Zane looked warily around , then blinked thrice. He stared at the ground beneath him, the weight of what happened finally hitting him.
"Well, that's new." Zane said, referring to this new ability of his.
"WELL, IT IS TO BE EXPECTED." Zane almost flinched in surprise. Almost.
"Of course, now you decide to continue the conversation. I feel so loved." The last sentence was, due to the heavy sarcasm, obviously faker than a Twinkie.
"WE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO TALK. PRIMUS BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION THAT TO LET YOU DO AS YOU MUST, WE NEED TO LEAVE THE EVENTS ALONE UNTIL YOU MAKE YOUR MOVE. THAT WAY YOU WILL HAVE THE -HOW DO HUMANS SAY IT?- HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE."
"Well, it certainly wasn't gonna be you coming up with that idea, now was it?" Asked Zane with what seemed like a honest expression on curiosity on his face. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end while he felt like he was being closely observed.
"HMMM... YOU'RE A LITTLE PILE OF SLAG, AREN'T YOU? WELL, I RECOMMEND YOU GO A MILE TO YOUR LEFT. IT WOULD APPEAR A FAMILIAR MOTORCYCLE AND HUMAN ARE PATROLLING THIS AREA. YOU MAY WISH TO DETER THEM FROM THIS SITE."
"No duh, Captain Obvious. Nice to meet you, I'm Sergeant Sarcasm. Now, did you know that you are just the smartest, most brilliant tactician in all of history?"
"Zane, I'm afraid Unicron is busy trying to stop this onslaught of laughter and... plotting that has overtaken him. But, I too, would recommend that you stop Jack Darby and Arcee from discovering this place you made."
Zane paused momentarily, then ran in the direction that Unicron had told him. After about 3 minutes of running faster than he ever had before, without feeling even the slightest bit of fatigue, he viewed a motorcycle and it's driver in the distance. Zane slowed down considerably to a walk and yelled out.
"Hey, didn't think I would meet any other life besides trees, trees, and more trees."
The person -Jack- stopped his conversation with what seemed like himself.
"Oh, well uhh, hello... Say, what are you doing here?"
"I could say the same to you as well. But if you must know, I am taking my morning walk to keep my spirits up. Now, what are you doing here?"
Jack sputtered for a second before answering,"Um, well, if you must know I am just taking Ar- my motorcycle for a test run."
"Nice save, Jack. Not. Next time don't your lies so obvious. AND LEARN TO SCHOOL YOUR MICRO EXPRESSIONS!... And I've started yelling at people in my head. That's normal. Let's see, perhaps he will go away if tensions rise…"
"Really? It seems like it has quite a few miles on it. Did you get it from a dump? I could help you find a much better vehicle for your needs."
The motorcycle revved its engine in what seemed like indignation and anger, all the while Jack looked more nervous than he had been before
"Well, ummm, I need to go before Arc... I mean I need to go before my mom worries about where I am…" And with that, Jack and Arcee went racing off in the direction they came from.
"Well, that was almost too easy. Now, to continue working on my base. Oh! But first, Unicron, Primus, where are you?!"
"OH. IF IT ISN'T THE FLESHY PEST. WHAT DO YOU WANT? I WAS HAVING SO MUCH FUN LAUGHING AT YOU."
"My apologies. Unicron takes some getting use to. Even I still can be surprised by him."
"It is alright. But, isn't he the God of Chaos. Wouldn't he have to be unpredictable?"
A moment's pause and then Primus continued.
"What do you need?"
"I want to know why when I used the power I was hurt so badly. It felt as if every cell in my body was deteriorating. And, now since I think about it, it made me extremely hungry. I feel like I haven't eaten anything in days."
"Well, your body is not yet use to channeling the power of Chaos so the pain was most likely your body adjusting. The hunger was from using the power, and the strain of it on your body. While your body will slowly adjust to using larger and larger amounts of it, I still wouldn't recommend using too much of the power at once. That might once again overload your body and cause even more intense pain. So be careful of what you do."
"Of course. I need to continue working on the base. But I would appreciate it if the two of you were to stay in contact with me, that way if I have to ask for help it will be quick to come."
"Whatever you need."
{_~_}
"You chose someone, so now you get to help me get someone."
"I GUESS THAT WAS THE DEAL. WELL THEN, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OF WHO YOU WISH FOR YOUR PRODIGY?"
"Yes. That person there in Battle Ground seems perfect. So, you know the drill."
"YES. I HOPE HE TURNS TO CHAOS."
Primus stayed quiet, not quite sure what to say.
