HAPPY (early) FOURTH OF JULY!
I made this a little longer to apologies for not updating yesterday.
I won't update tomorrow or Friday because a new Transformers: Prime episode is coming out. And (spoiler alert) I heard that Soundwave is getting intaorgated. So I can't wait.
Hope you enjoy!
I finished explaining The Purge to the Autobots…they didn't look pleased…I didn't really except them too.
Bulkhead had his mouth hanging open, his blue optics wide at what I had just told him.
Bumblebee was looking at everyone, he looked scared and terrified.
Arcee didn't look like she believed me.
Ratchet had stopped scanning my mom to stare at me.
And Optimus, well, I could tell that he didn't quite believe me either.
"What do you mean 'no legal thing'?" Ratchet asked, standing up and marching towards me.
I sighed again. Quite frankly, I didn't want to explain it again. "Everything is legal" I repeated slowly. "It's something that was created way before I was born" I stated.
"And you didn't bother telling us about this 'Purge'?" Arcee asked.
"I was hoping that The Purge would stop…I guess the government likes it to much" I said quietly.
Bumblebee gave some whirls and beeps that I didn't understand at all.
"Yeah" Bulkhead snapped, "where's Rafael and Miko?"
"There fine!" I exclaimed, limping my way towards a wall so I could lean on it. "Miko's house is locked up and Raf has a gun in his hands!"
Bumblebee gasped and stumbled backwards, Spitting out whirls and beeps of protest. I knew that he didn't believe me that Rafael has a gun in his hands. When I heard about it I didn't believe him either. It was too hard to imagine.
"He's fine. Both him and Miko are fine" I said, still hoping that was true.
"I don't understand…" Bulkhead said after a long moment of silence. "…The humans are basically just as bad as the cons?"
"Sometimes even worse" I admitted, shifting very uncomfortably while I was trying to sit down.
"It's a government thing" Fowler said, stepping back as Ratchet activated his holoform to look over my mom more closely.
"Agent Fowler" Optimus started, "you act so…calm about this"
I snorted inwardly, now someone else notices something was up. Fowler didn't even mention the worst part that he killed a teenage boy!
"Prime, I've been through this for a long time and I wasn't touched once…"
"That's not the point!" Ratchet snapped, whipping around. "Agent Fowler, there are many lives that are being killed! You can't be calm about this! Do you know what the cons will do when they find out about this—?"
"If they find out about this!" Fowler snapped back at Ratchet.
I gulped; the gun he used to kill Vince wasn't too far away from him. He could easily harm my unconscious
Mother and then shoot me!
"The cons will never find out, you know how they are disgusted by humans. Why would they participate in a human game" Fowler asked
"You think as this as a game?" Arcee snapped her head around and knelt down to go face-to-face to Fowler.
I knew that it wasn't going to turn out right. If Fowler kept this up at this rate the autobots will probably snap and break there rule to not killing humans. And if they didn't I might have too. Even if he did save me! He's acting like The Purge is a good idea and that people don't actually get hurt.
Fowler placed his hands on his hips and stuck up his nose, "It's a game" he repeated
And Arcee snarled. She took a step backwards, making sure not to run into Ratchet who had turned back to my mom.
"Fowler, if this really is a game then why don't you do out there and sit in the middle of the road with nothing to protect your for 12 hours!" Bulkhead snapped and Bumblebee whirled an agreement.
Fowler shot back something but I didn't pay attention. I felt my phone buzz and I reached into my pocket to pick it up. My heart plummeted when I saw the caller ID. I was Miko. I flipped it open and pressed it to my ear.
I didn't hear a cheery 'Hi' I got a terrified and scared, "Help!"
"Miko, what's wrong" I said loud enough so that everyone would stop talking and pay attention.
"Jack…It's the cons!" she gasped out, she was definitely crying. "There here…there outside they got my foster parents!"
"Who?" I asked, trying not to go into a panic attack myself.
"I-I don't know…Jack, I'm scared" she cried softly.
I was about to answer when I heard the con that was attacking her house speak.
"Miko…come out, come out, where ever you are and your creators won't get hurt!"
