Ōkunoshima (大久野島?) is a small island located in the Inland Sea of Japan in the city of Takehara, Hiroshima Prefecture. It is accessible by ferry from Tadanoumi and Ōmishima. There are campsites, walking trails and places of historical interest on the island. It is often called Usagi Jima (うさぎ島?, "Rabbit Island") because of the numerous feral rabbits that roam the island; they are rather tame and will approach humans. When it said rabbit island, it was serious Ōkunoshima played a key role during World War II as a poison gas factory for much of the chemical warfare that was carried out in China. The trails of such factories now are museums. All RP Rules applies

A groundbridge appears in one of the remote zones of the island. A neutral merc runs ans transforms at the few seconds of stept the island. Then, he's followed by Whiteclaw, who let the Sparkling of the ground.
Suddenly, some small creatures covered by fluffy skins watch the newcomers. In there are no humans yet, but the tourists wont take so long to arrive. Just plants, barely some birds, but the main characteristic of the place is the big amount of lagomorphs living in the island.
Rifle would find a dark and hidden place to park himself. Such place was composed by plants and some half destroyed building. In the other hand Whiteclaw got distracted by the animals. He's enough tall to have a good vission of them. As a biologist and wildlife lover, White was astonished at the rabbits. He got too distracted that he never saw Rifle making use of his human avatar.
A human silhouette composed by light appears. After some seconds, it got color and a more defined three dimensional shape until end in the representacion of a tan skinned man wearing a white shirt and black pants, without forget those typical moustache and circled glasses.
The man waves behind Whiteclaw and Cobalt.
Hey, I'm here!
Whiteclaw turned at the voice. He stepped back in surprise since he never imagined Rifle's avatar like that.
Is that... you?
The man only smiled at the giant mech.

Cobalt was amazed by what he found, and immediately laid on the ground in hopes some of the rabbits would near him. The sparkling had never seen such creatures, or many creatures at all. Cobalt barely even noticed Rifle use a human avatar, he was so engrossed by his surroundings. He tried to lure the critters towards himself by imitating their squeaks, hoping such a tactic would work. Even being so young the sparkling was able to hold still quite easily, knowing that the rabbits would be scared by sudden movements by such a larger being because that was how he would feel.

Rifle's avatar walked to the black bus (who it's his real body) to take a bad of rabbit food which he kept stored.
Meanwhile Whiteclaw tried to dont scare the animals, but a 40 feet tall mech is a thing that can be noticed by everybody. He now was fascinated at the ability of Blackhertz to create a human avatar. Even, if a real human where looking and touching the merc avatar, everybody would think it's a real human and not an illusion, but at the same time the rabbit were something he would ook for hours without get bored.
The Rifle's avatar walks towards White and throws a bit of food to the rabbits. A dozen of them started to surround the holoform.
I felt sorry for giving the last rabbit away, so, I wanted to compensate it. Feel free to take all of them if you wish!
Whiteclaw was tempted to pick some of them, but his big and clumsy body was a risk, and the elder knew it.
Hey, if you use a human avatar, you can aproach to some rabits, after all, they dont fear humans at all. Try to lay down in there and close your optics.
Are you sure?
Feel free to slap me if that doesn't works. I've tried to explain how a human avatar works, but if you have a problem, feel free to ask
Whiteclaw belived in the other mech. He walked towards the beach until find a place to lay down and let his body under the water. He didn't wanted to be seen as human
Another group of brave rabbits started to surround Cobalt. Some of them didn't feared him since the sparkling has the same height than a human does.

Cobalt quietly giggled, making an attempt to move as little as possible. But despite this, the sparkling did ever so slowly shift his arm to try to pet some of the critters surrounding himself. To do such a thing would be wonderful, though he wasn't totally certain what had gotten Whiteclaw so excited. Then again, Cobalt didn't exactly understand what Rifle was doing, or that it was special in any way. What was special to Cobalt was the organic life, it was so delicate and small... it was important to him in this way. He wanted to know more about it, embrace it. All life deserved to live, and to be respected, so he would treat it like so. Maybe this would mean something later, maybe it just means he'll play with animals, he's a child, it's awfully hard to tell. But such thoughts are beside the point, all Cobalt wanted now was to touch a rabbit.

