I watched as everyone ran out of the building, which was a good note on my part. When the coast was clear, I ran towards my locker. When I reached the locker room, I opened mine, taking out my messenger bag and ran towards a different exit that was a shortcut to the back of the building. When I made it out, I started changing my clothes.

3rd pov

While you were doing that, the authorities and civilians witnessed the specimen that crashed out of the building. A yellow car pulled up to the scene and a blond man, in a police uniform, stepped out. He groaned, "This is why I hate machines." He pulled out a megaphone. "Testing, 1-" He said into it, but all it gave was feedback. "Will someone give me a blowhorn that works for crying out loud!" He shouted, swinging it up in the air and bringing it down on the hood of his car.

A S.W.A.T. team member brings one up to him. Fanzone throws the one he had behind him and snatches the other from the S.W.A.T. guy. "All right, S.W.A.T. Units, drive that thing AWAY from civilians! Emergency Crews let's get those people evacuated NOW! GO! GO! GO!" He said in the new megaphone. Some of the S.W.A.T. team rushed to the front line and started shooting at the monster.

But it didn't take any damage.

It roared as it used one of its tendrils to swat them away and grab one of the police cars as another did the same, putting them both inside of its body.

Meanwhile, the firefighters were getting everyone they could find out of the building. Two firefighters helped the last person, that they found, out of the building, but Isaac was struggling to get out of their grip. "But my daughters are still in there! SARI! Y/N!" He shouted for them.

Back in the destroyed assembly line, Sari was looking for Sparkplug. "Sparkplug! Sparkplug! Here Sparky! I got a nice, tasty, security key for you!" She called out, even attempting to lure him out.

Back outside, the firetrucks were spraying the monster with water, but it didn't do anything to it. The monster used two of its tendrils to pick up two firetrucks, putting it inside itself as the firefighters ran away. "Bring out the big guns!" Captain Fanzone ordered through the megaphone.

Four S.W.A.T. soldiers were lined up in front of Fanzone, equipped with bazookas. "On my signal." He instructed. "Captain Fanzone, wait! You don't want to attack this creature." Isaac tried to warn. "Watch me." Fanzone said.

"FIRE!" He exclaimed.

The soldiers fired at it in unison. The armor-piercing rockets went into the monster, and for a second, nothing happened. But then, some parts of its body inflated before its body exploded, making its chunks be rain. Fanzone laughed in victory. "Smart bombs, they really pack a punch." He muttered to himself. But a piece landed on his head, making him groan.

The civilians cheered; the danger was over. At least... that's what they thought. The chunks started coming back together like a Lego build but with sludge. A small piece of it fell into the water, heading towards something that is hidden deep in Lake Erie.

Y/n's pov

I finally got my suit on. "I can't believe I had to do that for about 3 minutes, author! ...'For plot reasons'? Seriously? ...Oh, right people to save." I said as I web shot myself up to the roof. When I did, I see what looks like a giant bug with a horrible disease. "Geez, guess that experiment failed." I said, now knowing how this happened.

I shot a string of web at a sheet of metal and used it to hit the monster in the face. It turned its attention to me. "Let's dance, Slugroach." And the fight began.

3rd pov

Meanwhile, a certain group of bots finally woke up from stasis. Optimus Prime walked out with a slight helmache, so did the others. "How long have we been in stasis?" Optimus asked. "And what's with the alarm?" Bumblebee added. That's when a noise caught Prowl's attention, making him look behind himself. That when he saw some sludge moving and entering the room. "Probably something to do with-" Prowl started but the sludge lunged at him, wrapping around his right servo to his right forearm. Prowl tried to get off, but it wouldn't move.

That was until Ratchet used his electromagnet to get it off. "Whatever it is, it definitely got circuitry. And... something else." Ratchet informed as Optimus walked over to the main control panel, pressing a button. "Teletraan-1, scan the area. See what's going on out there." He requested, pressing a couple more buttons.

Teletraan-1 sent out a satellite to record what's happening on land. ":Scanning...:" Teletraan-1 said, giving a live-feed on what's happening.

On the screen, it shows a giant monster, absorbing nearby vehicles and fighting a tiny thing, who seems like they're loosing. "Looks like those guys could use some help." Bumblebee said as they continued to watch. "Even so, we don't want to attract attention in case the Decepticons are still out there watching." Optimus said. He pressed a button. "Teletraan-1, scan the local life-forms. We can take on their appearance and blend in better." Optimus requested.

The little satellite started scanning the five different vehicles, unnoticed by the people. A big tube rose from the floor, and one by one, each bot when it and out. "Autobots, transform and roll out!" Optimus ordered. The five of them transformed into their vehicle modes. Optimus Prime is a firetruck, Prowl is a motorcycle, Ratchet is an ambulance, Bulkhead is a S.W.A.T. van, and Bumblebee is Captain Fanzone's car.

