IDK007: *in the Decepticon base staring at the ceilng* *le sigh*
Barricade: *watching TV* Stop that.
IDK007: *confused* doing what?
Barricade: Sighing. You've been doing that for 5 hours and I am so tempted to blast the next person who walks into the room because of your obnoxious sighing.
IDK007: *stares at guardian in silence*
Barricade: Better. Now-
IDK007: *sighs and roars then rolls around on the floor*
Barricade: *looks at charge with a bored look* Seriously?
*Thundercracker walks in and stops and stares at authoress on the floor rolling around*
TC: *turns to Barricade* is this normal?
Barricade: With her? Yes. Could you do the disclaimer for her? She says I am no longer allowed to.
TC: *shrugs* Whatever. IDK007 does not own Transformers and only owns her OCs. Please R&R. *walks back out of the room and Barricade continues watching TV while authoress falls asleep*
A/N: WARNING! CURSING AHEAD!
Previously on Like Fathers:
She stopped and her visor glowed bright green and pulled out her sword. Her hands were shaking. Why is she acting like this? I was getting worried until I realized why she was acting that way. Right behind her was a big huge cage with long glowing pink bars, but that's not what terrified us or her. Because right behind those giant glowing bars were two floating purple eyes looking straight at us in anger.
Ch. 7 How Can it Be?
I gulped in fear and looked between it and her. She looked at it in fear, but in a flash she glared at it.
"Who or what the hell are you?"
It's optics moved to her and seemed to be surprised then turned into confusion.
"You... You reek of both Autobot and Decepticon, but surprisingly of the great leaders of Cybertron during the war."
I was shocked. The Decepticons have made peace with the Autobots and now work together with soldiers, but there is no way she works with them. Though how did she get close to Optimus Prime and Megatron without being caught for trespassing? Her reaction only proved my theory of her working with them.
"Who or what the fuck are those?! And don't avoid my question!"
He, by the voice, seemed amused and chuckled which seemed to piss her off even more.
"Now, now, sparkling. No need to be angry. I want to help."
She snorted.
"Yeah you do. And I want to actually follow orders for once."
The giant thing seemed to look as if he were smiling and laughed whole heartedly which caused the room to shake.
"What the hell is so funny?!" she asked being thoroughly annoyed.
"I am sorry, sparkling. It's just no one has ever acted this way in front of me before."
"Tch! I wonder why," she asked sarcastically.
He seemed to smirk.
"You have no idea."
Her glare seemed to soften, but it was still terrifying.
"You got a name or do I call you asswipe, asswipe?"
He chuckled.
"My designation is Nitrospark."
She nodded.
"Love to tell you mine, but I'm in a hurry," she said while turning her back to Nitrospark and looked back up at the ceiling.
"I already know your name, Captain, but if you wish to keep it secret-"
She turned back to Nitrospark and her glare returned to its original intensity.
"It's Captain Witwicky. Now shut it, asswipe!"
She started showing how much she was tired of Nitrospark's presence. He chuckled.
"A very fiesty sparkling, aren't you?"
She scowled and cursed.
"Don't make me change my mind on freeing you!"
"Wait! What?! You're going to let him out?!"
She turned to me with a bored look through her visor.
"We have no other choice, besides, he may be our only ticket out of here."
She turned to him and she pulled out a gun that resembled a hand held shotgun.
"I'd stand back if I were you and that includes you two, too."
I nodded and we stood back and Nitrospark moved away from the bars. She pulled the trigger and fired four loud and powerful shots at the cage which seemed to react and started glowing bright until it shattered into tiny pieces. She put her shotgun away and Nitrospark came into view. If he didn't look big from behind the cage, then he definitely surpassed it. He walked into the light and had silver and black skin of metal. He had armor that covered his chest, legs, neck, tail, and face. Nitrospark is a big, giant, metal-
"Dragon...," Captain Witwicky said in awe.
He looked at us but seemed to watch the captain more. Something flashed out of his optics and hit the captain. She jumped in surprise and backed toward us and put herself in between us and Nitrospark. His optics dimmed then became bright again. He looked straight at her.
"You are injured."
"What?" I asked.
