Ya boi is back again with another goofy one shot because my mind is plagued with stories and I most definitely should be getting ready for bed but oh well.
Once again these characters and this Void AU 100% belong to @rainy-s-other-corner and @mysticasrandomhorde and im just having some fun. I was highly inspired by their Dragonverse stuff but also the movie Water Horse. (Great movie if you haven’t you should watch it.) Soooooooo yeah I hope you guys like this!!
Phantom- Earthspark Optimus
Na’vi- The Last Prime is on Pandora Optimus
As always I did not use AI to write this story! Now I hope you all like this as I wanna thank these two for their inspiration and this universe because I adore it!!!
*Polaris carried the heavy metal bucket full of fish, as he had fetched extra when he got some for Alpha. He quickly made his way into the oil change room, making sure the door was locked and that the out of order sign stayed hung. Luckily the other Optimi didn’t have to use it as often as humans used their restrooms, so this was a perfect way to keep his little secret safe.
*Polaris walked inside, and immediately his friend in the rust tub cheered as it did flips. He remembered how much water he had to get to fill this damn tub, but by Primus was it worth it.*
Polaris: “Heyyy lil cutie!! I got some food for you!”
*the ilu chirped loudly as it splashed the water with its fins, nearly making a massive mess. Polaris ran up as he began to feed it, and chuckled at its adorable face.*
Polaris: *pets the slimy animal as it plays in the tub, and it chirps as he feeds it.* “Shhhhh, you gotta be quite, alright? I don’t want them to hear you.”
Ilu: *squeals as it does flips in the tub, and splashes him him the process.*
Polaris: “I swear I’m almost done with the tank in my habitation suite, then you can have alllllll the room in the void to swim!”
*Royal began to walk towards the oil room door, and found the out of order sign on it that had been hung for three solar-cycles.*
Royal: “For the love of Primus, when the-” *stops when he hears a small chirp, and puts his audial finial to the door.*
Polaris: *has a servo over the ilu’s mouth, and mouths “Shhh, you have to be quiet!!” *his spark is in his throat as he waits to hear Royal walk away.*
*the ilu did its best to stay still, yet the sight of the fish made it begin to try and swim out for more. Polaris tried to calm it, till it squealed as it made a few clicks.
Polaris: *hisses through denta.* “Streaker! Stop!”
Royal: “Polaris..? What are you doing in there?”
Polaris: *his optics and the ilu’s eyes widen.* “Scrap.. Uh hey! Royal! Nothing everything’s fine, just yunno, using the oil room! I really needed a rust bath!”
*the ilu tried to swirl out from Polaris’ servo, and began to flap its fins as it tried to swim.*
Royal: “Why are you using it if it says it out of order?”
Polaris: “Welllllll it’s just the oil bucket that doesn’t work, the rust tub is still perfectly fine! *snaps through his denta quietly at the ilu.* “Fragging stop!”
Royal: *tries to listen closer.* “Well what in Unicron is happening in there? It sounds like you’re trying to drown.”
Streaker: *chirps as she manages to get out of the tub, and the bucket falls to the ground with a clank.*
Polaris: *does his best to get the ilu back in the tub.* “No no no Streaker stop!”
Royal: *now absolutely knows he’s up to no good.* “Polaris! Open the door this instant!”
Polaris: *starts panicking as he tries to get the ilu in his grasp, but she’s too slippery.* “I’m a bit busy Royal!”
Royal: “Open this door or I swear to Primus I’ll grab carrier!”
Polaris: *knows how big of trouble he’s in now, and reluctantly lets Streaker eat on the oil room floor.* “Ughhhh okay okay okay but you need to have an open processor! Please!”
Royal: *begins to wonder and suddenly feels disgusted.* “ARE YOU IN THERE WITH VEGA?!?”
Polaris: “WHAT?! N-NO! No, Royal please, just.. promise me you won’t freak out!”
Royal: *puts helm in servos as he sighs roughly.* “Open the damn door, Polaris.”
Polaris: *looks at the ilu.* “Streaker, stay, I’m not going anywhere.”
