Vehicon Chapter 2. OverClock

Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers as it is the property of Hasbro.

Ugh, My head, My processor feels like it just got scrambled. Augh, I'm buried in rubble, and it's kinda hard to move. Wait, How am I not dead? I am pretty sure I died. So how am I here? And Why don't I feel any pain besides the headache?

I forced myself to sit up which was hard thanks to all the rocks covering me. I really wish I had 2 handsโ€ฆ..Wait, I do! I'm wiggling my right hand's fingers! I haven't had a right hand for 2 months!

Heh, if I was a boy I would make a dirty joke but I'm not so I'll settle with getting out of this rubble! It was hard but with several minutes of effort, I managed to extricate myself from the massive pile of rock. I then realized that It was pitch black with no source of light except my optics.

Yeah, no, I am not sitting in the dark! Now, I'm going to go through my files and schematics and figure out how to get some light! Hm? This can't be right. My schematics, they've changed!

How? My build looks nothing like it did before I went offline! Okay, let's just get the lights on. After a few seconds I triggered something and I felt something slide from the top of my head onto my face and I was both able to see and then I started getting lots of new data from somewhere!

It was like my mental self was confined in a box and now I have several windows into the real world! I even recognize some of them, thermal, night vision, radiation, and last but not least, Energon Detection. I could see them in the walls, small fragments and some not so small. This is from the Energon Driller!

Things started to come together in my mind as I looked around and saw that the Energon Driller was completely gone though if I'm intact it should be too. Somehow, I must have merged with the Energon Driller! But how? Could the one who sent me here have done it? Or is it something else? He did say I would get some gifts. I guess a one-time revival is one of them. I looked over myself and if I could cry I would! I had curves! Big ones! And that wasn't the only big thing I found as I touched myself all over, gave a little show, didn't I?

I discovered that I was no longer a generic Vehicon Miner! But a somewhat Stocky purple FemBot! with boobies! Oh by the Spark I missed my breasts! And they're quite big, aren't they?

CLANK!

Oh, they aren't soft. Disappointing but let's move on!

My waist wasn't super thin but definitely smaller than my top and bottom. My Hips! Oh, my hips! Again, quite big, and my thighs? Wooh! I could choke a person with them.

The last but not least important part was my butt. It matched my top if you get what I'm saying? It makes sense though, since if I did merge with the Energon Driller which was bigger than I was, then some changes should be expected. I was always thin so being EXTRA THICC! Is a strange, but a nice change of pace. Anything is better than being a man.

Of course, I also had bigger shoulders, enlarged forearms, and bigger feet and hands but that was fine. Don't you know men nowadays like a woman with meat on her bones? I bet you males watching already want me to sit on you!

But I'm no cheap Tramp! I need a REAL MAN! Not that I actually know what kind, I never dated and so my knowledge of real men and not 2D ones are...nonexistent. But back to my escape!

I needed to escape and figure out my next move! I wasn't worried about air since I'm a Slagging Robot! But I would need Energon at some point so I had both some time and no time. So I sat down and went through my entire system. Not a single one was spared as I tried to find anything that could help me escape my grave.

Let's see, extremely reinforced Chassis? I looked at my bountiful bosom and shook my head. Very important! But not helpful right now. Battle Visor equipped with several sensors? Already deployed to let me see. Oh, that's neat. They are in the shape of my old faceplate. But wait! Does that mean? YES! I have lips!

I didn't notice since I don't talk much! Could, Could I have a woman's voice now? Let's test it, shall we? I lifted my battle visor that was like a welder's mask and I touched my face with my sharp fingers.

"Testing? Testing? Oh, Oh Spark I sound just like I did before I died! My voice is beautiful!"

My slightly scratchy feminine voice spilled from my perky lips and my blue optics blinked in the darkness. This is SO much better than before! With this, I knew for certain that I was no longer XL888, the male Miner Vehicon.

"My Name is OverClock! The Fembot Vehicon! And once I get out of here? The whole world is going to see me STRUT MY STUFF! YEAH!"

I fist-pumped as I proclaimed my name to the heavens! Even while doing this with my main system my secondary system continued its search. Wow, so far my changes are to make me physically stronger and bulkier. I bet that's due to how chunky the Driller was and maybe my respawn tried to address the fact I was severely damaged so I needed to be a tank? Ooh! I found something! I got arm weapons now and they are integrated!

You might not understand why this is so awesome so let me explain! You see, All Transformers need something called T Cogs to scan vehicle modes and transform. This also includes being able to use integrated weapons. So, what does it mean for a Transformer that wasn't created with a T Cog to have integrated weapons? It means that I have one and I can transform!

I bet that my vehicle mode is the Energon Driller! Which I can use to escape! Alright! Let's try out these arm weapons then transform and get out of here! These were activated by my main system like flexing a muscle in my arms that wasn't there before. My hands collapsed into my bulky forearms and what emerged was a pair of Energon Drills!

