One explanation later
Bulkhead had to hold on to side after what just happened. "Wow this is all too much. So let me get this straight. The little sparkling that was inside Flameshot, the one that was surrounding the heart of Cybertron, is you?" He points to Eva.
"Yeah, it's me."
Miko ran over to her. "I don't believe it! First you're an awesome ninja, then you're an awesome rock star, and now you're an awesome Alien?!"
"Half alien."
"Still awesome, do you have any powers?"
"I do actually, but I'm still training so I can't show you right now."
"So how long have you guys known about this?" Bulkhead walks up to Optimus.
"We had our suspicions the moment Eva was taken home to her father's shop."
"Oh, that's right. Why didn't I recognize it before? How is Henry anyway?"
"Completely in the dark about her and Jack meeting us, so remember that."
"Noted. Wow, never would have thought we actually get to know her, right Bee?" Everyone looks at Bee, he hasn't made a beep at all about this. "Uh Bee?"
Eva walks over to him and sees the anger in his eyes. "I know this is must be very strange right now. I know how you and my mother were very close."
"Close? We were best friends! I should have ran after her before she was killed by Megatron! I've been thinking about this everyday and now I have to deal with you?! You even look like her human form!" Bee walks away in anger.
Eva's hair turns blue as she watches Bee walk into the hallway. Raf walks up to her. "Uh… do you want to know what he said?"
She looks down at him. "What do you mean?"
"You probably want to know what he said considering that you can't understand him."
"What are you talking about? I can hear him loud and clear. Poor guy blames me for my mother's death." Raf and the others look at her with wide eyes. "What?"
"You can understand Bee?"
"Yeah, can you?"
Jack walks up to her. "Me and Miko can only here beep bop when it comes to Bee."
"Huh, that makes sense. When it comes to tourists, I can understand their language and can speak back and they can understand me. I guess it works with Cybertronians too."
"You never told me that."
"I don't tell you everything." Eva hears Bee punching things from there. "How long do you think he will be like this?"
Arcee kneels down. "He was way worse when we found Flameshot's body. So you probably have it good, give him time, and he will come around, eventually."
"I really do hope so, I just find out that Bee wasn't purposely avoiding me and I really want to talk to him."
One week later
Bee was still mad but his tantrum was over. Eva tries to break the ice but it was stone cold. Every time Eva was in his sight, he walks to the other side of the room.
She gets sad but respects his privacy.
"PRIME!" Optimus walks over to the computer. "PRIME!" Everyone sees Fowler's face on the computer.
"Special Agent Fowler, to what do we owe…"
"What else? Cons. I chased them off with some hard ordnance, but not before they blew me out of the sky."
Miko laughed, "Again?"
"They tried a smash-and-grab for the D.N.G.S."
"The…what's it?" Arcee shows confusion on her face.
"Dynamic Nuclear Generation System,' aka D.N.G.S." Fowler flips a switch to show the cargo hold and it shows a big box with hazard signs on it. "It's a prototype energy source I'm porting to the coast for testing."
Hatchet huffs. "That's absurd. Why would Starscream bother with such primitive technology?"
"I'm guessing to make a big, fat, primitive weapon of mass destruction. If this baby were to melt down, it would irradiate this state and the four next door."
Eva rolls her eyes. "Why does humanity make weapons of war when can have peace?"
"Uh, did Agent Fowler say what state he is currently in?"
"He's in Wisconsin at the point-beach state forest." Everyone looks at her. "Saw him go down in my visions, but Uncle Will told me last time to never worry about him. He can handle himself. … kind of."
Fowler's voice came back through. "I'm a sitting duck out here Prime, I need you to spin up your bridge and send the D.N.G.S. to its destination before the 'cons come back for it."
Optimus shook his head. "I'm afraid that sending such a volatile devise through a ground bridge is out of the question. If there were to be an accident during its transition, the radiation of which you speak could propagate through the ground bridge vortex and harm all fifty states…and beyond."
Fowler looked down at his controls, "You got any better ideas?"
"We will go down there and help transport the device by driving to the destination." Eva's hair begins to turn dark purple. "We will see you there, Agent Fowler." Everyone begins to get ready then he notices Eva trying to stay calm. "Eva… would you like to join us on this mission?"
Eva smiles at this and nods. Miko buts in. "Cool, I call point."
Eva chuckles. "Sorry, tough girl, but only the trained professionals can go on these missions. But if you want, I can help you train later."
