Silver Heart
By TimeAndLife21
"Back up! Back up!" Ironhide ordered as he was waving them back.
Nyx went ran and grabbed Sam and Mikaela, pulling them back.
"Nyx! Wait!" Sam shouted but Nyx wasn't having any of it.
"Bumblebee!" Ironhide shouted.
Him and Bee lifted up a delivery truck as a shield.
Nyx shouted orders. "FALL BACK! FALL BACK!" What happened next was a blur for Nyx.
She heard shots being fired. An explosion erupted in front of them and she felt herself being blown backward. She blacked out for a few minutes. As she opened her eyes, she could hear ringing in her ears. Everything moved slowly and her hearing felt like she was underwater. Getting up slowly, felt her chest constrict and she coughed up blood - a punctured lung most likely. She started to hear the voices again. "
Protect. Save. Protect. Save." At these whispers, she could painfully feel her rib snap back into place, coughing out the blood that was left in her lung as it stitched itself up.
She opened her eyes yet again and Will ran up to her and dragged her to the near the makeshift blockade. She shook her head a few times before taking the weapon she clutched in her hand as looked over the blockade.
"Protect. Haven. Well of…" The whispers continued.
She felt a burning pain throughout her body. It was practically overriding her body systems and her nerves turned to ice. She closed her eyes tightly before she ran over to Will and his friend.
"That's not friendly." He said glaring at Will.
"I could've told you that!" She shouted as she lay on her belly looking over the makeshift barricade.
"Nyx! You all right?" Will asked.
"Oh I'm fine, just really peachy." She said as she was catching her breath.
She heard the whispers fading, but they didn't go away completely. She could hear Will's comrade speak into the radio about the coordinates when she saw a tank 60 meters away. It opened fire. She ducked as it hit just beside them.
"Damn it!" She growled.
"Move out! Let's go!" Will said as he ran to the military vehicles, she took off after him. She ran over to the driver's side and shouted.
"Move soldier! I'm driving!" She said as she roughly pushed the man to the passenger side.
"Hang on Kiddos! It's going to be a rough ride from here!" She shouted as she gunned the engine and sped down the destroyed street.
She needed to get this batch of soldiers to the left hand side to get a clear shot at the tank. She barked out orders to shoot the tank on sight. She slammed into the brake pedal and got out.
"MOVE, MOVE, MOVE! Take your positions! Fire at will!" She shouted as she got out, ran down 15 feet and aimed and fired. She had to duck a couple of times and pull one of the soldiers out of the way of the tank's sight.
She sat behind the barricade and reloaded, all the while seeing Ironhide drive their way at a breakneck speed. She heard the Tank fire a few rounds at him. He transformed and did a front flip then as he stuck the landing, firing at the Tank getting a couple of hits in. She finished reloading her gun and fired at the Tank, until her ammo ran out. She threw her gun down and sat back with tactics running through her mind.
She turned back around to see what else is going on. Jazz charged up to the tank and grabbed it by the muzzle, getting a few hits in. The Tank transformed, trying to get Jazz off, but he was able to disarm its larger weaponry system. Jazz tried to grab its arm to put it in a chokehold, but the bot grabbed at him and threw him in her direction.
"Oh shi-!" She ducked. She heard screeches of metal and a loud thud behind her. The ground shook as she felt onto her bottom. She turned and heard Jazz groan.
"You fool! You should have jumped off him while you had the chance!" She said as she ran over to him.
"Shawty…WE IN A WAR!" Jazz said as he got up.
"I know." She grinned as the adrenaline pumped through her veins.
The moment for her was short-lived as she heard a devastating unearthly transformation behind her.
"Megatron! Fall back!" Jazz got up, activated his shield to defend himself and she looked up frozen in place.
Megatron was still the same twisted metal being that she saw when she was young. He was the stuff of nightmares.
"Where is the cube?" He ordered. She took off running shouting orders to the soldier.
"Retreat! The autobots can take care of it! GO! GO! GO!" She shouted as the soldiers followed her orders.
She could hear the thundering of giant feet behind her and she could hear Jazz and Ironhide shout her name. She skidded to a stop and turned around just in time to see Megatron's hand reached towards her. She felt her mind kick into high gear. She jumped onto his hand, running up his arm, avoiding the crevices, and jumped over his shoulder, reaching out for the plate of metal that was poking out. She could heard Megatron's roar of frustration as he tried to grab her, but it was futile as she saw Jazz run full speed at them and tackled Megatron from behind. She lost her grip and fell to the ground. She stuck the landing and rolled to lessen the damage.
"Run Nyx! We'll hold him off!" Ironhide shouted as he took a shot at Megatron.
She did as she was told. She ran down an alleyway and turned onto a street.
"Where's Optimus when you need him?" She thought frantically.
She ran past people that were trying to get away from the carnage and she found Sam sitting on some rubble with Bumblebee. She noticed that his legs weren't there.
"Damn it!" She shouted as she got to Sam.
"Nyx!" He shouted. She could tell that he was happy to see her. Bumblebee was too. He whirred and chirped, seeing that she was alive and okay.
"You guys okay enough?" She said as she over looked them.
