chapter 10 Dreams
"Talking"
'Thinking'
disclaimer: don't own except Andim and Reika, NOW READ BEFORE I RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!!
"Coby!? What the hell are you doing on Velocitron!?", Andim exclaimed when she discovered her cousin was also on the Speed Planet. Coby had convinced Jolt to take him to Velocitron to cheer Hot Shot on, of course, the only ones who knew about this was himself and the minicons.
"What am I doing here? I should be asking you the same thing! I had to ask Jolt to sneak me onto the Speed Planet, who did you have to convince to get here?", Coby retorted."News flash cousin, I didn't ask anyone to bring me here, a couple of freaky-ass monster things ABDUCTED me & brought me here for whatever Goddamn reason!", Andim said, a little bit annoyed.
"WHAT!? What happened, what did they look like!?", Coby asked, angered because someone would try to harm his family like that."Hell if I know, those things drugged me before I could get a good look at them. And as far as I know, I was unconscious for almost an entire day!", she explained.
Suddenly, Hot Shot and Red Alert could be heard arguing from Breakdown's workshop. Andim released an annoyed sigh,"What the hell are those two fighting about now?", she asked herself before walking into Breakdown's home. Coby turned around and began to pick up some of his tools, that is, until he was knocked over.
The teen cried out as the wrench he was holding hit his knee, Ransack and Crumplezone towering over him."Well, well, if it isn't the autobots's fleshie!", Ransack began as he roughly grabbed Coby."Hey CZ, what do ya get when a fleshie crosses paths with the two biggest bad boys on Velocitron?", the motorcycle asked."I don't know", Crumplezone said as Coby attempted to squirm out of Ransack's grip.
"Ya get one dead fleshie!", the shorter mech answered before they both laughed. Before Coby could call for help, the two thugs transformed and drove off with the human in tow. As they sped away, they failed to notice a pair of red and orange eyes following them.
(Rocky Canyon, 4 miles from Breakdown's home)
Coby cried out as a sharp rock grazed against his arm."Get used to it squishy, there's more where that came from", Ransack said tauntingly."We're gonna show ya what happens when ya interfere with decepticon matters", Crumplezone threatened(1). Coby tried to get away, but it was hopeless. The dune buggy(A/N: okay, seriously, WTF is Crumplezone?) grabbed the human,"I wonder what'll happen if I do this", he said before he twisted Coby's arm.
The teen cried in pure agony as he felt the bone slowly begn to break."LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!", a voice suddenly shouted. The voice was high and sounded feminine, it seemed to have an echo of sorts, and was full of rage."And who's gonna make us?", Ransack said smugly."I am!", the voice answered before a strange creature appeared from the shadows. It was the imp again(2).
It's single, visible eye radiated pure hatred as it glared intensely at the two thugs. Crumplezone threw Coby aside,"You gotta be kidding me, you actually think you can take us!?", Ransack laughed. The imp moved in front of Coby, who was barely conscious, in a protective manor. Suddenly, three stone, artifact-like objects appeared around the imp(3).
These ancient-looking artifacts looked very much like some unusual type of armor."You two are going to pay for what you have done", it spoke in a dangerously low voice. the last thing Coby heard was a deep roar and Ransack & Crumplezone's screams of terror.
He wasn't sure how long he had been out, but at some point, Coby felt a warm sensation envelope his arm. He willed himself to open his eyes. Coby saw that he was still in the canyon, but the two thugs were gone, and the imp had placed its hands on his arm, the one Crumplezone had fractured. His arm was glowing a light blue color under the imp's touch, it was healing him.
The creature noticed Coby was awake,"Are you OK?", it asked in a soft feminine voice. It's eye, which once held an intense glare, was now soft, gentle, & full of concern."Yeah, I'm fine", Coby said as he tried to sit up. He felt something help him up, looking over, he saw it wasn't the imp holding him up. It was it's hair, the imp's hair had transformed into a hand and was helping him sit up.
Coby wanted to ask it's name, but he could feel himself slipping back into unconsciousness. He heard it's voice as he slipped into darkness,"All that has occurred, will be forgotten". Coby wasn't sure how long he was out this time, but he heard another voice calling out to him, a very familiar one.
"Coby, come on Coby, wake up!", it called, bringing the teen back to reality. He opened his eyes to see his cousin, Andim."You OK Coby? I've been trying to wake you for at least five minutes or so", she asked, concern evident in her eyes and tone."I think so, but what happened", Coby asked a bit confused."I don't know, but if I had to guess, you probably passed out from heat stroke", Andim suggested.
Coby figured that made sense, he was wearing a hoodie in the middle of a desert."OK, let's get you in the shade, it's too flipping hot out here", Andim said before she placed his right arm over her right shoulder and wrapped her other arm around his waist, allowing Coby to lean on her for support. As Andim helped Coby into Breakdown's home, she heard Hot Shot and Red Alert's voices.
When they got inside, they saw that the two mechs were STILL arguing.'Oh my God, they're still at it!?', Andim thought, an anime vein mark appearing on her forehead. Coby recognized the look on Andim's face, reached into his pocket, & pulled out a pair of ear plugs. The look that was currently on Andim's face usually meant she was going to start yelling, so he always came prepared.
"WOULD YOU TWO SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY!?!?!?", Andim yelled at the top of her lungs. These were very good earplugs Coby had, he could be locked in a room filled with several barking Chihuahuas and not be able to hear them. But even with the plugs in, he could hear Andim, but her voice sounded like it normally would in conversation. Anyone who knew Andim well knew just how loud she could be.
