The Bite that Stings

Space Riders AU - @onyxonline KoiRite - @lavendersartistry

This fic is another party fic for onyxonline's Space Riders AU, this time with shenanigans! Check out this POV for context! Please check Onyx out, their work is super cool!

The soft, formal music by the orchestra felt like torture to Hoppy's eardrums. It was too quiet, too nice. Hoppy needed something... something exciting.

She looked around the ballroom, making quick observations.

Kickin and Bobby were off dancing.

Bubba was off mingling, as per usual.

Picky was near the buffet table.

Crafty, Koi, and Z were by the drink table.

So many options to go do to distract herself but none seemed worth it. Hoppy thought about going to find where DogDay and CatNap were, but that felt like a bit of too much effort.

Unless DogDay was hiding because Z was with everyone, and in a suit. Then a light bulb went off in Hoppy's mind.

It was only 10:55. By 11:00, the party would go into a full swing of partnered dances. If Hoppy could get DogDay and Z to meet around that time, they would be able to spend time together.

Hoppy headed out the doors to find DogDay and CatNap, running down the hallways to find the duo.

She had eventually found them in one of the lounge rooms, DogDay plopped on the sofa while CatNap tried getting him off. It seemed the two were arguing.

"I'm not heading out there!"

'It's only a dance. Stop being a gay in denial and talk to him.'

"HEY-"

Hoppy snickered and walked over to the two.

"Trying to pair up DogDay and Z for the upcoming dance too?"

CatNap calmly nodded as DogDay groaned under the sofa's cushions, turning his head to face the two.

"I can't do it! I'll freeze up before even trying to ask for a dance!"

Hoppy sat on the sofa, next to DogDay's head and poked his cheek.

"It's now or never, captain. One chance to dance with your crush. You just gotta do it!"

CatNap nodded at Hoppy's words, which made DogDay sigh. She was right, this was the one chance he and Z could spend time together for just one night.

DogDay sat up and heavily sighed, nodding.

"You're right. I have to do this. Let's go."

Hoppy cheered as DogDay got up from the sofa, taking a deep breath before heading out of the lounge room. Hoppy and CatNap followed suit, ready to watch everything go down.

---------------

Z glanced up at the time. 10:59. Only a minute left till the partnered dances. He crossed his arms, leaning back to the wall.

"Are you alright?"

Z turned his head, noting Crafty's concern for him. He simply sighed and turned his head away.

"Almost 11. That partnered dance is a minute away. Not looking forward to ladies clamoring over for a dance."

Koi, hearing everything, lightly laughed as she sipped her third glass of wine.

"Why not ask DogDay for a dance? I'm sure he wouldn't mind that."

Z looked towards Koi's direction, then sighed.

"That's... not a bad idea, I suppose. Also, how are you not drunk yet?"

"High alcohol tolerance."

Z mumbled a "uh huh" before glancing at the time again. 11 pm. The dance was starting.

As if on cue, Z felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around.

DogDay.

Z took this as a sign. He lightly bowed, gaze at DogDay.

"May I have this dance, captain?"

DogDay blushed at Z's gesture but nodded, putting his hand in Z's.

---------------

CatNap was looking at something for far too long, his tail swaying under his feet. He was frowning at something, something bad.

"Yo, CatNap! You okay, buddy?"

CatNap glanced over at Hoppy.

'I can't tell if it's a drunk or someone genuinely being rude.'

"What do you mean- ohhhhh."

Hoppy leaned her head over to see what CatNap was referring to, now knowing what he meant.

"Get Koi to handle it?"

'Yep.'

"Instigate for a fight?"

'Totally.'

Like gremlins, CatNap and Hoppy heading over to Koi who was by the corner with Z, Crafty, and DogDay.

DogDay immediately noticed the smug faces, knowing they were going to start something.

"What are you two up to this time?"

Hoppy dramatically shrugged, holding back her laughs.

"Oh, nothing. It's just there's some jerk that's being a bit of an ass to some girls. Dunno if he's just drunk or not."

CRACK

The sound of glass nearly breaking alarmed DogDay, turning over to Koi.

Her expression darkened as she clutched the glass tightly, muscles lightly flexing under her sleeves.

DogDay quickly looked away, trying not to stare. Koi, on the other hand, looked straight at CatNap.

"What tie?"

'Light blue tie.'

Koi stood up, carefully putting the glass in her hand down on a nearby table before pulling off her tie and wrapping it around her right hand.

"I'll take care of it."

As Koi walked off, DogDay was panicking.

"Wait, Koi, don't! Guys, why?! We don't need this tonight!"

Z shrugged and leaned back.

"But it makes the night more entertaining."

DogDay facepalmed.

"You're not helping!"

---------------

Koi, despite her anger, calmly walked to the scene Hoppy described. She took a notice of the poor ladies and rude jackass by the door. In a quick motion, Koi forcefully grabbed the guy by the back of his hair, keeping her gaze to the ladies.

"Apologies, but I would like you three to leave. This will be taken care of, I assure you, but I wouldn't want to frighten you."

