Transformers Prime Memory Of The Heart

The peaceful black night sky was covered with hundreds of gleaming stars,and a single point of light was moving quickly between them. At first it looked like a dot, no bigger than any other star,but then it seemed to grow larger as it moved closer and closer towards the Earth. It picked up speed as it disappeared behind the moon,flew out from the other side and then plunged into the atmosphere.

It left a long trail of smoke behind as it hurtled across the sky,down to the planet's surface.

It screeched loudly past a snow-covered mountain and a dark green forest,lightning up the trees as it went. It flew lower before landing in a deafening boom. Trees were thrown aside and the object carved a long,muddy trench into the ground as it shuddered to a halt landing on a remote part of the northern United States.

The object in question was sleek and metallic, and it smoked gently in the cold air of the night. It had landed a long way from any towns,so there was no one around to hear the low hum of what sounded like a engine deep inside. There was no one around to hear the whirring of a small ramp descending from the base of the ship to the forest floor. And there was no one around to hear the tip-tap of metal feet as something nasty scuttled down the ramp and disappeared into the night... The silhouette stopped for a moment to gaze at the sight of this brand new world she has just arrived in.

"Ah,a brand new place,how perfect... An opportunity to prowl in the wild again, what more could a lady of my caliber ask?". The silhouette whispered in delight,as she walked near two trees,sheathed her blades and grazed them onto the tree trunks to verify their sharpness, satisfied to see them leaving marks,she then proceeded to walk deeper into the woods with one clear motive on her mind.

The next day, Arcee, Jack and Edelgard who was above a tree whereas the duo were walking through the forest,unware of the events of the previous evening. The air was chilly, drafty and thick with bugs.

Jack Darby was a sixteen-year-old boy with slick black hair and a friendly face. A few months ago he'd been just a regular kid with a part-time job in a drive-thru restaurant. Then one day he had sat on what he thought was a regular motorbike, only to discover it was actually an Autobot disguised in vehicle mode. Since that day he had been on many adventures with Arcee, but he still felt like he was being treated as someone who needed to be protected rather than as a partner. He wanted to be thought of as a real member of their team!

So when Arcee had asked Jack to come on a 'routine recon' mission, he'd jumped at the chance. Now, as he swatted at several mosquitoes, he was starting to regret it.

"I really wish I'd packed some insect repellent," he complained as he was swatting the noisy bug left and right trying to squash it.

Arcee didn't react. She was walking a short distance ahead, pushing on through the undergrowth of the forest with a determined look on her face. Jack caught up with her as she stopped to check her hand-held scanner. She was using it to search for Energon, the blue crystals of fuel that she and her Autobot friends used as a power source, lifeblood and main source of nutrition. She studied the scanner for a moment with her shining blue and pink optics, before carrying onwards.

Jack squished yet another mosquito onto his forearm and followed. "The mosquitoes out here are the size of vampire bats, and they drink just about as much blood!" 

Panting as he kept trying to hit the blood draining bug, Edelgard above them just shook her head in annoyance due to his lack of complaints and refusal to practice adaptation in this forestial territory, she then shifted her focus into gazing ahead on the environment.

Arcee looked down at him." You're quite the outdoors man kind of guy, aren't you, Jack?" she said with a smile.

"You wouldn't be making fun of my survival kit, would you?"Jack shot back jokingly.
