I thought part of this up on my trip in D. C. It's amazing when you force
yourself to think of something to take your mind off of something you can
get great ideas. I'm not to good on geography, but I'll try the best I can;
that's all that can be asked of me, right? I did read up on mary sues so
now I can improve upon Cobalt's character some. Please enjoy.
I don't own Transformers Armada so don't sue me.
A Girl Transformed
Chapter six
"Wow, you jump pretty good Cobalt," claimed Sideswipe.
"Thank you Sideswipe," I replied and jumped down from Optimus' hand.
"BAARING! BAARING! BAARING!"
"EEEK!" I cried and literaly jumped four feet ing the air. "What the heck?!"
"Another minicon has been activated," announced Hotshot and Red Alert ran out of the room.
"Another one?" exclaimed Smokescreen.
"Yes," replied Prime.
"Didn't you guys already find one?" I asked.
"Yes, but these things happen sometimes, sort of like that with the Requiem Blaster," answered Jetfire.
"The Requiem Blaster?" I said confused.
"I'll explain Requiem later," Jet suddenly replied. "Right now, go stand on that orange panel on the ground over there," he pointed to three orange panels outside the doors.
I did so and an orange light wrapped around me and I suddenly was wearing an orange jumpsuit. The light faded and I ran back over to Jet.
"The others tell me that that's what the other kids wear when they come with us," he told me.
"Cool, I like it," I admitted. Just then Red Alert ran back in.
"I've got the cooridinates sir," he announced. "I also think that I should stay here incase the kids come here."
"That's a good idea Red Alert, the rest of us, let's transform and rollout," commanded Prime. We did so, and again I rode with Jetfire.
"WARP." called out Optimus.
When we finished warping, Jet and I were flying over a tall, grassy field; the others driving below us. From here I could see a forest getting closer and closer. The sun in the sky appeared to be rising and there were few clouds to be seen.
"Hey Jet, where are we?" I asked looking around. My gaze shifted over towards the edge of the forest where I thought I saw something black and white among the green. I did see something black and white; that something was a panda bear. "Never mind. I just answered my own question."
"You did?"
"I just saw a panda; we're somewhere in Asia, I think China."
"Okaaaaay then," he draled out.
"Attention Autobots," I nearly jumped out of my seat when I heard Optimus' voice out of nowhere.
"It's okay Cobalt, It's just my comlink," he said softly.
"Oh."
"The minicon has been located to be three miles away in this direction," continued Optimus. "Scanners also indicated that there is no Decepticon activity in the near vincinity; we got here before them," A couple of cheers were heared from the others and I couldn't help but to smile at their enthusiasm. "Now let's go find that minicon and keep in contact with either Jetfire or I."
Those on the ground were now racing each other towards the forest and even Optimus appeared to be joining in with them.
"Should we join them?" Jet asked me.
"How fast can you fly?" I countered.
"So that's a yes?"
"Yes."
"Hang on then, I'm really fast," There was a slight humming noise for a second and I'm pushed back hard in the seat.
"I love flying!" I cheerfully exclaimed. "Hey Jet, you were going to tell me something about the Requiem Blaster, what is it?"
"The Requiem Blaster? Oh yeah, there are three minicons, Sky Blast, Payload and Astroscope, they combine to form a really big and powerful gun called the Requiem Blaster," he explained.
"Okay, that's cool," I replied.
"While I'm at it, I might as well inform you on the Star Saber and the Skyboom Shield."
"Star Saber? Skyboom Shield?"
"Well the Star Saber is a blue sword, the flight minicons Sonar, Runway and Jetstorm combine to create the Star Saber, Megatron currently has possesion of it."
"Okay then."
"And as for the Skyboom Shield, it's yellow, and again three minicons combine to form it, but I forget their names, thought I do know that they transform into sports cars."
"Okay, what are the Requiem Blaster minicons then?"
"Oh, they're space minicons, meaing that Sky Blast is a rocket, Astroscope is a sattelite and Payload is a truck-like, thing."
"Okay. Hey, you told me that Megatron has the Star Saber, what about Skyboom and Requiem?"
