Transformation
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the transformers, Autobots and Decepticons, or their related movies, toys, cartoons or comics. Those are owned by the various powers that be; which do not include me…sigh.
I only own the characters of my own creation, for as long as they will allow it..
This is an alternate ending, if you will, although the ending is my beginning, based on the new movie. If you have not seen it, please do. It's not to be missed. I can't wait for the sequels. ( yes, Mr. Spielberg and Mr. Bay have confirmed, and most of the cast have signed on for two more ). Yay!
Chapter 1 : A Beginning
Sam Witwicky ran as if the very devil was chasing him, and perhaps he was; if the devil was a 30 foot, silver sentient alien robot, capable of massive destruction and an all consuming need to destroy all organic life on Earth; to recreate it in his image.
In Sam's hands, he held a cube, the All Spark, with strange hieroglyphic markings, that pulsated in strange colors. Blue, red, purple…blue, red, purple. A cube that could give life to any machines, creating new Autobots or Decepticons, depending on who had contral over it. If it could be controlled
Sharp, metallic claws appeared to the left side him; tearing up the street, catching frightened people, as well as cement and metal. He could hear the screams of the wounded and the moans of the dying. He dodged the debris as best he could, avoiding as many falling objects as he could
Don't think…don't listen...just run. Run, run, run…
Behind him, he could hear the battle being waged, and in his head he remembered Captain Lennox's last words to him, as he shoved the All Spark into his hands.
You're a soldier now.
He remembered Optimus Prime's words.
The fate of the world rest on you Samuel Witwicky.
He just had to get to the top of the building, where a Blackhawk helicopter would take him and the All Spark to a safe place. He just had to keep running, as fast as he could. He only had to outrun the very devil.
He could hear Megatron behind him; obsessed with possessing the All Spark. His followers fighting the Autobots; attempting to destroy them all.
God, I hope Bumblebee is ok. I hope Ratchet can fix him.
Sam tried to avoid falling debris, caused by the F-22 Raptor Jet Decepticon, whose name he did not know. He could swear it screamed as it launched missiles in the direction of the Autobots.
Please let Mikaela be safe somewhere, don't let her get hurt. Please protect her.
He could feel the smaller pieces of metal, glass and stone, cut his flesh and the smoke burning is nose and eyes.
Around him, he new the city was falling; being destroyed in what could only be described as an epic battle of good versus evil. The casualties would be high, the devastation beyond anything he could imagine, even if the good guys won.
Just run. Run. Run…
Run for my parents, run for Mikaela , run for Bumblebee and all the other Autobots, he now considered friends and allies.
Run because he was a soldier; for the Captain and his team, and even for Sector Seven.
Run for all the people in this city, that he didn't even know.
Run because it was the right thing to do.
Run because the world depended on him, a kid , that tried too hard to be something he wasn't, only to discover he was a hero at heart.
As he continued to run; his chest hurting, his breath short, his arms, legs and head hurting, from too much strainand fear, he saw a girl, about his age, just ahead. Frozen in place.
She stood there, on the sidewalk. Her eyes wide, her face pale, her mouth open. She seemed to be frightened and fascinated all at once.
He wanted to scream at her, to make her run, because he knew what was behind him; what was going to happen to her. But he was too out of breath, too focused on running, too focused at looking straight ahead. So focused he didn't see the typical street pothole that twisted his ankle and caused him to fall, face first.
As he fell, the All Spark flew from his hand, flew straight at the girl frozen on the sidewalk.
With breath and energy he didn't know he still had, he managed to shout, " Watch out!", to the girl.
For some reason, his shout caught her attention, and her eyes flickered in his direction. Her body turning slightly.
Spotting the All Spark flying towards her, straight at her chest, San saw the girl move her hands to protect herself and try to catch it, to prevent it from hitting her. But like a pro baseball player, she caught it.
Sam pushed himself up, preparing to run for her, when he heard Megatron, in his deep, vibrating voice. "Give it to me female fleshling and perhaps I will spare you.!"
He could see the girl was frozen again, and this time truly terrified.
No, no, no…I can't let him have the All Spark.
He heard her, gasping for breath, as if choking, saying over and over again, "I…I…I…".
Megatron drew closer to her, as Sam tried to reach her, almost as if to attempt to place himself in a non-threatening posture; too charm her.
The devil can charm, to get the soul he wants.
Just as he drew near, the F-22 Raptor Decepticon flew low, and launch a barrage of missiles, causing the building next to the girl to collapse.
