Transformers: Prime
Chapter 1
Welcome to Jasper, Nevada a quiet small town where nothing goes on, except for a few street races and of course some small crimes. To ordinary people living on earth they have no idea about the existence of other higher beings, nor about the planet Cybertron. Only few of many did know about the existence of these higher beings and the war between autobots and decepticons, including the government and three young students from the local high school.
We start our story from the beginning, where a girl and her family who come from the big city move to the small quiet town of Jasper, Nevada. It wasn’t their first place of choice since they did come from the ‘big apple’ also known as the city of New York, but it was better for a quiet life. Estelle was a confident student and exceeded in her studies, 17 and already getting noticed by universities and colleges her parents give her lots of room to have fun.
Estelle was a kind individual, and a beautiful girl, piercing green eyes with long silky light brown hair, and a youthful complexion. She had a narcissistic personality and carried herself with pride, she was also entitled and she always wants to have a little fun. Let me clarify though, she wasn’t a wild one, she knew her priorities and did everything exactly to the point.
She’s responsible and very mature for her age, based on how her parents raised her they did a good job in regards to her being financially stable. While also being able to get her into jobs of modeling for small companies back in New York, nothing big. Falling in and out of sleep they almost arrived in Jasper, Estelle wasn’t really expecting anything, nor was her parents, but they did get a nice house. One of the nicest one’s in Jasper that money can buy, it wasn’t extravagant though like their penthouse back in New York, or their vacation home in Florida.
It was comfortable and open, especially when the sun was going down you get a great view of the sky in beautiful colors. Arriving and pulling up to the house Estelle hopped out with her one bag and gave it a look over, her parents walked ahead and they made their way in. Hiring movers who were friends of the family to start bringing in their stuff Estelle went up the staircase to pick out her room. There was a guest room and three bedrooms, for Estelle she picked first bedroom she walked into.
It was spacious, and she loved how it faced the direction where the sun rises in the morning since she is an early bird, plus the view was nice. Setting her stuff down she noticed the movers starting to bring her bags in and boxes. Thinking how she wants things set she planned to have her desk in the center of the room closer to the wall in front of her bookshelf. Followed by her choice to have the headboard against the wall and her two nightstands be one on each side.
Deciding the movers had it handled she walked out of the room and made her way downstairs where her parents were setting up picture frames and unpacking the boxes. Estelle’s dad came over after a few to say how she will be starting at the local high school tomorrow, and that she has her stuff already ready to go. For tomorrow though she has to pick up her schedule and books before class starts, her mom and dad were working on moving the company to Jasper.
Estelle’s dad owned a car company, and her mom owned a business that specializes in beauty products, from skin to hair you name it. You’d think they be entitled and spoiled but Estelle actually works for the things she has, how her parents brought her up was she has to work for her things. So that means paying and covering with the money she made from her job’s and put away in her savings, as said she was financially stable while under her parents supervision.
In a way Estelle was excited, once school starts up she plans to look/find a car that she can have as her own, of course it would be easy for her, but she wants a special car. One with class and one that matches her personality, and in Jasper she hasn’t seen anything that pleased her eyes just yet. As day turned into night everything was unloaded and the movers left, but there was still so much unpacking to do, she was thankful they brought in the mattresses though, so her family can have something to sleep on.
*Time Skip to morning (8:00 AM)*
Estelle woke up rubbing her eyes and went to open the curtains, wearing a loose fitting shirt and laced panties she walked over to her bags and suitcases to pick out an outfit. Grabbing her limited edition perfume and hypoallergenic deodorant she grabbed her towel and walked into her bathroom. Turning on the shower and setting her stuff on the sink she went back to her bed to lay out her outfit, deciding to go with her red tank top and blue short jean skirt with heels she grabbed her hair products.
*Time Skip to after her shower*
Walking out with just a towel on she sprayed perfume on her wrists and neck, followed by her deodorant, grabbing a matching bra she slipped it on. Now standing in her laced underwear she slipped on her red tank top followed by her jean skirt and a brown belt to match her brown heeled boots. She let her hair down and dried it, fluffing and curling, she let her hair lay loose, since it was her first day she wanted to make an impression.
