Hi, I felt like writing this up so enjoy...Or not.
Chapter 1
The Start of Something Different.
Erin was tired and annoyed, she didn't want to move to America but her mother insisted and she wanted to start fresh since the death of her father after he was involved in a car accident three months ago. She was happy where she was, she was starting to make friends and was settling down, they had moved to another county after her father's death and Erin thought she could finally settle down. Her mother dropped this bombshell of moving to America at two weeks when they were suppose to leave.
Erin was not pleased to say the least.
So here she was, sitting in the car with the truck taking their belongings in front. Her mother drove her to their new location and home. Erin sat there with a bored expression on her face. They had arrived at the airport and was now driving to their new home
"Cheer up Erin!" Her mother said cheerfully.
"Mum I didn't want to move! I was starting to settle down and make new friends! How can I cheer up!" Erin snapped. "Not only that you moved me away from Britain and all the way to bloody America!"
"Erin!" Her mother said sternly.
"But it's true!" Erin shot back.
Her mother sighed. "You'll like it trust me."
Erin said nothing and continued to look out the window as she had a expression of boredom and anger, angry that her mother announced it and told her they were leaving and had only two weeks to pack. It wasn't fair. Erin felt her mother was being selfish, she didn't talk to Erin about the move, didn't ask how she felt about moving, nope! Simply announced it, forcing Erin to pack her stuff and leave England. That gotten Erin annoyed by her mother.
Exhausted of all the travelling. Erin fell into a sleep.
"Erin, wake up dear."
Erin let out a grunt as she sat up and clutched her head as she looked around. Erin frowned to see she was still in America, nothing had changed at all for her as she sighed in frustration.
"Come on Erin!"
Erin grumbled as she stepped out from the car and closed it behind her as she adjusted her black tank top strap and tidied her denim jacket and dusted her jeans off as she checked her red converse shoes just in case the lace came undone, so far it hadn't. Erin huffed and ran her fingers through her dark brown hair as baby blue eyes scanned the area.
"Isn't it nice Erin." Her mother sighed.
"Yeah, bloody fantastic." Erin grumbled.
Erin's mother didn't notice her daughter grumbling as she walked up to the house as the delivery men were awaiting orders. Erin sighed and looked around, she groaned in defeat and followed her mother towards the house.
"Isn't this home nice?" Her mother asked.
Erin stepped inside and looked around as she then frowned at her new surroundings, it was bigger than her previous home, not that she'll admit it out loud. Erin mumbled and turned to go back outside as she looked to the sky, she sighed and made a circular motion on her forehead, out of the corner of her eye she did see a boy around her age. Erin ignored that and looked around.
"This is stupid." Erin mumbled.
She sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"Uh...Excuse me."
Erin paused and turned to face the same teenager.
'Keep calm Erin, it's not this guy's fault you moved, it's your mothers, don't take your anger out on the poor guy.' Erin thought.
"Can I help you?" She asked.
"Y-You're not from America at all?"
Erin shook her head. "I'm British, moved all the way from Britain."
"That...Must off been a long journey."
"Trust me, it was."
"I'm sorry! Name's Jack, Jack Darby." He introduced.
"Erin, Erin Parker."
"Jack, where- Oh!"
Erin said nothing as she was approached by what she assumed is his mother.
"You must be our new neighbour."
Erin said nothing but simply gave a small nod. "Um...Yes."
"Your accent is so cute." She cooed.
Erin blushed as Jack groaned.
"Mom! You're embarrassing her."
"Oh Jack, you better run along, or you'll be late for work."
He simply sighed and walked off towards his home as Erin's mother stepped from the house and outside. Erin shook her head and turned her phone on.
"Going for a walk." Erin mumbled to her mother.
She left before her mother could even get the chance to say anything to her. Erin groaned and continued her walk as she then hugged herself, mumbling at the same time as she ran her fingers through her hair and then let out a small yawn.
"Great." Erin mumbled. "I'm gonna get jet lag for a while."
Erin continued her stroll as she hugged herself and then looked around. Erin sighed and tucked some hair behind her ear. Laughter got her attention as Erin paused, she narrowed her eyes.
"Leave me alone Vince." A voice said fearfully.
Erin looked over to the source of the voice and narrowed her eyes as these three grown teenager as Erin walked over to the group. She could see a boy with glasses on his face getting ganged up on.
"You owe me shorty." Vince sneered.
"B-But I don't have anything." Raf stated fearfully.
"Hey! Pick on someone your own size you bloody git!" Erin growled.
Vince and his goons turned to face a peeved Erin as she was glaring at him and hands on her hips.
"Whoa! Hello, never seen you before and I take it you're not from America due to your accent."
"Well aren't you bloody smart!" Erin hissed.
