MID DAY OIL RIG 10:56AM
It was a normal day for Spike Witwicky, He woke up around 7:30Am to get ready to help his dad for work. Have breakfast with the oil rig crew and put on their safety gear before getting to work.
So here Spike was carrying a crate of supplies when "Yo! Spike need a hand?" a smooth feminine voice made Spike stop and turn to the owner of said voice with a smirk.
"Hey Seraphina, did you sleep well? and yes a little help would be nice" Seraphina smiles as she nods saying "I slept well cousin" she went over and picked up one of the crates before walking back over to Spike.
Seraphina was Spikes 21 year old cousin on his dads side. She had soft brown hair reaching her shoulders in a simple braid with stunning medium yellow sapphire coloured eyes that reminded people of the yellow sapphire gem. Her body was well toned and lean from going to the gym over the years, her chest was a decent C in size, she currently had on the work cloths for the oil rig that being a white shirt with cream coloured jacket and blue work pants with the safety boots and hardhat.
When they put the crates into the storage area near the kitchens they locked the door as Spike said "Thanks Sera" "No problem spiky" she fist bumps with her cousin before saying,
"I'm gonna go help around, I'll see you at lunch break" she walked off with a small wave at her cousin who waved back as his dad called him over.
AN HOUR LATER
Seraphina was busy doing a report on how much oil the rig had gathered this year when she heard yelling. Turning the young woman gasps in shock there were GIANT ROBOTS! On the rig! Dropping her clipboard, Seraphina jumped to the side to avoid a huge pipe that had been thrown by the grey robot.
"Hey! Let go of my dad!" Seraphina looks up from her place on the ground to see her uncle being pinned to the wall by a small purple robot.
When Spike ran foward and hit the bot it had no effect and only got him wacked into the ocean. Growling the woman got up before running over to her uncle.
"Let him go!" Seraphina did a double jumpkick with enough force to make the bot tumble releasing her uncle.
Helping him up the two ran over to where Spike had fallen over before jumping into the ocean below, Seraphina quickly swam over to Spike and helped him get his balance in the water.
"Thanks *cough* Sera" nodding the female worker looked up to see more robots arrive but they looked friendlier then the first ones.
Thats when the oil rig collapsed when the grey robot shot it making oil spill into the ocean, the trio swam back a bit as metal frame work landed on top of them. Along with a fire starting, Sparkplug seeing the danger yelled
"Help! Help! We can't get out!" Spike also yelled "Somebody! Save us!" A red and blue bot swam over to them.
Seraphina yelled "The fire its coming closer!" she watched as the red and blue bot tried to lift the metal trapping them.
"I can't lift it! Too heavy! grab onto me keep your heads above water" Spike and Sparkplug did so while Seraphina held onto Spike.
When the bot had lifted up the metal work halfway he suddenly turned his head yelling "Trailbreaker!" Seraphina looks over to see a mostly black bot with a bit of white on him and visor who was helping people onto a raised metal platform wave yelling back
"Here Prime!" So the bot trying to help them was called Prime?
"Activate your forceshield! And take a shot at that fire!" The bot joined by another flew into the air to take care of the fire.
"Almost have it!"
Seraphina turns her attention back to Prime who had gotten the metal frame up far enough for them to swim out. Spike and Sparkplug climb onto Primes shoulders while Seraphina swam close to his chest. With a big toss Prime threw the metal frame away.
Seraphina gasps when he wrapped his blue hand around her keeping her close to his chest as he caught a grapple hook with his free hand which pulled them up onto a fallen piece of raised platform from the oil rig, once on it safely Spike and Sparkplug jump down while the bot gently set Seraphina down she quickly went to her uncle and cousins side.
Sparkplug spoke first "I don't know who you are, but you saved our lifes" he placed his left hand on his sons shoulder and his right hand on his nieces shoulder a thankful look on his face.
"We're Autobots, from the planet Cybertron. A planet far from earth" Prime told them, Spike was in awe "Another planet? thats awesome!" Sera nods in agreement.
"Those that tryed to harm you are called Decepticons, we must stop them before they destroy your world"
Seraphina takes a step forward asking "Can we help?" Prime crouches down a bit saying "We are the only ones who can stop the Decepticons"
Sparkplug said "But my son, niece and myself know more about earth then you do" Spike nods in agreement while Seraphina crossed her arms with a small smirk.
