Chapter One

Location: Jasper, Nevada, United States

Timedate: 26th November 2010

The last Friday before December, and the sun was already setting on the seemingly quiet and peaceful Americana town. Two young girls, sixteen of age, made their way along the pavement.

"We've done some good cheerleading today, Amber," the slightly older redhead compliment.

"Cheers, Sierra," the slightly younger blonde said. "Though I usually prefer if we also had some time to do some actual sports ourselves. You know, like rugby, football, cricket, basketball?"

"I'm sure you can do that in your spare time, maybe in the weekends."

During the talk, Amber spotted what seemed to be a blue motorbike cruising by, whose driver was completely covered up in a black and full leather suit, almost feminine in shape. Almost immediately, it was followed by two dark purple cars of identical model close behind. As soon as they went well ahead and out of sight, she turned her attention back to Sierra.

"Hey, wanna get some lunch at KO Burger?" Amber asked.

"That place?" Sierra questioned with a subtle gag of disguise. "Definitely my last choice to eat, if even that."

"At least you might get to see that boy you like," Amber teased.

"Who?"

"The one at the gym you keep staring at."

"You serious?"

"Yeah, I think I've seen him work there the few times I visited the place."

As soon as they turned around the corner, they spotted a particular boy, aged sixteen yet slightly older than the two girls, in a grey T-shirt and jeans handling a familiar motorbike, almost as if he were flirting with it, before he hopped onto it. Amber immediately cocked a brow at the sight; didn't she just see that same bike just mere moments ago? Was that boy the one driving it? It couldn't be it, Amber distantly remembered the previous driver wearing different clothing. Could he be borrowing or even stealing it? Or was it another identical bike?

"It may take a few KO paychecks," the two girls heard the boy mutter out loud. "But I am gonna own a ride like you someday."

"Are you talking to your motorcycle?" Sierra asked the boy, snapping him out of his daze and causing the two girls to burst into a light chuckle.

"Uh, my motorcycle? No. I-I mean, yes, yes!" the boy stammered. "It- It's mine, but, uh no, I-I'm not talking- Well, to you, I-I am." He looked away and rubbed the back of his head, almost blushing. "How's things, Sierra? Take you for a spin sometime?"

However, Amber caught a glimpse of one of the motorbike's mirrors moving by itself, almost hearing something muttering from it in a deep female voice. Slightly put off at first, Amber quickly brushed it off as some new fancy gimmick of this bike model.

"You know my name?" Sierra said with a questioning tone.

"We are in homeroom together," the boy explained before introducing himself proper. "I am Jack, Jack Darby." Just then, a blinding light flashed up on all three, causing them to cover their eyes, accompanied by a loud sound of roaring engines. Turning to see the source, they spotted something else familiar, the two dark cars from earlier that followed the motorbike. The cars then charged towards the humans as the two girls rushed off in a panicked instinct as Jack and the bike revved to the menacing vehicles.

Looking back, the girls saw Jack driving on the bike down the other way at high speed with the cars chasing suit.

"What the hell are those people?" Sierra said, catching her breath. "And what do they want with Jack?"

"I don't know," Amber panted and shrugged. "But they don't look exactly like police to me."

Meanwhile, somewhere close by, a small red robot climbed down a fence and scurried through a garden. He rustled and stepped over the trimmed grass as he scanned across the whole area around him with his single camera-like eye. So far, no major signs of life occurred around him, so he carried on towards to the house ahead.

Just then, his auditory sensors caught something amidst; the sound of crackling leaves somewhere close by. The tiny red mech took a step back and posed, ready to defend himself if necessary.

Before him was a feminine humanoid of similar small stature to the robot, with long blonde hair and donned in a white, yellow, and orange suit. Eyes wide and mouth slightly open, she tightly held what seemed to be a blade in hand.

"Who are you?" the robot asked.

"My name's Jari," the female humanoid introduced herself. "I'm a Queen Regent from Microspace."

"Never heard of that for sure," the red robot said before he introduced himself "I'm Highline, and I'm an Autobot from the planet Cybertron."

"I've been separated from my friends, and I'm trying to find them," Jari explained.

"Same with me," Highline admitted. "I'm intending to hide out in that large building over there." He paused, pointing at the otherwise normal house. "If you wish to come along."

"Might as well," Jari quickly accepted. "I highly doubt I'd be able to make it out here alive on my own anyway."

With that, the two small beings ran towards to the back door before eventually sneaking through into the pet flap door.

Character Bio - Amber Traynor

Full Name: Traynor, A.

Date of Birth: 13/06/1994

Nationality: American

Affiliation: Unknown

Species: Human (Homo sapiens)?

Profile: Resident of small town Jasper, Nevada, Amber is a shy individual, keeping mostly quiet and to herself unless spoken to, due to living most of her life with a single parent and without any memory or knowledge of who the other might be. She attends the Jasper Memorial High School with Sierra Krosney, Vince Raider, Jackson Darby, Miko Nakadai, and Rafael Esquivel. She often hangs out with Sierra on occasion, and may even harbour an unrequited crush on either the redhead, or even Miko herself. However, there may be more to at least one of these girls than meets the eye. Overtime, she'd become something of a witness to the presence of Transformers without even knowing: having seen Jack be driven off by a mysterious blue motorbike of unique design as he was chased by two dark purple cars, spotting Miko sneak off from detention and escape in a big green getaway lorry, spectating the race between Vince and Jack, and seeing Raf being picked up by a particular ambulance.
