*clears throat* Sorry about the wait everyone! My bff and I have been having a little trouble. So, to make up for it, here's chapter 3!
Last time
Just as Bumblebee was about to shout something, a chunk of a building went flying towards the girl.
Now
The three Autobots gaped slightly when the girl jumped and flipped over the flying object. Blank red eyes looked up as a voice shouted from above, "Misty! You were showing so much promise, what the heck happened!?"
The three Autobots looked up to see a teenaged super hero clad in silver and light green standing there. Bee's optics widened seeing Sari grasping to the hero's arm as if her life depended on it. The three pairs of optics turned when the emo girl began to speak, "I do not wish to become a hero, Silver Knight. Why can you not see past the lies the Silver Century has been telling you? I cannot change what I am, and I don't want to change either. Our families shall always be enemies no matter how hard you try to change that," she paused, "it's quite pathetic, if I say so."
"I thought you had given up your revenge!" the hero cried, "You know that killing one of Glimmering Hope's loved ones won't bring your mother back! An eye for an eye isn't lawful anymore! Misty, you need help!"
Red eyes stayed blank, "You keep on calling me by that name, why?"
"Because, that's your true name!"
As those words were said, the Red Scorpion's mouth twitched, an appearance of rage crossing her once blank features, "NO!" her shriek echoed loudly, "I AM RED SCORPION! SERVANT TO LORD SHREDDER AND MISTRESS KARAI! ALL YOU SAY ARE LIES!"
Optimus watched as the Red Scorpion's body tensed. When the leader first laid his optics on her, he realized that she was far more dangerous then she appeared. He could feel his spark reacting to her rage.
"YOU BOTH WILL DIE THIS DAY, AND I WILL MAKE SURE YOU BOTH STAY DEAD!"
Optimus suddenly glanced at Bumblebee, the sound of his stingers charging made him open his mouth to stop Bee from harming the human, only to be drowned out when the yellow bot shouted, "YOU put one scratch on her, you're DEAD organic!"
"Bumblebee?" Optimus and Prowl glanced at each other a look of shock crossing their features.
"LOOK OUT!"
Bee blinked, hearing Sari's cry, before his optics widened as a black orb of energy went flying towards him.
"BUMBLEBEE, MOVE!" Optimus cried out.
The three Autobots dodged a black orb as it flew towards them; causing it to hit a building in there place, blowing it into pieces. Shortly after that orb made contact with the building, a second one was aimed at Sari and the teen hero.
Sari's eyes widened and she let out a sudden squeak when the hero scooped her up, and jumped off the building.
Red Scorpion collapsed, just as Silver Knight landed next to Optimus with Sari still in his arms. A bright light suddenly illuminated the area, causing Sari's eyes to widen.
"What in the-"
A dark figure in a metal suit stepped from the light, and the figure stood before the unconscious villain, a look of disappointment on his features. A menacing voice cut through the thick silence, "She still has not gained control over her childish tantrums," the figure shook his head negatively, before bending over and scooping her up in a gentle embrace, "She still has so much to learn."
The man in the metal suit turned to the Autobots and young hero, his red eyes narrowed, "It surprises me that you have gotten here so quickly boy, but it doesn't matter, for now." His eyes narrowed more, "You can protect Glimmering Hope's child for as long as you please, but trust me when I say this: I will destroy all of my enemies. Miss Sumdac will be the first of all the tragedies to befall to the Justice Force."
Silver Knight was about to shout something when the man turned, carrying Red Scorpion, walking into the light and disappearing.
The hero narrowed his eyes, "Dang you Shredder."
Several moments had passed, and Bumblebee had turned to glower at the hero that still hadn't put Sari down. He pointed at him, "Hey! You can put her down now!"
Sari turned her gaze to Bee, then she glanced at the Silver Knight. The two stared at each other, realizing that he was cradling her in a bridal style, making a soft blush crossing their features before she basically started wiggling to be put down. The moment the hero set her down on the ground, the pair couldn't look at each other in the eye.
