Well, here we are. The last chapter of this story. I got to admit, this was pretty short then all the other stories I've done. And believe me, I've had stories that took longer then this. Like a couple of years for once. And of course with all the other things in my schedule that's the in way, mainly schoolwork, job, trips, etc, things get a little complicated. But hey, I have most of my time to kill and I usually take breaks a couple of times so at least I can play catch up with others frantically update stories that will take me forever to read so that way I have to skim it to figure out what is going on. No offense to those writers anyways since they all have good stories and characterization while others tend to make them short and impossible to understand. I'm talking about those in the later half that do those Mary Sues and Plot Bunny shorts that they think it's funny. Um… Guess I was rambling on there. I better get started on the story. But let's see what people said on the last chapter first. I got three reviews from two viewers/writers and around a hundred hits. Not bad so far. Guess the action sequence I put together made it interesting. Ask for the reviews, one was Dark Maiden95 and other is someone by the name of mariforalltmnteterna. Dark Maiden95 so far thinks my chapter was awesome and I give her props to that. Of course this other author stated the same thing with two of my chapters. One of which he or she likes Sari training to be a ninja bot. The other in which this person loved the last chapter and liked how Sari assimilated Prowl's lessons. Though I got a little confused on what the person said at the end. But at least this author likes it. All right, enough talking, let's get to the real deal. The final chapter of Sari's Life as a Teenage Robot starts now!

Chapter Eleven: Back to Normal, Almost…

Well, the day has finally arrived. It's Christmas Eve and everyone is either spending time with their families or getting last minute presents. Back at Sumdac Tower, the professor was putting the final touches of Sari's ultimate gift. But of course, he was worried about this Soundwave toy that's already out in stores and still in stock for the Christmas season. It was his property and Powell had the audacity to take it from him. He is going to do a live commercial later on tonight and promote 'his' new toy. The professor might call him up and give him a piece of his mind.

At the same time, Sari was in her new and improved room and was putting the finishing touches herself. So far, she liked what she saw. When the movers and painters were repairing the place, she never thought it would be like that. Still, the furniture and paint was the same when she was once a little girl before the whole upgrade thing. But now the room looked a little more like a teenager's room. There were less stuffed animals around then normal, her clothes consist of all the teenage fashions she bought at the mall with the help of her father, her new television was a flat screen twenty inch with wi-fi connections to go online, and there were framed posters that had teen movies and music teenagers like. There were other things that would match her robot half. Like for example, the energon dispenser between her bed and closet. It looked just like a soda machine mixed with a coffee dispenser. There's a hole inside to extract the energon and a cup holder to hold all the plastic cups to the side. And inside the dispenser itself is the big enough energon cube to fit into the dispenser. It seem like a distinct size plus Ratchet will deliver a new energon cube incase she runs out of the other. But to her, she doesn't like drinking that stuff since it leaves a bad taste in her mouth. But being that she needs to keep her Cybertronian half functional, she doesn't have much of a choice in the matter. In her closet, there were also copies of her teenage sundresses that act as a default for her robot mode. Since the incident back at one of the factories, the clothes Sari use to wear, mostly her pants, were ripped up below her knees. Cause of that incident, she had to return most of the clothes that would ultimately be ripped when her clothes are in that pocket dimension to keep them safe. Only thing that would work would be her shorts, skirts, and the stylish dresses to won't cause any problems with her robot mode. But then she soon realized that her closet was half full. So her father had taken the liberty in making copies of her teenage sundress with fingerless gloves attached to the sleeves and long socks with slip on shoes. So now she got her regular clothes and the default clothes for her robot mode.

Aside from all the setbacks, she was getting use to her Cybertronian side. Her skills and training really bore fruit and she knows how to defend herself well. And with her new abilities, such as the multiple nodes on her fingers that let her gain access to computers and fix them and a scanning ability when she place her hand on a machine, it gives her details and ways in repairing that machine, she has become a new era of a bionic woman. Unfortunately, she wouldn't be able to gain access to all the other mods, being that they are disabled because those mods were connected to her All Spark chamber and would cause another overload if she did. But at least she would take some baby steps until she would be able to control them.

There was one thing she had to repair though. A few days ago, Sari was rescuing the hostages from a group of robbers that were trying to steal money from the bank. With her skills and technique, she was able to stop the crooks and saved the civilians. But of course, there was one thing that she didn't expect. See, while fighting with the leader, her idea was to throw a group of extinguishers together so he could shoot them with his chain gun by accident. But what she didn't expect was how many she put together and how much of an explosion the extinguishers would make. Because of this, the blast almost shook the foundation and broke the windows, nearly killing the team leader. At least she knew the hostages were safe and there were a few minor injuries. But of course, she was glad that she was in one piece as well.

The other day though, she was recovering from the battle while finishing up her room. But then Fanzone came into the tower and wanted to speak with her father. The professor agreed and sent Fanzone up for a discussion. During the talk, he told Sumdac that there was a bank heist that was in progress and the group of robbers were taking people hostage. For some strange reason, there was a huge explosion from inside and the hostages got out of there safely while the crooks looked like they were beaten by an unknown vigilanty. Issac listened in and asked the commissioner what this has to do with him. At the time, Sari was with them cause she knew why he was there and decided to listen to what he said. The commissioner looked at her and was confused as to why she grew up so fast, but he let the slide and continued with his investigation. Fanzone then took out a security disk that showed the bank and insert it to the CD-ROM under the desk where Sumdac was sitting. The professor looked at the footage that was taken at the bank while Sari was by his side. Looking at the footage, Sumdac noticed a battle going on. He was still a little confused until Fanzone paused the footage. This gave the professor a chance to look at it and discovered what appears to be a young teenage woman clad in yellow armor with a helmet showing off two metal pigtails. Issac's eyes blinked a couple of times and couldn't believe what he was seeing. He looked at Sari and could understand what she was doing while she was shopping.

