Not Our World: An Alternative World Story

What if Earth wasn't ours anymore? What if Earth had been theirs?

Cybertronians. They all came from the stars, defeating all of Earth's governments and military. You could tell which Cybertronians were which by their optics. Every human being knew to stay away from the red optic Mechs. They brought in humans who were 'against the Cybertronian Rule' into questioning. Then rumors spread that if you were taken by them, you never saw the light of day. However, there were blue optic Mechs worked alongside the red optic Mechs to ensure peace and order. They were always carrying some kind of weapons with them and weren't afraid to show their power.

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Joyce, but I'd prefer Joy. My mother named me Joyce after her grandmother, Joycelynn. I wasn't so looking forward to my day at the school. It just seemed like the weekend had flown away and there had been another warning from the Cybertronians on the TVs that morning and I didn't pay attention. I needed to get ready for school. My mother smiled and said, "Have a good day at school, hon."

"Thanks Mom." I said. "I'll try."

"I love you." Mom said.

"Love you too."

I grabbed a banana and left the house. I ran to the bus and got on. "Hi, Joy." My friend, Sarah greeted.

"Mornin'." I said, unwrapping the banana and eating it.

"So, did you hear the warning this morning?"

"No I didn't. What did 'they' say?"

"They caught one of the rebels today."

I snorted. The rebels were a short group of people who wanted to overthrow the Cybertronians and they were dangerous. They were led by a general who would actually kill his own and didn't care whether or not if you supported the Cybertronians or not. The bus driver stopped at the stop and let another child on, but then suddenly, a masked man pushed the child into a seat that was empty and said, "All right! Everyone keep quiet and no one gets hurt! Drive!" the man ordered to the driver. "Drive to this location!"

"No. Let the children go and I'll take you to that location."

"SHUT UP! DRIVE OR I'LL KILL YOU NOW!" The man barked, as he pointed his gun to the driver. He noticed the two children huddled in the seat behind the driver. "Move." He ordered the two children. They got up and ran to another empty seat. "DRIVE!" He ordered getting behind the driver. "You kids keep quiet."

Another lousy weekday and Sunstreaker growled in annoyance. "Why does Prime make us round up these idiotic rebels?!"

"These rebels have to be put away before they cause a stir among the organics."

"Those puny organics would not dare cross us. We have established that with them." Sunstreaker said.

"Do not underestimate this race." Sideswipe said. "They are smart enough to have weapons- What is that? A school bus?"

They stopped to scan the bus, noticing children and a driver. For some reason, their heart rates and fear were on high. "Ha! Look at that!" Sunstreaker exclaimed. "Even those puny organic children are afraid of us."

We saw two Lamborghini's sitting on the side of the road. One red, one yellow. I started writing a note on a sheet of loose-leaf paper. 'HELP Us, Please.'

Sarah looked at what I had written and whispered, "Not gonna work."

"It has to." I said. "Keep an eye out for the man."

We noticed the man had his eye on the driver and wasn't looking anywhere. At least I wasn't up close. I lay the loose-leaf paper up on the lowest portion of the window. The slowed down as the man ordered, "Act like a normal driver now." The man ducked. "Joy! He's comin'." Sarah said. I dragged my book bag up and held it against the window. "You! Out here now." The man ordered. I turned to see the man standing in the aisle now, gun waving. "NOW!"

I stood up and the man took the bag away from the window and took the note away from the window. "You stupid kid! I'm trying to make a point to them!" The man grabbed my shoulder and dragged me to the front of the bus. "You see this stupid kid?!" He made a gesture with his gun to my head. "If any of you think of writing a stupid note to those-" The bus crashed into a metal leg and I fell down, hitting my head, and the man went flying through the front end of the bus and through the window. Then a blaring alarm sounded from behind the bus. Everyone turned to the rear of the bus. "Everyone out!" A voice ordered. No one made any second thoughts before piling out of the bus.

I couldn't get up as I was dizzy from hitting my head. I wanted to throw up and the driver opened the retractable door and hoisted me up. "Come on, Joy." He said. I stumbled here and there. I barely made it off the bus before throwing up that banana. The last thing I saw was two blue optic Mechs staring at me before I fainted.
