Transformers Prime: I am Allspark

Chapter 5: The Journey Itself



Arcee and Bumblebee had a little trouble fighting the two Decepticons, as they hadn't fought in 3 years, and both were uncoordinated, especially Arcee, who was mourning her war partner.

A child named Raf Esquivel watched the battle between the robots as if it were a video game, excited without even knowing what was happening. Although the opposite was true for Jack, he took the situation seriously and still tried to absorb everything that was happening, and in the case of Lux, he was completely indifferent, wondering who would pay for his car repairs.

"What are they?" Raf asked, not taking his eyes off the fight.

"Alien robots that fight for the fate of their homeworld on other planets like this one." I said, mocking the fight but wondering why a female alien robot had so many curves.

"Showww." Raf replies, believing Lux's words.

"Wouldn't it be better if we left before we got crushed?" Jack suggested, not believing Lux and Raf's lack of fear in such a dangerous situation.

Lux and Raf looked at each other and nodded silently, both leaving the battlefield as the Autobots struggled to defeat the Decepticons.

Jack stood beside Raf, protecting him as if he were his older brother, and led him to a sewer pipe, while Lux followed them, walking quietly with his hands in his pockets. One of the Decepticons, realizing the three were about to run, tried to chase them, but his advance was halted when Lux looked over his shoulder, his eyes glowing white, causing the Decepticon to hesitate.

The Decepticon's distraction and hesitation gave Bumblebee enough time to land a powerful right to his face, leaving a fist-shaped indentation in the structure of his metal head.

The battle between the Autobots and Decepticons was showing a distinct Decepticon advantage until a sturdy pickup truck appeared, honked its horn, and transformed into a large battle robot with a great fighting spirit.

"Who wants a good fight?" Bulkhead said in a battle cry, punching their fists together, making a threatening noise.

The Decepticons, seeing that they were outnumbered, quickly transformed into their vehicle mode and fled the battle, not wanting to waste their lives in such a fight.

"What took you so long?" Arcee asked.

"Traffic." Bulkhead replied as an obvious answer. Leaving Bumblebee to stare at him in disbelief and indignation.

Lux, Raf and Jack left the sewers through a manhole cover that was removed with apparent ease by Lux, who had some physical characteristics of her body enhanced.

"Well... it was an adventure," Jack said, propping himself up on his knees.

"For your first time you did well, you just need to fix the screaming problem." I praised Jack, a little ironically. "Raf, for someone so young, you also showed great composure, you deserve congratulations."

Raf smiled, but his expression quickly turned sad when he remembered that he had left his toy behind. "I forgot my remote control car."

"Ohh...no need to worry." I reached behind my back and created a miniature replica of my wrecked car. I handed the toy to him, surprising him with my gesture.

"How cool!" Raf looked at his new toy, admiring its shape and design as a robotics enthusiast.

"How did you do that?" Jack asked, confused since the toy had just appeared out of nowhere.

"It's like that expression, a wizard never tells his secrets." I said, calmly walking away.

"Where are you going?" Raf asked.

"I'll go where the wind takes me." I looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was about to set. "Go back to your homes and families."

"Will we see you again?" Jack somehow felt that his unexpected new friend was someone who wouldn't be easy to meet again.

"Who knows, maybe our destinies will meet again someday." I raised my hand to wave goodbye with a peace sign. "Goodbye!"

I couldn't just stay in this city now, my presence could cause a war to burn this city down because of me. So I just walked to a bus stop and waited for the next one to pass so I could leave. It was an unexpected adventure, I admit, but the risk of exposing my identity was too great.

The next day, Jack was leaving school and saw Raf standing by a tree, waiting for someone to pick him up. When they saw each other, without any excitement, they approached each other to say hello.

"Hi Raf." Jack said a little discouraged.

"Hi Jack." Raf replied excitedly, like a kid his age should be.

"Raf, let's forget what happened between us, what we saw is impossible." Jack didn't know how to talk about the robot fight that he had witnessed the day before and that had almost caused his death.

A yellow Camaro approached, honking, its door opening to reveal that no one was driving the car, as if it were a ghost in itself. The car made a strange beeping noise,as if it were a sequence of beeps, making it difficult for normal people to understand, practically indecipherable to ordinary humans.

"Does it want us to come in?" Jack asked suspiciously.

"He just wants me to come in, your ride is there." Raf motioned to a parked blue motorcycle as if he was watching the area.

Raf got into the car and started talking to Bumblebee like they were old friends, leaving Jack alone with the alien motorcycle.

Jack, seeing the motorcycle, decided to ignore it and go back to his home, but unfortunately his destiny was already tied to this group of robots fighting in the shadows to protect humanity.

Seeing Jack ignore her, Arcee decided to follow him and try to talk to him, explaining that his life was in danger after he was accidentally seen accompanying the Autobots. Unfortunately, the veteran warrior was unaware that a rebellious and curious girl had followed her and witnessed Arcee's true humanoid form as she attempted to speak with the human. His life is now tied to the Autobots as the war continues.
