Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Not the Sequal but takes place in the same story line as Transformers: The Atlantis Factor. You don't have to and it is not nessecary to read it first. But this story does take place about two months later.

It's set a year after Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and somewhere in Season Five of Smallville.

The story is also slightly an AU. Lex and Clark are still friends, both Lana and Chloe know Clark's secret, and she is still in Smallville but Lois is not present in this story.

I am once agian using Botosphere's story kindship so once agian I also thank Botosphere for the use of their idea in the fanfiction Kinship. The idea belongs to them. I will also make some small refrences to their story and would recomend it to anyone. the story also has a segual called 'The Ties that Bind'.

Without futher adou, the Prologue.

Prologue:

He should have seen this coming. He should have known it was going to end this way. Nothing ever ended right.

Another explosion echoed and part of the barn was destroyed with it. Bumblebee tackled the Decepticon closest to the house. There were three of them and only one of him; he wasn't going to last long. Ironhide was still hours away and the rest were even further. He was happy he paid a little attention to Ratchet when he was fussing about medical stuff or Lex would have already bled to death.

"Sam, we need to get out of here."

"We're safest here, in one place."

"Sam!"

"Aunt Martha, please trust me," pleaded Sam.

"She's right, we have to go."

"Lex is wounded, and there is no way we can take on something nearly seventy feet taller than we are. We are safest here."

"Young man, I don't know what is going on, but I know you are somehow involved. We've got what looks like four giant robots trying to kill us and you want us to sit here?"

"Three."

"What?"

"There are only three."

"I may be freaked out, but Mr. Kent's right. I counted four."

"There are only three," repeated Sam.

The sound of another explosion and the roof being ripped off droned out the reply. The force knocked everyone off there feet. They looked up in time to see a large cannot aimed at them and the glowing red eyes of the thing it was attached to.

Please leave me a review, pretty please?
