Disclaimer: I own none of the Transformers Prime/Beast Hunters things... None of it... Just my characters, Taylor, Jacobs, Sean, Jessy and his crew.
Quick Note: Reading over these chapters I apologise about my spelling in some cases, these chapters take some brain power and finishing them at like eleven at night is not good for me. I need sleep! But hey as soon as I finish these chapters I get 'em straight up so you, the audience can read my imagination at its best. Thank you for reading up to here so far I really enjoy seeing that bar of viewers and visitors spike every time I put something up. :)
Summary: So Taylor's been chucked into a pen, but whose pen is it?, c'mon you should know by now, there's only one known live Predacon and Taylor is in a room with him, HIS room. Taylor still needs to see Shockwave and get her head examined. She hides a secret but will she tell Knock Out? and Megatron ventures into Taylor's head and finds out how it like to be human Enjoy.
Holy crap! Slumping even further down the wall I felt even more threatened by this thing than Megatron c'mon Taylor pull yourself together you're needed, they wouldn't just thrown you in here if this thing didn't have any self-control and plus it won't eat me, as far as I know there were no vending machines that we passed. Concentrate on the matter in hand you stupid mare! So I quickly thought about what some pack animals do to earn respect, hey my favourite animal travels in a pack, A Wolf not sure if it'd stand up against a mechanical animal though. I growled loud enough so the thing could hear me, other alternative would be to look into its eyes and hope for the best.
"Hardly frightened by you mate" I lied, suddenly dim lights fluttered and revealed a massive dragon! Glowing yellow eyes locked on mine "You may be a myth but hell I can stand up to you" I stopped my legs from shaking and stood up, walking towards the beast I see its chest glow red don't dragons chests glow red when their about to... I couldn't finish off my thinking and rolled away just in time to avoid the blaze. "Watch the confined space mate!, nearly singed my eyebrows" I cautiously stepped around it to see the full length of the beast, it was huge. Just fancy some marshmallows or a BBQ, god enough with food you're gonna make your self hungry pet. "Hey dragon can we just not try and kill each other, Shockwave kind of needs me alive and kicking" I said and the thing stopped in its tracks. It transformed, now from what Knock Out told me he said Predacons were incapable of transforming into robot form, this guy wasn't a normal Predacon.
"It is Predaking to you human, but I admire your bravery" he grumbled, Predaking sat down in his robot form and was visibly too big for this room, animal cruelty if you ask me "And if you dare to speak of my transforming capabilities and intelligence, I will crush your puny body into mush" he continued
"So they don't know you can transform? But you tell them when your ready, that's all that counts" I kept my distance from Predaking, I never knew I could make friends this easily.
"Do not lecture me human. What do you know of Shockwave?" he asked
"You have such a spilt personality, decide on what you're going to be like... Fine... I know next to nothing about Shockwave" I sat down next to Predaking he just glared at me, personal space? Okay I'll shift "You've got fitting name, no doubt you are a king with an accent like that" I smiled, too far Taylor, back off a bit, not very talkative is he.
"Cease your din human" he growled looking at me I just hung my head and huffed in pure sadness the total fact I was bored out of my skull. Feeling around my pockets to see if I had anything to keep my from going crazy I found my Ipod, yay! Dr Dre headphones with rock music and some new stuff on, what more do I need to keep myself occupied and a bar of chocolate, I'll eat that later when I'm hungry. Placing one headphone in I still wanted to listen to any tales that Predaking might utter. Good job I had at least a couple of hours worth of songs on my Ipod and a couple of films to watch.
"Any stories you want to tell? Anything you want to ask me?" I queried "I'll shut up If you tell me a tale" I smiled, I got no answer from the beast machine and continued to listen to my music for at least two hours, Predaking moved from the wall and transformed back into his supposed unintelligent beast form. A couple of minutes later I got to my favourite song then Knock Out emerged at the door, I hopped up and ran towards the open door before looking back at Predaking, he sort of made a whimpering noise as if he was saying 'Don't tell anyone our little secret' okay Predaking I promise I won't.
"I expected to see remains of you splattered on the walls" Knock Out joked "How did you tame it?" He abided
"Lets just say I have a way with animals" I smiled getting into the driver's side this time "Letting me drive?" I asked "Tell me when where I am going" a course popped up on the sat nav I studied it "That's a simple trip, but If I do blast it you'll get in serious trouble" I tapped the steering wheel.
