Pow Pow! Time skip and Chapter three~! BUT FIRST! To answer a very important question:
From Alice Gone Mad:
why is she way back in time?
Answer: Oh well there is a simple way I can put that. If I were to drop her in the time from just before the All Spark was sent off into space, that wouldn't make anyone form any bond or because the entire planet would be devastated and it just wouldn't fit, you know? But do not fret! The time frame is the least of your worries! I am very sorry that I confused you though! DX
Cristina's POV
Well...this is odd... Right now I was by the little mechling, his bulk arms wrapped around me like a child picking up a cat for the first time. It feels weird to have my body dangling while my front paws held on his arms. It made me feel like he was going to strangle me or drop me...whichever came first and personally I would prefer being dropped than strangled. Personal opinion of course. He kept cooing and chirring, still I think he hasn't developed his voice box...I don't know my mind is more focused on not falling.
He soon bounded into a small room that had shelves lined with what I guess are data-pads. He set me down, motion me to stay put before going over to one of the shelves at his height. I looked around before sitting down, my tail curled around my front paws slowly as I chose now to think about the situation I was in.
1) I fell out a window and blacked out. Had an odd vision.
2) Woke up in a hospital and told Vanessa-insert ping of loneliness that it wasn't her fault and fell asleep.
3) Thought I was dreaming only to realize that I was not the moment the situation did not fit my fantasy or nightmares.
4) Got turned into a slut-bot-cat Cybertronian and left on my own because I stupidly agreed to something I thought was a dream! Whoopie...smart me...
5) SOMEHOW-And I am not sure how I was unaware-I have been adopted as a disposable pet. Now please excuse me for my french but...
D'ese Muda'fuckers got their shit fucked up!
Okay now I feel alone AND belittled. A chirp brought me out of my thoughts and upon looking up I see the mechling holding a data pad in his tiny servos. He sits down in front of me and lays the pad down between us. I looked to him, my tail uncurls and sways idly behind me. He looks to me expectantly. I blinked and looked down to the pad and nearly reset my optics at what I saw. It looked like chess...but with odd symbols and a more 5 pointed star the one point left with no pieces. Two points occupied 9 circular pieces while the other two had triangular pieces in the same fashion. I looked to him and he seemed to be waiting on me. Welp...here goes nothing...
Lifting my paw I noted it would be too big... Putting my paw back down I concentrated and soon had full control over my tail that was slim enough. I tapped a piece and soon possible moves lighted up. Shrugging mentally I picked at random. And thus began our odd game of chest.
He won about 6 times. Turns out the goal of the game was to distract a player long enough that the empty corner would fill up with your pieces. How it happens? I don't know but he was obviously good at it. The door gave a beep and opened. I allowed my tail to sway idly behind me as I got to my paws and moved to sit next to the mechling. Solar Flare, as I recall, stood there her superior field still present.
"Come along little spark, it is time for classes." She said melodically. The little mechling gave a nod and stood. He turned to me and made an odd motion with his hands. He went to Solar Flare then turned back to me and made the motion again. I blinked before raising to my paws and following after him, thinking that he wanted me to follow. He gave a chirr that he was pleased as Solar Flare seemed to watch me with such judging optics. I don't like it! But the little guys happy and I guess I'm safe. I still have yet to hear what his name is! So I'll give him one, hmmm... Snooper, weird and irrelevant, yes. Fitting? Maybe. Going to change it? No.
Time Skip (Roughly 5 human years)
Narrator POV
Cristina had learned that Snooper was actually a spy in training. And that his real name is Mirage, she freaked out royally upon discovering this, Solar Flare and her mate, DashSpear, Though she was glitched and ready to threw away. Luckily Snooper was able to convince them otherwise, making her stay by his side every waking moment. Slowly she began to learn his talk to understand basic commands and such. Snooper under went his spark being transferred into his mech armoring. And it looks so...interesting.