The big mech were covered his body under water, somewhere in the beach. Rifle continued throwing the rabbit food with his holoform at the point to get more than 20 creatures claiming to be feed. Whiteclaw was taking a long time to apear, and that got Rifle a bit worried.
Damn, Seems he felt in recharge as usual...
Rifle was so close to walk towards Whiteclaw hideout when a small source of light was seen behind him.
Sorry for the delay, I needed time to remember about making hardlight avatars.
Gradually, a tall old man with full white hair and pale skin appeared dressed like a explorer and the clothes had the same color scheme of his armour. Whiteclaw didn't cared about the avatar appearance at all. Everything we wanted was a human disguise to stay around. Anyway, his avatar has a lot bugs yet. Some traces of light are seen casualy on his hardlight body.
White wanted to pick a one of those rabbits which were around Rifle, but his few experience with hard light avarts makes him unable to hold something In the other hand, the Rifle's avatar picked a small bunny with both of his hands and pets it 140 years of experience are shown in his ability to keep his avatar solid and with an absence of bugs.
Now if Cobalt didn't want to pay attention to the holoforms, now he could find something in them of his interest.
Hey, child! Come here!
Come with us Cobalt! We got already one!
Rifle raised the rabbit as Whiteclaw pointed at it as the rest were surrounding them so badly. Meanwhile, both of them started to talk a bit quiet.
Now, I done what I promised. I got another rabbit as you wished. Are you happy now?
You didn't had to do it. I though you weren't going to come back for the last issue in that bar.
Whait? You were trying to be serious whit that?
Whiteclaw looked at the floor, trying to get his sight at the rabbits.
Do you think I'm able to joke with that kind of issues?
Rifle shows a nervous smile and did everything to change the subject.
OK, let's forget about that. Better explain me what happened in the medbay? why did you reacted in that way?
The old man sighs deeply. He didn't know the exact reason of his behaviour in the medbay, and in the other hand he feels ignored for the merc.

Cobalt immediately looked off to the two human holoforms, spooking all the rabbits surrounding him away. A little saddened by scaring off the animals, the sparkling stood to investigate. Suddenly his optics were filled with a feeling of excitement, having seen the rabbit Rifle held. So Cobalt quickly made his way over to the two of them, his servos extended before his frame. May I hold it? Please? The mech is bouncing up in down, visibly begging for the critter to be given to him. To be given the rabbit would surely appease him for the time being. Though now up close to the holoforms, the lack of a difference in height between he and them did add some unease to the sparkling. It was odd to be so similar to them. But even with that, Cobalt continued to reach out for the bunny.

I dont know, I only smelt something. That odor smelt like something I remember. I'm not sure what it was, but I'm sure I was really happy with that smell in the past. I felt really weird with that, but I'm sure it was not the leader, it was something else impregnated on her body.
I.... I'd like to have a good couple of nostrils to know what you feel.
A weird silence invaded both of them. Until Whiteclaw smiled at the sparkling as an attempt to make him feel confortable, the silence was broken.
Dont worry, this is temporary. We'll go back into our real bodies later, ok? At the moment, please, be careful with the creature and with the other humans around.
Rifle didn't was paying attention to Cobalt. He only gave the rabbit and the food as he continued the conversation with Whiteclaw. The rabbit would smell the sparkling servos once he picks it up. The rest of them would smell the food bag, and probably follow Cobalt. It would look like a troop made of only lagomorphs ready to listen the small mech.
Now you know the reason of my behavior in the medbay, and that I never tried to joke in that way. So...
How disappointing, you needed to get drunk to get a bit of courage.
Are, you angry with me?
The younger man looked away.
You're being a liar, you didn't acted like this before get that... horrible predacon body of yours. I miss the old Whiteclaw, the one with a decent airplane mode, the one I meet in my first cycles of life!
What's the difference between me and the other Whiteclaw! I... I try to do everything to remember how my older one used to be!
Your personality and manners are the same, but...
But what!?
Seems you dont remember it, do you?
Whiteclaw looks confused at the human Rifle. He clearly doesn't know what the merc is talking about. Their voice became louder unconsciously. White would not like to disturb Cobalt or Rifle, but he's worried in some sense.

