Author's note:
Thanks guys for all the reviews, it really made me happy. Sorry for the long wait, but I made an extra long chapter to make it up to you. I've finished college now (Woohoo!) so the only thing which will slow me down is writers block. I love the reviews guys, don't stop them but I'm going to have to just mention a few of them next time because I don't think I'll be able to reply to all of them. I'll only post the ones which stands out and touches my heart. But thanks you SO MUCH! I love reading them. I also love the favourite and follows. You guys rock!
I need your guys help. Do you think or should change the summary to this?
New version
I learnt from a young age that life is not fair. But why am I the one sent to the Transformers world? Sure, I'm a fan but this is bad. I suppose I'm sent there to help them in someway. But they didn't count on one thing, I'm not a good person. Oh well, I guess there's nothing left to do but to go along for the ride.
Old version:
I know I'm not a good person. I'm a bit of a transformers fan and I'm also an assassin. So it's not good when military men start knocking at my door at 1:00AM demanding that I need to go with all started with that stupid time machine, I knew it was trouble. Life likes to throw things at me but nothing like this. I guess I just got to tag along on the ride.T cuz I'm paranoid
Which one is better? I need to know. Please review and say.
TheGhost129: Man.. I kinda hating on Ironhide now..
And Thanks for loving meh reviews *enter heart here*
Yeah, I'm making him act like a jerk a bit because he's paranoid. He'll warm up to her though. No Problem, I love reviews, especially when it shows they've read it.
movielover123456: WOW! I really love this story. It was a nice long chapter and it really had a lot going on. I really do love this story and I cannot wait for an update :)
First of all thanks :) I'm glad you enjoyed it and that I done the right amount of words in the chapter. Now I can't stop smiling because of your review. I will try to update ASAP but blame writer's block for now.
Scarecrowlovinggirl98: Awesome chapter! I was soooo happy when this chapter popped up. Let me tell you that I nearly laughed my pants of when Vi and Hide had their "friendly chat" VI! VS HIDE! LOL!
Thanks. I'm glad a new chapter made you happy. I really enjoy writing it (especially in this chapter) and I can't wait to update to see what people reviewed. Maybe I should do a chapter when Vi and Hide actually fight? lol. I wonder who would win.
Demigod Princess Of The Sea: Ha! Awesome! Please Continue!
Thanks for reviewing. I'm glad you think it's awesome (so do I!) Don't worry, I'll never give up on this story.
Shannon the chameleon: brilliant chappie i absolutely love Vi she is just so funny
Awww... Thanks, I'm really glad you like my character. I wasn't sure if I was portraying her right.
Guest: Awesome! Please keep updating!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I'll update as soon as I can.
Storylovers91: haha this story is really interesting! I like how she is herself and quite cocky. I think this story is going to be interesting and it will be fun to follow it.
I'm happy you found it interesting. I wanted her to be realistic. She is a little cocky because she is fully confident in her capabilities but I thought it would add character to her and make her more likeable. I plan on making big twists in the future to make it even more interesting.
Rebecca13787: :) XD I love this story! Update soon!
Thanks, I love this story too. i don't even know myself what will happen. But I love to do twists so keep your eyes peeled. I'll try to update soon.
WingBladeWeaver1357: Oooo A little Hide and Vi moment... even though 'Hide is still suspicious... The Weapon Specialists or aka tough guy are always hard to convinced? Heh, probably their nature... XD
Go Vi! You can escape! :D
Update soon ;)
Yeah, there's always that one awkward person who is hard to convinced. I wanted to be realistic. I don't think everyone should trust her so easily, especially the tough guy. It's in their nature. Don't worry, I have something better planned ;) Sorry for the long wait.
Chapter 5
BANG!
I'm immediately woken with a start. My training and instincts kick in immediately making me roll off my concrete bed and land, with me crouching low my daggers out. I look around my surroundings to see no one else in my cell.
"SIDESWIPE!"
The whole base rattles and my steady feet keep me from falling. I look over to the guards whose attention is not on me, so they didn't see me draw my weapons. I quietly put it away back in my belt before walking forward to the bars of my cell. It has the same blue shield around so I can't get too close.
