Awakening Nightmare [Goro + Yusaku]

"So...I'm a promising ally uh?" He heard a familiar voice ask in a "look at that" tone as a rather tall mechanical being walked inside the room. "You should have guessed I had access to the cameras around here, elevator camera included. Tho I guess in your condition I can excuse you revealing our relationship to someone."

Yusaku closed the door behind them and stared at Goro. Dear god he was beyond fucked. Just what kind of stuff he had got himself into? He wasn't clearly in the best condition. It took the robot twenty minutes to show up after Goro had entered the room.

"And in what exactly would I be recruited in?" He added, moving one of his claws up to straight up cut Goro's tattered shirt to expose the guy's back. The robot's eyes surveyed all the blood and the somewhat messy bandaging he had done. At least he still had the health kit there. "Remember rule number one. I want the truth. If you don't tell me the truth and I find out it just won't do. I wouldn't want to hack into your tablet.

Now. How about you tell me what happened to you? You're hardly in condition to stand, let alone fight...and you are certainly not wearing me with a bloody back. It would leave a trace and it would get us busted. You'll have to take a shower after I fix all this bandaging."

Yusaku was trying to keep himself on neutral ground, but Goro could see that the robot really did care for his wellbeing. Yusaku's chassis seemed different looking once he had settled down beside him and had begun carefully inspecting Goro's wings. The whole bat look had been further accentuated. More over, it looked less like a costume and actual battle armor. A long thick tail would prevent it from getting broken, while a fishook blade at the end of it would actually be extremely lethal if it struck with precision. Yusaku was taller, standing on two digit per foot. If Goro were to actually wear him that night, he'd be forced in a digitigrade stance. It could feel uncomfortable at first, but the added presence and the various improvements in the speed and power department were a good tradeoff for it. Clawed hands were still present, with three finger each. Finally, huge bat like ears poked out of Yusaku's head, flicking about. The whole form presented itself in anodized black and purple color with hints of white here and there. It looked like Yusaku had tried to match his own coloring to Goro's wings.

"Don't worry for the shirt, I'll get you a new one. You wouldn't be using it anyway. You don't really need clothes inside me, except a minimum of decency, so just a pair of boxers will do. Although I wouldn't mind getting you one of those full body suit specifically for me if we'll keep going out again."

Yusaku took a cotton puff and quenced it in germicide as he started to very lightly scrape the dried out blood from Goro's back. "And you should eat something too. My UI estimates you might have lost a good bit of blood. Not enough to need a transfusion thankfully. Thank the fact My software has some police first aid stuff in it. I'm no doctor and I might be just a tool for you to lash out, but I can suggest you find a way to armor up your wings. The membrane is extremely sensible. Any more damage and you might even not fly again. Upside: You get cool bad boy scars to show off I guess."

Yusaku seriously did his best to make sure Goro's back was clean of the blood before moving over to the wings and very gently check the bandages to see if something else would be needed. Goro wouldn't have mucch of a choice but let the mechabat finish his checkup. Well, technically he could try and refuse Yusaku's care, which could very well be the only care he got that night.

"Alright...You're fine for now. Do you need help to get to the shower? A quick wash with warm water will throw away some tiredness and just help you feel better. Oh, by the way. You didn't need to pay for the room. Didn't you see any noir movies? When people tell you to book a hotel room, it means that's a signal to meet up." He said almost childishly, to try and liven up the mood. "You can book this room anytime. When you give the key back you can take your money back too. This BnB is property of my cousin in law and he gave me this room when I'm off Yuuei and want to spend holidays in Shibuya. If anyone asks you just say you're my friend and you'll have no problems."

Yusaku hummed in thought. Then, he gently lifted Goro's body up in his claws and carefully moved towards the bathroom. He was carrying the bat guy's weight effortlessly, still making sure he was being ok and that his claws weren't scratching him.

"Eh...so you're knee deep in this bad stuff uh? Opting out of this stuff doesn't seem an option for you, I just hope you aren't a member of the Mafia or something. To be honest you're not THAT bad of a person. Otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to do this with me." The robot told the bat, before settling him down in front of the shower.

