Chapter 6
Mia had gone for more gas for Optimus; and then planned to pick up some snacks taking her bike that had an area to place things in the back. However Optimus stayed in robot mode while Mia was out; so he could allow his joints to move correctly.
While in the meantime, Sue decided to show up and was pulling into Mia's driveway. She got out of her car; and walked toward Mia's house but found she was not answering the doorbell.
"Mia, where are you for crying out loud?" Sue asked as she started to head for her car but stopped and glanced toward the secret area behind Mia's house. "Hmmm, are you there, I wonder?" Sue asked herself.
She started to stroll toward the secluded area where Optimus was; she walked up and she got an eyeful of Optimus Prime. Sue's mouth dropped open and her eyes bugged out completely; while she stood there completely bewildered and puzzled at what she saw in front of her.
"M-Mia, oh my God," Sue whispered in a stammer as Optimus' helm shot up cobalt optics landed on Sue.
Optimus snarled; as Sue opened her mouth to talk; but her eyes rolled back into her head and she passed out cold.
"Oh for the love of Primus; why are human femmes so prone to glitching like this?" Optimus demanded as he poked the human femme with a finger. "Online this instant, right now," Optimus ordered.
Sue groaned, and her eyes met Optimus' angry sapphire optics and she screamed and passed out once more. Optimus snarled and decided to commlink Mia about this crazy human femme who glitched once more like this.
"Hello," Mia answered with her cell phone.
"Mia there is a requirement for your presence back here at once." Optimus ordered.
"What happened are you alright?" she asked suddenly.
Silence…..
"Affirmative, but there is a human femme here who glitched several times; and she saw me and could inform the others to my presence here." Optimus remarked his tone very angry.
Mia sighed.
"Alright, it sounds like it was Sue who got there; I will be right there please do not do anything until I get there, alright?" she asked.
"Very well, but if she tries anything know this I will not just allow her to harm me." Optimus retorted.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming." Mia said with a heavy sigh.
"Do not take that tone with me," Optimus snapped.
"Excuse me, what tone?" Mia asked.
"That sigh I heard it," Optimus growled.
"Oh that," Mia answered.
"Yes that," Optimus complained.
Silence…
"Do not give me the silent act, human." Optimus snapped.
"Mia, M.I.A…" Mia said in a way like she was speaking to a child which only seemed to anger Optimus more.
"I am not a sparkling, Mia!" he shouted.
"Do not yell at me, jeez." Mia complained.
"Then do not test me," Optimus snapped back.
"Heaven forbid I test you for your lack of whatever it was you were doing." Mia said.
Optimus growled then.
"Just get back here now, Mia." Optimus retorted.
"I am on my way, Optimus," she said as they hung up.
"Dense femme," Optimus mumbled to himself.
(Twenty minutes later)
Mia walked up toward Optimus who had glared at her; she sighed once more.
"Okay now why are you mad at me?" she asked.
"You are late getting here twenty minutes in fact," Optimus explained.
Mia just threw her arms up into the air then.
"I did not have a vehicle I had a bike it's only a bicycle not anything with a motor, Prime." she said as he frowned.
"I told you Prime is a title not my name," he mumbled.
"You called me human, so we're even." she retorted strolling over to Sue who was still passed out.
"Do not do that, Mia that is not pleasant to me." Optimus said.
Mia couldn't help but laugh at their little fight; which Optimus didn't understand why she was laughing then either. She just knelt down by her best friend and smacked her lightly on the face.
"Wake up, Sue," Mia said softly.
"Oh yes, why didn't I think of that just smack her softly." Optimus mocked.
"Because you're dense," Mia said matter of factly.
"Yes because I'm…" Optimus trailed off as he realized what Mia got him to do.
Optimus snarled then.
"Would you stop that!" Mia scolded him.
"I will not," he mumbled.
"Gah, you are so impossible!" Mia exclaimed as Sue woke up.
"O-Optimus Prime, I just saw Optimus Prime." Sue whispered to Mia as her eyes landed on the massive form of Optimus Prime once more. "Oh shit, I wasn't dreaming!" Sue shouted as her eyes went from startled and shocked to swiftly turning to anger. "You kept him a secret from ME I am your best friend; where the hell did he come from?" Sue demanded as Optimus snarled and pointed his blaster at her.
"If you say a word human I swear to Primus I will blast you from here to the slagging pit." Optimus growled his optics shining with fear and anger.
Sue just sat there taken off guard at the raw fear she saw in his optics.
"I am not going to report you jeez, prime." Sue retorted.
"My name is not Prime that is merely my title; my designation is Optimus." he remarked.
"I know what your name is," she simply said.
"Clearly you do not or you wouldn't have called me Prime." Optimus retorted.
Sue glanced at Mia who shrugged.
"He is a bit bi polar just go with it." Mia said with a wave of her hand.
Optimus growled then.
"I have fixed my holoform device that should help," Optimus remarked.
"Good," Mia said.
"Wait hold up, so he is staying here with you?" Sue asked as Mia turned to face her friend.
"Yes, and you have to keep this secret, Sue," Mia said as she quickly added. "His life depends on it." Mia added as Sue nodded.
"So, like are we in Age of Extinction then?" Sue asked.
"All things about Transformers are gone now I checked online; but if he was brought into our world all that would still be here. So, we must have drifted back into his realm somehow; I still am not sure what the hell is going on." Mia stated.
"We better get sure like right away and yes I will keep your secret." Sue said as Mia nodded.
Optimus watched Mia and Sue his spark raced wildly within its chamber. He was scared. He had absolutely no more Autobots now. He was alone on this planet with no more of his kind except for Lockdown and his vehicons and Cybertronian wolves.
He didn't know he was leaking; until Mia walked up to him and questioned him about it.
"Optimus, are you alright?" Mia asked quietly as he glanced down at her.
"I will be alright, thank you for asking." Optimus said.
"Alright," Mia said.
"You know, maybe I should pack up my stuff and move out here, Mia." Sue said.
"That's fine, I have the room." Mia said.
"I got fired today." Sue finally stated.
"What, why..?" Mia asked.
Optimus listened to the girls talk as he just quietly laid down on the ground; his memories swirled within his processors like a gentle breeze.

Lockdown growled inwardly as he finally saw vehicles pulling up; it was those blasted humans. Harold Attinger got out of the black 4x4 and walked over toward the bounty hunter.
"Your men interfered yet again," Lockdown growled.
"Look I have no idea what happened and why you were out of contact with me; but I can assure you my men were doing their job." Attinger said.
"I need him alive not offline!" Lockdown roared.
"You were the one who half blew him to kingdom come not Cemetery Wind." another human said as he walked up.
Lockdown snarled.
"Attinger keep your dog in line." Lockdown said dangerously to the human who walked up and joined the conversation.
"Savoy, knock it off," Attinger retorted.
"So, where is he?" Savoy demanded.
"I don't know, I lost him; but he can't stay hidden for long." Lockdown remarked.
Silence…..
"What if he's got help?" Savoy asked finally.
"Your men can handle any human help; I doubt there are anymore surviving Autobots unless new ones showed up." Attinger remarked.
"I will handle Optimus Prime you just handle any outside interferences, understood!" Lockdown roared.
(At KSI headquarters)
Galvatron onlines his optics; while a dark smile crosses his lip plates.
"I live," he declares.
