"What's happened to me,' he thought. It was no dream."

Sam, Miles, and Mikaela stared at the four metal giants surrounding them. They sight that they were met with was a t once awe-inducing and fearful. The giant that transformed from a semi carefully kneeled down to look at the three teenagers in the eye. For one second, Sam felt like the universe stopped breathing when leaf green eyes met blue fire optics. It was like they were in another universe entirely, where only they existed.
Then the being spoke, "Are you Samantha Carol Witwicky, descendent of Archibald Witwicky, The Blind Prophet?" Sam's eyes widen. The giant knew her name. Not only that but it also knew her great-great grandpa's name and his nickname. A nickname that was given to him because he foretold that an Ice Man and his Followers would soon be coming. Sam felt a chill. Were these the Followers? Were they here to bring ruin to Earth?

Bumblebee beeped in concern at the high levels of fear rising from Sam. When Sam heard the beep she relaxed a bit. No, they can't be, Sam thought. After all, why would Bumblebee save me if he was going to destroy Earth? "Yeah, I'm Sam. And you are?" Sam asked the kneeling giant. The giant stood from its kneeling position.
"I am Optimus Prime." Said the giant. Optimus then gestured to the transformed Porsche. "And that is Jazz, my SIC." Jazz then performed some break dance moves and sat on the dumpsters like some kind of gangster. "Sup, bitches. Nice crew you got there Sammy-girl." Jazz smirked, or what could pass of as a smirk on a robotic face, toward Miles and Mikaela. The fear left Mikaela after that and instead she frowned and stared at Jazz with a raised eyebrow. "Excuse me?" Mikaela said. "You're excused." Jazz said cheekily.
Optimus gave a disapproving glance at Jazz so he wouldn't aggravate female. He then introduced the Topkick, "This is my Weapon Specialist Ironhide." Ironhide transformed his arm into a plasma cannon and aimed it at all three teenagers causing them to back up into Bumblebees ped. "Are ya feelin' lucky, punk?" Ironhide grinned.
Miles, who was one of the most sarcastic people Sam ever met, muttered, "Seeing your ugly mug sure doesn't make me feel that way." Bumblebees radioed a laugh while Ratchet snickered. "Ooh, burned." Jazz said. Optimus hid an amused smile. Ironhide's optic twitched, annoyed. "What ya say, ya punk?!" Ironhide yelled. Miles yelped and tried to hide behind Bumblebee more.
Optimus sighed, "Ironhide, my old friend, please calm down." In response Ironhide huffed but did as he was asked. Optimus then focused his attention back on the humans in his company. "The one who is scanning you is my CMO, Ratchet." True to his actions Ratchet was scanning the teenagers.
"The male's pheromone level suggests that he would like to mate with blue-eyed female while the green-eyed female is currently ejecting its life substance out of its body. Do you need assistance to a nearby medical facility?" Ratchet asked. Sam blushed when she saw everyone turn to face her in concern, and in the human's case, slight second-hand embarrassment and mortification. "No, I don't need to go to the hospital. Please continue." Sam said, trying to get the attention off of her.
Optimus spent a few seconds staring at Sam in concern before continuing. Optimus then waved at Bumblebee. "You have already met Bumblebee, your Guardian and our Scout." Bumblebee waved at the group near his peds. "Hello, have we met before?" radioed Bumblebee. Ratchet scanned Bumblebee's throat area. At the human's curious stare he explained his actions, "His voice box was ripped out some time ago. I'm scanning it to see if is healing properly. It's healing quickly, however, its not at hundred percent. He will have to speak through the radio a little longer."
"We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the planet of Cybertron." Optimus explained. "Also called Autobots for short." Jazz chimed in. "Why are you here then? I don't think it's for sight-seeing." Miles asked.
"We have come to planet Earth because of the Allspark. The Allspark was the only way our species can reproduce. It is one of the most vital objects of our planet." While explaining why they were here Optimus used holograms to show pictures of Cybertron and the Allspark.
"A Great War occurred on our planet, ravaging Cybertron. It was caused by a Warlord named Megatron, who wished to use the power of the Allspark to rule Cybertron and shape it to his desire. Our people, frightened of Megaton's intentions, sent the Allspark deep into space to keep it from those who will use it for evil. However, Megatron didn't give up his quest and instead followed the Allspark to where it landed, which was on this planet. We fear that when Megatron and his followers, the Decepticons, find the Allspark they will use its power to bring to life every piece of technology on this planet and use them as an army." Optimus explained while showing a picture of Megatron. "We, the Autobots, however, have come to Earth to stop that from happening."
"So, basically, Earth is a battleground for Alien robots. And if Megatron gets a hold of your baby maker cube he's going to make all of our technology into a robot warriors?" Sam asked, in slight disbelief and horror. Optimus blinked his optics, surprised at how Sam summarized the story. "Yes, if that is how you prefer to explain it as." Optimus said a little bemused.
