Chapter 7: Dimensional Hopping
Normal POV:
It's only been a few minutes since the autobots left the warehouses in Mission city and were now making their way back to Hoover dam, and it was starting to get a bit hectic with Ratchet, Optimus and the unconscious Lightning. Ratchet was busy within his cab grabbing various pieces of equipment while Optimus had a small towel and was placing it against Lightning's stomach in an attempt to stop the blood loss. While having his left hand against the towel Optimus placed his right against Lights neck and started to panic when he felt that her pulse was getting weaker and slower. "Ratchet, her pulse is getting slower" Optimus said as he turned to Ratchet, worry clearly etched onto his face "I know, I know" grumbled Ratchet as he stood next to Optimus, removed the blood soaked towel and began to inject something into Lightnings stab wound.
"What are you doing" Optimus asked as he watched curiously "I can't stitch up the wound until I seal the internal damage that was done to her stomach so I'm inserting some Nanites into her stomach" Ratchet explained
"What?!" Exclaimed Optimus "wouldn't that kill her" he asked.
"In normal circumstances yes, but if you haven't noticed this girl isn't exactly normal, she pulled off a miracle and was able to use the fragging all spark, I doubt the Nanites are going to kill her" Ratchet said as he took the needle out and watched as he waited for the Nanites to work. Ratchet smiled in relief as he saw the Nanites beginning to work, grabbing an extra needle he slowly began to work On the stab wound, as it was the most critical wound it needed to be dealt with first. "Start applying pressure on that bullet wound on her shoulder" Ratchet said as he nodded his head towards Light's injured shoulder. Optimus grabbed another towel and started to apply pressure.
Both autobots had been working silently for a few minutes until a quiet moan pulled them out of their thoughts, both looked at each other before they looked down to the young girl who was starting to slowly wake up…
-Lightnings POV—
I moaned as I started to come back to me senses, what hit me? I asked myself. My whole body was in pain and I couldn't remember why the last thing I remember was being at the warehouse when Lucas showed up…oh yeah now I remember, there was that whole mini fight that happened and I ended up absorbing the all spark.
"lightning can you hear me?" Someone asked me, I'm not sure who they are, their voice was familiar but I couldn't pinpoint who it was. I felt so tired "light, can you open your eyes for me?" The voice asked again, the voice felt trust worthy so I tried opening my eyes but forced them shut as the light was literally blinding me "bright" I mumbled as I turned my head to the side "I know the light is a little bright but you need to open your eyes little one" I heard someone else say this time. I forced my eyes open again and blinked a few times allowing my eyes to adjust, I think I was in some sort of ambulance, on my left were two men. A guy looking around in his mid 40's with dark greyish hair and the guy closest to me, around in his 30's with black hair "who are you calling little?" I asked in a joking matter.
The guy closest to me chuckled as well as he heard me talk "because to us you are little" he said, the other guy just grumbled before talking "your lucky to be alive after pulling that little stunt back there" he grumbled back as he continued working. It was after he went back to working that I realised who they were, my eyes widened in surprise at i processed at who I was actually looking at. "What's wrong" the one with black hair asked looking very concerned, how did I not notice it quicker I thought, they all have those bright blue eyes.
I chuckled before responding "well I'm pretty sure you guys are normally about 30ft tall right, Optimus, Ratchet" I said as I smirked at them, the one with black hair – Optimus – laughed while Ratchet just shook his head "how are you guys…" I asked but Ratchet answered me before I could even finish asking the question "nanotechnology, and we can talk more about that later. Now you want to tell us who you and why you're here?" Ratchet asked. I sighed as I looked up to the ceiling of the hummer, which I'm guessing was actually Ratchet in his Alt mode "it's a long and really complicated story" I said as I turned back to them. "We have time" said Optimus.
I sighed again as I began talking "do you know about parallel dimensions and dimensional hopping" I asked, aiming the question mostly at Ratchet,
"the idea of the exact same worlds but with slightly different properties, yes it's possible and dimension hopping is the term used for travelling between said worlds, why are you asking about this?" He asked as he looked at me curiously "would you believe me if I told you me and my siblings are from another dimension" I asked.
Optimus stared wide eye before turning back to Ratchet, awaiting his response Ratchet sighed "after what I saw you did earlier, it doesn't really surprise me" Ratchet said, as he turned and picked up a small needle and started to come towards me with it, as soon as I saw the needle I panicked and tried to sit up to get away but Optimus stopped me by placing his hands on my shoulders and slowly pushed me back lying down "woah, what's wrong" he asked.
