the Frozen Cube

chapter three

I was in shock as I saw the motorcycle transform into a robot. but it wasn't like the robots you see in the transformers movies. this robot looked almost human. apart from the blue, glowing eyes; you wouldn't be able to tell her apart from a person.

I held the wrench in front of me, still ready to use it at any moment. "What is going on?"

"my kind is in danger, your world is in danger. And I thought I could get help from the humans, they've helped my kind before. but I guess I'd be the first of my kind to look like your kind."

"you mean there are more of you? you're kind has come here before?" I was so scared, but I couldn't go any further back.

"please, put the wrench down so we can talk about this."

I was hesitant to put my only weapon on the ground, but what was a small wrench going to do against multiple tons of alien metal. So, I put the wrench down and held up my hands. "please don't hurt me,"

"I don't want to hurt you, I need your help."

"My help? why?"

"because I thought if I could gain the trust of one human, the others might also trust me. something very powerful was left behind on your planet eons ago. it's the thing that creates Cybertronians; the cube. well, I was a special case, but let's not talk about that. do you know what your superpowered metahumans could do if they got ahold of it? or if the Decepticons did?"

I started shaking my head in circles because this was coming at me way to fast. then, I stopped. "Ok, so transformers are real? the cube is on earth? and it could spell out apocalypse if it gets into the wrong hands; and metahumans who have already caused a lot of death and destruction are looking for it?"

"that about sums it up, yeah."

I almost fell over. "can we talk about this later? this is a lot to process."

the robot girl looked at me, "I understand." then, she transformed back into a motorcycle to wait until I was ready to talk about possibly saving the world.
