Urr...uhh hey everyone it's me and I have returned after a long break and decided to get back onto all of my fics.
The Entire Cast: ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME!
Me: Hey give me a break, I had writers block not just here but all my stories major blockage extreme.
Oracle: You were planning to just let it die weren't you?
Me: *shifty eyed* nooo...of course not
Lennox and Epps: Liar!
Me: Maybe...but thanks to a certain friend of mine (and editor) I have gotten back on track to this and possibly others *sigh* she really missed this fic and wanted me to continue so that I could learn how to finish things (that and she demanded it, or else...) so there I'm here now right? Ok a brief recap; the girls, NEST and the bots went to Vegas to stop a Decepticon attack. Well more like Nest and the Bots the girls just got into trouble as they decided to see how the Autbots take care of business. Needless to say it went all downhill from there when Maple, Varsity, and Inspire met face to face with the big bad hunk of tinfoil himself Megatron. Meanwhile Oracle was trying to catch up but lost them then ran into Lennox who wasn't happy, it was up them to find the girls and hopefully bring them back. On the way they encountered a mysterious figure that they named the Red Ninja because well it looked red ninja. But the alley they saw the ninja; blew up and they thought the person died after that detour. Anyway so Lennox and Oracle find there friends in a real mess, so quickly they create a distraction to get them out of there unfortunately Megatron might have seen something they hoped he wouldn't. Later on Lennox rejoins the team and things aren't looking to good until Prowl and Sunstreaker appear helping the odds to the Bots favor. It didn't take long for them, the Cons, to retreat soon after giving way for everyone to go home safely. At least they thought safely for when they arrived the Bots came across an intruder not knowing if he was friend or foe they attacked. But Ratchet told them to stop and there was something familiar about this new and old friend. Meanwhile back in the wreckage of Vegas the Red Ninja still lives and has taken something very precious to one of the girls. Who is the Red Ninja? And what new adventures await?
Now on with the chapter and continuation of If Only It Was Over.
Entire Cast...AGAIN!: We repeat...ABOUT DAMN TIME!
Me: Shut UP! I'm the one being held hostage here!
Cast:...what?
Me: Nothing...let's just...continue the chapter
"Jetfire is that really you?" Sideswipe asked amazed his transformation and that he was in fact alive right in front of him. Jetfire however was getting even more annoyed with a gruff he whipped off the soot mark implanted on his left shoulder trying to get rid of the black mess from his new clean body.
"I just said it was me didn't I? Shouldn't that be enough? What do the lot of a screw loose or something?" he asked raising a left optic at them but then directed that look as one of the girls slapped her knee and laughed.
"Finally I've been waiting for one of you to say that!" Inspire shouted and continued to laugh which start to slow down as she noticed everyone around her look at her as if she had gone insane. "You know" she stopped to explain so that they wouldn't let the Hatchet examine her, "because there robots and really have loose screws. Get it?" there was still silence leaving Inspire to blush in embarrassment. "Well I thought it was funny" she mumbled in a pout but was ignored as the Bots were trying to get a grip on the situation at hand.
"Its amazing Ratchet how did you do it?" Bumblebee resisting the urge to touch Jetfire to be sure but had a feeling that if he did a slap to the face would meet him soon after.
"Well it was a real challenge but I made sure to save his spark" Ratchet started as he explained. Once the battle in Egypt had ended like it did Ratchet knew that if weren't for Jetfire they probably wouldn't all be standing there. He was working hard on Jazz still but he saw no reason why he couldn't try to save Jetfire. As long as he kept the spark alive then he wouldn't have to worry, the real task at hand was trying to create him a new body. Considering his old one had become nothing but parts in the fight with the Fallen. He decided to stay true with Jetfire's design after all a flying Autobot would be a worthy ally especially one with his ancient experience against the Decepticons. He gave him admittedly odd colors for a plane but had found a way to make it so that in situations Jetfire could change his paint job for recon purposes, as well as make it so that Jetfire would have two transformations just like Megatron was able to gain in his second life. He had been working on this for past year and finally since Jazz had been healed at last he was able to put more work into it and finished an hour ago Jetfire had been completely revived and reborn. "Luckily Jetfire wasn't willing to give up so easily so his spark stayed alive, it was hard to keep it as such for a time but I got through it. I have to say its one of my best works yet".
