Emblem Chapter 17: Most Wanted It was cold. It was so cold. I was sitting on a bench surrounded by white. There was nothing, just... white. I looked around, waiting. I knew I was dead. I had drowned in the lake, and now I was trapped. The sound of sharp heels came up behind me. A lady sat beside me. She was beautiful, she wore a green sundress and a pearl necklace. She smiled warmly at me.
"Hello there." She said brightly. I looked her up and down, but I had no idea who she was. She was vaguely familiar.
"Hi." I said. Then it hit me.
"Skippy?" I asked. She smiled and nodded. Skippy was my grandmother who died of liver failure four years before I was born. She patted my hand, she was ice cold.
"You look so much like your father." She said happily. I nodded.
"I gotta go back, I have to catch the thief and restore my good name. Please, I gotta go back." I pleaded, my voice cracking. She looked at me sadly.
"It wont be easy, you'll be on your own. And your friends.." She started to s

Emblem Chapter 16: Murder at the Museum I thudded to the floor with a painful grunt. Lights danced in front of my eyes as I tried to get back up before a heavy boot slammed me to the cold barren rock. A gruff voice chuckled above me.
'The Great and Powerful Guardian has now fallen to my knees! How tragic, no one around to save you now!" Romanaf snarled as he grabbed his knife.
"Say goodbye.." He growled as he brought the knife down into my rib cage...

Sixteen day's earlier..

It was sweltering hot in the Base, we all moved sluggishly here and there. The Air conditioning had blown out the other night. I slumped onto the couch with an exasperated sigh. Being from Colorado, I was used to being 100 degrees Celsius being an all time high. Not 150.
"It's so hot!" I cried. I wasn't the only one suffering. Mandy, Dallas, and Scott groaned in agreement.
"Maybe we could go to the pool?" Scott panted hopefully. It sounded like a g

TFP Emblem Chapter 10: Shattered Bonds "Whoa, whoa, whoa, back up the truck. Omega Supreme is an Autobot, not a vessel." I said calmly. The key still hissed faintly and my necklace had begun to glow again but only the Prime Symbol. The Autobots stood in a half circle around the key that was laid on a Med Bed. Optimus nodded to me.
"Omega Supreme is an Autobot, but there is more to this key than meets the eye." Optimus said. We all fell into silence, the only sound was that of the faint hum of the air conditioning. Optimus held a stony glare with the key as if it where about to explode or something.
"In the later period of the war, the Decepticons raided an Autobot stronghold known as Paraxis, where experimental weapons where manufactured and tested. We had hoped that if we could create a time altering device, we could prevent the Decepticon uprising and save Cybertron. The prototype needed transport to Iacon, Omega Supreme stepped up. He volunteered to safely transport the prototype but a fellow Aut

TFP Emblem Chapter 9: Past and PresentIn the later afternoon hours, I roamed around Base with a baseball bat swinging rhythmically at my side. The team was recovering from a scraplet scare that had destroyed large areas of Base. It was a nightmare, the little robotic piranhas where everywhere. Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Ratchet got the full brunt of it while Optimus and Arcee nearly froze to death in the Arctic. We all where a little jumpy, Bulkhead accidentally blew a hole through the Training Area when he thought he heard a scraplet scuttle through the walls. Turns out, it was a rat. I knew that Optimus knew that I was very unsettled, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at me like he was waiting for me to talk to him about it. I would, but in my own time. As I entered the Training Area a sharp whistle pierced the air.
"Alright cupcakes, line up!" Smith barked. I groaned. Ever since the incident with the Order, Smith thought we could use all self defense class. Optimus and the Autobots agreed. It was six agains

