Dallas, Texas

Rom: Blanc, are we going to find a way back home?

Blanc: Don't worry Rom. (rubs head) Will find a way.

Ram: Yeah don't worry sis, will get out of this freaky place.

Blanc: What makes you think it's freaky?

Ram: I don't know. There's something about it that just doesn't seem right.

Blanc: Okay you two stay close to me while I go talk to this man.

Blanc starts moving closer to the Ford Mustang Saleen police car, with Rom and Ram close behind. She sees a police officer in the vehicle.

Blanc: Hello! We need some directions to the nearest town. (no response) Um hello! Anyone alive in there?

Rom moves away from Blanc's side to look at the front of the vehicle. As she moves in closer to get a better look, the police car begins moving forward so suddenly that Rom falls over. The engine roars as it comes closer and closer to her.

Rom: Blanc!!!

Blanc: Hey! (gets in front of Rom) What the hell is your problem?!?

Ram: Jeez, I thought cops were supposed to protect and serve!

The police car comes to a sudden halt. Blanc and Ram looked confused at first, until a sound is heard from the car.

Blanc: What the hell?

The car begins to move all it's parts, slowly transforming itself into a massive robot who then looks down at the CPUs.

???: They don't. They punish and enslave!

Blanc: The hell are you?!?

???: Barricade. You humans and your Autopets are going to pay for what you've done to Lord Megatron.

Blanc: What are you talking about and who are you calling a human?!? I'm a CPU.... a goddess!

Barricade: (points wrist-mounted gatling gun at them) Sure.

Blanc: You two stand back. I'm going to teach this tin can some manners! (tries to transform but nothing happens) Shit!!! Why can't I transform?!?

Barricade: (laughs) Well that's to bad. (gets ready to fire)

Blanc: Rom, Ram, come here! (They go and hug her sides)

Before Barricade could fire, cars can be heard coming from the distance. Barricade turns around to see three vehicles over the horizon. Chevrolet Centennial Corvette convertible and Rescue Hummer H2 are following behind a Chevy Camaro, coming straight towards Barricade.

Barricade: You!!! (fires, but the Camaro keeps going until it bashes into him, knocking him over) Aaahhh!!!

The Camaro stops in front of Blanc. While the Corvette and Hummer stop in the distance, Barricade gets back up to fight. Blanc looks at Rom and Ram, then back at the Camaro as it begins to transform into a robot. She looks up in awe as the robot gets into a battle stance, Barricade rushes at the bot but he manages to get a hit on Barricade with an uppercut. The other two robots move towards Blanc and her sisters.

???: There is nothing to fear, we are here to help.

Blanc: What are you? (holding her sisters, tightly)

???: Wow. You humans have a really short memory or something, because you should know who we are.

???: Sideswipe, there's a possibility that we are on a different side of Earth. So these three wouldn't know about us.

Sideswipe: Whatever. (looks at the fight)

???: Hello, my name is Ratchet. You've already met Sideswipe and Bumblebee.

Sideswipe: Hey how are you?

Blanc: Wha... what?

Ratchet: We are from the planet called Cybertron. Me and my comrades form the faction called the Autobots, while that bot Bumblebee's fighting is on the Decepticons' side. (sees Blanc in confusion) Now I know this can be a lot to comprehend, but...

Blanc: No I understand. Rom, Ram, it's fine. These ones here are friendly.

Ram: Are you sure?

Blanc: Positive.

Rom and Ram loosen their grip on Blanc, then they turn to see Bumblebee and Barricade still brawling.

Rom: You're not gonna help him?

Sideswipe: Nope, Bumblebee's got it. Lets just say that him and that Decepticon don't like each other very much.

Blanc: They have a rivalry? When did it start?

Sideswipe: Don't know. All I do know is that Bumblebee has had hatred against him since the war began on Cybertron.

Blanc: Mmmmm.

Bumblebee and Barricade come at each other with equal blows, Barricade then breaks this by a punch to Bumblebee's side which makes him stagger back. Bumblebee flips his battle mask on and rushes with a fury in his blows. Barricade retaliates with a few good punches of his own but Bumblebee dodges the last attacks and places a well aimed kick to Barricade's stomach, knocking him down in the process. Bee pulls out his plasma cannon but before he could fire, Barricade kicks his leg, giving him time to transform and escape. Barricade drives away, but Bumblebee continues shooting at him.

Bumblebee: Frustrated beeps.

Ratchet: Calm down Bumblebee.

Sideswipe: Don't worry, you'll get him next time.

Bumblebee calms down and then walks over to the CPUs alongside Ratchet and Sideswipe.

Blanc: Hello, my name is Blanc and these are my two sisters Rom and Ram.

Bumblebee: Why hello there.

Blanc: He can't speak?

Ratchet: You catch on pretty quickly. Yes he can't speak at the moment, his voice capacitor got shattered during battle and so I have to fix it.

Bumblebee: Angered beeps.

Ratchet: Don't worry I'll get it fixed. Now he has to resort to using a human radio for communication.

Sideswipe: Hold on Ratchet, before you start telling your whole life story. (picks up something on comms) Yes, come in, this is Sideswipe.

Rom: Sis do you think that bad robot will come back?

Blanc: Probably not. Don't worry.

Sideswipe: Ratchet, we got to head back. (transforms)

Ratchet: Alright it's nice to see you, but we have to go. Come on Bumblebee. (transforms)

Blanc: Wait! You can't just leave us, that thing could still be around here.

Bumblebee begins to transform and opens his doors to let them in. Blanc looks at Rom and Ram.

Ram: I guess we're going in.

Blanc: Yep, let's go.

Rom and Ram get in the back while Blanc gets in the front, but she stops to turn around.

Blanc: That feels like...

Bumblebee: You coming in or what?

Blanc: Yeah, I am.

She gets in, closes the door and looks at Rom and Ram, smiling. As Rom and Ram smile back, Bumblebee and the Autobots drive off to their headquarters.
