9 – It Begins
The warp gate was set.
Alexis sat on a rock outside of her house, waiting for when they would arrive. Starscream had got a call from the Autobots, saying they will also come at the prearranged time of an hour.
The 'con in question was sitting next to her. He had his head in his hands, as if trying to decide on something. She could see the concentration of his thoughts, simply by how tense he was. Was it because the Autobots were coming? Or was it because she was here, and that when Unicron does strike, would he want her there in harms way?
What was she [i]thinking?[/i] How could she think that he even cared for her? He might like her, but any kind of other feeling would be preposterous. It was simply unheard of, a human and a transformer as more than friends. [i]Why[/i] did he have to turn into such an attractive human? He acted so cute in that brief span of time and she wasn't sure if she could break the new fondness for the transformer, even if he bellowed at her he hated her and wished her dead.
But, what did he[i] really[/i] think of her?
Did he think of her as a petty human who just helped him because she was too soft for her own good? She wanted to know, but she was afraid of the answer. Was this what plagued Starscream right now, as they sat waiting for the other transformers?
Was it this, which had made him nervous when she laughed only a short while ago?
She didn't know. She wanted to know.
But she was afraid…
'Man oh man, why can't I have a normal life?!' Starscream shouted in his mind.
He hated the confusion inside his head. It was all directed at the human next to him, and he hated it.
He sneaked a glance at the female. She too, looked confused and tense, as though she was reeling off the information about him, as he was her.
'Primus this is raving mad!' Starscream yelled agitated in his head. No, he couldn't have a normal life. He had to have one that was twisted and confusing didn't he?
A sob alerted him back to the present. He looked down to find Alexis looking sad and confused. And afraid…
"What's up?" He asked, startling Alexis. She looked up at the big bot and said softly, "I dunno."
Starscream shook his head at the odd response and turned back to the warp gate. It was almost time …
He stretched, his joints creaking slightly like muscles would crack and stood up, saying, "It's almost time."
Alexis stood too just as the warp gate opened.
Many transformers came out. Optimus, Hotshot, Red Alert, Scavenger, Jetfire, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, Blurr, Hoist, Demolisher, Cyclonus – the whole crew. Plus two seekers like Starscream and three larger transformers, all purple with white and gold highlights. The Minicons arrived as well, just when Rad and Carlos (Alexis called them earlier) joined the rallying point. He yelled in delight as Sureshock and Highwire come rushing over to greet the two boys and the same for Alexis. She had Grindor in a circuit-crushing hug.
Swindle came wandering over with a *Beep* and Starscream picked him up.
"Hey there Swindle!" Starscream said and the Minicon beeped in response, happy to see his partner again.
"SREAMER!" A purple and black blur smashed into Starscream in a very over enthusiastic hug. Poor Starscream almost fell over as the slightly shorter seeker beamed at him.
"C'mon 'Warp, lay off him will ya?" Said the blue seeker who Alexis recognized as Thundercracker.
"Hello everyone!" The boys had gone over to the others and greeted them.
"So [i]this[/i] is Skywarp." Alexis said coming over to the three seekers.
"Yeah, this is he. Hey c'mon get off me now man!" Starscream tried to get out of his brothers titanium grip but he wouldn't budge. He gave up and let his arms fall limp at his sides. Alexis laughed and TC noticed her. He bent down to talk to her.
"Hello." He said, "You must be smart to re-build Screamer's body!" He held out his hand and Alexis jumped on. He held her up and she said, "A lot of people did it, not just me!"
"Modest huh?" He said, smiling. She blushed in reply.
"Who are they?" Alexis asked, pointing to the new transformers.
"Well, Astrotrain is the one with the giant jet engines on his legs. He can transform into a space shuttle and a hover train and Blitzwing is the one with seeker wings. The other one is Octane and he can transform into a Semi truck or a jet. The Decepticon Triple changers." Thundercracker announced.
"Wow! How cool!" Alexis said as she watched the three talk.
"SKYWARP GET THE SLAGGING HELL OFF ME!!!" Starscream lived up to his name as he screamed as loud as possible; being sure to make stars shake.
Skywarp shoved his hands over his audio receptors as Starscream lurched over in exhaustion from screaming so loud.
"Blimey there's no need to yell like that!" He said mortally crushed at being yelled at.
Starscream snarled and ran after the poor seeker, only to be following air as Skywarp teleported.
Thundercracker laughed and said to Alexis, "Skywarp's special ability is – as you probably guessed – " Starscream ran around after his brother, who continued to teleport " – teleportation."
"They [i]really[/i] like each other don't they?" Alexis said as Starscream finally caught his brother and tackled him, now locked in a furious wrestling match with a few other bots cheering them on.
TC chuckled and put Alexis back on the ground, saying, "I better break 'em up."
He transformed into an almost identical jet to Starscream and soared at the two, breaking them away from each other.
"TC?!" Skywarp whined from the ground.
"You need to grow up." The disgruntled red seeker grumbled, rubbing his head.
When everyone had settled down, Optimus called everyone to attention. He had never been part of another leader like roll after the previous battle with Unicron and had come back to Cybertron less than a year ago. He had told everyone that he wanted to just live life to the fullest, and he said that if the time came to when he would be called to duty, he would accept.
So now was the time.
"Okay, we all know why where here. Unicron has lived and is coming to earth as we speak. You all know what is at stake. I don't know how he could have come back after Galvatron sacrificed himself to save us, but he has. And we can only destroy him by matching his powers of darkness with our own light. For our freedom!"
He threw his fist into the air and the other transformers followed suit with a roar of battle for freedom.
Suddenly, the sky grew darker. Everyone looked up and saw the tell tale signs of Unicron's coming.
Alexis' stone glowed faintly…
_____________________________________________________________
*Sniff* only 2 reviws? Oh well! I hope this is good enough. In case you were wondering, I made Skywarp seem a bit more childish because I thought it would be an amusing contrast to his 'big bro' Screamer. Tell me what you think!
Also, I [i]had[/i] to add the tripples! I love them so much I couldnt leave them out of the story. So I gave them an Armada makeover. I might draw some pics at a later date.
So this is it! The big battle is about to begin! Will they ever get together? And what of Uinicron's last ten years? What's the grand poobah been up to? All answers and more in the next chapter of Forbidden feelings!
