Butch, a large AltraTrans, landed on the power supply.
Grady, a small black and gray AltraTrans, landed in a tangle of power supply wires.
"Man, I can feel the power still coming from this power supply," Butch said. "I hope it's unplugged! My circuits have temporarily magnetized me, and I'm stuck here! Raider, you'd better spin over here and start this thing up!"

              Spaze, an orange and black AltraTrans, got twisted in the mouse cord caught on some shelving. Instead of slowing down, all the air currents from the crash was causing Spaze to spin out of control.
Finally, Butch had enough and yelled at him. "Spaze! Right yourself now, and stop spinning! You're making me sick. Trust me! You don't want me sick while stuck to this power supply. I could spew electric parts all over you!"

        Meanwhile, Grady was pleading for someone to untangle him from the power supply wires before he shorted out. “Come on guys, help me out! I don’t think I could go through being shorted out again, playing Country Western Music every time I moved my head. Do you know how stiff my neck got last time just so I did not have to hear that sound?”

       Spaze’s reply was that he was having fun spinning on the cord. He had not had so much fun in a library for a long time!
From here, he could see some of the new Teen books he might want to read. “I can see the Graphic Novel Section when I spin this way and the CD section when I spin that way and then I can see a blur of new books when I make a complete circle!”

      "Oh yea this is fun. Oh wow, man, look over there--it is the Mother board of the computer. Hey Butch, do you think we could wake up Legman so he could transform that into a deportation station so we could get out of here?"

     Legman was a large AltraTrans made from small electronic blocks so he could take anything that had an electric circuit and recreate it into whatever he wanted. One time he threatened to turn Spaze into a goat. The next week Spaze was on all fours bleating like crazy so no one messed with him.

      Butch told Patty (who looked like an Earth police car and who could outrun almost any thing on four wheels) to take Bull Dog (who could pass for semi tractor trailer) to wake Legman up.
Both of them answered at the same time, "Are you crazy man? That is a suicide mission, and I did not sign up for a suicide mission."
"Calm down," Butch said. "Bull Dog, you drive by him fast and lay on that air horn of yours. Patty, you are faster, so put on your lights and sirens, and between the two of you Legman should come to."

        Nothing that Bull Dog and Patty did could bring Legman awake. Now, Butch was getting worried Legman's circuits had gotten damaged in the transport over the wireless network. "Okay guys, we are going to have to reverse the magnetic field that is causing Legman to shut down. Dessie come over here and help me with these speakers. They look old, but they make be able to put out enough bass to cause the right set of vibrations."
Dessie was a good looking red AltraTrans that had her own satellite dish and attitude. "That's right," Dessie said, "call in a female when you really need a job done right. I got this one." She untangled Grady who would not stop whining about the cords making him see things.

     
Then she boosted the speakers by positioning herself in front of them to bust the bass sound wave affect. She set her favorite opera play list on high level and waited for the big guy, Legman, to wake up.
"Okay boys, stand back and let me do my thing," Dessie said.
The first wave of music caused Spaze to land. "Hey man watch what you are doing."
Patty said, "You almost landed on me."
Bull Dog said, "Wait! Can't we take a picture of Legman being rescued by a girl first, and then we could post it on the Internet, and sell copies. We could make a fortune."

      With one swift motion, Legman reached out, and blasted Bull Dog and Spaze with a low level taser. The taser also shut the music down. "For the love of electronics, shut that screeching off or I will neutralize all of you until you rust," Legman belted out.
Then he turned and saw the Mother board. "Why didn't you guys say we landed next to the Twin Towers in Cyber City?
"Excuse me, Legman," Butch said, "but we are not in Cyber City. We landed in the Mitchell Public Library on Earth. Man, you must have taken a harder hit than I thought."       

Butch activated his jet pack and landed over on the table holding the Mother Board. "I think we can use these memory sticks to build a ramp so we do not mess with any of the circuits trying to all fit on here."
The rest of the AltraTrans were back on the cushion they landed on arguing about if they were all going to fit. Now that they had all recovered from the crash, they were back to fighting among the different sections.

      Since Legman was so large, he would not fit on the table with the Mother Board and still have room to work on it.
Spaze said,” Man, we are not all going to fit, so why don’t we leave some of our baggage behind?
Dessie explained in her nastiest tone that she was not baggage and if he did not stop insulting her people she would short out his sound board so that every time he talked he would sing Musical Tunes.

      Butch had the ramps built, and the towers pushed apart. Then he said to Legman, "Please, do your magic, and fix this so I can get away from all of this. Man, I do not get paid enough to baby sit a bunch of want-to-bees.
"Okay, Legman said. I think I can send an electronic impulse that will reset and flash the Mother Board so it will work along with my transport system to get us out."

      "Patty, can you and Dessie jet port over since you are smaller and help me?"
"Who are you, calling me?" Patty asked, because it had better not be me."
Dessie said impatiently; "Let's just move before we can not get back. I am so ready to be home. Okay, Legman, what are we supposed to do?"
Legman walked them through reimpulsing the circuits.

