"Autobots speaking"

-POV Change-

The time starts on a dreary, dark, and rainy school day. It had been raining for the past 4 To 5 days, but considering the high school's rules, Us students had to come no matter what we told them. My foot tapped quickly and anxiously against the floor, my eyes moving back and forth between the more-than-usual darkened sky and the teacher. The rain poured hard down onto the roof from what I could hear.

I knew something was coming, and based on how my classmates were acting, I could tell they felt the same way. A large boom of lightning flashed through the window, making the room shake and some of the classmates jumped and screamed.

The teacher then tried calming us down, in more of a softer tone as she says "It's ok students, don't worry. The storm will be over before you know it!..."

Boy was she wrong….

In the middle of the lesson, where everyone but myself calmed down a bit, I continued to not pay any attention to the lesson, but outside in the now more than the ever dark sky. The thunder is going harder now every couple of minutes.

I was about to say something to my friend beside me when the power suddenly went out. That's when I knew…..that we were in huge trouble…..I was mostly calm, knowing what to do as my hand gripped both my friend's hands, dragging them out into the hall of the second-floor hall.

The rest of the class ignored the teacher yelling at both of us to come back since they knew I was the most prepared for these types of situations. The teacher tried stopping us but she couldn't since we were already out in the halls.

I quickly told them to sit down and hide their heads as I quickly walked class to class, telling the other students to go out into the halls with teachers yelling at me a couple of times. After a while of getting every student in the halls and protecting themselves with their hands, I made sure that the teachers wouldn't drag anyone back into the classroom.

I walked around each hall, most of everyone was quiet, which was surprising since there were at least a couple of people speaking during the drills.

I listened to the rain beating hard against the roof of the school, along with a few teachers kinda screaming at them to get back in the classroom. The wind was now picking up, blowing against the doors that kept the rain and debris from entering the halls.

I looked at the students around me against the walls, seeing many having a terrified look on their faces. Others had tears streaming down their faces, few had mixed emotions, and only very few had a calm look on their faces.

One teacher glared down at me, demanding the students to get in the classroom before they, including me, we're all going to be sent to detention. I knew it didn't matter either way if we get detention or not because we all knew we would be dead if we headed back.

I let out a sigh, the teacher kept yelling at me for what reason I had no knowledge of. I rolled my eyes and turned away from them, a growl came from behind me as I heard quick footsteps. She then grabbed my wrist, but due to my reflexes, I accidentally punched her stomach.

Her eyes rolled to the back of her head before she flailed to the ground, fainting from the hardness of my punch in her gut. I glare at the other teachers who dare to try and approach me, my knuckles cracking. The few teachers backed away in slight fear of me.

"...I'm not going to ask again, leave us here, or so help me that same thing that happened to her, will happen to you…" They stared at me for a moment, all of them unsure of what to do until one person stepped forward. The principle. Her keys were hanging from her hip, that same annoying stern look she always had ever since I'd begun high school.

"...So, you think you can come in, and take students from their learning," The woman spoke.

"...Yes, and I don't regret it at all. You can't and will not scare or make me obey you. These. Are. Children…If you want me to respect you, then you need to think of others' safety, more."

"I do! But I think that-" "-That the students' knowledge and responsibility are more important? I don't think you realize that student's who are 'dead' will even be worth it." I speak in a cold tone, turning from her as I took care of the students that were shaking like a leaf. A loud roar of the wind and lightning shook the building heavily.

'We can't stay here…even if the teachers try to keep us here…Right.'

I let my voice yell throughout the halls, as loud as I could, I spoke to the students. "Students! Please listen to what I have to say! It might seem scary out there now, But here is not safe! I know it may seem scary outside, believe me! But do not worry, if we help each other, We will be able to escape together!"

"Lisa!..."

"Alisa!"

I suddenly jolt up, A horn of the ferry blowing, indicating that the ferry just landed on the docks of Griffen rock. I roll my eyes, turning my camera to face my best friend, Alexander Junior.

