Kat POV
Hearing that Sam was selling a few of his grandfather's things, I decided to drop by and see what there was. I had heard of some stories about the man, so I was curious about what he had. I did laugh at the fact that Sam was selling these things to collect money for a car. I rolled my eyes at the thought, I could understand though. I hadn't been in the family that long, but I knew my Uncle Ron was a cheapskate. Of course, this reasoning made sense. Uncle Ron probably wanted Sam to learn some responsibility in saving money up for a car. Since I was gonna pass by their house on my way home, I decided to take that chance to stop by and help out Sam by buying one of his grandfather's items.

I stopped out by the curb, I stared towards the house. It was funny to think I had just been here yesterday. Of course, I didn't have cash at the time and I didn't want to get too excited about the items. So I promised Sam I would come back today, after my afternoon class. I killed my car and got out. Checking I had my keys and wallet, I made my way towards the door. Once at the door, I raised my hand to knock. The door opened before my hand could hit.

Sam was quick to meet me at the door with a smile. I shook my head at his enthusiasm, but followed in after him. He was quick to pull me up the stairs, barely giving me time to say hello to his parents.

We stood in his room, also paired with the storage room of the house. He dug for the items as I stood and watched. He then started to set them out, one by one. I looked over all of them. Though the only one that seemed to even peak my interest was this pair of glasses. I picked up the glasses and looked them over. They seemed to have weird little symbols crystalized on the lenses of the glasses. I raised an eyebrow at the odd symbols, not really sure what they are or what they mean. I look over towards Sam as he pulls out the last handful of items. I chuckled a bit.

"So, how much more money do you need?," I asked. Sam looked over towards me and started to count his fingers.

"About $200," Sam answered. I nodded and showed him the glasses.

"I'll give you $200 for these glasses," I said with a smile. His eyes widened but he then smiled.

"Okay, I'll let you buy them for $200," Sam said. I chuckled a bit as I folded the glasses and then pulled my wallet out.

"Man, these will probably be the most expensive glasses I have gotten. Even more than my own," I said as I pulled out $200 and handed it to Sam, pushing my glasses up after. I tended to have quite a bit of spare money since my new job and luckily I had already paid my bills this month, on top of already gone grocery shopping for this week. Sam wore a cocky smile as he put the money up.

"Well, I must sell it cheaply to ya. You're a college student after all," Sam jokingly said. I chuckled, putting the glasses down, and reached over to him. He tried to dodge me, but I was able to grab the back of his shirt and pull him back into my grip. He fought me as I gave him a noogie.

"Yeah, let's skip the part about me being family," I said with a chuckle, tightening my grip on him as he tried to get away, " we may not be blood related, but you are still my little cousin."

"Uncle, uncle," Sam called out. I laughed a little bit and then let him go.

"Why do you do it so hard?," Sam said as he looked at me, trying to fix his hair. I shrug as I reach for the glasses and put them into my hoodie pocket. I walked over past him, he ducked away from me. I chuckled a bit and then sat down on his bed. Sam looked at me and then joined me on his bed.

"So how is your school project coming along?," I asked. Sam groaned a bit, I chuckled. I knew that feeling, I never really like school projects that much either.

"Just think about it. You're almost finished with high school. Just one more year," I said, sending him a cheeky smile. He looked at me and sighed and then looked off out the window. I smiled a bit, leaning back more on his bed.

"I remember when you were in middle school. You swore you would grow taller than me, before running back towards your parents," I teased at him. Sam was quick to look back at me.

"What?," Sam questioned. I smiled back at him.

"The first time I met you was at my step-father and mother's marriage. You were in middle school and I had just graduated high school. You came running up to me, shouting 'you can't always pick on me, someday I will be taller than you.' Only for you to run back to your parents after that," I said with a chuckle at the memory, " You still have a few more years, and those inches don't seem to be appearing." Sam hummed.

"I came running up to you like that because you kept calling me shorty. Also there isn't much difference between our heights," Sam commented, seeming done with my jests.

"I tend to call people shorter and younger than me shorty. It's a habit that won't go away," I said with a smile, "also I will hold those few centimeters above your head along as it pisses you off." I took notice to the sun setting outside the window.

"Welp, it seems that it is time for me to leave," I said, as I got up off Sam's bed. I turned towards him and ruffled his head before quickly heading out of his room.

"Hey," I heard Sam yell after me as I went down the stairs. I hear his footsteps coming down after me. I turn and almost watch him eat the rest of the staircase.

"Oh, are you heading home already?," I hear my Aunt Judy ask me from behind. I look towards her and smile and nod. She quickly walked back into the kitchen. Sam catches up and goes to say something, but his mother interrupts.

"Here. Take this," Aunt Judy says as she shoves a Tupperware box into my hands. I look down at the box and see that it holds some leftovers. I shook my head at my aunt, only for her to nod and give me a look. I sighed and then looked back towards Sam for help. He shakes his head.

"You don't have to give me this," I said towards my Aunt. She shook her head.

"No. You are taking the box," she said, giving me a slight glare, "if you take the box I will know that you have something to eat tonight. Eat it with joy because it was made with my love." She said the last part with a smile and even did a heart motion with her fingers. I rolled my eyes, but nodded.

"Okay, I'll take the box," I said, cracking a small smile. I wave at them, and head towards the front door. I took notice to Uncle Ron who was watching TV on the couch.

"Night, Uncle Ron," I said as I opened the door. I heard him mumble a small 'good night, Kat' as I went out the door. Once out the door, my smile dropped. I was so tired, I walk down the sidewalk and make it to my car. I pulled out my keys and unlocked the door. I turn to get in the car and see Sam waving at me from the house. I wave once more, before sliding into the car. I place the Tupperware on the passenger seat, as I close my door and then slip on my seatbelt. I sighed as I started my car. I then smiled.

"Time to go see my babies," I said with a chuckle, as I drove down to my house.

Narrator POV

"Before time began, there was the cube. We know not where it comes from, only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life. That is how our race was born. For a time we lived in harmony, but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war. A war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death. And the cube was lost to the far ridges of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home. Searching every star, every world, and just when all hope seemed lost. Message of a new discovery, drew us to an unknown planet called Earth.

But we were already too late."

An Osprey flies over the desert in Qatar to land at an army base. The group inside talk about their lives before they joined and what they hope their lives will be like after they go home. As the Osprey lands at the base the crew exit to go do little activities before the night falls. We see people have fun and enjoying themselves in the limited activities they are given.

We are then given a lowered down shot of a helicopter making its way towards the base. Then brought back to the base to find out that the copter is unknown and is not wanting to talk. The helicopter continues toward the base, not faltering by the constant warnings of being in an area it shouldn't. Two raptors are sent out to identify the copter, only for the base to find out it was a copter that had been shot down 3 months before in Afghanistan. The copter is then escorted to the base.

We are then brought to a shot where the leader of the crew on the Osprey is in a video call to his wife and baby daughter.

We are then brought back over to see the unknown helicopter land, and be surrounded by army vehicles. We are then shown that after the copter landed, the base was starting to have some technical difficulties, from the radar being jammed to the crew leader having a hard time communicating to his wife. There then seems to be more caution at the base, as more men are sent out to keep an eye on the unknown helicopter.

The helicopter is told to power down, and it seems to be doing so, but then there is an odd sound that rings out. The copter slowly begins to breakdown(hehe) and transform into a robotic humanoid being. As it changes, the men surrounding it let out all the machine power that they have. Panic seems to have gripped the people as the unknown being returns the fire back, but stronger. Sending back both the humans and their vehicles. The being then sends out a radio length that breaks all the glass in the area, causing people to duck for cover.

The giant robot starts to walk through the base, blowing up everything it sees, not leaving anything behind. It then goes to a nearby building ripping the roof off and grabbing the database center and attaching itself to it. The giant being seems to be looking for something. A soldier is shown having difficulty with trying to cut the hard wire to the database, one of the superiors comes in and takes an ax and chops at the wire.(omg, I just realized, I think Soundwave in TFP referenced this at a point)

We are then shown the chaos that is ensuing throughout the army base, as the main crew run with the young local boy trying to get out of the area. We then witness 4 soldiers get crushed by an army tank.(it would be cool if someone did a death count on these movies)

One of the crew's members gets knocked over by the giant being, as he goes to get away, he snaps a picture of the giant being. It seems to notice, as it looks down and sees the image that was taken of it. It then brings out the gun in its chest to shoot the soldier while snapping a picture of the soldier as he runs away. The giant is then blinded by one of the other crew members and other destruction going on that he loses the crew.

Though that doesn't seem to be a problem as he releases another robotic being out of its back to follow after the crew. As the giant being finally goes around and finishes off the base. Destroy all that is left of it and all who were in it.

I wake up to my face being licked. I groaned as I pushed off my dog Misha.
“Oh, god. Your breath stinks,” I comment as Misha tilts her head at me. I chuckle a bit. I look over at my clock and see that it is an hour until my alarm goes off.
“Huh? Why did you wake me up so early?,” I asked Misha. She tilted her head once more and then turned and left the room. I quickly get up and follow after her. Maybe she had to go potty. Sure enough Misha sat in front of the glass door. I opened the door and Misha ran right out. Cerberus hearing the glass door open also bolted right out the door. I could even hear the bells on my cats as they walked up to the door and followed after the dogs. I shook my head at my animals. I guess, since I was awake so early I could make breakfast before my morning classes. I make my way towards the kitchen, and before I made my breakfast I poured out food for the animals first.

I went to feed my cats and dogs their lunch. I had just finished my morning classes. They were boring as ever. Why did I need to take Federal Government again? At least this teacher was amusing, still didn’t like the subject. I wondered what I should have for my lunch. I decided as I pondered that I would turn on one of my movies. I walked over to the display of all of my movies. Predator caught my eye, and I grabbed the dvd and put the movie on. As it began to play, I walked back towards the kitchen with the remote to the dvd player. I looked around the kitchen and finally got an idea of what I would have for lunch.
The homemade chicken nuggets and fries were finally finished. I placed them on one of my plates and walked towards the couch. As I ate, I watched as Arnold’s character outsmarted the Yautja, blowing the alien to bits. I felt something brush my leg and took notice of Misha giving me the puppy eyes. I sighed at the dog and gave her a nugget. I looked back up at the movie and sighed once more. Most movies with aliens did that. No matter how strong or smart the aliens were, the humans always seemed to out smart them. I watched the rest of the movie and once the credits rolled I got up. I washed my dishes and went back towards the dvd player to pull out the movie. I looked towards the kitchen once more and looked at the clock on the stove. I had two hours until I had to go to my afternoon classes.
Morning online classes were horrible, but at least I had a lab class as my afternoon classes. Lab classes have honestly become my favorite cause I get to be hands-on, and well, I rather be hands-on with lab experiments than writing notes after notes after notes. I mean, that's why my first degree was robotics, I liked being hands on. Though I stopped building the little robots cause it didn't sit right with my soul. The little robots felt like they were missing something. Or maybe I was missing something.
My self doubt thoughts were put to a stop when I heard my phone go off. I quickly make my way over to my phone and I see Sam's number pop up. I wonder why he is calling. I shrug and answer the phone, only to be greeted with an excited Sam shouting in my ear that he finally has a car. I had to remove the phone from my ear, as he was so loud that my dogs looked up in confusion.
"Well, shorty, it's nice to know you have a car now, but can you tone it down a little," I said with a small laugh.
He groaned at the overused nickname, "well, as I was saying before, I got a car and I was wondering if you would like to come see it. It's old and cheap cause you know my dad, but it still works. And well I'm going to a party soon so if you want to see it, you gotta come and see it now."
I laughed, "okay, okay, I'll be there soon. I was about to head out to my lab classes early anyway, so see you soon."
"Okay, see you Kat," he grumbled, probably still upset at the use of the nickname shorty. I smiled and hung up the phone and turned to look at my living room and out the sliding glass door. I quickly turned towards the tupperware that was on the drying rag right next to my sink. I was still a little hungry and I had a while before my classes. I guess snack making was in order and then I would head over to my aunt and uncle’s house. I wonder what car did uncle Ron allow Sam to get. I laughed at the thought, it most likely was an old car. Well, if it worked, it was better than nothing. I headed towards my kitchen and got to preparing my snack.

Chapter Text

Narrator POV
We are shown a shot of Washington, D.C. The camera follows a helicopter making its way towards the pentagon. We are then shown a room full of people who seem to be waiting for someone's presence to appear. It seems that the person they were waiting for was the Secretary of Defense. The Secretary of Defense begins to talk to the group of people.

"Obviously, you're wondering why you are here, so these are the facts. At 1900 local time yesterday. The SOCCENT Forward Operations Base in Qatar was attacked. So far as we know, there were no survivors. The objective of the attack was to hack our military network. We're not sure exactly what they're after, but we do know that they were cut off during the assault. Which would lead us to assume they're going to try it again. Now, no one has taken responsibility for the attack. And the only real lead we have so far is this sound." An odd and unrecognizable almost screech is played.
"That's the signal that hacked our network. NSAs are working at full capacity to analyze it and intercept further communications, but we need your help to find out who did this. Now, you've all shown considerable ability in the area of signals analysis. We're on a hair-trigger here, people. The president has dispatched battle groups to the Arabian Gulf and Yellow Sea. This is as real as it's ever gonna get. Now I'm gonna leave you to your officer-in-charge. You'll break you into teams and you'll start your work. Good luck to us all."

