When Lydia was finally finished unpacking she looked around her room with a grin, it was perfect! She flopped onto her orange and white bed set, groaning in pleasure at the softness before pausing when she heard the little pitter patter of metallic feet on her floor.
She would know that sound anywhere and when she peeked open her eyes, something flash in her peripheral vision.
"Frenzy!" Lydia hissed as she searched the room. She knew she saw his red optics and body just a moment ago. "Frenzy?" She knealed next to her bed, peeking under it and spotting an RC Truck. "What the heck?"
Lydia pulled the truck out, observing it for a moment before setting it gently on her bed and resumed her search. After looking almost EVERY where in her room, she saw a crack in the closet.
"Thought you were cleaver hm?" She walked over to the closet and ripped it open. "GOT YA-AHHH!"
She was then tackled to the floor by the ever so excited Frenzy. "F-frenzy miss sister!" He glomped the poor girl, rubbing his helm in her stomach.
"Uh..." She groaned from the impact on the floor. "Frenzy what are you doing here?"
"Frenzy w-watching Sister! Cade's o-orders."
Lydia grumbled to herself. "Alright, alright."
"F-Frenzy looked e-everywhere! T-t-tired."
She grumbled once more before placing the strange RC truck in the closet, shutting the door, and flopping on her bed with Frenzy cuddled behind her. She'd give Barricade a scolding next time she saw him, but right now she was too tired.
...
...
...
"Hmhm I have awoken."
Lydia shifted in her sleep, eyebrows furrowed. The feeling of someone running their hands over her body made her practically squirm as her eye's flickered back and forth in her dream, skin shivering with goosbumps.
"Soon my love, we will be reunited."
She twitched once more before bolting out of bed, panting and not noticing the gleaming red eye's watching her from the ground.
"Just a dream." She murmured before looking at her clock. "Classes aren't for another hour."
She got up from her bed, leaving Frenzy in his re-charge before going into the showers and returning to the room in a towel, luckily she didn't run into anyone. As she opened her closet to grab something to wear she spotted something moving from the mirror she kept in her closet. Right from under her bed stepped an unknown mini bot, cautiously making his way towards the door.
"Frenzy intruder!" Lydia shouted as she bolted for the door.
"Scrap!" The little bot cursed as he began shouting more profanity's when Frenzy, who woke startled from his slumber, tackled the little con and the two began to fight.
Once Frenzy got the bot in a safe position, Lydia pulled out a wrench from her drawer and removed the bots eye.
"OW THAT FRIGGIN HURT!" The bot screeched.
"Who are you?!" She shouted, preparing to go after him again.
"W-whoa whoa! Easy there warrior godess."
Lydia blinked, warrior... godess?
"Who are you and what are you doing here?!"
"The names Wheelie, I mean no harm! The fallen demands the shard! I need that shard, gotta have the shard, gimme the shard!"
"The shard?" Lydia grumbled thinking to herself before growling at the bot. "Your not getting this shard." She hissed before looking around to see her toolbox. She quickly emptied it and Frenzy shoved Wheelie into it, both locking it shut tight and ignoring the shouts of the little drone.
"W-w-what we gunna d-d-do?"
Lydia frowned in thought before she got an idea. "You go tell Barricade about this." She held up the locked box before placing it under her bed. "I'm going to finish the day before I contact the Autobots."
Frenzy quickly made his way out the window, making a com call to Barricade, While Lydia quickly went to her class.
...
...
...
"Time! Space! Gravity!"
Lydia sat next to Leo, scowling at her teacher who had flirted with her the moment she walked in. Luckily Leo threw an arm around her pretending to be her boyfriend. She was happy that he did that for her, throwing the creepy teacher off her back. Now she watched him flirt with another student, taking bite out of an apple and giving it to her to finish. She groaned to herself, rolling her eyes as Leo chuckled at her annoyance.
The more she tried paying attention the more odd she felt. Her vision began to shake and her eyes frantically looked about the room, no one but her noticed the shaking. Letters began appearing all around, voices in her head shouting at her. She let out a hiss as a pounding pain entered her head, she didn't have enough room for this!
