Green and brown eyes narrow, as a small tongue pokes out as the small girl concentrates hard trying to close her book bag. It was stuff full of clothes, and little bits of food, enough to last her a few days if she really needs it. With a nod of her head, she quietly stands up, slipping the bag onto her back and snatches the money off of the table, sticking it into the pocket of her pants.
Sneaking out of the room that she shares with three other girls, she carefully tiptoes down the stairs, her nose scrunching up at the smell of alcohol. She couldn't help the frowning at the sight of Kento passed out on the couch, the tv blaring and surrounded by bottles of alcohol.
"That's right," the voice of the horned man spokes from the television, "All Might himself declared just today that he approves the governments of the world decision in making an alliance with the Autobots,"
"So does that mean you agree with this? Allowing them to stay and even bring more harm to our planet? I mean from what we were told they destroyed their own world due to their war, why should we allow our own planet to meet this fate?"
"Listen, I understand everyone's fears, but I was there when Kamino was attacked by the Cult of Unicron. And bless everything that the Maximals and Predacons were able to stop them, but it was just barely, and that was when most of the giant robots were just mindless zombies. I don't want to think what will happen if we have to face giant robots that can think on their own by ourselves. So yes, I agree with the decision to ally ourselves with the Autobots, especially when it means the Decepticons are not going to leave us alone,"
"Speaking of the Maximals, what do you think of Izuku Midoriya aka Aurora Primal the leader of the Maximals being there and not only that but turned into one of these… Cybertronians. What are your thoughts on that, Mister Daikaku?"
"She is going to become the next All Might. There is no doubt about that," the younger girl crept closer, watching as the woman gasps at the one horned man in shock, as if he said something quite absurd. "I stand by what I said. That girl was already on her way to being an amazing hero but now that she has the power, I think there will be nothing to hold her back,"
"But are we sure she should be a hero?" Holding back the urge to growl, the young child glares at the woman, "Like we all saw what she done…"
The woman stops when Daikaku spoke again, "The things she done were forced upon her, and anyone who complains about it only does so because of her lack of Quirk. I bet that if anyone else had survived those Pits, they would be patted on the back and praised for their strong Quirk, but Aurora Primal is scorned by many because she dared to survive. Unfortunately it's the problem with our society. A might makes right sort of belief,"
"KENTO YOU BASTARD!" Jumping the girl scurries to to the door, hiding behind a plant near it as a woman storms down the stairs, "Did you steal my money again to fucking bye booze?! You know we have to limit until we get another brat under our care!"
"I did nothing you damn woman!" The man growls, voice slurred, "why is it that you always blame me, Narume when things go wrong. You just possibly lost it by wasting it on the men you sleep around with!"
As Narume begins to scream abuse at the drunk man who expertly ignores it, the young child slips out the front door unnoticed. Though a few spare her a few glances, for she walked with no shoes on her feet, she kept her head held high, a wide smile on her face as she clutched tightly to the small lion plush in her arms.
"I'm not saying it's our fault, but look at the Hero charts. All Might is nigh impossible to beat and he's been the number one hero for the last 39 years and following his example Endeavor became the number 2 hero, and he too has kept that title for the last 29 years. When people think of heroes, they think of them, no one talks about Best Jeanist or Wash, they think of those two."
Melissa gulps down her bottle of water, her eyes looking at her phone watching the news as she takes a quick break. Her muscles felt so strained and tight, throbbing in soreness from the hours of work she had put in. She glances up, and frowns at the piles of trash. "Even after two months… it's like I'm done nothing,"
"And when children tell people their dreams of becoming a hero," Melissa looks down at her phone, watching the report once more, "they are praised and encouraged if they have a strong Quirk, or they're ridiculed and discouraged from even trying if they have a weak quirk or no quirk at all. That's because people who are in power want those who they think are weaker than them to stand in on equal footing with them, and that's why Aurora Primal scares them. She was quirkless and yet she survived what many people would have not. Even All Might said so himself, when he entered the city once the shield had been turned off. He would not have survived what she had been force to do, let alone take charge of a whole group and lead them to victory. And she did so, without a Quirk, with a power to help her… just her smarts and an ax. It's only those who follow Destro's ideals who don't like her, and anyone who says she can't become a hero… I'll look at them twice,"
"You met Aurora Primal, right Uncle Might?" It was only being so use to it the last two months that Melissa didn't react to him coughing out blood.
"I did," he nodded his head, grabbing a napkin, and wiping the blood off his mouth.
