(I was finally able to finally have the time to write the next chapter down. I apologize for the long wait for you darlings. Also, I decided to change Sunburst's holoform by using Picrew. I recommend trying it, it's really fun! Anyways enjoy the chapter and happy holidays!)
By the next day in the afternoon, Sunburst slowly woke up and gave a quiet yawn. Stretching his joints until he heard the ever-satisfying pops, he stood up and looked through the window to see the sun at the highest point in the sky. When remembering the events from last night, the young mech gave a happy laugh and grinned. Exiting his room, he greeted the walking humans with a wave and soft greeting. He didn't mind if they either ignored him or walked away quickly since they were still too nervous around him, but Sunburst smiled as he walked. He didn't have to work today as today was his day off. After telling his human caretakers he was going out, he shifted to his Alt-mode and drove off, honking at the passing guards that gave him a quick wave.
Sunburst activated his holoform, decided to change up his looks a little. Now instead of having raven black hair, he colored it to blond and red to match his armor color. his skin tanned as well. and now wears small, golden hoop earrings. To say he felt more confident and comfortable with his new look. While driving on the highway, he received a message from his com-link that was connected to his phone. the young mech opened the message to smile when he saw it was from his female friend Mikaela Banes.
: Hey, wanna hang out at Burger king down the street next to where you work?:
Sunburst looked at his internal clock and nodded to himself that he had time before returning to Hoover Dam.
: I'll be there in 10 minutes! :
:3:
Turning off his com-link, Sunburst continued to drive down only to jolt in shock when seeing a familiar old Camaro zoom pass by with a police vehicle on its tail. Blinking a couple of times, then suddenly heard Primus speak in his head.
~The cop vehicle is a Decepticon known as Barricade, as he is chasing down the young scout, bumblebee. Barricade must have found out where the coordinate to the Allspark is.~
Sunburst looked at the two speeding vehicles in shock. Feeling the sudden determination to help the young scout before something worse happens. When the highway was clear from oncoming cars, Sunburst accelerated faster to catch up with the two. He tinted his windows so that no onlooking humans can see and deactivated his holoform to save his energy and sped up. Within a few miles, he can see them still driving fast as if it was a simple game of cat and mouse. Sunburst went as close as he could without being seen suspicious to passerby's and turned on his comlink to bumblebee.
: This is Autobot Sunburst. Am I speaking to Autobot Scout bumblebee? :
Sunburst waited for a few seconds before hearing whirs and clicks before mixed radio stations gave him his answer, along with a text message that popped up in the young mechs sight.
:~Correct! Nice to see that there's another ally here!~:
Sunburst sighed in relief and looked ahead of the road as he crept closer to the cop vehicle
: Agreed. It's been a long time since I saw Autobots near me. Anyway, it looks like you are in a sticky situation there. Got any room for another hand? :
Sunburst chuckled when he read the next message he was given from the young scout.
:~Please! this aft has been stalking me ever since I landed here on earth! and I'm even started to get annoyed by it!~:
: Alrighty then! I'm right behind you two! make sure you find a secure area where no civilians will be harmed or can see us nearby. :
The young mech then could feel a sudden hesitation from the scout as he gave a gentle whistle as he saw the Camaro speed up faster, the Decepticon trailing behind.
:~About that. You see, my main mission was to retrieve an item that had the coordinates to the Allspark, and I must guard a human boy since he has possession of them. He didn't take well to finding out sooner. Long story short, I have two humans inside of my Alt-mode as I'm being chased by Barricade right now.~:
Sunburst was quiet. he processed what the Autobot scout reported and sighed. He knew there was nothing they could do now was they had two human witnesses that could spill everything out of fear.
: No biggie Bumblebee, we will do everything we can to protect the two after that we will have to think of something else when this is over. Sunburst out.:
After deactivating the comlinks. Sunburst sped up between the two and without hesitation, he harshly rammed into Barricade who let out his sirens in shock and anger, roaring his engine, barricade slammed back as the two continued to ram each other, neither caring is their vehicle modes are dented and scratched. Bumblebee saw the opportunity to drive far from them and have more time to prepare to plan a battle.
Sunburst was beginning to feel annoyed at this, he rammed into the Decepticon more aggressively. Barricade swerved harshly until he slid off the highway and landed onto the landscape. He growled in rage and turned on his sirens to get more room and begin his chase, he sped up to the red truck and the chase continued until the sunset down and it was dark.
Thankfully, Sunburst was able to get the coordinates from Bumblebee and led Barricade to an old oil factory where he saw the scout drift around and open his door to let the humans out. To say Sunburst was shocked when he realized that the two humans were his two friends, Sam Witwicky, and Mikaela Banes. he cursed quietly as he watched them tumble out and crawl backward's to see bumblebee's transformation. Sunburst was impressed by how the young scouts' quick, but graceful movements were. After being in his root form, the scout went into a battle stance as Barricade jumped in mid-transformation and tackled bumblebee onto the ground. two brawled as the two teens escaped to find a hiding spot. Barricade opened his chest compartments and summoned frenzy out. The mini-con said something to him and he chased the teens.
Sunburst accelerated to the two brawling bots and ramed Barricade on his legs, making the con fall over. Seeing the quick free time, Sunburst began to transform, with gentleness and elegance but quickly as a hummingbird. As if time paused Bumblebee and Barricade stopped to watch the young mech transform as if he was dancing ballet. The young scout was more surprised to say that Sunburst has both looks from the trigger happy mech and grumpy mech he knew. After his transformation Sunburst stood in the 4th position as if he was in ballet. He opened his optics and locked onto Barricade who looked gobsmacked.