"Not bad, huh?"

"Sweet!"

"Impressive."

"Roomy."

"*sigh* It'll do."

The door opened up and they drove out of the room, except for Ratchet. "Aren't you coming, Docbot?" Bee asked. "Someone's gotta analyze this thing. Besides, who needs a bot with 'one servo in the scrapheap'?" Ratchet rhetorically asked, bringing up something Bumblebee said a long time ago.

"Not gonna let that go, are you?"

"...No."

Bumblebee didn't say anything as he left.

Back on land

The people ran away either on foot or in vehicles as the monster was causing destruction and fighting you. "All units, fall back! We will engage with unmanned drones only!" Fanzone ordered as the civilians left and as the Autobots arrived at the scene.

"Greetings, fellow bots! We are here to help." Optimus greeted. Prowl was about to say something, but a tendril smashed the ground in front of them as a pained grunt was heard from under it.

The tendril lifted up, revealing Evergreen Widow, but she heavily injured. She shakily got up, legs wobbling. Your mask copied your eyes as they widened when you felt something coming up your throat. You lifted your mask and covered your mouth with your forearm, coughing into it. You moved it away from your face to see that you had just coughed up some blood as you lowered your mask back into place as you glared up at the beast. "WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU GOT? I'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN TO FIGHT!" You shouted out to it. If looks could kill, it would've disintegrated right then and there.

As you were about to fire a web; you heard a voice behind you. "Do not engage that thing yet. Keep your scanners peeled for Decepticons." It said. 'What the hell was that? And what's a Decepticon?' You asked in your head. You looked behind you to see three cars and a motorcycle, but the motorcycle didn't have anyone on it. You looked at the firetruck as the scanners in your mask didn't sense anyone through the tinted window. "I either took too many hits or did that truck actually just sp-" You said before you were wacked away by a tendril into a wall. "Ugh, fuck." You said, wincing in pain before shaking your head to get rid of the dizzy feeling and headed back into battle.

That's when the drones came in, shooting the monster. "If those are Decepticons, we've go nothing to worry about." Bumblebee stated.

"What do those Cowboys think they're doing down there?!" Fanzone rhetorically asked. He grabbed his walkie-talkie, "You four! What part of 'fall back' did you not understand?" He asked. He raised his binoculars and looked through them. "Who are those guys? I want their names, I want their badges, I want thei- Hey, where are the drivers?" He said, noticing that there is no one driving them. That's when he noticed something in particular.

"HOW IS MY CAR DRIVING ITSELF?!"

Bulkhead was driving forward when a tendril grabbed him. He struggled to get out of its grip when he noticed one of the drones. "Any of you little bots know what this thing is? Or how to get it off me?" Bulkhead asked. He got no response. Bumblebee drove into the tendril, breaking it off. "Can anybody talk on this planet?!" Bumblebee asked, feeling aggravated.

Sari was chasing after Sparkplug, who has her security card in its mouth. "Sparkplug!" She exclaimed as she caught up to Sparkplug. "Let. Go!" She said, now having a tug-of-war with Sparkplug. "What is that thing?" Bulkhead asked. "Must be some kind of pet?" Bumblebee said, unsure himself. "Why would the four-legged bot want a pet that big?" Bulkhead questioned. The both of them dodged an attack from the monster behind them.

The both of them drove up to Sari as Sparkplug lets go of the card and runs off. "Hi, little creature! My name's Bulkhead. Did you loose your owner-bot?" Bulkhead asked, cooing Sari. But that had the opposite effect on her, for she screamed at the top of her lungs in fright. "That thing must be armed with some kind of high-frequency sonic weapon." Bee guessed. Sari continued to scream as she ran off.

"I think it's scared." Bulkhead whispers to his buddy.

"Don't worry, little creature, I'm not gonna hurt ya." Bulkhead said, trying to calm her down as he drove after her. She accidentally ran into one of the monsters' tendrils, which wrapped around her and lifted her up into the air. She tried to get out of its grasp, but nothing worked. "But that thing might!" Bee stated as Sari continued to scream bloody murder.

The screaming caught your attention. You turned your head to see Sari in the grasp of the monster. "SARI!" You shouted, before having a tendril wrap around you, lifting you into the air. But this time, it was squeezing the life out of you, making you scream in pain.

Optimus and Prowl drove up next to Bulkhead and Bumblebee as Sari continued to scream and your vision was starting to go dark. "What are those things?" Prowl asked. "Whatever they are, they need our help. Autobots, transform!" Optimus commanded.

The five of them transformed back into robot mode. Meanwhile, everyone behind them, minus Isaac, had their eyes widened and mouth agape in shock. The reason why Isaac Sumdac wasn't is because he was using binoculars seeing that his youngest daughter was up there. "Sari! That's my daughter! Captain Fanzone, you must send someone in to rescue my-" Isaac pleaded but was interrupted by Fanzone putting his hand on the top of his head and made him look at what's right in front of them, making him have the same expression as well.