"We have those, Smokescreen carrys the shield because he has this crane that he can use to launch the shield to anyone of us at anytime we need it and Optimus has the Requiem minicons with him."
"Okay, thank you for answering my questions," I replied to him.
"Not a problem Co."
"Oh, I just remembered that I have one more question," I suddenly mentioned. "What does the minicon look like? What am I supposed to look for?"
"The minicons that we search for are in what are called stasis pods before they are awakened. The stasis pods look like green glowing pentagons, they're not that big or heavy, you could easily carry one in your arms and to awaken some of them all you have to do is just touch them," he explained.
"Okay."
I gazed out over the forest, then I saw what appeared to be a very tall figure with horns appear suddenly from nowhere. "Is that?" I asked, pointing at the figure.
"Megatron, yes that is him," Jet replied. Several other figures warped, at least that's what I think they did, in standing next to him. "Optimus, the Decepticons just appeared," he told Optimus over his comlink.
"Good work Jetfire, we're more near the minicon than they are, let's find it so we don't have to get into a battle," he replied back.
"I'm going to land so they won't see me and we can search for the minicon easier," declared Jet.
"That's fine with me," I replied back.
"TRANSFORM," he transformed and set me down on to the ground. The others then drove up and also transformed.
"Let's start searching for the minicon, men," commanded Optimus.
"Yes Sir," everyone said including me, it just felt natural for me to say it since I was helping them. We split up into small groups; Hotshot and Sideswipe, Blurr, Scavenger and Smokescreen and Jetfire and Optimus. I decided to follow Jet and Optimus and ran to keep up with them.
"So why are you following us?" Jet suddenly asked me as I was running.
"I, uh, well I have no reason, so I just am," I crossed my arms for a second, getting my point across. Jet then ran back behind me and picked me up, probably because it was hard for me to keep up by mere running and both of then started to run.
We ran for awhile and I looked around hard for the minicon, but I didn't see it anywhere in all the trees yet. How hard could it be to find a small, green glowing pentagon? Apparently is was very hard. I continued looking around untill something caught my eye. I turned to look and I saw a small green light off to the left. I looked closer and it appeared to be in the shape of a pentagon, I found the minicon!
"I think I found the minicon!" I suddenly exclaimed, startling both of them to a stop.
"Where is it?" asked Optimus.
"I think it's over there," I pointed over to where I saw the small green light. "Do you see it? It's glowing green."
"I see it," replied Jet.
"Good work Cobalt," said Optimus. They then began to run towards the minicon and I looked up towards the sky. Cyclonus was flying over near the minicon and aparrenly he had just spotted it because he suddenly dived for it.
I whipped out my gun, "No way are you getten it Cyclonus creep!" I yelled out. He turned to looked at me but did not stop. I aimed my gun and fired. Thanks to my training with Jet, I managed to fire a few shots that connected with his neck and face.
"That stings!" he yelled and flew upwards away from the minicon. Jet and Optimus brought out their guns and continued firing at Cyclonus as I jumped down from Jet's hand and ran for the minicon; it wasn't to far away. I ran up to it and picked it up and it didn't awaken, but that was hardly on my mind right now as I ran back to the Autobot leaders.
"I've got the minicon!" I called out as I ran towards them.
"Megatron just showed up Optimus," announced Jetfire.
"Good work, keep it for now Cobalt and run away from here," commanded Optimus and I did as he said. I then turned around as I was running.
"TRANSFORM AND COMBINE!" I heard Optimus call out as I saw Optimus transform to become a figure without legs and Jet transform to become another figure with legs but nothing else. They then connected together to form a complete figure. "JET CONVOY!" he called out again. He then flew off towards Megatron and I turned around to watch where I was going as I continued running.
After I ran for a few minutes, I decided that I was far enough away that I could then turn around to watch the battle. Jet Convoy and Megatron were fighting it out, punches, flying kicks and everything! I watched for a few minutes, then my gaze shifted down to the minicon stasis pod in my arms. I turned it so that a styleized M looked back at me, it was then I realized that the minicon had not awakened yet.
"We already have the minicon Megatron, so you might as well retreat," Jet Convoy called out and I looked up.
"What proof do you have Prime?" he questioned. Jet Convoy did not reply but sent an unexpected flying kick to Megatron's face, sending Megatron backwards.
