Disclaimer- I don't own anything in Transformers sadly.
First Fanfiction so please be nice! :D
Oh and Hotrod is supposed to be one of the main characters but it didn't show him on the thing where you pick the main characters so just pretend it says that he is.
Cade stared at the Autobots he was gonna miss him no matter how many cars they ate or how many times they beat the sparks out of each other. They all stood in silence only to be broken by Prime.
"Goodbye Cade we thank you for everything, but now we must leave to repair our fallen planet" Spoke Optimus in his deep hollow voice clenching the staff.
"Autobots! Roll out!" He shouted before transforming and heading towards their fallen planet, Cybertron . The mighty Quintessa had made Cybertron collide in to Earth and it didn't look like it was moving anytime soon ytime soon so for meantime they remain as one planet. Then the rest of the Autobots transformed and went after him . Bumblebee looked at Cade and Vivian he could tell they were happy they were getting their planet back but he could tell they were still upset that they were leaving, then he transformed and chased after the others . Cade was broke out of his trance by Izabella hugging him, clearly Sqeaks went with the other Autobots because slow tears well down the side of her face. Because Sqeaks couldn't transform he was in Hotrods passenger seat making strange Wabble noise, Hotrod didn't have a clue what they meant. Soon the Autobots were out of view and Cade glanced down at the knights sword that rested in his hands and thought about Tessa, how was he supposed to tell her all of this? Where was he supposed to go?
"All do respect Prime but how is that gonna revive a whole planet" Questioned Crosshairs bitterly,
" I agree with Crosshairs" agreed Drift.
"This staff belonged to who humans call Merlin, the human was gifted it by the first knight and has the power to do many things including bringing back our planet" explained Prime.
" Got it boss" Hound had just randomly came up with calling Optimus Boss and Optimus found it quite annoying because he didn't just wanna be known only as a leader but as a friend to. "Can it get rid of my accent?" Apparently Hotrod has been stuck with a French accent, he says he doesn't like it and he's just stuck with it (somehow) but no one believes him. "Yeah sure" Said Crosshairs sarcastically. "Frag" mumbled Hotrod
"What did you say!?" Shouted Crosshairs revving his engine . "Don't make me brake your finger again!" Shouted Cogman in his fabulous English accent only to earn a growl from Crosshairs ,Cogman was like Sqeaks he can't transform so he was riding in Hound. Throughout this intire thing Bumblebee just kept quiet , one because he's used to being quiet and two because he just wanted to repair Cybertron and not go through the pain of leaving Earth any longer . When Optimus and Bumblebee were fighting, Bumblebee randomly got his voice back but how? He didn't know and doesn't really care he's just happy he can put up a debate when he wants to and can actually speak in general .
5 Hours Later
On Cybertron
" So we just put the staff in here and boom Cybertron back to normal, just its collided with Earth" Oh how wrong was Crosshairs.
"The staffs power is mighty but it will not repair our planet so quickly it will take many months" explained Optimus while noticing his followers shocked faces.
"Great" mumbled Bumblebee but loud enough for everyone to hear and of course he was being sarcastic.
"Bee your voice ayyyy" celebrated Hotrod then turned to Bumblebee who was giving him a death stare to shut up.
" My Sensei where will we stay?" Drift finally broke the ongoing silence which was starting to get really uncomfortable, like everyone else he was also highly annoyed but kept his respect somehow.
"Either we go into hiding or stay with Cade" Optimus didn't want to go into hiding again the last time they did that they lost Ratchet but as a Prime its fair that he lets his followers chose.
" I vote Cade I ain't willing to get hunted down then get my spark ripped out" they all turned to Hound and exchanged reasonable faces then they all agreed they would go to Cade.
Back In The Middle Of Nowhere
Cade and Vivian has been brainstorming ideas on where to go and how to get home or more recognised the junkyard, the only thing they could come up with is the TRF but then they would have to know where Cade, Vivian and Izabella want to go but Cade still doesn't want all of them to know where it is I mean he already knows that a few of them know where it is already because they put a tracker on Bee but he didn't want some more of them to know so they were stuck . Stuck on a massive knight ship, great.
