PART 2
Everyone waited in spark gripping anxiousness as Ratchet treated Blinx's injures in the med bay, but it was uncertain how long it would take to finish and the Elite Guard would be at the base any minute. They were all wondering who had attacked her, but the only one who had the answer was Blinx, they'd have to wait until she was fully conscious to tell them. Ratchet then came into the room wiping his hands with a sterile cloth.
"You can see her now." He told them.
Everyone then followed him to the med bay where Blinx was laying on the table, just getting over the morphine Ratchet had given her. Bandages covered her arms and legs and small band aids covered the scratches on her face.
"Hey, Blinx. You feelin' any better?" Bulkhead said.
"For now, until the morphine fully wears off." Blinx replied.
"Blinx, I need to ask you about the attack on you. Do you remember what the culprits look like?" Optimus said.
"I sure as hell do, they were Decepticons, two of them. One was grey, black, and silver, his chevron tips curved over his head like a ram's horns, and he has a police car mode. The other was half my height, he was purple and tan, and he looked crazy and wrong in the head, sounded like it too."
The explanation she gave made the Autobots exchange looks of concern, the culprits she described matched the Decepticons that Ultra Magnus showed them all too well. Prowl then activated his holoprojector and pulled up the photo shots.
"Are these the Decepticons you're talking about?" He asked as he showed her the pictures.
"Yeah, that's them, and they blew up my bike! If they show their faces again, I'm gonna kick their asses!" Blinx said infuriated.
"But why? What did they want from you?" Sari asked.
Before Blinx could give an answer, they heard tires screeching soon followed by someone talking, it could only mean that the Elite Guard had arrived. The Autobots left Sari and Blinx in the med bay and went back to the rec room where their guests were waiting.
"Ultra Magnus, sir. Good to see you again, Commander." Optimus said as he and his team saluted.
"As to you Optimus Prime." Ultra Magnus replied.
"I can't believe we're back on this spew inducing planet of organics. Of all the planets in the galaxy, why'd those Cons come to this one?" Sentinel complained.
"Hey come on, Sentinel, this planet's cool, ya just gotta get to know it better." Jazz said.
The plow just scowled, not even replying."Any way, there's still the matter of Barricade and Frenzy loose on this planet and there is no telling what it is they're up to." Ultra Magnus said.
"Commander, we believe that we might have a lead on them, we actually have a witness to it." Optimus said.
Just then Blinx and Sari came into the room and approached the bots.
"Hey what gives, guys? You just left us in the room without a word." Blinx said.
"Oh great, you have more grotesque organics in your pathetic excuse for a base and you didn't run it by us?" Sentinel said rudely.
"Excuse me, what?" Blinx questioned, visibly not happy about what he said.
"Don't mind him, he's a complete arrogant." Prowl said to her.
"I heard that, you flunk!" The plow snapped.
"Optimus Prime, care to explain what you meant when you said you had a witness?" Ultra Magnus questioned.
"Of course, sir." Optimus said before turning his attention to Blinx.
"Prime, what's going on here? Who are these guys?" She asked.
"There're officers of the Elite Guard from Cybertron, they're here to apprehend the Decepticons you saw. This is our Commander, Ultra Magnus, that's Jazz, and…Sentinel."
"That's Sentinel Prime to you, Optimus." Sentinel rudely told him.
Prime ignored his statement and continued on.
"Commander, this is Blinx, she's the witness."
"Complete slag, there's no way your actually considering this organic as a lead to those Cons." Sentinel said.
"Prime, his attitude reminds me of someone. He's just like that asshole from my childhood elementary school in the virtual world." Blinx said to Optimus.
"Just ignore him." Prime told her.
"Honestly, how can she possibly be a witness to Barricade and Frenzy's actions."
"Because they attacked me, you self-centered bastard!"
The officers' optics widened in surprise after hearing what she told them.
"Is this true, Miss?" Ultra Magnus questioned.
"Sir, they chased all the way to the harbor, they threw explosives at me, my arms and legs are in bandages, and my bike has been totaled. Would I be lying if it wasn't true?" Blinx said.
"But why would they attack you? It doesn't make sense." Bumblebee said.
"They wanted something from me, but I didn't know what they were talking about. I was lucky I was able to fight them off before they could kill me."
The whole room suddenly fell silent for a moment, not a sound was made until Sentinel broke it with laughter.
"Ah ha ha ha ha! There's no way an organic like you could take out two Decepticons single-handedly, especially Barricade and Frenzy!"
Blinx was now starting to loose her patience with this guy, Optimus knew what was going to happen and tried to get the Elite Guard officer to back down.
"Don't set her off, Sentinel, she's not as organic as you think she is."