Jetfire scoffed as he pointed his cane, which he still kept for he didn't want to lose a part of his old self the one that was a hero. "One of your best works? I know I haven't really gotten a chance to meet you but as I saw you working and don't believe for a second that I couldn't, I saw you use every bit of information you had to bring me back to life. If anything this is you best work above all else, young bot".
"Pfft he called Ratchet young" Sunstreaker elbowed Sideswipe earning them both an evil glare. "I mean yeah young" they tried to cover up but in the end got a giant metal wrench thrown in there direction.
"Where did that come from?" a scared Varsity asked in pure terror as the materialization of wrenches appeared after the fleeing corvette twins.
"I don't know...and I don't think I want too" Maple answered but then returned to the conversation at hand. Optimus this time had stepped forward extending his hand to the once old bot.
"I agree Ratchet very well done" he said to the medic but then returned his attention once again to the turned old con. "I thank you Jetfire if not for you this whole planet would be dead, as well as myself and my team to the Decepticons hands. Because of you not only is this world saved but the entire universe."
Jetfire seemed stunned he didn't know what to say finally he just stood up straight and waved his hand as if deflecting Optimums' words, "Bah! I was a pile of scrap at the time, nothing else I was good for but my parts. You were the one who saved the Universe Optimus but we've only saved it for now. I know that the Decepticons will return once again, probably already have." Ratchet nodded at this confirmation which made him grumble but then think long and hard, "Well there's only one thing to do. The humans I understand you have given them more advanced weaponry to stand a better chance against the Con's correct?" he asked Optimus who gave a slight nod. "Well then if I recall last time it was there air forces in both battles that put a real dent into them, so I suggest we give them some more firepower! The Decepticons are getting more powerful, we will need those air forces but since this base has the most experience... I say you down there with the shag rug on your head" he said calling to Lennox.
Lennox looked around confused wondering who he was talking too, it wasn't however until Epps let loose a chuckle that he realized it was him. "Oh you mean me?" he asked resisting the urge to give the Ancient Ex-Con the bird.
Jetifre gave him a look that clearly questioned Lennox's intelligence, "Yes you I don't see many other humans with that ridiculous piece of fuzz on your head" he answered gruffly and paid no mind as Epps mouthed for Lennox to 'Cool It'. "Anyway who here has direct contact with your air forces?" he continued growing impatient.
Lennox finally calmed as he processed the old mech's question, it didn't take him long as Lennox turned his attention back to Jetfire and pointed behind him toward his old friend "That would be this guy here Robert Epps" making the soldier in question give a light nod and salute to the old mech.
Jetfire however in return looked at Epps with a puzzled expression but then quickly continued with his thought, "Well then young man looks like your my charge then" the Bot stated and with that statement a wave of confusion was its result as everyone in the room looked to Jetfire in disbelief especially Epps.
"Uhh say what now?" he asked lowering his arm down wondering if any of them heard him right.
"You heard me, I have the best flight experience among any of you it seems only natural that I take responsibility and help teach the humans hear about proper flight technique and strategic maneuvers that will prove more then helpful against the Decepticons" Jetfire explained in a tone that made it sound like it should be obvious. "Since you have direct communications with your Air Forces it should be simple enough to inform them and have them come here and prepare for special training under me. I also think it'd be wise if some of your soldiers had lessons in flight so that in emergencies that require airborne you will be prepared fully."
"Wait let's hold on a second here and" Lennox was about to say to defend his friend for he had heard stories about Jetfire from Sam and it looked like the bot and less to say he was a little concerned, however he didn't get the chance as Epps and Optimus both chimed in.
"I agree" they said in unison then looked at Lennox, each was curious on what the other thought but Epps was the one to explain.
"Will, this might be good for us...I didn't want to admit but whenever against the Con's there are times I worry that we'll be at a disadvantage. Considering the Flyers not only have mastered our flight patterns and maneuvers but more then likely have there own that could one day catch us off guard with Jetfire we'll be able to have an upper hand and even destroy them once and for all. Not only when it comes to the air but also on strategies that they have used in the past that they may use with us again" Epps explained then turned to Optimus. "You agree?" he asked.
