim, the now Host becoming a monstrous toy like thing that only wanted to eat up people's happiness.
And his family, the Living Toys that came into his life and helped guide him out of dark times, helped him deal with and eventually leave his old 'family' behind, helped him heal after all was said and done, were the perfect 'snack' for the disgusting monsters.
But this thing wasn't one of them, at least to Marky's eyes.
But… on the other hand, it might just be like those Dark Toys, wanting to eat up people's happiness, and would eat his family whole if they could.
"Rabbi, I need your strength," Marky found himself saying on instinct, not even aware of anything other than this potential threat to those he held dear.
"... I don't get it," Rabbi replied, standing next to his foot, Marky only now noticing how she was holding onto his leg, grip strengthening as she watched the carnage down below, "They shouldn't be here, r-right? That's their one limit, it's…"
Circuit placed a hand on Rabbi's shoulder, "It doesn't matter, in fact, the probability of this one being a Dark Toy is at twelve point three two two six seven. Also, the probability of this one being a risk to us is eighty three point two nine. We take it down, just like always. Most effective path towards regaining lost peace."
Rabbi, even if Marky isn't looking at her, knows the tense expression she hears the numbers Circuit's robotic voice supplies.
Luckily, Slink is there behind her, giving Rabbi a hug with a dumb smile to cheer the plush rabbit up, "You're always amazing Rabbi! You'll take 'em down!"
Piggy stood a fair bit back, which fair, long fall scary, "Does it have to be Rabbi this time? Why not Slink?"
Marky, eyes still staring right at the monster, spoke up in a hushed tone, "It's fast, really super fast. Being faster is better, and we can't taggy if you're all up here."
"Right, then shall we do this?" Rabbi asked with an almost hidden tint of worry.
Marky smiled, wary as well but his desire to protect his family burning through it all, "Let's!"
Raising up a grey smooth sweater, Marky revealed a strange object around his waist, something that liked to be there only when needed.
A special belt.
It was hard and almost plasticy in texture, but what was most strange was the object that sat in front of Marky's waist, a black box with golden gears on its front, all flowing into a black and gold crank handle pointing forwards.
With a motion, Marky moved to press a button that sat hidden on the top of the geared device.
(Soundtrack Change!: Zero One & Zero Two Theme (Real x Time Ver.) - Kamen Rider)
[SEARCHING, LINKING, SOUL FOUND!]
[GEAR IN HAND]
Like magic, a grey blueish object appeared in Marky's free hand, something that looked like a thumb drive if it had a gear on its front, an image of a rabbit in the center of the light cyan gear.
With practiced motion, Marky took the object and stuck it into the left side of the device- right side for those looking at the child.
With a press in, the geared object locked into place with the receiving socket, its gear flush with golden gears of the strange device.
[GEAR LOCK IN]
[Plushie Bunny!~]
*CRANK* *CRANK* *CRANK* *CRANK* *CRANK*
Round and Round Marky turned the handle of the device, spinning its gear as tension built. With every rotation, Rabbi standing beside his leg began to glow brighter and brighter, illuminating the otherwise dark night air.
*CRANK* *CRAN-* *CHA-CHING!*
With a sound accompanying it, the crank of the device locked in place, wound up to its max.
With a well practiced word, Marky spoke the awaited word.
"HENSHIN!"
Letting go of the handle, the device's gears began to unwind, Rabbit turning into a shining ball of greyish blue light, enveloping Marky's form.
With a simple swing, making sure to be clear of the others, Marky vaulted over the railings on the balcony.
The images of a well known armor, wireframe in nature began to float over his limbs and chest.
Wireframes of a mask pressed against his face, along with the rest of it's cohorts as Marky's body crashed into the street below.
Instead of the shattering of concrete or the breaking of legs, the figure that was once Marky bounced up into the air, landing feet first on the ground below.
[Hoping, Bouncing, Leaping, Plushie!]
Standing in the center of the road, with the posture of bravery and confidence, stood the union of Rabbi and Marky.
