Rated T just to be safe.

I don't own Transformers nor know the people who owns them. They are owned by Hasbro. The people you never heard of that are in here (That also means Alice. But not the Pretender Alice. My OC Alice) are my OC's. And this is a slow moving type of fanfic. Enjoy.


I woke up on my bed in my house at night time. I got up, ran downstairs and was waiting for my Mom, Dad and two brothers to come in the kitchen. But there were no signs of them. I looked everywhere around my house to find them. I went outside and saw a giant robot punching something. When I saw they were people, I ran over there and yelled

"HEY! PICK ON SOMEONE YOU'RE OWN SIZE!". It turned it's head and looked down to face me with blood red eyes. When I looked past it's legs, my family were laying on the ground. The giant robot swung it's arm and hit me then sent me flying into my house that's made out of brick. I was out cold, all I heard was a jet flying by. It was daytime when I woke up, I was covered in my blood, I couldn't move, I couldn't talk much but I could open my eyes. When I did, I saw my famly, dead.

"N....n..no. This....ha...has....to be...a.....dream." I tried to get up. I called the Police with my Mom's cellphone that was right next to me.

"Hello?" The 911 Operator answered.

"My.....family's dead. Some.....one killed....them. And.........I'm....losing.....bluuuuuh." I dropped the cellphone, my brain shutting down from lack of blood, my heart was slowing down. Then I heard sirens.

"C'mon! Get her back!"

"I'm trying! She's going and going fast!" I heard voices then everything went black. I didn't hear anything, couldn't feel anything.

'Am I really.....dead?' I thought to myself. I saw a light and opened my eyes.

"She's alive!" A doctor shouted, Epps and Lennox, friends of my Dad, came in.

"Ruby. I'm glad you're alive." Lennox hugged me.

"But what about my-"

"Sorry to tell you this. But their dead." He cried.

"This can't be right. They didn't need to die." I cried with him.

"We're going to find the person who did this." He had an angry tone.

"It wasn't a person. It was a giant robot." I explained.

"We're going to find it, no matter what, Ruby. I promise." He promised. We saw Epps crying.

"Sorry guys. I'm just gonna go because this is a bad time." Epps went out the door. I grabbed Lennox's shirt.

"When you find that thing, I want it dead." I growled a little.

"Don't worry. We'll kill it." He patted me on the head and went out of the room. a month later, I was well enough to go out of the hospital.

'Now what? I don't have a family and........Bingo!' I saw an adoption center. I went in and went to the front desk.

"Hello there. Need something, Dear?" A beautiful lady with long blonde hair who might be in her late 20's to her early 30's asked me.

"Yes. I want to be put up for adoption." I replied.

"Were you beaten, neglected or anything like that?" She asked again. I stopped for a moment and cried.

"My family's dead." I answered. She got up and hugged me.

"Sorry to hear that. Don't worry, you'll find a loving family." She patted me. She gave me some papers, I got a pen out and signed them. I was done then she showed me a room where I'll be staying until I found a family.

"If you want someone to play with, want something to eat, anything. You come and tell me. OK?" She gave me a warm smile.

"OK." I got on my bed. Lennox and Epps came with my bags with my stuff in them.

"Here you go, Ruby. All of you're stuff you wanted to bring. Anything else?" Lennox asked.

"No. I'll be OK." I grabbed my DSi and played Pokemon Platinum. Then I saw a black DS lite, it was one of my brothers'. I picked it up and it had Pokemon Pearl in it. They loved to play it, then I had a flashback.

"NO! NOT HYDRO CANNON!" Mike yelled.

"Yes! You're Heatran is doomed. Aw man." My Lugia's Hydro Cannon missed.

"Now it's time for Fire Punch!" Mike yelled.

"C'mon, Ruby! Beat him!" Johnny shouted. Mike's Heatran defeated my Lugia.

"Yes!" Mike yelled. Then Lennox shoke me out of my flashback.

"It's OK, Ruby. Their still here." Lennox tried to cheer me up. It started to be night time, Epps and Lennox went out of the room with a sad sounding 'Good Bye'. I layed down on my bed and cried myself to sleep.

The next day, I woke up to the smell of pancakes. Heather came in with a plate that had three stacks of pancakes. She put syrup on them for me.

