Transformers Prime: Maximal Revolution

Chapter 7

Slowly it opened it's optics only to discover it couldn't move, it was trapped in some kind of small space surrounded by liquid. It needed to get out, it could see other objects like it's prison with others floating inside. Something sharp suddenly poked it's side then drew away and it's cell lit up as electricity surged around it. Pain! There was nothing but pain. Then that one red optic face appeared in front of it's view. . .

The Alicorn jerked up in alarm, heaving air through it's vents as it tried to calm down. It shook it's head trying to clear it's thoughts. It was that dream again, of the time before.

It glanced around to see everyone else was still in peaceful recharge. Quietly the Alicorn rose and carefully exited the cave, it glance at the still dark sky before stretching it's wings. Then with a few flaps it's air born. Soaring through the now lightning sky over the forest, it could relax now as the dark thoughts were chased away.

Then it caught that sent.

Another of those blue crystals were here. Diving towards a clearing in the forest it spotted one crystal in the very middle. The Alicorn circled down, it hadn't spotted anything from above but after what had happened yesterday it helped to be careful. It landed and slowly approached the crystal.

"The first thing I believe you want to hear is that I mean you no harm." The Alicorn froze as the tall blue and red being moved from behind a cliff. The Alicorn stood there for a moment before it whirled and ran. "Please, I mean you no harm," Optimus called. To his relief the Alicorn did stop and turned to gaze at him still tense. The Autobot leader held out his hands to show he was unarmed, "I just wish to speak. Can you transform?"

The Alicorn gazed at him as it seemed to ponder that for a moment before the sounds of transforming filled the air and soon a tall, regal femme in white armor with gold and purple highlights stood before him. She had a light silver face, upper arms and servos. And like her beast mode had green optics that were much like Arcee's expect she had purple iris's instead of pink. She had a white helm with a gold and purple crest with gold and purple fin-like antenna on the sides of her helm that gave her the look of wearing a crown.

Optimus was surprised to find that she was almost as tall as him. He actually found himself at a loss for words for a moment. "I. . . greetings. I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots." She crocked her head to the side. "Can you speak?"

"Y-Yes," was the soft reply.

Megatron entered the command deck to see how the search was going, it had been decided to have Laserbeak scout the area alone after the last disaster. "Any progress?"

Starscream turned to him with a annoyed look, "None my lord, and if I may this is nothing but a waste of time."

"Of course you would, Herr Kommandant." Knock Out remarked from where he was leaning against the wall.

Starscream sent him a nasty look before turning back to the silver Warlord, "Really my lord it could be days, weeks, maybe even months before we find them-"

"Laserbeak has found something," Shockwave announced. He didn't noticed Starscream's optic twitch. The screen lit up to show Optimus Prime, and he was talking to the Alicorn Predacon. They all stared shocked as it transformed.

He keep a distance not wanting to crowd her, something she seemed to appreciate. The Autobot leader tried to think of what to say that wouldn't confuse the Predacon, this wasn't like talking to a youngling that had just emerged from the Well of All Sparks. He went for the direct approach, "I'm sure you have many questions."

"I'm not sure where to start," was the honest reply. She still looked so hesitant.

"Ask and I will answer as best as I can."
