Chapter 16.
* * * *
Morning came faster than expected, I opened my eyes to see myself in the break room on the couch. I yawned and sat up, stretching out. I'm glad I can turn back to a human, I CAN WEAR CLOTHES AGAIN! It was getting light outside so I can assume that it's morning. But even after a peaceful nights sleep, I still feel tired. Oh boy, it may be one of my days where I sense something in the world. Question is, what happened?
Before I could think of it, Blue poked her head into the break room. She came in and squabbled, putting her head under my now human hand. I smiled and pet her, able to feel her scaly skin once again. With metal hands, you don't really feel much under your fingers. I got up with a yawn and she chirped excitedly.
"I wonder how the Predacons are doing. Predaking should be fine, but Darksteel and Skylynx...I hope those two aren't getting into trouble..." I said to her.
Blue squawked and trotted out of the room, I followed behind her. Nobody else was around, not even Springtrap or Bendy. The raptor trotted towards the exit, pushing through the doors and headed outside. I followed and came outside as well to see the two younger male Predacons in beast mode sleeping soundly next to each other, those two are like brothers I swear. I looked and saw Predaking in dragon mode sleeping a good distance away from them, laying in a wide open patch of grass.
"Hey Blue, wanna go see Predaking?" I whisper.
She nodded her head with a quiet chirp, I nod and we start sneaking off towards the large Predacon. Predaking already knows I can turn human, so he hopefully won't be surprised. And he seemed to be okay with Blue around, so this shouldn't be too bad. The King remained asleep while we cautiously walked up to his sleeping form, his breathing slow and relaxed. Blue looked to me, squabbling and snorting quietly.
I go and place a hand on the beasts snout, his head at least 3 times my human size. The smooth metal beneath my hand shifted as he stirred, his golden optics slowly opened.
"Good morning, Preda." I whispered.
Predaking saw me, his optics widening as he lifted his head up and looked down at me curiously. A coo came from him as he tilted his large dragon head, Blue squawking and jumped up and down.
"What? Weren't expecting to see me in my human form?" I teased.
Predaking then lowered his head to my level, cooing once again. He looked happy to see me, which is rather nice. He transformed into his bot form and kneeled down to look at Blue and I.
"So this is what you look like as a human." He said.
I nodded, "Mhm. Was born looking like this, only then I was smaller and looked much younger."
"I believe you." He said.
I don't know what it is about Predaking, but I have a very good feeling around him. Like he's one of my very best friends, it feels like he really understands me. Maybe my character being a Predacon is a good thing, it definitely gained us 3 huge allies. I still need to figure out how to make my 3 other friends into Cybertronians, the gems could easily do it but I don't know how it will affect them.
"I think I'm gonna take a walk later, so if I'm not here you'll know why." I tell him.
Predaking nodded and rose to his feet, noticing Skylynx and Darksteel getting to their metal paws with a yawn.
* * * *
I was walking through the trees, the birds chirping beautiful songs as I passed by. Just really needed some time alone, overwhelmed by everything going on around me. A nature walk is just what the doctor ordered. Being alone like this, your mind starts to swim with thoughts.
I thought about Optimus and Bumblebee, they're 2 really good friends and I don't want to see them dead or severely injured when we go to help them. The same with my family. Which reminds me, Springtrap and Bendy didn't tell me where they were held. Should really ask them when I go back.
I'm also relieved that they never got Blue, she's my best Raptor friend. And, she really helped me after I was shot. She didn't leave my side until Thanos found me, and not to mention how much she's helped me out. Bendy and Springtrap have as well. I wish there was something that I could do to make it up to them, something to show them that I truly appreciate what they've done.
I remembered Blue's honorary sisters, Delta, Charlie and Echo. I knew she missed them dearly every time she saw her reflection, she always looked sad whenever she saw herself. Perhaps with these gems, I could bring them back! The gems do allow me to do nearly impossible things, but I also don't want to play God. But then again...humans DID bring back the dinosaurs from extinction and created a brand new species. Indominus Rex, which was never supposed to exist unless God said so.
I look up at the sky and put my hands together, "God, forgive me for doing your job. And for killing the Indoraptor and Starscream, those were out of defense I swear. I just want to repay my friends, I won't do it anymore after this."
"Who are you speaking to?" I heard a familiar kind voice to my left.
Sitting on a rock sat the shadow animatronic rabbit of Primus, I turn my head to see him with his legs crossed, hands in his lap and his large white eye sockets closed. He seemed to be meditating, something I have tried and failed to understand. Primus opened one eye with a small smile, I just chuckled and rolled my eyes in a joking matter.
"You like to just show up at the most random times, don't you?" I teased.
"As I previously stated, I am always with you. I only appear when I decide to, and I am curious to ask whom you are speaking to." Primus uncrossed his legs and jumped off the rock.
"Well, I was talking to my God. Basically a human version of you. I'm not super religious, but I believe he is real." I say.
"So you say you have not met him?" Primus asks.
I shook my head.
"No, and I hope I don't meet him any time SOON. I wanna meet him when I'm around 90 years old and ready to die." I said.
"So this 'God' comes and retrieves humans when they are on the verge of death?" He asks.
"Well no...I believe once a human dies, they have 2 places to go. Heaven or hell. Heaven is a place of eternal peace and the only true Utopia for good people, Hell is exactly what it's called, HELL. Hell is where the evil people go and suffer for all eternity, that's Satan's domain. But then again, these are only my beliefs with what I was taught. It's different with other people, some believe while some don't." I explain.