Kat POV
I pull up to my aunt and uncle's house, and park out front. I picked up the Tupperware and my bag and made my way over to the driveway. Getting a good view of the car that Sam had been given. It seemed to be an old Camaro. It looked pretty dusty though and the paint was a bit faded.
"Oh, wow, you weren't kidding," I said looking at the car that was now Sam's.
"You thought I was kidding?!," Sam said, acting shocked.
"Well, nothing that a good old wash and new paint can't fix, I guess that will be your next trip with me," I said, flashing a smile at Sam. I lean through the open window into the car to see the interior.
"Seats are good, no rips. Might need to wipe down the inside, but other than that it's a good car. Also cute dash danglers," I commented after seeing the bee and disco ball danglers hanging on the rear view mirror.
"Thanks car inspector, also the danglers came with the car," Sam commented. I also swear I heard the radio thank me too, huh. I hear Sam groan about the radio though.
"Oh, you brought the Tupperware back?," Sam asked.
"Yeah, though it has a snack in it. You want some?," I said. He nodded and I opened the Tupperware and Sam grabbed one of the sandwiches. We stood there for a few minutes chatting as if I didn't come here everyday. Sam realized that he needed to get ready for the party, so we then both turned to go inside. I decided to take the newly formed path, while Sam took the grass. As I continued to walk, I heard his dad yell at him for being on the grass. I laughed a small bit and continued inside.
I could hear him pacing back and forth. I rolled my eyes at his foolishness as I continued to eat my lunch. I grab some of my notes and homework out of my bag. I mean, this homework isn't going to do itself, I wish it would though. Though Sam's rambling started to gain my attention more than my college work. It sounds like he is trying to fulfill his lifetime's wish. I laughed a small bit. "He now has the car, he's just got to find the girl, but he's too broke to take the girl anywhere," slightly mocking what I heard him say, under my breath. I took another bite out of my sandwich, I could also hear him practicing his lines, and jeez did he need to work on them. Well, at least he is self aware. I finally finish my snack and make my way towards the bottom of the stairs.
"If you need a little extra cash, you can just ask!," I shout up the stairs.
"Really?!," I heard him ask.
"Yeah, it just depends on how much you want," I shouted back.
"Just $30 should be all I need," he said, quickly running down the stairs and rushing to my side.
"Well today's your lucky day, I have at least $30 in my pocket," I said as I pulled my wallet out, "now don't go buying any drugs now, kid."
I chuckled a bit, while he rolled his eyes, "don't plan on it old woman." I tapped him in the back of the head before he could run off.
"Don't forget Mojo's meds!," I called out to him.
"Shit," I hear him mutter.

I followed after Sam and waved him goodbye before heading back towards the house. I made it to the porch in time to hear Aunt Judy comment about how her husband was cheap, whenever Sam's car left black smoke as he drove away. I mean she's not wrong, but also Uncle Ron didn't do too bad. The car still runs and it wasn't that expensive. I mean, I still drive my car from high school. I'm 27 years old and the car still runs well and it was a hand me down car. I think it would make the car 22 years old. Even my step-father wanted to get me a new car. I declined, saying that I didn’t want to let my car go, unless it literally stops working and it can’t be fixed. I stopped my thought, I needed to hurry up and head to class.
I cleaned the Tupperware in the sink and dried it off with one of the rags. I quickly place it back where it belongs and walk back towards the table. I grabbed my stuff and started towards my car. I decided I would go and acknowledge my aunt and uncle before I leave, so I went through the backdoor. Staying on the path I walk towards them.
"Oh, Kat, when did you get here?," Uncle Ron asked.
"Oh my god Ron. She's been here for at least 20 minutes. She was talking to Sam earlier. You even used her as an example for staying on the path," Aunt Judy jabbed at Uncle Ron.
"Oh, yeah, I did do that, didn't I," dazedly said Uncle Ron.
"Yeah you did. Anyways I just wanted to say bye before I leave," I said with a small smile.
"I swear your visits are getting shorter and shorter," cried Aunt Judy.
"I try to come when I have free time. My time is mostly taken up by classes, my job, and taking care of my animals. I will be graduating soon though. So I might have a little more free time then," I said, trying to reassure her.
"That's good, maybe we will be able to have some girl time then," She said with a smile. I laughed a little bit as I continued to my car. I’m not one for shopping, but if I don’t go with aunt Judy she’ll pick something weird out again to give to me. My mom used to do the same thing, and it has been a while since I actually saw my mom. She would call every now and then, but the last time I actually have seen her was when I was moving out of the house after I graduated. Since I was out of the house, my mom sold my childhood home and she and my step-father are now taking trips around the world. I knew she always wanted to do that, but she promised she would wait for me. I stopped once I reached my car.
“Yeah, a shopping trip doesn’t sound too bad,” I said quietly. I unlocked my car and sat in the seat. Anyways, I do hope Sam has fun at his little lake party. Cause I for sure was gonna have fun at my lab classes in a few minutes.

Narrator POV
"At this time, we can't confirm whether there were any survivors"
We are brought back to see the survivors of the Qatar attack. They are sitting down to rest at an old tank, talking about the giant robot. One of the members makes a comment on how they don't believe it's truly over. And well, sadly for them, he is in fact correct as the next shot takes you to a sand dune and you can see the sand move as if there is something under it.
"When I took that picture, I think it saw me. It looked right at me," red hat soldier said.

Cue the cringey scene of Sam picking up his best friend and going to the lake party. As he was trying to impress Mikaela and take his shot which causes him to leave his friend behind at the lake.(not too disappointed in this, I really wanted to knock the light out on his friend when he said 'bros before hoes') Bumblebee doing his best at being a wingman. Mikaela shows that she knows a lot about cars.(pretty awesome honestly, also if your masculinity is threatened by a girl who knows more about cars then you do, do us a favor and jump off a bridge.) And Sam doing his awkward mating call to show Mikaela that he is in fact worth dating, before finally dropping her off at her house.

Kat POV
I was flipping through the channels to see if there was anything worth watching. I instead come across the news as they speak about a base that was attacked in Qatar. That honestly had to suck for the families who loved ones had died. I sighed a bit as I continued to flick through the channels before finally turning off the TV. There really was nothing interesting. I laid my head on the back of the couch and looked at the ceiling. I had nothing important to do today. As I continue to look at the ceiling, I feel something brush against my legs. I look down to see my black cat, Void.
"Hello to you too, Void. How's my blind baby doing? You haven't run into a wall today yet?," I asked questions that obviously would not be answered. Void meowed at me and rubbed his head up against my leg again. I looked back towards the TV.
"I think I'm gonna start Predator 2," I muttered as I stood up to go get the movie. As I walk over to the movies, the glasses that I bought from Sam catch my eye, they are placed upon the shelf above my movies. Weird little chrysalis symbols embedded in them. I reach for the glasses and bring them close to my face. I can’t really make out the symbols in the glasses. Maybe I can take them to my college’s lab and look at the symbols under the microscopes we have.
I hear my phone buzz. I wonder who would be texting me at this hour. It was too early in the morning to be any of my friends or classmates. I placed the glasses back where I had them and headed towards my phone. I looked at what was new. I realized the text was from an unknown number.
‘You look pretty nice.’ the message said. I groaned a bit and put my phone down. ‘This again,’ I thought as I went back to getting my movie. Some weirdo trying to pull a prank on me, yeah, that wasn’t gonna happen. I put the cd into the player and walked to the kitchen to make some popcorn. Once the popcorn was done I took out a bowl and poured the popcorn in. I grab some of the popcorn salt out and sprinkle a bit on the popcorn. I then grabbed out a can of Root Beer from the fridge and grabbed my popcorn and walked into the living room. I sit on the couch, grabbing the remote and skip the last few ads and quickly play the movie.
"Movie time baby," I mumbled under my breath, as I grabbed a handful of popcorn and took a swig of Root Beer. Time to criticize this movie.

Narrator POV
Once again we are brought back to the pentagon. We're the NSAs are all trying to analyze and decode the signal that broke into the military network. Bickering going back and forth on which country did it. From Iran to China. We are then shown Air Force One(I kind of wonder if they asked to use the actual plane for this or not...) .
"We will hunt down this enemy, and when we find them, we will know what to do with them."(heh, no the fuck you will not... you in fact will be utterly shocked when you find them...)

We are then shown a shot where it slowly closes in on Frenzy who is under the seat of someone. As Frenzy slowly sneaks into storage, walking past a heavy sleeper of a man, making his way toward the elevator to take him down, he almost gets caught by one of the stewardesses, but is lucky to transform back into his radio form before being caught.(heh, just like his father in the G1 series... :,)) The stewardess then picks him up and puts him on a little table as she walks to get the ding dongs that the president wanted, Frenzy then starts to move. Though the stewardess drops the ding dong and Frenzy almost gets caught, luckily she is oblivious to the little robot. When she finally leaves, he gets back to the mission he had at hand. Making his way towards the data frame he starts the process of opening the data frame, though he gets distracted by the laugh of a woman, he quickly gets back to work and plugs himself in.
Unfortunately one of the NSAs, Maggie, catches his hacking. Though he has finally reached the thing that they were truly looking for and starts to shut down the whole system. Maggie finally informs the rest of the room that someone is hacking into Air Force One. Air Force One is informed, secret service agents make their way down to storage to find the hacker.

Maggie informs that it is best to cut the hard lines. Frenzy is stopped from downloading the files he needed and hits his head against the screen in anger.
We are then shown the secret agents as they finally made it to storage and are prepared for a shoot out. One of the agents notices the database has been tampered with and informs the others. Seeing as there are only two humans in front of him, Frenzy attacks and kills both.
Agents move in front of the president's door to protect him from the intruder.
Frenzy, checking to see if the humans are really dead, gets shot by another agent, in which he fires back and kills another human. More agents come, missing Frenzy as he has transformed back into his radio form. We cut back to the Secretary of Defense as he and a few others walked down the hallway with urgency. He is talking about how the first and only priority is that the president is immediately taken to the bunker. The shot then cuts to Barricade slowly pulling up beside Air Force One to pick up Frenzy. Frenzy somehow makes it out of the plane and to Barricade without getting noticed.(and this shows how we as humans can be pretty ignorant of our surroundings)
Frenzy then curses at the humans saying, "Stupid insects tried to shoot me," then continues on saying, "found a clue to the all spark. Witwicky man, he has seen our language. Witwicky search." Coming across the eBay page for the glasses that Sam had forgotten to take off when Kat bought the glasses from him.
Frenzy says, "We must find Ladiesman317." Frenzy then is able to pull up Sam's address from the eBay page and Barricade drives off to the location.

Narrator POV
Bumblebee starts himself, causing Sam to awaken. Sam, thinking someone was hot wiring and stealing his car, goes into a panic. He quickly runs around grabbing a jacket and running out to his bike. He tells his father to call the cops. He then starts pedaling after the 'stolen' car. As he is doing so, he calls 911 himself and starts talking(if you can even call it that) to them. Bumblebee heads into a train yard, and Sam follows after still believing his car was stolen. A train cuts Sam off, causing him to come in a little while after Bee. He then sees Bee, fully transformed into his robotic humanoid form, as Bee starts to make a signal for the other Autobots.

Sam, in utter shock that his car is not normal, starts to make a will and death letter.(over dramatic much...) As Sam tries to hurry away, he is spotted by the two guard dogs of the train yard.

The dogs chains break from the wall causing them to chase Sam even farther.(how, how can someone fuck up that bad) Sam in attempt to keep himself away from the dogs, runs into a silo and on top of a barrel placed in the middle of the silo. In an attempt to save Sam, Bee circles around the barrel Sam is standing on, to scare the dogs away. Sam, believing he is gonna die, throws the keys at Bee and runs. Sam is then greeted by a cop car as he exits the silo, they then take him in.

Chapter Text

Kat POV
I had to do a bit of overtime today. I came home 2 hours later than I usually do. At least I would get paid for it. I took my bag back into my room and went to take a shower.
I decided that I would watch a movie before I went to sleep tonight. I had no work or classes tomorrow anyways. I looked at my selection of movies in front of me as I dried my hair. Daredevil looks like a good choice, I pulled the cd out and put it into the player. I turn to the couch to see that Misha and Cerberus have taken their spots. I laughed a bit and headed towards the kitchen to make myself some dinner. I really didn’t feel like cooking, so I made myself some crackers.
I checked the food bowls and filled the empty ones. I then hear a certain ping ring down the hallway from my office. I sighed a bit as I took a bite into my first cracker. I walked down the hallway towards my office and then walked up to my laptop.

'Military network was hacked again. This time from Air Force One.' - BunnyDynamite

‘Wow, again?’ I thought as I unplugged my laptop and moved back towards the kitchen. As I make it into the kitchen, I hear the sound of yelling. I’m not sure who it was, but all I know is that I don’t feel like being part of a horror movie tonight. Good luck to that person. Another ping.

'Seriously, what was it this time?' - Raindrop

It’s not shocking to see that Rain was the first to reply. They have insomnia, so they probably were already awake. Another ping.

'Same thing. The same noise hacked the Air Force One flight. But this time it was under a minute. They also tried to implant a virus at the same time. It got so bad that this one girl said it was best to cut the hard lines.' - BunnyDynamite

Wow, that was really something. I chuckled a bit as I typed back.

'Sounds like your firewall has gotten pretty sucky' - Katlikeshetalia

I turned around and went to make a kettle of hot water. Forget about my movie, I think this conversation is interesting enough. Another ping.

'Yeah, what Kat said. Or well, typed' - GayFurryGamer

I rolled my eyes as I walked away from my laptop to turn the TV and player back off. As I made my way back into the kitchen, I could hear the kettle start to whistle so I pulled it off the burner and prepared the mug it would go in. And finally finished making my hot chocolate. Only to hear 4 more pings go off.

‘The interesting thing is that the language doesn’t seem to be any languages known on earth.’ - BunnyDynamite

‘So aliens?’ - GayFurryGamer

‘Aliens?’ - PrettyPotato

‘So secret language or aliens?’ - Raindrop

I laughed a bit. ‘Aliens, huh. That would be nice.’ I thought as I grabbed my laptop in one hand and held my Hot Chocolate in the other and made my way down the hall towards my office. I have a feeling it is gonna be a long night.

