Transformers Animated: Different Angle

Chapter 4: Anything but a Jet!

Kylie looks at me, a look of confusion on her face. "Why did you say it like it's a big deal? You said the AllSpark is being protected by the Autobots, right? All we'd have to do is ask to borrow it."

I stare down at her in disbelief before pinching my brow, sadly shaking my head.

"What?" she asks.

"Its not that simple," I tell her. "We can't just walk up to them and say, 'Hey, so we know you have the AllSpark, can we use it quick?' Don't you think that would set alarms off in their heads?"

"Well, maybe if we explain to them what happened, maybe they will let us," she suggests.

This time I bury my face in my servos, shaking my head some more.

"Kylie, what on Earth makes you think they will believe us?" I ask, looking back down at her.

"What? We just tell them that we're from another dimension where we're human and this is all a tv show and we were sent here as...," It slowly dawns on her as she starts breaking up the last bit in realization "… robots by…. Two… All...Spark..." She slumps her shoulders, "I see your point."

I nod.

"So, what do we do?" She asks. She looks at me wide eyed, "You're not suggesting we steal it, are you?!"

I'm taken aback by this. "Wha… no not steal it! I mean confront it and ask it to take us back home."

"Ask it?"

"Did I mention it has a mind of its own?"

She looks at me with disbelief. "Are you serious?"

"Am I a giant robot?" I retort as I start walking again.

She runs up beside me. "But how would we…."

"I don't know," I say, "But look, we don't know for certain if we're in season one so lets not worry about it, okay?"

"Yeah, okay," she says. We stay quiet as we continue on.

Its not long before we come to the edge of the woods. We stay back behind the trees, now having a better view of Detroit. However, there's no more wood to travel through, not on foot that is.

However, I smile when I see a road not to far away, cars passing by as they head to and from the city.

"What now?" Kylie asks.

"Now we pick a vehicle we want and scan it," I explain.

"Right," she says. She then asks, "Uh, how do we scan?"

My smile drops. "No idea."

"Well, even if you do, I don't see any jets," she points out.

I look at her. "Who said I'd be stuck being a jet?"

She looks back at me. "You're a flyer aren't you?"

"So? I don't see any rule book saying flyers can't be land base vehicles."

"So you're going to be a flying car then?" she asks.

I pinch where my brow should be, letting out a vent. "I'm not going to be a flying anything," I tell her.

"I'm just thinking with the wings and all..." she starts before I cut her off.

"Look, I'm not being a jet. I'll scan anything but a jet, even if it means transforming into a giant paddle boat," I argue.

"Is this because of what happened back at the lake?"

"I'm not being a jet!" I snap.

She raises her hands, "Okay! Sheesh!"

Guilt comes over me as I release a vent. "I'm sorry. I just don't think I'm ready to try flying anytime soon, so can we please just let it drop?"

She looks at me, then gives an understanding nod.

We look back down at the road. As I see cars drive by, I mentally pray that one for my size will drive by soon. Heck, I hope I can even be able to scan a land base vehicle. Its not long before I see something that catches my eye…. Optic.

I'm not all familiar with vehicles, but what I see looks like a sleek hybrid semi truck. This one is white, though I doubt it will affect my color scheme. Deciding I like it, I try to figure out how to scan it.

"Come on, before it gets away," I mumble to myself. Just then something happens. Before I know it, a beam shoots out of my optics, engulfing the truck in a cube like shape. It's not until it passes by the beam disappears, making me worry.

Did it scan?

Its not until I feel my body shifting that I look down. I see two sets of wheels along the sides of my shins, one in each shoulder, and a set of headlights on my shoulder armor, disproving my doubts.

"Yes!" I say, doing a fist pump.

Kylie looks at me, baffled. "How did you do that?"

I shrug. "I really don't know. I was thinking I really wanted to scan that truck, and it just happened."

She looks back down at the road. However, its not long before she gets picky. "No….. no….. oooh… no."

After a few minutes, I roll my optics. "Will you just pick one already."

She vents. "Fiiiiiiiiine," she says. She looks until she sees what looks like a red beetle coming down the road.

"That one!" she says, pointing at it. She looks at me frantically, "How do I scan?"

"Just focus on wanting to scan it. Worked for me," I tell her.

She stares it down, chanting, "I want to scan it, I want to scan it, I want to scan it, I want to scan it."

