*you've told him this before, your "dad" as you saw him anyways was also a captain! though to bad that definiton was never specified between the two of you. For maybe what was weeks now since you've met red blitz, you came around the same timing as blast trains sealing in the metal brace, only then did you meet, the relationship was pretty unsteady at first of course, something about being unsure of what'd you'd do around the place when they were gone after hearing jun and blue cop gave you permission to stay or go or visit around the repairshop a long while ago as in like- a few months, back when the "old crew" were still around. It still upset you that Jun's old metal brace was gone now and it required some explanation and well- plenty of irritation and annoyance around red blitz for the next few days, as in you'd think about visiting but then would leave upon seeing that small and familiar red frame, only really working together if needed and considering you weren't yet sealed you picked and chose when you wanted to unless it was an emergency. Otherwise though you stuck with another cardbot named glober, he said he was fine on his own but you followed anyways out of natural instinct, not that youd ever admit it to anyone anyways but your past captain was well- Blackhook, only jun and blue cop knew about this but with new bots coming in here and there it was never bothered to be explained especially when flame nova came around... Only then did you and red blitz find common ground, finding out his "dad" as he called him was a captain, and after that battle where jun lost his metal brace again giving it to peruru whom was shortly after kidnapped and so on, you still rarely talked but it progressed overtime, not being able to hold a grudge but just for a really long time til you said you also had a father figure and he was also a captain, from there it was just sort of you two finding out how to get along after what felt like forever for everyone.

BATTLE ON THE SPELLANZA SHIP

(for my fingers sake this is the part after jun announced the old crew was back and all that) you and red blitz held each other up, both worn and injuried but felt better as mega ambler used his ability to heal both crew old and new, you seemed surprised but at the same time you urged to find your own captain, looking around frantically til the battle started up again, red blitz spoke, tone elevated but curious as to why you were looking around.

"who are you looking for? do you know some cardbot from- he got cutt off though as you perked and that familiar chuckle sounded in your audials,-

"BLACKHOOK!"

was the first word that come out of your vocals, making red blitz almost freeze as Blackhook ship form rose from the edge of the spellanza and with buffalo crush and buster gallon as well, making an attack at flash vector and sparkbeat, dropping off the other two members letting them off to fight as he transformed and landed down on the spellanza, it was clear he heard his name be called cause when he landed his first sight he turned to was you. just for a quick moment a cheerful glint went in your optics as he approached, wanting to hug you and keep you close missing you but just gave you a pat on the shoulder sense this wasn't really a silent nor alone place "hows it going kiddo? not getting soft on me are ya?" *he teased, then lightly jabbed your side. as for red blitz well... it was best to say he was stunned seeing one of machina's most well-known outlaws here and now... *
