Chapter 4: The autobots
Sam and Bumblebee just stared at each other for a while. She didn't really know what to make of the giant robot.
"So are you here about the cube?" asked Sam
Bumblebee didn't reply but started to shape shift like a big a puzzle, she saw that he was changing form.
"Wow" said Sam stunned at what she witnessed
She now was observing a yellow Camaro with black racing stripes, the passenger door flung open in an inviting way.
"Get in and all will be explained" the car spoke
She knew she could trust the bot now seeing as he saved her life twice and Sam wanted to know what was going on. The door closed behind her by itself and the engine started with no loud, horrible sound. Then slowly the car began to drive forwards towards the house. Samantha suddenly remembered that poppy was inside and for all Sam knew poppy could have seen everything. The large Oak tree maybe a while away from the house but who knows what you can see through the windows.
"Where are we going? That's just a creepy old house" questioned Sam
She would like to think that she was safe but Sam couldn't say that until she knew what was going on. Slowly edging towards it Sam thought they were going to crash in to it but just below the ground floor window the floor opened up to a bright light.
"We're going underground."
Screwing up her face so Sam could take in the light the brown haired girl could just make out a long corridor full of pipes and turns like a maze.
"All out" said bumblebee
Opening the door again Sam jumped out looking at everything even the smallest things. Bumblebee transformed back in to robot mode and started walking away slowly enough for Sam. Her eyes grew bigger as she followed the yellow bot down the corridors, there were doors everywhere no doubt leading somewhere dangerous. Sam noticed there weren't any turns in the route they were taking just a straight line until they finally reached what seemed like the biggest room in existence. Dotted around the room were six other robots, not one did she recognise from before which made everything even more confusing.
"OH MY GOD! "Gasped Sam
Looking at each bot individually with them staring back Sam noted the biggest robot in the room red, blue and silver in colour standing next to what looked like a monitor. The tallest robot stared back at the brunette before finally speaking in a peaceful voice.
"You must be Samantha, please do not be afraid we mean no harm to any living thing that means no harm to us"
Sam didn't really know what to do, she was surprised to know that they seemed to know her perfectly like they had been watching her every minute of every day.
"My name is Optimus prime, We are all from the planet Cybertron, I am the leader of the Autobots and our mission here on Earth is simple: to find the All spark before the decepticons do and make sure that they don't bring any harm to your planet" explained the red and blue bot
Sam needed time to take this all in but she had so many questions to ask. Never in her dull life did she think that she was going to be friends with aliens.
"Okay but what about the decepticons why are they here? Is that the robot who grabbed me earlier? Questioned Sam
Optimus just nodded with a little guilt that Sam got hurt but he slowly turned his head to one of the other bots sitting at the monitor.
"The cons are here to find the All Spark and use its power to destroy all Cybertronian beings that go against their leader and for sure they will use it to destroy planets"
While talking he brought up pictures of all the different decepticons in the world, after a few Samantha noticed a brown bot that looked identical to the one she met outside.
"That is Demolishor, the one that attacked you earlier today, he is the most loyal to Megatron" said Bumblebee from behind her
Sam looked confused as to who this Megatron was but as Bumblebee pointed towards his picture she immediately knew that he hadn't had a laugh in ages. Staring in to his evil eyes Sam suddenly got the shivers before coming to the point of the All Spark.
"So what's this All Spark thingy that all you guys are after"
Everyone again looked at the big monitor and once again a picture was shown but this time of a giant cube with unknown symbols on the sides. Gasping Sam took out the cube inside her pocket.
"You have the cube Samantha and we cannot take it from you as it has chosen you to be its protector" said Optimus
Glaring at the cube in her hands Sam couldn't believe what was going on, her the keeper of the All Spark now that couldn't be right.
"Autobots fall in, young Samantha needs an introduction"
Slowly but one by one they told her their names smiling at her as a sign of friendship. They all had weird names: Red Alert, Wing Saber, Hot shot, scattershot and not forgetting Bumblebee and Optimus Prime but they came from another planet so you couldn't expect something normal.
"Bumblebee will be your guardian and you have to promise not to tell anyone about us, but for now you gotta stay down here decepticons could still be in the forest. If you go down the corridor and then right there is a little lift that takes you up to the house, okay?" explained Scattershot
"That's fine but we may have a slight problem my friend is in that house above us and sooner or later she's going to be wondering where I am."
Scattershot gave Sam a quick nod and smile before she ran off to the elevator he said was near by. Looking all around while running Sam could see the same Symbols that were on the cube, not exactly the same but similar. It seemed to take forever to get to the elevator but considering they were a lot bigger than Sam it would take them a couple of seconds to get there.
Finally reaching the door it opened automatically and on the inside were three buttons pressing the top one the lift started to shudder but calmly went up after a while.
"This obviously hasn't been used before" said Sam
Reaching the house Samantha noticed she was inside the outside shed. Opening the door to reveal the woods all around her and not a machine in sight.
"HEY SAM!" yelled Poppy
Looking to her right Sam saw Poppy running towards her. Reaching her friend Poppy sat on the floor and looked up all out of breath.
"So….. Where….have you been?" asked Poppy
Little did both know that in the trees were camera's watching them belonging to the Autobots.
"Me…. I… I was looking around like you did the last time I saw you" Answered Sam
Frowning Poppy decided to stand up and started to yell at Sam
"I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU, I THOUGHT YOU LEFT ME. I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU FOR 3 HOUR AND A HALF HOURS WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN JUST DISAPPEAR OFF LIKE THAT. I RAN ALL THE WAY TO BIG OAK LOOKING FOR YOU!"
Sam saw that her friend was just a little frustrated from the running. Helping Poppy regain her strength the two hugged each other.
"Let's go home I know that Emily is cooking Fajitas today. Want to join me?" asked Sam smiling at her friend realising that she had the best friend in the world. Nodding in response to the invite the two walked off to Sam's house.
