Chapter 6: Transformers - Vector Prime
Vector Prime was surprised to wake up again and was ready to battle. He didn't expect to wake up in a peaceful era.... Well as peaceful as it got considering the two groups that were present. And did he mention a third group that comprised of younglings was also being created? They spoke fondly of a human who told them of many groups and organizations that existed in his world and how no one was obliged to join one group. But most importantly if they wanted they could create their own. Vector Prime remembers talking to a version of himself who had sacrificed his existence for the future of his friends and family. The older one too spoke fondly about three human children who stubbornly stuck by their side despite the dangers.
Optimus, "Energon for thought?"
Vector, "Hmm... Nothing, I just remembered a curious meeting."
Megatron looked up from his tablet, "Oh? Do share."
Vector, "Well, I recall meeting an older version of myself while in stasis. He had given his life for sake of the future. He mentioned meeting human children. Three of them, and how much fond he was of them."
Optimus turned to him, "Really?"
Vector Prime nodded, "He told me, despite their young age, lack of experience and knowledge, the three children always did their best to help. Sometimes even going as far as ignoring their own health and safety."
Megatron narrowed his optics, "Are you telling me humans are that foolish to ignore their needs for others."
Vector shook his helm, "Not necessarily, they knew what they needed. It was more like once they promise something like helping their friends. They will do everything they can to help others. One of them even got stuck with the enemy, of course they managed to rescue him. They even jumped into danger to save the minicons almost giving everyone a spark attack."
Optimus's servo twitched at that, "I see. So they have a lack of self preservation, you mean."
Vector Prime paused, "It seems to be that way but strangely enough, they get things done."
Megatron grumbled, "Well, I can't say Ash is no different. He basically came to a hostile planet in the middle of a war to save it's sparklings and younglings."
Optimus frowned, "Remind me to talk to him about this."
Vector Prime almost laughed at the two of them, they were acting like an overprotective mama predacon, 'But then again my older counterpart did mention, his Optimus was very protective of the human sparklings. In fact even if Megatron was his enemy there, the Warlord never attacked the children directly.'
Vector Prime, "Oh and they are very loving and caring once they trust you. Hugs, smiles and kisses are their way of showing they care, but only to those they trust."
Megatron was glaring at a shelf, "I didn't realize they were physically intimate with those they care about."
Optimus understood how he felt, "That's just how they are I suppose. We would just have to protect him from those who would try to take advantage of him."
Vector Prime nodded, "That's exactly what my counterpart and his group did. All of them were very protective of the young ones who loved and cared so easily. In his own words, once they trust you, they trust you with their life, body and heart. I believe, you can imagine how easy it would be for someone to take advantage of them."
Megatron grunted, 'I will just have to become stronger and more terrifying.'
Optimus, "Oh Primus! I can already imagine the number of young Cybertronians who would misunderstand and think they were being courted instead."
Megatron hissed, "Not under my watch."
Vector Prime, "Ah! Here we are! Earth, the third planet in the fifteenth solar system of the MW galaxy. I recall my older counterpart mentioning the planet's creatures always changes depending on how life evolves. In this dimension it is ruled by Pokemon who are God like and is protected from outside forces. It was a miracle my Prime was able to land on the planet in the first place. A green coloured Predacon like Pokemon is very protective of Earth."
Optimus looked at the image, "Huh! That is quite fascinating. Would this creature be able to stand against Quintessons?"
Vector Prime, "More than that, they can control meteors and attack using meteors at high speed. Many years ago they protected the thirteen from the Quintesson hunters. It was quiet a quick battle I hear, they didn't see him coming. But then again Quintessons always did look down on organics."
Megatron grunted, "A foolish mistake but one they commit everytime. Looking down on others."
Vector Prime, "Agreed! Ah! Interesting, you said Ash told you he was not from this time and space?"
Optimus, "He implied it."
Vector Prime, "I believe, the creatures known as Celebi and Dialga were involved. They can control time."
Optimus looked intrigued, "Truly?"
Vector Prime, "Yes, though they only do it to make sure unnecessary deaths do not occur. They will choose a human, an aura user to complete the task. Success rate is quiet high apparently."
