Disclaimer- I do not own Transformers Armada or any of the characters, I
only own Max Zordan.
Authors note- This is my first shot at a fan-fic. I REALLY don't know how this is going to turn out but I've been toying with this idea for quite a while now. Flame or praise if you want, it's your opinion and you should be able to express it.
Anyway, review and tell me if this is crap or not, I really need some people's opinions.

Three Bonded Forms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1- The First Form.
Maxine Zordan rode her BMX at top speed through the trees, dodging some by inches.
'Gotta find the cave, Gotta find the cave' She chanted in her head as thunder boomed almost directly above her. A freak storm had blown in about ½ an hour after Max had passed over the river, the bridge would be flooded by now.
She skidded to a stop in-front of a dark cave, "YES!!!" She yelled just before a tree less than 10 meters behind her was struck by lightning. *BOOM!!!* The sound of thunder nearly deafened Max and she fell backwards while her bike toppled away from her.
"Yay, what next?" Max asked herself about a second before a huge smoking tree branch decided to crush her bike. She stared at the broken BMX for a second, "O...K, I'm going to shut up now..."
Max scrambled inside the cave and went to a wooden box in the back corner, inside was a sleeping bag, torch, an old cell phone and some food.
She pulled out the cell and punched in some numbers, "Hi, It's Max... Sorry, but I can't make it... alright, I'll see you some other time... bye."
Max looked at her watch, it read 10:30. She sighed and pulled out the sleeping bag, "This should be fun," She said to herself, voice practically dripping with sarcasm, "And great, I'm talking to myself!" she added before lying down to go to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning Max woke up at around 7:30, packed up her supply box and went to scope out the wreckage of her bike and discovered... it was totally trashed. She didn't waste time mourning over the loss of her bike, and walked in the direction she was first heading before the storm came.
Max would have had to be walking for about an hour when she noticed a green light coming from beneath the leaves about 3 meters away from the track.
'Strange' she thought as she walked towards it, Max's feet would've had to have been less than 30 cm away from the light when she felt the ground give way beneath her. 'Oh crap' Was all Max had time to think before she dropped towards the source of the light.
The fall was about 100 ft, lucky for Max she landed in a deep pool of water. She swam to the side, checked out her surroundings and immediately spotted the source of the bright green light.
A tall rocky pillar stood out of the water about 30 ft tall, wedged in the rock near the top was a glowing green thing. Max swam to the pillar and began ascending towards the artefact, about halfway up she lost her footing and was only holding on with one hand. When she reached the top she knelt down in front of the panel and yanked it from the rock, it looked like it had been cleanly cut in half. (A/N- Only half a minicon panel) Max traced her finger over the partial M, the panel began to glow brightly then emitted a vortex of light that engulfed the teenage girl, making it impossible for her to see over the blinding light.
She felt herself rise of the pillar slowly towards the forest floor, as soon as her feet were planted on the ground Max pretty much collapsed in shock. 'Note to self,' she thought as she pushed herself off the ground, 'Don't touch anything that glows again.'
Max rubbed the dirt from her face with one hand then went to brush off that dirt with her other, "WHAT THE!!!???" she yelled, gawking at her right arm which was now metallic, Max looked down at her body, "AAAAHHHH!!!!!"
Max jumped back as if to escape what she was seeing, tripped over a branch and landed on her backside, one of her legs along with that half of her body was normal, yet the other was somehow made of metal with white and purple armour.
'NO!!! Make me normal, MAKE ME NORMAL!!!' she thought, closing her eyes. A blinding light shone around her and when Max re-opened her eyes. the right side of her body had returned to normal.
Max calmed herself, 'Righteo,' she thought, getting up off the ground once again, 'Now, unless I'm crazy I was just half robot then fully human, I KNOW I'm not crazy, so let's try something.'
She closed her eyes again, trying to picture herself being fully robotic, 'Robot, Robot, Robot...' she chanted in her head. Once again she saw a bright light through her eyelids and when she opened them she was a white and purple robot with wings.
"Right on!" She yelled, quickly over her shock.
Meanwhile- at the Autobot base.
*VROOM!!!*--*VROOM!!!*
Carlos, Rad and Alexis's hair and clothes blew in the force caused by the purple blurr zooming past them followed closely by another yellow blurr.
