Chapter 1- Power of the Orbs

Okay, welcome to the new story! It won't last too long this time, but I have some ideas for future chapters, which is awesome! Speaking of chapters, I've decided to do a "one chapter per week" sort of thing. Since I hate Sundays and Mondays and Tuesdays are for me to recuperate from the terrible day I probably had on Monday, I'll use Wednesdays to post. Don't hold me to that, though.

Enjoy the first chappie!

For the past four days, Ratchet and I have been trying to convince Optimus to let me fight in the war, considering my new power. And after constant arguments with Optimus and wrenchless checkups, the Prime finally agreed. But of course, only on certain terms and conditions.

For one, I could only fight if I had the power of the Allspark mastered. I suppose this is reasonable enough. I mean, I don't wanna walk onto the battlefield all Willy nilly and get shot again. Two, Optimus had to watch me fight and from there, he would decide if I was ready or not. Okay… no problem with that. He's been fighting for a few million years, so I'm sure he is more than qualified to say whether I'm ready or not.

Surprisingly, those are his only terms, so Ratchet pulled me into the training room so that I could practice with the Allspark's power. Sam decided that he wanted to watch so that he can "watch me do something stupid and blow something up". I glared at him when he told me that, but continued to practice while imagining that the targets were all Sam.

So far, I could create shields and orbs. And that was pretty disappointing. "Spade, for the vessel of the Allspark, you should be able to do more than create orbs and shields."

I turned to him and created an orb, jerking my arm in his direction to make it seem like I was going to throw it. My brother jumped and ducked behind the bench. I snorted used the same orb to throw at another human shaped target, imagining it was Galloway's crotch. "Shit, for all you know, I can fly."

Sam snickered and came from behind his hiding spot. "That would be kinda cool."

Ratchet hummed from the side. He was watching me and taking notes about my aim and stuff like that. Optimus was in a meeting, so he said he would be here in a few minutes. "Let's try moving targets. Sam, I need you for this."

Sam stood up and walked over to Ratchet. The medic bent down and handed the freshman a stack of plates. I arched an eyebrow but said nothing. "You are going to throw these into the air and Spade is going to shoot them."

I grinned and created another orb. "That's awesome! It's like that thing… what's it called?" I put my other hand on my chin and thought for a second before giving up. "Oh well. Pull!" I yelled. Sam threw one of the plates and I threw an orb, nailing it perfectly. When the orb hit the plate, it left nothing in its wake. I whistled and signaled for Sam to throw another plate. Like the last plate, the orb destroyed it completely. "Ah! Skeet shooting. That's an unfortunate name."

After all the plates were gone and Ratchet finished his notes, the medic prepared another training station for me. "This is the more realistic training station. Here, you will do whatever you need to do to get to the red flag. It has our insignia on it. There will be mechs shooting at you. Don't get shot and make sure you take them out if you can. I want to see what you can do," Ratchet said. I nodded and put my hands on my hips, looking at the training station. It was pretty impressive, actually. The settings were holographic, but they still looked pretty realistic. We were located in a forest, which bothered me a little, but I chose not to say anything. "Spade, are you ready?"

"Yeah. Let's do this," I replied, but then I thought of something. "Wait! What happens if I do get shot?"

"Nothing. Their weapons are loaded with water balloons. The worst thing that could happen is you could be electrocuted by having some sort of technology on you." I checked my pockets and took out my cellphone and my headphones, tossing them to Sam. "Are you ready now?"

I nodded and the training began. I ran and ducked behind a rock. One of the Decepticons fired a shot right where I was standing before I hid. After that shot had been fired, I rose up and threw an orb at him, piercing his spark chamber. He dropped to the ground as I kept running. I barrel rolled when a rapid fire weapon was used by another 'Con that was somewhat hiding behind a large tree. I created another orb and aimed at the tree, knowing that it would penetrate it easily and go straight through the 'Con's head.

The hair on my neck stood up when four 'Cons were down because I knew that it wasn't over. Someone was still there. To prove my point, a water balloon hit the ground a few inches away from me. I looked up and noticed a 'Con was sniping from a small cliff. After that water balloon was fired, another shot was just as I found him, but this time, it wasn't a water balloon. Instead, it was a real bullet (which I would have to ask Ratchet about later), so I created an energy shield. The blast was absorbed by the shield and I took it and molded it into another orb, throwing it at the 'Con. The shot that hit the shield gave it a boost and added energy to the orb that I created from it. This was one of my newest moves that I had discovered about… twenty minutes ago.

