ok so I originally intended to do short stories of all the party members to expand on some personal headcannon lore and characters for this story eventually continuing the treasure titian story
but naturally it's the same old excuses of life getting, getting engrossed in certain media coming out like games, books and movies and just trying to find the time to write at all
so this will be the last thing I write for awhile cause there is this other story I need to finish before July 20 th and maybe end that so I can focus on this we'll see
with this in mind I hope enjoy what I've presented :)

ARTIFICIAL-BLADE-CONSTRUCK DESIGNATION: POPPI (α, QT, QTπ)

Tora: Aannd, complete...rise and shine Poppi!
Poppi awakes to see her driver Tora and her sister examining monitors to make sure the upgrades went through fine
Poppi α: Poppi not feel difference
Lila: That good. Means upgrades are more than compatible with current systems, still why do this Masterpon Tora, while Lila and Poppi appreciate good tune up every once while, these upgrades seem..." much".
Poppi α: Poppi agree with sister Lila, Poppi and Lila already Ultimate Blades what use is there for more power that we don't need.
Tora: T-Tora understands queries...but...
Good questions Tora ponders, but ever since the recent revelation of the two separate worlds Tora was forbidden to speak on the matter with anyone unless they already knew the situation which didn't include his blades (yet), this naturally caused quite a bit of anxiety for Tora who didn't know where to begin much comprehend the literal universal expectation of stopping UNIVERSAL DESTRUCTION. Thankfully they have a lot of time to finish project: Origin (around a few decades) along with his grampypon and dadapon taking the temporary lead but a project on this scale-
Poppi QTπ: MASTERPON!
Tora: m-meh meh?!
Poppi QTπ: *sigh* what are you hiding from us master?
Oh no she dropped the nopon speak that means she's really serious
Tora: w-well Tora not hiding anything Tora just- (meh meh meh they not buying it I need distraction I need...to show them what I've been working on) want to show you last project, but need to upgrade Lila
Both blades looked confused but let their Masterpon do the procedure

