Darkness Rising Part 3
Next Day
My Pov
As Me and G-Force made our way back to the Autobot base, I told him about the dream I had.
"Are you sure you saw Solus Prime?" G-force asked me with a hint of concern.
"She was gun metal gray and black, just like your description you gave me about her. She said something about danger on the road I travel, but….. I don't man" I sighed not trying to put too much thought on it.
"Well if it happens again, we got to tell Optimus… You want to listen to music" G-Force
"Sure, let me connect my IPhone" I said. And I picked one of my songs.
Ridin Dirty – Chamillionarie
They see me rollin
They hatin
Patrolling they tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Me and G-Force were nodding our heads to the beat, which so turned into dancing, all the way to base.
Autobot base
The other kids having already made it to base, had a little fun with their own human charges before coming back. When Me and G-force have arrived, with the windows down and blasting the final verse of the song. We got a few questionable/annoyed looks.
Story POV
"Do you mind lowering that?" Arcee yelled at us with an annoyed look. G-Force simply shut it, "Sorry, bad habit of ours"
"Autobots, prepare to-" Prime cut himself off as he turned to his team.
"Roll out?" Arcee said trying to guess Primes sentence, but Optimus changed his initial plans. "Remain here, Ratchet, you'll come with me, Arcee will be outside communications range for quite some time, and so I'm putting you in charge" Prime finished. Prime knew that Arcee was the most Responsible out of everbot in his team, even if she is the smallest, she can take charge over anybot.
"Dude, your biggest, you should be the boss" Miko said, pointed to Bulkhead. "Uh he never picks me" he replied.
Arcee was a little angry that she was not going anywhere, but instead had to stay behind.
"Optimus, with all due respect, playing bodyguard is one thing, babysitting is another" Arcee said. She felt as if her talents out on the field would be wasted here with the kids. Jack simply sighed and walked away. "Besides Ratchet hasn't been in the field since the war". Hoping that Opitmus would change his decision.
"My pistons maybe rusty but my hearing is as sharp as ever" Ratchet replied to Arcee's comment. Ratchet was not the type of bot who liked to be called old, even though he is cranky sometimes. "For the moment, its only reconinsense" Optimus stated.
"Then why do I hear an edge in your voice?" she replied with concern. "Arcee much has changed in the last 24 hours, and we all need to adapt. Ratchet bridge us out". Ratchet powered up the groundbrigde and soon was teleported to their destination.
"Ok chief so uh, what's on the activities list? Jack broke the silence to Arcee since she was in charge of the base. But she simply rolled her eyes and said "I'm going on patrol".
"Jeez what crawled up her tailpipe and died" I whispered to myself
"Hold on, I'll come with you" Velocity said.
"But Optimus told us to stay" Bulkhead interrupted.
"When you're in charge you can call the shots. Bee with us" Bumblebee whirled in disappointment of not being able to hang out with Raf. "Bulkhead you're in charge" she said as the three transformed and drove out of base.
"Rude" G-force said
"So uh, what's on the activities list?" He asked as Miko plugged her guitar into a speaker, which made Bulkhead flinch. "How about band practice? "She said.
'Where the hell did she get those speakers' I thought. "But were not a band" Raf said, not understanding were Miko was going with this. "Why so anti-social, come on Raf you play anything?" She replied hoping to ease Raf into the idea. Raf did not play an instrument so the only thing that was close to him, was his laptop. "Um...Keyboard?" "Laptops and symbols, good." Miko knew that visual effect, lighting, and sound were very important to a band's performance. She then turned her attention to Jack. "Jack?"
"I... sometimes mess around on the harmonica" he said looking away, and putting a hand behind is neck, knowing that the harmonica is used very little in music, except for a few genres. Miko frowned with disappointment and got right in Jack's face.
"Do I look like I do country? Just cover yourself in fake blood and jump around screaming" She then walked over to me. "Justin do you play anything?" "Sorry Miko the only thing I play is video games, and I can only dance to music, not play music." I replied.
"Then sing if you can." Bulkhead, G-Force, on percussion, will go for a big industrial sound. D.I.Y were a band. You just got to learn the songs, this one's a ballad. MA Fist, Yo Face". She then started to rock out. Everyone covered their ears. Until and alarm sounded. Proximity sensor, quick, hide. And so we did.
Agent Fowler came walking out of the elevator asking for Prime. Bulkhead told him he was not at base and no one else except for him. He asked about the huge explosion of the mine in the middle of Nebraska. We would have been fine until Miko's guitar started making sounds. He looked down and saw the wire connected the speakers. "Since when are you bots electric." Since there was no way out of this we came out from behind Bulkhead foot. "Hey how's it going" Jack asked. Then Agent Fowler stars going on a rant and heads down the stairs. And say he'll take us all into federal custody. But Bulkhead block him and said they were protecting us. Fowler then moves to an old payphone way to the phone to call the Pentagon but Bulkhead broke it, trying to end the call saying it was 'Out of Order'. "This is not over Bigfoot, not by a long shot." He soon made his leave.
