Prime Presentation

[Akadeanna Hawk]

Flowerdancer led Orion towards the Ark, telling him things as they walked chuckling as she noted that he even walked like Optimus had. She gave a curt nod at Bumblebee once they had reached where the others were, and she leads Orion to where Ironhide stood holding the Matrix still in it's glass holder and the Sword. Once there she turns to face her no their family and says, "I know many of you have only read of this, but today we are doing what the ancients before us called a Prime Presentation, many of you like me have met Orion in the Archives in the Weyr, today I have brought him here to be presented before our former Prime Optimus' Knight Of Cybertron Sword and his Matrix; he acts so much like Optimus, it was time he was presented."

[kamith]

Bee scurried over to his mates to wait for what he hoped was what he hoped. That Orion Pax was Optimus Prime. Orion followed Flowerdancer forward towards Ironhide but though he walked like a leader, he was still a little nervous inside. A young female scout stood next to Bee. "Do you really think he is Optimus, Bee?" Bee nods. "Absolutely. Look how he walks. Look how he presents himself. Only one who is Optimus would hold himself like that, Sparkle." Sparkplug and Spike were there as well and Spike says, "This is a very important day for you guys, isn't it Bee?" Bee nods. "Yes, it is. If we are right, we will have our true leader back."

[Akadeanna Hawk]

Flowerdancer knew gathered only 5 of them had actually seen a real presentation herself and the 4 Kings who flanked Ironhide, she could tell he was still nervous about this even without using her telepathic and empathic abilities. She then turns around and looks at Ironhide and nods and the black Mech opens the glass container and Flowerdancer gently picks up the Matrix and then takes the sword gently that was still in its sheath.

She then turns to Orion and says holding them out just slightly, “Matrix of Optimus Prime and Knight Of Cybertron Sword of Optimus Prime, I present to you the first Mech; please show us if this Orion Pax is yours.” The Matrix in her right servo remained silent for a bit before starting to vibrate and lifted off her right servo and flew closer to Orion and started spinning frantically in front of his Chestplates.

[kamith]

Orion stood still as the Matrix moved to him and he felt the powers flowing towards him. He opens his Chestplates to allow it inside. Once it went into him, he started to glow and to grow. Opening his eyes he says, "I am Optimus Prime leader of the Autobots Ark team. I have returned to lead you once again against our known enemy the Decepticons." He reaches out his hand for his sword and it flew to his hand.

A screechy voice came from overhead. "How touching. So the mighty Optimus has returned. This will make Megatron most happy, if I don't destroy Optimus first. Seekers attack!" A large group of Seekers started to attack the group below. Optimus says, "I'll handle Starscream Flowerdancer. You others take care of the rest. I don't want him contacting Megatron."

[Akadeanna Hawk]

Flowerdancer waited patiently as she felt the Matrix feeling for its Prime in Orion and her optics lit up as it reacted as she had a feeling it would. She watches it integrate into him again and smiles as his form changed nodding in approval at the Semi-Truck look on him was perfect. She moves closer and hugs him and says, “Welcome back old friend.” As his look changed she felt the burn again in her Human form as the Protoform on her Human back took the Semi-Truck look.

Flowerdancer had let Optimus go from the hug when Starscream showed up and she growls and she says, “All right Sweet-Spark, be safe.” She looks to her Flier types and says, “Fliers rise up lets show them not to crash our reunion!” She watches her Seekers and Fliers and Sweeps leap into the air, her ground base preparing if any ground base appeared; Flowerdancer launches powerfully after her men and started the attack.

[kamith]

Optimus hugs her back. "It's great to be back Flowerdancer." The others came over to welcome their leader back. Sparkle was kinda in the back of the group and she shoves bots out of her way and throws some of them out of her path as well. Some grumbled and she yelled, "That's my father. I have the right to greet him first. So shut up." She finally runs to her father and hugs him. "I'm glad you are with us again father." Optimus hugs his daughter. "Sparkle. You have grown strong since I last saw you in the 4th cycle."