"Need a ride?" Cade snapped around only to see William Lennox there.
"What makes you different to the rest?"Cade still didn't trust any member of the TRF no matter how much they helped kill Quintessa or but they killed Ratchet and Canopy and when they got the chance they would kill another.
"William Lennox" Lennox ignored Cades question and reached out his hand to shake Cades only to be blanked.
"Listen I used to be part or NEST and we had a alliance with the Autobots but it got shut down after the fight in mission City we were all forced to fight them bu-"
"Your saying you want to be friends again?" Vivian interrupted .
"Yes" after that there was a long awkward silence and Lennox really just hoped he could leave the TRF, after watching Ratchet die in front of him. Cade didn't really have a choice Lennox was his only ticket out of here so he reached out his hand.
"Cade" They shook hands in agreement. Izabella looked like a devil child, she stared at Lennox, every TRF was considered a threat to her after her boyfriend (Canopy) was murdered in front of her because of them.
"Got a way to get out of here?" Cade put his hands up in frustration. Lennox only started walking to the helicopter that hid behind him then got in the front seats
"What you waiting in for?" Lennox hurried them to the helicopter. Vivian noticed another member of the TRF in the helicopter-
"Must be another member willing to leave" Vivian thought.
After Cade,Vivian and Izabella were inside, Lennox spoke up
"Where we going?"
"You should know after you tracked us" Snapped Cade
"Ok the junkyard it is"
Back With The Autobots
"Great the fleshlings gone" mumbled Crosshairs.
"What now Boss" asked Hound Lighting his cigarette.
"Hmm We must head to the place Cade would go, do any of you know?" Optimus was not there when the Autobots were in the junkyard with Cade because he was searching for his creator (Quintessa) who turned out to be a backstabber so he never got to ask where the rest of them had been staying in the time being.
"That filthy junkyard" growled Drift , when the Autobots were at the junkyard there was nothing to do except beat the scrap out of each other and destroying cars other than that there's nothing to do at all.
"Then that is where we must go, Drift lead the way"
"Thank you my Sensei" Drift transformed other doing the same then start heading towards the junkyard.
"Wabble wubble wabble wraa" Hotrod just got really frustrated and all the Autobots did was laugh.
"Do any of you understand this mini bot?!" With Hotrods accent sometimes it was hard to understand him to but Sqeaks was just a whole new level.
"Your on your own with that" Though their intire journey that was all Bumblebee said.
"4 hours and we will be there my Sensei" Drift just completely ignored what Hotrod asked for he thought it was childish.
Junkyard
"Home sweet home" Cade,Vivian and Izabella had been planning to steal things like blankets and food and water for that hey had been running out ever since the whole Quintessa creator thing.
"What ever you say" Lennox didn't have a care if this this place was a junkyard, I mean how did they even live in this place it's ... well it's a junkyard.
Lennox grabbed a blackish bag from the helicopter and placed it on the table.
"What's in it?" Vivian's started to think that they wouldn't need to go shoplifting and maybe he just brought food and water and all.
"Weapons"
"We have plenty" Cade pointed out, then patted his gun in that lay in his pocket he did have a gun holder on his back but his pistol was to small for it.Lennox just pulled out a pocket knife and handed it to Izabella, but she just crossed her arms.
"I can take care of myself" she glared at Lennox, he kept the pocket knife held out infront of her and smirked.
"I guess if you don't want revenge for Canopy then-" he was cut off by Izabella snatching the knife from his hands and looked like she was gonna rip his guts out by her facial expression.
Then he pulled out one of the guns that the TRF were using when Cade and bee were fighting them, then he handed it out to Cade.
"Nice upgrade" mumbled Cade throwing his pistol behind him and putting the other gun on his back because it was almost the perfect size.
Lennox scrambled through the bag to find something for Vivian, after a little while he just picked up another TRF gun the same one he gave to Cade. He held it out to her, she took it with one hand and then watched Lennox close his bag up.
Vivian aimed at a scrapped car just to have a little practice then got stopped in her steps just like the others.
