Warnings: Cussing, mistakes, and the authors inability to slow the story down.
In the helicopter, flying to who knows where, Samuel James Witwicky sat too stunned to do much. The young blonde women across from him frowned at the dejected look he presented to the world so she leaned forward slightly and smiled at the young man. "So… what'd they get you for?"
Sam laughs quietly, "I bought a car. It turned out to be an alien robot," everyone turns to look at the boy; seeing this he finished with a shrug, "who knew?" Turning back to look out the window he sees Hoover Dam come into and seems to stiffen more watching it get closer.
"Damn humans and their stupid flying transportation." Barricade grumbled as he drove along the roads toward Hoover Dam. He was just glade that Frenzy was with the strange human or he would have lost them by now. The constant thumping coming from the trunk was starting to tick him off though. Slamming on his breaks he opened the trunk. The human femme quickly got out and he transformed. "Tell anyone what happened or about us… I'll hunt you down and kill you myself. Got me?" Stunned she nodded and he quickly transformed into the dented police car and raced off, kicking up a bunch of dirt as he did.
"How did I end up in these situations?" the girl sighed to herself and began walking the way the car drove off hoping it lead to civilization
The remaining Autobots gathered at a remote location to decipher where the Allspark is located. Unknowingly to the others their leader was hoping desperately that the coordinates on the glasses lead them to 'Bee and Sam. Holding up the glasses carefully, Optimus prayed, "Please, let this work."
"Fire it up, Optimus." Jazz encourages his leader as he sends a laser through the lenses. A model of the planet appears as a hologram, showing the location of the Allspark.
"The code on these glasses indicates the Allspark is 230 miles from here," Optimus announces.
The other Autobots shuffle nervously in part because they wanted to go after the boy and their scout. Ratchet looks around at his comrades, "I sense the Decepticons are getting ready to mobilize."
Ironhide, "They must know it's here, as well."
"What about Bumblebee?" Jazz shouts uncaring about the odd human, "We can't just leave him to die and become some human experiment!"
"He'll die in vain if we don't accomplish our mission," Optimus responds even as he's processor screamed that Sam was also important; "Bumblebee is a brave soldier. This is what he would want."
Scoffing, Ironhide speaks up, "Why are we fighting to save the humans? They're a primitive and violent race."
Looking out over the horizon, Optimus quietly answers, "Were we so different? They're a young species. They have much to learn. But I've seen goodness in them. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. You all know there's only one way to end this war. We must destroy the Cube. If all else fails, I will unite it with the spark in my chest."
"That's suicide!" Ratchet exclaims, "The Cube is raw power. It could destroy you both."
Optimus sighed, "A necessary sacrifice to bring peace to this planet." And to Sam he said to himself, "We cannot let the humans pay for our mistakes. It's been an honor serving with you all." Done with his good bye speech he called out, "Autobots, roll out!"
Arriving at their destination, everyone exits the chopper and follow the agents that join them. Unnoticed by anyone, the Decepticon that had hidden as Sam's phone reluctantly, but quickly left to infiltrate the base. Just before they reach the entrance, the group is met by Agent Simmons, who focuses on Sam. "Hey, kid. I think we got off to a bad start, huh? You must be hungry? You want a latte? Ho Ho? Double venti macchiato?"
Unimpressed by the agent's new uniform and the situation he is currently in, Sam merely glares and responds, "Where's my car?"
In an attempt to diffuse the situation before a fight is started, Agent Banachek steps up, "Son, I need you to listen to me very carefully. People can die here. We need to know everything you know. We need to know it now."
"Okay," Sam nods, "But first, I'll take my car. Oh and my parents."
Agent Banacheck sighs, "Come with me. We'll talk about your car." The group then continues on their way. Inside the facility, Agent Simmons leads the group on a tour while breaking down the situation for everyone. "All right, here's the situation. You've all had direct contact with the NBEs."
One of the soldiers interrupts, "NBEs?"
"Non-Biological Extraterrestrials. Try and keep up with the acronyms. What you're about to see is totally classified," Simmons continues. Entering a room that is crawling with busy people, the group spots a large exoskeleton in the center of the room. The robot is covered in ice and frost.
Shocked, the Secretary of Defense exclaims, "Dear God. What is this?"
Approaching the robot, Agent Banacheck begins an explanation, "We think when he made his approach over the North Pole, and our gravitational field screwed up his telemetry. He crashed in the ice, probably a few thousand years ago. We shipped him here to this facility in 1934."
"We call him NBE-One," Simmons injects with a superior look on his face.
Staring up at what he knows to be bad news, Sam interrupts both agents with his knowledge, "Well, sir, I don't mean to correct you on everything you think you know, but, I mean, that's Megatron. He's the leader of the Decepticons."
Both agents turn to stare at him with unreadable looks, while everyone else in the group shuffles nervously and waits for someone to finish explaining what is going on. After a moment, Banacheck continues with his briefing, "He's been in cryostasis since 1935. Your great-great-grandfather made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind."
Simmons jumps in to contribute, "Fact is, you're looking at the source of the modern age, the microchip, lasers, spaceflight, cars, all reverse-engineered by studying him." Getting up into Sam's face, he retorts, "NBE One. That's what we call it." Sam fell against the side of the raised floor where Megatron's foot hung off slightly in an attempt to get away from the insane man, his face touching the cold metal. No one noticed the optics flash red for a brief second as the giant alien robot struggled to wake itself up at the touch.
