The Unexpected Prime (On Hiatus and Editing)

Chapter 21+22

Each day I struggle through the way my destiny was designed but for now I have to practice walking again. I sometimes try to contact Knockout when no one is around, but to eventually get no reply. I wonder each day of how he's doing, to think that he's in danger. I pray to Primus that he will be safe for the time that I am away, for in hope that we will be together again. 'Oh Knockout, for wherever you are in the skies, just I hope that you are safe from the wrath of Lord Megatron.'

As time passed, my strength returns day after day. After each day I train by myself to strengthen my shifting at a faster pace while in battle because even not on the battlefield it takes about a minute to shift from one form to another. It is very exhausting and takes too much energy for even two shifts per hour. It gets annoying once you notice it and trying to improve it each day but you don't know how. 

After each day of training, I climb up to the roof of the base again and just sit and watch the horizon before the sun sets. I hear rock crumbling away near the edge of the cliff, I turn to face the unknown climber with my long eared audio receptors perked. I see a servo grab a hold to the ledge, to my surprise it was Optimus who was climbing the mountain as I.

He lifted himself from the side, Optimus walks over and sits beside me and he too looked toward the horizon. His legs gangling over the edge, we just sat in awe of the magnificent sunset. 

"Silver, how would you like me to train you? Since I've seen you every day in the recreation room training by yourself. Practicing and improving your shifting every second of the day." remarked Optimus not leaving his focus off the sky.

"Y-you watch m-me everyday, w-wow, that would be....amazing. Yes I would like for you to train me Optimus." I smiled excitedly. 

"It has been eons that we've been friends, even before the matrix was bestowed upon me. You were always by my side, even alongside Megatron before the war you were loyal to him and I. You have never once deserted us in the past or even since now."his voice was sweet and calm as optimus gazed toward the mixed sky.

"I was and still glad that I never turned away from your friendship and goals, all three of us had the same goal to reach: to restore balance among our people." i replied turning my view up to his glistening optics.

"We shall begin training tomorrow outside the base, before sunrise." he requested. 

"Alright Optimus, see you then" I nodded acknowledging his designated order.

I stood up and jumped, optimus bolted up from his position over the ledge surprised and terrified. I free falled for a second until shifting into my predacon form, I swirled upward in the air gaining height. I glided across the sky and faced the horizon that Optimus was not just looking at, but beyond the reaches of what he saw of my fate. 'I will not lose to the chaos bringer that ruined my life for the years to come, not now....Not Ever!!!!!!'

The next day came, I woke up from my little corner and ran towards the tunnel. The doors slid open as I approached the exit, it was still dark outside, 'Looks like I made it before Optimus did.' Since it was still dark out, my optics had not focused to see that Optimus was in the distance. I adjusted and to see that I had made it late. Optimus was just sitting there peacefully on a large rock starring up at the fading stars above waiting for me.

"Sorry if I had taken too long Optimus." I spoke out, optimus dropped his gaze to my form watching him. 

"Well to begin with, continue improving and increasing your shifting reflectives." advised optimus.
