Oh my God! Look at that, I'm writing a multiple-chapter story that isn't made of individual incidents!

Before people freak out, yes there is an OC. No, she does not have any sort of romantic relationship with anyone, she's not related to anybody, and she has basically nothing to do in here except for being a person to make events happen. I have not a whole lot against stories that do, but I would rather try to make this at least as original as I can. I don't want to repeat what others have already done. Thanks for reading this little rant. RAWR!

Disclaimer: I don't own crap except for the one OC I threw in here.

For explanation, this takes place after the RoTF and I've changed a couple things to fit my plan. RESPECT MY ATHORITAY as the author! Also contains the idea of mining energon like in Transformers: Energon with that Spike kid. No, Spike doesn't come into this.

Enjoy!

"Soundwave, where is the fragging energon at?" A whiny, robotic voice complained. "Sensors indicate energon energy signature in this vicinity." A monotonous voice responded. Standing in the middle of a desert atmosphere two Decepticons stood searching to locate the area that Soundwave had picked up energon readings. You could see buildings not too far away but, unlike Autobots, Decepticons didn't usually care whether or not the 'human filth' saw them or not. Starscream and Soundwave continued to prowl the area and, on Starscream's part, complained about the job. "If we don't find an energon source soon, Megatron is going to have my aft on a silver platter!" Soundwave just continued looking. "Statement confirmed." Starscream looked back at the other bot. "Shut up ya stupid fragger."

"Optimus Prime, Decepticons have been sighted in a rural area of Nevada. We need your team to respond immediately." Optimus Prime sighed as he prepared for yet another fight against the Decepticons. Millions of years and he was still doing this. Not at all what he had wanted to be doing in his life.

"Understood. Autobots, transform and roll out."

A few miles away from the two Decepticons, a young human woman stood watching them with her binoculars. After the Fallen had broadcast that there were giant alien robots on Earth, it had become much more common to find images of them. But these ones were unlike the ones Sonya Becker had ever seen in those shoddy internet videos. Definitely not photo shopped in like some people in the government had been preaching for the past few months.

Before she'd stumbled upon the mechs, Sonya had been hiking from her house nearby to a rock formation she'd secretly claimed as her own. She had been going back and forth between her house and the formation she'd named The Throne for years now, going whenever she had something she needed solitude to think about. About halfway there today though she had noticed movement to her left and so had looked more into it. She had definitely not been expecting this.

"Update: NEST is approaching target area. Stand by for further instructions…" Lennox said over the comm. links. From across the line he heard a click. "Roger, we'll be waiting. Just don't keep us too long. Out."

Sam, Bumblebee, Sideswipe and the mini twins were the first ones on the scene. Arcee, Ratchet, Ironhide and Optimus Prime were coming just behind them. Bee let Sam jump out before transforming to take care of business. "Hey Bee, after we kick some Decepticon ass, how about we go see Michaela for a while. Since she lives so far away I never get to see her anymore." Bee chirped in happy agreement. Sam silently did a happy dance in his head. Nothing is better than going to visit your drop-dead sexy girlfriend.

Sonya was ecstatic as other transformers came into view. Two large ones and then two smaller ones. She zoomed in with her binoculars to get a better view. "Hope those four are ready for a fight. The other ones look pretty pissed." She never expected that her decision to watch them fight would lead to her being in a very sticky situation.

Bumblebee, Skids and Mudflap were taking on Starscream while Sideswipe dealt with Soundwave. "Bumblebee, I think this is going to be fun!" Sideswipe said as he ran at Soundwave. Bumblebee and the other two had Starscream under fire and Sideswipe was trying to slice Soundwave with his is blades without getting too close. Soundwave, as was normal for him, showed no real emotion as he dodged Sideswipe's attacks or while he tried to get a few good hits in too. "Cease attacks. Actions useless." Soundwave mocked as Sideswipe continuously only got a couple near slices in. "No. Trying to out-think Prowl is useless. Kicking your sorry aft is easy."

None of the bots realized how close they were getting to the rock formation that an organic was hiding behind, and this little organic didn't realize that their distance was rapidly decreasing. And it was only when Soundwave saw her that she finally did realized if she didn't run, she was going to be crushed.

Before really thinking about it, Soundwave made his move. He swung at Sideswipe with a side punch and struck the other bot in the faceplates. While the Autobot scum was distracted, Soundwave deployed Ravage, giving the silent command to go after the little human girl. Ravage took off after the fleeing organic and was hardly deterred as Sideswipe shot after him. As Soundwave made his way to Bumblebee and the others to back up Starscream, the rest of the NEST operatives arrived.

Sideswipe got up slowly and looked around. The others had finally caught up. Figures they would take forever to come. Scanning the area Sideswipe saw the tracks left by Ravage. Bad news was that they were headed away from the main battle. Good news was that Sideswipe was going to take care of that. "Here kitty, kitty, kitty…." He transformed and, with tires squealing, tore after the big bad cat.

"Help! Oh God, somebody please!" Sonya screamed as she stood on top of The Throne and tried not to get clawed by the demonic metal cat. "Nice kitty. Please don't kill me." He whimpered as she held on, hoping she wouldn't fall. It was basically a formation of rocks that was large at the base and gets thinner in the trunk higher up. On top of that is one smooth rock that is balanced at the tip of the supporting rocks. Sonya was currently praying that balance would hold. And that the demented robot wouldn't rip her apart.

"What the hell is he doing?" Sideswipe muttered to himself as he watched Ravage try to get to the human that was sitting on a rock formation. Instead of questioning anymore about the situation, he decided to act. Prime was always saying they had to keep the humans safe. Even if it sometimes seemed ridiculous and wasn't very enjoyable. Especially when the humans you were saving hated you. That was never pleasant. But always fun to rub in their faces.

Ravage never saw the hit from the side coming. Swiftly getting up, the Decepticon saw Sideswipe grab the human and then come at him with his arm blades. Ravage growled and latched on to the arm that was nearest the girl, which made her scream. Sideswipe, using his blade, scraped the annoying cat off of him and, while he was down, ran his blade into Ravage's lower hip. "Sideswipe, we need you over here. Starscream has already retreated, but Soundwave is putting up a good fight." Arcee's voice came over his comm. "Alright, I'm on my way. Hope you don't mind if I bring a guest." Sideswipe replied and looked down at the little blonde sitting in his hand as he walked.

"Hey kid. Bet this isn't how you planned spending your Friday."

Sonya, who had been inwardly hoping that this robot was on her side, did her best to smile.

"Yeah, I think you'd win that bet."

"Well kid, hope you don't mind, but we're going on a ride. I'll explain on the way."

He transformed and sat with the passenger's side door open.

"That…is so cool." Sonya said as she stared at the beautiful car.

"I know, right?"

Well, I've already deviated from the plot outline, but I think I can still salvage it. Please tell me what you think. I don't think it's my best writing ever, but I'm at least proud I'm trying to do this. Short stories are more my forte. But I'd like to expand outside my comfort zone and do this.

P.S. I don't like how this one was relatively short so the next one I'll try to make longer.
