The techno-organics
Chapter 2
"What was that?" Asked Arcee and broke the heavy silence that had set over the base. Ratchet who stood confused and waited for an explanation could not stand being left out. "What are you talking about? What happened out there?" The team turned around and faced the medic. "There was something in the mines. It looked like a human but it..." Optimus remembered the moment he looked into the strange creatures eyes. Eyes that seemed to big for her skull and held the colors of a galaxy. "She had this power that made it possible to hold the entire mine when it collapsed."
"And she flew." Added Bulkhead. "She was flying in the air and she was glowing." Ratchet who now understood the situation spoke his mind. "Are you saying that another alien life form was in the cave with you."
"What do you think it could have been?" Asked Arcee and put her arms over her chest.
"Judging its power and its appearance it could have been a Stellar Sapien, but they have been extinct for century's."
Bumblebee said something and it brought everybody's attention.
"Bee's right, she did say something." Arcee pointed out.
"Yeah right, right before she let the roof fall on top of us." Bulkhead commented sourly. Optimus took a moment to recall her words and he remembered how sad she sounded when she spoke with that little childlike voice of hers.
"She said "I just wanted to talk to you"." And when he repeated those words he finally understood that they where directed at him.
"That's odd," Ratchet said and broke Optimus's train of thoughts. "But shouldn't we also consider the fact that the Decepticons also witnessed her and what they might do with the knowledge of someone like her are living on this planet."
An enormous spaceship circled the planet earth, the Nemesis, the Decepticons base of operation.
"Tell me exactly what happened down there and tell me everything you know about the intruder." He ordered his subordinates.
"We didn't see much, lord Megatron." A red handsome robot spoke first. "But it looks like we aren't the only extra terrestrials living on this planet. And this one had extraordinary powers that was powerful enough to hold together an entire collapsing mine, fly and throw it right back at us to escape." The information was not all to satisfying but it was enough to peek his interest and ask his third in command Soundwave to get all the surviving footage of the event. It did not take long before he got a clear footage that he showed on his visor, of the strange girl caught in action.
"Arachnid, you have greater expertise of interstellar species's." A smaller spider like robot stepped forward to take a better look. "Can you see what this is?"
"Hard to say, my liege." She admitted but instead of getting frustrated, it made the war lord all the more curios. "There is a lot of humanoid lifeforms in the universe but I can't recall any of them sharing this ones looks or abilities." He had heard enough and knew what he needed to do.
"Soundwave, see if you can isolate her energy signature and find out where she's. I want to find that female and I want to know what her purpose was to be in those mines." The spidercon smirked as she spoke to her master, "But that's not all, I guess?"
The huge silver mech smiled as he answered, "If we can capture her she can become a fine new asset to the Decepticons, and who knows what other creatures that can be hiding along side her."
In the old house in London the children had just found out about their friends little adventure.
"Alabaster, what did you do?" Yelled Freedom at her. Her eyes who started of as amber had shifted to blazing red, just like her fathers. She was enraged but moreover, she was terrified.
"How could you be so selfish? You have put all of us in danger." Now everybody was gathered in the living room and they all shared Freedom's fears, but none of them said a word. They new that Alabaster and Freedom rarely fought, but when they did, it was best to let them discuss it alone.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean too." Fragile as she was, she started to cry, and Freedom stopped screaming when she saw what she did. She hated to see Alabaster cry, and she felt extremely guilty when she was the one to blame this time.
"But why? Why did you do it?" She said while her voice cracked of the growing fear inside her. Alabaster finished crying and dried her eyes and a pink hue was left around her eyes.
"I just...I just..." She sniffed and hiccuped before she could answer. "I just wanted to see my original." She said and started to cry again. Everybody else was stunned, but not of anger or disgust of any kind, but rather amazement and subtle jealousy over that she was able to see her original. It was quiet and no one dared say a thing before Flash ticked and broke the silence.
"Did you see him?" Alabaster locked up and saw Freedom with a sad apologizing smile with her normal eye color. "Tell us everything." She easily lifted Alabaster up and sat her down on the couch while everybody else waited impatiently. Freedom held Alabaster in a possessive embrace like she usually did and calmly drew her dark hand trough Alabaster's snow white hair. Ones Alabaster could relax against her beloved friends chest she started to talk about her adventure.
"Yes, I saw my original. I saw my dad, and he was huge, biggest of them all and he was blue and red and wore a similar helmet as mine." They all looked at her in awe and asked for more. "I was not paying much attention to the others but I saw a cybertronian who was bright red and looked very similar to the twins." The twins heard and squealed loudly as they hugged each other and jumped in excitement. "And I saw a yellow Autobot and a blue female Autobot." Flash lifted the youngest in the group, Wasp, and spun him around in the air while they both laughed.
"Did you hear that? I have a mother." Wasp extended his insect wings and flew around in the air while cheering, "And I have a father," and made a loop. While most of them was happy for the stories, one had to bring the problem up.
"Guys," Toni disturbed the cheering with her serious tone. "While this is all exciting and I'm happy for you guys, aren't we forgetting about something very important." The atmosphere in the room changed abruptly. "They saw Alabaster using her power, that is gonna make them turn a few heads. They are probably looking for her." Alabaster curled into a ball and buried her face in Freedoms chest like a child.
"What are we gonna do? This can lead them to us, they might find us, and we will be locked up again..." Anastasia cut of to panic in Russian and her brother tried to calm her down.
"We do nothing." Freedom said and they all looked at her. "They will probably be extra alert and detect any abnormalities. So we have to stay low, use our powers to a minimum and simply act and look as human as possibly so we don't attract any attention."
"I get what you're saying," Widow said. A short dark skinned woman in revealing clothing. "But if we do a mistake and they find us, what do we do?" Freedom thought for a moment and hugged the little albino girl in her arms before she turned to another girl with lavender hair and dark blue hoodie.
"Canary, in case something happens, can you find another hide out. As a backup plan." Canary smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"But, Freedom," little Wasp chirped and flew in front of her. "If something happens, do we have permission to fight them?" Freedom stared at the little boy before slowly dragging her hand reassuringly trough his hair.
"Yes, you do have permission."