"What the heck?" asks one guard opening a door to the corridor.
I can barely see the door from my position but it's enough for me to see the door open. I catch a glimpse of something speeding by in a flash of sliver before a blur of black and pink speeds by with curses shouting around the base.
"You better be praying to Primus I don't catch you because if I do..." shouts Ironhide with a few colourful words added in the end.
My mouth barely twitches up in a smirk as amusement floods me. I hope Sideswipe took pics because I would of loved to see what he's done with Ironhide's face. The guards look confused while others laugh, use to the pranks by now. I resist the urge to snicker with them and I turn around and start my stretches before doing some exercise.
It's not long until I'm called in and I'm back in the same interrogation room again. I sit with my legs up on the table with my hands behind my head in a relaxed stance. Lennox and Epps enter the room as before along with a grumpy Ironhide holoform, muttering profanities under his breath. Another person enters the room. A dirty blonde who look young, 21 at the most with electric blue eyes, strolls in with a huge grin, looking pretty pleased with himself. Obviously, Sideswipe. He's followed by a grumpy man about middle age, his hair brown with hints of grey in them, while the others are muscly, he's more tall and lean. A medical white coat instead of the usual military uniform is on him. It another Autobot because of the electric blue eyes. Ratchet by the looks of it. Prime enters next in his holoform, taller and broader than the rest. Even in his holoform I have to resist sitting straight with my feet down. They seem to stick to the edges of the room this time, by the walls.
"Pleasant recharge?" I ask Ironhide, oh so innocently, earning a snicker from Sideswipe.
A growl emits from Ironhide making me smirk. He opens his mouth to retort but Prime's look cuts him off and he turns slightly, grumbling. Unfortunately, my amusement does not last long as a government official waltz in like he owns the place.
"I'm Mr Nobleman," states the bald man, his nose high acting like he's so mighty and important. His brown eyes looking down a me.
I don't grace him with a reply. I give him a look which says, 'Is that suppose to mean something?'
This seems to annoy him but to his credit, he shook it off pretty quickly. Another man walks in with a platter. He places it in front of me and takes off a lid revealing some steak and salad along with water. This time I give him a look which said, 'Are you serious?' To be honest some of the Autobots faces looked the same.
"I think the way you've been treated so fair is terrible. I mean so far you haven't done anything wrong really. And there's a way to turn this around. Just tell us what we want to know," proposes Mr Nobleman.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" I question insulted.
He looks completely shocked before he asks, "What do you mean?"
"You're trying to butter me up and bribe me for information I don't have and..." I trail off, picking up the drink and sniffing it before I continue, "...You're trying to either drug me up or it's some sort of truth pill which has dissolved into the drink."
He laughs! Out of all things, laughs!
"My dear, it seems like someone has an active imagination. I just want to know who you work for? The Chinese? The Japanese? Russians? Spain?" questions Mr Nobleman.
My eyes narrow at his persistence and annoyance.
"I explained before. I don't work for anyone," I answer truthfully.
"Come on now, Miss Sedis. If you tell us we will be able to get you some privileges," continues Mr Nobleman determined.
Sure I could make up some lie and say I'm a say for north korea or something and start World War 3 but I prefer not to.
"I already have an agreement that I can have privileges," I explain.
The man's face goes red with anger as he grits his teeth. His main and maybe only idea has been blown. He seems to try a different tactic.
"What do you know of the Japanese?" questions Mr Nobleman.
"Anime. Manga. Sushi," I list off, hiding a smirk as his face grow angry and annoyed.
"They do great food over there. You should visit," I continue sarcastically.
He growls before slamming his hand down trying to intimidate me.
"Listen here lady. I can have you locked away before you can even blink and I'll make sure you'll never see the light of day again. Do you understand?" growls Mr Nobleman, a vein on his head looking like it's going to burst. I put my feet down and lean forward.
"Maybe you're right," I purr picking up the glass of water.
"I mean why draw this out any longer right?" I ask in a soft, gentle tone.
The effect is how I expected. He looks hypnotised as he leans forwards, the idiot. Letting his lust and ego blind him.
"I mean, if I could get privileges, then why should I resist?" I purr putting a finger under his greasy chin.
