Chapter 7: Within The Battle Part 1
Serenity's POV
I looked at the setting sun and let out a small sigh as I closed my eyes. "I hate this... I feel like someone else and not myself..." I thought. I opened my eyes as I noticed Naomi was starting to walk back to the base. I quickly turned around and ran after Naomi. "Hey! Wait up!" I called out. Naomi stopped and looked at me. "Hmm?" She said. I smiled slightly as I looked at Naomi. "I hope that Ironhide will be the same when he comes back..." I said. Naomi nodded her head as she smiled slightly. "He will be... Don't worry." She said. I nodded my head as I noticed all the autobots where waiting for us.
"Serenity... We have some news... Naomi can bring Ironhide back without you giving up your life." Ratchet said looking down at me. I blinked a few times and then looked at Naomi. "What exactly is your gift?" I asked. Naomi smiled at me as she looked over at Optimus then back at me. "I can control energy and turn other engery sources into electricity...I believe that my gift can bring Ironhide back." She said. I shook my head as I looked at Ratchet "What about his spark and spark chamber?" I asked. Ratchet sighed as he looked at me. "I rebulit his spark chamber but his spark has only a siliver left..." He said. I frowned as I gently touched my necklace and closed my eyes tightly.
(Vision)
I looked around to notice everyone screaming and running. "No..." I whispered. A Saleen Mustang pulled up and transformed. "I'll get you fleshling..." he growled. I shook my head and closed my eyes tightly as I felt something pick me up. "Don't worry, Serenity... I'm not gonna let these rotten Cons hurt you.." A familar mech voice said. "Ironhide?" I whispered.
(End Of Vision)
"Serenity? Serenity? Are you alright?" Naomi asked softly, walking over to the girl. I opened my eyes slowly and looked over at Naomi. "I... I had a vision... Everyone was screaming and running away... A Con showed up and said he would get me... T-Then... I heard Ironhide say 'Don't worry,Serenity.'." I said, feeling tears begin to bulid up. Naomi gave a faint smile and placed a gentle hand on Serenity's shoulder. "That must mean something Serenity. As in, you won't be dead when he comes back."
**Flashback**
Metal feet banged after the young girl, and her adrenalin spiked. Her lungs were on fire, her sides hurt, and her legs were soar, but its amazing what being chased by an evil alien robot can do to make you NOT collapse from exhaustion. "I will kill you fleshling!" The scratchy7 voice hissed, his feet stomping less than a foot away from Naomi Parker. "No! Stop Megatron!" She pleaded as he banged a fist a mere few inches from her face. She gave a yelp but stayed steady. Six years of being in the captivity of the evil Decepticons was quite enough, in Naomi's opinion. "You don't deserve to live, bug." He spat, lowering his metal face closer to hers slightly. Desperate, Naomi looked around, then relief silently washed over her. There was a power-line about fifteen yards only she could get him to knock it over... A crackle was heard as the girl clenched her fists until her knuckles were white. Her blue eyes shot open to see the electricity box at the top of one of the poles had exploded and white lightening-like energy was spewing from it and running down the lines. "Stop that at once!" The Decepticon Lord demanded, bringing his fist up and slamming it down again. Naomi winced as the earth beneath her gave a great tremble.
Oh, God. What if she wasn't strong enough. Gasping, she closed her electric blue eyes once more as all of the cables seemed to burst, and raw electricity leaped to the ground, pulsing like a living being. "STOP!" Megatron roared, Energon saliva falling on the girl and burning her ignored the searing pain, and focused all of herself on the electricity. Suddenly, it burst into the air, arched over Megatron, then crashed down on him, making him fall. Running from beneath him just before she was caught under him, Naomi gasped, as smaller sparks made their way to her. Crawling up her legs and latching onto her, they made the wounds on her body. Watching in amazement, Naomi dared not to move as the sparks placed themselves in the wounds. The burns, cuts, and bruises faded into nothingness as did the few sparkles of electricity. The sparking body of Megatron lie before her, twitching every once in a while. He wasn't dead... paralyzed. Silently, she broke into a run, away from the thing that had kept her from living a normal life. She came to a highway, as it began to rain... No, pour.
