Upon receiving word of the giant roach monster, all the emergency services were now making their way to Sumdac Systems. At a fast-food restaurant named Burger Bot, the chief of police was getting into his yellow compact car with the booty ordered.
"Warning! Code red! All units to Sumdac Systems! Repeat! Code red!" the police scanner announced, just before Captain Fanzone managed to take a bite out of his Burger Bot Burger.
Disappointed, he placed me on the car seat and installed his police siren on the roof. He then drove off towards the emergency.
The entire police force, most of the fire department, and several ambulances were waiting anxiously outside Sumdac Tower. Suddenly the roach monster, now three stories tall, leapt out of the building and roared.
Fanzone had finally arrived and sighed when he saw the creature. "This is why I hate machines," he pulled up a megaphone. "Test. Testing one, two." The megaphone squeaked irritably. "Will someone get me a bullhorn that works, for crying out loud?!" An officer handed him another megaphone.
"Alright!" Fanzone shouted into the bullhorn, "SWAT teams drive back being away from the civilians! Emergency crews, let's get those people evacuated now!"
The SWAT teams shot at the giant roach. The roach, however, was unaffected and grabbed a couple of police cars and absorbed them into its body.
Meanwhile, the fire department led Isaac Sumdac, the tour group, and almost all the scientists.
"But my daughter is still in there!" Professor Sumdac protested. "Sari! SARI!"
Sari was indeed still inside, looking for her robotic dog, which had managed to escape her again.
"Sparkplug!" Sari called, "Sparkplug! Sparkplug!" She then began waving her security key around. "Here, Sparky, I've got a tasty security key for you!"
Outside, the firemen were using their hoses to push the beast back, but then it reached out to grab their hoses. The firemen immediately retreated to a safe distance, and the creature absorbed their fire engines, getting even bigger.
"Bring out the big guns!" Fanzone ordered. The SWAT teams then armed themselves with bazookas and aimed for the roach monster. "On my signal!"
"Captain Fanzone, wait! You don't want to attack this creature!" Professor Sumdac advised.
"Watch me," Fanzone replied, "Fire!"
RPGs flew through the air at the giant insect and got absorbed into its body. Moments later, they exploded inside it, and goo began to cover the entire area.
"Ha, ha, smart bombs," Fanzone smiled. "Really, pack a punch."
Then a chunk of the creature landed on his head.
Everyone immediately cheered, believing that their wellies were over, but they quickly stopped when the pieces began to ooze over everything and collect into one giant mass that reformed itself into the roach, except for one piece which had fallen into Lake Erie and was now searching for something to absorb.
Deep down, at the bottom of the lake, the goo had found something. It had found the Orien and managed to slip through one of its cracks in the hull.
"Alert! Alert! Foreign object detected!" Teletraan-1 alerted.
The stasis pods that held the Autobots deactivated and awakened them.
They all stepped out of the stasis pods groaning and getting their bearings.
"How long have we been in stasis?" Optimus asked.
"And what's with the alarm?" Bumblebee yawned.
Prowl turned and saw some sort of goo crawling out of the vents. "Probably something to do with—"
The goo then jumped at him and completely covered his arm. He tried to shake it off, but it stuck to him like glue, but Ratchet was able to pull it away from him by using his magnets.
"Whatever it is, it definitely got circuitry and… something else," Ratchet noted.
Blackarachnia grabbed a scan and immediately began scanning the substance. "It's organic, but it seems to be mutated."
"Is a techno-organic?" Optimus asked.
Blackarachnia shook her head. "No, it seems to be some sort of organic creature laced with nanobots, but I've never seen anything like this before."
Optimus frowned and made his way to the controls. "Teletraan-1, scan the area. See what's going on out there."
A drone immediately shot out from the ship and splashed out of the lake. A small camera fed a video feed of a huge monster attacking some police while they shot at it with little results.
"Looks like those guys could use a hand," Bumblebee commented.
