Hey everyone! It has been a while since I posted for this hasn't it? I am sorry about that. Real Life can be a pain sometimes. But Oh well... Nothing much to say other then lets get to the good stuff...
The room was quite, no one really knew what to say. The small mech who sat on the berth looked quickly from The Fallen, who had shown up a moment before, to Megatron before looking back down at itself. His hands made a light scraping sound as they ran over the metal of his body. His optics moved quickly as he looked over as much of his body as he could. The silence of the room was broken by a low groan from the far side of the med bay. Slowly Hook picked himself up off the floor and began looking over his body for damage.
"Lousy pit spawned scrap heap!" He muttered.
"Hook!" Megatron snapped making the medic jump.
Turning around Hook's optics went wide as he saw both Megatron and The Fallen standing in the med bay both looking up set.
"Lord Megatron! Master!" He said looking between the two larger mechs. "Forgive me, I was unaware of your presence..." He knelt down and lowered his head and started muttering more apologies.
"Not now!" The Fallen snapped. "Come here and tell us what this thing is?"
Hook quickly got up and rushed over to the two mechs. Looking down at the berth his optics went wider than before at the sight of the small mech.
"Amazing!" He said looking closer. "It looks almost like a sparkling, but its body is much more developed."
Hook extended one of his clawed fingers with the intention of touching the small mech but he swung at the finger and stood up. He shook for a few moments before seeming to gain his balance.
"Hey! I don't know what the hell a sparkling is, but someone had better tell me what happened to me!" He yelled.
"Interesting..." Hook said again. "It has the same vocal patterns as the human Sam..."
"I AM SAM!" He yelled. "What the hell happened to me?" The force of his yelling made him wobble and he fell back onto the berth with a hard metallic bang.
The Fallen and Megatron looked at each other before glaring at Hook waiting for some kind of explanation.
"Well... judging by the massive amounts of AllSpark radiation that has been coming from your body the past few hours I would say that is the cause of your current state..." Hook said. "Although where the material for the body came from is a mystery to me..."
"If what you say is true then the material came from there." Megatron said pointing to the off line form of Starscream.
Looking over the downed seeker for a moment Hook nodded his head. "Yes, with as much armor that is missing I would say that you are correct Lord Megatron."
"Hey!" Sam yelled, the mouth cover moving with his words. "What does this mean? Am I stuck like this?"
"I am not sure Sam." Hook told him. "I can find out the extent of the change if you will let me link into you."
The news made Sam a little nervous. He looked quickly to The Fallen who nodded his head slowly telling him it was alright. It was odd but Sam found comfort in the simple gesture.
"Alright..." Sam said slowly. "How does this work?"
A few plates shifted on Hook's arm and he pulled out a long cable with a spike like tip. "All mechs have at least one data port, it is normally located on the back of their head or helm." Hook told him. "If you could turn around so I can get to yours..."
Slowly Sam turned until his back was facing the three Decepticons, he felt a little uncomfortable that he couldn't see what was going on but, surprisingly, he trusted that The Fallen wouldn't let anything happen to him.
"This might feel a little strange at first..." Hook told him as he started to press the cable to the port at Sam's head.
Sam tensed up at first but slowly relaxed, that was until he felt the tip of the spiked cable begin to push into his head. He jumped away from Hook and yelled loudly.
"You must stay still!" Hook told him sternly. "If you do that when the cable is inside you then it can cause extreme pain! Not to mention the fact that it can severely damage your internal systems."
"You know what... I think I change my mind..." Sam said backing away from Hook. "I am up for a lot of things to find out what happened but I draw the line at a large spike shoved in my head."
"Stop acting like a hatching." Hook said reaching for Sam.
Sam tried to move out of the way but since he wasn't used to his new form he couldn't move as fast as normal and Hook was quickly able to wrap his servo around Sam's body.
"Please... let me go..." Sam begged trying to pull himself from Hook's grip.
To everyone's surprise Sam was able to push Hook's fingers away from his body a little before the pressure increased and he was held tightly again.
"The change has obviously made you stronger." Hook said trying to keep his grip on the boy. "Stop struggling and this will go by faster."
A deep grinding sound came from the Fallen which made both Hook and Sam stop there small fight. The large dark mech simply held out his hand and Hook placed Sam into it without argument. Gently The Fallen wrapped his large fingers around Sam's body holding him firmly.
"You will remain still until Hook is finished." The Fallen said calmly.
