Chapter 5

"I am Optimus Prime" he said almost proudly. "We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron" He continued, keeping his gaze towards Sam.

"Autobots for short" Added the green looking one to Optimus's left. I eyed him a bit before turning back to Optimus. I had calmed down a few moments ago when he was introducing himself. He didn't seem as threatening now that he was less close to my charge.

Optimus nodded at the green one's words. Then he motioned with his hand towards where the Silver one was. "My first lieutenant, designation Jazz" he said.

The silver Autobot now known as Jazz, cool name; gave us a nod. "What's cracking lil' bitches?" he said before doing s back flip onto an old car behind him. "This seems like a good place to kick it" he finished.

I raised an eyebrow at the word 'Bitches'. I doubt humans really enjoy being called a female dog; though I actually being one; was quite flattered. Not that I'm going to show it. But I sat starter, wrapping my tail around my front paws; ignoring the pain on my belly.

"How can he talk like that?" Sam asked pointing at Jazz. We all looked back to Optimus, waiting for an answer.

"We learned earth languages from the world wide web" he said smoothly.

I snorted a bit, resulting in everyone's gaze turning to me. My ears flattened. "What?" I snapped.

I faintly heard the scrapping of metal behind me. "My weapons specialist Ironhide" Optimus said gesturing behind us. We turned and came face to face—well me more than the other two since I was closer—to a large heat of the cannons barrel hitting me square on the snout.

"Feeling lucky, punk?" Ironhide said with a deep scratchy voice.

I blinked a bit in shock but recognized the challenging tone in his voice had. I immediately stood, raising my hackles and growling at him. I squared off in front of him looking him straight in the eyes. "Are you feeling lucky, Punk? I asked threateningly.

"Easy, both of you" Optimus said, almost sternly, like a father scolding his rowdy kids.

Ironhide smirked at me, putting away his cannon. "I just wanted to show them my cannons" he said to Optimus.

I relaxed as well, sitting back down. I gave Ironhide a toothy grin. "Well next time you want to show off those cannons" I started to say but narrowed my eyes at him to say the last part. "Don't point them at my humans, or I will rip you too shreds." I growled.

Ironhide's smirk disappeared for a second before returning. "I like her" he said to 'Bee, nodding. I raised a questioning eyebrow but didn't comment.

"Our medical officer, Ratchet" Optimus said again, taking our attention to the Green one, now named Ratchet.

Ratchet sniffed the air, looking at Sam and Mikaela. "The boy's pheromone levels suggest he wants to mate with the female" he mused. Both Sam and Mikaela stood there awkwardly, pretending to not have heard his comment.

Ratchets gaze then turned to me, a blue light coming from his eyes. The light sort of scanned me twice before disappearing and Ratchet opening his mouth to talk. "This creature seems to be injured and leaking" He said, moving his hand to the ground close to me. "May I?" he asked. I like him; he has manners…sort of.

I nodded and stood from my place; transforming to my humanoid form as I did so. Ratchet's eyes widened a bit, but he didn't say anything. I stood on shaky feet for a moment trying to regain balance; and slowly made my way towards his hand. I admit; it's a bit easier to walk with my stomach wound. "By the way, I'm a Demon" I said as I walked.

When I reached his hand, I used his fingers as support to lower me down and sit in his palm. His hand wasn't really bit, about the same as Bumblebee's. Maybe a little bigger, but I sat comfortably in it none the less.

One I was securely in his hand, he lifted me up so I was eye level with him. "Alright let me see it" he said, like any doctor would.

I lifted the hem of my shirt up to me ribcage. The cut was in the middle of my stomach, bloody from 'Bee's little stunt earlier. I'm not mad at him, don't worry. Ratchet examined the wound asking what had done it.

"The little mini-me bastard, that was with the cop car guy who fought 'Bee." I grumbled. Ratchet nodded. Whether he knew who I was talking about or not I didn't know.

"Can you open it, so I can see how deep it is?" he asked.

"Sure" I said "Oh, do you know what that purple stuff is? It stings like acid, but my acid is green so I know it's not mine. And I think that it's interrupting my healing ability." I said as I held the top and the bottom of the cut open so he could see.

Ratchet raised a metal eyebrow at me. "You can produce acid?" he asked sceptically.

"Yup" I responded, popping the 'P' giving him a wicked smile.

