I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT MY OC/S
When you think of trust, what do you think comes to mind? Close friends? Family? Maybe even your pet rock named Jerry. For Karlie, the only possible thing that comes to mind is comparing said trust to her family, her friends. It's been six months since the anima transported her on this wretched planet, where everything seems to be a battle in disguise. Bullies, thugs, pedophiles, killers, and just plain arses.
Every step you take, each corner you turn, and each breathe you breathe in, you're being silently judged with snarky comments people keep in their minds, and Karlie knew that feeling all too well, but that doesn't stop her from protecting their world. Each day, she wanders the towns and cities of the globe to look for any type of threat to deal with for the sake of the globe.
Sometimes, she wonders why she does this for people who most likely won't acknowledge or appreciate her deeds. If she were to disappear, no one would miss her. The world would keep rotating on its' 23.5 degree axis. Time would keep ticking. People would continue on in their daily lives, so why should she keep on doing the things she did to keep the innocent safe? The thought fled as soon as it came. Karlie could care less of the unappreciative beings in the world. Seeing the horrifying faces of the non-wizards was quite amusing, especially the fighters.
As creepy as it sounded, she loved it when they tried to act egotistical because of her appearance, they beg the most. She couldn't blame them, I mean, you wouldn't feel any intimidation from a fourteen year old child, a girl nonetheless, spouting out threats that made it seem impossible to pull off in their reality, would you?
Karlie lives in an old, shady apartment complex just outside of Mission City, 2.5 miles out, Apartment number 19. The building mostly looked deserted, her only neighbors, a couple that didn't know the concept of 'quiet'. Her routine was simple. Wake up, (courtesy of Karlie's celestial alarm clock) get up from the conjured up mattress (since she she refused to sleep on a mattress that previous people had most likely did stuff in), take a shower, equip into her daily attire, and scout the city for any type of crime there was.
Crime in Mission City weren't common nor uncommon. Sure, there were robberies, runaway prisoners, and threats to the peace, but it were the shootings, the bombs, and the 'terrorist attacks' that happened on quite the occasion.
It was around 6:15, about that time for Karlie's alarm to go off, but it was later deemed unneeded, when a ginormous 'KABOOM' shook the whole room, causing her to jolt up. She looked wildly around the room to find all of the few furniture, shaking from the sound. What in the-, she thought, but was soon interrupted by another ear piercing sound, this time, only the sound of, what seems to be, cannon blasters.
As if on cue, a golden, translucent screen popped up right next to her, the words 'ALERT. ALERT. ATTACK IN TOWN SQUARE OF MISSION CITY.' The girl just rolled her eyes and shooed the screen away, causing it to disperse as soon as it made contact to its' user. " Yeah yeah, I get it. A little late for that, don't you think?" She mumbled and hopped out of the floating mattress. As soon as her feet made contact with the floor, her body glowed a luminous golden light.
It took only took a moment when it disappeared, her clothes changing from her black pajamas to her combat outfit. She outstretched her right arm, and an oversized, long sword appeared in her grasp. The sword, to any human strength, would appear to be unliftable, but for Karlie, it was as it weighed less than a feather, which in her case, it did.
She carelessly sheathed the sword into its' carrier on her back, and proceeded to make her way out the door, lifting her hood up to the point where civilians couldn't see anything, with the exception of her nose and down.
When she hastily opened the door, she could see the trails of several jet planes, some fading and some fairly new, but they all were headed in the same location: Mission City. Glancing to make sure no one was in her presence, she looked towards the now close-to-damaged city, and got into a running stance. Soon, she was nothing but a blur as she ran at high speed towards the town square.
When Karlie arrived to the city, everything was chaotic. Buildings were collapsed, people frantically screaming as they pushed along the crowd, trying to get to safety, vehicles aflamed, and debris was everywhere. She could see people running in the same direction, and almost landed face planted to the ground by a shove if it weren't her fast reflexes to catch herself. She kept her head down and walked through the crowd, dodging the few people who were close to ramming into her.
Soon enough, the screams began to become more distant until all was silent, nothing but the silent taps of the sole of Karlie's shoes could be made.