"Eat my dust Hot Shot!" Sideways yelled.
"Eat it yourself Sideways, you're going slow enough!" Hot Shot yelled back and sped alongside the purple mech.
Both bots had completed 3 laps around a track that had been set up inside a cargo room. The race challenge had been put up when the two bots were having a heated disagreement on which was faster, bikes or cars.
Sideways and Hotshot were about 200 meters from the finish line when a loud alarm sounded, causing both bots to veer off course, transform, and fall into a tangled heap, rolling across the finish together.
The two started swearing and picked themselves up from the ground while Carlos, Rad and Alexis ran towards them, "You dudes alright?" Carlos asked.
Sideways grunted a yes and Hot Shot grinned and gave them a thumbs up, all 5 of them ran to the control room where all the other Autobots were already gathered.
(A/N- I've left Billy and Fred out of this because personally... I don't really like them)
"Alright men, now that you all are here," Optimus started, glancing straight at Hot Shot and Sideways, "We just detected a minicon signal in a forest about 50 miles from here, it was extremely faint so we may get lucky and the Decepticons possibly might not receive it. But it is still important to-"
Optimus was interrupted when, to put it simply, the computer chucked a spaz and a huge signal came from the minicon's location.
"You know what?... I'm fairly sure that the Decepticons would have picked that up," Hot Shot said, "Although you MAY want to get another opinion on it." He added sarcastically.
"Quickly men! We have to get that minicon before the Decepticons do!" Optimus said, causing everyone to race towards the warp room. The kids 'suited up' and jumped into various vehicles once they had all transformed.
"Let's MOVE OUT!" Optimus yelled as the warp gate activated.
Max checked out her new look, 'This ROCKS! Although, I wish I had some weapons or something...' she thought, and as if responding to her request, her right forearm began to glow and a blaster formed on it.
"O.k, now this MEGA ROCKS!" She exclaimed out loud, "Better put it away now, don't want to destroy anything... yet." She concentrated for a second and the blaster melted back to her normal robotic arm.
Max walked next to an extremely tall tree, 'Now, let's test these legs out.' She thought and bent her knees, ready to jump. She leaped up as far as she could and to her amazement landed softly on a branch about 10 meters high, Max jumped another 10 meters then looked back down.
'Well, here goes.' She thought, ran to the end of the thick branch, leapt off and fell towards the ground. (A/N- Naturally) The girl/robot only received a small shock but she barely even noticed it, Max heard a strange, soft noise coming behind her and spun around. A glowing purple... thing had appeared in the clearing she was on the edge off, Max dove behind a bush just as a huge purple and green robot with horns appeared from it.
The robot glanced around the clearing as 4 other huge robots appeared behind it, "Spread out and look for that minicon!" The first robot yelled.
"Yes Megatron Sir!" The others said together and went in separate directions.
'Megatron huh? Well, first stupid mission for today, find all their names... what on earth is a minicon?' Max thought as she crept out of the bush and began silently following the red and white robot with wings. When they got to the first big clearing the robot stood in the middle and yelled "Transform!"
Max watched in awe as the robot 'folded' up into a jet then flew above the forest out of her view, "Damn," she cursed, "Oh well, better find the next one." Suddenly there was the sound of laser fire not to far from where she was situated, the femme (A/N- Femme replaces girl now cause she's a bot) naturally ran in the direction of the noise.
Max was forced to stop, nearly falling over... again, when a huge yellow bot stepped in front of her, she began to walk backwards then spun around and sprinted away.
"Wait! I'm not gonna hurt ya!" The yellow robot yelled, Max stopped and spun around to face him.
"Eerm, Who are you?" She asked, looking up into his smiling face.
"The name's Hot Shot," He answered, "I'm with the Autobots." Suddenly Hot Shot had a surprised look on his face, "Wait... you can talk?"
"Yeah, so can you, is that a problem?"
Hot Shot scratched the back of his head, "Well, no... not really, it's just usually minicons communicate with beeps and stuff."
Max looked confused, "What does the way a minicon talk have to do with me?" she asked.
A shocked look spread across Hot Shot's face, "Because... you ARE a minicon, aren't you?"
