Man i love reviews. If you submitted one on the last chapter i heart you.
"WHAT!?" Simultaneously emitted from the vocal processors of all the Autobots, Bee being the loudest.
"E-excuse me?" Sam said, raising an eye brow
The bot hesitated before replying "Thank you, for saving me. Master" Came a deep voice
Sam blinked, then his eyes traveled all over the unknown creature. It had four blood red eyes that all stared down on him. It's face armor was terrifying. Sam shuddered, the image of Megatron bellowing at him ran through his mind. It had two sets of teeth, the first pair molded in with the face armor. They were silver. The ones located in the mouth were green, matching is whole armor color. It had jagged points going down it's back that resembled a human spine which joined to the armor and on it's head and front was.. a mountain dew logo?! Sam stifled a smirk, the bot just cocked it's head to one side. Now that he thought about it, he saw that it had a large logo imprinted on either side of the shoulder armor and two smaller logo's on the chest plates. He continued to examine the being. It had four arms. Yes four arms, it's three fingered claws seemed to twitch impatiently. It was bent over from the weight on it's torso and was supported by two large feet.
Bumblebee was nervous about that the scary looking creature that was sizing up Sam. It may have been small, but hell it was intimidating. He became even more nervous when Sam slowly reached up and touched the bots face.
Sam had noticed something wrong with the logo on the bots head. It seemed to be concealing dents that were still slightly visible under the logo. As he had reached up, the bot automatically bent down further so that his 'master' could reach. Sam ran one hand over the Mountain dew logo and confirmed his suspicions when he felts something bumpy underneath it. He looked down into the bots eyes briefly before returning his gaze to it's head. Bringing his fingers to the top of the logo, he dug his nails under it and pulled it off in one go.
He gasped. There it was in all it's glory.
The Autobot logo.
All of the Autobots behind him seemed to enlarge their optics, focusing on the logo and what could be their new ally. Optimus slowly made his way to Sam's side an knelt down in front of the newly recognized Autobot.
"How..?" Was the only word he managed to get out while staring down at the four red eyes.
The green Autobot looked down at Sam, before back at Optimus.
"You recall my master trying to get the All Spark to the building, correct?" Sam winced every time he called him master. The green Autobot once again made him think of Megatron.
"Yes"
"Well when he was running, he hit a car and fell. The All Spark impacted with the ground and sent out an electrical beam. I was an ordinary drinks machine, when suddenly the beam impacted with me and a transformed into what i am now"
"That still does not explain why were chosen to be an Autobot" Optimus looked down expectantly
"Ah yes. My masters intentions were good when he had the All Spark. So when he fell, his soul combined with it's power and created an Autobot" The green bot bent down to look directly at Sam "You brought me to life master, i thank you from the bottom of my spark"
Sam thought he had understood the whole situation, but he became confused once again. There were so many questions to ask.
"I wish to stay with you master, if that is ok"
"Ah, um i already-" Sam was interrupted by Bumblebee who came stomping up behind them. He certainly was not pleased with the Autobots request. He scooped up Sam gently and sat him on his shoulder, then glared down at the bot.
"He already has one guardian and if you don't mind, that's the way it will be staying"
Sam, slightly shocked at Bee's reaction, looked back and forth between the two Autobots. His thoughts were conflicting right now. After Bee's reaction to the small bots request, he wasn't sure whether to say yes. But on the other hand, he couldn't just abandon him.. could he? He did create him after all.
"I'll leave you to make your decision, Sam" Optimus said. He then stood up and walked back over to the rest of the group.
A low chuckle erupted from Ironhide
"Looks like we finally found another Autobot who is more of a half pint than you, eh Jazz?"
"Shut the hell up you bastard. Fuckin' over sized trashcan" Jazz snapped, causing Ironhide to emit another low chuckle. Disparaging his comrade was always amusing, no matter what situation they were in.
Ratchet just rolled his optics before looking at Optimus.
"Prime, what about the meeting?" He questioned
"We'll resume this discussion another time. For now, you can return to your duties and I will summon you when i feel it's appropriate" Optimus looked over his shoulder at the trio behind him then back at the other Autobots "But at the moment we have a slight distraction so it will probably be after things calm down. Autobots, roll out"
"We rollin'!" Shouted Jazz, who quickly transformed into a Solstice and sped off
Ratchet let out a sigh "Why does he always do that?"
"Do it with style or don't bother doing it!" Jazz yelled from the distance. Ratchet shook his head before transforming and speeding after Jazz
"Ironhide? Why haven't you left already?"
"I just don't trust that Autobot Prime. I mean just look at it's face. It even looks like a Decepticon. Those piercing red optics go right through me"
"You mustn't jump to conclusions straight away. But i will be keeping a close eye on it over the next few days, and by the way things are going over there, i think Bumblebee will too"
Ironhide grumbled before transforming and leaving
Optimus looked over his shoulder once more
"Be careful Sam" He said almost in a whisper. He changed into the 18 wheeler and slowly drove away.
"Uh.. I-uh um" Sam was finding it harder to choose an answer with every second that passed
"Master?" The Autobot looked up at him expectantly
"..." Sam sighed "You can stay with me.." He looked at the side of Bumblebee's face through the corner of his eye and he could see that he was feeling hurt.
The green Autobot seemed to smile.
"Thank you, ma-"
"No, no stop" Sam interrupted
"Let's get a few things straight ok?" The Autobot nodded "I would rather not be called Master. For one thing i really don't like it. Could you please call me Sam?"
"Yes, ma- ..Sam"
"And another thing, this is Bumblebee" Sam placed a hand on the side of Bee's armor "He is my guardian and not to be rude or anything, but he comes first and he always will" Bumblebee looked at Sam briefly but then back at the Autobot. He still felt hurt that Sam would choose to have another companion. Especially one that would be following him around all day. After all, it took several months to track down Sam and eventually find him so it was not going to just stay put.
