Chapter 4:Battle&Questions
-:Prime, are your logic sensors scrambled up?:- Ratchet yelled thought the com-link, causing me to flinch.
-:I know what im doing, Ratchet:-I replied, but not sounding too convincing, but it shut Ratchet up.
We got back to where Starscream was and I climbed a building which was about 30-40 stories tall. Ratchet and Bulkhead were on the motorway. Once the decepticon noticed us he transformed. Bulkhead removed the allspark from Ratchets vehicle mode and placed it on the ground nearby.
"Starscream, you can have what you want, now release Aurora and Bumblebee!" I announced. Said con gave me a look, before shaking his head.
"Leave the allspark unguarded, or they will get it!" He threatened, aiming his gun at the pair. My anger slowly started to rise.
"Release them now or I'll destroy the allspark!" I shouted, gesturing to it. Starscream didn't fall for it.
"Don't try to deceive a decepticon, autobot." Starscream then started descending "We are the masters of deception!"
I smirked. He didn't notice the torpedo shaped hot air balloon behind him.
(Aurora's POV)
"YOU THINK IM BLUFFING?" I heard Optimus yell as he got out his axe, let out a war cry, and aimed for the allspark.
"Ratchet, step aside!" He ordered, before swinging the axe.
"WAIT!" Screamer bellowed. I snickered. Dumb ass decepticons.
I was about to make a snazzy remark when a certain ninjabot leaped up and gracefully landed in front of me and 'Bee. I folded my arms and smirked.
"Took you long enough." I retorted. Prowl glared at me, grabbed Bumblebee by the wrist, and jumped back down.
My jaw dropped. That cyber-bitch! He just ditched me! I was fuming, until I got an idea.
Once Prowl and 'Bee were safely on the ground, I stood on the edge and inhaled deeply. Incredibly stupid, maybe, but it looks so tempting.
As soon as Prowl looked up and me I flipped off of the building, performing somersaults and more flips on the way.
"AURORA!" I heard Prowl cry, as he sprinted forward to catch me. Thankfully he did, just in time.
I panted and fell to my knees. My hair may be a mess and I feel slightly shaky, but it was totally worth it.
I glanced up at Prowl. He looked worried. For about half a second. Before becoming beyond pissed off. I swear I saw his optics flash red.
"What were you thinking?" He hissed to me coldly. I sneered and scowled at the black and gold mech.
"Well, Ninjabot, I didn't need your help anyway. And I certainly didn't ask for it." I snapped right back in his face. He narrowed his optics at me and literally dropped me and ran off to join in the battle which was now occurring.
I noticed Sari and sprinted towards her. Once she saw me she squealed and hugged me.
"Oh my god Aurora you had me worried!" She sobbed, and I hugged her. I saw Starscream heading towards us.
"Come on Sari!" I exclaimed, grabbing her arm and dragging her away. Soon enough I knew that we weren't going to get away and until the Autobots came I would have to fend him off myself.
I stopped and stood protectively in front of Sari, my arms spread out. I growled and Starscream smirked.
"Oh, sweet Aurora, it's you im after, not the other fleshling." He chuckled evilly. I got into my fighting stance.
"Bring it." I shouted and ran towards him. Time to show off my moves. Screamer shot at me but I gracefully dodged and delivered a ninja nerve blow, right onto his ankle. He cried out in pain and fell to the floor. Taking the moment, I picked up Sari and got the heck outta there.
We ran around the corner and saw the Autobots playing catch with the allspark. It was now heading towards Bulkhead, but the clumsy lug was unable to catch it and Screamer got it. My eyes widened.
I swear I had him down a couple of second ago! Shaking the thought off, I kept Sari close by as the battle ensued.
Bulk' then used his wrecking ball, whacked Starscream, making him lose grip of the allspark. Bulky caught it in one hand.
The other bots then surrounded him and he gave it to Optimus.
Suddenly a massive purple ray came beaming onto the street, knocking me and Sari back. I covered her body as we flew back. I hit my head and slowly fell into unconsciousness.
(…..)
"Aurora, Aurora!" I groaned and opened my eyes. Sari was standing above me, her eyes wide and tearing. I sat up and hugged her.
"How long was I out?" I asked. Sari sniffled and pulled away.
"About 10 minutes. I dragged you into this building so that we would be safe." She replied. I gave her a small smile and nodded my head as a thanks, before standing up and heading back out with Sari close behind.
Not that far ahead I saw Bumblebee, Prowl, Bulkhead and Ratchet looking up to the sky, almost as if they were in a trance. We legged it up to them.
"Sup." I greeted, loudly. They turned to me and Sari and gasped in horror. I frowned.
"What?" Sari asked. She then looked at me and gulped.
"Oh yeah…" She mumbled, leaving me in the dark.
"WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHATS WRONG?" I shouted. No, I want angry, just annoyed. There is a huge difference you know.
