For a moment, it was a beautiful sun dawning over a large desert town. The sky was painted in shades of pink, blue, yellow and orange. It was silent all except for a lone morning wind blowing through the rock formations and the few trees growing, but high up on the barren mountains, a strange thing was occurring. A Crimson- Magenta mist appeared and started to form into a deep void. The air was dense with pressured anticipation, and with a burst came four tall and bulky figures.
For a moment, all was silent, until the middle right figure inhaled deeply.
"Man! It's been a while hasn't it?" it asked
"Two years, to be exact." Said the one on the far left.
The middle right figure sighed and looked out at the sleepy little town.
"Huh. Wonder where the kids are…"
The shadowed body on the far right spoke next "Wherever they are, we need to find them."
The final figure that stood next to the one who first spoke nodded. "Yes, they could be the only ones who can help us."
"Ha! I wonder if they still remember us?" the right one chuckled.
For a moment, the atmosphere seemed peaceful and calm as it did just a few minutes before. "We will soon find out"
All that could be heard was the roar of four engines as they zoomed off into the horizon.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Hey Alexis!" a blonde haired boy ran down a sidewalk towards a girl. Her brown hair shined as she turned to see him. "Oh hey Rad, Carlos and I were looking for you. Why were you so late to school today? Let me guess, yet another power outage at your house?"
The boy, Rad, quickly changed the topic, "SO, what's everyone all jazzed up about?" He asked as they walked to their high school. The students were alive and buzzing, which is strange for high school students so early in the morning. They had long since passed 7th and 8th grade, and now were finally in the ninth grade.
Before Alexis could answer, another boy came bounding up to them. He was obviously of Hispanic heritage, with black hair and brown eyes.
"Hey Carlos." Alexis said flatly, already bored with the morning.
"Hey did you guys hear? Our class is getting a new transfer student!" the boy told them.
"That's what's going on." Alexis told Rad as she giggled. The trio trekked towards their class. If only they knew what was to take place on this seemingly average day.
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal
The sun gleamed down on the town, the palm trees a spot of green in the vast rocky landscape.
'Nothing's changed since they left.' Rad sighed, turning his attention away from the window. Visions flew through his head of the many adventures he and his two other friends had with the Autobots. The teen couldn't help but give a faint smile, remembering his alien friends. But before he could reminisce about them, the teacher's less-than-enthusiastic voice came from the front of the room'
"Ok kids, settle down! First thing this morning, a new student, hurray… now you all say hi to Terra Miller." the teacher said as he stood in front of the class. He opened the door to reveal a shy, pale, and very petite girl standing in the door frame. The teacher took her hand and brought her in; she finally got the courage to look up with her Amber eyes. "H-hey." She said with a slight blush covering her cheeks. It had to be the New Student syndrome.
Rad leaned over to Carlos "Hey man, are you sure about this is the new girl?" he asked, not taking his eyes off the girl, who was at the moment, avoiding the eyes of her new classmates..
"Yeah, she came from, like Maine or something."
"She's a little freaked out; do we look like zombies or something?"
Rad felt a harsh punch on his shoulder; he turned to glare at none other than Alexis.
"Will you just give her a break?! It is her first day, and she looks really nice, so you be good to her!" the girl demanded. The two boys knew Alexis's wrath was a thousand times worse than anything either of them could think of.
As they looked back up, the saw Terra clutching distractingly at her brown peasant dress. She had it over a cream colored tank-top and Jeans.
What Rad found interesting was Terra's Bracelet. It was composed of many silver wires with three, round, beautiful, blue stones sitting on top of them.
The girl quickly and shakily walked to the empty seat behind Rad, hiding her face behind a math book to try and keep people from staring.
When the teacher finally started teaching, Rad turned around to face her,
"Hi!" he stated quickly.
The poor girl almost jumped out of her skin, as soon as she calmed, she smiled faintly and replied with a wave before she quickly looked down into her book to avoid Rad's eyes.
"Why are you so shy?" Carlos suddenly probed Terra.
