Avengeformers Chapter 18

(Note: Play the music when everyone gets to the desert and Optimus and Nick explain to everyone what happened until the end)

Nick walked up to Bumblebee and placed his hand on top. “What is it? Did something happen to Starscream?” he asked quickly.

“No. Just get in. Then I’ll tell you on the way,” Bumblebee replied. Nick nodded and rushed inside, strapped himself in, then they took off.

After the two of them were far away from the hotel and deep into the busy streets in Dallas, Bumblebee finally decided to explain what was happening. “Nick. S.H.I.E.L.D. just tried to speak with Optimus. They said they needed you and him, but nobody else. Not even me, or Ratchet, or just anybody.”

“What?!” Nick asked.

“I have no idea what it is. But I’ve got to get you to the parking lot as soon as possible and then the rest of us will leave to another parking lot. Starscream and Jetfire agreed to stick together in the sky and fly around until word is given. They’re going to remain hidden in the clouds.”

Nick sighed. “Please be safe. And I hope nothing happens to you guys…”

“We’ve remained hidden from the people here for the past seven years. I don’t think an extra day will affect us,” Bumblebee stated. Nick nodded hesitantly. “Don’t worry. We’ll be fine.”

Eventually, Bumblebee and Nick arrived at the parking lot. Only Optimus was there, and the sound of Starscream and Jetfire in the sky slowly became less audible as they flew far into the distance. The door opened, and Nick got out, said thanks, and watched as Bumblebee drove off into the distance.

Optimus transformed and bent down to pick Nick up, then placed him on his shoulder. That took him by surprise and he gasped, then realized what was happening. “We will need your video watch to speak with S.H.I.E.L.D.,” Optimus said. “No. I do not know what they want. They just said they wanted to speak with the two of us. It is likely about its destruction.” Optimus gazed down at the ground in complete disappointment with that. “I promise. We will end Slipfang and Megatron’s terror.”

“Yeah. I hope…” Nick commented. He climb up onto Optimus’s shoulder and held up his wrist. Quickly, he scrolled down to S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York, then pressed the name and grabbed onto a pipe on Optimus’s back. He turned to him. “Do you mind?” Optimus shook his head. “Thanks.” Both turned to the watch, and just a simple calling symbol appeared. Nick cocked his head in confusion. “Why can’t we see them?”

“There is only one screen Director Fury,” someone said. Nick quickly recognized it as one of the heads of S.H.I.E.L.D. “The entire council is here to discuss the current situation.”

“Which current situation?” Nick asked.

“Be patient Nick!” Optimus grunted.

“Believe me, they have no patience,” Nick mumbled while glaring at him. He turned back to the watch. “Well which situation is it? There are currently several, and half of them you likely don’t know about.”

“We know every last one of them,” a member stated. “Therefore, we are here to mention to both you and Optimus Prime the most important ones.”

“May I say one thing before we start?” Optimus asked. One of the members agreed to let him. “If we cannot see you, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently under siege, for all we know, Slipfang or Megatron or Silvertooth could be right behind you all, making you say these exact words.” Nick’s eyes widened and he turned his head slowly to Optimus in complete shock.

“For the record Optimus, we are not currently at S.H.I.E.L.D. We are at an underground branch that—“

“And the Slyther tunnels lead directly to S.H.I.E.L.D.” Optimus interrupted.