Miko gets mad and sits on the couch.
"Autobots, prepare to Roll out." Eva jumps from the railing to the ground and fetches her motorcycle. "Arcee and Eva, you will hide in the trailer incase the Decepticons break through the bars. Eva, incase the cons make it phase 2, you will be emergency phase 3."
Eva solutes him. "Yes sir."
"Wait." Ratchet walks up to her and kneels down. "You can't be an official Autobot without this." Ratchet give Eva an Autobot symbol necklace. "It's a communicator and a location device. Since you're starting to gain your powers, your cybertronian parts should activate through your human ears."
Optimus smiles at her. "Welcome to team Prime, Eva."
Eva smiles and puts it around her neck. "Thank you, Optimus. I won't let you down." She continues to get ready and activates her flowing hair, levitating her bike in the trailer. "Ready to go." She climbs in and Arcee follows. "Wish me luck friends." The door was closing as she waves to the children.
"By Eva."
"Crush some cons in my name, girl."
"But stay safe, sis."
The bots drive through the bridge and made it to Agent Fowler. When the trailer opened, Eva was a little surprised. Then she sees Fowler looking at her. "Hi Uncle Will."
"Eva? Oh man. You should have told me she was coming."
"Don't worry, I won't get in the way."
"It's not that what I'm afraid of." Everyone gets the D.N.G.S in the trailer and everyone got ready.
Arcee sees Eva with light blue hair and hopping a little. She chuckles. "Ready for your first team mission?"
Eva stop and her hair turns pink. "Sorry, but yeah I am excited. I've never seen you guys in action before or fight with the entire team. 4 and ½ bots against the forces of evil."
"4 and ½? Oh… because… yeah, forgot about that."
"Autobots, roll out!" the trailer began to move and Eva held on to Arcee for support.
Time skip
Eva and Arcee were laughing. "That really happened?"
"Yeah, Henry was covered in oil after experiment went off. And he said it was okay because he was just wearing his 'bad shirt' that day." They laughed.
They hear Optimus honking a few times and Eva knew what it was about. After it stopped Eva turns on her com. "Sniper Viper to Big Dog, is Big Donut giving you a hard time?"
"Very funny, Sniper Viper. You would honk too if there was an old jalopy in front of you."
"I always drive my bike, and I would just pass him." The girls chuckle. Eva turns off the com and leans back staring at the D.N.G.S. For some reason, she feels drawn to it, like she wants to reach out and grab it.
"Let me guess, you want to take its power."
"Is that what I feel?"
"As the heart of Cybertron lives, it craves power from any source. When we first got to earth, Flameshot sensed a power plant and she sucked it dry. She didn't mean to, but she learned how to control it since then. She volunteered to disassemble bombs by sucking the radiation out of them."
Eva looks at the box. "You think I should suck the energy out of the devise if necessary?"
"Let's just hope it won't come to that."
"Watch your rear-views."
Luckily, Eva putted mini cams all over the trailer. She gets out a tablet, turned it on to the back cam and saw a lot of green cars surrounding Bulkhead.
"I thought Decepticon drones were purple not green." Eva hears a helicopter in the sky and turns on the other cam on the roof. "And since when do cons have helicopters?" She can only watch as the green cars start to surround the team. The side cam opens to one of green cars siding next to Optimus, but then Eva's hair turned white when she saw what happened next.
The roof window opened and a man in a medal suit pointed a gun at Agent Fowler. "Pull over."
Eva's head began to hurt as an old memory began to show.
Johnny falls down into her arms and men in metal suits began to surround the students and staff.
Eva came to and dropped the tablet. Arcee stabilized her. "Eva, are you okay?"
Tears began to fall from her eyes. "Those men… they worked for her or maybe still do."
"For who?"
Eva slid down to the ground. "They work for the one who killed my boyfriend."
The trailer began to swerve and Arcee held on to her. "How dependent are these guys?"
"If it weren't for me, they would have killed everyone at prom."
"Autobots, maintain your cover and apply minable force, disarmament only. Sniper Viper, big curves are up ahead. Brace yourself."
"Got it, Big Dog." All of a sudden the trailer began to move back and forth. Eva made sure that the device was tight enough to not go off. But she falls back to the wall then senses someone on the other side of the wall. She hears sparks on the other side. "Oh no you don't." Her hair ignites and she uses her powers to fling the man from the trailer. "Got him."
"Eva?"