"You said that you're giving me One For All because I did something that other heroes wouldn't. That I ran into a fight even though I was Quirkless," Melissa frowns, "If that's true… Why didn't you offer her One For All? She sounds more courageous than me,"
Uncle Might scratches at her cheek, "That's the thing, Melissa… I did offer it to her," Melissa gasps at this, and Uncle Might smiles sadly at her, "At the time…I wasn't really…my smile was fake, I only smile back then to deceive myself, to hide the terror I felt. Back then… I didn't feel like a true hero. Not since," Melissa watches as he places a hand on his ride side, where she knew a villain, whose name remains unknown gave to him 9 years ago. "This feeling grew worse when I couldn't break the shield Aegis created… I couldn't save the people…they were all calling to me and I was right there but… I couldn't save them…" he lets out a mournful side, closing his eyes shut. "And yet she did… oh she couldn't save all of them. But her, alongside the Maximals and Predacons, they defeated Scourge and saved not only themselves but the people who couldn't fight…" Uncle Might smiles, "it inspired me… "
Melissa stares at him, before her eyes widen, "wait… does that mean… she refused?!" Her mouth drops open as Uncle Might nodded his head. It was so… strange. She didn't think any person would say no to be given a Quirk. While she was protected on I-island, no one cared if you have a Quirk or not as they were more focused on inventing the newest support item or researching more about Quirks. But she had her fair taste of those who hated Quirkless people like her from tourists to even her own grandparents after her diagnosis.
"Young Midoriya informed me that she didn't know if she wanted to be a hero at the time anymore, as she thought she was done fighting," Uncle Might sighs, crossing his arms and looking out to the sea, "and she told me if she did, she would do it while being Quirkless, with her own strength and power,"
Melissa frowns at this, "and now she can't do that because she's a dragon… a robotic dragon,"
Uncle Might smiles though, "Maybe...but people will always remember what she did without those abilities of hers," he shakes his head, "They'll never forget the hope that she gave them during the Kamino War"
Melissa though, looks down, gripping her water bottle tightly in hand, before she looks up, blue eyes shimmering in determination. She sets it down and quickly scrambles up, "Alright, break time over! This trash isn't going clean itself up!" she ignores Uncle Might staring at her as she runs over to the piles of trash, so focus on her thoughts.
"I may not have been your first choice Uncle Might. But I will prove to you...and anyone that I wasn't the wrong one!"
"Such a shame….but I applaud you Megatron," Starscream smiles, servos behind his back as he watches that...that foolish fleshing Megatron dared call his heiress shoving the Allspark into his chest, "You certainly made a grand exist." he smiles grandly but turns his head over his shoulder to watch the always silent Soundwave walking towards him, "Its about time Soundwave. Cue the audio visual I wish to address the troops,"
Of course while Soundwave spoke no words, Starscream could hear him doing as he commanded, and soon his face was on every screen of the Nemesis, "The loss of Megatron, leader of the great Decepticons uprising, killer of the false Prime, Sentinel….is certainly a blow to our cause," Starscream looks down, hiding the smirk that grew on his face, "Yet we mustn't despair over his tragic demise but instead embrace his ultimate sacrifice and build on the foundation he and the traitor that is Optimus Prime laid, with an even mightier servo!"
Before he could go on, a vehicon walked forward, "With all due respect Commander- uh," he falters when Starscream turns his gaze to him, glowering at the lowly drone, "Lord Starscream,"
"Yes...yes...what is it," Starscream growls out, trying to hold back the anger he felt.
"If we failed to conquer Earth under Lord Megatron's command, what hope do we have now while the Autobot's not only defend it, but have made an alliance with the humans as well,"
"Yeah! They even have Lord Megatron's heiress!" Frenzy screeches and Starscream growls at the little minicon, before he scampers behind Soundwave's legs before Starscream could show him his ire. It anger him truly that Soundwave had risked himself to save the pile of scrap from the hands of the humans.
"Steve and Frenzy have a point," Barricade mutters, leaning against the wall as he stares cooly at the second in command.
Starscream opens his mouth, but falters a bit, "Steve? Who is named Steve?" he couldn't help but blink when the vehicon who had spoke up raised his servo, "I'm sorry...you're what?!"
"I suffered cranial damage and can't remember my numerical assignment. I saw the human name, 'Steve' on a billboard… it had a pleasing tone. Steeeeeeeve…"
Starscream sighs, "Allow me to be crystal clear. I was once not only the leader of the High Guard, but I had been the High Lord Protector to Solus Prime herself! I study for millennia under our former master thus I am equipped to lead you until we have Megatron's true Heiress in our safe grasp, Lord Starscream!. Emperor of Destruction!" he waited for the applauded, but all the drones did were whisper to each other, uncertain.
Growling, he stomps off, shaking his head in dismay, "What use are troops who can't rise to the task of inflicting unspeakable destruction in my name?"
