Chapter 8
I do not own anything from Transformers.
Thank you so much for the reviews and follows so far. I really appreciate it.
Somewhere in the cosmos…..
First, came the pretty colors, and then light, and then the colors again. Then the stars began to fly by so fast that they could not be processed properly in her brain or her processors.
Then the fire began to consume her sight. She tried to gain control, but knew she would crash and it would be hard and it would hurt.
The clouds seemed to move as she entered the atmosphere then the vegetation came closer, and finally the surface came and she finally stopped.
At first, she didn't know if she was alive and lay there very still as the species of the planet began to settle after her crash. She smelled the smoke surrounding her from the impact, but didn't care. The squeals, and calls of frightened alien species were enough to annoy her, but she realized she was hearing them and she must still be alive.
And then the pain began to permeate throughout her body, and she groaned loudly. She was severely damaged, and could not move right now. She wondered if she could transform to human form, and if she could breathe the air here.
She did a quick scan, that was painful, and found the planet to be breathable, but the oxygen was a heavier element than Earth, so it would be difficult, but doable. If not, she would have to stay in her robotic form.
Willing herself, Orianna began to change her form, and cried out as she became human again, and turned over on her back laying there breathing heavily and staring into the pink sky of the foreign planet.
She would be better able to hide herself in this form in case Unicron sent scouts to search for her even though she was able to send him through a wormhole and once again delay his journey to Earth. Some of his soldiers stayed behind and missed the wormhole hence her predicament now.
Orianna cried out again as she tried to move her leg, and looked down at it thanking Primus it was not broken, but very bruised.
She silently cursed the defeat she suffered. She almost had him, almost.
Yet, she knew even with her powers she was still half-human and could still be defeated from her enemy.
She did smile at the look on Unicron's face when he first realized who she was. The daughter of Optimus Prime, and a Prime herself. The product of a Cybertronian and a human from the planet Earth.
She would die before she would let Earth be attacked from the evil that still traveled through space, though she had her doubts if she would be able to do it. Besides, she made a promise…..a promise to her mother that she would return to Earth one day.
She wanted to cry, but fought the urge. She really wanted to see her mother and father again. She barely knew them, and had a mission that was assigned to her from the moment she was given life, but she really wanted to see them again.
Outer space was so lonely and cold, and she was getting frustrated at not being able to complete her mission, and return to the arms of her mother.
She processed the picture in her mind of Gabrielle Ryan, and Optimus Prime in holoform. She could not get the look of their faces out of her mind as she had departed Earth almost two years ago.
Orianna brought her knees to her chest despite the pain of her injuries, and pushed back her white-blonde hair as strays blew across her face in the wind. Her spark glowed brightly in her chest as she thought of them.
She took another deep breath, and sat there for a while she tried to figure out the extent of her injuries and the damage to her robotic and craft mode. In human form she was as organic as any creature in the universe, but she could transform at any time into a spacecraft and an alien robot.
She was also a healer. She still wondered why she healed the Decepticon Barricade sometimes, but something had strongly urged her too. She had sensed he would continue to play a part in her mother's life in the future despite what her father may have thought otherwise.
In the two years since she had been gone from Earth she had seen so many worlds destroyed by the evil Unicron, but she was able to use her powers of healing to give them hope again.
She had stopped sending signals to Optimus Prime on purpose, because she had no idea when she could or would return to Earth, and did not need to put her parents through anymore agony then they were already suffering from her departure.
Then a few months ago she became hot on the trail of Unicron, and they finally came face to face. Now, she lay here defeated, but her victory was she was able to delay him once more.
She was in organic human form, which meant she would start to feel what humans feel soon, and that would be hunger and thirst.
She was still a human, so she did not know what was safe for consumption on this planet. She began to scan the area, and found water nearby, and it was safe for her to consume.
Picking herself off the ground she limped over to the stream and scanned it again to make sure it was safe, and began to quench her thirst. She was in a lot of pain, and did not know how long it would take for her to heal. Another quick scan showed the injuries were minor, but still painful.