Max suddenly realised her mistake, 'Minicon must be like a mini robot or something... which is what I look like... oh crap.' She thought, then smiled at Hot Shot.
"Yes, I am a minicon," She said, "I just learned how to talk normally and now I find it easier."--- 'Oh yeah, he is sooo gonna buy that.' She thought sarcastically.
"O.k, that makes sense." Hot Shot replied, Max fell over- Anime style, "Quick, I'd better get you back to Optimus before the Decepticons come." He added.
Once again Max was confused, "Decepticons? What are they?" She asked.
Hot Shot looked surprised, "They're the bad guys, I thought every minicon knew that."
"I... Eerm... It's hard to explain, so you're with the good guys?"
"Yep," He replied, grinning and pointed at the red logo on his shoulder, "The Autobots."
Max nodded to show she understood, "So those dudes with the purple logo must be Decepticons right?"
"Did you see them?!" He asked, looking even more surprised than before.
"Yeah, one was called Megatron, then I followed one of them."
Hot Shot looked stunned, "You FOLLOWED them!?"
"Yes... is that a bad thing?" she enquired then froze as she remembered something, "Wait... is the minicon you're all looking for... is it me?"
"Well who else would it be, I don't see any others around here, do you?" Hot Shot answered, with a hint of amusement in his voice.
Max smiled, "No," she said, "I guess if you're with the good guys I'll go with you."
"Good choice," He said, grinning, "Follow me." And he turned to walk down a path to their right, suddenly Max heard a noise behind her and before she or Hot Shot could turn around, a huuuuge metal hand wrapped itself tightly around Max's body and lifted her from the ground.
Max struggled in the grip of the red and white Decepticon she had followed earlier, Hot Shot looked at him with loathing, "Put her down Starscream!" he spat at the Decepticon, then ran at him with a large blue sword, but Starscream was to quick for him and folded out his left wing to form another sword.
"I don't think so." Starscream said, blocking Hot Shot's attack, "This minicon's mine now."
"WADDA YOU MEAN I'M YOURS!" Max yelled at him, furious for being treated like an object, Starscream looked partially surprised at her outburst.
"You can talk, interesting." He said, smirking at her.
"Yeah," Max said sarcastically, "Want to see something else interesting?" She then freed one arm and pointed it at Starscream's wrist with her fist closed.
"Oohh, scary, was that supposed to hurt?"
Max smiled as her arm glowed as the blaster formed from it, "No, but this will."
The shot was perfect, hitting the point in Starscream's wrist causing him to yell out and drop Max, the femme landed softly and ran over to Hot Shot.
"You'll pay for that!" Starscream growled as his minicon attached onto him and a pair of cannon type things (A/N- I lacked creative thought here) folded over his shoulders and pointed straight at Hot Shot and Max. Max was frozen in place as an enormous laser blast came straight for her, Hot Shot snatched her up and dove through some trees and into a huge clearing.
Max fell away from him and rolled several meters, she stood up somewhat dizzy but quickly shook it off when she saw the 2 groups of robots about 100 meters away from her. 'They must be the other Autobots' Max thought, then noticed two human kids with them, a brown haired girl and a dark blond haired boy 'Why are they here? Wait... I think I've seen them before.'
Suddenly a loud yell of pain reached Max's 'ears' and she noticed another human in Megatron's grip.
"Let him go Megatron!" The robot that looked like the leader of the Autobots yelled,
'That must be Optimus' Max thought remembering that Hot Shot had mentioned him before.
"I don't think so." Megatron answered in a voice that sent chills down Max's 'spine' (A/N- I'll still use human references... cause I don't know what else to use...)
"Give me the minicon and you get the brat."
It suddenly dawned on Max, 'S@#T! That kid is getting hurt because of me!'
"We don't have the minicon yet!" Optimus said.
Max couldn't take it anymore, she ran towards the robots, "PUT HIM DOWN YOU OVERGROWN TRASHCAN!" she yelled, drawing all the bot's attention to her.
Megatron got over his astonishment rather quickly, "A minicon with attitude," He remarked, smirking, "Well, how about you come here and I might consider giving this kid back."
The human Megatron was holding suddenly yelled out "NO! Stay back! You can't trust him!"