"Um...er...well...Exactly," stammers Mr Nobleman whose face is bright red.
I keep my eyes on Mr Nobleman, knowing that if I look away, he may snap out of it so I couldn't see the Autobots reaction.
"You know, Mr Nobleman. I bet you're a man of power..." I continue and he nods, before I purr, "...and I bet you can do whatever you want, hmmm?"
Mr Nobleman nods again. He's completely where I want him. With grace, and speed, I grab the plate with the hot steak and shove it down him top making him scream.
"Well, you can stuff that power and your threats where the sun don't shine. I don't take well to threats, do you understand?" I seethe throwing the cold water in his face as he shouts and screams.
I'm immediately pulled back by Ironhide and Lennox while Sideswipe laughs behind his hand. The man sarts shouting curses as he burns with Epps trying to guide him out.
"Careful, that's not the type of language you should use in front of a lady," I comment resulting in the scolded man yelling at me.
Epps has to restrain him as he dives for me. Lennox shouts for the guards and he's escorted out. Once, he's out, I hear his shouts loud and clear using colourful language about me. Next, everyone looks at me. Ironhide is glaring at me (surprise, surprise,) Epps looks pretty confused and dazed, Lennox looking at me annoyed since it's probably made his job harder. Ratchet is well...looking grumpy, mumbling things under his breath. Sideswipe looks at me with amusement like I've helped him with a prank. And Prime...well he looks slightly annoyed but he looks at me with disappointment like he expected more. It made me look away, feeling slightly bad. The kind of feeling you get when you've done something to disappoint your parents. I quickly shove that feeling away, feeling nothing.
"Guys, I know you love to touch me whenever you get the chance, but you can let go now," I comment sarcastically.
Lennox lets me go immediately, looking a little embarrassed while Ironhide growls, squeezing my arm a little before letting it go. I sit back down, cross legged.
"Any reason why you decided to stuff a hot steak down a government official top?" questions Lennox.
"I said I don't take well to threats," I answer off casually.
"Well I say that punk deserves it. Calling us robots and demanding weapons from us," comments Sideswipe feeling insulted.
"Sideswipe, he may of had that coming to him but that doesn't mean it's right," scolds Ratchet.
"That isn't important right now. We need to get down to business," says Prime, stealing everyone's attention.
"We have your results on your test, announces Lennox.
"And?" I question a little eager.
After this I can be free, well partly free.
"You're checked out. Everything came back true," answers Lennox.
I nearly sigh in relief.
"So can I get my stuff back?" I question with a bit of hope in my voice.
I can't wait to get out of these clothes and put my suit back on.
"No," answers Lennox.
Wait? What?
"We had a deal," I say, narrowing my eyes at him.
"We need more, we need evidence," states Lennox.
I don't have any though. I guess it's time for the waterworks. I look down and my shoulders start shaking and trembling.
"E-evidence? Isn't my word enough?" I cry, tears pricking the edge of my eyes as I start hiccuping.
"Er..." says Ironhide stumped.
"Oh gee. No, don't cry, please?" begs Epps as I sniff.
Everyone looks at each other in panic. Even Prime doesn't know what to do.
"All-all I want to do is go-o home and have a bath a-and a nice bed. I w-want to sleep and not get chased by red eyed maniacs a-and not get harassed by big meanies. Is-is that too much to ask?" I sob, making them panic more.
"Um...sir? What do we do?" questions Ratchet looking anxious.
"Umm...Lennox?" asks Prime, knowing, Lennox knows more about humans.
"Geez. I don't know. It's a crying woman, don't we give her ice cream or something?" suggests Lennox as he looks at Epps.
"Now you're trying to make me fat!" I sob, bursting into more tears.
"No! No! We've just-" starts Epps but he's interrupted.
"Guys, She's faking," states a woman's voice over the intercom.
They all freeze as a smirk overtakes my face. I may have been found out but that was worth the looks on their faces. They all look gobsmacked and embarrassed as I try so hard not to laugh. It's not long before those looks turn to glares and unimpressed shakes of the head. Man, they do look pretty mad.
"I'll take that ice cream now," I say a little awkwardly.