"Well, remember when you got knocked away by the blast, and hit your head?" Sari asked, giving me a look. I nodded. Where was she going with this?
"You hit it hard…." She finished nervously. Slowly, I raised my hand and felt my forehead. I nearly puked when I made out a long, deep gash across my forehead, and it was still bleeding.
"Holy Crap!" I exclaimed.
"How comes I can't feel any pain from it?" I wondered. The 'bots were still looking at me in shock. Suddenly my head started pounding and I fell to my knees in pain.
"Shit, jinxed it…" I groaned, clutching my head. I then realized that I had been swearing and turned to Sari.
"Kid, do not use the bad words that I just used." I said sternly. Sari looked confused but nodded anyway.
I turned back to the autobots. They had finally snapped out of their trance; but were now scanning me like crazy.
I looked up at the sky and saw Prime and Screamer having a tug-of-war with the allspark. Just then the Allspark gave off a bright white light which was almost blinding, and then it let off blue sound waves (no pun intended ;), in circles as they spread across the city.
I just stared at it in amazement and awe, as did the others.
Soon enough the blue waves died down and we could just about see Optimus, holding the cube with his axe stuck in an advertisement board, trying not to fall. But he did fall and screamed when he hit the road, leaving a giant crater with him in the middle of it.
Bumblebee transformed and the others followed. Sari hopped into 'Bee. Prowl was seemingly ignoring me, so I clambered into Ratchet.
He may seem grumpy but he can be nice when he wants to be. Putting his sirens on he sped to where Optimus was laying, on the brink of death.
Sure enough we got there quickly and I jumped out of Ratchet, heading towards Prime. Sari was ahead.
"Optimus?" She whispered. He could only groan in response as the rest of us gathered around him. He was badly damaged, not one part of his body wasn't either cracked or dented.
"So this…..is what it feels like…..to be a hero….."Was his last words as he slowly faded to different shades of grey.
Optimus Prime was dead.
I knew that he would be back alive in, what, 2 minutes, but I wasn't going to say anything.
Ratchet scanned him, but the pulse on the machine became a flat line.
"There's nothing we can do now. His spark's extinguished." Ratchet said through gritted teeth.
Prowl walked over to the allspark and placed a hand on it.
"He went saving the allspark. That's what matters." He said, cold heartedly. I really wanted to say a snappy remark and punch him but now was not the time.
Sari's eyes started to water. It made me heart break, remembering what happened to my parents.
"No, he can't be gone! He can't!" She yelled, in complete denial. It was too much and I had to walk away. I wasn't going to cry, I wasn't…
I ignored the world, everything, as I thought about my parents. The happy times I had with them.
I turned around to see Sari using her key on Optimus. I smirked, but my jaw dropped when it didn't work.
"WHAT?" Sari screamed, thrashing about whilst 'Bee tried to calm her. I then walked over to the fallen Prime, my face expressionless. I climbed into his torso and gently placed both of my hands over his spark chamber. And concentrated.
"Aurora, what are you do-"Prowl was cut off when the allspark let out a beam of energy, directed into Primes chest. It revived his spark and I smiled slightly. His body went alight as he got back all of his original colours.
Just as he opened his eyes I felt tired and passed out.
(…)
As I slowly opened my eyes everything was fuzzy. I blinked a couple of times and when everything went clear, I noticed that I was lying on this massive metal berth, a blanked covering me.
It then clicked; I was in the med bay in the Autobots base!
I stood up and leapt off of the berth and walked out the doors. I decided to wonder to the main room, since that is probably where everyone is right now.
Sure enough, they all were, and they all did I double take when they saw me. Sari's jaw literally dropped to the floor before she came running at me full speed and glomped me.
I fell onto my back and smirked up at the 8 year old, who was beaming.
"Oh my god you're awake!" She exclaimed, pulling me into a tight embrace. After a bit she let go and I sat up.
"Why, how long was I asleep?" I asked. Ratchet stepped forward.
"Aurora, you've been unconscious for 2 days." He said. My eyes widened.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit…." I mumbled, running a hand through my hair. They all gave me quizzical looks, except from Prowl, who was completely blanking me. Still. After saving his leaders ass. And being dead to the world for 2 days.
"What?" Bulkhead asked me. I gave him a sad look and all of a sudden they looked concerned. I swallowed, and then remembered that it wasn't very important.
"Oh, don't worry its nothing." I replied. They didn't look convinced, but let the subject drop. In all fairness, I couldn't just go ahead and say 'have I missed Bumblebee piss Prowl off yet?', now could I?
"Moving on…..we need to ask you a few…questions." Optimus said formally. Crap, I hate interviews, but I wasn't going to complain.
"Ask away." I said, sitting on the floor. Prime coughed awkwardly before asking the million dollar question;
"What is your name?" I face palmed and flinched cause I hit my head way too hard. I was just about to answer when Prowl spoke up.