"I don't know what to do…" Sam said as he pulled the All Spark close to his chest. She understood. They needed to get the All Spark out of here. Suddenly, a tow truck parked behind her and she saw Mikaela get out.
"Sam! Nyx! Help me with this." She said as she started to grab chains. Nyx looked from the chains to Bumblebe and she caught on.
"Okay! Bee! Can you crawl to the back of this tow truck here?" Mikaela asked. He nodded and crawled as best he could and Nyx and Mikaela chained him up to the truck. She heard explosions behind her and she didn't want Sam and Mikaela in the crossfire.
"Sam!" She heard Will's voice.
She didn't pay attention as she was helping Mikaela get Bee chained up. She could hear the whining pain from him.
"Its okay Bee. It'll be fine. You're a soldier. Give me a minute to help you okay?" She said as she placed her hand on his shoulder and sent blue pulses through him.
Bee gave her a wide look and he started to look at her as if she was a whole new species.
"Don't get too comfy." She said as she stopped. He chirped after she got down and saw Sam arguing with Will.
"Be careful Bee. Shoot any 'Con that comes our way." She ordered. He chirped an affirmation and she went over to Will.
"Nyx help me." Sam asked her with wide eyes.
"Let me guess, get Sam and the cube out of here?" She asked Will.
"Yeah he needs to go through the white building over there," He pointed at the building. "Air support will take him and get out of here." He said.
She shook her head, it was impossible unless... they needed a distraction. She looked at Sam. Then she saw the cube he had in his arms. She bit her lip. She could hear the whispers.
"Rise…Ashes…Save. Well….Sparks…"
She reached for the cube and touched a millisecond she saw flashes of a world passing by. Then she saw the copy of herself.
"You'll do fine…" She said smiling.
The next thing she knew she opened her eyes and looked at Sam.
"You'll be fine Sam. No Sacrifice. No Victory. " She said as she bore her glowing eyes into Sam's.
"Nyx, your skin…" He stuttered.
"I know." She snapped as she turned and started to run.
"Ratchet! Ironhide! Protect Sam! I'll make a distraction! Get Sam to that building!" She said as she took off passing Ratchet and Ironhide.
"NYX! GET BACK HERE!" Will ordered.
She didn't listen. She passed a Decepticon as it tried to reach for her, but she slipped past it and kicked its hand away. She didn't see the damage that her kick did to the deception's hand.
She was running down five blocks before something slammed down in front of her. She tripped over a large block of rubble and fell onto ground hard. She felt the skin of her hands tear and bleed, accidentally bit her tongue and tasted the iron in her mouth. She groaned as she pushed herself up. As she did so, she looked up and almost screamed. She saw Jazz. His bottom half was ripped off and he was still moving.
"JAZZ!" She screamed.
She ran up to him, shouting at him to stay alive. "Jazz you better stay with me!" She said as she ran up to his helm.
"Jazz!" She shouted. She heard a high-pitched whine coming from him.
"Sha…ty…" He tried to speak then his vocal processors started to short out.
"You'll be fine, you short bus! Stay with me!" She shouted as she started to tear.
She saw her reflection in his cracked visor, barely seeing his dimming optics.
"So…rry. Looks…. like I…lucked…out." He crackled.
"Hell No! You are not dying on me Jazz!" She shouted.
She jumped onto his chassis and tried to shake him to stay awake.
"Jazz!" She shouted one last time.
That was when she started to glow brighter. She brought up her hands and saw that they were encased in a glowing electrical light. Then she felt like she was taking a back seat in a car. Her body was taken over by something. But she saw herself touching the chest plates and it opened up. There she saw a spark.
She reached down and gently pulled the spark out and she heard, "Little Well, guard them well." She held the spark close to her chest, feeling it enter her body and she saw the letters and symbols again. She felt herself slam back into her body and fell off his chassis. She hit the ground hard and her vision tunneled.
She heard ringing in her ears. There were people running out of the way and she looked back to Jazz. He wasn't moving. She felt something wet going down her cheeks and wiped at it. It was a light blue glowing tear. She gritted her teeth as she painfully got up, but failed to do so as she fell back on the ground feeling pain rack her body. The pain was white hot and it felt like she was burning to death. She rolled onto her back and she heard explosions a few blocks down. The explosions were deafening to her, blowing her eardrums, feeling her bones crack and expand.
"You'll be fine." She heard the soft voice of the All-Spark. "You may have questions that want to be answered, but for now…wait." Then she heard and saw no more.
She could hear thundering footsteps coming her way before she fully opened her eyes. It was painful after opening them, but she wanted to know what was going on.
"Jazz…Frag it to the pit." She heard Ironhide growl.
"Phoenix. Are you functional?" She saw Ratchet reach for her and picked her up gently in his hands.
"Ratchet…" Her voice cracked.
"Rest easy Phoenix. You look like you've taken a beating." Ratchet spoke.
"Where's Sam?" she said worriedly. Then she started to look around frantically.
"Jazz!" She said she turned to her side.
