Vehicon journey: Meaning of life

Prologue: The broken car

It was all dark for him. He couldn't see anything and he couldn't move for a while. The only thing he knew was that something was touching his circuit and his inner part. He could feel something burning some part of his body but nothing more. It was all vague and confusing for a while.

Warning...Processor malfunctioning.

Beginning of reboot.

He felt once again in the darkness. After a minute, he once again felt something touching him with some hint of voice he couldn't understand.

Processor functioning at 50% capacity...70%

He was now aware of what is going on. He cannot hear the voice, but he can finally see what's going on. His processor cannot work with his audio receptor for now. He saw two humans under him thanks to a mirror near them in contact with his body.

The younger human is a Caucasian man who is 5,9 ft. tall. He has short brown hair on his head. He has a scar under his left eyes from an injury. His eyes are crystal blue. He has a muscular body. He wears a red T-shirt and a black jean when he wanders around.

The other one is older than him and he wears an uniform clothe. He is also a Caucasian man, but he is 6,1 ft. tall and a little fat. He has short blond hair on his head except some part of it. Some other part of his hair is gray, showing that he was starting to age. His blue eyes looked at his son working and giving him some advice.

"Alright son...I can see you're making a lot of progress. We are now repairing the radiator, so you better let me do that part for now Albert." Said the older man.

"Alright father." Said the younger one named Albert. His face was covered with a little oil.

He backed away and his father started working. Albert looked at the car with a small smile.

The car was partially restored, but he could see the beautiful form of the car. His tired had been change by him. The black paint of the car has been restored and it gave a shine of beauty to it. It was hard to repaint it after repairing the dent. It had some purple paint on it that give it a cool design. It was hard to see inside the car, but he could see how beautiful it was inside. Being a car lover, he felt instantly in love with it. One thing bothered him a lot.

At the same time, the car could finally hear them again. His audio receptor was online again.

"I wonder who the idiot who completely wreck this car is? How could anyone do such a thing to a masterpiece like this?" Asked Albert.

"I don't know, but when you call me, I looked at it and around. I don't feel like it was a car accident. Someone must have vandalised it before abandoning it." Said his father. "Anyway...It took a week, but the repairs are almost over." Said the man with a smile.

"It's a good thing I'm technically on vacation. It's only the beginning of summer and I already work with you dad." Said Albert with a smile.

"I know son. You have a part time job remember." Said his father.

"I'm glad we were able to repair the car." Said Albert.

"Yeah...You wanted it to be repaired for it instead of putting it in pieces." Said his father. "I recognise that you were right. It's a fine car after all." He was also covered with dirt.

They didn't know, but the car they have brought in the garage is a decepticon, a vehicon to be precise. He wasn't moving at all, but he was listening to them. When he heard that he could end up in pieces, he almost gasped and surely interrupted their repairs on his body if it happened. He continued feeling the older one touching him and taking some piece of him apart, non-important one that gave him car performance only.

Activating inter analysis...Analysis complete.

Minor damage on most of the body with energon leak currently sealed.

Activating nanobots to complete the repairs.

He knew it will cost him in energon, but he wanted to be performant. Then he would...

Wait...I'm not in the Nemesis and they didn't try to contact me...Why?

Activating major analysis...Analysis Complete.

Decepticon chip has been severe and communication system gravely damage and unusable. Need replacement immediately.

Wait...I have no contact on the Nemesis...And no way of contacting them and them seeing me. The vehicon thought. What happen to me to end up- Oh...Yeah...I fight against the autobot...They almost got me...My first fight on this planet and I end up that way... How am I in my car mode? Maybe I'll never know...I could have change without thinking and being aware off. Lucky me.

He wasn't sarcastic when he talked about his luck. He could fell the luck on his side to have survived against the autobot in a big fight with minor damage except two things he secretly wanted to be dispose off.

The decepticon chip is used to detect the presence of all vehicons. They are so numerous that Megatron wanted to be sure that none of them escaped from his command. It was easy for one of them to disappear because of their numbers. He didn't have it anymore...He was dead to the decepticon.

He checked his energon supplies and he was at 52% right now. He was in stasis for a long time and he didn't use a lot of it and he didn't leak too much energon. He can only guess the humans closed it up fast. He continued feeling the touch and he felt a new piece installed in him and increased his performance to his normal level. He checked his system and the human have done everything they could. He wondered what they will do with him.

"Done. We've finally finish." Said Albert father.

"That was a long repair, but we are done." Said Albert.

His father pressed a switch and the car moved down to the ground.

"I think it needs to be clean up now." Said Albert. "I'll do that while you continue working. My shift was over for a while anyway."

"True. Remember that tomorrow is the day we are close." Said his father. "He cost 3 200$ for the repairs."

