== Synopsis ==
==Story==
[[Image:Siege mode bunker.jpg|left|200px|thumb|It is an avatar of apocalyptic prose, the herald... of overwrought narration!]]
During a meteor shower, an unknown voice tells a fairy tale about the light. A young [[Kairi]] washes up on a beach, where she is found by a young [[Sora]].
Confronted by two menacing robots, the stunned Verity, Hunter and Jimmy can only stand and gawk as the ambulance driver disappears in a blaze of electricity. That blaze stuns one of the robots, sending it into the garage wall and scattering concrete everywhere. The ambulance itself transforms into a third giant robot, who shields the three humans from the rubble. As the white robot draws a weapon, the third robot deploys an ink spray, blinding his attacker, then transforms back into an ambulance once again and orders the three humans inside. As the ambulance peels out, Jimmy laments the destruction of his garage.


Back in the wilds of Arizona, a police detachment finds the dead body of the mustached businessman. He has no I.D., but one of the officers recognizes him and makes a phone call to a group of people in a boardroom to report the death. Behind them, the wall is adorned with [[Machination|a massive "M"]].
Sora wakes up from a dream, and is startled by Kairi standing behind him. They check the raft they are making, but get scolded by [[Riku]] for always slacking off. They discuss the possibility of sailing to another world, and finding out where Kairi came from. Kairi shows off the good-luck charm she made. As they make their way back home, Riku tosses a [[paopu fruit]] to Sora, claiming that if two people share one, their destinies become intertwined, and teases Sora about trying it out.


Traveling on a crowded freeway, the ambulance is once again picked up by the blue jet fighter and narrowly avoids a pile-up caused by the jet's sonic boom. This allows the two sports cars—who identify themselves as Runamuck and Runabout—to catch up, partially transforming to deploy weapons. According to the ambulance, this is a very disturbing sign, as Decepticons never break cover, let alone in such a brazen fashion.  
At [[Disney Castle]], a panicked [[Donald]] wakes [[Goofy]] about a problem with [[the King]], but [[Minnie]] and [[Daisy]] hear him shouting. In the castle, Donald explains the King is gone and had left a letter. In the letter, he explains he had to leave because the worlds are in danger, and tasks Donald and Goofy with finding the "key". To do so, he sends the two to [[Traverse Town]], to find a man named [[Leon]].


In Oregon, Starscream and Blitzwing marvel at the ore that they have discovered. They anticipate refining more, and getting some kind of unfriendly response for breaking protocol.  
Meanwhile, Sora is in his room, embarrassed about the idea of sharing a paopu fruit, Kairi is finishing her good-luck charm, and Riku is staring at the island with a weird look in his eyes, stating the door is opening.


Some more fancy driving allows the ambulance to shake Runamuck and Runabout. Verity, who on top of fleeing for her life has had reality turned upside down on her, screams for them to stop and jumps out.

While Jimmy goes to calm her down, Hunter tries to pry more detail out of the ambulance—starting with its name, Ratchet—but before he can get far, the jet re-acquires them. With everyone back inside, Ratchet pours on a burst of speed. In the middle of the desert, three more cars with weapons that spring from hidden compartments appear in their path and shoot the plane down. These cars then transform, draw weapons, and the [[Prowl (G1)|leader]] informs Ratchet of the statutes of the Autobot [[Code of Interplanetary Conflict]] that he has violated. In his defense, Ratchet offers only two words: [[Siege Mode]]...