Narrator POV
We follow the SoD and others down as they head towards a conference room. They talk about the recent hack and how it finally broke through and got what it wanted. The problem is that they don't know what it wants. They are also reinforced to figure out how to deal with the virus that was planted. Maggie is walking by and hears the discussion, inviting herself into the room and stays silent until.
"The only countries with this kind of capability are Russia, North Korea, and maybe China."
Maggie then butts in, I guess in hopes to help, by saying, "I'm sorry, that's not correct." She is then questioned.
Only for her to reply, "I'm just the analyst who detected the hack." A man tries to escort her out of the room, only for the SoD to acknowledge her and question.
"Sir, I was just trying to say they hacked your firewall in 10 seconds. Okay. Even a supercomputer with a brute force attack would take 20 years to do that. The signal pattern is learning. It's evolving on its own. And you need to move past Fourier transfers and start considering quantum mechanics." She is once again questioned, causing her to say, "what about an organism? Maybe some kind of DNA-based computer? And I know that sounds crazy..." She is then cut off and escorted out of the room. (I'm gonna skip the police office scene, cause I can...)

Narrator POV
The survivors reach the top of a dune. There is a large sign and well here. Scorponok comes up upon them and hits one of the legs of the sign, causing it to pull up from and ground and fall over. The sign barely falls short of one of the soldiers. The leader is almost stabbed in the back by Scorponok's tail, but the unsheathe of the blade draws attention to it. This causes the group to panic. They start to shoot at Scorponok and in turn one of them doesn't get so lucky, and is stabbed through the back and pulled under by Scorponok. They start to run towards the town, as Scorponok chases after them. They end up leading Scorponok into the outskirts of the town, and they continue to shoot at him to keep him at bay. The local boy, leading the leader of the crew, tries to call for help. And has a 'fun' time with the phone company. They finally make it through and talk to the people at the Pentagon. The battle continues on with Scorponok getting shot at from above. They are finally able to get Scoroponok to retreat into the ground. The end of Scorponok's tail is left behind. One of the crew's men was badly hurt, the scene ends with a helicopter coming down to pick up the team.
We are then brought back to Maggie as she sneakily makes a copy of the signal that hacked the military system, and puts it in her makeup powder. Catching a taxi and taking it to a house. She makes her way into the house to show the signal to her friend. He is able to decode it enough to get, "Project IceMan, Sector 7, and Captain Witwicky." Though back at the Pentagon, they noticed that she copied the signal and the house they were in was raided by the FBI. Taking down Maggie, her friend, the friend's cousin, and grandma.

Kat POV
I sighed as I drove over to my aunt and uncle's house. I can’t believe I forgot my fucking notes over at my aunt and uncle’s house. I was gonna have to run by their house to pick it up before my classes started. Of course the one time that I actually had to come in for one of my classes, is the one time I leave my notes somewhere. I had called my aunt before heading over. She told me they weren’t home, but Sam was. She also told me about Sam getting arrested. Something about his car getting stolen and him trespassing. What in the world? It was a little weird. Nothing about his car was too special, who would steal a car like his? So I wasn’t too shocked to see that Sam’s car was gone. I parked my car on the street and got out. I left my car running cause it would be just a quick run in and out. I make my way up to the door, though before I can knock I hear the rumble of an engine. I look over to see Sam’s car.
“What in the world?,” I say out loud. I tilt my head at the car. I thought it got stolen. Why was it here now? Before I could make my way towards the car, I heard the front door open. I almost get run over by Sam, who had his mother's bike, as he ran out the door. I was quick to move out of the way.
“What the hell, Sam!?,” I yell at him., “Why are you like this!?”
“Alien car, my car seems to be an alien and I think it is here to get me," he said as he rushed past me with his mom's bike and started down the sidewalk as fast as he could petal. I stood there awestruck.
“What?,” I quietly say. I look over towards his car and see the door open. I was pretty confused, aliens were real? That question was quickly given an answer when I saw that no one was in the driver seat of the car. I shook my head, I had no time for this right now.
Continuing to shake my head, “No thanks. I have classes later. Just go get Sam.,” I said. I watched as the door closed and the car was quick to back up and follow after Sam down the sidewalk. Looks like that alien will need to be taught the rules of cars. Driving on the sidewalk was pretty suspicious and the alien could get pulled over. If they even knew to do that, hopefully. I walked into the house that Sam stupidly left open. I guess I’ll lock the doors when I leave. I chuckled at the thought of Sam being so scared he pisses his pants. It wouldn’t be the first time. I grabbed my journal and went looking for Mojo. Only to find the dog licking up spilt milk. I sighed at the irresponsible Sam. I took a bit of my time to clean up the spilt milk. I noticed that Sam’s Ebay page was still up. I noticed that the glasses were still up for auction. I rolled my eyes at his forgetfulness and listed the glasses as sold. I sighed and logged out of the computer and turned it off. I made sure Mojo was fed and went to leave. Making sure I still had my journal, I slid into the driver’s seat of my car.
“Alien car. Huh. Sounds like Sam has a lot in his hands,” I said as I busted into laughter. I laughed at the irony. Out of all the people who ended up with responsibility for an alien, it just had to be the irresponsible Sam. I didn’t know if I should pray to whoever was in the sky for Sam or the alien.
“Shit, I forgot to lock their door,” I say as I quickly run back and lock the front door. I sighed once I was back in my car.
“Why just Sam though? I kind of wish my life would be that eventful,” I said as I drive off. I had to make it to my classes on time. I hoped I wouldn’t be late.

Chapter Text

Narrator POV
Drama ensues as the yellow and black car chases after the male human on the pink bike.(Beautiful day in the neighborhood today, huh. Like who doesn't see this car going after a screaming man and not call the cops?...I mean the car was on the sidewalk for goodness sake) The man is so focused on getting away that he fails to notice the slightly uneven part of the sidewalk and because of that, he landed right on his back in front of his crush, Mikaela.(romance movies, am I right...) He quickly tries to compose himself, and wave it off and fails miserably. (Cause honestly that had to fucking hurt) He is asked by Mikaela if he is alright. He admits that he is in fact not okay. Then immediately picks up the bike and starts pedaling fast once more so he can keep the distance between him and the car.(cause you can totally outrun a car, dumbass...)

Mikaela, catching interest, gets on her moped and follows after Sam. Mikaela is shown to almost run into Barricade.

Sam then pedals into a dirty underpass, to lose Bumblebee. A cop car then pulls up, Sam believing he was saved, quickly pedals over to the cop car. He goes to go beside the driver side of the cop car, but the door slams open sending him back and causes him to hit the ground face first. Sam, not getting the message, quickly gets back up and tries talking to the officer, hitting the front of the car. The police car goes forward almost running over Sam. Sam puts his feet on the bumper of the car causing him to get slid forward a couple of times as Sam continues to yell towards the cop. Apologizing for hitting the car. The car continues to push forward trying to get Sam. The car's headlights come forward, almost seeming like they are reaching out to grab Sam. Sam then calls out asking what the car wants. The headlights track back into the car. Sam seems relieved, only for the police car to then completely transform into a Decepticon, Barricade,(loses the 'good' one to get the 'bad' one, good job dumbass...) this causes Sam to freak out and start running. He is able to run for a good few seconds, before Barricade catches up and kicks him into the windshield of another car. Barricade starts questioning Sam. If it can really be called questioning.... Sam then takes a chance and runs away from Barricade.

Mikaela is driving down the road. She then turns into the underpass that Sam went into. Sam then stops Mikaela from running into Barricade. Mikaela yells at Sam for being an ass. Only for him to point out Barricade that was following him. She looks at the con in shock. Bumblebee then slides in and 'breaks' Barricade's ankles. Bumblebee then slides enough to be beside Sam and Mikaela, and pops the door open. Mikaela then starts to question what is happening, only for Sam to tell her to trust the yellow car. The both of them quickly get into Bumblebee and Bee quickly drives off. Barricade getting up from getting knocked down transforms back and follows after Bee.

It then breaks out into a chase scene between Bumblebee and Barricade that lasts until the sun goes down. Mikaela freaking out and Sam trying to calm her down. Well, until Bee goes to break through a stained glass window, and then Sam freaks out along with Mikaela. They kind of lose Barricade, causing Bumblebee to hide out in a small alleyway. Barricade makes his way back around, and Bumblebee is having a hard time starting himself. He is luckily able to start himself, which makes him able to get past Barricade and let Sam and Mikaela out before he starts fighting Barricade. Bumblebee is able to transform and get into a fighting position to fight Barricade. Barricade speeds up and transforms midway, shooting himself into Bumblebee. Barricade being occupied by Bumblebee, let's lose Frenzy to get Sam. Frenzy is able to get a hold of Sam's jeans and pulls him to the ground. Sam starts panicking and trying to kick the smaller con. Frenzy ends up starting to pull Sam's pants off, which causes Sam to kick Frenzy off of him and get away from the con for a small bit. Frenzy is able to tackle Sam into a ditch, causing Sam to probably scratch his legs up on the small fence before the ditch. Frenzy is able to get on Sam's back and start attacking from there. Sam grabs ahold of the con and yanks him off his back. Frenzy not likening that comes back even harder and is able to pin Sam up against the fence. Mikaela comes running down with a reciprocating saw, and starts attacking Frenzy with it. Cutting Frenzy's arms off first. She hits him enough to where Frenzy's head is completely detached to his body. Sam gets cocky and kicks Frenzy's head, causing it to go flying.

Sam and Mikaela make their way over to where Bumblebee and Barricade were fighting, only to see Bumblebee make his way over to them after winning the fight with Barricade. Mikaela and Sam bicker back and forth. Bee standing at the top of the hill looking victorious. Sam and Mikaela try to figure out what Bumblebee is and why he is there. They are able to get the basics down and Bumblebee transforms and offers them to get in. They make their way towards him and get in. They drive over to retrieve Mikaela's stuff. Luckily Frenzy is able to turn into Mikaela's phone without them realizing. Mikaela then gets back in Bumblebee and drives off leaving Barricade down and out.

Kat POV
I was on my way home from my lab classes. It felt like it got dark quicker. Then again I always stay pretty late in the lab. I usually don’t leave until I am kicked out. I chuckled a bit at the professor’s face. They were happy I like these classes, but they liked the idea of going home. I guess I could agree with that, though I really didn’t want to go home right now. So I decided to get some food and drive around for a bit. I was taken aback by a car racing by me and a cop car not too far behind. Huh, that car kind of looked like Sam’s. I didn’t think to much as I continued to drive on.
“Wait, that car was Sam’s car,” I said out loud when I realized that it was Sam in the front seat. I quick do a u-turn and go down the road that I had seen the cars go down. Why was Sam letting the Alien car run from a police car? You aren’t supposed to do that. He thought he had a hard time in the police station before, if he gets pulled over now, Sam is in for some heat. I sighed once more. I didn’t know how I was gonna get him out of this one. He usually looked to me for some help. Though what he has done in the past days have not been the greatest. I looked at the clock in my car. I had a flight to catch at midnight. So I had about 5 hours to get home and grab my stuff and then head to the airport. I chuckled a bit at the fact that I almost imminently gave up on Sam. I went to turn around and head back home, only for me to hear metal on metal contact. That imminently had me head back the way I was heading. Sam didn’t just cause a wreck did he? I thought as I went towards the sound. I hear the sound repeat quite a few times. What was going on?
I made it to the area that I heard the noises at. Only to see Sam and some girl get into Sam’s car. Huh? I watched them drive off. I sat there in shock. What had happened? I did notice that one of the buildings, near where they drove off from, was destroyed. I drove my car into the yard, oh I hope that cop car wasn’t still around. I pull to a stop and park my car. I turn off my car and get out. I looked towards the destroyed building. I wonder what happened. I walk towards the building only to stop when I hear a groan. I quickly make my way towards the building faster. What had happened here? As I walked past the building that was destroyed I saw a gigantic humanoid laying down in the ditch. I stood there in shock. I did take notice of the fact that the being looked a lot like a cop car. Had they been the cop car chasing after Sam? I kind of hoped so.
“You’re not dead, are you?,” I asked as I came to the edge of the ditch. I hear the being groan once more as their eyes opened. At least they aren’t dead. That would have been a shocking news story to see. Though my curiosity was starting to pour over. Why had they been after Sam? Was it because of Sam’s alien car? Or something else?
“Why were you going after them?,” I asked. I highly doubted I would get an answer. There was a silence before the being groaned once more as they sat up. Their body turned and looked at me. A scowl was on their face. Looks like I would meet my death tonight. I kind of fully accepted that. Though I would have liked to be a scientist before I died, but at least I got to know that aliens were in fact real.
“The human boy has the key to find the Allspark,” a voice rang out. I looked towards the being in slight shock. I had accepted my fate, but it seems like it won’t come any time soon.
“What’s so important about the Allspark?,” I asked. Decided to test the waters once more.
“It is an ancient relic of ours that would aid in bringing our planet back,” the being continued. They did not seem to care for my questions, but yet they still replied.
“Then what is this key you speak of?,” I ask. The being seems to roll their eyes, almost seeming annoyed.
“Why should you know, fleshling?,” the being said. I looked at the being with an annoyed look. If Sam could have an alien, why couldn’t I? I honestly just wanted to help. The being said the Allspark was pretty important, so why would I not want to help? I mean, this was Sam we were talking about. I could be in and out of his house with whatever key this being needed.
“Well, I could be of help. The human boy is related to me. I could get whatever it is that you need and he wouldn’t think twice about it,” I said. It was true, Sam never thought twice about giving me something. I mean, that was how I got the glasses. The being seemed to sigh.
“Look, if you don’t want my help, I won’t force you,” I commented as I started my way back to my car. Honestly, I don’t know what I was thinking. Life would never be fair. I don’t know why I thought I could also get along with an alien. I sighed a bit and kicked a few of the rocks on the gravel road as I walked towards my car. I hear a thud and a groan from behind me and I look back to see the being trying to get out of the ditch. I looked at the being with concern and felt myself turn around. I watched the being get up a bit only for them to end up back on their knees. I found my feet moving before I could give a logical reason for what I was doing. The being looked up at me as I walked towards them. They sighed once more.
“The key to the Allspark are on the glasses,” the being said. I was quick to stop.
“Sam’s grandpa’s glasses?,” I asked.
“The glasses that were on the site called Ebay,” the being said. I stared at the being. I felt a smile crack across my face.
“Well, we might need to fix you up first,” I said, as I pulled my phone out to see what time it was. I had three and a half hours until I had to be at the airport. I looked back up at the being, as it gave me a weird look, that quickly turned into a scowl.
“What could a fleshy like you know about fixing me up?,” the being said with a growl. The smile on my face dropped.
“Probably not much. But I do know how to fix cars, and you don’t seem too different,” I said, kind of with a prick of sarcasm. I walked towards the being and started to look over the few wounds. Nothing a blow torch could not fix. I was quick to go and check the storage room not too far from the being. Luckily the storage had one. I quickly made my way back over to the being
"Also, if the key to your AllSpark is Sam's grandfather's glasses then you're chasing after the wrong person," I said mostly under my breath.
"Elaborate fleshing," they said, setting themself up more and getting real close.
"First your name, you can call me Kat" I said, as I pointed the blowtorch at them.
They sighed, "Barricade."
"Okay, Barricade, the person you should be going to for the glasses would be me," I said, placing my hand on my chest.
Barricade looked at me, raising, what I guess was, a brow, "and what makes you think I will believe you."
"Nothing will, you would have to trust me. Or you can continue to chase after the person who doesn't have what you are looking for and never get the item," I said with a cocky smile. I could almost literally feel the doubt coming off of Barricade and them debating whether or not to trust me.
"You better not waste my time fleshling," they threatened.
"I don't plan on it," I said with a small smile, "though first things first, you look like you need a patch up." I held up the blowtorch, time to get to work.

