A/N: HELLO MY FELLOWS, I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR DISCONTINUING DMWTAS, I HAD LOST INSPIRATION AND IN HONESTY I FORGOT THE PLOT. ON A HAPPY NOTE I'VE MADE ANOTHER FIC THAT WILL TAKE ITS PLACE. THE FIC IS CALLED THE HELP OF A STAR.
The Help of a Star
Chapter 1
"Ugh...what happened?" She asked as her eyes fluttered opened. Astera looked around and saw she was in an interrogation room. The walls was concrete and she sat with her hands cuffed behind her back and a table with two chairs. 'How the hell did I get into this?' She thought and turned her head to the left slightly looking at the two-way mirrors. 'Oh that's right...I remember now'
-Earlier that day-
Astera or Star as she was called by her friends and family just finished watching the recent Transformers movie and was upset. She walked out of the movie theater angry which was an understatement, Star was pissed. "Why did they kill off Ratchet!" She growled angrily and pulled her hair in frustration. "Stupid lock-" her rant was interrupted with the sight of 5 vehicles of her dreams. She blinks slowly and felt her stomach flipped and turned. "Oh my god!" She gasped and went up to the biggest truck which was a replica of Optimus Prime. She took several selfies and pictures of the famous Peterbilt. "This is so amazing. I'm standing next to Optimus Prime!"
Her eyes then went to the car behind the truck and she squealed. "GMC TopKick! Ironhide!" Astera went to it and took more pictures. "A shame they also killed you off...stupid Sentinel Prime." She growled and then saw an Ambulance. "This is amazing is there a Transformers Convention around here?" She took a step back and took a picture of all the cars. "Optimus, Ironhide, Ratchet, Jazz and Bumblebee. Now all I need are the Decepticons." She giggled and turned around to take a selfie in front of the cars.
-The 'Cars'-
$Optimus the femme knows of us. $ Ironhide told Optimus. He scanned Astera as soon as she touched his hood. $ Astera Brown, African-American, 19, DOB Feb 12, 1997, hazel eyes and mid length black hair, college graduate. She has an expunged criminal record, has been in a fatal accident and a nasty temper. $ He described her.
$What did she mean by them killing us off? $ Ratchet commented
$Yeah...she said something about a lock then stopped. $ Jazz quipped in.
Optimus turned his scanners on Astera and pondered on his choices. He called Sgt. Epps and Cpt. Lennox about the situation. $She's coming with us...the knowledge she knows cannot be spread around. $
-Astera-
Astera finished taking a flurry of pictures of the cars and smiled. "Now to upload them on Facebook." She murmured and turned to the left and hit something or rather someone. She looked up slowly and blinked. "Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson."
The two men looked at her in confusion. "No...That's not our names." William Lennox said and looked down at her. Robert Epps did the same and raised a brow.
Astera looked at their chest and saw their name and rank. Her eyes widen and she started thinking. 'Oh no...It's like the fanfics.' She thought and took a hesitant step back then turned to the cars. "Oh fuck." She quickly started running away from them.
Lennox groaned. "After her." He got into Ironhide's cab with Epps and they all drove after Astera.
"Damn...she can run." Epps chuckled. "Why did she call us those names?"
"Don't know just keep your eyes on her." Lennox shrugged and kept eyes on Astera.
Astera was busy running, weaving, and jumping through people and other obstacles. 'This can't be happening! How did this happened? How did I get here!?' She thought and panted heavily as she parkour up a building and ran across the rooftops.
-Optimus and the others.-
$Frag the femme is fast. $ Ironhide increased his speed. $Can I shoot her? $
$No Ironhide, we do not harm humans. $ Optimus says as he dodges oncoming cars.
$Frag$ Ironhide grumbled through the comm-link. He concentrated on driving.
$Bumblebee and Jazz go ahead of us and try to surround her. $ Optimus ordered
$Affirmative$ Jazz turned right and went ahead of them with Bumblebee.
-Astera-
Astera panted heavily as she ran across the rooftops. She jumped over a gap between the buildings and dropped down a ladder. 'Now where to?' She thought quickly and walked down the busy sidewalk. 'Can't let them get me...especially with my ability.' She turned on a 4 way intersection but halted when Jazz drifted and parked in front of her.
"Don't even think about it." Jazz taunted her.
She turned around and Bumblebee was parked there blocking her. 'Shit...they blocked me from going east and west...can't go south since the others are there...and no doubt-' she stopped her thinking when she became completely surrounded by the Autobots.
Lennox and Epps both got out of Ironhide. "Now listen girl...calm down and come with us. There's no need for you to run." He held up his hands showing he meant no harm.
Epps walked forward. "Yeah...easy now. We don't want to hurt you."
Astera felt like a trapped animal and her face showed how frightened she was. Epps and Lennox both slowly approached her and she kept taking a steps back. Her hazel eyes slowly changed to pure white.
$Her eyes they changed color$ Ratchet commented as he took note of this checking to Astera's medical records.
She panted and dashed away to Jazz and jumped over him. She placed her hand on his hood and flooded his systems with her energy bending him to her will.
"Whoa hold up there wh-!" Jazz yelled then stopped. He was forced to change into his bipedal form and he picked up Astera. "Where to Astera?" He droned.
"What the hell!?" Lennox yelled in shock.
"Put me in your spark chamber and get me out of here." Astera ordered and Jazz complied with her order and placed Astera safely in his spark chamber. She looks around and got comfortable her eyes marveled at Jazz's spark. 'Such a pretty blue color.' She caressed his spark gently.