"Oh. You didn't have to put the syrup on for me. I don't want you to work too hard." I said then got up and sat on the chair.

"It's part of my job. I don't mind working hard." She put the plate on my lap. I took a bite.

"How did you know I like cinnamon?" I asked.

"Lucky guess. Most people like cinnamon. Then after you eat you're pancakes, I'll get you a cinnamon bun." She said

'Mmmmmm. Haven't had those in a while.' I thought to myself while eating the cinnamon pancakes.

"My Mom always made my pancakes with cinnamon." I was done eating the pancakes.

"You were that hungry?" Heather asked.

"I haven't eaten anything and hospital food just doesn't do it for me." I chuckled a little.

"You seem like a friendly teen." Heather smiled.

"I pretty much am. I kinda get a little angry when I get annoyed. I never fight, don't want to. And I'll do pretty much anything fun." I said.

"Like?" Heather asked.

"Playing my Wii, riding Go-Karts, playing against or with someone on games. Stuff like that. I also like to play with animals." I explained. Heather's little smile turned into a beautiful smile. She knew I won't be trouble. Then someone came in, Heather went to the desk.

"May I help you?" She asked a Mother of four.

"Yes. Can I adopt that girl over there?" She pointed at me. Heather nobbed.

"Just sign here." Heather gave the Mother some papers. The Mother signed it, I got up and went out. I forgot to tell Heather I was a little shy.

"Hey. I'm Kevin." A boy that was in his teens waited for me to shake his hand. I didn't shake his hand or said anything.

"A little shy?" He asked, I nobbed. They walked out, I followed them to a van.

'OK, Ruby. First time being with a family that you don't know. Just be yourself and stop being so shy. Oh, what am I saying? I can't help it.' I thought to myself when I got my bags and went in the van. I played my DSi that had Kirby in it. We went forty blocks, it wasn't long. When we stopped, I was at my new home. It was a three story house with a four car garage.

'I might like it here. Let's see what a day will be like with them.' I grabbed my bags and went in the house. It was two times bigger than my house.

"Here let me show you you're room." Kevin ran up the stairs. I went up there with him, he went to the first room on the right on the third level. He opened the door and showed me a room that was almost the same size of my room in my house but a little bigger. I unpacked my stuff and layed on my bed.

"this one day won't be so bad. Maybe tomorrow will be great." I said. I rested my body then went to sleep.

The next day, the Mother went back to the adoption center while holding me by the back of my shirt collar.

"What's wrong?" Heather asked.

"This teen is nothing but trouble!" She shouted at Heather.

"Hey. Don't shout at her!" I snapped.

"Shut up! I want my money back." She turned to Heather. She gave the Mother her money back then the Mother pushed me out the way. I started to cry.

"What did you do?" Heather asked.

"I didn't do anything. She started yelling at me because one of her kids told a lie on me." I cried.

"What did she say?" Heather asked.

"She said that one of her kids said I was the one who stole her ring. But I didn't do it." I grabbed my bags and went to my room. Heather came in and sat right next to me. She gave me a picture of a blurred image of something.

"What's this?" I asked.

"I took a picture of a giant robot. It looked at me but didn't try to hurt me." She explained. I balled my hand into a tight fist.

"Their everywhere, aren't they? Just killing people who didn't do anything." I growled a little bit.

"This one didn't try to kill me. It didn't even want to kill me." Heather tried to calm me down.

"They do nothing but kill." I got a little angry.

"Well, this one might be friendly." Heather said, grabbing the photo because I might rip it.

"Yeah, right. I'll take a video of one and give it to Lennox then to the Police. Then all of them will be dead and out of everybody's life." I said. Heather sighed.

"Don't go over board, Ruby. Some people can judge things and if they thing it's fake, they might charge you with something." Heather waited for me to change my mind.

"You do know I want revenge, right?" I crossed my arms.

"It sounds like it."

"Just wait. I'll get my revenge one day. And my wish will come true." I then layed on my bed and played my DSi.

"I see playing games calms you down." Heather chuckled.

"Super Smash Bros. Brawl calms me down even more." I replied. Heather went out of my room.

A week has past and it was night time at the adoption center. I was crying over a picture of my family.

'They didn't need to go. Why, God? Why?' I thought to myself while crying. Heather came in and sat down with me on my bed.

