Deckard's Past Life (A Brave Police/Transformers Crossover)

Deckard Meets Carnyx

We've all been waiting for this, Deckard finally meeting Carnyx!

It wasn't long before the black Comanche was spotted again, this time flying through a restricted airspace at unnatural speeds, three days after its first sighting.

Since that day, Deckard's dreams had been....... strange. Stranger than normal. For the past few weeks, Deckard had grown accustomed to going into recharge, waking up in the dream-life of Flightdeck, then waking up in his own world and the cycle would repeat.

The last three days, however, ever since the last dream with that red mech (what was his name again? Hot Rod?), his normally fully lucid dreams had become mere figments, a small flash of something here and there, as though he were drifting in and out of consciousness.

He could feel very little of his dreams now, his body in the dream sluggish and heavy, like a human would feel when they were drugged. And what was even more strange was when Shadowmaru reported the sighting of the strange Comanche, Deckard felt that same hopeful feeling again, and still, he wondered why.

His emotions were pushed aside when he and Shadowmaru arrived at the airport where the Comanche had been spotted, the pair briefly speaking with the pilot who had spotted it before taking off in the direction it had gone.

"What are we hoping to find here, danna?" Shadowmaru's smooth voice asked over the comms, the cobalt detective carefully considered his next words so that the ninja wouldn't become suspicious.

"I'm not sure, but this helicopter does remind me of something."

The violet jet hummed before continuing his radio silence, content with his master's reply and knowing not to pry. Soon, the silence was shattered by a beeping from Shadowmaru's console, his sensors had found the helicopter.

"Allow me to check it out first, danna, it appears to still be airborne." Deckard called out his confirmation and the ninja flew off before the cop could blink. He slowed to a halt and transformed, pulling his gun and carefully making his way towards Shadowmaru's position, coming up to a low mountain.

Once he got there, however, the jet was nowhere to be found. The only sign that the ninja had been there were both of his katanas jammed into the rock of the mountain. There were no other signs of anything, from either Shadowmaru or from whatever had gotten him, which put the Brave Detective on alert.

The only things that had been able to actually take out the Ninja Detective before were the Chieftains, and every one of them had been tracked down, all of them having fallen offline soon after the defeat of Eva and Neuva Fahrzeug.

Deckard, after glancing around him for some time, quietly sheathed his pistol and retrieved the two katanas, but not without some difficulty, as they were jammed quite far. Whoever had done this was very strong.

With both katanas acquired, Deckard carefully set them in his subspace and took out his gun once more, still looking around. A sound came from behind him and the quiet whine of a blaster made the blue mech stiffen.

"Weapons down and hands on your head, unless you wish to end up like your purple friend." An achingly familiar voice, robotic with recorded undertones but still fraught with emotion, was what caused Deckard to slowly bend down to place his gun at his feet before straightening and turning around to see who was speaking to him.

There, scuffed obsidian armor dazzling in the sunlight that peeped through the forest foliage, was Carnyx, alive and outside of his dreams, and just as beautiful. Her arm was transformed into a sonic weapon he remembered seeing her practise with once, her face was marred with a snarl, and her angular red visor broken, revealing one blood-red optic, an even darker shade than that of her visor.

She showed her fangs at the detective, and snarled out, "Who are you and why are you after me?" Deckard looked her in the eye and spoke with easy rigidry and confidence.

"I am Detective Deckard of the Nanagamri Brave Police." She didn't seem impressed but her face (what he could see of it) became confused when she looked at him further. In Carnyx's mind, she knew that she'd seen this strange, human-built mech before. She lowered her blaster and gestured to the east.

"Your friend's in a cave a few meters that way, he's unharmed, just knocked out." Deckard nodded and picked up his pistol, watching as she transformed her blaster back into her arm and stepped out further.

Her frame had changed from when he'd seen her in his dreams, as he had no doubt that this was indeed Carnyx, having taken on an Earth form to replace her Cybertronian one.

"Thank you, and I assure you, we're not here to hurt you, we just wanted to thank you for your help." Carnyx's exposed optic looked his way.

"Felt like the right thing to do," was all she had to say before she suddenly stopped and looked at him funny. The air suddenly became tense, as the two examined each other, Deckard knowing who she was and Carnyx trying to understand what was familiar about this mech.

Glancing at the mountain that now rose at his back, Deckard's audial fins twitched in his nervousness and Carnyx stopped. She had felt his apprehension, and knew of only one mech who twitched their audial fins like that. She couldn't believe it.

"Mighty Amalgamous, is it true?" she whispered, reaching out a clawed servo towards Deckard's face, the detective stock still, wondering what she was seeing. Her optic found his, and the tense air was shattered with a simple, disbelieving whisper. "Flightdeck?"

BANG!

Off went Deckard's gun, and Carnyx recoiled violently, her hand clutching her bleeding hip, where the bullet had gone into.

The Brave Detective scrambled backwards and transformed, racing towards the cave once he pulled up his maps, finding it quickly. Once inside, he found Shadowmaru and roused him, the ninja wincing at a small dent in his helm where Carnyx had gotten him.

The pair made it out of the cave and both drove off towards the airport again, the violet mech close to Deckard's bumper the whole way. Reaching the airport, both transformed again and radioed for the J-Roader, since it was not safe for Shadowmaru to fly in his condition.

The truck arrived and the ninja was loaded up, resting in his canine form while Deckard took his place in front of the J-Roader, making their way back to the base. A small part of his mind asked, "What will Carnyx do now?"

So, the word danna in Japanese actually translates to "(someone's) husband", not master. But since the Japanese have no actual word for master that I can find, I decided to stick with Shadowmaru's nickname for Deckard since it's the only thing I can hear him calling Deckard. Also, yes, Carnyx got shot, we'll see why in the next few chapters.

But yeah, Deckard finally met his pastlife wife in his current time, but what do you think the fading dreams mean? Pls leave your thoughts in the comments, I'd love to read them, and have a great day/night!
