"Sure thing buddy, right after you eat my star sparkle shorts." Fowler says, after Starscream asks him about the Autobot base again. He growls and activates the 'prod', the end of it starts glowing a purplish color. The Con slowly brings the prod closer to Fowlers stomach before briefly holding it there, causing Fowler to cry out in pain.
"As I imagined, energon and human's nervous systems don't mix." The Con says to himself as he moves the prod that it's a few inches away from Fowler. While Fowler is gasping for breath with a face full of pain the Con starts talking to him. "My dear Agent Fowler, you do realize the Autobots have abandoned you two?" The Con chuckles, "I am the only one you can rely upon now."
I snort, he looks towards me. "What is wrong fleshy!" He sneers, my gaze doesn't faultier.
"We don't even know who you are." I say, he smirks. "I am Lord Starscream, Leader of the Decepticons." Starscream says, obviously proud.
'I thought that was Megatron.'' I thought, he growls. I hadn't realized that I had said that outlaid. Starscream turns back to Fowler.
"So, tell me what I what to know or…" Starscream trails off and brings the probe closer to Fowler, activating it. Fowler becomes distressed and tries to move away from it.
"Please, no more. There in… Secret government base." I look away, not wanting to see Fowler give away the location.
"Go on." Starscream says. Outside we hear the sounds of a battle happening. I feel hope rising in my chest. Starscream looks at the door before turning back to Fowler who looks pretty happy as well. "Yes…" Starscream says, trailing off.
"In the old still-mill." I smirk at Fowler's answer. "Or was it under that carnival fun house." Starscream becomes angry with Fowler and stabs him with the prob. Successfully knocking him out cold. Starscream turns around to the other two bots in the room.
"Someone, find out what is going on out there!" He snaps. The two bots leave, the sound the battle was getting closer and Starscream was getting antsy. "You! Femme!" I look over to Starscream. "Where is the Autobot Base?"
"Like I would tell you!" I shot back. Starscream growls. Suddenly the door opens and Bulkhead and Bee rush in with their guns aiming at Starscream. Starscream quickly aims his his guns and Fowler and I.
"Not so fast." He says, powering up his guns. I then notice Arcee on top of the roof when she taps Starscream's head with her gun.
He looks up, "I wouldn't." She says.
Starscream smirks as he replies, "Oh… But I might." It became quiet before Starscream starts talking again. "Now, Agent Fowler, the human femme and I will take our leave."
"The evil says 'YEAH!'" Fowler randomly says. Me and Starscream stares at him. Bee shoots at Starscream while he is distracted. Starscream shrieks and jumps out of the way. Starscream jumps and transforms into a jet, which takes off through the door. Bulkhead moves towards Fowler while Bee helps me.
"Thanks Bee." I say, relieved to be out of the cage.
'Your welcome!' He placed me on the ground and transforms. I help Bulkhead put Fowler into Bee's back seat before hoping in after. We speed out of the room and into the hallway. A few doors down I see Jack, Miko and Raf running from a Con. Bulkhead transforms and tackles him. Bee and Arcee pull up beside the others.
"I told you to stay put!" I hear Arcee yell as Jack climbs on her while Miko and Raf climb into Bee. We take off, making our way out of the base. Fowler suddenly puts his head in between the two front seats.
"I like pie. Can we stop for pie?" I couldn't help but laugh. The other two finally notice me.
"You found Cal and Fowler, rock on!" Miko says. Fowler then passes out in the back seat. We finally make it out of the base and head to a open ground-bridge around the corner of the canyon. Once back to the base Bee pulls over and we all get out. We bring Fowler to a human sized bed and lays him down.
Jack walks over and pulls me into a hug. "Don't ever do that to me again. I was so worried…" I smile and hug him back.
"It's okay, I'm alright." I tell him.
Bulkhead kneels down. "I'm sorry, its all my fault." I smile at his apology.
"Its not your fault, its his." I say pointing at Fowler.
"Optimus to base, come in." We all look at the computer.
"Arcee here."
"Bridge us back to base, here's our location."
The co-ordinates appear on the screen and Arcee powers up the ground-bridge. A moment later Optimus and Ratchet walk through. They both look physically tired and Ratchet is holding his arm. I quickly notice a wound on his shoulder. Arcee walks over and starts telling them about everything that has happened today while Optimus helps Ratchet put his arm in a brace. Finally after Optimus is finishes they walk over to where we are standing.
"What happened to you two?" I ask softly, gazing up at Ratchet.
"We engaged an army of undead Cybertroinion warriors." I blink at his answer.
"Zombies?" I ask.
"You fought zombies and I missed it?" Miko wined.
Optimus turns to Bulkhead. "Bulkhead, you excised extremely poor judgement in allowing the humans to accompany you." Optimus glances at us.
"It won't happen again Optimus. I-I promise." Bulkhead apologizes.
"But it wasn't Bulkheads fault." Miko butts in.
"Miko, please!" Bulkhead says.
"And check it out, recon!" Miko flips out her phone and shows Optimus something. Optimus bends down and takes a look.