"Oh no, wouldn't want you getting fat," growls Ironhide.
I was going to retort about how I bet he would like me to keep my figure but now didn't seem like the right time so for once, I wisely kept my mouth shut.
"So do you really have no evidence?" questions Prime.
I sigh before answering, "No, I travel really light, I only keep a few things..." I trail off remembering what I have. I do have proof. I have proof!
"I need my motorbike," I announce, standing up.
"No," states Ironhide firmly, making me roll my eyes.
He'll disagree with whatever I say.
"If you want evidence, you'll let me go to my bike," I press firmly.
They all look at each other unsure probably because of my last stunt.
"Do you want proof or not?" I question trying to persuade them.
Finally Prime nods before speaking.
"Lennox, can it be accessed?" asks Prime turning to Lennox.
"Yes, it shouldn't be a problem, Prime," answers Lennox respectfully.
"Let's go then," I say walking around the table.
Surprisingly, none of them made a grab for me, even Ironhide.
"No arm grabbing?" I ask with one eyebrow up in suspicion and confusion.
"I believe you co-operate better when you don't feel like a prisoner. However, all of us will be around you so you can't make a run for it," explains Prime.
That seems reasonable. I give a nod and Prime leads the way out with Lennox. I go next with Ironhide and Sideswipe beside me. Behind me is Ratchet and Epps so I'm basically guarded all around. I'm swiftly escorted down a few corridors memorizing them as I walk past.
I'm led to a room with lots of cabinets to hold evidence in. At the end is a small room which has evidence in which is too big for a cabinet, like my motorbike for example. I allow a small grin to grace my lips as I see it. It has a few dents in and it's looks dirty. The once shiny purple and black colours are now faded but it's nothing I can't fix. I walk over and lightly trace my finger over my precious bike. It's one of a kind. I've had this bike for years. It represents my freedom. I stole it directly from Michael Despiadado himself. I give the tiniest of grins as I remember what happened but before I could have a walk down memory lane, I'm interrupted.
"We got your vehicle, now what?" questions Ironhide impatiently.
"Yeah, when the team searched your bike they found a secret apartment and that only held money and a few wigs," comments Epps.
"That was the top compartment. A cover one," I explain.
They look at me as I lift the seat up before lifting the bottom pane. It was pretty empty since they've taken everything for evidence.
"So a secret compartment in a secret compartment?" questions Sideswipe.
"Yes, I knew it would look weird if I had nothing in the cover secret compartment so I put all the least important things in the top one," I explain, moving my assassin suit so I can get to what's underneath it.
I itch to get my suit back on, but I resist, mainly because there are other people in the room. My eyes spot the object I desire so I pick it up immediately.
"Here," I say turning around.
Everyone looks gobsmacked and shocked as a few gasps leave their mouths.
Sideswipe is the first to get over as he reaches over and grabs one of the Transformers DVD out of my hand.
"Let me see. Am I on the cover?" asks Sideswipe eagerly.
Epps goes next grabbing the second DVD as eager as Sideswipe.
"Yo, I better be somewhere on the cover after everything I've been through," states Epps while Lennox looks over his shoulder.
I look over to Prime and his face is neutral however it does have a hint of confusion and shock. I walk over to him boldly with the final DVD until we're face to face. Even though I'm naturally tall and even more with high heels on, he is still taller than me, just by a bit.
"Prime...Optimus, I know I am a lier. I admit it, I've done things I'm not proud of but I would never lie to an Autobot, especially you," I say handing him the DVD.
He takes it staring down at it, looking intently at it. Maybe to see if it's fake or something. I can't tell if he believes me or not. Normally, I can read people's facial expression but this time, I can't. All I can tell is that he's concentrating, thinking hard.
"As sad as it is, you were one of the people I looked up to as a child. You have millions of fans. A lot people saw you as a role model, a father figure and stuff. Especially if people who didn't have a father. You...you're inspirational," I say looking away awkwardly.
This is so embarrassing. It's a weakness. I'm displaying weakness, this is so stupid. Prime turns his gaze on me making me uncomfortable.
"Why are you telling me this?" questions Prime curiously.
"Because...you deserve to know and it's what any fan would do," I answer in discomfort, averting my gaze, looking any where but at him.
