Doctor Keys was a well known bio-engineer. He had managed to take any disabled limb and make a new functional one. He was a genius and even better then that he knew just how to use his genius. He was a university graduate with a PHD at 23, he had blazed through high school, college, and university. In his last year he had found out about Doctor Arkeville's illegal experiments on students. And thanks to him another countless students were saved from Arkeville. According to what the data said. Taiya looked through more of the files while she, Blackout, and Megatron overlooked the doctor's work. Keys for saving not only student lives and the university he was given a meeting with President Clinton. Clinton in some of the classified files said that Keys had gained access to Sector 7. He according to the files was inspired by Megatron to develop cyber components to help disabled people and not only that but to help humans become better and more logical human beings. The idea sparked the best in artificial limb replacement. Not even Doctor Jarvik the maker of the artificial heart could come up with designs as perfect as his. Doctor Jarvik was influenced to help in the organ system, Doctor Keys the external systems and internal functions they play together, where as Doctor Arkeville's aspirations were more military in nature. He wanted to make humans into cyborgs, the perfect soldiers. He then wanted to sell the idea to General McAlister. But he was thwarted by Doctor Keys. The FBI said that the list of casualties from the experiment may have been as high as 98 people at Stanford alone. Arkeville knowing McAlister was just disbarred and given a mediocre job as an anatomy teacher at Colorado State U. It was even speculated that doctor Jarvik was also inspired by Megatron to make the artificial heart. The fuel delivery system in transformers was widely similar to that of the plastic heart.
Blackout – "By the looks of it, you human doctors are all connected to one another."
Arkeville – "Yes that is a correct assumption, people of science are like relatives, each trying to either help or outmatch the other."
Taiya – 'You still make me wanna hurl."
Arkeville – "Don't like doctors very much do you Taiya?"
Taiya – "Actually no, I don't just dislike you, I loathe doctors of all sorts. All you guys ever want is blood work."
Arkeville – {Shrugged and turned away and went back to work}"Trypanophobiac."
Taiya – "HEY I GO TO COLLEGE, I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!"
Blackout – "What's wrong Taiya? All he said is that you have a medical procedural fear."
Megatron – "You cannot tell me that a needle is possibly more frightening then I?"
Taiya – 'Its not the needle that scares me, it's the feeling of being restrained."
Megatron – "Once you have been restrained with ice for about 4 thousand years then you can tell me about being held down. But for the act of a blood draw, a mere minute, Don't Make Me Laugh!"
Taiya – "you have a good point but I still detest needles."
Arkeville – "EUREKA! Megatron! I should have this done ahead of schedule. ALL I NEED IS 2 MORE DAYS TO LET THE CHEMICALS DISSTIL AND REACT!"
Megatron – "THAT'S THE MENTALITY I NEED AROUND HERE! Not bad human, you promised 7 days and gave me 5."
Taiya – {sickened by Arkeville's constant sucking up turned back to the computer}
Blackout – "Megatron have you possibly reconsidered using anesthesia?"
Megatron – "No blackout, we will go as planned."
Taiya – "Blackout its okay, just Megatron promise me this. You will try and get the surgery over as fast as possible."
Megatron – "I can guarantee that your doctors and there primitive machines are eons slower then what Shockwave has in plan."
Taiya – "Oh great…" {Good lord am I screwed} "
Blackout – "Megatron, as far as Doctor Arkeville goes, what happens if he fails?"
Megatron – "Then you Blackout get to exterminate him by any means you see fit."
Blackout – {looked over to Arkeville and gave a sinister smile} "Yes sir."
Taiya – "NO WAY!"
Blackout – "You mean you don't wish for me to kill him?"
Taiya – "No, no not that. Megatron you have been quite a muse to all science here. It says here that Albert Einstein, Alexander Bell, Niles Bohr, and even Marie Curie have been inspired to do wonderful work based just off of seeing you! I wish my body inspired people to do great things.'
Blackout – {getting coy} "Well.."
Taiya – "don't start."
Megatron – "What the sparkless is wrong with you people? I DO NOT INSPIRE PEOPLE TO DO WONDERFUL THINGS! I INSPIRE FEAR AND PESTULANCE TO ALL!" {getting innerved at how many humans have made him like an Autobot. and that it seemed that he was good]
B & T – "Well trust us, you do.'
