Chapter 12: The Galactus
"Can I go now Ratchet?" I groaned, falling backwards from my sitting position to lay down on the Autobot sized berth. Ever since the new bots had landed yesterday and figured out I had Allspark energy in me Ratchet had not let me leave the Medbay.
"No Clara, I am just checking over you." Yes. But again Ratchet.
Would anyone rescue me?
At that moment Bumblebee walked into the medbay. "Hi Bee!" I waved and sat up, crossing me legs.
"Hello Baby!" Bumblebee chirped a little. "I have—gotta go back now.—To Sam."
I frowned a little, Bee was Sam's Guardian and he hasn't been there for a couple days because he has been with me. I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to Tranquility with him, so that means I would not see him or Sam for a while. And secretly Bee is my favourite bot.
"I am going to miss you, Bee." I smiled a little.
"His not going to be gone forever Clara." Ratchet groaned annoyingly as he done yet another scan.
"Just because his my bestie and you don't have one!" I stuck out my tongue to Ratchet while he wasn't looking, causing Bumblebee to laugh.
"Okay Bumblebee get out now, you are too much of a distraction, for both me and Clara." Ratchet growled.
Bee patted me on the head gently as a way of saying goodbye and said. "Hasta la vista, Baby!" Bee chirped.
"Terminator!" I smiled happily, cannot believing Bumblebee spoke as Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"Wait wait—I can go one better!" Bee stood by the door and looked all serious and spoke. "I'll be back." And he was gone.
"Ratchet!" I glared up to him. "That was very rude! He could have stayed a little longer."
Ratchet turned his back to me, then he turned back around with this huge ass human sized needle in his servos. I jumped up immediately and stumbled slightly on my feet. "No! No no! Don't even think about it!"
"Its only so I can get a sample of your blood." Ratchet said.
"But I need my blood!" I ran to the other end of the berth far from Ratchet as possible!
"Its is not going to kill you Clara, now stand still please." Ratchet bought the needle close to me and I screamed and ran all the way to the opposite side.
"This is ridiculous, Clara!" Ratchet quickly caught my arm and pulled me across the berth towards him.
"It wont hurt much." Ratchet said before stabbing the needle into my upper arm and suck out my blood! Yes I am saying it was like a vampire drinking from me...okay that's a little bit over the top.
When Ratchet let go I pulled my arm protectively towards my self and glared at him. "Come on Clara, don't act like a sparkling."
I stuck my tongue out again then Jazz's voice spoke in my head. –"Clara, ar' yah alrigh'"-
-"I'm fine"- I answered a little coldly.
-"Where are yah? Meh an' Prowl will come and find yah."- he asked.
-"No don't, its fine. Plus where I am no one can rescue me."- I laughed a little, causing Ratchet to glance over to me.
-"Lemme guess, Ratche'?"- Jazz sent laughter through our bond.
-"Yeah.-"
"You better not be speaking to Jazz." Ratchet spoke.
"No." I quickly lied.
"I already told you not to use your bond unless I know its absolutely safe." Ratchet grumbled.
"Yeah, about that how is it possible..I mean I am definitely not cybertronian!" I said
"The only explanation I have so far is the All Spark energy I found on you yesterday." Ratchet said.
I blanked out as Ratchet started to speak to himself more than to me. When the doors opened and in walked a red bot.
"Hello my good friend, Ratchet!" Sideswipe said.
"Urgh..what do you want?" Was the medics reply.
"I can see you are in a great mood this morning. And I only come to say hi." Sideswipe grinned causing me to giggle slightly.
"You was not funny back on Cybertron and you aren't now so get out!" The CMO glared at him.
"I think his amusing!" I laughed just to annoy Ratchet a little.
"Sideswi-" Ratchet was cut off when the door open and Optimus walked in. "Prime. What is a matter?"
"I have looked at the Cyberchip Clara, I think you should come to my office, so we can speak privately." I saw Optimus look over to a interested looking Sideswipe.
