Chapter 31
Shortly after the Auto bots got back Sam arrived. I could hear him in the hall, "Raise your hand if you had a flying psycho ninja copier try to kill today. Those are my brass knuckles. That's my anklet; do I have to take that too? And my toe rings?" Lennox and I looked at each other as he was being scanned with a metal detector. Apparently Sam had tackled the security guards to get in here. The Auto bots had brought Sentinel back along with five pillars. Mearing was getting those locked up. I tuned her out as I was more focused on Sam.
"Sam what the hell are you doing here?" I asked. He then went on about how someone at the office had recognized him and given him some information about the dark side of the moon and the moon project.
"Allison!" Optimus called. I excused myself from Lennox and Sam's conversation which Mearing had joined in. I walked over to Optimus and climbed up him to sit on his shoulder. "Are you sure that you have my back if I bring Sentinel back?"
I heard Sam say to Mearing, "I take my orders from the Auto bots and Allison, I know them I don't you."
"You will," Mearing replied.
"I will always have your back Optimus, no matter what," I replied. By now all the other Auto bots had joined us along with some of the humans on base. Sam and his new girlfriend Carly were on the stairs leading up to the walk way so the humans on base could be eye level with the auto bots. I was now sitting on Sunny's shoulder as Optimus began the process of waking Sentinel.
"Sentinel Prime," Lennox said to Mearing as they stood behind a glass wall on an elevated platform. "He seems to run on Energon and he's out of it."
"Let us begin," Optimus said moving the matrix between his hands. Sentinel was on some sort of tilt table in the gray room with the only color being the yellow railing of the stairs and walk ways and the Auto bots.
"It's the great matrix of leadership. He holds the only thing in the universe that can repower a transformer spark," Lennox explained to Mearing. Personally I felt she should know nothing of the matrix. She was already having the pillars of Sentinel Prime locked away. Which with what I saw was to come was not a bad idea, the only thing was if an Auto bot or con wanted to get to them human lock vaults would not stop said transformer.
"Sentinel Prime. We bid you return," Optimus said pushing the matrix into Sentinel's chest. A white light like lightening went over his body causing him to shake.
He shot up yelling, "Revenge!" He pinned Optimus under him drawing his blade and holding his tip to Optimus' cables in his neck.
"No hold your fire!" Optimus called pushing the blade away from his throat. "No, Sentinel. Hold your fire. It is I, Optimus Prime." Sentinel got up off of Optimus. "It is all right. You are safe. There's nothing to fear. We are here. You are home, Sentinel." Sentinel was now looking around at the other Auto bots in the room and the humans.
"The war? The war!" Sentinel asked. He had lost time. He didn't know what had happened while he was in stasis.
"The war was lost," Optimus replied taking the matrix in his hand and getting up off the floor. Cybertron is now but a barren wasteland. We have taken refuge here on Planet Earth. Its human race is our ally."
"My ship? We came under fire. The pillars. Where are the pillars?" Sentinel asked closing his fist and taking a step toward Optimus. Well he was playing his part well.
Optimus glanced at me before answering, "You saved five of them, including the control pillar."
"Only five?" Sentinel asked un surprise, but it sounded fake. "We once had hundreds."
Mearing was now standing on the walk way that was level with Sentinel's chest. "Excuse me gentleman, may I ask, what is this technology you're looking for?"
"It is the ability to reshape the universe. Together the pillars form a space bridge. I designed and I alone can control it. It defies your laws of physics to transport matter through time and space." Apparently he had googled earth and everything about it in just a few minutes.
"You're talking about a teleportation device aren't you?" Mearing asked.
"Yes for resources for refuges," Optimus said in his deep voice.
"Refuges or troops of soldiers, weapons, maybe bombs. A means pf an instant strike, that's its military function, isn't it?" Mearing asked clearly annoyed.
"It is our technology and it must be returned," Sentinel said.
"Yes if humans say so. You can't just bring weapons of mass destruction into our atmosphere. Kind of have to declare customs first. A little formality called paperwork. Kinda separates us from the animals," Mearing said pissing on trees. I rolled my eyes as Optimus looked at me.
Sentinel turned to look at her, "I will overlook your condescending tone if you heave the gravity of mine. The Decepticons must never know the space bridge is here. For in their hands," Sentinel said moving so he was eye level with Mearing and his face was very close to hers. "it would mean the end of your world."