Arkeville – {trying to get on Megatron's good side} "I CANNOT AGREE WITH THEM MORE, YOU DO STRIKE MORE FEAR AND TERROR WITH EVERY LOOK!"
Megatron – "DON'T YOU HAVE SOME WORK TO DO!'
Arkeville – "YESSIR, RIGHT AWAY SIR!"
Arkeville continued to work nonstop those next few days. And with every day Taiya began to get sick to her stomach over the entire thing. She just hoped that in the end they wouldn't let her die and that the procedure will go fast like Megatron had said. In her mind it was soo overpowering and intimidating. But she knew that she could not leave no matter how hard she wanted to. She had to remember that her family was counting on her to go through with it, for their protection, and little peter, he barely had been in pre-school the year before. A few hours of pain, she had to tolerate it and she could always just try and force herself to pass out. Blackout was also sick, not just in nervousness but rage. Shockwave had really done it, because of him Taiya would feel unimaginable pain, probably the most pain she had ever felt before. And all of this was his fault. But was it just him, or was it himself? He had made the remark of making human Transformers back on the Nemesis to Starscream, and star had told Megatron that and in turn thought to try it out on Taiya. However he could not tell her, what if she did find out this way his idea? He knew what she would do, she would leave, and no matter how cold you get as a Decepticon you still have fears, and his was being alone. That is why he had always had a partner, they may not know of his fear because he tried so hard to cover it. He decided that he would step in if the procedure went too far no matter Megatron's orders. And one thing kept his mind attuned to it all, the prospect of how he can make the doctor pay. For the doctor could have said something about how a human can die without the anesthesia.
Things were pretty quite around the Nemesis during the days, the other Decepticons went out in search of PET's of their own. Only a few remained because either they did not want a PET or they did not know if they wanted one yet. Bonecrusher loathed the idea of having a PET, according to him they would be too much work and he hates work and he hates humans so why put two hates together? Soundwave, Frenzy, Rumble, Hook, Scavenger, and the secondary seekers stayed behind. Taiya the PET was starting to get to know each one of them and it made her happy to know that she had so many people around her. but the PET title would be gone by the end of the week and a new dream would start, Taiya the Decepticon. And as for a particular Decepticon revenge was the primary reason why he had mentioned no anesthesia. Shockwave was never more happy to cause Blackout misery, and if a human could cause him pain, he would bring it, and he would bring it with a-vengeance. All he had to do was break her, or as this world calls it Murder. He already had an alibi in order in his perverse mind, he would put the blame on human weakness. And with that, he could take a few more humans back to Cybertron to test on. He just needed a few dozen. But authorization had to be made.
Halfway across the world the Autobots back at the Ark pondering the location of the missing Cube. Their leader Optimus Prime was confused and that was a feeling he didn't like. He had to get the Cube and destroy it before the Decepticons could get their hands on it. Where was the mystery person that took it that day. To OP too many humans lost their lives because of his decision to launch the Cube into space. He felt personal responsibility for its disappearance. But one nice part of earth was the people. He loved how things were relatively peaceful and there were so many wonderful treasures on it. The Ark was such a lively place now, so many humans were now part of the Autobot inner circle. Sam Witwicky, Mikaela Banes, a boy that just calls himself Spike, Carly Patterson, and a few new comers such as a young but bright boy, Melvin McAlister. (The general's son). Melvin was particularly useful in human relations. He was in charge as a messenger to his father and to other high members of DoD. They always had fun coming up with new search plans. Sam felt sorry for loosing the cube, how did he pass out? And just who took the thing? Little did Sam know but Mikaela was thinking the same thing. Jazz was so happy that he got to stay on Earth, he loved the culture, and the people. Everything about it made him happy, especially the emphasis on "cool". As for Ratchet he was tired of the media calling him "Miraclebot" or their new name for him "RedCrossTron". But he did like how neat and organized the medical system was. He was doing research on doctors and seeing if he could aid them. Ironhide enjoyed making fun of human weaponry and worked with the ARMY in developing non-lethal weapons for the Iraqi war. He too had a new side mission, he wanted to aid the US in ending the war. His favorite human was Captain Lennox. In his eyes Lennox was a fine soldier, he just wished he was an Autobot. Lennox would have made a wonderful soldier in the Great War. Some of the other Autobots dedicated their time and effort to helping the humans.
