After driving for a little while our group separated into two groups. Bee, Skids, Mudflap, Sam, Mikaela, and myself went to hide. While the rest of the Autobots would go back to base. Since Sam and I's mug shot is now posted by the government for retrieval for the Decepticons the Autobots saw fit to hide us. I just wish Jazz was here.
We arrive at an abandoned penitentiary lot where we shouldn't be spotted. We get out of Bee and try to relax our weary minds. My mind keeps replaying the image of Optimus' death over and over again. We go into a building and I sit on the floor at rest my hands on my head trying to calm my nerves.
Unfortunately, they get aggravated again with what Leo says after listening to the news on his phone. "You guys have got to listen to this. You need to check this out. They have a picture of me man! We're dead! FBI! CIA! We are wanted fugitives!" He exclaims as he comes down the stairs.
Sam helps me up and we leave the building with Leo ranting behind us. "I just need you two to focus for one minute you two. This thing has blown up to a whole nother level alright?"
Sam grabs Leo's phone and says,"You see this? They can track us with this." He then slams the phone on the ground and stomps on it until it breaks. We then keep walking.
Leo follows after us saying,"They can track us? Like satellite track us? Woah woah woah woah. I'm not even with you guys. Technically this is a kidnapping. Enough is-"
"Yo Leo!" Skids interrupts scaring Leo."
"These things are gonna give me a heart attack I swear." Leo says.
"That's cuz yuz a wuss." Mudflap says. "Oh I think he's scared."
"Yo Mudflap. What are we gonna do wit this shrimp taco?" Skids asks his brother.
"We just pop a cap in his a- - and throw him in da trunk and ain't nobody gonna know nutin now won't they?" Mudflap replies.
"Not in my trunk." Skids argues.
"Hey I'm hearing you okay? I'm right here and I can hear you. No one popping any caps in any a- ok? I've had a hell of a day!" Leo exclaims frantically.
"Why don't you get a hair cut wit your b- - - a - -. Go on and whine ta ya boyfriend." Skids taunts as Mudflap makes a face at him.
Leo then turns to us and says,"Listen guys I don't know what to do. I'll just go to the authorities and tell then the truth. I had nothing to do with this-"
"Hey hey, you wanted his right? You wanted the real deal. That's what this is so wake up. Your in the middle of it. You wanna run? No ones stopping you! So stop complaining!" Sam yells at me before walking off.
I go to follow when Leo says,"I'm sorry ok this is just a lot to take in."
"Don't talk to me about something being a lot to take in." I reply before walking after Sam. Of course I'm talking about what Megatron told me, but Leo doesn't need to know that.
Nightfall eventually falls on us and we are all sitting in a clearing around a fire that Mikaela made with the bots sitting close by. Not much is being said, but if I'm being honest then that's fine with me. I'm not in the mood for chatter anyway.
Sam walks over after being by himself and hugs Mikaela when he gets to her. "There's nothing that you could have done." She reassures him before letting go. She then turns to me and says,"Either of you."
I don't reply.
Sam then walks up to Bee and says,"Bee? If you hate me I understand...I messed up."
Bee whirs sadly before saying,"Young fella you are the person I care about most in my life...if there's anything you need I won't be far away."
"He's dead because of me and Averie. He came to protect us." Sam mutters.
"Sam, don't make Averie feel bad." Mikaela warns him.
"No. He's right. If we hadn't of touched that sliver then none of his would have happened...and maybe Optimus wouldn't of had to die." I add.
"There's some things in life you just can't change...so his sacrifice for us would not have been in vain. Hallelujah!" Bees radio says.
"I'm gonna make it right and turn myself in." Sam says.
"We've got to stay together." Bee says as he transforms into alt mode.
"Your not gonna do that. Either of you." Mikaela states.
"Yes I am." He mutters.
Bee drives up to him and bumps him with his bumper and says,"Everything we've worked for will be wiped out in one day."
Sam takes on a thoughtful look and walks over to me and asks,"Do you have a marker or a pen in your bag?"
Looking confused at the request I simply take my bag off my back and search it for the requested item. I find a marker and give it to him.
He then draws on his arm with it, drawing one of the symbols we've been seeing. He then goes up to the twins and asks,"You two, you know the glyphs? The symbols that have been swimming around in my head?" He then shows then the symbol he drew on his arm.
"Oh dats ol' school yo! Dats dats Cyber'tonian." Skids says.