The patch up wasn’t the greatest, but it was good enough to where Barricade could change into his car form. I told them to follow me. I could feel them roll their eyes at me. I really didn’t care at this point. They seemed to trust me enough though, since they were following me back to my house. I drove past the road that led to Sam’s house, I saw his parents drive in. I chuckled a bit. Once I got to my road, I turned down it and pulled up into my driveway at my house. I put my car in park and turn it off before getting out. I watched as Barricade pulled up on the street and parked. I could hear my dogs bark and I smiled a bit. I turned to go into my house, and then a flash caught my attention. I turn back around and see shooting stars. Close ones at that. I look at them with slight shock. I went to ask Barricade, but I have a feeling they knew what I was about to say.
"Those are some of Cybertronian spaceships breaking through the atmosphere," Barricade said.
"Wow," I whispered in awe.
"Fleshy, I don't have the time for you to stare at my enemies in awe, bring me the glasses," Barricade demanded.
"Okay, okay, grouchy butt, I'm going to get the glasses. I understand you have seen things like that a lot, but this is my first time," I grumbled the last bit under my breath. I looked at the shooting stars, well, Cybertronian spaceships one last time before I headed into my house.

"Here you are," I said, holding up the glasses.
"You have proven your worth, fleshy," Barricade said with slight pride, as I rolled my eyes. Barricade transformed into their humanoid form, and took the glasses from me. They nodded, then transformed back into their car form. I will honestly be impressed if they didn't crush the glasses by doing that.
"Hey, Barricade, you said those ships were that of your enemies. What's going on?," I asked.
"Nothing that concerns you, fleshy," Barricade answered.
"Well, I wish you luck Barricade, also if you ever need a place of peace my garage has an empty space," I said with a smile.
"If our plan works, you won't even exist any more human," Barricade said with a cold voice.
"Well, if so, it was nice meeting you and the offer still stands. Also I thought you said your plans don't involve me," I said. Barricade drove off leaving me in what little light my porch lights gave off.
"I would almost hope that your plan would work, but it would be nice to see you once again. Mostly cause you didn't answer my question, arsehole," I sighed with a small smile.
"Well, I got a plane to catch in...," I start to say while checking my phone, "2 hours, I need to hurry."

Narrator POV

"Excuse me, are you the tooth fairy?" A small human girl says to Ironhide.(I had to include this, this child will forever crack me up)

While Kat was watching Barricade drive off. Meanwhile Sam and Mikaela were meeting the other Autobots, as they explained their situation to Sam and Mikaela.
"Are you Samuel James Witwicky, descendent of Archibald Witwicky?" Optimus asks Sam.
"They know your name," whispers Mikaela.
"Yeah," squeaks Sam.
"My name is Optimus Prime. We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron," explains Optimus.
"But you can call us Autobots," comments Ratchet.
"Autobots," repeats Sam.
"What's cracking, little bitches?," asks Jazz as he walks over to Sam and Mikaela, he then does some kind of flip to show off.(I guess, I this and was like 'boy, really, did you really have to do that?')
"My first lieutenant. Designation, Jazz," introduces Optimus.
"This looks like a cool place to kick it," comments Jazz, as he jumps back and lands on an old car to relax.
"What is that? How did he learn to talk like that?," questioned Sam.
"We've learned Earth's languages through the World Wide Web," answers Optimis.
"My weapons specialist, Ironhide," introduces Optimus.
Ironhide then does a maneuver and activates his cannons, pointing them at Sam and Mikaela and says, "you feeling lucky, punk?"
"Easy, Ironhide," commands Optimus.
"Just kidding. I just wanted to show him my cannons," Ironhide comments as he puts away his cannons.
"Our medical officer, Ratchet," introduces Optimis.
"The boy's pheromones level suggests he wants to mate with the female," comments Ratchet.(excuse me while I go and cry in the corner....) Sam and Mikaela immediately look away from each other.
"You already know your guardian, Bumblebee," says Optimus. Bumblebee then does a little dance while his radio is playing.
"Bumblebee, right?," questions Sam, "so you're my guardian, huh?" Bumblebee looks at Sam and nods.
"His vocal processors were damaged in battle. I'm still working on them," says Ratchet, as he scans Bee.
Mikaela slowly turns from looking at Bumblebee to looking at Optimus and asks, "Why are you here?"
"We are here looking for the All Spark. And we must find it before Megatron," explains Optimus.
"Mega-what?," questions Sam.(Mega-Bitch.... I'm sorry this joke kills me, like how Megatron would if I said that to his face) Optimus then presses something at the side of his helm, causing a light to form from his optics and a scene to play out.
"Our planet was once a powerful empire, peaceful and just, until we were betrayed by Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. All who defied them were destroyed. Our war finally consumed the planet, and the All Spark was lost to the stars. Megatron followed it to Earth, where Captain Witwicky found him," explained Optimus.
"My grandfather," says Sam.
"It was an accident that intertwined our fates," said Optimus. We are then shown the scene of the accident which led to Captain Witwicky finding Megatron frozen in ice.
"Megatron crash-landed before he could retrieve the Cube. He accidentally activated his navigation system. The coordinates to the Cube's location on Earth were imprinted on his glasses," explained Optimus.
"How did you know about his glasses?," asked Sam.
"eBay," answers Optimus.
"eBay," repeats Sam as he looks at Mikaela.
"If the Decepticons find the All Spark, they will use its power to transform Earth's machines and build a new army," says Ratchet.
"And the human race will be extinguished," ends Optimus.
"Sam Witwicky, you hold the key to Earth's survival.(heh, not anymore)," says Optimus.
"Please tell me, that you have those glasses," says Mikaela as she turns to look at Sam. But sadly all the events that had happened that day had scrambled his head, because he had forgotten one thing. His cousin was the one who had the glasses. Or well, that she did once own the glasses.

Chapter Text

Narrator POV

Somewhere over the Atlantic

We are shown an U.S. Air Force Plane as it flies over the ocean. We are then brought inside the plane to be greeted by the survivor crew as they look at the tip of Scorponok's tail.
"It's like a self-regenerating molecular armor," comments one of the airplane's men.
"Look at the scorch mark where the sabot round hit. Melted right through," comments the leader of the survivor crew.
"Hey, aren't sabots hot-loaded for, like, a 6000-degree magnesium burn?," the leader asks one of his men.
"Close to it. It melts tank armor," answers one of the men.
"So this metal skin must react to extreme heat," says the leader.
The tail then comes alive and stabs down on the opposite end of the table, barely missing one of the survivor crew's men.
"I thought you said that thing was dead, man!," shouts the man who almost got stabbed.
"Strap it down! Strap it! This thing is wicked," says the leader, "all right, get on the horn with Northern Command. Tell them that our effective weapon is high-heat sabot rounds. Recommend we load them on all the gunships. Go."

Chapter Text

Narrator POV

We are shown Sam's parents watching the news about something hitting a building. We are then shown the Autobots pulling up to the house.
"Call Sam," says Judy to her husband.
"Yeah. Why?," questions Ron.
"He should be home in 15 minutes," says Judy.
"Well, I'll call him in 15 minutes," says Ron.
"If you wait 15 minutes then he'll be late and you'll have to ground him," says Judy.
"Well, I can't ground him if he's not late, can I?," says Ron.
We are shown Bumblebee pulling into the driveway, the other auto bots following after.
"I need you to stay here, all right? You gotta stay here and you're gonna watch them," says Sam.
"Okay," says Mikaela.
"5 minutes alright," says Sam. He then bolts to the back door of the house.
"Thanks for staying on my path," says Ron as he pokes his head out the door.
"Oh, yeah. No, no, Dad. Hey!," Sam says as he slams his body up against the door to keep his dad in the house.
"The... Oh, the path. I'm sorry. I forgot about the path. I'm gonna sweep the whole thing right now. How about that?," Sam says as he tries to keep his dad distracted.
"You know, I buy half of your car..." his dad starts.
"Yeah," Sam says.
"Then I bail you out of jail and then I decided to do all your chores," Ron says to remind Sam.
"The chores," says Sam with an 'oh shit' face.
"Yeah. Life is great, huh?," his dad says.
"Life.... Life is fantastic, is how good it is. It's so... oh, the trash cans. Sorry, dad. I'm gonna do the trash cans now," Sam says, trying to make an excuse.
"No, no, I don't want you to strain yourself," Ron says sarcastically.
"No, no, I won't strain myself, dad," Sam says. Sam and his dad bicker back and forth for a while. Sam is trying to keep his father in the house, while Ron is trying to come out of the house. Optimus and Bumblebee had made their way into the backyard as Sam was bickering with his father. The rest of the Autobots make their way into the backyard, causing quite a bit of damage.

Sam finally made it to his room to look for the glasses.
"Where are they? No, no, no, no, no. Come on, come on," he said as he looked around his room looking for the glasses.
"What is this?," he asked in confusion as Optimus lifted Mikaela up to his bedroom window.
"Time is short," said Optimus.
"They really want those glasses," Mikaela tells Sam.
"Oh no, oh no. They're not here, the glasses are in a backpack, and the backpack isn't here," Sam says wide eyed at Mikaela. A sound is heard outside the room. Sam looks outside to see the Autobots have transformed into their car forms in the backyard. Sam and Mikaela then get back to trying to find the glasses, to no avail. Optimus then comes back over to the window, accidentally stepping on Sam's mom's flower garden. Sam in an attempt to not get caught asks the Autobots to move and to do it quietly. Optimus understands and tells the other Autobots to move but quietly.
Ratchet, focused on his leader talking, runs right into a power line. He takes it hard and falls into the neighbor's greenhouse. This alerts Sam's parents, his dad thinking it is an earthquake, and his mom looking at her husband with a concerned face.
"How did you get over there so fast?," she asks her husband.
Ratchet finally coming to, says, "wow! That was tingly! You gotta try that!"
"Yeah, that looks like fun," says Ironhide sarcastically, knocking the power out in the neighborhood. That causes Sam's parents to make their way to his room. Him taking a while to get to the door and the fact that they heard him talking to someone, causes his parents to have questions. The whole second 'earthquake' and the bots hiding from the father who is peeking out the window.

Sam's parents go back to questioning and Mikaela finally stands up from her hiding place.
"Hi, I'm Mikaela. I'm a... I'm a friend of Sam's," she says.(the parents' faces after this kill me, like I sat there laughing for a sec)
"Gosh, you're gorgeous. Isn't that the prettiest girl?," Judy asks.
"She can hear you talking, mom," Sam says.
"Thank you," replies Mikaela.
"Have you seen my backpack?," Sam asks.
"Oh, it's in the kitchen," Judy answers.

We are then shown cop cars pulling up to the house.(right?, those are cop cars right - asking people who have seen the movie) People come out of the cars, slowly surrounding the house.

Sam finally makes it down to the kitchen to get his backpack and looks for the glasses.
"Mom, where are grandpa's glasses?," he asks when he can't find them.
"Oh, did you forget, Kat bought them from you," she answered.
"Shit," Sam mumbled under his breath.

