Sidestreaker

Chapter 11-Minicon, readying up, and Getting Friends out of electrocution

I turned to Banachek. "But that's not the only energy it shields, is it?" Banachek shook his head. "Please step inside. They have to lock us in." he said, gesturing to a room off to the side. Everyone entered the room. I felt a little concerned about being locked in close quarters with Banachek and Simmons. There were scratches all around the room, causing her to think that something had happened in the room that I didn't want to know about. The doors closed and locked behind Me. "Oh, wow," the black man, Glen, muttered as Epps looked around. "What's that?" he asked. "Freddy Krueger done been up in here or something?" Epps said and I snorted as Glen started laughing. "Oh, no, man," he said. "Freddy Krueger have four blades, man. That's only three. That's Wolverine! Right? That's Wolverine!" Glen told Epps. "Glen's right, Kruger had blade mitts, while Wolverine has retractable Adamantium claws." I said continuing Glen's comment and Simmons glared. 

"That's very funny. Anybody have any mechanical devices? BlackBerry? Key alarm? Cell phone?" he told them unemotionally. "I got a phone," Glen answered as he pulled out his phone and gave it to Simmons. I instantly got a bad feeling as Simmons placed the phone inside a box. He connected a wire that led from the Cube outside to the box that he had placed the phone inside. Simmons passed out goggles, which everyone put on besides me, and bright flashes started coming from the phone. Everyone besides me flinched from the brightness, but I stared on, my face stoic. Simmons started speaking. "We're able to take the Cube radiation and funnel it into that box," he said. He flicked a switch, and the phone transformed into a tiny Transformer. I assumed that because of its red eyes, it was a Decepticon. It pulled out a small gun and started to shoot the glass box, trying to get out. However, the glass must have been too strong, because it stayed inside the box. "Mean little sucker, huh? Kind of like the itty-bitty Energizer Bunny from hell, huh?" Simmons asked. "It's cute," I commented, causing everyone to stare at I like grown a second head which I decided to do for laughs. "What? It's all nice and tiny and small and.... yeah, never mind." I said shrugging them off. The small robot shot a mini rocket that hit the corner. It tried to break free of the box again, pulling out all the stops. "Oh, he's breaking the box," Simmons observed, watching cracks start to form. 

He reached for the switch that he used to bring the little robot to life. I assumed that it would kill the tiny robot, but then the whole base started shaking. I looked up, knowing a Decepticon shot at the Hover Dam power grid. Everyone in the room then glanced at each other. "Gentlemen, they know that the Cube's here," Keller announced and I nodded. "What do you use to shield the energy of the Cube probably works the other way around, but not as well. My guess is that a Decepticon took out the power grid." I said to Simmons and Banachek. "Who?" Banachek asked. She fixed him with a serious expression. "The second in command of the Decepticons is what I'm thinking of if you have Megadump in the other room" I answered and Simmons glared. "And how do you know that?" he said. "Because, you idiot, that Megatron would have someone come for him if they knew where he was. Duh. Think if in WW2 the Russians and Nazis always try to have a backup plan and then a backup plan for the backup plan." I said to them. Before Simmons could reply, a S7 technician entered the room. "The NBE- One hanger has lost power," he reported. "And the backup generator isn't going to cut it." "Your backup generator is screwy, then," I told him. I was ignored. "Everyone, into the NBE-One chamber now!" Banachek ordered. 

They entered the arms room, where there were multiple S7 cars and boxes of what I assumed were guns. "Millimeter sabot rounds on that table!" Simmons said, pointing at the table he meant. "That's good," Lennox told him as I nodded. "Get all the ammo you got. Everything you can carry. Bring it." I teleport to my room grabbed all my weapons (bow' n' arrows, flamethrowers, daggers, tomahawks, grenades, missiles(Peacekeeper, Nike, Polaris, Poseidon, and trident), bazooka, pistols, revolvers, rifle, shotguns, AK-47s, machine guns, Antitank guns, katanas, throwing knives, nunchucks, metal baseball bats, Machetes, Kukri, Sabers, Phaser Rifle, sais, scythe, Vibhotgun sword) putting half of them in the bag that I could pull them out from and then teleported back before anyone notice I was gone. Another rumble shook the dam, and everyone froze. Nobody said anything until Simmons dropped something on the ground. "You gotta take us to our cars. You have to take us to our cars. They know what to do with the Cube." Sam finally said and Simmons scoffed at Sam. "Your cars?" he repeated. "They're confiscated." "Then unconfiscated them," I snapped. "Their cars can save humans from being killed by robots, for God's sake! Just take us to the car!" Glen said to Simmons and he shook his head. 

