When All Lights Go Out I (TFP)

Sore. Very sore. That is how Azura felt as she woke up from her recharge slowly. Azura did not dream when she fell unconscious the night before, but her memory was plagued with the scraplets and the fear of her father freezing to death. And she didn't like that they could have died without officially bonding. But Azura knew she had only just accepted him as her dad. However, a lot changed that day. Not only did Jack, Miko and Raf find our her identity and who her father is, but she also lost the outer membrane around her body. Azura hasn't fully realized that as she was so out of it the day before, but she cannot go back to school again, and she would have to remain on the base.

She opened her optics slowly, finding herself in her berth with the blanket over her body. She saw the plush toys around her and she moved her hand to grab one, only to notice her hand. She gasped as she saw her protoform for the first time. And she didn't realize that she was a light silver, but she didn't know if that was significant. However, as she moved to sit up, her stomach and back ached. She grimaced and whimpered a little, looking down. She saw that around her chest and stomach she had a basic covering on. That was no doubt to protect her systems, but something must have been eaten by the scraplets if she was still feeling pain. And in her leg too.

She placed her hand to her face and felt the smooth, soft metal cheeks. She touched her lips to find that she had thin, metal lips. She didn't know how she even looked in the mirror. She touched the top of her head, and she was relieved that she still had her hair. It still felt soft and velvety, which she was happy with. She had feared that she would have lost it. As she ran her hand down her neck, she felt the necklace chain and looked down. She was glad that the crystal was unscathed. She grabbed it and held it in her palms, staring at it curiously and wondering if she could now transform into a dragon.

I might be getting ahead of myself.

She looked at the plushies again before moved to crawl over to the stairs. Even though she was feeling pain, she was still able to move around. She carefully climbed down the stairs from the berth. Even though she looked completely as a proper Cybertronian, she still needed to use the bathroom. She didn't particularly mind as she didn't know if that was ever going to change. She reached the ground and glanced over to the fish tanks. She smiled as she knew that the fish are not going to care too much about her appearance, such as they will still want their food.

She sighed and made her way to the bathroom. She had no rush today as it was Sunday, but she also knew that she wouldn't have to rush in the morning again. She had no school to go to anymore. She still had no idea how to feel about that yet. It was really just so surreal at the moment. But she was certain it was going to hit her very soon.

When she reached the bathroom, she walked over to the toilet and sat on it. She rests her elbow on her knee as she thought about everything. She looked at her hands again, trying to get used to her real appearance. She wished that she was dreaming, but she knew she was not. Still, she knew that the silver of her protoform likely came from Megatron.

Once she finished using the toilet and wiped herself, she flushed the toilet and walked over to the mirror in her room and looked at herself. She widened her optics as she saw the blue in her optics was a little lighter than Optimus's, and she smiled as she didn't mind that at her. Her face shape was like Optimus's and she had a similar body shape, except her shoulders, they seemed to be differently shaped. She wasn't sure though, in case Optimus's protoform looked like that underneath his coverings.

Still, she did know that Megatron had curved shoulders, her protoform seemed to have that. It just felt like another reminder of who her sire is. She turned to the side to look at her back, and she swore she could see spikes. They were flatten against her spine, and she knew this would be from the dragon. She knew her hair was definitely from the dragon as well. She didn't know if any Cybertronian even had hair like hers. Regardless, she was still unsure about her appearance.
