Protector pt X
A/N: ok due to popular demand I'm having both done in this chapter…kinda…but anyways! Again a MAJOR thank you for all the wonderful reviews and the input! Loves to all!
The black Autobot's processor was working at almost full capacity. Tell her? Tell her how?! When?! He thought frantically. He was pulled form his thoughts by Kory pulling away from his side and sitting back down on the couch. Then there was an awkward silence, or at least it was awkward to Ironhide. Kory, as if sensing his discomfort, was the one to break the silence.
"Wanna watch a movie?" She asked, her dark blue eyes meeting his crystal blue ones. Before he could even react, she had already gotten to her feet and was looking through her collection. Running a hand through her chin length light brown hair she sighed. She wanted to pick out a movie that she thought Ironhide would like. Hmmm, he seems like a guy that would like lots of explosions, she thought to herself as she pulled out the move The Rock.
"This is one of my favorites," she said kneeling in front of the TV and putting the movie in. "I think you'll like it too, lots of explosions." She said with a grin as she looked over her shoulder at the hologram. To her confusion he was frowning.
"Y-You don't have to stay of you don't wan to," she said in a soft voice, turning back to the TV. "I-I just thought that-" Ironhide realized what his facial expression must have conveyed.
"Oh, no Kory its' not that," he said kneeling beside her, fearing that he may have unintentionally hurt her feelings. "I can only sustain my hologram form for 30 to 45 minutes, depending how far away from my body I am." Kory nodded in understanding, and then thought for a moment.
"I have an idea," she said aloud as she got to her feet and went upstairs to her room. Seconds later she emerged with her laptop in her hands. Understanding what she had in mind, a faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he nodded and his hologram disappeared.
Seconds later Kory was sitting in Ironhide's cab, wrapped in her soft blanket, with The Rock playing on her laptop. The arms specialist activated his hologram and watched the movie beside his passenger. As the movie progressed, Kory got more and more tired. By the time the credits started, she was asleep on Ironhide's shoulder. Grinning slightly, he moved her from his shoulder and leaned back her seat. Brushing a few stray strands of hair from her face he sighed.
"Primus help me," he whispered to himself. "I love you Kory."
At the Autobot Base
Jazz was sitting in the control room, bored as usual. That quickly changed when two Decepticon signatures appeared on the screen.
"Oh shit," he cursed when he realized that they were heading straight for Kory's house. He tried to radio Ironhide but he had turned his communicator off. Cursing yet again he called Optimus.
"Optimus, we got a situation," he said, watching the two signals as they gained speed.
Back at Kory's
Both Ironhide and Kory were pulled from sleep by a missal exploding ten feet from where they were. The weapons specialist instantly went into battle mode.
"What's going on?!" Kory asked in a panic.
"Decepticons," came the Autobot's gruff response. "Kory, get out and hide in the basement." Not needing to be told twice, Kory flung open the door and made a mad dash for the door. She didn't get very far. Blackout fired several rounds at her, causing her to fall to the ground. Barricade transformed and lunged at Ironhide. The two metal giants met with a loud crash and wrestled to the floor, throwing punch after punch at each other.
Kory was panicking. She wanted to help Ironhide, but how? Then she saw the helicopter transform as well and approach the two wrestling mechs with his weapon drawn. Gotta do something, Kory thought as she looked around frantically for something that could be used as a weapon. Running to her garage she rummaged around until she found what she was looking for. Fireworks.
"Perfect," she mumbled under her breath as she grabbed her 'weapons' and a lighter, she ran back outside. By this time Ironhide was having some problems holding off the two Decepticons. Dropping the fireworks Kory picked up a bottle rocket, lit it and aimed it at the helicopter.
"Hey! Over here you overgrown blender!" She yelled getting its attention. Blackout glared at Kory with its bright red eyes and pulled out its canon. No sooner had he done that, the firework launched itself into his left optic. Roaring in anger and pain, he reeled back and covered his optic with one hand.
Not waiting more then two seconds, Kory then set off a series of smokers, covering her yard in a mix of red, blue and green haze. Blackout, still clutching his wounded optic, fired several times into the smoke. Kory coughed violently as the smoke stung her lungs painfully. Staggering from the cloud of mixed colors, she was plucked from the ground by a very angry Blackout.
"Wretched human," he growled as he tightened his hold on Kory's much smaller frame. Said girl gasped as she felt the air being crushed form her lungs. Blackout's torture was ceased when a semi truck with red flames smashed into his legs, causing him to fall and for Kory to go flying and landing in a crumpled heap in the road.
Black spots filled Kory's vision as she sat herself up. She tied to push herself to her feet but every part of her body throbbed with pain. Looking at her arms she found that they were covered in scrapes and cuts, accompanied by forming bruises. She then looked up at the battle that was still raging in front of her. Optimus and Ironhide were beating the two Decepticons and the helicopter and police car knew it.
Barricade yelled something to Blackout in their native tongue and the two of them transformed. Blackout took to the sky with Optimus still firing at him and Barricade burned rubber as he sped towards Kory. Ironhide saw this and immediately started to fire at the Decepticon. What he didn't expect was for a spiny silver hand to reach from the car and pull the young woman in. Frenzy. The door to the car slammed shut and sped off.
"KORY!" The weapons specialist yelled. Just as he was about to transform and chase after Barricade, Optimus stopped him. The black Autobot looked at the leader confused.
"You can't go after her in your current condition," he said calmly. He hadn't even noticed it, but energon was leaking from his side. Pain, both physical and emotional, was obvious in the mechs optics as he watched Barricade disappear with Kory.
"Don't worry Ironhide," he said as he draped one of Ironhide's arms over his shoulders. "We'll get her back."
A/N: AHHHHH PLEASE DON'T HATE ME FOR THE ENDING!! runs and hides behind Jazz TT on a different note! Look forward to a chase scene in the next installment! And Kory doesn't get along well with Frenzy…AT ALL!
