Reawakened
Wind whistled around his audio receptors as Blitzwing cruised through the sky, towards the forests and mountains. Underneath him, the city of Detroit illuminated the night with artificial light. The triple-changer was a little troubled by Megatron's sudden order to abort his mission. He had been on it for only a few orbital cycles, avoiding the attention of the Autobots and humans just as his leader had told him. Well not exactly, on his mission he had revealed himself twice in front of the human girl, Sari. Twice he had felt panic course through him whenever he saw her in danger. Twice he had saved her life.
Something was seriously wrong with him. Everything he did recently on his mission defied his Decepticon programming, it was illogical. Blitzwing was not one for illogical and meaningless actions. So why had he, all the suddenly, started to act on impulses. It was more of Hothead's and Random's way to do things whenever the mood strikes. But this was different. He had saved an organic from danger; Blitzwing emphasized the word 'save'. Saving organics was for Optimus and his band of foolish Autobots. Organics were nothing more than soft and fragile life forms. Why would Blitzwing care about them? But… Blitzwing felt a bit doubtful of himself as he thought about Sari.
Though she disliked the Decepticons as much as her Autobot friends, observation of their behavior fueled her distaste, Blitzwing found her to be interesting (for an organic) as with the rest of her kind. She was adventurous, eager and curious to experience the world around her. She had that spark of a Sparkling, a spark of innocence, a spark that was long gone from the triple-changer. Years on the battlefield had hardened him; he was no longer the same mech he used to be many stellar cycles ago. Life no longer fascinated him as it once did, the universe no longer held mysteries. The unknown no longer dazzled nor motivated him to discover, the war had taken much of his life-cycle away from him that the only life he knew was for the fight. Maybe that's what had fueled his actions and need to save her every time, a motivation to preserve that untouched spirit of hers.
But Decepticons weren't programmed for such heroics. It actually tired the triple-changer. Although he felt relief when Sari was out of harm's way, it wasn't as pleasurable when he randomly obliterated things and caused chaos. Already he can feel his other two personalities itching to do something deviant and destructive. Just Hothead though, Random could amuse himself with anything.
But Sari wasn't the only thing on his mind. During his investigation and observation into the abnormal energy spikes, bizarre things have been occurring in the human city. The first being that pink organic creature that seemed to enjoy stealing soft human Sparkling dolls, the second being that blue liquid entity that had caused havoc at the harbor of Detroit. When Blitzwing had first encountered with the jumping, pink organic he wasn't sure what to make of the situation. More questions popped up when Sari came into the picture. It was obvious that she was involved with the recent events, the strange creatures that had appeared in Detroit. Every time they would appear, so would Sari.
Blitzwing's thoughts wandered to the strange card that had fallen into his servos. Obviously these organics weren't native to Earth, yet they existed by some means. They had supernatural abilities; the pink one was able to jump great distances and possess inanimate objects, the blue one had the power to manipulate water. When Sari came (with that strange stick) accompanied with that yellow organic, she confronted them and tried to subdue them with her powers. Once they were down, she would use that stick. And by unexplainable means they would transform into cards. Blitzwing found the whole thing to be a little too surreal.
And who was this Clow Reed the yellow organic talked about? He was a Human, that's as much as he knew. Did he have something to do with all of this? He had never heard of Humans wielding such powers, the only things Humans had as a medium of their abilities was their technology and those flimsy scraps of metal they called weapons. What he saw was definitely not technology of any kind he had seen before. Not Human, Cybertronian or any of the alien races on other planets. Maybe it wasn't technology at all. Who heard of pulling out an organic female out of a card to be base on science? Then what was it? Blitzwing searched his processor for an answer, but finding nothing that matched.
He decided to look to the Internet for answers, but he couldn't access it now, not while he was flying. He would have to wait till he arrived back at base. Speaking of which, the city gave way to an expanse of darkness, sharply contrasting with the bright city. In the moonlight Blitzwing could see a sea of pine trees. A few mountains jutted from the forest like islands. He had finally left Detroit. Coming close to one of the mountains, Blitzwing began to descend. He powered down his thrusters slowly as the ground neared him. A few inches above the ground and Blitzwing transformed. Both of his metallic feet landed on the earth, the soft soil cushioned the sound of his arrival. Walking towards the looming mountain, Blitzwing searched around the foot of it.
