imaginethat96's Notes: Okay, so finally I have gotten my first FanFic chapter ever! This takes place after Revenge of the Fallen, after the series finale of Moonlight and many generations after Dragon Ball GT. In mention of those three series, I do not own anything, their respective owners do including hummergray who so kindly let me use her Cybertron Time – Earth Comparisons (Go check out her profile if you're not familiar with it). Please leave a review, as it would mean a lot to me. Special thanks go out to MyLittleSongBird and Pie. who beta-ed, calmed my nerves and helped make my goal of publishing on FanFic a reality.

Oh yes I almost forgot… **…** means internal communication for Cybertronians,'…' means that the character is thinking to themselves, "…/…/…/…" means that Bumblebee is speaking through the radio.

Chapter 1: Revenge and Discovery

Outside the Big-Screen theater: Los Angeles, CA 00:18 PDT

From a distance, Barricade watched a boy and his friends. He reviewed the data packet that Soundwave had given him, not needing it to confirm that the second one was who he wanted: Mikaela Banes. Megatron hated Sam Witwicky with a passion; he wanted him to suffer. Barricade sharing the same hatred as his leader jumped at the chance to hurt Sam in the best way he could process, by offlining the ones the boy loved. The human known as Leo Spitz laughed at his own joke catching Barricade's attention. 'Perfect' he thought, he could terminate the girlfriend and the friend. He decided against this quickly, calculating that more pain would be inflicted if the friend lived to die another day.

A young girl's cell phone vibrated. She reluctantly looked at the message, 'Uncle Josef, Great! I finally get to see this guy Logan was talking about and good old Uncle Josef is probably worrying about me like I'm a defenseless four year old!' the teen complained to herself, rolling her eyes at the thought. She peered from the theater's rooftop watching a group of three people who were presumably only a few years older than she was. Of the group only the girl and one of the boys matched the vague descriptions of "Humans that were doing Strange Things" at the Mission City event that Logan had depicted to her. A breeze brought forth a strange scent, she breathed in heavily trying to recognize what it was to no avail. 'Smells like acid… mixed with blood? Then again, everything reminds me of blood,' the girl reasoned with herself while tying long gold hair back to try to get a better view of where and what the scent was coming from. The scent seemed to be coming from a police car hidden in a dark alleyway, the lack of light doing nothing to impair the girl's almost flawless night vision. She could not believe what she saw, 'The pointy face sign?' The teen mused before going into a stealth and battle ready condition, masking her energy levels and quieting her already slow heartbeat. As if on cue, the strange police car's engine revved in a manner that no earthy car could and the girl realized that it was speeding towards the spot directly below her where the people she was watching were oblivious to the peril that they were in. A single thought ran through her mind 'It's just a car -isn't it?' and then she jumped.

Bumblebee raced to his human friends furious that he had not detected and stopped the Decepticon earlier. The yellow and black Camaro caught the cop car off guard, T-boning Barricade's alt mode at full speed. Both bots transformed, ready to fight when Sam yelled, "Bee someone's hurt!" To the Autobot's surprise, Barricade simply smiled wickedly, transformed and retreated. Bumblebee transformed back in to a sleek muscle car and opened all his doors.

Bumblebee texted Sam, "Put the kid in my back seat. We need to get her to Ratchet NOW! Her heart is failing"

Mikaela read the text, "Wouldn't it be faster just to take her to the hospital?"

"Maybe," Bumblebee's next text replied, "but human doctors cannot patch up wounds from 'Cons like Ratchet can. Besides how would we explain it?"

"Right" Sam said while trying to calm down a distraught Leo who kept yelling "He was aiming for me! He wanted to kill me! He wanted me dead I tell you! DEAD!"

** Bumblebee to NEST HQ. Requesting immediate land bridge and Ratchet upon arrival. Human civilian severely damaged in attempt to stop assassination attempt on Sam, Mikaela and Leo from Barricade**

** NEST HQ to Bumblebee. Request accepted. Land bridge should be appearing now**

Leo, Sam, and Mikaela rushed to take the body of the unconscious girl out of Bumblebee's back seat before he transformed. Ratchet scanned the child as his young human friends placed her into his giant metal hand. "She's in cardiogenic shock," were the only words Ratchet muttered before racing into med bay with Red Alert.

The three humans, concerned about the kid, waited quietly outside the bed bay doors, while Bumblebee paced anxiously. "She saved our lives didn't she?" Mikaela solemnly asked breaking the silence.

Leo nodded in agreement when Bumblebee stopped and hit his head against the wall hard. "Whoa Bee! Whatcha do that for?" Sam probed, hating to see that his guardian was so angry with himself.

Mikaela and Leo looked up sympathetically at their Autobot best friend. "I know that/ you guys just wanted / a quiet night out/, but I could not bear the thought of/ one of you getting hurt/ because I wasn't there!"

"It's okay Bee. And look! We're all safe and you probably saved that girl's life by getting her to Ratchet so fast!" Sam said trying to comfort his best friend.

Bumblebee kept his faceplate on the wall; hiding the single stream of optical fluid that slowly fell down his metal cheek. "But she's the reason that you are/ still online! / Even though I was there /if she was not/… I'm so sorry/ if I had been a better /guardian…"

"Stop it Bee! You are the best guardian! If we had bothered to look up the street we would have recognized Barricade and then got out of the way, instead of being totally clueless!" Mikaela chided, before giving Bumblebee's leg a hug.

