Steven au the answer
Pam was asleep as she slowly woke up to see Nox with his trio optics of red yellow and orange.
"Morning Pam." He smiled
"Is it time?"
Nox nodded. "It just turned midnight. Happy birthday Pam." He smiled
"It's the day you get to tell me you're a fusion!" Pam cheered as Nox chuckles. "You already know that Pam."
"Your right…" she glumed, 'So much of a surprise…' she thought.
"But you don't know how they came to be me." Nox smirk in a sing song tone.
Pam squeal inwardly as Nox held her in his lap. "Let's see… Ah! Dating back 5 thousand years ago….
Before the war, a small rebellion upstarted on earth. The capital world saw although minor, can be a threat to their plans. One of the leaders, Alloy steel, had called forth a rare aristocratic robot, Nos-4-a2, capable to foresee the future, to come to her court along with being protected by three of the XR series.
Among them was a certain XR who took it to his core to protect the aristocratic robot.
"I can't wait to punch those rebels in the faces." XR#2 stated.
"Nu-uh! I'm going to be the one and they'll be nothing but their core." XR#3 stated.
"You two are making a big thing about this. We'll punch them altogether because there is three of us. duh." XR spoke from the back. 'Those two are seriously ridiculous.'
"Well punch this!" XR#2 yelled and punched XR, who happened to back into Nos-4-a2. Every one froze in shock as XR was terribly guilty.
"I'm so sorry about that I didn't-!"
"It is alright. It was bound to happen." Nos-4-a2 spoke with little emotion, his optics covered by the hood of his cape. "Please wait here for me." All three XR's nodded.
All but one did stood straight. He has always kept a close optic on the one he was in charge to protect for the simple fact he is a very rare, and very precious. There can be a hundreds to replace himself but none like Nos-4-a2.
As Nos-4-a2 floated to the small throne and before him Alloy.
"Milady, I have come." Nos spoke.
Alloy called him forward.
"Tell me Nos-4-a2, what do you see in your sight."
"I see the rebellion come and four of the court as well two metaloid disperse to their core along two of the XR, including myself. Soon enough, the rebellion shall fall here." Nos-4-a2 spoke.
"That is all." She spoke with a grin.
Nos bowed to her. "I will see you back in capital world when I reform back." And he left. As he exit out and stood by XR's side, XR could not help but be awe in Nos.
"It is such a unique world, is it not? It is ashamed I will not be able to see it for it will be colonized."
XR flustered lightly. "You can still see it? There is still time before the colonization to commence."
Despite the nice suggestion, Nos could not for he knew he must not turn away what will happen.
"Although it is a nice idea to do so, but no."
Nos-4-a2 looked ahead from XR as the little bot frowned
"Alloy! Your reign of terror is over!"
Throughout the commotion, XR held out his blaster gun and stood by Nos.
Everyone of Alloy's court were in a panic and shouting.
Upon a tower, was four figures revealing a very tall humanoid "We are the Rebellions! We are the meta Stars!" All four rebellions came down and began to fight. XR and the other two began to fuse to fight only to have one that was a Tangean to disperse them to their core. XR fell to the ground as he saw Nos-4-a2 unprotected as the Tangean held her sword ready.
"Thank you for all you have done XR."
That was when XR realized what he meant. He was laying his life down because he saw was already written in stone.
But XR, XR could not allow it.
"NO!" XR let his jet wings out and shot like a bullet passing the Tangean to Nos-4-a2 and pushed him away but something happened.
They fused.
In a blink of light, there stood a new form of one.
The rebels and the court stopped at what they were doing and saw a fusion. The rebellions escaped the court and Alloy's wrath, but not the fusion.
"W-what-!" and suddenly the fusion dispersed into XR and Nos-4-a2. All the court spewed insults and sneers of how disgusting, unheard of a mere robot tainted a pure and pristine aristocrat.
Nos-4-a2 was shocked and hurt to hear the people of the court he resides with, could speak such vulgar words. He looks to XR and saw the fear in his optics. He sees Alloy came out of her mobile throne in anger.
"This was not what you told me!" Alloy yelled.
"This was not what I saw. I-!"
"Please don't be mad at him! It was my fault this happened." XR spoke.
"YOU." Both robots felt the force surrounding them. "How dare you fuse with my Nos-4-a2. You shall be punished for this." She spoke.
Nos-4-a2 could not believe but felt the fear of XR's life.
"Forgive me I-"
"You shall be Melted!"
XR looked down as he accepted his fate. He knew the consequences but to protect Nos-4-a2, he would do it again. He felt a hand on his own but pulled away from the court and off the edge of the floating court. He saw it was the one he was supposed to protect only he had wings and they were so vibrant. As they were close to the ground, Nos let go of XR as he saw Nos floated looking a little tired.
"What are you doing! I need to get you back up there! Where you belong!"
Nos-4-a2 looked disheveled and shocked. "They were going to melt you down! It was not right!"