"Needles" I gasped out as I started to hyperventilate "f-fear of needles, r-really bad experience as a little girl" I explained as I tried to get up again but unfortunately Optimus had his hands on my shoulders and effectively held me down, Ratchet sighed "Prime distract her for me, this is a pain relief I need to administer as I need to get that bullet out of her shoulder before it gets infected" Optimus nodded in understanding before grabbing Lightnings left hand and squeezed it reassuringly
"Tell me about this other world and how you know us, is there another us in your world?" Optimus asked as he tried to distract me from Ratchet, I smiled as I tried to come up with an answer "well Kind of…" I trailed off as I chuckled nervously
"What do you mean kind of?" Optimus asked, "well" I continued "in my world you guys are actually a fictional story character franchise owned by A company called Hasbro" I continued before Optimus could ask anything "in my world a franchise was created in 1987 called 'the transformers', giant sentient beings from a planet called Cybertron and is fighting a war between autobots and decepticons. Over the years the franchise developed and changed, technology was much better, new characters where brought in and several versions of you guys were created" I explained, well as best as I could, I waited for either one of them to say something and it was Ratchet who spoke first.
"So in your world we don't physically exist but exist as fictional characters?" Ratchet asked, I nodded my head "in a nutshell yes" I said as I realised he summed it up quite well.
"Okay, so how are you here?" Optimus asked.
"We'll me and my siblings are still trying to work out that part,but from what we know so far there is definitely a time difference, here it's may 2007, in my world it was May 2014, me and my siblings were watching a movie when suddenly the lights turned off and outside the front of our house was this glowing portal, we sort of guessed that it was related to you guys because in one of the versions – transformers prime- they use this portal called a groundbridge, that could teleport you anywhere and decided to go through it, we ended up in Mission city earlier this morning and then after some really weird events ended up here with you guys." I replied with, now that I thought about it going Through that portal was probably not one of my best ideas.
"I'm not even going to comment on how stupid that was" grumbled Ratchet, Optimus just laughed before he looked back at me then "so how much do you actually know about us?" He asked, Ratchet snorted "bet you can't name at least 15 of our mechs" ratchet teased. I smirked before I started listing all the autobots I knew
"Well" I started "there's you five, then prowl, sideswipe, sunstreaker, hound, red alert, wheel jack, skids, mudflap, first aid, chromia, Arcee, Elita one, jolt, limelight, drift, crosshairs. Do you want me to continue?" I finished as I watched both Optimus and Ratchet stopped and gaped at me but then I continued
"Prowls your second in command and has a logic glitch, sides and sunny are the 'terror twins', though sunny is the vain one and hates to be called Sunny, red alert is the paranoid one while wheel Jack is the scientist who has a habit of blowing things up, first aid is another medic but not as good as Ratchet, skids and mudflap are the 'Chevy twins' and really ain't that smart, Chromia, Arcee and Elita are sisters." I finished and laughed as I watched Ratchet just froze, mouth hanging open "your gonna swallow a fly if you don't shut your mouth soon ratchet" I said as I watched him shake his head and continue administering the needle.
"How long have you known about us" Optimus asked as he finally came out of his thoughts, hmm had to think about that "I'm almost twenty now and my dad showed me transformers when I was around four years old, so roughly 16 years now" I said, I was starting to feel really tired and I felt cold, I slowly started to drift off to sleep, I welcomed it with opens arms "slag, Light don't fall asleep now, Optimus try and keep her awake" ratchet ordered as he tried to work faster on fixing my injuries
Optimus shook me a bit "come on light, you need to stay awake a little longer, we're almost back" he said "but I'm tired" I mumbled "I know you are but you need to stay awake just a little longer then you can sleep as much as you want" Optimus pleaded as he tried to keep me awake. I was grateful for his attempt but I knew that I wasn't going to be able to stay awake for much longer "sorry prime" I whispered before I finally succumbed to darkness…
-with Lennox and Epps—
Normal POV:
Lennox sighed as he tried getting ahold of sector seven again, just a few minutes ago Ironhide had informed him that Ratchet had contacted him saying that Optimus wants to get these children in the treaty under the autobot protection…oh this is gonna go well he thought. He let out a sigh of relief when he finally heard the phone actually ringing, his last five attempts had unfortunately not worked and had gone to answerphone, luckily this time he decided to call Maggies phone this time.
