Optimus POV
I watched as Serenity ran away from my view. "Optimus do you really think it's a good idea to have her here?" Ratchet asked me. I looked over at him and nodded my head. "Yes it is important that she remains here until we can find the missing spark…" I said.
Sam looked up at me and shook his head slightly. "We need to find her, Optimus." He said. I looked at Sam and nodded. "I understand, it's best if I went and find her." I said.
Serenity's POV
I was sitting on the ground and held my knees close to my chest. My long brown blonde hair covered my face almost like a curtain. "Serenity?" Optimus called out. I flinched slightly at hearing his voice and sighed. "Are you hurt?" He asked concerned. I shook my head no and closed my eyes tightly. "How can we even confirm that I am part cybertronian?" I asked. Optimus thought for a moment and put his hand down at my level. I slowly stood up and gently climbed into his hand.
"Ratchet will have to do a few tests and scans to confirm it." He said looking down at me. I nodded my head as I let out a small laugh. "I always knew I was different but I didn't know how much different…" I said. Optimus let out a small chuckle as he looked down at me.
I heard a small humming sound as I leaned my head back against his index and slowly closed my eyes. "I wonder what that humming sound is… It's actually soothing…" I thought. After I fell asleep, I awoke to notice everything had changed. I wasn't in Optimus hand anymore but there was nothing but sand around me.
"Serenity… You have a fate that you cannot change… Optimus Prime is part of your fate, Serenity." A voice said. Before I could say anything I awoke with a start. I groaned slightly as I looked up to notice Optimus recharging. I let out a sigh as I leaned against his finger again.
"How can Optimus be a part of my fate?" I thought. As I was lost in thought, Optimus had awoken from his charge. "Do you feel better now?" He asked. I squeaked as I looked at Optimus. "Geez, don't do that to me and yes I do." I said. Optimus frowned slightly as he looked at me. "I'm sorry for startling you." He said.
I sighed slightly as I noticed that it was dark outside. "How long have I been sleeping for?" I asked. Optimus thought for a moment as he looked at me. "About a good 5 earth hours." He said. I nodded my head and then remembered the weird dream I had. "I had the weirdest dream… I was somewhere with a lot of sand and a voice told me that I have a fate that I cannot change and that you are part of my fate." I said.
Optimus almost had an unreadable expression; I couldn't tell if it was confusion or something else. "Indeed… It sounds as though you were visited by the Primes." He said. I blinked a few times as I moved my head to the side. "The Primes? Who are they?" I asked. "The Primes are the eldest leaders of Cybertron, but I'm confused on why they said I was part of your fate." He said.
I shrugged my shoulders as I also remembered the humming type sound that made me fall asleep. "Hey Optimus… What was the humming type sound I heard last night?" I asked curiously. Optimus chuckled slightly as he looked at me. "That was the sound of my spark or heart in human terms." He said. I nodded my head and smiled slightly. Ironhide made a sound and both Optimus and I turned our heads to him.
"Optimus, Ratchet wanted to run some tests on Serenity and also Major Lennox wanted to talk to you." He said. Optimus nodded his head and looked down at me. "I'll take you to Ratchet." He said. I nodded my head as I was scared to know if I was part Cybertronian.
As we walked down the hallway I heard some of the soldiers whispering and looking up at me. I frowned as I looked up at Optimus. "Is it normal for everyone to be gossiping about someone new?" I asked. Optimus let out a small sigh as he looked down at me slightly. "Here it is a normal thing especially about new arrivals." He said.
I nodded my head as we walked into the medical bay. Ratchet looked over at Optimus and me. "Put her over by the table and I'll be with her in just a moment." He said. Optimus gently put his hand down and I climbed off of it. "Good luck with talking to Major Lennox." I said with a small smile.
Optimus nodded his head and left the medical bay. I let out a small sigh as I noticed Ratchet working on Jazz. "I wonder what is wrong with Jazz." I thought. Ratchet finished his work on Jazz and looked over at me. "I advise that you should sleep during the tests… They should take a total of 3 hours." I said.
I nodded as I closed my eyes and noticed the humming sound again but it was rougher than Optimus' was. After 3 hours I awoke and noticed a look of worry on Ratchet's face. "Is something wrong, Ratchet?" I asked. Ratchet looked at me and sighed. "You are indeed part Cybertronian but… Something seems off… You are giving off AllSpark radiation…" He said.
I blinked a few times as I wondered what the heck the AllSpark was. "Ratchet-…." I started to say but got cut off by the sounds of guns firing. "Frag it… Decipitcons…" He said.
Boy I wish I knew what I was getting myself into.
