Me and my sister wrote this story together. It is our first fanfic so please be nice. We do NOT own the transformers or the series, but we do own one character. 10 points and a cookie to those who can guess who. -50 for those who can't and no cookie for you. and for those of you who can't, we pity you fools. A new face:
What seems like a bit of space debris floats by Earth. It is on a crash course with the tiny blue planet, ensnared by it's overwhelming gravity. In a spectacular spray of rock and metal it lands. A figure steps out, the newest Cybertronian on Earth transformed and drove away to scan a different form from this new planet.
Thousands of miles away, in the city of Detroit. Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Bumblebee, Prowl, and Bulkhead awoke from their recharges to an alarm. A rather loud alarm. The startled bots ran to their very large computer screen, they were alarmed to find that there was a new metal on the planet. Its composition was nothing found on earth or even in this solar system. There was only one place that you could find it. Cybertron. When the bots saw this they were excited, their ship was damaged and in need of extensive repairs.
Optimus Prime looked towards his men after scanning the information from Teletran 1. "Bumblebee, I need you and Prowl to go to this small island nation and retrieve as much Cybertronian metal as you can and bring it back here." Prowl and Bumblebee looked at each other, not looking forward to this mission. "But..." Bumblebee started to protest but was cut off by Ratchet "Just do as your told kid, The faster you get there the faster you get back and be done with this mission" he said rather irritated. Bumblebee just shut his mouth, He didn't like it when he's interrupted mid complaint but he knew Ratchet was right, He also didn't want to get hit upside his head for mouthing back at the grouchy medic.... Again.
It took five days (involving a road trip and a boat ride half way round the world in much too small crates, tons of patience, and a LOT of whining on Bumblebee's part), but at last the two irritated bots reached their destination. At the crash site they discovered what they scanned. "That's all it was" yelled a very pissed off Bumblebee "A stupid Star Jumper!?" "It appears so" said prowl in his monotoned voice. As they approached the tiny ship, they heard a large explosion from the engines and out of the dust cloud came a large figure. When the dust settled the two bots saw it was another mech like them. He was completely black all over, the two autobots weren't able to tell if that was his normal colors or because of the explosion. He looked just half a head taller than Bumblebee and had what appeared to be a space helmet on so his features were hidden. And when the mech saw the onlookers he stopped. Prowl stepped forward cautiously trying to see if this new mech was a friend or another decepticon, offering his hand in friendship so he wouldn't scare him away if he was friendly "Hello, My name is..." but the newcomer didn't let him finish, he bolted away from them faster then Bumblebee when he is threatened with educational TV. "Well that's gratitude for you!" commented the little yellow mech, sarcasm dripping from his voice. Unable to complete their mission they called Optimus to let him know that they were on their way home.
Another LONG trip and they were telling every one about what they saw. "So, you say you saw another Autobot?" Asked Optimus, "Not exactly, We weren't able to tell if he was friendly or not." Prowl began, "Yah! He ran off before we could find anything about him." Bumblebee finished for him. "Sounds like someone is hiding something" a very interested Sari stated. Optimus considered her words for a minute. From what Prowl and Bumblebee said, he knew he needed to get over there soon. "Alright, I've decided that we still need to get to that ship." He stated to other autobots. "Wonderful." a very glum Bumblebee mumbled "When do we leave."
"I think it would be best if only one of us goes." said Optimus, answering the youngest autobots question. All the others wore slightly confused expressions. "And by us I mean me."
A week later, in Japan, Optimus was driving through the country side enjoying the scenery and lost in his thoughts. He hadn't stopped thinking of the strange mech and hoping the mech was who he thought it was. He was so engrossed in his own little world that he failed to notice a little yellow car and black motorcycle following him. "Where do you think he's going?" the yellow car asked. "Do you really need to ask?" The motorcycle retorted back in a monotoned voice. Bumblebee fumed, he did know were they were heading but it was in his nature to ask questions. "I still don't see why we still need to follow bigbot, especially since we're already in Japan. Its not like he could send us back to the base." Bumblebee stated not liking the sound of silence. Prowl seemed to stiffen, if that was even possible since the ninja bot was always stiff. "I'm not sure about you but I don't want to be on the receiving end of one of his speeches." Prowl answered remembering how Optimus when the crew were unruly and disobedient. "My audios still aren't the same." Bumblebee shuddered at the thought of it. Even though he wasn't the one being lectured at he still was afraid of Optimus when he got that look in his optics meaning an incoming talking to.
At the crash site, the fire truck had stopped a few feet from the space ship. Transforming to his bot mode he called out "hello? I know your there." Optimus stepped into the ship. At the edge of the near by thicket of trees, the new mech hid behind a large tree observing the strange bot. He seemed so familiar to the mech but the memory danced just out of reach, he still had a few scrambled circuits from the crash but they were repairing themselves fairly quick. Optimus stepped back out of the ship into the middle of the field. He scanned the area trying to find an energy signature. He turned to the area were the mech was hiding. Then the mech saw it. He did indeed know this bot in front of him. In a burst of happiness he was about to rush forward and reveal himself to Optimus but suddenly stopped. He saw two vehicles approaching.
Optimus turned around to see Bumblebee and Prowl coming toward him. He sighed heavily and waited for them to reach him and transform. Both little bots looked at each other then at there leader who looked like he was about to rip them both new tail pipes. "Optimus, Sir, we thought you would need backup." they both chimed knowing that was the most pathetic excuse that they could give and that Optimus knew it. He looked at them both and sighed one more time. "We'll discuses this later when we return to base. Both little bots looked slightly relieved but still nervous about talking to Optimus about their disobedience later.
The three of them scattered around the ship trying to scan for the mech again. During all this, the mech was arguing with himself . He wanted to go over to Optimus but was afraid of those other two. But Optimus seemed to know them, But then again, he vowed never to be too trusting. Finally, he was about to simply throw himself out there, when suddenly, everything exploded. Everybody looked up to see a strange purple and red jet bot hovering overhead. Starscream was firing on the Autobots below as they took cover inside the ship and returned fire. Even though it was three against one Starscream was a trained warrior and the Autobots were simple repair bots. Optimus did have some combat training from the Autobot Academy but it still didn't compare to Starscream's skills. Starscream fired at the ships engines setting them on fire trying to force the Autobots out into the open.
Optimus, seeing that the engines had caught on fire grabbed both of his soldiers and half dragged half carried them out before the rest of the ship caught on fire or worse. Before Bee or Prowl knew it they were both out side watching the ship be engulfed in flames, Starscream taking aim at them and firing. Optimus pushed both bots to the ground and used he ax to deflect the laser shot. There was no more cover close for them to get to and the forest was just to far to run to without fear of Starscream shooting at them, so Optimus tried his best to shield his men, but he knew it wouldn't be long before Starscream got in a lucky shot and took him out. After a few more blasts Optimus was on one knee taking in a lot of air to cool his overheated circuitry. Both Prowl and Bee were behind him firing at the Decepticon but were failing miserably. Starscream smirked knowing that one more blast would destroy the young Autobot leader. As he fired everything seemed to go in slow motion, the Autobots saw the laser coming and knew they needed to get away but before any of them could move there was a black streak and the strange mech threw himself in front of the Autobots and took the full force of the blast and was sent flying a few feet back from them, laying on the ground not moving.
To be continued..... More to come.