"Hmmmm let me think about it," Barricade mutters, "Under your command, we lost Bonecrusher, Devastator and Blackout but we also lost Lord Megatron. We had also been at war for a very long time, two wars in fact. And said wars cause the downfall of Cybertron….many of the troop is tired,"
Starscream scoffs at this, feeling annoyance run through him before he frowns, "But wait," Barricade rolls his eyes, glowering at him for ignoring him, "legends tell of one capable warrior, one who exists here upon this very planet. One who can be student to my master," he smiles, while Barricade exchanged a look with Soundwave.
Autobot Outpost Omega One- Musutafu, Japan
"Optimus?" looking up, the Last Prime looks up as Ratchet walks over to him. The medic stares at him, "why so glum? This planet, all planets are finally free from Megatron's tyranny,"
He grows silent though, when Optimus stares at him. Slowly he shakes his head, "I do not disagree Ratchet its just...a small part of me hope to change Meagtron's mind, not extinguished his Spark,"
"Optimus...I understand how close you two were...and I'm sorry," Ratchet softly spoke, "I too remember how he once was before the war with Sentinel went for so long...and I know that hope grew when you learn how he adopted Izuku...but his vileness was not slain by you or Izuku's servos...but by his own twisted arrogance,"
Optimus shakes his head, "The Megatron I once fought beside...the D-16 I once knew him as, perished eons ago...the day he chose to become a Decepticon," he turns truly to Ratchet, bringing his full attention to his medic, "The Decepticons may be in disarray but they aren't without leadership and while Starscream is no Megatron he is far from perdictable,"
"The fact that they'll be after Izuku," Ratchet mutters, before he was interrupted by a loud explosion that made the floor shook under them, "Decepticons!" Ratchet explains, looking over as a cloud of smoke began to form, "We're under attack!"
Both Optimus and Ratchet ran over, but blink at the sight of Mei using a smoke extinguisher onto something that was charred and still smoking, "No attack Doc Bot...just one of my babies exploding,"
"Again," Cade called out, while waving the smoke away from Tessa, but little one surprising cooing in joy and waving her arms in glee.
"Failure is the mother of inventions Rattrap," Mei stated with a grin, "And I got to make a lot of babies if I'm going to get into the Support Course at U.A!"
"First you got to make them stop exploding," Lennox stated before nodding at Optimus and Ratchet, "Morning,"
"Morning," Ratchet mutters, "And if it was that making the explosion...then what cause the floor shaking,"
"That...would be me," Optimus and Ratchet turn to see Izuku pushing herself up, having fallen to her side, "And Mei you mess up my concentration! I almost had it!"
"She's trying to transform back into her human form, "Arcee explained, though both Ratchet and Optimus could hear the sullenness in her voice, the grief. "She's been at it for ten minutes,"
"And already we can tell that her way of transforming will be different than ours," Bulkhead said, as they all turn to watch as Izuku's form began to shimmer, the Maximal's face lock in concentration. It seemed like the metal was about to fall down, into dust before it stopped and Izuku was panting.
"How...is this so hard?" Izuku growls, tail lashing behind her.
"I mean, from what we went through after getting our cogs back, its never easy transforming for the first time," Arcee mentioned, "I remember transforming my heels into part wheels before slipping,"
"But its been two months already...I only have eight months to go before the exam,"
Optimus walked over to her, and gently place his servo on her shoulder, being mindful of the spikes, "You can't always force yourself to transform. It will come naturally for you," Optimus assured the young dragon, though she huffed, her throat shining blue in her anger. "And if it makes you feel better...when I learned to transform the first time...I too had problems...I only was able to shift my head at first, so I was running around blind,"
Izuku snorted at that, and Bumblebee walked over, beeping slightly before he brough his arm up, "And then I told them...put your arms up or I'llllll shoot you all down!" A voice crackles from his radio, from some show Izuku didn't know. "I knew if I did it, I would be able granted warrior class...but then I realize that my gun was not being aimed at them, but my servos...the Cons did not take long to shoot at me,"
Izuku laughs at this, "How do you make Warrior class. I think I heard others call you Scout,"
"That's because I am a Scout...I'm not really suppose to be on the main battlefield,"
"But I seen you in action," Izuku pointed out, "You were able to take out the police cruiser con with no problem,"
"And you had nice shooting," Mei stated, frowning as she picks up the charred husk of her latest invention, "Back to the drawling board,"
"I second both your options," Optimus said, a smile on his face, "But Cybertronian lifecycles are much longer than those of humans," Izuku frowns at his, looking down at her own claws, "and though it may be hard to believe our young scout still has much to experience,"
At that moment though, the screens lit to life. Frowning, Ratchet walks over, "Trion is sensing expose energon and its on the move,"
"And since we ain't moving it," Bulkhead grumbles, pounding a servo into the palm of his other servo, "Guess who must be,"
"Decepticons," Melody stated, though looked over her shoulder to watch Arcee frown at the screen.
