The Space Bridge Accident... (On Hold)

Chapter 2: Where on Earth have I Ended Up?

  I found myself weakly coming to as my optic came back online for a second time, having notice for me that everything that I could see within my surroundings had been changed once again. Where was I? I couldn't tell exactly, but it was far from the beach or even the forest I had crash landed anymore. I weakly raised my head up further and looking around a little bit with what I could see within the limited vision I had at the time to find drag marks in the dirt and grass leading towards where I laying, so that gives confirmation sort to the idea.
  "As if things weren't unexpected and possibly even more dangerous than it was already..." I thought more alertly due to the fact that I'm a much denser "bot" with being at least a minimum of 25 tons in weight... so whatever thing that had dragged me here had to have been concerningly strong enough just to even have the ability to barely drag me to wherever this place is... even possibly have enough force to break my now severely damage body at any given chance.
Not too long after waking up, I felt the rest my suit from my head down along with all my other senses started to come back online, so I was now able to feel and hear things again. Once I had those senses back, I quickly realized that besides being moved to a new location, I was currently laying on something really soft that admittedly felt nice to my damaged and pained body... so I weakly looked down below me in my limited vision to see that I was laying in what seemed to be a odd circle like thing with it being made out of soft animal fur and cotton along with some of my previously bleeding injuries were patched up for the most part. I then remembered that dark figure I had saw at the beach that was slowly walking towards me right before I had went offline.
  "I haven't expired from my injuries... Not the most preferable, but it's is a start..." I murmured while testing out my digits/fingers on my servo/hand to make sure I had a good grasp of controlling my body. Just as I finished that saying that, I heard a voice to my left say, "Ah, looks like you're up Des... No worries though, I've patched that suit up of yours. So you should be ok for the most part...".

I slowly looked over next to me to find a sight that I just couldn't think even my barely functioning processor could stretch with what it was showing mep... There was a BLACK DRAGON... DRINKING TEA... OUT OF A HUMAN SIZED TEACUP as if that was a absolutely normal thing for a dragon to do. I would have admittedly screamed in how unexpected this was and tried to quickly back away from the thing as far as I possibly could have... but I literally didn't have the energon to do nothing more but to just slightly jump back from where I was with having all the pain come back to make me suffer once again.
  "How... How can you even speak...? Let alone, speak a human language...? And why do you even drink tea...? Is that just something normal that happens here...?".
  "To your first question... that is a harder one to explain. It was just sort of a thing that I was able to learn how to do. For that second question of yours... drinking tea is a normal thing that I and... Well, Des do." They said, the voice giving indication that they were more female and having that pause after saying the name "Des" again. Now they've lost me... Cogs were spinning in the back as things starting to make a connections on what made little more sense, but most of it was still not by much...
  "You all good there? Still have a few screws loose?" I heard them ask though the buggy rendering of my senses.
  "You must be underestimating the damages then if you think that's all that is missing..." I half-grumbled, "Who or what is this "Des" that you are referring to anyway...? Calling me that name and then calling someone else by the same thing, is there some sort of miscalculation here? Why does it sound similar to a name of my own? Do they know Megatron? All of what exactly is going on here?"
  "Hold it! Hold it... Just calm down and give me a second to go grab him, he's more than likely would be the one to help answer those questions of yours." They quickly, but allayed back to me as she got up and went off somewhere where my vision failed to see.
As I was waiting for whoever this "Des" was, I found myself looking around a little more to see how beautiful wherever I had ended up was. Everything around looked so alive and like it hadn't been infected by the touch of neither human life nor Transformers... and there was even a soothing waterfall somewhat next to where I was sitting to add to it all as well. A decent change of scenery for once considering how itchy all of my haul was along with the dark and glowing purple with some red occasionally bring seen of the Decepticon Warship with its menacing and heavy atmosphere. All of that was gone here... Almost made me forget about the itchy shell. I then heard some footsteps coming back my way, to which I looked over and saw the black dragon coming back with them carrying a darker blue haired human with their mouth by using the back jacket collar. As it brought who I'm assumed was Des over, I now had a better view of the dragon and noticed that a good couple of body parts on it that were replaced with some pretty advanced metal replacements... one being on the left top side of its face, right tail fin, the left wing and about the knee down from right front leg. I then took a better at the human to see that even he had his left entirely replaced, but his left arm was different from the ones from the dragon had and looked like it was literally alien level kind of tech.
  "Thank you Shiba..." He said the dragon as he was placed next to me, to which having I think who was Shiba say back to him "Not a problem." before going off somewhere again. The human actually looked pretty messed up with countless upon countless of scars being visible on him, he actually looked worse than even what I thought was possible for one to be... He then looked over to me and said "Well... I'll go ahead and introduce myself. My name is Destroid, but Des is the shorter and more commonplace version to go by use if you so choose to use." Destroid said to me with a somewhat weak smile, to which I sat there for a second.
  "The name is so familiar..." I thought as I was now back in shock of what I was just hearing, "How is it possible that he has that exact technical name that I do?! The name and they way it's spelled is pretty unique, so how is it possible that someone else here has that exactly...?". As if he could read my mind/processor, he then said "I'm assuming that your questioning on how you and I have the same name...? Well, the answer for that is pretty simple..." he said with a pause before saying with a small chuckle "I'm just a different version of you.". "As in... from a different dimension or something?" I asked trying to make sure that I had the right idea, to which he responded with "It is similar to those lines." with a nod. He then looked passed me, to which I looked over as well to see that Shiba had came back with a tea pot, tea cups, and... crumpets? "Things seem to just get more and more odd with every passing minute that I am here..." I thought as I saw Shiba setting up everything up in a orderly manner, to which it seemed that it was like a small picnic at this point. Shiba then placed Destroid next to her so he could have some form of support before putting her head down to relax, to which I then asked him while pointing at Shiba behind him "I'm guessing that is your dragon...?". He gave a short laugh while saying "I can't say that Shiba is "my" dragon, for I don't really own her, but I can say we have known each other for a real long time..." as he looked back at Shiba, who was seemingly asleep, with a smile before looking back at me.
  "Riveting..." I noted as I sat there for a second,
"What had you acquire all of the scars? I've seen more than many unfavorable cases, but you seem to somehow got it even worse than they did several times over...".

  He had a long pause after I had asked to the question, but he eventually saying somewhat quietly while shaking his head "Trust me... you really wouldn't want to know. Take it from a alternate version of yourself..." with his both of his eyes being entirely black except for his left iris, to which that was now glowing a cold ice blue. I didn't know it was, but it felt like the entire atmosphere around us had changed right after his eyes had done so... and it wasn't even like it was like a menacing or even uneasy tone, but more of a sadder feel... "But I will say that the "person" who had been doing this to me is gone and has been gone for some time, so you don't really have to worry about that happening anymore at least..." He sighed as his eyes changed back to normal along with the atmosphere around us changing back as well. "Anyways... I think that is enough about myself. How about you go ahead talk about yourself and where you are from. I heard from Shiba that she had found you by the beach pretty badly damaged not too far off from the cove... So it would be really interesting to know how you ended up here in your condition." He said as he slowly grabbed, sipped, and set his tea back down before then looking back it me with a glint of shining curiosity and the small smile reappearing on his face. What move would I have to make here...?