Prime held his chin saying "Maybe you can help us" he let go of his chin standing up to full hight as he did so.
Seraphina uncrossed her arms saying "Thats good to known I'm Seraphina this is my uncle Sparkplug and cousin Spike"
"I am Optimus Prime leader of the Autobots this is Jazz my second in command" said bot walked over saying "All humans are safe Optimus" the Prime nods saying
"Lets get them home, Autobots move out!" Jazz nods and took to the sky while optimus kneeled down letting the trio climb on once again with Spike and Sparkplug on his shoulders and Seraphina being held by Optimus.
BACK AT THE ARK FEW HOURS LATER
Optimus was watching Teletran ones screens when he saw Seraphina walk into the main command room but she was wearing different clothing now. She had on a short sleeved button-up blouse with pockets on her chest, over that was a light blue denim jacket that stopped just below her chest and above her waist. On her lower half she had dark blue jeans that had a brown belt holding them up, she also had on her feet black combat boots with a small 1 and half inch but thick heel.
The Prime smiles behind his mask as Seraphina ran over to him she asks "Hey Chief how you doing?" she tops at his feet looking up at him.
Kneeling down Optimus spoke "I'm doing fine Seraphina" he lowered his hands letting her climb on.
Standing up Optimus left the main base as Sera asked "So, Optimus I was wondering if you liked swords?"
Optimus nods saying "I do like swords but I also like axes" the two talked about random subjects as the prime arrived in another section of the base where some of the other autobots were relaxing.
By now Seraphina was on Optimus shoulder, she was showing him a katana picture on her phone. Wheeljack who had been watching clicked his fingers before walking over to the chatting bot and human.
"Sorry to interrupt Prime but I want to ask Seraphina something" the inventor asks as he neared them.
Optimus looked at wheeljack wondering what he wanted while also wondering why he felt displeased at being interrupted while talking with Sera.
"Sera I was wondering if you wanted your own blaster?" Wheeljack asks the young female, said females eyes widen asking "You sure thats wise?" she glanced over at Ratchet who was talking to Ironhide.
Optimus chuckles knowing why she asked that. Wheeljack said "Yes, It would give you some protection if you got caught by the Decepticons or if your in a tight spot"
Thinking it over Seraphina nods saying "Sure, Thanks Wheeljack" the inventor nods saying "I'll have it done in no time" he walked off to make a start on the gun.
Seraphina looked at Optimus asking "Now what were we talking about before Wheeljack came over?" Optimus left the second base, walking outside but before he could speak an alarm went off.
Looking over to the entrance of the Ark they saw Soundwave running out, Optimus shouts "A Decepticon! Get him!" Soundwave managed to get away but not Ravage.
After catching the mean cyber panther Sera was trying out her new gun in the shooting range when Spike ran by, "Hey Spike whats wrong?" Sera asks as she ran over to her cousin.
"Theres trouble at Sherman dam, and I bet its the cons" Nodding Seraphina reloaded her gun saying "Well then, lets go get them!" she ran with Spike to the Ark.
Running inside they saw the bots transform, Spike jumped into Bumblebee while Seraphina hopped into Prowl.
AT THE DAM
Upon arriving at the Dam the humans hopped out but Spike got on Hounds back as the mech went to the top of the Dam to find the disturbance and fix it. While Sera was on Jazzs back.
"Autobots to the power plant!" Optimus yelled before the bots to flight to the plant and blasted two of the cons at the entrace before going inside.
Seraphina growls seeing the cons with energon cubes, jumping down from Jazzs back the young woman landed in a tuck roll before running behind a generator and taking out her gun.
Setting it to Sniper mode she began to well snipe down Decepticons at their week points. Thats when she saw Optimus hanging on a ledge that lead to the Dam outside.
"Not on my watch Megadolt" taking aim Seraphina fired.
Megatron who was pressing down on Optimus hand when a blast hit his waist making him stumble backwards, "Who dares!?" he looks to where the blast came from only to see the female fleshbag with a smug smirk on her face.
"You insolent fleshbag!" taking aim at her Megatron went to fire only to be tackled by Optimus outside and onto the Dam.
Nodding Seraphina ran outside to see Spike being held by the neck by Rumble. "Hey!" Rumble turns only to get a combat boot covered round kick to the face.
