Saphira felt as if she had been in a haze over the last few hours. She paid very little attention to the agents as she sat in the SUV, being driven to a location where a helicopter was waiting for them. She was still too upset about what happened with Bumblebee and not knowing where Optimus was to really care. She barely heard anyone speaking to her, only following the orders of the agents as they tell her what to do. The cuffs were removed once she was in the chopper. She sat in the chopper, staring out the window as the vehicle flew through the air towards the location. She did not know what was going to happen, but she intended on figuring out a way to save Bumblebee. She felt as though it was her fault this happened. She didn't find the glasses sooner, and she had mainly thought that Witwicky was an idiot captain. Nonetheless, there was nothing she could do now.

As the sun rises though, Saphira was able to see a massive dam below them. She looked at it carefully and realized that the dam was where this Sector 7 was. She rolled her eyes a little as she saw the military vehicles from above as the pilot steered the helicopter towards a helipad to land. She was surprised they had landed a few miles away, which would require them to get into another car to get to the place. She was unstrapped from the helicopter and she stepped out of the aircraft and follow the agents to another, awaiting SUV.

"Hey! Why is there a civilian here?" A voice startled Saphira and turned in surprise to see a military officer with short cut, brown hair and warm brown eyes, he had a concerned expression on his face upon seeing Saphira. "She's a teenager!"

"She's here for the same reason as you soldier," An agent responds to the man and gestured for him to get into the vehicle. "Let's stop wasting time Captain. You and Robert can get in this car."

Saphira huffed a little, getting into the car and pulling a seatbelt on, resting her elbow on the door and looking out the window. She heard the men getting in and she glanced at them, noticing they kept a respectful distance from her. The Captain looked at her with a kind expression, he had noticed the bags under Saphira's eyes and the tear stains on her cheeks, he could see the teenager has going through a lot.

"Hello, I am William Lennox." He extends his hand to Saphira as a polite gesture. "Are you here about some robotic creatures right?" Saphira nodded silently, taking his hand and shaking it gently. "I see you must have had one hell of a night recently. Are you okay? The agents didn't hurt you at all?"

"I am fine…I guess." Saphira sighed, looking away from Lennox to look back out the window. "And yeeaaaa…I bought a car…it turned out to be an alien robot." The man widened his eyes in shock when he heard her say that and Saphira glanced back at him. "Don't worry, he did not hurt me. He is very nice."

"That explains why the girl was brought here." The other man said, he leaned forward and extended his hand towards her. "Sergeant Robert Epps, nice to meet you young lady. If only it were on better circumstances. We met unfriendly robots recently on our last mission, they nearly killed us. So forgive me for thinking you might have been in danger."

Saphira was surprised to hear that and she smiled at both men. "I'm Saphira…and I did meet one of the unfriendlies. They're called decepticons."

"Decepticons? Hmm…suits them and their red ass eyes." Robert shakes his head, glancing towards the facility as the agent drove them towards the dam. "I do not get why we are here though. We were gonna deal with them."

"Not all the bots are dangerous though. I met autobots too."

"Autobots?"

"It is short for autonomous robotic organisms. They came from a planet called Cybertron that no longer exists." Saphira shrugged, turning her head to look out the window. "Don't worry, I'm telling you because you guys are not like stupid government agents."

Lennox chuckled gently. "Indeed we are not. I guess that is what we get for being military. Instant respect."

"Plus, you are more able to listen to reason. I hope it will be the case because I met four other autobots last night, and their leader." William was still trying to work out why the autobots even came to Saphira in the first place. It seemed odd that this teen girl was caught up in something that should be bigger than her. "They are looking for something to stop destruction upon our world."

"Oh, so the decepticons are the invaders and the autobots are our saviours?" Robert asked lightheartedly, making Saphira giggle a little at his train of thought. "Hmm…I guess someday we had to find out we need aliens to save our asses."

"I guess we need to convince these agents there are good aliens huh?" William said, glancing out the window at the SUV comes to a stop in front of the dam. "Defence Secretary John Keller is coming here too. He might speak some sense in these agents because he's more military sense than government lanky sense."

Saphira did not know if that was a good or bad thing, but she did not comment on it. She stepped out of the car and walked over to the stone edge overlooking the dam, gazing down at the structure wondering why this place was built. She did not think it was just to capture water for nearby civilization. She glanced to her right as the shadow of Lennox caught her eye and he was also very curious about this structure and its purpose.

