AN: Hi. I have been busy for trying to fix my mistakes on my other stories. Luckily only one story remains to be fixed before I can continue on others.
I decided to write this now because Season 3 is coming. Of course, I still want to know what will happen in it, but I at least try put these too here. Yeah, I'm adding Season 2.5 here too.
Let's roll out!
It's been some time now, since Decepticon island case. Everything has been calm since then. Bumblebee and Elena has shown some place of Earth to the team, but there has been small 'but'
Ever since Optimus left with Windblade, Ratchet and all the mini-cons from Alchemor, Elena has been down, again. Stars knew it was different compared to the first one since they learned that she really wasn't sad if not disappointed. But this one was for sure she was down. Why? They didn't know.
She hasn't talked about it. Every time someone tried to ask her, she walked away. Others had the feeling it had something to do with Decepticon island, but how they didn't know how or why.
In this particular day, Bumblebee was looking for Elena and find her reading books where Denny kept them.
"Elena, Can I ask you something?" Bumblebee asked.
"What?" she said while kept reading the book.
"I'm going to take my team somewhere special. You want to come along with Stars?"
"Where exactly?" she asked while still kept reading.
"Jasper."
Hearing that word Elena closed the book and looked at Bumblebee.
"Jasper? As in Jasper in Nevada?" she asked. Bumblebee smiled to her showing that her guess is right. "Give me ten minutes...No, fifteen. I need to get ready." she said and run to her trailer to change
Bumblebee smiled at her reaction. She may be down, but if she gets something else to think about, it should cheer her up a bit. And what could be a better way then go watch old familiar places like in Jasper Nevada.
"GroundBridge controls set to your requested coordinates, Lieutenant Bumblebee." Fixit informed while team arrives at the command center.
"Thank you, Fixit. Time to move out for stop number 41 on Bumblebee's Titanic Tour of Earth."
"41?" Elena asked, while arrived. "Where you guys have been?"
"Around the world." Bumblebee joked.
"What's with the outfit?" Grimlock asked. Elena was wearing a white shirt with a black vest with jeans.
"I just wanted to dress like this. We are coming with you."
"We are?" FlameStar asked.
"Yes. This place is something you all should see." Elena said.
"Oh, how I wish I could go with you. You've visited so many amazing places. Waterfalls, pyramids, that adorable tilted building in the land humans call Italy."
"You've missed exactly zotz, Fixit. Since we took down Decepticon Island, we've just been looking at stuff, most of it old."
"HEY! Watch the words with D.I." FlameStar said.
"D.I?"
"Decepticon island" FlameStar whispered. "Since we don't know what happened there, we decided not to mention it front of her," she said while looked on Elena, who luckily didn't hear them.
"Besides, old stuff can be important and history is interesting."
"Yeah, history. When everything was slow. Like Strongarm. Ow!" Sideswipe said before Strongarm hit him.
"How's that for slow, punk?"
"Seriously..." FlameStar asked while looked annoyed.
Fixit prepared the Groundbridge to open.
"This tour stop is special, team. I think you're really gonna get a kick out of it." Bumblebee said.
"We get to kick something?" Grimlock asked excitedly.
"No, we just…. You…. All right, just come on." Bumblebee said before they all passed through to where it took them.
"Of all the tour stops you've taken us to, no question, this is the worst," Sideswipe complained when they arrived to empty hangar.
"You have teleported us to a human military base?" asked Drift.
"Oh! We'll be discovered any minute. Lieutenant, you have blown our cover on Earth." Strongarm said.
"Well, only if they use this..."Elena teased.
"Elder sister!"
"Fixit, the Lieutenant has compromised our cover. Open a GroundBridge portal and bring us back" Strongarm called.
"Belay that, Fixit, everything is fine here. Out." Bumblebee called quickly and managed to cancel the bridge. "Just relax, Autobots. What do you notice about this place?"
The team looked around until Strongarm made the first note.
"There's a concentrated layer of atmospheric particles on all of the furniture in here, as though none of it has been used for an extended period of time," Strongarm noted.
"Dusty, right. What else?" Bumblebee asked
"Should we count that elder sister acts weird here?" GaiaStar asked and point on Elena, who was looking around excitedly.
"No"
"Um…., whoever used this place had a terrible taste in really old furniture?" Grimlock said
"Hey! I mean… they possibly didn't have a time for shopping new one, when they had to get other things." Elena said. Stars looked at her confusedly. Is she hiding something?
"There is nothing but old furniture here. It has been stripped of personal items and any equipment of value." Drift realized.
"In other words, I think this place was abandoned." Strongarm. said for the conclusion.
