Hey! Sup? Yeah I know I haven't updated my other fanfictions in…a long time lets say, I'm stuck lol. And I needed to get this out of my system, so here it is!
I'm not sure how often I'll update(hopefully not too long) so I won't promise anything! I can however promise you that I have most of the plot thought out.
As for disclaimers: this is a FANFICTION site, do you I need to say anything else?!
Oh and if your new to this stuff you might want to check out the transformers dictionary by shoshana715 : .net/s/4774563/1/A_Transformers_Fanfic_Dictionary
Hopefully it'll help you.
As for grammar or spelling mistakes, please forgive me, English is not my native language and I have barely any time to recheck on my grammar. Just warn me if you see anything and I'll fix it! :D
Optimus Prime
It was about time, we knew the day would eventually come, yet we feared it for some reason.
I was anxious about sending my men back into space, back to search for our comrades in arms, our friends, and hopefully our future.
"Optimus, the shuttle is ready"
"Thank you Ironhide, I realise I'm doing a lot in sending just the two of you back up there but-"
"You don't really have a choice about that." Ironhide interrupted in his oh so familiar decisive tone. " Besides, Bee now has his human charge, and you need to stay for our alliance with the humans, Ratchet and I can take care of this."
" Still I wish there was a better way. Contact me as regularly as possible. If there is any sign of alert, any at all, you contact us right away."
"Affirmative Optimus. You take care of things on earth, and if you need us, just say the word" I watched him as he had a firm grip on my shoulder for support than left for the mini shuttle where Ratchet was waiting, I had already said my farewell to him, but he still looked quite apprehensive on leaving me behind, such was the fate of my two caretakers, Ratchet and Ironhide, the two mechs that basically took care of me and always gave me the moral support I needed when I was a youngling.
Normally we wouldn't devide when we were so few, especially in our current situation, but a few weeks ago we received a short transmission from not very far away, most likely an autobot that received my message.
We couldn't ignore a chance to bring back another autobot to our midst, and besides, who knew why that transmission wasn't a recording or didn't have any words? They simply gave us their signal, nothing more; it could be because this autobot was in trouble. If so we couldn't ignore its plea for help.
Bumblebee
It had been literally days since Ironhide and Ratchet departed, not that I was that surprised, our shuttle was improvised, and wasn't built with the best materials for a space journey either, it would require intensive attention and care while in space, and it couldn't go that fast, even if they did just go all the way over to Saturn.
But was I surprised when that evening I got a call from Optimus warning me we had to leave the planet.
A quick call to the government and they had everything prepared for me to leave my charge, Sam Witwicky under their protection, still, I couldn't help but feel bad on leaving him.
"Are you sure you'll be allright Sam?"
"Come on Bumblebee, what could possibly happen? I mean look at this place, I have the FBI camping in my back yard. I don't think there'll be a problem here."
"But-"
"Go on! Scoot! Get the hell out of here you oversized bee! You have work to do, your other friends need you more than I do right now." He insisted with that big goofy grin that seemed to always assure me he'd be fine. I was reluctant to leave him, mainly because we feared the decepticons might try to get their revenge on him, since it was the young human who eventually brought Megatron to his demise.
Yet here I was, now driving in the highway, heading for the still under heavy construction base, we had found a nice place nearby, secluded from humans, not that we needed to make sure it was out of the way, the government wittingly made up a little white lie about radioactivity in the area, thus forbidding any humans to get near our base.
I didn't even get to come inside since Optimus was already outside waiting for me next to the second shuttle, unfortunately this one was a bit small, since it was an emergency only.
The good news was that because it WAS so small, and because it was an emergency shuttle, it could fly fast than the other one, the bad news was that Optimus was a little too big for it so it'd be crowded inside.
"Sir, are you sure we should be leaving earth unprotected?" I asked as soon as I transformed, I could clearly see his doubts in his optics, but really, what choice did we have?
"Ratchet sent a distress signal, he couldn't quite tell me what was going on, but it was enough to figure out he was taking care of someone and by the gunfire I could hear I'd say Ironhide was holding back an enemy. Ratchet wouldn't have asked for help unless he really needed it." Was my prime's answer as he gazed at the stars for a moment with a deep and thoughfull expression. "Come we must hurry"
I wasn't exactly a pilot or a flier, but I knew my way around a shuttle and could manage the controls well enough to send us out into space. Optimus had to remain sitting on the ground the whole way,
It didn't take as long as our comrades to get there, but it still took a full day and a half, and when we got there….well…lets just say that the deceptions were a little surprised to see Optimus come out of such a small shuttle. They fled, such seemed to be their reaction now that megatron was gone and starscream no where to be found.
The other Shuttle was in pretty bad shape, but it seemed like its defensive system had protected it quite well, and some holes in the area's earth indicated some bots had met the wrong end of Ironhide's plasma cannon.