Megatron glared at him, "You'll be quiet if you value your life." He growled and gripped him tighter, the boy screamed out again.
"Put him down NOW!" Max yelled, forming the blaster on her arm and pointing it straight at Megatron's face.
The huge bot just laughed, "You fire that and I'll crush him," he said, "But I'll hand him right over to those scum if you serve us."
Max morphed the blaster back into her arm and stepped forward, "Put him on the ground." She demanded, but secretly signalled to Hot Shot behind her back, he noticed it, Max was making a gun shape with her thumb and index finger then curling her fist into a ball and pointing at her wrist. He understood and slowly reached for his gun.
Megatron thought for a second, "Alright," He agreed then placed the fist holding the human on the ground but didn't loosen his grip, "Now, come here."
Max took a couple of steps forward then suddenly signalled to Hot Shot who pulled out his gun the rest of the way and shot at Megatron's wrist, the shot was accurate and Megatron, not expecting it, immediately let go of the boy.
Max rushed forward, grabbed the boy around his waist and quickly pulled him towards the Autobots who were already pelting the Decepticons with laser fire, she took the boy over to the other humans and sat him down next to them.
"Carlos, are you ok?" the brown haired girl asked, kneeling next to him, the blond boy did the same.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he said then looked up at Max, "Thanks amigo."
Max smiled, "Don't mention it."
The Decepticons were getting absolutely trashed on, Megatron noticed this also because after a last glare in Max's direction he yelled "Decepticons retreat!" and suddenly all of them disappeared.
Max looked around her, "Where did they go?" She asked the kids.
"They warped back to their base." The blond haired boy answered, then offered his hand for Max to shake, "I'm Rad and these two," he said, motioning to the brown haired girl and the dark boy, "are Alexis and Carlos, what's your name?"
"Max," she said just as the Autobots came around them.
"Well Max," Optimus said, "Welcome to the team, this is Red Alert," He said, motioning to a serious looking blue and white robot, "Smokescreen," pointing to an Orange robot with a large crane attached to his shoulder, "Sideways," pointing to a purple bot with horn things on his helmet and a pair of wheels on his back, "I believe you have already met Hot Shot," The yellow bot grinned at her, "And I am Optimus Prime." He finished.
Max was beginning to get nervous, "Nice to meet you all," She said, "So... where to now?"
"We go back to the base, you can travel with me," Optimus said and then changed into a red truck, "It's about 10 kilometres to the warp gate."
Max climbed inside and they began to drive off, 'I think I can trust him...' Max thought, "Optimus, you probably won't believe me when I tell you this but..." the femme started.
"Tell me what?" Optimus asked gently.
"Well..." Max continued then proceeded to tell him about what had happened in the past 12 hours, then changed into a human to show Optimus she wasn't lying.
"Well, that does explain the type of signal we received," He began, "If you only found half a panel there must be another half somewhere... It might be best to wait for a better moment to tell the other Autobots about this."
Max agreed then changed back into minicon mode, "I like this form better anyway." She stated, Optimus chuckled. "We have reached the warp gate, brace yourself."
"Why?" Max asked but found out soon enough when she suddenly had a strange feeling she was being stretched, almost immediately they were in a huge metal room, Max jumped out of Optimus and he transformed into robot mode along with all the others.
"Where are we?" Max asked Rad who had been travelling with Hot Shot.
"The Autobot's base in Science City, it's our home town." Rad replied.
Max suddenly realised where she had seen the kids before 'Oh man, I live in Science City too, they must go to the middle school!' she thought.
After the kids had shown her around the base it was about 11 pm, Rad Alexis and Carlos were sleeping at the base, Optimus took Max into a room where he said she should 'recharge'.
"Umm, and I do that... how?" Max asked.
"Just lay down there and soon you will do what humans call sleep." He answered then left the room.
Max looked at the table thing, 'This had better not hurt.' She thought and then lay down flat, it was surprisingly comfortably and Max straight away felt very tired. She suddenly remembered before her optics flickered off, 'damn, I failed today's stupid mission'.
O.k, that's the first chapter done, if you liked please review, if you hated please review. I would really like people to tell me if they hated something, or if they hated the entire thing.
