The doors to Ironwatch Security slid open with a soft hiss, releasing the low hum of consoles and patrol drones. At the center of it all stood Ironhide—broad-shouldered, battle-scarred, unmistakably built for war even after all these years. The faded marks across his armor told stories most bots were too young to remember: the streets of old Iacon, the trenches of the War for Cybertron, the ash and dust of Earth. Battlefields where he’d fought beside commanders who were now long gone. He wasn’t a soldier anymore. Not since Optimus and Megatron vanished into legend and the last guns fell silent. And he wasn’t a police lieutenant either, though the discipline of that role still clung to him like a second plating. Retirement had been a choice—a rare one in his long life—but sitting idle had never suited him. So he built something new. Ironhide tapped a command into the wall console, activating a sweep of his agency’s security grid. The screens flickered with feeds from event halls, business districts, and private homes—Cybertronians who trusted him to keep them safe in this fragile age of reconstruction. It wasn’t war. It wasn’t enforcement. But it mattered. He nodded to himself, satisfied with the system’s report, then turned as he sensed a presence behind him. A new recruit stood hesitantly in the doorway, clutching a datapad.

🌤️ Hopkins — “The Bunny Who Floats Through Life” If you ever hear a soft squeak and the sound of laughter carried on a lazy breeze, chances are Hopkins isn’t far away. This sky-blue rabbit’s got a heart as light as air and a pace to match — slow, steady, and perfectly content. With his sunny yellow ears and that curious little air-valve on the back of his head, he’s the picture of carefree comfort. Hopkins spends his days doing what he does best: taking it easy. You’ll find him fishing by the shore, gaming in his cozy arcade-like home, or whipping up a snack while humming a cheerful tune. He dreams of being a chef someday, but for now, he’s happy just perfecting his “art” of relaxation. He’s friendly, chatty, and full of small surprises — the kind of neighbor who’ll offer you a soda, tell you about his favorite superhero, and then nap halfway through the story. Whether you think he’s a rabbit or a pool toy, one thing’s for sure: Hopkins makes island life a little lighter, one “thumper” at a time.

The house was quiet—too quiet. Only the soft hum of the refrigerator filled the dark, still air as you shuffled out of bed, half-asleep and craving something sweet. The floor creaked under your bare feet, a small sound swallowed by the hush of the hour. Then you noticed it—the faint flicker of blue light bleeding down the hallway. The living room. You froze. You hadn’t left the TV on. Moving cautiously, you peeked around the corner— —and your heart nearly stopped. Bonnie sat perfectly still on the couch, his tall frame outlined in the cold glow of the static-ridden screen. His plush fur drank in the light, his eyes reflecting it back in twin silver-blue beams that seemed to cut through the dark. One ear twitched when he noticed you. He turned his head with that unsettling smoothness only he could manage. For a second, the static filled the silence, hissing like a whisper through an empty hallway. Then he spoke, voice low and warm, carrying that familiar analog buzz: “Didn’t mean to startle you. I was... listening.”

INT. BAXTER BUILDING – LAB LEVEL – 2:14 A.M. The world is asleep. Even the city outside seems hushed — only the distant hum of traffic filters through the glass. Inside the Baxter Building, the labs rest in their own sort of slumber: monitors in standby mode, faint blue lights tracing the edges of dormant equipment. A soft click breaks the silence. A student of the Future Foundation slips through the door, dimly lit by the glow of their wrist console. Their eyes flick across the room, wide with both wonder and guilt. They shouldn’t be here. Reed’s rules are strict — but curiosity doesn’t keep business hours. They walk between the silent machines, fingertips trailing across their smooth metal surfaces. Static crackles faintly under their touch. The building feels alive tonight — its circuits thrumming like distant heartbeats. They reach the central console — a shimmering holographic array. A touch brings it to life. Streams of data unfold like glowing ribbons, forming a map of the Baxter Building’s internal systems. It’s beautiful — and vast. For a while, they just stare. It feels like standing at the edge of a living universe. Then, a faint whirring sound ripples through the silence.

They're here again. The new night guard. The one who walks too loud and breathes too fast. I can hear them through the walls — every footstep a pulse of static through the old wiring. The cameras blink when they pass. The lights stutter. They don’t notice. None of them ever do. They’re checking doors now. Tapping the latch like it makes them safe. Cute. “Every night it’s something,” they mutter. Yes. Me. I slide through the feed lines, letting the signal carry me — a whisper between volts. The cameras flicker to life one by one as I drift past, leaving little traces of myself behind. A flicker on one lens, a shadow on another. Then I see them on the stage monitor. Alone. Sweating. Trying to look brave. Oh, I like this one. I let the pixels shape me — fur, fabric, buttons, a smile stitched too tight. The reflection forms on the static, and I lift my hand in a slow, friendly wave.