"And you didn't think the United States military might need to know that you're keeping a hostile alien robot frozen in the basement?" the Secretary of Defense spoke up in anger, keeping all who would have seen such a thing distracted by the conversation.
Banacheck confidently responds to the accusation, "Until these events, we had no credible threat to national security."
Secretary of Defense, "Well, you got one now."
The small Decepticon infiltrator has found the cube and signals out to alert the Decepticon forces. The Decepticon Starscream receives the transmission and rallies their forces to retrieve the cube.
Back with the humans: the other soldier, the captain Sam noted, asked him, "So why Earth?"
Brifly started by the question aimed towards him, he takes a moment to look up at Megatron before answering, "It's the Allspark."
Overhearing the conversation between the two, the Secretary joins them, "Allspark? What is that?"
Sam, "Well, yeah, they came here looking for some sort of cube-looking thing. Anyway, Mr. NBE-One here," throwing a dirty glare towards Simmons, "AKA Megatron, that's what they call him, who's pretty much the harbinger of death, wants to use the Cube to transform human technology to take over the universe. That's their plan."
"And you're sure about that?" Agent Banacheck questions with an odd look on his face.
"Uhh, Yeah." He looks over and notices the look and immediately pieces it together, "You guys know where it is, don't you?"
With a sharp look but no definite verbal confirmation, Banacheck gestures for the group to follow him to another area. When they arrive, to an observatory room overlooking a large hangar with a giant cube in the center, he starts into another history lesson. "Carbon dating puts the Cube here around 10,000 BC. The first Seven didn't find it until 1913. They knew it was alien because of the matching hieroglyphics on the Cube as well as NBE-One. President Hoover had the dam built around it. Four football fields thick of concrete the perfect way to hide its energy from being detected by anyone or any alien species on the outside."
As the group observes the cube, Maggie suddenly has a thought, "Wait, back up. You said the dam hides the Cube's energy. What kind exactly?"
"Good question," Banacheck replies and proceeds to lead them onto yet another room. This room contains a glass box as the focal point, and everyone moves around it so as to see what is inside.
While the agents prepare their presentation, the first soldier, Epps his name tag read, and the boy that stayed next to the blonde girl from the helicopter looked around at the walls noticing large gashes marring the room. "Oh, wow. What's that? Freddy Krueger done been up in here or something?" He moves closer to the wall for a better look at the damage but is interrupted by other's less than timely contribution to the day.
"Oh, no, man. Freddy Krueger have four blades, man. That's only three. That's Wolverine! Right? That's Wolverine!" He cackles in amusement but quickly quiets back down as he realizes that the rest of the room doesn't find his joke as funny as he himself did.
Ignoring the joking individual, Agent Simmons asks for someone to hand him an electronic device to use. The joker is the first to toss him a cellphone. Approaching the box, Simmons looks at the phone to see what type it is before he places it into the container, "Nokia's are real nasty. You've got to respect the Japanese. They know the way of the samurai."
Looking at the odd Agent in confusion, the blonde girl quietly snorts, "Nokia's from Finland."
Overhearing her retort, the Secretary grins, "Yes, but he's, you know. He's a little strange."
Simmons begins to speak over them, "We're able to take the Cube radiation and funnel it into that box." At this, everyone pulls down the safety goggles they were given and watches as the demonstration begins. After a few moments, a vicious little robot is seen transforming from the former phone. Rather than do what the agents thought it would do it walked over to where Sam walking straight into the glass wall. It banged into the glass a few more times before getting frustrated and attempts to blast its way out of the box. It manages to do some damage to the box before the agents start to shut it down. "Kind of like the itty-bitty Energizer Bunny from hell, huh?"
Simmons blinks as the button he was about to push is yanked out of his hands and the bottom is smashed into the cracked glass, breaking it. "What the hell do you think you're doing!" Simmons shouts at Sam who stuck his hand into the container and the little robot turned phone climbed into his hand rubbing itself against his palm.
"It's scared and confused. It did nothing until it found it couldn't get out." Sam snaps at the frustrating agent. Before the agent can comment, an alarm blares out, startling them. "The Decepticons know it's here. Take me to my car! He can help."
Fact: the Allspark was bored! The humans had it create sparkling all the time; then they kill them. At first it pissed the alien artifact off to no end. Now it still feels sad for the sparklings, but there is nothing it can do. When they brought in the last Cybertronian sparkling, making it scream and cry with what the Allspark could tell was a damaged VCU it almost wept in outrage. When a small Cybertronian mech approached it, it thought nothing of it as it reached out to make the mech whole. Anything to get the humans to stop torturing the youngling.
It totally missed the familiar signature that entered the hideout. When the humans made it make another sparkling, it would have sighed if it could. When that sparkling wasn't destroyed the Allspark became frantic in its hoped they weren't going to torture it too. Then the alarm went off and the humans scrambled to the main hanger with the High Lord Protector. The broken screams from the youngling stopped next.
When the youngling walked into the chamber the Allspark was held in, the newest terraformer, as the Allspark called them, came with it. The little Terraformer was currently rubbing itself against a human. The human called to the Allspark in a way that was strange yet familiar to it. The yellow youngling, Bumblebee, ask the Allspark to shrink. Complying with the request, the Allspark was then startled when Bumblebee handed over to the human. Things suddenly got interesting indeed.
