Chapter 25: Five Seconds
Megatron growled. What was taking his TIC so long to get information out from a single fleshy?
He turned to his SIC, Starscream with a snarl.
"Starscream, where is Soundwave? What is taking him so long to get information out from a human?" He growled deeply.
"M-My Lord, I have send the Vehicons to retrieve him. He shall join us soon." Starscream bowed.
Just then, as if on cue, the Vehicons came running into the throne room. They bowed before their leader and Megatron glared at the smaller rank Vehicons with his crimson optics.
"Lord Megatron," The first Vehicon spoke. "It appears that Soundwave is nowhere to be found in this ship. We have searched every corner and still have not found him." The second Vehicon continued.
"WHAT!" Megatron slammed his fist to the armrest, breaking it into many of pieces.
"FIND HIM! FIND HIM AND BRING HIM TO ME!"
It's been a long three days in the Med Bay. Ratchet and Jolt wouldn't stop giving me scans. My injuries have been healing slowly, but they were still healing. I'm still bandaged up because Ratchet wants to keep me 'safe' from bumping into something. He was still not convinced about me going out to the town for some relaxation. It took Samuel, Mikaela, Blurr, and Hot Rod's pleading to get Optimus, Ironhide, Prowl, and Ratched to let me off the Med bay.
I was thrilled that they actually have convinced them to let me go. So, today we're actually going out to town. I want to take Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker with me, but Ironhide said that they need to take on their monthly exam. It was disappointing that they couldn't come along. I wish they can though; I still can't look Sideswipe and Sunstreaker right in their eyes. I felt guilty for not listening to them and the way I react.
"Good afternoon, Janette." Ultra Magnus greeted.
"Good afternoon to you too, Mr. Magnus," I greeted back.
Ultra Magnus is a tall blur and white mech. He had taken the blue with white stripes Peterbilt 359. He has almost the same personality as Optimus. The mech is a soldier, but he's kind, caring, strong, resolute, dependable, selfless, and courageous. Sadly, Ultra Magnus is the only Autobot who doesn't realize this.
Who would have thought that Ultra Magnus is Optimus Prime's 'cousin', it surprised everybot and everyone to hear the news. I was also amazed that another Autobot could actually be as tall as Optimus. The second Peterbilt have also insisted that he would take me home when I'm released from the medics.
"Afternoon sweetspark," Hot Rod smirked as I nod.
I sense a dark aura coming from the room. I glanced over my shoulder and saw Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, and Bumblebee giving Hot Rod a glare. I smiled nervously as I turned back to the red Autobot.
Hot Rod is a red mech with an attitude. He had taken the red Mc Laren F1. What I've heard from Prowl is that Hot Rod is a brash and headstrong, with an overwhelming self-confidence that borders on arrogance. But, he isn't so bad when you get to know him. I also learned that the red mech has a thing for street racing. He found it fascinating to race with the humans, if he doesn't get caught by the SIC and Barricade. I kind of offered that I'll take him racing one day and Hot Rod took that offer happily.
But, the twins and Bumblebee weren't happy with my decision though.
"Afternoon-Jen! What-fine-afternoon-this-is! The-perfect-day-time-to-go-out-and-play! Hey! Isn't-that-a-fly?! Where-did-it-go! Gotta-smack-that-fraggin'-fly!" Blurr chirped happily.
I laughed and smiled at the blue Autobot, "Morning to you too Mr. Blurr, and the fly you're looking for is to your left, then turn around, jump, and there you go." I said as Blurr nodded.
Blurr is a blue hyperactive and fast Autobot. He had taken the new blue Volks Wagon Rieger Scirocco. He's very playful and keeps me company during my time in Med Bay. He can't keep still in one place for too long. He simply loves to speed around the base which got him a few tickets from Prowl and Barricade. But, he can't wait to get out of base and speed up at the roads.
Secretly, Blurr told me that he's Bumblebee's older brother! I can't believe my ears, but they do somewhat look alike.
"Good afternoon, Jen." Smokescreen smiled.
"Good afternoon to you too, Mr. Screen," I smiled back at the blue and white Autobot.