They looked exactly like the one found in front of the Energon Driller but shrunk to fit on my arms. This meant it was glowing purple, covered in spines, and what was most important, perfect for drilling out of here! As I spun them up I couldn't help but laugh. I'm called Overclock and my weapons spin! Like a clock!

They revved up with great speed and as a test, I touched one to the wall. It carved through it like a hot knife through butter and I then used both at the same time. With both, I was able to create a large tunnel in very little time which means that I will be keeping my Miner title. Why? Because my battle mask was a welder's mask, my main weapons were drills, and my vehicle mode should be an Energon Driller! Themes! Themes make everything better! And what kind of Drill bot would I bet if I wasn't a Miner?

But I stopped my drills and put them away as I couldn't test their other features and risk a cave-in. What? Do you want to know the other features too? Heh, you'll need to wait and see! They're pretty awesome. Now, for the main event! I didn't even have to check my System to know that I had a T Cog and like all Transformers it was instinct to use it!

"Overclock! Transform and RISE UP!"

I willed myself to transform and I waited for the cool transformation sequence!... Any second now, any second nowโ€ฆ.

"WHY AM I NOT TRANSFORMING!?"

I screamed in frustration as I tried again and again to transform! But nothing happened. I searched with my mental system to find out why and I was stunned. My Tcog, it's blank? There's no vehicle mode stored! Impossible! Inconceivable! I absorbed an Energon Driller! How can I not have it as a Vehicle mode!

"What a Ripoff!"

I grumbled as I looked over the T Cog as I drilled my way upwards with my drills. Doesn't matter if I don't have it as my drills will pierce the heavens! Oh, that's why. In my mental view, I was looking at the T Cog and instead of having the Energon Driller in its vehicle slot I instead have two empty vehicle slots. Doesn't that mean I can have two vehicle modes?! That's awesome! I can have a ground mode and a flying mode! But why two? Maybe it's because I have two systems and each one gets its own Vehicle mode?

If that's the case then it's further proof that my Orion was worthy of my love! Soon I busted through the surface and moonlight shined down on me and I pulled myself out of the hole. I looked up at the full moon as I withdrew my drills.

"I'm Free!"

I cheered aloud as I knew no one could hear me and I turned my head back to see that the entire mine had collapsed. I could see some small pieces of Energon but they weren't worth the effort to go after. Now that I am free I should check on what was going on in my absence. I still had access to the Decepticon channels and soon learned that I had been offline for about a month. A Lot has happened since then. For one, Megatron was dead! He blew up with the Space bridge!

That thing was our only means to get back to Cybertron! Without that, all Cybertronians were now trapped here. I honestly didn't mind as I was a human to start with but as I learned with myself and my Orion, a cornered rat will bite the cat.

The Autobots also had the help of 3 human children though without a direct link to the Nemesis I could only get audio reports and they were limited. Which didn't help me much! I hope that Radical is okay. I checked online but he wasn't on which meant I couldn't ask. And to add insult to injury Skyquake, a powerful fighter was killed under the command of Starscream! That definitely didn't help his reputation. Heh, no matter what setting he's in Starscream is bound for failure.

But what should I do now? The Decepticons nor the Autobots know of my existence. So comes a big question. Should I rejoin the Decepticons? Throw my lot in with the Autobots? Or go solo? I looked down at my cleavage as the purple Decepticon symbol sat snuggly between my mecha mounds.

Since I arrived here I have been a Decepticon. They don't care about us Miners and even unleashed a zombie on my fellows. But the Autobots were not an option either. Though I felt some kind of ease while looking at Optimus, they brutally slaughtered XL122 and all my co-workers. What if they kill me on sight due to being a Decepticon? I've never met the Autobots in person before and only have the shows to go on. That leaves solo, But how will I do that?

I need Energon and that stuff is hard to come by. Let's check to see my Energon reserves to make sure I'm okay. In my mental system, I saw that my reserves were at 80% Which is strange, I would have thought that an entire month being under rubble would have used up more than that. I think I can last about a month as long as I don't push myself but if I run out? Supposedly I will die.

I wouldn't know for sure since I got daily refuels. I glanced back at the mine and used my scanners to see how much Energon was left. Besides the small fragments, I found near where I was standing the entire Mine was empty.

Hold on, I see a strange signal. What is that? It's faint but if my new scanners are right then it's some potent stuff. I guess I'll dig until I see what it is. Got nothing else to do. So, I loaded up some television to watch and started digging.

With my drills, I only took 10 minutes to reach the source. The last bit of rock broke and a small cavity was revealed. Let's take a looksie shall we? I opened up the tunnel and I reached my right arm shoulder-deep into the cavity. Now, if I can just find the.

"OUCH!" I yelped as I felt something bite onto my finger! I pulled my hand back and a HEAD came with it! It bit my finger harder and so I swung with my drill and knocked it off, taking part of my Index finger with it!

