Transformers Alterverse 1

by Taiya001

What if the Allspark got into someone else's hands. Take a deeper dive into the unique world of Transformers Alterverse where militaristic generals are just as threatening as the Decepticons themselves. Small Note: My earlier chapters were written much less proficiently as my grammar was lacking. My newer chapters get better I promise you. Also I am currently editing the old ones.

10. Chapter 10

*POLITICAL DISCLAIMER* {I used a fictional name for the president because I don't know the winner of the 2008 election, see if you can guess why I used the name I did}

Taiya started to become immersed in her training. And she was relieved that shockwave would be leaving soon to go back to Cybertron. She still shuddered to think about all of the wires that now lay underneath her skin and the cyber-chips in her back. She had thee attached to her spine, one by the data port on her neck, and from what see could see a few more under her right hand. And only Primus knew exactly how many the one eyed monstrosity had placed in her. She thought of her brother and what he would say if he knew of what she had done. Taiya was now fearful that her own family would think she is a disgrace to the family and the rest of humanity. From what she had been told, she would infiltrate the government buildings around the globe to set up a watch network. She was even going to be sent to the White House and the Pentagon. Both places were now crawling with Sector 7 agents and security guards. Rumble had begun to teach her hand to hand combat and Frenzy the art of what he called "sneakiness". Rumble was trying to get the girl ready to take someone out if a conflict a raised. However rumble was beginning to get frustrated with her, she wasn't picking up the moves as fast as a typical transformer. The chips in her back helped but they didn't do all of the work. She still had to practice. Everyday she would get up and go right to the training dock to meet with the twins and practice some more. Some of the Decepticons were still out in search of PET's. Doctor Arkeville was also leaving making it even better around the Nemesis. Blackout was supposed to take him back to his office in Denver Colorado in the next week. He had been teaching Megatron about human anatomy. Megatron was intrigued about the state of being humans were. He seemed too involved with the process of disease and viral infections. This made Taiya a tad bit nervous to think about Megatron wanting to use a lethal bacterium on humans. Megatron the mastermind was a topic that just brought shivers to all that thought about it. Even Blackout could only stop and give a "what the spark" kind of look whenever the topic was presented. Other then the usual ups and downs things were quite the same. Back in the city of Northbrook a boy was just as bewildered as the helicopter Decepticon. Stephen was lost, everywhere he went no one had seen his sister. He went to her home only to have Taiya's landlord in an upstart about her missing her rent. He had to his disarray, give Taiya 60 days to get back and collect her things. Taiya's landlord was always a sore to the sights. He was a middle-aged man who was slightly balding and had a beer belly. A rather vile man who only cared about one thing, money, and if you had it you were his best friend. So far Stephen had checked with her workplace, home, and local shops and usual locations. But still no sight of his sis. He decided to see a few friends and check with them. He meet up with Nala. Nala was one of Taiya's best friends at college and he knew that was a good place to start. He looked her up in the phonebook and had agreed to meet her at a local café. They both got some coffee and sat down at a corner table.

Stephen – "So you don't know where she is either?"

Nala – "No, I am sorry."

Stephen – "when did you see her last?"

Nala – 'I saw her the last day of school, she was acting weird and then she ran off into the forest preserve outside our campus."

Stephen – 'Does Taiya use that area a lot?"

Nala – "Not usually, she usually just likes it in there during the spring. But other then that she just went missing after that."

Stephen – "Could you give me some directions?"

Nala – "Of course I can." {She took out some notebook paper and wrote down some directions and even a tiny little map}

Stephen – "Thank you Nala."

They finished the coffee and departed. Stephen headed to the forest and came upon an open area and noticed some police tape on the ground near a bush. What his aunt rang in his head and Stephen could only shake it off. He walked through the area and almost hit his head on a rock as he fell into what looked like a large hole. But Stephen knew better as he looked around. The hole looked like two large foot prints similar to the size of a T-Rex. But the only thing large enough to make such prints in Stephens mind was the Transformers. He came to the quick conclusion that a Transformer was in the area and the government was here to inspect it. He had to keep searching. He thought sarcastically in his mind "Yeah right, Taiya wouldn't go near the Transformers." but that thought wasn't convincing enough. Taiya what did you do? Was just the right assumption. Stephen continued his search while a doctor spoke with the president. Doctor Victor Keys had a private meeting with the president of the United States. A president who needed Keys.

Keys – "Let me get it straight, you want me to look into the Transformers in order for you to win the war in Iraq?"

Whitmore – "Yes that is precisely my plan. The pervious president started this conflict and I want to be the one to finish it. Too many lives have been lost already, in the best interest of the world we need to silence the terrorist nations and finally gain democracy.'

Keys – "You realize that all of my dealings with you have to remain secret, I wouldn't want my good name used in political gain even if it involves keeping the world safe."

Whitmore – 'Yes Doctor Keys, I do understand. You will be meeting with General McAlister over this matter."

Keys – "Yes, he and me hope that we can get an Autobot to be a subject, but if we cannot we can always go with the alternative."

Whitmore – "Which is?"

Keys – "A Decepticon mister president."

Whitmore – "I am still not sure if that is a good idea. We would have to make sure it is offline."

Keys – "Yes, yes it would. But hopefully we can get an Autobot to play along. I just hope that all of this goes according to plan. Last thing we need is to have the entire Decepticon faction up in arms and against us. They have remained very silent and that is how I would like it to stay. And there is a matter of funding."

Whitmore – "You help to end the war, and you will never have to worry about funding ever again."

Keys – "Thank you sir."

Whitmore – "You will be given access to not only the inner workings of the white house but also the pentagon itself. You will only have to answer to either me or general McAlister."

Keys – "Wonderful, it looks like I get to meet two great leaders this week."

Whitmore – "well I have to go and do a press release with my staff, it was a pleasure." {Whitmore extended his hand in appreciation and shook dr. keys hand}

Keys left the white house building quite happily. He would finally be able to move forward in his pursuit of Bio-Bionics. What Pres. Whitmore didn't know is that Keys already had a crack team of his own that no one knew about and or heard of. His team had known about the N.B.E 1 thing for the last decade or so. It was just a matter of time till the secret egg of sector 7 would crack, and after the newly known transformer race the case could start and their own bionic program would be initiated. Keys was just as much of a genius as general McAlister was heartless. The more the world found out about the transformer race, the more someone was looking out for their own interest. Every corrupt governmental agency was out to make their own TF army and try global conquest. They just had no idea that a transformer would be harder to catch then a shooting star with a base ball glove. Terrorists, gangs, and even some countries considered to be friendly were all after the prize. A prize they would pay a fortune to get. Such countries like China, Russia, Iran, Iraq, and even the British government were among the listed. Whitmore a young president with a gullible attitude, refused to believe the reports and to this General McAlister would expose and use to his own benefit.

- Step two - "Con"versations

Rumble – "Come on Taiya! Brawl climbs better then that!"

Taiya had been for the last 2 hours trying to climb up a rather slick wall with no hardware or shoes. Rumble was trying to coheres her to the top by shooting below her feet. The stress about being shot with a laser was not helping. Every time Taiya got to a hard spot she would fall back down. And to the dismay of Taiya, Rumble showed no hesitation in shooting mere centimeters below her feet.