"There's your proof right there," replied Jet Convoy with a voice that sounded predominantly like Jet's. Megatron then put his hand to his face, obscuring it from view.
"Next time Prime, next time," he mumbled. "Decepticons, Retreat!" he yelled out and warped away.
"Oh darn it," exclaimed Cyclonus who just appeared above the trees and warped away along with Megatron.
"We did it?" I wondered. "We did it. We did it! We did it!" I yelled and jumped up and down. "WHOOO! WHOOO!" I did a victory dance which consited mostly of the moon walk and stopped once Jet and Optimus ran over to me.
"Jet, the minicon doesn't seem to be activating," I pointed out.
"Some minicon's just don't react to human touch, I guess this is one of them," he declared.
I walked up closer to him. "You don't have a minicon do you Jet?"
"I don't," he said with sad sounding voice.
"You can have it Jet," I held it out to him.
"You sure Co?"
"I can't activate it, yes, you take it."
"Well okay then, thank you Co," he then took it out of my hands.
He held it up to his Optics, but I could still see what was happening. The pod started to glow with rainbow lights and a grey blue and red minicon with six grey wheels appeared and the rainbow light show faded. "Comettor! I missed you buddy!" he cried out and set him on his shoulder. "Thank you so much Co, it's my partner minicon Comettor!"
The others drove up to us, transforming. "Aww, friends reunited," commented Hotshot when he saw Jetfire talking to Comettor eagerly.
"Yeah, it's sweet," I observed.
When all of us grouped up, we warped back to the base where Red Alert and the kids were there to meet us.
"Did you get the minicon?" asked Rad.
"Yes," I motioned up at Jetfire. "It turns out that it was Jetfire's partner minicon, Comettor."
"That's cool," commented Carlos.
"So you guys got one minicon today," said Fred.
"Actually, it was two," I countered.
"Two?" Rad questioned.
"Yeah, we warped back with the minicon and a minute later the alarm went off again," Hotshot told us.
"Cobalt helped us out this time," I looked up at Jet, politely waiting for him to finish. "She saw the minicon before us after I told her what it looked like and actually provented Cyclonus from getting it."
"I did?"
"Yeah, if you hadn't fired at him, the Decepticons would have my buddy Comettor right now; you're have a pretty good shot Co."
"Aw, thanks Jet," I smiled up at him, blushing.
"Cobalt, what does he mean by shot?" asked Alexis.
"Well, he means, uh, well he means this," I slowly held out my gun laying in my hands.
"Hey, why did she get one and not us?" asked Billy.
"I, uh," I didn't know what to say.
Optimus answered his question. "Jetfire felt that she was responsible enough to have one and that she should have some way to protect herself if the Decepticons were to invade the base again." I nodded to his statement and put my gun away in the pocket of my jeans; I had already 'changed' out of the orange jumpsuit I was wearing.
"Optimus, could we be dismissed now?" asked Jetfire.
"Oh yes, Autobots, dismissed."
We walked to wherever it was we were going and I followed Jet.
"Hey Cobalt, what happened to you?" asked Hotshot.
"Huh? What?" I stopped and turned to face him as to did Jetfire.
"You have soot all over you."
"Oh that. I was at school today and my partner added too much power to our project, and when it exploded, I got caught in the blast," I explained.
"Okay, you should go get some new clothes on," he suggested.
"Yeah, I'll do that," I smiled and waved back to him. I then checked my watch, it displayed 3:30, and I followed Jet out of the room.
The rest of the day was remotely interesting, I changed into some new clothes and went off to see what Jet and the others were doing. At about five, I came back to my room, turned on some cool lights and my favorite music and practiced my martial arts and sword techniques; I have a katana that was a gift from my sword training sensei for excelling in the art of swordsmanship. I was so focused on the music and practicing with my katana that I didn't even hear Jet come in at around 7:00.
"Wow, you're really good Co," he commented. I finished my move, sheathed my sword and turned to look at him.
"That's twice today that you said I was good at something, thanks Jet." I put my sword away and decided to start dinner; I'm in the mood for some salsbury steak and hot tea.
