She didn't wake up for the rest of the night, in fact. She remained curled up on the strange metallic pillow. She rolled over onto her side, facing Knockout and yawned cutely in her sleep, smiling softly. Knockout studied the human. She wasn't exactly ugly really... just different. Different could be good. Knockout shook his head. 'She's a HUMAN!' He turned his thoughts to her power, staying up into the early hours contemplating how she could have gotten such powers and what things she could do in all. Finally, she woke up with a loud yawn and stretch.
"Mmh boy... whatta nap." She looked over. "WHA- oh. Yeah. You."
He blinked a few times, clearing his drowsiness. "Well I guess that's a good morning to you too." he said with his normal attitude.
"Yeah... uh huh. Sure." She pushed back the blanket and stood up, stretching. "You sure get up early."
He shook his and stood. "Never powered down."
"Powered down? Like, turned off for the night?" She asked.
"Well sort of. Its kind of like how you "sleep". We power down, or some say go into stasis."
"Oh." She simply said, sitting back down. Her stomach grumbled. "You got any food 'round here?"
"Only energon and you can't drink that. You'll have to go back home for that."
She groaned. "Nice."
He shrugged. "So you'll go back and forth. Big deal."
"I'd rather stick around here. At least no sissy aunty to boss me around."
"You can't possible stay here forever. What about your classes? What about the authorities?"
"They all can go and chase their own tails. My aunty would be more than glad with me gone. And school's just dumb. I'd rather just draw all day instead of learn about boring stuff I don't even need!"
He shook his head. "Your studies are more important then you may think. And she's your... legal guardian? Wait, where are your parents anyway?"
"... Long gone."
He looked at her, stunned. "They're... dead?"
"That's all I'm saying!"
"Why are you so close up about everything?!" he asked, starting to lose his temper.
"None of your beeswax."
He sighed loudly. "You're too stubborn."
"Hmph." Was all she said before sketching again. He didn't bother pestering her further with the subject.
"So you're not going back then?"
"Nope. Your leader wants me, now he's stuck with me, and unless he wants one hell of a cranky 'pet', he'd better get some food."
"Oh yes fantastic. That'll be me running errands! And how exactly will I get you food without showing myself to a bunch of humans and squishing half of them?!"
"Hey, your problem, not mine!"
He glared at her. "I don't understand how I got stuck with human duty!" At that he remembered Breakdown. "Oh scrap! He's going to be so angry with me!" He said as he started to com him.
"Breakdown your boyfriend?" She sneered.
He pulled up the com and stared daggers down at her. "Breakdown?" No answer. "Breakdown I'm sorry! Its just I'm so busy with this stupid human! Just answer me, come on!"
She smirked. "Soooome one's angry with their giiiiirlfriend!"
Breakdown started laughing over the com link. "She's a feisty one, ain't she?"
Knockout huffed. "She's horrible!"
"Yeah, yeah. Like you should be talking."
"You know I didn't mean to, I didn't know what would happen I didn't want to risk it!"
"You know you'll have to make it up to me." Knockout chuckled. "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Elyon giggled. "Like makeup make-love?" She said snarkily.
Knockout tried his best to ignore her but Breakdown continued to laugh. "No one is in the Medbay right now, I'm coming to see ya okay?"
"Yea whatever, I'm just warning you this human is crazy." He shot a dirty look at Elyon.
"So are you!" Breakdown said, chuckling.
Elyon broke into song again, just to bug him. "Ooh there ain't no other way! Baby I was born this way! Baby I waaaas boooorn this waaaay!"
Breakdown laughed as he cut off the com link. Knockout turned his attention fully to Elyon. "You know you're a stubborn aft, right?" he asked rhetorically. "Breakdown and I aren't what you call lovers."
"Good, because seriously gayness is overrated. To me, anyways." She briefly inspected her nails before continuing to sketch a girl, covered in blood and wearing a ripped prom dress literally blasting away a sports car.
Knockout studied the picture. "Why so gruesome?"
"It's a horror movie called Carrie. It's about this girl who's literally mistreated by everyone, and at her Prom these kids dumped a bucket of pig's blood on her to embarrass her when she was crowned Prom Queen. So, she used her powers to-..." Her jaw dropped. "Carrie, in the movie. She had powers like me. Now that's just creepy."
Knockout made a face at this. "That's disgusting. So how did she get her powers? Or was she born with them?" He looked at the picture again. "And the sports car?" Honestly he was a little scared about that part.
"Well, okay, yeah she was born with them. But it's never revealed how the heck she got them. But her dad had something to do with it, except in the movie he's dead. And the sports car? Her bullies trying to make a getaway, so basically she destroyed the car and them."
"Oh." Knockout said, still confused. "We really do need to figure out how you got those powers." He shrugged. "Perhaps Shockwave could find out." he mused to himself.
"Maybe it's like Carrie. But to better understand her, you gotta watch the movie. And I swear, you'll scream like a little girl." She smirked up at him.
He rolled his optics. "I would not. I've watched plenty of human horror movies, Breakdown enjoys them."
Breakdown opened the door and walked in then. "Speak of Unicron and he shall appear." Knockout said with a smirk.
