Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while! It's just that crazy time of year. I have finals to deal with, I just moved so I've been unpacking, plus my dad has a heart blockage so I'm spending all my time worrying about him. It's hard right now. But summer's almost here, I'll have more free time when I'm not working, and hopefully the doctors will fix my dad! Anyhoo, enjoy the story cause we're reaching the end!
Also, people, I know your busy and everything, but please try to review if you can! Reviews have really slowed down. Thanks! You guys have kept this story going! Also, I'm hitting chapter 40! Even if it's not story wise, it still is to Fanfiction! Yay to my longest story ever! I love writing! Don't you! We'll, I guess it's more like your reading, but I'm sure some of you do write. And I'm rambling again. Enjoy the story ladies and gentlemen!
Disclaimer: I have never in my life have had the most amazing opportunity to own something as great and beautiful as Transformers. Sigh, with a heavy heart, I disclaim this. YOU HEAR ME ALIEN THINGS THAT AREN'T CYBERTRONIAN! I DON'T OWN THIS, SO STOP ACCUSING ME OF OWNING IT!
Chapter 38:
"Do you have everything?"Optimus asked as I finished loading the things everyone told me was mine.
I didn't really recognize half of it, but that was understandable since I didn't have any of my memory. So I just nodded my confirmation.
He nodded back, his expression indifferent. But somehow I knew that was actually how he felt. I knew he felt pained at the thought of me leaving this base. But I had to go. I couldn't stay there, surrounding by aliens I didn't recognize. I'd rather be with humans.
"Then you are all set. Are you ready?"He asked gently.
I nodded again, unable to meet his eyes...er optics. I heard him vent before he stepped back. I also heard him tell the driver that I was ready and he nodded in understanding.
"Goodbye, Jenny.. I hope your memories comes back."Optimus said softly.
For some reason I felt compelled to look up at him. So I did. I looked into his beautiful blue optics and saw the pain he felt. Not just the pain for me, but for the pain that only someone who had gone through several millenniums of wars.
"Goodbye Optimus."I said as I looked away and boarded the bus, not bothering to look back because I knew if I did, I would run out there and beg to stay.
The doors behind me shut and I settled into a seat. I rested my elbows on the arm rest and put my head in my palms. I didn't understand the immense sadness I felt at leaving that place, and leaving him. I had no clue who he even was! I felt like I've had known him for years though.
It wasn't long after that the bus pulled away from the base and out onto the highway. I sighed in my seat before closing my eyes and going to sleep.
"Miss, we've arrived."
I jumped, startled when someone shook my shoulder lightly. Looking up, I saw the bus driver beside me, smiling sweetly.
"Oh, uh, thanks."I said before standing up and stretching.
"No problem, deary. Enjoy your stay."She said, before she turned around and left again.
I stood up and stretched before grabbing my things and heading off the bus. I had landed at a private military bus station where Sam Witwicky and his girlfriend, Mikaela, were supposed to pick me up. The only probably was I had no clue what they look. And the station was full of military personal.
I walked around confused and wondering where my escorts were. No one looked familiar. Of course I wouldn't anyways. Amnesia, remember?
"Jenny! Jenny over here!"Some yelled from behind me.
I looked behind me too see a beautiful black haired girl running towards me and waving her hands back and forth. A feeling of Deja vu hit me, but it does that a lot. My guess was this girl was Mikaela.
When she caught up with me, she smiled and gave me a tight hug. I hesitantly hugged her back, not sure yet on what to make about this girl. She seemed friendly enough though.
"Hey, sorry I'm a little late. Traffic was horrible! You know how it can be in big cities like D.C."Mikaela giggled, before grabbing my hand and dragging me towards the luggage. "Sam couldn't make it, he got a new job and had to work today. But you'll see him tonight! We're both excited to have you here though!"
I smiled slightly at how talkative she was. But I see now how we could be friends. She was really nice.
"Is this your luggage?"She asked me when she found one with my name on it.
"Yeah."I spoke for the first time since exiting the bus.
She nodded and picked it up and slugging it over her shoulder. I told her that I could carry it myself, but she just waved me off.
"You're the guest here! It's only fair I help you out! Now come on, with any luck, the traffic as gone down some."
I followed the excited woman out of the station and towards her car. She had a really nice car too! A Mercedes AMG, a silver Mercedes AMG at that!
"Wow, nice car!"I exclaimed as she put my things into the trunk.
"Thanks, my boss gave me him. He's pretty awesome and expensive."Mikaela giggled.
I walked around the car and admired it. It was really beautiful, but something about it seemed off. I don't know what, but it didn't seem...normal? I dunno, my brain acts weird because of my amnesia.