"Hotshot likes swords, I'd bet he'd love to see you practice, you should go to the training room and show the others some time," he suggested and sat down on the floor.
"That's a good idea, I don't have any school tomorrow, I think I will show everyone tomorrow if a minicon doesn't awaken," I put the steak in the microwave and some hot water over the little propane burner I set up; I need to get something to cook over other than a burner or I'll use up all of the propane.
"There's a Decepticon by the name of Starscream, claims himself to be second in command of the Decepticons, really reckless."
"What about him Jet?"
"Well he's a seeker and as for his transformation, he transforms in to a small jet. Because he can transform into a jet, one of his wings pops out to become a sword much like yours."
"I can kind of see where this might be going," I observed as I turned off the burner and poured the tea into a small mug. I placed the mug onto the cup holder on the table and did the same with the tea pot with the pot holder.
"He has a sword like yours and can use it well like you can. But seeing you practice with such concentration and commitment, I'm pretty sure you're better than he is," I took the steak out of the microwave and set it on a plate on the table.
"That's so nice of you to say Jet, I'd bet that everyone would want to be friends with you because if they had a special talent, you could find something nice to say about it and it would cheer them up when they're feeling down and make them feel alright."
"That's sweet, thanks Co."
I sat down at the table and started to eat. As I picked up my mug and drank some tea, I glanced over at Jetfire. He was resting his head in his hand and just seemed to be staring at me or at something near me. It didn't bother me, I just wanted to know why he was.
"You alright Jetfire?" he took his head off of his hand and crossed his arms loosely infront of him.
"Yeah, I'm just thinking about things," he replied.
"Would you like to share, or not?" I took another bite of my steak.
"Well, I was just thinking about what's happening back on Cybertron," he looked up into the air, seeming to stare into space.
"What do you think is happening there right now," I asked him and took a drink of my tea.
"There's probably at least one," just then, Hotshot ran in. "Hey, what's up Hotshot?"
"Come quickly guys, you're not going to belive it," he called out excitedly and ran out of my room.
"Well what are we waiting for, let's go find out what it is," I called out and ran out of my room after him, leaving my half eaten food on the table.
"Wait for me Co," he called out after me while standing up.
"You're ten times my size Jet, it should be easy for you to catch up," I called back.
"How can I? You're running as fast as I am, what'd you eat today?"
"Not ate, drank. I had two cans of pop at school and a can before I started practicing, making it three," I called back to him.
"That must be some powerful stuff."
"It is; we're here," I replied and turned into the control room. I slowed my running and stopped on the left side of Blurr who was looking at me, I started gasping for air.
"You okay Cobalt?" he asked me.
I looked to him. "Yeah, just out of breath right now, I'll be fine."
"Why are you out of breath?"
I turned back and pointed to the doorway. "That's why," I said pointing right when Jetfire came running in.
"You beat him here?" said Blurr sounding surprised. Jetfire walked up beside me on the left.
"Don't ask me how I did it, I just did."
"Do you run like that all the time?" Jet asked me.
"Only when I have the energy to, but that's the fastest I remember running in all my life," I replied.
"How did she beat you here?"
"I wasn't running at full speed, I didn't want to accidentally step on her. So what are we here for?"
"I called you here to introduce you all to a new ally," explains Optimus.
"You're not going to belive who it is," comments Blurr.
A transformer who must have been standing behind Optimus walked out from behind him. He was red, a dull gray and white with red and white wings. On his wing was a purple insignia that vaguely resembled the insignia that all of the Autobots had. Three blue and white minicons stood infront of him. He was not smiling at all, but almost glaring.
"What?" interjected Sideswipe.
"It's Starscream, Cobalt," Jetfire said, sounding shocked.
"Starscream? You said he was a Decepticon. What's going on?" I demanded to know.
"A good question Cobalt," Interrupted Optimus. "I'll let Starscream answer why he's here; go ahead Starscream."
Starscream walked forward a step "I'll tell you why I'm here. I over heard Thrust and Megatron talking about me like I could be thrown away like scrap. I did not tolerate it and so I rebelled against them. I only joined you so I could defeat Megatron; not because of your ideals."