"Ah who cares, It's not to far anyways" He said, strapping myself in and hearing Knock Out's engine roar I got pumped for a race that was just class, flat flooring, hardly no one around.
"Hey I care if you get scraped, but y'know slow drive maybe" I replied, aw I don't like going slow in a car that is meant to go flying, but Knock Out being an a 'automobile enthusiast' he didn't take slow for an answer, he floored it to the end of the junction and I instinctively hand brake turned and grabbed the wheel, we shot through the conveniently sized hallways, Knock Out chuckled as we hit the highest gear, the grip on his tires were fantastic on the smooth surface of the metal flooring, he began lowering in speed as we neared reaching our destination.
"Race is over Taylor" he said reluctantly "This is where I will hand you over to Shockwave, but don't worry I'll be in the room watching if you're okay" I got out of Knock Out, he transformed and opened up the lab door, but as soon as the door opened we were faced with someone other than Shockwave. It was Soundwave. Standing absolutely still with a jar of what seemed to be dark energon, Soundwave looked at Knock Out, his face, just a screen and then replaying footage from the ships hallways of a red car shooting down to the lab, he held up the jar of energon to Knock Outs head height this was a 'I won't tell if you don't' moment between Knock Out and Soundwave, he then just walked idly Passed me and Knock Out and disappeared round the corner.
"Creepy" I shuddered, that guy was just ugggh the strong silent type.
"C'mon then" Knock Out ushered me into the lab, I looked around seeing synth en, and fossils of some sort, I was just struck from amazement, I don't just like cars I take a liking towards science too. There were loads equipment spread out on tables, hell I felt like I was going to be dissected. Then seeing the massive purple figure hunched over a computer, now I was getting a tad bit frightened. No windows to gaze out of, only bland walls that really needed a lick of paint, Knock Out was right these Decepticons didn't have that exceptional sense of style that he did.
"Ah, So my patient has arrived" Shockwave said, that voice of a highly achieving professor hellbent on making horrifying creations in order to stop the Autobots once and for all. Gulp this was beginning to be all too real for my liking. "At least she's here to help, humans are too little and fiddley for my hands" the professor pointed as me and Knock Out cast our eyes to a small mech probably just a bit taller than me.
"I wasn't aware you had a carrier Minicon with you proffesor?" Knock Out asked
"She is not mine, that doctor is Laserbeak" Shockwave continued, of course it had to be a her, and she's not going to like me after I had threatened her
"Interesting I didn't even know it... I mean she could Transform. Did you tinker with her circuits again prof" Knock Out said, I couldn't help but laugh, it sounded boarder on sexual, Knock Out shock his head and smiled.
"No I did not. Soundwave just droped her off for a minor repair, just some fractures in her wing. I managed to fix it before she became sentient and thanked me" he mused "Laserbeak, if you don't mind seeing our guest to the table" she emerged and walked around me, probably scanning me. Silent. Just like her counterpart. Looking at her, she had a face unlike her partner, deep purple eyes. Glaring. She grabbed my wrist softly and guided me to a convenient little chair, like one of those you get at the dentists. She gestured for me to sit down, I did. She walked back to a small table and began constructing something, I put my concentration back on Knock Out.
"You guys have dreams right?" I asked, Knock Out nodded "Well just to give you some heads up, I have pretty explicit dreams..." I mumbled the rest of my sentence but Knock Out didn't follow the white rabbit and ask what I said. I can't tell him who else I met, he'd be really upset with me, I'll just say it, no doubt they'll have a monitoring station to see what's going on. Don't day-dream either! Not the time nor the place.
"Who's doing this with me? 'cus I'm really worried on what they'll be seeing" I said worryingly as Laserbeak strapped my arms and legs down
"Something you think you should tell me? apart from dreams you've had about me" he smirked
"How'd you guess? But I've got a great imagination, you were human... The things we did... The thing I need to tell you... Just come here I can't say it out loud" Knock Out knelt and looked at me waiting for what I was going to say "I've met an Autobot" I whispered "And he's as equally impressive as you" you did it Taylor, you single-handedly signed your death certificate
"who?" He eagerly asked
"Erm... Let me think... Wheeljack, that's his name" I murmured, another good-looking bot, full of scars and war stories, ran into him the same way I did Knock Out, a gleaming sports car just sitting there, but I felt more open with him than with KO. Hell I'd been lying to Knock Out all along, yeah I was a car thief but I was only looking for a part-time job while I was on leave. Leave from the military. Being a twenty-five year old lass with no guy to like my war tales and sure as hell no guy to put up with my flirtatious attitude, no-nonsense and the fact that I could easily beat any man into submission. Huff what you doing with your life Taylor, choose one side, remain here and steal cars for the rest of your life and ditch the military or go with Wheeljack and the rest of the goodies and stay on the righteous path. "I'm sorry Knock Out, I really am" I felt tears form in my eyes but just transformed it into anger. I always did.