"RAWR!"

The red, one-horned head snarled at me as it fell off and rolled to a stop. This didn't stop it from hissing and snarling at me.

"What in the Allspark!?" I swore as the head feebly kept trying to reach me though it lacked any and all methods to actually do so. The head glows purple meaning that the head was the source of the strange Energon signature. To make things worse the energy signature grew somehow when it ate my finger! I looked at my missing digit before I angrily kicked the slagging thing!

"I JUST GOT THAT FINGER!"

The head bounced off the walls a few times before it landed, much more dented than before but still hissing and snarling. The longer I looked at its disgusting mug the angrier I was getting! It was an abomination! An Affront to Primus!

In my anger, I finally recognized what it was. It was the head of Cliffjumper! He had been turned into a zombie by Megatron and it killed two of my coworkers! That meant it was Dark Energon! Knowing that made me 100% certain that it must be destroyed!

I picked up the thing by the horn with my left hand and turned my right arm into my drill. I then activated its first feature! As it spun the tip began to glow purple before a short beam of purple energy slammed into Cliffjumpers head, It roared as I kept it up, and quickly a small burning hole was sitting pretty in its center.

One of my drill features is acting as blasters. It has three modes. The first and the one I am using is a powerful short-ranged drilling laser that cuts deep into whatever I'm aiming at. It serves the same purpose as my blaster cutter but its range and the affected area are quite small so it's only good if I'm up close. The other two I'll reveal when I use it. Gotta keep you viewers invested right?

Either way, the thing was dead and from the hole leaked nasty purple stuff!

"EW!"

I dropped the head but a drop of that stuff landed on my left foot when it hit the floor. I could feel a slight burning but soon before my very eyes the Dark Energon, as it had to be that. Melted away. That was...Anticlimactic. And why did I feel stronger now? Like an energy drink. Maybe, I can have more?

I placed my right hand on the puddle that formed around Cliffjumper's head and soon, the Dark Energon began to flow towards my hand. And though my hand burned the Dark Energon was evaporating as quickly as it came. I felt myself becoming stronger, something was filling within me and I liked it. But it reached a point where there was no more Dark Energon and I didn't like that!

"It's gone!? I need more!"

I grabbed the head of CliffJumper and I saw that a small amount remained inside.

"You don't mind if I take it right?"

I asked his unresponsive head and I said in a husky voice.

"Of course! Anything for a queen like you!"

I waved my right hand to my chest as if flattered

"Oh, you charmer you!"

I then crushed his head like a grape and I felt my hand burn. I winced at the pain as I felt a small object burning in my grip. Then, instead of feeling strength come into me, I felt it leave me? All the power I had gained from touching the Dark Energon left and I lost an additional 15% of my Reserves! That left me at 65%!

The filled feeling that was within me eased and the object shrank while I saw blue light coming from the gaps in my fingers. I opened my hand to reveal a small blue crystal. It was like a grape in my hand and it was a perfect sphere. I honestly have no idea what it could be but when I even humored the thought of tossing it, I felt like that it would be a terrible mistake. So, I guess I'll keep it.

I put it away in a compartment located at my right hip. I had quite a few all over. I even had one in between my mountains. With the bead secured I then left the tunnel, There was no point in staying and I had to get moving. With only 65% reserves I need to find some Energon.

Unlike in other settings In Prime I couldn't convert other energy sources into Energon nor can I drink fuel like in the Animated series. Wouldn't that be great? Just hit up a gas station and drink my fill! Then again, I hadn't finished checking my system, I stopped with the T Cog and had gotten caught up in finding this dark Energon so maybe if I'm lucky?

My mental self stopped watching TV to once again begin searching which was a drag. What's the point of having two minds if you couldn't goof off with one of them?! I already miss my job as a miner. I focused my search on my intake systems and BINGO! I got something that I know shouldn't exist in this setting!

Located where the human would have a stomach is a fuel converter! With this, I can eat energy-rich fuel sources and convert them to Energon for me to use! The mouth and esophagus are altered to allow this. Hurray! I must have gained it when I was brought back to life. I should finish going through my systems so I don't get any more surprises. But I can do that and walk. I quickly checked the GPS and found my coordinates. The nearest town was Jasper Nevada.

Okay, it will probably take me till noon tomorrow to get to it by foot since I don't have a vehicle mode yet. As I travel I'll keep an eye out for anything. I"m not picky. If I don't like the vehicle I can just switch it at a later date. Reconfiguring a new vehicle mode is energy-intensive and puts some strain on the T Cog. If you change too many modes too often it can cause damage.

But that's fine for me as I won't switch often!

Now, I shall go! I then started walking in a straight line to Jasper as I continued my mental check of my systems. Okay, I got around 70% of my systems before and I can't get distracted anymore. I need to know everything. And for the record, when I say I'm going through the entire system? I am literally going piece by piece and reading and testing said parts to understand fully what I can do. Just another perk of having my dear Orion's powers.

