Transformers Zero
"Legends and History"
"Nighty night everyone," Wingblast said as he shift to his alternate mode.
Fireburst yawned. "Don't let the scraplets bite you."
"How come? All the scraplets are dead," Wingblast pointed out.
"Ugh, never mind".
The Autobots all transformed to their vehicular mode as they went to sleep.
"There, all done," Saito said. Saito just had just finished setting up Louise's gown.
"Thanks Saito," Louise smiled.
"Let's sleep, I'm tired already," Saito yawned.
Louise then uses her magic to turn off the lamp as the room went dark, with the exception of the moonlight shining through the window. The couples then went up the bed.
"Good night Louise."
Good night Saito."
The couples then shut their eyes as they drifted to sleep.
Optimus suddenly saw himself in a place somewhat similar to Earth. He looked right and left but saw no one. He then noticed another thing, his body. He looked at his arms, body and legs and realized that they weren't his original form, but this other form he had now looked familiar.
Optimus heard river swishing behind him, he walked over there to see his reflection. As he saw his reflection Optimus widened his optics in shock. He was in his knight form during the Age of Extinction battle. He noticed something behind his back from the reflection, he pulled it out to reveal the knight sword that he wielded. He reached for his back and pulled out his knight shield.
He suddenly remembered all of those years having this form, how he turned against his Autobots, the humans, fought against Bumblebee…
Optimus shook his head, he doesn't want to remember that now, he stowed the weapons on his back before walking away.
"Where am I exactly?" Optimus wondered aloud.
Suddenly he heard a blaster charging behind him. He dodged it as the blaster fired. Optimus looked to see who fired at him. And sure enough he was shocked.
"Hello there Optimus," the attacker said.
It was Megatron in his Knight form also while raising his cannon.
"Megatron."
The warlord charged at the Prime as Optimus dodged out of the way. He then reached for his back and pulled it out the knight shield. Megatron fired another shot as Optimus placed the shield on his forearm and blocked the shot. He then proceeds to take out his sword as he got into his defensive stance, Megatron then pulled out an axe and activating his mouth guard. The two former sworn enemies charged at each other. The two clashed at each other as shockwaves from the sword clash burst out.
"We were brothers once Optimus. Have you forgotten your mission about the staff? Revert back to Nemesis Prime Optimus," Megatron goaded. "Use your inner darkness. Fight me, like how you fought Bumblebee."
Optimus said nothing as he continued locking blades with him.
"Hmph, you are never strong enough to defeat me Prime," Megatron scoffed. "You should know that you are the cause, you have let innocent lives lost in the process during our fight, even the human government has turned against you and the Autobots. You are not a warrior nor are you a soldier. This is what you chose Prime, when you defied me all those years ago. Everything you've done is your fault."
Optimus was punched in the face as he flew backwards crashing and stumbling on the ground. Megatron walked towards where Optimus unconscious body laid, he raised his cannon and aimed at the Prime, just as he fired Optimus then disappeared before the shot can hit him. Megatron looked around for Optimus.
How did he disappear like that?
Suddenly Megatron felt his instincts kicked in as the warlord blocked an attack from behind. It was none other than the last Prime. But he was different, his optics we're purple.
The two then broke the clash as they stared at each other.
"So you do listen after all."
But Optimus just stared at him, his dark purple eyes staring right into Megatron's optics. But Megatron wasn't even scared, he was looking forward for this moment. Optimus charged at him as Megatron did too, the two exchange blows of sword from each other as Optimus blocked some strike with his shield. Optimus then kicked Megatron causing the dark lord to stumble back. He then jumped and pounces on Megatron and chocking him with two hands.
"Kill me Optimus, seize the day. Without me the Decepticons would be nothing," Megatron begged with a sinister smile.
Optimus, with no hesitation choked Megatron.
"Control yourself Optimus," a voice called.
Optimus stopped strangling Megatron as he looked around for the source.
"Alpha Trion?"
But this gave Megatron an opportunity as he kicked Optimus sending him flying back.
"Control your inner darkness. You must not give it strength," the voice of Alpha Trion continued.
