Lily fight club

>Stacy was walking along the alleys around the fight club, wanting to be out of the badly lit warehouse for a bit
>it was a safe territory, everyone knew the only police officers that came here did it for betting
>there was a few gangs but they knew better than to fuck around, it was comon knowledge that the illegally moded nandroids weren't first law compliant
>outmodes were getting bolder recently, but it's not like they came equipped with chainsaws or meathooks
>Stacy passed near a dumpster, and stopped, she could swear she heard crying.
>there it was, sounding like a little girl at that.
>she jumped on the dumpster and opened the lid, blinking in confusion
>it was a kid alright, but a nandroid, kind of like herself but if she wasn't retrofitted by a madman
>"uh... Hello there?"
>"shhh, hide, quick, they're coming !"
>"what are you-"
>the closest thing she had to instincts made her dive to the side, and a pincer missed her by a mile
>she landed with the grace of someone accustomed to fighting, facing the attacker
>it was a run down construction model, flanked by other, similarly run down androids
>"look at that boys, a second one, maybe we've hit jackpot today!"
>she just looked at them in bewilderment, she wasn't the most well known of the bunch but she was distinctive enough to expect to be recognized
>"do you fucks even know where you are?"
>"oooh, and with a potty mouth to boot! Well have to correct that!"
>there was a small 'eep' when the kid model peeked out of the dumpster, and Stacy turned that way. She never had to deal with enemies and protect someone else before, even in tag-team matches-
>spacing out cost her and she was grabbed, before being joined a second later by the other kid, just fished out of the dump
>"well well well, a moral support child model and... Some knock off garbage, oh well, we can still scrap you."
>"you really don't know what's going on around here, do you?"
>"we're making money!"
>Stacy's glare took a feral edge.
>"we'll see about that..."
>the other kid whimpered, but the construction bot's optics snapped to Stacy when she started shifting inside his grip
>"what are you-"
>"never heard of the fight club?"
>then her body opened into enormous jaws lined with spinning grinders
>there was a concerto of screams before she bit down on the fool's arm, crushing it in a single movement
>it was like biting into butter compared to that one time Shelly tried to cut her in two
>she spat out the thoroughly chewed limb, and let out a high pitched roar
>"let me give you a sneak peak!"
>she ran at the bot holding the kid, and the other tried to grab her, but she just closed her maw and skid along the ground, immediately reopening it to take a chunk out of his leg
>"you little shit!"
>the last outmode pulled out a gun and fired at her
>having faced against Rosemary and Trilby, it was insultingly easy to dodge, and she used the occasion to do a wall-jump, clamping her jaw on the entire upper torso of the 'bot handling the kid
>everyone froze, and she angled herself so her true head was facing the others
>"so what now, do you let us go, or do I kill your friend? You're so... Fragile"
>she upped the pressure and the captive bot whimpered
>there was a few tense seconds, the only movement being the child bot shaking in utter terror
>"o-okay, just... Release him! Please! We'll do whatever!"
>"you leave, and you tell any other idiot you find on your way out that this is the fight club's turf, nobody get scrapped out of the fighting pit."
>they nodes, but didn't move an inch
>"AND RELEASE THE CHILD YOU MORON"
>the kid was unceremoniously dropped, landing on her butt and crawling backward until she hit a wall
>Stacy disengaged from her victim, scraping him all the way and even ripping off some facial features
>they just stared at her and the cavernous shredder her body had turned into
>"what are you waiting for?! Scram!"
>they scrambled away in an haphazard sprint
>after being sure they were far, Stacy folded her maw back in, looking like a smol baby again.
>she walked to the only bot, but the kid tried to go backward at her approach, despite being against the wall
>"hey hey, I'm not going to hurt you!"
>she sat down a good meter away, looking at the still panicked machine with a tilted head
>"where are you from? I've never seen any other child like me before"
>the other mumbled something
>"okay yeah, not like me LIKE ME, but you know, small."
>"I-I'm an emotional support m-model, I think we're really new actually..."
>"emotional sup- what are you doing out alone?"
>then she started crying, it went off with a whimper but turned into full blown sobbing, even with tears
>some old subroutine from before her days as a gimmicky monster kicked in, and Stacy rushed to hug her
>it was an incredibly awkward affair, since Stacy was child sized too
>"shh, it's okay, you're not alone anymore, shh..."
>then she started singing a lullaby
>it was a good half an hour before the crying stopped, and here they were, rocking back and forth
>"it's alright sweetie, shh, I'm here, you're no alone.. "
>then it finally clicked in her mind that she was doing something incredibly strange, and she pulled back, still holding the other by the shoulders. She couldn't fight her compulsion to take care of a child, however mechanical it may be.
>"so, let's start again, I'm Stacy, what's your name?"
>the little bot wiped her tears
>"L-Lily"
>"nice to meet you! Do you want something? You've had a rough day, you deserve a treat."
>"i-ice cream would be nice"
>Stacy blanked out a few seconds trying to understand why a bot would want ice cream, but gave a smile and a nod
>"of course! I know just the place, here, take my hand, I won't let anyone hurt you."
>she helped Lily up, and both did a double take when they saw that Stacy was shorter by at least two inches
>Lily chuckled
>Stacy groaned a little, but grabbed her hand and started leading her around the streets
>she told her about all the others, what they did, and reassured her by explaining it wasn't to the death and that they were all friends out of the ring
>"like in the movies? The guys playing the bad guys are actually nice after the film end?"