TFP Emblem Chapter 13: TrickedIt was official. Megatron was back. Bumblebee and Optimus had both just suffered the worst torment a person could withstand. Optimus with the Cybonic Plague and Bumblebee with that demented monster running around his processor. But the cherry on top, MECH has made itself known and Silas is as twisted as ever. We're all on edge, the other kids and I have been watching Transformers Prime season 1 and we all know what hell awaits us. But the thing is, we haven't told the Autobots. We just hope that, certain things won't happen. We never turn it on in Base or mention it for that matter, we always 'meet' up at deviantART Chatrooms or on Facebook where we send YouTube links to each other. Right now, all eyes are on Scott. His mom, a fashion designer, has been really suspicious of him lately as well as my mom. Someone will find out sooner or later, but I honestly hope later.
"Optimus you really should be taking it easy, remember what Ratchet said.." I said to Optimus while he practiced

TFP Emblem Chapter 14: The Chosen One's EscapeThis couldn't be happening. No, please Primus say this was all a dream, that I'll wake up to my normal life! No matter how much I pinch or punch or even bite myself, it is as clear as day that this is not at all a dream. That the destiny I had always been expecting was this: I am the Chosen One of the Primes and I can either protect the Earth and beyond, or destroy it. I always had a suspicion I was never meant to be a normal person and lead a normal life. I was between a rock and a hard place. Because I am the Chosen One I can open almost any Cybertronian door or lock that could be only be opened by a Prime. So I guess I was an honorary Prime. But the downside was that Megatron had a sinister purpose, as usual. It had been almost a week scene my capture. They gave me water that tasted like it was fresh from a spring and something that faintly resembled a fish of some sort. It was better than dying of dehydration. Someone had been doing their research in humans.
"Move it child!" The ve

TFP Emblem Chapter 11: Consequences Optimus and Ratchet stared at Cliffjumper in disbelief. Cliffjumper was killed then reanimated by Megatron with the help of Dark Energon, turning him into a Terrorcon or 'Zombie Con'. Instead of a decaying Terrorcon oozing purple with Dark Energon that Arcee had found, here stood the deep red warrior with a usual smirk and a golden deep voice. Cliffjumper had his arms crossed and looked at Optimus and Ratchet.
"What? Do I have something in my grill?" Cliffjumper asked as he inspected himself.
"Your, your alive." Ratchet stammered in bewilderment, looking between Optimus and Cliff.
"Course I am! What else would I be?" Cliffjumper asked a in a smart alec tone. Optimus had pieced the puzzle together in his head. The Autobots never met the children because Cliffjumper hadn't died. But if Arcee never had the Dark Energon come in contact with her.
"So doc, can you fix me up? I got ambushed while I was on Morning Patrol." Cliffjumper said showing Ratchet a

TFP Emblem Chapter 8: Mind GamesI looked at Optimus for what seemed a long time. I was still trying to comprehend what had happened. The Autobots where human. But how did this happen?? It's physically impossible. Isn't it?
"Holy crud monkeys." Mandy said in astonishment as she walked up to Bulkhead.
"This is so.." Dallas began looking at Bumblebee.
"Strange" Scott said examining Arcee.
"How in the name of Primus did this happen?" I asked Optimus, still a little stunned. Optimus shook his head.
"I have no idea Madison. If I knew I would tell you." Optimus said calmly. I still stared at him idly.
"Well? Are you going to stand there gawking at us all day or are we going to get moving?" The man standing next to Optimus growled in Ratchet's voice. The man was just a little taller than Bulkhead but just as worn as Optimus. He wore a lab coat that was very strangely colored: red streaks down his arms and on either arm was a pulse symbol typically found on ambulances. He had a streak of re

TFP Emblem Chapter 4: The Space BridgeIt was quite. Mandy, Scott, Dallas, and I where left alone in the Autobot Base. Bulkhead left to retrieve Agent Smith after a discussion of 'I don't care if Smith is a total jerk, you need to do the right thing and help him.' between myself and Bulkhead. Then Bulkhead left Scott in charge while he left to find Smith. Things where not going as planned. I expected to be abroad the Nemesis, finding schematics on the Space Bridge, but I was back at Base with the others. Mandy was practicing scales on her guitar which was decorated with different logos of punk rock bands. Dallas occupied himself with his DSI while he twirled around in a swivel chair. That left me and Scott to ourselves. Scott looked around for a minute and cleared his throat every now and then. I curled up in a small corner of a platform and stair case with my Sketch Book. I was busy working on a drawing of a Northern Ridgeback dragon. I kept two pencils in my mouth (each one for a different use) and an eraser in my left ha

