A/n: Hey, here's the next chapter. Sorry it took so long…..now, let us begin
Chapter 18
To say the human and the Autobot meeting went good was an understatement; it went great, to much of Optimus and Lennox's surprise. Well, minus the whole incident with Galloway and Nightfire that Lennox was told by Winchester and Nightfire, everything was going great. Optimus had told them the reason that they were there on Earth, to search for the Allspark that can bring back life to Cybertron before the Decepticons, led by Megatron, get a hold of it and use it for mass destruction. The humans said that they would help, that was a bickering moment between Optimus and Lennox, eventually they came to an agreement. Sometime during that bickering Galloway left, no one cared; things were better when he was. Blaster gave several quick glances at Nightfire, wondering if the young one was going to open up about what happen and who is this Galloway, but he didn't. To be fair, Blaster wasn't going to push his nephew into doing so but he was going to have a chat to one of the organics about him, preferably Winchester since he said he was going to be a pain in the aft.
Of course, the topic of why they were here, again, went into more detail. Of course, Optimus did all the talking and mentioned the name….Witwicky. Nightfire jumped up with a smile, "I know a Witwicky," he said. "The glasses…he showed them to me a bit back at school."
"There are coordinates that are imprinted on those glasses of where the Allspark is," Ratchet added in. He turned to the Prime. "Best bet not to let this go on further than it should."
Prime nodded. "I can go get them," Nightfire said, as he moved from sitting on his Sire's hand. "I doubt Sam is going to let you guys or the army barge into his house for a pair of glasses."
Lennox nodded. "I'll drive you."
"I'll come too," Ironhide said, transforming into a truck and opening his door for them to go in. "The last thing we need is a Decepticon attacking."
"Bumblebee, Twilight and Sideswipe will go with you too," Prime said, and the other three transformed into their vehicles mode. With that, Ironhide drove off first with the two organics with the other three behind.
_(Bumblebee Transition)_
Megatron had arrived to the Decepticon warship, believing that the Autobot, First Aid had met his fate when he fell. He walked through the halls, feeling somewhat satisfied that he had 'killed' any Autobot (if you count making him fall to his death that), and feeling a bit peeved off that his Second-in-Command had failed at taking them down.
"BLACKOUT!" Megatron heard Thundercracker yell to or at his youngling. Megatron walked to where his Seeker was screaming at, and found Thundercracker covered in slim. Eventually, Skywarp came running out from wherever he was at and saw his spark-mate and tried to fight down his smile. Blackout on the other hand, was staring at his Sire. "WHY IN THE PIT WOULD YOU DO THIS?!"
Blackout stared at his Sire, "It wasn't me."
Thundercracker glared at his son, wiping the slim off of him. "Well who the pit did this then?"
Megatron glanced at Blackout. Sure, Blackout was a youngling himself but he acted so much like Thundercracker, even though he won't admit it. Blackout shrugged. "Beats me. Ask Knockout and Overkill, the same thing happened to them."
Thundercracker mumbled before taking off to get clean and hunt down whoever put slim on him. Megatron looked at Skywarp. "Anything to report?"
"I overheard Starscream and Soundwave talking about a possible key to locating where the Allspark is," Skywarp said. "Best bet to ask Soundwave himself."
Megatron nodded before leaving the Seeker and his creation alone. He walked down the dark halls of the Decepticon warship, down to Soundwave's office. He found the Decepticon staring at his computer screens, staring at the codes that endlessly came about. Whatever Soundwave was looking for, Megatron trusted him that it would be reliable to the Decepticon cause. " I heard you got a lead on the Allspark."
Soundwave looked at the Decepticon leader, nodding in his presence. "Megatron: correct. Allspark clue: imprinted on what the organics call 'glasses' which is in the presence of an organic named Samuel Witwicky."
"Excellent job, Soundwave." :Barricade gather up a team. I need you to retrieve something for me.:
:Yes Lord Megatron:
:Soundwave is sending you the location:
Megatron turned off his comm link. He stood behind the Decepticon, staring up the screen, not really knowing what was exactly on display but watched as more codes popped up and Soundwave was efficiently working through all of them. The warlord smiled to himself. Soon we would win.
_(Bumblebee transition)_
During the entire ride, Lennox and Nightfire kept asking the Autobots more about themselves and why they were exactly in the war. Apparently, they've been at war way longer than Earth was a planet. The story behind the war was a difficult one to pinpoint what exactly was the cause: Ironhide said Megatron was hungry for power and he wanted to rule. He was sick of the Autobots getting better treatment, including the Neutrals. Sideswipe said that the Counsel wasn't listening to Megatron when he first only verbally threatened to do destruction and eventually it caused a war. Twilight and Bumblebee just agreed with Sideswipe and Ironhide.
