Hi everyone, sorry it took so long to update, well my life has turned into a roller coaster and by the time I can get a break it will, probably be, more to the middle of the year. Anyway, here's the next chapter of Transformers Prime – Shadow Hunters. Oh… before I forget, please leave a review when you finish reading the chapter, it will help keeping the story alive :).
I don't own Transformers Prime, only my OCs
Tyra POV:
It has been a week now since Cole and Sasha went searching for the other Shadow hunters and I didn't stay still waiting for something to happen; Optimus thought it would be better for me if I went to school with the others, to learn more about humans and Earth. At first, I refused but then Arcee asked me and I agree with the idea, the first thing I did was to beat the crap out of the local bully, a guy called Vince.
He was bullying Raf and that annoyed me, so I give him a few punches and kicked him into an open locker, my luck: after that, he punched me and the director saw him punching me, so he went to the detention and his parents were called in to lecture him. I still have my Renverian powers so I used them to make myself look older, same age as Jack, since I already knew a few things, thanks to general Victor, he's a kind general even if I and the other Renverians are nothing more than genetic modified clones, he treat us like we are normal people.
Right now, I was with them at the mess room and we were talking about last lesson since Jack and I were going to do a test on the next class; somehow Miko convinced us to relax a little and enjoy the break. so we started talking about the Autobots, how they were brave and kind at the same time, how they were serious in battle and kind with us ( Specially Arcee with me) and I started remembering General Victor and how he was like the Autobots in so many ways
"General Victor is kind like-" I accidentally said and covered my mouth so someone couldn't hear, but she heard
"Who's Victor? " Miko asked me and when she saw me covering my mouth, she smirked "is he… someone who you have a crush on too?" she said teasing me
"Miko, quiet, we're not at the base to be talking about this" I whispered
"So~… you got a crush on two boys, hum?" she said grinning deviously, I already didn't like that "who is this Victor? Is he like you? Is he strong or is he intelligent? Is he a fighter or is he a commander type of guy? Have you two already kissed each other-" while she was bombarding me with questions Jack grabbed her by her hair making she give a little groan of pain
"Will you stop now, Miko?" Jack said as he released Miko's hair earning from her an angry face, then he looked to me and leaned a little toward me "but I'm curious as well" he said seriously "after the classes are over we'll talk about this at the base, got it?" he asked me and I could only nod then he resumed eating his lunch
No one said anything after that, when the break was over everyone went back to their own classes, Jack was nervous with exam but managed to calm him down a little; but I was a bit nervous as well the difference was that I was concerned about another thing.
When we were at the exit, I took a different path, going around the school to the other side of the building, where I met someone, a teenager, looking seventeen, wearing light blue jeans pants, a white T-shirt and a jacket matching his jeans pants, he had a short spiky brown hair and dark blue-green eyes.
"General Victor MacAlister" I saluted my General "Caruoi Rapirier, reporting"
"… Rest soldier…" he said calmly but firmly "have you found anything that could be useful for the Master?"
I hesitated "sir… nothing too much important but discovered something that might be of The Master's interest"
"What is it?"
"It is a device they call 'the Groundbridge', it's a device that can teleport them to any location of the world"
"Hum…" he went to a deep thoughtful state "anything else, it doesn't matter if it is something like a simple dislike towards humans"
"Their leader established rules towards contact with humans or showing themselves. They only are around humans in their disguised forms and only are in contact with those three humans because of their safety, since they saw them and now are targets to the Autobots enemies: the 'Decepticons'. They are always searching for a thing called 'Energon', which is their blood, fuel for their disguise and ammunition for their weapons' I said everything I could get a grasp on recently
"Anything else?" he asked thoughtfully
"No sir"
"Very well, you are dismissed and return to their base, keep your disguise and discover whatever else the Master might need or want to know, understood?"
"Sir, yes sir!" I said and went running to catch up with the others on the exit, then we went back to the base, I know I'm doing my job but why do I keep having this aching in my chest? Is that because I'm getting attached to this place? To these people?... What's happening to me, I never felt like that before….
Third-person POV: Omega Base
Optimus went on a recon mission to find more energon and Ratchet was working on the base's terminal, when he discovered something inside the terminal systems
"Hum… what is that?" Ratchet thought aloud
Just as he was about to investigate what was it, he heard the others approaching in their vehicle forms
'I better see this later there's no guarantee it would be something good' he thought and hid his discovery and went back into his previous work.
Everyone went out of their respective guardians' alter mode (in Tyra's case she insisted in going with Arcee), allowing them to turn back into their natural robot form, Jack and the others went to the living area, Jack to study for his next exam while Miko and Raf went to play some games and Tyra went to talk with Ratchet. Unbelievably when Ratchet saw Tyra holding some books, he smiled and chuckled a little
"Well, where did we stopped last time?" he said happily
"Last time was-" before Tyra could say another word, Bulkhead yelled cheering for Miko
"Yes! That's my girl, you got him Miko!"