Optimus in return nodded and spoke himself, "I agree fully with Epps. Jetfire you have come at a right time, especially now that more Decepticons are appearing joining in Megatron's cause. This strategy is more then needed in these grave times, I again thank you my friend."
"We all must do our part, and yes I suspected the Decepticons would slowly bring in more reinforcements...but I see you yourself have done the same" he said to the Autobot leader. "Those Decepticons won't know what hit them!" he continued slamming down his cane that he still carried onto the floor making it shake a little causing the nearby humans almost fall but most managed to keep there balance.
Jazz tried not to laugh at their friends and decided to focus on something else to keep him distracted it was then that he took a particular notice into Jetfire's cane. "Yo Jetfire if your all fixed and younger now why do you still have that cane?" he asked pointing and the giant piece of metal. At first the mech gave him a look then lifted the cane in question.
"What this?" he asked Jazz and the bot nodded waiting for an explanation there was just something about seeing a young bot with a rusty old looking cane that didn't seem right to him. "Why it's been with me for years, and the only thing that reminds me of my old body. Why wouldn't I still keep it?"
"Ok I can see it as keeping it as a memento but your young again no need for you to lug that around everywhere you go" Jazz answered reaching out to grab the cane. "Let me take a look at it maybe we can renew it or something and turn it into a weapon" he continued but just as he was about to grasp it Jetfire lifted it high over his head and smacked it down hard on the poor unsuspecting bot that was Jazz.
"Gah!" he shouted and clutched onto his helm in pain "What the frag did you do that for? Look old mech I'm just trying to help no enemy is going to take you seriously with that hunk of metal" Jazz said adding fuel to the fire and earned himself another good smack on the helm.
"My cane!" Jetfire proclaimed standing his ground, "Keep on trying to change it and I'll beat the living scrap out of ya! This is my cane and the last of my old self no one will be taking it on my watch!"
The mature and courteous thing to do would be to just let it go and let the owner do as he pleases with his belongings. However Jazz took it as a challenge and instead of leaving Jetfire be, he lunged for the cane not wanting to get beat by the old bot. And so the war begun as the two mechs started wrestling each other on the ground shouting loudly that the floor shook, but instead of being afraid for their lives at the possibility of being squished the humans remaining went into hysterics at the sight.
"Give me that old bot!"
"Little bugger give up!"
"Never! Sunny! Sides! Grab it!"
"Oh you two want a beating? Well fine then!"
"Ow! Dammit old mech give it!"
The shouts were so loud that Oracle could hear them from her room, with curiosity Oracle walked out of her room heading towards the noise wondering what was going on but the moment she joined with everyone else she was questioning whether that was the smartest thing to do. For she saw Jazz, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker trying to pin down another Bot that she hadn't seen before. Meanwhile Varsity, Maple, and Inspire were literally rolling on the floor laughing trying to breath in between there mad hysterics.
"Uhh do I even want to know?" Oracle asked gaining her friends attention though barely as they still laughed.
"Hey Oracle..." Varsity said in between laughs as she got up from the floor and managed to calm down. "Well apparently Ratchet has been fixing up Jetfire an old friend of the bots. I mean literally old he apparently was ancient and well long story short he has decided to make Epps his charge and somehow Jazz, Sides, and Sunny are fighting over the rights of his cane. All in all this is hilarious" she said and started laughing again when Jetfire managed to flip Sunstreaker off of his back.
It was then he got a good look at the human girls, he noticed them before but he didn't take a good look at them. However when his optics landed on Oracle that was when his attention was caught, quickly he managed to shake off both Sideswipe and Jazz as he came over to the girls bending down so that they were at somewhat eye level. Maple, Inspire and Varsity immediately stopped laughing as they stared at the giant mech worried that he was angry at them, Oracle stared up at Jetfire also fearful for the way he stared at them, at her, and it was if he had seen a new species.
"What's this now?" he finally spoke but it wasn't his normal demanding tone it was hushed, disbelief radiating off of his voice. "A human with a Cybertronian arm?" he asked looking at Oracle's silver metallic arm, self conscious she cradled it and looked away from the mech's optics. "Well then perhaps someone could explain to me how this is even possible?" he asked turning from the girls looking to the bots but looking to Optimus most of all. For only he could recognize the fear that both of them shared.