Optimus then calmed down as his optics went back to normal. He then looked at Megatron charging at him. He started to shoot Megatron with his shield before dodging Megatron's strike. Before Megatron could counterattack fired at Megatron's face before quickly stabbing Megatron in the chest. Optimus then pulled out the sword out of Megatron chest as he fell to the ground, lifeless. The body then disappeared out of thin air.
Optimus widened his optics in shock. He wasn't real?!
"This was a test Optimus, to control the darkness that has lurked inside of you for all these years. Remember; always control your inner darkness. And don't ever let it take full control of you or else you would turn on your friends. Learn to coexist with it," Alpha Trion said.
B efore Optimus could talk further a bright light enveloped him causing him to cover his optics.
Optimus woke up in his truck mode as he looked around. He was back at the academy. He used windshields to look right, the Autobots we're sleeping in their vehicle mode as usual. Optimus gave a quiet sigh, he began to think back on his dream.
That was no ordinary dream. It was another test by the Primes. Optimus was a bit surprise, that instead of Micronus Prime it was Alpha Trion. Optimus then activated his holo-form. As he began walking into the middle of the fields he saw the sun about to rise.
'Still early is it?' Optimus thought.
The Supreme Commander began to stretch his metallic muscles as he looked around the academy. This place was pretty new for him. A stroll around the academy will be a good choice. He then finished doing all the stretching routines before walking away from the sleeping Bots.
Optimus walked around for a few hours already, looking around. After strolling outside he decided to look around the building. He walked towards the building as he saw some of the students in the hall talking.
"Can't believe we got no class today," he heard one of the students saying.
"If I were you I'd just stay at my room and continue sleeping," another said.
Optimus continued walking as some of the students began staring at him out of curiosity.
"Good morning," he greeted before walking away.
"Isn't that the metal giant?"
"Yeah it is. He seems nice if you ask me."
"What's he doing in the building though?"
"Beats me, maybe strolling around?"
Optimus kept walking as he saw more and more students in the hall. He turned around the corner before bumping into someone.
"I'm sorry," a voice of a girl apologized.
"It's alright," Optimus answered.
Optimus looked at the girl. The girl was blonde, and was also wearing the mage uniform like the others. She had sharp ears and had large breast. But her ears, no humans have sharp ears like that. Is she an elf? Optimus knows elves, they were supposed to be mythical creatures helping the one named Santa Claus to help make Christmas gifts for children around the world.
"Hello there, you seem a bit different than the other students," Optimus said.
"I'm sorry if I am weird than the others," she said.
"It is alright, there is nothing to apologize," Optimus assured her.
"Oh, okay."
"What is your name?"
"My name is Tiffania, and I am a half-elf."
"A half-elf?"
Tiffania nodded. "I was born to a human and elf parents."
"I see. My name is Optimus Prime. It is a please to meet you Tiffania."
"A pleasure to meet you too Optimus Prime-san."
"You may call me Optimus."
"Okay. You must be the metal giant I've heard about."
Optimus nodded.
"Well, I better go now. I have an appointment with someone."
"Alright then, have a nice a day Tiffania."
"Thank you. Goodbye Optimus," she smiled before walking away.
Optimus watched her walked away before thinking. Everything in this building is new to him. He would have to look for someone to help him, a tour guide. Just then, Optimus had an idea.
"Yet another beautiful day," Wingblast smiled, already woke up.
The others Bots began stretching as Wingblast joined in.
"Hey has anyone seen Optimus?" Fireburst asked.
"I don't know. Sky-spy you seen Optimus anywhere?" Bee asked.
"Scanning…Inside the school's building."
"Why would Optimus go there?" Saber wondered.
"He's getting used to the environment around him," Bee assumed.
"Or maybe strolling around," Wingblast added. "Can I come inside the building?"
Bee sighed. "Fine."
"Yay," Wingblast cheered.
He then transformed to his human form before running towards the building.
"Kids," Bee sighed.
Optimus walked around for almost another hour looking for the one who can help him out. Where could he be?
"Alright master I will," a voice of a boy said.
Optimus looked around to see where the voice was. He looked up and saw Saito and Louise on the second floor talking. The supreme commander then walked up the stairs.
"I've been thinking of a vacation," Louise said.
"Where to?" Saito asked.
