Hey guys, welcome back to Chapter 3 of TCTF, and I just want to give out a shout-out to My friend Joie for reading my story and reviewing, SuperSmashGirlBB for reading and reviewing, Goldmon Allthier Breaker and Velvee for the Favs, and Velvee for the alert, I really appreciate it.
So Last chapter we met Nurse Ratchet, Sam actually showed up to school, Barricade hacked into Vay's personal files, and Vay just found the Decepticon symbol on the holoform of Barricade. So I wonder whats going to happen this chapter (evil grin). Theirs going to be slight background stuff on Vay.
Typical disclaimer stuff and How I wish I did own Transformers blah blah blah.
One last thing...FIRST BARRICADE PoV CHAPTER! Squeeeee!(I mean this is just Barricade btw :P)
Chapter 3
Barricade saw the organic's heartbeat picked up suddenly over his scanner, and he looked at the male organic closely. He seemed fine, and didn't show any signs physically wrong. Yet his heart was beating above the normal rate of a human of his size. What changed? Barricade thought, and soon kicked into his Con training as a scout. He scanned out the environment for any potential threat, and found none.
The Saleen was mildly surprised, but he did not show it as he continued to use his holoform to talk to the organic designated as Vay Sealo, "Then you would not mind telling me why you ran away from me." the cop holoform stated, and the organic frowned.
"I don't like cops." He answered, and turned to walk into a organic living complex. The coldness of the voice contrasted to the earlier way he had talked, and Barricade's holoform followed the temperamental teen.
"Kid, I'm not done asking questions." Vay didn't stop, and the Saleen's holoform cursed in Cybertronian, Barricade's holoform ran up to the organic, and tried to stop the teen from going inside. As he grabbed Vay's shoulder, the teen spun around, escaping the Con's grasp, and the organic's leg shot out into a side kick, aimed for the holoform's head.
Barricade immediately brought up the holoform's forearm and blocked the kick, and quickly swiped the other leg from under Vay. The organic landed with a loud thud, and was dazed as the holoform straddled the organic and held down Vay's hands. The sunglasses that the organic was wearing had fell off when he landed, and Barricade hid his surprise at the color of the organic's eyes. Why is this organic's eyes like our optics? He questioned, but was surprised when Vay started to struggle.
"Let me go you fuckin' robot!" The organic screamed, and the holoform froze. How...? The logic circuit he had seemed to kick into overdrive as the Saleen tried to process what he just heard. So he just acted like the organic was crazy, and the holoform laughed.
"Okay kid maybe you have a concussion." He teased, but Vay shook his head and glared at the cop.
"Don't try to Bull shit me!" Vay yelled, and he nodded his head toward the holoform's right arm, "Thats the symbol yall have!" The holoform frowned, and jerked back in surprise when the crimson eyes turned to emerald.
"What in Primus...?" The holoform muttered, and Vay froze as he realized his shades had fell off. He tried to reach for the shades, but the cop's grasp on his arms didn't grow slack. The teen then preceded to try and buck off the cop that was straddling him, and Barricade vented hot air through his vents, This is pointless. The Saleen thought, and decided to put a stop to it. He let the holoform disappear, and a surprised Vay sat up quickly.
"Now," Barricade calmly stated, "will you please get in so we can talk." Vay blinked a few times, and pushed himself off the ground. He got up and dusted himself off, and rubbed the back of his head.
"Why should I?" Vay questioned, and Barricade snorted.
"Because it would be easier for you to comply organic, or I will have to drag you in myself." Barricade watched as Vay thought this over, and was relived that the organic didn't run. Vay walked toward the Saleen, and Barricade opened his door.
"Thanks." Vay muttered, and sat down in the seat. Barricade activated his hologram in the drivers seat, and Vay jumped, surprised.
The cop looked at Vay and smiled, "Not a problem."
"Here we are." Barricade stated, as they pulled up in part of the abandoned city. As Vay got out, Barricade slowly transformed into his bipedal form, and winced from pain when he got done. Vay gaped at the tall figure, and backed up slightly. Barricade looked down and half smirked at Vay, " Well?"
