Count On Me

Okay, this is my first Transformers story, so no angry comments. The title comes from the song Count on Me by Default. I don't own Transformers or this title. Remember, this my version of the series animated, so I threw in a few characters from the movies and a couple add-ins. Enjoy!

Summary: Kira Barlow was just an average 17-year-old girl, except she has no parents, no past, and she's a techno-organic…actually, she's not even from Earth. She's been a government experiment her whole life. When she escapes, she encounters a rogue Decepticon and is saved by an Autobot who seems strongly familiar to her. She teams up with the Autobots on their quest to stop the Decepticons; but in their journey, mysteries begin to unfold and Kira slowly pieces the puzzle of her past together. What planet was she from? How'd she get to Earth? And why do both the Autobots and Decepticons need her special abilities?

It was dark, and the lab that was surrounded by mysteries and dark secrets only made it seem darker. In one of the rooms, a few scientists in white coats crowded around computers and a large tank filled with some sort of yellow liquid. Inside the tank was a young teenage girl, about 17, that was asleep with a mask with a tube connected over her mouth to breath. Connected to her body were various wires that connected to the computers.

The girl wore a one-piece body suit that was black with a silver outline. She was very petite and frail-looking. She had shoulder-length purple hair that was in a pixie hair-cut (think Alice from Twilight). But her hair color seemed almost a golden brown due to the golden liquid she was in. She was in a peaceful sleep. Two scientists, a man with short white hair and a woman with long brown hair and glasses, stood in front of the tank staring at the girl; the woman had a data pad with her.

"How long has she been in stasis, Dr. Kheen?" The man asked. The woman, Dr. Kheen, used her fingers to type something on the futuristic, clipboard-looking, data pad.

"About five years, Dr. Shane, sir." The woman had a soft, yet authoritative, voice. An alarm started to go off and a large computer screen turned on and showed the girls vital signs out of control.

"Sir, Experiment MBE-2 is waking up from stasis. Scanners show her powers increasing exponentially!" Just as the man at the computer said that, a crack was heard, followed by the sound of broken glass with shards flying across the room with the golden liquid. The scientists ducked down to avoid serious injury. When they looked up, they gasped at the sight before them.

The girl's tank had exploded and the girl was standing on the platform of the tank, the mask with the tube still attached to her mouth. She was dripping with the golden liquid. Her eyes glow a bright blue, as did the rest of her body. Her face intensified with anger and the glow's radiance intensified too to a crimson red.

"With the power of Primus, I will dispel out all evil." She said in a mechanical voice. A metal armor appeared over her body and her head encased in a metal helmet with a mask.

The armor around her chest and bottom were bulky (color is purple), while her arms and legs had a thinner sheet of metal (plain silver), yet, were still tough. Her helmet was purple that encased her hair in it with two horn-like antennas, with a silver mask covering her nose and mouth. Around her eyes were black like shadow and her eyes remained glowing bright blue that showed hatred, a crimson glow still surrounded her body.

Her glow expanded around the room.

The building was located in scenic nowhere in the middle of the desert. Sitting a good distance away on the road, Barricade watched the place with suspicion in his alt form.

'I don't know why Megatron wanted me to come all the way out her in this slaggin' wasteland just to keep an optic out for anything strange at this pathetic human institute.' He thought bitterly. All of a sudden, he detected a huge energy source from within the building. He quickly reversed when the building exploded, nearly missing the falling debris. His sensors picked up movement from within the burning building. He was stunned.

'Surely no human could've survived such an explosion. But what could've caused this?' He slowly rolled forward and stopped a hundred feet from the building. Sure enough, there was the same energy signature as before the explosion. The flames cleared around a small figure in a glowing force field. All he could see were the glowing bright blue eyes and the dark silhouette of a young girl in metal armor with horns. He stared at it, but before he could do anything, the creature took off into the sky with rocket boosters in a flash.

Barricade locked onto it and began to pursue it. He contacted Megatron.

'Barricade to Megatron.'

'What is it Barricade? This had better be important.'

'It is, Sir. I believe I found our little runaway.'

'Well, what are you waiting for? An invitation? Pursue her and capture her!'

'Already in pursuit, Lord Megatron.'

'Very good. Oh, and Barricade?'

'Yes, my liege?

'Bring her back alive, or don't come back at all. I will not tolerate failure!' The com-link ended and Barricade continued his pursuit with his light on.

He would not fail. The prisoner was returning to Megatron one way or another.
