OoOoO
It was night time, normally it became chilly out here but I wasn't cold for once. Matter a fact I was sweating and panting hard from my prior run. My shoes were filled with sand, I could feel it in my cloth's that was stuck there rubbing against my skin irritatingly. It hurt but I couldn't concentrate on it right now if I tried. I stood there like an animal stunned, uncertain at what laid before it, frightened. The landscape around me, once a dark shade of brown at night, was now black from were it had been unsettled brutally and suddenly revealing the black and dark gray underneath. Random spot's around me were aflame, smoke, ash, and amber's littering the sky.
It had become a battle field.
The ground suddenly trembled making me gasp and stumble but I caught myself in time not to fall over. I admittedly jumped again this time really falling backwards as two large metal trunks stomped pass me, mechanics shifting, hissing and turning. Gazing up I found they led up to a massive torso, with arms and legs. It was a collossus made completely out of metal. He walked by me and up the dune not evening recollecting that he noticed me, that I was even there. I watched him raise his right arm over his head, a strong metal plated fist grasping a impressive yet odd shaped weapon. It disappeared, somehow, on his back. With only a few steps he made his way over the dune but he was tall enough I could still see him despite my significantly smaller size.
For some reason, instead of running away, like I should have been doing to begin with, I scrambled to my feet and ran forward, heart pounding against my ribs. Then, there over the dune were two more colossus. One was a rust red color, its frame beaten, broken, worn, and flaking chipped paint. I wondered briefly if his red coat was once a brilliant maroon, or maybe even a bright pure red. The other in a similar physical condition, just a terribly faded yellow was bouncing something. . .a. . .it was a head! He was bouncing a head on his foot like a soccer player would a soccer ball! He was acting just like one, too. The head was nearly unrecognizable, I believe the only reason why I knew what it was, was the optic sockets and jaw. It looked like the mech had put it to a grinder. Fluids, both dry and still moist, were splattered like paint on it, some had made it too the mech's foot and leg. Or perhaps it was his own.
I didn't know what to think of all this. Since I could remember the world I lived in was always changing around me faster than the seasons. Usually it was never good changes either. But here, in front of me, were creature's that I wasn't sure was a good or bad thing to see. Autobot's. I've been reading just as well as hearing rumor's that they were returning after years of absence. Why they really left has been unknown to the public, well, since they left. I wasn't even born yet when they up and left. From what I heard, though, the Autobot's of 'then', weren't the Autobot's of 'now'. Something had changed. It was either them or something else may have caused this.
I suppose it was curiosity of the unknown, unfamiliar, intriguing that kept me standing were I was, however foolhardy.
Then I noticed they were looking at me. . .
"What is your designation, little one?" The largest one rumbled; the same one who had stepped past me.
I pointed at myself stupidly. The large one nodded.
"B-Blair. . .Livington."
The two mech's to his right, my left, had started arguing about something, in, what I could only guess, was the Cybertronian language, but we ignored it. Even though the yellow one was holding the head in one hand in a hostile manner.
"My name is Optimus Prime. These two-" referring back to the two mech's whom paused to turn and look first to the faded blue and red then to me. I shifted on my hips. "-are Sunstreaker and Sideswipe."
I would look back on this day and not question fate and her decision to bring myself and these colossus together. I would only be happy that it happened despite it all...
End?. . .
OoOoO
A/N:
Firstly, when I prictured the characters in my head, I get `07 Optimus Prime with slight variations such as his face, which pretty much looks like his G1 look. Whiles Sunstreaker & Side's pretty much looked like there Universe forms with elements of the movie style also, but you can picture them how you want. Secondly, I'm trying for a new style here, don't know if it's really different from my previous works but oh well. Oh, if anyone thinks that I should be this under the movie category tell me. I think it should but not really sure since the character's can be viewed however.
Quick dabble that I'll probably never get back to. Perhaps in the (far)future but not soon, but I'll leave it as incomplete for now. . .I do have other chapter's writen down in a notebook, right now I just have other more important things on my plate. Why I wrote this? The muse, baby. Do not question it because it is surperior and far more strong willed. That and it kinda came to me in a dream, silly, yet interesting things, really.
Review! Constructive crit. welcomed. I will NOT take your flames.
