Chapters "Canterlot city." A Shadowy Titan-like figure with glowing red eyes spoke as it look at a screen."This is the last place we have yet to search."
"Are you sure the Autobots are here commander?" A second titan spoke, which had a singular glowing eye."For all we know, they could no longer be on earth."
"Are you questioning my authority?" The commander spoke as the second Titan stepped back."Send some scouts into the city, find them and bring them to me." The commander demanded as the second titans left as another entered."What is it?" The Commander asked as the titan's face, which was a screen, showed a signal." A signal..from deep space?" The commander asked as the faceless Titan nodded."Ignore it, it's probably was a glitch."
---Canterlot, Flint Locke---
"Welcome to Hay Burger, where every burger is Hey-riffic." I said with a bored tone as I spoke into a mike."What will you be ordering?"
"I'll have three burger combos, with a side order of fries." The person said back as I typed in their order."Also where can I get an amazing job likes yours?" The person asked followed by laughter as I glared at the speaker.
"So that will be three combos of we're not as funny as we think we are.." I shot back."With a side order of bite me."
"What was that?" The person asked with an angry tone.
"Pull up to the window." I said annoyed as the person drove up as I placed the food on the window ledge as they grabbed it and drove."HEY, you're supposed to pay for that."I groaned as the people laughed as they sped off."I hate Monday's."
"Flint, go home." My manager said as I took my apron off."See you Thursday."
"Yeah, sure." I said as I left the restaurant and pulled my phone out to check the time."I have an hour left." I said as I looked at my arm.
"HEY FLINT!!!" A cheery voice shouted as a pink bundle of energy approached me."How are you?"
"I'm fine." I said nervously as the girl stared me."Can I help you Pinkie?"
"I'm setting up a summer kick off party this Friday and wanted to if you would come?" Pinkie asked handed me an invitation."I know you don't do well at parties, but will you please come to this one?"
"Sure." I said as Pinkie squealed and picked me as I felt my bones crack from her death hug."You're.....killing....me."
"Oops sorry." Pinkie said as she let go of me as I gasped for air."How's your arm doing?" She asked as I glared at her."Nevermind." She said running off.
"I wish people would stop asking." I said as I looked at my arm and the wires running through it.
---4 Years earlier---
~N.E.S.T facility~
"Welcome Agents." A scientist said as two agents walked in, one named Fowler and the other Spitfire."I assume your here to see Subject 17."
"Indeed." Agent fowler said as Spitfire crossed her arms."I assume you remember Agent Spitfire?"
"I do, you're the one who brought us 17." The scientist said as Spitfire glared."L-let's get going, shall we?"
"Please keep Your cool Spitfire." Fowler said as Spitfire sighed."I know it was hard for you."
"I haven't seen him in two years." Spitfire said sadly."He's probably some mindless robot now."
"He's not, I've spoken to him when I'm here, he's still the same kid." Fowler said as they followed the scientist."Minus him not having an arm and a leg."
"We are here." The scientist said as they entered a room."Subject 17 will be with us soon."
"He has a name." Spitfire said under her breath as the scientist left."I wish they'd use his name atleast."
"Can't argue there." Fowler said as they sat down."The time he's been here, the only thing that he hung onto was hope."
"That's Flint for ya." Spitfire said with a small smile."Crimson wanted to come, but he had to stay behind to keep an eye on Green Song. Kids have been bullying her at school again."
"She having trouble, due to being a changeling?" Fowler asked Spitfire nodded."I'm surprised you managed to keep your job a seceret from your family for so long."
"It was hard, I'll admit." Spitfire said sadly."But I just don't want...you-know-who coming after them."
"Who...Megatron?" Fowler asked surprised."He's been in deep space for the past twenty years or so, if he ever came back, we'd be ready."
"Sorry about the wait." The scientist said as he entered the room."17 was training, so we had to wait until he was finished."
"What kind of training?" Spitfire asked as Fowler crossed his arms."We never authorized any training Proto."
"Just some simple exercises to control his new cybernetic limbs." Proto said nervously as Spitfire glared at him."Acrobatics, aquatics....combat."
"COMBAT?!?!" Spitfire shouted in rage as the room got quite."He's twelve years old, he's too young to join the army."
"Not that kind of combat." Proto said as Fowler placed a hand on Spitfire's shoulder to calm her down."He's been training for in case the Decpticons ever returned."
"He's not supposed to know about them." Fowler said with a hint of anger."Have you mentioned this to him?"
"No, he never even asked either." Proto said as Spitfire calmed down."We can stop the combat training if you wish."
"Please do." Spitfire said as Proto nodded."Where is he, I want to see him."
"17 is waiting for you in the lobby, but however he cannot leave just yet." Proto said as they left the room."We need to finish one last thing until he can leave."
