Chapter Eight: Unexpected Twists

Allie had a pretty good idea of where the Fallen was. After all it was kind of hard not to guess where the solar harvester was. Now that she had been reunited with Tallie memories were drifting through her subconscious. Their parents had been working with Sector Seven when they were born. Their mother had been told she would not be able to have children but somehow she gave birth to twins after nine months of exposure to the All Spark. The birth had changed her and she had soon found out she was no longer ordinary. Around the All Spark she learned things including why the twins had been born. There was a Solar Harvester on Earth that would one day be activated after the All Spark was destroyed from this form. It would be the twins job to stop it from ever being activated.

Christine and her husband Howard, their mother and father, had argued over the twins destiny and gifts and eventually Christine had divorced Howard. The two had gone their separate ways but Christine had been hunted by Decepticons along with the twins. Knowing the end was soon to come Christine had left the twins in two separate places. She would never have guessed that Tallie would be taken in by Autobots and Allie by the very Decepticons who had killed Christine.

Talisa and Alessia MacKenna were truly unusual. Allie pushed herself further until she saw the Decepticons and the Fallen clutching the matrix. "With this I can activate the Solar Harvester and we can control everything," the Fallen said, red optics glowing with a power hungry glaze that Allie neither trusted nor liked. Slowly she climbed the steps of the pyramid, praying to anyone that was listening that this plan would work.

Then she raised her voice and said, "Abandon hope all ye who enter here." Instantly all the Decepticons jumped and the matrix actually flew out of the Fallen's hands. Allie dove for it and caught it in midair only to fall back to Earth with a thud. Her invisibility shut off and the Fallen growled.

"You," her snarled, turning to Megatron. "You should have disposed of her long ago."

"Of course you are right my master," Megatron said and Allie's lips curled in disgust. "I should have done just that."

"You wouldn't dare Megatron," a voice said, cold as ice, and a familiar hand picked Allie up. Soundwave. Megatron looked just as stunned as Allie felt. Soundwave placed Allie carefully behind him and the girl glanced at the matrix cupped in her hands and then at the mech in front of her. That was when Megatron powered up his fusion cannon. The blast seared straight through the communication director's armor and slammed in his spark, downing Soundwave in less than sixty second, Soundwave turned agonized optics to Allie and whispered, "Run." So with tears pouring down her face she ran because she had already made her choice, even if every step she took away from her guardian told her it was the wrong one.
