Wow, just wow. I'm amazed that so many people seem to like this story and Tani, normally OCs get crapped on XD

The flight cross country as ok, I was too busy trying to focus on what the hell had just happed and what exactly a Decepticon was to remember that I had a fear of heights and flying. However the taxi driver drove like a madman and I was all too eager to jump out of the back seat and throw myself onto the sturdiness that was land. Mikaela hoisted the metal tool box from the trunk and set the pace as she headed towards Sam's dorm. I had to run to catch up.
"You mind filling me in on a few things here, girl?!" I asked in a hushed voice.
The only explanation id managed to establish thus far was that there was an alien race living on our planet, which with the RC kicking the tool box provided enough proof of that, which were capable of transforming into almost anything. There were two branches of their kind; Autobots and Decepticons. She'd drawn their symbols and I recognized them from when Cayden had shown me them. Cayden was an Autobot? When id asked her about that she didn't respond, only saying that was something I'd have to see for myself.
"You'll find out as we go."

Girls that turn into cyber-things?! What the hell?! Seriously, what the bloody hell?! My heart pounded as we ran into the library. Sam's roommate was having a painicattack beside me while I was hyperventilating. Mikaela and Sam were arguing between the bookcases. It wasn't long before the front door was blown clean off and people started screaming. I ducked down and started breathing heavily. My own past experiences were coming back. The shooting, people dying. The dark-skinned boy grabbed my wrist and pulled me along. Sam and Mikaela were doing their best to dodge the blasts.
We bolted out the door, there were cries of 'it's a bomb' coming from those both inside and out. And in some way I almost wish it had been. We ran for a car, any car. Mikaela pulled out the wires and tried to start it.
"You know how to hotwire a car? That's so hot." I smacked the kid upside the head. "Ow!"
"Would you focus more on keeping your ass from getting fried then on her ability to commit auto theft?!"
Sam chuckled and I thought I heard him whisper 'no wonder Ironhide likes her' to Mikaela. What did any of this have to do with the Topkick? I'd worry about it later. Right now I was more concerned about the elongated tongue that had just broken through the windshield and was thrashing wildly about. I screamed along with the boys as Mikaela drove and slammed the cyber-thing into a lamp post.
"What the hell was that?!" the kid beside me screamed.
"The baby." Sam said moments before the car was lifted by a large black helicopter. Was this what Cayden meant about being cautious around aircraft? All I know is that we were dropped. I clutched the back of the passenger seat for my life as all our screams mixed. The car shattered a glass roof before landing, setting off the airbags. It was only a miracle that allowed us to walk away from that with only inconsequential cuts and bruises. Robots. Giant freakin robots. Why couldn't we've been kidnapped by Mothra? At least if it was a huge moth we could distract it with a flashlight or something! Red optics watched us like a hawk. I felt frozen to the walkway we'd crash landed on.
"Come here, boy!" it bellowed.
His voice easily shook the foundation of the building, his large size causing him to hunch over slightly from the cramped space he'd squeezed himself into. We watched as Sam hesitantly walked down a flight of stairs, hands up like a wanted criminal. Mikaela grabbed hold of the railing so tightly her knuckles turned white. Sam was pinned down roughly to a table. Another smaller Decepticon, smaller then the RC, that looked more like bug than anything else crawled all over him. I wanted to laugh at the specs it wore, even more so when it called itself a doctor. It prodded Sam's mouth as he tried to reason with the twenty some-odd foot robot. Needless to say his pleas fell on deaf ears… if it even has ears. Somewhere, maybe. I don't know! The doctor stuck what looked like a shrimp-bot into Sam's mouth. The tentacles poked out from his nose and mouth, flailing madly. I dry-heaved, trying not to puke.
"Brain on table! Chop chop!!" it squeaked after it pulled the shrimp out of Sam.
"What does he mean by my brain?!" Sam screamed.
We all screamed as a Barbie-sized buzz saw came dangerously close to Sam's cranium. But before it could cut into his skull the roof was smashed in and one wall got knocked out. Two more robots had joined the party.
"Oh my god! They're like cockroaches! They're EVERYWHERE!" I shrieked.

I love Tani. She's so much fun to write.
