Chapter 4 LL

Chapter 4 LL

Luna could feel her heart start to race as she was still clutched in the hands of the giant robot. Her fear soon turned to amazement as she found herself inside a giant spaceship, but the walls were crumbled and full of holes with wires exposed. Looking through one of the holes her eyes nearly bugged out of her head as she saw the Earth.

It looked just like a bright blue marble with wisps of brown, green and white mixed into it. She was soon jerked from her thoughts as her captor walked into another room. There, five other robots stood with the giant purple, green one she know knew as 'Megatron' sat on a throne and looked over the rest.

"Hey Cyclonus, what's that you have in your hand?" asked a purple robot with horns on the side of its head that looked like handle bars and pink eyes.

"I'm not really sure." Said Luna's captor. "I just found it near those annoying brats that the Autobots keep around." That had been the final straw for Luna and she finally lost it.

"He you over grown blender, I am NOT an It, I'm a god damn HUMAN so would you all just quite with the damn creature thing?! And would you all at least open your eyes wide enough to figure out that I'm a freaking GIRL!!" Luna screamed at them. They all seemed surprised by this outburst because they could only stare at her.

"So that thing is a human?" asked one of the robots with what looked to be tracks as feet and a tan color.

"Guess so with what she just said." Said a scratchy voice of a robot that had wings and was red and white.

Suddenly Megatron snatched her from Cyclonus's hands. How he had walked over to them without her noticing she would never know, but she soon found herself sitting in his open palm as he brought her up to eye level.

"I have never seen a human such as you before." He said as she growled in his hands. Her instincts had taken completely over and they were telling her to attack, but they were also telling her to turn around and run like hell, so she only stood in his hand trying to make herself look bigger and more intimidating. Unfortunately it didn't seem to be working as Megatron only laughed at her actions.

"So you can talk can't you? Why don't you tell us who and what you are." Luna stopped growling and stood up on her feet, brushing her black skirt with her hands as she suddenly became very self-conscious.

"I'm Luna." She mumbled as she looked down at her hands. Her tail had curled up so it was more in between her legs as she showed she had submitted. She didn't know why, but the fear that she had felt of him had ceased a bit. Certainly it was still there, but now there was a bit of trust.

Suddenly feeling much braver, she flapped her wings until she was resting comfortably on his shoulder. This seemed to shock the room into silence once more where even Megatron was surprised.

Megatron then, surprisingly gently, picked her up and handed her back to Cyclonus.

"Take her to your quarters Cyclonus." Cyclonus only nodded dumbly and turned to leave. Seeing her opportunity she climbed up onto Cyclunus's shoulder and sat on her hunches as she was taken away to Cyclonus's room, but she could feel the eyes of the robots following her as she left.

After the two had entered Cyclonus's room, he set her on his desk and sat in his chair and starred at her. Looking at him straight in the eyes she cocked her head to the side in a curious manner, only to have Cyclonus mimic her movements.

"So," she started. "I don't think we've been properly introduced." Luna said. Cyclonus jerked up his head in surprise and then rubbed the back of it sheepishly.

"Yeah, your right," he said with a grin. He extended a finger out to her and said. "Well, I'm Cyclonus, but you can call me Cy. And you are?" he asked. Taking the finger in her paw she shook it and said.

"I'm Luna." To say the least the two hit it off quite well.

"So your parents just sent you away like that?" asked Cyclonus after Luna had finished telling him her story.

"Yup." She said a little glumly, pulling her knees closer to her chest and wrapping her arms around them more securely from her perch on Cy's desk "But I really don't mind. Grandma is really the only one who ever except me even when I was normal." Luna said brightening up. Then it hit her like a brick.

"GRANDMA!! O my god she must be so worried!!" Luna screamed as she jumped to her feet. Cyclonus seemed surprised by this sudden outburst as he jumped back in his chair.

"Cy my grandma is probably freaking out right now, can you take me back to see her to tell her I'm alright?" Luna asked hopefully.

Cyclonus looked at her thoughtfully for a while before saying. "Lets go ask the boss. If he says yes than I can probably get you to see her."

"Thank you!" Luna exclaimed as she flapped up to her wings so that she was again perched on Cyclonus's shoulder. He looked at her strangely before turning around and exiting into the hallway.

"It's gonna take me a while to get used to you being there." He told Luna as she only wagged her tail in response. Entering the throne room, also the control room, Luna saw that the other 'transformers', what Cyclonus said they were called, had left the room, and only Megatron was left.

"Cyclonus what do you want?" Megatron snapped, making Luna flinch a bit.

"Uhh, boss, can I take Luna home for a little bit to see her grandmother. She wont tell anyone and I'll be there to make sure she doesn't." said Cyclonus.

"Fine." Megatron said, putting a palm to his forehead, "Just don't let the humans or the Autobots find you." He said before going back to plotting the destruction of the Autobots and planning for their next encounter.

Cyclonus took her to the warp room and typed in the coordinates. "So this thing transports you anywhere in the world?" asked Luna once Cyclonus told her what it was.

"Pretty much." Said Cyclonus. "Hang on." He warned seconds before they were returned back to Earth's atmosphere.

Autobot base

The Autobots had returned to base and were all talking about the mysterious creature that had saved Alexis from becoming a pancake at the bottom of the cliff.

"I mean, I've never heard of a Earth creature like that before."

"It was a very unusual being indeed."

"Unusual? That thing was just plain freaky.

"Autobots, settle down." Optimus's voice called above all the others. He had watched as the strange creature had saved Alexis and had also watched as it flinched away from the group once they had started talking especially at what Alexis had said. He had seen its mouth, or muzzle, move but he had been to far away to hear what had been said. Turning to the kids and Hot Shot who seemed to be having their own conversation.

