End of Path (Nova's POV)
1 year later
Jasper Nevada
I was sitting on the top of the rock where it used to be an Autobot Outpost Omega One but now it is only a rubble. I was no longer wearing a military outfit, instead I'm wearing black undershirt and shorts along with dark red coat and black boots. I was looking through the screen (A/N like Peridot's screen) from my watch. Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that; I upgraded it with a help of my technopathy and Ratchet. Now, I have my very own miniature version of a computer which was impossible for anyone or anything to detect my doings.
Plus, Fowler and General Bryce gave me a decree as residential planet and guardian of Earth. No matter where I go, they won't charge me for entering every countries since I can hack into computer systems into creating fake ID's, birth certificate and other profiles, you name it. Jack, Miko, and Raf moved on with their lives, but I still kept in touch with them. Especially June, she was so kind to give me clothes and all the things I need. No matter time passed, I watched them grow up while I still remain the same but they'll always be my friends.
I've been visiting around the world and I've seen the beauty of this planet. I can see what Dr. Login meant by showing me the world, it was truly amazing. And the reason for travelling, I was tracking down some Cybertronian relics that was left behind on from long ago. Which I took the Iacon data banks from the Nemesis before we left. Beside, after what happen with MECH, I can't have anyone used them for terrible things. Which is why we confiscated the space bridge and moved to another secret base that I found...It was an uninhabitable island which was belong to an underground Decepticon Base since it's now abandoned and old. We decided to use it as our own and Fowler was so kind to give us a hand in rebuilding along with Ratchet.
Right now, I was scrolling down, looking through the news if any facts about the relics, however all it shows about Jasper Nevada planning to rebuild, some says it was invaded by terrorist while the other claimed it's alien nonsense. Sigh, If only they knew the truth about it. Then, It shows the news about a mysterious robot angel who stopped the terrorist and unknown girl who saved a truck from falling of a bridge as well. I guess they must have saw me and posted it online but it's ashamed that I erased all the evidence of my existence, even online since I was a former assassin who leaves nothing behind.
I switched off my screen before relaxing myself, enjoying the wind. I looked over to Campy who taking a nap beside me. I petted his head before going back to relaxation.
"Ah....the wind is good up here, just like before. Oh How I miss this place...." She noted.
While I was enjoying the view, a mysterious red Autobot came behind me despite I knew he was there. "Enjoying the view, huh?" He said.
"Yup....It kinda remind me of our time with Optimus."
"You really miss him huh?"
"Very much."
She kept staring at the sky where she can see the clouds. "Anyway....Did you figure out about your staff?" He questioned.
"Oh this?" I said, making the staff appeared though I am surprised I can still summoned it despite I'm not in my Titan Mode. I guess it is mystical after all.....
"Actually.....I'm not sure how it came to be but....right after I was killed, I heard voices and they just appeared before me. When I was given a second chance, they just lend me their strength and brought me back therefore I was thankful for that. Though, I still don't know who the voices are....but you don't think they are the fallen warriors who fought Cybertron, Do you?"
The mysterious red bot hummed in thought and replied, "I think so....I guess we all wanted to end the war and that's why they help you."
"Yeah...." I made the staff disappeared before looking down. He asked, "Too bad you can't get the Dark Energon out of your system."
"It's better this way....after all the world is filled with balance. Sometimes, I'll just deal with it.....beside I am born between two worlds."
"You sure do....just try not to something that would destroy the world." He said with a joke.
"Very funny...."
"Though, I wonder....why you choose to stay on Earth?" He asked.
"Because Dr. Login wanted to use her creation to help people and she did.....she created me, made from her own DNA. She saved my life so I'm returning a favor by watching over this planet. Think of it as repaying the debt to humanity."
"Heh....I guess hanging around with your human friends really rubbed off on you."
"Really, I guess I am....perhaps I'm starting to change. Ever since I emerge from this world, I began to doubt my existence and unable to trust anyone. But after spending time with them, I'm beginning to understand this world. I've met some people who were happy, some who fell in despair, overcoming through hardships and trying to move on. Now, I can see that they are many things to see and I still have a lot to learn about this world."
"I see....." He stood beside me before looking over his shoulder and said, "....Also, I wanna thank you for fixing my grave marker for me." looking back behind us where the pile of rocks with a horn on top of it.
"Well, It took me time to find your horn through all that rubble. But I manage to find it.....nothing can't hide from me."
"Still....Thx for finding it."
"Anytime....." I said looking up to the familiar red bot. "....Cliffjumper."
