by Minata Namikaze

It's been 3 years since Mission City and a good year since Egypt, with Sam back in collage with Mikaela living nearby while Snowstar Pax, who is now the Sparkmate of the Autobot Scout, Bumblebee and the Carrier/Mother of two Sparklings. The rest of the Summary is inside the story.

1: The Raising Darkness!

Minata Namikaze: Alright, everyone, I've have decided to skip the Transformers movies 3 and 4 for my crossover of Transformers and Winx Club so I am instead going to use Transformers Prime to finish out the crossover series, even though I do NOT like the animation art work (A/N: Those of you, who like the art work, more power to ya.), but I do like the story line as it's not bad and more believable. So, Snowstar Pax, the Daughter of Optimus Prime is now part of Team Prime, a full fledged graduate for Alfea Collage for Fairies, the Sparkmate of the Autobot Scout Bumblebee, and the Carrier/Mother of two sparklings, a mech and femme named Flamechase and Moonstrike AKA Chase and Artemis Pax. Anyways, onto the disclaimer: I don't own Transformers cause if I did then Bumblebee would be able speak by the Third movie and Hotshot, Red Alert, and Leobreaker would have been added into the movies and the new animations art work wouldn't suck nor do I own the Winx Club and about the only thing that I would change is the Butterflix Seasons outfit and hairstyles as their to similar and thus hint towards laziness. I do, however own, Snowstar Pax, Flamechase, Moonstrike, and the human femme Athena Andromeda. Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think, but it you don't the twist that I make then stop reading and find something else. Also don't leave a review that's flame or I will block you. Ja ne.

It's been 3 years since Mission City and a good year since Egypt, with Sam back in collage with Mikaela living nearby while Snowstar Pax, who is now the Sparkmate of the Autobot Scout, Bumblebee and the Carrier/Mother of two Sparklings. It's now been 4 since the original 5 members of Team Prime first arrived on Earth behind the Decepticons and since they had formed an alliance with the human government. The Team is station in a bunker that the government has given them in Jasper, Nevada while the rest of the Autobot Team is located in Diego Garcia under the Second-in-Command, Prowl. It isn't long before four human children get involved in their with the 'Cons after the the lost of one of their own. Can Snowstar prove to not just to herself, but the whole Team that she is ready for the title of Prime or well, she fail?

...My Line...

Jasper, Nevada is a small town where nothing interesting seems to happen and right at that moment a winter's green 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 B5 with icy blue flame drove down the road of the small boring town. However, unknown to the people of Jasper is that this car was different from others as if one looks closer they would see that there is no driver and that on the front of the hood right above the grill was a red friendly robotic face.

"There I am on the look out when out of nowhere these high beams light up my rear view and then it hits me," a mechanical male voice could be heard over the radio. "I'm illegally parked."

"Another parking ticket?" a mechanical female voice was heard asking.

"Better," the male voice answered happily. "The boot."

"A big metal clap and impossible to remove," the female stated.

"Bingo," was the stated saying. "The local police do their thing and I let them get all the way down the block. That's when I kick off my new shinny shoe and bang!"

"New York finest soils themselves," stated the female.

"Only you, Cliffjumper," another mechanical female laughed only this time it came from the Dodge Challenger.

"You know me, Arcee, Snowstar," the male laughed. "Mess with Cliffjumper..."

"And you get the horns," Arcee stated as Cliffjumper laughed. "Not sure how that comply with Autobot rule number 1: Keep a low profile."

"What can I say?" asked Cliff. "Patrolling for Energon out here in duleviles gets lonesome. Almost makes me miss the Decepticons."

"I don't," Snowstar cackled. "I'm loving the no Decepticon peace."

Arcee was heard giving a snort while Cliffjumper laughed.

"Don't we know it," stated Cliff.

"'Cause, you get to spend more time with Bumblebee," Arcee joined in.

"Oh, shut up," the Dodge Challenger growled as the other two laughed. "It's not like Jasper, Nevada is a party."

"Right," agreed Arcee. "We're alone we ever we go on this rock, Cliff."

"I'm getting a signal," Cliff suddenly said.

"Do you need backup?" both Arcee and Snowstar asked.

"When do I ever need backup?" Cliffjumper asked them. "I just found a whole lot of Energon." However, it wasn't long before they heard a worried tone in Cliff's voice. "Arcee, Snowstar, about that backup?"

