The Spark Of Hope [Transformers x Zenless Zone Zero]

Patch 0.1: Unknown Entity

=Old Warehouse Brant Street Construction Site, New Eridu=

Khor Belobog, president of Belobog Heavy Industries, took his two daughters to an old, abandoned warehouse at the construction site. Nobody used the place, as far as Khor had heard from one of his workers. Instead of letting the stuff rust, he decided to take a look before deciding whether to remake the warehouse and claim it for himself.

He needed to get a birthday present for his adoptive daughter, Grace Howard. The only thing he could think of was taking her to the warehouse so she could grab whatever useful parts she needed for her projects. Her sister, Koleda, wasn't really into that kind of stuff.

Khor patted Grace's head and smiled at her. "This warehouse has been abandoned for a long time. There's a lot of stuff left here, so consider it your birthday present. Take whatever you want for your projects!" he said cheerfully. His adoptive daughter beamed and launched into a hug, which Khor returned.

She let go of him and replied, "Thanks, Dad! You're the best. I can't wait to build something new! C'mon, Koleda, let's check it out!" Excited, she grabbed her sister's arm and dragged her into the warehouse. Koleda frowned, making their father laugh as he followed behind.

They entered the warehouse, and without wasting time, Grace immediately started scavenging parts around the area. Koleda followed her. Khor was busy looking around, hoping to find something interesting, but everything seemed old or too rusty to use. He sighed and continued searching.

After a while, it was time to head home. Grace was pulling a platform trolley full of stuff, with Koleda pushing behind. Khor smiled and said, "You girls done? The sun's about to set, and you don't want your tummies rumbling." His joke made his daughters cringe.

Just as they were about to leave, Grace's eyes caught something. She ran towards it, and Khor and Koleda followed. Grace was struggling to pull off a white fabric. They both helped her, and when the fabric was removed, they were surprised to see an old, abandoned truck. "Whoa... a truck! But... it looks too rusty," Koleda said, looking rather sad. Khor chuckled and patted her head as he observed the truck. Grace was trying to climb up and open the door to see what was inside.

As the door opened, several large shells came out, knocking Grace down. Khor panicked and helped his daughter to her feet, brushing off her clothes while Koleda moved the shells out of the way. "Grace, are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?" Khor asked, worried. But Grace didn't cry or seem hurt. Instead, she climbed back up to the truck because her curiosity was killing her.

Once she was on top, she saw more large shells inside. She looked around, hoping to find something useful or potentially fixable. After her investigation, she climbed down and ran towards her father. "So, did you find anything interesting, Grace?" he asked, curious about what his daughter had seen.

Grace shook her head and responded, "Nope, but I did see a lot of weird symbols. But that's not really important. What is important is that I want to fix this truck! Please, Dad, I want it, I want it!"

Koleda joined in. "Yeah! If we fix this truck, it'll be so cool! Judging by its looks, it has a painted flame! Pretty please, Dad!" She and her step-sister begged their father with their cute puppy eyes, which Khor could hardly refuse.

Nevertheless, he chuckled and decided, "Alright, alright, calm down. I'll buy this truck, but be sure to fix it instead of leaving it like that, got it?" He looked at his daughters, who were excited and jumping up and down before hugging their father.

"Thanks, Dad! You're the best dad ever!" they said in unison. Khor patted their heads at the same time. They went outside and talked to the warehouse owner to purchase the truck. They were successful without any problems and went home.
