If it weren't for music, I'd don't know what I'll do with my life,honestly. I have a whole idea of what'll happen in my story,The Struggle, in the future. This is a little one-shot I thought of one day. All the characters excpt for Strongarm,Bumblebee,and Megatron are mine to call. Sorry if I make spelling mistakes. Note:Megatron is in his old form before Beast Wars and Unicron took over his mind and body.
Abandon Underground Bomb Shelter outside of Reno, Nevada 11:38 p.m.Third Person Omnicient(Third Person O,to me)
"I can't believe Mom finally let me spend the night with you bots!" Sam exclaimed. Sam was never a true city girl,infact, she was born to be an adventurer. She had almond brown hair in a braid going down across her left shoulder with bright blue eyes that sparkled framed by cyan and purple glasses. She played football with the big boys in 8th grade for her school. She was slim and muscler. Also headstrong by miles into space,but was a nerd for science,espacially Geology and Astronomy.
"I don't think I'll get my systems check on the scanners tonight with you jamming on your gutair and singing as loud as you can." Strongarm stated,hoping to send a message. She had matured greatly ever since the Auto-Con war. Of course, that was because Sideswipe was out of her grill and she was a trained medic by Ratchet halfway during the war.
"I think it'll be rather fun. It's not very often we get to have a 'girls night',in your words, Sam." Radioactive threw out. She was the leader of the team that had been stationed on Earth for 2 years. The decepticons had recently followed the Autobots and knew very little about this planet.
"Ta-hoe out." An orange and white stripped mech mic-dropped and walked to the training areana.
"Don't want to know what you femmes talk about." Cyber added and followed his twin,except Cyber was white with two orange stripes.
"I wouldn't go so far, the scanners have picked up two unidentified signals just outside of Crown City." Strongarm called. "Wait,four,five,seven...seven signals. And an Autobot in the area. My scanners must be malfunctionig. Unless..."
"Armstrong, what are you thinking?" Radioactive asked.
"It's probably not him. We locked him in stasis centuries ago.'' She told. Then added, "Be cautious if it is,though." She set ground bridge coordanites and a portal appeared. Radioactive,Cyber,Jetstream,and Ta-hoe transformed and sped through the portal.
"Sooo...whatcha want to do?" Sam hopped down onto the keyboard. "How about we tell stories! You still haven't told me where you got that scar." She pointed where the human diaphrame would be on Strongarm.
"It's nothing important you need to know." Strongarm said.
"You always say that." Sam complained. "I'll make you a deal,if you tell me the story...then I won't play anything that'll break the scanners again."
Strongarm thought about it. Sam won't stop asking intill I tell her, and if I refuse she'll break the scanners again. Another trip to the past couldn't hurt,could it? "Alright,only if you don't play anything that'll break the scanners."
"Yes!" Sam hopped into Strongarm's hand and sat down cross-legged.
"Alright,you know the con I was talking about saying we put him in stasis centuries ago?" Sam nodded. "Well, one day I died of plague."
"Wow,real funny. What's the real story?" Sam asked sarcasticlly.
Strongarm shot her a look that said 'be queit or I won't tell'. "Thisis the real story,Sam. So like I said,I died. How am I standing here,you ask? Well, Primus brought me back to life with a warning. I drove to our base at the time as fast as I could,hoping the team wasn't torn to bits. I got to the command center and heard fighting going on at the stasis pods. I ran and found a decepticon team,that we called Steeljaw's pack, fighting with our team. Steeljaw,he resembles an Earth wolf just so you know, pinned my comanding officer,Bumblebee, on the ground. He raised a paw with his claws unsheathed, and just before he brought it down...can you guessed what I did?"
"I bet you punched his lights out." Sam demonstrated. "But,wouldn't your leg injury keep you out from the field?"
"This was before my injury. I was a cadet last time I was on Earth." Strongarm continued. "You were close, I came down on his head with a sidekick hoping to knock his lights out. I smirked at him and said, 'boo-yah!' We charged at eachother and just as I brought my hammer around,he sunk his unsheathed claws into my mid-section. Knockout said I was lucky to be online."