"Are we late to the party?" Came a familiar snappy voice of Crosshairs. All the Autobots (except Crosshairs because he was in his robot form) drove around the corner, transforming one after the other and the sound of metal snapping in place was quite faint in the distant but quite obvious. Soon enough all the Autobots were facing Cade and the others.Izabella spotted Squeaks and was over to him in under a second and was hugging him, no one could tell if she was crying because her face was buried him Squeaks. Cade had his hands up like he wanted to say something but was speechless, finally Vivian broke the silence.
"Aren't you supposed to be repairing your planet?"
"Cybertron is like a wound, it will heal but takes time" Drift pointed his sword at the humans just to make sure they were listening but everyone flinched at Drifts wise (strange) comment. But he was also hurt a little at the not happy faces.
"So your just gonna stay here with us?" Even Lennox was a bit confused, I mean the Autobots had just left the staff unguarded while it repairs Cybertron. Optimus noticed the confused glare and knew exactly why they were confused.
"The staff can not be touched by anyone except myself and Vivian in the process" Optimus felt like he just released stress not just from the humans but from the Autobots to. Optimus looked at Lennox and smiled.
"Captain Lennox"
"Yeah" Primes smile fades into a intimidating face only to send shudders down Lennox's back.
"Do you still work for the TRF?" Lennox smiled.
"Never again" Optimus smiled then looked at Cade.
"Stay as long as you like"
"Thank you Cade"
The Autobots all felt like a truck had just been lifted off their shoulders, they now have a place to stay and they were all exhausted constant driving, constant fighting, constant everything. The Autobots has something similar to sleep, they call it recharge they don't do it so often, maybe about once every 2 months but now this was getting ridiculous, it had been months since they recharged and all their bodies and processors were overheating like mad. They were all to exhausted to say anything, they didn't need to say anything but what would the humans think of if they just laid down and their optics turned off like their dead.
They all just stood in silence, an extremely awkward silence that had to be broken.
"That's it I'm going to recharge"Hound spitted out his cigarette and starting walking over to a car with faded red paint job.
"I couldn't agree more" Drift put his samurai sword on his back and followed Hound.
"What? What do you mean recharge?" Cade put up his hands in confusion, he'd been raising his hands a lot to show his emotions.
"I believe it is similar to what you humans call sleep, accept our mechanical organisms overheat if we don't, leading to death" Optimus was the only one bothered enough explain and he was hoping they would understand so he didn't need to repeat himself.
"We've never seen you do it so when was the last time you slep-- recharged" Vivian only met the Autobots when they met Burton but she still was curious.
"The last time we had a proper one was before we all separated to go into hiding" Crosshairs spoke before resting on a broken car with no wheels and putting his hands behind his head.
Eventually all the Autobots were recharging. Hound, Drift and Crosshairs were laying on cars, Optimus was sitting against a scrapped truck, Hotrod was sitting up against the gas station and Bee was the only one awake or online or whatever they call it. He was sitting on the gas station with his legs dangling off the edge just looking around, yes his systems were very overheated but he just wanted to have some time alone and this was the only time to.
"Hey Bee" Said Cade as he climbed on the gas station sit next to Bumblebee. Bumblebee just continued to look around.
"Why aren't you recharging like the others?" Bumblebee just shrugged his shoulders like he didn't care, he's been really careless since he fought Optimus even the humans were starting to notice. Cade didn't know what else to say in this situation, ask what's wrong? Why is he acting so careless? Cade didn't know all he could think of is not to ask him something to tell him something.
"Bee I don't know what your thinking but think about when you wake up" Bumblebee rolled his optics then slung his legs on top of the gas station and laid down pretty much fully accept his arms were holding him up.
"Happy?"
"I can easily give you to TRF or Barricade or something I'm sure they'll take care of you just like they did to Ratchet" He tried to remember what Decepticons were actually left and only came up with Barricade he hoped Megatron was 100% dead and Quintessa and tried not to sound disrespectful on mentioning Ratchet, Bumblebee remembered that scrap metal Decepticon that no matter how many time they fought he never seemed to die, Cade climbed his way off the gas station and walked in to see Lennox teaching Vivian on how to aim and stoot perfectly as Izabella was creating something Cade couldn't see what but he could see it was something mechanical.