We are given a shot of a man's eyes peeking through the mail slot of the front door and ringing the doorbell.
"Ronald Wickity?," the man asks.
"It's Witwicky. Who are you?," Ron asks.
"We're the government. Sector seven," the man says.
"Never heard of it," says Ron.
"Never will," says the man, who then questions, "your son's the great-grandson of Captain Archibald Wickity, is he not?"
"It's Witwicky," corrects Ron.
"May I enter the premises, sir?," the man asks as he gets real close to Ron's ear.
"Ron, there are guys all over the front yard," says Judy.
"What the heck is going on here?," questions Ron.
"Your son filed a stolen car report last night. We think it's involved in a national security matter," the man says. The men continue to circle around the house, damaging what plants were left, and causing stress to both Ron and Judy.
Sam then walks into the room and asks, "what is this?"
The strange man looks at Sam and asks, "how are you doing, son? Is your name Sam?"
"Yeah," says Sam in confusion.
"Well, I need you to come with us," says the man. Sam's parents try to get in between the man and their son. The man warns them to not get in the way. Another man comes inside and tells the first man,
"I think, direct contact," in a whisper. The first man takes the device in his hand and scans Sam.
"Fourteen rads. Bingo. Tag them and bag them," the man says as he turns around. The family is then taken out of the house and put in the cars parked out front.

"So a, LadiesMan217," the man starts, "that is your eBay username, right?"
"Yeah, but, you know, it was a joke played on me by my cousin and I just ran with it," said Sam, trying to save face in front of Mikaela, "I mean, I could have changed it later, but I didn't."
"What do you make of this?," the man says. The man then plays the video that Sam had made when he saw Bumblebee first transform. They go on back and forth. Rat man wanted his questions, that he already knew the answers to, to be answered by Sam, and Sam tried to deny it ever happened. It then gets on to where Sam finds out Mikaela and her father are criminals.(I'm summarizing this because Ratman makes me very uncomfortable, like dude, wtf is wrong with you) The rads machine starts going off, but Rat man is too focused on intimidating Sam and Mikaela to notice.
"It is time to talk!," Rat man says. Only for the car to hit something hard. The car is then lifted up until the roof comes off of it, causing the car to hit the ground hard. Sam then tells Rat man that he and his men are in trouble now, because of Optimus.

Though sadly enough it wasn't enough. Soon Optimus was told by Sam that Sam's cousin was the one who now owned the glasses. Sam also informed them that that cousin was out of town, that she would have left at least an hour ago. Sam, Mikaela, and even Bumblebee ended up in the hands of Sector 7. And the only thing the Autobots could do is follow them. Hoping that they were taking them to the same place as the Cube.

Chapter Text

Kat POV
I felt myself jolt awake as I felt my shoulder be shaken. I look over to see a little kid. The little kid that sat next to me while the plane flew.
“We are here, miss,” the kid said, flashing me a smile that had one of their top teeth missing. I hummed and nodded. I stood up and leaned over to grab my bag from up top. I look back down and see that the kid is still there.
“Where is your mom, kid?,” I asked. She hadn’t left them did she? The kid shrugged their shoulders and I sighed. Who just goes off and leaves their kid? This kid’s mom, it seems. I stepped out and into the aisle. I start to head towards the door. I look back to see that the kid is still standing there. Though they seem to be trying to grab something from the lockers from above. I sighed and walked back towards the kid and grabbed the bag out of the locker. The kid smiled as I handed them the bag. I head back towards the door and hear the kid follow after me. As we walk down the hall to the airport, the kid tries to start a conversation.
“I don’t really like spending time with my mom. She always seems to leave me places,” the kid talked for a while. Though the longer I listened, the more I wanted to punch this kid's mother. I sighed a bit, and noticed that the kid froze. I looked over at the kid and patted their head. Though I noticed how they seemed wary of my action, until they realized it was a head pat.
“I’m gonna guess you got a dad?,” I asked the kid. The kid smiled and nodded. They then went on a spill about their dad. This time though, I only heard great things.

Okay. I am for sure gonna punch this kid’s mom. We had been looking for her for the past hour. We even went to the lost and found desk and made an announcement. Luckily, the security was nice enough to look at the cameras for us. Though the kid was able to identify their mom, we all watched the security cameras as she got into a taxi and left the airport. I felt my blood boil when I saw that. Though I found out what the kid’s name was. Their name was Ryan Shmit. The last name sounded familiar to me and sure enough. It turns out the kid’s mom works for the company building I was gonna be seeing tomorrow. I sat down on one of the airport’s benches with the kid as I tried to call the building. I sighed and decided to call the assistant. I asked them if they could give me the address for Ms. Shmit. The assistant told me kindly to fuck off, or well they told me they could not give that out. So I asked them for the woman’s phone number, giving my reasoning this time. I still was told no.
I sighed and said, “Well, I’ll be bringing the kid with me later then.” I hung up the phone. I told the airport security to keep a look out for the kid’s mom and gave them my number to call if she came looking for the kid. I then called the local police and filed a seeming child abandonment. I told them the kid’s name and the mother’s name. Also telling them that she hadn’t come back for her kid in the past 3 hours. They seemed unsure and I just told them to write it down. I sighed once the call ended. I looked towards the kid, who had now fallen asleep, and walked towards her. I picked Ryan up and grabbed mine and her suitcase. She still had her backpack on and I still had mine on. I waved down one of the taxi’s and told it the location of my hotel. I laid the kid down to where her head laid on my lap. I sighed as I looked out the window. I wasn’t gonna get much sleep once I got to the hotel. I watched as the sun started to rise, I looked over at the clock in the taxi to see it was 6:15 am. I might not get any sleep at all. Well, at least I slept on the plane. I watched as we finally reached the city. I smiled a bit as the sign passed. Mission City. The company building that I was visiting seemed to be having technical difficulty. At that point, if the difficulty was that someone forgot to press the power button, I would find Ryan’s mom and throw her out the window. Just to get my anger and frustration out.

Though I will say, I was shocked when I got this job. I only have a Robotics degree, and yet they hired me. When I asked about training, they told me one of my superior IT workers would teach me. I have a feeling that is not how it was supposed to work, but I did get paid well. The reason I was sent to the building in Mission City was because the previous IT worker had smuggled funds and was fired. So I was called, and asked to come when I am ready, they wanted me as soon as I could come. I'm grateful that they let me work it out with my professors before ripping me from my house. I sighed once more and looked down at Ryan. I ran my fingers through her hair, stopping once the taxi made it to my hotel. I picked Ryan up once more and grabbed our stuff and went in to check in. Ryan woke up and wanted to walk herself. I let her down as I checked myself in. The lady behind the counter giggled and commented about me being a nice mother. I looked over at Ryan, who was now looking at the tour brochures, and smiled a bit. I wasn’t this kid’s mom, but I wasn’t someone who was gonna hurt them either.

Once I was checked in I called Ryan over and she came jogging over. She had a big smile on her face as she held one of the brochures up. Hoover Dam. I guess we could go, not like her mom would care. I also wanted to do it to make Sam jealous a bit.
“We’ll have to see about that,” I said with a small smile. Ryan smiled as she opened the brochure once more and started reading the words from it. I guess she was trying to convince me. I felt myself smile nonetheless. I had a feeling today was gonna be a good day, though I also had a feeling in my gut that said otherwise. Though once I looked over at Ryan who was grinning ear to ear, that feeling was washed away.

Chapter Text

Narrator POV

We are shown a helicopter taking off. The helicopter contains Sam, Mikaela, Maggie, and Glen. Sam, not wanting it to be silent, starts up. "So...," Sam tries to say. "What'd they get you for?," Maggie asks. "Uh, I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot," Sam answers. "Wow," Glen mouths. "Who knew," said Sam. We are shown that they are slowly approaching the Hoover Dam. After the helicopters land, people start to exit out of them. We are given a glimpse of Bumblebee as they continue to ice him and take him away.

Kat POV
I smiled a bit as I watched Ryan run ahead of me. I decided to take her to the Hoover Dam so we could destress. I sighed as I remembered the look on her mother’s face when I came in with her. We had stopped by a cafe on the way in, so we were both holding hot chocolates. I had a hashbrown before I entered, Ryan on the other hand was finishing the blueberry muffin she had gotten. Her mother looked shocked, and so did everyone else in the office. I didn’t bat an eye, and Ryan was too focused on her muffin. I led Ryan down the hallway to the boss’ office. She would be the one to show me the way to the problem.
“Riley?,” Ryan’s mom gasped. She looked as if that alone was painful to say. Ryan peeked up a bit and froze a little. Ryan unconsciously hid behind me and I didn’t stop the kid. I rolled my eyes at her mother using her middle name instead of Ryan’s first name.
“Ryan, is something the matter?,” I asked, putting my hand on Ryan’s shoulder. Ryan had told me that she was happy she ended up with me instead of her mother. She rambled on about all the things she didn’t like that her mother did. She talked about such things as if they were normal. On the other hand my eyes widened more and more as she talked. Her mother had locked her out of the house when her mother’s boyfriend was over. The excuse was that her mom’s boyfriend didn’t like kids. And that was the tamest thing her mother had done.
Ryan looked up at me and smiled a bit, “No. I’m fine.” Ryan stuffed the rest of the muffin in her mouth. Ryan was quick to grab my hand and we continued down the hallway.
The difficulty luckily was not that someone forgot to click the power button. It was in fact that someone forgot to plug something in. And ironically it was Ryan’s mother that had forgotten to plug in the device.
“You should stop forgetting about important things,” I whispered to her as I walked out of the room. Ryan was waiting for me at the door. I smiled at Ryan and offered to go to the dam. And well, Ryan…..
“Whoooooo!!! This is so cool!! I wish my dad was here to see this!!!,” Ryan shouted as she leaned over the edge. She did that. She yelled in excitement when I told her we were going to the dam.
“Ryan, don’t lean too far. We don’t need you falling down there,” I said to her. She was quick to lean back onto solid ground. Ryan looked over to me with an excited grin. She turned and ran further down the dam. I watched her as I turned to lean against the dam. Two cars caught my eye as they passed by. I looked right at the cars in confusion. What was with the high professional cars? The ones with the hidden red and blue lights. Why were they here? I watch as the two black cars pull over to the side and people come out of them. Huh, what's Sam doing here? I started walking towards them, catching Ryan on the way.
"Sam!," I called out towards him. He turns to see me.
"Kat?," I hear him call back.
“Who’s that?,” I hear Ryan ask.
“My annoying cousin,” I said, with a small laugh.
"The one and only, what are you doing here?," I asked, but before I could get an answer a man in a black suit came between us. I look at the man confused, "can I help you?" The man then pulls out this machine and scans me. The machine starts beeping a lot. He then turns to Ryan and does the same thing, though the machine does not beep when it is on her.
"What are you doing?," I ask.
"You're coming with us," the man says as he goes to grab my arm.
I dodge him and ask, "hey, can I at least grab my stuff from my car and I’m not leaving this little one by herself." The man seemed to glare at me a bit, but then nodded. Though he grabbed Ryan first.
“Do not make a scene. And this child will stay with me until then,” the man said. I glared a bit at him manhandling Ryan, but I nodded and quickly ran to get mine and Ryan’s stuff.

The car ride was really something. The girl with Sam is named Mikaela. She seems nice and she's pretty, so win-win I guess. I was also introduced to two more people, named Maggie and Glen. Also seemed like nice people. Though Sam for some reason thought Ryan was my kid. It made sense for the others to think that, but Sam was my cousin. Someone who saw me everyday and he of all people thought that Ryan was my secret child. I shook my head at his stupidity. Though, I did have some questions.
"So what's the situation we are in?," I asked Sam.
"You'll know soon enough, if anything you should already know," he said with a huff.
"Something to do with the alien car?," I asked. I hear Ryan quietly gasp and look at me.
"It has everything to do with the alien car," Sam said, "they took him from me and everything."
"In a civil way or in a hostile way?," I asked. He sat and thought for a sec.
"Well, it seems like they were hurting him," Sam started.
"So hostile way it was, okay, so no respect for these people, none," I said in a cheerful tone to off-set people. Oh, I was gonna take these people for a ride. Ryan mumbled about the men being meanies. I cracked up a bit at that.

Chapter Text

Kat's POV

I saw army men give a salute to the people in front of us. So they're that important, huh.
“Kat, who is that?,” Ryan asked quietly.
“I honestly don’t know, but it seems to be someone important,” I whispered back. Ryan nodded and looked forward, and held my hand.
We were then stopped by a man, and just the attitude coming from him made me say, "Ratman," under my breath. Ryan giggled a bit and held onto my hand harder. Just the way he presented himself made me think he was cocky and then he really sold it.
"Hey, kid. I think we got off to a bad start, huh?," he put his hand on Sam's shoulder, "you must be hungry? You want a latte? Hoho? Double venti macchiato?"
"Where's my car/where's the car?," both Sam and I said.
"Since when did we have a third one?," the man asked as he looked at me, “and forth.” He looked at Ryan in confusion, only for his face to change back into one that is unaffected.
"That doesn't answer the question, Ratman," I said, dead starring him.
"Children, I need you to listen to me very carefully. People can die here," the other man started.
"So?," I said, not changing the look on my face, just who it was looking at.
He coughed and continued, "We need to know everything you know. We need to know it now."
"Okay. But first, I'll take my car, my cousin, her kid, and my parents. Maybe you should write that down," he started, as raise a brow at him calling Ryan my kid again behind him, "oh, and her juvie record. That's got to be gone. Like, forever."
"Come with me. We'll talk about your car," the other man says as he starts to walk away. Sam smiles and then looks over to Mikaela as he starts to follow the man.
"Thank you," Mikaela whispers to Sam. Awe, ain't he just the sweetest.

