Chapter 9
Mikaela Banes

Mikaela grumbled as she tossed the invitation into the trash can.

She and Sam had broken up shortly after the whole fight with the Fallen in Egypt. As much as she cared for him, she just couldn't take it any more.

After getting back to the States, Sam had continued his college education, which didn't give them much time to reconcile.

Sam was changed after that whole thing.

Mikaela liked the Autobots, she really did, but she just didn't want to deal with any more life-threatening Decepticon-causing world calamities.

It was just too much for her.

After a long argument, she and Sam split.

She didn't even remember how the argument started or what was said. There was a part of her that wished she hadn't left him. Regret was something she didn't want in her life, but there it was.

Then the Attack On Chicago happened, and something about the planet Cybertron appearing in Earth's atmosphere. The incident wasn't made clear or official until long after the Autobots and the human military had defeated the Decepticons. Many lives had been lost and the entire planet was shaken by the incident.

Now Sam was getting married, to a blond Brit named Carly Spencer, (soon to be 'Witwicky'),

She was happy for Sam, though. She really was. After everything he had been through the last few years, he needed someone in his life. That had been her, but she couldn't handle it. She hoped at least that this Carly girl was at least someone who could deal with his lifestyle.

In a moment of weakness, for one reason or another, she had decided to call it quits.

It was her own fault, and she was now wondering just what she was going to do about it now that she was alone.

That's when he walked in.

His name was Peter Rasputin, or just 'Pete' to his friends.

Tall, muscular, just a little bit older than herself, and with a kind, warm, down-to-earth personality that just drew her to him.

He had been coming into the shop for the last couple of weeks since moving to the neighborhood a month ago.

He and several of his friends had set up their own business and house in the city and Pete was the one they had sent to acquire parts and such for their business.

Which didn't bother Mikaela in the slightest.

Peter smiled at the sexy young woman with the long brown hair, super model body, blue eyes and flawless peach-colored skin. She was dressed in a cherry-red tank top and faded blue jean cut-offs that showed off her long flawless legs, and mini-cowboy boots.

"Welcome back, neighbor." Mikaela said with a smile.

"Hello, Miss Banes." Peter said.

"You've been coming in here almost every day, Pete. You can call me Mikaela." she said, a flirty wink in her eye.

"I couldn't do that... unless we started dating." he replied.

"I like Italian." she smiled.

"I'm not much of a cook. Have you ever been to Olive Garden?" he asked.

"Nope." she said.

"Would you like to go?" he asked.

"I'd... oh god no!" she gasped.

At first Peter thought she was saying 'no' to him, until he followed her line of sight to behind him.

Turning around, Peter saw a gorgeous blond-haired woman in a blue dress and matching shoes walk into the shop.

Mikaela recognized her instantly.

Alice, the Decepticon pretender that tried to seduce Sam and then kill them all back in college.

Mikaela had thought that she had crushed Alice with that stolen car from the campus, but here she/it was, in the flesh and fully functioning.

"Hello, Mikaela." the blond robot said.

"Alice." Mikaela said with anger and disdain in her voice. "But how? I thought I crushed you."

"You did. It took me years to properly repair myself. Hiding away from the world wasn't easy, but I managed it. With the fall of the Decepticons, I have come back seeking revenge. On you!" the blond 'woman' said.

Peter looked at the two women staring each other down, wondering what the problem was, before Mikaela raced over to a nearby workbench and grabbed a sledge hammer. She spun around and hurled it at Alice, who easily caught it with one hand. Peter gasped as he saw that. Mikaela grabbed the blowtorch and tried to ignite it, only for Alice to growl as she opened her mouth as a twenty-foot long tongue shot out of her mouth and wrapped around Mikaela's arm before yanking her across the garage.

Mikaela cried out as she flew through the air, only to be caught by Peter.

"Are you alright?" Peter asked.

"Fine. We gotta get of here! She's too much for us to deal with on our own." Mikaela said.

"Actually, I think I can take her." Peter said.

"What?" she gasped.

"Time to die, human." Alice said.

"I don't think so." Peter said as he stepped in front of Mikaela.

To both Alice's and Mikaela's surprise , Peter's skin suddenly went from flesh to solid steel.

"You're a robot?" Alice gasped.

"No." Peter said.

"You can't be human!" she retorted.

"Not exactly." he said to her.

"What in the Matrix are you?" Alice gasped.

"I'm Colossus." Peter said.

Sneering at the large metal man, Alice attacked, leaping into the air at him, as Colossus grabbed the female robot and tossed her back towards a large truck at the back of the shop.

Mikaela gasped as she witnessed the brute strength that Peter seemed to possess. Alice attacked again, punching Colossus in the face and chest. Colossus was pushed back until he grabbed Alice by the arms and tossed her up into the ceiling. She hit the ceiling, making a dent, then crashed back into the ground, but quickly got up and attacked once again.

She tackled Colossus around the waist, knocking him into a rack of tools and spare parts.

"Time to die, you faker!" Alice screamed as she squeezed Colossus's neck.

"I don't think so." Mikaela screamed as she quickly jumped in between the pair, bringing up a blowtorch and striking Alice in the face.

"AAHHH!" the Cybertronian screamed in pain.

Alice recoiled from Mikaela as Colossus sprang up and smashed his fist into her body.

Striking at her head and chest, Colossus damaged her central control module and spark enough to completely disable and neutralize her.

Alice fell backwards as Colossus stood up and transformed back into Peter.

Mikaela breathed a sigh of relief as she looked back to Peter.

"I guess this means that dinner's off?" he asked.

"Only if you're backing out." she smirked.

"Really? After what you've just seen?" he asked her.

"What I've seen is you saving my ass from that psycho robo-bitch." she said. Plus, I don't think this is a bigger problem than I had with Sam.

"Yeah, exactly why was she after you? She said you crushed her with a car?" he asked.

"Yeah, long story." she replied.

"I'd like to hear it, over dinner?"

"I'll tell you mine, if you'll tell me yours." she smirked.

"Deal." he smiled.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Authors Notes:

Ever since the Third Transformers Movie, I always wondered what really happened to Mikaela and Sam, but I chose not to think about it too much when I heard that something happened between Megan Fox and Michael Bay. Apparently they had some kind of falling out, so she was cut from the third movie.

But anyway, this is just my version of what happened to Mikaela afterwards. With her finding a new boyfriend after Sam.

As always, please Read and Review.
