The Camaro pulls up in front of a large white building on a hill, which was marked as under renovation. The car doors open, allowing the twins to exit and look up to the sky. From there, they can see what looks like giant shooting stars fall from the sky and land on Earth. There's a flash of light as they go right over their heads, landing all over their city. One lands just down the hill, to which they can't help themselves, running down to see what was happening.
The grass around where the meteor-like object was all burnt and some on fire, smoke coming off of a large metal container- like object. Whatever was there just seconds ago, wasn't there anymore.
"There's more, kids," the radio sounds behind them, to which Emilia tugs on her brother to get back in the car. There was much more they had to see than just the meteors.
~~~
The Camaro pulls into a dark alley, between tall brick buildings. When it comes to a stop, the twins can see what looks like a blue semi truck with red and orange flames driving towards them.
Emilia is the first to get out and move around the front, Sam joining her right after. The truck pulls up close to them, nearly touching them before it starts to transform. This robot is much bigger than the yellow one, probably twice its size. Because of this, it had to get down on one knee and lean its face in close to them.
"Are you Emilianna Rose Witwicky and Samuel James Witwicky, decedents of Archibald Witwicky?"
"They know our names," Sam whispered quietly.
"Um... yeah?" Emilia answers the robot.
"My name is Optimus Prime," he introduces himself. "We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron."
"But you can call us Autobots, for short," a greenish-yellow robot says from behind them.
"Autobots?" The blonde repeats the name, trying to take in all the information.
"What's crackin' lil bitches?" Another voice says, drawing their eyes to look over at a silver car.
"That is my first lieutenant, Jazz."
"This looks like a cool place to chill."
"How did he learn to talk like that?" Sam asks.
"We've learned Earth's languages through the World Wide Web," Optimus answered, before motioning to a dark grey robot. "This here is my weapons specialist, Iron Hide."
The robot reveals the large cannons on his arms, aiming them at the twins. "You feelin' lucky, punks?"
"Easy, Iron Hide."
"I'm just kidding, I only wanted to show them my cannons."
"They're... very nice," Emilia tells him with a small nod, flashing a nervous smile.
"That's what I keep telling them."
"Our medical officer, Ratchet," Optimus continues, motioning to the greenish-yellow robot from before.
"From the hormone and energy levels, I'd say the male isn't as brave as the female," he says, causing the blonde girl to crack a smile, though Sam elbows her to stop.
"You already know your guardian, Bumblebee."
"Bumblebee?" Emilia asks. "You're our guardian?"
"Sorry princess," the radio turns on and the robot shakes his head. "I only got one on the job."
"What's that supposed to mean? You only guard... Sam?"
"You got it."
"Hey, hey," Sam shakes his head. "There was a giant robot attacking my sister and now you're telling me you won't even give her a guardian? What's the big idea?"
"We didn't expect there to be attention on the both of you," Ratchet tells them. "We saw your name, but didn't intend to get her involved."
"I can watch over her," Optimus says. "If that would make you feel better."
"Yeah, actually, it would."
It was Emilia's turn to elbow her brother with a frown, before looking at the tallest Autobot. "Why are you here?" She asks.
"We are here looking for the Allspark," he answers. "And we must find it before Megatron."
"Mega-what?" Sam asks.
Optimus put a finger to his head, holographs coming from his eyes and allowing the two to see what he wants them to, giving them a vision of what Cybertron looked like.
"Our planet was once a powerful empire," he explains. "Always peaceful. Until we were betrayed by Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. All who defied them were destroyed, a war finally consuming the planet. And the Allspark was lost to the stars. Megatron followed the trail to Earth, where Captain Witwicky found him. It was an accident that intertwined our fates. Megatron crash landed before he could retrieve the Cube, and the Captain accidentally activated his navigation system. The coordinates to the Cube's location on Earth were imprinted on his glasses."
"His glasses..." Emilia said quietly, looking up at Optimus. "Sam put them up on Ebay, is that where you saw them?"
"Yes," he nods.
"If the Decepticons find the Allspark, he will use it's power to transform Earth's machines and create a new army," Ratchet says.
"And the human race will be extinguished," their leader adds. "Emilianna, Samuel, you hold the key to Earth's survival."
Emilia looks over at her brother, shaking her head slowly. "If you sold his glasses, I will kill you before Megatron gets the chance."
"I have it," he says. "It's in my room, at the house. Bumblebee has been there, he can take us there, we'll get it for you."
"We can all go," Optimus nods, starting to transform back into the Semi-Truck form, the others following in suit into various vehicles.
"We have to be quiet," the blonde girl says, looking at her twin brother. "Mom and Dad can't know what's going on, they won't let us leave the house."
"Okay, okay, I know," he nods. He looks over, Bumblebee waiting with his door open. Both move to get in, but he wont let Emilia in.
"What now?" She asked with a frown.
"I'm only good for one, sweetheart," the radio responds, causing her to pause before looking over at Optimus. His passenger side door open, and she looks back at her brother.
"Guess I'm going over there," she tells him, before walking over to the large truck.
Emilia uses the handle to pull herself up onto the metal step, before putting both hands on the seat and pulling herself the rest of the way up in the truck. The door closes behind her, before Optimus takes the lead down the street.
"I understand this can be uncomfortable, Emilianna," Optimus says.
"Just Emilia, that's fine," she tells him.
"Alright, Emilia. I know Bumblebee is the car you and your brother bought, and he will stay with you two, but it is safer to have our attention on only one human at a time. It will save us from worrying too much and losing track."
"No no, it's fine," she shakes her head. "Totally cool with it, whatever works for you guys."
"Thank you for understanding."
"Of course."
