Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I got a tiny case of writers block :P But, Chapter 16!


"Unicron." Optimus whispered.

All Autobots looked at him in shock. Unicron, the destroyer. The name sent more fear into Cybertronians then Megatron himself. A shudder went down Dino's spine. The mech was never afraid, but the name made him want to go cower in a corner. Protoforms were threatened when they were bold that Unicron would come and get them. It was there, 'Boogie man', but, unlike Humans make believed monsters of the night, this demon was all too real.

Danni looked at Optimus, cocking her head to the side. But, her vision went dark again, and flames burst out of nowhere. Danni looked around in fear, trying not the get burnt by the surrounding flames. Suddenly, a dark figure slid up from the fire, the flames of hell lapping onto his metal plating, and his narrow, pale red optics looked into space. Danni felt herself cower away from the demon, and she scrambled as far away from it as possible. It's deathly stare looked down, right at Danni, optics piercing right into her soul.

"I AM UNICRON!"

His voice boomed in her ears, and she held her hands over them, closing her eyes. She opened them again to find everyone starring at her strangely. Again. Danni cleared her throat, getting up. "We, we should get moving." She walked past the crowd, pushing through to get to the front. But, right at the edge of the Humans, she stopped. A jolt went down her spine, and she cried in pain, falling to her knees. The chip! She had completely forgotten about the stupid thing! But it seemed to Decepticons remembered the device. The electricity went through her entire body, and she shook, screaming.

Optimus rushed towards her, alarmed by what was going on with her. Optimus turned to ratchet, who was as alarmed as he was. "Ratchet! What's happening?" Optimus called towards the CMO as Danni cried even louder. Ratchet came to Optimus' side, and took several scans of the girl before his optics widened. Ratchet turned to Optimus, then back at Danni, and crouched to the ground.

"She's being shocked by some kind of chip. I must remove it immediately." Ratchet brought out a small blade from the tip of his digit, and located the chip, and carefully held Danni down to keep her from squirming too much, and sliced off the piece of skin, leaving the blood to leak through and he could almost see the cybernetic underneath the flesh. Danni shook still, but slowly, she stopped shaking. Ratchet gave her his finger for support, and Danni grasped it, legs wobbling as she stood. But right away, her hand slipped away from ratchets finger, and she fell back down on the ground.

She starred down at the ground, eyes wide as she heard a rumbling under the earth. The voices beside her were drowned out by the rumbling, and the others didn't seem to hear it. Red flashes past her eyes, and she breathed in and out heavily. Shockwave was coming. That shock had been the chip activating it's tracking it's tracking device. She jolted upright, and looked around, the rumbling still in her head. She brought back her head. "SHOCKWAVE! DECEPTICON, DECEPTICON!" She cried, and began running.

The Autobots and Humans looked at eachother with confusion, seeing no danger. But Optimus seemed to know better, and walked towards the group, urgency in his optics. "We must follow her!" He directed, and began to jog over to Danni. Will looked over his shoulder at the confused troops, and his eyes hardened.

"You heard him! Move!"

Now everyone began to run, though the Autobots had to keep a slow pace for the Humans to keep up with them. Danni ran at full speed, trying to get away from the rumbling. As she took a step, the soil below her seemed to dissolve, and she feel into a dark hole. Optimus saw her go down, and stopped at the edge of the hole, trying to see down it. "Danni! Are you alright?" He called, his voice echoing as it went down.

Danni coughed, the dust in her throat. Something had broken her fall, though her leg began to throb with pain. "I'm okay!" She called up towards the hole, seeing the light peeking through. She slowly got up, dusting herself off. Walking forwards, trying to see through the dark. But her head banged against metal, and she fell backwards, clutching her head. How many times was she going to get hurt today? The bang went throughout the entire place, and slowly, the lights flickered on, and Danni looked around in astonishment.

Computers, blinking lights and unknown switches were everywhere, halls lighting up as they led into different rooms. It looked like some old abandoned military base, and by the looks of it, nobody had been in here for years. Danni looked back up towards the hole. "Guys, I found something!" She called up, and looked around at the room for a moment. "I think you might want to check this out."

"We'll be right down!" Will's voice echoed in through the hole. Bumblebee dropped down from the hole, because he was the smallest Autobot and the only one that could fit through without breaking some of their bones from the drop. The yellow scout looked around for a moment, optics wide, and he looked up at the hole.

"Come on down! See the eighth wonder of the world!" Bumblebee put his servo up to the hole, bringing it back down with Will on his hand. Will looked around, a bit surprised at his surroundings. Danni had gone farther away from him and 'Bee, and was walking down the halls. Danni looked in at each room, growing more and more curious. Technology of every sort was in the rooms, scribbles on chalk boards of what looked like some sort of math. But, as she passed a room full of darkness, she stopped, peering inside. There was something about the room, something hidden, something secret.

