"Human speech"
A week had passed, I know this because I had an internal clock, if I was still a human I would not have known this. Within that time I had grown stronger, I was now able to walk once more, I had also learned about many of my new abilities from the Allspark. and how tall I am, twelve feet, only twice as tall as the average human man, I am a little more than half the height of Blurr! At least I am taller than Jaydon. And I have two katanas!I had also learned from her, how to use my wings to fly, though I have not tried it yet, I was going to today. There is a camera in each corner of my cell, my plan is to fly up to them, and tare them off the walls. After that I could attempt to escape, by breaking down the large door, and hope for the best. Because that is the best plan ever, NOT! But it was a plan.
Like a bird of prey about to takeoff, I crouched, spreading my wings out. Then I leapt into the air, forcing my wings downwards. and figuring out how to balance myself, I flew up to the top, grabbing the cameras and yanking them out one by one, and dropping them on the ground. "Hi and bye!" I say into the last camera before I yank it out. The alarms start going off... Veerryy loouud. Yeah... I need to act fast. I land, and start banging up the larger door, throwing myself against it, that kinda stuff. My katanas wouldn't work for this. You know in the movies, where the monster is about to get out of its cage, and it bangs itself against the door a few times before bursting out? Yeah that is not the case with me. I was exhausted by the time I broke out. Okay, the part where there are several men with guns pointing at the monster is very true for me. Also I have no idea why I was comparing myself to the 'evil' monster.
I just stood there for a second, I. Am. Screwed. Well then. "NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!" I screeched, charging towards the men, before flying over them. They started shooting at me. But can you blame them? Something twice as tall as them, was charging towards them and is now flying over them! I would do the same in their position!
Not so surprisingly they were good shots... and I got hit... a lot. But the bullets didn't penetrate my armour, maybe they haven't dealt with cybertronians before. However a few bullets got lodged in my joints. That was going to make movement difficult. I landed an started running, I couldn't let them catch me!
I entered a very large room. I felt cooler in here, then I saw why, in the middle of the room is a VERY large and very frozen cybertronian, I would say about thirty-five feet in height. I just stood there for a moment in awe and wonder. He appeared to be VERY menacing. I started searching for some sort of control panel to turn the ice machine off.
S7 workers and soldiers streamed into the massive room. Many with packs that had the same substance in them as what was being used to freeze the giant mech. This is not good. Some strange trucks rolled in the room, a quick scan showed that they are heavily armored with a harpoon/grappling hook type deal. They are also very large, indicating they are heavy and difficult to pick up. These are built to take down cybertronians with. For a brief moment, time seemed to stop, then kick back into high gear as the harpoons fired and the freeze packs were spraying at me, there were also larger trucks spraying the freezing liquid/gas.
I had managed to avoid the first few bola ropes before one finally wrapped around my arm, and after that, I was fair game to everyone else. The bolas wrapping around my limbs, restraining me, as people and machines sprayed me with ice. One wraps around both my legs, causing me to collapsed. As the ice froze my joints, making them lock up, and freeze my systems a warning popped up in my vision.
warning:
Extreme elements. Energon frozen. emergency shut down: activated.
just what I needed. I felt my systems slowly go into hibernation, and as they did, my vision started to darken, and my optics dim, then the world went black.
My optics flickered for a moment, my system humming to life, as I came out of recharge. 'What happened?'
"you attempted to escape, and you were frozen instead." Sparks says, very bluntly.
Not all of my systems came online, which made things MiSeRaBle. I can't move, I can't feel, or hear that much, and my processor is in a fog. I slowly realize that I am frozen. Not sure if it's the same cell or not, I think there's frost on my optics, but I can see blurs moving around the place, also snippets of conversations. One voice was more apparent than the rest, "we'll... ... tomorrow, can't..." I can't catch the whole sentence, I'm not even sure what they're talking about.
I allowed myself to slip back into recharge.
I awoke to the feeling of being moved, I was still frozen, so I couldn't look around. But the lights kept moving across my vision. It felt like I was going up a ramp now, the light is dim here... wherever here is. It was warmer in here, I assume that they can't take as many of there ice machines in here. More of my systems where coming online as the energon started thawing.
After a bit, it felt like the room I am in started moving, then it felt like it was going up... like a plane... then it hit me, I am in a plane! The frost on my optics melted away, and I was able to see my surroundings, I'm in a cargo plane! I really wanted to get out of this ice now! If I could heat up, or light myself on fire safely... the ice around my neck had melted away now. I looked around, and saw that giant mech! The ice wasn't melting off of him for some reason, that is until the rest of the ice melted off of my helm. I could feel the environment warming up around me. I stayed still until the rest of the ice had grown weak. The humans noticed the ice melting, and were immediately freaking out. But it was too late. I began to break away the ice on the other mech, the ice was melting as I touched it. I realize that I am the source of heat that is melting all the ice! And that is why the humans can't refreeze me!