"And that is?" Fowler asked.
"To see if the disease is finally gone." Proto said with a stern tone."The disease he has was quite hard to find a cure for, when we did surgery the bones in his arm and leg were practally turning to dust."
"So, he has bionic limbs then?" Spitfire asked as the doctor nodded.
"Not just any bionic limbs, usually you'd have to see a doctor to get new one." Proto began as they entered the lobby."These are cybernetic limbs, they will grow as 17 grows older, they feel and look just like a normal limb would."
"Hi mom." A young voice called as Spitfire looked around and saw a young boy wave his hand, he had black hair and red eyes.
"And there he is." Proto said as the boy smiled."You remember your mother?"
"Of course." Flint said as he hugged Spitfire."I missed you."
"I missed you too kiddo." Spitfire said as Fowler sniffled."How soon can you get those test done?"
"It will take a couple minutes." Proto said as he pulled out a device and waved it over Flint as it beeped."Everything appears to be good, the disease cannot be detected, which means it is gone."
"So he can go home?" Spitfire asked as Proto nodded."You ready?"
"Please get me out of here." Flint said as the group laughed."Bye Mister Proto."
"Bye 17." Proto said as he smiled.
"My name's Flint." Flint called back.
---Present---
"I wonder how Protos doing?" I asked myself as I rode down the street as I noticed a yellow and black car in front my house."Oh Dad."
"Hey Flint." Crimson said as I rode up to the house."Look what I found at the junk yard."
"Mom is going to kill you." I said as I set my bike in the grass."Cool car anyway."
"Thanks, i saw it and the guy said he never saw it until then." Crimson said as he leaned on the car."He just gave it to me."
"Not surprised, junkyard Joe always liked you and mom." I said shrugging."Anyway, Mom home?"
"Yeah, she's inside, Your sister left earlier to go to Rainbows." Crimson said as he popped the hood open as I went inside."Ladies and Gentlemen the doctor is in. Now little laddie tell meh what's botherin' ya." Crimson said with a Scottish accent.
"Hey mom." I said as I entered the house." You see what dad brought home?"I asked as I heard mom talking on the phone.
"So you need to come back in?" Spitfire said as she talked on the phone as I walked past the kitchen."No, I haven't heard or seen anything from any of them.....I understand but I can't just leave, Crimson will want to know and I can't just lie and say it's business."
What's she talking about? I thought to myself as I walked to my room and got changed.
"You're starting to sound desperate William." Spitfire said smirking." I'm sure you can handle it without me." She said as her smirk quickly vanished."What do you mean 'they're back'?" Spitfire said worried as I sat in the living room."Are you positive?....They saw them with their own eyes?...I'll see you soon then." She said as she hung up as she spotted me."How much did you hear?"
"Not enough to know what's going on." I said as Spitfire sighed."Everything alright?"
"You remember Fowler?" Spitfire asked as I nodded."That was him, he needs some help with something, so I'll be gone for a few days."
"Okay." I said shrugging." If it's business, I'm staying out of it." I said as Spitfire smiled."Also, did you see what Dad brought home?"
"The car, I know." Spitfire said as a thud came from outside followed by some very 'colorful' language."I need to start packing, If your father asks, tell him and old friend needed some help."
"Well it's not lying." I said as I turned the tv on.
---???---
"The Autobot scout has been located." A car said as it watched Crimson fix his new car."But he is with a human, What are my orders commander Starscream?"
"Report back." Starscream said as the car drove off."Job well done."
"Do I have to go to school today?" My younger sister, Green Song asked as I slowly walked towards the kitchen yawning." Morning."
"I've talked to Principle Celestia about what's been going on, and she trying to stop it." Crimson said as I grabbed a bowl of cereal." Once school is out you won't have to worry about it." He said as I sat down." You were bullied, right Flint?"
"What I'll say won't help." I said as I took a bite.
"How'd you stop it?" Green Song asked as I smirked." What did you do?"
"I beat the guy down." I said bluntly." Mom wasn't to happy about that."
"Neither was I." Crimson said as I snickered." Anyway, hurry up you two, you'll be late."He said as he got up and left." I'll be in the garage if ya need me!" As he put in his earbuds which were blaring loud music.
"I would ask for your help, but it's Gilda and her group again." Green Song asked as I sighed." I never understood how you two were friends."
"Same here." I said crossing my arms.
--Sometime later--
"Three more days and then it's summer vacation." Green Song said excitedly as I rolled my eyes smirking."What do you have planned for the summer?"
"Might actually get a car or something." I said shrugging." If it's in my price range."
"Who knows maybe Dad can build you one." Green Song chuckled as she turned around and spotted something."Say, isn't that the same car that was in front of our house yesterday?"