"I'm not sure yet."
"You want to bring Siesta along?"
Louise then glared at Saito crossly.
"NO!" she shouted.
"Saito," a baritone voice called out.
The two looked to their right and saw Optimus walking towards them. Derflinger unsheathe from the sword holder.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the supreme commander himself. Good morning fearless leader."
"Good morning Derflinger," Optimus greeted. "Saito, I've been looking for you."
"Yes is there anything you want?"
"Can please give me a tour around the academy? Also, can you please introduce me to the students, teachers and staff here?"
"Oh, sure Optimus."
"I'm coming too," Louise said.
"As you command master," Saito smiled. "Okay Optimus, follow me."
Saito began showing classes that are in the school, the rooms where the students sleeps in, the kitchen, the dining area, and others places. Saito then began to introduce him to the people in the academy.
"This here is Kirche and Tabitha," Saito introduced.
"Please to meet you commander," Kirche smiled as she gave Optimus a wink.
"Please to meet you too," Tabitha added.
"Nice to meet the two of you," Optimus said as he bowed a little.
"Tabitha here is actually a queen," Louise said.
Optimus' optics widened a little before bowing 90 degrees in front of Tabitha causing Kirche, Louise and Saito to look in surprise.
"Your majesty."
This caused Tabitha to slightly flinch. This feels so awkward.
"Ara, what a gentleman you are," Kirche commented. "Oh and Tabitha, blame it on Louise."
"Kirche!" Louise shouted.
"Please rise," Tabitha said as Optimus simply complied.
"You do not have to bow," Tabitha told him.
"I do not have an issue in giving respect to you my Queen," Optimus replied.
"Please, call me Tabitha."
"As you wish."
"Let's move on shall we?" Saito advised.
The three began to continue their way.
"I didn't expect you to do that Optimus," Saito spoke.
"I find it respectful to greet such a queen."
Saito began introducing Optimus more people in the academy.
"Where is Optimus?" Wingblast wondered as walked around the academy.
He greeted any of the students he sees while asking for their names. He also asked them where Optimus is but they shook their heads and said they don't know. Wingblast gave a deep sigh. This is going to be a long day.
"It was actually heavy to lift up the boulder along with the others," he heard a familiar of voice said."
Wingblast turned his head and saw Optimus with Saito and Louise. He smiled and ran towards them.
"Optimus!" he cried.
The three looked to see Wingblast running towards them. He then gave Optimus a big hug.
"Morning Optimus."
"Good morning Wingblast."
Wingblast then proceed to hug Louise and Saito, slightly surprising them. This was awkward.
"Good morning you two,"
"Uh good morning," Louise said awkwardly.
"Forgive him, Wingblast have a tendency to embrace others," Optimus said as Wingblast let go of them.
"So what'ca doin' big bot?" Wingblast asked.
"I am touring around the academy to better familiarize the location."
"Really, can I join?"
"Sure you can," Saito said.
"Wingblast what are you doing?" Saber asked through the comm.
"I'm going on a tour with the others want to tag along?"
"Hmm," Saber hummed.
"Should we?" Fireburst said.
"Let's go. I find it important to familiarize with the school's surroundings."
"Alright then, let's rev up and roll out," Bumblebee said.
"Sky-spy my love, activate the mini-ground bridge," Fireburst ordered.
"On it," the satellite responded.
A green portal appeared before them as the three went in.
"They'll be here," Wingblast said.
Suddenly a green portal appeared causing Saito and Louise to jump in surprise. Saber, Bee and Fireburst went out of the portal and standing straight as if they're performing a grand entrance before the portal disappears.
"Oh my Primus we're actually so cool," Fireburst smiled.
"How did you…" Saito trailed off.
"We'll explain later," Bee said.
"Shall we continue?" Optimus asked.
"O-o-oh yes, ikimashio," Saito stammered.
Few minutes later Saito began introducing them to every students, teachers and staff around the building. Wingblast, of course was excited to see them.
"It's great isn't?" Saito asked them.
"Yeah it is," Wingblast smiled.
"I wonder if the buildings in Europe are similar to this one," Saber wondered aloud.
"They are brother," Fireburst told him.