I can't help but chuckle at her attempt. However this does work as a beam shoots out of her optics, engulfing the vehicle in a cube shape. The beam dissolves as the car passes on. I watch as her armor shifts and morphs, showing parts of the car. Her look is very similar to Bumblebee's, only instead of a smart car, she's a beetle.

"How do I look?" she asks, striking a pose.

"Like an autobot," I say with a smile.

She smiles back. "Coming from you, I will take that as a compliment. You look like one too. Though its hard to see you as a truck with your wings."

I look to see my wings still there. I shrug, "Meh, I can live with that."

"So…. Now what?" Kylie asks.

"Now… we transform."

Seeing how focusing on scanning worked, I decide to try focusing on transforming. Its not long before I feel my joints shift and fold as my head gets tucked in. In all honesty, it just feels natural, kinda like walking or running. Next thing I know, I'm looking through my headlights at my friend, a look of awe on her face.

I mentally smile big as my inner fangirl comes out.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!" I screech excitedly. "I can't believe I just transformed! Oh man, if I am dreaming, nobody wake me!"

Kylie laughs as I strut my tires. "Well, what do you think?"

"Very nice," she says before looking over to my side, chuckling, "Never seen a truck with wings before."

"What!?" I turn my sideview mirrors, now seeing through them...

….Weird.

Sure enough, I see my wings pressed flat along the side of my alt mode, the top of them sticking out the back.

I let out a vent. "Well, there had to be a place for them somewhere," I mumble, "Does it look weird?"

She pauses for a moment. "No."

I mentally frown. "You hesitated."

"I only paused," she says.

"That's still hesitating."

"It doesn't look that bad," she assures me.

"That bad?"

"Not what I mean! It looks… different."

I vent. "Great. This might make laying low a bit difficult for me."

Kylie shrugs. "Perhaps, but I think it does suit you. Gives you more of that edgy look which you like."

I look back at my side, really looking at it.

"I guess it really doesn't look that bad," I say. Heck, I think I actually do like it. "I just hope it doesn't attract too much attention."

"My turn," she says. It takes her a while, but finally she is able to transform. Her headlights flash on and off excitedly at her accomplishment.

"Okay, I might not be a transformers fan…. But this is pretty cool," she says.

"Looking good," I compliment.

We rev our engines, making us laugh with excitement.

"Wait, Jacy," Kylie says worryingly, "I don't have a driver's license."

"Since when do you need a license to drive yourself?" I ask.

"Hey, I never thought of it that way," she says happily. She revs her engine again. "Lets do this!"

Next thing I know, she goes in reverse at full speed, letting out a scream as she gets herself wedged between two big trees. Her tires spin as she tries to free herself. When that doesn't work, she transforms back into bot mode, still wedged in.

"Help!" she squeaks.

I transform back into my bot mode and grab hold of her arms, trying to pull her out.

"I can see why you don't have a license already," I say as I pull.

"Oh shut up!"

I chuckle as I keep pulling, "Man, you're really wedged in. How did you get yourself into this?"

"I only backed up into them! Its not my fault these trees grew inwards."

"And its not their fault you grew outwards," I point out.

Her mouth drops as she glares at me, making me realize what I just said.

"That's not what I meant!" I say defensively, "I mean you're a giant robot now," I shut my optics tight after realizing what I also just said, "I mean…..!"

"Hey! I may be a giant robot, but I'm not that big. Curvy yes, but not big," she huffs.

"Okay! I wasn't trying to…. Will you just help me out here!" I argue as I continue to keep pulling.

"How?"

"Shift, squirm, do something," I say.

We continue for some time until I finally get an idea. I plant my stabilizing servos into the ground, getting a good grip on her arms.

"Okay, on the count of three, I'm going to try and yank you out," I say. She nods as I get myself ready. "One….. two..."

"Hey wait, I think I can move my..."

"THREE!" I yank.

Oomph!

I hear a scream as I land on my butt. I look up to see Kylie no longer between the trees. I look around. I actually can't see her anywhere now.

"Kylie?"

"GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!"

I look behind me and gape when I see Kylie…. Now UP in a huge tree!

I panic. "Oh shoot, Kylie HANG ON!" I shout as I run over towards my friend.

SNAP!

Soon as I get there, the tree snaps from under her, making her fall to the ground… and on top of me.

Oomph!