TFP Emblem Chapter 3: Darkness RisingI woke up to the sound of my iPods alarm. I groaned and drug myself out of bed. I changed into a pair of old jeans and a T-Shirt. I also grabbed my jean jacket. Even though I looked 3 times bigger in it, I still loved it. I brushed my blonde wavy hair so it slightly curled in certain places. I brushed my teeth and grabbed oimy lunch and back pack. I glanced at the clock, 7:10. Personal best. I poured myself a cup of coffee and sat down next to my mom and watched the Today show. Cody Simpson would be preforming in Rock A Fella Center. I had seen him when he stopped down at the Colorado Mills on Lakewood. He was super nice, a lot taller in person. Mom was drinking her coffee and having a smoke. I tied my shoes and sighed.
"Somethin' wrong Matts?" She asked. She and my brother always called me Matts while my dad called me 'Mad Maddy'.
"Tired" I replied. I was still a little dizzy from the Electric Rod. I glanced at the clock, 7:20. Time to walk down to the bus stop.
"Com

TFP Emblem Chapter 6: ReunionI slept fitfully. Dreams of Romanaf haunted me, and his words echoed in my mind. Everything he told me about my friends leaving me to rot and Optimus finding a new, better human to call friend. I dreamed that I was in the cell, the darkness closing in all around me. And Romanaf was right in front of me, toying with me. I whimpered and tried to say 'no' as an attempt to stop the horrific dreamscape. I finally woke up with a scream and gasped for air. Someone was calling my name.
"Madison, it's alright. Your safe now." Optimus said. I looked up at him. Optimus was sitting on a Med Bed close to the gurney. Even sitting, he still towered over me. My breathing slowed but I was still rattled. I tried to hide the fear on my face from my nightmare but Optimus had obviously seen it. He lifted an arm up and set his hand beside the gurney. I eased myself into his palm, then he carefully lifted me over the railing and held me at eye level.
"Is there something troubling you litt

TFP Emblem Chapter 1: Calm Before the StormIt was the last Sunday of freedom. I was busy preparing to become a 9th Grader. A Freshmen. Or what the the older kids called 'Fresh meat'. I felt prepared enough. The wish stuck in the back of my head. None of my other wishes had ever come true. Why would this one? Is it true that if you make the same wish over and over, that'll come true? Or did it work only on birthday candles and shooting stars? I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I looked out my window to see the Rocky Mountains. My home. I smiled when I remembered the shock on two kids faces when I told them that people lived in the mountains of Colorado. I flopped on my bed and closed my eyes. I heard someone call my name. It was like they where right in front of me. I sat up and looked around. But no one was there. My sisters once told me that sometimes if you hear someone call your name when no one is around, you'll meet the person the very next day. I shrugged it off and finnished packing. Something kept telling me that thi

TFP Emblem Chapter 2: Meet Team PrimeI slept in the warmth of a heavy blanket. I felt totally and utterly relaxed. My mind wondered on to random subjects until I realized something. I moved my foot a little. Squeak! I knew the sound instantly. It was the sound a gurney made when someone moved their shoe on it. The blanket was super fuzzy. It tickled my nose badly.
"Ah... Ah... Achoo!" I sneezed as I sat up. I sneezed again. I got a quick glance around. Then I heard footsteps. I quickly laid back down and pretended to be unconscious. The footsteps came over to the gurney, paused, then walked away. I sat up and stealthily got off of the gurney. I began to tip-toe to an elevator close by.
"Where do you think your going?" A stern voice asked behind me. I froze in mid-step. I new that stern voice anywhere. it belonged to Ratchet, the Medic. I laughed nervously and turned around. He was looking at me from the Ground Bridge controls.
"Heh, heh. I'm not going any where.." I said while straightening myself

