Jet Blast


Alternate Ending Number Two:

In which you get a glimpse at the sequel

By KatDrama

Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers, and claim no responsibility for them. I do, however, own Emrial, Zaphire, Chopper, Trice, Tank, Brian, Kyle, Emrial's Homeworld, oh, and the plot is mine too!!

Now we join the story at the beginning of Energon –

We see a late twenty to possibly early thirty-year-old woman driving a battered van through an extensive forest road. In the back seat her young toddler quietly amuses herself with toys. A closer view finds these toys to strangely resemble some all too familiar Transformers. The woman glances over to the passenger seat at her old aquamarine cell phone. With eager anticipation and hope welling up farther inside her she pushes the gas pedal down a little farther. After all these years...a tear wells down her cheek. She had gotten the call just days ago. Oh, Jet Fire, I'm so sorry I betrayed my love to you. It took all of her willpower to not break down right there and decide to turn around. It's just that you were so far away and Kyle...well, he was so near. Not to mention of the same species. He was what I thought would be my perfect match. But life is screwy. I wish I'd never loved that loser dirtbag at all. Leaving Zaphire and me all on our own to go after another woman...Emrial bit her lip sorrowfully as she remembered her cruel past.

"Ma ma, are we there yet?" The toddler in the pink jumpsuit in the back seat asked for the fiftieth time that day.

"No, not yet sweetheart, but soon." Emrial concentrated on driving.

"Will father be there?"

Not this again. Emrial groaned. How many times did she have to explain to her young daughter that 'Daddy' wasn't coming back? "No, he won't."

"But de Abobots will?"

"Yes, the Autobots will be there." Emrial smiled.

"Yay! De Abobots!" The child shouted in the dialect most associated with a two year old. She picked up her toys that her mother had made for her with her special powers. She snuggled them up close. "An Jeffire, Opymus, Wed Awert, Bwurr, and Hotthot will be there, right?"

"I hope so." Emrial couldn't help but grin widely.

There was silence for a few more minutes, then...

"Mommy, what's that?" The toddler pointed out the window.

"What's what, dear? Can't you see Mommy's driving?" Emrial gritted her teeth as her van continued to clunk up the hill. I wish I could have just flown, but I'm so low on energy, and then I don't think I could've taken Zaphire. You see, after pulling off of few years of magically healing cars, Emrial soon realized that she couldn't find an adequate source of energy to supply her powers. It seems that electricity wasn't as filling as Energon. And of course she had no clue how to find some, so she since then she has had to drastically conserve on her power usage.

"Someone's car is bwoken down. You twould fwix it, mommy." The two-year old pointed out.

Sure enough. Emrial confirmed her daughter's prognosis. There was indeed a car on the side of the road. It was a black Sedan with flags on the hood. It looked like someone in a skirt was trying to change the tire. Emrial quickly pulled over and strictly told her daughter to stay put as she helped the stranger.

"Hey there, need any help." Emrial asked as she approached the car.

"That would nice." The lady in the skirt wiped her brow and stood up.

"Oh my bleep...ALEXIS?!" Emrial shouted.

"Emrial?!" Alexis got a good look at her rescuer. Like giddy schoolgirls they embraced and danced around excitedly, exchanging news about their lives.

Back in the van, Zaphire was starring out the window and playing with her jet black pigtails like a good little kid when she noticed a rounded shape thing come from the sky and land in the forest not far away. Eager to find out what the strange thing was she mischievously unfastened the harness on her car seat, opened the van door, and slipped out. Holding her Jet Fire toy in one hand and a Hot Shot one in the other she toddled into the forest. She followed the light not to far and came upon the object. It was a candy-apple red spaceship. A ramp came down from its side and two beings emerged. They wore metallic suits of some sort. Zaphire eagerly rushed towards them, thinking they might be the fabled Autobots her mother was always telling her stories of.

"Jet?!" One of the strangers called out and rushed towards the little girl. As he went his metal armor melded back into his body, revealing his garb of richly colored robes and tassels.

"My Spork, Princess Jet, is that really you?" The other alien ran behind the other.

"Nearly 35 years have passed on the Homeworld, yet you remain as young as the day we sealed you in the life pod!" One hugged her, tears welling in his wrinkled eyes.

