Not sure how long I’ll make this I also haven’t thought of a title yet (I’m using chapters to switch between prospectives)

This takes place in the Transformers: Prime universe somewhere between s1 ep 16 and beginning of s2

Chapter 1

(Patchwork)

I Meet A Strange Human

I was just going for a leisurely drive when I saw a faint glow appear in a dark alleyway. I drove closer to see but still being careful. The glow was coming from a portal which had opened there. It was like a ground bridge but it was the shape of two four pointed stars one being blue and the other purple.

 A figure clad in armor which was mostly mauve with tints of dark violet, the pauldrons (shoulder plates) being  indigo with gold spikes curling away from the helmet. The boots being mostly the same gold but fading into the colour of the rest of the armor. 

Once the person exited the portal and it closed behind the mysterious person I could see more details to the armor. The boots having a dark purple triangle on the front and on the sides pointing back where small flat wing like  being the same colour as the triangles. 

The helmet has a T shaped opening to see out of and thin gold detailing curling under both sides of the opening on the face, the one on the right looking like a S and the other mirroring it. It was also above looking like a unibrow curling in at the ends. On the sides there were gold pieces similar to the ones on the boots, but these ones were longer and curved up a bit. On top there was a medium light green poofy thing that was similar to hair.

Other details I noted that the only parts that were not covered by armor were the upper arms, thighs and knees, showing a light blue sweater and jeans that were under the armor. A long lavender and yellow scarf was wrapped around the neck and it flowed in the breeze.

The armor clad human took off the helmet and her excessively long hair literally went to the floor coming a few inches short. Her syrup coloured hair that faded into white at the bottom. Her hair was messy and stuck up most likely from wearing her helmet. A small purple braid was next to her ear. I could also see some more purple near the top of her head.

She put her helmet in her bag (it's a crossbody bag) which I have no idea on how it fit in there. She did the same with the rest of her armor taking the pieces off and putting them in her bag. She pulls out white shoes that had gray on the front and a star also the same colour on the side. 

She stretched and left the alleyway. I decided to follow her, waiting a bit to keep some distance so I don’t draw attention to myself or alert that I’m following her. I followed her for a while, she never let on that she knew I was following. 

Eventually we ended up in the middle of nowhere and she stopped. A few moments of silence passed before she spoke.

“Why are you following me?” She questioned before turning around to look at me, her hazel eyes examining me. 

I stayed quiet trying to find the right words to use “I uhh saw you come through a portal and uh I’ve never seen a human do that before.” I stammered “and I was curious on how you could do that.” I continued backing up a bit to not seem threatening. 

“Hmm I figured that was the case. That’s why I waited till we weren’t around anyone else to confront you.” She surmised with a smug look. “Well now that you know my secret Ima have to kill you now.” She continued stepping closer to me. 

“WHAT!?” I blurted, I knew she probably couldn’t hurt me, but then again she did come through a portal so who knows what she’s capable of. “T-that won't be necessary.” I stuttered backing up as she got closer. 

“Haha, I’m just joking, man.” She laughed, waving her hands “my name is Night Sky, just don’t tell anyone bout my abilities.” Night Sky continues offhandedly, putting her hands behind her head and relaxing.

I thought for a moment before deciding to tell her what I am. I transformed into my normal form and introduced myself. “I’m Patchwork.” I crouch down and extend my servo. 

She didn’t really seem shocked when I transformed. She shook my servo by grabbing one of my digits with both her hands.

“Well it’s nice to meet you Patchwork.” Night Sky commented with a smile. 

“Well now that you know about me I can’t really let you wander around by yourself because you’d be in danger.” I informed her. “I’ll have to take you back to base and inform—” I continued but got cut off. 

“I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself.” Night Sky retorted “I’m not even from this universe and older than you think.” She mumbled but I couldn’t make out what she said.

Chapter 2

(Night Sky)

I Go With An Alien Robot To His Secret Hideout Even Though I Didn’t Want To (At First)

When the car that was following me transformed into a 20 something foot tall robot I was a little surprised but didn’t show it. He introduced himself as Patchwork, he explained to me where he was from which was Cybertron. He also mentioned that he was an autobot and was fighting the deceptions with other autobots. 

He also explained to me that a lot of Cybertronian anatomy is called differently than humans so I could properly refer to things. It was only the basics, but it was actually quite interesting. 

He’s manly blue but has some other colours. His chest plate and upper arm is purple on the left and a lighter blue on the right. His chest was made up of what is the front bumper when in car mode. They don’t connect in the middle because they are like half circles but slightly pointed in the middle. 

On his back on each side two of his tiers were half visible above his shoulder pads. His other two tiers are by his pedes on the sides of his cadulen (feet and calves). Under his chest plate his chassis (chest) was a dark gray and his mid section was a lighter gray, but not as light as his face plate. 

 His doors which stick out like wings are yellow and sage green. A couple other parts are the same light blue as the right arm being the bottom half of the leg on the left and top part on the right. 

His helmet was pointed at the top like horns or a cats ear and in the middle not sure what it was called but there it was pointed at the top and came down just past the opening of the helmet and was flat at the bottom there is also a smaller dark gray part the same shape in the middle of it. 

The helmet went down the sides of his face plate and went inward at a slight downward angle just under his optics. On the sides of the helmet are his side view mirrors but they don’t look like it. Instead the shape of it looks like two horns but the one on the bottom is smaller. The colours of them correspond to the doors. 

“So what kind of car are you when you’re in car form? I’m curious.” I enquired, “also where are we?”

“Oh, a Lexus Coupe, and we’re in Jasper, Nevada.” Patchwork responded. 