I hit the ground on my front, my face now in the dirt with Kylie right on top of me. I groan in pain as she gets into a sitting position on my back.

"Ouch! That hurt," Kylie says, "Jacy, you okay?"

"Gmm ufff," I grumble.

"What?"

I lift my head, spitting dirt out of my mouth. "Please get off of me," I say.

"Oh, sorry!" she says, hopping of me. Groaning, I pick myself up, dusting the dirt off me.

"No, I'm sorry," I apologize, "I didn't mean to yank you that hard."

"Well, I should have told you sooner I got my shoulder unstuck from the tree," she says, "But I will say this…. Man you're strong!"

I chuckle a little. "Guess I don't know my own strength." I say, dramatically flexing my arm.

We just laugh.

"Come on. Sooner we learn to drive, sooner we can go sight seeing," I say.

"Okay," she agrees as she transforms. But before she can go, I stop her.

"Maybe we should do it away from the trees this time," I suggest.

She transforms back to bot mode, a sheepish grin on her face as she puts her hand behind her head.

"Yeah, maybe we should."

(Third POV)

(Somwhere else in the woods)

Back at the area where the girls first awaken, a deer is making its way across as it stops to nibble at the grass. A sound then breaks the silence, making the deer lift its head up with its ears twitching. It listens as the sound gets louder and louder until….

BOOM!

The deer takes off like a shot just as something lands a little ways away.

This something turns out to be some bot. A femme with sleek black wings perched on her back with black armour, giving her a very edgy look, and purple under armour. Her helm is black with a gray face, black lips, and crimson red optics that begin scanning the area. The corner of her mouth twitches.

BOOM!

Another bot lands beside her. This time a mech. He too is a flyer with gray wings, dark magenta armour with gray shins, and a very dark purple colour that looks almost black for his stabilizing servos, forearms, torso, and helm. His red pupil-less optics glance around, a sneer forming on his long gray face.

"Of course, we had to detect an AllSpark reading right in the middle of an organic dirt patch," he complains, kicking down a tree.

The femme rolls her optics. "Here is where the AllSpark energy is suppose to be," she says as she looks around. She lets out a vent, "Unfortunately, there's nothing here. Not anymore at least."

The mech huffs, "Blame Lugnut. If he didn't start that cave in, we would have gotten here much sooner," he shrugs, "Well we're here now. Go on, start searching."

She stops looking and turns to him, glaring daggers. "Need I remind you, Starscream, that we were sent here to BOTH search?"

He folds his arms. "I'm sorry, but in case you forgotten, Airstrike, I am your superior officer as Megatron's second in command, meaning you do what I say."

She approaches him, "And in case YOU forgotten, the reason you still have that title is because I didn't rat you out to Megatron. And I can still do it," she says threateningly.

He growls as he grabs her by the throat, bringing her face close to his. "Not if I eliminate you first," he says in a dangerous tone, tightening his grip.

Airstrike struggles a little as she places her servos on the one gripping her neck, glaring back at him. "And if you do, how would Megatron handle it if you return not just without the source of the energy, but also without his intel officer? Tell me that…. Commander."

They keep glaring at one another, not one saying a word. Finally, the Decepticon SIC releases her. She swats his servo away as she rubs her neck cables.

"How long do you really think that will save you," he growls as he walks past her.

She scowls at him. "Long enough," she mumbles to herself as she follows.

They walk around the area, scanning for any clues they can find. Airstrike looks over and is puzzled to see two trees knocked over on their sides, knowing neither she nor her comrade were the cause of it. Its not until she stumbles upon something interesting.

"Starscream!" she calls out.

Starscream whips his head around and walks over towards her. She points at the ground.

"We're not the first ones here," she says, pointing at two sets of foot prints.

Starscream looks at them, frowning. "The Autobots?" he asks.

Airstrike studies them more carefully. "the smaller set, maybe," she says, "But these bigger ones, I can't tell. Whoever they are, must have the source of that energy spike."

Starscream looks up to where the tracks lead, a smirk making its way across his face.

"Not for long," he comments.

Transforming back into their jet modes, they follow after the trail.

Uh oh! I know I said I hope to bring the bots in soon, but why not bring in a well known con while I'm at it lol. Airstrike is a character I came up and plays an interesting role in this story.

But what will happen? Will they find the girls? Will Jacy ever try to fly?

Feel free to review and hopefully I can update chapter 5 soon so we can find out more :)
