So here's the second chapter. To my fellow Prime and Wolf lover: Sorry it's out so late. I know I promised it at the beginning of the week but when you are a senior in high school at a continuation school with deadlines the night I promised the chapter, it gets kinda hard to post, but enough AN. Here is Chapter 2 of Guardian!
On the outside, Alexis was calm and gave off the impression that she was unnerved by the immense size of the large group of mechs as she leaned against her truck's bed. But on the inside, her inner mechanic was laughing hysterically in excitement and doing tricks that would make any gymnast gape in awe and terror at the sheer impossibility of the tricks. Oh how she wanted to figure out how they worked and what made them tick. She could feel her fingers beginning to twitch.
The tallest mech stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, bending his face toward her. "Greetings Miss. I am Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots. May I have your name?" She stayed silent for a second. Wrapping her head around the fact that the mech that Sam practically idolized was right in front of. The only thing that she could think to say was
"I thought you were taller." She cursed her moment of word vomit.
He laughed, a deep and masculine laugh that just made you want to smile. "Yes well, as I'm sure you know, Sam Witwicky was known for his overexcited descriptions." Alexis laugh had a melancholy tone to it. By now, Sam had probably passed on. Optimus seemed to sense that and nodded, standing and turning slightly to his men behind him. "Yes our dear friend Sam Witwicky has joined our fallen brethren and his family in the Great Well of Sparks. I know that Primus will welcome them with open arms, Sam and Mikaela have done many things for our kind. They will not be forgotten." The mechs and femmes behind him all bowed their heads. Sam and Mikaela were very close to the Autobots and their cause. They would be missed.
A traitorous tear slipped down her cheek. She reached up and whipped it away. "Thank you Optimus Prime. Yeah, Sammy and Mickey will be missed. I know they wouldn't want us to feel sorrow for them but joy that they were now enjoying life's next great adventure." Optimus nodded.
"Wise words Miss. I'm afraid you never told us your name. Sam just said that he'd give us the coordinations of a place where we could meet with someone who could help us." Alexis gave a start. How rude was she!
"Oh I'm sorry. I'm Alexis Lucille Dixon, at your service." She gave a dramatic bow with a smirk. She turned to the three canines who had moved to stand at her sides and in front of her. "The GSD in front of me is my Beta; Reyes. The multicolored to my right is my energy ball; Jack and to my right is my best girl; Jinx." Each hound gave a bark when their names were called.
Optimus turned to the large black mech who was eying her dogs with a look of disdain in his eyes. Optimus pointed the smirking silver mech and started the introductions. "The silver mech to my right is my first lieutenant Jazz and to his right is my second lieutenant Prowl." Both mechs gave quite different greetings.
Prowl nodded while Jazz smirked and spun on his right leg only to leap into the air and flip, landing with an accented, "What's crackin' Little Bitches?" Alexis cracked a smile. Seeing a 17 foot mech doing a flip and then speak with a Brooklyn accent was just too much for her. She laughed.
"Sam was right about you Jazz." He gave her a confused look. "You are entertaining!" Jazz joined in her laughter.
Alexis turned back to Optimus who continued on with the introductions. "My weapon specialist Ironhide and his spark mate; Chromia who is the second in command under my spark mate. You know Bumblebee. Next to them is my chief medic Ratchet and his assistants First Aid and Jolt. On the other side of Ironhide is my lovely spark mate and leader of the femmes Elita-One and the rest of her team; Firestar, Moonracer and Arcee. Next to them are our younger set of twins; Skids and Mudflap and our older set of twins; Sideswipe and Sunstreaker and their older brother Red Alert. The Dinobots; Grimlock is the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Slug is the triceratops, Snarl is the Stegosaurus, Swoop is the Pteranodon, Slash is the velociraptor, Strafe is the two headed two tailed Pteranodon. "
Ironhide and Chromia powered up their blasters with wide grins. "Feelin' lucky punk?" Optimus sighed while Reyes, Jack and Jinx started growling at the large black mech. Chromia groaned and smacked him. "Ironhide. Be smart. We want her as an ally, we have no idea what is going on on this planet." Her voice was a crisp english accent that made Alexis want to swoon.
She waved at Bumblebee. He waved enthusiastically back. It was good to see the sweet yellow mech again. He was always so cheerful and entertaining, always messing with Sam.
She turned to Ratchet, the medic looked serious standing there next to Ironhide. She could tell that she would not want to get on his bad side. "Hello there Alexis Dixon. As you are now our ally, I insist that you allow me to scan you to make sure you are fully healthy." Alexis gaped. Scan her? She nodded, unsure. "Thank you." A blue light scanned her, finishing with a beep. "Hmm. It seems that you have acute dehydration, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder." He could tell all that from scanning her?!
"HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?!" She gaped. The medic smirked, not saying a word.
Elita-One stepped forward, catching the attention of Alexis. "Greetings Alexis Dixon. As you know, I am Elita-One. It is an honor to meet the sister of Sam Witwicky. He was a great friend to our kind and you have my condolences. Just come to me, should you need anything."
Alexis nodded. "Thank you. Sam would talk about you guys all the time." She surveyed the watching mechs. "He told me about the two nicknamed Sunny and Sides who would prank Ironhide and Ratchet and how they'd glitch Prowl and be sent to the brig with dents in their heads." A few of the bots laughed while others moaned in annoyed remembrance.
Elita-One laughed and turned to the three femmes behind her, "These are my fellow femmes; Firestar, Moonracer and Arcee." Alexis got a wide grin from Firestar, a nod from Moonracer and an enthusiastic wave from Arcee.
Alexis was about to reply when a burnt orange mech stepped forward and grabbed her from the ground, thoroughly pissing off her pack. "'Eh, Skids. Look a' da lit' squishy!" She let out a low growl, which was promptly ignored by the rude mech. The green mech poked her in the head, "It so soft!" Optimus stepped forward.
"Mudflap, put Miss. Dixon down now." There was a moment of tense silence. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see the surrounding autobots tense and some bring out their weapons.
