Transformers: Destinies in Shadows

[Skitty Cat]

A song drifted on the wind, she was quite good in that department. Long silver hair danced in the breeze, a spark of laughter dancing in her sapphire-violet pools. Jumping from the stand, she was quite hyper after the upbeat she had gotten just got done winning. "Tamashii!" Whipping around to face the person, her 'bangs' fell in front of her face. Smirking, she recgonized the brunette to be Sara.

"Yes Sara?" She purred, tauntingly.

Growling in annoyance, the sky blue-eyed seventeen-year-old spat, "Don't get cucky, wench. I just wanted to say for you being a freak your an excellent singer." Knowing that this took so much from the older female to say, she smirked satisfed that she had something the girl didn't have. Her pale blue t-shirt fit her quite nicely and matched her beaten up blue jeans. Turning away, she dashed off to class.

This is great, it's the first day of school and I've got language! She thought, she was pretty good with language but stunk when it came to math. She knew she was different from the girl she use to be. Tamashii was much more independent and wild but now her free-will seems to have faded, glancing up to see her language and math teachers she frowned.

"Umm, Ms. Mizu and River, I'm not feeling that great.... I think I'm going to be skipping rest of today."

Knowing that River knew why, she spun around and began to collect her things from her locker. She listened as Ms. Mizu questioned, "Why aren't you feeling well?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Tamashii didn't feel like explaining to her math teacher. "It's nothing against you, it's just that I'm running a slight fever and I'm feeling under the weather."

"The girl tells the truth, Mizu."

No one ever doubted Ms. River, she was respected by many of the students and teachers; even the principal and vice-principal respected her! Not many could do that, but then again River was an excellent teacher. Tamashii had been living with her since the fire ravenged her home stealing her family. "I wonder if there was any suvivors.... probably not."

"Go home and get some rest; you need it."

Dipping her head in respect she fled from the corrdior and nearly bumped into Melody. Spinning to the side she exclaimed, "I'm sorry!"

"Whelp." the silvery-blue-haired young woman snapped, annoyed.

Glaring at her with cold-hearted eyes, Melody stalked off not even speaking to her.

Shaking herself she fled out of the school. Stopping the fifteen-year-old cringed at the bitter insult, knowing it wasn't the worst Melody could say. Sighing, she picked up her bag from the ground since she had dropped it upon leaving. Why have the dreams become more and more fierce?

~- Cybertron -~

Warriors fell around her as Decepticlones, Decepticons; Preidcons, Maximals, Autobots and Omnicons (sp?) engaged in combat. "Fall back!" She screeched, feeling something next to her giving her courage; but she knew this was a fight they couldn't win..... not here at least. Her blue-violet eyes sparkled with guilt for something.

"Are you sure Lady?" queried an Autobot rookie, nodding her head she watched as her warriors fell back. She wasn't quite sure where Armaggeddon was at the time being, Ladybug just silently prayed he was okay wherever he may be. Turning tail with her soilders, she listened as one of the enemy forces jeered,

"Running like the little cowards you are, huh?"

Whipping around at this blaster in hand. She aimed one well placed shot at the warrior, firing she snapped, "There you go!"

The Autobot leader swiftly fled as Chorta joined her, seeing that enraged glint in those pale gold eyes, she said soothingly, "Don't worry Chorta, we are going to be regaining that ground; I promise." She noted small nod in acknewledgement, which didn't surprise the young fembot. Looking down she realized just how alike the two were in a sense.

Shaking her head dismissing the thought, she skid to a hault and ordered, "Go to the Ark II or Animus, take your pick, but get out of here!" Ladybug regertfully watched as Chorta fled without protest even thought she didn't fancy the idea. As soon as the young tigress was out of the way she summoned both her blaster and dagger.

I've got to hold them off for a little while..... if only for a few moments. She thought. She spun around facing her pursuers, she let loose a few rounds before something caught her eye.......

~-------------~

OOC: The rp has begun! Yesh, I did it the way I did for two reasons: 1. I'm leaving it open for someone if they choses to pick up there. 2. Because that's all I can think of. Time to get some sleep, 'Night!

[KurtZisa]

ooc: OK time to do the first post....

Death and destruction raged upon the once peaceful land as the 3rd cybertronian war took place in a very unexpected turn of events. With the decepticon forces on the upper hand, it is a matter of flinches before they emerge victorious on the war.

