I woke up in the helicopter to see in front of me a woman and a man, "So. . ."

"What'd they get you for?" She asked me. "Um, I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot." I said casually as the man next to her started at me amazed, "Wow," he breathed out. I smiled sadly and shrugged, "Who knew." We looked out the window to see us approaching the Hoover Dam. "Whoa," I breathed as we land, we wait until the guard opened the door and got out with us following leading us to the bridge to see few soldiers standing on the side in line. "Team attention! Present arms!"

Secretary Keller walked to the two soldiers at the end, "At ease. Captain, Sergeant. Got your intel. Excellent work," he complimented. "Thank you, sir," I stop dead in my tracks I must be hearing things because I just heard Will's voice, "What about the gunships?" No, I didn't.

"They're being retrofitted with sabot rounds now. If they hit us again, we'll be ready for them," Keller said, "but it won't do us much good if we can't get world communication back up."

"Will?" I called out; he turned around, "Briana?" I ran and hugged him as he returned it, "You're alive." I let go of him, "Yeah," before I could say something we got interrupted by Simmions.

"Hey, kid." He said as I let go of Will and face him to see his nose bandaged placing his hand on my shoulder, "I think we got off to a bad start, huh?"

"You must be hungry? You want a latte? HoHo? Double venti macchiato?" he spoke again, "Where are they?" I asked as he dropped his hand from my shoulder. A man stepped from behind him, "Briana, I need to listen to me very carefully," He spoke gently, "People can die here. We need to know everything you know. We need to know it now."

"Okay," I said. "But first, I'll take them and my parents." I look at Simmons, "Maybe you should write that down so you won't forget after I'm done with y'all."

"Come with me. We talk about them," the man said and led Will and me after the others with Simmions close following. "What do you mean them and what happens to Ron and Judy?" Will asked. "I tell you later."

"All right, here's the situation," Simmons stated, "You've all had direct contact with the NBE's."

"NBE's?" Epps repeated. "Non-biological Extraterrestrials. Try and keep up with the acronyms," Simmons said making me scold at him, he led us inside the tunnel, "What you're about to see is totally classified," the man who I find out was Tom Banachek, head of Sector 7.

We walked into a vast room seeing people wearing yellow suits. We all were stunned that was in front of us, "Oh shit." I whispered seeing Megatron frozen. "Dear God. what is this?" Keller breathed out. Simmons and Tom led us towards Megatron as Tom spoke, "We think when he made his approach over the north pole, our gravitational field screwed up his telemetry. He crashed in the ice, probably a few thousand years ago. We shipped him here to this facility in 1934."

We stopped and looked up at Megatron, "We call him NBE One," Simmons said. "Listen I don't mean to correct you on everything even though I want to," I spoke, "But that's Megatron." They all looked at me, "He's the leader of the Decepticons."

"He's been in Cryostasis since 1935," Tom spoke looking at me, "Your great-great-grandfather mad one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind."

"Fact is, you're looking at the source of the modern age, the microchip, lasers, spaceflight, cars, all reverse-engineered by studying him," Simmons walking towards me getting in my face, "NBE One. That's what we call it."

"You want to get headbutted again?" I question him with an annoyed tone making him move away, "Where did you headbutt him?" Will asked. "On the nose." he snickered, "And you don't think the United States military might need to know that you're keeping s hostile alien robot frozen in the basement?" Keller question.

'Until these events, we had no credible that threat to national security," Tom replied. "Well, you got one now," Keller shot back. "So why earth?" Will asked. "It's the All Spark," I replied looking at him. "All Spark?" Keller repeated, "What is that?"

"They came here looking for some sort of cube-looking thing. Anyway Mr.NBE One here, AKA Megatron." I was getting in Simmons' face but was pulled back by Will pulling me to his chest before looking at Megatron. "That's what they call him, who's pretty much the harbinger of death want to use the cube to transform human technology to take over the universe. That's their plan."

"And you're sure about that?" Simmons asked, "Yes," I confirmed, and I saw the look on their face realizing why they have that look, "You guys know where it is, don't you." Tom looked at me before speaking, "Follow me."