TFP Emblem Chapter 5: Escape Scott, Mandy, Dallas and Ratchet waited anxiously for the return of their friends and teammates. The first Autobot through the Ground Bridge was the Leader: Optimus Prime. The second, Bulkhead.
"Bulk!" The redhead known as Mandy exclaimed as she ran up to him. The giant warrior lowered a hand and Mandy bear hugged one of his fingers. A yellow and black scout called Bumblebee arrived carrying a small dark blue Femme known as Arcee. Dallas and Scott rushed to their Guardians. Arcee slowly stood and looked around. She was badly damaged in her torso. Ratchet rushed over and helped her into Sick Bay, Scott following close behind. Dallas hugged Bumblebee's foot as Bumblebee beeped his greetings. The Prime hung back from the group. Watching the Autobots reunite with their Charges. It warmed his spark to see such compassion between the Autobots and humans, but the Prime could not help but wonder: where was his Charge, Madison? He looked around, but she was not

Emblem: The plan Carter Romanaff paced back and fourth under a street lamp in the dark of night. It was 12:07AM, that little brat was exactly 7min late! He checked his digital watch for the fourth time. 12:08AM. He gave an exasperated sigh. Children! Carter sat on the grass. He was once powerful, a man to be feared! But thanks to that Smith, he now mingled with the commoners. At least he had friends in St. Adams detention center, he walked out of there before anybody could punish him. Sure he murdered a few people, and robbed a bank or two. But was that really grounds for the death penalty? Carter chuckled to himself, wishing he could see Madison now. She was probably going mad knowing that the police where closing in. High heeled boots tapped along the sidewalk. Cater stood up and arranged himself.
"Your late." He sniffed. The figure stood out of the light. But he could feel her glaring daggers.
"I came didn't I?" She hissed.
"Is the trap set?" Carter asked. A small black box f

TFP Emblem Chapter 15: Home sweet home

Literature / Prose / Fiction / General Fiction / Introductions & Chapters

My head pounded, my limbs felt heavy. Everything was blurry as I opened my eyes. I was having a migraine like you couldn't believe. I suddenly remembered that I had to run, and I had to run far and as fast as I could.

'Must run, must get away!!' I thought. I tried to sit up but a sharp pain from my arms forced me back down. It felt like fishhooks pulling deeper and deeper into my skin.

"AHHGH!!" I screamed as I forced myself back up but a firm hand pushed me back down.

"No, you must rest. You could have a concussion." A deep voice said above me.

"Optimus?" I whispered. My eyes adjusted to the light to see a a light blue and white hospital room. I could hear a heart monitor beeping beside me. The fishhooks where the I.V drip and a second bag attached to a pole. Ugh, the sight of the needles almost made me faint. I could feel myself pale.

"What?" A man asked. I looked over to my right to see a doctor. I nearly had a heart attack, the quickening beeps in the monitor proved it. He was tall with short black hair. He'd be a spitting image of Optimus' holoform if he didn't have that scar down his cheek, and he was missing Optimus' goatee. He looked younger too, maybe 25. I wished it was Optimus, even though I knew he'd probably gut me like a fish next time I saw him.

"What....what's your name?" I asked hoarsely. I was still trying to recover from the mental shock of waking up in a strange place.

"Baxton. Why?" He asked. I shook my head.

"Never mind. Where am I?" I asked.

"Your in Joseph Hospital. You got hit in the head awful hard. With a steel ladder." Baxton said as he looked through his papers on his clipboard. A steel ladder? Mm, that explains the headache. Baxton then started to shine a light in my eyes and sticks a tongue depressor down my throat. We went through the whole routine. I kept thinking in the back of my mind about how I was going to get home.

"Well, you seem to be OK. So do you remember what your name is? Do you remember where your from?" Baxton asked. I looked at him and sighed.

"The name's Madison. But my friends call me Maddy. The rest is classified information under the United States Government FBI, CIA, the whole bit. All I need is a phone and my necklace and I'll be on my merry way." I said as I pointed to my necklace that was laying on a desk across the room. Baxton looked at me in confusion.

