Enjoy the chapter! This art piece does not belong to me.
As the two Autobots made their way to the meeting point to meet the others, Sunburst was nervous. This will be the first time within hundreds of years to be reunited with his creators. Questions and thoughts fogged his processors as his body shudder in the cold, crispy night. 'Oh dear,' Sunburst sighed internally as he saw warning messages across his vision. 'My heat temperature is getting low if I don't find something to warm me quickly, my gears will freeze.'
You see my dear readers, I almost forgot to mention that during his time with Sector-Seven, they did something that made his armor weaker and more affected by the cold. When the young mech asked about the situation. The answer he received was only a shrug. Sunburst, being a gentlemech he is, let it slide and was left to deal with the condition.
Back to Sunburst, the young mech scanned his subspace and found a tarp that will warm him for a small time. He sighed in relief. He then focused back onto the road where Bumblebee was in front of him. The scout then made a turn and forced open a gate that was chained up. The two stopped as Sam, and Mikaela exit out. They were confused why they were here and turned to Sunburst who started to shake a little from the dropping temperature.
"How come we stopped here?" Sam asked scratching his head in confusion. Before Sunburst could answer, all four heard a distant boom above of them, they heard Bumblebee whirl in excitement as they looked up to see four burning asteroids hurling towards different directions. Sunburst then realized that they were the other Autobots landing here. He felt the same excitement as his new friend did. Sunburst then once again realized that BUblebee wasn't an old Camaro anymore the new model. Deciding not to question it, the young mech looked at the sky in awe. He has never seen such beauty as this when landing on earth.
As Sunburst gazed upon the sky, Bumblebee decided to leave him alone for a while as he had already sent Sunburst the coordinates to the meeting point. He let the two humans in his Alt-mode again and drove off ahead before the others could. As he drove off, he saw through his rearview mirror of Sunburst transforming, once again, landing on the 4th position in ballet. And for a split second, he thought he saw wings on him only to see nothing. mentally shrugging, he continued his quick trip to the meeting point with the others, knowing that SUnburst will be alright by himself.
Sunburst watched on in his root form, with the tarp covering his body for warmth as he watched the other Autobots land somewhere. He didn't notice that one of them landed near him and already transformed to find a vehicle form. Before doing so, the mech looked around and was surprised to find the mech standing there with the tarp wrapped around him like a blanket. As he walked closer his audio receptors strained forward to hear the mech hum, then eventually to the mech surprise, he started to sing.
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart (I'm wide awake)
How did I read the stars so wrong?
(I'm wide awake)
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems (I'm wide awake)
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long
I wish I knew then, what I know now
Wouldn't dive in, wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts, you made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on, on the concrete
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet (I'm wide awake)
Need nothing to complete me, no (I'm wide awake)
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend (And it's too late)
The story's over now, the end
I wish I knew then, what I know now
Wouldn't dive in, wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts, you made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on, on the concrete
Falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I'm)
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight (Yeah, I'm letting you go, I'm)
I'm falling from cloud nine (I'm wide awake)
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling (I'm wide awake)
I am trying to hold on (I'm wide awake)
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side (I'm wide awake)
I'm not blind anymore
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I'm)
Crashing from the high
You know, I'm letting go tonight (Yeah, I'm letting you go, I'm)
I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
The mech in his Protoform stood shocked when hearing his voice. It was very hypnotizing and luring, Yet so beautiful, and elegant. He didn't realize that he walked in closer until he saw the young mech turn to him. The two stood frozen, not sure what to do next. Then the young mech slowly walked up to him. Seeing that the mech went up to his chassis he had to look down a little. He was surprised when the young mech gave him a sweet smile and unwrapped his tarp and gently wrapped it around his protoform instead! He felt flustered at the kind gesture and shuffled his feet.
Sunburst watched the taller mech with amusement and giggled, making the taller mech look at him with confusion. giving him a kind smile, he tired the tarp around his neck to help the fabric stay. "You seemed cold, plus with no extra armor, you would have caught a cold." he giggled, forgetting that the taller mech could understand English yet, but the taller mech didn't seem to mind, as he gave a nod of thanks. Sunburst smiled and nodded back but before he could leave, he delt a larger servo gently grabbed his wrist to prevent him from going. Confused, Sunburst looked at him with an amused look with a raised optic ridge. The taller mech looked around for a minute before gesturing Sunburst to stay put and left. He heard the young mech laugh and felt his faceplate flush at the noise. He shook his head to focus on the main mission and looked around, and spotted a 1997 red and blue Peterbilt 379 semi-trailer truck with flames.
Crouching down, he quickly scanned the vehicle more and transformed to his new Alt-mode. He then transformed back and stood tall in his new armor. He looked back to see Sunburst look at him in awe, but could see his shutter in the cold. getting the somehow, neatly folded tarp, he walked up to the young mech as he downloaded earth's information and language. Stopping in front of him, he held out the folded tarp to the young mech with a small smile.
"Thank you for lending this to me, but I believe you need it more than I do."
