Wow, my first Brave saga fanfiction and the sad thing is, I've the Braves for some time and I haven't writen SQUAT!

Okay, this is after Deckerd is done and gone and Duke has just come to the light. Can anyone else see how mad Power Joe is at Duke! I imagined the whole time that Power Joe was going to ambush Duke in the hall and... do something. So, this came to my mind. Everyone knows that Gunmax isn't the nicest person on base and he's kind of demanding but now, he's going to learn a thing or two about abuse.

Sorry Power Joe fans, it'll get better (I think)... QwQ

Brave saga © Takara (Hasbro's Japanese counterpart!)

Gunmax mentally sighed as the normal activities of the Comand room played out like any Sunday. Power Joe and Dumpson arm wrestled and McCrane polished his rifle as he growled every time Power Joe got his arm slammed down harder each time he lost, which was a lot. Drillboy sat on his small desk and bounced a soccer ball with either his hands or with his foot on the floor and he would eventually try basketball finger-spinning his soccer ball on his pede and just watched it spin. He saw Yuuta with his head down on his desk that over looked the room on the humans balcony.

Poor mini boss. Not a a day or two ago did they loss Deckerd to the Chieftain twins. Those two fuel snatching fakers decided to drag themselves out of whatever hole they thrived from and go on a killing spree for J-Decker. They had attacked Shadowmaru and almost killed him if it hadn't been for Seia (thank the Super A.I. gods because she leads to Navy...), Shadowmaru would have drowned in the ocean and drained of all his special oil in the salty water, slowly sinking to the abyss of the reef. And they had the nerve to kick Gunmax's aft too! It was frustrating! He barely got to the fight and even then, his bike was so bad, he thought about just running there if it hadn't been for the fact he couldn't move much.

And then their was Deckerd's murder...!

No. Gunmax didn't go there. He wasn't going to bring it up, he was to fond of Deckerd to get mad at his death. Gunmax had a respect for the blue cop car ever since Deckerd had hand cuff themselves together... Long story, involving Gunmax being framed for a previous partners crimes, Gunmax's mood swings and constant disappearing (he was just driving laps around the city), and Deckerd being one of the only ones to truly believe in Gunmax's innocence (everyone was spectacle, okay?) and Deckerd smacked cuffs on him. When they were in that forest... they became... friends? Brothers by oil barrel? It was fun tricking that hillbilly old man that they were "confiscating" his oil for tampering in supplies at "the factory!" Good times...

And now, they give Gunmax the worst felling in his... everything. From his pede, through his body, in his tanks, in his neck cables, and to his Super A.I..

Gunmax still couldn't believe moral was so low... in the board room, it actually looked like a normal Sunday night. Dumpson and Power Joe actually being entertaining (to themselves mostly), McCrane polishing that old rifle of his, Yuuta sulking because he had school tomorrow, Shadowmaru off doing whatever-it-is he does, and Deckerd on last night patrol. But it couldn't be more difficult. He knew Dumpson and Power Joe were venting under hushed breaths as they wrestled, McCrane was polishing a deadly weapon (focusing on no one but a deadly weapon), Yuuta was mourning for Deckerds death, Drillboy wasn't enjoying anything his mostly prized soccer ball could give (he had his special one sighed by every person and/or robot he trusted on base), Shadowmaru was still in a dead sleep while the engineers fixed him up, and Deckerd was under the control of that stupid eye rock alien that had a metal fetish!

Another long story...

Gunmax stopped staring at everyone when McCrane glared at him and he stopped polishing that metal and wooden stick to reload the rounds within the barrel. Good, why not go to the shooting range next?

Just as he was about to get up and leave, the newcomer and self-proclaimed "leader" of the Brave Police, Duke "Knight" came walking in with all his glory. If your wondering how the Brave Police got an ambulance on their team (an ambulance knight, no less) then listen close. Not barely thirty seconds after Deckerd died, a pristine and curvy ambulance pulled up and a blonde lady with a black body suit and a tiny red shirt over the suit got out of it and helped them chase off the Chiefains. The ambulance was very attractive he must say but the moment he was sitting in Deckerd's seat and telling them it was a simple "leaders" seat was very alluring. He kinda liked this mechas moxy.

When he walked in, the room went cold and silent. He went straight for the fire truck in the back of the room (had they forgotten that big red room pile on?) but he had to walk past a glaring Simpson, a growling Power Joe, a practically-oblivious McCrane, and a saddened Yuuta (did he mention Yuuta hates Duke, in a lot of ways but not completely). Gunmax didn't include himself, he was telling this story right?

