Preface: This was inspired by two fanfics one called gate Crasher and another i cannot remember the name of. Gate Crasher had a powered protagonist whist I shall have a regular chump with a good memory and such. Hope you all enjoy let's dance.

"10 miles to go" He said as he looked dead in front. He smiled.

It was the most wonderful time of year, well technically a day after but who cared. Young 19 year old Jacob Allston was driving a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with a blue paint job. The road was covered in a thick layer of snow as he focused with every fibre of his being. In the backseat was what he had gotten yesterday when he went to the Christmas party his parents threw. A smile crept back up as he continued driving. He lived only 20 miles away and had a decent job as a radio DJ. It paid pretty well and plus he didn't put on any crap so everyone was happy there. Flakes of snow gently floated down from the clouds above giving the drive a dream like quality. Driving up a steep hill he could see a green glow from just past the tip. What the...he began to think. Suddenly the the entire hill lit up like a bomb went off. His eyes went wide as he looked around in fear. All around him vanished into green and white as Jacob slammed the gas out of instinct. The engine roared as the vortex swirled round and round. Something about it was familiar...just what was it?. Keeping foot to metal he pushed the thoughts back as he raced for the tunnels exit outta fear. It was a shaft of pure light as it drew closer with each second. Looking back he saw the hole he had entered was pure black. A shiver raced down his spine. Looking back the light suddenly over took him and he felt a jolt from the suspension. Ground. His eyes readjusted and he saw a dirt road and grass on both his left and right. He now felt suddenly hot, like he had stepped into an oven. Skidding to a dead stop he breathed deeply.

"Holy fuck what was that?!" Jacob questioned as he looked sharply.

The vortex slowly shrank and vanished into nothing. His eyes looked on before he pulled himself back looking forwards now he suddenly gasped. A ground bridge?!. Looking back it wasn't their but it's circle like shape clung to his mind. Birds chirped as he opened his door. Throwing his jacket onto the seat he did a quick look around. Mostly grassy fields and a few trees. The temperature was well past 25 from what felt he must have traveled far south in less than a minute. Hallucination was a good idea but he was clean as a whistle. Another was dreaming but the sudden heat was far to real killing the idea. Leaning against the back door he bit his lower lip and sighed deeply.

"This can't be real. it doesn't even exist" he muttered lowly.

Crossing his arms he had a strange feeling of déjà vu. He felt that he seen this place before in his past. He had a good memory an exceptional one at that But he was prone to forget that at least some things at least.

"Sent by a ground bridge to a dirt road with grass and trees all around..." Trailing off he could hear the rumble of an engine from over the hill. "If it's him I'm gonna lose my mind" He added looking to the hill.

A red charger like car with horns on the hood drove out form over the hill. It looked exactly like him and it probably did look like him. God knows how calm he managed to be but he needed answers and the best choice was the bots and they would find him useful which wasn't a bad thing. Cliffjumper drew closer and Jacob begin waving his hands above his head signalling for him to stop. Surprisingly the autobot slowed and the window rolled down and he saw a human figure who looked like the Rock. Ok that's kinda fucked. He thought as he walked over.

"Gotta problem or ya just lonely?" Cliffjumper said with a smirk on the holographic figures face.

Resisting the urge to grab the man he stood less than 5 inches away. He would only phase right through if he did try to grab him anyway. He hoped Arcee on the other end wouldn't hear him.

"No not really, but you do" Jacob said ominously.

"Really now...what would that be pipsqueak?" Cliff chuckled in response.

Jacob frowned and leaned in resting his hand on the roof.

"That signal you got it's a trap. Decepticons are waiting on ya and their pretty energon hungry" Jacob replied his tone filling with grief. "I can explain but I'd like an audience with Optimus prime so I can make my case" He finished making Cliff shudder.

"You a con?" He asked and Jacob simply shook his head to both sides. "Then how?" He added with scepticism.

Jacob stood straight and took his hand from the roof.

"I will explain just be patient please" Jacob said keeping his voice calm.

That was the first thing from the truth. Internally he was a mess, wanting to scream as loud as he can to the highest of heavens. Cliff grumbled and began to drive, ignoring him.

"Do you wish to die and break Arcee even more!" Jacob shouted drawing or caution to the wind as he began walking To match the bot. "Then if you die I will just go to your base in Jasper Nevada!" Jacob now going full in made cliff stop dead.

Tilting his mirrors he saw the seriousness on the boys human face. In his eyes was a truth unlike no other. The boy held firm as he kept in toe as Cliff transformed and looked down at the boy. He wasn't even fazed by him as he only looked back. So small but yet he was even afraid. Kids got bearings that's for sure. Cliff mused looking to the boys blue car. It had four doors a trunk and a hood nothing special really, aside from the fact he had never seen it before. The name didn't come to mind either and after three years on earth it certainly should've if it did exist.

"If you wanna take on the whole nemesis go ahead, I don't have a date with death and never will" Jacob said walking to his car.

Cliff watched his as he slid into the driver seat. He's in a deep sigh he chuckled.

"Alright kid I'll bite. But tell me first and then I'll take you in" Cliff threw in an ultimatum.

Jacob smirked and nodded.