To my disappointment, there wasn't really anything more groundbreaking than the fuel converter. I could also project holograms from my Decepticon symbol but that wasn't much to brag about since I could just use my second mind's tabs to watch things. It did however let me get a good look at myself by making it a mirror.

My head looked as if I had a purple Construction hat on with a welding mask sitting on top to reveal my face beneath the visor.

It was grey, rounded, had wide pouty lips, a cute little nose, and big expressive light blue eyes.

My slightly chubby cheeks had blue freckles lightly speckled on them with 3 on each cheek, my lips were stained a deep purple as if I had put on some lipstick, and thin eyebrows lined my blue eyes that glittered like that strange blue gem I put in my pocket.

My body was like a wide purple hourglass, with a big chest, broad shoulders, my bulky biceps, and my needle-like silver claws. Going down we had my slightly smaller purple waist which blossomed into my shapely lower body, my silver tungsten crushing thighs, and ended in my purple Mule heeled feet. Like other Vehicons my main colors were purple plates for my main parts and dull grey metal for the rest.

I admired myself in the mirror for a while when I discovered it would let me check myself out and I was so happy to finally feel like a woman again!

After that, however, I actually found a defect of all things. I can't access my Spark Chamber. My chassis has the means to open but it's far more complicated than normal and I can't access that system period. Which is how I now know that not all changes were good and I should be grateful that a jammed chassis is all I got.

On the plus side, the Spark Chamber is full of so many redundancies that my spark is basically untouchable! Even from me! Not so great if I die from, well, anything else. It's why my boobs are so big! Whew! Now that I'm done with my inventory

I am still several hours away and I'm in the mood for some Binding of Issac.

4 hours of Walking and naked crying child action later.

HAH! Take that Super Satan! Did you guys see that? I beat him with the Lost! That's going in the replay folder! Oh? And what is that I see on the road? A Vehicle! FINALLY! I hid behind a rock outcropping as I used my mask to zoom in on my future vehicle mode.

A Garbage Truck? A GARBAGE TRUCK!? What the slag is a Garbage Truck doing all the way out here!? I was ready to accept a Car, a Pickup, Pit, I would be okay with a bus! But a Slagging Garbage Truck!? AUGH! I have no choice! It's heading my way and I need a vehicle mode or else I risk being seen by humans! Who knows how close to town I'll have to go to get another chance!

So, with great reluctance. I readied to scan it. The large rock outcropping I was hiding behind allowed me to wait on the side of the road and the moment the truck passed my location, I struck! SCAN RAY GO! From my mask twin green beams stuck the garbage truck and with it came both the Truck stopping and me finally acquiring a vehicle mode! It slotted in nicely in my T Cog and after a slight adjustment, I transformed!

How can I describe transforming? It's not like I'm being bent like a pretzel, or being torn apart and put back together, it's more fluid than that. It's like, crouching. You all can do that right? Just crouch down?. That is how easy it is to transform. You 'crouch' with your T Cog instead of your knees while thinking about transforming. Then, boom! You've changed into a vehicle. And that was what happened to me.

I went from a large purple robot to a purple, side-loading garbage truck with the Decepticon logo proudly displayed on my grill. If you guys ever wondered how Transformers see well, I can now answer it for you!

We see through the front windows like eyes and the mirrors act as extra eyes on top of it. This also comes with an awareness of what is inside us. My interior was small with only two seats but between them was a large control panel that controls the robot arm. I quickly drove towards town, leaving the original in the dust. I wonder if they saw my Nevada License plate that read.

'H01S1A6'

Get it? Hot Slag? Cuz I'm a garbage truck! HAH! I'm hilarious. Now that I have a Vehicle mode I'll be in town in about 2 hours. Amazing the difference between walking and driving! Now, how about I try out this mech arm?

From my right side, a yellow robot pincer deployed and I moved it around as I got used to my new limb. This is actually kinda cool. In-Vehicle mode I would have no arms, but this Vehicle mode comes with one. I can move it freely and though it is on my right side It had great freedom of movement coming with 360-degree joints and extenders that let me extend both its grip and reach!

Wait, can I? Soon, I was scratching my cabin like I was scratching my head. Head, shoulders, knees, and toes! This is cool! Even though I hate having such an unfeminine vehicle mode so far I like the perks I also took advantage of my ability to create a fake driver to make my old human self dressed as a garbage woman as my mental self pulled up a GPS tracker and soon, I was driving down the roads on my way to Jasper. My physical radio started playing Country Roads via the internet as I had my driver sing along with my voice.

"Country roads, take me home

To the place, I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama

Take me home, country roads!"

At Sunrise.