"Him? I thought most cars were a her, not a him."I said absentmindedly.
She shut the trunk door and joined me in front of the car before shrugging.
"I dunno, I've just always called it a he. Almost like it's supposed to be a guy. It's weird, but that's just what it feels like."She replied.
I just nodded in a agreement before heading over to the passengers side and opened the door. I was a little surprised when the door opened up instead of sideways. I smiled before getting in and buckling up. My door automatically shut behind me.
"Sweet! This is a sick car."I told Mikaela when she joined me in the car.
"Right! I love it!"
The rest of the ride was in silence except for the occasional question I had for Mikaela or vice versa. It was pretty nice though.
When we pulled up at their apartment, Mikaela parked in the garage and we went inside. Their apartment was really nice too. They also had two small robots and a dog named Bones. I later learned that the two robots were Wheelie and Brains.
"If you just follow me upstairs, I'll show you your new room."Mikaela said, gesturing for me to follow her.
I did and she led me right to my room. It was a nice sized room too. There was a queen size bed in the far left corner of the room. On the opposite wall was a flat screen TV and a small dresser where the remote was. The was also a closet door and another door, probably a bathroom, on the wall next to the bed. The floors were oak wood and the walls were a pretty brown.
"It's a nice room."I complimented.
Mikaela thanked me before leaving me to the room to unpack and get settled. I walked over and sat on the green covers of my bed. It was pretty and went perfect with the room. I liked the room and I had a feeling I would like living here.
~ One month later ~
I had finally gotten settled into my new temporary home. Still without my memory, I did everything in my power to not be a freeloader. I got a job and helped pay the bills and grocery. Which Mikaela and Sam were both grateful for.
Today was my day off though and I was spending it lying on my bed and playing on the laptop Nest gave me. I was bored and was looking through Fanfiction. It was fun in my opinion, I loved ready Ninja Turtles! I guess that's my guilty pleasure!
I was laying flat on my stomach and kicking my legs in the air. That's when I heard some yelling coming from downstairs. I looked up and frowned, Mikaela and Sam never fought. I wonder what was going on down there.
I left my computer open and put on my flip flops before heading downstairs. The two in question were both in the kitchen, Sam looking hassled and Mikaela worried. I gasped softly when I saw Sams appearance. His shirt was disheveled, his hair a mess. His face and arms were full of scratches that were lightly bleeding and he had a slight limp.
"Sam, what happened?"I asked in shock.
They both jumped and looked up surprised that I overheard them.
"Oh, uh, hi Jenny. I was just attacked in my workplace, by a mini demon con."He growled, thankfully it wasn't directed at me.
"Oh my, are you alright?"I asked him.
He nodded and then explained about how him and Mikaela were about to go to the Nest base here in D.C. to inform them. Sam looked a little pissed when he mentioned the base.
"I'm coming with you."I said determined.
They both exchanged a look before nodding.
"Alright, you know though that the bots are all there. I know you came here to get away from them."Mikaela said.
I nodded.
"Yeah, I was there at one point. But I think it's time I faced my blinded past. And I wanna be there for you guys. You're like my family now."I explained, smiling at my friends.
They both nodded once more, before we left. Sam wanted to take the knock out version of Bee and Mikaela and I decided not to disagree. We both knew how much he hated the Mercedes.
Sam drove all the way to the Nest base and retold the story about the Con to me. Sounded more like something from out of a horror movie. I told him this too and he and Mikaela both nodded in agreement.
When we pulled up to the base, Sam pulled up to the gate where two security guards in a Nest uniform stood guard. The guard immediately stopped us.
"Easy, sir," the first guard warned. "this is Health and Human services."
I scoffed along with Sam
"Right, packing M4s? What are you protecting? Colostomy bag? Bed pans? Throat lozenges? Where'd you get that hat from? Nursing school? So you're nurses and foot powder protectors, fantastic!"
"Sam!" he looked at Mikaela. "Just calm down."
"I'm calm. I'll be extremely calm when I talk to Optimus!" he looked back at the guards.
"Sir, you've got the wrong building. I don't know what you're talking about." the guard said.
I put a hand to my head.
"What part of Decepticons are back don't you understand?" Sam asked.
The guard on my side hit the roof. I glared at the rude man. Really, he had to hit the car, who did this guy think he was?
"Yo!" we both looked over at him. "You being a smart ass?"
"Nice going, Sherlock." Mikaela said sarcastically as Sam started going off. I groaned, knowing what was going to happen.
"DO NOT HIT MY CAR! IT'S A COLLECTOR ITEM!" he shouted.
He started the car and drove forward. He stopped when a thing rose up and blocked us off, and other things started rising the back of the car. I shouted in surprise, putting my feet on the dashboard.
