Autobots and Decepticons, Part 1
Levi sat in his classroom, thinking about the setup that happened one week prior to that day, he couldn't get Riven out of his head, who was she? How did she know his name? Why did he get a flash at the sound of her name? Where could he get answers to hiss questions?
"You must relax my friend, something tells me that all our questions will be answered soon." Optimus said and Levi sighed.
'I feel like I've met Riven before, I just can't figure out where.' He thought before the bell went, signalling the end of the day, Levi went to the spot where he usually met up with Jack, Miko, Sierra and Raf and waited there for a few minutes until Sierra emerged.
"Hey Levi." She said and he smiled in response before he went back to his thoughts.
"You ok?" She asked and he sighed and thought of a way for her to help.
"Last week I saw someone, they looked extremely familiar but I can't figure out why, but I think they might have something to do with my past." He explained and she looked at him in surprise.
"Well why don't you talk to them?" She asked and he shook his head.
"I saw them on TV, in the background." He quickly lied and she nodded in response, just before Jack, Miko and Raf emerged from the building.
"Hey guys." Sierra said as the walked over.
"Sup." Miko said with a smile before the three of them noticed Levi in deep thought.
"You ok Levi?" Jack asked but he didn't respond.
"He thought he saw someone he recognised on TV." Sierra explained and they nodded in response.
"(Whistle) earth to Levi!" Miko said as she waved a hand in front of his face, breaking him from thought.
"Oh you're here." He said with a smile. Unknowingly, a familiar red car was parked across the street from them, bearing the decepticon symbol on its steering wheel.
"This is Knockout, Lord Megatron, may I suggest we take the boy now?" The car said, as it sent a signal directly to the Nemesis ship.
"Not yet Knockout, we must be patient." Megatron said into the communicator.
"My lord, why can we not take Prime now?" Starscream asked and Megatron smirked.
"Not until preparations are complete, the Nemesis must take its true form in order for us to take Prime." He explained and got a surprised look from the second in command just before Shockwave emerged from his laboratory.
"My lord, may I suggest we use project Tidal as a preparation, if the boy cannot take TidalWave, there isn't a chance that he can take, the Nemesis." He explained and Megatron smiled in response.
"Agreed, prepare by this time tomorrow." He said and turned back to the computer screen showing a picture of Transformer. Back at the school Knockout had just left and the group had just gone their separate ways, or rather Sierra and Levi broke off from Miko, Jack and Raf.
"Any idea where they go?" Levi asked and Sierra crossed her arms in response.
"Jack's probably with his girlfriend, Arcee." She said with a sour look as Jack rode away from the school and Levi looked at her in surprise.
"I thought you were Jack's girlfriend." He suggested and she turned to him with her eyes open.
"No no no no no no no no no, I mean...I don't...he doesn't...forget it." She said and he laughed slightly before they departed. Levi walked into an ally way and made sure no one was looking before he morphed into a blue sport car and drove away, unaware that Sierra had watched the car exit the ally, but not Transform. Levi quickly arrived home and entered to see M'gann and Connor talking with Artemis on the couches.
"How was school?" Connor asked already knowing the answer would be 'boring'.
"Boring." Levi responded and got a smirk from the kryptonian.
"Sounds suspicious." Jack's motorbike, Arcee said as they entered the military base, housing the remaining Autobots.
"Why? Because he mysteriously appeared a month after Optimus disappeared, has his colour scheme and the Autobot symbol is on his jacket?" Jack asked as they discussed Levi, knowing that Arcee would take any excuse to find Optimus. They entered the army bunker to see all the other Autobots, Ultra Magnus, Wheel Jack, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Ratchet and Smokescreen.
"You guys took your time!" Miko said from their hangout area and Jack smirked before he dismounted Arcee and she transformed before walking over to the other Autobots while Jack went up to see Miko and Raf.
"Any sign of Optimus?" Arcee asked and Ratchet shook his head in response.