"Whoa, the Government? FBI? What have you done?!" Baxton asked with a twinge of panic. I scratched my knuckles against my chin casually.

"Nothing (that I can talk about) it's what I've seen and the role I play. I need to go, it's super important that I get to Jasper. By the way, what's the date?" I asked. Baxton stared at me for a minute and the shook his head.

"January 6, 2013." He said. I sighed. Two and a half weeks since I've been gone. My family would be frantic, Optimus would be....I have no idea what his reaction would be. Baxton walked out of the room quickly without another word. I summoned my courage and carefully pulled out the needles out of my arm (and found a box of Scooby Doo Band Aids) and looked for a pair of decent clothes. I found my old clothes, they had been washed for me. I pulled on my shirt and my blue jeans and grabbed the necklace. I walked over to the window to find I was on the second floor. Great. Now all I have to do is find a way outta here. I used a nearby scalpel to saw through the band. I checked to see if the cost was clear. The nurses and a few doctors where attending to a man who just collapsed onto the white tile. Thank you, random citizen. I closed the door carefully behind me and speed walked down the halls. Hospitals made me nervous. I had a surgery in one when I was little, and all I could remember was screaming. The elevator was up ahead, so was the check out.

'Act casual, act casual.' I thought to myself. As I got closer, the more I got worried. There was a lady behind the counter. She looked almost exactly like June Darby. Long black hair, piercing blue eyes, and the motherly look about her. She looked up at me from behind her desk.

"Hello there, where are you going?" She asked.

"To the gift shop. My sis just had a baby and I wanted to get her a bunny." I said.

"Then why do you have stitches?" She asked, using her pen to point to my forehead. I gingerly felt it and winced slightly. There was a white pad, thankfully, but I could still feel them.

"I hit my head on one of the shelves. I'm a klutz." I said with a chuckle. She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Mm-hmm." She said. The elevator dinged and a mob of people flooded out. I quickly jumped in and hit the close door button. The nurse was yelling for me to get back there right this instant! The elevator moved swiftly and before I knew it, I was on the ground floor. Home and freedom was just a couple feet away. There was a service desk, I could use a phone. I ran up to the clerk.

"Hi! Can I borrow your phone real quick? My mom forgot to tell my dad that my Aunt Selma was going to have surgery today so I need to call him." I said as pleasantly as I could. She handed me the phone and I quickly dialed in the twelve digit code that was Ratchet's line.

"Hello? Who is this?" Ratchet asked snappishly.

"Hiya Doc Bot" I replied with a smirk.

"Madison? Is that you?" He asked as if it where too good to be true.

"Yuppers. Listen I need a pick up at Joseph Hospital down here in Fent, Nevada. Can you manage that?" I said casually.

"I believe I can triangulate your coordinates (Scott, look up Joseph Hospital, Fent, Nevada on that Googly thing..) stay put. I'll send Bumblebee to pick you up." Ratchet said.

"Why not Optimus?" I asked. Where was he?

"He's in Colorado, looking for you." Ratchet said. Huh boy. I sighed before continuing.

"Tell 'em I'm coming. I'll explain everything later. Thanks Ratchet, bye." I said as I hung up the phone. A few minutes later, my necklace started to glow. It did that sometimes when the Ground Bridge activated. I levitated an inch off my chest so I followed it. It lead me out to the parking garage. As I turned inside I was met with a black SUV with tinted windows. I screamed as it screeched to a halt inches from my face. The driver stepped out, it was Baxton and he didn't look happy.

"Oh shit" I said aloud. He marched over to me, now wearing a black sweater with a blazer.

"Madison? What are you doing out here??" Baxton demanded. I scratched the back of my head nervously.

"I, uh, decided to take a walk?" I said with a nervous chuckle. He tapped his foot impatiently and folded his arms over his chest. I could hear a Ground Bridge down in the garage, Bumblebee was here!

"I am leaving. For good. So hasta la bye-bye , your a brilliant doctor, bye!" I said quickly as I turned to walk away. He grabbed my shoulder and spun me back around.

