My Tooth Fairy
Energy: Depleted
Enjoy!
"My lord."
"What is it, StarScream. . I'm busy!" The Decepticon SIC stepped back and silently stood before walking towards his leader. "This better be important." Megatron said, shifting in his throne to see the mech before him holding a datapad.
"I was searching through our old experimental files and found this." He lifted it towards Megatron and the brute leader snatched it out of his servo's. "It's of the trial we did eight years ago, seeing if we could trade out a human heart for a cybertronian spark."
"Hmm, what importance does this have to me?"
"You might be pleased to know that the human is still alive."
"Really?"
"Yes, her body has most likely fully accepted the spark, giving her some of the abilities us cybertronians have."
"This is interesting. Do you remember of any spark we used?"
"We used only one, an unclaimed spark that most likely came from a Cybertronian ship we vitalized or one of our fallen comrades. Never would we stoop so low to give a human a fragment of our sparks."
"Yes, there is no need or want to be bonded to such a disgusting meatbag such as a human." Megatron stood up and walked down towards StarScream. "Can we control this human?"
"No, that is the only downside of not using our own sparks fragments."
"I see. Then I do not see any major importance to her anymore."
"On the contrary, Lord Megatron. . We've tried many other times to insert sparks for hearts in our human subjects and they all have died. . She's the only one who's survived. If we kidnap her, she may be of use to perfecting our experimentation. . . And by doing this, Lord Megatron, we will have a human army to control at our disposal, ones who cannot runaway if and when we bring back Cybertron."
"We will never be able to bring Cybertron to Earth, StarScream; but we can very well send those humans to Cybertron."
"Is the space-bridge done?"
"Almost, then we shall re-create Cybertron even more glorious than before, and with the might of my servo ruling over it, I shall concur and control every planet out there. All those aliens worlds, mine for the taking. Cybertronians shall live everywhere and control everything!" Megatron laughed, his crimson red optics glowing brighter and deadlier.
The sun blared down on Alexis as she walked out of the house and towards IronHide who was currently cleaning his alt-form. She held a tray with a freshly stacked sandwich and water. Seeing the food, the man stopped and turned to her; smiling, he took the tray. "Thanks." He said with slower speech. He hadn't had much energy the past hours and he knew that even with human food, he was working on his last reserves.
"How are you doing?" Even though anyone could tell he was beat, Alexis was among the few that knew he was about to fall into stasis lock.
"Fine, I'm taking a recharge after this to keep my energy at a minimum capacity." The woman's face scrunched into that of worry and she ran a hand down his arm.
"You know I was just joking this morning, I really wouldn't mind if you wanted me to finish de-mudding your system."
He shifted his lips into a smile. "As much as I would enjoy that, there are places that you have to avoid due to corrosion. . I'll be fine." Taking the food and water, he handed her the tray back and she walked back into the house, thoughts swirling in her mind at what could happen; the last thing she wanted was to find him passed out or dead from lack of energy; she knew energon was important to them, she just didn't want to find out how important. Shutting the door behind herself, the woman walked back to the kitchen to prepare the rest of hers and Kili's lunches.
Alexis watched as IronHide's holoform disintegrated after cleansing his whole vehicle form. The curtain before her fell back into place and she sighed, it was agonizing knowing that there wasn't much umph left in him and there was nothing at all that she could do about it.
Sulking in her thoughts, Alexis was brought back to reality as her phone began buzzing in her pocket. She bit her lip, her parents didn't know where she was or what she was doing; heck they didn't know what she was involved in. Looking at the screen, she let out a sigh of relief when she noticed it wasn't her parents, but instead, a random number. She was hesitant, not many times had she gotten random calls, but usually they were salespeople, and she knew how to ward them off.
She swiped the slider and answered. "Hello."
"Alexis?" The voice didn't sound familiar.
"This is her."
"It's me. Bumblebee."
"Bee, why are you calling?"
"All the bots here. They're under some kind of mind control. I'm tellin ya' it's freakin' me out! I managed though to stay out of the line of fire!"
"Okay, calm down."
"Where are you?"
"In hiding."
"'Hide with you?"
