'Stinger and Cabrina communication'
"Epps communication"
In the hanger of what was left intact of the N.E.S.T base Optimus and the others were gathered with Lennox who had a webcam chat open with Epps who was located at a air base.
"So let me get this straight, our boys not only got whooped by a giant robot that we've fought twice already; but Sam is helping them as well?" asked Epps.
"That's what it looks like Epps." replied Lennox.
Epps sighed and rubbed his head in stress.
"We be gettin' in a whole mess of trouble now adays huh? sorry ya got hurt buddy."
"Rather be like this than dead." Lennox said smiling.
Optimus entered into the conversation.
"We have new allies now to begin our search and rescue."
"And who might that be?" asked Epps.
"A samurai-bot called Stinger and her human companion Cabrina."
Epps looked puzzled. He wasn't really updated on new members.
"Thing is Epps...the girl's speical." said Lennox.
"What you mean like with Sam and the symbols?"
Lennox rolled his eyes in hesitation.
"Nooo...more like...she has cybertronian powers."
Epps was quiet.
"...She has what now! ? you telling me that a little girl has powers like Optimus and the rest! ? man why haven't I been told this!"
Lennox became more hesitant trying to explain things.
"I was just told this too buddy."
"You always be gettin' stuff first dude! this blows! we could've used her back in Egypt!"
"We're still trying to figure out where and how she came to have her ablilities." said Optimus.
'I can anwser that'
It was Cabrina's voice. A second webcam window opened next to Epps showing the girl and Stinger.
"Whoa! How'd you get through this channel! ?" said Epps.
'Hacking your network was easy,oh and you should change you passcodes too.' said Stinger.
"What are you doing you two?" asked Optimus.
'Stinger told me where you were,from the look of things it didn't go so well.' replied Cabrina.
"We gave them a warm welcome." said Lennox.
"So Cabrina. What's your story?"
'That's what I want to talk about...how...how I got this.'
She revealed her arm with the stitches and purple skin. The group looked in shock.
"What is that?" asked Ironhide.
"It looks like something was surgical implanted." said Rachet.
'It's...it's..'
'Dark energon.' completed Stinger.
The autobots expressions turned to terror.
"By the allspark."
"I thought it was a myth."
"Whoawhoawhoa back up,dark energon?" asked Epps.
"Dark energon is a pure opposite of our energon. It is what creates misery and death. It has vast unpredictable power." stated Optimus.
'And it's been inside me for along time now.'
"How did you get it?" asked Optimus.
'When I was captive by the cons. One of them; Shockwave put it inside me' Cabrina replied.
"Shockwave?" Epps and Lennox said.
"Wonder how he obtained such energon. Probably kept it hidden." said Rachet.
"Whatever or whoever gave it to him he probably did the same thing to Sam." Bumblebee added.
'It'd probably be best if I started from the beginning.'
END.
