Transformers: Prime – His daughter, His best friend
Chapter 1
(M.E.C.H headquarters)
Silas slammed his fist down on his desk, his nostrils flaring as anger seeped all through his body. He felt his blood rushing in his veins, just like hot lava in a volcano.
"I do not like the fact that titan still eludes me, nor do I like the fact that my apprentice decided to die without handing over his creation." Silas snarled, as the veins in his neck bulged out.
"Sir, regarding the living technology titan, we will get him I promise you." one of the men replied.
"I do not doubt my men or our technology Jefferies, what I do not like is waiting. I want to learn what makes this titan tick, besides he made me look like a fool and no one does that."
"What about Grandfather's creation?"
"Yes that, all that I know was it was a techno organic that he created, damn fool died before giving it me." Silas grumbled. "Okay, we watch all over for anything that could be this creation, and we continue to monitor for the titan. Gentlemen no mistakes or let downs, if I am disappointed that means all of you will be very unhappy." Silas said with a snarl. "Now, get to work." he ordered.
(Somewhere in New Jersey)
Optimus was sent via the ground bridge to New Jersey, he wanted to be alone and enjoy the scenery. However this particular day was not a sunny day, it was a snowy and icy day. The snow was like a blanket over the grass and the ice glistened and sparkled like the shiniest of diamonds. However, Optimus hated the snow; because of the time he and Arcee were trapped in the Arctic and almost perished. He was just about to contact Ratchet to resend the ground bridge; when out of nowhere Starscream attacked him.
There were no humans luckily, because Starscream sent several missiles at Optimus. He was able to dodge most of them, until Starscream got a lucky shot in. The missile hit Optimus, causing him to skid out of control hitting a massive tree. He transformed just as Starscream fired once more, a direct hit to Optimus stomach. Optimus' hand went to his stomach, as his precious life's blood poured out of the wound. Optimus' optics dimmed, Megatron was always trying to kill him, but at least Megatron was willing to give warriors an honorable death. Starscream fought dirty with all warriors, even his own leader he was treacherous with.
Starscream transformed in midair; and landed a few feet away from Optimus.
"My how the mighty have fallen isn't that right Optimus Prime?" Starscream asked in a haughty tone.
Optimus spat energon out of his mouth, and then glanced at Starscream.
"You can never do anything honorably, can you Starscream?" Optimus asked.
"Why should I do anything honorably; when I can do it the sneaky way and achieve the best results?" Starscream demanded as his arm transformed into a nasty blade. "I never would have figured I would have both a large energon source in this state, and also bag Optimus Prime all in one mission." Starscream said, as he stalked up his blade scraping Optimus' windshield. "Time to get scraped Optimus Prime." Starscream snapped.
"HEY! Get away from him, doo fess!" a young female voice yelled.
Starscream turned to see who dared to interrupt him from killing Optimus.
"WHO ARE YOU?" Starscream demanded, until his optics landed on a human girl.
Starscream cackled then, Optimus' optics dimmed not wanting the girl to get killed.
"RUN AWAY FROM HERE…!" Optimus ordered.
"Oh this is slagging rich a flesh creature is going to stop me, is it?" Starscream demanded with laughter, as Optimus tried to struggle to get to his pedes.
Starscream spun around, and slammed his fist into Prime's face.
"Stay down Prime!" Starscream ordered, as he turned back to the girl.
Optimus collapsed once more, and the girl narrowed her eyes at Starscream.
"That was not cool, that was mean and sneaky!" she yelled.
"Get over yourself fleshling; I am all about sneaky." Starscream replied.
The girl glanced over at Optimus; and saw he was in really ghastly shape. She narrowed her eyes at the stupid jet, she didn't like bullies.
"You hurt that nice robot, I am going to kick your booty now." she stated as Starscream roared in hysterics.
"I would like to see you try it human; what are you going to do throw stones at me?" Starscream asked sarcastically.
She shrugged, and then her arm transformed into a blaster.
"I thought I would blast you, which sounds really perfect." she said as Starscream frowned.
