Chapter 3: Meeting the Autobots
After they had been chucked out the car (Because Sam's girlfriend had insulted his looks), the robot had left to change into a completely different type of Camaro. After which, they watched a bunch of meteors fall from the sky, one landing quiet close to them. When they went near it, it turned out to be an even bigger version of the alien robot, towering over the one with them. After the metal giant had walked away, they got back into the car and were taken to an abandoned alley.
Getting out of the Camaro, they all made their way forward where four other cars where making their way to surround them. There was a silver Pontiac Solstice GXP (He only knew what type of car that was as he and the twins had been walking around when they saw it in a car dealership. The two red heads had wanted that one once they got their driver licences, or as Harry had told them, 'if' they got them), a yellow emergency Hummer, a black Pickup truck along with a red and blue Semi.
The red and blue Semi came right up towards them, the Camaro backing up to get some space. Harry noticed the red robotic face on the front of the car first, sitting proudly in the middle of the grill. The exact same one that was on the Camaro's steering wheel. His attention was soon dragged away from that for when the truck stopped in front of them it, as well as all the other cars, began to change. Although they had seen it already, seeing the shifting parts without danger was amazing and from the corner of his eye, he could see that Fred, George and Sam had their mouths hanging open in awe. Turning around in circles so that they could see all of them in various points of their transformation from car to robot.
Once they had finished changing, the tallest one (Which happened to be the red and blue Semi) bent down to their level. His eyes where the same colour blue as the Camaro's own, set in a silver face tinted in a blue sheen. His (Again Harry was guessing it, as well as the others, were all males) head was a dark blue with antennas on the side of his face. The same blue was also mainly on his legs with smaller bits on his arms. The back of his legs contained the tires from his vehicle form and the blue parts had red flame decals on them. His chest contained two windows and was mainly red, with small bits of blue with red flames on them. In between the red and blue parts were silver pieces, looking like those parts were more of an armour. The exhaust pipes came out from his back, rising up on either side of his head.
Sam had moved so that he and the girl where standing in front of the robot while Fred, George and Harry where behind them. Harry placed protectively in between the two red heads.
"Are you Samuel James Witwicky, descendent of Archibald Witwicky?" The semi asked in a deep, baritone voice.
"They know your name!" The girl tried to whisper quietly but everyone heard her.
"What did you do to get the attention of giant robots Sam?" Harry asked incredulously.
"Yeah" Sam gulped, ignoring them both.
"My name is Optimus Prime. We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the planet Cybertron"
"But you can call us 'Autobots'' for short" the emergency Hummer chimed in. He was mostly a bright yellow with some small amounts of red, the silver parts shining through. He had two sets of lights on either side of his head and three in the middle of his chest, where the protective barrier from the bumper of his vehicle resided. He also had the same blue eyes as Optimus, as did all the other robots now that Harry had a closer look.
"Autobots?" Sam said.
"What' crackin' lil bitches?" A deep voice said, coming from the completely silver robot that had just done a somersault. He was the second smallest after the Camaro, seeming to be completely covered in silver. The only other colour Harry could see was the dark blue eye piece, covering his eyes from view. He seemed to be able to flip it up and down at will.
"My First Lieutenant. Designation, Jazz" Optimus supplied.
"This looks like ah cool place ta kick it!" he said while landing on a car behind him in a sitting position, twisting around into the pose like he was some sort of break dancer.
"What is that? How did you learn to talk like that?" Sam inquired the tall alien, who had stood back up to his full height.
"We've learned Earth's languages through the World Wide Web" the teens gave each other a look at that explanation before turning their attentions back on to Prime.
"My Weapons Specialist, Ironhide" Optimus said, pointing towards the black and silver robot that stood as the second tallest. Coming up to just above halfway of Optimus, his armour definitely seemed to be the thickest of the lot. Ironhide's forearms shifted until they both held a massive cannon on them "You feeling lucky, punk?"
Fred and George quickly stepped in front of Harry defensively as they both growled out "Touch our brother and we'll send you on a one way trip to hell!" their hands hovered over their wand holsters.
"All three of you are brothers?" The girl asked sceptically.
