“Snaky waky, welcome to my live stream! Are everyone ready for some mech combat!?”
Snaky welcomes his viewers with an energetic word. The viewer floods in and stabilizes around 10K which is not bad on a planetary scale. The chat floods with greetings and Snaky recognizes some of them.
“How have you been?”
The chatter answers him differently and Snaky reads some of the floating text.
[You got your license back!?]
One of the chatter calls him out. Last time they saw him his license got confiscated live on stream.
“Yes, I got it back! it's no big deal!.”
[Really? Where did you get it?]
“It’s a secret!” Snaky said with a cheeky voice “Anyways today I got a special request to try out a brand new mech and to make a spicier I put up a donation goal, If we reach 5K Gibs donation I would go into the rank game with a blindfold on!”
Stotik154: Oh yeah! let gooooooo
Snakybeliver: This is why you’re not gold
Kittykate: Snaky is going blindy
[You just got a 50 Gibs donation from BronzySnaky with a message: I wanna see you reach bronze]
Snaky read the response and smiled, it’s going well so far, Now he has to unveil the mech that he has to use for today. Truthfully he didn’t even see what he had to work with, he just came up with this idea on the fly.
He typed the [Weird arm] into the search bar and hundreds of results came up. Then he searched by Name and found The mech that he had to Buy. It’s a medium sword mech that has a pistol side arms. His first impression was not good, since it’s a mech made from basic parts that Iron Body gives out for free. Usually, someone just wants to be quirky and make something weird out of the basic parts, and ends up worse than the original Iron body mech.
And the iron body mech has low flexibility when it comes to modification. So Snaky didn’t expect much and brought it since he was recommended by Danny's friend. After he brought it the mech materialized into his warehouse.
“Here’s the mech I’ll be using today! it’s called [Weird arms]!”
Stotik154: Lame~
Hamherback: Are those iron body, parts? This is just some kid's project, isn’t it?
BronzySnaky: Woah, I didn’t think you wanted to reach Bronze that bad.
“Calm down chat! I have been recommended by my friend so this one is most likely not an amateur project.”
Snaky is speaking out of his ass here since he didn’t want them to shit on Danny's friend creation. What if they’re watching him!? It would be bad if he had a falling out with Danny’ because of this. Snaky wouldn’t risk anything!
“Let's check it spec then”
[Weird arms]
[Medium weight mech]
[A mech made with Iron body series, parts. Aim to fill in the same niche as Iron Body: swordplay. Its main gimmick is its arms that could bend all the way backward giving you freedom of movement.]
[Battery life 4 hours]
[Mobility: good]
[Close range: Good]
[Medie range: Mediocore]
[Long Range: Mediocre]
Snaky looked at the stats in silence, it was not something exceptional, it was mid at best if they were to ask him now.
Stotik154: Wow what a midtown of a mech
Snakybeliver: Boring~ just go back to using the unicorn wap wap
BronzySnaky: Bronze bronze bronze!
“Haha, guys don’t judge a book by its cover!” Snaky smiles dryly “Let's check out the pilot room first!”
Stotik154: He sold out!
Kittykate: Sanky is falling off!?
Snakybeliver: This mech is pure garbage
“Knock it off, guys!” Snaky opens the mech to see the pilot's room and he looks quite surprised. The pilot ea is rather well, designed. Much better than the other parts of this mech at least.
“See guy! The inside is nice!”
[Brah it’s gonna control like crap]
[Snaky sold out! we need to boycott him]
“Let me take it for a ride then. What do you guys think? A 1v1 rank game?”
Stotik154: Yes!
Kittykate: We will miss you on silver
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
“Syncing with the pilot… 72%...”
“Searching for an opponent… match!”
“Game will start in 3”
“2”
“1”
The warehouse disappears into the desolate land of a moon. Snaky immediately realizes that he will be at a major disadvantage on this map since there’s little to no cover. The moon is made up of pure white material and some craters, the best he could hide in them.
Snaky used the camera to zoom in and find his opponent, luckily it didn’t take long. His opponent is a light mech who looks like an electromagnetic sniper. A “wasp built” as the imperial called it. They move very fast and hit very hard, in exchange their frame is easy to snap in half.
“Oh no, a wasps build”
Stotik154: Wow, you’re really unlucky Snaky!
BronzySnaky: Bronze is calling for you
He cursed his luck, if he got a close-range or a medium range mech, Snaky would be fine but a long range mech that could move fast was the worst combination for him right now. Snaky didn’t waste any time to close in on his opponent, best scenario for him is to get into his laser sword range, or at least a throwable range.
The light mech also notices an approaching chunk of metal. Its engine fired up and its front thruster threw it backward. The electromagnetic gun charges up, it would take a bit of time before it could deliver a blow so it would like to maintain its distance.
Snaky couldn’t close in the distance since his mech was a medium with much more weight than a light mech. Snaky grits his teeth and pre dodges an incoming shot. The electromagnetic gun already finished charging up and the light mech didn’t waste any time. a shot fired into [Wierd's arm] direction. Snaky narrowly dodges it and continues to press forward.
