 Earth, birthplace of the human race, a species much like our own, capable of great compassion and great violence. For in our quest to protect the humans, a deeper revelation dawns. Our worlds have met before. For the last two years, an advanced team of new Autobots has taken refuge here under my command. Together, we form an alliance with the humans, a secret but brave squad of soldiers. A classified strike team called NEST. We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes hiding in different countries around the globe.

SHANGHAI, CHINA. 22: 14 HRS

        I wait patiently in the helicopter for command to give us the go or no go on this mission. In the distance I can see Lennox walking toward us with his gear, signaling everyone that we can get going. When he gets on the chopper it starts to rise and we head over to our destination. "All right, listen up." We look over to our captain. "China's cover story on this one is "toxic spill." They had to evac the area for search and rescue. This makes six enemy contacts in eight months. We gotta make sure this one does not get out in the public eye so keep it tight." We all give nods understanding the situation. The chopper then starts to descend near a factory, drooping us off the find the con's in the area. We walk a few meters to the rendezvous with the Autobots. In the distance to my right, I could see Ironhinde and the others making their way towards us. We the get close enough Lennox goes to Ironhide and taps his hood. "All right Ironhide. We got echoes. They're close." Epps and I walk beside Irondhide as he starts to transform and sniffs the air. I could never get used to them being able to smell different pheromones. "He's here. I smell him." I look at him with a weird face and walk away getting into position next to Lennox. "It's close. It's getting closer." One of our men say. I stop next to Epps as he looks at the device in his hands. "Oh, no." I look at the device trying to see what's going on when Lennox comes running next to us. 

        "What have you got?" "Thermal ripple." I look over at the device and see a giant mass near by us. "Right, everybody, be steady. We're right on top of it." I get in position and raise my gun, aiming in the direction the Decepticon is supposed to be. Sparks and metal tubes started to fly every where as it started to transform. When it was done it slapped its fist into the rest of the metal tubes sending them my way. My eyes go wide before I leap to the side losing my gun in the process. Some ended up hitting the soldiers, bouncing off and landing near them. Bullets start flying across the battle field as I try to avoid them and find a good cover spot. I quickly hide behind one of the fallen tubes and catch my breath for a moment. I look over at my right hand, focusing enough for it to turn into a cannon. 'I'll have to thank Bee later.' I look over my should aiming my cannon, waiting for the right moment to fire. More sparks fly in every direction as the con' tries to escape, sending some of the soldiers flying backwards. As it's retreating I see that as an open window and fire the cannon, hitting it in the arm, slowing it down for a moment but it regained its speed and left the place. "Dammit!" I yell as I turn my hand back to normal running toward Epps and Lennox. As I run another Decepticon appears and it lunges at me, taking me into its large hands before transforming back into a car with the seat belt tight around my body. "Katana!" I hear Lennox yell out before the car starts to drive away. 

        "Girl acquired." I struggle against the restraints but every time I move, the more tighter the belt gets. I start to hit the interior with my fists as hard as I can causing the wheel to transform with spikes, slowly inching toward my face. "Let me the fuck go." I say trying to back away from the wheel as much as possible. The seat then starts to recline forward making my heart race even faster then it was before.  I turn my head to the side looking out the window seeing Arcee, Elita and Chromia getting closer. They transform and start to shoot the Decepticon but it started to swerve making it harder for them to land a hit. The Decepticon transforms, with me in its hand, just to go through a building and transforms back into a car, But this time I'm in the passenger seat. In front of us I see the oh so familiar ice cream truck hoping they don't fuck this up like last time. "Don't worry Kat. We're a comin'." They tried to transform and stop the con but failed miserably as we speed right by them. I start to hit the interior again with my right hand causing dents here and there. My seat then jerks forward causing my head to hit the dash hard. "Fuck!" I place my hand on my forehead and pull it away to see my fingers covered in blood. I turn around when I hear gunfire in our direction and see Sideswipe on our tail. My vision slowly starts to get darker but I refuse to go down without a fight. I make a fist with my right hand and punch the dash as hard as I can, earning a painful groan from the car. I try my best to focus with my vision slowly fading out, but manged to form a blade that comes out of my forearm and stab at the Decepticon. Sideswipe then throws his blade at the hood of the car while doing a flip, stopping and grabbing onto the blade making it slice the con in half. The half I was in falls over to it's side and I yelp in shock. I quickly cut the belt and take wobbly steps out of the half I was in. I look up at the cocky Auto bot as he spins and poses as sparks fly around behind him. "Damn, I'm good." He turns around looking at me making sure I was okay. "Is my kitty alright?" I look up at with blurry eyes trying to focus on him. "I should be and please stop calling me kitty." I say as I walk past him toward Lennox who came running at me. "Kat are you alright?" He notices the blood trickling down my face and calls over the medic. After getting me head bandaged up and other minor injuries taken care, of Lennox pulls me over to one of the jeeps and gets in. I get into the passenger seat and we drive off with the others not far behind. "Why would the Decepticon wanna take you?" He asks me. "I don't know." I say.

        Now I started to question 'Why did they want me?' Just thinking of the possibilities why they need me sends shivers down my spine. We then get onto the freeway, chasing the Decepticon from earlier. "Air support, we need Big Buddha to deliver the drop now!" I hear Epps say into the comm system. We continued to follow the big con until Optimus showed up and managed to take it down into an old factory a couple miles away from our location. The vehical spend up as we got closer to Optimus and the dying Decepticon. I get out of the jeep and walk alongside Epps and Lennox as we inch closer to Optimus. "Punk-ass Decepticon!" I hear Ironhide say. "Any last words?" Optimus asks the Decepticon while cocking his gun. "This is not your planet to rule! The Fallen shall rise again, and he'll use the girl to take what is rightful his." I stop in my tracks when the con looked at me as he finished it sentence. "That doesn't sound good." I look up at Optimus with worry written all over my face. "What do mean 'What's rightfully his'?" The con gave out a distorted laugh before answering my question. "Your the key to the destruction of humanity." It then starts to laugh again. I make my hands into fists as the anger starts to build up inside me. "Not today." Optimus says before shooting it in the eye, killing it for good. I stop clenching my fists as my body tempature starts to rise making me feel light headed. "You alright Kat? You look a little pale." Epps ask me hile placing his hand on my shoulder. I raise my left hand and place it on my forehead feeling dizzy all of a sudden. "I-I don't know..." My vision turned black as I was falling but Epps caught me. The last thing I remember was someone calling out to me.
