Chapter One: Blue Rock
I was walking through a wheat field as the tall grass like plants where turning gold and swayed slowly in the breeze that went through my hair. I took a deep breath and smelled the dirt and a few vapors of diesel from last year's harvest. I walked for miles and then I saw a small rock plummet from the sky but landed with a small thud. I knew that if I went up to look at it and took something home I would be in some deep crap if my mom found out. But my curiosity took a hold of my limbs as I walked toward the small crater. At about ten feet away I could see a light blue glow on the golden wheat despite the bright sunlight. Then I saw a small, blue, glowing crystal. When I picked it up it felt like it wielded some sort of raw energy. It wasn't very small so I put it in my pocket and prayed that my mom didn't find out. I noticed that it was getting dark and I was nearly five miles from my house and that I wouldn't make it if I walked and it would be a close call if I sprinted so I took off in a dead sprint.
"Oh shiz, I'm going to be late for my bedtime!" I moaned to myself and put on an extra burst of speed. Then my pocket started to glow and I started to run faster than I could handle and fell on my face and rolled right back to my feet and stopped and put my hands on my knees.
"What was that?" I asked myself and started to run again. This time I was ready for the crazy speed and started kicking up clouds of dust with every footstep. As I neared my house I gradually began to slow down but I nearly ran right through the front door. I finally stopped and opened the wooden door in front of me and walked in to the house that was under remodel.
"Carter Andrews! Where have you been!" my mom snapped. "It's almost dark and you just now show up. We need to get you a watch or a house arrest warrant!"
"Aw, come on Carla! He's a kid! Cut him some slack." My dad's gruff voice sounded over a power drill.
"You were the one who set the rule." Mom said.
"And how am I the kid in this situation?" I asked sarcastically.
"Alright, you had your fun now off to bed. March young man." Mom ordered.
I walked to my room and closed the door. Instead of going to bed I found my electric model engine. I pulled out the small glowing rock and stuck it between the power ports to power the model engine and it ran perfectly and looked like it could run for days at a time. I pulled the rock out of the power track and put it on my dresser. Then I just flopped on my bed and went to sleep.
I woke with a start to my bedroom roof being torn off by large silver gray claws and faint red glow. I could only lie down in horror while the seemingly metal giant stared at me with a sinister evil look. My dad burst in with a 12-gauge shotgun and fired at the beast's head while screaming "Get… The… H-ll… Away… from… My… Family… you… B-tch!" between shots. I myself grabbed my .22 and made sure that it was loaded and fired at the things head. It aimed what appeared to be a large flashlight mounted on its arm so I grabbed the blue rock and ran out of my room with a fresh clip of .22 bullets and ran outside to my dirt bike. I started the engine and took off and launched a few rounds at the metal beast and it followed me. I made sure to get the engine to full speed and turned onto the highway and the beast jumped up and almost in slow motion parts shifted to make the shape of some sort of jet and it flew right at me. The flashlight thing lit up and fired a bolt of purple energy at me and it barely missed my rear tire. It fired eight more times and all of them missed their mark but one that hit the body of the dirt bike and I flew and bounced on the pavement and skidded to a halt and felt myself bleeding and some odd force seemed to be infecting me and my ribs started to crack. Another jet flew by the silver one and they both transformed.
"Dreadwing, take our future guest back to the Nemesis. I'll make sure that the evidence is disposed of." The silver robot said in a deep sinister voice.
"Yes, Lord Megatron." The other robot said as it grabbed me and transformed back into a military jet and threw me into the cockpit. Then I blacked out.