Unfortunately, there isn't much to look at so I take a chance and steal a glance so see him looking at me with a small smile, making me even more uncomfortable. Before anyone of us can continue the conversation someone else speaks.
"Hey, where am I?" questions Sideswipe looking at the back cover.
"That's the first movie. You wasn't even on earth then," I answer, looking at him.
"Hey! We're on the back cover," states Lennox happily.
"So two more movies? That means two more big fights to come, doesn't it?" questions Epps.
"What?" I ask with dread filling me as I begin to feel uneasy.
"Well with Megatron dead, there hasn't really been any big fights, so it must mean something's going to happen," answers Epps making me come to realization.
If Megatron's still dead and there hasn't been any big battles then this means it must be between the first and second movie, which made me realize something.
They can't read it.
I snatch the movie out of Prime's hand and snatch a gun from a nearby solider, throwing the DVD in the air in line with the other DVD that Epps is holding. I shoot at it repeatedly along with the DVD in Epps' hands which was thankfully away from himself. Almost immediately, Ironhide and a close by guard hold me down as they take away the gun. I let them take me to my knees. I don't care if I get in trouble for that. It was worth it. They can't read what's going to happen. They might try to prevent it and if they do, who know's what'll happen next. At least this way, I know if the Autobots will win.
"Are you crazy?!" exclaims Lennox in shock and anger as I surrender.
I look over to the DVD's to see it completely destroyed.
"You could of killed me!" shouts Epps as I look down, my hands behind my back.
"But she didn't," comments Sideswipe stealing everyone's attention but he directs his attention to me.
"You could of shoot any one of us and tired escaping but you didn't. You shoot the DVD's, why?" questions Sideswipe.
"It doesn't matter," I say looking away.
Everyone looks at each other confused and I begin speaking again.
"Ok. Let's make a deal. You let me go and I will never say anything about this," I purpose.
"No way," replies Lennox.
"Why not? I know you give some people hush money and they sign a contract to keep quiet. Why can't you do that with me?" I question still on my knees, restrained as i look down.
"You're a criminal," replies Epps.
"Then kill me," I order, making everyone look at me in surprise.
"What?" questions Lennox along with a few others.
"How can we do that?" asks Epps.
"I thought you would jump at the chance. Especially you Ironhide," I comment.
"Why should I kill you?" asks Ironhide suspiciously.
"I'm a liability. I know too much. I don't even exist so it will be easy to cover up. No one will miss me. Just shoot me," I explain, my head low.
"Don't you have any family?" questions Lennox with pity.
"No and even if I did, they wouldn't give a damn," I answer numbly.
"I'm sure that's not true," replies Lennox softly.
"The only regret they would have is not pulling the trigger," I say feeling hollow and empty.
They all look at each other unsure what to do or say. Some like Lennox who's a family man look at me with pity. I hate pity.
"Just get it over with," I say keeping my head low.
I close my eyes, wishing they would shoot me already. I'm a liability. If I told the Decepticons what will happen in the future, the Autobots will lose. Game over. A few seconds go by and I open my eyes, looking up.
"What? None of you want to do it? Then I will," I state darkly.
I flip one solider over my shoulder knowing I won't be able to flip Ironhide over my other shoulder, setting one hand free. That's all I need. I regain the gun as I hear shouts of protests. Ironhide tries to get the gun away from me but I push him away, rolling. I quickly put the gun to my temple ready to shoot. This way I'll die instantly. Before I know what's happening, I'm tackled by Sideswipe's holoform making me drop the gun. We both wrestle on the ground for the gun. I see Ratchet trying to reach for the gun as the others go towards us. I think quickly, pushing Sideswipe into Ironide and I kick the gun so it slides in between Ratchet's feet landing behind him. I quickly run and slide in between Ratchet's feet as they're wide apart and I'm quite slim. I grab the gun but it's kicked out of my grip by Lennox. I flip backwards quickly, picking the gun up as I land but I'm grabbed behind by Prime, who twists the gun out my hand, making me drop it before he kicks it away while he restrains me.
"Damn girl! We got to keep guns away from you," comments Epps.
"Why won't you just let me die?" I question.
