Are you still alive?
I honestly don’t know at this point, been really busy with stuff and all that. I’ve been considering rebooting or starting new blogs but so far, I’ve been very busy and trying to fix things in my life and working to be better overall. Sorry I’ve been away for so long, I’m still alive but I might be away for a while longer until I sort things out.
cluster-of-the-11th-liners:
“I never seen yoku blocks before, they are so cool!!!” Block Man gushes like a little child, “To be able to make yoku blocks so easily, you’re amazing!!”
He then blushes in embarrassment, “Eheh… Sorry, I got a little carried away. I get excited so easily.”
“Oh please, don’t be! Most are quite impressed when seeing yoku blocks for the first time!”
The illusionist said, trying to take away the smaller bot’s worries over his excitement.
“OH, I almost forgot!”
Turning his back and rummaging thought a handbag, he quickly took out a cube; it was a mini yoku block!
“I don’t like giving out autographs all that much, so I instead like to give out something I like better; mini yoku blocks!”
“Oh, thanks.” Block Man said sheepishly but was almost left speechless when he saw the mini yoku block.
“W-woah!! Really? Y-you’d give me this?” Block Man asks in surprise and slight disbelief, looking at the mini yoku block with wonder.
TODAY'S THE DAY LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
The 11th liners all collectively let out a breath of relief, except for Fuse Man who came back with Watt.
“Here, to help calm your systems.” He said, offering the rabbit to Magic Man as Tundra Man apologises, “I’m sorry Rock, we should have said something about Magic being here beforehand—“
“But, you just arrived.” Impact Man stated, making Tundra Man blink in surprise. “O-oh. Right.”
Magic Man would be happy to see Watt, as he’d gently hold the rabbit in his arms and snuggle him close. “Ooh, hello there lil’ Watt…~” he’d coo as he snuggles the rabbit, whilst Rock is still trying to assess the situation.
“It’s okay Tundra Man! Like Impact Man said, you only just arrived.” he states. “But, hmm… so Magic Man is actively deserting King’s forces, and he made it up to be an infiltration mission? Well… that is smart, if not a bit bold, but… Magic, I think you need to realize, King might very well contact you sooner or later, and if he catches onto your bluff… he’ll want answers.”
“Ah, y-yeah… I know.” Magic Man sighs, petting over Watt’s head. “But I’ll run this act for as long as I can… and if it ever comes to me being found out, well… I’ll deal with it then, Rock. Trust me.”
“I know, but… I just worry for you, Magic Man. You seem to genuinely want to start anew…” then he’d nod firmly, a look of determination on his face. “Don’t worry, Magic Man. Me and Bass beat King once before. He’ll have to try much harder if he wants to beat at least me!”
“You’re right Rock, Impact..” Tundra Man nods as Watt happily snuggles back.
At the mention of King, Blast Man smirked, “We’ll also help protect Magic from whoever this King guy is!”
Ah, right. The 11th liners weren’t around or in some cases, were still beta bots during King’s first attack.
“I did the research, do not worry.” Fuse Man added.
“Woah woah WAIT ROCKY NO!!!!” Blast Man screamed in a panic as Block Man and Bounce Man jumped up in front of Rick to block whatever shot there may be. “Rock wait!! Magic is good! He changed!”
“Rock, listen, Magic Man is not a bad robot anymore!” Acid Man yelped, ready to activate his barrier if needed as Tundra Man shields Magic Man from whatever blast there is, utterly terrified.
“Rock-Kun, Magic-San has changed. He left King’s forces and wishes to better himself. He means no harm.” Torch Man said, placing a gentle and warm hand on Rock’s right arm turned blaster. “He is working on redeeming, it is alright. There is no need for combat.”
Rock was standing perfectly still, even as Torch Man put his hand on his blaster arm, but his breaths were short and sharp, and his cannon-arm was even shivering slightly. He was holding himself from firing, but… the urge to was still there. But Torch Man’s words calmed him down, and his arm morphed back to a regular one as he’d let out his breath, and then breathed in again. “S-Sorry, Magic Man… I just–… n-nevermind.”
