Good and Bad News
Earth. Birth place of the human race. A species much like our own. Capable of great compassion....and great violence. For in our quest to protect the humans, a deeper revelation dawns. Our worlds have met before.
For the last two years, an advance team of new Autobots has taken refuge here under my command. Together, we form an alliance with the humans. A secret but brave squad of soldiers. A classified strike team called NEST. We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes, hiding in different countries around the globe.
---------------------------------------------------
It's been a few months since the Mission City Attack. William and Epps have been pressing me about telling the Autobots about what I know. I kept saying 'no, I'm not ready' because I wasn't ready to tell the bots that I've seen years into the future, I've seen their family members die off one by one.
Last night though Will came up to me saying he had good news and bad news for me.
The good news....uh, I'm not on babysitting duty? Bad news....Optimus wants me to talk to the Autobots. Like today, like right now.
I tried to run to my room but before I could even get to the base of the stairs, Ironhide's holoform caught me.
"No! Please!"
Ironhide's holoform had to literally drag me out of the house and into his alt-mode before dissolving. He started speeding down the driveway and onto the highway too so that I wouldn't jump out. His words, not mine. As if I'd survive it anyway.
"'Hide, please, take me back....I'd rather live for another day, or...not get laughed at by the entire base." I begged. Yes, yours truly, begged but only because I am desperate to have the 'talk' gone. Vanish!
"No can do kiddo. Optimus wants to know how you know what you know." There were a lot of 'ow's' in that sentence. I slumped against the seat. "I would also like to know." I saw something flicker next to me. I looked to see his holoform coming to life next to me. "Not just any human would know where to be at an exact time. No normal human could've saved Jazz."
I looked away from him and to the side mirror. I saw Bee following us with Sam, and Mikaela. Optimus wanted everyone to know what I've been hiding. William was already at base, left this morning saying that he and Epps were going to set everything up. For once, I didn't know what they were talking about.
"Who said I wasn't normal? I'm normal, Ironhide. I just know more than anyone else."
---------------------------------------------------
We pulled up to the hangar and only saw two guards, nobody else, it was like we just entered a ghost town.
Ironhide pulled into the hangar and there I saw Optimus, William and Robert Epps. That's it. I'm getting scared. Bee parked next to Ironhide.
I got out and let Ironhide transform before I watched him walk away, open a door off to the side on the room and walked in. I looked up to Optimus then shot a look to Will.
He smiled before backing up with Epps until they got to the side door which Ironhide went through before entering and disappearing from view. Sam and Mikaela laughed before following Bee, who was already walking to the door.
"Ellie." I jumped at the sudden voice and looked up to Optimus. He kneeled down so I could see him easier.
"Y-yes?" Why am I stuttering?
"How would you feel about talking to everyone about how you knew to save Jazz, and how Bumblebee would loose his legs..." Optimus trailed off.
"Do I have a choice?" I asked.
"I'm afraid not."
I nodded and watched him get back up before lowering his hand/servo for me to get onto. I stepped forward and got on before he raised it. He walked toward the door, the closer he got the more nerves swarmed.
Finally, he walked in and what I saw shocked me. Everybody was there, Autobots and people alike. How they all got here, I'll never know. The Witwicky family, Mikaela, all of the soldiers but the ones that found out first were in the front. I'm hoping they'll stand up for me when Ironhide threatens my death by cannon.
The Autobots were lined up by the far wall behind the people. By now, everyone was looking at us, well me, mostly. I took a deep breathe before tapping Optimus's hand. He lowered me to the floor before walking back to the other bots. I put my head up and walked towards the front of the room. It was a tight space with chairs plus the Autobots so I knew everyone would be able to hear me.
I made it to the front where a slightly levered platform sat. I stepped on top and faced everyone. I cleared my throat before starting with my speech.
"For you who don't know, I'm Ellie Jackson. I've known of the Cybertronians for....years." I was cut off by a guy in the back.
"How is that possible?!"
"Hey! No questions until the end!" Will stood up and yelled at, not just the guy, but at everyone.
