I woke up at the sound of someone calling my name.
"Time to get up, Rob!"
I roll to my right, facing the door.
"I'm up!" I reply.
It's Tuesday. Nothing special. I lay there in my bed, passing time.
Five minutes later, I finally decide to get up.
I change out of my Pajamas into dark gray jeans, a black T-shirt with a headphone pattern and a hoodie with the Quick Silver logo on it. I put my glasses on, which have a flame design etched into them, colored black on a gray background. Then I reached over the of my bed and unplugged my Nintendo 3DS.
Turning my 3DS on as I head into the hallway, I run a check list through my head to make sure I have everything I need from my room.
Satisfied with my results of having everything, I go into the kitchen and grab the box of Froot-Loops cereal, a carton of milk along with a bowl and a spoon and sit down at the table to eat it while listening to the morning news on the TV.
After finishing my cereal, I put the dishes and food away before grabbing my backpack from the Game Room, a section of the living room which I use the most. Taking my backpack to the kitchen, I open it, pull out my lunch kit and put the sandwich mom made me in it, along with some granola bars. Sticking my lunch kit back in my backpack, I put it by the door and grab my Skullcandy headphones off my computer in the Game Room.
Checking the time, I find that it's 7:27 AM. Seeing this, I look out the porch window to see the bus coming down the North road, aproaching mine. So I walk over to my mom, who is at the coffee table on her laptop in front of the TV and give her a hug.
"Love you, see you after school." I say.
"Love you too, bye-bye." She replies.
"Bye-bye." I respond.
Then I head for the door and go outside. I look to my right around the house to see the bus halfway down the road. I break into a run, and bolt down the rocky driveway, meeting up with the bus on the gravel road just as it stops and opens the door. I look at him and wait for him to nod before continuing to run across the road and climb up into the flat-nose bus.
"Good morning." The bus driver greets.
"Good morning." I greet. I walk down to the very back of the bus,and sit down in the second last seat to the right.
As I sit down, the bus door closes and I pull out my MP3 player and turn it on. I plug my headphones in and start the random bunch of music my brother got me, which consists of Iron Maiden, Metallica, AC/DC and some Lynard Skynard as well.
Half an hour later, the bus reaches a small town to pick up more students. I get up and head three seat up and on the left side of the bus. The elementary kids get off before the Middle and High-School students start getting on. Eventually I see the kids I have sit with get on. He gets to where I am and tries to make me sit on the window side. I get out and make him go on the outside of the seat. He reluctantly goes in, and I explain why he had to get the window spot after sitting down.
"I'm grade 9, dude. You're grade 6. I get off before you do because the bus route, so it makes more sense if you're on the out of the the bus while I'm by the hallway. Plus, you seem to be incapable of keeping your legs out of the hallway, so there's a better reason if you need it."
"Yeah, whatever." He replies.
I pull out my 3DS and start my Transformers prime game. One it's booted, I go into the multiplayer mode to fight with the AI, and randomize the characters to be in the battle.
I start out as Starscream, fighting Soundwave, Megatron and Dreadwing in the Energon Mine. The battle starts, I transform and head straight for Megatron who is on my right. He fires 4 shots at me before transforming and attempting to use his vehicle attack on me. But I was faster. I perform a successful vehicle attack on him.
"No!" he yells, as I send him into a pit below.
Dreadwing attempts to side swipe me with his vehicle attack, but I barely escape.
I transform and turn backwards, flying the way I just came. Soundwave flies past me as I do so, heading for Dreadwing. Megatron respawns and heads for Dreadwing. I fly around and go after Soundwave. I transform and charge my missiles, only to find that Dreadwing has thrown him into the same pit I knocked Megatron into.
Megatron comes up from behind me, turns me around and punches me in the face, then delivers and uppercut to my chin and punches me in the chest. This sends me into the outer pit. Soundwave groundbriges, transforms and heads for Dreadwing. I respawn with 4/5 of my health.
Dreadwing transforms and flies around me.
"Deal with me!" I taunt as I charge up and fire four missiles at him. All of which miss. I transform and try to catch him, but he flies right in front of me. I transform and land on the center platform.
"Deal with me!" I repeat as I charge up and fire four more missiles at Dreadwing. Once again, they all miss, smashing into the outer wall. Soundwave flies past me and smashes a box of Energon, recovering some of his health as I transform and fly towards Megatron. I use my vehicle attack on him, knocking him to the floor. I land beside him and wait him to get up.
