章 15: Part 10: To save or not save them
=The next day=
(My Pov): 8:34a.m.
Sitting or more like standing perched on the domed building of the Griffin Observatory, I couldn't help but admire its stature, "Primus, it's beautiful." I gasped quietly in awe, while also seeing all the Autobots waiting for Optimus to do his moment and of course, since I'm a fan of the transformers franchise, I stared at their muscular cybertronian forms that I felt breathless but unexpectedly, it earned a familiar Autobot chuckle from behind, and it said, "==Like what you see, sweets?==" I coughed a bit with my blood rushing into my cheeks, 'Damnit I forgot that Jazz was behind me. But really, Jazz? Now, I know caught me staring that everyone's well-built cybertronian bodies...I wish he never flirted in front of me!' Mentally growled, but kept my composure and turn to him by saying, "Please refrain from being flirtatious, I fake my elegant annoyance while grinning like an idiot and replied: "It's really inappropriate to say it in front of a lady. You are making me blush." "==Blush?==" Jazz asked confused, "==Based on what I understand it, is that you show shyness, embarrassment, or shame?=="
I stretched my limbs for a moment and told him, "But to put it simply easier for a cybertronian like you, I'd say you change your faceplate blue when someone is embarrassed or humiliated." I explained. Jazz 'oohed, before he started standing close to me, he shows his servo as if to give me a lift up to his shoulders, I smiled at the offer and accepted before I said anything Jazz lift me up high and I manage to balance myself from falling by holding one of his digits/metal fingers: "Woah, easy I could have fallen from ya, Jazz." He laughed, "So, Jazz. I continue, "Can you tell me something about yourself before joining the Autobot cause?" "==Well, hot stuff, I used to hang out in the club like the rest of the Cybertronian, I'mma DJ. One of the badass ones in Recklon Clubs in all of Cybertron." This caught my interest, I look up at him with my eyes sparkling: "No way, that's so cool! I bet the femmes on your planet loved your Jazzy music~" I teased him, his smile faded, and I panicked, facepalming myself for my stupidity as I apologize to Jazz; Who surprisingly gave me a sad smile, "==It's okay, little dame...but I wouldn't call like that, I do show some cool moves.==" "Yeah, you told me back at the Arcade." I laughed a bit before I avoid his gaze at me, and I got comfortable.
The air changed into a breezy kind while the place just matched the sun rising up to the sky, nothing was changing the plot though. What is the smell that was killing every single one of us, not tension no? What was it? Oh right...it was the suspense. Suspension of knowing whether or not the glasses would function. It is said that it is now life and not art that requires the willing suspension of disbelief. Well, I felt it like it was a new sense of emotion with a sense of deja vu, even so, nothing would be the same, moreover, I figured that's what was filling up the air, no one says anything as if someone had navigated its course from a happy moment to a sour moment of truth, of the fact that Bee wasn't with us, began bothering Ratchet, Ironhide & Jazz, including Optimus Prime himself; He felt guilty for not saving Bumblebee but he told himself that it was the best sacrifice he has ever done to protect the Autobots. Nevertheless, Optimus was doubting himself for doing nothing to protect him, and all the emotions the Prime could ever think of were guilt and hope:
"--Please, let this work.--" Optimus muttered, using his left blue optic with his navigation scanners so he can find the location of the AllSpark, while Jazz stood next to my criss-cross leg sitting position on the right corner of the building, who motions in encouraging gesture at the Thirteenth Prime to show it to them: "==Fire it up, Optimus.==" He said, walking a bit closer behind where Ratchet stood next to his old friend and letting all of us see the revelation of its location right now. However, for me I already know but ain't telling anybody; Sighed stressfully to myself, I listened carefully to everyone's words and scripts from the movie: "--The code. He shows the planet Earth and continues, "--The code on these glasses indicates the AllSpark is 230 miles from here.--" After Optimus used his navigation scanner on Archibald Witwicky's glasses, I can hear the uneasy feeling that Ratchet had felt when we all got here, who he began smelling a bit and looks up to Optimus, "//I sense the Decepticons are getting ready to mobilize.//" He spoke with uncertainty about the situation in the servos of the team, Ironhide grunts at the words, nodding in agreement, and says: "They must know it's here as well."
I watched them and kept silent the entire time, for which I cannot disrupt the movie scene with my voice in here but I felt like I died my voice and my curiosity got the better of me, "We need to come up with a plan to stop them from coming closer to the AllSpark, Ironhide. We don't barge in the location as if it was one of your battles, but we do know for certain that we have to keep moving forward and save Bee." I spoke almost regretful for not telling anyone about what was really going to happen, optics landed on me that I gripped onto Jazz's grip for my shyness kicking in that out of the blue, another voice spoke: "==The Dame is right, Optimus. And what about Bumblebee? We can't just leave him be to be offline and become some kind of human expirement.==" Jazz once again commented about Bee, which I miss his buzzing & beeping noise and also, his big baby blue optics that they could not leave Bumblebee to die at the hands of Sector Seven, to become a human experiment.
"--He'll offline in vain if we don't accomplish our mission.--" Optimus said, as Ratchet placed both his servos on his hips, "--Bumblebee is a brave soldier, this is what he would want.--" He turns around and I rolled my eyes, already pissed off before I could stop myself, it was too late: "It would scar me to death, Optimus. I continue, "If we do not, stop the humans from doing their crazy acts of hurting your son. I would destroy you." "//You sounded as if you hated your own species, Amelia.//" "As a matter of fact, Ratchet, I do. I may be human but that doesn't me I like being one. I rather die right now than live as a human fleshy being." I crossed my arms as I sat on Jazz's servo, as everyone looked stunned at my words that left Optimus speechless and blinked at the 'son' part and the words I talked about my hatred for being a human which, on the other hand, caught Ironhide off guard but kept quiet and sadly met with my brown eyes staring into his optics: "==You okay, Amelia?=="
"I'm perfectly fine, Jazz. Optimus, you may continue on with your speech." I grumbled the last part of my sentence, leaving everyone on edge: "...Then why are we fighting to save those humans? They're a primitive, violent race." While Ironhide continues talking with reason, I began seeing Bumblebee getting tortured that my head started pounding as a truck had run over me, I felt my tears falling from my eyes, the pain was getting to me, I steadied myself from passing out thanks to a lot of practice, as I kept an eye on the team in case they see me like this until I began to dry the tears with my hands before anyone can see them. My breath hitched and felt my palms sweating when Optimus deeply vented, "--Were we so different?...--" He paused before telling us all: "--There are young species, they have much to learn but I have seen goodness in them, freedom is the light 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 inside my chassis.--"
"//That's suicide.// Ratchet spoke all of a sudden, worry in his voicebox: "//The Cube is raw power it could destroy you both.//" "--A necessary sacrifice to bring peace to this planet. We cannot let humans have the same faith to pay for our mistakes...It has been an honor serving you all.--" Optimus strongly held the guilt of not saving the scout he thinks of as his own son, before he hides it with a calm demeanor, I motion Jazz to put me on Optimus's shoulder pad, and he does so as the Leader looked confused but got the hint, he lifts me up to his servo before he spoke: "--Autobots, ROLL OUT!--" Famous quotes for hero/heroine time, I smiled and got in his ALT-MODE before he started reviving his engines again and began inspired by his words, the other Autobots & I rolled out, filled with confidence and determination. And as the words go, " 'Make it, till you make it.' "