I climbed into the leaders opened hand, glad to get out of the medbay, even if I did leave poor Sideswipe behind.
"So what was on there? Is everything alright?" I asked, sitting down in his hand.
"Wait until we get to my office Clara, Too many ears around here."
I looked around and realised what he meant. There was a few other Autobots at the end of the hallway, and soilders almost everywhere. I didn't really want new recruits of NEST out about how Primus speaks to me.
"Here we are." Optimus spoke as he entered a code (4855 gotta remember that for future reference.) I widened my eyes at the size of the room. When Optimus said he had a office I didn't quite believe him. He had a big ol' desk and huge ass chair and loads of data pads and loads of stuff stuck on the walls. "Wow..this is cool." I smiled.
Optimus smiled at me and placed me onto his desk while he sat down on his chair. I sat down in the middle and crossed me legs. "So I looked at the Cyberchip." He started. "It showed me exactly the whereabouts of your Mother."
I perked up, deciding to stand up on my feet. "Is she OK?" I asked.
"I hope so." Optimus paused, and I saw his teal optics look down slightly then back to me. "She is at a Decepticon base or ship here on Earth."
"What!?" I froze in shock for a moment. "But that does not make any sense! Why do they have her?"
"Most likely to get to you. I don't think they know about your All spark energy though." His blue eyes stared at me for a while.
"Yeah but why? My Mother went missing before I even knew about you guys! I don't get it!" I held my head in frustration. Nothing made sense! Why would the Cons have took my Mother when I haven't even met Bumblebee then!
"I know its confusing to understand Clara, no one knows why the Decepticon's do what they do. Their plans are sneaky and most likely be traps." Optimus Prime spoke.
"So, do you think they could be using her as bait?" I ask worryingly.
"It could be possible that they are." I felt my eyes sting at his words. I didn't want to cry and I held back tears as much as I could. "Don't worry, I am taking a team with me soon to rescue her." Optimus stood up and opened the door. Ironhide Ratchet and Jazz walked in. Optimus must have commed them while we was talking.
"So when are you going exactly?" I asked, taking a few steps towards the edge of the table, so I was facing the four Autobots. "I mean I have only used a gun once when saving Jazz, but I'm sure Lennox wil-"
I was cut off by Ironhide. "You can't come with us Clara, its way to dangerous."
"But it is my Mother your going to save! I should be going with you!" I yelled a little. Looking from Ironhide then to Optimus.
"I am sorry Clara, but its too much of a risk." Prime spoke. "We aren't even letting any N.E.S.T soldiers come. Let alone a civilian like yourself."
"I have to though!" I pleaded. "Plus if anything did happen Primus woul...can let me help you."
"Don't worry Clara! Nothin' will 'appen to us!" Jazz smiled.
"That does remind me, Clara would need her own guardian, now Bumblebee has gone back to Sam." Optimus quickly changed the subject. Guess I will be staying here.
"I don't need a Guardian." I looked up to Optimus. "Especially if I am going to be here at base all the time."
"But Clara, if you have a Guardian, Optimus would of course let you off base for a while. With said Guardian that is." Ratchet said to me.
"Oh!" I realised what he meant. "Yes! A Guardian would be a great idea, Optimus!" I smiled a little.
"Ah think meh or Prowl woul' be a good Guardian." Jazz said.
"You are Optimus' Second in Command Jazz, your defiantly too busy to watch Clara all the time." Ratchet said. "All four of us here is." The medic then looked down to me slightly. " Clara you should pick a Autobot who is currently not in this room."
"Don't have watch me the whole time..." I mumbled. Okay, so I have to pick some bot cool. Because by the sound of it, we would be hanging out a lot. "Okay, so how abo-"
"Prowl it is then!" Jazz cut me off. "He will beh perfec'. He can than send meh stuff th'ough our bond."