"I know you are" Knock Out tried his best to comfort me, I tried to reach for his hand and let him know it was all going to be alright, but I just couldn't reach, I got heavily agitated and fidgeted under the restraints that Laserbeak had kept me in. She came back with a strange contraption, looked like a circular spider, she placed it on my shoulder and it came alive, its metal legs crawled on the back of my neck, up towards the base of my skull, this is not going so well, its gonna hurt too, that's what you get for rolling with a doctor Taylor. I then felt searing pain, that spider had punctured the back of my head, I cried out in pain, Knock Out closed his eyes, vocalised a sigh and got up towards the main terminal. The pain was getting nigh on unbearable, was this the life I was going to lead? A life of deceit?
"Kno...knock... Knock Out... Ugh..." I struggled to get words out my mouth, it felt like someone was drilling into my head "Aaahhh!" I screamed
"Professor are you sure this is going to work?" Knock Out was becoming too over caring for the Decepticons liking.
"I assure you doctor your pretty little human will survive this procedure" Megatron reassured a uneasy carer, when the hell did he come here?
"She's in excruciating pain lord Megatron! Spare her!" Knock Out shouted, why did you do that in front of your superior Knock Out, you crazy son of a gun
"Silence!... Doctor I do not wish to dismantle my much needed practitioner, And if I needn't remind you, you are a Decepticon!" Megatron bellowed, Knock Out shrunk under the frame of his lord.
"Hey!... Megatron... Your fight's... Ugh... With me,... Not... My knock Out..." Oww that hurt, don't speak save yourself. Shut up! You're no puny human your a gladiator, a fighter, always have been and always will be! "Come on then! Come... And take a holiday... In my mind... Ahh! See... What's it's like... To.. Ugh.. Be human" I can't hold on, not for long, don't you dare go under Taylor!
"Ha, she's a fighter" Megatron stated and lay on one of the other bigger table/chair things "I might even let you venture into my mind, to see what your pitiful world is like in my eyes" I tried to recover but something clicked in my head, a lead of some sort attached to a larger adapter then. Darkness. I was on the floor in a limbo of darkness, getting up and feeling the back of my head, the spider was out of my head.
"Everything in this program is what has happened, your memories, your secrets, no lies can be told without you thinking of what really happened and I will find out" Megatron appeared and stepped towards me, I began to laugh "What do you find amusing human?" He questioned
"You took a bad move, I'm best at mind games, I can't be bothered to totter on, find out what you need and get out. Or else" I smirked, what are you going to disgust him out of your head or scare him out? Megatron lowly chuckled.
"I can hear your thoughts Taylor. Lets see what you were before you met your doctor" the place flashed, Afghanistan, camp Bastion.
"Holy crap!" I looked around, it was as if I was there the sand spinning up on my face, hot sun, it felt a lot better in comfy attire rather than that heavy back pack and a Kevlar vest. I smiled and looked at my team as I gave them the pep talk, it was a suicide mission, for the best of the best of the British army. I almost forgot that Megatron was beside me, but he spoke up.
"How was this significant to you Taylor?" He asked, as he looked at me.
"Suicide run, gone... Bad. Very." I said reluctantly "Timmy, Josh, Bear, Scars and Ridges... My team..."
"They disobeyed orders I presume?" Megatron scanned the horizon
"Timmy did, I was on a roof..." The setting instantly changed and I saw myself lying on the sniper spot where it all kicked off "the lads followed him into that compound and..." I was interrupted by my own loud shouting onto the mic, then followed to me going into that place alone, getting our man and coming out. Alone. "My lads would of survived if I had took the chance to join them on the breech" I said sadly
"After you friends died you life went down hill no?" We were put back into the darkroom "You were awarded for bravery, but you were forced onto bereavement leave they were friends it wasn't right."
