A/N Hey, guys. Welcome back to more of the Transformers Ordinary Lives Turned Upside Down series. But first, before I get started, I hope you guys are doing well, wherever you guys are in the world, and getting vaccinated. Second, the reason I decided to update this is because I start my first year of university next Monday and I just finished getting things ready like my notebook, and everything else. And third, I don't know if the classes is going to be in person or virtually. But anyway, this is the fourth chapter of Ordinary Lives Turned Upside Down since the first arc is still in progress. In this chapter, Will, Amelia, Hailey, and Maddie's lives are turned upside down and they get to finally meet Optimus Prime and the Autobots for the first time. This is chapter number four, and here we go.
I only own my OCs.
After dealing with a small and evil silver bot that almost killed them, the four teenagers walked to a nearby hill where the yellow and the silver robots were standing.
"What are they?" asked Maddie.
"I have no idea. But they're robots. More like advanced robots." Will replied.
"Aliens, maybe?" asked Amelia.
"What are you guys doing?" Maddie whisper screamed, after letting go of Will's hand.
"I don't think they want to hurt us. If they did, they would've done it already." said Hailey.
"Oh, really? Do you speak alien robot? Because they just had a giant alien droid death match!" Maddie whisper screamed again.
"Not helping, Maddie." said Amelia.
"I think they want something from me." said Will.
"What?" asked Maddie.
"Well, the other one said something about my eBay page." Will clarified.
"Okay, as much as I hate to admit it, but you are the strangest boy that I have ever met and became friends with." said Maddie.
"Can you talk?" Will asked the yellow robot, ignoring Maddie's sarcasm.
"XM Satellite Radio… digital cable brings you… Columbia Broadcasting System…" the yellow bot replied.
"So this yellow robot uses a radio to speak. How convinent." Hailey muttered.
"So you, you talk trough the radio?" Will asked again.
"Thank you! You're beautiful, you're beautiful!" the Camaro happily replied as he clapped both of his hands together.
Amelia laughed at his enthusiasm. She loves this one.
"So, what was that last night? What was that?" asked Amelia.
"You femme sure have a lot of questions." the taller silver robot commented.
"Message from Starfleet, Captain… Throughout the inanimate vastness of space... Angels will rain from like visitors from heaven, Hallelujah!" the yellow robot pointed his finger towards the stars.
"Visitors from heaven? What, what are you, like, an alien or something?" asked Maddie.
"You can say it like that, femme." the silver robot replied as he transformed and drove off, leaving the four teenagers with the Camaro.
"Anymore questions you want to ask?" the Camaro asked after he transformed and opened the door for the four teenagers to hop in.
Amelia and Hailey hopped in the backseat while Will sat in the driver's seat and Maddie sat in the passenger seat beside him. Amelia wished she would stay with the Stingray instead of watching her brother cuddling up with Maddie.
"You know what I don't understand?" asked Maddie, finally breaking the silence.
"What?" asked Will.
"If he's supposed to be this super advanced robot? Why does he change back into this piece of crap Camaro?" asked Maddie.
The Camaro quickly came to a stop, and threw its doors open. The four teenagers climbed out and stood on the side of the road, despite the angry horns from passing drivers. The Camaro slammed its doors shut and speed off the other way.
"Oh, that's just dandy. A $4,000 just drove off." said Will, throwing his hands up in a frustration.
Suddenly the car came back, except this time it was a new, 2007 model Camaro. Will removed his hands from his head and stood in shock, wondering what just happened.
"What?" he asked.
The four teenagers hopped back in the car, sitting in separate seats this time. They admired the new look of the Camaro and Will was still in shock. This past few hours have been turning their ordinary lives upside down.
A few minutes later, the four teenagers stared out the window as five meteors flashed across the sky, but something tells them these weren't exactly meteors. They continued to drive towards where one of them hit, and the Stingray went after a separate one.
"Who is it?" Amelia asked the Camaro.
"Captain… Commander…" the Camaro replied.
The four teenagers and the Camaro soon pulled up to a field, about 20 or so miles outside of town. There, in the middle of it, was a huge scorch mark. The nearby bush had caught on fire. In the center of it all, was a huge metal egg shape. It sat there a few moments before it started to change.
But unlike the other robots the teenagers have seen so far, this one appears to be naked. It was much taller than any of the other robots too. The Stingray would probably only come up to its chest. He nodded at the group briefly, before running off to a few trees. The Camaro honked its horn, beckoning the teens back to its cab. And this is the moment when their old lives were about to change.
Pulling up to a dark alleyway, wondering what was going on, the four teenagers got out of the car, as they heard the roar of engines coming towards them, and the alley was suddenly washed over with light. Whipping around, the group were soon joined by the Corvette Stingray, a black GMC Topkick, a silver Pontiac Solstice, a yellow search and rescue Hummer, a yellow Lamborghini, and lastly a red and blue Peterbilt semi.
The semi only stopped when it was a few inches in front of the four teens. They quickly noticed the familiar robot symbol on its grill. With the now all too familiar sound of metal shifting, the semi began to transform. The others followed suit and they couldn't help but stare in awe as the robot's transformers smoothly around them. These last few hours haven't been nothing but crazy. The semi, who is the biggest out of all of them, knelt down in front of the four stunned teens.
