So, none of your guys read this one. I thought it was a good idea here. How many stories have Red Alert as the star. Well, I am not going to give up. I will fight on. So, here is chapter two!!!
Slowly, his optics came on line. It felt like his was on for million years. Red Alert looked around the area. It was cover with allsorts of plants and flowers. The yellow sun was beaming right on top of him. The colors were making a rainbow on the ground. His circuit squeeze in pain as he stood up. He had never seen such a place like this on Earth. Of all the area he had seem, this was the most beautiful.
"Red Alert,"
Red turned to the voice. His jaw, as the human would say dropped. There standing in front of him was Breeze. She was there, real as him. His circuits rose up with energon at the rush the very sight was giving him. She was just a beautiful as the day Megatron stole her away from him. Her figure still as smooth as he remember it. Her optic shinning in the sunny.
"Breeze....is that you?" he asked unsure.
"It's me," she answer, a voice like a songbird.
Ten seconds was all the it took. Red Alert ran up to his love, not caring about the pain he was feeling and hugged her so tight that she would never leave again. She shouted with laugher as he started to spin her around in the air. Red Alert couldn't help but smile. It was such a long time since he felt like this, so happy. Breeze had that affect on him, she could just blown all his cares away. He finally place back on the
ground, but still hadn't let go.
"I missed you so much," he whisper to her looking deep within her optics.
"I have with you too," she said.
The two just stared at each other without saying a word. But, with a bond like this one, you knew that they were saying a lot. Breeze retracted her faceplate showing young femme features. The two faces got closer and closer until the two met for a kiss. It was such a long time since Red Alert had felt her lips on his. They were as soft as always. If those metal, he could feel the warm off them. Finally, they parted. That when Red Alert notice the look in Breeze's optics. They seem to have a sad look to them.
"What wrong?" he asked her.
"You have to awake up now," she said.
Red Alert just stared at her in disbelief, "No,"
"Yes," she said, "This isn't real, this place, me, it doesn't exist."
That when she started to pull away. Red tried to hold on but she just slipped through his hands. He never want to loss her again. Why was this happening to him? The scene then started to go all fuzz then black. Soon, he started to heard voices.
"He's going to be alright?"
"That is the 15th time you asked in the past five minutes!"
"Well, if you done your job right!"
Red Alert moaned as his optics came back on line. They were a little fuzzy, but he could make out two figures above him, "Hot Shot, Smokescreen, stop arguing," he moaned.
"Hey, he's awake!"
"But he really confused,"
As he optics finally were back in working order, Red Alert saw the two femmes that saved him from the Decepticons' base standing over him. Looking around, he was back inside the Autobots' medic lab and he was laying on one of the rechargers. This was irony, he was the one of the slab of metal and having somebot look after him.
"Go and get the other," said the purple one.
"Yes, right away!" shouted the pink one with glee as she quickly ran out of the room, screaming on the top of her voice box that "medic boy" was awake.
"What going on here?" moaned Red as he tried to get up, but the purple femme pushed him back down.
"I don't think so," she said, "As you temp medic, I advise you to rest."
Red Alert gave her a confuse look," And who are you to tell me to rest for?" he asked.
"Oh right, you didn't remember us," she said with a giggle, "My name is NightGale, but everyone calls me Gale."
"Well, it nice to met you, Gale," said Red Alert.
Just then, more shouts were coming from the hallway. Red Alert was then mob by Hot Shot as the young mech ran in and started to asked so many question. Smokescreen, the kids and Optimus enter to with the pink one skipping right behind them. Gale quickly got out of Hot Shot's way and walked over to Optimus. The two started to talk, then the pink femme came over and started to shat with them. Red tried to heard what they were saying but, over all the chatter that was around him, it was a hard thing to do. That when Gale came back into view.
"Ok, back away, fellas," she order, "This bot needs rest, now everyone out,"
Soon, everyone had left the room. Gale seem to have pushed each one of them with all her might. The only one that she didn't try to get out of the medic lad was Optimus. She just stood outside and gave him a nodded as she shut the door behind her. The Autobot leader walked his way over to the injure medic and sat down.