Sari continues to scream but stops as she notices the Autobots. "Cool," she said as Optimus took out his axe. The four of them charged the monster. "Autobots, ATTACK!" Optimus commanded as he activated his face mask, covering only his mouth.

Each of them attacked the monster, but when Bulkhead used his wrecking-ball to hit the monster in the face, it made the monster release both you and Sari. Before Sari could hit the ground, she was caught by Bumblebee, and he ran off with her. "Hi, I'm Bumblebee." He introduced. "I'm Sari." She said. "Oh, don't be. I like my name." He said, misunderstanding what she meant. "No, I mean my name is... What are you?" She asked. "I'm an Autobot." He said, explaining somethings.

Meanwhile, the crowd were watching from afar. "One of yours?" Fanzone asked. Isaac shook his head, "No. But there is something oddly familiar about them." He calmly said. "Not familiar enough to take any chances with one of your kids." Fanzone stated. He pulled out his walkie-talkie, "All drone units, engage the yellow robot, but don't harm the girl." He ordered. The drones flew in and he tried to swat them away.

Before that, as you fell, Optimus caught you and was bringing you to a place where you could be out of harm's way. You opened your eyes, but they were strained from the sun above, but you saw a shadowy figure. "Is it my time, angel?" You asked. "Uh... time for what?" Optimus asked, moving his head to block the light. You realized your mistake. You blushed out of embarrassment, but good thing that you had a mask on. "Oh, sorry, I thought I was dead or something..." You said. There was an awkward silence as he set you down in an alleyway.

"Bossbot! I kinda have a problem!" Bulkhead shout from far away, which broke the tension between the two of you. "Gotta go." Optimus said before running back into battle.

(Time-skip after battle)

Y/n's pov

After getting back in work clothes, patching myself up, and taking a heavy amount of painkillers, I went back and saw that these giant robots were about to leave. I saw Sari running towards the yellow one, who is now a vehicle. I ran after her, seeing her having a conversation with him. "Sari, take it easy! My friend's hurt real bad. I have to go." The bot said. Sari got into the robot, but after a short while, the robot transformed his door into his arm and pulled her out and dropped her. But the Sari tried to get back in through the open window.

"Sari!" I exclaimed in a hushed tone. "Y/n! Come on! Help me convince him!" She said. "I said 'roll out' Bumblebee!" The bot that saved me exclaimed. "You can trust this face, can't you?" Sari asked in a whisper. "Just keep out of sight until I can explain. And don't touch anything." The yellow one said.

"Y/n! Come on!" She said as she grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the car. "YES! I mean, yes!" She shouted, before whispering. "So, who is this, Sari?" I asked. "This is Bumblebee, he saved me from falling." She explained. "Well, that's an interesting first meeting you two must've had." I said.

Bumblebee then drove into Lake Erie. "Um, are we gonna be able to breathe down here?" I asked. "Oh, sure. ...What's 'breathe'?" Bee asked. 'We're gonna die' I thought to myself. I then see that Bee drove into this ship, and honestly, I am amazed!

(Time-skip)

Bumblebee drove into this room, which looks like a med-bay, and see another robot. "Is he gonna... go offline?" He asked. "Well, he's not quite ready to join the Well of Allsparks, if you know what I mean." The new bot explained, who sounds like an old man who's served in the war.

I see that Sari was trying to get a closer look. "Sari!" I exclaimed in a hushed tone, trying to pull her back. "But I want to see what's happening!" Sari said in protest. "Well, I can, and it looks like it's not going well. Now sit your butt back down!" I said, pushing her back into her seat. Then the seat that Sari was in leaned backwards, and she was buckled into place. "Will you keep it down?!" Bee asked aloud. "I saw that the rest of them had their attention on us, mainly Bumblebee. "Will you keep down... loading... information? You know, to... help fix Prowl?" Bee nervously said.

"That nanobot creature scramble your circuits?" The big, army-green one asked. Sari kicked the door to her side open as she tried to get the seatbelt off. "NO!" Bumblebee shouted. I can see that the others are starting to get concerned and suspicious. Bee closed the door. "No, my circuits didn't get scrambled. Thanks for asking." Bee said. Me and him tried to get Sari to stop, but it was just making the situation worse.

"Is everything all right, Bumblebee?" The blue and red bot, from before, asked. Sari slipped out of the seatbelt and accidentally slammed into the steering wheel. "Well, I guess we're screwed." I said, my knees held up to my chest, arms wrapped around my legs, rocking back and forth in my seat.