The girl looked up, seeing the building coming down around her. She attempted to run away, but Megatron reached out with a clawed hand, and tried to grab her.
Instinctively, she jumped back, hugging the All Spark tightly to her chest, into the direct path of the collapsing building.
Sam heard Megatron scream at the F-22, as it flew by, "You overzealous fool Starscream."
Sam's last sight of the girl was seeing her realize her mistake, see the look on her face as the building came down upon her, seeing there was no way to stop her impending death.
Oh God, no!
He'd never seen someone die; not for real, not in such a horrible way. Sam felt like throwing up. To know people were dying around you, was different than actually seeing it happen right before your eyes.
Megatron began to dig at the rubble, attempting to get to the All Spark, obsessed with the power he could wield with it.
He had to do something, anything, to stop Megatron. To save the world and be the hero. Looking around, he saw only rubble.
Without thinking, he picked up the rocks and hurl them at Megatron. They bounced off and did little damage to the Decepticon leader. But after the rocks kept coming and coming, annoyed, he turned towards Sam, focusing on him.
"Enough, I have had enough of you pathetic humans."
Megatron rose, and reached for Sam, who found he was trapped, with nowhere to go, prepared to be crushed.
Closing his eyes, he thought of Mikeala, and tried to be brave, and pray for forgiveness for failing in his mission.
But before his life could pass before his eyes, Optimus Prime came out of nowhere, throwing himself full force into Megatron.
"No more brother!", Optimus Prime said, as he forced Megatron down. "I will not allow you bring about your twisted dream."
"No more than I will allow you to stop me, brother." Megatron reaplied with utter contempt in his voice. "You stopped me on Cybertron, but you will not stop me here!"
Sam saw metal fists fly, and alien lazer-like blasts. For beings so big, they were very agile and quick.
Optimus Prime threw Megatron into another building, causing it to sway. Megatron seeing Barricade coming up, shouted to him. "Get the All Spark; get it now!"
"Yes, Lord Megatron." Barricade turned towards the collapsed building, sensing the location of the All Spark.
Seeing this, Optimus Prime yelled to Ironhide. "Stop him, don't let him get the All Spark."
Just as Ironhide reached Barricade, a strange electrical current filled the air. Sam could feel it, as well as all the Autobots and Decepticons. They all froze and turned towards the collapsed building. Those Autobot and Deceptcons not present, when it all began, quickly appeared.
Sam could feel the current run through his body, and see the fine hairs on his arms stand up.
Wow, this is freaky in the extreme. Kinda like lightening is gonna strike.
He noticed that Optimus Prime and Megatron were separated, because one had thrown the other off, but still and staring at the same place, all the others were looking at; no longer fighting.
He felt hand on him, causing him to jump, sending a current of energy from him to the other person.
"Sam, you ok?" Mikaela asked, bending down to touch his face.
"Yeah, I guess. Not really sure." He looked at her. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, Bumblebee and I kicked bad robot ass."
He looked over and saw Bumblebee attached to the tow truck, turning to his side, to get a better look at The Spot of Wonder.
Mikaela helped him up, putting her arms under his shoulders and whispered, "What's going on?"
"I don't know, but they all seem to be frozen and staring at the same spot." He looked her in the eyes, upset. "It was terrible, I saw a girl die. She was holding the All Spark when it happened."
He pointed at the spot. "Right there, where they're all staring."
Noticing her look, he said, "I'll tell you later; if there is a later."
They held each other as close as they could. Holding on for dear life.
Just then, they both felt the ground beneath them rumble, and shake. Looking around, they could see it was not caused by either the Autobots or Decepticons; both who still seemed frozen in place.
Then a glow appeared from beneath the rubble of the collapsed building, where the All Spark was buried. The rubble rose up, swirling around, before flying out in all directions, and evaporating before hitting anyone or thing.
Sam covered Mikaela, prepared to protect her the best he could. When he noticed in the middle of the remaining debris stood a figure.
Hell no, it can't be…
Right there, before his eyes, stood the girl. The girl that should be dead; that couldn't possibly be alive. The girl that caught the All Spark.
She can't be. Impossible. Hey, wait, and she's naked?
But she was different. All over her body, from head to toe, her skin was covered in the same strange hieroglyphic marks of the All Spark. Her eyes swirled, red, then blue and purple. An invisible wind seemed to cause her hair, which seemed to glint with a hint of metal, around her head.