"It's going to be alright, Ruby. You're going to find a loving family." She tried to cheer me up.

"How? I've already been adopted five times and none of the families liked me. Their kids didn't even like me." I kept crying. Then the news came on.

"In tonight's news, people have been reporting a 16 foot tall robot walking and transforming into a car. We don't have proof yet but Police have witness this robot a few minutes ago." The news man showed a blurred picture of the 16 foot tall robot.

"I know that face, Ruby. What crazy idea do you have?" Heather asked with one eye brow up.

"I'm going to give them proof on that robot. I hate them, That's why I have a video camera so I can tape them. And when I tape it and show them to Lennox then the Police. BOOM! No more robots." I started to like my plan. Heather shoke her head.

"It might be friendly. And what if it can hurt you?" She got worried about what I'm going to do.

"I can run. Ruby's my name, speed's my game." I used a Sonic quote. I grabbed my video camera and ran out of the building and on to the street. I almost dropped my camera but I kept running until I was at a grassy field that was sixty blocks away from the center. I layed down on the ground and waited for a robot to come.

"When I get this thing on camera, I'll get my revenge." I chuckled to myself and waited.

Two hours has passed and nothing came up.

"They lie so badly." I got up and dusted myself off. I looked back and saw a yellow 2010 sport version Camaro.

"Hey, dude. What are you doing?" I asked the driver. I took a closer look and realized there was no driver. The car jumped up and surprised me. I ran away from the area and back into the adoption center.

"What is it Ruby?" Heather asked.

"The...there was a 2010 yellow Camaro without a driver and it's driving itself." I was a little paniced.

"Did you drink to much Mountain Dew again?" She asked.

"No. It was really driving itself." I was a little loud.

"OK, OK. Calm down. Show me where you saw it." She got up. I ran outside which forced Heather to run outside as well. We got to the field but the Camaro wasn't there.

"But......but it was right here." I knew Heather thought I was crazy until I fell in a small hole.

"Is that a foot print?" She asked. I climbed out of the hole.

"It smells like metal down there." When I said that, it started to make me wonder. Was that Camaro the 16 foot tall robot that was on the news? Heather tapped me on the shoulder and said,

"We should head back. You look tired." Then I looked out and saw no signs of the Camaro.

"OK. Just don't think I'm crazy." I said.

"Don't worry. We all have those moments." She patted me on the back. We walked back to the adoption center, Heather went back to her desk, I went in my room and got on my bed.

'I'll have revenge on these things. For killing my family.' I thought to myself then went to sleep.

The next day. I woke up and turned on the TV. The news was still talking about the 16 foot tall robot.

"Nobody knows if it's fake or real. The Police are on the look out for this robot. If anyone has any proof, send it to the Pol-" I then turned it off. I got up and went out of the adoption center.

"And where are you going?" Heather asked.

"Going to see an old friend of mine." I answered. I went out of the door and walked a few miles to my friend's house when I saw the Camaro from last night. I stared at it then I shook myself.

'No. Don't even think about it, Ruby' I thought to myself. I went back to walking to my friend's house. A few miles later, I finally got to her house, I went on the porch and rang the door bell. A slim teenage girl with long black hair answered it.

"Hi, Alice." I shoke her hand.

"Hey, Ruby. How's it going?" She asked with a warm welcome smile.

"Fine. Have you heard about the 16 foot tall robot?" I asked her. She stopped for a minute and had a nervous look on her face.

"What? You look like you've seen a ghost." I said. She chuckled a little.

"It's nothing. It's just that-" We heard a thump in the backyard then we heard a boom.

"Alice? What was that?" I asked her.

"Oh. My cat knocks stuff over and my dog trys hard to catch birds." She giggled.

"I know you have a cat but a dog? Since when you even HAD a dog?" I tapped my foot.

"We just got him from the pound. He likes to try to catch birds and makes a 'thump' noise when he lands." She explained. I then asked,

"What kind of dog?"

"Pitbull." She answered a fast one.

"You know, I use to have two Pits. They were so sweet. Can I see him?" I asked again. Trying to see if it's true.

"No. He's not use to people."

"But if he's not use to people how is he use to you?" I was getting smart.

"Oh, I think my mom's calling me. Bye." She slamed the door in my face.