Spike stood up holding his neck saying "Thanks for the save again" Smirking Sera spoke "You go help Hound, I'm going to help Jazz" Nodding Spike dove into the water as Seraphina ran down to where Jazz was while keeping a look out for cons.
She arrived only to see Optimus climbing out of the river. Running over she asks "You ok Chief?" she put her gun on safe mode before clipping it to her belt and looking up at Prime.
"I'm fine Sera a little wet but fine" He kneels down letting her climb onto his hand before placing her on his shoulder. She sighs saying "I'm glad your safe" she patted his helm before nodding to Jazz in thanks.
"No problem little lady" Jazz liked the young femme she had spunk and showed all bots respect.
UP AT THE DAM
With Sera on his shoulder Optimus stood with his arms crossed when Mirage spoke "Maybe we should repair our ship and go back to Cybertron and forget about the Decepticons"
Optimus spoke "We can't do that Mirage, if Megatron succeeds here He'll be impossible to beat back on Cybertron" He uncrossed his arms as he spoke.
Huffer then said "But were not fighters like they are Prime" Seraphina frowns before saying "Not everyone is born a fighter Huffer, but what we lack in fighting skills we make up for in team work and strong bonds with our friends" Huffer looks up at the human with a hopeful smile now on his face he nods a silant thank you.
Sera nods back as Optimus said "Seraphina is right, we must have courage we can't ignore the danger we must conquer it" with that everyone transforms, Spike went with hound while Seraphina went with Prime.
TWO DAYS LATER
Seraphina humms as she watched Teletran for any Decepticon activity unaware she was being watched. Near by leaning on the wall was Jazz with Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and Prowl.
"You weren't kidding Jazz" Prowl said while looking over at his friend, Jazz grinned as he crossed his arms while looking over at Seraphina.
"I told ya, She would not back down until boss bot agreed to get some rest"
Sideswipe shook his head saying "She acts like a commander at times, Prime sure has got his hands full with her" the four mechs chuckle, Optimus had become Seraphinas guardian since they worked so well together.
Jazz went to say something when Seraphina shouted "Sunstreaker! Sideswipe! Trailbreaker needs help, he's got two cons on his tailpipe!" the twins look over to see the female human typing away on Teletran one.
"We're on our way!" Sideswipe yelled before transforming and driving off with his brother not far behind.
Prowl asks "Did they just?" "Take orders from a human? they sure did" Jazz chuckles at his friends shocked look.
When Trailbreaker, Spike and Sparkplug got back to the Ark they told them of the Decepticons heading to the Burma ruby crystal mine, the Autobots soon followed with Wheeljack having an extra package with him.
BURMA CRYSTAL MINE
Arriving at the base of the mines the bots transform Optimus spoke "There they are" he pointed to the mine entrace where the cons were most likely to be.
"Megatron and the other Decepticons must be inside the mine" Jazz said, Ironhide then spoke up saying "Lets blast their tail rudders outta there!"
Wheeljack took something from his subspace saying "We've got just the trick to do it with to" he then showed a green bomb "Theres enough explosive in here to bury them forever!"
Optimu turned to the inventor holding up his hand saying "Not so fast Wheeljack, we know they're in there but we don't know where" Sparkplug and Seraphina stepped forward.
Sparkplug raised his arm saying "Me and Seraphina will go, we worked in those mines and know our way around" Seraphina nods a determined look in her eyes.
Bumblebee leans down saying "And since I'm the smallest, I have the best chance of getting through. I'll stick that bomb right under their nose gear" he transforms to car mode letting Sparkplug and Seraphina in.
Wheeljack walked over lowering his hand to Sparkplug and pointed to the bomb "Once you set this timer here you've got sixty seconds, remember once its set thats it. No turning back" taking the bomb Sparkplug said "I understand"
Optimus leans down saying "If theres any problem, get outta there we'll find another way"
Seraphina looked over and spoke "There won't be any problem Chief, this ones for Cybertron and Earth. Lets go Bumblebee we got cons to scrap!"
The scout drove up and stopped at the entrace. Getting out Sparkplug stood tense as Seraphina got her gun ready, Bumblebee transforms holding the bomb he spoke "Come on lets go inside" the trio walked in staying on guard as they did so.
Seraphina gripped her gun with both hands as she heard footsteps gasping she spoke "Guys footsteps hide!" she ducked behind a big bolder while bumblebee and Sparkplug hid in the shadows. Just in time as Thundercracker and Skywarp walked by chatting about something.