Grey Blueish armor surrounded their arms and legs, feet styled like rabbits and hands bearing short claws and fingerpads. More of that same armor covered their chest, in the cracks of their from a more lighter colored blue, much softer to sight then their blue shell. On their back, between their hips was a flush rabbit tail. Their face covered by a mask, or maybe helmet? It had large yellow static eyes, long plush ears drooping down their back, and a short unmoving mouth snout in the center of their face. Rounding it out with a red ribbon wrapped around their neck, tied up just a bit to their right side.
With a unified motion, the figure pointed at the wolf monster, perplexed by the sudden intrusion.
"Stealer of Joy, you who know no end to your Gluttony, Intervention strikes in with rabbit speed!"
"We are Tinker! And today you'll super duper regret running into us~!"
With a roar, the beast gave no intelligent remark, its only response to swing its claws, sending out a wave of rushing energy towards the now named Tinker.
A wave of light no normal person could dodge is easily sidestepped by the rabbit hero, and with another step their right beside the foe.
With a knee to their chest if their right leg to move them back, and a twisting kick with their left helped to knock the monster down to the ground. It roared as it wriggled, trying to get upright on its posture.
Tinker left them no time for that, rushing in with a kick to arc them against a building wall, a small crash on the impact as they get sent rolling onto the ground again.
Carrying the momentum, the beast rushes for Tinker, the armored hero raising their arm to block an overhead slash, the strong plates on their arm catching the blades.
Pulling an arm back, they jab a fist into the wolf's stomach, knocking the wind from their lungs, letting Tinker unleash a barrage of punches.
A final punch to their face sends them flying to the side, Tinker seeing their chance!
Once again, they begin to crank the belted device around their waist, winding up the gears.
*CRANK* One! *CRANK* Two! *CRAN-*
On the third rotation of the handle, the wolf beast lashes out for another desperate soaring claw attack, Tinker giving up fully charging their gears in favor of dashing out of the way.
"Don't think that saved you buddy!" Tinker called out, Marky's and Bunni's voices paired together to form their voice.
With the handle let go, the handle was already unwinding, reaching back to its starting position with a click!
[Third Gear : Bouncing Hops!]
Energy gathered around their legs, shining golden and blue.
With a hop to a wall, Tinker's legs impacted on its surface, energy gathering as they launched to another. Again and again, gathering up speed, unable to be attacked by the slower wolf's attacks-
Until Tinker's leg impacted against the wolf's face!
Again and again, using the wolf as another surface, Tinker barraged them with a swarm of hopping kicks, their attacks becoming after images as they built up speed!
With a final strike, imbuing it with all of their speed, they crashed right into the face of the monster, launching it down the road and into an abandoned truck, the metal of its side indenting hard with the impact.
As the wolf peeled off like slime, falling to the ground with a thud and trying to stand, Tinker saw their moment!
One! Two! Three! Four! Five!
"That should be plenty of charge! Let's finish this, you big bad wolf!"
Letting go of the handle, the gears began to unwound once again, the device speaking up with its booming voice!
[FULL CHARGE FINISHER]
[SKY RABBIT KICK!]
With a leap into the air, energy gathering into their body, Tinker reaches high into the air, almost 6 stories up where their room was, and rushes down, a burst of energy sending them flying into the monster below!
The wolf beast, seeing the danger, rushes to escape but alas!
With a single kick that soars straight through, energy sparks along the monster body-
Before with a glorious explosion, the monster is no more! Tinker simply stands there for a moment, letting themself breathe as fire dances and extinguishes behind him.
Turning to where the wolf monster once was, unlike the man Dark Toys Tinker had faced before, instead of a hurt person and a damaged Dark Toy, all that was left was a strange dark object, almost like a seed.
Knowing that can't be good, Tinker with a rushed movement stomps onto the object, shattering it and letting the darkness it contained drift into the open air, disappearing from view.
"Well, that wasn't too bad! You're both a great combination as always!" Tinker spoke to… themself? Yet before anything could be done about that, a yell sounded from nearby.
One of the people on the ground- well actually all of them were still breathing it sounded like. That's good! But one of them was awake and pointing right at them!
Like inhuman speed, Tinker right right beside the middle aged woman, kneeling and checking them over, "Are you bleeding badly miss? I can super duper-"
"G-Get away from me you fucking monster!" The woman cried at Tinker's figure.
With a slap of hand to skin, the woman was forced to look to the side, stunned and clarity mixing together from the impact of Tinker's hand to their cheek.