A car could be heard approaching; fast, Patchwork looked slightly panicked as the purple and black car accelerated towards us. His right bitarlueu and servo (forearm and hand) transformed into a blaster stepping in front of me and aiming at the car.”

“Stay back and try to hide behind a large rock or something.” Patchwork told me, but I didn’t listen.

“I am more than capable of taking care of myself in a fight.” I retorted, rolling my eyes and crossing my arms. 

The car that was accelerating towards us transformed the same way Patchwork did but this one was black and purple and had a red visor. Then a blaster transforms similar to how Patchworks did but it looked different. 

“I don’t need to hide, I can help.” I insisted, pulling out my sword. The dark purple sword glinted in the sun; it also had a red and yellow four point star on the hilt. 

The two cybertronians shot at each other. Patchwork glanced back at where I was but noticed I wasn’t there any more he let out a breath of relief thinking I had gone to hide. Looking back to the fight he saw that I was running towards the foe sword in hand. 

“Kid, what do you think you're doing!” He yelled at me, and ran closer. 

“I ain’t no coward.” I responded and raising my sword to strike at the foot.

Patchwork reached me and punched the other guy in the face, they exchanged a few more punches, but in the end Patchwork was the victor.

“What you did was dangerous. You could have gotten hurt or worse killed.” Patchwork scolded me, his optic ridges furrowing. 

“Ok first of all, I’m … 28 so not a kid.” I informed him pausing for a brief moment before saying my ‘actual’ age. 

“Yes, what I did was dangerous,” I began, “but I have gotten into many situations where it was dangerous and I’m fine.” I finished throwing my arms out to the sides. 

“Anyway, do you know why that guy attacked you?” I wondered

“That was a Decepticon vehicon.” He said flatly. 

“If what you say is true about you getting into dangerous situations I really need you to come with me for your safety.” Patchwork insisted 

“I’m not getting a say in this matter am I?” I guessed. 

Without another word Patchwork gently grabbed me and transformed back into a car. I was now in the passenger seat of the multi coloured coupe being taken to who knows where.

* * *

Eventually we made it to what I assumed was his base. Entering a secret tunnel into the base I could see 5 other robots. 

There was a white and orange that looked like a medical vehicle, that was focused on whatever he was working on. There was also a larger green one, there was a yellow one who had his doors out like wings. He looked slightly shorter than Patchwork, and was talking to a mostly blue one with pink accents. 

I realized that I couldn’t understand the yellow one as he was talking through beeping and buzzing. The last one was blue and red and by far the tallest. The large exhaust pipes on the back made me assume he was a semi truck. 

Coming to a stop I was finally let out of the car as Patchwork transformed. I was in his servo when the white and orange one looked up from what he was doing and turned to see me. 

“Patchwork, why do you have a human in your servo?” He grumbled sounding quite annoyed at the fact I was there. 

“Hello!” I cheered, smiling and waving my hand trying to break the tension. 

“I’m Night Sky” introducing myself “and I was kinda brought here against my will.”  I added taking a better look at my surroundings. 

“Kidnaping Patchwork really.” The white and orange bot scoffed and rolled his optics as he turned back to his work.

The red and blue bot approached us addressing Patchwork, “do you have an explanation on why you brought that human here?”

Patchwork explained the situation to him, but while he was doing that I got a phone call from my best friend. I obviously answered it and put the phone to my ear. 

“Yo Sky, you busy right now?” My friend asked me. 

“Uhh yah sorta, what ya need?” I reply fidgeting with the little braid next to my ear. 

“Ohh it's nothing than, we can handle it.” She reassured me, with a nervous laugh. 

“Nightshade …. What happened.” I said sternly. 

“Nimo set the kitchen on fire again.” She admitted quickly. 

My eye twitched before I said calmly, “my dear old friend, you know that Nanaimo is banned from cooking in the kitchen.” 

I paused for a moment before raising my voice and scolding Nightshade “SO WHY DID YOU LET HIM IN THE KITCHEN!?!?!”

The others looked at me when I raised my voice but I didn’t notice. 

“It wasn’t even that bad. It’s taken care of now so don’t worry Sky.” She mused. 

I took a deep breath and let it out with a sigh, “was anyone hurt? If so, call over your boyfriend to help, unless he’s already there.” I commented.  

“HE’S NOT MY BOYFR—.” Nightshade started but was cut off as I hung up the phone. 

“Patchwork has explained the situation to me and may I ask why you came through a portal. ” He inquired after he saw I wasn’t on the phone any more.

The others were paying attention now and also interested about the situation. I thought for a moment before deciding to tell the truth. 

 I started kneeling on one knee and picked up my sword that was laying next to me and held it pointed down, gently touching Patchworks servo.  

 “I am Night Sky, I am a knight that travels the multiverse helping people in need and I protect people who need it.” I started, looking down as I spoke. 

“I may not look it but I’m a little over 1000 years old. I can’t die from old age or disease, but I can die of physical injuries." Looking up as I continued. 

“I have multiple abilities as well. I’m a really good sword fighter, I can make portals to other universes, telekinesis, I can make wings for myself, and a star burst which stuns a person for a bit.” Describing what I can do, standing up and putting my sword away.

“Lastly my appearance can change depending on the universe but I usually look like this. My appearance changing happens automatically and only to me, no one else is affected by this.” I finished explaining. 

“I am Optimus Prime, You seem like you would be a very good ally to the autobots. Whenever you like, you have a place here.” Optimus introduced himself. “Patchwork can accompany you as your guardian while you're here.” He added.

The others were introduced to me as well, the yellow one being Bumbelbee or Bee for short, the blue one Arcee, the green one Bulkhead, and the white and orange one was Ratchet. I closed my eyes sitting on Patchworks shoulder smiling and thinking what an amazing adventure this will be.