"Are you William James Hawthorne, a descendant of Christopher Hawthorne?" His voice was unbelievably deep, and Em could feel the vibrations.
"They know your name." Maddie whispered to Will.
"Yeah." Will replied.
"My name is Optimus Prime. We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron." He now stood at his full height, and once again leaving the four teens awestruck.
"But you can call us Autobots for short." The yellow Hummer cut in. He was shorter than Optimus, but taller than the Camaro. He had an odd jawline, broad shoulders, and a narrow body.
"Autobots. That's a cool name." Hailey cut in.
"What's crackin', little bitches?" The Solstice said as it flipped onto a nearby car, crushing it in the process.
"My first lieutenant, designation Jazz." Optimus introduced him.
"This looks like a cool place to kick it." Jazz continued.
"What is that? Where did he learn to talk like that?" Will questioned.
"We've learned Earth's language through the World Wide Web." Optimus explained before he continued with the introductions.
"My weapons specialist, Ironhide." He motioned to the black GMC. With the attention now on him, Ironhide flipped his cannons and aimed them down at the four teens.
"You feeling lucky, punk?" He grinned down at them.
"Honestly? Not really." said Hailey, feeling amused.
"Easy, Ironhide." Optimus warned.
"Just kidding. I just wanted to show them my cannons." Ironhide defended.
"I like him already." Maddie commented.
"Our medical officer, Ratchet." Optimus motioned back to the search and rescue vehicle. Ratchet sniffed the air.
"The boy's pheromone levels suggest he wants to mate with one of the females." Ratchet commented.
Amelia and Hailey were both mortified. The rest of the Autobots gave them odd looks.
"Not me! Not me! I'm his little sister!" Amelia corrected.
"Don't look at me! I'm his cousin." Hailey cuts in.
"I wasn't aware Will had any relatives." Optimus added.
"I'm Amelia, and this is my cousin Hailey Johnson." said Amelia, still feeling uncomfortable under the gaze of the Autobots.
"You've already met your guardian, Bumblebee and Sideswipe, one of our front liners. And this is his twin brother Sunstreaker." Sideswipe gave Em a smirk.
"How you doing, femme?" asked Sideswipe, causing the young Hawthorne to blush madly.
"Bumblebee. So you're my guardian, right?" asked Will.
Bumblebee nodded. And the older Hawthorne finally realized why Bumblebee had secretly shown up at a car dealership the other day.
"His vocal processors were damaged in battle. I'm still working on them." Ratchet shot a laser from his wrist at Bumblebee's throat, causing him to make a couching sound.
"So, Bumblebee can't really speak and he has to use different radio stations as a way to help him communicate with others." Hailey pointed out.
"Why are you here?" asked Maddie.
"We are looking for the Allspark. And we must find it before Megatron." Optimus explained.
"Who's Megatron?" asked Will.
The leader of the Autobots knelt down once again, and projected a very realistic hologram from his blue eyes. And suddenly the ground crumbled, and sharp building rose from the ground, causing the four teenagers to move out of harm's way.
"Our planet was once a powerful empire. Peaceful and just. Until we were betrayed by Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. All who defied him were destroyed. Our war finally consumed our planet, and the AllSpark was lost to the stars." Optimus explained as the hologram played out. A very large, menacing Decepticon, whom the teenagers only could assume was Megatron, killed a nearby Cybertronian with a spear.
"Megatron followed the AllSpark to Earth, where Captain Hawthorne found him." Optimus continued.
"Our grandfather." Amelia whispered.
"It was an accident that intertwined our fates. Megatron crash landed before he could retrieve the Cube. He accidentally activated his navigation systems. The coordinates to the Cube were imprinted on his glasses." Optimus added.
"How did you know about his glasses?" asked Will.
"eBay." Optimus replied, as Amelia and Hailey gave Will a dirty look.
"You're an idiot for putting up the glasses on a website, Will." Em commented.
"If the Decepticons find the AllSpark, they will use its power to transform Earth's machines, and build a new army." Ratchet explained. That sounds wonderful.
"And the human race will be extinguished." Optimus continued. "Will, you hold the key to Earth's survival."
"Oh, so we're all gonna die. Peachy." Amelia gave her brother another dirty look.
"Please tell me you have those glasses." Maddie whispered to Will.
"Yeah, they are at home in my room." said Will.
"We need to go home and find them. Immediately." Hailey warned.
"We should get going, then." Sideswipe reminded as he transformed back into his vehicle mode.
Optimus and the other Autobots followed suit as they transformed back into their vehicle mode. Sideswipe opened his door for Amelia as the young blonde climbed in. Optimus then opened his door for Hailey to climb in, which she is thankful for.
"Thanks for giving me a ride, Sideswipe. Things could get really heated for me and my brother." said Amelia.
"Anytime, femme. Sunny and I are here to do our jobs." said Sideswipe.
And that will be it for chapter four for today. So what do you guys think? Love it? Hate it? I thought about updating it since I start school on Monday and I have no idea if I will go to class in person or virtually. Also, Lennox, Epps, Simmons, and the other characters from the movie series are in this story, but you will get to see them in the next few chapters. Next time, the search for the glasses and the arrival of the Sector 7.