He gets up and tries to get away, but he couldn't. I claw him with my left arm, then punch him with a charged right fist, sending Megatron off the platform. Soundwave sends Dreadwing down the pit. Megatron groundbriges behind me, and Dreadwing opposite of him. I transform and turn towards Megatron, but he rushes me and uses his vehicle attack on me. I'm knocked backwards into the pit. Just as Megatron hits me, Soundwave shoots him and he's knocked to the ground.
"AaaaaAaaaahh!" I scream as I fall down the pit. Megatron gets up and heads straight for me as I groundbridge back onto the battlefield. Dreadwing flies overhead. I swipe at Megatron with my left servo, but he jumps and tries to punch me in the head. I put up my shield and he glances off it. I slash him with my left servo, jump and then dive at him with my arms crossed. He crashes to the ground. I swipe at Megatron again, but before I can finish my combo, Soundwave flips upside down and tornado's at me in the air. I fall to the ground. Megatron upper cuts Dreadwing into the air, then slams his fist into Dreadwing's chest as he comes down.
I pick myself up, transform and go after Soundwave. Soundwave charges up and shoots Megatron. He faces me and charges up again. But before Soundwave can shoot, I vehicle attack and X slash him in the chest. Dreadwing goes after me, but I go over him as I knock Soundwave into the outer pit.
I transform and had to the inner platform to check for Energon containers to regain some health. There are none, but there is a box of Synthetic Energon used for upgrading attack for a short period of time. Looking at my Charge meter I see it's only half full, so I transform and smash the box, grabbing the spherical container and consuming it. Just as I smash that box, an Energon box spawns beside me. I walk over and smash the box with a left slash and pick up the cube and consume it just as my projectile sensors go off.
I put up my shield and nothing happens. I turn it off and turn to my right to see Megatron punching Soundwave as Dreadwing flies past me. I fly towards Soundwave, who just got up.
"Out!"I Yell as I vehicle attack him with an X-slash.
I see Dreadwing fly over me. Following where he's going, I see Megatron right beside me. I turn and slash him, then punch him in the back with a charged right fist. This sends him flying over the edge. Dreadwing transforms and tries to hit Megatron as he's falling, but I transform and go after him. He turns towards me as I try to slam into him with my alt mode. I miss and fly right past him. Transforming and charging my missiles, I turn around to see Soundwave shoot Dreadwing as Megatron flies past me.
"Take this!" I yell as I fire my four charged missiles at Soundwave, sending him over the edge. As I try to hit Dreadwing from the rear as he gets up, Megatron attempts a flying punch on me but misses. Dreadwing turns around and slams his giant gun onto my head, knocking me to the ground. I get up and turn on my shield. Running away, I turn to hit him, but he fires a charged shot at me.
"AaaaaAaaah!" I scream as Dreadwing's shot goes through my shield and hits me, knocking me to the ground. Megatron comes up behind Dreadwing, punches his back with his left fist, then slams him into the air with his right.
"Aargh!" Dreadwing yells as Megatron spins around and upper cuts him in the back.
"Aarah!" He yells again when Megatron jumps up and smashes Dreadwing down beside me.
I attempt to hit Megatron when he activates his Synthetic Energon Upgrade, shocking me.
"Bow before Megatron!" He yells as he charges past me and straight for Dreadwing who just got up. Dreadwing smashes Megatron to the ground. I slip past his falling body and slash Dreadwing, then transform and fly off as Megatron gets up and smashes Dreadwing in the face. I fly around and land on the center platform and turn around to face Megatron and Dreadwing.
Dreadwing is hitting Megatron with his cannon while Soundwave flies around behind them. I transform and head for Soundwave. I miss him. I turn around to see Megatron running towards Dreadwing who just groundbridged while Soundwave transforms and flies past my right. I turn around the get Soundwave when Dreadwing tries to hit me with his vehicle attack, but missing me altogether. Megatron flies underneath me with Soundwave way off to the outside of the map.
I fly over the center platform and turn around to see Soundwave shooting Megatron and Dreadwing away from him. I dive and come up behind him. With an accelerated X-slash I slam Soundwave into the ground, offlining him. Megatron is in my path, so I perform my main combo. Left slash, right slash, X-slash, jump and then dive at my opponent. My X-slash missed, but the force of the dive sent him into floor hard. Megatron transforms just as he hits the ground, turns and uses his vehicle attack on me. I hit the ground and he lands on his feet. He charges me as Dreadwing follows him.