Fanzone then continued on, explaining what just happened. He stated that there was a young girl in the bank trying to play hero and took on the robbers herself. She had skills and agility along with weapons on her hands shooting off the guns. What makes this girl different was that she had a pair of pigtails, the same type of pigtails the professor's daughter has, only a little shorter. And judging by eyewitnesses, they said the girl was a teenager around sixteen wearing a yellow dress all covered in the same color armor with a helmet to conceal her identity. He continued to play the tape and showed him the rest of the fight. Of course, it ended with Sari throwing a bundle of fire extinguishers wrapped in duct tape at the leader of the group. The moment the bullet hit the extinguishers; the whole thing exploded and took out the camera that was showing the whole thing. When the video was over, the commissioner wanted to know what was all that about and see if the professor had anything to do with that.

Sumdac was in awe and didn't know what to say. But then Sari tapped his shoulder and told him it was okay and she'll explain it to him. What she said is that she was the one that stopped those robbers and that made Fanzone feel a little confused. So Sari started to explain it to him. She told him about the day she discovered that she was a techno organic from Cybertron, her upgrade, the overload, all of her training and abilities, the energon drinking, all the way up to the incident at the bank. Listening to all of this, Fanzone rubbed the back of his head and couldn't believe any of this. He never expected this girl to become a hero, let alone a robot with a human shell. Feeling defeated, he walked away from the Sumdacs and let this incident slide. But Sari swore that she heard him mumble, 'If there's one thing I hate more then machines and kids, it's machine kids!'

Now back to the present, Sari looked around and was glad her room was redone. Looking around, she nodded in approval and was glad this was all finished. All she needed to do is add one more thing into the mix. Looking down at the frame she was holding, she approached her desk and hung it up over it. Looking at it, she smiled and like what she added. On the wall was a picture frame made out of black ebony of a futuristic key. That key was none other then her All Spark key she use to have before her upgrade. After her upgrade, Ratchet told her that she transferred all the All Spark energy from her key and into her, making the key relatively useless. But Ratchet did tell her to keep it as a little reminder, and kept it she did. She told her dad that she wanted to place it in a frame so she could preserve it for all times. So they went to a frame store and had a frame custom fit for the key to be in. At the bottom of the frame is a bronze plaque with an inscription written on it. It's said, 'It choose me for a reason'. They were the very words Optimus said to her after the fight with Megatron a while ago.

Reading that plaque, she always wondered why the All Spark chose her. When she first met the Autobots, she discovered the All Spark by accident and it scanned her, creating a key from her keycard and bestow her with abilities from within the key itself. But she never knew why the All Spark choose her to begin with. Was it because of her techno organic self? Was it a minor accident? Was it for a greater cause? Or… Was it because of her past? Thinking of that, she does remember touching the pod that had her protoform sparkling inside to see where she's from. And judging by the images of a planet, a war, two Cybertronians, and a planet that looks like it was transforming, something must've happened in the past. But what was it, and what does it have to do with her?

Just as she was thinking about that, she heard her phone ringing on the desk. Looking down, she noticed her new cell phone ringing the Transformers theme song and sighed to herself. Ever since the Constructicons destroyed her phone when she was alone at the Autobot's base, she never had another phone due to her missing father and that she was kicked out of the tower. But now that her father was back, he was able to give her a new cell phone with a promise to not loose it or let it break. Picking up the phone, she answered it and placed it in her ear to see who's calling.

Sari: "Hello?"

On the other end was a familiar and friendly voice.

Bumblebee: "Hey Sari! Where are you? You should've been here by now getting the party ready."

Sari was a little silent for the moment, not realizing that it was Bumblebee until now. After realizing who it was, she sighed and responded back with a pleasant smile.

Sari: "Sorry Bee. I was just putting the finishing touches in my room. You should see this! This is way cooler then before."

Bumblebee: "I'll see it later on. Right now we need you here for the big Christmas party! Hurry up!"

Sari: "All right, I'm leaving. Just don't start the party without me."

She then hung up her phone and hurried to the door. But before she could leave, she looked back at her room and saw her plaque with the All Spark key resting on the wall. Staring at it, she promised herself that will find her answer soon enough. But until then, she has a Christmas Eve party to get to. So she turned back and left her room, knowing this is going to be a great Christmas. Or so she thought…

For underneath the Autobots base, a lone figure was making the final preparations. Once this figure was done, he responded in a low robotic voice.

Soundwave: "Excellent… Everything is going according as planned… All systems are operational and online… Soon I will control the Autobots and the entire city will be under my control… So says I, Soundwave… Let us begin with phase one… Operation: Go to stasis…"

And that's that. This story was pretty much simple to make, though there was many things I added that took a while, but at least I was able to get through with it. And yes, I was supposed to finish this on February but I was busy with a few things. But at least I finished it and it took a shorter time then other stories I've done. All and all, I say this was a very intriguing story I put together. I hope everyone enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoy writing it. Just wait until you see the other stories I'm coming up with. Please Review and have a nice day.
