She wants to save everyone but to do so, she must help herself first.
I made a post before this on. talking about the discord server that i have made. Since no one seen it or cared enough. I going to talk about it here. I was thinking my character was over powered in this chapter. so I made a post and was saying how I posted chapter 7 there and wanted some feedback. I posted on July 15th. a good 5 days before this one. So I left the chapter the way it is.
So if you want to join the discord comment: the robot you like. I will send you the link for the story
I went back to my bag and began to dig. After I found my Nokia 1011 phone, a car door open sound filled the car.
“Good hold this.”
I handed him my phone and continued digging. When I felt the plastic case. I yank it out. so, I can grab the leopard glass and a security bandage with the four diamonds likes symbol. The same diamond as my pencil case. I was beginning to put on the glasses
“Sliver what you are doing.”
“don’t worry about it.”
“Why you are complaining, she looks good.”
“I will tell you this since it won’t go against Kris promise. when you see the things, I seen. You learn how to make your paths easier. I can't tell you anymore than that.”
I saw a yellow beam when, we were beginning to drive. it must have been that energy surge. Arcee was talking about. Grabbing my phone from Noah.
“Noah please hold this,” I traded Noah the phone for the badge after I toss my bag in the back.
“I must make a phone call. Mirage, please take control so I can concentrate.”
I quickly dial a number that I know by heart. The ringers didn’t even go to the second ring when he picked up.
“YOU BETTER EXPLAIN WHATS GOING ON!!!”
I pulled the phone away from my ear when he began to screaming. mirage was laughing for some reason and begin to say drama and sing song like voice.
“k plea- “
“NO EXCUSES. WE ARE RECIVCEING A MASSIVE ENERGY NEAR YOUR LOCATION. I KNOW FOR FACT THAT YOU HAVE A HAND IN THIS. SO, YOU BETTER START TALKING.”
I heard another one of mirages smart ass remarks. It was the ‘uh oh someone is in trouble.’
“K I don’t know what’s going myself.” I lied.
“I know your lying.”
“Dam it!” I said in frustration. “I will explain the best I can later. We got at least 15 minutes until I arrive and cause mayhem.”
“Not until I get at least something.” k can be very stubborn when it comes to someone he cares about. There only one sentence I know that can make just go along with whatever I say.
“I am trying to help a family get home.”
“Wait like human home or us home.”
“Us. this is there only way right now.”
“Wait until I get there.”
“There is no time. I need you on that computer that’s 2 ft to your left.” I heard him growl, but he I hear a chair roll.
“Fine. I want a story when its safe.”
“I promise. I need you. get to Ac and Sc files and find anyone that would still be there.”
Are ten minutes from arriving the campus
“You mean the ones still on campus?”
“You got it. get T. and V. to help. I need you to make them leave.”
“All right got all 900 people. Starting to send messages. Hey t and v get to your computers and start typing. Boss says so.”
I heard some shuffling in the back.
“Good, have them say there loved one is in hospital or Their place is on fire. if you need to get someone to pull the fire alarm. Get someone to pull the fire alarm. Anything to get them to leave. Hell, if need used the symbol on anyone who there I don’t care just get them gone.”
“Okay. the messages are starting to send, is there anything else?”
“Is Jason v. Armstrong. working at all tonight?”
“You are right, he should be at the security booth.”
“Call him and get him to let-
I looked at the badge Noah was holding
“Sarah J. Kelly though.”
I leaned back in the driver seat. acting like I was driving once again.
“Okay I will call him after. it won’t be any problem.”
We were down to 5 minutes
“Do you want me to see Cam to hack the security cameras.”
“Good call. Give it an hour before they come back up.”
I hear more shuffling in the back.
“T. said that he can't get a hold of Elena Wallace. She will be in the college. The same place that energy spike is at.”
“Alright If I see, I will do what I can. Keep trying to reach her.”
“k I hear talking in the background. speak to me.”
“Got it I will call after.”
“You better women or so help me, I will drag you back by the skin of my teeth if I must. You will have stuck her until we are old grey.”
“I know you will. Friends forever.”
“We never surrender.”
I hang up and tosses the phone next to my bag.
“You, young lady is amazing.” Said mirage.
“Sliver what was that?”
“My way in making sure no one gets hurt friends.”
No other questions were asked. We began to pull up to the security booth and as soon as I showed him the badge. He didn’t look twice. He opened the gate and began to pack up around his desk. we just roll in like we own the place. Once he stopped in a random parking spot. I jump out began walking to the doors.
“Sliver wait.” He was a good few steps behind me. I pushed the door open and began going up.”
“Sliver, wait I want to talk.” Noah grabs my hand. pulling me to a stop. “Please at least explain how you did all that.”
“I can't tell you that. if I do, you will be drag into something that is far too dangerous even for me. I promised your brother I will keep you safe and keeping my mouth shut is a must, then so be it.”
“Then why help them.”
“I will tell you what, I told Optimus. I know what it’s like trying to get home.”
I began to run up the stair. Just trying to outrun him so he doesn’t go farther down the rabbit hole Like Alice did with the white rabbit. I am trying to my promise. I will not drag you into the life I have. once I saw the door. I busted it open without a second thought.
When I was in the same daydream land again.
I was in a middle of a forest. the same forest that Apeling was in. the same surface of grass and tree like statues around me.
“how did I get here?”
Really how did I go from opening a door inside a building on earth to a planet I only saw once. I heard movement to my right. when looking at the sound there was a dull orange blob coming at me. the closer it came the more it began to take shape. It was a Cheetah, but not the ones on earth. This one was larger than the ones on earth. They had more of an orange coat, then its classic yellow. Also, Its eyes where a very bright green. Aren’t cheetahs supposed to have yellow eyes?
what really caught my attention was where he was heading. Right for me. I went into fetal position. I don’t know why I did that, but I did. I was never flattening like a pancake. I felt a chill in my spine. The feeling I had with Apeling. I became a full human when I saw the cat was becoming a wobbly blob again.
I felt a breeze pass me; a grey rhino was following the cat.its seems like no one is noticing me.i might not be able to get hurt in this dream like land. Wait, am I a ghost. My thoughts where interrupt when the sound of rustling trees filled my ears. I look up and saw Apeling, but it wasn’t really Apeling. The ape looked a lot smaller and more childish. Then a bird was following closely behind the primate. The birdie looked like a raven but completely metal and with a beautiful tint of blue.
A “I can do this.” Sound was coming from where the other animals where coming form
Was coming behind me. a very dark navy-blue blob was coming closer and closer. She had an outline of a wolf. The navy coat had a dot of yellow dots, mad her fur look like a night sky, with little stars at night. there was a fire is in her eyes. Nothing was going to stop her. the more she said the line the faster she was becoming. the walking night sky was passing each animal one by one. the more living beings she passed the more confident she gotten. Before anyone knows it, she was in second place. The dog and cat were neck to neck. Both determine to not let the other pass.
“Come on Midnight. You can't pass me. so, stop while you can.
“I not giving up that easily.” The finished line was feet in front their face was nearby.
While the cheetah kept trying to decrease the dog confidence. Mr. Kitty Cat didn’t notice the little pebble in the path. didn’t notice a little pebble. With him focusing on the wolf. His paw stumble on It. the stumble gave the wolf a better chance to jump ahead. Giving midnight the win. She was holding the stick in her mouth. Once she dropped it.
“Who the fastest now?”
“I let you win.”
“Keep telling yourself that.” While the canine was rubbing the win in the cheetah face. The others came through. Rhino was 3rd. bird was 4th and the ape was 5th.
“See sis, I told you can do it.” said the rhino.
“You were right Rhinox. I had to just believe in myself.”
“I let her win.” Said the cheetah.
“Keep telling yourself that.” said the bird.
“As much as this was fun, me and Star have to go.” said the ape.
While both party wave goodbye to each other. I stayed with the other 3.
“I did let her win; I just didn’t want to see her cry.”
“I appreciate your concern for my sister, but everyone say you stumble.”
“I didn’t stumble.” said the frustrated cheetah. When no one was going to believe his lies. he spit out ‘I going to hang with rattrap.’ Then began to run again.
