Me: Finally! After three or four years after putting up a poll to decide finish stories I finish first, I can finally write this story again.
Getting my other stories done to do this wasn't exactly easy, but now that I'm working on the story again, I can finish it!
I redid the other chapters so I hope they are better to understand.
What Lita/Mega Power and Tima look like is on my Deviantart account, MatrixMindAngel. Go take a look at it.
Well, time to get to writing. Hope you enjoy the chapter!
Once the Autobots and the Auto Sirens were back and were probably introduced, Blaze had pulled Shimmer and Smokescreen to the Med Bay to get checked out while Optimus had hugged Tima, but Ratchet said she needed to be checked out as well.
So now, Shimmer, Blaze, Smokescreen, Optimus, Ratchet, and Tima were in the Med Bay being checked out. Even through Shimmer, Smokescreen, and Tima was a bit irritated about it, they knew they had to get checked out.
"So, how are you getting along," Optimus asked Tima, who Ratchet was scanning.
Tima smiled, "Oh nothing. Just following my controlled sister, fighting her sometimes, fighting cons, getting your message, and right now, sitting on a slab waiting for the doctor to finish."
"Seems you never lost that tongue of yours," Ratchet says.
Tima smirked at the medic, "Never have, never will, Hatchet."
Ratchet growled, lifting his head from the screen on his arm to glare at the young Prime sitting on the slab. Tima grinned impishly at the medic, grinning to proudly and unafraid of Ratchet's stare.
"Watch it, kid. You may be a Prime and Optimus's kid, but I won't hesitate to hit you on the head with a wrench. Then you will be laying down on the slab instead of sitting on it," Ratchet warned her.
Tima shugged, unbothered at the threat.
Smokescreen laughed, but the laughter quickly died when Ratchet turned to glare at him. Blaze shot Ratchet an amused look before finishing what she was doing with Smokescreen and walked over to Shimmer.
"Well, after singing to heal you, you are good to go. Just be a little more careful. We do have school tomorrow, it is a Sunday. And I really don't want to miss the first day of school and earn a bad reputation, even if we can know everything now," Blaze said.
Shimmer laughed, nodding in agreement.
"You know, I'm glad we have finally found other bots. It is nice to talk to each other, but having others to talk to is something we both needed," Smokescreen said.
Tima hummed, nodding to what Smokescreen said. Seeing Blaze walk back over to Smokescreen as Ratchet started to fix Tima's leg, Shimmer got off the slab and walked to the door.
"I'm gonna go check on the others. Rest when your done Blaze. Going to school accounts for you too," Shimmer said.
Blaze huffed but understood. Shimmer watched as Optimus pulled Tima's head to rest against his chest, lowering his head to rest against her forehead. Smiling at the fatherly move Optimus pulled, Shimmer turned and walked out the door.
Shimmer walked into the Main Room when she heard laughter coming from the place the kids stayed when they were here, so they were out of the Autobot's walking path. Curious, she walked over to see what was the laughter all about.
She soon got her answer.
"What type of Phone does a skeleton use," Miko asked.
When Jack, Raf, and Faith shrugged, Miko gave a wicked grin.
"A skele-Phone!"
Jack, Raf, and Faith laughed, clutching their chest in laughter. Miko laughed too, glad that she succeeded. When he calmed down enough, Raf looked at Miko with a grin.
"Oh, I thought you were gonna say I-Bone six," Raf joked.
"I really need to put more backbone into my jokes," Miko groaned in a way that was so fake, causing the others to laugh more.
June and Agent Fowler were sitting on the couch, looking at the kids with smiles and raised eyebrows. Leaning forward, Agent Fowler smiled and his eyes twinkled as a thought came to him.
"What did the squirrel say while he crossed the road," Agent Fowler asked.
The kids quieted up, trying to find an answer. However, Shimmer saw that June's eyes lite up at the question and before the kids could speak, yelled out her own answer that made Shimmer cover her mouth as laughter came up.
