    Bolt did not see the victory. How could he? Watching mech battles required good sensors and more than a few other things that he had no access to. He'd also been asleep, mostly because his family had hidden some sleeping aids in his drink soon after everything had been finished. The young man...

    With only a week to work Bolt had not put together a perfect mech. He had done his best to take into account what the mech and how the mech was going to fight. One of those factors that his mech was going to get in a direct confrontation. It was going to fight alone without support against...

    Lilly did not have much time to practice with The Drowned Man. She had a night and some of the day if she wanted to push it. That was fine though. She'd been well rested beforehand and an all nighter wouldn't hinder her. Unfamiliarity with the mech would though. She was good, not an instant...

    Chewing on the block of nutrients was not exactly a pleasant experience. It grounded him. Despite the brave front his parents were presenting, there was a lot of problems in the background. He hoped and prayed that his family would all handle it, but it was not something that he should help...

    Bolt's family was relatively well off for Wrench Rats. Not particularly rich, but above the standard. They had two holdings, though without a central government that meant little. It just meant that they controlled the areas with a mix of force and occupation. One was their shop front, a...

    What's Junk? (The Mech Touch)

    Fair warning, the mech touch is long and goes off the rails over time. At some point you'll likely start hating the mc. Tbh it's actually a good slide into villainry really. The first parts pretty good, so I'm trying to stay to that more than the latter stuff.

    It took a long moment before they could breathe again. Bolt kept glancing at the crude sensors of his vehicle, expecting the mech to be behind them and gaining. On terrain like this, rocky and devoid of cover, the mech could outpace them. It didn't have to worry about hitting a divot and...

    Bolt lowered his binoculars and thought over what he'd seen. One part of him loved the fact that he'd gotten to see his mech in action. The carnage and destruction had given him so many ideas. The rest of him was utterly enraged. Some dipstick had sabotaged his mech! They hadn't even done a good...

    He doesn't talk like that normally. He's trying mostly to be charming and like a perfect dashing knight.

    In the knee. Lilly closed out the menu by instinct and continued to walk forward in Ghoul. No, Bolt had said around the knee. Why would the techs mess that up? On mild instinct she bounced a bit on the next step and then flexed the neck. The casual motion made the mech lurch and would have made...

    Lately it was like he'd found a good luck charm. Fortune had been favoring him for the past few days, and his cousin's latest find was just a cherry on top. They'd found an entire series of mech design books and given it to him on cheap. Bolt had only recently really decided to commit to the...

    AN: Been inspired, so you get a chapter today. -- Lilly had not been able to get Bolt's creation immediately. It had taken some whining, some pleading, and far too much cutesy talk. The girl, and it was a girl mech obviously, didn't look pretty or worth the asking price. Her specs on paper...

    AN: Went over this a few more times than normal. It's sorta something that should be central to the thing, mech design! --- Creating a junk mech was far different than designing a mech from the ground up. It was more akin to a puzzle than a design, and one that didn't lend itself to...

    Momma didn't raise no quitter. Bolt kept that in mind as he went about his day. Once Wrecker and his daughter had left, things had mostly gone back to normal. He had Lilly's contact information and a discrete way to contact her in a spare comm unit. He'd shown her how to do text-to-speech...