"I'll tell you where Prime is!" A deep voice said from the entrance of the bunker, so everyone redirected their attention to see Agent Fowler with a sour look on his face.
"He's gassing warehouses and shooting them." He said and walked up to the hang out area so that he was at head level with the Autobots.
"What are you talking about?" Bulkhead asked before Fowler opened his briefcase and pulled out what looked to be a miniature version of the top half of Optimus' face.
"We found this at a half destroyed warehouse that had the remains of knockout gas on the walls." He said and threw the mask to Ratchet who instantly examined it.
"It certainly looks like Optimus, but it's too, small." He said and placed the faceplate on an enormous microscope before taking a closer look.
"Even if it belonged to Optimus, why would he gas a warehouse and shoot it?" Jack asked and Fowler sighed.
"I don't know, but if you've seen anything relating to Prime we need to know." He instructed and Arcee looked over while Jack shook his head with his eyes wide open.
"Jack, Miko and Raf have been hanging out with a kid that has the Autobot symbol on his jumper and his clothing is the same colour scheme as Optimus." She said and Fowler turned around in surprise.
"You got his name and address?" He asked and she nodded.
"His name's Levi Plestart and he's Raf's new Neighbour." Arcee explained before Miko, Raf and Jack all face palmed.
"Fowler you can't arrest him, he has amnesia, he can only remember the last month." Raf said and Fowler sighed.
"I'm sorry, but I need to take a look at it." He said and walked away. Levi and Connor stood at either ends of their training room, slowly circling around.
"Analyse your opponent's attack strategy, and form a plan to counter it." Connor ordered before he ran in and tried to hit Levi with all he could, Levi dodged but barely, before Connor dropped down and swept his feet to this side, tripping him and making him fall to the ground.
"Noted." Optimus said and Levi just shot him a look subconsciously before Connor helped him up.
"Don't worry, it took me a while to figure it out as well." He said and got a smirk from the twelve year old.
"You'll get the hang of it." He said and Levi nodded in response before he went to try and hit Connor with a sneak attack, only to have his hit dodged and countered with a push back, Levi gritted his teeth and within a split second, his eyes changed from azure, to emerald, and a human sized optimus was expelled from his body.
"Levi?" Connor said with a worried look before Levi raced it and flipped over him, before hitting the backs of both his shoulders, putting Connor in extreme pain.
"Levi stop!" Optimus yelled as he ran in and tried to hold his other half back from hurting Connor, though it did very little as Levi simply flicked his head back and damaged Optimus slightly.
"Levi, what are you doing?" Connor asked before he pressed his belt buckle and his suit came on, suppressing his human side.
"I'll hold him still, refuse with him." Superboy ordered and Optimus nodded before he flicked his head down and his mask appeared, covering his mouth and nose. Levi went to punch Superboy, but it didn't even make him blink, so Superboy grabbed both Levi's arms and held him up, Optimus raced over and place both his hands on his shoulders before they refused and his eyes went back to normal.
"Why are you in your suit...and why are you holding me up?" Levi asked with a confused look before Superboy let go of him and his suit powered down. The two exited their training room just as there was a knock at the door, so M'gann answered.
"Hello miss, I'm special agent William Fowler, I was wondering if Levi Plestart lived here?" The man at the door said and at that point, Levi had another flash, this time an image appeared right in front of him, an image of a face, the face of the girl Transformer saved before he snapped back into sense.
"Sure, he's right here." M'gann said carefully as Levi came into sight.
"Mr. Plestart I'm going to have to ask you some questions." Fowler said and Levi nodded slowly before the two sat on the couches.
"Shoot." Levi said and Fowler laughed slightly.
"I have confirmation that you have amnesia and only have memories of the last 4 weeks is that correct?" He asked and got a nod in response.
"That symbol on your jumper, what do you know about it?" Fowler asked and Levi's heart rate increased slightly.