"First of all, Red Alert, it is great to have you back with us,' said Optimus, "I would hate to think of the things Megatron must of done to you up there."
"Thank you, sir," said Red Alert as his mind drifted to the memory of Megatron telling how he killed Breeze.
Optimus nodded, "Now, there are some question I need to ask you?" he said
"How so?" asked Red Alert in a puzzle tone.
"NightGale came across some very confusing data in your systems while she was repairing you. It seems that there is some Decepticon data inside you."
"While it must be some information, I'll talk..."
"Not that kind, it was more of reprogramming data,"
"Well, Megatron must have try to use it while I was off-line and..."
"I'm afraid not," said Optimus, "It is too old, much too old. It seem to be about like you had it for a long time."
Red Alert said nothing. What was leave for him to say. Optimus was going to think that he was a kind of traitor and was going to place him in jail.
"Red Alert, I have know you for a long time and you're one of my closest friends. I know you have a good reason not to tell me," said Optimus, "But I need you to tell me why that is in your systems."
"Of course," said Red Alert, "But, please sir don't have me repeat this to anyone else."
"You have my word."
"...It started about..."
5 hundred years ago....
"Guys!!! Wait up!!!"
Red Alert sign as he turned around to see a silver sport car quickly coming behind them. He shook his head. What was he going to do to with him.
"Hurry up, Tracks!!!" shouted the huge tank behind Red Alert as they rolled along.
"I'm coming, Grind!!!" shouted Tracks as he finally made it with the two, "Man, why do we have to get up so early."
"You know there have been problems in Sector IH7-P. Now, we lost contact with our outpost there," said Grind.
"Blah, Blah," mouth Track, "Anyway, where is Overload and Breeze?"
"They are meeting us at the warp gate," said Red Alert, "They went a head because we had to wait for someone who was slept in," he added with a glare.
"What!?" asked Track with no guilt in his voice.
Grind just chuckle at the two, "Speaking of Breeze, where are you taking her tonight, if my memory is right, today is your anniversary."
Red Alert chuckle, "Right, and tonight is going to be special, I taking her to that new place on Ion moon, really nice," he explain.
"Cool, and I can take bet what you two are going to later," giggle Track as he started to make kissing sounds.
"Hey, cut that out," demand Red Alert as he tried to bash at Tracks but missed.
"Will ya cut it out," said Grind as they finally made it to the door to the warp gate.
Red Alert looked up ahead to see Breeze standing right there. She was as beautiful as always, even when she was cover with engeron. Well, she was their team's medic. Sure, Red Alert knew how do fix a couple of injures, but not as well as her. In fact, they met while he was getting his legs repair from a fight. She smiled and talked so soft to him. He fell head over heels for at that moment. There beside her was Overload. He was her twin bother, older one too. Once, Red Alert started to date Breeze, he would say the same thing over and over.
"You hurt her, you become a trash basket,"
Let's just say, he warm up to Red finally over the eons. Still, he did keep telling him that same threat, even after, Red Alert and Breeze bonded. It was just a joke between the two. Now, they were waiting for them. Red Alert quickly transformed, follow by Grind and Tracks. He then ran up to Breeze and started to hug her.
"I missed you," he said to her.
"Same here, Reddy," she said with a smile.
"How come she can get away with calling him Reddy, but I can't," complained Track as he placed his hands over his head.
"Three reason, my friend," said Grind as he and Overload came on both side of the young Autobot, "One, you're a moron."
"Two, she is the wife and has special powers over him," said Overload, who got a glare from Red Alert.
"And three, you're a moron," said Grind.
"But you already...." said Fast Track before Red Alert cut him off
"If you guys had enough, I would like to get moving," said Red Alert pointing to the warp gate.
"Just hold your Circuits," said Overload as they finally got into position.
"Ok, I have a feeling awe miss something," said Track.
Grind whack him in the back of the head, "No, duh!"
Red Alert looked at all the mass destruction that was here, a city burning. The entire town had smoke billowing from the building's ventilation shaft, windows, and door. fires were all over the places. Buildings were nothing. It was just a wasteland. There had to be one answer to this mindless destruction--- Decepticons.