When that 'Con was killed, I made my way to the flag. But before I could get any closer to it, another 'Con appeared out of nowhere. He looked at me menacingly holding a large weapon that looked strikingly similar to Megatron's fusion cannon. I grinned at him, using both hands to create two separate orbs. In my head, a plan was forming. Hopefully, these 'Cons were as dumb as the real ones.

Instead of using the orbs on the 'Con, I used them on two nearby trees, close to the bottom of their trunks. Both of them fell over in front of the 'Con, picking up dirt and dust from the trail that I had been using to get to the flag. The 'Con roared and searched for me as I climbed up another tree as quietly as possible. When I was situated on a sturdy branch, I aimed for the 'Con's head and fired. The orb went straight through the 'Con's head, offlining him. I jumped down from the tree and ran over to the flag.

"That was fun!" I yelled at Ratchet. What I didn't count on was Optimus and Ironhide sitting there and, the former looking at me with a proud smile and the latter looking at me with an impressed smirk. I stared at them for a second before putting my hands on my hips and closing my eyes. "How long have you two been standing right there?" I asked calmly. Ironhide shrugged.

"Ever since you started the station," the trigger-happy mech replied. I sighed sat down next to the pole.

"So, you saw all of that?" I asked, gesturing to each dead, fake, Decepticon. Optimus nodded and continued to smile warmly. I laughed and stood up, jogging over to the three Autobots and Sam.

"I must say, Spade, that was quite impressive," Optimus said. I grinned and waved him off.

"Thanks! Does that mean I get to fight with you guys?!" I asked excitedly. Ironhide's jaw dropped and Optimus shook his helm.

"You're gonna let her fight?" the black mech asked.

"Not yet." I pouted and crossed my arms over my chest. "You'll have to learn hand to hand combat and how to use a firearm before I let you fight."

"But that was still pretty awesome," Sam grinned. "High five!" I gave him a high five before Optimus lowered his hand for me. I stepped onto it before he lifted his hand up to his shoulder. Once I was situated on my favourite spot, he began to walk away.

"Same time tomorrow, Ratchet?" he asked. The medic nodded.

"Can I teach her some things, boss?" Ironhide questioned. "I mean, as your weapon specialist, I think I should." Optimus chuckled as I laughed.

"I think it's a good idea. Why not?" the leader replied.

"Oh, this is gonna be good." The three mechs and Sam laughed before we said our goodbyes and left the training room.

This time around, Optimus brought me to my room. I wanted to take a quick shower before doing anything else. It was standard routine for me. The Prime politely waited outside my door so that I could get dressed. I decided to wear black pajama shorts and a navy blue tank top. Though I wasn't planning on sleeping, I still wanted to lie in bed and rest for a few hours.

When I was done, I walked over to the door and opened it, revealing Optimus' holoform leaning against his alt mode. He looked back at the sound of the door and smiled lightly. "Come on in." Optimus came in and shut the door behind him. He walked over to me and took my hands in his.

"I'm really proud of you, Spade. That was impressive, especially since you've had no prior experience," he said.

"Well, there was that time in Egypt. Killed two 'Cons," I replied. He looked taken aback.

"Really?"

"Yep. All the more reasons for you to let me fight," I said slyly.

"No." I pouted as he brought one of my hands up to his lips and gently kissed them. "I don't want you to get killed, Spade. Don't worry. Based on what I've seen today, I think I will let you fight. Just not too soon. Three lessons each with Ironhide and I and I'll decide then."

I grinned. "You're gonna train me?"

"Of course. Hand to hand combat is essential."

"Yeah, this is gonna be really fun." Optimus smiled as I tilted my head and gently kissed him. When he kissed me back, his arms wrapped around waist and mine wrapped around his neck. The kiss steadily became deeper, making me thankful that neither of us had to stop to catch our breath. I tangled my fingers in his dark, navy blue hair as his tongue poked my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I gladly gave it to him, moaning softly as his tongue explored my mouth and—

The door flew open and I jumped, breaking the kiss to stare at the intruder. "Hey—oops." Sideswipe's holoform looked at the two us sheepishly as I glared at him.

"A long, long time ago, in a kingdom far, far away, there was this guy. He created something legendary called knocking. Have you ever heard of it?" I snapped.

What a lovely way to end a chapter and start a story. Haha. Anyway, let me know what you thought. Sorry this story was posted a little late. I got distracted. Forgive me for any spelling and grammar mistakes, if any, and I'll see you next chapter!

Denali Prime out!
