Title: Connection
Fandom: Magic Knight Rayearth
Rating: PG
Length: 1250 words
Author notes: YET MORE GIANT ROBOTS because apparently I just like playing with snippets of this universe. Because Pacific Rim. XD And this bit is why there's no two-pilot system in this AU?
Summary: Clef takes the three new trainees to meet their future mech.

We interrupt this regularly scheduled challenge to introduce you to our newest badge, which was suggested by helens78 (thank you!):



If you're a fan_flashworks poster of yore¹ and you've been thinking about making a return, The Comeback Kid is the badge for you. All you have to do is post something in three consecutive challenges and these triumphal pixels could be yours. As always, tracking and claiming the badge is up to you. Please see our Achievement Badges Post for details.

You may now resume your regular fannish activities. Thank you for your attention.

¹"Yore" here meaning three challenges ago or longer.
