FELIX
I woke up not knowing what happened back there. My vision was doubling, when my vision became right, i looked at my sorroundings and my heart stopped for a split second, the ground was transparent, so you could see the ground. But i can't see the ground.........We were flying!? I almost had a panic attack, but i pulled myself together. I was on the back seat, so someone, should be at the front. Oh my God! I thought to myself. The guy looks like Cyborg from Teen Titans Go, but except he's white, he had black slightly curly hair... Well that was the only thing that i could see. Then i looked in the mirror in front of him. His eye was glowing blue, then i realized it, i stifled a scream. "T?" I hoped i was wrong, he was going to kill me. "Oh, good you're awake" Yup that was definitely T. "Where am i?" I asked. "See Felix, you're in my world now, and we have rules, that if you break those rules, you'll get executed" T explained. "What's up with your face?" I asked, "You look like Cyborg, half-robot, half-human". I explained, "You're smarter that you look" T grinned. "Gee, thanks, you'll be the first" I sarcastically said. "DON'T you sass me mortal" T snapped. "Sheesh, sorry." I apologized. "You have brought me problems Felix, you using the stone" He complained. The stone! I forgot about that. I looked down at my hands, why didn't i notice that before? I was handcuffed, it was techy or somethin', it was very comfortable, so i didn't feel it. Figures. "Where are you taking me?" I started getting nervous, i was afraid of what he was gonna do to me. I was happy with my normal life, but noooooo. I found that stone and then my life became alot more harder. I had no family, just me. My family was in an accident 5 years ago when i was just 13 years old. I was the only survivor. No that was a long time ago, don't bring the people your share of grieving. Then i realized T was calling me "FELIX!!" T shouted. "I-i'm sorry, what were you saying?" My throat suddenly dry. "We're here" He explained. He pursed his lips "Uh uhm, you okay? You suddenly look pale" T asked, his voice, something about his voice was off, he was actually concered about me?. "I'm fine, thanks" I said, "You sure, you look a bit —" "I'm fine T, really. Just revisiting the painful past." I explained. T sighed "I'll never understand humans". I chuckled underv my breath. I got the feeling again that T isn't a bad guy. Then again i put the thought aside. T opened the door and uncuffed me. I stepped out, it almost took my breath away, figuratively and literally. We weren't anywhere on Earth anymore. Everything is so techy and advanced, there was buildings as far as the eye could see. I might've been happy that Felix captured me, but yeah. "Wow, you live here T?" I asked the guy. "Yup" T said proudly. "This is Cybertron, my planet" He exclaimed. "Now let's go, there's people we need to see." T rushed me inside a building. It was breathtaking, the sight was beautiful. Words can't describe it, but i'm still gonna, for the sake of, well......You. It was cold, but just right. Everything was colored gray and blue, an unlikely combination, but this building pulled it off, and the robot from Star Wars (don't mean to offend any Star Wars fans, i come in peace). There wasn't that much humans in it, probably beacuse i'm the only human in it, sure they're all half- humans, i'll just say to just go with the flow. I got nervous stares from everyone. I just winked at them. Then we approched two guys. As we walked towards them, one of them looks like he wanted to kill me, he was very intimidating. I've got a hunch that, the other guy was holding him back. The other guy seemed like an optimist. "You should be dead" The intimidating guy said, i stared at him in amazement. He had scary blue eyes, well kept hair. Wait why did that phrase seem familiar....... Oh yeah, Chiron from the Percy Jackson/Heroes Of Olympus books. He said thise exact words to Jason Grace (RIP), when they first met. "Uh what?" I asked him, what he meant. "H! Uh, i'm sorry about my boyfriend. I'm Connor" Connor butted in. Apparently the intimidating guy's name is H? Wait wa-wa-wait! Did he call H my boyfriend? Oh sweet! I don't have a problem with homosexual people, i actually find it cute and beautiful. It's actually cool. "It's okay" I said. "T, what is this, a human? A human can't survive in our world, not unless" H gasped. "He used the stone on himself" T explained. Connor sighed, he shooked his head in disbelief. "What's the big deal with the stone anyway?" I asked. H almost punched me, but Connor stopped him. Thank God for Connor. "Look, uhm—" "Felix" I added, "Ok look Felix, the stone holds great power—". "So