She started shooting at him, and he yelped and transformed and took off.
"This isn't over human….." he wailed.
"Yeah whatever…." she said running over to Optimus, who was fighting stasis.
She touched Optimus' face tenderly, he was ice cold and she saw his energon blood spreading all over the snow.
"D….Do not be afraid…. little one." Optimus said weakly. "I…..I won't hurt you."
"I'm not…..My name is Sari; what's yours?" she asked.
"O…..Optimus….I need R…..Ratchet's help…Must ground bridge home or p….perish." he whispered, as he tried his commlink.
::::: Optimus to base, come in Ratchet:::::::
::::: Optimus you do not sound good, do you need assistance:::::::
:::::: Injured severely need help…hurry::::::::
Optimus looked at the young girl; she had long flowing blonde hair and blue eyes. She had the sweetest yet impish smile, he had ever seen; but her eyes held a part of sadness to them.
"W…..where are your parents?" he asked.
"I don't have a family; I live on the streets out of a duffle bag. I did have a creator; but he expired; and there wasn't anyone else for me to go." she explained.
She watched the Autobot leader carefully.
"Who created you?" she asked tilting her head.
"I…I and my team are Autobots from the planet Cybertron, we are here protecting your planet from….." Optimus paused, when he felt pain shooting all through his circuits. "The other robot you were shooting at, he is a Decepticon and evil. We protect Earth from Decepticons…Sari, would you like to come stay with me and my Autobots. You should not be a lone in this would, it isn't right." Optimus whispered his optics dimming slightly.
"Really…?" Sari asked.
"Y…yes I will be your guardian….." Optimus replied, as the ground bridge suddenly opened up.
A red and white bot came out, along with a gigantic green bot; and a yellow bot.
"Optimus…!" exclaimed the red and white bot rushing over.
"T….This is Sari, she saved m…..me…She will be s…..staying with us…." Optimus said weakly, as he fell into stasis.
"Help me carry him back to base…" Ratchet ordered looking at Bulkhead and Bumblebee.
"Will he be okay?" Sari asked.
"Yes, he will be fine….. Thank you for coming to his aide." Ratchet replied in his usual gruff manner.
Sari watched as they picked up Optimus, Ratchet looked back at Sari then.
"Come along then, are you coming?" Ratchet demanded.
Sari smiled.
"Yes, of course." she said grabbing her duffle bag.
Sari followed the bots into the ground bridge; she turned and looked back where she had come from.
"Goodbye old life and hello new life." she replied running to catch up as the ground bridge closed.
(Autobot Base)
Sari sat by Optimus' side and never left it; she put her tiny hand into his.
"Please get better..." she whispered as Arcee, Bumblebee and Bulkhead gathered around Optimus' berth.
"So, little one what's your name?" Arcee asked.
"Sari, what's your name?" Sari asked the pretty femme bot.
"I am Arcee and this is Bulkhead, Bumblebee and the big red and white cranky bot is Ratchet." she answered with a smirk.
"Oh cool, you're very pretty." Sari replied.
"Thanks Sari..." Arcee replied with a grin.
"Would you like something to drink?" Arcee asked, giving the girl a can of soda.
"Yes please, I am thirsty." she replied, as she popped the tab and downed the soda.
She suddenly burped really loud.
"Sorry, my bad..." Sari replied, as Optimus onlined his optics locking them on the girl.
Sari glanced up seeing those wide bright blue optics of his, and her smile broadened with no trouble at all.
"You're alive..." she squealed, as she climbed up to his face.
"S...Sari thank you so much..." Optimus replied, as she hugged him, which caused the giant leader to purr.
"I wasn't going to let Mr. Grouchy kill you, no way not on my watch." she replied.
Ratchet glanced at the clock on the wall.
"Don't you three have to go pick up your charges?" Ratchet asked.
"Oh we are so late..."Bulkhead mumbled as he, Arcee and Bumblebee left.
Sari glanced back down at her bot, she considered Optimus her bot. Optimus gently put his hand over her protectively.
