Now the action will begin!
Ch. 10 Attack
We all looked at the screen that Jazz had pointed to. At the top of the screen, a little blinking dot could be seen.
"So, that's giving off an energy signal?" I asked, not really sure what the importance of the light was.
To my slight surprise, Jazz nodded. "Yup, not sure what it is though."
"Wait," Mikaela said, "Why aren't your guys' energy signals on there?"
"Our energy signals are programmed into the computer. They won't show up unless we want them to by switching the programming on the computer."
Mikaela nodded, satisfied with the answer.
"What is that then?" Sam asked.
"Well, we have a piece of the Allspark somewhere over in that part of the base. We thought that all of its power was gone, but who knows what happened to it," Jazz replied.
"We'll go check it out," Sideswipe volunteered, throwing his arm around his brother. Sunstreaker merely rolled his optics at him.
Optimus nodded, "It is probably nothing, but it needs to be checked out."
Sideswipe pointed to me, still perched on his shoulder. "Can she come with?" he asked. "Like you said, it's probably nothing, and even if it is something, she'll be safe with us."
"If Paris wants to accompany you two, I see no harm in it."
I gave a shrug, "Sure, why not?"
The signal had been coming from the other side of the base, a part I hadn't been to before. It was mostly just a few storage rooms for energon and spare parts.
When we got to the door to the room where the signal had been coming from, Sideswipe set me on the ground.
"Hey!" I exclaimed in surprise.
"Stay out here," Sideswipe said.
I rolled my eyes, "It's probably nothing, remember?"
He just shrugged, "Just a precaution." He and Sunstreaker then each sub spaced a laser gun, and entered the room.
"If I die out here, it's your fault!" I yelled after them. All I heard in response was a laugh. I pursed my lips and stuffed my hands into my jacket pockets.
The twins weren't gone long before I heard something. It sounded like a voice, but it wasn't coming from the room in front of me, it was coming from around the corner a few feet to my right.
Collecting all of my courage, I inched a little closer to the corner, hoping to figure out what was making noise. I froze with fear as I clearly heard a voice talking. "…Ravage: Eject." The voice had an eerie monotone, and sounded more robot-like than the Autobots'.
I was about to back away, and get the twins' help when I heard a scraping noise. In front of me, coming from the shadows, was a bright red orb. As it got closer, I saw that the orb was really a red eye. I gulped, and put my hands up in front of me, defensively.
Whatever the thing was growled and stepped out of the shadows. It was a robot alright, but looked more like an animal.
Laughing nervously, I managed to say, "Heh, nice kitty…dog…robot, thing." It snarled at me and bared its teeth.
Turning heel, I took off into the room the twins were in. "Decepticon!" I yelled out. I could hear the 'Con following me, and I was barely managing to stay ahead of it. Crap, crap, crap…where the hell are Sideswipe and Sunstreaker?
As I took a few more steps, a blur of red appeared in front of me. Looking up, I realized that it was Sideswipe.
"Turn around!" he yelled at me, aiming his gun at the 'Con behind me.
Not questioning him, I skidded to a stop and promptly turned around. I went to the right of the Decepticon, which ran straight to Sideswipe. I heard Sideswipe fire his weapon at the other robot, but I wasn't sure if he hit it. But I wasn't about to stop and check.
Following Sideswipe's orders, I went back through the door to the hallway. I went to the right, the direction that we had come from earlier. If I was lucky, I would run into some Autobots.
But, of course, I was not lucky.
Something caught hold of the hood on my jacket, and pulled me back. I gagged and stumbled backwards into whatever caught me. I shrunk away when I saw red optics glaring at me, but it grabbed one of my arms to keep me in place.
Holding onto my hood and arm was a small, red transformer. It was small compared to the Autobots, but still bigger than me.
Smirking, the 'Con said, "Hey bro, look what I caught."
Another bot emerged from behind the one holding me. He was purple in color, and the same height as his 'brother'.
The new bot also smirked, "Looks like the Autobots got themselves a pet."
I struggled in the grip of the red bot. "Let go!" I shouted.
The two 'Cons laughed. "I say we pound the meat-bag," the purple one said.
"What about Boss' orders?"
"We have to keep the Autobots busy. I'm sure saving their pet will distract them enough."
With my free hand, I managed to unzip my jacket and slip out of it. Stunned, the red 'Con loosened his grip on my arm and I was able to yank it free. My jacket was still in his hands, but at the moment I could've cared less.
As I began to run down the hallway, away from the two smaller 'Cons, I heard one of them shriek, "Ewww! It shed its skin!" Had I not been scared out of my mind, I would have laughed at his comment.
The two 'Cons began to chase after me, but thankfully didn't shoot at me. They were yelling at each other about 'letting the squishy get away'. I just hoped that they wouldn't catch 'the squishy' again.
All of a sudden, I felt the ground shake. Not enough to make fall, but enough for me to notice it. What the…?
A smile spread across my face as I saw the other five Autobots round the corner ahead of me.
To avoid being trampled, I pressed myself up against one of the walls. All but Bumblebee ran past me to take care of the Decepticons. I looked down the hall to see the two 'Cons that had chased me transform their arms into piledrivers. With their transformed arms, they began to pound the ground, causing me to lose my balance and fall over.