The girl shot up, blushing profusely through her scarlet bangs while the rest of her hair was pulled into a pony-tail that fell to her shoulders.
"Heh, new state, new school."She answered nervously, shrugging her shoulders as if she didn't know.
As Rad was about to talk to her more, the teacher called out; "Ahem! Bradley White! If you are done questioning your new classmate, then why don't you tell me about the story I assigned to you on Tuesday?"
Rad grimaced when he realized he had forgotten to do the homework the teacher had given out.
Alexis and Carlos chuckled behind him. Homework, especially Mythology, was not his forte.
He was about to take a shot in the dark when he heard a faint whisper behind him,
"You're bad at this aren't you? It's a legend about a war and an ancient weapon.'
Rad turned a bit to see Terra, avoiding his gaze, but hid a smirk.
He decided to trust her and replied to the teacher; "Well, it's a legend about a war and an ancient weapon." he asked, hoping that it was right. To his satisfaction, Rad turned out to be right.
Sighing, the teacher tried to stabilize himself looking back up, he asked his class "Alright, can anyone elaborate on that?"
All was quiet except the chirping of birds outside the window. The blank stares that focused on the teacher were enough to give the educator an aneurism. On the verge of hitting himself with his book, the man saw a hand rise.
"Yes, Miss Miller, for the love of all that is holy, please help him out…"
The girl shifted a little, "Um, I guess that, 7 millennia ago this Empress had found an incredible weapon of either mass destruction of great potential, depending on who wielded it." Terra paused to breathe for a moment, "But, apparently, the whole world wanted to have that weapon too, so, this war was waged on the Empress's lands. Supposedly, to stop all this, she locked away her weapon and hid the keys. She was said to be killed by the invaders and the weapon was told to be never found."
The teacher nodded, pivoted around, and dropped the subject of the legend and focused on that day's lesson.
Rad had been listening to Terra's explanation. He also noticed that she hadn't had her book open when she was speaking. 'She must know the story by heart. Empresses, Weapons of mass destruction, and crazy legends. Why do we need to know this stuff?' He thought. Shaking off the questions, he opened his book and listened to his teacher's lecture.
As soon as class got out for the day, Rad, Alexis, and Carlos all ran to find the new girl. As they all turned a corner, they saw Terra walking with her books close to her chest. They started to walk towards her, but hesitated when they saw her trip and fall on her face. The people around her laughed and called her a klutz. The gang quickly ran to the fallen girl, who just blushed and insisted she was alright.
Rad remembered the classroom incident and decided to thank her.
"Hey, Terra. What you did in there was awesome; you're really good at Math."
As if she didn't want to be thanked, Terra started to say something, but then decided not to.
"Your parents must be totally proud!" Carlos explained
Terra then looked like Carlos had struck a cord, but then quickly masked it with the purest of smiles. "Oh, yes. They are."
"Terra, is something wrong?" Alexis piped up.
Terra just shook her head. The group eyed the shy girl, almost expecting her to explode from having 3 sets of eyes on her.
"Um... I have to go now. It was nice meeting you all!" Terra said quickly, running towards the exit.
Rad, Alexis, and Carlos all watched her leave, each with different thoughts of the strange girl running through their heads.
As they started to walk home, Alexis pulled out her Mythology book and cracked it open to the correct page. She read a small bit, but stopped when she started to laugh. The two boys looked back at her. "What's up, Alexis, what's so funny?"
Controlling herself, the girl replied. "This crazy legend our teacher assigned us, its total kids fairy-tales. We might as well be learning about Humpty-Dumpty."
Rad gave her a strange look, "what's so weird about it?"
Taking a breath, Alexis raised the book to her eyes and read the paragraph with an evident strain not to laugh. "Well, this supposed 'weapon of mass destruction' was said to have been carved from a falling star, and that back 7,000 years ago, there was a massive race of super-humans who all had different supernatural abilities. Oh man, this sounds like a really bad sci-fi movie." She joked.
