J: Look at what a horrible person I am! I am doing yet another self-insert when I already have a few of those going already and I only recently started two new fanfictions that for the time being are going to be left alone for a bit. I am truly sorry to those that are waiting in eager anticipation for the update of 'Family to Friends' and 'Hide-Seek-Run' but my current interests shifted back over to Transformers Prime. For those of you reading this I thank you AND can guarantee that this will be a complete fanfiction because I have everything written already :)

Disclaimer: I do not own any TFP characters, and Mina owns herself.

Life for Mina Hall was going rather smoothly for once. Her goal of getting into the Air Force was only a few steps away now that she'd passed her physical exam, come December she would be going into training that would last 8 ½ weeks. With her job at McDonalds to keep her occupied the time would pass in a blink of an eye. Though there was one downside to this.

During her eight weeks she wouldn't be able to contact her spark sister. They weren't related by any sort of biological means but their spark bond was all the proof they needed to know they were siblings. If they didn't have an obsession with the Transformers franchise they would never have known each other or come to realize what they had. Any spare time in the evening or even the morning was spent talking to each other online, sometimes using video chat so they could see and hear each other. Without each other to talk to about their fandom obsessions they were likely to go crazy.

At first it had been the Transformer movies that had drawn them together, at present their obsession had turned to the television series called Transformers: Prime. Mina particularly liked their rendition of Soundwave; it was much closer to the G1 original than the movie version. Being a Decepticon supporter had nothing to do with her attraction towards the emotionless mech, it was more a mix of admiration and the challenge he would present that drew her towards him. Because of her attraction to Soundwave Mina was constantly rolling her eyes at all of Jenna's tentacle innuendos, which were frequent when they were present in the newest episodes.

Thinking on her favourite mech Mina came to a realization, "Where is my Decepticon wrist band?" The simple black fabric band with the Con logo was her most cherished memorabilia and it had not crossed her sight in what she guessed to be weeks.

Having just come home and changed from her work uniform into comfortable jeans, basic purple t-shirt and black hoodie she was free to scramble around her house without running into any family members since they were all out doing something or other. A search through her room lead to negative results, so did her sister's room and the bathroom, leaving the most likely place to be the living room or the laundry.

On all fours to look under the furniture Mina muttered curses, "I bet it was one of the cats again. Evil cats probably support the Autobots." She lifted each cushion on the couch and the chair and still couldn't find a trace of the black treasure. A light thud from her left had her turn to find her sister's cat Moonlight sitting on the floor with her wrist band in its mouth. " You! Give that back!" Mina made a dash for the cat, who in turn dropped the wrist band and took off running for the nearest hiding spot.

Beloved wrist band in hand Mina sighed in relief, "I need to keep you on me at all times it seems." That said she put it on her wrist and smiled in content. The material was beginning to fray and thin out but it would last at least another year of long term use before threatening to come undone. That small errand taken care of she now had a couple hours to kill before she needed to go get supper ready for the family that would return for the night.

Upstairs in her now slightly dismantled room Mina went onto her computer, unless Jenna was having internet problems (again) she was supposed to be online. Her phone worked pretty well in letting her text through Gmail but using the keyboard was always faster and less likely to send spelling errors. Signed on Mina was pleased to see that Jenna was online too.

Mina : *glomps*

Jenna: *hugs*

Mina: So guess what I unearthed today

Jenna: Uh...Clue?

Mina: It's something you wouldn't want to be caught dead without.

Jenna: ... You unearthed your D-Con wrist band?

Mina: ... The bond worked again.

Jenna: Hey I was just guessing and trying to be funny XD

Mina: Yea, Moonlight the evil cat had been hiding it on me.

Jenna: He must be an Autobot supporter :D

Mina: I was thinking the same thing right before he dropped it and ran away from me lol.

Jenna: Put your Soundwave action figure near him and see how he reacts XD

Mina: ... Seems I have another thing to unearth.

Jenna: (has signed off)

Mina glared at her computer wanting to reach through it and slap the internet connection that Jenna was plagued with, this happened once every other time they talked to each other and it was getting to be quite annoying. The annoyance changed to confusion as her screen went black with a slight bit of static just before dying outright. Frustrated to no ends Mina slammed the screen down and forced herself to count to ten. Mumbling incoherent Cybertronian curse words she opened the damned thing and hit the power button. It flickered on for a second then went black again. Pushing down the power button Mina all but growled, "No! You are not allowed to turn to scrap on me now! NitroSiren demands you turn on!" The screen turned on immediately and began to run the start up sequence. Pleased (and a bit creeped out that her made up Cybertronian name had worked) Mina let herself smile just a little. The smile vanished when the screen turned to static. Mina lifted the laptop up with the intention of throwing it across her room, but stopped when something flickered onto the screen.

Lowering it back to eye level she just about dropped it. In the middle of her screen in bold solid purple was the Decepticon symbol. The laptop placed on her bed Mina backed away with her eyes entirely focused on the computer, the symbol lasted until she reached her door, and at that point the screen went black once more and didn't flicker in any way.

Running back to the living room Mina pulled out her phone to message Jenna , "My computer just went crazy and I think I am too because I saw the Decepticon symbol on my screen." Jenna still appeared to be offline, Mina's nerves were so rattled that she couldn't keep standing. Sitting on her living room couch Mina's eyes spotted the X-Box 360 controller on the coffee table. "I just need to distract myself and then I will forget that ever happened and life will be normal again." Nodding in agreement with her own plan Mina turned on the TV and 360. The TV turned on no problem, the 360 refused to even light up its ring. A sense of dread rising in her chest Mina tried turning on the 360 through the controller and the machine itself. Neither button worked and the TV was no longer black but static. Sinking back onto the couch Mina closed her eyes and wished away the day so she could crawl into bed and just sleep away all this weirdness.

A loud noise like a hiss and pop drew her eyes back to the large plasma flat screen television. The static had cleared leaving black and green streaks on the screen, if not for the large Decepticon symbol in the middle of the screen Mina would have worried about being blamed for ruining the television. Sitting upright Mina tensed for the TV to explode or melt or anything sinister. She was not prepared for the screen to abruptly change into a familiar looking green, yellow, purple and white vortex, and she was entirely caught off guard by the large black metal snakes that began to ooze through the vortex.

Her mind held her body in place just so it could register that they were not snakes, but tentacles with claws on the end of them. They swayed this way and that in a manner that suggested they were surveying the objects of the room. When one tentacle then the rest turned to direct themselves straight at her Mina got into motion.

Vaulting over the back of her couch she ran for the doors that lead to the backyard. Frantic and scared she'd forgotten that the one door handle had problems that required a key to fix, a key that was sitting on the kitchen counter. Pulling and twisting the handle with all her strength she glanced over her shoulder to see how much time she had to fight with the damned door. The second she looked over her shoulder was the same second the tentacles reached her. With speed faster than she could keep track of they wound around her arms and legs, having her completely immobilized they pulled her back towards the vortex. Despite her restraints Mina struggled and fought against their hold, "Let me go! You've got the wrong person! It's the cat you want! No! Oh scrap..."

In a blaze of light that blinded her she was pulled into the vortex and was forced to watch as her home shrank and vanished into the light. The effects of the vortex were too much for her brain to handle causing her to black out just as she felt herself being pulled into a compartment of some kind.

J: I am promising this to you readers now, this fanfiction will be a completed one since I already have everything written. And there is so much to this story that I can update at least two or three times a week.
