My intern days are about to start so good luck to me. And before I forget, it's going to be two years since I have started this! Yey! Let us celebrate since I still haven't abandoned this. This is soooo taking me too long but then, it shouldn't have to be... If I did actually shorten this though, you all would think it is actually too rushed. I'll just corrupt the plot if I do that. *snickers*
And I am annoying as pit for actually twisting plots again... Yeah, you heard me! I twisted it again! Nothing seem to ever be the same as I write down and then type! Blame those stories I have been waiting for so long just to update! (.ToT).
Again, I do not own Transformers! Shein/Oen/Sheina is an OC of mine, though.
Chapter 55: Hiding
Sheina/Oen/Shein (whoever she was now) had managed to get away, breathing heavily and actually bruised-till bleeding on the left knee when she decided it was better to take the roof in getting away from the sudden onslaught of the foreign entity invading her space of emotions and privacy. It was as if someone was invading her mind and entire body but she couldn't say for sure since the feeling was deeper than the prodding that she receives from Soundwave.
At first, she had thought it was Soundwave…yeah. But the telepath wouldn't really go at such deep lengths as to suddenly give her a mental hug and comfort that affects every part of her own small non-squishy body as if it were really on physical terms. Heck! Every hair on her body stood thinking of that. She could not recognize who it is so the first thing she did was panic, forgetting for the moment what the Communications Officer taught her when having to deal with situations like this.
To the pit and back, her nightmare might have been gone and her body wasn't shaking as much, still, she feels very violated by what is happening. It felt both right and wrong but Soundwave always reminded her that any form of mind probing is bad because it can lead to not only some permanent damages but even a change that one would not like in a more deeper and frightening sense. For Primus sake, the mind probing was not the only thing she was very alarmed about but also the fact that she can feel a bond... a fragging string that she could pinpoint was coming from back where she had come from.
Learning from Hook about bonds, and the fact that she was now a half an organic, she just knows that this was currently messed up. She has a bond and that bond was with an Autobot… a dead Autobot! How in the pit did she suddenly have something like that? How is it possible for her to even suddenly wake up the dead? Oh, things got a little bit more complicated as if having an Autobot creator-creation bond wasn't enough. First things first, she didn't even have contact with the cube to have the ability to grasp its energy and materialize it in Jazz. The witwicky kid was the likely candidate since she hears stories from the others that he was had been the one to destroy it! It turned the kid into metal so... how unlikely was he not the one to do this?
Still... there is just too much missing pieces towards her logic so that reasoning is invalid. She is still likely the culprit!
Cursing herself and the things that were happening, Sheina (deciding that sticking to her old name would be better for now in her identity crisis) convinced herself that it was now time to take off and leave the sanctuary of the dead. There was nothing that she could do at this point and panicking wasn't going to actually solve her problem.
Calming herself down again as she junggle-swing herself out of the cavity of the Autobot, designation: Jazz, that was still at a unmoving state physically, she tried to remember what Soundwave told her when she was mentally being invaded by others. Closing off the pathway was hard but the Decepticon had warned her that it was going to be harder if it continues on and strengthens... She can't let that. Being an organic has its perks but for a mental intrusion, Soundwave had his doubts that there will be no repercussions when humans become acquainted with the presence of an unwanted entity inside their mental state.
An embalming presence that lingers would leave marks that would hone the brain to seek it out whether it was unwanted or wanted. The loss of it would have a blow may it be good or bad so stopping it from the root was the only way to not make her situation worse as it is.
What Soundwave neglected to teach though was that there are mental intrusions that are just meant not to be blocked out since they are a vital part of a bond. If Sheina could just determine what kind of bond she did have then she would have thought better than trying to close the other off as she slowly made a mental door to the bond and tried to close it.
Sheina has no clue of what bond she has with the mech upon fleeing. Thinking of the growing pain in her chest as nothing as severe as before, she ignored it even if it was starting to take toll on her still tired body as she felt more heavy than usual. She just tried to get away as far as possible, hoping that it would thin out the bond and break it.
She found herself more tired from the run but her determination didn't really ebb away as she saw the main building just up ahead. With her other goal insight, she knew that she needs to hide and slip out of reach as long as possible but realization strike her once again as her face turned quite the shade of red in thought of a certain mech.
If a bond is a way for the bonded to find each the other… For her, that means she might have or might have not a bond with Barricade ever since the start of their hiding game…? She flushed at that. If what she have thought is correct then that would likely be a good explanation for him always being able to actually find her despite her cloaking device in use. A cloaking device can't hide a bond.
Ignoring her thoughts about her guardian for the while as she felt another query over the bond, she decided that she should first quiet down the other. Very determined to shut the other one out as she felt the frustration and coaxing from the mech to comeback, she slammed the mental door of their bond with all her mental strength that resulted to her tripping and splicing her knee over the edge of the main hangar door. The metal corner's sharpness...even though it was not that quite sharp was still able to wound her when the impact was hard enough. She was rewarded with a large cut that made her bleed the inhuman blood she had now. The purplish liquid dripped in a single line as her senses over that injured leg became numb.