"Whoa! Calm down doll." Vince told her.
"Don't call me doll." Erin snarled.
She soon cracked her knuckles. "Get lost and I may leave you unscathed and I will do it!"
She watched as he paled and fled with his goons. Erin sneered and walked over to Raf as she helped him to his feet.
"You ok?" Erin asked.
"Yeah, thanks."
"Adorable." Erin mumbled quietly.
Erin sighed and rubbed her forehead. "See you and be careful."
"I will." Raf assured her.
Erin gave a nod and left after the two introduced to each other and exchanged numbers.
Erin huffed as she looked around, she was lost that was obvious. She looked around and then frowned as she looked up and down the road as she crossed it and onto the other side. Erin's phone rang as she answered it.
"Hello?" Erin mumbled as she appeared in a car park.
"Darling I will be back next month." Her mother said.
"Wha? Mum we just got here and you're thinking about your work already!" Erin protested as she unknowingly leaned against a blue motorcycle.
"I'm sorry Erin. But it had to be done, I'll call you when I'm on my way home."
"B-But mum."
"I'm sorry Erin, the key is under, look under."
Erin groaned as her mother hung up. Erin peeked to see what she was leaning on and immediately moved away from the motorcycle.
"Gah!" Erin yelped as she patted her chest.
"Erin?"
Her fear disappeared and turned into disbelief.
"Arcee?" She whispered.
"What are you doing here kid?"
"I live here." Erin mumbled. "...Now."
"You moved all the way from Britain?" Arcee asked in disbelief.
"Sadly, mother burst my bubble and told me...Two weeks before we're meant to leave."
"How long?"
"Huh?"
"How long ago was it when we first met?"
Erin smiled. "Six years ago."
"Act normal and pretend you didn't see me, if the Decepticons saw you talking to me they will use that to their advantage."
Erin moved away and looked around as if she never spotted the femme in the first place. Erin looked over to see Jack emerging
"Hey mom." He greeted on his phone. "I just got off. No, I'm not going to the dance. Experience suggests I should never cut a rug. Unless I'm installing carpet. Be careful; seriously? This is Jasper."
She watched as Jack's gaze went to Arcee as Erin frowned ever so slightly.
"I love you." Jack had said. "Uh, yeah. I love you too mom. Gotta run."
Jack finished with his conversation and walked over to the motorcycle. "Hello Beautiful."
"Where have you been all my life?" Jack asked as he ran his hand over the seat.
"The bike is nice and all, but it might not be yours." Erin pointed out.
Jack ignored her completely and sat on the motorcycle. "It may take a few KO paychecks, but I am going to own a ride like you someday."
"Are you talking to your motorcycle?" Sierra asked as her friends giggled.
"Uh, my motorcycle? No! I mean, yes, it's mine. But I'm not talking to... well to you, I am. How's things, Sierra?" Jack stuttered.
"Take you for a spin sometime?" He then asked calmly.
"Come on smooth operator. Wrap it up." Arcee said to herself as Erin spotted the two Decepticons.
"You know my name?" Sierra asked in surprise.
"We're in homeroom together." Jack responded to her. "I'm Jack. Jack Darby."
Engines revved loudly as all looked to see what the commotion was all about. Erin hissed and moved more closer to Arcee.
"Scrap!" Arcee cursed as Erin growled.
The two Vehicons came towards them. Sierra and her friends squealed in fright and ran off before the cars could even hit them. Arcee popped into a wheelie as Jack barely hung on.
"Whoa!" Jack yelped.
"Erin get on!" Arcee ordered.
"You don't have to tell me twice." Erin said as she got on and then they left.
"Don't let go." She told the two.
"Who said that?" Jack asked fearfully.
The two cons tried to trap Arcee but she braked and the two Decepticons bumped into each other and she managed to get away.
"Commander Starscream: target sighted, accompanied by two human youths." One Vehicon reported in.
"Destroy them all!" Starscream commanded.
Arcee pulled into an alleyway as Jack got off as Erin remained where she was, she was a bit shaken but unharmed as Erin remained where she was.
"What are you?" Jack asked in fear.
"I don't exist. Tell anyone about me and I will hunt you down." Arcee threatened.
Jack ran off as Erin let out a small yawn.
"Nice threat." Erin mumbled.
"Are you tired?"
"Are you serious! I travelled eight hours on a flight and then spent god knows how many more hours just to get here! And I haven't had a chance to see the new house properly yet! Oh! And a con followed Jack by the way."
"Scrap!"
Erin grabbed the handles as Arcee went to chase down the con.
"Hop on!" She told Jack.
Erin moved to the back as Jack got on and the three left and onto the highway. The Vehicons chasing them drew their guns out and began to fire at the three. Erin growled. Arcee dodged them as the two ducked their heads.