Mikaela then spoke up, "Then what do you need Sam for?" Optimus answered. "When Bumblebee went planet side he did some espionage to discover the location of the Allspark. However, all that was found was a stasis pod signal in what you call the Artic. The signal was online since 1897. The date were your ancestor became known as the Blind Prophet.
A stasis pod signal can only come online when something activates it. We hypothesize that when Archibald Witwicky came to the Artic in 1897 he somehow activated the stasis pod becoming blind in the process when the pod transferred the location of the Allspark directly to his mind. The pictures of your ancestor writing Cybertron glyphs on the walls further supported the theory. Bumblebee looked for more clues about Archibald since the stasis pod was dead end. It was only until a picture of you holding onto his glasses that we had another lead. The glasses possessed Cybertron glyphs for a location.
More specifically the location for were the Allspark is currently at. However, the glasses are currently in your possession. You, Sam, hold the key to Earth's continuous survival."
Sam stared, slack-jawed in disbelief at the fact that she had the fate of the world in her hands. Mikaela also stared at Optimus with a WTF face. Miles chuckled awkwardly. "Well, I did not expect THAT."
(REmEMbeR)
Sam looked outside the window as trees passed by. After the unpleasant surprise of being told that she was instrumental in Earth's continued existence (ReMemBEr). Sam agreed to find the glasses and hand it over to the Autobots. Right now, she and everyone else were heading to her house to get the glasses. But before that happens Sam had to deal with her parents who she probably scared shitless last night. Finally they reached the curb that led to her house.
"Okay, guys, I need you to wait here. If you guys all parked in front of my house that would be suspicious." Sam addressed the group. "You and Me, Against the World." Bumblebee radioed. "You're staying with them as well, Bumblebee." Sam said in reply. "Why? Oh, why do you hurt me so?" Bumblebee radioed with a slight whine.
Sam rolled her eyes at that. "I ran out of my house screaming at my parents that my car was getting stolen. If I came back suddenly with a much more upgraded version of my car questions will be asked." Sam explained. "When can we expect you to be back, Sammy-girl?" Jazz asked. Sam sighed, there were too many questions being asked and not enough time being used. "I'll be back 5 minutes tops. In the meanwhile, Mikaela and Miles will watch over you." Sam answered.
After that Sam jogged all the way to her house and knocked on the door. The door soon opened to revel the visage of Ron. "Sam, you're back! What happened last night? Your mother and I were out of our minds with worry." Ron exclaimed while scanning Sam for any injuries caused by her chaotic running (ApPa?). Sam blushed a bit from the actions that happened last night. She was pretty hectic last night.
"Well, um, someone stole my car." Sam explained while simultaneously inching her way inside the house. Ron stared at Sam, "You mean someone actually stole your car?" Sam nodded already halfway towards the stares with no mother in sight. "Yeah, um, I'm staying over at Miles house tonight so I'm just going to pack some stuff and leave, okay." Sam said, climbing up the stairs. Mojo must be outside if he isn't jumping on me right now, Sam thought. Ron just stared blankly outside barely even hearing Sam, thoughts consumed about how Sam $4000 Camaro was stolen.
Sam finally reached her room and decided that before she tries to search for the glasses she should change into more appropriate clothes as well as make sure she actually had her phone with her this time. After changing into a comb of skinny jeans, boots, and a T-shirt with a jacket on, Sam finally stared her search for the glasses. So far no luck and time was quickly approaching the five minute mark. Suddenly someone knocked on her window.
Sam turned around to stare at the sight of Miles and Mikaela sitting on the palm (?) of Optimus' hand (?). They were both at window level height. Sam quickly went to the window and opened it to allow them inside. "What are you doing here?" Sam asked furiously. "The five minute mark has passed, we have come here to give our assistance." Optimus replied while peering into Sam's room.
"You . . . You guys can't help me! You're giant robots! If my parents see you they're going to flip out!" Sam exclaimed. "We will cause no hindrance to your search." Optimus replied. Right when he replied Jazz piped up jumping up and down. "Get off of me, little rodent!" Jazz said. A familiar bark sounded out. "Woof! Woof!"
Sam leaned out to see what was happening when she was met with the sight of Mojo hanging on for dear life on Jazz's foot (?) while Jazz caused miniature tremors in the ground. Sam gaped for a few seconds before the image finally made sense in her head. "Jazz, stop jumping up and down! You're going to stir some attention up. And please leave my dog alone. Mojo, bad dog! Let go of the metal foot!" Sam shouted.
Jazz finally stopped jumping enough for Mojo to let go. However, while doing that Jazz accidently leaned on Ironhide causing him to stumble and crush Judy's flower garden as well as leave a stamp mark on Ron's prized lawn. Not only had that happened but Ironhide ended up pushing both Ratchet and Bumblebee on his path for balance causing Bumblebee to destroy the water fountain in the back yard and Ratchet to entangle himself in the power lines near the house causing a blackout. Thought that was not all. He also become high, giggling hysterically. This caused a racket loud enough that Sam's parents heard it.