"They've gotta mean something like a message? Or like a map to an energon source. Can you read this?" Sam asks.
"Read? Na na. We don't really do much readin'." Mudflap replies.
"Well if you can't read them then we'll have to find someone who can." Sam says.
Our attention is then brought to Leo walking up.
"Ah look who came sashaying back. Head growing like a chia pet." Mudflap says.
"I had a mild panic attack earlier alright." Leo says.
"Dats cause you's a wuss." Mudflap says and then fist bumps Skids.
"I think I'm allowed that considering what I've been through alright." Leo says. He then turns to Sam and says,"I heard your problem and I think I know someone who can help."
"Who?" Sam asks.
"Robo warrior." Leo replies.
"Robo warrior? Your little rival from your website?" I ask.
"Sure is and if anyone can help you then he can. I'm sure of it." Leo assures.
"Alright, looks like we've got a plan. We can head out in the morning. Let's get some rest." Sam says. He and Mikaela lay down on a spot on the ground while Leo and the twins crash where they stand.
I lay down at a secluded spot away from the others, hoping to get some rest. After an hour I wake up in fright from another nightmare. This time, instead of Megatron, I see Optimus' death playing over and over. Normally when I have a nightmare I sleep in Jazz's alt mode, but since he isn't here I hope Bee won't mind.
I walk over to his alt mode and lightly tap on the window as I whisper,"Bee? I had a nightmare and I usually sleep with Jazz when I do, but he isn't here. Would you mind if I slept in your back seat?"
Bees answer is him opening his door. I climb into his back seat and get myself comfortable. "Thank you Bee. Sorry if I woke you."
"Don't worry. Be happy." Bee says from a clip while rumbling his engine comfortably.
I sigh and snuggle onto the seat and sigh,"It doesn't seem real Bee. It feels like a bad dream that I haven't woken up from yet...I can't believe he's gone."
Bee whirs as he rumbles in comfort. "Gone but not forgotten." His radio says from a serman.
With that in mind I fall back asleep all while wishing I had Jazz here with me.
The next morning everyone gets up and we travel to the city to where Leo's directions take us. "This guy RoboWarrior? Everything about anything alien he's supposed to know. One time we revenges hacked his site and maybe I saw some of your uh...alien drawings or whatever." Leo states.
We first stop by a clothing store since the ones we're wearing are shredded and dirty. We all pick out something. I pick out a pair of black skinny jeans, flat black boots, a white graphic tee, and a light silver jacket with black trimming, and a simple black fedora hat. After that we soon stop in front of a deli shop and get out.
"This is it. Deli. Wait here and I'll give you the go no go alright?" Leo says before walking inside.
"I hope Leo knows what he's talking about with this guy." I state.
"You and me both." Sam says.
We wait for a few minutes and decide to peek inside. Sam goes in first and when Leo spots him points to the man at the counter and says,"That's him! That's him! That's the guy right ther! That's him!"
We look at who he's pointing to and can't believe our eyes. "You've gotta be kidding me." Sam mutters.
"Alright meat stores closed! Everybody out! Right now! That means you lady. Right now." Simmons says as he herds people out of the store.
"Wait, you know this guy?" Leo asks.
"He's an old friend." Sam says sarcastically.
Simmons stands in front of us and says,"Ha! Your the case that shot down Sector 7. Got the kibosh disbanded. No more securely clearance, no retirement, no nothing. All because of you and your criminal girlfriend now looking so mature." He says about Mikaela. He then turns to me and says,"And let's not forget the ball crusher."
I roll my eyes and say,"Oh for goodness sake let it go. It's not like you had a set to hurt anyway I'm sure."
He glares and says,"There's the sense of humor we all know and hate. Don't quit your day job kid."
"Bet you wish you could quit yours huh?" I ask snidely.
Before he can reply a woman in the shop says,"Where's the white batch?"
A man chopping meat says to the man passing him,"Don't touch me with the pig!"
"Yauko!" Simmons says.
"What?!" He asks.
"You don't get Christmas bonus just standing around. You want those new teeth you saw in skymall?" Simmons asks.
"It's my dream." The man replies.
"Then help her out." Simmons adds.
"Mikaela and I laugh as she asks,"You live with your mamma?"
