Sorry that should not of taken me a month, pre-warning I couldn't fit everyone in, shame on me. But I did my best to write a good second chapter, the longest chapter I have ever write, I don't want to do that again, but I will, because I have to. Those who I couldn't get in the next chapter will be all about how you guys come in to the picture, then the one after that will be the second episode. Another pre-warning I will be going on va-ca in a little while, hopefully I will updated before that and if I don't I will write till my hands bleed to get both chapters up quicker. I also found the cure for writers block, drive or walk and you have an idea, well at least it worked for me. On with the show.
*Earlier*
"Cliff, where are you going?" Arcee asks as she walks up to Cliffjumper who was by the exit tunnel.
"Going out for a patrol." Cliffjumper answers, then transforms and leaves.
"Get back here!"
Everyone left in base turns to the med-bay as the doors flew open and Ratchet's yelling. Flameblade came running out the doors and barely ducks behind Emberflame before a wrench came flying out of med-bay flying dead straight where Flameblade was a second before.
"I think you may want to work on your aim Ratchet." Emberflame says with amusement in her voice.
"Your Emberflame right." Flameblade asks Emberflame.
"That's right, and your Flameblade…right." Emberflame says smirking
"Yep, I think Imma gonna call you Ember." Flameblade says smiling a cheerful smile.
"Then I will call you Blade." Ember says with a laugh.
"Together we are EmberBlade, with a lot of flame." Blade says smiling, both trying to hold back a laugh but fail miserable.
*Now*
Arcee then leaves the base with an eye roll and heads down the Nevada road. Later in the afternoon the sun was shining on the desert sand. In the distance Cliffjumper's red alt-mode with decorative bull horns on the hood, was speeding freely over the dust covered road.
"So there I am on the lookout when out of nowhere these high beams light up my rear views. Then it hits me; I'm illegally parked." Cliffjumper tells Arcee over the comm.
"Another parking ticket?" Arcee asks amused as she zooms down a dirt road
"Better," Cliffjumper says excitedly "the boot."
"Big metal tire clamp: impossible to remove." Arcee clarifies.
Cliffjumper continues, "Bingo! So the local police do their thing, and I let 'em get all the way down the block. That's when I kick off my new shiny shoe and BANG!"
"New York's finest soil themselves." Arcee concludes.
"You know me Arcee," Cliffjumper say a smile in his voice
"Mess with Cliffjumper-" Cliffjumper starts
"And you get the horns." Arcee finishes
"Not sure how that complies with Autobot rule number 1- Keep a low profile."
"What can I say? Patrolling for Energon out here in dullsville gets lonesome. Almost makes me miss throwing down with the Decepticons." Cliffjumper reasons.
"Like Jasper, Nevada's a party?" Arcee scoffs, " We're alone wherever we travel on this rock, Cliff'."
Suddenly, Cliffjumper's Energon detector sounds off, "I'm getting another signal."
"Need backup?" Arcee asks eagerly.
"Do I ever need backup?" Cliffjumper replies cockily, then speeds to the signal
In a large crater there were large blue stones of Energon. Cliffjumper reports, "I just found a whole lotta Energon."
Almost immediately after he says that he heard a low rumble. Up above him the Decepticon warship was coming to a stop just over the exact Energon deposit he was at. Suddenly, Cliffjumper transforms into his bot-mode.
"Decepticons." Cliffjumper reports. A turret on the colossal ship took aim and fires off a few shots before hitting Cliffjumper and blasting him into the crater. As he pushes himself up, one after another vehicons land until there were nine standing at the edge of the crater.
"Arcee," Cliffjumper says, "about that backup." After a moment of staring at the 'Cons, Cliffjumper warns cockily, "Fair warning boys: I'll put a few dings in ya."
He transforms back into his vehicle mode and drove right up the side of the crater high into the air. He transforms again in midair and slams down on the Decepticons.
*Base*
Arcee called out, "Arcee to Base: the 'Cons are back again. Cliff' might be neck deep in scrap."
Back at base everyone gathers around the monitors to hear the situation, Optimus replies "Understood" he then turns to Ratchet "Do you have Cliffjumper's coordinates?"
