Katie pulled her sunglasses down to see Harry crash down next to her on the beach towel. It had taken them a while, six years in total but here they were finally on their Asian/Australasia trip. They had decided they'd hit the other states on their leave from N.E.S.T.

N.E.S.T.the Non-biological Extraterrestials Species Alliance and the AACA (Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act) a British/American/Autobot act that had been pushed through by the Queen and the President of the United States shortly after the downfall of Megatron; the Queen had quickly petitioned for the Force to be under the command of Will Lennox, Optimus Prime and Himself; they only reported specifically to the Pentagon Military General Morshower; Secretary of Defence Keller and The Ministry of Defence at the time.

Harry didn't really care about the British Minister, he'd have rather have preferred it if they reported directly to the Queens Defence Aide. Anyway NEST was built on the remains of Lennox's Rangers and Sector Seven officials. They had recruited heavily from both the British Magical and Mundane forces and various branches of the American Mundane/Magical Military.

They recruited 800 hundred new recruits from the four segments. All of the soldiers had agreed to the various tenants of NEST and had an interest in believing that they weren't alone in space. It was funny to watch them pass out when Optimus transformed in front of them. After that, the training began NEST had taken the training manual from the SAS, SBS, Marines and Delta Force and turned it into a brutal training regime in which two hundred crashed out.

Then came the interrogation where another three hundred quit because they 'couldn't hack it'. So three hundred were all that remained of the first eight hundred applicants, since NEST couldn't risk any leakage of their existence yet so the five hundred that crashed out were sworn to secrecy, they left the base with heavy hearts; but resolute. They had met Extra-terrestrials and had a chance to work alongside them but they failed the job interview but what they didn't know was that they had been paid a generous sum for participating and a note that NEST may be in touch.

The five hundred had also come away with new ways to train their squad mates to improve their fitness. To the successful applicants their uniforms were traded in for the blue and black NEST combat uniform with their flag of nationality on their right shoulder with the other on the left forearm. If the man was an officer when he joined NEST, he was given the rank as brevet rank to see how the man trained and respected his comrades and allies for a three month trial period.

Everyone was mixed into a squad based on personalities and reported up the chain of command.

Harry and Katie had spent five glorious months touring Asia more specifically Japan and China which were fantastic. Harry's language skills he picked up in his magic training time loop paid off, Harry could have passed as a native if not for his obvious pale skin. Katie had near fluency but stumbled over a few words here and their sounding like a tourist an experienced tourist but still a tourist all the same.

The best thing was no-one had disturbed them. After Optimus had sent the message up no-one had descended to earth until now. "Harry speaking who is it?"

"Epps! What is it? Where's Lennox? No…Okay…I'm on my way. We'll be Stateside soon."

Katie was already moving she heard the name 'Epps' groaned a knew her vacation was at an end. They rushed back to the hotel room, packed their stuff into their suitcases and were at the Australian Magical Transport Department.

"Diego Garcia!" Harry called stepping through the fireplace with Katie.

Lennox's office was the only one with a magically installed fireplace, he was on the phone with General Morshower when it glowed green, he turned around to see Harry and Katie completely tanned step out the fireplace.

Harry was wearing a black shirt that had 'If I can see you, I can hit you', and black jeans along with his NEST cap. Katie was dressed similarly except the slogan was a gloved hand 'Whose first'. Lennox hung up and nodded at the couple. "Sorry to interrupt your vacation, anywhere nice?"

"Sunshine Coast, Queensland Australia and Sunbathing, we'd been whale watching and parachuting. About to move on, we've also been to China and Japan we got you something actually…Anyway what did you need that warranted such an expensive call and that couldn't have waited a week?"

"Autobots inbound. Bumblebee detected them the moment they passed Titan. We alerted you the moment they were near the asteroid belt just past Mars, we weren't expecting for you at least two days…"

"Epps said it was urgent and we needed to be at Diego Garcia ASAP. Didn't say two days or he forgot that he was dealing with two sorcerers. Before you ask it's been under control…No accidents whatsoever unless you call turning petrol leak into energon an accident."

Lennox snorted "We have six inbound confirmed Autobots, we've decided a three man team to meet them. You and I are one of them and it's been a dust up between YOUR Autobots and the American ones.

There was friendly competition going on between the Commando's and Main Autobot Force, the Commando's followed Prime's orders but were trying to say that the Brits were much better at what they did than Americans. "You go with 'Hide to one sight…I'll take Epps and Crosshairs, Kat can roll with Hound if she wants to come so that's three…Prime will have go Solo making four. Donnelley and Figg will take a 4x4 quad making five and Richies and Peakes the cousins the ones in the SBS/SAS in another for six."

Lennox nodded "All headed for America…Texas around Houston."

The Autobots and squads listed for the meet and greet were mobile within half an hour. "Autobots deploy!" Ordered Prime from his personal aircraft carrier.

"You ready guys?" Called Crosshairs, Harry smirked and Epps gulped.

"YES/NO!" they shouted together, the doors opened and Crosshairs and Ironhide rolled backwards into the evening sky over Texas.