"Language!"
Tinker paused, looking down at their hand for a moment before covering where their mouth would be.
Right, no more sticking around! With a rushed run away, in a full dead sprint, Tinker fled the scene before that lady got angry at them for slapping her!
Up above, looking down from the balcony, having gotten the courage to get close to the edge, Piggy was full on hollering in laughter at the exchange below.
----
(Soundtrack Change: It's Delicious - Isekai Shokudou)
After the hectic battle below and detransforming, Marky had to make their way back to their hotel room, which was a little hard 'cause…
You know… the like ten people hurt by the wolf monster outside making it a situation.
And situations weren't really good for keeping down low with an apologetic plush rabbit in your arms. They also weren't good for feeling bad. Marky…
They wished they could do more for those people. No one died yeah, but scars just don't go away like that. They might have to do rehab for a while, maybe get surgery if it's bad enough. That puts strain on money and on their time, and it just sucks. Especially hearing how that lady was telling the cops how he slapped her-
Or like someone who he remembers being? Tinker was a strange thing. They were the same person, no matter who went into using the device. And yes, that included someone else being the one to wear the belt device. So like…
Circuit said it best. Marky only had the memories of when he was using Tinker, and Circuit only had the memories of when Circuit was using Tinker, but Tinker had access to all of those memories, no matter who they came from.
Bleh, Tinker is a silly wonky thing, best not to think much about it. It's only gonna make Marky's head blow up.
But still, I felt bad to hear that woman talk about something he sorta did, and while he wanted to hear, 'cause it was his fault… Rabbi went ahead and turned both her's and Marky's translator runes off, not wanting either of them to hear it.
When they made it back to the room, Marky having to walk barefoot cause they sorta rushed with the jumping out of the room thing, everyone had a talk about the whole monster thing and well…
"WE'RE IDIOTS! FUCKING IDIOTS!!!"
"Lan- actually okay I deserve it this time."
Piggy shook her head at Rabbi, "No! I mean us! All of us! Especially me! Stupid fear of heights means nothing to it!"
Circuit tilted their head a bit, "That would be?"
"Money! That guy was a push over! We could have spammed Nickel And Dine on them and made back the money we've already spent!"
Marky hummed, "Well… we know monsters exist here right? Even if they're not Dark Toys… let's go fetch a monster tomorrow then!"
Rabbi sighed, "And this was supposed to be a vacation…"
Sitting beside her, Slink patted her head with a soft smile, "Well it might be fun, we could have enough money to go look at some fun places around Tokyo before we go home!"
And with that, plans were made to go hunt down some monsters the following day to get enough money for the plane ticket back home.
It… might take them more than a day to do so.

I am extremely vulnerable to the power of love. The living world may recognize only one law, whose name is Wasp, but there is so much beauty in being more than that.

@Kermie I'm caught up on the main story now. That stride the action scenes hit has been maintained & it's great to see. The Archmages were quite charming, and the scene with Kirata after that crit fail was a very touching bit of characterization & worldbuilding. That said, by GOD does Rei need a secretary/mission control. Poor girl ain't gonna be able to put off the "wtf is my romantic preference" question for long either, you know Rachael & Trista are about to make it weird.
As far as Fuji goes, and I say this with all the love in my heart as a genuine gesture of affection, I want to shove him in a locker.

Just woke up and interesting Omake Realm!
Also happy you caught up Morrowlark!
Also also, in my defense Sometimes when Kermie decides to ask for rolls Im "usually" one of the few people here with EP so sometimes I get to use it before Realm gets here, which makes me want to get a stock back up just in case of emergencies (Project Prometheus has given me anxiety. Lol). Well that and the omake "phase" didnt help.
Ive gotten better though! Havent posted anything in Ages! (My standards are deeper than tartarus at the moment).
I do have plans for... hmm 3 omakes atm, but Ill only post them once my EP is lower. Besides Im only on the first one atm because its rather long, the other 2 will Hopefully be shorter.
Edit: I commend anyone that decides to make Video game fics, so much stuff you need to write... and Ive skipped a LOT tbh...

I am now completely caught up. The higher I rise the more I see.
Now I just need to learn the mechanics. Or get someone to explain them. Or both.
