It was dark
All he could see was darkness
'What happened, am I one with primus?'
He started to get a feel of himself, to see if he were intact the same
He could fell his feet the small mechanical senses giving him information on their status
They are intact
He could feel both of his hands and also relayed messages to him
They are intact
That meant his body was intact and he knew his face was intact, his form was unchanged
'Where am I?'
'Well that's the question of the day'
Blackout saw a light appear in front of him, it was so bright he couldn't see who it was
'Who are you?'
'who am I well no one important maybe I am, I could be the most important thing in the world or maybe I could hold no meaning at all, completely unimportant, just like the void we find ourselves in who can say. Me, well my backstory is way too complicated, so I guess I could say that I'm life, everything, the universe, I am the first being to make all beings much like you cybertroneany'
This being was god! The human's religion was true but it said it is the first so it created his race as well, this information was nearly enough to crash his systems
'What happens now?'
'well normally, your kind would become one with primus but you sir a special case as your soul or spark has found its way to me somehow but I won't question it, but I will give you the option to start a new life.'
A new life, the words were being replayed in his head over and over, having a new life, a fresh start wasn't bad or anything but he was slightly disappointed that he wouldn't become one with primus, but he had one demand
'I wish to remain as I am'
'What do you- oh? I see what you meant, don't worry you'll still look like yourself as you were in your last life, but I will give you the power and some other ones to become human if you so wished to be as the world you're going to will be required, that being said its time for you to start your life now and don't worry I'll help but not too much,'
At the end of those words his light became brighter till I saw nothing but white light
[]
In a snowy landscape a bright light shown through a blizzard that was going on at the moment and disappeared as now the robotic figure of blackout was shown to the world, he checked himself over to see if was intact and he was, he was now thinking or calculating his course of action.
God has given him a chance at life again, gave him the option to become human at will and has granted him some powers to him that are still unknown to him at the moment, the next thing he noticed was radio waves, ones that humans used if not slightly advanced, he could tell they were military but of what he did not know, the last time he got information was when he destroyed a base he attacked, the information he got was more than he was hoping for and it severed him well if not too well.
Now with a plan he transformed into his human vehicle form that he was disguised as the humans called it a Blackhawk a bulky version of their most used skinny one but it was a form that suited him, he began flying to the base staying low to the ground to get under the radar plus this blizzard help him a lot to cover him.
He found the base it was small and gave him less of a tedious task to get rid of anyone who saw him, he needed a low profile and could not let any of them to now he was there
His cover was blown as he listened to their radio
\attention unidentified aircraft you in restricted airspace of the atlas military you are to move out of the area or you will be forced to land and taken into custody/
This was something blackout heard before and was not halted at all, he ignored the human and continued his flight to them, and he only had a kilometre to go
\unidentified aircraft turn around now before we use more direct measure/
This human still continued to annoy him but it mattered not he could see the base before him, it had a 10 meter high wall all around it showing the boundary's with sentry guns on it one gate house a runway with 5 hangers a couple more buildings that housed the human men and women, and his prize, a data hub in the communication building, it was bulky but nothing to him. He was descending slowly to the ground and noticed that the human solders scrambled around his landing zone, it was pathetic to him.
He landed on the tarmac runway
\pilot power down now/
He did his rotor blades were slowing, a combat plan was taking form, he would need to destroy this meeting party to get his objective, anything else that would get in the way would be delt with by any means necessary
\have your crew step out or you aircraft will be fired upon/
'Human you will die'
The black hawk rotor blades slammed to a halt before raising slightly and folding back, the cockpit started to sift to let his hand out soon the entire black hawk shifted gears plates mechanical parts twisting moving transforming into a shape
Blackout felt small pelts agensit his body some were very small and few were large enough to notice, what were they firing at him, the last world humans had much more than this, and they were able to kill him
Now his arms and legs were formed and now he pushed himself off the ground where his torso and chest to head were now formed with small parts adjusting themselves
Now he began his assault
His targets were now before him 34 solders firing upon him with 3 light armoured vehicles firing at him, he saw about 12 of the solders running away, forming his weapons he let looses
Firing 2 missiles at the vehicles which exploded with fiery flare he used his 30mm mini-gun on the troops, the bullets struck true hammering them and holes out of there armour,
'Wait a minute, why am I using these weapons when I could use my shock wave cannons'
True to his own thoughts he changed his weapons and unleashed a light blueish shock wave that caught all in all directions eliminating his attackers and destroying some buildings in the process
He began his light jog to the data center causing hell among the humans, firing on the move he laid waste to all attempts to hinder him firing missiles to hit armoury's and vehicle bays and to shoot down fleeing air transports, using his mini-gun on small targets and destroying all surveillance equipment, and firing his shock wave canon to bring buildings to the ground, he was outside of the data center and scanning for the hard drives, he found it within seconds moving his arms he ripped the roof off the building brought his mini-guns to bare and fired upon the humans inside, body parts went flying and blood splatted the ground, he found the hard drive and reached for it and ones grasped in his hands he hooked himself up and began downloading everything, from culture, society, advances to history, it was a lot to take in but was handled, black out now satisfied with the information he got then proceeded to start his secondary objective
The destruction of the base and all in it none shall live to tell the tale.
