Sidestreaker

Chapter 10-Glasses map, Trying to have a plan, and Hover Dam discovering

Still Sunstreaker P.O.V. After driving in silence for a few hours, the Autobots stopped, so Simba, Shika, and Derek can at lest take a bathroom break. Optimus wouldn't lead his people into a possibly dangerous situation. He hoped desperately that Sam, Mikaela, RJ, Bumblebee and Sideswipe were okay. "Please. Let this work." Optimus pleaded to some unknown god, holding the glasses as Jazz came closer. "Fire it up, Optimus," he said. Optimus' optics let out a blue beam that hit the glasses. A holographic map of Earth popped up and they were staring at the map with intense focus. Optimus bent closer. "The code on these glasses indicate that the AllSpark is 230 miles from here," he announced. "I sense the Decepticons are getting ready to mobilize," Ratchet warned them, glancing around uneasily and Ironhide nodded. "They must know it's here, as well," he said before Jazz spoke up. "What about Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and RJ?" he asked. "We can't just leave them to die and become some human experiment." Jazz said with me nodded, missing my twin and charge who could be dissected. "They'll die in vain if we don't accomplish our mission. Bumblebeeand Sideswipe are brave soldiers. This is what they would want." Optimus replied. But it sounded a lot like Optimus was trying to convince himself of that fact and Ironhide let out a growl. 

"Why are we fighting to save the humans? They're a primitive and violent race." He said angrily.  "Were we so different?" Optimus reminded the weapons specialist. "They're a young species. They have much to learn. But I've seen goodness in them. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. You all know there's only one way to end this war. We must destroy the Cube. If all else fails, I will unite it with the Spark in my chest." Optimus continued as everyone there let out a gasp. "That's suicide!" Derek, Simba, and Shika said. "The Cube is raw power! It could destroy you both!" Ratchet protested. "A necessary sacrifice to bring peace to this planet and its occupants. We cannot let the humans pay for our mistakes..." Optimus said about sacrifice. "You could lose your life because a war that human species started. You're too important and the Cube must be destroyed, even if it means losing part of our culture. Its destruction would be for the better." Ratchet said about Optimus and the cube. "It's been an honor serving with you all. Autobots, roll out!" he said. 

A few hours later, the Autobots stopped because they needed a recharge. Simba, Shika, and Derek were on first watch or out hunting in the forest beside the Autobots. Optimus and the Autobots would do no good if they couldn't keep their eyes open while fighting the Decepticons, which would most likely happen. After an hour or two, everyone was up, and they were doing their own then before leaving. "The Cube is hidden in the Hoover Dam," Ratchet announced. "I've been studying the map." "We need a plan." Sunstreaker instantly started rattling off some plans that mostly ended with him storming the dam single-handedly, grabbing the Cube, get Sideswipe and RJ out of there. The rest of the Autobots ignored him, knowing that most of them would fail and getting them into bigger trouble. "C'mon, we got a Cube to find." Simba said to every bot there, as he, Shika, and Derek jumped in Jazz, just in case, I deicide to kill a Decepticon on the way. 

RJ P.O.V. After the car ride, we were forced into a helicopter with a blond woman and a big black guy. We all had headphones and microphones attached to us, but all was silent. "So..." Sam began. "What'd they get you for?" The blonde asked. "My sister and I bought cars...turned out to be an alien robots." The black guy mouthed a couple words to himself. "Who knew." Sam states. I look out the window, only to hope that Bumblebee and Sideswipe are alright. The copter was silent until we landed. We are at a hoover dam. I watched my surroundings. Afraid that I'll be jumped again. "It's okay, RJ." Sam assures me helping Mikaela off the helicopter. I was stunned see the secretary of defense come out of another helicopter. We were brought to a row of familiar black cars. There was an edge to the dam. Sam and Mikaela looked down, but I stayed put. Still trying to fight back tears. 

