Episode 1: Meet the Autobots
In this Chapter(Episode), I introduce the Autobots and explain how they meet their human friends. Autobots: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Ratchet, Jazz, Cliff Jumper and Arcee currently live in their secret base outside of Phoenix Arizona. The addition of two young rookies(made up by me), Max and Speed also add to the fire power to the Autobot team. I do not own any of the Characters except for Max, Speed and the humans in this story. I do not own the cars or brands mentioned in this story either.
None of the humans from the movies are in this, and some of the Autobots have different vehicle modes. Decepticons appear in this chapter but none of the main ones.
Bumblebee and Ironhide were finishing their rounds one day. Driving in their vehicle mode and fixing to head back to base. Bumblebee was out patrolling to keep the streets clean of any Decepticons. Their day seemed to have been wasted as they drove around all day and not a sign of any Decepticons anywhere.
"What a boring day, huh Bee?" said Ironhide. "I was hoping to try out the new cannon, I installed."
"Yep, pretty boring. I was hoping for some excitement for sure!" said Bumblebee.
"Don't let Ratchet hear you!" said Ironhide. "You'll end up cleaning the base again!"
Bumblebee started to laugh at Ironhide's wise crack, when he saw a group of cars lined up on another highway as they were coming to a four-way fork in the road.
"Bee, let's go check it out just to be safe" said Ironhide. "Wouldn't want to over look this and one of them turning out to be a Decepticon!"
"Agreed Ironhide, let's check it out!" said Bumblebee.
Bumblebee and Ironhide both made a right turn and went down the highway where they saw all the cars lined up. It looked like they were having illegal races there.
"Bee, do you your sensors pick up Decepticon signals?" said Ironhide.
"Yeah, but I can't tell which one it is!" said Bumblebee.
"Alright, let's split up! And remember, no transforming unless absolutely necessary!" said Ironhide.
"Ten-four!" confirmed Bumblebee.
The search for the Decepticon continued, but no luck figuring out which car it was. The search was about to get more difficult as the race began. Without delay, Bumblebee joined the race. A bright Red Ford GT was blocking Bumblebee from the back of the pack of cars. It was then he noticed the symbol on the back, it was the Decepticon they were looking for.
Bumblebee tried to stay behind the Decepticon but the Decepticon had already detected him and decided to head to the front, so Bumblebee had to follow. Soon they had reached the leader of the race. The leader was driving 1969 Dodge Charger and was pretty fast. The Decepticon soon decided that the only way he would lose Bumblebee was to spin the leader. The Decepticon and the leader were now, side by side. The Decepticon then slowed down just enough to spin the leader off the road, which was on a hill at the time. The car sustaned heavy damage, and the driver was pretty bad hurt and rendered unconscious. Luckily for him, Ironhide wasn't far behind driving on the dirt. He was prepared to help the human escape the badly damaged car.
Meanwhile, Bumblebee was now chasing down the Decepticon for the lead. But the win wasn't what Bee was after. Bee was able to catch the Decepticon and give him a good knock to the rear quarter pannel and send him flying off the road, flipping several times. Bee then went off the road to face the Decepticon, as the rest of the cars in the race went by. The Decepticon was too badly damaged to transform all the way, all it managed to transform was the top half of his body. Bumblebee had transformed into his Autobot mode to finish the Decepticon.
"No, please! I-I-I didn't have a choice, it was all Megatron's idea!" said the Decepticon.
"Spare me your excuses, Decepticon!" said Bumblebee. "I saw you take out a human on the road, and the Autobot penalty for attempting to murder a foreign life form is death!"
"Nooooo!" said the Decepticon as Bumblebee finished him with a shot from his cannon.
Ironhide had rescued the human and caught up to Bumblebee. Ironhide was obviously satisfied now. But he had a slight snag in his agenda.
"Bee, the human that the Decepticon spun off the road is alive, but he needs time to wake up and we cannot leave him here!" said Ironhide.
"We will have to take him to base then" said Bee. "Ratchet is going to hate this!"