"It's abandoned now." cleared Bumblebee. Then they all left outside, where they spot old vehicles.
"All right, let's scan that Jeep for some desert camouflage, just in case." Bumblebee said before scanned first.
"What about me?" Grimlock asked. Obviously, since he didn't transform into a vehicle, he didn't need a camouflage.
"Grimlock, if anyone asks, you're a big green metal robot from outer space that can turn into a dinosaur."
"Gotcha! Hope I can remember that."
"What about us?" asked YoungStar.
"We don't need anything," Elena said. "Just keep your watches ready. And if someone asks, I handle the talking."
"I hope you have good cover for us," AshStar said.
"Don't worry. It could be that we don't need it." Elena said.
Soon all the 'bots had their new paint-job done. By what they managed to see the area wasn't longer in use for now. Bee leads them outside where from the horizon they spot ruins of Omega one base.
"Sir, are we where I think we are?" Strongarm asked after realizing where they were.
"The Autobot base Omega one!" AquaStar squealed.
"No wonder you were so excited, big sis," GaiaStar said to Elena.
"Yeah, in the middle of a bunch of abandoned buildings. My mind is totally blown by how historically significant this is."
"This is significant. This is the base that Optimus Prime, Lieutenant Bumblebee and their team used in their battles against Megatron, Starscream…"
"Yeah, I don't need a history lesson. 'Then' doesn't matter, just 'now', and 'now' the place doesn't look like much."
"Watch your mouth! This is the place where elder sister met others and became Star and later Star Supreme." FlameStar said.
"There is saying here on Earth. That knowing history helps us go forward." Elena said. "Without it, we will end doing same mistakes all over again."
"I'm surprised there aren't any humans digging here," YoungStar said.
"Eh, the humans didn't get anything of Cybertronian importance from the base. We put those things in the subterranean levels, which we never even told them about For their own safety. We sealed those floors uptight before we left."
"Can we take a closer look?"
"Without deactivating from boredom? Doubt it."
"Show some respect, Sideswipe. This is practically hallowed ground for Cybertronians."
"Thank you," Elena said.
"Yeah. Well, let's check out the old clubhouse. All right, let's rev up and roll out!" Bumblebee shout before transformed and took Elena and 'youngStar inside. In this, each bot transformed into their vehicle and dinosaur form and took their Star with them.
Soon as they arrived they find the way to the old base.
"Ah, the adventures we had here. Oh. Stay alerted, just in case any defense systems we installed are still running Humans wouldn't have triggered them. We attuned the defenses only to Bots. Those defenses got quite a workout this one time we were attacked by Decepticons. I remember hiding in a pile of scrap armor on a lower level and surprising two of them when they came by. Man, lots of great hiding places down there." Bee laughed. "Oh. And that time Bulkhead challenged me to arm wrestle? We nearly destroyed two floors of the base. Ah, good times."
"Yeah. I remember that. I also remember Ratchet yelling, when Bulk landed on his desk. 'BULKHEAD, I NEEDED THAT!' Ah! memories..."
"Was there else you remember, sis?" YoungStar asked.
"Well, up there we had Star computer. And there use to be elevator how we got up. Oh, and there I hang out with our human friends."
"You should consider writing a memoir of those days, sir," Strongarm said.
"Well, I did keep a holo-diary back when I was younger, but I decided it was silly and gave it up. Anyway, the artifacts still in this base should be preserved for future generations. Actually, now that I think about it, this whole planet is littered with remnants of Cybertronian battles and adventures."
"Without Decepticons to face, maybe our next mission should be collecting those," Strongarm suggested.
"A cybertronian archaeological findings? Well, back then we did once found one artifact from Greece and Well, there were also Iacon artifacts. Who knows, maybe there still are some items here." Elena said.
"I bet we could find some historically important fur at that place where I stare down that cat that one time," Grimlock said.
"I don't think there will be fur there. But I did get a picture of that." GaiaStar said.
"Uh, Bee, is that supposed to be part of the base?"
"It doesn't look familiar. Let's give it a visual recon. Girls, stay safe just in case."
"Got it," they said before they took cover on platforms, while bots went to check it. But without knowing they by accident activated security system, which created the force field around them.
"One of your security measures," FlameStar asked.
"Yeah. We should duck." Elena said.
"Where?" Gaia asked.
"I meant; We need to get down," Elena said.
"Why?" Ash asked.
"Because of those," Elena said and point drones that started to shoot. In this, all girls stayed low.
"Aren't these suppose to recognize us as Autobots?" Aqua asked.
"Before yes. But then, when Wheeljack came to visit, cons captured him and disguise one of them as him to get inside the base to let the rest inside to kill us all. So, they reset the security."