She felt her fingers skim through her textbook before her, eyes grazing every letter, word, and sentence. Her hearing going foggy, barely listening to Leo trying to get her attention as she slammed the book closed and raised her hand, much to the annoyance of the teacher.
He spoke, but no words reached her ears as she felt herself waltz up to the bored and began writing down her theories and some of the letters, words, in her head. As soon as she wrote some of the symbols town she felt some of the pressure disappear and she found herself back to normal, standing ever so awkwardly in front of the classroom.
"You. Leave."
She wasted no time in running off, hearing the teacher ask if anyone else wanted to have a breakdown. Her hands fumbled for her cellphone, flipping it open and half hazardously dialing Ratchet.
"Lydia?" Came his voice. "Is something wrong? Shouldn't you be in classes right now?"
"Ratchet! Listen, Listen, Something freaky is going on okay?"
"Where are you?"
Lydia's feet stumbled down some steps, tripping a bit before catching herself. "Listen some serious shits going on. No, no, no. Stop laughing."
"... I'm not laughi-"
"Remember about my great-great-grandfather, Archibald Witwicky? Remember?" She suddenly tripped, yelping as she dropped her things all over the floor and scrambled to pick it up without people stepping on it. "Watch it, watch it, watch... No! Okay, remember how- Can you stop? Watch the foot! What your foot! Ratchet, okay, my great-great-grandfather went on that Arctic mission yea? Right? Remember?"
"Lydia, you need to calm down, are you feeling well? I think you need a check up o-"
"-and he saw Megatron, and like Megatron zapped him and then Archibald started seeing these crazy symbols. Okay, yeah? Now I'm seeing them too."
"Lydia, tell me where you are. I'm coming over there right now. Something is seriousl-"
"Excuse me, I just read a nine hundred and three page astronomy book in thirty two point six seconds. I had a meltdown in the middle of my class and I've been seeing Symbols ever since last night when I dreamed of..."
"What? What did you dream about Lydia?"
"-Megatrons revival..."
"What?! So that is what they did with that shard! FRAG IT ALL! Lydia, Do not move, we are on our way... Lydia? Lydia!"
Her phone went dead and she stared at it mutely before rushing up to her room to grab Wheelie for questioning. She stormed into her room and suddenly she felt another wave of pressure in her head, she had to get it out... get it out! Quickly she grabbed a paintbrush she kept in her closet and dipped it in the paint, murmuring in another language as she wrote on the walls over and over and over again, not hearing the door opening as Leo, Miles and some blonde chick walked in.
"Dude.. What the heck?"
"Leao! Hey! Have you ever gotten a song stuck in your head? It's like the worst song ever, but you cant help but whistle it or sing it cause like, it just repeats itself, repeats itself, repeats itself, repeats itself, repeats itself, repeats itself? Kitten calendar, Kitten calendar, Kitten calendar, Kitten calendar, Kitten calendar, Kitten calendar." She picked up a stack of calendars and threw them about the room with symbols even on that.
"Uhm, Lydia?" Miles stepped up with a frowned.
"I know your freaking out. Don't freak out. Don't freak out. Easy fix! Puzzle code in my head, now o the walls. Everything is good! This is the part that- SHH SHHH SHH!" She paused, looking around wildly before freezing in terror at the blonde girl next to Leo. She then had a mini seizure before looking normal. "You were saying?"
"Alice, I'm horrified you had to see this." Leo grumbled. "Lets go-"
"Get out." She shoved him out the door with Leo yelling after her, begging to at least watch.
Lydia felt herself shoved against the wall, letting out a shriek.
"I always knew you were... special." Alice purred leaning in uncomfortably close.
"W-whoa hey wait!" She squeaked before she was thrown on the bed with Alice sliding over her, leaning her face close. "Hey! Hold up! I DON'T FLOW THAT WAY!"
Alice ignored her and planted her lips on Lydia's, the latter of the two feeling disgust run through her as a metallic tongue forced its self in. She felt warnings going off in her brain before the door was shoved open by Miles who stood by a gaping Leo.
"No wonder you keep turning me down." Miles whispered before his eye's widened when a tail came from under Alice's dress and she gave an inhumane roar.
"Take this!" Lydia shouted when she was able to reach the tool box Wheelie was in before smashing it into the robo chick.