Hidden amongst the foliage was a sealed metal door. The triple-changer approached it. A device hidden next to door the sealed door activated. A holographic violet light streamed over Blitzwing, scanning him. The doors smoothly slid open, granting him access after the device confirmed him to be a Decepticon. Blitzwing crossed the threshold, entering the dim and cool cave. The temperature dropped considerably as Blitzwing went deeper. The doors behind him closed, leaving him the dark. Without breaking his stride, Blitzwing activated a pair of headlights. The gadgets clicked as they raised their heads and shined a beam of light, illuminating the way. On the other side of the underground passage, soft violet light emanated, marking where the cave led to. As Blitzwing neared it become easier to see, he deactivated his headlights. They whirred as they dropped back into their slots and clicked into place.
Exiting from the passage way Blitzwing entered into the large control center of their base. Standing in the middle of the room was Lugnut, looking better than he had been when Blitzwing last saw him. Lugnut had his back turned towards the triple-changer, unaware of his presence. Before Blitzwing could stop himself Random took control, a Cheshire Cat-like grin spread across his black face and he stalked towards the Decepticon.
"Luggy! I'm home!" Blitzwing announced his arrival, giving Lugnut a hearty pat on the back.
The five-optic Decepticon grunted from the sudden slap and turned towards Blitzwing.
"I see you have returned Blitzwing, how was the mission?" Lugnut asked.
"Same as usual, nothing much veally. I vas so bored, I almost missed you! Hahahaha!!!" Random laughed. "Of course I vas called back by Megatron. But enough about me, how are jou faring?"
"Never better! I long for another round with those Autobot-scum. I will clear my name for Megatron!" Lugnut shouted; his voice full of fiery fervor as he raised his left arm (servo clenched). His whole arm fell off his body, clanging on the floor. Both Blitzwing and Lugnut stared at the fallen arm.
Blitzwing switched back to his dominant personality, Icy.
"Lugnut,"
"Gah… it's nothing…" he bent down to pick up his severed arm, but Blitzwing beat him to it. The triple-changer stood up and reattached the fanatic Decepticon's arm.
"Jou still need to give jourself time to repair,"
"N-no, I am no Autobot weakling! I don't need rest, I am fine!" Lugnut yelled back. Blitzwing put some distance between him and the fuming Decepticon.
"Silence both of you," Megatron's drawling voice came from one side of the cave. Blitzwing and Lugnut both respectfully kneeled in front of the Decepticon leader as he entered. "Blitzwing, I hope you have found something useful on your mission,"
"I have, mein lord. Somezing jou vill find quite interesting," Blitzwing answered. "But zir, vhy have you aborted zhe mission so early?
"Do not doubt the master's decisions!" Lugnut stood up in rage.
"Easy, Lugnut. I had not originally planned to cancel the mission so soon. But the recent events have started to catch the attention of the Autobots. It would have made it risky to continue and the possibility of revealing ourselves is too great," Megatron stated. "Now then, show me what you have seen, Blitzwing,"
Blitzwing stood up and walked towards the computer. Typing in a few keys, a red glowing socket rose from the machine, above the keyboard. The triple-changer bent down in front of the socket and tapped into his processor. On his forehead a small point of blue light formed. Out came a stream of electric blue pixilated light. The stream of data travelled through the air and entered into the socket. Once the transfer was complete, Blitzwing stood up as the socket retreated into the computer. The machine began to process the data, the computer monitor switched from its purple screen to a black screen. Pressing one more key, Blitzwing played a video of what he recorded over his mission and stepped back. Static fizzed across the screen for a second before clearing to a view of Detroit. Judging by the orange light and elongated shadows of the skyscrapers, it was sunset the time Blitzwing recorded the scene.
"Day von, mein scanners haff not picked up any energy signals. Whether zhe abnormal energy spikes are true or simply an anomaly, it is too early to azume," Blitzwing's voice recorded in the video gave his own commentary.
The scene changed, night had fallen on Detroit. Judging by the sky, Blitzwing was high in the air.
