fic - Homestuck -- Battlefield Terra (1/?)

I was NOT looking to get a new multipart out of this.

And then someone posted a prompt that was basically Homestuck as a Super Robots show.

They wanted Evangelion or.. (pffff) combining rangerbots, so of course I went with Eva-ish for the trolls and Gundam-ish for the humans, because I'm mean that way and also inspiration impacting skulls at this speed really hurts. D;

Contains: John/Karkat, giant robots, space wars, disturbing organic tech (mm trolls), contrived excuses for fanservice :D, mentions of non-con (no actual non-con!).

He'd fought the red one before. It wasn't the best fighter, but it was cautious and smart, and it could hit both with the outer curve of its pincers like a club, and with the inside, serrated, metal-tearing blade on the inner curve. Hence why he'd never managed to smash it to death in one hit and why Roxy kept stealing the highest kill record from him; he wasn't fond of hard vacuum and explosive decompression, and after the last time it blocked his weapon in mid-swipe and slipped under his guard to shred up his cockpit he was in no hurry to rush it again. Vacuum was pretty unnerving when all you had left between it and you was one piddly helmet with fifteen minutes of oxygen.

"Warhammer to Base, Cancer broke through, in pursuit!"

It had never, ever rushed him before.