"Whoa," I exclaimed as I fell to the ground. "What the hell are they doing?"
Instead of getting an answer, Bumblebee scooped me up and ran back the way he and the others had come from. "We're going to the med bay, because that's where the other humans are. It's safest there since the doors can lock." I nodded in response as I clung to his hand for dear life.
Looking around, I recognized the part of the hallway we were in. The monitor room shouldn't be too far away… As we got closer to it, a loud explosion erupted from behind us. Bumblebee stumbled forward, but caught himself before he fell.
Dust and debris cover a section of the hallway behind us. I looked behind Bumblebee and saw that another Decepticon had busted through one of the base's outside walls.
Suddenly, Bumblebee placed me on the ground and transformed into his car mode. "Get in!"
The passenger door was already open, so I jumped in without hesitation. My heart was pounding as Bee sped down the hallway, away from the 'Con.
Daring to look back, I saw that the Decepticon had also transformed into its alt mode. My eyes widened in fear as it turned into a fighter jet. Holy crap… we're so gonna die.
My fear, however, was short lived as it became apparent that the 'Con's alt mode was too wide for the hallway. I smirked, knowing that Bee now had the upper hand since their alt modes were much faster than their robot modes.
The smirk was wiped from my face when the 'Con turned into a tank, though.
"Not fair!" I shouted.
Bumblebee managed a weak laugh, "Decepticons don't play fair."
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Nowhere."
"Huh?"
"The Decepticons aren't here to fight. They would've attacked first if they were. We think that they're looking for something. So right now, I'm just trying to stay ahead of Blitzwing and keep him away from the others." I took it that 'Blitzwing' was the 'Con that was following us.
No sooner had Bee finished talking, Blitzwing made a sharp U-turn, and went back down the hallway.
"What the-" I started to say.
Bumblebee, Soundwave, the Cassetteicons, and the Seekers have fallen back. Are you and Paris alright? said Optimus through his com link.
We had a run in with Blitzwing, but he has turned back too. Other than that, we are fine.
Good. We will meet up back at the medbay.
When Bee and I pulled up to the medbay, the doors were already open. The other Autobots and humans were inside, and we quickly joined them.
Bumblebee opened my door, and I staggered out so he could transform. I looked down at my hands to see that they were shaking.
"You ok?"
I looked up to see Mikaela. I let out a breath of air that I hadn't realized I had been holding, and nodded.
The twins made their way over to me. "You're not hurt are you?" Sideswipe asked, sounding worried. Even Sunstreaker seemed to be concerned about my condition.
"Yeah, I just a minute to calm down," I replied.
"What happened?" Sam said. I looked up and saw that his question had been directed to all of the Autobots.
Jazz shook his head, "The 'Cons weren't here to fight. They were lookin' for somethin'."
"Do you know what it was?" Maggie asked.
Jazz shook his head, but Ironhide nodded. "I saw Soundwave leave with the Allspark fragment we had," the weapons specialist explained.
"I thought you guys said that its energy was drained," Maggie said with a frown.
"That's why I don't understand why the 'Cons took it."
I woke the next morning feeling better. I was still a bit shaken up by the whole ordeal the day before, but I hadn't been hurt.
Jazz and the twins had spent the rest of the day before in the medbay, since they had minor injuries. After they had been repaired, Ratchet all but threw them out of the medbay.
I was in the Rec room with Sam, Mikaela, Bee, Jazz, and the twins. We were all talking and having a good time.
To my surprise, my cell phone began to ring. I frowned, recognizing the ring tone as the one for my mom. I couldn't figure out why she was calling, since I had called her the day before.
Everyone got quiet while I answered my phone, so that I could hear.
"Hello?"
"Paris! Where the hell are you?" came my mom's voice.
Only one thought crossed my mind at that moment.
Busted.
Ha-ha! Finally, we got to the action :) Phew, I was on a roll with this chapter! Yeah, yeah, it's kinda rushed and jumping around, but it's supposed to be all crazy like that!
Ok, back to business. First off, I would like to say that I am officially depressed. TF:A is over. And there won't be another season. Gah! There are still SOO many unanswered/solved things! What about Rodimus and his team? Huh? And the Dinobots? How 'bout Swindle? And Blurr, god dammit, he's still ALIVE. Just in cube form. I mean, he isn't grey, so he isn't dead!
And then they went and killed Prowl. It was sad, but… it almost seemed meant for him. The one thing that I really like about this season was Prowl's character development.
IMPORTANT NOTICE! READ BELOW:
'So Believe' will be coming to an end soon. One more chapter left. But y'know what that means?
SEQUEL!
Yes, there is a sequel in store for all you guys (and me too, haha).
Now, I'm not giving away too much, but I will say that there will be more Autobots coming in the story! And this is where you come in. I have a poll up on my profile to see which Autobots you guys want to appear in the sequel. I'm not sure how many new ones will be in it, but the numbers range from 4-7. But please keep in mind that I will only bring in Autobots that I'm familiar with. And also keep in mind that I may choose to ignore the poll result completely if I end up coming up with a plot that will only work with certain 'Bots.
Please go and vote! I think you can vote for up to five…
Thank you guys soo much for sticking around!
Remeber to review! You'll get a cookie :3
