Robots in Disguise: Pilot Part 2
Well here is another installment of Here We Go Again. Thanks to everyone who favorited, followed, and reviews the first chapter. I was surprised by the good feedback so far. You guys rock! In regards to my OC, Hope, I wanted to clarify what her appearence is. She has the same build as Solarstorm (OC) and Arcee. She is red with white swirled decals on her arms, legs, and a little her face. She has a crest on her forehead and pointed audio fins. She also has Wheeljacks winglets. Just wanted to clarify since it was pointed out to me I didnt. Thank YOu!
LuisJM: Thank you! I thought so too. Just to clarify my character Hope is someone I made up from my other story Transformers Prime: Plus 1, so I did not take her from another author. Also, it couldnt be helped if she shares the same name as another OC since there is no way I can be aware of every story out there. I hope I don't sound mean I just want it to be clear that this Hope is my very own made up character and that I in no way took her from someone else. Thank you. :) Also, in regards to Wheeljack and my other OC that was apart of the story previous to this one as well.
Izzy-dragon-rider: It's so sad that there aren't more out there cause I love this show! I don't know what is so hard about not having Sunstreaker when you have a Sideswipe. They go together! Thank you! It was suggested that I wrote this show with Hope so how could I say no. Lol! Strongarm is too stiff to me. Bless her. Thank you for your review!
emzydatffan: Thank you so much! It was suggested that I write my OC, Hope, from my other story into this show and here it is! Thank you for reviewing. :)
snake screamer: Don't worry. I plan to continue until the end. :)
Beast Prime: Gracias! Im sorry, but I had to google translate what that meant. Lol! :D
crassher55: Lol, he will be in this one. Thats how the writing played out. :)
DJ Jazzy: Thank you! Hope I don't disappoint. :)
Here We Go Again:
"Oh mercy, his dads in there!...what's a dad?" Fixit asks.
"Um...its an older member of this planets dominant species that shares genetic material with the younger member and assists in the learning and education of that member." Bee explains.
"So like a sire?" I ask.
"Exactly." He replies.
"Oh, why didn't you just say that?" Fixit says.
"Dad!" Russell yells running towards this scrapyard.
Bee quickly grabs him and holds him up to his face. "Your not going anywhere near that chompazoid. Its too dangerous."
"Urg, you know what else is probably too dangerous...him." Sideswipe says while pointing to something behind us.
We look and see someone walking up to us...its a black and green mech and hes huge. He then transforms into a Dinobot.
Everyone takes steps back to put in some distance between the stanger. I'm looking at the mech in curiosity so I don't think about moving.
Sideswipe grabs my arms and pulls me back with him. "How about we move away from the strange scary mech."
"Who is he?" I ask.
"Not a clue." He replies.
The mysterious mech walks closer to us.
Bee stands up to him. "They're civilians. No threat."
"I'm no civilian." Strongarm protests trying to look intimidating.
"He doesn't look threatned to me." Sideswipe jokes.
The stranger sniffs and then runs off and out of sight. Bee sighs. "Those two can draw all kinds of attention. Everyone stay here."
"Regulations clearly state that multiple officers-"
"No. You and Hope are too inexperienced. I'm handling this alone." Bee interrupts her. Then he runs off.
"I don't care what he says. That's my dad." Russell says before running off.
"Wait little human!" I yell but am ignored.
"Opps, the human is on the move. I better keep an eye on him." Strongarm states in fake innocance before running after him.
"Strongarm!" I yell but it does no good. "Now if I did that she'd be quick to pull out her stupid regulation code."
"She's just jealous that shes not as likeable and pretty as you are." Sideswipe says smoothly.
"Flattery will get you nowhere slick." I reply dryly.
"Please forgive me for interrupting your conversation, but aren't you two going as well?" Fixit asks.
Sideswipe scoffs. "Not my fight."
"Oh I hear ya, loud and fear-sneer-clear." Fixit states. "I'm no fighter either; I'm a lover."