The sun was just peaking over the horizon by the time I reached Jasper. After an hour and a half driving, I finally saw my first human settlement since becoming a terrifying Decepticon! Itsโ€ฆ.quaint. Not too many people were out and about just yet which meant I could make a pit stop at a gas station to fill up. As I pulled up to the pump I made sure that I was the only one there before I helped myself to some gas via my arm. It took some finagling to grab the nozzle and insert it in my Fuel Tank. As for payment? I just used my womanly wiles on that gas nozzle and he gave me a gift of diesel.

Hm? That doesn't explain what I did? Fine, I can convert my claw into a third drill and like my other drills, it has plenty of features. One of which being that all the bristles on it can extend from it that can act like Omni tools similar to Soundwaves tentacles and let me connect to any system. I used my superior hacking skills to take control of the pump's rudimentary system to give me all the gas I could want.

Of course I paid for it using an account I set up remotely, As to how I got money? I did freelance programming jobs. Did you really think I could buy games, movies, music, and the like without funds? That would be stupid! Also illegal. And though I am a villainous woman of infamy! I prefer to earn my keep. Blame the Miner in me. There is a certain satisfaction from buying stuff with money you yourself earned. The only illegal thing I did was set up a fake identity to get that banking account. And it's not my only one. I have 27 from other places around the globe.

A great thing about being an alien super robot from the future is that I am more advanced than all other computers on the planet. And unlike them, I have a permanent, high data flowing internet connection that I don't pay a dime for. Not sure where it comes from honestly but it's been there since I woke up as XL 888

Ahh, so this is what it feels like to fill my tank. I can feel the fuel being converted into Energon as fast as I can drink it! Doesn't have a flavor though, must be cuz it's going in the fuel tank. I eagerly watched as my reserves slowly but surely refilled. Once my Energon reached 100 I stopped the pump, paid what I owed, put it away, and drove away with the confidence of one who isn't going to starve anytime soon!

But as I drove into Jasper proper I can't help but think. Overclock? What are you going to do with your life? The answer? WHATEVER I WANT! No bosses! No superiors! Just me, my brains! and a whole wide world to explore!... Tomorrow.

For now I'm going to hang out in Jasper and figure out if this place is where I want to call home. I drove around the town taking in the sights. The town was truly quaint. Definitely a town and not a city. There were stores, arcades, a school, a drive-in theatre, some restaurants, residential areas, some mechanic shops, a Junkyard, and even a derby ring! But Not much use to a giant robot with a free internet connection. But it did have one thing I can use.

I drove myself to city hall, a big white building with white pillars holding it up, then I parked next to it. Once I was sure I was alone I aimed my claw at it, transformed into its drill form and its many needles extending into the walls, to directly hack into the city's record to do some updating.

I was a Garbage Truck, to be more exact I am a residential one. This was a residential town. So what better disguise than to assign me to the city's garbage detail and hide among the other trucks? Of course, I don't plan on actually collecting garbage. Because, Ew, gross. But no one questions a garbage truck and if I park in the Junkyard that is located near the Waste Disposal Station. Or the WDS for short, where the others are parked, then I'll be even more secure.

My interior looked exactly like a normal Garbage truck so It shouldn't be an issue for me if someone looks inside. I also didn't have to worry about them messing with my paint job either since in the paperwork I was listed as an 'experimental' truck that was being beta tested in Jasper! This meant that I could hide in plain sight AND avoid always reeking of garbage! They won't touch me either as Mrs. Frizzle is my designated driver. AKA, my projection. She is the one who helped design the XL888 Garbage Truck and will be the one testing its functions.

Heh, I loved inside jokes. Since I am now assigned I can now do whatever I want. And I think the first thing I'm going to do is drive through all of Jasper while contacting Radical Quiver. I've been gone a long time and I'm worried about him. Huh, he's not online. Bummer. I'll just leave a message.

OverClock: Hey Radical! What've you been up to? I've been busy with my new job so I haven't been able to come online. My company got caught red-handed and my whole department was made into a scapegoat to avoid lawsuits and fired. Now I'm a Garbage woman." ๐Ÿ˜•

I left it at that and I arrived at the junkyard. It was a large facility covered by a chain-link fence. It had a big gate to help keep people out and a check-in station. I created Ms. Frizzle and pulled up to the guard. The Black man manning the booth saw me pull up and he whistled.

"Wow, So that's the XL888! It looks amazing!"

Aw, thank you! But now I gotta respond! I hate this! I rolled down my window to show my driver who looked exactly like Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus but wearing a green jumpsuit and yellow protective glasses and she nodded her head while saying.

"Yes, I'm Ms. Frizzle. I am here to park."

The man nodded.

"Okay. Give me a second." He typed something on his computer before nodding.

"Okay, Everything is set up. Make sure you document every time you go in and out using the website, okay?"

"Understood."

I then quickly rolled up the window and drove in. Hidden within the paperwork was that I would submit all paperwork via the internet. Another way to avoid having to talk to people. I drove myself deep into the junkyard until I reached where the other garbage trucks were. Ew, the place smells! There! I turned off my olfactory sensors and now everything is fine!

