Disclaimer:According to the first 15 pages, I don't own this. So, Imma guessin I don't own Transformers!
Chapter 16:
"So they still haven't come out of their bedroom?"I asked Lennox as I followed him to Autumn and Jessica's room in my human form.
"No. We're really worried about them and we're only keeping them here because of the information you've given us. It might be good if you talk to them."
I nodded. It's been about a week since I rescued Sideswipe and Sunstreaker and brought Jazz to life once more. It's also been a week since the two new girls came to stay on the base and they haven't left their room for anything.
"Has anyone tried talking to them?"
I was always busy, so I haven't had a chance to talk to these girls more. Lennox came to me today because he was worried about the girls well being.
"Yes. I've tried, a few of the bots have tried, even some government officials tried, nothing is working. I thought that maybe they'll open up to you."
I nodded again.
"I'll see what I can do."
When we arrived in front of the door to their room, Lennox knocked twice.
"Go away!"Came the muffled reply.
Lennox sighed.
"See, they do this every time."
"Alright, let me try."I said determined. "Jessica, Autumn, please open up. It's Jenny. I really would like to talk to you. It's important. I need to tell you why we are keeping you here."
"You've told us enough. We're not leaving this room unless you let us go!"
"Please. I know this is difficult to understand, trust me I know, but if you let me talk to you, I can explain everything."
Silence met us for a minute. Finally I heard shuffling inside the room. Then the door clicked and open to reveal Autumn and Jessica. Both of them looked sick. It doesn't look like they've eaten at all since coming here. They were still wearing them same clothes from the day of the rescue . Their eyes were bloodshot as they glared at us.
"Come in and explain then. You better have a damn good reason for keeping us here."Jessica said as she ushered us in a slammed the door shut.
Lennox and I stood as they sat down on the couch.
"First off, I wanna explain everything about who I am and why I'm here. It's a pretty long story."I started.
"We have time."Autumn said, resigned.
I looked at them sympathetically before launching into my story. It really was a long story that took about an hour. When I was finished, both girls were awed.
"So, your like their God reborn?"Autumn asked.
I chuckled.
"Something like that. I'm probably nothing like Primus though. And I say that cause I've met him."I answered.
"Whoa!"Both girls said in unison.
I giggled.
"Yeah, it's pretty great. I've have to introduce you to my sparkling later. She's kinda like my adopted daughter in human terms. Her name is Sunfire."
"Cool. I still can't believe aliens exist. Though, you still haven't told us why we're still here."Jessica pointed out.
I sighed.
"Well, really, you have a choice to make. You can leave or stay. But before you do, I have to tell you why we didn't have you leave earlier. You see, when I met Primus, he told me to bring you back to the base. He said that you guys could become our most trusted and valuable ally ever. But you had a choice to make and with that you, you have to know there is a sacrifice. I don't know what that is, but I do know we need you. We're in a war, a war that won't stop until I finish it."I drifted off a bit, before snapping back into reality and looking over at the girls. "I can't force you to do anything. But please, consider joining us. Not only do we need your help, but so does man kind. I am the key to winning this war, but I'm nothing without an army. We need you."
The girls were both shocked and intrigued by my confession.
"I don't want you to answer right away. No, think about this and decide. Tell me when your ready. For now I ask you to stay on the base. Get to know the others and the bots. Make yourself at home."I said straightening up. "Now, I have business to attend to. If you girls need anything, just find me or one of the bots and we can help you. Most military men and women can help you too."
The girls both nodded, still kinda dazed by my confession. Lennox followed me out.
"Think they'll join the team?"Lennox asked me.
I sighed and shrugged.
"Who knows, I hope so. We could really use them on the team."I answered.
He nodded.
"Where you heading too?"
"The med bay. I wanna check on how Jazz, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker are doing. Ratch told me their coming along fine, but I still like to check up on them."I answered.
He nodded again.
"I gotta find boss bot and discuss some things with him. I'll see ya around."
"Kay Kay. See ya later, Lennox."
He waved bye before walking the other way than me. I continued my way to the Med Bay. When I arrived, Mandy was in there with Mickaela having their usual 'class time' with Ratchet.
"Hey guys."I said, smiling.
"Hey sis, where ya been?"Mandy asked, turning to face me.
I shrugged.
"Lennox and I went to talk to Autumn and Jessica. They let us in, so that was definitely a step up. Then we talked for a little while and I explained everything."I answered.
"Well, at least they let you in."Mickaela said.
I nodded then looked over at Ratch.
"So, how's the twins and Jazz?"I asked.
"They're doing better. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe should be discharged in a couple days. Their bond helps them heal quicker. Jazz has mostly healed up and should be discharged a day or two after the twins."Ratch explained.
"Cool, that's great. I'm gonna go talk to them for a little while. Have fun with your lesson."I said, grinning at my friends.
Mandy stuck her tongue out at me.
"Love you too."I said, smirking.
"Shut up bitch."Mandy said joking.
I shook my head and grinned as I walked into the other room where the twins and Jazz were resting. They were all talking quietly amongst themselves.
"Hey guys."I said.
"Hey Jenny! What's up?"Sideswipe asked.
I shrugged.
"Nothing much. How have you guys been? Feeling better?"
"Much. Can't wait to get out of here and away from the Hatchet."
I laughed.