i've been told" I muttered. "It could also help our planet survive the attack" Connor explained. "What attack? T never said anything about saving your planet. I would've given it to you, he just said he needed it" I pondered. Both H and Connor stared at T waiting for an explanation. "I was too busy chasing this guy" T gestured at me. "Hey in my defense, i thought you were the bad guy" I defended myself. "Just take him to the lab" H demanded. "Connor go with them too, i need to be alone right now" H added. I looked at Connor, the light in his eyes died. "Ok" Connor said, there was sadness in his voice. Then H left. "Hey man, you okay?" I asked him. "Yeah it's just H isn't always like that" Connor explained. "I think, he's just worried about your planet, maybe he just wants to save it" I suggested. "Maybe" Connor sighed at the ground, i heard him sniffle. Then i did something unexpected. I hugged Connor, comforting him. He froze then he hugged me back, he buried his face in my neckand started sobbing, he must've been holding it back for the longest time. I hugged him tighter. Then he broke the hug. I looked at him, the light in his eyes came back, his aviator jacket slightly crooked, his brown eyes a bit red from crying. He dried off his tears, fixed himself up and looked at me in the eyes. "Thank you Felix, you don't know how much that means to me" He smiled at me. "My pleasure Connor" I replied. Someone behind me coughed, "I'm still here, idiots" T scoffed. "Don't ruin the moment T" I shot him a death glare, the same one i used back in my university, whenever anyone tried to mess with me, T seemed to get the message. "Let's go" T said. It's hard to believe that Connor is a cyborg, he seems more human. Then T started to walk, me and Connor followed. For the first few minutes we walked in silence, i tried to admire the view, we walked on tubes like the ones for hamsters, so we could see the outside. Then Connor broke the silence, "You asked earlier, what attack, right?" He asked me. "Yeah" I replied. "This was way before my time.........Back then cyborgs were slaves and we were under the rule of Lord Adenoid Hynkel, and before we were even called Cybertron, we were called Fidea Prime, and our old cyborgs had, had it they started a revolution and sent Lord Adenoid Hykel to another planet: Sybillon. They've been quiet for centuries, and well, we got a message, that they wanted revenge. So they're planning on attacking our planet, in a few months. And the stone you used was our only hope.....But you used it" Connor's voice faltered. He didn't need to continue it, i already know what he was gonna say. I felt guilt, building up in my body. "Connor, i'm really, really sorry" I apologized.
"Well, we might be able to reverse that, that's why we're going to the lab" Connor explained. "What are we exactly gonna do at the lab?"
"We're gonna try to extract the stone out of you" T said, i almost forgot he was there.
"You might die in the process though" T said
"Yay! I've always been excited to die" T turned around to face me "Are you sassing me, boy?!?!" T snapped at me.
I saluted at him "Yes, sir!" I answered. Connor can't help, but laugh. "Sorry, i can't help it. There's actually someone better than you at sassing" Connor continued laughing. "T, sassy?" I pomdered. "There's alot of things you don't know about me Felix" T smirked. We stopped at a door, T opened the doors. We stepped inside, the whole place was white, it was almost blinding. Alot of cyborgs were walking around saying: "Mitochondria is the power house cell" Then they all looked at me, they all stopped what they were doing, all of their eyes looked at me, their half-robot eyes scanning me up and down, probably thinking if i could be a great skeleton model. "Everyone, this is Felix, yes, he's human. He used the stone on himself, we need to get it out of him." T explained everything in just two sentences, wow, straight to the point. Then all of them started putting their tables to the sides.
"Felix, sit there" Connor gestured at the chair in the center of the room. I walked towards it, and then some cyborgs was rolling out a machine that looked like a death ray. "Hey, is that safe?" I asked Connor as i was sitting down. "It's completely safe, if it isn't, why is Q still alive?" Connor said. Then a cyborg said:
"Uhm, sir Q is gone"
"Oh, bummer" Connor smirked. "I'm kidding dude, Q is right there" Connor pointed to a cyborg, who was suppressing a laugh. I could see T chuckling from the front. Connor walked away from me, as far as he could. Then another cyborg barged in. Blue eyes, intimidating, well kept hair, looks like could kill you, would actually kill you. It was H.