"I wanted to stay on, keep me occupied but they wouldn't let me on the plane going back. Was foaming like but meh. Come on lord Megatron find you energon mine and get out of my head" I didn't like talking about fallen hero's
"No... I want to know what you think of Knock Out?" He replied No no you really don't want to, gotta been a mild one somewhere in my head, Taylor you're hopeless he can hear you "Indeed I can"
(On the outside of their heads, Knock Out and Shockwave are watching the screen of what's going on Knock Out just smiled and Shockwaves looks at him "You're glitched if you're going to enjoy watching yourself integrate with a human" Shockwave shuddered and walked back to his terminal
"Lets see what you think I'd look like if I was human then Taylor" Knock Out smirked)
Back in this head of mine I looked literally in the lightest and non smutty part of my brain, what am I talking about It's like the tiniest part of my brain that's very rarely used. The room flashed and I closed my eyes, hopefully nothing serious was going to happen, meep. Opening my eyes slowly I realised It was at my training ground, the local underground UFC, I just see myself training. Alone. As always. The place was proper clarty with a make shift octagon and plenty of punch bags, a rat would be so happy to live here, but it was made in an abandoned cathedral, but Megatron slouched and sat down. good thing was this place actually existed so I never made up places in my dreams.
"See you Taylor" a friend walked out of the reception and that was when I was truly alone, I was furiously punching and kicking a poor dummy, I stopped and took a drink out of my water bottle, I could spend hours here in the real world. Parking my arse on the opposite seat of where my dream self was sitting she looked around the cathedral and stared at the coloured window which depicted St. George slaying the dragon.
"This place needs lighting up a lot" She said
"Well that's what I'm here for" a voice said, I tracked my eyes towards the door, a medium heighted man stood in the doorway but the light wasn't on him, he stepped out towards my dream self and hugged her. He was red headed, no not ginger. RED. Blue dark jeans, red and white leather jacket cut off at the shoulders with a black top underneath and a pair of pilot glasses placed in his pocket, fiery Purple tattoos running up his arms, a Decepticon tat on his right shoulder, a couple of ear rings and even wearing my favourite fingerless black gloves, ooh and those devious red eyes of his.
(Knock Out was shocked "Hello human me... you were right Taylor you do have quite an imagination" he talked to himself as he continued to watch the screen.
"Oh shut your vocaliser you self centred automobile" Shockwave retorted as he continued to check the vitals of his lord and master)
"Phew, did I dream this? I feel left out now, thanks Megatron" I still kept my eyes fixed on this human version of Knock Out, just perfect, Megs didn't answer why are you even letting this happen. End it if you don't want to see humans doing what they do best.
"I'm letting you enjoy yourself before you return to the real world. That spider in your head. It will eventually lead to your demise" Megatron read my mind again
"I'm already dead anyway, I let Knock Out down and I can't do that to friends" I sat and watched as my dream self laughed away at Knock outs jokes.
"You are a funny one K. Now if your up for it, I'll give you a sparring match" She said
"Fine. Fine. But don't complain to me when I hurt you" Knock outs human form replied
"Haway then, no time like the present" She waited as he too. Of his jacket and proceeded to remove his black top, revealing a stunning set of abs. She and I whistled at the same time. "Now, I can't remember the last time you got your top off?" She continued
"You're set of rules went out the window? What happened to not getting distracted?" He said as he warmed up
"They went out the window the first time you bedded me mate" she smiled, they both sparred but the hits became heavier and heavier and eventually Knock Out knocked my self and she ended up against the wall, with Knock Out following, he placed his hands either side of her head and they began kissing. I scoffed. Watching this made me wish Knock Out was human, If he was as good as I imagined. It would be just Prime.
"How about we go home, grab a take away, then you know we can continue this in the appropriate place. Sound good?" He smirked
"Sounds like a plan K" I and her said simultaneously, I remembered, this was a two parter dream thankfully that was stored in the darker side of my head, I don't think you'll want to venture there especially after I had two hours of being alone, left to think after our initial meeting, you and Starscream would make a perfect couple. I smiled to myself.
"You are a sick human" Megatron sighed "Now where is this secret energon mine of yours?" He asked
"well...aghh... What the hell... Agh" pain began crawling back and then we were back in the dark room then Megatron began groaning and holding his head, the groan turned into a growl.