Xenos' battalion pushed forward as more and more reinforcements continue to flow in to their advantage. "Don't let them escape...." sneered the decepticon titan as he commanded his troops to intercept the fleeing autobot forces. "You can't hide from me Ladybug! I will hunt you down." Xenos unleashed a primal roar and transformed into his monstrous Kaiju form. He opened his jaws, revealing his twin-barreled masers and fired upon their trail.

Carnage and destruction trailed behind Xenos as he continue to pursue his primary target with his battalion covering his back. He unfolded his genocider cannons and aimed carefully at Ladybug. "say goodnight, autobot!" the tip of his genociders blazed and fired 2 projectiles directly at Ladybug.

[Eternal Dream]

She could feel the all too familiar heat of battle singing her fur as Sky Blizzard raked her claws through another Predicon rookie. Looking up, the tigress let out a thunderous battle roar, daring a challenger. Though the laser fire continued to be exchanged, it seemed that none were willing to pick up the guantlet.

Realizing that they were losing ground, Blizzard roared, "Maximals, fall back to the Axalon! Ladybug has already called the Autobots and there's no point in continuing a lost battle; all that will come of it will be needless casualties."

"say goodnight, autobot!"

Reacting insticntlivly, the tigress jumped in front of the shot, activating her shield as she went. While she felt the first slam into her left hind-leg, she heard the other whine away as it ricotched off the shield. Glaring at Xenos, the she-cat growled, "Goodnight, decepti-scum!"

Flipping into her robot form, the Maximal leader fired off a volly of quick shots at Xenos, all the while keeping half an eye on the two factions as they raced for the Ark and the Axolon. As soon as everyone was on board......

~- Earth! -~

She was four again. Laughing, the young girl caught the woman's hand as she giggled, "Come on, it's time for bed! You promised you'd sing that song tonight; come on, Mommy!"

The little girl's happienes was infectious. Laughing along with her, her mother climbed the stairs with the child, their long, silver-white hair swaying behind them.

Climbing into her pj's, the child gave her mother another hug. A bright light in her golden eyes, the woman said softly, "Now climb in bed, Mirror, or no song."

Squeaking slgihtly, the young girl jumped in bed and pulled the covers close. Looking up at her mother, she whispered softly, "Now?"

Nodding her head, she closed her eyes. Then, taking a deep breath, she began in a soft, lilting tone,

Dramur skies fura antone,
Recth to touch, numar the diaon stars.
Dramur-spik to the anchiant ones,
Esk for tracuer through dramurs;
So I may sik the Drakon Dramur skies again.

Her eyes closing, Mirror felt her mother kiss her forehead. Trying to supress an exhausted yawn, the little girl muttered, "G'night, Mommy."

Drifting off, she barely heard the woman whisper, "Goodnight, my little dragonette."

Slowly, the dream shifted. Now she was seven, and tears were coursing down her pale face. She wanted to understand; she tried to understand, but the bitter sense of betrayl still tore at her heart as Mirror whimpered, "Why, Mommy? I thought... I thought you loved me!"

Her own cheeks wet, her mother replied, "I... I'm sorry, Mirror; but it's for your own safety. There's bad things coming, little one; very evil things that would hurt you if you stay with me. I'm sorry, my dragonette, but it's the only way."

Turning off the ingnition, the woman climbed out of the car. But the little girl wouldn't have any of it. Screaming, she threw herself from the Ford Mustang and started to run; but her mother quickly caught her. Scratching at her arms, Mirror tried her hardest to get away from her; but stopped when she felt something wet hitting her hair.

"Mirror, please; try to understand. I don't want to do this; I just don't have any choice. They're looking for me; I had hoped that, after so long, they would have given up; would have thought I was dead. But they know the truth; they know I didn't die when I came here. But what they don't know about is you, my dragonette; they don't know that you exist. You're our only hope, Mirror; you're the only one who can save us. But you can't do that if you're dead; and you will be if they find you. So please, be a good little girl, and stay here. I promise I'll come back for you when it's safe; but you have to stay here for now."

Turing in her mother's arms, Mirror gave her the strongest hug she could muster. Not wanting to see her mother cry, the little silverette choked through her own tears, "I'll be good, I promise; I'll stay here, Mommy." She didn't know what her mom was talking about, but if it would make her happy, then she would stay at the orphanage.

