Viktor | Prologue
"It is finally complete," the Machine Herald declared to himself as he put his tools down onto a nearby table. He gazed once again into the mirror that he had used to help upgrade his Hex Core, the vital component to his Glorious body. The faintest smile appeared on his face, underneath his steel helmet.
He had crafted the Perfect Hex Core. No more new versions were required. His body was complete. Years of research, experimenting, and labor had culminated to this point.
Eager to test his power and further spread his propaganda, he stepped out of his pseudo-laboratory and into the depths of Zaun.
Soon, all would realize how obsolete their fleshy bodies were, and join his cause.
...
...
...
...
...?
Viktor was suddenly not in Zaun. He looked around in bewilderment. Was he apprehended? How was he defeated when he had just perfected the Hex Core? His worry soon faded, however. He had inhibited his emotions after all.
He contemplated his situation and examined everyone in silence. Everyone in the room would feel as if they were being judged.
Blitzcrank | Prologue
Blitzcrank could tell something was off as he wandered down a poor shopping district in one of the lower-levels of Zaun. It wasn't usually a place full of activity like the Boundary Markets, so hearing screams of protest was certainly an unusual phenomenon.
His metal footsteps echoed as he put himself into Overdrive, his steam engine letting out a loud wheeze. His internal cogs, gears, and other mechanical parts had accelerated beyond that of a normal Steam Golem.
"Shit! Leave the rest in the register, I think a Steam Golem is coming!" a slender gangster exclaimed, quickly running out of a shop. His two other friends, who had considerably more threatening physiques, followed suit. Of course, that was nothing in comparison to the brute that was Blitzcrank.
The criminals found themselves face-to-face with the sentient robot. How did such a heavy automaton reach their escape route so fast? "GREETINGS CITIZENS. PLEASE ASK FOR PERMISSION BEFORE BORROWING ITEMS," the frighteningly large robot exclaimed as the air suddenly felt thick with static.
A small non-lethal shock was emitted, and the criminals, who had tried to run in the other direction, were now lying on the cold hard floor, their money bags strewn across the ground. They slowly got up and scrambled away, screaming.
The frail shopkeepers poked their heads out of the doorway. They mumbled, "T-thank you..." The Steam Golem responded with "HAVE A GOOD DAY," and went back to looking for more problems to fix.
...
...
...
...
...?
To his surprise, his body had powered off shortly afterward. When he restarted, the next thing he saw was a large, unfamiliar, and clean-looking room. He stood there as if frozen, processing the various noises and things around him.
“Eeyup! I’m Sarge, commander of the Red Team in Blood Gulch Outpost Alpha!” Sarge explained, obviously not minding talking about himself.
“My armor? Well, it’s standard issue Red Team armor! I got it from Red Command, who—“
Sarge paused mid-sentence, the Red Team leader physically freezing in place as he spotted the anthropomorphic fox. His grip on his shotgun tightened as he glared daggers at Krystal from behind his helmet.
“Blue....”
“Damn Blues! They experimented on this poor Fox and turned it into one of them!” Sarge shouted as he aimed his shotgun at the animal, about two seconds from pulling the trigger.

“Woah. The fuck is up with your voice? It sounds like you smoked one too many Marlboros.” Grif said, having been unable to properly sleep with all the commotion going on, most of which was (unsurprisingly) caused by Sarge himself.

Kirby Prologue:
Far-Flung Hero
Kirby was racing through outer space on the back of his trusty Warp Star. The yellow world of Pop Star became a tiny dot in the distance. A great evil lied ahead of the pink puffball. It too was travelling through space towards a mighty fortress. Kirby was giving chase, hopeful to stop the source of chaos that had attacked his home of Dream Land.
However, a sudden darkness covered his vision. Kirby stopped the Warp Star as fast as he could. The darkness cleared and Kirby found himself in a mysterious new place. He hopped off of the Warp Star and it disappeared from sight, unnecessary at the moment.
The pink puff from Pop Star stood no more than a couple feet high. Most of the crates in this room were taller than him, and it was likely that all the other creatures there were as well.
Taking a look around the room, Kirby noticed a familiar face... or at least a familiar suit of Power Armor. He waddled up on his two little feet to the threatening orange figure. He waved his little stubby arms in the air and stood on his tiptoes, hoping to grab the bounty hunter's attention.
"HIIIIIII!"

