A New Comrade

By: Una

In the deepest of space, a small Maximal ship is flying towards the planet of Earth.  The ship was silverish-gray with a maximal insignia on the left wing.  Also the cock-pit was opaque which is not very obvious when you look at it.

“Attention! this planet is ordered off-limits by the Maximal Elders.  Alter course.” said the computer.

The only thing we can see of the pilot is the eyes and arms.  The rest is covered by the darkness but it’s not hard to tell that she is human.

“Just activate the transwarp cell,” said the human, “ever since the Pax Cybertronia was signed -----“  

Before she could finish her sentence, the ship went into the warp portal.  The swirly blue smoke was all over the ship and jerking it like it was going to explode.

“Awww man! the instructions didn’t say it was this jerky and jumpy” said the human sounding irritated and the smoke turned into a bright light.

Tigatron was exploring the jungle, watching for any activity.  Tigatron was scanning the area but nothing was happening excerpt nature’s wonders.  He was about to turn back when he saw a mountain glowing.  “I better report this”

Tigatron turn around to get as close to the Maximal base as possible to get a good transmission.  “Tigatron to Maximal Base! Maximal base come in.”

Rhinox was the only one near the console checking out some scans “This is Rhinox. Report!” “I found a mountain with a strong alien signature in Grid Selka.” said Tigerton.

Optimus came on the bridge and heard everything “I’m on my way” He was about to go when the alarm went off. Optimus hated that alarm.  It was too loud but he couldn’t do anything about it.

“Rhinox! what is it?” said Optimus running back to the side of his old friend. “A transwarp hole is opening” Rhinox was trying to see what it is.  “It looks like a Maximal ship.”  Optimus was shocked

“But the probe never detected us. How?” Rhinox turned around to face Optimus “It’s not a rescue ship” Rhinox said saddened at the fact that Cybertron didn’t know where they were.

“The bumpiest ride I ever been on!” said the human rubbing her behind.  The ship came out of the portal and into the blackness of space once again.

She looked at the world her ancestors were born on. “Wow, it looks like a big, giant blueberry” She smiled at the planet but knew this was the past and not the present for her.

“I hope my tracking bug worked. Computer when will ship hit the atmosphere.” The computer answered in an emotionless tone “Ship will hit atmosphere in 40 nanoclicks.”

She looked at her left then at her right. Stasis pods were flying around orbiting Earth “Yep! It worked” she exclaimed as her ship was entered the atmosphere.

Megatron was still waiting for Inferno to get that artifact.  “My loyal drone better get here before the Maximals find it.”

The alarm went off. “Alert! Alert! ship entering atmosphere” said the feminine voice of the Predacon computer.

“Well, this is an unexpected development.  Computer! Get me a visual” said Megatron sitting in his throne like chair.

The visual came up “A maximal ship but the probe never found them… this could be a rogue” Megatron put his hand on his chin rubbing it. A smirk came on his evil face.

“Computer! Get me Terrorsaur and Waspinator on the line.”

The ship was heading towards the snow covered fields 100 miles away from the Axalon. “Optimus to Tigerton, You go check out the strange anomaly and we will handle the ship.”

“Understood. Tigatron Out”

 Rhinox was looking at Optimus with a puzzled expression “Who do you think it is?”

Cheetor and Rattrap came back from patrol up the platform. “What’s happened? Cheetor and I saw a ship landing 100 miles from here.” Rattrap said with Brooklyn accent.

“That’s what we are going to find out” Optimus said with a curious yet cautious expression. “Rattrap! Cheetor! You’re with me. Rhinox, you will keep in touch with Tigatron and report his findings.”

“Well, at least it’s soft.” said the human who has just landed on the snow. The pilot was getting up off her seat checking maps on the terrain but it was useless.

The snow melted on her ship which froze the systems.

The human was holding her arms and shaking violently “Good thing I had some extra clothes or I would have frozen to death.” She went to a secret compartment and grabbed some necessities.

She had an armor suit her size, flashlights, guns, energon, coats and jackets, and rations. She was looking at the bottom of the compartment when something caught her eye.

“A lightsaber!!” said the human with a shocked expression. The lightsaber had a cylinder like shape with chrome plating. The lightsaber was a rare weapon on Cybertron nowadays but she noticed a note taped on it.

She opened the note and it read:  

From your guardian,

This will help you if you are in danger. Just don’t cut your arm off with it!!!

She laughs at the note then she heard noise outside. She put her lightsaber in the small holder at her thigh and took a gun out of the box. “Great! I hope it’s friendly”

The human used her arm to wipe the frost on the inside of the windows.  She still couldn’t see anything.  “Dang!”

Cheetor, Rattrap, and Optimus were at the ship. Optimus landed near the ship “I wonder if anyone is still alive in there” he said to his comrades.

Rattrap shrugs his shoulders “It looks scrap from here. If anyone is in it, they’re scrap metal.” Cheetor walked closer to the ship when he got shot in his chest plate.

“Whatever is in this ship, it’s now ours.” said Terrorsaur flapping his wings, “Terrorsaur Terrorize” Waspinator came behind him and did the same.

“This is useless! Whatever is in there is probably destroyed.” said Optimus dodging blows left and right. Rattrap pulled Cheetor behind the ship so he won’t be target practice.

“Great! Some people are fighting outside. I better pack up. ” said the human furiously.  She took her lightsaber.

“Now how do I RIIIIIINN” She pushed a red button and a blue laser light came out of it. The human was going to use to melt the metal but a laser blast shook the ship so violently she let go and fell on the ground.

“Slag!!”

