Hello everybody! Chapter six is here!
Man this is so awesome...everyone likes my story so far!
This is fantastic...!
So anyway this chapter explains Blurr's experience on earth, and if you remember, he has been on earth a very long time.
But how long?
That question will be answered in this!
I own nothing but Robert Witwicky, Tai Witwicky...and Psyche! xD
I am very proud of this chapter in particular for some reason!
So onward and so forth!
Chapter 6
The beginning. Part 1
Blurr saluted.
'OptimusPrime...goodtoseeyouagainsir.'
The mechs were shocked and delighted to see their old friend. But Ironhide looked horrified. Oh great primus above...why him out of all the bots to be here?
'Blurr...hey buddy, you're online!...It's been vorns!' Jazz exclaimed, clapping his old comrade on his shoulder with a bit of a reach.
'We had no idea you were on Earth!' Ratchet was glad to see that Blurr was in excellent condition and health as well.
Optimus beamed with pride...his team felt a little more complete. Not to mention, his spark could rest a little easy now knowing that there might be hope for their race yet. Blurr gently placed Tai back on the ground and stood up to his full height, facing his comrades.
After walking over to Sam, Tai leaned her arm on his shoulder and they both grinned at each other. 'Ahhh...the sweeping majesty of Autobot love.' She sighed in a joking way.
That made Sam burst out laughing. The bots stopped talking and looked down at their two human friends.
Tai wiggled her fingers in a wave as did Sam, both grinning at the same time. Blurr shook his head in amusement as he gave Tai a look. 'Well...Samuelhasgrownverymuchaswell...'
Sam blinked. That's weird...I don't remember meeting this guy before...hmm, maybe I met him before but I just really don't remember...but I think I would remember meeting a giant robot.
'Woo-hoo...Sam, wake up...' Tai was snapping her fingers in his face. He jerked back to attention and to his embarrassment; he found the robots staring at him.
'You were so lost in thought...I was worried you wouldn't come back.' Tai teased him. Bumblebee kneeled down to get a good look at his charge. 'Are you alright Sam?'
'Yeah...I was just thinking of something...like, how did you know my name...? He asked Blurr. 'And how long have you been here, especially if Tai has been with you her whole life...are you talking about recently or when she was a baby?'
At that, everyone turned their heads and gave Blurr a look that clearly asked the same question, all except Tai, who was sitting down on the ground with Psyche's head in her lap.
'WellastowhyIstumbledacrossthisbeautifulplanet...IsensedAllsparkactivity.' He talked so fast that Sam could barely make out what he was saying.
'Butmostunfortunetly,Ialsosenseddecepticonactivityaswell...forsuchapeacefulplanet,ithasonehelluvagravitationalpullandalotofproblems!'
Again, Sam could barely make out what he was saying. How can Tai understand him? But than once he thought about it, Tai pretty much talked like when she had to much coffee, so they were perfectly matched.
As Blurr continued to talk, Sam saw Tai taking off her doodle covered shoe...he was about to ask why she was doing that, but than his question was answered when she lopped it at Blurr.
It hit him right in the side of his head with a clunk, causing him to stop his endless talking and to glance over at his charge with a look of indignity and annoyance.
'Would you just get on with it?' Tai said, now sitting Indian style. Sam glanced back over at Blurr with a look of interest before sitting next to Tai on the ground.
'Ohalrightalright...' He flicked her shoe back at her, making sure it didn't hit her in the face. He than proceeded to tell them everything that happened to him since he had arrived on Earth over forty three years ago, including how he met a teenage Robert Witwicky.
He landed in Tranquility back in 1966. Luckily he landed in some sort of clearing, which was surrounded by trees and plants of all sorts. He knew there was a species called Humans here on this planet and he didn't wish to cause them harm or alarm in anyway.
He was amazed by all the life forms he encountered in that one small area...and the immense beauty of this strange alien planet.
'ThisiswaydifferentthanCybertron...' He muttered to himself. Not knowing what else to do, he scanned the first vehicle he could see...a 1966 Dodge Dart. Not too bad...and luckily for him, it was a bright blue color. After all, the faster it was, the more he liked it.
That was his motto after all.
But most unfortunately, he wasn't alone on this planet. Little did he know, one of his kind was hiding in wait for him...and he wasn't friendly.
Not wanting to get any humans injured or killed, Blurr made sure to lead the 'con to a large open field. Their fight was intense...missiles flying, lasers going off, the sound of metal hitting metal. Blurr was very fast but this particular 'con was stronger and much bigger.
Not one to give up easily, Blurr fought until his systems couldn't fight anymore. Thinking Blurr was offline, the 'con left him there without even thinking twice to check for any signs of life.
As soon as the 'con was as faraway as he could be...Blurr pushed himself up from the ground, coughing up energon that was clogging his throat pipes.
