Chapter 9: Autobots ain't leaving
Missions City was completely wrecked. The Autobots and Decepticons had destroyed nearly everything. But had saved the world doing it.
At first I thought the Autobots would go home, seems they had done there job. But Optimus Prime said that with their All Spark gone, they can't return to their planet.
We got a call from the Secretary of Defense, Keller. He spoke for Sector Seven and said that the Autobots could use S7 as a temporary base, to stay hidden.
I was riding in Optimus Prime, Bumblebee was still kinda hurt, and he couldn't transform properly without his legs. So Ratchet had put his legs in something Ratchet called a subspace, where the legs seemed to disappear in thin air, but Ratchet was actually carrying them. Bumblebee was still attached to the Tow Truck, as one of the soldiers was driving it.
I was quiet. Sam and Mikaela has sat in Ironhide, with Lennox and Epps. So I was by myself, and I didn't know what to say to a Autobot Leader who had saved my life. It was kinda awkward and I wished I had choose to ride with Jazz instead.
Hoover Dam wasn't that far anyway, it was around 20 miles from Missions City. It felt weird driving back from Mission City. Not too long ago we was driving towards Mission City, the Cube in ours hands and Megatron on our tails, but now everything was okay.
"Clara, are you alright?"
I jumped just a little bit as Optimus spoke up, surprising me a little. "Yeah, sorry. I was thinking about stuff"
"About what?" Optimus asked.
"Well. The battle, I never realised how scary it was. I saved a life, and was saved a few times..I mean it was weird" I stopped for a minute "Thank you, by the way. For catching me and Sam when we fell"
"No problem, Clara. You and Sam, you actually sacrificed yourselves, than give Megatron the Cube" Optimus Primes voice came from the radio.
"Of course, Optimus. I'd rather do that, than Megatron-" I flinched a little, hearing his name still gave me shivers, I closed my eyes and quickly continued before Optimus would notice "-dominating all life form"
"You and Sam have such bravely, for being at such a young age" Optimus said.
I smiled a little in reply. I didn't know what else to say, until my eyes landed on Jazz in the wing mirror. Of course! How did I forget I saw Jazz die, and then someone spoke to me sending me back to save Jazz!
"Optimus, who is.." What was his name? Pringles? No..Private? No..Primrose? Hehe no..Primus! That's it. "Who is Primus?"
Optimus skidded a little over the road before quickly straightening up. "Why do you ask?"
I didn't answer at first, I was wondering why he skidded all over the road. "Well, something happened, and this..voice spoke to me. All I could see was bright orange eyes, they claimed to be Pringles- I mean Primus!" I sweated a little, why the hell did I even say Pringles?
Optimus seemed to chuckle a little, then stop "Wait, you say he spoke to you?"
"Yes"
"That's strange. What happened exactly?" He asked.
"Well, I ran after Jazz, he was grabbed by..Megatron. I was stood under the building and he killed Jazz! It was horrible, Optimus. Two half's of Jazz landed either side of me, he was gone. I closed my eyes, and when I had opened them, everything was black, but I could see a greyish outline of a floor, the ground." I took a breath "Then this voice spoke to me, he knew my name. He said about how Jazz had saved me and he made me feel guilty. I said that if I could, I would definitely saved Jazz's life, then he..well I blinked as everything went bright white. When I opened them Jazz was back on the building with Megatron, so I ran up, distracted Megatron, and Jazz was saved. He wasn't dead. Was that all real? Or was I seeing..things. Maybe I hit my head"
Optimus seemed to think this through "I believe this did happen, Clara."
"But..no one can turn back time. Or- How Optimus?" I tilted my head.
"Primus, is our God"
"His-what?" I widened my eyes "But, if his your God, how did he change something on our planet?"
"I think its because of Jazz, he is Cybertronian. One of his own creations."
"But, then why'd Primus not, save you planet..help you get rid of Megatron?" I asked.