It was like a film was waiting to play. Once more she was runing through the forest, following an elusive feeling that was always just ahead of her. Moving deeper into the heart of the forest, she was soon surounded by trees so thick and tall that it was like she was standing in an early twilight, even though it was just after noon.

As she knew it would happen, she came to the clearing. Shielding her eyes for a moment against the bright light, she looked around at the overgrown area. But as always, there was never anyone there. Growling slightly, she spat, "Come on already! Why dream about this place if there's nothing here?"

"But there is, child," a soft voice called.

Spinning around, her eyes growing wider, she watched with awe and fear as a large wolf stepped forward. She knew that wolves were fearsome predators, but she couldn't believe the haunting beauty of the canine that stood before her. She could tell that this creature was old, her fur was white tipped in silver, giving her the look of shining water when she moved. But what held her spell bound the most was the eyes; the most unusual eyes she had ever seen; the wolf had eyes that were entirely white except for it's pupils, giving it an almost specteral and mysterious qualitly.

Finding her voice, she asked in a small whisper, "W-who...?"

"Who I am is not importent," the wolf said in a gentle way, "But who you are. I have been waiting for you a long time."

Her courage coming back from the wof's gentle tone, she asked in a stronger voice, "Waiting for me? Why would anyone do that?"

"Come to the clearing, and everything will be explained. You have a special Destiny, as do you're friends."

Laughing slightly at that, she said bitterly, "You're looking for the wrong person, then. I don't have any friends; no one wants to be friends with a witch."

A gentle smile on her face, the wolf said as the clearing faded away, "Is it because of your magic, or because you won't let yourself have friends? Do you think they would leave once they discovered what you can do, so is that why you shun them, Mirror?"

"Wait!" she cried, bolting upright. Looking around, she half expected to see the glade; but only the familiar sights of her room met her eye.

Shaking her head slightly, Mirror swung her legs over the side of the bed as she stared out the open window. A frown drawing her brow together, confusion crossed her golden eyes as she whispered softly, "But what does it all mean? Why hasn't mom come back yet?"

"Mirror?"

Dragging her eyes away from the window, the girl looked instead toward the open doorway. Seeing one of the other girls that lived at the orphanage, Mirror replied, "What is it, Lilly?"

Placing her school bag down, the raven haired girl replied, "I just wanted to see if you were okay. After all, you didn't go to school today because of that fever, so I just wanted to check on you."

Nodding her head, the whitenette replied, "Yeah, I'm fine, Lilly. It was nice of you to ask." Even though a brief, tiny spark of hope flared in her chest, it was quickly crushed as the other girl returned Mirror's nod and walked off. Supressing a frustrated sigh, she turned troubled gold pools out the window and whispered, "Yeah right, dream wolf. How can my friends and I have a special destiny when I don't have a single friend to my name?"

~-----------------~

OOC: That's it for me; and happy birthday, Kitty!

[Dragonstar1715]

OOC: First Post!

Earth:

Draco woke up from a long night's sleep, looking out the window, the scenery was not much different from any other day. Draco thought about a dream... a dream he had dreamt the night before.

He was lying in pain in a grassy field of sorts, looking at the sight of a mansion burning with fury. He felt himself calling for someone, but he couldn't hear that one word. Then looking to the right of him, he saw several individuals approach him. One restrained him as several others went looking for what seemed to be the other people from the house that was on fire. "Let go of me!" Draco yelled as he flailed his body around, trying to break free, "I'm sorry Draco, but this is for your own good..." the individual said as he knocked Draco out cold. As the darkness slowly came over him he whispered one thing: "Sister, I promise we'll meet again..."

"...Who is the person I made a promise too?" Draco wondered as he got out of bed and got dressed. Having breakfast, he went outside and drove to a school. He had just finished at that school recently so it wouldn't be weird for him to go back there, but the weird thing about the whole situation was that a strange force seemed to draw him there everyday. He would gaze as the kids there went outside for recess and be particularly drawn to one kid.

She seemed about 14 and wore a pale blue sheet and beaten up blue jeans. "Why do I feel so drawn to her?" Draco wondered as he kept looking at her, "It's in the back of my mind but... I don't know" Draco continued to whisper to himself.

Cybertron:

Armageddon was in a bit of a jam, he was trying to fight off the waves of decepticlones that came at him. Drawing his grenade launcher, he managed to blast the rest of them away. "Damn I better go and join the rest of the autobots if I'm gonna stand a chance here" Armageddon said to himself as he transformed as blasted off to where the rest of the Autobots were.

