SHADED SECRETS
PART 1
Outer space, a boundless void of wonders, the home of stars, asteroids, and many planets. A place of unknown wonders just waiting to be discovered, and also a place for a light speed chase. In a remote field of asteroids, an Autobot ship was in pursuit of a black subship piloted by two dangerous Decepticons wanted by the Elite Guard.
"Attention, Deadly Duo! You are under arrest by order of the Elite Guard! Stop your ship and surrender with cooperation!" A pilot from the ship broadcasted.
The subship responded by shooting lasers at them with its rear gun and struck the left wing. The Autobot ship fired heat seeking missiles, but the subship maneuvered a loop and lead the missiles right back at its enemy. The Autobot ship caught fire as the missiles made contact, giving the perfect escape opportunity for the subship.
The pilots found a Space Bridge and escaped through it, coming out the other side and heading straight for Earth. A twinkle in the night sky flashed and the subship came crash landing in a forest miles from the city, the airlock then opened and the two dark figures emerged from the ship.
"Heh ehehe, we finally gave those loser Auto dumbafts the slip!" The short figure said, sounding like a crazy drughead.
"Don't get cocky, Frenzy, we still have our priority to accomplish." The bigger figure replied to his partner.
"Oh yes, yes, the Allspark. But the Elite Guard said that it had been shattered. What good is it shattered?"
"Its pieces are still worth great use, we must find them in order to claim victory for the Decepticons."
"But how will we find them? This planet is ginormous!"
"We're not searching the entire planet, piston rods! We're searching there." The bigger figure said as he pointed to the city lit in the distance.

Blinx walked down a long dark hallway, unknown of where she was going or why she was here. Everything was pitch black and strange sounds echoed all around, making the blue haired girl feel uneasy and scared. A light suddenly exploded out of nowhere, hurting Blinx's eyes. Shadows of figures, familiar and unknown, stood in her presence, doing nothing but standing and staring at her.
They then faded in the light's wake and two new figures stood before her, eyes glowing as red as they could be, that was obviously bad. They too then faded and were replaced by a glowing crystal with a pair of glowing blue eyes bigger than a house behind it.
*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!*
Blinx's eyes opened as her alarm clock blared, scowling, she reached over and shut it off. She did not want to work on a Saturday, but she had to fill in for Pammy who was out of the state for her great uncle's funeral. After showering and packing her uniform, she went to the kitchen and popped in some toast. She suddenly noticed that her right hand was glowing a bright blue, it soon faded after 10 seconds.
"Ugh, I thought I got that under control." She said.
This wasn't the first time Blinx's hands had glowed this, it had been going on for 4 weeks and it was starting to get difficult for her to keep the others from noticing. After having breakfast, she got out her bike and headed off to work.
As she passed the buildings and crowds of people on the sidewalk, Blinx couldn't help but worry about what would happen if the Autobots found out what was going on with her. While Blinx was pondering what to do, she was unaware that she was being watched from a distance by the two figures.
"Tell me again why we are spying on this organic?" The short one asked.
"She's obviously harboring a shard, there are traces of the Allspark all over her." The bigger one said.
"So do we nab her and force her to give it to us?"
"Not yet, we have to bide our time first, it's only a matter of time before she's completely unguarded."

Bumblebee mashed the buttons on his controller as he was fighting the most difficult boss on Gears of War, his constant shouts were annoying the hell out of Ratchet and he wanted to strike the bot with a lead pipe. Bulkhead was painting a portrait of the stuff he had set up in front of him, not at all bothered by Bumblebee's shouts.
Optimus was just as annoyed as Ratchet, but didn't think any thoughts of wanting to hit the yellow mech with anything, it just wasn't him. Prowl was nowhere to be seen, not that it didn't surprise anyone. Just then, Sari came in holding a copy of Last House on the Left the remade version.
"Woohoo! Yes! In your ugly disfigured face, Haarm!" Bumblebee yelled.
