Oooo! Also, there will be a brief POV change! Yay!
Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers...I want to though! Why! Why can't I own Transformers!
Chapter 40:
Optimus, Ironhide and I walked back into the base, where everything was in an uproar. People were running around, gathering anything they could salvage and preparing for the upcoming battle.
Sam and Mikaela told me that they needed to leave. Their boss was expecting them and they didn't want any unnecessary questions. I told them to at least take Bee with them, but they said it would be better to go in Mikaela's car.
I didn't like it, but we permitted them to go. I watched them leave, but deep down I knew something wasn't right.
Something was off with Optimus too, I could sense it through the bond. Of course, anyone could sense it without a bond too, but it just seemed stronger with it. When Optimus transformed and left, I frowned.
"Optimus, what's wrong?"I sent through the bond.
"I must go check something out."He responded.
"Well, I'm coming with you."
"You don't ha-
"Yeah I do, so be quiet and drive."I cut him off as I too transformed.
I followed Optimus into the city once more. We were both silent as we drove, both lost in our thoughts. I knew that Optimus was still upset, no matter what I had told him. He was just betrayed by his teacher/mentor. That was bound to leave a mark.
A few minutes, I was surprised as we pulled into the White house. Optimus transformed and I followed, He then ran to the front. I immediately saw what he was after. Sentinel was there, along with Megatron, Starscream and- unfortunately- Elita.
Optimus ran straight for Sentinel though as he went to activate the pillars.
'Wait! Stop! No, no Sentinel!"He shouted, reaching out as if to stop his former mentor himself.
"Forgive me."Sentinel said, before he activated them.
I watched in horror as they lit up and a dozen columns of light shot up into the sky, creating an electrical current in between them. Then I watched with even more horror has dozens upon dozens of Cons flew out of the current.
"Holy shit!"I muttered to my self, shocked and even a little awed. You'd think I'd be used to crazy stuff like this by now, but it never fails to shock me.
I looked behind me in time to see Ironhide pull up with Lennox and a bunch of other bots and soldiers. The Decepticons who came from the portal started attacking everyone.
I turned back to my mate just as he grabbed my hand and pulled me away. I nearly tripped a few times as we ran. We were also being shot at , so that made things a little harder.
"Autobots, retreat!"Optimus shouted as we plowed through.
Optimus then let go of me as he ran forward and tackled Sentinel, successfully taking him down. I wanted to watch the fight, but I was blocked when a familiar pink femme got in my way. Elita smirked at me.
"Hello, Penny, nice to meet you again."She sneered.
"Wow, never pegged you as the type to pretend to forget thy enemies name! And yes, I said thy instead of the! My name is Jenny, dumb aft."I smirked, before getting into a fighting stance. "Now, if you wish to take on Primus's incarnate, by all means, give it your best shot."
She rolled her eyes.
"Conceited much?"
I snorted.
"Right, I'm the conceited one."I said, before I tackled her, much the same as Optimus did, except Elita's back wasn't to me.
We wrestled on the ground, each trying to get the upper hand while avoiding each others guns and cannons.
"Why Sentinel why?"I heard Optimus say from behind me as I battled the she-demon.
"For Cybertron. For our home. What war destroyed we can rebuild. But only if we join with the Decepticons."Sentinel said back stubbornly.
I kicked Elita off of me before jumping back at her, forming my sword as I did so. I thanked Primus for all those training sessions I did with the twins to practice with swords. Elita did the same as she blocked my attack.
"No, it's not the only way. This is our home, we must defend the humans."Optimus said back, just as stubbornly. I smiled at my mates stubbornness.
Elita manages a scratch on my left arm for my slight distraction too. I growled before landing my own blow on her arm.
"So lost you are Optimus."Sentinel said as he got off Optimus. "On Cybertron, we were considered Gods. Here they call us machines. Let the humans serve us, or parish."Sentinel started walking away, but not before saying on last thing to Optimus. "You're lucky I did not kill you. In time, you will see. Elita, let's go. You can play later."
"It's not over."I heard Optimus say as Elita got off of me and joined Sentinel.
I winced at the slight pain on my arm and legs. But it wasn't anything that would heal eventually. So I shrugged and shook it off before limping over to my mate.
"Come on."I said as I touched his arm and instantly healed his scratches. "Let's get back to the others."
He nodded and followed me.
(Sam's POV)
I hated riding in Mikaela's car. Every time I did, I felt ashamed that I couldn't afford to get her something as nice as this. It irked me that her rich boss got her this car and not me, her boyfriend. I reached into my pocket and felt the black velvet box that I had bought a few days back.
Every time I went to give the ring to her, we got interrupted. I was ready to be able to call her my fiance. I just knew she was the one for me.
"Mikaela?"I asked.
We were currently driving towards our boss's house for a stupid party that I wasn't interested in. I didn't like Dylan to begin with. Anytime I was with him and Mikaela, he always flirted with her and it pissed me off.
"Yeah?"She asked, turning to smile briefly at me before focusing on the road once more.
"Look, I know this isn't the best place to do this, but this is really the first time we've been alone together in a while and I can't wait any longer."I said, taking a deep breath.
We stopped at a stopping light and Mikaela turned towards me.
"Alight. What is it?"
I pulled the black box out of my pocket and revealed the engagement ring from within. It was a beautiful platinum ring with three diamonds, the middle being the biggest. The diamonds weren't big but it was still a beautiful ring.
"Mikaela, will you marry me?"I finally asked.
