A/N: icecreamsundaes2011 here, feeling refreshed after getting the first review for this FanFic from Kaluahmon, thanks! So here's a little chapter that's longer than yesterday's, enjoy!

Disclaimer: If you don't recognize the character, it's probably mine!

Matt was having the worst day ever. He lost his part time job, his girlfriend broke up with him, and he doesn't think his mom will be thrilled to see that he failed a test. Again

So when Dan asked him to come with him to investigate some UFOs, it seemed like the lesser evil to choose. Boy, was he wrong.

It had all started out fine, they were hiking through the woods at the edge of town. Eventually, the clearing was visible up ahead. But what happened next was something he wouldn't forget for the rest of his sadly shortened life.

A giant spaceship, with blinking lights had just landed right on the field. Smaller ships landed around it and they began to transform? Matt had enough brain cells not suffering from utter shock to pull himself and Dan down.

Then Dan began to sniff. He was going to sneeze!

"Oh man, please don't do this to me, you can sneeze later just don't right now, I'll even lend you those video games you wanted so badly. Just don't sneeze!" frantically whispered Matt while covering Dan's mouth. But it was too late, a humungous sneeze rang out across the plain.

The transformers zoomed in on their location. The nearest one reached out a clawed appendage to grab them. Before it reached them, Matt desperately scanned the robot again to try and find some kind of weakness, but there was nothing but metal and a strange purple insignia. That was the only thing he saw before his world went dark...

On the Nemesis…

"Commander Shockwave, uh…here's that live specimen you wanted…" nervously muttered a Vehicon. It was no wonder he was nervous. The labs were filled with specimens of strange, exotic creatures, some preserved, some half-dissected. There was even mutations snarling in their cages, although the electrified bars kept them away.

"Leave it on the table. You can leave now." ordered the cyclops without lifting his golden optic from the papers he was reading.

The Vehicon scurried out, relieved he wasn't going to become one of the unlucky others who never made it out of that cursed room.

Shockwave ignored the ecstatic shouts in the hallway and turned his undivided attention to the organics sprawled out on his desk. How did a species this flimsy and insubstantial ever survive? "Well, there's nothing a dissection wouldn't answer." Shockwave thought as he gathered supplies "Now where did I put those tweezers?"

Meeting room, Artemis

"Prowl, please share with us your report." rang out the deep baritone of Optimus Prime, who sat at the head if the table.

"Gladly. We have found several nearby planets with possible energon signals, but those could be mistaken. Troops are loosing moral due to the depleting supply. But I can assure you all that we have enough to last for the next few decacycles, as long as we ration it. Recent Decepticon activities have been quiet, just a few minor plunders and cases of mistaken identity. The Nemesis has entirely disappeared off of our radar, so they have moved to a far away planet or a different galaxy. We are concentrating on finding them and have found a possible lead. I'll play back the transmission now." and with the push of a button, the video echoed through the sound systems.

"-must see this, ladies and gentlemens, we have just discovered a new unidentified object!" the speaker was a femme like organic with black hair and optics "Where could this luminous mystery have come from? Why is it here? I'm Christina Mailers, and TYT1 will bring you all the details as soon as they're released!" with that the video shifted to a glowing hunk of blue rock. Just a normal, glowing, rock, right? But the Cybertronians in the room knew better.

"By the All-Spark, I haven't seem that much compressed energon since before the war." whispered an awestruck Ratchet as he stared at the object on the screen.

"We have reason to believe that the Decepticons have caught wind of this and are heading towards this planet called "Earth" to retrieve energon." continued Prowl "He will most likely eradicate this species first, since they apparently possess weapons that could possibly harm us. And they're a notorious bunch for shooting first and asking questions later"

"Regardless, fellow Autobots, we cannot stand idly by while lives are in danger." rumbled the Autobot Leader while getting up from his seat "Prowl, set course for Earth immediately, we've got a planet to save."

Yay! That's one more chapter down, a unknown number to go! Does anyone have suggestions for this story? Please review, I'll upload a new chapter two or three days if you do. Oh well, icecreamsundaes, signing off...
