So now here is the next Chapter. I just got a new computer and it doesn't have spellcheck, so there may be spelling mistakes. Just bare with me.

Koda walked out of the hospital room with her hands cuffed in front of her and two soldiers guarding her. She didn't try to resist. She walked out to the airstrip where a set of large C-17 were waiting for the team to depart. She walked up into the cargo bay where there was military equipment and several soldiers getting ready for the flight. She was shown to a section that had been cordoned off as a holding cell of sorts, just for her.

She was sad that she couldn't see here family and that she was all alone with no one she knew. She was also worried about Sideswipe and what his condition was. Koda was a little happier when she was notified that the guard that had been assigned to her was none other than Ironhide.

As she sat on a bench and waited for final departure, she played around with electricity in the palms of her hands, trying to practice control. Then she looked up from where she was sitting and smiled when she saw the familiar shape of the large black GMC Topkick driing towards her. "Ironhide." She stood up and walked over as close as she could to where Ironhide had parked. Ironhide then appeared in his holoform in her holding area.

"Ironhide, I am so happy to see someone that I know." Ironhide was shocked when she threw herself into his arms. "Shadow? What is with you?" Koda didn't answer and instead began to cry. Ironhide had only seen her be tough during this entire incident and this is the first time he had seen her just break down.

He held her in his arms trying to calm her down. "Shadow, don't worry, calm down, you're safe here." Koda looked up at Ironhide with puffy red eyes filled with tears. "Your lying Ironhide, I know you are. How can it be alright when I am being held here against my will, and in cuffs. I know that people have suspicions about me and they think that I am dangerous. So don't go telling me that everything is alright."

Ironhide didn't know what to do so he just hugged her. Then he felt his spark warm and begin to hum. Koda also noticed that her chest became warm. Koda immediately move away from Ionhide and the feeling went away. Ironhide was perplexed by that reaction. "What is it Shadow?" Koda just stayed silent and went back to sit down.

Ironhide walked over to her, now worried. "Shadow, is there something bothering you?" He went and sat down next to her and as soon as he did, she moved away from him. He was really worried now. Koda then spoke but she said something that Ironhide didn't expect. "It doesn't concern you so forget it." Ironhide knew that that was his cue to butt out so his holoform disappeared and he just sat there in his alt form.

Koda sat on the bench, quiet and just played around with her electricity. She looked at Ironhide every now and again, but not saying anything. She knew that she shouldn't have been so rude to Ironhide, she knew he was only trying to help. She looked over at him again. "Ironhide, I'm sorry."

Ironhide's holoform appeared once more in front of her, but she wouldn't look him in the eyes. Ironhide went and sat down next to her and this time she didn't move away. "Shadow, what do you really feel about this?" Koda just looked at Ironhide. "What do you care, I know that you feel the same way as the others, that you suspect that I am dangerous. Can you tell me one thing, why do you suspect that I am a danger?"

Ironhide didn't know how to explain this. "Look Shadow, your right, I am suspect of you but still… I just find it for the safety of everyone that things should be done. Ratchet and Bumblebee have agreed with me. I am sorry that this has happened."

Koda was still mad at Ironhide, but she was also curious about a few things as well. "Am I allowed to ask you some questions Ironhide? First off, can I call you 'Hide'?" Ironhide smiled internally because he was finally getting through to Koda. He looked at Koda and nodded. "Yes, you can call me 'Hide'. Some of my friends do as well. And I will try to answer your questions, from what I can tell you."

Koda became a little bit happier from that. "Ok, Hide. So what are you guys and where are you from?" Iornhide should have known that this was coming. "Well Shadow, Prime is usually better at explaining the answer to this question but I will try my best." Koda looked for him to continue. "We are what Prime referees to as Autonomous Robotic Organisms, and we come from a distant planet called Cybetron." Koda nodded, taking in what Ironhide was telling her.