Cosmos was helping Doctor Neil Tyson in his astronomy
Prowl and Mirage was teaching police officers Autobot ways of dealing with criminals to the dismay of Captain Fanzone who hated technology.
Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, and Blurr were just having fun racing policemen and their radar
Preceptor and Wheeljack just loved outdoing each other in front of earth scientists
The others helped in various ways, such as, Decepticon Patrol, crime fighters, and just trying to be useful until they could return to Cybertron
- Dawn -[part two}
The day of the surgery finally approached. Taiya put on a gown not to much unlike the ones she had to wear at the hospital and took a huge sigh in front of the mirror. She had barely slept that night and it showed in her eyes. She would have given almost anything to get out of what she had to do now. With every breath there was heaviness in it. Her chip to bear was almost unbearable. She only had one hope, and that was that her captors would show her mercy if it was too much. The nock on the door was her queue to go and with weakness in her knees left her small room. Blackout carried her the entire way to the surgery bay, a bay that was designed to handle Transformers not humans. Only a few cons wanted to watch the operation, among them was Soundwave, Frenzy, Rumble, and Megatron to oversee the process. Blackout was apprehensive to let Taiya go, but knowing he had no choice lowered Taiya down. Taiya was greeted by Frenzy and Rumble.
Frenzy – "I guess we will be seeing you on the other side huh?" {Trying to be upbeat}
Rumble – {patted Taiya on the cheek} "I know it's scary but if it gets too bad, you can bet me and Frenzy will steep in."
Taiya – {Hugged both of them around the neck} "Thanks guys." {With that she left}
Blackout – "Megatron I implore you please reconsider." {Blackout pleaded}
Megatron – "No Blackout, this is not just a test on the girl but on you as well."
Blackout – "How is this a test for me?"
Megatron – "Time to test your loyalty and your restraint. You will not move unless I say so." {Megatron bent down to talk to F & R} "Nether will you two, I know what you are thinking."
Frenzy and Rumble both looked away and Taiya walked into the opposite room and you could hear Frenzy yell "SEE LATER, SOON TO BE SISCON.". The room was only walled in on three sides and the wall the others were opposite of was a wall of glass. They could see the entire thing happening. Taiya took a set in the chair designed to aid Shockwave in the procedure. Doctor Arkeville was in another corner sitting with arms crossed and a maniacal look on his face. Shockwave was wearing what looked like a giant surgeon's apron and with his one hand gloved. Shockwave held up what looked like a remote and pressed a button and restraints wrapped around Taiya by the middle, arms, legs, and head. Taiya could not move an iota. The chair moved back to let her lay flat. Sweat started to bead on her forehead and her breathing became rapid. She started to feel dizzy but tried her best to think about things that brought her joy.
Shockwave – Proceed Megatron?"
Megatron – {nodded}
Shockwave – "I hope you are taking notes Doctor Arkeville, this is going to be a good show."
Megatron – "YOU ARE NOT HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOURSELF SHOCKWAVE! ANOTHER SLIP LIKE THAT AND I AM CANCELLING THIS!"
Shockwave – "Yes Megatron, right way Megatron." {He pressed another button and long hypodermic needles sprung forth} "This may hurt, however I wouldn't know, I am not human."
Taiya took a big gulp and her palms were extended when the needles penetrated her from the bottom part of her palms. The pain was searing and it caused Taiya to yelp and moan a bit. The needles also penetrated her heels and the needles seemed to go as far as her shoulder. Taiya could feel the needles in her and pressing against her muscles and nerves, this triggered pain. She even felt the needles in he legs hit her pelvic bone. Next some hook like machines fished out wires that were at the end of each needle. Two hooks fished wires out of her hip bone region and the other fished lines from her arms out of the back right side of her neck. Taiya tried to remain calm and strong but she could not keep her self from crying out in pain. She tried to budge but the restraints kept her in place. No matter how hard she moved the restraints just cut further into her holding her ever more tightly. Two more hooks fished lines out of the end of her deltoids and tops of her wrists that not only burned but stung.
Taiya – 'AHHHHHHHHGGGHH!" {She continued to fidget}
Shockwave – "The more you move the worse it is going to be." {Shockwave saying somewhat happily as he could see Blackout starting to lose it}
Arkeville – {saying silently and blinking rapidly} "Fascinating… Wonderfully fascinating."
