OK, time to change paces a bit. We Finally get to see the Autobots in this chapter.
Michelle felt nothing but emptiness take her over. There wasn't a sound to be heard, not even a creak to break the silence. The brown haired tomboy slowly opened her emerald eyes to see she was lying on her stomach. But what she was lying on was space. Stars filled the area, with Darkness to back it up. Michelle scrambled to her feet to look around. She did not know where she was. All she remembered was being attacked by the Decepticon called Blitzwing and nearly being killed. Until those two other robots, she remembered being named Bumblebee and Bulkhead saved her and her other friends.
"Where am I? How did I get here?" She pondered in the night. "Is this...a dream? Cause it can't be real. I would be dead if this was really outer space.....but it feels real." She folded her arms. "Maybe..this is one of those dreams that feels real?" She wondered.
"Michelle!" A voice called to her.
Michelle spun around to see Naomi and Katrina running towards her. They both stopped in front of her, a bit freaked out by all this.
"Katrina? Naomi? How come you're in my dream??" Michelle asked, surprised that the fact that her friends were talking to her in a dream was possible.
"Don't ask us! We don't know what's going on either! How come we can talk to each other in a dream!?" Naomi shouted, waving her hands around.
"Maybe we're all sharing the same dream. That explains why we're talking to each other now!" Katrina pointed out.
"But it's weird....why are we sharing the same dream??" Naomi asked.
Michelle shook her head. "Words fail me. But I wonder why we're standing in a starry area. Pretty odd area to be standing in a dream."
"You said it." but Katrina and Naomi shook their heads in agreement.
The three stood in the empty part of their dream, wondering what could have happened. Katrina looked at Michelle's Direction and gasped. She pointed. "Michelle, behind you!" She called.
"Huh??" Michelle uttered. She turned around to see a HUGE shadow towering over her and the other two girls. The silhouette resembled a robot, and it was the size of a planet.
Naomi Clenched her fists at the shadow, thinking it wanted a fight. "What the heck are you!? If you're here to pick a bone with us...."
Katrina slightly hid behind Michelle. "What is that?"
Michelle just stared into the shadow, mesmerized. A strange feeling occurred to her. The creature knelled down towards the girls, causing them to back away a bit. The shadow placed a finger on Michelle's chest. Michelle looked down at the hand, confused and dumbfounded.
Naomi got a bit closer to Michelle. "Dude, this is weird. Why is that thing pointing at your chest??" Naomi asked.
Michelle shook her head. "No clue, but..I think it doesn't want to hurt us. If it did, it would've done that by now."
Katrina shouted up to the bot. "Hey! Who are you?? Why have you come to us?" She asked the shadow.
The shadow removed the finger from Michelle's chest, and pointed straight ahead. Michelle, Naomi, and Katrina spun around to see a huge planet in front of them. Colors from Grey and white to blue and black decorated the planet. But it looked like it was made entirely from metal. The girls looked at it, puzzled.
"Eh? What the heck is that?? Some kind of alien planet?" Naomi asked, folding her arms.
Michelle turned to the shadow. "What are you trying to tell us??"
The shadow only nodded. It opened up it's palms and a brought light emitted from them. The light engulfed the girls, causing them th shield their eyes.
"What the heck is going on!?" Naomi shouted.
"What's this light!?" Katrina called. The girls looked to see the shadow had disappeared.
"Where did he go-" Michelle's words were swallowed by the light. The girls blacked out.
Michelle's eyes were closed for a minute. She was awake, but she decided to keep her eyes closed for a little longer. She could hear slight noises from several Machines. And from her eyelids she could sense some light in the area too. Wanting to find out more, Michelle slowly opened her eyelids, letting the light slowly get into her eyes and fully awake her. She sat up silently, but soon put her hand up on her forehead. Her head started to pound in pain. "Man...I feel like I've just been hit by a truck...." Michelle looked at her surroundings. She was sitting on some kind of medical table, only it was really huge. A pillow was where her head was, as well as a warm black blanket covering her. Tools and machines that were used in hospitals were all around the room.
