"Starella! what have I told you about playing with your Sire's tools?!" Carrier told me
I look up at Carrier, "not to play with Sire's tools?" 
"exactly. Now take them back to Sire, Starella" Carrier said. 
"Sire" I say as I run over to him
"hi there sweetspark. been good for Carrier?" Sire asks
"Ratchet, I would like it if you don't leave your wrenches where Starella can't get to them" Carrier said
"Firestar, as long as she doesn't hit anybot with a wrench, don't worry. and she's just 5 stellar cycles old" Sire replies 
~flashback ends~
'another dream?' I think to myself as  I wake up next to Sam.
"uh, how long have I been out" I ask Sam
"for a few hours" Sam replied
"where are we going?" I ask
"I have no idea" Sam said
"what they get you for?" the blond girl from across Sam asks
"uh, my cousin and I brought a car. turned out to be alien robot" Sam said
"wow" the black dude said. and no I'm not racist. 
"who knew?" I said
we were quiet for the rest of the ride.
after what felt like hours, we arrived at the Hoover Dam and creepy dude along with a few other guys met us
"hey, kids. i think we got off to a bad start. you must be hungary? do you want a latte, a ho-ho,a double venti coffe? what?" Creepy asks
"where's our car?" I asked
"I need you to listen to me, people can die here. we need to know everything you know and we need it now." another guy said
"ok, but first, I'll tale my car, my parents, maybe you should write this down,  and oh yah her juvie record's gota to be gone." Sam told Simmons as Sam, Mikaela and I followed them into the Dam. 
"Come with me, we'll talk about your car" the other guy said
"ok, here's the situation. you all have been in direct contact with NBE's"  Simmons said
"NBE's?" Sam asked
"Non Biological Extraterrestrial. try to keep up with the acronyms." Simmons said
 "what you are about to see is totally classified." the other guy said
"Dear God, what is this?" I heard some one say
"we think when he made his approach over the North Pole, his gravitational field screwed up his landing and crash landed in the ice. Probably a few thousand years ago. We shipped him here to this facility in 1941. We call him NBE 1" Simmons said.
"Sir, I don't mean to correct you on everything you think you know, but that's Megatron. He's the leader of the Decepticons." I said
  "He's been in cryo (frozen state) since 1935. your great great grandfather made one of the greatest discoveries ever" the guy said
"fact is, you're looking at the source of the modern age. microchips, lasers, spaceflight, all reverse engineered by studying NBE 1, that's what we call him" Simmons told us
"and you didn't think that the military should have been told about this?" the director said
"Sir, until now, it posed no incredible threat to national security" he replied
"well, you got one now" he told him
"So why earth?" a military guy asked
"it's the all spark" I said beating Sam to it.
"the All Spark? what's that?" the director asked
"they came here looking for a cube and when NBE 1 aka Megatron , that's what they call him, is pretty much the harbinger of death wants to use the cube to transform human technology to take over the universe. that's their plan" Sam told them. 
"you're sure about that?" Simmons asked
"yah" Sam told him
"you guys know where it is, don't ya?" I asked
"follow me" the other guy said and we followed him out of the chamber and to another room
"you're about to see our crown jewel" Simmons said
"carbon dating puts it here about 10,000 B.C" the guy said as I looked out the window to the Cube. 
"the first seven didn't find it until 1913. they knew it was alien cause of the matching glyphs on the cube as well as NBE 1. President Hoover had the Dam built around. 4 football fields thick of concrete. a perfect way to hide it from being detected by aliens." he told us. 
"what, back up, you said that the dam hides the cube's energy, what kind of energy?" the blonde girl asked
"good question" I heard and we went into a side room where there was a small see through box. 
we stood around it, "anybody have any mechanical devices? cell phones? anything?" Simmons asked
"I have a Nokia" the dude next to the blonde girl said, holding up a cell phone
"ooo, nokia' are nasty" Simmons said as he placed the cell into the box and pressed a button and a flash of blue light appeared and turned the phone into a transformer.
After a while, Simmons pressed another button and killed it just as alarms went off. 
"Boys, they know the cube is here" the director said as we ran out of that room and into the room that held Megatron while the soldiers were gathering weapons
"Take me to my car. he'll know what to do with the cube" Sam told Simmons and pushed him against a car. 
"your car? it's been confiscated" Simmons said.
"than unconfiscate it, asshole" I said, standing next to Sam as the soldiers pointed weapons at everyone. 
"Simmons, I'd do what he says" the director said. 
Simmons led us to the chamber and I saw Bee on a table
"Stop, Stop" I yelled as Sam did the same. 
"it's ok, Bee. they wont hurt you. the cube is here" Sam told him. 
"We'll take you to the cube"  I said and we went to where the cube was. 
Bee went up to it and did something which caused it to fold itself down.
once it was small, Bee changed into the his alt mode, and Sam, Mikaela and I got in and we drove out of the dam. we bypassed Optimus and the other autobots, but they quickly turned around and followed us as we drove to Mission City.
