His saving Grace

Chapter 7

Welcome to chapter 7 everyone! Hope you will enjoy the ride :)

Sam was holding the case of his great-grandfather's glasses in his hand as he watched the three aliens that had saved him and his parents from the government agency transform right before his eyes.

"So, Optimus." Sam pointed to the tallest red and blue one that transformed into a big rig. "Ironhide." His gaze focused on the second largest one, the black robot that transformed into a pick-up truck. "And Bumblebee?" He inhaled as he glanced at the one that was his car.

Bumblebee did a little shuffle dance when his name was mentioned, giving the human he was assigned to protect a form nod.

"Yep! Second and done!" A voice suddenly rang out from Bumblebee's radio.

"You would be correct, Samuel." Optimus replied.

Judy and Ron were standing just behind their son, looking a little concerned as their gaze wildly went from one robot to another. "Wait. So why are you here again?" Ron asked hesitantly.

"We are here searching for the allspark, and we must find it before the decepticons do." Came Optimus' answer.

"Decepticons? Allspark? What are those?" Sam asked quickly before Optimus got the chance to continue.

Optimus glanced down briefly, thinking of the best way to word himself before he spoke, "Our race, from the planet Cybertron, once lived in harmony. Until one day, Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons, betrayed us. He wanted to use the allspark's power to take over Cybertron for himself, in a tyrannical rule. The autobots wouldn't allow such, and thus we fought back. But all who defied the Decepticons were destroyed."

Everyone was dead silent as Optimus spoke, "One day, I had to make the difficult decision to jettison the allspark into the far reaches of space, to keep it as far as possible from Megatron's grasp. Somehow we believe the allspark crash landed on this planet, and Megatron followed its trail here. We must find it and Megatron before the rest of his soldiers find either first."

"So there are Decepticons here?"

"Three confirmed. A possibility of a fourth, we aren't positive yet." Ironhide responded in a gruff voice.

"And if the Decepticons were to reach the allspark first, they would use it to take over this planet. With your technology they could use the allspark to create more soldiers, destroying your race and this planet entirely." Optimus continued.

"Those glasses are the key to earth's survival. It will lead us to the allspark, so we must have them."

Sam made no hesitation to quickly grab said glasses out of their case and show them to the autobot leader, "Please, take them."

Optimus gently took said lenses from the boy's hand, holding them up near his optics and observing them carefully. "Thank you, Samuel Witwicky."

::The autobots have taken the boy and most likely have obtained the ocular lenses from him.:: Barricade spoke to Starscream through his comm link as he was currently driving towards a rendezvous point with Bonecrusher and Brawl.

There was silence over the line; Barricade knew Starscream was fuming at the news as much as he was, but soon after the second in command spoke in a calm voice, ::I assume you still have the human girl in your possession?::

::I do.::

The girl was currently unconscious in his backseat, strapped down by a seatbelt. She had been passed out for almost two hours now, but scanning her Barricade found her vitals to be stable. She was alive, for now.
