[Tournament - The Boonta Gauntlet - Titan Thunder] [RM - J8 - Dorin] - Stormfeather

Most competitors in Titan Thunder arrive with reputations forged in warzones, scrapyards, or the underbellies of Outer Rim shipwright guilds. The Red Moons arrived with a Porg.

K‑33 — called Kreeb by anyone brave enough to get close — wasn’t born cybernetic. He was rebuilt after an ill‑advised attempt to nest inside a starfighter’s open intake manifold. The Red Moons’ engineers, equal parts compassionate and unhinged, replaced what they could, enhanced what they couldn’t, and gave him a mech that matched his new temperament: loud, fast, and catastrophically enthusiastic.

The mech, nicknamed Stormfeather, is a walking contradiction — a towering slab of armor guided by a pilot who weighs less than its emergency ration pack. But Kreeb’s neural uplink is flawless, and his reflexes are terrifying. The overclocked plasma torch? He treats it like a toy. The multi-barrel scatter cannon? He fires it with the delighted chirps of someone discovering a new kind of snack.

Spectators laugh at first. Then Stormfeather charges.

Kreeb doesn’t roar or threaten. He simply emits a cheerful trill as he brings down a weapon many times his own height. And in that moment, every competitor understands why the Red Moons entered a cyber‑Porg into Titan Thunder:

No one expects the smallest pilot to hit the hardest.