The other planes carrying Autobots did the exact same thing with the other planes swooping low over the quiet freeways and the quadbikes rolled onto the road. "Everyone fan-out… I don't know which ones these are." Announced Prime disappointment evident in his voice.

"Prime, you aren't to blame for being familiar with all of the Autobots…We'll find them. We always do."

Prime found the first Autobot taking the form of a Police Chevrolet Impala made Prime's spark swell with happiness "I bring you greetings Prowl(1)…It has been a while since we have seen each other."

The newly named Prowl grinned "Well, well, well if it isn't young Optimus…By my driveshaft, I thought you were dead…Where am I?"

"On planet called Earth my friend…One galaxy over. Home to multiple species, humans and animals and now the new battleground for us and the Decepticons but we have new allies…They are willing to give us a chance." Explained Optimus.

"What of the Cube?"

"Gone from the form we knew it…it has taken a new form. Come we must make haste." With that the Peterbuilt and Police Cruiser sped off heading to the rendezvous point.

Crosshairs and Ironhide found the next four and Ironhide groaned "Problem Ironhide?" Asked Harry as he prepped his machinegun, he had never seen the weapon specialist groan in exasperation before.

"We have Twelve Autobots not six…But these four are two sets of twins…One pair are Skids(2) and Mudflap(3) two practical jokers, younger than Bumblebee who'll be happy to know he's no longer the baby. It's the other two that I'm worried about…bluntly they're sociopaths the Yellow one is Sunstreaker(4) and the other is Sideswipe(5)…Bad news Sunstreaker looks down on everyone and complains about everyone else's shortcomings…Sideswipe not as sociopathic but still quite sociopathic is every bit as skilled is more of a fighter for the sport but you can depend on him to be reckless."

"Well look at who looks like Scrounger's ass." Said Sunstreaker and Harry groaned.

"Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Skids, Mudflap, welcome to earth. I have a feeling none of us are going to get you to listen to us so I ask the more mature twin to keep the other under control…Follow Ironhide to the Rendezvous point. We need to find the other seven Autobots."

"Allow me to assist, the name as you guessed is Sideswipe…I apologise for my brother. Who are we looking for exactly?" Harry shrugged "Unfortunately I don't who we are looking for."

Epps tapped Harry on the shoulders "Three motorbikes."

Three motorbikes appeared in the alley "Well, well, well it appears the ladies have arrived…I'm trying my luck." Said Sunstreaker a smirk appearing on his face beneath the hood of his alternate form, getting everyone to roll their eyes.

Ironhide shifted back and his optics widened "No way, Harry you may be lucky but this is unreal…It can't be them."

Then the Ducati 1098s (6), Aprilia RSV (7) and the Suzuki Hayabusa (8) shifted into definite female Autobots. "I'm Elita-1!" Announced the Ducati befor gesturing to the Aprilia "That is Chromia the eldest of us three-" She then indicated to the Hayabusa "And that is Arcree. I understand you two humans have links with Optimus Prime? Will you take us to him?"

Harry nodded "Ironhide, radio."

"Catch."

"Peterbuilt Boss, Major Lennox this Hawk...do you read?"

"This is Peterbuilt, I read you Hawk. What is your concern?"

"Sir, I have recieved information from Eastwood (Ironhide's call sign) that we have twelve loyalists instead of six and multiple sets of twins."

Optimus's optics widened "Who have you got?"

"Three females..."

"Femmes."

"Copy three Femmes; Skids and Mudflap; Sideswipe and Sunstreaker."

"I have Prowl."

"Roger that...eight down, four unaccounted for. Will send them back to rendezvous point."

With that the connection was cut and Crosshairs transformed with Epps climbing in. "Follow Crosshairs...Ironhide and I will find the other four."

Katie and Hound fist bumped each other "The Wrecker's are going to love me!"

Standing before her was a fused Autobot on four legs with two heads and when they transformed it was into a fused F-16 Phantom Fighter Jet. "Names Rack 'n' Ruin (9)...We are conjoined bots. OIT! IMPACTOR(10) GET OUT HERE!"

Out of the Darkness came an armoured MRAP Cougar emerged "Holy shit Hound!"

Katie couldn't help but cry tears of joy "Come on we need to head to the rendezvous point."

"Is there anyone else from the Autobot cause?" Asked Impactor in a deep voice.

"Let's see Prime; 'hide, Ratchet, Jazz, 'Bee, Crosshairs, Hound, Leadfoot, Roadbuster and Topspin that we know of. Shift your shafts or be left behind."

The other two that were found was a bulky Search and Rescue Hummer Medical Femme by the name of Clank and coindcidentally spark mates with Ratchet (props if you get the name) and Jolt. Jolt had the form of an electric blue Chevrolet Volt, the mass of Autobots arrived back at the planes to find Donnelley, Figg and the SAS/SBS teams both sitting with two massive Jeep Highlanders the only difference between them was one was dirt brown (11) and the other a fiery red (12).

"Pyro and Dustcloud...two more Wreckers." Proclaimed Ironhide making Harry groan.

"Just how many of you Wrecking bastards are their?"

With the months to come Harry would be always grateful for the raw amount of 'Bots NEST had at its disposal, they would provide great support in the oncoming months.