“N-N-No, it’s… it’s o-okay…” Magic Man whimpers as he’s still cowering behind Tundra Man, visibly shivering all over. “I-I get it, Mega Man… I-I used to work for King and a-all… b-but it’s fine! I-I swear, Torch is t-telling the truth!”
“Look, I–… I don’t doubt Torch Man, so I won’t doubt you, Magic Man.” Rock said, relaxing for now as he would then look up at Magic Man, watching as he’d relax and stand back up. “So… you abandoned King’s forces? How? Doesn’t he have, like, extreme supervision of you guys?”
“N-Not to the extremes you’d think, heh… t-to be honest, I think he’s so overly confident that… t-that he just takes our words for what they are. T-Though I DID of course put on my theatrical flair to make him believe me more, h-heh…”
“… Hmm. Well, you were a rather amazing performer, even when I fought you. So, makes sense to me!” Rock said, smiling again. “Well… glad to have you on the team then, Magic Man!”
The 11th liners all collectively let out a breath of relief, except for Fuse Man who came back with Watt.
“Here, to help calm your systems.” He said, offering the rabbit to Magic Man as Tundra Man apologises, “I’m sorry Rock, we should have said something about Magic being here beforehand—“
“But, you just arrived.” Impact Man stated, making Tundra Man blink in surprise. “O-oh. Right.”
“Hmhmmm... Hmmmmhm... Hmhmhmmmhmhmmmm...” A young man was in a skating rink. With a kimono being the only thing he was, he was, surprisingly, skating on the ice with little to no issue. In fact, he was doing ballet on the ice rink. “With the dignity and grace, as though one is a swan, I always cut and paste, only to cry at the sound of dawn...” The young man sung to himself, maintaining both elegance and grace. (~legion-of-stationary)
Tundra Man was skating along when he heard someone enter the rink. Confused, he watched the strange man skate on the ice. Wow, this person is good!
“Oh? You spar?” Tundra Man says before listening to what Scissors was saying. “I see, so that’s why they call you that.”
“That is understandable, it would be very boring to just instantly win, and who knows? Perhaps they could be strong enough to be a worthy opponent.” He muses.
“Hmhmmm... Hmmmmhm... Hmhmhmmmhmhmmmm...” A young man was in a skating rink. With a kimono being the only thing he was, he was, surprisingly, skating on the ice with little to no issue. In fact, he was doing ballet on the ice rink. “With the dignity and grace, as though one is a swan, I always cut and paste, only to cry at the sound of dawn...” The young man sung to himself, maintaining both elegance and grace. (~legion-of-stationary)
Tundra Man was skating along when he heard someone enter the rink. Confused, he watched the strange man skate on the ice. Wow, this person is good!
“Oh, greetings as well, my name is Tundra Man.” Tundra Man said, bowing as well. Scissors huh? What an odd name, but he’s not one to talk considering how one of his brothers is named Ring Man.
“Why yes, I do take part in ice skating, it is my passion!~” he said quite elegantly. “But I do love ballet, I loved it ever since my sister introduced it to me.”
“Hmhmmm... Hmmmmhm... Hmhmhmmmhmhmmmm...” A young man was in a skating rink. With a kimono being the only thing he was, he was, surprisingly, skating on the ice with little to no issue. In fact, he was doing ballet on the ice rink. “With the dignity and grace, as though one is a swan, I always cut and paste, only to cry at the sound of dawn...” The young man sung to himself, maintaining both elegance and grace.

Tundra Man was skating along when he heard someone enter the rink. Confused, he watched the strange man skate on the ice. Wow, this person is good!
As soon as that announcement comes, Blast Man whooped and ruffled Rock’s hair. “Nice!! That was fcking intense! You’re really good!!!”
