Well here it is chapter 1 of my new story. I don't own any of the Transformers, just my OCs.
Chapter 1- Starting My Life Over
"Where's Shift?" Megatron yelled across the room at the other Decepticons.
"We don't know, Sir." Starscream answered, "None of us have seen her since last night."
"Very well then, we don't need her anymore." Megatron says, "But, today I'm leaving Cybertron in search of the Allspark. Starscream will be in charge until my return."
And with that Megatron left in search of the Allspark, not knowing that a certain Decepticon was wondering through the streets of Autobot City.
Somewhere in Space
Shift was flying around the dark void of space thinking of what has happened since she has joined the Autobots.
It was around a month ago that Shift had wondered off into Autobot City. She didn't know why she was walking this far into enemy territory, but it felt as if she was suppose to be here.
"Excuse me, but what is a Decepticon femme doing around this part of Cybertron?" A calm, but strong voice asked her.
"I don't know, but something told me I should come here." Shift answered.
"Well, you should probably head back to Decepticon territory before another Autobot sees you."
"But, I'm supposed to come here, my parents said I should come here to find out the answers I need to all the questions I have. I can't go back there, I'm afraid they might hurt me, again." Shift said in a quiet voice.
"Well then, if you don't wanna go back, then come with me. I can take you to Optimus and see what he can do." The stranger says as he grabs my hand and leads the way to Autobot headquarters.
"I never got your name."
"The name's Ironhide."
"Well, um, thank you, Ironhide for not arresting me or anything."
"Oh, and my name's Shift."
"Shift? That is a very unique name. I've never heard of transformer named Shift, but it's nice to me you Shift." Ironhide looks at her and then smiles as they continue on their way to the base.
Ironhide and Shift continued their way to the Autobot base in silence. Once they reached the entrance, everyone was staring at the young femme that Ironhide was bringing in. Shift hid behind Ironhide as though someone might attack, since she was one of the most dangerous Decepticons out there besides Megatron. Shift had the power to transform into anything she wanted to, and Megatron used her as their secret weapon against the Autobots.
"We are here, Shift." Ironhide says as he knocks on Optimus's door.
"Enter." Was the only answer they got, so Ironhide open the door and pulled Shift along with him.
"Optimus, sir, I have someone here who would like to talk to you." Ironhide gestures at Shift who is still hiding behind him.
"Very well, you may leave, Ironhide, while I talk with her." Ironhide did what he was told and left the room.
"What is your name, youngling?" Optimus asks.
"My name is Shift." She answers quietly.
"Well, Shift, take a seat." Shift sits down as Optimus continues, "Now, why is it that you're here, Shift?" He asks in a gentle voice.
"I'm here because my parents said I should come here to find out what my real life is."
"Who are parents, Shift?"
"They were Firestorm and Raptor. They were Autobots at the beginning of the war, but they were killed by Decepticons. They said they worked along side of you and said you could help me."
"I knew your parents very well, Shift, and I'm sorry to hear about what happen to them. I also remember that night they were killed. I sent out a team to go check out what had happened and when they got there, there was no one but your parents left. So, what happened to you, Shift?"
"All I can remember is the Decepticons taking me and they raised me to be a Decepticon. But, I know that being a Decepticon isn't what I'm suppose to be, and I'm suppose to ask you if there was some way I could join the Autobots." Shift says with a questioning look on her face.
"Well, you would have to go through some training with some of the Autobots before I can make that decision. But, I'm sure you will have no problem going through the training." Optimus smiles at her, "Now, I'll get you a place to sleep, and I can have Ratchet remove your Decepticon symbol right now, but only if you want to."
"I would love to get rid of this thing!" Shift smiles big at the thought of following in her parents' foot steps into becoming an Autobot.
"Now, run along, Shift. You'll start your training in the morning with Ironhide. He can show you a few things about your weapons."
"Okay, thank you so much, Optimus, and I promise I won't let you down." Shift yells as she runs out of Optimus's quarters.
But, as soon as she walks out into the hall, she runs into Ironhide.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Shift. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"So, where are you headin'?" He asks her as he helps her to her feet.
"I'm heading to Ratchet; I think that's his name, to see if he can remove this Decepticon symbol on my chest."
"Here, I'll help you get there, since you probably don't know where the medical bay is."
"Oh, okay, thank you Ironhide."
"No problem, Shift."
They walked through the halls in silence, with pretty much everyone staring at her. She just kept on smiling as they made their way to the medical bay.
Ironhide knocked on the door and Ratchet came stumbling out asking what he wanted.
"We have a new recruit here who wants to get something removed." Ironhide says as he points at Shift.
"Ahh, so this is the famous Decepticon femme, but what are you doing here?"
"The name's Shift, not Decepticon femme." Shift answers with a stern look on her face, "And I'm here because I want to become an Autobot, but first I want to remove this Decepticon symbol from my chest."
"Very well, follow me and I'll get that remove." Ratchet says as he gestures her into his medical bay.
Ironhide waited outside the medical bay so that he can show her around once she's done.
After about 30 minutes, Shift walks out of the medical bay with no symbol on her chest. She walks just around the corner to see Ironhide sitting there.
"Hey, Ironhide."
"Hey, Shift." He says with a smile, "Mind if I show ya' around the base?"
"No, that would be great." She answers with a big smile on her face.
Ironhide showed Shift around the whole base and soon they were to Shift's new quarters, which was just down the hall from Ironhide's.
"Thank you, Ironhide, for everything that you've done today." Shift says as she gives him a kiss on his cheek and wishes him goodnight.
Ironhide was left speechless as her door closed behind her. He had just met this femme and he was already starting to like her. Maybe tomorrow he would ask her to go do something with him, but for now he would have to think about what that something is that they should do.
The next morning, Shift was up and ready to go train with Ironhide. He showed her how to use her weapons and all kinds of other stuff that the Decepticons didn't teach her. After her training session was over, Ironhide asked her if she wanted to go get some energon with him.
"Sure, I'd like that."
After that, they started seeing each other each night, and soon they started to develop feelings for each other. But, before they could go further with their relationship, Optimus had ordered a team of Autobots to go to some planet called Earth. Shift heard that Optimus had found out that the Allspark was there and that a young boy had the key to finding it. So, he sent out a scout to find the boy, and now that he has, he sent a signal up to Optimus, meaning that he had done his job.
But, sadly Shift was still in training, so she wouldn't be coming along. So, that night Ironhide asked her if she wanted to be his sparkmate and she said yes. They sparkbonded that night, and the morning after Ironhide was already gone.
So, here she is now, flying through space trying to find this planet called Earth. She had completed her training and now wanted to find the Autobots and her love, Ironhide.
Well there you have it. So, what did ya thing? I know it might have sounded confusing in the beginning, but the first part is the day after Shift leaves, and then when she's flying around space, she looks back to the day when she ran into Ironhide. So there you go, I hope that can help you. Do you think Shift will make it to Earth? Until next chapter, bye and don't forget to review
