WARNING! Read at your own risk! Swear word and gore (Kinda? Not really, a little?) Let's just be safe and say A LOT. LOL. Italics mean thoughts inside Sari's mind in this chapter. Been a while since I said that! :D
Sari drove in the passenger seat of Bulkhead, driving to Sumdac Tower to make sure Sari's father was okay. Earlier, they had seen Soundwave enter the building, looking emotionless as always.
Before long, there was a blast, then two, then several. Bulkhead tried swerving out of the way, running over Vehicons in the process. Sari squealed as she clung onto the seatbelt. She clenched her eyes shut.
Watch out, Sari.
"Why can't you just tell me who you are?"
"Hang on, Sari!" Bulkhead yelled, forcing Sari's eyes open. He transformed, cradling Sari in his giant servos. She covered her head, hearing Bulkhead's loud roar of pain and courage. Bulkhead was always brave. Even though he was clumsy and destructive, he loved everyone and everything. Sari looked up when she realized her and Bulkhead had stopped. He was lying on his side, with her unharmed in his servos. A figure stood in front of them.
"Vell, vell, vell. Vat do ve have here?" Icy placed his arms on his sides.
"I don't care who zey are! I vant to crush them!" Hothead bellowed. Sari jumped in front of Bulkhead and scowled, taking out her bright energon blades.
"Oh, you don't need to protect ze big one, organic." Icy bent over to get closer to Sari. "Ve just need you for za little."
"If you don't do as ve comand, ve vill squash you're fat friend!" Hothead yelled.
"He's fat! HAHAHA!" Random laughed.
"Don't do it, Sari…" Bulkhead slowly got up from behind the techno-organic.
"Vell, ve vill get our vay no matter vat." Icy shrugged. He slipped around and grabbed Bulkhead's arms from behind. Sari widened her eyes.
"Don't do anything, Sari." Bulkhead choked.
"Oh, she doesn't have a choice." Icy whispered, letting go of Bulkhead. Another body took Blitzwing's place, two bodies, actually.
"Go get the body." Mixmaster said, crushing Bulkhead wrists.
"Oh, hey Bulky." Scrapper said.
"Where's your pet?" Bulkhead sneered.
"Oh… he left me, doesn't matter though, Dinobots are pretty boring, anyways."
Sari ran behind Blitzwing, throwing energy balls at him, which gave no effect to the Decepticon. He just shrugged and flicked Sari in front of Bulkhead and the two Constructicons.
"Sari, go." Bulkhead's optics seem to say.
"I'm not leaving you." Sari's eyes said back. Her head turned as Blitzing neared, carrying an offline Decepticon. His face changed.
"Now," Starscream smirked, "With the power of the All Spark in this organic, I can finally become one with my body!" Sari's processor started to ache as Starscream kept nearing her. Her fists clenched, trying to defuse the pain, but it kept rising. Starscream laughed as Sari fell to her knees. She felt her very spark fade, her energy being swept right out of her. She screamed.
"Please!" Bulkhead pleaded, trying to struggle free from the Constructicons' servos. The colour slowly formed in Starscream's old body. Blitzwing's servo's burned. He dropped the body and fell to his knees. There was a blinding light. When the light faded, Bulkhead could see a shadow formed that turned into the fully healed body of Starscream.
"Oh it's great to be back in my body!" Bulkhead looked down, Sari was laying motionless on the ground. His eyes sulked but his spark filled with rage.
Sari, you need to get up.
"I can't."
There's no such thing as can't. You can do this. You're friends are there waiting for you.
"I just can't."
Do you hear that?
"…"
It's your friend. What does it sound like?
"A 'no'. It sounds like… Bumblebee… BUMBLEBEE! We have to help him!"
You can't, remember?
"… There's no such thing as can't."
Hehehe. Now you're talking.
Not too far there was a cry. Bulkhead knew it was Bumblebee. His word ran through his circuitry. A disk of yellow light seemed to plough in his spark. It gave him hope and determination. A sense that he could face these Decepticons and win this war.
"No…" he whispered. His brows furrowed. "No!" The green bot spun around and punched Scrapper and Mixmaster down. His hand became a wrecking ball and he flung it at Blitzwing, flying him into a building. The sky darkened and rain fell to the ground.
"Zat vas unexpected." Icy grumbled.
"I think ve should get out off here! HAHAHA!" Random laughed as Bulkhead neared. Blitzwing transformed and flew off. Bulkhead turned and faced Starscream, whose expression was cowardly.
