"November 8, 2018"


"Detroit, 8:00 A.M"

In the solitude of the dojo at the Autobot Base, Chromia balances herself on the tip of her Metal Staff and begins to mediate, letting out a deep exhale as she clears her mind and blocks out all distractions. 

Suddenly, the sounds of mechanical buzzing are heard as Chromia opens her optics and looks around in confusion.

Two toy model airplanes fly into the dojo and closely circle around Chromia, causing her concentration to break as she loses her balance and falls to the ground with a hard thud.

The two planes land at the entrance as the Gibson Twins, Blake and Jake walk into the dojo where they find Chromia lying on her head with her feet in the air after falling from a considerable height.

Chromia (😵‍💫): *Groans*

Blake: Sorry, Chromia!

Jake: Yeah, we didn't mean to scare you or anything! We were just fooling around with our toy planes around base and didn't know you were in here!

Blake: Are you okay?

Chromia stands to her feet, holding her throbbing. 

Chromia: I am. Just a little dizzy!

Blake and Jake: Phew!

A minute later, Sentinel Prime walks into the dojo, clearly annoyed by all the ruckus from earlier.

Sentinel Prime: What in the name of the Allspark is going on here!?

Chromia: The twins kinda startled me with their toys while and made fall. We're sorry. It won't happen again. We promise.

Sentinel Prime: Fine, but do us all a favor and keep all the racket, okay? Some of us are trying to get in some last minute shut eye before the big day ahead.

Chromia: We'll try.

Sentinel Prime: You better.

Sentinel turns and walks out, accidentally stepping on one of the twins' planes.

Blake: Aww man!

Chromia: Asshole.

Sentinel turns back and walks into the dojo.

Sentinel Prime: You have something to say?

Chromia silently glares at Sentinel who walks over to her.

Sentinel Prime: Make no mistake! The tensions between us might've died down some over these past five and a half months, but don't think I won't set you straight in a nano-klick! As the leader, I demand loyalty and respect from each and every member, human or Autobot! That means you too, Chromia!

Chromia: How can I respect someone who doesn't even respect me or my sisters in return?

A moment of tension lingers in the air as the two Autobots exchange intense glares back and forth at each other.

Blake: Umm...Jake? I don't think I wanna stick around to see how this ends!

Jake: Yeah, me neither! Let's bounce!

The twins grab their toy planes and skid-daddle away without another word.

Sentinel Prime: I'm giving you fifteen minutes to get your things packed. We'll be leaving by 9 whether you're ready or not.

Chromia: Fine.

Sentinel finally leaves the dojo and heads down the hallway, leaving Chromia to herself as she begins packing her things.