"Rude much." I stormed off. I walked a fews miles back and saw a wishing well. I went over to it and got out a gold dollar coin my dad gave me.

"I wish I would get adopted by a loving family." I wished and threw the coin down. I had three more gold dollars left. Then the Camaro was behind me, I didn't notice until it honked it's horn. I was spooked and turned around, I was scared now. Then a Corvette Stingray and Pontiac Solstice came. 'I'm in trouble now' I thought to myself then ran. I was running fast enough to get away but cars are faster, way faster. They boxed me in but I jumped over the Camaro.

"HA! YOU CAN'T CATCH ME!" I shouted then ran off again. I ran into a junkyard and was trapped.

"That was stupid, Ruby." I sighed. They boxed me in and stopped.

"C'mon. Show yourselves." I said in a brave tone. The cars started to turn into pieces, piece by piece they went to different places to reveal robots. They looked down at me and I was in shock, I couldn't move no matter how hard I tried to move.

"What should we do with her, Bee?" The blueish silver robot asked the yellow and black robot.

"She seems scared. I'll try to calm her down." The yellow and black robot replied. It went down on one knee at my level and looked at me.

"Ple.....please. Don't kill me." I begged. It tilted it's head.

"We're not going to hurt yo-"

"Don't bother with her, Bee. She doesn't trust us." The sliver robot sighed.

"We have to EARN her trust, Sideswipe." The yellow robot did a faceplam.

"And how's that going?" The silver robot was getting a little annoyed.

"Will you shut up, Sides." The blueish silver robot was getting annoyed by the silver one. I got up and tip toed out but the silver robot grabbed me, I struggled to get out of it's grip.

"Sideswipe, give her to me." The yellow robot tried to get me out of the sliver robot's grip.

"I DON'T WANT ANY OF YOU TOUCHING ME!" I yelled. The silver robot puts me down, I gave them and angry stare.

"I know one of you killed my family. So, why don't you just turn yourselves in and get killed." I growled. They looked at each other then me.

"Killed you're family? We wouldn't do anything like that, ever." The yellow robot said with a calm voice. I got my LG View out and tried to call someone.

"Shoot. I don't have a signal. Guess I can't call anyone." I sighed. They looked at each other and didn't want to be seen. They transformed and went somewhere else.

"Now to save the video and get rid of them." I chuckled.

I ran back to the adoption center. When I got there, Heather was outside of the center.

"HEATHER!" I ran up to her.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Got the proof." I smiled.

"OK. Show me." She was waiting. I got my LG View out and played the video of the robots. Heather was surprised.

"You got their faces. Now what are you going to do with it?"

"First, show it to my Dad's friends. Remember Lennox and Epps?" I asked.

"Their in the army, aren't they?" She asked.

"Yup. I can show them this video and they'll take care of them." I then walked off to the NEST Base. Heather sighed and shoke her head.

'What are we going to do with her?' She thought to herself then went back in. I ran as fast as i could to NEST Base, when I got there I hit the door head on. Lennox answered the loud knock.

"Hey, Lennox. Sup? ow." I put my right hand on my head.

"You OK?" Lennox asked.

"Yeah." I got up.

"Anyone new?" I then asked.

"Yup. A few of them. Want to meet them?" He asked. I nobbed. We went in the base and saw Epps, I hugged him.

"Hey, Ruby. Still at that adoption center?" He asked.

"Yeah. Got adopted five times and none of them wanted me." I tried to get over it.

"Hey, Epps. Can you get the Autobots here so Ruby can meet them?" Lennox asked.

"Sure." Epps went to the back.

"Autobots?" I got curious.

"Yeah. You might like them, their the best to work with. Each one can help us with something." Lennox explained. Then a Semi Truck with three motorcyles and a few cars following it came.

"Lennox. Tell me why they brought their cars here." I got even more curious.

"These aren't you're normal everyday cars, Ruby." Lennox said. We looked back at the truck and cars then they turned into pieces. From one piece going over one and reforming, they were all giant robots. They were in robot form now and I stepped back. Then turned my back and started to walk back to the adoption center until Lennox grabbed my shirt collar.

"Aren't you going to say hi?" He asked.

"Why would I even want to talk to giant killing robots? I can't believe these are you're new teammates." I growled.

"Ruby. They don't kill." Lennox tried to make me change my mind about the Autobots.

