Michael wakes up from a knock on his door. He hears the voice and recognized it as his little sister, Aurora's voice.

Aurora: Michael, are you okay? It's 10 O'Clock.

Michael gets up. He looks at his mirror and sees he looks like shit. Messy hair, stinky smell of sweet, bloodshot eyes.

Michael: I'm fine, Aurora. I'll be there soon and get breakfast ready. Just need to take a bath.

Aurora: Ok. I'll let Vaughn and Murphy know.

Michael: Okay. *hears her walking away* Damn. What a night that was. And I didn't even drink or do drugs.

Michael gets up and goes to take a shower.

*later*

Michael prepared breakfast for his sisters as he eats with them. Aurora sees that somethings off about Michael. While he looks normal, his eyes are shaking, like he saw something that shook him to the core. Especially that he's really quiet, which is uncommon.

Not only her, but Murphy and Vaughn noticed to, despite their young age, which shouldn't be underestimated.

Aurora: Are you okay, Michael?

Michael: Hmm?

Aurora: You seemed awfully quiet today. Which is not like you at all.

Michael: Oh. I'm fine, Aurora. Just that...something came up.

Murphy: You need to talk about it?

Michael: No, Murphy. It's...it's complicated and I don't want you guys thinking I'm going crazy.

Vaughn: But, you are crazy.

The girls giggled as Michael deadpans.

Michael: Correction: Going Insane. Anyway, don't worry.

Murphy: Need to talk to mom and dad?

Michael: No, no. It's alright. We don't need them coming here as they're too busy with WWE.

Aurora: Okay. But if you have a problem, then don't be scared to talk to us, our parents, or your friends.

Michael: I'll keep that in mind, 'Rora. Thank you. Anyway, the babysitter will arrive soon, and I need to do something, I'll be back much later. Be good to her and don't cause trouble, okay.

They nodded as Michael stood and walks off.

Murphy: *whisper* I think we should call mom and dad.

Aurora: Maybe when Michael comes late, then we'll call them.

Vaughn nods in agreement.

*outside*

Michael is seen walking out as he sees the babysitter arrives.

Michael: Afternoon, Tania.

(Tania Gunadi. The voice actress of Miko Nakadai in Transformers Prime. Say what you want about Miko, but if Michael where to be in TFP, I bet he and Miko would get along pretty well.)

Tania: Afternoon, Michael-woah. Are you okay, Mike? You don't look good.

Michael: I'm fine, Tania. Just didn't sleep well last night.

Tania: Oh. Then, you could've just stayed asleep-

Michael: It's alright. I'll take a walk for now. See you later. *walks off*

Tania: Geez. What's gotten to him all of a sudden?

Tania enters the mansion and greets the sisters. As she closes the door, the motorcycle suddenly goes on and then...

Soon, it droves off and took to the left where Michael walked off.

*later*

Michael is seen walking down the streets as his mind was all over the place.

Michael: It's okay. She doesn't know. She doesn't suspect a thing. Sure, she chased me, but couldn't see my face or heard my voice. So, she'll think it was someone else and not me. But, still...WHAT THE FUCK DID I WITNESS LAST NIGHT?!

?: Michael?

Michael:

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Michael jumps back and turns to see who it was.

Michael: ...Shit.

Mikaela stares at him awkward silence as everyone stares at them.

Michael: H-hey, Mikaela. How are you?

Mikaela: I'm fine. But, what about you? You seemed to be put off by something.

Michael: Oh, I, uuh...had a rough night. Couldn't sleep for some reason.

Mikaela: Really? Are you sick?

Michael: No, I'm not. Don't worry. Just that I had a lot of stuff in my mind yesterday and it couldn't let me sleep.

Mikaela: I see. Then, why are you out here instead of sleeping? It's not good going out like that.

Michael: IIIIIIIII...just want to walk it off.

Mikaela: Okay. And your sisters?

Michael: The babysitter's watching them.

Mikaela: Oh, okay. But-

Michael: Is Trent bothering you?

Mikaela: No, but don't change the subject. I want you to be honest. Are you alright?

Michael looks at her eyes and sees she's genuinely wanting to help and that he's just pushing her away.

Michael: *sighs* No. To be frank, I'm not okay.

Mikaela: Good. You're being honest. What is going on?

Michael: I-

Michael stops and his eyes were widen as Mikaela turns. She sees his motorcycle being driven my a woman she never seen before.

Mikaela: Isn't that your bike? Who's riding it?

Michael: I need to go.

Mikaela: Wait-Michael?!

Michael runs off as Mikaela was confused. She then sees the woman driving his motorcycle speeding off, as if she was following him. She was confused by this and decides to see what's going on.

*with Michael*

Michael is seen running as he sees the woman and his motorcycle following him. He doesn't know who the woman is, but think's she's associated with the motorcycle in some way.

Michael: Stop! Stop following me!

Michael runs harder but the motorcyclist continues following him.

Biker: He's hightailing it.

?: Don't lose him. The Decepticons would reach him if he's unguarded.

Biker: On it.

*with Mikaela*

Mikaela gets on a moped motorcycle and drives off, planning of helping Michael. She was then stopped by a police car, as it quickly drives off.

Mikaela: Asshole...wait, isn't that the car that was parked near our school?

*with Michael*

Michael runs towards the bottom of a bridge as the biker follows him, closing in. Soon, me makes a quick turn and hid behind a truck. He sees the biker driving off, looking around for him before speeding away.

Michael sighed before hearing a police siren. He turns and sees a Police Car coming in.

Michael: Oh thank God. *runs* Hey! Officer! I need your help! I need your-

As he closes in on the car, the driver opens the door, smacking Michael as he goes down.

Michael: UGH! That hurt!

The driver closes the door as Michael stands up in front of the car and and leans over to the driver.

