DISCLAIMER: FOUND ON PREVIOUS CHAPTERS
A/n: Alright I got this idea from watching The Rescuers Down Under a movie I have not seen for quite a while. Ok a few ideas came from that movie that inspired this chapter for I had seriously had a writers block for a day or so before I got the movie to watch because I liked the flying scenes. Well then the idea came to me for this chapter and probably the chapter after that.
Oh well here you go
Oh and for those of you who reviewed my drawing on thanks so much I did not know that it would be that popular. If you don't know what picture I am talking about it is for Crooked's 'Who Knew' with Starscream and Iris. Though I thought not many people would review but surprise, surprise they did. Now that, that is over with I can finally work on my drawings of the kids.
So far I have only Goliath, Artemis, Zenith, Scrappy, and Sonic drawn out and am currently working on Stitch though I made his head look like that robot from Short Circuit. I think after him I will work on Skeeter and then Peruses then the twins. That part is going to be a challenge. Let's just hope not much is going to interfere before I can finish with any pictures.
As for the story I decided to name the children the 'Deceptibots' how does that sound I man I tried Autocons but that does not sound right. So I named them the 'Deceptibots'
Anyways on with the story
THE LOST CHILDREN OF CYBERTRON
Chapter 18: The Cell Phone from Another State
KALAUPAPA MOLOKA'I, HAWAI'I
Nanobite was currently working at monitoring the Earth's orbit when her sensors picked up something from space. Getting every monitor up she scanned the skies above the planet and sure enough just off of Mars and headed towards Earth a very large ominous ship was making its way over to the planet.
"What is it Nanobite?" Kamaka asked as he entered the control room.
"An unidentified ship has entered out system and is making its way to Earth," she said and enlarged the image.
The image showed the ship and the extensive damages that it sustained as it struggled to get to Earth.
"Identify that ship at once!" he ordered
"Identifying now," as Nanobite looked through old logs until her optics widened.
"Logs indicate that it is the ship Nemesis former Decepticon flagship and the same ship that brought the Decepticons here is approaching Earth." Nanobite said
"How many Decepticons are on that ship," said Kamaka
"There are Decepticons and Autobots on that ship Kamaka and from my readings and interceptions majority of them are highly damaged and are seeking aid from Optimus Prime," Nanobite replied.
"Optimus Prime isn't he leader of the Autobots?" Kamaka asked
"Yes he is here on Earth with a few others that had come with him as well as a few other recent arrivals. From what I found their base is located just 20 astroclicks from where Alex and the others are located." Nanobite replied.
"Who is with them?" Kamaka asked
"Marie, Alex, Kekoa along with Decepticon Sparklings Radon, Skeeter, Scrappy, and Stitch along with Autobot Sparklings Zenith and Sonic. There are two adult Cybertronians with them adult Decepticons Frenzy and Barricade both acting as guardians for the sparklings. So far Barricade has been doing good job of it. He is Marie's Cybertronian partner," Nanobite replied
"Ah yes I've heard of him Marie did mention him to us the last time we talked." Kamaka said as he scratched the patch over his ear.
"Barricade may be a Decepticon warrior but he is a warrior of much honor Kamaka he keeps his word to the T." Nanobite complimented.
"Well what does Optimus Prime have to say about the Nemesis near the orbit of Earth?" asked Kamaka
"According to the reports he and the Decepticon called Shockwave are going to meet to discuss a truce due to the invasion of Cybertron." Nanobite said listening in to the conversation.
"Invasion?" Kamaka asked
"Yes by…Unicronians!" she said shocked
"Those creatures that follow Unicron?" Kamaka said shocked
"Yes and from the damage that the ship has sustained it is true but there might be a possibility that they could have been tracked to Earth," said Nanobite.
"Do you know where the ship is going to land?"
"From what I have intercepted the ship is to land exactly 1500 miles north of us that is just half way between here and the mainland," Nanobite replied
"Alright when they land I want Titan ready to go," he said
"Copy that," said Nanobite.
---NEMESIS---
As the Nemesis neared its destination preparations were being made such as fixing the shield generator that has taken extensive damages from both the escape from Cybertron and the Asteroid field as they entered the inner system. Already repair crews are working overtime to get the ship ready to atmospheric entering and preparing the engines to do a full reverse to prevent a huge impact from being created.