When the last two left saw the orange furball was far enough. The bird saw her opportunity.
“Rhinox, can I ask you are personal question?”
“Go ahead Air-razor.”
“How do you feel about their feelings for your sister?”
“it’s complicated. As a big brother, they both don’t deserve her. she can do so much better than those two. But as their friend I have seen them grow over the years. They aren’t full mature, but they are better then Tigerhawk and Inferno. I learned I can't choose who she likes but if she is happy. That all that matters.”
After he finished his sentence. Everything was twisted. It twisted into a new scene. I was back with Midnight and the little ape.”
“So, what do you think Apeling wants to tell us.” midnight asked
“Something about a key.”
“Why would we need to know?”
“I don’t know. we might want to know everything we can right now before we become leaders.”
“You mean you will be.”
“We both have the chance.”
“No, you are Optimus Primal. You are the best person to lead. You lead all the group actives.”
“you are right about that, but you are the one that has all the ideas. I do apprentice the confidence boost, but don’t put yourself down.”
“I’m ju- “
Before they could continue their conversation. They walk into a cave. Where the real Apeling was standing. He was staring over the land. Kind of like Simba and Mufasa in lion king. When Mufasa says ‘everything that touches the light is your’ scene.
“Hello young ones.”
“Hello.” The little ones say.
“Today lesson is going to be special one.”
“Is it about the key?” ask Optimus.
“You are right. the key also comes with a legend. That precedes the dawn of our civilization. there is a vile god so large and so powerful, he has to consumed entire planets for fuel. That god is name Unicron.”
“isn’t that myth. We don’t need to worry about this god.” Said the Primal.
“It Could be a myth, but we aren’t for sure. It could be real for all we know.” said the wolf.
“Star is right. if he is real, he will be after this.” Apeling gotten up and walked inside the cave. Around a pedestal with a floating diamond thing. “If Unicron gets his hands on transwarp key. there is no way to stop him. “
“What is a trans-swap key?”
“Transwarp key. have been among our kind for generations. it allows us to go from universe to another.”
“So, if Unicron gets a hold of the key. he could open a portal. To eat other worlds?” Ask Optimus.
“Yes. There will be nothing in his way.”
“But isn’t there a way.”
“What do you mean.”
“In the records before the great war. They were saying something about a sister.”
“You mean brother and yes. Him and his twin brother (Primus) would fight for centuries. Unicron himself wanted to consume the universe. Getting rid of the good. So, there is nothing left but a void of torment. Primus had other ideas; he saw that there was good in freedom. He fought his brother time and time again. trying to keep the balance to the two sides. The legend says that Primus defeated Unicron each time. he was toss in a void to never be seen again. Said Apeling.
“Shouldn’t Primus have this instead of us.”
“That is a mystery that could not be solve.”
“Why is that?” Primal finally spoke up.
“We lost contact with Cybertron eons ago. with time information gets lost. Data pads get lost or destroy. without proof, all we know is that Primus and Unicron are myth.”
“That’s why they are myths? Ask Midnight .
“Yes. That is why if there even is a chance that Unicron is real. We need to guard the key from him and whoever is under his command.” Said Apeling.
“We promise to protect the key with our lives.” Said Both or the younger Maximal.
That when the vision started to change back to the museum room. rubbing my eyes trying to get eye site back. I was facing the window that lead outside for some reason. I heard chatter in the back. a girl voice said something about stealing museum property. I couldn’t fully make out the conversation. Once my vision was clear and I can see everthign like before. I saw three bots. The other 2 where unknown but when my eyes landed on the centered being. was Scrouge. Same one form Apeling vision. Nothing about seeing him said safe. I saw his hand turn into a canon, that’s when I knew we were in trouble. Seeing that it was powering up and aiming at us I turn.
Hi! Can I request promt "my whole world in my hands" but only with Cyclonus, if that's ok?
Decided to merge the two, so it isn't just one character.
Mtmte Swerve
Movie nights were a must with Swerve. He always wanted to watch something new with you. Mostly romcoms, but he always listened to you and what you wanted to watch.
And after, the two of you would discuss said movie for hours on end. Swerve never understood how he had gotten someone as you in his life. This little human, who didn't care about his quirks, but loved him for it.
He wasn't used to it. Most people would tell him to shut up. But you would just sit patiently, and listen to him rambling. And to his big surprise, you remembered a lot of what he would talk about.
"Swerve?" He snapped out of his thoughts, gazing down at your form in front of him. Laying on your shared berth. He hadn't even noticed until now, that you had paused the movie.
"Are you okay, honey?" Honey, a common nickname. You had told him he was as sweet as honey. "Oh, ye-yeah. Fine, just, in my own thoughts."
You weren't convinced, but you didn't want to fight over it, so you continued the movie. He fell back into his thoughts, just staring, never commenting on the movie, like he use to.
You paused it again, to see if he would notice. But he didn't, he just stared. "Swerve." He gazed down at you. "You can tell me if there's something wrong."
You sat up, blocking his view of the television. "I-" He lowered his optics, not sure if he should say anything. "I'm just worried, I guess. Li-like not of anything in particular. Just, well, what if you don't like me. I always talk so much, and, and."
He kept rambling, his mouth being able to stop. You stopped his rant when you took hold of his helm, one hand on each cheek. "Swerve. I don't know where I would even go, if I left you. Cause I have my whole world here. And I don't know what I would do without it."
Your voice was soft and comforting, a just as soft smile on your lips. Oh what did Swerve do to deserve you.
Mtmte Cyclonus
Cyclonus belting his songs was a usual day. And if it had been anyone else singing, you would have thrown them out of the airlock. But this was Cyclonus, your conjux.
You understood why he sang them so often, as it was the only thing he had left from his home. You could understand that, maybe not relate, as you still had Earth, but understand.
You always sat somewhere nearby whenever he sang, just doing your own thing, as it could go on for hours, but Cyclonus was still appreciative of your company.
You two did that a lot, just sitting near each other, doing your own thing in silence. Like cats do. All you truly needed was each others company.
You could even count how many times you had said I love you to each other on one hand. You mostly showed your love in gifts, time and many other things than just words.
"Hey, Cyclonus?" He stopped singing. It wasn't usual that you would interrupt his singing, but he would always stop if you asked. "Can I show you something? Tailgate showed me how to do a fun trick."
Tailgate and Whirl was the biggest supporters of you two, always cheering you on and helping you get even closer. "Come over here." Cyclonus complied, always ready to do what you say.
He kneeled in front of you on your berth, his helm close. You wrapped your arms around him, as you always did when you wanted to hug him. "I'm holding my whole world in my arms."
Cyclonus chuckled. "How nice. Oh, how much I love you, my little mate." He picked you up, carrying you over to the window, wanting some lone time with you in his own arms.
@auntabysmal
You know that thing, the spring rim? (the little soft plate that has the springs with the balls on it. Headband? My translator doesn't produce a proper word for it )
--------
Everyone keeps forgetting Rung name. It doesn't please Rung, he feels tired, forgotten and disrespected, it doesn't please Y/N, she feels angry and resentful. When someone says his name wrong, the girl, if she around, always shouts (literally yells) her friend's correct name.
Later, she is sitting on the Internet, scrolling through the tape, and sees a rim with springs. She takes a long look at the photo and quickly gets the idea.
Y/N was doing this for the first time, Ten got her the parts she needed, and he also helped her. He looked interested and curious when she showed him the picture of the rim and what to do.
When the headband was ready, the girl went with Ten in search of Rung. Ten hid the small gift in his subspace, so that no one would see it before its time, and the gift itself wouldn't break.
- Rung!
The girl sees Rung and runs up to him, who greets her with a smile. He saw that the human seemed to be glitters with unseen happiness and raised his eyebrow in curiosity, waiting for her to share her thoughts. He looked at Ten with whom Y/N had come and put his hands behind his back, tilting his helmet sideways - his Y/N had definitely thought of something interesting!
The girl interrupts her gaze, looks around for him, and seeing Rodimus passing by, calls out to him. He approaches.
- Hello, Rodimus. What is the name of our therapist?
She points in the direction of a surprised Rung.
- Hello, Y/N! Hmm...Ring?