I knew that everyone's eyes were on me. But I ignored their stares by simply wagging my tail from side to side.

Ratchet just nodded a bit, and peered into the cut. His eyes glowed blue as he scanned it again, narrowing his eyes a bit.

"It appears to be energon." He said, a frown coming to his face. H lifted his other hand pointing his index finger towards the apparent energon, whatever that is. A small nozzle appeared at the tip; he sprayed some cold liquid in the cut. Slowly the energon started to seep out of the wound, until it was all gone.

Almost instantly, my stomach felt ten times better. The stinging was gone and it started to heal much quicker. "Cool, this should be gone by morning." I said inspecting the now shallower cut. I looked up at Ratchet with a smile. "Thanks" I said.

Ratchet nodded to me, a ghost of a smile gracing his face. He lowered me back down to where Sam and Mikaela were. This time I climbed out quickly and easily.

Optimus waited until I was settled, before speaking again. "And you've already met your guardian Bumblebee" he said looking towards 'Bee.

'Bee started to jump around, punching the air. "Check out the, yep second to none" he said through a rap song. I watched him fondly, with a soft smile gracing my lips.

"So you're my guardian" Sam asked

'Bee responded with a happy whirl, and then a red beam came to his throat. I tensed thinking we were being attacked. But when I looked at the source of the beam I saw that it was Ratchet.

"His vocal processors were damaged in battle; I'm still working on them." Ratchet said looking at 'Bees throat.

My ears flattened at the news. "Oh poor 'Bee" I said going over to him and patting his leg. He looked down at me with a soft whirl. Offering me a hand, I climbed up without hesitation. He lifted me up to sit on his shoulder. Snuggling comfortably and looking towards the action.

Mikaela then spoke up. "Why are you here?" She asked looking to Optimus.

Optimus turned to her and Sam. "We are here looking for the Allspark." He began. "We must find it before Megatron."

'Ooh that's his name' I thought nodding.

Optimus touched his head, activating a type of 3D hologram of a metal world. He started to tell us about their home and the war. "Our planet was once a powerful empire, peaceful and just; until we were betrayed by Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons. All who defied him were destroyed. Eventually our war consumed the planet. And the Allspark was lost to the stars." He said, the hologram disappeared and he looked at Sam again. "Megatron followed it to earth where his navigation system failed and he crashed. That's were Archival Witwicky found him."

"My great- grandfather" Sam said breathlessly.

Optimus nodded. "It was an accident that intertwined our fates. Now the coordinates of the Allspark were imprinted in his glasses." He said

"How'd you know about the glasses?" Sam asked him. My ears perked wanting to know as well.

"Ebay" he said simply. I smiled, finding it funny how casually he said it.

"If the Decepticons find the Allspark, they will use its power to transform earth's machines and build an army" Ratchet explained to us.

"And the Human race will be extinguished." Optimus finished. Standing straight he looked straight at Sam expectantly. "Samuel Witwicky, you hold the key to earth's survival."

Mikaela and I looked to Sam as well. "Please tell me you shave those glasses" Mikaela said to him.

"Well" I started, everyone turning to me. "We should go get them; we won't accomplish much just standing here." I said, motioning for 'Bee to put me down.

We drove home inside Bumblebee. All in a semi-tense silence; I say semi because I was quite relaxed, confident that we would find the glasses and secure the safety of the planet.

'Bee was quiet driving in ease for now, probably sensing my calmness, or he was happy to be with his team again or something I don't really know how alien robots work.

But it was Sam and Mikaela who were tense as statues. Sam was internally freaking out; I mean if I were given the fate of the human/demon race, I would be freaking out a bit too. Mikaela was next to fin, she most likely doesn't know what to say.

I sighed and layed down on the back seat, internally urging to 'Bee to get there faster or at least break the silence. I sure as hell wasn't going to do it. But alas; nothing, zero, zilch, nada.

I got up again and looked out of the back window, watching the rest of the Autobots follow us to the house. I think that Jazz saw me watching them because he flashed his head lights and gave a honk.

I smiled and let out a giggle at his antics. But I guess that 'Bee wasn't very amused as I was since he revved the engine a bit and the seatbelts turned me around and buckled me in snuggly against the seat. I held back a laugh trying not to upset him more, but I still shook in laughter.