He was badly damaged...energon was leaking from what looked like every part of him...he really wished Ratchet or Red Alert or even the clumsy Wheeljack were here to help him but he was alone.
Fighting to stay online, he managed to transform into his car mode, which was badly dented and scratched, and he drove down a stretch of road until his systems finally couldn't take it anymore...he went offline.
When he came too, he was stuck in his car mode...in fact, he felt like he couldn't move at all. That frightened him more than anything...he was Blurr, the fastest bot alive...this couldn't be happening. But than, he realized he was stuck between two very large and heavy piles of scrap metal. Relief flooded through his circuitry, but than he realized he still couldn't move...he tried wiggling but it did nothing.
'Ohfragitall...' He muttered angrily. Giving up, he finally got a look around at where he was. His spark sank.
All he saw were piles and piles of rusty cars...stacked on top of each other, their windshields smashed, and their doors bashed in...some of them were almost completely flat. And of course, he was facing a car compactor.
Had he gone completely offline and he didn't know about it? But what did he do to deserve to end up in the Pit?
Just when all hope for him seemed lost, he than heard two voices...two young, male voices bickering at one another.
'Why are we in a junkyard Rob?!' One of the voices complained. 'When Dad said 'used car', I'm sure he didn't mean a hunk of overused junk!'
'Now come on Ron, I bet underneath all this stuff is an amazing creation of Chevy or Chrysler or Dodge just waiting to take home and fix up!' The other voice sounded excited.
'Fine but this was your idea, so it's your car...not mine!'
Blurr than saw two humans come into his line of vision...he couldn't believe his optics. 'That'conmust'vehitmycranialunitharderthanIthought...' He thought to himself. He was seeing double, these two humans looked exactly alike.
Could they be twins...just like Sideswipe and Sunstreaker? But even they looked different from one another. These humans were almost identical. They both had lightly colored curly hair and the same facial features. The only difference seemed to be there eyes...and their personalities...like Sunny and Sides.
The one on the left looked annoyed and impatient while the one on the right looked excited and very kind.
'Remember Ron, in the words of our Great-great grandfather...'No Sacrifice, no Victory.'
'Yeah, yeah...the old Witwicky motto...I get it...but seriously, why here?'
'Like I said...' The kind one put an arm around the impatient ones shoulders. 'Amazing creations...just waiting to be discovered!'
Blurr had to think fast...faster than he normally did. These humans had to see him! He needed to get out of this place! So with no other option, he blasted his horn...causing the piles of scrap metal to fall off of him.
The two teens jumped and looked around in alarm. 'What the hell was that!?' The impatient asked his voice suddenly higher.
'Well obviously it was a car horn...' The kind one replied with a smirk. The impatient one glared at his brother.
'Well I don't know about you...but I'm getting outta here, smartass...' Than he took off running without waiting for a reply.
'Big baby...' The kind one muttered, rolling his eyes.
Blurr remained hopeful that this human wouldn't run off. 'Pleasedon'tleaveme...pleasestay!' He had begged, but apparently it was out loud. The kind human's eye widened and he leaned forward. 'That's funny...I thought it just talked to me...huh, odd...'
Internally, Blurr winced. Nice going you slagtard...you just blew it! But before he could begin to lose hope completely, the human didn't run away...but came closer.
'Wow...what's a nice ride like you doing in a place like this?' The human asked as he looked him over, noticing all the dents and scratches. 'You got pretty banged up didn't you? No biggie...some good old quality elbow grease and paint, you should be good as new...maybe even better.'
Blurr was so relieved to hear that, that without thinking, turned on his radio and started playing a happy tune.
The human looked slightly taken aback. 'And apparently your wiring is a bit off....' He scratched his head. 'But like I said, no biggie...a friend of mine can help with that.'
He was so busy talking, he had failed to notice a group of very aggressive looking humans approaching him from behind, brandishing some very sharp and deadly looking weapons. Blurr started to panic, whoever these humans were, they were intending to harm this kind human.
'Hey Witlickity...' One of them drawled, smacking a large chain into his other hand.
'It's Witwicky.' The kind human answered back, looking and sounding incredibly annoyed.
'What do you want Elroy?'
The human glared. 'The names Roy...' The others nodded in agreement with their leader. That strongly reminded Blurr of Megatron and the other decepticons.
'And you know what I want...I want you to stay away from my girlfriend.'
'I told you before...Rowan and I are just friends.' The kind human started backing up nervously.
'Not for long...' The other humans pulled out some very sharp weapons and started advancing toward the Witwicky boy.
Blurr watched helplessly as the kind human suddenly tripped backwards, rending him helpless. He had to do something...those humans looked ready to kill. 'Comeone...stupidtransformingmechanism...' He than felt it unstuck and than with energy he didn't know he had, transformed into his true form....his huge cannon pulsating.