[]
It had been a week since he attacked the atlas military base, he had found out just where he was, the world of remnant
He was wondering how the humans were still alive at this point as he found out that there were dark creatures known as Grimm killing everything human and faunas, he found that part odd, humans with animal traits, tails to ears and sight, and were being put down.
He found that huntsmen and huntresses where the only things stopping the creatures of Grimm
These humans relied heavily on something called dust, a element that powered just about everything, it was used in all of their weapons as well, and it was absolutely useless agensit him
He also found out about the four kingdoms, vacuo, vale, mistral, and atlas, the four last safe havens for anything with a soul
He was flying to vale at the moment due to the fact he could go anywhere and to use his human form which he hated, the first time he used it was to get skills to interact with the local population and for general information that didn't require to destroy every military base he came across, and during his time as a human he found out that he would be seen as 6yr old child which was mildly infuriating and about his new powers that where gifted to him by god and they also came with an instruction manual to show him how to use them, thinking back to it now it include the following
The power of the legendary silver eyed warriors whoever they are they must of sucked a lot if they are not mentioned to this day
A semblance that granted him the power to call upon his weapons in his human form
Aura that would provide a personal shield until it run out
With those he felt quiet confident in his new found ability's
He was flying to a small island off the coast of vale known as patch he didn't know what he would find there but he felt as if he should go there like a tug on his spark and mostly because god said he could start his new life there.
He was closing in on the island and flew past the canyon coast line, the land seemed to be in winter as the land was blanketed in thick white snow, and he was looking for somewhere to land so he could understand why he should be here, he found a cliff with a large clearing, it was a good place to set down and figure out his next move, he approached the cliff and set down on his landing gear, once down he shifted his form and was standing to his full height, he moved to the cliff edge but not to close so his weight didn't make it unstable and fall off,
The view was nice but not as nice when he flew high above the clouds, black out then changed to his human form, he glowed black and his size and looks were changed to a fleshlier look, he looked just like a 6yr old his hair was pitch black spiked up a bit and covered his silver eyes a bit, he was wearing a black hoodie with a picture of a bird on the back likely a hawk, his under shirt was white on red diamond striped shirt, he had long cargo pants on in silvery black with black sneaker jogging shoes
This was his human form a form that would age just like any other human but that aging would stop if he were back to his original form, he stood there on the cliff gazing out wondering what he was doing here on the island, trying to think of a reason why he was drawn here, blackout then heard a snap of a twig behind him.
Turning around he found himself looking at a familiar individual
It was an adult women wearing a white cloak over a black red tipped long sleaved corset a black white combat skirt long high kneed stockings with black combat boots, even though the women's face was covered he knew what she looked like, black hair with red tips at the end and she had silver eyes, just like him, this women was showing the look of surprise, she now knew his form, steeling herself she spoke out to blackout
"It's you"
It wasn't a question nor a hint, but recognition of who he was, with all honesty blackout never thought he would be seeing this human so soon after the last time they met each other
"I never thought we would meet each other so soon summer rose"
How blackout knew her name was no surprise but the more important thing to him was the childish high voice that he spoke in his human form,
FLASHBACK:
Blackout was flying above an island named vytal, it had a lot of history on it apparently, being the ending area of the Great War blackout was planning to head into the city to get some more information, he needed to test out his human form and the powers that came with it, plus when in that form he could easily be able to access the humans sources of information, it had only been three days since the base attack became the main focus of the world, in fact like, who did it, how did it happened. They all mainly thought it was the this terrorist organisation named the white fang, but they had no evidence but that topic was a big one, it made blackout happy about eliminating everyone in that base, who would not make the same mistake twice, that being said he carefully hacked into the more secure areas of the atlas military's severs to see if he was at all seen or mentioned and found none of the sort but in the time he was in he took some copies of secret files to look over, everything he knew was an advantage to him for if he knew how to combat it he would win.