"Oh calm down you big baby, I'm all yours" I whispered, patting the seating softly.

The seat warmed around me; I accepted his silent apology with a content hum, laying my head on the window sill.

We reached the house not long after, taking the alley out back to not bring too much attention. We all got out of 'Bee, and Sam started to explain the plan. "Alright Ren and I will go in and find them, you stay here and watch them." He said to Mikaela; nodding to himself a bit, it looked weird but I'm not gonna say anything.

Both Mikaela and I nodded. I looked to 'Bee and the others. "Stay here, it's safer." I said sternly, but honestly I don't expect much. I transformed and started towards the house, passing Sam as he kept telling Mikaela to watch them. "Come on sugar but" I said to him as I stood by the fence.

"Five minutes" Sam said as he moved to the fence. We crossed the yard quickly, moving to the porch.

Just as we finished getting up the porch stairs, Ron appeared on the inside of the door. "Thanks for staying on my path Sam." He said almost sarcastically.

"Dad!" he said jumping to close the door so Ron couldn't get out.

"You know" he started, sparing me a glance. "I buy half your car, Bail you out of jail, and I just decided to do all your chores." He mused.

"The chores" Sam realized, eyes widening. "I totally forgot"

"Yes, Yes you did." He said. "And what happened to Ren? She went to the groomers yesterday." He continued questioning Sam.

During all this I heard the distinct sound of metal shifting. Someone transformed. I looked back to see who it was, to find the one and only Optimus's head peeking out from the bushes. My eyes widened and I turned back towards Sam. I grabbed Sam's pants leg and pulled trying to get his attention. When he turned to me I moved my head in the direction of where Optimus was.

When Sam saw Optimus, he almost passed out on the spot. He started to stutter out his word trying to distract his dad with what I knew were empty promises. I turned away at the mention of beautiful man, tired of Sam's blubbering.

I instead decided to go berate Optimus about not doing as he was told. I looked back for a second to see that Ron had gone back inside to watch TV with Judy.

Sam joined me at the base of the stairs as Optimus and the rest of the Neverland robots entered the yard. And Sam being Sam, started to freak out. Yelling and flailing his arms around like the mad man he is. "Nonononono watch the grass, oh the fountain!" he said

Optimus lifted his foot giving a comical "Oops my bad" that I just had to laugh at, which earned me a glare from Sam

"You think this is funny? Mom's gonna kill me" he said with a pout.

Just then Mikaela appeared out of somewhere which took Sam's attention away from me and onto her.

As Sam was arguing with Mikaela, a sudden movement to my left brought my attention to Mojo. Who had gotten out and was now proceeding to mark Ironhide as his territory. This will end well. Note the sarcasm.

"Mojo no" I growled sternly at him. This brought Sam's attention to us. He instantly sprung to action running to where Mojo was, and picking him up.

"Easy, easy, this is my dog. He's a pet, like Ren; He's a companion." He said desperately trying to calm Ironhide down.

I pouted at Sam. "I resent that" I said

Ironhide growled at Mojo, pointing his cannons at the little rat. "You have a rodent infestation, Shall I terminate?" he asked more than ready to fire.

"He's not a rodent, he's a Chihuahua. We love Chihuahuas." he said motioning for either me or Mikaela to help him out.

"He leaked lubricants all over my foot" Ironhide grumbled his eyes steady on Mojo's shaking little form.

"He peed on you? Bad Mojo" Sam said to Mojo sternly.

"Bad Mojo" Ironhide repeated, also pointing a finger at Mojo.

"Alright enough dilli-daly, Sam lets go find the glasses" I said turning to head inside the house. Sam followed me dutifully, telling Mikaela to 'Keep them out of sight'.

We entered the house and went straight to Sam's room. Sam closed the door, and I transformed; starting to search for the glasses.

After a few minutes of searching, Mikaela appeared outside the window. When she was safely inside the hand she had been standing on disappeared and Optimus's head took its place. "Time is short" he said before disappearing again. Mikaela joined our search wordlessly.

Then the ground shook like an earthquake, the lights went out and I heard Judy's yelled from downstairs. Sam looked out the window and started yelling at the Autobots. Sam gave Ratchet a final yell to turn off his headlight when Ron and Judy came to the bedroom door.