"The students in this academy have different cape colors. The colors are to indicate which grades they are in," Louise explained.
"Interesting Louise-san," Fireburst mused.
"Oh yeah speaking of grades there was this one time when Guiche declared about having a duel with me back just because he two-timed two girls. One is the same grade as he is while the other is a first grade."
"Really? Damn that was crazy," Fireburst said.
"Did you and Guiche still hold grudges against each other until now?" Saber asked.
"Now, he's been my good friend ever since," Saito replied.
"I see."
"Mr. Prime," a voice came from behind.
They all look behind them to see Professor Colbert.
"Colbert-sensei," Louise and Saito said.
"Oh am I bothering you all?" Colbert asked.
"Not at all professor," Optimus replied.
"Oh good, the principal need you at his office right now," he explained.
"What for?"
"He said he needed to discuss with you about an important matter," Colbert said.
"Alright then lead the way," Optimus told him. "Autobots, you may continue the tour with Saito and Louise. I will not take long."
"Yes sir," Saber said.
"Let's get going then," Colbert said.
The groups then watched at Optimus followed Colbert to the principal's office.
"Here we are Mr. Prime," Colbert gestured to the door's room.
Colbert then opened the door revealing the principal in his desk while Ms. Helen continues to write the reports in her desk.
"Ah, Optimus Prime. Please come in."
The two went in to the office.
"Is there something the matter Mr. Osmond?" Optimus asked.
"We are here to tell you something that might shock you. The book please Ms. Helen."
"Right away principal," Ms. Helen said as she grabbed a giant book that was on her desk and placed on the desk.
"You might want to see this," Osmond gestured to the book.
Optimus then got close to see what the book is about. Sure enough he was surprise to see the book. The knights, the crusaders and everything that involves about the knights.
"When I started reading the book I saw a prophesy saying a knight of red and blue will one day save this world from calamity. I assumed it was you Mr. Prime," Colbert explained.
Optimus gave a silent response for a brief moment.
"It is true," Optimus then spoke up causing the three to look at him.
"I am one of the knights of Cybertron that this book foretold. The Knights of Iacon if you will."
The three looked at him in shock.
"I knew it," Colbert said.
"I can still remember myself as part of the knights and the crusaders. I remember when I explored countless worlds beyond Cybertron, though I may forget some. I am surprised that they took note of this."
"Then is it true that you are the chosen knight that the prophesy foretold?" Ms. Helen asked.
"That I am not sure."
"I see…" Osmond trailed off.
"Do you remember Halkeginia during your time as the knights?" Colbert asked.
"Ever since I came here, I am a bit familiar of this land, yet I do not remember some."
"It's alright," Osmond assured.
"What do you think the principal wants with Optimus?" Saber then asked.
"Don't worry he's just asking questions," Saito reassures Saber.
"This medieval age reminds me of Optimus' knight form," Wingblast said.
"What?" Louise questioned.
"Optimus' knight form," Wingblast repeated.
"Optimus has a knight form?" Saito then questioned as the group stopped walking.
"Yeah, it was during the battle of Age of Extinction. Drift and Crosshairs told us about it," Wingblast told them.
"During that battle all of the five Autobots are based off of historical human combatants. First, Optimus is obviously a medieval knight, Bumblebee resembles a ninja, Hound looked like the World War 2 commando, Crosshairs resembles an assassin or a bounty hunter and Drift is undoubtedly a Samurai," Fireburst listed.
"Really," Saito asked in surprise.
"This is what they look like," Fireburst said as he opened his palm and showed them the holographic images of the five.
"Wow," Louise breathed.
"Hey Optimus" Wingblast said.
They turned and saw Optimus coming towards them.
"Optimus, what did the principal asked you about?" Bumblebee asked.
"We discussed about the about the knights of Cybertron. That is all."
"Really? Anything else?" Saber asked.
Optimus shook his head. "No."
"Well let's get moving then," Saito suggested.
"Alright, let's roll," Bee said.
"Saito-san, Louise-san!" a voice of a girl called out.
They all turned to see a maid running towards them.
"Siesta," Louise and Saito said.
"Siesta?" Wingblast said.
"Yeah she's one of the maid of this academy," he explained.
"How are you two doing?"