“Language!” Acid Man snaps but it wasn’t very harsh as Impact Man scoops up Blast Man and Rock. “YOU BOTH WERE AMAZING!!!!!!”
“That was so cool and tense and- Itms just awesome!!!” Block Man said with awe as Bounce Man happily bounced around with glee. There were clapping as well as Tundra Man is here! “Hi, that was spectacular Rock!”
Rock giggles as Blast Man ruffles his hair firmly, then even laughs again as he’s scooped up by Impact Man and hugged by him. He just laughs and hugs both of them back, and then he’d spot Tundra Man over Impact Man’s shoulders. “Tundra Man~!” he calls out as he’d hop out of Impact Man’s arms, running over to greet him–
But then stopped as yet another Robot Master rounded the corner into the living room, having been woken up by all the ruckus; Magic Man. “Uuh, morning guys… sorry I slept in for so lo–!”
As soon as Rock spotted Magic Man, his body froze up, as did Magic Man’s. But for different reasons. Rock froze up as his body was engaging in a fight-or-flight situation, whilst Magic froze up with fear of seeing Rock, or as he knew him, Mega Man. In a flash of light, Rock’s right arm warped and changed out to his trusty Mega Buster, and Magic Man yelps as he seeks cover behind Tundra Man.
“Magic Man! Get away from my friend, and explain why you’re here!” he’d exclaim, as Magic Man was just whimpering behind Tundra Man.
“Woah woah WAIT ROCKY NO!!!!” Blast Man screamed in a panic as Block Man and Bounce Man jumped up in front of Rick to block whatever shot there may be. “Rock wait!! Magic is good! He changed!”
“Rock, listen, Magic Man is not a bad robot anymore!” Acid Man yelped, ready to activate his barrier if needed as Tundra Man shields Magic Man from whatever blast there is, utterly terrified.
“Rock-Kun, Magic-San has changed. He left King’s forces and wishes to better himself. He means no harm.” Torch Man said, placing a gentle and warm hand on Rock’s right arm turned blaster. “He is working on redeeming, it is alright. There is no need for combat.”
Blast Man was in the zone, he was playing Villager surprisingly well. He smiled as he beat Pit down and doesn’t let up… Until Pit starts doing some serious whooping.
“Oh I do Rock, I do!!” He growled in excitement as he starts getting serious, there was a firey glint in his eyes. He’s getting very competitive.
“Oh, alright then! Let’s give it our best!” Rock cheers happily as the two of them just go all at it. Items were used, throws were pulled, and pixel-perfect hits were confirmed. It all came down to each of their last stock, and both were at least slightly over the 100% bar.
For a moment, it looked like Blast was going to win, but…
In the end, Rock managed to perform a perfect dodge-into-up combo that sent the Villager hurtling into the top of the screen, followed by the loud, infamous declaration of;
“GAME! Pit wins!”
As soon as that announcement comes, Blast Man whooped and ruffled Rock’s hair. “Nice!! That was fcking intense! You’re really good!!!”
“Language!” Acid Man snaps but it wasn’t very harsh as Impact Man scoops up Blast Man and Rock. “YOU BOTH WERE AMAZING!!!!!!”
“That was so cool and tense and- Itms just awesome!!!” Block Man said with awe as Bounce Man happily bounced around with glee. There were clapping as well as Tundra Man is here! “Hi, that was spectacular Rock!”
“Get ready for a butt-whooping Mega!” Blast Man grinned as they start.
“YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!” Impact Man boomed as Block Man and Bounce Man eagerly watch and cheer.
The fight was intense, and truly, Rock was a bit caught off-guard at times with how Blast Man was able to handle Villager so well. They were playing with Stock rules, maximum stocks and unlimited time. Rock was down on his last two, whilst Blast was still at max.
But then… slowly, but surely, Rock began to take back the lead, and tick down Blast Man’s stocks. Five… four… three… all the way down to two each. “Still think you got it in ya, Blast Man?” he’d chuckle as the clacking of keys were all that was heard.
