~Laura's POV~
"Dammit it all this whole thing sucks!", I cried running far away as I could from the junkyard and hid from the soldiers that were crawling all over the place. "The old spot huh? I wonder if I can even make it", I then sunk to the ground and groaned. "Why oh why must I have the power to heal? Couldn't I have gotten something useful in this situation like oh I don't know super speed? Flight? Turn invisible? I mean if I see a soldier what am I gonna do? Cure all his broken bones and get rid of his or her cold? Yeah that'll help me out plenty".
I then sighed as I got up and looked around my surroundings, "Well it looks like I'm in the clear", I said as I snuck away from my hiding spot behind the garbage can and moved to turn a corner but as I was about to make a break for it I gasped when I saw a big yellow ambulance in my way. "Damn it all", I said under my breath. Then looked at the ambulance again, "Hey excuse me? Can you back up a little so that I may get by you?", I asked hoping the person driving it wouldn't ask why I simply could just go the other way.
Instead no one answered the ambulance stayed and didn't move at all, at first I was just gonna see if I could walk around it but then it moved in slower and slower coming towards me. "Wow hey there pal what the hell are you doing?!", I would have ran the other way but there were still soldiers. Quickly I went in the other direction and prayed that it wasn't a dead end.....unfortunetly God hates me so my prayers were not answered.
For there was no way out, I was about to turn and take my chances with the soldiers when all of a sudden there was the yellow ambulance as if blocking my path. I growled and got into a fighting pose I know I probably couldn't win but I was not going to get taken so easily. "Ok come on out! I know your working for the government so just get it over with", I cried and waited.
At first nothing happened and I got agitated but then the Ambulance started to move and before I knew it I was looking straight up at a giant robot that was about more then ten times my size if not taller and bigger. "Oh my~", was all I could say then became speechless for I couldn't find the words to describe my shock.
The robot then looked at me and crouched down to my eye level so that I was staring at it straight in the face. "Please don't be alarmed little one", it said in a sincere tone.
"It talked", was all I could say not really caring if he was sincere.
"I know this maybe shocking but I mean you no harm I am only here to~", was all I heard next as he continued for I swayed back and forth barely able to stand up. The next thing I knew I was on the ground and then everything went black. Today was definately one of the worst days of my life.
~Rachet's POV~
I was able to find one of the human females she asked to move around me obviously wanting to run away from the soldiers, well I of course couldn't allow that and advanced trying to get her to a secluded area so that I could talk with her. Once I did and transformed I thought I would be able to rationalize with her. But when I tried to explain I meant her no harm she fainted right there in front of me. I didn't know whether to felt happy or insulted about it.
For one thing this made getting her back to the junkyard a lot easier, on the other hand she fainted 3 minutes after I transformed making me speculate that I had a somewhat frightening appearence. "Well this is both rather easy and awkward", I said scratching my helm.
One of the soldiers then came running in it was Major Lennox himself he looked at me then at the fainted girl then back at me again. "Do I even want to know?", he asked.
"Don't worry she fainted frankly I'm a little insulted", I replied answering the question anyway.
The Major then sighed and shook his head, "To be honest Rachet I am not surprised that she did faint. I mean look at it this way she's a human girl who didn't know the existence of Transformers then all of a sudden she see's a robot twice her size who if he wanted to could squash her like a bug. Not saying that you ever would just sayin its only logical", he told me as he went over to the girl and picked her up with both arms. "Well let's head back to the junkyard care to give us a ride Rachet?", he asked.
"To a place that's only a few blocks away?", I asked but transformed anyway and opened the back door to the med area of my alt mode.
"Hey can't look too suspicious now can we? What would people think if they saw me carry an unconcious girl around the block?", he asked and I didn't answer for truthfully I had no idea what human's would speculate. Sometimes the human imagination amazed me.
~Kelsea's POV~
"Man this sucks!", I cried running for my life. "Why is the army all over our asses for?! Do they know about us? But how and when in hell did they?! God this is such a pain", I then glanced at the corner of my eye and saw Jessica and Amber they were heading into an alleyway together. I decided to follow hoping they knew a good hiding place. "Hey guys wait up", I cried. They turned and scowled at me and dashed into the alleyway.
"Wha? How rude!", I cried and ran harder after them. They saw me coming and ran to the left I followed but then stopped and gasped. For what stood before me was a wall with no door or ladder or anything. No way out they had just disappeared out of thin air. "Oh my God! How the hell did they do that?!".
Suddenly a big black truck drove itself down the alleyway giving me no way to escape. "Ahh Shit this ain't good", I said and turned to the truck. "Hey dude care to move out of the way please?!", I cried and in response the truck just revved its engine and moved forward closer to me.
"Hey pal what the hell do you think your doing?!", I cried getting super pissed. "Back it up bub what are you trying to do run me over?", in retrospect that was probably the worst thing to say at the moment. Luckily the truck didn't advance anymore it just stopped and parked right there. This got on my last nerve, "Alright pal your asking for it! Don't say I didn't warn ya!", my hands then glowed for this happened everytime I was about to use my power which was super strength. I could punch a whole through almost anything I say almost cause I haven't punched through many stuff.
