Starcatcher Pico's Backstory

Haha, I'm typing these out instead of doing my assignments for finals. Oh well.

This has been the back of my mind since I started fantasizing the lore for FNF Starcatcher.

Once again, please support the creators of the mod, Kip and Stardust Tunes.

Oh. And uh... a little warning, this story will have major injury and an almost character death.

Without further ado, let's begin!

...

Whenever I see Cyber Pico's design from time to time, it made me think that he wasn't actually an alien, but rather, a human.

Think about a scene from "The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1" [And yes, it's one of my favorite films.] What I'm thinking is that, after the incident from Pico's School, Pico was being accused for the destruction of the school. Even though, we know he was the one saving it from further destruction. Pico didn't want to face something even worse than he had experience, so he ran and hid away from everybody.

During his fled, he got pull by an unknown gravity and ended him inside of a foreign room. Pico was quick to react and started a shoot-off against the weird aliens.

It was long, until eventually, all of Pico's ammo's had run out. One of the aliens was the first to speak in a language Pico never heard of and he responded with, "What?"

There was a lot of miscommunications from both sides, but later came to an understanding through body languages, a pretty universal language obviously. And both sides was able to sit down and explain themselves through showing images.

The people that abducted Pico was a group of mercenaries who travelled every planets and galaxies to hunt, steal, and even kill for money. And every once in a while, they would recruit any living being as one of them if they are deemed worthy.

For the mercenaries, Pico's a worthy one since they haven't seen any other beings fighting a different alien creature from their own, i.e Cassandra. Pico had a slight hesitation on whether to join them or not. But the thought of being away from the people accusing him of murder is a better choice for him.

And so, the life of becoming the new mercenary began. He would received a letter, whether it was anonymous or not, travelled through different planets alone or with a small group, and finished the job by meeting the client themselves.

It has become a part of Pico's life that he wouldn't trade it for anything.

But, this is where he began to lose his human self.

He was in the middle of a chase sequence with a group of friends from their heist, after one of them underestimate the security system. It turned out there were dozens of polices were chasing them.

They managed to get the item still in hand, but one of the police shot at Pico through his shoulder blade and his eye. And like a small grenade, it exploded with bits and pieces of him scattered before arriving at their small spaceship.

One of the group members piloted the ship and flew as fast as they could to bring them back home. Meanwhile the rest tried to cover up Pico's wounds with everything they have.

After the stressful ride, the group carried Pico to the infirmary and explained to the medics the damages Pico had.

It might've been hours of waiting and finally the news had just came out. The medics told them there was little to no hope Pico would survive that critical impact. There was one last option to save him and that was to turn him into a cybernetic human. In order for that to proceed, they need to ask the leader's approval.

Let's just say the leader agreed upon the operation, since Pico had proven himself to be the most skillful mercenary and it would be a waste for him to die so quickly.

Thankfully, the operation was a success and Pico had a new look and much more efficient performance than before. But those perks came with a price. He didn't feel the raw emotions he felt when he was fully human.

The excitement from receiving a new mission was now dull as if it was another daily task he had to follow. The thrill during and after the heist felt so cold and lifeless to him. It was as if he was machine and nothing else.

Even with all of that, there was still a spark of him that yearned to feel that way again.

This is where the "Week 3" began.

Pico had received an message from Daddy Dearest. He ordered Pico to retrieved a specific gem, known as "Cyber Star" hidden in the almost dead planet. [I dunno how to describe a planet lol.] Pico had to give the item before a certain blue haired kid steal it. The new Cyber Pico accepted the mission and headed to the location alone.

Pico managed to steal the gem and was readied to fly off when a familiar language he hadn't heard in forever rang. Boyfriend had showed up late with Girlfriend beside him.

Boyfriend tried to use the Beep language, but failed on a few words, which made him speak more English than he would like to Girlfriend. Pico interrupted the two conversation. "Hey, you. You're the kid my client was talking about." That got both Boyfriend and Girlfriend gave full attention towards him.

Somehow in the back of his mind, he wanted to do something different than his usual routine. With a cocky smirk he pulled out the gem and waved at them. "Looking for this?"

"That's the Cyber Star that we needed!" Boyfriend piped up. "Too bad you can't have it. Unless you want to fight for it." He pulled out his gun and aimed at Boyfriend. "W- Wait! Wait! Can't we do a different kind of fight instead?"

"Like what?" Now Pico was curious. "We'll do a rap battle! Or singing if you like that." That sentence had stunned him for a few seconds. It was when a microphone was tossed towards him that made him snap from his trance.

He was confused on what kind of battle was that. "If I win, I'll take the Cyber Star. If you win, you'll get to keep it." He still looked at Boyfriend in complete confusion. "Uh... I don't know how to rap nor sing."

At first Boyfriend was shocked, but later relaxed. "No worries. I'll show you how throughout the battle." Boyfriend explained the rules of the battle quickly and the countdown began.

I wanna say in details of what happened during the battle, but we all know that Boyfriend's gonna win. But at that time, Pico felt calm and happy from doing the non - violence battle. Heck, even in the second song where he had the longest turn, I see that he was feeling comfortable singing his part out loud.

Even Boyfriend didn't care if he did have fewer parts because from what he sees, Pico's having a great time without even worrying about if he loses or not.

At the end of the last song, Pico was exhausted but satisfied nevertheless. He handed the Cyber Star to Boyfriend and left with a quick goodbye.

================================================

I actually like how I switch to casual explaining the backstory into a semi - lit story. Not sure if y'all like. But whatever. It's already pass midnight and I'd like to have a snooze.

Thank you for those who have read this far.

Have a nice day / night!!