"Day tu," from the video they heard a whirr as Blitzwing changed personalities. "I say it's still day von, a vew cycles after midnight don't count," came Random's dis-corded voice, with another whirr, he switched back to Icy. "I am on the chase of a strange, pink organic. A spike of energy haz been detected prior to its appearance in von of zhe human stores. Zhere it is right now,"
The camera shifted downwards towards the city and zoomed in. Jumping from one building to the next, a blur of pink zipped through. The pink blur was followed by a long tail of human plush toys. Almost as if it knew that it was being followed. The pink blur stopped on top of one of the skyscraper. The Decepticons caught a glimpse of a pink rabbit-like organic with sharp slanted green eyes topped with long thin ears and tail. The organic jumped off the building and darted off. Megatron looked on with indifference.
"Slag," Blitzwing swore. "I lost it,"
The scene changed; once again the sun was falling behind the horizon. Blitzwing was once again on the roof of a building, looking down at the streets. Both the roads and sidewalk were deserted, except for a lone walking figure.
"Sari!" Professor Sumdac called out as he recognized his daughter on screen.
"Silence!" Lugnut hushed the Professor.
From the computer came the sound of shattering glass as the display window on the store next to Sari broke apart from the inside-out. Standing on the strewn shards was the same pink rabbit organic.
"Is that…" started Sari. From behind her a small, flying yellow organic popped out.
"A Clow Card! That's the Jump card! Get it Sari!" the yellow creature finished the girl's sentence.
Sari looked around before she grabbed something around her neck. It appeared to be a miniscule key. Sari held it in front of her; a gold glowing circle appeared around her as she chanted out an incantation.
The Key which hides the power of the Dark
Show your true powers before me
I, Sari, command you under our contract
RELEASE!
The three Decepticons heard the Professor gasp as bright light enveloped Sari. Megatron looked at the Professor before turning back to the screen with mild amusement. Through the brightness they could make out Sari's form. The key in front of her grew, the girl grabbed it and the light faded. She was holding a pink stick, topped with a bird-like tip. The pink organic, Jump (as the yellow organic named it) looked at the duo before glancing behind it. A soft white glow came from the store as the inanimate plush dolls levitated and harassed Sari.
"I forgot, these are only plush toys!" exclaimed Sari when one of them harmlessly bounced off of her.
"Sari, it's only trying to distract you! Catch it!" the yellow organic shouted. Sari ran through the storm of plush toys. Jump retreated as the girl came after it. Blitzwing followed them, catching the scene on the go. They watched as Sari attempted to grab onto Jump, but missed as she was face planted by it. She tried a second time. Megatron cocked one of his optics in surprise as he saw Jump shoot to the sky with Sari as if the extra weight was nothing. The camera moved up, they were higher than Blitzwing was flying. They heard a faint scream from Sari. Jump shot off again, leaving Sari behind. Gravity pulled her down.
"Sari, no!" the Professor had his hands and face pressed against the energy wall that kept him trapped.
The scene abruptly cut off, Blitzwing was hiding behind a tree and watched as Sari confronted Jump. Megatron watched Blitzwing, who had his attention towards the screen, suspiciously. This he needed to look into. Jump landed gracefully on the ground.
"Return to the guise-" Sari lifted the stick above her head. Jump bounded away from the girl. "Hey, wait a moment!"
Jump bounced from one the direction to another, attempting to confuse the girl. With a swivel it bounded towards the exit.
"Not so fast!" Sari pulled out something from her pocket. The same golden circle appeared as she threw the object into the air. The Decepticons saw that it was a card. "Become a binding chain, Windy!"
Sari struck the card with the stick. A sudden gale blew through the park as an organic female with long hair rose from the card. She spread her arms, unfolding her insect like wings and glided towards Jump. Megatron, Lugnut and Professor Sumdac looked on with mute amazement as the wind woman looped around Jump and tightened. Jump struggled in its bonds.
"Impossible," came Blitzwing's recorded voice.
Sari whooped in joy at her success, but it was short lived as a cloud of plush dolls made its way towards the park. They converged at Jump and assimilated with it. The creature grew in size, the camera moved upwards as it began to rise, soon reaching five stories in height. It glared down at Sari and her yellow companion. The creature let out a comical howl and began to advance on the two. Sari ran away from the giant and sheltered herself under a tree. Megatron smirked at the girl's foolishness. The card raised one its foot to squish the girl but ended up losing its balance and falling on its back. The colossal creature exploded, raining the park with plush toys. Sari ran towards the middle of the mess.
"All right, let's seal it off while we can!" said the yellow organic.
Sari raised the stick above her again and chanted out:
Return to the guise that you were meant to be in!