Alice gave a roar before her skin and hair melted off, a decepticon symbol shone brightly on her body.
"Shit! RUN!" Miles shouted as he grabbed Lydia, both ignoring the sudden girly screaming of Leo as he ran with them.
"Alien robots! Got to move!"
"Is this real!?" Leo screamed before Miles scowled.
"No," He drawled sarcastically. "It's Scare tactics."
"Just flipping run!" Lydia shouted at them as they continued making a break for it down the hall with the destructive con chasing after them.
"O-Oh my god... Oh my god! I can't believe I almost had sex with her in my dreams!" Leo whined as he followed. The three made their way into the library, skidding behind some shelves.
"Well I can tell I was missed." Miles growled.
"Whats that supposed to mean?"
"You could of told me you were into women, I would of understand!"
"I'm not into women!"
"What do you call that back there?!"
"Uhm, her forcing herself onto me? I'm a victim!"
"Of what? A little eighty pound girl?" Miles rolled his eyes.
"O-of molestation! It was like getting humped int he neck by a mountain ox! You ever have your stomach tongued by said mountain ox with a five-foot tongue? It's not fun for me okay Miles? And it smelled like... like diesel! Like a Diesel-y tinge to it!"
Miles rolled his yet again.
"You know what I'm not talking to you for ten seconds."
"Real mature Lydia!"
"You have three more seconds!" She shouted before ignoring him more and then counting down. "What were you gunna say?"
"She violated your orifice with her nasty alien probe? She did it? She went in there? All her little embryo alien babies are gestating and hatching inside of you. They are growing right now! You need to vomit, vomit it up! YAK! YAK IT NOW!"
Lydia, disgusted with what happened and what Leo said, puked on the ground.
"Who the hell are you anyway?" Miles gave Leo the stink eye.
"Leonardo Ponce De Leon Spitz, Okay? I'm the key to this. The aliens, they want me cause of my site, whoa! Whoa! Over there!" Leo pointed as the wall exploded with Alice roaring in.
The trio made their way outside before Miles pulled them to a truck, Lydia stopping to pick up Wheelie and shouting at him to shut up. She hopped in next and flipped open the bottom panel under the steering wheel, hot wiring the car.
"Y-you know how to hot wire a car? T-that's so hot."
"Drive!" Miles shouted. "Drive! She's right there!"
Lydia looked up into the rear view mirror and saw Alice running at them, she quickly threw the vehicle into gear before tearing out of the parking lot. Alice jumped easily on to the car before her long tongue slithered through the windowsill.
"TONGUE! TONGUE!"
"KISS THIS BITCH!" Lydia snarled, driving into a pole and killing Alice. "Finally."
"Move, Move, Move." Leo patted her shoulder as she threw the vehicle in reverse, and then back into drive and out of the area. "What else don't I know? Since you guys forgot to mention some... MINOR DETAILS!"
"Guys?" Lydia blinked up at the Helicoptor coming for them. "Is it normal for helicoptors to fly that low?"
"No..."
"DECEPTICON!" Lydia tried swerving out of the way when a grappling hook slammed through the roof, causing the car to swerve and shoot up to the sky. Lydia screamed as she went flying out, grabbing onto the side of the car door as her feat dangled. Her gaze shifted down as she watched the ground grow smaller and smaller until she was dangling over water.
"Lydia! Hold on!" Miles screamed as he grabbed her and pulled, Leo was quick to help as they tried pulling her up.
She sent prayer after prayer not to fall, her heart hammering in her head as she trembled in fear.
"Hold on!" Leo shouted as her grip started loosening.
"P-Pull me up! Pull me up!"
"Get in! Get in!" Miles and Leo finally managed to pull her inside the car just as the Decepticon let go and they went crashing through a warehouse roof and into the ground.
Everyone coughed and sputtered, looking around to check if they were okay when the car was suddenly cut in half. The trio shouted in fear as Starscream peered down at them with a dark look, his lip plates set into a sneer. "Fah, Let's see." He spit next to the car, growling darkly.
"Oh my god, oh my god!" Leo whimpered.
"No." Starscream sneered, "Just me!" He laughed darkly before his optics landed on Lydia. "There you are."