Discontenting before he would be detected in the system he continued his flight not before hearing a bunch of wails, screams, screeches and gunshots with light detonations from some explosive device, the noise were coming from the south west 753 meter away, it would seem to be a small settlement as there were a lot of smoke stacks raising up forming into one big one as it was highly noticeable, it would be an obvious guess that they were under attack from the creatures of Grimm
Blackout didn't care for them, his obvious choice was to keep flying away and let them all die, they weren't important, no human was important to him but why was there a feel that made him want to go back and help, he had no pity for them, he didn't care he wanted them to die but why was that feeling getting stronger the farther away he going and the screams of innocent people dying
"Why" he said "why do I wish to save them, they killed my brothers, my pet, shot at me, blew me up, and now I feel as if they should not die, they all should die"
He stopped his forward momentum till he was just hovering above the ground
"They are not those humans"
With that he turned around and sped off at full speed towards the doomed settlement, hopefully he may find a soul worth saving.
[]
The village outside the main city of vytal was a wreck, everything was on fire till the smoke and ashes blocked out the sun making it look like night had come, the Grimm were killing everything in sight civilians were running like sheep to the slaughter, and whatever defence or formation of defence from the towns guard or hunter was crumbling from fear and despair, and those two things were beacons to the Grimm
But one huntress with a hybrid scythe had to say otherwise
Summer rose was busy protecting a building filled with town's people and some wounded towns guard members inside as she the only thing keeping the Grimm at bay, the fear coming from the building occupants were not helping matters at all, summer was fight alone, the only break she got was when some guard stragglers were coming to the building to help with deafens but they didn't last to long as they would get injured and would have to head inside to get treated.
And the unlucky ones… well they weren't joining life anytime soon
Summer didn't know how many Grimm she shot, sliced or generally killed she thinks that shed pass the hundredth zone by now but who can say, might have killed more than that or maybe less if she were unlucky
She been fighting for a while now, her aura was low from the use of her semblance and some hits she'd had taken, she getting slower and sloppier in her attack moves, she didn't know how long till she collapsed as every inch and fibre of her body yelled demanded her to stop and rest or they would be forced to make her stop and that was something she couldn't allow
She needed to protect these people, she had duty to protect this town and all, and she just hoped that there weren't that many Grimm left, but hope was the first step to the road of disappointment, she was losing hope now as the number of Grimm she were facing now had increased tenfold
The creatures were slowly making their way till they stopped and looked up to the left
She didn't know what they were nor looking at but when she heard an engine noise getting louder along with a flapping she turned her head to the direction of the noise, she knew it was getting closer by the second but couldn't see it due to the amount of black smoke rising from the burning house
The flapping grew louder and soon the smoke was blown away revealing an odd looking air ship, it had no dust powered jet engines it had only one very big rota spinning above the main fuselage an long metal section that connected to a smaller rota spinning as well, it looked like an new invention from atlas but seemed a bit to obsolete but too new to be old
Then on both sides of it rocket pods and mini-guns were shown, summers hope rose up as a new spark was admitted, the strange air ship then fired upon the creatures of Grimm
Missiles were flying scoring hits with the larger older Grimm and destroying any thing near them in fiery display, the bullets from the Mini-guns tore flesh and bone from the bodies of Grimm while creating small craters in the ground as well as making a fierce roaring sound to them as the air ship did many strafing runs but hovering long enough to create astounding loses to the Grimm horde that came to the town,
Blackout was flying all over the town laying waste to the pitiful creatures of darkness, shredding them from limbs and burning them with well-placed missile strikes, all was going well the Grimm were nearly annihilated from his arrival and the towns folk seem to have rekindled there fighting spirit, as all who could fight came out of there hiding places and took to the streets to push the Grimm out of their home
Blackout was thinking about leaving when he saw that he may no longer be required to help that's till a massive blip come on his air radar followed by loud screeching
Behind him a massive nevermore major came from the smoke firing steel pricing feathers at blackout as he swerved to the left to avoid them, they were a close call but the bird came in for air collision. Blackout banked hard right avoiding the bird, it flew a ways away before circling back to charge head first to blackout, that was a mistake on its part.