It doesn't make any sense. I'm a huge liability. This mess will be sorted out if I was gone.
"Because life is precious. It shouldn't be thrown away," replies Prime who is still restraining me.
"You don't even know me though," I comment.
"That doesn't matter. Every single life is precious, no matter whose it belongs to," states Prime.
"That's not true. What about people like Megatron?" I point out, making everyone tense, including Prime who I feel tense behind me.
"Everyone deserves a chance of redemption. But if that person is too far gone and if millions of lives are at stake. Then we have no choice but to offline the mech," explains Prime.
I suppose that's true depending on one's views.
"Can you let me go?" I ask looking down.
"Are you going to attempt to offline yourself?" questions Prime.
"No. Though I don't think you've made a wise decision in keeping me online," I answer, using terms they are familiar with.
He releases his hold on me and I step forward turning to face him.
"On the contrary, I think it was a wise choice," replies Prime with a small smile.
"And why's that?" I ask curiously.
"We've seen your skills in action. I think you'll be a great asset to our team," answers Prime.
My eyes widen in shock and surprise. As does many others in the room.
"Prime, you can't be serious?!" exclaims Ironhide, voicing my thoughts.
"Of course, she'll be watched closely. There's no need to worry Ironhide. But I would like to believe that you could earn our trust in time," offers Prime.
"No thanks. I refuse to be tied to a government agency. I follow my own rules," I reply.
"Not even if the mission you'll be doing is locating the machine?" questions Prime.
Ok. I have to actually stop and think about that. I need to destroy the machine. That was my original mission, but there's no way I'm going to be tied down.
"No, I won't join your team. However, I am a free agent and I won't mind if you temporary employ me for my talents," I answer.
"I suppose that would be ok but the same rules apply. An escort but only when you're outside your room and the rec room, medbay, motorbike, etc," explains Lennox.
"I can live with that. But I don't answer to anyone so don't expect me to not punch any arrogrant officials if they treat me like dirt," I warn.
Lennox nods in agreement as well as Prime.
"We'll go over what the plan of action is later. We all deserve to have a break. We'll have to rearrange some schedules but I think we'll be able to a meeting about this in two days time," states Lennox.
"Two days time? This should be top priority. You don't understand. This person knows how to work the machine. They could transport anything over here, weapons, an army even! And if the machine can do time travel than they can rewrite history," I say, stressing how important it is.
"Well I suppose we can get a meeting in about 6 hours, at 1:00AM," suggests Lennox and I nod gratefully.
"Now, that's sorted out, Sideswipe I want you to escort Miss Sedis to her room," says Prime.
"Actually I would like to examine Miss Sedis. There could be many side effects from traveling to one dimension to the next," announces Ratchet.
I think I actually paled a bit. A medical exam from the Hatchet? No thanks.
"No offense, Ratchet. But I and only I, give myself a medical examination. That's how it's always been and how it's going to be," I say backing away a little.
"Nonsense. You can't do a deep thorough scan and see any deep rooted problems," protests Ratchet.
"But I know how I feel and I feel fine," I insist stepping back.
"But you may not be able to feel the problem, or the effects," says Ratchet.
"I'll be sure to tell you if I think my arm is going to drop off," I comment.
I see Ratchet's holoform blink out and I hear stomps behind me where the open door is.
"I can't get in trouble for running away from a medical exam, can I? Because I know you all try to skip yours, even Prime," I say.
"No, but you'll be in trouble with the Hatchet," comments Sideswipe as we all see Ratchet, waving his wrench outside.
"It's worth it," I state before running to my motorbike, revving the engine before shooting off, going in between Ratchet's feet, escaping quickly before he starts chasing after me
"GET BACK HERE!"
This may be the start of something or the end of something else. Should I continue this chase? Or should I abandon this ride? Get off before I crash. It doesn't look like I have much of a choice. I'm strapped down and forced to stay. But I'll escape. I'll find a way to take control of this ride. I'll decide what to do. I'll make everything go back to black and white. No one controls me but I'll do what you say for now. I'll play along but know this. You can't have control over me. So keep that in mind because I may not be on your side forever. But for now, I'll see where this takes me.