"Makes sense." Flame said.
It took some time before 'bot managed to handle the security system and Bumblebee called to Fixit.
"Bumblebee to Fixit: We're in proximity to an unknown Cybertronian device. Can you scan it?"
"I can, Lieutenant. The device is an expensive-Corrosive-Explosive. But its construction is unusual. It appears cobble-cobble-cobble-cobble Assembled from various Cybertronian parts. I'm unable to determine how powerful the bomb is."
"Study its detonation mechanism, Fixit. Find us a way to turn it off. Bumblebee out."
"We could just dig it up and destroy it, sir," Strongarm suggested.
"Ah, that could set off the explosive. And we just don't know. It could be powerful enough to destroy the base and that active military installation by the mountains.
"No...How could someone do that?" Elena said.
"So we simply remain here while Fixit conducts his research?"
"No. Whoever set this bomb may still be around. Drift, Slipstream, and Jetstorm search that way. Grimlock and Strongarm, head that direction. Sideswipe, with me. Girls, stay if something happens." Bumblebee said before they moved on.
"Well, girls, time to suit up!" Elena said. In this Young, Flame, Aqua, Gaia and Ash activated their watches and got their guardian outfits. Elena however, when she was about to activate hers, she stopped and didn't do it.
"Elder sister, what's wrong?" Ash asked.
"It's...nothing," Elena said and looked down. In her hand, she still had the bracelet she got from Steeljaw. But she couldn't tell them what happened in Decepticon island. What would they think of her?
"Sis?"
"I'm fine. Let's be ready."
"What about you?" Flame asked.
"If there will be something I will be ready."
For a little while, nothing happened. Well, they hoped nothing will but they soon heard someone coming and by footsteps, it didn't sound to be any of their friends. They all hide on ruins to see who it was. From the entrance, there came huge purple scorpion and red mini-con. None of them wasn't sure who they were, but as Stars, they could sense something different about that mini-con.
The mini-con jump off from scorpion before it transformed into Decepticon.
"Didn't we handle all the cons?" Ash asked.
"I don't think he is from Alchemor. While I was there I managed to read entire prisoner manifest and I never saw him on the list." Elena said.
"Who he is then?" Young wondered.
Meanwhile, the con finds some kind of old weapon among the ruins.
"Oh, what a find. And it's still operational. I'm going to be known all over the galaxy!" con said while holding the weapon.
"Yeah, as a burnt circuit," Sideswipe said while came forward.
"What, am I supposed to be impressed, Autobot? I already defeated you once." the 'con said.
"You got lucky. You won't this time. I've got 'em cornered. Come running, Bumble..." Sideswipe tried to call others, but right then, there was an explosion that shook everything around the area. In this, the ruins where Stars were crumbled and they fell down. "Bee?" Sideswipe feared the possible result. Did everyone got hurt because of the bomb?
"Yes! All hail Paralon, slayer of Autobots!"
"You WHAT?!" heard a loud angry shout. Right then out of rubble stoke light and there came out Elena in her new cybertronian form and Flame surrounded by fire. "So, you are responsible for this? You dare disgrace this hallowed place by setting a bomb, steal our property and killing my friends! You shall be punished by your ignorance."
"Who you think you are. We Salvages, take what we want and no one won't deny it from us." Paralon said.
"SILENCE!" Elena shouts in her high Star supreme voice, in which earth shook under them. "I'm Elena Star Supreme, Daughter of Optimus Prime. And you had just condemned all likes of you as criminals. And my Stars and I make sure that will be so."
Mini-con was surprised to hear that. Is this femme a Star Supreme?
"Come and try," Paralon said and blast on her direction, but she managed to dodge away. While Flame went check on Sideswipe.
"Sideswipe?"
"If my team is gone, the least I can do is make sure he won't get what he wants," Sideswipe said and charged at him.
"Buzzstrike, do something!" Paralon command while tried aim on Elena but she still managed to dodge every time, until Sideswipe jumps high and kick Paralon to lose hold of the weapon.
"Not up for a rematch? Ha! Later, shorty." Sideswipe said and took hold of Elena before they along with Flame head onto the entrance.
"Hey! I not done with that guy." Elena complained.
"Well, you don't know what he could do? He knocked out Bee and others."
"Let's hope girls will wake up and go find out did they make it." Flame said.
"Wake up?"
"We managed to dodge most of them, but they got few hits. But nothing serious."
"So, What now?" Elena asked.
"They're gonna be after us in half a picosec. Where can we...? History."
"Huh?" said both Elena and Flame.
All three were hiding on the lower level. Now that it had also rubble it holds more hiding places than those Bee used back then. They waited till the con came for them with his mini-con.