Accepting the rabbit happily, Cobalt immediately starts to give it food just as Rifle had. Enjoying the fluffy creature in his servos, Cobalt made efforts to keep it there. He lightly petted it while it nibbled on the feed he had before it, feeling it's little nose rub on his fingers. It was so soft and delicate, it's confused him that it had lived so long, but it was here, and there were many... they felt special to Cobalt. White? You used to be something else? Was it good. The sparkling didn't really understand what the two human holoforms were speaking of. But it felt contentious. Cobalt didn't really feel comfortable around this, but he wanted them to stop. Daddy! What's happening? Why are you arguing? He sounds distressed while stepping closer to the two, more so towards White.

The other rabbits starts to follow Cobalt at hearing the noise of the food bad. Now they would be over than 30, maybe 40? 50? Another creatures get their heads out from their place to look at the humans holoforms and sparkling presence. Since it's too early to get tourists in the island, the rabbits would come to claim for their ration of food.
In there was no way to know if his older version was good or not since Whiteclaw have mental glitches about his recent memories. The latest 10 millions of years are almost nonexistent to White, and the rest have a lot of mental holes. The old man holds Cobalt's right shoulder.
We only tried to hold a friendly conversation. Dont worry.
Hey, little punk, the adults are trying to speak, so, please, don't interrupt.
Whiteclaw felt a bit bothered at Rifle. His 'eyes' stared at him as he stept towards him. Please, try to be a bit nicer with him, he isn't the responsible of our faults.
Ok.. Back to the point. Seems you don't remember the family you had, the life you had.
I kinda do. Is that a problem?
I just remember... one day you said you were going to try to be loyal to your family, even once they went gone. And you held that promise your whole life at the point to stay alone the rest of your life as you went away to explore new races. The idea of you breaking that promise gets me a bit depressed. Since I knew them. You have to change them for a greedy mercenary...
Whiteclaw felt a bit guilty form inside, like if he were a kind of morbid monster. He didn't remember that promise until Rifle mentioned it. He would turn at Cobalt again, trying to explain the mess.
Sorry my child. You are only hearing stuff you didn't had to. See, I used to have another body, and another family. I was so close to die since my older body wasn't enough to hold me. But after get my new body I noticed my memories went down... Know I don't know what to do!
Maybe everything you think, feel and beliefs aren't not the same as before.
People change, you know. I have to say your broken jaw scares me, and that denigrant job of you makes me feel worried. Anyway, I know if there is a small fraction inside you wich is scared and only wants to find hope and relief. You are doing everything you do because your dream is being a singer again. the point is... you have changed too, both of us has changed. Especially with us being in middle of this war. But Hey! I'm alive yet. Are you happy to see me alive again? Are you?
I have no idea.
So, how the other Whiteclaw would react then?
I dont know, maybe you would look for your daughter and go away once you find her.
And why you followed me for those years?
Rifle would reply with a half broken voice.
I don't know, maybe because I didn't have someone to trust at.
So, if I'm not the person you were looking for, so, why are you still here? Why did you come back instead to running away.
The Rifle's holoform would look down, in there is no a reply. That is something weird since Rifle is one of those mechs how rarely knows the silence. Whiteclaw holoform approached to him, trying to get an explanation,It ended in Rifle yelling at White angry. he wasn't angry witht he old mech, but yes with himself.
Because you're important to me, right! I've been worried for you for ages! Now, leave me alone. No, don't do it! Nevermind...
A deep sigh is heard from Rifle's holoform.
So, do you...
Me what?
Do you... Sorry I'm not able to say it!

Cobalt stared in awe, from a fight came them speaking out about themselves. They were opening up, and from the looks of it the fight was subsiding. The sparkling hoped this was as good of a thing as it appeared to be. And what White was going to say was beyond him, he had no understanding of the situation at hand. White was definitely struggling with something, he wanted to ask, but was a bit afraid of Rifle shooing him again. So instead of speaking he fed the dozens of rabbits around him while occasionally petting the one he held in particular. it was quite enjoyable for Cobalt to do this, soothing even. Having all these creatures around was really nice...
...so Cobalt grabbed more to take home to the Autobot base.

