~Hi everyone! I LIVE! XD I'm SO sorry for not updating in like months! With summer classes and my writers block and my grandparents not doing well in health, it's taken a toll on my writing. So, to clarify, the new character in this chapter, Zyon, is an OC of the core of justice! I do not own them! I only own Emily. Anyway, I really hope you're not mad at me for this chapter! I'll try to start writing the next chapter soon! Enjoy!~
A few days had passed and soon, it was time for me to head to the Lennox home. Granted, I was happy to have a home, but it felt as if I was going to be intruding on Will's and Sarah's life. So here I was, standing in the middle of the hanger bay door on base with nothing but my guitar. I didn't really have anything else. Jazz stood by me, as well as Ironhide and Optimus. Ratchet was busy in the medbay. I flickered nervously,
"Lil' lady, don' be nervous. It'll be ok." Jazz said with a smile. I looked up at him with a frown.
"But what if Sarah and Annabelle don't like me? What are they going to say when they find out that I'll only be around for a few months?" I asked quietly. At this, Jazz frowned and looked at Optimus. The Prime then transformed and activated his holoform. He placed his hands on my shoulders as he said
"I believe that they will still love you despite what happens."
I stared at him for a moment, my brown eyes looking at his blue ones before nodding in understanding. Optimus smiled gently at me and his holoform fizzled out. I sighed, turning to Lennox, who was finishing with packing his bags into Ironhide's alt mode. The weapons specialist grumbled something like "You plan on bringing bodies with you? Your bags weigh a ton." Lennox laughed and replied
"It's only for a few months, 'Hide." He then turned and waved me over. "You ready to head home?" I looked at him and then around the base, the only other place I had grown use to since coming here.
"I guess." I said softly. Will smiled at me and nodded to Jazz, who transformed and opened his passenger door for me. It was decided that Jazz would stay with the Lennox family along with Ironhide for the time that I was staying with them. So, I went with Jazz and Lennox went with Ironhide as they left the base and headed home. Optimus would escort us and then he would return to base. All the while, the closer they got to the Lennox home, the more I started to flicker like a struggling candle, extremely nervous. Jazz gently tightened the seatbelt around me, a way of reassuring me it was going to be okay. Soon, Jazz slowed to a stop. A white house with green shutters stood beside a big and somewhat worn out barn. The property was surrounded by a brown fence and tall grass. I stared at the house, not moving.
It looks so much different from my old house... I thought as Jazz activated his holoform and stepped out. Lennox stepped out and walked over to them. He noticed I hadn't moved and he sighed.
"Em, it's alright." He said as he slowly opened the door and helped me out. Just then, the front door to the house opened to reveal a blond-haired, middle aged woman with blue eyes.
That must be Sarah.
She walked over to Lennox, embracing him in a hug and kiss. Then, she looked over at me and I nervously shifted my weight on my good leg as I stared at the ground. She came up to me and smiled.
"You must be Emily. Will told me so much about you. Welcome to the family." She said as she hugged me. That caught me off-guard. She liked me already? What exactly did Will tell her? I gave Will a confused look and he only chuckled in response. Sarah seemed like a nice woman and pretty. As she led us inside, I had almost forgotten about one thing...
"MOMMY, IS MY SISSY HERE YET?!" a voice screamed from the stairs and I winced. Before Will or Sarah could answer, a small blur ran downstairs and collided into my legs so hard that I almost fell backwards. She had big brown eyes and long light brown hair. She looked around eight years old. It then suddenly clicked in my brain that this Energizer bunny was Annabelle. She stared up at me, put on the biggest smile I had ever seen, and said
"Hi sissy. I'm Annabelle. What's your name?" she asked as she latched onto me like an octopus. I managed a smile as I looked down at her.
"I'm Emily." Annabelle giggled as she hugged me. She then saw my leg.
"What that?" she asked, pointing to it and Sarah scolded her.
"Belle, we don't point and we don't ask rude questions." But I waved her off politely.
"It's ok." I told her and I knelt in front of Annabelle.
"I saved your dad from an accident and I ended up getting hurt." was my way of explaining it. I didn't want to traumatize her when I just met her. She mouthed 'Oh' and nodded in understanding. Annabelle was a cute girl. She had a lot of energy and was fun to be around. Will then showed me to my room, which was right next to Annabelle's. I started to unpack with Will's help and soon got settled in. Then, a knock came at my door. I squeaked in surprise and turned invisible. The door opened to reveal Jazz in his holoform. He laughed with a wide smile and said
"Ah ain't that scary, Em!" I only gave him a glare in response and he grinned at me before turning to Will. "Optimus wants to talk to ya." He told him and Will nodded with a sigh.
"Alright. Em, you going to okay?" he asked. I nodded and he kissed my forehead before nodding to Jazz and leaving to go talk to Optimus. That left just Jazz and I. There was am awkward silence as Jazz looked around and sat on my bed while I continued to unpack. Will was kind enough to get me some new clothes before I arrived, so I was thankful for that. My room was relatively large. It had blue walls and a large bed with a bedside dresser. A desk sat beside the window looking out to the farm. I placed my violin by my desk and sighed. Jazz gave me a concerned look.
"Lil' lady, you okay?" he asked.
"Hm? Oh yeah. I'm just still trying to make sense of all this. I need a vacation." I replied, massaging my temples as I sat down beside my guardian. Jazz nodded in understanding and wrapped an arm around me.
"Ah hear you, Em. Ah know..." he said softly. I sighed. It felt weird for me, finding a family and a new home. Yet, I still missed my parents...Suddenly, Sarah's kind voice from downstairs brought me out of my thoughts.
