Hey guys, sorry for this to take too long. I've been busy a lot lately. So here's the new update for anyone that was waiting.
It was a rainy day.
A hard rainy day. Thunderstorms begin to scatter throughout the area. A sound of thunder managed to awoke Reg from his two hour sleep.
Awoken and startled, he lay there with his head up, looking around.
His backpack filled with his needs are still there, much to his relief.
"Good thing I managed to take shelter here", Reg thought to himself, as he got up and sat back down for more comfort, looking outside as the rain continued to pour down.
"I really need to fix my draining issue", Reg thought to himself, "I can't continue to use my incinerator, if I'm going to keep being unconscious. Perhaps I could find someone that could fix my issue. But who should I search for?"
Reg thought about this, until he noticed something in the distance, not far from where he was.
Three dark vehicles circling around a figure.
A figure wearing all capes, carrying many luggages, and has a hood covering its face. The figure is also hunch over, as it stood there, possibly friengthen by the extreme surprise attack by these supposed raiders.
Reg, seeing there's no trouble dealing with these raiders, decided to intervene and help.
He headed toward there.
As soon as he was near, the three vehicles stopped and glanced over him.
Reg too stopped.
Their glance made contact, as the rain dropped on them from the sky.
They stood there in silence for a long minute, until finally they transformed, revealing themselves to be Cybertronians.
They were identical to each other. Their long, sharp teeth are shown, drooling what to be green substance, dripping on the sand ground.
They all have one red eye. They are all covered in black, sharp materials, and have steel claws attached to their hands.
Reg positioned himself. He wasn't afraid. He was familiar with Cybertronians before. But he had never seen these types of Cybertronians before, making them new to him.
One of the creatures cackles a laugh, remarking, "Well, if it isn't a Decepticon slave! Out here to do their bidding".
"This filth doesn't seem tough to me", One of them remarked.
"I thought he was gone for sure", The other creature added.
Then one of them charged right at Reg, who immediately jumped so high as he descended down, crushing the rogue transformer from above.
The other transformer charged right at him, this time with his claw out.
Reg quickly dodge it, and went past him.
Then he ejected his left grapple arm and strapped it around the transformer neck.
He panicked and began to act berserk, as Reg attempted to subdue it down.
The last remaining transformer, like the others, attempted to penetrate Reg with his claw, only instead it went through the other transformer, causing it to spit out energon blood.
Reg, taking the opportunity, jumps out of the way, along with his grapple arm as it ejects back. He then lifted his hand to use his incineration blast.
He was ready to, since the two of them are stuck one another but something kept him from doing it. He realised using it again would put him out of commission.
So he decided to result in decapitating them, instead.
He charges once, readying his fist as he swiftly punches the second one in the head, causing it to be ejected out from the body.
The other one, too terrified to think, got his head punched out from the chin.
The energon blood spray from the corpse collapsed on the ground, as Reg landed back down.
He breathes heavily from the battle itself, as he swipes his shoulder and twists his left arm a bit to check for any damage by these raiders.
He then confronted the hooded figure, who was on the ground startled by the sudden fight.
"Are you alright?" Reg asked the figure, who began to reply in a female tone, despite its roughness.
"Oh, ummm yes. thank you my lad", It replied, getting up, "I am grateful for you to come and save me".
"Just...doing my duty, madam", Reg replied.
"Why, if it wasn't for you I would've died right there and then".
"I guess you're lucky to have someone like me around".
"Yes, anyways what is your name boy?" The figure asked, "As I would love to learn my hero name so I could tell the story and-".
"Reg..just Reg", Reg replied, "If you need any assistance, I could help you home, if you do live here".
"Oh, I would love your assistance, but I prefer to go by myself".
"Are you sure?" Reg asked, feeling a bit suspicious about the figure, as if something seemed odd. The way it looks, he expected for someone like her it would require some help.
He figures it is not his business to intervene, but something about it doesn't seem right to him.
"Yes, I would prefer getting to my home peace and sound", The figure replied.
Reg decided to shrug it off and let the figure go. He didn't see much wrong about it.
As soon as the figure began to hum and start picking up the luggages that was on the ground, several gold and photos slipped out and dropped on the ground.
