TFA: The Spirit is the Spark
Prolouge
The best thing about coming back to life is that well, that you know that your alive! After I don't know how long of constant darkness, and not even knowing what is what anymore, when you can fell things, when you can see things, its like going to the Well of All Sparks and back! I don't know what happened, but all I could remember was the decepticons came down on us like a storm, they came to take the protoforms, and succeeded...
I remember Prowl, finding me almost offline after the ambush from Lockdown and his crew when they took the protoforms. I had been wandering the halls, thinking back to the last time he had told me goodbye...
Prowl had come running down the hall, a little sad but also a little excited. "Eagle Eye! Wait!" I turned to look at him and smiled; this bot would always have a special place in my Spark. "I..I..I'm going on an optics quest. I came to say goodbye before I left." My smile left my face and I looked at him saddened. I told him, "Its never goodbye, never. Its only farewell." I pulled him into an embrase for what would be the last time. I never knew that Lockdown would come to take the protoforms, or that I would see him one last time as I went offline.
He held me close and whispered, "I wanted to ask you something, but I think it would be best if I asked when I came back." He held me closer to him, and tighter, not about to let go. We had grown close to each other during the time he had been training with Master Yoketron. I lived on the training facilities like him, but I worked there as a gaurd, and helped to train some of the younger bots when Master Yoketron could not.
"Don't ever forget me, because I will come back." I knew that he would miss me, but he also had to go before Warpath decided to grumble at Master Yoketron about Prowl again. I pulled away from him and said, "I know you'll come back, but you need to go before your get in trouble for staying to long." I smiled and chuckled quietly, when he pulled me to him and kissed me. It was the first time he had in almost a steller cycle, even though he had told me his feelings about 5 steller cycles ago.
Prowl smiled when he pulled back and said, "Farewell.." He ran off, a smile plastered on his face. And that would be the last time I would see him happy, atleast for a very long time.
He had come back only a few mega cycles after the amubush. I don't know how he found me but he did. I had just finished off the decepticon who had shot me with his plasma cannon. The energy ball had gone right through me, past my Spark chamber, and into some of my hard drives. How I stayed online that long was miracle, but miracles last only so long.
He came over to me and held me in his arms. "No, no you can't go offline!" He kept yelling that over and over, and I put my hand to his face and smiled, and said in almost in a whisper, "I knew you would come back. Now it's my turn to make a promise to you that no matter what, I will..." I coughed, my vocal processors almost gone, "I will come back." My arm fell slowly from his face as I went offline, my optic lights when off and the color that every Autobot and Decepticon had, went to grey.
He held me sadly for a few more moments, when he put me down to find Master Yoketron, and to see what became of him. I remembered it as clearly as the Sun shines on Cybertron ever solar cycle. I remembered my promise, but how I kept it, was a total mystery to me. I had woken up, or what felt like waking up, in a box that fit my body. I felt so much pain, yet so much relief to be online, when everything hit me. I should have been offline, which meant I was in my tomb, and if I was online now, I would definetly need a medical officer.
I then opened my optics to a darkness like no other. I called out with my raspy vocal proccesors, "Hello? Is... is anyone there?" I tried kicking the roof of the box, when I heard voices, none them I heard very cleary and all of it was muffled. I kicked the box as best I could again, when I heard footsteps running over. They lifted the lid, grunts and moans came as they had trouble lifting the heavy thing, when light flooded my vision. I heard a vew gasps, but was suddenly lifted from the box and heard a voice I didn't reconize say, "What's your name cadet?" I replied raspily, "Eagle Eye, my name is Eagle Eye."
My vision was completely blury, but what I did see was a unfmailiar bot carrying me to what I guessed was some sort of medical ward, and telling a couple of younger bots with strange accents to alert Ultra Magnus. He ran with what I felt was worry, and he kept saying something like, "It'll be ok Cadet, your going to be ok," and of course, "I'm Sentinel Prime, and I'm going to make sure your going to be ok."
Everything went completely dark as he kept trying to keep me focused on him. I didn't know what happened after that, but all I could think was, "What happened to Prowl?"