Rodimus smiles as he looks at the girl. He sees her frowning and looking away as if thinking about something, he does not attach importance to, and goes further down the corridor.
- Y/N? Are you okay? - Rung looks flustered and walks over to the human - Or did you want to check on something?
- I'm fine Rung! - She looks in his direction with a new smile, then turns to Ten. He takes something out of his subspace, comes closer, and slips it on Rung helmet.
Rung freezes, definitely not sure what's going on, but he can feel the object on his head. His hand lifts and touches and examines the shape of the strange gift - he realizes that it has a bezel with sticks on it, and letters on the ends. He removes the headband to see what he is wearing.
On the ends of the sticks were the letters of his name.
The therapist doesn't have time to say anything, the girl calls out to someone who walks by again. Skids and Nautica. Ten carefully puts the blindfold back on Rung head.
- What's his name? - Y/N points to the orange bot again. The Autobots look at her perplexed, trace the direction of her hand and want to say the name, but stop when they see the letters above someone else's head.
Rung expects to laugh, but no one laughs. The couple looks serious.
- Rung....
They answer. The human nods and smiles contentedly, and the bots leave with Teng, realizing that nothing more is required of them.
Rung stands in utter amazement, feeling strangely pleased that his name has been pronounced correctly, and at the same time embarrassed that he has such a pattern on his head. He looks at the happy Y/N, expecting her to explain everything to him.
- Sorry Rung! I really hate it when everyone confuses your name! You look so unhappy because everyone mispronounces your name. Your name is simple, and no one can remember it!
She let out a frustrated tirade and stomped her foot a couple of times in anger. Rung didn't interrupt her, listening.
- Yes, it was a kind of experiment. But did you see how serious they were, reading the letters on the rim? Yes, the construction isn't perfect, and it could break at any moment, but I haven't found any other option...
Rung takes a seat next to her on his lap, and the girl is silent, looking at him guiltily.
- I'm not offended by you. It makes me feel good that you remember my name and call me right, it makes me feel alive. You want to help. But you know... I... I could try wearing the headband for a while, do an experiment.
Bot holds out his palm to Y/N, and when she stands on it, he sets it on his shoulder. The girl kisses his temple with a smile, silently agreeing with his words. And they walk further down the corridor.
Y/N hopes that the crew will someday remember her sweet Rung's name and he won't feel so forgotten and lost.
I am sorry for everything. I have been struggling with this story and other things. I been struggling just sitting down and doing it. I struggling with my depression and anexity. I have a lot going on. hopefully. I will get more Energy soon. so enjoy the story.

“Oh, come on honey. You need to relax.”
“I know my gem. I am just worried.”
“Your brother has promise you that this will be the safest spot. He will never find us here.”
“That might be true, but Unicron is full of surprises.”
“Sliver. sliver.”
I felt like someone was violently shaking my body. I must have pasted out when I hit the floor. Why did I do that again? opening my eyes my vision was blurry. Still dizzy I jumped into action. I just had a feeling that I need to get up. When I saw Noah eyes, everything was coming back to me. I see Elena running out of the room.
“Go” I pointed at the door. He was a few steps ahead. I put my hands on the table so I can give myself the last push. I felt something pressing against my hand. when I completely got off the ground. I saw that it was a gem a red gem. It went into my pocket. There was no time to looked at it. I started running after them. There were multiple statues of the bronze age. I also saw a metal spider that was about to attack the girl. Without thinking I grab the spear and just toss it at the metal spider things before it touches a single hair on her head. I don’t know how I got it square in the head. the was way I move it felt like I tossed it multiply times. Felt like this was not the first time I have held a spear. I know how to fight in many ways, but never with the spear. Seriously, this my first time hold a spear.
“Sliver move.”
That right no rabbit hole, right now. even though I want to continue. I saw both people run to the doors. I followed they slammed the door after I went through. They began to barricade the exit. I was trying to get my heart back to normal. Well, more calmed down. Looking at both, I whispered a thank you. they nod and your welcome back. they lead and I follow. Lasers were flying everywhere. Explosions coming from anywhere. Out of the noises there was one line that was getting louder. One sentence kept getting louder.
“Put me down.”
The wooden pergola was mash to bits because mirage was tossed on it.
“Oh, that was so scary.” Rolling over and looking at us. “Oh, cool your still alive!”
Once mirage was on his two feet. We hear crashing behind us. there were those robot spiders again.
“Sliver, Noah, get out of here.”
Mirage ran right to the metal insects. The three of us just ran. We had no real destinations. Just anywhere that had no explosion. All the sudden we were getting shot at, by the orange guy. when we reach the stone pillars. So much was happened, and my curiosity kept want to look around so fast. I could go and look. My survival instincts said no though. Ahead of me I heard Noah and Elena say something but couldn’t understand it. Arcee somehow gotten above us and said, ‘get out of here.’ then did a battle cry. we were in the parking lot when a small metal ball hit the ground a few feet in front of us.
“Move.” I said and yanking both of their arms. Then everything just flashed. I was flung backed, releasing their arms. My head hit the ground again making it hurt. My eyes saw some flashes. They were moving to fast. I couldn’t make and any sense.
It looked like a family. big metal people like mirage and his kind. Two brothers and a sister. Sister looks younger, maybe by two years. Then the girl maybe a teen or early 20s, was kissing a guy. My eyes filled with red. And hearing someone screaming ‘Run, my little Nova. Keep them safe.’
I don’t recognize any of this. who the hell is the three people. who was this, Nova. what is going on? when my ears and eye stop ringing. I hiss in pain as I pushed my back off the ground. When the purple flyer landed on her feet.
“don’t be frightened, humans. This'll all be over soon.”
“don’t count on it.” I spoke out of nowhere. With confidence that was nowhere in me. My voice said that before my brain thought it.
She just chuckles, grabbing the key then flying off. I began to get on my feet when I began to hear metal clashing behind me. looking away I saw scrouge stepping on primes back.
“You call yourself a prime. Primus would be ashamed.”
Seeing the yellow bot scrambling towards scourge with the axe. Trying save his leader. Failed when scrouge turns around and stabbing bee. Bee whimpers in pain and dropping the axe. I was getting the strength to getting back on my feet.
“I am tired of little things getting in my way.”
“No….no not again.” I whispered.
I saw he was moving his blaster, to the yellow one’s heart. I am guessing.
“NOOOOO!”
Out of instinct I toss the gem I found in the lab earlier. It landed on what would be a human ankle. It attached. like it was made of metal and was had a magnetic pull. How can a stone turn into a magnet. I couldn’t think of a how, but the stone was in the air with the bot. with no sign of it falling. It turns from red to a purplish blue.
When scrouge pulled the trigger. The blaster went off. They both went flying. bee was flung but the closer he gotten to the ground. the slower he became. When he was inches. Of the ground. he lands with a light thump. While scourge was flung, like A kid tossing his toy across the room. The power of the blaster somehow lifted thousands of specs of dirt. Bits of stone, dirt, concrete, and dust was in the air. It somehow made it look foggy. So much that everyone, robots, and humans. Lifted their arms or turned away to cover their eyes.
Noah Diaz
When the dusted began to settle again. I saw the black and yellow bot on the ground. Showing a bluish-purple beam. it was not enough to replace the yellow color schemes. Optimus was running to his hurt comrade. Just looking around. I just wanted to see all the damage. I saw something moving in the corner of my eye. There were footprints appearing in the grass. Almost like bigfoot came around. The feet kept appearing, like a ghost leaving prints. There was no indication off a being there. bits of rocks began to float up from the ground. no massive rocks. Like a human hand size rock.
One of the bad guys threw a pillar. the pillar was aimed at the invisible bigfoot. stone turn from a white stone to a blueish purple glow, seem like the purple was slowing it down. gave a good resistance. About 5 inches form invisible man, it froze. Leaving the foundation flying in the air with a periwinkle glow.
The bubble was toss in the ocean. Without a care in the world. Then a purple glow was around the only aliens that was trying to hurt mirage and his friends.
they tossed to the edge of the island. Getting up off the ground. doing their best to get in to fighting pose. Trying to be quick on there feet. They were stumbling to get on their feet.
