Chapter 1o: Harvester
We were so high up! Higher than when I sat on Optimus' shoulder back when we first discovered them and he had to hide in the bridge. Much higher! His hand gripped me tightly so that gave me some indication that he had no intention of dropping me. He was speaking warbedly into something, I'm guessing through something similar to a bluetooth? I didn't make out most of it with the wind howling in my ears. We were going a lot faster than Bee, or at least it felt like it.
After a terrifying moment or two, I saw that we reached the Harvester. It was in one of the pyramids! Megatron was perched on one side and me and the Fallen on another.
"Ahh, my master, it's seemed you have found my little pet," Megatron hissed, smiling grotesquely. A shiver ran up my spine, "Pretty little thing."
"Silence!" The Fallen shouted and me and Megatron both flinched, "She is not your pet anymore. She's mine."
What is with the freaking robots and having me as a pet? There are millions of other girls that are a lot prettier than me and are a lot more capable than me. Granted I've had training from top militaries and such, but still! The Fallen brought me up to his face and I was met eye-to-optics with him.
"I will never be your pet," I spat, sounding a lot more confident than I felt. The Fallen laughed.
"Oh? What if I make you?" He sneered. Fear was like a vice around my heart. What would he do? He brought the Matrix up to my face, "See, with this, I will take your sun and you will have no choice but to be my pet to survive."
He had it so close that I reached out, grabbing a hold of it, and shattering it against his hand. The shot of energy went through me and into the Fallen's hand. He yelped and tossed me to Megatron. Rubbing his finger, he glared at me.
"Insignifigant pest! You dare hurt your master?" He roared. Megatron gripped me in his hand but I still was able to glare at the Fallen.
"I will never be your pet," I repeated, gathering as much venom and hate into the words. The Fallen blinked once, only slightly startled, and cackled.
"Oh, we'll see," He reached out for me, Megatron obliging to his own master's wishes, and grasped me tightly, "When you beg for mercy, we'll know that you are my pet."
"I will never beg for your mercy," I struggled slightly against the grip while continually glaring at the Fallen, who began to cackle.
"Let's see how fast Prime can get here when she begins to scream," My eyes widened. The Fallen cackled along with Megatron. Why would I scream? What are they going to do to me? The Fallen pushed me into the Harvester. Looking around, I was about to step out when several metal arms reached out and coiled around my wrists, ankles, neck, and waist. Pulling tightly, I suddenly felt my side tingle, badly. It was the worst it's ever done and it was extremely painful. It felt like someone had jabbed a serrated knife into my side, twisted it, and brought it out painfully slow while cutting onto my innards and dragging half of them out. That's how it felt. I began to scream. I couldn't do anything else. Squirming would result in a tighter coil and I choked on several cries for help. A white-blue light covered me and the Harvester and I could barely make out the Fallen and Megatron's faces, them looking pleased. Trying to move, the tingling intensified and I felt something. It was kind of like a 'pop' and my eyes misted over. Seeing images of worlds being pulled into a dark oblivion because of the Fallen and him harvesting, I was suddenly filled with dread. So many lives lost on so many planets because of this guy's ego. He wanted to rule everything and would do anything to make sure he could. I vaguely caught a glimpse of Optimus as he tackled the Fallen to the bottom of the pyramid, Megatron blocking the shot to the Harvester.
I felt something building, something big. Looking up to the sky from inside the Harvester, I could see the sun begin to dim. Narrowing my eyes and surpressing a scream as another intense wave washed over me, I knew I had to do something. Optimus was to caught up with the Fallen and Megatron was watching them. Closing my eyes, I asked for help. For anyone that could hear me, I asked for help. And I desperately needed it.
'Look inside yourself...' I heard a voice. What the hell was that supposed to mean? 'You have the power, use it...'
Well, that was vague.
Squeezing my eyes, I desperately racked my brain for something that would help. I don't know what it was, but I felt an urge. An urge where my side was tingling, where the source was at. Gingerly, I pushed with my mind and I felt the tingling bay a little. Pushing more, the tingling subsided more and more. I heard Megatron roar a 'What?' but payed it no mind. Then I heard metal grinding and cracked an eye, seeing a flash of yellow. Closing my eye again, I followed my instincts and continued to push with my mind. A flash of white bursted from behind my eyes and I felt a surge of energy building in me. Pressing my eyes tighter, the energy kept building. It was almost unbearable! Finally, I let it go. It escaped from me in a large blast, misty blue-white tendrils escaping from all directions. Some of them wrapped around the coils and they disentegrated, then up around the Harvester contraption and it began to collapse in on itself. I watched it fold into itself and begin to turn to dust. In a last vain attempt, a beam of light shot out and was aimed at our sun. It did the exact opposite what I thought it would do. The sun got brighter!
