WELCOME BACK
Chapter 1 – 20 Years...
Team Prime landed on Earth soils after twenty years. Optimus Prime sat in the command chair looking at his team who glanced around, smiles on their faceplates.
"How do you think the kids are doing?" Bulkhead asked suddenly,
"I doubt they're kids anymore Bulks." Wheeljack, the newest member of Team Prime, and former wrecker said as he walked into the room. Bulkhead frowned, but smiled again as Bumblebee whirred,
"They're still kids to us!" He said crossing his arms. Arcee laughed,
"'Bee, you're still a kid." All the Autobots laughed as their youngest member beeped. Ratchet sighed,
"Why did we come back to this dirt ball again?" The old CMO growled. Optimus Prime looked at the grouchy medic,
"We came back because the Decepticons did." The Autobot commander said. Suddenly an alarm sounded,
"'Cons sighted in Jasper, Nevada!" Arcee exclaimed, leaping up from her seat, Bumblebee doing the same. Bulkhead got up a little slower then his smaller comrades,
"Autobots! Transform and roll out!" Optimus Prime said and the six Autobots left the ship. Ratchet stopped before leaving and turned the cloaker on. Then followed the rest of the team.
Joanna stepped out from Jasper High School with a sigh.
"Hey! Joey!" An obnoxious voice came from behind her, she huffed and turned around to see the twin terrors, Forest and Rain, leaping down the front steps towards her. She looked at the two sixteen-year-old half-Asian boys. They grinned as Joey scowled. Forest's green eyes sparkled as he brushed shaggy black hair away from them. Rain's blue one's were hardly visible behind his scruffy hair. Joey's own dark brown hair was pulled into a loose braid and her grey eyes looked extreamly annoyed.
"Whatca up to Joey?" Forest asked still grinning like a moron, Joey rolled her eyes,
"Going home." She said simply and started walking away,
"Hey! Joe!" Rain said walking after her, Forest loping behind. Joey sighed and walked faster,
"Don't you two have a detention to get to?" A younger voice said, the three turned to see Rachel, the young, mouse-brown haired girl sitting in a tree drawing. She grinned and brushed brown ringletts from her face, Rachel put the scetch pad into her backpack then she swung down and landed lightly beside her friends, her tawny eyes playful. Joey smiled as Rachel walked over to her grinning, Forest moaned and facepalmed, Rain growned and ran a hand through his hair.
"Can't we just skip out?" The blue-eyed twin muttered, Rachel grinned and pulled a laptop out from her bag, she opened it and stuck her toung out,
"Already done. It says here that you two don't have detention." Rain grinned and fist-pumped his twin,
"Our little haker strikes again!" Forest cheered. Joey and Rachel started laughing.
"C'mon lets go." Joey said and the four walked to the bus stop. They got there just as the bus pulled up. The four teenagers stepped up and each dropped money into the bus driver's hand. They found a seat at the back and sat down. Rachel instantly pulled out her laptop and started typing. Rain leaned over,
"You really love that don't you?" Rachel looked at the older teen and raised an eyebrow,
"Of course she does. Her father gave it to her." Joey snapped from where she was telling off a random guy from their school who was trying to ask her out. Then she glared at the teen, "Screw off." He instantly shut up and walked away quickly. Forest started laughing,
"Ya! Ten points for Joey!" He hooted and high fived his brother. Both girls rolled their eyes,
"Stop ten." The driver called from where he sat at the front of the bus. Joanna, Forest, Rain and Rachel got up and made their way to the front. Forest and Rain were still laughing.
"You can shut up any time now." Joey said quietly as Rachel thanked the driver and they all left the bus.
"So are we heading to the fort?" Rain asked as they walked into the desert. Joey rolled her eyes,
"No shit." Forest started laughing, Rachel looked at them,
"You two laugh way to much." She said sweetly. Joey sighed,
"C'mon, lets go." She muttered and walked forward followed by Rachel. The twins lagged behind making faces at the back of the girl's heads. Suddenly the ground shook. Rachel screamed and grabbed Joey's hand like a little girl. As the tremors passed she blushed in embrassment,
"Sorry..." She muttered and dropped the older girl's hand. Joey patted the fourteen-year-old's curly head,
"No problem kiddo..." The sixteen-year-old sighed. The twins stayed quiet for once. They knew how much shaking scared their younger friend, ever since It happened, so they didn't laugh. The ground shook again and Rachel whimpered. Joanna smiled kindly and took her hand, leading the younger girl forward. The terror twins caught up and Rain put a hand on her shoulder. Rachel smiled, wiping a tear from her eye. Joey smiled to Rain, he was the kinder twin, he was less likely to tease someone insted he'd comfort them. He was a prankster, but not cruel. Forest on the other hand, he wasn't cruel either, he was just too sarcastic for his own good. She looked at Rachel, she was a sweet kid, quiet around anyone but her long time friends, she was also the smartest of the four, way smarter then someone her age. Joey brushed a lock of dark hair away from her eyes, she considered herself the leader of the group, she was calm and collected, but even she lost her cool once in awhile. Everyone had a breaking point. She was independant and didn't like flirts. Forest had found that the hard way. The friends continued walking then froze.
"Oh my God!" Rain muttered,
"Cool!" Forest whispered. Joey's jaw dropped and Rachel was looking up wide eyed. Standing in front of them was a sinister looking giant silver robot. It was looking at them with blood red eyes.
