BratEDragon: ^-^ I got reviews does happy happy review dance
Megatron: is that really a good thing?
BratEDragon:^-^ I feel soooo special now that I actually got reviews to answer
Pyro: yea?
BratEDragon: I actually asked my friends about the whole pyroknesis thing, and some pyrokinetics can create fire… and some can't, so it really depends on what you see on TV…
Megatron: that second d-con was me…
BratEDragon: and I'll try to be a little less vague

Kara sat in her dark room, lit only by a single candle, contemplating the day's events. She looked up at the clock. It was 12:01 am. She was now contemplating yesterday's events. Absentmindedly, she waved her hand around, manipulating the candle's flame, trying to figure out what the hell happened yesterday. Was she really attacked by giant robots? Then it hit her. That's why Rad didn't want her to be with them on their little trip. She looked around for anything that might be useful for her, and found a box of matches. She knew thy were in the desert, and she would find them.
Kara scuttled along the rocks in the desert, following Billy and Fred. She knew that they were friends with Rad and them, so they were probably in on this too. A few minutes later, Kara found herself inside of a massive, metallic building well hidden in a cave (the autobot base is in a cave right? I can't remember) wandering through a huge corridor, taking cover behind anything she could. Fred was now talking to Alexis.
" Watch out for that tripwire that you always manage to set off, Fred." She warned. Fred stepped over the invisible laser carefully.
"Can we eat yet..." he moaned. It was usual practice for him. Once they were out of sight, she stepped over the tripwire and followed them down the corridor. When she got there, she noticed they were talking to one of the giant robots. She couldn't get a good view of them but she heard them.
"Did you hear something?" Rad asked, turning around. Kara quickly ducked out of sight. She started having serious doubts about this. What would happen to her if she was caught? Finally deciding she didn't want to find out, she turned back the way she came. Of course, she forgot about the tripwire...
The loud alarms pounded in her ears, a defining sound. She took a sharp turn into a random hallway, and herd a loud clunk. She turned around, almost afraid of what was there. The doorway she had just came through was now sealed with a large door, leaving no gap at all.
" You have got to be shittin' me!" she shouted, sliding underneath the other doorway that had started to seal up. She made it through, barely. "Can this get any worse?!?" she screamed again, then paused, half expecting something to jump out and eat her. She lit a match to illuminate the dark room, as she slowed down. She manipulated the fire on the match to get a better view of her surrounding. Was she really safe now?
Rad and the others ran into the central control room, alarms still blaring. All the Transformers were huddled around Red Alert, who was busy typing on the computer.
"Hey, what happened?" Carlos asked innocently. The Autobots didn't seem too alarmed, but a bit worried. Hot Shot shifted and looked down.
"Nothing much," he said, " someone got in though, and guess who it is..."
" Kara" Alexis said bitterly, "She must have followed Billy and Fred..." They all turned to watch Red Alert, who was trying to override the lock-down. Because of Kara, the base was locked down, and they didn't know if that was good or bad.
Kara wheezed and slouched down against the wall. This brought new meaning to the words 'adrenaline rush'. She closed her eyes, half asleep, when she heard metallic footsteps coming toward her. They weren't heavy footsteps, but she didn't care, lighting a match to use as a weapon if she needed to. She opened her eyes and saw... not what she expected to see. Instead of a metallic being of titanic proportions, she was in front of a rather small robot that was yellow with pinkish optics. There were wheels on its forearms and the heels of its feet. Kara straightened herself against the wall. The robot just tilted it head and beeped curiously. Kara held the match out and waved her hand, making it glow brighter. The robot jumped back at least five feet and started to walk away. Then it broke into a run.
"No, wait! Don't go!" Kara shouted. The robot stopped and turned around. " I'm sorry," she said apologetically, "I didn't mean to scare you, but you snuck up on me..."
The robot walked back up to Kara, still nervous about what had happened. It cautiously looked at her, then the match.
"Oh, that's just a power I can do, watch" Kara made a spiral motion with her hand, and the flame created a spiral column. The robot stood there amazed. The match burned down faster. Then Kara made a fist, and the flame snuffed out. The robot looked at her and beeped happily. Kara smiled, for a robot, this dude was kind of cute looking. Then the robot beeped again, and tugged at her arm, as if trying to lead her somewhere.
"Nuh-uh" Kara said in a childish tone, "I'm not going out there, they'll find me!" The robot frowned. Then he beeped again, as if he was asking her why. The little robot tugged harder. When he finally got Kara to stand up, he started pulling her down the hallway he came through. Kara protested.
