Radiance Of Stardust Chapter 1
50 Years Later:
Life hasn't been easy for Stardust since her transformation. In a world that would see her as a freak and have no qualms about dissecting her to find out what makes her tick Stardust must remain in disguise, hidden from the publics prying eyes. Not that elementary where you're living in late 20th century Detroit. Thanks to Sumdac Enterprises, Detroit is now the initial go to place for the most advanced and desirable pieces of technology. Honestly things are advancing so fast that it does make it somewhat less bothersome for her to blend in during vehicle mode.
For the most part Stardust keeps on the outskirts of the now thriving city, swiping oil for consummation whenever no one was looking. Stardust found she had regular cravings for oil in the first months. As the five decades steadily went by Stardust learned that oil is now essential to her diet and survival along with a certain mineral. This particular mineral Stardust could never successfully identify. Unlike the failed attempts Stardust went through in test runs with other organic foods she used to eat while human her body didn't reject this.
This surprised Stardust so she warily tried some more regardless of any potential hazards that may plague her new forms functions. This new food source didn't cause Stardust any harm. In fact it made her feel much stronger.
Stardust trained hard and all the time in areas where this isn't a large quantity of human activity making it safe to do. Stardust gained a formidable weapons system that contains blades and blasters. Stardust hand carved markers for target practice to improve actions to protect herself correctly. Stardust is now prodigy since she's self taught, but by the 50th year Stardust is quite proud of her hard work and accomplishments gained in solitude.
With no one holding her back Stardust actually traveled most of the world, not wanting to be tied down in one place. There was a whole brand new world out there for Stardust to explore and she did, having a wonderful experience the entire time. But each trip never did last for very long. Detroit is her home and she'll always come back to it. Although she avoided interacting with humans by any means necessary to succeed in this lonely existence. As far as Stardust is aware she is the only member of her species living on Earth. She found no sign of anyone else with her mechanical shape shifting affliction anywhere on the planet.
This is something Stardust was forced to accept left she fall into an unseemly and gloomy depression that would waste her away.
She's been good ever since she surpassed this crucial milestone.
Here's another.
After the beginning two decades went by Stardust underwent something quite involuntary. She actually went to see how her wastrel of a mother was doing.
Stardust fully expected her mother to be just as she left her. Stumbling around the house with bottles scattered everywhere and living off whatever welfare benefits the lady could possibly get her grimy hands on.
Instead Stardust found a separate family living there happy and unspoiled. So Stardust did some digging by hacking into the computer network. Here she found out that her mother had died from alcohol poisoning not a year after Stardust's departure. Stardust wasn't shocked. Her mother's death was imminent, she just hadn't known when.
Still she was Stardust's mother so she did feel some empathy for the woman. Not as much as her father. Once a year Stardust would visit her father's grave, not speaking a word for fear someone might hear and report a talking motorbike with no rider. Stardust simply sat there in the nearest parking lot on the grounds with her scope trained on his resting place.
Stardust's father is the only person in her life who ever had truly loved her.
Stardust needn't feel this way for much longer.
What prayers she has are about to be answered.
Soon Stardust is going to see that she's not as alone in this district as she first thought. Somewhere out there new friends are going to show up changing and opening up her eyes to a whole other universe.
Authors Note:
Wishing you all a Happy 4th of July!
Hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
I'm glad to have finally gotten back to this after such a long absence compared to some others on my profile. I've been meaning to for a while and only now I've managed to find time and inspiration for it. Still in the beginning stages, but I'm very satisfied and happy about it.
By the way the mineral Stardust found in the woods is energon.
Next time around heralds the Autobots arrival to Detroit. Something to definitely look forward to in the near future. Life is no doubt going to become even more interesting and enticing for Stardust to continue on with.
I recently put up a new story called Fish Out Of Water. It's a crossover between the movie Shape of Water and the show Siren. So far I have everything figured out except one little thing. A name for my OC. Basically, since my OC character is in fact a mermaid I want the name to be in reference to the oceans or any other body of water similar to lakes or rivers. I'm more than open to suggestions so like I usually do in situations like this I'm turning it into a contest. The reader who gives me the winning name gets a question answered about the plot of the changed storyline in question. So think long and hard guys on the name and the type of question you'd like me to answer. Because you only get the one until the next opportunity arises for the taking. ;D