Arriving at the scene, he saw the his leader Ladybug in the midst of battle. Slashing in with his sword he said "Sorry I'm late, I got ambushed on the way here!". He saw two shots coming their way but Sky Blizzard managed to destroy them. Looking at the Decepticon who fired the shot, Armageddon took out his grenade launcher and fired three shots saying "Eat this Decepticon!"

OOC: Whew, my posts have gotten better since the last RP

[Skitty Cat]

OOC: Mild use of language, but why I'm telling you I'll never know.

IC: "say goodnight, autobot!"

Whipping around at this she groaned as she saw Xenos. Watching as Sky Blizzard and Armageddon joined the fray; she waited until the shield was down and fired a round. "G'night!" She snarled, her blue-violet eyes flashing a dangerous warning. Glancing at the fleeing forms of the soliders and the two next to her, Ladybug was grateful for their help.

"Thanks Blizzard and Armageddon." She whispered.

~- Earth -~

She was lost in her thoughts to the point she didn't even register the orphan's home. Dragging herself from the past, she glanced over to see a car. "Shit!" she screamed. Jumping to the side, it barely nicked her ankle; causing her to land ungracefully on her side. Growling, she glared at the young man in the car who appeared to be nineteen.

"Watch it!" She snapped. Angered by everyone today, she just wasn't having any luck today at all, she knew she shouldn't have snapped at him..... but he had nearly it her! Glancing at the doorway as one of the older girls dashed out and blurted,

"Are you two okay? I heard the noise from inside at the counter."

Nodding her head, Tamashii mumbled, "Yeah, as good as it's been when you've nearly been hit."

~-------------~

OOC: Short, oh well, and time for either Dream, Dragon or both to pick up from here.

[KurtZisa]

IC:

Xenos was hit directly by the countershots of the fleeing autobots. Disoriented temporarily, he took the momentum to transform back in his fearsome robot form and powered up his slipspace module.

As he fell in his knees, he disappeared all of a sudden in front of his enemies and reappeared behind them standing tall and unscathed. He then swiped Armageddon launchin him in the air and finally grabbing his leg and slamming his body unto the steel debris beneath him. As he turned to the Maximal leader, he again transferred his colossal physical body behind her and quickly retracted his arm buster-cannon and fired it without warning unto Sky Blizzard in point-blank range. "Hmhmhm....how feeble." He tilted his head and locked on Ladybug.

But before he could initiate a brutal blow to her, Jazz came out of nowhere and shot the titan directly at his left optical receptor. "What are you waiting for commander? the others are waiting for you in the launch bay! I'll handle things from here!" out of the smoke, a colossal hand suddenly grabbed Jazz and pulled him into the smoke, it was Xenos, in his Kaiju form. Laser blasts can be heard from the thick smoke then suddenly a loud crunching sound boomed from the smoke. Few seconds later, Jazz's severed head flew off in front of his comrades. Xenos stepped out of the smoked and stepped on Jazz's head, crushing it under his weight.

[Omega Prime]

OOC: Umm, a little bit sick don't you say, KZ?

IC: He stared around at the other warriors, he couldn't understand why everything was so chaotic. Glancing over toward a Decepti-clone, he frowned slightly until he spotted two Autobot warriors and a Maximal not too far away. Kage grabbed his rife and murmured, "Shut-it." before firing off two rounds destroying the creatures.

Watching the blue-violet eyed she-bot who seemed to be the leader as she snarled, "G'night!"

Snarling, he watched silently as Xenos did something horriblly wrong. Glaring at the Decepti-clones around him, he growled darkly, "Pick spot. Shut up. Wait." Unable to understand why, he felt this strong urge to move over and protect the young leader.

Kage glanced around at the soliders surrounded him, pushing him farther to him farther back toward a cliff. Dang it. Shaking his head he whispered, "Go away." Being jumped by the clones, he shrunk down low to the ground scared about what he would do to the warriors in the area.

No..... The silent cry echoed through his mind, Kage hung his head accepting his fate.

~----------~

OOC: Not as long as I wanted it, but it'll work.

[Dragonstar1715]

OOC: Language here

Earth:

Draco seemed in content at the moment as he stared the girl. He went off to go to work for the day and upon returning home, he was in a bit of a daze, but quickly snapped out of it as he saw himself racing towards a girl. "Oh shit!" Draco exclaimed as he swerved to the left out of the girl's way. "Uhhhhh..." Draco groaned as he hit his head on the dashboard, he stumbled out of the car, trying to regain focus. He vaguely saw the girl he almost hit and saw it was the girl he had drawn attention to earlier that day.