"You might have had a really rough day today, I had it too. But now's our time to get back at people." Yusaku would have grinned. He patted his chest, teasing Goro. "Since you're here I guess there's some anger you wanna let out and you still want to wear me, so we'll do it. Plus once we're together you won't have to worry about your body taking any more damage. If we are lucky I got a hunch on a group of quirkless bigots that I would really love to visit."

Yusaku chuckled and exited the bathroom, closing the door behind him to leave Goro some privacy while he showered. "And if you follow my rules I'll make it worth it for ya. Anyway, I'll get you something to eat in the meantime. Take as much time as you need. We are in no rush."

With that done Yusaku quicly went for the phone inside the room and asked for the classic late night snack. Then, he would look around to see if Goro had left his tablet somewhere. He would just need two minutes to install a small miniscule backdoor just in case. If what Goro said was true, he needed a way to know when the guy was going to be in danger. He could swoop in and help him out faster and more efficiently than just get some bandages done. He wouldn't want his possible new friend to get killed.

His whole body was trembling with anticipation. He couldn't wait and see the result of their partnership. Goro was going to be the guy that finally forced him out of his own insecure shell. He was the guy that would allow yu to finally get revenge. He wouldn't stutter. He wouldn't look like an idiot anymore. And the bad guys were going to reap what they sow.

Yusaku looked up from his position in front of a mirror to see a cleaned up Goro in way better shape too. "Oh, good. Seems like you've got some of your groove back. I got you some food as you can see. It's better to grab a bite before heading out. Try not to stuff yourself full though. I wouldn't want you to feel nauseated while we're outside."

The robot was messing with his back plating. He was obviously trying to find a way to tailor himself to Goro's wings. There simply wasn't going to be enough space for them to be kept inside his armor, so they would have to poke out their back, even though they had injuries. He could probably brace them a little at the base though. Once he was satisfied with his efforts, Yusaku turned over to Goro. "I'll have something for you no problem read when we had back here. As per who we'll be vising I'll tell you once we're outside."

THe robot quieted down for a moment, thinking about his own things. "Alright. Anyway, I kept you waiting long enough." He tapped his chest twice and his body slowly opened up, exposing his soft foam padding at Goro.

"Slide your legs inside my own one at the time and wait a few seconds. I need to adjust to your shape. If you sink a little it's normal, our waists need to be aligned. Then, for the hand claws, slide your arms inside and wiggle your thumbs into mine, then two fingers per each claw. Like wearing a glove. Once that is done, I'll close up on your chest, then neck then stuff your head into my helmet. You'll have to give me some time to shift to fit you, so you'll be in the dark while I power up my visor for you to see through my eyes. Side note, you'll be forced into a digitigrade stance, so it will feel weird at first equilibrium wise. I'll give ya ha hand for that."

Yusaku stood completely still, waiting for Goro to wiggle himself inside his body. "Once in, there is no going back. For both of us." He stated, mostly to reassure himself a little. "I'll be part of you, you'll be part of me. And for as long as this happens to last, I expect you to follow my rules. One misstep and I'm kicking you out:

Rule 1: This whole thing is secret, so if you really wanna have people remember us as something, come up with an alias of sort. Bat, Wyvern, Nightmare, I don't care. Our names must be hidden.

Rule 2: Absolutely no killing or life threatening wounds. We can snap legs, we can break noses but nothing beyond what a vigilante would do.

Rule 3: Innocents cannot be attacked. I call the shots.

Rule 4: I am in control of the situation at all times, this means our shared body as well. I can let you deal with stuff your way if you don't break these rules. The more we agree the more control I'll allow you over my powers and abilities.

If you agree with the above rules, come over here and wear me."

As expected, Goro wasn't used to the form Yusaku had chose for them, he'd get used to it soon enough. He would have to, cause the robot was dead set on visiting his quirkless friends. Still, that didn't mean Yusaku couldn't at least help the situation a little. Perhaps he was a little too tight, still a few seconds were all he needed to adjust his shape to Goro's body. He would still remain tight as usual, but not as much as before.

