The Transformers The New Generation!

Back in action, but it's not in a preferable way.

Everyone is awakened to the light blasting through the entrance of their room. Epsilon rubs his eyes, not being used to waking up so harshly this early in the morning. All the autobots march out of the room. Outside the room is a stone wall, the Dicepticons direct the Autobots to start digging in the direction they were facing. And so, the autobots start digging, with their fists and hands, no tools, no equipment, just them and their hands. The rest of the autobots are digging causally, but being new to this, Epsilon struggles. Not only to dig, but also to get used to using his new parts. Epsilon looks around, and see's the Autobot trooper he got his new parts from. That trooper looks overall defeated, weakly pecking away at the stones with the stubs of his hands. Epsilon walks over to the trooper, and starts digging in his place.

Hagan: "what are ya doin?" he rudely whispers to Epsilon "just leave me to die... it's not like ya'll need me or anything"

Epsilon: "as Optimus once said, all sentient life is important... i think"

Hagan: "the hell you on about? Optimus cant help us here... he cant help us now"

Epsilon: "can't help us now? Where is he?"

Hagan: "he's gone missing 20 or so years ago, after that... we all went to hell"

Epsilon: "oh... hmm" Epsilon stops digging, and thinks. Epsilon begins to start digging again "just cuz he's gone doesn't mean we should give up"

Hagan: "yeah, that's what the last guy said. Then he died"

Epsilon: "huh... welp... I'll try to make sure it's a different story!"

Hagan: "yeah? What about the rest of us?"

Epsilon: "i'll make sure i don't lose any of you along the way"

Hagan: "oh yeah? How are you gonna make sure about that?"

Epsilon: "oh it's simple! I got your parts!"

Hagan: "what's that supposed to do for you?"

Epsilon: "with your parts, and my stubbornness, i can save us all" the Hagan gives him a confused look "i'll think of something, don't worry"

Hagan: "yeah... sure..." he puts effort into digging with his stub "you should probably go back to your spot, they'll get mad at you if you don't"

Epsilon: "i got your parts, which means i gotta do majority of your job, AND mine"

Hagan looks up at Epsilon.

Hagan: "do you... do you practice Optimus' preachings?"

Epsilon: "he preaches? I'm just trying to make friends with as many people as i can!"

Hagan: "damn... you won't survive long in this world"

Epsilon: "I will if I'm careful" Epsilon and Hagan start digging together "so... what's your serial code?"

Hagan: "20020821-15-114561"

Epsilon: "good to know, do you have a name?"

Hagan: "a name? Pshh... don't be ridiculous, i'm not important enough to have a name"

Epsilon: "you guys don't have names?"

Hagan: "nah... don't bother coming up with one... i might be gone soon"

Epsilon: "damn..."

Epsilon and Hagan continue digging, once they get far enough, Epsilon begins to dig on his side of the wall, but only comes in to a 1/4th of what he and the Trooper got through before the Dicepticons ordered the Autobots to return to their room. But before they are escorted to their room, Epsilon manages to nag a type of rag from the minecart, the minecart is filled with various pieces of materials.

All the Autobots enter the dark room, their meals are given to all inside, and the door is closed. Everyone inside eats their meals quietly, and begin their quiet chatter once more. Epsilon, with his poor night vision, spots the group of Ground Troops. Epsilon looks down at Cypher, who is massaging his hand, while wincing in pain. Epsilon looks back up, towards the group of Ground Troops, and approaches them. The group of Ground Troops look back at Epsilon, some in disgust, and pay him no mind.

Epsilon: "hey, uhhmm... where's trooper number... 20020821-15-114561?"

Ground Troop 2: "he's right here" he motions to Hagan "what do you want?"

Epsilon: "can i approach him?"

Hagan: "go right ahead" he sits up "what do ya need ol' chap?"

The other Ground Troopers look back and forth in confusion, not knowing how a mere Ground Troop became friends with a special class Autobot.

Epsilon approaches the Hagan, and kneels. He takes out the rag he stole from before, grabbed a piece of flint he dug up, and lit the rag on fire using his own energon as fuel. All Autobots in the room look on in confusion, Epsilon sets the burning rag down in front of Hagan, Epsilon takes a knee.

Epsilon: "reading your serial code, your 'birthday' was TODAY!"

Everyone in the room looks around in surprise and shock.

Epsilon: "Now allow us to do a human tradition, in celebration of your birth" he stands up and motions to everybody "allow us to sing the birthday song for you, everybody ready?"

The Ground Troops look at each other, and nod.

Everyone: "happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~ happy birthday to-" everyone quiets down in confusion, not knowing what his name is.

Epsilon: "Happy Birthday to Hagan!"

Hagan perks up in surprise to finally have a name to go by

Everyone: "happy birthday to you!"

Everyone quietly cheers for Hagan.

Epsilon: "Go on Hagan, make a wish"

Hagan sits there quietly for a moment, and stuffs out the fire with his stub

Everyone cheers quietly after the fire dies out.

Ground Trooper 3: "whaddya wish for 'Hagan'?"

Hagan: "honestly, i just wanna see the Earth's sun again"

Epsilon will remember that.

Epsilon: "don't worry Hagan, ill make sure you do"

Hagan: "don't bother, but... thank you... thank you for giving me this moment" Hagan tears up slightly "thank you"

Epsilon: Epsilon puts his shoulder around Hagan "no problem, i'm just doing what a good man would do"
