Rating - M for death scene
~~~~~~~~~~~
LASER
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: WARRIOR
"I'm not as bas as you think - I'm
worse."
"I can do everything myself."
Profile: Thinks she can do everything herself. Anyone who
tries to offer her assistance, is likely to get blasted. Laser hates anyone
insulting her. She may be small, but she's not weak. She won't hesitate to try
to destroy anyone who insults her. She loves watching violent
movies and loves fighting - surprise attacks, her speciality. She loves
fighting so much that she wonders what she's going to do if all the Autobots
get destroyed. Incidentally, she would prefer to fight the Autobots forever
rather than accomplish `conquest of the universe.' Laser loves a challenge. She
is very good at spy missions, due to her size. There's no challenge too much
for her to try. Gets angry when she is unable to do something. And she won't
accept help from others. She's an excellent escape artist. Has been known to
escape from Autobot maximum security prison cells without setting off a single
alarm. She has a very short temper. She despises Sputnik, but that's only
because she's so much like her.
Abilities: Laser may be small, but she's quite powerful. In
F-15 jet mode, her maximum speed is Mach 10, range 8000 miles. In jet mode,
Laser has two laser cannons. She emits a powerful back blast from her tail
engines. In robot mode, her arms can transform into dual laser blaster cannons.
Also has optical lasers in robot mode.
Weaknesses: Laser, due to her small size, isn't much good with
hand to hand combat. Her physical strength is limited. She's practically
defenceless when her weapons glitch. Sometimes her daring can get her into
situations which she can't handle alone and her refusal to accept help can lead
to embarrassing and sometimes dangerous situations. Laser feels she has to
defend herself against her weaknesses. "It's not my fault I'm smaller than
you..." and so forth.

"You? Beat me, Laser?" laughed Starscream.
"You couldn't lift a featheroid!"
Laser transformed her arms into plasma
energy blasters and blasted Starscream twice in his stomach. The larger
Decepticon fell to the floor, unconscious. Laser looked down at him with a
satisfied smirk on her face. "Say what?"
Megatron came into the main control room and
saw Starscream lying on the floor.
Laser looked up at Megatron and smiled.
"Let's just say we had a little disagreement ..."
Megatron smiled. "I like you."

The following day, a battle raged between
the Autobots and Decepticons. Laser loved fighting. It created a sense of worth
in her, and not to mention gave her kicks. She transformed into her F-15 jet
fighter mode and blasted at the Autobots, then transformed into her robot mode
and fired at them, using her arms as blasters. She was fast and her small size
and agility in battle made her hard to get. She liked to fight with the female
Autobots, but she wouldn't destroy them. She thought the more women in the war
the better!
Laser knew she was nowhere near as strong as
Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader, but she loved trying to fight him,
although he was a sight better fighter than her. Laser found fighting him a
real challenge and felt satisfied every time she got the better of him more
than she did the last time. She treated it like a computer game. The Autobots
tired but found it impossible to capture her.
The battle was a no win - no lose situation.
"You were excellent in battle,
Laser," congratulated Megatron, back at Decepticon headquarters.
Laser felt wonderful to be thought of highly
by her leader. "Thank you, Megatron. It comes naturally."
In the next battle, the Autobots with a lot
of difficulty, managed to corner Laser. She was quite small, but also quite
tough and powerful for her size and was quite viciously aggressive and fast.
The Autobots managed to win the battle.
Optimus Prime didn't want to hurt her. He adjusted his laser rifle to stun and
blasted her, then picked her up and carried her into Autobot headquarters. He
tied her wrists together with an energon band and put her in a prison cell.
Laser, a few minutes later, regained
consciousness. "Let me go, you Autocreep!"
She tried to transform her arms into her
plasma energy blasters, but couldn't and could not transform into her F-15 mode
either. "What do you want with me?" she snarled angrily.
"Calm down" said Optimus Prime.
"Don't be afraid. Nobody's going to hurt you."
"Who said I was afraid, Prime? Let me
out of here - now!"
Optimus prime left the cell.
"Monitor," he said. "I want
you to interrogate her. Make sure she answers all your questions
truthfully."
"Affirmative, Prime."
He entered into the cell.
"What do you want, Diskhead?" demanded
Laser.
"Insults not necessary," Monitor
said, his voice cold and he began to interrogate her.
"Why should I answer any of your
questions?" she asked angrily.
"I am merely interrogating you. Why
won't you co-operate?"