A large truck outlined the gray sky, and as it came into view, Naomi's mouth dropped, despite her "I am not shocked by anything anymore" attitude. A red Semi Peter-built with blue flames was making its way down the road, and followed by it was a yellow and black 2012 Chevy Camaro with black racing stripes, and a neon green Search-and-Rescue hummer. She knew these as the Autobots. She had never met them, never spoken a word to them, but had merely watched from the grasps of another Decepticon while Megatron and Starscream faced off with them. Staying completely still, Naomi watched as the three vehicles came to a halt. The Semi's smooth paint-job broke apart, shifted, and rearanged, until in its place stood a large, blue-eyed robot. Eyes like hers. He bent down, and with a gentle calmness, he said. "Naomi Parker. I see you have found a new ability in you. You are among a very few, only one we know of, who posses a certain skill. My name is Optimus Prime. I believe I have someone I would like you to meet."
**End Of Flashback**
I gasped slightly at seeing the flashback that wasn't mine, but Naomi's. "S-So that's how you met the autobots... I just saw your past memory of when you finally escaped Megatron and met up with the autobots..." I said looking over at Naomi. Naomi nodded, expressionless. "I was weak then, Serenity. I am now stronger. I believe that if I have enough energy, I can recharge and reboot Ironhides spark completely." She said with a solemn expression. "Doing this... Bringing Ironhide back... It won't hurt you, will it? I mean... I know basic information about your powers but thats it." I said looking down for a moment then back at Naomi. "I don't want this to end badly..." I thought.
Naomi sighed. "Either way someone will get hurt. I do not even know the full extent of this ability, and a Cybertronians spark is a very powerful thing. But, many things have showed me that when someone else needs you, you help them. I want to help you and Ironhide." She stopped and smiled a determined smile. "And just hope for the best."
I couldn't help but smile as I nodded my head. "Thank you, Naomi... I do hope for the best and everything turns out right." I said looking around at the Autobots then back at Naomi. "Ratchet? Is Ironhide's body ready for this?" I asked. Ratchet nodded his helm as he looked down at me. "Yes everything is in place." He said. Naomi smiled at Serenity, then looked at Ironhide. "I am ready." She simply said. I nodded my head as I walked closer to the berth that had Ironhide's body on it. "Then let's start." I said. But before anything else could be said a loud crash happened. "It's Starscream!" Ratchet called out. I frowned as I looked at Naomi then looked at Optimus. "Both of you go hide, now!" Optimus said. I nodded and grabbed Naomi's hand then tugged on it. "Come on, Naomi." I said.
Naomi's head snapped toward the noise, as her body began to tremble, she began to run, fast, tugging Serenity along. She then came to a halt. "We have to make sure Ironhides spark and body isn't damaged!" She exclaimed, looking over at the limp body of the weapons specialist. "Are there any cable boxes nearby?" She asked over the loud noise of battle. I looked around trying to find a cable box of some sort. "Look! It's right over there!" I said pointing towards the cable box on the left wall. "If we make it through this... I'm going to tell, Ironhide how I feel..." I thought.
"C'mon!" Naomi commanded, dragging Serenity with her to the cable box. "Water! I need water!" She yelped, looking around desperately. looked around then looked at Naomi. "How much water do you need?" She asked, trying not to freak out. "Not much. Just a little." She said, spotting a restroom. Silently, she ran into it and turned the sink on full-blast. With all of her strength, she rip the sink right off the wallm letting water splatter all over her. Once she was soaked, she ran back out. I watched as Naomi ran to the bathroom and looked at the fighting. "I hope Starscream leaves... Coward anyways..." I thought. I noticed Naomi come out of the bathroom and she was soaked. "Naomi?" I called out.
