Chapter 1: Intro
On a night so clear that the stars look like flashlights in an abyss so deep no light reaches the bottom, there is a monolith of stone that stands with its brothers on a plain of barren sand and weed. Upon the apex of this monolith there is a lone figure standing next to a seemingly small stone pile.
That figure is none other than Arcee, second in command of a small group of other similar beings known as the autobots. The autobots are a group of giant alien autonomous robotic organisms from the planet cybertron. The autobots are at war with a different faction of their race known as the decepticons that are bent on complete and total conquest. Their war started on their home planet but when it was rendered uninhabitable they reached for the stars and landed on a little planet known as Earth.
Now as we zoom in on Arcee we see that she is cobalt blue with pink highlights around the edges of her helmet, wrists, boots, and upper body. Her torso, upper arms, thighs, and face are without the cobalt blue armor and are a metallic grey color. As we can zoom in on her face we see that she has a slim face with smooth, curved features and thin cobalt blue metallic eye brows and glowing blue eyes. All surrounded by a blue helm with pink highlights on the sides with a single pink 'horn' that rises from the center of her forehead.
As we look on we see that she is in a great deal of emotional pain. And even as we watch she looks at the pile next to her and turns back to the starry sky.
Arcee's perspective
As I gaze up at the stars I think about cliff jumper and remember all the great times we had and how we met. I remember the anger and pain I felt when we found out he was dead. And how not soon after I met my first civilian human; Jack Darby. He is a kind kid but he is just a burden, a mission, an assignment given to me by Optimus. All I want is to get this over with so I can start my search for the one who offlined Cliffjumper and unleash the wrath of Unicron upon them.
As I continue to gaze at the stars a massive bat-like shape passes over the moon and continues to head toward the nearby town, and residence of my charge Jack, Jasper, Nevada.
"What the…"
As I watched it disappear out of sight over jasper I see it has a small body and a large wingspan. And sprouting from the rear is what looks like a large pointed tail.
When it finally disappears over the horizon I turn to go back into the base, but stop when the mysterious being flew by overhead at what I thought had to be close to the speed of sound. Just as I thought that the thing broke the sound barrier with a thunderous boom. After which it flew off into the night with a primal roar on it's lips.
"That was very peculiar to say the least. If I tell the others Ratchet will think that I have finally lost it doo to the stress of losing my second partner. And need to remain in base strapped to a berth."
After some more thought I have decided to not tell the others. With that settled I headed back into the base. But I can't help but wonder as to what I have just seen. This event has left its fair share of questions in my processor.
"What was that mysterious beast in the sky?"