Mr. leader was doing what all classic villains do when they get up. he was doing it all full of himself stance. One thing was for sure, whatever thing was making the rocks float They were ready to do some more fighting.
“LEAVE!”
This voice had power. Like queen power. It made me want to leave. When the leader was standing up. he did a wicked villain laugh. The laugh that the craziest of villains do. it just missing lighting to go with the rhythm.
“Looks like we got a neutral.” Said Scrouge
“Maybe we get a real fight,” said a purple bot.
There was a screech. a massive metal bird was flying above all of us. it put a wall of flame between good and the. Bad.
“Maximal.” Said the third wheel.
“This is definitely going to be a real fight.” She was getting ready to get her weapons out.
“No. We got what we came for.”
The bad guys were running away. this is the first time that villains got away with what they wanted. They didn’t do the classic I going to keep fighting, because we are so full of ourselves and overconfident.
Sliver
When the flames were put up. the ones behind it became nothing of importance. Know the fire put the fight to an end.
“BEE?”
Everyone turn shiny yellow bot. yellow was getting brighter and brighter. while the purple was shrinking. It may have been shrinking but it was still there. they all try to touch bee. They were shocked back. like those electric fences. All of mirage and his friends were filled with shocked. the bird landed and began to talk.
“We must go now. Come with me.”
This metallic bird was gorgeous. Form its yellow eyes to the shiny metal that was on her body. When I really looked into her eyes. My mind went back to that race that I saw early. The falcon was the bird that was following. This flying being was from there.
“Air razor” I whispered.
I don’t know how I don’t know when, but we found another abandon area. A place where all of them can be safe to un transform. Bee was put to the side. leaving Noah and Elena, I went to where my gem was and tried to pull it off. I didn’t get shocked. The gem was stuck there. it wouldn’t come off. I went to his face and pat it. my hand glowed green like it did with apeling. I sat down and left my hand there.
“What happen?” I whisper. Hopping the wind would give me an answer.
“The gem has put him in a state of unconsciousness.”
“Why is that?”
“Scourge has done a lot of damage. There not enough energen to heal him. so, instead of being a wake and in pain. he asleep for now. Until otherwise.”
“Is there anything I can do?”
“You did more than enough.”
I felt the other being I was talking to left. it gave me the answers, but I wasn’t satisfied. I want to do more. But there nothing I can do.
“No offense, lady, but who are you again?”
“My name is Airazor. I am Maximal. A warrior from your past and future.”
So, I was right about her name and her race, but my questions still stand. How and why?
“Oh, right! That-- that track. Yeah” said mirage while he walks away doing the cuckoo face. When all people think someone is nuts. Knowing that I need to be part of this conversation. I stood up.
“I will do what I can to make you better, I promise.”
I walk back to Noah and Elena at. I began to feel that mirage was looking for me. I don’t know why but he did. I pop into Noah vision when he started to get worried.
“We fled our home planet on the eve of this destruction. We sought refuge and hid here on Earth.” Said Airazor.
The scene of Apeling and scourge came to me. the last 10 second came to me. I looked up and saw Unicron eat the Maximals world.
“Alright, so you’re a Maximal, y’all are Autobots, what was those things that attacked us earlier?” said Elena.
“Terrorcons. Servants of a dark, hungry god who feeds on entire worlds to sustain himself.”
“Unicorn.” I whisper while prime said it out loud. Again, that scene came back to me. it shook me to the core.
“So, you're saying’ this thing, Unicron, eats planets to survive?” said mirage
“Yes. And he imbues his servants like Scourge with dark energy, which makes him all but invincible. He is entirely beholden to Unicron. Through his power, he possesses Scourge’s soul.”
Look of worry was on everyone.
“Like the devil?” I whisper.
“What about the neutral?” ask Elena.
“I did you neutral?”
“Scrouge said something about a neutral. just before you came in.,” said mirage.
“Can someone explain to me what a neutral is.” Said Noah.
“I can only tell you what I know? Unicron was always the god of evil, but he was not always alone. He had a twin and a younger sister. His twin what the symbol of good. The brothers always fight each other, while the sister was the one that was always in between them. she loves both brothers. She was given the title neutral. that is all I know of the legend.”
“My old mentor told me before the war, that a neutral power is as powerful and mysterious. Unicron wanted him to join her side and rule as one. but like primus she saw the good in freedom. She turned Unicron offer down. then disappear. Leaving no trace.” Said prime.
He must mean Alpha Trion. If my visions are right.
“As much as I love stories, but the bigger question is that scrouge has the key. now my planet is danger is there a way to stop.” said Noah.
“He doesn't have the key. At least, not all of it.”
“Did you break it in half.” I ask.
“You call it little one. We broke the key in to two pieces for safe keeping, then split it, and went into hiding. I do not know where the other half is. For all I know, I am the last of our kind.”
“it’s in Peru”
“How do you know?” I ask
“It's the symbols on the stone. They were only ever recorded in one other place in the world. The Inca Temple of the Sun in Kuzco. It's one of the oldest buildings in the Western Hemisphere. I'm guessing that can't be a coincidence.”
“If you can track those symbols to Peru, so can the Terrorcons. We need to get there before they do.” said Arcee.
“ we are not taking an humans, it was there fault that we lost it in the first place.”
“and then kill Scourge and take his piece to complete the key.”
“The Transwarp Key is our only way home.” said prime.
“If this dude gets a hold of that thing, it's game over for Earth! Our families, everybody. I'm going.”
“Out of the question.”
“No offense, but I'm not trusting my home to a guy who couldn't even protect his. This is my-.”
“Noah! Enough!” I scream.
He shows fear in his eye. I never scream at least to them. he has never saw me scream. He back down.
“Prime I know you want to fix this problem on your own. you need help. We may not be a big as you, or tough as you. we are smaller and can get into the human places. Please let us help you.” I ask.
Noah sees a bot that just angry at everything. Elena may see a big brother. what I see is a man that trying to make everything right. he made a mistake, or a plan and a wrench was tossed in it. I see the real him and I was in his seat before. I saw his eyes soften. I want to say more but Airazor started talking.
“What about you?”
“Me?” ask Elena
“What is your name?”
“Elena”
“Elena. Will you lead us to this temple?”
“Chance to stop the end of the world.” Said Noah
“Actually, you'll be saving two worlds.” said Arcee.
“Yes. I will.” Said Elena
I can't tell you what happen after words. The next thing I know is that I was in the passage seat of the 911 Carrera. Noah in the driver seat. “Driving.” To his place. My body and mind feel apart. I was not all there. it could be that my brain had a lot to process.
There is a god that going to eat our world. unlike Noah, I knew about Unicron this morning because of my dream this morning. I thought that just that a dream. Like apeling said on the roof “there more than meets the eye” whether It’s to this situation or my life or whatever I am. as far as I know I am human. But aliens weren’t real until the whole reek stealing car situation. The black wolf who I am guessing is midnight star. (Like Apeling said in his final moments.) I am getting her memories or parts of her life. Then I am seeing shooting star memories too. She saved mirage and was at a library with prime. These are two completely different being. ones an autoboot and the other is maximal. The only thing they have in common is the Star in their name.
Why is a human like me getting the memories of two aliens. How am I seeing segments of their life. I was getting confused and angry all over again, but at this point, I have time to at least look at these thoughts. That not the worst part, it’s that I am going to have an aneurysm.
What snap me out of all this was when Noah lightly touches my shoulder. Looking at him. I see that he was trying to talk to me.
“I am sorry, what?”
“I was trying to see if I can drop you off at your place or somewhere?”
Now finally realizing that I was still in my spy gear. I pulled off the glasses and the bag back in the back.
“Can I stay at your place tonight?”
Seeing the shock in his place. You can tell he was not expecting that.
“I don’t think, anyone will mind. Can I ask why?”
“I don’t feel like being alone tonight.”
“Are you not trying to avoid this k guy?”
“That too.”
“How come I never heard of this k guy?”
“For many reasons. One of them is that I want to stay away for a bit longer.”
I could feel both boys’ eye on me. even though mirage transformed. I don’t want to think how he can see me. I already am doing whole rabbit whole with this whole situation. I don’t need another.