"Why are those guys shooting at us?" Jack asked in a panic.
"There's no us kid." Arcee told him flatly. "And they're no guys."
"We bloody know they're bad." Erin said as she ducked once more.
Erin spotted a yellow and black vehicle. Bumblebee join in on the chaos and rammed the two Vehicons and caused them to spin.
"A friend of yours Arcee?" Erin asked.
"Family." Arcee answered.
Bumblebee got pushed into the railing and Erin didn't bother to hide her cringe.
Raf was playing with his toy car under the bridge, not aware of the chaos on the highway as his phone began to go off and he answered it.
"Hi momma." He said. "Racing. Right up the street. 'Kay, just five more minutes?"
Raf continued to play with his toy car.
Arcee spotted a roadblock as Erin looked over, her baby blue eyes widening as Jack gulped while Erin held on for dear life.
"This is insane." Erin mumbled.
If Arcee wasn't in her alt form she would of smirked at Erin. The femme did the jump over the railing and landed down below. Erin tightened her grip as she turned pale.
"Whoa."
"You have no idea." Jack breathed as he and Erin got off Arcee.
"Erin!" Raf said.
"Sup Raf and no I'm not alright, my legs feel like jelly." Erin replied back to him.
Raf ran up to them as Arcee transformed. The Decepticons were not to far behind and then they appeared and drove down the embankment.
"This ends here cons!" Arcee hissed as she charged at them.
Arcee dodged the blast, she kicked one in the chest, knocking it down and then kicked the other Vehicon in the face.
"This. Is. For. Cliff."
'Who's Cliff?' Erin thought.
"What are they?" Raf asked.
"Talking cars that turns into robots, or the other way round." Jack answered.
Erin flinched and then gasped as Arcee went flying backwards and slid across the concrete and looked to be unconscious. Bumblebee appeared and transformed as he punched the con on the face, the yellow bot took a step back and a crunch was as Bumblebee lifted his foot and saw he had stood on Raf's toy car.
"Oops, sorry." Bumblebee said.
"No problem, really." Raf told him.
"I take it you understood him?" Erin asked.
"Yeah I did, why? Did you understand him?" Raf asked.
"Yes I did." Erin nodded.
A Vehicon shot Bumblebee as the yellow mech went flying through the air and landed, the yellow mech was about to get up but one held him down. The two Decepticons charged up their weapons, ready to fire.
"Leave him alone!" Raf shouted at them.
The Decepticons aimed their guns as Raf gulped.
"Please." He then whispered.
"Poppet that wasn't the best thing to do." Erin said
"Bad call." Jack joined in.
"Quick! Over there!" Erin said as she looked to the drainage.
The three fled as the Vehicon chased the three and followed them. Erin barely missed the swipe of the servo. The con was quickly gone and there was the sound of punching. Bumblebee appeared in his place and looked at them.
"I wouldn't stay here." Bumblebee told them.
"Thanks." Raf said.
The mech gave a nod and then left as Erin sighed and wiped her forehead.
"What did we see?" Raf asked quietly.
"Not sure, and I'm not sure I wanna to find out." Jack answered.
Erin sighed.
"Erin, do you know your way back home?" Jack asked as the three left.
Erin blushed and shook her head.
"Home?" Rad questioned.
"She's my neighbour, just moved here today." Jack explained.
Arcee and Bumblebee continued to battle the two Decepticons. The sound of a horn got their attention as they looked to see it was Bulkhead, the green mech transformed and pounded his fists together.
"Who's ready to rumble?" He asked.
Not liking they were outnumbered, the two Vehicons transformed and drove off.
"What took you?" Arcee asked the green mech.
"Traffic." Bulkhead deadpanned.
"Arcee, who was that girl? The one with the strange accent?" Bumblebee asked.
"I met her before, and her accent is British." Arcee answered.
"...And the cons would've been scrap if I wasn't distracted by a human." Arcee finished explaining.
"Human?" Optimus asked in surprise.
Bumblebee beeped and held up three fingers.
"Two boys and a girl." Optimus muttered.
"I guess the third one caught us in action, I don't know, was busy at the time." Arcee said defensively.
"If the Decepticons are targeting us, anyone perceived as our ally will be at grave risk." Optimus commented.
"The girl is not from here." Arcee told them.
"She's not?" Bulkhead asked.
"No."
"Well where is she from then?"
"Britain."
"She came all the way from there!?"
"Yeah, and her mother already left her to fend for herself for a month."
"How is she to know where everything is? She just got here!"
Arcee simply shrugged.
Erin sighed as she walked towards the tree as she spotted Raf, she didn't sleep good last night due to it was very warm than Britain and jet lag. Raf spotted her and waved to her as Erin walked over. Jack walked over and joined the two.