"Move your nuts!"
The reaction the kids had was priceless, for they laughed again, fell to the floor. Fowler ended up laughing against the couch, leaning back into it.
"What did you say," Faith asked.
"Move your nuts," June repeated, making them laugh again.
"Mom," Jack yelled, laughing.
"My mom pulled that one on me when I was Jack's age. So when this joke came up, I couldn't resist," June smirked.
Shimmer dropped her hand a chuckled. Hearing more laughing, Shimmer looked and saw Dusk, Arcee, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead trying to stop their laughter but it was useless as it kept falling through the cracks of their hands.
Wheeljack and Dazzle were leaning against the wall, chuckling as well. Shimmer shook her head and decided to watch as the Miko called for another round of jokes. This was a good thing to come back to after falling down a hole and being injured.
Shimmer sighed, closing her eyes as her thoughts brought her to Mega Power, Lita Prime controlled by the Decepticons or more likely, Megatron. How were they gonna free her when they didn't know what happened to her to make her become controlled?
One thing is for sure, Shimmer was gonna to research to see what she could find in Cybertronian history that would have the answers they seek to free her.
"I will find a way," Shimmer silently promised herself.
Nemesis
A scream echoed through the room, making the drones shiver. The drones dusk as one of them was tossed over them to hit the wall behind them. Looking up, them cowered when Mega Power stood before them in an angry gaze.
"You failed the mission! A mission was so simple! No wonder why Sire hasn't beaten the Autobot's yet! You are all so weak and dumb and you can't even hit your target! Your the reason why the war hasn't been won yet," Mega Power screeched.
Starscream leaned towards Knockout, hand cupping one side of his mouth.
"And she is just screaming at them and not doing anything but that. It's not like she did any better," Starscream whispers to the con medic.
Mega Power, whipped around to glare at Starscream. Dashing forward, she grabbed him by his shoulder and pulled him close, holding her other hand close to his neck. She growled at Starscream, causing the flyer to speak at the action and her glare.
"WHAT WAS THAT," Mega Power screeches into Starscream's face.
Starscream whimpered, covering his head and leaned as far as he could away from the angry femme.
"Nothing. I said nothing," Starscream says.
Mega Power snorts, dropping Starscream to the ground. Soundwave, who was standing on the other side of Starscream, shook his head. Everyone would believe that Soundwave was just shaking his head due to the fact of Starscream's action, but since Mega Power knew him better than anyone else, she knew Soundwave was silently laughing at Starscream's predicament.
Nonetheless, Mega Power turned to the drones in the room gave then a hard look that made them cower again.
"Get out of my sight," Mega Power growls.
The drones didn't waste any time to run out of the room, wanting to get far away from Mega Power. Mega Power looked over at the other Decepticons that were still here. Taking in the silent order in her eyes, Soundwave walked to the door, nodding his head in a way Mega Power knew that he was telling her "See ya later".
Seeing Soundwave leave, the other Decepticons made for the door.
Mega Power shook her head, lifting a hand to her face to rub it. Hearing sharp laughter, Mega Power turned to look at Megatron, who got off his throne to look at her.
"Now you see what I deal with," Megatron said.
Mega Power snorts, "I see what you mean. The only thing good you have is that you have an army that listens to you, despite being fools."
Well, all but one Mega Power thinks to herself, a silent con coming to her mind.
Mega Power walked over to the controls and played with the buttons. When she was done, a live feed of drones practicing appeared on the screen. Mega Power shook her head, glaring at the screen before she smirked, tossing Megatron evil stare.
Mega Power-
N-n-name in the lights.
Living powerful, take a look at this giant army.
Mega Power lifted a hand to gesture to the drones on the screen.
Megatron-
And they're gathering.
And we're climbing to the top of this planet.
Nobody can stop us!
Megatron smirked, tossing a glance behind him to look at his throne before looking back at Mega Power. Megatron watched as Mega Power walked over to the throne, sitting down on it.