"Hmm… Ratchet, have a look." Optimus stands back up. "It could be of importance to Megatron."
"Woh! Megatron's back? Thats really bad news, right?" Jack asks, I slap him across the back of his head for being so stupid. Ratchet bends down and takes a look at the image on Miko's phone.
"I don't understand…" Ratchet trails off. Miko looks at the image.
"Oops! That's the Con that tried to blow Raf away. At least thats what he looked like before Bulkhead rearranged his grill!"
"Miko, Raf almost died. This isn't a game, when are you gonna get that through you thick skull." Jack snaps.
"Umm… We were all almost killed Jack. You, me, Raf, especially Cal!" Miko snaps back.
"Why Cal?" Optimus asks.
"Kidnapped by Decepticons along with Fowler." Miko says simply. Ratchets eyes widen and glance to me while I was glaring a Miko. I turn around and stock down the stairs to where the bots are standing. She turns her attention back to Jack.
"Well, if this was just an average day with the Autobots, then I don't want to be a part of it. Not anymore." Jack says.
"Jack," we all look up at Optimus. "Putting you in harms way was never our intent. However, it is no longer the safety of you four that is at risk, but the safety of all human kind. We will respect your decision if you wish to leave." I hear the ground bridge start up. I look over to see Ratchet had opened it.
"No point in long goodbyes. Here's the door." I stare at Ratchet, shocked that he wanted us gone so bad.
Jack turns around, "Come on Raf." Raf looks at Bee then looks back at Jack.
"I'll be okay, Jack. See you at school."
"Sure thing." Jack walks away as Arcee walks up to him. Jack looks at her for a second, "Yea, I know. You don't exist."
"Don't make me hunt you down." Arcee says as she watches Jack walk by her. I watch as she sighs and looks down for a minute. Jack grabs my hand and starts tugging me into the ground bridge. I was too exhausted to argue with him so I let him drag me, even though I didn't want to go. I look back and find Ratchet watching me with a sad look on his face. But it quickly disappears. The Autobots disappear and the familiar setting of our street comes into view. The sun was just setting.
Suddenly, adrenalin rushes through my veins. I rip my hand from Jacks and turn around to look at him. "How could you be so inconsiderate! The Autobots are only trying to help! Besides I liked being with them." I didn't want to mention the weird feeling I get from being around Ratchet.
Jack growls and messes up his hair. "Cal, you were almost killed today! And it's all because of the Autobots! If we hadn't met them none of this might have happened!"
"First off, if none of this ever happened we would not have met Raf and Miko and the Autobots! Who are beyond cool. Secondly, Fowler was the one how grabbed me and the Autobot's came to SAVE us! If it wasn't for them I might still be stuck in a cage talking to the mutated potato chip!" Jack gave me a weird look,I roll my eyes. "Starscream. Anyway, I owe my life to the Autobots and now I probably won't ever see them again!" Jack just stares at me. "If you need me, I'm in my room."
I turn around. "Cal, wait-" "No Jack, you ruined possibly one of the greatest thing in my life. And I wasn't even able to figure out these feelings." I mumble the las part. I quickly walk to my room and lay down on my bed. Tears fall from my eyes as I lay there. I must have fallen asleep because when I open my eyes it was dark outside. I groan and climb out of my bed. I walk downstairs and find Jack in his room working on his bike. He looks up as I walk in but otherwise doesn't say anything.
Lights appear in our driveway. First thing that came to my head was, 'Moms home.' But when I look outside Bulkhead's alt mode was there. Miko jumps out and gives me a small smile. "Now I understand why you two had to rush home."
"Don't you have something more exciting to do Miko?" Jack questions.
"So this is where you hang... Huh?" Miko says, trying to get Jack to talk. She picks up an ornament for Christmas. "Back home in Tokyo, I have loving parents and two pure breed cats, Che-Che and Ding-Dong. I went to the best school, took piano lessons since I was 3."
"How nice for you." Jack says, more focused on the bike wheel in front of him.
"No! How boring." Jack looks over to Miko. "It wasn't me. Why do you think I jumped at the chance to transfer here."
Jack laughs, "To Jasper, Nevada. The entertainment capital of the world?"
"Yea," Miko says with a laugh. "Well, the brochure lied. Piano lessons were starting to look good, in-fact. But then, the last couple of days happened!"
"Do you have a point?" Jack asks, I was wondering the same thing.
"You bet. I saw what you did today." I became confused at Miko's words. "When you saved Raf." My eyes widen. "When you came to save me."
"I've been raised to be responsible. To my school work, my mom, my sister, my job."
"Dude, hear me out. Your not some fry cook. Your a rockstar. Stop pretending to be normal Jack, you'll never fit in. You were born to be so much more!"
"Thanks Miko, but I think normal suites me just fine." Miko just growls. She climbs into Bulkhead and heads off.
I stare at Jack. "Wow... That was... Wow... Yours soo... Gah!" I did not know what to say to him. He sighs but doesn't say anything. I couldn't help but feel disappointed in him. My thoughts drift to Ratchet. 'Why do I feel this way?' I thought to myself
