Happy Halloween Everyone! :)
Minutes later, lilly and Dinomite were now walking together as the night approaches as the setting sun is now a purple hue. For the first time since lilly has been living away from her past, she is now reunited with Dinomite. Her old best friend. Now her lover. While walking together for a while, lilly finally spoke. "Isn't this a great place?" asked lilly.
"It is beautiful. But I don't understand something. You've been alive all this time. Why didn't you come back to pride Rock?" asked Dinomite.
"Well, I just needed to... get out on my own. Live my own life. And I did. And it's great" said lilly as she climbs into a ''hammock'' of thick hanging vines. She sounds almost as if trying to convince herself as well as Dinomite. "We've really needed you at home" said Dinomite with voice catching, as though barely under control.
"No one needs me" said lilly quietly.
"Yes, we do! You're the queen" said Dinomite.
"we've been through this. I'm not the queen. Megatron is the king" said lilly.
"lilly, he let the savage hyenas take over the pride lands" said Dinomite. Lilly then seem shocked by this. "What?" said Lilly.
"Everything's destroyed. There's no food. No water. Lilly, if you don't do something soon, everyone will starve and die" said Dinomite.
"I can't go back" said lilly now walking away.
"Why?" asked Dinomite loudly.
"You wouldn't understand" said lilly.
"What wouldn't I understand?" asked Dinomite.
"No, no, no. It doesn't matter. Hakuna Matata" said lilly hastily.
"What?" said Dinomite being confused.
"Hakuna Matata. It's something I learned out here. Look, sometimes bad things happen..." said lilly.
"lilly!" said Dinomite.
"...And there's nothing you can do about it. So why worry?" said lilly now being irritated. Lilly then starts to walk away from Dinomite, but he trots back up to her. "Because it's your responsibility!" said Dinomite.
"Well, what about you? You left!" said lilly.
"I left to find help! And I found YOU. Don't you understand? You're our only hope" said Dinomite.
"Sorry" said lilly being more irritated.
"What's happened to you? You're not the lilly I remember" said Dinomite.
"You're right. I'm not. Now are you satisfied?" said lilly.
"No, just disappointed" said Dinomite.
"You know, you're starting to sound like my father" said Aladar and starts to walk away again.
"Good. At least one of us does" said Dinomite. Lilly suddenly stops and was obviously cut by the comment about her father. How dare he talk about her father like that? She tears into Dinomite angrily and said "Listen, you think you can just show up and tell me how to live my life? You don't even know what I've been through!". Then she starts to walk away again. "I would if you would just tell me!" said Dinomite.
"Forget it!" said lilly.
"Fine!" said Dinomite.
Lilly has now walked far away from Dinomite and is now pacing back and forth in a field talking to herself. "he's wrong. I can't go back. What would it prove, anyway? It won't change anything. You can't change the past" said lilly. Then she looks up at the stars and thought about her father again. But she felt betrayed. The promise that her father made. About being there for her even in death. He might have lied to her. "You said you'd always be there for me! But you're not. And it's because of me. It's my fault. It's my fault" yelled lilly and bows her head, choking back tears. She has always believed that it was her fault for her father's death. And she always believed that it was her fault. Losing some tears, she cries for a moment. Until she hears some odd chanting from the distance. She turns her head and sees a dark figure in the trees. He was shaking the branches about, while still chanting. But the reality, is that it is actually alpha trion doing the chanting. But lilly does not recognize him. But alpha trion continues to chant some kind of language.
Alpha trion: Asante sana!
Squash banana!
We we nugu!
Mi mi apana!
Lilly is being slightly annoyed by the chant. She moves away trying to get away. Alpha, elated by the sight of lilly, follows her. Lilly walks until she stops while walking halfway across a log over a pond and lies down on it. Then suddenly, a rock was thrown in the water catching her attention. Lilly looks up to see the same monkey, now in another tree, starting his chant again. Lilly was now more annoyed than ever. "Come on, will you cut it out?" said lilly. Alpha Trion laughs while doing random acrobatics in the tree. "Can't cut it out. It'll grow right back!" said alpha trion and laughs again. Lilly knows he was talking to her, not the tree. Lilly gets up and walks away, but alpha trion follows her. "Creepy little monkey" muttered lilly to herself. Then she heard alpha trion still following her. "Will you stop following me? Who are you?" said lilly without looking back. Then alpha trion appeared out of nowhere right in front of her, surprising lilly. "The question is: Whooo... are you?" asked alpha trion. Lilly was startled by this comment. This monkey may have a point about her. Lilly sadly sighs and said "I thought I knew. Now I'm not so sure".
"Well, I know who you are. Shh. Come here. It's a secret" said alpha trion as jumped onto his back and pulled lillys head over to whisper into her ear. Lilly was expecting to hear something about her that she wants to know, but instead, alpha trion starts to chant into her ear.
Alpha trion: Asante sana!
Squash banana!
We we nugu!
Mi mi apana!
"Enough already! what's that supposed to mean, anyway?" said lilly now very irritated by the chanting.
"It means you are a monkey- and I'm not" said alpha trion and laughs and jumps off her. Lilly then starts moving away from her. "I think... you're a little confused" said lilly. Then alpha trion magically appears in front of her again. "Wrong! I'm not the one who's confused. You don't even know who you are" said alpha trion.
"Oh, and I suppose you know?" said lilly moving away, while being sarcastic and irritated.
"Sure do. You're optimus primes girl" said Alpha trion. Lilly stopped dead in her tracks when she heard the name. She was very surprised by this revelation. She looks back at Alpha trion to hear him say "Bye!". Then the lemur ran off, chanting while he runs. "Hey, wait!" said lilly and chased after him. This monkey knows something about her father. And lilly has to know what he knows. She finally caught up with him and the monkey is in a meditative lotus position on a rock with eyes closed. "You knew my father?" asked lilly.