The boys smiled and shrugged. "I don't care about that story, dude, I do the homework and I pass the class. That's all I'm going to do for that awful teacher we have." Carlos said in a bored tone. The brunette put her book away, "I'm surprised you haven't pulled any stunts with him like you have with our other teachers."
Both laughed at the memories of them pulling pranks on their unsuspecting teachers.
"Yeah, but it wouldn't be any fun doing any of that stuff on him, he'd probably just throw himself out a window." Rad teased.
Carlos and Rad started to joke about the day. Alexis, on the other hand, was just watching the scenery. The leaves falling, the birds singing, the strange light in the atmosphere…. Her eyes quickly wandered back to that same spot and stared straight at it. It was too early for the stars or the moon to be out; planes wouldn't be using their lights so early in the day either. Alexis felt her heart sink. Could it be?
A strange, foreign feeling overwhelmed the poor girl, like the sky was about to fall. She remembered, a long time ago, back in 7th grade, when she and her friends encountered this feeing before. That was the first time they had met: The human children and the Transformers from Cybertron.
And out of instinct, she turned to her two friends and explained what she had felt. The two boys just looked at each other, and then burst out laughing. Thoroughly ticked, Alexis shouted "what's so funny? You think I'm lying?!"
"I think you may have gone a little loco, Alexis." Carlos said through his laughs.
Rad agreed. "Yeah, the Transformers all went to their home world two years ago!"
Alexis got steamed in the face as she retorted "I'm not making it up!"
As if fate chose to prove her right, which the boys should know by now was almost ALWAYS, at that very moment, an ambulance pulled up next to them. And on it, a logo the three friends could never forget. The symbol of the Autobots.
The door next to them opened, "Long time, No see, kids." A voice out of no where drifted into their ears.
"RedAlert!" they shouted in unison, it was good to see him, but it puzzled them even more about what was going on
Alexis couldn't resist, "I told you guys!"
Ignoring her rant, Rad took a step towards the emergency vehicle "what are you doing her RedAlert? I thought you guys were on your home planet."
There was a long pause, "Come with me, I'll explain everything when we get back to the others."
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
As soon as the kids climbed into RedAlert, he took of with his sirens blaring at full speed.
"Whoa! Hey, RedAlert, why are you here? I thought everything was going well on Cybertron!" Carlos asked.
RedAlert rounded a bend, but responded. "Everything's fine at home, but a problem has arisen here on Earth."
This statement made the trio uneasy. "Don't worry about it. Everything will be explained soon" RedAlert enlightened.
The kids perked up. "Who else is here?" Rad asked.
RedAlert started to go up the mountains, where the veiw changed into a beautiful picture of serene calmness. "For this mission, we had to have a small team, but if things get rough, we have back-up waiting. Optimus, HotShot, and SideSwipe are here now. They sent me to find you. Although it was preferred that you didn't get involved in this mess, we needed your help for this."
The three stayed quiet for a few moments, remembering the other Transformers.
Before Rad, Alexis, or Carlos could say anything more, they had arrived at their long awaited destination.
The kids couldn't get out swift enough, but to their astonish ment, there was nothing there.
They all turned back to see RedAlert transform into robot mode. He smiled at their confused facial expressions. "You didn't think they'd be out here in the open, did you?" the medical bot smirked.
Alexis looked at him a little bewildered. "Then where are they?" she pondered.
"Where else would they be?" Carlos answered.
The girl looked as if she wanted to smack herself for her stupidity. "The base."
ooooooooooooooo
It was a trip down memory lane for the kids as they ran around every turn of the gleaming base the Autobots inhabited.
Turn after turn, step after step, the humans finally knew they had reached their end when they heard a familiar metallic voice call to them:
"Hey kids, it's been a while!"
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Gyaaah! I'm so bad at math; I probably screwed up that math part. Whatever, it's done. Can anyone tell me who the Autobot who spoke last was?
Review and tell me which one and you shall receive an Optimus Plushy!! Huzzah!
♥'s forever,
Your DJ Rae!
