"Guess how this goes." I said, looking over to the back where Blanch and Steel were.
"Uh...I don't want to guess what your next insane move is." Blanch said.
"Soundwave: A little of assistance needed to help?" Soundwave asks, as his radio glows a bright blue at each word spoken.
"Yes, man." I said.
"And the car speaks again." Steel said.
"Nice accessory to the car, Auto." Blanch said.
"Soundwave is not my car." I said. "You wanted to meet this guy so you're gonna meet him, so, buckle up!'
Soundwave then drove through the streets passing under a flood of green lights. The men were so shocked I wondered how often they really took the time to watch science fiction movies featuring aliens, hackers, and high technology. I could only tell because of the review mirror attached to the inside inched away from the windowshield. Soundwave took a right turn around a curb headed towards a closed down Wall-Mart.
"We left a big well known store to a deserted abandoned one," Blanch said. "Not much of a difference."
The doors to Wall-mart had been removed to the store a couple months -mart closes every ten years and then moves to a different location taking on more 'slave employee's' living in the store quite literally. They buy everything there, and, there is not much of a good pay for a year as a employee. I sometimes pity those helpful Wall-Mart employees. Soundwave drove through the entrance slowing down his speed.
The empty Wall-Mart reminded me of a warehouse in a good TV series set as a crime procedural show.
"Birds,bird, bird," Steel said. "More we really have to see birds nesting?"
Soundwave came to a stop right at the area where a rug should be.
"Request: out." Soundwave said.
I unbuckle my seatbelt then get out while Blanch and Steel did nothing.
"Demand: out." Soundwave repeats.
"I am not going to be bossed around by a car." Steel said.
"Soundwave: is not a car." Soundwave said. "Soundwave: is a...what humans call 'Alien Robot'."
Blanch got his ass out of the car taking Steel with him.
"Hey!" Steel shouts, as Blanch tugs him out. "It's just a car!"
I laugh at Steel's silly attitude.
Chur-each-wurch went Soundwave's parts as they retracted and stood there towering over the two men with his large servos on his detaches out of Soundwave's chest then perches himself on Soundwave's shoulder. Steels stare right at Laserbeak as his mouth is left open.
"This can't be real!" Blanch shouts. "Alien robots, transforming raven robot thing, and-" He turns towards me. "I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming, and it must be a dream!"
Blanch runs off.
"Where you going, man?" I ask.
"Looking for a damn book to convince me I am dreaming!" Blanch said.
"Humans: are not dreaming." Soundwave said, petting Laserbeak.
Blanch is searching around the empty Wall-Mart for any discarded books left behind.
"Auto is right." Steel said. "Her father is a robot."
"Took you long enough." I said.
"Assessment: Megatron is locating a headquarters for the Decepticons." Soundwave said. "Decepticons are growing in number for impending war."
"A-what?" Steel said.
"A war, silly head." I said.
Steel turns his head towards me.
"Why are you so calm about this war?" Steel asks. "It is unbelieve-able a war is going to come between alien robots on EARTH! Normally someone wouldn't believe it right away..." He looks over towards Soundwave. "That they're in the presence of the good guys."
I bit my lip.
"My new car attacked me on the side of the road holding up a big cannon machine attached to its forearm." I said. "And then a Decepticon claiming to be my father came in saving my butt! It was a crazy way to meet my father but then I met the big guys!" I point up to Soundwave. "This guy is 'my guardian'. So tell me when do you pick the exact moment to let out a flood of feelings in the middle of it?"
"In private." Steel said.
"Ah ha!" Blanch cheers. "Found one-aw man there's words in it."
I turn towards Soundwave.
"Laserbeak: detects cavalary coming." Soundwave said. Laserbeak returns back into Soundwave's chest becoming part of him again. "Auto: must leave this area at once."
Soundwave transforms into his vehicle mode then opens his passenger door for me.
"Auto, are you really going?" Steel asks.
"I am part of this war, now." I said, handing the glasses to Steel. "I copied the data into my processor. This is where you two decide to be part of it or not."
I leave Steel then get into the passenger seat and get the seatbelt on. Soundwave speeded off while I was buckling myself so he closed the door for me. There came a large crash from the back end of Wall-Mart followed by a track of hard rough wheels making a breaking sound on the turned away from the entrance speeding off towards the right passing by a clueless Blanch.
I saw through the windows that military vehicles are racing after us, with people inside of them, coated in a black theme tore through the hard brick wall making a large hole in it speeding off into the land. But the vehicles kept chasing after us. They were getting closer and closer so much I can see a badge on the hood to their vehicles reading 'Sector 7' with a bald eagle on it and the image of a laptop right above it, in both talons were a set of sniper rifles, and there was a phrase in Latin below and above.
I had left the cozy and boring human life into a rather dangerous threatening life.
"Sound,aren't the other Con's gonna do something about this?" I ask, frantic.
"Decepticons: in a middle gathering remaining survivors." Soundwave said. "Hostile humans; maybe useful to the fight against the Autobots."
"Are we talking about the same faction?" I ask.
"Decepticons: need all the help we can get." Soundwave said. "Comment: giving them a thrill ride will make request believable."
"Great, sounds bad already." I said.
"Megatron: sure it would work on you." Soundwave said.
"What the-" I started.
"Decepticon oath: Decepticons do not attack harmless organisms." Soundwave said.
Now it made a little more sense that they're trying to get help without attacking humans. The way they're thinking is getting captured by humans and then send in someone who knows them to convince the humans they are here to help. In a way Decepticons getting captured by humans is one step in the right direction. At least that is the conclusion I've jumped to at the confusing replies from Soundwave.
"Further on: nor do Decepticons frighten off helpful-"
At least that's what Soundwave started to say when they used a missile to tip Soundwave forwards crashing into a forest. Is there something with Decepticons favoring out in the open scenery's surrounded by trees? I guess there has to be in this strange time. My head feels aching, my shoulders are hurting, and the sound of approaching rough wheels became background noise when I closed my eyes for a moment.
Well, it felt like a moment.
The next I recall is being dragged out of the passenger seat and a lot of yelling while a net was set up above Soundwave's idle vehicle mode.