"Oh shut up." Breakdown said, no real venom in his voice.
"Oh hey. It's Breakdown right?" She grinned. "Ever watch that horror movie, Carrie?"
Breakdown smirked at Knockout before turning to her. "Hey human. No, never heard of it before. Why?"
"The name's Elyon. And, you'd better call me that. Why? Watch the movie and you'll find out. I dare you and Knockout. Call it your 'make-up' thing."
Breakdown rolled his optics. "Yea whatever Elyon." He looked at Knockout. "What's with Carrie?"
"Apparently, she has powers a lot like the girl does. She thinks we'll be scared by the movie." Knockout said, rolling his optics. "I seriously doubt it's worth our time."
"I doooouble daaaare you!" She sang.
"But I'll do it to shut her up." He added, glaring at her. "You up for it Breakdown?"
Breakdown shrugged. "Yea whatever. I guess tonight would be okay as long as neither of us have work."
"Sweet. Then prepare, boys, 'cause neither of you are gonna sleep a bit!"
"I'm guessing you're planning on watching it with us then?" Knockout asked.
"She'd better be! Ha, maybe Megatron will want to watch with us." Breakdown joked. Knockout just rolled his optics once more.
"Not a bad idea. Heh, what about that girly-guy thing, Starscream?" She mused.
"He's one, I can imagine, who'd scream like a little girl." Breakdown laughed. "So it's true that you called Starscream a girl! I thought those drones had something malfunctioning!"
Knockout chuckled. "Yea she did, pretty entertaining to." he thought for a few moments. "I guess if Lord Megatron is alright with it we could watch it in the rec room and anyone who wants to join can."
"Aw yeah." Elyon was already liking this group!
Knockout sat in the rec room next to Breakdown. "When are we going to start this?"
Breakdown shrugged. "You're the one who's in charge of this!"
She'd convinced them to go into town and she borrowed the movie from her local Video Rental store. "How do you guys work this stuff?!" Elyon said, frustrated with their Cybertronian tech. Her frustration activated her powers, causing a stool to lurch right into Soundwave's path as he walked in to observe their new 'pet', making the mech face plant into the ground!
Knockout jumped to his feet, completely shocked. "S-Soundwave! Are you all right?!" he asked, knowing how violent the mech could be.
Soundwave stood up, hardly phased by the fall and walked to the corner of a room to observe. Knockout let out a breath he hasn't known he'd been holding in and walked over to Elyon quickly. "Are you crazy?!" he hissed, glaring at her. "He could've killed you!" He took the disk from her and put it to play easily. "Not that hard human."
"Well excuse ME for being 'human'! And Slenderman over there... what, he got a 'thing' against humanity?!"
Knockout shook his head. "Whatever. And no. I don't know what you mean by calling him 'Slenderman' but trust me he's like that with everyone. Now come on and sit by Breakdown and me before someone crushes you by accident." He said, offering his hand.
She easily leapt on as the movie began. At first, it was a bit boring... until Carrie began to shatter things with her powers. As the movie climaxed, her powers began to spiral out of control, to the point where, at the Prom, she outright killed almost EVERYONE inside!
Knockout looked scared, optics wide as he grabbed onto Breakdown and hid behind his arm. Starscream screamed somewhere in the room and more than a few drones ran out. Breakdown jumped, causing Knockout to yelp with surprise and fear. Elyon was merely watching, a plain expression on her face as the part where Carrie's mother stabbed her and she crushed her mother alive played, and Carrie fell down the stairs, dying. Knockout had his mouth wide open as the movie ended. No one moved, everyone seemed to scared to. Breakdown was breathing heavily and it seemed as though everyone was afraid Carrie was going to jump out of nowhere and kill them all.
Elyon made them all yelp when she yelled, "AND I GOT HER POWERS GENTS!"
Everyone suddenly looked at Elyon and more than a few ran out of the room.
"W-what does she mean by that?" Starscream asked, his voice sounding a bit rough from the screaming.
"She has the powers that the girl had."
Starscream went pale and backed away. "I... think I hear Lord Megatron calling me." he said quickly before running out of the room.
Breakdown chuckled as did Knockout. "Looks like you won't have any problems around here for a while." Knockout noted, still a bit jumpy from the movie.
She smirked. "Double feature? Carrie 2, The Rage is waaaay scarier!"
Knockout looked at Breakdown. He looked back with a smirk. "How about tomorrow night?" he asked, directing it towards Elyon.
"You got her." And... just to scare the pants, or plating or whatever off of them... She managed to lift the table with her powers and crush it, then dropped it with a loud, 'BANG!'.
Knockout yelped and all the drones ran from the room, leaving Soundwave, Breakdown, Knockout and a laughing Elyon alone. Soundwave stared at Elyon for a few moments, analyzing his data and then leaving the room to find Megatron.
Breakdown looked his way but shrugged, saying nothing. "So Elyon, seems like everyone is a bit frightened by you now."
"Awesome." She grinned. "Live in fear of those who have the power!"
Knockout shook his head but smirked. "Yea good quote. Now come on, let's get back to the room."
She yawned and stretched, allowing herself to be carried. Yeah, she knew it. Life with this crew was going to rock.