"Where've you been?" Asked Izabella looking up from her project, Lennox and Vivian both turned to Cade.
"Things"
Cade placed his gun (Lennox had given him) on the table and started working on it.
"How's the rest?" Vivian questioned Cade.
"Fine" Cade left his gun on the table and grabbed some tools and walked out.
"Where you going?" Lennox just about to managed to ask before Cade walked out only to be responded with a faint answer.
"See if I can make Bee talk abut more" Izabella rushed to grab some of her tools and chased after the unseeable figure.
Bumblebee was laying on top of the gas station in recharge, Cade pulled Izabella up and shuffled over to Bee. Cade hushed her then paced up to Bee's neck.
"How long has it been broken" Izabella always wondered that and how since she first Ed helped Cade with Bees voice.
"Just help me out " Cade knew Bumblebee had his voice back well kinda but he had no clue on how long or how he actually lost it he can tell that it hurts for Bee to use but he also knew it was slowly repairing itself it so he just wanted to see if he could make it go any quicker than what it was, then he and Izabella started working on Bumblebee.
2 Hours Later
"That's the best I can do" Cade explained before putting the tool that rested in his hands in the box.
"He'll be grateful" Izabella noticed the worried expression on Cades face. Izabella stood up and offered her hand to Cade, Cade took it and Izabella pulled him up, then the duo climbed off the station then just dropped their tools and stuff on the rocky, sandy floor.
The time was around about 6:00, Cade, Vivian and Izabella were planning on stealing somethings tomorrow and Lennox, Lennox didn't know what he was going to do he could catch up with the Autobots but yet again that wouldn't be such a good idea I mean what would he say, oh yeah i don't think I told you but I helped kill Ratchet and Sideswipe, what else was he gonna tell them nothing has really happened with Lennox since the battle in Mission City and Quintessa but that didn't involve him much. So he would just do what there was to do.
The Next Morning 8:00
Optimus's optics flickered then came online he looked around to see the other Autobots recharging he also guessed the humans were to. He needed to wake the others up some how so they can be on guard, but he didn't want them to get startled and think their under attack because if they do this whole place is gonna be in flames.
"Autobots come online" He said it through the com link to just to try wake up their systems.
"Autobots!" Drift and Crosshairs jumped up weapons ready, Hound looked like he was really struggling to get up but eventually did, Bumblebee stood up on the gas station then slipped off the edge onto Hotrod who was leaning against it then he made some sounds (that sound a lot like dog whines) then got off.
"Huh?" Hotrod pulled himself up then ran over to Optimus and the others.
"We must be ready in case any threats appear" Optimus noticed everyone was annoyed not because they had been awoken but because they were all sure they were being attacked and really wanted some action, Crosshairs threw his guns down in frustration, Drift shoved his sword on his back, Hotrod didn't really care, Bumblebee turned his plasma cannon back into his hand and Hound threw his grenade behind him almost blowing up Bee.
"What the hell?!" Bee played through the radio as he jumped out of the way.
By the sound of the grenade, Cade and Lennox ran out of the gas station, guns in their hands then when they realised they put them on their back.
"Really?" Cade glared at Hound seeing the frustration in his optics but got knocked out of his thoughts by Vivian and Izabella running up behind them.
"False alarm" Lennox wasn't really annoyed for the Autobots did it all the time when they rarely recharged at NEST. After death staring Hound Cade turned his attention to Optimus.
"Listen" Cade pointed to him, Vivian and Izabella.
"We're going to got steal some junk ok?" Optimus thought they were given even they need after the battle in Hong Kong but guess not, he noded slowly.
Bumblebee and Hotrod they were best friends and partners in crime they fought in World War 2 together, after all they were the youngest of the Autobots (Bee being the youngest Hotrod second) and they were brothers in arms.
Bumblebee and Hotrod both transformed, Hotrod was Vivian's new guardian so Vivian went to Hotrod Izabella following and Cade went to Bumblebee then as he was about to open the handle he looked at Lennox.