Smokescreen is a blue and white young mech. He had taken the blue and white Koenigsegg Agera. He's a determined, smart, kindsparked, and rather funny mech. He told me stories of when he's just a scout in Cybertron, now he's a first class soldier under the wing of Ultra Magnus. I was surprised that he told me about his idolization. I understand that he idolized Optimus and would do anything to impress him. I also idolize the triplets and Moonracer, they're… cool. We both agree to keep our idolizations as secrets only to ourselves.
I leaned against the railing as William and Robert walks underneath the catwalk. They both gave me a wave and I wave my hand back.
"You sure you want to go out? You're still recovering!" William yelled.
I nodded, "I'm sure a few hours in town won't hurt." I shout back.
Ratchet snorted. "Yeah right, you are in no shape or in any condition to walk around!" he scolded.
"Aw-but-Ratch! You-and-the-others-said-yes!" Blurr whined.
"Yes, yes we did," Ratchet sighed. "But now I regret it." He glared at the blue Autobot.
"Loosen up Ratchet," Mirage spoke up using an Italian accent. "The kid needs fresh air and she needs to rung along with the other kids, right Senorita?" the Ferrari turned to me as I only shrugged.
"Yeah, Ratch… Just chill out an relax yourself." Jazz placed his arm around Ratchet's neck. "I'm sure Moonracer will love to spend time with cha." He smirked, earning himself a good whack from Ratchet.
I laughed nervously at the two Autobot. They both looked like an old married couple, almost like Bulkhead and Ironhide. Oh yeah, Perceptor and Wheeljack made me a new cell phone, which makes the others worry because Wheeljack's invention always ended up in an explosion, but this time it didn't. Perceptor make sure of that.
Heavy footsteps were heard from the main door as Optimus and Elita-One entered the main hangar. They both were, I guess, briefing Samuel and Mikaela. I don't know why though, but I think it concerns me in their conversation.
Optimus set both Samuel and Mikaela down next to me. Mikaela gave me a light hug as Samuel and I fist punch, with my not injured hand of course.
"Now remember, younglings…" Optimus started. "Always stays with either one Autobot or more. We don't want any of you three getting hurt." He said like a father to his kids.
"Yeah, boss bot. We got it." Samuel smiled as he gave a thumb up.
Mikaela turned to me with a smile. "Are you ready to be back in the outside world?" She asked.
"Yeah," I smiled back. "Good luck Mr. Swipe, Mr. Streaker, and Mr. Bee. I'm sure you three will pass Sir Hide's exams." I waved my hand to them as I entered Smokescreen's alt-mode.
"Thanks…" The twins grumble.
"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." Bumblebee chirped as he slumps down.
I gave one last smile before closing the door. I adjusted the mirrors and saw Samuel getting inside of Blurr and Mikaela getting inside of Hot Rod. Both William and Robert decided to ride inside the Peterbilt. The leader of this 'mission' or Ultra Magnus leaded the way as we all followed him from his rear. I look back to the mirror and saw the medics' worried faces. I let out a small sigh as I smiled. They were just too protective. What could possible go wrong?
I mean there are four Autobots and two soldiers coming with us.
Sometimes, the Autobots are like overprotective mother hens. No offence or anything guys.
The radio clicked to life as I was deep in my thoughts. "Hey, you okay?" Smokescreen asked.
I snapped back to reality and smiled at the radio. "Yes, I am fine. Thank you for asking." I replied.
"It's going to be a long half an hour, what are we going to do to pass the time?" He asked.
"How about you tell me why you idolized Mr. Prime, Mr. Screen." I smiled keeping my eyes locked on the road.
I heard a chuckle. "Alright, but you have to tell me why you idolize the triplets and Moonracer."
"Deal,"
"Alright, Optimus Prime is the Leader of the Autobots. He's like the most powerful mech who ever lived now. He's the Autobot who saves many lives back in our planet. He was the one who saved me from Decepticons. So, I guess from that day forward. I began to idolize him and want to impress him with all I can. You know? What you humans call it? Oh yes, a fan?" Smokescreen chuckled lightly as he explains his story.
"Enough about me," He clicked. "What about you, Jen?" He asked.
I chuckled and smiled. "Well, the triplets and Moonracer are girls or in your language femmes. They're femmes, but yet, strong femmes. I want to be as strong as them. They're Intelligent, powerful, brave, determined, kindsparked, and beautiful." I explained.
