I glared out the doors of the chopper.
"So," Sam said.
"What'd they get you for?" the blond woman, who I learned was Maggie asked.
"I bought a car, turned out to be an alien robot," Sam said. I saw the man mouth 'wow.'
"Who knew," I griped. Sam looked at me. I blinked back.
We arrived a Hoover Dam. I whistled, pretty sweet view. Sam Mikaela and I looked over the edge of the dam. I paled; it was a long way down. We followed the agents to a group of soldiers.
"Hey kid, I think we got off to a bad start," Simmons said, walking up to us. He had clothes on now. I glared darkly, snorting. He put a hand on Sam's shoulder.
"You must be hungry. You want a latte? HoHo? Double venti Macchiato?" he asked.
"Where's my car?" Sam demanded.
"Son," another agent began quietly. "I need you to listen to me very carefully. People can die here. We need to know everything you know and we need to know it now."
"Okay. But first I'll take my car, my parents. Maybe you should write that down. Oh and Mikaela's juvie record, that has to be gone, like forever," Sam said. I grinned, good boy. The agents stared at us. I grinned a little.
"Come with me, we'll talk about your car," the other one said. I followed, glancing at Simmons.
"Man's an extortionist," Simmons muttered.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Banachek," he replied. I nodded.
"Alright, here's the situation. You've all had direct contact with the NBEs," Simmons said loudly.
"NBEs?" a soldier muttered.
"Non-Biological-Extraterrestrials, try to keep up with the acronyms," Simmons said. "What you're about to see is totally classified." I blinked as he led us to a large hanger. I gasped.
It was Megatron. I recognized him from Optimus' hologram story. I covered my mouth, this one scared the hell out of me and he wasn't even online.
"Dear God what is that?" Defense Secretary Keller whispered, horrified.
"Megatron," I whispered, flinching a little. He still had a heat signarture, and it was slowly getting stronger. Damn.
"We think, when he made his approach over the North Pole, our gravitational field screwed up his telemetry. He crashed in the ice, probably a few thousand years ago. We shipped him here to this facility in 1934," Banachek explained.
"We call him NBE-one," Simmons said. I rolled my eyes.
"Sir I don't mean to correct you on everything you think you know; but that's Megatron," Sam said.
"He's the leader of the Decepticons," I added.
"He's been in cryostasis since 1935," Banachek said, glancing at Sam, "Your great-great-grandfather? Made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind." Sam swelled with pride. I smiled sadly at him.
"Fact is you're looking at the source of the modern age. Microchip, lasers, spaceflight, cars, all reverse-engineered by studying him. NBE-one, that's what we call him," Simmons said, getting right in my face. I glowered at him. Sam nodded.
"And you didn't think the United States military might need to know you're keeping a hostile alien robot frozen in the basement?' Keller snapped. I snorted, I liked him.
"Until these events we had no credible threat to national security," Banachek said.
"Well you got one now," Keller snapped.
"So why Earth?" the captain asked.
"The All-spark," I replied.
"All-spark? What's that?" Keller asked.
"They came here looking for some sort of cube looking thing. Anyway, Mr. NBE one here, aka Megatron, that's what they call him is pretty much the harbinger of death, wants to use the cube to transform Earth's technology and take over the universe. That's their plan," I said, glaring at Megatron. He seriously gave me the creeps.
"And you're sure about that?" Simmons asked. I nodded.
"You guys know where it is. Don't you," I stated, giving the two agents a hard glare.
"Follow me," Banachek said.
"You're about to see our crown jewel," Simmons said.
"Carbon dating puts the cube here around 10,000 B.C. the first Seven didn't find it until 1913. They knew it was alien because of the matching hieroglyphics on the Cube as well as NBE one. President Hoover had the dam built around it. Four football fields thick of concrete, a perfect way to hide its energy from being detected by anyone or any alien species on the outside."
"Wait back up you said the dam hide the Cube's energy. What kind exactly?" Maggie asked. I frowned, wondering that too.
"Good question. Follow me," Banachek said.
"Please step inside. They have to lock us in," Banachek requested. I scooted farther into the room.
"Oh wow," Glen muttered.
