Edited: 20/12/16
Previously: "Oliver was still with the girls slightly agitated and worried mostly about Light. 'What if it's a trap, worse what if it's a child one that got caught up in the battle. What would we do with it?' He thought.
"Holy Cow" Exclaimed Lightning as she put her hand in front of her mouth in shock "What is it? Is it a kid? Is it hurt?" Oliver started bombarding her with questions. "I'm...well...It's not a..." Lightning stuttered still in shock.
"Well what" He demanded getting frustrated with his sister
"It's...It's..a...s..sparkling""
Chapter 3: Sparklings
Normal POV:
"What?!" They yelled,
"SSHHHH!" Whispered Lightning as she watched said sparkling try and hide itself further into the shadows hoping to just disappear.
"We need to kill it" exclaimed Oliver "it's probably one of those ones made earlier when Sam slammed the cube on the floor during that fight" as he took a couple of steps towards Light.
"Come any closer and I'll cut off your manhood and send you to Unicron himself" hissed Lightning, not even bothering to look in her brothers direction.
"What?" He hissed back "Damn it Light you saw how those things reacted earlier" not moving from his current spot.
Light sighed "of course I do but for heavens sake use you brain for once bro" she said "what would you do if you had woken surrounded by giants with no idea what's going on?" She asked him.
Oliver pondered for a minute before his shoulders slumped in defeat "I would have done the same thing" he replied.
Light smiled as she saw her brother understand. "So what does it look like?" asked Angel as her and Lily approached slowly.
"Don't move" commanded Light as she held her out towards her sisters, she turned back to the sparkling. "She is seriously freaked out right now" she said.
"It's a girl?" Asked Lily, "How do you know?"
"One she is a femme, well the Cybertronian term anyway plus her frame gives it away really" said Light. She slowly crouched down near the sparkling "shh shh don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you" whispered lightning as she held her hands up in surrender, her siblings didn't move as they watched their older sister try and approach the sparkling. The sparkling was very small, roughly coming up to Lightnings knees in height. Her frame was white in majority with a few speckles of black and silver dotted around. 'She was probably that Xbox that got turned by the All Spark' though Lightning as quickly went through in her mind exactly what technology was turned during the battle. Said femme looked up curiously at Lightning, however the fear still showed in her optics.
"Huh, you've got purple optics" mused Lightning as she noticed the little ones optic colour.
"What does that mean?" Asked Angel "it means shes not an Autobot or Decepticon" Lighting answered back, as this happened said sparkling held her servo towards her optics. "Do you understand me?" Asked Lightning as she watched the sparkling, which nodded it's head in a yes motion.
"How on earth does it know English?" Asked Oliver, who was now confused.
"Tch, they are super computers Oliver, remember it's probably in the programming to download the surrounding language so she knew what was going on" replied Angel
"Know it all" grumbled Oliver as he crossed his arms, Lighting started talking to the sparkling again before Angel could retort back.
"Don't worry" Lightning said "we're the good guys, see this" she said as she pointed to her arm with the tattoo on it "it means we're with the Autobots",
the sparkling seemed to understand "bots?" she asked slightly curious
Lightning chuckled "yeah bots they are the good guys, remember the fight with the really big Giants earlier?" Lightning asked as she held her arms out in emphasis, the sparkling again nodded "well the ones with blue optics are the Autobots the good guys but the ones with red are bad guys they are meanies" Lightning explained.
The sparkling made a face when Lightning mentioned the decepticons "me no like meanies" replied the sparkling.
Lightning laughed "not a lot of people do Hun".
"Pssst, Oliver pass me my spare phone from my bag" Light said as she held her right arm out to her brother, said brother reached into her bag and grabbed Light's old Nokia before handing it to her
"What are you doing now" he asked
"well" Light explained "I read a few fictions on where some people had a sparkling and gave it batteries, this little one hasn't had any energon which in itself is dangerous for any Cybertronian so I thought why not give it a shot".
Oliver just shrugged his shoulders "fair enough" he replied back.
"Here" light said as she handed the battery towards the sparkling, who timidly reached out and grabbed the battery before slowly munching on it "better?" Asked Lightning the sparkling nodded as it gobbled down the rest of the battery.
"So now what?" Asked Angel and no sooner had she asked, there was lots of shouting and laughing coming from the entrance of the alley as a big group of teenagers walking past, unfortunately at the sight of the teens the sparkling got scared and launched herself into Lightnings arms.
