Onward

After what seemed like days, which was in realty, one and half the dark eerie grayish clouds parted and let the rays of the sun shine through. Even so the gray clouds only relented some and it still was snowing outside but only snow no sleet. The small door to the side of the garage opened then closed providing a glimps of someone. Rachel walked over to the garage doors and pushed a button on a small switch. Within seconds the sound of old motors echoed threw the room in that sound only old motors could make as the door opened left to right reveling the snow covered blanketed ground outside.
"Damn its cold" grummbled Rachel to herself as she pulled her jacket closer around herself.
"Alright lets hope you don't get stuck." stated Blair leaning out of Primes driver side window. She heard Prime make a sound with his engine; the sound of agreement.
Rachel ran over to the Kenworth and hopped inside the door already open and slid into the seat shivering. Blair looked over at her sister a rare meachivious grin on her face "What's wrong Rach, ya cold?" teased Blair pocking her sister in the ribs with her elbow who only received an evil glare from her sister. "Oh shut up you," she growled sinking into the seat for warmth
Prime cranked his engine into drive giving a small chuckle at his two passengers, turing on the heater in the poccess, and started to move forward pushing through the snow with Jazz tailgating him. Rachel rolled down her window and leaned out with a slight look of concern on her face.
Looking toward the back down and up were Primes trailer was. "Were going to cut it close" watching it move
Realizing what her sister was talking about Blair rolled her own window and looked at Primes trailer herself. The top of the trailer was way to close to cutting the top of the doorframe but they were making it. Coming back into the cab and looking at her sister who did the same. "How'd you get it in here in the first place?" she asked rolling up her window
"Well it was missing like three of its wheels" exaggerating it a little a she gave a sheepish grin
Finally Optimus made it out of the garage how the two weren't sure. Pulling up so Jazz could get out himself he stopped and let out Rachel so she could go and close the garage doors and lock up the place.
"So how far is it to the Ark, Optimus?" asked Blair as she waited for her sister to get back.
"From are current location it would probably take up about an hour and a half your time" She watched a panel on the dashboard light up as Prime answered.
"It's on the other side of Portland" came Jazz's voice from somewhere on the dashboard
Just a second later the passenger side door opened letting in the cold air as Rachel scurried in to get out of the cold. "I hate the cold! Hate! Hate it! Why can't we have stayed at North Carolina?" she whined throwing up her arms
"Well think about it Rachel, If we hadn't moved here we would have never meet Optimus Prime and Jazz" pointed out Blair with a smug grin on her face
All Rachel did is stare at her heatedly. Sighing, "Yeah, I guess so" pulling her legs to her chest
Prime was already pulling out and heading of the driveway finding that the two girls would proably keep him self and Jazz entertained during the trip. Realizing that Ratchel was still cold he turned up the heater a few notches to warm up the two girls but mostly Rachel.
"So why'd cha move t' Oregon any way if ya didn't like 't 'ere?" asked Jazz over the comm. channel
The two exchanged looks as they thought back for a moment then Rachel started first "Well Dad had to move here for business so did Mom. The house we live in now was given to us by relatives for Rachel and I but Dad lives with us most of the time." Begin Blair
"You old enough correct. Why don't you move back?" asked Prime as they went around a curve
"Eh yeah your right but we couldn't leave are parents." Answered Rachel "The good thing is Mom has business trips every summer back home so we go with her that's about the only time though" she finished
"So how did you end up with your own garage, Blair?" asked Prime
"It was all luck really." she began "We didn't even known what the house looked like beside it was two story, when we got here we found the warehouse. I forget what it was used for before hand." shrugging
"We save some money, fixed it up some, started putting up flyer every where we could think of that we repaired vehicles and the rest is history." Added Rachel pure satisfaction in her voice
Some time past and the two sisters countinued to answered all the questions that the two Autobot's had and vice versa along with each just enjoying each other's company. As Prime had predicted their two new friends had supplyed a good laugh here or there along with Jazz occasonly pitching in a snapping comment. Optimus Prime commented sometimes but found that he liked asking the questions and listenting intently to the answer.
He knew that Blair was the more calm one of the two sister but even she could pitch hard on combacks sometimes but unfortently Rachel had her beat more times than not but on the older sisters behalf she could hold her own. Well until the younger sister came back with some weird reply leaving Blair's mouth hung open, Jazz sometime to. Jazz, even though he had remained silent about it, Prime knew Jazz liked her cheeky, good natured attitude.
Little under an hour had past before even Optimus Prime knew he had come an gone. All four of them were sharing a good laugh from something Rachel had said when suddenly the two Autobot's fell silent. Blair and Rachel, once they noticed the sudden queit of them both, fell silent themselves, worried.
Jazz was the first to comment about it keeping his voice low even over the comm. line. "Do ya here 'at or was it just me?" For the first time since the two girls had first heard Jazz speak they heard the uttmost seriousness in the Porsche voice. Blair cought on to one thing though; Jazz's accent had disappated slightly. She wasn't sure if Rachel heard it but she didn't dare ask.
Rachel double tacked at her sister and saw how serious her sister was. Hardly seeing her move, Blair reached over and unrolled the window half way and listened. That was enough to get the younger sister worried "What is it Blair?" whispering but didn't realizing she was doing so.