Frenzy – "JJJEEESSSHHH Rumble, you do realize, we break her, Blackout breaks us. Try positive encouragement."

Rumble – {just stared at his brother in a look like "yeah right" . . ."what is positive?"} " Okay, positive. . . . Positive . . . . Uh . . . . . Frenzy I don't know any thing positive to say."

Frenzy – "You're hopeless."

Taiya – "HEY I THINK I GOT IIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!" {CRASH} "Uuuuugggghhh not again! DAMNIT!"

Rumble – {walks over and looks down at Taiya who is lying on her back at the bottom again.} "You are pathetic, you know that right?"

Taiya - : (

Frenzy – "Well you almost reached the top." {Frenzy said trying to be a tad bit nicer then Rumble}

Taiya – "can I have my shoes back?"

Rumble – "NO! NOW GET CLIMBING!"

Taiya – "Fine."

The hours ticked away and the more Taiya had to practice the more exhausted she became. Until eventually she fell asleep leaning against a ladder. She was startled awake to hear Megatron, Blackout, and Arkeville talking. Taiya whipped her eyes and went to the hall and crept behind them. Taiya stopped behind an exposed vent and just tried to be quite. When it came to Megatron she just wanted to avoid him altogether. The last thing she would want to do is make him mad.

Blackout – {holding one of the posters Taiya's brother had put up} "This is bad Megatron, we have to get her back to her home before people start putting things together."

Megatron – "How is this my issue blackout? I thought the girl had no family."

Blackout – "Obviously I did not look into things clearly. All I know is that we have to cover our tracks."

Megatron – "Our tracks? More like your tracks. It was up to you to clear things up. You will fix this or else I will have to do it for you. And we all know what that means."

Arkeville – "It should be easy for me to help in the matter, her brother wants to know where she was, well how about a clinical trial. I can get the paperwork in order and have copies sent out to the local police and get the search to stop. And with my status, the federal enforcement agency will also drop the case."

Megatron – "And that is why I keep you around, you know humans and their bizarre ways. We should try and figure out a way we can travel around this planet without being seen."

Blackout – "What about the space bridge?"

Megatron – "We could turn it into a small teleportation device. It would be quite simple, if we can send objects 3,000,000,000 light-years away to Cybertron, we should be capable of this."

Arkeville – "I mean no disrespect Megatron, but do you know what a double life is?"

Megatron – "No I cannot say I have heard of this."

Arkeville – "Well here on earth we have secret agents that work for the Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the National Security Agency. These agents set up two different lives to cover up what they do. My suggestion is to do the same with any PET or human con."

Megatron – "Excellent, Arkeville you help blackout in the matter. But Blackout, you know what will happen if this gets out of hand, I don't care how you get it done, just do it."

Blackout - "Yessir." {Blackout knew what Megatron meant, but he hoped it would not come to that.}

Megatron – "I will get Starscream to build Space Bridge 2."

Blackout – "I will take Taiya back to her home town tomorrow and see if we can't settle out a few things. Well actually, let her do it, I don't think the sight of me will make it better."

Arkeville – I can have the medical forms done pronto. Say 12-ish"

Taiya had no clue what Megatron meant about "just do it" but she wanted to hurl, Arkeville and his constant suck ups were starting to make her sick. "But I guess having a second life would be kind of cool. I guess that dumb doctor can come up with good ideas. " .. Taiya waited for them to leave before going back down in the elevator. Taiya laughed herself to sleep with the idea of "Secret Decepticon Agent Taiya".

- Step 3 - Brothers

Not many Decepticons were at breakfast. They were enjoying a fun time searching for a PET of their own. Some of them were displeased because they felt that there was no PET worthy of their partnership. Others just couldn't make up their mind about if they wanted a female or a male. Either way they were joyous about being able to do what they wanted without having Megatron over their shoulders. Brawl wanted to go search around a few military bases when he was done at the nemesis. The Constructicons tried their best to fit in with city life and mainly stationed themselves around human construction sites, barricade stuck with them because he knew that they had little or no control over their anger and Primus forbid that they blew their cover over just getting a little bit angry. Megatron was starting to go nuts; with no one to boss around he was getting anxious to give orders. Soundwave was rather happy that the place was quiet, for once he could hear himself think, but he was still apprehensive to admit that shockwave shared the same idea. He hated that they got them mixed up so often. But one thing is clear; there is only one Cyclops in the Decepticon team. Blackout was trying to reformat himself so that his number won't be picked up so easily. The last time they figured it out, he just needed a number still active. 4500 X had to go, well at least not forever. Blackout was attached to the little number now. It was better then his Cybertronian number, 2355689000746558231, that was too long to leave an impression on the enemy. Arkeville had a giant stack of papers in front of him, all neatly sorted and bundled. When it came to suck ups, he was king. Frenzy and Rumble were joking how they left Taiya drooling and snoring in the training room. Jokes of which Taiya was not happy to hear.

Taiya – "SHUT IT! As soon as I get a weapon I will rip you two apart. Either that or I will make one."

Rumble – "You beat us, and I and Frenzy will wear Tutu's for a week."

Taiya – "One against two that is not a fair fight. If I had my brother I would take you up on that offer."

Blackout – "Speaking of your brother, He is looking for you." {Blackout handed her the poster}

Taiya – {trying to sound surprised} "STEPHEN! At this rate I thought he forgot about me."

Blackout – "Nope and I have to take you back to your home town today and see him. We have to get the search for you to stop. It is starting to look suspicious."

Taiya – {Got up and hugged blackout} "Thank you, I really miss him. I haven't seen him since I was a freshman in college."

Frenzy – "IS HE COMING BACK WITH YOU?"

Taiya – "That would be so awesome." . . . . "But…"

Rumble – "But what?"

Taiya – "Megatron won't allow it…. How can I explain what I did? What I ….am"

{Rumble and Frenzy looked at each other and smirked as they read each others minds}

Taiya – "what are you two up to?"

Frenzy – "Megatron said we could all have one PET. Right?"

Taiya – "Yeah…. This helps me how?"

Rumble – "Well seeing as Scorponok cannot decide on a PET normally, cant Blackout just pick two in place of Scorponok?"

Blackout – "That just might work, excuse me." {Blackout rushed over to Megatron and you could see them talking}

Megatron – "ARE YOU SLAGGING ME? TWO! YOU WANT TWO!? AFTER WHAT I DID FOR YOU ALLREADY. NO, NO, OBSOLUTELY NOT!"

Blackout – "Hey it was your choice."

Megatron – "no"

Blackout – "Okay how about this, you can meet the boy and decide then."

Megatron – "I hate it when you catch me in my own decisions . . . . . fine, I STILL GET TO DECIDE. {Looked over at Taiya who had her hands up like Please Megatron} YOU'RE NOT OUT OF THIS EITHER; I NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER TALK WITH YOU!"

