"Oh boy…" Arcee moves to get behind a boulder, then she lets loose. "Jack, I was not being flirty. I was not showing sexual attraction in the slightest. And towards a human! You must really be damaged in the processor!" "Brain." "I don't care. So far the only other species that we could possibly 'fall in love with' has been slaughtered because they were also the only organic creatures that could either breed with us or rip us to shreds." Arcee 'breathes' to cool off. Jack at a loss for words, "Um, okay." "Okay? OKAY! Do you have any idea what it's like to be one of the two only females in your race?! And the other one wants to kill me." "What?" "Don't worry about it." Arcee slumps onto the boulder. "The Progenitors gave me the data disks on how to reproduce the 'old fashioned' way before Megatron killed them. And seeing as how Bee was the last male made by the All-Spark, he would have been my mate. But, Megatron damaged him to where he can't use his spike and the others don't have a working spike. Prime already has a spark mate, so it can't be him. So now, our race is doomed."
"Wait, you said old fashioned way? What did you mean?" Jack sits beside her. "Well, before, we bred the way humans do. We still could, but some females were dying from the pain. Others would have so many, that their bodies gave out after the fourth one." "Four doesn't seem that bad." Arcee looks down at him, "Cybertron's orbit is slower than Earth's. Five years on Earth is one cycle on Cybertron. Four cycles, four children. To humans, that's twenty years. And besides, the sparklings would drain the strength of the female who carried it. "How much did you read from the disks?" "You don't read them, you download the data. I know all I need to know. With one simple program, I could get horny and mate. Just like you humans." Jack blushes a bit.
Calming down, "Arcee?" She looks down again. "A dad is like a progenitor, but he helps make the kid. The mom carries it." Arcee hushes him. "Jack, I did a bit of research, I'm sorry for upsetting you." She picks him up and hugs him. "It is my understanding that humans do this a lot." She is warm. It feels kinda nice actually. When she goes to put him down, he doesn't let go. "Jack, you can let go now." "I don't want to." He moves his hands out a little. What the- Arcee's sensors go crazy when Jack moves his hands to her boobs. That feels good. That little sneak, first he touches my butt, now my breasts. Arcee activates a null field and takes Jack off her. "Aw, you felt nice." She smirked. "So you were coping a feel?" Jack blushes again, and Arcee notices his pants move. She pokes his crotch with her finger, "OH." "Jack, what is this?" Unbeknownst to both of them, Arcee's sensors activated the program she got from the data disks.
"Arcee, are you headed back to base? We have a problem!" Arcee stands up straight, her curiosity replaced by worry. "Yeah, what's the problem Bulkhead!?" "Ratchet says there has been space-bridge activity." Arcee relaxed a little. "Okay, so? What's the deal? Let the 'Cons go wherever they want." "They musta wanted to go to Cybertron then. Because that's where they came from!" "We will be right there." Arcee transforms, "Get on." Jack, who only heard what Arcee said, could only guess that it wasn't good. Jack climbed on and put on his helmet and before he could do much else, a ground bridge popped into reality right before them. Arcee speeds through.
On Cybertron
"Knock-Out, where is this lab of yours?" Megatron glared at him. "Don't worry Lord Megatron. It is within walking distance." Knock-Out says while the bridge closed. "Very well, lead the way Knock-Out." Megatron makes a 'move forward' motion with his arm. They start walking down one of the lonely streets of Cybertron, their feet making the only sound. Except, what they didn't know was that somewhere off in the capital city of Iacon, motion sensors were going off. A lone figure watches the monitors. "So, the Decepticons are back. I might as well get to waking up the others and then we can leave this place." The Autobot walks out of the room only after starting a timer. "I wonder if Optimus remembers me?" The Autobot takes a left to the medical bay and heads over to the stasis pods. From left to right: Chromia, Perceptor, Jet fire, Slipstream, and Kup. "For the repairs, I need Kup and Chromia. The others will have to wait a bit longer. We can't go using up the last of our energon stores." The two pods open and the two run a systems check. "Scrap! It feels good to move!" They both stretch. Chromia has a body similar to Arcee, but all orange. Kup is as tall as Optimus, but built like Ratchet. Chromia looks at the one who opened their stasis pods. "When do we start Elita?"
"Knock-Out, we better be getting close." "Don't worry, it's that door right there. Seeing as how we don't have power, I'm going to " Crack. Knock-Out looks at the smoldering hole in the door. Knock-Out looks at Megatron and he looks back. "You were taking to long." Megatron just pushes the door aside and walks in. "Well that works too." Knock-Out grumbles as he walks in.
"Hmm, Space-bridge activity. It would seem that Lord Megatron has returned." Said a cold, calculating voice. That voice belonged to none other than Shockwave. "Or, Autobots have returned to restore Cybertron." Shockwave transforms and leaves his hide out, heading to the bridge coordinates.
