Hey guys. I believe this chapter is the longest yet with over 5000 words. Enjoy
Revenge of the fallen part 2
I could hear the others talking as Bee hold me (I was crying) in his hologram's chest as we drove into an abandoned warehouse. Leo was on his phone watching the news as pictures of us popped up on the net making us wanted fugitives.
"Hell this is treason," Leo exclaimed. "This kidnapping what you are doing right now."
"Oi Jerk," I said as I pulled away from Bee. "You can walk away and if cons get you I wouldn't give a slag but I just watched my fagging uncle die right in front of me so shut the frag up before I go all pissed off weapon specialist daughter on your wussy little ass."
"Yo brother this girl has a point," Skids said. "Ya heard her, pussy."
Bee glared at the twins before he watched Sam talk to Leo and destroy his device.
"Tracking device," Sam said. "They can track us on that."
I nodded as Bee's hologram disappeared and his alt form started to transform in the scout that was looking at me in concern as I deactivated my phone by taking at the chip that Ratchet had installed so that I could still keep in contact with them but not get caught by any people trying to find us.
"Karen ya ok?" Mudflap ask me as I sat down on his foot.
"I'll be fine," I replied, hiding my tears as I looked at my necklace. "Can we still get into contact with the bots?"
"Depends on which ones," Skids replied. "Your dad and Sunshine would be the easiest for ya."
I nodded as I looked towards where Sam was going.
"Hey," Mikaela said as I sat down next to her. "You okay?"
"I'm wanted fugitive, I watched my uncle/ leader die right in front of me, Earth is properly doomed and this all happened because of your stupid boyfriend," I vented.
I heard Mikaela sigh but she didn't say anything as we watched the twins fight and Bee try and gets a fire starting in old oil can for us. The crackle of the flames as the flickered across the warm metal drifted me off in a slight sleep.
Dream
Oh great, I thought as I looked around my surrounding again.
I was back in the desert from two nights ago and I could see that all the Primes where there again along with Solus that was standing behind me as one of the Primes kneeled down.
"You have suffered a great loss today chid," he said. "But we Primes cannot change the fates."
"Then how the frag are we supposed to survive if we don't have Optimus," I growled angerly. "Because if I have forgotten correctly only a Prime can stop the Fallen."
The Primes looked at me as Solus kneeled down to look at me.
"Thought you were supposed to help me," I said.
"Karen the fates cannot be messed with," she replied. "But that doesn't mean that we cannot tell you what to do."
"Have you lost your mind?" I asked. "Solus he is dead and he will not come back. And all because of your stupid fates and destiny."
I heard her sigh but I didn't say anything as the other Primes talked to each other.
"Child to save your friend you must find the Matrix of Leadership," a voice said behind me.
Turning to it I saw an old Prime that had blue optics. He was watching me as I looked at him.
"What's the matrix?" I asked. "Is it that film?"
"No film child," he said. "It is a relic of unknown power that was the key to the Harvester and can bring back the Prime that will defeat the Fallen and save your family."
My eyes opened to see that Sam was talking to Bee.
"I'm going to hand myself in," he said.
"Sam you can't," I replied, sleepily. "This isn't just about you know but the entire planet. You hand yourself in than Earth and every planet in this solar system is doomed."
He stared at me before looking at Bumblebee that was watching me before he looked towards Sam.
"Everything we have built will be wiped out in one week with no remorse," Bee said through the Radio.
"Then we have got to stop the cons from finding the thing that those symbols lead to," I said.
"Hey you two," Sam yelled to the twins. "Can you read this?"
"Err… we don't do much reading," Mudflap said.
"Yea," Skids agreed with his twin. "But it looks like ta language of ta Primes."
One of yours? I asked Solus.
Depends on what you are saying, she replied. Be careful on what you say. They are getting suspicious.
Okay, I replied.
"So how are we supposed to find out what those symbols mean?" I asked.
"I think I can help with that," Leo said as we walked up to us.
"Hey bro look who's back," Skids taunted.
"Will you two behave," a voice I knew said from behind them.
"Thought you were at base," I said as Sunstreaker and Sideswipe came into view.
