An explanation, and an announcement.

The BB Brigade went back stage when their turn was done. They went out of view as the announcer introduced the next cosplayer to take the stage. Once the girls were out of view, they found a corner to themselves. Lynn parked the MEKA so the back was facing the corner, making her face the other three girls.

"Lynn, what were you doing?" Kiona asked getting up front. "Do you have any idea how close you came to having everyone see you?"

"It can't be all her fault," Marigold said, the memory of seeing Lynn's backside still freshly implanted in her mind. "It's hard not to feel a little naughty dressed like this, and um... the way Lynn was..."

Lynn blushed, though she knew she had to defend herself. "I didn't do that on purpose! Something was wrong with the MEKA. The seat was vibrating... right on my..." She clenched her hands and gritted her teeth. "Well... I think you all know. It got stronger every time I moved, in fact it's still going but it's against my leg now."

"That's really peculiar," Terri said. "Joy, was anything amiss when you last worked on it?"

"Ah heh heh," Joy scratched the back of her head with a nervous laugh. This immediately drew the suspicion of the rest of the group. Lynn was probably going to be furious, but she deserved an answer. "Well, no, there wasn't anything wrong. But I might have set up a little prank that got out of hand."

Lynn blinked twice. "A prank? That was a prank?" She said, slowly getting louder.

"Yeah... I sort of hid a vibrator in your seat." Joy admitted. "It wasn't supposed to go to a high setting though, just enough to give you a little buzz!" She made eye contact with Lynn. Her friend was red faced, though it didn't appear to be from embarrassment this time. "You're not mad, are you?"

Terri, Marigold and Kiona all exchanged shocked expressions, and saw Lynn's hands reach for the controls of the MKEA. It was a signal for all of them to back away.

"Um... Joy, I know that look! You might want to give Lynn some space!" Terri warned.

The MEKA slowly moved forward as Lynn glared at Joy.

"Now um... Lynn," Joy slowly backed away, waving her hands. "We did save you from being seen by everyone, you should be thanking us!"

"I know. That's why you get a head start." Lynn said in a cold, almost sinister tone.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" Joy turned and started to run. A few seconds later, Lynn gave chase, driving the MEKA through the back stage area and shooting more of the little foam balls at Joy. She spared no mind to anyone else backstage, as other cosplayers cleared a path. Lynn was on the hunt, and even though Lynn was pretty mad at Joy, she planned on later admitting that the experience was actually kind of fun.

The chase had gone full circle, and Lynn had Joy stuck in the corner they were at to begin with. The robot didn't seem to be able to reach it's normal top speed. Lynn also noticed that the vibrator wasn't running quite as hard anymore, not that she really cared. She was going to unload all those little foam balls on Joy.

"I think she's gotten the point, Lynn!" Kiona said.

Lynn stared at Joy for a moment, looking at her fearful friend. She thought about how she made sure nobody in the audience knew the truth, and then lowered the guns. "Alright, I just had to get that out of my system."

"We're ready to announce the winners!" said the announcer over the speaker system. Everyone perked up and looked towards it. "Announcing first for the group category, this years SAX Cosplay Champions are... the BB Brigade as the Heroines of Overwatch! Would the BB Brigade please come on stage?"

The girls were in a stunned silence, then excitement appeared on their faces.

"Did... did we just win?" Marigold said.

"I think that's a yes!" Terri jumped and cheered.

Lynn and Joy exchanged a look. After a few seconds, Lynn broke the silence and smiled. "Alright, we're cool. Lets greet the people!"

The whole group made their way onto the stage to much fanfare from the audience. All of that cheering was music to Lynn's ears. Hard work had paid off, and now Lynn could truly call herself the queen of cosplay! As she rolled the MEKA onto the stage, just behind her friends, she saw many cameras lighting up and flashing. Despite being in the MEKA, Lynn let go of the controls and waved at the audience.

She couldn't help but smirk. They didn't even have a clue just how hot things had gotten inside her mighty robot. After a quick glance to her side, she saw the rest of her friends lining up, so she moved the MEKA to try and match how they were standing. As she did this, she could feel the vibrators motor slowing down, which was welcomed. At this point, it was more of a nuisance, and wasn't even that pleasurable of a spot, at least not compared to where it was earlier.

Something else concerning was happening with the MEKA, however, and it was that it didn't seem to be moving as fast. Lynn just bit her lip and focused on parking, hoping the robot would hold out until she could get back to the hotel. As she positioned it, she heard a slight humming noise, and her plug suit lose a little tension. Lynn's eyes widened.

"...Shit!" She hissed under her breath. The MEKA's batteries must have been weakening again, likely being drained faster by the vibrator, having to share power with her suit, and of course, chasing Joy for revenge. If the MEKA ran out of power, her plug suit would loose tension and would no longer cover her top half. She released the controls, and heard the humming again, as the suit tightened itself.

"This award is given for outstanding attention to detail to your costumes, and the amazing ingenuity of your robot!" said the announcer. "Congratulations!" The crowd applauded more as the trophy was presented to the whole team.