"Sari!" Bee exclaimed, before turning back to the others, who were covering their audio receptors. "Sorry, I must've had bad oil." Bee apologized. "Bumblebee, will put a muffler on it and transform into robot mode?" The blue and red bot asked. 'Welp, we're doomed' I thought. "Right... robot mode." Bee said, before driving down the hallway and tossed us in an air vent.

We slid down until we fell into a storage room of some sort. We got up and a glowing, blue light caught our attention. "Whoa!" I said, amazed by the sight. The both of us were then scanned by the thing and I felt information being put into my head and information being taken out. The glowing light deceased, leaving me with a slight headache. "Kay... That was weird. Did we just have a conversation?" Sari questioned, somehow unscathed. "You're telling me." I said as I rubbed my temples.

Then a ray of blue light shoots out towards the both of us, one going to Sari's keycard and the other going into my chest, making me scream in pain. It felt like my body had cramps while getting electrocuted. The light disappeared and I fell to ground, huddling into a fetus position, crying in pain, wondering why this always happens to me, and Sari's keycard turned into a big, strange key.

"If you messed this up, you own me my security deposit." Sari said to the box. The both of us were picked up by Optimus Prime. 'Wait... how did I know his name?' I thought to myself. "How did you two get aboard this ship?" He asked. Bumblebee came out from behind him. "It followed me home and brought a friend. ...Can I keep them?" Bee asked. "Hey! We're not 'it's', we're 'she's'!" Sari corrected, crossing her arms. "So, I suppose you have an explanation?" Optimus questioned. "Yeah, actually, I'm narrowing it down to my top 5." Bee said.

"I'm just gonna take a nap." I said, instantly blacking out.

---

After some time, I got woken up by a bright light. I opened my eyes to see that we're in the med-bay, and sari was right next to the bot, Prowl I think, on the table, but he was fully healed.

He sat up, shaking a bit as Ratchet was staring in shock. 'Again, how do I know their names?' I asked myself. "That is... quite the cure." Prowl said. Meanwhile, every Cybertronian in the room was either amazed, shocked, or both. "Can all 'she's' do that?" Bumblebee asked. "Nope." I said. "I don't even know how I did that." Sari stated.

Optimus just sighed, shaking his head. "At this point, nothing surprises me. I've seen more action in this one solar cycle than my entire Cybertron Service career." He said. "Solar cycle's not over yet." Ratchet said, turning his helm to the monitor. I take a look at it to see that it's nighttime and there are drones searching. "I think our dad's looking for us." Sari said. "You can say that again." I sighed.

---

The five Autobots drove up out of Lake Erie. Ratchet came to a stop, letting me and Sari hop out. When we got out, the door closed, and he transformed into robot mode. "Don't worry, humans don't usually blow-up things with those symbols on the side." Sari explained. "Plus, it kinda matches up with the things you do, heal people and help them get better." I added. "Really? And here I thought that they made me an easier target." He said, relief washing over him.

The police cars, S.W.A.T. vans, firetrucks, ambulances, and etc. lit up their headlights, which caused my headache to get worse. "Put your hands where I can see 'em!" Captain Fanzone shouted through the megaphone, making my head hurt even more. Bumblebee went down to our height. "Why do they want us to do that?" He asked. "I don't know. I think it makes you less scary or something?" Sari explained, unsure herself. "No, it's to make sure they don't get anything dangerous in their servos. ...How do I know what a servo is?" I explained before asking myself as the Autobots put their servos in the air, which didn't make them less scary. Because of that, the police officers and S.W.A.T. units ready their loaded guns.

"It's okay! They're friendly!" I shouted. "Well, except for the red and white one, he's kinda grumpy! But other than that!" Sari added. You gave her a 'really' expression. Dad immediately ran out of the crowd towards us. "Sari! Y/n! Thank goodness you both are okay!" He exclaimed, giving us a group hug. "It's okay guys, you can put your servos down." I said to them. All five of them lowered their servos. Dad pulled away from the hug.

"So, can we keep 'em?" Sari asked with a cheeky smile.

(Time-skip)

It was the next day, and the Autobots were on stage with Isaac Sumdac and Evergreen Widow. "I want to thank the Autobots, and extend a hand of friendship from the entire human race and Evergreen Widow to Optimus Prime; the Leader of this new and brave band of heroes." Isaac said into the microphone. Both you and your father shook hands with Optimus, making everyone cheer.

"And to think Ultra Magnus told me 'not to be a hero'. Is this what it was like in your day?" I heard Optimus asked Ratchet. "The Decepticons didn't leave us very much to cheer about." Ratchet stated.

3rd pov

It was finally the end of the day, and let me just say, you were exhausted. You did what you normally do when you get ready for bed. After that, you shut off all the lights in your lab, kitchen, bathroom, etc. You finally reached your bedroom and turned off the lights, walking over to your bed, lifting the covers and went to sleep. What you didn't know is that something is happening to you, slowly as time goes on.
