Heyo. I'm getting better at writing and creativity. Aight, no. Taylor's not gonna second trigger, but she's going to wish she had.

... Also, FNAF references ftw.

Also, someone said he seemed apathetic and yes, he seems that way because he is. He has Mental Disorder - ASD aka Autism Spectrum Disorder, which does mean high functioning aspergers.

(Taylor)

I awoke with a start, immediately trying to push myself up, but I felt way too much resistance.

I immediately delved into what I remembered before this.

I was fighting Lung. Surprisingly, it was going well... And then Armsmaster showed up. Two people also showed up, one's mask resembling that of Oni Lee given what I could feel of it. I immediately had them both being attacked by my bugs, non poisonous just inca-

Armsmaster was shot from the other guy and I felt my bugs duplicate.

It was most certainly Oni Lee. Oh fuck, god damn it. Why did I have to come out tonight?! Just as that thought entered my mind, I felt Oni Lee appear behind me with new bugs and immediately I turned around, seeing a knife come at me.

It scraped off before Oni Lee decided a grenade on the belt would do better. That was all before I knew no more.

As my eyes took in everything around me, I knew my mask was still on. But I was stuck... somehow. No insects in my radius at all... How? And.. my radius was definitely shorter.. By half.

My eyes examined my captors. Or, rather, captor. A man was looking at me. He had no mask but cut an imposing figure. A red mantle or coat, black body armor. His hair was spiked and he was obviously asian.

I started to hyperventilate. They were going to kill me. Dad was... No. No.

That's when he spoke in a deep baritone, emotionless.

"Taking out a dragon on your first night. Impressive showing. Unfortunately, said dragon is my boss and he is currently incapacitated for what is most definitely a few days."

And then he took out a small red-colored object with a few hues and a greenish glass in the middle. Oh shit, he was a fucking tinker.

He shot at me and I felt tears as I braced for impact. Immediately, my armor cracked and I felt green to my stomach. He turned the dial up on the thing.

"Now... Speak or die."

I struggled against my bonds, seeking to escape. He shrugged and aimed the obvious ray gun at me before an irate woman with a gas mask came in.

"HEY IDIOT!" She verbally assaulted him.

He looked back, tilting his head.

"LUNG IS GOING TO WANT TO FRY HER ALIVE! TORTURE HER! DON'T MAKE IT A SIMPLE SHOT YOU FUCKING MORON!"

I whimpered.

She turned to me, "AND YOU! YOU STAND IN MY GENIUS, UNWORTHY FUCKING COMMONER! YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER THOUGHT TO CHALLENGE LUNG AND BEAT HIM?! DON'T MAKE ME FUCKING LAUGH! YOU'RE A FILTH-"

Before she could continue her tirade, her mask came off for a single half second and a sandwich shoved itself into her mouth. A, obviously, peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And she was yelling and shouting as she was eating, muffled it before she started to actually eat the sandwich, glaring at the tinker with hate.

When she finished, she whirled on him and ranted about how she's a better tinker and shouldn't mock or disrespect his superiors.

He, calmly, pulled another sandwich out of a bag... held by Oni Lee. Wh-when did he get here?
Oni Lee was glaring at me, I knew.

And as I was mentally assessing this, I heard the woman's tirade cut short again by a jelly sandwich.

I decided to make myself as small as possible before any of them could remember I was here. Maybe I'd get some reprieve... I was feeling... claustrophobic...

And then an arrow embedded itself right next to my head and I screamed, looking straight at the unknown tinkers, seeing the man with a bow out.

He obviously knew I was terrified.

"I am Kyudoka and this lovely woman right next to me is Bakuda. Oni Lee and you have met at work, must have been lovely."

He said it with such a monotone, even with the obvious sarcasm, that I was impressed before realizing he was definitely a villain.

Kyudoka stalked over, pulling out a sword from a hidden sheathe and thrust it next to my head. I stared fearfully into his eyes as apathetic they were.

"You are going to get acquainted with everyone here for now on. You can think of yourself as a... Prisoner of War or a convict. Either way, you are on the chopping block. You see, I have much to test, you'll provide the perfect testing subject. After all.. You won't die, but you'll wish you had."

Then I felt something impale through my suit, through my neck. A knife. I felt... tired... I didn't want to die...

(Coil)

I was running damage control during that entire event. The Undersiders were too important to lose currently and they just nearly got themselves killed if I didn't prepare for Him.

Kyudoka, he said his name was to Armsmaster. A Master of Kyudo... And he was a damn good one. If I didn't have snipers positioned, the Undersiders would have died.

Disposable assets they may be, I cannot afford to lose them yet.

I turned my attention to the PRT's listings about him.

It was clear that wards were not to interact with him. He was listed as a tinker 4, mover 3, and stranger/changer 1. His face may be exposed, but he had no profile, thus being a stranger or changer. Maybe a human case 53, even. He was part of the ABB, that much was for certain.

But for how long? It didn't matter, my information about Bakuda was no longer reliable. Plans would have to change accordingly.