Ratchet turns from the monitor "I'm locked on his signal Optimus, but the Ground-Bridge is having some problems starting up, it will take a few moments more."
"Arcee return to base." Optimus orders as they wait for the bridge.
*Back with Cliffjumper*
A vehicon flew over the lip of the crater onto the floor. Cliffjumper caught another in the face with an uppercut, only to be hit in the back of his helm, pushed forward, and kicked over the side of the crater. As he fell he felt one of his horns snap off. He bounced off the ground and sprang to his Peds.
Still as cocky as usual, Cliffjumper playfully says "You want the horns? You got 'em" Cliffjumper then drew his blasters and fires on the vehicons.
He got one out of the game before his adversaries start firing on him. He dodges all their fire, but a stray blast ignited the Energon, throwing him forward. As the vehicons were starting to drag him off, the two that were holding his arms lose their helms. The others look to the source of the blasts to see two Mechs that look the same but one is yellow the other is silver. The two gave them twining smirks as their blasters have trails of smoke flowing from the barrels. Then another two go down, and behind them is a femme. The two cannons on her arms are smoking also, she smirks a smirk that twins the twins as she stands with her cannons still aimed at the vehicons.
"Mess with a teammate and you get the team." The femme says confidently with a smirks. Then the vehicons attack but easily are taken out by the three rescuers.
"We should probably comm. The others." The silver twin says kneeling by Cliffjumper's unconscious form.
"I already tried, Sides, the cons are still jamming us." The femme informs her brother.
"Nitro's right, I can't get a signal through." The yellow twin growls in frustration.
"Well now what Sunny?" Nitro asks the yellow Mech.
"Now we move before more cons show." Sunstreaker says as he and Sideswipe each put one of Cliffjumper's arms over their shoulders and they run off with Nitroplug behind them after she grabs the fallen horn. As they are running Nitroplug is trying to contact Autobot help.
"Come in. This is Nitroplug can anybot read me." Nitro says with an open comm.
"This is Pinkninja, what can I do for you Nitroplug." Pinkninja answers from a road just north of the small group.
Pinkninja is currently in her alt-mode, which is a pink Honda Elantria. She is driving behind a black and gold police motorcycle, and behind her is a silver Pontiac Solstice.
"We have a bot down just off the main road heading out of Jasper, Nevada." Nitro informs as her and her adopted brothers stop and gentle put Cliffjumper down.
"You're in luck we're already heading in your direction." Pinkninja says as the three put it into high gear.
*Autobot base*
"Optimus, Cliffjumper's signal has moved south of the Energon mine" Ratchet informs Optimus.
"That's not like Cliff to retreat." Arcee says as she pulls in.
"That's not all, there are three Autobot signals surrounding him and three more closing in on the group." Ratchet says shocking the others then the alarm sounds. "There are cons closing in on the seven Autobots."
"Then what are we waiting for." Blade says impatiently.
"Ratchet open the ground-bridge, Autobots roll out." Optimus commands, the bridge opens and all the bots drive through, then Blade blasts through the bridge.
*with the others*
Pinkninja, Jazz, and Prowl just drove up and transforms by Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Nitroplug and Cliffjumper when the ground-bridge opens and out comes all the bots alt-modes and then the jet. They then transform and Arcee quickly goes to Cliffjumper. Then three generals and twenty Eradicons land in front of the Autobots.
Out of the three generals one is a femme the other two are Mechs, but they all have glowing red optics. The biggest Mech has dark red and black armor; he stands just at Megatron's shoulders. The femme has purple and black armor, she stand at the same height as Starscream. The third and final Mech has deep black armor with three scarlet claw marks on his shoulder plating, hip plating and from the right of his helm to the bottom of the left cheek, and he's as tall as Optimus's chin.
"Look what we have here, Autoscum." The highest ranking Mech says as he pulls his cannons.
"Whatever Decepticreeps." Arcee growled standing over Cliffjumper.
"I get the femmes, Deathclaw you can have the twin idiots." The Femme says to the Black and Scarlet SIC of the mission.
"Alright Heartbreaker, you may have it your way…this time." Deathclaw says smirking as he gets his blasters out and Heartbreaker pulls her knifes. "I'm guess you're going with your father's vendetta, Blackstorm." Deathclaw says to the leader of the group.
