The lake was quiet, something Dionesea was always grateful for although she noticed quite a bit of absence on the lake lately. There were no humans lost or hovering nearby, she missed their company. She decided to take a walk being careful not to disturb any more creatures, the lake at dusk was quite beautiful, apart from feeling the wind between her wings. Night flights were among her favorite things to do, until she began to see a glow nearby in the forest, causing her to transform into her bipedal form.
Dionesea looked around as she hid in the trees, she thought there was some camping human that had strayed off course again, she approached the area only the sound of crickets and her footsteps could be heard. She pushed the trees aside very carefully to see what that blue glow was, then she saw some rather familiar blue crystals, she hadn't seen them in a while since she left Cybertron a few years ago.
"Energon but… it's been cycles since I've seen it raw… There's quite a lot of it" thought Dionesea taking some energon in her servos.
Then she started to hear footsteps approaching, she decided to hide, she transformed into her alt form and hid with her wings in the darkness. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Dionsea used night vision to see who was approaching and the years she had stayed on Earth she couldn't believe what she was seeing
Another Cybertronian…
It was large, red and blue with a unique figure. Dionesea admitted that there was attractive also did not know if it was friend or foe… He saw that the cybertronian was inspecting the pieces of energon.
-Ratchet, I have found an energon depot, we will have reserves for the base - said the cybertronian until the static came up and the coverage in those parts was not the best.
That's why Dionesea stayed there, no one could find her, she also felt partly surprised because he knew that voice since a long time ago. Could it be Orion? His Orion Pax? But she also didn't want to risk a Shockwave plan to bring her back to those painful experiments or he was giving her cruel treatment by being by her side. She again felt her memories returning in her mind to those moments in the….
Him hearing her melody and her dedicating the song.
She had to get away from there so she moved carefully and flew away to return to the hidden place of her lake. It couldn't be Orion, it sure as hell wasn't Orion either she didn't know if he had survived or the ravages of war.
She needed to calm down a bit so she began to sing a little low a melody that always reminded her of home, her gang with her accompanying her, everyone enjoying getting away from their troubles, feeling like she saw him in the audience….
Just the melody and them…
Dionesea?
Then she awoke from her trance to see that the voice of that cybertronian that reminded her so much of Orion was entering her secret place was in front of her.
In front of her new form…
She felt his optics judging her, as if he was just as surprised as she was to see her.
"It couldn't be real, it wasn't real, it wasn't him" thought Dionesea at a speed totally quickly.
- You are functional… I heard your voice, I ran here….
Then Dionesea started to laugh little by little until she started to laugh louder and louder to puzzle that big bot quite a bit.
-You can't be him… Is this some Shockwave trick? Or is this all an illusion and he appears in the middle of the lab? - she said as she stood up causing the cybertronian to be surprised at the sheer size of it.
-Dionesea… I…
-You are not him, you are not him - she began to say several times while the cybertronian slowly approached her.
-We met at Iacon, you started to sing and I started to talk to you about Cybertron's history. I was helping you to be unique - said the Cybertronian making her surprised.
-Are you Orion?
-Now they call me Optimus Prime, the leader of the autobots," said Optimus as he offered her a servo and she grabbed the servo with some force causing him to wince in pain for a moment.
-Sorry, did they make you the new Prime? When I heard about the Decepticon attack I had to leave here, I went looking for you but an explosion hit me and I ended up a product of Shockwave's experiments. It changed my body, several things I still don't know - said Dionesea.
-I looked for you for years I thought I had lost you. I didn't remember you were so big
-You have grown too, although not as much as I am now - said Dionesea making Optimus smile a little.
-You haven't changed a bit, Dionesea… Ah," said Optimus as Dionsea picked him up and hugged him close to her sparkle tightly.
-Ori… you don't know how much I missed you. This time tell me everything… If you leave me again I'll leave you as food for the Scrapheads, do you understand me? - Dionesea said as Optimus nodded.
-Understood… Dionesea, now come with me I will take you to the autobot base. I'll let Ratchet check you out so we can see what to do," said Optimus as Dionesea set him down.
They talked for a while about everything that had happened until she took him out of the jamming. Of everything that had happened when he had become a Prime, Megatron had become the Decepticon leader. And that Cybertron had become a sterile wasteland.
On the other hand Dionesea commented on the parts of Shockwave while she was half conscious, experiments with other Cybertronians not just her… Something about a special project and the current project had him as a star plan. Little else she found out until she seized a moment to get the time to escape. Then it was time to finally get to the lake where she was on Earth living in the wild and help the little creatures.
-You help humans? That sounds like something memorable to me. Come Ratchet has already prepared our coordinates. Tell me more," said Optimus, offering to let her in.
Dionesea entered with Optimus, after so many years she was finally going home with other cybertronians and some humans.
She was excited to finally not be alone. But the war part she would have to think about it a lot.
What Dionesea herself did not know was that the tests of the Shockwave experiment were soon to work.