"Ooff" said Lightning as she lost her balance and fell backwards onto her bum, looking down at the sparkling which had started whimpering in her lap. "First is that we're gonna get this sparkling to the autobots" said Light as she started rubbing small circles on the Sparkling's back, "Oliver and Angel head back to the hotel, grab our bags and check out and come meet me and Lily-Ann back here, I can't go anywhere with the sparkling like this and I doubt she's gonna let go anytime soon" she said as put her arms out to her side and saw the sparkling still latching itself tightly into Lights chest.
"Gotcha" nodded Oliver as him and Angel ran back to the hotel, Lily turned to Light and slowly walked towards her.
"Can I say hi?" She asked as she crouched down next to light, Light smiled.
"Psst" she said as she nudged the top of the Sparklings head with her own, said sparkling looked up curiously "this is Lily-Ann" said Lightning as she pointed to said person, "She's my youngest sister" she explained,
"Lily?" Asked the sparkling as she pointed to Lily.
Lily smiled "yes, Lily" she said as she pointed to herself the sparkling looked over to Lightning and pointed to her,
"I'm lightning" Light said as she pointed to herself
"Light" chirped the sparkling in delight
"haha, yes Lily and light" said Lighting as she smiled at the happy sparkling.
The sparkling then pointed to its self and chirped curiously "Oh of course, you need a name as well, don't you" exclaimed Lighting as she realised they had yet to give the sparkling a name, they couldn't keep calling it sparkling could they.
"Hmmm…." Said Lily as she sat down next to Light, placed her right arm under her chin and started to think "what about snowy? Cos she is mostly white" asked Lily after thinking for a few minutes, the sparkling made a face at the name.
"Hehe, I don't think she likes it" said Lightning as she watched her sister come up with names and the Sparklings reaction to them.
"Ohh ok spotty then?" The sparkling shook it's head.
"Umm…gears no no silver no wait even better shadow" said Lily as she started to come up with even more names, the sparkling crossed her arms and chirped angrily at Lily. Lightning laughed at her sister and the Sparklings antics
"you are a fussy one aren't you" enquires Lightning as she looked at the sparkling, who just looked back at her with a slightly too innocent looking face.
It had been a few minutes of silence as the two sisters tried to come up with names, a whole lot harder then it looks, Lily-Ann, who has the attention span of a ten year old was starting to get bored. She stood up and kicked a can over watching it as it made a clang sound that echoed throughout the alley. She grinned as she started getting an idea.
"Helllooooo" shouted Lily-Ann, pulling Lightning out of her thoughts as she turned to her baby sis,
"what are you doing?" She asked, slightly afraid of the answer she might get back hoping it wasn't that her sister was bored.
"I'm bored" Lily replied, scrap, "I kicked a can over and it made an echo noise, did you know this alley makes for some really good echoes" Lily explained casually.
The sparkling tilted it's head in confusion "e-cho?" It asked.
"Yeah, echo" explained Lily "just say something really loud and listen" Lily took in a gulp of air before shouting "ECHO!" Off the top of her voice and within a few seconds you could here the air responding back with 'echo'.
The sparkling laughed "I try I try" she exclaimed as she threw her hands in the air. The sparkling repeated what Lily did and then yelled echo as well giggling in delight as she heard the echo. "Yay echo" she giggled as she clasped her servos together.
Light watched the sparkling in amusement as it kept saying echo over and over again, "Echo" she mumbled, then started to smile "I got it" she said,
"got what?" Asked Lily as she and the sparkling turned to Light.
"Her name" Lighting said as looked to the sparkling in her lap "how about we call you Echo?" She asked. The sparkling looked down as she thought about it before looking back up and chirping happily, she then pointed to herself
"Echo"
Light smiled as she nudged her head against the sparkling, now called echo "yes, little one, Echo" she whispered. Lily-Ann smiled as she watched the interaction going on between Echo and Lightning.
"I still think we should call her snowy" she said saying in a half joking matter. The other two looked at her before laughing .
"I think that receptionist didn't like us" said Angel as her and Oliver headed back down the alley towards their siblings while holding all their gear.
"Oh what gave it away sis?" Asked Oliver sarcastically "was it when she gave us that cold glare when we told her we were checking out early or when she started screaming at us to never return as we ran when we realised we had no money to pay her for the room?". However before Angel replied they heard Laughter coming from up ahead. 'I guess the Sparkling is happy now' thought Angel as Oliver shrugged his shoulders and ran up to the others,Angel following behind.