He then starts rummaging through the rubble. "Let's see if ol' Fixit can find something to help out with these fugitives. Maybe some weapons...gear...I can tell we're going to be great friends. So Sideswipe, do you have a nickname? No no wait, let me guess!"
Sideswipe groans in aggrivation and starts pulling on my arm and pulls me with him. Once we're far enough I snatch my arm back. "That was very rude Sideswipe."
"What?" He asks.
"Walking away from Fixit while he was talking to you. That could hurt his feelings." I reply.
"Who cares. I wasn't about to listen to the rest of his rambling." He replies.
"He's probably just overly excited about having someone to talk to." I reason.
He smirks as he walks a bit closer to me. "I don't see you racing to get back."
"...shut up. Now lets go. I'd like to find Uncle Bee." I mutter.
"UNCLE Bee?! PLease don't tell me that guys your uncle!" He exclaims.
I roll my optics at his antics."Relax he's not really my uncle. I call him that sometimes cause he's a good friend of my creators."
"And who exactly are they?" He asks.
I go to answer but see Strongarm up ahead and say, "Theres Strongarm. Lets go."
Sideswipe and I drive up there in time to see the human and Strongarm run past Bee. Sideswipe drives past him but I stop by him and transform. "I'm so sorry Bee. I should have done better about stopping them."
Bee sighs and says, "Forget about that. Right now we have more important things to worry about. Let's go."
I nod and follow Bee's lead. I see Underbite jumping at the dinobot, but he just moves to the side making Underbite crash into a pile of...whatever those little statues are. Underbite gets up in time for the dinobot to tackle him into the ground. "Guess chompazoids arent' so tough."
"Or dinobots ain't so smart." Underbite says before grabbing his arm and throwing him...towards us.
The dinobot crashes to the ground behind us. Noticing Russell in the path of the tumbling dinobot I yell, "Sideswipe, the human!"
"On it!" He drives up to him and quickly scoops him up into his alt mode.
The rest of us head to Underbite whose eating the pile of...whatevers. Instead of being smart and sneaking up on him, Strongarm yells, "Let's do this!"
"Strongarm no!" Bee yells.
Naturally she doesn't listen and shoots and breaks the statue Underbite was about to eat. He angrily charges at us and Bee urges us to go. Underbite chases after us as we manuver through the scrapyard. "He's right on us!" I yell.
"Don't worry! Just keep going!" Bee yells back.
I push myself to run faster and up ahead I see a familiar red form. "ITs Sideswipe!"
Suddenly I hear the dinobot jump on Underbite making him fall to the ground.
We stop in front of the building the human is in. "This is a disaster." Bee sighs. He then turns to us. "Why didn't you stay back like I told you?!"
"I am trained to serve and protect, not stay put." Strongarm argues.
"That mouthy minicon...urg, my audio receptors were starting to melt." Sideswipe groans.
"And I just couldn't let them run off on their own." I add.
Bee just looks into the building and to the new human says, "Human!"
"Denny." He inupts.
"Wheres the safest place around here?" Bee asks.
"Um. Oh, theres some caves down by the river." Denny replies.
"Take Russell there." Bee orders. He then turns to us. "Sideswipe, Hope, and Strongarm you too."
Strongarm immediately protests, "Sir. I wanna help. Teach me like Optimus taught you."
"I am not Optimus!" Bee snaps.
"IT's too bad cause we could really use a Prime right about now." Sideswipe says.
"Im sure if we work together we can take this guy down." I state.
Sideswipe smiles at me and says, "It's actually really adorable how optimistic you are."
"Uhh thanks." I then turn to Bee. "Come on Bee. Please let us help you."
We then hear someone yelling and see the dinobot falling our way. "Brace yourselves!" Bee warns. Everyone jumps out of the way before he can hit us.
Apparently Sideswipe decided to go with me. "Are you alright?" He asks helping me up.
"OF course I am." I'm not made of glass."I reply.
"I never said you were." He says.
"But you have been asking me if I'm okay a lot. It's kinda of irritating."
"Well excuse me for being concerned about your well being. Didn't know that was a crime too!" He says a bit angry.