Hearing her parents Jennifer and Chad calling her she grabbed her purse bag and made her way downstairs skipping each step. Walking her outside her parents got in followed by Estelle and they pulled out onto the road, she wasn’t sure how to present herself but she felt ready. After all being a model is ten times more work than showing up at a new school, even if it was small companies and one big company like her mother’s for example, no one would most likely notice or recognize her because this is Jasper.
Nothing special and the people here were average, not that many wealthy, maybe some, live in the town but they aren’t noticed most likely. After all Estelle is shooting for a low profile and to enjoy her last year in peace and quiet because she didn’t want the lavish lifestyle. It was too much work to be perfect and to live up to her parents to expectations, and coming here she can be free. Plus it’s quiet and she loves quietness, after a good while they arrived and she stepped out.
Jack, Miko, and Raf were chilling on the steps chatting about their plans later with their autobots back at base, but soon paused when they saw her walk out. Sierra and Vince even looked towards the young female strutting up in her heels and the students were even glancing at her. She had long legs, long hair that laid down her back in beautiful light brown waves. She smiled and walked up the steps, but looked over to Jack and winked at him, while also waving at Miko and Raf.
Entering the building she made her way to the main office and collected her things, it was basic really, she was shown around the school and made friends with students. It was an easygoing busy day, heck she even was with Jack, Raf, and Miko in between classes where they talked. “So where do you come from? What’s your secret? How old are you?” Miko asked energetically followed by Jack who said, “welcome to Jasper, nothing exciting in this quiet place but I hope you like it here.” She smiled and thanked him.
Now Raf was a smaller male but he a genius and really smart, him and Estelle were discussing computers and programs. Making the decision to have them as her main friend group because she actually hit it off with them, especially Miko who complimented how pretty she looked. Even giving her a small thank you gift, a special body lotion with a scent of mint that exfoliates and keeps skin looking smooth and silky.
Miko wasn’t much of a girl, in fact she was more of a rocker and didn’t give off that preppy out there vibe, she was different and that made her awesome. Overall it was a good start and she found her place right away, it was a great day and soon it was over. Walking down the steps with Jack, Miko, and Raf she noticed them heading towards their rides. Jack hopped on his Ducati 848 2006 Buell Firebolt motorcycle after waving at her, following by Raf who hopped in a 1976 Camaro, followed by Miko who was in a green SUV resembling a Lamborghini LM002.
Estelle was a pretty face but she knew many things about car’s thanks to her dad, now motorcycles for her were something she knew a bit of, she watched them leave and noticed her parents pull up. Hopping in she told them about her day and how she had fun, now on her way home she couldn’t wait to finish unpacking and organizing her stuff. It was a good day and great night and she was settling in enjoying the fact that she won’t have any excitement in her life anymore, or so she thought.
*Time Skip (A Week Later)*
It’s been a week since she’s been in Jasper and everything was easygoing for her, her studies have excelled and she even had time to go on a few rides with Jack Darby. She loved his motorcycle, he didn’t mind at all either, but since he is always going somewhere after school it’s a rare thing. Now here she is, deciding to walk around town and see what there’s to do, and where to eat she noticed this one placed called KO Burger.
Hearing her stomach grumble she walked in and ordered only to see Jack, “Jack hey,” she waved as she walked up to the counter. He looked to her with a small smile, “hey Estelle welcome to KO burger may I recommend the double burger?” He asked, and she laughed saying “why not, thanks Jack.” Estelle flipped her long hair noticing Jack observing her movements, they chatted and caught up.
After a few she revived her food and took a seat to eat with Jack who had some time to kill, they chatted and laughed talking about basic things. Only him and the other two knew Estelle came from a background in modeling, and knew who her parents were. She didn’t want it to be a big thing and she was thankful they kept it to themselves, even with her extravagant background she was seen for herself. A kind strong independent young women, who even said herself she wouldn’t want to follow in her parents steps.
*Time Skip (30 minutes later)*
Estelle had bid farewell to Jack and left, leaving him to get back to work, she enjoyed the quietness, nothing was going on and everything was perfect. She was also looking into different car models, even though her dad offered one of his, she was looking for a car that met her expectations. So far she noticed a couple of cool models but they looked to be European and not common.
Getting pulled out of her thoughts by a honk she turned to who it was, and it was Vince, he was with Sierra and her friend. He was first to speak saying “hey Estelle we’re on our way to the race, want to come?” Thinking it over she did hear from the students that there was a certain area where everyone races in Jasper. She even heard of the celebrations and other parties that go on, plus she would get the chance to see different car models.