Taiya - {just near frightened went back to eating her toast, to which ended up more on her cheek then in her mouth due to her quavering}

Bonecrusher – "Damn, you humans are stupid, you can't even eat right." {Not realizing that Blackout was right behind him}

Blackout – {sighed, then taking one of his blades off of his back swung it had against bones' head} "and you are really stupid for saying that in front of me"

The others tried desperately to contain their laughter at the sight of Bonecrusher's head. It was dented pretty badly. Bones could only try and keep his cool, the last thing bones would want is to piss off a much more powerful con then him.

Brawl – {came rushing in, covered with dirt, grime, and motor oil} "Thank primus I caught you in time. You almost left without these." {Holds up tiny pair of roller blades}

Blackout – "where have you been?"

Brawl – {looking sort of perturbed} "I told you I was making these."

Blackout- "It took you six weeks to build those? What record are you "trying" to break?"

Brawl – "totally ignoring you rudeness, but yes, you try making something so small?"

Blackout – -

Brawl – "As I thought."

Blackout – "So short-circuit me."

Brawl – {looking very excited} "Try em on!"

Taiya – {slipping the roller blades on} "OOOO Very comfortable"

Brawl – "now to get the wheels out you have to think this "Retract Blades"."

Taiya – {nodded and closed her eyes, and after a few seconds a set of five wheels unfolded from the base of the shoe} "WOAH, THESE ROCK!"

Brawl – {smiling as Taiya got up and started to skate across the table} "YES THEY WORK."

Taiya – "Now I can keep up with you guys a bit better."

Brawl – "Not only that but I built in a few compartments and also some small rockets that can help you accelerate for a few seconds at a time."

Taiya – "what kind of compartments?"

Brawl – "A spring loaded knife is on each skate to the outside that can launch it into your hand, and a compartment for little flash bombs or grenades. I am still thinking of more."

Taiya – "Thank you very much Brawl"

Brawl – "Consider it an early chritmass gift" {obviously not getting how to say holiday names}

Taiya – "How do I make the knife come out?"

Brawl – "the sensors in your leg talk to the skates, just talk to your legs."

Taiya – "okay, retract left knife" {nothing happened so frenzy walked over to look at them to see if he could see the problem when, the knife sprung out and hit him in the head}

Rumble – {laughing} "Nice one Taiya."

Taiya – "I so did not mean to do that."

Frenzy – "I believe you, its hard to get used to new weapons . . . You however Rumble." {Frenzy picked up the knife and threw it at Rumbles arm, the knife cut through a few wires that were now making Rumbles arm rotate in a circle}

Rumble – "OUCH!" {He said as he tried to control his arm, only making it hit him instead.} "YOU SON OF A SLAGGER, FIX THIS!" {WHACK} "OUCH"

Frenzy – "First lesson on projectiles Taiya, always go for a weak point, and in rumbles case, the outer ½ inch section of wires that control his arm. The problem with Rumble here is that he has a ton of weapons but only a few fail safes."

Rumble – "If I could get my arm to stop, I would whack you!" {Slam} "OOOUUCCHH!"

Frenzy – "See, He is too easy to beat."

Rumble – "YOUARESUCHAMOTHERSLAGGER!"

Bones – "WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP, YOU ARE GIVING ME A FRAGGING HEADACHE." {Bonecrusher said as he got up to leave the room and too proud to say it but he was jealous, his own design was now on a human. This made bones very angry}

Frenzy – {fixed his brothers arm and also figured out it was just the skates tuning process to get used to Taiya's brain waves} "I can help you practice when you come back, me and rumble cant wait to meet your brother, and good job brawl, the skates are above standard." {Frenzy and Rumble waked away} "See I told you shurikens were a good choice."

Rumble – "You got this round, but I will pawn the next."

Frenzy – "We'll see."

-Step 4 – Life

Taiya and Blackout left later that morning, with doctor Arkeville's paper work. Blackout scanned the local area to find a good place to land. He choose an area according to him, was an old abandoned farm.

Blackout landed and let Taiya out. He Transformed back into his biped form and started to remove a lot of his outer shell.

Taiya – "What are you doing?"

Blackout – "I have to loose-{crash} a lot- {crash} of this- {crash} gear. Otherwise I will sound like godzira "

Taiya – "I think you mean Godzilla"

Blackout – "Well then why do the characters in the movie go "Godzirrrraaa?"

Taiya – "They can't pronounce the double ll's"

Blackout – "That-uh-explains it – {Crack-crash}"

Taiya – {Tilting her head} "You look… uh….well….uh…"

Blackout – {now looking like a skeleton covered in metal that could barely be called a transformer let alone a robot. Was no more then a frame and a few components} "Wow, I feel light. Its amazing what 3 tons of hardware off of you can do."

Taiya – "Are you planning on walking around or can you still transform?"

Blackout – "My plan is to hide my gear and let Scorponok guard it, meanwhile I will have to try transforming into something smaller then a helicopter."

Taiya – "How about a car?"

Blackout – 'Good one, but what car? The only car suitable for my size is a limousine."

Taiya – "Why don't you just transform into a truck, or a large SUV?"

Blackout – "I think I know what model too."

Blackout placed his gear inside an old abandoned wheat grain silo. He covered it with hay and a few branches. And just to make sure that no one dared to look inside the old silo, he fashioned a sign that read {WARNING: BIO-CONTAMINATION, NOTICE OF QUARANTINE AND EVICTION}. Blackout transformed into a Ford Escalade, and told Scorponok to stay there and guard the old silo. Scorponok buried himself underground to hide away too, but not too deep, he could sense all that was going on above. And just had to wait till someone dared to go near the silo. Taiya got into the front seat and blackout kind of got angry at that.

Blackout – "Hey I can drive you know."

Taiya – "Right, it will look very convincing having no one behind the wheel. Anyways, I am just pretending to dive. Besides that holographic driver of yours is not exactly the SUV type."

Blackout – "Okay, okay, I just don't want anyone steering me. Its bad enough I have to be a stupid truck, I mean how do Autobots do this? This is worse then having your circuitry rusted. Who thought it was a good idea to drive everywhere, it is much better to fly."

Taiya – "I guess that's why Decepticons are better then Autobots, but we have to blend in. anyways, it might be fun."

They started out to Taiya's school to see if they could hand in a copy to the school about why she hadn't registered for fall classes or handed in her physical. Taiya went into the school and it took about a few hours for her to go to every staff member and explain her absence. She also owed some money for not paying for spring. She took out her debt card and paid for it. She also put money down for fall. A file clerk in the admissions office looked absolutely stunned at seeing Arkeville's name and signature. Taiya had to contain her shear disgust when the clerk said "DOCTER ARKEVILLE! THE DOCTOR ARKEVILLE!? When I was your age, I practically worshiped the man." Then she made it worse by fanning her self with the file. Taiya's eye started to twitch as she left the building and headed back to blackout who was trying his best not to transform and kill the pigeon that had landed on top of him. The next stop was the police station to cancel the missing persons report. The cops took a look at the file and said they would clear it. But the police commissioner couldn't resist a time to give her a lecture of telling people where she would be before doing something like this again. She looked over at the wall of missing persons and took down her picture. Some of the cops were just happy that they did not have to load one more dead body bag and ship it back to the morgue. One of the last places was her small apartment. It was a renovated motel that was now serving as apartments. Taiya could see six weeks worth of mail and newspapers all piled up. She got out and took out her backpack to load the envelops. She also took the newspapers and tossed them into the recycle bin at the far left of the building. When the lid crashed this made her landlord come out to see what made the noise. With a shotgun in his hand and a cigar in his mouth looked pissed at seeing Taiya standing there, who after meeting the Decepticons could not get distressed by the gun. The landlord was middle-aged man who had a beer belly and a foul behavior. He looked like the overweight gym teacher that scared you out of your mind in grade school. He always smelled of cigar smoke and he wore polo shirts with various stains on them.