"Fine," Saito smiled.
"I heard you're bringing the metal giants with you in this academy," she said.
"We invited ourselves actually," Bumblebee corrected.
"Oh yes. This is Bumblebee," Saito introduced.
"Please to meet you Siesta is it?" Bumblebee said.
"Bumblebee?" the maid said as she thought of the insect bumblebee.
"I know, I get that a lot."
"This is Saber and Fireburst."
"Please to meet you," Saber said before bowing.
"Good day."
"This here is Wingblast."
"Hi!" he said cheerfully before hugging her, slightly surprising the maid.
"Wingblast, let her go," Fireburst scolded.
Wingblast then let her go as the maid smiled at him.
"And finally, Optimus Prime."
"How are you Siesta?" the Prime asked.
"I-I am fine thank you," she slightly stuttered.
"Anyways Siesta, we're touring around the academy. Want to join us?"
That caused Louise to cringe a little.
"I would but I'm busy."
"Oh that's fine."
"Well I better be going now. It's meeting the giants. Bye Saito, Louise-san,"
The maid then walked away from them.
"Let's go."
The group then set off to continue the tour.
After meeting everyone and all the places they visited the last place.
"This is the final place," Saito began as he opened the door to reveal the library.
The Bots looked in slight awe at the library.
"Looks like one of those libraries back on Earth," Fireburst said.
"No kidding," Bee agreed.
"Looks like Hogwarts' library," Wingblast added.
The group went inside as the Bots began looking around while Saber remained with Saito and Louise.
"Saito aniki," Saber spoke up.
"What is it?"
"Has war occurred in Halkeginia?"
"Yes, but we're finally in peace."
"You know if you thought Optimus was the war veteran that craved to fight, he doesn't like to fight."
"Same goes for the Queen."
"Well I think Queen Henrietta and Optimus are actually in the same position."
"Wait, how do you know Saber?" Saito asked.
"And you met Queen Henrietta?" Louise said completely baffled.
"When we were searching information of the town the Queen invited us to stay for the night," Saber explained.
"Wow that's so nice," Saito said.
"Anyways, I kind of assumed her highness have to lead her country someday and will have so much responsibilities in her hands and of course she will hesitate. So does Optimus, not only is he a commander but the Supreme Commander of the Autobots and the only highest rank an Autobot could have. Yes, he has to deal with many problems in his servos."
"Hmm, I see," Saito said.
"But Queen Henrietta must be very lucky to just end the days in few months or years. Optimus have to lead the Autobots to war for more than a million years, of course no average human could survive on all those years."
"I'm sorry if you have to go through all that," Louise spoke.
"It's alright. We Autobots live to serve and protect."
"By the way do you have kings and queens on Cybertron?" Louise asked.
"No. But there is a ruler on Cybertron. He or she is considered Lord instead of 'your highnesses'."
"Hey Saber," Wingblast said through the comm.
"Yes Wingblast?" he replied.
"I see."
Suddenly Optimus came with a lot of books in his hand as he set them on the table shocking both Saito and Louise.
"That's so many books!" Saito said.
"How will you read them all?" the pink haired girl asked.
"I read them one by one," he told her.
"Optimus is a librarian," Saber told the couple.
"Really?!" said the two of them.
"Yes, I'm an archivist or a librarian if you will during the peaceful age of Cybertron," Optimus explained without looking up at the book.
"You two sound really surprise or shocked," Saber observed.
"Yeah I mean I didn't expect a librarian could also be one man army," Saito said.
"Things are not the way it seems," Bee said.
"He was an archivist named Orion Pax," Wingblast added.
"Wait you have two names now?" Saito questioned.
"Orion Pax was my former name. Optimus was the name given after I was rebuilt into a war machine by my mentor. Prime was a title given when I received the Matrix of Leadership."
"Prime is a title?" Louise said.
"Yes."
"What about the Matrix of Leader thing?" Saito then add on the questions.
"A powerful vessel from the God of the Transformers, Primus," Fireburst answered.
"This is so much," Saito slightly groaned.
"Don't worry you'll get used to it," Fireburst assured.
"What'ca readin' about though?" Wingblast asked as he looked at the book. "Hmm, better use my translator."