"Why should I co-operate with you?"
Laser was making Monitor lose his patience.
"Because," he replied angrily,
"I am holding a gun, the business end which has a projectile trajectory
which will project a harmful charge into your chassis."
"You could've just said you were gonna
shoot me."
She knew she had no choice. She answered all
Monitors questions.
"There. I've answered all your stupid
questions. Are you going to let me go now, Autobot?"
"My name is Monitor."
"That's not what I wanted to
know. Are you going to let me go?"
"I'll have to discuss that data with
Optimus Prime."
"Well discuss it and be quick about it,
V.D.U."
"I told you my name is Monitor."
"Monitor, V.D.U ... same thing isn't
it?"
The Autobot grunted angrily and left the
cell and found Optimus Prime.
"She answered all the questions -
reluctantly" he said.
"Thank you, Monitor."
"A pleasure, Prime."
Optimus Prime smiled, then freed Laser's
arms.
"What are you doing?" she asked,
harsh.
"Letting you go. I don't need to keep
you here anymore. We Autobots only keep prisoners if we need to."
Laser quickly transformed her arms into her
plasma energy blasters and blasted Optimus Prime twice in his chest and
stomach. Optimus fell backwards, then quickly stood up and grabbed Laser's
arms. Laser violently tried to struggle free.
"That's gratitude for you. Jeez, you're
an aggressive thing. Calm down."
"I don't wanna calm down!" Laser
spat.
She tried to struggle free again. Optimus
tightened his grip a little on her arms.
"All right, Prime. You win..." she
snarled angrily.
"I'm not trying to 'win'
anything."
He took her outside and then released her.
Laser transformed into her jet fighter mode and took off then she used her
powerful back blasting tail engines to blast Optimus Prime in his stomach
before she left. Optimus fell backwards.
"Optimus Prime!" exclaimed
Silverbolt. "Are you all right?!"
"Affirmative " replied Optimus,
slowly standing up. "I'm okay. It still hurts a little though."
"What a bitch!"
"Cliffjumper, don't swear."
"Sorry, Prime."
Optimus Prime put his arm over his stomach.
"Quite tough for her size" he
said. "I guess I underestimated her a little ..."

The next day Laser was walking in the
street. She walked for a while.
"There's a sissy female Decepticon
Transformer ..." mocked a guy.
Laser turned around with her hands on her
hips.
"Oooohhh ... she's a Decepticon ... I'm
so scared ... Mommy!" he said sarcastically. "Hey, you girl ... bet
you don't have any guts ..."
"I'd like to see your guts
" snarled Laser, transforming her arm into her plasma energy blaster,
blasting at the guy. He jumped out of the way. He then ran away from her. She
knew she could easily catch him by transforming into her jet mode, but that was
too easy. She ran after him. The guy ran into a small forest, off the side of the
road. Laser chased after him. A while into the forest, the guy tripped and fell
into a small ditch. He hurt his leg and couldn't get up. Laser caught up to
him. She pointed her arm blaster at him.
"Hey ... wait ... little lady ... no
offence ... I didn't mean to ... I ... I-"
"Any last requests?" cut in Laser.
The guy was terrified. "Yeah ... one
... please don't kill me..."
Laser looked down at the helpless Human.
"Beee! Wrong answer! Request denied!
--"
Laser's plasma blasts were the last things
he saw and heard before ...
Laser looked down at his mutilated body.
"Well whaddya know - he did have some guts
after all."
Laser laughed, then flew home to Decepticon
headquarters.

Megatron gave Laser a spying mission to spy
on the Autobots. She managed to sneak inside Autobot headquarters with no
difficulty at all. She was a good spy and learned of an ancient Autobot secret.
She was leaving to inform Megatron. All of a sudden, the Autobot security alarm
sounded. Optimus Prime saw Laser leaving.
"She must've learned of our the secret
... We have to get her. That secret must not fall into Decepticon hands
..."
Optimus Prime strapped on his jet pack and
flew after her.
Laser was flying through a violent storm in
her robot mode. A sudden bolt of lightning hit her in the side of her head at
pointblank range. She fell out of the sky and crashed onto the ground. Her head
was bleeding heavily.
Optimus was flying after her. His scanners
detected her dead ahead. Optimus then saw her, lying on the side of the road
and flew down to her.
"She's badly wounded ... She may even
be dead. I can't leave her like this ... I hope I can help her ..."
He gently picked her up and flew as fast as
he could to Autobot headquarters.