I pulled a face as he suggested Prowl. I hadn't even properly met him yet. But he doesn't seem like a Bot I would want to be with a lot. "I don't really know Prowl well enough though."
"But than yeh can get tah know him." Jazz said. Causing me to pull another annoyed face.
"I think Clara can decide for herself, Jazz." Ironhide crossed his arms.
I smirked to myself a little. I knew exactly who to pick with a few reasons. 1. His cool. 2. He actually introduced himself, unlike Prowl. And lastly 3 and mostly important, it would annoy Jazz the most! And right now I wanted to annoy him!
"I think I will pick Sideswipe!" I looked over to Jazz to see him look horrified.
"Yah kiddin'!" Jazz blurted out. "No pick any bot but him!"
"I think I will stick with Sideswipe, his cool." I smiled.
"WOOHOO!"
Everyone turned there heads towards Optimus' closed door. Ironhide then walked over and opened it. Sideswipe stumbled in like he was leaning against the door not moments before.
Optimus crossed his arms. "Sideswipe, was you eavesdropping?"
"No! Well I know it seems like it but I really wasn't! You see I was walking my way along when I overheard my name. So then I had to listen in! Then Clara told Jazz I was cool! Which is very true by the way". He grinned which made me giggle a little.
"Prime, yah can't be serious!" Jazz looked up to him. "How can Sideswipe be a guardian and not Prowl."
"What? You think Prowl is better than me? His a piece of slag compared to me." Sideswipe stated.
"Sideswipe!" Ratchet pulled out a wrench from what seemed like no where and hit Sideswipe round the head. "Don't swear in front of Clara."
"Who shoul' it beh, Prime?" Jazz asked.
"I do think that Prowl would make a good Gaurdian (Sideswipe moaned) but then I also think it would be good for Sideswipe to have this responsibility." Optimus thought for a moment. "Maybe they both should have trials for today when we aren't here. Then we can decide afterwards."
I smiled a little, that was better than just having Prowl.
"Ah jus' told Prowl, Prime." Jazz said.
"And?" I asked "Is he up to it?" I hoped he wasn't.
"He said he will beh glad ta." Jazz said smugly to me. Yeah I bet you lied..
"We should leave now." Optimus said, transforming down into his Peterbilt.
"Wait your going now?" I asked. No on answered but I knew they was because everyone started to transform. Except Jazz who looked to me first. "Jazz!" I blurted out. I know I was mad at him for ignoring me yesterday and for him trying to make my own decisions for me, but I could not not speak to him when he was going out to fight and rescue.
"Yeah Clara?" He walked over to me next to Optimus' desk.
I jumped off the edge of the desk and Jazz caught me. "Clara why did ya-"
I stood in his hands and wrapped my arms around his neck as much as I could. "Be careful, yeah?" I leant back and looked into his bright eyes.
"Corse ah will." He smiled then put his visor up. Walking outside into the hall way the others was waiting. "See yah later Lil Lady." Jazz bent down and I jumped out his hand.
"See you later, alligator!" I smiled as he looked confused and transformed, following the other Autobots into the main hangar and outside.
"So am I being Guardian first?" Sideswipe asked.
I had completely forgot that Sideswipe was there. "Oh yeah. Who is going first then?" I asked.
"Sorry to say but I think Prowl wants to." Sideswipe groaned. "You are gonna be so bored!" he laughed.
"Hey don't laugh! You evil person!" I smiled. "So where is Prowl? His doing a great job at the moment."
"Prime said I got to take you to his quarters." I looked at the red lambo a little confusingly, then realised Optimus must have com linked him.
"Lets get it over with then!" I said, as he transformed.
I climbed into the passenger side on the right. Something I had to get used to when I first moved to Texas, back home in London the passenger seat was on the left. "Wow." I smiled, looking around at the leather interior.
"Oh so you still prefer Camaros then?" Sideswipe spoke through his radio.
"Yeah, I do!" I laughed. "Bumblebee is more awesome than you." I teased.
