Living with the Autobots Chapter 2
It is now present time, I am fifteen years old and second in command of the Autobots. I am currently in a training session with one of the rookies Ironhide, he's a great soldier and he has huge potential. However Ironhide is too serious for his own good, but he just wants to impress Optimus. Right now I am dodging each of the blasts Ironhide is shooting at me. This is a good exercise for rookies as it helps them perfect their aim, and of course this exercise also helps me perfect my dodging technique, I may be small but I am fast. I dodge another blast, that blast was too close for comfort. So I shout stop and he does, got to love being in charge. He runs up to me with this stupid, dorky smile on his face, he was too adorable sometimes and I couldn't help but smile back at him.
"How did I do?" he asks as he saluted me. I just laugh at him as he gives me a confused look.
"You don't need to salute me Ironhide, I'm still the same Alicia as before" I said then I wink at him, this was normal for me to be playful with my rookies, but keep this between us Ironhide is my favourite. "And you did great; you almost hit me that last time, I'm so proud of you"
The biggest smile ever appears on his face, like I said adorable. Little did I know Optimus had been watching the whole time. He walks up to up to us, Ironhide stands beside me and salutes, I salute as well but of course me being stubborn, I'm annoyed he was checking up on me and my rookies, I would have given him a report after.
"At ease Ironhide and Alicia" I relax, he turns to look at Ironhide "I was watching your training session, I was impressed"
"aw thank you sir you don't know how much that means coming from you" I swear if the Transformers could blush his face would be bright red " I will keep working hard so I can eventually become a member of your team"
Optimus just stood there and laughed, he was a great leader, and everyone looked up to him, no pun intended. "Ironhide you remind me of Hotshot when he was a rookie" that pulled one of my heart strings, I missed Hotshot so much, because of my training I hadn't seen my partner in seven years. "Wow sir! Its just a honour to be mentioned in the same sentence as Hotshot" I smile a small smile, when I first started training Ironhide he had told me how much he looked up to Hotshot, he was his hero and he is also mine. I look up at Optimus "Sir our training session is over, so I'm going to have a lie down" he nodded at me, I turn and look as Ironhide "keep practising and it wont be long until you're a member of the elite, again I'm so proud of you" he just smiles "thank you Alicia" I nodded at him and walked out of the room.
While walking through the corridors of Cybertron City, I walk past the lab. I might as well go and see my father. I walk in and see my father and Dr Jones talking; they both look up and smile.
"Hey daddy, Hi Dr Jones" I smile at them "What going on? No trouble on Earth I hope"
"The only trouble on Earth is my son" Dr Jones looks very stressed.
"Kicker still causing trouble" I ask. You see Dr Jones has a son who lives on Ocean City, his name is Kicker. Kicker has the unique ability to sense the location of hidden energon; however he always gets annoyed when he has to do this. For some reason he has a problem with the Autobots, so like the complete idiot he is, he makes life living hell for Hotshot and the other transformers on earth. We learnt later that he had received this gift from primus, the life source of Cybertron. It was then kicker realised 'with great power comes great responsibility'.
"Yeah, he made another escape attempt this morning, I feel so sorry for Hotshot. However not long after we found a huge supply of energon in the mines" he smiles; he has always been proud of Kickers ability and has always encouraged him to embrace it. I nodded.
"That's good, I hope it's a lot" I walk up to my dad and give him a hug. "How are you dad?"
"I'm good, How are you?" he asks smiling as me.
"I'm good, just finished a training session with Ironhide. I'm so proud of him, he's come a long way since we started his training two years ago, I say he's ready to join the team" as soon as I said this Optimus walks through the door "I think so too but we'll keep it a secret from him for now" Optimus could be so sneaky sometimes.
Ten minutes later I walk out; I'm tired so to my bed I go. I arrive at my room and immediately collapse on my bed; I begin to think about how peaceful the last nine years have been. After Megatron was destroyed, the Autobots concentrated all their time on building the Cybertron cities on three different sites on different parts of the Earth. However I spent most of the first two years learning about the new capabilities of my new body, of course Hotshot was by my side always, well until the day Optimus told me he was going to take me to Cybertron to start my official Autobot training. I was really happy about this, but when Hotshot was told he was to remain on earth he was devastated, as was I. I needed to learn not to depend on Hotshot anymore, I knew it would be hard but I knew I could do it, I had people I needed to protect and I would serve Optimus to the best of my ability.
For the next seven years I trained every day, I hardly ever spoke to Hotshot after I left. Honestly I haven't spoken to him in 3 years; Jetfire tells me he asks about me everyday when he calls about the daily updates on how things are going on earth. It made me smile to know he still cared, I thought he would be angry at me for not calling, but he understood that I was busy with my training and also training my rookies. I hope I will eventually return to earth, I miss my mother and Hotshot very much.
All of a sudden an alert snapped me out of my daydream, so much for my sleep. I run out of my room, straight into the command centre.
"Optimus Sir what's going on?" I ask urgently.
"Mars City has been attacked" he replied. I was in shock, who would want to attack Mars City; we have had peace for the last nine years why now?
"Is Carlos ok?" I ask, as Carlos is an old friend of my parents.
"He's fine, however we don't know if there are any Transformers who survived" he explained. I hope earth isn't next.
"Will Earth be next?" asked Jetfire as if reading my mind.
"I don't know but assemble the team, we're going to mars city then earth" we all nod. I run to my room, and get changed into my official battle out fit, this is the first time I've ever had to wear.
I have my oxygen helmet on, as I was out side and there wasn't any oxygen. We were ready to go, I jump in Jetfire's driver's seat, but we were stopped by a very energetic Ironhide.
"What is it Ironhide?" Optimus asked.
"Sir please allow me to join you on this mission, I want to earn my spark of combination and become an official member of your team" Ironhide replied almost begging.
"I don't know" Optimus turns to Jetfire but I knew he was looking at me. "What do you think Alicia, he's your rookie" I smile a small smile, Ironhide was stubborn and I knew he wouldn't let me down. I climb out of Jetfire's driver's seat and stood next to Optimus.
"Sir, I think he deserves a chance to prove he can do this" Optimus nods, I turn to Ironhide "Don't let me down soldier" he salutes me "I wont let you down Ma'am" I nod, and then I jump back into the drivers seat and close the latch. I see Ironhide transform into vehicle mode, I smile again, I'm so proud of him.
"Lets get going everyone" ordered Optimus, and we were off, soon I would be home, back to planet earth and I couldn't wait to see Hotshot again.