Do you feel the same as me?
What do you mean with that?
Well... Whiteclaw tried to get enough courage to say something without the need to get drunk or under the effects of substances that could affect his mind. He tooks a while to move his mouth.
That... I... I love you... I know, this is wrong... but according to everything you have told me, if he were coworkers and friends for many millions of years, so, is in there a difference?
The White's holoform bugged even more once he said everything he had to say. Rifle's avatar looked at the ground again before to disappear.
You are only looking for your death with this...
It only took few seconds to have no clue of Rifle's human holoform. The black buss would be parked some metters away, but it was clear. Rifle didn't want to speak. It would get the old mech disappointed really bad.
Whiteclaw turned to the sparkling to play with him. Maybe this would make him feel better, also, he had to share a bit of time with the cybertronian he considered as 'his soon', even if Cobalt doesn't share the same vission.
Do you want to go to the base so soon? Well, we are going to call to a groundbridge, but in the meantime we could play. ok?
He wanted to hold a rabbit, but seems he has few experience using a hardlight body. His arm only went through the creature's body like if he were a ghost.
I know I'm not the best father, and maybe I'll never be. But if you find a better family, or, even, if you find your real family. I wont mind if you go with them and forget me. I only wanted to let you know that because you're important to me. ok?
The avatar smiled at Cobalt as it bugged again.

Cobalt frowned at this, continuing to feed the rabbits encircling them. He felt that Whitclaw was a good father, and that he should not put himself down so much. On top of that, Cobalt wasn't exactly interested in a new family, or searching for his old one. With the circumstances that left him alone, Cobalt was fairly certain he was orphaned. He wanted to make White feel better, and there was only one way, even if it would be a sort of failure. Cobalt took a step forward and tried his best to hug the glitchy holoform.
Whiteclaw... I think you're amazing... I love you Daddy...
There is a crack in Cobalt's voice as emotions start to fill him. The war had rushed him into a maturity he should not have, and it was starting to take it's toll. The sparkling was crying, even shaking. He wanted comfort and his father wasn't even comfortable. Whiteclaw wanted something of Rifle, and Rifle was afraid to provide, and that wasn't helping the predacon's morale. This was awful to Cobalt, and he would do what he must to improve Whiteclaw's mood, even if he needed support himself.

Whiteclaw's avatar just tried to return the hug as well. Sadly, as it's a wrong made hardlight holoform, Cobalt would get his arms through it, so close to only hug the air. Anyway, Whiteclaw would try to remain his avatar a bit solid.
Shhh,In there is no reason to cry. See, I'm around here, you dont have to fear nothing, and seems they are around too.
He pointed at the creatures surrounding CObalt, some of them wanted to jump and climb on the sparkling body to get the food of the bag, but in every attempt the ended falling. the rest were waiting to the perfect moment to go for the food. They are simply minded animals, or at least, they are acting like so right now.
Back with the old mech. Whiteclaw would try to smile and forget everything that happened the latest minutes. It's impossible, but he doesn't want to be affected by that. In there are more important things to pay attention, and one fo those things is Cobalt.
Do you want to take a walk? Or do you want to come back? Both options are fine to me.
While he waited the Sparkling's reply, a comm message would be heard inside White's reah head.
White... you should not be around a dirty merc if you wan to stay safe, ok? This is the best I can do for you.
Maybe Rifle would look like a bastard. Even When he doesn't want to look like the bad guy,he does, but now he has a reason to act in such way. Everything he wish is to see Whiteclaw away from his own safety. And he had reason in that. As a mercenary, he has a dangerous life. Being hated by others by his job, Stealing, killing and doing unwanted things for some coins is now the life of Rifle, while Whiteclaw decided to choose an honest life free of cheating or killing.

