Angel From A Dream

Chapter 10

Strongarm looked at the man as he turned off the comm systems, "You're Silas' nephew?"

"Yep," the guy responded as he turned to face her.

"That explains how you got their equipment and knowledge of us. Listen, I'm sorry about what happened to your uncle but this isn't--" She starts trying to reason with him.

"Isn't the way to go about it!?" He cuts her off, yelling. "What would you damn machines know about feelings and loss? Because you supposedly have the same kind of feelings as humans? I find that hard to believe. You all are still just machines..."

"Then why did your uncle want to do research on us so much and why are you wanting to do the same research if we're just machines?"

"Because you're still different. Nothing like the machines we have."

"What happened to the rest of your family? Your parents?" Strongarm asks trying to change the subject.

The guy snarls at her, upset with her for asking such a personal question. But before he can say anything one of his guys comes onto the monitor, "Sir, we have a situation!"

"What kind of situation?"

"The male Cybertronian is going berserk!" The guy shows the cell where Steeljaw is continuously ramming the doors to break free, "We've done all we could to stop him but he won't stop!"

Strongarm looks at the monitor and watches Steeljaw ram his shoulder into the cell door one after another, relentlessly. Of course, he would be trying to free himself. He's using me to keep them distracted while he breaks free and leaves. Typical...

Before she could finish her thoughts the guy spoke again, "He's wanting that female! He's trying to get to the female!"

"YOU FILTHY HUMANS!! I SAID TO GIVE ME BACK STRONGARM!!"

Strongarm was shocked when she heard him shouting for her. He's doing all this just to get to her? She thought he was doing it to save himself, not for her.

The guy growls, "Let's get her back to him before he ends up killing himself! We need both of them alive!"

His men came over and removed the straps, "Get up! You can walk yourself to the cell!" The guy says as he walks over to her. His men grabbed their guns and pointed them at her to ensure she didn't try anything and they motioned for her to start walking.

Strongarm started walking and her hand instantly shot to her chest as a burning pain shot through her. They went on walking toward the cells, all the way Strongarm could feel pain shooting through her body. On the way to the cell, Strongarm noticed a room with what looked like a Ground Bridge in it. These humans must have found out about it and somehow got one to do some research on it. How they got it she's unsure, but she could use it to get out with the right plan.

"Enough! We're bringing the female back!" One of the soldiers tells Steeljaw. Steeljaw rams into the bars one last time before looking at the human, "They're bringing her back as we speak!"

Steeljaw lets out a vicious snarl, "This better not be a trick!"

The guy just shakes his head before looking over to the way he knew his boss would be coming with the Cybertronian female. Not a moment later, the other humans come into sight, along with Strongarm who is still holding her chest. Steeljaw sees her and his protective instincts get even higher than before. He can tell she's in a lot of pain and she looks as though she's gonna pass out at any moment.

He growls viciously at the humans, baring his fangs, with his claws extended out. He glares at them as he thinks of all the ways he could brutally kill them, with no remorse. He stands back as they open up the cell door to let Strongarm walk in, all the while glaring daggers into the humans, namely the leader.