She saw Ironhide pick up the half of Jazz that died in front of her. She felt the burning tears behind her eyes wanting to flow but she didn't. She placed her forehead against the cold steel of Ratchets fingers and took deep breaths. It was Like 'Nam all over again. Except that the enemy didn't rip people in half or tear into them like animals.
She looked away. "He died bravely." Ratchet said solemnly.
She didn't say anything as Ratchet carried her. She was numb. She never felt like this after a war. After the Cold War and even Vietnam…She was fighting for her country. This time…she's fighting for the world.
"Sam…is he okay?" She asked. She hoped that Sam was safe.
"He is with Optimus. Megatron is dead. The All-Spark is destroyed." Ratchet said as he grabbed the bottom half of Jazz.
She wanted to throw up but refrained. She leaned back as Ratchet and Ironhide kept walking toward Optimus.
"Optimus, it was too late." Ratchet spoke. Meaning Jazz.
"We have lost a comrade, but we have gained new ones. Thank you. All of you. You honor us through your bravery." He spoke. Nyx smiled. At least everyone else made it. She could hear Bumblebee speak and asked permission to stay with Sam.
"I guess he'll need the protection. Bee's a good soldier." She thought. She took a deep breath and placed her sorrow on a mental shelf. She needed to get it together...for now.
She sighed as she got up and whistled sharply, gaining everyone's attention.
"All right everybody, call in the others, we need to get this city cleaned up before this hits national news. I don't know about you guys…but let's roll." She said as she looked down at them.
At this, Will and his partner shouted orders to get everything taken care of. She asked Ratchet to put her down and he complied. She walked over to Sam, placing a hand on his shoulder. He looked up.
"Hey Nyx. So…what now?" He asked. Nyx looked up around her. The Autobots were speaking amongst themselves; heaven knows what they are talking about now. The soldiers were calling in back up to clean up the city from Decepticon leftovers.
"Well, we'll find out soon." She said looking up at the sky.
(What I've Done)
Nyx was standing on a hill along with the Autobots, wearing a white tank top with leather jackets, white washed blue jeans and converse. Her blonde hair was loose and flowing with the wind. She was standing next to Optimus watching the sunset. Sam and Mikaela were on Bumblebee's hood. She rolled her eyes at the cliché high school Scene. Things were changing for her. If they haven't changed for her back in the 1940s, they defiantly have now.
I guess my life will be taking a turn for the best. Working with the Autobots has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. Optimus spoke about more of our allies that are currently bound for earth. If you have ever asked me if I could live forever, I would tell you that you are crazy. But I'm thankful for some things. I'm glad that I have met the Autobots. They may have answers for my questions. Back then I would never have thought about my life, or lives, to take a turn like this. I'm glad. Now we're fighting a war against the Decepticons. You can be sure that the Autobots and I will defend the earth with many comrades. My name is Phoenix Sparks, and it is now my solemn promise to fight alongside the Autobots and defeat the Decepticons. Protect the world from threats. I assure you we will be there.
Nyx smiled. Her life had changed for the better…
Or has it?
TAL21: GAH! You have no IDEA how hard it was to write this chapter. It was being a jerk to me. Anyways, i thought Nyx kicked ass here, but don't worry there will be MORE ass-kicking in the future. I will keep working on SILVER HEART. No sequel (As in starting a new story separate from this) It will stay in this story. I hope that made sense. But the Next arc will be Nyx and her MILITARY LIFE with the Autobots and NEST! WOOHOO! Also a little spoiler, there will be scientists in the next few chapters. But who are these scientists hmm? That's for me to know and you to find out! Slight update: IT"S OVER 9000! (Views!) Now, ONWARD TO SHOUT OUTS!:
HanamiKaze: Yes, she will be working with NEST and will search for a reversal for her little 'Curse', but for now, it's there to stay...or will it? HMN. XD As for Jazz...well what do you think?
Guestinthehouse: I'm glad you loved the last chapter, I thought it was pretty kick-ass myself. XD As for her 'Mutant' Status, i guess she could be one if she was in the Marval Universe, which would have been true if the Transformers Franchise stayed with Marval. XD Tis a shame though. As for Will's freak out...get ready for it. XD
Victorie the Posh Totty: I want Nyx to show her humanity as much as possible. Yeah i like OCs that have a little more power then usual, but i didn't want to do that with Nyx. She will be showing more of her Humanity in the next few chapters. As for who Nyx is going to be paired up with...that's my little secret. BWHAHAHA!
Okay! Done with the shout outs. Now i hope your imagination runs wild for the next chapter cuz you have to wait another week or so (Maybe earlier) for the next one! I HAVE A NEW POLL FOR THE FINAL FOUR of who you think Nyx will be paired up with. So i hope you guys have enjoyed this chapter! I would LOVE to have detailed reviews as always and i would love to hear from you! There is also SPEED DEMONS, If you want to check out a new TF story on my Profile! GIVE IT A SHOT! REMEMBER TO KEEP READING AND WRITING! :D
PS:We all know that Nyx was experimented on in the 1940s, but what if she WAS a normal 21-year old woman with a Teaching Degree living next to the Witwicky's, what would have changed? Would she still go along with Sam about saving the world? What do you think?
SEE YOU NEXT CHAPTER! :D