CLOW CARD!
The sound of chime bells rang as light rippled from the tip of the stick. Wind blew and light exploded as Jump was lifted into the air as wisps of pink come out of its body. It disintegrated as the last bits of its form was sucked into the staff tip. All that remained was a similar card floating in the air.
"Well done, Sari!" the creature went to congratulate the girl.
The scene cut abruptly to late morning at the docks.
"Day three, I haff just detected anuder spike of energy. Already something is causing havoc at zhe docks," the camera turned towards a large cargo boat rocking violently. Water splashed from underneath it.
The boat bucked, a man fell screaming into the lake. A whirlpool soon formed around the boat. Dock workers began shouting orders, the sirens of police cars, ambulance and fire trucks increased as they parked around the boat. Soon the Autobots entered and transformed into their robot forms. They proceeded to help the people off the boat, one of them (Megatron recognized as that annoying cyber-ninja) dived into the lake. Seconds passed and soon the water stilled. Prowl shot out of the lake with the boatman in hand. The Autobots and Sari rushed next to him. The scene played on as the police, firefighters and paramedic left. The Autobots and the girl left as well and work resumed at the docks.
"It seems zhat despite zhe girl's role in zhese strange events, her Autobot friends know little. Vhat could she be hiding?" Blitzwing recorded his concern. "For now, I vill stay and keep watch here,"
The scene changed once more, the sun had just fallen and the moon rose high in the sky. A column of water had risen from the lake and loomed over the dock. Police men surrounded the column and launch rockets at it. The explosions did little against the mass of liquid.
"Oh-hohoho! Such a vonderful sight isn't it?" Random Blitzwing chuckled. "Vhatever vas in the lake has come out, oh look!"
Tentacles of water latched onto two police vehicles and picked them up with ease. Throwing them, one of the police cars landed on the ground, the other crashed into a vehicle parking building complex. The Autobots soon arrived, again to subdue the raging liquid entity. But their attacks were useless against the formless mass.
"It seems the Autobots haff met zheir match!" Random Blitzwing narrated the scene as if he was a commentator of an arena duel. "Oh my, zhats got tu hurt,"
A large jet of water slammed into Bulkhead before he was rocketed into the sky. Crashing he laid there groaning.
"He's going to feel zhat in zhe morning, ah-hahaha!!!" Blitzwing continued to cheer on the water entity. "Uh oh! Somebot's in trouble!"
Bumblebee was being dragged across the docks by a tentacle of water wrapped around his ankle. Water swirled under the yellow bot as swallowed him, trapping him in a cocoon of water. The cocoon began to twist, increasing the pressure inside. Bumblebee shrieked out in pain as he was being crushed alive. With the help of Optimus and Ratchet, they pulled the unconscious Bumblebee out. The other Autobots and Sari ran to his side. Sari once again used the power of her AllSpark key to repair Bumblebee; soon he was good as new.
"And I vas veally hoping that we vould have von less Autobot to vorry," Random Blitzwing whined.
There the recording ended. The screen went back to its violet background.
"Interesting… these spikes of energy bring about strange life forms. Powerful ones…" Megatron noted how powerless the Autobots were against the liquid entity. "Blitzwing, do you have any theories to the girl's involvement in all of this?"
"So far, no mein liege," said Blitzwing.
"No matter, this is a very important piece of information we have unearthed. If weapons and the Autobots are no match against whatever we have seen, imagine how useful it would be to us if we found a way to take control of these life forms," Megatron turned to the triple-changer. " Very good work Blitzwing,"
"Thank jou, zir," he gave Megatron a respectful bow; from the corner of his optics he noticed that Lugnut looked a little downcast. The Decepticon always desperately sought to please his master, seeing another Decepticon receive praise made him a little jealous and dispirited.
"You may be excused to your quarter, the same goes of you Lugnut," he waved away his lieutenants as he walked back to his abode. When Megatron had gone, Blitzwing relaxed himself. So far it seemed that Megatron suspected nothing. Blitzwing was hesitant to show Megatron everything, so he edited the footages beforehand. Censoring the parts where he revealed himself to save Sari. Something like this would have enraged his leader, or maybe even tarnish his image for his insubordination and being soft-Sparked. The Decepticons would banish him and he highly doubt the Autobots would accept him with welcoming arms (even if he did rescue their human). He had to make sure none of this got out.
