Love Beyond Memories : Phase 4
By Gina-chan
Megatron's lair loomed in front of us, as we drew closer and
closer. This was my last hope. If this didn't bring back Jetstorm's
memories…nothing would.
"Are…we
almost there?" I asked Optimus, stopping to catch my breath. We had been
running the whole way.
"Not to much
farther," he replied. I nodded, and we were on our way again.
"Here we
are," Optimus said, stopping in front of Megatron's lair. "Are you ready?" he
asked.
"Yes," I
nodded solemnly. "You have the…uh…the thingy that brings back memories,
right…?" I asked, confused. Optimus smiled.
"Yes, I do,"
he said.
"Then…let's
go!!" I said, pointing at the entrance.
"Actually, I
was planning to sneak in the back. That way we can sneak in and have the upper
hand," explained Optimus.
"Oh," I said,
lowering my arm.
"This way,"
Optimus motioned me to follow. I walked behind him as he went around to the
back of the building.
"There," he
said, pointing to a door that blended in nicely with the wall. I wouldn't have
noticed it if Optimus hadn't pointed it out. I went up to it and pressed a
button on the side of the door. The door slid open.
"Well, that
was easy," I shrugged. An alarm suddenly started blaring.
"Or not,"
Optimus replied. I smacked my forehead.
"So much for
sneaking in," I said.
"Come on!"
Optimus said, bounding inside. I quickly ran after him. We made our way down a
dark hallway. Optimus skidded to a stop.
"Right or
left?" he asked me.
"Uh…uh…LEFT!"
I screamed. We started running again. The loud, ear-splitting alarm was still
sounding. Why hadn't anyone responded? I soon got my answer.
"Well, well.
Lookie what we've got here. The monkey and the Organic," Thrust said, blocking
the way for us.
"W-we don't
have time to fight you!" I said from behind Optimus.
"What's the
big hurry, huh? Lookin' for Jetstorm? He's right there," Thrust said, pointing
behind me. I turned around slowly. There Jetstorm hovered, arms crossed.
"Looking for
me?" Jetstorm said, cocking his head. I backed up against Optimus.
"Uh, Optimus?
Now would be a good time to use that thing that Rattrap gave you…" I said,
tension in my voice. Optimus quickly slipped the machine into my hand.
"Please
work…" I muttered. Jetstorm looked curiously at the object in my hands.
"Remember,
near the spark," Optimus whispered to me.
"Which would
be…where?" I asked quickly.
"His back,"
Optimus replied quickly.
"What was
dat?" Thrust questioned, moving closer towards Optimus. I took my opportunity.
"So
Jetstorm…remember anything about me yet?" I asked, slowly moving closer to him.
"There's
nothing to remember," Jetstorm replied harshly.
"I think
there is," I said, running around to his back. Jetstorm tried to turn, but he
was too slow. I held the machine up. It flew out of my hand, and attatched
itself to his back. Where his spark is, I hope…
"W-what…are…you…doing…to
me?!" Jetstorm exclaimed, trying to reach the thing on his back, but to no
avail. Optimus and Thrust watched, amazed at what they were seeing. A bright
light surrounded Jetstorm. I shielded my eyes. What was happening? Was this
normal? The light dimmed. I blinked. There seemed to be two figures surrounded
in the light. On was distinctively Jetstorm…and the other…was a human figure! I
gasped, covering my mouth, as the light disappeared. The human crumpled to the
ground, and Jetstorm just hovered there, confused. I ran and kneeled next to
the human. Could it be…? I looked down at his face. Yes! It was Jetstorm, in
his human form! I smiled.
"What just
happened here?" Optimus asked.
"Precisely
what I want to know," Thrust said.
"Rattrap said
there would be side effects…" I trailed off.
"So does he
have his memories back, or doesn't he?" Optimus said.
"I think
Jetstorm spilt into two beings, one being the Vehicon you see here, and two
being the hu-…Organic. I'm guessing the memories that Jetstorm shared with me
are all in the Organic Jetstorm now," I explained.
"I'm totally
lost…," Thrust said.
"Wow…" was
all Optimus could say.
"I'm not sure
what's going on here, but I'm sure Megatron will be able to clear it up!" the
Vehicon Jetstorm yelled, grabbing my arm. "Now you'd better come with us,
Optimus. You wouldn't want your organic friends to get hurt…" Optimus glared at
Jetstorm.
"Thrust! Get
the other Organic!" Jetstorm ordered. Thrust nodded, grabbing the human
Jetstorm. Jetstorm pulled me down the hallway, towards a familiar room.
"Please…stop…let
me go…" I begged.
"Not likely,"
Jetstorm said, opening the door and pulling me in. Optimus and Thrust followed.
"Well, boss,
caught the intruders and found a new Organic," Jetstorm reported.
"Excellent,"
Megatron said, coming out of the shadows to face us. "You Organics never
learn," Megatron said to me.
"Just let me
go home!" I replied.
"And how were
you planning to do that? Come back the way you came? You came through a one-way
portal, I'm afraid. And I'm the only on on this world that knows how to create
portals."