Once she saw that they were gone she spoke "They are gone but not for long, lets move it guys we don't have much time" nodding the trio went deeper.
They soon arrived at the main area Bumblebee spoke "We found them" Sera growls at seeing Megatron as Sparkplug whispers "We have to do it now!"
Bumblebee seeing an opening ran in and quickly placed it on a metal beam while setting the timer saying "It's done" he ran back over as Seraphina spoke "Lets move it"
They ran back the way they came only to see Thundercracker and Skywarp coming back, "Oh no!" Yelled Sparkplug as he tried to tackle Thundercracker only to be hit into the rocky wall. While bumblebee tackled Skywrap.
Thundercracker went to help Skywrap when he was shot in his wing, growling the con turns only to clutch his right optic as Sera shot at him.
OUTSIDE
Standing outside the mines the Autobots were starting to get worried. Jazz asks "They outta out of there by now" Optimus frowns behind his mask.
"I don't like it" His eyes flashed blue "Somethings wrong" Ironhide spoke "I'll check it out" he went to walk forward only to be stopped by Optimus grabbing his shoulder.
"No, I'll go. I'll use roller hes small enought to get in there without being seen" Optimus walked in front of the group as Wheeljack said "We'll come with ya"
Optimus paused saying "Stay there, if I'm not back in five minutes come get me" with that he transforms and drove up to the mine.
BACK INSIDE THE MINE
Thundercracker was pissed he could not lock onto the female fleshbag who was proving to be a bigger pain then the scout at the moment! Snarling he shouted "Take this fleshbag!" he fired his nullray hitting Seraphina in her left shoulder and right knee making her yelp in pain and hit the ground.
"Sera!" Bee looked over at the sound of the seekers yell to see her get shot only to be back handed to the ground.
Skywarp chuckles saying "Lets give Megatron a little present" Thundercracker laughs saying "Maybe we outta wrap him up and put a little bow on him"
The seekers never saw Seraphina pushing herself up growling she pushed herself so she was sitting down but leaning against the wall between two big bolders. Taking her gun in her right hand since her left arm was incapacitated at the moment she took aim at Skywraps left wing base and fired.
"Ahhhhh!" Sera smirked thinking 'Take that you overgrown trash can' she hissed dropping her gun into her lap as she held her left shoulder in pain.
OUTSIDE THE MINE ENTRACE
Optimus arrived at the mine entrace stopping just before it saying "It's up to you roller, find out whats going on in there" the back of his trailer opened up letting a little drone out who beeped as it came out. "And be carful!"
The little drone drove inside the mine unaware that the bomb was about to blow.
*BANG! RUMBLE*
Inside the cons stumble as the ground shook from the bomb explosion, while in the tunnel Bumblebee covered Sparkplug up with his body as Seraphina pressed herself between the two bolders that mostly shielded her from the fire but her clothing got burnt in a few places as rocks rained down on them.
The flames then rocketed out of the entrace hitting Optimus blasting him off the edge yelling "Roller!" fearing for not only his drone but for his scout and human friends inside. He rolled down the side of the mine and to the ground below.
"PRIME!" Jazz yelled as he saw his commander fall down the mountain. When the Prime came to a stop on his side his men landed around him.
"Prime you alright?" Jazz asks while Prowl looked his leader over before saying "Looks bad Jazz" nodding the SIC turned to the medic saying "Ratchet see where repairs are needed"
The medic nods saying "Lets get him up on his wheels" with that Jazz, Mirage, Prowl and Ratchet worked together to get Prime back on his wheels.
When they did Ratchet asks "Prime, can you hear me?" he got a pained groan in response.
Jazz made a comment at the back when Prime asks "Roller what...What happened to him?" Prowl went to speak when Roller came barrling down from the mine beeping as he did so right back into Prime trailer.
Jazz chuckles saying "Down but not out, Rollers one tough little Autobot"
Ratchet asks "Prime can you transform?" he steps back giving his leader some space.
"I...I'll try...I don't ugh if I...can do..it augh! I've almost got it!" with that Optimus began to slowly but painful transform with some encouragement from the mini-bots.
"Augh there!" with a final push he was back in his bipedal form.