Michelle was a bit stunned at her location. "If this is a hospital, then I must be in the future. These place is huge for a medical area...." Michelle looked beside her to see Naomi and Katrina laying peacefully on the table, covered in blankets with a pillow supporting their heads. Michelle gasped a bit and crawled over to their sides. She gently shook them. "Guys! Guys! Wake up!"
Naomi opened her eyes halfway. Yawning, she sat up and said, "What, it is morning already??" She rubbed her eyes.
Katrina sat up and let her eyes adjust to the light. "man, what the heck....one minute we were in a city and the next minute I'm being woken up..." She stretched her arms out. She looked around. "Where are we? Some kind of huge lab?"
Naomi observed her surrounding. "I think we're in some kind of medical room."
Michelle folded her arms. "Wonder how we got here??"
"So you kids decided to join the living, huh? Bout time." A gruff voice said behind them.
Michelle Katrina and Naomi spun around to the direction of the voice. There, standing near the table, was a huge red and white robot who looked like a 70 year old man. He resembled a lot like an ambulance. But despite his gruffness, he seemed like a really nice bot. All Three girls looked at him shocked.
Katrina squeaked and crawled behind Michelle, hiding. "who...who...who are you??" She asked.
Naomi went to Michelle's side. "Are you a friend or a foe?" She asked.
The red and white bot placed a hand up. "Calm down kids. I'm not here to hurt you. In fact, I'm the one who helped fix your woulds and set you up some beds to sleep in."
"Eh?" Michelle looked at herself. Bandages were on her arms, legs, and face. Naomi and Katrina had bandages on different parts of their bodies too.
Katrina looked at the red and white bot. "Well, you don't look bad....and you do look like the medic type...." She gave a small smile. "OK, I believe you then."
Michelle placed her hands behind her back. "So who are you anyway??" She asked the bot.
"Name's Ratchet. I'm the team's medic bot." The red bot said, folding his arms.
"Ratchet. Good to meet ya. I'm Naomi." Naomi said, giving a thumbs up.
Katrina peeked behind Michelle. "I..I'm Katrina." She said, slowly coming from behind her friend.
Michelle nod her head. "Name's Michelle."
"I know, bumblebee and Bulkhead told me what happened a few days ago." Ratchet nodded.
"Wait. We were knocked out for several days!?" Katrina exclaimed.
"Four days to be exact." Ratchet pointed out.
Naomi placed a hand on her head. "whoa. A long time to take a nap."
Michelle stared at Ratchet for a few. "...so is Bumblebee and Bulkhead the green bot and yellow bot from before??"
Ratchet nodded. "Right. They were the ones who found you after that fight with blitzwing. Gotta say you three have a lot of guts going up against a Decepticon."
"That's what the bad robots are called??" Katrina asked.
Naomi waved her hands around. "whoa,whoa,whoa! Time out! Start from the beginning. What are you guys, why did that blitzbrain attack us, and what's going on!? Please give us every detail."
Ratchet grunted a bit. "first, you should meet the others. They'll help explain to you three the details."
"There's more!?" Michelle shouted.
"seven bots total. And there's another human here too." Ratchet said.
"you have another person??" Katrina pondered.
Ratchet just held out a hand to the girls. "Come. They're in the living room waiting for you. Better to be introduced to the group than explaining everything."
"well....OK, since we're here and all." Michelle said as she hopped onto Ratchet's hand. Katrina and Naomi got up from their positions and followed Michelle. Ratchet exited out of the medical room and walked down the hallway.
The girls looked around the hallways as Ratchet kept on walking. "Wow, big place you got here." Naomi said, examining the mass space between the walls of the hallway.
"We need this much space with how big our group is" Ratchet simply explained, "especially with the hyper young bots we have."
"hyper young bots??" Katrina pondered.
Ratchet shook his head a bit. "Bumblebee would fit in that category. He usually has several bolts loose, I swear to Primus he does." He slightly grumbled at the thought.
"He seems like a pretty cool guy though." Michelle said, slightly chuckling.
