A Girl and her Car (a Transformers x MHA crossover)

[Titanmaster_117]

​

At first, there was darkness.

There was nothing. No, there wasn't even nothing at the beginning. No concept existed, for there were no thoughts to create such concepts, for there was no life to have such thoughts. There was just absence. A void.

Then, something came into existence. A flicker, a pulse. A light in the darkness, slowly building until suddenly-

An explosion. A sudden rush of lights and sound as senses came into being, the world rushing into view as they saw the bright lights around them and heard the commotion of life coming into being and felt the ground beneath them and smelt the cool air and tasted the humidity in the air.

And then, the overload began to simmer and the information overflow began to cool, and the world began to make sense as liquid metal rose up from the soft, gelatinous ground below to gather around the spark of light that had emerged from the well behind it. Arms and legs grew out of the pool of metal to form a silver body, an exo-skeleton forming before being covered by the jelly-like metal.

Then, the metal began to cool and solidify, taking on colour and shape, growing distinguishable features and shades. Yellow skin began to grow over the body, the limbs taking on a boxy shape. Wheels and tyres took form as a horned head formed from the metal, and as the body stumbled forward and the ground beneath them solidified along with them, their kibble forming on their body and their form finally finding its shape-

"Hey, easy."

-The young bot, the new-born robot, looked up to see hundreds, thousands, millions of people emerging from the metal alongside him, the newly made sparks emerging from the well behind them and interacting with the liquid metal, taking on new shapes of their own.

A robot much larger than himself smiled down at the new-born bot and helped him onto her feet. He was but one of hundreds, maybe even thousands of other robots helping to coax this new generation into the world. The crowds behind them were massive, watching on with rapturous, reverent awe.

The world around him was made of metal. The sky was awash with distant nebulae behind a blue veil and half a dozen metal moons.

"You're going to do great things, B-127," the robot told him, "I'm certain of it."

He held out his hand.

"Let's find out what you're destined for."

The new-born robot took his hand-

-And the dream repeated for the rusted old car at the bottom of the ocean, being swept along the sea floor by the currents. Its body was tested by the violent pressure of the water around it, testing its strength and threatening to crumple it to pieces. Its body was smashed and battered and worn down from years of disuse. Time had not treated it with any kindness.

Yet, somehow, it still kept its shape, its frame and shell still intact as it was smashed against the sea floor, slowly being carried from one end of the ocean to the other.

Was the change in the ocean tide a natural occurrence? Divine intervention? The aftermath of a battle between this world's champions and their demons? Was its course made by the hand of whatever deity may reside high in the sky or a string of coincidences and circumstances brewing into the perfect storm? It was impossible to know.

But, as the dinky old car rolled along the ocean, approaching a distant shore...

As three women trained together in an undisclosed camp far away from the eyes of the public...

As a man looked over his kingdom of steel and the nightmares that he has cultivated...

As a young inventor searched the coastline for scraps and parts...

As a clan of refugees sheltered in the darkness...

As an legion of monsters made from the skin and meat of beings from another world readied themselves for battle...

And as an army of killers continued to wage war in the shadows of a peaceful planet...

A young girl and her kin would watch the coastlines, unaware of the future waiting for her, the destiny calling for her, laid out in a path marked as much by the hope that she would bring with the blood that would be spilt.

For better or worse, her path was set.

An encounter would be had, and a bond would be made...

And with it, the world would be changed forever.

So here we are, with another new story! This time, it's a Transformers/MHA crossover, of which I have called A Girl and her Car!

This has been a story that has been sitting in my head for a long time. Originally starting out as a simple idea in my Idea Pool, now I'm here, turning it into a full-fledged tale.

With some notable changes, of course. Suffice it to say, it's going to be pretty different to what I wrote before.

However, those aren't going to be the most noticeable differences. Suffice it to say, I am going to be doing things a lot differently than the average crossover, specifically the typical ones you'll find in MHA. There are a few trends in MHA's fanfic crossover catalogue that I'm sick and tired of, and I'd like to start changing things around a bit. You'll find out more about those in the next chapter.

(Let's just say, it's not going to be the typical hero vs villain/Autobot vs Decepticon struggle...)

Furthermore, while this story is going to be taking cues from all over the Transformers mythos in accordance with MHA, this is mainly going to be a G1 story. However, I am going to be pulling a lot of inspiration from all over Transformers, specifically the IDW comics, the Prime cartoon, and the War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron games. They're the Transformers media that I've grown up with, and they've been the ones to really influence how I see the series.

Combine that with some elements from Transformers One, Beast Wars and Beast Machines, the live action films (without the crappy Bayformer designs. Bumblebee and ROTB's designs are the only ones that I will give any measure of respect towards), and the Skybound comics, and I think we've got a good combo coming up.

I know that sounds like a lot, but trust me, there's a method to the madness.

To add onto this: this is going to be a strictly Transformers and MHA crossover. Bar a few references to some other Hasbro properties and some of Horikoshi's other works, we're going to be keeping it strictly to these two properties.

I will let you all know now, this story is going to get rather dark at points. Transformers is a war story at its core, after all. I'd be doing it a disservice if I didn't portray it with as much seriousness as I can afford. Don't worry, we're not going to be getting into any grimderp territory and being edgy for the sake of edgy, but...

Well, to all those who know me as a writer, you know how trigger-happy I am with my characters.

Also, I should probably mention now: romance is not going to be a major component in this story. In fact, I don't think it's going to really be a component at all. So no freaky derpy pairings here, thank you very much. I'd really not like to write about a human and a Cybertronian getting it on.

(Kiss Players isn't real Kiss Players isn't real Kiss Players isn't real KISS PLAYERS ISN'T REAL-)

And finally, please don't expect a consistent update schedule with this. I've got this chapter and two more written, and I'll release those in the next two weeks, but in-between writing an original novel and trying to find a job as I leave uni... yeah, there might be some long gaps between chapter uploads.

But, for those who decide to stick around, I sincerely hope that you enjoy the ride!

So, coming up, we've got themes of war and the consequences thereof, hope and despair, love and loss, the struggle to be good in the face of evil, the plight of family in a world out to get you, how good intentions can lead to the worst atrocities in history, how one's morality is subjective, how nothing is truly black and white, and how one can still be a good person when faced with the ugliness of the world.

It's going to be one hell of a ride.

Wait, that filter is for everyone? I thought it was just for the individual user.

Hang on a tick.

Edit: How's this?

Still grey not sure how you would fix it though

Well, I've changed the colours again. If this doesn't solve it, then nothing will.

Well I don't know what to do about that, my friend. This is my first time on this site and I'm doing this through a computer. Is it not something you can change on your side by going onto preferences and changing the site colours yourself?

As none of the other books I'm reading on this site have this problem I doubt it

Right, I've realised the problem: I was directly copying the text over from SpaceBattles, and that site uses white text on a black/blue background whereas QQ's default background is white. I didn't notice this because I changed my background on QQ because I didn't like the white background. It should be fixed now (hopefully).

Looks good to me
