Surreal weightlessness and the tickle of sand under her prone form caused Ashley to stir out of a restless slumber, joints ached and groaned as she stiffly sat up hand going to rub her face when she paused. Looking up Ashley's eyes widened in fear and panic, she was in the middle of nowhere with redish rocks all around carved by dusty air. Ashley frowned the last thing she remembered was being at her best friend Brittany's house she paused her mind then screamed, 'Brittany!'
A groan sounded behind her making Ashley whip her head around, eyes wide she let out a squealing hiss of shock like that of a dying cat. A robotic being lay in a heap next to her, it was flat charcoal grey with yellow accents and bio lights. The sports car was female in form, with non mistakable curves and bust. Her helm had noticeable little metal wing type things sticking from them like Captain America's helmet in Age of Ultron, the rest of her form was sleek and powerful promising agility and horse power. The sunlight softly shone on the non reflective paint, as the robot pushed herself onto her knees with a shudder and a groan of protesting armor and circuits stiff from forced stasis.
Blue optics met Ashley's and they both screamed high pitched causing their voices to break with static, tumbling back from one another. Ashley raised her arms in defense from the obvious Transformer, only to let out another unexplainable dying whale noise this time over the fact that her arms were covered with dolphin gray armor over dark almost black proto-form and her hands now had wickedly sharp talons. "What the hell?!"
"Ashley?" The Bot next to her hesitantly said as she sat up straighter.
Ashley looked at the Transformer with shock then narrowed her eyes- no not eyes, optics. She corrected looking over at her 'companion' with surprise and confusion, "Oh my god…Brit?" She paused when she received a nod from the grey and yellow McLaren. "You look…nice?"
Sputtering out a shaken laugh her long time best friend shook her helm digging her blunt servos into the soft dirt, "You look…umm robotic…in nice way though." Brittany was quick to add.
Ashley stretched her legs out for examination, her pedes were like a tripod heel with the wheel hidden between silver armor of her pedes. Her other wheel was on her thigh, she poked the seams and tapped her armor in amazement.
Her optics brightened and she squealed. "THIS IS SOOO COOL!" Falling back she began to roll on the ground, yelping when a strange pinch on her back made her halt her excited rolling, turning her head she eyed a wing in shock. Hyperventilating she scrambled back up and smiled at Brit. "I have wings!"
"Ashley chill" Brittany tried to clam her friend. As Ashley moved them up and down with excited vigor like a child with her first fairy wings.
"I have no chill, bro were robots and I have wings!", flailing around babbling out nonsense she paused abruptly jumping to face Brit orange optics glowing bright, "We must be in the transformers universe!" Gasping she hugged her middle, optics widening considerably, "But witch one…"
"Does it matter?"
"Yes it does Britt like what if this was Shattered Glass or Beast Wars? Then we'd be in for a real treat…hopefully this is one I have better knowledge in…I hope." Ashley glared at her surroundings again, expecting all hell to break loose.
Britt stared at her friend, "I don't know any of those…but I do know our safest bet is to find the Autobots."
"Not if this was Shattered Glass…but I get what you are saying. Lets find high ground, shelter, and then we will go over a plan of action." Looking at a ridge to their left Ashley decided that they would go up there and look at the lay of the land. Hopefully find a road they could use to get out, that is till they figure out how to transform. "That ridge, lets climb up it, I want to see this valley and hopefully figure out where in the lords name we are."
"Sounds good," Britt stood up and followed her now winged friend, the shifting of loose gravel crunching under their pedes the small rocks getting stuck in their seams. "I'm starting to hate nature." Britt mumbled after what seemed like the hundredth stone wedged in her pede.
Ashley agreed as her stabilizers were assaulted with tiny stones, "I wish I could just blast these little bastards into glass." After what seemed like an eternity of nature abuse the duo came to the cliff face. "Up we go then," they easily scaled the face with little effort and the occasional curse word. Ashley looked over the rocky hills and dessert plants with a frown till her optics caught sight of a river a few miles from were they stood. Following its path she smiled at the sight of a bridge not to far off. "Brit you see that?"
"The bridge what about it?"
"Its the mother fucking Hoover Damn Bridge!" Jumping up Ashley whooped, "Ok so were in Nevada. Lets figure out what universe we are in."
"How do we do that?" Brit gave the bridge a once over, then turned to face her bestie.
"We get alt modes!" She looked over at the road cautiously from behind a rock, a parade of vehicles were coming by, obliviously from a show. Looking over the pickings Ashley scanned her new Alt-mode with a big grin. Transforming her body melted seamlessly into the new mode with a soft click she was done. "Oh my god…I did it," Ashley revved her engine with an excited purr.