"Without, Megatron?" Epps stated, exchanging looks with Lennox, "Was hoping for more time to relax a bit before having to fight more giant robots,"
"Unfortunately, Megatron's legacy will live on as others rise to take his place," he glances at Mei, before he turns his gaze to Izuku and Bumblebee, "Bumblebee, Aurora," Izuku looks up at this, "let us see about this Energon in transit,"
Ratchet frowns, "This will be our first test of the Groundbridge...but while you are there, try to find some Energon to bring back," he opens it up, Izuku staring at the vast green portal that open up within the parts they took from the Axalon, "If you can't, we have to use this sparingly until we do,"
"Of course Ratchet," Optimus nodded his head in agreement. Watching as Optimus and Bumblebee walked through the green light with no hesitation. With a deep breath she follows, her tail swishing back and forth.
Mei watches as the green light fades, all three now gone "That is so cool it can take you anywhere you need to go on earth," she stated with a grin. At least before she shook her head, "Alright people!" she exclaims making many jump, "Boss is gone and is now distracted! It is now time for. Operation: Birthday!"
"Wait...birthday?" Lennox blinks, before he turns to the now power down Groundbridge, "Are you telling me it's Izuku's birthday?"
"Yep," Mei grins as she pops the p, "Big old 19 years old. I already talked to the Boss Bot. Its why he took Boss with him, to get out of the base so we can get everything ready!" she rubs her hands together, grinning, "Bulkhead, you Lennox and I are going to the store. You have enough storage space to fill lots of presents we can get her,"
"Great...I'm the luggage holder," but a grin was on his face.
"What about cake?" Electro stated, making all of them turn to him. He shrugs, me, Mel and Bee had been on earth far longer than you. So we did some research and I know that its like a tradition for you humans to have cake?"
"That's what Charlie is doing. Luckily for Boss, she can still eat human food even in her cybertronian form," Mei muses while Epps snorts.
Got to be one big cake," he chuckles, "A regular size one will hardly be anything for her,"
"That's why she is going to the Marine House in Harajuku!" Mei stated, her grin spread wide across her face, "Its the best bakery in all of Japan and they will gladly make a huge cake, big enough for boss to eat! And its going to be mango cake, Boss loves mango cake…"
"Oh you have no idea," Cade shakes his head, "You could see her gobbling mangoes down as much as she crunched on Energon crystals...I think Rhinox was trying to find a way to combine the two,"
"I will one day make a mango-energon smoothie for boss...I will succeed one day!"
With dust rising, and some rocks crumbling, Starscream and Soundwave carefully pulled at the large container that held the warrior within. "Excellent," Starscream grins, "During the Great Wars so much Energon was hidden on this forsaken rock, so much that it even started to grow its own Energon in time. Our departed Master sent some of Cybertrons greatest to guard it, true warriors now lying in stasis like this one waiting to be reawaken," he turns his gaze to Soundwave, the other just staring at him silently, "the cube,"
With no word from the other, he held up a box, slowly reviewing the glowing Energon cube from within. With glee, Starscream grasps it gently in his claws, pushing it into the box that they had pulled out from within the cliff. Slowly, a hum began to grow louder as the Energon spread, slowly awakening the Cybertronian from within, glowing a brilliant bright blue before slowly opening, "Reawaken warrior, rise and serve your new master!" he cries out, spreading his arms wide.
"Skyquake serves only one Master," opening his optics wide, Starscream stares in horror at the Decepticon that stepped out of the stasis box. Skyquake, one of the rare split spark twins of Cybertron, was fiercely loyal to Megatron, the same for his own brother, Dreadwing. Both of them being the few miners that had sided with the miner-gladiator. The large green mech glares down at him, with utter hatred glowing in his red optics. "I am here on a mission, assigned to me by my one master, Megatron,"
"Yes...him," Starscream falters a bit, "Sadly Megatron is no longer with us,"
"Impossible,"
Starscream glowers, growling under his breath, "Why is it so difficult for everyone to accept. Skyquake," he snaps up at the much large mech, "I located you; I awakened you, thus I, Lord Starscream am now your Master!"
That seem to displease the other...greatly, as he leans down at Stascream, all but ready to grab his neck and crush it in his servos. But the sound of a Groundbridge opening pulled their attention, allowing none other than Optimus Prime to step out, followed by the scout and son of his, Bumblebee and...Starscream couldn't help but drop his mouth, at the sight of the very large, Predacon following behind. It was only by the faint signatures that all three Decepticons felt, the faint signature of Megatron and Optimus that emitted from her own spark that Starscream realizes who this ancient Predacon was.