" They don't know I'm here!" Kara exclaimed, "I don't want to be found!" The robot just beeped in a sarcastic tone. Kara's eyes narrowed. "Are you mocking me?"
When they got to where they were going, Kara was shocked to find it was empty. It was some kind of control room. The little robot frowned and beeped dismally. Then something came around the corner, another yellow robot. Except this was of the bigger kind. It had light blue optics, and unlike the ones she saw yesterday, this one bore a red insignia. Kara stiffened in fright. What was going to happen to her? The robot with blue optics just smiled.
"Hi," it said. Kara bit back a scream as she readied to light another match. The smaller robot beeped at her, and stopped her hand. The little robot frowned, then turned to the larger one and waved. The larger robot chuckled slightly.
" What do you think is so funny!?!" Kara shouted, " You can talk, right?" Kara tried her hardest not to chuck a fireball at him. The larger robot chuckled again.
" Everyone is off looking for you, and here you are, right where we started" he said in a genuinely delighted tone.
" You're not gonna eat me or anything, right?" Kara asked nervously. She didn't have to be nervous if he said no.
"Nope" he replied. Kara breathed a sigh of relief. Then she paused.
"Do you have a name?" she asked, "And don't expect me to remember it if its a bunch of numbers." She sat down, trying to stay awake.
" It's Hot Shot," he said, "and why are you here?" His tone got more serious at the end of the sentence. Kara was looking around, and if it wasn't for the little yellow robot next to her, she wouldn't have heard Hot Shot's question. She jumped when the little yellow robot tugged at her sleeve.
" Who, me," she replied in an innocent, and annoying, tone, "I'm trying to figure out what's going on, you don't have a clue about how long my mom's lecture about responsibility was..." The two robots were shocked at this.
"You didn't tell her about us, did you?" Hot Shot asked urgently, " The humans aren't supposed to know about us!" Kara laughed.
"Hell no! She would never believe me if I said I was chased by huge robots," Kara replied, "I made some crappy-ass excuse that I slid and my bike went off a cliff, I don't even think she believed that." They sat their for a while. Then Kara broke the silence. "Hey, the alarms stopped" The little yellow robot gave a confused beep.
"The alarms have been off for a while" Hot Shot said with a confused look.
"Then if was the ringing in my ears. Damn those things are loud!"
"I know, but Red Alert thought that was necessary..." He replied.
"Ah-ha, so there are more of you guys!" Kara laughed. The little robot next to her rolled his optics and beeped in a sarcastic tone. "Stop mocking me!!!" Kara shouted. Hot Shot laughed.
" Sparkplug thinks of you as a friend, even though you have no clue to what he's saying." Kara smiled. She had absolutely no clue about what was going on. Then they heard a robotic voice call out from a nearby hallway. The voice sounded young and childish (for a robot). Kara saw him turn into the room they were in.
" Hey bro! you found her!" the robot said with a cheesy grin. Hot Shot was shocked by his entrance (meaning: he spaced out).
" Oh, hi Sideswipe," Hot Shot said "actually Sparkplug found her." Sideswipe just smiled.
" I'll go get the others, except maybe Alexis, she's kind of angry..." Sideswipe trailed off, thinking. Kara seemed upset.
"They hate me," Kara muttered, "I'm different, so I never got to develop social skills, they just..."
Kara sighed. "I wish I could just be normal..."
"Why?" asked Sideswipe, "We had laserbeak follow you, you could do so much good with powers like those" Kara sat down and buried her face in her hands, as Sparkplug went off to find the others.
"I was always home-schooled because of these abilities," she said, " you couldn't understand, I can't really control my powers, its horrible when your in an argument with someone and a soda bottle suddenly explodes in some kids face." Kara paused. Should she tell them? She decided she should. "When I was five, when my powers started developing, I accidentally burned down my family's first house. My dad, he was terrified of me, and a year later he left. He hated me because I was different, my mom didn't want anything happening to me because of my abilities, so she home-schooled me." Kara lifted her head and noticed that she was no longer alone with Hot Shot and Sideswipe, in fact everyone in the base was there, including Rad, Carlos, Alexis, Billy and Fred. " Holy shit!!" Kara screamed, "how many of you guys are there!!" A small, red helicopter-bot beeped. Kara looked around amazed. Then one of the giant robots stepped forward and spoke. He was red and blue and everything below his yellow optics.
" My name is Optimis Prime" he said," and we are the Autobots..." Kara sat and listened to all the stuff that Optimus said. She decided that she would help the Autobots in the the war they were fighting. It might help them a lot with someone like her on the team. Anyway, this was a great way to strengthen her mental abilities...