Harry (Realising that he still didn't even know her name) held out his hand towards her in greeting "Sorry, we haven't really had time to introduce ourselves. My name is Harrison Orion, but everyone calls me Harry. The two red heads are Fred Orion and George Orion, my adoptive brothers"
She took his outstretched hand and shook it "Mikaela Banes. Nice to meet you Harry"
"Likewise" he said, smiling at her. While he was introducing himself, Optimus had talked with Ironhide.
"Easy, Ironhide" Optimus said calmly but Harry could clearly see the disapproving look he shot at the other for threatening them.
Ironhide shifted again, the cannons not being put away but no longer pointing at them "I wasn't really going to shoot you, just messing around. I just wanted to show them my cannons" he said, sulking a bit at the end.
Harry smiled at the Autobot "Your cannons are awesome but it's probably best that you don't go randomly aiming at people. Sends a bad message" he said with an amused smile. Ironhide looked down at the smallest human and gave him a small smirk back.
"Our Medical Officer, Ratchet" Optimus gestured towards the emergency Hummer.
Ratchet started to sniff the air "The boy's pheromone levels suggest he wants to mate with the female" he commented, causing Sam to whistle and Mikaela to scratch her head in embarrassment. Ratchet's gaze soon landed on the other three humans.
"My scanners also show that they have a strange energy coming from and surrounding them" everyone looked at the two red headed and raven haired Wizards who had stilled at Ratchet's statement.
"How about we finish the introductions first, then we can explain who we are" Harry suggested, wanting to get the introductions out of the way.
Optimus nodded at the dark haired teen and finally gestured towards the robot that they had met first. The Camaro was bouncing around on his feet, waiting for his own presentation "You already know your guardian, Bumblebee"
~Check on the rep, yep second to none~ his radio played while he danced around, pretending to box an imaginary opponent.
"Bumblebee, right? You're my guardian, huh?" Sam said, looking up at Bumblebee who nodded at him. He was making some sort of cooing noise but only a second later, a red beam of light hit him where his voice box would have been on a human. Looking across from Bumblebee, Harry saw it was from a device on Ratchet's arm.
"His vocal processors were damaged in battle. I'm still working on them" he told the confused humans while Bumblebee hacked up a mechanical cough.
"So now tha we're all familiarised, wanna explain what the Hatchet meant when yah three have ah strange energy comin' from yah?" Jazz asked, making everyone look at them. Waiting for their explanation.
Harry glanced towards the twins who were looking at Him with pleading looks. He groaned "Fine, I'll tell them" he said. Staring up at the larger beings, he asked them "How much of the Web have you actually looked at?"
"Nearly all of it" Ratchet replied immediately.
"Okay, so have you seen things where people talk about how they believe that other beings inhabit the Earth; like Vampires, Werewolves and Witches?" he continued.
All of them nodded slowly, not sure where this line of questioning was going.
"Well, some of it is true. Not all interpretations are right but the fact is that beings such as Vampires, Werewolves, Unicorns, Centaurs, Mermaids, Dragons and many more are all real and in hiding. We are Wizards and are able to harness Magic"
"That's preposterous. Magic cannot be real" Ratchet said back, shaking his head at the mere suggestion that such a thing could be possible. Ironhide was nodding his own head in agreement with the Medic.
Mikaela also looked like she did not believe him either but Sam, Optimus and Jazz seemed as if they were at least trying to believe.
~It's true, it's true, it's true- I saw it with my own eyes- oh, oh, oh its magic~ Bumblebee said, flipping between radio stations to get the message across.
Harry and the twins looked gratefully at Bumblebee before Harry turned his gaze back on to the leader of the group "I get that you don't believe us. Hell, I didn't even believe it when I was told I was a Wizard but if we're going to show you, you must promise that you will not tell anyone unless we say. Especially you, Sam and Mikaela"
They all nodded in agreement, some of them still clearly sceptical.
George folded his arms in a thoughtful manner "The thing is, what do we show you? We can do a lot of things; from levitation to transfiguring one item to another"
Fred clicked his fingers together "Hey Harry, why don't you show them you're Patronus. We-"
"Know that you're able to make a corporal Patronus that we have yet to-"
"See. Do it for them as well as us please!" they ended together, their hands clasped in a begging manner.