"hello, Maggie here" he heard when she answered the phone
"Oh thank fuck, finally" exclaimed Will "put me on speakerphone now, I have a major situation that Keller is seriously gonna wanna hear" he said quickly, he heard Maggie mumble something and then he heard Kellers voice through the phone
"This is Keller, Captain what happened" Keller asked
"We found Lightning and she's not a threat. We're on our way back now but there are a few …complications" Lennox explained. He could imagine Keller running a hand down his face in frustration.
"What complications? Keller asked
"It's all some seriously messed up shit and guys are about to get your arse's handed to ya " piped in Epps "ignore him" said Will as he glared at his friend, who shrugged his shoulders in defeat. Will then continued as he began to explain what happened.
"The girl I told you about earlier, the purple haired one with the autobot tattoo and those three other kids? Yeah that's Lightning. I know the two younger girls are with Jazz and Bee, and the boy is with us and has finally fallen asleep" Lennox said as he looked behind him to said boy, who had finally conked out in the back, completely exhausted from the previous events
"and what about this Lightning?" He heard Simmons asked, Will sighed he should of known that Simmons would also be listening in
"lightning is currently with Ratchet and Optimus and is in, unfortunately, critical condition" Lennox said, he heard several gasps from the other side of the phone "a few broken ribs, stab wound and shot wound, severe bruising and a slight concussion with a massive amount of blood loss" Lennox continued…
"Lightning and her siblings were attacked before we got here by a man named Lucas, leading a small group of soldiers – team Alpha, who guess what? Claim they work for sector seven, so something you want to get off your chest, heh Simmons?" Will directed at Simmons.
"That can't be right" he heard Simmons mutter "all groups go by 'unit A, B, C etc. etc.' and secondly all units are here and busily helping with repairs here."he finished saying. Lennox sighed "so we've got some group that know all about the autobots and the all spark and were willingly ready to kill innocent children, that the government may not even know about" Will summed up, why did everything have to be so difficult he thought.
"told you you guys are screwed, In the short time that I've known the bots I don't think I've ever seen them so angry" Epps piped in, Suddenly Will remembered something that Ironhide had mentioned to him.
"Also" Will started "Optimus wants to change the treaty"
"How so" Keller asked
"He wants Lightning and the children involved with the treaty, he wants them all under autobot protection instead of being under government protection" Lennox explained, after seeing for himself what happened he could completely understand Primes request for the change, he waited silently for someone to reply and he didn't have to wait long.
"Oh hell no!"Simons shouted, "those children are human, they fall under Earths jurisdiction not those pesky robots" he shouted even louder down the phone. Will and Epps both exchanged looks as they realised that Simmons did have a point but before they could argue back Ironhide had already spoken out
"Now listen here you pesky human, I just received a message from prime, that he sent to me and the others, granted they are human and after tonight's events have every right to be under our protection, your government was breached and because of that four innocent children have been harmed because of it, they do not deserve to be under your protection" Ironhide finished his little speech, the air hung in silence until Keller broke it
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there, how much further from are you guys" Keller asked
"About ten minutes or so" replied Epps, suddenly Ironhide started to speed up, looking to his left Epps noticed that the other autobots had sped up as well "yo Hide what's wrong" he asked, using the nickname Will used for Hide and forgetting the fact that the phone was on and that several other humans could still hear what was going on
"ratchet just comlinked me, Lightnings losing too much blood and he hasn't got any blood banks on him, if we don't get her back to the dam now she will most likely die within the next 15 minutes" Ironhide explained "shit" exclaimed Will as he ran a hand through his hair.
"What blood type" Keller demanded through the phone, Will almost dropped the phone on shock as he forgot that he was still on the line. " we can get the equipment for a blood transfusion ready and everything as well ready for when you get here, now what blood type is she?" Keller asked again
"Type AB" responded Hide, tires screeching as he took a sharp left turn, effectively waking Oliver up
"What's happening" Oliver asked as he rubbed his right eye, noticing the speed that Ironhide was driving at
"uhhh…." The men at the front of the truck looked at each other trying to work out how to tell him what happened but Hide had already started talking
"we're travelling at this speed because your sister has lost to much blood and requires a blood transfusion and she will most likely die within the next 15 minutes if we don't get her back to the dam now" Ironhide said as if everything was fine, Lennox and Epps just glared at him while Oliver froze …
…
…
"WHAT!" Oliver screeched
"Calm down little human, your sister is with Ratchet she will be fine" Ironhide attempted to calm down the boy when he realised the mistake he made in telling him about the condition of his older sister, Oliver calmed a little when he heard she's with Ratchet "look there's the dam now" hide pointed out, trying to distract the boy.
