Hey guys guess what. this is my third time editing, i realized i had mistakes relevent to the plot so here the final update hopefully, sorry about the confusion. ~Nova R&R
Megatron:
The Nemesis glided silently forward through the dark black clouds. Megatron watched the jagged shapes pass as he looked through the space shield of his ship. He couldn't stop thinking about the Autobots, and more specifically Optimus Prime. The war for Cybertron had been quite grand, and Megatron wanted nothing more than to see the light leave his enemy's optics. He was in such a foul mood, that when a Vehicon warrior came in and told him that they had picked up a strange Energon reading and the Autobots were closing fast on its position, he screamed to the Vehicon.
"CONFRONT THEM, IMMEDIATELY!" When the soldier stood their stupidly he blew a smoking hole in his chest. He had to stop killing his soldiers if he wanted them to do what he ordered. But at the particular moment he didn't care. He commed Soundwave.
"See to it that the Autobot's are taken care of, will you Soundwave?" He growled to the open comm link. He heard no reply but the sound of a groundbridge opening through the comm. He turned back to the clouds outside. He growled again seeing that they were now approaching an abandoned highway. He turned to the scanner. The signal was coming from right below them. Just as Megatron was about to go out and confront Optimus, Soundwave threw up a quick recording on the mainscreen. Megatron watched as Optimus ran back through his own groundbrigde. He turned back to the scanner, the Energon signal was still on the radar. He was surprised.
"Most unlike you Optimus." He mused to himself. Megatron would have expected his enemy to take any Energon he might be able to get his servos on seeing that the Decepticons controlled all the known Energon deposits on earth. Curious why Optimus might have left something so valuable behind he walked to the yellow transport tube to see for himself. Why he arrived down on the abandon highway he saw a crowd of Vehicon's looking at something on the ground.
"What is it," Megatron said attempting to step around his troops.
"Out of my way!" He growled at them. The instantly scurried aside to let their master through. There unconscious on the ground were two human girls. Both emitting the faint blue hum, of Energon.
3 DAYS BEFORE
Jade:
Jade sighed as the clock stopped ticking, again. It was a common problem with all the school clocks. They stopped working 5 minutes before school got out and Jade hated having to wait an extra few minutes for the teacher to be like. "Oh my goodness is that the time already." And then let them out 10 minutes late. She sighed again as she watched the broken clock. Hours seemed to pass and then,
"Oh dear, the clock must have stopped working again. Well it's only been a couple extra minutes, have a good weekend kids." Her teacher announced cheerily. Jade rolled her eyes and then quickly scooped up her stuff and sped through the door. Goodbye school, hello weekend. She thought enthusiastically. She even ignored all the whispering and looks she earned as she passed. Yes, Jade was not the most popular girl in the 8th grade. In fact, she was probably the least popular, and it was only because she and her twin, Icel, were extremely and weirdly smart. Jade was in all the advanced math, science, history, etc. Other kids were in advanced classes, but no one else was in all of them. And other kids treated her like an alien because of it. The school had no focus on kindness or environment. So the school had all kinds of things, gossip, bullying, hall fights. Just about your stereotypical high school. Except it was Middle school and ten times worse. Jade and Icel would go to a nicer school but ever since their parents died, they couldn't afford anything better. They didn't have foster parents, they just kept the deaths on the low and went on living, depressed and miserable. Foster homes looked awful and since Icel looked old enough to be 16 she had found a job while Jade survived school and taught her the curriculum. The girls were completely identical except Icel looked older and had white blonde hair, and Jade's was jet black almost blue. Except for silver streaks she dyed in the front. Jade rushed through the halls eager just to leave and go home. A weekend with just her and her sister. No one staring, whispering or bumping into her. Jade slipped outside into the cool fresh air. Spring had arrived and a chilling breeze and mist had taken to the afternoon air. Jade saw Icel standing by the sidewalk and began to make her way over. Icel smiled a little and they began to make their way home together. As they walked in silence they both began to think. About the one wish they had made on every candle on every penny on every star since the horrible deaths of their parents, that their greatest heroes would come and save them, would come and protect them. But they knew such fantasies were only existent in their deepest dreams, the Transformers couldn't be real, they were beings created by someone's great imagination. Beings who were franchised and watched. They were as real as, Snow White or Sleeping Beauty. And deep down the girls knew it. But that didn't mean they didn't still look. The girls always looked for something that could be, more than meets the eye.
Their favorite place to look was by the caves, which ran behind the school. They walked by and saw all the cars running along the freeway, their engines humming loudly as the sped through. The girls proceeded to climbing to the top of a very large boulder. Then they looked into the deep valley below. The girls would sit there for hours occasionally exchanging words but mostly watching and listening. And today was just a day like any other. They watched, did homework, listened, did more homework. Then like every day as Icel continued powering through the schoolwork Jade brought home, Jade grew restless. She began to climb other boulders and jump upon the wide flat surfaces. She called into the caves and leapt the stream. And Icel kept doing homework. When she was finished she would go and join Jade, but far more cautiously. Then they would watch the road some more while their thoughts ran away from them. Jade began to feel the mist and chill in the air soak into her bones, making her shiver. The low sun cast orange gold rays across the caves and rocks as it sank lower and faster. Jade breathed deeply as she watched the clouds change from white to blue to purple as the sun set. That day, they stayed until the sliver of moon and speckle of stars took the suns high place. Jade could really feel the cold chill come on as night swept into the caves valley. And as night seeped in, they found their eyes drifting back to the road. As they sat there watching they didn't notice vehicles beginning to drive in behind them, their engine hums blending in with the road noise they so carefully monitored. But they did hear the laser shots beginning to pick up, and the familiar whirrs and gears of a car morphing into a metal being. The girls turned to each other wide eyed their minds both screaming the same word. Transformers!