"Well what you waiting for?" Lennox ran up to the passenger door and got in, Cade next to him.
They didn't want to go robbing in the city for now that mostly everyone knows about them and still wants to kill them because no matter how many times the Autobots save Earth it only gives them more of a reason to think their going to take the planet for their own and the Decepticons well their Decepticons they despise the Autobots and ever since the war on Cybertron they've been hunting down all of them (usually failing) so they will probably be stalking Earth to find them. Most of the Cemetery Wild people managed to get some sense knocked in them after the incident with Galvatron/Megatron and well about a quarter of them just got angry and filled the gap some of the members of TRF left after Quintessa so Cemetery Wild was no longer a thing to the Autobots pleasure. TRF was still in business though but over the past few days they've been extremely quiet maybe they were finally starting to trust the Autobots or they were looking for Lennox.
So they all decided they were going to rob small places like gas stations and just any place that isn't in a crammed area or near the city. Even though it was early in the morning there were still gonna be people shopping and working and yeah so they didn't want to cause any harm.
While they heading to a building in the distance that looked a lot like another gas station Cade started to realise how much this reminded him of when they went shoplifting in Hong Kong with Shane and Tessa , he really missed Tessa and just a tiny bit of him missed that backstabber Shane.
Several Robbings Later
Bumblebee and Hotrod were full of all sorts like food, drinks, strange gadgets(they had no idea what they were), blankets etc. It was around 8-9 when they left and now it was like 12-1, yeah they spent a long time robbing. As they headed back to the base in silence Cade started wondering about everything that had happened during this last few weeks or so, Optimus found his creator and ended up turning into a servant, Tessa went to college, He got a new home a junkyard, Bee got his voice back, he figured out was the last knight, he got a new girlfriend and now he was sitting next to one of the people that once wanted to murder him and the Autobots. That's it.
"Listen, why are you really here?" Lennox just kept looking forward, eventually answered.
"It doesn't feel right" Cade did a tiny nod in agreement
"What was that Nest thing you were talking about?" Lennox then turned all his attention to Cade
"A while ago there was this military group called NEST and we worked with the Autobots until the whole Sentinel Prime thing"
"Was Bee there?" Suddenly realising that Lennox had been talking about all the Autobots but what ones?
"Bumblebee, Optimus, Ratchet, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Mudflap, Skid uh and a human Sam" Lennox gave up trying to point out all the Autobots and just ended it there, he grabbed a bottle of water from his bag and flipped off the lid and started drinking some then when he realised he mentioned Sam I front of Bee he almost spat all the water out on Cade. He was mentally kicking himself.
Even when NEST was taken down by the government Lennox and Epps still had feelings for the Autobots not in a love way but friends and partners in crime way and watching Ratchet die just made them feel a hell a lot more guilty, and when Ironhide flipped the switch, Lennox wanted to nuke Sentinel into paper shreddings, and when Sam died it was worse because the rest of the Autobots had fled and he couldn't even tell them. Of course he knew Bumblebee would be the most sensitive about it and when Optimus figured it out and commd the rest of them, Bumblebee had to act like he didn't know who Sam was just like Drift and the rest (they didn't come to earth until after TDOTM so they don't know who was Sam) but they separated and Bee went solo so when he felt alone he would look at 2 pictures, the first one was the one that Sam had given him on a event Sam called 'Friends Anniversary' it was picture with Bumbleebee in his normal form and he was sitting on Bees shoulder and on the frame said 'Best Friends' the other was was all the Autobots except Crosshairs, Hound and Drift and Lennox, Epps, Mikeala and Sam. He was definitely a lot braver, tougher, stronger since NEST shut down only because he had to he wasn't a scout no more he was a fighter a warrior and even though he was the youngest he 100% was not the softest...well if anyone mentioned Sam, Tyger Pax or the original Autobots then just maybe he would go a little soft (and angry).