"Humans?" It boomed, then suddenly smiled,
"Dude, that thing is creeping me out..." Rain whispered, Joey looked at them,
"Run!" She screeched and the four turned and ran. Joey, being the track star she was, was infront. Followed closely by Rain, the faster of the twins. Forest, being more of a clumbsy guy, but still fast was right behind him. But Rachel wasn't a runner, she was a thinker, a stratagist and artist, she wasn't fast, but she had stamina, she was behind, Joey knew she could keep running for awhile but she was a slow runner. Rachel suddenly sped up, drawing up beside Forest. He grabbed her hand and they came up to Rain, Forest dragging Rachel behind him. They rounded a corner and Joey yelped in surprise as a yellow and black muscle car and a navy blue motorcycle sped towards them. They both skidded to a stop and the four teens noticed that no one was driving either of them,
"Get on!" The motorcycle snapped, shocked, Joey complied and climbed on. The yellow and black car beeped,
"He wants us to get it..." Rachel whispered to Forest and Rain. They blinked at her,
"What?" Rain muttered shocked, the car whirred and Rachel glared at them,
"He said it's either get in or get smushed by the silver one who was chasing us." Forest and Rain stumbled forward and climbed into the backseats and Rachel climbed into the passenger seat. The young teen looked at the dashboard,
"Thank you." She muttered. Then glanced out the window and screamed, Forest gasped,
"Big, mean and silver is coming up fast!" Rain yelled,
"Go! Go! Go!" Forest screamed. The car beeped and sped off, followed by the motorcycle. The humans watched as a large truck rumbled past, followed by an abulance, a bulky green truck and a large white, green and red racecar. Then they transformed from the cars to robots. All four teens gasped in shock,
"More of them?" Joey's voice was squeeky, showing she was scared.
"Don't worry kid, we're the good guys." A line from a movie played through the radio. They muscle car and motorcycle turned behind a large rock and let the teens get out. Joey ran over to Rachel, Forest and Rain as the climbed out of the muscle car.
"Bumblebee! Let's go!" The motorcycle snapped to the muscle car, who beeped and they too transformed. They all looked at the two now robots in silent shock,
"If they weren't trying to kill us this would be so cool..." Forest muttered. The female robot rolled her 'eyes',
"We aren't trying to kill you." She grumbled and the male one nodded with a beep,
"So your Autobots?" Rachel asked, looking at them with wide tawny eyes. The female raised an 'eyebrow'
"Yes... How did you know?" Rachel shifted,
"I herd stories from my dad..."
"You did?"
"He's dead."
"Oh... I'm sorry about that..." The female one said, dropping down on one knee, "And who was your father?"
"His name was Raphael" The yellow one, Bumblebee, beeped and ran over to her. "What? Yes his nickname was Raf. Why?" Then Bumblebee whirred and buried his head in his hands. The female sighed and placed a hand on his shoulder,
"It's ok 'Bee..." Then she turned to the others, "Names?"
"I'm Forest Anderson." Forest said, and looked at Rain who stood beside him, "This is my brother, Rain." Joey rolled her eyes,
"We call them the Terror Twins." Rachel said with a smirk,
"Who were your parents?" The female demanded, Rain held his hands,
"Whoa there robot lady!" He muttered, "First of all, what's your names?" The female sighed and rolled her 'eyes',
"My name is Arcee." She muttered, then pointed in Bumblebee's direction, "That's Bumblebee." Then Arcee turned to the twins, "Now, answer my question."
"Our father's name was Jason! Our mother's name was Miko!" Forest said, to the shocked 'bots.
"Was?" Arcee said looking at them, "Don't tell me Miko is dead too!" Rain shrugged,
"We dunno." He muttered, "She vanished without a trace a year ago. Same day Rachel's dad was killed." Arcee rounded on Joey,
"You! Your name!" She snapped, Joey raised an eyebrow,
"Joanna Mason Darby." She said and crossed her arms, 'Bee whirred quietly and looked at Arcee, who's jaw was dropped open,
"Is your father's name Jack?" Joey nodded, "Is he dead?" Joey scoffed,
"Hell no. He's still alive and kicking." Forest looked at Arcee,
"You happy now?"
Arcee stood there shocked. They had just learned that Raf was dead, Miko was missing and Jack was alive. And they had kids! 'Bee looked at her and klicked,
":You okay?:" He asked, Arcee looked at him. His bright blue optics were dulled slightly,
"Am I okay? What about you?" She exclaimed, the humans stood there quietly, "We just learned that Raf is dead." 'Bee shrugged,
":It happens...:" He muttered quietly. Arcee was taken aback,
"He was your best friend!"
"You know out parents?" Joanna suddenly asked. Arcee and Bumblebee's heads snapped down to where the humans stood.
"Very well." Arcee muttered, "They were our partners."
/:Arcee, Bumblebee! We need help! Are the humans secured?:/ Optimus's voice boomed over the comm. Arcee sighed,
"Yes they are." Arcee muttered, "We're on our way sir." When she disconected with the leader she looked down at the humans sternly, "Stay!" Forest frowned,
"We're not dogs!" He snapped. Joanna sighed at the same time Arcee did,
"We need to stay out of their way." Joanna muttered grabbing his arm and meeting his glare calmly, "This isn't a game Forest. There are no extra lives."
"She right bro." Rain muttered and sat down beside Rachel, "Just stay out of the way." Arcee looked at Bumblebee slightly surprised at how much Joanna sounded like Jack. Rachel looked up,
"Good luck 'Bee." She smiled, 'Bee's optics sparkled and he whirred. Rachel nodded, "If you guys win, I'll play video games with you." Bumblebee chirped and the two Autobots ran off to join the battle.
