Hey hey hey, another day, another chapter. I'm really going to try and crank out at least one chapter per day, if not more. Review responses are after the chapter, thanks!

I don't own transformers. But I wish I had Peter Cullen's voice. Ah crap, I don't own him either.

Chapter 3: Power

Metal folded. Gyros twisted. Parts moved. Impossible mechanical movement occurred, and then, standing before Jake, were four new giant robots. One was taller than the rest, who's body was intimidating, but his face was gentle. Another one, however, looked as though it would blast Jake into oblivion without hesitation. Another was yellow, sleek, and cheerful-looking. And the last was knelt down, scanning Jake and had an observant look on his face. The Robot that was once the hummer stood, and turned to the semi.

"It's him, Optimus. He is the child." He said. The semi robot turned to Jake and knelt.

"My name is Optimus Prime. I am the commander of the Autobots. This is Ratchet, my medical expert." Optimus said, gesturing to the Hummer-robot.

"This is Ironhide, my weapons expert." Optimus gestured towards the aggressive, black robot when he said this.

'Figures…' Jake thought. Optimus then pointed to the yellow robot, that the other boy was now standing on.

"This is Bumblebee. My Recon expert." The yellow robot straightened up in a symbol of pride in his work. Jake stood, still in awe, taking in this seemingly impossible sight. Ironhide seemed to grow impatient. Bumblebee nudged Optimus and gestured towards the other boy.

"Ah! Of course. And this, is Sam Witwicky. He is a human that has been with Bumblebee since he came to earth." Sam nodded to Jake, smiling.

"What's up? Quite a sight, huh?" He said. Jake took a breath.

"Yea…you can say that again. So…er…Optimus…what are we all here for?" Jake asked. Optimus looked to Broadsword.

"I trust Broadsword has told you the details?" Jake looked back at Broadsword, who nodded.

"Yea, he has…except for two things. One, how did I get this…Allspark power in me, and two, what does that power do…other than heal entire planets?" Jake asked. Optimus nodded, and turned to Ratchet, who started to speak.

"You were born with this power, Jake. This was probably caused by an encounter with one of our kind by one of your ancestors, or by Primus himself blessing you. Judging that you are so surprised, it was probably the latter reason. And as to what this power can do…if any of our kind is damaged, you can heal them. You can fix any mechanical object just by concentrating on it, or touching it. You can speak to us telepathically. You can 'sense' us. You can bring anything Mechanical to life. And, of course, you can heal Cybertron." Jake took a moment to take it all in. But there was one thing that started to bug him…

"Wait, I've never been able to do any of those things before. I had no idea Broadsword was one of you until he transformed…and I've never been able to magically fix things…" Jake trailed off. All of this was true, he had no idea about any of these powers. Ratchet nodded.

"Of course you haven't. These powers will manifest once you come into direct contact with the Allspark. And even then, it will take a while for you to develop the power to heal Cybertron." Ratchet began fishing into a side compartment in his leg. A puzzled look came over Jake's face.

"If the Allspark was destroyed with Megatron, how will I-…"

"Taken care of." Ratchet interjected, pulling a small piece of what looked like black rock out of his leg compartment. He knelt down and opened his hand. Upon further inspection, Jake could see that if was, in fact, not a rock, but very thick metal. He could see a few symbols written on the metal, but Jake had never seen them before and had no idea what they meant. Jake looked back up at Broadsword, then to Ratchet.

"So…do I just have to…touch it?" Ratchet nodded.

"It's not going to…hurt…is it?" Jake asked. Ratchet made a face of uncertainty, and looked back to Optimus. Ratchet heaved what Jake could only interpret as a sigh.

"Not at first…but your mind will have to adapt to the new power. You may not feel anything, or you maybe feel the worst pain you've ever felt." Ratchet was being blunt. Very blunt. But truth be told, Jake would rather have it that way than sugar-coated. Jake nodded. Jake heard Broadsword bend down behind him. Jake turned around.