Sam started shouting as the guards came at us with guns and opened our car doors. I got out of the car and stood between the guards and the transformers.
"Don't hurt them!" I grabbed Wheels and Brains.
I glared at the guys and heard banging. Sam had grabbed a guard and was now wrestling him on the hood. They rolled off and landed on the concrete. After some wrestling Sam managed to get the radio and shouted "BEE? IS BEE IN THERE?" they put Sam on his stomach and put his hands behind his back.
"Do not point that thing at us." I growled, glaring at the guns they had. Wheels and Brains started taunting them. "Shut up guys!"
"How's your car now?" the guard taunted. Bee suddenly transformed in and scared the guards away from us.
"That's my car." Sam said to the guard. He started walking away. "Come here." when Bee didn't obey he snapped "Come here!"
"Come on! Sam?" Bee asked, trailing after him. I followed them from a distance.
"Sam, calm down. Hey Bee" I asked, nodding at the Bot.
He whirred in surprise and happiness. Probably glad I recognized him. But I see him a lot and I don't have short term memory loss, just amnesia.
"Sam, that makes me feel bad." I heard Bee put together as we joined them.
"Well I hope you feel bad, you should feel bad. Look at the jalopy I'm driving now, I feel bad every single day!" Sam started walking back to us.
"Yo, let's go, both of you. Lennox wants to see ya." the guard said from a doorway.
Sam grabbed Mikaelas hand as we walked towards it.
"What, we're not good enough for you anymore?" Wheels asked Sam as we passed.
He let me through the door first and looked at the guard. "You're fixing my car." the guard nodded sarcastically making Sam stop. "You don't think so?"
"Come on tough guy." I grabbed his hand and started dragging him away.
After Sam got a bit sassy during the metal detector security, we met up with Lennox and went into the building. Lennox was really surprised to see us too.
"This Wang guy recognized me. He told me to warn you, he was talking about the dark side of the moon, and then they killed him." Sam informed Lennox.
"Wait a minute, he mentioned the moon?" Lennox asked.
"Yeah, the dark side of the moon."
"What I don't understand is why they're killing humans now. I mean they always have but that was to get at the Autobots." I said with my arms crossed.
We got to a room where we could discuss the papers Sam found when a lady said "Excuse me!"
I immediately recognized the woman standing there. I crossed my arms in annoyance at seeing her again. I really didn't like her.
"Director Mearing." Lennox said, sounding surprised. "This is Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Ba-"
"I know their names, Colonel, I want to know who gave them clearance." she interrupted.
"Who gave me clearance?" Sam repeated, making her look at him. "How about Optimus Prime when he touched down in a suburbia in front of my house."
"This is the National Intelligence Director..." Lennox trailed off, obviously meaning it as a warning.
Sam looked at her in a new light. "Hi."
"Disrespecting the federal officer. Hm, yeah, that'll get you somewhere." Mearing turned to me. "You again. How nice to see you back."She said sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes.
"Can't say the same thing, sorry."I said sarcastically.
"Looks like someone got her bite back."Mearing said, also sarcastically.
"Hey, I have an idea," we looked at Sam again. "how about we get back to the important topics like the fact I almost got my face cut off by a Decepticon! As a tax payer with a logical complaint as a matter of fact!"
Mikaela and I gripped his shoulder in a warning.
"O-Okay, listen, alright, one of the software engineer in Sam's office was murdered today. He was involved in NASA's lunar mapping program." Lennox held the papers out and she took them.
"Here's the thing, Colonel Lennox," she handed the papers to a person behind her. "We cannot intrust national security to teenagers." Sam and Mikaela looked at each other in annoyance. "Or an exautobot girls turned to human with amnesia. Unless I missed a policy paper," she looked at the lady behind her, who shook her head. "Are we doing that now? No." she looked at Lennox. "Good." she looked at Sam. "I don't care who you are. If you breath a word of what you see in here you will do time for treason. Do you understand me?"
"I'll take my orders from the Autobots. I know them, I don't know you." Sam replied.
"I do too. I don't give a damn who you are either. I'm an autobot even if I don't remember anything and you have no jurisdiction over me."I growled.
She stared at him for a moment. "You will."And turned to me. "I'll just have to get it then, won't I?"
I thanked Primus- don't know why- that Mearing allowed us to stay and watch Optimus bring Sentinel Prime back to life.
I watched him being put on his feet in front of Optimus. "Let us begin." he brought the Matrix out of his chest. He juggled it between his hands, walking closer.
"Sentinel Prime, we bid you return." he put the matrix in his chest, making his chest glow and he started jerking around. He suddenly knocked Optimus to the ground and held a huge sword to his neck. I jumped away from the railing.