Bumblebee was Sams guardian (and after Sam calmed down about him being a massive robot they became best friends), after the whole revenge of the fallen thing they started to split up, Bumblebee was mostly with the Autobots at NEST and Sam was with Carly at their house and after the Sentinel Prime thing they just drifted apart and after quite a while Sam was... was well dead. Carly, no one really knew where Carly went she just disappeared everyone thought she probably went back to her parents or maybe she died to. Lennox almost felt like crying yeah a military captain crying because no matter what Sam was family. After a while it came clear to Optimus how Sam died, the Cube/AllSpark it had left symbols in Sams head and those symbols were not meant for humans and because he had welded the Matrix and had been in contact with the Primes.
Vivian and Izabella had been talking about just things in general and they seemed to be questioning Hotrod a lot about his accent trying to figure out if he really likes it and what he thinks the rest of the Autobots are doing back at base.
Everyone went silent then to Lennoxs relief they arrived back at the junkyard, Lennox screwed the lid to his bottle back on then through it and his bag out of the window, Cade was abot to speak but was interrupted by Bee opening his door so he could get out. Next to Bee pulled up Hotrod, after all their things were on the on the floor or in their hands they all watched the 2 Autobots transform. They all shared confused faces when they saw the base/junkyard was empty.
"They were bored" Izabella pointed out. Where could of they possibly of gone? All the humans had there stuff on the floor and were just standing still searching the area.
Bumblebee and Hotrod started to panic, why would they just leave without comming them or anything?
Bumblebee reached to his comm.
"Optimus" he sounded urgent and he really wanted to face palm knowing that Lennox was wide eyeing him, obviously because he was using his real voice and Ratchet always told everyone he most likely would never use it again after the Tyger Pax war thing (none of the soldiers knew what the heck was Tyger Pax everyone at first thought it was another Transformer). Everyone turned to Bee and listened for a reply or explanation.
Static just static, Bumblebee was about to turn off his comm before he heard the familiar deep, hollow voice of Optimus.
"Bumblebee, We have found Megatron and he has the the staff" he almost sounded like he was rushing in fact he sounded like he was really rushing.
"Damn it" Lennox wished Megatron was dead.
"Do you know why he wants it?" Cade asked, Vivian also liked that about Cade, his curiosity and desire. There was a robotic sigh on the other side of the comm then he spoke up again.
"Quintessa..."then the comm cut off, Bumblebee lowered his hand then looked at Hotrod. Clearly they were thinking the same thing.
They both transformed, opening their doors as a sign to get in. Cade mumbled something under his breath as he and the others approached the 2 Autobots but it was to quiet to be heard. Vivian speed walked to Cade then getting inside Bumblebee with him. Lennox scooted into the drivers seat he was about to do his seat belt when his heart almost jumped out of his chest, Izabella was already there, seat belt fastened with her arms folded gazing out of the window. He stared at her while clipping his seat belt on.
"You killed the only family I had" she said her voice cracking as if she was holding in tears, Lennox had no clue who she was talking about he'd never recalled killing any humans well innocent ones. Izabella didn't show it but she knew Lennox had not a single clue in the world to who she was talking about because of his confused, thinking face that she noticed out of the corner of her eye still continuesly glazing out the window.
"Canopy" she knew he would never guess him so she might as well of told him.
Lennox was starting to think on how scrapping hard it was to gain all of their trusts. He felt like he'd been hit by a bat and suddenly realised that Hotrod was waiting for their conversation to end
"Izabella forced her sad/angry gaze to Lennox then sniffled she opened her mouth to talk but she was quickly interrupted by Hotrod.
"Sorryz to break it to you but we've gotta go" then they were on the road again heading back to the collided planet, Cybertron. He spotted Bumblebee rolling forward to go infront of them. Then Cade voice came over the transceiver (Walky talky)
"So much for a home".
Wow i actually got a review! Thank you Ailin Amy!
You so nice! :)Anyway for my first chapter ever I'm kinda impressed but next chapter I promise I'll do better, plus I'm gonna EXPLODE, I have 2 AMAZING ideas for this (that are probably actually bad), and is it just me or is writing for Hotrods speech really hard I don't know how to write in a french accent lol.
