Transformers Prime [Cybrotronions to Humans]

Chapter 16

No P.O.V

The Base was more silent than normal, with no Wrekers, kids playing video games, or Miko playing her loud music. There was complete silence.

Previously, the Base was bustling with various noises like Miko strumming her guitar, the TV playing, and the Bots chattering.

However, it appears that you have walked into a structure that has been empty for hundreds of years. You will find no dust on the walls or floor, no broken glass, or rats running loose.

It felt as if time had come to a standstill, with everything remaining completely motionless.

Something had to occur, there has to be an explanation for why everything appears...so lifeless.

   Earlier in the day, Miko had been talking nonstop to Jack and Rafael about her desire to introduce a new summer game to the Bots.

   Summer was approaching, and the heatwave would arrive shortly. The community pool was packed while some individuals enjoyed their private pools.

   So a plan was devised. All three of them were going to purchase the necessary equipment. They weren't going to miss the opportunity to show the robots a new way to have fun and potentially swing by their houses to swap outfits in the process.

   However, they had to accomplish this task without being detected by any Bots and given their lack of transportation, they would have to utilize the Ground Bridge.

   This turned out to be a poor decision, as Ratchet witnessed them entering coordinates into the screens, leading to trouble. There was further trouble for not providing an explanation, along with a lecture from Prime. This resulted in earning the new nickname 'Dad', which surprised both Prime and the medic. Following this, the children exited the hall feeling let down that they were unable to execute their plans, with their companions trailing after them, except for Optimus and Ratchet.

Bumblebee and Smokescreen emerged from the yellow sports car carrying a large blue and green box, as well as two shopping bags. Both individuals stated that they would go shopping to lift the spirits of the children, ultimately resulting in a expenditure of two to three hundred dollars. However, the children prevented anyone from starving, so no one was concerned about the money that was wasted. After they discovered that through tough experience.

"What did you purchase?" inquired Ratchet, keeping his eyes on his project. The speeders came to a halt as Optimus approached them.

"We considered helping the children's idea become a reality," Smokescreen replied as he and Bumblebee ventured further into the hallway.

"I'm curious about what that could be," Ratchet muttered as Optimus joined the Speeders to assist with lifting the heavy box.

The silence engulfed the medic, a feeling he despised as it stirred up memories of the war and the people he had lost. However, the sound of children's laughter brought a sense of joy and comfort to him. However, he never openly confessed to it.

All of a sudden, Ratchet experienced a sense of solitude and concluded it would be wise to locate the rest of the group to ensure that whatever scheme the children had devised was not harmful.

He departed from his workplace, strolled to the hallway, took a deep breath, and headed towards the increasing amusement.

As they walked, the laughter increased. With each step he took, he pondered whether the transformation of Cybertronians into humans was a mere coincidence or if it served a specific intent.

Abruptly, the Medic stood facing a metal door, hearing laughter on the opposite side. The door was slightly open, causing the medic to pause initially, but eventually, he managed to push it open. What he witnessed was the utmost.

"By the Allspark!"