"What are you talking about?" I questioned as she pointed towards the car as it sped off."You're right, it is."
"Maybe it was someone who decided to actually call someone to get rid of you pests." A raspy voice said as I groaned in annoyance."Or maybe your robotic freak of a brother."
"Well if isn't birds for brains." I said as turned to face the voice."What do you want Gilda?"
"Just making sure your sister here remembers her place." Gilda said as Green Song hid behind me as Gilda punched her fist into her hand.
"Leave her alone Gilda, she's done nothing to you." I said as Gilda smirked wickedly.
"She's a stupid changeling." Gilda said as she raised her voice catching other students attention."She needs to know her place."
"On who's terms?" I asked crossing my arms."And for your for information, she's only part changeling, and she more human then you could ever be."
"And that's coming from the cybernetic freak." Gilda said as I balled my hand into a fist as students gathered around."What is that thing even good for?"
"Come over here and find out." I said as Gilda smirked as she swung at me as I raised my arm to block as her hand connected with it, followed by a crack." That's what it's good for." I said as Gilda eyes widened in pain as she clutched her hand."Now, leave Green Song alone, or else."
"You'll regret this." Gilda said through clenched teeth."You and your sister."
"I'd like to see you try." I said as Gilda stormed off."If anyone asks, she swung first."
"You didn't even attack her." Green Song said as she stood in front of me."Thanks, by the way."
"No problem." I said shrugging as we entered the school."See you at lunch." I said as the bell rang.
--History--
"And that concludes the story of the civil war." Mr. Wingfeather, my history teacher said as he closed a book."Since Summer is right around the corner, I'm only giving you one assignment." Mr. Wingfeather spoke as the class groaned."Read a book about a subject we've gone over this year this summer, you don't have to finish it, heck, it doesn't have to be that long of a book, and that's it, don't bother writing up a book report because most of you will forget anyway."He said as he looked at the clock."That's all for today, you've got ten minutes, You can talk or do whatever."
"After school dweeb." Gilda said as I rolled my eyes noticing the bandage on her hand.
"I'm good." I said as I pulled out my notebook and start drawing."Just leave me be."
"You have no choice." Gilda said as I sighed."Plus, you won't be fighting me."
"Don't care." I said without looking at her."I have more important things to do anyway."
"If you don't, something bad will happen to your sister." Gilda said as I stopped drawing as she smirked. "Be there, or else."
"Or else what?" Mr. Wingfeather said as he stood next to Gilda as she gulped. "I'll have you know I have zero tolerance for threats made in my class especially against a close friend of mine's daughter."
"I was just messing around, right Flint." Gilda said as Mr. Wingfeather glanced as I rolled my eyes. "You're fu.."
"I suggest you pay a visit to the principle." Mr. Wingfeather said with a stern tone as he glared at Gilda. "Now." He said as Gilda huffed and left as the bell rang. "Enjoy your lunch and have a great summer!"
--Lunch--
"I bet she's going to get summer school or something." I said to Green song as we sat down."She brought it upon herself."
"Agreed." Green song said as she sighed."I wish people would just leave me alone."
"Same here." I said as I set my fork down."Atleast Sunset isn't going after you."
"She's my friend." Green song said as I chuckled." What's so funny?"
"You...friends with Sunset?" I asked as Green song nodded." Be careful around her."
"Why?" She asked.
"She's the reason everyone knows about this." I said as I raised my cybernetic arm. "She tried to blackmail me."
"She's changed." Green song said as I looked out the window."I understand what she did, but atleast forgive her."
"She pretty much ruined my chances of having a normal life and......" I trailed off as I noticed the same purple car from earlier." There's the same car again."
"Are they following us or something?" Green song asked as the car sped off." Should we call the police?"
"I'm going to say wait, they could be here for a different reason." I said as the bell rang." Meet me after school."
--???--
"Sure thing." Green song said as camara watched us as we got up.
"Which one is the the target?" A vehicon said as the camara watched Green Song.
"The girl, She was seen with the autobot Bumblebee." Starscream spoke as the camara deactivated."Bring her to me."
"Yes Commader." The vehicon said as it left.
"What is it Soundwave?" Starscream asked as the faceless titan walked in."Another signal?" Starscream asked as Soundwave nodded.
Guess it isn't a glitch." Starscream muttered." Very well, open the space bridge."
In earth's orbit, a giant metal circular objects center began to glow as a portal opened and a alien ship flew out of it as it transformed into a giant robot.
"DECPTICONS!!!!!!" The Titan shouted as it floated." I have returned!"
"What should we do?" Green Song asked as I leaned against the base of the Wondercolt statue.
"I say we take a different way home." I said as I peeked around the statue. "They could be looking for us still."
"What about the water trench?" Green Song asked as I looked at her confused. "You know, we used to take it as a short cut before mom and dad said we couldn't anymore."