I don't know... I read back and it sounds kind of crappy... please tell me what you think. Thx.
Authors note- This is my first shot at a fan-fic. I REALLY don't know how this is going to turn out but I've been toying with this idea for quite a while now. Flame or praise if you want, it's your opinion and you should be able to express it.
Anyway, review and tell me if this is crap or not, I really need some people's opinions.

Three Bonded Forms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1- The First Form.
Maxine Zordan rode her BMX at top speed through the trees, dodging some by inches.
'Gotta find the cave, Gotta find the cave' She chanted in her head as thunder boomed almost directly above her. A freak storm had blown in about ½ an hour after Max had passed over the river, the bridge would be flooded by now.
She skidded to a stop in-front of a dark cave, "YES!!!" She yelled just before a tree less than 10 meters behind her was struck by lightning. *BOOM!!!* The sound of thunder nearly deafened Max and she fell backwards while her bike toppled away from her.
"Yay, what next?" Max asked herself about a second before a huge smoking tree branch decided to crush her bike. She stared at the broken BMX for a second, "O...K, I'm going to shut up now..."
Max scrambled inside the cave and went to a wooden box in the back corner, inside was a sleeping bag, torch, an old cell phone and some food.
She pulled out the cell and punched in some numbers, "Hi, It's Max... Sorry, but I can't make it... alright, I'll see you some other time... bye."
Max looked at her watch, it read 10:30. She sighed and pulled out the sleeping bag, "This should be fun," She said to herself, voice practically dripping with sarcasm, "And great, I'm talking to myself!" she added before lying down to go to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning Max woke up at around 7:30, packed up her supply box and went to scope out the wreckage of her bike and discovered... it was totally trashed. She didn't waste time mourning over the loss of her bike, and walked in the direction she was first heading before the storm came.
Max would have had to be walking for about an hour when she noticed a green light coming from beneath the leaves about 3 meters away from the track.
'Strange' she thought as she walked towards it, Max's feet would've had to have been less than 30 cm away from the light when she felt the ground give way beneath her. 'Oh crap' Was all Max had time to think before she dropped towards the source of the light.
The fall was about 100 ft, lucky for Max she landed in a deep pool of water. She swam to the side, checked out her surroundings and immediately spotted the source of the bright green light.
A tall rocky pillar stood out of the water about 30 ft tall, wedged in the rock near the top was a glowing green thing. Max swam to the pillar and began ascending towards the artefact, about halfway up she lost her footing and was only holding on with one hand. When she reached the top she knelt down in front of the panel and yanked it from the rock, it looked like it had been cleanly cut in half. (A/N- Only half a minicon panel) Max traced her finger over the partial M, the panel began to glow brightly then emitted a vortex of light that engulfed the teenage girl, making it impossible for her to see over the blinding light.
She felt herself rise of the pillar slowly towards the forest floor, as soon as her feet were planted on the ground Max pretty much collapsed in shock. 'Note to self,' she thought as she pushed herself off the ground, 'Don't touch anything that glows again.'
Max rubbed the dirt from her face with one hand then went to brush off that dirt with her other, "WHAT THE!!!???" she yelled, gawking at her right arm which was now metallic, Max looked down at her body, "AAAAHHHH!!!!!"
Max jumped back as if to escape what she was seeing, tripped over a branch and landed on her backside, one of her legs along with that half of her body was normal, yet the other was somehow made of metal with white and purple armour.
'NO!!! Make me normal, MAKE ME NORMAL!!!' she thought, closing her eyes. A blinding light shone around her and when Max re-opened her eyes. the right side of her body had returned to normal.
Max calmed herself, 'Righteo,' she thought, getting up off the ground once again, 'Now, unless I'm crazy I was just half robot then fully human, I KNOW I'm not crazy, so let's try something.'
She closed her eyes again, trying to picture herself being fully robotic, 'Robot, Robot, Robot...' she chanted in her head. Once again she saw a bright light through her eyelids and when she opened them she was a white and purple robot with wings.
"Right on!" She yelled, quickly over her shock.
Meanwhile- at the Autobot base.
*VROOM!!!*--*VROOM!!!*
Carlos, Rad and Alexis's hair and clothes blew in the force caused by the purple blurr zooming past them followed closely by another yellow blurr.