"Yo, we got our stuff" said Oliver as he dumped his bags down on the floor, Angel did the same before asking "what's going on?".
"Guys" Lightning started, she picked up Echo from underneath her armpits and held her up "meet Echo", Echo giggled as she waved her right arm.
"So you named her?" Asked Oliver as he walked towards them
"yep" Lightning said "shoulda' seen some of the stuff Lily came up with though" she giggled as she thought about what happened earlier.
"Ok, we got our stuff now where?" Asked Angel. "It's gonna start getting dark soon"
"Well earlier when we were getting some clothes I also got a map of the area, if we go East of here we should come up to some old warehouses not being used, perfect place to hid a sparkling and to meet up with the autobots" Lightning explained
"okay…" Said Angel as she thought over this plan "how are we gonna get in contact with the autobots then?" She asked.
"Tell me sis" grinned Lightning as she looked over at Angel "how good are your hacking skills?"
Angels face lit up at the challenge her sister seemed to be giving her "if we can find out where they are should be a piece of cake" she responded with.
"Hoover dam" said Oliver, four pair of eyes turned to him "think about it, where is the closest place to hide 4 autobots that is big enough to accommodate someone the size of Optimus straight after the Mission city attack" he finished explaining.
Angel turned to Light and pointed to her older brother "did Oliver just say something smart" she asked still struggling to believe what she heard
"hey!" Said Oliver from behind her, clearly irritated. Lily and Echo laughed at what was going on.
"Right, let's get going then before it gets too dark" said Lightning as she got up off the ground while still holding Echo and approached one of the backpacks that the kids had. "Ok Echo, I need you to get in the bag Hun" she said as she crouched down "don't worry it's not for long, it's just so we can get through the city without attracting any unwanted attention" she reassured the sparkling. Echo looked at her for a brief moment before getting in the bag "atta girl" praised Lightning as she picked up said backpack and slung it on her shoulders. "Let's go then" she said as she got out at started walking, her three younger siblings following behind her and the little sparkling unzipping part of the bag to peak out at the current surroundings.
-At Hoover Dam—
It was late in the evening now, around nine almost ten o'clock when Optimus woke up from recharge, looking around he saw the rest of his soldiers slowly getting up as well. Ratchet got up and went over to Jazz and Bee making sure Bee was steady enough to walk on his own and that Jazz was still functioning properly, while Ironhide made his way over prime. "you think the humans had any luck finding that girl?" Ironhide asked
"hopefully we must pray that the remaining decepticons have not yet got wind of this" Optimus replied with as he crossed his arms and watched the interaction between his CMO and youngest soldier.
However all of a sudden the lights in the current room started flashing and a siren noise started going off, the Autobots could hear shouting from the humans in the next room over, "something's wrong" said Optimus as he started to walk to the control room – the room they were in earlier with Lennox and the others.
"Captain" Optimus said as he saw Lennox with some other men, trying to keep the panic at a low
"what's going on?" Asked Ratchet,
Lennox sighed as he saw the bots approach him "someone is hacking the mainframe, we can't get them out and we can't work out what their looking for" he explained.
Simmons on the other hand was up on the balcony with the men at the computers "can someone please explain to me as to why no one can catch this bloody hacker!" Yelled Simmons, frustration starting to take over. The young Aussie Maggie was currently at the computers as well with Glen helping to try and stop the hacker
"I've got good news and bad news" Maggie yelled over her shoulder to Simmons while typing away at the computer simultaneously.
"We'll give us the good news first" commanded Keller as he arrived on scene with Sam and Mikaela following behind. "And someone turn off those dam sirens" he yelled to no one in particular and within seconds the sirens stopped.
"Good news, it isn't a Decepticon" confirmed Maggie as she got up and went towards Keller, Glen took over for her
"you sure?" Asked Optimus.
"I was there to analyse the hacks of Qatar and and of Air Force one that were done by decepticons this is human." Explained Maggie
"and the bad news?" Keller asked
"Whoever it is is seriously good, Glen is the best of the best when it comes to hacking, I've seen him do it first hand however he is seriously struggling to keep up with whoever this is, their able to hack through our systems while being able to completely cover themselves, we can't trace it back to its source." Maggie explained and to prove her point she turned to look at Glen who was typing away furiously at the keyboard trying to keep up with the hacker, however he suddenly stopped. "Glen, what's wrong" Maggie asked as she saw her friend stop typing
"He's gone" mumbled Glen
"what do mean gone" Simmons asked
"he's gone the hacker, he's withdrawn from the mainframe" explained Glen as he took off his glasses and started to massage his left hand which had started going numb.
