Journey\u2019s log. Mobius Date: February 25th, 4017. Stardate: 1622095.38, for Star Trek<\/em> nerds, like myself. I had met up with Misty, nice girl, by the way, and while she couldn\u2019t help since, as Amy said, technomagic is beyond most Mobians, she did tell me of some magic hotspots on the continents of Chun-nan, Mazuri, and Spagonia, respectively known as Asia, Africa, and Europe in the past. As Station Square was on the east coast of the continent of Imperia, formerly known as North America, I decided to head further East. So, I arrived on an island chain\u2026outside\u2026of\u2026Chun-Nan\u2026\u2026I need my compass fixed. In any case, walking around Mobian Japan is quite the interesting experience. There\u2019s still a sense of mysticism and modern society blending together. And, of course, there\u2019s still the best entertainment on the planet. From what Misty has told me, there are Wizards and Witches in the, apparently still in business, Toei Studios. I decided to start there. The cast and crew of a show came out and I explained my plight to them. \u201cSo, can you guys do anything?\u201d I asked. I had hoped the fox girl in the lab coat was an actual scientist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell,\u201d mused the fox, \u201cI could add some text to it. Maybe a flash noise or a new coloring job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait, aren\u2019t you a scientist?!\u201d I yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d answered the fox. \u201cI\u2019m a manga artist playing a Kamen Rider!\u201d After a few minutes of talking, I found that the fox, Yumiko, had gotten a contract to be the first woman to play the titular Rider in the new Kamen Rider Quill<\/em>. It was a fantasy show with an artist theme. Her default form is a black bodysuit with silver armor and a silver helmet looking like a pen tip with red compound eyes. She fights the evil Cuttrior and his Sinoid generals. Cuttrior wants to tear the world of fiction apart and uses the Sinoids, named after the seven deadly sins, to do so. After obtaining her transformation belt, the Author Driver, Kamen Rider Quill fights to protect her people with art based attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, really,\u201d remarked Quill\u2019s suit actor, another fox, \u201cwhen this \u2018Misty\u2019 person told you about Wizards and Witches in Toei Studios<\/em>, she meant more in the editing department.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAny of them actually magic users?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSorry,\u201d sighed Yumiko. \u201cI have no clue. I\u2019d still ask around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you for your help,\u201d I replied, bowing. After a while, I was given a pass to go into the editing department. After asking around, I found a human Wizard, Takeshi. After I told him the story, he started looking at my gun with a sonic screwdriver he had enchanted. After no results, I suggested the red setting. No results. After Takeshi confirmed he didn\u2019t know much in the way of my people\u2019s connection to magic, I thanked him for his help and headed out of the studio and wandered around Tokyo for a while. It didn\u2019t last long as I heard explosions and screaming citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSOMEONE HELP!\u201d screamed a woman\u2019s voice. I turned in the direction of the explosions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho, me?\u201d I asked with a grin. I charged headlong towards the source to see a robot. Three guesses who\u2019s controlling it. If you guessed Baldy McNosehair, you win! Eggman had a new robot that looked more like a ball with red circles for eyes and a set of tank treads on the front and back. The Omelette Dictator was laughing in his Egg-mobile when I arrived at the scene. When I clapped optics on his new toy, I was unimpressed. \u201cYou\u2019re serious about this?\u201d I said in a deadpan tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, Orion Pax, if I recall!\u201d cheered Eggman. \u201cSay hello to the Eggatron!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy the unholy stomach of the Destroyer, what kind of a stupid name is that?!\u201d I sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStupid?!\u201d snapped Eggman, offended. \u201cWhat do you mean stupid?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Eggatron\u2019? Dude, you can do better than that!\u201d I wailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, but you don\u2019t know what this baby can do!\u201d giggled Eggman. He then docked his Egg-mobile with the robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKnock it off, Egg-breath!\u201d I hissed as I transformed. \u201cWe both know how this is going to end. I\u2019m just going to go over there, tear that thing a new one, and\u2026!\u201d Then\u2026it happened. The rear treads flipped to the sides and segmented into two parts joined by elbows. They sprouted five digited hands. A metal canopy slammed down to protect the pilot. It was sporting a robot version of Eggman\u2019s fat head. The front treads brought the darn thing on two feet. The whole transformation went by so fast that he managed to score a sucker punch! \u201cARGH! MY NOSE!