'You did well...' The damned voice again. I thought if I could hear it, perhaps it could hear me.
'Who are you?' I felt stupid, talking to a voice that was probably a piece of my mind that has gone insane.
'In time, my child. For now, go to your family...'
'Wait!'
'Hmm?'
'What's my destiny?'
The voice chuckled, 'You're so curious. You're destiny will reveal itself in time...'
'But my brother already had his revealed, I wanna know mine! I wanna know when it's my turn!'
The voice chuckled again and began to dim in my mind, 'In time, my child, in time.'
And like that, it was gone. My head almost felt... empty. Had the voice been there all this time and now that it's gone, my head felt a lot roomier. Huh.
"Jess!" I heard a voice. Realizing I was still on top of the pyramid, I began to freak a little, "Jess, are you okay?"
A shadow formed over me and I turned, a relieved smile on my face, "Yeah, Bee. I'm okay."
He was in his robot form and was slightly kneeling on the pyramid, one hand gripped the top of it so that he wouldn't fall. He shook his head.
"No your not. Those screams earlier..." I held up a hand.
"I was in pain earlier," Anger flashed in his optics, "But I'm fine now."
He looked at me warily, "If you say so... I still want Ratchet to check you out, though."
I laughed and held up my hands, "Fine, fine, whatever makes you feel better."
I saw a glimpse of amusement in his optics and he held down a hand. Climbing into it, Bee pressed me close to his chest.
"Bee?" I asked as he slid carefully down the face of the pyramid.
"Hmm?" He glanced down once at me.
"Why is it that you use your real voice only around me?" It had been a question I had undoubtedly thought of time and time again. Now it was for answers. Bee got to the bottom of the pyramid and began to walk back towards where everyone else was.
"Because Ratchet said I shouldn't use my vocal processors much, I was allowed an alotted time to speak. He told me it was my choice when to talk and such. I just happen to choose the time when we're alone."
Nodding, I considered it, "But why not around Sam and Mikaela?"
"Because if I talked around them, I would eat up all my time to talk. They talk way to much."
"So do I!" I laughed. I felt his chest rumble in a chuckle.
"Yeah, but I don't mind your voice. It's nice," A blush dusted my cheeks. I slightly hit his chest plate.
"Stop making me blush!" The chest rumbled again.
"Sorry, Jess. It's to easy!" I hit the chest plate again.
"Meanie."
"Uh-huh."
I stuck my tongue out at him. He laughed again and we reached the clearing where everyone was at.
"Jess!" I heard Mom and Dad. I looked up at Bee and he whirred and winked at me. A smile played across my lips and he gently put his hand down. I hopped off and was engulfed in a bone-crushing hug from Mom.
"Oh, God, Jess! I thought you were going to die!" Mom pulled back and looked at me, "He didn't hurt you, did he?"
"A little, but Bee kicked his ass pretty well," I jerked a thumb at Bee. He scratched the back of his helm, embarassed. It looked downright cute on him. Mom looked up at Bee.
"Is this true, BumbleBee? Did you save our daughter?" Bee looked at them and nodded, chirping. Mom walked up to his foot and awkwardly gave it a hug, "Thank you."
Bee gave me a look and I just shrugged. Mom released his foot and walked back up to me.
"God, Jess, you've grown up," I smiled and shrugged.
"I guess. Two years of intense training will do that to ya," I gave her a laugh and Mom nodded. I saw Sam running up to me and grabbing me in a hug.
"God damnit, Jess! You seriously need to stop doing this every time a Decepticon attacks us!" He pulled away and looked at me. I could only laugh.
"I can't help it. I guess I'm a danger magnet," I just shrugged. Bee whirred and I pointed at him with a smirk, "You stay out of this!"
Bee held up his hands and coughed out a laugh. Sam looked up at him, walking to his foot.
