A/N: Sorry it took so long to get this up a lot has been happening lately I won't bore you with the details but hopefully I'll be getting more of these up. I was thinking about it and decided to redo the first chapter enjoy.
"Earth... birth place of the human race. A species much like our own. Capable of great compassion."
*17000 B.C.*
"...and great violence. For in our quest to protect the humans, a deeper revelation dawns. Our worlds have met before."
*Shanghai, China - Current day*
People were running everywhere as soldiers surrounded the area. A dingy old ice cream truck made it's way through as it rang out, "Ding-a-ling! Come out and get yo' ice cream. Any bad robot out there better get ready for an ass-whuppin'."
Captain Salem Witwicky chuckled softyly from her spot next to her friend and Major William Lennox. "Arcees, get ready to launch."
Lennox went on to tell the team about the importance of stay out of the public's eye as we followed the thermal ripple of the Decepticon. She watch Lennox walk up to Ironhide and pat his on his hood and the weapon specialist transformed. "He's here. I smell him."
Salem moved quickly over to Epps as he uttered an 'oh no.' Glaring softly at her comrade, "No you don't get to say 'oh no,' that always means shits about to go down."
Lennox came up beside her and asked Epps what he found, looking at the thermal readings he radioed the team. "Right, everybody, be steady... We're right on top of it."
Just as he finished that thought the Decpticon transformed with a roar scaring a few soldiers as Lennox call for and Eagle-niner! In the mayhem their eye in the sky spotted another Con as Lennox radioed the twins and Arcee. Sadly the twins botched the ambush causing Sideswipe to be called in. Sideswipe being the show off did just that, "Damn I'm good."
The larger Con was still on the move as Epps called for 'Big Buddha' to be dropped and soon Salem heard Optimus' voice saying he was in pursuit. Climb into Ironhide they quickly made their way after the Con. Optimus took the Con down quickly as they made their way over.
"Punk ass Decepticon."
Optimus leaned forward the to wounded Con, "Any last words." A shiver ran down Salem's spin, "This is not your pla-anet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again and claim the Allspark." At the end the Con's red eyes locked on her form, Lennox push her behind him slightly.
Optimus glared down at the defeated Con for threatening Salem. Aiming the gun for the Con's head he off-lined the Con, "Not today"
*Time Laps NEST-Diego Garcia*
Salem rubbed her neck as she exited the plane, over the past twon year more and more Con's keep popping up. Sadly she looked over at the fallen soldiers they unloaded, her frown faded as she was attacked by a three foot tall silver blur.
"Mama!"
Salem looked down at the once little cellphone bot she saved two years ago. He had grown, Ratchet said because on her Allspark energy, and now turned into a iPhone 3G when with her. Though on the base he loved being in his humanoid form and following her around. She could believe how the passed two years went by so fast. Shortly after the battle of Battle city their group was given promotions Will was named Major of the NEST unit and she was his Captain. Not only that but because of the Allspark energy moving to her as a vessel Optimus asked her to be an acting Ambassador between the Autobots and humans.
"Witwicky shouldn't you be getting ready to go?" Ah yes, she had sometime off to go help Sam get settled into his new college and pick Bee up to bring back here. Plus she wanted to check up on Mikaela since she was 'trying to get her manchild father fresh out of prison back on his feet'. Chuckling she picked up Silverwind, her babybot, and turned to her friend.
"Trying to get rid of me Lennox." A smirk played over the Major's face, "Of course if we have wild parties while you're here you'll tell Sarah."
A helicopter cut Salem off, "looks like the party is starten' early." Lennox followed her gaze and rolled his eyes. Over the past two years Galloway had been trying to get of the base and none of the soldiers liked the man. With Silverwind on her hip, she cooed at him to activate his holoform, as the two high rank officers met Galloway half way.
"Director Galloway, what an honor. I'd love to show you around, but you gotta be on the classified access list." Galloway shoved some papers into Will chest as he glared at Salem. "I am now. Presidential order, Major. I got a message for your classified space buddies! You guys made a mess of Shanghai. When did we start allowing children and there mothers run around a classified base?"