"Don't worry, he landed in a tree."
"I do hope you take care of D.N.G.S. than you do your captives." Eva and Arcee listen to com to hear a new voice.
"Special Agent William Fowler here. Identify yourself."
"I am Silas, but a greater consequence to you, we are MECH. Fair warning, we will be helping ourselves to your device, even if it mean effecting casualties."
"Is that so? Tell me Si, what's a market price for a D.N.G.S. these days?"
"What makes you think we attend to sell it?" Eva's eyes widen. They were going to use it was a weapon. "There's a war brewing, between the new world and the newest?"
Eva puts on her helmet and hops on her bike. Arcee puts her hand on her arm. "You don't have to this."
"I'm not doing this for me or for Johnny." They hear bombs on the door and it begin to open. "I'm doing it for humanity."
Arcee transforms next to her. "Ready when you are."
Eva watch the men climb out of the car on the roof. "Let's ride!" The motorcycle turns on and both girls ride out, bumping the car making crash into another making it explode. "Whoo! That felt good! That was for you, tough girl!"
"Thanks, girl!"
"Optimus, prepare to initiate phase 2. Five miles ahead to the south, you will reach the rendezvous point."
As Eva heard that, she shakes the feeling that someone else might have heard that. She sees a small traindriving the side of them and sense someone familiar. "Hey Big Donut, why do I sense someone familiar on that train?"
"It's what I was afraid of. Go to the tunnel and we'll meet you on the other side."
"Got it. Keep them safe, Arcee."
"You got it, Sniper Viper."
The bots went through the train tunnel and Eva went through the original tunnel. No one was following her but she still had that feel. She presses auto-mode as she feels a vision coming to her head.
Six purple jets flew past the green helicopter and fires missiles at the bots.
Eva gasps and takes control again. She makes to the end of the tunnel meeting the others. "Optimus, I had a vision and cons are headed our way."
"I understand. Keep your guard Autobots."
Then next thing they knew, her vision come true and the cons fly above them. "Optimus, you have company."
The missiles fire and Eva puts her bike on auto-mode to jump between the trailer and Optimus. She breaks the bond and the trailer flies. She jumps back on her bike and watches at the trailer explodes. 'I see phase 2 went smoothly.'
As they make to an edge of a cliff, the Decepticons transform and landed on the ground. "Agent Fowler, I afraid if you and we are going to survive, it has become absolutely necessary to blow our cover." Optimus and the other transform showing what they really are.
Eva looks up to the helicopter as it hoovers over the scene. Then she sees Optimus looking down at here. "Something tells me that you are going to say don't use my powers in front of these guys."
"I'm sorry Eva."
"I don't need to use my powers to kick these bucket heads." She presses a button and her bike activates showing some weapons. "I upgraded my bike during my spare time."
"After a long road trip, it's good to get out of car, stretch my legs, and kick some tailpipe!" Bulkhead brings out his wrecking ball and everyone charges cons. Eva begins to shoot from her bike and some cons. As some begin to shoot at her, she lets oil out of her and surrounds one and tosses a match at it making some explode.
"Special Agent Fowler, you lead a charmed life walking among titans."
"Come on down, I'll introduce ya."
"In good time, but at the moment, I'm too busy wondering how the D.N.G.S. might have vanished into thin air without a trace." Eva widens her eyes, Si wasn't as dumb as he sounds. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a train to catch." The green helicopter flies over the cliff and heads for the train.
"Prime. Silas got wise to phase 2."
"I understand." Before Optimus could say anything else, a con gets a log just lying around and hits Optimus in the head.
"Optimus!" Eva drives her bike and uses her powers to fling the con away from the cliff. She gets off the bike, slides down to Optimus and takes off her helmet. "Optimus wake up!" He was too knocked out to do anything. "Oh man what am I going to do?" She looks to see the copter over the train. She pats Optimus on the head. "If you can here me, I'm sorry. But you made me emergency phase 3 for a reason, and because of that, it has become absolute necessary to blow my cover." She activates her hair and takes off after the train. She opens her com. "Raf, are you there?"
"I'm here, Eva."
"I need you to create a distraction for me while I board the train, can you do that?"
"There will be a fork in about 3 miles. I'll direct the train, will that help?"
