Gosh I'm a nerd... doing a fan fic on transformers... Well, I'm not the first, so... yeah. Enjoy the story!(btw, this is just the prologue)
"Umm, sir!" A soldier monitoring the atmosphere called to his general.
"Yes, soldier?" The general said.
"There seems to be a large metal object hurtling through our atmosphere and it's not burning up. Is it an astroid or could it be... one of them." The soldier whispered the last part.
The general looked at the monitor. He swore every curse word from A-Z. It can't be. He thought, They wouldn't dare come back after last time.
"Soldier, where is it going to land?."
"A museum in Texas."
"Name of said museum?"
"Not sure, but it's right there." the soldier pointed to a museum. After that the general called the military to have them send troops to the museum.
"It was HUGE!" A women said on tv, "It scanned the Utahrapter skeleton and then ran off!" Jake looked at the TV. It had a few more eyewitnesses come on before ending the report. Giant robot? I bet it was just some government experiment, not an alien. Jake thought, Those were just stories. To cover up government tests.
Then he heard something in his back yard. He slowly got up and grabbed his baseball bat, which he used mainly for collage baseball. He slowly sneaked out and looked around. He saw a dark red form about twice his size. The form looked at him and jumped, as if in fright. And then it changed one second it was a large form, then it was only a raptor head taller than him. He looked at it. So they are real! He thought, amazed, And this one is frightened. I wonder, is it good, or bad. He decided to ask.
"D-decepticon or a-autobot?" Jake asked nervously.
"Neither." It said in a small voice, as though it were a mere child, "I am a rogue. Are you friend or foe."
"That depends. Are you going to kill me? If not, I'm a friend."
"No, I'm not going to kill you. Will you help me hide?" It asked hopefully. Jake looked at it nervously. He made a snap decision.
"Yeah. Follow me." He said, "I'm Jake, by the way."
"I'm Shadowsteel." It responded, "I was made for stealth." It said that like a catch phrase.
"Nice to meet you." Jake opened his garage and put Shadowsteel in it, "That should hide you well enough."
"Thank you." It said in its childish voice.
"No problem, My friend."