"Hhhh," uttered Prime. "You'll need a place to recharge. Would anyone like to show him to a room?" requested Optimus.
"I will," I volunteered. I'm not sure why, but I just did.
"Cobalt, you don't have to," protested Jetfire.
"That's alright, I'll do it," I objected and motioned for Starscream to follow. He did along with the minicons now beside him and I walked out of the room.
"Alright, but I'm coming with you," declared Jetfire and followed out of the room after me before Starscream did. Jet chose to walk beside me on the left while Starscream and the minicons that were with him walked behind me.
"Why did you choose to help me? Do you not fear me?" he asked me.
"I don't know enough about you to fear you or trust you; I've only been with the Autobots for a little over a day," I told him, still walking.
"But what would you do if I'd choose to attack you?"
"I'd have to shoot you," I replied, placing my hand on the gun in my pocket. "If you've been wondering, it was me who fired on Cyclonus today when the second minicon was awakened."
"I wondered where he got those wounds from, he didn't tell me when I asked. I guess he was to afraid to admit it was a human who shot him, coward."
"Comettor," I murmured, Jet seemed to hear, he looked down at me. "Jet, I haven't seen Comettor anywhere. Where is he?" I asked him.
"He said he was exausted from the excitement of being reunited, so he's recharging right now," he explained to me.
"Well, we're here," I pointed out, stopping infront of the empty room to the right of Jet's and they walked in.
"Hey, not even a thank you or good night, Starscream?" Jet called back at him.
He looked to the side."I have no need for silly human earth customs," and the door closed behind him.
"Well, how rude," commented Jet.
"It's alright Jet. In fact, I think I'll do the same; I still haven't finished my dinner yet and I need to recharge," I stated.
"Don't the humans call it sleep?"
"Yes and many other things too. But I like saying recharge, I mean, that's what it is, isn't it?"
"Yeah, good night Co,"
"Good night Jet, I'll see you tomorrow," and I walked towards my room.
I finished my dinner and cleaned myself of the soot from my project today; I only changed my clothes. As I went to bed, I looked at the clock that displayed 8:45; I had a bit of a hard time with the soot. I layed down in bed and I instantly feel asleep, I must have been really tired.
***
I'm done finally! And it's 15 minutes to 3:00. In the morning. Oh man it's going to be a pain in the but getting up tomorrow afternoon. I'm not kidding, I sleep a good ten hours a night, if I'm allowed the chance. I'm also making progress on my Armada Hockey fic; I'm close to done on the third chapter. I also have two new fics I'm still in the creation process with. One is "The Legs Have a Mind of Their Own" and "Airplane Coffee." That's all you're going to know before I post them, don't worry I will; I don't ever give up on my uncompleted stories, unless they're really, really, really bad, but that's quite rare. If it were a bad idea, I don't even think I would waste paper, kilobytes and time on it. Okay, I'm tired, It's now 2:51 in the morning, I'm going to bed, good night.

"Wow, you jump pretty good Cobalt," claimed Sideswipe.
"Thank you Sideswipe," I replied and jumped down from Optimus' hand.
"BAARING! BAARING! BAARING!"
"EEEK!" I cried and literaly jumped four feet ing the air. "What the heck?!"
"Another minicon has been activated," announced Hotshot and Red Alert ran out of the room.
"Another one?" exclaimed Smokescreen.
"Yes," replied Prime.
"Didn't you guys already find one?" I asked.
"Yes, but these things happen sometimes, sort of like that with the Requiem Blaster," answered Jetfire.
"The Requiem Blaster?" I said confused.
"I'll explain Requiem later," Jet suddenly replied. "Right now, go stand on that orange panel on the ground over there," he pointed to three orange panels outside the doors.

"I'm going to land so they won't see me and we can search for the minicon easier," declared Jet.
"That's fine with me," I replied back.
"TRANSFORM," he transformed and set me down on to the ground. The others then drove up and also transformed.
"Let's start searching for the minicon, men," commanded Optimus.
"Yes Sir," everyone said including me, it just felt natural for me to say it since I was helping them. We split up into small groups; Hotshot and Sideswipe, Blurr, Scavenger and Smokescreen and Jetfire and Optimus. I decided to follow Jet and Optimus and ran to keep up with them.

