Sorry for the long wait. Fraggin' schoolwork is killing me.
Chapter 37
Primus
When Miranda woke up, she was in the foggy place again. She had just remembered everything, and she was still recovering from the shock, mainly from the fact that MIETTE was her cousin. She heard voices murmur:
"The child of Bloodlust and Malicia is back..."
Miranda got up, she stumbled, and fell. She kept falling, through the fog, through the ground...The world became black. Again.
"Wake up, Miranda!" yelled a voice. Oliver's. Miranda stumbled up. She rubbed her eyes to clear them. She clambered up by holding onto the arm that supported her.
"Urrggghhh...what..." Miranda trailed off as she saw where she was. She was in an army base, a huge one, to be exact. It looked as if it hadn't been properly constructed, as parts of it were still incomplete. She saw 4 people standing around her. Oliver, Ace, Ira and Beatrice.
"Hah. The girl's up. What did that Decepticon punk do to her?" Miranda almost gasped. How did he know about the Decepticons?!
"We owe you a great deal, Miranda." said Ira.
"So you remember." said Miranda.
"Yes. You helped us regain our memories. Bee here had told me all about the note and the Shard."
"Ironhide, is it?" asked Miranda .
"Yes." answered Ironhide. "So you are Miranda Primus?"
"Well..." Miranda began. She decided to tell the truth behind her name."I am Miranda. But my last name is not Primus. Not anymore."
"What do you mean?" asked Oliver.
"Well...I remembered my actual name. When I grabbed Matrix of..."
"Leadership." completed Optimus.
"I remembered my past. My name is Miranda Baikalaqua."
"Bai..."
"Ka..."
"Laqua?!"
Miranda was puzzled. "What?"
"No! It can't be! You are..."
"What? Related to the town's ditz? Stranger things have happened." Miranda really hated the fact she was related to her. Why her, of all people?!
"Was your mother called Taquia Baikalaqua?" asked Optimus.
"Yeah...How did you know?"
"She was a NEST agent. She worked with us."
"What? She never told me! And..." Miranda was surprised. Not just because of her mother's secret, but she had been...
"I think she'd have wanted you to have this." Optimus handed a CD to Miranda. The disk had been written on.
To: Miranda
Message from Mom
Give to Miranda when she is 15 if I am MIA or KIA.
Miranda stuck the CD into a CD player.
"Your mother was amazing...She could kill a 'Con just by getting under its armour...literally.
