Act II: College; Message from The Primes
*in Stanford, Connecticut*
We go to the mansion where Michael's family lives in, as a U-Haul truck is seen being loaded with boxes.
Michael and his friends graduated last year, but he decided to stay in WWE and Wrestling before going to College. He has since won several Championships, from PWG, TNA, WWE, and Lucha Underground. He currently holds the NWA World Heavyweight Championship it's proudly displayed on his bed.
Michael confessed to his double life due to him being caught in the Battle of the Great Basins, but luckily for him, his parents understood him and he forgave Aurora for revealing the truth.
Right now, Michael bought himself a house near his University, Yale, and decided to move out as he put his Wrestling Career on hold to focus on College. He wanted to be Independent and his parents respected it, as he promised to have his sisters and them visit whenever they wanted to.
We see Paul and Stephanie talking to each other in the living room while the movers are carrying boxes of Michael's stuff that wasn't in his room.
Stephanie: I knew this day would come, but... it's still hard to see it arrive.
Paul: Yeah. I agree as well. Michael's all grown, going to move out and go through College to get a Degree.
Stephanie: I know. It's crazy how life has treated him. He's gone through Wrestling without everyone noticing, got himself a Bike, the Bike being a Giant Robot, and got himself involved in a War with other Giant Robots.
Paul: Yeah. It was crazy. I'm just glad the Bots didn't have him involved in their business recently and let him live his life.
Stephanie: True. And speaking of Giant Bike Robot, I hope Arcee arrives soon. So she can't miss seeing him out before he enters College.
Paul: She'll come back soon, Honey. You know Cee is not gonna be late, but she has a job to do, and that's protecting our Planet from the Decepticons. And Mike understands that.
Stephanie: Yeah. Also, can you believe Michael and Mikaela are together? How crazy is it, them being classmates in Middle School to High School, then becoming a Couple and are now engaged?
Paul: Indeed. I mean, they do care, but it was some little shits that make their friendship more than that, but I'm happy for them. Especially, when Mikaela broke up with Trent.
Stephanie: Oh, hell, yeah. I hate that prick. Picking on people and then tried to assault Michael before he got his ass kicked. *chuckles* Anyway, I hope Michael's done packing. He has been in his room for a while.
Paul: My best guess: He's dancing in his room to enjoy one last stay there.
*at Michael's room*

Michael:
Michael is seen dancing to the song with Headphones while packing up his stuff. He's moving away to New Haven to start his time at Yale University, so he's dancing in his room before preparing to leave while waiting for Arcee to arrive from her mission in Shanghai.
Michael: I wanna rock with you
Dance you into day
I wanna rock with you
We're gonna rock the night away
Soon he stops dancing as he takes a deep breath while looking around in his room, which holds so many memories. He sighs with a smile as he resumes packing. Soon, he stumbles upon something he hasn't seen in a long time. An old Backpack he carried during his last year in Elementary through Middle School.
Michael: Huh. Interesting find. I haven't used this since that time an Explosion occurred during a Field Trip from School. Come to think of it, I don't remember much about it. I was helping some classmates to find shelter and then... I blanked out. *shrugs* Can't focus on that now. Let's see what this old bag has before I give it away.
He opens the Backpack and turns it upside down. Suddenly, something heavy fell and landed on the floor. The thud made him look over and see something strange. It was a metal plate that he had never seen before but was familiar with.
Michael picks it up as he looks at it in confusion and admiration.
Michael: It looks like an insignia. But... why was it in my bag? And... it looks like the Autobot Insignia.
He stares at it before putting it inside a box while hiding it.
Michael: Maybe I could ask the Bots for any info on this.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Michael gets a call as he checks and smiles at who's calling.
*with Mikaela*
We go to a workshop and Mikaela is seen putting some decals on her motorcycle, one she bought after Michael gave the money to replace her Moped which was destroyed.
She then pulls out her phone and makes a call. After a few seconds, the caller answers.
Michael: How's my fiancée doing? Being a Baddie Bombshell, I presume.