Shockwave stood on the bridge as the various mechs and the few femmes that survived the purge worked overtime to make sure that the ship would survive the entry into the atmosphere. Already cloaking devices and shields were up at maximum. There was no need to let the natives know that they are here. From what he had heard from Starscream before his capture and what he had recorded of his time on Earth the species was very young yet they show signs of high intelligence.
Shockwave was by far surprised that such a species could involve intelligently so quickly. Already he turned to the crew that he has so far of both Autobot and Decepticon and somehow that seemed to fit instead of a crew of just one faction. Perhaps the situation forced them to work together and to him it seems so logically right.
He watched as the Earth grew in size a blue green jewel in the vastness of space. It was something that Shockwave has not seen before he was use to seeing worlds that don't shine as bright. This world glowed with life something that not even Cybertron did in its glory. To him it held a power that many could not imagine, and he knew what it was…hope.
This world is filled with hope for his kind a kind of hope that was from what he read achieved with the destruction of the Allspark and the creation of a new world. A world they hope would bring peace to both races at last. From what Shockwave could understand underneath that logical mind this war has made everyone weary even himself.
As he watched the planet grow in size he was so glad for the stealth technology that went into it. As he ordered the descent he became concern that the ship's antigravity engines would give out and they would crash into the ocean below.
"Lord Shockwave everything is set and we are ready to enter Earth's atmosphere," Soundwave said next to him.
"Prepare for descent," was the reply.
----AUTOBOT HEADQUARTERS THE ARK---
Activity was high as both humans and Cybertronians moved about trying to make the preparations necessary for landing for the Nemesis already medical crews both human and Cybertronian are working to get the medbay and other areas ready for arrival. Already satellites could pick up traces of the ship as it prepared to make planet fall.
At the head of this Ratchet were already busy making final adjustments to a few operation tables when the alarms went off indicating that the ship already began its descent.
The Autobots and humans who have been waiting for this moment scrambled as they all headed towards their emergency vehicles to see if the ship was ready to land.
Out to sea was a group of them ready to help the bots make it to the surface as the Nemesis began its descent.
---NEMESIS---
"Sir an unidentified object has just entered the system and is heading towards us at a rapid pace!" said an unknown mech as he checked the readings on some of the ship's systems.
"Report!" yelled Shockwave.
"Sir four Unicronian ships have just entered the system."
"Scrap!" yelled Rattrap as the ship shuddered with laser fire.
"Lock on all targets! I want a full report on how many are there!" said Shockwave.
---AUTOBOT HEADQUARTERS---
Optimus Prime was scrambling his best men that can take to the skies. All those who took the alternate form of Earth's flying vehicles under the command of Jetfire was already flying towards the stratosphere. Having picked up the signal of Unicronians he and his men was sent scrambling for the launch bays as all aerial units were sent into space.
As they sped towards the damage unknown to them they were followed by two different bots.
----SOMEWHERE BEHIND THE AERIAL UNITS----
"Hey man I think they are going to see some action!" said Rodan as he watched
"No shit Sherlock!" said Goliath as he zoomed past.
Rodan followed as he rammed his engines into overdrive and flown like the eagle that he was towards the fight. Goliath sighed as he followed his fellow flier. The two got towards the ship and already saw that the fight had started already, and so they used their maneuvers that no one else knew. But they got to get past the strange alien ships that tried to fire on the huge cruiser.
A blast from behind them saw that two of the strange ships began to follow them.
"A Scrap!" cursed Goliath as the huge space shuttle moved out of the way.
"No kidding," said Rodan as he too moved out of the way.
"Hey Goliath! Head-but!" said Rodan and the shuttle turned towards him and the two went straight for each other.
They moved out of the way in time as the two strange ships collided and then exploded upon impact. The two flew together and flew away slapping wings in the process.
---MEANWHILE---
Jetfire watched the exchange between the two Autobots as they never used any of their weapons but instead toyed with the Unicronians. He watched as they tricked a few more before he turned his current attention upon the one tailing him. Pulling a few fast maneuvers he managed to get this one off his back. A well placed cannon later saw that some of the Unicronians breach the hull of the ship.
"Silverbolt!" Jetfire called and the concord jet turned towards the Unicronians along with Jetfire and went after them.
----GOLIATH AND RODAN----
"Hey Goliath two of them made their way into the ship!" yelled Rodan and the shuttle turned followed by the F-15. The two of them observed two more Autobots making their way towards the hole.
