Disclaimer: Despite how I may want to, I do not own Knight Rider, Glen A. Larson does. The only thing I own is the plot and the OC's that appear.

Woot, first KR fiction. This story came to me when I was half-asleep and watching said TV show.

Full Summary: Set in the original KR universe. When KITT loses everything he ever cared for in a violent explosion, he wakes up to find himself in an ally and unmistakeably human. He then ventures forth in the human world posing as an amnesiac orphan, and sets out to find out who is responsible for turning his world upside down.

Enjoy and I hope you like it.

It had started so normally, I hadn't expected what would happen in coarse few moments.

We had just gotten back from finishing the latest mission, and Michael was trying to get some time off from Devon.

That was when I noticed it.

My scanners told me that a large, explosive object that was coming towards the mansion at an alarming rate.

"Michael!" I said hurriedly through the comlink.

"Yeah, what is it KITT?" Michael replied, seemingly curious of my urgency.

"Michael, my sensors indicate-" But I wasn't fast enough because before I knew it, everything seemed to go white. Sounds exploded around me, things were ramming into my sides and falling on top of me. It felt like I was being tossed around like a rag doll, and I could feel things ripping through the molecular bonded shell, which was not a very pleasant feeling, mind you. It was also frightening. I had to have been some explosive to be able to damage me. But it also made me worry for those that were inside the mansion, those who did not have a molecular bonded shell to protect them.

Finally, what seemed like a countless amount of time, the shaking and thundering stopped. Slowly, I pulled out from the remains of the garage I had been parked in, feeling…well, for lack of better description, sore. I could feel the wholes in the molecular bonded shell, and everything seemed extremely dark, making it hard to see. Hmm, my scanner must be broken. I'd have to get Bonnie to fix it for me later.

I scanned the area as best I could for the three life forms that I had come to call my family.

What I found frightened me to my very core. I did not find even a single trace of any type of life form. But that couldn't be, it had to be because my scanner was damaged. I tried calling out. "Michael?"

When I received no answer, I tried again, louder this time. "Michael? Bonnie? Devon?" Still, I received no answer.

Where…were…they…?

"Devon! Bonnie! MICHAEL!" Somebody please answer.

But nobody did. No words of reassurances came, telling me that they were alright, and that everything would be fine. But they couldn't be…they couldn't be…they couldn't be dead, could they?

Several circuits froze as I processed this thought. Dead? They were gone?

I had failed. I had failed to protect the very humans I was supposed to protect. Oh Michael, I'm so sorry…

I don't remember much of what happened next. I was too much in a state of shock, not fully wanting to admit what had happened, what I had failed at. But at the same time, my own programming seemed to have gone haywire, as what I was supposed to protect was now gone. I bet I was a real mess, but I couldn't be sure as my scanner was severely damaged.

There are a few things I remember though; loud music, laughing, the smell of alcohol, and finally more silence…and something about cliffs and heights, not that I know what any of it meant. Something must also have been wrong with my memory module.

…Then there was the fear, I distinctively remember feeling fear. But I'm not sure why. There were voices, and a several blurs of white that went along with the fear. The next thing I knew everything went black…

I woke up slowly, and the first thing I saw was concrete, which was strangely closer then I remember it being before. I looked around to asses my surroundings, and found the picture clearer then it had been earlier. Somebody must have fixed my scanner. It appeared that I was in some sort of ally, and a dirty on at that. How had I managed to get here?

I tried to move and found that I couldn't. I looked around myself to try and asses the problem and saw...an arm. It was covered in what appeared to be a black sleeve, but an arm nonetheless. I tried to move again and the hand attached to the arm twitched. I jumped. What was going on? I looked around and found another arm. I tried to move one and it did. Suffice it to say, I was a little 'freaked out' as Michael would have put it. Michael...I winced as I remembered what had happened. No, now was not the time to dwell on such memories.

Now was the time to try and figure out what was going on. Slowly, I put both hands palm down and pushed, finding myself rising from the cold ground as I did so. The world turned ninety-degrees as I found myself back on the ground, only this time facing upwards.

The mild pain that came from falling only made me realize something that hardly seemed possible; I was impossibly, inexorably human.

Well, there you go, hope you liked it. Second chapter to be uploaded shortly.
