Crystal-Wolf-Guardian-967: Glad you did! Thanks for the review!
"Look, I can't be any clearer than how crystal clear I'm being. It just stood up." Kay blinked and forced her eyes open once more. She was standing beside Ron while Loopy Cop interrogated Sam.
"It just stood up." He looked towards his goons then back to Sam. "Wow. That's really neat. Okay, chiefie. Time to fill her up. And no drippy-drippy," Loopy Cop said, holding out a pill bottle and handkerchief to him. Sam stared at them blankly. "What are you rolling? Whippets? Goofballs? A little wowie sauce with the boys?"
"No, I'm not on any drugs."
"What's these?" Loopy said, catching Mojo's pain pills in his hand. "Found it in your pocket. 'Mojo.'" He sniffed and glanced at Sam, though Kay caught his gaze flicking to her. And not her eyes. "Is that what the kids are doing now?
Little bit of Mojo?"
"Those are my dogs pain pills." Loopy glanced at Ron.
"Yeah, you know. Chihuahua." Loopy sighed and rubbed his face then caught Sam staring at his gun.
"What was that?" He pulled his jacket back, flashing his gun. "You eyeballing my piece, 50 Cent? You wanna go? Make something happen. Do it. 'Cause I promise you I will bust you up." By the end he was in Sam's face and Sam was flinching, though had a confused look.
"Are you on drugs?" he whispered. With that, Kay burst out laughing. She garnered glares from everyone in the room except Sam, but did not care. Loopy growled but released us and we went straight home. When I exited the car I bid them farewell and ran home, patting Bee on the hood and walking inside. There, I spent two hours cleaning and doing chores before I heard Bee honk. I walked out and stared.
"Yeah?"
"How ya'll doin'?... It's time to...go." Kay nodded and locked the door then climbed in, glad that Bee tinted the windows. He then went to Sam's house, freaking him out to the point of chasing him around town. At one point he hit uneven cement in front of a Burger King and did a flip before landing on his back. Kay flinched.
"Ouch," she muttered. She saw Mikaela converse with him for a bit before Sam took off again. He got underneath the highway in a car graveyard before losing the two chasers. "Darn," Kay growled. The two prowled around until Kay heard large thumps and Sam. She looked out the windshield and saw Sam running with a more menacing version of Bee with red eyes behind him. "There!" Before Bee could take off she jumped out and bolted towards Sam. Bee followed and rammed into the robot's legs after Sam caused Mikaela to fall off her moped.
"Sam, Kay, what is that?" Mikaela demanded. Kay pointed to the unknown robot.
"I have no idea who that is. That," she pointed to Bee, "is Bumblebee. C'mon hop in." She jumped in the driver side and motioned for the two to get in. After a few seconds Sam jumped in the back and Mikaela in the passenger seat. Then the chase began.
"We're gonna die. We're gonna die," Mikaela kept repeating in some form or fashion. Sam tried to reassure her but changed his mind when he saw they were headed for a wall. Kay was silent, her body tense and flowing with adrenaline. They smashed through the window and spun around, driving back out and into another train yard. Bee pulled in a side road and shut down.
"What's with you and train yards?" Kay muttered, rubbing the seat in a comforting habit. She felt Bee suppress a shiver as the cop car passed them. "Who is that?" she whispered.
"Street barricades have been set up-," was said just as quiet.
"Barricade?" A confirmation chirp sounded over the radio as his engine revved to life, speeding into a clearing. There he ejected the three and transformed for the first time in front of Mikaela and Sam.
"What!" Sam exclaimed. Kay grabbed his and Mikaela's wrist and started to drag them.
"No time. Let's go. C'mon." She dragged the two a bit until a small robot landed on the ground in front of Barricade and ran for them. They all ran off, Kay behind the two, and tried to find cover. Kay was tripped to the ground and listened as it muttered in weird chirps and clicks until she suddenly understood him.