Making the choice to go she hopped in sitting next to Sierra and Kate and enjoyed the ride, they were going to let Estelle host the race. Wearing only a short red skirt and Black crop top she wore thigh high boot heels, black in color. Pulling her hair into a ponytail it was still long, she looked beautiful as always, laughing and chatting it up with Sierra along with Vince.
*Time Skip (Sun going down)*
Arriving at the track she hopped out and walked with Sierra and Kate, grabbing the flashlight she noticed all the cars lining up ready to go. Noticing many guys were trying to show off their cars to her and even whistled, she walked with confidence and took her position. Last minute arrival she noticed this beautiful sleek red car, with a pristine paint job, it was an Aston Martin DBS V12. First time she saw one in person, her eyes landed and unbeknownst to her, a certain decepticon medic also noticed her gaze.
Knockout was interested in this fleshy/human, she was beautiful and did not fit in among these primitive people, average with nothing fitting, but she gave off confidence. Standing with pride and posing she raised her arm up and readied the flashlight, “ready! Set! Go!” That’s the last thing she said and all she felt were the cars zipping by her at fast speeds.
The race was intense and there was lots of competition, Knockout though was taking lead by far, she loved how fast it was. Deciding maybe just one of these days she’ll get a car just like that, or would even pay the guy driving it so she can have it. It was a thought she replayed over in her head, eventually after some more time passed the cars crossed the line. Smiling she took her hair down and looked towards the Aston Martin that sped off, he came in first and left like the wind.
Deep down she wanted to see that car again, get the chance to check it out in full force, it was a dream she hoped to come true. As she left with the other’s she noticed Jack pull up on his motorcycle and he offered to give her a ride home. Looking towards Vince and the other’s she hopped on and was given Jack’s helmet, taking it she put it on moving her arms around Jack’s toned abdomen.
The wind in her hair felt good, she and Jack talked about there reasons why they were at the race, Jack said how he wanted to see the car’s in action but it was a lie. He was there with Arcee when by chance they spotted Knockout, so they were checking it out.
Closing her eyes and enjoying the ride she felt the motorcycle suddenly come to a stop and she was thrown forward. “Jack what just happened?!” She freaked out and looked towards the headlights ahead of them, there was two midnight purple car’s, looked unique in style. “Scrap, listen Estelle, I’m sorry for lying,” Jack said taking her in his arms and going off to the side, she observed the stand off and soon there was the sound of clashing metal.
“Oh my god! Did your motorcycle just transform? Jack what’s going on?” She asked panicking and watching the two cars transform as well. “Take it easy Estelle, that’s Arcee, it’s a long story but who she’s facing off against are the bad guys, they are decepticons.” He said only to receive a blank stare of confusion, “I’m sorry what?” She clarified, only to hear Jack say “Optimus will clear it up, there are other’s like Arcee who are autonomous robots from the planet Cybertron, also known as autobots.”
Taking a moment to process she thought how she must be going crazy, even insane, there’s no way this is happening right now. Noticing her starting to panic Jack came up behind her and held her up, she was about to faint, after awhile the two cons were taken down. Arcee came strutting over and kneeled, “hey Estelle, I’m Arcee, I’m sorry if what you saw scared you, I mean no harm at all.” Taking a step back Estelle looked to Jack who just gave a nod.
Estelle couldn’t believe it, but soon calmed down and noticed the female transform back into a motorcycle, yelping she felt Jack guide her to hop on. She followed and put her arms around Jack, “Jack where are we going?” She asked only to receive “somewhere unbelievable, but safe.” He gave a reassuring smile and Arcee even chatted along the way, even Jack also provided insight.
*Time Skip (Back At Base)*
Picking up speed she felt Arcee go faster and saw them heading towards a rock face that opened up revealing an entry they drove through. “Woah” is all Estelle said as they pulled into a larger room, noticing there was more of these autonomous robotic beings she was introduced to. Hopping off she stood in the center, “welcome to the autobot base, I’m Optimus Prime, over there is my Medic Ratchet, and off to the left is our Scout Bumblebee.” She waved as he did introductions, “this is Bulkhead he is our Wrecker, and of course you met Arcee she is my second in command.”