"All right, here's the situation. You've all had direct contact with the NBEs," Ratman said.
"NBEs?," someone questioned.
"Non-Biological Extraterrestrials. Try and keep up with the acronyms," Ratman said to the man.
I rolled my eyes and mumbled, "maybe I'd you had told us beforehand, we would have known the acronym." Ryan giggled again. Was everything I said that funny to this kid? I raised a brow at Ryan and she looked at me with a smile.
"What you're about to see is totally classified," the other man said. I look up in shock to see another giant robot. I feel Ryan grip hard on my hand. I look down towards her and see that she also has a sparkle in her eyes. I look back towards the giant and smiled a bit.
"Wow," Ryan and I silently say. I could tell we weren't the only ones amazed, everyone else stopped in their tracks.
"Dear God, What is this?," the man, who I learned was the Secretary of Defense, gasped.
"We think when he made his approach over to the North Pole, our gravitational field screwed up his telemetry. He crashed in the ice, probably a few thousand years ago. We shipped him here to this facility in 1934," the other man explained.
"We call him NBE one," said Ratman.
"Well, sir. I don't mean to correct you on everything you think you know, but, I mean, that's Megatron," Sam said to Ratman, "he's the leader of the Decepticons."
"Megatron, huh, he's a beauty. Sucks that he has to be frozen though," I mumbled under my breath, I looked over to see Ryan nod at my mumble, while I did notice Mikaela gave me an odd look.
"He's been in cryostasis since 1935. Your great-great-grandfather made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind," said black suit man.
"Fact is, you're looking at the source of the modern age, the microchip, lasers, space flight, cars, all reverse-engineered by studying him. NBE one. That's what we call it," Ratman got really close to Sam on that last part, I rolled my eyes at Ratman. Something had to be small for him to act like that. It also pissed me off that Megatron was a he not an it. Yep, if I get the chance I'm decking this man.
"And you think the United States military might need to know that you are keeping a hostile alien robot frozen in the basement?," the SoD questioned.
"Until these events, we had no credible threat to national security," black suit said.
"Well, you got one now," said SoD. Well he wasn't wrong.
"So why Earth," said the captain of the army group. I know he introduced himself but I'm bad with names.
"It's the AllSpark," Sam answers. Ah, Barricade said something about the glasses leading to the AllSpark. I looked over at Ryan once again. I bent down to her ear.
“It would be funny but terrible and terrifying if the so-called AllSpark was in the next room,” I whispered with a small chuckle. Though what I said was a joke, when I really think about it, knowing my own species and from movies, we can be pretty clueless about things.
"AllSpark? What is that?," asked the SoD.
"Well, yeah, they came here looking for some sort of cube-looking thing. Anyways, Mr.NBE One here, AKA Megatron, that's what they call him," Sam said, putting his face close to Ratman. I smiled a small bit and stood back up. I look back towards Megatron, I don't know what it is, but something draws me to the robot. Maybe because I have never seen anything like him, I'm not sure though.
"Who's pretty much the harbinger of death, wants the Cube to transform human technology to take over the universe. That's their plan," said Sam. I quickly turned back to face Sam, almost giving myself whiplash. Wow, did he get that info from Megatron himself? I guess it's just the small bit of hope in me that thinks everything has a little bit of good in it no matter how bad it is. Kind of hopes that what he said isn't the truth. But what Barricade said, it's most likely is, I wish I could ask Megatron himself that though.
"Are you sure about that?," asked Ratman. Oh no, what I said earlier about the All Spark being in the next room, is most likely correct. I feel Ryan pull my hand. I look down at her.
"Yeah," answered Sam. Ryan gives me a look.
Sam seemed to have a similar idea to mine, and Ryan it seems, cause he said, "you guys know where it is, don't you?" Ryan looked at the men and back at me.
"Follow me," said black suit. We followed after the man, but as we got to the tunnel, I stopped and turned to look at Megatron one more time. Ryan came to a stop and followed my lead.
I smiled at the frozen mech, "there's a chance that you will be free soon," I said quietly.(little did she know, just because he was frozen, doesn't mean he wasn't conscious) I looked down to Ryan who looked at me in confusion. I quickly turned around and we caught up with the group.

"You're about to see our crown jewel," said Ratman.
"Carbon dating puts the Cube here around 10000 BC. The first 7 didn't find it until 1913. They knew it was alien because of the matching hieroglyphics on the Cube as well as NBE 1. President Hoover had the dam built around it. Four football fields thick of concrete. A perfect way to hide its energy from being detected by anyone or any alien species on the outside," black suit man said.
"You would hope so, huh," I mumbled, "but with our luck and the help that I gave, we have probably already been breached." I sighed, noticing movement out of the corner of my eye. I look down to see a small robot get reformed by the cube itself. Yep, I'm right. I tap Ryan on the shoulder and point out the window. Pointing to the tiny robot. Ryan gasped a bit and then looked back at me. I smiled and nodded. Ryan looked back towards the tiny robot, I followed after and we watched it run off.

Go free your master little one.

Chapter Text

Narrator POV

Hope they would, but unluckily for them, Frenzy had made his way in and was gonna screw it all up. Frenzy being close enough to the cube, was given his body back.
"All Spark located" - Frenzy
"This is Starscream: All Decepticons, mobilize."
"Barricade en-route"
"Devastator reporting..."
"Bonecrusher rolling..."
"Blackout incoming..."
"All hail Megatron!"

Kat POV

"Wait, back up. You said the dam hides the Cube's energy. What kind exactly?," Maggie asks. I honestly am wondering too, like it holds the power to do what. Barricade only told me it would aid in the process for bringing back his planet and I just saw it give back the body to a small robot, but what else could it do? I look over to see that Ryan also seems curious. I cracked up a bit. You know what, this kid could be my secret kid at this point.
"Good question," black suit says, as he takes us to another room. There is a man standing inside the room and behind him is a box made of glass.
"Please step inside, they have to lock us in," black suit explains. Wait, why do they have to lock us in. Is the energy that bad? I see Glen talking to one of the army men, I don't really listen in much. But something along the lines of Freddy Kruger and Wolverine. Ryan squeezes my hand once more.
"That's very funny," says Ratman with a serious face, oh now he looks like someone who is professional. I still would like to punch his stupid face though.
"Anybody have any mechanical devices? BlackBerry? Key alarm? Cell phone?," Ratman asks.
"I got an old flip phone I don't use," I say, pulling the phone out of my bag. Hey, I may not like the man, but I rather give him something I'm not using, so no one else has to sacrifice something they are using. Ratman takes the phone from my hand. We were given goggles and Ratman took the phone and placed it in the box, locking the box. Ryan tugs at my hand and I look over to her putting the goggles on goofily, sticking her tongue out. I rolled my eyes and ruffled her hair.
"Nokias are real nasty. You've got to respect the Japanese. They know the way of the samurai," Rat man says.
"Nokia's from Finland," me and Maggie comment at the same time.
"Yes, but he's, you know, a little strange. He's a little strange," says the SoD. He's more than a little strange though, might as well call him the whole mirror maze. We all slip our goggles on as the device comes down. I check to make sure Ryan puts hers on correctly, once done i focus back on my phone in the box.
"We're able to take the Cube's radiation and funnel it into that box," Ratman says, as he goes around pressing buttons and flipping switches. The power comes out of the device and goes into the phone, causing everyone to be surrounded by whiteness for a second. The phone then shakes and a weird sound emits from it. It then transforms into this tiny little bot. It looks absolutely adorable. Though it does seem to freak the other people out.
"Aw, a baby," I say quietly. The tiny robot then tries to find a way out of the box. Running into the side trying to break out.
"Mean little sucker, huh?," Ratman comments. It was literally just born, and that's your reaction, wtf. I think I'll name them, Mini-Might.
"That thing is freaky!," says Maggie. Oh not you too, I thought you were cool.
"Kind of like the itty-bitty Energizer Bunny from hell, huh?," Ratman says. You know what, Bunny would be a funny name huh, to give a cute little ball of destruction.
“No, it’s a cute little baby,” Ryan fights back against the adults in the room. The adults don’t pay much attention to her. I then notice the little bot starts to panic. It shoots off a mini missile. Seeing it didn't work, they then start to shoot at everyone outside the glass. The force caused him to fall back on his back. Poor baby.
Ratman groans, "he's breaking the box." I see him pick up something.
"Hey Ratman, what the fuck do you think your doing!," I shout at the man. He flinched a little, good. Though I noticed Ryan flinched a little too. I pat her hand and focus back on Ratman.
"I'm going to euthanize it, brat!," Ratman shouted back.
"So you're gonna bring them to life, only to kill them as soon as they finally look at the world, just because they didn't act the way that you wanted them to act?," I asked, letting go of Ryan’s hand, I got up close to Ratman. Ratman stayed silent after I said that.
"Let me try something," I say, as I make my way over to the door of the box.
"What do you think you're doing, brat?," he asked me.
"Watch and learn, old man," I growled, "if you are scared of the little bot, I advise you to move away from me." Most people, even Sam and Mikaela, moved away from me. The only one that seemed to move closer was Ryan, I smiled a bit at the kid. I slowly opened the door, the tiny bot had calmed down a little now.
"Hey there little one," I switched to a soft and quiet voice while dealing with the mini-bot. The bot being flipped on its back and having a hard time standing back up.
"I'm gonna help you up, alright?," I explained and questioned the mini-bot. They had stopped moving and didn't fight when I slowly picked them up and placed them back on their feet in my hand.
"There you go, it must have been a shock to see so many unknown faces when you were first born, huh?," I cooed. The mini bot grumbled and snuggled into my hand. I took notice of how everyone else in the room looked in shock, heh, even Ratman's mouth was in ajar. Ryan’s expression stood out among them. Her face wore a smile.
"What? It's a baby. A ball of destruction baby, but nonetheless a baby," I said. I look down at the tiny bot in my hands.
"I'm gonna name ya, Bunny," I said with a small giggle, as the small bot snuggled more into my hand. Ryan slowly made her way over to me and also cooed at the tiny bot. Ryan tried to pet the little one, but Bunny didn’t seem so accepting. It hissed a bit at her, but then started to move along with her hand. Ryan’s smile grew at the action. Ryan looked up at me with her big smile and then back down at the bot. It’s nice that they got along.

Chapter Text

Narrator POV

We are shown a shot of Devastator, Bonecrusher, and Barricade as they make their way towards the dam. Starscream flies above(and beyond) and fast towards the dam. Catching a hold of a bridge part, flipping and landing on the top of it. A few guards run away in fear. Starscream then shoots off some missiles that fly and hit the nearby power station that is connected to the dam.

Kat POV

The lights flicker inside the room that me and the others were in.
"Gentlemen, they know the Cube is here," says the SoD.
"Banachek. What's going on?," says black suit, into an intercom. I feel Bunny trying to climb my sleeve. I look down towards the bot and smile. I pull my hand up and allow Bunny to crawl into my hood. I see Ryan, out of the corner of my eye, gawking at him.
"The NBE One hanger has lost power and the backup generator..." 'Banacheck' says back.
"What?," black suit seems to panic.
"Is just not gonna cut it," Banachek finishes.
"Do you have an arms room?," asks the captain of the soldiers. Oh ain't this great. Well my wish of wanting to talk to Megatron might become reality. I smiled a small bit as we exited the room, I felt Bunny snuggling up to my neck.
"Oh this, this is gonna be fun," I whispered under my breath, as I grabbed Ryan’s hand as we followed everyone out of the room.

Narrator POV

We are shown Frenzy and the bodies of the people he killed in the command room(I think). Frenzy then turns around to the computer behind him and starts typing things in. Seeming to disable the cryo freeze that was keeping Megatron a giant icicle.
"Megatron! Megatron! Megatron!," Frenzy called out in excitement.

Kat POV

"Get everyone to the NBE One chamber now!," I hear black suit yell.
"Yeah, that's such a smart idea. Let's go to the room where we are most likely to be killed. Perfect," I said, I mean earlier they were saying Megatron was hostile. We have now been told that the power is going out in that chamber and now he is seen as not hostile, that makes no sense.

At this point I was just blocking them out, especially since we were running down a hallway. I started focusing more on not running into the person in front of me and not having my shoes stepped on by the person behind me. I feel a hard tug on my hand, though in the moment I don’t think too much.

Narrator POV

We are shown the Autobots bots making their way to the dam.

We are then brought back to Frenzy, who is trying to speed up the defreeze process.
"Megatron melting," he says, as he looks at the screen.

We are then shown a scientist, who is at the feet of Megatron.
"16502. We are losing pressure," an intercom says.
"Stand by. Set," someone shouts.
"We are losing pressure!," the intercom repeats.
"The cryogenic system is failing! We're losing NBE One!," the intercom yells.

Kat POV

We finally made it to the weapons room. Everybody was getting ready to deal with whatever may come. I hope it's not too much. Though where is Sam's car, Bumblebee? He might be able to help.
"Forty millimeter sabot rounds on that table!," shouts Ratman, snapping me out of my thoughts. A sound is heard, sounds like something landed above us. It makes the lights flicker and move again. I feel Bunny rub up against my neck, the commotion probably woke him back up. I then realize that Ryan isn’t there anymore. I immediately look around the room. She is no where in sight. I feel myself start to panic a bit. I then remember the major tug on my hand earlier. Was that when I lost her? If so, she is not anywhere close. I am snapped out of my thoughts.
"You just want to sit here and wait and see what happens?," questions Sam.
"I have people's lives at stake here, young man," remarked Ratman. What did I just start listening to?
The captain of the soldiers comes up behind Ratman and grabs him and says, "take him to his car!" He slams Ratman into one of the cars and holds him there. I start my way towards them. The area becomes a shooting ground. Everyone pointing guns at who they believe is dangerous. Jeez, hopefully no one here is trigger happy.
"Drop it," one of the army men says. Two other army men knock out two heavily armored men. Wow, that armor didn't help much. I bite my tongue to keep from laughing. Though I enjoy this scene, I am a little glad Ryan isn’t here to see it. Ryan, oh Ryan, I need to find her.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!," says black suit. Does he really think that will calm everyone down?...
"Drop your weapon, soldier," Ratman says, "there's an alien war going on and you're gonna shoot me?"
"You know, we didn't ask to be here," the captain says.
"I'm ordering you under s-seven executive jurisdiction," Ratman says.
"S-seven don't exist," says one of the army men.
"Right. And we don't take orders from people that don't exist," Captain said. Ooo, he used thy words against you. Hehe.
"I'm gonna count to five. Okay," Ratman said. Oh no, he didn't, I started slowly walking over.
"Well, I'm gonna count to three," Captain said, putting the gun on Ratman's heart.
"And I'm gonna count to neither," as I punched Ratman in the face, knocking him off the car and onto the floor. Ratman groaned and quite a few guns got aimed at me.
I looked around at the room, "so.... Ladies, we just gonna sit here and watch the world end. Or are you gonna take my cousin to his car," I said looking around at everyone in the room.
"Simmons?," says the SoD, to the groaning man who is slowly getting off the floor.
"Yes, sir?," asks Ratman.
"I suggest listening, these guys aren't the type to lose, and that young lady doesn't seem to be either," the SoD says. Yeah, grandpa tell him.
Ratman looked back and forth between me, the army men, and the SoD, "all right. Okay. Hey, you want to lay the fate of the world on the kid's Camaro? That's cool," he commented, Captain put his gun away.
"I rather trust the Camero than you, Ratman," I said, giving him a glare. I walk over and take a shotgun and a pistol. Two of the only guns I know how to shoot, glad they're an option. I quickly load them and take a few more rounds just in case.