Optimus nods. "I will and you take care too. You know how bad he can be." Starscream flies over Optimus and says, "Hey you big brute. Why not try and catch me? Your brother can't ever catch me so what makes you think you can?" Optimus growls at Starscream's words. "I'll tear out your voicevox if you mention that name again, Screamie."

[Akadeanna Hawk]

Flowerdancer smiles and says, “I hope you like your disguise I picked it myself, I thought it would look best on you.” She gave a slight growl as well as she could see Sparkle fighting to get to Optimus, the last batch in front of Sparkle parted quickly. She smiles and says, “You will be very proud of her watching her fight Optimus she’s very strong.”

She smiles and says, “Of course Optimus. He’s only gotten worse since Skywarp and Thundercracker retrined to me we are a Quatern now actually.” Before anything more could be said between Starscream and Optimus a blue rip appeared above the tri-colored Seeker and a Steel-Blue and Silver Seeker dropped out of it and lands right on Starscream with a loud groan, blue Autobot markings were gracing his wings.

[kamith]

Optimus nods. "I can believe that he has since Skywarp and Thundercracker retrined to you. That's good that you 3 are." Starscream swears when something landed on him and he says, "Get off me. Get off me or you'll be sorry." He went into a spiral to try and knock off whatever had landed on him. He wanted to get to Optimus right now. He sent out an alert to Nemesis for others.

[Akadeanna Hawk]

Flowerdancer sighs and says, “They hated his treatment of them, so they chose me. Skyfire is our 4th, Skywarp is my Wingsecond and Thundercracker is my Wingthird.” The Seeker on Starscream’s back didn’t move as he was unconscious, but during the spiral he did slip off him, but to everyone’s shock who hadn’t seen he was unconscious he didn’t catch himself only continued to fall.

[kamith]

Optimus smiles. "I'm glad to hear that they are." Optimus saw the Seeker slip from Starscream's back and he leaps up and catches the falling Seeker. As he lands, he looks at the figure in his servos and gasps. "Ratchet. Get over here quick. It's Moonstar. By Primus I thought he was gone for sure." Ratchet rushes over. "Flowerdancer you better join me. He maybe really hurt bad." Optimus laid his bondmate gently on the ground and wouldn't let anybody but Flowerdancer and Ratchet and Sparkle near him.

[Akadeanna Hawk]

Flowerdancer smiles and says, “They have been a great asset to our family Optimus, Skywarp almost lost his life to protect Ratchet from Megatron once.” Moonstar shifts in Optimus grip, but not like he was trying to get away from him, but trying to get closer to him. Flowerdancer heard the call as well and leaves Thundercracker in charge as she flew back to where Optimus was. She lands near Optimus and stares at the Seeker and she says, “The missing of the 13,” she pauses and blinks and says, “Shard it he’s been in the Dimension Of Darkness. I saw what happened the memories from after you were killed fighting Unicron! A rip was formed in the dimensional barrier! It drew him in before his death and he woke up in the Nemesis of the Dimension Of Darkness!”

[kamith]

Optimus nods. "I'm glad to hear that, Flowerdancer. Oh, really? I didn't know that. But that sounds like my brother." Optimus held his bondmate closer to him. "Easy now love. You are safe at home again." He nods. "I know. And my bondmate as you well remember." He gasps. "So that's where he's been all this time. That was a horrible battle. Most of us lost our sparks that day. The Dimension of Darkness? Is it like our dimension or flipped as you have said in the past that several are flipped from our dimension?"

[Akadeanna Hawk]

Akadeanna nods and says, “Yes really. Now you know that. He’s only gotten worse.” Moonstar relaxes hearing his Bondmate's voice. Flowerdancer nods and says, “Yes you told me about that.” She nods and says, “That’s what I’m getting from his thoughts, I only used my abilities to try and find out where he has been. Yes I know, I remember you showing me through our telepathic connection when I was trying to learn about it. Yes including the one whose Matrix I now hold. Yes it is a flipped Dimension us Autobots there are evil and Decepticons are the good guys; those of us who are good Primes there are called Gold Striped Primes. I spoke of the Dimension that is our Black Gated Half before,” she pauses and traces her fingers delicately over Moonstar’s right wing and says, “That’s where he has been.”