"That is correct." Blackstorm says coldly, and then signals for the charge.
As the Eradicons charged at all the Autobots, Blackstorm tackled Optimus into the cliff-face. Optimus then kicked the Decepticon off of him and shot the Eradicon that was about to finish Cliffjumper, that giving Blackstorm enough time to get up. Blackstorm then swung his fist at Optimus, who dodged and swung back.
As those two clashed, Deathclaw crash tackled Sunstreaker, purposely scratching his paint. Sideswipe then tackled Deathclaw. The Decepticon at that time activated the three claws on his right fist, stabbing then into Sideswipes left hip joint. Then kicking Sideswipe precisely on the hip, as he pushed him off. Deathclaw jumped up as the battle paused for a moment as Sideswipe screamed in pain on the ground. Enraged Nitroplug quickly shot the Eradicon she was fighting in the helm, and then she and Sunstreaker drive Deathclaw into the cliff-face.
The fight then continued as Heartbreaker took a swing at Emberflame as she was looking at Sideswipe, but was blocked be one of Flameblade's swords. As the clash above her chest rang Emberflame turned back to the fight. Her and Flameblade have been fighting Heartbreaker the entire fight and haven't had any leeway. To say the two were tired would be an understatement, the Decepticon was good, but there was one of her and two of them.
Pinkninja, Prowl and Jazz were taking down Eradicons left and right. Pinkninja and Prowl were using their martial arts to take out two thirds of the Eradicons, as Jazz used his crescent-shaped photon blaster to send the other third to the Well-of-Allsparks.
Bumblebee and Bulkhead were backed into the cliff-face surrounded be Eradicons, when they were all blasted to oblivion. In front of the cornered bots was a white Mech. Beside the White Mech was a Femme that was red. They both have out their blaster, which are smoking, and smirks on their faces.
Arcee was protecting Cliffjumper from the Eradicons when a stray shot caught her left shoulder rendering it useless. The last Eradicon was about to finish the job when his helm flew off, his body tumbles to the ground and behind him was a bot she never thought she would see.
Blackstorm knocked Optimus to the ground, charging his cannons when a pink and dark blue Peterbilt Semi-truck rammed into his side. The Semi transformed into a femme similar to Optimus. Blackstorm got up and saw all the Eradicons dead and his fellow generals severely hurt. Deathclaw was leaking Energon from his left shoulder and there was huge gash in his abdomen and he was covered in blaster burns. Heartbreaker wasn't any better, parts of her armor were severely burnt and the parts of armor that wasn't burnt or broken was sliced from multiple sword cuts.
"Decepticons retreat." Blackstorm orders irritated at their defeat. The other two look at him then nod before the transform into their jet modes and fly off, back to their ship.
"This isn't over prime." Blackstorm spit the name out like poison, and then transformed and followed his teammates. The Autobots stood there for a second watching before the silence was interrupted by Sunstreaker.
"Optimus, Sideswipe needs to see Ratchet." Sunstreaker informs with worried glance to his brother.
"*Ratchet open the ground-bridge and prepare the med-bay*" Optimus commed Ratchet.
"*Ready, and the bridge is open*" Ratchet comms back.
"Autobots return to base." Optimus orders. Sunstreaker runs through the ground-bridge carrying Sideswipe with Nitroplug by his side. The others followed, some leaning on some other for support.
"Ratchet!" Sunstreaker hollers as he runs through the ground-bridge. Ratchet looks up with shock at hearing Sunstreaker's voice, but quickly steps into action when he sees Sideswipes condition.
"Put him on the berth." Ratchet orders as he got his tools. The others come through and Emberblade shut off the ground-bridge. Arcee was leaning on a black armored Mech as they follow Bulkhead, who was carrying Cliffjumper. Optimus was leaning on the pink and dark blue femme. Pinkninja was clinging onto Flameblade neck-cables. At the very back were the red Femme and the white and blue Mech. The white and blue Mech started helping with repairs as Optimus studied his new teammates.