"Sammy? Are you okay?" Judy yelled from downstairs after that faint tremor in the ground stopped. Shit, thought Sam. Sam turned towards the bots, "You guys need to hide, now." While the giants tried to hide, Sam turned towards Mikaela and Miles, "You two should als-" before Sam could finish the sentence a knock on her bedroom door sounded. "Sammy? You okay? I'm coming in." Judy said while opening the door.
Sam only had a few seconds to gesture at Mikaela and Miles before she turned to block her mother's view. "Hey, Mom." Sam said awkwardly. "Sammy, are you okay?" Judy asked in concern. "Why wouldn't I be okay?" Sam asked in obvious distraction. "Sammy, last night your car was stolen. You chased it all the way to Miles house, which is about 6 streets away from our house, and then stayed at his house for the day. Then you come back telling your father that you're staying the night at his house again, which you haven't done since that incident with that jock you hate. After that a miniature Earthquake happens and I come upstairs hearing you talking to someone." Judy said.
Sam felt a bit guilty about all of that seeing the stress in her mom's (AmMa?) face become more pronounced. "I-" Sam was about to reply when Mikaela finally became tried of hiding and stood up with Miles. "Hello, Mrs. Witwicky. I'm Mikaela, a friend of Sam's. I'm here to help her with her stolen car." Mikaela said. Miles just waved, "Hi, Mrs. J."
"Oh. Oh, it's nice to meet a friend of Sam's." Judy said. "Why didn't you introduce us earlier, Sam? Is this why you're going back to Miles house again, to find your car?" Sam glanced at Mikaela and Miles for a second before answering. "Yeah, that's the reason. Hey, mom, do you know where my backpack is?" Sam asked. She knew that wherever her backpack was at would be where the glasses were.
"Oh, it's down stairs. Why?" Judy asked. "We need it to find my car." Sam answered. "Okay. I'm going to go downstairs to tell your father about your friends." Judy said smiling. She was happy that Sammy was finally making more friends. She always worried that Sam would only have Miles as a friend, and even though he was great, it was different having a friend the same gender as yourself. Everything in the room was quite, Mikaela, Miles and Sam waited for the sound of footsteps to fade away before talking.
Sam then turned toward Mikaela and Miles. "Why did you guys come out?" Sam asked. "We couldn't find the glasses and your mom almost saw us. So we threw caution to the wind." Miles answered. Sam sighed, "Well, it doesn't matter. Let's go down stairs. I have to introduce Mikaela to my dad and I need to get the glasses." Before going downstairs Sam looked out the window to see if any of the Autobots were still out there. Instead the visage of the ruined backyard and angry Chihuahua met her sight. Why me? Sam despaired.
Sam was downstairs looking for her backpack. Mikaela was distracting Judy with small talk about how she met Sam while Miles was arguing with Ron about which football team was better, the Green Bay Packers or the New England Patriots. "Ah-ha!" Sam shouted out. In her hand was the glasses. At the same time a knock on the door sounded.
Ron went to the door. When he opened it men in black suits pushed their way in. "Wha-What the hell?! What are you doing?!" Ron yelled. Soon everyone in the house looked over at what was happening. One of the men in suits used a strange device to scan Ron, "Clear." Another man came up, however, he took out an official looking badge.
"Hello, my name is Agent Seymour Simmons. I'm with the Rapid Response and Recovery branch of the government also known as the RRR. We came here because of a reported disturbance. We would like it if you can answer some of our questions and investigate the source of the disturbance." Said Simmons. "What disturbance?" questioned Judy. Suddenly, one of the devices beeped in the direction of where Sam, Miles, and Mikaela gathered. "We've got something!" Said one of the men in the suits.
Simmons turned towards their direction and walked towards them. Ron tried to block his way, "Now hold on a minute. What are y-" Simmons kept walking towards the group with the beeping device. "Boys, bag 'em." Simmons addressed the agents at his side. "Yes, sir." Chorused the agents. The agents then swarmed Judy and Ron and stared escorting them out of the house.
"What the-" "Let go of m-" were the only things heard of them before they went out of the house. "Let them go!" Sam yelled. She tried to go to her parents but some of the agents near her grabbed onto her before she could leave. This caused Mikaela and Miles to try and help her. But by then some more agents came and grabbed on to them, stopping them from doing anything foolish. While this was happening the strange device still kept on beeping.
Simmons finally stopped in front of Sam. "Well, well, well. Look what the extraterrestrial dragged in here." Simmons said. Sam stopped struggling, her eyes wide. Mikaela and Miles also stopped their struggles. Simmons smirked at the reaction. We're in trouble now, thought Mikaela while eyeing how all the agents surrounded them.

Breakthroughs . . . Never Felt More Dramatic

Author's Note:
Sorry for the long update. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this chapter. Also updates will be longer from now on.
*Appa means 'father' or 'dad' in Tamil.
*Amma means 'mother' or 'mom'.
This Chapter is called Breakthrough because Sam had a breakthrough in finding the glasses. Then Simmons came along. Honestly everything felt way to dramatic for Sam.
