Previously-
"My name is Katrina Mae Banes." I announced calmly. I gestured towards Mikaela. "This is my cousin, Mikaela Marie Banes. You already know Sam's name." I introduced those in my little group of humans.
Now-
Mikaela, emboldened by my actions, stepped up slightly.
"Why are you here?" She enquired softly.
"We are here looking for the AllSpark, and we must find it before Megatron." Optimus Prime answered her question, staring deep into her eyes.
"Mega-what?" Sam questioned shakily.
I groaned internally at him. Sam, please shut your mouth and stop repeating whatever the Autobots say.
Optimus reached up and gently pressed something on the side of his head. Light shot out and danced along the ground for a moment before spreading and forming a picture. Sam and Mikaela backed away as the light quickly became a scene of destruction. The ground seemed to crumble beneath our feet, and I looked around myself at the alien surroundings. I could only stare as I listened to Optimus speak. His voice, like the scene, surrounded us completely. It was breathtaking.
"Our planet was once a powerful empire, peaceful and just. Until we were betrayed by Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. All who defied them were destroyed. Our war finally consumed the planet, and the All-spark was lost to the stars. Megatron followed it to Earth, where Captain Witwicky found him." The scene changed from a burning civilization to an icy tundra, and we could see the faces of over a dozen men, all encrusted in ice.
"My grandfather." Sam huffed slightly.
"It was an accident that intertwined our fates."
We watched as a dog ran off, some of the men yelling after it. The excited dog scraped at the snow as the men caught up to it. There was an ominous cracking sound and an older man opened his mouth to warn the others. It was to no avail. The ice cracked, spreading outward like a spider web. The man was at the center. Suddenly, the ice gave out completely and he and the curious dog fell. For what seemed like forever, we watched the old man fall down a icy tunnel. I could hear the dog yelping, but I couldn't see it after the man finally came to a stop. We could here the men desperately shouting for their Captain. Oh! The old man must be Sam's grandfather! Captain called up to his men, reassuring them. Captain Witwicky looked around himself, in terror. As I saw the frozen behemoth that was Megatron, I could feel chills crawl up my spine, and goosebumps break out all over my body.
"Megatron crash landed before he could retrieve the cube." Optimus continued quietly, "He accidentally activated his navigation system. The coordinates to the Cube's location on Earth were imprinted on his glasses."
"How'd you know about his glasses?" Sam suddenly inquired.
"eBay." Optimus answered succinctly. What the hell?
"eBay." Sam repeated disbelieving.
"If the Decepticons find the AllSpark, they will use it's power to transform Earth's machines and build a new army." Ratchet chipped in seriously.
What?
"And the human race will be extinguished," Optimus declared gravely. "Sam Witwicky, you hold the key to Earth's survival."
WHAT?
"Please tell me that you have those glasses." Mikaela begged.
"At home, in my room." Sam assured her.
At Optimus's command, the Autobots transformed into their respective disguises as Sam, Mikaela, and I got into Bumblebee, and we headed out.