Blast Man was in the zone, he was playing Villager surprisingly well. He smiled as he beat Pit down and doesn’t let up... Until Pit starts doing some serious whooping.
“Oh I do Rock, I do!!” He growled in excitement as he starts getting serious, there was a firey glint in his eyes. He’s getting very competitive.
Opinions on Ballet?
“Ballet is wonderful!~”
“It’s fine.”
“IT FCKING SUCKS!!!!!”
“Ok ok don’t worry!!” Blast Man said, taking the controller. “Let’s do this!”
“I got the popcorn!!” Bounce Man said happily. Blast Man smirked as he chose… Villager?
“I thought you would pick someone more explosive.” Impact Man said, the explosion bot smiles, “Dude, Villager is great.”
“Heh, color me surprised! I thought you’d go for one of those, too.” Rock chuckles as he’d hop up on the couch next to Blast Man, as he’d end up going for Pit. “But don’t worry, I’ll go easy on ya, Blast Man!”
“Get ready for a butt-whooping Mega!” Blast Man grinned as they start.
“YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!” Impact Man boomed as Block Man and Bounce Man eagerly watch and cheer.
“No, we understand and don’t worry, you didn’t bring up any bad memories. It’s more like, ‘We-Don’t-Know-A-Proper-Response-So-This-May-Be-Awkward kind of thing.” Block Man explains as Impact Man and Blast Man lit up at the sight of the switch.
“Me!! Me!!!” Blast Man excitedly exclaimed as Impact Man also says, “We want to play too!”
“Haha, alright alright, relax! I’ll get it set up then!” Rock chuckles as he walks over towards the living room T.V as he begins to hook up the Switch’s docking station to the T.V and all that. “I just got this the other week or so though, so please do be careful! I know that SOME of you can be sore losers…” he spoke, more in a playful manner, but also making it clear that he did not want any smashed controllers or the like.
“So, who wants a go against me first?” he grins playfully as he holds up two sets of controllers. “Gotta warn ya though, I’m pretty vicious with my main!”
“Ok ok don’t worry!!” Blast Man said, taking the controller. “Let’s do this!”
“I got the popcorn!!” Bounce Man said happily. Blast Man smirked as he chose... Villager?
“I thought you would pick someone more explosive.” Impact Man said, the explosion bot smiles, “Dude, Villager is great.”
“Oh yeah, I can’t really blame her. My mama still wants to murder the heck out of Wily if she could even if he’s redeemin’. And I’m on the same boat as her, I and Fuse can’t forgive Wily.” Blast Man said, holding back a growl as Fuse Man simply nods.
“Momma said she’s willing to move on, but she said that she will still not forgive Mr Wily.” Bounce Man adds.
“I believe all our creators except for mine and Tundra-Kun’s are unwilling to forgive Wily.” Torch Man said, “My creator said that he forgave Wily, but only because he witnessed people did much worse than him. I, did not know what to say to that.”
Rock could tell that his rambling had soured the mood a bit, and so he looked a bit dejected, sighing as he would make the hologram disappear. “Oh, uh… sorry, everyone. I didn’t mean to bring up any bad memories. I just… like to look back at things sometimes. To make myself remember that I’ve done a lot of good! If… that makes sense?”
“Err, regardless! Since both you guys and I are free today, anyone wanna do something?” he’d pull something out from his shorts pocket, revealing he had a Nintendo Switch stashed away. “I’ve got my Switch and a copy of Smash Bros. Ultimate if anyone wanna play against me!”
“No, we understand and don’t worry, you didn’t bring up any bad memories. It’s more like, ‘We-Don’t-Know-A-Proper-Response-So-This-May-Be-Awkward kind of thing.” Block Man explains as Impact Man and Blast Man lit up at the sight of the switch.
“Me!! Me!!!” Blast Man excitedly exclaimed as Impact Man also says, “We want to play too!”