"I see it," replied Jet.
"Good work Cobalt," said Optimus. They then began to run towards the minicon and I looked up towards the sky. Cyclonus was flying over near the minicon and aparrenly he had just spotted it because he suddenly dived for it.

"I've got the minicon!" I called out as I ran towards them.
"Megatron just showed up Optimus," announced Jetfire.
"Good work, keep it for now Cobalt and run away from here," commanded Optimus and I did as he said. I then turned around as I was running.
"TRANSFORM AND COMBINE!" I heard Optimus call out as I saw Optimus transform to become a figure without legs and Jet transform to become another figure with legs but nothing else. They then connected together to form a complete figure. "JET CONVOY!" he called out again. He then flew off towards Megatron and I turned around to watch where I was going as I continued running.
After I ran for a few minutes, I decided that I was far enough away that I could then turn around to watch the battle. Jet Convoy and Megatron were fighting it out, punches, flying kicks and everything! I watched for a few minutes, then my gaze shifted down to the minicon stasis pod in my arms. I turned it so that a styleized M looked back at me, it was then I realized that the minicon had not awakened yet.

"What proof do you have Prime?" he questioned. Jet Convoy did not reply but sent an unexpected flying kick to Megatron's face, sending Megatron backwards.
"There's your proof right there," replied Jet Convoy with a voice that sounded predominantly like Jet's. Megatron then put his hand to his face, obscuring it from view.
"Next time Prime, next time," he mumbled. "Decepticons, Retreat!" he yelled out and warped away.
"Oh darn it," exclaimed Cyclonus who just appeared above the trees and warped away along with Megatron.
"We did it?" I wondered. "We did it. We did it! We did it!" I yelled and jumped up and down. "WHOOO! WHOOO!" I did a victory dance which consited mostly of the moon walk and stopped once Jet and Optimus ran over to me.
"Jet, the minicon doesn't seem to be activating," I pointed out.
"Some minicon's just don't react to human touch, I guess this is one of them," he declared.
I walked up closer to him. "You don't have a minicon do you Jet?"
"I don't," he said with sad sounding voice.
"You can have it Jet," I held it out to him.
"You sure Co?"
"I can't activate it, yes, you take it."
"Well okay then, thank you Co," he then took it out of my hands.
He held it up to his Optics, but I could still see what was happening. The pod started to glow with rainbow lights and a grey blue and red minicon with six grey wheels appeared and the rainbow light show faded. "Comettor! I missed you buddy!" he cried out and set him on his shoulder. "Thank you so much Co, it's my partner minicon Comettor!"
The others drove up to us, transforming. "Aww, friends reunited," commented Hotshot when he saw Jetfire talking to Comettor eagerly.
"Yeah, it's sweet," I observed.
When all of us grouped up, we warped back to the base where Red Alert and the kids were there to meet us.
"Did you get the minicon?" asked Rad.
"Yes," I motioned up at Jetfire. "It turns out that it was Jetfire's partner minicon, Comettor."
"That's cool," commented Carlos.
"So you guys got one minicon today," said Fred.
"Actually, it was two," I countered.
"Two?" Rad questioned.
"Yeah, we warped back with the minicon and a minute later the alarm went off again," Hotshot told us.
"Cobalt helped us out this time," I looked up at Jet, politely waiting for him to finish. "She saw the minicon before us after I told her what it looked like and actually provented Cyclonus from getting it."
"I did?"
"Yeah, if you hadn't fired at him, the Decepticons would have my buddy Comettor right now; you're have a pretty good shot Co."
"Aw, thanks Jet," I smiled up at him, blushing.
"Cobalt, what does he mean by shot?" asked Alexis.
"Well, he means, uh, well he means this," I slowly held out my gun laying in my hands.
"Hey, why did she get one and not us?" asked Billy.
"I, uh," I didn't know what to say.
Optimus answered his question. "Jetfire felt that she was responsible enough to have one and that she should have some way to protect herself if the Decepticons were to invade the base again." I nodded to his statement and put my gun away in the pocket of my jeans; I had already 'changed' out of the orange jumpsuit I was wearing.
