User blog:Spikewitwicky/August 22, 2019 - Spike's Journal Entry



So, if I were to tell a licensed professional what's been going on, I'm sure she would route me to the nearest psychiatric facility. Case in point: "I just came back from Cybertron, where I'm trying to work through currently being psychically 'bonded' to another being, and last night, I was awakened by an Autobot who has traveled from the future."

Long story short, I was radioed by who I thought was Dust Devil last night - at around 2 in the morning. He told me to come to the second 'main' level in Autobot City. Fine. But when he emerged, he wasn't Dust Devil at all. Well, he was, but with some noticeable tweaks. He looked stronger. He seemed to mature a few centuries.

If this was a prank, I have to hand it to him. It was an epic prank. Like "one for the books" prank. But I asked him to open his chest component. He did, and I was floored to see his inner-workings. It definitely was the same Dusty I've been so used to repairing, but just enough tweaks and upgrades to make it at least appear that he was very much from the future. In his chest also resided a compartment for the matrix. He said the matrix was passed to him. Which sent a chill down my spine. I know we are all mortal, but I just have had this assumed belief that Optimus Prime's going to go on for a few more million years. So...what happened? Did Optimus Prime die, or did he just temporarily pass the matrix on to Stormfront?

I tried to get one over on Stormfront. I asked him to come up with something on me that only I would know. Something that couldn't be accessed through a database. And without taxing a circuit, he called out a time in the early 1990s, where Bumblebee and I were in trouble, and I lost one of my journals. It wasn't a huge loss - defintiely nothing that I reported, and it was something that until Stormfront reminded me, I had essentially forgotten about.

So, Stormfront said he's on Earth now. What's going to happen when he meets Dust Devil on Cybertron? More importantly, WHY is he here? Is it beause of The Fallen? Is he here to stop Optimus Prime from dying later in the future? He said he was here to meet Aegis.

Separate note, Dusty and I may get into arguments, but he said that in the future, we would continue to be friends. Plus, he mentioned that there's at least some great great grandchildren in my midst, so that makes me hopeful not only for my family's history, but humanity in general - there's at least a world a few generations from now.

Again, if this is a prank, I'm going to be so pissed.
