Sorry I took so long with this chapter damn writers block, but I got more reviews... yippee!!! o
Jolt: you had writers block? I just thought you would rather play the transformers game and watch that G1 DVD you got
It was writer's block dammit!!!
Jolt: riiiight (he walks off)
Anyways... Z and The other person who reviewed then changed their penname 2 or 3 times, I'm glad you like my story!
And to SaphireStars... C is a good choice. I had something else in mind, but I can't tell you, 'cause it would spoil the story...
I still own nothing, except Kara, I definitely do not own Transformers Armada, 'cause if I did, Sideways would have a better character design, and voice acting, and different color optics... and better lines....
Kara lay asleep on her bed, lost in her nightmare. Her Kingdom Hearts game was still on the save screen. She turned over, dropping her PS2 controller on the ground. It felt like she was drowning in her own feelings of hate, fear and anger. In fact, she could taste the water. Another drop hit her head, followed by another. Then a cool jet of water hit her face. Kara snapped up, fully awake.
"What the hell was that for!" she shouted at the twenty- two year old in front of her. He had black hair that spiked up, and the same green eyes as hers. He laughed.
" It's nice see you too, Kara." he said, sitting down on the bed as Kara bundled up her blankets to dry her face.
"Your here a week early, Lance." she dropped the blankets.
"I talked on the phone with mom, she didn't sound well, so I came over early, you know, in case something happens..." He trailed off a bit, then laughed, "Mom always did say you were going to worry her sick!"
"Yeah, I suppose so..." Kara said absentmindedly, obviously focusing on something else.
" I have to go do some errands tomorrow, but after that we can go bike riding-"
"I don't have a bike" Kara interrupted.
"Then we can watch a movie... anyway, what have you been doing lately?" Lance asked
" Ah, the usual," Kara answered "drawing, watching reruns of .hacksign and burning stuff for lack of a better thing to do" She watched as Lance picked up a small sketch book at the foot of her bed and flipped through it.
"I see you've stopped drawing .hacksign-type characters with large swords and have started drawing robots..." He stated.
" yeah..." Kara replied, "I'm drawing robots now... yep"
"Whatever happened to ' the more impossible to carry, the better the weapon'"
"That still applies, I just want to draw robots for now..."
"Okay... well good night" After saying this, Lance got up and left the room.
"Yeah..." Kara said nervously "Good night..."
The next day, Kara ran into the base. Tripping over her feet, Kara made her way into the room where Red Alert was fixing a machine, and Hot Shot was watching him.
"Hey guys guess what-" Kara didn't finish her sentence, she ran right into a transformer-sized wrench (there is such a thing, it was in the carnival episode), and tripped over it, falling flat on her face.
" Watch out for the wrench, Kara" Hot Shot said, trying not to laugh.
"Shut up" she retorted, clasping her hand over her nose, "hey, Red, is my nose bleeding"
"No" the medic replied.
" As I was saying my brother-" Kara was cut of by the sound of the minicon alarm "God damn it!"
Five minutes later, everyone was at the warp gate, and Kara was (once again) laughing at Rad's, Carlos's and Alexis's outfits. Meanwhile, Optimus was talking to Red Alert.
"She seems so happy today..." Optimus stated.
"That's a change," Red Alert replied, "lately, it seems that her mind is occupied by other thoughts..."
"She's worried" Optimus said.
" What is there for her to be worried about?" the medic asked
"I don't know, and I don't think she'll tell us." The Autobot leader turned and walked off.
Kara sighed as she leaned against Hot Shot, who was in his vehicle form. She watched as Rad got inside the yellow sports car, and she did the same.
"Sooooo, where's this minicon at?" the young pyrokinetic asked.
"A ghost town" answered Rad.
"Cool!" Kara exclaimed as the warp gate activated. She watched all of the colors swirling around her, and jumped out once they reached the ghost town.
Carlos took a quick look around, then stated, "Wow, there sure is a lot of places that the D-cons could hide here..."
"That's why we have to stay on our toes" Scavenger said, and the ever-literal Kara balanced on the tips of her toes. That earned her a slap on the head from Alexis.
"Maybe we should try to sneak up on them..." Rad said. Everyone nodded and the humans each went off with a transformer.
Smokescreen looked around a corner to make sure that no one was there. "Remember to keep up with me, alright Kara?" he asked, and waited for a response. There was none. He turned around, and noticed that the young girl had ran off. "Oh slag.." he muttered.
Kara ran and hid inside a conveniently placed schoolhouse as the Decepticons walked into the town's center. She pressed herself against the wall as she listened to their indecipherable chattering (or in Thrust's case, gibberish). She moved slightly, so she could peak out of the door, nearly catching the attention of Wheeljack.
This is perfect, she thought, this way I can get the minicon and find out if that stuff Megatron said was true. Kara waited until the other Decepticons split up and tailed Megatron, occasionally scurrying behind an abandoned wagon or in a building. She waited, hiding under a wagon, when Demolisher came running in.
"Megatron, sir, we found the minicon" he exclaimed. After a long pause, he added "and Cyclonus got shot up again."
Megatron sighed, then said "Go find him"
"Right" Demolisher answered as he ran off. He ran right her way, and passed by without even seeing her.
Well he's about as sharp as a bowling ball, Kara thought, he ran by and didn't even see me. She turned around to watch Megatron, but he wasn't there. Quickly, she looked around, then ran off to find him. But Sideswipe found her first.
"Hey, where have you been!" he called out, "I thought you were supposed to be with Smokescreen!"
"Huh? Oh great, where the hell did Megatron go?" Kara asked herself.
"They already retreated" Sideswipe stated, "C'mon, lets go back." Kara paused for a minute, then started to walk off in the direction that Sideswipe was going...
Back at Decepticon HQ, Megatron drummed his fingers on his throne. He paused for a minute, then turned to Leader-1. "Leader-1" he said, catching the minicon's attention, "there is something I need you to do..."
Kara slowly unlocked the door to the house, and was surprised to see Lance sitting alone, his face buried in his hands. Lance didn't move, but he did talk.
"Kara," he said slowly, and it had sounded like he had been crying, "Mom was hospitalized today..."
Kara just stood there in shock, and eventually her knees gave way. She stared into the comforting void of the darkness around her, as the tears started streaming down her face...
That's it for this chapter
Read and review, or else I'll... cry (dun dun dun)
