Transformers: Family facing the Fallen chapter 2

(Marcy's diary entry)

Today is Saturday, November 2nd, 2013 and I have been at my new job for a short time but still enjoy it. I can tell Optimus and Elita are proud of me but I wish I could spend more time with them. I got home from work in time to go to the vigil mass at church. Optimus was out on a mission though and Elita was talking to our state's governor. The other 'bots were busy as well so my siblings went to do other things. Darcy is currently working with Wheeljack in his lab and learning about some of the inventions he wanted to create, Lisa is drawing in her room, and Kayla and Brandon are watching TV. Michelle's moved out since she's made up with her parents and wants to live in a different state, specifically Arizona.

For some reason, I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen soon-well, really it's because last night I had a dream about every major city on Earth being decimated by what looked like Decepticons only they did not wear the faction symbol and were much taller than even Optimus Prime. I have not told Optimus about this dream because I'm afraid he might dismiss it as my mind playing tricks on me. Well, I hope I don't have that kind of a dream tonight..

The next morning, Marcy was covering herself with her blankets; she did not want to get up for Sunday school and she certainly did not want to tell Optimus or Elita One for that matter about her nightmare; it had been different than the previous one but still scary nonetheless..

(Dream sequence)

The human teenager had seen a large figure who looked as though he was perpetually on fire but not burning to death. He was, well "menacing" didn't even begin to describe it but whoever he was, he was much taller than Optimus. The flames soon disappeared though that just made Marcy more unnerved. She did however recognize who he was from Optimus Prime's story about the original Cybertronians and the illustrations on the datapad containing that story.

"The Fallen..."

She couldn't understand half of what he was saying to her seeing as he was speaking Cybertronian but it got more terrifying when he did switch to English. It was something along the lines of "that last prime and all he cares for will be destroyed" to paraphrase at least part of what the ex-Prime was saying.

Marcy screamed "Nooooo!" though it was useless as the Fallen started laughing at her fear of him and what was going to happen...

"Marcella Louisa Wilson, get up now!" Ironhide was banging on the door.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, frag it!' Marcy got dressed and went out into the hallway.

"Only I'm allowed to say that." the weapons specialist informed the human teen. "Now go eat your breakfast; Emerald is taking you and your siblings to your religious education classes."

Sunday school went fine though Marcy fell asleep in class. She usually didn't do that often but it happened enough for classmates to joke about it. When she was brought home, the human teen went and sat in the corner of the main room. It was unusual since normally she would put on an episode of Star Trek for herself to watch when in there. Lavender, who was taking today off noticed this. "Marcy, is something wrong?" the medic asked.

"A little." Marcy admitted. "I don't know if it's worth interrupting Optimus over. I had a nightmare, 2 different ones actually and..."

Later when everyone else had gathered around to hear it after lunch, Jazz said "That is a big deal kid!"

"Why didn't you tell us about this earlier?!" Elita One asked, very worried about the young girl.

"I didn't know if anyone would believe me." the teenager replied.

Optimus Prime came over to Marcy and looked down at her. "I certainly do believe you and it has indeed been foretold of the Fallen rising again in the Covenant of Primus as you already know."

Everybody started talking about what could possibly happen.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he destroyed some major cities." Lisa commented.

"Me either." Brandon added. "But does anybody know exactly when this is supposed to happen?"

"Everyone be silent!" Optimus Prime ordered.

Everyone listened to him and waited to see what else their leader had to say.

"To answer your question Brandon, no one knows an exact date for the Fallen's return however, if Marcella's dreams are correct, then I fear it will happen sooner than we think. That being said, we must still focus on the Decepticons as well since they have been too quiet recently." The Autobot leader informed his troops and his adopted children. "that being said, do not breathe a word of this to anyone outside of this base as I do not want anyone else to worry regardless of what happens in the future. Is that clear?"

"yes sir." was the reply everyone gave in unison.

"Don't worry Marcy; if Optimus can kick Megatron's aft, he can kick the Fallen's aft." Darcy assured her twin.

"yeah! He can take on anything." Brandon added while Kayla silently nodded in agreement.

"I would rather that boastful attitude NOT be prevalent since that would make us underestimate our enemies." Optimus Prime informed the human children.

Everyone soon went off to do their duties or eat lunch in the Wilson siblings' case except for Marcy who told Optimus she was now scared of going to sleep tonight because of that dream.

"I can understand that feeling, young one." the Autobot leader said.

"Can I talk about this more in your office with you?" Marcy asked.

Optimus Prime nodded and led Marcy to his office so that she could discuss her fears in private. After their talk, Marcy was dropped off at work by Ironhide; Chromia would come and get her later though would have a bit of difficulty in doing so...