"That, I do not know..." He finished off.
After that we didn't speak for a while, not saying much at all until Optimus said "We better not talk about this in front of the others, they may get confused"
"Yeah, I do see why"
"We could refer him as...Pringles. If you ever want to speak to me about him" Optimus said.
I smiled a little "Yeah, okay"
We finally arrived a few minutes after me and Optimus' Pringle conversation. Driving outside of Hoover Dam, all cars and Autobots had stopped.
Humans excited the vehicles, and stood around waiting for orders. I jumped out of Optimus and ran over to Sam and Mikaela.
"Hey guys!" I crushed Sam into a hug, to which he returned but I think he was confused.
"Sorry Sam-" I stepped back "I just realised how close we was to actually dying. Sam we fell from a building!"
Mikaela looked at me and Sam "You guys did? What happened?" She asked a little shocked.
"Well me and Clara was running with the Cube, right? Well we got to the building and that Starscream guy shot the chopper down. Then me and Clara had to hide" Sam smiled a little from the shock on Mikaela's face.
"Then Megatron tried to make a deal with us, he said he would keep us alive if we gave him the All Spark" I said "Of course, Me and Sam wasn't gonna do that. So you know, he smashed the building and we fell." I finished.
"You actually fell! How did you guys survive?" Mikaela asked.
"Optimus caught us" Sam said "Just before me and Clara would be a mess on the sidewalk"
Mikaela laughed a little and she told us about how her and Bumblebee took down this Decepticon that Bee had called Blackout or something?
"You drove backwards, through all that war..and shooting? That's amazing Mikaela!" I smiled.
At that moment William Lennox had walked up to us "Alright, guys we could probably take you all home in a few days. We just gotta get a few things sorted out. You'll be staying here for a few days"
Me, Sam and Mikaela all just nodded.
"Oh, Sam your parents are here" Lennox said.
Sam widened his eyes and asked where they was, Lennox pointed them out not to far in the distance. He ran over to them and was crushed into hug by Mr and Mrs Witwicky.
"Oh and Clara, your brother is here"
I must have got whiplash how fast I spun my head to the Major. "He is!? How he didn't get put in a S7 car like us?"
Lennox shook his head "No, but he did steal your Mum's car and follow them."
"Did he see..the Autobots?" I asked.
"Yeah, but only to here, Hoover Dam. He didn't get to Mission City thankfully." Lennox informed me.
I nodded and looked around, spotting Jensen in the distance. Jensen stood alone, and looking around at everyone. I smiled at Mikaela as I rushed towards my brother.
"Clara!" He hugged me tightly around the shoulders "I was so worried!"
"I'm so sorry, Jensen!" I hugged him, even though my brother may have ignored me, while Mum was gone, I have kinda missed him. He was my brother.
"Who was this people? That took you and the Witwicky's?" He asked.
"They're something called Sector Seven. They knew about, the giant aliens..and they experimented on their bad guys Leader." I stopped, not wanting to even say his name.
"Yeah, but why did they take you?"
"I don't know, S7 are real douches-" I stopped as Seymour Simmons walked past, that smug smiled plastered on his face.
"Oh hey, Simmons. Why so smug?" My brother looked a little shocked, as I spoke to Simmons like that.
"Oh great, its Little Miss Attitude." He said sarcastically "And if you should know, I just saved your ass"
I raised am eyebrow "Urm. How did you do that exactly?"
Simmons smiled "While I was fighting off a nasty little Decepticon, your friend Glenn called the Air Force, and sent them to Mission City"
I made an 'o' shape with my mouth. "Oh..Thanks? I guess"
"You 'guess'? If it wasn't for me Glenn, Maggie and Keller you and all them soilders would still be fighting out there!" He kinda yelled a little.
My brother tensed a little bit, but I ignored him. "Yes, the Air Force probably did help. But it was I and Sam who destroyed the Decepticon Leader, not some little 'Con"
Simmons pouted a little. He actually pouted! "What's wrong?" I asked.
