The Transformer of Star Command

CH3: Star Command

"And how long did yah say you've had this thing for?" XR asked to the brunette.

Braedey looked down at the Transformatrix before turning to XR to answer. "I've had this model for only a couple of years now. But, I started using the original prototype eight years ago when I was ten." He explained.

"WHAT?!" Everyone, save for Buzz and Nebula, shouted.

Braedey was somewhat startled by everyone's reactions to what he'd just told them. Though, it did make sense once he thought about it. The Transformatrix was an incredibly powerful device, with the abilities and strengths of every sapient species in his universe. There were CNA samples of some unbelievably destructive Cybertronians inside it. For somebody to wield such a device at the mere age of ten would be a shocking tale to anyone.

"Yeah, and ever since I got it, I've been using it to help people, whether that means fighting a giant alien monster, stopping a robbery, even stopping an out-of-control train or whatever else." Braedey explained.

"So, Braedey, you talk about these Transformers, but what do they do?" Booster now wondered.

Braedey adorned his face with an expression of deep thought. It was true that his various forms had a wide array of abilities, but he had sort of lost count of just how many he had. "Let's see..." Braedey counted his fingers as he spoke. "There's their natural capability to transform their bodies into vehicles, such as cars, trains, cycles, trucks, planes, and other vehicles, along with bestial forms, like dragons, sharks, scorpions, and many others. They also have super-strength, super-speed, flight, regeneration, and a bunch of elemental powers... well, I kinda lost track, to be honest. The list runs on pretty long. It's mostly a question of what powers I don't have."

Booster's eyes widened as he whispered to himself. "No way..." The Jo-Adian couldn't really think of anything else to say. It was crazy. If Braedey was even half true, that would mean that he was probably one of the strongest people in this entire building. Maybe even the whole universe...

"Well, this definitely beats normal council meetings." Commander Nebula commented as he stood up. He walked up to Braedey and puts a hand on his shoulder. "You're alright in my book, kid. Tell you what - you can stay here on Star Command for as long as you need to, and whatever you need, we'll back you up on it." He goes and began to walk off. "Oh, and by the way, kid. Best you stick with Buzz and his team." With that, he heads off back to his quarters.

Braedey was a bit puzzled by Commander Nebula's comment. Wasn't 18 the legal age for being an adult? XR nudged Braedey and motioned him to listen. "In the future, 21 is the legal age to be an adult, not 18." XR whispered. Well, now that made more sense.

"Right. Noted there." Braedey nodded. He then saw the LGMs collect his duffel bag that had his gear. "Hey, fellas. I might need that, please." He asked, the LGMs being friendly and handing the bag to him before they go ahead back to the Space Shuttle. "Thank you."

"I guess they'll check over your rocket to see what there is." Booster took a guess.

"Perhaps. Hey, fellas!" Braedey called out to the LGMs. "Be very delicate with whatever you find, okay?"

"We will." The LGMs replied back in unison.

Buzz now takes notices of the Transformatrix symbol on the bag. "That symbol... the same thing that is on your Shuttle, as is on your device on your wrist. What does is signify?" He questioned.

"Well, it be like your Star Command insignia. The symbol is the offical marking of the Human-Autobot Alliance where I'm from." Braedey clarified casually. "And it's used as a badge of authority. By the way, is there anywhere I can switch into my casual clothing?" He asked.
