Chapter One

It was another normal sunset over Mission City, the streets still busy, the traffic pacing and halting, works men and women scurrying among the tourist that have come to visit the hectic American city. All seemed right and in order, even down to a little corner coffee bar that lived amongst all the towering skyscrapers and other battling businesses…all seemed normal…but also boring to the young woman who sat within the café, sipping her all too usual latte and occasionally biting into her blueberry muffin.

Surfing the web for the latest information on technology, Lucia Patchman; a 24 year old recent Computer Science graduate from Mission City University, was very familiar with the current occurrence that thrived within the city…and frankly was getting pretty tired of it. The poor brunette has done nothing but repair electronics since she graduated. Sure it put bread on the table and she was working with equipment she loved, but this really wasn't what she had in mind.

By now she was hoping to have moved out of the city and work for some major company out there, such as Apple or even better NASA, though it would seem fate had different plans, not that she believed in destiny and any other balls.

It seemed the World Wide Web had nothing new to offer the young woman, so with a final much on her muffin and gulp of her drink, she decided to start packing up.

"Lucy! Going already?" asked the waiter cleaning up a nearby table

"Yeah, sorry Max, I'm just abit tired and all, but the latte and muffin were great as always." She smiled to the older waiter who she had befriended since moving into the city nearly 6 years ago

"Ok darling, take care ok?" Max far welled politely and continued his duty of cleaning into the kitchen.

"Six years…has it really been that long?" Lucy thought to herself, just about ready to shut down her laptop when all of a sudden…

A huge explosion zoomed down the street shattering the glass windows of the café, knocking Lucy clean of her stall and onto the hard floor. After a few moments she opened her eyes to be greeted to the sight of dust and glass all over the place, practically every piece of furniture within the café was now tipped and littered all over the place. A high pitch ringing noise could be heard, no doubt from the tremendously loud explosion that only occurred a few moments ago. The noise soon cleared and was replaced with the screams of the many beings in Mission City. When she finally thought her heard was no longer spinning, Lucy slowly sat herself up trying to take in the information that just occurred.

"A terrorist attack?" she thought as customers of the café began to retreat from the site, she couldn't believe what happened, and it completely knocked the soul right out of her. She remained in the spot for a few more moments until another explosion was heard, pushing her soul right back into her and reality. She quickly gazed around the broken café to find she was the only one there, with no doubt she knew it was time she left the site to.

Getting up as quick as she could, receiving a few cuts on her legs and hands from the many shards of glass that surrounded her. From the corner of her eye she sees her bag and laptop still functioning and by some miracle barely had a scratch on. In a situation like this most people would have forgotten and dumped their personal belongings, but Lucy worked so hard and spent to much money on this piece of machine, she would be damned to leave it behind for some looters to later retrieve it for themselves.

Just as quick as she reached and received back her belongs, two rockets could clearly be heard fly down the next street, on eruption causing the ground to shake…she had to get out of here now. With no second thoughts she sprinted her way out of the café and down the now cracked and littered streets.

"Oh why did I park my car so far away?" She scowled herself, it was easily a ten minute walk from the café, but if she kept up her current fast and fearful pace she hoped to do it in three, but that was pushing it, she was always the nerd type not the jock, so running really didn't fit her criteria. Trying to run as fast as she could, not paying attention to the broken streets that surround her, Lucy refused to stop for anyone or anything, or so she thought.

Upon arrival on the next street she could not believe her eyes…there stood before her were four giant mechanical creatures, ripping and shooting at each other. She truly couldn't believe what she was seeing, she wanted to scream and run but she simple could not glance away. Without any thought she reopened her laptop and began recording the fiasco that took place right in front of her.

With closer inspection, it seemed that three of the machines were fighting against the other much intimidating looking one, which now seemed to miss an arm. Lucy, still in a complete trance of what was happening before her, continued to film the event until the lone machine was thrown practically over her head, snapping Lucy back to reality and returning to her journey of finding her car.

"Oh shit! Oh shit!" She panted as she ran with her laptop still recording "Oh shit, shit wows! What the fuck?" She honestly couldn't believe what was happening and failed to keep her emotions and language at bay.