"Do not fear. What you are about to do is for the good of Cybertron, and by extension, Earth. Be strong." Broadsword said. Those were the first kind words that Jake had heard from Broadsword. Jake could tell that Broadsword was very wise, if not as wise as Optimus supposedly was. Jake smiled at him, and Broadsword smiled back. Jake could feel a connection with him, like he was destined to be more than just his transportation. Perhaps he could be his Guardian, like Bumblebee is to Sam-

"Jake?" Ratchet pulled Jake out of his thoughts. Jake hesitated for a moment, but then reached out. His hand hovered over the object for a moment, and Jake wondered if the heat emanating from it was from the object itself or from Ratchet. Jake took a breath, and touched the Allspark.

Ratchet was right. He didn't feel the pain, at first. At first it felt amazing, like all of his good experiences in life all happening at once. He felt unlimited energy flowing into his body. Jake would relate the experience to being born, not that anyone who ever relates any experience to birth would remember birth anyway. But then Jake felt the pain. It suddenly felt like he was on fire, like every cell in his body was bursting into flames. He wanted to scream, but nothing came out. Suddenly, he felt as though he was being electrocuted, and he lost consciousness.

When Jake awoke, he didn't feel cold dirt. He felt warm, moving metal. He couldn't hear anything at first…but when his hearing returned, he wished that it never did. He heard gunfire, explosions, shouting, and the sound the Autobots made when they transformed. Jake opened his eyes. After a quick look around, Jake realized that he was being held in one arm by Broadsword, who had him tucked against his chest. He was firing some sort of cannon from his other arm, and running. Jake squirmed to look at when he was shooting at. The first thing Jake saw was a Police Car.

'Oh shit, just what we need…the Police.' Suddenly, the car began to shift, and it transformed into a robot roughly the size of Bumblebee. And Jake assumed from the horribly menacing look on his face that he was not friendly. Broadsword fired a shot, but the Police Car rolled out of the way and snarled.

"Broadsword!" Jake shouted. Broadsword looked down at him, and a relieved expression crossed his face.

"Thank Primus. Can you walk?" Jake stretched his legs out a little.

"Yea, I think so. Let me down!" He shouted. Broadsword nodded, and gently lowered him to the ground. Jake hopped off, and stumbled a little on landing. Once he regained his balance, Jake spotted Sam ducking down behind an upturned crane.

"Jake! Get to Sam! We need to keep both of you together!" Optimus shouted from a ways across the battlefield. Optimus had a bright, glowing orange sword protruding from his arm, and was fighting what looked to be a giant Scorpion. Jake dashed over to Sam, and stuck his back against the crane. Sam turned around and looked Jake over.

"You alright?" He shouted. Jake nodded. Jake peered over the top of the crane to see Ironhide punt the giant scorpion a good distance. He had the urge to scream 'It's good!', but he felt it really wasn't the time.

"What happened?" Jake asked Sam. Sam swallowed hard, ducked when a missile landed near the crane, and then started to speak.

"You passed out after you touched the Spark piece. Broadsword picked you up, and we were on our way back north when we got attacked." Sam said, hurriedly. Jake took a peek back over the crane. He watched as Broadsword delivered a strong punch to the chest of the Police Car, sending him reeling.

"So those are Decepticons, huh?" Jake asked. Sam nodded.

"…Uglier than I expected, really." Jake said. Sam turned to him, and started laughing. Jake joined him. They laughed for a good ten seconds before an explosion sent the crane flying.

END OF CHAPTER 3

Skipz: That's the one thing I'm having trouble with. I'm not sure where to weave them into the story. But I'll try! I plan for Jake to go to the Hoover Dam at some point in the story. They'll more than likely be there.

RoyalBlueDragon: Wow, I'm honored! As I said, one or more chapters a day. I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Fk306: Was this fast enough? Haha, enjoy.

Elita One: Thanks a lot, I'm definitely going to continue.

Psychic-Ghost: It was more of an accidental imitation that stuck. I remember being in the theatre seeing it, and when the car drove away, I said 'Man, I would be screaming my head off'…and then Sam started screaming. Haha.

Mmmmkay, THANKS so much to everyone who reviewed.

Next Chapter: Combat, and the Government tells Jake's parents that he's going on a…trip…