"What's that? Freddy Kruger don been up in here or something?' one of the soldiers asked.
"Oh no man. Freddy Kruger had four blades man. That's only three. That's Wolverine! Right, that's Wolverine!?" Glen countered. I rolled my eyes.
"That' very funny," Simmons said flatly. "Anybody have any mechanical devices? Blackberry? Key alarm? Cell Phone?"
"I go a phone," Glen tossed his phone to Simmons.
"Ooh, Nokia's are real nasty. You've got to respect the Japanese. They know the way of the samurai." I snorted.
"Nokia's from Finland," I heard Maggie whispered.
"Yeah but he's you know, a little strange," Keller muttered, making a shhing motion, "He's a little strange."
"We're able to take the Cube radiation, and funnel it into that box," Simmons said. I put my goggles on. There was a flash and the cell phone transformed into a little bitty bot. I took my goggles off as it hit the glass near me.
"Shh, little one," I whispered, pressing my hand on the box. The bot looked at me. I knew it was frightened, it was only a child. I made a soft crooning noise, the noise I made when the younger kids at the House had a nightmare and came for comfort. Simmons glared at me.
"That thing is freaky!" Maggie yelped, scaring the baby again.
"Think of how he feels!?" I snapped the baby started to break the box. Simmons zapped it, killing it.
"No!" I cried.
"It's a monster!" Simmons said.
"It was a baby!" I protested. Then before he could argue more, a sound of groaning metal and the sense of explosions hit me.
"Banachek, what's going on?' he said over an intercom.
"Well the NBE on hanger has lost power."
"What?!"
"And the backup generator is just not gonna cut it!"
"Do you have an arms room?" Captain Lennox asked. Banachek nodded. We ran out of the room.
"I'll bring security to the weapons room!" Simmons yelled.
"Get everyone to the NBE on chamber now!"
"They're popping our generators!"
We made it into a room loaded with weapons. I stopped, catching my breath; I was getting out of shape. I looked for Simmons or Banachek.
"Forty millimeter sabot rounds on that table!" Everyone was scrambling around the room. The lights flickered. I froze. It was silent. A bullet clinked. I moved past Sam.
"You gotta take us to his car. You gotta take us to Bumblebee, he'll know what to do with the cube," I snarled.
"His car? It's confiscated," Simmons replied.
"Well un-confiscate it!" I yelled.
"We do not know what will happen if we let it near this thing!" Simmons yelled.
"No you don't know, I do!" I snarled.
"I have people's lives at stake here young lady!" he snarled in my face. I pulled my fist back to punch the idiot. Lennox kindly shoved him into a car for me. How nice.
"Take her to the car!" with that, the room turned into an Okay corral situation, guns pointed everywhere. I snarled in frustrations.
"Drop it," Lennox growled, pointing his Glock at the man next to him.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Banachek yelled.
"Drop you weapon soldier. There's an alien war going on and you're going to shoot me?
"We didn't ask to be here."
"I'm ordering you under S-Seven executive jurisdiction."
"S-Seven don't exists."
"Right and we don't take orders from people who don't exist."
"I'm going to count to five, okay?" Simmons threatened. I rolled my eyes, sparks crackling around me.
"I'm going to count to three," Lennox pointed his gun at Simmons's heart. I grinned, nice.
"Simmons," Keller said.
"Yes sir?"
"I'd do what he says. Loosing's not really an option for these guys," Keller said.
"Okay. Hey you want to lay the fate of the world on the kid's Camaro? That's cool," Simmons said.
"His name is Bumblebee!" I protested.
"Why didn't he tell us then?"
"His voice processors are damaged! He talks with the radio!" I snapped.
I burst into the room and nearly cried. Bee was crying out.
"Stop! Stop, stop, stop!" I yelled, a burst of heat rolling off me. I threw a freezing wand away from my friend.
"Let him go! Let him go!" Banachek ordered. I watched as Bee sat up.
"You okay?' I asked. Bee sat up.
"They didn't hurt you?" Sam asked. Bee's battle mask slid over his face, cannon on lining and aimed at the men.
"Easy Bee. Look, the cube is here. And the Decepticons are coming," I said. Bee didn't relax.