The humans dropped stop moving. Blurr stepped over the kind human carefully and stood right in front of the aggressive ones.
'Dropyourweaponsorseeyourselfasspacedust...' Luckily, they got the message and took of running, screaming something about an alien invasion.
Blurr than transformed his cannon back into his arm and turned to the kind human, who had gotten up from the ground...he looked nervous and scared...but he didn't look like he was going to run.
Blurr than kneeled down with a hiss of discomfort from his hydraulics and gazed at the human with nervous optics. 'Pleasedonotbealarmed...' He said in what he hoped was a soothing voice. 'Areyouinjured?'
The boy shook his head as he continued to stare up at the giant robot. 'Who...what are you?' The human stuttered, walking closer to Blurr.
'I'manautomisroboticorganismfromtheplanetCybertron...mynameisBlurr.' Hopefully the human understood him.
The human gave him a look of confusion but than understanding dawned on his face.
'Your name is Blurr...that's a cool name...my names Robert Samuel Witwicky...but everyone calls me Rob...'
'It's...it'sreallynice...tomeetyou...Rob.' Blurr could feel himself getting weaker and weaker.
'Are you alright?' Rob asked, placing his hand on Blurr's big metal arm.
'I...needtorecharge...pleasedon'tleavemeheretorust...' Blurr begged the worried human, his form shaking. He hated showing than folded back into the Dart, he heard approaching humans closing in.
'I won't leave you Blurr.' Rob Witwicky promised. 'I'll take care of you.'
Than everything went black.
He didn't know how long he was in stasis lock but when he came too he was no longer in that horrible place...but in a warm, comfortable building which smelled like motor oil and metal. His two favorite smells...it reminded him of home.
Than he noticed all the pain he was in earlier...was gone...completely gone.
After looking around, he saw Robert Witwicky, recharging in a chair. He sounded like he was muttering to himself.
'RobertWitwicky?' He asked
The young human jerked awake and looked around.
'Huh...who dat...what?' He glanced over at Blurr with sleep filled eyes and rubbed at them.
'Oh finally...you're awake!' He got up, made sure that none of his family was anywhere near his garage...they were all out from the looks of it...and walked over to the Dart's side. 'I was getting worried...you've been out for a while.'
'Howlong?' Blurr asked in alarm.
'About two months...but don't worry, I fixed you up!' Rob looked very pleased with himself. 'You're as good as new!'
'Isthisbuildingbigenoughformetotransformin?' He asked, he really wanted to get a look at himself.
'Uhh...possibly, but you might want to squat...'
Blurr than transformed into his original form, being careful to do what the human told him to do. Rob whistled in astonishment.
'That is just neato-keen...every time...' He murmured with an awestruck look.
Blurr looked himself over and couldn't believe his optics...this human had completely repaired him and had even given him a new paintjob...the same bright electric blue he was before. 'ThankyouRobertWitwicky.' He said with appreciation.
'Please call me Rob...' Rob said with a laugh 'And no problem, it's the least I can do...you know, I never got to thank you for saving my life back there...those guys haven't come near me since...and his girlfriend dumped him and is with me now...so thank you double time.'
Blurr's faceplates stretched into a smile.
'Youaremostwelcomemyfriend...' He held out a large, metal digit to his new human friend. Rob reached up and shook it with a laugh. It was than he knew he made the right decision to go to the junkyard.
It was the beginning a beautiful, and long lasting friendship.
Blurr and Robert Witwicky became almost inseparable after that fateful day. Blurr was there when he graduated high school, when he graduated college, when he landed that amazing new job managing a auto dealership...and he was even there the day his human finally asked his long time girlfriend to be his bondmate, or wife, as the humans called it.
Her name was Rowan Tatyana Murphy...and she was very beautiful by human standards; petite and fit, with long dark brown hair and bright green eyes.
At first Blurr was worried that Rob would choose her over him if she didn't accept him, but luckily, she did. In fact, she thought he was 'magnificent'.
The day of the wedding, Blurr had managed to watch the beautiful affair from behind a thick brush of trees, he couldn't help but smile proudly.
They both looked so happy and in love with one another that the sight would've even melted Ironhides spark...Blurr chuckled at the thought of the gruff weapons specialist sniffling and wiping his optics with a giant handkerchief.
Rob looked up discreetly in his direction and gave him a smile...Blurr returned it along with a thumbs up.
Rob's twin brother, Ron and his new wife, Judy, stood by them completely unaware that a giant, alien robot was watching in secret...luckily, Rob did not tell Ron about Blurr, which was a huge relief.
But what was really fascinating was when Rob and Rowan announced that they were expecting.
