My Tooth Fairy
Allie
Hello fellow readers, thought I'd start off the new year with another chapter! I was conflicted with what to do for Kili and honestly this was the best I could get out for her. Enjoy!
Hands down this was the worst week of her entire human life. Not only had she been living and surviving on her own in this forgotten planet, but she's had to escape past numerous Decepticon fleets that almost blew her to pieces with their highly explosive weapons. Not only those things, but she hadn't been out of her armor suit for six days and she was starting to think that dying outside was better than smelling her unwashed and sweating self on the inside.
Coughing, Kili fell to her knees and double over. She could feel the dried food she'd eaten working their way back up her esophagus and it took all her strength to swallow it back down without actually throwing up by the feeling that overwhelmed her. When her strength started to come back, she was hesitant to stand, her legs shaky underneath all the metal and her muscles burning from lack of rest in forty-eight hours.
Taking in a deep breath, she pressed her hands onto the ground and pushed herself onto her feet. Kili's body stayed in place for almost a minute, her mind trying to figure out what was going on. It was almost like a switch in her brain clicked off every time she went into a coughing fit and she'd come back to reality confused.
"C'mon girl, get it together!" She knocked her palm against the side of her helmet and shook her head. "Stop going into lala land and get your freakin' head in the game." Kili took in a sharp breath and clenched her eyes shut when her head was overwhelmed with a headache. Her mind recollected the past weeks events and there was a long uneven sigh as she began walking down the charred pathway.
Her armor made a clatter, clatter sound as her feet collided with the surface of Cybertron. It was like an arrhythmic song that constantly played in her ears, never ceasing even when she stopped walking. Kili's eyes wandered around the barren planet that sprawled out before her. Metal stuck up like hundred foot waves and threatened to fall down on her with a thunderous crash of sparks and rust. Light blared down on the planet, but it was no match for the luminescence that Cybertron let off on its own. It was as if the ground itself was emanating its own light.
"You, human, stop." Kili paused in her quest and turned costive on her heel toward the voice and slowly peered up at the red mech before her. He had no guns pointed her way, but instead two arm blades and a glare.
He heart caught in her throat at the sight of his Autobot symbol and she instantly knew that he was under the control of Megatron.
"You are in violation of code four-six-nine-five, you have not been given permission to be in this sector of Cybertron. I must report you to Megatron immediately," His servo changed into a cannon and he pointed at her. "Or I can just annihilate you."
Kili raised her arms in surrender. "Uhhh, I'm good with the annihilation. J-just turn me in, I surrender." She laughed hesitantly and watched his mind control device sway back and forth behind him. It was less advanced than Optimus's and she could tell that one sever would permanently cut him off from the Decepticons control. "Just grab me and take me to your leader." He raised in optic ridge at her willingness to come, but none the less snatched her up into his servo and held her tightly enough that she heard a disheartening pop. "Nice. . . Grip." She coughed a little at his strength he had on her. "Could you possibly, kind of, you know. . . Loosen up." She could feel the pressure coming down on her lungs and anxiety began to wash over when she could feel her suit being crushed under the Autobot's grip.
"You are in violation of code four-six-nine-five, there i-"
"Just. Let. Go!" She jammed a shard of metal under his exterior and sliced through his cables. Adrenaline pulsed through her body when his fingers released her and she fell. Kili gripped onto his last finger and wrapped her arms around it, her legs dangling free. She gulped and breathed deeply through her nose, telling her heart to stop hammering in her chest. The mech let out a loud howl of pain before reaching his other servo over and trying to de-lodge the object.
Kili grunted from her chest as she raised herself higher and used his other fingers to hoist herself onto his arm. It was one of the scariest experiences she'd had ever had, but just like her sports back home, she wouldn't let that deter her. Kili took baby steps up the mechs arm and at times found herself having to crawl, especially when she reached his upper arm that was angled to a sharp degree.
"C'mon you darned Autobot, stay still!" She gripped her hands around a plate of metal and held tight as he began to jerk his arm about trying to get the shard of metal out of his wiring. She'd dug it in deep, and she was thankful she'd listened to Ratchet when he was droning on during his self-defense speech.
The jutted movements stopped and Kili began moving again; grab metal, move up, grab metal, move up, grab metal, move up. She couldn't lie when she said that her arms burned like they were pressed against a hot stove when she finally made her way to the top.
"Alright," She spoke quietly to herself. "Now let's get you back to yourself." Kili fell onto her knees when the Autobot stepped back. Her heart leapt to her throat when her bodyweight began leaning forwards and the ground became farther away in perception. Digging her suits sharp fingertips into his exterior, she pushed her body back into a stabilized position and closed her eyes.