"We kind of thought we should tag along," Sunny said as he hugged me. "You okay?"
"So we have two more," Leo said, making me glare at him. "Don't punch me again."
"Ya got a problem with that," Mudflap said, as he smiled at me. "And stop staring at those two."
"I will deactivate you," Sunny growled at Leo as he was staring at how I was comfortable on the fact I was now sitting in Sunny's lap on his hood.
I sighed but felt a lot happier than from earlier as we started the plan. According to the twins, Galloway had said that all the bots where to be transported back to base and that Nest had been disengaged because of the fact the bots where seen as a threat.
"So any information Leo?" I asked.
He stared at me for a second before he started to talk.
"I know that you are all going to think this is crazy because of the fact that I don't really know if it's a lead," he stated before the twins interpreted him.
"Hurry up," both Skids and Mudflap moaned.
"Robowarrior," he replied.
"Who the frag is that?" I asked.
"He does a website that is aimed about an alien race," he replied. "One in general; robots."
"So where can we find him?" Sam asked.
"Sam on one thing; the World Wide Web," I said as the bots transformed to hook up to the internet.
(Later)
We were driving to a city that was just 200 miles away from where we had stayed for the night. I was flicking for my phone to find any information about the person we were about to see. Sam, Mikaela and Leo were riding with Bee as I drove with Sunny. Sides were keeping the twins in line.
"So who is this guy?" Sunny asked.
"It says that he works in a butcher and that he used to work for the government," I replied. "Figures that he would know about you guys."
I heard Sunny sigh as we drove. The streets as we drove closer to the city were getting crowded and I knew that he would start complaining about people trying to touch his paint job.
"Honey they will touch your paint job properly because it is unusual to see three nice cars at the same time," I replied softly. "Please don't scare anyone."
I heard him grumble about something but I did not say anything as we stopped at a butcher's shop that was packed with people who were waiting for their orders.
"Be careful in there," Sunny said before he kissed my forehead.
"Always am," I smiled softly as I got out of the car along with Sam, Mikaela and Leo.
The shop almost made me gag at the smell that was surrounding it. Sam pulled a face at the fresh meat that smelled as if it was dripping in blood and stuff like that. Pulling my cap down further so that no one would recognise me if they had been watching the news.
"That's the guy," Leo said pointing to the employee that was ordering people.
The person looked at up from what Leo had said and I growled when I saw that it was no other than… Simmons the bastard.
"Oh no," he whispered as Sam pushed me behind him. "The cases that shut down S-7."
"Oh so you do remember?" I asked, mockingly. "Nice place."
"I need your help," Sam said, stopping us from glaring at each other. "I keep on seeing symbols in my head and Megatron wants what's in my mind."
"Did you say symbols?" Simmons asked.
"Yes," Sam replied as I looked out of the window.
"Everybody out!" Simmons suddenly yelled. "I have a family crisis so out!"
"Since when are we family?" I whispered to Mikaela who shrugged at me as we watched what was going on.
The people in the shop moaned as a woman behind the counter started to argue with Simmons.
"Mom, mom you have to go," Simmons said making me laugh. "Karen shush."
I glared at him but he didn't notice as Mikaela and I followed him, Sam and Leo to the frozen fridge.
"Eww… gross," Mikaela said as I nodded in agreement as we followed Simmons down a basement and looked at all the files that where around us.
"That is Frenzy's head," I said looking at it. "Nice so you took it as an ornament."
"Don't touch," he said to Leo. "Now than those symbols what did they look like; anything like this?"
Simmons handed Sam so files and I saw one of the symbols that made me frown as Solus perked up at the sight of them.
So it is true, she said. He is seeing the symbols that are the language of the Primes.
Why do I have the feeling that you aren't telling me something, I replied.
All in good time, she replied.
I looked at the Symbols ignoring Solus as she talked to the other Primes that seemed to be in my mind.
"So who do we need to read this?" I asked.
"We need a con," Sam said.
"Sam and where are we supposed to find a con that will answer us?" I asked.
"I think I might know," Mikaela replied before she and Sam started to walk back up the ladders.