Mega Power-
Oh, oh, oh!
If having everything that I want is wrong, I don't wanna be right!
Oh, oh, oh!
Smiling, Mega Power put her finger on her chin, before she pulls her finger away, shaking it along with her head.
Both-
Sitting high on my throne, in control!
This is some kind of life!
Megatron walked over and grabbed Mega Power, yanking her out of the throne. Mega Power glared at Megatron as she caught herself before she fell to the floor.
Mega Power-
Empire!
Empire!
Megatron-
Reign over everything!
Take over everything!
Mega Power raised her hands in cue with her singing. Megatron sat down on his throne, raising his hand and making it a fist.
Mega Power-
Empire!
Empire!
Both-
Reign over everything!
Take over everything!
Mega Power smiled at Megatron, who gestured for her to continue.
Mega Power-
Take over the world, you and I together!
Nobody can stop us, stop us!
Building our Empire!
Empire!
Mega Power pointed at Megatron, giving him an evil and sly smirk. Shaking her head, Mega Power walked up to leaned against the throne, resting her right foot on the armrest.
Megatron-
Reign over everything!
Take over everything!
Raising an eyebrow, Megatron pushes Mega Power's foot off the armrest, making the Decepticon femme smile at him.
Mega Power-
Empire, Empire.
Building us an Empire, yeah, yeah.
Empire, Empire.
Building us an Empire, yeah, yeah.
Megatron laughs darkly in the middle of it, causing Meg Power to give her own dark chuckle.
All I want is everything cause we're leaders and conquers.
Why pretend to be anything less?
I'm a destroyer.
Mega Power gestures between Megatron and her. Teasingly, Mega Power raises an eyebrow as she raises her arms in a shrug. She smiled at Megatron.
Megatron-
Don't be modest.
When we run this world, it's gonna be monstrous!
Megatron shakes his head, looking at Mega Power like she was thinking so small.
Mega Power-
Oh, oh, oh!
If having everything that I want is wrong, I don't wanna be right!
Oh, oh, oh!
Once again, Mega Power smiled and put her finger on her chin. Pulling her finger away, she shakes it along with her head.
Both-
Sitting high on my throne, in control!
This is some kind of life!
Singing together, Megatron cast a look behind him and the throne once again.
Mega Power-
Empire!
Empire!
Both-
Reign over everything!
Take over everything!
Empire!
Empire!
Reign over everything!
Take over everything!
Mega Power walked around, moving to the words she and Megatron were singing.
Take over the world, you and I together!
Nobody can stop us, stop us!
Building our Empire!
Empire!
Turning sharply, Mega Power pointed to Megatron before gesturing to herself.
Reign over everything!
Take over everything!
Empire, Empire.
Building us an Empire, yeah, yeah.
Empire, Empire.
Building us an Empire, yeah, yeah.
Smirking, Mega Power gestured for Megatron to stop for just a second.
Mega Power-
We just want the power, the fear and the power.
Take it if we got a lot of.
Make the world cower.
We just want the power, the fear and the power.
Stepping on the cowards.
The whole world cowers.
Megatron laughed again as Mega Power walked over to the throne to stare out the window in the setting sun. Mega Power imagined the entire world of Earth and Cybertron bowing at her's and her Sire's feet.
Both-
Empire!
Empire!
Reign over everything!
Take over everything!
Empire!
Empire!
Reign over everything!
Take over everything!
Megatron got off his throne as Mega Power turned to walk to the door, Megatron following at her side. Mega Power raises her hands with the words.
Mega Power-
Take over the world, you and I together!
Nobody can stop us, stop us!
Building our Empire!
Empire!
Mega Power and Megatron stopped in front of the door, Mega Power opening the door and walking out, only to turn and look at Megatron with an evil smirk.
Megatron-
Reign over everything!
Take over everything!
