Author's Note: Thanks to Duece (thanks so much for taking the time to review! Glad you like this and the others) and I am Blueberry (no kidding!) for reviewing the last chapter. Enjoy and I own nothing but Tallie and Allie
Chapter Six: There was a plan...
"So what exactly are we going to do about that?" Tallie asked, coming around the cargo plane which quickly took flight like a small bird away from a hawk. Tallie honestly didn't blame the pilot for flying away so quickly. If she had seen something like Devastator for the first time she would have run. As it was she had no choice but to stand and fight.
Ironhide looked shocked that she was there and Skids and Mudflap were too freaked out by the massive approaching 'Con to say anything. "Radio Lennox and see if we can get any air support?" Sideswipe suggested. Tallie sighed and rolled her eyes.
"With what radio dinglefod?"
"Oh," Sideswipe said, properly chastened. Then he noticed she was heading toward the ruins in between them and Devastator. "Where are you going?"
"To get help," Tallie called and then ran into the ruins. The soft sand made it hard to move fast and seeing Devastator so close to her was making it harder to run foreword. Finally she gave up looking ahead and looked at the ground. That was how she ran into her arch nemesis. They crashed to the ground with muffled grunts of pain and breathlessness before looking up into each other's eyes. Instant connection.
A low buzzing hum filled Tallie's head and pictures began to flash across like an old black and white movie. First was one of a beautiful woman with long blonde hair. Standing next to her was a man with brown hair the same color as Allie's. Then there was another baby who looked terribly like Allie. Finally she saw the same woman place a silver necklace around her and Allie's necks. "So you'll always know each other when you find one another again," she said with a soft, frightened smile. Then the pictures were gone and Tallie was left looking at the girl she had hated for so long.
"We're the same," Allie said in a slightly broken voice, a crystalline tear running down her cheek.
"Twins," Tallie finished for her. They stared at each other for a moment and then a kind of mutual understanding washed over them.
"Tell me," Allie ordered. Behind her sister's words Tallie heard another's.
She's your older sister, even if by only a few seconds. Listen to her. And Tallie did. "Optimus Prime's body is here in Egypt. Sam Witwickey and his girlfriend Mikaela may have a way to bring Optimus back but we have to keep Devastator away. We have to find Lennox to get air support."
"Then let's get moving," Allie said. And they did until orange smoke poured out around them. That was when they say the airplanes.
"Oh crap," Tallie said suddenly.
"So is there a plan here?" Allie asked, looking curious.
"There was a plan," Tallie replied, glancing at the incoming planes. "And that was it. Plan B?"
"Run like heck and hope we don't get shot?" Allie suggested.
"Good plan," Tallie said quickly as they both spun on their heels and ran. Hopefully the airplane would take care of Devastator. If not they still planned to be long gone. Being invisible or being able to use electricity did nothing to make one bullet proof.