"Aw why would you say that." I felt Sideswipe sink on his wheels. "Anyway enough messing around. Lets get to Prowler!"
"Prowler?" I giggled a little as Sideswipe sped off.
"Its my nickname for him! He doesn't like it very much though." Sideswipe laughed. "I got one for Ratchet and Ironhide as well!"
"Really? What are they?" I asked.
"I'll tell you later.." Sideswipe sighed.
"Why, what's wrong?" I asked worryingly.
"You have reached your destination." He replied.
"Oh, great." I stepped out of the passenger side and looked up to the huge door in front of me to Prowls quarters.
Sideswipe transformed and knock quite loudly on the door. "Hey Prowl!" He shouted.
A few seconds later a very annoyed Autobot opened the door. He gave Sideswipe an hard glare. "There was no need for shouting, Sideswipe."
I looked up to Prowl, I mean a long way up. I never realised just how tall he actually was! He must be roughly the same height as Ratchet.
"Yeah, anyway so I come back when exactly?" Sideswipe asked him.
"An hour or two." Prowl replied.
My mouth dropped a little. Or two!? What? What am I even gonna be doing in two hours with Prowl.
"Wow poor Clara." I heard Sideswipe say.
"What are you implying?" Prowl asked.
"Nothing." Sideswipe quickly answered. "Goodbye Prowler!" Sideswipe winked at me then transformed, and quickly drove off. Causing me to giggle a bit.
"Come along, Clarissa." Prowl said, walking into hid quarter's.
"Clarissa?" I quickly walked in after him. I stopped just inside the door way. His room was quite large, like Optimus' office. It was mostly all the same grey colour as the walls outside. He has a berth to the left side, a chair and desk on the other, and datapads like Ratchets all stocked neatly on a shelf like I would with books. He also had a few other Cybertronian things around, but everything was so neat.
I jumped as there was a bang from behind me. I started to laugh when I realised it was just the door closing and I had been daydreaming.
"What is amusing you?" Prowl asked, sitting down on his desk chair, with one arm casually leaning on his tidy desk.
"You urm, shut the door." I half smiled.
"I don't think I will ever understand earth humour." Prowl said.
"Yeah. So why did you say Clarissa? My name is Clara, didn't Optimus give the right name or something?" I asked.
"Yes he did, you are Clara Harper, 17years of ages, you have one sibling and a mother."
"Bit creepy but OK."
"I don't use nicknames." Prowl said simply.
"But Clara isn't my nickname. Its just Clara, it isn't short for anything."
"I have just searched your Google internet and the most common long version of Clara is Clarissa." Prowl tilted his head at me. "What does it say on you certificate of birth?"
"Like I just said, just Clara. Well Clara Elizabeth Harper." I laughed a bit. "So what are we going to do?"
"I have some very important Autobot work I should be attending to. Sorry if you may get a little bored." Prowl turned in his chair so he was leaning against his desk, picking up the first datapad and typed away on it.
I sighed slightly. Great I thought. This is gone be a long hour or two!
~Optimus, Ironhide, Ratchet and Jazz- Outside the Decepticon base/crashed ship~ *3rd person POV*
"We have to be sneaky. No canons blazing Ironhide." Ratchet glanced to the black Autobot, who stood in cover.
It was only about a hours drive from Nevada to find the Con's base. It looked like one of the ships. Optimus recognised it as The Galactus. It was a fair size, not built for speed but for armour , weapons and war. It looked like it had crashed a few years ago. Optimus assumed that the Decepticons tracked it and made a base out of it seems it was un flyable. The cons that was flying the ship a few years back must have been out into a hyper sleep. God knows if the other con's woke then up or not.
Optimus leaded the 3 other Bots to the back of the ship. It was quiet. Eerily quiet. They easily broke into the back door, Jazz quickly dived in last as a Con looking jet flew over.
"I suggest we split into two. Ironhide, with me." Optimus and Ironhide took the left turning if the dark corridor, while Jazz and Ratchet took the right.