"Emily! Can you come downstairs?" I looked up and yelled back
"Yeah! Give me a sec!" I got up and led Jazz downstairs to see Sarah, Annabelle and Will in the kitchen.
"What's up?" I asked them as I sat down in one of the chairs by the counter. Will grinned.
"There's an eagle presentation in town and we wanted to know if you were interested in going." he explained. Honestly, I wasn't a fanatic with birds but I did find them pretty cool. So, why not go? I mean, if it meant bonding with Will, Sarah and Annabelle, sure. I nodded.
"Sure, Why not?" I said with a smile and Sarah smiled back. We all got ready and we headed out. Jazz came with us and once we got to town for the presentation, we all filed out. I looked around as Jazz activated his holoform. There was a crowd of people around a little stage. We made our way over to it and I heard what sounded like a young boy's voice. As I got closer I was able to get a better view. The presenter was a boy a little younger than me, African American and brown hair. He had an eagle on his arm as he talked. But there was something...different about this boy. I couldn't place it. The boy finished his presentation and he looked at me. I flickered a little, feeling his eyes on me. His eyes widened and his mouth opened in shock.
Til' all are one. Primus's voice echoed in my mind. What? I continued to stare at the boy as he slowly made his way over to me. The crowd was started to disperse and soon, it was just me and him. Lennox, Sarah and Annabelle were looking around at the eagle display that was nearby. The boy stood in front of me, his eagle on his arm and stared before he said
"Who are you?"
Wow. What a question to start things off. I swallowed and stared back, eying
"A girl." was my sassy reply and the boy gave me a look.
"Obviously. What's your name?" he asked.
"Emily. Your turn." I said, crossing my arms.
"Zyon and this is Asger." he said softly, gesturing to the eagle on his arm. Asger screeched and ruffled his wings, looking at me and giving me what looked like a death glare. I gave Asger a 'What the heck' face and looked back at Zyon. There was an awkward silence between us. He seemed very shy as he looked away and then back at me, unsure what to say. Jazz had been standing nearby, keeping an eye on me and I saw that his eyes had widened when he saw Zyon. That got me confused. What was wrong? I gave Jazz a worried look before turning back to Zyon. What he said next made my whole body freeze.
"You're the Allspark?"
My brain screeched to a halt and I stared at him, mouth open in shock and confusion. Trying to keep my cool, I took a deep breath. See, no one was suppose to about my involvement with the Autobots. I mean, no ordinary person. So how in Primus's name did this boy know? But instead of saying something to refute him, I said
"Excuse me?"
"You're the Allspark." he said again, more of a statement this time. I waved my hands in front of me and laughed nervously.
"No! I have no idea what you're talking about. What's this Allspark you speak of?" I asked with a nervous smile. Zyon gave me an unconvincing look.
"You're lying." He said simply with a frown.
"Phhttt! No I'm not! ...ok maybe I am. Wait a minute! How do you know about the Allspark?" I asked, grabbing his shirt collar and dragging him off to the side and giving him a straight face. Zyon stared at me with wide eyes in slight fear before saying, no whispering,
"Primus told me." Now, it was my turn to stare at him with wide eyes. He continued to explain. "I'll prove it. Before you came over to me, he told you 'Til all are one.'"
I stared at him. "H-How..." I struggled to find words when I felt a familiar yet odd presence wash over me.
Emily, the boy is my vessel. Primus' voice spoke in my mind.
It's true. Even though you can hear Primus, I can too and since you're the Allspark and I'm his vessel, it works out. Zyon's voice came through to me in my head. I held my head, shaking it.
"Woah woah woah! Hold on. You're his vessel." I said, pointing at him. Zyon nodded a little. "Is that how you found me? Primus led you here by talking to me?"
"Yes. He said I needed to find you. He needs us to both revive Cybertron. Your powers can bring it back and I need to restore Primus to the planet." Zyon explained. My brain was trying to make sense of everything he was telling me. Well, I knew he wasn't lying. The whole mind-speaking things kinda reassured me of that. I sighed heavily, rubbing my head but before I could say anything, Jazz had made his way over to us and looked at Zyon.
"Hey, Em. Who's your friend?" He asked me.
"Uh, Zyon." I managed to say. Zyon smiled a little and waved shyly. Jazz waved back and shook his hand. He then turned to me and said
"Your dad is looking to head back. You ready to go?" I nodded.
"Yeah. I was very...interesting meeting you, Zyon." I said, turning to him. Zyon nodded back.
"Maybe we can hang out again soon."
"Sure." And with that, we awkwardly said goodbye and left. I followed Jazz back to his alt mode and met up with Will, Sarah and Annabelle. All the while, my head was spinning from meeting Zyon. Should I tell the bots? How did he end up being Primus's vessel? When would I see him again? All these questions were floating around by the time we got home and when everyone went inside, Jazz noticed I was still outside.
"Ya ok, lil lady?" He asked me, worry in his voice. I nodded.
"Just...a lot going on in here." I replied, tapping my head with a sigh. He grinned.
"Ya thinking about that boy?" He asked as he transformed and nudged me teasingly. I glared at him, swatting him away.
"Jazz! Not like that! Ew! God!" I exclaimed with a weird look. He laughed as he and I sat down in the grass.
"I'm just messing with ya." He said. I gave him a look.
"Sure..." I muttered. Jazz scooped me up in his servo, bringing me to his spark. I yawned tiredly and rested against him. He smiled.
"Get some recharge, Em. Ya need it." He said softly and I nodded, my eyes drooping as I relaxed in my guardian's servo. Soon, I fell asleep peacefully. What an eventful day and it was going to get even more interesting.