"Hold your fire!" I heard Lennox shout.
"Sentinel, stop! It is I, Optimus Prime." Optimus said as Sam, Mikaela and I got to higher ground. "It is all right. You are safe." the rest of the Autobots came to the room.
"There's nothing to fear." Ironhide assured.
Sentinel stood up and looked at them as Optimus spoke. "We are here. You are home, Sentinel." A long tense moment passed.
"The war. The war!"Sentinel cried.
"The war was lost." Optimus grabbed the Matrix, standing up. "Cybertron is now nothing but a barren wasteland. We have taken refuge here on planet Earth. It's human race is our ally."
Sentinel looked at him, completely bewildered. "My ship. We came under fire. The pillars," he stepped forward. "Where are the pillars?"
"You saved five of them, including the control pillar."
"Only five?" he exclaimed. "We once had hundreds!"
"Excuse me, gentlemen," Mearing interrupted. "May I ask, what is this technology you're looking for?"
"It is the ability to reshape the universe. Together the pillars form a space bridge. I designed and I alone can control it. It defies your laws of physics to transport matter through time and space." he informed.
"You're talking about a teleportation device, aren't you?"
"Yes, for resources, for refugees." Optimus replied.
"For refugees or troops of soldiers, weapons, maybe bombs! A means of a instant strike! That's it's military function, isn't it?" Mearing asked, looking at Sentinel.
"It is our technology and it must be returned!" Sentinel said.
"Yes, if humans say so." Mearing said, sounding stern and furious. "You can't just bring weapons of mass destruction into our atmosphere! Kind of have to clear customs first! A little formality called paperwork, kind of separates us from the animals."
Sentinel looked at her. "I will overlook your condescending tone if you heave the gravity of mine. The Decepticons must never know the space bridge is here. For in their hands," he got closer to her. "It would mean the end of your world."
"Total nightmare file." Mearing said, holding up a sticky note to her assistant in the other room while we sat down in her office. "So the investigation's open. We sent agents to your office and for the time being we're going to send you home with Autobot protection."
"W-who do I need to speak to, to get you guys to understand I can help?" Sam asked. "That I can contribute?"
"Hey, we can all help!" Brains said, jumping on some files on her desk. "I can tell you what I know! I can tell you about the solar system, all the fun planets that hang out there." Mearing put a gun on the desk.
"Get off my desk please." she said.
"Oh, you pulling out guns?" he jumped off, onto a file cabinet. "Can't help..." he jumped onto the floor.
"Oh my god." Mearing murmured to herself.
"What do you envision for me? I go home now? I go back to work? I make copies? I mean..." Sam shook his head a bit while she sat down.
"This is a unit for Veteran Intelligence Officers and Special Forces. Not for boys who once owned special cars." she gave him a amused look.
"Isn't that a bit harsh, ma'am?" I asked, giving her a cold look.
"Don't call me ma'am, I'm not a ma'am." she responded, barely glancing at me.
I raised my eyebrow. "Well you're a woman, aren't you? Or do you have a little secret going on down there?" she pulled back a bit at my words.
"So," Sam cleared his throat and pointed at something on the wall. Medals. "are those yours?"
"Yea, CIA."
"I only ask because I also have a medal. President."
She nodded with a slight smile. "Yeah, great. So it's not that complicated, right?" that wiped the smile off of everyone's face. "No one gets to work with the Autobots unless I approve it. You're breaking my chain of command."
"I could easily come back here if I wanted ma'am."I said, spitting the word ma'am out. "And Sam is my friend. He could do a lot more here than you ever could." I looked at her for a moment before touching Sam's arm. "Come on." We all stood up.
"With all due respect, young man." we looked back at her. "I appreciate what you did, but you're not a soldier. You're a messenger. You've always been a messenger."Then she turned to me. "And you're just a wannabe exbot who will never make it back into Nest."
Okay, that was it! But before I could reply, Mikaela snapped.
"Okay, listen here," She snapped, making Mearing look at her . "This guy right here," She pointed at Sam. "saved your ass twice. If it wasn't for him you wouldn't be here. No one would be here. So in my book that makes him a hero. And her"She pointed towards me. "Has done so much here that the government should let her back in with open arms."
I glared at her before leading Sam and Mikaela away.
(And there goes another chapter. Yay! Don't worry, guys, Jenny will eventually get her memory back and will turn back into a bot. She's like this for a reason! Mostly for drama though! Remember guys, I need reviews! They keep this story going! Thanks again guys, you're all seriously awesome! Now I'm rambling! Fun! Don't you enjoy it! Lol! Please don't forget to R&R! Thanks!)