"Uhh, sorry bout that, I haven't been feeling well today" Draco said as he sat on the grass, still dizzy from the blow to the head that seemed to draw a bit of blood. "I'm gonna have to get that looked at" Draco thought.

OOC: Aw damn, Jazz got killed 6 posts into the RP!

[Eternal Dream]

Barely inclining her head at Ladybug's thank-you, Blizzard trained icy blue eyes on Xenos, her senses pricked for any trickery. But it still came as a surprise when the Decepticon's body phased out; a light growl rumbled in her throat as the image disintigrated. Tensing, she prepared for the onslaught she knew was coming as Xenos reappeared.

Even as he moved behind her for an attack, the Maximal was already reacting as the world seemed to go into slow motion. Feeling the barest brush of the blaster at her back, she shot into the air, just barely avoiding the discharge. Flipping herself behind the Decepticon, Blizzard transformed midflight, changing into the gracefull tigress that she was at heart. But she miss judged her force and momentum, so that she landed harder then intended; a painful jolt racing up her injured leg, Blizzard yowled, "Ladybug, Armageddon; get out of here! The Axolon and Ark are loaded; we have to move, now!"

Hoping to give the two Autobots a chance to escape, the feline lept toward Xenos, raking out 1 3/4" claws as her thuderous battle roar rent the air.

~- Earth! -~

"Oh shit!"

Having heard the squealing tires moments before the explosive oath, Mirror lept off her bed, her golden eyes flying to the window. Sure enough, she saw a silver haired girl sprawled on the curb; a darkly colored car just feet from her, with a trail of skid marks behind it.

Racing down to the front entrance of the orphan's home, Mirror saw Lilly kneeling by the other girl and asking her if she was okay. Unsure about if she should get closer, her indecision cleared as the younger girl snapped, "Yeah, as good as it's been when you've nearly been hit."

Lilly's dark eyes snapping fire, Mirror heard her retort hotly, "Well, you don't have to be so rude about it! I just wanted to know if you were okay!"

Her instincts as a peace keeper kicking in, Mirror stepped forward and bade softly, "Calm down, Lilly. I'm sure it's only because she's shaken; I don't think she really ment it."

Walking over, Mirror saw the guy that had been driving holding his head. Looking him up and down, she guessed that the black haired teen was not much older then her; a year at the most. Kneeling down beside him, the whitenette asked softly, "Hey, you okay? That cut on your head looks pretty nasty."

Even as she continued to examine the gash, Mirror felt the subtle change in the air as her magic gathered. Trying her hardest to supress it, she knew it was no use; it seemed that her abilities had a mind of their own when someone was hurt. With a will of it's own, her hand came to rest gently on the boy's forehead, a soft white aura surrounding it as the healing magic channled into the cut; within moments, there was a slight pinkish coloring around the area, then it vanished, leaving no indication that the skin had been broken at all.

Lowering her hand, Mirror placed it in her lap, her golden eyes downcast as she studied her fingers. Her voice barely more then a whisper, she sighed softly, "Well, I guess that answers my question."

Out of the corner of her eye, Mirror caught Lilly shaking her dark head as she sneered in contempt, "Huh. It's bad enough that you have to be a freak; but a freak that shows off what they can do? I'll never get you, Mirror."

Her gaze returning to her lap again, Mirror felt the tears pricking at her eyes while Lilly went back inside the orphanage. Holding back her misery, the whitenette managed in a soft tone, "I hope you guys are okay; but I really should be getting back inside."

~----------------~

OOC: whoever wants to, pick it up!

[Dragonstar1715]

The loss of blood from the cut was starting to make Draco very diizy and nauseous. He tried to get up but fell back down, then two girls approached the scene. Draco was still out of it, he had never almost, let alone hit someone "Dammit, these dreams of mine are starting to really make me lose focus on reality" Draco groaned as he continued to hold his head as he tried to reach for his phone.

Then a girl with white hair appraoched him "Hey, you okay? That cut on your head looks pretty nasty." the girl said. "Yeah, I'm fine, first car accident so I'm a bit stunned" Draco replied, just then a strange aura appeared around the girl. Draco by this time was feeling faint from the loss of blood, then the girl held her hand against the cut. After a few seconds, Draco suddenly felt better, feeling around his forehead, he noticed that the cut was completely gone.

