Sparkmates Of Destiny

Chapter 12

"Were we so different? They're a young species. They have much to learn. But I've seen 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"

"That's suicide. The Cube is raw power. It could destroy you both" Ratchet informs.

"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 exclaims as they all set off for the Allspark's location.

After checking out the dam, the teens are lead towards a building where they find Simmons waiting for them. If looks could kill, Simmons would have ceased to exist from Lauren's cold gaze.

"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?" The Agent speaks directly to Sam.

"Where's my car?" The boy interrupts.

"Where's NightStar?" Lauren growls.

"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" Tom Banachek, a man of high rank in Sector Seven, speaks calmly.

"Okay. But first, I'll take my car, my sister's friend, our parents. Maybe you should write that down. Oh, and her juvie record. That's got to be gone. Like, forever" Sam requests.

"Come with me. We'll talk about your car"

"Thank you" Mikaela smiles.

"I'm so proud of you" Lauren grins teasingly.

"Man's an extortionist" Simmons notes as they leave.

Inside the building, they join up with Captain Lennox and his team. Lauren grins at the sight of them, considering they're pretty much the only cool humans in the entire movie franchise.

"All right, here's the situation. You've all had direct contact with the NBEs" Simmons informs the entire group.

"NBEs?" Robert Epps, one of Lennox's teammates, questions.

"Non-Biological Extraterrestrials. Try and keep up with the acronyms"

"What you're about to see is totally classified" Banachek adds as they walk through a dark and ominous tunnel.

On the other side, Megatron towers over the group, frozen in stasis. Lauren looks up at the mech in slight amusement.

'Flammus and I are so going to use this against him' she smirks.

"Dear God. What is this?" Keller, the Secretary of Defence, breathes in shock.

"We think when he made his approach over the north pole, our gravitational field screwed up his telemetry. He crashed in the ice, probably a few thousand years ago. We shipped him here to this facility in 1934"

"We call him NBE-One" Simmons informs.

"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 corrects their information.

"He's been in cryostasis since 1935. Your great-great-grandfather made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind" Banachek says honestly.

"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" Simmons rudely invades Sam's personal space.