“Slag!” said Rattrap trying to shoot Waspinator down. “Ohhhh rat-bot no match for Wazzzpinator.

Optimus was having an aerial battle with Terrorsaur. All of a sudden he got a shot from his back.  

“Ahhhhhhhhh” he said all the way down with smoke trailing with him.

“OOOPS!” said Megatron who just arrived at the scene laughing, “Were you busy, Optimus!”

Rattrap shot down Waspinator. Waspinator mumbled something but the snow in his mouth drowned it.

 Rattrap saw Optimus on the ground “Optimus!” Megatron saw the distraction as an opportunity.  Then Rattrap took a plasma blast to his side.

The plasma shot took half of it off.

“Terrorsaur! Open the ship” said Megatron, “Whatever is in there, it is ours yessss” Terrorsaur laughed and walked near the ship.

“Aww man” said the human getting her gun ready.  

The gun she was hold was a laser Uzi, her favorite kind of weapon in emergencies.  She was still numb from all the snow through which made her shake.  She heard a laser cutting through.

Terrorsaur used his laser cutter to get through the metal plating.  “I’m almost done” Then he put away his cutter and pulled the plating off.

The human saw a red robot outside “I’ll take no chances” She aimed shakily.

“It looks empty Ahhhh” Terrorsaur was shaking from all the lasers hitting him point blank on his chest.

Optimus was rubbing his shoulders.  He saw Rattrap on the ground holding his side cursing the pain. Cheetor was still unconscious from his injury.  He tried to get up but he transformed into beast mode.

“Terrorsaur! You are useless” Megatron came close to the ship but stopped “Whoever you are identify yourself Maximal!”

A human came out of the ship and stood with confidence. She also had a dirty face probably from the fall she took.

Megatron could tell that she was about 5’ 4”, short blonde hair, and wearing an armor suit as white as the snow.  “Hello Barney” she said with sarcastic humor.

Megatron knew that was an insult. Humans were really popular with their insults.  He studied humans in the academy and killed a few. Weaklings, hairy, and fragile they were and yet this enemy was strong enough to help the Autobots. 

“I suggest you address me with a nicer tone, young lady.” He smiled an evil grin.

“Who are you suppose to be? Megatron?” said the human but knew the answer all too well. She knew him alright.

 The wanted posters all over Cybertron helped her out but his beast mode made slight changes to his body not his face though. “You know you’re very popular Cybertron criminal”

“Oh yesss” said Megatron, “That’s the way I like it.”  He was about to shoot her but she draw her gun like a lightning bolt.

Megatron got hit in his chest plate “I think you should leave” She said with a face one couldn’t disobey.   Megatron growled.

“Hooo I like you human but don’t worry we will meet again” Megatron transformed into Beast mode and run away.  Terrorsaur already left.

“You’ll get yours someday Megatron but it’s not my job.” as she watched him go.

Then she saw three robots on the ground smoke coming out of them.  The gorilla was getting up slowly.  She ran to him “Are you alright”

Optimus shook his head “Yes I am but my comrades need repairs. You also need to get warmed up.  Let me take you and them to base.”

“WAIT” the human said, “I have a portable life support unit here.” She took a box out of the ship.

After ten minutes of waiting, the rat and cheetah woke up. Cheetor was shaking his head then he saw the human.  She looked blue.

“Hey, I never met a blue skinned human or any human before.”

Rattrap walks towards Cheetor and hits him in the head “Ouch” Cheetor rubbed his head “Pussycat, there is no such thing as a blue human. She is just frozen!”  Rattrap annoyed by the kid’s lack of knowledge.

The human smiled innocently “Hi! My name is Samantha” Optimus smiled and laughed at how quickly the human changed moods.  “Hello Samantha!  I’m Optimus Primal leader of the Maximals.”

Rattrap walked up to Samantha.  She was a little bit taller than him but not that much. “I’m Rattrap.” He gave his cocky grin who he always gave to fem-bots and female humans alike.

“And I’m Cheetor. It’s nice to meet you.”  Cheetor said this alittle bit more childish than he hoped. If robots could blush, Cheetor will be red hot by now.

“Let me get my things out of this ship and let’s hit the trail” Samantha walked to her ship and started packing.  

Samantha found her lightsaber on the ground and picked it up “I’m going to need to practice this”

Cheetor was carrying one compartment like Optimus and Rattrap had picked up couple more. “So Samantha what are you doing here? Rattrap said crossing Cheetor to get near her.

Rattrap found it odd for a human to travel here in the past. It sounded too convenient. He never met an evil human before but every race had at least one though. For now, he trusted her but if she were a wolf in sheep’s clothing he would be ready.

“I’ll tell you guys when I get warm but don’t worry it’s nothing too special.” said Samantha smiling with the biggest smile yet. She really was ignoring the question but she will tell them soon enough.

They continued down the snowy field. Samantha looked at her ship until it was only a black dot.

Megatron was angry in his room full of things broken because of his furious personality “I was bested by a human brat!! GGRRR!! She insulted me and shot me but I will have my revenge yesssssss”

“Royalty! I have what you seek” Inferno entered the room with a golden disk putting his free hand in a salute.

“Ahhhh excellent work Inferno!” Megatron picked up the disk and saw his reflection in it. “This is what I have been waiting for!” He saw Inferno injured severely and grimaced “Go repair yourself.”

“As you command, my queen” Inferno took a bow and walked away. “I do wish he would stop calling me that.” Megatron said embarrassed.  He put the disk in a holo shield generator.

“Well, everything is going as planned except for that meddling human. I will deal with that situation when it presents itself. Oh yesss!” Megatron laughed evilly.