We...
The sparkling sniffled,
...we can go for a walk.
Cobalt was beginning to stop crying, but he still felt quite melancholic. This world was just like his original parents had described, cruel, painful, dangerous. But there was comfort, Whiteclaw was right, Cobalt had White there for him. With a weak smile, he released the air around the holoform and gave some of the food he carried to the bunnies, throwing extra to those a bit further away that had waited patiently. Honestly, Cobalt did not judge White in any way, nor did he really judge the mercenary hiding. To Cobalt they were just mechs, and that there was no fault in them. This really was a broken philosophy, but honestly not too far off from the truth. Yes there were faults, but they were still beings and deserved all that was given to them, that including the mutual love he could read between them. Seemed that the sparkling was quite aware of emotion.

The old mech tried to reply the comm ,but seems the communication channel got blocked. He sighs and tries to relax for the safety of the sparkling. The avatar stopped to bug. Whiteclaw is getting more used to his hard light avatar.
Whiteclaw saw a silhouette so far away from him. It looks like a human. At least, its some 300 metters away from them. Now it's noon and some tourist had reached most of the island zones, maybe lost, or for their curiosity. Whiteclaw started to feel a bit worried, he has never been around humans in that way, and less using a human holoform.
Let's walk to another side, we dont have to disturb humans at all. And if some of them is walking towards us, just hide, and I'll try to get them away, ok? They are different than these rabbits, one of them can't hurt you, but many of them can, but that doesn't give us right to hurt them.
He attempted to pick Cobalt's servo with his semisolid body and leads him to a lonely path.

Cobalt heard White's words, "humans" that was familiar, he could have sworn that they were mentioned on the spacecraft his family had resided on in his previous megacycles. They were of some sort of importance, apparently enough to leave them be completely. So heeding his adoptive father's directions, Cobalt began walking away from the civilians, lightly shaking the rabbit food, occasionally feeding the rabbits that followed, still some tucked within a hug. The sparkling was definitely going to take as many as he could back to the Autobot base.
I can take these home, right White?
Cobalt asked in his youthful little voice, before another question sprung to mind, a bit more pressing to him.
Why are humans important?
This would be something that'd bug the sparkling for certain if left unanswered. To the point that Cobalt would probably become a pest if left to the winds. Probably in Whiteclaw's best interest to give a reply.

Take all of them; I don’t mind if you fill the room with them, if that makes you happy, I’ll be happy too! As long as you can feed and clean them. OK?
White’s avatar smiled at Cobalt. He never cared to live in a relative small room full of creatures. Even, this would make him happier. As a biologist, he could study them, but the true reason of his happiness is based of Cobalt’s happiness. Talking about the sparkling, he made an interesting question that White would try to answer.
All living forms are important, but recently humans have taken their place as a pseudocivilitation, or at least they call themselves as dominant race. Anyway, we don’t have the right to interrupt them, even if they doing everything in the right or the wrong way.
In there wasn’t a right answer to give, but that was the best think White could think at the moment. The eyes of the human holoform look sleepy. Since the real body of the mech is resting under the water, he would be in the perfect position to recharge. He mentioned being tired before to walk around the island, but he tried to stay awake.
Cobalt, do you feel tired? Because I do. Today has been a busy day to me.

Cobalt acknowledged the way White spoke and figured his expression was close enough to sleepiness by a cybertronian's terms. It was getting a little late by Cobalt's terms anyways, even if it was dawn here, Cobalt needs plenty of rest and is not adjusted to the Earth's day and night cycle. Going to recharge would be wonderful to the sparkling, to which he spoke of.
Yes, that sounds great daddy... we can head back if you want.
Cobalt looked to the avatar and smilied back, still toting quite a few rabbits and feeding more. They were almost all going to come back with him, as many as he could manage at least. Whatever the case, an infestation in the Autobot base was at hand.

Whiteclaw felt free to call from a ground bridge now knowing humans are away, yet. Usually he tries to be polite and ask to the autobots before to get inside their base, but now he has been enough time using their ground bridges, and apparently he has become a mech of confidence.
After some minutes of waiting the green vortex appears. White was so close to walk to the ground bridge, but he has forgotten he has been interacting with his avatar while his real body is some meters away.
Damn, I can’t use my real body right now. Cobalt, I promise I’ll come back later. Anyway, our room number is 26…. And in there must to be some energon cubes if you feel hungry, and you can use the radio to call me.
The mech falls asleep and the avatar finally disappeared, leaving the ground bridge to Cobalt.