[kamith]

Optimus nods. "I'm glad to know that. Yes, now I know. That's not good to hear that." Optimus nods. "I remember." He nods. "I understand that and you know I've been worried sick about him in the past when I thought he had died on me. I remember that too. I didn't know that. Yes, I remember from the past you mentioning flipped dimensions. I see. That is flipped from here. I see. I remember you mentioning that black gated dimension before." He nods. "So that's where he's been all this time. I won't lose him again."

Suddenly the sky turned pitch black and day turned to night suddenly. Suddenly gold lightning bolts shot across the sky and thunder shook the ground. This power was none that had ever been felt in the heavens, the other planets or other dimensions. This was what looked like at first the start of a very nasty storm.

[Akadeanna Hawk]

Flowerdancer nods she was checking the king as she spoke and says, “Yeah I know Optimus. Now you know that. I’m glad you do Optimus, if I wasn’t a Dimensional Guardian I would never know that. Yes it is. I’m not surprised you remember me mentioning that Black Gated Dimension before.” She nods and says, “Yes it’s where he’s been all this time, I recognize from my travels the images from his memories, especially the white Seeker he was fighting to protect another when he was sent home. No you won’t.”

The female Seeker shivers at the feelings and she looks at Stinger her eyes shifting the King nods and barks, “Everyone inside quickly!” The other 3 kings quickly started ushering the others into the Ark; Starlight snatching up the humans who were there for this.

[kamith]

Optimus nods. "Yes, now I know that. Of course I do. That is true Flowerdancer. Of course I remember you mentioning that. By the way, have they woke up yet?" He said that with a growl. He remembered what Prince Endymion had done to him in the 4th cycle when he was in his human form. He nods. "It's good to finally know where he's been all this time. A white Seeker? Well has to be from that dimension then as we have no white seekers here."

Finally a form slams down to the ground. This was a very large Prototype of which had never been seen before. This one was pure gold in color. Then a second one landed just one step behind what appeared to be the leader. This one was pure silver in color. Then the third showed up and it was pure black in color. The 4th was bronze in color and the 5th was the color of the rainbow. The leader steps forward. "I am Shake but my men call me Leader One. Next is Rattle or Leader 2. Then you have Roll, or wingman 1. The 4th is Thunder or wingman 2. The last is Lightning or Wingman 3. We come from the last planet beyond the Great Barrier. We seek a place called Cybertron as our records mention something of beings like myself and my men. Be this that planet?" He spoke in a harsh voice.

[Akadeanna Hawk]

Flowerdancer nods and says, “I’m glad you do,” she pauses and flinches at his tone realizing he remembered what Endymion had done to him and she says, “No they haven’t woken up yet; only the 6 who never woke up evil are awake. You probably remember from being Orion what I said happened to me when he did that.” She nods and says, “Yes it is, and his sword’s still at his side safe and sound. Yes a white Seeker,” she pauses and nods to the retreating tri-colored Seeker and she says, “His counterpart here just called retreat; the Dimension Of Darkness Starscream is as white as snow. We did once Optimus when I was 15, I remember from my time in Vos Medical.”

Flowerdancer straightened up, her Vosian Princess Robes flowing around her at her swift movement, the 4 kings also finally returning, but shockingly not in their disguises anymore. Flowerdancer went to move, but instead Stinger and his Quaterne mates move between her and Optimus; Stinger spoke and he says, “Been too long Shake. No you are just one planet off this is the Human planet called Pern.”

[kamith]

Shake bows to Stinger and so does his men. "Far too long Stinger. Oh, we missed it by one planet? Ah, so that is what this place is called. Seems homey to me. Valdas has become depleted of Energon and we need a new planet to call home. You and the others spoke to us of Cybertron, that is why we were headed there. But would Pern accept 5 new bots? and how many are there now?"