"That's the brat!" he thought with utter horror, "The Allspark turned her into one of Shockwave's pets?! If the troops find out...and knowing Soundwave they will...they will all be in the idea for her to lead them...I won't even get a chance to utter a word of objection!"
"Skyquake, its been awhile," Optimus stated, nodding his head at the other, as the bug and beast walked over to stand by his side.
"Optimus Prime...I haven't seen you since the Battle of Technahar...Lord Megatron was...greatly displease when he learned that I had tried to annihilate you in his name," he looks over to the beast, "and it seems you and my Lord have been busy... now that you have another offspring of his besides the young prince,"
The Beast sputters, her face glowing blue, "It isn't like that…" she whispers, before her face grew disgusted, "And I really don't need that image in my head,"
"That was a long time ago, Skyquake," Prime stated, calmly, "Is this Ancient war still worth fighting. When so many comrades have been lost? And worlds destroyed, our own even? If you want to be a true leader Starscream, then stray from Megatron's path and lead the Decepticons towards peace,"
"Ah, Optimus, as I told you during our first meeting, the idea of a unify Cybertron is a myth. All that counts," he grins, "Is the strength of one bot over another,"
"Solus Prime did not teach you that,"
"Do not," Starscream growl, "Ever utter her name! You do not know of her you-" he squawks in pain as Skyquake backhands him, sending flying and hitting his back into a cliff. Wheezing to take air in his tanks, he glares at the four of them before he shifts into his jet mode, flying away and over the cliffs.
Aurora watches as Starscream flew away, "Coward," she mutters before turning her gaze to Skyquake. She sighs, but brought her head up, "Skyquake, what Optimus said is true. This is a new era, on another world. Side with the Autobots and help us end this conflict forever,"
Skyquake stares at her, and roars in laughter, "You little Princess...I see much of my Master in you, more than I ever seen in the little Prince...but I will never side with a Prime!" he then charges at them, punching Optimus straight in the face. The Autobot Leader went down, but before he could push himself up, Skyquake grabbed him by the shoulders, somehow tossing him aside. Aurora stares with wide optics before she tries to lunge at him, mouth wide open showing her sharp fangs. But she gasps, as his servos grabs her at the horns, and pushes her down, sending dust and sand flying everywhere.
"This is Prime…" Aurora gasps, shaking her head as she pushes herself up, "Got to remember I have horns now," she then ducks down trying to avoid the blasts from the gattling gun that Skyquake had pulled out from somewhere when Optimus shot pulse blasts at him.
Optimus though, was not so lucky, but he wasn't down for the count. Looking up, the Prime calls out, "Bumblebee, no!" making Aurora turn to watch her...her brother leap from behind, shooting at Skyquake's back. Turning the Decepticon, fire rapidly at him, but Bumblebee using using the cliffs that surrounded them, was able to jump out of the way easily, but had been caught when he tried to get closer to the larger mech, and thrown into one of the cliffs sides. Aurora growls and charges, tackling Skyquake and trying to bite into his neck but the other was using his gun to keep her at bay, all but shoving the side in her mouth, using it as a sort of bite block.
Starscream grins down at the sight, rubbing his back in pain a bit, but still smile, "What need have I for peace when I have Skyquake. With some discipline, he will learn to respect his new master. And once it becomes known that Skyquake destoryed Optimus Prime...and I brought back Aurora under my command...all Decepticons will gratefully bow to me...of course," he chuckles nervously when Soundwave stares at him silently, "Until Aurora is ready to take her rightful place as leader…"
"And if I have my way….never. There can always be a training accident. Surely some in the ranks will not be happy to have a former human leading them let alone one that killed Megatron…" he grins more, looking down at the fight below, "Do not lose sight of them Soundwave," he turns at the Communication Officer, but frowns when he sees that Soundwave was still gazing at them, "Why are you not recording the fight?!" at this, a bleep emitted from Soundwave, his mask showing an image of the planet, before zooming in on a specific spot, "What? A second Decepticon life signal? But where?" he gazes closer, and the air seemed to have been kicked out of his tanks forceibly, "The...the sight where the humans had...dumped are fallen from the failed Allspark retrieval... but that can't be all of them were killed!" he shakes his head, "Your sensors must be faulty, ignore the contact! Delete the coordinates!"