Blitzwing just remembered that he had a bit of extra research to do; he started towards the computer…
"Sari, what has happened to you?"
Blitzwing turned to look at Professor Sumdac. The inventor was slumped in front of his (smaller) computer, a hand to his face, eyes closed in worry. For a moment the triple-changer pitied him. Then a stab of guilt struck him as he thought about Sari. He shook the feeling away, a little irritated at himself.
"Nozzing has happened to jour Sari," he snapped at the Professor. The human returned a glare back at Blitzwing.
"We'll see about that Decepticon, the Autobots will come and rescue me. If you dare touch my daughter I promise you will pay!" he threatened the triple-changer.
Blitzwing laughed cruelly in front of the Professor.
"Vhat can a puny human like jou do to somevon like me?" satisfied with the Professor's speechlessness, he turned at his heel and strode towards the computer and accessed the Internet.
"Blitzwing, what are you doing?" asked Lugnut.
"Nozzing important, don't mind me," droned Blitzwing. Lugnut left.
On the computer Blitzwing typed the URL address of a search engine. Once the page loaded, Blitzwing entered 'Clow Reed' into the search bar. A second later a few dozen pages appeared ten selected websites per page. Blitzwing selected the first one on the list and hoped it wasn't some random site that had nothing to do with what he was searching for. The title of the webpage read Well-Known Magicians, Sorcerers, Oracles, Fortune-Tellers, Wizards and Witches of History. Magicians, Sorcerers, Oracles, Fortune-Tellers, Wizards and Witches? What or who in Primus were they? Blitzwing opened another internet window and typed them in the search bar.
Scanning through the content of an online encyclopedia, Blitzwing found that humans (long time ago) believed that their world was surrounded by mythical powers, spirits and supernatural beings. Magicians, Sorcerers, Wizards and Witches were well known to wield magic from the energies of the Earth or from other dimensions and realms they believed existed out of the Universe. Oracles and Fortune-Tellers were people who had special abilities to predict the future. As he went through, human views on them varied from culture. Some of them perceived them to be doom-bringers and malevolent people, while others saw them as servant of gods or protectors of Nature and the natural forces.
Blitzwing shook his head. What nonsense was this? Was Clow Reed a superstitious man who believed in such things? It was purely illogical and obviously thought up by primitive minds. Yet the power Sari held was enough to make him think otherwise. Scrolling down the page, he found Clow Reed's name. Clicking on it he was led to a small page that had information about him. Apparently Clow Reed was a well known fortune-teller because of the accuracy of his predictions. People flocked from everywhere to meet him. His cards, which he used to interpret coming events, were made of a mix of Western and Eastern elements. And there the page failed to give more. Blitzwing frowned, that was all people knew of Clow Reed. He searched the other websites, but they too gave the same exact amount of information about him or nothing relevant to him. There were so many holes in Clow Reed's history.
Blitzwing closed the internet pages and rubbed his sore optics. Checking his systems, he needed to recharge. Blitzwing arrived at his quarters. It was simple but spacious. A makeshift desk made of sheets of metal was set at one side of the cave that made his living space. There was also a chair made of scrap metal melted together and reshaped for Blitzwing to sit on. Set on top of his study desk was a small (in Cybertronian standards) a computer screen used for receiving messages from other Decepticons or announcements from Megatron (when his leader couldn't be bothered to leave his quarters). It was blank, a violet light (that faded on and off) indicated that it was not in use but still powered. To the left side of his room was a man-made cliff that made his berth.
Seating himself on it, Blitzwing opened up his subspace container and pulled out a card. It was the strange card that he obtained recently. Blitzwing examined the intrinsic design of it. They were so small to the Decepticon that it somewhat amazed him that humans could create such fine details. He turned the card and looked at the magic circle of Clow Reed. His thoughts went back to docks. Blitzwing couldn't understand, Sari had summoned forth that organic female. The one Blitzwing observed was known to bind things. Yet she was unable to touch the triple-changer. All he saw was a sudden flash of light, the howling of the wind around him and the appearance of the same circle under him.
Could it be… that he too held the same powers as Sari? What a ridiculous thought, it was merely a coincidence that it just so happened when Blitzwing needed a chance to elude Sari's assault. Maybe the girl had lost control of her powers for a nanoclick and it accidentally protected him. Although Blitzwing reasoned with logic, he still couldn't stop that nagging feeling. Tired, he set down the card on the desk and lied down on his berth and soon drifted off into recharge.
