Friends and Foes (TFP)

Chapter 4: Location

    "The Decepticons are.... too friendly, especially the Warlord." Ember said as she skipped a flat rock into the dark blue ocean.

    "They look different as well." I agreed with her as I skipped a rock as well. The moon was glowing, so it basically illuminated the whole beach. It also had a reflection on the water as well. "They seem trustworthy."

     "We just met them." Ember looked at me with a confused expression.

    "I know, but I did a little research over the last two weeks." I looked at her. "Have you of a dimension, called the Shattered Glass Dimension?"

     "Not to my aware." Ember said as she skipped another rock, creating little ring ripples.

    "It's where everything is the opposite of your own home." I said as I skipped a rock.

     "So... the black hole that we went through unwilling, was a realm portal?"

     "Basically. In our world, the Autobots are good and the Decepticons are evil. In this one--"

     "The Decepticons are good and the Autobots are evil."

    "Yeah." I said as I sat down on the sand. Ember was silent. I looked up at her when I noticed that she didn't respond. "I can't say that it is true, but it makes the most sense."

    "Understandable." Ember responded. She crossed her arms and looked up at the moon. "Do you have a plan to get us back home?"

     "Getting homesick?" I asked curiously.

    She shrugged. "In a way, yes." She then looked at me. "How are Saphirra and Violet?"

     "I'm trying to get them comfortable." I answered. "Saphirra really don't trust any of the 'Cons, which is understandable. Violet, on the other hand, is hanging around Starscream. She always around either me, him or Saphirra."

    "Speaking of the 'Cons, you have certain... feelings for Soundwave."

    I blushed furiously as I looked away from her. "I do not!"

     "Then why are you looking away from me? Also, when the bot is around you, you start to blush and stutter with your words."

    I turn my head sharply at her. "Ember!"

     She chuckled and raised her hands up innocently. "I am only stating what I see."

    I sighed. "You're mean."

    "I'm aware." Ember looked down for a moment. "May I ask you a question?"

    I looked at her confused. "Sure."

    "Do you remember a Cybertronian named Alpha Trion?"

    Strangely, my heart stung at that name. I rubbed my chest. "No. Why? Was he a Predacon?"

    She chuckled. "No." She looked up at the moon with a sad expression. She then slightly tilt her head as if she was listening to something. She then looked at me with her eyes. "Someone is trying to contact you."

........................................................................

     "Amber!"

    My eyes shot open and I sat up quickly, but only ended up hitting in the head. "Ow!" A male voice exclaimed as I scooted back and summoned a sword in defence.

    I saw Bolt clutching his head and wincing. "Bolt?" I stated as I lowered my sword.

     "Correct." He chuckled as he looked at me. "I did not mean to startle you."

    "It's alright, but what are you doing in my room?" I asked as my sword disappeared.

    "I... would like to show you something." Bolt said as he lowered his hand.

    I was a little hesitate to follow him, but I've known him for two weeks now. Also, he did help me recover. I took a deep breath. "Sure."
........................................................................

     "Bolt, where are you taking me?" I asked him as we walk through the dimly lit hallway. "And why did you want to show me something in the middle of the night?"

    "Because it has been on my mind, therefore, I can't fall asleep." Bolt replied.

    "Bless his spark." I thought.

     "You know how you have two sisters?" Bolt asked me as he turn to me. "One that is a year older than you and the other five years younger?"

     "How did you know that?" I asked in shock. I didn't even tell him how old they were.

    "Because... I have two brothers that is the same age as your sisters as well." He then looked forward. "I am sorry that I did not tell you earlier."

    "No, you did the right thing." I said to Bolt. "You are only protecting them. I can't be mad at you for doing that."

    He chuckled. "Thank you."

    "Wait... is that where you taking me? To see them?"

    "Correct."

     I smiled and looked forward as well. "Can't wait."

     "There is another Predacon with them, but he is not a Hybrid like us." He slightly warned. He slightly turned his head towards me.

     I wasn't expecting that. I looked at him, confused. "What do you mean he's not like us?"

    He fully turned to me and said, "He's fully Cybertronian, like the Decepticons. We call him a Pure Predacon. We rescued him from the Autobots."

     I looked away in silent. I know that in this dimension, the Autobots are evil. I just couldn't bring myself to believe it. I can't imagine Optimus being evil. Then again, I couldn't have imagine Megatron being nice either. "I know that you are having difficulties believe this, Amber." Bolt said in sympathy. "You are use to the Autobots being good."

     I stopped in shock. How did he know that? He stopped as well and looked at me. "How did you know that?" I asked defensively.

    "Because controlling electricity is not the only power I have." He responded calmly. He then placed his hand over his chest. "I have visions. I saw you working with them, but you guys did not harm people. Instead, you save them."

    I just looked at him. I had visions as well, but I never saw him in any of them. "Is that how you knew I was friendly?"

     "Correct."

     "So he's basically just you, except controls a different element and opposite gender." Ember chuckled.

    "You're not helping." I said.

     She only chuckled even more. "Bolt, what's the name of the Pure Predacon?"

     "His name is Predaking."
