Chapter Three
YIP YIP YIP! Sam Witwicky looked up from his comics to see why his Chihuahua, Mojo, was so excited. He could tell Mojo was trying to have a go at something outside, but he couldn't tell what it was from his spot on the couch. Probably a stray cat. "Mojo, calm down! It's just a cat!" But Mojo didn't listen. If anything, he became more frantic, even tugging on Sam's pants leg in an effort to get out there. With an exasperated sigh, Sam said," Wheelie, could you go out there and find out what it is that's got Mojo all worked up?"
At first nothing happened. Then, a small remote-control monster truck started shifting its shape , its panels folding and tucking themselves into place. After a few seconds, a small, hi-tech robot with wheels for feet stood there. "Alright, alright, I'll figure out why it is he's decided to keep us up all night." he grumbled. With a quick step through the dog door, he was gone. However, he quickly came back in, shock clear in his bright red eyes. "What is it? You look like you've seen Megatron." "There's some group of crazy punks with baseball bats,messin' around with somethin' in the bed of Mikaela's truck! And from what I can tell, it's something 'live! You gotta do something or whatever it is they're beatin' up might not make it through the night!"
Sam leapt to his feet and said, "'Kay,'Kay, let me get Bee. He'll get them to leave easily." He dashed over to the garage door and flung it open. His hand groped the nearby wall until he found what he was looking for: a small light switch. He flipped it and ran over to his yellow and black Chevy Camaro, saying, "Bee, come on! Some punks are over by the truck, abusing someone or something and we need you to scare them away!" It was a few moments before the headlights flared to life, at which point the car began to do what Wheelie had done- it began to transform. In a few moments a giant robot knelt in the garage, waiting while the garage door slowly opened. As soon as it was open enough, Sam and Bumblebee snuck out. They crept to the alley corner , stopping just out of sight. With a few gestures to Bee to remind him of the plan, Sam walked into the alley, leaning casually against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. "I don't think that's a very good idea," he said, catching the gang's attention. The gang members grinned when they saw that it was just another teenager. They said,"You gonna do anything about it, kid?" Sam grinned. "No, but my friend is. You can come out now, Bee." With a loud THUD, Bumblebee revealed himself, leaving the punks to stare in open-mouthed shock. Bee looked at the group, saying with his newly-repaired vocal processors, "He's right, you know, it would be quite foolish, considering your current position." At that the gang screamed and ran like their lives depended on it. The two bots and the human teen watched them leave, then Sam turned, lifted the tarp- and gasped at what he saw.
There, in the truck bed, was Matoro (though Sam, Bumblebee and Wheelie didn't know his name or what he was yet). Caked with dried blood, the Toa was unconscious, his breathing heavy and labored. Sam could tell that they had arrived in the nick of time. Any later and he wouldn't be alive. He looked down at Wheelie.
"Get Mikaela. Fast."
Author's note: Yes, I am making it so that Sam and Mikaela are a couple. I don't have anything against the choice the crew made in an actress to replace Megan Fox in Dark of the Moon. It's just that I always saw Mikaela, as a character, as a better match for Sam. For those of you who don't know, Wheelie is the small Decepticon who tried to steal the Allspark fragment from the vault in Mikaela's car garage in Revenge of The Fallen. He also decided to become an Autobot when they first met Jetfire in that same movie, and the old bot revealed that it was possible to change sides. Review please!