"Even so, we don't want to attract attention in case the Decepticons are still out there watching," said Optimus. "Teletraan-1, scan the local lifeforms. We can take on their appearance and blend in better."
Teletraan-1 then began scanning the vehicles in the area, including a fire truck, an ambulance, a police motorcycle, a SWAT car and Captain Fanzone's car.
"Since I can't take a vehicle form, I suppose I have to stay here," said Blackarachnia folding her arms as Optimus entered the scan.
Optimus exited from the scanner and looked at her. "Blackarachnia, I—"
"Save it," she said. "Just want to wish that I wasn't the only freak in the galaxy."
Soon everyone took on their new appearance.
"Autobots, transform and roll out!" Optimus ordered.
All then immediately began transforming except for Blackarachnia, in their new vehicle forms.
"Not bad, huh?" said Optimus, who now looked exactly like a firetruck.
"Sweet," said Bumblebee installing a red siren on his new yellow compact car body.
"Impressive," said Prowl, who was now a police motorcycle.
"Roomy," said Bulkhead getting a feel for his new SWAT car form.
"It'll do," said Ratchet, now disguised as an ambulance.
They all began to drive off except for Ratchet, and Bumblebee stopped looking at him, puzzled.
"Aren't you coming, doc bot?" Bumblebee asked.
"Someone's got to analyse this thing," said Ratchet showing on a binge of the substance on his windscreen.
"Can't Blackarachnia do that?" Bumblebee asked.
"I could do with an extra processor and extra pair servos," she said.
"Besides, who needs a bot who has one servo in the scrapheap," Ratchet added.
"Never gonna let that one go, are you?" said Bumblebee.
"Nope," said Ratchet.
Bumblebee then drove off to catch up with the others.
On the surface, everyone was given little overwhelmed by the monster, which was now the size of a building and swinging massive tentacles at them.
"All units fall back!" Fanzone ordered. "We will engage with and unmanned drones only!"
The emergency vehicles immediately pulled out just as the Autobots emerged from the lake.
"Greetings fellow bots," said Optimus. "We are here to help."
Then one of the monster's tentacles nearly crushed them, and they quickly jumped back. Prowl began to approach the monster, but Optimus quickly stopped him.
"Do not engage that thing yet," Optimus ordered. "Keep your scanners peeled for Decepticons."
Police drones then immediately entered the battlefield and began firing upon the monster. However, the blasts had absolutely no effect on the beast.
"If those are Decepticons, we've got nothing to worry about," said Bumblebee.
Fanzone saw them and looked furious. "What are those cowboys think they're doing down there?" He immediately reached out his radio. "You four, what part of fallback did you not understand?"
However, he didn't receive a reply fact he wasn't entirely sure that they got the message. He quickly pulled out a pair of binoculars and didn't recognise vehicle registrations.
"Who are those guys?" he said. "I want their names, I want their badges, I want—" He stopped when he saw Prowl, who had no driver, and Bumblebee, who was disguised as his car. "Where are the drivers? How is my car driving itself?"
Bulkhead then found himself caught by one of the tentacles and tried to break free.
"Any of you little bots know what this thing is or how to get it off me?" he asked, looking at a police drone.
Bumblebee then zoomed in, tearing right through the tentacle freeing Bulkhead.
"Can anyone talk on this planet?" he yelled.
That moment, Sari rushed out of the building chasing Sparkplug, who had her key card in his mouth.
"Get back here!" Sari demanded. "Sparkplug! Sparkplug!" She eventually caught him and began wrestling for her key card, which he refused to give up. "Let go!"
Bumblebee and Bulkhead saw this and looked at her rather confused.
"What is that thing?" Bulkhead asked.
"Must be some kind of pet," said Bumblebee.
"Why would the four-legged bot want a pet that big?"
The monster then swung its tentacle towards them, and they quickly jumped out of the way in time to avoid it. The two of them then immediately approached Sari, who had just managed to free her key card.
"Hi, little creature," said Bulkhead. "My name is Bulkhead. Did you lose your own bot?"
