Adventures of Raf's Babysitter

Darkness Rising Part 5/Truths are Told

  A/N This is what Amelia is wearing in this chapter. I do not own the images they belong to their rightful owners. 

The next morning, Amelia went with Arcee to bring Jack back to Team Prime. As they arrived they saw Jack staring at KO drive-in sign, "Nice bike," Arcee complimented, Amelia was a few feet down the street listening to their conversation.

"Arcee, really Miko already tried. Tell Optimus, I respect him big time but if you're at war with the Decepticons, there's nothing I can do to help," Jack informed.

"Optimus, didn't send me and no one's asking for your help," Arcee told Jack who was confused as to why she was here.

"Okay? So if we both agree I'm not warrior material-" Jack was interrupted by Arcee.

"Jack, I just lost someone I cared about. Maybe it's the grief talking, maybe you're growing on me. Whatever it is, I'm just not ready to say goodbye," Arcee explained, after hearing Arcee's statement Amelia starts her motorcycle's engine and heads back to base. In her rear view mirror she saw Arcee and Jack not to far from behind her.

'Glad you decided to join back, Jack,' Amelia thought as they drive through the Autobot's base tunnel until they reached the main room, "We're back!" Amelia announced.

Jack removes his motorcycle helmet as he greeted the Autobots and their charges, "Hey, guess who's back."

"Autobots prepare for departure," Optimus ordered.

"Where too?" Arcee questioned.

"The final frontier," Miko explained.

"Space? I thought they didn't have any way to get there?" Amelia questioned, confused since Ratchet told them that the Autobots are stuck on Earth.

"They don't," Raf answered as Bumblebee gently placed Raf on the ground since he was on Bumblebee's shoulder.

"Be seeing you?" Jack asked, Arcee gave him a smile before standing next to the Autobot leader.

"Optimus, if you leave me stranded on a planet teeming with humans. I will never forgive you," Ratchet vowed.

"Until we meet again old friend," Optimus told Ratchet, "Autobots! Roll out!" The five Autobots transformed into their vehicle forms as they entered the swirling vortex. Ratchet opened the communication transmission so that they can hear each other as they heard Optimus inform his comrades, "It appears the Decepticons have sustained serious damage to their interstellar navigation system." 

"That's my handy work," Bulkhead told the Autobot leader as Ratchet and the four humans heard him say that to Optimus.

"Great job, Bulkhead," Optimus praised, "Without the dish, Megatron will be unable to aim the spacebridge to Cybertron."

Amelia made sure to make her voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "That won't stop, Megatron. He will find a loophole but I fear I know how he'll send his coordinates to your home planet," she explained.

Ratchet turned to Amelia in skepticism, "And how pray tell will they be able to do that?" he questioned.

"By using our satellites," Amelia answered, "Megatron will be using a satellite that will produce a strong signal to activate their spacebridge."

"Like the large array of satellites in Texas!" Raf confirmed Amelia's statement.

"This isn't some child's play!" Ratchet exclaimed.

"Good thinking Amelia and Raf," Optimus praised, "Ratchet, have Agent Fowler alert the array staff to the security hazard."

"You, soldier! Your out of uniform! Put on some pants!" Fowler ordered before passing out again, Amelia silently chuckled as she recorded that to show Fowler when he's more alert.