He Left in his helicoptor "Sir, Agent Fowler, we have situation, I'm in route from the Autobot base, ill brief you in person"
Little did he know the Cons pick up the transmission? Starscream asked Soundwave to bring fowler to him instead so Soundwave sent laserbeak after him. Agent Fowler used all of his military training to fight of the con. Unfortunaly, his chopper was destroyed and laserbeak carried him off the Decepticons. Luckily for Fowler, he send out an SOS.
Another alarm went off at the base. Turns out it was an SOS from Fowler. Raf ask if Bulk trace it but he said the transmission was incomplete and said "Oh well"
"Oh well? Seriously?" Jack yelled in disbelief, knowing the bots should help "What? Fowlers a jerk" he replied
"Whoa, whether you like the guy or not the Decepticons may have him"
"And Agent Fowler knows your location... our location" Raf said with a hint a fear
"And did we not just witness how fast he backed down from a bot, the cons will totally make him squeal" Miko added.
"Which means, that they will know everything about us. Capture us, and kill us, we have to get him" I finished.
"Their right Bulk, as much as I have a dislike for that guy, we have to find him and get him back." G-Force added
"But we lost the transmission, Fowler could be anywhere" But Raf said he can track it by hacking into the Feds mainframe. He said that all agents have a tracking chip within Fowler. But Raf said he saw it on TV.
"You know how to hack, but you're like 2 years old" Miko said in disbelief
"12... and 1/4" he said with a smile. And so Raf went to work, bypassing every firewall the government had, and then, using the satellites to pin point Fowler's Location. "Ok wait here." Bulkhead said as he tuned on the groundbridge. Just as he was about to leave, he quickly looked at Jack. "Uh… G-Force, you're in charge." He said as he ran through the bridge.
"I guess we have the base all to ourselves now" G said.
But then I notice something
"Hey, where's Miko?"
Everyone went quit before looking to the deactivate groundbridge. "Uh oh"
Grand Canyon
Miko had quietly followed Bulkhead to see some action, but shortly after Bulkhead knew of Miko's presence she quickly became a target by a patrolling drone. After Bulkhead smashed the con to protect Miko. Bulkhead quickly called for Backup.
"Arcee, do you read" he said over the comms hiding behind a huge rock
"Loud and Clear Bulkhead" she said driving down the road with Bee, and Velocity.
"I have a situation"
"Bulkhead their children, humans, just do what ever" she replied not wanting to go back and waste time help Bulkhead with the humans. But Bulkhead told them there situation
"..."
"YOUR WHERE?"
"..."
"SHE'S WHERE?"
"…"
"What should we do, Bulkhead doesn't relised that Miko followed him" Raf worried.
"Miko has not seen the Bots in action like we have. She has no idea" Jack replied, worrying about Miko.
"The co-oordiates are still locked in the computer"
"Ok" we looked to see G-Force open the groundbridge. "Justin, you're in charge" he said as he ran through. The base go real quiet.
"I can't stand-by and do nothing while my friend risks his life. Im going to help" I said as I travel down the stairs before a hand on my shoulder held me back, which belong to Jack.
"Are you crazy, you'll get hurt or worse, killed if you go."
"Jack are you forgetting that I have powers" I smiled.
One Bridge to Grand Canyon later
Soon we came out the bridge the first thing we notice was the giant Decepticon ship: The Nemesis
"That is one big ass mother-"
"You There, Freeze!" one drone shouted
I notice that G-Force was behind Bulkhead. I then turned to Jack and Raf and said "Put your hands up, I have a plan" I said with a smirk.
Optimus and Ratchet
They soon stumble upon a canyon full of dead Cybertronians. And soon Megatron showed up. Standing on a high rock tower.
"Optimus, been well? I see you brought your, trusty watch dog. I was certain he be in scrapyard by now" Megatron said
"Why don't you invite him down here for a check" Ratchet said as he pounded his fists. "I know why your here Megatron" Prime stated
"Hardly a surprise Optimus, after all you and I have been at this a long time, and your time has come to an end." Megatron then threw the dark crystal to the ground and dissolve onto it. the ground satrted to glow
"RISE MY ARMY" Megatron shouted
Soon the dead started to rise and come back to life
"By the AllSpark" Ratchet whispered
"BEHOLD THE POWER OF DARK ENERGON"
