re_alignment | 001

[You know how usually someone wakes at the altar of the temple they’re at, confused about their location? Not this one. Yeah, apparently he’s one of the few who actually listen to the acolytes. There's no sense in repeating what seemed to be a firm answer, so he'll just roll with the punches. There's a click of the video feed as it shows Metalhawk's face, a bit intrigued by the new addition of the Link.

With the glisten of Prima's temple in the background.]

I’m alive.

[He honestly couldn’t believe it. He felt the gun hit his body, the energy hitting his spark and causing immeasurable pain. By all accounts, he should be more than dead right now. He won’t even remark on his missing arm. It doesn’t matter right now.]

So this is not some form of the afterlife, but rather an alternate version of Cybertron. And from the looks of it, rather primitive.

Bumblebee, are you there? Any of the Unaligned?

[And then, his voice lowers, almost dangerously.]

And Starscream. If you’re there, I seek council with you as well.

Apparently. Prowl's here too. And I have spoken to a Starscream but it's not the Starscream we know.

[Space-time stuff. Slagging annoying if you ask him.]

This...Where are you? Which Firstforged are you aligned with?

...Wonderful.

[It's like robot Christmas came early.

But at the question, he takes a look at his shoulder--the one with the missing limb--and at the white insignia blazed across it.]

I was told Prima, although I'm not too fond of being categorized on my arrival.

[Bee..can't help but wince a bit, knowing this isn't going to end well.

At all.

But hey, no reason to dwell at the moment.]

You're the same as me then.

[He turns slightly to show off his own glyph.]

Are you at the temple right now?

[He won't question it. After all, a familiar face is one you don't want to get upset at the moment. Especially in an unfamiliar land.

At the question though, he gives a firm nod.]

I can't exactly go anywhere unless on foot. Did you want to rendezvous?

Yes, I think that might be a good idea. I can come to you if you want.

That'd be appreciated, Bumblebee. I'm by the entrance to Prima's.

[A one armed bird with a giant hole in his side shouldn't be too hard to find, right?]

[Bee gives a nod then the feed is cut and he heads outside, managing to maneuver his way through the temple until he finds the exit.

He spots Metalhawk fairly quickly and can't help but relax a bit, a pleased sort of air about him as he approaches.]

Sorry I took so long. This place..is really weird.

Tell me about it...

[It brings dead bots back to life, you don't have to convince him. But there's a soft smile, extending his one free hand out to the Autobot.]

It's good to see you again, Bumblebee. Under better circumstances than last.

[Bee can't help but offer a faint smile in return, reaching out to take the offered hand and giving it a shake.]

It's good to see you too, Metalhawk.

[He didn't think he'd ever see you again, to be honest.]

So what do you know about this place? How worried do I need to be?

[Boy is that the million dollar question. That smile soon fades, getting a look around before he starts to walk.]

Our glyphs--they show our alignment to a FirstForged. Basically, a Cybertronian god, even greater than a Titan.

They can change colour and form, depending on our actions, or our reactions to things.

...

And it seems that some of your friends have already made an impact here.

[Bee doesn't hesitate to follow, falling in beside the other as they walk.]

A God...I'm really not sure what to think about that. This whole alignment thing, I mean. And what does it mean if they change?

[A frown as he glances up at the other.]

So I'm hearing. What were you told, though?

I'm with you, Bumblebee. This alignment stuff seems like a bomb waiting to go off. What if there are conflicts between them? Wouldn't it be easier to just unite under one?

[What an echo this is. But at that question, he goes from a grim expression to one of almost!happiness]

...

Bumblebee, the Lost Light crew. They're alive!

[He'll start with that

Edited 2014-01-08 22:57 (UTC)

It would be but that would be too easy.

[He shakes his head a bit, grip tightening on his cane before the happiness--well, almost happiness--on Metalhawk's face catches him by surprise.]

I was told! I...it....I'm glad, you have no idea. I feel a thousand times better than I did before.

You always say that...

[And he has yet to admit how true it is. Deep down he knows it's not that easy, but still...

it could be.]

!!

I'm glad, Bumblebee. It seems that Rodimus has some tricks up his proverbial sleeve.