“Sliver what really going on.”
I didn’t answer I was just wanting it to stop. I want this pain and questions to stop. I have no idea why I am so different and what so great about me.
“it’s been a long day.” Was the only thing I said.
I look out the window and felt something slide down my face. Nothing else was spoke at all. I saw the lights change with every sign we passed. To me the colors we blob of colors. That was it. my brain hurt to make sense. One second, we were in the car the other I held my bag to my back and began to climb the stairs. I was laying on the couch.
“Yo, is that you, Sonic?” said tails
“What you are doing up, Tails?” Noah asks in the walkie talkie.
“I can't sleep.”
He looked at me. “Go I will be okay.”
I sat on the family couch. Putting my bags under the coffee table. So, no one would fall and get hurt. I somehow still have my phone, in my hand. sending a quick text to k ‘I’m okay.’ I need to process today. Pulling out my journal. I began to write.
As of this day, I have experienced a lot. To much at this point. I keep seeing points from someone past, or should I say being. there this alien race. I don’t know what they are really called, but I know their names: shooting star and midnight. They were young people in their time. midnight wanted to become a leader. While star is just smart. She was under prime wing at one point. that is all the information I have gather and understood to this minute. I want to know more about them and what happen to them.
I hear the sound of cars alarms. Scared me so bad that there was a slash of black across the page. seeing a big light in kris room. I fumble off the couch and scrambled to his room, thinking something was wrong. when kris door open. the light was from mirage. Kris said something about getting a bat and Noah trying to take the bat away. Noah passes me trying to put the bat away and seeing if all of this woke up his mom. Kris was trying to get ab better look at mirage. I just followed the kid. Just out of instinct. When I was fully out of the window. kris grab something and toss it at mirage roof.
“Yo! You scratched my paint!” said mirage. scaring the kid. Kris jumped. I put my hand on kris shoulder, hoping that it will calm down. I felt his muscles relaxed a bit.
Noah yelled whisper “What are you doing?
“Man, they didn't treat ET like this.” Said a frustrated mirage.
“You know this thing?” Kris was getting away from the wall to get a better view of his older brother.
“Yeah, we're just... work friends.”
“Work friends? You've been inside me.” said mirage. I snorted at his comment. I cover my nose and mouth. looking away from the brothers. I looked at mirage and saw him smirk at his reaction. he had a satisfied smile. The smile when people in the movies when something goes to plan. Like he wants to make me smile but was even more impressed that he gotten a snort.
“Look, the thing I told you that me and sliver, have to go do? It's for him and his crew.” Said Noah.
“We're trying to stop the end of the world.” Said mirage.
“The world ending?”
“No!” me and Noah said sternly.
“Maybe. Sixty-forty.”
I gave mirage a look. It shut him right up. I move to the area behind kris. so, Kris and Noah have their brother moment.
“You know I'm not goanna let that happen. But that's why I have to leave.”
“I'll go get my things.” said kris
“What? No. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on. You--you're not coming.”
“Why? You need someone to watch your back.”
“It's too dangerous, Kris. And I need you to stay here and take care of Mom.”
“Cause you might not come back.”
Noah was looking at me. pleading that I say something to at least stop Kris form doing something stupid. I was thinking or away to let him down gently. Before I could say any of my ideas. Kris began to turn to mirage.
“Hey robot.”
“Me? What's up?”
“Watch out for these two. Okay?”
“You got it, little man.”
“Nah, I'm serious. If they gets hurt, I'm coming after you.”
“Don't worry. I got they back. especially the pretty little lady. I promise.”
“Trust me I am not a little lady.”
“But you are pretty.
Kris Look back at his bigger brother.
“Home team?”
“Home team!”
Once kris angrily accepted that he had to stay behind. He was so not happy to stay behind, but knowing that people had his back. when know left foot touch the ground. one of my bracelet charms snaped. I began to panic.
“I got to go.” I pulled the handle to let the ladder down. some reason the other ladders were already down.
“Sliver where you are going. Its way to late.”
“None of your Business. I will see yo.” ______________________________________________________________
okay her is 6 I know its longer but I a struggling on remembering how the movie went. if you find any clips from the movie that would be great. I am also struggling on keeping this story simple but complitacted as well.
I went from left to right. up and down. I haven’t felt this free in a long time. I landed on a random roof. I don’t know how but I found reek car. I can spot that vehicle thing from anywhere. My green bag on the grounded. Digging though, it contents I found my walkie talkie. When it gotten in my hands, I put my green bag on my back. I twist though the channels until I heard reek
“There you go. let that breathe fill you up.”
I kind of blur out the conversations. When you are here a door and a groan. I knew he was in. now how do I get it.
I pull out my binoculars and look that building up and down. I saw that there was a car garage. There were gabs for between each level. I can go through them. on the 3rd floor there was a person that was staring at me. I would of ignore them. I if I didn’t see a hint of yellow. I twisted so I can zoom in more. It was her again. the lady from the clinic. it may have been dark, but her eyes I would never forget. They were literal stars. she pointed southeast form where she was standing. Looking at where she was pointing, it was a building that was a row under here. I would like to do a Mario super jump across, but this is real like not Super Mario world.
“We are in the mix.” said Noah.
Well looks like I am taking that route. Looking back, she wasn’t there. I jump across and donkey Kong barrel roll on to the small platform know as a roof. I saw exactly where she was. I am going to have to super jump across. Walking all the way back. I tug at my straps. Just to make sure that they were tight.
“You can do this sliver.” Said Apeling.
I closed my eyes. Trying to tune out all the doubts. Once I open my eyes and began to run across, I knew there was no turning back. as soon my foot left the ground. I just jump. I was going up for a moment my panic didn’t start setting in until I started falling.
“Push your foot down.” said a voice that was 100% not Apeling.
My body reacted on its own. foot pushing down I was going up again. my hands landed on the concrete. Breathing in and out calming my nerves. Looking at my hands and realized I was hanging on to the right floor. Pulling myself up was all I had to do. I pulled myself over and lay on my left side because of the backpack.
Once my whole body felt the cold ground. I want finally calming down.
“Apeling who was that?”
Apeling stayed silent. I want to find answers but it’s going to have to wait. I saw Noah on the other side of the room. He was getting in a sliver Porsche. I need to get to him quickly and save him from make a mistake. I speed walk across. Pulling my green bag putting it in front of me. I put my hand on the door handle. It began to glow green like they did with Apeling, door was open and my bag in my lap.
“Sliver what are you doing here” he whispered still trying to jump start the car.
“Saving you form going to jail.”
Before that argument can continue. A spark came from the radio and It began to chant.
“Calling all autoboots.”
Noah was tapping the radio trying to get the radio to go silent. Once he sat in the silence. Gears are turning in his head.it was my turn.
“Noah you are no thief. I know you are desperate for money, but this is not the way.”
After his breathing calmed down. “What am I doing?”
I heard reek talking in his ear.
“I can't.”
I heard more mumbling. The only clear word I got from that conversation was stick.
“I ain’t no thief.”
That right Noah. Don’t do the wrong thing for the right reason. Then the radio came back on.
“This is an emergency can you hear me mirage?”
He sounds so familiar. Made me go somewhere
I can't tell what was happening it was like my dreaming with Apeling and Scourge. But the land looks different. This place I was at was completely metal. No grass, no trees, not even a flake of dirt. Just solid metal. Then there were these beings that look like scourge but way friendlier. they had different colors and shapes and sizes. It’s a whole race. I saw this bot that was I guessing a 10-year-old with how she was drawing it was good but kid, like. She had a yellow skin (That the best way to explain her outer shell.) she had a splash of black. Her and there. hear eyes were the color of Periwinkle. Not too blue and not to purple just perfectly in the middle. I see her jolt up looking at something. closing her journal and walking away. when I followed her. there 3 taller bots were playing monkey in the middle. Keeping something from a smaller kid.
“Leave him alone.”
the game was stop.
“Well look who we have here. Another thing to play with.”
As the taller bot came closer. Two of them were left in the back. still holding the thing in the air.
“Please give it back to him.”
