Ok, storyline! Everyone knows the goverment conspiracy cover up speel, its been done to death. But come on, how else do you throw a bunch of aliens together? One year after the battle for the allspark. The Autobots have a base established. Yes, I am taking creative liberties, but I dont own autobots and this is a fanfic site. We have established this. Please dont kill me. The whole message thingy that Optimus sent out "We are here, we are waiting, yadda yadda yadda" has been heard, several Autobots have responded... Hello, there are hundreds of fics about said autobots and how they were found and such. This one is mine. What if... Sector 7 was just a front... For something far more... Sinister... MWHAHAHAHA! I give you... SECTOR 9! Five is mutant, a child with a very special talent. The ability to understand and communicate with machines. As in hack into computers... WITH HER MIND. MWHAHAHAHA! Ehrm... Sorry, the whole evil scientist thing is making me want to practice the evil laugh... I bet you can see where this is heading and you probably wanna use this idea, which is fine. My muse is too stoned to care if you steal her idea's. Silus is an alien from another planet. DUH, knew this was coming, didnt you? Think Predator, but less ugly and not as growly gonna kill everything in sight because I can. He crash landed here, gasp, and is, suprise suprise, being studied... cue weird sci fi music Than we have Shimmerstrike. Our poor little NBE, who happened to respond to Optimus's message, got nailed by the goverment before he could tell anyone he was here and was dragged down into the Sector Nine DUM DUM DUM DUUUUUUUUUUUM To be studied, because the other Autobots sure as heck werent gonna let themselves be and NBE 1, pretty much went boom. Lots to take in, I know, bear with me. Ok, so they are all being kept in this secret goverment lab place, when suprise suprise, they meet. Starts with Five and Silus, because well, Five, who is now 11 years old, having been raised in the lab is allowed pretty much to run free and is treated like a favorite pet by the scientists and Silus, who is kept in a cage, has quickly become her best friend. Alright, my grammer, spelling and punctuation SUCK. I am aware of this. I have a learning disability and spell check can only do so much. PLEASE dont hate me. My mind is alot smarter then my brain and they have lightsaber battles over what ends up being typed. Sometimes, my mind loses. Ok, now that my short story leading up to the short story is over... ONWARD TO THE SHORT STORY! YAY!
P.S- Yeah, angst, violence, cussing, all that good stuff. Dont like it? Dont read it. You have been warned.
Of Misfits and Mayhem, Chapter 1.
The ancient six armed warrior slowly opened one eye, the slightest whimper from the little girl sleeping across the room causing his pointed ears to twitch. The faint sounds that reached him next, opened the other eye as he devoted his attention to both the child's growing distress and a strange, mechanical cry of some sort. Five? His deep timbre echoed softly, waking the girl from her fitful sleep. She looked around, alarmed. Easy Five, Silus said soothingly. S...Silus... She whispered as the mechanical cry grew louder. I hear it Five. Its... Its scared... She said, her voice filled with sadness. He blinked, rolling easily to his feet and approaching the bars of the cage, crouching there. You can feel it? Yeah... Its... Its a machine... But... Its smart... Real smart... Silus tilted his head, deep in thought as the mechanical sounds dulled, than became silent. Perhaps it is a new friend. He said, his deep amber eyes meeting her soft green ones as he tried to reassure her in the only way he could. She nodded, but he could see the worry on her face. You shoud try to return to sleep Five. There is nothing you can do for it now. Will you watch over me Silus? Always, he said, nodding as she curled back up in her hammock and pulled the blankets over her tiny body. Late into the night, as the child slept, the alien who watched her from his cage, thinking over the strange sounds and the statement she had made. That sound had been too familiar... The same sound, they had heard exactly one year ago, when the laboratory had been put on lockdown because of an attack on the dam and explosions had rocked the walls and floor as Five clung to him through the bars, screaming about an evil coming to destroy the world and something called allspark. He could only hope, the sound was not an omen of impending doom for them both.
Five was woken by the sound of security door being unlocked. Yawning she stretched as scientist entered with two trays of food. Morning Joe! She said cheerfully. Why, good mornin to ya miss Five, the tall black man said with a grin. An mornin to ya too old grumpy butt. Joe grinned at Silus, who hissed and bared his elongated fangs, than grumbled about how it was too early to be a good morning. He set one both of the trays on the table, than unlocked Silus's cage. Good news. Max wont be in for another two hours. Enjoy your freedom. SIlus grinned and stepped out of his cage, grateful for the short periods of time when the supervising scientist wasnt there and he was allowed to stretch his legs. After three years of imprisonment, he had given up on fighting them and in turn, many of the scientists had learned to trust the massive blue skinned alien. He stretched his six arms, rolling onto his toes and reaching for the ceiling as various joints popped. Five wrinkled her nose, shovelling scrambled eggs into her mouth as she watched her friend. He stuck his 2 foot long prehensile tongue out at her, doing a graceful back handspring, landing on one of his middle right hands and landing neatly infront of her, where he leaned forward, ruffling her hair. Show off. Five said with a grin. Always, Silus replied, eyeing the tray infront of him. He detested scrambled eggs. Slimey, strange smelling goo. He ignored them, grabbing a sausage and popping it into his mouth.