"Quite interesting. So why were you asking him to forgive him for you doing his job?" He asks.
Huh, Primus is rather curious today isn't he? And curious of human religion at that, I sighed.
"I want to repay my friends, and I require the gems in order to do some of those debts." I say.
"Oh? What are you planning?" He asks.
"Just watch." I say and close my eyes.
I take a deep breath and began to focus. Delta Charlie and Echo, Delta Charlie and Echo, Delta Charlie and Echo. I repeated their names and recalled their appearances in my head, keeping them fresh in thought. Please bring them back, for Blue's sake. She misses them dearly and I don't want her to feel alone. I could hear the sounds of familiar squabbles and chirping, but they also sounded different. I opened my eyes to see Blue's 3 honorary sister laying upon the ground, each of them getting up and shaking their heads.
"Delta, Charlie and Echo! It worked!" I said happily.
That caused Charlie to glance at me, her dark red eyes widening slightly. She squinted, beared her sharp teeth and faced me with a growl. I raised an eyebrow at her as Echo and Delta then did the same, Blue never behaved like this towards me. She was scared at first, but that was because she was shot by that Kent or Ken Wheatley. And when I pet her she calmed down at my touch, but these 3 aren't scared at all.
They're hungry, and they don't know me like they knew Owen. The 3 sisters slowly stepped towards us.
"Youngling, they don't appear to be friendly like your first raptor friend." Primus stated.
"Yeah I'm starting to see that." I took a step back.
Echo then launched at me with a shrill screech, clawed extended. I rolled out of her way as she would've landed on me if I had stayed put, then it was Charlie's turn. She ran at me with her mouth gaping open, the only thing I could do was get out of her way as well. I don't want to hurt any of these raptors, they mean too much to Blue. If I shifted into the Indoraptor, they'd all attack me at once and I'd lose for sure. Delta barely missed me as she came running right past me, I got up and put some distance in between us four. Or five couhnting Primus.
"Girls! I'm not your enemy, or your food!" I held up my arms like Owen did.
Echo on my left, Delta on the right, Charlie dead ahead in front of me. Just like in the raptor scene in the beginning of Jurassic World, only a recreation in Avengers. Endgame I think. Charlie hissed and squawked loudly at me, not her sisters. As if to say "Ha! Yeah right!" I'm rather far from Avengers Headquarters, so I doubt that even Predaking could hear.
"I'm friends with Blue! You know Blue, she's your sister!" I exclaimed.
The raptors then tensed at the mention of Blue's name, stopping dead in their tracks.
"It's true, she's one of my best friends-" I began.
I was interrupted by a loud shrill cry coming from the trees, it caught all of our attention. Just then, Blue came launching out from the trees and landed in front of me. She hissed loudly at her sisters, which seemed to surprise them. Blue then realized who they were and her red reptile eyes widened. She squabbled softly at the 3 raptors before her, and they responded with chirps and cooes. I sighed of relief at how they were communicating and that it was peaceful.
"That was almost a disaster, not one of my better ideas to do it alone." I looked to Primus.
"No it was not, but I honor how you accept your mistakes." He said kindly.
"Well I mean, nobody's perfect." I point out.
"Very true." Primus watched the raptors.
Blue communicated with her sisters and glanced back at me while squabbling and chirping, Delta Charlie and Echo looked at me as well. My raptor friend then turned back to them and continued her conversation, I believed Blue was telling them that I was no threat or anything to eat. Which I GREATLY appreciate.
Once Blue finished talking to them, she came up to me and nudged my fleshy hand. Ah there's the "pet me" signal. I began to pet her head and Blue then let out a snort. The 3 revived raptors looked baffled at how her and I got along so well, then Blue squawked at them. Then Echo slowly approached me, Delta and Charlie were still hesitant. I held my hand out for Echo to smell it, she approached my hand and took a few sniffs. I could feel her hot breath on my hand, I kept calm at the fact she could easily attack me.
But she didn't, Echo put her muzzle into the palm of my head and closed her eyes. Now that was unexpected. Delta was the next to come over, she sniffed my shirt and snorted as she nudged my stomach. I grunted as she nudged rather hard, but then I laughed as she then went behind me and placed her head on my shoulder. Charlie stayed where she was, I smiled at her.
"It's okay, Charlie." I assured her.
The striped raptor then cautiously approached, hissing. Blue snapped her jaw at Charlie, telling her to back off the attitude. Charlie squabbled and snorted in annoyance as she was now right in front of us. She only looked at me with a blank stare, not knowing what to do. I removed my hand from Blue and held it out like I did Echo for her to sniff. But Charlie only looked at my hand, then back to me.
"Well go ahead, I won't bite." I tease.
Charlie tilted her head, confused at my tone. I just sighed and waited for the raptor to sniff my hand. She then took a slow step forward, sniffing my hand. I felt myself light up with joy as the raptor had finally gained the courage to at least sniff my hand. Then she lifted her head and set it in the palm of my hand, I smiled with wide eyes. The striped raptor looked at me, her nostrils flaring with each breath she took.
"Good girl." I whispered.
I then looked to the shadow of Primus.
"When I'm old, I won't be the 'Crazy Cat Lady'. I'll be the Crazy Raptor Lady!" I say.
Primus chuckled as he then vanished into thin air.