Optimus mulled over what he had learned and half wondered how the pit are humans even alive. Their bodies are small, soft, easily squished and yet they will put themselves in danger. What the frag! He would have to come up with a plan to keep his sparkling safe and sound. From the way Megatron's optics were glowing Optimus could tell he was thinking the same thing. The two of them had been talking for two vorns now and had resolved most of the conflict between them. In fact, they had even exchanged the first courtship gifts between them.
Optimus had received a beautiful decoration made from the crystal. Megatron had personally dug the crystal out and Megatron had received a beautifully crafted wrist armour from Optimus. Optimus had spent a lot of time in crafting and detailing the wrist armour which spread across the arm plates and shoulder plates when activated. It was just the first courting gift between them but it had eased a lot of the tension too. Their friends and followers had placed bets on when they would get together and how long till Ash was born in normal time. They figured it would be sometime in the future as the bond didn't break but rather disappeared as if he didn't exist yet.
Megatron got up, "Well I better go check on Soundwave. I left him in charge of building the Lamaria after all."
Optimus, "Very well, Megatron, I'll see you in a few solar cycles."
Megatron, "Of course, Optimus. See you then."
Vector Prime smiled, "I am happy to see you two able to get together."
Optimus, "We weren't back in.. "
Vector Prime shook his helm, "No the war never had a lull and the younglings and sparklings did not survive. It caused many resentment between the two groups making it impossible for any reconciliation."
Optimus paused, "Oh! I didn't realize it could turn that bad. I am forever thankful we ran into our sparkling."
Megatron meanwhile met with Soundwave who gave him a report on literally everything that was going on. Megatron's mouth twitched on going through what Starscream had to deal with when it came to the Council, serves the seeker right. He always mocked him for not overthrowing the Council or winning them over, now that he was directly dealing with them, he changed his tune. The Warlord chuckled at some of the choice words Starscream had to say about them but didn't do so infront of them.
Soundwave, "Question: Do you plan on going to Earth together with Optimus?"
Megatron, "That is the plan for now."
Soundwave, "Meaning?"
Megatron, "If either Optimus or I get sparked we may have to stay back. Space is no place for sparkling growth and from what I have seen, Earth could be a good place but it's hard to say how far the planet is for it to be feasible."
Soundwave turned to him, "Question: Who will be joining you?"
Megatron, "I'm hoping to complete it by the time the younglings graduate and get their final Cybertronian frames. They have expressed desire to come along and perhaps some old acquaintances would be joining."
Soundwave, "Soundwave will follow Megatron."
Megatron, "Thank you, my friend."
Soundwave nodded and returned to watching over the work of building the ship and a portable space bridge. Megatron hopes to connect Earth to Cybertron and Soundwave could understand why even though he was not so fond of the idea of mingling with too many organics. He doesn't mind Megatron's sparkling, but the others that the young one had told them about worried him. They sounded like they were more trouble then they were actually worth. He would have to go with his Lord to keep an optic on them, not only to make sure they don't create trouble for them but also to ensure the sparklings safety.
Megatron had relayed what he had learned from the ancient Prime to him and the young ones worried him. They sounded like they had no self preservation at all. He would have to come up with a plan to keep an optic on the young sparkling. In fact, he had a distinct feeling, they would see the sparkling soon enough before leaving. Soundwave has always trusted his instincts though it did not always tell him the correct location, it was always right about the danger. Soundwave cringed on hearing a crash and turned to the screen only to sigh exasperated on seeing Rodimus again.
Soundwave, "Question: Hiding again?"
Rodimus, "Oh Soundwave! Hi, I didn't know you would be here eh he he he he he he he.. "
Rodimus realized Soundwave was not impressed, "Yeah, I thought being a Prime would be cool, you know? I thought it would be awesome to have people look at me with respect.... Which they do but... Well they also expect me to know things I don't have a clue about and I don't know what to do."
Soundwave snorted, "Statement: Starscream facing similar problem."
Rodimus was surprised, "Really? Cause I saw him earlier, he looked like he fit in really well."
