Chapter 16

Nori sat slouch in the chair, staring at the man sitting behind the desk with a glare or a sleepy stare while impatiently drumming the arm rest with her fingers.

Powell smiled at the young woman trying to ignore her rude demeanor “Comfortable?” he asked.

“As comfortable as I’m gonna get.” Nori replied.

“Care for something to drink or eat?” Powell asked again.

“No thanks.” She answered and stopped her drumming, shift in her seat, steeple her fingers together and rest her chin on them “Let’s cut the formalities or whatever it is and get right to it.”

Powell frown at the blue haired girl but smiled again “Well, seeing as how I have taken over Sumdac Tower when Professor Sumdac disappeared…” he paused as Nori let out a fake yawn, Powell coughed “I have called you here to offer you a jo—”

“Not interested.” Nori interrupted.

“Surely you could—”

“No thanks, I already got a job I like doing.”

“Fixing cars? When we have robots to do that?” Powell asked.

Nori shrugged and said “There are a few people who don’t like machines. Me personally, I love machines and I love fixing and building cars.” She glared at him “And no one from Sumdac Tower is going to get me to give that up to help build whatever destructive machinery that they can dream up.”

“Well, I thought that Sumdac Industries needed more… zest. And I’m willing to pay you this amount if you join us.” Powell told her and pushed a paper towards her.

Nori put on a fake smile and didn’t bother to look at the paper “It seems that I’m not getting through to you Mr. Powell… so I’ll put it in words that you could understand. I’m not interested in working here. I do not wish to work here. And I will not work here.” She stood up and headed for the door “Even if you double the paycheck for me.”

“I’ll do that!” exclaimed Powell.

Nori turned and scowls at Powell “You know, this is the reason why I like Professor Sumdac more; at least he took a ‘no’ for an answer when he tried to hire me. Good day Mr. Powell.”

“I’ll triple it!” Powell offered.

Nori threw her arms up in frustration and stepped out the office. She stopped abruptly when she came face to face with Henry Masterson. Nori closed the door behind her and side step Henry.

“Not taking the job?” he asked with a tilt of his head.

“Not interested and will never be interested.” She answered back as she headed for the elevator.

Masterson followed after her “Come on, with your skills you could do wonders for this company. I mean you won that award and patent when you were in middle school.”

“That was a one time thing I did out of sheer boredom.” She told him.

He grabbed her left wrist as she neared the elevator. Nori stared down at his hands with her lips pulled back in snarl.

“Come on Nori, I bet we could do wonders if we work together.” Masterson replied back with a smile.

Nori narrowed her blue eyes and pulled her right hand back.

Sari sighed as she stared at Sumdac Tower.

“You ok Sari?” Bumblebee asked.

“Yeah…” she answered back as she lean out of her friend. Sari squinted as a familiar person stormed out of the building and walked over to a motorcycle.

“Hey Bumblebee?” she asked the yellow mech.

“Yeah Sari?” he replied back.

“Can we drive up to Sumdac Tower?”

“Ah sure… why?” he asked as he drove over to the tower.

“I see someone that I think I recognize.” She answered.

Once the two got to Sumdac Tower, a smile grew on Sari’s face as she watched Nori pull gloves on “Nori!” she called.

Nori whirled to see who had called her with a glare, as she was half way pulling her jacket on. Her face softens at the sight of the eight year old girl “Hey Sari.” She greeted as she pulled her jacket on.

“It’s been a while Nori.” Sari said with a grin.

“Yeah,” agreed Nori “been busy with car shows and among other things.”

Sari’s smile turned into a frown “What are you doing here?”

Nori let loose a sigh and rubbed her eyes “Mr. Powell tried to hire me…” she answered.

Sari’s frown deepened “Did you…?”

Nori chuckled “Sari, if I turned down your father’s offer when he asked two years ago, I would still turn down the offer now… even if it’s from someone completely different.”

Sari nodded and gaze down sadly.

“Sorry to hear about your father…” Nori told the young girl.

“Thanks.” Sari said.

“Where are you staying?” Nori asked with concern etched into her face.

“Oh, I’m staying with some friends. It’s no biggie, they’re happy to take me in until dad’s found.” Sari answered with a smile.

Nori nodded and stared at Bumblebee in deep thought. He squirmed under her stare.

“Well, if you need someone to have girl talk with, you know where I live.” Nori said as she pulled her helmet on.

“Ok.” Sari replied back.

Nori got onto her bike and started it “See you around Sari and good luck finding your father.”

“Thanks Nori.” Sari said and waved as Nori drove off.

“Who’s that?” Bumblebee asked as he drove home.

“That’s Nori London; she won some kind of award/patent thing when she was in middle school five years ago. When she graduated from high school two years ago my dad offered her a job but she politely declined his offer in favor to fixing cars.” Sari answered.