"How were you able to keep Starscream from scraping Optimus?" Ratchet finally asked.
Sari smirked, and then transformed her arm when Optimus moved his hand.
"I'm a techno organic, and I have a lot of cool weapons built into me. My creator died, and I was left on the streets so to speak." she explained, as an alarm went off. "What's that noise?" she asked.
"Agent Fowler, he helps us out and we return the favor at times." Ratchet explained.
The elevator opened and in walked Agent Fowler, he had a smile on his face.
"You saved my butt before Prime; the D.N.G.S is safe where it belongs." Agent Fowler said as he saw Sari by Optimus. "What happened to you Prime?" Agent Fowler asked.
"Starscream attacked me, and I was rather fortunate this young lady saved my aft." Optimus said winking at Sari who smiled.
Agent Fowler went to Sari; he had a smile on his face.
"What's your name, honey?" Agent Fowler asked.
"Sari...Nice to meet you Agent Fowler." she replied.
"Where do you live?" Agent Fowler asked.
"Here with my guardian Optimus Prime and the Autobots; I am a techno organic my creator who built me died. I didn't have a home, until I met Optimus anyway." she explained.
Agent Fowler smiled once more then turned toward Optimus once more.
"I am concerned about Silas and M.E.C.H still though, Prime; they know you guys exist and saw you especially in action." Agent Fowler replied as Sari gasped.
Optimus sat up putting his servo around Sari, because she looked very upset.
"What's wrong, Sari?" Optimus asked concerned for her.
"Silas and M.E.C.H my creator spoke to Silas all the time and he was a scary. He would argue with my creator all the time saying he owed him something he was working on." Sari answered.
"You're safe now, sweetheart." Agent Fowler said.
"I know I have Optimus and the Autobots..." she whispered.
"I will help you too..." the agent said.
"Thank you Agent Fowler..." Sari said.
"You're welcome, Sari."
Sari tried to relax but found herself nervous, and deeply afraid of Silas for some reason.
(Mech's headquarters)
"Sir, there has been sightings of possible titans in Jasper Nevada; we also know at least two children are friends with these titans." the man said, as Silas rubbed his chin.
"We need to find a way to capture the lead titan; I want him alive I want to get our best scientists on this. We will take him apart piece by piece; until I learn everything about him. I want to learn his threshold for pain; I want to learn all his weapons, his strength capabilities." Silas replied.
"What if the titan dies sir?" the other man replied.
"What do I care if it dies after, it's just a machine; but I don't want it to die right away we will want to study it for a while." Silas mumbled then. "We have to find a way to draw him out, but how?" Silas asked. "How...?" he repeated his eyes turning rather sinister.
Sari sat on the sofa playing video games with Miko, Jack and Raf; Optimus was watching her his spark racing with what was going through his cerebral processors. He glanced at Ratchet, Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Arcee; and then lowered his gaze.
"Optimus what's wrong?" Ratchet asked.
"I would like to adopt Sari as my own youngling; Elita and I never had a sparkling of our own. I want her as my daughter, she needs a father." Optimus replied.
"Maybe Agent Fowler can help?" Bulkhead offered as Bumblebee whistled and clicked in agreement.
"Sari, would you come here please?" Optimus asked.
She smiled, and flipped down off the high level platform they were all playing at. Miko leaned down her eyes practically bugging out of her head at the move.
"COOL..." Miko replied.
"Ahhh Miko, don't..." Bulkhead replied.
"Miko, don't copy what I do I'm not human...Remember?" Sari replied with a grin as Miko nodded and groaned in exasperation.
"No fair..." Miko growled.
Sari saw Optimus lower his hand for her, and she hopped right onto it without batting an eye.
"Sari, can I ask you something?" Optimus asked.
"Sure, anything you like..." she replied.
Silence...
"I would like to adopt you first in this planet's way, and then in the old Cybertronian ritual way." Optimus explained, as he saw the look in her eyes the tears forming. "You are crying... Is it a bad idea, are you not happy with having me as a parental unit?" he asked suddenly feeling hurt at the knowledge she might not want him as a father.
