"Okay now that the lovey dovey make-up session is over we can get back to work. " My dad said clearing his throat. "Guys there is something serious going down now We need to protect sentinel at ALL costs Sam believes he is the key to this whole thing and I believe him. Bee and the Lamborghini twins are bringing him this way. We all jumped as the decepticon warning signal ran through out base. "Glitch," I cussed as Jazz placed me down throwing a
"Stay here and be safe!" at me as he transformed into his alt mode I jumped onto his trunk screaming
"POP IT!" At him Jazz quickly threw his trunk open and I grabbed one of the small black backpacks before shutting it. As Jazz roared away I strapped the backpack around me tightly before sliding into Mudflap who screamed of in the direction of the fight.
"Hold on Jessie." Mudflap warned as we saw the Decepticon's attacking sentinel. 3, 2, 1. Mudflap counted down before transforming I ripped the cord on my backpack as a small shoot took me safely to the ground. I pulled out my usual weapons strapping on my thigh shield's placing my short knives and guns in them, popping my long broadswords across my back in my shoulder holders and stuffing my pockets with a variety of miniature weapons. In the short amount of time it took me to do this I watched as Sentinel became hostile towards the auto bots I wondered why and then it hit me he was a TRAITOR. I watched as Wheel jack steeped forwards to defend him and then Ironhide both of the dying as I watched Hyde fall to the floor I ran out screaming his name pulling his large metal figure into my arms crying as ratchet pulled us both away before trying to save Hyde. Satisfied he may have a chance at survival I sought out my revenge. Dodging the twins I ran straight over to Sentinel pulling out my two plasma guns that had been engineered by Hyde and Created by Wheel Jack for my thirteenth birthday I shot him where it hurts until I ran out of shots whilst sentinel was on the floor I pulled out my broadswords and began slashing at him screaming until he flung me away and onto the asphalt. Ignoring the pain I pulled out a couple of grenades and threw them at him before Jazz grabbed me and Sentinel began to run.
"What the HELL did you think you were doing?" Jazz screamed at me his sub boofers amplifying his rant. "You could have DIED! Did you ever think of what that would do to your Dad, Optimus, Hyde or even ME for that matter? How could you have been so reckless?" I let Jazz rant on curling up on his shoulders before whispering
"Do you think he's alright Jazz?" Jazz looked at me before sighing and quietly reassuring me.
"If Ratchet can bring me back from the dead and Optimus can bring Sentinel back he'll be fine. By the way your dad wants to yell at you, so does Optimus and Ratchet and Hyde will later I'm taking you to your dad first and the Optimus because they need something to take their minds of it and Yelling at you is the only thing tiding Ratchet and Hyde through."
"Yay!" I muttered as Jazz dropped me down in front of my dad and I hastily chucked the weapons from my pockets into my bag. Before facing my dad who immediately began yelling at me.
""What the HELL did you think you were doing? "You could have DIED! Did you ever think of what that would do to your me, I could be losing Hyde and I had to watch you out their fight Sentinel all the while thinking Why wasn't I protecting you and how I could have LOST you! War isn't a game Jessica so grow up." He stopped and took a massive breath but released it upon seeing the tears on my face and quickly re-assured me that Hyde was going to be fine and that I was banned from training with the bot's indefinitely. Jazz then scooped me up before placing me before a sombre Optimus who gave me a look that made me want to cry again.
"Jessica Lee Lennox/Prime I am very, very disappointed in you. What were you thinking you are not strong enough nor trained to take on a Decepticon on your own. You could have died youngling and neither I nor your father is ready to lose yet another powerful member of our family and training force tonight. You are a bright sparkling and an intelligent soldier uses this for good instead of putting themselves in danger. I know you have been shouted at a lot tonight and are tired and in need of a rest. So I will let you go after you promise to stay out of danger and keep Jazz with you at all times until further notice."
"Yes Optimus. I promise I'm sorry." I apologised before hugging Optimus's humungous metal food before he chuckled and held me up to his spark.
"I know sweetheart, I know." Optimus replied gently before handing me back to Jazz who put me on his shoulder.