"So what are you doing on Earth if you are from another planet? And if your high and mighty robots, why didn't you just take over this planet? I mean, you don't really have much of a challenge."

"Well, our planet has been ravaged by centuries of war and the lifeblood of our planet had been lost to the stars. What is known on your planet as the Cube, we call it the Allspark. It gives the spark to all Cybertronians. We followed the Cube to your planet and we fought against our enemy, the Decepticons back in Mission City about a year ago. The Allspark was destroyed, and now we have no reason to return to our planet."

"Ok, so you are aliens fighting a war over the thing that gave your race life. Why are you still on Earth and didn't take it over as your own?"

"Well Shadow, that's all because of our Leader, Optimus Prime. He made the decision to take the Allspark offworld and after it was destroyed, he decided to make your planet our new home. He believes in freedom being the right of all setient beings and deems your race to fall under that category."

"So you are the good guys? Alright, You also said that the 'Decepticons' were your enemy, does that make them the bad guys?"

"The Decepticons are what you call 'Bad Guys' and they don't give a slag about you humans, or your planet. We are here to protect your race and your planet from them. We all originally came to retrieve the Allspark, but since it is now destroyed, we live here and protect you and the other humans."

"Ok, so the Decepticons are evil. And you believe that I am a threat to you guys and the others. So I am guessing that you think I'm a Decepticon?" When Ironhide heard that she came to this conclusion, and how quickly she had come to it, he was shocked. He didn't know how to answer. Koda was staring at him with a serious look in her eyes. "Well Shadow, Understand this, there are things about you that just don't add up."

"Like what?"

"Well, your eyes are not a normal colour for humans, and I have found out that it is not even possible for a human to have crimson eyes. Crimson eyes are also the colour of a Decepticon's optics. You also have this strange ability of yours with electricity, and I have only seen this ablity in beings of my race. I also scanned you when we first met and-"

"Ok Ironhide, I get it and- wait, you scanned me? Why?"

"Well I scanned you when I felt a strange presence around my alt form back at your house. I did that to make sure you were not an enemy. But when I did scan you, I found that-" Then Lennox walked up to Ironhide and Koda and interrupted their conversation. "Hey Hide, we'll be descending in 20. Also, remember not to discuss it with Dakoda." With that, Ironhide understood what he was talking about. "Sorry Shadow, but we can't discuss this matter any further."

Koda was saddened by that proclaimation, but she understood. She didn't know what to say after that but then she remembered someone that she had been worried about. "Hey Hide, can you answer one more question for me?" Ironhide nodded his head. "I was wondering, how is Sideswipe? And do you think you could tell me more about you and him?" Ironhide then went ahead and explained everthing about them.

"Shadow, he is doing fine. He is on another aircraft, heading to our temperary base at what you humans refer to as the 'Hoover Dam'. He is in bad condition but because of you, he is still alive."

"Ok, so can you tell me more about the two of you?"

"Well, like I told you before, I am a Weapons Specialist for the Autobot team here on Earth. I was just your average soldier back on Cybertron and Sideswipe was one of my students. Sideswipe also has a twin brother named Sunstreaker and they both trained under me. They were both good fighters and they were also artists. They were pretty much inseperable. I always had to punish them when they pulled off pranks."

"They are pranksters? Cool. So Ironhide, if Sideswipe is here, then where is Sunstreaker?"

"That is what we are all wondering as well. We know that Sideswipe was being chased by some Cons and that he was somehow seperated from Sunstreaker."

Koda understood all this. "So Sides must be very lonely. I know how he feels right now." Ironhide saw how Koda was growing sadder now and he wanted to comfort her but wasn't too sure how. Then a voice came on the plane PA. "We are now approaching the Hoover Dam runway and we will be landing momentarily." They felt the plane begin to descend and felt the bump as they landed. Ironhide returned to his alt form and waited for the cargo door to open. Two soldiers came up to Koda to escort her into the base. She stood up and allowed them to lead her out of her confinement. She said goodbye to Ironhide and they left.