Grinning, Sunburst quickly spun to get summon his sword (the second weapon if you look back into his introduction, they are labeled) and used the handle to hit Barricade by his neck cable. Barricade stumbled and fell groaning in pain at the impact. Bumblebee stood in shock seeing the young mech move so quickly as if he was all a blur.
Sunburst glared at the rising Decepticon and took his battle stance ready to fight. Barricade turned sharply only to slightly flinch when he saw the menacing glare the young mech gave him. The look reminded him of not only the Autobots weapon specialist but their menacing medic as well. Then, it shook him. This was their missing son that was announced hundreds of years ago back on Cybertron. Barricade can see the details now, of how the mech looked so much like his sire and carrier, and all he needed was a simple glare to tell you otherwise.
Barricade knew that if he needed to report to the others, he needed to survive this, while the scout has similar strengths as him, Barricade wasn't stupid to know that the other mech was way stronger than him, and could pummel him quickly. Quickly forming a plan, the best thing he could do was dodge and defend against the two.
Sunburst took this chance to charge at the con, sword aimed to strike. he moved fluidly with the con as he dodged his attacks, Bumblebee joined along by Sunburst's side and the two worked gracefully as they landed hits onto barricade who was dealing so much damage. The Decepticon began to stumble as he was bleeding energon quickly. he looked around for weak points and grinned when he saw a weak point between Sunburst's abdomen and pelvis area. Secretly, he grabbed a sharp, and jagged dagger and waited for the opening.
Sunburst knew something was up as he could feel his armor tensing and whispers in his audio receptor. He knew better than not to ignore the red flags that were there, so he continued to attack as he looked around, until he noticed the dagger barricade had. Huffing, he lifted his sword and spun behind Barricade, who thought he had the chance. Right as the con struck his move, Sunburst quickly set his left palm out, sideways as the dagger collided and went through his servo. Sunburst cringed in pain and bit his glossa from screaming in pain. Energon slipped through and stained the mechs servoes as the glowing substance quietly dripped down on his leg to the ground.
Bumblebee whirled in shock as he watched the dagger stab his new friend's servo, he could see the pain in his optics and his jaw clenched. He then felt anger as he gave barricade a right hook and shot his blaster, finishing the con. Barricade fell backward with a pained groan, seeing warning notifications dance across his vision, his chest sparked rapidly as he fell into emergency stasis-lock.
Sunburst looked at the unconscious con before huffing tiredly. he put away his sword and looked at his injured servo, which still has a dagger in it. Two small, yellow servoes gently cupped his as Sunburst looked up to see Bumblebee look at him worried. Sunburst chuckled at his adorable look before grabbing the dagger's handle and with a swift move, he moved the dagger out of his injured servo, minding Bumblebee's panicked look.
"I'll be fine Bumblebee, it's just a small wound." then without another word, he lifted his servo and licked the energon stain that surrounded the wound like a cat. Bumblebee blushed harshly, his cheeks tinted blue, and his spark fluttered as he quickly turned around. He heard Sunburst chuckle amused and blushed harder at his laugh.
Once Finished licking his wound dry. Sunburst could see that the dagger did indeed leave a small hole, but it was luckily clean with no infections, but he knew it will soon bleed again without proper treatment. He looked ahead and see his two friends coming up the steep hill. he walked to bumblebee and crossed his arms, quietly chuckling when he overhears their silly conversation.
Once the two teens made it to the top, they looked at the two towering bots in awe and fear. He looked at them amused, he then crouched down near their level so he wouldn't frighten them further.
"Are you two alright?" he asked. he could see the confusion on their faces before Sam suddenly pointed his finger at him.
"Sansao!?"
Sunburst cringed as he was found up, and gave a sheepish smile to them.
"Hello Sam, Mikaela. Nice to see two again, I wish it was in a better time, however."
Mikaela silently nodded as sam sputtered and gripped his hair in shock.
"Dude! How come you never told me that you were a Japanese robot!?"
Sunburst burst out laughing at sam's remark and heard bumblebee snort in amusement behind him.
"I'm not from Japan Sam, I am a Cybertronian from my home planet Cybertron, I recently got my memories back, so I won't be the pest person-er bot to explain all of this."
Sam silently nodded as Mikaela looked at Bumblebee, then she spoke up.
"can he also talk as well?" she asked. Sunburst looked at bee two had his arms on his hips and looked at the sky.
:~XM Satellite Radio...Digital cable brings you...Columbia Broadcasting System...~: Bumblebee replied as he pointed up to the sky.
Sam then spoke up "So you talk through the radio?"
The scout then played a recording of the audience applause and clapped along with it.
:~Thank you, you're beautiful. You're wonderful, you're wonderful.~:
"So, what was that last night? What was that?"
:~Message from Starfleet, Captain...Throughout the inanimate vastness
of space...Angels will rain down like visitors from heaven! Hallelujah!~:
Mikaela then spoke up figuring out what Bumblebee was trying to say.
"Visitors from heaven? What are you, like, an alien or something?"
Sunburst sagged his shoulders with a deadpan look 'Didn't I just say that we were called Cybertronians from the planet Cybertron?'
Bumblebee nodded and transformed to his Alt-mode and opened the passenger side
:~Any more questions you want to ask?~:
Following along, Sunburst transformed back to his Alt-mode, ignoring the sight pain he felt when doing so, and watched his friends hesitate.
"He wants us to get in the car," Sam said. Mikaela looked at him as if he was crazy, and scoffed.
"And go where?"
Sam looked at her and answered.
"Fifty years from now, when you're looking back at your life, don't you want to be able to say you had the guts to get in the car?"
Sunburst gave a rumbling chuckle when he heard that as he watched the two enter into Bumblebee's Alt. The four then continued with their journey as they trailed along the path to the meeting point, where they will meet the others.
Comment on what you think! Have a goodnight Folks!