Blurr tilted his head in immense confusion. 'Whatorwhoareyouexpecting?' He asked. 'Companyorsomething?'
They both laughed and explained what they really meant. Blurr than understood...Rowan was what humans called pregnant.
Now him being a autobot, he knew of sparklings and how they were created...they were built and than the 'parental unit' would program the spark. But with humans it was a different story completely...the baby grew inside of the mother's stomach. It really was fascinating to say the least.
Blurr couldn't even remember the last sparkling he had come in contact with...except fot Bumblebee. But he knew by now that the young mech was now one of the best scouts the Autobot's has seen in vorns.
So all in all, he was very excited for his human friends.
Over the next few months, Blurr watched with fascination as Rowan's middle got rounder and rounder. What he didn't understand was...How did the baby get in there? When he asked her how it did get in there...she just blushed and said she'd tell him when he was older.
That just confused him even more.
Whenever Rob was in the garage, giving him a wash...all he would talk about was how he hoped he would be a good daddy and how he hoped for a boy...and how Rowan hoped for a girl. Or both. He also mentioned that his brother, Ron, and his wife just had a little boy, who they named Samuel James.
Blurr would only chuckle as he sat by and listened.
But as the big due date approached, Rowan started getting sick...she insisted she was fine, it was just stress but both Rob and Blurr couldn't help but worry about her. And their worry was not in vain...Rob had carpooled to work with a friend of his so Blurr could keep an eye on her.
Blurr watched as she entered the kitchen...than she fell over, a puddle of water surrounding her. He gasped out and quickly used his networking to dial 911...hoping to Primus it wasn't to late.
He than called Rob and told him that he was on his way. He watched as the ambulance came and loaded her up so quickly, it would've impressed Ratchet.
After the ambulance peeled away, he sped off quickly to go pick up Rob...he was very happy for his immense speed.
But by the time, they had arrived at the hospital...it was too late. Rowan had passed away during an emergency c-section...if they didn't, they would've lost them both...the baby and Rowan. So while Rowan was still conscious, she picked that they save the baby...so it could have a life.
If Blurr was in his true form...he would most definitely have energon tears leaking from both of his optics.
With his excellent vision, he saw Rob kneeling on the floor...and by the shaking of his shoulders, he was sobbing. All Blurr wanted to do was comfort his human friend...but he couldn't at this point in time.
But what about the baby? Was it alright?
But than to Blurr's immense relief, he saw a doctor kneel down by him and tell him that the baby had survived.
It was a beautiful baby girl.
A look of relief and joy crossed over Rob's face as he stood shakily to go see his baby daughter.
Than all Blurr could do was wait out in the parking lot...somewhat impatiently. He was sparkbroken over the loss of Rowan, but he had to be strong for Rob...he was his guardian, it was his job.
But he couldn't help but worry over the baby girl...he hoped for Rob's sake she would be ok.
Fate seemed to be on there side however...the baby was perfectly healthy. Rob and Blurr couldn't have been more relieved.
After two more weeks in the hospital, they were able to take her home. It felt weird to go back to the house, knowing Rowan won't be there.
But they had to move on past the grief and think that if she hadn't made her selfless decision, the baby wouldn't have lived.
So she had not died in vain.
Robert Witwicky and Blurr drove to spot over looking the city...Rob sitting on Blurr's knee, cradling his two week old daughter, who was wrapped up in the pink blanket that Rowan had made for her.
Blurr, who was in robot form, gazed down at the human sparkling with amazement and compassion.
She was beautiful...but she was so tiny and fragile.
'Rob...youdon'tblameherforRowan'sofflining, doyou?' He asked fearfully. He had heard about how some human father's who had lost their wives during childbirth end up hating the helpless sparkling.
'No! Of course not...I vowed to be a good daddy...I just wish my wife was here...I miss her so much, but she wouldn't want me to blame our baby.' He said, gently stroking the baby's cheek. 'It wasn't her fault.'
Blurr's large form visibly relaxed.
'That'sahugereliefRob...andIhopeyouknowIwillhelpyouraiseher...' He once again gazed down at the small human girl. Than with amazing gentleness, he took the very tiny hand in his large metal one...watching as the tiny fingers squeezed the digit with amazing strength. Her hand was very soft and warm against his rough battle worn fingers. Than the baby girl opened her amazing blue eyes and stared up at the giant robot...she than cooed up at him.
He felt his spark swell at the sight and sound of her.
'What is her designation?' He than asked softly, still holding the tiny hand with his finger.
Rob smiled before giving his baby daughter a kiss on her soft hair...he had picked a special name for her.
'Tatyana...Tatyana Topaz Witwicky.'
Whew! Done and done!
That was longer than I thought it would be!
But here you go!
Review!
