"talking"
'thoughts'

disclaimer: i don't own transformers cybertron or anything else crossed over with this fic, SO SHUT UP ALREADY!!!

It was around 10 A.M. when Reika woke up.'Andim must still be asleep', she thought,'She was pretty much wiped out yesterday'. She got up and walked into the bathroom(don't ask) and took care of her personal hygiene. Once she got out of the shower and dried herself off, she walked back into the bedroom while towel-drying her hair. Before she could grab her clean clothes, she heard the door open behind her. She turned around and saw Jetfire standing in the doorway, gawking at her, completely stupefied. Reika let out an extremely loud high-pitched scream.

(meanwhile)

Andim awoke to her sister's scream. She was so startled, she rolled off the bed and fell to the floor, tangled within the bed sheets. Once she managed to free herself, she ran out the door to find a very unusual sight. Jetfire was standing outside of Reika's quarters, covering his visor with one of his hands, and being bombarded by several objects that Reika was throwing while he repeatedly said "sorry!" over and over. It took all of Andim's willpower to keep from laughing her ass off as Jetfire ran out of sight. As soon as Jetfire was gone, Andim picked up everything that Reika had thrown at poor Jetfire and walked into Reika's room.

Once inside, Andim noticed that Reika grabbed the blanket in an attempt to cover herself and that she was blushing like mad."Oh man, that was so embarrassing! I can't believe Jetfire saw me naked just now!", was all Reika could say, a look of total humiliation etched across her face."Well, at least Jetfire will remember to knock from now on", Andim replied. With that said, Andim walked out of the room just in time to se Optimus run down the hall(1) and, literally, skid to a halt in between hers and Reika's quarters with a worried look upon his face."What happened!? I heard screaming!", came the voice of the concerned leader."Yeah, Reika was screaming and throwing stuff at Jetfire a few minutes ago", was Andim's response."Why was she doing that?", Optimus asked, a bit confused. A sigh had escaped Andim's lips as she thought about how she was going to answer the mech."Jetfire kinda walked in on her while she was...............well, nude", Andim finally answered, suddenly feeling very uncomfortable. The commander's optics merely widened in shock for a few moments before chuckling a bit,"That explains why Jetfire was running with his optics covered, until he crashed into a wall". Andim just snickered a bit at the thought.

A bit later, after the whole Jetfire-walked-in-on-Reika fiasco, the twins returned to their duties. Coby and Lori arrived around 11:30 A.M., and Bud showed up around 12:45 P.M(2). Bud managed to find an Atlantis pattern in Mexico, however, it turned out to be an imitation. The mission was not an absolute failure though, Red Alert finally arrived on Earth and the coordinates of the Speed planet were revealed. Optimus sent Red Alert and Hotshot to Velocitron to try and find the cyber planet key before Megatron.

(the next day)

By the time Bud appeared after school(3), Andim, Optimus, Vector Prime, Landmine, and Overhaul were all a secret druid site in the British Isles. Reika had stayed behind(4) along with Scattershot and Jetfire, who was still getting over the shock of seeing a human female, naked. Bud was pretty much complaining over the fact that he was stuck at the base while his older cousin was probably having the time of her life."Bud, stop complaining. You're pissin' me off", Reika said in an annoyed tone(5). At that point, Bud decided to shut his mouth before she got mad. Completely bored out of his mind, Bud tried to get Jolt to let him go into space. Reika had her head phones and could not hear what Bud was saying(6). Jolt had managed to convince Scattershot to take Bud into space as a goodwill mission(join hands across the galaxy and blah, blah, blah). Reika was too busy searching for a new lead, in case this mission was a failure, to notice.

(on the British Isles)

Since she was the smallest one there, Andim was thoroughly checking the ruins for any potential clues as to the whereabouts of the Omega Lock while the autobots checked the surrounding area. She sighed in frustration as she checked the ruins for the fourth time and still found nothing."You guys having any luck? 'Cause I've got nothing over here", Andim called."I'm afraid we haven't found anything either", came Optimus' reply."Great", Andim said sarcastically as she left the ruins. If she was worried at all, then she hid it well. Ever since she woke up this morning she kept getting the feeling that something bad was going to happen. In fact, they very same feeling still lingered within her at this moment.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of laser fire from above. It was the decepticon seekers, Thundercracker and Starscream."Andim, hide!", Optimus managed to shout before he was hit by a plasma shot. Andim only nodded and swiftly hid in the crawlspace beneath a rock before one of the seekers saw her. It had only been a few minutes until her cell phone rang, the caller I.D. revealed it to be Reika."Reika, what is it?", came Andim's question."Andim?! Thank goodness you're o.k. Listen, Bud and Scattershot went up into space and were knocked off the space bridge!", Reika said quickly on the other line."What!?", came Andim's shocked reply."Jetfire tried to go after them, but a satellite hit them and sent them hurtling into Earth's atmosphere! They're heading to your location right now!", Reika finished."O.K.! Thanks for the heads up! I'll get back to you later!", Andim said as she hung up.

