Lyrics
"Earth, birthplace of the human race, a species much like our own, capable of great compassion…"
"Jazz!" Ally raced to hug a silver leg.
I watch her from where I stood, she was crying.
"Oh, sis! Don't waste ya tears like that! I'll be home before ya know it!" He bends down to stroke her hair.
She's grown up a lot since we all first met her and her adopted brother, Samuel.
"Promise?" She pleads. Jazz smiled gently and kissed her head.
"Always sis…"
"And great violence…"
It seemed only yesterday that our scout, Bumblebee, reported that Alicia had suffered the loss of her parents at a young age.
She and her protector, Cyborg, pushed through such a fate. Her parents killed in front of her, scaring her innocence forever…
Even today, guns or cannons frighten her. She dares not to even give them a passing glance, unless it was necessary.
Her hazel eyes shined fear for us as we head out on a lead of where Decepticons had seeked refuge in Shanghai, China.
She fears some of will not return from this mission, as she always does…
"For in our quest to protect the humans…"
Her eyes finally met mine before she came to me.
Her spark reached out to me, seeking some form of comfort, something to give her hope that we all will return, human and Autobot, alive.
"Daddy… Please come back…" She pleads with me. I hold my hand out to her, she climbs up unafraid, and I hold her to my chest plates over my spark.
I say nothing, I just hold her close.
She snuggles close, and allows the tears to flow.
Jazz watches us before he is loaded onto the chopper with the others heading out on the mission. She cries harder as he turns away, the bond between them stronger then when she brought him back from the grave. He waves one final time before changing and entering the chopper.
"A deeper revelation dawns. Our world has met before."
She holds the last bit of power from the All Spark, a being who spared her life when her parents were murdered.
The very being that gave her strength to move along, to find her path in this world, and to see the world through our optics when others cannot.
But now… She fears more often, telling me she feels something evil is coming… Something rather big, and scary in her eyes.
She dreamed of red eyes, but no symbol of a Decepticon… What she sees I do not know, for all she sees is the eyes of a monster, nothing but red, glowing glass.
I fear for her, but I cannot interfere with whatever her fate is leading her to. I wish her to be safe; she is my adopted daughter…
What I fear most of all, is something in our ancient history coming back to haunt her mind. She feels, in her spark, that this evil is coming, it is alive and waiting…
But she doesn't know what.
"For the last two years, an advance team of new Autobots has taken refuge here under my command."
"Sunstreaker! Sideswipe!" I call.
Both twins race to face me and my youngling.
"Sir?" They answer.
"Ally's chopper will be here to take her home in a few hours. We won't be back in time to take her the rest of the way. I want the both of you to escort her home safely." I say.
Both smile and look at Ally. Their smiles died when she wouldn't look at them, her spark still curled into my own.
"Don't worry bossbot; she'll be safe with us with her. When she gets home, we'll stay the night… Just in case…" Sideswipe said, his optics shining with concern.
The twins have grown on Ally, and she on them, they became a team, or what she desires to call… A family…
Sunstreaker, who is closed to many around him, though he would never admit it he had a place in his spark that only Ally was allowed to be in.
"Together, we form an alliance with the humans, a secret but brave squad of soldiers. A classified strike team called NEST."
"Come on kiddo, Epps brought us a game to play." Sideswipe coaxed Ally.
She didn't move for what seemed a while, till she slowly crawled in to his hand and hugged his thumb.
Her hold on my spark was still strong; she didn't want to let me go. But she was given no choice.
"YO! Optimus! You got 2 minutes!" I hear William Lennox call out, he and other soldiers were loading up choppers of their own. I nod and turned to my daughter.
Her eyes, green, brown, and electric blue, staring back into my own sapphire optics. "We will be home." I say.
"Swear?" She croaks.
At first I was silent, and then I say, "You have my word…" It satisfied her enough for her to relax her hold of my spark.
The twins knew that this form of promise was to comfort her, so they didn't say anything that would have upset her.
I turn and head for my chopper.
"We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes hiding in different countries around the globe."
As I look out the window of the chopper, I see the base shrink, but at the very top of the radio tower was Ally. Her ability to do what the humans call 'The Impossible' still astounds me.