Landlord – "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!? 2 MONTHS OVERDUE PAYMENT, NO NOTICE, NO CALL, JUST GONE!? IF IT WASN'T FOR THE LAW I WOULD SHOT YOU!"

Meanwhile, in the parking lot, Blackout tightened his transistors as to not blow his cover. You could see the words {Note to self, KILL the landlord} being written on the middle console screen.

Taiya – "Mr. Hayward I can explain everything."

Hayward – "YOU'D BETTER."

Taiya – "I just finished with a medical study and it came up so quickly I didn't get a chance to get back to everyone about it."

Hayward – "Study, WHAT STUDY?"

Taiya – "Do you know a Doctor Arkeville, Mr. Hayward?"

Hayward – "Wasn't that the psycho that killed his med students in Colorado a while back?"

Taiya – "Well yes, he was given another chance by the medical board." {Taiya handed him a file}

Hayward – {Took the file and flipped through the pages} "It looks like you have everything here, but WHERE IS MY MONEY!"

Taiya – "I was just headed to the bank for some up to date checks."

Hayward – "2 GRAND, I MISSED OUT ON 2 GRAND BECAUSE OF YOU."

Taiya – "Listen, you will get your money."

Hayward – "I better, word around the neighborhood is that you got some bo, and a bad one at that."

Taiya – "Who started that bull shit about me?"

Hayward – "a girl like you just goes missing, well there had to have been a reason and word on the street is that you got mixed up with some biker dude."

Taiya – "No, none of that happened."

Hayward – "this is just some street advice Taiya, go to the cops, get the asshole locked up. I may be a jerk but I know the law."

Taiya – "You are overreacting Mr. Hayward."

Hayward – "You pregnant or somethin?"

Taiya – o/o ;;;; "NO I AM NOT PREGNANT!"

Hayward – "okay, BUT CONSIDER THIS YOUR EVICTION NOTICE. I AM TIRED OF YOU MISSING YOUR PAYMENTS. YOU ARE BAD BUSINESS. AND THE LAW SAYS I HAVE TO GIVE YOU 4 WEEKS TO PACK UP, AND YOU ARE OUT!" {Mr. Hayward turned around and slammed the door to his apartment}

Taiya – {mad} "FINE, I AM LEAVING, WHO NEEDS THIS SHIT HOLE ANYWAY!" {Taiya unlocked her apartment when a woman came out from the unit next to her's}

Lady- {Ran up to Taiya and hugged her} "Oh Thank God you are all right. We have all been worried sick about you."

Taiya – "Miss. Quincy, I am so happy to see you."

Quincy – "We thought the worst, what if you had been kidnapped, or abducted, or sold of to some Mexican drug cartel."

Taiya – "Its okay Ms. Quincy, look at me, I am fine. I just came back to get the missing persons report to stop. And to pack my stuff."

Quincy – "You're moving?"

Taiya – "More like evicted." {Taiya tore off a few notices on her door} "And by the looks of it, my water, gas, and heat have been shut off. Along with my car has been impounded by the repo service. And I am fired."

Quincy – "Listen, if you would just let me pay you for once."

Taiya – "NO, I told you I would never charge you for babysitting Timothy."

Quincy – "Let me please."

Taiya – "It's okay Ms. Quincy. Tell you what, after I move, I will probably still be able to come back and babysit for little Tim."

Quincy – "one moment Taiya… {Ms. Quincy went back into her apartment and came back with the poster her brother made} your brother is looking for you, he was just here last weekend."

Taiya – "Yeah, that's why I had to come back to make sure people know where I went."

Quincy – "if you won't let me pay you, then I can at least let you use my phone to call your brother."

Taiya – "That would be wonderful Ms. Quincy."

Taiya called Stephen but all she got was a dial tone. Not known to Taiya or Stephen was that his European cell phone would not allow incoming calls while roaming. She left a message and when she tried to leave, timothy would not let go of Taiya's leg. He said he didn't want Taiya to go. So it took a bit of maneuvering to get back to her apartment. When Taiya's mom died she gave most of what was left to her, to her dad. So the only thing she had to pack up was clothes and a few other things. She would have to wait till tomorrow. She told blackout that she would get her stuff packed up tonight and be able to leave by tomorrow afternoon. So with that blackout said he would be back to pick her up at 6 the next day. He had to make sure Scorponok was behaving himself. So Taiya started to pack up her stuff and was kind of relieved to be leaving Indian trails apartments. To Taiya, it was more like dirt trail apartments. The furniture came with the apartment so she did not have to pack that up. So other then throwing out old food and some trash, it was easy. Megatron contacted Blackout and said that they could have the space bridge ready by tomorrow night. Starscream barely had to do anything. The only thing left was to install the control panels in key areas around the globe. This would be a piece of energon cake, according to star. All he had to do was insert a giant stake like device that would make the necessary connections. Megatron also wanted to make sure that only Decepticons could activate it so the sensors scanned for Decepticon code. Arkeville said that humans would not be able to activate it because of their inability to send out a signal. So Starscream had to modify it to scan DNA. Although, Starscream never thought any job was too difficult for him. He had made the comment "Too hard for the great star? I think not."

-Step 5 - Playing Catch Up

Meanwhile, Stephen was at the police station yelling at the officer for not telling him about Taiya.

Stephen – "WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME?"

Fanzone – "Calm down kid, we were going to call you."

Stephen – "Did she say where she was going?"

Fanzone – "Nope, not a word. But don't worry; she just got out of a medical study. At least that is what this file says."

Stephen –"file what file?"

Fanzone – {handed him the file}

Stephen – {read the info} "This makes no sense, my sister is a Trypanophobiac, she hates medical anything."

Fanzone – "well maybe she changed, not everyone stays the same you know."

Stephen – "I gotta go, I have a bad feeling about this."

