Kronos City

by crusades

An AU. It's been three years since the Decepticon occupation on Earth-their true motive came out only after they defeated the Autobots in what is now being called the 'Last Battle'. In Kronos, New York, a city that's been all but abandoned, a former scientist believes she has found a way out-to bring back the humanity to the humans. ONLY A SAMPLE. LEAVES REVIEWS FOR MORE.

HIGHER GROUND

In the dust filled streets of Kronos, New York, there was an old abandoned warehouse.

A gust of wind pushed through the broken windows and into the structure, causing a shiver to run through Babylon's body.

The Solomon building had at one time been filled with people, human life, some happy, some not, all oblivious to what was to come, Babylon included in that majority. But that had been over three years ago, and things were much different now.

Dirt and grit rested under her fingernails, on her face and in her hair. It had been almost a month since she had done anything to wash herself. There was no running water but a lake nearby. Even so, she wasn't interested much in for the most part, she wasn't around other humans that would be opposed to the stench that came off of her. Over time Babylon got use to it. And the ones she did-rarely-keep company with couldn't care less.

That's better than what most of us are getting, she thought absently, reaching over to the far side of the wall, flipping a switch.

And there was light.

Her home, sitting next to the building which had become her workshop, and the Solomon building were the only things that had electricity in all of Kronos. Not to mention most of everything around the city also.

She felt down next to her on the control pad of the mechanical lift that she stood on and pushed another button, bringing her own to the ground level once again. The sound of metal on metal was something that'd she never get tired of.

Not that she ever could.

For the most part, she was safe here. Kronos was an abandoned city, as were most cities in this part of the country since the Occupation. If you could even call the former United States a country. There was relative peace in this part of the former nation.

Babylon stepped off the lift and onto the ground, her eyes gazed over the scene. She had turned the building into a lab of sorts, and her test subject, who she herself had watched die less than a week ago, lie directly in her sights.

If sometime in the future she wasn't killed for being human, she was sure she'd be executed for this.