Sam wanted to argue but at the glare The Fallen gave him he stayed silent. The Fallen looked at Hook and nodded his head giving him permission to make the link to Sam. Taking the command Hook moved closer to Sam and brought the spiked cable up to the port at the back of his head. Sam sucked in a breath as the tip of the spike began to push into the port. It made him want to pull away but he knew that he couldn't. Instead he gripped the large finger of The Fallen tightly as it pressed further and further into his head. He could feel it enter into what he hoped was still his brain.
It felt cold and hot at the same time and made him very uncomfortable. A whimper escaped from him and he gripped the metal in front of him tighter.
"Almost there..." Hook said.
A second later there was a loud click and Sam felt his whole body relax. The spike was numb inside his head and it felt like something was being drained out through the spike. Hook's optics darkened at he began to sort through the millions of files and systems of the small mech. He was surprised when he found several hundred files that where completely locked, no matter what he did he could not open them. Deciding to move on and come back to them later on he began searching again for something that could help.
It took almost an hour and a half before Hook found something useful. When he did, his optics went wide and he pulled out of Sam's systems a little, he kept the connection so that he could keep scanning for any problems but he was now able to talk to the others in the room.
"I believe that I have found something that might interest everyone..." Hook said.
"What is it?" Megatron asked.
"It seems as if this armor is just that." Hook told them. "He still has his human body; it is simply being covered and protected under all this armor."
The room was quiet as the news sank into everyone. A heavy sigh came from Sam breaking the silence.
"Oh thank god!" Sam said. "So I am not stuck like this? You can get this off?"
"Well... yes and no..." Hook said. "It can come off, but if what I am seeing is right then it is still a living part of you."
"Speak clearly!" The Fallen snapped.
Hook jumped a little but got over his small moment of fear quickly. "I think it would be best to show you..."
Hook motioned for The Fallen to place Sam down on the berth and reluctantly he did. Sam stood for a moment before falling onto his rear end.
"Now just relax Sam... I don't know how this will feel to you." Hook told him.
Hook's optics darkened again as he dove back into Sam's systems, it didn't take him long to find the program he was looking for. With a small amount of force he was able to take control of the program and activate it. As fast as he could Hook pulled out of Sam's systems and detached the cable from the back of his head.
Sam gasped and his body shook and went stiff. A painful moan came from him quickly followed by a high pitched whine and a series of clicks from the metal on his body. Slowly and with a lot of grinding the dark metal plates on Sam's body began to break apart and compact themselves. Slowly small patches of tanned skin began to appear as the armor continued to compact itself and shift along Sam's body. The whole process lasted for about five minutes. Finally Sam sat before the three mechs almost back to his normal self. There were a few changes though... and all three Decepticons noticed that they were big changes.
The most noticeable was that Sam's body now had several heavy black jagged lines running along his body... they where heaviest around his neck where the collar was and on his chest. All three mechs noticed that all of Sam's cloths where gone, and it didn't take Sam long to figure that out as well. The moment he found that out he covered himself up as best he could and yelled for something to cover himself with. Hook managed to find an old rag and gave it to Sam who wrapped it around his waist. As he wrapped the rag, which to him was like a bed sheet, around his body he looked at the heavy marks on his body and gasped.
Crouching down Sam tried to look at his reflection in the metal of the berth but it was too cloudy for him to see clearly.
"Get me a mirror... or something!" He demanded.
Hook looked around for a moment but was only able to find a polished section of metal. He quickly brought it over and Sam yelled when he looked at himself. He ran his hands over the lines on his body and noticed that they didn't feel different from his normal skin.
"What the hell!" He asked. "And what the hell happened to my eyes!"
Sam leaned closer staring intensely at his reflections eyes. His eyes which were once brown were now a deep almost bloody red. Raising his hand Sam touched the skin just under his right eye gasping at the dark color.
"This... this can't be happening..." He muttered. "I must be dreaming..."
"I am afraid not Sam..." Hook said. "This is real, although extremely unbelievable. Were I not here to see it with my own optics I would not believe it."
Sam continued to stare at his reflection shaking his head and muttering to himself. "Nonononono... How the hell can this get any worse?"
Alright there you go. I hope that everyone liked how I made Sam, I wanted something different from what I normally do. So make sure to let me know what you thought of Sam's Cybertronian armor. The details of it will be explained in the next chapter along with some other things.