"No, no, don't worry about them. They're okay, right? They're not going to hurt you," I assured "Back up a little," Sam said, "He's friendly, he's fine."
"Okay, come on. I'll take you to the All-spark. Put the cannons away," I said. Bee did. I ran up to Bee. He put his hand down and I climbed up. Bee settled me on his shoulder. I saw the soldiers and agents staring at me. I giggled. Bee followed my instructions to the All-spark. He set me down then touched the cube.
The cube collapsed on itself, into a smaller version.
"Wow," I said.
"Message form Starfleet Captain…Let's get to it," Bee played.
"He's right, we stay here we're screwed with Megatron in the other hanger," Lennox agreed.
A short minute later, Bee was screeching out of there, Mikaela, Sam and I in him. "How's the cube?" Sam asked. I looked at the thing in my lap.
"It's fine."
"Put a seatbelt on it." I rolled my eyes. I saw a group of cars speeding towards us. The Autobots. I grinned.
"That's Optimus," Sam said. The Bots did a U-turn and got behind our little caravan.
We got to the city and I hopped out.
"Air force has arrived! Pop smoke!" Lennox yelled. A jet screamed overhead. It had a heat signature.
"Shit! Don't!" it was too late. Green smoke filled the air. I cursed colorfully. If Gran were here, she'd hit me with a dough roller.
"It's Starscream!" Ironhide yelled. I yelped, grabbing Sam and Mikaela. I flared my immunity to fire around us, creating a barrier. It only worked if I was touching the person. Otherwise the soldiers and bots would be covered to. Then the explosion. It knocked us back. My shoulder screamed in protest as I landed hard on it. I rolled to my feet.
"Anybody hurt? Everyone okay?!"
"Clear the area!"
Bee crawled out of the wreckage of a truck he used as cover. He didn't have his legs.
"Oh God no! Bee," I cried. "Bee your legs!"
Mikaela darted to a tow truck and hotwired it. She drove it over to us. Bee handed me the cube.
"I won't leave you," I told him.
"Sam, Kayri, help me with this," Mikaela said. I nodded. Be crawled on the truck and we began tying him down. I set the cube on the edge of the truck.
"Megatron, retreat!" Ironhide yelled. I turned and saw Megatron fighting Jazz.
"No! I want two!" He snarled. I screamed, throwing my hand out. A ball of flame and wave of hot air shot at him. Megatron dropped Jazz. He landed and looked at me. I winked, silently pleading him not to say anything. He nodded. I rubbed the burn on my hand, ignoring the slight sting. Lennox ran up.
"Sam, where's the cube?" he demanded. Sam pointed to it. Lennox ran off for a moment then was back.
"I can't leave my guys back there. So here, take this flare," Lennox pressed a flare into Sam's hand. His good one. He had a broken wrist and his foot was messed up too.
"Okay there's a tall white building with statues on top. Go to the roof, set the flare-"
"No," Sam said.
"Signal the chopper and set the flare."
"I can't! I can't do this!" Sam said.
"Listen to me you're a soldier now! Alright? I need you to take this Cube and get it into-"
"He can't! He's hurt too bad!" I snarled. "I'll do it." Lennox turned to me and repeated his instructions. I nodded, grabbing the flare and the Cube and darting off.
"Kayri, we will protect you," Ironhide and Ratchet said. I nodded, smiling. Blackout, a chopper landed. I dodged around him. Starscream landed infront of me. No time to turn. I hit the ground baseball style and slid under him. Ratchet and Ironhide fought with him. I ran into an alley and kept running. I heard something that made me smiled.
"Megatron!" Optimus yelled.
"Prime," Megatron snarled. They started to fight.
"Kayri, get to the building!" Ironhide yelled. I nodded.
I darted up the stairs, skipping every other step.
"I smell you girl!" Megatron snarled behind me. I glanced back. Shit, he was close. My powers flared up again, a heat wave rolling off me, hitting the Decepticon leader. He stumbled. I raced up the stairs even faster. I yelped as Megatron burst through the floor, coming after me. I screamed.
I was on the roof now, still running. I set the flare.