---
Blitzwing felt extremely light, both physically and mentally. It was as if the reality of the world lifted and he was free to walk without worry. Blitzwing slowly opened his optics and saw a serene expanse of stars before him. Wait… stars? Blitzwing sat up and frantically looked around. He was no longer on his berth, but in the middle of space. What in the name of Primus happened! Blitzwing began to panic. Okay wait, just calm down, he told himself. The triple-changer checked his scanner to pin point where he was and where was the nearest planet. But his scanner told him that he was still on Earth, recharging.
Blitzwing was confused, how was he here yet still on Earth? Great, now he was in the middle of nowhere with a broken scanner. Oh well, doing nothing won't amount to anything. Blitzwing began his transformation. To his shock, he couldn't. Blitzwing tried again. No results. Blitzwing powered his thrusters. They too were unresponsive. Blitzwing did a quick scan of himself, everything was functioning as normal.
Now Blitzwing was beginning to wonder, his current situation felt somewhat familiar. His thoughts were interrupted when the sound of chime bells reached his audio receptors. He looked ahead and although he saw nothing his Spark yearned to go ahead. It was if a force was gently pulling him. Blitzwing put a servo down; to his amazement he felt resistance. He looked down to see that he was sitting on a stream of tiny stars and glowing dust and other particles of the cosmos.
The stream trailed like a path, lighting his way forward. He picked himself up and began walking. All around Blitzwing was the expanse of space. Stars dotted everywhere around the triple changer. Instead of inky blackness, the stars illuminated the area in a mix of soft blue and black. Streams of celestial dust and matter gave the illusion of clouds and sky. Wherever Blitzwing was it was definitely a sacred place.
As Blitzwing continued to walk he could make out a faded figure in the distance. He picked up the speed as he jogged the rest of the way. The figure appeared more defined, but still faded. He stopped; standing in front of the Decepticon was a human male. The human had thick, long jet black hair that was tied into a ponytail and put over his shoulder. His eyes were closed, a soft smile on his lips, as he regarded Blitzwing with a sense of calm gratitude. A pair of full moon spectacles rested on his nose, a strand of string was attached to the right side of his glasses and looped under and around his right ear.
He was dressed in a large, silky black cloak with sky blue trimmings. A large white cuff made the collar. On the center of cloak (on top of his chest if the cloak was closed over him) was a golden circle knitted on. In the circle was a silver four pointed star set upright. Underneath the silver star was the same star, but golden and set diagonally. Together they made an eight pointed star with gold and silver arms. The star emblem was split in half because of the open cloak.
Under the cloak the man wore a lilac silk vest with gold trimmings and pearl white buttons. From Blitzwing's research into human civilizations, the vest was of oriental design. The vest extended all the way to his feet like his cloak. At the tips of his vest, in front of his feet, hung a pair of glazed orbs of the same sky blue color on either side. Strands of ebony threads dangled from under the orbs. From the chest down, Blitzwing could see that the man wore a milky white robe, an onyx silk belt wrapped around his midsection.
But Blitzwing could tell he was not any normal human. First off he was not solid, the triple-changer could see right through him. And second, for a human he was almost the same height as he was. That was impossible. With a whirr, Random took control.
"Eizer you're a giant or I've gotten shorter!" Blitzwing let out an echoing chuckle.
The human in front of him expressed his amusement as he let out a deep, rich laughter.
"You have quite an interesting character, Blitzwing," his voice reflected off a feeling of good-will towards the Decepticon.
Shocked, Hothead took control.
"How'd jou know mein name human! Are jou affiliated vith zhe Autobots?" shouted the more aggressive personality.
Still the human looked at Blitzwing calmly.
"I know many things Blitzwing, but do you know me?"
Icy took over as he examined the human before him.
"Jou couldn't be, Clow Veed?"
"Indeed I am," said Clow.
"But, vhat are jou doing in a place like zhis? More importantly vhere am I?" asked Blitzwing.
"I am to guess that you have never experienced a dream such as this before?"
"Dreams I haff had before, random images zhat play across me. But vhat I haff experienced is no dream. It is too orderly," Blitzwing replied.