"No my mamma lives with me. Its a big difference." Simmons says to her. He then turns to me and Sam and says,"They've got your faces all over the news you two. And NBE -1 still kicking huh? How did that happen? Don't answer. I don't know what your hiding and I don't want anything to do with it so goodbye you never saw me. I got bagels to smear."
"Can you give me five seconds. Hold on we need your help." Sam says.
"Really? You need my help?" Simmons asks snidely.
"Look I am slowly loosing my mind. Me and Averie had a little crab bot plunge a device into the soft tissues of our brain and started projecting alien symbols like a freakin home movie and on top of that we're wanted fugitives. So you think you've got it rough?" Sam rants.
"You said it projected images off your brain?" Simmons asks. "Meat locker now!" He then leads us to where pigs are hanging where he kneels on the floor by a little door.
"We gross." Mikaela says grossed out by the pigs.
"I think I just became a vegetarian." I add.
"What your about to see is top secret. Do not tell my mother." Simmons says. He then opens the little trap door to reveal a ladder going down into a lit room.
"Swine flu. Not good." Leo jokes.
"Now you know. Next time you eat a goat or a pig there's a story behind it." Simmons says as we reach the bottom of the ladder and sit at the table.
Simmons grabs a paper and turns to Sam and I. "Alright tweedle dee and dumb. These look like the symbols you saw?"
"Where did you get these?" Sam asks.
"Before I got fired I approached S-7 crown jewel. Seventy-five years of alien research escaped one fact; the transformers? They've been here a long long time. How do I know?" Simmons asks while throwing down a box, which I caught.
"Archeologists found these unexplained markings all over the world." Simmons says climbing down. We sit back at the table as he continues ,"China, Egypt, Greece." He then plays an old footage. "Shot in 1932. These are the symbols your seeing in your head? The same ones over here right? So tell me, how did they all end up drawing the same thing? aliens and I think some of them stayed."
Simmons holds up a file saying,"Check this out. Project BlackKnife. Robots in disguise. Hiding here all along. We detected radioactive signatures all across the country. I pleaded with Sector-7 to investigate bit they said the readings were infinitesimal. That I was obsessed! Can you believe that?"
"Megatron said that there was another energon source here." Sam says.
"On Earth? Another source?" Simmons asks.
"Yes and that these symbols Averie and I have been seeing are a map and will lead him there." Sam adds.
"Did you tell your Autobot friends about this?" Simmons asks.
"No no the source is before them. Whatever this source is it predates them." Sam says.
"So it comes before them? Well then report...unless we can take to a Decepticon. But I'm not on speaking terms with one." Simmons says.
Suddenly Mikaela speaks up saying,"Actually I am."
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"Just wait." She says before getting up and leaving. After a minute or two she comes back with the box she had with her. She places it on the table when I hear a voice inside say,"Let me out!"
"Is is gonna be a little bit sad." She warns. She then opens the lid and a small Decepticon suddenly pops out but doesn't get far with the chain attached to its neck, with the other end being held by Mikaela. She then holds a small welder to its face and says,"Hey! Behave."
"Are you seriously training a Decepticon?" I ask in shock.
"Trying to." She says pitifully.
Simmons stares at him as he says,"Spent my whole adult life combing life for aliens and you one in your purse like a little chihuahua."
The little con turns to him and says,"You wanna throw down you pubic throw head?"
Mikaela turns it's attention back to her and says,"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry about your eye but if your a good boy then I'm not gonna torch your other eye. I'm not gonna torch it. Just tell me what these symbols mean? Please?"
It works cause the little con bends down to look at the pictures of the symbols. "Oh I know that. That's the language of the Primes. I don't read it but these guys...where the freak did you find photos of these guys?"
"Is this them?" Sam asks.
"Yeah. Seekers pal. Oldest of the old. Oh they've been here for thousands of years looking for something." He says.
"What are they looking for?" I ask.
"I don't know what. Nobody tells me nothing." He replies.
"Do you know if they could translate these symbols then?" I ask.
"Oh yeah. They'll translate them for ya." He replies. "And I know where to find them."
"Show us." Simmons says.
The little con turns to the map on the wall and green lasers shoot from his optics pointing to different ones in America.
"The closest ones in Washington." Simmons says.
"Capital here we come." I say.
There y'all go! I'm sorry it was short but sometimes it's hard where is a good spot to stop. Again, I'm sorry it was so late.! Hope to have another sooner since I don't have school tomorrow. :)