Stephen headed back to Taiya's apartment but yet again he just missed her. Taiya took the bus and was at the bank getting new checks. She was having trouble at the bank over a new law, stating all new checks had to go through new paperwork. So Taiya had to wait for those, but instead of waiting she took the bus to go to the repo lot and see if she could get her car back. The car company said they would be willing to let her have the car for the regular payments she missed and 87 dollars extra for the repo service. But Taiya did not have enough money so she had to let the car go. The company said that they would report her to the credit union and this would hurt her credit. So while Taiya was clearing things up Starscream was already started on installing the first space bridge, now deemed Terra Transport, outside Taiya's home town 100 miles away in one of the most remote regions. The population of the area was 40 people. Taiya and Blackout would take it back to the nemesis. All day Stephen and Taiya kept missing each other and Taiya even checked in with her aunt and uncle. They were just happy to see her alive. Later that evening blackout came back and he let Taiya load up her belongings on to him and they went back to the barn to pick up Scorponok and blackouts gear. He said they could come back tomorrow if she would like. She asked if blackout would bring her stuff back to the nemesis and meet back with her tomorrow morning. Taiya wanted to give her brother one more night to catch her. Blackout said no and Taiya left a note on her door to her brother. She got into the car and just started to drive away when Stephen saw his sister. He tried to get her attention with the horn but it didn't work. Blackout did not know what to do either because to him that must have been some sort of earth custom to honk your horn at someone. Blackout said that he would be more comfortable driving to the terra bridge first and then coming back on his own for Scorponok. Taiya agreed, she thought it had to do with the weight of the cargo. But blackout was just wanted to be alone and get back and kill Mr. Hayward. So he just said yes when Taiya brought up the weight. He did not want Taiya to know what evil thoughts were going on inside his head. Now he just had to decide how he would do it, blades, bombs, or even just crushing him. All thoughts of which made blackout sinisterly happy. Stephen was falling behind; he was still not used to American driving. So he lost then at exit 32, but he kept a keen eye on them. He trailed behind as they drove out farther and farther from the inner city of Northbrook. He saw that the escalade started to drive down a country road and this halted Stephen for a while. He forgot how to turn his rental car into four wheel drive. So he had to watch his sister drive away. But he could still see them so he wasn't too scared.

Blackout drove into a forest area and fixed his position to the terra bridge. He let Taiya get out so that he could test Starscream's work first. Last thing he would want is his PET being turned inside out by one of stars mistakes. So the monitor scanned blackout and accepted him as a user. Taiya adorned her skates and put her sandals away in her bag. In a big flash blackout was gone. Taiya went over to the monitor and it started to cycle down to accept another user. Stephen parked his car, but wondered what happened to the escalade. He got out of the car and looked around for his sister, just trying to keep the thought of "Taiya's just on a picnic" and will be around here somewhere. A thought that did not help calm him. The terra bridge (TB) cycled down and Taiya stood in the middle of the circle and a big grid scanned her and verified her DNA, FLASH, Taiya was gone, but before she vanished her brother caught sight of her and ran down the hill to the blinding flash. Taiya was on the other side magically unharmed. She retracted her blades and skated down the hall to go help Blackout with her things. Stephen got to the bottom of the hill and looked around. He started to walk around and saw a strange light and saw a box with diagrams that read off {C-Cycle down, 20 sec} this was getting weirder and weirder by the minute. First he sees Taiya and just like that vanishes. Was this part of the medical experiment, experimental transportation? If so, he stood where his sister was standing and the machines grid system shown again. Being a twin the machine only read the first 22 chromosomes neglecting the last pair that determined sex and accepted him. Although the machine thought it was Taiya not Stephen. A blinding flash enveloped him and his body felt like it had been squeezed through a narrow passageway. As his body was digitalized and separated into molecules they speed faster then a bullet train. His body reformed in a long tower like room. He looked at the size of the room and it was gigantic. Probably at least 7 stores tall. He started to walk and hit the hallway. It was so far in length that not even Stephen knew how far it must go. But he had to find his sis and figure out what in hell was going on. He headed down the hall and was perplexed by the symbols on the walls. He continued until he saw something coming so he backed into a room. A room the size of a small warehouse. He looked around while the person in the hall passed and he saw giant computer, cables as thick as tree trunks, and a ton of bolts and other machine parts. He must be at a workshop, but what workshop needed such a large screen for their computer? He stayed silent and peered around the corner to see TWO TRANSFORMERS!? TWO, TWO, RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, And he could tell they were not friendly. The first one had 8 spike prongs on his back and the other one was a Cyclops? He was really scared now, all he thought was exit, where is the exit. He headed down the hall as quiet as he could be but tripped over his quavering feet. With a small crash he caught the attention of the two Transformers and the one with the spikes looked menacing.

Bones – "INTRUDER!" {Bonecrusher ran at Stephen who could only get up and start running himself}

{{An alarm sounded}}

- Step 6 - Dodging Hell

Stephen ran faster then he had in his entire life. Screaming and running away from the beast tried his best not to get killed. He thought it must be a nightmare. But the monstrosity of a being was obviously keen on getting Stephen. Unfortunately Bonecrusher's size did not help him catch the small earthling. He kept going to high. Stephen squirmed his way out of Bonecrusher's grasp. All the more reason why Bonecrusher was getting madder with every attempt. He was starting to loose it, and Stephen thought he was loosing his mind. Just where the Hell is this place?

Bones – "STAY STILL SO I CAN KILL YA!"

Stephen – "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" {Dodging another blow as he slid into the elevator, Stephen got up quick and pressed a few buttons} "DOWN, GO DOWN."

Bones – "YOU CANT ESCAPE ME BOY!" {Bones said just as the elevator doors closed}

Stephen – {clicked more buttons}

The elevator went down and Stephen backed against the wall panting and very alarmed. His heart was racing at about 300 bmp. He grasped his chest and spoke thorough gasps.

Stephen – "What is going on? Where am I? What is this place? And WHY ARE THERE DECEPTICONS HERE? WAKE UP STEPHEN YOU ARE IN A DREAM, HA HA HA YEAH A DREAM. . . . THEN WHY AM I NOT WAKING UP!?"

As the elevator went down Bonecrusher could not wait for the next cab, he pried the doors open and jumped down onto the top of the elevator cab. With a big bang Stephen was knocked to the floor. The elevator stopped and he rushed out. Running like mad trying to find a way out. Taiya and the others were looking at the monitor to see what the alarm was about, and to Taiya's horror it was her brother. She immediately skated off to stop Bonecrusher form killing him. Frenzy, Rumble, and ravage hearing the alarm went to help bones to get the human intruder. They opted for the vent shafts because bones destroyed the elevator. Bones ripped a whole through the elevator and came crashing down the elevator shaft, realizing he needed some length wielded the spike arm off of his back. And began to swing it at Stephen. Stephen was barely missing his swings now. As Taiya rushed to stop the cons from killing him. She halted at the elevator shaft, realizing that the only cabin was now at the bottom of the shaft no thanks to Bonecrusher. Taiya turned around to look at blackout, and said "THROW ME UP!" Blackout looked confused. "Why?", Taiya responded "THAT'S MY BROTHER UP THERE.". Blackout now startled just agreed and grabbed Taiya's hand and as hard as he could threw her up the elevator shaft to the opening. Blackout headed for his second set of gear to go help Taiya. He was thankful he saved it from when he worked with Spaceshot. Taiya felt like she was flying, but with blackouts perfect throw landed quite gently 2 ft from the drop. She could see bones taking swings at her brother. In a frenzy she skated off to catch bones. Waving her hands at him to get his attention. Stephen on the other hand was the cons attention.

Taiya – "STOP BONECRUSHER! STOP RIGHT NOW!"

