"Arg...oh my head,...Ratchet? is everyone alright?" Optimus prime asked as he looked over the Autobots who were just waking up too, "We're fine! just a little stiff." Ratchet answered "man, what hit me?" Bulkhead asked as he leaned against the wall and as Bee helped Arcee up "A fair question." the prime said going over to the computer and tried to turn it on, but it wouldn't Ratchet huffed and tried turn it after shoving the taller bot out of the way, again same story, it was then he noticed how dark the base was and how much dust had accumulated, how long were they out for?
"We better contact Fowler."
"Can't do that communications are down."
"What about the children?"
"Again I can't Com...wait switch the local radio I'm picking up something,...i-it's Jack?!"
The bots all switched their comms to radio as Jack calm but worried voice flooded their audio receptors "2-4-1-10- My name is Jack Darby, can anyone hear me? if you can here this stay away from Jasper! take the back roads and run! the town is lost the town belongs to the dead! Repeat Jasper is gone! what was that?...shit Miko let's go!" the transmission cut off as the bots tried to figure out what on unicron's spark was going on?
meanwhile on the Nemesis
Megatron was not happy "What do you mean the engines are down?!" he yelled at random vehicon who was shaking under his gaze, when the drone didn't answer fast enough he thrown into a wall, as the warlord turned his red optics on the others. " I want these engines online and this ship in the air before the autobot scum finds us!"
he growled as the other cons got to work, while their leader went to find Soundwave. who was conversing with Knock-out who looked freak over something TIC showed him "Uh, Lord Megatron I think you should see this." he said looking at the visor the silent mech turned his helm to his leader and replayed what Laserbeak had found while flying outside,
Cities in ruin, highways blocked by a sea of cars leaving them, towns abandoned. but, what caught him off was footage of Temperance the E-type human they captured wandering an empty road. she noticed the metal bird waved at him "where the hell have you guys been?" she mumbled in a dead tone briefly pausing at a car she looked inside, and winced and continued to a small gas station. only to find the pumps destroyed and sign saying ''no gas'' she sighed kicking some dirt and scratching the back of her head.
"I might as well check the store, see if there's anything to salvage.", she said to herself reaching for the handle before fore the sound of a can being kicked got her and Laserbeak's attention, the con landed and curiously followed her as they walked over to the row of cars,
Temperance bent down to look under a truck and they saw child walking around playing with an empty can, Temperance calmly got up and went around the car saw a little boy with his back turned to her. he was wearing dirty shorts and black t-shirt.
"hey kid, are you okay?" she called out the boy froze "It's okay you can trust me I won't hurt-" her words died when the boy turned around; to reveal a bloodied mouth and milky dead eyes glaring at her.
the ash blond woman sighed sadly then calmly reached for the gun she had strapped to her side, the boy growled viciously at her as he made his way towards Temperance who pulled the trigger. bang echoed as the boy fell to the ground dead blood leaked from the back of his head.
the blonde holstered her weapon, as her gray eyes cautiously swept the area she ran to her car and drove off as Laserbeak went over to the child then over to the car, the human had looked into and saw a woman with a bullet wound in her head slumped up against the steering wheel, the con suddenly hissed when it saw in the distance more of those, infected humans shambling from the woods before he stopped recording flew off back to the Nemesis.
Megatron was silent for a moment then look at Knockout for an explanation since he was the medic and interacted with humans more then the other cons, the red mech noticed his master's gaze and cleared his throat "Call me crazy but, I think those were zombies." he said unsure he'd seen the movies, But it was impossible! they were fictional right?
"Zombies?"
"from the movies I'd seen they're dead humans. that somehow reanimated, and walk the earth to feed on the living."
"How would they have done that?"
"voodoo, a virus, biological warfare,..Maybe? oh, there was one with the comet."
Knock-out shrugged as Soundwave suddenly brought up the news article about the solar flare and eclipse "solar zombies... Now that's a new one," the red mech shut up when Megatron glared at him. then turn to Soundwave "Find Temperance and your daughter bring them back here." the warlord ordered TIC nodded and ran down the hall and out of the ship.
he then turned to Knock-out "Check and see if those fools have found a way bring the comms back up, and contact the Autobots." the red mech nodded but paused wondering if he heard right "The Bots sir?" Megatron just glared at him "Until, we figure out what caused this. our mission is on lock down and a temporary truce is in effect." he said before following after Soundwave to scout out the area.
with the humans group
A purple muscle car drove down a deserted road Raf sighed as he watched the scenery go by Abby sat in the divers seat to doing the same. when a tiny sneeze caused Abby to look in the back "Ops, did someone sneeze?" she chirped at the baby girl sitting in the back. who babbled happily as the auburn haired android. leaned out of the drivers seat and wipe the baby's nose, as the rear view moved to look at her and the child "there you go J.J. all clean~" she said chucking the tissue out the window.
"I'm not an expert on human sparklings but, shouldn't she be talking by now?"
"She's fine Steve."
"You sure about that? most of the other children her age at the camp already speaking."
"Like I said Jessica's fine, there's nothing wrong with her, she's just working at her own pace."
