Chapter 12
In the base the unidentified femme bot was lying on the medical bed with Red Alert watching over her. Optimus was waiting in the control room waiting to hear from Red Alert about the femme bots health, while everyone else was still out searching for Sam. Red Alert peeked his head around the door, separating the medical bay and control room, and signalled Optimus so that he could come in. As Prime entered he saw the femme hooked up to wires that were putting energon back in to her system and keeping an eye on her vital signs.
"How is she Red Alert?" he asked
"I'm afraid it doesn't look good Optimus, she really did put everything in to that fight with Megatron, she is very weak if we didn't bring her back here then she might not be alive"
Optimus was worried about the femme although he doesn't know her but she seems to be on the Autobots side due to the fact that she was fighting Megatron.
"We must be cautious with her"
"Optimus… could there be a chance that she knows where Sam could be. I mean Hot Shot said"
Red Alert didn't carry on. He could see that Optimus was thinking.
"Maybe we should ask Hot Shot again about how he knew Sam was at the decepticon base"
Red Alert nodded his head in agreement just as Optimus made his way over to the controls to call all the Autobots home.
A couple of minutes later and every one was back ready to hear what their leader had to say.
"Hot Shot how did you know where Sam was?"
Everyone turned to look at Hot Shot at the back of the room.
"I was driving along the main road looking for Sam and I…" Hot Shot was interrupted by Wing Saber
"You mean you were racing along the main road way too fast to be looking for Sam"
Wing Saber smiled as Hot Shot got annoyed with his attitude.
"A young girl stepped out on to the road trying to get my attention and when I stopped she said that she needed my help, that Sam was at con base" he explained
While they were talking the femme awoke, she looked around to see where she was.
"Ouch my head"
Scattershot heard her and walked in
"I'd be careful you got severely hurt we were surprised to see you were still alive"
She looked at him and all the others as they walked in
Wing Saber didn't trust her so he took the battle stance ready for a fight
"You guys look really worried, whatever about?" he asked
Optimus stepped forward to her
"We are looking for our human friend, Sam, she went looking for her mother and has now disappeared we were wondering if you knew where she was"
She was quite surprised at the way she could see they were all really worried about Sam.
"Wow, I…I didn't think you guys cared"
"Just shut up and tell us where she is" shouted Wing Saber
Just as he was about to point a blade at her Bumblebee stepped in front of him to defend her he started to talk with the radio again to explain his actions
"Listen, she don't mean no harm"
As he turned around the femme looked at bee in a soft way.
"Bumblebee what are you doing this femme might know where Sam is" complained Wing Saber
Bumblebee just walked over to the femme and hugged her while helping her up
"Excuse me Wing Saber but this femme is Sam" she stated
Everyone stared at her in shock it didn't seem possible but Scattershot seemed to accept it first. He carefully stepped towards her looking deeply in to her optics. They bright blue just how he remembered Sam's. He leaned in a hugged her tight.
"It is Sam" He said
At that moment they all gathered round hugging her one by one even Optimus gave her a little hug but when it came round to Wing Saber he refused to believe it was her.
"How do we know this is Sam?"
She just put her hand on his shoulder and smiled
"It is me, would you like me to try and fly again you know it will end up with me crashing in to something"
Wing Saber seemed shocked to see that this femme bot knew about that but that's all he needed to trust her.
"So what happened to you" asked Hot Shot
"Well when I went looking for my mum I remembered that I saw Megatron that night of the explosion so I used my powers that I didn't know I had to find the decepticon base. When I got there I came across a lot of decepticons which did something because I transformed so I fought them all off easily. When I got to the control I found my mum chained up so I made a deal with Megatron. He could have me in exchange for my mum but I guess you know that he never would honour his agreement." She explained
She sat back down on the medical bed as everyone wondered about her powers. But as she sat comfortably Sam started to feel dizzy when she looked up at everyone she saw them start to grow bigger and bigger.
"Hey do you guys know you're getting bigger?" Sam asked
Each of them looked at each other and then at Sam before long they saw something that dazed their eyes. Sam had turned back into a human, she looked down at her hands to see them covered in scratches and bruises.
"You know if I go home with this many scratches and bruises then questions will be asked"
Scattershot opened up his data banks, he looked at the file Red Alert recently created to keep track of Sam's progress.