"There is a difference between the dreams people have every night and the dreams that tell of future events. Some say dreams are a way for spirits to contact those in the physical world. You are experiencing one right now," Clow's voice was intertwined with wise mysticism as he spoke about the realm of the subconscious.
Blitzwing just stared at the sorcerer.
"Jou saying that you're…"
"Dead? Indeed, I have passed on many years ago" Clow finished the triple-changer.
"And these 'dreams' I haff been having?"
"The first one was a premonition of events to come with Sari and Watery. And this one of course is me coming from the spirit world to talk with you,"
"Jou know of zhe girl?"
"Yes, I have kept watched over Sari from the spirit world,"
"But vhy? And vhat is the importance of telling me zhis?"
"In time your question will be answered, Blitzwing, for now there is something I must do,"
"Vhat?" Blitzwing was hesitant, suspicious of the man.
"The reawakening of your true powers, give me your right hand,"
Blitzwing's servo stayed next to his side.
"Reawakening? Vhat are jour talking about?" Blitzwing was becoming a little irked at Clow Reed's indirect answers.
"Hidden inside is a power you have acquired during life, it has assimilated inside you, lying dormant till now. I can feel your reluctance, I can understand that, but what I am doing is necessary,"
Blitzwing wasn't sure what happened, but soon the feeling a doubt washed away from him. Blitzwing willingly held up his right servo, the same servo that caught the Watery card. Clow Reed extended his nearly transparent hand and held onto Blitzwing's servo like a hand shake. Turning it around, so that his hand was on top of Blitzwing he released his hold. Resting on Blitzwing's palm was a golden pendant shaped just like the magic circle of Clow Reed. A strand of string was looped through it, making a simple necklace. Blitzwing stared at the accessory and looked back at Clow Reed with a confused look.
"Zhat's it?"
"Not yet," and Clow Reed began to chant.
Key of Clow
White light began to envelope around the pendant as it floated in the air. Blitzwing look on with mute surprise.
There is someone wishing for a contract with you
His name is Blitzwing
Key, grant him the power
RELEASE!
Blitzwing yelped in surprise as light exploded and the pendant grew in size. He instinctively put his arms over himself, almost as if the pendant in front of him was a bomb.
"Blitzwing, it is time. Accept and awaken the powers within you," Clow Reeds voice traveled over the blinding light.
The triple-changer slowly made his way towards the enlarged pendant and grabbed onto it. The disk spun around him before implanting on Blitzwing's right servo. Blitzwing flinched, but there was no pain. He looked in shock as his servo began to go through a transformation. His digits became thinner as they extended, five lines of gold grew from the pendant. Then, as suddenly as it started, it stopped. Blitzwing raised his servo close to his optics, turning it around as he inspected every part of it. The pendant seemed to meld in with his servo like a metallic tattoo. The purple band of metal that used to wrap around it was gone, his servo was pure ebony black. His digits were longer and thinner, but not as long and thin as Starscream's (who's were like talons). Lines of gold traced his digits from the embedded pendant.
Blitzwing looked up at Clow Reed, who still smiled at him. His face switched to Hothead.
"Vhat haff jou done to me, Human!"
"Your powers have been reawakened,"
"Vhat powers!" shouted Blitzwing.
"The power of magic," Clow said simply.
Blitzwing's face spun and landed on Random.
"Jou mean zhoes superstitious zings jou humans zink about? Zhat's just crazy!"
"I did say earlier, some essence of magic had assimilated into you and lay dormant for many years. It wasn't until Sari broke the seal on the book till they began to surface, but they still were locked inside. Have you noticed that ever since Sari received her powers, you've been receiving strange dreams?"
Blitzwing was speechless. How could he have not seen it earlier?
"Now you must do something important Blitzwing, listen well," the triple-changer gave the sorcerer a questioning look. "You must aid Sari in her quest to seal all the Clow Card. She cannot do it alone,"
"Vhat? Hold a nanoclick. First jou do some spectacular lightshow und now jou expect me to help zhat girl? Jour more loonier zhan I thought!" Random Blitzwing commented.
"Yes, you must aid her. And do not worry if some of the Clow Cards come into your possession. When you awake you must travel and find Kero,"
"Zhat flying, plushy of an organic?"
"Yes, the plushy," Clow Reed's voice lightened in humor. "From there on, simply let fate guide your way. And just remember, if at any time you want to call upon your powers remember this chant:
The Key which hides the power of Clow
Show your true powers before me
I, Blitzwing, command you under our contract
RELEASE
…and you will be able to hold magic in your hands,"
Blitzwing spun back to Icy.