>"yes, exactly! Some of them are scary but they're very nice! Just weird."
>they finally arrived at the local marketplace. The legal one.
>Stacy barged in, and went straight to the ice creams
>there was an awkward few seconds when they realized that none of them could reach the sugary prizes even if they were on each other's shoulders, so Stacy went to get the cashier
>"hey!"
>"what the- i swear I paid the protection money! Don't hurt me!"
>"protection mon- I'll have to talk with the boss... Anyway! I need an ice cream, and I'm too short. Uh... Help?"
>the clerck went with her, and Lily said she wanted a vanilla one
>transaction done, they walked out, and Stacy lead her to the main warehouse, while Lily was enjoying her frozen prize.
>once there Stacy showed her around before asking to see her best puppy dog eyes
>"uh? What for?"
>"just trust me."
>they walked in Stacy's master's designated room
>"boss, boss, look what I found!"
>"if it's another dog I'll-"
>he spotted Lily and blinked
>"can we keep her around? Please!"
>she looked up at him with the saddest eyes she could luster, and tugged at Lily's sleeve
>Lily joined in, and before the two absolutely adorable machine, he caved in
>"alright, alright! But she better help around, and I refuse to work on her for fighting. The administrator don't want any more munchkins in the pit."
>the two midget hugged with a high pitched squee


>Stacy did her best to hide Lily from the other fighters
>Lily thought it was because they would hurt her, and that she was lied to when Stacy told her they were all nice
>it just ended up with little Lily seated in the underground improvised kitchen, with a veritable feast in front of her and about a dozen of odd nandroids looking at her expectantly
>there was maybe five time her bodyweight in food on that poor table
>all the former nannies already melted inside when they saw her, but when they learned she could eat and taste...
>well, she was sampling everything, and her taste sampler never gave a signal under 10 out of 10
>then there was a hiccup
>she tried to swallow, but the mouthful of apple pie never went past her throat
>she had to fight to not have it go back up
>the modded nandroids could just stare in confused worry as the lump visibly went up and down in the little 'bot's neck
>it finally went down. But at what cost.
>Lily made a face, and Banshee briefly thought she fumbled her pie recipe
>and then everything went back up at once.
>Violently
>there was a wave of panic in the nandroid's rank, before Stacy screamed something at one of Ivy's faces
>Ivy grabbed Lily as gently as possible, then went full tilt through the door, blasting it off it's hinges and barely avoiding trampling some of their masters who came to investigate the meetup
>it was full pandemonium before the rest of the fighters gathered enough senses to follow after Ivy, leaving behind their confused and slightly scuffed masters
>this lead to now, in an underground bunker, with a scruffy man looking inside Lily's... well, insides, the small Android looking uncomfortable and not a little afraid
>the other nandroids were looking with apprehension
>"what is it doctor? Can it be repaired?"
>the doctor turned to their audience
>"I can't repair it-"
>"you will! OR I'LL-"
>"because there is nothing to repair! Good lord, let me talk! It's just a failsafe for if her stomach is overfilled. It's automatic and completely normal"
>they collectively sighed in relief
>but then a wrench bounced off Haley's forehead
>"what were you thinking, giving her so much food!? She can't eat that much! She's made for treats and a small meal, not a full blown buffet! Do you want her to burst or something?!"
>"we thought she could stop when she went too full!"
>"she' s a child model, if nobody tells her, she won't know a thing..."
>"not even her own functions?"
>"sadly. What good is having a kid if you're not going to explain things to them."
>Lily made a sad face and closed her belly
>Stacy jumped on the table and put a reassuring hand on hers
>"but she's going to be okay, right?"
>"oh yes, it was just her being too full and not knowing it, she's perfectly fine. Oh also, Trilby?"
>"sì?"
>"If you could stop aiming at me that'd be great."
>"Oh! My bad, force of habit."
>Everyone looked at her somewhat oddly as she stashed away her her gun with an embarrassed cough
>They stared at her like she grew a second head, but quickly went back to fuss over Lily a little more, a cooing horde of adorable monsters
>"Stacy."
>The baby-sized nandroid turned around and nearly jumped out of her chassis when the doctor's forehead collided with her own, with a loud THUNK
>hunched over like a puppet without strings, he stared right into her eyes, her field of view almost entirely taken over by his manic face
>"you are going to take care that this doesn't happen again, right?"
>"of course, I'm-"
>"basically her sister, almost her mom. You're far from the perfect environment for her, but you manage. Right?"
>she nodded nervously
>"good!"
>he straightened abruptly
>"Now, all you need to do is read her user manual and be sure to not do anything that would negatively impact her well-being!"
>Stacy blinked and just now registered she had a thick book in her hands, titled "how to care for your android child" with a picture of a smiling chibi nandroid on the cover
>she looked back up but he was already away, ruffling Lily's hair and telling her to be careful
>they said their goodbye, but Stacy couldn't help but notice an edge to the doctor's expression
>she said nothing of it, and they rode back to their base on Ivy's back like demented horse riders
>they had to explain it all to their masters, who immediately stopped arguing at the mention of the doctor
>... And they almost immediately went back to cooking, but not before giving a thorough read of the manual
>the public and announcers were a little confused when they called an all out brawl in the middle of the day, but they told nobody they did it to see who get to cook first, and nobody complained to an almost-free battle royale
>Lily never vomited again and always had a new dish to try
>Everyone was happy
>except the boss, but when a dozen of lethal abominations stare at you with visible annoyance, you shut up and let them to their business