"It's perfect, call me if there any interferences." Eva sneaks behind the train waiting for the fork. After a few minutes, she sees the fork. When the trains turns to a different route, the copter flies out of control and tries to stabilize itself, and Eva uses this chance to sneak in where the device is. She opens the hatch and finds the device but also sees someone unconscious on the ground. "Dad! Are you okay?!" She shakes him and he groans meaning that he's still alive. Sparks began to cut through the ceiling. She looks through her clothes to find anything to defend herself. "The one day I forget to bring my weapons." She looks around to find an axe. "Have to do? Thank you for weapons training partner."
Optimus finally comes to and sees the copter on the train. "Eva."
The piece of roof fell and three men show up in the clearing. "You do not want to mess with me." She spins the axe in her hand and poses with it.
One of the men stand back in fear. He definitely remembers her and runs back in the copter. "Sir, it's Evangeline Rose Darby."
Silas watches as Eva hops on the roof with the axe. "Fire!"
The two men shoots at Eva and she uses the axe to block the attacks. She then uses her technique to push the guys and the copter by five feet. "That is a warning, get your butts on the copter and fly away before I blast you with my fire power."
They look at Silas and makes the call. "Retreat." The other two guys climb in the copter and fly away.
Eva watches with pride on her face. "And that is how you stare fear in the eye." But her moment fades when she sees a missile fly straight in the tracks up ahead. "Oh man, that's not good." She hops in the trailer and shakes her dad. "Dad, how many men are on this train?"
He was still woozy but gives her an answer. "11-teen."
"That's too many even in a mixed number." She turns on her com. "Ratchet, MECH has blown the tracks. Can you bridge everyone out of here?"
"We lost access to the train data, I can't bridge you without knowing your precise coordinates."
"Where is Optimus?"
"He's trying to catch up, but probably won't make it in time. Eva… you have to stop the train."
"WHAT, ME?! I can't stop something going 90 miles an hour, I can't carry all those soldiers from the train one at a time, and I can't let the device go off of billions of people and animals will be destroyed. I don't have enough power to do this."
"No you don't… but there is something that can give you a boost."
Eva stops panicking then look at the D.N.G.S. "Okay, this is so stupid… but I don't have a choice, do I?"
"Eva, you have done many things through out your time here with us. I believe you can do this."
"He's right big sis. I believe in you too."
"Same here, you're the queen of Rock. Nothing can stand in your way."
"You can do this, Eva."
Eva takes a deep breath and lets it out. "Okay, I'll do it." She drops down and holds her dad. "I'm sorry." She lets go and stands up walking toward the device.
Henry wakes up slowly seeing his daughter put her hands on the device. "Eva?" Eva begins to suck out the energy from the device through her arms and into the heart of Cybertron. "Eva, what are you doing?!"
"Stay back dad! I don't know what's going to happen!" Her hair began to glow neon green and it got brighter and brighter until it was too bright to see.
Optimus to see the bright green light from where he was driving and he knew what his partner was doing. "Maximum overdrive." He began to speed up and drive next to the cart.
Eva sensed him outside. "Dad, Optimus is outside. Jump and I will catch up later."
"I'm not leaving you!"
Eva used as little of her powers to lift him off the ground. "I'm not asking." She tosses him out and Optimus opens his door to catch him.
Henry snaps out of it. "We have to stop her."
"If she doesn't do it, almost half of the country will be in radiation. Eva is almost like her mother, she can do this." Optimus sees the tracks blown off up ahead. "But maybe not in time. Eva, get out of there!"
Eva was almost done sucking out of the radiation and she sensed the blown up tracks up ahead. Once all the radiation was gone, she flew out through the hole and used her power to lift the train from its tracks. It took a lot of strength and power, but Eva manages to save the train and all the soldiers along with it. Once the train was safe, Eva looks up to the copter and makes a glare.
"Well played, Darby. But MECH still has home-field advantage and we will find a way to level that playing field… even if we have to open up your allies and yourself to see what makes you all tick." The copter flew away.
Eva descends slowly landing in Optimus's hands. "Eva, are you okay?"
She looks to where the tracks have blown. "Physically, yes. But my worst fear has come true. Those men we faced today were the same men that worked with my enemy 3 years ago. Now I wonder if Silas and Jessica are working together. And if they are, I will be ready for them." She cracks her knuckles.
Ratchet finishes his scans on Eva. She takes a breather after laughing from that tickle ray. "So Ratchet, what does your scanner say, do I need to be quarantined?"
"Amazing. According to scanners, there is no radiation on you. The heart of Cybertron literally turned it into pure energy for you."