"Who cares!" XR began to tread back and forth and stopped to look at Nos. "There are tons of me! Take your pick?!" XR shouted.
"You." Nos spoke calmly. "I rather have you not be executed for doing what is right."
XR was shocked. "Aarrrgh! I was made to protect you and give my life for you! And I failed that!"
"But you did protect me and you have gave your life to me… you saved me. Thank you." Nos spoke.
XR was surprised, most have discard what he do for those he protected but never gets appreciated. Shaking the warm feeling away, XR was trying to think of something. "We can't go back now… what do we do?"
Nos-4-a2 had always followed the path of what was set before him. But now that he jumped into the unknown he was lost, he was confused.
He was float less.
XR saw he was having trouble moving and felt drops of water coming from the sky.
"We better get out of this." He tread to Nos and lift him up and began his way to somewhere till he found a cave. He carefully laid Nos down and brought out his blaster gun and gauntlets. He couldn't help but noticed Nos-4-a2 taking off his hooded cape cloak, revealing his red body that was more pristine and his optics…
"Thank you XR. I apologize that I am a burden to you."
XR blushed deeply at how getting a good look at him, he was-
'Gorgeous.' And unintentionally pulled the trigger and shot across the ground and spook them both. XR felt ridiculous but saw the silver/ blue and red clad robot smiled.
"At least we have warmth." He spoke to XR as the smaller of the two gave a sheepish grin. Before he could keep watch, Nos extend his hand to grab his. "Please sit down, I doubt they will come for us under these conditions. Their soldiers are immobile as well they would care less to dirty their hands."
XR tilted his head. "Do you see it?"
Nos-4-a2 shook his head. "They are arrogant and selfish, and I am… I was from that court. I know their views too well." He spoke sadly. XR tread and sat next to him.
"You're not like them. You saved me from being melted down. I know a good handful that are really a pain and selfish. Your really nice and the only one I know." XR spoke.
For a while both were quiet but none could not help but remember the feeling of being fused. XR looked to the robot as he held out his hands to warm up and saw the exposed sapphire like blue core on Nos-4-a2's right clawed hand. He looked down at his own left yellow core in his left hand and for a moment remembered the feeling of being one with Nos-4-a2, being more than just himself.
"I had no idea that was fusion." Nos-4 -a2 spoke.
XR looked up.
"I have seen robots and metaloids fuse, but always the same. I didn't know you become someone else, and disappear."
"No its not like that Nos-4-a2. When I fuse its still me just, bigger. But with you it was different, it was new." XR spoke to Nos. He looked at the fire and blushed. "I never had a third optic." XR spoke.
Nos smiled. "I never had known what it's like to even have legs or I could even develop them to begin with. It was wonderful."
XR smiled and looked to the fire.
"Since we are not bound to class or titles, you may call me Nos, I always prefer to be called that." Nos held out his hand that had his core exposed. XR hesitated but relaxed and smiled "I don't really have a another name but can call me anything." He grabbed the hand and both felt a shock from the touch.
"I'm so sorry I-!" but XR paused and felt a warm hand still holding his own exposed core hand.
"How about I call you little one?" He asked but frowned as he saw XR's hand slightly scratched and close to his core.
"You are wounded. Please let me assist and treat you." Nos spoke as he scoot close to him as one of the tips of his claws shoot a small laser like a lighter.
XR was surprised as he saw how tender and careful Nos was treating him as if he was fragile as glass.
As he finished, XR was surprised that he treated his wounds pretty good. It was as if it was never there.
"Thanks. Your really good at this." And blushed as Nos smiled tiredly.
"Are you ok?" XR asked as he reached out only for Nos to scoot away.
"My apologies, I need to feed on energy or else I will be offline. Unfortunately they made me this way. I can stay outside and catch-"
"Can you drain energy from me?" XR asked as thunder boomed.
Nos was surprised but felt nervous. "Well yes but-"
"Then you can bite me." XR spoke as he sat closer.
Nos was about to scoot back but felt XR hold his hands.
"I am still protecting you and to aid whatever you need and right now you need to feed. Besides I have a rechargeable battery, I can sleep it off." XR saw Nos nervous but gave in.
"Can you lay down?" he ask and XR nodded and scoot a bit and laid down.
XR felt Nos crawl over him as he felt Nos's lips at his neck line and just a sting, he felt Nos pierced through. Nos paused for a moment and little by little he drank XR's energy. XR couldn't help but feel selfish as he felt warmth and how nice it felt. He was enjoying this feeling and it was almost like when they were a fusion, that sensation.
Nos pulled away and sigh in content as he saw the faded blush across XR's cheeks.
"I believe we both have guilty pleasure." He stated.
XR looked away only for Nos to lay beside him. "We both need to rest." And Nos fell into sleep mode.
XR tiredly stare at Nos and wondered as much as he knew Nos was strong, he deserves so much better than this. 'Whatever reasons, I hope he doesn't mind being stuck with me.' XR said finally drifting into sleep.