Mikaela looked at the ring shocked, opening and closing her mouth in disbelief. When she didn't answer after a few minutes, I started to gt discourage. But then she surprised me by pulling me close and kissing me.
Neither of us noticed the light changing. We were both caught up in the moment. When we pulled apart, she took the ring and put it on her ring finger.
"Yes! Yes Sam, I'll marry you!"She squealed.
I grinned, feeling like something huge had been lifted off my shoulders. There was a honk from behind us and we released the light had changed. The rest of the trip was only a few minutes. We parked and ran right into the house, already late. That was when I started getting a bad feeling about coming here.
Dylan was waiting for us when we arrived.
"Ah, you guys made it."Dylan said.
He got out of his chair and offered Mikaela a seat and pushing it in for her as she sat. I clenched my fist at my sides and sat down.
"Sorry we're running late, we had some last minute things to do."Mikaela said, smiling charmingly.
Dylan chuckled and waved the apology off stating that he had run a few minutes behind as well. I mentally rolled my eyes. This guy was ridiculous.
"So, why exactly did you want to meet up."I asked, trying to keep the bitterness out as I spoke.
Mikaela shot me a look, but whether Dylan noticed or not was a mystery. He continued on, talking about all kinds of boring things he's succeeded on. I was slowly getting frustrated, did this guy ever talk about anything other than himself.
"Mikaela, is that a ring on your finger?"Dylan suddenly asked, looking genuinely shocked.
Mikaela smiled at me and nodded.
"Yeah,Sam finally proposed to me and I said yes."She answered.
The look Dylan had on his face when Mikaela said that sealed the deal for me. We needed to get out of there because something wasn't right. Dylan was in the middle of a sentence when I cut him off.
"If you don't mind, I need to speak with my fiance for a minute."I said as I stood up and grabbed her arm, pulling her with me.
"I really think I could help you Sam."Dylan spoke after me as he followed us. "I remember a talk I had with my father about tough choices."
"Now's not the time, we'll set something up though."I replied, wanting to get out of there as fast as possible.
"Of course, that was way back when my father's firm was in charge of budget review and accounting for NASA."Dylan finished, causing both me and Mikaela to freeze in front of the door. "You see, the thing he taught was when it's not your war, you join the side that's going to win."
"Move."I told Mikaela, instantly alert and afraid as we hurried out the door.
We both left the building and went straight for Mikaela's car, getting in and leaving as fast as possible. We didn't get very far though as the thing suddenly transformed, throwing us out as so.
I yelped as Mikaela let out a short scream. A Decepticon looked down at us. He suddenly reached forward and grabbed Mikaela.
"You're mine."He said as he transformed back into a car, locking her in there with him.
"No! Help! Someone get help!"I shouted.
Mikaela beat at the door before yelling that she couldn't get out. A small black bird looking Con flew at me, causing me to fall back as it landed beside the fountain. Dylan said goodbye to some of his associates before walking towards us.
"You really think you're the first young man asked to join the noble alien cause?"Dylan smirked as he approached us.
"Who are you!"I shouted, completely livid at the whole situation.
"You know why we haven't been back to then moon since 1979? Because these two came to my dad and told him to do some creative accounting. They discovered that it would be too expensive to ever go back to the moon, so he and others shut down the American and Russian space programs, and they've been our clients ever since."Dylan explained, not that I really cared.
"You helped them kill people."I asked in complete disbelief and disgust.
"You think they give you a choice? Besides, it's not like I was an active participator."Dylan said as I rushed over to attack his dumb ass. "I am their liaison, I liaise."
The guards who stopped me from attacking Dylan threw me in the grass. I stood back up, not phased by this considering I've been tossed around by Decepticons.
"It's hostile take over Sam."Dylan said.
I watched in horror as a bunch of wires appeared from the con who had Mikaela trapped. She looked at them frightened, though she tried to not show it.
"Sam! Sam!"She shouted.
I once again rushed Dylan, though I was stopped by his dumb guards.
"Let her go!"I yelled.
"I've had my eyes on you for years Sam. You're one spy I've never been able to provide close to the Autobots."Dylan said.
I spit at him, showing my disgust. The guards quickly pulled away, taking me with them, but I didn't care.
"Sam just do what he wants!"Mikaela yelled, completely afraid for her life and her fiance's life at that point. Sam looked over at her, feeling the dread settle in his stomach.
"Yes he will. They all do."Dylan said, before slapping me a crossed the face. He picked me up by my shirt. "They will slaughter her, do you understand me? They will do it to her and they will do it to me, show you better show a little respect when someone offers you a job!"
"Wrist."One of the guards held up Sam's wrist. "You are to track down Optimus Prime cause you are the one human he trusts and you will ask one question, how does he intend to fight back. Strategies, tactics, everything!"The watch that was on Dylan's wrist transformed into a mini Decepticon before settling on my wrist and shocking me. The pain made me fall to the ground.
"Has a nasty little bite, doesn't it? It's very high tech. Let's us see what you see, hear what you hear and attacks your nervous system. So if you so much as try and signal. I don;t know what to tell you Sam. Relationships have consequences. I am here because of my father, she's here because of you."Dylan said as the con continued to mess with Mikaela.
"Stop! Stop, stop, stop! Stop!"I practically begged.
"Soundwave, please."Dylan said, holding up a hand and the con retracted the wires. "Sam, do your job, she'll be safe. I give you my word.
"I'll kill you. You have my word."I promised as the guards led me away.