"Hey! Over here!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, seeing a chopper. It had no heat signature so it was good. I ran to the edge and held the Cube out. The guy and I locked eyes as Megatron burst through. The chopper was too far away. The guy looked at me sadly. I nodded; I knew that he knew I was out of luck. Then Starscream shot the chopper.
"No!" I yelled as it fell. I ducked behind a statue, gripping the cube tightly.
"Is it fear or courage that compels you fleshling?" Megatron sneered.
"Both!" I snarled back. His hand closed, the sound made me shiver.
"Give me the All-spark, and you may live to be my pet," he said. I growled.
"Burn in hell! I will never give you the All-spark!" I shouted.
"Oh, so unwise," he said. Then his hand, a mace, destroyed the corner I was on. I fell. Curling around the cube, I waited to hit the ground. Sorry sis, I thought. Something caught me, moving down with me for a sec then I was pulled up. I opened my eyes. It was Optimus. I nearly cried in relief.
"I got you girl," he rumbled, tucking me against his chest plates.
"Hold onto the cube!" we fell, a controlled fall until Megatron grabbed us. Optimus' hand covered me, protecting me as we hit the ground.
"Kayri, you risked your life to protect the cube," Optimus said. I looked at him.
"Nothing is gained without sacrifice," I whispered.
"If I cannot defeat Megatron, you must push the cube into my chest; I will sacrifice myself to destroy it," Optimus said. I gulped.
"Get behind me," he said. I did.
"It's you and me Megatron," Optimus challenged.
"No it's just me Prime!" Megatron yelled. They started fighting. I found a spot to hide. It was in a giant crack in the ground. Rubble flew around me from the fight. I ducked, wrapping my other arm around the Cube. I saw Optimus get the hell hit out of him. I flinched, that had to hurt. I grinned as missiles hit Megatron. Take that you bastard. I ran towards Optimus. A blast knocked me down. Megatron had me pinned.
"Mine! All spark!" he snarled.
"Kayri put the cube in my chest now!" Optimus yelled. No, I couldn't do that. I couldn't let Optimus die. I ran to Megatron.
"No Kayri!" Optimus yelled. I shoved the Cube in Megatron's chest. I gasped at the icy burning I got as the cube melted in the Decepticon's chest. He reeled back, making a gagging sound. Then he fell. His heat signature was gone, he was dead. Optimus walked up.
"You gave me no choice brother," Optimus whispered. I looked at him. He knelt down to my level.
"Kayri, I owe you my life. We are in you debt," he said. I shook my head. The other Autobots walked up. I smiled at Jazz.
"We have gained new comrades. Thank you. You honor us with your bravery," Optimus said. I smiled.
"Permission to speak sir?" I heard. It was Bee.
"Permission granted, old friend," Optimus said, smiling.
"I wish to stay with the boy," Bee asked
"If that is his choice."
"Yes," Sam didn't hesitate. I grinned at Bee. He grinned back.
A few days later, I was sitting in Bee, talking.
"Bee? Can you promise not to tell anyone about this?' I asked.
"Sure," he chirped.
"You know that fireball that saved Jazz?" I asked. He nodded.
"I did that. I can control fire," I said quietly.
"COOL! Tell me more," Bee said. I sighed.
"I can control and sometimes create fire. Have you noticed when I get mad that little sparks start going off?" I asked.
"I thought that was just a trick of the light."
"It's not. It's my powers manifesting with my temper. When we got taken by the agents, I melted the handcuffs. Although it did leave my wrists a little sore for a few days," I said. Bee laughed.
"You know why I always wear a halter top under my normal shirts? Because sometimes I'll burn my shirt to dust with how hot the flames are. Especially on my shoulders and back and arms. It's why I have all those scars," I explained.
"Oh." I nodded.
"It's a pain but that is why I am forever thankful for halter tops. And am glad I can't get burned!" Bee burst out laughing. I joined him.
Okay, we learned about Kayri's powers! so to recap, she has the power to control fire. she can also create it but only when she's angry enough to. she's also immune to fire, and can transfer that to another person if she's touching them. ONLY if she's touching theme though, which is why the soldiers and Bots weren't covered. that's the sum of her powers if you were confused.