"Well, you kids will like him and the others, I suppose." Ratchet assured.
"Speaking of which, where are we going anyway??" Naomi said, scratching her head.
"In the living room. Everyone should be there by now." Ratchet explained.
"Why are they all there??" Katrina asked.
"Ever since you girls came inured from the battle, everyone has been wondering if you were gonna be alright, since you've been knocked out for several solar cycles. And there's stuff we need to clear out."
"Stuff huh?" Michelle said. "Wonderful."
The sound of people chattering echoed through the halls. The girls looked forward to hear the sound. It was pretty loud too.
"...uh, I'm guessing that's everyone out there?" Katrina asked.
"Yeah. They've been really loud too. I'm glad their noise level didn't disturb you." Ratchet grumbled.
"I think we can walk from here. Can you put us down please?" Michelle asked.
Ratchet nodded and set all three down on the ground. Michelle looked at her friends and nodded as the four walked into the living room. Once they were in, there was a bunch of huge robots talking. Also, Michelle could see a little girl sitting on the top part of the couch, which was made of concrete. Two bots were Bumblebee and Bulkhead from before, but there was four new faces too; a red and blue robot who resembled a fire truck, a black and gold bot that looked a lot like a motorcycle, a blue and white bot that resembled a race car, and a blue and orange bot that looked a lot like a snow plow. The girl there looked about 8 years old with red hair pulled back into two messy pigtails, had dark skin and maroon eyes. She was wearing a large key around her neck, and a yellow and cream dress with orange boots. The blue and orange bot was complaining to the others. They did not know that Ratchet and the girls came into the room.
"Now we're being infected with more filthy organics!? Isn't one bad enough!?" He pointed at the red head girl.
"Hey!" She shouted, glaring at the bot that just insulted her.
"Sentinel, don't go involving Sari in this. These three were attacked by a Decepticon. They needed medical attention." The fire truck bot said.
The blue and orange bot, who was Sentinel, grunted. "Then you should have left them hurt! Doesn't matter if they're dead. They're useless, all of them!"
"Don't you dare call them that! They're nice people!" bumblebee shouted.
"Besides, you don't even know them yet! So how do YOU know who they are!?" Bulkhead shouted.
Sentinel growled. "All organics are the same. They're nasty, slime producing, totally weak and pitiful-"
"Cool it, Sentinel. This is getting us nowhere. We'll get this straightened out as soon as the little ladies wake up!" The white and blue one said.
Geez, what the heck is wrong with the blue and orange bot!? He's an idiot! Naomi thought. She did not like the bot at all.
Michelle took a deep breath, placed her fist clenched up to her mouth, and made a loud "AHEM" sound. Everyone turned around to see Michelle, her friends, and Ratchet standing there. The red head girl got up from her seat and slimed. "Speak of the devil! They woke up!"
Sentinel placed his palm over his face. "Oh slag..." he mumbled.
"You haven't noticed we've been standing her for a few?" Ratchet grumbled.
Everyone came over to where Michelle, Ratchet, Naomi and Katrina were. The red head girl came over in front of the three girls. The blue and red truck was the first to speak. "Well, all that matters is that you three are awake now. Scared us a bit after your four day nap."
Michelle placed a hand behind her back. "Yeah, if you got the beating of your life, you would be in the same situation."
"But uh, there's a lot of stuff I don't understand. Who the heck are you guys? Why was that decepticon attacking us, and what were those crystals we had??" Naomi asked.
The fire truck bot nodded. "We'll start explaining everything now. It's a long story...."
thirty minutes later....
Michelle, Naomi, and Katrina sat on the concrete couch with Bumblebee and Bulkhead while the rest of the bots were standing in a semi circle in front of them. The red head girl sat on the arm of the couch. The bots just finished telling their story, which Michelle and her friends slowly sunk into their heads.
"OK, so let me get this straight. You guys are called Autobots, and you're from this planet called Cybertron...." Michelle said, folding her arms behind her head.
"...you crash landed on earth 50 years ago and woke up half a year ago, while getting more recruits to your team..." Katrina continued.
