The Wonderful World of Chibis

The Wonderful World of Chibis . . .

Author’s Note: Chibis . . . cute . . . Beast Wars Chibis . . . *sighs* Aah . . . heavenly . . . Anyone who wants to continue this story can, and with my permission, as long as you send it in to Sapphire, here at this site! Thanks!

Sinead blinked, and then looked at the small character glaring up at her from the floor. She looked up at the author sitting across from her, then back at the one character that was looking up at her. “Okay, Mr. Hasbro Representative, we are supposed to do what now?”

He grinned, and replied, “Of course, you will be paid . . .”

“What. Are. We. Doing.”

“Keeping these Beast Warriors in check, of course.”

Miss Special snorted. “Suuuurrrreee. Like these are the Beast Warriors. Okay, I’m-”

Sinead blinked, then noticed a small character standing valiantly beside his leader. She stood, walked over, then crouched in front of the foot-tall leader, peering around him, to see the slightly-shorter bot beside him. “Hey, before you can finish that, come here.”

“Why?”

“You like fire, right?”

An evil laugh emitted from the author.

“I’ll take that as a ‘yes.’ Come here. Look at ’im! I don’t even like bugs, but . . . he’s cute.”

“INFERNO!!!”

Sinead got out of the way, managing not to step on anyone, while returning to her seat. For the moment, only she and Miss Special were here. Mister Hasbro Representative was talking again.

“- so of course you’ll have full benefits, and will suffer no liabilities -”

Sinead tuned him out again, looking down at the Chibi Dinobot. He wasn’t super-deformed, like the anime chibis generally were, but instead, an exact miniature of his normal size. He drew his sword fiercely, when she sat in front of him, and leaned closer. “Hey, Mr. Rep . . . ?”

“- Sapphire has Rattrap, Sinead, you have Dinobot, Miss Special, you have Inferno, Starath has Megatron, Sharpshot has Airazor, Skyfire has Waspinator -”

Miss Special and Sinead tuned out again, each looking at the chibi-ized versions of their favorite characters. Dinobot blinked, and Rattrap came over, looking at Sinead. “Uh . . . whassa deal with dat guy? And who are all dese people he’s mentioning?”

Sinead tore her gaze away from Dinobot, only to see Rattrap picked up and squeezed in a hug that would have killed a lesser . . . er . . . bot. Sinead looked up at the author. “Sapph?”

“Uh-huh!”

“Rattrap’s turning, uh, green.”

She blinked, then loosened her grip slightly, only to kiss his head. “Isn’t he so adorable?”

Sinead grinned. “They all are, when they’re this tiny. If they were larger . . . uh . . . I’d have to find some form of defense from them.”

A shadow leaped over Sinead, and would have stepped upon Dinobot, had she not swept him out of the way, and up into her arms. He struggled, and she set him upon her shoulder, not even looking at him. She knew that he still had his sword in hand, and probably wasn’t afraid to use it.

Starath skidded to a halt in front of the Chibi Megatron, who was blinking. “Uh . . . ah! State your, uh, faction! Yesss . . .”

“Anything you are!!!” She patted his head, giggled, then promptly picked him up and kissed his head. “You’re adorable!”

“. . .”

Sharpshot and Lord Skyfire laughed from the doorway. The representative indicated two different Chibis. “Lord Skyfire, you have Waspinator; Sharpshot, you have Airazor.”

Sharpshot crouched down to smile warmly at the falcon, causing her to smile shyly in return. Lord Skyfire, however, tripped on his way over to Waspinator, but managed not to fall on the often-slagged bot. Waspinator found this highly amusing, and the Lord Skyfire blinked. “What?!”

Sinead chuckled, and said, “I love the entrance, Skyfire.”

“Humph. Not everyone’s perfect, you know.”

“Ah, thou art a teasing braggart, milord. ’Tis pleasure mine, to be seeing thee.”

Dinobot blinked, and spoke, shocking everyone into silence. “Shakespearean English?”

Bluntly put, his voice wasn’t as Chibi as the rest of him. Sinead blinked, hit her forehead, and mumbled, “We’re forced to read Macbeth. Romeo and Juliet before that, and Julius Caesar between them. It’s unfortunate. Everyone says that they’re wonderful plays, but . . . I don’t see it.”

He shrugged, then looked over to where Starath was still hugging Megatron. He broke into evil laughter, at the sight of the tyrant’s face. Sinead shook her head.

A dual squeal of pure glee broke through the air, and everyone stopped what they were doing, to look at the two newest arrivals. Neither looked nor seemed to listen to the Hasbro Representative, as they ran over to Optimus and Rhinox, each lifting one up. Sapphire still had Rattrap pressed close to her cheek, as she watched Pacerpaw coo over Rhinox. The technician was looking at the older author oddly, until he looked over to Optimus.

Starath had ran over to Nurannoniel, and the two were hugging each other, laughing giddily. Optimus and Megatron were squished between them, each not trying to look too disgusted at being hugged between two ecstatic authors . . . but neither were really mastering the straight face.

Rattrap was laughing too hard to notice that Sapphire had kissed him again. To be truthful, everyone was laughing pretty hard. Lord Skyfire called over, “So, what’s the deal, hm? Do I see a marriage in your future?”

Each held up their Beast Warrior chibis, and said, “To him!”

Sharpshot dissolved into “manly” giggles at the sight on the Predacon and Maximal leaders. Meanwhile, the two leaders glanced at each other, disbelief and shock written all over their faces. Silverbolt was blinking in confusion, as was Cheetor, Tigatron, Depth Charge, Scorpinok, Terrorsaur, Tarantulus, Blackarachnia, and Quickstrike. The Hasbro Representative stood, gaining temporary attention once more. “Those who have authors can return to your own size, by their will only. As for those of you who are ‘orphaned,’ shall we say, you will be taken care of by the general population. Until an author comes, you shall have to remain in Chibi form, until adopted. Authors, your rooms are assigned, and you will have everything that you need. Your first paycheck will arrive within three days. Security will come, if you need it, so enjoy your summer!”

He left in a poof of smoke.

“Okay. That was odd,” Miss Special commented, managing to pull the flamethrower away from Inferno, while holding him under one arm. She blinked down at him, as he struggled to try to get it back. She took pity, and handed it back, causing a rather uncharacteristic coo from the fire-ant.

Sapphire sighed. “From what I saw, there aren’t any rooms here that work out as living space.”

Sinead smiled, and shook her head. “Miss Special was here before me, but I think that I know of a wing that is specifically bedrooms.”

As they headed over, Sapphire blinked to the Chibi nestled within her arms, and said, “I guess I wish he was his regular size.”

Sharpshot had turned to laugh, and agree, when he saw Rattrap go *poof* and whoosh! There was a regular-sized Rattrap, his full five-foot, six-inch height. “Bam. That’s, uh, a little disturbing.”

“What is?” came a chorus.

An evil, female chuckle came up, and soon there was a regular-sized Dinobot around. Sinead wrapped her arms around his waist. “I’m happy now.”

“And I thought that the Vermin was odd . . .”

There was only a happy giggle in reply.

That was a long night.
