User blog:Spikewitwicky/September 18, 2019 - Spike's Journal Entry



Still up on Cybertron. I'm REALLY missing Carly, dad  and Megan. But I also know the stakes. Tomorrow, Fortress Maximus is supposed to be there for support for Omega Supreme. We've been doing...better.

Cerebros is still the outlier. And when I say outlier, I do NOT mean weak link. He has a lot of support. Scales  and Starlock has thankfully added their support. But the one missing peace is Stormfront  As much as we bicker, I can see how a lot of my personality has 'bled' into Cerebros. Mainly, he idolizes Stormfront, much like how I look up to Optimus Prime. I want to make Optimus Prime proud of me, and I feel crushed, depressed, and disappointed when I fall short.

Stormfront, rightly says he can't reveal too much because of his future travel. He can't say "Heyah, you guys saved the day with Omega." He can't say "You delt the Decepticons a fatal blow by destroying Trypticon. Stormy confided in me that he doesn't want Cerebros to get too close to him. But even if Primus forbid, Stormfront gets killed...death is an unfortunate part of life in this war. And if Stormfront gets killed, if Cerebros feels close to Stormfront, it will inevitably help him grow. I still don't think there was any benefit to me with my mom dying when I was so young, but I definitely got the full human experience about how you deal when you lose someone who was your entire life.

I hate to bring in a violent sport to coach Cerebros, but I told Stormfront about how some coaches 'pump' their boxers up. I read about how Mike Tyson, despite all of his strength and intimidation, was VERY insecure. And his coach just fed him the confidence to build him up. That's what I basically begged Stormfront to do. I said "Don't worry, he's NOT going to get a huge head. It's not like he's going to stop working if Stormfront drops an occasional "I believe in you."

Jesus, Stormfront, throw me a bone. I know you have the future riding on your shoulders, but you can keep things vague enough without altering the future. Tell him you believe in him. Tell him you trust him. You don't have to say "you'll make it by the time you face Omega, and you will be victorious." A pep talk with all of the future predictions scrubbed out. That's all I ask. But so far, Stormfront seems to be as stubborn as Dust Devil.