"Thank you but... how did you do that?" Draco asked, but decided afterwards that maybe that wasn't the best question to ask.

[Skitty Cat]

Her hackles partically raising at the dark-haired girl's comment. She was about ready to lash out when a silverette said, "Calm down, Lilly. I'm sure it's only because she's shaken; I don't think she really ment it." Staring at the one who seemed to be the peace keeper of the two, she titled her head ever so slightly. Listening to the exchange in between the two girls, she listened as the boy asked, "Thank you but... how did you do that?"

Realizing who it was, she frowned thinking about the past. Shaking her head she snapped, "Dang it, will you please watch where you are driving!" Sighing, she sang in an a in a soft, lilting tone,

"Dramur skies fura antone,
Recth to touch, numar the diaon stars.
Dramur-spik to the anchiant ones,
Esk for tracuer through dramurs;
So I may sik the Drakon Dramur skies again."

Flushing she shuffled her feet, training her gaze on her shoes she mumbled, "Umm, I really, really should be going now."

[Dragonstar1715]

Draco looked at the girl that had healed her to the girl that he almost hit. Draco saw the girl give one of those looks that you usually give when you haven't seen someone in a long time. "This girl could she be..." Draco thought but was cut off by her saying "Dang it, will you please watch where you are driving!", "I'm sorry about that" Draco said in a solemn tone. "Thank you for what you did, I'll be right now" Draco said to the girl with white hair before he got back in his car and drove home.

Draco had yet another dream that night, but it was different to the one he usually had. He was standing in a forest with trees so high you couldn't see the sky, the scene was also covered in a thick veil of mist. "What is this?" Draco wondered as he scanned the scene, then out of the mist several figures appeared.

Two of them looked humanoid, but the rest were all giant sized about the size of the house he lived in. "Holy- WTF?!?" Draco exclaimed as he backed up a bit, then looking at the two human figures he could start to make out thier faces. "What the? Those are the two girls from today!" Draco said finally identifying them. Then all of a sudden he awoke, "These dreams... are they trying to tell me something?" Draco wondered as he got up and got ready for the day as it was one of his days off today.

~Cybertron~

Armageddon had just fired a shot at the decepticon and it hit hard "Ha! How'd you like that?" Aramgeddon said. The decepticon didn't reply and instead rushed at him and sent him flying in the air, "Argh!" Armgeddon yelled. The Decepticon then grabbed Armageddon by the leg and threw him toward the ground "Damn, gotta do something!" Armageddon said trying to find a way to save himself.

Armageddon suddenly got an idea and took out his shotgun, he fired at the ground to try and soften his landing, but he was still travelling at a high speed. Armageddon hit the ground with a loud 'CRASH!', "Ugggh..." Armageddon said as he tried to regain focus. He looked t his right leg and saw that it was severely damaged, "Oh this is just great!" Armagedddon complained. "Ladybug, Armageddon; get out of here! The Axolon and Ark are loaded; we have to move, now!" Blizzard said after landing hard after attacking the decepticon in question.

Armageddon tried to get up but the damage to his leg made him fall back down, "Leader get out of here! Now!" Armageddon yelled to Ladybug. "Damn! Is there anything I could use as crutches or something?" Armageddon said looking around, he then spied two metal bars that were about the right size for him. Dragging himself over he grabbed them and then bent them so they could be used as makeshift crutches. Getting up, the bars seemed to do it's job and Armageddon slowly made his way to the ships.

[Skitty Cat]

Tamashii wasn't quite to happy when the sun started going down, staring at the girl named Mirror she said swiftly, "Good-bye, and good night, Mirror." before she dashed down the sidewalk heading for the abandon mansion. Watching as it was lit by the twilit beams. She looked away as once more the cries filled her head from that fateful evening. Whimpering softly, she gazed at the woods where she would always play with her..... brother?

Longing to feel that feeling of freedom, she dashed across the yard heading for the pines. Reaching the border the silverette sighed, "It's so good to be back, now time to head home." It didn't take her long to reach the house in the woods surrounded by pines and oaks.

Walking inside, she slipped her shoes off as she stared at River, shaking her head, she whispered, "I'm sorry for being late, but I just can't go to school tomorrow, please forgive me." Heading up the stairs she listened as the Language teacher replied,

"Very well Tamashii and goodnight."

