Transformers 2007 (Ray's return)

Chapter 13: Lennox

(Somewhere in an undisclosed location....)

"Somethings popping up on the radar!"

At the alarmed voice, I set another crate on the ground outside the temporary barracks.

"What? What do you mean Epps?" Hastily I turned and jogged over to a muscular man in camo gear.

Glancing over the man's shoulder I frowned, "I thought that...scorpion thing buried itself underground hours ago."

"It did," Epps flicked the screen. "But this is giving a different signal...its energy is spiking."

The ground began to shake. Cries of alarm went up and I whirled around. My eyes widened as I beheld a large black tornado of dust gathering a few miles away.

It was growing closer and closer by the second. Never had I seen anything travel so fast!

Picking up my radio, I hastily spoke into it as I kept my eyes on the storm. "Everyone brace yourself there..."

I had no further chance to speak because the storm was already upon us.

Wind tossed about and I could not see anything. "Epps! Are you there?!" I shouted out.

There was no reply.

My voice was buried in the roaring of the dark storm.

All at once there was a loud cracking of thunder-than the storm suddenly began fading into the ground-within seconds it was gone ...all was quiet.

But in the place of the tornado there stood a young man and woman-with wide eyes staring back at us.

"Uh Lennox?" Epps came up behind me, speaking in a quiet tone. "Do you see that?"

"Yep," trying to regain my startled composure, I nodded. "Yeah I do."

"Did they just?" He looked from the sky to the two kids.

"Come from the storm?" Shrugging, I began walking towards the two newcomers. "Only one way to find out."
