darkness rising part 4
"w-what just happened?" asked jack in confusion.
"i transported them to the designated coordinates via the ground-bridge." ratchet replied.
"what's a ground bridge?" asked raf.
"(groans) a scaled down version of space bridge technology, since we dont have the means of interstellar travel like kristonal here" said ratchet with annoyance.
"your stuck here on earth" Bambi summed up the situation.
"with the likes of you yes, however i constructed the ground-bridge to travel to any place on your planet." ratchet said.
"whoa, does it work for humans and deer?" asked Bambi's girlfriend faline.
"naturally." answered ratchet.
"you mean i could just shoot on over and visit my parents in Tokyo?" miko said.
"with in moments, in fact allow me to send you there all five of you." ratchet said only for may, faline, and Miko to glare at him.
"watch it ratchet." said Miko.
"just call him doc or sunshine to annoy him, anybody annoy me though will have to get a helmet on." i jokingly said from the other side of the room. as ratchet groaned in annoyance at the nick-name i had given out.
just then the computers began showing error messages.
"(groans)" ratchet groaned in annoyance.
"how come your using human computers?" asked Rafael.
"it certainly isn't by choice we inherited this abandoned missile silo from the previous tenants, i try to make modifications as i see fit." said ratchet as more error messages popped up, causing him to growl.
"maybe i can help" said raf.
"what could you do? i mean this isn't child's play" said ratchet only for raf to tell to try again and all the error messages went away.
"RATCHET BRIDGE US BACK, US THE ARRIVAL CO-ORDINATES NOW." said optimus.
as ratchet did so the autobots and the rebels returned with arcee limping a bit.
"cutting it a bit close how bout cliffjumper?" asked ratchet.
"what was that explosion, was there a fight, can i come with next time?" asked miko.
"LOOK" snapped arcee.
"hey miko lets go see what the bots hide in there sock drawers." said jack pulling miko away.
"seriously?" asked miko in disgust.
"arcee what did you see?" asked optimus prime.
"not cliff at least not anymore, he was mutated like those con experiments during the war." arcee said as i looked closer at the purple goo and my optics widened with shock.
"BY THE ALLSPARK, IT CANNOT BE!" i yelled catching everyone's attention.
"be what?" asked optimus in confusion.
"optimus prime i hate to inform you of this but that is no ordinary goo. observe" i said as i scraped a sample off of arcee and dropped it onto my broken tool and it sprung to life before it could attack i shot it and crushed it.
"do you know what this is?" i asked him in a grave tone of voice and then i looked toward arcee. " arcee was cliff leaking this stuff? at all?" i asked her, to my horror she nodded.
"not just leaking it he was covered in it" she said.
"go take that old armor off and go take a decontamination bath and put on that new armor set i made for you with my forge." i ordered. she looked at me surprised that i had made her a new set of battle armor, she then raced to the decon chambers in the back and stripped off her old armor and when she saw what her new armor looked like she squealed in delight.
"i am afraid your assumption of that goo, is something i hadn't considered" optimus said.
"Optimus i hate to bug but no bars." said jack.
"a security precaution." said optimus, and i explained to jack why that was. "why." he asked jack.
"well if i dont call my mom she will probably have the cops looking for me." he answered the prime.
"have you broken a law?" asked optimus.
"uh curfew, its after ten pm," answered jack.
"i should get home too or i will be grounded for a year." said raf.
"and me, ronno, faline, and may have to get back to the forest or my dad will be madder than a hippo with a hernia." said Bambi, causing me to snicker.
"earth customs i hadn't considered. but your safety remains" optimus said then he looked at drift.
"drift you will look after ronno and his mate may." he said.
"i shall not fail you sensei" said drift.
"and maintain vehicle form" added optimus as he turned to bulkhead, "bulkhead you will watch over miko, vehicle form as well."
"kerbside duty gotcha" said bulkhead as miko groaned.
"bumblebee you will look after raf." optimus said.
then he looked at me and arcee as we were talking to each other and comforting each other.
"arcee and kristonal, you will both look after jack, Bambi and his mate faline." he said.
"ugh still dizzy" said arcee. and i smirked, " your funny arcee besides your fine and im your doctor, besides ratchet of course, but between you and me we could do with the guardian experience." i said causing her to smirk, as i gave her a kiss to the mouth.
"kristonal thanks for the new armor and that vehicle form to now the autobots have another flyer to add to the arsenal." she said as her new wings twitched with excitement and she had her triple changer form.
"ha-ha i knew you would like it, besides your grand sire was a seeker." i said, with a laugh, causing her to chuckle.
before the both of us transformed into our motorcycle forms we waited for jack, Bambi and faline, to climb on as we headed to jacks house first and then to the forest which was not that far from jacks place.
"listen kristonal, arcee before you to take us home we wanna say we're sorry for your loss." said jack.
i scoffed.
"what would you know of loss?" i asked.
"what you think i dont have my own problems?" asked jack.
"i am pretty sure girl trouble doesn't count." arcee said.