Inside the base, Koda was lead to an elevator that took her more than 15 stories down below ground level. She was lead down a long, wide corridor with tall buildings that had high ceilings. She was guessing that this was so that the bots could walk through. They walked by several large doorways over 20 ft tall and then came to a large open area. The area was divided into several sections. One area had several Weapons stockpiled around the room. Koda guessed that this was where Ironhide stayed because some of the weapons were larger than normal. There was also several very large canisters of neon blue liquid laying around.

She was guided up stairs and went past several doors that were closed tight. She was lead up about 2-4 stories up and was lead to a room that had a security panel and an electric lock. One of the soldiers typed in a code and then Koda heard gears turning and then the door slid open. She was escorted into the room, which was bigger than she thought it would be.

When she entered the room, one of the soldiers uncuffed her hands. She rubbed at her wrists as the soldier explained the situation. "Dakoda Ray, you are to remain in your room until the rest of the team is finished preperations for future developments. After these have been completed, you may have the run of the place, but you will be restricted to our more public areas, including the library, cafateria, rec room, etc. You will also have either a guard or an Autobot with you at all times. Also, your family dropped off some of your things, including your computer and your clothing."

Koda looked around at the room. There was a dresser, a bed, a desk, and another door. It reminded her of her bedroom back home, but without the weapons and was about the same size as well. She kind of felt like things were starting to change for the better, and then got a worried look on her face. "Uh, can I ask one question, where is the bathroom?" The soldier pointed to the door that had caught her attention. "Ok thanks."

The soldier nodded and then said one last thing. "If you need anything, we will be right outside. There is a comm. link on the wall over here and just press the button. We will only be watching you during the day, at night another set of soldiers will take the night shift. Also Ironhide will act as a second guard on your room." Koda smiled when she heard that. "And before you ask, Call me Erin, and that there is Jacob. Also this room has wifi for you to use freely but we will be monitoring your internet activity." Then they left Koda to herself.

Koda ran straight over for the desk, in which her laptop was on it. "Oh man, my computer. It seems like forever since I've been on it. This may seem like a totally crappy time but I am glad that I have some familiar things." Then she sat down and began to type.

Out in a nearby room, the Autobots were meeting with Lennox and were speaking with the Joint Chief of Staff and Chairman Morshower over satillite feed on how to proceed with the current situation. "So Optimus, how do you think we should proceed with this?"

Optimus had been considering what to do since Sideswipe had landed. "I believe that it would be best if I was to talk to her myself. I want to meet her and see what we should do. Then I will know where to go from there."

Chairman Morshower was too thrilled with the whole idea of having a teenage girl under military arrest, especially under the cicumstances. "I understand Optimus Prime. You will be allowed to speak to her. But we will also need to talk to her as well."

Optimus nodded in understanding. "Understood. Ratchet will also need to examine her to clear up the problems that we have in confirming what she is. We also have another priority that should be looked after. Sideswipe is in terrible condition, but he will live. When he came to Earth, two Decepticons also landed. Their designations are Dead End and Swindle and they are not to be messed with."

Lennox nodded. "Alright Optimus, we will make the preperations to track the Cons and to make sure that everything is ready for when we move to our new base in a few weeks." Then the meeting ended. The screens shut off and Lennox left for his room. Ratchet also left to return to the makeshift Med Bay to check on Sideswipe.

Ironhide was about to leave as well to go check on his stockpile but stopped. Something had been tugging at his spark ever since that contact with Koda on the plane. He turned to talk to Optimus. "Prime, I would like to discuss sommething with you, if you would let me." Optimus looked at his weapon specialist and nodded. "Sure old friend. What is on your processor?"

"Well Prime, it's this girl. There's just something about her that seems, off. I just am starting to doubt that she has something to do with the Decepticons."

"Why do you now doubt your own thoughts?"

