AN: 6th one...I think I'm struggling but oh well right??
Anyway after this one I will focus my attention on the Prequel to this peice, which will explain the reason why Barricade, Frenzy, and NiteFire are all together, what they are looking for, and how they got the way they did...so yeah
I do not own Barricade or Frenzy, or any of the other Transformers...Hasbro does...but I do own NiteFire
Half a month later, after many visits from the precautious beast and min robot, and many close calls, Alex, finally got her lisence. Barricade was fortunate enough to be the vehicle of choice for her test. She passed by 5 points but it was enough to make her happy, as well as himself. Now she could drive without her mother, and Barricade didn't like her mother because she would constantly make him work harder than needed.
After she got her permit she celebrated a bit. When night rolled around she drove her friend, Gabriela home. She also stayed for a while to visit with her friends. At one point she found herself waiting outside looking at the stars. Alex decided she wanted to spend the cool moment of the night on the hood of her truck, problem was that the hood was much higher up, so to get there she would have to jump. Alex stepped back a good five feet or so to get a running start.
She looked at the hood of the immobile truck and prepared her strong muscles for running and jumping. Finally, she took off at a good sprinting speed. She leaped, but a little too late. So instead of landing her upper body on top of the hood where she could then pull herself up, she landed a little lower. Her stomach hit the edge of the nose hard. She fell to the ground, winded and in dull pain. The only thought going through her head was "Ow...that's gonna leave one hell of a bruise. I'll be lucky if I will be able to eat or move tomorrow" she thought as she groaned. She was in so much pain that she didn't notice that the Ford looming over her had started itself, but she did notice it move backward.
She looked up with a frightened look, as if whatever had got in the truck was going to run over her. Instead, she heard a strange robotic sound that her ears had never experienced before. She didn't see much, because of the moonless night, but she did see that her truck was not parked where it was before she had attempted to jump on top of it. After the strange sounds ceased, she tried to stand, but was in too much pain to do so. In the small amount of light there was, she saw two strange looking objects that resembled feet, but her vision was a bit blurry so she thought she was just seeing things. Hoping they were the tires to the Ranger she crawled toward them and almost touched the one to her left side.
But to her surprise, the tire moved, and slowly replacing it was another metalic object that was unidentafiable to her. She heard numerous sounds that didn't sound healthy, cracking and scraping, and eventually a soft thud next to her. Her eyes finally adjusted to the darkness and to her subsiding pain. To her right, a metal object, which resembled open hand with palm up, lay next to her own hand. She was afraid to touch it, but there was still some curiosity. She remained motionless as she glared the strange new object down.
To her surprise she felt gentle, but rigid cold objects nudging her. She turned around and gasped at the same hand-like thing that slowly nudged her to the one on the ground. When Alex's legs were the only things not on the metallic item, the protusions ,which resembled fingers, closed gently around her body and soon she found herself being lifted into the air. With her legs hanging, she glanced down and then quickly closed her eyes and hugged on of the protusions, praying whatever it was that was lifting her, would not be so rash to drop her from however high she was.
After a few seconds, she felt the hand stop rising. Now it just hovered in midair. Alex opened her eyes. She could see a lot from the height she was at. She was bad at judging so she couldn't tell exactly how high she was, but she knew it was too high for her likings. She gazed over the landscape. Surprisingly she didn't notice that the thing attached to the hand was staring at her waiting for a frightened reaction. Alex looked over at her friend's house. They were unaware that she was hovering however far off the ground. Finally something clicked in her head, she felt like she was being watched by something. She looked down at the surface she was sitting on and slowly followed where ever it lead. Despite the lack of light she could see a few white peices of what looked like to be the siding of the truck.
She continued to follow until she ended up meeting a pair of glowing, pupiless red eyes that were maybe the size of her hands. She felt her blood turn cold and her heart race as she fixed her sights on the glowing orbs which seemed to be staring back at her. The eerie gleam of the optics lite up part of what seemed to resemble a face with a large number of metallic differences, for starters, the seemingly rezor sharp teeth that slightly protruded from the creature's jaws made Alex focus on them and shudder in fear.
"Do not be frightned little human. I do not wish to harm you." a loud synthesised voice boomed. The sound of it had a sort of comforting feel that made Alex let her gaurd down a little, but the fact that it came from the giant robot, didn't help with the relaxing at all. She fixed her eyes back on to the large optics, still gazing at her, or so she assumed. She tried to speak but all she managed to utter was a tiny squeak.
Just then her friends, Gabriela and Bobbi, both being related to each other, opened the door and walked out onto their small front porch. They looked around and saw a large figure standing in their driveway, a good 10 yards away. Bobbi raised an eyebrow at the figure as he soon identified it as a giant robot and wisely took a few steps back regardless of the fact that it held a good friend. Gabriela soon identified it as a robot and almost followed her brother when she managed to see the sillouhette of Alex sitting in, what she thought to be, the robot's hand. A little braver than her younger sibling she managed to shout a warning at Barricade, who ignored her. His attention was drawn beyond the house.
Next door, a trailer sat with a family of 2 children no older than the age of 12 and their parents. They were not the best of neighbors, but they all managed to live in peace, despite the many behind the back death threats tha Bobbi often made. They were enjoying their evening and for once there was no yelling or screaming or wild children running about madly. Tonight they were out of town, so there was no bother to the other neighbors.
Beside's the residents of thier neighbors to the right, there was nothing but trees next to the. A surprisingly perfect hiding place for a thirty foot tall, biological Cybertronian, who at this time had spotted his friend Barricade and began to plow through the trees as if they were blades of tall grass. When the giant reached the clearing he paid no mind to the trialer tha soon found it's way beneathi his foot. As soon as it had been stomped down the middle, the creature let out a howl of pain as it came crashing to the ground and nursing it's now bleeding foot. Apparently, Biological Cybertronians and Trailers, don't mix.