"What was that creature?" he asked. The kids looked at each other before turning back to him.

"We're not exactly sure." Said Rad. Looking back at Hot Shot he nodded and Hot Shot produced an image of the creature. Walking up to it he pointed at its wings.

"You see, the wings her appear to be batwings, but the rest of it appears to be more wolf, like its ears or its fur. Though I've never actually seen a wolf with blue fur.

"And look at its tail." Said Carlos pointing at it. "I've never even heard of an animal with a tail remotely similar to what this thing has."

"Guys, I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume that it's not an It. It's a girl." Said Alexis stepping closer to the image and pointed to the clothes that the wolf creature was wearing as well as the bulge in its chest.

"So what did the creature say to you 6 earlier? I was to far away to hear it." Optimus asked as the other Autobots started up again after hearing that the creature could speak.

"O yeah." Said Fred, remembering the last words that the 'girl' had said. "She said 'do you only see the thing, or do you see me.' I don't really know what it means but, she sounded pretty sad when she said it."

"And she kept on flinching every time we said 'It' or 'thing' or something like that." Billy said as he took another bite from his chocolate bar. "She probably really didn't like how we were talking about her." He explained.

"Well if I looked like her, I wouldn't either." Alexis said.

"This is all very strange news." Said Red Alert. "I do not think that the girl should be left with the Decepticons for long. No telling what they could do to her." He said.

"I agree with Red." Said Hot Shot.

"As do I." Agreed Optimus. "The next time we confront the Decepticons we must rescue the girl."

Luna staggered about before falling flat on her back and looked up at Cyclonus. It was late at night and a full moon hung above his head."Wow." she said still looking at him. "Why are they're four of you?" she asked giggling. Cyclonus laughed to.

"I'm not spinning, your brain is." he said back.

"Really?" asked Luna. "Then would you please tell it to stop." This made Cyclonus laugh all the harder.

"So" Cy started after he had regained his breath, "Where is your grandma's house?" Luna looked at him before remembering why they were there in the first place.

"This way, it's not far." she said before climbing to all fours and trotting off with Cyclonus keeping a good pace.

After about ten minutes they had reached the cozy little cottage that was Luna's temporary home. Motioning for Cyclonus to stay she walked up the steps and entered into the living room. Seeing as it was empty she walked into the kitchen where she found her Grandma sitting at the kitchen table.

"Luna!" she cried, jumping from her chair and pulling her into a hug. Pulling away, she grabbed Luna by the shoulders and demanded. "Where have you been!? I was so worried about you."

"Grandma," Luna started. "I need to tell you something that happened today, lets sit down." So as they both sat down at the kitchen table, Luna began to tell her story of what had happen the short hours she had been gone. During the entire story her grandmother remained silent, only nodding every now and then.

"So this, Cyclonus, is outside right now?" her grandmother asked once Luna had finished.

"Yes." Luna replied a little uncertain. Her grandmother stood up from her chair and headed for the front door. "Uh Grandma, what are you doing?" asked a confused Luna who was following her grandmother out the door.

"What does it look like little wolf?" asked her grandmother as she stood on the porch. Cyclonus was standing a little to the side of the house and was surprised when the elderly woman came strodding out of the house and was now walking towards him. Luna's grandmother stood at his feet before turning back to her granddaughter.

"So this is Cyclonus?" she asked Luna who didnt know how to answer her grandmother's calmness.

"Yes ma'am" she finally answered. Her grandmother looked back at Cyclonus who had kneeled down and extened a finger. Luna's grandmother took it and shook it just as Luna had done a few hours earlier.

"Pleasure to meet you ma'am" he said. Luna wasn't sure if it was real politness or if he was just trying to get on her grandmother's good side. Apparently it was working because Luna's grandmother returned the greeting.

"Well Luna, if you think this is what you want, go right on ahead." she said looking back at Luna who only blanched.

"You serious!?" she asked her grandmother dumbly, who just nodded her head.

"Hey you met more friends today then you did in your entire life." she said, embarassing Luna a bit. "You know I'm not one to stand in a persons way." she said. Luna was truely touched of how much her grandmother really cared about her and couldn't stop her tail from wagging.

"Thanks Grandma." she said pulling her grandmother into a hug. After she had pulled away her grandmother turned back to Cyclonus once more and said.

"You better keep an eye on her or so help me I'll hang your pelt above my fireplace!" Cyclonus nervously laughed before agreeing that he would keep an eye on Luna. Luna's grandmother then ushered her inside to pack her things.

Once Luna was done packing, she ran down the stairs. She had only packed a few of her clothes into a black backpack she had borrowed from her grandmother. Besides, if her parents found out that something had happened to her suitcase they would throw a fit. The thought of her parents made her blood boil and she stopped at the foot of the steps.

Her parents. What where they going to think about this once they found out? Nothing, they were never going to find out, she decided. 'Even if they did it's not like they would care anyway.' she thought to her self as she headed outside where her grandmother and Cyclonus were waiting.

"I'm done packing." she said looking at her grandmother who pulled her into one last hug.

"You behave yourself, ya hear little wolf?" she said pulling away as Luna walked over to Cyclonus.

"Course I will Grandma." she said flying up to her respected perch on Cyclonus's shoulder. "And don't worry, I'll come back to visit soon." she called as Cyclonus turned to leave.

"You better!" her grandmother called back waving. Once they were out of ear shot, Cyclonus asked.

"Is she really gonna hang my pelt over her fireplace?" Luna only laughed.