"This is what you get for messing with me pal!", I cried and punched as hard as I could at the hood of the truck. With a normal truck I would have punched a hole right through it but for some reason with this truck I was only able to make a small dent. "Huh?", I said. "What in the~", I started but was interrupted.
"Ow! That hurt you little brat!", a deep males voice screamed at first I thought it was the guy driving the truck but then I looked closer through the windsheild and almost fell flat on my butt from shock when I saw there was no one driving it. That meant only one thing.
"The-the-the t-t-truck just sp-p-oke", I said stepping back only to have my back against the wall.
I tried to calm down and think things through logically but all my logic was thrown out the door the minute that truck transformed from a truck to giant black robot.
"Ahh shit I did not see that coming", I said and tried hard to keep myself from fainting when the robot transformed both his arms into what looked like two canons kinda like Thorn's only a lot bigger and could probably kill me in an instant. I was about to beg for my life when all of a sudden at least five soldiers came and surrounded me guns pointed at me.
"Come with us peacefully and quietly", one of them said. I immediately raised my arms in the air in surrender more to the giant robot then to them. "Good work Ironhide now all were missing is three more."
So the giant robot was working with them it figured, could it be they built it? Nah the government wasn't that smart to create giant robots of mass destruction so they had to be alien.
"I'll go peacefully just please tell that one to put his weapons down please!", I pointed to the robot they called Ironhide.
One of the soldiers an African American looked at him, Ironhide glared at me one last time then turned his weapons off. I sighed in relief and let them lead me to where they kept the others. There I saw two more giant robots both yellow though one had what looked like sirens, and the other had black stripes.
"Kelsea!", Laura and Tara cried as they ran and hugged.
"Oh I'm so glad you guys are alright", I then glared at the two robots. "Did they corner and threaten you too?", I asked.
The girls gave me a confused look and then blushed. "Umm no", Tara said as she laughed. "I ran into a car door and was knocked out cold by accident by the striped robot over there", she said pointing to him who waved for some odd reason at me.
Laura looked at the ground and blushed also, "Once the medical bot over their transformed I fainted and was brought here", she said.
This annoyed me greatly, "Figures all of us get cornered by alien robots and I'm the one who gets captured by the one who's trigger friendly!", I then sighed and slumpt right onto the ground but then gasped as I realized who else we were missing. "Thorn she isn't here, is she still on the run?", I asked.
The two girls nodded, "They haven't been able to find her, and I don't know if they will Thorn is great at hiding", Tara stated.
But Laura sighed obviously she wasn't too sure. "I don't know Tara, there is one more robot there that blue and red truck from before he must be one of them. They might have ways of tracking her down I think its only a matter of time."
"Yeah and they'll probably get Amber and Jessica", Tara said but I snorted both girls looked at me confused so I explained what happened in the alleyway and they both grew wide eyed like me.
"I think they both are traitors I never trusted them in the first place", I grumbled. "I was only nice because Thorn said it was the right thing to do that we should help each other out. Well they didn't help me out when I needed it so their traitors next time I see them I'll break their faces."
Laura clenched her fist and growled, "I'll heal them so that you can beat them up again and again for you Kels", she said to me.
"Don't forget to let me get a few kicks and punches", Tara said also angry. "You betray one of us you betray all of us so get beat by all of us."
I smiled and together we punched each other's fists, and that was that the only thing we could do was wait and see if Thorn would be captured or if she'd be the one to get away.
~Thorn's POV~
I ran hard as I could I knew exactly who or should I say what was following me, everytime it seemed like I gave it the slip I'd find it there in the next minute driving beside me. The living car without a driver I tried hard to get away and not fall into any dead ends but Karma wasn't on my side. Soon I was caught in the one place I didn't want to be, a dead end. I growled and was about to turn back even though I knew it was hopeless there it was. The blue truck with red flames I could see that there was no driver and knew that I was not crazy. I growled at the truck then looked up, I could probably make it up there but not without suffering some damage.
"Please", a voice said from behind me. This caught me off guard I turned to see if any of the soldiers had caught up but there was no one but me and the truck. "Please", the voice said again as it came straight from the truck. "I just want to talk", it said I blinked a few times for I couldn't believe it was talking.
"Wha~ Who the hell are you?", I asked surprising myself by calling it a 'who' and not 'what'. Guess it was instinct for then the truck quickly transformed from an motor vehicle to a giant robot. I was awestruck but yet for some reason not surprised lord only knew why, any normal girl would probably faint or scream her head off right now. But then again I was no normal girl.
"I am Optimus Prime", he said as he bent down to my level as he spoke to me face to face. "I believe there are a lot of questions you want to ask about that arm of yours and about the special gifts your friends gained. I am the one who has the answers", he said.
My brain was screaming to run, but my heart told me to stay for something in the way he spoke to me told me that I could trust him. Something about him just seemed trustworthy that or I was more desperate for answers then I thought.
"Ok Mister Optimus Prime", I said to him puttin my hands on my hips and gave skeptical look. "Let's talk".