I stared around the room as I waited for them to come back as Leo talked to Simmons on what it was like to work with aliens.
"They drove you up the wall with the damage they cause," Simmons said making me snort. "But I have seen good in them and that they can love like any human; properly why she got born."
"She's an alien?" Leo asked.
"No my dad is," I replied. "And so is my boyfriend that is starting to get annoyed up there."
At those words Mikaela and Sam reappeared carrying the case from yesterday.
"What's in there?" I asked confused as I looked at it.
"You don't want to know," Mikaela replied before she opened it.
Out came out a small con that made me back away from the table as it stared at me. It started to say something before Mikaela pointed a blowtorch at its only surviving optic.
"Tell me what these Symbols mean?" Mikaela asked.
"This is old school," he said. "As in really old school. Where did you find this?"
"Found on every continent across the world," Simmons replied. "Can you translate iT?"
"I can't but there might be some who can," It replied. "Let me see."
I watched as he active his optics and three red spot appeared on the map of the USA States.
"The closet one is in Washington," Simmons said as we turned to leave. "Let's get going than."
I sighed as I followed the others out of the basement and up to the shop before we exited the store to go to the bots.
"So we going to Washington," I concluded as I got into Sunny. "Let's get going."
(Later)
We looked at the building in front of us as my hand curled into Sunstreaker's who was looking at the building.
"You sure this will work?" I asked.
"It be fine," he replied, kissing my forehead. "Be careful."
I nodded before me, Mikaela, Sam, Leo and Simmons went to enter the building.
"Okay, Karen you stay with symbol guy and his girlfriend," Simmons said. "Kid you are the diversion."
I nodded as I followed Sam and Mikaela to a plane that we climbed into as we waited for the signal off Simmons.
"How are things with you and Sunny?" Mikaela asked.
"Fine," I replied as I saw Leo come out of the bathroom…. With his jeans and boxers down. "I am going to vomit."
They looked towards what I was looking at and pulled the same face I did at the sight.
"I never want to see that again," I said, trying not to throw up the granola bar I had eaten on the way up.
"Got to agree with ya," Sam replied as Simmons came out. "Come on."
Walking over to Simmons I saw that Leo had tasered himself which made me laugh a bit before we started to find the transformer that would give us answers on what those symbols meant.
Solus any ideas? I asked.
Stay close to Wheelie, she replied.
Following Wheelie I heard the others following me as we ran to Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird that had railing around it.
"That's the guy," Wheelie said.
"Ya sure?" I asked as I jumped over the railing and ran to find a symbol.
"Energon reading is off the scale," Simmons said.
I then froze when I saw the symbol that was on the plane.
"Oh shit," I said. "IT'S A DECEPTCON! MOVE!"
Jumping back over the railing I ran to Sam and Mikaela that was hiding along with Simmons and Leo that wasn't paralyzed and Wheelie that was looking as the con transformed.
"What sort of hideous mausoleum is this? Answer me, pawns and knaves! Show yourselves or suffer my infinite wrath! You little spinal-cord-based organisms! Bugger it! Behold the eternal glory of Jetfire! Prepare for remote systems override!"
"He did not age well, I don't think he's gunna hurt us."
"I require these doors to open. Fire! I said fire! Bollocks! Damn these worthless parts. Wait a second!" He broke down the door.
"Damn the museum is not going to be happy." I said. "We have to catch that plane.,"
We ran to catch up with him and when we got where he was, he was mumbling to himself, something about a mission.
"Wait, wait, wait, and wait!" Sam yelled up to him.
"What do you want?"
"We just want to talk."
"I have no time to talk. I'm on a mission. I'm a mercenary doom-bringer. What planet am I on?"
I answered that. "Earth."
"Earth? Horrid name for a planet. Might as well call it "Dirt." Planet "Dirt." Tell me, is that robot civil war still going on?" Sam, Mikaela and I nodded. "Who's winning?"
"The Decepticons." At that moment Bumblebee and the two sets of twins decided to join us.
"Well I changed sides to the Autobots"
"What do you mean changed sides?" I asked. That didn't make since, he had the Decepticon symbol on him.
