HEY EVERYONE! To make a long story short, my BFF and I just finished the chapter you've all been waiting for! So, without further adue, here's chapter 2!
Something like this was impossible. Sure, they had written stories and made movies about it, but she could never really imagine something happening to her of all people. Sari inwardly sighed, while she remained scowling at a freaked out Bumblebee, who just couldn't stop staring at her.
The yellow bot was amazed at what happened to his friend. So many thoughts were going through his head, that he could only grasp onto one...
Sari looks cuter…Bee had plenty of time to think about things while staring at the older looking Sari. He wasn't sure what to say after his little outburst several minutes before. He tilted his head, "How did this happen?"
"It was an accident," Bee glanced at Isac, who was staring at his daughter, "Sari had found my new invention, and Sari being Sari asked questions about it. I told her that it was a Cancer Ray and that it was for curing cancer, but it was still undergoing construction. Her key suddenly activated the machine, and she was shot by the ray. After she was shot, the ray exploded, and when the smoke cleared, her appearance changed to what you see now."
Bee nodded, feeling a twinge of guilt in spark for doubting his best friend. He turned to Sari, opening his mouth to apologize, only to receive her back to him and a 'HMPH' as she crossed her arms over her chest. The yellow bot quickly maneuvered himself, so that he could stand in front of the girl. Sari stared at him for a second or two, before glaring at him, turning on her heel, her back facing him once again.
Several moments of silence passed, before Sari let out a squeak when a hand wrapped around her, and lifted her up. She frowned when she was face to face with Bee.
"I'm sorry Sari, I just didn't recognize you!" he stated, a hurt look on his metal features.
"I thought you were my best friend, Bee!" she cried. Tears of anger breached her eyes; she wiped them away, her scowl growing.
"I am your best friend!" Bee responded, "I mean, come one, I made a mistake!" She looked away, scowling off in some random direction. About two minutes later, Bee blinked when Sari braced her hands on his hand, trying to free herself from his grasp.
"Sari!" he cried, "Stop that!" She growled, realizing she couldn't escape his grasp.
"Bee, I really need to be alone right now!" she gritted her teeth, glaring silently at him, "Put me down!"
"But…"
"PUT ME DOWN RIGHT THIS MINUTE!" she screeched. Bee sent her a hurt look before carefully setting her down. She glanced up at him, staring at him for several moments, before turning on her heel and began sprinting off in some random direction.
Bee was about to say something, only to be stopped by Isac, "That is typical behavior for teenagers," he chuckled, before glancing at her, "also, you shouldn't have called her old, Bumblebee."
Bee blinked, "Shouldn't I go after her."
"Just let her blow off some steam, she'll forgive you," he smiled, "she cares to much about you to stay angry with you for long."
Bee blushed at the comment.

He's so…grr…
Sari balled her hand into a fist, stomping down the sidewalk. She had taken the bus to get down town, so that her distance from the little yellow Bot was as big as her father would possibly let her. How dare he call her old? She only aged about five years.
She froze in her tracks, look of realization, That is a long time just sped up in about five milliseconds.
She had missed five years of growing up, loosing all the experiences that she could have faced in those years, and all because of the key. She reached into her shirt, pulling her key out, a guilty look crossing her features.
The guys were right, I have been misusing the key.
She let it slip from her hand, falling to her chest, before she started walking around. It was sort of her fault for everything, considering that she played with the key a lot, thinking that it was only a toy, and she could never imagine something like this happening.
BOOM!
The sudden explosion from behind her snapped her from her thoughts, her eyes widening. She turned her head back, craning her head slightly as screaming people darted past her. Her eyes widened, noticing a sixteen year old girl standing in the side walk; short black hair with blood red streaks hung around a heart shaped face, blood red eyes emotionless and were surrounded with black eyeliner, the girl's lips were painted a shimmering black, and the girl was wearing tight black pants and wearing a black shirt with a red scorpion in the center that showed her midriff, her stomach and bare arms covered by fish nets.
Several moments passed and the girl remained still, before she made her way towards Sari, her black, steal toed boots making soft thuds on the sidewalk as the girl made her ways towards her.
I've seen her on television.
Sari's eyes widened in panic, remember an emergency report on the news stating that this girl had escaped from a mass facility that held villains with super powers just that morning.
What was her name again?
Sari tensed when the older girl stopped in front of her. Sari trembled, eyes wide watching as the villainess stared blankly at her. The girl parted her lips, and a cold monotone cut through the air, "You are the daughter of Glimmering Hope and Isac Sumdac, correct?"
Glimmering Hope?
"Isac Sumdac is my dad," her voice quavered, unsure of what to say about Glimmering Hope. The girl nodded, before blood red eyes stared into hers.
"Then-" the girl held her hands out, wide, two glowing black orbs formed in her hands as red eyes glowed black, "I shall avenge my mother's wrongful death."
Just as that was said, several camera bots appeared, floating above their heads.
-
Bee was darting between car after car, making his way to his towards the base, sharing the bit of info to Optimus, "... And that's the whole story Boss Bot. I wasn't there to see what happened so other than what I told ya, I'm not sure what happened."
Bee screeched to a halt the moment he finished that last word, transforming and inside the base. The sound of Steve Irwin's thick accent filled the base, as he glanced over towards Prowl, who was sitting silently, watching as the Crocodile Hunter held a seat turtle in his grasp, the man talking excitedly about it, and how to conserve it. Bee rolled his optics, before making his way towards Optimus, who was standing there slightly surprised about the information that Bumblebee hand given him and by the fact the yellow bot had arrived so soon.
Shaking his head slightly, the Boss Bot sighed, "Bumblebee, could you explain that to me again, you were talking so fast that I couldn't understand what you were saying."
Bee slouched at Optimus's words, before opening his mouth to speak.