~Stupid organic femme! Where are the glasses? Where are the glasses? Give me the glasses!~
"What glasses?" she exclaimed, trying to push him back with a foot. He suddenly froze.
~You understand me?~ Kay nodded.
"Yeah. Is that good or bad?" The little robot chuckled evilly.
"Good for me, bad for you." Kay's eyes widened in horror as the little thing turned towards the battle, it's eyes dimming then brightening. Barricade suddenly turned and ran towards them, grabbing at Kay. She yelped as his grip tightened sharply on her ribs.
"Shoot me you shoot the femme," he growled. Bee stopped, his doorwings drooping as he looked between Kay and Barricade.
~Put her down,~ he growled.
"Hey! You can talk!" Bee stared at her in shock.
~You understand me?~ Barricade growled and tightened his grip, causing Kay to squeak. Sam and Mikaela suddenly appeared practically out of nowhere, the little bot nowhere to be seen. Sam took one look at the scene and caught Kay's eyes, giving her a look neither robot could decipher. He grabbed Mikaela and backed a few feet away while Kay started growling.
"Bad move holding me captive," she said, a strange tone in her voice and glint in her eyes. Suddenly, the yellow ring around her pupils expanded and took up her entire eye. Barricade froze, the scowl still on his face, and a grid appeared on his entire body. Then, each square started spiking at random angles then shrinking, growing, or returning to normal. It continued for two seconds before he burst into many pixel type objects and Kay started falling to the ground. The yellow disappeared from her eyes as she stared at the rapidly nearing ground only to be caught by a silver hand. "Thanks Bee," she said quietly.
"What was that?" Mikaela asked. Kay and Sam glanced at her at the same time.
"I can see several dimensions at once at some points in time. I can even summon or send items to or from them. It takes a lot out of me, however." Kay felt her body slowly shutting down, already tired from the lack of sleep, and barely registered they were headed somewhere and that last night's fiasco was a message to friends before Bee transformed, laying Kay down on the back seat and allowing her to sleep.
Kay was awakened to Sam prodding her.
"You keep doing that I'll rip your hand off." Sam chuckled.
"You sure you don't want to see this?" Kay sat up to see they were in an alleyway, cars surrounding them. She also noticed something different about her current housing.
"What happened to Bee?"
"Upgrade time!" Kay nodded and hopped out. She did a quick circle and saw first that Bee was now a 2007 Camaro and surrounding them were a custom GMC Topkick, a Pontiac Solstice, a Hummer H2 Search and Rescue, and a Peterbilt 379.
"I feel like I'm in the middle of a modern day car show." Then, the amazing part. All of them started shifting and forming into giant robots like Bee. Kay stared in amazement. "Holy shiz." When they finished the largest, which transformed into the Peterbilt, knelt down in front of Sam.
"Are you Samuel James Witwicky? Descendant of Archibald Witwicky?" he asked. Kay could tell he was a he because of how deep his voice was. Mikaela muttered something as Sam stared. Kay growled and smacked his head, earning a whine.
"C'mon! Don't leave the man, er, bot hanging!" Bee chuckled, used to the display while Sam glared for a second before turning back to the robot.
"Yeah?" Kay groaned as he made it sound like a question.
"My name is Optimus Prime. We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the planet Cybertron."
"You can call us Autobots for short," the Hummer said.
"What's crackin' lil peeps?" the Pontiac stated. Kay smiled, liking him already.
"He's my favorite besides Bee," she said.
"My first lieutenant, designation Jazz." Optimus stated.
"This looks like a cool place to kick it," Jazz said while doing a little flip. He was the same color as her jacket and had a bright blue visor. She blinked and suddenly saw a shadow. She quickly checked her glasses that she somehow managed to retain and found no smudges. Also surprising.
"What's, how'd he learn to talk like that?" Sam asked.
"I got a guess," Kay muttered.
"We learned Earth's languages through the World Wide Web."
