"Talking"
~Bond Speak~
'Thoughts'
The meeting was still dragging on, and his mind was dragging along with it.
Running his hand through his hair, Major William Lennox looked on in disinterest at the presentation being given. He had more important things to do at the moment then put his entire focus in this discussion, better things that slowly made him lose concentration.
Just earlier today some huge commotion spread through the base as some "precious cargo" was brought in. With all the security surrounding the crates it seemed more "dangerous", then "precious".
But something had to be fishy about it, that bastard Galloway was all over it. The twins came in also, and he planned on asking them, but before he could reach them, they were immediately sent to the med bay, via direct orders from Ratchet.
And now he was stuck in this meeting.
Letting out a pain staking sigh, he leaned back in his chair, mumbling about how his day couldn't get any better.
"I'm sorry, what was that Major Lennox?"
He looked up to see everyone present was staring at him intently, including General Morshower. "Nothing sir."
"Your NEST project is nothing?", Morshower scoffed at him.
Will was so lost in his thoughts he didn't even know he was asked a question. He hoped he wasn't to far back in the conversation. 'But wait, I wasn't paying attention since the beginning', he thought to himself. 'Oh well.'
"No sir, I meant NEST is going perfectly fine and I have nothing to report.", Will looked to see his right hand man and best friend, Robert Epps, giving him an incredulous look across from him. It was obvious he saw through his quick cover up.
The older general rubbed his thin beard thoughtfully before continuing. "What about that new project you were working on, Major. The one with the science division, has it been completed as of yet."
"Not yet, I would gladly go into finer details, but such sensitive information can not be discussed here, . . .sir.", he actually was allowed seeing how everyone in this room is somehow affiliated with NEST, he just didn't feel like sharing it with the world yet.
"I understand.", the general ended.
"I'm not so sure about that. Anything involving NEST and those robots are surely up for discussion, isn't that right, Major ."
His eyes snapped to the speaker, Galloway.
How he wanted to just shoot him point blank, throw him in a ditch and say the decepticons did it. Oh how he wished.
"It is, but such secure information should not jut be openly discussed."
"Are you keeping secrets? Since NEST is top -secret, I don't think any harm will come.", Galloway sneered from across the large meeting room.
"Yes, gentleman, you can discuss all about it on your own time. But I would like to end this meeting soon if you don't mind.", Morshower said, irritated with the debate.
Will gave a firm nod in understanding but kept his eyes locked on Galloway who was staring at him from across the table.
As the meeting went on to close, Will had a bad feeling in his gut when the room was bathed in red, as several alarms went off and Galloway was the first to leave.
Kira's Pov -
Pain.
So much pain.
I didn't know one could fell so much pain at once, but here I am feeling it full throttle. But deep inside the black void I was swimming in was a light touch of warmth.
Searching for more in the eternal darkness I saw this distant speck of light flittering in and out. I ran and ran but seemed to be going no where, as my feet were but lead.
Huffing in frustration I ignored the pain grasping me back and tried throwing my self at the light. Earning a few inches here and there but nothing in comparison to the distance needed to be covered.
I was about to give up when I was struck down with a series of emotions. Falling down to a black floor, pain was forgotten as anger, frustration, and severe longing clouded my mind.
Kai.
It had to be. I had to find him, but I could barely move around in this void of emptiness. Then, the strangest thing happened.
Lying on the floor I was holstered up by firm, yet gentle hands, to my feet. Looking up all I could see were bright golden spheres that I assumed were eyes that lit up the surrounding area.
Looking onward I noted there was no body, just, eyes.
"Who are you?", I choked. My throat was dryer then I thought.
It said nothing for awhile before the light at the end of the darkness began to pulse brightly. My hair felt like tiny threads of fire connected to my brain as it got worse with the brightening light.
Looking back to the golden eyes they let out a long sigh. "Go.", they boomed in a deep baritone voice. "As the stronger one, he needs your support more then anything right now. We will meet again when destiny sees to it."
I was going to tell him where he could stick his 'destiny' if he didn't answer my question, if only the air hadn't been sucked out of my lungs.
Everything started cackling with blue electricity, and the darkness around me receded back into the deepest corner as the pulsing light completely engulfed me and the golden eyes vanished.
A loud scream escaped my lips as I was thrust forward from some unknown force towards the blinding light.