"Thanks to you and that Wilwiky kid- ("Its Witwicky!") S7 has been shut down" He crosses his arms.
"Is that a bad thing?" I smiled "I mean, your stupid base did un-freeze Megatron.."
"Actually, it wasn't us. It was this" Simmons lifted up a glass container he had behind him, along with loads of files which I think he was stealing. I looked at the glass container and widened my eyes.
"Y-you sure it was him who started this whole thing?" I asked, looking into the dead head of Frenzy. The one who I throw off the edge of the dam! I didn't know it would send him straight to Megatron!
"Yes, I am sure" He said. Great. Now all the weight just landed on my shoulders.
Me and Jensen walked away from Simmons as I saw him smuggling out some classified files and Frenzy's head. We walked other to a group of soilders, and stood with Sam, Mr and Mrs Witwicky, and Mikaela.
Keller was stood, talking to Lennox, Epps and some others that I did not recognize, S7 agents was there to.
"Gentlemen, the President has ordered Sector Seven be terminated and the remains of the dead aliens disposed of." Keller started, a few groans was heard, yes, Sector Seven was losing their jobs, they deserve that for what they did to Bumblebee.
"The Laurentian Abyss is seven miles below sea level, deepest place on our planet. The massive depth and pressure there, coupled with subfreezing temperatures, would crush and entomb them, leaving no evidence." I raised my eyebrows a little, poor Megatron. His gonna be dumped at the bottom of the ocean.
Me, Sam, Jensen and Mikaela followed the soilders and Keller into Hoover Dam, where S7-used-to-be-based. Sam and Mikaela saw a cafeteria and went straight there to eat. To be honest, I was hungry and thirsty aswell, I haven't ate for at least a day or so. But I didn't follow my two friends into the Cafeteria, I kept on walking and started to wander.
"Hey, Clara!" I turned around at my brothers voice.
"Hey, Jensen" I said a bit sadly.
"What's up, are you not hungry?" He asked.
"Nah, I'm okay" I shrugged.
"Not even a PB&J?" He teased.
It was tempting. "Im fine." I wasn't. Seeing Sam with his parents, made my stomach lurch one way. I missed my Mum, I didn't realise it till now that, maybe she wasn't coming back. I always thought that maybe, just maybe she would come home, but an alien war got in the way and it distracted me for a while, but seeing Mrs Witwicky...I remembered my Mum. Oh yeah, I also let Frenzy into S7 and help bring Megatron back!
"Your not fine. Is this about Mum?" He asked, hugging with one arm around my shoulders. Comforting me for once.
"Yeah..it is.." I signed a little. I frowned and pushed his arm away "Why'd you not talk to me? Did you even know where I was..or even care!?"
"Of course I cared, Clara. I thought you needed space..I needed to think by myself, so I thought that you would to..and.." Jensen stopped, and I spoke up.
"You had a party then? Not to long ago actually"
"I needed company, I was trying not to think about Mum! I knew you was next door, but I thought that if I approached you, that you would get mad..and when I saw them..agents dragging you from the Witwicky's, I just let out all my anger"
I nodded a little, staring at him "What happened, when they took me. What did you do exactly?"
"I grabbed the keys to Mums car, and followed the best I could. I saw an, what 30 foot robot stopped your car. I was gonna follow further but the tyres was all blew up as that black robot hit the road. That's when S7 took me here. I tried to find you, but this evil looking robot was attacking. The best I could do was hide, as he smashed people here and...everywhere" Jensen finally stopped talking.
I smiled and just hugged him around the torso "Mum will come back, right?" I asked, trying not to lose hope.
"Sure, 'Ara" He smiled.
I groaned "Don't call me Ara, its not even a good shortened name of Clara"
My brother rolled his eyes "Wanna get something to eat?" He asked.