"G'night!" She whispered, dashing up the steps she was completely exaushted as she hit her bedroom door. Pushing open the portal, she stared around the icy-blue painted room and ice-blue bed. Stumbling over, she changed into her PJs before she climbed in and whispered, "Mom, dad, would you two be proud of me or ashamed?"

Closing her eyes it didn't take to long before sleep washed over her. Soon enough she was dreaming about something that wasn't even her memories.

(OOC: Please play: Never Ending Dream)

Staring through the crowded street, those hardened eyes glanced around. "Come on, we haven't got much time." Someone growled, looking around their hair only went to the nape of their neck. As their two friends looked at them with confusion, puzzled one of them asked,

"What are you talking about, Inferno?"

Shaking his head, the young man replied sternly, "Nothing, it's just that the war has to stop, one way or another." As a kid by the name of Sam went running past, Inferno knew what was going on more then ever. Since the kid was carring the All Spark.

As Inferno attacked one of the Decepticons, she watched from the sidelines as the fight unfolded.

As Sam went running past a Moutain Dew machine, she couldn't help but chanted, "Do the dew before the dew does you!"

Laughing at that, Hikari watched as a giant robot teared another one in half. Tears of rage coming to her eyes, she watched as Inferno and his friends began helping the Autobots. She felt her own rage amongst the three Biocons, shaking her head causing some of those stray violet locks to fall into her face. Using a fire spell, it attacked all the Decepticons in the area.

Racing with Inferno and the other two, she heard the other male tossed, "Illya you okay?" Seeing the female she heard Illya replied,

"Heck yeah Sabor!"

Looking at the three Biocons around her, she was surprised as she watched the fight in between Optimus and Megatron take place. As Optimus laid on the ground, looking at the boy she heard the Autobot leader mumbled,

"Insert the All Spark in my chest."

But they were all taken aback as Sam shoved it into Megatron's chest. Standing there, they watched as Megatron fell dead to the ground. Stunned Hikari almost missed Prime mumbled,

"I'm sorry brother."

Looking around Hikari watched as the other Autobots appeared, confused about everything until Inferno sighed and said in a distant voice, "Great, now I guess onto Drakos?" Nodding his head, Optimus replied to the Biocon,

"Yes Inferno, off to your home."

Completely confused Hikari listened as the Biocons talked, looking at Sam she silently walked over to him. Taking in his features, Hikari smiled softly as the scene began to fade around her. "I guess, this was different. But what did Optimus mean by brother?"

The scene changed....

Watching as the fire contiuned to rage, fear coming to her sapphire-violet eyes the child cried out, "Mom, dad, don't leave me!" She watched as someone came over reaching out their hand, the young woman looked at her a frown on her face.

"I'm sorry, but your folks didn't make it." The woman said gently, shaking her head the child shrieked in protest,

"No! You're lying!" Tears coming to her eyes the child raced down the street, the fire's rage and fury attacking the night sky. "I won't believe her! I won't believe anyone, not anymore!" She snarled. Falling she stared at the ground, scaping up her hands Tamashii didn't care. Her heart was torn, she didn't know what to think or feel.

The woman walked up to her again, reaching out her hand she stared at the child. "Listen, I don't want you to get hurt. So, we can go somewhere you feel safe... and wait until the fire is out. Would that make you feel better?" Knowing this lady as a friend of her mom's, she nodded her head as they walked off to the young woman's house.

Listening to the song that had started playing, she frowned as the lyrics hit her hard. The woman sat there watching as she stared into her cup, confused she asked softly holding back the pain, "Why are these lyrics hurting so bad?"

The woman closed her eyes scaring her, listening to the pain in them she frowned.

Drifting through the winds of time
Feeling warmth of sweet memories
You'll realize you're not all alone always
I'll be right here by your side

Don't be afraid, open the door to your heart you'll find
All the dreams that you believe it's waiting for you
Shining bright together we'll make it true

Looking up at the woman that was taking care of her, she frowned as she stared into those emerald green pools. "Hikari, I'm sorry about this...but I was told that if anything happened to your parents; you're to stay with me." The woman whispered, looking up at her cold fire came to her eyes. "So, are you telling me you wanted this to happen!"

Pulling back knowing what could happen, looking at the young girl she replied quickly, "No, I didn't want this too happen." Not wishing to believe it she stormed off to her room, locking the door behind her the ten year old looked around. Listening as the lyrics contiuned to come into her room, racing over to her bed she fell onto it knowing vey well that her true father had left her mom.