Taiya could do little but to cry and take the pain. The hooks that fished the lines started to rotate with small claw like machines that started to make data connection port connections. They made the connections to the small hubs and held in place as Shockwave moved to the lower part of her. The claws started to fashion ports at her hip bones and at the ankle and outside calf area near the knee. Taiya started to clench her hands so tight that her nails cut into her palms. Beads upon beads of sweat now started to drip off of her. Some hit the ground with a small ping. Taiya started to shake and just wanted to get up and run for the door. Her heart raced more and more as the minutes ticked by. The ten hubs were done being connected to her now internal wires and lingered still outside of her body. With one more click of the remote the claws thrust the small hubs into place simultaneously with the scalpel bots making cross shaped cuts into the areas for the hubs to slide in. Taiya thought she could not handle any more after that. Every move these small bots made hurt worse then any pain she imagined. She thought of the times she complained about menstrual pain and now begging that it was here instead of the pain Shockwave was inflicting. A small blood splattered onto Shockwave's apron while similar amounts of tears fell down Taiya's face. She started to cry out horrendously.
Shockwave – {Said sarcastically} 'Energon spill"
Taiya – {desperate to make the pain go away pleaded with Megatron} "MEGATRON PLLLEAAASSEE! I BEG YOU MAKE IT STOP! AAAAAAARRRRGGHHHH!" {Some of the cuts were now staring to be burned shut to avoid hemorrhaging}
Megatron – 'Taiya I can't do that. A deal is a deal."
Taiya – "MEGATRON PLEASE! PLEASE!"
Taiya's head was spinning faster and faster with every move of Shockwaves machine. The clock said it was 1 hour into the surgery and to Taiya it felt like hours. And a rather childish thought seemed to scream in her head "I want my mommy!". The data ports were in and the wires left over were removed leaving only metal and burn wound sites. Each burn stung. It felt like her flesh was on fire. Blackout was so close to the glass that he could have broken it if he went another centimeter. He hated this more then he hated Shockwave, Blackout being a Decepticon never knew that he could feel sympathy for a human but he would take on a thousand Autobots just to alleviate some of the pain. Hearing Taiya's constant screams were getting louder and louder was maddening. Taiya's palm right palm was flipped over and the scalpel bots started to make incisions for sensors and circuits that could access the doors in the nemesis without the key. Shockwave hit a problem with that because Taiya kept balling her hand into a fist.
Shockwave – "ARKEVILLE! GET OVER HERE NOW!"
Arkeville – {Happy to be included rushed to Shockwaves aid} "YES SHOCKWAVE SIR!"
Shockwave – {glaring down into Taiya's eyes} "She is being uncooperative, hold her hand down for me I am afraid my machines may harm her." {obviously lying}
Arkeville – "Yes Shockwave sir."
Arkeville grabbed Taiya's hand and pried it open and held it down flat as hard as he could. Taiya with little strength could not wiggle out of his hold. Shockwave took over for the machines and took out small, extremely thin data chips and retracting his hand and in its place was what looked like a Swiss army knife continued the operation. He pulled out some of Taiya's small muscles that control her hand and the left over wire in her right arm and started to make connections. To everyone's surprise the muscle bonded to the organic data chip. Taiya's nerves started to misfire sending bone crushing pain up and down her arm. Feeling like a puppet Shockwave tested which muscle controlled what part of her hand. Taiya hyperventilating, sweating, and crying felt like she was loosing consciousness. Her hand fell limp from exhaustion giving up control to Shockwave. Shockwave went in close so that no one could hear him.
Shockwave – "Don't pass out just yet, the fun has just begun. When I am through with you, you will be screaming my name to make it end. Arkeville get the oxygen mask, Taiya isn't getting enough air."
Arkeville – {grabbed the mask and put it on her} "Thank you Shockwave, I was afraid you would leave me out.'
Shockwave – "And let you miss out on your greatest opportunity to observe an experiment like this, I wouldn't dream of it." {shockwave said sounding more and more sinister with every scream Taiya let slip her lips}
Taiya – {muffled slightly by the mask} "I CANT TAKE ANYMORE! MEGATRON PLEASE! SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP! ANYTHING BUT THIS I BEG YOU!"