Michael: Officer! I had the worst day of my life! Last night, someone stole my motorcycle and took it to an abandoned factory! And now today, they're chasing me with my motorcycle all over the city! So please, help me!

The driver stares at him coldly until...

Michael: What the...

Suddenly, the car pushes forward, sending Michael down. Michael was panicking as she crawls back as he stares the car in fright.

Michael: Woah! Woah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry if I offended you! I-...where's the driver?

The driver suddenly disappeared as the car continues to move towards him on its own. Before Michael could think of any reason for this...

Michael was in disbelief. Standing before him was a giant robot that was the car in front of him.

(Meet Barricade. Also, this is concept art from the Last Knight that had his original head, but I edited to made it blue.)

Michael: Oh my God! Oh my God! OH MY FUCKING GOD!

Michael stands up and runs away while the giant robot chases after him. Michael turns and sees it easily closing in on him as he's bigger than him.

Michael: Shit, shit, shit, SHIIIIIIT!

Michael jumps onto a car and jumps away as the robot smashes its arm against it, destroying it. Michael continues running but the robot catches up to him and backhands him, sending him flying and screaming as he crashes on the windshield.

Michael groans as he coughs out blood from the impact before he was met with the giant robot as it grabs the car and leans down at him. Michael leans against the car, afraid and hurt.

Robot: Is your name Michael James Levesque?!

Michael: What?!

Robot: IS YOUR NAME MICHAEL JAMES LEVESQUE?!

Michael: Y-yeah?!

Robot: Where the glasses you took from Archibald Witwicky's home?!

Michael: What glasses?!

Robot: *shakes the car threateningly* WHERE ARE THE GLASSES?!

Michael stands up and jumps of the car as the robot tosses it away and pulls out a gun. He aims at Michael and fired. Michael managed to run from the exploding cars and others place the robot.

Mikaela is seen arriving at the bottom of the bridge, but saw the explosions and sees Michael running, with blood on his mouth. Mikaela was shocked to see Michael like that but she sees a giant robot coming out of the smoke.

Mikaela: Michael?!

Michael: Duck!

Michael jumps on her, wrapping his arms around her body, bringing her down. Soon, the robot fired, destroying Mikaela's Moped and sending them flying.

They landed on the floor with Michael having Mikaela on top of him as she gets up.

Mikaela: What the hell is going on Michael?!

Michael: No time to explain! Just run!

They got up and tried to run, until an explosion in front of them stops them. They turn and see the Giant Robot approaching them, it's heavy footsteps shaking the earth beneath them.

Mikaela: Oh my God!

Giant Robot: I'm going to ask again, and this time, I want answers!

He then pulls out a spinning blade weapon and aims it at the teens. Michael moves Mikaela behind him as he stares at the robot.

Robot: Where are the slagging glasses?!

Mikaela: What is he-

Michael: I don't have them! Why do you want them for, you Four Eyed bitch?!

Robot: Wrong answer!

Mikaela: Did you have to insult him?!

Michael: It was out of impulse!

The robot went for a strike as Michael and Mikaela cover themselves, bracing for the impact. Suddenly, a motorcycle jumps over then and strikes the robot, sending it down. It then lands in front of the teens as they realized it was Michael's motorcycle, but without the driver.

Motorcycle: Get on!

Mikaela: It spoke?!

Michael: No time for asking! Do what it said!

They hop onto of the motorcycle and sped away. The robot growls before transforming and chases after them. They speed out of there as the cop car follows them.

Mikaela: Crap! It's gaining on us! Can you go faster?!

Michael: No! I don't drive this bike!

Mikaela: Then who?!

Bike: Uh, I am.

Michael: I know that, but what the Hell's going on here?!

Bike: Can't say much right now, but that robot will stop at nothing once you give those glasses.

Michael: What?! Those old glasses I found?! How are they important to have me killed?!

Bike: You'll see, Michael. Just wait.

Mikaela: It knows your name?!

Michael: Yes and-Oh shit! Turn!

The police car tried to ram them down, but the bike make a quick turn, avoiding the collision. The cop car spun and resumes following them.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

They drive through the streets and side roads, trying to lose the cop car. Suddenly, it then unravels some missiles from its lights and fires at them.

Mikaela: Watch out!

They voiced the missiles as best they could.

I've got to, find a place
So I won't hide away

got to get away from a system lose in the world today

Michael: We need to find somewhere that we can't cause collateral damage!

Bike: On it, Michael! Hold on!

They make a sharp turn to an abandoned road as the cop car stops and speeds after them.

*later*

They arrive at the abandoned factory from last night as the bike makes a stop.

Bike: Get off and find somewhere to hide.

They get off as they look at the motorcycle.

Michael: Who...what are you?!

Bike: No time for introductions.

They turn to see the police car arrive and transform into its robot form.

Robot: Don't think you can protect them by yourself, Autobot! *brandishing his weapon*

Michael and Mikaela stepped back in fear until...

Michael: Woah.

Mikaela: Holy crap.

Arcee: Don't underestimate me, Barricade.

Michael and Mikaela ran off as the cop car, Barricade, and Arcee charged at each other with a battle cry and collided.

How's the chapter?

Been the longest one yet for this story.

Now, as for the holographic projections between Barricade and Arcee. These are what's most commonly called, Holoforms, basically Transformers making projects of themselves as humans to blend it and not rise suspicious.

After all, Robots in Disguise. Which I find it cool and an excuse to use humanized Transformers art.

Fun fact, in the TF IDW comics, there's one panel where Optimus Prime uses this method and his holoform resembles his voice actor, Peter Cullen.

And yep, Barricade Vs Arcee in the next chapter. I wonder if Michael and Mikaela would try to help them? After all, they humans. How could they help?...😉.