"Eat my dust Hot Shot!" Sideways yelled.
"Eat it yourself Sideways, you're going slow enough!" Hot Shot yelled back and sped alongside the purple mech.
Both bots had completed 3 laps around a track that had been set up inside a cargo room. The race challenge had been put up when the two bots were having a heated disagreement on which was faster, bikes or cars.
Sideways and Hotshot were about 200 meters from the finish line when a loud alarm sounded, causing both bots to veer off course, transform, and fall into a tangled heap, rolling across the finish together.
The two started swearing and picked themselves up from the ground while Carlos, Rad and Alexis ran towards them, "You dudes alright?" Carlos asked.
Sideways grunted a yes and Hot Shot grinned and gave them a thumbs up, all 5 of them ran to the control room where all the other Autobots were already gathered.
(A/N- I've left Billy and Fred out of this because personally... I don't really like them)
"Alright men, now that you all are here," Optimus started, glancing straight at Hot Shot and Sideways, "We just detected a minicon signal in a forest about 50 miles from here, it was extremely faint so we may get lucky and the Decepticons possibly might not receive it. But it is still important to-"
Optimus was interrupted when, to put it simply, the computer chucked a spaz and a huge signal came from the minicon's location.
"You know what?... I'm fairly sure that the Decepticons would have picked that up," Hot Shot said, "Although you MAY want to get another opinion on it." He added sarcastically.
"Quickly men! We have to get that minicon before the Decepticons do!" Optimus said, causing everyone to race towards the warp room. The kids 'suited up' and jumped into various vehicles once they had all transformed.
"Let's MOVE OUT!" Optimus yelled as the warp gate activated.
Max checked out her new look, 'This ROCKS! Although, I wish I had some weapons or something...' she thought, and as if responding to her request, her right forearm began to glow and a blaster formed on it.
"O.k, now this MEGA ROCKS!" She exclaimed out loud, "Better put it away now, don't want to destroy anything... yet." She concentrated for a second and the blaster melted back to her normal robotic arm.
Max walked next to an extremely tall tree, 'Now, let's test these legs out.' She thought and bent her knees, ready to jump. She leaped up as far as she could and to her amazement landed softly on a branch about 10 meters high, Max jumped another 10 meters then looked back down.
'Well, here goes.' She thought, ran to the end of the thick branch, leapt off and fell towards the ground. (A/N- Naturally) The girl/robot only received a small shock but she barely even noticed it, Max heard a strange, soft noise coming behind her and spun around. A glowing purple... thing had appeared in the clearing she was on the edge off, Max dove behind a bush just as a huge purple and green robot with horns appeared from it.
The robot glanced around the clearing as 4 other huge robots appeared behind it, "Spread out and look for that minicon!" The first robot yelled.
"Yes Megatron Sir!" The others said together and went in separate directions.
'Megatron huh? Well, first stupid mission for today, find all their names... what on earth is a minicon?' Max thought as she crept out of the bush and began silently following the red and white robot with wings. When they got to the first big clearing the robot stood in the middle and yelled "Transform!"
Max watched in awe as the robot 'folded' up into a jet then flew above the forest out of her view, "Damn," she cursed, "Oh well, better find the next one." Suddenly there was the sound of laser fire not to far from where she was situated, the femme (A/N- Femme replaces girl now cause she's a bot) naturally ran in the direction of the noise.
Max was forced to stop, nearly falling over... again, when a huge yellow bot stepped in front of her, she began to walk backwards then spun around and sprinted away.
"Wait! I'm not gonna hurt ya!" The yellow robot yelled, Max stopped and spun around to face him.
"Eerm, Who are you?" She asked, looking up into his smiling face.
"The name's Hot Shot," He answered, "I'm with the Autobots." Suddenly Hot Shot had a surprised look on his face, "Wait... you can talk?"
"Yeah, so can you, is that a problem?"
Hot Shot scratched the back of his head, "Well, no... not really, it's just usually minicons communicate with beeps and stuff."
Max looked confused, "What does the way a minicon talk have to do with me?" she asked.
A shocked look spread across Hot Shot's face, "Because... you ARE a minicon, aren't you?"