(Armsmaster)

It was a failure. Some unnamed independent bug controller fought Lung and it was only thanks that I was closer to the scene due to me seeing a man that was considered to be a cape by the masses running with Lee to some place then I saw an explosion of fire and a deep voice commanding a bug girl to come out. It was between Lee and an unnamed parahuman with unknown powers or Lung.

I chose Lung and got there just as Lung was going to go searching, only to be knocked back by an incredibly dense projectile, but I got my special tranquilizer dart into Lung. Everything was going somewhat good.

And then everything went wrong. Sure, Lung fell, but Kyudoka, the new cape, dismantled me and left with Oni Lee and the unnamed bug parahuman, most likely female.

Kyudoka was better than me, faster, and more effective. He was obviously a tinker, but I didn't know his specialization. He cut me to smithereens and chopped my halberd in half, even took a chunk of my armor with his odd ray gun I've seen on a game that the Wards played yesterday.

As I arrived back to the Protectorate, I immediately called for a meeting announcing two new parahumans and went over what I should say. I will tell them to assume one was dead, that being the bug parahuman.

But of course, just in case, to give ratings and show actual threat levels.

Kyudoka, of course, was to not be engaged. He was going for the kill until he could leave and would dismantle any of the Wards. Not only that, but my suit determined how strong his ray gun was. It would easily kill a normal man.

I heard noises as the wards & several capes came in.

Two loud ones were noticeably Assault and Clockblocker.

Before they looked up, seeing me impatiently staring and the obvious damage to my suit.

"Let me make this clear. Two parahumans, one of ABB affiliation and the other an independent, have come across the scene. This is particularly noteworthy because Lung has been confirmed to now have a tinker, specifically not the Cornwell Bomber."

They took this information in with Clockblocker yelling, "Great!"

I ignored him and moved on. "Kyudoka, Lung's new tinker, is to not be engaged by ANY of you wards. He will not hesitate to try to kill any of you or us. He is incredibly skilled and has an amount of equipment that is dangerous. It'd be better to show you."

I motioned to the laptop and called out Dragon's name. She answered quickly with a, "Yes?"

"I would like you to sync the footage of my camera back at 12:34."

She nodded and the laptop showed my perspective as I dashed towards lung, halberd raised, the tranquilizer being shot out, but me being shot back. The projectile only existed for a single frame before it hit me. And then the fight between Kyudoka and I.

It angered me to be so easily put down by a new tinker, but I didn't let it consume me.

I took notes of the encounter and what to build against this new tinker.

"Miss Militia, take charge. I am going to go fix my armor and make new weapons."

She nodded.

Dragon and I would have to spend the rest of the day fixing my armor.

(Kyudoka)

I watched the young.. cape? Was that the proper word? Obviously teenage age independent as she fell unconscious. I dragged the knife out as her skin and armor sealed. My knife was coated with a wavelength that'd mess with the nervous system in just the right way to make someone instantly fall unconscious. It had more esoteric effects due to me making Lee, well, create most of it. He was given the Tinker Sword power due to a mild curiosity and... honestly, it confused me. Suddenly, he was more talkative, not a whole lot more, but it was definitely noticeable.

Speaking of which, Lee had his mask off and was eating pizza. It was like he completely forgot about how to eat it and was relearning. Curious. He looked over at me and pointed to the other side of the room. A katana was on the wall, made specifically by Lee. I don't think I'm going to change Lee's power again.

Megan was on the other side of the room, meddling with a bag in frustration. She threw it up in the air, angry, and dashed over to me in surprise quickness.

She decked me across the face, or attempted to, while grounding out, "Different power. Now."

I shrugged, granting her a Thinker power that made her exceptionally good at anything she is wielding. Obviously she had trouble using the bag in her outfit. I would have trouble as well if I couldn't throw my grenades normally when I could think of other powers to have.

I went to my table, grabbing my fabricator. Lung was out of commission and as much as Bakuda's ego couldn't stand me being leader, I was the defacto leader. Though, honestly, it's too much of a hassle. I looked over back to the teenage independent.

I heard Bakuda switch channels over at the TV she was watching and then turn up the volume. It was a news broadcast talking about how the ABB had a new tinker. Apparently I was now a known criminal. I shrugged, walking over to the teenage cape. She was obviously terrified of me. I was confused, though. Why'd she fight Lung? The boss was well known around these parts and extremely terrifying according to most of the ABB. So either she was confident, suicidal, or had an insane hero complex.
I decided to look into it more.

For some reason, when I tried to kill her before she could awake, there was this burst of static in my mind. No matter, I could still use her without murder. I looked over to where Lung rested, on a chair I created to increase his regeneration ability. It wasn't working too well, but it was much better than Bakuda's esoteric healing grenades.

I looked over to the teenaged cape, walking over with a small knife made by Lee. I took it to the back of her school and stabbed. The knife then melted into the body.

There, now she was as tough as steel and wouldn't be in risk of dying to any experiments...

Or maybe she could be part of the ABB? Regardless.

I went to the TV as it was talking about some head of hiring whose daughter was missing. Boring. Bakuda yelled at me angrily as I passed the TV, blocking her view for a few moments. I didn't care.

I arrived at my power cell bench and called Lee. He and I were going to be building a few... choice swords. I overclocked his power to 250% and we went to work.
