*Chapter 3: Barricade Chase*
"Where the hell have you been?" June asked as soon as Jack walked in the living room. "I was worried! I had to call the police!"
"I'm sorry." Jack replied. "But don't worry, I got my car back from...the car thief. I think...Sam got his car back." He couldn't tell his mother about Orionna. It had to be a secret for now. "I'm going back to bed." Jack walked upstairs to get to his room to rest up while June watches him with a look.
"We'll talk about this later." She called.
Jack closes his bedroom door and collapse on his bed. He still couldn't believe it. His Ferrari is a robot in disguise. How will Sam handle his robot? Only the two of them knew about it. They must keep this a secret from others. Jack sighed and closed his eyes to sleep. He will deal with this tomorrow.
The next day while June is out to work at the hospital, Jack went outside to his car. The driver's door opened for him. Jack got inside and relax in the seat. The engine started to run and drive out of the driveway.
"Where are we going?" Jack asked.
"Somewhere we could talk, Jack. The other Autobots will arrive soon." Orionna spoke from the radio.
"Okay. But, what about Sam? Or that yellow robot friend of yours?" Jack wondered. "Should Sam know about this?"
"Bumblebee told me that Sam Witwicky was taken by the police. But don't worry, his father got him out. We still need that boy." Orionna replied. Jack wondered why Sam is important to the Autobots now. What do they want from him?

They drive through out the city, but they saw Sam riding his mother's pink bike, screaming for help. Jack turned to see him do a flip and land hard on his back. Not only that, Mikaela saw him from the table by the restaurant talking to her friend. Orionna and Jack watched Sam got on the bike and ride away, claiming that his car is chasing him.
"Bumblebee is following him. Sam had the wrong idea." Orionna said.
"Let's go after him." Jack said, holding the wheel. Before the car could take off, there is a police car following Sam as well. But it took a different route. "Uh, Orionna? Let's go." Jack spoke, looking at the radio.
"Jack, get out of the car."
"What? Why?"
"It's not safe." The door opened and Jack was forced to get out of the Ferrari. As he sat up from the side of the street, the car took off in full speed.
"Hey! Orionna! Wait!" Jack yelled. "Are you kidding me?!" He got on the sidewalk and curse to himself. Mikaela pulled over with her motorcycle to see Jack muttering to himself.
"Need a ride?" She asked. Jack turned to her. "I'm worried about Sam." Jack didn't waste any time and climbed on the motorcycle. "Hang on." They took off after Sam and the cars.
Sam was being chased by a transformed police robot. The Decepticon. It threw Sam to the hood of the car and yell at him. The red optics glow brightly at the terrified teen.
"Are you username Ladiesman217?!" The Decepticon screamed. "Are you username Ladiesman217?!"
"Yes!" Sam yelled, trying to back away.
"Where is eBay item 21153? Where are the glasses?!" The robot yelled again. Before Sam could get a chance to get away from the grasp, Orionna threw herself on the evil robot. Sam screamed at this and fell off the car. A camaro arrived at the scene and open one of the doors for him.
"Sam!" Two voices yelled. Sam turned to see Mikaela and Jack arriving in the parking lot.
"Guys! Get out of here!" Sam yelled. But Mikaela and Jack got off the bike and see two robots fighting. Jack sees Orionna fighting off the Decepticon. The camaro honked its horn getting the teens' attention. "Go! Get in!" Sam said, shoving Mikaela and Jack inside Bumblebee. The camaro drove off, leaving two robots in the dust.
Orionna ducked as the Decepticon swung his weapon and kick at his ankle.
"Stand down, Barricade!" Orionna growled.
"We never stand down, you foolish femme!" Barricade yelled. "Out of my way!" He grabbed her by the chest and threw her aside. He transformed back into a police car and took off to follow Bumblebee and the teens. Orionna grunted and uses the commlink to contact Bumblebee.
"Bumblebee, Barricade will be on your trail. I will be on my way as soon as I can." She said before she transform back into a Ferrari.
Orionna arrived on time to see Barricade and Bumblebee fight as the teens tried to get away from being squashed. She transformed and got help Bumblebee fight Barricade off. Barricade screamed at them in Cybertronian language as he swung his weapon at Bumblebee as Orionna got out the sword blades from the arms. She swung her arms around to hit Barricade in the chest.
Jack and the others watched them fight, but one little silver robot started to attack Sam. His pants were off by the robot, and Mikaela got the tool to whack it off. She stabbed it over and over until the body stopped moving, but lost a head.
"Not so tough without a head, are you?" Sam spat and kick the head away as it screamed. Jack caught his breath and turn back around to see Orionna stood before Barricade who transformed and drove away. Bumblebee touches her shoulder, thanking her for the assist. Orionna nodded and turn to the teens. They stood on the hill watching them.
"You guys okay?" Jack asked them.
"Yes." Orionna replied as Bumblebee chirped a little in response. Sam stood by Jack, watching the Autobots. Mikaela was confused by the whole thing while Sam is figuring about his robot. Bumblebee talked through the radio. Not like Orionna. He speaks from the satellite radio. Orionna turned to the teens. "Bumblebee speaks from the satellite radio. He lost his voice. We are still working on that." She said.
"He...he talks through the radio?" Sam asked. Bumbleblee clapped his hands at him.
"Thank you, you're beautiful. You're wonderful, you're wonderful." He replied. Jack smiled at this.
"So, what was that last night?" Sam asked. "What was that?" Bumblebee looks up at the sky.
"Message from Starfleet, captain. Through the inanimate vastness of space. Angels will rain down like visitors from heaven! Hallelujah!" Bumblebee replied. Mikaela joined the boys in wonder. Jack turned to Sam and Mikaela.
"There are more Autobots." He said. "Orionna told me about them coming."
"What?" Sam wondered.
"Are you guys aliens or something?" Mikaela asked them. The two Autobots nodded and transform back into cars. Jack walked up to the Ferrari. Sam and Mikaela got inside Bumblebee since it's safe to ride.
Jack stared at the radio of the car's. He is pretty mad that Orionna threw him out of the car earlier. But he knew it would be risky to stay with her, still he had to help Sam.
"I am sorry about that. Barricade will harm you as well. I can't put you in any danger." Orionna said.
"I know. I understand. Just give me a warning next time you throw me out of the car." Jack said. So, they started to follow Bumblebee to find a spot where the Autobots will meet them. "So, how many Autobots will arrive?" Jack asked.
"You will see. I will tell you one of them."
"Which is that?"
"My father."
