A/N: Well here it is the fourth chapter of the story! I kind of rushed the Decepticon threat in to it this time (I don;t want to be TOO slow). So I hope you enjoy the story! Don't forget to review and give me your feedback!
MissShelz: Haha yeah he does
SiriusBlackFan2: I kind of made it so that their personalities clash (they're both stubborn as hell lol). I will introduce more Autobots later for Oneshot to interact with (After I am sure I have their personalities down)
wolf-shadow666: Haha yeah, each of those wrenchs has a story (Which reminds me of a Fanfic Idea I might soon develop). Yeah that microcon made con was scary a shell (but in a way cool)
Luna636: Yeah hopefully haha! I kind of rushed the Decepticon threat in to the story this time (hopefully nto too fast) so that I could keep it interesting. Too many fillers are not all that great
"Is it me, or are you suddenly growing a lot faster than normal?" Abby asked, staring down at Oneshot. He stared at her curiously for a few seconds before realizing she was right, having grown a few inches taller over the night. Not only that, but his frame was starting to feel unbearably tight.
"Wow you're right, I'm growing! Hooray" Oneshot cheered, practically dancing around the kitchen. Abby watched in amusement, trying to fix a bowl of cereal at the same time. The result ended in a large puddle of milk and several swear words from Abby. She glanced at Oneshot, who was trying his hardest not to laugh.
"Don't ever repeat those words again please" Abby said, ducking down to retrieve a sponge from the cabinet below. While she did this, Oneshot walked over to the window and looked outside. He had heard a faint noise and was curious about what it was. To his delight, he saw Bumblebee parked outside. The Autobot must have noticed, revving his engine when Oneshot appeared in the window. The little bot smiled brightly at the sight and looked behind him at Abby.
"Mommy, Bumblebee is here!" he squealed at her while she finished cleaning up. She looked at him with a confused expression before she remembered what he was talking about. She had not really socialized with Bumblebee yesterday as much as Ironhide and Ratchet, so naturally she had forgotten all about him. She walked over to the window where he was and peeked out to see the yellow Camaro waiting for them.
"Whats he doing here..?" she muttered, frowning. She backed up from the window, grabbing her jacket and slipping it on before exiting the house. Oneshot followed closely behind.
"Probably to pick us up. Ironhide totaled the truck remember?" Oneshot said, running over to greet the Autobot. Bumblebee greeted the sparkling with a series of chirps, clicks, and whirs. Oneshot, having no idea what he had said, merely smiled. Abby was lost as well as she walked to the passenger side, the door opening for her.
"Thanks Bumblebee" she said, climbing in while Oneshot clambered in to the back. As soon as they were secure, Bumblebee took off down the road. Abby went to grab her phone from her bag, only to realize she had left it behind.
"Oh wait dammit, Bumblebee we need to turn back. I left my bag" she said in an apologetic tone. The Autobot slowed down to a stop before making a U-turn, heading back towards her house. Oneshot stretched out in the back, watching as his mother exited Bumblebee and headed towards the house. She disappeared in the house after a few seconds at the door.
"Hey Bumblebee, how come you were talking so weird? Can you talk?" Oneshot asked curiously, remembering the strange noises Bumblebee had made earlier. The car vibrated for a moment before Bumblebee spoke.
"You..did not understand?" his voice came through the radio, sounding confused. He had been speaking cybertronian, the native language of their race. He had thought that the sparkling would have elarned it before coming to Earth, but apparently not.
"No I didn't, was I supposed to?" Oneshot asked, just as confused as Bumblebee. He had grown up speaking English his whole life, so he did not know any other language.
"It's our native language; I assumed you had been taught it before you arrive don Earth, but apparently not" Bumblebee replied, sending a quick message to Ratchet while he did so. The old medic had wanted to do a few more check-ups today on the sparkling. Bumblebee hoped he was up to teaching cybertronian as well.
"Sorry, I'm back. I forgot where I had put my bag, but I found it" Abby said, rushing out the door. She nearly forgot to lock it, only to be reminded by Oneshot. She climbed in to the passenger seat and allowed Bumblebee to strap them in again. He took off down the road for the second time, adding a little more speed. The others were expecting him to be there earlier then he was going to be.
"Wait Bumblebee, I can't go to the base. I have a job" Abby said, suddenly realizing where they were heading. Bumblebee slowed and pulled off the road, confused. He had been told to bring them straight to the base, not anywhere else.
"I was told to bring you straight to the base..." he said, unsure of what to do. Oneshot said nothing, sprawled out in the backseat recharging. He had grown bored after the first ten minutes, and before long, decided to recharge to pass the time.
"Yeah well I have more important things to do then by babysat in a military base. My boss is already mad at me for missing my first day yesterday, I can't miss today or I'll be fired" Abby explained, trying to convince Bumblebee to drop her off at work. The scout thought it over for a few minutes before coming to a decision.
"All right, I'll drop you off. Where is it?" Bumblebee asked, roaring to life and shifting back on to the road once more. Abby only had to tell him the name of the business so that he could look it up and locate it. After about a minute of senseless driving, Bumblebee plotted the course and took off down the road.
They arrived at her work about an hour later, Abby nearly tripping as she jumped out. She wanted to say goodbye to Oneshot, but she noticed that he was currently recharging. With a small smile, she thanked Bumblebee and took off in to the building. As soon as she entered, she was greeted by her very annoyed boss. She took a few minutes to come up with an excuse before finally being allowed to excuse herself. She walked in to the bathroom and set her bag down. She peeked inside to find something very odd.
"What are these? Hmm, must be Oneshot's" Abby muttered, picking up a small metallic ball. Inside her bag was even more, taking up a lot of the space. With a sigh, she set it back in the bag and began redoing her hair in the mirror. She had not been able to fix it when she was at home. The ball vibrated in her bag a little before shifting in to their microbot forms, chewing a small hole through the bottom of her bag and sneaking out.