I watched as they all sped walked off. I wasn’t gonna go with them. I need to find Ryan. I felt Bunny move around behind my neck. I reached back and patted him. I quickly started to move back to where we had come from.
“Ryan!,” I yelled. Hopefully she would be able to hear me over the commotion. Though that would probably take a miracle. I continued down the hallway, yelling at the top of my lungs for Ryan. A few people who ran past me looked at me weird. Others looked at me with sympathy.
“Kat!,” I hear a shout in the distance. I am quick to move towards the voice. Please, please be okay. Man, I hadn’t felt this emotion in years. The panic of losing someone.
“Ryan!,” I yelled again, as I continued to move forward.
“Kat!,” the shout sounds closer. Almost close enough to touch. I run a bit more and then come face to face with Ryan. She is smiling at me. I feel my legs give out as I hold her face to make sure she is okay. She giggles as I look her over. She has quite a few scratches that weren’t there before. They aren’t too bad though. So that was good. Though I looked at the radio in her hand was confused.
“Where did you get that?,” I questioned her. Ryan smiled and held the radio up.
“His name is Frenzy. Or at least that is what he said,” Ryan said. I stared for a second, and then the light bulb pinged. Tiny robot from before.
“Okay. Well, we need to go and meet up with the others. You might want to be careful with showing off Frenzy. He probably doesn’t want to be found out,” I said, as I stood back up. Ryan nodded and held onto the radio a little harder. Ryan giggled a bit as I picked her up. I wasn’t gonna lose her again so easily. I started making my way towards the AllSpark room. Sam and them will be in there soon.

Chapter Text

Kat POV

We quickly hurry towards the room that holds the AllSpark.We arrive with enough time to watch Bumblebee reach up towards the Cube, touching the corner and making circle motions. The Cube starts having a reaction. It starts flashing and lighting up. It then starts breaking down into a smaller Cube.
"Wow," Ryan and I quietly gasp. I hear a small gasp from Bunny too. I chuckle a bit.
"Message from star fleet, Captain. ——— Let's get to it," Bee says, through the radio? Huh, don't have a voice box or something. Or whatever their species calls it. It's cool though.
"He's right. We stay here, we're screwed with Megatron in the other hanger. Mission City is 22 miles away," says the Captain, "we're gonna sneak that Cube out of here and we're gonna hide it somewhere in the city." Oh wow, even if I didn't come to the dam, my day still would have ended up being in a war zone. But then I wouldn't have Bunny, and even though I have only had him for a few minutes. If something were to happen to him, I would kill everyone in the room and then myself. (:0 *gasp* a reference) Well, maybe except for Ryan and Frenzy.
"Good! Right," says the SoD.
"But we cannot make a stand without the Air Force," Captain comments.
"This place must have some kind of radio link!," says SoD.
"Sir, you got to figure out some way to get word out to them. Let's move!," says Captain. The conversation of the radio continues as we leave.
"All right, Sam, get it in the car!," Captain yells, as Bumblebee transforms into, oh he's got a new look, I thought he looked different from before. I quickly slide into the back seat and I'm handed the Cube. Nice.
I pat the seat, "nice new look, just now realized," I said with a small chuckle. I hear Bumblebee thank me through the radio. I smiled.

Narrator POV

"Warning! NBE One cryo-containment failing," says the intercom as the power continues to flicker. The scientist and other workers are trying their best to keep Megatron frozen. Though sadly, that won't work. Chaos is everywhere as we switch from team to team seeing everyone else freak out in the background.
We are then shown Megatron as he has melted enough to move. He starts breaking from the binds that hold him. We see as one of those binds pulls a human with it, and that human hits Megatron's shoulder. That man is most likely dead now.
"I am Megatron," he growls. And finally breaks free from the rest of the binds and ice that hold him in place. Killing many humans in the process.

Kat POV

"The Cube's okay?," asks Sam.
"Yeah, it's fine," I answer, rolling my eyes. What is it gonna do? Jump out the window, it doesn't seem to be sentient like the robots.
"Put the seat belt on it," Sam said.
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me," I grumble, though I still listen and put a seat belt on the Cube. Ryan giggled quite a bit at that. She sat in the seat with Frenzy on her lap. I reached over and ruffled her hair. She cried out in betrayal, as I laughed a bit.

Narrator POV

"Pour it on him!," shouts one of the armored men as they try to refreeze Megatron. It honestly only makes the mech more mad and more hostile. Megatron, finally being done with being annoyed by humans, does a maneuver and turns himself into his Cybertronian jet form. He then takes off blowing back a lot of debris that he had created in his fight. He flys out the tunnel coming out of a tunnel near the Hoover Dam. He then flies up missing the Hoover Dam and then transforms back into his robot form before landing on the ground to the side of the river. Starscream coming down from atop the Hoover Dam and landing on a lower platform on the Hoover Dam, but still remaining above his master.
"I live to serve you, Lord Megatron," Starscream says.
"Where is the Cube?," demands Megatron.
"The humans have taken it," answers Starscream. Megatron then growls looking down at his servos to flex them for the first time in a while.
He then looks up to Starscream still growling, "you fail me yet again, Starscream. Get them!," Megatron bellows.

Kat POV
We were driving down the road to get to Mission City.
"There's Optimus," I hear Sam say, as he points to a Semi heading down the opposite way.
"Who?," I asked, as both me and Ryan looked out the window at the semi.
"He's the leader of the Autobots," Sam said, short and sweet. Well, at least he got to the point. I notice the semi apply its brakes. I quickly turn around to see the semi and the three other cars behind it, u-turn around to follow the army vehicles.
"Cool, but ouch tire burn," I mumble under my breath. It's starting to feel like one of the movies that I like to watch, heh. I won't complain about that too much, hopefully. We now continue on towards Mission City, our line of cars is now longer.

We made it to the highway. Most of the cars had spread out in a way to keep others away from me, Ryan, Mikeala, Sam, Bee, and the AllSpark(and little Bunny and unknowingly Frenzy too). I hear the sound of a police siren going off. Barricade? Oh no, we are about to go for a ride.
"Uh, is that a police car with, man, I don't even know what that vehicle is, but one of them is a tank," I announced to the rest of the car, "and well, they're knocking people off the road" Mikeala and Sam look back to see what I was talking about. Ryan even takes a peek. I laughed a bit at her trying to turn around with Frenzy still on her lap.
"Oh now, that one was really uncalled for," I comment, as I see the unknown vehicle flip one of the cars up and over it.
"No, no, no, no, no," Sam says.
"What?," both me and Mikeala ask.
"It's the same cop!," Sam says in a panic, "Block them, block them, block them." I then see Optimus pull his brakes, what is he doing? I then notice the unknown vehicle speed up ahead of the others. The unknown vehicle then transforms and races forward. I then see Optimus transform, his is not as smooth as the others but it is probably because he transformed while moving and his wheels aren't at the bottom of his feet. He does make a car go off the road though, yikes.
"Oh, my god," says Mikeala. I then witness the unknown robot crash through a bus, making itself catch a blaze. Wow, that was also, so not necessary. It then comes completely at Optimus and tackles him down off a bridge. Wait, where did the bridge come from.(I am making fun of the transition here, watch this part of the movie closely and you'll see it.) I guess, their fight will be down there. Good luck, I guess.
“Woah, so cool!,” Ryan squealed, she lifted Frenzy up enough so he could see out the window. I cock an eyebrow, but then laugh at her. Yep, I would happily now say this kid is mine.

Chapter Text

The cars came to a stop outside of a pawn shop in Mission City. The army men were stopping here to get shortwave radios it seems. Or well, walkie talkies. As we headed back down the street, I thought about all the people who had no idea what was coming. Even if we tried to warn them now, the word would not make it all the way around the city in a short time. In enough time even. I looked over at Ryan as she looked around with excitement. I chuckled a bit at that. I noticed Bumblebee had stopped again. Then again, we were supposed to be getting in contact with jets that were supposed to help us. Was one of them spotted? Everyone was told to exit Bumblebee, and we all did so. I held the AllSpark in my hands and was quick to put Bunny in my bag. Just in case, I didn’t want to lose the little one.
“Green smoke is the mark,” I hear one of the army men say into the walkie talkie as a jet is seen flying over. I feel my stomach twist a bit. Something does not seem right. I feel a tug on my arm, I look down to see Ryan. I give her a confused look.
“That jet is flying too low. I don’t think it is the Jet we are waiting for,” Ryan said. I could hear and see the fear in her. I pulled her into me. I hoped she wasn’t right, but I also felt it in my soul that she was most likely right. I watch the jet circle around and head back towards us.
“It’s Starscream!,” the truck shouts as he transforms. I am quick to grab Ryan and even maneuver to grab Sam and Mikaela. I noticed how no one else seemed to hear the truck. Sam and Mikaela looked at me in confusion.
“We need to move, get out of the way!,” I shouted as I went towards one of the alleyways off to the side.
“Back up! Take Cover! Bumblebee!,” the truck continued to yell. Sam and Mikaela moved away from my hand, but continued in the same way I had been taking them. I focused on moving Ryan towards the alley.
“Head towards the alleyway!,” I yelled. I hear the sound of something being shot. I quickly pulled Ryan close using my body to shield her from whatever was coming our way. An explosion is heard from behind me as pressure sends me and Ryan flying. I curl my body around Ryan to protect her the best that I can. I feel my head hit hard. I laid there for a minute. The pain grew over my body, slowly but surely.
“Fuck,” I groan. I looked down at Ryan to make sure she was okay. I heard a whine from her as she slowly uncurled.
“You okay?,” I asked. Ryan nodded slowly as she looked down at Frenzy. I slowly sit up. Ryan separates from me and holds Frenzy on her lap. I move my bag and check on Bunny. I hear a chitter as Bunny looks up at me. I chuckled a bit and patted the robot’s excitement. I then realized I didn’t have the Allspark anymore. I looked around looking for the cube. I noticed it was not too far from us. I slowly stood up and walked over to it and grabbed the cube. I could hear the ringing in my ears and I got up a little too fast. I closed my eyes for a bit in hopes my eyesight would stop going in and out. I hear a small groan and look over to see Sam and Mikaela.
“Are you two okay?,” I asked them. I get a groan in response. I notice the both of them slowly sit up and start to look around.
“Oh my god,” I hear Sam shout as he heads out of the alleyway. I watched after him and saw Bumblebee. I gasped when I realized what was wrong.
“Bumblebee? No. Your legs!,” I hear Sam shout. I shake my head a bit as I hold my hand out for Ryan. Ryan grabs hold and I pull her up. She continues to hold Frenzy tight to her chest. I chuckled a bit at that. I hold the cube close to my own chest. I looked around at all of the destruction. I felt Ryan’s hand shake in mine. I gripped onto her hand harder as I looked back at her. I shouldn’t have brought Ryan with me. I regret that. Ryan should have not been shown such violence at such a young age.
"What was that!," I heard the Captain say to one of his soldiers.
"What are you talking about?," the soldier said back.
"What do you mean, what am I talking about? They shot at us!," Captain said.
"F-22 pilots would never fly below buildings. That's alien. That ain't friendly!," the soldier said back. I can also hear Sam starting to panic over Bumblebee.
"You gotta get up. You're okay. You're okay," Sam was saying. I shook my head at the panic in Sam’s voice. I slowly walked over to him. I placed the Allspark on the sidewalk and pulled Sam over to the sidewalk. I pulled Sam into a one arm hug.
"Sam, calm down. I know it's hard. But right now the last thing Bee can do is stand. You are panicking right now because you are not used to a situation like this. And neither am I. But you can't take your panic out on Bee," I said, trying my best to watch my words, but trying to calm down Sam. I looked at Mikaela and waved her to come over. She comes to both mine and Sam's sides and holds on. I also feel a tighter grip on my hand. I looked down to see Ryan as she looked around, scared. I can tell all three of them are close to crying. And if it wasn't for the fact that I had trained myself to numb my emotions, I honestly would have broken down with them. But right now is not the time to cry and believe everything is going wrong. I pulled all of them into a hug, and I heard a few sobs. I look over to the army men, I hope the true Air Force is coming.
The sad moment was then interrupted by the sound of something being shot off. It's the tank. Sam and Mikeala pull away to also look towards the tank. Ryan grips on more to my side.
"Oh come on, you couldn't even give a minute to breathe,'' I said with a groan. I hear a small and short laugh from Ryan, Sam, and Mikaela. It's good to know they're back. I turned to look at Bee, he had made his way over to where we were, and I looked around for something, almost anything to help him at this moment. Both me and Mikaela notice the tow truck over in the other alley. I watch Mikaela run over to it, I'm gonna leave her be, I mean, she has a juvie record for a reason, right? I walk towards the Allspark and pick it up again. I then made my way over to Sam who was still panicking a bit over Bumblebee.
"I'm not gonna leave you," Sam says to Bee. I feel a tug on my arm, I turn around to Ryan.
“Will he be okay?,” Ryan asked. I felt a pit settle in my stomach as I looked back at Bumblebee. I then remembered that the Allspark had rebuilt Frenzy’s body, so what was stopping it from doing the same with Bumblebee’s. I looked down at the cube.
“Please help us. I’ve seen you be able to rebuild the body of Frenzy. Could you do the same for Bumblebee?,” I whispered towards the cube as I walked forward towards Bumblebee.
“Please work,” I whispered again. As I walked closer to Bee. I felt a bit of static come off of the cube and I felt warmness enter my body. I shivered a bit at the feeling. I looked towards Bumblebee and sighed a bit. I focused on him and then down where his legs would be at.
“Please at least give him his legs back,” I whisper-yelled at the cube. The static got big and I felt quite a few shocks, I continued to hold the Allspark despite the pain. I shut my eyes tight and bit my tongue to keep from crying out. I felt the pain all through my body. It hurts so much. Then it was gone. The pain was gone. I opened my eyes and found myself smiling at the sight in front of me. Sam sat there shocked and Bumblebee was looking at his newly formed legs. I then winced when I felt a ping in my head. It felt like a migraine slowly forming. I groaned a bit.
“Kat!,” I hear both Sam and Ryan yell. I feel myself being caught. I looked up to see Bumblebee and I smiled at the bot. I didn’t realize that I was falling until I was caught. I chuckled a bit and slowly tried to stand back up on my own. I then hear a commotion that has my attention real quick. I look over to see three Autobots team up against one of the Decepticons. I wondered if they really needed three of them to take down just one. I groaned again and held my head as it pounded throughout my whole body. Man, I do not feel too good. I then feel my body give out.
“Shit,” was the word that came out of my mouth as I fall to the ground. Though, I don’t think I even hit the ground.