"We don't know what will happen if we let it near this thing!" he protested angrily. "You just wanna sit here and wait and see what happens?" Sam demanded, sounding pissed. Simmons shook his head again. "I have people's lives at stake here, young man!" he said. Before anyone could blink, I shoved Simmons into a nearby vehicle, putting my elbow on Simmons' throat and pinning him to the car. "Take us to our cars!" I shouted. Soon it seemed like everyone was pointing a gun at another person. Lennox glared at the S7 agent who was pointing a gun at me. "Drop it," he ordered him. "Drop your weapon, kid. There's an alien war going on and you're gonna shoot me?" Simmons told me and I growled. "We didn't ask to be here. I'd much rather be at home right now and going about my own small-town life. I think all of us would like that. But we're not." I reminded him.  "I'm ordering you under S7 executive jurisdiction," Simmons snapped, narrowing his eyes at them and Epps glared. "S7 don't exist," he reminded Simmons as I smirked and Lennox nodded. "Right and we don't take orders from people that don't exist." Will said to Simmons. "I'm gonna count to five," Simmons told them. Will walked forward, pointing the gun he had on Simmons' head. "Well, we're counting to three," I replied. "How about that?" Will said to him. "Simmons? I'd do what they say. Losing's really not an option for these guys and even for that girl." Keller said as Simmons sighed with me letting him go but Will still have a hold on him. 

"All right. Okay. Hey, you want to lay the fate of the world on the boy's Camaro and power girl's lambo? That's cool," he replied. Lennox let Simmons go (a bit unwillingly) and pushed him towards the door. Simmons walked out of the room, keeping a wary eye on me and Lennox as he did. The others followed him. As they walked towards the room that Bee and Sides was being held in, I heard squeals of pain that I could tell were from Bee and sometimes Sides. I ran forward to get ready to hit someone. After a few seconds, they opened the doors of the room, and I saw Bee and Sides chained like Megatron had been. There were humans surrounding them, observing their reactions to different things. "Stop, stand by!" a S7 agent shouted. "Stand by!" Sam strode in angrily. "No, no! Stop! You gotta stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" he exclaimed, waving his hands in the air to get everyone's attention. I hurried into the room and yanked one of the men away from Sideswipe. "Let them go!" I snapped angrily. Bee, seeing them, drew his weapons and pointed them at the agents. Sideswipe stood up, grabbing me, and pulled out his blades after putting me on his shoulder. "Listen!" Sam and I told them. "The Cube is here and the Decepticons are coming." Sam said franticly. "Calm down, Bee, Sides," I said. "Back up a bit, okay," Sam ordered to the agents. "They're friendly. They're fine. Okay, c'mon. Put the guns down. They S7 people aren't going to hurt you two." I said trying to get Sideswipe's attention from the agents. 

"Are you sure, RJ." Sideswipe whispered "Yes Sides, I'm sure. They have the Cube in the other room and Megadork in the one next to that." I said to him with Bee listening as well. "We better hurry then before things get out of hand even more then." Sideswipe said to everyone. "We know, I'm pretty sure the rest of the Autobots are coming with Simba, Shika, and Derek. But the Decepticons are getting ready thou." I said to Sides. He smiled at me knowing that Sunstreaker isn't pleased with being away from either of us right now. "Knowing Sunny, he isn't pleased with being away from either of us right now. He would want to know that neither of us are hurt." Sideswipe said out load. Everyone looked at Sideswipe and wondering what he meant by that, but, didn't say anything about it. Everyone was by the door waiting for people to get ready to go get the Cube, but, worried that Megatron was behind the door or was quickly thawing by the cube. "Can you put me down please, Sides." I asked him and he smiled quickly as he did so, everyone can go.