One after the other, the plates around Goro's waist closed up around him, then the chest plates pressed against the bat-guy's lithe build. Finally, Goro's neck was enclosed in Yusaku's protective layers. He didn't equip him with the helmet yet though, the robot would leave Goro to experiment with him. The guy was a fair bit taller than his usual, not counting all the other differences.

"All done. You know, your body is not half bad. Take it as a compliment." Yusaku's voice echoed from somewhere behind Goro, obviously a speaker. "As you can see, you're a bit taller and definitely stronger. Still, we weight alot, so we won't be as fast as you might be without me. As for the wings..."

Goro felt his own body move on its own, turning to the side, he showed their back plates. Two bulges were present as the robot's plates had given up space for the wings to rest inside. "I can keep your wings protected...kind of...as long as you keep them closed. If you feel the need to open them and move them around you can simply push a little on my back plating and I'll open it up for you. Although considering the conditions they're in I'd advise you to keep em shut."

another round of shifting and Yusaku was now a perfect match. He walked Goro to the window, making slow deliberate movements to make sure the Pilot inside him got used to both walking on a set of claws and a foreign presence guiding his movements. "I hope you're comfortable. Enjoy the ride!" Yusaku exclaimed as he jumped out of the window...of a six story building. In the meantime they were falling, the robot completed their form by wrapping around Goro's head and make all the necessary adjustments.

The hybrid smacked into the ground like it was nothing, caving it in due to the sheer weight. Goro's legs could take such falls no problem now that he basically had military grade armor on his person. The bat's vision turned night-vision green as he saw the world through Yusaku's face display. The AR hud was also a nice touch. It displayed the time, Yusaku's charge and bright yellow arrows on the floor to point him towards their target.

To top it all off, Goro was once again in full control of his motion about at the same time a tingly sensation wafted on him. Yusaku snickered, he didn't tell him about that little detail. He wanted to give him a little surprise for going through with his whims. He guess using his haptic receptors to allow Goro to feel the ground beneath their claws, feel the spiked tail swish behind them, as well as the long bat ears Yusaku had on their head would be well recieved. What armor could allow the pilot to feel the world around them as if they were not wearing any armor? Well, techically any armor of Yusaku's model could, but considering mass production projects were discontinued he could kinda claim he was the only roboarmor able to do that.

"I'm already enjoying it. So, how about we climb out of this crater and follow the arrows? I can tell you more about the thug gang we'll be visiting tonight as we proceed." Yusaku's voice chimed right in Goro's ears. Integrated headphones inside the helmet. "Oh, by the way, only you can hear me now. Right then, off we go."

Yusaku had a kick in seeing Goro's hearbeat spike as soon as he jumped off. So the guy wasn't as stone cold as he tried to make him believe. "Well, its the truth, to be honest. Tho, would you expect me to get into any kind of relationship?" The bat robot held a chuckle back as he replied. It was kind of true, he wouldn't really be able to form the usual relationship humans have. Then, the robot was genuinely surprised to see Goro being knowledgable about some of the systems at play within his hardware.

"Fullbody haptic feedback, yes sir!" He confirmed. "It definitely makes it easier for you to get used to our shared body. I'm...surprised you know about it. Do you have any kind of robotics degree?" If Goro did, then he really hit the jackpot on that one. Still, for how much theoretical knowledge Goro had, he lacked experience.

"You know...you should relax more. You're doing a good job walking on claws, but you feel a bit...stiff. I think the best way to get a feel for things is to just stop thinking and just do things." Yusaku casually stated, observing Goro as he followed the waypoints. "We're a badass bat-wyvern thingy, we can have fun with it no?"

A swift swish of Yusaku's tail corrected Goro's posture and prevented them from toppling over. The robot's presence was always there despite Goro being able to move freely. From how it looked like, Yusaku would only intervene to correct Goro's wobbly walk or balance problem. For someone that demanded complete control, he sure left Goro a great degree of freedom.

"Oh right, right. Info on our targets." He remembered, squeezing himself just slightly tigher onto Goro, hopefully redistributing weight in just the right way for his new friend to be able to move around without problem. "Basically, they are a band of biker thugs. All quirkless. Five of em tried to mug me and a friend. Hell, one of them even got all gropey with her. We did beat em up but you know...I really want to snap all their legs in half."