"Was anything taken?" Asked Optimus as he and his men watched what was going on
"um… No" Glen said, rather surprised at that, expecting at least something. He scanned his computer again "no..wait… The hacker didn't take anything but did leave something, systems checked it no virus no nothing, completely safe." Glen said as typed a few more things down.
"You positive about this" asked Maggie
"sure as can be Mags, to be honest what the hacker left was some sort of email, however what's worrying is what he's labelled it as" Glen replied "he labelled it to the Autobots" he said as turned to face Keller. The autobots looked at each other confusion written all over their faces, obviously having no idea who this could be. Keller stood in thought before he looked at Glen
"open it" he simply said, Glen turned and clicked on the email and brought it up to the big screen so that everyone could see and started to read out the email…
HELLO America! And autobots!
You don't know me but I know all about you
Yes you Optimus, Ratchet, Ironhide, Jazz and Bee
I know all about you guys and the whole Mission city fiasco with the cube and Megatron.
Look I need your help
I need you to meet me at midnight at the abandoned group of warehouses in the East
Part of Mission city.
Trust me this isn't a trap, I'm an autobot loyalist all the way though if you need proof then click on the attachment
Below, I believe Lennox and Epps will find it amusing ;)
Sorry Glen for giving you a hard time with the hacking but I needed to make sure you couldn't trace me
See ya later
Lightning
Xx
"Wait, I got out hacked by a chick?!" Exclaimed Glen, Keller ignored the outburst and turned to Optimus
"do you know about this Lightning?" Keller asked
"Negative" responded Prime "As far as we know we have no ally by the name of Lightning" he explained.
"Well whoever Lightning is she knows you, what's the attachment?" Will asked as he turned from the autobots back to Glen.
"not sure hold on" said Glen as he went to click on the attachment.
Suddenly a video clip started to play on the big screen "is that... us?" Asked Jazz as he pointed to the screen and sure enough the video showed the five autobots surrounding sector seven from earlier when they had taken Sam and Mikaela from his home, Jazz started to chuckle as he recognised the scene that was playing "dude this bit was brill" he said to Lennox and Epps, who both turned to watch the screen. Bee made some beeping noises as he hid his face in his servos. Prime, Ratchet and Ironhide all had small smiles on their face as the memory played back in their mind.
Within seconds both Lennox and Epps where full on laughing, they saw the video and watched as Bee had 'pissed' on Simmons, most of the soldiers standing around had started sniggering at it unfortunately Simmons was still in the room and had completely turned red in embarrassment at the video mentally thinking that this girl is going to pay when he finds her.
Optimus cleared his voice to get the attention of Lennox and Epps before turning to Keller "now we have a new situation on our hands, at the time of this event there was no one around and no one standing near me with a camera either for this to have been filmed." He explained.
"So what should we do?" Asked Ironhide.
Optimus pondered before he sighed "we go to this meeting sight tonight and determine if this Lighting is a threat or not"
Jazz pumped his fist in the air "yeah, field trip I can finally test my wheels" he exclaimed in happiness.
Keller sighed and looked over to Lennox and Epps and pointed at them "I want you to go with them and some other men from your unit as well just in case, having cars driving themselves won't be taken lightly round here" Keller explained. "Yes sir" they responded back with
"Sir, if I may. That may not be necessary" explained Ratchet "I have the technology for us to project a solidified image of your species so we fit in" he continued but Optimus then explained in simpler terms, as Ratchet had confused Keller with all his scientific terms, simple explaining that they were able to project a human looking image to blend in better.
"My statement still stands, I want them with you, just in case" Keller said, despite that reassurance he didn't want to take any chances.
"Alright, we have just less then a few hours before midnight, autobots prepare to transform and roll out"Optimus said as he turned to his comrades who all transformed. Lennox and Epps went straight for Ironhide while some of their men went to an extra car ready, still a tad nervous about being around giant aliens. Once everyone was ready the autobots started their engine and drove out of Hoover dam, Optimus first while the other followed behind, on their way to the abandoned warehouses to meet Lightning.