Vay shook himself out off his stupor, "Why did you come and get me?" Barricade sat down, and leaned against a building. Vay looked at the 'Con for an answer, and Barricade complied
"I originally was after the female organic." Barricade started, and the organic looked surprised.
"Mikaela?" He questioned, and The 'Con nodded, and Vay shook his head. "Why her?"
"From what I got from Police records before they were wiped out," Barricade paused, and situated himself into a more comfortable position and continued, " She is very well accomplished in Vehicle maintenance."
"So?" Vay rubbed his eyes, "I don't think she knows about giant robots and how they work."
"We're not robots!" Barricade growled, and Vay jumped back in surprise. Barricade sighed as he shut down his optics for a click, and activated them again to look down at the organic. " I'm am very undercharged at the moment."
"Okay," Vay rubbed the back of his head, and looked at Barricade, "So if your not a robot, then what are?"
"I'm," Barricade moved a hand toward himself, " a Cybertronian. My race, you can say, come from the distant planet called Cybertron." The Con explained, and Vay Sat in front of the Con as he talked. "Their was a war on our planet, the Autobots against the Decepticons, both trying to use the AllSpark, our planet's life source, for their own personal wants and needs. The Cube was launched into space, and all abandoned the planet to look for the Cube."
"So The AllSpark, landed here?" Vay asked, and the Con nodded.
"So did Lord Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. He found the signal the cube transmitted, and chased it here. He actually located it, in a place you all currently call Hoover Dam."
"So Megatron got the AllSpark?" the organic interrupted, but Barricade vented out hot air, annoyed.
"Refrain from interrupting me until I'm done." He commanded, and Vay nodded relucantly. "No, even though Lord Megatron located the AllSpark, He fell into the Arctic, and his circuits were completely frozen in a ice glacier. Then a Millenia later-" Barricaded stopped at the look of surprise on the organic's face. "What?"
"How old are you?" Vay asked, and the con couldn't help but chuckle at the organic.
"Cybertronians live far much longer than you humans do. I have already Multiple lifespans of your race, but if you need a equvialent of my age, in organic terms, I would be around the age of Twenty-two."
Vay blinked a few times, and began to laugh, a Barricade was surprised by this, and looked down at the organic closer, scanning him, "Are you okay?"
Vay nodded, and calm himself down, "It's just kinda ironic that Human kind has tried to find a way to live forever, and yet we cant even live for a century." The organic's smile stayed on his face, and remained quiet. Strange Organics.
"A man name Archibald Witwicky found Lord Megatron, and somehow activated his navigation system, and got the coordinates of the AllSpark imprinted on his glasses. Years later, A group of Decepticons arrived following Lord Megatron's signal. They dispatched me to search for the AllSpark and Megatron. When I landed on Earth, I took the authoritative vehicle as my alt form, and began my search. With my partner," And closest friend, Barricade did not add, "Frenzy, We managed to get information on the whereabouts of the glasses. A LadiesMan217 was selling these glasses, and we made way to relieve him of the glasses." Barricade paused to gather in The organic's expression, and saw in his eyes that he was still interested.
"I found him riding a bike through a parking garage, and screaming about Satan's camaro. He assumed I was a actual organic, and rode straight at me." Vay raised a eyebrow at the extended pause Barricade did, and realize he was doing it for dramatic threat. "So I opened my door as, and he ran into it." Vay tried to control a snicker from leaving him, but couldn't help it at the pure insanity about it. Then Vay realized something that Barricade couldn't see.
"How does Mikaela play into this?" Vay interjected before the Con started up again.
"As LadiesMan217 ran away, the female organic you speak of showed up, and they both got into a the Autobot scout, Bumblebee. As they wer-"
"Wait!" Vay yelled at the Con as he connected the dots, "What is LadiesMan217 name?"