"Okay, you're fine, you're perfectly fine." She took in the deepest breath she could before scooting sideways toward his neck cables. It was slow and tedious, but surely enough she made it close enough to his mind control device that she could begin severing the connection. Nodding once, she pressed her knife to the cable and began shoving it back and forth.
"WRAAAAA!" The painful cry from the Autobot sent a shiver up her spine, but she didn't hesitate. It was understandable that the process pained him, after all the device was connected to part of his CPU. "GET OFF OF ME!" His servo smacked at her and Kili froze completely when she was thrown off his shoulder. Her hand had thankfully held tighter to the cable, keeping her from imminent death, and as well she was kept from harms way when the Autobot began thrashing around and flailing his arms her way.
"I'm almost done, okay!" Kili cut faster and felt as the cable made a pop, pop, pop underneath her grip. Slime oozed from it and she forced her stomach to hold her food down again. "Just. . . Ooooone mooooreee." The knife flew out of her hand when it finally severed the connection and she listened to the clatter it made against Cybertrons metal surface. Her body hung from the top half her hands holding tight. The bottom half of the device lost it's grip against the Autobots back and it fell fast to the ground.
The Autobot stopped his movement and she was afraid that her work had been all for nothing; then just as she embraced for a smacking, the Autobot stiffened and fell towards the ground. She pressed her feet against his back and got ready for impact. When he hit there was a loud thunderous sound and then the vibrations of his whole body smacking against metal. Her body hadn't gotten the brunt of anything, but she knew that once the Autobot awoke, he'd be in a very disapproving state.
Kili watched intently as the red Autobot groaned and reached an arm toward his head.
"What? What happened?" He raised his head absently and looked around the barren place. Kili hadn't - of course - been able to move him, so she'd found herself a small hiding place and stayed there until he awoke.
She kept in her small dark place and said, "You were under Megatrons control." She scraped her knife against a metal pipe and gritted her teeth, why the heck did she just do that?
"Who's there, I demand you show yourself!?" Kili stood up, threw the pipe to the side, set her knife away and walked out.
"Who's here is the girl who saved your life." His blue optics darkened when he saw her and she let out an inaudible squeak when his weapons fired up.
"I remember you, you filthy Decepticon pretender!" He shot at her and she jumped to the side, watching as smoke and ash rose from the ground where he shot. "You're the one who put me in that state, I'm going to kill you." His voice grew low and she gulped, slightly wishing she knew what he was talking about and that she'd found a different Autobot.
He shot again and she leapt forward. "I'm not a Decepticon! I swear!"
"Then how come I don't believe you?" He went to fire again and she glared back at him.
"How do you even know who I am!? You can't see me!"
He growled deeply, "I'd know that voice anywhere." She crossed her arms and tilt her hip to one side. His expression changed to confused and he let his tough demeanor slip. Moments passed before he rallied himself back into his strict position. "You seem to think I won't kill you."
"Because Optimus refuses the death of humans by Autobot hands."
"HA! You think that can save you when you aren't even human?"
"Scan me then, surely if I were not human something would show." He stood straighter and she waited. "So?" She asked with venom spilling from her mouth.
"There seems to be no signs or traces of inorganic matter in you. But pretenders are very good at covering up their inhuman identity."
"Screw you then, I guess there's no thanks for saving you from the Decepticon clutches. I could of let you just continue to kill off your friends, but no, I chose to help you." She made a short huff at him and turned on her heel. "See if I care if you become a mindless drone again." There was a whooshing sound before the mechs servo picked her up off the ground. "HEY! Let me go!" She struggled against his grip, more surprise than fear rushing though her.
"Tell me, human, where is the current autobot base located."
"I'd kill myself before telling you." Kili spat near him. "Reeeaaally?" She let out a long sigh once she realized that her saliva had hit against the inside of her helmet instead of the mechs servo. He snickered and she shot a glare his way.
The mech smirked. "I guess you aren't who I think you are." His grip loosened on the girl. "But I'm still keeping my optic on you, any treachery and I'll slice you in half." He showed his arm blade for emphasis.
"I'm still waiting for a thank you." She grumbled under her breath. The mech gave her a hard glare before setting her onto the ground and transforming. His passenger door swung open and Kili climbed inside. There was a still silence between the two, then Kili asked, "Care to take me to Kaon?"
"I can," He paused, a moment of awkward silence permeating the small space. "But first you need to be cleansed, you reek."
Thanks for reading! I know it wasn't too exciting, but I thought Kili needed somebot to be her allie on Cybertron. Her past week hasn't been much but wandering and running, so I didn't want to delve into the boringness of that. Anywho, if you could leave a review in the box below, that would be greatly appreciated, I love seeing what you all think of my story, it really makes my days(s); and I love knowing how I can better myself from constructive criticism!
I'll try to get the next chapter out A.S.A.P! Have a Happy New Year that's filled with Awesomeness!