The scream died on my lips as I sat bolt upright, sweat pouring off of me like water. My vision was horribly blurry as I tried to focus, all I saw was a bright light hovering over me, then strange shadows danced in my line of vision as hands grabbed at my flailing body.
Panic set in as I thrashed even more, trying to get away from the physical assault, but the dozens of hands eventually overpowered me and I just lay there struggling.
What happened next caused a new set of screams to leave my aching body as sharp electricity was pushed through my side and through my body. After the fifth time that kept happening I took a hint and just laid there limp.
I heard muffled speaking but nothing I could differentiate into sentences. But whatever they were saying they kept saying.
With a sharp wince, everything came into focus. My hearing was sharp, sharper then usual. And my vision was so clear I saw everything in immense detail.
"Its okay. Calm down. Just calm down. Its alright. We're here to help."
I lazily looked over to the lady speaking, she had beautiful hazel eyes that spoke for everything seeing how her face was hidden behind a mask. Her voice coaxed with a motherly tone, making me relax, if slightly. "You didn't have to harm her y'know."
Off to my left, I looked to a rigid looking man dressed in uniform, he was holding a metal rod in his hand that he was aiming at me. "It got her to stop all that nonsense screaming, did it not? I want her in room i12, immediately.", giving me a final glare he stalked out of the room.
What was going on? I don't understand any of this! How did I even end up here? Last thing that I remember was me and Kai coming home and me having that weird dream. With those dueling, over-sized, combat robots.
'Probably hysteria from weeks of not eating.', I mused sarcastically. But that still doesn't answer why I'm here and where was my brother.
I was so confused, but the hell if I didn't hurt! I was wincing at every little touch these doctors were doing. Turning me this way and that, scanning me down with these weird beeping machines and what not. But the woman from before easily saw my pain and walked off only to return with a needle.
She quickly but efficiently cleaned off a patch of skin and penetrated it. God if that didn't set my nerves off. I hissed at the pain but as soon as it came it was gone.
The sharp pain slowly died down to a dulled throb or even a completely numb feeling. I liked numb.
With a unison of nods, the many doctors walked off with their stupid machines and hooked it up to many computers lining the wall. Only that one woman didn't leave my side.
I looked at her keenly aware that she helped me. "Sorry about all the hostility. The man back there was General Weinston, such a pain in the ass, let me tell you. My name's Dr. Crawford."
I guess she was waiting on me to say something but I was so confused that my mind wasn't registering anything my body wanted to do, that included speaking. So I just took to staring at her blankly.
Her eyes showed a hint of sadness if only a hint as she loomed over me. Releasing a sigh she slowly sat me up, I noticed I was no longer in my old ragged clothes but was instead in a pair of white shorts. My upper body wasn't in a clothed shirt but instead white bandages that wrapped around my middle, ending under my arms.
Reaching up to my throat I gave a sigh of relief, my mother's pendant was still magically around my neck and was nesting peacefully on my chest.
The woman saw my reaction and smiled, "Don't worry. I took it off before those others confiscated it and put it back on when the tests were done.".
I gave the weakest smile, but she saw it. "I know how special those things could be.", she pulled out a heart shaped locket from under her medical attire. "Got one from my baby boy."
I still couldn't find my voice still, but she seemed content enough without any responses out of me. I watched her as she grabbed a white roll of bandages before motioning me to lift up my arms.
Following her order I noted the dull throb as I did this. Might have been a very painful motion if she didn't give me that shot.
"When you got here, I didn't know what to think. You were so banged up.", she said rewrapping some of the old bandages. "Anyway, you're clear to move around thus, being sent to i12. Just take plenty of pain-meds, ok.", she was guiding me off of the warm medical cot I was on.
I gave her a look of pure bewilderment, everything was happening so fast I could barely keep up. She gave me her arm as support as she made me trudge across the sterile white floor. I tried to speak even though it came out as a hoarse whine.
"What are you talking about, and what's going on? Where's my brother?"
That shut her up.
Her eyes were full of sorrow before she replied. "I don't have the jurisdiction to answer that, but you have my sincere apologies."
We were exiting the hospital room into a pristine hallway filled with army guards. We took a left and Dr. Crawford led me onward, even as they continued to sneer at me, one even nudged me with the butt of his gun. I snapped my head at him and growled causing him to jump slightly.