"Oh Yeah! Who's next?" Miko challenged the others
"Could you please be a little quieter Miko, I need to study!" Jack stated with an angry face
"Dude, let me have my fun" Miko said bitterly, then she saw Tyra talking to Ratchet, both were smiling and laughing a little "no way…"
"What is it Miko?" Raf asked turning to see what she saw "Ratchet?" Raf called "were you laughing?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing to see what Raf said, both Ratchet and Tyra were talking and were laughing, which surprised everyone since Ratchet was always with a serious face and rarely laugh.
"Ratchet, were you really laughing?" Miko asked
"*sigh*… yes, why? Is there something wrong with that and why are you all looking to me like that?" Ratchet said a bit discomforted with the way everyone was looking to him
"Well… you are always serious and reserved, it's a surprise to see you talking to someone and laughing too" Raf answered
"well, I admit that most of my time I keep focused on my job, but that doesn't mean I don't like to talk or hear something funny, by the way, Tyra" he said "we should go to your lesson, who knows when-"
"HOLD ON A SECOND! RATCHET IS TEACHING TYRA SOMETHING?" Miko said, no yelled, while placing her hands on her head remembering what happened last time Ratchet was teaching someone something
Everyone started saying at the same time what happened last time, but no one was saying the same thing so, neither Tyra nor Ratchet got a glimpse of what everyone was saying
"Guys!" Tyra yelled, making everyone stop "Could you say, whatever you want to tell me, one at time?"
"Tyra, last time Ratchet 'helped' us with school work, we were ridiculed, thanks to his help, so whatever you need help learning, don't ask him" Miko said with a somewhat serious and panicked face
Miko's words didn't pleased Ratchet, but then Tyra started laughing, leaving everyone confuse
"Miko… ha ha ha… I didn't asked Ratchet to teach me something I can learn at school, I asked him to teach me how to treat an injured Autobot" Tyra's answer caught everyone by surprise, Bulkhead's jaw dropped and both Bumblebee and Arcee wide their optics in surprise, as for Jack and others, they were too stunned to do anything to show their surprise
"I have shown the same reaction, like you all, when she first asked me this. I didn't trust her enough to teach her something for real, but she ended up doing better than I expected, so I started teaching her for real the last two days." Rate said and gestured to Tyra so they could begin the next lesson
"Wait, Tyra, I almost forgot. Who's Victor?" Jack asked, remembering the subject "you talked about him, but who is he?"
Tyra hesitated, not wanting to tell anyone about it, but just before she say something the base's terminal received a distress signal from Optimus
"This *static* Prime, I *static* reinforcement *static*… the Decepticons… *static* *explosion*… don't *static*…*blaster shot*" the message ended there and Optimus life signal disappeared, meaning that either his signal was jammed or…
Everyone was shocked, they didn't knew what just happened and were feeling an emptiness on their chests; Ratchet was the first to break the silence, by suddenly starting to input something on the terminal and pushing the groundbridge's lever, opening the green and blue vortex
"Wherever Optimus is he will need medical treatment and I'm not staying still here waiting for someone to help me getting him out of there" Ratchet said as he was getting one of his medical kits and going towards the portal
"Hold on Ratchet, you're not going alone" Tyra said getting next to him and looking determinate to help "will you need someone to help you fixing his wounds-"
"And a rescue team to get you out of there" Arcee said with Bumblebee standing at her side, saying the same thing
Ratchet looked to the team that have formed by itself and nod to them "Rafael, I need you to open the groundbridge when we give you the word of the mission, Jack keep an eye out on everyone's life signals and Miko… Keep us informed if you receive any new word from Optimus, Bulkhead you're coming with us" He gave everyone his instructions and transformed into his vehicle mode allowing Tyra to get in
Just as she was getting inside, she remembered something important "oh! Scrap!"
"What happened?" Jack asked
"My weapon was destroyed when I fought with Sasha and if the Decepticons grab me I'll be useless" Tyra explained with sadness in her voice
"Don't said that, we'll keep you safe and you will be of great help" Arcee said to lift Tyra's mood
"Tyra, head's up!" Miko yelled as she threw something to her
Tyra grabbed the object and she immediately recognized it as the weapon maker device Cole gave to Miko and the others
"But this your-"
"Oh come on! I'll be here inside the base so I wouldn't need it, you're going out there with the bots, so you can use it." Miko said leaving everyone surprised with how selfless she was acting "just go already, Optimus need your help, Go!"
