Chapter 18: I'm Not Alright
Normal POV
Naomi shifted in her seat, then looked to Serenity. "I'll tell you when there aren't-" But she was cut off by the Saleen slamming on his breaks, then speeding around a corner. "giant Robots around us..." She said, her eyes drifting to Silver, who's metal saber-like fangs hung like daggers from her mouth, and her claws, which resembled those of a lions, could easily tear into the armor of any Bot or Con. Serenity nodded her head as she gently bit down on her lip. "Hey... Naomi... Is it possible there might be something wrong with my necklace?" She asked, whispering. Serenity watched as her necklace glowed on and off. "This doesn't seem right... I have a bad feeling about this..." She thought. Serenity watched as everything blurred right by.
Naomi raised an eyebrow, a bit confused at what was going on. "This...makes no since, Serenity. I have no clue." She said calmly, though there was a hint of fear in her voice.
Serenity thought about it for a few seconds and shifted slightly. "Ironhide... You sly glitch head... What exactly did you do to this necklace?" She mumbled softly to herself. Serenity blinked a few times as she looked over at Naomi. "I...I'm nervous to know where we're going..." She said. Naomi's eyes widened as she realized Serenity's necklace seemed to pulsate with a dull glow. "M-may I see your necklace?" She asked, a bit excitement in her icy eyes.
Serenity nodded her head and took off her necklace then gave it to Naomi. "Wh-What do you think is going on with it?" She asked. Naomi's eyes widened even more when the necklace touched the palm of her hand, and a smile crossed her lips and her face lit up. "I don't believe it! T-that's amazing!" She gasped, not relevant on exactly what she was talking about. Serenity blinked a few times as she was confused about what was going on. "W-What do you mean you can't believe it and that's amazing? Tell me, please Naomi!" She asked. Serenity was nervous about what exactly was going on with her necklace.
"I -If I'm not horribly mistaken- believe Ironhide stored a fragment of his spark in here... And if that's true, I might be able to revive him now..." She said, her eyes locked on the necklace. Serenity gasped softly as she smiled slightly. "You sneaky glitch... H-How exactly did Ironhide do this?" She asked. Serenity felt the tears begin to build as she heard Naomi say she might be able to revive him now. "You mean it?" She whispered. Serenity looked at the necklace again and couldn't believe that all this time, he knew that she would do anything to save him and she had the key the whole entire time.
"How he was able to do this, I am clueless, but I detect spark signals that don't belong to any other 'Bot or 'Con I have encountered, which is all of them." She smiled brightly at Serenity. "If I revive him now, I'm afraid this necklace may be destroyed. But yes, I can do it now.". "Well I bet he'll tell us if we asked." She said with a small laugh. Serenity gently touched the necklace and smiled as she nodded her head. "Alright... Do it now. Ironhide come back to us... We need you... I need you..." She said closing her eyes tightly and felt her tears finally fall down her face. Naomi was rather surprised Barricade nor Silver had heard their conversation... Then again... They HAD been REALLY quiet. Naomi quickly dug her nails into the side of Barricade's seat and suddenly, the necklace crackled with electricity. The life in the necklace left, and was now dormant. Fear spread over her body as Barricade let out a feral growl and Silver whirled around to face them. "Oh no..." Muttered Naomi.
Serenity looked at Naomi and felt the fear slowly creep into her body. "Naomi... What are we going to do?" She whispered. Serenity closed her eyes tightly for a moment and then opened them. "Please hurry up Ironhide... Save us." She thought. Serenity looked at Sliver for a moment. "What?" She asked looking at the femme. "Do NOT speak unless spoken to!" She hissed, bearing her metallic fangs. "Just...Sit still. Close your eyes and see if you can see anything."
Serenity whined slightly and nodded her head. She closed her eyes and cleared her mind. The first thing she saw was Ironhide trying to find her and then Sliver attacking someone.
Naomi kept her eyes locked on Serenity as Silver settled back in her seat, those her optics would still dart backward at them. Serenity opened her eyes and looked at Naomi, a grin appeared slightly. "He's coming for us..." She whispered to Naomi. Naomi smiled brightly and grasped Serenity's hand tightly. "I'm so happy for you. Now, we just need to stay silent until he can find us..." She said, her gaze locking on the femme Panther-Con in the front seat.