She sat and wondered if she should start sending signals to Earth again.
She was so exhausted that she would worry about it later. She scanned the area again and found no foreign threats, so she was safe for now.
She began to get comfortable for the time being and would worry about repairs on her body later. Right now, she needed to recharge, and rest.
Her eyes began to close when she heard footsteps in the distance. She froze and tried to scan again, but was coming up with nothing on her scanners.
She wondered if they had been damaged after all. She was too sore to move, and would have wait it out. Her spark began to pulsate in her chest, and she breathed heavily.
She knew she would have to become robotic mode again, and defend herself.
The trees began to part, and Orianna wanted to scream in fear, but couldn't for fear of attracting something more dangerous.
She was about to change back into robot mode when the trees parted before her and the figure in the white robe, long black hair, and glowing white-blue eyes appeared before her.
Primus!
In humanoid form no less. Orianna visibly relaxed as he observed her for a moment.
Orianna stood in awe of Primus, and then suddenly kneeled before him.
"I cannot express my regret enough that I was not able to complete my mission, but please give me another chance," Orianna said with her head bowed.
Primus looked over her with amusement, and Orianna frowned slightly.
"Are you saying that you were not successful?" He asked with a slight smile.
Orianna shook her head sadly. "I was able to throw him off course, but he will still reach Earth before I can get to him again," she answered with a catch in her voice.
"Stand child," Primus ordered gently.
Orianna did as was told, and stood facing the god of light, and the creator of her ancestry, well half of it.
"You have taken on a huge burden so soon after being given life. However, there is only so much you can do. I fear am the one responsible for that. You are powerful, Orianna, but you are not invincible. Besides, there has been a twist of fate that I did not anticipate," Primus explained.
Orianna raised her human eyebrow in question. "What is that?"
"Your mother and father need you on Earth. You shall return there and be reunited with them once more," Primus said awaiting her reaction.
Orianna could not hide her happiness at seeing them again.
Then Orianna thought of what Primus was saying and asked, "Are they alright?"
Primus nodded and said, "For now. I think you will be better served on Earth with the Prime and your human mother."
"There is an enemy you will need to assist with. Humans are a very young race, but a very violent one, and what they are doing is worrying me," Primus added.
Orianna nodded to her god. She was so excited she could barely speak.
"Heal yourself. You should be safe here for the time being," Primus said.
"I will. Thank you. I really an honored by your presence," Orianna said meaning every word.
Primus chuckled. "Your mother met me once."
Orianna's eyes widened in shock at his revelation. Her mother, a human, met their god?
"You look like her in human form. She is a strong, and brave woman. I know that you are eager to get to know her," he continued.
"Very much so, and my father," Orianna said.
"Your father is a great warrior, and a natural leader. Together with the human there was nothing that could have prevented them coming together. There is many who would disagree with me about the universe and your birth, but I have no doubts there is fate to it that can only bring good, and for that you have a destiny to fulfill."
"Unicron said I needed to be destroyed, because I have upset the workings of the universe. Is that true?" Orianna asked. She had been questioning it herself for a while.
"What is it you seek Orianna?" Primus asked.
Orianna thought for a moment. "I am so sorry, but I have been having my doubts about my existence, because I feel that I have upset the smooth cosmic flow of universe for being from two different worlds," Orianna said feeling relieved about the doubts she had been for a while, and finally being able to speak them.
"That is natural, my child. Remember, you are unique, and very special. If I felt that would happen in this vast universe, I would have not allowed it," Primus answered smiling to her.
Orianna lowered her head and said, "But I will never fit in on either world."
Primus looked around, and said gently, "Perhaps not, but it is up to you how you handle it. It will also be up to your mother and father how they handle it as well. It is time to return to Earth."
Orianna wanted to ask another question, but when she looked up, Primus was gone.
She stayed on the young planet for a little more time while she healed. She had so many questions, and not enough answers.
Yet, she looked forward to seeing Gabrielle and Optimus Prime again.