"Starscream kills you on the bridge of the nemesis, for me none of it was real it was just an animated series that I tried to watch every Saturday. Do you want to hear more?" Jacob said catching cliff off a bit.

He nodded. Jacob began to explain, not how events would go but rather how he got here and why he knew everything. Cliffjumper was in for a nasty shock everyone was and hopefully Jacob could return home. After a minute of a quick summary of what lead to him ending up here Cliffjumper looked at him and then his body. Confusion struck him like a hammer. Jacob felt the same.

"I'm just as confused as you. My theory is a multi-verse but I feel ratchet would argue against it since he really loves to bicker" Jacob said as chuckle sounded.

"Not wrong, but doc knows best sometimes...just don't call him that" Cliff responded still shocked.

"I know, shall we?" Jacob said as cliff nodded in agreement.

Ratchet was first to return to base. Shortly after was Optimus. It was five minutes later when Cliff pinged for a bridge. Ratchet opened it as Optimus clasped his hands together.

"Did you find anything?" He asked.

"Not really more dirt and rocks. I can't wait to leave this rock and those humans behind" Ratchet mildly complained.

Optimus kept neutral as he only shrugged every so slightly. Once the former data clerk Orion pax, Optimus prime stood nearly 30 feet tall whist ratchet was 27 along with Bumblebee. Cliffjumper was 24 feet tall whist his partner Arcee was 17 feet tall. Last was bulkhead who was 25 feet and had far more strength then he let on.

Ratchet pulling the ground bridge lever waited for cliff to drive in. Cliff rolled in through the swirling green vortex Followed by a blue car making Ratchet freeze dead. Oh come on!. He internal yelled now seeing the human behind the wheel. Optimus was puzzled but knew Cliff would explain himself and clear it up. Hopefully the cons weren't involved here.

Parking his car near the human area which was now blank he opened his door. He could hear Cliffjumper relaying everything he said to him as accurately as possible. Closing the door he could feel ratchet's optics on him. He smirked and glanced over at him.

"Scraplet got your tongue?" Jacob jokingly asked.

"N-no" Ratchet stuttered and continued. "Besides you wouldn't understand anyway"

Jacob smirked and chuckled aloud. The poor doctor. Adjusting his shirt he stood straight.

"Ratchet I know you don't like humans. Deceptacon's more so but let me be frank...I'm not here or my own choice. And I'm stuck here till you can find a way to bridge me back" Jacob droned on in an intelligent way.

Ratchet raised an eyebrow in confusion. Before he could speak Optimus came close and looked down at the young boy. Both looked at her as Cliffjumper was searching the car on the internet.

"Your claims are odd mr allston. You claim to be from another world were me and my auto bots are fictional?" Optimus said his deep voice sending a slight echo through the room.

Nodding Jacob gave himself a pick on the arm only to feel the pain. Still not dreaming. He mused taking a deep breath. Locking eyes with the prime he could see the subtle reaction from Optimus.

"Please call me Jacob mr Allston was my father. A ground bridge Appeared from nowhere and engulfed my car, blindly I stepped on the gas and shot out the other end...I have a dash cam but it's not fully useful in convincing you," He paused and regained some composure. "If I hadn't done what I did with Cliff jumper he would've died to Starscream's hands. Your numbers are as thin as ever and you're gonna need every ounce of help you can get...besides Arcee's already lost tailgate and she would've seen a lot worse after cliffs death I can assure of you that" Jacob went on making Cliff gasp and Optimus take a step backwards.

Ratchet looked on feeling this went far deeper than he had ever thought.

"And you know this much thanks to the show...interesting" Optimus pondered.

Jacob with unease opened the trunk of his car.

"The show came out 10 years ago. On Christmas, yesterday my mother...oh dear god" He realized so suddenly. "Here" he muttered laying an old still packaged toy on the roof.

Optimus looked at it. It was him miniaturized down into a toy. Surprise came over everyone as they looked at it. It was so uncanny to boot.

"The Multiverse theory is the only way this could be even remotely possible" Ratchet said looking to Optimus.

Grabbing the toy Jacob stuffed it away and looked back into the trunk. He chuckled. It faded and a more sober expression took hold.

"I would love to be in the same room as the person who brought me here" Jacob muttered with bitterness.

Clenching his fist he closed the trunk with a dry look. Optimus saw it Grief, pain and unease. A truth behind his eyes, pure blue which held no lies behind them.

"Thank you Jacob...hopefully Ratchet can send you home..." Optimus said only for Jacob to bluntly say.

"I'm not gonna hold my breath. I don't know how or who but I am here now for a reason, who I do not know but maybe it will become clearer with time why I am here" Jacob sounding shaken moved over to the driver door. "Cliff can you help me hide this" Jacob asked shoving all his pain aside.

Cliff nodded and walked over.

"Ratchet call agent Fowler, I'll explain everything myself" Optimus said instinctively catching on.

"What for?" Ratchet inquired.

Jacob sliding into the seat looked to Ratchet.

"Well I need to get set up and I'd send Bumblebee and Bulkhead to jasper, two cons are gonna pull a move and it'll get a lot more crowded that's for certain" Jacob said making the mech pale.

"More humans oh dear lord" Ratchet realized in dismay.

Optimus smiled as he nodded and heeded the warning. Ratchet moved over to the computer and brought up coms.