"And you and I need to have a little talk," Sam pointed. Bee raised an "eyebrow" and whirred. Sam pointed at me, "About her."
Bee nodded and tilted his head to the side. Mom grasped my shoulder.
"What about Jess?" Sam turned.
"Sam, don't you dare," I growled at him.
"Bee and Jess are dating."
Oh, he's dead. He's so dead. He's so god damned, mother-
"THEY'RE WHAT?" Mom screeched. Mikaela ran up and looked at us confusedly.
"Sam told them about me and Bee," I seethed. Mikaela turned wide-eyed to Sam.
"Why the hell would you do that?" She threw her arms up. Sam shrugged.
"We need to talk about it."
"Yeah, when we're all alone!" I pratically shouted. Mom was still freaking out so it was hard to talk over her. Finally, she clasped my shoulders and turned me to look at her.
"Jess, is this true?"
"Uhm... Uh..." I bit my lip nervously before sighing defeatedly, "Yeah..."
Dad rubbed the bridge of his nose, "How? How can that be even possible? He's a 20 foot robot and you're a 6 foot girl."
"Actually, he's more 16-17 feet..." I mumbled. Dad threw his hands up in the air.
"Whatever! What I wanna know is how!" I looked at Bee. He looked uncomfortable and a bit guilty. He knew that none of this would've happened if he hadn't kissed me earlier or been there when I woke up next to Sam.
"Bee?" I shrugged, gesturing slightly to my parents,"I don't think we have much of a choice left..."
He nodded and transformed back into his alt. form before the drivers door popped open and out stepped holoform Bee. He was wearing a silver wife-beater tank top and black cargo pants today. Walking up to him, I turned to the four people staring at the man next to me.
"Mom, Dad, Sam, Mikaela," I held out a hand, gesturing to Bee, "This is holoform Bee."
They all just stared at us in silence for a moment. I looked up at Bee nervously and he looked as nervous as me.
"Oh. My. God," I looked at Mikaela. She walked up and looked at Bee, then at me, "He's. So. Freaking. HOT!"
I stared at her for a moment before a laugh bursted from me. Did she really just say that with her boyfriend right there? Bee looked puzzled.
"Hot?" This only made me laugh harder.
"Oh my, God! I love his voice!" Mikaela squealed. She looked at me, "You got lucky!"
My laughing subsided, "I got lucky that a 17 foot robot digs me and my parents and brother are freaking out about it?"
Mikaela stopped and thought about it, "Well... yeah but... he's totally hot!"
I laughed and Bee looked down at me.
"What does 'hot' mean?" Mikaela began laughing now.
"It means that she thinks you're really, really cute," I gasped between my laughs. He made an 'o' with his mouth and a slight blush dusted his cheeks. Mikaela laughed harder.
"God, Jess, I'm so jealous. Sam doesn't do anything nearly as cute as that," Bee blushed even harder and I heard Sam huff.
"I do too!"
"No you don't!" Both me and Mikaela said at the same time, looked at each other, and burst into another fit of giggles. God, what was wrong with us? Once we calmed down, Mom and Dad walked up to Bee, inspecting him. He looked at me nervously and I shook my head, mouthing 'Let them do it'. He nodded cautiously.
"So, you're that robot we just saw carrying our daughter?" Dad questioned. Bee nodded.
"And you're the robot who saved her?" Again Bee nodded.
"And you wouldn't do anything to hurt her?" Bee's eyes widened at this question.
"I wouldn't dare to even think of harming Jess. She's my everything," His eyes locked with mine and I stared at him, walking between Mom and Dad.
"Do you mean that, Bee?" He smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist, holding me snugly against him and placing his forehead on mine. He stared deep into my eyes.
"I do, Jess. You are my everything," I felt the tears bubble up in my eyes, "I would do anything for you. I'd go to the cosmos and back if it'd make you happy."
I shook my head and he looked puzzled at me, "If you did that, it wouldn't make me happy."
"Oh?"
A soft smile graced my lips, "Because then you'd be so far away. I couldn't handle it."
Bee returned my soft smile and brushed his nose with mine.
"Then I'll stay."
"Good."
He smiled again, pulling me into a sweet and soft kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and I heard a 'Awww!' from Mikaela. Smiling against Bee's lips, I ignored her and the rest of the world. Because in that moment, it was just me and Bee. And that's how I wanted it to be from now on.
