Workshop

Now, today's work was done, I can finally relax and help Nemesis with repairs. My father came back after a few hours of me being in the shop and said that Mrs. Pulaski's car was in desperate need of repair, so much so that he suggested to just get a new car all together. After he got back I told him about my day and how Tim came around and asked me out again, for the hundredth time. My dad just laughed and said that he was more stubborn than a brick wall. I laughed along with him and went into the back to where Nemesis was, making sure that dad wasn't going to see him. I instructed Nemesis to go into the junk yard so I can get the parts he needs to be fixed, and he did just that. Once we got to a safe enough location I told Nemesis that it may hurt when I take off his metal plating and replace it. He understood, but was still scared of what happened at the military base. I started to take off the metal plates and set them down next to some broken down cars.

"Okay, that was tough." I said wiping off the sweat from my forehead. "Are you alright Nemesis?"

"Y-yes, it didn't hurt as I thought it would have." Nemesis said. "What now?"

"Now i'm going to get some spare panels that we have." I said looking around the junkyard. "If I can find some at least."

I start my search for the panels that Nemesis needs for his truck form. I made sure to go to the spare parts section first since that is where we store most of the salvaged parts from destroyed cars. Once I get there I notice that there are two side panels that would fit perfectly for Nemesis, but they were hot pink. Whoever thought putting hot pink onto a semi-truck was a good idea needs to get a therapist. I sign since they are the only side panels in the spare parts section, but I need the top panel and two doors as well. I put the side panels on a cart and begin my search for the other parts. As I search I notice that the amount of car doors is low, and that was bad. I remember the last set of car doors that we sold a week ago and how we may my father and I may need to go through more of the newly destroyed cars to try and get new parts. I keep looking around until I see a blue top panel and a green right door. I was happy to find them so I can fix up Nemesis, but I needed to find one more door. I look around some more and see that we are out of truck doors, well crap. I go and head back to Nemesis with what I have, passing by a few broken down cars.

As i'm passing by the cars I see that there is a truck that has a red left door, the exact one that I need. I drop the cart in excitement, pulling out my screwdriver and proceeding to try and take off the screws. The first screw I try and take out was the most stubborn, but I persisted. I used all my strength to try and get it loose, but in the process the screwdriver slips and cuts my arm, causing a small gash and making it bleed. I yell out in pain, but this was nothing new, but it still hurt. I grab my handkerchief and some duct tape and try and wrap it around the gash. I had some water and poured in onto the gash, reducing the bleeding a bit. I wrap the handkerchief around my arm and tear pieces of duct take off and put it on the edges of the handkerchief. Once I get it patched up as best I could I proceed to take off the door and wheel the cart to Nemesis.

"Hey, i'm back." I said getting to Nemesis.

"H-hey, what happened to your arm?" Nemesis asked.

"Oh, I just hurt myself with a screwdriver, it's nothing serious." I said laughing it off. "Now, lets get these parts on you."

I put down the cart and take each panel out of it and put it on each proper side. I take out my power tools and start placing the panels and doors onto Nemesis. I hear Nemesis grunt a few times, so I slow down the use of the tools to make him feel more comfortable. One by one, piece by piece, I put on the panel and the doors. Once i'm done I look back to see the new plates on Nemesis, easy to say that I laughed a little bit by the mixed colors. I stopped laughing and told Nemesis to transform into his giant mode, wondering what he looks like with the new panels. He transforms, but remains low to the ground to make sure that nobody sees him. His arms and lower chest plates are all over the place with color. His arms were hot pink, his center chest plate was green, his right chest plate was blue, and his left chest plate was red.

"Well, you look like a rainbow." I said. "How does it feel?"

"It feels the same as before, but I do not like the colors." Nemesis said. "Am I going to remain like this?"

"What no, the shop has a repaint section for people who want a different color car." I said. "Just drive around and i'll pick out your color."

"O-okay." Nemesis said. "I-I can't thank you enough."

"It's alright, now let's get you out of those colors." I said walking over to the repaint section.

I start up the system and look at the paints that we have. For semi-truck repaints, the paint needs to be at seventy five percent full to fully cover the truck, the only one that is like that is jet black. I think for a moment to see if I can mix colors, but I disregard that seeing black as the best color for Nemesis. I see Nemesis pull up to the repaint section and get him into position, he was scared that the paint was going to be worse than his current colors now. I reassure him that he's going to look good in all black, but I need to cover the silver parts first so it doesn't get all over him. I take some tape and cover the silver parts, windows, and crevices, so now I can now paint him. I tell him that all will be fine and there is nothing to worry about, giving him a smile to reassure him of what i'm going to do. I press the start button and watch at the jet black paint starts to cover Nemesis all over. As I watch I look at Nemesis, seeing that even though he acts like a lost child, he knows when to trust people. After a few minutes the spraying is complete, Nemesis is now covered in jet black paint. I say to him that he will have to wait for the paint to dry, but thanks to the new heat dryers that it won't take long. After a few minutes the paint has fully dried, now it's time for me to take off the tape. Once I take it off I take Nemesis back to where I put on the panels on him.

"Alright, let's see your new look." I said with a smile. Nemesis transforms into his giant mode and I was shocked by the result. His new paint job was really good, I didn't think that I was going to be good at it. Even though he was on his knees, I could tell that the jet black pant was really good on him. "Wow, I didn't think it would be this good."

