Hey guys. I thought you deserved a filler chapter as I work on something else. Enjoy
A new base for a new peace
Sunshine flickered across the group of the four teenagers. The Sun's glare hitted off the hot sand of the Nevaden desert and into their eyes. Crystal lowered her sunglasses to block out the rays as Miko looked back behind them as the cons and bots walked. The group of neutrals walked in the middle talking and gestering to stuff with each other. The bots and cons looked at them in confusion at their strange friendships. In front of the strange group was the two fraction leaders. Optimus was conversing with Megatron about the new base that had been built a couple of days ago and was ready for them to view and pick out rooms. It had been agreed that they would share the same base due to their truce but each will have a secret one in case the treaty doesn't work.
"Are we there out?" Crystal moaned as her and the other three stopped for a second.
"Its just past this ridge," her father replied as he scooped her up with Miko grabbing her arm. "Honestly human."
"What?" Miko questioned. "The sand is burning my shoes."
Megatron growled before he turned away and placed them both on his shoulder. Optimus gave a smirk as he picked up the boys. Jack looked at the autobot leader for an explantion on why Megatron didn't drop Miko or given her to Optimus.
"Megatron is reminded by someone him and I once knew by how Miko acts," Optimus replied. "That is the only reason why he would allow her to sit on his shoulder."
"Or because Crystal would yell at me," Megatron pointed out. "Keep up you lot."
The teams rolled their optics before they were covered in the shadow of the yardang that towered over them. The size of the yardang was higher that normal and the base had a small trough that had filled up with vegatation and small signs of water. Crystal leaned forward on her father's shoulder as Miko did the same.
"So where's the base?" Miko questioned.
A light sparked into life and scanned the Asian making her amber eyes widen in shock as she stood still. A monotone voice called out "Identifaction: Miko Nakadi, charge to Autobot Wrecker Bulkhead and ally to the autobots course." Miko's eyes widned in suprise before she looked at the others.
"Now that is cool," she said smiling. "I want one."
"No Miko," Optimus said. "Only for special reasons do we have one."
Miko pouted as Crystal gave a smile before the Yardang split in two at the base, to revel a tunnel going underground. Megatron and Optimus moved forward, with their teams following. The deserts humid and dry air disappeared as cool and refreshing air went other the strange group. Lights flickered on by sensors as well as the sparks and hearts that were beating.
"Motion sensored," Ratchet said. "Comes in handy if unwanted visitors show up."
"I thought Mech went out of action after Silas died?" June questioned as she rested on Ratchet's shoulder.
"For precautions as well as any unknown enemies," Optimus replied to the human femme. "Main doors just ahead."
Panels of one sided glass reflected the groups amazement as they walked. The moving floor machine they were on made no sound and lead off into different directions until they stopped at different doors. Lights rested above their heads as small vents were seen in the celling which was letting in the cold air as well as removing any intoxiactions coming from the Cybertrions. The main door came into view. Two symbols of the fractions stood side by side and a fine tube of energone flow through them connecting them together. Hound moved forward and pressed in a code that would open the doors for the first time as he did he explained the use of the energon.
"The door seems to work fully with a 1mm of energon running across the surfac which isn't harmful to our humans as we have made sure that it knows their DNA cods," Hound said before the doors opened with a small audio hiss.
The smell of fresh paint and technology (AN does tech smell?) whafted out of the room before the lights flicked on to lumit the view of the main command centre. A huge projecter computer screen took up one side of the room with smaller screens placed around it and keyboards around them. In the far right corner was another door that lead to another room of the centre. There was small human chairs with a laptop set up for Raf to use. Soundwave moved forward and ejected his cassestes as Blaster did the same. Ravage, Runble, Frenzy, Laserbeck and Ratbat scatted around to look as Reject and Rewind went to the screens and typed in some codes. Steeljaw and Ramhorn followed the two cassettes of their team as the four human children were placed on the ground. Ravage leaned against Crystal as she rubbed his ears a bit, before a bing was heard and the two fraction symbols appeared again before maps across the globe were produced.
"I think we all know whose area this is," Hot Rod said as he looked at the group of cassettes. "As well as the young human helping."
Crystal rolled her eyes, as Ramhorn gave a grunt to the autobot.
"His name is Raf, Hot Rod," First Aid corrected. "And is more useful than you."
Hot Rod crossed his arms, as he watched the others. Optimus and Megatron watched as their chief communication officers typed in the codes that would activate the sercuity of the base, as well as closed off areas that still needed some developing after some unwanted explosions (Wheeljack).