Eva walks over to Ratchet. "Seriously? That is so cool."
"But I'd advice you to take an easy. When your mother takes away raw energy, she sometimes experience new powers or accidentally activates them."
"Got it." Eva hears a clear throat sound. Her father was staring up at her with a disappointed face. Her hair turns dark purple and jumps off the medical bed. But as soon as she does she began to bounce to the ceiling, then the walls, then the floor and then back up again.
Optimus and Ratchet watch as this happens. "Ratchet?"
"Yes, Op…timus?"
"The bouncing?"
"Yeah, I noticed."
Eva eventually is caught by Optimus. "I'm guessing that's a side effect."
"Until you are cleared for take off, no using powers." Optimus puts her down.
Eva nods and walks to her dad. "I… I don't know what to say."
"That makes two of us. How could you not tell me that you knew about the Autobots?!"
"What was I suppose to tell you? 'Hey dad, you're not gonna believe what I saw today. Aliens are here and turns out I'm related to their leader.' Yeah those are the kind of things that people with think that you are crazy."
"Adeline never wanted you to see this. She wanted you to have a normal life."
Eva's hair turns red. "Don't you dare tell me about my mother! When were you gonna tell me the truth about my mother?! As you saw, I have her powers now and why didn't tell me this after the prom fiasco?! I thought I was a freak for three years! Now, because of a random accident, I finally get some answers from the other side of the family! They could helped me in my early years and I might be in a different situation right!" Eva turns her back from him.
Henry was shocked. Eva has never talked to him like that, even when she was angry before. "Eva…"
"Just go… and don't let the ground bridge hit you on the way out!" Eva runs past the Autobots and down the hall to her mother's lab.
Henry felt his heart rip out of his chest. He lost his first wife, his second wife along with his son and now he lost his daughter.
Optimus kneels down to him. "One father to another, give her time but limit it or you'll lose her forever. I will try to calm her down enough to talk to you later on."
Henry chuckles. "That's what I should have done in the past. I never said I'm sorry for what happened to Flameshot."
"What happened couldn't have been predicted, not even by the holder of The Heart of Cybertron. Now that Megatron has been terminated, Eva is safe from any real danger."
Henry nods and looks at Ratchet. "Can you bridge me to my home base? They're gonna wonder why the package hasn't been delivered."
Ratchet nods and works on the bridge.
Once Henry was gone, the children come out from hiding. Jack couldn't believe what had just happened. He always thought his father cared about no one but himself, now he sees the father that Eva sees in him everyday. "Why didn't I see this side of him before?"
"Sometimes anger clouds your mind so much, we're blind to see the obvious." Jack looks to see Optimus staring down the hall. "You better come along, we both need to help her calm down."
Jack nods and walks with him.
Meanwhile, Eva was crying with red hair. She had put in a mattress in case she began to stay there overnight. "Why mom… why didn't he tell me? He should have been the first one to have told me." She hears a knock on the door.
"Eva, Jack is with me can we come in?" Eva clears her eyes and pushes a button to open the door.
Optimus helps Jack on the desk. "Wow, I never knew this was here." Jack sits next to her. "I'm very sorry Eva."
"This wasn't your fault, Jack."
"I mean, I'm sorry I never saw him like a real father. All I could only think about is him leaving Mom and us. Even after finding out the truth, I was still mad at him. I could never see what made you so attached to him, why you would always stay on his side. At least… at least until now." He puts his hand on her shoulder. "I think you two should talk."
"I can't Jack, at least not right now. When I tell him these kind of things, he always told no one else could ever understand these kind of things and to keep them to myself. That was why I was planning on never telling him, he would have tried to take this away from me." Eva looks up to Optimus starts to walk up to him. "To take away half of my family, of who I am, of what I could be?" She hugs his fingers. "And I'm not letting it go without a fight."
Optimus rubs her hair. "You won't lose us Eva, take as much time as you need, but also limit it. You don't want to lose your father, like I lost your mother."
Eva looks up and smiles. Jack walks to her and pats her on the back. "I'm so glad I have all of you." She one arm hugs Jack and then he jumps. "What is it?" He points at her arm and she sees that her arm was extended, looking like a robotic arm. "Wow, I think my cybertronian parts have been activated."
"We better get you to Ratchet."
Hope you all like the chapter. Judging by the following and favorites not disappearing, I still have your attention. The next chapter will be funny and might get a little inappropriate.