-within Hoover dam—(just after talking to Lennox)
"Okay men, get that medbay sorted asap, we have three young children children with minimal injuries and a young adult in critical condition needing a blood transfusion, type AB, NOW MOVE!" Simmons yelled as men went to their respected posts, Sam and Mikaela looked worriedly at each other, hoping that this Lightning would be ok. They had been there when they heard the phone call and were slightly worried, if this group knew about the organisation do they know about them being involved as well then.
It only had been a few minutes when they had the call and they could hear tires screeching along the tunnels, Ratchet soon came into sight first, followed by Ironhide, Bumblebee and Jazz…but no prime. "Where's Optimus?" Sam asked aloud.
"Primes with Ratchet and Lightning" Lennox yelled up to Sam and Mikaela, who were sitting on the platforms. The two teens watched as two small girls got out of Bee and Jazz and watched as they ran over to another young teenaged boy who got out of Ironhide
"Oliver!" The two girls yelled as they ran to said brother and hugged him, "what's wrong with Light?" Lily-Ann asked, Oliver crouched down to Lily's height "don't worry Lights hurt cos she did something stupid but don't worry like Hide said, she's with Ratchet so she'll be fine" Oliver reassured his baby sister as he ruffled her hair.
"where's the medbay?" lennox asked a couple of men, said soldiers pointed in the direction of the medbay before leaving again. Lennox sighed before he went over to Ratchet, "okay medbay is set up, we need to go" Lennox said as he banged on the back of Ratchets door. Said door opened and everyone who weren't the autobots or the children just gaped as a guy came out carrying an unconscious girl in his arms
"Let's move, she needs that transfusion now!" Barked Ratchet as he changed to his bi-pedal mode and pressed that button that turned him human, now standing next to Optimus Ratchet turned to Lennox "lead the way" he simply said.
"Autobots, don't leave those children alone at any costs" Optimus said over his shoulder to his comrades before going with Ratchet and Lennox.
"Wait that was Optimus?" Sam asked as he finally worked out who the guy was after watching Ratchet transform into his human mode.
"Yep" said Jazz as he crossed his arm and looked down at the kids "don't ya worry bout ya sis, she'll be fine" he said as he tried to reassure the children. Keller was watching the whole thing, and to say he was amazed was an understatement. He watched Sam and Mikaela get down from the platform and approached the kids. Mikaela went first
"Hi I'm Mikaela and this is Sam, what's your names?" She asked as she gestured to herself and Sam. Lily hid behind Oliver while Angel spoke "I'm Angel, this is my little sister Lily-Ann and my older brother Oliver, the girl you saw with prime was Lightning" Angel said as she gestured to herself and her siblings.
"So you wanna tell us what happened?" Sam asked curiously, Mikaela glared at him before jabbing him in the chest with her elbow
"Ow, what was that for?" Sam asked as he rubbed his now bruised stomach, Lily started chuckling at the pair "it's not like I shouted the question out for it to echo out to everyone did I" Sam said
….
….
"ECHO!" The three children exclaimed,
"Echo?" Sam and Mikaela asked, even the bots were intrigued at what was going on. Angel ran over to her backpack that she left near Jazz, "Omg I'm so sorry we forgot about you echo, you ok" Angel asked as she pulled a white Xbox out of the bag.
"Your concerned about an Xbox?" Sam asked, shouldn't they be more concerned with their sister he thought.
Oliver smirked "she ain't an Xbox" he said and nodded towards Angel and 'echo' "Oi echo come say hi to the autobots" he said, the others watched in fascination as they saw the Xbox start to transform and shift until it looked like a tiny bot
"No..way" bumblebee was able to say, his voice box was still a little on the fritz, butsitting in Angels arms was echo, who smiled a little before graving at everyone
Oliver stepped forward "guys meet echo, she's a sparkling" he said "a baby cybertronian" he then said as he got a number of confused looks when he said sparkling. "Ohhh" the others said in understanding.
"How on Primus did you guys get a sparkling" Ironhide asked
"It's a long story" angel and Oliver said simultaneously.
Simmons then having observed everything that happened slowly approached "well you better start at the beginning then" he said as he crossed his arms and stared at the children.
Yayyyy! I'm done
