Prodigious Awakening | A Transformer Fanfiction

Chapter 1

Sage's POV

I just finished my last lesson today. I packed up and walked out of the building into the snowy roads. It was winter here, and it's my second year in university. The subjects were pretty easy to follow, since... Don't tell anyone. I actually analyzed cybertronian technology. It is way more complex than the hardest human technology, but still, it was quite hard to use. But it did give me a boost in my knowledge in engineering, which is what I take here.

I live alone here in a small house. My family is back in Texas. I'm the second child out of 5. My older brother's name is Ryan. He's 25, and he's already married, but he still lives near mom and dad. My little brothers names are Ted and Don. Ted's 17, and Don's 13. My little sister Amy is 9. It can get quite lonely here, when you're used to hearing so much noise, but I got used to it.

The walk back home was cold. It was 5:40 PM here now. The walk home takes about 20 minutes. It was cold, snowy, and dark. Kind of a really sad feeling right now. The road was slow, very few cars pass and nearly no one in the streets. I put my headphones on, and played a song perfect for this time. Irisdescent by Linkin Park. I knew this song from the ending in Transformers Dark of the Moon, one of my favorite Transformers movies. I'm a big fan. And I meant big. Not much people know though. Despite me having some devices with cybertronian tech inside, and part of my hair painted blue and red. They thought I was just making an American flag. Like, Primus, where did that even come from?

I arrived home. My house was all white, and looked just like any other houses here. But one of the rooms here is bigger than the others. It's pretty much my lab or wherever I do my stuff.

I got in the house and took my shoes off. I turned on the lights revealing an empty living room. Not fully empty, just a little sofa and a living room table. My friends pretty much only visits me when they need help or anything. Other than that, I'm usually always left out. I know that I'm not fun, but sometimes it does get lonely.

I walked to my bedroom, which crossed the kitchen. On the other side of the bedroom was the bathroom. My bedroom is my private space in the house, where no one except me has ever been inside. The door looked very normal and bland like all the other rooms, but once you get inside, it's a whole other room.

The walls were white, but one side of it was red, where there was a window, desk, and shelves there. The wall next to it, was all blue, where there was my bed, bookshelves, and bed table. The white sides of the room, there was a bigger table and lots of electronics. A glass shelf where I put my special items and models. And frames hung up the walls with my drawings and medals from my Martial Arts competitions. The room was really big, and tall. And one the other side of the room, was a life sized Optimus Prime.... idk what to call it. His shape is the one in AOE-TLK.

I've been working on him for over 3 years. I just got the frame (body), done less than 6 months ago, and now I'm working on the program. My parents found out when I made this, and they told me I was crazy, and this was extreme obsession. I didn't care, nor listened, and continued making it. I wanted it to be as real as possible, so I made a spark for him, I filled it with all the programs and codes he'll need. And the memories too. I watched nearly every Transformers from all universes, and made him memories from scratch. I'm a 3D animator too, so I managed to make him memories of what I think happened before, and put it in him. The data will be sent to the head for it to be processed and released to the rest of the body. So just like in the movies, his spark and his head is the most important part of the body. I even made a matrix of leadership fo him, to keep his extra memories and other stuff, just incase the Spark gets destroyed, I'll still have the recording of everything in the Matrix.

I sat down on the chair and continued writing the program for it. It's the last bit and I hoped to try turning him on tonight. Thanks to Cybertronian technology, I figured a way for him to get his energy other than from electricity. Thanks to KSI secret files I decoded from the AOE movie that helps me use energon as his energy instead. I made synthetic energon thanks to the Transformers : Prime series.

I made the program for the next 3 hours, before finally! It was done. I climbed up the ladder to Optimus's chassis. I turned on my high tech wrist band and opened his chassis, revealing the spark. Or atleast looked like it. I turned on the lights from my hight tech wristbands. I already printed the program to this disk, and I carefully put it into Optimus. I put energon in his tanks, and closed his chassis before going down again. I walked over to the computer, and took a deep breath....

After 3 years... I'm finally doing it...

I clicked the button, and the wires connecting him to it started glowing blue. I watched it nervously as it travelled into Optimus. His optics started glowing blue, and it flashed slightly. The wires stopped glowing, meaning it was completed. Optimus's optics were still blue. I watched nervously for anything to happen...

But then, his optics went dim again. I sighed and put my head on the table. "Of course it wouldn't work. What am I doing? I'm just obsessed, I'm crazy" I said outloud, as I put my arms around my hand. I replayed all the hard work I've put into making him. I was too blinded by excitement that I forgot that everything there was fake. Of course I couldn't make him...

Just then. I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Excuse me?".... That voice... Could only belong to....