"I-is that bad?" Nemesis asked.

No, it's great, it means that I did a better job than I thought I would have done." I said.

"Oh, well thank you again for this." Nemesis said.

"No problem, you look great."


Autobot Base

Optimus was at the base looking for any and all signs of Nemesis, his counterpart. After searching for several hours of finding nothing he didn't know what to do. Optimus signed, not knowing where his copy could be hiding, or where the new MECH base was. After some thinking he thought of something that could help him. He knew of a saying that the humans used, 'never judge a book by its cover', and since Nemesis was remote controlled he couldn't have gone far. He checked the satellites and looked over Jasper, thinking if Nemesis Prime was in town. Optimus looked anywhere that looked suspicious in Jasper, trailer parks, auto repair shops, every thing.

After searching a few more places, the satellites picked up something, a small energon signal in a junk yard not to far from town. He enhanced the picture over the junkyard, trying to see if Nemesis was actually there. After enhancing the image to be directly above the junkyard and having 4k definition, he found what he was looking for. He found a similar build to himself, but in all black. Just by looking at the picture he knew that it was Nemesis Prime. He looked up the place of where the picture was taken, 'Don and Daughters Fix and Repair', an auto repair shop. Optimus looked at who was closest to the shop, and it was Bulkhead and Arcee who were the closest.

"Bulkhead, Arcee, come in." Optimus said.

*What is it, Optimus?* Arcee asked.

"I have found Nemesis' location, it is close to your position, it is an auto repair shop outside of Jasper." Optimus said. "I will contact Agent Fowler, but take precaution when engaging Nemesis."

*Got it boss.* Bulkhead said.

*Don't worry Optimus, we got this.* Arcee said.

"Over and out." Optimus said.

"Whoa, you found the copycat?" Jack asked.

"Indeed Jack, but I must remain here for other's safety, even though I stand the best chance at taking Nemesis down." Optimus said.

"I get that Optimus, but are you sure it is really him?" Jack asked.

"I am certain, Jack." Optimus said. "But even I am wrong when it comes to decisions."

"Just like humans." Jack said giving off a smile.

"Indeed, that is what makes us linked." Optimus said smiling back at Jack. Optimus looked back at the monitor and contacted Fowler for support. "Agent Fowler, I have found Nemesis' location, sending you the coordinates."

*Got it Prime, i'm on my way.* Fowler said.


Nemesis

Soundwave was searching for any new relics that could be found for the war against the Autobots. After decoding another set of Iacon coordinates, something came up on his scanner, an Autobot signal, but a little corrupted. He stopped his work and kept the coordinates of the signal in place on his screen. He walked over to Megatron, His master. Soundwave tapped Megatron on the shoulder and brought up the coordinates. Megatron turned around, wondering what Soundwave had found.

"Another set of Iacon coordinates?" Megatron asked. After more looking at Soundwaves visor, Megatron was shocked that another Autobot was on this planet. "Another Autobot, on Earth, this is most dreadful news. If this truly is an Autobot, then I will deal with him myself."


Workshop

It was about four o'clock and I was tired of working, thankfully nobody was coming in at this time so I can spend time with Nemesis. During my spare time, I showed him what life it like out here, and what humans did. I showed him different tv shows, games, and even memes, I know how original. But Nemesis was interested in what I had to show him, but he kept asking one question, 'What am I?'. I didn't know what to say when he asked me that, but I needed to make sure he didn't get even more scared than he already is.

"And this is a show that I like to watch, it's called Star Wars the Clone Wars." I said.

"W-what is it about?" Nemesis asked.

"It's about people who look alike taking down droids with leaders who have the force." I said.

"What is the 'force'?" Nemesis asked.

"It's something that helps those who have it connect with the galaxy, and be able to levitate rocks." I said. "And no, it's not real."

"Oh, okay." Nemesis said. "T-thank you."

"For what?" I ask.

"For everything, for letting me stay here even though we just met." Nemesis said.

"It's fine, and you don't have to say that every time you see me." I said. "You are perfect and I am grateful you are here with me."

"I am to, i'm so glad you are here for me." Nemesis said. Before Nemesis could say anything else, the screen from when he woke up popped back up, but it said something different. The screen said something was coming, and at the bottom it was danger. This scared Nemesis even more, sending him into a panic. "Oh no, they must be here."

"Who, who's here!?" I asked wondering what Nemesis was scared about.

"T-the military, it says there are two vehicles approaching!" Nemesis said.

"Oh crap, if they know you are here then you are in danger." I said. "You need to run."

"W-what about you?" Nemesis asked.

"I can go with you, the military won't hurt me since i'm a citizen." I said. "Now transform and lets get you somewhere safe."

Nemesis nodded, transforming into his truck form. I ran over to the driver side of him, climbing in and buckling up. Just as Nemesis was going to drive out of the shop, my dad came out, this is not good.

"Kiera, I need you for a second." my father said.

"Sorry dad, I can't right now." I said.

"What, why?" my father asked.

"Because-WHOA!" I yelled as Nemesis pushed down the gas and went full speed out of the workshop. Nemesis turned to the road and speed up to his top speed, going fast away from the workshop.