Sari stared at him, realising that the vehicle was talking to her.
"AAAAAAAAAAHH!" she screamed.
"Aaahhh!" Bumblebee screamed, quickly backing away. "That thing must be our was some sort of high-frequency sonic weapon."
Sari then ran off screaming.
"I think it scared," said Bulkhead and quickly followed her. "But don't worry, little creature, I'm not going to hurt you."
Sari was so busy running that she failed to notice she was actually running towards the monster until she slammed into one of its tentacles. It then quickly grabbed her before she had a chance to get out of the way.
"But that thing might," said Bumblebee joining Bulkhead.
The monster then lifted Sari in the air, and she began screaming.
"What is that thing?" Prowl asked as he and Optimus joined them.
"Whatever it is, it needs our help," said Optimus.
"Optimus, wait!" said Blackarachnia. "I've just discovered that we're on an organic planet."
"An organic planet?" said Optimus. "That certainly explains a few things."
"The point is that if you transform now, there's no way we'll be able to hide from the Decepticons."
Optimus looked at Sari, and he knew he just couldn't sit back and watch. "Our mandate is to protect life, no matter whether it's robotic or organic."
"I just thought you should know," said Blackarachnia.
"Understood," said Optimus. "Autobots transform!"
All four of them immediately began to transform into their robotic mode. The humans that were watching just stared openmouthed.
Professor Sumdac was unaware that he was a bit more preoccupied with the fate of his daughter. "Sari! That's my daughter up there! Captain Fanzone, you must send someone to help!"
Fanzone simply turned Sumdac, so he was now staring at the four giant robots facing the monster.
Sari, meanwhile, had stopped screaming and was watching Optimus as he pulled out his axe.
"Cool," she uttered.
"Autobots ATTACK!" Optimus shouted and activated his battle mask
Optimus spun around and activated the rocket on his axe, slamming it right into the creature's belly. Prowl jumped into the act making his own battle mask before throwing his shuriken, but they were merely absorbed by the monster.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?!" Bulkhead launched his wrecking ball and hit the monster in the head. It dropped Sari, but Bumblebee caught her.
"Hi, I'm Bumblebee," he introduced, carrying her to the parking lot.
"I'm Sari," she replied.
"Ah, don't be, I like my name," he smiled as the into the parking lot.
"No, what I mean is my name is—" She then looked at him curiously. "What are you?"
"I'm an Autobot," he began.
Fanzone and Professor Sumdac watch the two of them talking.
"One of yours?" Fanzone asked, looking at Professor Sumdac.
"No, but there is something oddly familiar about them," said Professor Sumdac curiously.
"Not familiar enough to take any chances with your kid," said Fanzone and pulled out his radio. "All drone units, engage the yellow robot, but don't harm the girl."
The police drone immediately flew into the garage and began firing at Bumblebee.
Outside, Bulkhead launched his wrecking ball again, but this time the monster managed to grab and absorb it; however, it didn't stop at the ball and continued down the cable. Bulkhead was doing all he could to hold onto the handle.
"Guh! Boss bot?! I've got a problem!" Bulkhead announced.
Optimus quickly rushed over and fired his grappler to grab hold of the cable and pulled as hard as he could.
"Prowl, mind lending a servo, huh?!" Optimus yelled and then noticed the Ninja bot was nowhere to be seen. "Prowl?"
A shuriken then spun out of nowhere, slicing through the cable, sending Bulkhead and Optimus flying backwards.
"He said to lend a servo, not slides a servo," Bulkhead rumbled, looking at his missing hand.
Prowl landed in front of them in caught his shuriken. "Better than let that thing feeding the rest of you to that thing."
"That was not your call to make, Prowl," said Optimus angrily. "We're a team, remember? And we need to know that we can depend on each other."
"There's only one bot that I depend on: me," said Prowl bluntly.
Then before Optimus to get another wording, he immediately lept into the air, slicing through the tentacles. Unfortunately, one of them managed to grab them and then pulled him into its body.