-"We interrupt the Crocodile Hunter Marathon for this special News Bulletin."-
Prowl shook his head, sitting up slightly. Optimus and Bee glanced at the television.
"The world known villainess that had escaped her prison cell last night, has been spotted in downtown Detroit. What you're about to see is LIVE coverage from the camera bots."
The screen flickered slightly, and a loud shriek echoed through the speakers. Bee and the other two bots in the room tensed slightly as two images played across the screen. One they had seen on the news the night prior.
-Flashback-
"Uh, Optimus, I think you should see this," Prowl peered at the television screen, putting the volume up.
"Red Scorpion, daughter of world class villains, Dr. Malginus and Black Scorpion, has escaped from the Villain Correction Facility after attempting to flatten several major cities throughout the planet and plotting the murder of anyone related to Glimmering Hope, one of the greatest heroines to ever set foot in the Justice Force's hallway of greatness. Both Glimmering Hope and Black Scorpion died seven years ago, when the once called hero of New York City, Oroku Saki…"
The tv was muted, and Prowl turned, staring at his comrades in silence. The eerie quiet was suddenly broken by the yellow bot.
"Glimmering what, and Black who??" Bumblebee asked in confusion, "Human names keep getting weirder-ow!"
"They're super hero names Bumblebee," Prowl told him after smacking the yellow bot in the back of the head, "hero's just don't go wondering around using there real names, it'd make it easier for arch villains to locate them when they're acting like normal people," Bumblebee was about to retort to that slap in the back of his head he got, when Optimus stepped up.
"That's not important right now," he began, "that girl is out there somewhere, no doubt causing havoc, and we have to stop her." Bumblebee and Prowl glanced at each other, before nodding.
-End Flashback-
The shriek sounded a second time, the familiar chord ringing through audio receptors loud a clear. Bee's optic's widened, before he stared wide eyed at the screen as the now teenaged Sari was running away from the villainess, black orbs being thrown at her, with sharp, unfeeling movements.
Primus, no!
"Bumblebee, is anything wrong?" Optimus Prime asked causiously as a look of absolute horror crossed the smaller Autobot's features.
But…his question seemed to go unheard when Bumblebee shouted directly afterwards, "SLAG IT! Sari, I knew I should have followed you! If I knew that some crazed FREAK would be after you!"
"Bumblebee what are you-"
The yellow bot transformed, before speeding out of the base. Prowl and Optimus glanced at each other, serious looks on their features.

Sari found it harder the breath as she ran faster and faster, her legs pumping as the sound of explosions surrounded her. The streets were empty, no man or robot were there blocking her way as she fled from the psychotic girl behind her.
A loud cry escaped her as she felt a blast at her heels and she flew forward, skidding across the pavement. She winced at the burning cuts on her arms as she turned to her back, staring wide eyed at the emo girl as a eerie shadow of fear overwhelmed her. Her body tremled slightly as glowing black eyes glared down at her.
"What did I ever do to you!?"
She had slipped, a horrid mistake. She knew villains all to well, but she couldn't help but find herself asking. Why was she the target? Was she just out to kill her because of her mother's demise?
The girl stared at her quietly, a glowing black orb in her hands. A shiver ran down Sari's spine as the older girl tensed her hand, causing the orb to wiggle, and the glowing to brighten. Black lips were whispering something that she couldn't understand, before the toneless voice began speaking, "Your mother killed mine, so I shall kill you. An eye for an eye. A life for a life."
Sari's eyes widened as the girl's fist clenched, the orb shivering as it began to fill with more power, soon enough the emo's body was illuminated by darkness, and a voice shrieked inside of Sari's mind.
REVENGE IS MINE!
Sari clenched her eyes shut, and she crossed her arms in front of her face.
This is it, I'm dead. I never even been to New York City, or had the chance meet a movie star or anything like that!
Before the blast was shot at her, Sari let out a squeak when she suddenly felt strong arms wrap around her, and found herself in the air. Her eyes snapped open, and she stared in the dark and masked face of a handsome teenaged hero. A soft blush crossed her features, as the loud explosion sounded below.
-
Sari…trouble…
Those two words rang through the yellow bot's mind as he sped towards the downtown area, unaware of the camera bots flying above him. They were no concern to him, and showing off wasn't his top priority.
Red Scorpion…
He found himself screeching to a halt, transforming, and sprinting realizing he was getting closer and closer. He felt a slight ache in his spark, hoping that he wasn't too late.
Explosion after explosion echoed off buildings of stone as he heard the rumbling footsteps of his feet. He hadn't realized that Optimus and Prowl were speeding in their vehicle modes directly behind him.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The ground trembled at the explosion, and cerulean blue optics widened. Bee found himself running faster, his vocal receptors strained as he screamed, "SARI!"
Turning a corner quickly, terror struck his features at the sight before him.
Red Scorpian stood her back to him, her arms held out in front of her, and a gaping hole showed the sewers below, the sound of broken pipes rushing water and waste to the spot added an eerie song to the scene.
Arms dropped limply, and a cold monotone filled the air, "Mother, I have avenged you."
Bee found his hands clenching, his horrified expression fading to one of total rage. He glared at the emo girl, his stingers appearing, charging up.
Just when Bee was about to aim at the girl, Prowl and Optimus transformed behind him; Optimus shouted, "Bumblebee, don't harm the human!"
Just as that was shouted the girl turned. Her void stare caused the three bots to stand alert, before the toneless voice spoke, "What do you want?"
Just as Bumblebee was about to shout something, a chunk of a building went flying towards the girl.
Guess Bumblebee learned something important! NEVER call a girl old! Who is Red Scorpion? Why does she want to kill Sari? To find out, you'll have to stay tuned! Please R&R, and don't forget to give credit to my BFF Randomlass!
