Disclaimer: Don't own them. Wish I owned the dinobots, though.
A/N: Very late update. I hope to get this finished in the next week or two, since I don't want to have to update at the new house.
Also, I have lost a fic. A favourite Kenshin fic of mine, called 'Rainstorm'. If you find it somewhere, lemme know, arigatoo!
~*~*~*~*~
When Optimus Prime and The Autobot Brothers got back, Prime as good as kicked Sai out and locked the door. They were all looking very grim, and it wasn't hard to figure out what they were discussing. Muttered voices drifted through the cracks of the wall as the human in question scowled visciously at T.A.I's computer. The hologram was with the autobots, and Koji had run along home like a good little boy, after his attempt at 'conversation' had failed miserably.
Eventually, curiousity overwhelmed logic of how -not- to piss the autobots off, and Sai walked over to the computer.
A few randomly tapped keys later, a picture of Scurge appeared on the screen.
*Leader of the Decepticons* she read *One of the six autobots lost. WHen his protoform scanned the vehicle - an oil tanker - it also scanned the human driver and Optimus Prime. Megatron infused him with his spark and he now defies his autobot heritage. There is little hope of him changing his ways.*
[He was an autobot? That is -so- wrong on so many levels.] She tapped a few more keys, and a familiar figure appeared.
*Ultra Magnus* she read, mildly shocked *The younger brother of Optimus Prime. Originally came to - *
A crash announced the arrival of a new 'visitor' and while who it was didn't surprise her, it did amuse her.
"Hello, Magnus."
The autobot arched a brow. "Long time, Sai. How are you?"
"Oh, y'know, same old shit, different day. You?"
"Nothing has changed." [What is she doing here? And where is Burn?] He paused. "You shouldn't be on T.A.I's computer, she gets .. protective."
"I'm scared." The girl replied flatly, looking anything but. He watched silently as she read through the entire autobot teams profiles, noticing her mild scowl at Prime's. This accomplished, she went back to Scurge's and her face flickered with annoyance. When he realised what she was doing, he spoke up.
"Where's my brother?"
With a scowl, she pointed at the door. "He and the other autobots are arguing about what to do with me."
"Oh?"
"Mhmm. The Brothers will defend me, even Prowl who isn't sure I can be trusted. The Build Team want me gone, even the big yellow one I met. The Spy Changers I'm not so sure about, they aren't as easy to read as the rest of them. I guess Mirage and HotShot will ask for answers before they tell me to get out. Skid'Z doesn't care, and the towtruck will follow his idol."
"You've got them all worked out. But not a word about Prime."
"Don't mock me," she said absently, then more bluntly "He pisses me off, and I piss him off. But, he's curious and isn't sure which way to lean. It's not like I'm a threat." She snickered.
"He's a good leader, you know." Ultra Magnus wasn't so much defending his brother as stating the facts.
"This coming from the one who was going to destroy him over a pretty ball of light, hmm?" She didn't even try to keep the amusement out of her voice.
"Over leadership of the autobots. And it was you who convinced me otherwise."
"You overrate my involvement, but you do have a point - in a weird, overgrown talking soup can kinda way." She yawned, stretched, and something sparkled on the chain around her neck.
"What's that?"
"N - " She was cut off by the door concealing her fate slowly opening.
"Magnus!" Optimus was somewhere between pleased and shocked. He would of been suspicious, but let's face it, that wasn't part of his programming.
"I was the last time I looked," was the cool reply "What's Sai doing here?"
Prime shook his head. "Why am I not surprised you know her?" The leader of the autobots sighed, then carried on as if she wasn't there. "But if we only knew why she was here. She is making a conscious effort to make us distrust her. Fortunately, X-Brawn is convinced of her harmlessness, and we have agreed to let her stay."
"Oh, wow, thanks." Sai's voice was dripping sarcasm, and her glare was dark and almost predatory "I love your willingness to trust me. But forget it, I don't need your help after all. Catch ya, Magnus." She turned and half-sauntered, half-stalked out. The team looked after the girl, utterly confused, until something in Magnus clicked. He flicked on his scanner, and as the others left, he stated
"Stop her."
"What?" Prime looked over.
"She's got something someone - "
"Megatron," assumed Sideburn.
"-Scurge wants. He's going to get it, she doesn't stand a chance against him."
"What am I suppose to do? I will not hold her hostage; she chose to leave."
"Argh!" exploded his little brother "You couldn't make her stay if you tried! She came here to get information and now she's got it she doesn't need you! She's going to take on everyone on her own - and die in the attempt!"
(A/N: I hate how melodramatic Ultra Magnus sounds. I should change that)
"No way," said X-Brawn defiantly "is that there little lady going to be fighting anyone, let alone Scurge. Alone ... or otherwise."
"Magnus is exxagerating," said HotShot, walking past "Noone is stupid enough to take him on alone."
"Idiots!" snarled Magnus, storming off "She's protecting you! Even though barely any of your stupid team could care less if she lives or dies, she's still loyal to you! Gah - what did I -DO- to end up with you weaklings?!"
The door slammed, announcing his departure to a stunned Optimus Prime. After a moment, X-Brawn followed him out.
~*~*~*~*~
A/N: I hate how out of character Magnus is. But hey, what am I gonna do. Noone else would have yelled at Prime o.o
Hm .. okay, time for fic reccomendations. I don't own any of these, though I wish I did. x.x
Trigun : Keeping The Love And Peace [Having never seen Trigun, I usually don't bother reading fics about it. This one, however, I have to say is almost perfect. I love fics that have twists, and even though I almost cried in this, I reccomend it to most anyone. I also reccomend 'Sunshine' by the same author, for NoEs fans]
Rorouni Kenshin: Don't Believe Everything You Dream [Probably a pg fic, I loved this. It's got an original fic plot, and its not all fluffy and .. stuff. ^^; Anyway, its great.]
Digimon: Don't Fall Asleep [Yes, its official. I was a digimon fan a few years back, and I decided to check out some fics a few months back. This one is great ... not only is it original, but it has Henry! Wooh!]
Umm .. geez .. I should check out some new fics .. x.x ...