Lydia scrambled out of the car, away from it and Starscream as her heart hammered in her chest. Deep down she felt a feeling not her own, sadness and disappointment aimed at Starcream.
Her twin brother in her past life...
She heard a voice within her murmuring sadly.
'brother... what have you become?'
"There you are."
Lydia's eyes widened before she whirled around to see Megatron standing, glaring down at her with a dark smirk. "Y-you."
"You remember me, don't you?" He chuckled.
"I, hold up! Don't hurt them." She stuttered.
"Shut up!" She felt his clawed hand strike her fragile body and she landed across the room onto a cement platform.
"Lydia!" Miles yelled as she and Leo watched in shock.
"Yessss." He cooed as he pinned her to the table with his digits. "It feels good to grab your flesh."
Her heart jumped in fear at the tone in his voice and she began pleading through that odd bond she had with her twins and Jazz.
'Dia! Hold on!'
'We's coming!'
'Dat fragger better not hurt yous!'
"I will kill you." He leaned his helm closer, relishing in her terror. "Slowly, painfully! But first, we have some delicate work to do."
"W-wait! Wait!" She squeaked as she tried to wiggle in his grasp.
"How easy it would be to snap your limbs off!" He gave a malicious laugh before turning his gaze to the side. "Doctor, examine the alien specimen."
A spider bot cam up, large red optics gleaming sadistically as he clambered up her body. She squirmed at the feeling of his sharp tiny feet and flinched when he leaned in to close, murmuring in Cybertronin and slicing her cheek.
Miles was almost in tears from his fear and Leo was about to shit himself from fear, especially when some worm like bot was flown in towards the two cons. Lydia cried and squirmed, trying to avoid the creature that was shoved at her and forced its way into her mouth, her gagging and sputtering.
"There they are." Megatron watched as images were projected into the air. He watched the letters appear and smirked. "These symbols will lead us to the engergon source."
He observed some more on one projection before he glanced at the other one for a brief moment and froze. In the projection on the side was an older version of him, but how could this human know what he looked like back then?! He continued watching, his eyes glued to the screen as he watched. These memories... An younger version of Starscream appeared, he was fighting beside her and shooting playful banter at both her and the younger him. The image shifted and she was in a battle against an Autobot in the Sea of rust, it switched again to him speaking to her. They were both fighting about a sparkling... their sparkling? Then She was running away with Ironhide, meeting an Autobot before being brutally murdered by her betrayer.
She then saw nothing but space as she traveled and then earth showed. She searched the planet until her eye's spotted a pregnant mother, she scanned her stomach and saw the fetus inside dying. She saw what the baby would have been, saw who she would be and decided that she would be the perfect one to gift.
She faded from life, giving her life to the now dead child and reviving her. Her memories locked away in the tiny form as they melded together and became one being.
Stargazer reborn into that of a human, a different task at hand, and a new life. She was no longer Stargazer, she was now Lydia Witwicky, a human of earth.
Megatron could only stare at the screen, vaguely hearing Starscreams sharp intakes of shock and the confusion of the other humans. His optics turned towards Lydia who was oblivious to what was going on as her face was scrunched in pain, body flailing and trying to get the creature out of her, her fists clenched.
"Ve must have zhe brain! On zhe table! Chop Chop!" The creature is finally dislodged from her causing her to cough and sputter for air, gagging.
"B-Brain?! What does he, WAIT!" She yelped as Scalple pulled up his saw.
"Vell, Zhou have something on zhour mind! Zomthing zhat we need!" Scalpal cackled.
"W-wait wait! Hold on, Okay I know your p-pissed ah! I know your pissed because I tried to kill you and t-that's completely understandable- NO WAIT! AHH! I-I mean if someone tried to ill me I'd be upset too." Her gaze shifted to the still staring Megatron. "We uh, have an opportunity here to start a new! A-and Develop our... relationship and see where it leads us okay?" She bit her lip and yelped as the spider bot got closer. "So you just c-call off your inspector doctor thing and lets talk for like five se- No no! Wait wai-!"
Megatron was about to release her and demand to know about her memories when the roof came crashing in upon its self, Optimus tearing in while Bumblebee crashed in after him, landing on Starscream.