Lynn badly wanted to be out of the MEKA and among her friends, but she couldn't leave. All she could do was sit there, smile, and hope the MEKA's batteries would last. There was another humming noise and her suit loosened again. Her heart started racing. If the batteries failed... She shivered, not wanting to think about that possibility, and yet it felt like it was seconds away.

"We hope that all of you will return for next years competition!" the announcer continued. "Lets get your group together for some photos!" He looked towards Lynn. "Can you move the robot to... right about here?" He tapped his foot at a spot on the floor in the center of the stage.

The barely dressed girl blinked twice. Move the MEKA? On what little power it has left? "Um... I dunno, the batteries are bit tired. Maybe it would be easier if everyone moved around me?"

"Nonsense, it would be so well centered! Just a little to your left!" He said, tapping his foot again.

Lynn gulped as she looked towards her expecting friends and gripped the controls. "Don't fail me now." She attempted to turn the MEKA, and instead got a louder humming sound. The robot didn't turn, but a more alarming problem began to take place. Her suit had begun loosening, and soon was completely slack. It not longer gripped her body and soon looked more like ribbons.

The announcer was the first to notice something was going on. "Um... I think your suit has a little problem," he said.

With no more tension around her body, Lynn quickly realized that she was becoming naked, right in front of him! "Ahh! Don't look!" She tried to crawl backwards, to cover her breasts. Lynn hadn't noticed that her elbow had bumped into the button to open the hatch at the back of the MEKA. The back hatch released suddenly, causing Lynn to fall backwards out of the robot. With her suit still attached by wires, her head slipped right out of the collar, leaving the remaining half of the cosplay behind.

Lynn suddenly landed on the stage floor, quickly realizing that she was now completely naked. This couldn't be happening, this was supposed to be her coronation! Instead her nude body was about to be seen by everyone!

Her first instinct was to jump back into the MEKA. She was behind it, meaning she was at least partially hidden, or so she hoped. Only, the MEKA was now slowly rolling forward towards the edge of the stage!

"No! No no no no!" Lynn got back up and tried to get back inside as quick as she could, but it was too late. It had went over the edge of the stage, and hit the ground with a loud crash. There was a deafening gasp, and a little bit of screaming. Lynn cringed, and tried to cover herself as much as her hands could, wishing she could just disappear.

There was a space between the stage and the audience, so nobody was hurt. Even the MEKA seemed to take the hit pretty well. Aside from some scratches and a new dent, it had survived the fall with minimal damage. The only real problem was that it was now on its side, and no longer usable. When it became clear that nobody was hurt, attention returned to the literally nude D.Va on stage.

She stared at the crowd like a deer caught in the headlights, unsure of what to do, when suddenly something cold bumped into her. Lynn shook her head and realized that Joy and Terri had picked up the trophy and were now holding it in front of Lynn. The golden prize was just barley big enough to obscure the view of Lynn's nakedness, while Marigold and Kiona also opted to stand in the way.

"It's probably time to get off the stage now, wouldn't you say?" Terri asked. "Before the camera's start blinking some more."

No arguments were made against Terri's suggestion, as the BB Brigade obscured the view of their naked team mate as best they could while they rushed off stage. They could hear the announcer make a joke about last minute wardrobe malfunctions, which burned in Lynn's ears.

Their victory was allowed to stand since Lynn's costume didn't fall apart until after the judges made their decisions. That was the best news to come out of the day, and it made Lynn feel better about just how many things had gone wrong with her cosplay. She knew pictures were going to hit the internet. Against a crowd that size, there had to be cameras that captured her form.

Backstage, Lynn had been given a towel to cover herself with, while she tried to shake off what had just happened. Both Kiona and Marigold were with her, as Terri went to fetch more clothes, and Joy went to inspect the MEKA.

"Well, look at it this way," Kiona said, standing by Lynn. "You may have lost your cosplay, but we won the contest."

"Yes! Lets focus on that! What a win!" Marigold said, trying to sound encouraging.

Lynn sat there with a blush on her face, and looked at her reflection in the trophy. "You know what, you're right. So what if everyone saw me naked? We have this!" Then she smirked. "Besides... as bad as things got... I think it was still.... kinda fun."

"I finally found a t-shirt vendor!" Terri said, jubilantly coming to the backstage area. "I made sure to get a tall one, it should reach your knees!"

"Thank you Terri," Lynn said, taking the shirt and slipping it on over her head. It was a black t-shirt, and in the chest area, was a picture of D.Va making a heart symbol with her hands. As Terri promised, it reached Lynn's knees. Despite this, she kept the towel, only now she wrapped it around her waist.

"Well girls," Joy rejoined the group. "I think the MEKA will be able to ride again. Some security guards are turning back onto its wheels right now. Once that's done, I'll remove the vibrator and we can bring it back to the hotel. Lynn, I'm so sorry about what I did, a lot of this is kind of my fault."

"It's alright Joy, we won, I'll get over it. All I want to do right now is just get back to the hotel and take a nice long shower." She said with a small chuckle. Lynn then bit her lip. "But um... about that vibrator..." She took a few steps closer to Joy, tilting her head left and right, not making eye contact until she got closer. "... Don't be so hasty."
