Ironhide stood in the middle of a junkyard staring at the night sky. Three months passed since Megatron had been destroyed. The other Autobots were inside one of the abandoned buildings in the junkyard, which was now their temporary base. Sam was inside with them and was trying to figure out what would happen if more Autobots arrived before they found a proper base.
Ironhide was supposed to be guarding against intruders, but now that the Desepticons were gone, there were no more enemies. Suddenly the sky lit up with the light of something falling to Earth.
At first it looked like what the humans would call a falling star. But it didn't burn up in the atmosphere. The ball of falling matter seemed to twist and turn, finally making contact with the ground 10 miles from the junkyard. Ironhide quickly sent out the message of what he saw.
Three minutes later, all four of the Autobots were approaching the crash site.
Not long after the crash, Optimus Prime looked out over the devastation. There was a crater, too deep to be a single Transformer. Yet there was no meteor in the crater as well.
"Optimus, something is not right. The trees are broken not only in the direction of the crash, but also in random patterns. Almost like someone, or something, was fighting here." Ratchet looked back at his leader wondering what could have happened here.
The semi thought for a moment. "Spread out and look around the area. Meet back here to regroup in half an hour."
After an hour of looking, no one found anything.
Footsteps could be heard on the asphalt of a fairly unused road. Mutterings followed soon after. A teenaged girl appeared out of the cloudy night. She flicked red hair out of her face and sighed.
"Why do my brothers have to be so mean? We run a garage, and they won't even get me a car." Green eyes closed in frustration. "It's not like I'll just find a car abandoned on the side of the road, waiting for me to fix it up."
She suddenly stopped when something else loomed out of the night. At first, it was just a shape, but as the girl moved closer, she saw that it was a car, a '67 Mustang to be exact; and it looked like it had come out of the losing end of a battle.