"Im okay, just gonna find a toilet. See ya" I waved and quickly walked away. I didn't mind hanging with Jensen, but that idiot should have contacted me while I was in Judy Witwicky's care.
I wandered the halls, there was so many different chambers and halls I felt like I was in the dungeons of Hogwarts.
Around half an hour later I walked down a hall I recognized, or did I run down it last time. I looked in one giant door and recognized it as the room where Bumblebee was being tortured. I clenched my fists at my side, damn them S7 agents.
Looking again I realized that Bumblebee and Ratchet was in there. Bee was laying on the same table he was being frozen, his was very brave to lay there again, while Ratchet walked around him.
I stepped in and froze, Bumblebee's legs..I had completely forgotten. There was still gone. He was whining and he looked like he was in pain. I felt tears stinging in my eyes. It was my fault, all my fault! If I haven't thrown Frenzy of the dam, he wouldn't have awoken Mega..the Decepticon Leader. And they wouldn't have attacked Mission City and..shot of his legs. Why did I throw him! Why did I do it? His legs...
I ran up to the giant berth and signed "Bee...your legs"
Bumblebee looked down to me and seemed to have smiled. He meant forward to be pushed back down by Ratchet. "Stay down, Bumblebee" he commanded.
I smiled a little as Ratchet approached. Without a blink, Ratchet had picked me up and placed me on the berth beside Bumblebee. "Now I don't have to worry about stepping on you" He said simply.
I nodded and look towards Bee. I knelt down beside his head and signed "Bee I'm so sorry.." I said quietly.
"Hakuna Matata!" I tilted my head as Bumblebee sung. He coughed a little "You don't need...to apologize"
"What happened to your voice. I thought Mikaela fixed it?" I asked.
"She did" Ratchet replied, I looked up to the Medic "But wires was sparking by his throat and he was in pain, Mikaela had connect the wrong voice processor wires, his voice only worked for a while"
"Oh.." I said "I like Bumblebee using songs though. Its cute"
Bumblebee laughed and waved his hand "Stop it! Stop it!" He seemed to smiled then suddenly whine.
I spun around to see Ratchet welding Bumblebee's legs back on, his small visor up.
Ratchet growled and stepped back "I hate fixing limbs!" He seemed to get really annoyed while Bumblebee was whining still.
"Ratchet, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Attaching limbs are quite simple, but attaching all the small cords and wires is a stressful job" He groaned.
I walked down the end of Bumblebee's legs. There was attached by Ratchet's built in welder. But some really small cords that was just under his armour wasn't connected.
This was my fault. Bee was hurt because of me. So I had to help him. "I can help, Ratchet"
Ratchet turned to me while Bee made a confused noise. "What do you mean?" He asked.
"Well, to you guys..I'm like and ant-sized Hobbit. My hands are small" I held them up "I could reach inside Bees armour and help connect whatever wires you said about." I shrugged.
Bumblebee made a happy chirp, as Ratchet grunted a little, thinking what I said through, I think. "Alright. But you have to listen to me, do not connect the wrongs wires, his legs may have a spaz or something of the sorts"
I nodded "Your the Doc"
"Don't call me Doc" He growled a little "Just follow my orders, and this should be done quicker than I can do it" Ratchet walked behind me and knelt down beside the berth.
"See that red-ish colour wire-" Ratchet started.
I saw the redish colour wire. I quickly slipped off my Dar red hoodie to make this job easier. I dropped the jumper behind me and frowned a little as my jumper was very dirty and now teared in places. I then slowly reached in behind Bumblebee's yellow armour.
Ratchet tapped the piece of armour, scaring me a little I quickly removed my hand.
Ratchet frowned "Come on, Clara. Just connect it to the upper half of Bee's legs. Its simple its the same colour"
I carefully put my hand under Bees armour and pulled the red wire forwards towards Bees upper thigh. As soon as it neared the other end it started to spark blue a little. I bit my lip and my eyes watered, what if something went wrong? What if I hurt Bee even more. I closed my eyes and finally put the two ends together.
