Autobot Base

Fowler was in need of Primes help, since this was a massive break out. Ever since yesterday, General Bryce has called upon any and all military personnel to track down and destroy the MECH transformer. Once Fowler had landed onto the base, he rushed to the elevator, needing to report back to General Bryce as soon as possible. He pressed the button to go down and was ready to tell the team of what had just happened. Before he got to the command room, he thought of how could this have happened. Was there a second control system, or was it signaled to go back to another secret MECH base? After a few seconds he got to the command room, where he yelled his usual greeting card.

"PRIME!" Fowler yelled. "We got a code red."

"What is it Agent Fowler?" Optimus asked.

"Yesterday at four pm, the copy of you burst out of its containment and is now on the loose!" Fowler explained.

"Wait, are you saying that Nemesis Prime just got up and ran?" Ratchet asked.

"That is exactly what happened." Fowler said. "But since we didn't think it would get back up again, we didn't bother putting on a tracker."

"So, the big bad copy is out there running to who knows were." Arcee said.

"I thought we got all the MECH bases?" Bulkhead said.

"If we are dealing with Nemesis Prime then we must have missed one, but if there is one base still in operation, then who is leading them now?" Ratchet questioned.

"I don't know who and I don't know where, we need to get that thing back in our hands before it attacks civilians." Fowler said. "Or worse, meets up with Megatron."

"Either way, we cannot allow my double to remain at large." Optimus said. "So we must split into teams, Bulkhead and Arcee, you are team one, Bumblebee and Ratchet, you will be team two."

"Optimus, who choose me?" Ratchet asked.

"Because if the military is going to hunt down my double then I can be mistaken for him, so I will remain here and man the ground bridge." Optimus said.

"Fine, I guess that makes logical sense." Ratchet said.

"Awsome, I can see Bulkhead tear into Nemesis!" Miko yelled with glee.

"Miko, if you were to run off with Bulkhead, you would most likely be a distraction that MECH will exploit." Optimus said. "So I cannot allow that."

"Aww." Miko said slumping down into the couch.

"Anyways, I have strike forces looking around for any sign of that truck, it couldn't have gone far." Fowler said.

"Thank you Agent Fowler." Optimus said. "Autobots, roll out!"


Workshop

It was the middle of the afternoon, but I was still in bed. I didn't want to deal with anyone at that point since I found out that my truck is actually a giant robot. That was the only thing on my mind at that point, how lucky am I that I get to have a robot as a vehicle. The giant robot, who's name is Nemesis, acts like a scared kid with nobody to protect him. But if what he said was true, then he was a weapon. A United States military weapon that looks like a civilian semi-truck, that was a scary thought. This has to be some sort of alien technology, or the military really has been keeping secrets and this is one that slipped out. The thing that scared me most about Nemesis is that there could be more like him, more military bots that who knows could do how much damage. But if the military is making these things, then who are they going to fight? Before I could think of another part of what I had discovered, my dad walks into my room and yanks the blankets from my bed.

"Dad, i'm tired." I groaned. "Just let me sleep."

"Sorry honey, but I came in here to tell you that i'm going into town to fix Mrs. Pulaski's car." my father said.

"Again, that's the third time this month." I groaned sitting up.

I know, but she can't do it, she's eighty years old, and Bill isn't much younger than her." my father said. "I'll be back later, so manage the shop when i'm gone."

"How long are you going to be gone?" I asked.

"Don't know, but get dressed and eat breakfast, today is going to be a busy day." my father said.

"Fine." I said getting out of bed. "Even though I was going to work on my truck."

"I know that you want to fix it up, but right now I need you to go down and help customers." my father said. "But when i'm back, you can go fix it to your hearts content."

"T-thanks dad." I said. "See you when you get back."

"Sure thing, bye." my father said walking out of my room.

After he said that I grabbed my suspender jeans and went into the bathroom. I turned on the shower and started to undress, still thinking of what Nemesis was. I got into the warm shower and rinsed my hair, feeling the warm water go through it. At that moment I could only think of what Nemesis' purpose, what he was built for. Maybe Nemesis is the code name for the program that made him? I could go on with this for hours, but since today was a Saturday, I had to be down stairs and in the junkyard. I grabbed the shampoo bottle and squirted some on my hand, placing the bottle back on the counter. I rub the shampoo into my hair profusely, making sure that I get it into every part of my scalp. I rinsed out the shampoo and stood in the shower for a little while longer, just getting the soothing feeling of my muscles loosening up. I turn off the water and dry off, drying my hair with my hair dryer that I got for my fifteenth birthday. I put on some clothes and walk out to get some breakfast. I walk into the kitchen and get a bowl of cereal. I sit down and start to eat, that is when I head the door to the shop open up. I sign, getting up and heading down to greet the customer.