When XR woke up he was shock to find himself in the arms of Nos. The way he was hold was as if, he was protecting him. He was having trouble getting out for Nos had a good grip… And it didn't help Nos purrs and snuggles closer to him. 'And here I thought I was being selfish…'.
Just as he gave up, Nos let go and turned the other way. XR smiled and decided to get up and see through the entrance. He smiled and saw it was clear but everything was wet and it would be hard to tread.
'We could fly but they might assumed we'd do that. But I can't tread on these conditions.'
Unbeknownst to him, Nos awoken to see XR was having a problem. Getting up, he made his way quietly. Looking over, he saw the ground muddy.
'He may fly, but knowing the court, they would assume. But crossing through the land, little one can get stuck easily.'' He grinned with his mind made up. He picked up XR, holding him against his body.
"You were kind to carry me, it is only fair." He spoke as he floated across. XR felt useless but felt relaxed in his arms. He noticed Nos was able to hover now. Both looked around and gaze at so much organic life around them.
Nos put him down, seeing the ground was dry enough. Unconsciously, XR held his hand as they made their way around the forest. Every where they went in the forest was amazing and even more filled them with such curiosity.
Nos looked up to the blue reddish sky and smiled. XR was gazing at Nos and was happy he could see Nos open up rather than that solemn blank look.
'It's also nice to see his optics.' XR thought but wondered more about where they stand. 'Where do we go from here? What are we now?' XR thought.
Nos spread out his electrical wings and looked down to XR.
"Fly with me?" he asked.
XR looked nervously and Nos held his right hand, "Please? We will be alright."
XR smiled and let his jet wings out. Both flew up and gazed across the land. It was a wonderful sight but alas both were thinking of each other.
Nos took small glances of the little one and felt his core warm and his randometer skip a few.
'I cannot help but feel we made something entirely new.' He was having these new found feelings for his ex-guard and the trust XR gave…
Both thought 'Where to go, what do we do now…?'
After flying both lay on soft grass, looking up at the night sky. XR still had his thoughts about earlier. He was nervous on what to say. "I've been thinking about the fusion." He blurted out mentally scolding himself.
"So have I." Nos spoke as XR looked to him.
Nos paused, feeling embarrassed. "Am I…you said I was different? You never had that same experience-"
"Never!" XR looked the other way blushing. "Have you ever fused with anyone before?"
"No, you are my first." Nos spoke with a smile.
XR smiled but frowned. "I'm sorry, because of me, your in exiled, banished, forever! You probably could have fused with anyone-" XR paused when he saw Nos sat up.
"I do not care, I rather be exiled with you than to be exiled alone." Nos stated, "And to be honest, I would rather have you who cared for my well-being than anyone else who would not care and rather use me."
XR kept his sight away. "You deserve better." But paused when he felt a hand caressed his head.
"but you are better and I would rather have you. I wish to be with you." Nos let go, only to lift XR up and lead him to a plain area. He held XR's right hand and put XR's left hand on his shoulder. He put his hand on XR's waist line. As he hummed, he began to dance with XR as he too followed with Nos. XR felt that sensation coming but before followed with enjoying the connection growing. Before they fused, XR took whatever in him, leaned forward and kissed Nos. Nos kissed back and in a blinding light,
They were a fusion.
I was me again and stood that way. Just as before, I was new to everything but at the time I was believing I was getting the hang of it.
And in five minutes, I fell.
"Woah! Ooof!" I tumbled down a hill till I came to a stop. When I was getting my bearings, I realized I was surrounded by a fields of different flowers. As I rubbed my head, I saw three lasers lights aimed at him.
"Don't hurt him!" I yelled out but then I realized "Don't.. hurt me?" I asked.
I saw the meta Tangean along with a giant red meta and a purple meta glares only to be shocked to see me.
"Its you. The fusion." The Tangean spoke.
I was shocked and that fear developed again. "Please we- I understand if we are making you uncomfortable-"
"Please don't."
I looked up to see a titanium meta before me but he was more calm. There was feeling of being safe.
"You are not uncomfortable or disgusted?" I asked.
The tall silver red meta kneeled and grins "Tch, who cares about my opinion or how I feel. What your experiencing must be much interesting." He spoke as he assured me.
I looked upon my hands and wondered and questioned.
"I feel… confused and happy and excited. That, I rather be this way than separated. It feels weird, I feel weird."
"Welcome to earth." Titan smiled.
"Can you tell me why did XR save Nos? Why or how did they alter what was for seen. Why did what they did- What exactly am I?!"
"Hey don't question what you are." Titan stated as he held both hands. "Don't question this, yourself. You already have the answer."
'I do?' I thought and grinned. 'I do have the answer.'
"So what was the answer?" Pam asked sleepily and eyes wide.
Nox smile, "Love."
Pam smiled too. "I knew it."
Nox grinned. "So did I."