Blair on the other hand was quiet starring out the front window. Concentrating and completely silent she listened as she attemtped to block out the other noises. Hers eyes widened suddenly "It's the jet from earler!" panic in her voice now
That's when the two girls world started to become violent "Hold on!" cried Prime as he hit the brakes almost without warning. "Look out, Jazz!" he yelled to his companion over the channel. Because of the thin layer of snow and ice that he settled on the road over the week Primes wheels didn't screech, instead they slide leaving white lines after them as he made his way down the road. He could feel his trailer moving behind him starting to make ninety degree turn. His mind only on his companions though.
Without warning, like an action movie, everything seemed to fall silent for a split second then that's when the loud boom came. Both Blair and Rachel covered their ears as everything like after a series of cannons just went off. They could fell everything vibrating not just from the sonic boom.
"What the hell is going on?!?!" cried Rachel who was now in a fetal position on her seat but her hands covering her ears. Blair was the same postion. She looked up just in time to see a blue blur go overhead cutting the falling snow.
Prime finally stopped on the road his right side that was in the air slightly coming down the ice covered section of the road. "Get out and get to safety NOW!" he bellowed
His two passengers were all but happy but to comply without question. At the same time the jet had double back down the road and was heading straight for them. Right under his right wing a cannon came forward and started to charge, glowing blue illuminating its frame and the snow passing by. Then it fired. Blair and Rachel saw it just in time and leaped out of the way as the beam of energy came down between them and Prime. The two came to a stop beside a large tree trunk Blair on top over her sister not believing they had missed that blast which they weren't complaining about.
"It that Decepticons is in it?" asked Rachel rubbing her head picking over at her sister with one eye lid open
Looking down at her sister "No, it's a new one," corrected Blair getting off her sister
"Great!"
Rolling over and seating up the two looked around in different directons and almost at the same time saw two pair of large blue legs only a few feet from them. Following the lower legs up until the saw the blue head and its brightly glowing blue glass eyes filled with determination of a hardened leader. The two felt instantly small seating only a few feet from him. Hearing the sound of a roarding engine they watched a well none Porsche heading straight for them then snapped around and started transforming while still in motion. Blair and Rachel just gapped in awe watched the scene unfold before them, quit literaly.
Turing his upper body but not moving from his spot Prime looked down at the two humans "You three all right?" he asked all in one
He then looked down at the two girls both nodded a little slightly still stunnded out of there minds then turned to Jazz who nodded then turned back to the jet, compeletly serious. Prime inwardly sighed in relief. They all looked up into the sky just in time to see the blue Transformer transform mid flight his cannon ready but stopped hoover a few feet from the ground. They looked own as one more jet came forward a black and dark purple F-15. Snapping around in an completely impossable sixty degree turned it was his turn to transform hold up his cannon to bear a evil grin on his metal face "You may be all right but not for much longer." charging his cannon on his arm
Blair and Rachel cover themselves before hand then jumped in there spots as the sound of a cannon going off rang in their ears thinking that the jet had fired "Hey Seekers! Don't leave us out of the fun!" called a cheeky sound voice from somewhere behind them
Simultaneously they all looked over to find out whom the voice belonged to. Standing just yards away stood several more Transformers all with scowls on their faces and their guns ready, well except one. The one closes the black and white Datsun's gun was smoking standing beside him was a red and black mech a cheeky evil kind of grin on his slightly dark gray faceplate.
Blair and Rachel were still in stunned awe. Without warning another jet came forward out of nowhere. These jets were coming out of the wood works! Blair recognized it as the jet form earlier regaining some of her senses. The cockpit opened and two small objects flew out.
Rachel made a face as she realized what that objects were "A pistol and a blue boom box?. . . That's just weird."
"Oh will include you all right . . ." came a deep evil sounding voice that snapped Rachel back to attention
The two objects started to transform and the Autobot's, Prime and Jazz included, got into a ready stance. Coming down hard and making the ground tremble the pistol transformed into a large silver, black titan with red piercing optics that seemed to glow like beacons inside the snow storm. On his right arm sat a powerful mean looking black cannon. The boom box landing beside the silver titan, instead of eyes he had a visor and a silver mask but that didn't stop him from looking meanicing. Seating on his shoulder and in his right hand was his cannons.
"...but you still didn't get invited" finished the silver one bringing his cannon to bear and took aim directly at Optimus Primes head
"Autobot's battle positions now!!" bellowed Prime just before the Megatron fired
Prime jumped to his right to avoid Megatron's attack. Snapping around to do a quick scan of which of his men had arrived he found the red one he was hoping to find "Ironhide!" calling "Get the humans to safety and stay with them!" he ordered as he began his hand-to-hand with Megatron
With a disappointed grunt Ironhide but no back talk he scanned the area for the humans that his leader and mentioned and quickly found him. Reaching down and offering his hand he gathered them up and took the to a safe distance form he battle.
As Ironhide ran he could hear but couldn't catch the quick conversation between the two. "How'd you find us?" Ironhide looked down but couldn't figure out which of the two had spoken "I thought Optimus's communication lines to you guys were ca-put?" asked Blair looking up at the red bot that was caring her.
Ironhide looked down at the girl on his right and raised and optics ridge at her question "Prime didn't tell them?" he thought. Thinking of a quick reply and not really knowing the answer to her quesition he settled for: "He'll explain later" Finally stopping and turning back to watch the battle proceed
"I'm surpprised Screamer's even here. Figured Megatron would have socked him one real good for messing up." shrugging ignoring the curious looks for his cargo he'd been desinated to protect.
Blair looked over at her sister who looked back exchanging a conversation with out saying a word. They didn't know how to feel about Optimus not telling them about what he hadn't.