"Ok, you guys know what to do," said Red Alert turning to the group, "We split up and look to see if anyone is alive."
"Breeze. you go to the outpost and signal for some back up. We don't know if there still any Decepticons left here, so might need it. Everyone else, bring anyone you find alive to the out post for repairs."
"Got ya," said Track.
"Ok, let move out!" shouted Overload as he transformed into a red SUV and quickly started to go on his way.
The team soon made their own way. Red Alert zoom through he streets of the city. All around where little piece of transformers, both Autobots and Decepticons. This was suppose to be a neural city. Where both Autobots and Decepticons could just past through without a fight. Megatron must had had enough of it and try to get the citizen to join him. This scene was clearly a show of their answer. Red could take a guess that some of these bots change their minds or were taken capture. This really made him sick.
"Help!"
Red Alert looked up at one of the buildings. There stick her head was a young femme. The black soot was all over her body, covering her colors. She seems to be in a panic and was waving madly at him. Red Alert quickly transform and started to head inside the building. Once inside, he slowly made his way to the femme. She was on the second floor, only a staircase away, but all the flames made it seem like she was only twenty away. He grabbed a hold of the railing and slowly made his way up. The heat was cooking him, he knew it. But he had to save that kid, he was an Autobot after all.
"Help!" she shouted again.
"Don't worry, kid!" shouted Red Akert, "I'm almost there!"
"Red Alert!" came a voice over his com-link.
"Grind! What the matter?" said Red Alert surprise at the panic in his friend's voice.
"Decepticons! They are here! With Megatron! He already killed Track! Now he after the rest of us!" shouted Grind in fear, "You got to come back! Now!"
Now Red Alert had a choice to make. Each second he took to decide, slowly killed the innocence. He knew he should save the kid, but he was bond to his friends and his mate. He could let Megatron get his fifthly hands on her. What to do?
"Please! Hurry!" came another voice, younger then the first.
That made Red Alert decision. He ran the rest of the away on the stairs. There huddle in the corner, sat two young femmes, only children to him. They looked so scared, trapped like two rats beneath a tiger's paw. He made his way over to the two, with a smile. He didn't want this two to think that he would hurt them.
"It ok, I'm here to help," he said then pointed to the Autobot insignia on him, "I'm Red Alert and I'm an Autobot sent here to help."
The older one of the two nodded at him then pushed the smaller one front of him, Dove can't move here legs," she said.
"Ok, he said bending down, "Here grabbed a hold of my neck with your arms, Dove," he said using the femmes name to give her some comfort.
Dove nodded and quickly was lifted up on Red Alert back and wrapped her arms around his neck. He then grabbed a hold of the other femme and started to run. He heard the femmes start to scream from the heat. He would have join into if he wasn't the one in charger here. Finally, he bashed through the door and made it outside. He placed both femmes and the ground and started to catch his breath.
"Are you two ok?" he asked.
The older one nodded yes, while the one called Dove just stared at him with these green cat-like optics. He swear, it was like she was looking inside of him. Now that they were save, he had to go now.
"All right, you two stay out of trouble and don't let anyone see you, except if they are an Autobot, they will help you," he said, "I'll be back," and with that he transform and head to the direction of the out post.
So many thoughts were going through his head and Red Alert made his way. Were they ok? Was Tracks really dead. Red hate to think that he would never see that idiot way a fool of himself again. What really worry him was Breeze ok? He didn't know how he could live with himself if he let her dead. Well, his answer would be coming up soon. There in front of him was the out post, right beside this huge crack in the ground. Red Alert transform and way his way calling out for his friends.
"Overload! Breeze! Gri.." he shouted when he tripped on something.
Looking the ground, he spotted what seem to be a cannon that was ripped off something. He then look in front of him to see another one just like it. They look so filmier, he though to himself as he made his way. That when he spotted that huge lump on the ground. He quickly ran over and gasp at it. It was Grind or what was left of him. All his cannons, guns, arms and legs were ripped from his body. Energon was dripping all over him and there was this huge hole in the middle of his chest, right where his spark would be.
"No," gasp Red Alert not really believe it then look at was not far from Grind.