"What can this Allspark do exactly?" Lennox asked
"It will bring our planet back to life," Ironhide said, slowing his pace as he was nearing the city. "The Allspark is a God of Cybertron; the God of Recreation to be exact."
"If the cube falls into the wrong hands, the Decepticons will destroy Earth," Twilight said over the comm.
"That's peachy," Lennox said sarcastically.
"What would you guys do once you get the Allspark?" Nightfire asked.
"Well," Ironhide said as he took a road that lead down to Sam's neighbourhood, "the war would be over. We would go back to Cybertron, bringing you along with us and bring the planet back to life. Rebuild everything and go back to our lives before all of this happened."
Nightfire was silent. Ironhide slowed down and parked in Sam's driveway; the other three Autobots were right behind. The boy got out of the truck before running up to the front door, knocking several times, waiting patiently. Within five minutes, Sam opened the door, surprised to see Nightfire. "Hey."
"Hey. Can I come in?" Sam nodded, opening the door and moving aside to let his friend in. "Look, I know I haven't been around recently but I need your help." Sam nodded. "Do you have those glasses that you showed in History class?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, according to the Autobots, those glasses have the Allspark imprints on them which can tell them where the location of it is," Nightfire said.
"What is an 'Allspark'?"
"The Allspark can help bring their planet back to life and help their race continue…and so forth," Nightfire said briefly. "The important question is: do you still have them?"
"Yeah," Sam said.
Nightfire smiled. "Good. Grab the glasses and pack some clothes you're going to be me for a bit."
Sam smiled. "Okay, I'll text my mom, but if she starts freaking out you have to answer to her."
Nightfire chuckled. "Judy loves me. Now hurry up and pack, will ya?"
Sam chuckled before rushing upstairs to get ready. Nightfire looked out the window, finding Lennox standing outside of Ironhide, probably chatting about weapons or something like that to the truck. Would I really go back to Cybertron? He thought to himself.
Of course you will, Jazz chirped through, startling Nightfire. He had unknowingly sent his thoughts to his Creators and mentally cursed himself for that.
You expect us to leave you behind once we get Cybertron back and running? Prowl came through this time.
No. I…well….no, I guess not. Oh! Good news, we got the glasses. Sam is grabbing them now and coming with us.
There was a moment pause from his Creators. Good. Now arrive back safely, Prowl said.
Sam had finally came back down the stairs with his school bag over his shoulder. Will do, Nightfire responded before turning his full attention to his friend. "About time," Nightfire chuckled, as Sam made a face at him. The boys left the house and walked towards the Autobots and Lennox. "We got the glasses," he said as they approached them.
"Good," Ironhide said. Bumblebee honked at Sam indicating that the boy was travelling with him. "Hop in, we're heading back."
_(Bumblebee Transition)_
Barricade had suspected that the Autobots probably already knew where those glasses where at and, with their luck, probably already have them. He had gathered Dead End, Breakdown and Dragstrip with him. Besides those three always do their job without hesitation and they don't annoy him as much as the other Decepticons did.
"Barricade, I am picking up four Autobot signals," Breakdown said, as he drove beside Barricade.
Barricade went on his scanners and picked up the same Autobots as Breakdown did. "Dragstrip, speed up to the Autobots; Breakdown go with him. Dead End come with me, we're going to cut them off."
_(Bumblebee Transition)_
"Slag me to the Pit!" Ironhide growled, as he started to pick up speed.
Nightfire sat up from leaning against the window while Lennox looked concern. "What is it?" The solider asked.
"We got four Decepticons trailing us," Ironhide growled again. Ironhide was now gaining speed; Nightfire looked in the mirror at the other three Autobots who were doing the same. "Bumblebee, stay close to me. I'm going to drop Lennox and Nightfire off to the side and I want you to rush back to the base." Bumblebee beeped in agreement. "Sideswipe and Twilight, cover for Bumblebee until he gets the humans out."
"Yes, sir!" They both said.
Ironhide made a sharp turn, flinging his doors opened which made Lennox and Nightfire to fall out of the truck. The two humans rolled down into a ditch; Ironhide transformed. Bumblebee quickly rolled up beside Ironhide, opening his doors, urging for the humans to get in. Sideswipe and Twilight transformed beside Ironhide, getting tackled by Dragstrip and Breakdown. Lennox and Nightfire quickly climbed up the ditch and got into Bee; Bee took off. Up ahead, the young scout noticed Barricade and Dead End standing in the middle of the road. :Ironhide, Barricade and Dead End are cutting my path off.:
:I'm on my way:The old bot said before cutting off.