"But what has happened to your hair?" One of the strangers gasped, fondling Zaphire's jet-black hair. "Your hair used to be as light as a Stellar Zincnoid Blossom!"

Zaphire giggled at the strange men.

"We must get you out of here before this world does anything else to you!"

--

"Oooh..." Emrial wiped away a tear as she and Alexis shared a great many laughs. "Oh, say, come meet my daughter, Zaphire."

"You have a kid? Man, you must be older than I thought..." Alexis teased.

"Oh, be quiet." Emrial bopped Alexis on the head. "That's strange..." She commented, coming around the edge of her van.

"What is?" Alexis came up behind her.

"The van door. It wasn't open when I left. Zaphire..." Emrial called, leaning into the van. She whipped her head out, her face as white as snow. "She's gone!" Panic began to rise inside her.

"Relax. I'm sure she couldn't have gone too far, she's like what, two?" Alexis scoffed.

"Look, here are little footprints! She went into the forest!" Emrial began at a brisk trot into the foliage. Up ahead she saw a large red object. "Please, let her be safe." She whispered a prayer as she entered the clearing. She gasped as she saw two strange men carrying her child into their ship.

"ZAPHIRE!!!!" She screeched, running full steam towards the ship. Seeing the angry woman, the man carrying her daughter passed the child to his companion and quickly formed a gun in his hand. He shot off a few rounds as their ship began to rise, and the ramp pull up. Emrial winced as several off the shots made their marks. Anger boiled up in her blood as she saw the ship taking off. With a burst of energy, she formed her wings and jet boots, something she had not done for a long time. The jets coughed and sputtered until finally there was a flame and she moved upward in the air, chasing the aircraft.

Alexis, who had stayed on the road, looked up as first a medium sized space craft zoomed away, followed closely by Emrial. Without thinking she jumped into Emrial's van and followed the air chase.

--

"Why did we raise the base?" Optimus fumed.

"It's Kicker again, sir." The report came back.

"GRRR! KICKER!!!" Optimus slammed a fist into the nearest computer console.

"I'm in pursuit of the rouge right now, sir." Hot Shot radioed in.

"Good work, don't let him leave the base. That crazy fool..." Optimus muttered some choice curse words. Suddenly an overhead light turned red and a blaring siren screamed out.

"Report!" Optimus yelled.

"We're getting a reading of hundreds of unidentified aircraft. They appear to be...transformer sir."

"Blast. And the base is raised too. Dam you Kicker!" The Commander's day was NOT going well.

"Sir...orders, sir?" A young mech saluted hesitantly.

"Level Three battle stations!" The elder yelled out.

Soon the Autobots found their base being attacked by hundreds of Terricons.

"Yeehaw! Die, thee scum! Trying to steal our Energon, eh?" Jet Fire laughed as he fired at the little, yet lethal pests. "Huh, what's that?" A red streak up in the sky caught his attention. It appeared to be...a spaceship? And there was someone, or something following it out of the atmosphere. The Transformer watched with curiosity as the space ship cleared Earth's atmosphere. The little dot that was following it appeared to have stalled. It remained suspended in air for a time before falling back towards earth. Only when he realized that it was falling right for the bridge of the base did Jet Fire think to move. He aimed his gun, ready to shoot it off course when he saw a van barreling up the bridge. A young woman hung halfway out of the window, waving, trying to catch his attention.

"Don't shoot!" She yelled. "She's one of us!!"

"What?" Jet Fire lowered his gun in confusion. Suddenly a teenager on a hover board roared past the van just as the falling object hit the bridge, the force of the impact allowed the object to break through the solid structure and fall into the ocean with part of the bridge. Obviously the boy had seen something the Transformer hadn't, for he quickly jumped off the bridge, into the water after her. Sputtering salt water he emerged at the surface, a battered looking woman unconscious in his arms. With the Autobot's help the two were pulled up back unto dry land.

Kicker coughed up water as he tried to regain his breath. Alexis had started something she called CPR on the woman. Hot Shot finally appeared because Kicker had lost him behind the van. The robot gasped, realizing something about the woman before the other gathered transformers could figure it out. "It's Emrial!" He exclaimed, his optics now wide with worry.

"Emrial?!" Jet Fire's spark nearly stopped. They remained in frozen silence for quite some time.

KatDrama: WHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! IT IS FINISHED!!! And now you have a peek at the sequel too!!!