-three hours later-
Today, you will be attempting to communicate with a sentient non biological lifeform. Five blinked, looking up at Dr. Migs. The woman smiled down at her. Follow me. Sighing Five followed, as they to her suprise, they went up. Walking down a brick tunnel, her eyes widened at the massive being bolted to the floor. You will be permitted to interact freely, security clearance is upped. You may come here whenever you wish, with the understanding that a full report of all findings is to be given at the end of each encounter and you are to maintain a distance of 20 feet at all times. Do you understand? Yeah... I mean yes ma'am! Five muttered, staring at the metallic being infront of her.
(("Author note: Shimmerstrike was captured before he had a chance to scan an alt form, therefor his form is based on the protoform seen in the movie, when the transformers first landed. The shiney silver doesnt look like a car, looks like a giant japanese anime mech type thing. That is all. We now return you to your regularly sheduled fanfiction"))
He was increadable, humanoid in form, but seemingly made of some kind of silver metal. Closing her eyes, she attempted to reach out and link with his proccessor. To her suprise she felt him, in ways that no other machine had ever felt. Instead of the cold, calculated mind of most machines, his mind was warm and alive. She was about to search for programming when a soft, almost human sounding voice spoke inside my head. Who...Are you? Five blinked. No machine had ever spoken to her this way before. The most she had picked up on was programmed responses in binary. My name is Five... She replied, curiousity building.I talk to machines. Do you have a name? It...It is Shimmerstrike... Where am I? He asked, his voice filled with pain. Sector Nine, she said, its a human based laboratory devoted to the study of extra terrestrials for the betterment of mankind. You keep... Beings from other planets here... LIke this? He sounded horrified. Yes, she said, feeling sorry for him. How many others are there here? He asked. Just two. You and my friend Silus. Silus... Is he... Like me? She felt the briefest feeling of worry. No, he's biological, fleshy like me. Suddenly, something happened that had never happened before. She felt something wrap around her mind, gently probing. Terrified she tried to shove it away and the feeling instantly withdrew. What... What did you do? She whispered. I am...Sorry...For frightening you... I ment no harm. He said. I was simply trying to get a feel for you. Gathering information is what I do, I looked at him, to my suprise his head had turned, intense optics glowing blue looked at me curiously. I backed up. Number Five? I blinked, looking up at Dr. Migs. We have contact Dr. Migs, Five said softly. Good. Lets try some stimulation and see what kind of response we get. Shimmerstrike looked away as they fired up the generators, preparing to send electrical impulse through the cables that had been attached to his head, chest and limbs. To Five's suprise, his massive metal hands tightened into fists. Wait... she was about to say when the first shock was released. Shimmerstrike jerked against the steel bolting him down and Five heard something no machine had ever shown. A muffled cry of pain. Dr...Dr...Migs... What is the response Five? She blinked, looking at the massive being shuddering infront of her and remembered the nights when they had dragged Silus's limp form back to his cell after days of simaliar tests. He... No response, she said, hoping they would stop. Five looked at him as he jerkingly turned his head to her, those blue optics flickering and suddenly she felt sick inside. P...P...Please... His voice was warbled, as if he had to strain just to form words. S...S...Stop... Increase voltage by 50,000, she heard Dr. Migs say. As the voltage increased, a horrible sound filled her mind and the room, a twisted, agony filled mechanical scream. Five clamped her hands to the sides of her head as pain flooded her body. She remembered breifly, hearing herself screaming before everything went black.
fini chapter 1
Short but sweet, I know, no worries, chapter two is halfway done already. My first fic, I made the mistake up having one big chapter that was 11,000 words and no one reviewed it because it was an angst drabble that droned on forever... ((I am in the process of restoring a 1968 Mercury Cougar, who suprise suprise will be making an appearance in this story, but in my other fanfic I was pissed because his choke cable snapped and so I turned it into a nice big beat the tar out of my car angst fest thing because he was driving me nutso... But in this chapter you will get to the the less "blown up, smashed and pain filled" version of him, AS WELL AS The familiar faces we all know and love! Because it wouldnt be a transformers fanfiction if it centered around a new transformer no one knows and a little kid trapped in a laboratory and didnt have even a cameo appearance by Optimus Prime. I mean come on, he's too awesome to not put in a story. Same with Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide and.. dun dun dun DUN, because I must, I am planning on putting... Sunstreaker and Sideswipe in. Because... Well... They rock. Need I say more? RESCUE IS COMING! YAY! )) So, Im trying short chapters with lots of updates instead. Pretty please R&R, reviews make my heart happy! I've been bouncing this idea around for a while. Feels good to get it out on paper finally! YAY ME! Hold onto your lugnuts kiddies, cause this party is just gettin started. IRONHIDE! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU, NO YOU CANT BLOW UP MY CAT! loud cussing, explosions and meowing is heard as the butterfly cat goes away now
