Transformer Hero (The Rising Of The Shield Hero)

Ch3: Partnership

Previously...

"I've decided." The cloaked figure looks back at Ventus, then grips the front part of the cage before he then forcefully rips it off, putting it to the side. "You, Ventus. You are coming with me." He now sajd to Ventus, but his voice was calm and gentle.

"I am?" Ventus looks on in surprise. She was leaving this place and going somewhere better? She looks on at the cloaked figure. "But... who are you? You don't look like a Cardinal Hero."

"I am not a Cardinal Hero, nor am I a slave trafficker, or a torturer." The cloaked figure knelt down on one knee before he reached a hand to the right side of his helmet.

Ventus watches on as the helmet seemed to begin to fold away and shift and move about the cloaked man's face, just as he lowers his head. A moment later, he pulls back the hood covering his head as he raises his head to look at her. She now saw a brunette male possibly around the same age as her, who has a blue tattoo marking on the left side of his face.

"I am Lord Indominus Prime, leader of the Cybertronian Imperium, the Guild of the Transformers."

After his discovery of the demi-human slave trader, as well as releasing Ventus from her cage, Indominus now began to lead the demi-human out of the city and out into the countryside. He has his black hood up and his helmet and mask on, his eyes looking left and right and checking behind him to make sure neither one of them are being followed or not, all the while with Ventus moving about with a smile on her face.

"Feels so good to be free..." Ventus smiled, then she looked back at Indominus, though she tilts her head in confusion. "Uh, Lord... I mean, Sir." The man in black looks at her. "What shall I call you?"

"My offical name is Lord Indominus Prime. But for you, you can simply call me 'Indominus'." The masked man in black gave a small bow of his head to her.

"I must ask, why do you bear that helmet and mask, and hide yourself in black?" Ventus asked, but she then stopped when she saw the look in Indominus' eyes. "Uh- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-" But Ventus saw that he wasn't staring at her.

Indominus steps forward, Ventus now behind him. He looks on at the line of trees before him and his new companion. He could see a pair of glowing red eyes in the bushes. He knelt down on one knee, his eyes now glowing a vibrant blue, just as his chest does so as well. Before Ventus could ask what's wrong, a wolf-like creature bursts out of the bushes, charging straight at them! Indominus lets out a snarling growl before he too charged forward at breakneck speed, much to the shock of Ventus. The wolf-creature leaped forward, but as it did so, Indominus suddenly performs a spinning move as he deploys a sharpened blade from his right arm, stabbing right through the creature before he then slammed the beast down into the ground. A second later, he pulls out some kind of cannon and fires four rounds at the beast, killing the creature in no time.

Indominus now exhales a deep breath as he retracted both sword and cannon, the blue glow fading in his eyes and chest, just as he then saw his stats go up in response. But he didn't care about that. He just saw another beast that had to be vanquished. Indominus got to his feet and looked over to Ventus, who could only look on awestruck and amazed.

"That... that was amazing." Ventus made her way over to the cloaked man in black. "You took down that wolf beast so fast- Your sword came out of nowhere- and they long-barrel weapon- Where did that-" She then began to cough and wheeze out.

Indominus now held out a cup full of fresh river water. "Drink this. Your throat will feel better." Ventus now began to drink it down, much to her relief as she panted and coughs out, her voice slowly getting better. "Your questions will be answered when we reach the Imperium. Once there, we'll be safe." He said to her.
