Chapter 1

Darkness. That's what wakes me from my unawareness, sounds strange, but it kind of was that way. That was the first time I could actually understand that I was in the black, no longer in the white.

It was strange.

Yet it didn't last long, only a matter of seconds, for suddenly, a light burst through my cocoon of peace, making my optics peel open for the first time in what felt like forever.

"That's it, follow the light…"

I recognised that voice, from a long time ago, yet I was too groggy to place a face with the sounds.

I wanted to ask who this mysterious person was, whether they were Autobot, Decepticon or neither. I prayed to the all spark it wasn't a hostile waking me.

"Come on, Oasis,"

Well, whoever it was knew my name. I was about to ponder if that was a good thing or bad when the light split my optics open, allowing a strange new location to fill my vision, then he stepped into my field of vision.

"R…R…Ratchet?" I whispered huskily, my voice box rusty after a period of silence.

The old red and white Autobot smiled down at me, his face as warm and wise as I remembered from my time as a sparkling.

"You've come quite some distance, young one," he rested a hand on my shoulder pad, "The years in stasis has made you even more beautiful."

I returned his smile, then froze,

"Stasis?" I repeated as Ratchet helped me into a sitting position, "For, how long?"

Ratchet rested his chin on one large fist, his classic "I'm thinking" pose, before stating,

"I would say thirteen eons; you are now twenty- correct?" I nodded a reply, "Your pod was released from Cybertron's atmosphere during the last battle before our planet fell."

My optics widened,

"Cybertron fell? The Decepticons took over!" No, that couldn't have happened, my father-

The medic bent down before me,

"Oasis, listen, Cybertron went dark and we all abandoned it in order to find a new home, Autobot and Decepticon- and we did- a distant planet related to our own called Earth." He smiled at the memory, "But Optimus lead us to defeat Megatron-" I cut him off,

"Optimus destroyed Megatron!" I almost squealed in delight, but that wasn't my style, however, Ratchet interrupted, "No, it was in fact Bumblebee who delivered the final blow," he cocked his head, "You remember Bumblebee right?"

"The one you fixed the voice box of?"

Ratchet nodded and continued,

"We brought the life back to Cybertron and Optimus sent a call to all Autobots to return, you are just one of many, young one."

"Ratchet?" a new voice entered my hearing, a femme one this time, older than myself, and as the new Bot stepped into my line of sight, I let out a gasp,

"Arcee…" I muttered in total awe, I mean- she is the fiercest femme warrior on Cybertron, therefore, my obvious choice of heroine.

The blue and pink warrior turned in my direction,

"Who's the new one?" she didn't address me- but Ratchet instead, and that really ticked me off. I was not a sparkling anymore, but a fully grown Bot, ready to re-join the Autobot cause.

My friend opened his mouth to speak, but I got my words out first,

"My name is Oasis, and I can speak for myself."

To my relief, Arcee looked entertained, not annoyed at my tone,

"You hit the ground hard Oasis," my heroine stated, "You've been out for nearly two cycles."

I shrugged; the pounding of my cranium could tell me that.

Smiling, Arcee moved closer,

"Shame you missed all the action, it was one mean fight."

I transformed my hand, bringing out my short sword, one I had worked on during my time conscious in the escape pod,

"So I worked on this for nothing?" I laughed humorously, "I wanted to prove myself to myself to him, Ratchet, but in the end I haven't had the chance." I retracted my blade, "Well- maybe some other time, hey Ratch?"

The medic looked down at his armoured feet, for some reason appearing lost, yet my attention was transferred to Arcee as she cocked her head,

"So… you two know each other?"

I exchanged a glance with the now sheepish Ratchet.

He hadn't told anyone… I was going to kick his plated behind later on…

"Arcee, Oasis is my God daughter…"

I will now always remember the expression which followed; Arcee's jaw dropped, her optics wide and she became incapable of speech for a short time, before she was able to pull herself together and stammer,

"Y..you have a… Goddaughter?!"

I grinned,

"Yep."

Ratchet gave a deep laugh, but froze at Arcee's dark glare.

"So you failed to mention this? Throughout everything that's happened?"

My Godfather held up his hands in mock surrender,

"Now, now, Arcee, her father said we had to keep it between the three of us and no one else."

The femme crossed her thin arms, her optics narrowing,

"So not even your friend, the great Optimus Prime, knew?"

Ratchet's mouth hung open, as if he were attempting to catch some small flying vermin, so I saved the helpless Bot by replying for him,

"Of course the big O knew," I sighed, but the warrior's face turned steely,

"That's no way to speak about Optimus!" she hissed, but I interrupted her by raising a hand,

"I can speak about Optimus however I want," I folded my arms at eth exact moment she put hers on her hips. "He's my father."

For that, Arcee held no words…

OPTIMUS PRIME HAS A DAUGHTER? WHO SAW THAT COMING? *put your hand down Ratchet...*

HOWS SHE GOING TO COPE WITH THE NEWS OF HER FATHER'S DEATH?