Salem glared as she moved Silverwind higher on her hip. Shyly her son hide his face in her neck, his blonde hair brushing against her check and mixing with her long brown hair. Sliverwind was a pale boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, if Salem didn't know better she would say he was trying to look like his adopted father, Bumblebee.
"Excuse me I happen to be the Captain Salem Witwicky and Ambassador for the humans around here. As for this child you don't need to worry about him just worry about yourself if I hear you being cruel to him." With that said Salem turned and headed into the base, leaving Lennox to play as tour guide the the moron. Jazz caught her attention with a same wave as she made her way to the debriefing, they had to tell the General about the Con today. She was planning on leaving after that was finished.
Will spoke to the General, who was less than pleased with Shanghai, and directed him to listen to Optimus himself. Sliverwind doze off against Salem as she leaned back watching Optimus change in front of Galloway for the first time.
"You got to wonder, if God made us in his image, who made him?" Salem smiled at Epps comment to Galloway as Optimus began.
"General, our alliance countermanded six Decepticon incursions this year, each on a different continent. They're clearly searching for something. But last night's encounter came with a warning." Optimus proceeded to play back a recording of the Con, the voice still sent shivers through Salem. When finished Morshower asked what the Fallen meant.
"Origin Unknown. The only record history of our race was contained within the Allspark and lost with its destruction." The Autobot thought it best to let the government think the cube was destroyed so they wouldn't experiment on Salem, and Lennox wholeheartedly agreed.
"Excuse me!" Salem rolled her eyes at the obnoxious man, "With this so-called Allspark now destroyed, why hasn't the enemy left the planet like you thought they would?"
Lennox introduced Galloway as their new liaison with a roll of his own years as Salem heard Morshower mumble about not getting the memo. After some stumbling Galloway made his way over to the camera set up to the General.
"Um, after all the damages in Shanghai, the President is, um, hard-pressed to say the job is getting done. Now under the classified Alien-Autobot Cooperation Act, you agree to share your intel with us, but not your advancements in weaponry."
Optimus pointed at Galloway, "We've witness your human capacity for war. It would absolutely bring more harm than good."
"But who are you to judge what's best for us?" Lennox stepped in here, "With all due respect, we've been fighting side by side in the field for two years." Epps followed right after Lennox, "We've shed blood, sweat, and precious metal together."
Galloway thinking he was quick thinking leaned over the railing to see Epps by Optimus' foot, "Soldier, you're paid to shot, not talk."
That pissed Salem off as Epps mumbled, "don't tempt me." Optimus tried to calm the two fighters with a soft, 'easy,' as Galloway continued his rant, "And the, ah, newest member of your team. I understand they arrived here after you sent a message into space, an open invitation to come to Earth, vetted by no one at the White House."
Morshowner cut Galloway off, "Let me stop you right there, Mr. Galloway. It was vetted right here. And from my experience, the judgment of both Major Lennox and his team has always been above reproach."
Galloway was trying to be smooth again looking strait into the camera, "Well, be that aa it may, General, it is the position of the President that when our national security is a stake... No one is above reproach. Now, what do we know so far?"
He paused looking over at Salem before back to Optimus, "We know that the enem leader, classified NBE-One a.k.a. Megatron, is rusting in peace at the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss, surrounded by SOSUS detection nets and a full-time submarine surveillance. We also know that the only remaining piece of your alien Allspark is locked in an electromagnetic vault here on one of the most sucure navel bases in the world."
Salem didn't know why but with him saying all this classified things in the open was making her uneasy. "And since no one can seem to tell me what the enemy is now after."
Galloway paused lock around the room before turning back on Optimus, "Well, there's only one clear conclusion! You! The Autobots! They're here to hunt you! What's there to hunt for on Earth besides that? The Fallen shall rise again? It sounds to me like something's coming. So, let me ask, if weultimately conclude that our national security is best served by denying you further asylum on our planet... Will you leave? Peacefully?"
Salem moved to yell at Galloway only to stop with Optimus stare. Standing there she watched Optimus lean down to Galloway, "Freedom is your right. If you make that request, we will honor it. But... before your President decides, please ask him this: What if we leave... and you are wrong?"
As Galloway looked pale Lennox lean over to Optimus and whispered, "That's a good question."