This time, Goro could feel Yusaku tense up, ready to fight. He could feel his burning desire to inflict pain. Hell, it was almost close to killing intent. "You can expect them to have knives and firearms. Knives we don't care about. They can try and stab at Nightmare all they want, they ain't getting through fifteen millimeters of military grade ablative armor. Firearms we need to be more on guard. A few gunshots we can shrug, so long the don't hit our face. If they bust my face visor, I go blind and by proxy, you go blind as well. Higher caliber guns can punch through me if they fire enough. Avoid any rifle fire just to be sure. They are hold up in an old rund down house in a junkyard by the docks. We can expect them to have cameras, so we can deal with the thing in two ways. Option one, we sneak in and deal with them one by one. Option two, we go in loud and just break their legs."

Yusaku seemed pretty adamant on breaking legs that night.

"Your call on this one. Oh, one last thing...in case you speak anything out loud that you want them to hear...I hope you don't mind if I mask your voice."

"God you really need to stop thinking about me as some sort of object. Hacking is knowledge, not a program you install in your brain. Definitely isn't what you think it is. I don't type random shit on a holokeyboard." Yusaku answered, lowering their body on all fours as they snuck inside the junkyard and hid behind one of the massive piles of metal and broken plastic. The robot remained slightly surprised Goro had managed to locate a camera directly above them and out of their field of view. He must have had some sort of quirk that enhanced his perception. Considering the guy was half bat, Yusaku would put a finger on echolocation.

The robot squeezed tight around Goro to eliminate any wiggle room. A skin tight fit would allow his pilot to move unrestrained. Goro would have to get used to the more sluggish response times due to their weight, but it wasn't going to be too bad. Yusaku waited for Goro to look up to see if there was some kind of port to jack himself into.

"Yeah, I can hack it, but not from here. I would need to touch it to interface with it. Though I do not see any kind of access port on that thing. If you can find some sort of repeater or control box around here we could actually wiggle inside their camera systems and use that to pick off targets one at the time. Oh, for the 'not thinking' thing. I more mean try to act in unison. The stronger the bond, the better we fight together, mind you. One mind, one body, their worst Nightmare."

With that said, Yusaku waited for Goro to go ahead with his stealth plan. The guy was there to handle the fighting after all. Yusaku was only providing the bat boy with a cool, powerful body to carry on his deal. If any band member approached their position alone, well...their next few minutes wouldn't be a pretty one.

Right on cue, Yusaku yanked the cover off effortlessly and jammed their three clawed hand inside. Goro could feel a tingly sensation along his arm as he was connected to a machine for the very first time in his life. It took Yusaku ten minutes of hacking, but then he was able to exploit a small vulnerability in the system to weasel inside the security network.

Image flashed in front of Goro's shielded eyes. Camera feeds. Camera feeds of the areas around the run down building they were in. He could see everything. Every guard, every patrol route... he had complete access. Yusaku retreated their shared hand from the access box and chuckled. "All done, I have masked our signature. To the cameras around here we are invisible. I guess I should thank them for keeping such an old and shitty cctv network going." The robot stated, curious to what Goro would do now. The bat boy could feel his partner wishing too move forward and single out their first victim for the night. It turned out that, being linked like that to the robot bat transferred his will onto his pilot as some sort of...bodily need. He could resist the urge to move or do things no problem, but seconding those motion would feel oodly refreshing and oddly satisfying for both of them.

"Alright then, let's go see what we can do..." He heard Yusaku say. "I'm curious to test what our shared form is actualy capable of, now that I'm augmenting you with my powers. Remember, No killing! But hey...if you break their legs..I wouldn't mind."

The last part of that sentence Goro could definitely hear Yusaku more devious and dark side emerging. Deep down the robot teen wanted Goro to show him that dark side. He wanted to be corrupted. He wanted to taste the forbidden fruit of villany, if only for just a bite. THe allure of Darkness, after all, is rather intriguing and addictive.