Mikaela: Doing good. And how's my Bad Prince of a fiancé?
Michael: Oh you know... being Bad and We all know it.
Mikaela chuckles.
Mikaela: Not Bad enough to skip College.
Michael: Yeah, but if I need to open my Promotion or business, I gotta get a degree.
Mikaela: True. So, how do you feel right now?
Michael: Honestly, I bit nervous. I mean, I'm going to College after spending a year in Wrestling, and now, I have a home to stay in and moving now. So, yeah.
Mikaela: I understand. But, I don't want you to feel anxious. You know that out of everyone around us, you're the more outspoken and bravest, Mike.
Michael: I know, Miki. I just... I'm just glad I get to talk about some struggles I have with you.
Mikaela: And I agree when I spoke to you about my stuff as well. So, has Cee returned?
*with Michael*
Michael: Not yet. I'm just sitting here, waiting for her while finishing packing.
Mikaela: Okay. Say, Mike. Have the Bots ask you to be like their spokesperson for support or something like that?
Michael: An advocate? What am I, Paul Heyman?
Mikaela chuckles over the phone as Michael gives a smile before getting serious.
Michael: No, they haven't. And I hope they don't ask me.
Mikaela: Why? You are more to closer to them than the Government and military.
Michael: I know, Mik. I just wanna live my life. It's their war and I'm staying out of it. Call me selfish, but that's how I feel.
Mikaela: No, I understand, Michael. I know how you feel about this. I just wanted to see if someday, they'll need your help.
Michael: We'll see, babe. And I hope I am not in a bad mood when I talk to some Pencil Neck Agent. I'll just make him how the Principal felt that one time I verbally assaulted him.
Mikaela: True. So, changing the subject-
As she continued, Michael noticed something glowing a bright blue. He looks over and sees his AllSpark Key glowing brightly as he walks over to it.
Mikaela: Michael, are you listening?
Michael: Y-yeah, Mikaela. I'm listening. I'm just seeing something odd.
Mikaela: Like what? You're mom being emotional about you moving out? All mothers do that.
Michael: No, not that. *picks up the Key* My AllSpark Key. Is glowing brighter than normal.
Mikaela: What? But, it hasn't been used, other than healing the Autobots, right? Why is it glowing?
Michael: I don't know. I haven't had any contact with Primus in these two years. But I don't know-
Michael trails off. He felt something inside him as he stared at the and then...
Suddenly, Michael felt a shock in his body and collapsed onto the floor. His body landing was heard as his sisters and parents were startled. Mikaela heard a thud over the phone and grew concerned.
Mikaela: Michael? Michael?!
Paul: What was that?
Stephanie: It sounded like it came from Michael's room.
Aurora, Vaughn, and Murphy ran into Michael's room and screamed in fright as Hunter and Stephanie ran and saw their son on the floor.
Paul kneels over as he tries to wake Michael up as Stephanie calls an ambulance. Soon, Aurora picks up Mike's phone when she hears Mikaela speaking.
Aurora: Mikaela, Michael collapsed! Mom's calling a doctor!
*with Mikaela*
Mikaela: I'm on my way, Aurora! I'll be calling Alex and Maria! Just stay strong!
Mikaela ends the call and makes a call to Maria and Alex. Soon, her father, Colin Banes, arrived.
Colin: What happened, honey?
Mikaela: Michael collapsed, dad.
Colin: Shit. Come on.
They ran to the car and drove off. As they did, Mikaela opened her communicator to contact Arcee.
*with Arcee*
Arcee is seen coming out of a Ground Bridge away from the public as she creates her Holoform to not raise suspicion.
(based on Gina Carano as I felt she fits the human form of Arcee. And a Fuck You to Disney and Kathleen Kennedy)
Arcee: Okay. Know to - *gets a call* Hello? Mikaela? What's wrong?
Mikaela: Michael collapsed, Arcee! It happened while I was talking to him!
Arcee: What?! I'm on my way!