I wake up to the sound of Sam yelping. I quick shoot up and then was quick to grab my head.
“Fuck,” was all that I could muster to say.
"Listen to me! You're a soldier now! Alright! I need you to take the Cube, get it into military hands while we hold them off, or a lot of people are gonna die,” were the words I heard. I looked over and saw that one of the army men had Sam up against a tow truck. Why was he doing that? I then registered the words the man had said.
“Hey, he is just a kid!,” I shouted towards him. This caused both of them to look at me. I winced at the pounding of my head. I shouldn’t have yelled.
“Kat?!,” Sam says in shock. Sam quickly gets loose from the army man’s grip and rushes over to me. I then realize I’m being held by Bumblebee. How did I just now realize that?
“Kat!,” I hear Ryan say. She runs over from beside Mikaela. I have the both of them as close as they could get while I was still in Bumblebee’s grip.
“Yes? I’m alive, I promise,” I said confused. It doesn’t look like much time has passed. Ryan starts to cry and I was quick to reach over and pat her head. I then leaned over with my other hand to ruffle Sam’s hair. I then slowly slid off of Bumblebee’s hand and looked towards the bot.
“Thanks, I guess,” I said with a small smile. The smile then dropped as I looked back towards the army man.
“Why are you asking a child to go out on a battlefield by themself? That’s pretty much suicide. Since I'm back now, let me do it,” I said. Sam was quick to grab my arm.
“No, you don’t have to Kat, I can do it,” Sam said. The army man’s face paled and he shook his head.
“That is not a good idea. You just came back to consciousness for being passed out. That is even more of a suicide,” The man said.
“Oh, so sending out a kid isn’t bad, but sending me out is?,” I said. I walked closer to him. I felt a grip on both of my hands and I turned to see both Sam and Ryan. I sighed and looked back at the soldier.
“Okay, then, how about a compromise? Both me and Sam will go,” I said. I know my aunt and uncle would cry some tears if Sam died, and I didn’t want to have to deal with that. The soldier looked complex and then sighs and nods.
“Okay, but you two need to get moving now,” the man said, as he went to walk off.
“I’ll go too,” i hear Ryan say. I was quick to turn around to her and shake my head. I slowly bent down to her height.
“No, you are to stay with Bumblebee and Mikaela,” I said. I then looked down at the player in her arms.
“And you need to protect Frenzy,” I whispered. Ryan looked a bit scared until I said that part. I then bent down a little more.
“Try not to get her in trouble,” I whispered towards the player. I then stood back up and saw that Sam had gone over to Mikaela. I held my hand out to Ryan and walked over to the two of them. Ryan was quick to go with Mikaela and I quickly went with Sam. I grabbed the cube off the back of the tow truck and grabbed Sam’s hand. He was hesitant at first, but then tightened the grip. We quickly walked towards the two Autobots in front of us.
"Sam and..," I noticed the truck looking at me in confusion.
"Kat," I said with a smile.
"Sam and Kat, we will protect you," the truck said. I smiled once again.
"Thank you/okay,'' said me and Sam with a nod.

"Get to the building! Move!," the truck shouted. We both ran as fast as we could, as the two robots kept the cover between us and the other robots. Sam turned to look back and I grabbed him, pulling him closer to me to keep him from hitting a car door.
"Watch out," the truck says, grabbing a car to block the missile sent our way. It sends him flying back and I continue to pull Sam along. I pull Sam down to duck as the other robot turns into a helicopter.
"Keep moving, you two!," says the truck as he runs beside us, "don't stop!" We ran past them, dodging people who were also running. A helicopter comes close to the ground in front of us. It transforms and cuts up a car and knocks it through the window of a cafe. Sam goes to stop, I grip his hand tighter and run past the robot with him.
"Now's not the time to be gripped by fear," I tell Sam. He nods slightly as we run on. I see the jet from earlier coming down, I feel myself getting pulled down as Sam hits the ground to dodge it. I pull Sam and myself to the side, as the now transformed jet kicks a bunch of the cars. I use my body to shield Sam from whatever could come near. I could feel him shaking underneath me. I can hear the robots fighting, it doesn't sound too good. I hear the sound of the jet transforming back. Oh, right, I think the truck said his name was Starscream.
"Sam, Kat, get to the building!," I hear the truck yell. I quickly stand up, dragging Sam with me.
"Come on, we need to go," I say to Sam. He nods once more, and we break back into running. As we continue to run, I hear the sound of transforming behind us. Oh no, is it that jet again?
"Give me the Cube!," I hear growling behind us. Don't look back Kat, that won't end well. I do notice that Sam looks back and pales.
"Its, its Megatron," Sam whimpers. I grip his hand tighter and keep running. There are cars coming our way. I quickly switch places with Sam, and get hit by a car. Lucky not too hard, but hard enough to leave a bruise.
"Kat, Kat," Sam says, panicking.
"I'm fine," I assure him. I quickly grab his hand again and start running again. I had felt a surge go through the cube, and there was no way I was sticking around. We continue to run and I finally see the building, we make it to the door and I hand Sam the Cube.
"What, what are you doing?," Sam stopped and asked.
"You are gonna take the Cube to the top and light the flare. I'm gonna try to give you some time," I say.
"But, but," Sam tries to make up any excuses for me to go with him.
"No, Sam, you need to do it. Okay. You can do it," I say as I push him into the building, "now go, before Megatron comes." He looks at me, I can see the fear and uneasiness in his eyes, but he understands and starts for the stairs. I walk in behind Sam, I see him make it to the stairs and start up them.
"Please, make it, and don't die. Please, don't die," I say quietly as I try to reassure myself. Though before I can do that, Megatron busts through a window. Okay, distraction Kat, you have to be a distraction.
"Hey big man, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?!," I yell towards Megatron. I almost want to punch myself in the face for that. Why, out of all the different things I could have done to make a distraction. Why was my first thought and action a pick-up line? I mean, it worked, cause he stopped to look at me, but at what cost. Yeah, I think I broke the man, well, the distraction was good at least. Although he is way too close to me for comfort, I mean he's like 6 normal steps for him, away from me. I don't know if I should run or if I should walk away.
Megatron finally clicks out of the confusion I put him in, but continues to stare at me. He seemed to be looking for something, ah, I think he realized I didn’t have the cube. He face turned into a scowl and he went back into warlord mode.
"I smell you, boy!," he shouts. Yeah, it's my time to get out of the way or at least get a good distance. I quickly walk the opposite way of where he is at. Why he is ignoring me and only going after my cousin, idk , because he has the Cube or because the dumb author is trying to stay similar to the movie.(*pulls out sparkly duct tape* gotta repair the fourth wall.) Megatron then jumps through the ceiling, well at least this is an old and unused building. Though I need to exit said building. I hope Sam was able to get a good head start.
I see the helicopters come closer to the building and the faint sound of Sam's voice. He made it to the top. I sigh.
"Thank whatever god is watching," I mumble. I feel so much pain surging through my body. I haven't moved that much in so long. I am going to start working out after this and maybe take some self defense classes, cause there is only so much I can do. I smile as I look up at the helicopters, but then imminently drop it when I see Starscream land on a nearby building.
"You got to be fucking kidding me," I say. I can still hear Megatron making his way through the floors, and I think he is almost to the top.
"Oh Sam, please make it. I don't know what will happen if you don't," I say. I then witness Starscream using one of his missiles to shoot down the copter that was supposed to take the Cube.
"Sam!!!," I scream. The missile hits the copter and it moves towards the building where Sam should have been, "no, no, no ,no, no." I feel the tightness in my throat slowly making its way to my chest.
"Sam's okay. Sam's okay. He will be fine," I try to assure myself, I haven’t felt this much panic in years. I feel my legs give out from under me. I cover my ears in an attempt to block out the sounds. And before I knew it, I hit the ground. I see the black dots slowly start to cover my vision. Why? Now's not the time to have this, why? Why must I be so weak?

I wake up to the smell of smoke. I immediately shot up, I looked around to see the building I had told Sam to go into. I sigh, is the fight over yet? Is the FIGHT over with!? I immediately stand up and almost fall back down. I sighed a bit and then slowly stood back up and started walking to where I heard commotion. Because running isn't exactly a great thing to do after being out for who knows how long. And the fact that my body at the moment was running on adrenaline and concern. I look to see Optimus tripping Megatron and Megatron looking extremely beat up. So much for asking for his side, cause it doesn't look like he will last long. Megatron still makes an effort to get Sam. I see Optimus telling Sam to put the cube in his chest. Sam then turns around and instead inserts it into Megatron. The Cube, supposedly being raw power, seems to do major damage to Megatron. Killing him it seems.
"You left me no choice, brother," I hear Optimus' voice carry as he stands over Megatron. I watch as everyone comes close together, I smile a bit. This war may have caused great chaos and destruction here, but we made some new and unique friends. I even found a kid I could almost call my own, along with having a literal tiny robot kid who was my own. I start blanking out, heh, I guess having a panic attack and passing out didn't give me enough rest. The last thing I see before I black out again is Sam and Ryan running towards me as I fall.

Chapter Text

It's not fun waking up in a hospital bed hooked up to an IV. Uh, I hate needles. Just seeing it in my skin sent shivers down my spine. I'll be let out today, luckily. Though I was instructed to stay at my aunt and uncle's house for a few days at least. Just to make sure I'm stable. That's fine, though I'll have to pay my pet sitter more.

"Kat, you ready to go," says Sam, looking at me with a smile.
"Yes, I'm ready to get out of this fucking place. Are you perhaps my ride?," I ask.
"Yeah, I'm actually taking you to meet the rest of the Autobots first," he whispered.
"Well ain't that great," I said with a smile. We walk out and I see Bee in his car form. I slide into the passenger seat.
I patted the dash, "How have you been Bee?," I asked. A rumble of the engine answers my question. I then hear the sound of clicking.
I look over to see, "Bunny, oh, my baby, I'm sorry that I have been gone for a while," I say as I hold the tiny con close. He clicked even more, snuggling up to my cheek.
"Yeah, I thought you might want to see him. Because he sure wanted to see you," said Sam. I laughed a small bit as the tiny con crawled down and snuggled into my neck.
"He didn't cause too much trouble, right?," I asked .
"No.... Maybe a little. He wouldn't let the rescue team near you. I had to grab him when he let his guard down. Bee did his best to explain to him that they were just trying to help you," Sam explained. I laughed a little bit.
"Little Bunny was trying to protect momma. That's sweet," I whispered with a smile, as I patted Bunny's head.
"Well, I can't wait to meet the rest of the team," I said.
"How did you feel when you first met them?," I asked Sam

"With the All Spark gone, we cannot return life to our planet. And fate has yielded its reward, a new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage. And though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here. We are waiting."

It feels weird going from an almost apocalyptic world, back to your normal everyday life. My babies were happy to see me again though. Jewels said that they missed me very much. I could see that, as of the moment I was washing the dishes and I was surrounded by them. I had my dogs at my feet, the cats surrounding the sink on the nearby counter space, and Bunny curled up on my shoulder. They were at first shocked, I guess, to find out they have a new little brother. Though they weren't as shocked as Sam whenever I said I would keep the baby Decepticon. I sigh, they are always like this when I get back from a trip.
I hear the sound of an engine rumble in my front yard.
"Huh, no one I know is coming today," I said as I slowly peeked out my kitchen window.
I caught a glimpse of a cop car, "Barricade?," I said, quickly putting the glass on the drying rack, putting Bunny on the counter, and ran to my garage.