"Come on!" Leo grabbed Miles before they ran across the platform.
"Lydia!" Optimus shouted.
She rolled off the table, wincing as she dodged a pede or two and Watched as Optimus punched a roaring Megatron away and Bumblebee tackle Starscream who was shouting at him. Optimus quickly picked Lydia up and ran out the door, transforming around her.
"Here he comes!" She shouted as she gripped at his seats.
As they drove off into some woods of sorts Optimus transformed just in time to avoid Megatrons shots. "Hide!" He demanded her before punching his enemy in the face. He was then tackled by Megatron before angrily picking up a tree. "Weak!" HE slammed Megatron with it, the cons landing on the trees Lydia was behind before she ran somewhere else. "Puny!" Optimus activated his sword, stabbing Megatron in the back like Megatron did him so long ago. "Waste. Of. Metal." He hit Megatron once more, taking him down and stabbing his shoulder as Lydia kept dodging the debris thrown her way.
"Decepticons!" Megatron shouted, he was losing and had to call for back up. A huge con flew in with Starsceam, shooting at Optimus while Starscream was coming after Lydia. She heard the screams of metal hitting metal, gunshots, and grunting coming from the three fighting bots as she turned tail and ran from Starscream. She was able to dodge him grabbing her and ran off from his sight, flipping over a tree limb and hiding under it, out of sight.
"Come out Stargazer!"
She widened her eyes at that.
"Yes, I know you are her reborn. Your memories showed it all! Lord Megatron may not believe it yet, but I know! I feel it!"
She held her mouth closed as a deep desire to confront him tried to rise. She growled to herself, No! Stargazer was no more! This was her body now, and right now they were the enemy.
"Sister."
She felt a tear roll down before she shook her head at her foolishness. "I am not your sister!" She shouted, Starscrem found her and was staring at her with an unreadable expression. "She died long ago."
"You are wrong." He said, stepping closer. "She lives within you." He barely touched where her heart was with his metal finger. "And I will find a way to bring her back even if that means forcing you to come with me."
"They will kill me! Then what? Your chance at having your twin back will be gone."
Starscream gave a cold laugh. "My bond with her will never die! I can feel her as we speak! The closer you are to me the more the bond is opened. Of course your fleshy form cannot feel it."
"Do you care for nothing but yourself!" She shouted at him, fear rising. She would die if they wanted to bring Stargazer back to life.
"I cared for one, and she was take from me." He hissed in hatred. "I will never be the same again."
"Lydia!?"
Her head whipped around to see Optimus looking for her and spying her near Starscream. Before he could make his move Megatron shot a fatal blow, sending him flying over near her and Starscream growled before running back to safety.
"Optimus!"
"Is the future of our race not worth a couple of human lives?"
"You'll never stop at one! I will take you all one!" Optimus roars as he gets up, fighting with a new vigor and landed on the flying con from before, ripping its face in two. "Piece of tin." He spat before tossing the body down. "Lydia? Where are you?"
"Optimus!" She stepped out in horror. "Behind you!"
It was to late as Megatron stabbed Optimus through the spark. "You are weak!" Megatron shoutes before blasting him in the chest and throwing him forward.
Lydia watched in horror as Optimus fell in slow motion, her body felt as if ice was dumped upon her as shock rose. She ran to Optimus's helm. "No! No, no! Boss bot?" She whispered in worry, placing her hand on the used to be warm metal of his face.
The warmth was fading as his optics flickered and voice filled with static. "R-Run Lyida. Ru-" His optics shut down and the life left his spark.
"No, no! Optimus! Come back!" She pleaded, patting his cheek. Tears began streaming down as her heart pounded painfully, the sound around her was nothing but painful roaring noises as a ringing began to sound, getting louder and louder.
"Optimus." She cried, laying her head against his cheek.
Megatron watched and was about to grab her when engines were heard roaring closer. He snarled in anger before ordering Starscream to retreat. The two glared at the arriving Autobots, Ironhide roaring in fury as he shot cannon fire after cannon fire. The two cons retreated into the woods, Megatron laughing all the while.
He finally did it, he finally destroyed Optimus Prime!