"Prowl!" Optimus yelled.
Bumblebee was still dancing around and avoiding the lasers coming from the drones.
"I'd love to stick around and chat, but I've got a go," he said, noticing Prowl being swallowed by the creature.
He then quickly placed Sari down and activated his stingers. He then started to blast the drones to find their circuits. He then smiled at Sari before running off to join the others. Once he was outside and began firing his stingers at the creature.
"Blackarachnia! Ratchet, we need backup stat!" Optimus announced on the comlink.
"We're busy!" Ratchet responded.
"In case you forgot, we got our servos full trying to analyse this thing?" Blackarachnia reminded him.
"That's an order!" Optimus yelled.
"Typical Academy bot would rather hit a problem and fix it," Ratchet muttered.
"Tell me about it; I kept on saying the same thing during our time at the Academy that sometimes you need a scientific mind," Blackarachnia sighed.
"If you had bothered to analyse the nanobots that control the pain you're hitting, you'd have learned that their programming causes them to interpret any unfamiliar material as an invading threat!"
"Additionally, the more it absorbs, the stronger it gets," Blackarachnia added. "Additionally, this thing has an incredible regenerative ability; even if you somehow managed to destroy the creature itself, the nanobots will just simply reconstitute it.
"Now we can either whip up a simple overripe command, or we could come out and get our chrome whipped with the rest of you glitches," Ratchet summarised. "What's it going to be?"
Optimus just managed to avoid one of the tentacles. "Right, I'll go with plan A. But hurry it up, will you?"
"At my age, this is as 'hurry it up as it gets…" Ratchet grumbled.
Bulkhead quickly slammed his other wrecking ball on into one of the tentacles stopping them in its path.
"Anyone picking up Prowl's energy signature in there?" Bulkhead asked.
Optimus sliced off a tentacle, but it quickly regenerated itself into two different tentacles. "Yeah, I am. But it's faint."
Sari popped out of the door to the car garage roof to get a better look at the spectacle below. She looked at the giant robots curiously; they looked nothing like any of the robots her father designed.
"Ratchet to Prime, we've beaming the override via Teletraan-1," Ratchet informed him as he fired a beam into the scout drone. "But these nanobots are so primitive you're going to have to upload it manually."
The scout drone then immediately flew down to Optimus and provided him with the data spike.
"As far as we can tell from the scan, your creature has concentrated all of its higher command functions into a highly protective central processor," Ratchet added.
"From the scans, we can tell that the processor is inside its head," Blackarachnia continued. "Sadly, there seems to be some sort of protective shell protecting it. Even with your axe, take a while for you to cut through."
"Which means the only way to deliver this fix is from inside that thing," Ratchet summarised.
"The good news is it will be instantaneous; the moment the patch is installed, the creature should turn to dust."
They then noticed that the monster grabbed hold of the ship near the port and began to absorb it.
"What happens when that thing eats a whole boat?" Bulkhead worried.
"Well, let's upload this override before we find out," said Optimus. "We need someone small and fast."
Bumblebee then saw that both Optimus and Bulkhead were looking down at him.
"Why is everyone looking at me?" he said worriedly.
"We can do it if we work as a team, Bumblebee," said Optimus handing him the data spike. "Bulkhead and I will keep the creature distracted."
"While I fly all the way up there like a Decepticon?" said Bumblebee looking at the monster which was now towering above them. "As if."
"You can do it, little buddy, with a little speed and a big enough ramp," Bulkhead pointed to the top of the mass garage.
"Ya know? All things considered, fixing space bridges wasn't too bad a gig," Bumblebee remarked.
Regardless he transformed into vehicle form and drove towards the garaged. A tentacle followed behind Bumblebee and tried to grab him but missed.
"You think it knows what we're up to?" Bulkhead asked.
Optimus didn't answer and instead activated his axe's telescoping handle to pole vault in the air to attack the roach. The roach counter-attacked and tried to swat at Optimus, who narrowly dodged a tentacle.