Cliffjumper looked down at me with a smile. "Hehehe.....You know it's strange your talking to me, like talking to a ghost."
"Uh....Cliff you are a ghost. Though, I'm not sure how I was able to see you but it had something to with the power of the Allspark or the Dark Energon that's making me see the dead. After all, Cybertron and Earth are linked together. You know two halves are whole and all."
Cliffjumper shrugged, "It's weird that you were able to wield both powers from different gods, despite it didn't corrupt you. Just try not to turn evil and do something chaos."
"Hey I'm not going to be as crazy as Megatron, since he has changed. Now that the Earth and Cybertron are at peace, I hope the future becomes a better world.
"Yeah.....I'm happy to see Cybertron restored back to it's glory. And I'm glad to see Arcee had a supported friend to be there for her. After she lost Tailgate and me, she pushed everyone away; at least one of your human friends was able to reach her. Thanks for being her friend."
I smiled at him as he smiled back at him before looking up as if he was being called. "Well, I guess it's time for me to leave, they're waiting for me."
"Sure....It's nice talking to you anyway." Cliffjumper was about to leave before I added, "Oh tell my regards to Alpha Trion I say hi."
He stared at me with a sincere smile and replied, "Sure, I will..... take care now, mini-herald." before he disappeared from my sight. I stared back at the sky once more, admiring the clouds and sun. That's when my watch start to beep, I lifted my wrist and opened the screen.
It was a message from Miko, which I rolled my eyes wondering what she wants as I began to read.
'Hey, Nova I know it's not part of your mission but I was thinking; next week is your birthday and don't say it's not becoz I told you we made it your day. I wonder if we could celebrate, you know like a reunion.'
Typical, the same old Miko and at first I didn't want to, but deep down I really wanted to see them. I let out a deep sigh before typing on the screen.
'Sure, as long as there's cake.....I'll be there.'
As I send the message to her, she replied me back with a happy emoji and a thumbs up.
'Awesome.....let's celebrate at your base once you come back. See you soon.'
I chuckled by her enthusiasm when Ratchet called in. "Nova, I detected an expose Energon in Arizona."
"Got it." I replied before switching off my screen. I stood up slowly from the cliff as I looked up ahead.
I know that the reign of Megatron's tyranny may be over but that doesn't mean the Decepticons haven't disbanded yet. They're might be those who are willing to follow his footstep and might return to Earth to finish the job. As long as I'm here, I'll do whatever I can to protect this planet that Dr. Login love, I don't care how long it will be. If they ever do come and threatened Earth, I'll be ready for them.
I whistled Campy as he woke up before hovering onto my shoulder. "Well, Campy It's time to go. We got some work to do." I said to him before I stepped off the edge of the cliff, letting myself drop. Right now, I was free-falling before my chest began to glow and my armor materialized on my body, making my clothes disappeared even my watch as well.
Just as I was a few meters away from the ground, I stretched my wings as the winds carry me upwards while Campy hanging tightly, reaching through the clouds. As I made it above the clouds where you can see the sun towards it.
Well, this is the most intense and fast paced stage of my life, before it used to be steady and I used to complain. But that's how life is really, don't make plans...well make plans, like 'hey you free this Friday night?' plans, but don't plan your future, just run with it, because chances are circumstances might change them, so try and do as much as you can with what you have, you gotta get it all in somehow with how short our lives are.
So, to finish this I'll offer personal advice, don't be afraid. And when I mean afraid I mean things that might or might not happen, with your sense of security, illness, fights, the acts of others on your fellow race or other species, most of all rely on yourself and of course others, but don't solely rely on the strength of one being you have to give yourself strength as well.
So just be aware that life is a huge troll, and if you keep encouraging it to be cruel then it will get to you, so don't let it. you can get upset and that's only natural but don't let it control your life but just be aware that it will always be there and you don't know when it can come back again to torture you, when someone becomes ill, or lost, or have had lost their lives.
As now as I was flying through the sky, met with unpleasantness again. Don't worry about me, I'll pick myself up again somehow, I always have I'm not a lot of things, well, I do have a lot of ways but nothing that specifically identifies me as a person, but what I mean is I still have will...it's a very damaged will, but still a will...to survive, to live even if I'm depressed. But I don't think of any other outcome for me in my mind despite what I might say at the time.
I do hope however, that one day, after my travels, whatever path I decide, that I go back to Cybertron, seeing all those people and maybe.....who knows when I turn the corners of their cities, I hope that one corner will catch me off guard, and from him a softened smile, perhaps.....I'll see him again...
Before diving into the clouds.
The End....
