In a dark and abandoned looking warehouse, a girl in her early teens hung up her phone call and walked to a door in the dark place. When she opened the door, the dark room was barely lit by the glow of a computer. When she looked to the right of the doorway she was standing in, a huge figure stood in the darkness. "He's waiting for you," a female voice said. "Do I need to be worried?" "Don't know," said another voice from another figure, this time the sound of a man's. The girl nodded her head and went to the computer and activated a holographic screen. She sat in a chair in front of it as Optimis Prime's face appeared. "Optimis Prime. I suppose you have another mission for me," the girl said, her face still hard to see in the lighting.
Prime shook his head as the girl drummed her fingers on the arms of her chair. "Not exactly." The girl raised an eyebrow as Optimis began to explain. "You know that me and four other Autobots are here on this planet to protect your human kind and not just the two you were assigned to." The girl nodded as Optimis continued. "Well a while back three of them befriended humans and they now work with us." The girl clicked her tongue disapprovingly as she shook her head. "Are you trying to expose our secret and go soft, Prime?"
Prime sighed and continued to speak. "Well, we need help with an upcoming mission and the group is not fully experienced so-" "So you want to borrow one of the Autobots I have with me now," the girl interrupted. "No," Optimis said. The girl looked at him in shock then finally realized what he meant. "Prime you've lost your touch if you need to call for my help to assist some inexperienced, weak, helpless civilians. You know I only work with the Autobots I know." Optimis just looked at the girl as she scowled. "I won't do it."
"It will only be a temporary partnership then you can go back to working with only your Autobots." The girl scoffed and went quiet for what felt like an hour. "Alright," she finally said as she got up and ready to turn off the screen. "Send me the coordinates of your base and I'll be there by tomorrow at noon." "I think you know where to go." With that Optimis hung up and left the girl back into a dimly lit room. "Digit, Wrench, start packing up... We're going to my old home."
Jack yawned as he walked into the garage to the sound of Arcee's engine revving. "It's Saturday, why do you have to wake me up so early?" "Last night I got a message from Optimis. He said it was urgent and to get to the base with you before noon. Trust me it's no picnic letting you ride on me while you're still half asleep, either," the motorcycle said as the teenager got on and opened the garage. They left for the base but had to make a quick stop at the gas station to fill Arcee's tank.
During the process a girl around Jack's age on a silver motorcycle with psome dark purple on it and black seat pulled into the stall next to him about the same time a sports car with a pine green paint job along with one burnt red streak in the middle pulled into the stall next to them. As the girl got off Jack looked at her outfit. She wore a faded purple shirt under a military jacket with knee high pants and long black ripped socks and worn down neon blue sneakers with camo green laces. Jack took out the pump and reached for his helmet as the girl took of her purple helmet, causing a curly blonde pony tail to fall out from under it.
Jack didn't realized he was staring at her till she turned around to look at him. "Somethin' wrong?" Jack blinked and was suddenly glad that he was wearing his helmet as he felt his cheeks heated up in embarrassment. "Uh, nope. Nothin' wrong here," he quickly replied. The girl nodded then looked at Arcee in her bike form. "Sweet ride. Guess you're a bike rider like me. But as much as I love this girl, I'm also a sports car type." The girl turned back to her bike and put the pump into it as Jack said goodbye and rode off.
"Hope you don't expect to run into her soon because I'm not racing with her," Arcee said. "Even if I did I didn't get a good look at her face through my helmet so I wouldn't recognize her," Jack said in reply. He then thought of what she was wearing. But there's probably a bunch of girls with blonde hair that wear military jackets, he thought as they entered the base. Miko and Raf were already there with Bumblebee and Bulkhead in bot form waiting for him. "There you are," the hyper girl exclaimed as he got off of Arcee to let her transform.
Optimis walked into the room with Ratchet and looked at Jack. "Good, you're all here," the leader said as everyone gathered around. "What was so important that we had to get up early on a Saturday?" Jack asked, still a little sleepy. "We are expecting another huan to help us with a mission along with two other Autobots." "Wait, I thought we were the only humans that knew about you besides Fowler and Jack's mom," Miko said. "That's true," Rachet said, "but this one has been with us for a longer time. She's a very tough girl. She's been on many missions and very experienced. And even though she is a very good ally, she prefers to only work with the two bots she's known since she first met us." Jack suddenly started to get worried that another tough and possibly crazy girl like Miko could be entering the group.
"I think I know who you're referring to," Arcee said. Suddenly there was the sound of two engines entering the base. "Here she comes," Bulkhead said. Jack's eyes widened as he saw the same girl and vehicles from the gas station enter with girl on the bike. When she got off she looked around with her helmet on and shook her head. "Prime, you really did lose your touch if you're base is this dump," she said as the lead bot walked to her. "Dump!? Who do you think you are!?" The girl looked at Miko and walked towards her.
From where Jack was standing it looked like Miko was starting to regret saying that as the girl stood in front of her. She was as tall as Jack so she was almost towering over the younger girl. The girl took off her helmet, causing her pony tail to fall down a few inches bellow her shoulders. She leaned a few inches forward, her face straight and serious and frankly a little scary as she spoke to Miko. "Who do I think I am. Eliza, Eliza Clarkson. The best human fighter on the Autobot's side. So watch out, because when someone picks a fight with me, I usually win."