"How many levels does this pathetic base have?"
"Hey, show some respect," Sideswipe said and came out from the hiding with Elena and Flame.
"This 'pathetic' base happens to be my first home as a Cybertronian," Elena yelled while summoned her staff to fight. Both of them gave quite challenge to Paralon until Sideswipe gave the final kick to knock him out.
"Don't you know this base is historically significant?" Sideswipe said. Right then mini-con took hold of his host's body and raise him up, while he was unconscious. "Okay. Freaky."
"You can keep the weapon we found, Autobot if you let us walk out of here." said the mini-con.
"How about if I keep the weapon and take you down? Because that's the only way this ends."
"Sideswipe!" Elena said.
But Sideswipe didn't listen. When mini-con charged by his host's body, Sideswipe did the same, but mini-con managed to defeat him and also knock him out.
"Sideswipe!" Flame yelled and went to him. "Why you..." she growled, before the fire that surrounded her and turned into a dragon. Surrounded by the fire she started to have scales on her face and fangs on her teeth. She was about to charged before Elena came between.
"Stop, Flame," she said to her before looked at the mini-con. "What is your name, mini-con?"
Mini-con remained quiet since he wasn't sure should he trust them. But she did tell her name was Star Supreme. And what he and others had learned, Star Supreme is one that leads the Stars to guide everyone wisely. And by what they heard 'him' say, her element is love. Does that mean she is good? It's one way to try.
"Buzzstrike." he answered.
"Buzzstrike, you asked if we let you go, will you do it, without the weapon?"
"Yes."
"Then you have my word. Go and never come rob this place." Elena said.
In this mini-con lead his host's body away until they were out there.
"Why you did that?" Flame asked while returned back to normal.
"That mini-con didn't seem to be crazy as the con was. Plus, I think I saw him look bit scared and sad."
"Sad? why?"
"I don't know..." Elena said.
Right then, Strongarm finds them. She came close to check Sideswipe.
"Strongarm? Hey, you're not all blown up."
"Huh? Oh, oh, the bomb. No, everyone's okay. Where's the Decepticon?"
"I don't know. He had me. Why didn't he finish me off? And why didn't he take this?"
"I made a deal with the mini-con," Elena said. Both of them looked surprised at her. "I asked that if he truly leaves with his crazy friend without weapon we let them as long they won't come back to steal here."
"Since when you started to make deal with cons?" Sideswipe said.
"Sometimes there's more than meets the eye. That includes with cons." Elena said.
"Where you learned that?" Flame asked.
"Nevermind let's go check others," Elena said and started to leave.
Others remind confused by what she said. Where did she learn that?
Soon everyone was back in the old command center in ruins of Omega one base. Young, Aqua, Gaia and Ash had bumps on their heads, but nothing serious. Others were well too.
"So you found those lower-level hiding spots I told you about, huh?" Bumblebee asked. "I guess history came in handy after all."
"Well, maybe a little," Sideswipe admitted.
"Bumblebee to Fixit. Can you read me?"
"Clear as a smell Gel Bell, Lieutenant."
"Well, it's good to hear your voice again, Fixit. Are you reading any Decepticon signals in our area?" Bumblebee asked.
"Negative. The coast is sheer Steer..."
"Very good, Fixit. We'll get back to you."
"Speaking of history, that reminds me. I found this while I was hiding." Sideswipe said and showed the device he found.
"I don't remember seeing that When I got here," Elena said.
"Oh, uh, yeah, you better... Just give that to me, Sideswipe. It's a historical artifact, it could be delicate…."
Right then, Sideswipe activated it and it turns out to be a holo-diary and it holds a video of Bumblebee doing an exercise while wearing a sweatband and all. Others started to laugh, while Stars remained quiet with eyes and mouth wide open. Elena covered her eyes.
"Bee, is this you? Are you... Are you waving your leg for help?" Sideswipe laughed.
"Sideswipe, that's my diary, okay? And exercise videos, they were very popular on Earth in those days, I thought maybe I'd make one for Cybertronians."
"Is that true, big sis?" Gaia asked.
"Yeah. I wasn't born back then, but my human parents had pictures of that time. People were just getting into the dancing and exercise. In that time, everyone had such an outfit like they are going for dancing or exercise. " Elena explained.
"Most undignified. But highly amusing." Drift said.
"Sideswipe, give it Seriously, give it."
"What's the matter? Not so crazy about history now, are ya?" Sideswipe said before transformed and left and Bumblebee followed him while others remained laughing.
REVIEWS, PLSS ^^
AN: finally done. I like bit how this turned out. But like I said I want to make others, but I also want to know what new Season holds. Well, can't help it.