He moved closer to us and I moved my granddaughter behind and the captain put her arm in front of us and moved us back.
"You are injured, sparkling. You need medical attention." He sounds really concerned for her... but why? He doesn't even know her. Let alone, she probably has no clue on who or what he is either.
"Does it really hurt, captain?" my granddaughter asked worried.
She turned to look at her and sighed.
"It doesn't feel that bad. Just feels like a pinch that's all."
Nitrospark did not like her answer by the way his face expressed.
"A pinch? Sparkling, your shoulder is leaking and by my scanners indication, it feels like the pit."
She turned to glare at him.
"I'm fine." Shoulder? I looked at her left shoulder where my hand was and pulled it back to see blood all over it. I gasped.
"Captain! Your shoulder is wounded badly! We need to find a doctor immediately!"
She turned to me tired and annoyed.
"As soon as we get you two out of here then I will see a medic."
I noticed she started to sway, but stopped herself immediately and stood strong. Nitrospark moved his face to her and nudged her gently towards his back.
"Get on. I will get the three of you out of this building."
We all moved forward without hesitation and climbed on his back. He spread his wings and began flapping them. He jumped up and flew to the ceiling.
"Whoa!"
The Captain took the words right out of me. He then fired lightening from his mouth and destroyed the roof. We flew into the cold night air and moved from the facility to above the village.
"We need to get to the helicopters. We have to take these guys to safety."
Nitrospark flew to a clearing and landed near the helicopters. Soldiers and people stared in fear and awe of Nitrospark and the captain, but the captain and him didn't stay to pay attention. She helped us off while he stared into the sky. The captain moved us to the helicopters, but some soldiers blocked us off.
"What is the meaning of this, soldiers?" she said while moving in front of us. The soldiers looked between each other in fear and confusion.
"Iz zhere a problem?" a solider asked while walking between the other soldiers path. This one was taller than the captain and had a silver visor in black armor.
"What do you think you're doing, Heinrich?"
"Oh if it izn't ze little Captain Vitvicky."
"I will not repeat myself, lieutenant." This person.. He must be a male German by the sound of it and what the captain had said he seems to be her second in command.
"Ve are following orderz."
"No, you are not. These soldiers just stopped these civilians from getting to the helicopters for safety. You better have a good God damn reason why they can't get on."
"Zhere is no room."
"Well then make room!"
"That won't be necessary, Captain."
We turned to see another female soldier approaching in black armor with a pink visor.
"What do you mean, Martinez? We have direct orders to-"
"Orders have been changed. We evacuate with whoever is on the copters and leave."
She handed the captan a note. She read it and squeezed the note in her hand.
"Who gave this new order and why wasn't I notified?!"
"Can't say, but whoever it is gave us a new order and we must follow it."
Captain was silent and stared at the note in her hand.
"You have an hour to get your team to pull out and enter the copters."
And with that the woman walked away with the rest of the soldiers except for the lieutenant.
"What are your orderz, Captain?"
She looked at the note one last time then threw it away.
"Screw orders. We stay and I'm not leaving till these S.O.B.s are gone!"
The lieutenant nodded and talked on his ear piece.
"All unitz of Team Orion, ve are taking zhese *altmetalle down! Ve do not leave until zhe civilians are zafe!"
"Where's Lennox?"
He pointed to a building and nodded her thanks. She ordered us to follow and we entered the room full of injured people and soldiers. Some were leaving and heading to the copters while some were motionless or attended the injured. She walked passed a few people and bodies until we stood behind a tall woman with tan skin and dirty blonde hair who was tending a wounded person.
"Lennox."
She turned to us with cold brown eyes then soften them as soon as she saw us.
"Jeeze, Witwicky, you scared me."
The captain nodded.
"Watch these two will you or better yet, make them useful. I also need a quick patch on the shoulder."
She scowled as soon as she saw my stained covered hand and her torn shoulder armor.
"What did you do to yourself?!"
"Be a soldier that's what!"
Lennox sighed and motioned the captain to sit and remove her armor.
"You two stay in the back and I will get back to you shortly."