\u201d I shouted as I massaged my olfactory sensors. I heard Fatso laughing and it seemed to be coming from the robot\u2019s head! It even had facial expressions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSomething wrong, Orion?!\u201d asked Eggman. \u201cYou came here, expecting to fight a simple robot and yet you find\u2026A NEW TRANSFORMER!!\u201d He started laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe heck is that thing?!\u201d I quizzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis, my young friend,\u201d replied Eggman, \u201cis the result of sifting through Shockwave\u2019s files on cloning! Not really my first option to use a body for a mech suit, but, \u2018adopt, adapt, and improve\u2019 is a scientist\u2019s creed.\u201d My optics went wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou discovered our CNA!\u201d I guessed. \u201cYou can grow your own T-Cog!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow you understand the implications of simply making my own instead of going through you Autobots when I dig a Cybertronian up,\u201d laughed Eggman. \u201cSo, you wanna go a few rounds?!\u201d He slammed his fists together. \u201cCome get some!\u201d I got into a ready stance. Eggman threw a roundhouse kick, which I blocked, leaving me open for a punch. This time, it was to the gut. Then another kick threw me into a building. The military had arrived on the scene and started firing. Eggman switched a red energy shield on and deflected the shots. I got between the reflected shots and the soldiers. Thankfully, it didn\u2019t hurt that much. Eggman took the advantage and slammed both fists onto my back! I fell to the ground. Eggman raised a club, ready to split me open. Something zapped him and made him stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHuh?\u201d I muttered. Then, I saw it\u2026her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, now,\u201d purred the femme. She was a voluptuous bot with a purple and black color scheme. \u201cNever thought I\u2019d see the great Optimus Prime in a weakened state,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho are you?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSomeone who\u2019s\u2026toxic,\u201d hissed the femme. \u201cThough, if you want a name, I\u2019m Blackarachnia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet me guess, spider holo-form?\u201d I muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlack Widow, to be precise,\u201d purred Blackarachnia. She then jabbed me in the chest. Something coursed through my tubes as I fell. \u201cSee you around, Red, White, and Blue,\u201d remarked Blackarachnia as she took off. I was in a bit of pain for a while. After it passed, I got up, clearing my processor. Eggman had fled, taking his Transformer suit with him. This journey just got crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Bumblebee headed to Optimus\u2019 office. The Holo-Droid summoned him for some reason that escaped him. He hadn\u2019t done anything wrong, had he? He knocked softly on the door. \u201cCome in,\u201d called Optimus\u2019 voice. Bumblebee came in to see the Holo-Droid looking over something on its temporary desk. It then gave its attention to Bumblebee. \u201cAh, Bee, good to see you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou wanted to see me?\u201d asked Bumblebee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d replied the Holo-Droid. \u201cIt\u2019s about the rants you give. You know, the ones about your height?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat about them?\u201d quizzed Bumblebee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s starting to get on our nerves, little guy,\u201d explained the Holo-Droid. \u201cSo, if you could knock it off, that would be awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Little?\u201d hissed Bumblebee. \u201cDid you say little?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEr, yeah?\u201d confirmed the Holo-Droid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026\u2026WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN ATOM SIZED\u2026?!\u201d Bumblebee didn\u2019t get very far as the Holo-Droid placed its hand on his chest and made the external image pass into Bumblebee\u2019s chest. He felt fingers wrap around his Spark and started gasping in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I was talking about,\u201d hissed the Holo-Droid. \u201cStop ranting about your height or I won\u2019t release your spark until it stops pulsing!\u201d It then released Bumblebee\u2019s spark and let him collapse. The Holo-Droid then commed someone. \u201cRatchet, Bee\u2019s got a problem! I think his crystal mail is affecting the stability of his spark! Get here now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn my way!\u201d called Ratchet. Bumblebee passed out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