(Later)
Once Andim had calmed down, which was after her two hour rant about how Hot Shot & Red Alert were oblivious to Coby's passing out while they were arguing, she was pretty much too tired to care about anything else and went to bed.
At first glance, she appeared quite peaceful. But upon closer observation, one could see that her slumber was anything but peaceful. Her face was scrunched a bit, she was trembling, had curled up into a ball, and her hands were clutching the blanket tightly. If you listened carefully, you could hear her mumble things like,"Go away", or,"Leave me alone"
~~Andim's dream~~
Andim panted as she continued to run through the jungle, the creatures chasing her not far behind. The creatures could not be seen very well, but they almost looked like mutated velociraptors. The girl ran until she came to a mountain side, a dead end. The rocky wall was covered with a thick sheet of ice, making it impossible for Andim to climb her way out. The creatures had her cornered.
A loud distorted shriek of a roar echoed throughout the skies as a large, bird-like beast came into view. The monstrous creature landed in front of the raptors and took a few menacing steps toward the girl. Suddenly, the whole world went dark, Andim felt herself falling for a few seconds before a bright red sphere formed around her.
Two bright pink, lightning bolt-like strands shot out from the interior of the sphere, wrapped themselves around her wrists, and held them high above her head. Andim struggled to break free, but she froze in fear when she heard a low, demonic voice speak."You may have gotten away from me once", it began as the same bird-beast came into view."But that will not happen again, you are never safe from me", it continued as the beast moved closer."YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ESCAPE ME, PRINCESS!", it said before the sphere began to shock Andim.
~~End dream~~
Andim's eyes flew open as she shot up, panting while she wiped some cold sweat from her brow. She jumped & released a startled yelp when she heard her communicator go off. The teen answered, and Reika's face appeared on the video com. link.
"Hey sis, what's up?", Reika asked."Not much Reika","Jeez Andim, are you OK? You look like crap", she asked."...I'll pretend I didn't hear the crap part. Anyway, I'm fine Rei, I just had a really screwed up dream is all", Andim replied."Which one? the one with the talking purple camel and the lemon jello or the one where Bud eats an entire airplane?", Reika asked.
Andim shook her head,"Neither, this one falls under the category of Seriously F***ed Up Beyond All Belief"."What was it about?","I'm not sure, I remember I was being chased by these freaky dino things, then this weird-ass, mutant, bird-thing come out of nowhere and starts saying crap like,'You can't escape me', and that's about it."
Reika was silent for a minute,"Wow, and I thought my dream was screwed up", she said."What was yours about?, was it the one where you were in that really messed up version of The Wizard Of Oz?", Andim asked. Reika shook her head,"No, this one had a much higher WTF level than the Wizard Of Oz dream. It started out as the dream with the Easter Bunny firing Easter eggs out of his fluffy, pink bazooka", she began.
Andim nodded,"Go on"."But then Megatron, Starscream, & Thundercracker appear, but here's the creepy part. They were all wearing frilly pink tutu' and flower crowns"."Now, here's where things start to get weird, Starscream & Thundercracker start doing the Can-Can while Megatron does a fabulous Swan Lake. Then Jetfire show up, and he's dressed like someone out of Highlander, and he shouts,'There can only be one!'. Then he goes poof, is surrounded by pink smoke, and when the smoke clears, he's dressed like Harry freaking Potter!".
"Then he says ,'Decepticus Cuticus'(dee-'cept-tea-cuss cute-tea-cuss), and flicks his "magic wand" at the decepticons, Starscream turns into a bunny, Megatron turns into a kitten, and Thundercracker turns into a toilet plunger!". Andim snorts in laughter."And the entire time, the Easter Bunny is in the background, smoking crack and firing Easter eggs from his bazooka at random people", Reika finished.
Andim was stunned,"Wow. That has got to be THE most screwed up dream in the history of screwed up dreams", she said."Yeah, I'm officially scarred for life", Reika said."Okay sis, I need to get back to sleep, it's gonna be a big day tomorrow", Andim said. Reika simply nodded,"OK Andim, I'll see you later", she said before she hung up. Andim sighed & set her communicator aside before she made herself comfortable and went back to sleep.
~~Dream~~
Andim was sitting upon a cliff watching the sunset. She had one leg drawn up to her chest while the other dangled lazily over the cliff. She eventually stood up, getting ready to return to base, when she felt some of the rock give away beneath her foot. This threw her off balance, Andim was about to fall off the cliff, but she felt someone grab her hand in a strong, firm, yet gentle grip.
Before she could react, her savior pulled her away from the cliff's edge and held her close to his chest. Andim noticed the man had royal blue hair, golden eyes, and had the autobot symbol on his sleeves."Andim, are you alright?", he asked her, his voice belonging to none other than-
"I'm OK Optimus", she said as she looked into his eyes. She was lost in his eyes, as was Optimus in her bright green eyes. He began to lean forward, she craned her neck, both closed their eyes. Within seconds, their noses were touching, their lips a mere inch apart. They drew closer and closer until-
HEY ANDIM!!!
*insert needle scratching record sound here*
~~End dream~~
Andim's eyes flew open, she growled in annoyance at the sudden interruption of her dream."Come on Andim, hurry up & get dressed, the race is gonna start soon!", Hot Shot said before he left the room to give her some privacy. Andim growled,'Hot Shot, you've just made my list", she thought bitterly as she got out of bed and got dressed.

I figured i should throw a little humor in there, since some of my work's been getting a little dry. And it looks like the twins are notorious for having very weird dreams. Who is this beast that appeared in Andim's dream? Could Andim be falling for the autobot commander? Why did Andim once dream of talking purple camels and lemon jello? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? you'll just have to find out next time.