Sunburst looked at him with surprise when hearing the deep baritone voice, but smiled nothingness and great took the tarp back and wrapped it around him once again.
"Your quite welcome sir. I didn't want you to quickly catch a cold when you landed," Sunburst chuckled. "My Name is Sunburst, its nice to-"
"Sunburst?" The mech looked shocked when he revealed his name. Sunburst looked at him confused but nodded now silent. The taller mech then smiled at him with relief in his optics and gently grabbed his servoes with a larger smile.
"Your creators told me so much about you, young one." Sunburst was surprised to hear him say that only for him to now realize who the mech was and quietly gasp.
"Optimus Prime.."
Meanwhile at the meeting point-
When Arriving at the meeting point, which was an abandoned alley, Bumblebee arrived first and let the two humans out. He watched as they looked around confused and nervous, Until they heard sirens and engines rumbling near, turning around, they see three more vehicles driving to them. A silver Pontiac Solstice Custom Hardtop GXP. A 2006 GMC TopKick C4500 medium-duty truck. And a Hummer H2 search and rescue vehicle. Sam and Mikaela looked at the vehicles gobsmacked as they surrounded them. Awkward silence took over until the silver Pontiac spoke up, confusion written in his accent voice.
"Bee, my mech. Where's the boss bot? I thought he was supos' to be here?" the rescue hummer rumbled his engine in agreement as the black GMC Topkick grunted. Bumblebee gave several clicks and whistles to them responding in their language. The rescue hummer responded this time, his voice gruff and gentle.
"Another Autobot here on earth? The possibility of the said bot we only know is..." before he could finish, they all heard two more vehicles driving to them, the two teens turned to see a familiar 2007 GMC Canyon and a 1997 red and blue Peterbilt 379 semi-trailer truck with flames. Sam and Mikaela back up as the two vehicles stopped. the largest one then started to transform slowly, as he was stretching his limbs after a long road trip. The red truck backed up to give him some room and drove around the others behind in a good distance far from them.
After his transformation Optimus watched with a neutral and calm look as he watched the others follow his lead more quickly too. He was amused when he watched Jazz show off in his transformation. He also took note when Sunburst didn't transform along but he understood why. Kneeling to the teens level to calm their nervousness he leaned close to them with a hopeful look.
"Are you Samuel James Witwicky, descendent of Archibald Witwicky?" Optimus asked the human boy. he heard the female whisper to him but the boy answered "Y-yeah." he said nervously. The large mech relaxed a little and gave them a small smile.
"My name is Optimus Prime. We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron." Ratchet then spoke up next to the Prime.
"But you can call us Autobots for short." He clarified helpfully.
"Autobots." they heard the boy huff quietly. Then to help release the tension Jazz did a little breakdance and spoke up.
"What's cracking, little bitches?" He greeted as he waved to the teens with a grin.
"My first lieutenant. Designation, Jazz."
"This looks like a cool place to kick it." Jazz then proceeds to jump onto an old car and sit on it. the older mechs shook their helm at his antics while Optimus ignored it.
"What is that? How did he learn to talk like that?" Sam questioned.
"We've learned Earth's languages through the World Wide Web," Optimus answered and gestured to the black-armored mech "My weapons specialist, Ironhide." Ironhide then summoned his two cannons and aimed them at the two teens who back away a little in fright.
"You feeling lucky, punk?" He grunted at them. Before anyone could reply, the red GMC Canyon truck roared his engine defensively and drove forward in front of the two humans surprising the bots. They were then completely shocked when the truck began to transform and stood around the mech's shoulders as he gave Ironhide a defensive look and stance.
"I'd watch where you're pointing your cannons, sir." Sunburst huffed angrily, glaring at the bulkier mech in front of him.
Ironhide was surprised to see someone talk to him like that, but as he looked closer into the young mech optics, he could see something very familiar in them. Then, it clicked into Ironhide's processor and his optics started to mist a little as he deactivated his cannons. Ratchet was confused and worried for his sparkmate reacting like that until his circuits froze when he heard Ironhide speak.
"Sunburst?" Whispered Ironhide. Ratchet began to tremble, hesitant to bring his hopes up. he watched the young mech flinch at his name but after a few seconds, his spark burst in emotion.
"S-Sire.."
Ironhide nodded shakily with a fatherly smile on his face. Sunburst looked around until his optics halted onto Ratchet and his lip trembled and a few drops of tears slid down.
"C-Carrier.."
Ratchet nodded with a shaky smile. Then without hesitation, Sunburst tackled ratchet into a tight hug with a watery laugh and clenched his optics shut freeing more tears. he felt Ratchet hug him back tightly as he could and he opened his bond to his creators. The three felt love/relief/protective/joy. The two felt strong arms around them both and realized that Ironhide was hugging them both tightly. Sunburst sobbed happily as he nuzzled against his carrier's chest and clutched his servos between the shoulder plates.
Optimus looked at the three with hope and joy filling his spark by seeing the reunion. He looked at the night sky mentally thanking primus for guiding the three back together once again.
goodnight folks! hope you enjoyed the chapter!
