So this is the sequel to Unexpected! I've decided to call it Unpredictable, because I liked that name the most! Oh, and by the way, you should probably read "Unexpected" first before this, or it'll probably make zero sense, at least as the chapters continue. Or at least the last chapter of Unexpected, that would probably help.
*Squeals* I'm so excited for you guys to read it, I've been working forever on this new plot! And btw, this is post RTOF and pre- DOTM, if anyone was wondering.
But now, onto the story!
Chapter 1: Translucent
I was floating out in the vastness of space again. I groaned, rubbing the fatigue out of my eyes as I scanned my surroundings, barely dodging a comet that came hurtling by. Yep, definitely outer space.
"Hello?" I called out weakly, my voice was terribly hoarse for some reason, "Primus? Are you here?"
Stars around me all swirled and then morphed into Primus, and she seemed oddly smaller than I remember. Probably it was because the last time I've actually seen her was when I was dying as a human. But now, I don't know if I'm dead or dying. Which sucks. I mean, that means I'd never get to say goodbye to Becca...or Sunstreaker. Even though she seemed smaller, It was still painfully obvious that I was short, only reaching to her hips, which still annoyed me a bit.
Primus smiled, "I am here, child."
"So," I paused, before taking a deep breath, "Am I...dead?"
The edges of her faceplates seemed to twitch into a frown, and my spark fell. It was silent for a long moment, before she finally sighed, her brilliant blue optics casting a glow, "You are not dead, but...you aren't quite alive in the physical world."
I raised an optic ridge, "What?"
Primus averted her gaze, "Macey, I did everything I could to help you defeat The Fallen, and you succeeded, which I am very proud of you for, but he damaged your spark chamber beyond repair. Your spark could not have survived, but I could manage to keep you here with me, in the translucent world."
My helm was throbbing, I couldn't understand what she meant. "So, you mean to say that I'm not completely dead...but not alive either? Just translucent?"
"I believe they are called spirits on Earth."
My legs felt weak, and buckled under me and I almost fell, if it wasn't for Primus grabbing me at the last moment. I couldn't believe it; I was gone. Not dead, but still not around the people that I loved and cared for in the whole universe. I was a ghost, a spirit!
"I know that you are distraught Macey-"
"Of course I'm distraught! I never even got to say goodbye!" I stared up at her, and if I could still cry, tears would be streaming down my face, "Primus, you told me that I was the Earth's protector. I can't do that If I'm s-some type of ghost or whatever! What about Becca? She needs me!"
"Macey," Primus said softly, "I do not want to upset you more than you already are, but the mission was to protect Earth by defeating The Fallen. In order for you to do that, you needed to be awoken of your true self, and your destiny."
"But now that The Fallen has killed me?" I asked.
We both watched as another comet, burning brightly came flying by. I know there's not a lot of heat in space, but for some reason it felt oddly warm, or maybe it was just me.
"I can't send you back to your original frame, Macey."
"What about if I went back as a human? Could I do that?"
Primus shook her helm, "You were never a human in the first place, I can disguise you as one and send you to Earth before, but you were still alive then."
I stared down at the large metallic planet. There were no more explosions, just an enormous dull gray planet. All life was gone from it, and now the people of its planet were scattered across the galaxy. Now that the Allspark was lost, they're planet, my planet could never be revived. Just rebuilt.
I was snapped out of my gloomy thoughts as an idea came to mind, I looked back up at her, "Primus!"
She looked down at me, her misty optics still full of sadness, "Yes, my child?"
"What if I was just rebuilt?"
"You want another body?"
"Anything would be better than being some stupid spirit. Oh, no offense." I added quickly, smiling nervously.
Primus tilted her helm slightly, probably contemplating my proposal, before nodding, "I can create you another body, yes. And you will have all the memories of your previous one, but the others will not recognize you. Your spark signature will be altered because I will have to use something a little more powerful than the Allspark to bring you back."
I nodded, eagerness building up inside me, "I can accept that."
Primus smiled, "Then close your eyes my child."
And I did exactly what she told me to. The eery darkness turned into blinding white light, as I felt myself changing around me, before the atmosphere burning with unfathomable heat before everything went blank.
"Hello?"
I groaned again, my helm ached with pain, from where I don't know. In fact, everything fragging hurts. Where am I? Blinding white light was flashed in my face, and I rolled over, shielding myself from the light.
"It's responding." A voice murmured off in the distance, but my vision was so messed up that I could see anything but blurry figures and blinding white light.
"What is it?" Someone else asked.
"I don't know," The other person had said, "It just fell out of the sky, like that. Scared the crap out of the cows, I'll tell you that."
Cows? What cows?
Finally, my vision cleared enough that I could see that the many blurry figures were actually just three humans standing on top of my chest. One was a man with a large straw hat on, another had a long beard, with curious gray eyes and the woman was the short, and plump with warm brown eyes and a smaller, straw hat on. They all had on dirty, oversized overalls. Uggh, my head still hurts.
"It's...looking at us." The man with the beard said slowly.
"Should we call authorities?" The woman asked, her face growing worried and panicked.
"N-No..." I managed to get out, which scared the living slag out of all of them.
The woman screamed, while the man with the straw hat held a unusually sharp pitchfork near my face, "Back off, before I kill ya!"
I shook my head weakly, "N-No, I...don't w-want to hurt...you."
His eyes narrowed, and he gripped the pitchfork harder, "And how do we know you ain't lying?"
"My name is M-Macey. I am an Au-Autobot." I stammered.
"An Auto-what?" The man with the beard asked.
"Autobot." I breathed out.
"What're those?" The man with the pitchfork demanded.
"You think it's those new robot things Russia's been trying to make," The man with the beard suggested, "Maybe this was a failed test or something."
"No," I said, getting annoyed quickly, "I-I'm not a robot! Well, uh actually I-I am a robot, but I'm not from Earth. I'm from outer space."
"An alien?" The woman squeaked.
I nodded quickly.
"Oh Joshua, what should we do?" The woman asked, looking on the verge of bursting into tears.
"I still think it's Russian." The man with the beard muttered.
"I'm not an it." I snapped.
"Tell me robot," The man with the pitchfork spoke up again, "Where'd you come from, and how did you get here?"
I sighed, "Well, it's a long story..."
And there you guys go! The first chapter of the sequel! Hoped you like it, please review!
