This is a fic that came to me, a while back, it might be good, but it might not, all depends. This will be an on/off project too, since I've got so many fics to do. Well enjoy the prelude.
Prelude
Hard Life
It's been so many stellar cycles since he saw them last, so many stellar cycles since he's heard their laughs, seen their smiling faces, and felt their warm embraces. It feels as if it were a lifetime ago, yet, even as time went on, and everything changes, he still missed them to this day. They were his first family, but they would not be his last.
Only ten thousand stellar cycles after they were gone, did he enter into the Autobot Academy, and then his next journey began. He made two great friends; they became a brother and a sister to him. They did almost everything together, studied, had fun, and even just enjoyed the simple things. They were his second family, if only for a brief time. However, as that brief amount of time continued, his brother wanted to bond to the sister, sadly though he lost his sister in an accident, and his brother blamed him for the loss of her life.
It was on that day, did he lose his second family. However, on the day of his trial, his brother placed all of the blame on him, even when it was his idea they went to that planet. It hurt him at the time, and even after a thousand stellar cycles, the pain is still there from his brother's betrayal.
However, only a short time after his sister's death, about three cycles, did his surrogate father give him a second chance. It wasn't glamorous, and he was glad it wasn't. He was given the title of Prime, and put in charge of what he thinks of now as his third family. They were a broken down space bridge repair crew, all males. They were only a group of five, until they met a ninjabot who was meditating near one of the Space Bridges they had to fix up.
The ninjabot had complained a little about not getting his way, and being confused about the path he was on. The Prime understood, about the path you choose being more twisted than you first imagined. So he offered for him to join their crew, if only for a little while. The ninjabot had accepted, and in time became part of their team, their family, as the Prime sometimes thought.
Their lives weren't perfect, glamorous, or very fulfilling, but the young Prime liked it sometimes, and at others. He'd miss the days of his first family, and prayed to Primus that he'd one day get over the loss of his first family and be able to move on completely.
His name, is Optimus Prime, and is the sole survivor of his entire family, thanks to both the Decepticons, and the Autobots.
Well that's it, if you like, then please review or fav, it's all up to you, until a new chapter, I will write what I can, and I will also try to update as many of my fics as I can, since I have too many to work on at once, many will be on HIATUS until I get off my sorry aft to write more. And until then, later :D