She cuts the call as she speeds through the road to head to Michael's home.
*In Michael's mind*
Michael wakes up as he looks around his surroundings. It wasn't his room or Earth for that matter. It was dark but with a blue light glowing in the background.
Michael: Hello?! Is someone here?!
He walks around before tripping onto something. He gets up and looks down and sees something on the floor. It looks like a Hammer but also... alienlike.
He picks it up as he looks at it in confusion. He had never seen this Hammer before, so why was it around him in his mind?
?: Michael Levesque...
Michael got scared as he brought the hammer up to protect himself. It was surprisingly not that heavy for him, despite how big it was.
?: My apologies for putting you in temporary stasis. However, we come to you by order of Primus...
Soon a bright light shines over Michael as he looks up, his eyes reflecting the light.
Soon the bright light fades a bit as a group of giant Cybertronians appeared and stood in front of Michael.
?: There is a Darkness Coming... Earth is in danger... and we fear... one of ours has returned for revenge...
Suddenly, the blue turned a dark orange as flames came out and soon, a figure appeared his body radiating with fire and heat.
?: He will enact it... be warned.
Michael looked on in shock before suddenly he felt himself being pulled away from this and everything was getting brighter.
*back in the real world.*
Michael gasps as he wakes up. He then looked around and saw everyone looking at him with worry and concern. He then goes to sit up as Paul and Stephanie help him up.
Paul: Are you okay, son?
Stephanie: Have the Doctor check you out.
Michael nods as he sits as the doctor checks on him. Everyone looks on as Arcee sees the AllSpark Key nearby and picks it up so the doctor can't see it.
Doctor: Well... I don't see anything wrong. Perhaps it was an Epileptic Seizure.
Michael: What? Doc, I... I don't have Epilepsy.
Doctor: Yes, but you can still have the effects off. Right now, you're fine. But if you're worried, let me know. *gives him a card for the clinic.*
Michael takes it as the doctor excuses himself and leaves. After an awkward silence, Michael spoke.
Michael: Sorry I got you guys worried. I don't know what happened.
Mikaela: Are you sure, Mike?
Michael: I'm fine, Mik. *stands up*
Alex: Easy, bro. No need to start moving too much.
Michael: I'm fine, Al. I just took a tumble. It wasn't even painful.
Everyone looked at each other with uncertainty as Michael looked at them, knowing what they were thinking.
Michael: Hey, look. I'm fine, guys. I know you're not convinced, but I am. *does some stretches and dance moves* See? I'm okay. Still the Bad Prince. *chuckles*
Despite some uncertainty, everyone decided to drop it, as it's clear Michael doesn't want to talk about it, yet. Everyone walks out, except Mikaela and Arcee who stayed with him as Arcee gives him the key.
Michael grabs it as he looks at him. Soon, he brings it close to his neck as it transforms a hook to wrap itself around his neck.
Arcee: What happened?
Michael: ... it might've been an Energon Spike from the Key.
Mikaela: You did say the Key was glowing brighter than usual.
Arcee: I see. Energon can be toxic to humans, even when processed. But, why would it do it right now?
Michael: I don't know, Cee.
Mikaela: Did it tell you something?
Michael: ... No. It didn't. Which is weird.
Arcee and Mikaela look at each other. They know something is going on that the Key tried to communicate with Michael and he's not telling them what. They decided to drop it as they could tell Michael was still reeling from what happened to him.
Mikaela: Okay, Mike. We'll drop it for now. But if something happens again-
Arcee: You let us know, okay? We don't want you doing this on your own.
Michael: I promise.
They nodded as they walked out of the room so that Michael could finish packing. Michael sighs as looks at his Key with a frown.
Michael: Why now?
He then looks at the mirror as he takes a deep breath... until...
Michael looks at his glowing eyes in shock as the AllSpark Key glows as well. The message was clear...
There's a Darkness Coming...
How's the chapter?
Think it was better written than in the Original?
Do you think showing the Fallen is such a way helps his presence?
How do you feel about Michael's vision?