After introductions she took a moment to relax, even clicked up with Ratchet who was in the middle of an important data sequence. Base was lively and now she knew why they were always running off, Miko and Raf were there and they were gaming on the sofa. It was nice to see, meeting everyone as well they welcomed her with open arms and she didn’t feel scared anymore.
Later into the night things began to settle down, Jack was first to leave with Arcee and Estelle, Raf went with Bumblebee, and Miko went with Bulkhead. It was a nice night and the ride back was relaxing, Jack gave his spare jacket to her and she relaxed into him. He didn’t mind though, after all since meeting her he did have a soft spot, but that’s who Jack is, he was someone special.
*Time Skip (Back Home)*
Estelle hopped off followed by Jack who walked her to the door, she slipped off the jacket and gave it back to him, “thanks Jack, and just to let you know, your secret and theirs is safe with me,” she smiled reassuringly, noticing Jack awkwardly rub his neck, “ya of course.” He said now observing her, before going in though she turned slightly and said “it’s been fun,” she said with a smile and walked in.
*Time Skip (Two Weeks Since moving to Jasper)
Working with her mom to promote her new product she posed for photos, fixing her hair and adding a light touch of makeup, she was feeling good about herself. After about an hour she was finished and decided to go on a walk, breathing in the fresh air. Wearing bell-bottom light blue jeans with a grey half top she wore tennis shoes to match.
Recently she got highlights in her light brown hair and she loved them, shooting a quick text to her friends she looked down then back up with wide eyes and a smile. “Hello beautiful,” she said spotting the red Aston Martin from the race, strutting over she took her gentle smooth fingertips and traced the details.
Knockout loved her touch, and her caresses, she made him feel special, so he decided to make himself known to her. About to lean over and touching his hood she heard a voice rang out that made her jump, “hello doll face.” The voice said and she looked to see where it came from, only to fall back hearing the sound of metal shifting and what she saw was another sentient being.
“My designation is Knockout, pleasure to make your acquaintance, and who might you be?” He asked kneeling down and all she said was “I’m Estelle, you have such lovely red eyes by the way.” Earning a small laugh and hearing his sultry voice, “why thank you, I do take great care for my image, after all I have to look perfect, I buff every few hours to keep this shining look.”
He was boasting which made her smile, “believe me I can relate, I carry myself with pride and confidence as well, always adding small touches every few hours.” She smiled with a laugh, watching him turn back into a car she noticed him open the door “after you m’lady.” He said and she complied hopping in on the passenger side, “wow, lovely colors and set up, leather and detail is perfect, I’m in love.” She looked around and felt the seatbelt slide over her, “thanks beautiful, I’ll be yours.” He spoke.
Blushing with a smile she was happy, “this will work out perfectly, after all my parents did say for me to look for a car, and you are definitely the one,” she spoke settling in. Noticing them starting to drive off she gave directions back to her house and he too was impressed, pulling into the driveway she hopped out and opened the garage revealing custom cars. Noticing an open area she motioned him to pull in, there were all sorts of tools, from a buffer to car polish she had it all.
“So here we have of course everything to keep a clean finish and shine, I’m sure you’ve noticed the other cars, they are from my dad’s company.” He scanned the garage and he liked what he saw, “now this is definitely nice,” he said feeling pleased and relaxed. Taking off her shirt revealing her tank top she grabbed the buffer and began to work on him. “Thank you Estelle,” he said only to hear her say “no need to thank me, after all, you’re with me now,” he felt calm in her presence.
Hearing the door open to the garage she saw her dad come walking in, “hey pumpkin, wow what a nice ride,” he said looking over the body work. “Thanks dad, I saw it and felt like this is my kind of car, I promise I’ll take care of it,” she said with a smile.
Only to hear “of course sweetie, I’m glad you’re making responsible choices,” he said hugging her. Smiling she bid him good night and watched him walk back in, “your dad seems cool.” He said only to hear her say, “oh he is, my parents give me lots of freedom to do what I want as long as I put my studies and responsibilities first which I’m good at.” Cleaning up and putting everything back she bid him good night, “hey Estelle, there’s something I want to show you tomorrow, I think you’re going to like it.”
Understanding all she said was “of course, after all it’s the weekend anyway, and I don’t have any plans so let’s do it, good night and get some rest okay.” She said kissing his hood and he said “good night beautiful.”