He tapped the side of this head, turning his translator button.
"The magic element consists of Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Ice. Some mages are able to use more than one magic at the same time. And there is the last and lost a lost magical branch called the Void."
That got attention from Louise.
"The Void magic is said to be one of the most powerful magic existed in the known elemental magic. Hmm, wonder if anyone had this Void magic."
"Louise's magic is void," Saito told him.
"Really?" Wingblast asked in surprise.
"Interesting," Saber mused. "What abilities can your wife use Saito aniki?
"Well, if I remember right its explosion, illusion, teleport and world door," Saito listed.
"I see."
Fireburst then returned to the lobby. "They got nice books on history, religion, science and everything."
"Maybe you should be everything Fire," Bee advised.
"Hmm?" Fireburst questioned.
"Oh yeah. My sisters are going to visit the academy in a few more days," Louise remembered.
The Autobots looked at Louise.
"What?" Wingblast completely baffled at this.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Your sisters?" Fireburst asked.
"What do we do?" Wingblast asked.
"We cannot expose ourselves to anymore humans," Optimus proclaimed.
"We three are okay but what about Optimus and Bumblebee?" Fireburst reminded.
"Anyone had any cloak tech that Cliffjumper had?" Bumblebee asked.
"Maybe you two can go far away from the academy and when they left maybe you guys can come back again? Saito advised.
"Good idea, but we need someone to lead," Saber reminded.
"And by the way, the Tristain academy is in a remote place. How do we go all the way back here from our hiding place and repel the Cons?" Bumblebee then added.
"Even if we use the ground bridge contained within Sky-spy it will only drain his energon levels. And we need 24 hours surveillance to look out for any Decepticons," Optimus explained.
"Well, we're at a deadlock now are we? Fireburst said.
"I hate this," Bee groaned.
"There must be a way…" Optimus trailed off. "Saito, do you have big sheets in this academy?"
"Yes why?" Oh I see, you can cover yourselves with the big sheet."
"And you two tell them that the big sheet is an upcoming project by the academy," Bee advised.
"Well guess that settles it," Fireburst said.
"Oh yeah about Louise's sisters, you may need some heads up," Saito suggested.
"Fill us right away," Wingblast smiled.
"My elder sister Cattilya-onesama has pink hair like me and keeps animals with her. She is also very nice," Louise explained.
This got Wingblast attention as he looked at Louise with a smiling hope.
"And my other elder sister Éléonore-onesama has blonde hair and wear spectacles. She is very strict and intimidating."
"You see Wingblast you gotta' be careful who you want to hug," Bee warned.
"Yup, point taken," he said smiling in the outside but nervous in the inside.
"If you will excuse me I will return to read," the librarian Prime said.
"Well, look at Optimus already reading the book," Fireburst smiled.
They all look at Optimus constantly reading the book.
"You're a one hard core librarian are you Optimus?" Saito said.
"I am just an ordinary librarian that is all."
"Tiffania-san?" Saber spoke.
They all turned to see the half-elf taking a lot of books in her hands. Saber then walked towards her.
"Here, let me take this for you," Saber said.
"Oh, thank you. You don't have to do this," she said.
"Yes I do."
"Tiffania, what're you doing here," Saito asked.
"Oh I'm here to help Ms. Chevreuse get all this books," she answered.
"I see."
Tiffania looked at Optimus reading a stack of books.
"Oh hello Optimus," she greeted.
"Hello Tiffania," Optimus greeted back as he looked up the book before going back to read.
"Optimus is a librarian," Wingblast told her.
"Really?" she said in surprise.
"Yeah. I know it's not every day that you meet a war veteran that was actually be a librarian."
"Oh. Well I need to get going," she said.
"Okay," Wingblast smiled.
Tiffania then went out of the library as Saber followed her.
"Hey guys I'm going to go back to the area," Fireburst told them as he went out the library.
"I'm with you Fireburst," Bee said. "See ya guys."
"Can I follow you and Louise?" Wing asked.
"Okay," Saito just said. "You want to come to our room Wing?"
Wingblast smiled and nodded.
" Alright then."
The three arrived at Louise's room as Wingblast stared in awe.
"Wow, nice room."
