A lone human staggered through the various piles of junk lying about the junkyard, his ragged face smeared with a few streaks of dirt and blood. His clothes were tattered and ripped, and something under his shirt seemed to be 'pulsating' if one looked at it long enough. He paused, then staggered against a pile as he screamed in agony, clutching at his chest as he did so.
"N-no! I won't do it! I-ARRGH!!! goddamn that robot!"
The man's veins bulged outward as his screams continued, and something was... wriggling under his chest. He thrashed and staggered about, clutching at his head.
"Though he had a point... what'd humanity ever do for me?! I bet no one even knew I was gone! GRAAAA!!!" He growled.

"What happened to you?" Some one asked, as she made herself known by come out from behind another junk pile, it was none other then little Cynder. The wyrmling looked at the 'human' with a confused expression. She had never seen a human act like this or have pulsing veins, and she had seen a great number of them in the streets when she visited downtown in one of the times when there wasn't a disaster going on.
(OOC: Had to give Cyndy more time in the spotlight. Cynder: ... Cyndy? Azure: Shaddup couldn't think of anything better.)

The man spun around as drool was now covering half of his face, pupils dialated and breathing coming in harsh, ragged breaths.
"Wh-what the hell?! It's a- AAAAAAAAAUUUUGGH!!!" He screamed, throwing his head back.
In his thrashing, he tore his shirt off, revealing an oval-shaped purple crystal, from which gray 'veins' were sprouting, digging into the man's body. He screamed once more before his body started changing, eventually becoming a hunched, humanoid mass of biomechanical flesh with two bulbous red eyes.
"ZOONDAAA!!!!" It roared.
It growled at Cynder, raising a clawed hand before fleeing on its two burly legs, making audible 'thumps' with every step.

Cynder blinked in mild shock. "...What the f***!?" the wyrmling asked... and surprisingly tailed the biomechanical being.
"Are you f***ing insane?" her Hollow half asked.
"Maybe... thanks to you..."
"I resent that!"

The 'Zonder' as it apparently called itself, was weaving in and out of the junk pile, eventually reaching a heap of trashed electronics. Growling to itself, it jumped into the pile, which, shortly after receiving its 'guest' began pulsating and pulling into itself.
"ZOOOOONNDAAAAAAAA!!!!!" The pile roared, beginning to take a shape.
The pile was glwoing a deep purple as it started assuming a semi-humanoid shape. Towering over 20 feet tall, it had a scythe-like blade composing one arm, the other being several hook-like claws. Its head was nigh-bullet shaped, with spikes jutting out of several rows on the top half. A single red eye set into a black visor served for an optic, and its legs resembled a pair of thick cockroach legs. A thin, plated tail swayed behind the thing, and a large cylinder was mounted on each shoulder. Being a brown-black in color, it looked at Cynder as a tooth-filled maw opened up and issued the word,
"ZOOOONDAAA!!!!!"
With that, it began stomping towards the junkyard gate, gorlwing and snarling as it did so.

Cynder let out a small 'eep!' and quickly let Hollow Cynder take over, as her small child body quickly grew into her adult self with half the mask on her face. Hollow Cynder glared at the Zonder and scoffed, "You don't scare me."
The Hollow dragon then charged at the Zonder, body slamming it away, before calling upon her strongest attack, "Fire Fury!"
The pulse of flame quickly overtook the Zonder and covered it, though if any damage was done was unknown...

"ZOOOONDAAA!!!!"
The biomechanical monstrosity staggered out of the smoke, its body charred and blackened. Then, the blackened areas began healing rapidly until the thing looked good as new. It snarled as the front-ends of its shoulder-mounted cylinders opened up, emanating a humming sound. It was upon closer inspection that both cylinders contained countless speakers...
"ZOOONDAAA...."
Twin bursts of sound lanced forth, impacting before Cynder and making a noise so screechingly loud the Hollow could feel her teeth rattle. The Zonder roared once more, charging forward as it swept its blade-arm at the Hollow, nicking her shoulder once before it spun around and slammed its tail into the masked side of her face.