"Captain, Miss Saphira, will you please follow us?" A voice caught both their attention. Saphira turned around to see a man short, gre hair on his head and a mustache, he was looking at them both with narrow eyes behind his glasses. "I am Thomas Banachek, I see overall operations here at Sector Seven."

"I still think Sector Seven doesn't exist," Robert said bluntly, narrowing his eyes at the man in the suit. "But, whatever, we are here. So let's go." He turned and walked towards a narrow bridge leading towards a tower with a blue clock on it that would have an elevator inside.

Saphira said nothing, following them from behind as she did not want to be beside them as she was not a military person. However, she saw Simmons standing and waiting ahead of them, making her groan. She did not like this man at all. She hoped that once this was over, she would never see him again. Lennox and Robert walk around Simmons, but they both noticed that the man was waiting for Saphira and Tom had stopped too, turning to watch Simmons.

"Hey young lady," Seymour said in a calm voice while Saphira simply scoffed at him. "I think we got off to a bad start huh?" Saphira said nothing again, only clenching her jaw slightly as the man removed his sunglasses. "I wanted to apologize about your parents."

"Don't. I planned on never speaking to them again once I hit eighteen anyway." Saphira glanced around at the dam and smirked at him. "So this is the infamous Sector Seven huh? Quite the location."

"Thank you, we are very proud of it." Simmons must have ignored the sarcasm in her voice to take it as a compliment. He casts a glance down her body as Saphira had changed out of her purple skivvy and was wearing a short sleeve blouse. "Nice outfit. You must be hungry huh?" The man placed a hand on Saphira's shoulder and she grimaced at the contact. "You want a latte? Hoho? Double venti macchiato?"

Saphira shrugged his hand off her shoulder and stepped back from him slightly. "Where is Bumblebee?" Simmon's kind expression was quick to change to annoyance as soon as Saphira asked him about the autobot. "What have you done with him?"

"Honey, I need you listen to me very carefully." Banachek stepped closer, gazing at Saphira with a stern look. "People can die here. We need to know everything you know, we need to know it now."

"Am I hearing things, or did these two government agents just threaten a minor?" Lennox asked outloud, looking at Robert casually as he spoke. Both agents were surprised to hear the captain speak and glanced at him with stern expressions. "Hey, if you didn't threaten her, let me know and I will forget about it."

"Errr, ooohhh, I don't know. I think Tom did just threaten the young lady." Robert shakes his head with a frown. "That is not cool man. She's just a kid. We are more capable of having you arrested. Especially you…" Robert points at Simmons who raised his hand in shock. "I saw those downward glances. I will shoot you personally if you keep at it."

Saphira smirked a little, these two military men were quick to jump to her defence and she liked them already. "I will tell you. But know that Bumblebee is not your enemy. He has not hurt anyone, unlike you."

"Come with me, we will talk about your car," Banachek said, gesturing for them to follow and he turned to walk away, leaving Simmons standing there fuming about the men threatening him.

"He's not a car, he's more than that," Saphira muttered under her breath. Referring to Bee as a car felt wrong, he was her friend after all. She hoped he would be okay, she didn't know where he was right now.

"Are you okay?" She turned her head, looking at William who was giving her a concerned expression. It was a fatherly concerned expression, she did not know he was a father right now. "I saw how uncomfortable you were. Say the word, and we will have him in prison for it."

"Eh, he's an idiot for sure. But, I think it isn't necessary. I have a feeling he'll be punished for this anyway." Saphira had a smirk on her face and the man nodded, hoping she was right. "Thanks for the backup though."

He chuckled softly and pats her shoulder gently. "No worries, we got your back."

Stepping into the elevator, Saphira was quiet again, glancing around the silver, metal box that moved down the tower towards the lower level. She had no idea where it was exactly they were going, but she guessed they were going to find out anyway. She didn't know if she should be nervous or not of course because she did not know what would happen to her once she gave them the information. Sure, Lennox and Robert knew a little bit because she told them where the robots had come from and the type of creatures that they are, but she trusted them almost instantly. And they seemed to be nice people so far and they were already willing to protect her from the agents, so she had no reason to distrust them.

