Age of extinction - Transformers rewrite

Chapter 8

We found Optimus, Drift, Ratchet and Hound the next day at a crash site, where their part of the alien ship had landed.
As soon as we stopped, I jumped out of Crosshairs altmode, running to Drift.
“Oh god, are you alright?”
He blinked, looking down at me before smiling.
"Don't worry, I survived harder crashes.”
He kneeled down, allowing me to seat myself onto his servo before standing.
“Tessa, please stop it.”
Cade complained, also getting out of the car, followed by a german speaking Tessa.
“Sapphire, what have you done?”
I laughed.
“I only taught her some words that perfectly describe our situation, and that can also be used in other situations that don't include giant aliens as friends.”
“Considering no one knows what is going on, I think every man on this team missed something virtual.”
“Actually dad, you were there. You just didn't pay any attention to us.”
I pointed at her, nodding.
“Where she is right, she is right.”
Shane just shook his head.
“I do not understand girls.”
“That's actually a relief.”
I told him, Tessa nodded this time around.
“No comment.”
Came from Bee and Crosshair.
The next day, Cade and Bee, together with Tessa and Shane, returned from buying some things, making Crosshair sit up.
I raised my eyebrow at that from my place on Ratchet's shoulder, wondering what he wanted to say now.
“Let's give Bumblebee the good news.”
My eyebrow continued climbing.
There was good news for the situation we were in?
“We got a ship now. We're leaving.”
I stared at the green bot for a minute, before sliding down Ratchet's arm and walking over to Cade and the others, crossing my arms and ignoring the other bots beside Optimus.
“Before you say anything.”
I told him.
“I warned you. I literally told you that it was Megatron. The scientists used Megatron's programming to create Galvatron. If you were about to tell that, newsflash, we already know.”
He began talking, the other bots behind him, but I didn't let him talk further than ´you humans.'
“Ok, excuse me? Are you actually listening to me? And Drift, do me a favor and put the swords back again. Optimus, I think what you are about to say, is currently directed at the wrong humans. We four have done literally nothing to you, we even tried to help you to the best of our abilities. Sorry by the way if our abilities are not of much use against your kind, but we try. So if you are angry, and that actually goes to all of you, complain to the humans that are actually responsible and not the ones that try to help. Because honestly, without us, most of you would have died by now. So I kind of take it personally that everyone directs everything other humans do at us, even if we have no influence at them whatover.”
I turned around, climbing the mountain of whatever Cade and I were standing on down, before walking to Tessa, signing to her to follow me.
We left the others to argue, walking further and further away, till there was only us and some no longer used machines.
“Damit.”
I cursed, punching at the next best thing beside me, over and over again, till my chuckles were  slightly bleeding and I could no longer hold back my tears.
I slid down, hiding my face behind my hair, feeling Tessa sit down beside me, drawing circles on my back.
“It's ok, let it out.”
She whispered, hugging me.
“Why can't they understand?”
I asked, hiccuping a bit between the words.
“I just wonder if it was actually Optimus trying to somewhat blame us that pulled this reaction from you.”
I tilt my head, looking at her questioning.
“Well, you are closer to the other bots than Optimus, so I wonder if it is really Optimus' reaction that made you feel somewhat betrayed, or the reaction of the other bots, seeing as they sided with Optimus in a second without a thought.”
I took a deep breath, beginning to think over when it really had been that I became so angry.
Had it really been just from Optimus?
I shook my head, no, I had been angry even before that.
“I was sad when Crosshair announced that they were leaving, as if they didn't think of my feelings. Especially as they only said so once Bee arrived.”
I began, thinking, where Tessa nodded, encouraging me to continue.
“I was annoyed when Optimus had begun speaking, but not angry.”
Tessa hummed.
“Then, what made you angry enough to try and punch a hole into metal?”
My eyes widened.
“I became angry when I saw that Drift took out his swords. I didn't even care that Hound had a gun out.”
Tessa smirked.
I looked at her.
“What are you planning?”
I asked carefully.
She took out a pencil and a piece of paper from seemingly nowhere, beginning to write.
“Tessa, what are you doing?”
“Writing a list.”
I looked over her shoulder, whipping the rest of my tears away.
“What list? Also, I think we should head back. Hopefully the situation is somewhat defused.”
She groaned.
“Fine, I'll write my list on the way.”
I laughed, sitting up, before pulling her into a standing position.
“Also, I will make Ratchet take a look at your chuckles.”
I sat on to say something.
“If Drift doesn't do so first.”
I glared at her.
We returned, just as Optimus finished saying something.
“... turned your organic life into our elemental metals. Our creators destroyed your world, to make us.”
I blinked.
“We definitely missed some crucial information."
Tessa spoke up, making everyone turn to us.
I just smiled, shaking my head, before being lifted up from behind and sat onto Ratchet's servo.
The medic just sigh, giving me a once over before glaring at me.
"Yes?"
"What did you do to your chuckles?"
He asked, clearly done with me.
"I punched something?"
"She punched one of these cranes."
Tessa pointed to one.
"More than once by the way. I couldn't stop her. Believe me. Never try to stop a woman who is frustrated, even if you are one yourself."
Ratchet pinched his nose with his other servo.
"You punched a crane?"
I nodded.
"That is made out of metal."
I nodded again.
"And that probably rosts already."
I nodded a third time.
"Drift, hold her for a moment please."
Ratchet handed me over, before clamping both his servos before his face, frustrated and not knowing what to think.
"It could be worse."
Tessa said.
"With how hard she punched and how many emotions she actually felt, I'm surprised she didn't break anything."
"That does not help!"
All the bots told her, glaring at me, besides a small one with, blue hair?
"Ok, so, how far are we with our knowledge of what Megatron plans?"
I asked, once Ratchet was done.
"Megatron plans to steal the seed the soldiers have and detonate it in the biggest city."
The small robot said.
"The blastwave will incinerate that city into molten metal, he'll have enough to build a massive army. And annuliate your species forever."
Optimus finished.
"So, everyone in the city dies, a robot army is created, everyone in the world dies, end of story."
I summarized, making Tessa crock an eyebrow at me.
"That was very depressive."
I shrugged.
"Can't really be worse than Chicago."
"And I currently fear for your mental health."
Drift told me, making me raise an eyebrow, cross my arms and turn around, ignoring him.
"Sapphire, you can't ignore Drift forever. You do know that. You two probably have the most trust between an autobot and a human here."
Crosshair said, making me look down and take out my earpads.
"Are you … Is she ignoring us?"
Hound asked, poking me, which in turn, I ignored.
"Yes, in case it wasn't obvious, you kind of hurt her feelings, so, your fault."
Tessa told them, rolling her eyes at their stupidness.
"Also, why didn't any of us appreciate her hacking a literal alien spaceship without getting caught?"
"She did?"
Optimus asked, surprised.
"You are excused, you weren't there for that talk."
Tessa told him.
"And, as she doesn't know you as well as the others, you are pretty much the only one who won't be ignored for now."