But Starscream yelps when Soundwave took a step forward, and even though he could not see the other's face, Starscream knew he was being glared at, "What am I say?" he laughs nervously, "Of course this...must be investigated...if anyone is...somehow still alive down there...I shall bring them home," as Soundwave takes a step back, Starscream had to fight the urge to take a breath of relief at this, "Remain here and monitor the outcome. When Skyquake snuffs Prime's spark I must bear witness,"
Stepping off the cliff, he transforms, before accelerating towards the location where Soundwave had detected the signal. Soundwave stares, before his chest open, and emerging from withing was a bird like creature. Gazing at each other, the bird nodded his head before taking flight after Starscream. Soundwave then turns his gaze back to the fight, while another cybertronian bird emerge from his chest, its red optics watching Izuku, fluttering its wings in glee.
"Alright!" Mei mutters, "Got the balloons, the streamers, many many notebooks for when Boss turns back into human she can write,"
"Lots and lots of blankets…" Lennox said, "You said she been collecting them, alongside pillows for her nest,"
"Yeah...a bit more would do her good, alongside some more pillows. I heard that Charlie been trying to get her to accept more things," Mei sighs, shaking her head, "I blame her father,"
Lennox frowns, "Megatron? I thought he was good to her. I mean I know he an evil dictator but from what we heard he was a good father to Izuku and Bumblebee,"
"Not him...her human father, Hisashi Midoriya," Mei growls, "I don't know much about him, I met Boss during the war...but from what little she told me of him when she was high on drugs to get her wounds treated, he abandoned her and her mom when she was declared Quirkless. Saying that carrying for a…kid without a Quirk is a burden and he didn't sign up for this. That he didn't want to raise a useless kid that would bring him down… it gave Boss a lot of insecurities and such she doesn't like asking for help."
Bulkhead's whole body shook, and both Mei and Lennox were worry about him transforming in rage, "That is a pile of scrap I ever heard," he growls in anger, "Even during Sentinel's reign Sparklings were treated kindly, it didn't matter if they had a Cog or not. It didn't matter if they could transform or not, they were protected...though I will admit Sentinel may have kept away from any harm on them because we would have all realize much sooner that he wasn't a Prime,"
"I understand your anger," Lennox sighs, patting Bulkhead's side, "Unfortunately you might here it a lot in Japan. Because they're so obsessed with heroes, it means they're also obsessed with Quirks. Still makes me want to throw a punch,"
Mei nodded her head in agreement, turning towards Lennox. Neither of the three notice a small child stopping at the sight of them, her green and brown eyes widening before she quickly scamper over. "Your not the first person who wants to do that. By Prime, you should have heard how some Maximals spoke when Boss took over after Apelinq's death…" she shakes her head, her back still turn as the little girl pulls herself up and crawls into Bulkhead's trunk, hiding behind the bags filled with blankets and pillows, "They all refuse to listen to Boss because she didn't have a Quirk,"
"What happen to them?" Lennox asked, as he closes the trunk door.
"They were all killed by the Terrorcons," Mei bluntly stated and that made Lennox sigh, shaking his head in disappointment. "Anyway, I think we got everything, so lets get back. Hopefully Boss Bot can keep Boss preoccupied as we get everything ready,"
Aurora was taking many steps back beside Bumblebee and Optimus, as the two drove in reverse, trying to avoid the shots that Skyquake was shooting at them, "So time has made you a coward Prime?" he growls and Aurora growls, turning around before running towards the left. She ran as far as she could, claws digging into the dirt until she was met with a dead end. Behind her, Skyquake was stalking towards her, "It will be a shame to hurt you too bad...I shall make it quick, young Princess and bring you back to the Nemesis,"
Aurora crouches down, growling, but before she could do anything, a horn blares through the alley. Both of them look up, to see Optimus driving straight at Skyquake before transforming and throwing a punch right in Skyquake's face.
"Excellent strategy, Aurora," Optimus praises before a fist was slammed into his face. Taking a stumble, the Prime narrows his optics, "Skyquake, stay down," pulling his arm back, he once more slams his fist into Skyquake's helm and the Decepticon falls onto his back.
But then, Aurora brought her head up, watching as some sort of aircraft flew over them, "Scrap," she mutters, watching as Skyquake's optics snap open and he scans the aircraft.
Grinning at the two Autobots and Maximal he runs forward, leaping up and transformed, before he accelerated into the sky, "Air superiority achieved," before he dives down, shooting at them. Optimus and Bumblebee shifted into their vehicles modes and Aurora ran after them, all three trying avoid the bullets that were being fired at them.
But then, Aurora noticed that the bullets were focusing more on Bumblebee and she snarls, "Firing at my brother will not be tolerated on my watch," she snarls as she leaps, spreading her large wings that barely fit in the valley and lifted them before with using all her might, powered down, "I can do this," she thought as she felt her body lift, the air gather under her wings, and she kept pumping them.