"No seriously, a mere organic can't possibly beat the most dangerous Decepticons on Cybertron! I mean look at her, she looks like a stripper femme!" The plow laughed.
"THE HELL DID YOU JUST CALL ME?" Blinx screamed.
"Sentinel Prime, stand down!" Ultra Magnus ordered.
"Sir, you can't honestly believe this organic's lies, the Deadly Duo are the two most wanted Decepticriminals on Cybertron and have been able to outwit the Elite Guard numerous times. If we couldn't take em down, then there's no way at all a skimped out organic could even"
Suddenly an enraged Blinx grabbed Sentinel by his foot and roughly flipped him onto the floor, she then took some chains and hog-tied his limbs together, them punched him between the optics. She turned on her heel and went to go change out of her uniform, everyone stood with shocked expressions that soon turned into smiles, Sentinel then started to fume.
"Hey get back here, you little glitch! I don't care if you're an organic, I'll have you seriously charged for assaulting an Elite Guard officer!" He yelled.
Blinx just flipped him off as a response, not even turning around or pausing her walking.
"Hey! I don't know what that means, but I assume it as offensive backlash!"
The whole crew just watched in amusement as the jackass Prime struggled and fumed on the floor, even Ultra Magnus and Jazz couldn't help but be slightly amused. A few minutes later, and after untying Sentinel, everyone continued to discuss the matter of Barricade and Frenzy further.
"As you all know, 10 megacycles ago, Decepticons Barricade and Frenzy had escaped our troops and used a Space Bridge to warp to Earth. What it is they're after is unknown at this moment." Ultra Magnus announced.
"What is it that we need to know about these two, sir?" Optimus questioned.
"Barricade is a notorious mastermind and a crafty Con, he has been known to take down the strongest and most skilled of Autobots single-handedly. Frenzy is his partner, he is mentally unstable, hyper, and above all unpredictable. He is a notorious hacker and spy, able to obtain valuable information in 14 nanoclicks."
"These Cons are also slippery as an oil coated circuit board, they've been able to escape arrest numerous times and we have no clue how they do it." Jazz added.
"So where're they gonna strike next?" Bumblebee asked.
"That is unknown at this point, but it appears Miss Blinx is their target. If she goes anywhere, Barricade and Frenzy are most likely to show up, so she must be kept under watchful surveillance until they're apprehended." Ultra Magnus said.
"Sir, with all do respect, I refuse to believe that the Deadly Duo would be after this organic for anything, let alone that she took them on." Sentinel said.
"You still think I'm lying? Do you not see the aftermath on my arms and legs? They're proof that I'm not lying!" Blinx snapped angrily.
"And we believe you, Blinx." Optimus said.
"Well I don't! I don't if any of you disagree with my opinions, organics are nothing more than disgusting, putrid, and worthless sacks of slag that can't control their mating urges!" The plow snapped.
That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Blinx snapped and became full blown enraged, her hands glowed and turned into energy projectors as her eyes glowed whitish blue and a cosmic aura surrounded her. Everyone in the room became completely shell-shocked and backed a faraway distance from her, Sentinel inched away as Blinx slowly approached him step by step.
"You think this is all a joke? You think I'm making this shit up? Those Cons chased me around a deserted part of the city, they threw bombs at me, I was almost killed! And you think I a goddamn liar? And you think humans are worthless and disgusting? Well I've got three words for you, Sentinel Prime! …GO FUCK YOURSELF!"
After screaming the last words, Blinx unleashed a sizable blast of cosmic energy beams directly at the Elite Guard officer, blasting him right through the upper wall and propelling him far into the city. Soon afterwards, Blinx calmed down and everything returned to normal. When she turned to the others and saw the look of the shocked expressions on their faces, she realized she had let the cat out of the bag.
"Uh…I can explain why I did that…"
But she didn't because she ran out of the base and kept on running into the city, not looking back. None of the bots moved to stop her due to being in deep shock by what they just saw, none of them could even speak.

Blinx sat on her bed, facing a small wooden box with designer carvings she had found at the dumpsite in front of her. She spent the last half hour staring hard at it with a scowl on her face, she finally stopped scowling and sighed heavily.
"Why?" She said to the box as if she expected it to talk back.
A sudden noise from the down level disrupted Blinx from her thoughts and prompted her to investigate. She snuck downstairs as she activated her energy projectors, if the intruders were the Decepticons or the Drones, they were going to be in a world of pain for breaking into her home. She finally reached the doorway that lead to the main living room and ran in ready to blast the intruders.
"Freeze, assholes!" She screamed.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot!" A familiar voice replied.
Blinx recognized the voice as Bumblebee and turned on the lights, she then saw all the Autobots, even Sentinel unfortunately, and Sari standing in the room.