"Connor are you okay?!" H asked, his face and voice filled with concern.
"I'm fine H, thanks for asking" Connor assured him. "We're trying to extract the stone from Felix" T said, trying to change the topic. In all honesty, i actually liked hugging Connor, he says, i don't know how much that meants to him. Little did he know, i needed that hug too, it's been a long time since someone hugged me. The way that he hugged me back, reminds me of my younger sister: Francine. She would always burry her face in my neck, even if she wasn't crying. Connor smelled of cotton candy, like he reeks of cuteness and rainbows, which is actually awesome. "Great! Let's get started then" H exclaimed. Then the cyborgs started rolling the 'death ray' in front of me, all of them looking grim. I was getting scared, i didn't want to die, yet. Connor walked towards me . "Ok, this is gonna hurt like Hades, ok?" Connor explained. "Oh, don't sugarcoat it" H grunted.
"Babe, do me a favor" Connor said. H walked towards Connor. "Yeah, babe?" H asked
"Shut up" Connor said, "Please".
"Oh, okay. Dang, have you been practicing those puppy eyes?" H asked. Connor didn't answer, he just grinned. Then i heard the ray hum with power. Its tip pointed at me. Sweat builded up on my forehead. Everyone stepped back. I took one last glance at Connor, H and T. Was it just me or T looked teary eyed . T, H and Connor's half-robot eyes glinted in the dark. There eyes were the only robot part, they would actually pass for a full human.
"It's been nice knowing you all!!!" I shouted across the distance. I doubted they could even hear me, but if i was gonna die, i wanted it to be my last words. Then, the ray developed a laser and it hit me in the chest. At first it felt like nothing, then it hit me, literally. I made inhumane noises. I looked at H, and he was smirking, like he liked the sight of me in pain. Then i looked at Connor, he looked like something was holding him back. The pain was......... well painful. Like imagine, the feeling you get when you get slapped by a piece of wood over and over again, and imagine if that piece of wood was embedded by nails put on upside down and the piece of wood was also on fire. Yeah, that's how painful it is. I let out a gutteral scream. My breathing became ragged, i felt like sleeping and never waking up, my brain feels like putty, my nose feels like it's burning, my chest feels like it's about to explode, my lung felt like i was inhaling water and sand. I felt like my soul was seeping out from my body, so this is how dying would feel like, then finally the ray stopped. I looked at my body, i was trembling, my clothes was burned off and i was just wearing my underwear, thank God i was still wearing my underwear. I was still in shock, my body was shaking. T, H and Connor ran towards me. I tried to stand up, but my puny body failed me. I fell down, luckily Connor caught me. "He's burning up" Connor's voice seemed like it was so far away. Then sirens alarmed everywhere, but to me the sound was so faint. "Oh no, The President knows we're here" Connor said.
"Isn't h-he s-s upposed t-to know-w we're here?" I stuttered.
"He doesn't know you're human and used the stone. He would've killed you to get the stone, if he gets his hands on you" T explained
"Oh, is there anyone else who wants to kill me?" I asked weakly. H raised his hand, was it just me or is Connor turning blue as if he's mad.
"HUNTER!!!" Connor snapped. He was clearly mad at, H? "Great name, Hunter" I supressed a smile. "You've got some nerve—"
"HUNTER!!!" Connor snapped again, ok he was really, really mad at Hunter/H, or whatever you want to call him. T was holding back a laugh. Ok, fine, i'm sorry" Hunter apologized. "We have to get Felix out of here" Connor said looking at T.
"You take him to Earth" He said to T.
"But that's—"
"What, crazy?! Hahaha. No. Just go" Connor gave me to T, now my hand was on T's shoulder trying to maintain my balance. Me and T headed to the door. I could hear Connor and Hunter's argument from behind me. Then we headed out and waited for the love birds to come out from the room. T grabbed some clothes and a medical kit. He attended to my bruises and helped me put on my clothes, so now i was wearing a fresh pair of plain blue t-shirt and black jeans and white converse. I felt kinda' better. Then we waited for Connor and H