"It's Starscream" I exclaimed, I meant to think it back it came out.
I looked up when I said that and I saw Bulkhead. His optics was in narrow slits. His fist clutched together. "Tell Miko I am coming" he growled angrily.
"Miko, sit tight. Were on are way—" I froze when Starscream spoke. "Soundwave…" after that the line clicked and it went to static.
Bulkhead growled.
"Bulkhead!" I yelled, trying to stand up on my feet as fast as I could without putting to much presser on my knee. "I'm coming with you!"
"Oh, no your not" Ratchet snapped. "You need your knee to be checked out!"
"I'm going with! I will not let Starscream hurt Miko!" I yelled at Ratchet.
"Are you getting in or what?" Bulkhead asked, transforming and driving closer towards me. I glared at Ratchet before climbing into Bulkhead. As soon as I closed the door he sped off.
I looked in the mirror… Arcee was yelling at Fowler with all the bots backing her up. Then I couldn't see anymore. We left the base and were in the mercy of the world.
Bulkhead didn't stop for anything. I could tell he wanted to kill Starscream. I looked out the window from my place on the passenger seat. Blood was everywhere. What disturbed me the most was the decapitated arm that was left on the street. A gun shop was broken into and I saw a group of older men with a couple women walking about, each having machetes in there hand or a gun.
"A Purge party" I muttered.
"Now what is a purge party?" Bulkhead snapped.
"Were a group of friends get together to kill people" I said sadly and softly. The group made there
Way were most of our homeless people hide and disappeared behind the alley.
Bulkhead sped up, ignoring the looks that people gave him as they walked around looking for their next target.
"I didn't realize that humans were coldblooded just like the decepticons" Bulkhead muttered.
He made a sharp left turn. My knee banged against the center console. I gave a small cry and gripped the dash broad.
I looked up and almost gasped. Miko's house was in a richest neighborhood in Jasper Nevada.
The grass was green and every house was locked so that nobody could get in. the houses were perfectly painted white, not to mention huge.
Bulkhead stopped abruptly. I opened the door and got out of Bulkhead. Limping, away from Bulkhead. He quickly transformed, not worried about anyone seeing him.
I limped slowly onto the grass. The barriers were broken and windows were shattered. I kept walking with Bulkhead quickly behind me. I stepped on something.
Looking down, I gagged. Miko's foster parents were dead. It was overkill. Starscream made sure to take his time. Both of them were in a tangled mess. Clumps of hair were over the grass and flying across with the wind.
Bulkhead frowned, "Starscream is gonna pay!" he growled running towards the house.
I followed. He turned and went to the backward while I got to the door. I tried opening the door but it was locked. Cursing, I walked towards the shattered window. I pulled myself to get over the window frame and into the house, even with the burning pain in my knee.
"Miko" I whispered quietly. "Miko, where are you?"
Silence.
I walked slowly through the large house. I was terrified to run into a con, I would get killed instantly. I found the stairs quickly and walked up them. Pulling myself with the handrail. When I made it upstairs I noticed blood splattered on the walls.
I tried ignoring it. "Miko" I whispered again.
"Jack?"
I ran as fast as I could with a shattered knee. I opened a closest door that was in the hallway. Sure enough, Miko was hiding in it. Her hair wasn't its usual self; it was tied in a ponytail. She was curled up, his cheeks stained with tears. "Miko, we have to get you out of here" I said.
"Jack, stay quiet. They'll find you!" she whispered.
"Miko, Bulkhead is taking care of them" I said back to her, kneeling on my not broken knee.
"No, no, no" she shook her head grabbing her hair, "there in here!"
"What?" I asked.
"It's Sou—" before she finished a barking dog caught my attention.
Standing, I turned around.
There stood a very slender man. About 6 feet tall. He had dark black glasses and I couldn't see his eyes. He had black hair with dark purple streaks in them. He was wearing black everything except for the small amounts of purple. He held an ax in his hands, holding it tightly.
His dog was a Rottweiler.
I gulped, "Soundwave"
Yes, the Rottweiler is Laserbeak. Thanks for reading!
