Transformers Animated: Different Angle
Chapter 3: We're in Animated!
Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers Animated
Kylie doesn't say anything as she continues staring at me, making me worry if she will start freaking out any second.
Instead she starts laughing.
"Jacy, you wish," she chuckles, shaking her head. "I mean sure we look like robots now, but transformers? Come on."
"Kylie, I'm serious," I tell her truthfully, "Those crystals we found, I think they were AllSpark fragments."
"I'm sorry, what?"
"AllSpark fragments were introduced in the second season of Transformers Animated. They're pieces of the AllSpark after it dispersed," I explain.
She just looks at me funny.
Riiiiiight, she never saw the series.
I sigh… well, more like vent...in frustration. "The AllSpark is this artifact so powerful that it can give life to transformers, but in the wrong hands it can be very destructive. The Autobots try to protect it from the Cons who were hunting it down, but at the end of season one, Megatron manages to get hold of it. In order for Optimus to stop Megatron from using it to destroy Earth, he had to disperse it, scattering AllSpark fragments all over Detroit."
Her expression changes a little. "What are you saying?"
"I'm saying somehow two AllSpark fragments got sent to our world and brought us here as..." I gesture towards me and her, "well THIS!"
She gives a light laugh as if she's in denial or something. "You're messing with me, aren't you?"
At this point, I snap. "Kylie! We're in a cartoon world as giant robots at Lake Erie! How the heck can I pull something off like this?!"
She looks at me, an unsure smile on her face. She glances around at her surroundings then back at me. Her expression drops. "You're not joking?"
"No!"
A look of fear sweeps across her face. "Y-you mean, we really are in a Transformers show?"
"Yes!"
She slumps down into a sitting position, baffled. "Just like that fanfiction you were reading,"she says wearily. She looks back up at me. "A-and you're sure?"
I count down the facts with my fingers, "The animation is the same, we're now giant robots, we're at Lake Erie, and that city looks a lot like Detroit. Yeah I'm pretty sure."
She places a hand on her head. "Oh boy," she says nervously. She then looks up at me with a confused look on her face. "Wait, so if those crystals were these…. fragments, how did they end up in your basement?"
"I don't know," I say, "Like I said, the AllSpark is powerful. Maybe those fragments were able to travel between dimensions or something."
"Is that possible?"
"Would we be here if it wasn't?" I point out.
"Good point," she says. Her eyes then widen. "Jacy? If we're transformers ourselves, what would happen if we run into a Decepticon?"
Soon as she asks this question, fear comes over me. I almost forgot how huge the cons are in this series. If we ran into one, or even two, it would not end good for us.
I gulp. "leeeets just pray that it never happens."
That doesn't help as she starts looking at me like a little kid being told there's a monster under their bed.
"Jacy, we need to get out of here and back home!"
That's when realization dawns on me, making the sick feeling return, "Uh, that might be an issue."
If she wasn't worried enough, the look she's giving me right now is proving otherwise. "Whyyyyyyyyy?"
I nervously scratch the back of my head, "Weeeell, the fragments were what sent us here to begin with, right?"
"Yeah?"
"And now…. We can't find them."
It takes a while for it to sink into her. When it does, she looks at me with horror, "You mean, we're stuck here FOREVER?!"
The next thing I know, she starts ranting and raving as she's pacing back and forth, still stumbling a little with her new legs. Even I have to admit, I'm terrified too. A part of me wants to fangirl, but the other part of me is concerned about the situation. All these mixed emotions is making me feel sicker with stress.
"Come on Jacy, think," I tell myself, holding my head. However, its hard to think when you're friend is busy having a spaz attack right in front of you.
"Kylie," I say, trying to get her attention, "Kylie, calm down."
She turns to look at me. "Calm down?!" she exclaims fearfully,"We're in a cartoon show where there's an alien robot war going on, we have no way to get back home, and, and…. And I have to work tomorrow! Oh, why couldn't we have been sent to Muppets?!
"Heaven forbid," I mutter to myself.
"What?"
"Nothing!" I immediately respond.
"Jacy, I want to go home! I want to be with my family! I want to be human again! Please tell me there's any other way we can get back!" she pleads.
I think for a moment, trying to push back the anxiety I'm feeling. Finally, an idea hits me. "Maybe there is a way out of here."
Her face lights up. "What is it?! Tell me!"
"I know for a fact that there are more then two AllSpark fragments here. If we can get our hands on a couple, maybe we can use them to go back home."
She frowns a little. "Maybe?"
I shrug. "There's no guarantee it will work, but its worth a try."
"And what if it doesn't work?"
"Then we'll find another way," I tell her.
She thinks on it for a moment. She looks back at me. "Soon as possible?" she asks.
I nod. "Soon as possible."
She lets out a venting sound as if she's sighing. "Okay. That makes me feel a bit better."
"Alright, we now have a goal," I say as she sits down beside me. We both look over at the city, allowing ourselves to relax a little.
"So, transformers huh?" Kylie asks nonchalantly.
"Yeah," I respond. Though the more I relax, the more the other part of me wants to come out. A big grin makes its way across my face.
"You're about to fangirl aren't you?"
"HECK YEAH!" I shout happily, jumping up. I laugh and scream as I jump up and down with excitement, even breaking out into a few random dance moves. No doubt I'm doing all this in an anime fashion.
"This is awesome!" I yell as I continue, "We're in Transformers Animated as transformers! This is so cool! This is really happening! Somebody pinch me!"
It's not until I calm down I notice something.
"Why can't I feel the ground?"
I look down.
"AAAAAAAAAAAH!"
I scream and flail as I hover in the air... 200 feet from the ground!
I hear Kylie shouting at me, only I can't understand what she's saying.
