Chapter 12
Weapons
Barricade looked at his sleeping pet, it was probably the most peaceful sight he had ever seen. He let Amelia sleep and walked over to a chair in the back of the room and watched over her. He knew that once she had slept for two hours, she was able to stay awake for a minimum of five days without any problems, thanks to Knockout. Barricade decided to power down for a few minutes as well because he had also been awake for quite a long time. Two hours passes and Barricade onlined his optics and focused on Amelia's, still sleeping, form. He got up and walked to the berth she was resting on, he raised a servo and shuck her a little in an attempt to wake her up.
Amelia woke up with a start and was on her feet standing in a defensive pose within a second. She relaxed a little when she realized it was Barricade who had awoken her.
"I see you're online." Barricade said to her.
"Yes Master." Amelia said as she lowered her head in a small bow.
"Do you need more fuel?" Barricade asked.
"No. No, I'm fine thank you." Amelia answered softly.
"Good. Training will start in one mega cycle, so get ready."
"Yes Master." Amelia said. She quickly walked over to where she had put her helm and put it on, she heard a small hiss as it clicked into place. Then she took out her blades and looked them over to make sure they were in tiptop condition. She did not know what cycles meant but she assumed it was similar to a minute or hour or something like that. Then she quickly did some simple but affective stretching and warming up exercises and transformed into a snow leopard and back again but keeping the legs because they were faster and more affective than normal human ones. Just when she was in the middle of one particularly tricky move, the door opened on she fell over onto her front and did a face plant. She quickly stood up and brushed the invisible dust of her armor, before looking up to see who had entered. It was one of the Dreads. He walked in and headed straight for Amelia and dumped something next to her. Amelia quickly hopped to one side as if he had just dropped a poisonous snake on the ground. The dread stepped back and waited for her reaction to what he had made her. Amelia looked at the box on the ground, carefully she edged towards it, kneeled in front of it and opened the lid cautiously as if it contained a bomb. She peeked inside and found probably the most beautiful things on earth, a bow and set of arrows. Amelia opened the box all the way and look the weapons out. The arrows were in a tube like thing but there was no strap, instead it had notches on it. She realized after a few moments that it attached to the armor on her back so she slid it on. The bow she had, also slid onto her back but before she stored it away she wanted to test it. She parted her feet a little and straightened her body, took one arrow from her back and put it in the bow before stretching it to its full length and looking for a target, she found a dent in the wall, she aimed and hit it head on. Satisfied, she slipped the bow onto her back. She looked at the box once more and realized it another layer, she removed the metal sheet to reveal what looked like a few grenades, a small shotgun, a sniper, something that looked like a tube of some sort and a metal rope. Amelia looked at the dread for answers because she had no idea what to do with these things. The Dread walked up to her and picked the metal tube up, took her right arm and attached it. Amelia looked at it and then saw what it was, it was a small arm cannon. It had red lights on the side that showed when it was ready for use and the top if it glowed a red color. Wile she was admiring her plasma canon, Crankcase had attached the grenades and rope onto her side. Amelia found out that the cannon transformed into her arm as well and smiled at that. She then picked up the sniper and attached it to her back and locked the shotgun onto her hip. The Dread nodded in approval and picked her up. Before they headed to the training room, the Dread walked to the wall and let Amelia pluck the arrow out of the wall and put it back with the other ones on her back.