Blackout – "HANG ON TAIYA, JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE." {wanting ever more then to rip Shockwaves head off tried to go to the entry to the surgery room but being stopped by Megatron}
Megatron – "And just where do you think you are going?"
Blackout – "TO GO HELP TAIYA!"
Megatron – "No you're not, you are going to go back and fallow my orders like a good soldier. Do I make my self clear?"
Blackout – "Sometimes I wish I could…{Blackout was halted by an alarm}
Arkeville – {spoke up} 'Her fluid levels are low, should I start an IV?"
Shockwave – {complying with Megatron's pervious orders} 'Yes you dumb witted fleshling.'
Taiya – "AHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRR!"
Arkeville grabbing the IV set from the side table went to Tayca's left and started the IV. He had trouble seeing her veins and arteries because of the fluid loss. He got the IV in after a few tries and the alarm stopped after the levels sustained normalcy. Arkeville felt powerful to be doing this and in his mind couldn't wait to get more subjects. He thought if he could kill 378 people he could do more damage when he got back to Colorado. Taiya's voice was getting harsh from all of the screaming but shockwave was not pleased. He wanted the girl to beg for his mercy and in turn gaining another blow to Blackout. He wanted that to crush his spark. Taiya slipped out of conscious momentarily and saw her mom right beside her holding her now burnt hand speaking softly.
Mother – "Sweetie its okay, I am here. Its okay darling, its almost over." {she said kissing Taiya's hand}
Taiya – "mom?"
Mother – {moved to Taiya's head and brushed back her hair kissing her forehead} "I am so proud of you. Don't give up. Stephens counting on you."
Taiya was woken up by the sound of a machine she could not identify, and she was on her side and she could see a tattoo on her arm. Everything hurt, every muscle and bone begged for relief. Taiya looked up to see Shockwave carefully tying some more chips to the muscles in her back. The feeling was as if her flesh was being stretched like a rubber band. He was focused on his task as if his life relied on it. Taiya knew she missed something while she was KO-ed. She looked to the clock and saw that the surgery was 4 hours in. she only lasted 2 ½ hours in. Her body was starting to come back to and she started to cry again.
Shockwave – "You're awake, I thought you would miss the last portion of the operation.'
Taiya – {drenched in sweat, blood, and tears was at her shatter point started to plea} Please sho..ck" {No she thought she cant let him win and with that she shut her mouth fast}
Shockwave – "What was that? I didn't hear you."
Taiya – "Nev..er you son..of..a..slagger."
Shockwave – {pissed at that worked harder to cause the most pain he could} "Oh you are going to wish you hadn't said that."
He continued to work and purposely made each move to inflict the most damage. Taiya endured through the circuit connections but this was different. The surgery was so close to her central nervous system that she would have felt the slightest move. Her muscles throbbing started to quaver. Taiya only started to realize her left ear was dripping blood along with the other open sores and wounds. The clock ticked away and still Taiya cried out in misery. the last thing Taiya remembered before she passed out for the last time was a laser machine etching something onto her foot and lower back.
- Stasis Break -{part Three}
Taiya was done and in need of some healing. Shockwave was never more aggravated, he had planned on killing the girl but somehow she lived. Had he miss-underestimated the girl's tolerance? Blackout was the first in the room, shoving Arkeville out of the way picked up Taiya and held her close rubbing his head against hers. Her skin was dark by the burns and she was paler then the sands of the moon. He carried her to the regeneration pods and placed her in the saline water based liquid. He was helped by Frenzy in getting her water tight air mask on. Arkeville looked at his blood soaked hands alone in the surgery bay and could only let out a disturbing laugh. He loved bloodshed the more the better was his motto. He was commended by Megatron for a successful operation and was told that he had to stay around just in case for the next couple of days to which he was more then happy to do. Blackout barely left the Regeneration room during the next week, he kept falling into stasis and nodding off. Blackout wanted to be there just in case, he didn't know if the doctor or Shockwave might do something while he was away. Brawl brought him energon and kept trying to make him feel better.
Brawl – "Come on buddy, she is a tough girl. She'll be fine. You haven't been attached to your stasis modulator in 6 days. If you don't keep up your routine you can start to get fraggeed. Pretty soon you'll start to act like Bonecrusher."
