Capítulo 13: chapter 13: New Arrivals

As the sun began to set, casting long shadows over the landscape, seven meteorites broke through the Earth's atmosphere. Flames licked their surfaces as they streaked across the evening sky, descending rapidly towards the ground. These weren't ordinary meteorites; they split up into seven different directions, dispersing across the horizon, each landing miles apart. Their impact sent tremors through the ground, but they all managed to find secluded areas, hidden from prying eyes.

The first meteorite landed with a resounding crash in a remote truck yard. Dust and debris billowed into the air as the hulking, mechanical figure emerged from the crater. Its optical sensors scanned the area, locking onto the largest vehicle nearby—a truck. The robot's form shifted, parts sliding and rotating with mechanical precision until it took the shape of a semi-truck with a brilliant blue and red paint job. After a quick check of its systems, the truck's engine roared to life, and it set off, headed straight toward Sam Witwicky's location.

Meanwhile, the second meteorite had landed in a quiet neighborhood not far from a bustling city. This one sought something different—a vehicle that would blend into its surroundings while still providing power and speed. It scanned a nearby Hummer H2, parked at the edge of a cul-de-sac. In a series of swift transformations, the mechanical being took on the form of a sleek, yellow Hummer. Without drawing attention, it rumbled to life and joined the others in their journey to the same destination.

At a car dealership on the outskirts of town, the third meteorite crashed through the roof, startling a lone salesman locking up for the night. Before the man could investigate, a shimmering silver PONTIAC SOLSTICE caught the robot's attention. It scanned the car, adapting to its form instantly. The sleek, silver car revved its engine, silently rolling out of the lot, the salesman oblivious to what had just happened.

In a deserted construction site, the fourth meteorite impacted the earth, throwing dirt and rubble into the air. The creature within rose to its feet, scanning its surroundings. A massive black GMC TOPKICK PICKUP stood alone at the edge of the site. In moments, the robot transformed, taking on the truck's heavy-duty form. It let out a low, mechanical growl before speeding off into the night.

Across town, the fifth meteorite landed near a racetrack, where a pristine white CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY caught the attention of its new occupant. The robot quickly adapted, transforming into the sleek sports car, and sped away from the scene. It moved with such precision that no one even noticed the brief flashes of mechanical parts during its transformation.

In a quiet suburban neighborhood, the sixth meteorite slammed into the earth, hiding itself behind a row of parked vehicles. It scanned the area, locking onto a 2007 Honda CBR 600 motorcycle. In an instant, the robot took on the form of the purple bike, its engine purring as it darted out of sight, heading toward its destination with remarkable speed and agility.

The seventh and final meteorite had landed in a more upscale part of town. It emerged from its impact site near a luxury car garage. A sleek, red 2007 Porsche 911 was parked inside, and the robot quickly scanned and adapted to it. The high-performance vehicle roared to life, and with a flash of its tail lights, it vanished into the night, heading to join the others.

Meanwhile, back at the quarry where Bumblebee and Barricade had recently fought, Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes were sitting inside Bumblebee, the car's engine humming as it carried them down a long, dusty road. Mikaela sat quietly, her mind racing after everything she had witnessed. She had seen Bumblebee transform into a giant robot and fight Barricade, another mechanical being. It was a lot to process, and as they drove, she found herself staring at Sam, trying to make sense of everything.

Sam, on the other hand, was completely oblivious to Mikaela's gaze. He was too focused, talking to Alfred—his AI assistant—in his earpiece. "Alfred, did you manage to clean up the quarry?" Sam asked, his voice low but urgent. He needed to make sure there were no traces left behind that could lead back to them.

Alfred's voice came through clearly in Sam's ear. "Yes, everything has been taken care of. The area is secure. No evidence of the fight remains. However, I did detect seven unidentified objects entering Earth's atmosphere during Bumblebee's battle with Barricade."

Sam blinked in surprise. 'Seven?' he thought to himself. 'That doesn't make sense.' He had been expecting the Autobots to arrive, but there should have only been four of them, because in the first Transformers movie, only four meteorites had come down—those of Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Jazz, and Ratchet. But Alfred was saying there were seven this time. He quickly shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it too much. Maybe things had changed, or maybe more Autobots had come to Earth His brow furrowed, and for a moment, he considered the possibility that something was wrong. But he pushed the thought aside. "Thanks, Alfred. Keep me posted if anything else comes up."

Mikaela, still staring at Sam, finally spoke up. "Sam... who are you talking to?" Her voice was a mix of confusion and frustration. She had been through enough surprises for one day, and she deserved some answers.

Sam turned to her, snapping out of his thoughts. "Oh, right," he said, a little sheepishly. "Uh, I was talking to Alfred."

Mikaela raised an eyebrow. "Who the hell is Alfred?"

Before Sam could answer, Alfred's voice chimed in through a speaker installed inside Bumblebee. "Miss Banes, I am Alfred, Sam's AI assistant. Pleased to meet you."

Mikaela's eyes widened in shock. "What the" she began, but before she could finish, her attention was drawn to the road ahead. Seven vehicles each different in size, shape, and color had pulled up alongside Bumblebee as they made their way down the deserted road. The air grew tense as Bumblebee slowed to a stop, and the seven vehicles followed suit, parking in a perfect line.

"Sam..." Mikaela whispered, her voice shaky. "What is going on?"

Sam didn't answer her directly. Instead, he focused on what was happening. "Alfred, cut all surveillance in the area."

"Already done," Alfred replied smoothly. "You are off the grid."

Sam grinned slightly, feeling a bit more in control. Bumblebee's doors opened, allowing both him and Mikaela to step out. Mikaela hesitated, glancing around nervously. "Sam, seriously. What's happening?"

"Just trust me," Sam said, offering her a small reassuring smile. But before Mikaela could press him further, Bumblebee transformed, his towering form casting a long shadow over the ground. One by one, the other vehicles transformed as well, each revealing their true robotic forms. Mikaela gasped in awe and terror as she watched the mechanical giants reveal themselves.

The largest of the group knelt down before Sam, its red and blue metallic form gleaming in the fading sunlight. His optics, bright and piercing, focused on Sam as he spoke in a deep, resonant voice.

"Are you Sam Witwicky?"

Sam swallowed hard, feeling the weight of the moment. He stepped forward, his gaze meeting the giant's optics. "Yes," he replied, his voice steady despite the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside him.

The chapter ended there, leaving a sense of anticipation hanging in the air, as both Sam and Mikaela were left standing before the towering mechanical beings, waiting to see what would come next.