"Thanks Will. As I was saying, I've been watching, okay that sounds creepy, uh. In my dimension, at least that's what Will and I guess it was, there were movies, comics, posters, all sorts of things about the 'Transformers.'" I waved my hand in the direction of the Autobots. "I've watched the movies since 2007, in my world, it was 2015 when I left. There were four movies out, Transformers, being the first one. It was mainly about Sam Witwicky getting his first car, which happened to be Bumblebee. Then the other four, Jazz, Ratchet, Ironhide and Optimus Prime. They are known as the original five."
I took a deep breathe before continuing.
"In the first movie it starts with Optimus telling us about the cube, the AllSpark. Before continuing on and going to the base where Blackout attacked the soldiers, after that we were in Sam's classroom where he was giving his report about his grandfather, Archibald Witwicky. Scorponok was then showed attacking the main soldiers that survived Blackout's attack, the movie continued with goverment talk and Maggie and Glen showing up. Frenzy was showed attacking the president's plane trying to get data and information on the AllSpark. That's where he found Sam on eBay."
"Your damn eBay!" Mikaela yelled.
I laughed. Before continuing.
"Then we went through the motions of Sam following Bee into the junk yard, which in my opinion was stupid to record your 'sighting' and last moments of life." I raised an eyebrow at Sam, who sunk in his seat. "The police station, Satan's Camaro, Barricade and Frenzy's attack, Bumblebee possibly being Japanese." I smiled at Bee when I heard a whir come from him.
"Bee being a crappy car, him taking you to see the meteors, then meeting the Autobots, Ratchet embarrassing you." I winked at Sam and Mikaela, who blushed and ducked their heads.
I smiled before continuing. "I think there was more government stuff somewhere but forgot where at." I mumbled to myself, I shook my head. "Then it showed the searching for the glasses, the bots finding terrible hiding places in Sam's yard." I was cut off by Sam laughing out loud with Mikaela smiling widely.
"Where did they hide?" Sam laughed.
"Jazz and Bumbebee went on the porch, Ratchet and Ironhide hid behind your house by your window, and Optimus," I started laughing. "did this against the house." I walking over the wall behind me and did the Optimus hiding pose he did when hiding from Sam's parents. Sam was laughing into his hands while Ron looked confused.
"How did I not see him?"
"You were too worried about your yard to notice the huge red and blue robot trying to get away from you." I laughed some more before walking back onto the raised floor. I noticed other people snickering as well before I continued.
"Then Sector-7 showed up and took you all away then that's when I came in after they were starting to freeze Bee." I finished. "Any questions?"
Lots of hands went up while the Autobots stepped forward.
"How did you end up in this dimension?"
"How do we know your not lying?"
"How did you know you had to save Jazz?"
"How did I embarrass the children?"
Everyone froze after Ratchet's innocent question. I burst out laughing.
"You smelled the air then claimed that Sam wanted to mate with Mikaela! Mating isn't just something that you do around here Ratchet. You got to know people first." I answered. He seemed to think about it then his optics went dim before he shook his head.
"I'm terribly sorry." He apologized. My mouth dropped open.
"It's fine Ratchet, I'm promise." Sam accepted the apology.
"Awwww!" I awed. Loudly. Everyone turned to me. "That was so cute!" I put my hands up and cupped my cheeks. I cleared my throat before throwing my hands down. "Sorry, fan-girl moment.." Everyone blinked at me.
"To answer your other questions, I ended up in this dimension by the original Primes. They called me in a dream and told me they were going to cause something that would put me on the path if my destiny. My parents were in a car accident and died instantly." Everything was silent so I continued. I didn't want their sympathy anyway. "You know I'm not lying because I'll tell you this. You'll get a new 'boss', sadly. Theodore Galloway, join the club and hate him. I knew to save Jazz because Jazz was originally supposed to die in the first movie."
"How?" Jazz asked ringing his claw like hands.
"He was going to rip you in half."
"Ah, man, that sounds like it sucked...."
I smiled sadly at him.
It probably did.
A/N: There goes the first chapter of the second book! Hope you enjoyed it!