It felt like the world was spiraling, almost like it did when she fell off that building in Mission City. But this time it was her who was carving these spiral and loops. With her wings she scooped the air, shaped it. There was no need for desperate flapping as she thought, instinctively finding herself maneuvering herself until she was behind Skyquake. With a growl, Aurora opens her mouth into a roar, and bright blue flames emerge from within her throat, blasting at Skyquake's backside.
But while Skyquake cries out in pain, he falls back until he was the one following her. And then he released missiles, missiles that kept following her, "This is just Prime," she grumbles under her breath, "heat seekers," but she kept flying straight, until she was almost crashing into the stone wall. But she quickly pulls herself up, allowing the missiles to hit it instead of her. She grins, but that slowly turned into a frown when she realize that Skyquake had turned his attention back onto Optimus and Bumblebee.
"Frag," she mutters under her breath, watching as Bee drives up on top of a cliff, transforming back into his bipedal mode and then, to her shock and confusion, leaps off the cliff. "What the heck Bee?!" she exclaims, watching as he lands on top of Skyquake and clings to him, not letting go even when the Decepticon tries to scrape him off by using the cliff side before ascending towards the sky. With a flap of her wings she follows behind.
"Aurora," she heard Optimus's voice through their comlink and she pushes herself harder to get nearer to the two.
"Already on it!" she answered, watching as Bumblebee smashes his servos through Skyquake's metal hide, pulling out wires and all sort of important parts. Smoke began to emerge from Skyquake, and he begins to descend, losing control of himself.
"This may have been a bad idea!" Bumblebee sang out, but he looks up as Aurora dives down, her claws carefully wrapping around his middle and lifted him off of Skyquake's back. The two watched as Skyquake fell, not even pulling up before he crashes into the ground. An explosion of fire erupted, alongside rocks and dust. Once more instinct took over Aurora as she tips slightly downward at a gentle angle, beginning a long glide towards the cliff. Angling her wings slightly ti increase the drag and extending her talons, she lets go of Bumblebee, allowing him to land on his feet first, before she herself landed beside him. Shaking her head, the two look down, and Aurora grimaces at what was once Skyquake.
As Optimus walked over to the now decease Decepticon, Izuku and Bumblebee met up with him, Optimus closing his optics in sorrow, "Had Skyquake chosen to stray from his Master's path, we might not be burying him today,"
Izuku sighs, nodding her head in agreement before she felt like something was burning a hole in the back of her neck. Turning her head, she growls as she notices another Decepticon staring down at them from a cliff. Optimus looks up, "Soundwave," he mutters, stepping in front of Izuku and Bumblebee, "Keep on your guard," she order as the other jumps down, and landed before them. His blank mask though, was all but staring at Izuku, and she thought at first she heard was a sound of a camera taking a picture before he raises his arm.
But instead of shifting into a gun, she watches as a raven like Cybertronian crawls down from his shoulder to his arm, before taking flight. Growling, Izuku grew ready to snap her teeth at it, but she wasn't expecting for it to land on her head. Blinking, she tries to shake it off, but it squawks at her, before settling down between her horns. "What is this about?" she growls, staring down at Soundwave.
The other said nothing, but his blank mask lit up, to show a birthday cake emoji before shifting into a present box emoji. Staring, Izuku looks at him in perplex, "Are… are you saying that he's a birthday present?" Soundwave once more said nothing, but nodded his head before transforming, and the reaper drone took flight, leaving them behind without a word. "Ok that happen," she mutters a bit.
"Soundwave was always mysterious...but his loyalty to Megatron is without a question," Optimus stated, "With you as Megatron's official heiress, you now too have the same loyalty and his fierce protectiveness. But he understands that he will not be allowed to protect you with you being on our side, so him giving you Buzzsaw as a means to protect you is the best of his abilities he can do for now...though we will have Ratchet look over him to make sure that there is nothing attached to Buzzsaw that he can use to find our base,"
"Buzzsaw huh," Izuku whispers, the mini-Cassette squawking in hello, "You better not eat Highwire, that is all I'm saying,"
"There is going to be no one here," Starscream complained as he sank into the darkness of the vast ocean. "Faulty sensors...that is all this is," he mutters as he came to rest on the floor of the abyssal deep. His face scrunched up as primeval mud billowed around his legs. A few ghostly white, wholly blind fish shot away as fast as their wriggling, eel-like swimming movements could propel them. Indifferent to the immense pressure, he switches on his internal beam.
Light, an utterly alien presence in such surrounding, illuminated his position, allowing him to see. He glowers at the fools who had died at Mission City, proof of their failure of acquiring the Allspark sparking rage in his body, "the thing I need now are rumors that Megatron is still,"
A groan interrupted him, and Starscream turns his head to see a single gigantic, chain-wrapped figure, silent and unmoving, at first. But when Starscream grow closer, Megatron's body moved, grabbing him by the arm tightly, "Megatron...but how," he whispers watching as Megatron eyes faded, and he slumps. "The Allspark...it must have not put all its power into your Spark...some of it must have been use to turn that brat of yours into a beast," he looks down at his...leader, "Everyone believes you are decease...who am I to disappoint them?" he raises his claws up, to rip out Megatron's Spark himself...when a screech cries out.
