The plot bunnies are breeding and wandering the halls of Mordhaus. Just a cute fluff piece that amused me.
As always, I don't own Metalocalypse or any canon characters. I do own #476, and can lay temporary claim to #258437.
It was #476's turn to walk the hallways in her assigned sector of Mordhaus. The halls were quiet, a fact that wasn't lost on her as the sound of her booted footsteps echoed off the walls. The normal Gear traffic had died off hours ago. Truthfully, she liked this duty. It gave her time to think. She was on one such mental jaunt, the subject being ways to disable the scream-activated lighting without having to spend hours elbow-deep in wiring, when her boot brushed against something soft. She stopped dead in her tracks, then looked down. "A bunny." Reaching down, she scooped it up. "Whatcha doin' here, little fella?" She murmured to it as she cradled it in her arms. "You really shouldn't be out." Though #476 wouldn't admit to it, she had a weakness for animals, and often helped to tend Master Toki's rather large amount of pets. Escapees weren't uncommon, though one so far away from where the cages were kept was. Idly petting the bunny now curled up at her left elbow, she continued her walk. She would return this little one once her shift was over. It was minutes later that she once again stopped, only this time her eyes widened underneath her hood.
"Crap." This was directed towards the hallway in front in her. "It's happening again." Fuzzballs similar to the one in her arms dotted the wide expanse in front of her. Immediately, the arm not cradling the bunny she held flicked up, and she dialed the comm she always wore to patch into that sector's intercom. As she spoke, her voice boomed over the speakers. "ALL AVAILABLE GEARS IN SECTOR E PROCEED TO HALLWAY 4! I REPEAT, ALL AVAILABLE GEARS IN SECTOR E PROCEED TO HALLWAY 4! MASTER TOKI'S BUNNIES HAVE ESCAPED AGAIN!" She tuned out, shaking her head. "I hate breeding season." She muttered to herself as she did, her hand having returned to petting the now-sleeping bunny that nuzzled against her chest. When the Gears arrived, she gave them quick directions to capture them all alive. Master Toki did not like his pets harmed, and neither did she. As she oversaw the efforts to recapture the escapees, another thought occurred to her. A bunny army. She chuckled, waving off #258437's attempt to take her new fuzzy friend as she did so. The Revengencers will run in fear when the terror bunnies take the field! Her chuckle turned into a full-blown laugh, one which earned her more than a few looks from other Gears, who were no doubt wondering if #476 had finally lost it.
As quickly as they had come, the Gears left, each carrying several bunnies to return to the pens. This left #476 and the last escapee. "Come on, little one, let's get you back too." She set off in the direction of the pens herself, scratching the bunny behind the ears. "A bunny army indeed. You're too cute for that."