"Do you do that often? The whole continuing each other's sentences" Mikaela asked them.
"Well, we are Magical twins" they said, as if that explained everything to a person who was had just recently been told that both aliens and Magic existed.
"Is that supposed to mean something special?" Mikaela smarmily replied.
"It means that we are both half of the same soul, inhabiting two separate bodies-" Fred started to say.
"Our souls are always connected to one another. Even if they are in separate places-" George continued.
"We always know what the other is thinking-"
"Feeling-"
"Our bond will only end at death-"
"When one dies, the other will swiftly follow-"
"As neither of us could live with only half our soul left" they finished. Their faces were completely serious throughout the whole speech, making the area become deathly silent as they ended.
Mikaela looked down guiltily "I'm sorry, I didn't realise" Fred placed his hand on her shoulder in comfort "Don't worry about it, not many knew we were Magical twins-"
"They always thought we did it to annoy them, which is a plus, but not always intentional. Even our own family didn't know"
"Harry is the first person to realise what we really are without being told and is the only one able to tell us apart"
They all looked towards Harry who had turned a bit red at the attention.
"Fascinating" Ratchet said, looking at the twins in awe "We have something similar called split-spark twins. It has the same concept as what you two described. The only difference being that we call them sparks while you call them souls"
"Cool" they said, their focus soon back on their younger brother "Enough about us, show us the Patronus Harry" jumping on the balls of their feet in excitement all the while.
"Alright, don't get your knickers in a twist" he said. Pulling out his wand which caused everyone (Besides the twins) to do a double take, wondering where he had got it from.
Focusing on happiest memory up to date, which happened to be the day he was adopted and got a real family, he cast the charm "EXPECTO POTRONUM"
A large silver stag burst forth from his wand, causing the Autobots to jump back as it ran all around them. Finally stopping at Harry's side.
"What is tha" Jazz asked, looking at the silver stag in wonder. His visor flipping and putting his eyes on full display.
"It's called a Patronus. A protector made up of a person's happiest memory to defend them against dark creatures called Dementors. They literally feed off of peoples happiness, sucking them away which leaves the person with only their darkest memories. The air turns cold around them, making the surrounding covered in frost. They can literally make someone go insane but the worse thing about them is that if they get close enough, they can suck your soul out of your body, leaving an empty husk behind" Harry shuddered, remembering the experience in third year. He didn't notice that the Autobots shuddered as well, just imagining something that could take away their entire life in an instant.
Prongs looked around, not seeing any danger he turned towards Harry in an almost questioning manner "Sorry Prongs, no trouble tonight" the stag nodded before disappearing.
"Prongs?" Optimus asked, his eyes showed that he was amazed at what Harry had just done but kept a neutral expression on his face.
"I called him that because of my dad" the Wizard said, a sad smile on his face.
"Why your dad?" Ironhide questioned this time.
"There are schools around the world that teach Wizards how to control their Magic and how to use it. When my dad attended, he had three friends; one of which went missing every month on the full moon. As it turned out, he was a Wizard who had been bitten by a Werewolf when he was younger. Now, the only thing that could be around a Werewolf, and not have the threat of being bitten, were animals. So they trained themselves to become Animagi, which is when a Witch or a Wizard can attempt to learn the ability to transform into a particular animal at will. They can be either Magical creatures or normal ones; for instance, my godfather was a Grim which is a type of spectral dog. Their other friend was a rat and my own father was a stag. They all had names for these forms as well; Moony was the Werewolf, Wormtail the rat, Padfoot was the Grim and the stag was called Prongs"
"Remarkable" Ratchet said. He had scanned Prongs with some green light along with Harry when he had cast the charm. The look on his face conveyed how impressed he was by whatever results he had gotten.
"Okay, so now that we've established that both Magic, aliens and possibly other creatures are real, I think the question we are missing is why you are here?" Mikaela grilled the aliens, asking exactly what the other humans we're thinking.
"We are here looking for the Allspark, and we must find it before Megatron" Optimus said.
"Mega-what?" Sam blurted out before he could stop himself, looking very confused.