I jumped back as Bees leg suddenly jerked and the armour where my hand was flexed and formed around his leg perfectly. "Was that s'pose to happen?" I asked.
"Yes, that's good. Bumblebee's armour is now working around his wounded legs. Its a good thing, Clara" Ratchet said.
"Okay" I smiled.
Ratchet then pointed to a black wire just under Bumblebee's knee armour. I simply had to connect it again to the other black wire on the other side of his upper thigh.
It was a bit harder than the red. I hopped up onto Bee's leg, and tried to be as careful as possible, I didn't wanna harm Bee or get a hand trapped in some armour. I picked up the broken black wire and connected it to the other.
It sparked a blue and his knee armour moved. I tried to catch my grip but fell off Bee's leg and landed between both of his legs.
I heard Bumblebee's robotic laughter as I stood and growled at him "Shut up, Bee. That scared me"
Ratchet chuckled a little "Seems I have a little assistance. Here" He lifted me back on Bumblebee's leg and showed me the next wire. There was a tone of wires to connect that was in the most awkward of places around Bumblebee's leg, all the wires seemed to connect so his armour would move and mold around his leg. It took forever and I was still on the first leg.
"Okay, the last one is under his knee" Ratchet explained, lifting up Bumblebee's leg so it was propped up slightly. I stood underneath, ducking down slightly.
"Right. Its the yellow wire, it should bring back the feelings in Bumblebee's leg. He then would be able to move it, without pain"
"Should?" I questioned.
"Just get on with it, Clara" He growled.
I nodded, and carefully took the yellow wire. It was right underneath Bee's armour and was so difficult to get it. I wondered how Ratchet would have done it without my help..giant tweezers?
I pulled it forward gently and connect it with the other yellow wire. It sparked blue more than the others, I quickly dived backwards as Bumblebee leg kicked out suddenly.
Bee smiled "I feel good!"
I smiled and wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand.
"You're not done yet, Clara" Ratchet said.
I nodded and walked over to Bee's other leg. It must have took nearly an hour, connecting all the coloured wires, so that the armour fixed around his leg and knee. I got to the last part and connected the two yellow wires, diving out the way as Bee's leg kicked out sparking and he got his feeling back.
Ratchet smiled "Well done, Clara" He congratulated me.
I smiled "No problem, I had to help Bee, his my friend" I stopped there, I couldn't tell the Autobots that it was my fault that Megatron was awoken...they would never forgive me.
Bumblebee stood up on his legs to test them, and against Ratchets wishes he transformed into his sexy Chevy Camaro.
I smiled and slid down from the berth, I ran over to Bumblebee and hugged his hood awkwardly. Upon opening my eyes, Bee had transformed and had me cuddled in his arms. It felt weird at first, like I was a child in a fathers arms..but I remember it was Bumblebee, and I snuggled against his arm as he made a small purring noise that made me giggle.
After I was placed back on the floor, me and Bee followed Ratchet out the room and down the hallways. At first I had no idea where we was going, until I saw Ironhide, Optimus and Jazz stood in the room. Jazz!
I ran up to him and giggled "You're okay!"
"'Corse I 'am, Clara" He smiled, picking me up a bit like Bumblebee did and hugging me to his chest. That's where I knew their Sparks lie, it was warm and comforting against Jazz's chest plates, and I kinda missed it when he placed me back on the floor.
Optimus turned around and smiled at me a little, and Bumblebee seeing his legs was all okay now.
"Bumblebee, glad you legs are alright, old friend" He said.
"Thanks..to Clara!" Bumblebee chirped.
Optimus looked down to me and stared a little "Pringles didn't have anything to help you, Clara?"