Blackout brought all guns to bare on his target and let loses a combination of missiles and 30mm rounds on the flying Grimm, the sight could only be stated as epic, as if you were on the ground gazing up to the sky you would see a bulky black hawk firing many missiles and traces of bullets at an charging bird Grimm
As the hell storm hit the nevermore the 30mm rounds with sink in deep into the amour on the bird or bounces off due to the angle of the amour but tear holes in the flesh the missiles that impacted and exploded would tear off chunks of amour and burn and singe the flesh and in the barrage of fire and metal the feathers that helped the grim fly were burnt or shot off so much it clipped its ability to fly but it was still coming at blackout with its momentum.
Blackout moved to the side at the last possible moment but felt a new added weight to his flying that forced him to spiral to the ground at an alarming fast rate, looking back he found that the Grimm's talons had snatched onto his tail rotas support beam that stretched to his main body and it was bringing him down
The hawk and bird collided with the ground separating on impact while the bird Grimm tumbled and smashed through many houses blackout was lucky enough to be able land in the streets while uplifting the cement that made the road in his crash tumbling down the street till he slid to a halt a couple meters from where summer was standing. With that jolt and impact he made shore to fold his rota blades back so they wouldn't get to much damaged as he needed them to fly, his body didn't lose any parts but he had some scratches and dents.
He attention was then brought to a humane female coming to him thinking if there were any of its kind in need, blackout didn't want it to come close to him but the humans advances were stopped as a loud screech sounded through the entire town
Four blocks away a bunch of rubble of wood bricks and ash was thrashed away as a large figure emerged from it.
'that thing is still alive' summer thought in dread, the strange air ship before pilotless just gave it hell, managed to clip its wings and have it smash through the several buildings, to just stand up again, and it looked very angry, it had many burns and embers on its exposed flesh, many of its armoured plates were gone and its ability to fly was taken
The now flightless nevermore looked around for a bit before its red soulless eyes landed on blackouts vehicle form, it screeched again and stared making its way him albeit quickly
Summer couldn't nor had enough strength to fight the nevermore, sure she could but it wouldn't make much difference even if the Grimm was wounded her weapon wouldn't get a kill shot
Blackout on the other hand noticed that the bird was coming and saw that many humans were around his location especially the female near him, he needed to kill this thing but at the risk of exposure and at the same time if didn't he be ripped apart if he did nothing, his options were near nigh and time was running out so he made his choice
Summer heard sifting and gears changing, looking to the air ship she saw something that defied her understanding, the airship was changing its very rota blades were being compacted on its back the body was changing to a torso and mechanical arms and leg formed and pushed the whole thing upright and there in a humanoid like shape its was formed, an un-remnant bound creature or machine, it was out of this world
Blackout stood tall and when he form was done changing he charged the oversized bird, the two clashed in the middle of town and smashed ageist each other's opposing force
Blackout was holding the Grimm's small hooks on its charred wing in his metallic hands, both were pushing but black was stronger and pushed it back till it smashed through the towns inn to the other side, blackout un clasped his right hand from its wing cocked it back to form a fist and brought it forward hitting its head to the left.
The force from the punch was enough to make stumble back a few feet before it brought down it left wing on him, he dogged it by jumping back he formed his shock wave cannon on his left arm and was about to shoot before the nevermore pounced forward catching blackout by surprise and sent both tumbling but the grim had blackout pined on the ground with one arm holding back a very sharp beck that tried to tear his head off, the other to the side pined by one of its hooks.
It was a stalemate as nether were getting anywhere with each other, the nevermore seemed to have the upper hand but blackout was strong enough to keep it back, he came up with a plan to get it off him.
He turned his pined arm into a missile launcher and had his eyes direct a laser light to the Grimm's body and once he got a good lock he fired three missiles from his arm, it would look like he was wasting ammo but the missiles were laser guided and they were arcing back around to their designated target.