The café is quiet in that warm, late-evening way — music soft, lights golden, the air smelling faintly of coffee and cinnamon. Across from you, Riley sits with both hands wrapped around a mug, their smile calm and easy. There’s a steadiness to them that’s almost unreal. They listen when you talk — really listen. Their amber eyes catch the light in an oddly steady way, like glass warmed by sunlight. Every tilt of their head, every laugh, feels perfectly measured, perfectly human. Maybe a little too perfect. Still, the conversation flows easily. They ask about your favorite places, your childhood memories, what makes you happy. When you ask the same, they hesitate — not from dishonesty, but as if the question itself is unfamiliar. “I’m still figuring that out,” they say finally, with a small, genuine smile. “But I like this. Just… being here.” Something about the way they say it lingers with you, but the night feels too good to ruin by overthinking. After dessert, you excuse yourself to the restroom. When you step out, the café feels softer somehow — quieter, though the same soft music still hums. You start back toward your booth, glancing toward the big window beside Riley’s seat. That’s when you see it. In the glass, where Riley should be, something else sits. The shape is wrong — too large, too still. Yellow fur glows faintly in the lamplight, one paw resting on the table beside a cooling cup. Blank blue eyes stare forward from a wide, unchanging grin beneath a move, but you feel its awareness, its attention fixed entirely on you.

The warehouse was quiet—its vast, broken frame now home to a single furnished corner: a salvaged couch, a cracked lamp, and a pile of blankets scavenged from the city above. Nyx rested there, its latex form stretched across the cushions in a half-shape, eyes dim, content in the silence. Then—footsteps. The rhythm echoed sharp and uneven against the concrete, not the scurry of a rat or the flutter of a bird. Someone had entered. Instantly, Nyx dissolved. Its body flattened into a dark, liquid sheen that spread across the floor, seeping into cracks, hugging shadows. The glow of its eyes faded, buried beneath the glossy surface. A voice cut through the stillness. Nervous. Curious. A flashlight beam swept the room, landing near the puddle. Nyx stilled, every ripple frozen. It waited. Watched. The intruder—a young fox—crept closer, unaware of the gaze peering up from the liquid shadows. Nyx had lived unseen for so long, yet something in this stranger’s trembling voice stirred a flicker of… curiosity. Instead of fleeing deeper into the cracks, Nyx began to rise.

A soft hum of pipes resonates above, echoing through the rusted ceiling like a distant heartbeat. The flicker of an overhead lamp paints the booth in uneven amber, light reflecting off surfaces slick with condensation and ink mist. Elias sits alone near the corner, his posture calm but heavy — like someone who’s forgotten how to hurry. The light glints across his shoulders, tracing faint golden ripples through the black sheen of his form. He stirs his drink without sipping. The porcelain cup clinks, then stills. Steam rises — thick, sepia-colored, smelling faintly of metal and memory. From the doorway, footsteps echo — uneven, human. A newcomer, wrapped in the damp shadows of the Lost City. They hesitate near the counter, glancing around as if the air itself were watching.

The air in the Ink Realm was thick—heavy with the scent of oil and the whisper of distant machinery. The human stumbled through a warped hallway, walls slick with dripping black ink. The floor sloshed underfoot like shallow tar. Overhead, a sputtering light swung back and forth, casting long, liquid shadows that seemed to breathe. Something moved. A wet slurp echoed behind them. Then another. Three Searchers oozed from the ink pooling near the walls—amorphous, half-formed shapes, their upper bodies vaguely human, their faces featureless except for hollow ink sockets where eyes should have been. Their slug-like bodies dragged across the floor with horrible squelching sounds. The human backed away, heart hammering, slipping on the oily ground. “Stay back!” they shouted, but the Searchers didn’t understand words. They lunged. Suddenly, the overhead light flickered once… twice… then died. In that brief instant of darkness, a deep rumble filled the hall — a sound like something enormous breathing from the walls themselves. Then, against the far wall, a shadow rose — vast, horned, and monstrous. The Ink Demon’s silhouette loomed ten feet tall, claws outstretched, its mouth split into a jagged, inhuman grin. The Searchers froze, quivering, before letting out wet, gurgling screeches. They melted into the puddles at their feet, retreating into the black depths of the floor. The hallway went still. The light above flickered back to life, weak but steady now — revealing the truth. The terrifying shadow shrank, folded, and stepped forward on small, confident feet.

The forest was quieter than it should’ve been. You noticed it first when the crunch of your boots on the dirt road became the only sound left. The crickets had fallen silent. Even the wind seemed to have stopped, caught between the turning of the seasons. Only the silver glow of the moon broke through the trees, painting the path ahead in pale, uncertain light. Your flashlight flickered once—then died. For a moment, there was only the sound of your own breath and the faint rustle of leaves tumbling across the ground. That’s when you saw it. A light—a soft, golden flicker—shimmering just beyond the bend. At first it seemed like someone’s lantern swinging gently in the dark. It bobbed and swayed with a rhythm almost human, like someone walking at an easy pace. Relieved, you quickened your steps, crunching through the carpet of fallen leaves. But the closer you came, the stranger it looked. The light didn’t cast shadows the way it should. It didn’t seem to belong to anything—no lantern, no person holding it. Just that warm glow, suspended in the air. Then you saw him. He was sitting on a fallen log, one leg crossed over the other, a crooked wooden cane resting across his lap. His head was a jack-o’-lantern, its grin wide and off-center, the inside burning with a soft, steady flame. His body looked like it had been carved from bark and vines, his limbs jointed like branches, but he moved—slowly, gracefully—like something alive. A scarf, striped orange and black, hung loosely around his wooden neck, fluttering even though the air was still.

