Chapter 39
The Einsteinium View of the universe states that four-dimensional space-time is warped by matter, creating the force we feel as gravity. What Einstein didn't know is that energy also warps and ripples through this four-dimensional fabric, and that when there is a disturbance of energy powerful enough, it can be felt by those who are sensitive to the web of energy that binds the universe together. Super Starscream, Master Galvatron, and Galaxy Convoy were such beings.
Emission's transformation sent out a wave of energy similar to that of the activation of the Chip Square. That ripple in space-time spread out, rolling along and continuing as it struck more than just those three.
On Speedia, Coby Rumble shot upright in his sleeping bag. His eyes snapped open, automatically looking for danger. Beads of sweat were forming on his forehead and his breath came quickly as his heart raced. He had felt something, but he didn't know what it was. Something had happened, and he wasn't sure it was good.
Lori, always subconsciously sensitive to her husband's feelings, woke up as well and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm not sure," Coby answered. "I thought I heard or felt something. It was probably just a late night racer outside." He snuggled back down into his sleeping bag. "Sorry for waking you. Good night."
"Night," Lori replied.
Galaxy Convoy left early the next morning for Seibertron, saying something about detecting a powerful energy signature. Skids left soon afterward, meaning that Coby and Lori were left alone, which was just what they needed.
"How does it look?" Rodimus asked after a few minutes of upgrading.
Lori looked at the readouts and huffed impatiently. "I don't get it. Your energy output isn't running the upgrades at full power."
"We have everything connected the way it needs to be. What else do we have to do?" Rodimus asked.
"Show me your schematics," Lori said. Rodimus pulled them up on the screen and she looked over them carefully. No wonder, she thought to herself. "Rodimus, how on earth can you expect to run efficiently in any form with your schematics arranged this way?" She began to type a few keys, changing the output variables. "Okay, now try it."
Rodimus revved his engine and whistled, "That's a whole lot better. Thanks, Lori. I guess you learn too well."
"Yes, I do," Lori smiled. "Everything checks up, you're ready to go."
Transforming back into his Human form, Coby gave her a grin. "Forgive me for quoting you, but 'I'm glad Skids isn't here right now,'" he said, kissing her.
"That's not quite what I said, but close enough," she answered, returning the kiss, and they began to make out.
All alone with the girl I love, Coby thought. It doesn't get much better than this.
But Coby was wrong, they weren't all alone. Soundwave watched them from his hidden position and shook his head. I'll never understand Humans, he thought.