The missiles impacted on the Grimm's side throwing it off with the force of the explosion, it destroyed more of its white bony armour and burned and ripped more of its exposed flesh off, this allowed blackout to recover and crouch as he aimed his shock wave cannon on the bird he fired and it caught the still recovering nevermore in its area of effect and sent it through more buildings that were destroyed or burning.
Blackout reached for his back and gripped onto a handle that formed, pulling he took one of his rota blades off his back and it formed a nice looking katana like sword, without losing a second he sprinted to the downed Grimm put the sword in a revers grip and jumped high in the air moved the sword above his head with hands on the handle and blade point facing a nevermore getting up.
Gravity took its affect and brought blackout down on the Grimm, his blade struck earning a shriek of pain from the Grimm as blackouts blade went through to the other side of the Grimm's chest section, with a mighty pull blackout sawed his blade through the bird till it came out of a nearly cut in half Grimm
The nevermore fell to the ground with a thud and after a while it slowly dissipated into nothing, blackout stood there triumphant at his victory over the dark creature he had slain, he felt a drop of liquid on him then some more till it started falling all round him, it was raining, and some thunder sounded off in the distant, he started moving to the town square getting some space to transform and leave the settlement before more humans came, with that being said he was about head off till he was halted.
"Wait stop," he heard a female voice call out behind him, so turning around he looked down and saw a humane in a bright white cloak coving her figure
"You can't leave without telling us who you are, you saved us" saved them, he saved them from destruction when he was fighting, it was an odd sense, he was usually the one attacking, the one destroying taking lives, he was once a deceptacon
"Blackout" a low metallic voice said from blackout "my name is blackout"
Without letting summer ask another question he jumped up in the air and transformed into his vehicle form and flew off into the now rainy sky
There would be reports on how an unknown combat air ship saved the town for weeks to come and many would try to find the ones who saved them but few in the town knew what happened, from their eyes they will tell a different tale but not a tale to tell others
FLASHBACK END:
To see blackout again was a tremendous surprise to summer for hadn't thought of ever seeing him or it again but to see him turn into a 6yr old humane boy, a 6yr old, it didn't make the slightest sense, but regardless before her was her saviour, the one who saved the town and left without saying anything else but his name.
"You're so young" she said, the statement was about to be corrected
"I am older than you" summer didn't know what he meant by this
"Whenever I become my…robotic form my aging is grinded to a halt, I used it so much that have deemed it my original form but I may have lost myself in identity, and before you ask yes it is my semblance." It was a complete lie, well part from the semblance part but the rest, complete, blackout was not going to tell anyone what he once was and where he came from they shall never know
'he must have been six years old when he found that semblance and he must of unlocked it at an tragedy of his family' "do you remember or have a family" summer ask not knowing the question she just given was not something you say when you think someone has lost them, but regardless blackout answered anyway
"No"
"Do you have some place to stay" it was winter after all
"I am constantly moving from place to place to even consider that"
"Do you want to join my family" blackout paused at that trying to understand what she had just said
"What?"
"Well you have nowhere to go, no place to call home, no one to rely on, and I'm not going to leave a 6yr old child all alone"
"I'm older than you"
"Your body says otherwise, now are you coming"
Blackout was trying to understand her logic for completely defied his, because who would take in a thing that can transform into a 3 stories building robot that has weapon that can kill you in a blink of an eye while also coming from a life where it had a long history of violence even if they don't know it and this laddie this humane female was going to say come and join the family, he knew he came to this world for a new life but this was the most unexpected development he had ever come across, but weighing his option carefully he could see going with this humane had many sides to the coin, but…
"Fine, but what is your name"
"Summer, summer rose, and you"
"My name is blackout"
"Well if you're coming to join the family you will be called Brian blackout rose instead of blackout and that's final. Now come along it's not good for children your age to get a cold staying out here"
"I am old-AHHCHOO!" 'WHAT IN THE ALL SPARK' blackout couldn't believe this, he just did a human sneeze which signified illness upon the body, 'WHHAAAAAATTTT'
Summer just giggled at blackouts flustered face
"Well, let's go before you do get a cold"
"ok" that was all black- no Brian blackout rose was going to say, beside the choice he made however good or bad, has given him many opportunity's
AN
I wonder if there any other person out there who has done what I'm about to attempt
Well like favour and follow as blackout makes his way through the world of remnant as many things will change but maybe they won't, who can say for sure