"Why thank you Wingblast," she said.
"You can call me Wing if you want," he suggested.
"Okay Wing," Saito said.
"So Saito-san, how long have you been training with swords?" Wingblast asked.
"Well, for more than 10 months if I'm not mistaken. First time I held a sword it felt like I already had experience with it."
"Oh? You learn swordsman from the internet?"
"No, actually. When I was summoned by Louise for the first time I have this rune in my hand," Saito explained as he showed Wingblast the runes on his hand.
"Wow, looks ancient," Wingblast mused.
"Few days later Guiche invited me to a duel to which I accepted. I got beat up badly and he gave me a sword for me to fight easier. As soon as I picked up the sword I felt a strong energy flowing through my runes. I picked up the sword and won the duel."
"Wow," Wingblast said amazement.
"Usually when other mages summoned their familiar it's usually an animal. But as I performed the summoning ritual I summoned Saito instead," Louise explained.
"How did ya do that?"
"It's because I'm a void mage," Louise said proudly.
"You seemed to be very proud about this," Wingblast remarked.
"Why yes, I'm proud to be a void mage after all."
"Being a void mage must be pretty awesome," he said cheerfully.
"You're a cheerful fellow," Derf said.
"It's just my personality," the young Autobot told the sword as he rubbed his back of the head with one of his hands.
"You know what Wingblast?" Saito whispered as he got close to Wingblast audio receptors. "At first Louise doesn't even know how to control her power. Each time she wants to cast a spell, it ended with explosions."
"Seriously?" Wingblast gasped.
"I heard that Saito," Louise said menacingly as her wand cracked with electricity.
Saito looked at her on horror. "Calm down Louise."
"Fine, I'll let this go just once," Louise huffed.
Wingblast just looked in confusion.
Optimus kept reading the books as some looked at Optimus in surprise before walking away. Some students talked to Optimus for a bit before walking away. The Prime has read about the Progenitor Brimir and was the first void mage and how his descendants are the royal families of the three countries. As he was reading he found something that rather shocked him. The Progenitor Brimir in fact wants nothing more than the complete annihilation of the elves as stated by the Prayer Book. But the Round Mirror suggested that he has done so many atrocious actions in his past life.
The Supreme Commander stopped reading as he began to think. He knows that every book he read doesn't tell the exact truth, so sometimes it can be a hoax. And when he and his Autobots began searching information back at the village he heard various villagers said 'May the Founder Brimir bless you.' He'll have to get to the bottom of this if he ever had a chance.
"Optimus," a voice called out.
Optimus looked to his right and left but saw no one.
"Optimus, I need to tell you of an important matter," the voice of Alpha Trion said.
"Is something matter?"
"The Thirteen and I will provide a special item for you not far from this place. I will show you the location when it is time for you to sleep," he explained.
"Understood."
"I shall be going then, Micronus can't stop complaining since you left. Goodbye Optimus."
"Farewell old friend."
"So you lived by yourself in the woods?" Saber asked.
"Yes," Tiffania answered.
The two were sitting on a chair in the student's dining area.
"You know, I felt sorry for the ones who have to live alone in an isolated area."
"Oh it's okay. My life was normal as always."
"I see. So how are your parents?" Saber asked.
"My parents passed away," she said slightly sad.
"I'm sorry Tiffania-san."
"It's fine."
"So how did you met Saito-san and the others?"
"Well, it started when I was in the forest picking ingredients when suddenly I saw a boy laying his back on a tree. He seemed to be dead so I used the ring to revive him. After that the boy said his name is Saito. Few days later Saito came back and brought his friends with him. At first Louise was mad at me, I don't know why but in the end we were good friends."
"Hmm," Saber nodded.
"When I arrived at the academy I wished to make many friends but I have to use my hat to disguise myself so that the others would not panic."
"Why would the students panic when they see you for the first time without your hat?"
"It is because the humans and elves were at war with each other. I finally revealed my identity towards them because I don't want to trouble them. Everyone was scared when they saw me. All I want to do was to make friends with them."
That caused Saber to look at her in pity. She would go all the way just to make friends with the students?
"What happens after that?"