Serenity nodded her head as she gently squeezed Naomi's hand. "Right." She said. Serenity looked out the window for a few minutes to notice a Black GMC Topkick. She grinned as she began to pound on the window. "Ironhide!" She yelled. Before Serenity could even blink, Ironhide transformed. "You slaggin glitch! You think you can get away with taking her?" He said. Ironhide quickly aimed his cannons at Barricade. Serenity laughed slightly as she looked at Sliver. "Seems like you guys are in big trouble! You have him extremely pissed.." She said with a small smile on her face.
Naomi yelped as claws were pinned around her neck. "You did this! You little brat! I will kill you, and make sure it's painful!" She hissed, digging her claws into the humans shoulders making her cry out in pain. "And you're next!" She hissed at Serenity, but before she could do anything, her body seemed to jolt as she fell backward, sparking with electricity. "Don't touch me." Naomi simply said, a scowl on her face. Serenity gasped as she watched Sliver pinned Naomi then glared at Sliver after she said that she was next. Serenity watched as Sliver's body fall backwards. She looked out the window to see Ironhide then looked back at Naomi. "How are we gonna get out of here?" She asked.
Naomi, however, was busy hitting the Panther-Con with volts of electricity. "If this 'Con would stop clawing at me for a moment, I could shock Barricade!" She yelped out as Silvers dagger-like claws ripped into her hands. Serenity growled as she started to try and pull on Sliver. "Let her go! Come on! Are you scared? Huh!" She asked. Serenity looked over at Naomi. "Do it now!" She said.
Silver swiped deep trenches across Serenity's face while Noami violently shocked the mech into paralysis. Then, she kicked Silver where a panthers ribcage would be, and was rewarded by fangs sinking into her foot. "Ow! LET GO!" She hissed. Serenity whined in pain as she felt Sliver claw her face. She put her hand on her face for a moment then heard Naomi hiss at Sliver and told her let go of her foot. Serenity growled as she kicked at Sliver's head. "Let her go!" She growled. Silvers head slammed into a side of Barricade and was, in Cybertronian standards, unconscious. Finally, Naomi was able to pry the door open and scramble out with Serenity in tow, limping severely on her wounded foot.
Serenity looked over towards the area where Ironhide was standing. "Ironhide!" She called out. Serenity hissed in pain slightly as her face stung a bit when she talked. Ironhide quickly transformed back into his alt mode and drove towards Naomi and Serenity. He came to a screeching halt and opened his doors. "Come on, we don't have all day!" Ironhide said. Serenity quickly scrambled into the passenger seat and watched as Naomi got into the back. After Naomi was finally in Ironhide took off. "It took ya that long to figure out that I hid a piece of my spark in the necklace?" Ironhide asked activating his holoform. Serenity laughed slightly and raised an eyebrow when she looked at Ironhide. "At first we didn't know what was going on until Naomi figured it out." She said. Ironhide frowned as he looked at Serenity's face. "You better let Ratchet fix you up when we get back to base." He said.
"C'mon! No hugs? no kisses? No romance whatsoever? Have you NEVER seen a soup opera?" Naomi huffed with a playfulness in her eyes, and ignored the pain in her foot, which she was sure was broken. Serenity blushed deeply as she giggled softly as she gently touched Ironhide's face. "You idiot..." She said then gently kissed him. Ironhide smiled as he kissed Serenity back. "I did it for you ya'know..." He said looking at her. Serenity smiled as she looked at Ironhide. "I know and I'm grateful you did... I'm glad to have you back..." She said. "There you go!" Naomi cheered, her eyes now twinkling. "I'm so glad you guys are back together." She said, as her voice slowly returned to it's normal, calm self. Serenity laughed slightly as she shook her head at Naomi. "Ha Ha... Very funny, Naomi." She said. Ironhide chuckled softly as he looked at Serenity. "I'm glad as well... Being in the Matrix was interesting none the less." He said.
"I bet it was." Serenity said smiling slightly even though she was in pain. Ironhide frowned as he looked at Serenity. "You might have a few scars." He said. Serenity shrugged as she leaned back and closed her eyes. "I guess we will be matching then." She said with a small giggle. Ironhide shook his head as he put his hand to his face as Serenity looked confused for a moment. "Hey 'Hide… What does this make us… Girlfriend and Boyfriend or… Whatever the Cybertron equivalent is?" She asked. Ironhide almost went into the ditch near by as he straightened out. "Well… I don't think we are anything close to the Cybertron equivalent…. You would have to be a Cybertronian to do that." He said. Serenity frowned as she kinda wished she was a Cybertronian instead of a human. "Oh…" She said then looked out the window.