"Don't any of you ever knock?" She asked rudely.
"We would have, but you left the door open." Prowl said.
"Dammit, I knew there was something I forgot. What do you all want anyways?"
"Blinx, we need to have a serious talk about what happened, and we all would like to hear what you wanted to explain to us." Optimus said.
"And why's HE here?" Blinx questioned, pointing at Sentinel.
"To hear the excuses you come up with so I can testify against them when you're standing before the entire Cybertron council with charges of assaulting an Elite Guard officer twice!" The plow said.
"Enough, Sentinel Prime!" Ultra Magnus snapped at him.
Blinx hesitated, but allowed them all to take a seat in the room, much to Sentinels disgust of sitting on something used by an organic.
"Go on, go ahead and condemn me, I can take it." Blinx said, acting like she had been ridiculed for many years.
"We will do no such thing Miss Blinx, we only ask that you answer our questions honestly. From what Optimus Prime had told me, you are a techno organic created in a laboratory. Is that true?" Ultra Magnus said.
"Yes, it is."
"Oh great, now we're interrogating a half-bred freak." Sentinel said out loud.
Everyone shot him 'shut up or I'll kill you' looks, silencing him in a millisecond, Blinx then continued on.
"I'm the first-born of the 10 techno organics in a project created by my father creator Isaac Sumdac called Nano Organic Android Human, we have the anatomy just like other humans, but our bones are made of circuitry and we possess abilities that no normal human would have.
Neither me or my brothers and sisters are related by blood, but we were raised to be a family. Sari then came into our family when I was 10, so she's my sister by adoption…even though pops never got around to filling out the paperwork."
"Sari?…I thought you looked familiar." Jazz said, directing it towards the redhead.
"Then you're probably wondering how I got 5 years older in one year." Sari replied.
"Save that for later sis, I'm still talking." Blinx told her. "The 10 of us lived in a virtual reality world based off the real world, everything was programmed in, and we were all a happy family. Until 2 years later when we were abducted by criminals and brainwashed to become criminals like them.
I was the only one who escaped and suffered 6 long torturous years running and hiding, hoping that one day I'd be rescued, luckily I ran into Optimus and his crew."
"I'm deeply sorry for what you have gone through." Ultra Magnus said.
Sentinel just rolled his optics, he couldn't believe his commander was showing pity towards this freak.
"Yeah yeah, half of us have heard that story already. Now can we please get to the part about those freaky power beams you just shot from your hands?" Bumblebee said.
"Bumblebee's right, we need to discuss that." Optimus said. "The action you displayed a half a megacycle ago was uncalled for, …but it also wasn't you. I understand you can loose your temper sometimes, but you've never done anything like this before, and"
"Ok, let me stop you right there, Prime. I know what you're gonna ask, and no, the project had no extra features." Blinx said.
"Then care to explain how you obtained those power beams." Prowl said, wanting to hear her answer.
Blinx knew that they were on to her secret and she could no longer hide it, she had to come clean now. She got up and walked out of the room, telling everyone she'd be right back. Everyone exchanged glances, curious as to what she was doing. Seconds later, Blinx came back and retook her seat, only now she was holding a small wooden box with designer carvings on her lap.
"What's with the box, Blinx?" Bulkhead asked.
"…This box contains a secret that I've been hiding from you all. A very dark secret that I've kept before you even knew I existed. I'm intrusting you all with this information and that it must not be known by anyone else"
"Just get on with it!" Sentinel snapped.
Blinx scowled at him and slowly lifted the lid up, when the box was fully opened, everyone gasped in shock by what was inhabiting it. Inside the box was no other than…
"It…it can't be." Bumblebee stuttered in shock.
"It's…" Sari choked.
"An Allspark fragment." Optimus finished.
Sentinel pushed past the bots that were in his way to see if it was true, when he saw it was, he glared at Blinx in an unpleasant way.
"Where did you get that, you putrid half-breed?" He snarled.
Blinx then sent another powerful blast at him, propelling the plow through the wall and sent him crashing into the old building next door. After Jazz and Bulkhead dug him out of the rubble, the Autobots decided to have a serious talk with the blue haired girl about her discovery.
"Blinx, do you realize that what you have in the box is a piece of the Allspark, the most powerful relic in all of Cybertron." Optimus said.
"I thought it was just an ordinary crystal…at least when I first saw it." Blinx said.
"Recently?" Bumblebee asked.
"No, 6 months ago. Weren't you listening at all? I said this was before I met you guys."
"Ok, calm down, no need to be snappy."
"Don't be afraid to tell us about it, Blinx, no one here is going to judge you." Optimus said to her.