Max suddenly realised her mistake, 'Minicon must be like a mini robot or something... which is what I look like... oh crap.' She thought, then smiled at Hot Shot.
"Yes, I am a minicon," She said, "I just learned how to talk normally and now I find it easier."--- 'Oh yeah, he is sooo gonna buy that.' She thought sarcastically.
"O.k, that makes sense." Hot Shot replied, Max fell over- Anime style, "Quick, I'd better get you back to Optimus before the Decepticons come." He added.
Once again Max was confused, "Decepticons? What are they?" She asked.
Hot Shot looked surprised, "They're the bad guys, I thought every minicon knew that."
"I... Eerm... It's hard to explain, so you're with the good guys?"
"Yep," He replied, grinning and pointed at the red logo on his shoulder, "The Autobots."
Max nodded to show she understood, "So those dudes with the purple logo must be Decepticons right?"
"Did you see them?!" He asked, looking even more surprised than before.
"Yeah, one was called Megatron, then I followed one of them."
Hot Shot looked stunned, "You FOLLOWED them!?"
"Yes... is that a bad thing?" she enquired then froze as she remembered something, "Wait... is the minicon you're all looking for... is it me?"
"Well who else would it be, I don't see any others around here, do you?" Hot Shot answered, with a hint of amusement in his voice.
Max smiled, "No," she said, "I guess if you're with the good guys I'll go with you."
"Good choice," He said, grinning, "Follow me." And he turned to walk down a path to their right, suddenly Max heard a noise behind her and before she or Hot Shot could turn around, a huuuuge metal hand wrapped itself tightly around Max's body and lifted her from the ground.
Max struggled in the grip of the red and white Decepticon she had followed earlier, Hot Shot looked at him with loathing, "Put her down Starscream!" he spat at the Decepticon, then ran at him with a large blue sword, but Starscream was to quick for him and folded out his left wing to form another sword.
"I don't think so." Starscream said, blocking Hot Shot's attack, "This minicon's mine now."
"WADDA YOU MEAN I'M YOURS!" Max yelled at him, furious for being treated like an object, Starscream looked partially surprised at her outburst.
"You can talk, interesting." He said, smirking at her.
"Yeah," Max said sarcastically, "Want to see something else interesting?" She then freed one arm and pointed it at Starscream's wrist with her fist closed.
"Oohh, scary, was that supposed to hurt?"
Max smiled as her arm glowed as the blaster formed from it, "No, but this will."
The shot was perfect, hitting the point in Starscream's wrist causing him to yell out and drop Max, the femme landed softly and ran over to Hot Shot.
"You'll pay for that!" Starscream growled as his minicon attached onto him and a pair of cannon type things (A/N- I lacked creative thought here) folded over his shoulders and pointed straight at Hot Shot and Max. Max was frozen in place as an enormous laser blast came straight for her, Hot Shot snatched her up and dove through some trees and into a huge clearing.
Max fell away from him and rolled several meters, she stood up somewhat dizzy but quickly shook it off when she saw the 2 groups of robots about 100 meters away from her. 'They must be the other Autobots' Max thought, then noticed two human kids with them, a brown haired girl and a dark blond haired boy 'Why are they here? Wait... I think I've seen them before.'
Suddenly a loud yell of pain reached Max's 'ears' and she noticed another human in Megatron's grip.
"Let him go Megatron!" The robot that looked like the leader of the Autobots yelled,
'That must be Optimus' Max thought remembering that Hot Shot had mentioned him before.
"I don't think so." Megatron answered in a voice that sent chills down Max's 'spine' (A/N- I'll still use human references... cause I don't know what else to use...)
"Give me the minicon and you get the brat."
It suddenly dawned on Max, 'S@#T! That kid is getting hurt because of me!'
"We don't have the minicon yet!" Optimus said.
Max couldn't take it anymore, she ran towards the robots, "PUT HIM DOWN YOU OVERGROWN TRASHCAN!" she yelled, drawing all the bot's attention to her.
Megatron got over his astonishment rather quickly, "A minicon with attitude," He remarked, smirking, "Well, how about you come here and I might consider giving this kid back."
The human Megatron was holding suddenly yelled out "NO! Stay back! You can't trust him!"