"Snowstar and Arcee to Sire (Dad)," the Dodge Challenger spoke.

...My Line...

On a road way out in the the desert a red and blue semi truck could be found driving.

"The Decepticons are back," Snowstar went on.

"And Cliffjumper might be neck deep in scrap," Arcee finished.

"Understood," the semi stated.

...My Line...

On a snowy road, a white and orange search and rescue hummer could be found driving down it.

"Ratchet do you have Cliffjumper's coordinates?" Optimus asked.

"I'm locked onto his signal Optimus," the hummer answered as it came to a stop. "But, our team is scattered across time zones."

...My Line...

"Arcee, Snowstar, Jazz, Bulkhead, Bumblebee," Optimus was heard over the com link all of them came to a stop. "Rendezvous back at base and prapere to ground bridge."

All five Autobots spun around and headed back for their base.

...My Line...

From a green vortex six 'bots appeared all holding some kind of weapon at the ready when a 7th more taller and bulkier 'bot joined them also with a weapon at the ready. But, once noticing that there was nothing was there, but destroyed Energon crystals.

"An untapped energon despite," the Prime spoke.

"What's left of it," Bulkhead stated.

"The first Decepticon activate in three years," Ratchet informed them.

"That we know of," stated Optimus as he removed his battle mask. "If their scouting for Energon they could maybe preparing for his return."

All 7 Autobots jumped down from the cliff before the other 6 heard Arcee's gasp.

"No," she breathed before turning around holding a horn in her servos to show the others.

"Ratchet can you track his position?" the Prime asked him.

The medic nodded his helm and then he started to check before he let out gasp of his own.

"No," Ratchet breathed. "Cliffjumper's life signal just went..." He looked back at Optimus. "Offline."

...My Line...

"We must not allow our anger of the lose of Cliffjumper to impair our judgement," Optimus informed the others of his team as they stood onto of a mountain looked at the sunset. "As of today only we 7 Autobots remain on this Earth. We owe it to ourselves, to the memory of Cybertron, to any Autobots in the galaxies seeking safe harbor, to humankind." Arcee then walked up and placed the horn on the ground. "And we owe to the memory of our fallen comrade to survive." The blue and pink Autobot then turned away from them. "Arcee..."

"Cliff's gone," Arcee stated. "Standing around here sulking isn't going to bring him back. So unless anyone minds...I think that I'll get back to protecting humankind."

'Arcee,' the green and blue colored Autobot thought sadly as her fellow femme transformed and then took off.

"Optimus," Ratchet spoke. "Helping humans well only resolve in more tragedy."

"Your opinion is noted," the Prime told him as the Dodge Challenger started to walk away. "Snowstar, sweetspark?"

"I'm going to pick up the twins from the school," the younger 'bot informed. "I'll com if I get into any trouble."

With that said, she transformed into her alt mode and sped away unaware of a pair of baby blue optics watching her as she went.

...My Line...

"Carrier?" a female voice asked as Snowstar came to a stop in the parking lot of an arts store and turned off her engine.

In the backseat of the dodge challenger was a wavy waist length dirty blonde hair and doe azure blue eyed girl, who looked about the age of 12, sat while next to her was a windswept neck length snow white hair and almond shape baby blue eyed male looking around the same age. But, they were really only about a month old and Ratchet had been trying to find out why they were growing more quickly than a normal Sparkling, however, Bloom, Miss Faragonda, and herself think that it's the magic and energon that is flowing their veins.

Snowstar Pax, the Daughter of Optimus Prime and the Queen of the Winter Fairies, Mackenzie, has not just the energon of a Prime flowing through her and though she knew that it would never be as powerful as Bloom, but she was still a powerful Fairy. Of course, it was just a theory just like her Sire, the last of the Primes, thought that Primus has a destiny for them and thus needed them older faster.

"Yes, darling?" she asked.

"Why are we here?" the male asked this time

"To get you two some art supplies as you two are going to spend some time with Uncle Prowl and Uncle Ironhide," she answered them.

"But..."

"Now don't argue with me, you two," she told them. "With the Decepticons being back it'll be best if your with Prowl and Ironhide and their team of Autobots."

The two pouted as they crossed their arms though they couldn't deny that their Creators were just protective of them and just wanted what was best for them.