"Can I go see Hyde?"
"Wait for Ratchet to come for you But I'll Text you as soon as he tells me that Iron hide's okay."
"You're the best Optimus thanks for not getting mad at me but you gotta understand it's like if Sentinel killed me Dad would have been out there if It was Mikeala Sam would have been out there if it was Sam be would have been out there,"
"Your forgetting that If Sentinel had hurt you, Jazz, Lennox, Both set's of twins, Ratchet, Hyde no matter what his condition, the Femme's and even Megatron himself would have been out there and after him."
I raised my eyebrows "Megatron?"
"Yes even Megatron I know for a fact all of his cons are under strict orders that you are to be brought straight to him in luxury and under NO circumstances harmed if you are ever harmed the bot, con or human who harmed you is to die."
"So that's why I kept running out of sparring partners," I joked as Optimus nodded seriously making my blue eyes go wide. "Wow,"
"Yes Wow, now go get some sleep or I'll set prowl on you."
'Yes sir," I snapped a lazy salute before Jazz took me to his berth and placed me up there before sitting on the end watching me. "Jazz," I whispered "I'm scared." Sighing Jazz scooped me up against his spark before lying down.
"Better?" He asked his optics glittering with amusement.
"Much," I replied snuggling down "Hey Jazz?" I mumbled
"Yes baby," Jazz replied sleepily
"Will you tell me a story?"
"Sure what type of story do you want to here?"
"One of our story's." I replied
"Alright this is a story about a very naughty little sparkling named Jess who was the little sparkling responsible for most of our base rules with help but Jess you see inspired this particular one all by herself. Jess was bored and looking for an as she called it artistic outlet this one particular Saturday. Ironhide was complaining about how many people tried to trespass on the base grounds. Needless to say the result was not what most would have expected." Jazz paused looking down at his charged who was staring at the ceiling
"What did she do?" I asked raptured by the familiar memory.
"Well Jess had one can of neon green spray paint from her last art project and access to the internet. It was only a matter of time before she found the quote. It took her a little longer to hack Red Alert's security system and loop the cameras. She got the base's tech expert Maggie's help for that. Then the naughty little sparkling spray painted the outer wall of the building closest to the entrance. It was a good hour before anyone found the result.
"Who exactly did this?" Optimus had growled as he looked at the base wall. Ultra Magnus, Elita, and Chromia who had just arrived stared blankly at the wall. Ironhide started to laugh. Ratchet and I both turned to Jess. The girl had flushed bright red but stood her ground.
"I was bored and technically this is Iron hide's fault," Jess had protested.
"How is this 'Hide's fault?" Chromia asked curious as she studied the words Jess had written "Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."
"He was the one complaining about people trying to sneak in. I was just trying to help," Jess said innocently as Iron hide roared with laughter. Optimus vented a heavy sigh and covered his face with a hand.
Jazz glanced at the Auto bot medic and then at his young charge before saying one word. "Run." Jess ran. Jazz looked down at his young charge in the present and watched as she slept. It had been a funny day when she had spray painted the wall and the look on Optimus's face had been priceless when he saw the graffiti and Jess's whilst she ran chuckling as she dodged Ratchet's wrenches. Jazz knew that Jess was going to have to go back home to Sam's place soon enough but he liked having her around and missed her when she was gone. In short she was really cute. Jazz watched his young charge sleep before a small voice belonging to ratchet echoed in the back of his mind telling him to re-charge. Deciding that a small angry Ratchet was better than a big real angry Ratchet Jazz closed his optic's and settled down to re-charge. Jazz was jolted awake the next morning by a scream Jess's scream! I opened my eyes to find myself tumbling down from Jazz's berth and heading scarily fast to ground I let out a scream as there was a flash of Yellow as Bee dives skidding across the ground catching me whilst glaring at Jazz as if to say. "Your fault." Terrified from my near death experience I pant holding onto bee with tears in my eyes that I refused to let fall. Jazz jumps down and takes me from Bee putting me on his shoulder as we walk into the hanger I can tell something's wrong.