Albert looked at the car and he entered inside. He saw the key in the keyhole. He didn't know, but the vehicon had a key that did nothing, but let them believe that he worked with a key. He thought sometimes to blend in with humans, but he never had the courage to do it.

The vehicon felt the human sitting on the leather seat.

He is the first one who sit on me. I see his body squishing the seat a little, but I didn't have any receptor on it so I can only see him sitting. What to do now? My first thought is to run away, but with him inside...I don't know. It's too scary to try anything, so I'll stay offline for now. My body is still too painful to use it by myself or transform. His hands are put on the Steering wheel and I feel it. I have receptor on it. His hands are soft and squishy. He now knows why they were call squishy. He moved the keys to start me. I decide to remain silent and play along with him. I have to make him believe that I am a normal car. I do not know what will happen to me if he found out about my existence. I cannot be on the news of any TV show. The autobot and the decepticon will know that I'm alive. Thought the vehicon.

The human drive the vehicon outside and rolled near a spot where he could wash the car. He went out of the vehicon and then took the water hose and he spread water on it.

The vehicon felt the cold water on his exterior and it felt it good. The cold water was cleaning him up and he couldn't help, but like it. He forced himself not to purr. It was the first time in existence that he was clean that way.

It was the moment he thought about his situation and what to do now.

He knew that he was damaged by the autobot and lost contact in any way with the Nemesis. He knew that the humans repaired him. He knew he couldn't hurt the humans who helped him. He had no one to force him to hurt living being so he had no reason to do it. He was also grateful to save his life in a way. He knew that it will be troublesome to find energon, but there is a lot and his kind didn't extract a lot of it for now. He also was created with the ability to detect energon in his system, which he still didn't know how it was possible.

He was always different from the other vehicons. He was much more aware of his existence, often wondering who he was and what his destiny was. He was also wondering if the war was a just cause. He never say it out loud, he knew he would be offline if spot out asking those questions. His most important question, what is the meaning of life? He always wondered why he was online. It always bothered him and he never found the answer, he shouldn't even feel the desire to ask it.

He knew that he was a coward and that he always wanted to run away from the war and from the battles. Every time he fought, he always thought that he was going offline and always prayed Primus to let him stay online and sometimes even begged him. He was so afraid of his demise. His near offline experience against the autobot was enough for him.

He thought about it for a second and he realised something. He had no contact with the decepticon and they couldn't find him as if he was offline. Primus answered his prayers. He was finally free. He realised why the water felt so good on him, why the repairs didn't bother him like the usual. He was free from the decepticon and consider out of the war.

Even so, he wasn't an idiot. He had to remain careful. If he was spot out, he's offline for sure. The autobot will offline him without mercy and he will be executed by the decepticon for treason. The price of freedom was high for him.

He then felt something moving on his body and he saw that the human was washing him with bubble water now. He looked at it and it was a kind of soap to clean better than with water only.

The human father walked near his son.

"How's it going?" Asked his father.

"It's doing good...Dad...What are we going to do with this car?" Asked Albert curiously.

"We could sell it to an owner." Said his father.

Albert wasn't sure about it. The vehicon saw his face and he knew he had another agenda for him.

"What if I keep him?" Asked Albert. "No one is going to search for this car. It was almost completely destroy and it was there for a while. I'll pay for the repair if you say yes." Suggest his son with pleading eyes to his father.

His father looked at him unsure. He knew he was responsible enough, but it was a fine car and he wasn't sure because it is a beautiful car that attracts attention and thief. His son had repaired it after all.

The vehicon wanted for them to just go away so he could roll to freedom.

He wasn't sure if it was alright when he suddenly had a second thought. Maybe it was better if he stayed; he would have a shelter in a way and a spot where he could return.

"Alright. You better take care of it." Said his father. "I don't want it to end up in pieces."

The vehicon silently gasped.

"I never did to your car. I will have no reason to borrow yours anymore." Said Albert. The vehicon was relief to hear that. "Thanks father."

He then hugged his father with affection. He then continued cleaning the sentient car, which he still wasn't aware off. When he was finish with his exterior, he cleaning the inside of the car and the vehicon had to use all his will not to purr. His inside is more sensible than the outside and the friction of the hand on his inside was soft and he liked it.

After he was clean, the human stayed in him for a few seconds. He then heard a sound and he saw the human using a communication device.

"Hello there. This is Albert." Said the humans in him. "Alright! Where is the next one? Let me take note...Tomorrow at midnight. Alright. I'll be ready...I have my own car this time."

Albert closed up is Blackberry and he looked at his car.

"Alright. I'll bring you inside." Said Albert.

He drove him back in the garage and he let the car there. He walked away, but he stopped for a few seconds and turned around when a purr sound appeared for one second. He thought he heard something. He looked carefully and no sound was made.

"Must be my imagination." Said Albert.

He walked away and leaved the vehicon alone.
