[challenge] Crossover Challenge
Dec. 1st, 2008 08:36 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Okay, instead of the monthly 24-hour challenge this'll probably end up being more like... 50 hours. Or something. Because I'll be having lots of homework and classes and such so I really won't be able to keep up with the prompts as they come in. So, to make up for it I'll be stretching this out until probably Wednesday night.
So this month's challenge? Crossover time. Give me two series (prompts and characters are optional) and I'll write a couple lines or a paragraph in response. You can find a list of things I know either under my interests or tags. Or, if you think I may know something that's not listed you can put it up and I'll let you know if I'm familiar with it or not (most like, though? not).
Please keep it to one prompt to a person. But once your prompt has been completed you can prompt again up until I close the challenge
CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED
I'll be finishing up the prompts after I get back from school.

"Lost the Esper girl," Kefka groused to himself, alternating between scowls and uncontrollable cackles. "And those useless Magitek soldiers went and got themselves vaporized before I could even kill them for their stupidity!" Normally the notion of one's demise at the (metaphorical) hands of a frozen Esper-cicle would've sent him into peals of laughter, but not now. Not when he's most intriguing of toys was now missing.
"No matter. I have plenty more toys to play with," he told himself, hands rubbing and twisting together in pale, thick-knuckled knots. Kefka rode the platform into the Magitek factory beneath the palace and a second platform to the labs even further below. "Cid!" His thin voice cracked above the cacophony of hissing machines and working parts and crackling tests. "Cid! I want my new armor! Now!"
Cid scurried forward, faceless among the countless other technicians beneath the sweat and grime and yellow protective suit. "Sir, we're trying as fast as we can-"
"Try faster." It was not an order to be casually ignored.
"Sir, it is not as easy to infuse these relics with magic as it is with regular Magitek armor. It's almost as difficult as infusing a person. We've already damaged another one beyond all repair-"
Kefka's hand, despite its thinness and boniness, was hard and unbreakable and Cid could feel the power even through all the layers that protected his neck. "I don't want failure, Cid," he hissed. "I want results. I have lost three Magitek armors and the Esper girl. Show me this armor."
"Yessir, of course! R-Right this way." Cid hurried toward the main lab, bent under his suit. Years of hard research and long hours of work and fear of Kefka had whittled him to a man far older than his years.
In the main lab, five of six of the stalls were occupied by large metallic bipedal creatures of various sizes and shapes. Two had wings- one black, the other white -while two more had wheels- one a boxy, dull green, the other slender and blue and white. The tallest was red and blue and was the one furthest along in the experimentation.
"Ah, the first of my new army," Kefka said with his painted lips curling into a smile of cold passion. "These are no mere Magitek armors. These... will be my Magitek Elite."

Hm... Can I woo you into a card game scene between the 'Bots and the Returners during the World of Ruin? ;D

I dunno what would be scarier: them fighting or getting along in some Medical Alliance From Hell...

"Smile? That's it?"
"Yes."
"You just smile? And they do as you say? No arguments?"
"None at all."
"I... don't know how that's possible."
"You should try it sometimes. A simple smile can do wonders."
"Hey, Ratchet! I've been looking all over for you, you know! I keep telling you, I've got this terrible pain going up my diodes and the joint in my knee is acting up again and I swear there's some twisted up cables in-"
Huffer abruptly found himself speechless, suddenly faced with a very brightly smiling Ratchet. "Pain you say?" The CMO said almost (Huffer shuddered to himself) warmly. "Now isn't that a shame, you coming to me with the same complaints you had last time. Why, one would almost think it's like you're saying I can't do my job!"
Huffer didn't know what to say, but he knew he had to say it carefully. "Er, I... didn't say that."
"Of course you didn't."
"I didn't even mean to imply it either- you know that, Ratchet!"
"Of course you wouldn't."
"It's just... er..."
"Yes?"
"I..."
"Yes?"
Huffer looked desperately between the smiling Ratchet and the equally smiling shinigami sitting next to him. "You know what? It's really not that bad at all. You just... keep doing what you're doing and I'll go somewhere else." Without waiting for a goodbye, Huffer bolted.
"Well, Unohana-taichou I must admit. You certainly do know how to deal with patients."
The captain smiled and picked up her cup of tea. "It's something I seem to excel at."

thanks so much for writing this.
New cross-over!

"No dude. Seriously."
"No, seriously dude. I know."
"I know, dude. But still."
"Yeah. I mean... dude."
"Dude, man."
"Dude."
Prowl abruptly surged to his feet, hands in tight fists at his side. "That's it! I've had enough!"
"Aw, c'mon dude-"
"No! No more! Not another dude out of either of you!"
"But-"
"No! This is beyond absurd! This is... this is practically an insult!" Prowl jabbed a finger at the green form lounging against the yellow Autobot's side. "How can you even call yourself a ninja- you have as much discipline as Bumblebee!"
Ranting done, Prowl turned on his heel and stalked out.
"Dude," Bumblebee said slowly, "you are like the greatest ninja ever."
Michelangelo smirked, continuing to lounge to his deceptive heart's content. "I know, dude. I know."