Naomi shook her head for concentration. She touched her soaking-wet hands to the cable box and shut her eyes. Electricity traced up her hands, arms, and over her body. Opening her eyes and backing away from the cable box, she motioned for Serenity to do the same. "Don't touch me, and get away from that thing." She ordered evenly. I nodded my head and backed away from the cable box. "A-Alright." I said. I noticed Optimus was aimming his cannon at Starscream and Ratchet hitting Starscream. "This day can not get anymore worse..." I thought.
Suddenly the cable box exploded like it did in the flashback, and Electricity pulsed wildly on the ground. Running towards the battling 'Bots and 'Con, Naomi directed the strong voltage at Starscream, sending a large amount of wattage through his body. She continued to conduct the energy into the 'Con until he proceeded to fall. Naomi herself fell to her hands and knees, coughing and sputtering, out of breath and fairly weak. "Naomi!" I said looking at her fall to her hands and knees, coughing and sputtering. I wanted to move towards Naomi but I knew if I did, I could end up hurt. "N-Naomi... Are you alright?" I asked.
"Y-yes..." She choked out, opening her eyes, and scrambling away from Starscream. She leaned against a wall and kept her eyes on the 'Con. "Optimus! He's paralyzed... But I don't know how long it will last." She said weakly. Optimus nodded his helm and looked at Ratchet. "Take Starscream and put him into a holding cell." He said. Ratchet nodded his helm at Optimus and picked up Starscream then took him away. I looked over at Naomi and frowned. "Y-Your weak now..." I whispered. "Only for the time being. I will be well within the hour, Serenity." With a small smile and a bit of effort, she stood. "The energy I did not use will recharge me." She reassured.
I nodded my head and smiled. "At least that's taken care of now... We won't have anyone bothering us." I said with a small laugh. "Okay... That was a very bad joke.". "It's fine." Naomi said calmly, with a small sigh. "But I'm afraid Ironhides revival will have a short postponement." She said with an apologetic frown. I smiled slightly as I looked at Naomi and shook my head. "It's fine... I know 'Hide can handle waiting for a little awhile longer." She said with a small giggle. Naomi nodded, a small giggle escaping her own lips. "I suppose I ought to clean that mess up." She said with a sigh, starting towards the bathroom. I couldn't help but smile a little more. "Optimus, we better go and see why exactly Starscream attacked the base." Ratchet said. Optimus looked over at Jazz. "Watch over the two femmes, Jazz." He said. Jazz nodded his helm as he looked over at me. "A'right Op. I'll watch 'em." He said. Optimus and Ratchet left to 'talk'to Starscream.
Naomi smiled up at Jazz then walked past the sparking cablebox and to the restroom, where a steady flow of water was gushing onto the floor from the gaping hole in the wall where a sink once was. "Did I make a mess or what?" She muttered.
I decided to follow after Naomi and noticed all the water then a gaping hole. "Geez... Remind me not to make you mad." I said with a small laugh. Naomi laughed. "I don'y=t have a temper, Serenity. I promise." She said calmly, and tried to think of ways to clean the water.
Meanawhile, Optimus stood infront of the holding cell and looked at Starscream. "Why exactly did you attack our base?" He asked. "Whats laughable," Starscream snickered "is that you think I will tell you requested information.". Optimus remained calm as he looked at Starscream and shook his helm slightly. "It's that or we will get it out of you somehow or someway." Ratchet said glaring at Starscream. Starscream snickered. "As if you are not capable of knowing what I desire.". "No? There are ways of finding out, Starscream... Or better yet... Tell us why you are hear and we might give whatever you want to you..." Optimus said.
"There are numerous things, Prime." The Seeker snickered. "The girls. I need them. And the Matrix. It is simple, really. Hand the objects over, and just maybe I won't call backup.". Optimus glared at Starscream and looked over at Ratchet. "We can't do that and you know that." He said.
Starscream snarled and sent out a beacon, pinning his location on the grids of all Decepticons. "Bad mistake, Prime."
"It might of been a bad mistake but at least the human femmes have a chance to surive." He said.
"Chance, that is narrow. VERY narrow." Starscream snickered as the sound of a few engines, belonging to both aircraft and vehicle, sounded.
Optimus activated his engeron sword and shook his helm. "You will pay." He said.