Looking over her shoulder, she saw most of the soldiers in the main room, most of the Humans just coming through as the rest of the Autobots were trying to make the hole bigger for them to get through it. Carefully, she looked back at the room, took a deep breath, and entered. She could barely see through the darkness, but for some reason, she knew where she was going, like she'd been here before. Looking around, she saw an eerie faint green light, and cautiously, she walked towards it. Danni reached out, and touched a cold flat surface. She knew right away it wasn't another wall, because it lit up, showing some sort of writing.

Danni looked at the screen, narrowing her eyes. Reaching out towards the screen again, she touched one of the words. Project 160. The screen went blank for a moment, and came back to more diagrams of something. But a red box came up, and she scowled. Security code. Stupid technology, it knew she wasn't supposed to be in there.

"Danni?"

She jumped at the voiced, and turned around. Zane looked at her through the doorway, and carefully walked in. Zane walked up beside her, looking at the screen. "Trying to hack into the system?" Danni nodded. Zane smiled, and cracked his knuckles. "You're lucky I came along. I am the hacking wizard." He put his fingers on the keyboard, and began typing at an insane speed, bringing up a whole new screen filled with symbols and some letters and numbers. "And…" He pressed the enter button, and crossed his arms, a smug look on his face. "Done." The screen went back onto the diagram, and Danni took the mouse in her hand, looking for something to click on. Zane looked at the screen, and pointed towards one of them. "There, click there." He pointed towards the top left corner.

Danni brought the curser over to where he had directed, and clicked on it, getting a whole new other screen. It seemed to be written by one of the workers of whatever Project 160 was, a log of some sort.

I feel so horrible, that's why I had to write this. I can't lie anymore, I have to let it out to whoever is reading this. I'll probably get fired, but I don't care anymore. Project 160 started out as a simple mistake, but they turned it into a weapon, a horrible, horrible weapon. It was an average day on Base when we were informed that aliens had landed on Earth. We didn't know what to think. I had been here for three years and nothing like that had ever happened. But, after a couple years, NEST was made, and that's when the madness started.

I was just studying the biology of Cybertronians with a bit of the Autobots DNA they had donated for our science, when, it, happened. I was tired, and I was stupid enough to accidently knock over one of the test tubes, breaking it. But, I got cut by one of the shards of glass, and it got into the DNA sample. When I looked through the microscope to see if the sample was soiled, I found that the Human blood mixed in with the energon, creating a whole new DNA sample. A mix of both Human and Cybertronian, it was fascinating.

It was a simple mistake, and it was truly fascinating, but a mistake. But, my superiors thought of it was a major military accomplishment. They told me to take more samples of the Human Cybertronian DNA, and so I did as I was told. They gave me actual Human flesh, and pieces of dead Decepticons, and soon, after 2 years, I managed to make Human metal flesh. I thought it was simply for science, but how wrong I was. They began to make some sort of super soldier, out of the pieces and organs of fallen warriors, Decepticon or Autobot. And we lied to NEST and the Autobots of what we were going to do to the bodies, we told them we would bury them. But, instead they just became part of some sick experiment.

I never meant for it to happen. We went through project after project, all of them failing. But, then we made 160, the first perfect model. The only flaw, it came out as a girl. A young girl. All of the others had been men, fully grown, but the genes had gotten scrambled, and somehow made it out as a girl. I'm not sure how, but it did. After 4 more years, it was just finished forming when they began to activate its weapons system, when the government disbanded us, saying our work was untrustworthy and dangerous. And I fully agree with them. But, we didn't know what to do with Project 160. She was fully formed, weapons and all, and we didn't want to destroy what we had spent almost 6 years working on.

So, by chance, I was chosen to take on the responsibility of Project 160. I don't know what to tell from here, but there is something you should know. If put into the wrong hands, Project 160 could-

Danni starred at the screen, breathing hard. She was this, Project 160. She was manmade, and as this man put it, she was a mass weapon of destruction. But, she knew who the man was. This man was her father. He had created her, and she knew that since he had, 'taken responsibility of', that meant he was the one who had raised her, along with her, 'mother'. But, it was all so much to take in at the moment. Zane barely even breathed, starring at the screen.

"It just, stopped." He said quietly. "If put in the wrong hands, you could do what? What was so bad that he would have to warn others?" Zane questioned, not even fazed by the fact she was some sort of sick government experiment gone horribly right. "What do you think he was trying to say?" Zane looked at Danni curiously, and she just stood in her spot, starring at the screen.

"I-I don't know." She whispered, shaking her head. So much had happened today, it was too much. She'd talked to Primus, practically died, seen Unicron in a vision, been shocked by a metal tracker device chip, heard Shockwave tunneling underground, fallen down a hole, which was actually an underground military base, hacked into a super top security file, and found out she was made by a bunch of mad scientists.

If that wasn't a lot, she didn't know what was.


So there you have it! Danni is not some creation of a Human and Cybertronian making, 'Love', *Shudders*, but instead, is some government experiment. Dang Government, always doing stuff behind our backs...