Jazz walks over saying "Welcome back to the land of moving parts" Optimus nods when Ratchet spoke "That was some blast you took" 'The blast thats right!' That reminded Optimus of his friends inside the mine.
"The blast! Bumblebee, Sparkplug and Seraphina they're still inside" He spoke with much worry in his voice. They ran up the collapsed mine to the rubble.
Prowl asks "How will we ever find them under all that rock?" Ironhide held up his arm making a drill come out of his arm saying "Only one way, stand back"
Ironhide then began to drill into the rubble, Optimus orders "Start digging!" everyone soon got to work moving rocks and moving rubble to find there friends.
After 5 minutes Jazz yelled "I found Bumblebee and Sparkplug! Over here!" He and Prowl pulled the bot and male human out Sparkplug spoke "Jazz, I thought we'd had it" he was set on the ground as Bumblebee spoke "We have to find Seraphina! She got shot by Thundercrackers nullray!"
Optimus felt his spark clench painfully he was about to ask where by she had landed to dig her out when "I got Sera! But shes not looking too good!" Optimus turns running over he saw Ironhide gently pick an out cold Seraphina up from the rubble, her clothing burnt in random places with a few rips. Her clothing around her left shoulder and right knee were burnt off the skin under it was an angry red.
She was also messy and her hair was a mess having come undone during the blast. Ratchet came over running scans as he did so, Ironhide passed Seraphina over to Optimus who held her close to his chest almost like a baby in a way as Ratchet tended to her blast wounds.
Seraphina groans before opening her eyes blinking a few times at the change of light she looked around seeing herself out in the fresh air and open space she asks
"Did we do it?" she looked up at Optimus who nods looking at his men he spoke "Thanks to you three the Decepticons are finished"
Bumblebee spoke up "We were almost finished to" Sparkplug nods chuckling he said "Wheeljack wasn't kidding when he said it would blow in sixty seconds"
Wheeljack held up his arm saying "59.99 to be exact" Sera chuckles shaking her head but winced as she felt her shoulder sting.
Optimus then said "With the Decepticons buried under all that rock, we can resume our search for the resources we need"
Mirage asks with a hopeful smile on his face "And we can return to Cybertron?" Optimus turns to him saying "Very soon Mirage very soon"
Thats when the top of the mountain exploded sending rocks flying. Optimus covered Seraphina with his body as the other bots covered themselfs while Prowl covered Spike and Sparkplug.
Seraphina pants as she felt herself close to passing out from both stress and exhaustion she held her left arm as she barely saw Ironhide take off after the cons and Bluestreak following him before succumbing to darkness.
DAY LATER BACK AT THE ARK
Seraphina wasn't sure how long she was unconscious but it felt like days to her, thats when she felt it a nice warmth that made her open her eyes only to see herself in the medical bay of the Ark with her uncle, cousin and Optimus sitting near by.
Grunting she tried to sit up only to let out a pain filled growl of annoyance. This in turn woke up the sleeping humans/mech.
Spike upon seeing his cousin awake yelled "Your awake!" he ran over to her side as Optimus came fully online with a small yawn.
Sparkplug walked over as Optimus now fully awake looks over at his female friend asking "How are you feeling Seraphina?"
"I've had better days I'll say that much" she chuckles with Spikes help as she sat up before asking "What happened? and how long was I out?"
Sparkplug answered "You where out for two and half days, you made the Ark crew worried"
Sera nods looking at Optimus she asks "What happened to the Decepticons?" Optimus told her of the cons trying to return to Cybertron only to be sent into the ocean by Mirage.
"I missed all that? geez why do I miss all the fun?" Spike laughs at his cousins statement. Glad that she was Ok.
Optimus stood watching as the trio talked catching Seraphina up on what she had missed. He smiled behind his mask when his optics caught her eyes making Sera smirk at him before looking back at her cousin. The Prime looked over at Teletran one before looking back at the humans he had duties to attended to.
"Ahhh! Spike stop tickling me!" But those duties could wait a while longer for now Optimus wanted to enjoy his time with his human friends.
Optimus was unaware of the future that would be instore for him or Seraphina and her friends.
And DONE! finaly!
My fingers are so sore from typing this up.
It has taken me two days to do this and I'm proud of it.
Also the main paring is Optimus X Seraphina, I'll be revealing the rest in the next chapter. SO for now this is Saberbladeprime signing out!