"...You really could have tapped my screen ya know?" "I know that dufus, But yelling is more fun!" He said with a chuckle. I just let out a sigh as I move off the ferry. Alex was holding onto the wheel, I glare at him with my optics. He rolled his eyes and let go, crossing his arms as he pouted.

He then grew curious as Alex tapped onto his device, after a few seconds he grew more serious. He showed me the screen before I went quiet at what I saw.

"...rescue bots?.." "...I believe so..Do you think we shou-"

"No. We stay on course, find chief burns and see if we can find a place to stay."

He stared at me knowingly, letting out a sigh before placing his tablet onto the passenger's seat. I drove swiftly down the roads, turning every once In a while until I made it to a large, red, and grayish building. Alex looked around before speaking in a serious tone, "Maybe we shouldn't Introduce you as… You-Know-What, yet…Cybertronians don't usually take kind to-"

"-I know. But I haven't seen any auto bots since….The great war.."

We both became silent, Deciding it was best to wait for the rescue team, and not discuss a sensitive topic. A few minutes go by, and the door to the firehouse opened, A young sparkling-or well, the human child came out, a curious look in his eyes as he approached. I turned off my camera, going quiet as My best friend soon got out to greet him.

"Um...Can I help you with anything?"

"Sorry, We- I mean I was looking for chief Burns? I thought waiting here would be a good idea in case, Have you seen him?"

"Oh, you mean my dad? He went on a rescue mission with my brothers and sister earlier, they should be back in a couple of minutes. I'm Cody by the way." He spoke with a smile and a hand outstretched for a shake. Alex smiled back and took the gesture, Speaking his name before letting go. Cody glanced over at my vehicle mode and said "Woah, Nice car!"

"Ah, thanks. Before I came here, I have had this car for almost 5 years!" "Noble!" he spoke as he approached me, a smile so big that it seemed contagious. I accidentally let out a chuckle, my friend tensing up slightly as Cody looked slightly confused.

"Who?-" "Ah, Just the engine acting up!..." Cody stared at Alex, then back at me with a suspicious look but then shrugged and continued to talk to my friend. I let out a sigh internally, listening in on the conversation. The conversation soon ended a few minutes later as a fire truck, bulldozer, helicopter, and a police car pulled up.

A male stepped out of the police car, moving closer to us as he then asked, "Made a new friend Cody?" "Oh yeah! Dad, meet Alexander Junior. Alex, Meet my dad, chief burns." He stepped closer to give Chief a handshake, He returned it with a smile.

"Pleasure to meet you, I believe we spoke over the phone about your stay here?" The chief asked curiously.

"Oh yes, I don't mean to be a burden but our- I mean, my home was destroyed by a storm….my friend was caught up in saving people that she….anyways, I think your rescue vehicles look cool!" "haha, glad you think so, this is the latest technology, they are called the rescue bots. Would you like an example?" Alex nodded in excitement, Chief turned to the vehicles, 2 males and a female jumping out of the vehicles before he said "Robots, transform!"

Soon, every one of them transformed. I realized that they were the ones we saw on that camera. Alex discreetly glanced at me before putting a smile on his face. He walked up to one of them, the robot fire truck, and tapped his leg. He turned to them, speaking in an excited tone, "This very high tech! I hope you would allow us- I-I mean Me to stay here?"

I mentally facepalmed, knowing my friend isn't really good at keeping secrets. Chief glanced around, then smiled and nodded. "Welcome to griffin rock."

-At midnight-

The robots stood still, waiting until everyone left before their visors were lifted. The first one to speak was the green one, glancing over at my vehicle form, "That was close…but I'm wondering why that guy was having a hard time speaking?"

The orange and white one spoke next, "Don't you get it? He's hiding something!...could he be an alien?"

The red bot rolled his optics, crossing his arms as he answered the other bot's question bluntly, "No blades. How could a human be such a thing? What I'm curious about is why that guy um…Alex said 'Us' or 'We'.."

