Return to the Mountains

Prophecy of Unicron

Chapter 2: Meet the Parents

Coby enjoyed hearing Lori's sighs of pleasure as he massaged her sore muscles. The hot water that was sprayed on them by the shower helped ease the aftereffects of their previous activities. Coby was surprised at how sore he was. He thought he was stronger than that. It seemed his body thought otherwise.

He squirted some more soap in his had and continued to wash his lover. He was finished with her legs and back, and now proceeded to her front. She purred as his hands touched sensitive parts of her body, enjoying the warmth she felt from his hands.

"Feel better?" he asked.

"Much better," Lori replied, and then snickered. "Who knew sex had aftereffects?"

"Probably our parents," Coby joked. "Why? Should they have warned us?"

Lori shook her head, "Not my dad. You wouldn't believe how embarrassed he was when he realized that two people he tired to set me up with turned out to be perverted nerds. He's always telling me to make sure I find someone who will care for me forever. I just wonder how long it will take before he realizes that that person is you."

"Hopefully, not too long," Coby said, wrapping his arms around her. He began to plant kisses along her shoulder and neck, making her lean back against him and moan in pleasure. She turned her head and their lips met, locked together without hesitation.

Then they heard the door to the apartment open and a voice call out, "Lori? Are you there?"

"So, I think you have some explaining to do," Lori's dad growled, glaring at Coby. The two of them had been caught in the bathroom together, causing Lori's father to freak out. The other three adults calmed him down slightly, and then he saw the bed sheets.

Now the two of them were dressed, and were about to be interrogated by their parents. Well, more like one parent actually. While Coby's parents were disappointed, they were also happy for him and Lori. Lori's mom was just glad that Lori found someone to love for the rest of her life, knowing full well that Lori would not have bedded Coby if she wasn't sure that they would love each other forever. Lori's intuition was 100 accurate, and she had inherited it from her mom. Her father was another matter though. He held a slight grudge against Coby ever since Coby accidentally crashed his motorbike into Lori's dad's car. Coby and his bike, through some miracle, were unharmed, but the front of the car was folded in.

Lori's father was not happy about that, nor was he happy about this. In his mind, Lori deserved someone better than a reckless motocross racer. Lori didn't even like motocross, as far as he knew.

What he didn't know what that in reality, Lori was jealous of Coby's skill. She had made him promise to teach her though, so she didn't have a problem with it.

"Who wants to go first?" Lori's dad asked.

"What is there to explain?" Lori asked. "I love Coby, and he loves me."

"Did he… force himself on you?"

Lori snorted, "Yea right! He wouldn't have the guts, nor would he be that disrespectful. We did make love, but I initiated it."

"Why would you do that? Don't you realize what you've done, and what you'll never get back?"

"I don't want it back anyway," Lori answered. Things went downhill from there.

"Well, now what do we do?" Coby asked as he shut off the lights and climbed into the bed.

Lori sighed, "We need to get away, long enough for things to calm down, especially with my dad. I'm glad your parents don't care."

"They care," he told her, "They just recognize that we made the decision together." He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer and placing his hand on her backside. "You know, we never did finish our camping trip."

"Got that right," Lori sighed. "To tell you the truth, I wanted to go skinny dipping up there."

Coby raised an eyebrow at her, "Weird, I thought the same thing. Perhaps we could go finish that first trip."

"I like that idea," Lori answered, snuggling closer. "Just one thing. We get to sleep together in the negligee, like we are now."

"Why not," he replied. "Can I still see you in your skimpy underwear?"

She laughed at him, "Of course."

Red Alert poured over the data on the screen. In spite of the fact that everything showed that Coby was in perfect health, something was not right.

1: Coby should not have survived firing the Sonic Cannon.

2: Coby had to have excess energy bled from him during his healing, energy that he couldn't possess as a human.

3: Coby had managed to break open a stasis pod, something that was possible due to his size and ability to fit his hand in the small space, but a normal human didn't have that much physical strength, and neither did Coby.

Those factors told Red Alert something important, something that most would simply turn a blind eye or optic to and disregard. Somehow, being fused with the Matrix had altered Coby.

And those alterations were not finished. Coby was still changing.

What unnerved Red Alert the most was that he didn't know if the changes would be for the better, or worse.

Far away, a scientist smiled at the information that was scrolling across his screen. The Intel he had received was just what he needed. He had been working fast the past three months, searching for a way to achieve his plans. Now, he was being rewarded for his perseverance.

"You will live again, Megatron," he muttered to himself. "I will bring you back, as soon as I get the boy."

If one were to look at this man's shadow, they would not see a human, but an evil being with spikes and horns. The man turned to get into his vehicle, and it looked a whole lot like his shadow.