She was nearly over half way there when two more of the mechs appeared in front of her. Cowering behind the closest object, being a car, her recordings continued but her fear was greater due the size of one of the monsters that towered in front of her. He was a huge broad grey machine, whose body looked as if it would slice right through flesh upon a gently touch, she also noted his big gleaming blood coloured optics, which study and frowned at the other bot on the scene.

"It's over Autobot! You can not defeat me! I would strongly suggest retreat!" The huge mech growled at the smaller one, who seemed not intimidated at all

"In your dreams Decepticreep!" The smaller mech bravely answered upon a pounce onto the bigger mech. The much bigger bot proved size did matter as with no effort at all he carried the smaller one into the sky and out of range, leaving Lucy alone once again with nothing but the noises of explosions taking place around her, she knew there was no time to think thus continuing her trip to her one way ticket out of here.

Upon late arrival Optimus Prime finally arrived at the battle scene after his brawl with the Decepticon; Bonecrusher. Observing the chaos around him, he finally made eye contact with the mech he wanted…The Decepticon leader; Megatron.

"Megatron!" Prime roared at his foe taken note of his fallen comrade Jazz in the beast hand, who was now split in two, "Jazz, your death will not be in vain" Optimus vowed to himself

"Prime!" Megatron answered back tossing away that useless excuse of a mech and then transforming into his Cybertronian jet form, scooping Prime along with him.

Through the streets Megatron dragged Prime and before long hurdle them threw an entire office building, which imploded with glass, furniture and stone on to the streets below, not long after the two giant beings also crashed landed onto the Mission City streets where the true fight began.

After a many few fists to each other, neither of the two Cybertronian's showed any signs of quitting…this was it…this was their final battle.

"I will stop you Megatron!" Prime screamed at Megatron, he could not allow him to get the Alspark and destroy this planet which he vowed to protect, especially the two teens; Sam and Mikaela. Optimus threw more punches into Megatron "I won't let you destroy this planet!"

Megatron growled at Primes remark "Your so weak Prime! You were always weak! What significance does this planet hold to you? There is nothing but pathetic primitive insects that roam it!" Megatron went in for another hit but Prime was able to avoid and got a lucky shot right into Megatrons face.

Falling back and nearly cascading to the city below, Megatron quickly regained himself and shot at Prime with his Fusion Cannon, the blast so powerful that the beam plummeted Prime into a near building, destroying yet another land mark.

For the very short moment he had Prime quickly regained his breath and tried to return on his own two feet for a second wielding with Megatron "I have got to win this…I can't lose."

Megatron looked upon his failing enemy, he knew he could win this but time was not on his side, that Witwicky boy had the All Spark, he must retrieve it from him at all cost. Focusing his optics, he quickly scanned the city and soon came in contact with other Autobots, which then lead him to the target in mind. With no hesitation he transformed and pursued his prey.

"Boy! Give me the All Spark!" He thundered through the city

Sam never thought it was possible for him to run so fast and so far in such a short space of time, but once he heard Megatron's voice calling for him to hand the All Spark over he knew more than ever he needed to run faster. Cruising through the traffic that was currently trying to escape the chaos that took place in their city, he knew his destination was close and he could hand the All Spark over to someone who knew what to do.

"Why me?" Sam thought "Out of all the people in the world it had to be me, Sam Witwicky to get hold of an alien artefact" he knew this was no time for this but zigzagging through traffic really brought the thought to mind "All I ever wanted was a normal life, college, cool car, girl of my dre-" SLAM!

A SUV slammed into Sam making the poor unexpecting teen drop the All Spark in the process. Without even a second thought on his condition and his past thoughts Sam revived himself quicker than he fell, for he knew his mission was near success, he just needed to go a little further.

Megatron was getting very tiresome of this game, "I will not be beaten by a Fleshling! I refuse!" he roared, spotting Sam run into a nearby abandon building "You think a pathetic land mark will shelter you for me?" The stupid fleshling was practically handing victory over to him, it was so close all he has to do is to keep intimidating the little creature and in his fear he will hand over the prize.