"But, Jen," Smokescreen laughed. "You are smart, brave, kindhearted, and beautiful from the stories I heard between the Autobots. The lambo twins wouldn't stop talking about you and the scout too. They were impress that you are brave enough to talk back to a Decepticon. No human has ever done that though. Soundwave and Barricade also told me stories about you. You just haven't realized that the flower in you, that's all." He said clearly.
My blue eyes widened. I can't be like that now can I? It's impossible that I was like that in Smokescreen's answer.
So, I laughed. "You're a joker, Mr. Screen." I pat the dashboard.
"I am not!" Smokescreen sighed loudly. "You're just like Ultra Magnus." He beeped.
"What?"
"Never mind… You're clueless."
After a half an hour of driving, we finally arrived at our destination, The Bowling Alley. I still can't believe that they convinced me to come and play at this place. I'm not good at bowling and I'm not even strong enough to lift the heavy marble balls. Ratchet was right; going out to town is a bad idea. Maybe it's not too late to go back to base…
"Alley six and seven please," Samuel requested.
It's too late
I groaned as I switched my shoes to the bowling shoes. It wasn't squeaky, but it was still a bit unconvertible. I flexed my muscles as I walk towards the alley six. We rented alley six and seven because there's nine of us and we were divided into two groups. Group one is team Autobots and Group two is team humans. It's four against five, and the winning team will decide where we'll go next. I exhaled deeply; I know I'm going to bring my team down, because I suck at this game.
"Alright, Autobots…" Robert smirked. "Are you ready to lose?" He taunted.
"As if!" Hot Rod laughed. "We're gonna beat your afts!" He exclaimed excitedly.
Ultra Magnus only sighed deeply as he sat down.
The new Autobots have just got their holoforms installed by Perceptor.
Ultra Magnus is a man around his early thirties. His hair is similar to Optimus, but more light blue and spiky. He also had a beard to complete the look. His clothes are a white t-shirt, slightly tucked in his dark blue jeans with a brown belt, a blue with white stripes jacket, and a pair of combat boots. I laughed nervously as I heard a few women began to whisper about Ultra Magnus' looks. I snickered, earning a look from Ultra Magnus.
Blurr is a young twenty two year old man, he told me his age. He was surprisingly similar to Bumblebee, but only his hair is blue with a single black stripe. His clothes are a blue leather jacket over a black and white t-shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of white DC shoes. The fast blue Autobot in disguised got a few young women's looking at him. He slightly wave at them and grinned as the females began to giggle.
Hot Rod is a young man around his twenties. His red hair is a bit spiked up and his right ear got a single black ear piercing. His clothes are a red unbuttoned shirt over a long-sleeved yellow shirt, a few sport bracelets, grey jeans, and red with orange sneakers. He winked at the female next to him, which is in alley number five. I rolled my eyes as the girls became to squeal. Now I know that Hot Rod is a ladies-man.
Lastly, Smokescreen is a young man around his twenties. His silver hair is short and spiked a bit. His hair also got a single red strike in them. His clothes are a blue jacket with fur lining on the hood, a white V-neck shirt, grey skinny jeans with loose belts, and a pair of black converse. Again, I shook my head as girls were circling him.
What is with the bowling alley filled with girls today?
I look up to the sign and face palmed. Of course, today's the gathering of the Female Bowling Club.
Sighing heavily, Mikaela sat next to me.
"What the matter?" She curiously asked.
I glanced over to her and slumped down. "Nothing, it's just I can play bowling. I think I'll watch from the background." I smiled as Mikaela huffed.
"You're playing and that's final! Sam got us light bowling balls!" She chirped happily as I simply smiled.
We all settled down and watched as the first two come up to the alley. It was William VS. Blurr. Who would win?
Blurr goes first and he got a spare! He cheered happily and high-fived with Hot Rod, who in returned smirked at him.
Next was William, he eyed the pins with his keen eyes and made the shot. He actually got a strike. He cheered loudly while chest bumping with Robert and Samuel. I smiled; at least our team is winning.
Next is Hot Rod VS. Robert.
"Prepare to eat my dust, Hotty." Robert smirked.
"Hah! AS IF! You're the one who's going to eat my dust, balldy! Get it?" Hot Rod laughed as we all snickered a bit.
Robert grumbles something as he tossed the ball to the pins, he hit five of the pins and one more tossing, and it's a spare. He raised his hands up as were clapped for him.