In Iacon. "More movement?" Elita looks at the screen and is shocked to see Shockwave leave a long abandoned warehouse. Elita taps her comm link. "Chromia, wake the others. I found a better way to get off world." A moment later, "Aright, they are awake. Now what?" "Pack up all weapons, ammo, energon and all data files into the crates. We are leaving Cybertron." Perceptor, Slipstream, and Jet Fire do quick repairs on the ship while the others load up the four crates. "Kup, take all the weapons that are on this ship and put them in this last crate. We're not letting the 'Cons have any of it." "You got it commander." "Elita, the repairs are completed. Let's get going." Jet Fire says as the fliers hop down. Elita looks to her group, "Small problem, someone has to fly this thing. We all can't go through the space-bridge. We can't let the 'Cons have these weapons or the data disks." "That's easy, we take those with us through the bridge. So we don't waste energon." Kup gets in on the conversation. "That still leaves the ship behind. Why don't we fly it through the space-bridge. Or, why don't we just come back for it?" They all stop and think. Slipstream speaks up, "I agree. Let's come back for the ship. Just leave an access code so we can activate it when we come back. Also, I know I should be glad to get off world, but won't your Autobots attack when they see me?" All optics go to the ex-con. Chromia moves first, "They won't attack unless you do. Now we're wasting energon, let's go before Iacon tower blows up and attracts unwanted attention." They all snap to, "Alright." They load the crates on a hover transport and head to Shockwaves last location.
"Ah, here we are." Knock-Out picks up the last of his tools and he heads for the door. "Soundwave, activate the space-bridge." Megatron walks through the old corridor and out the door. "Ah, I remember when I was a gladiator in the arena of Kaon. Sadly, all the good Autobots and Decepticons were vanquished before the war even began." He started laughing. Knock-Out speaks, "Not to ruin the moment, my Lord, but we have company." Megatron stops his laughter and turns around. At that moment, Shockwave transforms into his bipedal mode. "Well, well, Shockwave. What a surprise, we were told you were off lined centuries ago." Shockwave turned to Knock-Out and gave him a look that would have made Unicron proud. Knock-Out either didn't care or he had a good poker face. "Well, since your alive, you can come back to Earth with us. We at least have energon there." Knock-Out starts walking towards the rendezvous coordinates. Megatron and Shockwave follow suit, "My Lord, why Earth?" "Well, ever since we lost Cybertron, I wanted a planet to rule. But other than that, it is full of energon." Shockwave nods. "I found a dinobot stasis pod. I believe that it may be Grimlock because of it's size." "Intriguing, but I do not have use for a bumbling idiot like him. They don't take orders very well. Soundwave." A bridge opens up right after the explosion in Iacon.
"Hurry up, the bombs went off and that means we have a few minutes before Shockwave shows up." "We know Kup! This file is almost done downloading. I need a few more seconds. Chromia, set up the bombs." The bombs are put in place and activated just as the file gets done. Elita opens the bridge, "Go now!" They grab the crates and run through. The moment the bridge shuts, the bombs go off.
On Earth
"Optimus! We have bridge activity!" Ratchet spoke. Everyone gets quiet as they look to Ratchet. "I see five Autobot signatures and one Decepticon signature." They look to Optimus, who in turn looks to me. I just shrug. "We are heading out, Ratchet, they may need medical assistance. Raf, operate the bridge controls. Miko, get back on the platform. Caleb, your in charge. Autobots, transform and roll out." They transform as the bridge opens to drive through. Once they leave, the bridge snaps shut. "Miko, run communications. So stay in contact with Bulkhead and make sure that nothing is wrong. Raf, be ready with bridge. Jack, your in charge now. I'm going to get a pizza. Raf, bridge me to city limits." I head over to the tunnel, "Bridge me back when you can." With that, I go through the bridge and Raf sets back to Optimus' coordinates.
With the Autobots
The bridge snaps shut and Team Prime transforms with blasters ready. The smaller bot steps forward, "Arcee, is this how you treat your sister?" Arcee goes rigid, and after a moment, puts away her blasters. "CHROMIA!" Almost immediately she is hugging her sister. "Bulkhead, stand down. That's an order." Kup starts laughing. "KUP! I thought you were scrapped!" "Jet Fire?! Perceptor?! Optimus, if any one needed medical attention, they would be in good hands." Ratchet puts his swords away. Bumblebee beeps like crazy. "HEY! I'M AN EX-CON THANK YOU!" Slipstream scoffs. "Oh, Optimus," Prime stiffens like a cramped leg. "Your scout needs better manners." Elita steps to the front. Prime doesn't move, he just deactivates his blasters. "Optimus, are you alright?" Elita stepped forward, shockingly, Prime stepped back. "I watched you die, Elita! I felt it in my spark when you were blown up. This can't be you." Prime takes another step back. "I wasn't killed Optimus. Megatron came close, but I had the two best medics on the planet. Now, does this feel like I'm dead." Before they blinked, she kissed him. That's her alright. Optimus then does the most human thing ever done by a Cybertronian. He fainted. "Raf, we need a bridge. Bulkhead, carry him please. Bumblebee, help them with their supplies." Ratchet took up command and walked through the portal.
