When All Lights Go Out I (TFP)

Hey readers! I'm back from my week long break, and feeling well rested. I am very excited to get back to writing again, and I know you are all itching to read some more chapters. Don't worry, you don't have to wait too long.

Several days pass by and Azura fully recovered from her illness. Optimus was extremely happy about this as she was back to herself very quickly, and she began to play with Bumblebee, Bulkhead and the kids with renewed energy. It was wonderful to see. Optimus did decide to see if she could control her new breath abilities, and she was able to after Ratchet approved it from assessing the metal burn in her throat. It healed quickly, and when she breathed fire again, it seemed her body had created a protective layer to prevent further damage to her internal body, which was great, as Azura certainly did not want to endure pain whenever she breathed fire.

And as she learned how to use her breath abilities, aside from regular fire, she learned she could change the intensity and heat of her fire breath. Meaning, she could breath white, blue and violet fire, which were hotter than the regular red and orange fire, and Azura felt the heat change when she figured that out. And while she had felt the heat intensity, she felt no discomfort, and she was very happy about that. It was just a matter of learning to control her breaths, as using them when she wasn't intending to could be dangerous.

Aside from fire, Azura could also breathe streams of ice, cold and boiling water, extremely hot steam, lightning and plasma, though Azura did wonder if she could mix the elements a bit, as that would be interesting. But she would not do that, in case that would be a bad idea. She at least had control over these breaths, and she could use them if she was in a situation where she was forced to use her breaths as self-defence.

At the moment, Azura was with Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Miko and Rafael on an island. Ratchet had given the okay for Azura to be able to play in the sand at a beach, so Bulkhead and Bumblebee brought her to an island, with Miko and Rafael accompanying them. Jack was unable to, as he had to work on the weekend, and Optimus has allowed Bulkhead and Bumblebee to take Azura. Bumblebee and Bulkhead have not found themselves in situations where they would make bad decisions like Arcee had done, and the two took time to find an island just for this occasion, so they were not at any risk of any human or decepticon interaction.

Azura and Bumblebee were in the shallow part of the bay of the island, and Azura was standing on some rocks while she and Bee were splashing water playfully at each other. Bumblebee was taking care to not splash so much water at the sparkling, due to knowing she would probably get knocked off the rocks into the water, but they were still having a lot of fun. Especially as she had started it by splashing Bee at his face while she was showing him some starfish.

Bulkhead was watching the two play while Raf and Miko were chasing each other on the beach. They both were having a good time too, and he was happy. But Bulkhead knew to keep a close eye on everything, and their surroundings, just in case their island trip was interrupted. He didn't think any human would, but the decepticons could, and someone needed to be aware of their surroundings while everyone else was having a good time.

Azura squealed as she splashed Bumblebee, and he was surprised when she had found some kelp floating in the water nearby, and now his arms and face had kelp stuck to his arm. She giggled at him as Bee picked some of the kelp from his face. "Just one of many things that get moved around the ocean due to the currents." Bumblebee looked at her and flicked water at her. She giggled at him as she looked around at the water. "Kelp is actually good to eat too. Not every person likes kelp, but it is good for you."

Bumblebee was surprised and looked at the kelp on his arms. "Humans really eat this stuff?" She nodded affirmatively. Bee looked at the kelp curiously and looked back at her. "Did you like kelp? Or was it something you never tried?"