"I win," Kay stated with a smile. She saw Jazz smirk.
"My Weapons Specialist, Ironhide." Ironhide, the Topkick, spun two enormous cannons on his wrists and stopped them while they were pointing at Sam.
"You feelin' lucky, punk?" Sam took a step behind Kay who smiled brighter, the gleam from earlier back in her eyes.
"Oh yes." Sam glanced at her then smacked her. She rubbed her head and glared at him.
"No. No sending his cannons to the empty dimension. I'm pretty sure he likes them." Kay pouted.
"You're no fun." Mikaela stared at them like they were crazy while Ironhide was plain confused.
"Empty dimension?" Sam shivered as he remembered the time he and Kay figured out her 'specialness' at the same time. Kay did as well.
"You don't want to know." Optimus blinked a few times then moved on to the Hummer.
"Our Medical Officer, Ratchet." Ratchet made a sniffing motion with his 'nose'.
"The boy's pheromone levels suggests he wants to mate with one of the females." Kay glared at Sam.
"Samuel James Witwicky, keep your pheromone levels in check or I ain't getting any kiddies from you two." Kay stared at their expressions for a second before bursting into laughter. She then squeaked when a tingly sensation washed over her. "What was that?" She looked towards Ratchet to see him glaring.
"How much sleep have you had in the past two days? And how did your ribs break?" he questioned.
"Uh, a couple of hours?" The answer was enough. Kay quickly bolted behind Jazz's leg, as she was nearest to him, when Ratchet reached for her. She made sure to stay out of Ratchet's reach. "I have a good explanation for the ribs. I was manhandled by Barricade as soon as his little minion told him something. Oh, you never told me why you never spoke," she said as she pointed at Bee.
"He can't," Jazz said, glancing at Kay as she hid behind his leg. Kay blinked.
"Yeah he can. I heard him growling at Barricade." Ratchet got an idea and told it to Jazz over their comm system.
~He can only speak in a dialect of Cybertronian that scouts and saboteurs can understand,~ Jazz said. Kay blinked in confusion.
"Where'd your accent go?" Jazz chuckled.
"Well lil lady, it seems ya can understand Cybertronian." Kay was vaguely aware of Optimus explaining something to Sam in the background while she stared at the bot.
"Autobot say what now?" Jazz chuckled and picked Kay up, setting her on his shoulder as she watched the rest of Prime's explanation.
::I'm keeping this one,:: he told Bee. Bee glanced at him in amusement.
::Nah, she's mine.:: Jazz smirked.
::We'll see.:: Optimus finished his explanation.
"Sam Witwicky, you hold the key to Earth's survival." Kay chuckled.
"Please tell me you have those glasses?" Mikaela whispered. Sam turned and glanced at Kay, surprised to see her smiling.
"What's got you smiling?" Kay laughed.
"Oh, you know what they say. When life gives you lemons, make grape juice and leave life wondering. Or get mad, but that one is a rant." Sam chuckled. "You do still have your great-great-grandpappy's glasses, right?" Sam nodded and Kay suddenly found herself in the driver's seat of Jazz's alt mode. "Seriously, you guys gotta warn me before you do this stuff." Jazz chuckled.
"Where would tha fun be in tha'?" Kay nodded.
"True. I'm gonna sleep for a bit, if only to get on Ratch's good side. Wake me when we get there?" Jazz chuckled again.
"Sure thing, femme."
"Hey, Kay?" Kay groaned.
"I'm trying to sleep, Samuel."
"Where'd you send Barricade?" Kay opened her eyes and thought about that.
"I don't know. He's still in the same dimension, that's for sure."
"How would you know that?" Ironhide asked. Kay chuckled.
"Sam was able to wake me." A chorus of chuckles was heard as Kay softened into Jazz's seat once more, closing her eyes and drifting into sleep.
Yes, I took away Jazz's cuss. Sorry if anyone doesn't like that, but I gotta keep this K+!
