short gearshift au oneshot lmao

Summary:

i’m not writing longer on this

Notes:

gearshift is a small phighting au i made where phighters can turn their limbs to gears, it might sound simple but they can’t pushing their limit, otherwise it become permanent and forcing them to grow another limbs, all body parts work EXCEPT head due to their brain being located there

they must avoid having multiple limbs cuz it will overwhelm their brain and ended up losing memory and become a monster, Zuka almost got this but thankfully he stop using his gearshifting, if the mutated gearshifter stops abusing its limit, then they won’t likely to get memory loss, just need time to adapt with new limbs.

some doesn’t have this ability, so instead they just have instinct and skill set to made a gear they can use (e.g. rocket already know how to make rocket launcher gear), basically they’re just basic inphernal but no spawning gear from their hands, instead if it broke they fix it easily

zuka is mutated because in his past life he abuse his gearshift powers to the point the side effect is his gearshifted limb unable to revert back to normal, forcing him to grow more limbs (unless got permanently stuck again), and that also why he turn into half-spider

Work Text:

Sword visits Rocket who is more experience on gearshifting, however he been quit being gearshifter for a while, but his artificial arm and leg can “gearshift” but not gearshifting way, so it’s just.. prosthetic that have multiple kind of weapons, Sword want to know how to use his ultimate gearshift power : his phinisher, Rocket unsure since he never feel that during being a gearshifter, Sword’s wrist grows a sword, but still not using it’s true potential, his father Venomshank does it easily since he’s not just a deity, but a master gearshifter, allow him to spawn different weapons without being defected into permanent

 

“is there a way for me to get this true potential?” he asked, Rocket thinks and remembers Zuka could have a unused dummies to use, Sword accepts, as he calls Zuka, he comes in, this cause Sword shocked.

 

Zuka, he looks like half inphernal half spider body, and bunch of different bazooka shaped flesh on his legs, he used to be a powerful and reckless gearshifter, but because of abusing the shifting limit, he gets mutated and the effect is permanent, now he’s stuck like a half-monster for his entire life, however Rocket quits not because of him, rather he already lose it before he even met Zuka, “uhh.. hi Zuka..” Sword nervously said, he knew Venomshank is technically mutated, but it’s not permanent since deity ignores the side-effect regardless

 

“hey kid, you need some dummies to train right?” he asked, Sword nodded, he unshift his sword as Zuka crawls to find some dummies, after placing it on training zone, Sword tries to focus, he closes his eyes, unleashing his phinisher, as his horns glows, he shift his 2 arms into swords, glowing red, he slashes the dummies, and by magic, it detach from Sword’s arms, and it explodes, and the arms eventually regrows back, this was painful enough to use since phinisher are barely used unless emergency use, and overuse it could result actual death, “uhhh.. sorry for destroying your dummy…” Sword said in guilt, but Zuka seems okay with it cuz he knew it’s actually a regenerative dummy, so it went back to what it is, and Sword was amused with it, “you’re feel free to use kiddo.” he said as he crawl somewhere, Sword finally ready to learn to master his gearshifting

 

“Prepare yourself!”