"A Lamborghini? Ashley how low profile of you." Rolling her optics with a grin she shook her head at her best friend laughing softly. Britany paused blue optics narrowing, "Why aren't you a jet?"
Ashley froze engine cutting out, "I-I wasn't thinking about that…I was just overwhelmed with the need to drive." Going through her own processor she looked at the strange findings, there as clear as day was another scanned alt mode ready and operational. Several seconds passed till the information clicked and she practically exploded with glee, "IM A TRIPLE CHANGER!"
"Uh care to explain…"
"Bro I have two alt forms!" The Lamborghini shook with excitement. "One being super sexy car me, then BAM heart stopping jet me."
"Congratulations?" Brit sighed, "Now explain how you did that." A brief explanation later and Brit still stood on the cliff alt-mode scanned and ready, but she found that saying how to do it to actually transforming seemed to be harder than anticipated.
The triple changer lounged on a rock soaking up the rays listening to the frustrated growls and mechanical whirling of her robotic friends armor and unresponsive T-cog. The heat of the sun visible on her dark armor as she fumed at the failed attempts to transform. "Focus young Padawan," Ashley drawled and raised her servo to the sky admiring her claws. "Faith trust and mother fucking pixie dust!"
"Ashley if you don't shut up I'm going to throw you off the cliff." Brittany growled through gritted denta. She kicked a rock off of the cliff watching it disappear over the horizon with a glare, groaning she put her servos on her grey hips and huffed. 'One last try, alright.' Closing her optics she focused on being a car, with an effortless changing of gears she was finally in her alt mode. Brit and Ashley were soon hitting the asphalt with their exotic builds going way above the speed limit.
The two grey sports cars speed for the bridge slowing down when human traffic began. Many of the tourists stopped to take pictures of the dolphin gray and orange Tron Lamborghini Veneno and the flat charcoal gray and yellow McLauren.
Revving her engine Ashley commed her friend through a private link. 'This is nice huh.'
'Im a car Ashley, and I'm in a totally different dimension. This is soooo nice.'
'Oh ouch Britt that sarcasm was painful, and you're a sentient alien life form not just a car. Embrace this! C'mon this can be an adventure of a life time!' Driving past Hoover Dam the duo made it to the open road towards the middle of Nevada.
'Should we change our names to something more… transformer like?'
'Now your talking Brit!' Through their bond Ashley shot names off testing them in their minds. Not many appealed to her, till one clicked it was badass and sexy. 'Skyfall.'
'Ooo I like that very classy…how about Dawnbreaker.' the name stood out to her above the others.
'This is it bro, no turning back hard wire it into your processor these names above all elese. Our old names have to be kept a secret no one must know, that we are human. Not till it's important that we reveal such information. From this moment on we will be Skyfall and Dawnbreaker, from Cybertron.'
Flat and immense dull and almost lifeless Nevada was inviting as ever. The only thing they could do was drive, not that it wasn't fun but they didn't know were to go. 'Lets find a town, chill, and hunker up for the night.' Skyfall looked at a sign as they sped past it read Jasper next five miles, slamming on the breaks and swerving slightly Skyfall cursed and almost slammed into Dawnbreaker.
"SKY!" Dawn swerved out of her friends way. "What the hell?!"
"We are in Transformers Prime. FUCK YES" steadying herself the Lamborghini Veneno shook with glee. "I'm gonna-" Skyfall screamed till her vocals broke with static. Her engine gave a loud roar with a whistle of the jet engine as well.
"Skyfall calm yourself." Dawn laughed at her friends antics, her engine rumbling with amusement.
"I can't its just like a dream come true." Skyfall pulled up next to her bestie as they cruised down the highway towards Jasper. "The Autobot base is just outside of Jasper we can hopefully find someone on patrol….sweet Mary mother of God!" Skyfall about near drove right off of the highway, swerving back on to the blacktop flicking small pebbles and dust up. Her engine gave out a loud purr and her chassis lowered till it almost scraped the road.
Slowing down considerably the grey McLaren looked around, "Oh no who do you see? Decepticons?"
"No not see, what I can sense. If that's even a thing? Dawn we have to stop NOW!" Screeching their tires protested loudly on the highway echoing off of the red rock formations. The sun was setting so the tall rock spires casted long shadows over the dusty land, it was eerily quiet like something was about to happen. Dawnbreaker felt her friends apprehension rolling off of her, she was not surprised when the Lamborghini spoke in a lowered voice laced with caution. "Lights off and go behind that rock."