"So what has been up with you and Clara lately?" Ratchet asked Jazz as they turned a corner.
Jazz tilted his helm as he looked up to the medic. "Whattya mean?"
"It just seemed that you both haven't bonded as much since yesterday." Ratchet said.
"Oh ah didn't really notice. Ah know she didn't wan' Prowl as her Guardian, bu' that's unfair, she don't even know him!" Jazz frowned a little, following down some stairs into a darker corridor.
"You was pushing on her a little though, Jazz." Ratchet stuck his head round the corner to check there was no one there, before walking down it.
"Ah was?" Jazz asked.
"I am not being nosy. But it did seen that she was picking Sideswipe just to annoy you."
Jazz stopped in his tracks and looked up to the medic. "Really? You think she woul' do that'?"
"I am not sure. Did you do anything to irritate her? It could have been any small thing. I have noticed small things can anger a female human. Especially teenagers."
Jazz's optics dimmed a little. He was going through he memories from the past day and today but he couldn't find anything. "You mus' be wrong, Ratch. I can't think ov anythin'."
Ratchet sighed and carried on walking. Coming to yet another set of stairs, he walked down them and realised this could be where Mrs. Harper could be. There was Decepticon sized brigs opposite each other, but inside them was empty. It was obvious the Con's wasn't put in these cells, but more like humans.
There was a few shoes and jackets placed around one of the cells Ratchet was looking in, but there was no sign of human life.
"Hey Ratchet. You bet she is in here?" Jazz said.
Ratchet looked up. Jazz was stood at the end of the cells. There was four cell all together, 2 on each side of the corridor and at the end of the corridor was a locked door, with a blurred looking window near the top.
Ratchet walked over and tried to peer inside, but even with his excellent optic sight he couldn't see through.
"Don't you thin' its a little odd tha' we haven't got caugh' yet?" Jazz asked looking behind him. "Usually we are fighin' some come aroun' now."
"I wouldn't be worried about it Jazz. I am sure Optimus and Ironhide may be busy with cons. They did go to the higher decks. I might scan for human life form, hang on."
Just as Ratchet was going to scan for humans, for Mrs. Harper on the other side of the door, there heard a small voice.
"Hello?"
Ratchet stopped and looked into the cell on his right. Jazz knelt down, spotting a small figure at the back of the cell.
"Please...d-dont hurt me..an-anymore!"
Jazz spoke as gently as he could. "Were not here to hurt, Mrs. Harper."
"I ALREADY TOLD, I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE AUTOBOTS"
"Mrs. Harper its okay, we know your daughter!" Ratchet broke down the door of the cells and allowed Jazz to walk in.
Jazz found Mrs. Harper at the back, curled up, looking frightened of Jazz and dirty, like she hasn't changed her clothes in weeks.
"You don't! You don't know Clara, your lying to me again!" Mrs. Harper stood up and backed up against the cell walk as much as she could.
"Please Mrs. Harper. We are the Autobots. Not the Decepticons." Jazz spoke gently and without his accent.
"You ...you are ." Mrs. Harper noticed the eyes was a different colour. Blue not red. And his emblem, it was different to the others.
"Yes, were here to help you." Jazz transformed into his sliver alt mode and opened his passenger side door for her.
With shaky steps, she walked over to Jazz and balanced her weight by leaning against him then she fell into his interior and took a big intake of breath.
"I have informed Optimus, his dealt with a few Decepticons and said he will wait with Ironhide outside." Ratchet then also transformed and sped off up the stairs, Jazz swiftly following behind.
From the door, with the misted up window a tiny, wore out voice called for the Autobots that just left. But it wasn't heard.
There ya go! Chapter 12 is finally done! I am so happy, what do you guys think? Was it worth the wait? I do hope so!
Favourite Line: "You was not funny back on Cybertron and you aren't now so get out!" The CMO glared at him.
Until next time!
