Hello Earth squishies, this is a story by my other half OP! Get out of Snazzy this is my story. :( You have your own story. Go over there for a bit. I see how it is... This was originally an assignment from school, but I'm putting it here. All OCs are mine but the rest are property of Hasbro.
Velocitron had been locked in a never ending war since Megatron had come. Ransack and Override had never seen eye to eye, but Megatron made it so they were at each others throats as the war drug on. Nitrostrike had chosen her side long ago, ever since she had seen them land on Velocitron. The Autobots were a force to be reckoned with, with their desire to do what is right and their loyalty to each other. Nitrostrike often dreamed of what could have happened if she had joined the Autobots when they left Velocitron. Little did she know that her dreams would soon be fulfilled.
Nitrostrike had been tasked with guarding the perimeter of Delta, the capital of Velocitron. While others might have taken the job seriously, Nitrostrike saw it as a chance to race around the hilly landscape. As much as she wanted to be as responsible as the Autobots, she always found herself racing, it was just her nature. Normally, nothing ever happened so she decided to race around and slack off, but today was different.
As Nitrostrike rounded the first corner, she could faintly hear a familiar voice, "For now, the Decepticon legions are vanquished, and fate has yielded its reward. A new world to call-home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret. Waiting. Protecting. I have been witness to their capacity for courage and sacrifice. Though internally and in many other ways we are literally worlds apart, as with us there is more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any survivors of our kind who may be taking refuge among other systems, other stars. You are not alone. You have a home here, among others of your kind. We are waiting."
Nitrostrike instantly skidded to a stop and transformed into her bipedal form. The All Spark was gone? Nitrostrike thought, The Autobots whole quest was to find it, the sole reason that they were being chased through the galaxy. And it was just gone? Nitrostrike sat there and pondered the statement for a moment, the sun glistening off of her silver exterior. What if she went to Optimus? She had already subconsciously triangulated the signal, all she would have to do was get on a ship and punch in the coordinates. She debated her options for a while longer, shifted into her alt-form, and headed towards Delta's space center.
As Nitrostrike neared the entrance to Delta she was greeted by a small motorcycle.
"Greetings, Override," Nitrostrike said as she shifted to bipedal mode to greet the motorcycle.
The motorcycle shifted into a small, red bot and responded, "Greeting, Nitrostrike. I noticed you leaving your post just now. Care to explain?"
"I, uh," Nitrostrike stammered.
"No matter," Override continued, "follow me."
The two bots shifted into their alt-forms and headed towards Override's headquarters within the space center. They shifted into bipedal mode to navigate the narrow hallways of the space station. The twisting hallways felt like they could go on forever, trapping them in a never ending maze. As they encountered a dead end Override walked over to a panel on the seemingly empty wall and entered a passcode. A hidden door slid open and they entered the office. Override sat down and motioned for Nitrostrike to do the same. Nitrostrike complied and fidgeted nervously, she sensed a punishment.
"So," Override said, "would you like to tell me why you were leaving your post?" The fact that Override was repeating her previous question in a private place unnerved her. Why was this question so important that I need to answer it inside? Should I tell her the truth? Nitrostrike thought.
"I heard something strange during my shift and felt that I should report it to you, Override." Nitrostrike blurted out the lie before she could consider her options.
"I see," Override responded, "Well I'm here now. Would you like to tell me what you heard?"
Now Nitrostrike was trapped, she had forgotten that by saying that she needed to report a strange noise, she would have to report it to Override. She could either tell more lies or admit what actually happened. Either way she would eventually have to tell Override about her plan to leave.
"I heard-," Nitrostrike paused, afraid that Override would think that she was crazy, "I heard a transmission from Optimus Prime." Override's expression surprised Nitrostrike, it was that of relief and understanding.
"And you want to find them," Override said softly. If Nitrostrike's optics could have widened, they would have. How does she know? Nitrostrike thought.
Override could sense her surprise and continued, "You want to help them in the war against Megatron, to help them settle into their new planet."
That was of even more surprise to Nitrostrike. She did not expect that any other bot had heard the transmission. It was so quiet that any bot would have to strain their auditory sensors to pick it up.
"Yes, I also heard the transmission and am upset to hear of their misfortune," Override said, "If you want to go I will not stop you. You may go if this is what you really want, which I believe it is. I can see your desire as you look towards the galaxy. Velocitron will miss you, but I believe that the Autobots need you more. Good luck, my friend."
"Thank you so much Override," Nitrostrike said graciously, "I won't let you down."
"I know you won't. Now go, your transport is already waiting," Override said, dismissing Nitrostrike. Nitrostrike quickly navigated the twisting hallways and saw a small spaceship waiting. She climbed in, set the coordinates, and off she went.
Many years passed and Nitrostrike was becoming worried. She worried that maybe the ship had gone off course or the coordinates were entered wrong. But, her doubts soon passed as the ship began its descent into a nearby solar system. The ship constantly fought the gravity of the other larger planets and headed to a small blue and green world. She knew that it was time.
OP - So what do you think?
Snazzy - TOO MANY WORDS MY EYES!
OP - This is only chapter one... There are nine more pages of what I have written... You also don't read much. That's why your eyes hurt.
Snazzy - This Nitrostrike character though... I think she's pretty cool.
OP - Thanks Snazzy.
