6: Demon Lennox
Sam and Mikaela were on a helicopter flying to some not disclosed area, "So..." Sam started.
"What did they get you for?" An Australian woman named Maggie asked.
"Uh- I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Found out one of my friends is a Neko and a set of triplets I know are mages, and the sister is in the other helicopter in life-threatening danger." Sam explained.
Glen mouthed 'Wow,' while Maggie took in the life threating part.
"Who knew?" Sam asked.

"Please. Let this work." Optimus mumbled as he held up the glasses Anti had.
"Fire it up, Optimus." Jazz said still holding the now emotionless boys in his servo.
"The code... The code on these glasses indicates the All Spark is two hundred and thirty miles from here." Optimus told the others as he scanned the glasses.
"I sense the Decepticons are getting ready to mobilize." Ratchet explained.
"They must know it's here, as well," Ironhide spoke up.
"What about Bumblebee? What about Rouge? We can't just leave them to die and become some human experiment!" Jazz yelled in anger.
"They'll die in vain if we don't accomplish our mission. Bumblebee and Rouge are brave soldiers. This is what they would want." Optimus crooked out.
"Why are we fighting to save the humans? They're a primitive and violent race." Ironhide asked in rage.
"Were we so different? They're a young species. They have much to learn. But I've seen the goodness in them. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. You all know there's only one way to end this war. We must destroy the Cube. If all else fails, I will unite it with the Spark in my chest." Optimus explained.
"That's suicide. The Cube is raw power. It could destroy you both." Water raised her voice, it breaks a bit though from the crying.
"A necessary sacrifice to bring peace to this planet. We cannot let the humans pay for our mistakes... It's been an honor serving with you all. Autobots, roll out!"
"We rolling!' Jazz yelled as they all transformed, though him and Ironhide carefully around the humans they were caring.

Once the helicopter landed with the man they know to be Simmons, "Hey, kid. I think we got off to a bad start, huh? You must be hungry, You want a latte? Ho-Ho? Double venti macchiato?" He asked.
"Where's my car and my friend?" Sam asked angrily for the last time he saw either of them they were dying.
"Son, I need you to listen to me very carefully. People can die here. We need to know everything you know. We need to know it now." Banachek told him.
"Okay. But first, I'll take my car, my parents. Maybe you should write that down. Oh, and her juvie record. That's got to be gone. Like, forever. Also for my friends to not be an experiment." Sam told him.
"Come with me. We'll talk about your car." Banachek waved his hand for Sam to follow.
"Thank you," Mikaela whispered to Sam getting a nod.
"Man's an extortionist." Simmons mumbled underneath his breath before speaking up, "All right, here's the situation. You've all had direct contact with the NBEs."
"NBEs?" A man named Epp's said.
"Non-Biological Extraterrestrials. Try and keep up with the acronyms." Simmons sassed.
Banachek turned to them, "What you're about to see is totally classified."
"Dear God. What is this?" Keller asked in fear.
"We think when he made his approach over the north pole, our gravitational field screwed up his telemetry. He crashed on the ice, probably a few thousand years ago. We shipped him here to this facility in 1934." Banachek explained.
"We call him NBE-One," Simmons added.
"Well, sir, I don't mean to correct you on everything you think you know, but- I mean, that's Megatron. He's the leader of the Decepticons." Sam told them.
"He's been in cryostasis since 1935. Your great-great-grandfather made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind." Banachek responded with a smile.
Simmons was getting ticked off, "Fact is, you're looking at the source of the modern age. The microchip, lasers, spaceflight, cars, all reverse-engineered by studying him. NBE-One. That's what we call it."
"And you didn't think the United States military might need to know that you're keeping a hostile alien robot frozen in the basement?" Keller asked.
Banachek just looked at Keller, "Until these events, we had no credible threat to national security."
"Well, you got one now."
"So why Earth?" Lennox asked.
"It's the Allspark," Sam told him.
"Allspark? What is that?" Epps asked.
"Well, yeah, they came here looking for some sort of cube-looking thing. Anyway, mister NBE-One here, a.k.a. Megatron, that's what they call him, who's pretty much the harbinger of death, wants to use the Cube to transform human technology to take over the universe. That's their plan." Sam explained.
Simmons looked at him not believing a word, "And you're sure about that?"
"Yeah... You guys know where it is, don't you?" Sam asked.
Banachek turns around and started walking saying a quick, "Follow me."
"You're about to see our crown jewel."
"Carbon dating puts the Cube here around ten thousand BC. The first Seven didn't find it until 1913. They knew it was alien because of the matching hieroglyphics on the Cube as well as NBE-One. President Hoover had the dam built around it. Four football fields thick with concrete. A perfect way to hide its energy from being detected by anyone or any alien species on the outside." Banachek said as he maintained a straight face.
