Okay, in this story is based on an alternate end to what happened to Silas. Instead of screwing himself over and getting himself killed off by Airachnid in the end of things. He decided to upgrade himself and M.E.C.H with the technology used to turn Breakdown into Silas' new body. Hope this explains things better than I originally began. Anywho back to the story. Enjoy. :)

Ch. 1

Three years after the revival of Cybertron:

Jack's POV:

I looked around as we stepped out of the bunker wearing airmasks and military Hazop suits. I couldn't believe how everything had gone to absolute hell. M.E.C.H had come back with a vengeance and attacked America and the world by hacking the defense net and launching the nuclear arsenals of America and Russia. The world was completely burned over and the few of us who had survived throughout the world were mostly military or the well connected.

'Or like me... just because my mom got married to Fowler...' It still hurt to remember my mom, after the incident. But now I stood outside the base and I couldn't suppress the emotions I felt. "Primus... no..." All around, I could see the burned remains and glassed over shells of the town near the base. I could see dead bodies on the ground; bodies of men, women, and children.

I suddenly felt myself responsible for all of this. "If I had finished him off right there, none of this would've happened..." I suddenly felt anger and a need for justice fill my body as I looked to the sky and saw the distant mushroom clouds still in the sky. "Silas... you won't win this. I will find you, and you will face justice for all this."

With that, I walked back into the base and up to the commander. "Dad, we need to talk; it's important." I watched as Fowler turned to me with a serious face. "Jack I already told you, we can't find them... they encoded the signal to damn well for us to back trace it." After the Autobots left Earth, Agent Fowler and my mom started seeing each other and eventually got married.

I suddenly looked at Fowler with a serious face. "I want to enlist sir; I want a part in finding Silas and making him pay for what he's done." I saw the look on Fowlers face as it was quite surprised and he looked at me with a nod. "Alright then."

Three years later:

Arcee's POV:

I was sitting in my quarters in the barracks; I was seriously bored right now. 'No more Decepticons, nothing to do but sit around...' With the Decepticons defeated for good, most of the efforts of the massing numbers of Cybertronians were set to repairing the long abandoned cities of Cybertron. "Heh, Megatron was trying to use the Omega Lock to destroy a planet but he only managed to revive our home planet; the irony in that scrap."

It had been six years since we had returned to Cybertron and left Earth, and our friends. 'Jack... I wonder what he's up to nowadays.' I had been thinking of Jack a lot lately, which was pretty confusing for me. I had figured that of all the people I would think about, I figured it would've been either Cliffjumper or Tailgate that would be occupying my thoughts. That's why it shocked me so much at first when I started to dwell on my memories of Jack back on Earth.

'I wish you could be here Jack; I wish we could still be togeth-' I suddenly went wide eyed as what I had been thinking registered with me. I just acted like one of those human females that always wanted to be with a male. Even more so considering that I was thinking about Jack that way. "I need to get out of here, find something to keep me occupied." I stood up and walked out of my quarters as I made my way towards the command center.

It didn't take long considering it was just a quick ride up in one of the power lifts. I leaned against the side of the lift as I started to drift into my thoughts again. "I wonder what Ratchet's doing now that he doesn't have to listen to Miko playing her guitar all the time." I suddenly looked up as the lift doors opened and I walked into the bustling command center and up to the commander I had worked beside for so many years.

"Hey Optimus, anything you need done today?" I watched as Optimus looked at me with a smile before he spoke up in his characteristic baritone voice. "Not today Arcee; today has been rather uneventful in all accounts." I was going to speak up again when a voice cut in. "Optimus, we've got a communication coming in on the deep space level." With that, I followed Optimus over to the communication panels as a face appeared on the monitor.

"Optimus, this is Tankor." I looked along with Optimus at the screen as my commander spoke up. "Reading you loud and clear Tankor; what message do you bring?" I listened along with all Autobots present as Tankor spoke up. "I landed on a back water planet around sector T17; I was monitoring and observing the local inhabitants of the planet when I saw this..." With that, another image popped up; causing Optimus and myself to go wide eyed.

"That's an Earth based transport Optimus!" From what Jack had told me, it was a black military model humvee. But what really caught our attention... was the Autobot emblem painted on the side of the vehicle. "Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention Tankor; stay on site and await further orders. Optimus Prime out." With that, the screen went blank as Optimus suddenly turned towards the allcaller and hit the button as he transmitted on the open channel to all Cybertronians.

"Attention all Cybertronians: I need the following Autobots to report to the command center immediately: Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Ratchet, and Wheeljack. Repeating: Autobots Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Ratchet, and Wheeljack; report to the command center immediately." Optimus then closed the channel and turned towards me. "Optimus, what are you planning?" I suddenly saw his face become serious as he spoke up. "I think it is time we made a return trip to Earth." I suddenly froze where I was standing as the words registered with me. "When do we leave Optimus?" I suddenly saw his eyes clear of all emotions as he spoke. "Immediately."

There you have it, the first chapter. Hope it was good; will get the second chapter up as quick as time permits. Until then, TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!