"A fellow Cybertronian?" Starscream ponders as he looks upon Blitzkrieg. "Are you Autobot or Decepticon? Wait... this feels a bit too different from Cybertronian physiology. It's an invention!"
Before Starscream could continue examining the freshly-rebooted Steam Golem, he was distracted by a certain Megpoid's screams of joy.
"What's the deal with this human?" Starscream pointed to Gumi as he turns to Gakupo. "And what is this cosplay she speaks of?"
Starscream picks Kirby up for a bit, squeezing him like a tennis ball to get a feel.
"Also, this is very far from a constume or disguise. This fleshling is pure, unadultered... flesh! Presumably invertebrate. If it was a disguised Cybertronian, it wouldn't be this squishy. What kind of planet does this pudgy ball of flesh come from, anyways?"

" I'd believe him. It's already too late for me. I should start carrying Tylenol on me."
Rubbing her head, she pulled a pack of cigarettes from tight body suit. Turning to Krystal and the rest of the group
"I'm gonna have smoke and figure out how to get us all out of this mess. If he gives you anymore problems, you're all more than welcome to join me. "

Due to all the commotion, Sarge had neglected to notice Starscream, though his booming voice did eventually manage to catch the soldier’s attention.
“What the hell?! How did Blue Team get a goddamn giant robot!” Sarge exclaimed as he looked over the gigantic bot.
“Giant robot! What is your name?” Sarge asked, purposely speaking in a much louder and slower tone. And for the moment, he seemed too distracted that the boy he had met earlier had retreated for the moment.
“Fuck, count me in. Any excuse to get away from Sarge and sit on my ass is a good one in my book.” Grif said as he quickly followed Sheila away from the commotion.

"Well, someone broke out of a mental asylum," Starscream silently utters, then responds to Sarge, "you know, going by the logic of your fleshy little brain..."
Starscream points to the red spiked and eyes on his head and some parts of his body.
"If you're asking for an introduction, then I shall deliver. I am Starscream, the one and only leader of the Decepticon Armada!" he introduced to Gumi. "From Cybertron."
@Yun Lee @Atomic Knight @Raptor Jesus @York
Starscream had many distractions today.
"Oh, is this Cybertronian?" Starscream looked down at Chibi-Robo. "Small, even for a Minicon... maybe you are one. What is your name, Minicon?"

“JESUS!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?!” Grif shouted at the top of his lungs as his eyes fell upon Kirby, the soldier almost prepared to open fire on the pink marshmallow thing.
Sarge, on the other hand, only chuckled. “Heh heh. Stand down, Private Grif. That thing’s kinda cute.” Sarge said as he knelt down next to the creature. “What’s your name, little fella?”
“Don’t worry about it too much. Sarge would shoot anything blue within a ten mile radius, even if it was his own teammate.”
“Damn right I would! They’re the enemy! Villains! Terristas! Vampires!”

"Hi!" Kirby replied, waving an arm.
Kirby did his best to tell Grif and Sarge his name. In a high pitched voice, with little clarity, he said, "Kābī!"
"WAAAAAH! AHHH AHHH AHHH!"
Kirby began crying out, wriggling his tiny body in an effort to break free.
The moment Kirby broke free from Starscream's grasp, he hurried as fas as he could to dash next to Samus. He tried to get her attention with words that were closer to incoherent babbling while pointing at the menacing robot.
After that, he turned towards Starscream and gave his best, fiercest glare.