Megatron placed his hands on his hips, smirking as he stared at Mega Power, who waved at him.
Mega Power-
Empire!
Mega Power shuts the door, turning sharply to walk down the hall.
Megatron chuckles and walks back to his throne, but instead of sitting in it like he always did, Megatron stands to the side to look behind it, smiling when he caught sight of what he was expecting to see.
There, a black staff with a red orb on it, the red orb having black mist swirl around it before vanishing.
Seeing that the staff was still there and song of greed and evil they sang powered it, Megatron turned to sit in his throne again, wanting to rest a bit before he had to plan the next attack.
After all, there was only much time left before Mega Power no longer had any use.
What Megatron didn't see, was a bird-like Decepticon in the vents. The mini-bot, Laserbeak, flew down the vent and to a room, where the vent was open and Soundwave was waiting for him.
Soundwave shut the vent as Laserbeak rested on his chest again. Soundwave sighed, knowing the idem he was looking for wasn't far out of reach, but also knew he couldn't get it without Megatron finding out.
He had to find another way.
Next Day At Theatre Class
"Ritardando, people! Ritardando! Slow Down! Don't talk all at once," the teacher exclaimed, her hand in the air as she tried calming everyone in the auditorium down.
Sunset, Adagio, Sonata, and Aria sat together, watching as everyone else quieted up. Sunset took notice that Sierra was here. Something about the teenage girl and the way she looked at Jack brought alarms to her head, so she decided to keep an ear out on her.
"Okay people. Please welcome our new students," the teacher says, gesturing to the Dazzling Sunsets.
Students mumbled their "Hi's" and their "Hey's" like any teenager would do.
"Now, you can just call me Melly. Today, we are gonna be singing, but we only have time for one or two people to sing," Melly says.
"Do we have to," a boy says.
Melly grumbles, staring at the boy with a pointed look, "Yes. And if you have a problem with it, then you are gonna sing next time. Now, who's gonna be the lucky person or people and come up to sing first?"
After a minute or two went by and no one got up, Aria groaned and grabbed Sonata's hand, pulling her up and to the stage. Sonata squeaked at the sudden movement, but caught her balance and started walking with Aria to the stage.
"Finally! Some volunteers! What song will you two be singing," Melly asked.
Aria and Sonata whispered to each other before looking at Melly.
"We shall be singing "The Girls Of The Night" from Jekyll & Hyde," Aria said.
"Really? I'm surprised," Melly said, shocked.
"What until you hear us sing," Sonata said, giggling behind her hand.
Aria and Sonata took their places on stage next to each other. Aria started humming the beginning music for the song before she opened her mouth and started singing.
Aria-
We're the pleasures of the nighttime that fade at dawn.
Selling treasures of the nighttime til night is gone.
And then when the party's over, everybody's gone away.
We stare at an empty day - what is there to do or say?
Aria sang slowly and beautifully, raising her hand to her blue gem. She then did a shooing motion with her hands, like she was telling someone to leave or someone had just left. Lifting her arms to a shrug, Aria closed her eyes.
Nighttime is where we live.
Night is when we give everything we have to give.
Most lovers can rejoice, we don't have a choice, we just know we have to give.
That's why the day can never be bright for the girls of the night.
Aria tilted her head back and forth with the words. She slowly dropped her arms only to slowly bring them close to hug herself. Shaking her head, Aria dropped her arms to rest them at her side, turning her head to look at Sonata.
Sonata-
Somehow I know there's a someday that's just for me.
Everybody has a someday - so why not me?!
Sonata looked at her left hand as she raised it up, turning the limb into a fist. She gestured to everyone watching before bringing her hands to her chest, tilting her head up as she sang a loud note.
Aria-
Lucy, do you really need to, fill your heart with empty dreams?
You'll always be what you are - stop chasing that distant star!
Aria shook her head, stepping forward to take Sonata by the shoulder, making Sonata drop her arms to move along. Aria pointed her index finger at Sonata like she was scolding her, shaking her head.