Bumblebee transformed back into his Camaro mode and joined Ironhide, who is a Chevy Silverado 3500, on the drive back to the base.
Jazz and Cliff Jumper were in a similar situation to what Ironhide and Bumblebee were in before their big fight. Both had been bored and driving through Phoenix, looking for Decepticons. Several neighborhoods and streets were searched and nothing happened. Finally they had reached their last neighborhood before it was time to return to base.
"Jazz, do you sense that?" said Cliff Jumper.
"Oh yeah, I smell something stinky!" said Jazz. "Decepticon stinky!"
"But he is in this neighborhood!" said Cliff Jumper. "How will we weed him out?"
"Leave that to me" said Jazz as he transformed into his robot mode and snuck behind two houses. Cliff Jumper was waiting for some kind of signal from Jazz. Cliff Jumper's red Camaro vehicle mode wasn't exactly the most inconspicuous cover, but he had no choice but to sit there.
Jazz continued to sneak around but as he feared, humans were out even at sunset. Two back yards between him and his destination point had people in their back yards. Two girls were sitting in lawn chairs with umbrellas drinking water bottles, in one back yard. And a boy was sitting under a tree on his cell phone. Jazz didn't know what to do. In the mean time Cliff Jumper was just sitting their waiting for something to happen, when the car sitting in front of him, began to transform.
"Good, the Autobots are gone!" said the Decepticon who was the green Toyota Camry sitting in front of Cliff.
"Come on Jazz, where are you?" said Cliff to himself.
"Now, to destroy these houses!" said the Decepticon.
Cliff Jumper couldn't wait anymore he had to act now! He transformed to his robotic self and began to sneak up on the Decepticon. The Decepticon was getting his cannon ready, when he got grabbed by Cliff Jumper and tossed into the park way.
"Autobot!" said the Decepticon. "I figured there was more than one!"
Jazz had to make up his mind and fast. He heard the clanking metal from the fighting robots in front of the houses. Jazz couldn't just go back either, due to the fact that he had already made the people behind him wonder what was going on, due to his size and weight shaking the ground as he was sneaking around earlier. Suddenly he saw the Decepticon flying over the house where the boy was at! The boy was horrified as he looked up from his phone and saw a giant robot flying at him. However, Jazz made his decision and jumped over the yard with the two girls, to catch the Decepticon before it could hit the boy.
"You might want to look away!" said Jazz to the human as he stabbed the Decepticon in the chest with his blade.
In it's dying words the Decepticon said, "Megatron will rise, Optimus will fall!"
Cliff Jumper made his way to the back yards as well. "Looks like we have some humans to take to base!" he said to Jazz.
"I am sorry you three, but you will have to come with us" said Jazz to the boy and the two sisters, who did witness the destruction of the Decepticon. The humans climbed into the red Camaro and the Blue Ford Mustang and they drove off to return to base. The humans were so dumbfounded with what they were going through that they could hardly speak.
Back at base, Optimus Prime, Ratchet, and Arcee were training the young Rookies, Max and Speed for combat against the Decepticons. Max was learning very fast, and it was almost as if he feared nothing at all! Speed was progressing as well but he had a little big of confidence issues. After training, the young Autobots got to chose their vehicle modes. Max chose a red Chevrolet Impala for his vehicle mode and Speed chose a Blue Dodge Charger SRT8 as his "V-mode".
"Remember, young ones. This is a time of war! Do not take anything that you have learned lightly or else it could be catastrophic for all of us!" said the wise leader, Optimus Prime to Max and Speed.
"You can count on us, Optimus!" said Max.
"Yes! We will not fail you, sir!" said Speed.
Their orientation was interrupted when Ironhide, Bumblebee, Jazz and Cliff Jumper arrived at base. Jazz and Cliff Jumper let their humans out before they transformed. The girls and the boy walked around the base in awe, still dumbfounded at this new adventure. The boy walked by Ironhide who was still in V-mode.
"Boy, please open my front passenger door and pull the young boy out of my front seat" said Ironhide to the boy.