We were quickly brought over to a large pillar thing with a couple of soldiers standing on the side. Not just any soldiers, it was Will and his crew. "Will, Epps, Fig." I yelled getting their attention immediately as I ran to them happy again. "RJ, good to again. Even if its not in the best condition again." Will said to me after they hugged me. "Why are you here thou." Epps asked confused on why I'm here. "Well, my and Sam's cars are robots from space. 2/3 of them are here because they saved us from going splat and S7 went all evil, freeze our friends." I replied. Then the secretary came to us and spoke to Will. "I got your intel, excellent work." Keller said to Will. "Thank you, sir. What about the gunships?" Will asked about the gunships. "They're being retrofitted with sabot rounds now." The secretary named Keller replied. "If they hit us again, we'll be ready, but it won't do us much good if we can't get world communications back up." I went to Sam and Mikaela were so, Will and Keller can talk more military. We continue forward to meet a familiar face...the creepy agent from the car. I wanted to get my blade out at the sight of him, but Sam grabbed my hand to stop me. Then, we were only a few feet away from him. I keep a steady glare as I walked to Will and crew. "Hey kids. I think we got off on a bad start, huh?" I heard him say from where I was. "I hate that creepy agent guy." I said to Epps and Will. "Why, did he do something to you because if he did, we'll let Fig take him to his mothers to serve him to the crocs." Epps said. "Well, dear friends, he said that Mikaela and I were hot criminals and look at us with a perverted look and voice." I told them about the part where S7 took us and trying to take us somewhere." I said about the horrible memory of the kidnapping. "Well, we can get Fig to bring crocs and gators to eat that prick the next time." Epps, Will, I and the rest of Will's crew turned to where Mikaela, Sam and Creepy face were. 

"Where's my and my sister's cars?" Sam said, determined to get Bumblebee and Sideswipe back. Simmons doesn't answer, a man with a mustache and sunglasses walks up to everyone. "Kids, I need you too listen to me very carefully. People can die here. We need to know everything you know; we need to know it now." I nod and cross my arms. "Okay...but first I'll take our cars, our parents. Maybe you should write that down. Oh, and their juvie records." Mikaela's head snaps up at the word and I smiled knowing that Sam was winning her over. "That's gotta be gone. Like forever." I look at both men in the eye. Will, Epps, and Fig all looked at me and I gave them, 'I'll tell you later about it.' Look. They nodded at the answer I gave them. For a while, nobody said anything. Simmons cleared his throat. "So why Earth, you asked?" he asked. "The Decepticons want the AllSpark," I told them. Keller gave me a blank look. "The AllSpark?" he asked. "Well, yeah, they came here looking for some sort of cube-looking thing. Anyway, Mister NBE- One here, aka Megatron (that's what they call him, who's pretty much the harbinger of death) wants to use the Cube to transform human technology to take over the universe. That's their plan. To take over the world Imhotep-style, but with no voodoo powers." Sam said and Simmons gave us a speculative look. "And you're sure about that?" he said. "Sam's right about that, Sir Douche." I said sarcastically as Sam nodded. "Then where does she come in? And those gold and silver guys seemed awfully protective of her." He said pointing to me while talking about Sunny and Sides. 

"I have my own story," I replied about my past. "One that Mikaela nor I will not going to tell you without her permission." Sam said as he glanced at me and I shook my head as I glanced around the dam. "You did something to the dam so that no Autobots or Decepticons didn't find it." Simmons nodded. "We built the dam to keep NBE- One and our crown jewel from being detected by anyone or any alien species on the outside." My eyes narrowed. "Does your crown jewel happen to be the Cube?" I asked. Banachek took a deep breath. "Follow me," he said, and they left the room with Megatron. The second the doors closed behind them as they entered the room right next to Megatron's, and everyone's eyes widened as they saw the Cube. It was in the middle of the room and was the size of a house. How was she supposed to get that back to Optimus? "Carbon dating puts the Cube here around ten thousand BC," Banachek told them. "The first Seven didn't find it until 1913. They knew it was alien because of the matching hieroglyphics on the Cube as well as NBE- One. President Hoover had the dam built around it." I nodded, but the blonde lady (who she thought was named Maggie) spoke up. "Wait, back up. You said that the dam hides the Cube's energy. What kind exactly?" Maggie asked. "Probably some kind of energy that Megatron wants to destroy our world and get the resources to get Cybertron back." I said with Mikaela and Sam nodded at the answer.