The speckles of glowing blue in her eyes, and her hair whipping around in the air were the last thing I saw as we started to head off. The tears that once stained her face were gone; replacing them was the brave face that was in, The Battle of Mission City, a long time ago.
I don't need both Sunny and Sides to take care of me daddy. Sides is going with you, Sunny will be with me and Bumblebee.
She is still trying to prove that she is unaffected of what happened all those years ago.
And you all better come back… or else I get to bring yal back and kill you all over again!
I chuckle at her empty threats; she loved us all as her family.
I will call you when we all come home youngling. You need to head home and help your brother pack. I love you, my youngling.
I feel her last nudge to my spark, right before the chopper dragged me further away and I could no longer see her.
"My only mission other then hunting the Decepticons, is keeping my daughter from any harm, and help her grow to be the best she can be. She has a future, and she will reach it, no matter what comes her way… I only hope that whatever that future may be… That all of us are part of it and that the war is over, so we may all live in peace…"
~*~Ally Witwicky's POV~*~
I sat with Sunny as we headed home. My eyes were watching the land pass us by, Sunny was going through the radio trying to lighten the darken mood that was between us.
He found something that actually made me feel like I was little again, I was about 12 when the movie Barnyard came out, there was one song that always made me feel stronger, braver, and gave me the feeling that there was always more to my survival.
I won't back down; Ben the cow sang it fighting to his very death…
I smile lightly as the song began to play. "This isn't my usual style kiddo, better enjoy it cause this is the FIRST and LAST time I ever play this song of MY radio."
"Thanks… I mean it Sunny…" I say.
"You tell anyone, you owe me 4 washed and 10 waxes…" He mutters.
Well I won't back down, No I won't back down.
You can stand me up at the gates of hell, but I won't back down.
Gonna stand my ground, won't turn around, and I'll keep this world from dragging me down,
Well I'll stand my ground.
And I won't back down.
Hey~ baby
There ant no easy way out,
Hey~ I will stand my ground and I wont back down.
Hey~ baby
There ant no easy way out,
Hey~ I will stand my ground and I wont back down,
No I won't back down.
I couldn't help but hum to the song, Sunny was annoyed about it, but the giant sunflower can get over it. He cares about me enough to let me listen to the song right now.
I was just letting the song flow through me, and then came the thought of everyone out there fighting…
I didn't want to be some kid that was in the way, I mean, the government is making me stay with them over the summer, stealing me away from the family that had their claim on me for years before I found out that the All Spark had custody of me…
To be honest, it sounds like I'm a kid in one of those divorced parents fight for custody! My families are fighting one another to keep me at certain times.
Sunny senses my thoughts and turns up the music and reeves his engine to go faster. He always loved to race, as long as we minded his paint job.
I laugh as we hit the speed of 90 miles and hour.
He even gets a kick out of it and chuckles as he started to do drifts and possibly illegal donuts on the open road, luckily there were no other cars or other people to report us in our time of fun.
Well I know what's right,
I got just one life.
In a world that keeps on pushing me around,
But I'll stand my ground.
And I won't back down…
Hey~ Baby,
There ant no easy way out,
Hey~ I will stand my ground,
And I won't back down
No I wont back down~
As the song ended we entered the city and made our way into a very familiar block…
Home…
I was kind of excited to be back, but that feeling died when I saw a large group of Firemen, Policemen, and so on standing in front of my house, which looked like it went through World War 2…
Mom must be pissed.
Dad must be down right pissed.
Sam must have pissed his pants.
"There are no signs of Decepticons Ally… Bumblebee must have taken care of them long before we got here…" Sunny whispered.
I nod and open the door, he reluctantly let me go. We didn't know what happened here… So we don't know if it's entirely safe…
But then again I see Sam getting yelled at by mom and dad so it must be clean of Decepticons.
"Go to the garage with Bumblebee, get a report of what happened here. And for Primus sake! Don't freak out because of all the dust in the garage! I'll give you a wax later if you behave!" I hiss heading toward my family.
Katie Gibbs here! Ha-ha! I started the second part sooner then I expected!
I'm not really sure how well it came out, and I'm not sure if it would work, but I won't know if it's okay unless you all review and tell me what you all think!
Also! If you have any ideas that you want to suggest tell me and I might put them in! I bid you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
