Chapter 17


(GREENWICH VILLAGE, MANHATTAN)

Leaving away from the chase of the two mad Decepticons, Dr. P, Mrs. Y, and Julius had reached the safest street where they could temporarily refuge. The Inhuman couple noticed they were three blocks away from their residence. Moving his head around, the Inhuman MIB scientist and Avenger remained vigilant as he was the first one to step out of the yellow sportscar. His wife and the blue Kree novelist followed him.

" Pyro-Daddy, are you sure we're gonna be safe? " the blonde Inhuman asked her husband with a concern.

" Yes, we can quickly rush home and bring Julius with us, " Dr. P answered.

" Finally! " Julius happily exclaimed and sighed in relief. " I am spared thanks to the three of you! "

Bumblebee began scanning around the place using his sensors inside the car headlights and said, " Guys, I don't think so. "

" What do you mean?! " Dr. P asked and raised his voice.

" Those two are coming! "

The blue Kree novelist nervously gulped and felt trembling. The Inhuman couple turned to him and looked at him with a concern. He was becoming fearful and sweating upon hearing the disguised Autobot's warning.

" Jules, are you okay? " Y asked.

" I AM NOT ALRIGHT, MADAM! " he loudly yelled. " Those mechanical brutes are coming! I swear they are gonna kill the humans in your planet! "

" What are you talking about?! "

" They're here! "

The Kree and the Inhuman MIB spouses noticed the two classic muscular cars arriving down the streets. They instantly transformed into an extremely tall metallic extraterrestrial beings and intently glared at the yellow Autobot. Dropkick and Shatter prepared themselves to attack when a few people panicked and immediately fled away.

" What do we have here?! " Dropkick evilly laughed and took out his blade on his back, preparing to slaughter another Cybertronian. " We have an Autobot Scum! Can we kill him, Shatter? "

The scarlet female Decepticon sternly replied, " Not yet, Dropkick. We have to ask him where's the location of the Control Stone and it's bearer. "

" Oh, bummer! I'm so eager to sent him into the scrapyard! "

" I said, not yet."

" Guys, you'd better run now, " Bumblebee lowly echoed at the three.  " This is my job to deal with these two. Now, go! "

Dr. P and his wife heard the talking sportscar, shared glances, and nodded as they immediately grabbed Julius's arms and ran away into safety. Bumblebee gradually morphed by releasing his Cybertronian parts and removing the automobile parts and sections. The Autobot's chest cavity and abdomen, including his limbs were yellow with some metallic silver and dark trimmings in his connective joints. His car tires were positioned at his back like a backpack. Bumblebee bumped his cybertronian fists and clenched it, evilly grinned, and taunted, " Well, well, well, who do we have here?! A Decepticon couple likes to crash someone else's property! This ain't your turf! Got it?! "

" We are here for the Control Stone. Now tell me, where is it? " Shatter demanded and hissed.

" Control Stone, really?! " the yellow Autobot repeated and chuckled. " I don't even know what you are talking about?! "

" Don't play dumb, Autobot! Lord Megatron has been looking for it in eons! Tell us, where is it?! "

Bumblebee gave them an oblivious look and shrugged, " I don't know! "

Shatter angrily clenched her fists and morphed into two cannons, preparing to blast the Autobot into the smithereens. She released a bright yellow orange explosive energy and aimed at her opponent. Bumblebee quickly dodged her attacks as he was levitating and laughing. The female red Decepticon kept firing at him, but she was having a difficulty in taking him down. The Autobot's incredible speed had hindered her to blast him away. Dropkick noticed his partner's difficulty and attempted to slash the yellow menace down, but he was almost close in bringing Bumblebee into his demise. The blue Decepticon was grinning and preparing himself to end the Autobot's story.

Still holding Dropkick's blade, Bumblebee smirked and slowly crushed down the weapon. Dropkick widened his eyes in shock and disbelief, seeing his weapon slowly dismantling and dividing into half.

" You think you can kill me? " Bumblebee taunted.

" You despicable! " the blue Decepticon growled to his frustration and dismay.

" Dropkick, that's enough! " Shatter called her partner's attention. " He's just a nuisance! We're not after that Autobot! We will have our time to find that stone. "

The two Decepticons instantly reverted into their automobile form and left the street. Bumblebee chuckled and watched them from a distance, " What cowards are they! Well, I'd better keep going. "

He descended from the ground and transformed into a yellow sports car, driving and speeding away from his position. Then, the lamp posts began flickering a white light and echoed an eerie noise when the street crowd and bystanders blankly looked at them and remained speechless. They had no memory of the Cybertronian street attack and returned to their normal lives and routine like nothing happened.

Just inside the house and peering from the windows, Dr. P watched the neighbors and sighed in relief after neuralyizing them. He held a keychain like remote conrtol in activating the street lamp neuralyzer. His Remnite Inhuman wife smiled at him and crossed her arms.

" Good job there, Genius! " she commented and kissed her husband's cheeks as he blushed harder.

" Sunshine, please! Not in front of our kids and the guests! " Dr. P chuckled and felt embarassed.

" Well, I can't help it with a Yang! "

Julius looked at the couple, grinned, and  confidently quoted some lines from his greatest Terran ancestor, "The sight of lovers feedeth those in love! Mistress, you know yourself, down on your knees, And thank heaven, fasting, for a good man’s love! "

Agent Y heard the blue Kree novelist and laughed as she understood what he meant. Dr. P facepalmed and sighed, feeling more embarrassed than ever, " You still have more time to mention those, haven't you?! "

" A Shakespearean Kree myself must know them by heart, my good Inhuman scientist friend! " Julius proudly replied and winked. " I would never miss those when I see loving spouses like you! "

" Right! "

Suddenly, the Williams siblings saw their parents and the blue skinned visitor on the living room as they rushed and instantly hugged them. Dr. P and Mrs. Y were both pleased to see them and hugging them back.

" Mom, Dad! " Flip happily beamed and greeted them.

" Glad to see you guys safe! " Y replied.

" Dad, Mom, Mr. Zeta was a cool babysitter! " Zed added. " He likes to hear our music too! "

" Yeah, he's good in board games, too! " Alice commented and turned to her older blonde twin sister. " Isn't that right, Summer? "

" Yeah, he's really interesting to talk to, " Summer replied to her younger twin.

" We're glad he has done his duty, " Dr. P answered and turned to the humanoid MIB Agent. " Zeta, come here! I would like you to..."

Zeta ignored his superior's call and remained silent, crossing his arms. He felt uncomfortable in seeing the blue Kree man in front of him. Julius Shakespeare or Jul-Shek crossed his eyebrows and furiously glared at the Cybertronian humanoid dressed in black, especially his fiery red irises in his eyes. He understood that his kind had decimated his ancestors in Hala. The Williams family noticed the heated confrontation and remained non speaking.

" Do I know you from somewhere? " Zeta asked and slightly smiled, hiding his fear and nervousness.

" Of course, " Julius changed his tone into a serious one and indignantly pointed his index finger. " I can sense who you really are. "

" Really?! "

" Your eye colours can tell you. You may try to hide or disguise, but I know what kind of race you are. Are you even afraid to face the music?! Tell me, did you ask your evil Cybertronian friends to destroy lives in my home planet, before? Why don't you even answer me?! "