The first one he studies was the femme that was with the Terror Twins. This femme is small in height and frame. She has a shiny orange paint with black accents to cover her armor that patches her legs, arms, chest and helm. Bright blue optics that rival with Bumblebee, she has both tires attached to her shoulder and two cannons that look like Ironhide's are welded to her forearms.
Then there's the Femme that's with Prowl and Jazz. She has a pink visor on that matches her armor. Her clawed Servos and Peds are purple to her knees and elbows and her wings have pink hearts on the bottom to the middle. Her chest plate however has pink on one side and the other is purple. Her faceplate is a light pink with the rest of the armor being a regular pink.
Next was the Mech helping Arcee, he resembles somewhat of Arcee but his color armor is black and he's between the height of bumblebee and Jazz. He has one red eye and one blue eye. He also was wearing a cloak that was full of holes and cuts that covers only his torso.
Lastly was his daughter with pink and dark blue armor, looks similar to himself, but has the feminine look from her carrier. She was talking with Emberblade, Flameblade, and another femme. The other femme was predominantly red, with pink, silver and light blue highlights. She has doorwings, with wheels on her back beneath them. Two more wheels in her Pedes, which have high heels. She also has a blue forehead chevron, and red lips.
"What are your designations?" Optimus asks as Ratchet and the white and blue Mech finish all the repairs. With Cliffjumper in recharge on one of the berths.
"I'm Nitroplug." The Femme by the Terror Twins says loud and proud with one arm over each one of her twin brothers shoulders.
"Pinkninja." The very pink Femme says quietly.
"Darksplicer sir." The black Mech standing at attention for a split second, before returning to helping Arcee.
"Delta Prime." As soon as the red Femme says this everyone looks at her shock except the white Mech she arrived with. "And that's Rusty." She introduces the busy Mech.
"Starfire." Optimus's daughter says for those who don't know.
"I'm Flameblade, and this kick'n femme is Emberblade." Blade says pull Ember into a soft noogie, both smiling. As soon as she is let go Ember gentle pushes Blade, as everyone chuckles with the two.
*Decepticon Ship*
Up on the bridge of the Decepticon warship, Starscream watched the three generals fly back to the ship alone.
"The Energon is worthless to me now." He growls
The door to the bridge open to reveal the three best soldiers the Decepticons have defeated and bloody.
"I thought I ordered you to destroy the Autobots." Starscream growls.
"Easier said than done." Heartbreaker mumbles to herself.
"Lord Megatron might not be here, but you must still follow his wishes." Blackstorm growls back.
"Oh, and what might that be?" Starscream asks sarcastically.
"That you shut your trap, get your helm out of your aft, and let the better, stronger Mech take charge." Deathclaw growls at Starscream.
"And who's better than me?" Starscream asks egotistically, and everyone rolled their optics.
"Besides everyone in the universe." Heartbreaker says smirking, and Blackstorm laughs with his arms crossed over his chest.
"More precisely we're talking about Megatron's heir, Blackstorm, you twit." Deathclaw growls with an optic roll.
"Blackstorm maybe Megatron's heir, but you're not so you show me respect." Starscream snarls at Deathclaw, who rolls his optics again.
"No, you will show my brother respect." Blackstorm demands staking up to Starscream.
"B-but, you aren't even r-related." Starscream stutters as he backs up.
"We were raised together which is enough for me." Blackstorm sneers as he backs Starscream into a corner, with Heartbreaker and Deathclaw laughing at the cowardly Seeker.
Soundwave then approached the two quarreling Cybertronians, and Blackstorm backed off to let the visored Mech speak.
"What is it Soundwave?" Blackstorm asked a lot calmer then he just was.
"^Like Jasper, Nevada's a party? We're alone wherever we travel on this rock, 'Cliff'^" he replays.
"Ah, the one called Arcee." Starscream identifies
"Send two Vehicons while we have the advantage of surprise." He orders.
"They know we're here it won't really be a surprise attack." Heartbreaker informs them with 'Are you really that stupid' face.
"I agree with both of you, surprisingly, we should attack, but we should be cautious as well." Deathclaw says with an air of wisdom for his age.
*Jasper*
In the small town off Jasper, Nevada, a boy named Jack Darby worked a drive through.
"Come again." he called after his last customer. A new ding sounded, signaling the arrival of a new customer.
