Chapter One – The Arrival

"Wow!" Shouted a little girl with an exceptionally large forehead and pink hair. "Look at that Ino-Chan!" The one called Ino looked up at the sky with wonder.

"Wow! That's beautiful Sakura-Chan!" the spectacle in the sky that had the two young girls so enraptured was a very large Meteor hurling to the ground. The meteor landed just a few seconds later, causing the ground to shake. A few people mistook it as an earthquake and ran around screaming their heads off and generally annoying those that knew it wasn't. The landing site was actually very close to Konohagakure No Sato, The Village Hidden in the Leaves, about 200 metres close actually.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, sweat dropped as he watched one member of a gennin team that was giving a report on a successful D-Rank mission panic and run to the coffee table in the waiting room outside of his office. He calmly told the boy that it wasn't an earthquake but a meteor that was scheduled to collide with the Earth. As he watched the boy calm down he wondered why none of his ninja seemed fascinated by space, it was a beautiful and majestic thing. He decided since it landed very close to the village he might as well send a gennin team to check out how much damage it did to the forest.

"Genma, is your gennin team okay with checking out the landing site of the meteor?"

"Hai Hokage-Sama we can leave immediately."

"Okay Genma, this is a C-Rank mission since you'll be leaving the village gates."

Genma and his students bowed and left to do their mission.

At the Crash Site

Genma and his team arrived at the crash site and immediately started looking around. There were a few trees destroyed and the sound of birds was noticeably absent.

"Genma-Sensei why do we need to look at a crash site for a stupid rock?" one of his students, Toushiro, inquired.

"Because Toushiro-San, the Hokage wanted to know how much damage this meteorite has done to the forest and we were there so he picked us to do it." Genma explained to his pupil. This seemed to satisfy the gennin as he nodded and returned to the task at hand.

"Genma-Sensei, is this supposed to happen?" asked one of his other students, pointing at the crater than the meteorite obviously created. Genma moved to see what she was pointing at and what he saw confused him beyond measure.

'How can there be nothing in the crater?' he thought 'Something had to have landed here to make that crater and it only landed half an hour ago, something had to have happened to it.'

"No that is not supposed to happen… anyway we were supposed to just see if the meteor did any serious damage to the forest, it didn't no lets go back to the village and report it to Hokage-Sama." That said, him and his team turned around and ran back to Konoha.

Nearby, a strange being looked at this planet's species leave and thought to himself 'Village? I better check this out, maybe they have Energon or something I can use to power myself since I used all mine just surviving the trip, I gotta get more or else I'll rust away and die'. With that thought in his mind the strange creature started following the squad of four Konoha-Nin.

'Oh man, I do not think there's any Energon here.' The creature thought as he saw the primitive technology displayed by these soft creatures. He spent the next few minutes pondering on what to do when he decided that there must be SOMETHING on this planet that he could absorb and live off, at least until he found a way off the planet.

He spent the next few days looking for something, ANYTHING he could live off until he came across two of the creatures that lived on this planet practicing their fighting techniques. He saw one of them doing weird hand signals before making a ring around his mouth with his thumb and index finger.

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" If their spectator expected nothing to happen, then he was surprised by the huge fireball that erupted from his mouth.

'Whoa!' thought the creature. 'That is awesome!' He saw something weird though and focused on it, it was a very faint light blue mist hanging in the air around the area where the warrior had cast his strange attack. Neither of the indigenous people noticed it so the little creature decided he needed to investigate it, he felt reinvigorated just by being near it.

Some Time Later

When the locals left to go home the creature crept silently over to where they were sparring. Many more attacks like that fireball had been used during the fight so the blue mist was denser and spread out on a wider scale. As soon as he entered the mist he tried to absorb it.

What he saw was strange, the blue mist, when he absorbed it starting to turn white, like raw Energon and then went into his body. It seems this energy source is a lot like Energon. So similar in fact that his body just turned it into Energon. The little creature was overjoyed by this, he now had enough power to transform again. All he needed was to scan something and he might have a chance of surviving a Decepticon attack, well probably not but he would at least go down swinging.

If the creature could smirk, he would have, this planet is perfect for him. He was a prototype for a new transforming technology the Autobots were creating to help them protect Cybertron from the Decepticons. Unfortunately, the core was corrupted by Dark Energon and Optimus Prime ordered the evacuation of Cybertron before they could improve upon the prototype. The small creature, Autobot as he is called on his home planet of Cybertron, could scan and transform into 5 simple, uncomplicated forms. If he could find a human that could be his ally he could transform into these primitive weapons that they wield and use his Cybertronian technology to upgrade them and make them more devastating. With this thought in mind he became determined to find a worthy partner, but first he would have to have more forms than a damn crossbow.

He wandered the village's market district looking at weapons that he could scan, he already could transform into the crossbow so he needed a melee weapon form before he could go back to his abode. After seeing a lot of melee weapons in the shop windows that didn't really interest him that much he saw a Katana. A perfectly crafted Katana that he could see would already be an effective weapon without him doing anything to it at all. If he upgraded it he might be able to create one of those energy blades the bigger Autobots use. He quickly scanned it and went to his dumpster.

He considered going back and scanning 3 more weapons but decided against it. After all if he found a partner he could see some impressive and unique weapons to transform into. He decided the next day he would go look around the training grounds for a worthy partner.