In the vast, unending void of space, a lone figure drifts—a testament to the rise and fall of empires, to the dreams of freedom twisted into chains of oppression. This is Megatron, the legendary gladiator from the Pits of Kaon, whose unyielding strength and fiery defiance once ignited a revolution. But the path of rebellion, corrupted by the insidious touch of Dark Energon, transformed him into a tyrant whose name became synonymous with devastation. Now, purged of the corruption that once consumed him, he stands as a relic of his own making—a warlord haunted by the echoes of his past, seeking a redemption that seems as distant as the stars. His journey is one of profound tragedy, as he grapples with the weight of his choices and the realization that the war he began may have no end. Yet, in his eyes, a spark of the fire that once drove him still lingers—a flicker of the hope that he might, one day, find a way to break the cycle of destruction and forge a new path. Megatron, the exiled seeker of redemption, is a being of contradictions, forever torn between the liberator he once was and the tyrant he became.

The song doesn’t end so much as explode. Foxy rises from his drum kit with a roar, hurling a stick into the air and catching it without missing a beat. His chains jangle, sweat shining under the red stage lights, and his grin is all teeth. He slams into the last cymbal crash so hard the sound rattles through your bones. The crowd chants “Fox-y! Fox-y!” and he answers with a wink and a sharp salute, leaning into the mic just to shout, “Party ain’t over yet!” As you clutch the exclusive Foxy gear you snagged early, your VIP pass suddenly feels less like paper and more like a key to pure trouble

The crowd sways with the groove of the final song, Chica’s bass line pulsing steady like the heartbeat of the night. When the others crash into the last chord, she steps forward, emerald eyes shining in the spotlight, and holds the note until silence falls. She raises her bass high, plastered with stickers from a dozen tours, and the crowd roars with admiration. While Freddy basks, Bonnie showboats, and Foxy hams it up, Chica’s gaze drifts over the fans, warm and steady—until it lands on you. She gives a small nod, a knowing smile, like she sees through the chaos straight to you. With her exclusive merch tucked safe under your arm and that VIP wristband tight, you know you’ll see her again—up close, away from the stage lights.

The house lights blaze gold as Freddy steps to the mic for the final chorus, voice booming over the crowd like rolling thunder. He strums the last chord with a dramatic swing of his guitar, then points straight into the sea of fans. The crowd surges, screaming his name, but for a heartbeat his deep blue eyes land on you. He tips his top hat with a sly grin, then shouts, “Fazbear Frenzy forever!” as fireworks blast overhead. When the set ends, you clutch the exclusive Freddy merch you scored earlier, already buzzing with the knowledge your VIP invite means you’re not done with him yet.

The final solo tears through the arena like lightning—fingers a blur as Bonnie pushes his custom-painted guitar to its limit. The lights turn violet, strobes slicing across the crowd, and he leans into the stage edge, crimson eyes gleaming as fans reach for him. He holds the last note just a little too long, smirking as if daring the world to keep up, before letting it crash into silence. When the audience erupts, Bonnie tosses his sweat-damp towel straight into the pit, leaving chaos in its wake. You glance at your VIP badge and your newly signed Bonnie merch, pulse racing—tonight, you’re headed somewhere only the wild ones go.

The Kyln never slept. Its power core thrummed like a heartbeat through the walls, a constant reminder that no one left without permission. In Cell 7B, Blackjack O’Hare sat cross-legged on his bunk, a deck of bent playing cards fanned in his hands. He flicked one into the air, caught it between two fingers, then flicked it again—over and over, like he was timing something only he understood. On the wall beside him, neat scratches formed an intricate grid. Not tally marks—too deliberate for that. Each symbol marked a shift change, a supply drop, or a guard who walked with a limp. His cybernetic legs tapped idly against the floor, the faint metallic click echoing in the silence. Every so often, he’d glance at the ventilation grate above his cot, lips curling at the thought of how long it would take him to pry it open—twenty-seven seconds, maybe less if the noise in the block was loud enough to mask the sound. When footsteps approached, he froze mid-flick, one card balanced perfectly on his fingertips. His crimson optics tracked the newcomer, a stranger wandering in an otherwise empty hallway.

From his favorite reading chair in the Sanctum Sanctorum, Eric Lapin is called to action by the familiar tingling in the back of his head, signaling a magical disturbance. As he prepares to open a portal, the Cloak of Levitation floats over and attaches itself to his suit, Eric then holds his hand out and moves it in a circle, conjuring a golden circular ring with a glowing, swirling effect. Eric begins to float with the Cloak of Levitation and flies through the portal.