"It's certainly getting smarter," he said as he lined on the ground, "smart like… Prowl." Then he remembered what Blackarachnia mentioned earlier. "Bumblebee, abort!"
"Can't stop now! I'm almost at launch speed!" he responded.
The creature suddenly wrapped its tentacles around Optimus and Bulkhead, pulling them towards it. They tried to free themselves, but he was clearly getting stronger as it was unfazed by Bulkhead's wrecking ball and Optimus' axe.
"That creature has merged with Prowl's comlink! It's heard we've been saying!" Optimus informed them.
The creature then began to absorb them into its body.
"Oh, yeah, then hear this!" Bumblebee yelled, finally reaching the roof and launching himself over the edge. "You're going DOWN!"
He then quickly transformed into robot mode and dived into the creature's mouth.
"Bumblebee!" Sari cried out.
Then a few short seconds after eating Bumblebee, the creature then turned to dust as the data spike deactivated the nanobots. Amongst the falling nanites were Bulkhead, Optimus, Bumblebee and Prowl.
Bumblebee landed on top of Bulkhead, and landing on top of him was Bulkhead's severed wrecking ball.
"Hey, I was wondering where that went to!" Bulkhead happily picked up his wrecking ball.
Optimus then approached Prowl, who was lying flat on the ground.
"What happened?" Prowl groaned, deactivating his battle mask.
Optimus did the same. "Your teammates just saved your circuits, Prowl. Whether you like it or not." Prowl the tent of the sat up and then suddenly lost consciousness. "Prowl?"
It was then that Optimus noticed that hiding beneath the dust was a fatal injury. The nanobots apparently had eaten through Prowl's chest and seriously damaged his circuits.
"We need to get him back to the ship, right away for repairs," said Optimus and then quickly reached for his comlink. "Prime to Ratchet, prepare the med lab we got a casualty." He then quickly transformed into vehicle mode. "Bulkhead, load up Prowl… carefully."
Bulkhead then picked Prowl up and then placed him on Optimus' back.
"Autobots, transformer roll out!" Optimus shouted.
Sari had just reached the bottom of the garage just as they all transformed and immediately reached Bumblebee.
"Bumblebee, is that you?" she asked.
Bumblebee spun around and saw her. "Sari?"
"Omigosh, thatwasamazing; I'mfreakingout! Youweresocool! Yousavedeverybodyandstoppedthemonsterican'tbelieveit!" she squeaked at once.
"Sari, take it easy. My friend, he's hurt real bad. I have to go," Bumblebee said solemnly.
Sari immediately rushed towards his door, opened it, and jumped inside before he knew it.
"But I wanna know more about you. Let me come with you! Please, please, I wanna help."
"Me too, but I don't have time for this, okay," he said and transformed his wing door into an arm. He then grabbed Sari and dropped outside.
However, she was not going to let him off that easy and immediately jumped on his arm and tried climbing through his window.
"Please, oh please, oh please, please," she begged
"I said ROLL OUT Bumblebee!" Optimus bellowed.
"You can trust this face, can't you?" she smiled innocently.
"Just keep out of sight until I explain," Bumblebee sighed. "And don't touch anything."
"Yes!" Sari cheered, jumping inside and then pressed herself against the car seat. "I mean uh, yesss…"
They then began driving back down into the sea, and as they entered the water, Sari was more than a little concerned.
"Uh, am I going to be able to breathe down there?" she asked.
"Oh sure," Bumblebee assured her. "What's breathe?"
They eventually reached back to the ship and immediately made their way to the med bay. Ratchet easily managed to reattach Bulkhead's wrecking ball
"Ah yes. Good as new," Bulkhead smiled as he flexed his repaired hand.
"Wish I could say the same for Prowl?" said Ratchet.
"Just do what you can Ratchet," said Optimus.
Bumblebee then arrives still in his vehicle mode. "Is he going to… go off-line?"