I parked myself next to three other garbage trucks and I sent an email that I had parked the truck and am heading out. I used my wifi connection and the backdoor I installed into the city's systems to doctor Mrs. Frizzle leaving and clocking out. I received a confirmation and I relaxed. And like that, I can now goof off! I think some Dark Souls one is in order! It came out already and I'm in the mood to ruin some noobs.

It was around 5 PM when Radical finally messaged me back.

Radical Quiver: Overclock! I was getting worried when you stopped coming online! Are you okay?

Aw, his concern is sweet. Though why didn't he message me for a month?

OverClock: Well considering that I went from a miner to a Garbage lady not so well, But at least I'm no longer working for psychopaths. Thanks for the concern though! I was expecting a deluge of missed messages from you but there's nothing on the chat logs. Did something happen? ๐Ÿ˜•

Radical Quiver: Sorry about that. I got caught up in stuff IRL. Remember that deal we made? About making IRL friends?

OverClock: No way, You actually made one!? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Radical Quiver: Not just one but several!

He made several friends in just a month!? What wizardry did he pull off to do that! No wonder he didn't message me! My gossipy heart demands that I know!

OverClock: How!? Come on! Spill the details! What are they like!? How did you meet!? You can't just leave me hanging like this! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Strangely, he did leave me hanging, for several minutes there was nothing, making my anticipation go through the roof! Come on Radical! Don't just shut down like that! Whelp, I'll just watch some youtube videos until he responds. Heh, cute bird videos!

I had a pet once when I was younger, he was a parrot named Squawk. I was always shy about talking to people but with Squawk I could vent about things and he would always listen to me. He died when I was around 16 and soon after I got into computers. Aw, now I made myself sad. After about 20 minutes of youtube, Radical finally responded!

Radical Quiver: Two of them go to my school! Their names are Jack and Miko. Jack is a motorcycle fan and though he can be harsh at times he's really responsible and a good friend. Miko is an exchange student from Japan and she is wild! She's a musician and she's always looking for exciting things to do!

OverClock: Oh? A gearhead and a musician? Neat! How did you meet?

Radical Quiver: Well, I met Jack while running away from those giant robots and Miko overheard us talking about it and has been with us ever since.

Scrap, so he made friends with the other kid that saw the fight? And the girl overheard them!? That's three and word on the Decepticon chatter was that there were Three humans working with the Autobots! Calm down Overclock, it doesn't mean that he's one of them. Yeah, it's just a coincidence. Still would be a good idea to remind him of the dangers involved.

OverClock: Glad you made friends but please make sure your friends stay quiet about the robots! From the notes I salvaged from the computer they are obsessed with secrecy and any possible leak could bring either faction on your heads! And trust me, you don't want them after you.

Radical Quiver: Of course! We haven't told anyone about what we saw and that's including Miko!

OverClock: That's a relief! ๐Ÿ˜Œ Now what about your other friends?

He went quiet again and I sighed in relief. If his friends kept their mouths shut then they could avoid being dragged into the war. But I'm really wondering why he is taking so long to respond back. After 5 minutes he messaged again.

Radical Quiver: Overclock, What are those factions you were talking about? I know you said you knew about the robots and the code from the computer you found but for someone who says we should avoid them you sure know a lot.

Scrap, Radical was always very curious and that could very well lead him into trouble, might as well give him a brief summary and stress just how important it was to avoid them.

OverClock: Radical, I really don't want to tell you this but I know you. If you are curious you'll go looking for answers so I'll tell you what I know. But to make sure we aren't found I'm going to wipe our entire chat history after this and I will NEVER talk about this again.

I should've done this a month ago but with the lawsuits and the whole mess at work, I was unable to. The Giant robots are aliens called Cybertronians. They are from this planet called Cybertron and are divided into two groups. The Autobots and the Decepticons. Autobots have a red insignia and Decepticons have a purple one. These two groups are at war with each other and that war resulted in the destruction of their homeworld.

They came to earth due to earth being a secret deposit of Energon, a weird blue crystal that is crucial for these things to survive. From what the notes on the computer told me this was done tens of thousands of years ago. With them running out of Energon they came to Earth to take it back. The bad news is both sides know about the deposits and now they are fighting a shadow war on Earth. Dr. Sumdac. The guy whose computer I found, met one, a Decepticon Vehicon deserter who was done with the whole war.

They struck up a friendship and taught Dr. Sumdac how to use Cybertronian code but sadly, the Decepticon ran out of Energon and though Dr. Sumdac did everything he could, they still died. He buried the body somewhere though I don't know where and he continued his research into the Cybertronian code. He never finished it as he was killed in a drive-by from a purple car. And considering how Vehicons are purple? I made some conclusions.

I found his daughter Sari selling this powerful computer for cheap while moving to my old job. Since it was a pretty good computer I bought it but his daughter told me that the whole thing was encrypted. I took this as a challenge and after a year of work, I managed to crack it and learned the truth. I'll admit, I was horrified at what I had learned.