I cringe knowing I shouldn't have snapped at him. "I'm sorry Sideswipe, really. I shouldn't have said that."
His face softens. "Well I shouldn't have snapped at you. I promise to ease up, but if you just feel compeled to make it up to me I wouldn't say no to a date."
"Not gonna happen." I reply.
He shrugs and says, "Can't blame a mech for trying."
I shake my head while trying to hide a smile. "Come on." We walk back to the building where the dinobot is laying inside.
"Is everyone okay?" Bee asks.
"Everyones fine lieutenant, except maybe the fugitive." Strongarm refers to the dinobot, who quickly stands up and exclaims, "Round two... what happened?"
"Underbite tossed you like a lobball." Strongarm replies.
"Anyone get hurt?" He asks worridly.
"Amazingly not with all that rumbling around you two were doing." I say.
"That's the first." He replies.
"IT's strange that Underbite took off. There's still plenty of metal here." Sideswipe ponders.
I look at the shiny city a little ways from us. "I think that city has something to do with it." I suggest.
"And that's where he will be heading, those skyscrapers." Bee adds.
"We should call the cops, the army." Russell suggests to Bee.
"No more humans can become involved." He replies.
Denny runs up to him and says, "Those buildings in Crown City; there are tens of thousands of humans in them.
"Well then I'll have to stop him before he ever gets there." He states.
"Just let me transform sir and I'll come with you." Strongarm says.
"Me too. You'll need all the help you can get." I add.
"You three need to understand. None of you were supposed to be here. Optimus said this was a mission for me." Bee states.
The dinobot transforms to mech mode and says, "Well I want another shot at that muscle head."
"You can't let some criminal ride with you!" Strongarm protests.
"I'm not a criminal." The Dinobot pouts. "At least I don't think I am."
"I bet thats what they all say on the prison ship." Sideswipe whispers.
Bee decides to put everyone straight. "I'm not letting-"
"I'm going, and if you don't like it you can try to stop me. " The Dinobot interrupts.
"Well I'm going to!" Denny announces while detaching the trailor from his vehicle. "I know a shortcut to the bridge."
"Lieutenant, if your taking those two-"
"Fine, but no Cybertronian forms. There could be boats on that river, witnesses on the shore. We need to look like something humans will accept. We need to be robots in disguise." Bee states then turning to Denny. "You store more vehicles here?"
Denny nods and leads us a little further into the scrap yard when lots of vehicles are.
"Find one and hurry." Bee tells Strongarm, who quickly runs to find one.
"YOu too Hope. Go and pick one out." He adds.
I look through the vehicles and try to find one that I like while still trying to be quick...then I find one and I love it. I quickly scan it. I then drive back to the group in my new alt mode.
Denny is the first to notice me and smiles at my choice. "An Audi R8 GT."
"Thank you. I assume its a good one?" I ask.
"Absolutely." He encourages.
"Looking good." Sideswipe compliments.
"Nice pick Hope." Bee says.
I transform back and say, "Thanks."
"Bumblebee to Fixit, come in." Bee coms him.
"Fixit here sir." He says rolling up with some crate.
"Fixit? What are you doing here?" Bee asks.
"Answering your call...and I'm supposed to be the one with the faulty hiring-whining-wiring." He replies.
"No I mean are-you-just-never mind. Any process on the stasis cells back at the crash site?"
"Yes, I've repaired one cell." Fixit replies.
"YOu didn't have to come here to tell me that." Bee says.
"Oh, well sure. I'll just head back to the ship then and take these capture devices with me." Fixit says starting to roll away.
"Wait! Capture devices?" Bee stops him.
Fixit grabs one and tosses it to Bee. "Just point or throw." He instructs. He then throws the other to Strongarm who just walked up.
"So what'd you chose?" Bee asks her.
She transforms to her new alt mode, and I must admit that its a good pick for her.
"Fixit, back to the ship and get the cell. Russell, stay here with Sideswipe. Everyone else, we're a team not and we're all that stands between Underbite and the loss of a lot of innocent lives. So, let's do what we have to do. Roll up and roll out!"