"So what happens if this doesn't work?" Jack questioned as he looked away the command centre.
"We will return to our war for this planet's supply of energon and resources,"Megatron answered bluntly.
"Dad be nice," Crystal said as she placed in a code.
Megatron tilted his head a bit before the human liasion of the Autobots and now the Decepticons walk in. Special Agent Fowler looked at the assembled bots and cons that were passing glares at each other apart from the strange group before his eyes rested on the two fraction leaders.
"Prime, Megatron there seems to be some activity of MECH in the middle East," he annoced gaining their attention. "I guess even without their top man they are still working against the law and truce we have with you. The United Nations as well as the other countries would like you to look into the matter straight away while the unfinished areas are completed by some of the teams staying here to finish them."
"Special Agent Fowler are you positive that MECH is still opertional?" Optimus questioned as some of the bots and cons left with the children to look at the other parts of the base.
"If I wasn't Prime I wouldn't be here," he replied back. "Just get the job done before they discover the hideout here."
Crystal tugged on Miko's arm as they walked into an apartment. The living area was open spaced with a step leading down to a group of couches that were a biage colour. The plasma TV took up one side of the wall with surrond speakers at the sides. There was a stereo that had stacks of CDs in the wooden cupboard it was placed on top of with a couple of black statues around it. The windows showed any view the user wanted so it could match their favouite view. Around the TV was more couches and two red lazy boys with a coffee table and cabinets in the centre and arojnd by the walls.
The kitchen had no door as the island was set near the living room. The colours matched the living room with white, black and red. The cooker had the normal four stoves with a fifth to heat up energon for any of the bots or cons. There was a silver blender that was shiny and brand new. The two door fridge had different cultural food that was healthy and contained no pizzas, chips and anything else unhealthy showing that a certain CMO had ordered the food for the four humans. The counters had a kettle, a stand with six red and white patterned mugs resting on, a black microwave and a sink and taps in the centre as well as a spice rack and other kitchen items.
There was a twisty staircase leading to the upstairs areas of the apartment. The carpet was a rich ruby red colour that covered the stairs as well as the living area before turning into laminate black tiles with small white squares. The upstairs hallway had four different bedrooms and two bathroom doors. Crystal opened the first white door as Buzz's hologram appeared next to her. Miko opened the one opposite Crystal's which was a red and black patterned door as Bulkhead appeared as well as Bumblebee and Arcee. Raf picked the door that was down from Crystal's which was red while Jack picked the black.
"Let's look at our choosen bedrooms than," Crystal said before her and Buzz entered the room.
There was two doors leading to the bathroom suite as well as the walk-in-closet that were open. In the centre was a double white frame bed stand with a flower patterned metal head board. The black quilt had a purple blacket folded at the bottom crossing the bed verticle that contained silver stitching of the Decepticon logo. There was two matching bed side tables with a silver lamp on both. In one corner was a corner desk that took up half of the one wall; there was pens, papers and a keyboard that was wireless connected the computer screen screwed into the wall. There was a purple post it not in Soundwave's writing saying her password was the usuall one that she used.
"That mech is amazing," Buzz said as he investigated some of her photos scattered across the room. "Hey I remember this one."
Crystal walked over to her boyfriend and looked at the silver wire photo frame he was holding up; it was one of her favouites. It consited of her family altogether, with her mom in the middle holding a small bundle and with her father having an protective stance with his hands on both sides of her waist. Crystal touched the picture before tears brimmed at her eye lids before she turned away and walked into the bathroom suite. Buzz gave a sigh as he followed her and leaned against the bathroom door to watched her. Neither of them spoke for a couple of minutes before Crystal gave a small hisper.
"It hurts," Crystal whispered. "Buzz it hurts not knowing why she left and where she is. What did I do to deserve this?"
"By being a strong, caring and big hearted but no nonsense individuall," he replied. "That is some of quailities your mother had."
As they had been talking, Buzz had wrapped his arms around Crystal and had pulled her to his chest. She sighed and prodded at the white polo he was wearing. Buzz gave a sigh as he placed a kiss on her hair line.
"I hate this feeling," she stated. "Hey do we have a hot tub?"
"Not by my knowledge," Buzz replied in confusion. "Why you ask?"
"Wanted somewhere warm with you in a bikini," she replied. "Besides does the base have a pool?"
"Yes it does," he replied. "I'm guessing that it will be a pool party. I'll tell the others."
"Yeah, love ya," Crystal sing sanged as she skipped away to get a bikini and shout down the hall to the other three to wear swimwear.
Done. Where has my muse gone? Anyway please review.