[Akadeanna Hawk]

Stinger smiles and says, “Yes just by one. Yes that’s what this world is called. Glad you think so, as long as you don’t mind Dragons. Yeah I heard you were getting low. I’m glad you remember us speaking of Cybertron before.” He glances at Flowerdancer who was by Moonstar and he says, “It’s ok these guys are friendlies.” Flowerdancer moves closer to Stinger and she says, “I am Flowerdancer Prime; we have currently 98 Autobots and about 60 Decepticons. There is always room for more.”

[kamith]

Shake smiles. "Ah well nobody's perfect I guess. Not even us. I see. Of course I do. Dragons? What are dragons? Yes, we were getting very low. Of course we remember you mentioning it to us." Shake smiles. "A pleasure Flowerdancer. A Prime? What is that? We are unfamiliar with that term. I am Shake or Leader One." Then he introduced his other men. "So there are 98 Autobots and about 60 Decepticons? Speaking for myself and my men, we prefer the Autobots as I can tell you are friends with the Vos Kings." Then the 5 shifted into the forms they had chosen before leaving their home for the last time.

[Akadeanna Hawk]

Stinger laughs and says, “That’s true. Oh they are one of the sentient organic type creatures who live here they live and work with the humans. That was the last time I heard from you, don’t worry there is plenty of Energon here thanks to a race called the Maquis from the first planet where you 5 come from.” Flowerdancer looks at Stinger and says, “Well if I remember what Stinger told me it’s like Leader for you; we are the top leaders of the Autobots. Stinger has spoken of you to me before.” She nods and says, “Yes 98 Autobots and about 60 Decepticons; of the Autobots there are 30 who are of the Ark team under Optimus,” she pauses and nods at the young Prime with Moonstar and says, “the Mech there, there are 30 who serve twins Stardancer and Stargazer; 30 Sweeps; and the last 8 are Sparklings, Seekerlets, and Sweepcubs. You are welcome in our family. Yes I am, I am a Princess myself as I am Quaterne Leader of Prince Skywarp and Prince Thundercracker as well as Prince Skyfire. I also just learned today the first King Moonstar is alive.” She smiles watching them take their forms; but as she did a Gold Dragon with a man sitting astride her landed near Flowerdancer.

The female Prime places her hand on the Dragon’s head and says, “To your question about what Dragons are Shake this is Rinth she is one, she is considered a Queen Dragon.” She kneels down and asks, “What’s up Wesley?” Wesley says, “Helios sent me to find out if everything is ok; everything went dark.” Flowerdancer smiles and says, “Yeah everything’s fine tell him Shake, Rattle, Roll, Thunder And Lightning just arrived from Valdas.” Wesley nods and he looks at Shake and says, “On behalf of the Dragonriders of Pern I welcome you and your men.”

[kamith]

Shake was shocked seeing Rinth. "So this is a dragon? and her name is Rinth? And a queen dragon? That is something. We have a lot to learn about humans and dragons and stuff I guess. The Creators didn't leave us information on other species except our own kind." Shake nods to Wesley and says, "I am Shake and on behalf of my men and myself I accept your welcome, Wesley." His men went to the gold dragon to get a better look at her.

[Akadeanna Hawk]

Flowerdancer nods and says, “Yes this is a Dragon and her name is Rinth; Wesley is the name of the man sitting astride her and he is her Rider. Yes a Queen Dragon, she’s considered a Gold for obvious reasons. Wesley is the best to teach you, as he teaches those who are newly bonded to Dragons about being full riders. That’s ok you’ll have plenty to teach you.” Wesley smiles and says, “I’m glad to finally meet you and your men.” Rinth held still letting the group check her out, Wesley did too so they could see how he was on her securely. The Gold looks at Shake and says You’re quite handsome if I do say so myself Shake. Her eyes were whirling in a calm manner. Flowerdancer moved back to Optimus and Moonstar and starts checking his vitals again and she looks at Optimus and says, “He’s in a normal recharge now Optimus.”