Suddenly, in the far distance, she could hear voices, a conversation, making out. " Find it." A deep, hoarse voice commanded. There was another, a male, that had a shrill metallic edge to theirs that made Karlie want to cringe at the pitch. " Y-Yes Lord Megatron." It stuttered. For a moment, all was silent before she heard the sound of metal shifting.
A jet flew passed her, hovering close to the ground so close, she had to duck a bit to avoid getting hit, but her eyes didn't leave the jet. The dust and debris suddenly cleared from the wind, and now, facing forward, the girl could make out a large shadow standing at 41 feet tall, with glowing red eyes that could make anyone cower, even just a little.
She gulped. That is one gigantic being, whatever it is. She thought in slight awe, but shook her head. Get a grip Puer Draco! You can fascinate later. She scolded herself and began at the large titan. A step was all she could take before a booming voice and a beaming white light hit the red eyed shadow. " Megatron!" Karlie almost flinched at the tone of voice, and quickly went behind an abandoned taxi, peeking at the now two shadows.
Unlike the first one, this one stood 30 feet tall, and had electrifying blue eyes. Karlie, now extremely annoyed at the fact that the dust had not dispersed to see the engaged battle, quickly murmured a spell that caused the majority of it to cast away in seperate directions.
After squinting a little, she had to hold a gasp as her eyes widened in fascination. Now with a better viewing, she could make out that the 30 foot tall being was blue with red flames, judging by his aura, he seemed to be authoritative, nice. He had what seemed to be a large gun in his hand and had seemed to have no mouth at the moment. The red eyed giant was all silver, and he looked anything but nice. It looked like he didn't have any weapons at all!
" Ah, if it isn't Optimus Prime." The voice crooned sinisterly. Optimus Prime? What kind of name is that? Karlie wondered as she leaned closer to the taxi. She inwardly sighed. At this rate, I won't be able to know what's going on! She though for a moment, weighing down her options before an idea popped in her mind.
Alright Archive. Show me what I want to know. She closed her eyes for a moment, before opening them. For a moment, her eyes weren't their original color. A sudden pulse of gold waved through her eyes before disappearing, and from the corner of Karlie's eyes, there was an informational box tab to the bottom left.
Name: Optimus Prime
Fraction: Autobot
Species: Cybertronian
Role: Leader
Karlie narrowed her eyes confusingly before looking towards ' Megatron'. The box changed its' information and was on the top right this time.
Name: Megatron
Fraction: Decepticon
Species: Cybertronian
Role: Leader
Okay, so they're both leaders. They must hold something against each other then. Before Karlie could think anymore, several bangs and metal crashing against metal caused her eyes snap up. The Cybertronians were going at each other, neck and neck. Optimus punched Megatron, causing him to go back a few feet before Megatron changed his hand to a canon.
The canon hummed to life as Megatron aimed it for Optimus, and hit him straight in the chest. He grunted in pain and and ran towards him again. At the last second, a long sword shifted out right above his right hand and aimed for his head.
Megatron dodged the attack and used his sharp claws and stabbed Optimus through the stomach. Said 'Bot restrained himself from crying out from the pain, instead groaning as he fell to his knees, clutching his abdomen. Megatron chuckled as he put his foot onto Optimus, causing him grunt from the weight pressuring on him, and pressed his canon towards his head. " I've won this war, brother. " Karlie could hear the soft humming of the canon, the light growing brighter each minute. " We have both lost that right to call ourselves brothers after you betrayed us." Optimus spat.
Karlie perked up at the sound of several, frantic footsteps coming closer and the smell of soot and blood. Human soldiers. She mused. The footsteps came closer, and Karlie could make out four, human like silhouettes running towards the Cybertronians. " Optimus!" A young male voice shouted. Optimus glanced at the four humans and grunted as he struggled to lift his head up. " All of you, get out of here!" He waved them away, but they were still persistent. " You tin can! Let him go!" A female voice hissed. Megatron cackled and pressed his foot harder against the Autobot. " I will, fleshy, once I vanquish his spark." He sneered.
Several gunshots were heard from that area, and from the midst, Karlie could see one of the humans pointing a gun towards the decepticon. " Will, enough!" Optimus rasped out, but the shots kept going. Megatron sighed in a pitiful manner and moved his canon from his opponent's head to the humans.
Uh oh, Karlie thought as she stood straight with wide eyes. I think that's enough waiting around for now.
That was the first chapter! Hope you like it!
