Chapter Five
I wake up with a groan to find myself on an airplane. Lennox was instantly by my side, along with Epps.
"Watson, you okay?" Lennox asks.
"Well, I hurt all over but other than that, yeah, I'm okay", I say softly.
"Great. We're currently on a plane to Hoover Dam. Some group has something they need to talk to us about", Lennox says.
I was instantly wide awake and sitting up. "What's the group called?"
"I don't know, like... sector seven or something?" Epps answered. I groan, and flop back over.
"Knock me out when we get there please."
"I take it you've had experience with them?" Epps asks.
"Once. I was 18 years old then. Luckily the person I met then is most likely no longer in charge. I just hope that the person in charge is less annoying", I say as I sit back up.
I felt the plane begin to tip downward. "Looks like we're landing, boys."
Lennox and Epps take a seat on either side of me, and hold onto something as we make our descent. Before long, we were on the ground and exiting the plane, me in pain the entire time.
Soon, we were introduced to several people from sector seven, such as Tom Banachek and Seymour Simmons. I frown as I listen to Simmons.
"You know, I was hoping I would never run into this group again. Just my luck the next person in charge after Burns is just as annoying, if not more", I say loudly, catching Simmons attention.
"Who are you?" he asks rudely.
"The name's Watson. Emily Watson", I say dramatically.
"Oh. The kid who refused to give up her car", Simmons says.
"Yeah. The kid that protected her best friend", I growled.
"Your best friend was a car?" Epps whispers to me.
"You'll understand more later, promise", I whisper back.
Epps doesn't say anything more but gives me a strange look. I frown as we follow Simmons into the dam. Soon, we came into a room that held the one cybertronian I hoped to never see.
Megatron.
Jazz had told me a bit about him. Not much, but he did tell me enough for me to be able to recognize him.
I ignored Simmons as I backed as far away from Megatron as I could. He was dangerous and I didn't want to be any closer.
After a few minutes, the group began to move again, and I followed. We came into a room with a giant cube, which I learned was the Allspark which is why the Decepticons were now here.
I was slowly freaking out. The Decepticons were here, the Allspark was here, and I found out that there was kid here, Sam Witwicky, that was friends with one of the Autobots. I wondered which one.
We went into a smaller room with a glass box in the center. Simmons asked for a phone which some civilian randomly gave his.
It was turned into a small cybertronian, which almost immediately started to attack the box. It was honestly a bit terrifying.
I frown as Simmons kills it off before I have the chance to do something. As soon as we got out of the room, Sam instantly began to ask for his car. Simmons was about to refuse but I grabbed Simmons, pressed him against a random old car, and pressed my handgun against his chest, ready to fire. S-7 agents immediately aimed their guns, and my team also aimed their guns at the S-7 agents.
"Take. The. Kid. To. His. Car." I was talking slowly, deliberately, to show that I wasn't afraid to shoot him then and there.
Simmons tried to threaten me. "I'm going to count to 5."
"What am I? A kid? I may have been 20 years ago when Burns tried to threaten me, but I'm not now. I'm a fully grown woman, with a hatred for men who treat me like I'm not. So you better take the kid to his car or so help me... I am not afraid to shoot you right now, Simmons", I growl.
I knew I had surprised my team, and the S-7 agents, as well as the civilians in the room.
"I'd listen to her, Simmons", someone says. "Seems like losing isn't an option for her. And knowing her team, it's not an option for them either."
Simmons sighed. "Fine. You want to lay the weight of the world on the kid's Camaro. That's cool."
Simmons tools us to yet another room where I see a very familiar Autobot. I stop I'm my tracks at the sight of Bumblebee.
"STOP FREEZING HIM", I shriek loudly, surprising everyone in the room, including the Autobot.
Bee sits up and his battle mask flips down, covering his face. Sam tries to comfort him, but I knew a better trick to calm Bee down.
"Hey, Bee. Remember all the fun you and Charlie had? If you calm down, maybe we could go visit her at some point", I say softly.
Bee looks at me, and his mask flips backward, revealing his face.
"Emily?" Bee's radio plays.
"Hey, Bumblebee", I say softly as I walk up to him.
Bee lets out a happy whir, which made me smile.
"Come on. We can go visit her once we save the world. Okay? Megatron is here and so is the Allspark", I say gently.
Bee instantly follows us to the Allspark and it shrinks down at Bee's touch. I gape in awe before closing my mouth. However one thought still lingered in my mind.
If Bee is still here...
is Jazz...?
I shake my head before looking to Simmons and Banachek. "Got a weapons room?"
Simmons and Banachek immediately lead us to a room, where we soon find out that the the freezing chamber that held Megatron wasn't working.
I instantly move faster, grabbing weapons while ordering people around.
"Simmons, Banachek, and whoever you guys are. Find a way to contact the air force. We're going to need it. My team, we'll go with Bee, Sam and the girl to Mission City. It's 22 miles away but we can hide the cube in the city", I say loudly.
Everyone nods, and we grab some jeeps and Bee transforms. We quickly leave the dam, heading towards Mission City.
We soon passed by a convoy of four cars, who immediately turned around to follow us. I saw out of the corner of my eye, a silver car. I whip my head around to look at it, and instantly know it's Jazz, even if his form is different. I feel tears coming to my eyes.
Epps turns to look at me and sees the tears in my eyes.
"Watson, are you okay?"
I sniff and wipe the tears away.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just... memories surfacing when I don't want them to", I mutter.
Epps nods, before focusing back on the task at hand,
Soon, we come across a Decepticon, which one of the Autobots transformed to take on. I ignore the fight and just focus on getting to Mission City.
I know Jazz hasn't seen me yet, because I know he would have said something if he had.
We make it to Mission City and come to a stop in the middle of the road, looking at an F-22 flying above us. Soon, it came down below buildings and I instantly knew that it was not part of the airforce but actually a Decepticon.
"It's Starscream!" One of the Autobots cries out, transforming. He and Bumblebee pick up a truck and use it to block Starscream's missiles.
And that is when the real battle began.