Soundwave, "Starscream: Great pretender."
Rodimus stepped up next to him, "Really? If you say so, you knew him longer than me, I guess."
Soundwave, "Rumble, watch the energon lines."
Rumble, "Got it boss."
Rodimus looked at the plans for the Ship and gave an impressed whistle, "I bet Ultra Magnus would love this."
Soundwave, "Ultra Magnus: Busy with security on Cybertron."
Rodimus, "I heard that Wheeljack is working with Shockwave to help make a liveable area for the human sparklings. Yeah, sparklings, they recon, the two leaders won't be the only ones returning with sparklings."
Soundwave shrugged, "Not my circus, not my Scraplets."
Rodimus chuckled at that as he settled himself on one of the chairs close to the monitors. Everyone was so busy these days, working on the space bridges or on the ships, but then again they did recover some very interesting art pieces from Crystal City. It helped both sides to acquire credits that were very much needed. Meanwhile Gold Bug was helping a furious Starscream calm down, sometimes the femme felt more like a Carrier then a friend. The new Decepticon Leader had just returned from another meeting, unlike Rodimus, he didn't have an ancient Prime to share his duties with. It frustrated the Seeker to no end when the Council demanded he did something about the Cons.
Starscream, "Blasted arrogant old bolts thinking they know everything. They let the actions of their guards slide."
Gold Bug, "Calm down Starscream."
Skyfire, "Yeah Star, getting you furious is exactly what they want."
Prowl came in with a grim expression, "I have started an investigation on some of the Council just as you requested. You will not enjoy what I have found."
Thundercracker, "What did you find?"
Prowl, "There have been younglings who were about to enter adulthood going missing from the gamma sectors. They have been reported missing but no evidence of who, how or why."
Starscream, "What?"
Speedway came in, "That's not all, everytime one goes missing down there, there is a sale in the labour market."
Gold Bug had a dark expression as well, "Coincidence? I think not!"
Starscream scowled, "Call Arachainid, if anyone can find them. It's her."
Thundercracker, "A... A... Are you sure, Starscream? I mea, you two didn't exactly part ways on good terms."
Starscream scowled, "I know but this is above our personal problems."
Skyfire smiled, "I will be here if you need anything."
Starscream nodded at his Conjunx, he didn't like the femme hunter, especially after how she treated one of his flock. Slipstream and Skyblast were very serious about her but Arachainid had left them high and dry without a by your leave. The Femme and Mech pair was very much hurt with how the femme had disappeared but decided to let it go. But Starscream was not that forgiving however and banned the hunter from coming near Vos ever again. None of the other Seekers and natives of Vos questioned it, they knew what happened between the three.
Starscream, "Thundercracker, take Arielcharge and keep an optic on her. I don't want her trying to get her claws on another."
Thundercracker, "I don't think we have to worry about that. I have heard she got together with another femme.... Though it probably won't be stopping her from trying to get another."
Gold Bug muttered, "I heard she was a hunter but I didn't expect her to be interested in that sort of hunting too."
Speedway nodded holding her servo, "Let's just keep the interactions professional. I don't want to get involved in unnecessary drama if I am being honest."
Gold Bug, "Yeah... Speaking of younglings almost becoming adults, I believe Bumblebee is coming over with Blades. We better get going now if we don't want to miss out on a get together. I believe Windblade is coming with her Conjunx Blackstorm. I didn't expect them to get together."
Speedway laughed, "Yes, they are very opposite to each other aren't they?"
Skyfire, "I remember when they met each other."
Starscream chuckled, "They were always fumbling and acting like foolish younglings in love. Go enjoy your family night Gold Bug, Speedway. If something comes up I shall inform you of it."
Gold Bug nodded, "I'll get them to talk to Rodimus about this. They know how to be discreet."
Starscream, "Hmm very well. Just be careful. I will not forgive you if you offline on me."
Gold Bug's optics glowed fondly, "Of course Star."
[A. N.: Well I tried to stick with Rodimus character as much as I could.
I hope I got him right. XDD
Starscream was fun to write however. lol
Till next time my lovely readers.]
