There were some ships flying over the dinosaurs. But those weren't just any ships. A smaller dinosaur went over and looked that's when the ships began shooting. Everything that it touch was destroyed in matter of seconds. Grass, water and the dinosaurs became ashes within seconds.

They had found something in the ice and they weren't sure what it was. The Foreman watched as his boss came to the site "Oh, shit. Darcy, you really shouldn't have come" he said "Show me" she said.

He walked as she followed "Corporate was adamant. We keep running. No stopping operations. No, no, no. You got to go through. No cameras. He's got orders to kill. I don't even think international laws apply up here"

She went through the metal detector "We are geologists first. If this thing has any historical significance at all, we are shutting down. I'm shutting us down" she said and the other man cocked his gun "Oh, he's going to shoot me? Shoot me" she said "Hey, don't kill her. This is crazy stuff. Crazy shit"

He walked over and hit the life size dinosaur with a hammer. Metal. A freaking dinosaur transformer is what it was. "Well, what do you think?" he asked "I think history is about to change" she said

I was done setting up "Will!" "Yeah" he walked over and smiled "Looks great hun" "I could have become a party planner" "Yeah right". I walked inside "I'll go change Owen and Grace" I said. I walked to Owen's room. Wheelie had jeans on "Kids. What did I say about Wheelie?"

I picked him up "Sorry Wheelie" Owen said "It's fine tiny giant" Wheelie said. Grace laughed I changed Owen's shirt on a nice shirt and some dress pants "Go to dad" and he ran out. My phone rang as I picked up Grace.

"I'm going to be late" Sam said 

"Sam...." 

"I know. I'm sorry" 

"Just get here" 

"I will"

I walked outside Epps, my parents, some of our NEST friends were here even Morshower was here. My mom walked over "Where's Sam?" she asked "Late" "Really? It's his only nephew's birthday. He's 5 and he can't be on time" "Mom it's fine". 

Will came over "Everything okay?" "Sam is going to be late" I explained. He shook his head "It's fine". I went and sat with everyone else.

Cade Yeager was going to an old theater that was closing down. His friend and only worker Lucas had arrived "Oh, look who decided to show up for work" Cade said and got out of his car. 

Lucas was singing in his car and got out "What, surf report no good at South Padre?" Cade asked "The waves are flat and I got no gas. You know that, Cade"

A truck drove past Lucas without stopping, almost running him over "Dude. Rude. Look at these two junebugs. Whoo! My, my! Hey, you're paying me on this one, right, Cade? Please tell me I'm getting paid" Lucas said 

"You know, Lucas, a lot of guys are just happy to have a job at all" Cade said "Yeah, I suppose" "You got any cash on you?" "Yeah" "All right, good"

And they walked to the theater together "Hey, Lucas Flannery" Lucas said and he wobbly shook the guys hand. 

They walked inside "Place has been in the family since '28. Granddaddy ran it all his life. Ain't that right, Granddaddy? Real soon he's going to sign it over to me" the Grandson said "The movies nowadays, that's the trouble. Sequels and remakes, bunch of crap. I love that one" the Grandfather said

He pointed at an old movie poster "He's deaf and senile" the Grandson said "Heard that" "Now these just need some spit and polish. I believe they're digital, possibly IMAX" "Yeah, they're not. Mister, we'll have a look around if you want to leave us to it, okay?" Cade said

"You know, folks used to come from miles around to see the dancing girls with the big cha-chas" the Grandfather said "I swear to God I am one diaper change away from poisoning his oatmeal" the Grandson said

Cade looked at him "Hey, you hang in there, buddy. If coming here makes you feel young, then you tell this kid to bring you here every day. Seven bucks, I keep talking" Cade said "Sold" the Grandson said.

They walked downstairs "Remember this place when we were kids? How many girls you think you brought here in high school?" Lucas asked "I only remember one. Hey, heads!" Cade said and threw a football.

Lucas got hit by the football on his head "Ow!" he said and fell back "That's why you didn't make the varsity team" Cade said "Ah. All right. Go long" 

Lucas threw the ball and bounced back which then hit something and it broke "Leave it" Lucas said. Cade saw on old Truck there and he opened it "Mortar shells? What the hell happened to you?" Cade said

Cade walked back "Hey, snakeballs. How much for the truck?" he asked "Truck?" the Grandson asked. He had no idea there was a truck there. Cade brought the truck and took it to his house.

To Cade the truck was old and he could fix but to someone else like Alexia who helped that truck and fought by his side. That truck was none other than Optimus Prime. 

While Cade was out buying junk his daughter Tessa was arriving home "Two more weeks, girls, till no more classes, ever. Almost time to get a tan and get wasted!" she said. Her friends cheered. She stopped to grab the mail and the neighbors repairs.

In the mail came a letter about Financial Aid "Please, please. No financial aid. Great" she said. As she reached her house the "dog" was barking  "Yes, I know I'm home, thank you" she said.

"Intruder alert! Intruder alert! Back away from the premises!" the robot said "Voice recognition. It's me!" "I am dialing 911" "Go right ahead. I don't care" "I'm still calling 911"

I went inside. The news was on "The Battle of Chicago was an event that permanently changed our world. Over 1,300 dead. Much of the city has been destroyed. Homeland Security is urging everyone to report suspicious alien activity. A swift act of Congress put an end to all joint operations between the military and the Autobots, ending the alliance-" I turned the TV off.

First Chapter of the 4th book. Enjoy!