Megatron glared at him, "You'll be quiet if you value your life." He growled and gripped him tighter, the boy screamed out again.
"Put him down NOW!" Max yelled, forming the blaster on her arm and pointing it straight at Megatron's face.
The huge bot just laughed, "You fire that and I'll crush him," he said, "But I'll hand him right over to those scum if you serve us."
Max morphed the blaster back into her arm and stepped forward, "Put him on the ground." She demanded, but secretly signalled to Hot Shot behind her back, he noticed it, Max was making a gun shape with her thumb and index finger then curling her fist into a ball and pointing at her wrist. He understood and slowly reached for his gun.
Megatron thought for a second, "Alright," He agreed then placed the fist holding the human on the ground but didn't loosen his grip, "Now, come here."
Max took a couple of steps forward then suddenly signalled to Hot Shot who pulled out his gun the rest of the way and shot at Megatron's wrist, the shot was accurate and Megatron, not expecting it, immediately let go of the boy.
Max rushed forward, grabbed the boy around his waist and quickly pulled him towards the Autobots who were already pelting the Decepticons with laser fire, she took the boy over to the other humans and sat him down next to them.
"Carlos, are you ok?" the brown haired girl asked, kneeling next to him, the blond boy did the same.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he said then looked up at Max, "Thanks amigo."
Max smiled, "Don't mention it."
The Decepticons were getting absolutely trashed on, Megatron noticed this also because after a last glare in Max's direction he yelled "Decepticons retreat!" and suddenly all of them disappeared.
Max looked around her, "Where did they go?" She asked the kids.
"They warped back to their base." The blond haired boy answered, then offered his hand for Max to shake, "I'm Rad and these two," he said, motioning to the brown haired girl and the dark boy, "are Alexis and Carlos, what's your name?"
"Max," she said just as the Autobots came around them.
"Well Max," Optimus said, "Welcome to the team, this is Red Alert," He said, motioning to a serious looking blue and white robot, "Smokescreen," pointing to an Orange robot with a large crane attached to his shoulder, "Sideways," pointing to a purple bot with horn things on his helmet and a pair of wheels on his back, "I believe you have already met Hot Shot," The yellow bot grinned at her, "And I am Optimus Prime." He finished.
Max was beginning to get nervous, "Nice to meet you all," She said, "So... where to now?"
"We go back to the base, you can travel with me," Optimus said and then changed into a red truck, "It's about 10 kilometres to the warp gate."
Max climbed inside and they began to drive off, 'I think I can trust him...' Max thought, "Optimus, you probably won't believe me when I tell you this but..." the femme started.
"Tell me what?" Optimus asked gently.
"Well..." Max continued then proceeded to tell him about what had happened in the past 12 hours, then changed into a human to show Optimus she wasn't lying.
"Well, that does explain the type of signal we received," He began, "If you only found half a panel there must be another half somewhere... It might be best to wait for a better moment to tell the other Autobots about this."
Max agreed then changed back into minicon mode, "I like this form better anyway." She stated, Optimus chuckled. "We have reached the warp gate, brace yourself."
"Why?" Max asked but found out soon enough when she suddenly had a strange feeling she was being stretched, almost immediately they were in a huge metal room, Max jumped out of Optimus and he transformed into robot mode along with all the others.
"Where are we?" Max asked Rad who had been travelling with Hot Shot.
"The Autobot's base in Science City, it's our home town." Rad replied.
Max suddenly realised where she had seen the kids before 'Oh man, I live in Science City too, they must go to the middle school!' she thought.
After the kids had shown her around the base it was about 11 pm, Rad Alexis and Carlos were sleeping at the base, Optimus took Max into a room where he said she should 'recharge'.
"Umm, and I do that... how?" Max asked.
"Just lay down there and soon you will do what humans call sleep." He answered then left the room.
Max looked at the table thing, 'This had better not hurt.' She thought and then lay down flat, it was surprisingly comfortably and Max straight away felt very tired. She suddenly remembered before her optics flickered off, 'damn, I failed today's stupid mission'.
O.k, that's the first chapter done, if you liked please review, if you hated please review. I would really like people to tell me if they hated something, or if they hated the entire thing.
I don't know... I read back and it sounds kind of crappy... please tell me what you think. Thx.