Growling, he turns to see none other than Laserbeak, gliding towards him. Gritting his teeth together, Starscream pulls back, "Maybe another day," he thought before he calls out, "Soundwave if you are listenting, I have found Lord Megatron, and he is unwell. We must transport him to sick bay, immediately,"
"Happy Birthday, Izuku!" blinking her green optics, Izuku looks around in amazement, blue light shimmering under the silver scales of her face.
"You….you didn't have...have to do this,"
"Oh stop complaining, oh Fearless Leader," Cade said, crossing his arms with a wide smile, "You could say thank you,"
Swallowing, she nodded her head, "Thanks...really," it felt...weird to celebrate her birthday. There was hardly time in the war, though Predaking made sure they celebrated it when she reached fifteen, and Izuku didn't really feel the...need to celebrate it the last four years. Though, she was now glad as she eyes the very giant mango cake that was presented in front of her, the tip of her tail wagging. She then frowns, turning to Optimus, "Is that why you brought me along with you?
"Mei may have mention to keep you preoccupied while they get everything set up. A Sparkday is a very important celebration and one should not miss it. Even during times of war," Izuku smiles but forwns when Charlie gestures to Optimus. The Autobot leader coughs a bit, "Izuku...Charlie has...told me of your...hatred of your last name," Izuku grimaces, her tail stilling. It was something that she didn't mention, but she did hated the last name Midoriya. Its why she tells people to call her Izuku, as it was Hisashi's last name. Her mother couldn't change it as her parent's, Izuku grandparents, did not want a Quirkless child connected to them. Her mom thought she didn't hear this, but they had gave her a choice, give up Izuku and take back their family name...or be cut out from the family forever more.
Izuku was sadden for her mother, but was very glad that she had chose her.
Optimus waited for a bit, before contuining, "And well...I know that Megatron was the one to raise you since you were twelve...but he is, and still is my Conjunx Endura...and while I can not give you the last name Prime...I can give you my last name before I became a Prime," Izuku looks up, "How does Izuku Pax sound to you?"
Izuku's eyes widen at this, she knew the true meaning of this. Izuku consider Megatron her father, consider Bumblebee her brother...Optimus was asking for permission to become a part of her family, if she would give him the honor of calling her his daughter. Swallowing, Izuku nodded her head, "I...I think I would really like that….dad,"
"Oh my Primus...is he smiling," Electro whispers to Bulkhead, "I think I never seen him smile," he then yelps as Melody slaps the back of his head, "Mel!"
"Stop ruining the moment,"
"Ok, Boss!" Mei calls out, "We got some more presents here...so why don't you open them and then you can have your gigantic cake that Charlie was able to order for….you!" she squeaks and they all stared as a small head popped up.
Izuku's eyes widen, her mouth dropping as she stares at the small girl. Her blond hair falling to her back, her green and brown eyes looking wide in wonder, thought they still a bit at the sight of the Autobots, a shimmer of fear in them. But when the little girl turn her gaze to Izuku, a grin all but spread across her face, the fear fading away as she scramble out from behind the boxes and ran towards her, a lion plush all but clutch in her hand as she crashes into Izuku's leg, "Big Sister! I found you!"
"Twyla?"
This was the longest chapter I made in a very long time but I did it!
Hello Twyla, good to see you here. For those who read my deathpuss fic, Twyla is the oc that belong to my friend Twilightna. Because since most of the humans that sided with the autobots are adults, we need the tradion of kids being friends with them, so Twyla is here. And she has a special relationship with both Izuku and Predaking. I would have done more explanation in this chapter but my hands feel they are about to fall off. So next chapter there will be more explanation.
Melissa...I have decided that her and Izuku's relationship is going to be what Hori was trying to shove down our throats with Bakugou's and Izuku relationship. An actual healthy rivalry between these two though Melissa with feel insecure with the fact that she wasn't the first choice.
Izuku, I'm just saying it right now, her ability to transform will be base off on how the KSI drone transformers transformed. because it makes much sense and not body horror if she could do it how cybertronians normally do it. Her body just falls apart and reshapes itself.
And hello Megatron! Good to see you still somewhat kicking. I did a mixture between how Megatron was found in Prime but also did what show in Revenge of the Fallen. In this, he is still alive but...very weak, its amazing he is still kicking.
Anyway, hope you all enjoy! Please leave a review while I rest my hands!