"Correction- I know your father" said alpha trion in monotone.
"I hate to tell you this, but... he died. A long time ago" said lilly. Then alpha trion suddenly leaps off the rock and over to a dense jungle-like area. "Nope. Wrong again! Ha ha hah! He's alive! And I'll show him to you. You follow old alpha trion, he knows the way. Come on!" said alpha trion and disappeared into the jungle. Lilly immediately chased after him. But lilly has trouble keeping up due to her size. "Don't dawdle. Hurry up!"
not my father. That's just my reflection". Said Lilly
"Noo. Look harder" said alpha trionas he dips his staff into the pool, creating ripples. lilly looks closer and the ripples distorts lilly's reflection. Then the reflection starts turning into something else. It began to take shape as it resolves into a familiar face that lilly can only recognize: Her father's face. "You see, he LIVES in YOU" said alpha trion. Lilly was awestruck by this. Then she heard a deep rumbling sound and the wind quickly picks up. She looks up and sees the clouds approaching her. Then, something takes shape in the clouds. And then it took in form of Optimus prime as it was formed in the clouds. He appears to be walking from the stars and towards lilly. Lilly was again awestruck by her father. She could not even believe what she was seeing right now. The image of Optimus is ghostly at first, but steadly gains color and coherence. "Lilly. . ." said Optimus quietly at first.
"Father?" said Lilly.
"Lilly, you have forgotten me" said Optimus.
"No. How could I?" asked Lilly.
"You have forgotten who you are, and so have forgotten me. Look inside yourself, lilly. You are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the Circle of Life" said Optimus.
"How can I go back? I'm not who I used to be" said Lilly.
"Remember who you are. You are my Daughter, and the one true Queen" said Optimus with his eyes now glowing yellow and is framed by swirling clouds, radiating golden light. Lilly's face then began to show a mixture of awe, fear, and sadness. Then the image of optimus starts to fade. "Remember who you are". As optimus disappears rapidly into the clouds, lilly runs into the fields trying to keep up with him. "No. Please! Don't leave me" said lilly.
"Remember..." said Optimus.
"Father!" said Lilly.
"Remember..." said Optimus
"Don't leave me" said Lilly.
"Remember . . ." said Optimus. Then he finally disappears, and lilly is left out in the fields. There is just a cloud left to where her father's image was. As the wind tosses the grass restlessly, lilly began to realize something. She's been running from her past for a very long time. But it will only just haunt her. And her family and home is now dying. lilly knows that she must return home and stop Megatron. Then alpha trionapproaches. "What was THAT? Ha ha ha!The weather- Pbbbah! Very peculiar. Don't you think?" asked alpha trion.
"Yeah. Looks like the winds are changing" said lilly.
"Ahhh. Change is good" said alpha trion.
"Yeah, but it's not easy. I know what I have to do. But, going back means I'll have to face my past. I've been running from it for so long" said Lilly. Then alpha trionwhacks lilly on the head with his staff. "Oww! Jeez- What was that for?" said lilly.
"It doesn't matter. It's in the past!" said alpha trionand laughs.
"Yeah, but it still hurts" said lilly.
"Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it" said alpha trionand swings at lilly with his staff again. This time, lilly ducks. "Hah, you see! So what are you going to do?" asked alpha trion. The Lilly smiled and said "First, I'm gonna take your stick". Then she grabs alpha trion's staff with her mouth and tosses it to the side. "No, no, no, no! Not the stick!" said alpha trionand rushed over and grabbed it. Then he looks back to see lilly running off. "Hey, where are you going?!" shouted alpha trion.
"I'm going back!" shouted lilly.
"Good! Go on! Get out of here!" shouted alpha trionhappily and began to laugh. His work here is done. And lilly is going back. He began to hoot and holler as lilly disappears into the night.
At an early light of morning, Spike, along with bumblebee are sleeping in the foggy atmosphere. Spike is curled up on bumblebees's back. But Spike and bumblebee are snoring. In his snore, Bumblebee occasionally mumbles "Grubs, grubs." Then Dinomite appeared out from the fog and approaches them and nudges Spike. "Hey. Hey, wake up" said Dinomite. Spike starts to stir. Then he sleepily opens his eyes to look who is talking to him. But he only sees a large lion face in his face. Spike immediately starts screaming with his fur standing on end and then bumblebee wakes up and starts screaming too. "It's OK. Whoa, whoa. It's OK. It's ME" said Dinomite.
"Don't ever do that again! Carnivores, oy!" said Spike.
"Have you guys seen lilly?" asked Dinomite.
"I'm afraid we haven't" said Spike as he gets up.
"I thought she was with you" said spike holding a hand to his head.
"She was, but now me can't find her. Where is she?" asked Dinomite. Then they heard laughter above them. They looked to see alpha trionsitting on the tree above them. "Ho, ho, ho, ho. You won't find him here. Ha ha. The Queen... has returned" said alpha trion.
"I can't believe it" said Dinomite quietly to himself. Then he was louder and amazed and said "She's gone back!".
"Gone back? What do you mean?" asked Spike. Then he looks up to where alpha trionwas at, but he was now gone. "Hey! What's goin' on here? Who's the monkey?" asked Spike.
"Lilly's gone to challenge megatron" said Dinomite.
"Who?" asked Spike.
"Who's megatron?" asked Bumblebee.
"No, no, no. It's her father's brother" said Dinomite shaking his head.
"The Monkey's his brother?" asked spike.
"No! lilly's gone back to challenge her father's brother to take her place as Queen" said Dinomite.
"Ohhh" said Spike and bumblebee now realizing.