     
Butch went back for Grady since his jet pack was damaged from being wrapped in the wires too long.
Legman suggested Grady stand on the power strip so he could send an electrical current through it to recharge and recruit Grady's wiring.
"Thanks, man," Grady told him. "I really needed that. I was afraid I would be stuck in the library as a display for the Transformer Graphic Novel Series that the library has.

Next Butch helped Spaze since he was still a little dizzy from being caught on the wires. Spaze asked Dessie if maybe he could jet over to the Teen CD section and get an audio book. She was busy and did not answer him. While everyone was focusing on Grady he slipped over and picked up entire Harry Potter Series on CD. Then he asked Dessie, Yo, Dessie can you play this on the trip so I can focus on the story instead of the transporting since I am still a little sick from spinning? Dessie answered, Fin let's just go, but how are you getting it back to the library. Cause this sister does not steal from the library. No worries, says Spaze I know the teen librarian and she will get it back for us.

Legman had Dessie shoot off her satellite disk. Dessie fired and it hit Grady. Dessie explained, My bad Grady I thought that I had reduced the throttle so it would not fly far. Gray answered, Right Dessie I believe you. Girl I was born at night but not last night. You just wait until I can stand and we will see how good your aim is.

While Butch was going back for some of the others Patty helped Legman adjust the transporter. Since Dessie had also knocked over one of the towers Legman had her put it back up and stay in between them to keep them apart.

Next Butch sent Bull Dog over to the Mother Board. Hey guys wait for me Bull Dog said. You know you, fools can not find any place without me and you never stop and ask for directions. Cause with my GPS I can find any planet.

Grady replied well if you can find anything why did we end up here. Watch what you are saying boy cause I do not play that way. You, fools were the ones pushing in the control room and caused the crashed. It was my GPS that found the wireless network that was shorting out and got us here instead of in an ocean.

Next Bull Dog went on the platform and was recharged by Legman. Now there was one bigger problem they faced and that was getting Legman over to the table. To create enough power to get him over Patty suggested they use the static electricity from the electronic circuits and the carpet to make a fast high energy spark to get Legman over.

Yes, man we did it. See what we can do if we just work together as a team said Patty. Dessie went over to the New Book Display and found a large book holder to hold up Legman until they were closer to take off so he would not have to use up his power standing up right.

Hey, Butch does that power supply you landed on have any power left in it? Legman asked. Because if it does attach yourself to it with that USB port cable and power up so I can get enough power to take us all at once.

Right Butch said, "We leave no AltraTrans behind." No matter how much I would enjoy leaving Spaze. My headaches would almost stop. Now go over to the CD player and hard drive and download the selection of material the library has and access the databases so the others can do something on the trip besides argue.

Dessie you are going to have to come over and download some of the information I think that my memory storage is almost full, said Butch. Thanks Butch these books on CD and Tapes are great. Have you seen the nonfiction teen section yet? They have books on Blogging. I could use that, Dessie replied.

Look Spaze they even have books about setting up your own web site and some information on the famous people from earth that started the great internet sites like Napstar, EBay, and Amazon, Dessie said.

As soon as Butch went over to the hard drive to download the information, that were a giant sucking and popping noise as Ty came loose from the being stuck to the CD drive. Man I thought I was a goner for sure. I could see you all and hear you but I could not transmit anything so you could help me, said Ty.

Ty was a small AltraTrans that would always transform into a small yellow ball so usually everyone forgot about him. Alright Ty I will transform into a car and let you sit inside but you are not sitting in the driver seat. You are not to mess with any of the radio settings like you did last time. I still have nightmares about the time that all I could get was talk show stations, said Butch.

Spaze what are you dragging along behind you? Asked Legman. I wanted the pictures that they had from when the Rodeo Performers came to the library. You should see those rope tricks those girls can do. Spaze said. If it will make things go faster I will come back over and get the rest of the pictures and information so we can get going, said Legman.

As Legman was getting the information Butch was getting ready to take Ty over before he wrecked the inside of his car. Ty if you are in there eating and getting oil all over my upholstery you are in big trouble. Make sure you are seat belted in because here we go said Butch. We just have to all get onto the Mother Board and create enough of an electronic charge and as soon as the wireless starts to work again we are out of here, said Legman.

As soon as the group was all on the Mother Board there was a blast of light, and they were gone heading back towards Cyber City. Butch said after they landed that they may not need to attend the Peace conference since they had learned to get along to accomplish making something out of what most would call nothing and got back safe. We had our own Cyber City at the library.

Man, I will miss this place. It has so much information and so many places that you can go to without transporting anywhere, said Dessie. Patty said, Do I have time to look at the Quick Read Display I want to look at that Captain Jack series. I just loved Pirates of the Caribbean, and Johnny is my hero. Fine Butch said but scan them quick we are almost ready.

The End for Now!