There lay what was left of Tracks. He just had this huge hole where his spark , but the size of the hole made it seem that Tracks was spill into two. The young Autobot had this grin on his cold dead face. Red Alert felt this little bit of happiness to know that he when down.
"Red..dy,"
Red turned around to see Breeze. She was on the ground, slowly making her way to him. Energon was coming out of everyone of her cuts. Red Alert ran over and quickly sat down beside her, placing her head in his lap.
"Breeze, what happen?" he asked as little stream of energon tears came down his face. It hurt him so much to see her like this. He didn't know what to do.
"Megatron...he surprise us," she said softly, "Tracks ...tried to jump him....but he blast him away...then Grind fire..but that didn't work," tears started to fall down her face, "He threw...Overload over the ....cliff."
"Don't worry, honey," said Red Alert as he brought her closer, 'I'll just get to work on your injures and we'll..."
"No, Reddy," she said with a smile," You can't...don't have the skills."
"But I have to try!" he shouted letting the tears flow freely out on her body, "I don't want to lose you."
Breeze smiled," You won't...I'll always, be with you..in your memories," she said as he opticswent off-line for the last time.
"Breeze!!! Come on, this isn't a joke! Wake up! Please, wake up!" he choke out.
Then when there was a huge shadow over cast him. Red Alert turned around to look at the face of true evil. There standing in front of him was Megatron. Red Alert quickly got to his feet and pulled out his weapon. Anger was blinding his judgment. He just want to make this dictator pay for what he had done to his love ones.
"You are dead, Megatron!" shouted Red Alert as he started to blast away at the Decepticon.
"I don't think so, Autobot," said Megatron as he whack the Autobot back.
Red Alert flew backward and crash into the ground. He tried to get back up again, but Megatron blasted him down. He couldn't move anymore. His legs were not working. Megatron then hovered over the fallen Autobot. Red Alert was ready to face the end, he then would see Breeze again.
"You think, I'm going to kill you," said Megatron, "You are wrong, I going to leave you with the dead of your comrades to burn in your memory for the rest of your life That is a wrost pain then anything I could cause myself. Of course there is one small thing."
Red Alert glanced up to see this bright glowing purple orb in Megatron hand. He didn't have time to act as the Decepticon soon place it over his Autobot insignia. It was amazingly powerful and was incredibly painful as the energy surged through his systems. His circuits came alive with the surge and he could feel the strength of Megatron's evil flooding through him.
"What..are you..doing to...me?" demand Red under the strain.
"I'm leaving you a little present," chuckle Megatron as he remove his hand, "Just think of this, ever time you get anger, you a just a another step until you join my side."
With that the huge Decepticon leader leave Red Alert, alone. He just laid there until somebot came and save him. After this experience, he would never be the same again.
"That explain why you stop going into battles," said Optimus after Red Alert had finish.
"Yes, sir and why the Decepeticon program is inside me," said Red Alert, "Megatron was trying to get me to active it on the Lunar base and almost won if it wasn't for NightGale and her friend."
"Her sister," corrected Optimus, "That little jumpstart, is her little sister."
Red Alert shook his head," Should have know, those two look so much alike," he pointed out, "But I didn't know you order for back-up?"
Optimus chuckle, "I didn't, they were on vacation from the academy, when they came here," he said, "they didn't know what they were getting into."
Red Alert laugh," Well, I do believe I own them one," he said.
"I don't think so, Red Alert," said Optimus, "From NighGale's story, they own you frist."
"How, Optimus, I don't remember every meeting them before now?" asked Red Alert.
Just then shouted were being heard from the hallway. They could heard two voice very clearly.
"Oh, you are no fun, Gale," complained one of them.
"You nearly lite the base on fire with this thing!" shouted Gale.
"But it was just a small fire," whine her sister.
"By Primus, I don't know what I'm going to do with you sometimes, Dove," sigh Gale as the two left the hallway.
Red Alert was just lock jaw at the sound of the another femmes' name. Dove, no, that couldn't
been, could she and NightGale been... Red Alert looked at his leader in the face. That How he knew that the answer to his question was right.
Man, that was a lot of work. I just hope to get one review this time. Until next time, Read, Write and Reveiw.