Already the communications lines are filled with evacuation orders from various mechs and the side panel of the ship blasted open. Various forms of transports flew out of the ship and towards the Earth below. The ship was burning up rapidly as many forms escaped but not before some were taken out by the various strange ships.
"We have to protect them!" Rodan shouted and Goliath agreed.
---ON THE NEMESIS---
Shockwave ordered an evacuation immediately and everyone who can transform into an aerial transport is to take as much passengers as possible and get to Earth. The Autobots were fighting outside and so Shockwave was fighting the Unicronians who broke in. His blaster going as fast as he can fire with the two or three that he hit many more filled the gap.
Other mech's joined the fight as well firing at the Unicronians and buying time for others to evacuate the injured. As they moved he was shocked to see some of the others fighting along side with him both Autobot and Decepticon. At his left was a Femme named Airazor was shooting back. Some others were providing cover for the others so they could get out.
The Unicronians fought back as they fired upon the crew. From behind them more Autobots from outside joined the fray and fired upon the Unicronians as they tried to flee. Jetfire and Silverbolt joined in the fire fight shooting down the monsters while helping Shockwave and the others escape. They tried to get out but the way they came in was blocked while six more Unicronians blocked the way.
Suddenly from behind shouts could be heard and all six turned to see two Autobots one an F-15 Eagle and the other an Earth Space Shuttle. Both stared each other down waiting to strike. What caught both Shockwave and Jetfire off guard was the fighting stance the two took. They were fierce in the way they stood and waited for the right moment to strike. The six Unicronians circled the two new comers sensing something dangerous about them.
Suddenly they charged and the two were ready. Without using weapons they quickly disarmed all six and had them out before they had the chance to fight. They dismembered their limbs and left them in a tangled heap. Both of them signaled for the to leave.
As they were about to exit it was then that Soundwave made the notion, "Where is Starscream?" he said as he made a report on the injured that was evacuated.
"Who is Starscream?" the two newcomers asked.
"He is one of the injured and the most critically injured," said Shockwave getting ready to jump.
"Get out of here the two of us can handle him," said the smaller of the two.
Nodding Shockwave took off into the sky to follow the Autobots.
SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE IN 60 CYCLES AND COUNTING
The computer suddenly burst to life saying the self destruct sequence that has been recently activated. Both of them quickly ran down the halls to find the Medical Bay.
"Goliath we have to hurry!" said Rodan as the sudden explosions rocked the ship.
"I know but which way is the medbay?" the shuttle asked
"I think it is this way?" said Rodan as they suddenly turned the corner.
"How do you know?" asked Goliath
"The sign says so," was the reply
"Oh," Goliath replied back.
They both ran as fast as they could till they finally managed to get to the huge doors that were marked, 'Medbay' in Cybertronian. Breaking in the huge doors both Goliath and Rodan found that it was abandoned, but not before they saw a still form on one of the beds.
Running they saw that it was indeed a mech who is clearly offline.
"I guess this is Starscream," said Rodan though he felt a familiar tug on his spark like when he is with his sister but slightly different.
Rodan and Goliath quickly took Starscream by the arms and legs and Goliath having been bigger then Starscream managed to get him onto his back. They ran as the explosions gotten more towards them.
SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE IN 14 CYCLES
They both ran for the hole only to find it engulfed in flames.
"Shit!" they cursed and turned and ran down another way towards one of the escape pods. Upon seeing that the pods were gone both Goliath and Rodan threw Starscream down one of the shoots and jumped in themselves. As they shot out of the opening Goliath transformed and being quite large Rodan managed to get Starscream onto Goliath since he was the biggest one and transformed.
They managed to use Goliath's emergency cables to strap him down before he too transformed.
The shockwave from the explosion hit them with such force that the two of them had to surf the wave to get away from it. Rodan being smaller and faster led the way as Goliath glided towards the earth with him in the lead. Rodan knew just where to go and so guided Goliath there.
---MILE'S RESIDENCE----
"So let me get this straight you are part of a species of robotic beings that have been at war with each other for millions of years?" he said and all three Skeeter, Sam and Mikaela nodded.
"And you were dragged into this because of some glasses that your great grandfather had on him?" Miles said pointing to Sam.
Sam nodded,
"And you were dragged into this when that cop car chased Sam down the street?" he said to Mikaela and again they nodded.