Streaker: *chirps as she eats happily on the wet floor.*
*Polaris cracked open the door, and before he could get a word in Royal forced it all the way open. When his optics landed on the strange alien animal eating a bunch of fish on the floor he became utterly frozen, then looked over at Polaris.*
Royal: *his yell echoes through the whole autobot base, making the other Optimi down stairs look up* “WHAT IN THE MATRIX IS THAT?!?!”
Polaris: *stands in front of the ilu as he has his servos out to Royal.* “She’s friendly!! I promise!! She’s called an ilu and she’s so fragging cute!! I named her Streaker!!”
*Big Rig and the other Optimi made their way up the stairs, only to find Royal freaking out in the hall while Polaris guarded the oil room door.*
Big Rig: “What is all the fuss about, Royal?!”
Royal: *snaps his helm towards him as he points at the ilu.* “POLARIS HAS BEEN KEEPING AN ALIEN ORGANISM IN THE OIL ROOM!”
*the others Optimi made their ways closer, and they all froze as Polaris made his way inside, caressing the ilu who was completely ignoring them, gorging on the fish as its fins thudded happily against the floor.*
Sage: “…… what.. is that?”
Polaris: “This is streaker! She’s called an ilu and she’s really friendly, and only likes to eat meat!! But she needs water so.. I made her a little place in here until I can make my own tank for her, and I’m almost done too! Besides it’s not like we use this all that often.”
Cadet: “Where did you even get that?!”
Polaris: *tightens his grip on the ilu.* “I.. got her from somewhere..”
Cadet: “No slag Sherlock! Where?!”
Polaris: *hugs the ilu’s head as she nuzzles his chest.* “I.. might or might not.. have taken him from Na’vi’s world..”
Phantom: *servo palms.* “I’m too tired for this, I’m going to recharge.” *walks down to his habitation suite.*
Big Rig: “You did what?!”
Sage: “Polaris, you know how important the animals are there! I’m sure Na’vi would bust a gasket if he saw this animal just kept in this tiny room and.. is the rust tub filled with water?! This is where you’ve been keeping it?!”
Polaris: “She has a name, and it’s Streaker! And yes I have been but I’m making her a tank! It will be perfect for her!!”
Royal: *snorts* “Where are you keeping a tank?”
Cadet: “How did you even get it back here? With Na’vi’s help?”
Polaris: “I’ve been building one.. In my habitation suite, and no.. I snuck her here. She was just so cute!! She kept trying to follow me so I brought her home!”
Big Rig: “So.. even Na’vi does not know you have done this?”
Polaris: *shrugs.* “I don’t think he would mind! Clearly she’s happy, right lil cutie?”
Streaker: *stomach full and happy as she chirps, then looks at the other Optimi as she flaps her fins on the floor, squeaking and doing small roars as she bobs her head.*
Polaris: “See?! She’s happy!!”
Royal: “I’m com-linking Na’vi and having him escort this animal back to where it’s from.”
Polaris: *hugs the ilu’s head tighter as he begins to shed coolant.* “No! No please! She’s my friend, and she makes me happy! Please!”
Royal: *stops and feel’s his spark break at the sight of Polaris crying, and begins to soften.* “Kid.. we can’t keep her in here, it’s too small, she’s hardly thriving.”
Big Rig: “Indeed, this creature deserves more than to just sit in a rust bath for the rest of its existence, or a tank for that matter.”
Polaris: *begins to cry more, and the ilu nudges his helmet as she whines, doing her best to cheer him up.* “Can’t we at least maybe find a lake or something here in the void?”
*the Optimi stared at each other, neither really knowing what to do. Yet they could clearly see how much this strange animal meant to him, so they finally caved..*
*Royal kneeled, and the ilu began to waddle foreward. She nudges his servo as she looked at him so happily, and he couldn’t help but admit to himself that she was indeed quite cute.*
Sage: *sighs.* “Well.. I’ll go look at that one lake near the garden. It might be big enough for this animal.”
Royal: “Indeed.. make sure it’s one with no other predators in it.”
Cadet: “Are you guys serious right now?!”
Sage: “Well.. the animal is clearly happy.. and if it shows signs of discomfort here.. we can always have Na’vi come and take it back with him.”
Polaris: *runs and crushes Royal in a hug, and the ilu nudges his back as it tries to join*
Royal: *stiffly hugs him back.* “Don’t ever do something so stupid ever again.”