(in the sky)

Optimus and Vector Prime were trying their hardest to reach the sphere Bud and Scattershot were in before they crashed. They didn't get very far until Starscream them both by the leg. Overhaul had just obtained his own cyber key and launched an attack on Thundercracker. The blue jet took a direct hit and was sent spiraling out of control, straight into Starscream."Hey, stay away from me!", Starscream yelled right before Thundercracker crashed into him, causing him to release the two autobots.

As soon as the two were free, they kicked it into high gear to get to Bud. It wasn't long before they found him, but they were still pretty far off and it seemed like they weren't going to make it. That was when the strangest thing happened. Bud and Scattershot were warping away(7) just as the sphere they were in broke down. It looked like they were dematerializing into hundreds of small black pixels that immediately shot up into the sky until they vanished. The strange warp process was not the only thing that shocked Optimus and Vector Prime, what really shocked them the most was the strange, imp-like creature that it's back to them.

The imp perked its head a little and looked over its shoulder before turning halfway in the mechs' direction. The creature had black and grayish-white skin. The black areas appeared to cover certain parts of its body(MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!!) as well as both of its arms and one of its legs. Its chest pushed out a bit, indicating that it might be female. Along its arms, legs, and long ears were very familiar greenish-blue markings. There were a few small spikes on both of its arms and two curly spines on both sides of its neck. The imp appeared to be about three feet tall and had a slender body. Its eyes were strangely colored, the whites of its eyes were yellow while the iris was red with an orange hue. Its left eye was covered by the unusual helmet it was wearing. Its hair was orange-red in color with yellowish tips and was pulled back into a strange ponytail that was held in place by what looked like a stone ring. The strange being merely stared at the two mechs for a few seconds before warping away.

Optimus and Vector Prime were stunned for a few moments until the com. link came to life and brought them out of their stupor."Optimus?"came a soft voice,"It's Reika. You're not going to believe this, but Bud and Scattershot just appeared in the command center. But they arrived in a pretty strange fashion, thousands of tiny black pixels just shot down and formed their bodies"."But are Scattershot and Bud alright?", was Optimus' question."They're o.k., Bud's a little dazed right now, but he should come out of it sooner or later. Don't forget to bring Andim back with you.", Reika said as she hung up.

Optimus' spark nearly skipped a beat at the sudden realization that he had no idea where Andim was hidden(8). For a few minutes, he was searching for her, almost frantically, and prayed that the decepticons didn't capture her when he wasn't looking. His fear subsided when he saw her work her way out from underneath the rock's crawlspace. Once she came out of her hiding place, she stood up and dusted herself off a bit. Optimus' spark soon became filled with concern as he witnessed her collapse to the ground and slip into unconsciousness. Optimus practically ran(sorry, forgot to mention he was no longer in the air and was in his normal robot mode) over to her and gingerly picked up her unconscious body. He was extremely worried for her, he knew for a fact that humans don't just faint for no reason.

He shook her gently with his free hand until he heard a small groan. She let out another small, soft groan as she began to stir in his hand a bit. When she opened her eyes, her vision was clouded at first, but it cleared within a few seconds. Once her vision cleared, her eyes met with the worry-filled optics of the concerned leader."Are you O.K.?", Optimus asked her softly."Ah, I've had worse than this", came the teenage girl's reply as she sat up in his palm and rubbed some dirt off her check(FACE CHEECK PERVERTS!!!)."How long have I been out?", Andim questioned."About 10 Earth minutes", Optimus answered," But what caused you just faint like that?", he asked curiously."I... don't really know", she replied in a sort of confused manor. She merely shook her head before saying, "Let's just gather the troops and get outta here before someone sees you".

(SCENE CHANGE!!! ^_^)

'Why does he care?', Andim asked herself during the drive back to base.'No one else ever gave a s*** about me, besides Reika. Optimus did try to save Bud and he was worried about me when I passed out. I guess I can cut him a break.', she thought as they arrived at the base. Reika ran right over to her twin sister as she hopped out of Optimus."How did everything go over there? What do you think of the autobots so far?", Reika asked in a whisper."Everything was fine. I'm still getting used to the others, but Optimus seems O.K.", Andim whispered back."You mean you trust him!?", Reika whispered in shock."Yeah", Andim replied,"He's earned my trust".

Reika just stood there in shock,'OH. MY. GOD! Optimus actually earned Andim's trust!? He's the first guy outside the family to ever earn her trust! Maybe... he's the one who can heal her wounded heart', Reika thought. As she continued to ponder the situation, Andim was busy give Bud a noogie as punishment for going into space and nearly getting himself killed."AAHH!!! UNCLE! UNCLE!", Bud cried while trying to escape Andim's firm grip. Everyone in the room burst out in laughter as poor Bud continued to suffer his 'punishment'.

1)Optimus was the only other mech close enough to hear Reika's scream.

2)Bud had a half-day at school.
3)Bud got Saturday school for starting a food fight.
4)Reika has astma(is that spelled right?) and her inhaler broke.
5)Reika was PMSing.
6)Reika got tired of hearing Bud's complaining
7)The imp was the one who warped Bud and Scattershot, not Jolt.
8)How could Optimus know where Andim was hiding with all the commotion going on?
