Hey! I absolutely love how this fic is coming out! Please R&R!
Chapter 3
Autobots? All Spark?
My electric scooter was at maximum speed down hill. I still couldn't believe what had just happened. I had made contact with alien robots! And I had nearly been caught in an alien robot fight! I was so busy contemplating weather to tell any one and being freaked out that I didn't even notice the helicopter flying towards me for a while.

Cyclonis was on his way to the battle to back up Starscream when Starscream came in on the com. link saying that it was over. "But be on the look out for a fleshling riding some sort of 2 wheeled vehicle; I saw it with the Autobots, it may know something." Just then Cyclonis saw a fleshling riding down the hill on a 2 wheeled vehicle.
"There it is! I spotted it!"
"Move in to capture it."

I was snapped out of my (erratic) train of thought by a huge gust blowing twigs and leaves in my face. Looking up I saw a military grade helicopter barreling towards me. After gaping for 30 seconds, the adrenaline started to pump again. I made a herd right into the brush praying that it would keep the helicopter at bay. When I heard snapping wood and propellers I didn't even need to look back.
Then there was this sound that resembled metal blades slicing against each other, and before I knew it there was a giant robot standing in front of me. I came to a screeching stop and just stared at it for a sec. "So… how about we open peaceful relations between our races?"
"How about you come with me and tell me what you know?" I could've sworn that thing snickered at me before it picked me up and flew into the air.
I was almost too scared to think straight. I was (once again) being held by a giant alien robot. But this one not only could fly, but it was utilizing it's ability to lift me 30 feet into the air!
"Now tell me what you know about the all spark shards!" What? What did he say? Shards? "I-I-I don't know what your talking about!" I pleaded. "Then why were you talking to the Autobots?"
"Honest t god, I don't know what your talking about!" He loosened his grip on me. "W-W-Wait! Please! No! I'm telling you! I probably know less than you do!"
"Then I have no use for you." It dropped me.
As I fell, I was aware of nothing, nothing but the fact that I was falling. Everything around me was just a blur. Images and memories flashed through my mind. Family, friends, birthdays, vacations, parties. All the happiest moments in my life and the faces of those I shared them with. As tears began to leave my face I heard a car engine race towards me. Then out of no where I felt metal surrounding my torso and I heard metal crashing as I was shaken violently.
I didn't see anything that had happened because my eyes were shut tight. Is this heaven? I thought. Then I became aware of the metal pinching and hurting me. Wait, I thought. If I can feel pain… then I'm not dead…! Cautiously opening my eyes I saw hotshot before me.
Relief swelled with in me. I had known Hotshot for less than a day and he had earned my trust. I felt a surge of hope; I knew I was going to live. I heard a blast and felt a wave of heat behind me. I looked over and saw that something had hit the helicopter robot and had injured it badly. "Hotshot!" The voice of the black robot bellowed. I saw that the black robot had also changed it's arm into a cannon of sorts. "Get Sora Veil out of here!" the light yellow robot said as he jumped beside us.
Hotshot put me down then turned into a yellow camero! He opened one of his doors and I got the message. Without hesitating, I jumped in.
(15 minutes later…)
The blasts had stopped and a black hummer I assumed to be the black robot with the big canon had joined us, as did a yellow search and rescue truck I assumed to be the light yellow robot. The ride had been unbearable silent. I wanted to blurt out so many questions all at once. "Some one's pretty quiet." A voice said out of no where. It made me jump and yelp. This voice was a new one. "Wh-Who was that?"
"It was just Jazz." Hotshot's voice said. "Y-you talk… through the radio…?"
"Yep." He answered. "Then who's Jazz?"
"Look to your right." I saw that a small silver compact car had joined the group. "He's Jazz?" I asked pointing at the car, wondering if the robot could actually see me. "Yes." He answered. "So cut the silence already! Your killing me! This planet had roads, life, and a bunch of stuff I don't even know about, but the locals don't talk?"
"Not after they nearly got killed by a giant alien robot, wait, what's the big deal about this planet being filled with life? Isn't yours filled with life?"
"Not any more."
"What do you mean?"
"Optimus will explain."
"Optimus?"
"Look in front of you." I looked out and saw that the entire group was following a blue semi with red flames.
