Binary: Rough Draft Edition (Sword Dancers, Book 1)

Chapter 22: Olivia

Tyree carried Olivia through the air as he leaped onto the roof of Murphy's house.  The night air flowed through her body and stopped just as quickly when he landed.  He didn't land with a loud thud, but with the grace of a cat.  She couldn't help but think of the many times they cuddle together. At his place and at her's, she was always emotional, but Tyree was special.  She missed him, she knew it, and now that death could be around the corner, or in this case beneath them, she accepted it. She still loved Tyree.

He set her down and she adjusted her clothes. "Thanks."

He nodded, "No problem." Like that he jumped back down to get Colin. 

<So, are we going to leave Mark. I have to say experiencing your memories with both, that I prefer Tyree personally.>

<I don't know. Mark and I are still dating, we're not official. What do you mean by we?>

<Olivia, we are so similar that when phase 3 happens, I don't think I'm going to be able to leave you. Unlike the others, we like each other and that will make the bonding process harder if we were to separate.>

<No offense, Haze, but I would like my body back to myself. This is just to help you guys take Megatron back. Nothing more.>

<Pity, you're stronger than you think.>

<Thank you. How about you and Crush.>

<I miss him too, like you do Tyree, but he doesn't know how to be open. Relationships can't be one-sided.>

<Tell that to Tyree. I can't believe Ashley would rush in there like that.>

<Seems like Flair and she is in phase 3.  The can influence each other more directly.>

<How so?>

<In each phase we sort of taking turns being dominant. When you wear us, we are dominant physically and mentally, but your spirit is what drives us. When we are dormant, you are dominant physically and mentally, but our spirit drives your promotion abilities.  However, in phase three, it's more like we both share each form equally.>

<and they both had a mutual connection that allowed her to go with it. I wonder what it is, they both seem really competitive.>

<Flair is, but I think it's deeper than that. I'm glad you called your family.>

<Thanks, you been bugging me about it, but I'm glad you did. I couldn't imagine going through what you are going through.>

Just like that Olivia started to experience Haze's memories. Haze home was and the town was being attacked by Megatron forces. He, in particular, took a bazooka weapon and fired upon her home. Haze's mom, dad, and brother were with her and they manage to escape. 

"Mom, Dad, what's going on?" Haze asked.

Her parents held her hand and they raced away from the fighting. Trying to protect their children. The buildings were on fire. Other Sparks were being killed by their own. 

"Keep running child, don't look back"

Haze did look back through and she saw Megatron. Megatron pointed at them and they all froze. Megatron had hacked into their minds. He walked, with pride, towards them. His hands clasped behind his back.  He was wearing a suit that somehow managed not to get damaged. 

"Ah, you little Ice makers you." he said. "This is the first part of making the planet united. A chance for your tribe to be looked upon with equality.  Yet you all fight back."

"That's because," her father choked the words. "that's because all you want to do is spread hate. "

"Perhaps, Mr. Ambassodor. perhaps. The electric tribe has been part of our progression for years, but now this stupid united tribes nonsense is hindering our species evolution. YOU were born from metals from cold and water. What a shame that we all know that makes you weak to me."