An alarm blared, "WARNING, WARNING, CAPTIVE ESCAPE, INITIATE EMERGENCY PROTOCOL!" The humans started evacuating the plane, I felt like this thing was going to blow up now.
'And why did you not tell me about this before?'
"it was simply to early, you were also to weak, and I am not supposed to infer... much."
I could sense some sort of stress in her voice, but I couldn't tell why. She probably wouldn't tell me what was bothering her anyway. As I was almost finished freeing the mech, his optics flickered to life, they are a terrifying shade of red. Suddenly they ice around him seemed to explode! I reeled backwards into the side of the plane from the shock of it.
He let out a loud roar, "I AM MEGATRON!"
I spoke quickly, "yeah that's great, but I think we should hurry up and FREAKING GET OUT OF HERE!"
He gave me an offended glare, like he hated being ordered around, especially by a femme who is so much smaller than him. His arm transformed into a massive cannon, it glowed as he aims in my direction. I quickly drop to the ground as he fires. It blew a massive hole in the door.
"YOU NEARLY HIT ME!"
"But I didn't. Now stop screeching youngling." He sounds so calm... and annoyed... not that I can blame him for that, considering how loud I was shrieking. He walks past me, and climbs out of the hole. I quickly follow, practically jumping out of it.
As soon as he falls a distance away from the plane he transforms into a jet, one of which I have never seen before, probably not of earth origin either.
I hesitate about letting go of the plane, having no alternative mode, flying would be giving my wings quite the work out, and there are also all these fighter planes, to large for me to scan, I might add. Though they seemed to be going after that Megatron guy, who quickly took them out. I could see several parachutes below me, probably the scientists and pilots from the plane. "Well, I did always want to go sky diving." I mumbled to myself. I jumped off, falling for a little bit, before spreading my wings, slowing my fall, and then gaining control, and flying. Soon after, the cargo plane exploded, it sent out shock waves that disrupted my flight quite a bit, but I quickly regained control.
Megatron flew up beside me, careful to avoid my wings. "where is your alt mode youngling?"
"I don't have one." I let out a small growl.
"we'll have to find you one, youngling."
"My name is Starfire!" I snapped, even though it seemed to be what he wanted, to know my designation.
For some reason he wobbled a bit when I said my designation. Weird. It was a few moments of awkward silence before he said, "I found a place to land."
it took about another hour before we arrived, by then I was exhausted. It was a massive, and old junkyard. It looked as if it had been abandoned for some time. I stumbled a little during my landing, and nearly tripped a few times. I was beat.
Megatron landed easily, and watched as I struggled to stay steady. "we find you an alt mode tomorrow, then leave."
"Leave? Where?" I noticed how he stopped calling me 'youngling'
"To find my troops." So does that mean he is some sort of commander? That would explain why he looked angry when I was ordering him around.
I simply nodded, growing more exhausted every minute, I started searching for a place to hide and sleep. I found one spot, it was a clearing with some caves of scrap metal and such around it. Megatron walked over with a bunch of old tires, he placed them in the middle and lit them with his cannon. A thick black smoke rose from the tires. I crawled into one of the smaller caves, Megatron sat by the fire, keeping watch. I drifted off to a deep recharge. Only to have my nightmare haunting me through the night, I was unable to wake up however, eventually though, I came into a dreamless recharge.
Megatron took watch, needing to process what all went on that day. He didn't really pay attention to the little femme who called herself Starfire. He walked through the junkyard a bit. This youngling bears the same colors, and many of the same features as his sparkling had, even the same name! But it was impossible for that to be his creation, his had offlined little time after she was created.
He walked back towards their 'camp', Starfire was thrashing around in her recharge and making terrible screeching noises, he knelt down and shook her, in an attempt to wake her up, all that happened was her freaking out more. He felt a pang of fear in his spark, not of his own, he felt the need to comfort. He reached out with his spark, in an attempt to reconnect an old bond, and succeeded. It was a creation/creator bond, he felt fear from his creation flood into his spark, he sent comforting pulses though the bond. The fear faded away, and Starfire stilled. It was probably all just a coincidence, he thought. But still. A small part of him said it was no coincidence.
"Get up." a strong voice pierced through my recharge.
I let out a grumble/growl, and curled up in defiance. "mph,go away." I felt annoyance and rage come from some other being
"Get up NOW." I heard a small explosion outside of my cave. I jumped up with a start, and a small shriek, hitting my head against the roof. A small amount of amusement came from the being. "We need to get moving. Unless you want your squishy friends after us again.
oh yeah... Megatron. "They are called humans. And I'm coming." I crawled out of the cave. He tossed a blue cube towards me. 'Hey sparks, what is this.
"energon."
'oh. Hehe.' I opened up the cube and consumed the substance greedily. "thanks."
Megatron turned, and started walking away. "let's get moving."
I quickly trailed after him.