Blackout – Perhaps you are right Brawl. And primus forbid if I ever turn out like him."
Brawl – "If you want, why don't you just let Scorponok watch over her. then he can stasis download while you are up? Anyways he seems to like her." {brawl said with a smile]
Blackout sighed and deployed Scorponok and gave him his orders and Scorponok fallowed them to the letter. He curled up beside the modified pod and stood guard. Blackout and Brawl left for the night and shut the lights off. Little did they know four red small optics glared in the darkness through the ventilation shaft. The monstrosity Drone waited till Scorponok was asleep and called his leader.
Drone – "The girl is alone I think, shall I strike my lady?"
Dreadcycle – "Are you sure?" {she said in a shrill like voice}
Drone – "Yes."
Dreadcycle – "Aim for her heart, to take back what she stole from me."
Drone – 'Yes Lady Dreadcycle."
Drone carefully removed the screws from the shaft and slid out. He had covered his feet in rubber to remove his clattering and snuck up on the pod where the girl lay. He looked at her and too thought she was uglier then his beloved Dreadcycle. He wished he was taller then maybe Dc would give him the time of day. Oh well this may be enough he thought. He took a sharp piece of metal and rose it high in the air and thrust it down when "SLAM!" Scorponok's tail slammed right into him knocking him across the room. He squeaked out a few "ouches". Scorponok moved the front of the pod and deployed his tail spikes and poised ready to strike. Drone was scared sparkless he thought the beast was asleep? Scorponok let out a small humming sound and it sounded an alarm. Every time Drone tried to leave the scorpion wouldn't let him leave. Megatron, Blackout, and Starscream were the first to get to the room.
Blackout – "SCORPONOK WHAT IS It?...DRONE!" {Blackout didn't need an explanation, he knew what was going on}
Megatron – "You mean Dreadcycle's partner?"
Starscream – {picking him up by the leg holding him upside down} "What is he doing here?"
Blackout – "On Dreadcycle's orders no doubt."
Starscream – {started to shake the small Decepticon and the small metal make shift knife fell} "OOO What do we have here?"
Blackout – {Grabbed Drone and began to crush him} "WHAT DID DREADCYCLE ORDER YOU TO DO?"
Drone – {couldn't speak because of the crushing}
Blackout – "TALK YOU SLAGGIN SON OF A GLITCH! TALK NOW OR ELSE!"
Megatron – "Settle your coolant Blackout. I can take care of this! Starscream get Dreadcycle on the videophone and call Shockwave down here IMMEDIATELY!"
Megatron – {waited for the call to go through and the four stood around the monitor} "Dreadcycle!"
Dc – "Yes Lord Megatron, how is it I have been blessed with your attention this evening?'
Megatron – 'Drop that loyalty routine I KNOWYOU ARE LYING!"
Dc – "I don't know what you are talking about sir."
Megatron – {held up Drone} "Explain."
Dc – {angry that Drone was caught bust out} "YOU STUPID CRONY, ALL YOU HAD TO DO IS KI….?"
Megatron – "DREADCYCLE!"
Dc – {Trying to cover her tracks} "WHAT I MEAN IS, WHAT I MEANT WAS…"
Megatron – 'Uh hum. That's what I thought. Dreadcycle You were told to stay away from the Nemesis until you have earned your right to be here. And how is this forgiveness repaid? YOU DISSOBEYED MY ORDERS! YOU WENT BEHIND MY BACK AND WENT AGAINST MY WISHES!"
Dc – "Its just a dumb human MEGATRON COME TO YOUR SENSES!"
Megatron – "Human no, Cyborg Yes. Question my methods again, and may primus spare you, for the time you slip up again, it will be your last."
Dc – "Sir. I..I…"
Megatron – "As for Drone, He will live out the remainder of his life cycle on the deserted Junk Planet. Maybe we will get him back but for now that should do."
Drone – {speaking up} "DREADCYCLE DON'T LET THEM DO IT!"
Dc – {turned away breaking Drones spark} "Fine by me."
Drone – {was carried off by Starscream to the space bridge} "DREADCYCLE!"