The gigantic mech roared through the building, tearing it down like paper, but Sam continued in his strides, he was so close all he had to do was make it to the top…

After the longest sprint she ever has and planned on doing, Lucy finally meet her car in the car park. It took longer than planned but the distractions on the bots seemed like a very reasonable excuse. She still couldn't believe what was going on her head was spiralling with questions and even possible answers, but they will have to wait, after that sprint to get to the car to get out alive seemed like top priority. With the start of the engine, she immediately head to leave, but suddenly a shining light came from the slightly outer depths of the city from whence she came

"What is that?" she pondered at the bright light in the sky,

It was beautiful, yet there was something mysterious even horrifying about it, she was completed in trance with it. After that long sprint she found herself giving into her curiosity and taking her laptop out of the car with her. Pointing the webcam towards the scene she slowly began to walk towards the area from where the light came from.

Moments before all seemed to get lost and gained, Sam went from being at the top of the building so close to handing the All Spark over, to then tumberling to ground far below to then be saved by Optimus and now in horror watched as the two mighty leaders fight it out, destroying each other and their surroundings. Sam was ordered by Optimus to place the All Spark into him if all hope was lost, Sam didn't, no, couldn't do that, If Optimus died the earth would be doomed to crumble and suffer under Megatrons wrath, with no All Spark his fury will surely rage amongst the universe. There would be no one to stop him.

It seemed Sam had little choice, Optimus was losing. The poor bot was getting bashed and beaten around the city like a doll; it was painful for Sam to watch. The Earths only hope and his friend was losing to the devil, Sam knew he had to fulfil Optimus's request, for if he didn't his death would be in vain

Sam collected his courage and was ready to charge out of the shelter in which Optimus told him to hide in; fortunately fate was on his side. As Megatron was throwing his winning moves many rockets from air support fired onto him along with Lennox's troops firing continually at him. Distracting and damaging the bot was successful as the rockets tour through his armour and engulfed a larger wound onto his chest. Optimus seized this last opportunity to defeat Megatron once and for all. With the last of his strength Optimus gave Megatron his last few effective beatings and within a few the mighty Decepticon feel onto the floor, Optimus soon joined him, the last of his strength vanished. Within the corner of his optics he notices his human friend Sam sprinting towards the site with the cube within his grasps.

"Sam! Destroy the cube! Do it now!" Optimus demanded, the end was nigh for him and the All Spark but at least Megatron would not win

Sam hearing the demand that the Autobot Leader gave him refused his offer, there was another way and it was laying right before him…Megatron. Except for giving the Cube to Optimus, he decided to give Megatron his prize, but not how he would want it. Sam charged past Optimus, leaving the bot confused, the other bot Megatron did not see what was coming until it was too late. As Sam would have done to Prime he lounged and pushed the All Spark into Megatrons open chest wound. A bright light conquered the bot and soon the city exploding its source all over, knocking many of objects afar.

The pain was unreal; he couldn't believe that a great warrior like him was to be defeated by a mere insect. As the All Spark pulsed through his metal structure, Megatron saw the end of his life coming; he didn't want that…he couldn't allow it! Before the end, he somehow managed to extract a small speck of his Spark into the atmosphere, he didn't have a lot of time before deaths door fully opened, he needed a shell and he needed it now!

The light was taking over along with a very strong wind; Lucy doubted her web camera was picking anything up at all. Trying to steady herself on the ground, she really didn't know what was happening.

"A bomb?" She thought though she felt no pain and no real damage was happening to the surroundings other than getting blown over and the remaining windows smashing.

She was trying so hard not to get blown over, putting as much weight as she could on her feet and trying her best to hold the laptop steady, she could feel herself get pulled along the ground. It was then a huge shock hit her hands where they held onto her machine, she was no longer being pulled but pushed of her feet by an unknown force. Before she knew it she landed a few feet on her back from where she came.

"Ouch…" She thought as she laid there for a few moments taking in all that had just happened. Everything around her was so quite and tranquil; it was terrifyingly different from what a few moments ago, though she used this moment to regain her breath which was completely knocked out of her.

After a few moments she sat herself up looking around the barren city, there was nothing, the light disappeared and only dust remained with the broken streets and buildings. She soon noted her laptop was still safe and secured in her hands, though now only static filled the screen.

"Damn!" She thought "Though at least its nothing I can't fix." She pondered; she focused on a faint reflection of herself within the screen noting that her glasses were no longer on her. After a squinted quick look around she spotted them in front of her, they must of fallen off when she was sky rocketed backwards. Closing her laptop and regaining her balance she made her to her glasses.