The Con was quiet as he and Abby looked over at Raf ever since his sister died giving birth to J.J. he hasn't spoken or acknowledged her, Abby usually act as her primary caregiver. this baby girl was his only family left, and he acts like she doesn't exist.
the android sighed as the familiar watch tower of the trailer park came up, about six Vehicons had helped clear out the walkers and built a security wall out old buses and trucks. Steve came to a stop and undid the seat belts Raf got out to find Jack and MIko.
two more cons named Bob and Polo came to them. they unhitched the trailer in the back, "Okay we got water filters, canned spaghetti, soup, beans, powdered milk and eggs, cold medicine pain killers and we hit a deer on the way over, so people are having stew tonight"
Abby said taking J.J. out of the backseat as the vehicons helped unload the trailer and one took the dead deer off Steve's roof before the car transformed, helped his brothers out.
"Ah, there's the aft kicker!" one of the vehicons named Floyd said looking down at J.J. in Abby's arms the baby giggled and snuggled into the android shoulder trying to hide "op now she's gone again." J.j. peeked out to of her ""Hiding place"" the con chuckled "Found her again!" the Auburn forced a smile as the purple mech teased the baby "Floyd did something happen?" she asked the vehicon's door fins twitch.
"I think I saw Laserbeak flying around." her spark sank as the purple mech calmly reached out to hold the little girl, the android complied as Floyd delicately cradled the tiny femme in his servo, gently caressed the baby's cheek and brown hair with his finger.
"So, that means Megatron is awake?"
"Seems like it."
"What now?"
"I don't know. and I speak for my brothers when I say; I don't want to leave you guys especially in this hell pit."
Floyd looked around the park watching the kids play, and adults and his brothers helping and working with each other to survive these dark times, he wouldn't wish this sort of plague on his worst enemy, with a sigh he calmly handed J.j. back to Abby.
the alarm suddenly went off "Unknown convoy heading this way!" Vince yelled from the tower Abby handed J.j, to Sierra who ushered the other children into an armored trailer "It's gonna be okay! just keep your heads down alright?" she heard the red head say as an older man closed the door and stood guard with Bob.
Abby calmly walked up to the front gate tower and looked through the binoculars Vince handed to her and nearly dropped them when she felt a familiar in her chest "Bee?Ratchet?...Hold your fire!" she called out the Vehicons and humans they looked at each other and shrugged.
as the girl jumped from the tower and ran over to the Autobot who transformed to greet her when suddenly she was pushed protectively behind Ratchet "Deceptions! don't mov-! Abby what are you;" Medic shouted as The Auburn haired girl suddenly jumped into their line of fire "Don't shoot! they're my friends!"
she said as the bots looked at her like she just said Miko was wearing a dress, "Your friends! Are you out of your-" Arcee started only for Prime to stop her "Let her explain..." he said as the Autobots put their guns away "Let them in!" Abby ordered Vince nodded and opened the gate as the bots rolled in and gawked; when they saw the small community the human vehicons made.
as the armored trailer opened and the kids ran out to their parents or guardians Sierra was the last out and handed J.j. back to Abby stared curiously up at the bots 'uog' she babbled "Yeah more metal people." the eyed Android humored as the bots stared down at the youngling "Abby, would you please tell why these cons are here?" Arcee demanded glaring every time one one of the looked at her.
"After that solar flare you guys went into stasis lock, The guys and myself were spared because they were in a mine and I was in the sub-level of the base, after a few days of waiting you guys didn't wake up, so I left to find help, instead I found hell."
"What do you mean?"
"You didn't see any?"
"Any what? oh, the sea of cars? yeah we kind of step over those."
"No not cars the" "WALKERS!"
Vince yelled from the Tower again as as the whole park went into a frenzy Abby handed the baby to an old woman who hid the same trailer as before, as Abby, Vince an older man and Polo ran out of the park, and open fire on a group of emancipated humans to the autobots horror, when an odd got growl Vince's attention.
"We got a hopper ack!" Vince was knocked on on his back one of the hoard jump with inhuman force and speed and pin him, the ginger struggled as the things bloody sharp claws tried to claw at him and it bloody maw tried going for his neck but ginger was using his gun to block thing.
when sudden an ax swung and the ""hoppers"' head went flying Vince sighed in relief as a hand reached out to him "Thanks Darby." he said as Jack pulled him up as Miko stood behind him when the Autobot watched still horrified "Why did you do that?!" Ratchet demanded as the kids looked at him funny "good to seeing you too Ratchet." Jack said ignoring the question "You fired on those people why?" the teens snorted "People? open your eyes tin-can those were walkers." Vince sneered walking back into the park to clean himself up.
Before any the Autobots could question the growling got the humans and bots attention they looked down and saw the Hopper's head was still moving much to their morbid amazement, Miko sucked her teeth and calmly walked over to the head and and stabbed it through it's eye finally killing it "Eye for an Eye." she mused before looking up at Bulkhead showing him her scarred face and eye-patch and walking after Vince. but, froze when a gurgling sound came from behind her, the Japanese girl whirled around and frowned.
"Aw, crap the rotted pus-bags got Howard." she said as the body from the older guy laid out on the road with his jugular and half his face chewed off, slowly started to twitch and froth at the mouth.
before slowly standing back up and unnaturally moving as inky brownish blood dripped from his mouth and open wounds. he let out a guttural growl before a sniper shot took Howard out, Miko looked up at the guard tower and waved at a woman who waved back, before the one eyed teen made her way inside the park with the others the Autobot took one last look at the carnage before the gates slide shut.