Bonecrusher – {obviously not listening} "AAAARRRAAAHHH!" {Swing-crash, swing-crash}

Stephen – "I'M SORRY! PLEASE STOP!"

Bones – "STOP MOVING YOU! I CANT CRUSH YOU IF YOU DON'T STAY STILL!"

Stephen – "AAAAHHHHH!"

Bones – "this will only hurt a second!"

Stephen – "GET AWAY FROM ME!"

Bones – "I don't think so!"

Stephen – {ran until two smaller Decepticons halted his escape} "Oh shit…" ^^;

Frenzy – "where are you going?" {Frenzy said menacingly as he retracted his guns pointing at Stephen}

Rumble – "Yeah" {cracking his knuckles who was joined by the vicious ravage who was growling}

Stephen – {realizing he was trapped fell on the floor and started praying} "oh god, oh god, I am so dead."

Bones – "GOT YA!" {Bones swung is blades down as Taiya now blocked his path}

Taiya – "SSSSTTTTOOOOPPPPIIIITTTT RIIIGHHHHTT NOWW ALL OF YOU!" {Skated ahead of Bonecrusher to block his wrath. Stopping right in front of bones and trying to use herself to block Stephen from being hurt} "DON'T HURT HIM!"

Stephen – {looked up} "Taiya?"

Bones – "WHY!"

Taiya – "HE'S MY BROTHER YOU DUNDER HEAD!"

Rumble – "This is your brother?" {Stephen was very confused, how did these Decepticons know about him}

Taiya – "Yes!"

Frenzy – {putting his guns away} "Ravage stand down!" {Ravage did not back away; he continued to snarl quite fiercely}

Rumble – "RAVAGE." {And with that ravage backed down}

Bones – {going so close to Taiya's face his nose almost touched her forehead} "you are just lucky you have blackout to save your sorry hide."

Taiya – "Go cool your transistors, you lug nut."

Bones - {slammed his hand down by Taiya and then leaving the room in a temper} "STUPID SLAGGING HUMAN, MMMMEEEEGGGGAAAATTTTRRRRROOOOOONNNN!"

Taiya – {turned around to see her brother who looked absolutely confused} "Stephen? Stephen you alright?"

Stephen – "Taiya? Where? Where am I? What's going on?" {Looked to see the tattoos} "What are those!?"

Taiya – {touching her tattoos and bending down to see him eye to eye} "I did something really stupid. I'll explain later. But for now, are you okay?"

Blackout – {flew up the shaft and landed at the ledge} "TAIYA!"

Taiya – "Over here blackout!" {Blackout ran to meet them in the middle of the hall}

Rumble – {barely containing his laughter at proto-blackout. He only had 4 blades and his frame was boxy and his color was rather two toned} "Nice new look…hahaha."

Blackout – "It was the only thing I had."{Stephen looked at the huge transformer and was thinking, how did my sis know his name?}

Then a big crash echoed in the hall and standing at the entry to the elevator shaft was Megatron!

Who had an infuriated look on his face.

- Step 7 - Submission and Stipulation

Megatron – "WHAT IN PRIMUS NAME! IS GOING ON HERE?"

Taiya – "Sir I can explain."

Megatron – {Walked over to them and glared at Stephen, he moved Taiya aside} "Who are you?"

Stephen – {pointed at his chest} "Me?"

Megatron – "Yes you!"

Stephen – "I am Stephen Dalton, Taiya's brother.

Megatron – "Taiya?"

Taiya – "I don't know how he got here. He just showed up."

Blackout – "Its Starscream's stupid machine. Taiya and Stephen are twins; it probably got him mixed up with her."

Megatron – {looking at blackout} "Blackout where is your gear?"

Blackout – "Back with Scorponok near Taiya's home town."

Megatron – "I can't take you seriously looking like a G1 Model, go back and get your stuff and do it fast. But no hurry we will be here a while. At least until Bonecrusher fixes the elevator."

Bones – "ME, WHY IN SPARKS NAME!?"

Megatron – "YOU BROKE IT YOU WASTE OF METAL, THE ONLY REASON WHY I PUT UP WITH YOU, IS BECAUSE BRAWL SAVED YOUR SORRY AFT! AND I DON'T WANT TO WASTE MY TIME AND ENERGY DISMANTLEING YOU! NOW FIX THAT ELEVATOR BEFORE I TURN YOU INTO ONE!"

Bones – {could only agree and accept his new job mumbling on his way down the shaft} "stupid Megatron, bossing me around, he'll see, I bet ….."

Blackout – "Yessir." {Apprehensive about leaving Megatron alone with Taiya and Stephen, had no choice but to fallow his masters orders}

Megatron – "You see bones; Blackout is a soldier worthy of accommodation, NOT LIKE YOU!" {You could hear Bonecrusher groaning}

Frenzy – {always trying to lighten the mood} "So uh, sir, eventful evening wouldn't you say, ha ha ha ."

Megatron – {sat down and crossed his arms} "don't even try it Frenzy"

Frenzy – "Try what?"

Megatron – "I know what you are trying to do, I can see past that attitude of yours."

Frenzy – "Me trying something, don't make me laugh"

Megatron – {Gave him a slanted look and frenzy stopped laughing}

Rumble – "You have the subtlety of an Autobot at a Decepticon rally."

Frenzy – {talking as silently as he could} "I am just trying to cool Megatron down so he doesn't kill Taiya's brother"

Rumble – "Well don't make it so obvious"

Taiya – {grabbed her brothers hand and went to the opposite wall and sat down, also waving to Frenzy and Rumble to join her} "Guys."

Frenzy and Rumble joined her. They pretty much sat in silence. Stephen was the only one that broke the silence amongst the four.

Stephen – {pointed to Megatron} "Taiya, who is that?"

Taiya – "That's Megatron, he is the leader of the Decepticons."

Stephen – "And these guys?"

Taiya – "This is Rumble, Frenzy, and Ravage. They work with a con named sound wave."

Stephen – "what is going on Taiya? How do you know Decepticons?"

Taiya – "I have a lot to explain, but uh….uh…guys help me out."

Rumble – "Blackout thinks your sister is hot." {Rumble said rather casually}

Frenzy – "Rumble!"

Rumble – "Hey it's not my fault Blackout does."

Stephen- "wait, you and that DECEPTICON!"

Taiya – {could only blush and twiddle her fingers through giggles}

Stephen – {thought his head would explode} "No sister of mine is dating a Decepticon."

Frenzy – "I thought you big brothers liked security, what better security then the Decepticons?"

Stephen – 'Well yeah, but one of the similar species."

Frenzy – "No use trying to fight it, its done and gone. Just forget about it."

Stephen – "How do you suppose I do that?"

Frenzy – "I dunno, whatever it is you humans do to let something go."

Stephen – "But." {Stephen could barely believe his ears. he was caught mid sentence by the intercom}

"Megatron sir, no luck on the PET issue. Dirge, Ramjet, and I had no luck at all. It doesn't look like there is a human on this planet that can make the grade. Where are you? You weren't in your command post at the top level."

Megatron – "We are on level 17; Bonecrusher broke the elevator, so you are going to have to fly down."

