58Hey there guys, emzydatffan here. I'm new to this site so I'm not familiar with how to work things. So bear with me as I present to you… "A New Start"!
Featuring one of my OC's, Emmaline.
Darkness Rising Part 1
Emmaline's P.O.V.
I was sitting in an alleyway drawing in my sketchpad when I heard the screeching of tires and the roar of engines. I put my stuff back in my backpack and crouched behind a garbage bin when a boy starts running this way with a car coming up behind him. The car knocked over a garbage bin and I heard him yell, "I don't even know her!" Who is he talking about? I thought. Then, a blue motorcycle jumped over the purple car and rode up to the boy.
"Hop on!" it said and my eyes went wide. No one was riding the bike until he jumped on it. I got up and grabbed my old, dirty skateboard and rode after them.
It was hard to keep up with them since we got on to the freeway but I managed to reach them. I saw construction barriers on the side of the road and they just rode straight through them and into the open storm water drain below. I hopped off my board and ran down the hill just in time to see a younger boy with gravity defying brown hair and glasses stare at the boy and the motorbike. "Woah." he said, utterly amazed.
"You have no idea…" the other boy said as he got off the bike. I jumped down and the two of them looked at me. I was about to say something when the two purple cars from earlier came speeding down and then… they changed into the giant. Freaking. ROBOTS! I stumbled back a bit when the sound of shifting gears and metal came from behind me. I turned and gasped, seeing the motorbike change as well into a blue robot that looked like a female.
"This ends here 'cons." she said, taking an attacking pose and started running towards the other two. The two guys and me ran out of the way as the blue one dodged the bullets.
Once she got to them, she started beating the crap out of them. "Wh-What are they?" the younger boy asked. I think I'll call him Gismo, he gives off a Gismo sort of feel to me. I thought. Yeah, I have strange thoughts like this sometimes.
"Talking cars that turn into robots… or the other way around." the older boy said, who I shall call tall dude, lacking the creativity for a nickname.
"5 bucks that it's the other way around." I added. We looked at the giants fighting when I said, "Shouldn't we be like, running away or something? Or hiding? Not just standing here?"
They looked at me and just shrugged when the blue robot started doing handsprings to get away but got shot down and skidded across the pavement. All 3 of us gasped but all of a sudden, a yellow Urbana 500 (I'm a bit of a car junkie) drove off the bridge above us and shifted into another one of the mechanical giants. He landed on one of the purple ones and then delivered an EPIC right hook to the other one's face. The yellow 'bot stood back and crushed a toy racecar. He started beeping and somehow, I understood him. /I'm sorry./ it said.
"No problem," Gismo said. "really-" he was cut off by the yellow 'bot being shot backwards and having his pushed into the ground. They were about to shoot when Gismo piped up. "Leave him alone!" the robots all looked at him. "Please…" he squeaked.
"Bad call buddy." I said to him as I slightly stepped in front of the two boys. One of the purple 'bots (who I'm dubbing as evil) came after us and we all ran.
"Come on, come ON!" tall guy shouted to us. We jumped into a little sewage tunnel and I felt a bit of metal scratch against my back but it was quickly retracted. We all spun and saw that there wasn't anything there, until a happy yellow face covered over the hole. /Don't worry, they're knocked out now./ it said. Gismo and I instantly said "Thank you" at the same time. /Don't mention it./ it said before leaving.
"Don't look back." tall guy said.
"What in the world did we just witness?" I asked, thinking maybe it was some kind of dream.
"Not sure, but I'm gonna take your advise from earlier and run." After saying that, he started to walk off down the tunnel and the younger boy looked at me. I shrugged and we followed him. We decided to meet by a tree at their school the next day but I didn't want to tell them I didn't go to school so we left it at that.
-Time skip to after school next day—
Raf (I learnt his and Jack's names yesterday) and I were talking under the tree when we spotted Jack and called him over. I wasn't really listening to what Jack was saying as I was looking at a certain car coming down the road. Then I noticed it was the yellow car from yesterday. "Uhhh… guys?" They both looked at where I was pointing and Raf gasped as an excited look crossed his face. The yellow Urbana pulled up, making Jack groan.
/Hey, you two with the backpacks, you guys are riding with me./ the car beeped.
"I-It wants us to get in?" Jack said, questioning if he was right or not.
"No, just me and Emz." Raf replied.
"How can you tell?"
"'Cause he said so himself" I told him, smiling as I gestured to the blue motorcycle out the front of the school. "Your ride is over there."
He seemed hesitant once he saw it and started to say, "I-I don't think-"
"Hey, how's it going?" Raf cut in over Jack.
"Huh?" was his only reply as I hopped into the passenger seat with Raf in the backseat. The doors closed, seatbelts sliding into place and we sped off. The trip went by in a comfortable silence and later on, Jack, the motorbike and another girl joined in behind us in our strange mini convey.
-Time skip—
We were driving through the desert and I could see a stop sign and the road coming to an end. Bumblebee (I also learnt his name) wasn't slowing down though. We were about to drive smack bam into the side of the rocky mountain when it moved apart and revealed a metal corridor. I stopped shaking as we came into a large room where I saw a white and orange 'bot and a huge green one too.
"Wow"
"Coolio"
Were the words that came out of Raf's mouth and mine, both full of awe and sheer excitement. We came to a stop and hopped out. The orange and white one then asked, more like stated, "I thought there were three?"
The blue one put a hand on her hip and cocked it a bit. "Haven't ya heard? Humans multiply." She stated dryly.
Just then Raf spoke up. "I'm Raf."
"I'm Miko! Who are you?" the other girl asked after walking up to the big, green 'bot.
"Bulkhead."
"Are you a car? I bet you're a truck, a MONSTER truck! Do you like heavy metal? How much do you weigh? Ever used a wrecking ball for a punching bag?" Miko asked excitedly and quickly. I leaned over to Jack and murmured, "Remind me never to get her to start asking me questions." It just earned me a small chuckle from him as we continued to listen.
"If you guys are robots, then who made you?" Raf asked. Not a bad question.
"Pft! Puh-lease…" the orange and white 'bot said. Just then we all heard loud footsteps and turned to see a large red and blue 'bot standing there.
"We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron, Autobots for short." He said in a deep, baritone voice.
-Time skip to after explanations because I can—
"This is Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Ratchet." The large red and blue 'bot stated as he pointed to each of them who gave a greeting each, or a grunt in Ratchet's case. "And I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots."
Well. I thought. This should be a fun adventure. As if my life wasn't different enough… Well that's all there is for this chapter. I'll update soon as I've written the first 7 episodes but then there is the fact that I have school and then having to go through and watch the episodes again and all that jazz. But oh well, I'll try. -emzydatffan
