*Before I start I just want to apologize for the mistakes I made in the last chapter! I promise to make sure I proofread my chapters better and make them less confusing! So with that said, time to move on with the story…*
Chapter 2: Explanations
Early Morning:
Trying to sleep through the night was a challenge itself because every time I would close my eyes I kept seeing the battle between the robots over and over again. Finally I got tired of trying to sleep and went to go make breakfast since I was basically wide awake, but then I saw a peculiar sight in the kitchen. It didn't surprise me to see who it was in the kitchen this early in the morning and frankly I didn't blame him so I went up to him, "Morning Jack." He turned towards me not the least bit startled and merely said, "More like early morning." I made a small laugh at that and asked, "Couldn't sleep either huh?" Jack nodded his head and I can see it in his eyes he dreamed of the same thing I did. "You know we can still talk about what happened yesterday if that'll make you feel better. I'm all ears here." I said with a hint of encouragement. Jack just looked at me and said, "No I'm fine. I'd rather not relive the events that happened yesterday if that's okay with you." I nodded in agreement because I didn't want to push it since he was already getting agitated. The rest of the morning went on in silence and we headed off to school and for once in my life I wasn't ready for the weekend at all…
After School:
The school day seemed to drag on forever and I hardly paid attention in class. Normally I'm a good listener, but today I was just too distracted. "RING!" There goes the school bell and I sped out the door faster than Miko does to meet up with Jack in the hallways since we go home together on Fridays, but then I saw something out the window I never expected; the motorcycle! I yank Jack by the shoulders and pulled him to the window and before he could protest I shouted, "Look!" He turned to face the window and let out a gasp and looked at me with a worried expression, "What is she doing here?" "I don't know Jack, but I had a feeling they would come looking for us again!" I said in a slightly worried voice. Jack then pulled me to the door and whispered, "Just ignore her and she'll probably leave us alone okay?" I shook my head yes, but deep down I wondered what she wanted and why she came back. Both of us walked out the door and past the motorcycle and we were about to leave, when Raf waved at us, so we obediently went over to him. "Hey Raf! Look let's put this behind us and forget what happened yesterday alright?" Jack and I finished but before Raf could respond, the yellow camaro came up to us while beeping and Raf said, "It just wants me to go with him and that you two's ride is over there!" He finished and got in the car before we could stop him. Jack looked at me and then at the motorcycle then walked in the opposite direction of the bike. I followed closely behind him and said, "Come on Jack! Why can't you give her a chance to explain?" He didn't respond and I was about to say something when I heard a roar of an engine come up behind us and circled to face us. "Relax I just want to talk to you two." She said in calm voice. "See Jack what did I tell you!" He ignored me and said "Don't you mean you and your new friend!" "Kid there is a lot you don't understand."She explained to him after his outburst. "We get that there isn't a lot that we don't understand, but robot fights like we saw yesterday aren't exactly going to make us any less tense anytime soon." I said with a slightly irritated voice and we started to walk away. "Look Jack and Jordyn right? You two's personal safety is exactly why Optimus Prime requested both of your presences!" She stated as she transformed behind us. "Wait Optimus who?" Jack asked confused. "You two might be in danger because you two are the few and only ones to ever see us!" She finished and before Jack and I could respond, a voice behind us and said "Dudes what are you waiting for go with!"Miko exclaimed in an urgent voice. "Scrap!" the motorcycle muttered. And next thing I knew Jack, Miko and I were on the road following behind the camaro and Jack asked, "And why are we taking her?" The bike merely answered "Rules!" "So can we at least know what your name is?" I asked curiously and she answered, "My name is Arcee." Arcee, wow that's different, but also unique too. We were coming up to an intersection and she drove off the road and into a stone structure, and it looked like we were going to crash, but all we did was drive into a tunnel inside the stone structure. Arcee slowed down once we got into an enormous room with two other giant robots staring down at us…
Inside the Base/Meeting the Autobots:
Okay I've seen weird stuff before, but this just tips the scale all the way over. When Arcee stopped and dropped us all off, we just stared in awe at the other two robots in the room. "I thought there were only three of them?" the orange and white robot questioned and Arcee replied sarcastically, "Haven't you heard humans multiply." I was about to say something when Raf introduced himself to Miko, but she ignored him and ran to the large green robot and said, "I'm Miko! Who are you?" He looked surprised and said, "Bulkhead." Then Miko proceeded to play twenty questions with him and he looked a bit startled so I decided to intervene. "Sorry she tends to get overly excited when she meets somebody new!" I said as I was pushing Miko away and Raf finally asked, "So if your robots then who made you?" They all looked at him strangely, but the orange bot spoke up,"Puh-leez!" He said in a rude tone of voice. I was about to snap back at him, when large footsteps came toward us and stopped in front of us. I looked up at the blue, grey, and red bot in awe and made a guess that this is Optimus Prime. He looked down at us and began to explain, "We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the planet Cybertron also known as Autobots." Curiosity getting the best of us Jack and I asked, "Why are you here?" He then explains, "To protect your planet from the Decepticons." 'Who are they?' I thought to myself. "The jokers that tried to bump us off last night." Arcee cleared up for us. Jack then asked, "Okay why are they here?" and Optimus knelt down closer to us since he was like 30 feet tall and said, "A fair question Jack. In part they are here because our planet is uninhabitable, ravage by centuries of civil war." Raf then asked in a timid voice, "Why were you fighting a war?" Optimus then explained, "Foremost for your world's supply of Energon, the lifeblood of all Autobots and Decepticons alike. The Decepticon leader Megatron is ruthless and will no doubt return to come looking for the Energon as well and will stop at nothing to get it." The history of these beings was fascinating to me and I wanted to know more, but then Jack asked, "What does that have to do with us four?" "I sent Bumblebee and Arcee to bring you here because I fear that since the Decepticons saw you with them, that they will not hesitate to come after you believing that all of you as our potential allies." Optimus finished in a serious tone. After he said that we were all silent and I knew that there was more to come our way and how did I know that? Optimus tone of voice at the end of that last statement sent a warning sign into my mind and then I asked myself, "What in the world did we just get into?"
Well there you have it! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! In the next chapter we'll see how the kids react to news of a fallen comrade of the Autobots and they will discover something about the Autobots they never expected. Please read and review! See ya later!