And in a few minutes three jet transformers now stood in front of the small group. They were known as Dirge {Blue and Black}, Ramjet {Black and red one}, and Thrust {Maroon and Black}. They all had cone like heads and looked just about a mean as Bonecrusher.

Thrust – "Sorry sir, we came up empty on that little excursion."
Megatron – "You can check later, did you get that other thing I ordered?"

Dirge – {Cut in before Thrust could speak} "You bet we did, every code you asked for, we also did something a little bit extra." {Dirge handed Megatron a complete server equivalent of 120,000 computers worth of data}

Megatron – "Excellent job beta team"

Ramjet – "MAN Megatron, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT, THOESE STUPID HUMAN JETS ARE LIKE JELLY, YOU CAN JUST SHEAR RIGHT THROUGH THEM. HAHAHAHAHAHA." {the other jets burst into laughter}

Thrust – "And did you catch the look on their faces while they ran, ha ha ha it was priceless. Their base came down like a stack of energon chips."

Megatron – "This pleases me. Oh have you meet Taiya's brother, I think his name is Steven."

{The three jets turned to face Stephen and Dirge extended his hand, Stephen shook his finger}

Dirge – "Nice to meet ya, if you are as funny as your sister, you can stay."

Thrust – "So is he going to be Blackouts new PET, or what?"

Megatron – "That remains to be undecided. We are waiting for blackout to come back for deliberation."

Thrust – "I see." {Thrust could see past his leader, what he was thinking wasn't pleasant}

Ramjet – "Rumble, I picked this up for you." {Handed Rumble a new video game}

Rumble – "Awesome, thanks Ramjet." {Nudged frenzy} "Ready to get beat."

Frenzy – "I think that's my line. You know that I can hack my way to victory."

Rumble – "we'll see, HOWS THE ELEVATOR COMING BONCRUSHER!?"

Bones – "errahh."

Rumble – "I guess that means no where, WERENT YOU A CONSTRUCTICON?"

Bones – "SHUT IT!"

Dirge – "That was when he had a brain." {That made the other cons laugh}

Ramjet – "And a personality."

Bones – "%^$^&**()%$$ %^*^$#$$" {nonsensable Cybertronian language swears, which only made the Decepticons laugh more, including Taiya who now understood it}

Taiya – {tapped frenzy on the shoulder} "Let's see if I can speak some Cybertronian."

Frenzy – "Just remember to get your t's to echo."

Taiya – "HEY BONES!"

Bones – "What is IT!"

Taiya – "Terroferenist." {Translation = you are a piece of earth scum}

Bones – "RRRRRRAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH" {CRASH} "OUCH!'

The cons just looked at each other and continued in maniacal laughter. Stephen was starting to get uncomfortable, and why was his sis so buddy buddy with them. By the looks of it, she was being held captive here. He had to think of a way to convince Megatron to let his sister go. He made a promise to their dad he would bring her home is something bad happened. And something bad did happen, his sister was so clearly brainwashed she did not know how much in danger she was. He tried to enter the conversation to cool his nerves about challenging the rather tyrannical leader. After 3 hours of waiting, Bonecrusher was done with the fix, although the elevator cab was unsettling to the eye. It looked like an ape built it. During the wait more of the cons came back empty handed. They could not fine a PET. They all kept up with the same stupid excuses, no PET was good enough, too many choices, or I got bored. Lastly Blackout showed up. He looked tired, and rather dented.

Megatron – "When I said hurry, I didn't mean hurt yourself in the process."

Blackout – "Sir, I had no idea a human could be so aggressive on the highway. All I did was start honking my horn like everyone else and some crazy driver backed up into me! Then he started to yell at me, so I uh, slammed on the accelerator andcauseda45carpileup." {Blackout said really fast almost nervously, Scorponok just wanted out, having to deal with Blackouts crazy driving was enough to make the poor beast afraid. Scorponok detached himself from Blackouts back and crawled over to Taiya and laid his head next to her}

Taiya – {started to pet scorpy} "Aww poor thing, what did you do to him Blackout?"

Blackout – "I stayed above the speed posted."

Taiya – "Blackout that is a speed limit."

Blackout – "slag that makes sense now, oh well that's why I fly, no speed limit up there."

Taiya – "Wait, did you just say 45 car pile up?"

Blackout – "Yes why?"

Megatron – "DECEPTICONS SILENCE!" {With that everyone quieted} "COMMAND ROOM NOW!"

Cons & Taiya – "YESSIR!"

- Step 8 - Convictions

Taiya grabbed her brother and everyone headed back up. They headed for one of the top levels. The 29th floor. This was where Megatron had his command chair and could monitor all locations on multiple screens. He also had enough space to speak with his officers. Soundwave and Shockwave were at the command posts, and Starscream was at the computer modifying the TB DNA recognition software. Blackout grabbed both Taiya and Stephen, he knew what was going on, Megatron would put them both on trial. But why? Blackout thought that it would be like last time. But why were all of the cons there? He did not know. He knew however, Megatron was up to something. The others took seats around the edges of the room and Scorponok stayed close to Taiya. The four of them stood in the middle of the room facing Megatron sitting rather deviously. He was drumming his fingers at the edge of the arm rest.

Megatron – "The only reason why I agreed to this is because I want to know just how deep these so called "blood ties" go. Your species has intrigued me, you write poems and songs about love. Your species has written stories and make movies about it, and it is always celebrated February 14th. Your entire culture seems to be permanently fixed on it. And this love comes in two forms, family, and romantic love. They saw that you will do anything for family. Now my question to you Stephen, just how far are you willing to go in order to be with your sister?"

Stephen – "I love my sister; I would do anything for her."

Megatron – "Really. That I have trouble believing."

Stephen – "are you saying I am lying?" {Stephen was starting to get mad}

Megatron – {chuckled a bit} "that's exactly what I think you are doing. I saw you on the monitor screen, running away. You were more interested in getting yourself out, then saving your sister, whom you believed was here. Now if you really did love your sister, wouldn't the correct response be to say "do what you want with me, just let my sister go"?"

Blackout – "Sir is this really…

Megatron – "SHUT UP BLACKOUT!" {Blackout was confused, why was Megatron so angry?} "So am I right?"

Stephen – {very pissed, not only was Megatron insulting him, he was breaking his heart, of course he would, why wouldn't he save his sister in exchange for himself?} "I think you are full of shit!"

{The decepticons all gave each other looks of absolute disbelief, this human was challenging Megatron!}

Megatron – "seeing as you don't quite understand your predicament, I am going to let that one slide. I obviously struck a nerve in you, but I can see, I am clearly right."

Stephen – "NO YOU'RE NOT! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY, I LOVE MY SISTER, AND I AM GOING TO TAKE HER BACK HOME, AWAY FROM YOU!"{Stephen pointed at Megatron}

Megatron – {Started to laugh quite loudly now} "Did you not look at her arm boy!? SHE BELONGS TO ME NOW! SHE IS A DECEPTICON! NO LONGER HUMAN BUT CYBORNETIC. YOUR PITIFUL BLOODTIES AND PRE DISPOSISTIONS NO LONGER MATTER."