"That crazy psycho clown bot is a Decepticon, who is like you, but evil..." Naomi said, scratching her cheek.
"And those crystals we found were part of a ancient artifact called the All spark, which is life to cybertronians with extraordinary powers...." Michelle continued.
"And you guys are trying to find the fragments scattered in this city??" All three girls asked.
The gold and black bot nodded. "That's pretty much the whole story."
"If Blitzwing wanted these fragments so badly, why didn't he just kill us and rip us apart for them??" Naomi asked.
"We have no clue, but maybe he wanted to take you girls to see what could be done with you. What that is, we have no clue." The firetruck bot explained.
"We also tried to find a way to remove the fragments from your bodies. But the fragments were attached somewhere in you three; where they are in your bodies is unknown. It's almost as if they attached to you like what humans call 'roots' " Ratchet explained.
"It seems like those fragments think you three are special and wanted you to protect them." The white and blue bot said while folding his arms.
Naomi placed a hand on her forehead and lied back a bit. "Boy, huge robots from outer space, powerful crystals and obtain unbelievable powers....this is a lot to take in one sitting."
"Well, now that's out of the way, I think it's time we should introduce ourselves." Ratchet suggested.
The fire truck bot nodded and looked at the girls. "Let me introduce our team then." He pointed at Ratchet. "You already Know Ratchet, the team's medic."
He grumbled a bit. The red head girl whispered. "He's grumpy a lot, but he's a really nice bot when you get to know him." The girls nodded.
The fire truck bot pointed at the motorcycle bot. "That's Prowl over there."
The motorcycle Bot nodded. "I'm a cyber ninja. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Awesome to meet ya, Prowl!" Naomi shouted with welcoming.
The fire truck bot pointed at Bulkhead and Bumblebee. "You also know Bumblebee and Bulkhead."
Bumblebee got in a "heroic" Pose. "Fastest thing on wheels..." he winked at Michelle. "And don't you forget it!" Michelle chuckled.
"Yeah, I'm clumsy, so I'm sorry if I break anything in the future." Bulkhead said nervously. Katrina giggled at his softness.
" I'm Optimus prime, the leader of the group." The fire truck introduced himself. Michelle and her friends smiled. "Nice to meet ya, Optimus!" Katrina said.
The blue and white bot gave a peace sign. "I'm Jazz, a cyber Ninja like Prowl. It's great to be hanging out with you little ladies!" He said. He looked at the blue and orange bot, who had his arms crossed and gave a really bad glare at the girls. "And that's Sentinel Prime over there. He's a Elite guard member too."
Sentinel just scowled. Michelle just gave him a face. Someone has anger issues. She thought.
The red head girl shook Michelle's hand. "And I'm Sari Sumdac. It's great to meet you three!"
Michelle laughed. "Great to meet you too, Sari!"
Sari asked, "So what's your names??"
"I'm Naomi!" Naomi gave a thumbs up.
"My Name is Katrina." Katrina greeted.
"The Name's Michelle." Michelle said grinning.
"Wow, those are awesome names!!" Sari exclaimed.
Optimus put a finger out for the three to shake. "It's nice to meet you, Michelle, Katrina, and Naomi. I welcome you in our group." Michelle and the other girls took his finger with one of his hands and shook it like a handshake.
Sari smiled. "yes! More girls in the group!"
Michelle laughed. Sari was so cheerful. Michelle has never met someone with a really good spirit besides Katrina and Naomi. And of course, her brother. Michelle looked at Sentinel, who looked at them with a disgusted look. Michelle looked at him confused. OK..that guy is starting to get me weirded out. He's been giving that face since we entered here. What's the big deal anyway?? Is he always like that? She thought in her mind.
Sari then grabbed Katrina's hand. "Hey, why don't you guys stay over here for a night?? I would love to know more about you! These guys would too!" She gestured to the bots.
"What? Is it OK?" Katrina asked.
"Sure! It's more than OK!" Bulkhead said warmly.