“Fixing cars? Don’t you have robots to do that?” he inquired.

“Yeah, she said she liked doing it the old fashion way, the way her grandfather taught her. Plus there are a few humans that don’t like robots and I think Capt. Fanzone is a regular customer of hers.” Sari said with a chuckle.

“Does Nori hate machines too?” Bumblebee asked as he stopped at a traffic light.

Sari shook her head “She loves machine, she just likes fixing cars… but the weird part is…” Sari trailed off in thought.

“What?” Bumblebee asked.

“A year after she won that award… she had been visiting dad a lot and inquiring about his knowledge in robotic engineering…”

Moonchaser stared down at the yellow metal in his hand and sighed.

“Vat arr you looking at?” random Blitzwing asked.

“N-nothing!” answered Moonchaser as he quickly shoved the armor piece into his arm compartment and shutting it.

Random Blitzwing cackled “You arr lying! I wanna zee!” he said and reached for Moonchaser’s arm.

“Get off me!” Moonchaser replied hotly as he tried to push the triple changer away.

“What are you two doing?” Megatron asked causing Blitzwing to desist his grabbing at the medic’s arm and Moonchaser took that opportunity to shove him to the ground.

“Nothing Lord Megatron.” Moonchaser answered.

“Lugnut. Blitzwing. I want you two to go to Detroit and wreak havoc to bring the Autobots out. Do whatever you wish with them but I want the yellow one brought to me in one piece.” Megatron ordered his two Decepticons.

Blitzwing’s random face changed to his icy one ‘How interesting and vhy arr ve to do zat?”

“Yes Lord Megatron. What do you want with the Autobot brat?” asked Lugnut.

Megatron frown at the Decepticons “You dare to question my order?” he asked with venom in his voice.

“No, my glorious leader, we will do as you ordered.” Lugnut said bowing.

“Lord Megatron?” called Moonchaser.

Megatron turned to his medic “Yes Moonchaser?” he asked.

“Why am I not going as well?” he asked out of curiosity.

“Because you don’t know how these Autobots fight and I’ll need you here in case these two manage to injure the youngling.”

“I see...” Moonchaser mumbled softly.

Megatron turned back to Blitzwing and Lugnut “Go and don’t disappoint me.”

“Yes Lord Megatron.” They both said and left. The Decepticons did not see Moonchaser slip away in one of the mineshafts.

“Again?” Bumblebee wailed after Ratchet told him that he wanted him in the Med Bay to install a firewall.

“Yes Bumblebee.” Ratchet said trying to keep from yelling at the young bot.

“But doc bot! Why do I need a firewall for?” asked Bumblebee.

“To keep you from catching something you wouldn’t like.” retort Ratchet.

“But boss bot and the others didn’t go into the Med Bay for a firewall!” Bumblebee protest.

Optimus Prime, Prowl, Jazz, Sari and Bulkhead all looked up and Ratchet raised an optic ridge at them “Um, actually Bumblebee, we already got the firewall.” Optimus told the young bot.

Bulkhead realize what Prime was saying and joined in “Yeah little buddy, wouldn’t want to catch something terrible.”

“As did I.” added Prowl.

“Really?” Bumblebee asked suspiciously.

The three bots nodded and Sari gazed up at all three “What’s going on?” she asked.

Ratchet shook his head “It’s nothing to worry about Sari.” He said and directed his attention to Bumblebee “come on youngling, let’s get that firewall installed.”

The old medic bot place his hand onto Bumblebee’s back armor and the youngling flinch slightly to the touch, Ratchet noticed but his expression didn’t waver.

“Alert! Alert! Decepticons sighted!” their computer announced and Optimus raced over to it and tapped on the keyboards. Blitzwing and Lugnut appeared on the screen causing chaos and mayhem in Detroit.

“It’s Blitzwing and Lugnut.” Optimus announced.

“Alright! A fight!” Bumblebee said with glee as he raced over to the computer.

“Ratchet, you stay here with Sari.” Optimus ordered.

“Ok.”

“Will you be accompanying us Jazz?” Prowl inquired.

“Of course.” Jazz said with a smile “I’ll just tell Ultra Magnus where I went.”

Optimus nodded “Autobots! Transform and roll out!” he transformed and Bulkhead, Prowl, Jazz and Bumblebee followed.

“Wait Bumblebee!” Ratchet called.

Bumblebee stopped and turned to the red and white mech “What doc bot?” he asked.

“I still need to install the firewall.” He told the young mech.

“…we can do that when I come back. I promise!” he said and drove off.

“No!” Ratchet cried.

“What’s so important about a firewall?” Sari asked with a raised eyebrow.

Ratchet sighed heavily “You wouldn’t understand…” he said and turn his comm. link on “Ultra Magnus sir…”
