Thank you all for reviewing! Here's the next chappie, enjoy.
She swallowed a lump down her throat. "Are we in trouble now…?" They were quit far from headquarters.
Motormaster contacted Prime and his daring voice sounded through the com-link. "Get your wheels off of my road, Prime! Make way for the real King of the Road!"
"You're not gonna do that, right?" Alyx checked.
"Certainly not, keep up the speed," Prime said determined.
Both rigs speeded towards each other real fast, both followed by a large cloud of dust and sand.
"Will he turn away?" Alyx wanted to know.
"Don't bet on it."
"Will you?" She could guess his answer.
"Nope!"
She nodded. That was what she's expected.
"Don't worry, there's no way he can beat me on this. He's tried before and failed. Buckle up and hang on! I'll take over now!"
She let go of the wheel, took her feet of off the pedals and quickly buckled up. There was just enough time for her to brace for impact.
Prime hit his opponent more to the left than head on so the force of the impact rammed him backwards and to the side at the same time. His trailer swung across the road, out of control and Alyx saw it coming right at her.
But before she had time to scream Prime rammed it out of his way. Motormaster crashed of off the road and tumbled over several times. There was flying wreckage everywhere.
"Yeah!!" Alyx cheered.
Behind Motormaster drove a dark Ferrari (Wildrider) that tried to get out of his way but there was no way he possibly could and got crushed and stuck below Primes front-fender.
That didn't slow him down one bit and the squeaking of metal and lot's of sparks started to annoy Prime quickly.
"Hold on!" He said and transformed at full speed, grabbing Alyx with one hand, his rifle in the other. With one foot he launched himself off of the road, leaving a wrecked Wildrider behind. He landed right on top of the formula one car and flattened him even more than he already was.
The other two he blasted of off the roads with his laser rifle, transformed back again, having Alyx landing safely back into the drivers seat.
"Wooow…" she was in shock for a moment. "That… was amazing…"
She hadn't seen him do anything like that before. Actually Prime kept her away from most battles for her own safety.
"Thanks," Prime said. "Are you alright?"
She nodded. "Yeah…" she remodelled her hair, cause it was messed up by the wind that blew around her as Prime had transformed, jumped and transformed back again. Her heart was almost pounding right out of her chest.
Prime slowed down for a while and drove off of the main-road. He knew a nice quiet lake in a gorgeous setting around here – one of his favourite places to go when he needed some quiet time for himself - where he could let her come to her senses again. She was trembling all over… there was no way she could hide that cause he felt it right through the seat.
He let her get out close to the water and transformed back to robot mode.
"That water looks amazing! So clear…" She took of her shoes and socks and sat down at the bank with her feet in the water. "You should try that, it's very relaxing."
He sat down next to her and put his feet in the water. "I do prefer magma or something like that…"
When her nerves finally stopped her body from shaking, she looked up at him for a while, studying him.
"Aren't you even damaged a bit?" she asked with amazement.
He looked down to her. "Hardly."
"If you are that powerful, why does Motormaster even bother to pull a stunt like that?"
"That is what he lives for. He wants to be the King of the Road."
She grinned. "Well, he clearly isn't the King, right Prime?"
He nodded. "And he never will be."
They enjoyed the scenery and the company for a while when Alyx said.
"Can I ask you something very personal?"
"You can ask me anything, you know that."
"First I'd like to say that I'm really grateful that you and your friends rescued me from that dreadful planet."
"I'm glad we could give you back your freedom."
"You have given me so much more! You gave me back my life, you gave me a family, a home. And you… you're the closed thing I have to a father."
If he hadn't that cover over his face she could have seen him smiled. Her saying that gave him the most rewarding feeling he'd ever experienced.
"Alyx… I don't know what to say… I haven't met many fleshlings who's actually don't see us as plain machines…"
"Really? Can't they sense your sparks than?"
He gave her a surprised look. "Can you?"
She nodded.
"That's amazing."
They gazed across the lake for a while, watching a flock of swans land.
"Prime…" she looked up at him. "Would you mind to be my … dad?"
Just when he thought she could not amaze him even more he looked down at her … amazed again. "Me?" Now he really didn't know what to say.
"I can't remember my biological father… you've taken such good care of me and taught me so much. I know you're real busy and all …" she bit her lip tensely and looked up at his face, curious to what he'd say.
"It would be my pleasure."
A radiant smile formed on her face and her eyes lit up like happy candles. "Thanks… dad."