The green bot spoke again, "Maybe it's because he's homesick? I sure am…" The bot turned to my vehicle form, I stay as still as I can. He hummed curiously, moving closer to me as he spoke again, "This vehicle seems….High tech. I wonder why he brought his car with him?" "Maybe it's the only thing he has to home?" Blades spoke reluctantly.

They went silent after that, I was slightly curious about what they were thinking about, but my question was soon answered by the police bot, "Well, I believe we should go down to the bunker. I still need to complete on learning the earth's laws and enforcement." He clicked some buttons before all of them went down.

Once I believed the coast was clear, I transformed into my robotic form. Letting out a sigh as I look around. I speak quietly to myself, "...Well, I have some time to kill…Might be a bad idea but maybe a night drive would be good for me…No one would be out at night." I transformed into my vehicle form, slowly moving out and away from the firehouse before I move at a normal speed.

I soon reach a hill close to an outside theatre, my optics looking up at the stars with a smile. I then heard a crack of a branch, a few more before I could realize that a tree was about to fall onto me. I let out a grunt, the tree pushing against the roof of the car, I knew that if I transform people will wonder why I'm without a driver. That will also threaten the disguise of the bots, so I just let out a sigh of annoyance.

-Alex's POV-

My eyes stare up at the ceiling, my mind running wild with different thoughts and how to avoid Alisa from getting caught. My tablet beeped multiple times, I picked it up and realize it was her. I let out a sigh, making sure Cody was asleep before I answered. "What is it this time, dufus?"

She had an annoyed look on her faceplate for a moment before she spoke, "Ok, one never call me that again, second….I may have gotten stuck while taking a drive?..." I just stare at the screen, baffled at how dumb, yet genius of a friend I have. A groan escaped my lips before I then ask, "...And where are you?...your lucky your my friend otherwise I wouldn't help you…"

She chuckled nervously before she said her location. "...You might get questioned at why you're leaving….Damn, We really are bad at this." I chuckle in agreement. I then heard a quiet groan, glancing over at Cody that is stirring awake. "Cody's waking up….think he can help out?" She seemed to have her thinking face on before nodding, giving me good luck before ending the connection.

'...Welp, here we go' " Hey Cody?...I kinda need help with something…." He looked over at me in confusion…

-Alisa's POV-

For what felt like forever, I could finally hear sirens moving closer. I let out a sigh as I could now see all of the rescue bots, for whatever reason they are all here. The red bot let out Cody before transforming, picking up the tree and placing it down. Alex gets outside of the police bot, an annoyed look on his face before he turned to Cody who had a bewildered look on his expression.

Alex let out a sigh, crossing his arms before speaking. "Alright….Do you want the truth?..." Cody nodded before asking many questions, "How did the car get here? Was it stolen? Did it drive itself here? Is it an auto bot or-"

"Woah there Cody, I'll answer your questions later…right now, we need to go before your spotted without drivers…. let's head back to the firehouse…" They all nodded, Cody and Alex, hopping into me as we drove off.

We soon made it to the firehouse, The doors closing behind us as the bots transformed into their other forms. Cody and Alex got out as I shut the doors behind them. Alex crossed his arms, glaring at me before exclaiming loudly, "What were you thinking?! You could have been seriously hurt or caught, making those Bot's exposed!"

I stay silent, an annoyed look showing on my expression as Cody looked at Alex like he was crazy. I let out a sigh, glaring at Alex but before I could speak, blades then spoke with slight excitement, "Wait wait wait….Is he a….auto-bot?!"

They all went quiet at Blades' assumption, Alex rolled his eyes before speaking, "...Wanna tell them?...You could get attacked but-"

"-Why not? We both knew that we would get caught sooner or later. And Blades, I'm a Femme, not a mech." I transformed into my robotic form, all their mouths agape. Alex crossed his arms before speaking in a reluctant tone, "...Bots, Cody…Meet Alisa…Another cybertronian…"