“What are you going to do cry to your carrier? Oh, wait you don’t have one.”
“You don’t want to find out.”
This kid was pushing my patience.
“Like what.”
He pinches her check like a grandma dose to their grandchild. She grabs that knock him off his feet then bend the arm behind his back and her foot was on the center of his back.
“So, you didn’t have to get taking down by girl. that is also smaller here side.”
“Breakdown and knock out get here.” The other bullies. We’re doing what their leader wanted to do.
I have a few surprises for them to find out. the blue bucker one came to me. when he was close enough, she kicked a pencil under his foot. Made him fall forward. I was lucky enough to move out of the way. Just enough for the blue one to land on his buddy. red one was standing with his fist up.
I stared at him. waiting for this noob to do something. knock out was throwing punches but he misses her each time. I twisted my feet under him when he looks like he had enough. He flops on the floor next to his pals. Walking away like a cool chick. She grabs the object started all of this. Bringing it over to the monkey. That stood in middle of room.
Handing it back, “I think this is yours,” He took it from my hands.
“T-T-thank you.”
“No problem. Let’s get you out of here.”
“okay.” dude was differently shy. They were walking away. the victim had his box, the yellow girl held drawing. They both were going their separate way.
“w-wait.” They began to look at each other but this time in the eyes. Bright blue eyes looking at these violet blue eyes.
“what’s your name?”
“Shooting Star. yours?”
“Mirage.”
The scene that was in front of my eyes twisted. Like water landing on a picture. Them having the swirls
“Mirage.” I whisper softly.
“Sliver lets go.”
Noah went to open the door. but the locks when down.
The security guard spot us. Noah went down and I pulled the lever to lean back a bit.
Noah was yelling back at the security guard. I look at the radio. Knowing there was more than meet the eye with this car.
“Mirage please do what you need to do.”
I saw the stick shift move and the car was staring to move.
“Buckle up Noah.”
Once. I readjust my seat and the buckle clicked.
“What you are doing.” Knowing he was asking the car more than me.
“He is taking us away.”
“how do you know?”
“I’m Sliver, I just know.”
Noah was freaking out and calling for reek.
“Reek can't save you now.” I said and rolled down the window enough to feel the wind on my face.
“How do I make it stop. This thing is possessed or something.”
then the lights came. Reek was saying something about how, he can't hear Noah.
I grab the mic. “You’re a coward reek.” I scream in the mic. I toss the mic in the back.
Now reek lost most of my respect. Noah was freaking out left and right screaming like a little baby. then trying those breathing techniques. For as much comfort as I can I grab his hand and held. Come on mirage lets go.
“How you not freaking out woman?”
“I trust this car.”
“How?”
“Would you believe me, if I said my gut said so.”
When we look away when the car was drive up a tower car ram. And the way Noah is screaming I am differently losing my hearing aid. When mirage step on his breaks. To do a sideways stop. The cop car on its side. a semi-truck mashed into the police car. Noah kept start to calm down.
Looking at the car radio. “Nice idea with the ramp but can't say I liked what happen to the cop.”
I look out the window. is that a beam of light? Did E.T. land?
I heard Noah repeat the word drive on repeat when more cops began to come.
“Please drive Mirage.”
That started the car. Now here we go again another police chase scene.
“The bridge.” I saw his brain working.
“Take us to Williamsburg.” We both said together.
This car thing drove to the bridge. Only one cop was on use now. He kept bagging his bumper. The car turned and we began Driving backwards. We were staring at the cop.
“Turn on you lights and flash him.” I yell.
“Now that you are flashing him. you can do whatever you have to turn around.”
Like on command. He began twisting parts. And the cars got turn around to the front. He transforms.
Why does this feel so normal and how am I okay with this.
“Come in. Come in. Can you hear me mirage.”
“Optimus prime.” I whispered.”
“Who that?” said Noah.
Looking back at him I thought I said low enough that he couldn’t hear.
“I will explain later.”
Looking up. I saw the White semi-truck. An idea. Came in my head.
“Go in front of the semi-truck and do what every trick you are thinking.”
It listens to my commands. When he was in his spot. He duplicated himself with me and Noah in the fronts.
Our Noah and sliver on the left flip off the cops. The Noah on the right was smileing like crazy while me in the car was freaking out. the opposite of what we been doing this whole time.
“Mirage.” We both said.
The police officer pasted the taxi and saw 5 mirages. We heard a loud crash and turning around we saw the cop.
“I love this car.” I screamed.
“Looking up ahead if you go up 5 blocks then turn a right there will be an abandon warehouse.”
“How do you know?”
“When I am not hanging around you guys, I am here.”
“This is the worst place to hang out. “
“I know.”
Before this conversation could go any further. Mirage Releash Noah seat belt and literally toss him out. I unbuckle and jump out, but I had a softer landing.
The metal car was changing wheels. Turned into arms. While metal man dabbled on about how to follow orders and how he can't do anything fun. The last line about him never able to be a real boy. Made me giggled.
I quietly made my way to Noah. trying to get him off the ground. Noah kept his eyes eye on mirage.
“That was fun guys, you guys are fun.”
I looked back when I felt eyes on me, and they were not Noah’s. I wrap my hand around my purse strap. When I meet his artic blue eyes. Time slowed down. like it was only the two of us. This was an older version of the mirage in my flashback. Older mirage looks better than the child version. He kneels. Closer to our height.
“This probably a lot for you.”
Mirage said without taking his eyes off me. not even one second. I hear metal scraping across the ground. pushing mw behind him.
“Back up.”
I can't blame the kid for being scared, hell I’m scared, but I know being emotional would get you to think with fear, not rational wise. Being clam and asking questions would be the best route to getting answers. With out any violence.
“Easy now, I thought after the car chase, we were boys.” He began backing up.
“Are you going to hit me?”
“Maybe.”
After that response. Mirage changed his hand into a circle with a with a blue color. Kanda like a blaster. When Noah didn’t budge an inch. I back up a bit.
“Tough guy, I like it.”
He took his canon and changing it back to his hand.
“What are you?”
“The name is mirage.”
He put his hand in a fist pump.
“Come on little tap.”
after Noah did his awkward fist pump. mirage move his hand towards me. you bet I did a better job than Noah.
“See like that.”
We all turn around when we heard more vehicles.
“Oh, great the gang is here.” He said sounded bum.
When we heard other car engines. A yellow muscle car and a pink motorcycle. They began to change like mirage did a few minutes ago.
“Noah you might want to put toss that pipe, they might take it as a threat.”
He tosses the metal pipe when blue and red robot came through the garage doors.
The yellow one was using the radio. I think his name was bumblebee because the black and yellow.
“Well, well look who we have here.”
The pink motorcycle. Was doing somersaults. Then began to ask mirage what he has done.
“You brought humans here?”
“Optimus, hey looking good man.”
“You were told to stay hidden.”
Mirage was trying to explain that we were in the car with him when Optimus called.
for some reason dream land was pulling me in again it was the same metal world place as before. The same yellow robot was walking around like she was looking for something. Shooting Star was a lot older. She was in a golden building. she was holding a metal box thing. She was differently looking for something or someone. There was a random dull golden door. bolting it open without a second thought, she ran inside. The room had many racks of square devices on each row. They are the same size as the one in Star hand.
The racks reach the celling. This was a massive room too. The area around use was blurry again so it was hard to tell what was on the shelves. A red and blue bot was nearby. With other colored being. I saw Star face brighten up. she ran up and hug the red guy.
“Hey.”
“Hello little Star.”
It was Optimus the one that mirage was talking with earlier. He looked a lot younger then the moment
beforehand.
“Star I want you to meet two of my work friends. This is Arcee and Bumblebee.”
With them saying their hellos another robot came slowly into view.
“Hello to you all.”
“What makes you come here little Star?” ask the bot that just came in.
Now this one had a purple and red color scheme. I was getting a feeling that his name was Alpha Trion.
“I got an assignment and need to do some research; thought I can come and say hi before I start.”
“I can help you look for items to help your research. So, Optimus can finish helping these two.”
“Thank Alpha Trion. bye guys.”
While Star and Alpha left, I didn’t follow I was stuck with the other 3 for some reason.