"Optimus, could we be dismissed now?" asked Jetfire.
"Oh yes, Autobots, dismissed."
We walked to wherever it was we were going and I followed Jet.
"Hey Cobalt, what happened to you?" asked Hotshot.
"Huh? What?" I stopped and turned to face him as to did Jetfire.
"You have soot all over you."
"Oh that. I was at school today and my partner added too much power to our project, and when it exploded, I got caught in the blast," I explained.
"Okay, you should go get some new clothes on," he suggested.
"Yeah, I'll do that," I smiled and waved back to him. I then checked my watch, it displayed 3:30, and I followed Jet out of the room.
The rest of the day was remotely interesting, I changed into some new clothes and went off to see what Jet and the others were doing. At about five, I came back to my room, turned on some cool lights and my favorite music and practiced my martial arts and sword techniques; I have a katana that was a gift from my sword training sensei for excelling in the art of swordsmanship. I was so focused on the music and practicing with my katana that I didn't even hear Jet come in at around 7:00.
"Wow, you're really good Co," he commented. I finished my move, sheathed my sword and turned to look at him.
"That's twice today that you said I was good at something, thanks Jet." I put my sword away and decided to start dinner; I'm in the mood for some salsbury steak and hot tea.
"Hotshot likes swords, I'd bet he'd love to see you practice, you should go to the training room and show the others some time," he suggested and sat down on the floor.
"That's a good idea, I don't have any school tomorrow, I think I will show everyone tomorrow if a minicon doesn't awaken," I put the steak in the microwave and some hot water over the little propane burner I set up; I need to get something to cook over other than a burner or I'll use up all of the propane.
"There's a Decepticon by the name of Starscream, claims himself to be second in command of the Decepticons, really reckless."
"What about him Jet?"
"Well he's a seeker and as for his transformation, he transforms in to a small jet. Because he can transform into a jet, one of his wings pops out to become a sword much like yours."
"I can kind of see where this might be going," I observed as I turned off the burner and poured the tea into a small mug. I placed the mug onto the cup holder on the table and did the same with the tea pot with the pot holder.
"He has a sword like yours and can use it well like you can. But seeing you practice with such concentration and commitment, I'm pretty sure you're better than he is," I took the steak out of the microwave and set it on a plate on the table.
"That's so nice of you to say Jet, I'd bet that everyone would want to be friends with you because if they had a special talent, you could find something nice to say about it and it would cheer them up when they're feeling down and make them feel alright."
"That's sweet, thanks Co."
I sat down at the table and started to eat. As I picked up my mug and drank some tea, I glanced over at Jetfire. He was resting his head in his hand and just seemed to be staring at me or at something near me. It didn't bother me, I just wanted to know why he was.
"You alright Jetfire?" he took his head off of his hand and crossed his arms loosely infront of him.
"Yeah, I'm just thinking about things," he replied.
"Would you like to share, or not?" I took another bite of my steak.
"Well, I was just thinking about what's happening back on Cybertron," he looked up into the air, seeming to stare into space.
"What do you think is happening there right now," I asked him and took a drink of my tea.
"There's probably at least one," just then, Hotshot ran in. "Hey, what's up Hotshot?"
"Come quickly guys, you're not going to belive it," he called out excitedly and ran out of my room.
"Well what are we waiting for, let's go find out what it is," I called out and ran out of my room after him, leaving my half eaten food on the table.
"Wait for me Co," he called out after me while standing up.
"You're ten times my size Jet, it should be easy for you to catch up," I called back.
"How can I? You're running as fast as I am, what'd you eat today?"
"Not ate, drank. I had two cans of pop at school and a can before I started practicing, making it three," I called back to him.
"That must be some powerful stuff."
"It is; we're here," I replied and turned into the control room. I slowed my running and stopped on the left side of Blurr who was looking at me, I started gasping for air.
"You okay Cobalt?" he asked me.
I looked to him. "Yeah, just out of breath right now, I'll be fine."
"Why are you out of breath?"
I turned back and pointed to the doorway. "That's why," I said pointing right when Jetfire came running in.
"You beat him here?" said Blurr sounding surprised. Jetfire walked up beside me on the left.