"Ya." She looked out the window at the resting mech. "He's low on energon and I don't know what'll happen when he hits empty."
"I'll tell ya it ain't gonna be good."
"It's what I figured. Hey, if you're free from being controlled, would you be able to come here with us and bring some energon with you?"
"Sure thing, sweetcheeks."
"Bee."
"Sorry. . But yep, I'll come." She smiled at the answer and rested against the wall. Her and Bumblebee talked for a little while longer, she telling him the main road they were located was, but not their exact location, she knew how tapping worked and she wouldn't allow that to happen to her now or ever. When their conversation ended, Alexis kept the smile for a little while longer before getting up and heading to where Kili was watching cartoons.
Alexis sat down next to her friend and clicked the mute button, to which she received immediate and defensive actions from the girl. "Ki, listen to me!" The blonde reached for the remote and Alexis threw it across the room. "I have to go out for a while and if TF wakes up, I don't want you telling him that I'm gone or where I've gone to."
"Why?" The girl asked, a scowl plastered across her face.
"'Cause I'm looking out for him, and he doesn't need to worry, he's got his own problems right now."
"Ok, now can I finish watching my show?" Ravage had come back with the remote in his mouth and carefully handed it to Kili. "I'm very in tune with what I watch."
"Sure, I'm not leaving just yet, but I wanted to tell you ahead of time."
"Kay. Consider my lips sealed shut." The girl turned the volume back on and proceeded to get lost once again in her own reality of kids TV shows. Alexis prepared for her small journey, the town wasn't too far off, neither was the road, but she had to trek down a forested mountain in order to get there, doubling her time and efforts.
Five o' clock chimed on the grandfather clock and Alexis pulled a shoulder bag over her head. Tying her shoes, she exited the house. The woman stopped just before IronHide and stayed still long enough to hear him breathing silently. She leaned in and lightly pressed her lips to his passenger door and then walked off towards the brunt of the forested area.
Branches and dead leaves crunched under her hiking boots. Pushing back the still attached branches of the trees she watched as her path became narrower as she inverted farther into the heart of the forest. "AHH!" She stomped her boot down atop a spider that had dared to crawl across her foot; feeling the sudden pain of her stomping one foot atop another, she bit her lip and waited through the pain before going again. "And mom and dad wonder why I hate hiking."
As she trekked even farther down the path, she saw many signs, but only smiled when one said she was only a quarter of a mile out. Seeing the small buildings of the town, Alexis burst through the forest and stomped down the shadow free ground until she hit the first ounce of actual civilization. Her eyes scanned the town for any signs of the yellow and black sports car; but with no traces, she assumed he stayed on the desolate road.
Moving her throbbing legs, Alexis hurried to where the scout would be, but still couldn't find any trace of him.
"So won't you come over here? Come over here, come over here." Hearing the noise, she looked farther of where the trees were and saw the car sitting under the hot sun, his metal bouncing light rays and making him seem more like a mirage than anything else.
"Bee, am I so glad to see you." Alexis ran over and hugged his hood, but immediately snapped back from the burning touch. Stepping back, the driver side door swung open and her eyes widened. "Did you bring, General Lennox? Oh, you are amazing, Bee, now we-" Her sentence dropped short as the person came into sight.
"Hello, best friend." Double Kili smirked at the woman's expression. Pushing down her aviators she slammed the car door shut. "You look surprised to see me, Alexis. Am I not your best friend?" Her voice was one of hurt, but her expression was one of malice. "You know, last time I saw you, I was sure you'd be dead. Drowning in a rushing river, I mean, now many humans survive that." She paused. "But then, well the oddest thing happened. . I found out that you aren't exactly human at all." Double Kili stepped forward and Alexis stepped back. "A human with a spark, that was something very interesting to learn, especially that you were alive and kicking after eight years. . . How my master was excited to learn about you, yes, especially since you're a rare thing; the only surviving human out of all the ones we've tested on." She laughed, her eyes glinting a crimson red.
"What did you do with, BumbleBee?"