Their words muffled by the door. "Sam, are you in there? Is everything ok? Why is this door locked?" Judy asked through the door. I tensed at the doorknobs raddle but relaxed when it stopped.

I looked at Sam "Sam we can't let them out there for long, you know the house rules." I said moving to check the 'bots outside the window.

"Sam you better open this door. You know the rules. No locked doors in my house." Ron said from outside. I gave Sam an 'I told you so' face but I was promptly ignored, in favour of Sam grabbing Mikaela and trying to hide her. I took the opportunity to look out the window and tell the gang to hide.

As I was turning to look back at the door, Sam opened it, and started to talk to his parents. My eyes were wide, I was frozen in place. Praying to the gods that if I didn't move a muscle, that they wouldn't see me. 'Dammit Sam!, what the fuck! Warn a girl' I screamed at him in my mind as I stared in terror at Ron and Judy, who were talking to Sam about his happy time. Gross, but now's not the time to explain that situation to you guys.

That's when Mikaela came out from hiding. She stood in front of me, blocking me from view. I gave a silent sight, but didn't move as to not gain any attention. Judy's eyes went straight to her, widening and giving Mikaela an amazed smile.

"Wow your gorgeous" She cooed to Mikaela who stood there with a nervous smile on her face.

Ron game Mikaela a once over before moving passed the group towards the window, where I stood frozen. By some miracle he didn't seem to notice me, moving passed me and looking out the window, saying something about a blown transformer to Judy. As he turned to go back to the door he looked right at me.

I just stood there, absolute terror surging through my being as he looked me up and down. "Ren, why are you so dirty, aren't girls supposed to be cleaner than boys?" he asked with a frown.

My mouth drooped open in shock 'He's not freaking out. What the fuck? How is he not freaking the hell out right now!?' I yelled internally.

"Yeah Ren, I thought we raised you better than this." Judy said, with a frown that mirrored her husbands. So there I was; standing in my humanoid form, in front of Ron and Judy, in complete vapour lock, looking between Ron, Judy and Sam; trying to make sense of the conversation.

It took a minute but I finally got some words out. "You knew?" I asked breathlessly, still in denial.

A confused look came to their faces. "Of course we knew, were not stupid." Ron said, folding his hands over his chest.

"Then why didn't you say anything?" I asked him, my eyes still as wide as freaking car tires.

"We wanted you to tell us yourself sweetie." Judy said coming up to me. "We thought that if we told you that we knew that you would leave. And we've come to love you like one of our own, we didn't want you to leave us" she said softly.

Going against my nature of indifference, my eyes filled with tears. My lip trembling, I gave them a watery smile before enveloping them into a hug. They were a bit shocked by my action but returned the gesture none the less. "I love you guy two' I said into Judy shoulder.

"Oh sweetie, don't cry" Judy soothed. We stayed like that for another minute, before pulling apart.

I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand, trying not to fall apart in tears. Taking a deep breath, I gave a nod to assure myself that this actually just happened.

"Okay, I'm okay. Now back to business." I said, turning to Judy. "Do you know where Sam's backpack is?" I asked, getting my head back on track with the whole aliens trying to kill us all situation.

"Yeah it's downstairs in the kitchen" She said looking too Mikaela and fawning over her gorgeousness again. Sam nodded grabbed Mikaela's hand and headed out the door to go downstairs, leaving me with Ron and Judy alone in the room.

I gave in and squealed, jumping up and almost talking Ron in a tight hug. Ron hugged me back, patting my back with his hand. We pulled apart again and I gave them a broad smile and headed out the door to join Sam and Mikaela.

I turned around to see them again. "Oh and don't go into the yard, Ok?" I said and left before they could say anything else.

Sam had the glasses in his hand already, when I came into view. "Got 'em" he said showing them to me.

I nodded and turned to go to the back yard but the sound of the doorbell rigging stopped me in my tracks.

So heres chapter 5, any thought's?

Sorry i didn't update sooner. Its just that life happened and I had to deal with it.

Anywho, i'm going to star working on another story, so that i can have it ready by the time I finish this one. It'll be a another one with Ren, but it'll be with a different autobot, in a diferent way. I'm leanings towards Ironhide next, but if you have any suggestions please tell me :)

And the image of Ren's demon form is on the cover of the story for those of you who were having trouble with the link on my profile. (I was pretty upset about it not working, but who cares)