"GRAAH!" the hollow screeched, feeling the mask crack. It wasn't enough to be dissipated, but it was damn close. She was worried that another hit like that would leave her mask unsalvageable by any amount of reiatsu, which would in turn force her back into Cynder's mind. She refuses to admit, but over time, she's grown fond of the little wyrmling's company, and it was more then survival instinct making her desire Cynder's survival. She... She honestly cared for the little wyrmling.
But enough musing, the Zonder was priming another follow up attack, one that Hollow Cynder did not intend to let hit. She sweeped her tail, taking the Zonder's legs out from underneath him, before driving the blade into the Zonder's skull. It didn't go very far, but Hollow Cynder still hope she had done some lasting damage with that.
"May I make a suggestion, seeing as how he's not going to attack in the next minute or so?" Cynder began, tapping against the Hollow's conscious to get her attention.
"...What is it?" she replied with less force then she intended, she was still trying to come off as an evil b**** who didn't give a care about anyone but herself, and was failing more and more.
"Uh... perhaps we should just run and hope some one more suited to defeating it comes along. We clearly can't make a lasting impression against it."
Hollow Cynder considered this, and agreed somewhat reluctantly, pulsing a Fire Fury at the Zonder to cover her retreat as she took to the skies.

Cynder's idea came to life as a tall black machine landed before the rising Zonder, its two wings folding against its back as it did so. Spite's eye flashed as he clenched his fists, causing an electric-blue blade of energy to erupt forth from each forearm.
"I will NOT have my brother's reputation tarnished by some BIOMECHNICAL FREAK!" He roared.
"ZOOOONDAAA!!!!" The beast bellowed in return.
"Oh, shut it." Spite muttered.
Rushing forward, Spite carved a pair of deep gashes into the Zonder's body, sending fluids and sparks flying into the air as Spite rebounded off of a nearby pile, bouncing and slashing for roughly a minute straight. Chunks of metal flew into the air as the Zonder bellowed in pain, literally falling apart as Spite finally stopped. The bot glared at the Zonder, throwing his arms to the side as four metal spheres ejected from his back, hovering behind him in an 'X' formation.
"Time to test the OCA..." He muttered.
Each sphere had a small, crater-shaped indent in their 'front', each of which began to glow a red color. The onder was already regenerating by now, and Spite growled as he assumed a defensive stance. His chest panel slowly began sliding apart, and the green sphere on his chest began to glow like the sun. The four spheres behind him began rotating at high speeds, until finally becoming a black blur behind him.
"GRAVITY CANNON, FIRE!"
A massive beam of red-and-purple energy flew forth from his chest and slammed into the Zonder, blowing off its entire top half in a few seconds. The spinning of the spheres stopped as Spite's chest re-formed, the bot rushing forward to the torso-less Zonder.
"There!" He shouted.
He slammed into the Zonder's body, ripping metal and flesh out of the way until he reached a large purple sphere, roughly 3 feet in diameter. He ripped it free of the body before flying backwards, then began firing off blasts of electric-blue energy from the ports of his forearms at the Zonder's body. Without its 'core', then Zonder had no regeneration, causing it to crumble and explode under Spite's assault. The bot nodded, then turned to the pulsating purple sphere in his grip.
"And now, to finish the job..."
The sphere suddenly reverted into the proto-Zonder humanoid from before, and upon doing started screaming and hissing as he attempted to escape Spite's grip.
"Without GaiGar around... I'll just have to kill it..."
The Zonder paused for a moment, then looked up at Spite before it was cleaved in half by one of the bot's energy blades. Thick, goopy blood spayed out from the halves as Spite dropped the corpse without interest. The individual halves slowly reverted into the corpse-halves of the human Cynder had encountered before.
"Meh, he was a bum. No one'll miss him." Spite muttered as the four spheres returned to his back.

Hollow Cynder blinked in minor shock.
"... You sure your not able to see the future?" she asked the wyrmling, as there has been a previous incident where Cynder's advice had come to realization soon after the Hollow agreed with it, and the little wyrmling had sworn up and down that it was a complete fluke that it happened right then and there.
"I swear, I can not see the future, and I doubt thats gonna change soon!" Cynder responded.
The Hollow mentally nodded, and began to fly off, not wanting to stick around incase another Zonder made itself known.

Spite considered shooting down the Hollow for a moment, realizing she'd probably tell Solranous about what she had just encountered. He abruptly raised his arm at the retreating figure, then sighed, lowering said appendage.
"Wouldn't do me any good... they'll find out sooner or later." He muttered.
Shifting into his quadrepedal mode, Spite then rocketed off into the sky, hoping to find the next Zonder.