Duke made his way back to his combining buddy and checked something on the side of the fire truck. Duke just stared at it for a minute before he started to walk to Deckerd's seat (A.K.A. the "leaders" seat). As he made his way over, Gunmax heard Power Joe growl and he almost acted on the instinct of throwing his pistol for the fun of it. It had a homing device in it, it always comes back. But when Duke didn't take a seat, he just stared at the desks contents and searched the reports that piled up a little, he was curious.

"Why don't you sit down, throw your feet on the desk?" Gunmax asked as he leaned back in his chair for emphasis.

"That does not sound pleasing. Putting dirty limbs that are bound to be covered in mud or caking dirt on these desks, that the humans spent so long to sanitize when we leave, does not appeal to me." Duke said but didn't look at Gunmax til the next sentence, "And it's very rude. Lady has taught me better."

... Now even relaxing felt like a crime.

He felt the urge to throw his pistol again when he heard Power Joe growl and actually started to hold his arm against Dumpson's before it slammed down again. He was getting angry, Gunmax could tell now because the green optics that belonged to the power shovel were dark green but glowing with emotions. Gunmax chuckled mentally, that was a little show Power Joe's A.I. hasn't blown out yet.

"You'd all fit to join me." Duke said as he toke a random report out of the middle stack and looked over it fully.

Power Joe ripped his arm from Dumpson's grip and stood up in a rage and stomped his pede, "Really?! What would you be doing that we so need."

"Well, I think some of you can join me." Duke said and held the report more firmly, "Others, I recommend asking Mr. Toudou or Lady to teach you anger management or at least some respect."

Power Joe howled and launched at Duke, only to be stopped by Dumpson arm locking him and Drillboy (abandoning his ball) holding his chest just incase he wiggled away from Dumpson. McCrane forgot about his rifle entirely and stood up in between the restrained Power Joe with his brothers and Duke. Yuuta stood up quickly but didn't move in any other way, as did Gunmax.

"You piece of scrap metal!" Power Joe yelled to Duke as he returned to reading the report and apparently the newspaper that went along with it, "How could you just stand there and act like you didn't do anything?!"

"Because I didn't," Duke said and gathered his papers, "I merely suggested what you truly do need. I didn't want you to actually prove that you need it."

Power Joe cried out again and fought against two out of three of his brothers even more as Duke began to leave with what he came for. Gunmax met Duke's face when he left (not really met because Duke didn't look in his direction), and he saw just before his visored optics couldn't see Duke's own optics, that Duke's plain and emotionless orange optics turned a sad and distressed yellow. Gunmax would have pointed it out if (oh, he knew this was making it worse) Power Joe screaming revolting things after the ambulance.

"You giant wast of metal! Running back to your tiny, creepy corner in the base where trash ends up!" Power Joe just kept going and going, "Running back to the your little British master so she can find a new flaw in your head and make you more of a bastard! You-!"

"POWER JOE!" Yuuta cried and when everyone turned their helms, they saw everyone standing there.

The General was frowning deeply while Toudou was whispering to him, both looking grim. Yuuta and his sisters, Kurumi and Azuki, were standing there, Yuuta crying fully and hearty tears as Azuki looked extremely pale. Seia and Ayako stood there with pure surprise and horror on their faces as the door behind them slammed and a young blonde girl stepped out. Regina glared out amongst the crowd but didn't say anything at first, Gunmax knew she must have been mad at them for distressing Duke and putting "human" inside his "perfect" A.I. Regina had made...

"I could thank you." Regina said and caused most of the room to go astonished, "But I won't."

With that note, she turned and left instantly with a huff.

Gunmax... could not believe it. Regina, the head engineer that graduated at the age of 10 from an engineering college, made Duke out of spare parts (literally) and a half made blueprint (okay, that was a bit of an exaggeration)... had just thanked them for letting Power Joe verbally abuse Duke.

After a minute of stunned silence, Ayako hit the desk with her fist and glared, "Baka! How dare you say such things to Duke! And how dare all of you-!" she pointed at everyone else "-bare to let Power Joe continue!"

"It's not our job to control to control Power Joe!" Dumpson said and shoved the power shovel away now that he wasn't struggling, "And Duke was taunting him!"

"Even if so, you do not retort back!" Seia stepped in, "I am a military commander and I have seen things like this in my ranks! Someone says something and the person getting spoken to gets angry and attacks the person! The beginning aggressor never gets as much punishment as the soldier who attacks him, even if he starts! And I'm sure if you had maimed Duke liked you wish, he'd just come back because of Toudou and Regina's engineering, and you'd be the one getting your A.I. refreshed!"

Gunmax didn't stay anymore after that. He was going to consult Duke, but better he left, he left on a sour note...

"I could have cared less if I ripped the Super A.I. from his processor and he slowly died under my fist-!"

Oh my Primus, I'm so sorry! QwQ
