Sophie
After pretty much crying my heart out at Ironhide I felt like a total baby. When I say I almost NEVER cry. I mean I NEVER cry.
When I got back into the garage, Leo was teasing on how I was such a cry baby. Sam was not happy with Leo. But Leo didn't like what I did to him, "No! You know what Sam!? If you were me you would react the same way! Sophie is not your sister! She's the devils daughter!" Leo yelped. I snarled and swung my foot really hard at his…um, you can figure that out yourself.
"Owww," Leo winced and grabbed the spot I kicked him. "Sophie! Calm down!" Sam snapped. I sighed and went to the upper deck in the NEST garage.
Optimus Prime transformed and looked at me with his gentle blue optics, "Sophie. Don't go against your own race unless there's an extreme emergency. I think you have seen what has happened to us in Cybertron," he lectured me. I frowned and looked up at the blue and red Autobot. "Optimus. I'm just not in the best mood right now," I admitted. "I can see that," Leo said. I swung a glare at him that said "Do you want another beating?" Optimus sighed and transformed back into his giant semi-truck form.
I frowned as I spotted Leo now demanding Lennox for an ice pack.
"I just got kicked in the balls! You've gotta give me a little slack! C'mon man!" Leo yelped at Lennox.
A small grin curled at my lips as I started to dig through the supply closet where soldiers kept their toys.
I walked down the stairs with two paintball guns and two army helmets, than I looked at Leo with a wide smile, "One paint ball fight. Than I'll leave you alone," I said, the smile now turning evil on my face.
Leo's face fell so low I swear his jaw was touching the ground. "B-but. WAIT A SECOND! You're a weapons specialist! You'll just shoot off my ass! No!" Leo snapped. I frowned, "Fine. I guess you want another bruise on your…" I started to say, "FINE. Fine. Fine. I will play your painful game of paintball," Leo sighed, holding out his hand for a paintball gun. I slapped it in his hand. Than plopped a helmet onto his head.
I put my on and got some face paint, and even put a few twigs in my helmet.
Leo started to walk over to the target practice field but I shook my head, "Training field," I said, pointing to a forest area. Leo cursed under his breath and followed me to the forest. "Your base is over there-" I pointed to a tree stump, "-mine is right there," I said, pointing to three moss covered stumps. Leo nodded and we ran off to our base.
"THREE…TWO…ONE! LET THE WAR BEGIN!" I screamed, than poked my head up and aimed at Leo, shooting him at least three times. He tried shooting me but missed. The guy really need to work on his aim. I simply smirked and watched as he hit a tree than a bush, than some mossy rock, but I swore the rock had flinched when Leo had hit it.
"STOP STOP!" I screamed and put my paintball gun down.
My guns were strapped at me at all times. I kept them to make sure I was prepared for anything.
The rock seemed a bit shiny. Almost metallic…
All of a sudden the loudest screech I had ever heard blew into my ears. Leo must of heard it because he was screaming for it to stop. I grabbed Justice off my belt and aimed it right at the rock and before I pulled the trigger, a head popped out from the rock!
The rock suddenly transformed and in front of me stood one of the biggest Decepticons I had ever seen. Bigger than Megatron or Optimus Prime combined! Me and Leo screamed to the top of our lungs and ran out of the forest for our lives.
"We have to get back to the garage!" Leo yelped. "If we do! Than it will never be safe again! I'll call Ironhide over," I snapped. Leo stood there waiting for something, I could hear the giant foot steps of the huge Decepticon, "Don't just stand there! RUN!" I screamed, and bolted at the opposite direction of the base. Ironhide! Giant Decepticon! Autobots needed…NOW!, I screamed in my mind. I looked back behind me to see the Decepticon observe a C17. His eyes scanned the military plane, than he transformed into it!
I gasped as the plane flew over me and Leo than snatched us up. M16 tight in hands, I started to shoot at its fingers, the Decepticon made a disgusting screech, then let me go. I clutched tightly at one finger, then shot at the metallic claws that wrapped around a screaming Leo. With Justice in only one hand, I shot straight at the metal fingers around him.
The Decepticon made another horrific screech, then let go of Leo. I grabbed onto him and we went down screaming for our lives. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!" Leo screamed at me. I looked at him, "DID YOU JUST THINK YOU COULD MAKE THE DECEPTICON LET GO AND WE'D FALL ON A MATRESS?!" he snapped.
I gulped and looked at the strangely blue ground that would soon be covered in me and Leo's blood. "WOULD YOU RATHER DIE SLOWLY?! OR QUICKLY WITHOUT PAIN?!" I screamed. "IS THAT YOUR EXCUSE?!" Leo yelped. I shrugged, and then started screaming to the top of my lungs. Leo joined my little choir in less than a second.
Then, "SPLASH!"
We had been dropped in a lake!