“She doesn’t know about the war dose she?” ask Arcee
“No, she doesn’t.”
“She needs to know there is a war going on.” said arcee.
“Her carrier asked me in her final moments to let her live like a child, not solider.”
“it’s not just that is it?” ask Bee. This bee wasn’t using the radio. He was using his actual voice.
Prime stayed silent. If that didn’t give an answer, then I don’t know what dose.
“You might want to tell her the truth before it’s too late.”
“I will when she is ready.”
The scene was distorted like before and I was forced back to reality. When Prime pick us up, ‘saying not cool.’ he doesn’t look like the one in the flash back. he looks more mature. The other two look like they grown a bit as well.
“Who are you humans.”
“We are no body. We didn’t see anything I not see anything right now.”
Prime looked at me.
“Call me sliver.”
When he was not happy with either answer.
“Arcee.”
when the white and pink female came to us and scan Noah face.
“Private Noah Diaz, multiple accommodations, wizard with Technology. he’s solider.”
“He doesn’t look like a solider.”
“You are looking rough as well.”
We heard a laugh form mirage and after words a quick sorry. Then he held me up. arcee scan my face.
“that’s weird. There nothing about you.”
“Nothing?” prime asked arcee.
“Not even a photo.”
“Just call me Sliver like I said.”
“I will deal with your mistake later.”
He put me and noah on top of a rack.
“Okay the energy surge was in a 4,000s range. Its undetectable to humans. I reconstructed the energy from there echoes.
“I cannot believe it existed and its here.”
“What the hell am I looking at?” Said bee.
“The Trans wrap key. it was thought ….”
Noah tapped on my shoulder and nodded his head. he saw a way down. just to humor him. I followed him. ignoring the conversation until they said Ellis Island. Noah was began to climb down the mess up latter. While waiting for him to go completely down. I tune into the conversation again. when they gotten to the part about humans there. I felt a shove on my shoulder.
“What about me, I can help.”
“How so.” Optimums began to walk towards me. acting all high and mighty
“I have a way to get all of use in a doubt.”
“Would you help us go home.” the arcee asks.
“Yes.”
“Why help us? we are completely different then you let alone trust you.”
“Because I know what is like trying to get home. you have a chance to go home. if the roles were reverse, I hope someone would help me.”
There was a massive pause. No one said a word.
“We don’t have a better plan and we are running out of time.”
“what’s your plan human.”
Completing ignoring him I look at mirage.
“Mirage, do you still have my bag?
“You mean this.” He opens his chest panel. pulling out a green bag with black strips.
“My equipment it in there. keep me in the driver seat and just drive behind us. I will take care of the rest.
Prime knowing, he was out of time had to have faith in me. We heard a clunk. Looks like Noah escape plan failed. I snorted laugh.
“Mirage takes these humans. Rest of you transform and roll out.”
I began walking towards Noah escape attempt. I leaned over. looking at a Noah that was sadly defeated.
“It was a good try, Noah.” I said with my arms cross.
“How about I help you down. “Said mirage.
Held his hand out.
“Thank you.” he had my bag in his hand. picking it up and he began transforming. I was the driver this time. I saw Noah on the outside next to the passage window. pressing the window controls.
“This is the time you make a choice. You can either walk away and go back to your normal or join us and have a story to tell.”
Going form point 1 to point 2 was just a normal walk. just a turn left, a turn right. nothing worth noting. Honestly, I usually keep track where I am, but the lady with yellow eyes mess with my head big time. I mean I know their “magic” but that usually baloney or leave a mark. While I was playing the guessing game. I was just holding the strap on kris bag. He was leading the way. he used his strength to stop me from walking into a person. Coming back, I saw Noah going in and kris tugging me sit on a stone wall.
“You okay sliver?”
“I been better, honestly.” I can't lie to him no matter how hard I want to.
“Does it have anything to do with that magazine?”
Looking down I am not realized that I am still on the page that the lady left me on.
“Kind of …”
Before anything can be said. My plastic bracelet that sits on my left wrist. Started buzz and change color, from snowflake white to a dull sky blue. I guess my “blood sugar” need “insulin”.
Pulling out my bag I grab my pencil case. it had all three of use Noah being the cool one with an attitude. My with peace sign on my fingers. Kris decides to photo bomb with heart hands. It’s one of my favorite moments. Under the photo there a diamond, With mini diamonds inside. 4 diamonds in total.
You see no matter where there are three beings There is good (blue one on the right) the bad (purple on the left) and the neutrals (green the top). Then their possibility (the grey on at the bottom) there will always be good and bad but there was a third a neutral. That was both good and bad. They were made so that neither side would be by there self. Then there is possibility. the one where humans or any being fir that matter are place. You have a chance to be good, bad, or neutral.
I pulled out my necklace held the yin and yang charm. I twisted so that yang was on top, and yin was on bottom for once. A bust green came off from the necklace. Went to anything that was electronic and frozen them, nothing can record. A sphere was around me. it gave a green tint to show that it was there.
I then press. Blue, purple, green, and gray. The case unlocks. I open it very carefully. There are 10 slots of vials, I pulled out a vial that was the same color as my bracelet. Number 10. It was a liquid that was filled to the top. With the needle that was under the vials. I careful took the foam full of vials out. Looks like I am going to need to run and get more needles soon. Taking one out and literally stab under my bracelet. The place where any nurse goes to draw blood. When they need to draw your blood for any reason at all.
My bracelet turns back to its normal color snowflake white.
“How does your bracelet do that?”
Dam it. I forgot he was there. I didn’t want to drag him in this. Quick find an excuse.
“Magic.”
Magic may be fake but it’s the simplest way for him to understand. In all honestly, I don’t know. It always done turn to different colors on its own. I quickly and carefully clean up. I put the now used needle back in its clear little package.
“Can it turn into other colors?”
“Yes.”
“What other colors?”
“Sometimes I turn a light purple. Once it turned gold.”
“What do they say?”
“Like I said it turn gold only once, I don’t fully know the truth. at the time it meant it was okay going to be okay.”
The time it turned gold was when I was escaping/stepping out of your comfort zone. It was scary leaving the place you only knew. When I was in that car, taking my first steps into a better life. Left hand on the wheel and my right hand on my dog (spike) petting his ear. I look over my wrist it turns into a shiny gold. Not enough to blinded me but enough to just stand out. the only feeling I can explain was I was safe, and I just knew everything was going to be alright after that, no matter how scary it was going to be.
“What about purple.”
How to I explain purple? It was always complected to explain, let alone explained to an eleven-year-old.
“Purple is when I become sick. I need an antibiotic?”
“What the antibiotic do you need.”
Pointing at open my case. (That has all the vials in place.) I pointed to the number 3. Number 3 was the only one I had left; I need to do a run for it soon or I will surely be dead.”
“Number 3 has all the antibiotics; I need to get better and fast.”
closing the case, I put it in the green bag. Know that my “medicine” is safe
“How fast?”
“Almost an instant.”
“But I thought medicine doesn’t heal as fast.”
“You are right but- “
“Sliver, tails let go.”
Noah, you have prefect timing. I just finished the twisting the yin and yang. Yin was once again on top of yang. The sphere was gone. he not only saves me from a very uncomfortable conversation but saving his brother join a cause, that I don’t want him or anyone else to be part of. I want no one be part of my work. I still trying to fix myself form the last few runs.
In my whole happy moment. I didn’t realize that Noah was upset. He must have not gotten the job, but my gut was saying there was more to it. When we got on the train. I gave Kirst my bulky headphones so he can play his game boy isn’t of the world around him. I just stared at Noah with the “explain now” look.
“There noth- “
“I know you didn’t get that interview, but its more to it is there?”
Knowing he can't lie to me. he started spilling the truth.
“Okay so I didn’t get the job like you said. then the guy that I was going to the interview that Mr. Tucker didn’t want to hire me for some reasons but what really bug me was the whole, “one of your people.” On top of that I ran into Mrs. Greene, and she said this is the last appointment until money starts rolling in,
“Hey, you will get a job it’s only a matter of time Mr. tucker is missing out and he is wrong, you’re not people you are Noah Diaz. A brother and a son that is no has don’t everything in his power to protect his family. you are a hero one way or another.