"That would be solid if you stayed with us for the night!" Jazz said with satisfaction.
"We'll party all night!" Bumblebee said, trying to encourage their new friends to stay.
"Well...." Naomi said. She looked at her two friends, who looked at her. The three nodded.
"Sure, why not?" Michelle smiled.
"YES!!!" Bumblebee and Sari both shouted.
Sari grabbed Naomi's hand. "Come on, let's go!!!" Naomi was dragged by Sari while Bumblebee picked Michelle up and placed her on his shoulder. Bulkhead did the same to Katrina. The two bots and Sari ran with their new friends tagging along. The other bots watched as they left. Ratchet shook his head and chuckled a bit.
The whole day long, Sari, Bumblebee and Bulkhead hogged Michelle, Katrina, and Naomi. When Michelle and Naomi said they loved video games, Bumblebee played his games with the two tomboys while Katrina, Sari, and bulkhead would watch. Later on, Sari wanted to play floor hockey with her new friends. Even Jazz met up with them and wanted to play. Agreeing, the girls, Sari, Jazz, Bumblebee and Bulkhead got sticks big enough for each of them and started to play outside the base entrance. The whole day was nothing but fun and laughter. For the first time since Michelle, Katrina and Naomi met, the three girls finally made more friends and started to have the most fun they have experienced in a long time.
A long and tiring day passed for Naomi, Katrina, and Michelle. "Well, since you guys will be staying for a night, you can sleep in my room." Sari explained as she, Michelle, Naomi and Katrina entered Sari's bedroom. Sari was setting up some sleeping places for her new friends to sleep in. The girls looked around; Sari's bedroom was big; a huge TV, stereos, several sections of possible Sari's favorite stuff to do, and a tire bed with pink covers.
"wow, so you live here huh? Pretty big room you have." Naomi said.
"bigger than my whole home." Michelle mentioned.
"Yeah, it's not fancy, but I call it home." Sari pointed to the floor near her bed where she placed three orange sleeping bags, opened and ready for someone to slip in them. "I finished fixing up some sleeping bags for you guys. Even after sleeping for a few days, you guys must be tired from today and meeting me and the autobots."
Naomi yawned. "Yeah, I know I am." Michelle and Katrina nodded in agreement.
Michelle, Naomi, and Katrina walked over to a sleeping bag, sat down on the open part of the bag, and slid their bodies right in. As they lied down, Sari got into her bed.
Michelle sighed. "Man, that was the first time in a while that I had real fun. Those bots sure know how to party!"
"Yeah, and they're really nice!" Katrina mentioned.
"They're awesome, huh? I love them to death." Sari said.
"It's gonna really be awesome being with these boys. And you, Sari." Naomi mentioned, "You're the coolest 8 year old I know."
Sari slightly blushed. "Aw shucks..." Sari turned off her light, and rolled over to her side. "Good night, guys."
"Night!" Katrina rolled to her side.
"Sleep tight." Michelle stayed on her back.
"don't let any nasty bed bugs bite." Naomi rolled on her stomach.
It took a while for the girls to sleep. So much has happened in a few days; and the excitement from today was still in their systems. By the time the girls did fall asleep, it was peaceful. Tomorrow would be a new day...
at long ;ast, chapter 7 is here. *claps*
so now the gals have been introduced to the bots. Oh, and this takes place shortly after "Mission Accomplished" but I decided to keep Sentinel and Jazz with the others. One, cause Naomi's love interest is Jazz, and two, Sentinel has a big role in this story, so he's left behind, to our dislike. and he will get nastier later, and his ego sized chin kicked as well. 3
and that huge bot that was in the gal's dream? I'm gonna not say anything and let you all guess who it is. if you've read the old version, you know who it is, but if you haven't read it, here's a hint: he's bigger than Omega Supreme, and he is a HUGE character. And for those of you who know, don't spoil it for the new readers please!
and I know that this story has been focused on Katrina, Naomi, and Michelle so far, but don't worry, Kairi and Selena will be in shortly, I'm just taking my time introducing all the characters, since in the remake, it was rushed.