"Welcome to KO Drive-in, where every patty's a knockout. May I take your order?"
"Uh, two super combos and extra fries." someone ordered.
"Okay, dos numero twos. Anything else?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, some advice." the person started, "How do I get an awesome job like yours?" The person and, by the sound of it, another person in the car with him started laughing.
"So that's two 'We're not as Funny as we Think we Are' combos with a side of 'Bite Me'." Jack shot back. (Love that line)
The guy's laughter stopped short, "What'd you say?"
"$5.59, sir, at the window." Jack spat. When his back was turned, the guy's car pulled up and took the order. He was alerted by their laughter that something was up. As he turned around he saw the car pull away.
"Hey!" he yelled, "I have to pay for that." he lamented lightly.
"Jack how many times have I told you not to turn your back to the window." Jack turns to see one of his work buddy's. She hasblack hair and brown eyes. She wears a black jacket pink shirt, black pants and black sneakers. She also had one of her famous smirks on.
"And how many times have I told you, Aimee that I know." Jack sighs.
"Whatever, by the way, that was a pretty good come back." Aimee says turning around and heading back to her station.
*Road*
As Arcee and Darksplicer approached the city limits, they activated they're holoform. Two Vehicons pulled up behind them.
"Twins." They commented at the same time. They sped up and pulled up to the drive-in and saw the Vehicons pass the old building. "Take five, Sadie." Arcee said to herself, she then deactivates her holoform and they deployed they're kickstands.
Jack and Aimee walk out of the fast-food venue and Jack cellphone started ringing.
"Hey mom." he said, "I just got off. No, I'm not going to the dance. Experience suggests I should never cut a rug. Unless I'm installing carpet. Be careful; seriously? This is Jasper." Just then he caught sight of Arcee and Darksplicer in their motorcycle forms.
"I love you." he slipped out. "Uh, yeah. I love you too mom. Gotta run." he finished hurriedly, and Aimee laughs at him.
"Hello beautiful." he said, "Where have you been all my life?" He ran his hands over the seat.
"Nice." He mounted the motorcycle, "It may take a few KO paychecks, but I am going to own a ride like you someday."
"Are you talking to your motorcycle?" a girl named Sierra and her friend snickered.
"Uh, my motorcycle? No! I mean, yes, it's mine. But I'm not talking to... well to Aimee, I am. How's things, Sierra?" he stuttered, as Aimee gets on Arcee.
"Take you for a spin sometime?"
"Come on, Wrap it up." Darksplicer said to himself, seeing the Vehicons they had avoided earlier approaching. None of the humans noticed though.
"You know my name?" Sierra questioned.
"We're in homeroom together." Jack reasoned, "I'm Jack. Jack Darby." Just then the two Vehicons' engines revved loudly.
"Scrap." Arcee deadpanned. The cars sped forward. Sierra and her friend squealed and scattered away. Arcee popped a wheelie, turned around, and sped off.
"Whoa!" Jack screamed as Darksplicer followed Arcee. Arcee squeezed through a small gap between the Vehicons. The two turned around and pursued her, Aimee, Darksplicer, and Jack. "Do not let go." she said to Aimee.
"I won't Arcee." Aimee says trusting the Autobot with her life.
"Hang on!" Darksplicer warns as he catches up to Arcee.
"Who said that?" Jack says frightenedly, The Decepticons pulled up and made to trap the two Autobots. The Autobots braked and the Vehicons bump into each other, and Aimee laughs lightly. When they pulled apart the Autobots sped ahead of them and turned off into an alley.
One of the Vehicons reported to Starscream, "*Commander Starscream: targets sighted, accompanied by two human youths.*"
"*Destroy them all!*" Starscream commanded.
Arcee pulled a U-ey and let Aimee off, as Jack nearly fell off of Darksplicer.
"What are you?" Jack asks, as Aimee stands beside him.
"We don't exist. Tell anyone about us and I will hunt you down."Arcee threatened.
Jack ran off into another alleyway, with Aimee following. Arcee and Darksplicer turned around and drove off just as the Vehicons were coming up. In her rearview mirror, she saw one of them pull into the alley Jack and Aimee went down.