The elevator doors open when the reach the lower level, and Saphira was met with another man wearing a suit. He had blonde hair that appeared to be going grey and she had seen him on the TV many times. "A civilian? Really?" He looked at Saphira with his blue eyes, frowning that a teenager was part of this too. "I am sorry you were dragged into this young lady."

She shrugged at him. "They came to me, I wasn't dragged into anything other than trying to save our lives from the decepticons."

"Decepticons? Ah, must be the things that attacked Lennox and his men over in the Middle East," The Secretary responded, raising his eyebrows impressed by the knowledge. "But how did you know?"

"I bought a car that turned out to be an alien robot. And, those asteroids last night, contained four more autobots who came here to save the planet. I met their leader too." Saphira shrugged and looked up at the mountains overshadowing them now. "Mr Keller, I hope this is not going to bite my ass in the future."

"I will see to it that it won't." The man turned to looked at Tom and Simmons who were chatting to each other for the moment. "Can you please continue leading us and explain why we are all here? I have many more important matters to attend to."

"Alright, here's the situation!" Simmons announced, gesturing for them to follow them towards a large, round doorway that would lead deeper into the base. "Captain Lennox, his team and Miss Saphira Dawn here have all had direct contact with NBEs."

"NBE?" Robert frowned in confusion, looking at the man for answers.

"Non-Biological Extraterrestrials," Simmons responded in a slight irritated tone. "Try and keep up with the acronyms."

Robert grumbled a little and rolled his eyes, it was obvious that the man was getting pissed off at Simmons, and Saphira did not blame him. She didn't know if the autobots were really non-biological, but they were alive so she guessed it was possible they were biological. It was from a human perspective that they weren't, which probably is a foolish way of looking at them. They walk into the tunnel, leading towards a large room. Saphira shivered feeling cold air rushing past them and she could hear the sound of tools being used ahead.

"What you are about to see, is totally classified," Banachek announced as they walk around the bend and Saphira widened her eyes in shock as she saw something standing on a raised pedestal.

Megatron!

He was completely covered in ice, and whatever machines were around him, they were keeping him extremely cold. Saphira did not think he was dead, but seeing this decepticon who appeared as large as Optimus with a beastly-shaped head and long, slender fingers made her shudder. Her heart was increasing speed as well, this was what Captain Witwicky found so many years ago. The soldiers and secretary were as astonished as she was, fearful of who this being was and what he could do.

"Dear god, what is that?" Keller asked in disbelief, looking up at the massive robotic form before him in the massive chamber they were all standing in.

No one answered the secretary as they approach Megatron. "We think when he made his approach over the north pole, our gravitational field screwed up his telematry." That seemed like a reasonable reason as to why he was in the Arctic in the first place. "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 said in a proud tone as if he had owned the naming of Megatron. Saphira could not help but scoff loudly, getting all eyes turned to her. "What now young lady?"

"Well, sir…" Saphira looked up at Megatron, getting a good look of his appearance as she spoke. "I don't mean to correct you on everything you think you know, but…uh, that is Megatron." She tilts her head slightly when she noticed slight movement in Megatron's face, more specifically his eyes. They tilt downward and lock onto hers suddenly. Saphira was surprised by the movement and realized he is still alive. "He's the leader of the decepticons. And appears to me, might still be very much alive."

It seemed obvious no one else had noticed the movement in Megatron's eyes. He must have heard her say his name somehow to do that. "He's been in cryostatis since 1935." Tom gestures to Megatron as if he was not going to wake up and looked at Saphira. "Captain Archibald Witwicky made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind. Good thing your grandfather kept information about him."

"I guess…but…Archibald was still an idiot." Saphira shrugged, shivering a little with her arms folded to try and keep warm in the presence of the cold air coming from Megatron.

"Regardless, the fact is you're looking at the source of the modern age," Simmons said, gazing up at the decepticon as he paced a little while talking more about the decepticon. "The microchip, lasers, spaceflight, cars, all reverse-engineered by studying him." The man walked closer to Saphira, pretending not to notice her for a moment. "NBE One…" He turned his head, looking at Saphira while she kept her eyes on Megatron. "That's what we call it."

She rolled her eyes, not caring if that is what they called him, Megatron was his real name regardless. "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?" Keller demanded as he glared at Banachek while gesturing to Megatron.