"Bumblebee..." The bot focused all it's optics on Bee then blinked and looked him up and down, as if it was scanning him.
"Do you have a name?" Sam asked
"No. Usually it is the responsibility of the Spark wielder to name it's creations"
"Guess we'll have to come up with one for you then" Sam smiled
"I would like that very much"
"Bee, can i get down now?" Sam looked at the side of his guardians face. Bumblebee blinked as if hesitating, then brought his hand up for Sam to stand on. Sam got on carefully and Bumblebee lowered him to the ground. Bee then took a step back and flopped to the floor in a seating position, causing the ground to shake. Sam jumped and looked over his shoulder briefly then back at the green bot. He then sat on the ground, leaning back against Bees foot, the green bot doing the same, except it leant against a large boulder.
"Hm... I'm not very good with names. Some that came off the top of my head are Gearshift, Hypercannon and Skyshard. But none of them describe you as you actually are"
"I like Sky-"
"I have an idea" Interrupted Bee "Why don't you try Shortstuff? That's suits you perfectly"
Sam gave him a sarcastic look before turning back to the bot.
"You liked Skyshard?" The bot just simply nodded "Then that's what we'll stick with. But first.." Sam stood up and walked in between Skyshards legs "We'll have to get rid of these.." He reached up and individually pulled off the Mountain Dew stickers. He sat back down and looked up at Skyshard "You look much better now" He smiled.
Skyshard simply nodded.
"So what are your weapons?" Sam piped up after a few moments silence
"I only have two cannons. Both located on either of my first set of arms. When my target is locked, i fire small robotic missiles that follow the target until impact. The missiles are like miniature flying spiders" Sam laughed at the thought of the tiny creatures with jet packs. A lot of people would be freaked is one ever came closed "If the targeting is moving, for example flying they will follow it. If it's a still target, they will crawl into them. On impact the robotic missiles explode, in both cases"
"Impressive" Sam smiled "Can you transform into anything? Like a vehicle of some sort"
"Yes, i am capable of changing into a V-Rod sport cruiser motorcycle"
"Wow! Honestly? How are you capable of that?"
"Like all Autobots, i can scan things and copy their every detail. Since i needed to find you quickly, i just scanned the fastest thing that went past me the day i was created"
"Can you show us?" Sam asked hopefully
"Of course" Skyshard got to his feet and slowly transformed into the vehicle and flung out his stand to stop himself from falling. Sam gazed in awe at the dashing green motorbike now in front of him. Bee felt another flash of hurt in his spark and looked away. "Care to take me for a ride?" Skyshards seat popped open and revealed two matching helmets. Sam froze. That question came out awkwardly in two ways. One, it sounded plain wrong in his mind. Two, what about Bee? As if his question was answered, Bee stood up. Sam yelped and fell on his back, looking up at his guardian.
"Sam, we are going home and when i say we, i mean you and me" Bee transformed in the yellow Camaro and popped open his passenger door. Sam sat up and looked round at the vehicle.
"But Bee, what abou-"
"NOW!" He barked, making Sam jump out of his skin. He looked back at Skyshard briefly before getting up and clambering into the Camaro. Bee slammed the door shut, locking the hatches and sped away from green bike.
"What the hell is your problem?!" Sam shouted at the radio as he did up his seat belt
"I'm always paying, never make it but you can't look back"
"What are you on about?" He frowned
"Ice cube, frost bite, wintering, your colder than any of them"
"What else could i have done Bee? I couldn't of just left Skyshard there, not after he spent all that time looking for me!"
"Why" Came the blunt reply
"Well because for one thing, i created him! Maybe it wasn't intentional, but i have to take responsibility for him"
A snort reverberated from Bee's radio
"And what about you? Acting all snooty and overprotective as soon as Skyshard had explained the whole situation! What the hell is wrong?!" A few moments of silence went passed "Well?!" He yelled a little too loudly at the radio, which came to life and blasted some heavy music causing Sam to jerk back into his set. Just as Bee rounded the corner of the street he lived on, Sam yanked up door latch, causing Bee to brake suddenly. As soon as they came to a halt, Sam shoved open the door and slammed it behind him. As he began to storm off, Bee transformed and immediately grabbed him. Startled, Sam tried to wiggle out of his guardians grip, but found it impossible. Not to mention a drop from the high he was at could be lethal. He refused to look at Bee and glared at a spot in the distance. Bee stared down at him for a long few minutes before deciding to speak.
"I'm sorry Sam, it's just that I-"
"I don't care" He retorted "Just put me down" Bumblebee sighed, then slowly lowered his human to the floor. As soon as he was released, Sam stomped off towards his house.
"You just don't understand.."
Sam whirled round, this time looking straight up at Bee "Understand what?!"
"The current situation and the way it's affecting me"
"I'm pretty damn sure i do. Ever since you saw Skyshard you've been acting completely off, as if you're.. jelous!"
"..." Bee averted his gaze
"Ugh i can't believe this! Why are you doing this Bee?! Why- actually never mind. Just fuck it yeh. I'm going home" He advanced once again down the road towards his house, muttering something about aliens and emotions. A few minutes later there was a sudden revving of engines. Sam looked round to see his yellow Camaro charging towards him. He gasped and tried to move out the way, but he wasn't fast enough. Bee slammed into Sam's left thigh, sending him flying into the curb. Sam's head impacted with the curb and he groaned before everything faded into darkness..
As quoted by my friend who read this before i submitted it; "Ohmygosh Bee! What have you doneeeeeee?! Write more, NOW"