Upon arrival she saw that the left side was slightly cracked, but all was very dusty. Giving them a gentle clean she placed them back on her dirty face, thanking that she had an extra pair back at home. She was covered head to toe in dust; though now was not the time to worry and with that made her way back to her abandon car.

The drive home was a nightmare; she was troubled in and out of her thoughts. The outside was covered in expecting traffic for the fact that no one was allowed to be in the city at this point; the question being why would you want to be? And within her brain she continued to reply the phenomenal event that just took place before her. "What were those things? Super secret special technology from the government surely" she thought, though for some reason she really didn't think that was the answer, mainly based on the very short encounter she had with two bots earlier. Their conversation seemed so real and alive, it thrived with emotions and working with machines as much as Lucy did, she knew that wasn't possible. The only reasonable explanations would be either pilots or controllers from distance, thriving more questions on who the hell pissed her country of now and when the heck was technology so advance? Looking at existing robot technology the best she has seen is Hondo's AZIMO and that cute little tech could only walk really.

"Aurgh!" she gently smacked her head on the steering wheel, so many questions with no answers, this and the traffic filled with honks was really starting to give her quite the headache.

Finally after hours of waiting and driving Lucy found herself at a very familiar block of apartments, parking herself as close as possible she took her belongs and made her way into the building. All was very quite as she waited for the lift to take her to the 7th floor, the only sound was the lift making its way to her. She assumed everyone was locked inside watching the news based on the events that occurred within their city. She lived on the outskirts of the city but was in enough to be considered a civilian of Mission City.

"Damn it's gunna be a long time till everything will be back to normal" she sighed thinking about what future will bring, no doubts taxes will rise in order to pay the damage that occurred, something she was already struggling to afford. With a 'Ding' sound the lift arrived and opened for the tired woman, upon entering she pushed the button to floor seven, left once again with her thoughts.

"If stuff gets to hard I could always move back home, considering it was my city that got attacked maybe my parents would understand…" Her parents would not of heard the news just yet maybe, as a few years back they moved to England, the country were her mother was from, no doubt they will still be at work. Though when the call does arrive Lucy was ready for tears and begs to come home. Depending how things go she may have to consider it.

A few moments later Lucy found herself unlocking her red apartment door marked 27. With a shut of relief she wanted nothing more than collapse there and then by it, but the sofa seemed much more pleasing. Throwing her bag on the floor she pathetically made her way across the kitchen/living room, until she found the sofa and dumped herself onto it. She laid there for a moment in the dark thinking of what to do next, most people would of turned the tv on to see and hear more about today's event, But the idea seemed unpleasing for the tired woman. A reminder of the event just clicked an object which holds memories…the laptop.

Sitting up she went over to her bag and took the machine out, whilst walking towards her room she turned the piece of machinery on and placed it on her desk. Whilst waiting for it to load the young woman caught a glimpse of her self in her full body mirror, she was a mess.

Her long brunette hair was completely twisted and tangled, her once white top covered in patches of dust, dirt and small blood stains from her hands, her beige medium length skirt and boots didn't look as bad but was still in need of a good wash. Her legs though was covered in gashes from the glass contact, she was in need of a very long warm shower.

"My god, I can't believe I drove like this, I wasn't even in the combat that took place." She said continuing to look at herself, the thought of those who were came into mind and she couldn't help but wonder how many people died today, even the innocent people that were in the many buildings, the effects of today were making their mark "Shower…shower will help…" she whispered looking over to her laptop.

The static was finally gone and she was greeted with the usually log in screen, she crept over to type in her password but was not then greeted with the usually windows log in music. 'Access Denied' came across the scene.

"The hell?" she questioned and tried again and again, but the same message kept coming up. After some thought she logged into the computer settings…everything seemed pretty normal, but she continued to scan but still she found nothing out of place.

"How strange?" she pondered "It would seem I will have to hack into my own computer" she said knowing it wouldn't be too much of a hassle, but this was still an odd occurrence.

After a few moments of typing and clicking she was finally greeted with the log in tune and her desktop, once again everything seemed normal and in place. She still wondered why she had to hack into her own computer and looked upon her settings and notices a 'system update' symbol.

"Hmm, wonder if that's why?" she asked but without further questions accepted the update, she was in no mood for this the shower was calling her.

Undressing her self and turning the hot water on, Lucy stepped into the bathroom unaware that this certain 'update' was going to change everything.