I nodded and moved ourselves out of the way of the moving soldiers and helpers, but I kept an eye on the captain and Lennox. She removed the top of her armor off revealing a bloody gray shirt and her tan skin. Her shoulder was worse than I thought. The scratch went from the front of her shoulder to the middle of her back. Lennox was definitely not happy and was scowling while she patched up the wound. The captain's face was emotionless and Lennox worked quickly and patted on Captain Witwicky's good shoulder to tell her she was done. The captain got up and put on her armor and ran back outside to the battlefield. Lennox walked towards with a serious and desperate look in her eyes.
"Sir, do you have a medical background?"
I nodded.
"Okay. I need you to tend with those with minor injuries so they can get back on the field."
She turned to my granddaughter.
"Little one, there are some caregivers through that door in the back. Stay there, please. Your grandfather is going to be a little occupied."
My granddaughter nodded and hugged me then went to the next room. Lennox handed me hand sanitizer and some gloves with a medical kit.
"Please, time is of the essence."
I nodded and got to work. After three hours of helping the wounded and bracing myself from explosions, I walked around to see the damage of my village. Soldiers and villagers were either dead, injured, crying, bleeding, resting or looking at what remained of our home. I found the captain at the entrance of the village with Nitrospark standing at his full height. He was bigger than his dragon form and seemed to be talking to Captain Witwicky. I walked closer to them and noticed her helmet was gone and revealed a young girl with shoulder length brown hair with blonde highlights. Her armor was torn to shreds and revealed her injured shoulder slowly bleeding. At least the wound was taken care of. I fear if she didn't have it treated she would have been dead in at least an hour. I cleared my throat and she turned to me with tired brown blood shot eyes. She nodded to me and looked at the rising sun.
"Captain Witwicky-,"
"You know you've been calling me that since you've found out, but never have you referred to me as Witwicky."
I was caught off guard and she turned to me with a smile you would see on a mischievous child.
"Is that a problem?"
"No. I just wanted to know why you don't call me by that name instead."
I smiled sheepishly and she became serious again and turned to the sun again. I was confused and looked up at Nitrospark for an explanation, but he looked at me with those eyes that seemed to tell me to back away. He would sometimes flash concern to the captain, but she ignored him. She sighed and looked up at him.
"So what do you plan to do now?"
He shrugged.
"I will stay until your mission is successful."
She nodded and looked at me.
"I have a few questions I would like to ask you, Mr..."
"Aryan. Aryan Flynn."
We shook hands and she nodded.
"I am Captain Alex Witwicky and our mission is to stop this illegal weapon and slavery trading. You must answer my questions truthfully and willingly under the oath of the Constitution. Do you agree to these conditions?"
I nodded.
"Have you been experimented, drugged and/or any form of abuse?"
"Worked as a slave and I have no memory of any other abuse."
She nodded and continued questioning.
"How long have you been here?"
"A year. I can't remember exactly when I arrived."
"Where are you from originally?"
"America. I lived in Maine."
She nodded then took something out of her side pocket and handed it to me.
"Have you seen this man?"
It was a picture of a young man in his early twenties and had military cut brunette hair and dark compassionate brown eyes and wore a military uniform. I have seen him before, but where...!... Ah! There!
"Yes. I remember him. He was here with a group of slaves and was sent to our sister village in the east."
She seemed to be in pain and shock.
"Captain?"
"Sparkling?"
She put up her hand and shook her head.
"That will be all, Mr. Flynn. Thank you for your time."
She stared at the sky that began changing colors.
"Was he someone important?" I asked.
She was silent and sighed.
"He is Major Thomas Morshower. He was supposed to be in charge of this mission instead of me."
"But he's missing?" Nitrospark finished.
She nodded.
"I promised someone I would bring him back alive and I intend to keep it."
I nodded in agreement.
"I want to help."
"I won't stop you but do not get in my way," she stated with coldness.
I saluted.
"M'am."
She chuckled.
"Please call me Alex."
I smiled and nodded.
"Alex, thank you."
"Don't thank me yet. I'm not done and I intend to get you home and this village back on its' feet."
I frowned, but nodded curtly. She smiled lightly.
"Then you are dismissed, soldier."
I saluted and walked away from them. I hope I can help her, but I have a feeling Nitrospark won't let me or anyone help. I looked at them once more them my world went black.