"Well Prime, on the plane, I was talking to her and I just started to get this feeling in my spark that something was going on. It feels like I have a connection with her. She also showed concern for Sideswipe, and up on that hill, she tried to save him. I doubt that if she was really a Con, she would have helped save the life of one of us."

"I understand, but that does not change the circumstances that we are currently in. She is still an unknown to us and we have to clear this up before we proceed with anything else. But, I will take your change of spark into account for when I talk with her."

"Alright Prime, and I'll get back to my stock pile."

Ironhide returned to his room and began to devulge his stock of weapons, checking them over. Then he looked up to the room that he had been told that Koda would be staying in and one of the guards waved him over. Ironhide put down the weapon he was holding and walked over to the platform. "What is it fleshy?"

The soldier leaned over the railing. "Guess that your wondering about the girl? Well just to let you know, she seemed pretty happy to hear that you would be her guard. Also, she is doing just fine." Ironhide was happy to hear that and then went back to his work.

A few hours later, a soldier came into the room and walked up the stairs to Koda's room. Ironhide looked questioningly and the soldier answered that look. "Optimus is ready to speak with her." He nodded and then the soldier continued up the stairs.

In the room, Koda had gone straight to her computer. Alot had happened in the past 48 hours and she just wanted to tell someone, but she knew she couldn't. She decided to go online and watch some videos. She also did a check on websites that had been ceated talking about giant robots in Mission City. She found some weird ones, including: TheRealEffingDeal dot com and GiantEffingRobots dot com.

She couldn't believe all the crazy conspiracies that involved the "alien robot visitors" being seen all over the world. She laughed at a few of the "sightings" that she saw. Some of them just seemed ridiculus and random, others seemed to make some sense.

She then got bored of the websites and then went over to her bed and went to lay down. She seemed to have dozed off, because she woke up to hear a voice calling her name. "Dakoda Ray, you are need for an interview now. We will be entering your room."

Then the door opened and a soldier that she did not recognize entered the room. He walked over to her and she sat up on the bed. "Dakoda Ray, you have been requested an interview and you are now needed." She got up and nodded. "Alright, I don't have to be cuffed now, do I?" The soldier then shook his head and Koda smiled. She then followed behind the soldier and they left the room.

Dear Book,

The past couple of days have been totally WEIRD. I can't believe everything that happened.

It turns out that Aliens are real. The meteor shower was actually three giant robotic aliens from a distant planet named Cybertron. The good guys are called Autobots and the bad guys are called Decepticons. Apparently they are fighting a galactic war for thousands of years.

One of the Autobots is actually Ian Howard and his real name is Ironhide. Ironhide seems really kind and he is really caring. He is actually the GMC Topkick.

Also, Sam knows about the Autobots as well. I knew that there was something off about the car and the truck. Sam's Camaro is also another of the Autobots, named Bumblebee. Bumblebee is Adorable.

Up on the hill after the shower I meet another Autobot that had just rrived from space. His name was Sideswipe and he was gravely injured. I tried to help him by using my powers. After I used my powers, I blacked out and I talked to Sideswipe, but I don't know how I did that.

I feel like there is a strange link between Sideswipe and I. Also I don't know why but I feel like I have a connection between me and Ironhide as well. Everytime I am arouund him, I get a warm feeling in my chest.

Also, I found out that I am under suspicion by the Autobots and the government as being affiliated with the Decepticons. And now I am under Military Arrest.

I don't like this one bit. I am totally pissed about this actually. I haven't let anybody know this though. I have a feeling that thinks are going to get worse before they get better. I don't get to see my family or leave the complex that I am at. I am under watch 24/7 by armed guards and Ironhide. On the upside, I get to see Ironhide alot.

I have to go meet someone as well. I wonder who it is. I really hope that things don't get out of hand.

So this is going to be a crazy ride, but at least I don't have to ride it alone.

Type up here later.

Koda
