Yay! Chapter 25! Yay! Someone reviewed my story! ^___^ Yay! I
like the music I'm listening too! Yay! Im eating cookies and im tired,
making me super hyper! Yay! I don't know if any of you have heard this
song "Metamorphosis" by Hilary Duff. I feel that it really goes along with
this chapter because Emrial is going through so many changes. It's also
the song that inspired this chapter. So, if you really want to get the
feeling of this chapter, listen to that song while you're reading this ^__^
now, on with the story.
Chapter 25
Metamorphosis
"I've been so wrapped up in my warm cocoon
But something's happening, things are changing soon.
I'm pushing the edge, feeling it crack
And once I get out, there's no turning back."
Emrial strode boldly back into the base.
"Hey, Emrial, where 'ya been?" Hot Shot piped up as he walked towards her.
"Watching the butterfly go towards the sun
I wonder what I will become."
Emrial turned, her once blonde hair flashed around her face. Her eyes were as cold as ice. She glared the bot down before continuing to her room.
"What's up with that?" Hot Shot looked over to Red Alert for advice. The med-bot just shrugged.
Emrial's door slid open. She walked up to her mirror. She studied her features, comparing her present state to what she had once been.
"Metamorphosis
Whatever this is
Whatever I'm going through"
She threw off her orange vest that bore the Autobot emblem.
"Come on and give me a kiss
Come on, I insist
I'll be something new
A metamorphosis."
She formed a pair of razor edged scissors in her hand. She took them to her hair. Chopping it to an uneven look. She cut two lengths of bangs that hung over eyes. She then chopped some to be about the length of her shoulders on either side of her face. She left the rest as it was, long and drooping over back.
Her hair had once been a bleached blonde, almost white. Now, with how many times it had been singed, it took an auburn-gold hue.
"Things are different now when I walk by
You start to sweat and you don't know why
It gets me nervous to but it makes me calm
To see life all around me moving on."
Emrial whipped her melted goggles off of her head. She thought a little bit. New ones began to form in her hands. Two round orbs, the color of sky, connected by a strap of leather.
"Watching the butterfly go towards the sun
I wonder what I will become."
Thinking of leather, Emrial began ease off her tattered leather fingerless gloves. She raised her bare hands up in front of her face. Making them into a fist, there was a flash, and her robot form gloves began to appear. They were a dark-blue, almost black in color. The sleeve part of them came up halfway to her elbow.
"Metamorphosis"
Emrial grabbed the belt that was slung about her. Loosening it up, she let it lay crooked and sideways on her waist.
"Whatever this is
Whatever I'm going through
Come on and give me a kiss
Come one, I insist
I'll be something new
A metamorphosis"
She looked down at her regular boots. Kicking them off she let her robot jet-boots take their place. They made her slightly elevated because of the high platform they had due to the jets. There was a piece of silver metal that ran up the sides, meeting in the front of her shin. She snapped the yellow straps tight, two in the front, one in back. She smiled, taking a few satisfactory clunky steps.
"Ever day is a transformation"
Emrial looked over at her discarded boots. Picking one up she worked one the bindings out of its holder. For some unknown reason she strapped the leather binding about her left arm, it held up the baggy sleeve of her light blue shirt.
"Every day is a new sensation"
Because she had no other clothing, Emrial decided to keep the long sleeved shirt and her dark-blue pants. The pants, having been burned a bit, had a sort of army camouflage pattern about them with the charred black.
"Alteration,"
Emrial turned, inspecting herself in the mirror. She nodded her approval before leaving her room.
"modification"
Hot Shot looked up as she entered the training room. "Hey, hey! Look who finally shows up!" He smiled.
"An incarnation, celebration"
Emrial turned her ice blue eyes to star the bot down. Letting her sword and shield form in her hands she took a fighting stance. "Let us commence the training." She stated coldly as she charged Hot Shot.
"Every day is a new equation"
"Whoa. I've never seen such power. What ever happened to her has certainly made her stronger." Hot Shot thought as he struggled to block the girl's attacks.
"Every day is a revelation"
She was too swift for him, and Hot Shot got knocked down on his aft.
"Information, Anticipation"
"C'mon! Get up!" Emrial challenged him. "You must be stronger, Hot Shot, if you want to defeat Unicron!" She shouted to him.
"Unto another destination"
"What? What are you talking about?" Hot Shot struggled to his feet.
"Metamorphosis"
"Time will reveal all. For now you must become stronger!" She commanded of him.
"Whatever this is
Whatever I'm going through"
"What?" Hot Shot was confused.
"Come on and give me a kiss
Come on, I insist"
"C'mon, Hot Shot! You will never get anywhere if you accept defeat!" She charged him again.
"I'll be something new"
He was defeated again.
"A metamorphosis"
Emrial stood, looking down upon her opponent. "Pathetic. You're planet is doomed."
She turned and walked away, leaving Hot Shot to ponder what she had meant, in her wake.
Emrial stood outside the base. The beauty of the orange sunset was wasted on her.
"Gotta find your inner strength
If you can't then just throw life away
Gotta learn to rely on you."
Emrial sighed. "Hot Shot...."
"Beauty, strength, and wisdom, too
You're beautiful inside and out
Lead a great life without a doubt"
Emrial closed her eyes. "Hot Shot, if you can't defend yourself, the future I saw of you is inevitable." She drew in a ragged breath. "You will suffer for you weaknesses. You will not survive."
"Don't need a man to make things fair
'Cuz more than likely he won't be there"
"Can I trust you if you can't trust yourself? I'm not going to stick up for you in battle and take all of your hits, just because I value your life. From now on, it's every femme, bot, human, whatever for themselves." She stared off into space. "Good luck to you." She began walking off.
"Listen girl, gotta know it's true
In the end all you've got is you."
A lone figure walked off into the sunset. "From now one, I work for myself. Call me only if you need help. I'm on my own." She stomped her foot into the dust, then spread her wings and flew away.
A/n: that last song was "Inner Strength" from the same cd as "Metamorphosis" I just thought that it really fitted with the end of this chapter. Love it? Hate it? Have suggestions? Leave a review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