"Scrap!" she cursed. She pulled another U-ey and jumped over the second Vehicon.
"What's with you and getting in trouble today." Darksplicer jokes as he joins in the chase.
Off the side of the freeway, a boy named Rafael (or Raf) was playing with his remote control car. He was racing his two younger friends as their older sister watches. Their older sister, Kat Echo, is in his class, when they met she was shy, always wearing sunglasses, she still does. They became good friends and she introduced him to ShadowMaru and ShadowRaid, strange names, but they're cool.
ShadowKat, which is what Kat likes to be called, wears black jeans, gray T-shirt, and black lace less slip on sneakers. Her hair is straight and goes to her waist. Her hair color is brown with natural blond highlights. ShadowMaru has pale skin, eye color changes, mostly hazel, short dirty blond hair, air force t-shirt, shorts, blue sneakers with neon yellow laces. ShadowRaid wears a white & blue striped T-shirt, blue jean shorts, and flip-flops. Brown eyes, dark brown hair, tan skin.
Jack was running through the alley with Aimee when they hear a car's engine coming close. "I don't even know them!" he yelled back at the Decepticon. Just then Arcee drove over the Decepticon and matched Aimee's pace as Darksplicer matched Jack's pace. "Hop on!" they both yell. Jack and Aimee jump onto the seats and the Autobots sped off.
"Whoa!" Jack screamed again and Aimee laughed. Arcee pulled onto the highway with Darksplicer following. The Vehicons drew their weapons and started shooting at the four of them. The Autobots dodged the blasts and Jack covered his head.
"Why are those guys shooting at us?" he asked, sounding panicked. "There's no us kid." Darksplicer said sharply, "And they're no guys." They saw Bumblebee and a purple Jaguar pull up in their rearview mirrors. The back-up ram into a Vehicon, each and sent both 'Cons spinning out of control.
"Friends of yours?" Jack asked.
"Family." Arcee replied. She saw the Decepticons close in on Bumblebee and the Jaguar. They were doing their best to block them, but one slipped next to Bumblebee and pushed him into a guardrail.
Raf and the other started a new race with the remote controlled cars. When Raf's phone rang. "Hi momma." he said, "Racing. Right up the street. 'Kay, just five more minutes?" He hung up the phone and continued to race with the little cars.
Arcee was looking for a safe place to leave Jack and Aimee. There was a roadblock up ahead. She jumped over the side barrier, with Darksplicer following, rode down the shoulder, and landed under the bridge. When the motorcycles passed overhead noisily, everyone stopped. Raf and the others watch in awe as Arcee and Darksplicer stuck the landings and swerved to a stop.
"Whoa." they said at the same time.
"You have no idea." Jack said shakily, and climbed off Darksplicer and Aimee got off of Arcee. The Decepticons appeared at the top of the shoulder. They rode down it and transformed in front of them.
"We're dead." ShadowMaru and ShadowRaid deadpan. Arcee and Darksplicer transformed behind them, "This ends here 'Cons." They ran at them. "Less dead." ShadowKat revised her Bro's previous statement and runs off with the others.
Arcee and Darksplicer dodge the Vehicons blaster fire. Arcee jumped up and kicked one in the chest, taking it down. Darksplicer dodges a shot from the other one, then kicked him in the face, taking it down as the humans watch the Autobots and the Vehicons battle in awe.
"What are they?" Raf asked.
"Talking cars that turn into robots." Jack answered.
"Other way around." Aimee stated.
"How do you know?" ShadowKat asks.
"They took me in when I was younger." Aimee answers watching the battle.
Arcee kicked and punched the first Vehicon in the gut, then punched it in the face four times, "This. Is. For. 'Cliff." The 'Con looked at her and its optics glowed brighter. Arcee started doing handsprings backward to avoid his blaster fire. She was almost back to the place she started when she took a round to the chest and slid across the concrete with a nails-on-blackboard sound that made the kids wince.
Bumblebee and the Jaguar jump off the bridge, transform in midair, and Bumblebee landed on the second Decepticon, and Blade lands beside Arcee. Bumblebee landed a huge punch on the first 'Con's face. Arcee huffed and pushed herself up off the ground, with Blades help. Bumblebee put pressure on the first Vehicons head in a "don't get up" kind of way and stepped back. A crunch under his foot caught his attention. He lifted up his foot to reveal the crushed remains of Raf's toy car. He looked at Raf and let out a mechanical whine sounding thing.