"I think with the right amount of concentration you could probably hide or maybe even get rid of those marks" he suggested
Sam was very confused at what he was suggesting but it seemed a bit too complex for her to handle
"We might want to think about that Scattershot" Red Alert gathered everyone's attention "As far as we know Sam can hunt any signature whether it be human or Cybertronian, she can uncontrollably fly and transform in to one of us"
"What's your point Red Alert" asked Wing Saber
"My point is that if we rush in to this and make the All Spark do something that it's not ready for then who knows what might happen to Sam, we need to take it easy and develop her powers before forcing something out"
An argument went down between Red Alert and Wing Saber about what should be done, all the while Optimus had to think about how they were going to take this. He was about to ask Sam what she would be willing to do but as he turned to where she was seated he noticed that Sam had disappeared.
"Autobots quiet" silence fell upon the medical bay "Sam's gone, we need to find her and quickly"
Scattershot ran in to the control and scanned the area looking for high energy readings but nothing, so he scanned the nearest half of the city but still nothing. Hot Shot, Red Alert and Optimus went to search the base while Wing Saber and Bumblebee went outside to look. Once they were outside they transformed in to robot form to start searching the woods but before they could start they heard sobbing from behind them.
Turning round Wing Saber and Bee spotted Sam sitting on the roof of the old house, her head was buried between her legs as she cried. Wing Saber was about to com link in to the base that they had found her but something was jamming the signal.
"Huh"
Bumblebee lightly tapped her shoulder and she immediately looked up at both of them.
"Suppose you'll be wanting to know I can control my flying now and that I can jam transmissions and signals" she sniffed
Bee nodded at Wing Saber before transforming and heading back down to base. Wing Saber on the other hand stood with Sam.
"You don't have to go along with everything you know Sam, the All Spark is a big thing to all of us. If we can finally defeat the decepticons then we were going to use the All Spark to rebuild our planet"
"It's not that I don't want to help you guys or any of that but I don't want to be the one that causes too much trouble"
Sam had stopped crying and knew she had to go back.
"We better get back down there" he said
"No problem, just stand still" Sam smiled
Within a second a blue light gathered around both of them and gradually started to get brighter until suddenly both of them had disappeared.
In the control room Scattershot called everyone as a decepticon had been sighted going through city centre.
"Hot Shot, Bumblebee and I will handle this Scattershot, Autobots lets roll" Optimus ordered
At once all three of them ran out of the control room towards the exit. As soon as they were gone the bright blue light came again it lit up the entire room, slowly but surely it then began to fade and as the light went away Scattershot and Red Alert turned to look at the source but found Sam and Wing Saber standing there.
"What just happened?" questioned Scattershot
"Instead of walking from outside back down here I teleported myself and Wing Saber here, although I might want to work on the brightness of the light" laughed Sam
The three Autobots just stared down at her in amazement.
"So overall what do you know you can do altogether?" asked Red Alert
"Fly, search for signatures, teleport, jam transmissions and signals and transform" she smiled
Wing Saber laughed at her response.
"Okay let's get to the training room Wing Saber I'm going to need your help, scattershot stay here keep an eye on the outside world"
Within an instant Sam teleported Red Alert, Wing Saber and herself to the training room the Autobots had fitted out for her. While Red Alert updated her file, Wing Saber helped her practice the powers she already has.
"Come on Sam I throw you up and you save yourself by flying, and if not then I'll catch you okay"
"In your dreams Wing Saber, it's easy for you have wings" Sam stated
Eventually Sam gave in to him as it would help her in case she finds herself in a similar situation. She climbed on to his hand, grasping hold of his finger in fear, he then lunged back and threw his arm forward opening his hand and realising Sam. Just as he did so Sam tried to fly but she couldn't remember how she did it, heading straight for the wall on the other side of the room Wing Saber quickly began running towards her hoping to catch her but as soon as he did so Sam changed direction. She was flying, no wings, no engines just the raw power of the All Spark.
Hours past and Sam was almost an expert on the power she knew she already has apart from the transforming. Wing Saber went to power down and Scattershot came in to help Sam with recognising more powers. Red Alert set up targets around the room hoping that Sam could somehow hit them using her powers, but Sam was confused on how she should start.
"Hold your hands out and concentrate on what you want to do. For instance hitting the targets" Scattershot demonstrated by hold his servos out in an attack formation.
Sam did as she was told but nothing happened she was putting all her determination in to it but nothing. Then Red Alert had an idea, he went over to a small control panel in the corner of the room and turned the settings on for a hologram. It appeared next to the door in the shape of Megatron, turning on the voice so that Sam would be surprised to hear the Dark leader's voice.