Reg noticed it and realised something was off. Some of the gold seems to belong to several villages he visited. He shouted, "Stop where you are!"
"Hmm, is there a problem?"
Reg approaches her, picking the cube up and asking, "Any idea for the possession of these…golds?"
"Golds?" The figure was surprised, as if caught right handed by the tone it made, sounding like stuttering and having no idea how to respond, "I have no idea what you're talking about? Those are my possessions".
"Really?"He replied, "Strange, considering some of these seem to belong to several villagers. Some of them consider these as their culture, and won't allow anyone to take it".
"Oh, I…..uhhhhhhh".
"Oh…well,...uhhh…maybe they are just a coincidence. After all, I did buy these from…uhhh".
Reg knew this was a lie. He knew by the reaction of the figure was literally lying to him.
So he was correct. There was something suspicious about this.
Wanting to know the truth, he grabbed the cape and ripped it off from her, revealing….a man!
A man dressed in a red and grey coat. His skin was alien-like, having a brown, rocky and cripple feeling. He wears a helmet, has goggles, and has black hair.
The luggages was dropped, spilling dozens and dozens of energon cubes.
This shocked Reg, never expecting some kind of fraud here.
"You're not a lady!" Reg said.
"Ohhh no! Look what you did?" The man replied, seemingly ignoring his failed disguise, "Do you know how expensive it is for me to buy these coats and hoods for a disguise?!"
"Who...who are you?!" Reg asked, holding out his hand as a clear warning to reply quickly, "I demand you to explain yourself!"
"Alright! Alright! Keep it down with your quick, bold assumption lad", The man replied, guesting him to lower his hand down, "I am Hondo".
"Hon...do?" Reg lowered his hand down.
"Yes, Hondo", He repeated, "Hondo Ohnaka".
He then bowed, "At your service".
"Service?" Reg was a little puzzled by his odd gesture.
"Yes, service", He replied, getting up and acting casual, "You see, I am a famous...uhhh...popular business man in the whole galaxy, known for striking great deals with my partners and customers. And you lad, are a perfect partner".
"Partner?"
"You see lad, I was trying to make my way until these vicious creatures sprung out and attacked me", Hondo explained, "But once I saw you helping me out, I saw a glimpse of potential in you. So I appreciate your help, and applaud for your action. So I was wondering if you want to be my partner for…..uhhh...business!"
"I am...confused here", Reg said, "Did you steal these golds from those villagers?"
"Come now, is it really important to know? After all, I-"
"YES!"
This starlte Hondo, decided to cut through the chase and just give him his own explanation, still attempting to get out of trouble.
He claps his hand together and resumes his smug, replying, "Umm ok then, fine I'll tell you why. You see, I did not steal 'em? I'm merely….preserving it".
"Preserving it?"
"Yes, you see….recently there have been several raids from an unknown force, leaving the villages disseminated. So when I took a visit to one of them, I found that many of the golds were left untouched. One of the survivor gave these gold to me and said-"
"So what you're telling me is you are trying to find some kind of preservation area to preserve these golds?"
"Exactly! That is why I was asking you if you want me to be my partner. What do you say?
Reg thought this over. By his assumption, Hondo seems...quite weird. And Reg knows there is something up.
But deep down, he wanted to learn more as he hasn't met anyone similar to Hondo for a long time.
After a long thought process, Reg finally replies, "Ok, if that's what you're telling me, then I'll assist you".
"Really?"
Reg nodded.
"Uhhhhh….that is wonderful".
Despite the sign of lying and possible deception, Reg still remains cautious but also hopeful that he isn't entirely evil.
After carrying his belongings himself, they both made their way to the cave for Reg to gather his stuff and depart. Hondo was humming to himself, in a way to ease himself as he didn't expect any of this to happen.
He expected to fool the kid and try to leave while still possessing his stolen goods. But now that his lie went in the boy's head he was now in hot water.
Still there was nothing else to do, but follow and hopefully not get into too much trouble. After all, he sees the boy as...possibly harmless. And possibly, potentially helpful, as he seem to take a liking of the boy, making him wonder that maybe his lie wasn't terrible after
all.
Sorry it seems short, but I want to keep the update more quick, rather than slow.
But anyways, I hope everyone likes it. Stay tune for more!