"Her names Aurora." His voice was cold and dripping with venom when he said my name, it sent a chill down my spine. What fun, Prowler hates me.
"OK and, what does Aurora mean, exactly?" He asked next. Why does he want to know that? I had to actually think about the answer. Oh yeah, I remember.
"My name means 'dawn' in Latin. The aurorae are coloured lights that appear in the night sky, also known as the northern lights, since they only appear in the North Pole. They are the result of the collision of charged ions from the magnetosphere with atoms in the upper atmosphere. They were named after Aurora, the Roman goddess of dawn. That's where my name comes from." I explained.
"I must mention that it's a very pretty name." Bulkhead commented, causing me to blush only a tiny bit. Prowl snorted, but I ignored him.
"Third question; How do you know about us?"
"Long story cut short; im from a universe where you guys are all characters in a TV program." I said. They nodded.
"Next question, how in Primus were you able to bring Optimus back online?" Ratchet asked. I just shrugged.
"I dunno. When 'Bee was unconscious I walked up to him, but the ground shook and I fell, my hands landing on his side, healing him."
"It's true." Bumblebee piped up, smiling at me.
"Last question, do you have any family back in your dimension?" Prime asked. I froze, feeling like I was stabbed in the heart. A very touchy question you just asked there Prime.
"My parents died in a house fire a couple of months ago on my 16th birthday." I said, thankful that my voice didn't waver. Their optics widened, but then showed pity. Prowl finally looked at me, but his expression was emotionless.
"Oh Aurora, im so sorry." Sari rushed over and hugged me again, which I gladly accepted. Prime stepped forward and kneeled down. It reminded me of movie Optimus.
"How would you like to live here with us?" He asked. Ratch', 'Bee and Bulk' all nodded in agreement. Prowls optics widened in shock and horror.
"WHAT?" He exclaimed, scowling at me. I rolled my eyes.
"You could pass off as a decepticon, Prowler." I retorted and his eyes narrowed into slits, "And I would love to stay here, Prime, thank you."
I then smiled, not a small smile, a genuine smile. The first time since my parents died. 'Bee stepped forward.
"Good to see a proper smile on your face, Aurora." He said winking. I smirked, he was such a charmer.
I then realized that Sari was still attached to me so I gently pulled back.
"OK, Bumblebee and Bulkhead, you two will go out and get some furniture for Aurora's room." Optimus ordered. Sari jumped up and down excitedly.
"Yeah, my dad has a ton of money which we can use!" She giggled. The two transformed and I waltzed over to Bulky'.
He drove out of the base and the first thing I noticed that the city was not a wreck anymore. See what I miss in just 2 days?
"Where first, Aurora?" Bulkhead asked through the radio. I shrugged, about to answer when Saris voice spoke up.
"Follow me and 'Bee, I know the perfect place." And they sped up, overtaking us. Bulkhead started going faster, keeping up with them. They had their sirens on, just in case.
After a few moments, Bulky' sighed.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Why does Prowl have to come as well?" He moaned. I looked into the rear view mirror and Prowl was indeed behind his. I groaned and slumped into my seat.
"God, doesn't that mech know when he's not wanted?" I said, folding my arms, causing Bulkhead to snicker.
After driving halfway through the city we finally got to this furniture store called 'Ikea' (I have no idea if there are those stores in America, but IDC =).
Oh yeah, I remember that store back in England, when I was in my own dimension.
The three 'bots parked in the car park, right near the entrance of the store. Bulkhead swung his door open and I jumped out, the door slamming shut behind me. Sari came to me and we both walked in.
(However long later…..)
After god knows how long of shopping we finally got everything, including some clothes, loaded it up and returned to base.
Once Bulk' drove into the base I realized that it was considerably cleaner than before. Prime and Ratchet then walked over.
"Just in time, you lot. If you would follow me then you can pick your room. Except from Aurora, I apologize but we needed to install a kitchen and bathroom and there wa-"I cut Optimus off.
"Don't worry; im just grateful that you are giving me a home, im not fussy." He smiled down at me and gestured for all of us to follow.
'Bee and 'Bulk were still in their vehicle modes since we were just going to dump it all into my room to sort out. Being in the year 2050 has loads of advantages. Once we got to my room, Ratchet and Sari helped me unload the two and place all the stuff in there. Optimus was now showing Prowl the other free rooms.
I know that he's gunna pick the room with no roof and a tree, it's a bit obvious. My room, however, was a perfect size and had a bathroom attached to it. It also had giant sized doors that could even ley Bulkhead in. Ratchet informed me that the kitchen was where they go to drink energon. I thanked all of them as they left me to sort out my room.
Yay, another chapter! For all of you that think Prowl is a bit too nasty, it's all part of my master plan ;) Anyways, please R&R and if you could spare a few seconds to choose your fave Autobot on the poll on my profile, it would be greatly appreciated :D