"Will you shut up already? Yer shoutin's giving me a processorache!" Ratchet snapped.
"Um, hello? I just walked in and you didn't notice." Sari said.
Everyone then turned their attention to her and acknowledged her presence.
"Hey, where's Blinx? She usually comes here with you." Bumblebee said.
"She's at work." Sari replied.
"On a Saturday?" Bulkhead questioned.
"She had to fill in for someone. By the way, did any of you guys notice that Prowl's on the roof?"
"Is that where he is?" Ratchet asked.
"I saw him before I walked in, so yeah."
On the roof, Prowl sat cross-legged with his arms crossed over his chest, staring out into the city's boundaries in deep thought. He knew that something was going on with Blinx and had an uneasy feeling that something bad was going to follow up. He dimmed his visor and thought back to 3 weeks ago when he noticed something suspicious about her.
Flashback
Blinx screamed furiously into her phone as she complained to the douche on the other end about messing up her shipping order, the others had their audio receivers shut off and their attentions directed away from her.
"Listen, hey listen, I'll make a deal with you, you recheck the order form I sent in and I won't come over and kick your ass! …HEY! WATCH YOUR MOUTH! I AM TRYING TO GET THIS SOLVED IN A NICE WAY, BUT YOU'RE MAKING IT GODDAMN DIFFICULT TO DO SO!" Blinx screeched into the phone.
Prowl was meditating with his back turned towards her, his audio receivers not completely shut off, but turned down so the ranting and swearing were muffled. He shook his head mentally at the profound language she was using. Was it really necessary for her to use those words to work this problem out?
Blinx suddenly screamed out the most foulest word 3 times in a row, causing the ninjabot to look over his shoulder. When he did, his visor widened when he saw that Blinx's hand glow a bright blue, increasing as she became more enraged. The glowing soon faded, but Prowl's gaze still remained on them, Blinx suddenly noticed he was staring at her and paused her ranting.
"The fuck are you lookin at, ninja boy?" She yelled at him.
Prowl quickly turned away from her and Blinx continued yelling into the phone.
End flashback
"Something wasn't right with that, and I intend to find out what it is." He thought.
His Com began to beep and he answered to his leader on the other end.
"Prowl, when you're done, we have an important call from Ultra Magnus." Optimus said.

Blinx took the plates from the kitchen and brought them to the table that ordered them. It was starting to get really busy because the college kids had nothing better to do on a Saturday but to come here and watch the game, some were even loitering outside and smoking when they know they weren't suppose to.
"God, don't these guys have anything better to do than watch the game here or stand outside and smoke?" Blinx said to one of the waitresses.
"Apparently not." The waitress replied.
As the day went on, the frats and sorority girls were starting to make things a little crazy, drinking and hollering at the screen over the bar as the game progressed, they were soon told to leave when a few of the drunken girls began taking off their tops in front of other customers who covered their children's eyes. After a few more hours, Blinx's shift ended.
"Thank god this is finally over." She said in relief.
After completing her punch out and gathering her stuff, she got her bike and rode off, unaware she was being followed. A police car came out of an alley and followed her everywhere she went. As Blinx reached old Detroit, her bike chain suddenly came loose.
"Aw goddammit!" She said angrily.
She stopped and got off and tried to fix it, she suddenly heard tires screeching and sharply turned to see a large hand that grabbed her and pushed her into a brick wall with force. When Blinx regained her bearings, she saw a police car before her with no driver, she somehow knew that couldn't be good.
The car then transformed into a muscular-looking robot, he was grey, silver, and black, his chest had the form of the front of a police car with the lights on the tops of his shoulders, his chevrons were curved over his head like a ram, two of his tires were on his shins and the other two were on his back, the doors with the police symbols were located on his shoulders, and had the Decepticon insignia on his chest.
Another robot then appeared beside him, he was crazy-looking and was half of Blinx's height. He was purple and tan, his chest looked like the front of a boom box, he had speakers coming out of his shoulders, bent spikes on his head, metal funnel cups on the sides of his head, and had the Decepticon insignia on his abdomen.
