TRANSFORMERS: The Beginning

Meeting the bots

Tranquility, Nevada

"Matsuri, we need to talk." Sam stated, once they are situated and after they got Mikaela's purse. "How the hell did you lift a car up and throw it?!"

"Sam, not the best time." She sighed as she leaned against the seat. She could tell Sam was about to say something when Bee jerked to the side, efficiently cutting him off. Matsuri smiled slightly and patted the seat in gratitude.

"This car is a pretty good driver." mumbled Mikaela.

"Yeah..." Sam mumbled back. "Why don't you go sit in that seat there?" he nodded to the driver's seat.

"I'm not going to sit in that seat, he's driving!"

"oh...yeah, your right. Uh...well maybe you should sit in my lap."

"Why?"

"We-well, I have the only seat belt here. You know, safety first."

"....Yeah, right." She carefully maneuvered herself so she can get up front and carefully sat in Sam's lap before  put the seat belt on them. Matsuri rolled her eyes at them before hopping up in the driver's seat. She felt Bee wrapping a seat belt around her and she relaxed.

"The seat belt thing was a pretty smooth move." Mikaela hummed.

"Thank you." Sam grinned.

"You know what I don't understand?"

"Hm?"

"Why, if he's suppose to be, like, a super advanced robot, does he transforms into this piece of crap Camaro."

Bee suddenly screeched to a halt, unbuckled the seat belts and opened the doors, letting the three humans get out before driving off. Matsuri walked up beside the other two as Sam started to rant about the car being sensitive and such. Matsuri let out a small groan before starting to pace. After a few minutes, she noticed that Sam had stopped talking and was staring at something. She followed his sight and her mouth fell open.

She saw Bee, who was now a shiny, newer model of the Camaro. She quickly rushed over and hopped in the back as the other two hopped in the front.

"Damn Bee, did I ever mention how much I love you?" She grinned as she ran her hand across the leather seat. She felt her seat shake in response.

"Bee?" asked Sam. "You named my car Bee?"

"No Sam, that's his name. It's complicated."

"suure..." Sam glanced before looking straight ahead. Bee took them in a fenced area before stopping and letting the three humans out. The three slowly walked around in front of the car as they saw four lights heading towards them, The four, which now looked like meteors, passed over them and one was relatively close. They quickly headed there and they got out into a field.

They could see a humanoid mechanical creature, like bee, standing there, probably to get its bearings. It turned its head to look at the three and its electric blue eyes- optics- locked onto them, studying them, though it's optics seemed to linger on Matsuri the most. It quickly started to run off and away from the three humans and in return, the three went back to Bee. They got in and Bee drove off.

Before long, Bee pulled into an alleyway and opened his doors, letting the humans get out. In front of them, they could see a Semi truck, GMC Topkick, Porsche and an ambulance vehicle coming and surrounded the humans. The semi slowly stopped in front of the humans before it started to transform. Now, a giant robot, the biggest one the three teens have seen, towered over them. The other four vehicles transformed as well, making the three being surrounding by giant robots.

The tallest one knelt down so that its face was closer to them. It seemed to observe each of them for a moment before speaking.

"Are you Samuel James Witwicky, descendant of Archibald Witwicky?" Its- his- voice was deep and bartone, making shivers go up Matsuri's spine.

"They know your name..." whispered Mikaela in awe.

"Yeah." was Sam's cautious response.

"My name is Optimus Prime. We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron." Optimus introduced himself.

"But you can call us Autobots for short." stated the yellow bot.

"Autobots." Sam repeated, as if testing it.

"What's crackin' little bitches?" a voice chimed behind them, making them look. They saw the smallest of the group.

"My first Lieutenant. Designation: Jazz." Optimus introduced him.

"This looks like a cool place ta kick it." Jazz grinned as he landed on a abandoned car with his arms crossed.

"Holy damn, I think my brain just fried from hearing our lingo and such coming out of a alien robot's mouth." Matsuri stated as she shook her head. Her remark caused Jazz to look down at her and smirked.

"W-wha...How did he learn to talk like that?" asked Sam.

"We've learned Earth's languages from the World Wide Web." Optimus answered as he straightened up to his full height. "My weapon specialist, Ironhide." The three turned around only to see two giant cannons pointing at them.

"you feeling lucky Punk?" Ironhide growled, making Mikaela and Sam step back. Matsuri stood her ground however and just stared at the cannons, wide eyed.

"Easy Ironhide." ordered Optimus.

"Just Kidding." Ironhide shrugged. "Just wanted to show them my cannons."

"Cannon's...big and shiny...me liiiiike." mumbled Matsuri, drawing attention to herself.

"Better watch out, she has a thing for cannons apparently." Sam warned them, receiving a glare from Matsuri.

"Does she now?" Ironhide hummed before looking down at the girl. "Well then, looks like I found a fleshy that I like."

"Our Medical Officer, Ratchet." Optimus carried on.

"The boy's pheromone levels suggest that he wants to mate with the black haired female." Ratchet observed, causing Mikaela to blush and Sam to whistle awkwardly. Matsuri couldn't help but laugh at that. She smirked at the two teenagers before Optimus spoke up again.

"And you already met your guardian, bumblebee."

Bumblebee punched at the air before chirping down at the three.

"Optimus." Ratchet looked at him with a look that Matsuri couldn't place. "My scanners picked up Cybertronian metal on the left arm of the maroon-haired female." This made Matsuri freeze, feeling everyone's eyes locked on her.

"I...I..." she stuttered, trying to find the right words to say.

"Matsuri, what does he mean?" Sam asked her.

"I...I didn't grow up like other normal kids." she swallowed. "I didn't really have a childhood." She grabbed her glove but hesitated. She took a breath and took her gloves off before shrugging her jacket off, revealing a gleaming metal limb. The metal was smooth and looked like a prostatic, but with looked as if it came from ancient knight armor and is light grey in color. She didn't look at the others for fear of the looks that she would see on their faces.

"I was taken at the age of five by a government organization. I...I don't remember much, just pain and...something glowing. I managed to escape two years ago, about a month before Judy and Ron adopted me." She explained.

She felt a hand on her normal shoulder, making her look up and her eyes met Sam's. His eyes were soft and accepting, not what she was expecting to see. Sam pulled her towards him and wrapped his arms around her tightly.

"You're still my little sister Mats, nothing's going to change that." He murmured. She stood there before hugging back and burying her head into his chest, ignoring the others.