Snaky and the light mech both knew that the medium battery would outlast the light mech. The battle is to see if Snaky can dodge all the bullets that the light mech shot at him or fall first.
A ground dust as the mech passes through, and the chase continues around the moon. Both mechs are now taking some risks, Snaky is playing dodgeball while the light mech is playing target practice. So far Snakey is doing better than expected, the shot that the light mech can land so far is not critical, it could only chip away at the [Weird arm] armor.
Stotik154: Boring~
Snakybeliver: Wasp is so boring~
“Sorry guys just wait a bit. I almost got him”
Stotik154: Sure~
Finally, the light mech is slowing down. Its energy could not keep up this speed, otherwise it would run out of energy before it could kill Snaky. It will now bet on Snaky messing up the close combat.
They both knew that this fight would decide the match. The medium mech moves into a medium range for the first time.
Bam!
A magnetic shot glazes Snaky's shoulder and he quickly trades a pistol shot. It makes a hole through the light mech legs, throwing it slightly off balance. Snaky didn’t get off easy either, the shot is more accurate than a long range shot and eats a big chunk of his shoulder armor. Now the joint is in a vulnerable spot.
“Take that! Now that we have his legs, we will go straight for the head! It’ll be GG”
Stotik154: Bah waste of time, you’re not gonna get close
Snakybeliver: What are the wasp builds doing? Silver player moment
BronzySnaky: No… Bronze rank?
With the light mech off balance, Snaky successfully closes in on the light build and his sword hums to power. The light flashed across the light mech, trying to split it apart but the only thing that it hit was a void of space. The light mech thruster is working overtime. It flew over Snaky and charged up another shot.
BAM!
To the surprise of a light mech, the medium didn’t die from the shot. But it was the magnetic gun that exploded. The shock from the explosion meld together with the shock that he hasn’t won the match.
“That the [weird arm]!!!” Snaky exclaim in excitement “HAHAAHAH”
Stotik154: Oh my Stars! That gimmick work!?
Hamherback: Let goooooooooooooo
Kittykate: The [weird arm] is so good!
Snakybeliver: Stop the cap, you guys didn’t believe in it. Meanwhile, I could see this from the beginning.
Stotik154: You’re capping too!
The magnetic gun exploded because the medium mech bent his right hand to the point that it went backward into the gun. Truthfully, Snaky doesn’t even expect it to work, he prays for the machine god at that moment and it answers him.
The [weird arms] despite its selling point being the bent backward arm, has no back camera. Thus you have to know where your opponent went to capitalize on the weird arm gimmick. This is a fatal flaw of the weird arm and Snaky discovers it in the middle of the battle where it matters most!
Luckily it played out alright, the best outcome was to slice the light mech arm clean off but he couldn’t complain. When the light mech gun exploded, it blew off both Snaky and Light mech arms with the latter getting a worse deal. The light mech is much more fragile than a medium, and an explosion to the arm could easily kill the mech. Luckily it survived.
While the chat was going wild, Snaky went to take advantage of the opponent's surprise. The Iron Body didn’t declare the winner so Snaky knew his job wasn’t finished. The [Weird arm] turns backward and fires the pistol that remains in its left hand.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The shot all landed but just shy of the pilot. This made Snaky furious, he could finish the match right there but this shitty mech didn’t have a thing that most mech would have.
“FICKING ass with no aiming assistance!”
Stotik154: lol can’t even use a real weapon
Hamherback: Boohoo, maybe git gud?
Snaky glimpse at the chat made him more furious, he ditched the pistol and drew another sword out of his torso. The weird arm outfit with 4 of those and he had 2 more to spare. He rushed at the light mech trying to finish it off but the light wouldn’t die easily.
It uses its remaining energy to activate a thruster getting away from Snaky, the sword slash misses the pesky mech by an inch. However, the light mech also made a blunder, it only had one left thruster from the explosion and it flew in a circle back to Snaky.
“Got your ass!”
The sword slices the light mech clean off.
“Match End, Snaky victory”
“HAHAHAHA” Snaky exploded with a pent up emotion “Suck it you wasp piece of shit!”
Stotik154: Major missed play by the wasp, couldn't be me
Hamherback: The wasp sucks ass
Snakybeliver: WDYM Snaky is clearly better!
“Don’t argue kids!” Snaky saw a perfect opportunity! “This is because of [Weird arm] gimmick that I was able to surprise my opponent!.”
Snakybeliver: Sell out!
Stotik154: You just got carried by a weird mech
Hamherback: you just got lucky
[You just got a 100 Gibs donation from Snakybeliver with a message: I always believe in you Snaky]
Snaky smiled and opened up his direct message waiting for Danny's friend's evaluation but it never came.
Bummer
He put on all the shows for nothing. No matter, he still didn’t get enough donations so he would continue to use this mech. Plus, it's weirdly fun when you’re winning with this [weird arm]
Snaky managed to win 7 matches and lost 4 and most of them were a surprise win because of the weird arm of the mech. Although he quickly lost his blindfolded match.