Looking around, the girl seemed to find all that had occurred interesting, but not surprising. She almost seem unaware of the giant robots around her.
Yeah, cause there so hard to overlook.
"Sam…" Mikaela whispered.
He rubbed her shoulder, still holding her close. "I don't know…"
Just then, Megatron rose up, and as quick as he could reached out to grab her, saying, "I don't know what has happened or how, but I'll take the All Spark, no matter the form"
Just as he would have grabbed her, and before Optimus Prime or any other could interfere, the girl flicked her left hand, not even looking at Megatron, and threw him over 100 feet way.
Megatron was incapacitated, down and out.
"No, I will not be used." The girl said in a quiet voice. "I will not be owned."
Starscream, swooped down, taking his robot form, and picked up Megatron. Within seconds, he was gone, taking flight with his leader.
The other Decepticons quickly disappeared, without being stopped by any of the Autobots.
I don't know if that was a good idea.
Optimus Prime knelt before the girl, who was no more than five feet tall, to his thirty feet. He seemed to bow his head to her.
"All Spark?", he asked; not truly sure.
The girl looked up at him, and smiled. "Yes and no. I am she, she is me. We are one, but not."
"How?", he questioned.
"Unclear, but it seems the human had a mechanical device in her, that I was able to merge with, causing our fusion."
"Is it reversible?"
"Unclear." The All Spark girl answered. "Perhaps it is time for me to change, become new, to renew."
The All Spark girl looked around her, and noticing the injuries to the Autobots, walked to each one and touched them, healed them, including Bumblebee and his legs, restoring his voice.
Bumblebees first words were, "Did we win?"
Optimus replied in a war weary voice, "The battles only begun."
Looking around, Optimus Prime noticed one of his soldiers was missing and asked, "Where's Jazz?"
Ratchet looked down, not sure how to say it, but decided to state the facts, "Destroyed, by Megatron himself."
If Autobots could cry, Optimus Prime would be shedding tears for his fallen second-in-command.
Looking at his two human friends, he asked, "Are you both ok?"
Sam and Mikaela looked at themselves and each other. Mikaela said, "Yeah, under the circumstances."
Optimus Prime nodded, and looked back at the All Spark girl. He reached for her, but before he could touch her; there was a flash, and before there eyes, stood an ordinary, frighten and still very naked human girl.
"Wha..what happened…", she looked around. "What's going on? What are y…"
Before she could complete her final question, her eyes rolled back into her head and she passed out.
Ratchet quickly canned her, and told Optimus Prime, "She is healthy. In fact, for a human, she is functioning at higher levels than a human, even in perfect health, should be."
He scanned her again. "There are biological changes to her; she is no longer truly human, but neither is she like us. Without running additional test, I can only speculate she is now a hybrid of sorts."
Optimus Prime shifted into his semi-truck form, and said, "Ironhide place her inside my cab. I'll transport her to our pre-designated safe place."
Ironhide completed his task and Optimus Prime drove off, just as Captain Lennox appeared, with his remaining team.
"What the hell happened?", he demanded.
Mikaela and Sam looked at each other and shrugged, before running over to Bumblebee, now in car form, and jumping inside. The yellow corvette took off before his doors had a chance to close.
The other Autobots transformed into their vehicular forms and took off, just as quickly.
Captain Lennox looked around, and muttered under his breath, "Damn."
She knew she was being driven somewhere, but she didn't know where she was at, or how she got there.
She felt the vibration of movement, and knew ishe was in a large vehicle.. An ambulance, perhaps?
Where am I?
Shouldn't I be dead?
I think I should be dead?
Why do I feel different; strange, but alive?
I am with you now.
Who are you?
I am you.
No, I am me, you are someone, something else.
I am a part of you now. We are one.
Who are you, please, do you have a name?
No, I have no name, but others have given me such.
What is it?
All Spark.
And you are in me? Can you leave?
Unknown, we have merged completely. We are now one.
Kristy.
Unclear of Kristy.
My name; it's Kristy.
Kristy, we are one, we are All Spark…
End Chapter One.
Like it, hate it, well please review it. I intend to throw some romance Kristy/All Spark's way, but it's gotta be an Autobot, but which one? Hmmmmmm, I favor Optimus Prime. It's the voice and leader thing he has working for him.
I'll try to update soon, but I have to work out the plot a little more and deal with the things that ordinary life likes to send my way.