I studied the code and after I got good enough I began posting it online and that's how we met. I know this sounds super interesting but THEY ARE DANGEROUS! They butcher each other and we humans have no way to fight them! The only way we can survive is to avoid their notice as both sides don't really take note of humans. It's scary and I'm sorry that you got dragged into this. I should've never even brought up the Cybertronian code with you but you were the only person who could understand it and I had been carrying this information for 3 years! But at least I am able to warn you and your friends about this. Please, just stay low, never speak about it, and move on with your lives.

There! I gave a believable answer and once we finish talking all our chat history will be encrypted then destroyed! Nice and clean! I am a master of lying! What sorry excuse of a Decepticon would I be if I sucked at it? It's risky revealing so much but Radical needs to understand WHY I am so against this.

Now it's up to him to respond so I can bury this and get to hear about his other friends! Another delay was there but it was understandable with what I just dropped onto him. I would say not to study the Cybertronian code but neither of us could keep that promise. After another 15 minutes of waiting he sent a message.

Radical Quiver: That's incredible! And you've been keeping it secret for 3 years?

OverClock: Yep! Haven't told a soul and even destroyed the old computer! All that is left is a few special Hard Drives hidden away and this PC! If anyone tried to gain access it would encrypt into pure Cybertronian making sure that no humans could ever crack it. Now, enough about this! I'm going to clear the chat now and from now on? No talking about anything Cybertronian other than coding! Including calling it Cybertronian! It's a new coding language I developed called CyCode. ๐Ÿ˜ You're going to have to refresh your messenger app after this.

With a mental Keystroke, the chat glitched as all chat until the day before we first mentioned robots was encrypted and destroyed! Heh! Go me! I'm a coding genius! Once I refreshed the screen I sent a new message.

OverClock: Strange, the chat glitched out. It seems to have wiped a lot of data! Oh well. You were telling me about your other friends! Now spill the beans or do I gotta get mean? ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

There was another delay which I really hoped he would stop having soon before he responded back with the goodies!

Radical Quiver: Well, they are some college students that are really cool! We hitched a ride from them once and ended up getting along great! They have a dorm and we get to hang out there after school! Our parents don't know about them though as they let us goof off and they tell stories about places they've been to!

My favorite is BB! He's a track star and though he's mute he's really good with sign language and loves the same things I do!

Borris is a large Ex-Marine who went back to college to get a degree. He loves metal and monster trucks! Miko likes hanging out with him a lot and he regales her about the things he did while in service.

Cecilia is the only girl and she is very stern and sarcastic. She loves motorcycles so she and Jack get along.

The oldest is Ralph and he's like 60! He's always complaining about us but we know he likes us. He's super smart and is getting another degree in Mechanics!

The last guy is Orion and he's the second oldest and is the leader. He's a Librarian and always talks about peace and always sees the best in people. Don't tell my mom though.

Wow, That's not what I expected! College students? Talk about an age gap! Though having adults around probably means that they are pretty safe. But Radical not telling his mom?! Ooh, someone getting some early teenage rebellion? I love it!

OverClock: Wow! You have other adult friends? And you're hiding them from your mom? Seems like you're going through some teenage rebellion! Don't worry, I can't tell your mom because we don't know each other's real identities! ONLINE FRIENDS ARE THE BEST FRIENDS! ๐Ÿ˜†

Radical Quiver: Right! Umm, I have to go, chat with you later?

Overclock: Sure! We should get together again and we can keep working on my new code!

Radical Quiver: That would be great! Bye!

Overclock Bye!

Wooh, not only did I get my social interaction for the day but I also made sure Radical was okay! Now, time for some more Dark Souls!

I ended up playing games the rest of the night before powering down for a much-needed rest. I've had quite an eventful day and hopefully, a day like this won't happen ever again!

Third Person View: Autobot Base, right after the chat message.

Inside a retired nuclear silo off the edge of Jasper Nevada, a young hispanic boy with spiky brown hair and glasses closed the chat program on his yellow laptop and looked up at the giant robots that were his friends and protectors, the Autobots.

"She disconnected."

The Autobots were looking at the large green screens that also displayed his screen.

"Tell me again why we didn't just trace her location?"

The red and white medical bot Ratchet grumbled this and Ralph shook his head.

"Like I told you, she's super paranoid and she makes me look like a novice when it comes to coding. She's said before that she bounces her IP address off several servers all over the world, calling it a Virtual Privacy network. We can't use my Worm against her as she's the one who taught me Cybertronian and helped BUILD the worm!

"She's definitely built countermeasures for it and that would reveal that something is wrong and she would probably purge her entire digital presence then make a new one. Just look at what she did to the chat messenger! She brought it completely down for exactly 5 seconds and removed data that should have been heavily protected with ease! Besides, she isn't a bad person! She's just very shy and introverted."

