Yeah... I thought I'd redo the first chapter of the GENESIS story. I'm going to be changing a variety of things such as their escape. I like the first chapter, but I just don't think it's that realistic.

The chapter is a lot shorter, than the first one but it's a prologue. It describes the time of when the GENESIS escaped their prison. They'll meet up with the Transformers eventually, but I kinda have to give them a back story instead of just 'OMG FREAKING GIANT ROBOTS! AHHH! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES'. Because even Ocs have back stories.

But as a Bonus, I'll let you in on something: Jazz gets revived!

And there are a new pair of twins!

Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers. Hasbro does. I only own the characters I created for this story.

Prologue

~Six months earlier...~

Thirty-Nine had stayed behind.

She stayed to ensure that the building was fully consumed by the flames. She stayed to ensure that all of her team mates got out alive. And she stayed to ensure that any trace of what had been the Fortress burned down right to the ground, erasing all evidence of their existence.

There were malicious cuts and burns all over her body and there was a gash in her side, staining the white shirt she had worn for as long as she could remember. Such injuries would have incapacitated a normal human, but she paid it no mind as if they were merely scratches. This was nothing compared to the wounds, broken bones and limbs she suffered in the past.

Besides, she had more important things to attend to.

Like how the girl would make sure there was no accursed Fortress to return to.

This would throw off the people who would search for them. It wouldn't work for long, but any time that allowed them to distance themselves from their would be captors was better than nothing.

"Satisfied?" The voice startled her, but she quickly regained her composure. If she had been surprised in the first place, it was hard to tell since her facial expression showed nothing but neutral calm.

"What the hell are you doing here?" The anger in her voice betrayed her expression. She thought he had left with the rest of them.

The dark-haired boy said nothing, merely folding his arms across his broad chest. He was wearing the exact same tattered white short-sleeved shirt and pants as the girl, albeit bigger to fit his more bulkier figure rather than her slim one. His eyes were dark and no matter how much the blonde haired girl searched them, they told her nothing. Zero-Four had always been good at that; hiding his own emotions so well that even she couldn't read them and being able to read everyone else like a book. Her included. And apparently she wasn't easy to read.

The male snorted, his dark eyes staring right into her blue ones. "Did you honestly think I didn't know you enough to realize that you would stay and made sure it was all destroyed?"

Thirty-Nine didn't say anything; instead she chose to redirect her attention towards the flames that continued to rage on. The sides of her mouth tilted upwards in a grim smile of satisfaction. They hadn't lost any of their numbers, but quite a few of the scientists who operated the Fortress hadn't been as lucky. Neither had the mercenaries; she had made sure of that.

"You know me well." She said dryly. "But maybe the fact that you can read minds contributed to that."

"Can't say it didn't help."

There was silence as the both of them continued to wait. They waited until all of it was gone and the sun started to rise. Thirty-nine remembered something said back at the Fortress referring to the time between night and day. It was called dawn. She asked the Woman long ago about it. She had smiled sadly and told her that it was when the sun started to rise into sky, the start of day.

Thirty-nine frowned; in all her memories, the Woman had been sad. She would smile, but there the smile would always be forced. She had been just as miserable as they were but had been helpless in doing anything about the situation. Not that she entirely blamed the Woman at all.

And even if she did, there was no point in doing so any more. The Woman was dead.

"We better go now." She said, taking one last look at the ruins before turning away. "They'll find out about this soon and I feel like getting a head start."

"Yeah." Zero-Four nodded.

With speed beyond human capabilities, they disappeared into the desert. Any trace of them would be gone by the time their pursuers tried to catch up to them.

They didn't stop until they were miles away from the facility, the Fortress, they grew up in.