"Sure thing, sir!" said the boy, being the first of the four humans to say a word.
"What are you thinking? Bringing them in here?" said Ratchet.
"What else were we supposed to do? Leave the boy behind?" said Ironhide. "He was going to die if I didn't rescue him from his car!"
"Ironhide, you did the right thing!" said Optimus. "Forgive us, guests. What are your names?"
The boy, answered first. "I'm Andre! Andre Holloway!" said the boy.
"I am Liz Burgess" said the older of the two sisters.
"And I am Jackie Burgess" said the younger sister.
Andre was trying to wake the other boy up. He tried shaking him, and it was working but not well enough. Andre really didn't know what else to do. Liz, however had an idea. She grabbed a small bucket and filled it with cold water and poured it all over him. Within seconds the other boy was conscious again.
The boy was really scared. The first thing that he saw when he woke up was Liz with the empty bucket in her hand, but he could only see her clearly when his eyes adjusted to the light, just seconds after opening them.
"Did I die and go to heaven?" said the boy.
"Hardly" said Andre to the boy. "But you may want to get a good look at where you are!"
After looking around, the boy became amazed but confused, and a little scared.
"Do not worry, human!" said Optimus to the boy. "You are safe here. We are your friends!"
"How did I get here?" said the boy.
"I rescued you from your car" said Ironhide from across the room.
"My car?" said the boy. "What happened to my car?"
"Totaled I'm afraid" said Bumblebee.
The boy looked down in sadness. That car was obviously special to him. "I loved that car. It belonged to my dad before he handed it down to me!" said the boy. "But thank you for saving my life."
"Do you have a name?" said Jackie.
"Jesse, Jesse Tucker" said the boy. "I am trying to become a racecar driver."
"Well you definitely have the skill!" said Bumblebee.
"You suck up!" said Jazz.
"You didn't see him in action, I did!" said Bee. "Ironhide can vouge for me too!"
"Thanks, uuuuuuh..." said Jesse, trying to figure out Bumblebee's name.
"The name's Bee! Bumblebee!" said Bumblebee.
Optimus had to break up the conversation to warn the humans of the dangers that faced them if they left unchaperoned.
"Before we get carried away" said Optimus. "I must tell you that on your way back home, you will need a guard! Decepticons are roaming on your planet and now that they have encountered you, they may also target you!"
The four human teens stood patiently as Optimus tried to decide who would go with whom.
"Liz you will go with Speed!" said Optimus. "Andre, with Jazz."
Optimus looked at Jackie and Jesse. Optimus decided not to pair Ironhide and Jesse up, to allow Ironhide to focus. "Jackie will be taken home with Jazz as well" said Optimus finally. "And Jesse, I want Max to accompany you home! I am sorry Ironhide but I need you to focus on the weapons right now, it's very crucial to our cause."
"I need Ironhide to remain here anyway!" said Ratchet. "I need to make repairs to his foot."
Before they left, Optimus had them do role call so the humans could get a better grasp on who was who.
"I am Optimus Prime!" began Optimus. "You will see me on the roads as a Blue Peterbilt Truck with Red flames."
"I am Bumblebee! You will see me as a Yellow Camaro!" said Bumblebee.
"I am Ironhide, you will see me as a Black Chevy Silverado 3500!" said Ironhide.
"I am Jazz, I will be the blue Ford Mustang with Black Racing stripes" said Jazz.
"I am Ratchet, my vehicle mode is just a red and white ambulance" said Ratchet.
"I am Cliff Jumper, my V-mode is a Red Camaro!" siad Cliff Jumper.
"I am Arcee, my V-mode is a Purple Motorcycle!" said Arcee.
"I am Max, the red hot Chevy Impala!" said Max, the wild rookie.
"And I am your friendly Blue Dodge Charger SRT8, Speed" said the timid Rookie.
"And we will protect you, and any other human that may fall into danger of the Decepticons!" said Optimus.
"Okay one question, bro!" said Andre. "What's a Decepticon?"
Chapter 2 is coming soon!
