Morning came by soon enough and the group didn't have any idea as to what to do today. Electra had relayed the scene they had interfered and Alex mentioned that would be around the time the human protagonists meet the Autobots.
Which is today.
"Explain to me why we are outside in a high school?" Elina asked through the psychic link "Its the place the human protagonists study. And it is also the place they are taken to the Autobot base I think. I haven't exactly re-watch this series since...well, since I was a kid"
"That was over hundreds of years ago!" Elina shouted loud enough for people to stare at her weirdly. Electra coughed as Elina tried to compose herself "How much do you actually know of this?" There was a few moments of silence in the other end which did not help Elina's mood from plummeting "I am going to kill you slowly and painfully..." Elina growled out "Okay so I may not know much about it but just so you know...I know some key areas that are to happen so we'll just have to...well, let it happen" Alex said before cutting off his side of the link.
Elina groaned before Electra spoke up "Relax El, let's just take this nice and slow" Electra said before a voice called out to her "Adira?" Both girl whirled around to stare at Jack and right behind him was the little boy "Jackson and..." The little boy perked "Raf, you can call me Raf. Those moves you did were awesome! Where did you learn those?" Elina and Electra blinked down at the kid before slowly answering.
"We had a great teacher" Elina said. Raf frowned "I'm sorry for bringing uppainful memories." Elina waved him away "Don't worry, that happened...many years ago" She said with a smile.
A loud whistle made them turn their heads to the sound to see Valerie running up to them. "Hey guys I just...hello..." She slowed her running to a stop as she blinked at the two boy in front of her and raised a question look towards Electra.
"Jackson, Raf. I'd like you to meet my sister, Valerie" Electra said, gesturing to Valerie who waved at them with a smile. "Hello" Raf greeted warmly. Valerie gave him a small smile.
"Um...does she know..." Jack asked as he gestured between the two of them. Electra gave him a look "Jack, she's my sister" At that, Jack let out a nervous chuckle and rubbed the back of his head before a car honk drew their attention to see the black and yellow Camaro slowing moving to their direction before it suddenly drew to a stop.
"Jack..!" Raf breathed in awe while Jack looked at the car in horror. "Oh no, not again" Jack groaned while Valerie leaned closer to Electra and lightly whispered "That's the one?" Electra nodded in confirmation. The girls could literally feel Alex's excitement in the back of their minds and Elina shivered slightly.
For once, she was glad Electra had ordered Alex and Calista to stay back at the house or else she feared the guy might start jumping up and down and question the poor bot to no end. No doubt that will attract attention they want to avoid.
Just then, the Camaro pulled right beside them and opened its passenger door. Sure enough, there was no one at the wheel.
:Come on kids hop on!, we're going for a ride!:
The bot chirped excitedly. Jack blinked, not understanding a thing it was saying but he had a hint on what to do "It wants us to get in" He said it in more of a statement than a question. "No, just me and the girls, Valerie included" Raf said after the car let out another series of chirps. Val's eyes widen but then shrugged.
"What?" Jack asked, not sure on what to do if the car just took off with a kid and three girls, that have super powers that were way beyond his normal human brain could handle. "It said so, yours is over there!" Raf said, pointing behind Jack and it was there that they noticed the familiar motorcycle parked right in front of the school.
Jack look flabbergasted while the girls and Raf slid inside the car with Electra on the driver's seat and Valerie right beside her. "How's it going?" Raf asked as soon as he situated himself right beside Elina. "Raf, girls wait stop!" Jack called out before Bumblebee hit the gas and left Jack coughing up dust and dirt.
"That was quite rude" Electra said in a scolding tone as she patted the dashboard. The car let out an apologetic chirp and Elina had to bite back a grin from forming.
Even when she knew the bit was probably 10x her size, Electra never fails to scold those unruly.
"So how long have you been here? I assume the ones we met back there are not your friends?"
:Your smart little lady:
Electra smiled. They rode until they blew pass by a stop sign and heading directly headed to a mountain "Woah!" Raf let out a small shriek when they blew pass the sign and Elina grabbed his hands for reassurance. Behind them, the girls could hear Jack letting out a scream. Elina and Electra let out an impressed hum when the mountain suddenly revealed a secret entrance.
And there right in front of them, stood the base that housed Alex's secret dreams and goals. "I can see now where Alex got the interior design back in his lab" Elina stated through the link as she looked around the room while Raf stared in awe at the beings that stood towering over him in the opposite car sear window of the Camaro.
The car made a stop in the center as the doors opened, the passengers immediately got out of the car. Jack and a new girl met them halfway. "I thought there were four..." The orange and white bot said as he gestured to Elina, Electra and the two boys. "Haven't you heard? Humans multiply" Arcee answered sarcastically.
"I'm Raf" Rafael spoke up, thinking it was best to introduce himself first "I'm Miko" The new girl said before jogging straight to the bot that was bigger than the rest "Who are you?" Miko asked eagerly. The dark green bot, startled by the eagerness of the girl's question, but nonetheless answered "Bulkhead" He replied.
"Are you a car? I bet your a truck, a monster truck! Do you like heavy metal? How much do you weigh? Ever used a wrecking ball for a punching bag?!" Miko fired question after question which seemed to confuse the bot all the more until Elina pulled back the girl.
"Alright, alright little girl. By the looks of this you'll scare the poor bot away" Elina said as she dragged a pouting Miko back. The bot behind the green one let out a scoff "By the way, I'm not little" Miko said as she turned to Elina "First of all, you are still in high school while I graduated with flying colors in college and already have a job, have a stable home life which I am sure will end up with flames from what I am seeing and possible going to get involved here. Second, Little girls tend to be curious and eager to ask around to something unfamiliar while not knowing whether said something is posed as a threat. That's why I called you a little girl"
Elina stated as if she was merely discussing about the weather. There was silence around them before it was broken by Electra lightly chuckling and Jack sputtering out a reply "What she said..." Jack said. "El, I think you broke some of them..." Electra said as she pointed out the odd looks Elina was receiving.
Elina waved them away "That guy looks smart enough to understand me" She pointed to the orange and white bot who blinked in surprise "Back to the topic at hand. I assume that you robots aren't exactly man-made. Humans aren't that advanced yet to do so" Electra said as she eyed them before settling to look at them straight in the face.
The bots stared at the young girls staring at them. Although she was small in size, they had long sensed something odd about the girl. Her stance and the way she moved and the reaction the other girl did, waving her hands but staring at the woman as if considering what would be an appropriate action in front of her.
"You are correct in that statement young one"
All eyes turned as the ground rumbled when another bot entered the room, this one was taller than the rest of the bots. Electra felt blinked as for a moment, she felt something akin to an innate nobility pouring out of him. The only person she could even come to have that characteristic...was her elder sister.
Optimus stared down at the humans that seemed to have grown in number but his gaze seem to head to the woman that didn't hesitate to stare him down. Something akin to awe and respect shone back in her eyes.