"No problem, really." Raf assured him. Just then, the first Vehicon shot him, blasting him back many yards. He started to get up when it held him down with its foot. Both of the Decepticons were about to blow him away when Raf yelled, "Leave him alone!".
The 'Cons only ended up turning their guns on the humans. Raf gulped, "Please?" Jack leaned down, "Bad call." One of the Decepticons started towards them. Blade shoves the Vehicon away from the humans
"Back off." Blade growls drawing her swords.
"Come on. I found a way out." ShadowMaru calls and the others fled from the giant robot. The second one was gaining. "Come on!" ShadowRaid called from a storm drain. The two sped down the drain a ways and looked back at the others. They all had jumped in and were running for their lives. The second Vehicons hand was coming for them fast. "Come on guys! Keep moving!" Aimee called. Just as it was about to grab them, it quickly pulled out. There were two loud crashes and Bumblebee's head looked down the hole.
He beeped quickly. "Thank you!" Raf called. Bumblebee whirred and got up.
"Don't look back." Jack said.
"What did we just see?" Raf asked.
"No idea, and I'm not sure I wanna find out." Jack said. They caught up to the two nine year olds and they left the scene safely.
Bumblebee punched the second Vehicon in the face. The first one elbowed him in the base of the skull and kicked him back to where Arcee was just coming back into the fight. He landed at her feet and she quickly bent down the help him, as Darksplicer and Blade were backing up to regroup. The 'Cons were quickly getting to them. Arcee was helping Bumblebee up. He saw them and got into a battle stance. He was obviously worn down. Just in time, Bulkhead pulled up behind them and transformed into his much larger true form.
"Who's ready to rumble?" he asked threateningly. The Vehicons transformed and fled. Bumblebee exchanged his battle stance for an exhausted one.
"What took you?" Arcee asked.
"Traffic." Bulkhead deadpanned.
"Ha." Blade laughed "I got to remember that one, next time I don't want to do something."
Back at the Autobot base Arcee, Darksplicer and Bumblebee were giving a report, as Blade stood by Ember. "And the 'Cons would have been scrap metal if I hadn't been distracted by the humans." she reported.
"Humans?" Optimus asked. Bumblebee whirred.
"Four boys, two girls." Optimus said.
"We picked up Aimee and she brought a friend." Darksplicer says rolling his Optics.
"I guess the other four caught us in action. I don't know. Was a little busy at the time." Arcee said defensively.
"If the Decepticons are targeting us, anyone perceived as our ally will be a grave risk." Optimus predicted.
*School…Yuck*
The next day after school, Jack approached Raf, ShadowRaid, ShadowMaru, ShadowKat and Aimee, "Guys, hey. Look, let's just keep this between us and forget anything ever happened okay?"
Aimee laughs, "Can't forget people I live with…sorry"
A beep interrupted their conversation. Raf gasped, "Jack." Bumblebee pulled up to them, with Blade and Darksplicer.
"Oh, not again." Jack said. The passenger side door opened and Bumblebee whirred.
"It wants us to get in." Jack observed. "No. Just me." Raf observed.
"How do you know that?" Jack asked.
"It said so." Raf said in a "duh" kind of way.
"What?" Jack said, flabbergasted.
"Yours is over there." Raf said, pointing out Arcee. "And you guys are riding in the Jaguar, and Aimee gets the other motorcycle."
"Look, I really don't think that-" Jack started.
The others didn't pay attention. "How's it going?" Raf asked, climbing into the front passenger seat and the door closed. The Jaguar pulls up closer.
"You heard the kid, get in the three of you." Blade says opening her back doors and her passenger door. ShadowKat got in the front as the Bro Force got in the back. Aimee ran over to Darksplicer and got on.
"Guys?" Jack said. The Autobots sped off. "Wait! Stop!" Jack yelled.
On the wall in front of the school, a girl named Miko was sketching Arcee in her motorcycle form. "Coolest bike ever." she commented. Her cellphone rang. "Host parents?" she observed, "Ignore." When she looked up, Arcee was gone. She saw Arcee and her holoform on the road behind her. She got up and ran after her.