-*End Video/Ary's PoV*-
The humans and Transformers were in shock.
"This happened two years ago."
"But you said a year you were trapped."
He nodded.
"Yet, you fainted. Explain."
"A blackout kill," Morshower finally spoke. "It's supposed to freeze the mind and makes all major functions stop."
Morshower looked at Will and Sarah.
"Your daughter performed brain surgery on this man with little or probably no background of medical surgery. She saved his life with the help of the present Cybertronian."
"But who is Nitrospark?" Sam asked the question on the present humans' minds.
"He was a legend on Cybertron. A dangerous mech," Megatron explained with a faraway look.
"The only bot who defied even the most of orders and only followed one: Primus."
Everyone was silent.
"He was the only one who could hear Primus, other than a Prime. We would listen to him for any good or bad news."
"But if he was important on Cybertron, why is he on Earth and underground?"
The transformers were silent.
"Uh, guys?" Will asked.
"Sorry, Will, but we really don't know either," Ironhide answered reluctantly. The humans were shocked and looked between each other in confusion.
"But that leads to the other problem," Carly said while turning to the quiet Morshower.
"Glenn, you never told us your kid was missing. Did James know this?"
Morshower didn't respond and sighed in exhaustion.
"James didn't know and neither did I."
Everyone was confused.
"How can this be?"
"No one knows. I was told that he was in charge of a mission to save a village full of civilians and he was successful. He reported that his team and him would stay in the area to keep a lookout for any enemies if they return and stop the source of the problem... I didn't find out about the situation till I got a phone call from Tom's fiancee telling me about receiving a call from him and telling her everything that has happen in the last two years. I did what any pissed off father/general would do, I went to go see the problem myself."
He shook his head and rubbed his neck.
"The first person I met when I landed was your kid, Sam. She was more banged up than my son and Mars. I stayed the night, but by the next morning, all of them were healed. It was as if they were never in a battle. Everyone of us were baffled except for the villagers and civilians."
He turned to Aryan.
"You called your sister village the Temple of Protection. Yet your village was called the Home of Light. Explain what makes each other so special."
Aryan chuckled.
"I do not know the story behind the sister village, but my village is directed towards the sun, but we were always blessed with vegetations even due to the lack of water."
"That can't be possible!"
"It's illogical!"
Aryan smiled.
"Illogical, but not impossible."
Theresa gasped.
"It was an underground water reserve."
He nodded.
"Yes and that's what interested our captors. They believed it may be mixed with energon."
"And was it?" Barricade asked.
"Yes but it was a small mine and far from the water reserve. We were force to dig it out."
The transformers looked away from the humans in shame for the problems that have happened due to the lack of energon and the methods used to gather it.
"Which leaves only one question: what happened in the sister village?"
"And the only one who can answer that question is..."
Carly held Sam's hand tightly. He sighed in pain and shook his head.
"You've of all people know she won't talk so easily."
Morshower nodded.
"But there is always Nitrospark."
The transformers looked amongst each other and nodded nervously. They didn't want the sparkling to get involve in the war, but to deal over a child for a legendary mech is a dangerous move.
"I will not allow you to interrogate my niece," Megatron stated with malice.
Morshower sighed in defeat.
"I understand this and I don't want her to be interrogated either, but that won't stop Galloway from doing it."
The cons and bots tensed while the charges glared in Morshowers' direction.
"Oh, he will NOT touch my baby girl," Sam stated with venom that even surprised the bots and cons. Carly nodded in agreement with a cold expression on her face. Epps and Will's family worked together to protect each other's kids and weren't too thrilled with the Galloway subject.
"We can't do anything now till all the players are in their places."
Everyone nodded in agreement and began planning on ways to keep Galloway from getting his hands on the kids.
"Well, I believe you parents have daughters to welcome back," Morshower stated while checking his watch, "their plane should be arriving soon. Better hurry before Mars gets impatient."
The parents smiled and nodded as if the meeting never happened.
"Thank you, sir," the three men said and saluted Morshower. He nodded and dismissed them. The parents rode with their respected guardians and drove off to pick up their kids. During their drive, they were all excited and nervous to see how their kids have grown into women.