Both-
Nighttime is where we live.
Night is when we give everything we have to give!
Most lovers can rejoice, we don't have a choice, we just know we have to give!
That's why the day can never be bright for the girls of the night!
Aria released Sonata, allowing the two to stand next to each other. As one, they tilted their head back and forth. They slowly dropped their arms only to slowly bring them close to hug themselves. Dropping her arms, Sonata turned her back to Aria.
Sonata-
Fly away, fly away, let me find my wings!
Let me be the girl I want to be!
Sonata raised her hands up like she was trying to fly. Sonata smiled big as she turned to look back at Aria.
Aria-
I'm afraid to fly away, for all I have is here.
Aria gave her best-lost expression.
Sonata-
I have my hopes!
Sonata places a hand on her chest, above her heart.
Aria-
I have a child, and children must be fed!
Forget your hopes, or you will be misled!
With the dawn, they disappear!
Aria steps forward, pointing to herself. She then turns her finger on Sonata, giving her a look. Aria shakes her head at Sonata.
Sonata-
Then why are mine still here?!
Aria-
(Fly away, fly away, fly away!)
Sonata gestures to herself, singing a loud note. Aria raises her arms up like she was reaching for the sky.
Both-
Ask me to share your fantasies, dear, but don't ask me where tomorrow is!
Don't ask me where to find happiness, though I know for sure where sorrow is!
The two walked around the stage. Shaking their heads, Aria and Sonata stopped in the center of the stage, looking at students watching them. Sonata and Aria pointed at their audience before turning to each other.
Aria-
Sorrow is where the dark meets the light!
Aria and Sonata grabbed each other's hands, Sonata bowing her head.
Sonata-
Someday I pray my fears will take flight!
Sonata let go one hand to reach up like she was reaching for something that was leaving.
Both-
Sorrow is where all hope fades from sight for the girls of the night.
We're the girls of the night.
Just the girls of the night.
Aria wrapped an arm Sonata's shoulders. Slowly, the two finished the slow ending of the song.
The students clapped, amazed about what they witnessed. Melly had her eyes opened wide, having on heard the true passion Aria and Sonata had in their song.
"That was terrific girls! A true passion for singing, ladies! I can't wait to hear even more from you," Melly exclaims, clapping and smiling.
Sunset and Adagio laugh, shaking their heads as they got up. Gesturing for Sonata and Aria that it was their turn, Sunset and Adagio walked up onto the stage. Knowing what they were gonna do, Sonata and Aria smiled and sat down.
"They are good, we are a band, after all, the Dazzling Sunsets," Sunset comments.
"Now see what we can do just like them," Adagio winks.
Some boys swooned at Adagio's wink, making her groan silently. Sunset, Aria, and Sonata silently laughed. But that was soon stopped when Sunset and Adagio took a deep breath, cleared their throats, and opened their mouths, beginning to sing their song.
Sunset-
Like an ancient story, full of death and glory.
Remember who we are.
With our eyes wide open and the doors all closing.
Surrender to your heart, remember who we are.
Sunset put her hands together and opened them like opened a book. Raising her head, Sunset tapped her head. Sunset cupped her hands around her eyes before dropping them, moving her right hand like she was slamming a door shut. Sunset moved her hands to her chest, right over her heart.
Running down the halls, we're writing on the walls.
We never letting go.
Sunset ran around the stage before stopping where she stood before, her thumb and pointer finger pressed together as she moved it in the air in front of her like she was writing something. Sunset dropped her head and her arm.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Smiling, Sunset raised her head again.
Let my eyes be the rhythm!
Let my mind be your freedom!
You can take it all, you can take it all!
Let my heart be your shelter!
Sunset moved her hands like she was doing a beat. Raising her hand, Sunset touched her head. Moving her hands, she had her hands make a shooing motion like she was telling someone to take something. Sunset had her hands make a heart.
