Ch. 3

The crystal was placed inside the energon storage room, the most secure room in the base. It was placed on a pedestal above the other energon cases.

Three days had passed since the Autobots recent discovery, but the crystal still showed no signs of if what was inside was ready to come out. Optimus and Ratchet check up on it from time to time, Ratchet being the most frequent. Taking constant notes for any possible changes. The crystal still continued to brighten and dim like a heartbeat, the faint sound of its hum was heard easily in the storage room and its dead silence. However the leader and medic of the team were not the only ones that paid visits to the crystal. Smokescreen, with his natural curiosity, snuck into the room only to see it for a few moments. He was fascinated with this crystal. Never had his mind been so keen on one object in his whole life.

His visit this night however was special.

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but he did not believe it would kill an Autobot. When he peered inside the crystal he could see the female form that had everyone on edge. If she were out, he would have believed that she was no bigger than Miko. Despite her being in a fetal position, she could see her slim form. She looked so petite, so fragile, but her kind did fight during the war on Cybertron, so they must be stronger than they look. Especially with the powers that Optimus described.

“For someone that’s known to be great and powerful, you look so harmless.” He said quietly while gazing at the crystal in thought.

Unconsciously his servo went to touch the crystal’s surface. The moment his palm felt its cold and slender touch, a wave of light and energy passed over from the crystal to him. He jumped back in surprise but watched as the wave went up his arm and thinned out only to vanish once it went past his shoulder. He could suddenly feel the fresh energy from the crystal. It was invigorating, he felt as if he could take on a whole fleet of decepticons at once. He gave a soft laugh at this new feeling and looked back to crystal that gave him this gift.

“If this is what comes from just touching this crystal, I can’t wait to see what you can do.” He looked at the girl inside with a thoughtful smile.

The crystal began to pulse again, but Smokescreen took no notice as his optics remained on the girl, but he noticed something odd.

He could see the energon inside moving slowly around the girl. Her waist length hair swayed every so lightly at the motion. And there was a change in her position as well. Instead of hugging her legs, her hands were cupped to her chest as if she was holding something precious to her. A white light began to emit from it. Her hands loosened and the light floated from away from her. Smokescreen watched in awe with wide optics as the small orb of light phased through the crystal and stopped in front of him. He suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his arm… the one that touched the crystal. He could see his energon veins glowing bright blue, he looked back to the orb to see it had become the same color.

Not sure of what to do, he slowly lifted his glowing arm with the palm of his servo facing upwards. The orb gently floated into his grasp. He brought it closer to his face and looked at it in wonder. Its bright crystal blue glow became stronger and suddenly he could hear something in his mind… a voice… a beautiful female voice.

“My Autobot friend, I thank you and your team for finding me and bringing me to your home. I have peered into your spark the way you have peered at me through my crystal cocoon, and I know that you are truly a good soul. Your team is pure and your friendships’ are strong, and I have seen that the last of the Primes is among you. My time for freedom will be here very soon, I can promise that, and with our strength united, I know we can defeat the Decepticons. I look forward to our meeting young Smokescreen, but until then, this is where we shall part ways.”

Smokescreen felt like he weighed two tons heavier than Bulkhead. He kneeled down and felt completely exhausted. The blue orb that was once in his servo was now gone, and his arm had stopped glowing. He looked to the crystal to see it still retained its glow and pulse. After a moment he found his strength again and rose to his full height.

“Wow… that must have been what it felt like when Optimus received that message from Alpha Trion… I just hope what you said was right.”

Smokescreen left the room, but turned back to look at the crystal. If he couldn’t wait before, he defiantly didn’t wait to wait now.