Bumblebee did a swerve, opening his doors making the humans fly out into the wooded area. Bumblebee transformed quickly as he began to fire at the Decepticons. And the Decepticons weren't showing any pity that he was by himself; they were firing back at him. Lennox, Nightfire and Sam stayed low and moved in the trees, trying their best to not be seen. Within two minutes, Ironhide showed up, firing at Barricade. The Decepticon growled.
Lennox looked at the boys, trying to make sure that they were in sight and moving and that the Decepticons were in sight and not searching for them. Sam and Nightfire watched as the Autobots and the Decepticons were battling each other, Lennox went back and tugged at them to come on.
"You have something that Megatron wants," Barricade growled. "Where are the glasses?"
Ironhide snorted. "Not in my life-span are you getting it."
Barricade stared at the Autobot, before charging his weapon up. "Fine." He shot at Ironhide just enough to bring him down. Barricade looked toward the forests and stalked over, ignoring that Bumblebee and Dead End were still going at each other. Lennox crouched down, silently ordering the boys to do the same.
"Move," Lennox whispered to them. They continued to move but each time the Decepticon kept getting closer, and closer to their location.
Barricade found it entertaining to watch the organics trying to escape him, but he needed those glasses and he wasn't going to take 'no' as an answer. He picked up the organic that was known as Samuel Witwicky. The organic let out a scream as he was being lifted up, causing the other two to stop and look horrified. "Where are the glasses?" Barricade demanded.
Sam wiggled. "Let me go."
"I will not repeat myself, organic," Barricade growled.
Sam didn't say anything, he just continued to wiggle in the Decepticon's grasp. Nightfire looked around, gathered some rocks and started to throw them at the Decepticon. "Let him go!" Nightfire yelled, as he continued to throw rocks at the bot. Barricade looked at the organic. "Let him go or I will scratch your paint!"
Lennox stood beside Nightfire, not really sure what he was thinking. It didn't matter what Lennox was thinking anymore; what matter was that the Decepticon was holding Sam and Nightfire throwing rocks at him which could make the situation worse. Barricade picked up Nightfire, whom held on tightly to his rocks and started to throw them at the Decepticon's spark chamber and optics. Lennox pulled out his gun and fired many times at the bot. "You pathetic organic!"
"N-not pa-pathetic," Nightfire struggled to get the words out as Barricade began to squeeze him. He dropped his rocks as he held onto Barricade's hand. "N-not or-org-organic, e-eithe-r." With that, Nightfire's eyes turned bright blue as he clenched down on Barricade's hand, melting the metal. Barricade cried out in pain, dropping the organics. Lennox ran to catch them, but that didn't work, since Sam and Nightfire had landed on him.
Barricade gathered himself together and looked at his hand. The boy had melted his hand. That organic melted his hand! Barricade growled, he took a step forward to the organic. "What are you?" Barricade growled at Nightfire. "I said-"
"Leave them!" Ironhide's voice boomed, his weapon fully charged and ready. Barricade growled, he reached for Nightfire and just in time, Ironhide was shooting at the Decepticon. Lennox grabbed Nightfire and Sam with him as they ran away from the scene when they heard the Decepticon call out, "Decepticons fall back!"
Not sure if they actually did fall back, they risked being seen by going back to the road. Bumblebee was the first bot to come to them and opened his doors, the three organics climbed in. Twilight and Sideswipe appeared behind along with Ironhide.
"You two okay?" Lennox asked as they were heading back to the base.
"Yeah," Sam nodded.
Nightfire nodded in silence. He didn't understand what he just did to that Decepticon. He literally melted the metal hand; he didn't know he could do that. He wasn't going to talk to his Creators about it, he was going to talk to Lennox about it, just not in any Autobot's hearing range.
_(Bumblebee Transition)_
The Autobots made it back to the base. Lennox, Sam and Nightfire got out and Nightfire was swept up by his Sire, literally checking him over. "What are you doing?" Nightfire asked.
"Checking for any bruises on you," Prowl said, Nightfire went in alarm but Prowl didn't notice it. "We heard there were Decepticons getting caught in the mix so-"
"I'm okay," Nightfire cut his Sire off. He looked at Lennox for help but the soldier just smiled at him.
Ironhide transformed. "Relax Prowl," Ironhide said to the Second-in-Command. "He did good. They all did good, actually. Not a single wound on them from Barricade." Prowl went tense at hearing his brother's designation. "Like I said Prowl, relax. They are fine and we got the glasses."
Prowl sighed and let his mechling down, though he didn't take his optics off him. Nightfire looked at Lennox, trying to get rid of his Sire's protective stare. "Lennox, can we talk?"
Lennox nodded.
Nightfire sighed mentally. My Creators can hate me for not telling them but right now I just need to talk to Lennox.
A/N: So how was that?
