Bwahah! Another chapter in only a day, and not in oh, say, (does some math) 6 months since the last chapter. Still sorry about that, by the way. Anywho. Here is another chapter and it is sticking with the short chapter trend, so I can try to get you the chapters faster. We shall see how that goes.
Anyways. Hope you enjoy the chapter. And that's about it. Yup. Now I am just dragging this out. Okay. Ima go now. BYEEEE!
In a flash of blue light, the scene changed from Ratchet and Evelyn talking to Evelyn walking thru a giant room that was illuminated by the thousands of blue lights that lined the walls. Jack couldn't help the awe this sight inspired, all the bots moving up and down the walls on moving platforms with arms loaded with pads. It was, amazing.
"This is the great archive room. It holds millions of years of Cybertronion history." The children couldn't believe how, big the room was. And Jack guessed every one of those blue lights was a data pad with old and new stories. Not only was it breath taking for the children, it was heart breaking for their guardians who knew that, they would never be able to see this building again. It had been one of the first places destroyed by Megatron when he started his rampage. It was, hard to think of all the lost history that would forever be lost.
Evelyn walked towards a desk where about four other bots were sitting watching a screen. Walking up behind them and looked down at the screen, Eve watched for a moment, confused about what the news was talking about/ "Anything new on Cybertron, or all the same depressing news?" The bots turned around to look at their boss, startled by her sudden appearance behind them.
"Seems to be so far, but they promised that in a minuet of two they would be bringing us the latest news on that last Gladiatorial fight. So, there is that." The young bot who was speaking turned to his boss again and smiled at her. "I only tell you because I know how much you fallow that barbaric sport that, and I quote, 'Is a relic of the past and should stay in the past,' end quote." Eve laughed at the young bot.
"Well aren't you cheeky today. And just because it sounds preachy, doesn't make it untrue. It is perpetuating a time when we were uneducated and barbaric. It keeps good smart bots in slavery like conditions, when we should be educating every class. Not only those who are created to be in charge."
"Well talk is good, but cheep. You gotta have backing and status." At this point, Eve had turned and was standing on a plat form. She had a defeated look on her face. She new what he had said was true. She didn't have a politically loud one, so she really couldn't do anything about the injustice of the world, and it made her spark hurt. Jack watched as the platform rose high up into the air. It only took a moment before he and the rest of Team Prime started to rise with her.
After getting to a certain level, Eve stopped the platform and grabbed a couple of pads and sat down against the banister. Looking over her shoulder, Jack reported that she was reading the writing of one of the first 13 Primes. Ratchet explained that Evelyn was fascinated by history and the knowledge that she found in it. She believed no matter what problem you were having in politics or even in daily life, looking back at history, you could find all the answers.
"That seems a bit, far fetched. You can't find all your answers in books. You have to experience life. Not just read it out of a pad." Arcee couldn't help the bite in her tone as it was, well, stupid to be so naive, and Arcee had the awful feeling that it would get Optimus in trouble as things went along.
"Well you would think that. And yet, whenever anything went wrong in her life, she seemed to always find the answer in her books. They never seemed to fail her. Maybe that was why she was chosen to be a Prime. Because of how she can read deeply into things, and find the solution to her problems anywhere." They were pulled out of their conversation by a loud commotion coming from the screen down below and it startled Evelyn who jerked around to see what was happening. She only had a moment to look though because the sudden movement caused her to fall between the two rungs that were keeping her on the platform.
With a scream Eve started falling back. It was such a shock that none of the team knew what to do as she fell to the floor. They heard someone calling Eve's name in the background, but there was nothing they could do. She fell hard to the floor, a thunderous crash resounding thru the building. Raf turned and leaned into Miko, not able to look at Evelyn laying unconscious on the ground. People started rushing towards her, screaming about needing to get her help.
Then, out of no where, Jack felt like someone was pulling his body straight to the floor. It was startling and it pulled a scream from him as his body rushed to meet the floor. Not knowing what to expect, Jack covered his head with his arms, trying to brace himself for impact. And then everything went white.