A few minutes passed when Dr. Crawford stopped abruptly in front of two large double doors. Looking inside I noted the long silver table with two lone chairs on both sides and no windows besides multiple cameras. It made sense now, i12.
'Interrogation room 12', I thought annoyed.
What could I possibly be interrogated for! I don't even know how I got here! Could it involve Kai?
That didn't sit well with me. A cold shiver went through my body and I guess Dr. Crawford noticed because she rubbed my back softly trying to console me.
I was about to walk in when she grabbed my hand and pulled me back into a hug.
"They have him. I don't know who, and I don't know where but he's in this complex. General Weinston is a cruel man along with his band of elite soldiers who are out for power, the tests we took on you showed us you're filled with it. You and your brother.", she whispered quickly and quietly into my ear.
"The data we received is somehow linked to the transformers. They should be able to help you, you must find a means of escape before the general takes you."
She pulled away abruptly before giving my hand a tight squeeze. A couple of the guards shoved her away from me, leaving me alone and surprised.
She sent me a mouthed 'go' before disappearing down the hallway. The soldiers ushered me into the bland room and shoved me towards the empty chair facing the door which I took unwillingly.
I sat in the chair waiting, tapping my fingers madly on the silver table top. Eyeing down the two soldiers in the room with me, one was short, with light brown hair and blue eyes. While the other was tall with sandy blonde hair and green eyes.
Either way, they both erked me.
They looked like military but no military I ever seen. They had some weird looking insignia on their shoulder. I couldn't really tell what, but it didn't look friendly.
What could they possibly want with me? And what was that doctor talking about? And where was my brother! Every passing minute was wearing on my nerves, I couldn't take much more of the stalling before my cool snaps.
'Power', I thought looking over my hands, flipping them this way and that. Just what was she talking about?
Feeling a low tingle in my fingers I began to have second thoughts. At first I thought it was just a dream, me and Kai being attacked and stuck between two clashing robots. But all the bruises that lined my body seemed to say otherwise.
A loud bang snapped my attention to the doors as they were brutally opened and connected with the wall. In walked the same man from before, the one who shocked me, General Weinston.
I immediately hated this guy not only because of his attitude, but because of the bad vibe I was getting from him.
He took the seat directly across from me and motioned for the soldiers to leave, even though they were hesitant, they obeyed.
Dogs', I thought smirking to myself.
The man in front of me coughed catching my attention as my eyes snapped back to him. I didn't say anything as he stared me down before adjusting himself in his seat.
"You're lucky to have survived something like that, you know." I didn't say anything, so he continued. "Caused a bit of trouble in the last day, you did. So tell me, how did you survive?"
I took to glaring a hole through his skull, hoping he would explode into a million pieces and leave me alone.
He repeated his question, I glared harder.
A vicious snarl crossed his face when he saw I wasn't talking. He stood abruptly and stalked over to me, I tried to scoot back but I was to weak to move completely by myself.
He took a firm hold on my arm and slammed it down on the metal table, palm up. "I'll ask one more time, how?", he stressed.
"How am I supposed to know!", I snapped at him.
"Wrong answer.", he said lowly. He pulled out that metal rod from before and jammed it down onto my awaiting palm and pressed a button.
A fresh scream left my lips as my body convulsed in the chair and he stood there smiling deviously before pulling away.
I gasped for breath that my lungs refused to take in and my eyes went blurry as tears started to rise. I wouldn't cry though. I promised myself that a long time ago.
"What I noticed in our quick studies of you, is that your body doesn't accept outside electrical currents that well. Like trying to send the flow of a battery the wrong way. Feels like your getting split apart, does it not?", he sneered.
I hated him because he was right, the pain was excruciating. But I still wasn't going to just talk openly.
"While you were sleeping you kept calling out a name.", he said mischievously, encircling my chair. "Seems as though you are very close with the other child. I see the resemblance.", he said petting my hair.
I stiffened and jerked away from his touch. "Maybe we should show him that his body doesn't accept it that well, either." He sat back in his chair and eyed my reaction. I was so conflicted and angered that I started to lose focus, on everything.
"You wouldn't dare.", I all but growled at him.
"Oh, but I would!", he had that glint in his eyes and I knew he was serious.