Sam looked up at her. "Hammer?" Strongarm reached back and pulled her decepticon hunter out. It transformed into an Electro-magnetic Spark Hammer. "Woah! It's true!" Sam looked at the hammer with bugged out eyes. "You know what this mood needs? Some old rock-pop style music!" She jumped down and grabbed her gutair and microphone. "Any song requests?"
Strongarm turned around to moniter the scanners. Anybot could go offline in a snap. The 7 weird signals,the autobot signal, Ta-hoe,Jetstream,Cyber, and-
Sam started singing.
Du du du-du, du du du-du
du du du-du,du du du-du
Du du...
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me,
Remember me for Centuries
And just on mistake,
is all it will take,
We'll go down in history
Remember me for Centuries.
He-e-e-ey ya,oh He-e-e-ey ya
He-e-e-ey ya,
Remember me for Centuries
Strongarm tensed.
*Flashback*
Come on, Strongarm. Cybertron is counting on you to stop Megatron from starting another war. Everyone is behind too far or critically injured.
She charged at Megatron and fired a spark. Whelp, that got his attenion. He looked in her eyes for a few seconds before raising his cannon. She stood paralyzed. Move!! Gotta move before he gets me. Woah!! Someome pushed her out of the way and they both ducked for cover. "*sigh* Thanks, you saved my spark back there." She turned to face him. It can't be!
"No problem,Strongarm." He looked at me. "What, never been almost killed by a decepticon?"
*End*
Mummified my teenage dreams
No,it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The story's all off
Heavy metal broke my..heart
Come on,come on amd let me in
The bruises on your thighs are like my finger prints
And this is supposed to match
The darkness you felt
I never ment for you to fix yourself
Du du du-du, du du du-du,
du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
Just one mistake
is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-ey ya, oh he-e-ey ya, he-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries
I can't stop till the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there's a light,my shadow's over you
Cause I,I am the opposite of amnesia
You're a cherry bollosm
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty but you're gone so soon
Du du du-du,du du du-du,
du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...
Strongarm turned to look at Sam. Remember me for centuries, he said. This is our song, I didn't know Fallout Boy music was still active centuries later, she thought. She turned back to the screen and looked down. She started singing along very,very quietly.
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for cenuries
And just one mistake
is all it will take
we'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
":Armstrong,we need a bridge.:" Radioactive commed. ":And prepare the medical bay,Ta-hoe's injured badly.:" Strongarm set bridge and ran to get her medical supplies.
He-e-ey ya,oh he-e-ey, he-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries
We've been her forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisend youth
Du du du-du,du du du-du,
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...
Strongarm went back into the command center. The ground bridge closed as Cyber came through with Ta-hoe leaning on him with heavy energon leaking."Medical Bay!" She commanded. Someone was singing along with Sam.
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
Just one little mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-ey ya,oh he-e-ey, he-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries
Strongarm looked at who was singing along. She stood there shocked as Cyber went by with Ta-hoe to the medical bay.
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
(End)
"Hey, you're back." Sam looked around. ''Who's that?" Strongarm shook out of her daze.
"I'll explain later, Sam. Ta-hoe's injured." She ran down to the medical bay to patch him up.
"Hi, I'm Sam." Sam stuck her hand up for the Autobot to shake. "I'm the raddest,baddest, and nerdiest person rolled into one you'll ever meet, uh.."
"Bumblebee." Bumblebee took her hand in two fingers.
"Hey, your Strongarm's comanding officer when she was still a cadet." Sam stated. "She told me how she got her scar before I played Centuries by Fallout Boy. By the way, you've got an amazing singing voice. Want to duet sometime?"
Bumblebee knelt closer to Sam. "I'll tell you a little secrect. Centuries is Strongarm and my song. It started by me telling her 'remember me for centuries' before the war."
"So you mean you two are married?" Sam pryed.
"In human terms, yes.Keep this between us,okay?" Bumblebee stood and went to talk with Jetstream.
So that explains why Strongarm wears that tire rim around her left ring finger all the time. She's married to her old commanding officer! How sweet... Sam thought.
Hope y'all enjoyed. I don't mind if you use ideas from my different stories or draw art about them. Be on the lookout for updates to The Struggle. This is a band I suggest you listen to if you like rock or pop music. Fallout Boy and Imagine Dragons... ;}