Starscream – "QUIET YOU TINY-CYBER, YOU ARE GIVING ME A MALFUNCTION." {Starscream slammed his hand hard on to him putting him into stasis}
Blackout – {sickened by Dc went off to stand in the opposite corner}
Megatron – "Shockwave Drone must have stowed away on your ship, next time scan your ship for any enemies before flight. We cant afford to have enemies aboard our flag ship."
Shockwave – "Yessr." {sad that Drone was unsuccessful}
By this time some of the others came down to see what was going on. A small little muffled voice echoed in the now quiet room.
Taiya – "Uh guys…What's all the racket about.."
Blackout – {ran to her side} 'Taiya your awake!"
Rumble – {came up behind Blackout} "Say it Blackout, GO on we had a deal.'
Blackout – "Taiya?"
Taiya – "Yeah..My head hurts"
Blackout – "&^%$ # &**(( %%$$#$" {Cybertronian}
Taiya – "Blackout for thousandth time, I AM ALLERGIC TO TUNA! AND I DON'T LIKE PEANUT BUTTER AND COFFEE FLAVORED BREAD! Wait …what did you just say?"
Blackout - "&^%$ # &**(( %%$$#$" {Cybertronian}
Taiya – {now fully awake} "What on earth, YOU SPOKE CYBERTRONIAN AND I UNDERSTOOD!'
Megatron – "Nice isn't it? Now you can understand us. You cant speak or write it yet but, we gave you a small implant in your left ear. Now you understand every language including others you have never heard of before."
Taiya – {dumbfounded could just stare around, blackout was all smiles, and the twins were just laughing.}
Shockwave – "Well my work here is completed. I shall take my leave."
Megatron – 'Shockwave stay right here!"
Taiya – "Can I get out of this thing?"
Megatron – {nodded}
Blackout – "Here let me help you up." {Blackout extended his hand only to have Megatron grab it}
Megatron – "Blackout, you know she had to get up on her own cyber stings."
Blackout – "But…?"
Megatron – "This is the last thing for a while, okay?" {Megatron lead the others to the exit} "GET UP TAIYA!"
Taiya – "I can barely move"
Megatron – "GET YOUR SORRY AFT UP OUT OF THAT POD NOW!"
Taiya – {Taiya tried but fell back into the water}
Megatron – "A DECEPTICON IS STRONG ENOUGH TO GET UP WHEN KNOCKED DOWN!"
Taiya – "STOP YELLING AT ME! ITS MAKING MY HEADACHE WORSE."
Megatron – "I BET YOU WANT TO GIVE ME A HEADACHE!" {taunting her}
Taiya – {slightly delusional} "Oh there are a thousand and one ways I WISH I COULD.."
Megatron – "Then SHOW ME! YOU GET OVER HERE AND YOU CAN, I wont move, I will take what ever you can do."
Taiya – {tired and mad managed to get out of the water and onto her feet which hurt from the implants}
Megatron – "Good, NOW WHAT ABOUT SHOCKWAVE! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO TO HIM?"
Taiya – {looked over at the now awake Arkeville} "Well for starters, I want to take him {points to Arkeville} and shove him up SHOCKWAVES EXHAUST, THEN I WANT TO SHOOT HIS HEAD OFF!'
Megatron – "Tell you what, seeing as I am being so generous, you get over here in the next few breems and I will personally let you shot HIM WITH ME!"
Taiya – "You would?"
Megatron – "YES NOW GET MOVING"
Taiya – {moving as fast as her exhausted body would go reached the feet of Megatron and fell down to her knees} "okay I am too tired to shoot or fight."
Megatron – "That's better. Taiya welcome to the Decepticons. Blackout you have the final part in this."
Blackout – {Bent down and tilted Taiya's head up, and using a small machine lasered in the numbers 4500X on to Taiya's right cheek. He did it so fast Taiya felt only air}
Taiya – {Felt the area and there was no blood, no pain, nothing there until she saw her refection in the optics of Blackout} "4500X"
Blackout – "Its just a security measure. To make sure people know that you are with me."
Taiya – "Can I go back to my bed now? Please sir?"
Megatron – {nodded} "Yes you may. Frenzy, Rumble you can help her now."
Frenzy and rumble helped get Taiya back to her room and Blackout was trailing a head. Shockwave planned to leave the next day, hopefully in the morning. And the night just fell into translucent dreams. And by dawn her training will start. But maybe a few days were needed to get the girl used to her new abilities.
