I awoke at the sound of the barn door opening. It was Cade.

"Sky? What are you doing in here?" He asks. I check my iPod, I always got this thing on me. 4:32 am. It was early for both me and Cade.

"I found this chairs magic butt switch." At home, when someone falls asleep in the chair, we say they found the magic butt switch. Cade cracks up,

"Anyway, I came in here to fix the truck. Wanna help?" He holds up a wrench.

"Yes!" I say rather quickly. We get to work on removing the radiator, the one that Lockdown shot a hole in. Using my nimble fingers, I pull out the screws and yank the radiator out. I see the hole, I could put my arm through it! It wasn't small. Cade and I looked at each other,

"We gotta tell Lucas and Tessa." I suggest. He nods. Now just to wait until they get up.

Time skip - 4 hours

I heard Tessa yelling for Cade. Then I heard Lucas pull up. A few minutes later they were in the barn.

"Tessa, Lucas. Check this out." I hold up the radiator.

"Something blew a fricking hole in this! And it's not normal steel!" I'm all giddy.

"Watch what happens when I hook it up to a car battery!" Cade exclaimed. Oh my god my inner Transfan is going crazy.

"Calling all-Calling all Autobots!" The truck said.

"It's not an ordinary truck! I think we just found a Transformer." Cade said as he unhooked the battery. Tessa and Lucas' jaws dropped.

"Dad, a word?" Tessa's voice was shaky. Cade nods and follows them out. I'm sure they're arguing if they should turn Optimus in. I'm staying in the barn, I gotta get that missile out of Optimus.

I'm looking around in the trucks engine for the missile. As I'm looking, I see a large silver thing lodged near the engine. Found it! I grab it gently, and slowly pull it out. That way it doesn't go off like it did. I feel like I'm dissecting something.

"There ya go, big guy. I got the missile out." I pat the truck. I walk over to a makeshift desk and put the missile down. I look at it, it looks to me more like a big bullet. Then I heard mechanical gears whirring. Uh oh, Optimus is gonna transform. I look back at the truck. The trucks parts were shifting rapidly, he's transforming!

Optimus stood up fast, only to fall to his knees. I look at how bad of shape he was in, it was so much worse than I thought. He looked over at me, I looked at him. I saw anger and fear in his optics. But he doesn't aim his gun at me. I slowly walk towards him with my hands up, showing that I'm not armed. He tenses up.

"Where am I?" He asks, his voice echoing off the walls.

"It's okay, Optimus. You're safe, and I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise." I say. Optimus somewhat relaxes. Just then, Cade, Tessa, and Lucas come into the barn. Aw shit, this won't turn out well. They all scream, Optimus takes out his gun.

"I'LL KILL YOU! Stay back!" He yells.

"WHOA! WHOA! Calm down! They won't hurt you!" I shout. Cade looks at me like I'm crazy. Like I said, I am.

"Get away from him!" Cade yells.

"He's not gonna hurt us, I know that." I calmly state. I look up at Optimus,

"Optimus, it's okay. They're friends of mine." I try calming him down. Lucas runs towards me, only for Optimus to whack him in the forehead with his gun. Lucas fell flat on his back. I try not to laugh, that looked really painful and funny at the same time.

"I warned ya, dummy." I snap. Lucas groans.

"My Autobots... They're in danger!" Optimus says. He tried taking a step forward, but he was so weak that he fell down. His right ear, I'm assuming, fell right off.

"I need to go, I need to go now..." His ear started bleeding energon. I look at him sympathetically.

"You can't, Optimus. You're hurt real bad, you can't make it there on your own. Not in your current state." I said. He slowly stands up.

"What is your name?" He asks.

"My name is Sky." I reply.

"Sky, I am in your debt." He says in that voice I love so much.

"And this is Cade, Tessa and Lucas." I point to them.

"My name is Optimus Prime." He says, then looks at me. A small smile appears on his face. I smile back. I pick up his earpiece,

"Optimus, Cade and I can fix you. But you'll have to trust us, will you?" I ask. Optimus hesitates for a minute. Then he nods. Time for my tech classes in school to come in handy.

Third person POV

Attinger had just arrived at Lockdowns ship in the Arctic. Lockdown approaches Attinger with an angry look on his face.

"I warn you Mr. Attinger of Earth. An alliance is a contract. And contracts, like humans, expire." He said rather annoyed.

"Where is this girl that you told me about?" Attinger asks the bounty hunter. Lockdown scowls,

"She got away somehow. She was late with meeting me and I went to look for her, but I couldn't find her. I only found her backpack. I saw many females while I was searching. One of them looked similar to her, but she looked different. The girl I captured had brown hair and brown eyes, the one I saw had red hair with streaks of blue and blue eyes." He growled.

"It's possible that it was a disguise, she could have been trying to fool you." Attinger suggests.

"How could she have changed her hair and eye color?" Lockdown asks with venom in his voice.

"She must've dyed her hair, and gotten her hands on movie eye contacts. They change color of people's eyes." Attinger said. Lockdown became enraged.

"How could I have fallen for a trick like that?!" He yelled. Then he remembers something.

"She got angry at me when I said Optimus was a criminal, she said he was her hero. She must have gone to find him!" He growls.

"Then what are we waiting for? I'll assemble Cemetery Wind." Attinger says. Lockdowns smirks.

"I will find the girl, and Optimus Prime." But Sky's parents heard what he said.

"Sky's in a world of trouble, and we can't help her. I can't lose another child." Sky's father said. Sky's mother pats his back,

"She just met Optimus, and got him to trust her, have faith that she'll be alright." She says. All they could do is watch and see what happens next.

Sky POV

I had just finished reattaching Optimus' earpiece. Good as new. It had taken me and Cade all afternoon to fix up the major wounds. Optimus was now more mobile. It was really dark outside, I dunno how late it was. But I do know that my crappy clothes were smothered with grease, sweat, antifreeze and Energon. I even got a cut on my left arm. I didn't tell anyone, mostly because I just noticed it now, and it's still fresh. I climbed down off of Optimus, and got to the floor.

"Cade, what time is it?" I ask. Cade looks at clock on the wall.

"10:30pm, we both need showers. I'm going in now." Cade said as he left. I'm about to leave the barn too, when Optimus stops me.

"Sky, can I talk to you for a minute?" He asks. So much for a hot shower.

"Yes you can." I walk up the ladder onto a platform a few feet from him.

"What is it?" I ask. He sighs.

"How do you know about Lockdown? And how did you know my name?" Optimus looks into my brown eyes. I hesitate. I knew he was gonna ask me about this at some point.

"I know about him because he kidnapped me. He took me aboard his ship, but he treated me fairly." I say nervously. I saw his optics widen.

"He kidnapped you? Why? How did you get away?" He was asking twenty thousand questions. But I gotta answer them all.

"Yeah he kidnapped me. Why? I don't know. But when Cemetery Wind shot at me, the bullets bounced off my skin like rubber. I got away by disguising myself and coming home with Tessa." It was the truth. His optics widened even more.

"I can't believe you managed to escape Lockdown. Only very few can do so and live." Optimus says. Then my eyes widen. Damn, I was lucky to get away.

"And I took some of his weapons, they're in the house, I'll go get them." Optimus nods, I go to climb down the ladder, until Optimus stops me.

"No need to show me, I believe you." He says.

"I only took them for self defense. In case he tried to hurt me." I explain. He nods. Optimus notices the cut on my arm.

"Sky, you need to clean your wound." He lifts up his hand, but there was still Energon on it. The Energon flew into the air, and landed in my open wound.
