Skylar's POV

There were so many of them!

I fiddle with my necklace. The rock had started glowing.

Strange...

All of a sudden, another thought pops into my head.

Wait a minute! The black and yellow one! I saw him in the mirror!

He lunges towards me and my captor.

I fly across the room like a rag doll.

"Ahh!" I scream.

I land on something hard.

"Ouch!" I yowl in pain.

I see a smiling bot looking down at me.

It grabs me and we dash across the room and hide behind a stack of boxes.

She sets me down and transforms.

I climb hastily into the driver's seat.

"Hi! I'm Strongarm! And you are?" She asks in a friendly tone.

I hesitate.

"Skylar..." I say.

"Well Skylar, are you ready to have the ride of your life!" She asks.

I nod.

Then, outta nowhere, a bright blue flash skims Strongarm's hood.

"What-Was-That?" I stutter.

"Probably just Bee's blaster." She replies bluntly.

"You guys have weapons?" I ask astonished.

She doesn't answer, instead we speed past the battling robots and out into the sunshine.

I cast a glance behind my shoulder.

Two mini robots were chasing after us.

"Scrap!" I hear Strongarm curse under her breath.

Suddenly, Strongarm jerks off the road and into the trees.

I grip the steering wheel.

Is this seriously how I'm gonna die?

As a pine tree finds itself in our path, I grip the wheel even tighter.

At the last minute, all the driving lessons come rushing back to me.

I pull the the right, just missing the tree.

"Phew!" I say, whiling the sweat from my brow.

"Watch it! I'm the one driving here!" Says an angry Strongarm.

"So? Where are we going?" I ask more briskly.

"I'm taking you back to the Scrapyard and then I'm going back to help Bee'." She replies in a steely voice, obviously getting the message that I would be the type of person that would tag along.

"Who's Bee'?" I ask "You've mentioned him quite a lot."

No answer.

I repeat my question.

"You'll find out soon enough." She replies in a gruff voice.

Great...

She drops me off at the front gate of the Scrapyard.

I step through the gate and I'm greeted by a small orange robot.

"Hello, Skylar! I'm Fixit! I'll show you around."

"How did you know my name?" I ask.

"Strongarm told me." Comes the reply.

I nod and we start off towards the neatly stacked shelves full of antiques.