There's an akward silence after that and no ones sure what to think. "Um, what exactly was that supposed to be?" I ask.
He sighs. "I'll work on that last part." He transforms and heads out with us following in behind. He has Denny take the lead since he knows a shortcut to the bridge. It doesn't take that long to get there and we get into position.
When Underbite makes it to the bridge he's much slower and weaker than before. Bee intercepts him at the bridge with the capture device Fixit gave him. "Sorry Underbite, but the bridge is closed."
With him distracted the dinobot, I now know as Grimlock, smashes into him making him fall.
He stands back up in time for me to jump up and kick at his side making him fall again. Then Strongarm and I start shooting at him.
Bee then zapps him with the device. "Fixit, you are my favorite minicon." Bee exclaims loving the device. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long cause the device stops working, then strangely enough makes mine and Strongarms weapons malfunction. "Fixit I'm rethinking my rankings."
Underbite roars angrily at Bee. "I need a little iron to get my shred back. I don't really can if I have to go through you to get it."
Strongarm and quickly wish to either side of Bee. "Ready for your back up plan sir."
"I don't have one! Get out of here!" Bee yells.
"We're not leaving you!" I yell back.
Grimlock then gets behind us. "Why don't we just start punching and see how that turns out!"
Then Denny drives in front of us in his vehicle and then yells at Underbite, "Take your best shot you overgrown schnauzer!"
We then hear the sound of screeching tires and Sideswipe comes into view with the trailer of those statues attached to him. He stops in front of us and Russell says, "Come and get it!"
Underbite stares at the statues and says, "Just the pick me up I was looking for." He tries to take a bite but Sideswipe drives off and Underbite gives chase.
"Rusty!" Denny yells in worry for his son.
Without asking or waiting for anyone I transform and take off after them. Thankfully they left an easy trail to follow. When I get there I see Sideswipe at the edge of the quarry.
Underbite charges at him and in worry I yell, "Sideswipe!"
He dodges so now Underbite is by the quarry and then parks beside me. "You called?"
The rest of the team then come into the clearning. They all drive right into Underbite and shove him as hard as they can. "They need help!"
"Got it!" Sideswipe lets out the human and then we drive at them and help shove.
"This is awesome!" Grimlock exclaims.
We're going good until he spots the statues in the trailer attached to Sideswipe. He eats a few and with added strength pushes everyone back. "That's what I'm talking about!" He then grabs Dennys vehicle with him stilll inside. "Whose the boss now huh?"
"Dad!" Russell yells while starting to run towards him.
I quickly grab him so he doesn't get himself hurt.
"Fall back!" Bee orders.
Everyone reluctantly does so.
"Whose rough, whose tough, whose huge!" Underbite yells while starting to compress the vehicle.
"No!' Bee yells but then stops, as well as us, at whos behind him.
The tall blue and red mech behind him is...I can't belive what I'm seeing, but I think its actually the Optimus Prime.
Underbite looks at whos behind him and is easily thrown down the quarry by Optimus...I'm still having trouble believing that its actually him.
"Dad?" Russell whispers.
Optimus turns and places the vehicle down and Denny runs out of it. I place Russell down and he rushes to hug his father.
Bee, along with the rest of us, walk up to Optimus. "Optimus? You are alieve?! Are...you alive?" Bee asks.
"That is unclear but I do know that I cannot maintain my presence on Earth for much longer. You have found an excellent team." Optimus says with a smile and the deepest voice I have ever heard.
"We found each other actually." Bee replies.
"Optimus looks at me and smiles. "You favor your carrier greatly."
"Thank you sir. Your just as impressive as carrier and sires stories protray you to be." I reply with a grin.
"It was an honer to fight along side your creators. I only wish I could have gotten to know their daughter as well." He replies.
"According to them you really were the greatest Prime. It's an honor that I get to meet you sir." I reply shyly.
"And to you as well. Please give them my regards." He replies. He then addresses everyone. "Together you will confront many challanges. The forces facing Earth are immense and formidable, but I am certain you will accomplish great things, as you did today."