With that the Autobots started transforming and advancing through the portal to save their leader
Somewhere in New York City's Alleyways
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" someone was tossed way
Two blonde haired boys, one kid and a teenager, were fighting a group of street gangsters; cornered against a wall with no escape route except for the one behind the gangsters
"Seriously, these guys doesn't have anything better to do?" the younger said
"Well, by the looks on their faces… no" the older one answered as he punched one of the gangsters that tried to attack him
Two gangsters charged against the young one with knifes at hand; the boy slid under the legs of one of them and kicked the other one in the groin, then he grabbed the previous one legs and threw him into the injured one. The older blonde boy charged against three of them; he bashed the first with his arm, the second was punched in the nose and the third received a roundhouse kick in the face. Two that were behind watching looked to each other and ran away as fast as they could, while the other six took their knives out and charged against the two blond boys. The older grabbed the first attacker's hand and kicked him in the stomach; the other two threw their knives in an attempt to distract the teenager. How fool their were, the teenager grabbed the knives and threw them back at the gangsters, hitting them on the shoulder; the young did the same he did with the two first attackers, but this time he jumped above them, kicking them in the head. When they looked again, the gangsters were all defeated and they have a clear path
"Well it took less time than we anticipated, right Cole?"
"Ya gotta admit, these losers are so boring, but we still need to find the others, Sasha" when Cole finished speaking, one of the downed gangsters started laughing
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, I guys are dead… the boss' gonna turn ya two into punching bags… ha ha ha ha ha ha"
"Whatever, let's go Sasha" Cole said emptily, but when they turn to the exit of the alleyway "…crap" they were surrounded again, this time by more gangsters
"Can't we just beat the crap out of them, like… for real this time?" Sasha asked Cole, but someone else answered
"No you can't" the voice's owner came from behind the gangsters and the voice looked awful familiar to the duo
'Please don't let it be him, Please don't let it be him, Please don't let it be him' Sasha was already saying mentally and Cole face palmed himself, already knowing who was the guy
The mysterious man came from behind the gangsters and stood in front of them, he was twenty-two, with short messy brown hair and light brown eyes, wearing a black coat. Immediately the duo recognized him and so did the man
"You've gotta be kidding me" the three spoke at the same time
"I…" Cole started saying
"Can't…" Sasha continued
"Believe it!" the man completed, and then added looking to Cole "I'm dead, right?"
"You can't stay out of trouble, can you?" Cole asked face palming himself
"Gabriel?" Sasha said looking to the gangsters behind him
"Guys, they are my friends" Gabriel said to the gangsters, shocking them
"They are you're friends boss?" one of them asked and Gabriel nod
"What we are going to do now?" Sasha asked
"I don't know, but first, you're coming with us, wanting or not" Cole said to Gabriel
Gabriel looked to the gangsters that were with him and he pointed to one of the calling him, when the gangster was close to him, he grabbed his hand and raised in the air saying
"For now on, James is the new leader of the skull crackers, anyone who's against it can leave the gang"
The skull crackers were shocked to hear that and before someone could say something, Gabriel continued
"I can't stay in the gang anymore, I found my old one, which I got separated from and James is the best option to take my place, so this is my goodbye to you guys, so… goodbye folks" Gabriel said and started opening his path through the gang members with Cole and Sasha right behind him.
When the trio were out of the alleyway, they disappeared in the middle of the people, going somewhere unknown
One POV: Cybertron, Iacon Hall of Records, Secret Passageway
Alpha Trion's ghost and I kept walking for some time, after we first meet and it seems that he knows about my ancestor and I, but why would he ask me for help, for I am Cerkraats descendent, the last of his progeny. When we arrived at the end of the passageway the wall in front of us opened itself showing a large room, we both entered it and I felt a chill running through my whole body… something was here, something… familiar… but what could it be-
"I know what you are thinking" Alpha Trion said suddenly with his back turned to me
"You… know…?" something is not right, there is something… odd in this place
"Yes… I know… Perhaps I could tell you why I requested your aid…" he said stroking his long beard
The odd feeling I was having was telling me that something was wrong… very wrong… I slowly but carefully took my battle stance, waiting for something to happens. When I thought he was going to attack me, I saw his robotic eyes and they were full of… concern…
"I request your aid, child of Cerkraats, for your ancestor once came to Cybertron and he left a strange and odd thing, which have influenced Cybertron's natural evolution, creating a race which…" he trailed off looking to me from my feet to my head "… I expected you would look similar to"
"What you mean?" I asked trying to get a glimpse of his words
"Your… actual appearance… it is most similar with mine than with your ancestor appearance"
I finally understood what he was saying; he was expecting me to look more like myself and not like a human
"Do not worry about it, I was changed into this form, but regardless that, what did my ancestor left behind in your world?" I asked and assured him "whatever it is I will destroy it and free your world from its influence"
"It is not necessary to destroy it" he said "I need your aid, to understand what it is and how it has influenced Cybertron's evolution… please, I b-"
"I will aid you; you do not need to beg"
Before he could say that he was begging for my help, I interrupted his, for he did not need to lower himself to request my aid, it was my mission to destroy all and anything my ancestor left behind and now I was already going to find one of his reliquaries… find… and destroy it.
Here is where we will stop, remember any and all ideas are welcome, if anyone wants to leave it, just place it in your review or PM me, I'm open to all ideas.