"Hello, and welcome to Don and Daughters Fix and Repair, how may I help you?" I ask in a polite tone. "Oh, Mr. Maxwell, how are you?"

"Hi there Kiera, just here to get some grinding wheels." Mr. Maxwell said. "I'm good so far, is your dad here?"

"No, he's out helping Mrs. Pulaski with her car." I said. "But I can help you if you need it."

"Thank you deer, but I can pick up a few pounds of grinding wheels." Mr. Maxwell said. Bringing up twelve grinding wheels to the counter "How much do I owe you?"

"That will be fifteen dollars and twenty six cents." I said.

"Here's a twenty, keep the change." Mr. Maxwell said. "Have a good day."

"You to sir." I said watching Mr. Maxwell pick up his grinding wheels and walking out the door. "You to."

Once he had left, I heard and noise coming from the workshop. I immediately think it's Nemesis, since he's been in there the entire night. I shrug and go into the back, seeing that several tools were knocked over and out of place. I look around and see Nemesis huddled into a corner, trying to sink like last night into the corner. I was confused by what he was doing, but I would ask him later. I picked up the tools and placed them into their usual spots, making sure none of them were damaged in the process.

"Are… Are you going to hurt me?" Nemesis asked.

"What, no." I said. "Why would I hurt you?"

"I transformed and knocked over those metal pieces, I didn't know if I was in trouble." Nemesis said.

"You're fine, i'm not mad at you." I said in a soothing voice.

"Y-you're not?" Nemesis asked.

"Why would I be, you didn't know any better." I said. "But I guess that's what happens when you don't know what's right from wrong."

"I-I guess I can see that." Nemesis said. "What are you doing?"

"Oh, I have to run the shop until my dad gets back." I said.

"D-dad, you mean the man that was in here last night?" Nemesis asked.

"Yes, he's m father." I said. "But I just want the secret to be between you and me."

"I know, I remember that." Nemesis said.

"I know you do, I just want to help." I said giving him a smile. "You kinda act like a kid."

"K-kid?" Nemesis asked. "Is that a bad thing?"

"Oh no, it's a good thing, it means that you have a lot to learn." I said. "So don't worry, you're fine."

"Okay." Nemesis said. "And thank you for letting me be here."

"You can stay as long as you want." I said. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

"Thank you." Nemesis said.

I give him a small smile, thinking how can he be a weapon if he acts like a like a baby? As I turn to go back into the front, I hear the door open. I signal Nemesis to get back into truck form and I walk back into the front. As I do I see the one person that I didn't want to see right now, Timothy Parks. Tim was a mess to begin with, he was the usual nerd of the school. He would often get bullied and didn't have any friends, but his worst part was that he couldn't get a girlfriend. He always tried to impress me, but ultimately fail at even thinking of trying to. He tried to hook up with me for so long that it was now a cliche at our school. He would try, I would reject, he would go away for a week. I was not interested in him, or anybody at this point since Jasper had either jerks, jocks, nerds, or druggies. I didn't really care for a relationship with anyone, especially him of all people. The only redeeming qualities of Tim was him never giving up, that that mainly shocked most of the people in school. He was a nice guy, but definitely not my type.

"Oh great." I said with a groan.

"Oh, hi Kiera, didn't know you work here." Tim said.

"I live here, you know this." I said. "Now what do you want?"

"I just came here to get some rotors for a project that i'm making." Tim said. "Do you have any?"

"Yes we do." I said pulling out a box of small rotors. "How many?"

"Hmm, about six will do." Tim said.

"Six rotors, that will be thirty five dollars and seventy cents." I said.

"Also, I was wondering if you would like to go to the spring dance?" Tim asked. "You know, as friends."

"Debit or credit?" I said annoyed.

"Or you know, we could go out to see a movie, I heard that the new Cyberbeast's is coming out on Tuesday." Tim said.

"Cash then." I said blowing him off.

"You know what, i'm just going to say it." Tim said puffing up his already small chest. "Will you go out with me?"

"No." I said bluntly.

"What, why?" Tim asked.

"I'm already seeing someone." I said.

"Really, who?" Tim asked.

"It's none of your business." I said.

"Listen, I know you can beat me to last week, but please, just one date." Tim pleaded.

"Are my eyes brown?" I ask.

"No, they're more like a blue shade." Tim said.

"Then you know my answer." I said. "Now go."

"Fine, here." Tim said holding out the money. Tim walked towards the door with his rotors, but not before he said something else. "I will win the next time!"

"No, you won't." I said.

"G-goodbye." Tim said walking out the door.

I signed, getting a drink of water. "Funny, but annoying." I said. " But he does have heart, that's for sure."