I tilted my head a little then quickly shook my head "Nope, done it all by myself. Ask Ratchet"
Ratchet nodded "Its right, Prime. Clara was a great help"
Optimus looked around a little as Sam and Mikaela entered the room, Jensen was still probably eating. "I think a small celebration can be held for our victory. Anyone wanna go for a drive?" Optimus had a small glint in his eyes.
Sam and Mikaela hopped inside a healthy Bumblebee. While I looked around. Jazz park just infront of me. I didn't even realise they all transformed.
I climbed into Jazz's passenger seat. And he drove, following the Prime. Ironhide, Ratchet and Bee behind us.
These poor Autobots deserved a rest, their war, by the sound of it, has been going on for too long. It sounded like they never get a rest or a day off. I then realized how easy my life is, I always stressed over school and grades, trying to get good grades. Now, after fighting in an alien war, I don't seem to care about my grades.
"So Clara?" I looked at Jazz's radio as he called me.
"Yeah?"
"You said ya sav'd mah. Wha' di' ya mean ba tha'?" He asked.
"Oh, I thought you died, but you cleary didn't. Because that would be ridiculous" I quickly lied. I cursed myself, I didn't like lying to Jazz, he was like the father I never had.
"I kno' ya lyin'" I flinched.
"Come on, Jazz don't make this harder for me. Optimus said not to...tell. And I can't-" The image of Jazz's body popped into my mind. I closed my eyes and slowed my breathing "I can't think about it"
"It's okah, sparkli' if Optimus said so.." He trailed of awkwardly.
"What's a matter?" I asked him.
"Ah..'Ah hope ya don' kno' wha' sparklin' means. Im sorry, 'ah shouldn' hav' call'd ya it"
I tilted my head "Jazz I don't know what Sparkling means anyway. Its not an insult, is it?"
"Far from it" He spoke.
"What does it mean, then?" I asked.
"A Sparkling, is lik' a child. Eva sinc' 'ah sav'd ya. I feel lik' 'ah need'd ta protec' ya"
"You-" I stopped, wanting to say the right words "Jazz, you feel like a father to me. And I know that sounds stupid! But I haven't had a father to protect me, apart from my brother.."
"Sinc' tha las' sparkli' wah born, no ova could be mad'" Jazz explained sadly.
"So you couldn't create cyber babies after...when the war started?" I asked.
"No..'ah couldn'"
"Would you, if you could, have a sparkling?"
" 'ah woul' hav' three" He said.
"You really feel like Im a sparkling to you?"
"Yeah.."
"Well I really appreciate that Jazz!" I smiled, to which Jazz made a happy purring sound from around me.
We stopped at a hill side, over looking the nearest city from Hoover Dam. I climbed out of Jazz as he transformed, so did Optimus Prime.
Bumblebee, Ratchet and Ironhide all stayed in their car modes. They must have been resting.
Sam and Mikaela got out of Bee and must have realised what they just went through, as they pulled into each other and kissed! I smiled, their first kiss! They finished what they was going to do in Mission City before Ironhide called Sam away.
I patted Jazz's leg and smiled up to him, as he smiled at me. He picked me up gently in his arms. I cuddled against his chest, smiling. Feeling better than I have all day.
He walked over to Optimus Prime. Being Optimus' First Lieutenant, I suppose they had to speak or something. But Optimus started speaking to the sky instead..was he sending a message like Bumblebee did in that old train dump place?
"With the All Spark gone, we cannot return life to our planet." Optimus started "And fate has yielded its reward, a new world to call home." Optimus smiled at me and Jazz.
"We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage." Optimus nodded at me again "And though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye" Optimus looked to Sam and Mikaela and quickly turned away. I looked around Jazz and saw Sam and Mikaela making out on Bumblebee! Poor Bee.
Optimus faced the city below and out his hands on his hips "I am Optimus Prime and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here. We are waiting." He finished.
I looked to Optimus and smiled "People will be saying that speech for years"
