TFP prologue

Moment

The days passed by and all I did was laying on medical berth like they call it. In those days I learned that there was two more of them. Five in total.

Besides PeaceStar, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, one was Bulkhead. He sounds a funny guy. Big, but funny. Then there was Ratchet by words he uses I think he is a doctor or something like that. Also that he was bit cranky. By what I heard he didn't like the idea me to be here because I'm easy to squish. And every time PeaceStar says that she will look after me or that she is small too and yet everyone is careful with her. But in the end, he is a good person. He even has asked how is my status and all. Looks cranky, but inside softy, I would say.

I started to get bored on just lying around. I had tried to get up few times, but every time PeaceStar or Ratchet orders me back to lay down. Now I was trying it again since no one wasn't around. Like the first time, it's hard to get up with one arm. I took few deep breaths while I sat on the berth and ready to get up.

Right, then I heard someone coming. By heavy and calm steps I managed to guess who it was. Who knew you can learn only by step who it belongs to.

"What are you trying to do?" asked Optimus.

I sighed for been busted.

"I'm tired to just lay around here," I answered. I was expecting another lecture not to get up, but instead, I felt hand near me. I tried my best to first get much closer and lay my upper body on it. But when he lifted his hand, I realized to climb to it. Next thing I knew I must be lifted high next to his chest.

But Optimus lift his hand up than usual. When I tried my hand where I was, my first guess I near his shoulder. Then I find a spot to sit on. I tried now climb with one arm and a leg to it, while he still holds his hand if I fall.

Soon I managed to sit on his shoulder. I tried with my hand to see where to hold. From my right side, I managed to tell I was on his right side. So, I have to try to find support from his left side. I started to try to move my hand to the left when I found something. By how he reacted I believed I found where he has his ear. Then I got bit curious and wanted to try if I could manage to imagine how he looks like.

It was like he sensed what I was trying to, Optimus turn his face to me. I tried to find his cheek, but there was something front of it first I wasn't sure. Once I get to the cheek I managed to found his mouth, eyes and other things.

"What is that you wear?" I asked.

"My battle mask," he answered.

"Battle? Are you a warrior?" I asked again.

"Superior then that?" he said.

"As a leader? Of what?" I asked. In this Optimus chuckled a bit.

"Haven't PeaceStar haven't told you about us Autobots?" he asked.

"Is that what you're called? Wasn't it autom...robotism..."

"Autobots for short." he chuckled.

"Oh, that's a bit better. But no, She hadn't told anything about you yet. she said it's long and sad story." I said.

"Well, that most of it true..." he said and turn his face ahead.

I start to feel how he start a walk and I had to take hold of him. I don't know what was happening, but it sounded like we went to some kind elevator to go up. From up we get outside. I knew it because I felt the wind blowing calmly. By temperature, I said it was late afternoon. After few steps, he stopped and keep looking ahead.

"Elena, the reason, why we're here is because we had lost our home." started Optimus.

"What happened to it?" I asked.

"It consumed by war," he said.

I stayed quiet. I knew Wars were bad enough here, but I never thought it could destroy entire life on the planet. "What happened?"

"It all started fast. There was us Autobots trying to protect everything. And there was also Decepticons, who destroyed everything which stood in their way. Their Leader Megatron was once a good friend of mine, but he betrayed us all. The war kept going on until everything was lost. We had no other choice but leave our home."

"Why here?" I asked.

"In the middle of the war, some of us started to hide energon supplies different planets like this one," he said.

"So, there are others?"

"We don't know. From far it seems most of it was hidden here." He said.

"Do these Decepticons know it too?"

"They might soon. So, far we haven't' heard from them. But I know they're still out there."

"Are there any other Autobots?" I asked.

"We don't know..."

I started to wonder what to say. They have been through worse than me. I may have lost my life and dad, but they had lost more. They lost their friends, families, everything...

"I'm sorry for your lost." was I all could say. He didn't answer, but I somehow knew he accepted what I had said.

We stood there for a while before headed back to base. When we get in, the first thing we heard worried PeaceStar.

"Where in the name of Primus you were?" she yelled.

"Um...up?" I said.

"Take it easy, Peace. She looks fine... mostly," said Bulkhead.

"Hey. I may be blind without arm and leg, but I'm not dumb." I said.

Everyone laughed a bit at that comment. Soon I was resting on berth again while I heard how they were on the work. All they do mostly was patrolling and looking for energon. I wasn't sure, but I started to like them and wish to actually see them how they look like and mostly stay with them.