The scenery changed......

The twilit sky shimmered off of the snowy covered turf. She cooed excitedly, as the month old girl reached out at the crystalline snowflakes, desperately trying to catch it and failing. Pouting, she tried again, and giggled as a boy laughed, "Ha, look Tamashii's trying to catch the snow!"

Her bright, sapphire-violet eyes on the winter sky, Tamashii enjoyed her mother's arms as she made infant sounds of delight. Staring over at her father she squealed impatiently as Michiko tried to hide a laugh; she knew exactly what the baby wanted.

Switching her over to Inferno, she smiled as she saw the excited look on her daughter's face. Smiling, the red head thought, There is no mistaking who's daughter she is. As a delighted laugh came from the little girl, mingling with her father's deeper chuckle as they seemed to share in some private joke.

If there was one thing that was clear, it was that this was promising to be the best Christmas ever for the small family.

OOC: That's it for now, I'll get something in for the others next time.

[KurtZisa]

After coming out of the smog, in his Kaiju form, Sky blizzard lunged directly at him with the beast's claws raking out it's true razor-sharp tip. The kaiju quickly reacted and whipped the maximal with his steel tail.

He then approached Sky Blizzard with his plasma masers in his mouth blazing and can unleash hell upon the defenseless maximal. "So you think your claws are sharper? Well I hope you pelt is tougher minimal." As he was about to deliver the maximal's demise, a stray shot from above distracted him and halted his attempt. A small autobot fleet came in to his enemy's aid unexpectedly.

[Skitty Cat]

Knowing that she should stay and help Blizzard, she bolted past the Decepticon titan and grabbed a strange solider, bolting back and over to Armageddon faster before you could say "Cybertron" even once, let alone five times fast!

"So you think your claws are sharper? Well I hope you pelt is tougher minimal."

She supported the rookie and the other solider, she was grateful when more Autobots helped them onto the Ark. After they reached the medicial bay, she looked around fear and concern battling in her eyes she turned around once and demanded, "Why are we running away and leaving a wounded solider behind!"

Silence falling, they all knew Ladybug to be kind, yet she had a very strong sense of friendship. Approaching her, Rhythm stated simply, "We are working on a plan, m'lady, but we are having some trouble." Glancing at the moniter (sp?) she saw their opening chance, looking around Rhythm ordered sharply,

"Move! Open the hatch!"

Looking over nervously to see that her commanding officer agreed, she dashed over clearly ready to make the jump, smirking as she heard a similar thing going on the Axalon, instead it would be the young switch over Chorta that would be jumping. "On my count girl. One, two, three!"

Jumping she shifted into the graceful form of her small house cat form, although it was tiny, she could easily dodge ever the strongest of opponents, Xenos being one of them. Landing as the beautiful yet deadly white tigress form, her cold, ice-blue eyes met her blue pools.

Dashing over, she and the tigress roared, "Don't you dare touch or hurt our leader!" As both the she-cats bowled into him head on.

Staring at her dad with cold fire in her eyes, Melody dodged the punch he tossed at her; but what was unknown to her was that her dad didn't want to go on. He was trying to make her kill him, catching onto it a little bit she asked in a furious tone, "Why's that, Papa?" Shaking his head the dark-haired man punched Melody, sending her crashing to the cold, bitter kitchen below her feet as he bellowed,

"I don't care about you, never have never will!" Striking her right at her heart, Melody knew how he normally was. Tears of rage and fury coming to her eyes, standing up in pure rage she screeched back at him,

"Right back at ya, dad!" The reason for the fiery fight was that both of them were sick, they both had strep throat and it was kicking their butts. So they were both tired, sick, extremely short tempered at the moment. She had a bad day that night, in between school and work she had one extremely bad week; her dad was drunk again as she dodged another hit.

No one knew of these rows in between the two, her dad was normally a nice guy and all but he would blame himself; so when he was to far enraged Melody's dad would turn his sight to her. Taking it out on the silvery-blue haired fifteen year old, sure this was four years before her current self but what did it matter? She was always daddy's little girl as some would say, yet it was right on the spot on how she felt.

Unable to take it anymore she screeched, "Firaga!"

"Ahh!" She screamed, bolting up right and glanced around, startled that she had the same two dreams, she frowned, as she asked herself, "How much longer am I to go through this alone?"