"I remember." I said as we began walking. "But if we see that car again, Run." I said as Song nodded. "We better tell dad about this when we get home."
"So we should run now then?" Song asked as she pointed to the strange car as it parked across the street from us.
"I'll tell you when." I said as I picked up my pace as the car started following us. "Wait until we reach the alley."
"O-okay." Song said nervously as the car continued to follow us. "Flint?"
"Screw it, RUN!!!!" I shouted as we ran as fast we could as we heard screeching tires. "This way." I said as I pulled Green Song into the alley as another car appeared next to the first one. "There's two of them, Perfect." I muttered as one of the cars turned into the alley as the other one sped past.
"Why are they chasing us?" Green Song asked in fear as the car sped up.
"I don't know." I said as the spotted the second car turning into the alley in front of us blocking us. "Great."
"Any ideas?" Green Song asked as the two cars got closer. "You hear that?" She asked as revving sound was heard as a blue motorcycle drove over one of the cars.
"GET ON!!!" A Women shouted from the bike as it stopped in front of us. "NOW!!!!"
"I say we listen to talking bike." I said as we got on and the bike. "Now what?"
"Hang on." The bike said as it popped a wheelie and jumped over the same car as guns came out of the hood of the second car and bolts of energy started firing at us.
"Why are these guys shooting at us?"I asked as Green Song screamed
"There's no us kid." The bike said as we dodged rough traffic. "And they're no guys." The bike said as the cars chased us again as we got onto the highway.
"This is getting very dangerous." Green Song said as a bolt of energy flew past her head. "Too close." She said as one of the cars knocked a truck off the road. "These guys seem very eager to get us."
"Ya think?"I said as I spotted a familar black and yellow car appear behind one of the cars and smash into it. "Is that Dad's car?"
---Home--
"Don't worry Spitfire, the kids are fine."Crimson said as he entered the garage as he talked on the phone."They should be home so..."He trailed off as he noticed the car was gone."I'll call you back."Crimson said as he ended the call as he took a deep breath."FUUUUU--"
---Flint---
"Dad won't be happy about this."Green Song said as a scream of rage was heard."Yep."
"Friend of yours?" I asked as the bike turned into a building area of the highway.
"Family." The bike said as 'Dad's car followed us. "Hang on." The bike said as it zipped though construction cones and equipment as it drove through a wide gap in the cement wall as me and Green Song screamed as we landed on the hill below and landed in the drainage ditch.
"Think we lost them?" Green Song asked as we got off the bike as two sets off lights shone on top of the hill. "Guess not."
"You just had to ask." I said as the two sped down the hill and transformed into gaint robots.
"What the?" I began to say.
"Cars that turn into giant robots?" Green Song asked in fear as we backed away as the left hands on both titans turned into a weapon of some sort. "We should run." Green Song said as the bike transformed into a robot as well.
"It ends here Cons." The Robot said as her hands turned into blades as she charged the two titans.
"Through here." I said as I pulled Green Song towards a drainage pipe as one of the titans spotted us and started firing at us. "WE DON'T EVEN KNOW HER!!!!!"I shouted as 'Dad's car' drove off the highway and transformed into a black and yellow robot and landed on the Titan shooting at us a punched the second one.
"Thanks." Green Song said as yellow and black robot nodded as it was tackled by the Titan it punched. "Let's go."
"Good idea." I said as we ran into the pipe as one of titans tried to grab us. "Don't look back."
"About time you showed up bee." The blue robot said as bee fought one of the titans as a honking was heard and a green jeep drove towards them and transformed in a giant green robot.
"Who's ready to rumble?!" The green robot spoke as the two titans glanced at each other before transforming back into cars a driving off.
"What took ya?" The blue robot asked as bee collapsed.
"Traffic." The green robot groaned.
---Flint---
"So how are we going to explain this to dad?" Green Song asked as we walked home.
"I don't think we should tell him." I said as Green Song looked at me shocked. "So guess what dad, your car is actually a robot in disguise, and we were almost killed by two other robots, while your car and another robot that was a motorcycle saved us."
"Yeah, we shouldn't say anything." Green Song said as I sighed. "Great way to start off summer huh?"
---???---
"I would have stopped them if it wasn't for the humans." The blue robot spoke as a red and blue Titan listened as it looked at screen.
"Humans?" The Titan asked as bee made some buzzing noises as it raised two metal fingers."Two humans?"
"One of them looked like a changeling, the other one looked human." The blue one spoke as she crossed her arms."Was a little busy at the time."
"If the Decpticons are indeed searching for us, any human seen with us, could be seen as an ally."The Titan spoke."Thank you for bringing this to my attention Arcee."
"No problem." Arcee spoke before walking off.