"Thank you, thank you, you're too kind. Beat that Hot Head." Robert smirked as he high-fived with Samuel.
"Oh believe me, I will win." Hot Shot smirked as he tosses the ball to the polished floor. He stared at the ball as he got a strike. The girls squealed happily as they cheered for Hot Rod. "Oh ladies, ladies, thank you, thank you." He bowed at the girls.
I playfully rolled my eyes as Robert glares at him.
"Jerk." Robert coughed out.
"Loser." Hot Rod coughed out as well.
"Stop it, nitwits." Samuel coughed.
I smiled. "Do you guys need any medicine? I can call Doctor Ratchet if you want." I suggested as I pulled out my cell phone.
They all looked at me and began to laughed out loud, even Ultra Magnus did too. I perked an eyebrow up, what's wrong with calling in Ratchet for help?
Mikaela placed a hand on my shoulder as she wiped her tears away. "Aw, Jen you're such a comedian! Nice job!" She slapped my back lightly.
"Um… Okay?" I answered confusedly.
"Okay! My turn!" Samuel chirped happily as he skipped to the alley. "Aw C'mon! Not him! Why! Why can't it be Smokescreen?!" He whined to the ceiling as Ultra Magnus gave a chuckle.
"I'll take that as an insult, boy." Smokescreen growled as he glared at Samuel, who in return shrugged.
It was Samuel VS. Ultra Magnus
"Here goes nothin'!" Samuel chirped as he tossed the ball. His expression brightened when the ball went straight for the middle pin, but it moved away and it turns out to be a gutter ball. "AW C'MON! This game is rigged!" he tossed his arms up in the air.
Ultra Magnus chuckled again and tossed the ball perfectly and it hit a strike.
"Really man? Really?! That's bullshit!" Samuel cursed. "Dang it!" he slumped down to the chair as Ultra Magnus smiled.
Next is Smokescreen VS. Mikaela
"Prepare to eat my smoke, Smoke." Mikaela snickered while Smokescreen rolled his eyes.
"Puh-leased!" He snorted as he watched Mikaela swing the ball and it hit a spare. "I can do better than that!" He smirked.
"Oh yeah? I would to see you try your best!" Mikaela placed her hands on her hips.
"Just watch and learn femme." Smokescreen smirked as he tossed the ball. "A strike and one more strike from us and we win." He said.
Mikaela crossed her arms and pouted as Samuel grabbed my shoulders gently. "Jen! We need a strike in order to win! Can you do that?" He asked with his puppy dog eyes.
"I think I can…" I answered, unsure.
"Good! Go for it soldier!" William cheered as Robert did the same.
I gulped. Do they have to put so much pressure on me?
I sighed heavily as I grabbed the lightest ball. I closed my eyes and tossed it, but sadly I slipped and the ball was already thrown. I groaned as Smokescreen appeared beside me. He helped me up as we both watched the ball hit a strike. Wow, never thought I could do that, thank you accidental throwing.
"Nice shot… But, you okay?" Smokescreen asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm good." I said as I dusted the dust off of my jeans.
I was suddenly hugged from behind and I found Mikaela. She was so happy and so as Samuel, William, and Robert. We never thought that we could actually win against the Autobots.
"So? Wat are we going to do next?" Hot Rod sighed in defeat.
"We're going to play Laser Tag!" They all exclaimed happily as the Autobots and I exchange looks.
So after bowling, we play laser tag, which is really a fun activity. The Autobots win though; they cheated by using their aiming skills. Samuel and Robert weren't so lucky after the game. They lost twenty dollars to Hot Rod and Smokescreen. You see, they made a bet that if the Autobots win then the two will hand in each twenty dollars. But if the humans win then the two Autobots will have to pay up the same bill. William, Mikaela, and I decided to not join the bet as did Blurr and Ultra Magnus.
We were all worn out, but there was still one place we haven't visited, the Arcade. Samuel wanted to show Blurr how to play DDR while the other wanted to play either a shooting game or something. I decided to go to the arcade and play catch something. I want to bring the twins and Bumblebee a gift. A teddy bear or anything I find fitting for them.
I spotted a crane game. It had two dolls that looked really fitting for the twins and Bumblebee, a teddy bear with a red and yellow bow and a bumblebee. I smiled and inserted the token.