"You silly alien robot, of course I am thrilled." Sari said leaning into his face hugging him.
Optimus moved his finger against her making her smile.
"I am very happy to know this, Sari." Optimus replied as she patted his face.
"I get to have a real daddy!" she cried as she gave him the best hug she could. "You don't mind if I call you daddy, right?" she asked as he held her.
"Of course not little one, of course not..." Optimus replied.
"Good, I can go on mission's right?" Sari asked giving Optimus big sad eyes.
"You stay with me and do as I say, then yes you can but you must obey my orders." Optimus replied.
Arcee chuckled.
"Get used to the fierce protectiveness Sari, because your daddy is majorly protective." Arcee replied.
Sari rubbed her daddy's face, while tears fell down her face.
"I don't care, I will have a real family." she replied. "And nothing or no one can take that away."
(On the Nemesis)
Starscream paced wildly in front of Soundwave, and where their leader lay in stasis. Starscream's optics flashed angrily, while he paced back and forth.
"A human infant with some sort of little blaster made me... Starscream Lord of destruction look like a fool. Well what comes around goes around, I will find her and I will tear her apart for no one makes me look like a fool...NO ONE." Starscream snarled as one of the Vehicons walked up. "Yes what is it?" Starscream demanded.
"A human vehicle was grabbed, and we have the two humans in custody."
"Oh very well, bring them in." Starscream snapped, as two men were thrown on the floor of the ship.
The two men are dressed exactly like Silas' men from M.E.C.H; Starscream watches the men with an interested look.
"What were you doing snooping around my ship, humans?" Starscream demanded.
"We were looking for someone; we thought we might be able to find him here." the one guy answered.
"Really and who is this someone you're looking for?" Starscream asked.
The one guy pushed a button on his device, and a digital rendering Optimus Prime came up. Starscream smirked at the picture.
"Perhaps we can help each other, why do you want Optimus Prime?" Starscream asked.
The men laughed.
"Our boss wants to capture him, and study him to learn what makes him tick." the one man said, as he glanced over at Megatron's form in stasis.
The man unbeknown to Starscream was taking photos of Megatron in stasis, figuring Silas would definitely be pleased with this extra tid- bit of information.
"I see..." Starscream replied, as Soundwave gripped a piece of metal crumpling it up in anger, not liking nor trusting these humans or Starscream.
"Do you know where we can find him to catch him?" the one guy asked.
"No, I unfortunately do not know where their base is; but there may be a way to flush him out." Starscream remarked.
"We're listening..." the two men said.
"He has just recently been injured, and a human infant came to his aid. She was strong for a regular human, knowing him as I do. He will probably keep her by his side and go all noble." Starscream said with a wave of his claw.
"What did this human look like?" the one guy asked.
"Oh I don't know, they all look alike to me." he griped.
"Think machine, its important!" the one guy dared to say to Starscream.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME, FLESH CREATURE?" Starscream demanded. "My name is Starscream Lord of Destruction, and you would do well to remember my designation flesh creature." Starscream snarled. "Now out of my sight, get rid of them take them back to where ever it was you found them." Starscream ordered not seeing the way they looked at Megatron's body in stasis.
However this time, Soundwave saw them looking; and didn't like it one bit.
(Twenty minutes later)
The one man was on his cell phone calling Silas with the information; they had just learned.
"So, the titan's name is Optimus Prime and there is one that is much more vulnerable. Fine, we will have to take them both then and what about the Techno organic you mentioned some information about that as well?" Silas asked listening to the conversation and smiling. "So, this Optimus Prime has taken a shine to the creation, and then we can use this to snare them both. We can also grab this other titan you mentioned, my luck has finally changed for the better now." Silas remarked.
"I want to make arrangements to take this Starscream as well; he will be a perfect subject as well. This will be a test of my skills to bag Optimus Prime, Starscream, the creation and this other one, and then I will win with the grandest technology of all stolen of course, but whoever said I play fair." Silas said with a laugh so filled with a sinister air to it.
