Well, This Is Unexpected

Why do humans have so many senseless large buildings? I mean, jeez. This town has countless garages, offices. This is worse than Manehatten.

I paused and looked around at the table cans everywhere, a few homeless people crowded around them shivering and I forced myself to not join them. Just because they’re homeless doesn’t make them bad people. Most of the time.

Most just want a friendly face to talk to. That and thirty dollars but that’s a story for later.

“You run fast,” Rainbow commented and I jumped as she stood next to me. “You do realize you almost got hit by a cop car, right? Lucky he wasn’t after you. Never seen a cop in a Mustang before, that was sick!”

Yeah, sick. I just didn’t exactly know what one that was. Prowl did say there was two sides. And based on the to punish and enslave on the side of the Mustang, I had a feeling it wasn’t exactly one of the nice Transformers.

“Yeah, I know. What are you doing here, Dash?” I asked and she folded her arms across her chest.

“This way, I can force you to spend time with me. I’m fun to be around, trust me,” Rainbow smirked before nudging me. “Hey, here comes Lyra and Bon Bon running to us. Looks like your girlfriend missed you.”

I turned pink and resisted the urge to point she wasn’t my girlfriend. I doubted she would listen anyway. I did tell Bon Bon this was a date, after all.

“Go!” Lyra waved her hands and I tensed up slightly along with Rainbow. It wasn’t normal for her or Bon Bon to look genuinely terrified. “Run, damn it!”

“What?” Rainbow managed to get out as a black robot with red eyes slid around the corner, flipping a wrecked car out of his way. “The fuck?”

I took a step forward and Bon Bon tackled me. Ow. I was gonna feel that in the morning, for sure.

“This monster thing just attacked us,” Bon Bon rolled off me and Lyra jumped over me, giving us a very unwanted view up her skirt. At least humans wore underwear. “Lyra!”

“Shush, we’re running for our lives. Lecture me later!” Lyra snapped angrily and I flinched. She almost never got angry, ever. “Woah!”

We all rolled aside as a rusty yellow orange Camaro slid around the corner and knocked the red eyed robot onto the ground with a thud that made the ground shake.

Rainbow gulped slowly as the Camaro stopped next to us and the passenger door opened.

“We should really get in,” I inhaled and grabbed Bon Bons hand. “Trust me. I think this one is friendly.”

“I don’t want to,” Bon Bon shook her head as the other robot started getting up. “On second thought, let’s go.”

The four of us somehow all got in the cramped Camaro interior with Lyra and Rainbow in the back and the door slammed shut, the shifter moving to drive and the car took off.

I looked in the mirror as the other evil looking robot transformed into a police car and I cursed myself internally. Of course I was right about the Mustang car being evil.

“Seriously?” Bon Bon deadpanned as Rainbow toyed with the radio.

“We’re in a police chase. We need to have a badass rock song playing in the background,” Rainbow explained and we all rolled our eyes. “Ah, there we go. The Used is always good in situations like this.”

May the gods have mercy on my poor damned soul.

“I hate to interrupt, but the murder car is getting closer,” Lyra called out as a window started getting closer. “Uh guys?”

“Oh we’re so gonna die,” Bon Bon remarked and squeezed her eyes shut. I hated to say it, but she was right.

We all screamed as we slammed through the glass with the police car behind us.

The wheel yanked to the left and we spun around as concrete pillar, shoving us all against the windows with a cry. In all honesty, if we weren’t being chased by an evil robot, I’d have thought this was cool.

The other car mimicked what we did and white smoke rose off the back tires. Okay, that was kinda bad ass to see a police car do.

“I’m scared,” Lyra muttered as we shot back out where we had came from.

Yeah, me too.

The car stopped in a dark alley of the nearby recycling center and the head lights shut off, the doors locking as Bon Bon and Rainbow frantically tried to unlock the doors.

It was night time out, which should tell you how long we were running for. And I had seen Prowl briefly behind the Decepticon but he had been left behind fairly quickly. As much as I love the Crown Vic, there’s no way it’ll keep up with two muscle cars.

We all froze at a yelp of a siren as the Decepticon drove past with the lights flashing.

“Oh no,” Rainbow whispered as we all listened to the engine started. “Here we go.”