"Nope, I don't think so." He said. There was a loud rev of an engine behind the engine and something clicked.

"GET DOWN!!" I screamed as I tackled him to the ground a few feet away. The SUV exploded in a flash of red. Baxton pushed me off and gaped at what was his ride.

"Your welcome." I grumbled. Something hot and sticky suddenly ran down my head. My stitches had broke. A black and purple car pulled out from behind the now burning SUV.

"Run." I said. Baxton turned to me with wide eyes.

"What?" He asked. I got to my feet quickly and pulled him up.

"RUN, I SAID RUN!!!" I yelled at him. We took off down the street with the Vehicon not far behind. Running hurt in this blasted heat, I could barely breath. Baxton took the lead and pulled us down a long alley.

"Where are we going?!" I yelled at him. He took us down a few twists and turns that must've been the space between the hospital buildings.

"Short cut! We'll be out in no time, he'll never catch us!" Baxton said cunningly. We both slammed into a brick wall. Dead end.

"You idiot" I growled as I hopped to my feet. Baxton was passed out.

"Oh Primus" I whispered. I sat on his chest and started slapping him, trying to get him to come too. The Vehicon drove towards us menacingly. I took a deep breath.

"BUMBLEBEE!!! HELP US!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. With a few beeps Bumblebee jumped down from the roof and onto the Vehicon. He started to rip the roof open when the Vehicon transformed. Bumblebee was keeping the Vehicon at a good distance with his boxing. He finally drove the Decepticon away with his blasters.

"Thanks Bumblebee, I owe ya." I said. Bumblebee nodded to me and beeped. Baxton groaned and started to wake up.

"Transform! Transform!" I whispered urgently. Baxton opened his eyes and sat up, throwing me into the brick wall.

"What happened??" He asked in exasperation. I cuffed the back of his head.

"You lead us into a dead end! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going home." I said with a sniff as I trotted over to Bee. I turned back to Baxton.

"You didn't see anything." I said sternly as I hopped into the passenger seat. Bubmlebee backed out and drove back into the garage and we Ground Bridge back to Base.

****************************************************************

"In all my years, I have never seen something so reckless! Madison you could've been killed!" Ratchet scolded. We where at Base, waiting anxiously for Optimus' return.

"I know. I got scared and I wanted to help.." I said, hanging my head in shame. Ratchet put up an angry servo.

"Don't tell it to me young lady! Tell it to Optimus, who has been worried sick about you!" Ratchet snipped angrily. We where in Optimus' quarters, he wanted a private word with me. Ratchet disappeared out of the room. I sighed. Why was I so stupid?? I was scared. I thought Optimus was gonna die. Heavy footsteps came towards the room. Optimus suddenly manifested in the doorway.

"H-hey Optimus..." I said nervously.

"We need to talk, Madison." Optimus replied ominously as the door shut behind him. His room was huge, fifteen lights illuminated everything. He didn't have much, a few Data Pads over in one corner, his berth in another, and a few weapons on a wall. Optimus sat across from me with a very, very serious expression.

"Optimus, I'm so sorry. I got scared, and I thought that I could help if I tagged along. I didn't think of the consequences and I was wrong to try and pull a stupid stunt like that." I said. I didn't meet his optics.

"Madison," He said slowly "your heart was in the right place. But you could've been killed easily. I understand that you where scared, but you cant run into a battle like that. From now on, I don't want you to leave this Base via Ground Bridge without my permission. Am I understood?" I nodded solemnly. He went on to lecture me for a good hour, I deserved it though. When he was done, it was time for me to go home. There was a massive search going on Smith would be there to help me explain to my parents what had happened. And so would Optimus. We drove though the Ground Bridge and up the driveway in silence. My mom and my dad started crying when we walked into the door. They hugged me and started to kiss me everywhere. I didn't say anything but I gently took their hands and pulled them out to Optimus.

"Mom, dad, I want you to meet my guardian: Optimus Prime." I said as Optimus transformed.