I stood to my feet outraged. "You touch him and I swear I'll kill you!". A low static humming filled the air and the fluorescent lights above dimmed slightly.
General Weinston noticed this and became very uneasy. "Sit down."
"Where's Kai!", I demanded punching the table and leaving a visible dent on the surface.
"I said, to sit. Down.", he said slightly raising his voice. He was so aggravating!
The lights above exploded with a burst of blue energy as glass rained down on us both. It was dark but I could see clear enough the doorway as soldiers came pouring in.
Jumping over the table, new found strength rushed through me as I ran at the guards but I faltered a little when white streaked across my vision.
I had that same feeling as before. As if I didn't have a care in the world as I floated through this mysterious white dimension. A large gust of wind blew my hair back as I landed hard on my side.
Opening my eyes my vision was clear again but I was back in the medical room. 'Damn!', I thought annoyed.
Two of the doctors that were in the room turned and looked at me wide-eyed. "How'd you get in here?", one asked incredulously.
I clambered back to my feet as the white room was filled with an eerie red light and alarms blared all around. 'Shit.', I thought.
Rushing out the doors, again. I took an immediate right not wanting to be led back to that room and took off. Pushing past many people who were too caught up with the alarms to care about a random child, I made it a long way before coming to a halt.
A fork in the road you may say, I had to find Kai but I was getting no responses from him. I had to go somewhere but the long hallway that led left or the equally as long hallway that went to the right could take me anywhere, and I did not want to get caught.
Thinking about taking a different route I turned back around only to stop in my tracks as I saw General Weinston standing there in the middle of the hallway, the red lights from above making him seem like the devil himself.
Taking my chances I spun back around and randomly chose the left and ran as fast as my legs could carry me. Loud yells didn't once falter from behind me as pounding footsteps chased after my retreating form.
They were after me, but I had to get out of here and find my brother. Bursting through a large metal door I was greeted by the violent rays of the sun.
With a surprised scream I snapped my eyes shut from the excruciating pain, as they began to water and sting. But I kept running, and the loud crash of the door reopening told me they caught up with me.
Opening my burning eyes slightly, they adjusted faster than I expected and showed me the large open area of an aerial runway. Planes were stationed in neat rows for easy, and fast access if the need arises.
'So I am on a military base.', I screamed in my head. 'Maybe they caught up with me and Kai for trespassing the city! They found us after all!'
There was this large building that easily caught my eyes but I unknowingly started to run towards it. As if something was drawing me there.
I made it a good 30ft towards it and had a straight shot before I was forced to stop as a large, camouflaged painted hummer crossed right in front of me!
Falling backwards in my horrible attempt to stop I saw multiple hummers encircling me. Quickly getting back to my feet I whipped around, turning in full circles taking in the tons of soldiers that made a large circle around me.
I was trapped.
"You should have never ran. You're just making it worse for yourself.", a horribly familiar voice said behind me.
Spinning to face the voice, my eyes caught glimpse of Weinston standing there with his arms crossed behind his back in a mocking manner.
"What do you want!", I screamed.
He let out a horrible laugh, "Why darling, aren't you just the naïve little girl everyone thought you to be. Don't play dumb with me, its obvious you're smarter then that. Power, is what I want."
My body shook with rage, "I don't even know what you're talking about! Just give me my brother back!".
Small bits of blue electricity danced across my fingers, and this didn't go unnoticed by Weinston. His smirk turned into a frown. "Subject is hostile! I want a clean three volts now!"
Stunned by what he said, I watched in fear as a few soldiers lifted up their guns and aimed for me. I was turning back and forth frantically trying to find a way out, . . . there were none.
They fired, expecting bullets to go through me I was shocked when weird looking pins clasped onto my skin but were still attached by a thick wire back to the soldiers.
"Fire.", was all I heard before electricity was pushed into my system causing me to cry out in shock and pain.
It was horrible! My mind wasn't taking in anything but pain and I felt like I was being torn apart from the inside. I tried ripping off the cords but they wouldn't falter in my limp grip.
Then it stopped.
Steam rose off my body and my knees started to wobble dangerously as they buckled slightly but I still stood, much to the soldiers' amazement. Heck, my amazement too.
"Sir, subject still stands!"
I faced back at Weinston to see a cruel smirk cross his face. "Make it six.", he said lowly.
