Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers. I only own my character, and the plot.

This is my first time writing a fan fiction (and actually posting it) so no flames please. (If I need to fix anything or if something doesn't make sense please do tell me, just nicely. =]) This fanfic takes place about two years after Revenge of the Fallen, so this is kind of like my version of Transformers 3.

Chapter 1:

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"Mommy! Mommy! Look a shooting star! And it's really big too!" A little girl stood by her bedroom window looking out into the sky. A woman entered the little girl's bedroom, stood by her daughter and looked out at the night sky. The "star" had gotten bigger and bigger as it flew overhead. It also seemed to get closer to the family's house.

"Sweetheart, I don't think that's a shooting star…" The two watched as the "star" flew closer and closer to them. The mother and daughter saw the thing crash in a large explosion. It created an earthquake and destroyed the electrical wires underneath it.

"Mommy, I'm scared…" The little girl shook in fear.

"It'll be alright darling." The doorbell rang and the front door started opening, "That's your father. Go see him while I call the cops."

The little girl ran to her father while the mother dialed 911. As soon as her father opened the door, the little girl jumped in his arms.

"Daddy! Something's wrong. I'm scared."

"It will be ok." The mother came in the front room where the two were, cell phone in hand.

"I called the cops. They said that they'll investigate that thing right away."

"What happened?" the father asked.

"Something from space crashed near the power plant, the one beside the park. That's why the electricity is out."

"Let's just hope it's nothing bad…."

'And stay tuned for a special live news report.' Sam groaned and turned over in his bed. It was 5 in the morning and there were no classes today, but his roommate Leo was up at this hour, the TV. turned on full blast. Sam tried to block out the noise with his pillow but nothing was working. He grew annoyed because 1: there were no classes and he was up at 5 and 2: Leo had the TV on full blast which is why there is reason number one.

"Hey Leo! Will you turn that damn TV down! It's five in the morning! You probably woke up the whole college!" Sam yelled and threw a nearby book at the door connecting the front room and the bedroom. He heard fast footsteps then Leo opened the door.

"Dude! You gotta see this news report on TV! They're saying that something crashed in Philadelphia!'

"So? Why is that important?" Sam asked.

"They're talking about how the military took away the thing that crashed before anyone could actually see what it was!" Sam looked at Leo oddly, "that means it could be one of your Transformer friend/allies."

"Yeah right. I doubt tha-" Sam was cut off by the TV. 'Welcome back to your local news channel. Secretary of Defense, John Keller was here with us earlier, he says that it was only a U.S. satellite that fell on earth. The power plant still hasn't been repaired; people who live near the area still will not have any electricity until further notice.'

"Did you hear that? A satellite can't destroy a large power plant. It has to be a robot!"

Sam shook his head, and then his phone rang. He looked at his phone and saw it was his girlfriend Mikaela.

"Hello?"

"Get your stuff together. We need to go."

"What? Why?"

"You heard me. Get your stuff. I don't know why were leaving either, Bee came by my place and picked me up. He said something about going to NEST base."

"Alright. I'll be at the front in a bit. See you then." Sam hung up, then he grabbed his back pack, changed his clothes and proceeded out the campus.

"Hey man, where you heading to?" Leo asked when he saw Sam open their dorm door.

"The NEST base," Leo gave Sam a confused look, "You know the Autobot base, the one with the big robots. Bee and Mikaela are picking me up."

Leo finally remembered, then he went to go get his bag and then stood next to Sam. Sam looked at him oddly, "You wanna go with me?'

Leo smiled, "Hell yeah man. Even though your last robot-journey thing almost killed me, I still wanna go. I got to see if that thing that crashed was actually a robot. I can't afford to miss a thing like this! These things that I go to with you is like the most exciting part of my college life. Who knows when I'll get to do this again!"

Sam looked at Leo liked he was crazy, 'He's actually excited about going somewhere where he could probably be killed…' but Sam nodded anyways, he didn't think Bee or the other Autobots would mind. The two walked down to the front of the college campus where Mikaela and Bumblebee were waiting.

Autobot base, few hours earlier:

Things were quite crazy around base, the thing that crashed on earth was a transformer, Secretary John Keller wants to make the Autobots and their base known to the whole world, and to top it all off, no one knew where and what happened to Megatron. The Autobots were very worried; the bot that was just brought in had a lot of damage done to it. They all knew that the only thing that could do that much damage was another robot, most likely a Decepticon. Ratchet had been working on fixing up the damaged bot for the past 5 hours; the others were waiting near the med bay for the news. Their human allies were waiting there as well.

"Any of you have an idea of what attacked that robot you guys brought in?" Sergeant Robert Epps asked.

"Don't know." Ironhide answered, "It looked like an attack. Most likely by a Decepticon."

"Great, we have to fight. Again," Agent Simmons said, "Can't we have some peace for a few years?"

"It's already been two years." Major Lennox told him, "How long do you need?" Just then the door opened and Ratchet came out the med bay and stood next to Optimus Prime.

"So what's the status?" Optimus asked.

"From my scans when I repaired her, it's a femme. Apparently she's been here on earth for a while, why she didn't show herself earlier I have no idea, you'll have to ask her yourself when she wakes up," Ratchet paused, "The damages done to her were severe, but not enough to put her offline. I've fixed her up as well as I can, right now she's recharging but she should be up in a few hours."

Optimus nodded, "Is there anything else Ratchet?"

Ratchet sighed, he was somewhat afraid of hearing that, "Yes, I recognized some of the injuries on her. Some of our own had those same injuries after fighting two years ago."

"Prime, the injuries she had came from missiles. Decepticon ones…" Ratchet paused again, "Megatron and Starscream were the ones who gave her those dents and fractures."

Optimus' eyes widened when Ratchet said that, "Are you sure Ratchet?"

"Yes, some of the damage done to her was the same damage done to Jazz." (A/N: I don't think that's actually true but it works.)

"Alright then, someone tell Bumblebee to come over here, and bring Sam with him. We need to tell both of them. I have a feeling the upcoming battle is going to concern Sam…"
