Bypassed

Now, obviously, there were barely any secrets between good brothers when it came to mechas.

And when Ollie proudly mentioned the upgrades he had installed, one pseudo mechanic decided that Xavier also needed them.

Not to mention the fact that Sid might feel left out once all of the mechas had such upgrades on them!

But Sid had been too groggy to notice what was happening. He would've screamed that he was totally fine and wouldn't have felt left out had he been lucid.

But he wasn't.

The guardian mecha had such an unforgettable night that it nearly discharged itself in what it could only think of as stress.

See, it sounded bad like that, but Sid's issue actually came from the onset of internal energy.

The mecha couldn't figure out how to deal with the circulating energy as it normally expended whatever it got from the Master to maintain its functions.