"We're alive!" Leo yelped, as soon as the two of us came to the surface, "Well technically. Our helmets saved us. The impact of the water could of killed us," I shrugged. I unclipped my helmet than used it as a floatie. I looked at a man in a row boat with a fishing rod. He looked at me and Leo with eyes the size of a disc, "Are you aliens? Just dropping out of the sky? Where the hell did you come from?" he snapped.
The man looked about in his sixties, behind him sat a little boy, maybe three. Leo ignored the mans question and raised a hand up, "Oh thank you God," he whispered. "Hey man? Uh, were a little worn out here, could you lend us a hand?" Leo pleaded. "Not until you answer my question. Where'd you two kids come from?" the man snapped. I frowned, "Listen sir. We were on a plane, and two thugs dropped us. Now could you please let us on. I'm not a swimmer," I begged.
The old man glared at us, than said, "Get on. I'm Lionel, this is my grandson, Carl."
The man pointed to the little boy. Carl smiled and waved.
"Thank you!" Leo gasped, as the two of us swam over to the boat, "I'm Sophie, and the idiot is Leo. Could you please tell me where we are?" I asked. Lionel looked at me, than Leo, "Why you're about three miles away from the Diego Garcia airport. Me and my grandson came here to go fishing I'm a pilot for one of the planes," Lionel replied. I nodded, "You can just drop me and Leo off at the shore. I can use my bazooka as a flare," I advised. Lionel looked wide eyed at Mary.
"Just don't shoot me," he smirked and snapped at Leo to be a man and help him row the boat to shore. I thanked Lionel and Carl, than after about an hour I could see Ironhide and Optimus speeding over to us in alt form, behind them were Sideswipe and Ratchet.
"Where the hell have you guys been?!" Leo screamed. I can read your mind. You were thinking the area constantly, Ironhide thought. I grinned and looked at them. Optimus transformed and his blue optics dawned down on me. "Thank you," I gasped. Optimus nodded and looked at me, "I believe this Decepticon you found has been around Earth a while. I can't identify him yet. Do you know what his alt form was?" he asked. I thought about the C17, it had been labeled 96XC. I looked up at the other three Autobots that had accompanied Optimus Prime.
Ironhide, Sideswipe, and Ratchet transformed into their natural form. I looked at Ironhide, only speaking half of myself to Optimus, "He transformed into a C17. The Decepticon was labeled 96XC. If we go back to base, I can show you the C17 he scanned," I said. Optimus nodded and question scripted in his eyes, "Okay. Tell me everything at the garage. I just hope the Decepticon didn't know that Diego Garcia is a base," I could tell Optimus was thinking out loud.
I had nearly demanded Optimus to not let Leo ride with me and Ironhide. Ironhide had pretty much agreed. Optimus had finally given in and put Leo in Ratchet.
"Oh my God. How did it happen. I never thought I would be so lucky," I whispered, lying down across Ironhide's front seat, I don't know. But thank Primus for that, Ironhide thought. I laughed, "Thanks Primus," I teased. I looked out the windshield at the flurry of trees. Than a question flowed out of my mouth, almost uncontrolled, "Do you like Earth? Or do you protect it for Optimus?" I asked, regretting every word. Sophie, humans are almost as destructive and violent as Decepticons. But NEST has revealed their good side. The they're willing to help. And, well you pretty much prove every trait of the human species, Ironhide thought. I cocked my head to the side, "How Hide?" I asked.
Well, I think we both know your violent and destructive. But towards the correct things. Your headstrong. Your helpful. But there's one thing that makes you different, Ironhide answered. "And that is?" I partially demanded, Your absolutely insane. Like-, Ironhide thought. "I'm absolutely insane?" I snapped my body up. Than I thought about the answer. "Okay. I can't find a protest for that," I admitted. "But you don't think Autobots are insane?" I said, mainly to my defense.
Well, uh, okay. I guess you got a point. If you ask me. We're just, uh…okay I give up, Ironhide grumbled. "I thought so," I smirked, with a smug grin, crossing my arms.
When we got to NEST, I could see Mikaela talking to Sam. Sam seemed freaked.
Sam
My little sister had been gone for an hour and a half and I was freaked. I remembered the horrifying screech.
"Sam calm down! It's Sophie! She'll be alright! Ironhide will catch up to her!" Mikaela snapped, but I could tell she was just as freaked. I looked at Optimus coming back then, Sideswipe, then Ratchet, I could see Leo inside the passenger seat, he looked soaked. Then…Ironhide!
I nearly whooped at the view of my little sister sitting in the passenger seat. The giant Topkick halted to a stop and Sophie ran out toward me. I grabbed her and hugged her, dropping my crutches, but I could care less. My little sister was back!
I watched as she looked up at me. Than she looked up at me, her face turning from excited to worried, "We need to talk Stamp," she whispered.
Author's Note: I finished this chapter a while ago, but Mom pretty much took several cords from my computer which made it so I couldn't reach my files. So sorry. Please review! I'd like to know what people think (bad or good).