I get up, turn, transform and fly away from him. Transforming again, I turn and charge my missiles. I lock onto Dreadwing and fire.
"Victory!" Megatron yells as he transforms and slams his body into mine, sending me into the outer pit.
"AaaaAaaahh!" I scream as I fall.
I groundbridge across the map from where I fell. Transforming, I rush over to Megatron and Dreadwing. Dreadwing transforms and tries to attack me with his vehicle attack, but I'm quicker, vehicle attacking with my X-slash, which makes him hit the ground and bounce off the platform.
"No!" he screams as he falls. I transform and head for the center platform. Noticing my full Synthetic Energon meter, I decide to go after whoever had the most health, who happens to be Megatron. I find myself being shot at, so I transform and fly around the entire map before landing on the center platform again. Megatron knocks Dreadwing a fair ways away. I go after Megatron and X-slash him with my vehicle attack. I ran off with my shield up and hoped for them both to come after me. And they did.
Dreadwing shot at me, and Megatron activated his temporary Synthetic Energon Upgrade again.
"This world will be mine!" He yells and he charges at me, knocking Dreadwing over.
"All shall behold Starscream!" I scream and start my own temporary upgrade and begin my special combo. I slash Megatron with my left servo, then caught Dreadwing with my right slash as well as Megatron. Dreadwing flew backwards, offline. Megatron is hit with another left and right slash, then, for the finally, I kicked him in the face with the heel of my right foot, offlining him.
"Hahahahaha! I am the new leader!" I taunted Megatron's lifeless body. then the match ended.
After a few more matches on Transformers Prime, we finely arrive at the high school.
I put my 3DS away as I wait for the bus to stop with my backpack in hand. The bus stops and I head into school.
The day goes by fairly quickly, starting with math learning about polynomials. Then Home Economics, cooking some mexican foods. Lunch starts at the end of class and I meet up with my buddy Nick and head to the computer room to watch some videos. I show him the newest MineCraft Snapshot containing Coal and Hay blocks, along with a couple other updates. Then its art, with us continuing our Pen and Ink unit, studying Chinese painting techniques. And finally ending with Language Arts, watching the movie Shrek for a fairy tale unit we're doing. School ends and I grab my backpack and head for the bus.
I get on the bus and play Transformers Prime untill I have get off the bus to switch to another one which will take me to the farm where I do my chores mile away from my house. Finishing the chores, I start on the mile-long walk home.
Some time later, I'm home. A white and light blue trailer serves as the house, a quanset across the yard and some barns off the the back of the lot, with feilds behind.
I head for the nearest barn and feed the cats calling for them as I go. bye the time I reach the barn, I have 2 cats and 6 kittens surrounding me, purring and meowing softly for food. I get in the barn and climb up onto the abandoned pig stalls, where I have some old wood and a shipping crate with cusions inside to serve as a house for them. On top of the crate is a metal pan from a grociery store for a food dish. I give them all a bowl of food, scratch each of them behind the ears and inform them of my love for cats, and head for the house.
In the house, I put my backpack down in the Game Room and get myself a pop from the fridge and sit down at my doorknob of a desktop to check my eMail. Nothing pops up, so I start watching random videos of RC cars and Transformers Prime Parodies.
Next thing I know, mom calls me for supper. I sit down and eat my supper, then go to bed and open up my 3DS, read FanFictions for an hour or so and go to sleep.
Well, that's the end of that chapter. It took me a month to finally decide to finish after writing the Transformer Prime battle. BTW, tell me if you think the last bit after needs to be lengthened, and I'll edit some more content in. When Reviewing, please give me something constructive if you want to see some particular thing happen. Also, I need help knowing what Genre this fits into.
Oh, and if you want to see your Transformer OC appear in my story, give me a PM telling me everything about them. Like their personality and stuff. Height, what they look like, all that stuff. I'm sure you get it. It'll be 3-5 more chapters before any Transformers are met in their true form. But please get your Character's holoform descriptions in by chapter 4 if they're medics.
Tell me what you think of my first FanFiction Story. I could really use help here to see what people want. All I have to go on right now is what I like, and for me, that's long chapters. I'm hoping to get the next chapter out by the end of June.
THIS STORY IS A SOME-WHAT CROSS-OVER OF CHARACTERS FROM BAY'S MOVIES, TRANSFORMERS PRIME AND TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED. An Author Note chapter will explain who is from which verse later on.