"Help!" I cry as I do a loop-de-loop. Man I don't like heights! I notice the thrusters are coming from the bottom of my feet as I keep losing my balance from being tossed back and forth. Frantically, I bang my feet together.
"Turn off!" I shout at them, "Cool it! STOOOP!"
I give them one last BANG. Finally, both thrusters turn off.
I sigh in relief.
Wait a minute….!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
SPLASH!
Next thing I know, I am sinking towards the bottom of Lake Erie. It takes me a while to get over my shock before I snap out of it, making my way across the bottom until I emerge from the lake. I spit lake water out of my mouth as I crawl back onto land, shaking very hard.
Kylie rushes over towards me, a look of concern on her face. "Are you okay?!"
I don't respond as I sprawl myself across the ground, relieved to be back on it.
"Never again," I say out loud, still shaking. Once I calm down, I get into a sitting position.
"Thank goodness you landed in the lake," Kylie says, standing beside me, "How did you know how to fly?"
I look at her in disbelief. "I didn't!"I exclaim. I look at the bottoms of my feet. Sure enough, I have thrusters.
"I must have been so excited I didn't realize I activated them," I say, standing back up.
Kylie shrugs. "Well, maybe the next time won't be so bad."
I look at her and let out a faint HA. "Yeah, there won't be a next time. I'm staying right here on the ground where its safe." I say, stamping my foot on the ground.
"Why not?" she asks, putting her hands on her hips, "you scared of heights?"
"No," I say, "I just don't like the idea of falling."
"Then don't fall."
I give her a look.
She just shrugs. "What about the expression, get back on the horse?"
"Not if that horse is a 100 feet tall," I argue. "Look, there is no way I'm going to try flying and that's that."
"But if you're a flyer, doesn't that mean you're a jet?"she asks.
I cringe at that, but at the same time I realize something. "Hey, if we're going to be staying here for the time being, we need to find ourselves alt modes to help us lay low."
"Good idea," She then looks at me funny. "Alt modes?"
I vent out a sigh. "Alternate modes. You know, vehicle modes."
"Oh right," she says as we start walking. We start off a bit wobbly still, but eventually manage to walk properly as we make our way towards the city. As we walk, I take the time to really look at our new forms.
Kylie's armor is baby blue with black for her under armor. Her helm is also baby blue and is round with a white stripe down the middle. She also has white round flat ended audio receptors with thick white metal antennas, one on each side, that went past her helm. Her face is a lighter shade of blue with big electric blue eyes, shaped similar to her usual cat eye make-up, and full baby blue lips. Her frame is similar to Bumblebee's cybertronian form, only more feminine.
As for my form, I have red armor on my forearms, shoulders, chest, and lower section while my shins are light gray with royal blue highlights along with blue feet. I can't tell if my under armor is black or just a very dark blue, but I do notice my upper arms are a much lighter gray compared to my shins. I look back at my wings. Like my shins, they are the same gray with a blue stripe across each one, and are perched upwards.
As we walk along the lake's edge, I look down at my reflection. I have a round red helm, round flat red audio receptors, and thick short blue triangular metal pieces that flip out from under the back of my helm, almost like hair. Just like my upper arms, my face is a very light gray and is round with big electric blue eyes and gray lips.
I love my look, however I'm hesitant about the wings for two reasons. One; I'd rather be traveling on the ground. And two; besides Jetfire and Jetstorm, only Decepticons are able to fly. What if I'm mistaken for a Decepticon?
And what if we run into a Decepticon? How can I protect Kylie? I took a self defense class when I was younger, but that was so long ago. Not to mention, it wouldn't be enough.
And what if we run into the bots? What the heck are we gonna say if they ask us who we are and where we came from? They might think we're nuts if we told them the truth. Then again if we lie, we will be asked questions we can't answer, digging us into a pretty deep hole. Maybe its best if we avoid them for the time being. That goes for the Cons especially.
"Hey Jacy! Wait up!"
I snap out of my thoughts as I turn to see Kylie trying to catch up. She hobbles a little as she runs then falls flat when she tries to stop.
I bent down to help her up. "Sorry. I forgot that I have longer legs now."
"No problem," she says, brushing the dirt off her. "So, how are we going to find… uh, what did you call them again?"
"AllSpark fragments," I answer.
"Right, those."
All I can do is shrug. "I'm not sure. We possibly might have detectors of our own built into us that can help, but even if we do, I have no idea how they work. I guess we just keep our eyes open for now."
"Oh, okay," she says sadly as we start walking again. "I hope we find some soon. My family must be worried sick right now."
"Yeah. Mine too," I say, silently hoping I can see my family again. "But lets not worry about that now. Right now we need to find vehicles to scan so we can blend in better."
We continue walking. It's not long before she speaks up again.
"Jacy?"
"Yeah?"
"You said those fragments were in season 2, right?"
"Yes."
"What if we're not in season 2?"
I stop in my tracks, realizing she has a good point. I pinch the area where my brow should be. "Lets just hope that we are in season 2."
"Why?"
"Because if this is season 1, then we have two choices. One, we wait for season two to arrive."
I feel sick just thinking about the next option, hoping there will be no need to come down to it.
"And two?" she asks curiously.
I let out a vent. "If we're really desperate… we go after the AllSpark."
And that was chapter 3! Was hoping to add a bit more into this chapter, but I didn't want it to run too long and have too much in one chapter. Anyway, now you get a better idea of what the girls now look like. Next chapter they find Alt modes. I also plan to have the bots arrive in this story soon, maybe in the next chapter or the one after, depending how much I put in. Either way, they will come very soon.
Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter, feel free to review, and hopefully I'll be back soon with chapter 4.