"Yeeeeah. Don't believe it." I crossed my arms.

"Maybe we should just let you stay with one of them." Lennox suggested.

"Do whatever you need to do to me. I'll still hate giant robots." I hissed.

"OK. Bumblebee, Ruby's staying with you." He said to the yellow and black robot.

"Oh god. Me and my big fat mouth." I did a facepalm. I knew Lennox would get me if I was trying to run away. He gently pushed me to the yellow robot. I walked over to it, knewing I wouldn't like being with it. It picked me up and carried me to it's room. When we got there, it put me on it's bed and waited for me to say something.

'Yup. I don't like this. But knowing Lennox, he'll try hard to get me to think not all robots are bad.' I thought to myself.

"Not much of a talker, huh?" The robot talked. I still didn't say anything, then it thought I'd talk if it pushed me on the back.

"DON'T DO THAT! I HATE GETTING PUSHED!" I yelled at it.

"Sorry. I just wanted to talk." It made a sad face.

"Why would I want to talk to a giant robot?" I gave it an angry stare but it didn't even flinch.

"I know what you've been going through. I've been alone one time and didn't even know who my creator was. We were sure they were offline." It explained. I didn't say anything.

"And it just won't stop." I quietly said to myself.

"I have a gender, ya know." It pointed out. I tried to hold in my laghter.

'A robot that has a gender? How do they make babies when........There I go again.' I thought to myself, then it pushed me again.

"Will you stop!?" I was getting annoyed. It replied,

"Just talk to me. It might make you feel better."

"Losing my family to a robot who beat and shot them to death and trying to get over it will make me feel better? Yeah. Nice try. I still won't talk to you about anything." I got upset.

"Wow. You're a tough one. Just be glad Lennox didn't give you Ironhide" It waited for me to reply. Then The Semi Truck came in.

"How's it going, Bumblebee?" It asked with a deep powerful voice.

"Not so good, Prime. She doesn't want to talk." The yellow robot explained.

"Don't worry keep trying, Bumblebee." The Semi Truck closed the door.

"I want to go see Heather." I jumped off the bed. The robot transformed and drove right next to me.

"Need a ride?" It asked.

"No. I'm fine." I said in an annoyed tone. The Solstice, Semi Truck and Stingray followed me as well.

'Great. I have stalkers now.' I sighed and kept walking.

We got to the adoption center, I went in. The four robots turned on their, what they call, 'Holomatters'.

"Hey, Heather." I hugged her.

"Hi, Ruby. How did it go?" She asked.

"It was a little edgey but I was OK." I answered.

"I meant about the video." She chuckled.

"Yeah, well. I didn't turn it in." I scratched the back of my head. Heather looked at Optimus, Sideswipe, Jazz and Bumblebee.

"Who are they?" She asked.

"Just some friends." I replied. They were keeping an eye on me for some reason. Then a man with black clothes on came in.

"Hey, can I adopt a kid?" He asked Heather. She went to the front desk.

"Sure. Which one?" She asked then the man pulled a gun on her.

"The money. Now, give it to me or you'll die." He demanded.

"No. You're not taking the money." She said with a brave tone. He was going to shoot her, I pushed Heather out the way then we heard the gun go off. I looked down and he shot me in the chest. I fell down backwards.

"RUBY!" Heather cried. The four Autobots boxed the man in, Sideswipe punched him in the chest, Bumblebee swung his arm and hit the man in the head, Optimus was saved for last and he broke the man's rib cage. They were sure he was dead but they didn't know I was still hanging on to life. Heather called 911, after that I blacked out.

".............God? If you can answer me, am I dead?" I asked, not knowing if I'm dead. Then someone shoke me awake. Optimus had a smile on his face.

"What you did was brave, Ruby. You risked you're life to save a friend." He smiled even more. He was very proud.

"I take my chances." My voice was weak. The bullet touched my voice box and poked a hole in it. It missed my heart by inchs but it pierced my right lung. Heather came in and tried not to touch my chest while hugging me.

"Ruby. I'm so glad you're alive." Heather was crying.

"It's good to still be alive. And you're tears are stinging my chest." I was a little bit in pain because her tears went into the hole in my chest. She stopped then the Doctor came in.

"Well, well, well, Ruby. You're made out of steel, aren't you?" He was glad I was alive.