"Give us the shard, organic!" The bigger robot ordered.
"What?" Blinx asked clearly having no idea what he was talking about.
"Give us the shard, organic! That's what he said, that's what he said!" The smaller robot said all crazy like.
"Ok I have no idea what you two are taking about."
The bigger bot then grabbed her and brought her up to his face.
"Don't play games with me, you little glitch, give us the shard and we won't hurt you…much" He snarled.
The smaller bot then climbed up his partner and stuck his face near Blinx's.
"Yeah yeah! Give it to us give it to us give it to us!" He screamed.
"I don't know what you want and I don't have it, so put me down before I kick your asses!" Blinx yelled.
"You don't stand a chance against us, we're superior to your species!" the bigger bot said.
Blinx suddenly grabbed the smaller bot by his face and threw him into his partner's face, making him drop her. Blinx then rushed to her bike, hopped on, and rode away as fast as she could. The Decepticon transformed into car mode and began to pursue her.
"Dammit! Why did I leave my phone at home at a time like this?" Blinx said.
She raced down every street and corner she could take, trying to ditch the Con, but he remained on her trail. As they neared the old harbor, the smaller bot leaned out the window and threw an explosive in Blinx's path. The blue haired girl didn't know what it was until it blew her off the bike and sent her skidding all the way into the ocean, the Con drove to the end of the dock and returned to bot mode.
"Where'd she go, Barricade? Where'd she go?" The smaller Con sputtered.
"If I knew, I wouldn't be looking for her!" The bot snapped.
Suddenly a light under the boards began to glow a bizarre cosmic color, and out of the blue, an enormous energy beam blasted the Cons far from where the eye could see. Blinx then emerged to the surface, her face scratched a bit.
She brought her hands up to the surface and looked at them, they had somehow turned into energy projector thingies and this concerned her deeply. When her hands returned to normal, Blinx weakly swam to shore and wobbled over to her bike. It had been damaged by the explosion, making it unsafe to ride anywhere, she'd have to go to the base on foot.

The Autobots were gathered at the large monitor screen, saluting the image showing Ultra Magnus.
"Ultra Magnus to Optimus Prime, there is and urgent state of emergency that you must be informed of. Recently these two Decepticons escaped our forces through a Space Bridge, our sources indicate that they have landed on Earth."
The screen then showed photo shots of said Decepticons on one of the monitor screens.
"Their names are Barricade and Frenzy, also known as the Deadly Duo. They are considered extremely dangerous and are likely to pose a great threat to the planets inhabitance. We are coming back to Earth to apprehend them, but we need your team's help to do so. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes sir, Ultra Magnus. Where shall we meet up?" Optimus said.
"We'll rendezvous at your base as soon as we arrive." Ultra Magnus said.
"Ok, we look forward to meeting up wit"
A sudden crash of trash cans outside interrupted Prime and everyone turned their attention to the doorway.
"What the slag was that?" Bumblebee asked.
They suddenly heard Sari scream, making all the bots run out of the room to see what was wrong.
"Optimus Prime, what is going on?" Ultra Magnus asked firmly.
"I'm unsure, sir, but whatever it is, I'll explain it later." Optimus said.
When the transmission ended, the fire truck rushed to see what the commotion was. Ratchet suddenly rushed past him with something in his hands, heading to the med bay.
"Ratchet, what's going on?" Optimus asked him.
"Does this answer yer question?" The medic replied, turning around to reveal what was in his hands.
Prime was shocked to see that it was Blinx and she was not looking good, her arms and legs were scraped in places, bleeding and exposing her robotic parts, her work uniform torn in different places, and her face scratched a bit.
"What happened to her?" Optimus asked.
"I don't know, but I hafta treat her injuries now before they become infected!" Ratchet said.
He then proceeded on towards the med bay to give emergency care to the injured girl.
