Chapter 82

"Feel better?"

Lori smiled and backed further into Coby's embrace as his hand continued to caress her stomach. "Yes. Sorry if I was a pain in the ass."

Coby chuckled, "You can't help it. Like you told me earlier, it's different for every girl. For you, it just happens to hit hard and fast for two days, and then vanishes."

She sighed in pleasure, "I'm just glad you can make me feel better by rubbing my stomach like that. Are you going swimming tomorrow?"

"Not if you're not coming," he replied.

"Don't worry, I will," Lori said, kissing him before drifting off to sleep.

The next day was spent on the beach. The dads napped, the mothers talked, Bud tried to keep the Microns out of trouble while entertaining Trevor at the same time, Coby had snuck out far enough to turn into Rodimus and explore under the waves, and Lori tried to coax Emily into getting into the water.

"Come on, Emily," Lori said walking towards her, her black one-piece dripping. "You can't stay on that towel and sunbathe forever. Besides, your skin's already so dark you can't get a tan, not to mention that your green swimsuit doesn't really expose your skin."

Emily glared at Lori through her sunglasses, enjoying her control over her emotions. "Is there a problem with my swimsuit?" she asked. "It is as modest as yours."

"There's no problem with it," Lori sighed. "Just come swim. It's fun!"

"No thank you. I do not see how needlessly drenching yourself in salt water could be fun," Emily answered. She looked back up and her eyes narrowed, "What is that?"

Lori looked up and squinted, "I'm not sure." Then alarms began to ring and lifeguards – both Human and Transformer – began shouting instructions.

"Evacuate the beach immediately!"

Everyone immediately got up and began to grab their things and run. The Rumble Team appeared, taking what seemed to be defensive positions on the shore. Lori and Emily were the last to leave, as they had to wake up her dad from his rather heavy sleep. Then Lori stopped, her eyes wide.

"Coby's still back there!" she yelled, turning and running back.

"Kaa-san! Wait!" Emily yelled, before following.

"Lori!" Mr. Simmons yelled. He tried to follow, only to be forced back by a lifeguard. "No! Stop! My daughter just ran back!"

Emily caught up to Lori quickly, and they both began scanning the now empty beach for Coby. Rumble One turned to regard them, but then turned his attention back to the object in the sky. Then Coby burst from the waves and hurried toward them. Lori ran forward and grabbed him in a bear hug before they began running, hearing the Rumble Team behind them start shooting. They hadn't gone far when something struck the sand behind them, causing them to pitch forward. Coby's head struck Lori's upon impact, stunning them temporarily. Emily looked up to see Skywarp swoop in and transform, barreling towards Rumble One.

Rumble One faked a fall and kicked hard, sending Skywarp crashing back into the water. Rumble Two and Rumble Three transformed into their insect-like alternate modes and attacked, clinging to the purple Transformer and firing at point blank range. Rumble One joined in as Skywarp tried to shrug them off. Unfortunately for him, the Rumble Team already had their plan in motion, and they were winning. Knowing it was going to hurt him, Skywarp did the only thing he could do. He fired his missiles again.

He had been too far away to strike them before hand, but now with them swarming him, there was no way he could miss. While the missiles did blast the three off of him, the explosions also damaged his already weakened armor. Rumble One was in stasis, as he had taken two of the four missiles, and his arm was blown off at the elbow. Rumble Two was better off, still having his limbs, but was unconscious. Rumble Three was worse off than her brothers, as the missile that hit her had sheared off her leg at the hip, and she was still conscious. Skywarp grinned and moved toward her, leveling his weapon to finish the job.

"You bastard! Leave her alone!"

Skywarp turned to see Emily standing behind him, livid with rage, and smirked. "Fine, then," he muttered before swooping forward and grabbing her. He flew up high into the air before tossing her up, "You first. I never liked Humans."

Emily knew she was falling, and knew that in Human form, she couldn't survive. Thought she had never managed to change to her true Xian form, she knew it was now or never.

I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die.

The power she felt before when she thought that was pulsing through her. She embraced it, putting all her concentration on one hope.

Come on. Come on.

She angled herself towards Sywarp, gritting her teeth as the ground got closer.

Come on! Come on!

Skywarp leveled his gun at Rumble Three once more.

Come ON!

Orange energy flashed and engulfed her. She felt herself change instantly as she tackled Skywarp from behind. She slammed him into the sand, flipping over him and landing on her feet. She turned towards him as he stood, mouth agape in shock and surprise. She smiled inwardly as her blue visor glowed, "I'm not Human. I'm Emission of Planet X."
