Chapter 25
Iris happily ate her ice cream as Mudflap pulled up in an old warehouse. Iris climbed out and Mudflap transformed. Former Sector Seven Agent Seymour Simmons was already there, waiting for them. And he did not look pleased. "What's this? The world's in danger and you stopped for ice cream?" he demanded. "Gimme a break Simmons; it's my birthday," Iris snapped. She did not have the patience to deal with this jack-ass on the best of days, let alone today.
Simmons held up his hands in defeat. "Ok, fine, you don't want to take this seriously? That's cool, I can always warn your friends to be on high alert and not let you out of their sights..." Iris's eyes widened. "Don't you dare! I can handle this! There is no need for blackmail! Stop being so dramatic and tell me why you wanted to talk to me," she said, crossing her arms over her chest.
"That's better. Now, like we all know, for some crazy unknown reason, you've got these uncontrollable powers, right?" he began. Iris rolled her eyes and retorted, "Tell me something I don't know." "Ok, well, I did some research. Went through all the top secret files from long disbanded secret organizations and found out there were others before you." This shocked Iris and she was instantly paying attention. "Go on," she said slowly.
Simmons held up a file. "One file was on the study of mutants. Apparently, one such mutant was a girl named Valerie who had powers just like yours. She was pretty strong, too. Some psycho went around trying to experiment on her and other mutants and dug up some of the history on your powers. When this Valerie girl was under the influence of some medication, she started babbling about Egypt and Ireland. Celtic people, Egyptian gods and goddesses, real crazy talk. Anyway, there was talk of a power meant to save or destroy the world when the scientists visited some of the areas. It was said to always be reborn in another person. Usually a baby that was born at the same instant the former host died." Iris interrupted with, "What does this have to do with anything?"
"Let me finish, will you? There was this huge cave in Ireland, covered in hieroglyphs and Cybertronian symbols. No one could make heads or tails of the Cybertronian glyphs, but the hieroglyphs translated into something about a creature who could hold two powers to unlock a portal. The portal led to another dimension and if the portal was ever opened, creatures would come into our world, overrun the planet and eventually spread to take over the galaxy. The person with the power of...whatever you have, is supposedly the only one standing between us and utter chaos. There was a brief mention of "Kur powers" being the more destructive of the two needed to open the portal. And guess who wants to use those powers to destroy earth," Simmons concluded.
"Megatron. He knows all of this?" Iris asked with a gasp. Simmons shrugged. "I would assume so. The question is, who is this "key" that holds both powers?" "You little humans really are oblivious, aren't you?" The three spun towards the new voice. Megatron himself stood in the door of the warehouse, with his communications officer, Soundwave, behind him. "Shit," Iris swore, preparing for a fight that she had a feeling she wouldn't be able to win.