"Just what I did with everyone else." She laughed louder. "Oh, did you actually think he called you out of free will? Please, he may of been harder to rally in, but I have all the Autobots under my possession now, all except one. That dear precious IronHide of yours. How's he doing by the way, I heard he's been going down lately."
"You monster!"
"I'll take that as a compliment. Oh, and before I forget." Double Kili reached into the back and pulled out a few energon cubes, albeit they were smaller than usual, more human accessible. "I thought I'd be nice for a change."
"You're giving them to me?"
Another laugh, although this one more boisterous and maniacal. "Oh dear no, these I will bargain you for. You come with me, willingly, and IronHide gets his energon he needs."
"No tricks?"
"Does it look like I have any sleeves on me.?" Double Kili retorted pointing to her short sleeve shirt. "No tricks, just a bargain for your life."
"I." Alexis looked to the cubes, IronHide truly needed them, and as of now, he was the only Autobot left; his life was more important than hers at the moment. "I'll do it. . How will you get these to him?"
"I have my ways. . Now get in the car." Both doors flung open and Alexis began making the defeated walk towards the passenger side. Looking back to the forest that rested near them, she huffed and began getting in. Just as the doors locked, they unlocked and the two women were shoved out of the vehicle. BumbleBee transformed and changed his servo's to weapons. Charging up the blasters, he pointed them at Double Kili. "What! What are you doing? You stupid robot! Stop!"
"Go, Go, Go! I got this one!"
"No, you dumb, stupid-." Double Kili pulled out a small device and began fiddling with it.
"Go before I leave!" Alexis ran for the cubes and began shuffling them into her arms. Double Kili, being as adamant as she was rude, grabbed onto the girls ankle and pulled her face first into the ground.
"No you don't! I will have you brought back to, Megatron!" Alexis used her free foot to repeatedly kick the girl in the face. As she did, the skin began to flake off and show metal interior. "Stop that!" Her voice became metallic as the left side face of her human disguise became more robotic. With one last kick, Alexis broke free; scrambling up the fallen cubes she burst into the woods and made sure to not look back. She heard BumbleBee transform once again and the sound of an engine rumbling down the forgotten highway.
Alexis slowed her pace and breathed heavily, her lungs burning as her adrenaline rush depleted to nothing. She heaved out her breaths, each one seeming harder than the last to take in. Waggling up the hill, her consciousness about ready to faint from exhaustion, the woman finally spotted the house through the thick of the trees. "Come on, you can do it." Alexis coughed and pushed herself up. Weakly she made it, crashing before the open yard, the small versioned energon cubes scattering before her.
"What do you mean she's gone!" She lifted her head at the voice to see IronHide and Kili conversing inside. "You shouldn't of let her go!"
"Well, I don't exactly have the means to stop her, NOW DO I!?" The girl shouted back, angrily.
"It doesn't hurt to try!"
"You could've stopped her."
"I was in recharge!"
"You could've tried."
"I swear-" Alexis hear Ravage jump at IronHide and he stomped out of the house. Shaking his head, he looked at his vehicle form and then scanned the yard fearfully. His lips moved rapidly, but his words were silent to the ear. Alexis pushed herself up, gaining enough balance on her knees to collect the fallen cubes once again. As the man saw movement, his eyes locked onto her and he ran over as fast as his energy reserves would allow him to go. "Alexis!" He scooped her up into a bear hug and she felt the air being pushed out of her lungs. "Don't you ever, I mean ever go out without tellin' me! Understood?" She answered with a squeak and he let her go. "Where did you go?"
"BumbleBee called. . Said he was the only one left. . Said he could bring energon. . I fell for it." Her sentence's broke from exhaustion.
"Did he ambush you?"
"Fake, Ki. She made it up. She almost got me."
"Got you? Alexis what's going on here?" She handed him the small cubes and then fell before him, her own energy gone. IronHide dropped the cubes and picked the woman up, to him she was more important, energon could wait another few minutes. Right?
right, Right, RIGHT!? You shall have to find out in the next chapter! *insert evil laugh here*. I hope you liked this chapter, a little bit more action for you all since the past couple chaps have been a little bit lacking on that subject. Eh, I don't know, I think I have a fetish was action or something, it's quite crazy.
