The Reboot. (Tarn Male Reader)

The Reveal

More days go by. Funny to think that I've had more peace on this planet than I did on my home planet. I am sitting on a canyon wall looking down, just enjoying the view...Until I hear some type of drilling noise echoing nearby. Curiosity gets the best of me and I get up and quietly walk across the canyon wall. I see an opening of a cave and hear the drilling noise grow louder. I sneak inside. I quietly walk deeper into the cave. My optics widen from what I see. The Decepticons mining for Energon. Lots of it. I quickly hide behind a rock. I look down at my hands and see them shaking. My breathing becomes more heavy and short. I start remembering everything I did under his command...I fall to my knees and try controlling my breathing, but my fall makes too much noise and I hear footsteps approaching. My breathing quickens, and memories continue flooding into my mind. I close my optics. I cannot let them continue whatever they plan for this planet. My optics shoot open and I stand up, raising my arm, pointing my cannons at the Vehicon, and fire, blasting straight through his chest. More of them look over at me and raise their weapons. I cannot let them reveal my existence to him. So, in the heat of the moment, I start running back to the entrance. I point my cannons at the Energon and fire. The Energon immediately and violently reacts, blowing up and incinerating everything in that cave. I fail to outrun the explosion and get sent flying out of the cave and thrown straight into a canyon wall, the whole area shakes from the explosion, and the canyon wall cracks from my impact. I fall and groan in pain. I sigh and stand back up.

Me: Well, that could've gone worse...

I lean against the canyon wall for a few seconds before getting off the wall and grabbing the device to open a Ground Bridge to where I've set up base and walk through the portal inside the "ship".

Me: Thank Primus for my heavy armor plating...

I walk inside the "command center" and place my hands on the keyboard, accidentally pressing a button. I slightly jump and step back from hearing and seeing a section of the wall opening and revealing four protoforms. My optics widen in surprise as I slowly approach them. I look them up and down.

Me: Very...interesting...

I head back to the console and start looking through the previous files, searching for anything that could help me with this discovery I found about this place.

*Time Skip*

A real optic opening experience. The Decepticons planned to use these as either actual protoforms or clones. Never had a clue they even had stuff like this. Though, I guess to be fair, all I really was for Megatron was just a...dog. Mindlessly following his orders. Though that's really just my own fault. Well, no longer. I have constantly tossed lives away like the bullets used in battle. I will not let this planet go down the same path that unfortunately fell to Cybertron.

Me: Though...if the Decepticons are here...the Autobots will not be far behind. Best to avoid them for the time being.

I grimace at the flood of memories that rush into my mind. The things I've done...I can't blame them. No matter. I cannot change what I did then, I can only hope to do better now.

I press the button again and the wall closes back up. I sit against a wall again.

Me: I will learn more about the protoforms later...that blast left quite the mark...stasis mode will help as my system runs anything that needs repairs internally...and I'm talking to myself...no wonder everyone thought I was a psychopath.

I close my optics and slip into stasis mode.