Arcee pulled ahead of Jack and stopped, "Relax, I just want to talk to you."
"Don't you mean you and your new friend?" Jack asked, referring to the holoform.
"Kid, there's a lot you don't understand." Arcee said, deactivating her holoform.
"No, I get it. The first rule of robot fight club is: you don't talk about robot fight club. What you need to understand is that I don't want a bunch of crazy talking vehicles following me around trying to get me killed." he ranted. Arcee transformed behind him.
"Look," Arcee said forcefully, "Jack, is it? Your personal safety is exactly why Optimus Prime has requested your presence."
"Wait, Optimus who?" Jack asked.
"You may be in danger because you are one of the few, one of the only that have ever seen us." she explained.
"Dude!" Miko yelled excitedly, "What are you waiting for? Go with!"
"Scrap." Arcee deadpanned.
Almost to the Autobot base, Jack asked, "And why exactly are we taking her?"
"Rules." Arcee said.
In front of the base Arcee drove off the road and a large slab of stone, but it moved, revealing a metal door, which opened. Bumblebee, Blade, Darksplicer and Arcee pulled into the main room slowly. All four humans couldn't take their eyes off of Ratchet, Bulkhead, Emberflame, Starfire, Rusty, Pinkninja, Prowl, Jazz, Nitroplug, The Terror Twins, and the two bots lying on the Medical Berths.
"I thought there were six." Ratchet commented.
"Haven't you heard? Humans multiply." Arcee said snidely.
"I'm Raf." Raf introduced himself.
"I'm Miko." Miko said, running up to Bulkhead, "Who are you?"
"Bulkhead." Bulkhead said slowly.
"Are you a car? I bet you're a truck, a monster truck! Do you like heavy metal? How much do you weigh? Ever use a wrecking ball for a punching bag?" she spewed.
"If you guys are robots, who made you?" Raf asked. Aimee looked at him like he was crazy.
"Puh-lease." Ratchet groaned.
Optimus walked up behind them with Delta Prime. The Bro Force turned white at how tall he is and a little "meep" slipped out of them both.
"We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the planet Cybertron. Also known as AutoBots." he explained.
"Why are you here?" ShadowKat asks.
"To protect your planet from the Decepticons." Delta answers.
"The jokers who tried to bump us off last night." Arcee clarifies.
"That turned around fast." Blade jokes and smiles down at the humans.
"Okay, why are they here?" Jack asked.
Optimus leaned down to the human's eye level. "A fair question Jack. In part, they are here because our planet is uninhabitable; ravaged by centuries of civil war." Optimus said.
"Why were you fighting a war?" Raf asked.
"Foremost, over control of out world's supply of energon, the lifeblood of all AutoBots and Decepticons alike." Delta says. The Primes took on a strange look like they were remembering something bad.
"The combat was fierce, and endured for centuries. In the beginning, I fought alongside one I considered a brother. But in war, ideals can be corrupted. And it was thus that Megatron lost his way." Optimus told the seven humans.
Jack, ShadowKat and Raf looked amazed and a little worried, Miko looked bored, The Bro Force looked exited to see more giant robot fights and Aimee held a sad look because she heard the story before, but it still affects her.
Miko yawned, "Is there going to be a quiz?"
Blade and Ember face palmed, which was exactly what Optimus had felt like doing. Jack and Raf were looking at her weird, along with the Bro Force.
Jack regained his composure, "So what does Megatron, or any of this, have to do with us?"
"Megatron has not been seen or heard from in some time. But if his return is imminent, as I fear, it could be catastrophic." Optimus predicted.
*Decepticon ship*
On the Decepticon warship, Soundwave relayed transmissions to Starscream. "Those transmissions are emanating from deep space." Starscream said,
"I would hate to waste the energon, unless you are absolutely certain." Soundwave nodded.
"Then lock on transmission coordinates and activate the spacebridge." Starscream ordered.
At the Decepticon spacebridge, a futuristic looking spaceship came through. It transformed into a large silver mech.
"Decepticons!" Megatron yelled, "I have returned"