Barricade looked at the organic confused at Vay's interruption, but complied to answer, "Sam Witwicky." The con saw the organic visibly tense, but Vay didn't say anything, so Barricade continued with the story. Going from how he chased the Autobot scout, the fight, about getting Megatron out of the dam, How they chased down the Allspark, fought the Autobots, and how the only Con's to survive were him and Starscream.
"So...wait." Vay knitted his eyebrows together in thought, "So Sam defeated your ruler? By Pushing the only chance in reviving your planet into Megatron's Spark?" After a short silence, Barricade nodded, and the organic shook his head, and held up a finger, "One more question, Why are you not with Starscream now?"
Barricade remained quiet for a while,but gave a small sigh, "He attacked me." Vay mouth fell open at the thought.
"Arn't yall on the same side?" the organic questioned, and the Con smirked.
"Cons will do anything to offline some 'bot in their way." He stated, as if it was a well known fact to everyone.
"So is that why you look so beaten up?" Vay asked, but Barricade's audio picked up a growling sound, and quickly scanned the environment for any threats. When he heard the organics sheepish laugh, he looked down at the male organic.
"That was you?" Barricade asked surprised, and Vay gave a small nod.
"It happens when humans get hungry." Vay rubbed his stomach and took out his cell, and groaned, "Its already seven! I won't have enough time to start on my homework!"
"Homework?"
Vay looked up at the Con, surprised, "Didn't you have to go to some kind of school on Cybertron?"
"We did," Barricade stated, "It was for the war, and we had allowed us to learn about all we need to know to survive in it."
"Isn't their something more than a war school?" Vay asked, ignoring the growing sound of his stomach.
"Some of the Cybertronians were made during the war, before the AllSpark was lauched into space, and I was one of the Decepticons made during the time."
"Oh." The organic was quiet, and didn't say anything. Barricade vented hot air out of his system, and moved to get up. Vay looked surprised, and jumped up off the ground and backed up.
"What are you doing?" Vay asked as Barricade grunted as he stood fully up right, and changed back into the Saleen.
"You need a ride home, correct?" the organic nodded, and Barricade couldn't help to grumble, I'm suppose to rely on him? He thought as he opened the door for Vay.
"Thanks." Vay muttered, and say down in the leather passenger leather seat. Barricade created a hologram of the cop, and they made their way back. Vay looked over at the cop, and frowned. "So what do you want me to do?"
Barricade's hologram looked over at the human, and frowned, "First put on you seat belt."
"Excuse me?"
The cop shrugged, "Its the law."
"Are you kidding me?" Vay shook his head as he buckled himself in. "I'm in advance alien being, and you want me to follow the laws that my government have passed?"
The cop snickered, "Well at the moment you are in the company of a authority figure."
Vay rolled his eyes, " Oh like you could give someone a ticket." Barricade smiled evily at the organic, and Vay groaned, "Seriously?"
The cop nodded, but went back to looking serious, "I need you to get the female organic to help me."
Vay sighed, "How? By how you put it, Decepticons are the 'bad guys' per say." The organic started rub his temples as he fell silent. Barricade drove through the abandoned part of the city, and slowly moving through the slight traffic of Tranquility. As They were a few blocks away from his apartment, Barricade picked up a Autobot on his scanners.
"Slag!" The Con braked, which jolted Vay, and gained them a few stares at passer-bys. The Cop looked over at the organic, "You need to walk the rest of the way."
Vay tilted his head sideways, "Why?"
"Their is a Autobot at your apartment." Vay looked confused for a few seconds, and groaned.
"It's Mikaela and Sam! I gave them my address and told them to come over, how could I have forgot!" Vay exclaimed, and unbuckled and jumped out of Barricade. "Sorry I should have told you.
"Do not worry," Barricade tried to calm the organic, "Just use caution when you arrive, and don't let the bug now I'm in the city." After Vay gave Barricade a small nod, He took off non a brisk jog, and left Barricade by himself.
"What have I gotten myself into?" The Con mulled over as drove away from Vay's living complex