Due to Koi's appearance, many believed she was a man with a cold and protective demeanor rather than a woman. The ladies instantly blushed and walked away, whispering to each other.

Koi made sure they were far away before pulling the guy's head back further before slamming his head into the ground, making the ground shake a little.

A few Space Riders ran over, including Hoppy and CatNap. Hoppy cheered at the scene.

"Go Koi, go! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!"

---------------

"So. Koi, huh?"

Crafty snapped out of her flustered state and lightly glared at Z.

"Shut up!"

The Peacock and the Panther

Space Riders AU - @onyxonline KoiRite - @lavendersartistry

This fic is another promised fan episode for onyxonline's Space Riders AU! This is mainly centered as a moment between CraftyCorn and my OC KoiRite! Please check Onyx out, their work is super cool!

The afternoon calmed Crafty's nerves as she was on the way to meet Koi in her palace. She wasn't expecting an invitation from her of all things, especially after that one party a few weeks back. Still, she kept her head high and did her best to stay calm.

A laugh rang out as Crafty entered the courtyard, Koi watching her from afar.

"Are you trying to greet the ancestors? I hate to disappoint but, that's not how we do it."

Crafty became embarrassed and looked down, a blush coming along her cheeks.

"S-Sorry! I'm just.. well, nervous being here."

The warrior princess tilted her head as her tail flicked behind her body. With careful steps, she went closer to the unicorn.

"Is this about the party?"

Crafty sighed and lowly nodded, making Koi groan in annoyance, facepalming.

"Hey, listen. You did the right thing to stop that guy. I wasn't expecting you to start a fight like that."

Koi looked back at the unicorn and then scoffed. She should have fought him outside the vicinity of the others.

"If I knew you would be frightened of me, then I would have handled everything differently."

Crafty quietly placed a hand on Koi's shoulder, as if to try to assure her. She knew Koi's intentions were pure and knew how annoyed she could be when it came to people either not doing their job to protect others or people causing others to feel uncomfortable.

"Koi, it's alright. I wasn't frightened. You're a good person with a good heart, don't let what happened that night make you think like that."

Koi softly smiled and placed her hand over Crafty's, pulling it away from her shoulder and close to her face.

"Alright then, Peacock. I trust you."

The unicorn immediately blushed and looked away with a soft huff.

"A peacock? What are you talking about?"

The panther smirked and grabbed Crafty's chin to have her look at him.

"Peacocks are symbols of many. But for you, it's your beauty and confidence. I won't call you a diamond in a dozen but more of a rare jewel. Everything about you is interesting to me."

She suddenly leaned closer.

"Unless calling you princess is more your style?"

You Love Them, Don't You?

Space Riders AU - @onyxonline KoiRite - @lavendersartistry

This fic is for onyxonline's Space Riders AU, this time with shenanigans in KoiRite's planet Imbeko! This fic is mainly centered around Onyx's OC Z and my OC, KoiRite! Please check Onyx out, their work is super cool!

Bhekumbuso, a raging province of Imbeko and home to the panthers. The state for improvement of one's values and goals; the leader.

As welcoming as it was, a particular masked tuxedo cat kept to himself for the time being. Z stayed in the shadows as he observed the servants at work within the palace. He took in the sites, the interior of the whole place.

"Enjoying yourself, Tux?"

Z suddenly turned his head, his own helmet meeting Koi's. Then down to her attire. He crossed his arms, lightly scoffing.

"Coming back from a mission, Warrior?"

Koi let her helmet disappear at silent command, the rose gold fangs framing her face once the protective material dissolved. She tilted her neck as the bones quietly cracked.

"Unfortunately. I apologize I wasn't at the entrance to give you a tour of Bhekumbuso. I hope my brothers weren't a handful."

Z shrugged, nodding off her apology.

"They were alright, nothing too bad. But about a tour of the palace-"

"Hold on there."

Koi handed him a shawl with embroidered patterns of Imbeko's mythological creatures. She lightly patted his shoulder with a small chuckle.

"Mother would scold me if you weren't given the guest shawl when you came. It's yours to keep if you want."

Z nodded, taking a look back at the detail. Koi smirked and walked off, starting off the tour of the palace.

-------------------------------

"So, you and Solaris?"

Z turned his head to Koi as the two were out in the garden, the visor on his helmet making a confused expression.

"What do you mean?"

Koi glanced his way with a soft smirk and leaned back against a savannah tree.

"I've seen it, the times you fall secretly for him."

Z turned his head away, sighing heavily as he rested his head on his closed fist. He didn't think it wouldn't be possible.

"It can't happen. I've done things... and I don't think it wouldn't be possible for us.."

Koi raised a eyebrow then placed her hand on his shoulder.

"You underestimate DogDay. He understands you, cares for you. Who says it's not possible for you two?"

Z's ears on his helmet pinned down to his head, showing his fear.

"Koi, I-"

"You love him, don't you? Then try. Try to let yourself see that everyone is right here for you. Even him."

Z then went silent to Koi's assuring words. Then he nodded.

He just has to try.