"Wait, back up. You- you said the dam hides the Cube's energy. What kind exactly?" Maggie questioned with interest.
"Good question. Please step inside. They have to lock us in."
"Oh, wow," Epps muttered in utter shock before he turned to the wall seeing scratches, "What's that? Freddy Krueger done been up in here or something?"
Glen came over to see what Epps was talking about, "Oh, no, man. Freddy Krueger has four blades, man. That's only three. That's Wolverine! Hrr! [laughing] Right? That's Wolverine!"
Simmons unamused just looked at them as if he was better in every way than them, "That's very funny. Anybody have any mechanical devices? BlackBerry? Key alarm? Cell phone?"
Everyone checked their pockets, Glen perked up as he felt his phone in his pocket, "I got a phone."
Simmons grabbed the phone from him, "Ooh. Nokia's are really nasty. You've got to respect the Japanese. They know the way of the samurai."
"Nokia's from Finland," Maggie whispered to Keller in confusion at how Simmons got Samurai from Nokia.
"Yes, but he's, you know... a little strange. He's a little strange." Keller whispered back.
"We're able to take the Cube radiation... and funnel it into that box," Simmons told as he put the Nokia in the box before waving his hand basically telling everyone put their goggles on he then proceeded to flip a switch making a blue light appear and the Nokia transform into a little bot.
Glen, Sam, Mikaela and others let out short, surprised yelps of shock as they saw the Nokia bot hit the box, Simmons was having to much fun watching them all scared, "Mean little sucker, huh?"
"That thing is freaky!" Maggie squeaked out.
"Kind of like the itty-bitty Energizer Bunny from hell, huh?" Simmons asked like a psychopath.
The Nokia bot hit the box before looking at Mikaela scared, Simmons went to hit the kill switch before Mikaela tackled the switch out of his hands, "It's just a baby!" she shouted at him before running over to the box taking the little bot out.
"Fine keep the little demon," Simmons muttered thinking no one heard him but everyone did, everyone glared at him even Banachek glared at him.
"Go! Go! Go! Move!" They all heard as the lights flickered.
"Gentlemen, they know the Cube is here," Keller said in an official tone.
"Banachek. What's going on?" He asked through his radio.
"Well, the NBE-One hangar has lost power-" The technician on the other end started before being cut off by Banachek screaming through the radio in shock.
"What!"
"-and the backup generator is just not gonna cut it." The technician finished.
"Do you have an arms room?" Lennox asked stepping forward, Banachek nodded before leading them to an arms room.
"Get everyone to the NBE-One chamber now!" Banachek shouted as the lights went out.
"The lights are out!" one of the agents shouted.
"Move it! Move it! Let's go!" Epps yelled as they all ran.
They all ran into the arms room, Simmons pointed at the table, "Forty millimeter sabot rounds on that table!"
"That's good. Get all the ammo you got. Everything you can carry. Bring it." Lennox ordered.
Sam ran up to Simmons, "You got to take me to my car and Rouge. You have to take me to them. They're gonna know what to do with the Cube."
"Your car? It's confiscated, and your friend? Experiments." Simmons told him as if he didn't care which he didn't.
"Then unconfiscate them," Sam was almost crying knowing Rouge could be dead.
Maggie jumped into the conversation, "is Rouge the one that could be," She stopped her sentence as she saw Sam nod a yes.
Maggie automatically punched Simmons in the face, "Hey! That girl is a monster and we do not know what will happen if we let his car near the cube thing! I have people's lives at stake here, young man."
Lennox had to take a moment to process what he heard, he was a father so he went into overprotective demon dad mode, Epps knew to get out of Lennox's way. Lennox slammed Simmons onto a couple boxes gun pointed at Simmons' neck, "Take him to his car! And that girl better not be dead otherwise you will be!"
"Wha-" was all Simmons could let out before guns were pulled out, everyone either was at gunpoint or had a gun pointed at someone, it was usually both.
"Drop it." Lennox ordered sounding like a demon.
"Drop your weapon, soldier. There's an alien war going on and you're gonna shoot me?" Simmons asked.
"You know, we didn't ask to be here. And I'm pretty sure that girl didn't ask to be an experiment."
"I'm ordering you under S7 executive jurisdiction."
Epps perked up, "S7 doesn't exist," Anger laced every inch of his voice.
"Right. And we don't take orders from people that don't exist."
"I'm gonna count to five," Simmons threatened.
"Well, I'm gonna count to three. Mm?" Lennox was Breathing hard but not breaking a sweat.
"Simmons?" Keller whispered.
"Yes, sir?"
"I'd do what he says. Losing's really not an option for these guys." Keller told him as he looked at Lennox who looked more like a demon every second.
"All right. Okay. Hey, you want to lay the fate of the world on the kid's Camaro and witch of a friend? That's cool."