“You differently know how to make a guy feel better.”
“I just, know when to say that truth. you know what I always say?”
Shaking his head no.
“When its midnight there are stars.”
“I hate that saying.”
“But it is turn there are stars when’s it dark out.
He did a silent chuckle, that was my Signal that my job was done. He was somewhat better.
He went to watch the window of the subway to show that he was done with the conversation. That was my que to open my journal. I careful rip the magazine of the two articles and took picture of the lady on the toothpaste ad. And put the page before, so I can take whatever time I have left to write.
Noah is one the only people that is a hero. Whether he realizes it or not. Tails is lucky to have a brother like him. the one that dose anything for his family, doing the wrong things for the right reason. He a big brother trying to carry the world on his shoulders. Maybe I should call K and see if there something I can do to help.
The train jolted to a stop. A nice new scratched mark in my journal. I can't get rid of a pen mark even if I wanted too. That Tossing the journal and magazine in my big bag. Noah taps on kris, and they started to leave the cramp space. When everyone was off. kris wouldn’t let go of my hand. I felt like I was normal, and I have not felt like that in a VERY long time. Maybe I can be part of their family.
“Hey, you two go up. I need to talk business.”
Letting go of kris and going to Reek.
“What that all about?”
“Reek said something about a job before we left.”
Oh no. Noah don’t do the wrong things for the right reasons.
“I going to cancel those plans tonight tails.”
“Why?”
“I have a feeling your brother going to me tonight.”
“Hey sliver,”
“Yea little man”
“Please watch out for my big brother.”
“You know I will.”
“If he gets beat up, I will beat you up.”
“I know. I will let you beat me up.”
“I have something to ask you. But let’s go inside first.”
After going up the flights of stairs. We made to his door where he had a key. he pulled me in his room and the door was left open.
“What this thing you want to ask?”
“In a few days I am going out of town.”
Opening my purse, I pulled out 2 flower necklaces. Open was a blue daisy and the other one was blue speedwell flower, but both have a white almond gem in the middle.
“I am going to send a letter to an old friend. He going to be around for a bit but he going to be looking for me. I am going to send him to Reek, but I don’t trust him for the life of me. this is a very dear friend to me. I am going to tell him a phrase you are going have to say back. Do you understand?”
With a nod he
“He going to ask “when it dark there is? All you must do is there say “stars. there could be other lights, but stars will always there. “After you say that you are going to give him this daisy necklace and you two will go from there.
“What about the other necklace?”
“This is my promise to you. You used this necklace when you feel your life is threatened. It could be as simples as an earthquake, and you are stuck. Or someone is planning to hurt you. You break it in half I will come as fast as I can.”
“How will you know.”
“I will just know.”
“Hey kids, where are you at.” Said sonic.
“We are in the kris bedroom trying to beat Bowser.” I spoke.
Tails was quick to pull out his Gameboy. this boy totally has my back.
“Well with this information I am going to start dinner Or at least start it before mom comes homes. She will be here in an hour. Sliver will you be staying?”
I was going to say no but tails grab my hands. With his pleading eyes. They were begging me to stay.
Looking back at sonic, “I guess I could stay for a meal.”
“Okay I will leave you guys to your mission.”
I waited for 7 mario deaths before I could do something.
“Hey, I am going to pop out your window to make a call okay let me know when sonic and your mom need me, or when dinner done.”
“Got it.”
Pour kid gets so close but then dies on boswer. I was taking this opportunity to do something. leaning against the cold metal bars against forehead as I leaned against them, waiting for a different sound then ringing in my ear.
“When its midnight there are?”
“Stars, there could be other lights, but stars will always be there.”
“Took you long enough for your check in.”
“Sorry!!”
“Late is better than never. Anyway, how are you doing.”
“I mean I am okay. I need some refills can you send me a location I can get them?”
“Yea. I will E do that. he was saying the was a big dopiest near New York. How are you feeling mentally.”
“I’m not the greatest. But I am okay.”
“Do I need to go to you and drag you back.”
“NO!!! I am doing okay. don’t you dear come find me.”
“Okay, you know I will come and get you, if you go 24 hours of no contact when you are supposed to contact.”
“I know you will. I was enjoying being normal for once.”
I heard him sigh.
“I am not going to disappear without a word again. I promise you that.”
“I know you won’t, I just can't help but worry. I know being normal is something you want. But people like us can't.”
“I know we can never be normal but doesn’t mean I can't enjoy it while we can. You can walk away any minute I can't.”
“I know. I just worry about you. They can find you. Then drag you back.”
“I left no traces. I been doing this long enough.”
“I know. I love you okay.”
“Love you too.”
“Okay do you need anything else?”
“Actually, are you next to computer of any sort?”
I hear him wheel across. The room from one table to another.”
“Now I am.”
“Go dark and go to the SC or AC list of names? Type in tucker in last name slot.
“Got we go 100.
“See if any of them live or work in New York?”
“That shrink the list down to 7. “
“Any of them working in bridge security guard.”
“That brings it down to one. Sean tucker. A farther of 3. Wife is a teacher. she struggles with PTSD, and other relate illness.
“Tell me a story.”
“An apartment Building was on fire at Stone and Garfield St. the wife who name is Sally Tucker
was on the 3-floor stairwell, when the explosion happens after the electric fire reach an area of chemicals. That set the who building a blaze. The chemicals made it spread faster.”
“How long ago was the fire.”
“About almost 8 months on the 27th. it looks like her Lily was one of the survivors. Went straight to the hospital after a bystander saw her window get smash by her boyfriend. Trying to get help to her. once in hospital she has serve burns. Lost more than 25% of muscle tissues. After multiple surgeries she was release about 6 months ago. she gotten into physical therapy about 2 months ago. has been there ever sense.
“How were the tuckers involve in the program.”
“T and V had brought it to our attention when one of Mrs. tuckers students came home saying how his teacher was “acting strange”.
“I am guessing the “acting strange” was her PTSD.”
“You called. V. went to talk to her. she found out story. made a deal with her. she goes to therapy we give better care to her friend.”
“because of the deal. Every one of her family members had to be in the system.”
“That sounds about right.”
“Dose he used any of our services.”
“T has babysitting, and bills marked.”
“Babysitting Is needed when both parents are working full time and the mom needs help. There is no way they could do all that on their own.”
“Besides that, everything clean.”
“That doesn’t help what I want.”
“Want to explain?”
“Well, the people I am with. One of them had an interview with Mr. Tucker. When they came back.
He said, “he doesn’t want your people on his team.”
“Well one of their rules is equality to the end.
“When was there last check?”
“Well about a month ago. t went to see if they were going to appointments. the other check ins are form the babysitter or physical therapy workers.”
“Okay. send T. and V. or someone with their level of clearance. To report and see if maybe something will come up. If I want to mess with them I want to make sure its fair.
“Done. I know you are a necklace short who am I adding.”
“how do you know?”
“well you are making me do all this extra work for this “family you been hanging out with, right? they must have a lot of your respect.
“You not adding him yet, at least not until I leave, or something happens.”
“Okay, but you still gave out a necklace?”
“I going to protect them while I am here. When I give you a mission, I will tell them how you can get to them. I gave their youngest two necklace.”
“One for him and one for us.”
“You know it.”
“Also, I need you to look into someone for me. tell me the name. Susie Cook.”
“Got it. why…”
“I just want to make sure she there. I don’t want to fully explain it right now.”
“Okay. so, you know you better explain when I see you.”
Banging on glass had caught my attention. Tails tap his back of his wrist as time was up. I nodded at him as an understanding. He left his room. Dinner must of be done.
“Look bro I need to go. anything I should know before I disappear again.”
“That we love you and want what’s best for you.”
“I love you guys too. I have a feeling I will be back sooner then we know it.”
“I learned to trust that gut. you diffidently got the Gibbs gut.”
“What?”
“Wait, that not out yet.”
“I Explain and you explain when I come back.”
“DEAL!! when its midnight.”
“There are stars.”
I close the phone. Ending the call. Climbing in the window. It going to be a good night. Little did I was going to say the opposite later that night.