"Well, it's not quite ready the Well of Allsparks, if you know what I mean," said Ratchet.
"He's lucky that we have a working med bay at all," said Blackarachnia. "I've just run a ship diagnostic, flight and propulsion off-line, as is our communications."
Sari was standing on tiptoe to get a good view of what was going on through Bumblebees' windscreen.
"What's happening?" she asked. "I can't see."
Bumblebee then flipped his seat so that no one could see her and then quickly wrapped his seatbelt around her waist. "Will you keep down?"
The Autobots then promptly looked at him strangely, forgetting that they were in the room as well.
"Will you keep down…loading information," said Bumblebee quickly. "You know to help fix Prowl."
"That nanobot creature scrambled your circuits?" Bulkhead frowned.
Sari wrestled with the seatbelt and accidentally kicked his door wide open.
"No!" Bumblebee yelled.
Once again, everyone looked towards him, giving him strange looks.
"No," he said, closing his car door. "My circuits aren't scrambled, but thanks for asking." He then started moving back and forth, which didn't help to convince them. "Quiet… will you…"
"Is everything all right, Bumblebee?" Optimus asked, slightly concerned.
"Yeah, you've been acting strangely even for you," Blackarachnia nodded.
During the scuffle, Sari managed to wiggle out of her seatbelt, but she collided with Bumblebee's horn. The other Autobots quickly covered the audio receptors as the sound echoed throughout the entire ship.
"Sari!" Bumblebee yelled and quickly remembered that the others could hear him. "I mean, sorry, I must have had some bad motor oil."
"Bumblebee, will you put a muffler on it and transform into robot mode," said Optimus.
"Right, robot mode," he said worriedly.
He then quickly drove out of their sightline and dumped Sari in the nearest ventilation shaft. He then quickly transformed into robot mode and joined the others.
"I feel much better now," he said, looking at them rather nervously.
Sari was sliding down the ventilation shaft until she landed in the cargo bay. Suddenly, she was bathed in blue light. She squinted and looked for the source. It was some kind of weird box that had opened up and revealed a bright blue orb.
He had never seen anything like it before, and yet, she was drawn to it. It felt like an old friend long lost. It called to her, and she came closer. Then a light passed over her as if it was scanning her. Suddenly, images flashed through her head: of other giant robots followed by images of humans, animals and places on Earth. It was almost as if they were exchanging information.
"Okay, that was weird," she said, looking at the orb strangely. "Did we just have a conversation?"
The orb then concentrated its light into a blue beam that pointed at her key card. It morphed and shifted into a blue t-shaped key with brighter blue colour markings.
"If you mess this up, you only my security deposit," she told the box.
She then felt something grabbing her shirt and lifting her off her feet. She was now face-to-face with Optimus, who was looking at her curiously.
"How did you get aboard this ship?" he asked.
"It followed me home," said Bumblebee nervously as he and Blackarachnia joined him.
"Really? All the way down to the bottom of a vast lake?" said Blackarachnia dubiously.
Bumblebee just smiled nervously. "Can I keep it?"
"I'm not in 'it'; I'm a 'she'," said Sari.
"Sari, you in here?" Bumblebee asked. He'd looked all over the ship to no luck. He prayed to Primus that she hadn't gone wandering again.
Optimus raised an optic at Bumblebee. "So, I suppose you have an explanation for this?"
"Actually, I'm narrowing it down to my top five," said Bumblebee.
"Prime! Get up here now!" Ratchet barked over the intercom.
They quickly made their way to the Med room where Ratchet was still trying to operate on Prowl.
"Circuit damages is too extensive; I can't keep him stable!" Ratchet shouted.
Sari's key then began to glow hot and pull itself to Prowl's table. Bumblebee realised what was happening and helped her onto the table. She smiled at him, and the key continued to drag over towards Prowl's injury. She then hovered the key over the injury and began to reshape itself so that it matched the slot in Prowl's exposed chest.