"What do you mean by that, Doctor?" Optimus asked.

"She was in here and was covered in her blood because she had cuts and her back was split open. Her head showed 10 inchs of her skull and she almost died from lack of blood. But she was strong enough to call us." The Doctor explained.

"Anyway, we'll have to get that bullet out. And the only way to do that is surgery." He got some papers of my X-Ray.

'Aw man.' I thought to myself. The Doctor went out of the room.

"You are very lucky to be alive." Optimus said.

"It was nothing." I smiled. I felt like a somebody.

"Nothing? You took a bullet for a friend. That isn't nothing." Bumblebee smiled.

"To bad my family isn't here. They would've been so proud, might of thought I was crazy but proud." My voice was weak again. The Doctor came back.

"Time for surgery." He rolled the bed out. I was brave enough to take a bullet in the chest but not brave enough to go into surgery? I didn't know why I wasn't brave enough to go into surgery.

'DARN IT!' I yelled in my head.

A day after surgery, Heather and the Autobots came. Heather sat right next to me.

"How are you doing?" She asked me. I wish I could tell her I couldn't talk for a while. I got a piece of paper and pen out and wrote a message. They read it and it said,

"Sorry guys. I can't talk for a while. I need to rest my voice box." Heather was sad.

"Sorry to hear that. Is there anything we can do?" She asked. I wrote another message saying,

"Well, I want to play my DSi. It's in my DS game bag in the chair over there." The piece of paper also had an arrow pointing to the bag. Heather got up and picked it up and gave it to me.

"If there's anything you want, I'll do it for you." She sat back down on the bed. I worte on a clean piece of paper saying,

"You don't have to work yourself that hard."

"You almost gave you're life to save me. And for that, I took the week off." Heather smiled.

"I tried to tell her we can help you since we didn't have anything else to do." Bumblebee said.

"And we'll do anything for you as well." Optimus was still smiling. I wrote something that said,

"You guys can adopt me."

".........Ruby, their in the army. I don't think they can take care of you." Heather said.

"Yes we can." Bumblebee stepped up to Heather and asked,

"Where are the papers?"

"........I don't know about this, Ruby." Heather got had a worried tone. The Doctor came in to give us the good news.

"Great news guys. Ruby might be out of here in a week and a half and you can talk now, Ruby." The Doctor was looking at the X-Ray of my chest.

"Thank you." Heather was happy to hear the good news. Everybody was happy to hear the good news. The Doctor went out of the room. I told Optimus to come to me.

"Why didn't you try to stop the guy, huh? I wouldn't be like this if you guys would've took him down when you first saw the gun." I hissed. Optimus didn't say anything.

"Answer me." I demanded.

"There are just somethings we have to make sure of" Optimus had his eyes closed.

"Don't start that up again. I could've died. You call yourselves 'hard working'. Yeah, that's a lie. You don't even know how it feels to be like this. Now you know why I hate giant robots." I growled and turned my head.

'Guess we didn't earn her trust.' Bumblebee thought to himself.

"Optimus. I think we need to have a word." Bumblebee tugged on Optimus' shirt collar, they went outside to their car modes.

"Optimus, I have to agree with Ruby. I mean we could've gotten the guy and beat him to death when we first saw the gun. I'm sorry, Sir, but you need to sharpen you're leadership." Bumblebee got a little annoyed.

"You're right, Bumblebee. I need to do better next time." Optimus agreed. Bumblebee thought Optimus would disagree. Back in the building, I wasn't talking to Jazz or Sideswipe. I was only talking to Heather then she got up and went outside. Jazz leaned over to Sideswipe.

"She had us fooled." Jazz whisper.

"I thought she really wanted us to adopt her."

"Humans are tricky, remember?" Sideswipe whispered to Jazz.

'Why are these things even alive? The world would be better off without them.' I thought to myself. Optimus and Bumblebee came back in.

"Ruby, we're sorry and you're right. We could've saved you and Heather witho-"

"Just shut up." I put my hand up as a sign I didn't want to talk about it. Optimus didn't say anything after that then Jazz gave him an angry look.

"Nice one, Sir. We were almost to the point where we earned her trust." Jazz had a frustrated tone to his voice.

"Lets head back to the base." Optimus suggested. They went out of the hospital building
