"Brina! Brina, phone for you!"
The calls of her mother roused Brina from her now all-too-frequent reveries. Now she seemed to recall a long time ago, fighting in some kind of battle to stop an unspeakable evil alongside some large robot. These times of quiet seemed to come around much more frequently now that Neil had shown up. Was it just chance, or was Neil somehow making them stronger?
"Hey, Brina."
"Neil! What is it?"
"Can you get out today and meet me at the observatory outside of town? There's something there you and I need to check out."
"Um...Yes, I think so--but..."
"Good. Meet me there at 3 o'clock sharp, okay."
"Okay, Neil. See you then."
At 3 o'clock sharp, Brina and Neil met at the observatory. Built into a mountian, it had massive satelites which captured radio waves from far out into space. Why Neil wanted to come here, Brina would never guess. But now she was practically his girlfriend, and besides, she was also interested in whatever Neil wanted her to see."
"Good, you made it. C'mon. This way," said Neil. His eyes were glowing with anticipation, and he seemed very excited. Brina smiled at his enthuasiam and followed him into the long tunnel.
Before long, they came out into what seemed to be a dark cavern of some kind. Neil felt along the wall, and instantly lights flickered on, revealing a giant underground base. Brina's eyes went wide with wonder. She was barely able to speak.
"Neil...what the heck is this place?"
"It's the Autobot's base here on Earth. And maybe someday, they'll come back to it. We need to clean it up and make it ready for them," said Neil with a grin. He pulled out some old rags and tossed a few to Brina.
"C'mon. Let's clean it up."
"Neil...could I walk around and check out the base? Maybe the Autobots left clues on how to get to where they are now on Cybertron."
"Good thinking, Brina! Go for it."
A half-hour later, Brina had walked through just about every inch of the old base without a clue. She sighed heavily. There was nothing that could possibly lead them to the Autobots. For some reason, this seemed to really irritate her. She shrugged to herself, taking a look in the very last of the rooms. She gasped.
Inside was a gate of some kind.
"Hey, Neil! I think I found what we're looking for!" she called happily.
A few moments later, Neil and Brina went back into the main computer room and sat down to discuss the new plan.
"I say we try it. I say we try to use that thing to get to Cybertron."
"I'm with you, Neil. I don't know what, but something has been calling to me ever since we started this whole thing. All my life, I've felt like there was something more out there for me. I think that if we go to Cybertron, it'll help to clear my mind."
Neil nodded almost instantly.
"Let's e-mail out parents and go."
Yay! They're off to Cybertron! Next chapter should be up this weekend. I hope. As always, reviews and suggestions are welcome!