Jack, a white black-haired teenager standing next to Ralph scoffed at this.

"Her? Introverted? Are you sure about that?"

Arcee, a blue motorcycle fembot added to this.

"Doesn't look like it."

"She is! She only talks like that because she doesn't know me in real life. She's so introverted that she has no real-life friends. Any time I offered to reveal my identity she panicked! She didn't want to ruin the only friendship she had. Hopefully, she will try and make some real friends now that I have."

"But her story is crazy! She found a computer owned by a dead human who befriended a Vehicon Desserter!? I've never heard of a Vehicon doing that!"

The large green Bulkhead shared his skepticism and his human partner sitting on his right shoulder, an Asian teenager with pink highlights in her black hair nodded.

"Yeah! Why would a Con ever leave? They are all evil!"

At this, the leader of the group said his part.

"That is not true Bulkhead, Miko. Though it rarely happens there have been cases of named Cons changing sides though Vehicons rarely do. It is a shame that they died before we could have found them. For them to be able to befriend a human proves that they had a good heart and would have made a great friend and ally."

This made Miko and Bulkhead look away chastized and Optimus continued while staring at Ralph.

"The fact that she has remained hidden from detection for three years proves that she is well equipped to stay hidden and unless we are 100% certain that we can find her, I suggest we leave her be."

Ralph had a worried look on his face at this. When he got the message from her he was in the Autobot base and when she asked about his friends he had to talk to the Autobots about what to do. He had dodged the question on how he knew Cybertronian when he first met the Autobots but now that he knew them he trusted them enough to reveal his first friend and this caused Ratchet to freak out that a random human knew Cybetronian code and grilled him for more details.

He awkwardly showed the logs and that she strongly advised him to avoid interacting with any robots but didn't listen. To make things worse she had been offline for over a month and he felt that messaging her when she wasn't on about this wouldn't be good. He didn't want to disappoint her. So after careful deliberation with the Autobots and his human friends they decided to avoid mentioning that he was working with the robots and instead ask how she knew so much.

This led to the reveal that Overclock knew a lot! Cybertron, the Autobots, the Decepticons, the war, and why the earth was targeted. This message made Ratchet begin to try and track her down but Raf had to stop him with his own code, angering Ratchet but he couldn't let Ratchet do that!

He explained that she would definitely notice and they wouldn't find her. Optimus told Ratchet to stand down and the messaging continued with her removing data from one of the biggest internet corporations without leaving any traces of what she did. The messages ended with her unaware that he was working with the Autobots and under the impression that he had college friends.

Raf was worried that he would have to abandon his first friend.

"Does that mean I can't talk to her anymore?"

Raf sadly asked and Optimus absolved his fears.

"Do not worry Raf, You can still talk to her as long as you respect her wishes and never mention the truth to her. Maybe one day we will meet and she can be another human ally."

With Optimus's blessing, Raf smiled and the Autobots and their human partners continued their day.

OverClocks. Point of View.

Where am I? The last thing I remember is powering down. I look down and I see that I'm in my mental mode. The avatar that represents me in this state is glowing blue instead of its usual purple. My hand is moving. I'm not doing that! A screen is pulled up. I'm not doing that either! A global map of Alaska was shown. What is going on?! It zooms in again and again until I am looking at a lone mountain peak covered in ice with a small yellow bump sticking out of the ground. Then I felt my mouth open but instead of my voice, a calm, slightly monotone man's voice came out.

"Claim the Legacy of Creation, the Forge awaits."

"WHO SAID THAT!? What Legacy?!"

I cried out in fear but I got no answer other than a set of coordinates appearing in my systems.

I woke up soon afterward and I almost transformed out of vehicle mode out of panic! What was that!? Was it truly just a dream? No, I can see the coordinates! I did several full diagnostics of both my systems that took 2 hours as the results were nonsense!. Nothing, no hacks, no viruses, no outside interference. Every time it concluded that the coordinates seemed to be saved to my files by me!

Nope! Nope nope nope nope! I am not going! I deleted the coordinates and pulled up a game. I'm going to relax, play video games and enjoy my NEET life!

Author's Note:

Hello Everyone! This is Rebel Shard Caster with Chapter 2 of Vehicon. Oh, poor Overclock. Don't you know that ignoring a problem isn't going to solve it?

Anyway, Just for the sake of granting a better mental image of Overclock, She is the same size as Bulkhead with a far more feminine version of his body type.

She's a big girl and I'm tired of almost every Fembot being these dainty things. Yes, I know that there are SOME but from the shows I've watched, Cybertron, Prime, Beast Wars, Animated. They are either Ugly or super masculine. I even looked up on Youtube the lists of fem transformers and it just proved my point!

It's time for a girl with more meat on her bones to take center stage!

As for her voice? I'll leave that up to your imagination!

Like always reviews both positive and Negative are welcome as they give me more motivation to write.

I hope to entertain you again in the future!