“Time-zones… Quick travelling from Japan to here is great, but it has its drawbacks.” Torch Man said, the others nod in agreement.
“Yeah, sometimes our mental clocks won’t change immediately when we teleport to a new country, and it messes up our time, especially for some of us who have chargin’ times.” Blast Man said shaking his head. “It confuses the f—heck out of our sensors.”
“There is not anything that can be done though, it is unavoidable…” Torch Man muses, “At the very least, it is temporary.”
“Huh… I couldn’t tell sadly, I haven’t travelled too much since the X Tournament event happened, and even then I was too focused on the mission to even bother noticing my mental clock acting up.” Rock said as he’d think back on that event… the 6th time that Wily decided to hijack robots again, and this time it was international ones.
“Wily made a lot of enemies that day… I hope he realizes that.” Rock sighs. “Even if Papa Light told me that he sounds sincere about redeeming himself, he gotta realize that a lot of people around the world still aren’t happy with what he did. I heard that Knight Man’s creator got real upset hearing that her creation was used for violence… I’ve actually met her, too!” he’d press a button on his wrist as a holo-projector emerged from the palm of his hand, and it projected an image of Rock atop of Knight Man’s shoulders, joined by a woman in a lab coat with lush hair strapped into a ponytail.
“She’s Dr. Angela Züell, a German-Swiss roboticist who’s tried to quell the animosity between humans and robots/mechanoids in both Germany and Switzerland. She said she made Knight Man to prove that robot masters can be great defenders and protectors of humans.”
“Oh yeah, I can’t really blame her. My mama still wants to murder the heck out of Wily if she could even if he’s redeemin’. And I’m on the same boat as her, I and Fuse can’t forgive Wily.” Blast Man said, holding back a growl as Fuse Man simply nods.
“Momma said she’s willing to move on, but she said that she will still not forgive Mr Wily.” Bounce Man adds.
“I believe all our creators except for mine and Tundra-Kun’s are unwilling to forgive Wily.” Torch Man said, “My creator said that he forgave Wily, but only because he witnessed people did much worse than him. I, did not know what to say to that.”
“We don’t have anything planned, we’re all currently on break.” Acid Man said as Torch Man finally comes, though he looks sort of out of it.
“My apologies, the time zones seemed to have messed up my clock.” Torch Man said before he noticed Rock, “Oh, helllo Rock-Kun.”
“Oh, well that’s great too! I could hang out with–” then he notices Torch Man stepping in, as he’d smile wide and rush over to him. “Hey, Torch Man! How you doing?” he’d ask, before he notices Torch Man being sort of out of it.
“What’s the matter? You look like something’s bothering you. Is it the time-zones, or… something else?”
“Time-zones... Quick travelling from Japan to here is great, but it has its drawbacks.” Torch Man said, the others nod in agreement.
“Yeah, sometimes our mental clocks won’t change immediately when we teleport to a new country, and it messes up our time, especially for some of us who have chargin’ times.” Blast Man said shaking his head. “It confuses the f—heck out of our sensors.”
“There is not anything that can be done though, it is unavoidable...” Torch Man muses, “At the very least, it is temporary.”
“Yep! Torchy’s busy with work and Tundra’s visiting his family!” Bounce Man said but the mention of the fellow ice skater’s creator caught their attention.
“Oh yeah, you should when you have the time! I can help give you time to visit him if you want Rock!” Block Man said with determination while Acid Man mutters to himself, “How is that man so strong?..”
“Well… right now, I got all the time I want! So, I think I’m gonna visit him once I’m done hanging out with you guys.” Rock chuckles. “Unless you all had things planned for today, ‘cause then I could probably just head on over to Cossack’s citadel.”
“We don’t have anything planned, we’re all currently on break.” Acid Man said as Torch Man finally comes, though he looks sort of out of it.
“My apologies, the time zones seemed to have messed up my clock.” Torch Man said before he noticed Rock, “Oh, helllo Rock-Kun.”