Miko gave a worried smile as Eliza walked away to Raf and gave Bulkhead a 'What just happened?' look, earning a shrug from the giant bot. Jack watched her step in front of the youngest member of the crew and looked down at him. "A pre-teen? How are you brave enough to fight alongside the most strongest things in the universe? And if not for your strength, then perhaps your intelligence. But then again, you don't look like you're smart enough to operate the technology the Autobots use." Raf stayed quiet yet scared as she walked away then ran behind Bumblebee.
Finally, Eliza stood in front of Jack. He finally saw her face, and he saw that her eyes were as blue as an Autobot's. "Pff. And I suppose that you are their leader?" "Yes I am. And my name is Jack." "Well, Jack, I should've guessed that your bike was actually Arcee. But I'm surprised that a human like you could earn her partnership." "Eh, she really doesn't call me a partner. More like Junior Partner." "Still, a boy like you probably has almost no chance of surviving a fight." "Who said we fight with the bots?"
Eliza looked puzzled then put a smirk on her face. "Wow, you guys really must be weak and helpless if the Autobots don't let you battle." "Eli, quit bothering them," a female voice said. Behind Eliza her motorcycle transformed into a bot with silver armor and purple arm and leg pieces with what was a seat on the side's of the bot's head. The car followed transforming into a taller bot with pine green armor with burnt red stripes on his arms, legs, and two across its chest.
"How rude of me," Eliza said as the Autobots stood side-by-side and as she walked backwards between them. "I can't believe I forgot to introduce my favorite Autobots. Meet Digit..." Eliza gestured to the Autobot that was once a motorcycle, "and this is Wrench." She gestured to the Autobot that was once a sports car then looked back at Miko and Raf. "And your names? I know the names of your bots, but not yours. Prime didn't tell me." "Miko." "Raf."
Eliza nodded then walked towards the leader. "I don't have anywhere to stay and I need a place for all my stuff." "There is a spare room prepared for you." "Good. But remember Prime, this is a one time thing. After this, I leave and I have no other business with these people." She glared at Jack, Miko, and Raf as Ratchet led her, Digit, and Wrench to a room close by. As soon as Ratchet left the room and closed the door behind him, Miko started to complain.
"Alright, Bulk, drive me outa her!" "Wait why?" "Because this girl says she's more tougher and stronger than us and I know it's a lie!" "Actually, what she says about her strength and intelligence is true," Arcee said. "Yeah, right," Jack said. When he looked at his partners face he knew she wasn't kidding. "It's true. She has a record of unlimited missions and she builds her own weapons and has repaired many bots and has even fought along my side." Jack looked at her in shock. Even though he had only knew her for a little he never thought she would fight alongside any human.
As the kids went out with Eliza to get some lunch, they stayed quiet throughout the ride to the restruant. As they waited for their order, Jack tried to start a conversation. "So, uh, Eli-" "Don't call me that." "Got it. So where did you live before coming here?" "Well, I originaly was born here but I had to leave for my own safety. So I now live in a warehouse in California. And no offence but you're a terrible conversation starter." Miko rolled her eyes as Jack kicked her under the table to be nice.
Back at the base, while Miko and Raf played video games, Jack watched as Eliza worked on some sort of device. He walked over to her to get a closer look and grew more curious. "What sre you working on?" "A high-tech device that allows the user to see miles away. Like, half way across the country, away." "Wow. Can I try it?" Jack started to reach for the device but his hand was slapped by Eliza. "Don't touch my things. Espesialy if their inventions that aren't finished."
As she turned her head away fro Jack and back to her work, Jack silently mocked what she had said as he turned away and walked to Arcee. "Can we go? I think my mom should know about this." Arce rolled her eyes but transformed and waited for Jack to hop on. As they entered the town, Jack looked back to see if Eliza or one of her Autobots were following him. "Jack I think you're over reacting a little," Arcee said as he turned his eyes back to the road. "What makes you say that?"
Arcee stopped suddenly, causing Jack to jerk forward as she went forward again before he could straighten up again. "Okay, maybe a little." Arcee chuckled as they pulled up the driveway and into the garage. Jack went to his room and picked up his history book and a notebook to start on his homework and waited for his mother to come home.
It's bad enough that I have to work with these losers, but now I have to stay in here all night? It was eight in the evening and Eliza was already getting ready for bed. She would usually be out on an evening drive with Wrench but Optimis said that for her own safety she would have to stay indoors at night for her entire visit. She picked her army green military jacket from the floor and hung it up. She took her phone out of one of the pockets and was about to charge it when she received a call.
Please don't let it be who I think it is, she said as she looked at the caller ID. She groaned and ignored it as Digit and Wrench walked in through the huge doorway of the room she was staying in. "Who was it?" "Who do you think?" Wrench shook his head and sighed disapprovingly. "What? I can't tell her how I really am. That would probably expose your secret. Might as well spare the lies." The Autobots shook their heads then left thee room, leaving Eliza alone in the dark place.
Hey everyone!
Wicked story, right?
Well there's more to come.