"Excuse me miss," Sari blinked, looking up at Optimus, "do you mind telling us who you are?" Prowl nodded slightly, staring curiously at her. Sari slouched, blowing a few strands of hair from her eyes, before reaching into her shirt, pulling out the key.
"Is that a good enough answer?" she asked.
Prowl and Optimus blinked at the key, unsure of what to say at first. At first glance it looked like any ordinary key, but the more they stared at it, the more they realized…
"SARI!?"
She dropped the key, sending them a wicked grin, "Bingo," she paused, "at least you two didn't call me old." She glared at Bee slightly, causing the yellow bot to tense.
"I SAID I WAS SORRY! WHAT IN THE SLAG DO I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE YOU LET THAT GO!?"
Sari inwardly smirked, staring at Bee for several seconds, as if she was in a thoughtful manner. In reality, she had forgiven him before Red Scorpion had attacked her, in hopes of destroying her. After several seconds she stated, "I forgive you."
Bee stared at her, with a 'I-can't-believe-you' look, making her smirk outwardly. She reached up, placing both hands behind her head. She was about to say something when all of the sudden the hero's arm snapped out, his hand wrapping around her wrist gently. She turned her head, giving him a childish look, as dark eyes scanned over her now outstretched arm.
"You need to get your arms looked at," a finger was pressed gently on a scratch causing Sari to wince some. A gentle smile crossed the young hero's lips, "I could take you home, if you need me too, Miss Sumdac."
H-he knows my name...A scarlet blush crossed Sari's cheeks as she stared into the Silver Knight's masked eyes. She didn't notice the look of rage that had crossed Bumblebee's features; the yellow bot was about to say something when, "Th-Thanks, S-Silver Kn-Knight."
Why do I feel all tingly inside all of a sudden?
Silver Knight smiled, before turning his gaze towards Optimus Prime, "I'll take her home safely, so none of you have to worry about her." Optimus nodded, unsure of how to react when the young hero carefully picked up Sari bridal style and flew off.
"OPTIMUS! You just let that guy take her home!" The leader glanced at Bumblebee at the outburst, a slightly confused look on his features.
"He saved her Bumblebee, I think that would make him trustworthy enough to take her home," the reply made the yellow bot glare at the leader with a cold look in his optics. Prowl, carefully studied Bee, trying to read into his emotions.
"Why are you getting so worked up over this, Bumblebee?" the quiet Autobot meant for it only to be a rhetorical question, unfortunately, the respond was spontaneous and obvious on how Bumblebee felt about the new face in Detroit.
"Are you saying that I'm jealous of that kid because I'm not jealous of that kid! I mean, come on, look at me, I'm so much cooler then him!" Bee puffed out his chest, his optics narrowing at the ninja bot.
"I never said you were jealous." said ninja bot retorted with an amused look on his features.
Staring at Prowl for a few seconds, and realizing what he just said, Bumblebee gulped his face heating up. He blinked a few times, trying to figure a way to escape from Prowl and Prime's penetrating gazes, "I…uh…forgot! I gotta go get that thing for Bulkhead…because he's too busy with Ratchet! So, I'm just going to get the thing and head back to the base while you two just…umm…clean up."
"Bumblebee-" the little yellow 'bot transformed and sped off before Optimus prime could stop him.
Prowl turned his gaze towards Optimus, murmuring, "Optimus?"
The Autobot turned his gaze to his friend, before he let out a sigh, "I guess we should get to work then, Prowl."
"Excuse me."
Both bots blinked, before looking in the direction of an undamaged sector of the street. A woman stood there, her long brown hair pulled up neatly in a bun with tiny wisps of it hanging in front of worried brown eyes.
"May we help you miss?" Optimus asked, plugging into hero mode.
"I'm looking for Silver Knight."
Who is this strange woman? Is she friend or foe? How does she know the Silver Knight? Is Sari starting to feel emotions towards the new hero in town? Will Bumblebee EVER learn to keep his mouth shut? To find out, you'll have to stay tuned, and don't forget to read and review!