"Follow me Necrolight(1)." He spoke out fluidly and she soon rose from her seating by the door and followed him as he walked out. It has become a routine for them ever since Mirage upgraded to his adult mech framing. His has been homing in his gifted holographic skills and his ability to seemingly cloak himself as though he is not there. Freaked her out when he once practiced on her. Cristina, or better yet Necrolight, has found out that she can switch into her bi-pedal form when the Allspark had finally spoken to her. It was a short talk but it warned her that her time to act was near. To do what exactly? She was unsure. Her only hope was to possible get Mirage or somebot to understand her predicament and help her understand. At this point she might only know one bot that can definitely help her. Optimus Prime. Whether he was still Orion Pax at this moment or not she can only hope its the former.
They entered the study room and soon Mirage picked out a few data. Necrolight watched him carefully and saw an opportunity open itself when he picked up a cube of aged energon. She discovered it was the equivalent to wine, but only much...stronger. She watched him take slow long sips and the moment his optics reset themselves, she made her move. Slowly she made her way over to him and allowed herself to transform. It was a fluid and hypnotizing movement, that she was totally embarrassed for. Her heeled pedes clicked almost soundlessly on the floor as she stood right before him. It took a moment but soon his optics focused on her and she could see them adjust.
"N..Nescroliight..?" His words were lightly slurred. She couldn't understand why he enjoyed studying in such a state but she was not going to be the wiser and say anything about it.
"Listen to me very carefully Mirage...I'm going to need you to take me to Iacon and while we're there, you will sign up for the Autobots side of the growing strikes...I know you hate wars but...Hey!" She gasped as his servo rested on the small of her back and pulled her to sit in his lap. She now straddled his hips, facing him as he slipped his arms around her waist. Her feline ears moved flat as her tail flicked in annoyance and her cheeks flushed a bright blue. Her entire form shivered as her sensitive wires were still exposed. His optics looked ready to gain focus and she had to act fast.
"Necro..." He spoke out in a shushed tone. "is this...you?" He lightly touched the wires along her arms and she had to deactivate her voice box for a moment. She took a hold of his servos and quickly launched herself back, transforming mid air. Landing in her feline form and sat down before him, tail swaying in annoyance. She watched his optics reset again as she amount of aged energon filtered through processor and ended up in his tanks. He looked around for a minute before his optics landed on her. Necrolight simply mewled in response and tilted her head slightly, acting totally innocent. "Necrolight...I...Was I...But you were..I...I think there must be something wrong with this energon..." He was mumbling to himself and it took all of Necrolight's will power to not roll her optics and shake her helm.
Necrolight sat in Mirage's room, deep in thought on what her next move should be. A quick look around and she leaped off the berth and transformed. She took small strides before spinning around and throwing her first out. She jumped slightly when a wave of electricity weakly jumped from her finger tips and disappeared with a soft crackle. Tilting her helm slightly, allowing the makeshift hair to move over her optics slightly as she looked down to her servos.
"What is this now...?" She almost whined softly and jumped when she heard the hiss of doors sliding open. She pressed herself up against the side quickly and dimmed her optics greatly before slowing her spark rate. A cleaning drone came in, arranged the misplaced data pads before leaving. She waited a few second before dropping to her knees, shuddering and letting out a shaky breath. "Too close...If it was not a drone then someone would have picked up my spark signature..." Not wanting to have another mini heart attack she transformed back into her feline fore and swiftly leaped onto the berth. Her spark hummed softly as she laid her head down on her paws and off-lined her optics, slipping into a light recharge.
"Necrolight!" Her head snapped up fast as her optics onlined. Mirage stepped into the room and looked around before his optics landed on her. "There you are." He walked over to her and gently petted her head. "In about 4 joors we will depart to Iacon. Creator has informed me that there is an academy there which will better my skills. I requested you accompany me and it has been accepted." Necrolight saw this glint in his optics.
'Maybe he wasn't as out of it as I though...' She thought idly as he scooped her in his arms. By instinct she moved to sit upon his shoulder and curl close to his neck cables. 'Oh well...hope I don't have to transform until the allspark is within my reach...'
(1) Thank you Eunice Pacheco for the name idea! She gave two names and I combined them that they remind me of her predicament. She gave Necroshade and Starlight, as how Mirage came to it will be explained on a later date.
Hope you all enjoyed this chapter~!