After saying that, everyone gave a warning glare at Sentinel, which he scowled at. Blinx hesitated for a moment, then began her story.
"…Well, as I said, 6 months ago, I was still on the run from the criminals who kidnapped me. I was in an unfamiliar city, hiding in an alleyway so I could have a moment of peace. Suddenly I saw a light coming from behind a trashcan, I looked behind it and found a pretty blue crystal the size of a cell phone.
I was wondering what something like that would be doing in a filthy garbage-filled alley, I was thinking it may belong to someone, but I didn't think twice before I bent down and picked it up. When I did, it shocked me in a forceful and very painful way, it was like being struck by lightning.
I suddenly found myself in a black void and the rags I wore were shred into ribbons, wrapping around me. I was scared out of my mind, I had no idea what was going on, it was like a freaked out nightmare without being asleep. Then these trippy colors swirled all around and began to form images of things that were unknown to me. First I was shown what looked to be a metal planet, next came two head like symbols, one red, the other purple.
I didn't know what they were until after I realized that they were worn by the bots who saved me and the ones they warned me about, they were Autobot and Decepticon symbols. Then I was shown flashes of alien-like robots from each symbol, it didn't occur to me that some of them looked familiar til later on.
Then just as I thought it couldn't get more weirder, all the colors combined and formed a large ball of blue crystal just like the one I was holding. Then out of nowhere, a pair of pure blue eyes bigger than what I could even imagine appeared from the darkness. They were looking at me, just fixed right on me, it was really uncomfortable and creepy.
I then felt a rushing surge through my body, then there was a blinding light, and then I was back in the alleyway, everything back intact. I then had to leave quickly because the enemy had caught up, but I couldn't just leave the crystal in that disgusting place, so I got some string, put a hole in it and made it into a necklace."
"You desecrated a piece of the Allspark? That's it, you are now fiercely charged with that and assaulting an Elite Guard officer three times!" Sentinel yelled.
Ultra Magnus was about to shout at him, but Blinx had beaten him to it.
"You know what, you self-righteous, arrogant, racist prick? I have had enough of your shit! You've been nothing but an asshole to me and my friends ever since you set foot on this planet. You think an organic shouldn't be in possession of your precious Allspark piece? Then you can have it, I didn't want it in the first place!"
With that, she threw the box square into Sentinel's face, he removed the fragment from the box and stormed off fuming. Suddenly the fragment jerked itself out of the Prime's hand and floated back to Blinx, putting itself over her head and rested around her neck. Everyone had now just become frozen stiff with shock by what they had just seen.
"…Am I hallucinating? Or did the fragment just float halfway across the room over to Blinx." Bumblebee stuttered.
"Your not hallucinating, little buddy, I saw it too." Bulkhead replied.
"Crazy." Jazz breathed.
"In all the stellar cycles of my Autobot career, I've never seen anything like this happen." Ratchet said in awe.
"Hey, Prowl. You're an expert with all that spiritual stuff. Can you make any sense of what that was?" Bumblebee said to the ninjabot.
Prowl crossed his arms over his chest and gazed at a spot on the floor in consideration, this was definitely something supernatural, but he was uncertain of what it exactly was. He then crouched down in front of Blinx and laid his index finger on the fragment, he then proceeded to use his Processor over Matter technique to connect with it. After a moment, Prowl ceased his actions and stood in silence.
"Well, Prowl?" Optimus questioned.
"…it seems the fragment has chosen Blinx to be its keeper." The motorcycle replied.
"…huh?" Bumblebee utter moronically.
"I don't understand it clearly, but it's true."
"That's a load of scrap metal! I don't care if your foolish supernatural beliefs says it's true, there's absolutely no way in the rotting pit that a fragment of the Allspark would choose an organic to be its keeper, let alone a half-bred freak!" Sentinel snapped.
The cosmic aura returned as Blinx began to severely fume, prompting everyone to slink away. They had expected her to shoot another blast of cosmic energy, but instead she did something different. She grabbed Bulkhead and hoisted him over her head, she then threw him at Sentinel and proceeded to run out the exit door into the city.
"Sis, wait!" Sari yelled as she ran after her.
After that whole ordeal, Optimus and Ratchet helped Bulkhead off the flattened Elite Guard officer, but didn't bother to help him up. Suddenly a thought sparked In Prowl's processor, a bad thought of realization.
"Oh no."
"What is it, Prowl?" Optimus asked concerningly.
"The fragment, it must be what Barricade and Frenzy are after, that's way they attacked Blinx."
"Oh slag, I think he's right, Bossbot." Bumblebee said.
"Then she has no idea that she's put herself in serious danger." The fire truck said. "We have to find her now before the Decepticons do. Autobots roll out!"
To be Continued…