"Guys. Hey, look, let's just keep this between us and forget anything ever happened okay?" Jack told them.
"Jack." Raf said with excitement as Bumblebee pulled up next to them.
"Not again." Jack groaned.
"Can you both get in." Bumblebee requested.
"He want us to get in?" Jack asked in surprise.
"No, just me and Erin" Raf answered him.
"How do you know that?" Jack asked Raf.
"He told us." Erin told him.
"What?" Jack asked dumbfounded.
"Your ride is over there." Raf told him, pointing at Arcee who was innocently parked not far from them.
"Look, I really don't think that-" Jack began as Raf got into the vehicle along with Erin.
"How's it going." Raf greeted as he got into the passenger seat and Erin in the driver side.
"Guys!" Jack said alarmed.
Erin waved as they left from the tree.
"What's your name?" Erin asked.
They were currently in the desert and on their way to their destination.
"Bumblebee." The yellow mech answered.
"Fitting." Erin mumbled as Raf looked at her in amusement.
Raf clung onto Erin as they headed towards the cliff as Erin swallowed. She blinked as the cliff side opened up, both her and Raf looked on in awe. They went from the desert and onto metal road.
"Whoa." Raf breathed as Erin looked around.
They arrived in what appears to be the main room as Raf and Erin climbed out the vehicle to allow Bumblebee to transform.
"I thought there was three?" Ratchet commented in surprise.
"Haven't you heard? Humans multiply." Arcee told him as she moved away.
"I'm Raf." Raf introduced himself.
"And I'm Miko."
Erin paused and turned to face the girl as she ran up to Bulkhead.
"Who are you?" She asked Bulkhead.
"Bulkhead." The green mech answered in a surprise.
Miko gasped. "Are you a car? I bet your a truck! A monster truck! Do you like heavy metal? How much do you weigh? Ever use a wrecking ball as a punching bag?"
Erin crossed her arms but said nothing at all.
"So if you guys are robots, who made you?" Raf asked innocently.
"Ugh, puh-leez." Ratchet scoffed.
Erin placed her hands on Raf's shoulders.
"Watch it, bloody grumpy git." Erin hissed.
Ratchet glared at her as Erin scoffed and gave her own glare, not fazed by him at all.
Erin paused as she heard footsteps and then looked around. She froze on the spot for a few seconds.
"We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron, also known as Autobots."Optimus explained.
"Why are you here?" Jack asked.
"To protect your planet from the Decepticons." Optimus explained.
"The jokers who tried to bump us off last night." Arcee clarified.
"Alright then, but why are they here?" Erin asked.
"A fair question Erin." Optimus began as he got down on one knee to have a good look at her and the other humans. "In part, they are here because our planet is uninhabitable. Ravaged by centuries of civil war."
'Arcee must of told him my name.' Erin thought.
"Why were you fighting a war?" Raf asked.
"Foremost, over control of our world's supply of energon. The fuel and life blood of all Autobots and Decepticons alike. The combat was fierce, and endured for centuries. In the beginning, I fought along one whom I consider a brother. But in war, ideals can be corrupted. And thus that Megatron lost his way." Optimus explained.
"Is there gonna be a quiz?" Miko yawned.
"Yeah, a quiz on flick to the forehead." Erin said sarcastically.
"Not funny." Miko growled.
"So what does Megatron, or any of this, have to do with us?" Jack asked.
"Megatron has not been or heard from in some time. But if his return is eminent, as I fear, it could be catastrophic." Optimus told them grimly.
Erin frowned as she hugged herself, closing her eyes while she was at it.
Meanwhile with the Decepticons. Soundwave, the Decepticons communication specialist walked up to Starscream, second in command as his facemask was pinging, showing a set of coordinates in space and an incoming transmission.
"Those transmissions are emanating from deep space." Starscream said surprise but he then frowned. "I would hate to waste the Energon. Unless, you are absolutely certain."
Soundwave simply nodded. Starscream's frown turned into a scowl.
"Then, lock on coordinates, and activate the space bridge!" Starscream ordered.
The Vehicon scrambled and typed in the coordinates given.
High above the Earth, in the atmosphere of space. The space bridge opened and a large, silver jet flew through the space bridge, the bridge closed and the jet transformed.
"Decepticons! I have returned!" Megatron announced.
Erin opened her eyes as her eyes scanned the area, she felt something wasn't right, something went wrong. Optimus must had felt it as he and Erin's vision locked onto each other. Erin broke it and looked around, mumbling as she did so. Erin allowed a small yawn out seeing she only managed to get two hours of sleep.
And I'm done.
Arcee knows Erin how? Will be revealed next chapter.
Review please, thank you.
