Stung by a Bee ( A Transformers Prime FanFiction )

Darkness Rising: Part 1

The mustang rolled down the hill, launched into the air and transformed into a black and yellow robot. He landed on one of the 'cons and punched the other in the face sending them to the ground. Behind the robot the female robot got up and growled under her breath while holding her head. The black and yellow robot took a step back and stepped on my black remote control car along with Raf's yellow one. Looking down he realized what he had done. 

::"Oops! Sorry":: I heard the robot say. 

"No problem! Really!" I reassured the black and yellow titan.

That was when one of the cons shot a blast at the black and yellow robot and sent him to the ground. The robot was about to get up but one of the 'cons slammed him back to the ground with their foot. Blasters pointing at the poor bot, I made a rash choice and defended him. 

"Leave him alone!!!" I yelled causing the two 'cons attention to be brought to myself, Raf, and Jack. 

One of the 'cons raised their blaster and walked towards us.

"Bad call" Jack said, stepping backwards and lowering his body into a guarded stance. 

Jack ushered us into a pipe to where the robot couldn't get to us. 

The can however was pulled back from the pipe and was beaten by the mustang/robot. He then looked down into the pipe and reassured us that it was okay now. 

"Thank you!" Raf and I said in unison.

::"No problem! You're welcome!":: the bot said and then walked away. 

We didn't stay to see what happened after that. 

The next day after school, Raf and I walked out of the school and past an exchange student who was drawing. It was then that I saw the motorcycle from yesterday. I paid it no mind and could've sworn I saw the mirror following my movement. We walked over to a tree and I turned around to see Jack walking up to us. 

Jack stopped by the tree. "Raf...Lora, hey" Jack said. 

Jack scratched the back of his head. "Look, let's just keep this between the three of us and forget anything ever happened okay?"

We heard the horn of the yellow mustang as it pulled up to us on the sidewalk. 

Rafael gasped. "Jack! Lora!" he said and grabbed Jack's wrist. 

"Oh not again!" Jack cried.

::"Come on in Rafael and Lora!":: the car said, raising the door. 

However I don't think that Jack had understood him. "I-it wants us to get in."

"No just Raf and I." I stated.

Jack looked at me questioningly. "H-how do you know that?!?!?"

"It said so" Raf simply said. 

"What!?!" Jack exclaimed.

"Yours is over there!" I said pointing behind us. 

"Look, I really don't think that-" Jack was starting to say.

However, Raf and I weren't listening.

"How's it going?" Raf asked.

I climbed In the car and got in the driver's seat while Raf hopped in the passenger's side. 

"Lora...Raf! Wait! Wait! Stop!!" Jack protested.

The mustang didn't stop as we pulled away from the curb. 

Apparently, the mustang's name was Bumblebee and the motorcycle was called Arcee. Although he didn't give us anymore info because we were supposed to get that information from their leader, someone called Optimus Prime. On the way though, when Jack was getting picked up by Arcee, they had picked up another person. It turns out that it was the exchange student who we passed on the school steps, Miko, was now along for the ride. 

We pulled out of town and looked to be headed for a mountain when all of a sudden the mountain opened us and we pulled inside a tunnel which came out into a military silo.

"Cool!", Raf and I said in awe. 

There, at giant computer stood another robot. This one was orange and white. Then came another in the color of an olive green. We came to a stop and hopped out of Bumblebee. Arcee and Bumblebee transformed and walked off somewhere. 

"I thought there were three." stated the orange and white bot. 

Arcee put a hand on her hip. "Haven't you heard?" she asked. "Humans multiply."

"I'm Lora and this is my brother, Raf" I said, pointing to myself and Raf. 

"I'm Jack" Jack introduced himself.

Miko ran towards the olive green bot. "Hi! I'm MIko!" she said. 

"Who are you?" she asked. 

Surprised, the green bot answered. "Bulkhead."

Miko gasped. "Are you a car? Are you a truck? I bet you're a monster truck!!"

She continued to rant on as I looked around. Their set up was pretty cool. I myself was wondering what the short tunnel lined with technology was though. 

"So if you guys are robots, who made you?" Raf asked curiously. 

"Raf I don't think that they were made." I stated. 

"Pphht. Puuuleease" the orange and white robot said. 

That's when I heard the crashing footsteps that were going to change my life forever. I turned around to see a six story robot in red and blue colors. 

"We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron. Also known as, Autobots." he said. 

Jack stepped forwards. "Why are you here?" Jack asked. 

"To protect your planet from the Decepticons." he said. 

Arcee cut in. "The jokers who tried to bump us off last night."

"Ok, why are they here?" I asked. 

I'd kinda figured out by now that he was their leader, Optimus Prime. He kneeled down to my level. "A fair question, Loretta."

"In part, they are here because our planet is uninhabitable, ravaged by centuries of civil war." Optimus stated.

"W-why were you fighting a war?" Raf asked. 

"Foremost, over our world's supply of energon, the fuel and lifeblood of all Autobots and Deceptions alike."

"The combat was fierce, and endured for centuries. In the beginning, I fought alongside one whom I'd considered a brother. But in war, ideals can be corrupted. And it was thus, that Megatron lost his way."

Miko sighed. "Is there gonna be a quiz?" she asked sarcastically.

"So what does Megatron, or any of this, have to do with us?" I asked. 

"Megatron has not been seen or heard from in some time. But if his return is imminent, as I fear, it could be catastrophic." Optimus stated.

Meanwhile on the Nemesis... 

Soundwave walked towards Starscream with the transmission playing on his visor. 

"Those transmissions are emanating from deep space." Starscream said. "I would hate to waste the energon. Unless, you are absolutely certain?"

Soundwave nodded silently. 

Starcream sighed. "Then lock on transmission coordinates, and activate the space bridge."

The vehicle by the control board complied and activated the space bridge. 

Just outside earth's orbit....

The space bridge opened and a single jet flew threw the vortex. Transforming, a silver and purple cybertronian could be seen. It was Megatron. 

"DECEPTICONS!" he thundered. "I have returned."