"Shockwave please interpret what is going on" he growled, the energon mine always stumped me, but I was told it was a special place for my mam and dad, I wasn't born in a hospital, this is why it was my place of solace, I felt at peace, I was born there, these Decepticons had no right to desecrate it. I know you'd think I would have been a still born because of the raw energy that the energon was emitting but I'm a fighter, came out kicking and screaming, got an immunity to it. I was in fact that special. I never liked thinking of it, I got flashes of my time I spent there. I guess the link was messing with Megatrons mind and gave him the flashes too. With my dad, breaking up with my first boyfriend, exam stress, and all the other things that bothered me, I must have spent half my life there.
"Calm it Megatron, It's just flashbacks nothing serious. Let me out of here, I'll show Knock Out and I'll make sure he reports back it's location" then like that we were unplugged and the pain stopped.
"I tweaked with the spider programming while she was under, she will live as normal" Shockwave said
"Yes! No can I please get off of this seat!" I shouted, Knock Out smiled and clicked a button which released my restraints, and ran straight for Knock Out's foot and hugged him as much as I could, he knelt and I grabbed his hand.
"You know we can't stay together... C'mon I'll tell it to the rest later" Knock Out walked towards the door as I followed
"Oh and Knock Out hand Taylor over to Soundwave once your finished and I mean it this time" Megatron commanded
"Yes my liege" he said humbly
"Sssss ow" I felt the back of my head, I felt like Neo from the matrix film, having a strange circular metallic hole on the back of my head "How come at the end of the day I'm not dead and I've made friends with the evilest enemies in the entire cosmos"
"We've never had much conversation with your race, guess everyone can change" Knock Out transformed and hoped in, I didn't put my seat belt on this time I just hugged my legs and felt like my head was going to explode. "I'm taking you back to my quarters, you need to rest"
"Okay then" well I was happy to be back in the real world
"Do you think you nailed my human side? I mean I was pretty impressed by how you gave me a human form" He said surprisingly
"Ha, Oh yeah you are a canny handsome guy. Ah spoke a double entendre there mate, remind me if we cross paths again I'll get in that Cortical Physic Patch with you and show you the other part of that dream" I was coming round from my headache
"Other part? I don't follow" Knock Out asked
"The part where you say 'How about we go home, grab a take away, then you know we can continue this in the appropriate place'... You get the picture" I smiled
"Oh wow" Knock Out transformed as he opened up his door, I walked in and noticed two beds and a picture of Knock Out and Breakdown. Aaw man this is the time when I wish I could be a mech, comfort him and all, nah. Stomach quit rumbling.
"Ooo chocolate" I went in my pocket and pulled out my chocolate bar, it was half melted, eating it thank god i'd been in the army, I can go a couple of days without food. finishing the bar I shoved the wrapper back in my pocket.
"I'm going to miss you, you know that right?" Knock Out helped me onto his bed as he sat down beside me "Come here" I climbed up on his arm and sat on shoulder.
"Me too" I kissed his face plate and smiled "Will you be okay if I go off with Wheeljack?" God I sound like I'm breaking up with a boyfriend
"You'll be safer with him, and in fact you should go with him, I can't protect you as good as he could, here" Knock Out got out something out of his nearby draw, It looked like a watch "I had it down sized for you, It's a comm link. So if you ever need anything, call me" Now he looked like he was going to cry
"Class" I put it on, there was a knock at the door
"Wait one Soundwave!" He shouted, those red eyes screaming please don't go! Knock Out set me back on the floor
"Hey, Knock Out..." I asked, he looked distant again, just like the first time.
"Hum... Yeah..." He looked at me.
"I've never loved anyone as much as you. Love you" I smiled as Knock Out opened the door, ugg now I've got to go with Soundwave
"Goodbye... My Taylor" Knock Out sniffed, he just then closed the door, now I'm heart broken, following Soundwave a little, he opened a space bridge
"See you DJ" I walked through the portal and as soon as I got out, I was back home the garage. "Now what do I do..."
Finish
Awwww Knock Out *cries* well that's that story finished, and next time you'll get a different story of Taylor running into Wheeljack. I have to apologise I dabbled on a lot their, I might, possibly, could add an extra chapter titled curiosity killed the cat, were Megs goes into the unknown and starts up what Taylor was thinking about what him and Screamer were doing.
I feel like Knock Out needed a human side, my perfect lad. *tries not to drool over computer* but Jackie awww
"Shut up writer!" Taylor shouted "End it already! I'm goosed! I need sleep!"
Okay sweet dreams pet
"Don't worry about that Writer I sure will" she smirked.
Finish (no really!)