Stephen – {feeling like he was loosing the battle kept trying} "I don't care, she was born my sister first, I GET TO DECIDE."

Megatron – "no boy, no you don't. You see we are now the commanders of this world, ALL TRANSFORMERS ALIKE. YOU HUMANS WILL ALL JOIN US SOME DAY. NO MATTER WHAT, YOU WILL ALL HAVE TO CHOOSE THE SIDE YOUR ALLIANCE LIES."

Stephen – {looking at his sister, thinking all the while he was in a nightmare.}

Taiya – "PLEASE STOP IT SIR."

Megatron – "TAIYA! THIS IS BETWEEN YOUR BROTHER AND I. STAY OUT OF IT!"

Taiya – "Yessir."

Megatron – "don't you see how easily I can make her bend to my rules. She probably just wants to make sure I don't kill you. But that's no fun, all I would do is make her angry and then I would have to deal with that later on."

Stephen – "all you are is a tyrant to me, WHO HAS BRAINWASHED MY SISTER INTO ALL OF THIS! I BET THAT LUG KIDNAPPED HER TOO!" {Speaking of blackout}

Blackout – "I assure you I did no such thing." {Lying}

Taiya – "Stephen please, don't say anything more. MEGATRON PLEASE FORGIVE MY BROTHER DOESN'T UNDERSTAND, HE DOESN'T KNOW THE STORY YET!"

Megatron – "which one, how you got here, or how quickly you submitted yourself to me? Oh and there is also the matter of the initiation, OH HOW YOU BEGGED FOR ME TO STOP IT." {Megatron said though fits of laughter} "You humans are all the same, you get pushed enough, and you start to do anything to make it stop."

Stephen – {had just about had enough, he could see taiya was barely keeping in tears} "THAT DOES IT; I AM TAKING HER RIGHT NOW!"

Stephen grabbed taiya and started to go to the door. Megatron looked at Scorponok and pointed towards the twins. Scorponok barricaded their exit and with his tail he picked up taiya and brought her back to Megatron. Who then placed her on his lap. This made Stephen all the more infuriated.

Megatron – "you're free to leave, but SHE STAYS."

Stephen – {through tears} "WHAT GIVES YOU THE GOD DAMNED RIGHT!"

Megatron – "I am Megatron, that's why. You've lost just admit it."

Stephen – "I can't leave here without her, I cant, I MADE A PROMISE!"

Megatron – "Your promises mean nothing boy, nothing at all, have you even thought of what she wants?"

Stephen – "You can't possibly think my sister would choose you and these things over her own family do you?"

Megatron – "Why don't you ask her and find out for your self?"

Stephen – "Taiya, you can't actually want to stay do you?"

Taiya – {looked around the room, and came to the sad conclusion, that since her mom died, this was the closest thing she had to a home.} "I like the decepticons; they treat me different then people."

Stephen – {he thought he was going mental} "what?"

Megatron – "see."

Stephen – "how can you? Why would you? I don't understand, don't you want to come back home with me?"

Taiya – {bit her lip} "I am not like you and dad, I cant just pack up and leave, I HAD A JOB TO DO, I HAD TO FINISH HIGH SCHOOL AND GO TO COLLEGE. BUT THE DAMN STATE TOOK EVERYTHING WHEN SHE DIED, EVERYTHING, I HAD TO GET THREE JOBS JUST TO PAY THE BILLS. I was barely making it, and I never had any real good friends anywhere. People don't like me. But they do."

Stephen – "what? You never told us. You could have moved back to Ireland with me and dad. We offered it to you. But?"

Taiya – "Then what Stephen, relearn an entirely new school system, take a ton of make up classes, and be behind? I couldn't. Then I was brought to this whole other world, and for once in 7 years I AM HAPPY. BECAUSE THEY ACCEPT MY WEIRDNESS THAT EVERYONE ELSE SEEMS TO HATE."

Stephen – "TAIYA STOP LYING FOR HIM."

Taiya – "I'm not, I'm not."

Stephen – {his heart could not believe what he was hearing, the room was positively spinning}

Megatron – "see she doesn't need you anymore or the cruelty of your kind."

Stephen – …

Megatron – "at a loss of words are you?

Stephen – {sort of started to get the joke Megatron was playing, Megatron didn't want Stephens answers, he was just toying with him} "I don't like your sense of humor Megatron, SO STOP BEING AN ASS AND JUST GIVE ME MY SISTER!"

Megatron – "I see there is no bending you, however, you are a twin, and twins share everything, am I right? SINCE YOUR SISTER IS A DECEPTICON, SHE WILL ACCEPT THE PUNISHMENT FOR YOU!" {Megatron grabbed Taiya and held her tightly in his grasp}

Taiya – "AAAAAAAHHHH!"

Megatron – "it would be a shame for me to break every bone in her body, but as I said before, my property my rules!" {Megatron bellowed through evil laughs}

Blackout – "Megatron! PLEASE DON'T!" {still to scared to move, no matter how strong blackout was, Megatron was always better, this thought was one way all Decepticons bowed down in fear of Megatron}

Scavenger – "SIR THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR!"

Frenzy – "Yeah Megatron just let her go!"

Megatron – {loosened his grasp} "Now I ask you a question, EITHER JOIN US, OR YOU NEVER GET TO SEE TAIYA AGAIN!" - - - "you decide."

Taiya – "STEPHEN, JUST LEAVE ME, you don't know what he is asking of you!"

Megatron – "My how quickly, she defends you, willing to give you up, just for your own good. I would say I was impressed, but I am not."

Blackout – {looking at the boy and feeling really rotten, it was his fault, all his fault, if he hadn't been so selfish} "Sir…."

Megatron – "DECIDE, HUMAN OR DECEPTICON?" {Megatron lowered Taiya down back on to his lap, and extended his hand to Stephen}

Stephen – {seeing Taiya coughing violently, realized it was hell both ways. But one hell had his sister, and he still could keep his promise to dad, he would keep Taiya safe, as a fellow Decepticon} "YOU WANT AN ANSWER, FINE, DECEPTICON. I WOULD RATHER BE A DECEPTICON THEN TO LEAVE MY SISTER HERE ALL ALONE. You win.. you win, no more." {Stephen extended his hand to Megatron and the deal was set}

Megatron – "BEING A DECEPTICON IS LIKE BEING A FAMILY, A FAMILY WHERE MY WILL IS LAW, I JUST HAD TO MAKE YOU SEE THAT THERE IS NOW USE IN FIGHTING IT. I HAD TO TEST YOU, TO SEE HOW FAR YOU COULD GO, AND YOU PASSED. I just hope you are ready to do all that I ask, to backstab your entire race, and submit your complete and undeniable self to me."

Stephen – {bowed his head down}

Megatron – "Then welcome Decepticon Stephen."

Taiya looked at her brother in positive disbelief. Some of the Decepticons were already greeting Stephen and blackout just stood completely dumbstruck. He did not know what to say or do. She knew what was coming, a long painful surgery. She veered over to see Shockwave looking just as sinister as before. All the while thinking, "Why did I take that damn cube?"

-{end}

Not real end, just end of chapter. Lol