They raced over the boulders side by side and then dropped to a crouch behind an overhang, where they could see the action. The firefight was more intense than the girls had imagined. The could feel the searing heat of the lasers as they streaked by, the felt their bones vibrate as explosions shook the ground. They felt the weight of the transformers peds as they struck the ground. The saw the kick of their blasters jar the Autobots and Decepticons arms back forcefully. All for a small pile of blue crystal that lay on the ground in a heap. The watched the battle with fearful yet awestruck eyes. Then they heard a sharp clear voice slice through the air, one they most certainly knew.
"I'll saw you in half for that scratch!" A red con screamed, quick as lightning jumped upon a smaller black and gold bot and brought an infamous rotary saw to the bot's face. In the nick of time the gold bot reached up and held onto Knockout's wrist and holding the lethal blade away from him, but his strength was failing fast. Jade watched in horror as the blade came down in a jolt and throwing up sparks nearly cutting his helm, He cried in frustration as the blade came ever closer. Jade couldn't take another second of it, jumping up and despite Icel's cries she ran down and yelled an insult she and her twin had come up with, to annoy one red mech in particular.
"Hey you," Jade called to the shiny red mech. Knockout looked over with clear annoyance and frustration in his optics. Also a look that rather said, "you can't possibly mean me." Jade knew this look well. Although it was traced with a hint of surprise that the shout had come from a human, nevertheless the same disgusted look. As it happened often when she tried to talk to people at school.
"Yeah you!" She called feeling a familiar anger bubble up from within her.
"Get off him, you pile of slagging ugly filth!" She shouted angrily. His optics narrowed as pure and immediate hate rushed through his faceplates. He brought the deadly blade off the bot, and held it upon the tiny girl menacingly. Jade gulped and realized that she hadn't exactly planned further than the insult.
Just as the blade came down a blonde girl shoved Jade out of the way. It was Icel. She tackled Jade out of the way, and the two landed in an uncomfortable heap on the rough ground.
"Jade!" Icel growled. Pulling her behind another rock as the blade cracked the ground where they were standing. Jade proceeded to pulling Icel to next rock as the blade continued to smash each rock they tried to take refuge under. They kept running until they ran right into large blue crystals. They ran behind the blue crystals thinking that Knockout wouldn't destroy the Energon to kill two humans. And they were right.
"Come on little fleshies. Come on out and play." The red con coaxed. The girls both shivered at the well-known metallic voice that hissed at them now. Jade and Icel stumbled back into the glowing shards and they half melted to the girls' touch, Jade and Icel felt the sting of the melting crystal as it rubbed against their skin.
"Jade, if we get out of this alive, you and I are going to have a little talk about taunting Cons without a plan!" She said in the, "I'm more responsible" voice. Just as Knockout was about to come around the melted Energon and find them, they heard the familiar engine, of a semi. They turned as the blue and red semi-truck barreled through, launched through the air and transformed slamming into the much smaller bot, Knockout was sent sprawling across the battle field and slammed into a rock. He fell in an instant power down and crumpled at the stone's base. Optimus turned around and scooped up the Energon. The Vehicon's were all defeated and their bodies lay in smoking heaps strewn on the ground.
The girls watched quietly as the Autobot's dragged the remains of the Vehicon's into a groundbridge which led, who knew where. But somewhere surely out of the eyes and ears of humans. The girls had not yet been noticed by the Autobot's and they were now out in the open due to the fact that Optimus had removed the Energon they had been hiding under. They were about to decide what to do when two sharp metallic voices rang out from above them.
"Well, what do we have here." The gold bot said smirking as he stood beside a red one who came up behind him and threw his arm up and leaned against the gold one's shoulder.
"Hey, get off! I just buffed this morning." The gold one growled. The red one threw his servos up in surrender and backed away a little.
"Were not what's," Jade challenged as she was lifted into the air, the red one scooped up Icel.
"Were who." She corrected nervously looking over the side of the golden transformers servo.
"Alright, who then?" The gold bot asked staring her down. Jade swallowed since she didn't know this particular bot by name. In fact, Jade was pretty sure that he never made an appearance in the Prime series.
"I'm Jade, and that's my sister Icel." Jade replied and hoped with all her might that this bot was friendly. The red one spoke up.
"You don't seem frightened to see us, the other little human started freaking out like, worse than an angry Hatchet. I seriously thought he would die from shock. But your like so calm. Is it like dependent on the human or something. You guys are so, so strange." Jade looked up at the one who currently held her twin.
"Sides, slow down a little." Said the gold one. Sides! Jade knew that name from somewhere. Yes, they were the Autobot twins. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe.
Sunstreaker:
Sunstreaker looked down at the young girl he held, who after hearing Sideswipes nickname, began to reel more questions at him than he thought possible.
"Are you an artist? What do you transform into? What's your name? Do you have a nickname?" She ranted looking up at him expectantly. Sunstreaker sighed as he heard a similar but reversed one sided conversation happing between his brother and the blonde girl. He looked back to the darker girl.
"You talk a lot. Like my brother." He noted. He then overheard the blonde girl say, after Sides had stopped hitting her with questions.
"You talk a lot, like my sister." Sunstreaker quenched a smile. He then looked back to the girl,
"I'd better take you to Optimus." He muttered quietly. She didn't say it but he could tell she heard since her eyes widened. But that would be silly, she didn't know who Optimus was, why would him mentioning the name, put recognition in this girl's eyes. Sunstreaker didn't know but was unsettled but the prospect that these humans knew more than they should.
Well there hope that cleared some stuff a bit, i will also be reposting chapters 2 and 3, thanks Nova out. ;)