"Don't ask me how I did it, I just did."
"Do you run like that all the time?" Jet asked me.
"Only when I have the energy to, but that's the fastest I remember running in all my life," I replied.
"How did she beat you here?"
"I wasn't running at full speed, I didn't want to accidentally step on her. So what are we here for?"
"I called you here to introduce you all to a new ally," explains Optimus.
"You're not going to belive who it is," comments Blurr.
A transformer who must have been standing behind Optimus walked out from behind him. He was red, a dull gray and white with red and white wings. On his wing was a purple insignia that vaguely resembled the insignia that all of the Autobots had. Three blue and white minicons stood infront of him. He was not smiling at all, but almost glaring.
"What?" interjected Sideswipe.
"It's Starscream, Cobalt," Jetfire said, sounding shocked.
"Starscream? You said he was a Decepticon. What's going on?" I demanded to know.
"A good question Cobalt," Interrupted Optimus. "I'll let Starscream answer why he's here; go ahead Starscream."
Starscream walked forward a step "I'll tell you why I'm here. I over heard Thrust and Megatron talking about me like I could be thrown away like scrap. I did not tolerate it and so I rebelled against them. I only joined you so I could defeat Megatron; not because of your ideals."
"Hhhh," uttered Prime. "You'll need a place to recharge. Would anyone like to show him to a room?" requested Optimus.
"I will," I volunteered. I'm not sure why, but I just did.
"Cobalt, you don't have to," protested Jetfire.
"That's alright, I'll do it," I objected and motioned for Starscream to follow. He did along with the minicons now beside him and I walked out of the room.
"Alright, but I'm coming with you," declared Jetfire and followed out of the room after me before Starscream did. Jet chose to walk beside me on the left while Starscream and the minicons that were with him walked behind me.
"Why did you choose to help me? Do you not fear me?" he asked me.
"I don't know enough about you to fear you or trust you; I've only been with the Autobots for a little over a day," I told him, still walking.
"But what would you do if I'd choose to attack you?"
"I'd have to shoot you," I replied, placing my hand on the gun in my pocket. "If you've been wondering, it was me who fired on Cyclonus today when the second minicon was awakened."
"I wondered where he got those wounds from, he didn't tell me when I asked. I guess he was to afraid to admit it was a human who shot him, coward."
"Comettor," I murmured, Jet seemed to hear, he looked down at me. "Jet, I haven't seen Comettor anywhere. Where is he?" I asked him.
"He said he was exausted from the excitement of being reunited, so he's recharging right now," he explained to me.
"Well, we're here," I pointed out, stopping infront of the empty room to the right of Jet's and they walked in.
"Hey, not even a thank you or good night, Starscream?" Jet called back at him.
He looked to the side."I have no need for silly human earth customs," and the door closed behind him.
"Well, how rude," commented Jet.
"It's alright Jet. In fact, I think I'll do the same; I still haven't finished my dinner yet and I need to recharge," I stated.
"Don't the humans call it sleep?"
"Yes and many other things too. But I like saying recharge, I mean, that's what it is, isn't it?"
"Yeah, good night Co,"
"Good night Jet, I'll see you tomorrow," and I walked towards my room.
I finished my dinner and cleaned myself of the soot from my project today; I only changed my clothes. As I went to bed, I looked at the clock that displayed 8:45; I had a bit of a hard time with the soot. I layed down in bed and I instantly feel asleep, I must have been really tired.
***
I'm done finally! And it's 15 minutes to 3:00. In the morning. Oh man it's going to be a pain in the but getting up tomorrow afternoon. I'm not kidding, I sleep a good ten hours a night, if I'm allowed the chance. I'm also making progress on my Armada Hockey fic; I'm close to done on the third chapter. I also have two new fics I'm still in the creation process with. One is "The Legs Have a Mind of Their Own" and "Airplane Coffee." That's all you're going to know before I post them, don't worry I will; I don't ever give up on my uncompleted stories, unless they're really, really, really bad, but that's quite rare. If it were a bad idea, I don't even think I would waste paper, kilobytes and time on it. Okay, I'm tired, It's now 2:51 in the morning, I'm going to bed, good night.
Cobalt