"What happened, Prime?" asked
Cliffjumper.
"She was blasted by lightning. She's
been badly damaged. I don't know if I can repair her."
"Why help a Decepticon?"
"I can't stand back and watch her die,
even if she is our enemy."
Cliffjumper respected Optimus Prime's
decision. The Autobot leader carried Laser into the repair bay and lay her
gently on the bed and began to repair her. It was an extremely difficult and
delicate operation. Her head was small and her brain was badly damaged.
After many hours, of difficult, gentle work,
Optimus had Laser's brain operational. He had the ancient Autobot secret from
her memory. He waited patiently for Laser to regain consciousness. She finally
came to and sat up on the bed with a start.
"What am I doing here?!"
"I've just spent sixteen hours
repairing you" replied Optimus Prime.
"Repairing me? Why?"
"Your brain was badly damaged by a
lightning bolt. You were dying."
"You ... you saved my life?"
Optimus nodded.
"But why?"
"You needed my help. I was your only
hope."
"But why did you repair me,
Prime? I'm your enemy."
"I know, but I couldn't sit back and
watch anyone die, even if they are my enemy."
Laser was astounded. "Thank you
..."
Optimus smiled. "I've never seen you
this calm in your life before."
Laser smiled back at him. Optimus handed her
an energon cube.
"What's this for?" she asked.
"You haven't had anything to eat for
hours. You must be starving."
Laser began to drink the cube.
"Slowly, Laser. It's not going to grow
wings and fly away."
Laser smiled, and slowed down until she had
finished the cube. She then looked at Optimus Prime.
"Come to think of it" she said,
"you are kinda cute, Prime."
"Thank you, Laser, " he said, a
little embarrassed.
He then let her go.
"Thanks again, Prime" she said.
"I guess I owe you one."
Optimus Prime smiled as she flew off without
blasting him this time.
Laser arrived at Decepticon headquarters.
"Laser!" exclaimed Megatron.
"Where have you been?!"
"I was blasted by a bolt of lightning,
Megatron," she replied, "but Optimus Prime repaired me."
"Prime?"
"Yeah. He said he couldn't let anyone
die."
"How typical ... Did you find out any
information?"
"Yeah, I did, but the lightning blast
musta wiped it from memory."
Megatron was angry, but chose not to punish
her - namely - it wasn't her fault. Laser apologised to him and walked into her
quarters.
She was grateful to Optimus Prime for saving
her life and respected him for that and wondered how and if she would repay
him.
She then went into the energon storage room.
There was one cube in there. Laser was about to take it.
"Not so fast" said Thrust. "I
want that cube."
Laser did not want to give it to him.
"Give it to me before I blast you"
Thrust threatened.
"Piss off, Thrust! I want it!"
Thrust blasted at her. Laser jumped out of
the way and on top of him. She punched him in his face. Thrust tried to throw
her off him. Laser wouldn't let him and transformed her arms into her plasma
energy cannons.
"You wouldn't blast me ... " said
Thrust confidently. "You're a girl. Girls are too genteel ..."
"Where on Cybertron did ya hear that
crap?"
She blasted him in his face and chest,
causing a pain and unconsciousness. She then was about to take the energon
cube. Brawl, another Decepticon, tried to take it from her, then looked down.
"What happened to Thrust?!" he
exclaimed.
"Oh, nothing. He just tried to take my
energon cube" replied Laser airily.
"It's your cube, Little Lady ... your
cube " the Combaticon left.
Laser smiled and drank the cube, then went
to Soundwave.
"We're outta energon again."
Soundwave was sitting in the computer room,
working on a program and he nodded, wearily.
"Hey," Laser smiled, "get
some rest - you look like you need it." Soundwave was among the few
Decepticons she respected, apart from Megatron, Ravage, Thundercracker, and
Rumble and Frenzy - because they were small and tough - like her!
Soundwave smiled at Laser - one of his few
genuine smiles. "I'd like to, but Megatron wants this-"
"He's your friend. He's not going to
jump on you if you don't get it done tonight."
Soundwave nodded. "You are right,"
and he closed up shop. "Thank you - I'll take your suggestion and get some
R & R."
Laser smiled and left the room. She walked
into her quarters, lay on her resting ledge, thinking about Optimus Prime, the
Decepticons she respected and glad she'd finally managed to gain some respect
amongst the other Decepticons. Perhaps one day Starscream would look at her
twice ... She could only hope.