"Now vait, let fate guide me? The power of magic? Jour still not making sense, Human!"
Clow Reed held up a hand.
"In time Blitzwing, all will be answered,"
The triple-changer suddenly felt drowsiness blanket over him as his vision began to blur and darken. Clow Reed looked on as Blitzwing's form began to fade away. Soon he stood alone amongst the sea of stars.
"I hope he takes it well," said a voice behind him.
"He will; you were after all the one who predicted the coming events and chose these two to be next of line. I have no doubts, Sakura," Clow Reed turned and walked away.

Blitzwing jerked awake. For a few nanoclicks he looked around dumbly before recognizing his living quarters. Relief washed over him. Blitzwing lied down as he put a servo over his face. Once again another strange dream, it felt so real. A clink of metal sounded next to him. Turning his head…
"No… it couldn't be," Blitzwing thought as he saw the same pendant lying next to him.
The triple-changer got up and picked up the pendant. No doubt about it, it was the very same one Clow Reed gave to him. Everything felt so queer to the Decepticon. He decided he needed to step out of his enclosed base. The walls felt like they were smothering him. Checking the time from his internal clock, it was very early in the morning. That meant that Lugnut and Megatron were still in recharge. Taking a different route, Blitzwing exited from the upper mine entrance. The doors slid open as soft morning light flitted in. From the cliff Blitzwing looked down at the silent forest, occasionally a bird would chirp. A veil of mist had fallen over the forest, giving it a mystifying air. Blitzwing looked up to see the blue sky. Wisps of cirrus clouds floated above, their lithe bodies crossed the heavens. Light from the still hidden sun reflected off the ice crystals in the clouds, basking them in a spectrum of color.
There was always something that caught the triple-changer's optics. This planet, it was much better than Cybertron and the barren planets he often fought on during the Great War. It held so much sights and surprises. Earth was so different and soft than metallic Cybertron, even life still existed in such fragile states as organics. It was a pity it was being used as a battleground; their scuffles with the Autobots marred the planet's natural surface. Blitzwing looked towards the horizon as the first rays of golden light basked the earth.
"Just remember, if at any time want to call upon your powers remember this chant..." Clow Reed's voice echoed through his processor.
Blitzwing held the pendant on his servo as he lifted it in front of his face.
Zhe Key which hides zhe power of Clow
Show jour true powers before me
I, Blitzwing, command jou under our contract
VELEASE!
Light burst forth and wind blew around the triple-changer as the pendant grew. It spun in mid-air and flew around Blitzwing before landing on top of his servo. The transformation began once again. It ended as Blitzwing held out his new servo. The servo Clow Reed had given him. Light reflected off the golden metal as the sun rose for a new day.
Dun dun da da daduuun dun dun dun!
Leave it to Kero!
"Hey-hey-hoo! Kero here to welcome you to another segment of Leave it to Kero, like I said before I will be reviewing Blitzwing in a set special! Let's get started!" the background changes to hothead Blitzwing.
"Hothead, the polar opposite of intellectual Icy. They say you can't judge a book by its cover but Hothead, you can tell a lot right off the bat. A large pair of red tinted glasses, a missing front tooth, I think they call it teeth, and a monster of a chin. Hothead is the more physical personality and is a force not to be reckoned with. Time for a Kero's Check!"
The background changed to Hothead Blitzwing's alt form.
"Hothead's choice for an alternative form is very fitting to his character. Tanks, big and bulky, represent true brute strength," the picture changes to Blitzwing's jet form. "This sharply contrasts with Icy's choice, a more agile jet compared to the land rover. I find beige and purple to be a more fitting color scheme for the jet,"
Kero seats himself of the ornate chair in front of the wooden desk with pipe in hand and donning a bow.
"Well that's all we have for today. There's still one more segment for Blitzwing so stay tuned for the next Leave it to Kero! See ya!"
End of the seventh chapter!
Now I hope you're ok with my decision giving Blitzwing magical powers, he's going to play a large role in the story later on. And I'll make sure he won't be super-powered. I've got my ways so yea. I hope you enjoyed this chapter of Cardcaptor Sari.
So please leave a review! Critiques are welcomed!