Let these bones be the giver!
Let this soul be your whisper!
You can take it all, you can take it all!
Let my heart be your shelter!
Tossing her hands out, Sunset smiled at the students. Sunset tapped her mouth. Moving her hands, she made a shooing motion like she was telling someone to take something. Sunset had her hands make a heart.
Ohhhh!
Nodding, Sunset drops her hands.
Adagio-
In a house on fire, now we're climbing higher.
Escaping in the dark, remember who we are.
And the roof is caving, but I'll hide you safely.
I'll hold you in my arms, remember who we are.
With her fingers, Adagio made a house before making an explosion with her fist. Raising her head, Adagio tapped her head. Adagio raised her hands above her head in a triangle and brought them down fast, splitting them apart. Adagio moved her arms to hug herself, turning herself slide-to-side slightly.
Running down the halls, we're writing on the walls.
We never letting go.
Like Sunset, Adagio ran around the stage before stopping where she stood before, her thumb and pointer finger pressed together as she moved it in the air in front of her like she was writing something. Adagio dropped her head and her arm.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Smiling, Adagio raised her head again.
Let my eyes be the rhythm!
Let my mind be your freedom!
You can take it all, you can take it all!
Let my heart be your shelter!
Adagio moved her hands like she was doing a beat. Raising her hand, Adagio touched her head. Moving her hands, she had her hands make a shooing motion like she was telling someone to take something. Adagio had her hands make a heart.
Let these bones be the giver!
Let this soul be your whisper!
You can take it all, you can take it all!
Let my heart be your shelter!
Tossing her hands out, Adagio smiled at the students. She tapped her mouth. Moving her hands, she made a shooing motion like she was telling someone to take something. Adagio had her hands make a heart.
Ohhhhhhhhh!
Nodding, Adagio drops her hands and looked at Sunset, who smiled back at her.
Both-
Running down the halls, we're writing on the walls.
We never letting go.
Sunset and Adagio ran around the stage in opposite directions before they went back to where they stood before. They put their thumbs and pointer fingers pressed together as she moved it in the air in front of her like she was writing something. They dropped their arms.
Let my eyes be the rhythm!
Let my mind be your freedom!
You can take it all, you can take it all!
Let my heart be your shelter!
Let these bones be the giver!
Let this soul be your whisper!
You can take it all, you can take it all!
Let my heart be your shelter!
The two girls moved their hands like she was doing a beat. Raising their hands, the girls touched their head. Moving their hands, the two had her hands make a shooing motion like they were telling someone to take something away. Sunset and Adagio had made their hands make a heart.
Tossing their hands out, Sunset and Adagio smiled at the students. They tapped their mouths. Moving their hands, the two had her hands make a shooing motion like they were telling someone to take something away again. Sunset and Adagio had made their hands make a heart.
Let my eyes be the rhythm!
Let my mind be your freedom!
(Ohhhhhhhhh!)
Let my heart be your shelter!
Let these bones be the giver!
Let this soul be your whisper!
(Oooo-Ohhhhhhhhh!)
Let my heart be your shelter!
The two girls moved their hands like she was doing a beat. Raising their hands, the girls touched their head. Sunset and Adagio had made their hands make a heart.
Tossing their hands out, Sunset and Adagio smiled at the students. They tapped their mouths. Sunset and Adagio had made their hands make a heart before dropping their hands.
Oooh!
La la la la!
Oooh!
Sunset and Adagio finished the ending of the song, bringing their hands together before raising them up in the air.
Everyone clapped, excited about the song.
"Wonderful! Just wonderful! You four girls are great! I can't wait to hear you sing again," Melly exclaimed.
The bell rung, signaling next class. As Sunset, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata walked to their next class, they knew that coming here was a good choice, between meeting the Autobots and becoming a techno-organic pretender.
This was their new life and they enjoyed it.
Me: Glad to be back in this chapter!
Hope you like it!
See ya in the next chapter!