"It's a clothes brand symbol, isn't it?" He lied and Fowler looked at him with suspicion.
'Levi what did you do?' M'gann thought as she linked the three of them.
'I didn't do anything! Maybe someone saw me and, knows something about Optimus?' Levi thought as Fowler asked another question and once again he answered with a lie.
"Alright, can you tell me your first memory?" Fowler asked and Levi thought back, to Cadmus, he couldn't reveal that.
"I remember, seeing a slight glimpse of light, as it grew bigger and bigger I thought I was dead, but it enveloped me, and I saw an LED light, I felt blankets on top of me, a breeze passing my face, and a little hope left in me." He lied and Fowler sighed and nodded in response.
"I have one last question for you, does the name, Optimus sound familiar to you?" He asked and Levi's heart skipped a beat, before he shook his head in response.
"Thank you for your time." Fowler said before he left.
"How did he know my name?" Optimus asked as he began to think.
"How is that possible?" M'gann asked and Levi shook his head.
"It shouldn't be." He said as they all just watched the door.
20 hours later
Levi sat on the bleachers of the school football field, watching the school's team train, who was that guy? How did he know about Optimus? How did he know where to go?
"You ok Levi?" A voice said, snapping him out of thought, he looked to his left to see Sierra staring at him with a confused look.
"I'm fine." He said before she sat next to him.
"You know, one thing that never gets by me is a lie, so what's wrong?" She pushed and he sighed.
"Yesterday a man came to my house, some guy named Fowler, he kept asking me questions and then he asked me if I'd heard a name before, and it sounded, familiar."Levi explained and Sierra nodded in understanding.
"Can I ask you something?" He asked and she smiled and nodded in response.
"How'd you find me here?" He asked and she smirked.
"I just ended a relationship with an abusive, rude, and above all annoying player in the team, and I saw you." She explained and he smirked in response, before the two could go any further in their conversation a strong wind came on and the light around them began to dim, and slowly a loud whirring noise came into earshot, and got louder and louder, until something emerged from the clouds above them, it looked like a battleship of some sort, only smaller with green and grey tints and lightning bolts painted on it, it was roughly three times the size of Optimus at his full size.
"What the hell is that?" One of the football players yelled before everyone began to panic and ran away. The front of the battleship split in half and that's when Levi and Optimus realised what it was, a Cybertronian, a Transformer. The battleship moved its pieces multiple times until it took the form of a giant Transformer with a strange symbol on its chest.
"That's the decepticon symbol!" Optimus said before the Transformer's eyes glowed a bright red and he touched down on the giant football field.
"TidalWave, online." It said in a deep voice and Levi grabbed Sierra's arm.
"We need to move." He said and she nodded before they raced away with everyone else.
"There's a giant robot attacking the school!" One of the football players yelled as TidalWave used his blasters to destroy multiple pieces of the football field, and the path back into the school, cutting Levi and Sierra from their path of escape.
"Get under the bleachers." Levi said as they both raced under the bleachers and Sierra began to panic.
'Optimus we need to do something.' Levi thought as he looked through the seats to see Tidal wave shooting at the school.
"The school has successfully been evacuated, no casualties." Optimus said and Levi sighed before he directed his attention to Sierra who was breathing quickly and had sweat running down her forehead.
"How good are you at keeping a secret?" He asked and she looked at him as though he was joking around.
"The best, why?" She asked worrily.
"Because what you're about to see is going to be the biggest secret you have to keep, okay?" Levi requested and she panicked a bit more but nodded firmly.
"You can't tell anyone about this." He said, before morphing on his Transformer suit to see Sierra with her eyes wide open in shock. Just next to the half destroyed school stood Jack, Miko and Raf, who were all looking in shock as TidalWave began walking towards the school, Jack pulled out his phone and called an all but too familiar number.
"Guys there's a giant decepticon attacking the school!" He yelled into the phone and on the other end Ratchet received the message.