"Until these events, we had no credible threat to national security," The man responded calmly, unphased by the man's rightful anger and frustration thrown at him.

"Well you got one now!" The man snapped, he was very unimpressed by all of this. "It would have happened eventually and all of this would be out in the world. Very good sir, very good."

Lennox turned to look at Saphira with a curious expression. "Do you know why they came to Earth Saphira?"

She nodded. "It's the All Spark."

Keller frowned in confusion at Saphira. "All Spark? What is that?"

"They came here looking for some sort of cube-looking thing. Anyway, Mr NBE One here…" She glanced at Simmons with narrowed eyes. "AKA Megatron, that's his real name, not a that's what they call him, who's pretty much the harbinger of death wants to use the Cube to transform human technology and takeover the universe. That's their plan."

"And you're sure about that?" Simmons asked curiously, Saphira looked at him and she saw both Simmons and Banachek seemed to have expressions that they knew where the Cube was.

"I was not told anything else as to why the decepticons are here, so yeah." Saphira glanced up at Megatron again for a moment, raising an eyebrow and looking back at the men. "You know where it is don't you?"

Banachek and Simmons exchange looks for a moment before Tom sighed deeply and gestured for them to follow him. "Follow me. Although I have admit, it sounds a bit like you were defending Megatron by correcting us with his name Miss Dawn."

She frowned at him as she followed him towards a door that leads away from Megatron into another hallway. "Hey, if you want to piss the decepticon off by not calling him the correct name and die for it, be my guest. You all probably wanted to know what his real name was anyway."

She hears Lennox snort behind her and she grinned. She really wasn't defending his name at all, she was simply correcting it. She did wonder how he was able to move his eyes like that. There was no noise when the eyes have moved, which would be the reason why no one took notice, but sure someone else saw the movement. At least, that is what she thought.

Walking down the hallway to another door, Saphira wondered how many floors and rooms this place had. Nonetheless, she guessed the Cube was in the room ahead. "What you're about to see is our crown jewel!" Simmons announced, walking ahead of the group and opening up into a smaller room with a large glass window overlooking a large room.

Crown jewel, it doesn't even belong to us!

Saphira gazed out the window, seeing the massive cube object in the room that was being studied. She wished so much she could tell Optimus she found it and give him the coordinates to it. But she had no way of reaching him, which bothered her a lot. She didn't know if he would be able to locate the spark here in the base with those glasses.

"Carbon dating puts the Cube here around 10,000 BC," Tom explained while he watches the group stare out the window gazing at the Cube. "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. A perfect way to hide its energy from being detected by anyone or any alien spieces on the outside."

Saphira shakes her head as she listened to the man. She couldn't believe it at all. "Well…now we have the opportunity of doing the right thing by handing it over to Optimus Prime and the other autobots."

"Out of the question!" Simmons snapped bluntly. "The Cube remains here, he will not reach it here."

"Uh huh, the glasses I gave him will have the Cube's coordinates on it thanks to Megatron imprinting them when Witwicky found him." Saphira turned to look at Simmons, placing her hands on her hips as she looked at him. "The way I see it, they will get it, on way or another."

"Is Optimus Prime the leader you mentioned?" Lennox asked Saphira curiously and she nodded to him. "Saphira said they are here to protect us from the decepticons. I think we should listen to her."

Simmons scoffs loudly and laughs like he was joking before shaking his head with a stern expression. "No way are we leaving our lives in the hands of a sixteen-year-old."

"NBE One being next door isn't a concern that he might thaw out and take the Cube huh?" Lennox questioned, tensing slightly as he glared at Simmons. "If the decepticons remain while this thing is hiding here, which I assume they will, the decepticons will keep killing people to get it. You want to save lives? Do something about it and listen to someone else."

As Lennox finished speaking, they all gasp as the ground above them shake from explosions from above. The walls and glass shakes from the impact and Saphira was surprised by how soon it was for something to find the dam.

"Gentlemen, young lady, they know the Cube is here," John Keller announced, glancing to Banachek and Simmons who both were startled by the sudden explosions from above, they clearly had not planned for something like this to happen right now.

Tom walked over to a radio and slammed a hand on a button. "Banachek here, what is going on?" He demanded, glaring at the radio for information.

"The NBE One hanger has lost power and the backup generator is just not gonna cut it," The voice on the other end responds nervously while delivering the news to them.