"But we needed your help, Optimus. We always will." Bee pleads.
"You are ready to lead Bumblebee. Do not doubt yourself." Optimus says to him.
"Will I see you again?" Bee asks sadly.
"I am not certain. The universe has a plan for me, but I do not know what it is. You will proveal Bumblebee. You must." Optimus replies. He then slowly vanishes until he's gone completely.
Bee looks sadly at the spot.
"Bee, are you okay?" I ask softly.
He's silent for a moment before he turns to me with a smile. "I finally got to talk to Optimus again...so yeah, I'm good."
"Judging by the way everyone acted he was obviously important, but who exactly is he?" Denny asks.
"That's a long story. One for another day. For now I suggest heading back to the scrapyard. If you don't mind having us around that is." Bee says.
"You kidding? Today has been a blast and a half, aside from the whole almost getting squished thing. After today theres no way Rusty and I could say bye." Denny replies with a grin.
"Thank you. Let's go everyone." Bee says.
Everyone starts heading back to the scrapyard. "So Hope, somethings been bugging me." Sideswipe comments.
"And that is?" I ask humoring him.
"Who are your creators? They've gotta be a big deal if Optimus Prime himself fought with them." He asks.
Knowing I have everyones attention I try to be as casual as possible. "Wheeljack and Solarstorm."
Everyone, that knows who I'm talking about, goes silent. "HOld up! Wheeljack and Solarstorm? THE Wheeljack and Solarstorm?!" Sideswipe exclaims.
"Well they're the only Wheeljack and Solarstorm I know." I reply jokingly.
"Why didn't you ever mention that your creators were the war heroes apart of Team Prime?" Strongarm asks.
"You never asked me." I shrug.
"I can't believe their your creators. That's so incredible." She replies.
"I can't belive I was flirting with their daughter...I'm so scrapped." Sideswipe groans.
"Carriers not really that bad...sire however, he's not easily impressed and can be a bit eccentric." I reply with a smirk.
"Um, you uh won't mention it to him will ya?" Sideswipe asks nervously.
I smirk and say, "I'll think about it."
Everyone finally makes it back to the scrapyard after moving everything there from the crash site, plus placing Underbite inside a stasis cell.
"Are you absolutely sure you don't mind us moving our command center onto your property?" Bee asks Denny.
"Our place is a much better hideout than the woods." He replies.
"And I can help you keep your cover...if, um, you know I'm not doing anything else." Russell adds.
"Your not gonna make me go back to sleep are ya?" Gromlock asks Bee worridly.
"Protocol 13 section 9 says all prisioners must be-"
Bee interrupts by raising his servo. He then addresses Grimlock. "Consider yourself on probation."
That immediately envokes a protest out of Strongarm. "But sir!"
Grimlock, however, is very happy. "Yeah!" He then picks up Strongarm while singing, "I'm on probaaaation. Yes on probaaation."
This makes me let out a laugh.
"Hey!" She protests and makes him let her go.
"Uh? Thats a good thing right?" Grimlock asks suddenly confused. Poor thing is all brawn and no brain.
I laugh and say,"Yes that is a good thing."
That brings a smile to his face.
"Glad your with us Sideswipe." Bee states.
"For now." He replies before grunting at having to catch some equipment that Strongarm tossed into his arms.
"As your senior officer I order you to take this equipment-"
"No!" Sideswipe interrupts her while throwing the stuff down. "You don't get to give me orders."
"Excuse me these are very delicate. I don't know if you've studied the science of 3-9-4-J receptors. Their construction is really quite interenting-internesting-interesting." Fixit says to Sideswipe.
I look to Strongarm and say, "And by the way your just a cadet, so therefore no ones senior officer."
She glares at me and says, "Your just a cadet too!"
"I never said I wasn't. Your the one trying to bark out orders when you don't have the authority to do so." I retort.
And thus the squabbling of just about everyone continues.
Thanks for reading everyone! I hope yall liked it. Also, since I haven't done it yet, I do not own anything but my OC, Hope and Solarstorm. Thank you!