"Ratch said you should be free to go in a couple of days. I think he was relieved about it too. Have you guys been getting on his nerves?"I asked with mock seriousness.
Sideswipe laughed.
"Don't we always? How's boss bot and Sunny?"
"I'm right here! And don't call me that!"Sunstreaker exclaimed, hitting his brother upside the head.
"Ow! Dude! I meant little Sunny, you know, Jenny's sparkling Sunfire."Sideswipe whined while rubbing his head.
I shook myhead.
"Boys! Sunfire is good. She's hangin' with Optimus right now. How have you been Jazz. How's it feel to be brought back from the dead?"
"Da same, really. I feel betta then I did when I first got here though."He admitted.
"I bet. I'm glad your all doing fine. We'll need all the bots we can."I said. "Primus knows we'll need everyone we can to win this fragging war."
I shook my head.
"Don' worry, lil lady. Everythin's gonna be ok."Jazz said, smiling assuringly.
I smiled at him/
"Thanks Jazz. I know it will, I just worry a lot. You'd expect it though."I chuckled. "Nothing like going form being a neglected teenagers to the key of winning an alien civil war, while becoming said alien, and having super healing powers and others unknown. It's a lot to take it, and even after being here for almost a year, it's still as overwhelming as the first day."
"I bet. I can't imagine changing species like you did and then finding out your the key to winning a war that's been going on long before your planet even existed."Sideswipe said, sympathetically.
"Yeah. I'll be fine though. I have the bots, Sunfire, and Optimus."I smiled at the mention of my mates name.
"Have ya two spark mated yet?"Jazz asked.
I shook my head.
"No, we're waiting until we're absolutely sure it's what we want. Though I know its what I want. I love Optimus with all my spark. He's definitely made my life a hundred times better. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him."
Just then Ratchet appeared in the door.
"Hey Jenny, Optimus wants us to come to the main hanger. A couple autobots are entering Earth's atmosphere and he wants us to go to meet them."He said.
I nodded.
"Alrighty. I'll see you guys later."I said, waving bye at my friends.
"Bye Jenny!"I heard them say as I exited the room.
When we got to the main hanger, we saw Optimus, Ironhide, Lennox, Epps, and a few other soldiers there.
"Ready to roll out?"He asked.
Everyone nodded. Everyone transformed and I walked over to Optimus alt. form. The passenger door swung open for me and I hopped in.
He closed the door for me and buckled me up. A second later his holoform appeared beside me as we started out.
"How has your day been, my angel?"He asked softly.
I smiled.
"Not bad. Lennox and I finally got through to the girls. We told them everything. I told them they could have a few days before they decided whether or not they wanted to stay."I shrugged. "I guess it's all up to them."
He nodded.
"Yes it is. But I think if this is what Primus wanted, then there is a good chance that they'll stay."Optimus said thoughtfully.
"I hope so. So, do you know who these newcomers are? How many are there?"
"I am not sure who they are, but I know there is three and that their energy signal is one of an autobot."He explained.
"Cool!"
We arrived at the spot where they are supposed to land and transformed to wait for them. It didn't take long before I saw the three meteors falling from the sky. They crash landed and started transforming.
"Stateyourdesignation."Optimus said in Cybertronian.
"MydesignationisJolt,andthesetwoareSkidandMudflap."The first one said.
Ratchet smiled.
"Jolt,itisnicetoseeyouagain."He said.
Jolt nodded his head.
"You too Ratchet."
Once introductions were made, the three scanned the internet for an alt. form. Jolt picked a Chevrolet Volt. Skid and Mudflap picked a Chevrolet Beat and Trax concept cars. Once that was done, we made our way back to the base.
I learned that Jolt studied under Ratchet and had for millions of years. I also learned that Skid and Mudflap were younglings who like to prank and cause trouble. They also couldn't go five minutes without fighting over something.
By the time we got back to the lair, everyone wanted to kill those two from all the bantering.
"Do they ever shut up?"I asked Optimus at one point.
He chuckled.
"From what I've head about those two, no. Apparently they're worse than Sideswipe and Sunstreaker."Optimus answered.
I shook my head.
When we got back to the base, I followed Ratchet, Jolt, the twins, and Optimus back to the Med Bay. Ratchet quickly checked them over and confirmed that they had no serious injuries. They were a little malnourished, but Ratch gave them some energon and they were back to normal in no time.
After that, Optimus asked them a few questions before showing them to their new rooms so they could recharge.
I decided to go outside and watched the clouds for a little while. After my dad left, I used to always do this for a little bit of piece. After a while I was joined by Mandy and Mickaela.
"You know what I was thinking we should do?"I asked.
"What?"Mandy asked.
"I was thinking we should go on a little shopping trip with Autumn and Jessica. Get them some new clothes and whatnot. We'll probably have to take a bot or two, but it'll be nice to get out."I suggested.
"Sounds good to me! I'm always up for shopping! When?"Mickaela asked.
"Hmm, I'll have to talk to Optimus about it. Hopefully tomorrow."I answered.
"Cool."
After that, we were silent. We all just looked up at the clouds and enjoyed the peace for a little while. Ever since coming here, peace wasn't something we had a lot. It was great getting it every once in a while.
(End. For now. Hope you liked it! Dunno when I'll have the next chapter up, asap I guess. R&R though! Those always make me happy!)