Hours later Ratchet opened the med bay's doors, finding that Bumblebee, Ironhide, Optimus Prime and the humans (now including Major Lennox) waiting for news on the girl's condition. "You may see her now," Ratchet stated, aware to what they all wanted. Bumblebee gently lifted his smaller friends up to the human sized bed on top of the huge bot sized berth. Cybertronian medical equipment surrounded a child that looked no older than seventeen. Mikaela brushed blonde hair out of the girl's eyes, hoping desperately that she wasn't dead and that somehow the motherly gesture would wake her up.

"What's wrong with her Doc?" Leo questioned forgetting that the CMO hated the human nickname.

"She has a few fractured bones and seems to be in something similar to a coma," Ratchet answered, the answer not satisfying anyone in the room.

"Seems to be?" Optimus questioned.

"Her brain scan showed activity that was similar to that if she were merely recharging," Ratchet's utter confusion showed through in each word.

"Then what is wrong with her?" Optimus continued, practically having to drag the information from his CMO's vocal processors.

"Her heart is beating too slowly. It is at a stable pace, but no human should have brain activity without enough blood pumping! She should be –as the humans' say- a vegetable. In addition, her DNA and energy signals would suggest that…" Ratchet rambled as his logic circuits were about to fry.

"She's part Saiyan" Ironhide interrupted flatly. He had spent far too many vorns dealing with that violent ape race and had recognized the Saiyan blood in her the moment he stepped into the room.

"Saiyan?" the humans chimed together, along with a puzzled look from Bumblebee.

"Wha- What the heck is a Saying?" Sam half laughed/ half blurted, taking the words right out of his fellow humans' mouths.

Ironhide sighed when he receive the nod of approval from Optimus to reveal the information. "Saiyans were a warrior race that lived on the planet Vegeta in the Northern Galaxy and were once one of the few species more violent than humans are. They eradicated other planets' inhabitants and then sold it to the highest bidder. Saiyans could access something they called ki – like a fleshling version of a spark- and that made the early Decepticon army want them. Before the 'Cons got the location of Vegeta, the planet was destroyed."

"You kept saying 'were'? I thought you said that she is a Saiyan?" Major Lennox pointed at unconscious child, who looked like anything but a brutal warrior.

The weapons specialist rumbled, staring down the man who challenged his words, "I said that she is part Saiyan. She hardly has any Saiyan DNA in her at all. Too diluted with human."

"And yet she was able to take a hit from Barricade." Ratchet argued.

Major William Lennox rubbed his temples, already getting a headache from just thinking about the massive amount of paperwork and meetings that were going to come with another alien species on Earth. He looked at the young girl as if she would wake up and give him the answers to the endless amount of question that were coming.

"Ah, how long until she's conscious?" Lennox asked, hoping that it would be fairly soon. She looked like an older version of his daughter Annabelle and couldn't help but think of what her parents must be going through.

"Considering that she is not fully human and the limited amount of data on Saiyans, I estimate less than two week." Ratchet calculated, secretly mad that there was little to no Saiyan medical files and he would have to rely on Ironhide for a large amount of the information.

"That's pretty quick for being mowed over by a Decepticon," Leo joked when Mikaela cuffed him on the back of the head for not thinking about Bumblebee, who still thought that the whole ordeal was his fault.

Mikaela sighed and looked over at the girl not sure what to think of her, "Okay, so we know what she is, but who is she? Like isn't someone looking for her?"

"Excellent question!" Sergeant Robert Epps exclaimed as he entered the room with the information Lennox asked for upon the girl's arrival. He began to rattle off the details as the Autobots accessed the basic data packet;

Name: Sarah-Jane Kostan

D.O.B: January 8th, 1995

Legal Guardians: Josef Kostan (Father), Elizabeth Turner (Mother), Mick (Stepfather)

Residents: Los Angeles, California

"Wait! Josef Kostan? Owner of Kostan Industries?" Sam cried in disbelief breaking a serious silence.

"You got it." Epps replied.

Major Lennox's head pounded at this point, and did not even notice Ratchet was scanning him. 'If we get sued somehow by this guy…' Lennox worried. "Epps get public relations to phone the Mr. Kostan and her other guardians."

"You know that you sentenced the poor PR to going deaf in whichever ear he holds the phone too?" Epps pointed out to Lennox as they walked out of med bay together. Lennox nodded, almost at the end of his limits, "Ya, I figured that the moment the words came out of my mouth"

Optimus Prime lay on his gargantuan sized berth next to his recharging spark mate, Elita-1. The Prime thought how the Saiyan race once thrived and then had their home destroyed. Yet, their descendants were eventually able to carry on life on Earth. He hoped that his fellow Autobots would find the same peace on their adoptive home, when the Decepticon proximity alarm sounded.

**Red Alert report** Optimus boomed

** Sensors indicate Starscream incoming alone ETA one breem** Red Alert

** More bad news. The Saiyan is not …** Ratchet stopped. The three mechs across the base stood and listened while a young female's agitated voice rang out in the distance,

"THIS IS AN ISLAND?"
