Here it is! The long awaited explosion that begins our story!
Disclaimer: Me and my friend own Erica and Sam, the rest belongs to someone else.
"It's finished!"
Optimus was slightly startled as Wheeljack burst through the door of his office.
"What's finished?" Optimus stammered, a tad bit afraid of another explosion, most likely the fifth one this week, would do to the base.
Wheeljack hopped up and down in excitement.
"The invention! It's finished!" Wheeljack squealed like a femme. Optimus sighed.
"Please let this one work." he grumbled as the inventor pulled him out of the office.
As they came up to the lab, Optimus saw several other 'bots waiting. He could understand why Prowl was here but why Bluestreak?
"Bluestreak, what are you doing here?" he asked. Bluestreak smiled.
"I was actually talking to Prowl while he was heading over here. Do you think this one will actually work? I wonder if he had some help from anybody? I hope it wasn't the twins." Before the grey mech could continue Optimus started walking away.
Strangely, he spotted Jazz with a grin so wide it could scare anybody.
"What are you grinning about?" Optimus chuckled. Jazz shook his head, as if getting out of some kind of trance.
"Huh? Oh, I was watching some videos online." he chuckled. Optimus raised an optic ridge.
"Music videos?" Jazz nodded and went back into that weird trance like state. Prowl chuckled from his spot a ways away.
Optimus soon spotted the twins. They were standing against one of the walls and doing nothing.
"What's your excuse?" Optimus asked.
"Bored." they said in unison and shrugged.
Optimus made his way over to Wheeljack and stared at the weird invention. A deformed cube thingy could actually help defeat Decepticons?
"So, you're sure this will work?" the Autobot leader sighed. Wheeljack nodded eagerly.
"100%" he said cheerfully.
"Okay, turn it on." Optimus said.
Wheeljack flipped a few switches and waited for it to start. Prowl was trying to get several of the onlookers out of the lab in case it exploded.
It still didn't explode. It didn't do anything.
"Well that's odd…" Wheeljack said. All of a sudden, gunfire sounded from outside.
"Slag! Decepticons!" Jazz shouted.
Everybody was about to go fight when the thing finally did something.
To bad it had to be an explosion.
"Primus… Why does my head hurt so much?" Optimus said.
For some reason his voice was different.
He quickly stood up, thus causing his head to hurt more.
He yelped and brought a hand to his head.
There was something strange about his hand to. It felt soft?
In a slight panic, Optimus brought his hand down to his eyes.
His hand was made out of human flesh.
Optimus quickly looked himself over.
He was completely human.
Human clothes. Human hair. Everything human.
He looked around.
All the Autobots were humans.
He felt someone tap his shoulder.
Optimus turned around to see a human with white hair and surprisingly large ears.
"Wheeljack?" he stammered.
Wheeljack nodded.
"I think it was supposed to 99.9% sir." he stammered nervously.
"No kidding?"
Optimus and Wheeljack turned around to see a young brunette man just starting to stand up. You could easily tell who it was by his blood red eyes.
"So it changed the Decepticons too?" someone asked.
Optimus turned around and saw a young police officer with black hair.
"Did it reach everyone?" Optimus asked Prowl.
"I'm guessing. Will you be able to fix it Wheeljack?" Prowl asked the now human engineer.
"Probably, but I'm going to need some help." the big eared human said.
They could hear several shouts, no doubt from Ratchet.
Sure enough, human Ratchet was shouting at two identical blonde and red haired boys. The twins.
"They didn't do it Ratchet." Optimus sighed. Ratchet blinked at him.
"I know that. They just got into a big fight." Ratchet retorted.
"Optimus…"
Optimus turned around and saw a rather nervous blonde boy.
"What is it Bumblebee?"
"Are we going to have to act like humans now?" Optimus sighed as everyone looked toward him, including the Decepticons.
"I guess so."
Bumblebee immediately perked up and did a fist pump. Everyone just shrugged.
"We can still use the base, after all it was an old military base." Ratchet said. Optimus nodded and turned to where Starscream was standing with his brothers.
"You're willing to stay if you choose." he said.
Starscream looked at his brothers and the others for an answer.
They didn't really seem to care. They just wanted to get out of these human forms.
"Fine. But no tricks Autobot!" he growled.
A muscular man in his mid 40's stepped forward.
"We should be saying the same thing." Ironhide growled back. Optimus stood in-between them.
"Stop. As long as we're human there is a truce." Optimus stated. Ironhide huffed and backed off. Optimus turned back to Wheeljack.
"So what kind of parts do you need?"
"Most of the parts you can find in human electronics shops, the rest will take a little more searching. It should take about a few months, maybe more?" Wheeljack said nervously.
"What?!" Thundercracker screamed. Starscream hit him in the back of the head.
"Who cares? These human forms are pretty cool." Jazz said placing a pair of head phones on his ears.
It did seem this didn't affect everyone very badly.
Bluestreak was talking non-stop to Soundwave while the twins snickered. Prowl was doing something boring. Blurr was running back and forth. Barricade was just standing off to the side. Even Ratchet was acting as normal as he could be.
"Should we go and try to find some of those parts?" Optimus asked Wheeljack. Wheeljack smiled and nodded.
"Kristelle. Kristelle?"
Kristelle realized someone was talking to her and let her brown eyes travel from her book into the light blue of Starlight's.
Kristelle put her book down and looked around. Starlight was smiling sweetly. Angelina was scowling. Samantha was bouncing up and down while chattering excitedly to Erica who calmly listened with a neutral expression.
"We're going to be late." Starlight said softly. Kristelle brightened and stood up. Samantha stopped bouncing but her eyes showed tons of energy.
"Yeah! Blizzara is going to bring cookies! Even though Care says I shouldn't eat a lot of those because I'll get super hyper I'm gonna anyway!" she said excitedly while pointing at Starlight. Starlight just sighed while Angelina rolled her eyes.
"If you eat all them I am going to kick your ass." she growled. Erica stood protectively in front of her best friend with one of her rare scowls on her normally emotionless face. Angelina backed off cautiously, a pissed of boxer was never a fun thing.
"Thanks Ricki!" Samantha cheered. Erica turned her scowl towards the hyper black and blue haired girl.
"Looks like she still isn't over the soccer ball incident, Sam." Starlight giggled softly. Sam shrugged.
"Eh, I don't care. As long as she can stop the wrath of Angel I'm fine with it." Angel growled at Sam.
"Let's just go. You all remembered your bracelets right?" Starlight said softly. Everyone lifted their bracelets up to show the names of their favorite transformer. Sam giggled.
"Care, I seriously have no idea why you need to where that. It's very clear you're in love with Ratchet." Sam chattered and pointed at Starlight's shirt.
It was true, her shirt had a large picture of the Autobot symbol and G1 Ratchet printed on it. Starlight blushed and Sam snickered.
"Come on!" Angel snapped.
They quickly hurried out of the class room and headed towards the park.
Tada! I hope you liked it! Reviews would be nice!
Friend and Co-Author: Well duh! Why wouldn't they review!
You'd be surprised. Now go home, you can't stay at my house for ever!