Sheina doesn't know if it was a victory that the bond was now closed as she inspected it, or was it worse when she could no more think straight with pain hitting her entire being. What she also failed to notice was how the lighter shade of bruises that had been all over her body had soon turned into an even darker color that reached out from under the bandages she had. The want to voice out a loud scream could not even escape her as she can feel herself falling voiceless and strained. Every muscle in her was tightening her blood pressure spiked high.
"OEN! PRIMUS! There you are! Ratchet! RATCHET!" Someone shouted as her vision blurred and she toppled down to the ground.
"OEN!" More shouts came and there was nothing she could do as she slowly slipped into the darkness that was clawing over her vision.
The vibrations she felt on the ground could be an earthquake but she didn't really think so since she was soon airborne and taken into someone's warm metal servos. The air around them became wind as it touched her face. Distracted with all of this, she didn't feel that mental door she had closed, opened a little as the mech over the other edge of their bond felt fear when he felt her drowning in pain.
With all of these happening, no one noticed a single entity hiding in the shadows as its red gleaming optics stared at the frantic Autobots and humans taking the femme away again with one destination in mind, the medbay. Frenzy had been in contact with Hook for the past hours, leaving Shein for a while in the Autobots hands, trusting slightly that nothing would happen while he was away since the femme was monitored quite heavily ever since they got here.
He was so wrong to think that nothing would really happen because once he had returned, he saw Shein was already out from somewhere, looking pale and quite ready to tip over. He had seen her running away from whatever was in that building she had left. He was supposed to intercept the femme but it seems that there were others that were already searching for her as she was spotted by the mech, Mirage.
Frenzy didn't leave the shadows but as that Colonel turned to stare at his spot, he knew that the human probably felt his strong murderous intent and anger. The black man soon came over and patted the other's shoulder, taking his attention away from the mechling. Frenzy hadn't mind if the colonel did come over to inspect. After all… he needed something to release his pent up hatred over this faction. He had already an alibi to tell (for Shein if she still wants something logical that would ebb her anger for him killing off another squishy) if they asked why he had killed the man.
When only a few soldiers were left at the main hangar, he glared at them and willed them to just offline… hopefully, some of them would catch something deadly.
But at the corner of Frenziy's optics, he could see that there was another entity in the shadows that should be too big to hide so well. The gleam of silver made him back away into the darkest corner as he clutched onto the battered but still functional cloaking device he still had in his pocket.
The mechling hadn't known what that other was doing when something whirred from the other's servo when he had placed it on the ground, but when he did, he timed it and jumped when the large electrical pulse went through the metal floors and walls, taking the humans down. Frenzy knew that it had stun all of them as he could feel himself, despite trying to avoid it, unable to move.
His optics narrowed as he tried to get an id from the other. Who was this fool to have come here and suddenly storm the Autobot base head on with Shein still within?!
When the silver mech slowly come out of the shadows, the mechling's optics were as wide as they can be. He, too, asked in shock on how in the pit can an offlined mech be still alive. From the reports he had received, the mech was already offlined as the Lord had ripped him in half.
The mech was soon standing and looking around the hangar, observing, that is until the sour prune and vain of Frenzy's and many others' existences came with a scowl over her face as she saw the soldiers down on the ground. Her eyes squinted as her anger can be seen as her brows dipped in the center. Her eyes soon landed on the mech as her gaze only got colder and her scowl deepened.
"Who are you and what do you think you are doing?! Why are the soldiers down?! Where is Lennox, the Prime and the others?! Why aren't they in their post?! Oh, they are so in trouble when I get my hands on them. The heads will know of this!" The old woman hissed as she turned and made her assistant flinch from her growl of irritation for the said persons that currently missed greeting her.
Frenzy knew when to dislike a person but this time, for the woman, he was totally okay with getting in trouble when he eliminates her. That is if the mech standing before her wouldn't offline her first as Jazz's cannon onlined.
Anticipation was blooming in Frenzy's chest as he was able to get a good view for when the mech releases the shot. Oh, he prayed that the mech would just shoot the little slagging squishy… He hopes that that deceased Autobot would. After all… maybe the mech was there to relieve them all of the fragging squishy's existence; that is why he had come back from the Matrix.
Mearing isn't happy... Well, when was she not in whole story? *snickers* Expect Jazz to sit down on the woman or what about throw in that cannon fire like Frenzy wanted? I think I am going to just leave you all till the next chapter comes up! And to celebrate the 2nd year anniversary, I'll be uploading two chapters in two consecutive days! See you!
All right, reply section...
Eunice: I am! Thank you~ *grins* For a long time now, I can say that I hadn't seen that coming! I actually didn't know so at the awarding night, I was MIA. *snickers* I was already at home, sleeping until the next day came and I got texts from the others congratualating me -that midnight-. *throws fist in the air* Yes! I did my homework right! Then... back to the chapters, (sorry, got a bit lost in that) I can say that I will be throwing all of you into my bin of secrets in the next updates. *winks* It's about slagging time I give justice to my plot... And I'll see you then. :'D Thanks'a'lot!
BarricadesDemon216: Hints for reactions... mechs blowing their processors off, Ratchet being lost for words, someone snapping, more processors and heads flying and all those whatnots. Can't say for the Cons though, they are a secret. *grins and wink* It will be a productive next few chapters if I don't say so myself! But welp, don't expect too much... might blow me a new processor. Hope you're alright now, though~ ^^
Fav, follow, and review! People, it is going to be a new bumpy ride!
