Zara's New Life

Chapter 4: Training and Intruder.

I sighed happily as I walked through the corridors, going nowhere in particular.

This place has become like a second home to me now. Ratchet has come up tome a couple times to do a check-up. He also asked for the reason why my injuries heal quicker than the average human, he thought it to be a part of my abilities, he was correct.

I somehow made my way to the training room of the Autobots. Everyone was there, Elita-1, Arcee, Chromia, the two sets of twins(Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, and skidz and Mudflap), Prowl, Hotrod,Redalert, IronHide, Ratchet, Bumblebee and Optimus. They were all gathered around the edge of the training room.

The other Autobots made it back from their fact finding mission while Bee, IronHide, Sam, Mikaela and I were out shopping yesterday afternoon. I was introduced to them as soon as we got back and Optimus explained everything to them, and they were yet to see my abilities including Skidz and Mudflap.

"There you are. I was about to come and get you." Said IronHide

"Let me guess. Training?" I asked walking up to him. There wasn't a set time for my training session yet.

IronHide smiled. "Today is going to be about your fighting skills. You'll be fighting live dummies..."

'Live dummies!!! While everyone is here!!! Are you kidding me Hide?!'I thought.

"They are programmed to fight back and use weapons. The weapons are set to stun, so if you get hit by them, they know to back down." IronHide finished.

"Got it."

"Just do your best."

"Ok, I will."

IronHide left me in the middle of the room and he went and stood by Optimus.

A few meters down the room the floor opened up. I quickly changed into my dragon form and got into a fighting stance. I heard murmurs around the group watching. I saw the tops of three heads coming up, I waited till I knew there was only three, I opened my mouth a little and started charging my attack. A green light appeared in front of my mouth, the light looked as if it was flowing into my mouth. The three dummies were finally fully lifted up into the room.

"Round one, start." I heard a voice come over the P.A system. I quickly aimed for the middle one and let loose an earth bullet before the dummies had even moved. The bullet split into three just as they were about to take a step and on impact, the bullets destroyed them completely. "Round one, end." the whole round lasted only three seconds. And I haven't even taken a step.

A second lot of dummies started to appear, four mech looking ones and then when I thought it was only going to be them, a more animal looking one appeared, pacing back and forth in front of the others. A grin came across my face. 'Now this could be interesting.'I thought.

"Round two, start." And as soon as the word start was said the animal like dummy and I ran towards each other, it growling at me, I growling a tit. Just a few meters left between us, we both jumped for each other,colliding in mid-air, we rolled over one another when we hit the ground before jumping a part. I shot a bright beam of light at the other four dummies, slicing them in half. For some reason I wanted this animal like one to be the last one to be defeated. Now my dragon instincts had completely taken over. We circled each other, both our tails lashing from side to side. It finally decided to use it turrets on its hips. I used my wing to block the attack. I lunged at it,forcing it to the ground. I had my front paws on its chest, I went for its throat, ripping part of one of the main cables along with many others out with my teeth. It off lined instantly.

"Well, that was a shame. You were nothing but a worthless pile of scrap metal." I said before trotting back to where I had begun the training session.