(5 minutes later…)
The motorcade of sorts had arrived at an old abandoned factory that looked over Bell Wood. All the cars had changed into their robot modes. The light yellow one was named Ratchet and he was the medical officer. The black one was named Ironhide and he was the weapons specialist. "Optimus" knelt in front of me. "You are Sora Veil?" He asked. "Y-yeah."
"My name is Optimus Prime. I am the leader of the Autobots." It clicked.
(FLASHBACK)
"Now tell me what you know about the all spark shards!" What? What did he say? Shards? "I-I-I don't know what your talking about!" I pleaded. "Then why were you talking to the Autobots?"
(END FLASHBACK)
"That one helicopter robot nearly killed me to get info on you!"
"Info?" Ratchet asked. "Its short for 'information' but that's beside the point! You guys never said anything about having enemies!"
"Our enemies jumped in before we could warn you of them" Ratchet protested. I calmed down. "But we should get back on topic. We brought you here to explain the severity of the situation and ask of your recommendations."
"Wow, not that I'm not flattered but, you are going to take my recommendations seriously?"
"Of coarse, what is it that news group called you? 'Child prodigy.'"
"How did you know that?"
"We got into one of your planet's public information databases and found allot about earth. How else do you think we learned earth's languages? Oh, are you all right?" Ratchet asked. "Yeah, why?"
"There's a red liquid secreting from you leg."
"Ah! Fuck! I'm bleeding!"
"Bleeding?"
"Blood is coming out of me."
"What's blood? Do you need it?"
"Yeah, but on the inside of our bodies."
"Anyway, we should start at the beginning." Optimus said. His blue light… projector… EYES, lit up and let out a beam of light. Suddenly the surroundings were completely changed. I was in a completely mechanized city, teeming with robotic forms of life.
"Our planet was known as Cybertron. For many millennia the world was calm, peaceful, and just. All that began to change after the arrival of the all spark." The scenery became dark, and a meteorite crashed into the ground, creating a 15 foot crater in the ground. The meteorite was made of those strange blue/silver stones. "We found that alike our creator primus, it had the ability to form new transformer life. Not only that, it could also increase the power, and heal the wounds of transformers. That is when the Desepticons attempted to take the power for themselves." Images of raging battles came on. "The battles ravaged our planet, and soon, we had no choice but to eject the all spark into space. Thanks to this decision, we are in a rare cease fire. But we also lost our only chance at restoring our planet to it's former glory. But when some one came into contact with several all spark shards, there was an energy surge that revealed their location to not only to us, but to the Desepticons." Optimus finished and turned off the hologram. "If the Desepticons gain the all spark shards, they will use it's power to build a new army and most likely, wipe out all humans and Autobots." Ratchet added.
"We have reason to believe that you were the human that came into contact with the shards." Hotshot said. "I think your right." I said as I pulled out the stones from earlier. Another light came out of Ratchet's eyes and it came over the shards. "Those are them." He said as he gently picked them out of my open hand. "And for your recommendation, we noticed how alarmed you were at our appearance." Ratchet said. "Would it be unwise to reveal ourselves to the humans, and for a situation where we have no choice, what exactly should we do so that we don't cause the humans to fear us?" Optimus asked humbly. I didn't even have to think. "Do not reveal your selves to the human race unless you absolutely have to! Some humans may not appreciate the fat that they're no longer the only intelligent species around. And if you do have to, first, you should really make a good impression."
"How so?" Ironhide asked. "Save lives, if there's some sort of accident and your in a position where you can save the day, go for it. This could win the trust of allot of people. Especially the younger generations, and if the Desepticons do something screwy, make it clear that you 2 are as different as North and South Korea."
"Jazz is the one that took care of learning about humanity's international relations" hotshot mumbled. "They're 2 groups of humans that don't exactly see eye to eye." Jazz stated.
"We thank you for your help." Optimus said. "Here, I retrieved this for you." Ratchet said with an open hand. I found my scooter, collapsed into it's compact shape, and intact. "My scooter! Thanks Ratchet!"
"Also, take this." There was a weird watch of sorts in his hand. "If the Desepticons give you any trouble again, use that to contact us." Hotshot said. "Will do!" I didn't know why, but even when I was headed home, I somehow knew that I was going to run into the Autobots again.