Optimus pressed something on the side of his head, which caused some of the ground to fall away and their surroundings to become a giant, metal city that was falling apart. Harry placed his foot on one of the areas of missing floor, only to feel that it was still there. It kind of reminded Harry of when he had looked into Dumbledore's pensive. Whatever they were being shown, had already happened.
"Our planet was once a powerful empire, peaceful and just, until we were betrayed by Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. All who defied them were destroyed" They could see the menacing silver alien laughing maniacally as he shot a wounded Cybertronian.
"Is it just me or does this guy remind you a bit of a certain snake faced bastard?" George commented.
"Defiantly not just you Forge" Harry said shivering at the fact that there was another Voldemort to worry about and Harry would bet that he was just as hard to get rid of.
Optimus continued on but seem to take some notice of their conversation "Our war finally consumed the planet, and the Allspark was lost to the stars. Megatron followed it to Earth, where Captain Witwicky found him"
"My grandfather" Sam said in shock.
"It was an accident that intertwined our fates. Megatron crash-landed before he could retrieve the Cube. He accidentally activated his navigation system, the coordinates to the Cube's location on Earth were imprinted on his glasses"
"How did you know about his glasses?" Harry asked.
"EBay"
"EBay..." Sam murmured out.
"We really need to go on EBay, seems everything is happening on there" George said to Fred and Harry.
"If the Decepticons find the Allspark, they will use its power to transform Earth's machines and then build a new army" Ratchets stated.
"And the human race will be extinguished. Sam Witwicky, you hold the key to Earth's survival" Optimus finished
Mikaela turned her gaze towards Sam "Please tell me that you have those glasses?"
"Yeah, they're at my house" he muttered, seeming to be in a daze from the overload of information.
"Then we should go and retrieve them" Ironhide advised, powering up his guns in anticipation.
"Indeed Ironhide, but first we need to give the other humans some guardians" the twins looked like they were going to protest until he continued "The Decepticons have already seen you. I understand that you could protect yourself with your Magic, but it would be safer if you did have a guardian; just in case"
"He's right. We have a good grasp on our Magic but the fact of the matter is that we're not properly trained for this" Harry told them and they knew he was right. They were still learning even with the help of Sirius and Remus. Who could be ready for something like this?
They all looked towards Optimus "Then if you would like, you can pick your guardians. Except Bumblebee. He shall remain Samuel and Mikaela's guardian"
The twins immediately made their way towards Jazz, who was still lounging on the car from earlier "Would you mind being our guardian?" they asked the silver lieutenant.
"Sure thing lil guys" he said standing up to his full height.
"What about you Harrison?" Optimus said looking down at the youngest member.
Harry thought about it for a while. From what he could tell so far, Ironhide was a little trigger happy which probably would not go well with the destructive part of Magic. Ratchet seemed nice, but Harry had had enough time in and around medical places to want to avoid them as much as possible so that left…
"If you don't mind, would you be my guardian Optimus?" Harry requested.
Optimus looked slightly shocked at that, along with the others, but smiled none the less "I would be honoured to be your guardian"
Each Autobot then changed back into their vehicle form. Optimus opened his door for Harry while Jazz opened his for the twins, Bumblebee opening his own for Sam and Mikaela "We should be on our way to Samuel's house. Retrieving the glasses before the Decepticon's is of the upmost importance" Optimus concluded. Harry nodded and climbed up into the driver's seat of the cab, the door shutting as soon as Harry had sat down. A seatbelt wound itself around the young Wizard before Optimus started up his engine, everyone else also getting into their designated guardian's vehicle mode.
Bumblebee was the first to leave since he knew exactly where Sam lived, followed by Optimus, Jazz and Ratchet. Ironhide bringing up the rear. Casting a Tempus, Harry saw it was well into the night and it would take them a while to make their way back to Sam's. He yawned behind his hand and tried to get comfortable for the long ride.
Optimus voice came from the radio, startling Harry "If you wish to go into recharge, I can wake you up when we reach Samuel's"
He nodded and yawned out a "Thank you" before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep before anything else happened.
Thank you all for the follows I hope you enjoy this story and sorry if I can't write Jazz's speech properly, don't forget to leave a review if you want.