God, I loved that engine sound. Pure sex. Better than sex, actually. The idle was nice too. I had heard guys and girls alike at school saying cars turned them on, but I never knew how true it was.

The head lights turned on and we shot forward, the Decepticon backing up to slam into us presumably and Bon Bons car yanked the wheel to avoid it, driving over a bridge.

The car spun around and we shot out, rolling as Bon Bons car transformed.

The three girls screamed as I watched again in awe as the back half of the car formed the legs and two feet with heels slammed into the ground, the hood angling up with the lights staying on and the head came from the chest area and he took a few steps back before raising his fists.

“Sick,” Rainbow whispered as she stood up to stand next to me.

We all ducked and screamed, me included as the police car transformed and tackled the orange yellow robot, the two rolling across the ground.

The Decepticon was kicked off into a wall and stood up, a spinning silver spiked thing held in his hand. His chest split open and a scary, human sized silver robot jumped out.

“This one’s for the cause!” The Decepticon shouted and slammed the spiked weapon into the orange robot, sending him flying.

“Well, shit,” I cursed softly as the robot ran at us. “Run!”

We all took off running, Bon Bon hot on my heels. And great, so was the other Decepticon. Fuckin hell.

“Oh my Celestia!” I shouted and I jumped over a wall. “Keep going, damn it.”

“That’s what she said!” Bon Bon shouted back and I rolled my eyes as the Decepticon jumped past me, grabbing Bon Bons skirt and I kicked it.

“Ow!”

Stupid, fucking metal robot. Stupid me thinking that would hurt him at all.

"Where is it? Where is it?" The Decepticon snarled at us and we both froze in fear.

I looked back at Lyra and Rainbow running to us with some metal saw looking thing as Prowl drove over the same bridge we had and transformed with a silver rifle in his left hand that he started shooting at the taller Decepticon. About fucking time.

Prowl slammed the butt of his rifle into the other Decepticon as I turned my attention back to Lyra cutting up the silver Decepticon.

“How it’s feel to have no body, you little bitch?” Bon Bon cursed and took a running start to kick the head away before I could warn her. It went flying away and she danced around holding her foot. “Fuck, fuck, fuck!”

I sat down next to her and we all watched the two Autobots approaching us, Prowl folding his rifle up and setting it on his back.

“Are you alright?” Prowl knelt in front of me and the others stared.

“Hey, you’re that cop car. From the cafe. That dropped Sunset off,” Rainbow realized and everyone looked at me. “What the hell is really going on?”

“This is Prowl. He’s an Autobot. And I’m assuming the other one with him is too,” I answered and Prowl nodded.

“His name is Bumblebee,” Prowl answered and picked up the cut up pieces of the small Decepticon. “I see someone killed Frenzy. Good. Barricade is gonna be out of commission for a while.”

Fascinating names. Made sense, I suppose. Frenzy was well, in a frenzy.

“What happened the other night? With that symbol in the sky?” Bon Bon asked as she approached Bumblebee hesitantly.

“Message from Starfleet,Captain,” a voice said from inside Bumblebee. “Throughout the inanimate vastness of space and angels will rain down like visitors from Heaven! Hallelujah!”

“Sounds like a radio,” Rainbow mused and raised an eyebrow. “Do you like, talk through the radio?”

Bumblebee started clapping and pointed at her.

“Thank you, you’re beautiful! You’re wonderful, you’re wonderful,” Bumblebee lowered his hands and started transforming, popping open the doors. “Any other questions you’d like to ask?”

“I’m beautiful?” Rainbow blushed and rubbed her neck. “Heh, thanks. Anyway, we gotta get the others. I don’t keep any secrets from Applejack or the others.”

I looked and Prowl and we had a silent argument as I gestured at Rainbow and Lyra.

“Fine,” Prowl sighed and transformed, his doors opening. “Get in. We’ll rendezvous in thirty minutes at the nearby abandoned park. Don’t be late, Sunset.”

I gave a nod as I walked to Bumblebee with Bon Bon, pausing to watch Prowl take off with Lyra and Rainbow.

“You have a lot of explaining to do,” Bon Bon told me sternly and she pointed at me. “In the robot. Now.”

I had a feeling that was gonna be the case.
