In the Autobot command center on Earth, a red light flashes on and off. Ratchet investigates the issue and sees on the screen that a signal comes from a German special agent. A blond-haired man in his mid-thirties appears on one of the many large screens. His name is Thomas Meisner and he is standing in front of an orange house with four floors. He made contact with the Autobots using a tablet PC. He had been sent to this very ordinary house in the middle of a housing estate because energon radiation was being measured from there.

"Meisner at the Autobot base, do you hear me?", asked the Agent

"Loud and clear.", answered Ratchet

"There's an energon crystal under this house. He seems gigantic. He has to get out of here immediately before the Decepticons find him and blow up this settlement. "

"I see, I'll let Optimus know."

A short time later, the Ratchet stormed into the middle of a meeting between the Autobots and Special Agent Fouler. He handed a note to his leader.

Optimus Prime read it through and looked worried. He ended the meeting and left the room.

Ratchet ran next to him: "But how can such a gigantic energon crystal appear under a house?"

"I dont know. But I suspect that it crashed on Earth many thousands of years ago. Presumably layers of earth formed over time so that it was not discovered when the people were building the house, "said the Prime.

"What do you think we should do?" Asked Ratchet.

"We have to guard the crystal and get it out of there before the Decepticons do."

Optimus immediately had everything prepared for departure. It would be a long flight to Germany. And they would probably stay there for a few months until the crystal is broken down. Optimus Prime was therefore relieved that the Autobots had gradually learned to adopt the shape of a human. So they could mingle undetected with the people without anyone knowing (who did not have an energon detector) that they were dealing with alien life forms. The departure of the Autobots from the USA was quite strenuous, diplomatic stuff that cost Optimus additional time. That's why Optimus decided that he would leave for Germany with Bumblebee and Arcee. Because three Autobots were enough paperwork. Just a week later, the Autobots were able to cross the time zone by plane. Optimus would have preferred to fly off immediately, but as a well-known saying goes: there is strength in calm. So Optimus, Arcee and Bumblebee sat on the plane in their human form and had to be for many hours before they reached Germany. When they arrived at Berlin airport about 20 hours later, they secretly transformed themselves into their vehicle modes and drove off to the west, where the energon crystal had been discovered under a residential building.

Optimus drove with his trailer, which in this case was packed with furniture and other human luggage. They wanted to attract as little attention as possible. When they were close to their destination, Bumblebee and Arcee took their human form and got into the cab with Optimus. They now drove the red / blue truck into a parking lot in front of the orange house that was their destination. Optimus arranged for the three Autobots to move into the house in a vacant apartment on the first floor for a while. No sooner had Optimus parked here than Arcee and Bumblebee got out to empty the trailer. Arcee had the key and went ahead to unlock the apartment. It was conveniently right next to the front door. Unloading the truck alone was exhausting in their human form, but they received unexpected help from the neighbors of the surrounding houses and also from their own house. The Autobots didn't even think about the fact that such a big truck was almost a sensation in this small settlement ...

POV Lily

I was just sitting on my sofa and reading a book when my mother called from the living room: "Somebody is moving into the house again!"

I got up and closed my book. I put it on the table and went into the living room. I pushed the slats of the roller shutter to the side and looked outside at the parking lot in front of the house: "Oh man, take a look at the huge truck! The new residents must have brought a lot of stuff with them. Does it all fit into the apartment? ",

A big boom echoed through the hallway.

"Well, this will be a peaceful day ..." I said cynically and went back to my room. Here I turned on the TV and put on the headphones to hear the sound of the TV from there. I shook my head every now and then, because even the headphones couldn't reach the heavy furniture. For hours you could clearly hear furniture being dragged down the hall. In the evening, it was shortly before eight, there was the greatest noise and apparently only cardboard boxes were being carried into the apartment. You'd think half the neighborhood had helped with the move. My mother asked me to take out the garbage, as the traffic had probably eased a bit. Sighing, I went outside with the garbage bag packed. It was important to mention that the truck was still in the parking lot. So I tossed the trash bag in the trash can and then jumped off the one step onto the sidewalk that led to our house. When I turned around the garbage can, I bumped into someone. It was obviously one of the new neighbors because the man had two boxes in his arms. But now it was only one more, because he had dropped the second one by bumping into it and some files had spread out on the floor. Sometimes a few leaves had fallen from it.

"Oh sorry! I'm such a tramp sometimes! "I said. I knelt on the floor to collect the individual leaves before they are blown away.

"It's okay, it's not that bad," said a warm, dark voice.

As I picked up the leaves, I looked up at the man I had bumped into. He knelt down next to me and picked up the files to put them back in the empty box. The man was perhaps in his 30s and had black hair that gleamed blue in the sunlight. He had a three-day beard and warm, friendly blue eyes. He looked at me good-naturedly as I put the collected sheets of paper in the box. I had never seen so much goodness in one look.

"My name is Konvoi Primus. Who are you? "He asked me very kindly.

"Lily Jansen." I said.

"Oh, then we're neighbors."

"Really?" I asked as I walked back to the house next to him.

"I think we will get along well."

I nodded: "I hope so. The last ones who moved in here only make noise. "

I thought, shaking my head, of the two guys who have their balcony a few meters from my room window.

"Oh, don't worry. We are calm. ", Said Mr. Primus.

When I held the door open for him to let him into the hallway, my eyes fell on the parking lot. The big truck was gone. As if swallowed by the ground and that was pretty strange. After all, I should have noticed from the loud engine noise that the truck had driven away. But he wasn't. I was one hundred percent sure of that. I looked a little skeptical after the new neighbor who had stepped into his new apartment. It was funny because he was wearing a red shirt and blue pants. This man practically wore the partner look of the truck that had been in the parking lot a few moments ago. Something didn't seem right here. I went back to our apartment and asked my mother: "Mom, were you on the balcony again?"

"No, why?" She asked.

"Well because the truck has vanished into thin air!"

"That's not possible. You know that as well as I do. You were probably just distracted and didn't notice that the truck had driven away. "

"No, I do not think so. Didn't you notice that the truck didn't belong to a moving company? I didn't see any moving company logo on the trailer. Just this strange face ... "

"What are you talking about?"

"Well on the truck! There was a big face on it at the far end. It almost looked like ... hold on! No this can not be..."

"You're just imagining it. Forget it best and let's hope that these neighbors will keep quiet ... "