Let him explain Solus said. He has all the answers
He looked down on us and said, "It's a choice. It's an intensely personal decision. So much negativity. Who wants to live a life filled with hate?"
"You mean you don't have to work for those miserable freaking Decepticons?" Wheelie asked.
"If Decepticons had their way, they'd demolish the whole universe."
"I'm changing sides. I'm changing sides, too, warrior goddess."
"Who's your little Autobot?" Jetfire asked.
"Your cute" Mikaela smiled down at the Wheelie.
"Name's Wheelie. Yeah. Say my name, say my name." Wheelie, apparently, said while humping her leg. I chuckled but felt disgusted at the sight.
"What are you letting happen to your foot just now?" Sam asked, astonished.
"At least he's faithful Sam." She responded, looking up at him.
"Yeah, well, he's faithful and he's nude and he's perverted." He retorted back.
"Can you just... can you stop?" She asked. He kicked grim off her leg. "Hey, what are you doing?"
"It's just something to think about. I won't argue with... What were you saying?" He stuttered looking up at Jetfire.
"I told you my name was Jetfire, so stop judging me."
"He has issues," Leo said making me turn around and hit him again. "Why the face?"
"Because I hate you," I growled before turning back to Jetfire. "Can you help us Jetfire?"
"You human have asked nicely as yes," he replied. "I was sent here on an important mission from the Fallen himself. He sent me here to find the Harvester a device that harvests suns. The thirteen primes swore to never harvest a sun that has life in its orbit. However the fallen the bad than the bad disagreed and tried to operate the machine. His brothers betrayed him by hiding the matrix and sacrificed themselves to hide the Key."
So it was true, I said Sorry I missed judged you.
All is understandable child Solus replied. Get ready to move.
I was confused before I heard a buzzing sound like wasps or bees before a flash of light and I had the strange feeling of travelling across time before I landed on my front and coughed. Scrambling to my feet I gasped at the fact I was in a desert and that it reminded me of my dreams.
Thanks for the warning I told Solus as I pulled my sunglasses down.
"Guys," I yelled as I went to find them
"Over here Karen," Sunstreaker yelled back as I jumped down from a ridge.
"Where the hell are we?" Mikaela called as I made my way to Jetfire.
"So what was that?" I asked.
"That was a space bridge," he replied. "It's the fastest way to travel."
"Well it almost got us killed," Simmons said.
"To fast for you to keep up grandpa," I said before turning back to Jetfire.
"Where are we?" Sam asked.
"We are in Egypt," Jetfire replied and Solus confirmed it as she told me what she knew about the location.
"So the matrix," I stated before Jetfire concluded what he had being telling us and how to find it."
"The daggers tip," he said before he sat down. "Now go and quickly."
"What a lot of help he was," Leo said before he moved away from me.
"He told us a lot," I said, glaring at him.
"Can you two just get along for just this?" Sam asked.
"Fine but if he says anything that I found insulting I get to kick his ass," I said before I climbed onto Sunny's hand. "Hey honey."
"You are strange when on mission," he said before he transformed around me as we followed the others.
(Later)
I was talking to Sunny as we pulled up to a boarder compound.
"Slag," he whispered before reaching for the fake passports he must have got before he came to meet us. "I need you to stay here."
I watched as he went to the man, that well let us just say he was on the small side, and gave him the passports that he seemed to approve of as he let us through.
"Where did you get them?" I asked as we were driving again.
"Just before I came to meet up with you, Ratchet handed them to me. "Properly thought they would come into hand."
"Yeah," I replied before yawing a bit.
"Your tried sleep," he said as his pulled me to his chest.
I gave a tried sigh before I snuggled up to him and fell asleep.
(Dream)
Here we go again, I thought as I looked around me.
The Primes seemed to be having an argument as I watched them as Solus sat down next to me as we watched the twelve Primes as we wasn't involved in it.
"How are you?" she asked as we watched.
"Can't wait for all of this to be over," I replied as I turned to look at her. "How are we supposed to get the big guy and the bots here?"