And speaking of which…
"Optimus!Bumblebee! Its about time! Hurry up and get in! Before those fraggers get back." He said in what was clearly and exhausted tone, he had probably been fighting the decepticons all this time by himself. It was a good thing we decided to put this shuttle's defensive systems top priority.
"We've managed to hold them back so far, but I don't know for how much longer, Ratchet still needs a few more hours before we can leave this planet" he said leading the way through the shuttle over to the emergency room.
"Ironhide, calm down for a bit and tell me, what exactly happened." Optimus said in a serene tone, but this seemed to do nothing to my guardian, he was tense, every platting on his body looked ready for a surprise attack. I had grown under his care long enough to know him this well.
" See for yourself " he said stopping next to the emergency room window and pointing at it. Curiously my prime went ahead but stood still in front of the glass window. Not knowing exactly why he seemed so surprised my own curiosity was spiked and I approached as well, what I saw nearly made my spark drop out of its casing.
There in the medical berth Ratchet was working on a small mechanical body, this very sight made my circuits sizzle! Right in front of us we were seeing what was apparently a sparkling, the equivalent to a very young child or a baby for humans, and a most precious thing for cybertronians. To me, it probably meant more than to any of the others. To me it meant, I was no longer the last and youngest of our kind.
Ironhide
"Ironhide….but…how…?" Optimus managed to ask me in his bewilderment, I merely smirked, though it quickly faded as I turned to watch the sparkling again.
"We found'er runnin' away from the decepticons when we got here. She was too afraid to trust us, so she ran from our help and from those fraggers. Eventually they managed to take a hit on her side, Ratchet's been trying to fix her since then, as far as we know theres three decepticons around here. Blackout, Thundercracker and Scorponok. " I informed keeping mind to any warning sounds that could come from the outside.
"Her?" Bumblebee repeated looking even more shocked than Optimus was, poor bot, he barely got to meet any femmes during his life.
"Yes, her, she's a femme. We were just as surprised when Ratchet found out by examining her protoform." Usually in protoforms cybertronians were very hard to distinguish and it took a medic's skills to be able to notice the subtle hints to notice. " He says he'll just fix what's necessary and then we'll move back, apparently she's reaching the age for her first upgrade so there's really no motive to fix her armour too much. Also, there's something else you might find of interest Optimus" I said keeping my optics on Ratchet as he did his miracles.
"I honestly don't know how else you can surprise me today Ironhide" he said in a tone that indicated he was struggling to find his voice processor back online. I raised an optic ridge at him wondering how he'd take the news.
"We received a transmission, it's still a bit far away but we managed to contact."
There was a long silence; I didn't know who looked more surprised, Optimus or Bumblebee. They both stared back at me as if I had just been painted pink.
"I take back what I said" Optimus said looking back to the window. "Did you manage to find out who they were?"
"Yes…But your not going to be entirely pleased…its going to be a security nightmare for you."
"Who could be coming that could cause so much trouble?" Bumblebee asked, although he seemed to have his bets on a certain pair of devils everyone knew.
I sighed rubbing my nose bridge platting ready to give Optimus the big blow.
"Everyone"
Ratchet
I was momentarily distracted from my delicate work when I first heard Bumblebee's yelp of surprise.
"WHAT?!" I looked up to see both him and Optimus staring at Ironhide who looked to be enjoying himself by shocking the two. I quickly turned back to my work, I had no idea what Ironhide was telling them, other than perhaps the femme that was surviving by my hands. But I knew the old bot as if he were my own brother, when I had asked him what he was stressing so much about he simply told me to just worry on the sparkling and that he'd handle it, no need to get my processor worried over other subjects. Well a lot of good that did to me, now I was wondering what he was hiding from me. Still I knew he did it for me to concentrate on saving this fragile life. I was lucky, so incredibly lucky. It was a very frail spark, it didn't seem to have that much of a will to fight nor to survive, plus it was tired. I could guess this sparkling had been running away for some time considering she had some injuries with a few days of existence. How she survived? I had absolutely no idea, I didn't even guess how she got into this planet, Ironhide made sure the sensors didn't pick any other cybertronian in it. I had however a good guess. We had found attachable jet thrusters in the field right before we had found her. We could deduce she had managed to run away from the deceptions with it and crash-landed in this planet, the lack of paint and the signs of overheating were the proof of that.
Finally, double checking my data pads I concluded my work was done for now, I left the alarms ready to warn me when the young one would wake up and left the room for some well deserved recharge, yet as I was about to leave I couldn't help but glance back one more time and wonder, what was a sparkling, of all beings, doing way out here all by itself?
So er… how'd'ya like it?lol its my first TF fanfiction, so please be cool about it :D
Also, if your interested, I'd like suggestions for our brave lil femme over there! Since she'll be waking up in the next chapter!
