Never before in her life Samy made it that fast to jump out of the tub, grab her clothes, brushed her hair and made her look human again. But she had this last piece of confersation in her mind: You can't be far away...
She doubted that these, hm creatures, would care if she is not ready at their arrive. But what seemed for her like hours, she finally made it to feel „prepared for the upcoming adventure", thats what she called the mysterious situation.
And so she sat there on her veranda, dressed in Jeans and T-Shirt, wrapping her arms around her, for she felt cold because of the excitement inside her. The laptop stood beside her but nothing appeared on the desktop. Silence!
Maybe those guys just were kiddin' her. Or maybe she only deamed that. The hot steam in the bathroom, the emotional last days, the lot of stress...
But it was then, when a quiet hum made the way to her ears out of nowhere. It grew louder and louder, like the sound of some cars comming nearer.
In the darkness of the dessert appeared some spots of light, in fact four.
„There they were comming", Samy thought shaking in excitement. And after a few mor time two vehicles, a huge blue truck with red flames and a Search & Rescue SUV Hummer H2 came to a halt right infront of her. Her mouth fell open, as she heard the strangest noise ever and those two cars transformed right infront of her eyes to two huge robots. The bigger one of both, bent forward and brought his enormous face to hers:
„Samantha? I am Optimus Prime, the autobot leader, and this is my medical officer and old friend Rachet. We come to bring you to the Autobot Base. So don't be affraid no one is going to harm you, you are with friends."
Samy took all the courage she could find inside and answered:
„Nice to meet you, I am Samantha Corrigan, mechanical engineer, and a peacelovin' human."
„Oh, although I'm obviously not human I'm peacelovin', too, so Samy we share some traits, and for this you can call me Ratch, as all my friends do so."
Samy smiled a little and felt that those alien creatures were scaring in no way, and that she was in good, could she call THIS hands, yes, she was in good hands!
„Do you have your behavin' laptop with you? I want to have a look at it?", Optimus asek with his deep and friendly voice, which make Samy feel shiver inside.
„'Course I didn't leave it alone one minute since we talked, it might have done somethin' else."
„That's good. Jump in and off we go!", Optimus said and both transformed again. Samy climbed into the truck and the journey began.
Samy watched of of the window but she couldn't see anything. They were covered in complete darkness. After a few minutes she heard a slight moan around her. Optimus obviously had to be in pain.
„Are you alright?" Samy asked. She felt how the seat got hot and started to burn her. She jumped off.
„There is some electic shock floatin' my systems. But I can't figure out where it comes from. We arrive in a minute then I'll let Ratchet have a look on me!"
„I wish I could help you. You really feel fevered, and I think this is not good for you guys, too."
Optimus drove faster and faster and suddenly came to a halt infront of a huge cave, at one side of a rock face. She could see a pale light coming out of the cave, and infront of it, a huge shadow stood beside the entrance, almost as large as Optimus. The door opened, Samy took the noteboke, jumped out, Optimus transformed, and before he could tell Ratchet about his pain, it had vanished.
„Strange! Ratched, I just felt some horrible pain inside me, it felt like I have to burn up, but it vanished the moment Samy was outside."
The robot, Samy saw for the first time now, walked towards her, with some movement he bent down and brought his righthand cannon infront of her face. Samy gasped in fear!
„What you've done to our leader, bum?! Should I eliminate her; Prime?"
„Hey, hey keep calm Ironhide, I don't think she did it on purpose. So apologize to Samantha about your behaviour!"
Samy saw the cannons vanish and the firm face of Ironhide formed something comparing to a smile and he said: „Sorry Samantha, don't blame me fer my reaction but it's my business to guarantee security for my comrades. So don't mind, ok!"
It looked so unbelievable funny, this enormous mechanical creature trying to excuse and trying to look friendly, Samy could not hold back a laugh and forgot about the fear she felt seconds before.
„No problem," she told with tears of laughter in her eyes, „I see you are a very serious personality and I can't blame ya for that! I'm Samy for you my friend!" and she started laughing again.
„Oh I see, she found the right way to handle a guy like you Hide! Don't take ya to serious, I'm going to ask her, if she could give me any tips to deal with you!" Ratchet chuckled.
„Yeah but I won't be that nice to you if yer blame me, 'couse you are not that fragile like the girl. So if you excuse my I still have work to do!" And with this words Ironhide turned to his heels, although he didn't really have one, and started to patrol alongside the rocks.
Optimus watched this situation with a smile on his face but now he looked stern and bowed to Samy.
„Do you have somthing else carry with you, you did not tell me about yet?"