"I believe you humans have away to move across countries through a flying machine," Solus replied. "Does that help?"
"Yeah," I replied. "Thanks Solus,"
Time to get back, she replied before my vision blurred.
(Present)
I was woken awake by the sound of police sirens behind me which made me look at Sunstreaker that was rally driving across narrow dusty streets that had people running for safety from the car chase.
"What's going on?" I asked confused as he transformed and placed me on the ground as we hide from the cops."
"We are in the middle of an important phone call," Simmons replied making me go quiet before he waited to talk again on the phone.
I was not really paying attention to what Simmons was saying as I looked around me to see if any cops where coming. I frowned when I saw a man holding a piece of cloth around his face ran up to us.
"Hurry up Simmons," I hissed before I kicked the person that ended up falling to the ground with sand and dust in the face.
"Why do you always hurt me?" Leo asked as he removed the cloth around his head.
"Because I don't like you," I replied before I turned away from him as Sides scooped me up. "Where's Sunny?"
"Making sure we aren't followed," he replied as he transformed and followed Bee. "I heard what happened with you and Bee earlier."
"I just can't believe his gone," I whispered trying not to cry again.
"Karen we will end this," he promised as he pulled me to him. "My duties as your guardian and as you are my sister even when you and Sunny weren't together is to protect you."
"Thanks Sides," I said as I hugged him.
He hugged me back before his passenger door opened and Sunstreaker's hologram was there.
"Hey," I said as he hugged Sides and me. "We lost them?"
"They won't follow us out this far," he replied as I tighten my grasp on him as he moved away from Sides taking me with him. "Come on I believe that the sunset will be soon."
My fingers intertwined with his as he led me to the building that we had found to camp out for the night. As we walked I could see that Sam and Mikaela was on a cat walk above us as we reached his alt-form. Sitting down on his hood I leaned my head against his chest as he pulled me to his lap and kisses my forehead as I looked at him.
"Don't leave me," I whispered, sounding like the child I had been three years ago.
"Even if I am about to offline," he replied as I snuggled closer to him. "You're afraid of losing us all."
"I can't lose my family as I already have," I replied. "My mother, Optimus and every one that I care about I can't lose; I have to find my mother and find out why she left Sunstreaker."
He sighed as I looked towards the hot Egyptian sun that was setting behind the horizon. I could see the outline of the pyramids that made me frown as I heard Solus trying to point something out.
What? I asked her.
The clue is linked to a pyramid that looks likes stairs, she replied.
"The pyramids of Gaza," I said as I pulled away from Sunny that looked at me confused before I turned towards the catwalk Sam and Mikaela where on.
On the road again
I listened to Sam talk to Simmons on what the three stars meant as we drove.
"So they called it the three kings as well as the Diggers tip," I said from the back of where I sat in between Mikaela and Leo. Sunstreaker and Sides had disappeared to properly scout the area as I was with Bee and the other set of twins.
"We find the matrix, get to Optimus and don't get killed," Sam summarised from what Simmons had told him. "How far out are we Bee?"
"We are reaching a building with a signal radiating from it," he replied.
The sun had started to rise again as we approached a building with a big arch way that made me frown before Bee stopped and we all got out of him as the twins and Bee transformed.
"That is one big doorway," Leo said as I jumped up to stand in the door way.
The others followed as we looked around us. The entrance was bare and I frowned as I looked around me.
"Sam nothings here," Mikaela said.
"There has got to be something here," he replied. "We need him back."
Solus where is it? I asked.
I can't help you, she replied. This mission is yours alone.
I grumbled as I looked towards the others as they argued. I sighed as I sat down next to Skids that was watching the scene.
"Hey bro shut the frag up," Skids said standing up to have a go at his twin.
"The boy was wrong he isn't coming back," Mudflap yelled back, making me stare at him in shock before I ran off.
"KAREN!" Sam yelled as I sprinted, tears blurring me vision before I felt two arms wrap around me as I collided with someone.
"What did you do?" Sunstreaker said in anger as I sobbed in his chest. "You now that she is affected by Prime's death and you said that."