"What happens next is that I was taken by a group of knights and Beatrice-san to be executed. If I go home they'll spare me but if I don't then I will be executed. Saito then begged the Beatrice-san to free me but she refused and after an intense battle Louise showed up and her wand blew up the place where everyone is. After the explosion incident I came to Beatrice-san and held her hands and tell her to become friends with me. She cried after that."
"You would want to make friends with a girl who wished to execute you?" Saber asked in disbelief.
"She's just confused, and so are the other students."
Saber looked at her. One thing he knows about this girl. It's that she's very kind-hearted.
"Saber-san?" Tiffania questioned.
"Oh sorry. I just spaced out," he said. "You are a very kind soul."
"Oh it's nothing. My mom once told me to help those in need."
"You are a good friend to those around Tiffania-san," Saber commented.
"Oh, thank you," Tiffania smiled.
There was a brief silence between them.
"Tiffania-san," Saber began.
"Yes?"
May I call you Tiffany-san?" Saber asked.
"It's alright. Tiffany is a nice name."
Saber nodded. "Tiffany is a name I got from Saito-san's world. But not from his country, another country."
"So there are more countries in his world?"
"Yes, the country he lives in is Japan. There are several other countries like America, Indonesia, China, Spain, Rome, United Kingdom and so on."
"They have different cultures right?"
"Yes they have. But America wouldn't accept my kind into their country easily."
"What happened?"
"After an intense battle in a city called Chicago, the government turned against the Autobots and started hunting and killing them one by one. Fireburst, Wingblast and I weren't there but after hearing the story we were completely horrified. Optimus was enraged by this and ordered all Autobots to cease contacts with humans, and that we've been betrayed."
"That's horrible," she said sadly.
"That broke Optimus' faith in humanity. The message got to every Autobots but some didn't survive. The survivors were Optimus, Bumblebee, Drift, Hound and Crosshairs. The ones that didn't survive we're taken to a factory to be manufactured into another form of technology. When Optimus saw this he and the Autobots stormed in to the factory, but they left after the leader of the company rebuked them. Optimus then said they will retrieve an ancient artifact but after retrieving it, he declared that they are done defending the humans. But an inventor managed to convince Optimus otherwise."
"That is quiet the story," she said.
Saber nodded. "We Autobots went through hardships together. After four million years of fighting non-stop. We never asked for war Tiffany-san, nor did we want to fight. But we are forced to when the Decepticons rise. We cannot just sit idly by and do nothing while they conquer everything. We lost a lot of our friends in any worse way possible. The worst I took was when I was bashed by a hammer in to my eyes. Blinding me, I was almost killed."
Tiffania then saw Saber's eyes full of sadness as he clutched his head.
"I can still hear their screams of pain inside my head."
Saber then felt something wrapping around him and saw that Tiffania was hugging him not caring about the big breast that was touching him.
"Tiffany-san, you don't have to do this."
"No, you need this."
Saber then touched one of her arms.
"Thank you," he whispered.
Optimus finished reading the books as he put them back to the right places. After that he deactivated his holo-form. He transformed to his bipedal mode and went to the trailer that contains the energon rocks. He opened his mouth guard, took some and eating it. As he is eating he began thinking. He should find more Dark Energon pockets and dispose of it. He saw Bumblebee and Fireburst in their robot modes lying down on the ground.
"Bumblebee, Fireburst," Optimus began causing the two to look at him. "I will be finding Dark Energon pockets by myself. In the meantime, look out for any Decepticon activities."
"Will do," Bee said.
Optimus then walked away from them. He went passed the academy's walls before transforming to his truck mode and drove away.
" It's going be night soon. Hope Optimus comes back sooner," Fireburst said.
Optimus planted a detpack in one a Dark Energon cave as he set off the timer. He transformed and raced off towards the exit. The bomb went off as Optimus got out of the cave safely. He drifted and transformed with one of legs tucked in and saw the cave destroyed.
"That should do it," he said.
He got up and began to walk back. Before he could take another step his scanners beeped. Optimus looked at his portable scanner in his arm, his scanners detected a life signature flying towards him. Optimus looked up and saw a flying object towards him.
What is it?
He then readied his fighting stance as the object got closer and closer.
Optimus widened his optics. By the Allspark! How can this be?!