Samy looked like she was caught in the act, although she didn't really knew why. As far as she knew there was nothing forbidden she had done or was carrying with her. She gave the notebook to Ratchet and started to tap her jeans. Nothing there, exeptly her...
„ Oh my key!" and she took it out and showed it to Prime.
„Ah this might be a problem on one hand but explains everything on the other! But first come in, we can discuss this matter better in some suitable ambiance!"
He started to walk inside, Samy saw Ratchets encouraging smile and followed, Ratchet behind her. She had to run to keep up with Optimus, 'couse her legs were about three meters shorter than his.
„Sorry fer not carryin' you but I don't want to feel this pain again."
„No...ah...pro...ah...blem...'cause...I...ah...can...understand...ah...yer...point!" Samy was breathing heavily. Deeper and deeper they proceeded inside the mountain, and finally arrived in a huge hall in which there were lots of equipment comparing to our computers, lot and lots of indicator lights blinking, the air was filled with some diffrent humming and beeping and clicking sounds. In one corner stood a desk, wich reminded her of a drafting board. The walls were full of monitors showing curves and functions and signals. In the middle of the room stood something like a directive antenna, but it was still in builing progress.
On the opposite side of the room, Samy could see another corridor leading downwards and it seemed that there were doors at each side of it. With her glance back in the hall Samy saw a lounge. While she was wondering how on earth she should manage to climb up to the table, Optimus grabed her, walked across the hall and sat her on the table. Samy had a look at him and realised that he shook his hand as if it had been burnt again.
Ratchet came alonge, put the laptop on the table and asked:
„I registered you feel some sort of desiccated, would ya like somthin' to drink? I can bring you some water!" „Yeah that'll be great, thanks!"
Ratchet walked into the other corridor, and after a minute or so came back with a -in his hand- tiny looking bowl, but after he placed it onto the table Samy realized how big it really was. It seemed that I have to drink like some dog out of its cup, but I could not expect them have glasses in proper dimension. And so she bowed down and drank out of the bowl, her whole head fits in it,
„Ok this is not very suitable but we can't offer you somethin' better!"
„The water is great, that all that count!" Samy tried to salve Ratchets conscience.
„Now back to business," Optimus was saying, „can you turn it on", he pointed at the notebook, „ and than tell me were you got your pendant from, and what happend with it!"
Samantha did what she was asked for, and then told how she got it from Lily and what happened when she sat in her tub. „Can you please tell me what all this about? I'm so courios to hear the truth!"
And so Optimus Prime started to tell her about the AllSpark. What it meant to the Autobots, why the Decepticons were after it, how they find their way to earth, and how Sam Witwicky destroyed the cube and with it brought Megatron down.
Samy could not help but feel great respect for Sam and his courage, but she also felt tiny and helpless. How on earth a part of this cube out of hell, or heaven or nowhere, could fall into her hands. Damn Lily! This could cause many many problems in future and turn her life upside down. But hey, her life had been boring and now she found new friends, strange new friends, and was right inside an adventure. It was much better than sitting at home and feel sorry for herself.
Ratchet scanned the laptop and told Optimus that there was nothing special an it. Prime looked at the desktop and there a new window opend with dark blue letters on it:
-what's all this about?
And in Ratchet's green letters the answer appeared:
-Might be some usefull in time!
Samy had a look at both of them. „Do you want it to leave it here at your base? And the fraction of the AllSpark? Should I give it to your truthfull hands?"
„To think about it – no! We can't have the fragment around. There ist still so much energy in it , it could kill us. But it don't harm you. So keep it save and do not show it to anybody! And told your friend Lily to keep quiet about this artefact. And for the laptop. Can you buy us one? We'll bring it in contact with the fragment and hope that it'll react the same way yours did. As we can't interfere in the Decepticons comlink, the computer will show us if they are near. And you'll keep yours so you also can see if there is danger coming up to you."
Danger? For her? Samy never thought about it, but of course! If the Decepticons find out that there is still a part of the AllSpark remaining, they want to get it and find a way for them to use it for their own interests. Her face went pale!
„Don't worry Samantha, we will always be around to guard you. You won't be alone, and if you wish there will be one of us always at your side as your personal guardian."
With these words and the screenshot on her desktop a few hours ago, the Cranberries song came to her mind and Samy smiled...
Electric blue eyes where did you come from
Electric blue eyes who sent you
Electric blue eyes always be near me
Electric blue eyes I need you
"Domina adjuva me"
Wish you'd go
Wish you'd know I am out here
If you should go you should know I am here
Always be near me guardian angel
Always be near me, there's no fear
"Domina adjuva me"