"There isn't anything there," Mudflap replied.
"And you couldn't have said it more obvious," Sides growled as Bee watched. "If she gets hurt Ironhide is going to kill us."
I pulled away from Sunstreaker to look at the four Autobots before we heard the sound of an engine above us. Looking up we saw the outline of an army plane that made me smile weakly as I looked towards the others.
"Bee get Sam," I ordered as I wiped away my tears. "Twins scout the area. Skids Mudflap you're the distractions. Sunstreaker Sideswipe we cover Sam and the Matrix."
They all nodded as they transformed and Simmons and Leo got into Mudflap which I just shrugged at as I was busy trying to contact Epps. Driving across the desert road Sunstreaker was trying to contact any Autobots in the area as Sides kept a look out for any cons coming our way.
"Starscream," Sunstreaker growled as he transformed to stop the con from blasting us.
I landed on Sides hand as he rolled over me. He nodded at me before taking out his twin blades before fighting Ravage as I ran to Bee that had told Sam and Mikaela to run.
"Bee which way?" I called before he pointed into the location we had seen the soldiers land in.
I nodded before taking off, sprinting. I might not be one of the soldiers of NEST but I did have training from dad, Lennox and Epps when they were off duty. This is what I loved about running; you could run lightly or far out running to reach something. As my goal was to reach Sam and Mikaela in case of cons I was sprinting. I could see them up ahead running across an empty village which made me follow them before I over took them and pushed them in a house.
"Quiet there are cons around," I gasped out, clutching my knees as Sam nodded as he handed me a bottle of water he had on him.
I nodded as we listened for sounds of the cons. Hearing a buzzing sound Sam looked into a hole in the side of the house and saw a fly like con fly in as Sam grabbed it and pulled it apart. I froze looking to the roof as I quietly stood up to get ready to run as Sam listened with Mikaela holding onto his arm before the roof crashed onto us and I took off sprinting with them both following me as we ran. I than stopped at the sight of a con in front of me. I felt Sam crash into me but he kept his balance as I looked at Sam's parents were thrown out onto the desert ground. I saw a flash of black and yellow and saw Bee putting a finger to his lips which I nodded shortly at as I looked back towards the con.
"Don't hurt them," Sam said as his parents reached us.
Judy looked at me as I smiled weakly at her, ignoring the look she gave at my red eyes due to my crying. Ron just looked at me before Bumblebee jumped in front of us and took on the two cons. I heard the sound of two engines behind me and looked behind to see Sunny and Sides as they transformed and helped Bee.
"Get out of here," I told Judy and Ron that was watching the battle. "This is going to get intense."
"You're just a child," Judy said. "Come with us."
"My family need me," I argued before Sam and Mikaela took off running again. "I have got to go."
I sprinted after them both before I heard metal footsteps behind me. I turned around to see Megatron and I gave a scream of shock before he was tackled by a black figure I know.
"DAD!" I yelled in joy as well as fear as he fought Megatron.
"Got to Epps," he shouted as I nodded and ran to the man that hugged me as I skidded next to him.
"Shot any con you see," he orders as he passed me a rifle.
I nodded before I shot the cons.
After the battle
I gave a smile as I looked around me. My family had survived and Optimus was back. He now was talking to Sam, properly thanking him as I hugged me dad close to me as I was scared of letting him go in case I had lost him in the battle. Dad seemed happy that I was safe and was thanking the twins for keeping an eye on me.
I told you so Karen Solus said making me agree with her. This generation of autobots have learnt much from this species that I myself have become fond of due to you. If you ever need me I will be there in your mind.
Thanks Solus, I replied. I guess this means goodbye for now.
For now
I gave a laugh as Sunstreaker pulled me away from dad and dragged me to Optimus that had actiated his hologram.
"I am sorry for the grief I caused you Karen," Optimus said.
"I just couldn't bear the thought of losing my family," I replied. "Glad to have ya back Prime."
He smiled before I hugged him. I felt the other bots joining in. One thing was sure as we all stood there holding the ones we cared about close; this was family and no one destroyed it. If you tried, we would stop you because we were home at where we belong.