ARTIFICIAL-BLADE-CONSTRUCK DESIGNATION: Lila (A Ekam, C Dve , T Triini)
DRIVER(S): TORA, TATAZOO, SOOSOO

Poppi QT: Sister Lila ok?
Lila Dve("original"): Never better, now Masterpon Tora please show us what dirty secret you dare to hide from us
Tora: why Lila have to word it like that!? I have important thing to show
Poppi QT: then lead way
Tora takes the artificial blades through the New Alrest Research and Development Division Building known as "Heart Wood" started by the Nopon guild to do you guessed it Research and development, since a new world means new problems along with similar but untapped resources and ideas to come up with in an ever-evolving environment.
Tora himself has invented many new things to help out his friends and the greater world such as [REDACTED] along with [REDACTED] and even working with [REDACTED] to create [REDACTED], last but not least his magnum opus TIGER TIGER+ the game that helped increase the power of Poppi was really addicting to his friends thus decided to make small electronic devices that have an expanded version of the game and even other games in it all for a small fee .
This unsurprisingly made Tora extraordinarily rich and got many commissions from many people to continue the series of games and technology, something he doesn't want to do since that's not his passion... but he does want to make money...
ANYWAY
While some of his projects are little more... questionable than others (and possibly erotic) it is clear it is his own personal style that lets everyone know who made it (and we can blame his parent and grandparent for it).
Eventually Tora and the blades make their way to his own personal lab full of blueprints and half-finished projects, He leads them to a secret room that was very dark until Tora flipped a switch to reveal...
LOG DATE: AMATHATOBER [PENDING MONTH] 24 th 40XX
ARTIFICIAL-BLADE-CONSTRUCK DESIGNATION: Astra (0 Kreis, 3 Dreieck, 6 Sechseck)
DRIVER(S): ERROR_UNDEFIENED_...
BEGIN-BOOT-UP-SEQUENCE:
!doctype btmlbtml ="" " lang="A"headmeta charset="UTF-8"meta content="VARIABLE_ELEMENT" name="CELESTIAL"meta content="ORIGIN" name=""meta content="/WEAPON/SABER/STAFF/SHIELD-SPEAR_standard_color_yellow" itemprop="ULTIMATE-BLADE"
Tora: TA-DA! introducing Astra my last artificial blade I will make
Astra opens his eyes to see his masterpon and his two older sisters for the first time (although technically he and Tora have spoken while Tora was working on him, but the first time he is functional)
Astra: Good morning Masterpon Tora and Sisters Lila and Poppi, is Astra ready to join family?
Tora: YES! Astra my boy this will be a momentous...
Poppi and Lila are...not happy, actually they're very pissed at Tora for essentially keeping their little brother a secret and only unveiled Astra to get them off his back instead of just telling them what's going on.
Astra: It seems sisters are mad at masterpon Tora thus I must show my potential to ease any doubt
Astra proceeds to show off his powers by encassing all three participants in a bubble called "BUBBLEPON" (it has a face that emotes and everything) and launching out of the secret room into the lab and pressing a button to transform it into a training room
Astra: computer run basic skills presentation
/ACHKNOWLEDGE/
In an instant an obstacle course, targets, and many training robots appear
Astra 0 Kries: first the obstacle course
Astra in his first form resembles that of a small child quiet and softspoken just like Poppi α and Lila A Ekam in this form he and his sisters has greater mobility and as such blazes through the course with tremendous ease using Poppi's saber to perform/showoff some "advance" movements
Astra 3 Dreieck: next Target practice see me get a Bullseye!
Astra in his second form looks like a teenager erratic and a little wild this gives adaptability and many long range attack options usually by the rocket knuckles wielded by both Poppi QT and Lila C Dve, but for Astra he wields a "less powerful" version of Lila's staff and thanks to his Variable Element Core (VEC) Astra can summon various Elemental bullets to hurl at opponents to cause different effects (any similarities to someone are 100% coincidental...somehow)
Astra 6 sechseck: hmph, and finally the main event (doing a pose that he thinks totally makes him look cool) ...combat! (Clenching his fist to summon his unique weapon)
Astra in his third/final form is a young adult cocky and arrogant, but with a good heart and a weapon all his own the shield spear. As the name implies it's two things in one and he can separate the parts to switch between a bulky tank and an evasive tank. The training robots are on their "noponic Extreme" diffficulty and yet Astra dispatches them easily showing his ultimate power putting him on equal footing with Poppi QTπ and Lila T Triini
He gets bored and lets the robots' numbers increase so he can show off some more but just as they were about to attack, they were destroyed instantly not by Astra but by his sisters in their own final forms
Poppi QTπ: seen enough
Lila T Triini: Honestly this is such a mess made by you little brother, but the blame is mainly on our Master
Astra is shocked, Bubblepon is supposed to be, according to his master "super tought to break into or out off" and when he looks to where it was, he sees his deflated friend dispersing into ether leaving a very worried looking Tora
Tora breathes in and out
Tora: Poppi...Lila...Astra you are Tora's blades, and Astra is last artificial blade Tora will make
The trio...are baffled by this unsurprisingly, Last? What does he mean by this. Tora continues
Tora: after Astra is feature complete, Tora will release blueprints to the general public so anyone can make their own blade or even just blade weapons if they don't have "aptitude"
Once again the trio is left gasping...except for Astra who helped Tora streamline the blueprints of artificial blades and blade weapons so they could be as cheap as possible (still requires a bit of money but he'll work that out later). This also means that these new mechanical blades don't have sentience like the trio, the only thing Tora will keep to himself since that will eventually raise many...MANY moral and ethical questions that humanity is just not ready to answer yet
Poppi: But why masterpon? Why now?!
Tora: You three were made by Technology, and technology will keep advancing leaving old technology behind, while Tora made you three to last a good while eventually you will become obsolete, and Tora may be gone someday.
Tora: Thus Tora decided to try an experiment which is to see how long Tora can keep you three not only active, but relevant.
Tora: The experiment's purpose is constantly improving just like what Rex-Rex and friends do with their blades, Recently Tora has felt inadequate as driver which is why I made Astra and training course to have a complete set of blades to train with and as said before improving to become invaluable asset to the whole world to stand next to friends as we go through life with head held high.
Poppi QTπ: Oh Masterpon
Poppi picks up and warmly hugs her master
Poppi QTπ: your already invaluable to me and our friends and family which is why it hurts why you won't tell us what you're hidding
Tora: Tora sorry but Tora promise that when the time comes-
*SLAM*
The door to Tora's lab is swung open fast with a peculiar Nopon girl coming through
?: TORA MESSAGE FOR YOU!
Tora: LANA! Can you not see Tora is in moment right now?
Lana: Lana sorry but message comes from Queen fluffy ears Nia thus it very important
Tora: meh meh? Right now? Say what it says please (visibly nervous)
Lana: okie doodles it says "bring Poppi to the next Meeting and if you want bring the other 2 as well" That it!
Tora is flabbergasted this entire ordeal came about because he was told to not say ANYTHING to ANYONE and yet now...NOW
Lana: TIGER SNAP OUT OF IT! (she says slapping Tora, it doesn't hurt but it's quite a shock) oh and hello Astro kid
Astra 6 sechseck: it's Astra and hey Lana
Both Poppi and Lila look at Astra with shocked confusion and all he can do is look confused himself
Tora: o-ok That make things e-easier, but Before Lana go are we still going to...?
Lana: meh? Oh! Of course, my fluffy tiger but meeting and project more important right now so give it your all and Call Lana later okie?
Tora: okie
Lana: MWAH!
Lana kisses Tora on the cheek and leaves as quickly as she entered; Tora looks back at his blades of whom (except Astra of course) want to know...
HOW!?
Astra: that's for next time bye everybody