Once everything was brought to base, Miko opened fire with questions. "WHY DID YOU BRING A CON BACK TO BASE?! ARE YOU TRYING TO GET SCRAPPED!" Slipstream walks over to Ratchet. "Can we get this over with?" "Sure. It might hurt." "SOMEONE ANSWER ME!" Kup looks over to Bulkhead, "This a pet of yours?" "HEY!" "No, Kup, she's not a pet. She's a wrecker, can smash with the best of them." Miko grins from ear to ear. "Why is she here?" "She saw us. So now, I'm her guardian." "What a waste of energon. Wrecking is a lot more fun than babysitting." Miko frowns.
An alarm goes off. Raf looks at his computer screen and then activates the bridge. Bumblebee beeps furiously. "Calm down Bee, it's just Caleb." At that moment, I walk through the bridge. I walk up to Raf up on the cat walk. "I got the pizza. Didn't know what y'all wanted, so I got Pepperoni, Supreme, and Cheese." I put the pizzas on the table. "You have a confident walk, for a human." Don't know how I did it, but I turned around with my pistol ready. What I see shocks me a bit. "Arcee, why the new paint job and what the fuck happened to Optimus?" My questions go unanswered as Miko slaps me. "Watch your language! Raf is right there!" To my surprise, I didn't shoot her when she slapped me. "Miko, you know he has a gun? Right?" The realization slowly hit her in the face. I put my pistol away, "Miko," She backed up a bit. "You are not my mom. You know why? Because she was killed in a car accident. Just like my dad!" Bee looks down and beeps. "Hey, I don't know what you say, I'm smart enough to know you feel bad. I'm not trying to make you feel bad, I'm trying to get a point across to miss conichiwa here." I focus back on Miko. "I be nice and buy y'all pizza, no one tells me Prime gets injured, and when I ask, I get slapped. So before you be a bossy bitch, tell me what happened to Optimus!" Miko just sits and stays quiet.
"There we go. All done." Ratchet exclaimed. He looked around and saw all optics on me. "What happened?" "It seems the male has a boosted anger level towards the female and now that the anger was verbalized, the female 'bitch' has become quiet." Perceptor states. Ratchet looks to me, "Why didn't you shut her up hours ago?" I say nothing. Right then, Arcee and Elita walk in. Now I'm even more confused, "Why are their two Arcee's? You know what, I don't want to know. I need some air, you, orange bot, come with me." I grab a slice of supreme and walk down the stairs. "Arcee, I'm taking your twin for a drive." Chromia shrugs and follows me to the exit.
Optimus sits up, "That was… an experience I will never forget." "Optimus, were you faking the whole time?" Optimus looks at Jet Fire. "I was not, but if I was, the humans call it good acting. Ratchet, monitor their movement please. I'm going to recharge." Optimus gets up and walks off. "Where do we recharge?" Kup looks to Ratchet. Elita jumps in, "Follow me." The five New comers follow Elita down the hallway.
On the Nemesis
"I wonder what caused those explosions? Maybe it was a scraplet trap." Knock-Out shudders upon remembering the little monsters. "Good riddance vermin." Knock-Out gets back to work.
Somewhere near Jasper
"What to do you mean, he just fainted. A Prime shouldn't do that. You guys shouldn't do that, you're not human." "That may be so, but we do have human like abilities. We feel pain, we can mate, and we can eat." That shocked me into being quiet for a moment. "Are you not afraid someone will see you like this? I mean you're a fourteen foot tall robot that can't transform yet." "I will when I see an adequate vehicle mode." "Alright." We go back to silence. Prime fainted because he got kissed. Eh, that's normal on Earth. This is Arcee's sister and now there are two more medics. "Found it." I snap out of my thoughts to see Chromia shoot green lasers out of her eyes and hit a motorcycle. "There we go." She transforms. "Bumblebee says you like to drive. You can at least tell me about this place." I clamber on and drive off. At the base, "Something just entered Earth's atmosphere. I'll worry about it in the morning." Ratchet heads off to recharge. A little while later, we come back into base. I get off and head to my room, "You should recharge, see ya tomorrow." "Alright." Chromia walked off to her room. Little did I know, I was in for a crazy day.
Alright, I just realized that the poll is not up. It doesn't matter. Also, I want more reviews dammit. I need to know how I'm doing. No one says anything anymore. It says 132 people have read this, but I HAVE ONE REVIEW!
Screw it, I'm on vacation this week. If y'all want chapters, post more reviews. Please and thank you.