Optimus and the others immediately changed forms just as Jazz turned around and started running. "Autobots roll out and get Jazz and the human female."
5 hours later of lots of running, Astera hyperventilating and panicking and being knocked unconscious from her head hitting the frame of Jazz's spark chamber. As she was knocked unconscious Jazz returned to normal.
"The hell happened!? Why you guys have me pinned down to Ratchet's table!?" He looked around and struggled.
"Stop moving Jazz, you have a human in your spark chamber." Ratchet mentioned as he gently pried open the young mechs spark chamber.
"Why would I put a human near my spark?" He murmured and kept still as Ratchet pulled out Astera and handed her to Lennox and Epps who cuffed her and sent her to an interrogation room.
"Because she forced you to do it." Ratchet revealed. "Now...I believe you still are in a need of a check up." He smirks devilishly and poor Jazz gulped in fear.
-Now enough flashback! On with the story-
Astera was groaning in pain and she laid her head on the table. "Can you guys just get this shit over with?" She called out.
Outside of the room William Lennox and Robert Epps looked at one another.
"You got this one...I'm not good with handling girls." Epps pants his friend's shoulder and grinned.
"Asshole." Lennox grumbled and goes into the interrogation room and took a seat in front of her. "Ok...so straight to the point. Who are you? How do you know about them? How much do you know about them? And what did you do to Jazz?"
Astera grumbled and lightly banged her head on the table. "I'm...Astera Brown. I know about the Autobots because they're a franchise where I'm from. I know a lot about them and what I did to Jazz is… I'm not saying." She told him.
"Look, explain what you mean about 'franchise' and explain what you did or I will have no choice but to hand you over to the government where they'll do experiments on you." William stated sternly and left no room to play.
"I have reasons to believe I'm from another dimension...and as for what I did well...I am what I call a technomancer. I can bend technology to my will, make all types of tech and can do a lot of things with it." Astera mumbled not liking the idea of being an experiment.
Lennox nodded and pulls her up and leads her to the Autobots. "If what you say is true I want you to describe each one of these guys."
Astera nodded and sighed, she walked up to Optimus Prime and let her skin touch his metal plating on his peds. "Optimus Prime or Orion Pax as he was once known, he is the leader of the Autobots, he is the last of the Dynasty of Primes...he is caring and compassionate but under that is contained ruthlessness." She says aloud. "It is suspected that he and Megatron were once brothers and that he and Elita-1 was spark mates."
Optimus Prime was struck in silence. It's been eons since he heard his true name and for Astera to say details about him that others don't know is shocking.
Lennox tilted his head. "Spark mates?" He asked.
"In human terms husband and wife but unlike humans Cybertronians are strictly monogamous." Astera sighs and goes to Ironhide. She touched his hood also. "Ironhide, weapons specialist, stubborn and doesn't always see Optimus's point in things despite their long friendship. He's very trigger-happy, he has a relationship to a femme known as Chromia." She continues this until she talked about each one. Astera returned to Will's side and went behind him.
"Why are you hiding?" He asked her looking over his shoulder.
"Because, I have said some things that are painful and shouldn't have been said." She whispered. "And now Ironhide is going to get angry."
"WHO ARE YOU!?" Ironhide stood over them pointing his cannon at her. "A Decepticon spy is what you are!"
Astera froze in slight fear and touched his cannon with her forehead as her eyes changed to white. "Return to your alt-mode and sleep."
Ironhide's optics glazed over and he nodded. "Affirmative." His gears shifted and he was in his truck form and stood motionless.
The Autobots stood still and looked at Astera in shock yet again. "That power of yours must be kept safe. The Decepticons cannot get their servos on you." Ratchet voiced and scanned Astera of any injuries and found none.
"I don't care about the Decepticons and I can take care of myself thank you for your concern though." She mumbled "Sorry about bringing up bad memories."
Optimus nodded. "It is alright though do not mention it again. Also you'll be staying with us."
"Fine..." She muttered and broke out of her cuffs and rubbed her wrists.
"Hey how did you do that?" Will asked.
Astera tilted her head and waved him over. She whispered in his ear. "If I tell you I'll have to cut your balls off, wear a strap on and fuck that pretty ass of yours." She kissed his cheek as he pales. She snickered and ran up Optimus leg and maneuvers up his body and sits on his shoulder. "If I stay with you then I want to have access to Ratchet's med bay so I can learn more about Cybertronian anatomy, create weapons and stuff that I want and have free range of the base." She crossed her arms. "All of which are nonnegotiable and if you refused I'll hack the base and tell Soundwave where the NEST base is located."
"Eh Prime this femme got guts of steel." Jazz chuckled and looked on Prime's shoulder.
"That she does.." Optimus rumbled. "Terms are accepted." He told her and gets her off of his shoulder and holds Astera in his servo. "I'll have Ratchet assigned as your guardian then."
Her eyes widen. "You're having the Hatchet become my guardian!" She said dramatically. "I would rather have Megatron as my guardian than old Hatchet!"
Everything and everyone was silent until Jazz burst out laughing is aft off following by Bumblebee and then the others started laughing including Optimus.
Ratchet didn't find it funny. "Next one laughing gets a taste of my wrench" he held up his trusty wrench.
"Sorry Ratchet, I'll be honored to have a great medic as you as my guardian." She says in order to quell Ratchet ire. He nods and goes to his med bay.