She then curiously inserted the key in the slot, and then suddenly, there was a massive blight light. Within seconds Prowl's injury vanished, much to everyone's shock, and he regained consciousness.
"That is quite the cure," said Prowl as he lifted himself up.
"Can all 'she's' do that?" Bumblebee asked.
"I don't even know how I did that," said Sari looking at her key.
Blackarachnia pulled out her scanner. "I'm not quite sure what happened, but I think that keys energy signature matches that of the Allspark."
"You mean that strange box with the blue orb?" Sari blinked. "It transformed my security card into this."
Blackarachnia's four optics stared at her. "Wait, you're saying that the Allspark, the most powerful energy source in the universe that gave life to all Cybertronians, gave an organic native device that helps heal us?"
"At this point, nothing surprises me," Optimus sighed. "I have seen more action in this one solar cycle than I have in my entire Cybertron service career."
"Solar cycle's not over yet," said Ratchet looking at a vis-screen that showed everyone several scuba-bots searching the lake.
"I think my dad's looking for me," Sari said.
Knowing that they had no other choice, the Autobots decided to bring Sari back to her father. To that end, all of them made their way onto the surface. Blackarachnia rod on Optimus' back in her robot mode, thinking that the humans might freak out seeing her in her beast mode. Naturally, this meant that she had put on her battle mask as her organic half wouldn't be able to survive.
The rover rolled onto the docks, and Sari exited from Ratchet. They then all transformed into robot mode.
"But don't worry, humans don't usually blow up things with those symbols on the side," Sari assured Ratchet.
"Really? And here I thought they make me an easier target."
"You sure it was wise for me to come?" Blackarachnia asked. "I don't exactly look like the friendly sort."
"Better we're upfront with them right now," said Optimus.
"Besides, they'll be equally terrified with all of us," Bumblebee added.
"Somehow, that doesn't feel any better," said Blackarachnia.
Police cars then started to approach them
"Put your hands where I can see 'em!" Fanzone ordered over the megaphone.
"Why do they want us to do that?" Bumblebee asked, leaning over to Sari.
Sari shrugged. "I don't know; I think it makes you look less scary or something."
The Autobots obediently raised their hands, but in a fashion that made them look like creepy aliens. Naturally, this had the opposite effect and all the police officers in their rifles at them.
Sari quickly realised the misunderstanding. "It's okay, they're friendly! Well, except for the red and white. He's kinda grumpy. And the spider lady looks scary, but she's cool. But other than that. "
Her father then pushed his way out of the police crowd and ran to her daughter.
"Oh, Sari! Thank goodness you're okay!" he said, hugging her.
Fanzone looked at his men. "Lower your weapons!"
The police then lower their weapons.
Sari looked at the Autobots. "It's okay, guys; you can put your hands down now." Once they lowered their hands immediately turned her father. "So, can we keep 'em?"
The next day, the entire city welcomed the Autobots and treated them as heroes. They were currently being blinded by flashing cameras and deafened by the sound of cheers and clapping.
"I would like to thank the Autobots and extend the hand of friendship to the entire human race to Optimus Prime, the leader of these brave band of heroes," said Professor Sumdac.
Optimus then approached the professor, allowing him to shake his finger.
"So much were keeping a low profile," Blackarachnia muttered.
"And to think, Ultra Magnus had told us not to be a hero," said Optimus and looked at Ratchet. "Is this what it was like back in your day?"
"The Decepticons never left us a whole lot to cheer about…"
In the depths of space was Starscream in what remained of the Nemesis; he had spent the past 50 stellar cycles searching for the Allspark.
"Fifty stellar cycles of searching, but the AllSpark is out there. I can feel it!" Starscream mumbled to himself. "And once I find it, the Decepticons will have no choice but to follow my leadership!"
The computers then began to beep wildly.
"An energy signal?" The computer displayed a map of the galaxy and zoomed in on the planet Earth. "A very remote sector. Still, it looks promising. Extremely promising…"
