A Cybertronian Transformation Part 2- Adjusting to their New Forms
Bumblebee's POV
Strongarm and I take out our blasters. We shoot them at Shadeback. He blinks his eyes then he disappears. Strongarm starts to run after him after hearing rustling as he escapes moving through the bushes. I put my blaster away and quickly grab her wrist.
"Strongarm, let him go. We need to check on Tracy and Bobby,"
A few moments later Optimus and the others show up. Drift deploys Jetstrom and Slipstream.
"Where is the Decepticon?"
"Shadeback escaped, and he hit Tracy and Bobby with his beam,"
"Where are they now?" Optimus asks.
I lead the team over to where Tracy and Bobby landed. I can't believe my optics when we arrive. We didn't see two humans in front of the tree. Now there are two mini-cons. One looks like a small earth fox, and its claws have the same design as Bobby's energem but are a darker shade of orange. The other mini-con is a dark blue or what the humans call indigo. It has two sets of silver wings that have the same appearance as the other's mini's claws.
"Strongarm, when you and Bobby were going over that friendship rule book. Did he happen to mention if he had a favorite Earth animal?"
"Yes, sir, he said it was a fennec fox," Strongarm answers.
Jetstorm and Slipstream walk over to them.
Tracy's POV
I slowly open my eyes and see one of Drift's mini-cons looking down at me. He is mostly red. I sit up and wonder why it feels like a gained over 200 pounds. I put my hand on my head to run my fingers through my hair. I tried not to panic when I didn't feel the smooth texture of my hair but the coolness of metal.
"You're Jetstorm, right?"
"No, I'm Slipstream. Jetstorm is helping Bobby. Are you alright?" Slipstream says.
"Sorry, I'm a tad confused by this new perspective." I apologize as Slipstream help me to my feet.
"Shadeback's beam turned you and Bobby into Mini-cons," Slipstream says.
"That would explain why I feel like I've gained a ton of weight and my head covered in metal. I have a question, do I have wings?"
"Yes, two pairs. What earth animal has two sets of wings?" Slipstream answers.
"That would be a dragonfly, Well at least I have my voice back," I sigh.
Slipstream and I walk over to Bumblebee.
"So, we head back to the scrapyard to see if Fixit can figure out how to change you and Bobby back to their human selves?" Strongarm suggests.
"Good idea cadet," Bumblebee says.
"So how are we going to get back?" Bobby and I ask.
"What about you use your other form," Optimus answers.
"How do we do that, exactly?" I ask.
"Just try to think of your animal, and you should change into the form," Optimus says.
Normal POV
Tracy and Bobby think of their favorite animal. Bobby does a back flip then changes into his fennec fox form. Tracy takes a few steps back, so she has enough room to do an aerial flip. Then hears the rapid flapping sound of her wings as they help her hover in the air. She finds enough courage to fly over to Bumblebee. Then did spin, and changes back into her robot form before trying to land on his shoulder. She misses his shoulder and tries to catch herself by grabbing on to one the door on his back. Her fingertips brush the top but quickly takes hold of the handle.
Slipstream runs over and stands below her. Tracy refuses to look down she just tightens her grip. It causes Bumblebee to wince in pain.
"Sorry, Bee," Tracy apologizes.
Tracy quickly looks down at the mini-con and sees how far it is to the ground. Then starts to have a flashback of that day she and her friends climbed the rock climbing wall at the school fair. The next thing everyone sees is her body stiffen up and tightens her grip even more that it is causing the door handle to break. A few seconds later it breaks off, and she quickly drops to the ground. Slipstream catches her and helps her back to her feet.
"Thank you Slipstream," Tracy says.
"You're welcome," Slipstream says.
Tracy looks down at her left hand and sees Bumblebee's broken door handle. A massive wave of guilt flow over her. Then the team sees her drops it and run into the forest.
"I'll go after her; we'll meet up with the rest of you at the scrapyard," Bumblebee says.
Strongarm and the team nods. Jetstrom un deploys onto drift, but Slipstream remains by Bumblebee's side.
"Master Drift, I would like to go with Bumblebee," Slipstream says.
"Why," Bobby asks.
"I'm not sure, but a have this feeling it is something I need to do," Slipstream answers.
"Okay, Slipstream, let's go," Bumblebee says.