I screamed all over only higher and louder when the shock started back up. Only worse.
My eyes were clenched shut as tears threatened to resurface again, and my body was spasming as the constant flow of electric shocks racked my body.
I felt the distortion deep inside me, what this outside electricity was doing. It was awakening something. Something I knew was laced with power. Something I knew wasn't there before.
Again I felt this weird sensation pass through me besides the pain. I watched in bewilderment as my body reacted on its own accord, as I grabbed hold of another wire and felt that weird sensation build up in my hand.
It kept building until it was to painful to keep up. With a sudden jolt I felt all the trespassing electricity flow out of me through my hand as if a water dam just broke. I channeled all the incoming energy through my body and sent it back out through the wire to the unsuspecting soldier.
Blue electricity raced visibly down the line until it made contact with the source and sent the screaming man flying backwards.
My screams stopped short when everything ceased around me. I fell to my knees as all strength I had quickly vanished into thin air.
But before blacking out, I saw different suited soldiers surround the others, yelling and screaming at them.
Looking back at the tall building my eyes went wide, that just had to be the biggest combat tall robot I've ever seen. Its blue and red colors vanished in my vision as the ground came up to meet me.
Optimus Prime was feeling uneasy all day. With the new arrivals on Earth, Galloway giving him a hard time, and the huge increase in decepticon activity, nothing was smooth running anymore.
And this slagging feeling he was going through didn't make it easier for him. Maybe he should check up with Ratchet soon.
An involuntary shiver went through his systems at the thought. Sometimes that mech really frightened him with his wrench wielding accuracy.
Walking down the large hallways of the base Optimus strolled aimlessly through the corridors. His heavy footfalls echoing off the walls.
Releasing a long sigh he rubbed the bridge of his "nose", something he unknowingly picked up from his human associates. He just couldn't get this nagging feeling out from the bottom of his tanks.
Something was horribly wrong, something his mind was trying to tell him but he couldn't quite place the feeling, but it wasn't a good one.
Just then his sleek frame was washed in red as the alarms and sirens went off across the base.
'This day just couldn't get any better.', he mused to himself as he took off towards the main hangar, sending many startled NEST soldiers scrambling to get out of his way.
Finally reaching the widely spaced room, his optics immediately landed on Major Lennox as he barked orders to a small NEST squad.
"What is going on, Major?", the Autobot leader questioned.
Lennox looked up with a horribly irritated look, "It was those bastards in the science division again.", and with that hopped in a military jeep that took off towards the runway.
Standing in the middle of the main hangar doorway his optics landed on a large band of humans circling a screaming child who was being shocked mercilessly. With a defiant yell she sent a blue current of electricity back at a near by soldier who flew in the opposite direction, only to land in a crumpled heap a few feet away.
That wasn't normal, and the strange sight caused that nagging feeling to deepen in intensity.
Lennox and his team quickly ceased and desisted the other band of soldiers stopping the horrible assault on the screaming femme.
As she collapsed to the ground, Optimus' gaze locked with that of the tear filled ones of the girl. Her gaze bore straight through his spark as she succumbed and fell to the floor.
Lennox was right there as he holstered the limp human child into his arms yelling at all those around him.
"Optimus, what happened?", came Ironhide's gruff reply as he stared with his leader at the scenes unfolding.
Turning to face his weapons specialist, "I'm not sure of the situation. But something severe happened between the humans. Something Major Lennox isn't too happy about."
AN - Sorry about the quality of the chapter, many will think it was rushed,. . .well, it was. -_- But I still hoped you liked it to an extent. (Prob. Edit later on)
So the action and plot thicken! Mwahaha! We were supposed to be with Kai today, but I completely forgot and already typed up like half the story. I was NOT going back to change everything. Soooo, I settled for knocking him out somewhere.
*shrugs* He'll wake up sooner or later,. . .I hope.
So you know the drill! Review for cyber-skittlez! Next chapter it'll be steak! x3
Kai: Eww! Who wants steak! They don't even know where you got it from!
Kitty: Shut up! You're not even awake! Don't make me knock you out again!
Kai: Oh yeah! Say that to my, . . .
Kitty: *hits him from the back with a frying pan* . . . Ummm. . .yeeeah. . . I hope he'll be awake for the next chapter.
Kai: *snoring in a large pool of blood*
Kitty: O.o