I moved the crane to caught the teddy bear's head, but it caught something else, a dragon's tail. I sighed, but whatever. I actually caught the stuff dragon. I stared at it for a moment. Hope they'll like this. I felt someone tugged my jacket from behind. I turned around and saw a little Chinese girl. She was looking at the dragon toy. I smiled and bends down to her level.
"Zài zhèlǐ, tā shì wèi nǐ. (Here. it's for you.)" I smiled as I gave the dragon to the little girl.
"Gǎnxiè nǐ de dà jiě jie. (Thank you big sister!)" She squealed happily.
I waved my hand as the little girl skipped happily to her mom and dad. Speaking of mom and dad, I wonder if they're back from German yet. It makes me worry when Emily is all alone at the house. I frown slightly, what if Trent comes and did something to the house or worse, he might've hurt Emily! I slapped myself as the thought came. No, he would never do that. He's her boyfriend.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Someone asked; who I recognized as Smokescreen.
I shook my head. "Nothing… Just thinking of my sister," I sighed.
Smokescreen frowns, "Jen from what I've heard about your sister. She's a mean, selfish, forgetful, flirtatious, and evil femme." He sighed heavily.
"Where did you hear that?" I asked curiously.
"The lambo twins. Why asked?" Smokescreen crossed his arm.
I sighed and giggled. Those two don't know a thing about my sister. Emily is a nice, caring, sweet, and kindhearted girl. Unlike what Sideswipe and Sunstreaker describe.
"Here," I 'oofed' as a stuff animal was thrown to my face. I grabbed the stuff animals from my face and stared at it. It was the Teddy bear and bumblebee that I wanted to give! "You want it right? So there." He blushed a bit as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Thank you… I'm sure Mr. Swipe, Mr. Streaker, and Mr. Bee will like it." I smiled.
"How fitting," Smokescreen rolled his eyes. "By the way, that was nice of you to give that stuff mystical animal to that Chinese girl. How do you know Chinese anyway?" He asked as we both approached Samuel and Blurr, who were dancing at the DDR mat.
"Thank you, and I guess I learned it from Chris." I smiled as I hugged the stuff animals.
"Whoa!" Smokescreen stared at me with shock. "You didn't use a 'Mr.'! Did I do something wrong to damage your processor?" He asked worriedly.
I laughed. "No, no… Chris is an old childhood friend of mine." I answered.
"I see…" He sighed.
We glanced around the arcade and found Samuel getting beaten up by Blurr in DDR, William and Robert playing Call of Duty 4, Ultra Magnus sitting on the bench, Mikaela playing with the Motor racing game, and finally Hot Rod flirting with girls.
"I swear; they're like sparklings… not Ultra Magnus of course…" Smokescreen ran a hand down his face.
I laughed, "But it never seems to be boring."
"You're right."
It was already five in the afternoon, we had so much fun that we lost track of time. I think that Ratchet is going to kill us; I just feel that he's already throwing wrenches at someone. Well, Samuel kept on challenging Blurr for a rematch. Eventually, we have to drag those two out of the arcade.
We all walked until we all stopped at a stoplight, the light flashing bright red. I stayed quiet, I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about crossing this street.
My thoughts were cut off when the light flashed green. The boys decided to walk across first while I waited for Mikaela because she dropped her phone. There was still ten seconds left, so we both decided to run across.
There was a flashing white light coming towards us. I glanced to my right and saw a silver car, driving with speed towards us. At first, I thought he or she was stopping because we still have seven seconds left. But, I was wrong. That car was still speeding, even faster now.
My eyes widened in fear and shock. We were going to get hit and maybe we can't even survive after the hit. I have to make a choice; either it's me or Mikaela.
I pushed Mikaela out of the way as the car was only a few inches from us.
The car hit me hardly and everything felt so slow, like time was slowing down.
I could hear the screams of the Autobots, William, Robert, Samuel, and Mikaela. They sounded terrified, but I can't hear that well anymore. I think my head just hit the road and I think it's bleeding. It hurts, my whole body hurts.
I felt the vibration of the car turning away from my body. It was buzzing and my fission was blurring.
Who was that guys anyway?
We still got five seconds left…
A/N: o_O OMG! What's going to happen next! OH shizz man!