"Um… I have something to do." He stuttered and transformed off. Bulkhead ran to Sari and scooped her up. She was still alive, thank Primus.
Bulkhead placed Sari in the lobby in Sumdac Tower. She opened her eyes. Bulkhead stood in front of her, he was relieved.
"Bulkhead?" She whispered, but shot up. "Where's Bumblebee? His he okay?"
"You heard that too?" He leaned forward. Before Sari could answer, there was an explosion.
"That sounded like it came from Dad's lab!" She bolted to the elevator.
"I'll take the loft!" Bulkhead yelled and transformed.
Professor Sumdac fell to the floor from the blast. He could hear loud, metal footsteps nearing him.
"No need to hide, organic." Soundwave's voice echoed. "I can smell you." He blasted his guitar above Isaac, which jumped him out of hiding.
"Wha- what do you what?" Isaac shivered.
"Where is the techo-organic?"
"I will never tell!"
"You're argument is invalid." Soundwave took out a small blaster and pointed it at the professor. "You will tell me."
"N-never!" Isaac yelled. "I-I don't know!"
"Inferior human. You disobey me. Punishment: termination." Soundwave pulled the trigger.
Sari kicked the door open and tears formed in her eyes. Isaac Sumdac laid in the rubble of his lab. His coat was melted and his skin was black. His head was detached from his body and nowhere to be found.
"DAD!" She screamed, running towards her father. She collapsed on her knees as Bulkhead entered the room. A hole in the wall showed the brightness of the sun, but the darkness of Unicron. He slowly walked through the debris towards Sari and her father. Her head was lowered to her knees as she sobbed, her voice kept choking the word 'daddy'. Bulkhead had never seen an actual dead organic before, and hoped he would never see one, and now his hope vanished.
Sari held her father's burned hand. Blood covered her fingers as she squeezed. Tears fell to her legs. She knew in her heart that he died trying to protect her.
"W-w-w-h-h-y-y?" She looked up to Bulkhead. "Wh-y-y?" Bulkhead didn't answer, he just rubbed her back with his large servo. Sari looked at the body that laid before her and she sulked.
"I'm going to get that bastard Soundwave." She huffed. "I'm going to kill him."
"Sari-" Bulkhead consoled.
"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM." She cranked her head to Bulkhead and stared at him. Her face was full of tears but her eyes were full of anger. She stood up and stormed out the door. Bulkhead followed her.
"Sari, where are you going!" Bulkhead walked up behind Sari.
"I'm going to avenge my father." She growled and turned to her friend. "Take me to Elita's lair."
"But-"
"NOW."
Bulkhead transformed on the sandy shore and Sari stepped out. It was a very uncomfortable ride. Bulkhead could hear the sound of Sari sniffling back tears.
She entered Elita's lair with Bulkhead close by. They walked into the room where Bumblebee was transformed into a human, and where he turned back to normal. Sari pointed to the control device.
"Turn it on." She ordered. Bulkhead gave her a strange look, but he wasn't going to argue with her. He turned it on and the capsule beside it roared to life.
"Sari… do you really want to do this?" He watched the girl looked at the machine. She hesitated.
"…Yes." She said and stepped forward, walking into the capsule. The doors closed and Bulkhead waited anxiously.
Sari was afraid. She wasn't sure if she could do this, but she straightened. She was going to do this. For her dad. Her eyes glowed and her limbs grew, becoming metal. Her hair disappeared and was replaced by a helmet. She felt pain as her blood was replaced by energon, her veins were replaced by wires, and her brain was replaced by a computer. She screamed. Her organs dissapeared. Her heart transformed into a spark. She was becoming machine.
Bulkhead was startled and reached for the stop button.
"Don't stop the machine!" Sari yelled. The machine grew to a close and the doors opened. Sari wobbled out. Bulkhead was surprised at what he saw. He saw a femme bot, about a head shorter than Bumblebee. Her helmet had two metal pigtails, they had bows attached at the roots. Behind them were blue rings shaped like her pigtails. Her face was grey and her optics shone a brilliant blue, like a true Autobot. Her body was the same as her techno-organic robot mode, except much bigger… and a lot more metal. She looked at herself and managed to smile.
"I look good."
The two landed on the shores of Detroit and were instantly surrounded by Vehicons, weapons and stasis cuffs ready.
"Some welcome party." Sari whispered as she and Bulkhead put their servos up.
Woah, bros. Some chapter I have. Pretty.. Uh… don't kill me! Haha! Yes, so Sari is now a full Autobot. Booyahhh. Let's see what she can do. (: Thank you to all who read and review my story! *w*