They clung to the bottom of the sink as they moved towards the ground. They crawled on to the wall and then to the ground, gathering up underneath. As soon as they were all together, they began to climb on to each other. microbot after microbot began to connect, a strange form begging to materialize. Finally, after they were all together, a strange and thin creature known as Reedman was formed. It was a mantis like creature, only visible from certain angles. It crawled around quietly underneath the sink, waiting for the human to leave. While it waited, it sent a quick message containing information to Ravage.
The Decepticat was prowling around, waiting for Reedman to respond. His claws dug in to the ground as his patience wore thin, wanting to set the plan in to motion. He hid in several bushes from human eyes, not wanting to blow his cover. It would be trouble for them if the Autobots interfered. After a few more minutes of waiting, he finally received information form Reedman. To his delight, he found out that the Autobot's had left the human unguarded.
"Ravage to Starscream, the human is unguarded" Ravage spoke through a private comm link between him and Soundwave. He most certainly did not want any of the Autobot's to pick up on their conversation. He paced back in forth in the bushes, waiting for the signal to move out.
Soundwave had returned to Earth almost immediately after the Fallen had been destroyed, taking on the form of a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, currently stationed on the other side of the large city. He was also currently waiting outside, aware of the Energon detectors guarding the city. Along with him were several Decepticons, including Shockwave and Starscream. Megatron was not among them, currently residing in Africa.
"Soundwave acknowledges. Proceed cautiously" Soundwave replied, taking the lead as the group of Decepticons began to pour in to the city. On the other side, Ravage eagerly dashed in to the city as well. They were all aware of the Energon detectors, hoping that they could get to the human before the Autobots even noticed.
Bumblebee arrived at NEST base with a few minutes to spare, waking the recharging sparkling as they entered the building slowly. Oneshot jolted upward, dazed for a moment, before realizing that they had arrived. Bumblebee opened one of his doors to allow the sparkling to climb out before transforming. The two were approached almost immediately by Ratchet, soon followed by Ironhide.
"Primus Bee, you took a lot longer then you were supposed to. Were you enjoying the scenery?" Ironhide asked, glancing form him to the sparkling. To his surprise, Oneshot ran over to him with a delighted expression.
"Hi Ironhide!" he squealed, gesturing for the taller mech to pick him up. Ironhide complied, gently picking up the sparkling and setting him on his shoulder. It was then that he realized Oneshot looked incredibly uncomfortable. Ratchet noticed to, scanning him once he was stationary on Ironhide.
"Sparkling, your frame appears to be too small for you. It needs to be replaced" Ratchet said taking a few more scans. He noticed that Oneshot had grown a few inches overnight, probably due to the new Energon in his system. Ratchet guessed that the human gasoline had been stunting his growth over the past years.
"Yeah I know. Mommy said she would start building after she got off from work" Oneshot explained, shifting uncomfortably. He had ignored the tightness of the frame until now, suddenly feeling like he was being squeezed. He did not know how long he could bear it.
"Work..? Wait Bumblebee you were supposed to bring the human here as well" Ratchet said, turning to stare at the Autobot. Bumblebee suddenly felt uncomfortable, not knowing how to respond without the risk of a wrench to the helm. He looked up at Ratchet with an apologetic expression.
"She said she had to work and refused to come along…so I took her to where she requested and then came here" Bumblebee explained, backing away slowly. He watched cautiously as the two older mechs processed the information. It was then that he was force dot duck as a wrench materialized in the air and flew at him. He transformed and sped off before he could be attacked again, nearly running in to Swideswipe as he came speeding along. The two cursed, narrowly avoiding what could have been a devastating accident.
"Want me to tell Prime? I'm sure he'll want someone over there to watch her" Ironhide commented, handing Oneshot over to Ratchet. The little bot squealed in delight, thinking about the Energon. Ratchet took the sparkling and transformed around him, Oneshot eventually ending up in the passenger seat.
"He would want to know. You do that while I take the sparkling to get measurements for his new frame. He needs it badly" Ratchet said, taking off and leaving Ironhide to his thoughts. Ironhide transformed as well and was about to find Prime when the alarms went off. Humans poured out from several hallways, armed and ready for combat. Ironhide looked around until he found Lennox and Epps in as mass of other humans. He drove towards them, opening his doors for them to climb in.
"What the frag is going on?" Ironhide asked, roaring to life as they prepared to take off. Sideswipe joined them along with Bumblebee and Optimus. Behind them Oneshot came running, having snuck off while Ratchet disappeared. Looking around at the vehicles, he snuck in to one of the normal vehicles and hid under the seat. He wanted to know what was going on and wanted to be there to see it.
"Energon detectors caught several Decepticons pouring in to the city. We don't know what they're up to, but we need to move fast. They seemed to be heading towards one location" Lennox replied, loading his weapon while Ironhide took off with the others. Bumblebee drove beside them, also carrying humans.
"Fragging Decepticons, where are they headed?" Ironhide asked as they continued moving. He ignored the yelling of the humans surrounding them, trying to focus on Lennox.
"They appear to be heading towards a company that deals with robotics in the center of the city" Lennox replied, causing Bumblebee to swerve. The Autobot felt the guilt rising as he spoke up.
"That's…where Abby works" he said, speeding up to meet with Sideswipe. Behind him, Ironhide felt the rage boiling as he remembered what Bumblebee had done. The human was left unprotected, now in the same building that the Decepticons were targeting. This only caused the group to speed up even more, weaving through traffic as they approached the same building. Unknown to Abby and the rest of the humans at work, a shitstorm was quickly approaching and they were about to be in the middle of it.
