The Guide's Curse

New Mission

"Dux your instructions are to find out where Optimus is and when you find him, tell us so we can open a groundbridge."

Soundwave commed.

"Understood."

I commed back. My holoform appeared so I wouldn't look strange, ya know, being a self-driving car in all? I drove around the island, looking for the Prime. I found the rescue cars from yesterday, but nothing else. I noticed an autobot rescue symbol on each of their hoods, well all except the helicopter.

-two hours later- (did anyone read that in the announcer voice from Spongebob????)

"Dux, have you found Optimus?"

Megatron commed.

"No sir, only the rescue bots. Megatron I'm starting to think that maybe Optimus left."

I commed.

"Well go to the rescue bots. They will be bait for the main prize."

he replied.

"Understood."

I said. I drove around town, in search of the four rescue bots that had been easily found earlier. I decided to visit a local cafe. My holoform hopped out, sunglasses shading my violet eyes. I closed the door to my automobile self, and walked into the cafe. I took off my sunglasses, gazing at the coziness. I sat on a stool by the order counter. I ordered a hot cocoa. Since I was able to use my holoform I have interacted with humans more often. A waiter brought me the cup of hot cocoa that I ordered, and I thanked him. The door opened and I turned my head to the officer I met yesterday and an officer beside him, with black hair and strangley blue eyes. I should think that humans have less bright blue eyes, but I noticed this man was different. He noticed the same. He looked at me and we made eye contact, and I smiled a greeting, then hid my face and violet eyes from his veiw. My gray and white hair thankfully hid most of the brightness from my eyes.

"Exuse me where are you from?"

A man's voice asked. I turned to him and found myself face to face with someone who I wouldn't want to speak to.

"Paris."

I bluffed, using my quick thinking.

"And may I ask about your eyes?"

he asked, getting nosy.

"Exuse me I have to cut this conversation short officer due to a call I should be getting about now."

I replied, keeping my cool.

"Wouldn't you be able to answer the call here?"

he continued.

"That is not for you to know officer. Some reasons are personal."

I stated, my voice getting slightly sharp.

"Chase..."

the officer I met yesterday said.

"Chief Burns I must talk to you outside for a moment."

Chase said, his voice getting sharp as well. The two officers walked out, and I pretended to get a text. I sipped my hot cocoa, smiling from the warmth moving down my throat pipes.Sun seemed to shine on my face, and birds chirped in my head. Peace and quiet. All was well until the two officers asked me to come along with them.

"No thankyou officers."

I growled. If they wanted trouble, I'll give it to them.

"Ma'am you must come with us."

Chase insisted. I dashed inside my autobomile self, and drove off. I looked in my rear veiw mirriors, and found the police car following me.  I growled, and pushed harder on the pedal, still the police was behind me. They seemed to direct me to the place I was headed anyway, so I sped to a fire house, and I found four rescue vehicles, and a blue and red surrounding me with other humans. They all tranformed, and trapped me.

"Well, would ya look at that. Huh."

I said as I transformed.

"Optimus, lovely to see you."

I said, turning to the Prime. He simply nodded.

"There's never been a decepticon on Griffin Rock! What do we do?"

The helicopter asked frightfully. I squinted and saw the young Blades, one who was like a brother to me. My optics softened, and I looked at the firetruck who said,

"Well we'll fight. Chief Burns, get all humans inside, this might get messy."

I stared and saw Heatwave, who was like a real good sire to me. I looked at the bouldozer, and saw Boulder, another brother to me. I looked at the polic car, named Chase. I saw Chase who was like my uncle. These four were my family when my step-carrier couldn't leave me home alone, Ohama means family, and family sticks together. These mechs were strong and kind, and me, weak and mean. My expression dropped to spark-break from my growl, and I just turned, staring at all the mechs. They all were confused, so I spoke

"What happened to me?"

"Huh?"

Boulder asked. I raised both my servoes in surrender, and they led me inside. Optimus came to me and said with a small smile,

"It isn't too late to join the Autobots again."

I nodded, and thought about the offer. Many questions were asked at the same time, and I just sat, pondering. Optimus told them to wait until I was clear. A boy came to me, so I transformed, and my holoform stepped out. I hopped on my hood, and the boy stood next to me.

"So, are you going to be an Autobot again?"

he asked.

"Maybe, I really don't know. Everything is chaos now."

I replied, holding my head.

"Well I can help you straighten everything out. My name's Cody by the way."

he offered. I nodded and her hopped on my hood.

"My name's Dux."

I introduced.
