I'm Friends With the Monsters (AOE)

Chapter 11: Warriors

I was gaping in shock. So... I'd been chosen? That night?

"Indeed." She said, as if reading my thoughts. "Narrating yourself in the third person. Unique." She noted, smiling.

Aw man!

"Do not worry." She held my hand. "I understand."

Exactly what I needed to hear. "... So my choice is, choose you and live, or reject you and die."

"Indeed. I shall not hold it against you if you choose the latter."

My eyes closed. Do, or die. No escape. This was it. My time. Stand strong, stay with this, no matter the risk nor the cost.

"I choose... you. I'm keeping you. You're going to stay alive awhile longer."

She smiled. "You have made a wise choice. Do not doubt yourself." With that said, she hugged me! "You shall be a strong warrior, Gabby."

I hugged her back, and I felt her melt and fuse into me! I trembled as we became one. I was the AllSpark... I wasn't about to quit on the Autobots. Now, or ever.

I swear, I could hear voices.

".... lot of cages..."

"Creepy critters in here..."

"I don't wanna know what's in the big cage."

"What's this?"

"Hound don't do it!"

"Awh, it don't look very dangerous in there!" A pause. "Oh that's just ffff... that's straight ugliness." Another pause. "GAH! I'M HIT! I'M DOWN! IT'S MELTING- IT BURNS!"

It was about then I realized it wasn't a dream. "heh... he-..." I croaked, trying to call out. Everything felt cold and numb. Optimus seemed to be out of it as well. "op... mus... w-way... up!" I was trying to say, 'Optimus wake up' but it wasn't going that well.

He groaned though, and his eyes flickered open. Thank god! "Gabby-" He was cut off by a familiar voice saying,

"Take this bitch." And a gun sounding. Yup, our good friend Hound was here-

Hole schizzle. HOUND!

"Hound!" Optimus called out, and I tried to as well, but my mouth and my head were basically separated at the moment.

"HE'S ALIVE!" Hound bellowed, and I felt relief wash over me. We were going to be saved!!!! "Optimus, sound off!"

"In here, quick! Use caution Gabby is badly injured!" Optimus called out.

"Hold up, we're coming for ya!"

"The arms of this net ship detatch, we can break free! It's a seperate ship, hurry!" As Optimus explained, the Autobots tore the doors off.

"Where's the cockpit, right or left?!"

"Right!"

"I'm on it boss." Hound took off and Drift walked up.

"Gabby-"

"I have her." Drift scooped me up and placed me beside his foot, freeing Optimus.

"We have no time!" Optimus told him.

"Sensei..." Drift said, scooping me up and placing me into Optimus' hand. "Her vital signs are weak. She will not be alive much longer if we do not get her warm."

"Drift, turn away." He ordered, and the mech complied.

Optimus opened his chestplates and I could see the glow of his spark as he slid me inside. The warmth from it began to thaw my stiff, cold form. It also brought the pain back from my broken leg. "ow, ow, ow!" I gasped, grabbing onto a cable to steady myself as he raced with the others to the ship.
