Chapter 6

Amelia woke up. She was still strapped to the same medical berth she had been knocked out on. After squinting a few times her eyes adjusted to the dim light that lit the room. Carefully she moved her arms and legs slightly to make sure she still had them. After stretching a tittle she turned her head, she immediately regretted the movement because her neck was extremely stiff and sore. She looked around herself but could not see anybody. After struggling for a few minutes, she nearly managed to get one of her hands too slip through the cuffs when the doors opened. She saw 4 large figures coming in. Amelia was petrified, she immediately lay very still with her eyes closed and pretended to still be asleep. She could hear the figures coming closer and closer to her berth, she clenched her sweaty hands into fists and set her jaw. Then the footsteps stopped, Amelia held her breath until one of the figures spoke.

"Its name is Starglider" Barricade said using his left servo to indicate Amelia.

"Hmmmm" Shockwave said thoughtfully.

"Do you think you can do it?" Barricade said as he looked at his pet.

"It's going to be tricky but I think I can manage." Shockwave said scrutinizing the little human.

"Did you upgrade it?" Barricade said to Knockout.

"Yes Barricade, she now has the ability to survive underwater, withstand cold weather conditions and she is also able to run fast for long periods of time."

"Good." Barricade said as a smile crept onto his face.

"Can I see her in action?" Shockwave asked knockout.

"Umm, well, she's never transformed into her other forms before, so I don't know what will happen."

"Well let's find out then!" Barricade said as he put his servos together expectedly. Knockout nodded and released the human from the metal straps that were holding her down.

Amelia felt the cold metal sliding of her writs and ankles, and let out a breath in a silent sigh of relief. But before she knew it she was being held up by both her arms and dangling 20 feet above the table she was on. Knockout walked to a gigantic tank, which was placed in one of the other rooms and waited for everyone to come in. When all four deceptions had entered and the door was closed, Knockout walked to the tank with the human in his servo.

Amelia did not know what was going to happen but she knew for one thing that it was not going to be pleasant, she was, after all, dangling over an enormous fish tank filed to the brim with water. Amelia felt Knockout's grip loosed and then a brief moment of falling before hitting the icy cold water. After a moment of sock, Amelia swam back up, but to her surprise knockout had placed a lid on top of the tank, therefor she could not emerge from the water and breath. Amelia nearly gasped in surprise but managed to stop herself just on time. She started to push the lid but it did not move, she pushed harder, still no success. Now she was becoming desperate for air, she swam to the side of the see-through tank and banged her fist on it and pleaded with the Decepticon's with her eyes. Her lungs were stinging, she tried with all she was worth to open the lid again but it did not budge. She was becoming numb, after her final push she stopped struggling and just let herself float down to the bottom of the tank, letting the air slowly slip from her lungs. The moment she touched the bottom of the tank, was the moment she breathed in. Still feeling numb and oxygen deprived, she took a deep breath. She let it flow trough her lungs and then slowly she let it back out in little bubbles. After inhaling a few deep, satisfying breathes she narrowed her eyes. Something was wrong, it was ether that or heaven was not what she had expected it to be. After a moment of though she realized that she was breathing, not just breathing, but breathing underwater. And the fact that she could not move her legs separately was also strange. She could not help but flip her legs up, only to find out that she had no legs, instead she had a silvery dark purple, scaly tail with two strong fins at the end. She could feel the fin that started at the beginning of her for head and ended at her tail fins on her back, tensing at her will. At the sides of her tail she had two fins as well. Her eye then traveled up her body, her stomach was still made from skin but it was now a light shade of purple and her chest it was also, thankfully, covered in scales. Then she looked at her arms, they looked similar to her stomach, purple and hairless. She looked at her lower arm, a small fin came out from the side of it and her fingers were webbed. As she was looking herself over, a strand of hair waved across her face. She looked up and took it between her thumb and index finger, first of all, she was glad she had hair, second of all, it was black and long. It waved around her weightlessly in a very serine and calming manner. After watching at her hair for a few minutes, she wiped her head around to where the Decepticons were all staring at her in wonder. She was pissed of at them for scaring her like that, and rudely stuck her webbed middle finger up at them. None of the Decepticons knew what the gesture meant, obviously, and just kept gazing at her. Amelia sat up, after a few smooth movements of her tail, she set of and tried to learn how to swim like a fish. At first she failed drastically, she was barely able to move forward or backwards for that matter, but after a few tries she got the hang of it. Swimming was easy really, just flip your tail up and down, to go right and left use your side fins and to go up and down just use your body. After learning the basic body movements, Amelia started to enjoy it, she swam up and down did loops and flips, sharp turns and so on. She then went to the side of the tank and saw her reflection, her face was the same but her blue eyes were black, completely black this included the white if her eyes, she looked like a demon. Then she opened her mouth and saw sharp, long, killer shark teeth and in it was a black and red snake tongue. The Decepticons just stared at the human in awe, she was after all a pretty sight and it was beautiful how the light reflected of her curvy, muscular body.

"You did do it I see." Barricade said not taking his eyes from his pet human.

"Yes Barricade, I did." Knockout replied

"Looks like I'm going to have to make transforming body armor then." Shockwave said sounding a little amused.

"Yes indeed Shockwave, I hope that is not to much to ask from you, is it?"

"No barricade, I'll manage."

"Good." Barricade left the room signaling the end of the conversation.