This was not good. Megatron was going to thaw out. Saphira glanced out the window with wide eyes at the Cube. She had to try and convince them to let Bumblebee get to the Cube, he should know what to do with it. At least, she hoped considering she didn't know if it would have to be Optimus who handles it or not.

"Do you have an arms room?" Lennox asked, taking the attack seriously as he knew what was about to happen. "We need weapons sir, otherwise we are going into a fight with not weapons."

"Follow me!" Simmons shouted, running out of the room to lead the group away from the Cube to an arms room.

Saphira turned away from the window to follow, she had option but to follow. She ran behind the men, keeping up with them as best as she could while they ran through the hallways to the weapon room. Banachek ran with them while yelling orders at the other employees here to get out of here as it was no longer safe. When they reach the arms room, there were already agents prepping weapons and she saw Lennox and Robert gather weapons to prepare as well. She felt rather helpless because she didn't even know how to use a gun properly. After all, she was skilled driving a car, not shooting a gun. She gasped as the lights dim above them again, hearing the sounds of explosions from above.

Her patience had worn thin and she stormed over to Simmons. "You gotta take me to Bumblebee! You have to take me to him, he's going to know what to do with the Cube."

"Your car? It's confiscated." Simmons shakes his head, focusing on prepping weapon ready to fight.

She frowned at him and scoffed loudly. "Then unconfiscate him! Let him go, he shouldn't be your prisoner for experiments!"

"We do not know what will happen if we let it near this thing!" Simmons snapped at Saphira, shaking his head at her.

"So you wanna just sit here and see what happens huh?"

"I have people's lives at stake here, young lady!" Simmons hissed and paused for a moment, his eyes once again trailing over her body shamelessly. "You might be bright in your school work, little girl, but you are not smart about a war."

"Take her to the autobot!" William snapped, storming over to Simmons and grabbing him by his vest and slamming him into a vehicle, pulling out a handgun aiming for him. "I've just about had enough of you!"

"Woah! Woah!" Banachek said loudly, raising his hands as all the military pull their weapons out and aim them at the armed agents.

"Drop your weapon soldier," Simmons ordered calmly with his hands raised in surrender to the man. "There's an alien war going on and you're gonna shoot me?"

"You know, we didn't ask to be here!" Lennox glared at the man and glanced over his shoulder at Saphira. "Nor did she ask to be here. The least you could do is show her some respect, because I will happily shoot you for harassment of the young lady!"

"I'm ordering you under S-Seven executive jurisdiction, stand down!" Simmons ordered again, completely ignoring what the captain had just told him.

"S-Seven doesn't exist," Robert said with a frown, holding his gun towards an agent who held a gun at Lennox.

"Right, and we don't take orders from people who don't exist." Lennox smirked as he spoke, narrowing his eyes at Simmons.

"I'm gonna count to five."

Lennox pressed his handgun on Simmons' chest, not backing down from the warning. "Well, I'm gonna count to three."

Things were really tense. Saphira had stepped away from this confrontation, she was nervous that there would be shots fired. However, she did like how Lennox literally put Simmons in his place. She was tired of the man as well. It was strange having someone else defend her when she never had anyone do it for her before, but it was nice.

"Simmons." Keller spoke up, smirking at the man as he had observed and heard everything. "I'd do what he says. Losing's not really an option for these guys. However, I do agree about the harassment part. I hope you like seeing metal bars for the rest of your life."

Simmons glanced between Keller and Lennox, he frowned as he was backed into a corner. He didn't want to go to jail of course, but it was looming over him just as much as a war. "All right…okay. Hey, you want to lay the fate of the world on the girl's Camaro? That's cool."

"Lead us to him!" William demands, pulling away from Simmons, still glaring at him. Simmons nodded before gesturing to follow him and walk briskly out of the room. Saphira moved to run after him as Will placed a hand on her arm to stop her. "You're all good?"

"Yes, thanks. Now I need to help Bee." She turned away from the man to ran after Simmons to get to Bee.

Saphira had no idea what to expect, but the closer they got, the louder she heard those painfilled groans and cries from a room down the hallway. She grimaced, her heart was hurting for Bumblebee right now. She wished she could have stopped this sooner because she had no idea what had happened to Bee during this time. She hoped he was still in fighting condition.
