Chapter 1:

Morning in small college town was usually quiet. Expect for two humans moving about in and out of the house. "I am telling you this is going to be fun." A young man stated while pulling out a suitcase from a small town house towards a SUV looking car.

Following him was a Hispanic looking girl, in her mid-twenties with long black hair and a slim body. "I am not saying it won't be, but a traveling with you is something I need to be ready for." She returned with a small to the young man who was her same age.

"Quick question why I am the only one packing the….car…." Hi voice trailed off as his eyes saw a large shadow appear behind the care. The girl gasps and while this shadow closed in on her friend. "Stay…stay back! I have ahhhh." He dropped the suitcase and picked up a stick from the yard, "A stick."

The figure took another step and with the sun coming up the group saw a dark blue robotic figure standing there, holding another light blue similar looking figure in his arms. They were both damaged. "Please I wish you no harm, he needs help. We need help."

The two humans looked at one another. "Kent…" The girl began to start she looked at the face of her scared friend trying to think of something. She looked back and looked to the face of this thing, person, and see could see the worry and pain. "Kent, bring them inside."

"What? Melina, we don't…." He started.

"Don't argue with me, his looks hurt." She explained causing the man to drop the stick in defeat. She walked in the house and left the door open for the other three. Kent walked over the two bots and helped them inside, keeping a very skeptical eye on them both. "You can put him on the couch."

The dark blue bot looked over, "I fear his weight would break it."

"He can't it's already broken." Replayed Kent closing the door behind them. With no argument left the bot placed his friend on the couch. The couched seemed to groan a little bit as the body of the injured bot laid on it.

"Don't take me out coach." He responded looking over to his friend grabbing his shoulder.

The other bot placed his hand on it. "Don't worry you still have some rounds left in you." He then stood up and looked back to the couple. "Thank you, we needed a place to rest."

"Ummm, you're welcome. But, who are you?" Kent asked. Not liking the idea of inviting unknown robots into his home.

"My name is Rewind and this is Eject, were Autobots." He told them. "I guess I should have explained a bit more before asking you for help." He admitted apologetically.

While Rewind was talking to Kent, Melina had walked over to Eject lying on the couch and looked at his wounds. Melina was a nurse and even though she never saw an Autobot up close, she could tell Eject was in some pain. "Oh you poor guy," She said quietly then looked up at Rewind, "What happened?"

"Decepticons," he said bluntly. "We were on a reconnaissance mission when we stumbled upon a hidden base just outside of town. It was stocked full of weapons and energon."

"Tell him about the homerun we got." Eject interrupted on the couch.

"Homerun?" Kent asked raising an eyebrow.

Rewind just waved his hand, "Eject has taken to your Earth Sports. So he talks in your sports phases he has learned here." He explained. "The 'homerun' was the data we found of locations to a number of other hidden stock piles. I quickly scanned the information and we were about to leave when we were discovered."

"By whom?" Melina asked, looking back to Ejects wounds.

"By two nasty seekers. They go by the name of Trust and Ramjet." Rewind told them. "We put up a good fight, but we were no match for them." He said sadly. "Eject got the worse of it. We needed a place to hide and let some of our internal repair systems work, that's when we found you."

He suddenly went quite as the group then hard some jets pass over head of the town. Rewind and Eject just looked at each other in a moment then to the humans who have given them shelter. They were both worried they have dragged them into something they shouldn't have. A moment later they passed.

"They're looking for us." Rewind whispered to himself.

Kent walked over to Melina and pulled her away for a moment. "Um, make yourself at home guys. Be right back." He said. He then turned to his girlfriend, "Not trying to be a jerk, but do you believe this?" He asked.

Melina looked back to the two and then to Kent, "I do, they sound like they are telling the truth." She looked back. "We should try and help them." She said causing Kent to look over confused.

"Help them? Help them with what?" Kent on the other hand seemed not as trusting of the two Autobots. "I have seen a lot of news of the Autobots, but I don't ever remember these two." He said.

Melina shook her head, "That doesn't mean there bad, if they wanted to something to us, they would have." She returned.

While the couple argued quietly, Rewind went over to his friend lying on the couch. "How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Like I was run over by a whole defensive line," He groaned a bit, "You get your com-link working yet?" He asked.

Rewind sighed sadly, "No, we need to get this information back to base, before the Cons' move those hideouts."

Eject agreed, "So what's the game plan?" He asked.

"I will head out while you rest here, they will send someone out looking for us when we don't check in and I will get them to bring you back." He stated.

Eject moved up to a sitting position. "Oh no, you're not going out there by yourself. Not when you got brutes like Trust and Ramjet looking for us. I am going too." He stated grabbing at Rewinds arm.

"You can barely move you're not coming." Rewind said sternly.

"Um guys." came the voice behind them. The cassettes looked over to the humans. "Maybe we can help. But, first I need to know for a fact your Autobots." Kent said crossing his arms.

Eject and Rewind just looked at each other and shrugged a bit. Rewind pulled out a metal card from his space pocket and pulled it and showed the two, at first it was blank but when Rewind moved his hand over it an Autobot insignia appeared. "These are what you would call our 'dog tags' they only activate to their owner's circuitry, much like human finger prints they are unique. Will this be good enough?" He asked.

Kent just went wide looking at it. He shook his head and nodded, "Yeah I think it is." He then got an elbow in his side from Melina for not believing her. He then looked back, to the confused cassettes. "Ok, here is the offer seeing as you two need a way to head back we will take you there."

The Autobots looked at each other and then to them. "No." They said in unison.

"What!?" Melina asked, pushing her way in front of Kent.

"Just by us been here we have put you in too much danger. We cannot ask you to risk your lives for this." Rewind told her.

Melina just put her hands on her hips. "Too bad, I may be a nurse to humans, but I can see by looking at you two they you won't make it to the city limits before you shut-down. We can take you were you need to go and those, dece…decp…"

"Decepticons." The three said in unison.

"Right those guys won't notice you if your hidden with us. There is more than enough room in the back of Kent's car to fit you. And since they won't be looking for a car we can sneak out and get you back in no time." She finished. Her speech leaving the Autobots pretty much speechless looked over to Kent.

"I would listen to her." He said knowing full well you can't win an argument with her.

"Rewind huddle." Eject said pulling his friend in and they whispered to each other for a few moments. After that they turned back up. "Looks like you two win this round. What's the plan?"

Kent smiled, "You guys ever been on a road trip?"
