Chapter 1-Walking among the Bluebells
The skies above the Pacific Ocean were calm, hanging in the blue skies above the calm ocean was a darkened ship. A alien ship from a far off planet, on this ship it housed the Decepticon cause.
Standing on the bridge of this ship, Nemesis, was the leader.
A cybertronian from Cybertron, a robotic organism of silver and purple armor, broad shoulders and a large canon strapped to his right arm. His red optics narrowed at the skies that were shown on the screens in front of him.
His name was Megatron, Lord of the Decepticons and former Gladiator of Kaon.
He was a powerful mech, who only knew battle and war. Maybe once, he knew normalcy once but now it is no more. He was waiting for something, he didn't know what but he knew it was something...important.
What he didn't know was that today, his entire life was about to change.
Running into the bridge was Starscream, slightly out of steam.
"My liege, we are getting reports from Soundwave that there is a strange energy signature popping in and out." Megatron turned to his treacherous second in command.
"The same one?" He nodded.
"Yes, this is the third time this Earth week." He hummed, thoughts running through his helm.
His curiosity override his logical thoughts, "I will investigate myself, Starscream, you're in charge."
He turned to leave, the other Decepticons looked at their master in question but did not argue. He took to the blue skies, his form transforming into a alien jet as he headed for the strange signal, in the countryside of Britain in a small wooded area.
Britain, Countryside in a Wood…..
In the wood in a small clearing, was a field of flowers. These blue flowers slowly swayed in the wind. The sun and blue sky showed a good day ahead, no bad weather ahead. It was a perfect day, and peace and quiet was though quickly shattered by the sound of a jet engine.
Coming down from the calm sky was a large alien jet, before hitting the ground it transformed it a large robotic entity once more.
Megatron, took in the surroundings.
The field of blue flowers were unlike anything he ever seen before, contrasted to the greens and slight browns it popped like if Energon was exposed, only a deeper blue.
He didn't understand.
Where could the signal be coming from?
He began to walk across the field when he tripped on something unseen, falling onto the ground. He was glad none of his mech's were here to see that. He looked back to his ped to see a golden object sticking from the ground.
Still laying on the ground, he sat up and plucked the object.
It was a crown that wasn't fully connected, with line of Energon and a red substance running through it. It looked ancient and powerful and he could feel the energies radiating off of it.
Was this the signal?
Before he could stand, something caught his audio. Looking up he froze. Standing on the other side of the smallish clearing was a human girl, he took in every feature of her form.
She was a tall and lithe figure with striking red hair that was tied tightly in a bun. She wore a dress that seemed slightly out of date for the times, it was blue and green with puffed shoulders and a skirt that ended just above the ankle. She wore black gloves, her skin was pale with freckles dotting her cheeks as well she wore black boots.
But what struck him was her eyes, piercing green eyes that stared wide eyed back at him.
For a moment, the world stood still. The blue flowers dancing around both of them, seemingly locked into a contest of wills.
It was she that spoke first.
"Hello." A simple word that struck him, it wasn't a scream of terror or a question on what or who he was. It was greeting instead, which confused him the most.
"I-I…" He didn't know why he couldn't speak, it seemed like he was dreaming.
She smiled slightly, "My name is Eleanor Bella, what is yours?"
"Megatron." He forced his reply, this human was strange to him.
"I like your name, I must ask, what are you doing here Megatron?" He looked back down to the crown, then back to her.
A compulsion came over him, "I am here for this, it is from my home. But, I do not know what it does yet."
Why did he say that? His processor was lagging, or maybe, just maybe there was something about this girl that made him want to be truthful. He was a liar, but he felt something compelling him not too.
"Oh, well it's very beautiful….. are you okay though? I did see you fall earlier, you seemed frazzled to me." He looked back down, then quickly stood to his full height.
"I'm fine, it takes more than that to hurt me." She smiled.
"Right, someone made of metal, it must be harder than that I suppose, silly me." She shook her head before returning to the conversation, "Well, I am about to head to my home. Would you like to join me, Megatron?"
He hesitated, not knowing what her intentions were.
"Lead the way." His glossa acted before he thought and before long, he followed Eleanor through the wood until coming to another clearing also filled with blue flowers with a small cottage in the middle and a small barn.
She turned to him, "I'm going to make some tea, I'll be back in one moment."
Eleanor then walked into the small home and closed the door, Megatron vented.
"What is wrong with me?" He whispered to himself, he took another look at the crown.
He wondered what it did. There was only one way to find out, he slowly placed it on his helm. It magnetized to it before a white light blinded Megatron's vision. When the light was gone, he found he had closed his optics. He felt sluggish yet warm.
Slowly his vision came back to him only to see a wooden ceiling, he was confused only to sit up in a soft berth with a fabric over him. He froze though, staring into the mirror at the opposite side wall of the berth.
His optics were replaced with amber eyes, his metallic mesh was replaced by tanned skin with scars still remaining, he had a tuff of silver hair pushed back on top of his head. He was still built but no longer what he used to be.
He had become human.
The door opened, revealing Eleanor in different clothing, a simple red dress with a apron wrapped around her waist, the boots and gloves remaining. She smiled with concern.
"How are you feel, Megatron?" He stared at her wide eyed.
"What happened to me?!" He shouted at her, her concern never went away.
"When I came out with my tea, you were lying knocked out in the field. I knew it was you by the symbol around your neck." She motioned to the Decepticon icon wrapped around his neck on a silver and purple chain.
Megatron breathed, "The crown, it's a Crown of Changing. It was legendary were I came from, being able to change the wearers species and being able to make it permanent if the wearer chose."
"Megatron," Eleanor asked, "Where are you from?"
"How I can I trust you with that knowledge?" She looked at him sadly.
"I'm not other people, I live out here alone for reasons of my own." He nodded, but then the compulsion came back as he looked at her.
Though this time, he suppressed it.
"Maybe another time, right now, I must return to the Nemesis." He stood slowly, he noticed he was wearing a ceremonial military uniform, without the jacket as it was set to the side.
"Nemesis?" She asked as he donned the jacket.
"My ship, I have to report this to my troops." He walked through the simple home and to the front door, he made it down the porch before Eleanor asked him.
"Wait," He stopped and looked at her. "Will you come back, it's very lonely here, though I hate to admit it. Please, I just want to talk and we don't have to talk about you either, just other things?"
He paused before looking back to the setting sun that sat behind the tree's.
"I am curious about you Eleanor, who knows, maybe I will just come back. But, before I go, I must ask, what are these blue flowers called."
She smiled as she looked at the field.
"Their called Bluebells." He nodded.
"Bluebells, interesting, maybe I'll see you soon, Eleanor."
He concentrated back on his form, returning to his normal species. Taking the crown off and placing it in a secure place he took to the air as a jet again heading away from the fields of bluebells that were surround by the wood.
And the strange girl named Eleanor Bella.
