CH 1: Unforeseen Outcome
To be honest, I have no idea how I got myself into this mess… On a life boat with some few others as the sun beats down on us. No food. No water. Just us, huddling on oneself for comfort as we await our deaths. Not even a proper sleep could spare us from this torture. One of us even got nuts as he threw himself overboard to get done with it. The women on board forced some tears out of their already dried eyes as the other men on the boat try to revive the guy.
I was somehow emotionless, what you call dead inside as I avert my gaze from the pitiful scene and settled to stare at the ocean's glittering surface. It dazzled me like a moth to some flame.
"Land! Land!"
A voice cried out waking me from my trance. I looked to where he was pointing at and indeed there was an island. Most of them who are still able to move, desperately paddled for shore. One of 'em was the guy who tried to drown himself, now with renewed hope. I let them do the work as I busied myself into staring back at the ocean's beauty.
Before the boat could even be docked to the beach's shore, some of 'em waded into the water somewhat struggling and ended up crawling on the sand and probably doing some sand angel while the others kissed it like there's no tomorrow.
I rolled my eyes at the scene knowing that our survival days has just turned into a whole new level. I scanned the shore which was rather occupied with machinery. The others think that the island is occupied by people and were scavenging through the metal piles and vehicles. I doubt humans live here. I can sense that it is too quiet as if no animal even resides here but I beg to differ. I recall spotting movement and a red light among the machines before we docked. I tried to look for that whilst following the rest of the group.
We passed this massive truck head disconnected to a skeleton of a trailer. Most of it was red with some black. Up front you could read the word MEGATREEN in bold capital letters with the colors: red, orange and yellow modeled after the flame's hue. And there I saw it, the only life I spotted on the shore. Clearly visible to me but not the others as they scavenge for some food or perhaps some equipment needed for our travel soon. While the others were already searching on the back of a van, I followed the movements of the other being among us and has revealed to be some kind of robot.
It was mostly purple and when I looked at its head, well… where I believe the head is supposed to be, had only one optic. Optic? Strange for me to say such a word when I could have simply described it as its eye. Although somehow, optic is the right term for it. In place of his left hand was a blaster and the bot appears to be ignoring our presence as it busied itself with whatever it was doing.
I climbed on top of the white van to see the bot carrying the truck head to be connected with the two adjacent metal skeleton of a trailer. Lucky me, the position of the head is facing me and kind of makes the van in the way of getting crushed. By lucky, I get to make myself known that I am more than the other humans. When the truck head was being eased down the ground level, I helped adjust it to settle on the right way and position. That took the bot to notice me – whom is aware of his presence!
I heard the guys behind me exclaiming to have found a GPS from a truck's cargo hold. It was more than just a simple GPS really and to their inability on how the device actually works, they haven't noticed the extra white dot on the device's screen which represents the bot. I simply shrugged as they left to go deeper into the island with all the useful equipment they have found. Instead of following them, I stayed and I believe that they simply didn't care since it would mean one less mouth to feed for them.
The bot was shocked from his newfound revelation and probably because of his "programming" to stay hidden had him quickly head towards a tool shed or he probably needed something from that shed. I also headed there but in a different entrance. I got in first on the shed's back door just in time to see the bot peek in.
"Hi!" I greeted simply as the bot transformed into some kind of vehicle inside the building.
He. It. Whatever… xP
Cybertronian terms will be written in who knows what chapters. Note that I still have no idea about these bots. Or do I? ;3
It's weird dontcha think? Well… I got this from a recent dream of mine (dated 7/3/17). I just added some parts to fill the gap and omitted few like when the others left me to go deeper into the island. Instead of a jungle or some greeneries which is the usual sight, it was more likely barren and gravelly. It even had some indications that the vehicles on the beach shore pass here. That kinda explains a van and a truck being there plus a massive truck being built there by our oh so mysterious bot. Any guesses who this mech is?
Cover page will be posted soon on my Deviantart account. (See my…I mean me and Draquilax's bio)
For now, I'll be using my art of Starscream Cackling xD
