#ghostsofthepresent

this is @burning-stars98, or @rescuebabiesau. one of my biggest idols. she writes amazing transformers stories, like Ghosts of the Present, Blessings in Disguise, Energon is Thicker Than Water, the Vector Sigma AU, etc.

she also makes Sonic stories, like the Sonic Destiny AU and Little Hands, Big Attitude. i haven't read them, but i know they're good.

all these stories are absolutely amazing and you guys should read them.

now, the reason i'm making this post is because despite how many people like her stories, she doesn't get a lot of recognition on her tumblr accounts.

so, i'm asking you all to SCREAM AT HER through her ask box.

ask her about random stuff! her stories, her motivation, or just say a hello! but please add a little something into her inbox. she deserves it.

After a moment, the sound faded and the shaking eased away to stillness again. Still, the sounds of cars honking and alarms going off rang out from the streets nearby.

“Deus Machina…!” Mega Ambler gasped.

“Jun…Are you alright…?” Blue Cop asked.

Jun slowly uncurled from his defensive position, looking up and around. “...Mmmhmm. What was that?”

“Quite the explosion.” Buster Gallon remarked, “But… I don’t see any fireballs or indications of where it came from.”

“There wouldn’t be.” Chase replied, transforming to look up at the night sky. Jun did too, and for just a moment, he thought he saw a small series of cracks in it before they disappeared. “...That wasn’t from down here… That came from The Mists.”

He has his medical credentials back.

He's now the head of a small medical clinic on Iacon's east side, with a dozen employees under his command.

He's got Wildbreak, nicknamed "Wiley," who hardly ever leaves his side and screams murder when he's handed off to someone else and it breaks Knockout's spark every time.

Life is good.

And then he gets a message from Bumblebee on Earth. Breakdown's spirit is still around, he's still trying to fight the Autobots with anything he can manage in his non-corporeal state, and Knockout is one of the few bots who might be able to calm him down.

Knockout's life, the life he's spent years rebuilding into something soft, something quiet and simple, has now had a brick thrown through its window.

He's on the next spacebridge to Earth, of course. Him and Wildbreak both. They arrive at Bumblebee's base in the Scrapyard and he sees Breakdown for the first time in years. He looks the same, but more... ghostly. Is it really him? Can it really be?

But he notices. Wildbreak isn't crying, like he always does when first meeting all strangers for the first time. He isn't ecstatic to see Breakdown, but he's not screaming and grasping onto Knockout for dear life. He recognizes Breakdown as someone his dad knows, someone his dad trusts.