"Well the cop car is no longer a problem considering that he is now helping people from what I take it," said Sam having read the Autobot reports out of boredom.
"Um so what does that make you?" he asked Skeeter.
"I am just a phone from out of state," he said smirking
"Yeah right!" said Miles.
"Promise to God! I am! Even look up my phone number I am from out of state from Hawaii to be exact. So are my siblings or what I would call my siblings considering that we grew up together." Skeeter said in defense.
"Ok, Ok we believe you Skeeter," said Miles throwing up his hands.
"So if you're a phone from Hawaii how many are there of you guys?" Miles asked
"Well there are ten of us originally but Sector Seven killed the youngest of us named Peruses they gave him back to us in pieces," Skeeter said sadly.
"Sorry man," said Sam looking sad remembering what had happened to Bumblebee.
"Our friend Linda who is now governor of the state of Hawaii got some laws set up where we are safe from them as long as we stay in the islands." Skeeter said
"But why come out here?" asked Mikaela
"Grandpa thought it was best that we explore the outside world and sent groups of us on field trips with some members of the human part of our extended family. It was our turn this year with Alex on her exchange program." He said
"Alex? Are you talking about Alexandria Pakele?" asked Mikaela
"Yeah that's her! She and her cousin Kekoa are part of our family along with Aunt Marie and Uncle 'Cade, and Uncle Frenzy," he said jumping up and down.
"BARRICADE AND FRENZY!" shouted both Mikaela and Sam
It was then there was a pounding on the door, "Is everything alright up here?" asked Miles's mother
"Everything is fine ma'am we are just freaking out over who wrote in my text book," said Sam as he lifted his book and showed the graffiti on one of the pages of a very gross looking sexual organs having sex.
"Kids!" she said disgusted
"Tell us about it some people have no respect," said Mikaela as she glared at the book.
"Well I will bring up dinner since you people are obviously eating up here in this room," she said and walked out.
As soon as she walked out all three gave a sigh of relief as Skeeter peered up from where he hid under the covers. The cell phone scanned the room before coming out fully.
"So you are only 24 years old?" said Sam and Skeeter nodded
"That practically makes you only a baby," said Mikaela remembering Ratchet's lecture on transformer lifecycles.
"Yep," was the reply
"So we are dealing with an alien baby great! How old do you guys get?" Miles asked
"Well Ironhide is about 73 million years old," Sam replied and the shock that Miles showed as he whistled was something that sounded like a cuss word.
"Man! That is like totally ancient," was the reply back
"Yeah and Optimus and Ratchet are around 65 and 57 million years old their kind can live for a very long time," said Mikaela
"Dam I will be fossils by the time they become adults," said Miles.
"Well Bumblebee is almost and adult he is still a teenager at 18,000 years," said Sam.
"Wow," Miles said as Skeeter walked up to him.
"Hey don't take it personally braddah we all feel that way about our human families,"
Miles looked down at the tiny transformer, "Thanks," he said mildly.
"So Skeeter you know Alex?" Mikaela asked
"Yep she was born a few years after we came into existence so she is kind of like our little/big sister," Skeeter replied.
"Ah so then Skeeter what the hell made you go into my backpack," asked Sam.
A so it was his bag that I got stuck in Skeeter thought
"Well I just could not sit in the bag and watch that human try to cheat on Alex's test. So I rigged his phone to go off when I call it even when it was turned off. Then I saw what Trent was trying to do to Mikaela and thought that he needed to be taught a lesson," he said and morphed his hand into a pair of pincers.
Mikaela snickered remembering Trent screaming in class when the bell rang.
"So it was you that made him scream?" she asked and the Nextel phone nodded enthusiastically.
"Well then this is just getting weird," said Miles
The door opened and Miles mother walked in carrying some food and Skeeter hid behind the teens. While he hid he transformed back into his cell phone form. When she left he transformed back and this time Mason the dog was beside the bed again.
The dog regarded the cell phone for a minute before a large tongue rolled out and covered him in slobber.
"Ah gross!" Skeeter said and the dog gave a happy bark.
"Well Skeeter looks like Mason likes you," Miles said giving his dog a back rub.
The cell phone patted the dog on the head.
"So Skeeter seeing as this is the weekend what are you going to do eh?" asked Sam
"Hmm," was the reply
It was then he hopped off of the bed and went for the window. He looked down at the form of a yellow camero outside.
"I want to meet the Autobot."