"Be careful on your way home to your host parents, Athena," all three heard an elderly male voice called out as the door to the shop opened. "And thanks for the help?"

"It was no problem, Mr Wyatt!" a teenage female voice was heard next just before she came into view. "And thanks for the supplies."

The elderly male laughed before the door closed and the female turned around. The female looked to be around the age of 16 maybe 17 in Earth years and she had the strangest hair color that Snowstar had ever seen on a human not of a Fairy background before as it was a metallic silver with metallic blue highlight colors running through it and it fall to her mid-thighs in length with a wavy style to it that she has pulled back into a half ponytail by a blue ribbon. Her skin tone was a sunkissed that seems to shine in the little sun light there was and her face was almost flawless as she had a scare running down the right side of her face from just above her right eye to her jaw, and her eyes were a doe cat-like in shape and the color was a light shade of emerald green.

She was wearing very little makeup such as a sea green eye shadow that seems to make her eyes pop with mascara and a thin layer of light colored lip gloss. Her outfit for some reason screamed goth with it's dark colors as she wearing a wrist length off the shoulder sleeve firm fitting dark grey fishnet shirt under an elbow length off the shoulder firm fitting dark green shirt with both of them showing a bit of her stomach, a pair of hip hugging dark grey skinny jeans accessorized with a gray leather belt while also tucked into a pair of mid-calf length thin 6 heel length black boots. Around her neck was a back leather dog collar that just added to her thought of the girl being a goth. However, it was when she turned around to head through the parking lot that she caught sight of the Dodge Challenger just setting there.

'Don't even think about it kid,' Snowstar thought as she walked over.

The two Sparklings watching with interest.

"A 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 B5," she gasped. "A pretty fast and sweet car. I wonder, who owns you...Huh?" The light colored Autobot had to hold very still when she touched his Autobot symbol. "Nice symbol. Huh, must be a custom job that the owner did."

'Fragging pit,' the sports car transformer thought when she noticed three unwanted cars coming towards her fast. 'I have no choice...Blast.' She then opened his passenger door surprising the girl. "Get in kid."

"What?"

"I don't have all day," growled the car. "So get in...Now!"

Not wanting to get on the bad side of the very much alive sports car, the teen quickly jumped in like she was ordered to. Athena, however, did notice the two 12-year-old looking kids in the back seat as the Cybertronian and Fairy hybrid slammed the door shut, started up, quickly backed up, sped out of the lot, and past thee Decepticon drones.

"Arcee to Snowstar," a female voice spoke up over the com. link. "I'm in need of some backup."

"Your not the only Arcee," the Dodge Challenger informed.

"You, too, huh?" she asked.

"You got it."

"And let me guess, you have a human with you as well?" Arcee asked her. "You have your Sparklings with you?"

"You as well?" Snowstar asked getting a cackle from the other femme. "And yes I do. Snowstar to base."

"We hear you, Snowstar," the familiar voice of her Sire and leader answered. "What seems to be the problem?"

"Arcee and I have Decepticon scum on our tailpipes, Sire," was the answer that the Prime got. "And are in need of backup asap."

Snowstar had to start to swerve to avoid being hit when the 'Cons started to shot at her.

"Bumblebee and Jazz are in route," Optimus told her after a moment.

"Got it," was the immediate reply before she switch com. links. "Arcee, Bumblebee and Hotshot are on their way."

"I can see Bumblebee," she was informed just as a 2010 Pontiac Solstice appeared in her rear view.

"And I can see Jazz," she added with relief. "Were are you, Arcee? We'll have a better chance if all four of us team up against them."

"Near the freeway bridge," she informed her.

"On my way."

...My Line...

It didn't take both Jazz and Snowstar to reach Arcee, who was already facing the 'Cons, with two human males nearby. The Dodge Challenger drove up to them before opening her passenger door allowing the human girl and her two Sparklings out and once Athena was out she transformed. The young human girl stared up at her in awe as helm while shape like a human head had two antennae like fins on both sides connected to her audio raptors, a visor over her optics along with a mask over her mouth, and in the middle of her forehelm was her Autobot symbol.

"Stay out of the way," she ordered them before both her and Hotshot jumped into the fight with the five 'Cons. "Where's Bumblebee?"

"Those 'Cons sent him spinning, but he should be here soon," Arcee answered as they fought.

"We need to get away from the humans and the two Sparklings," Jazz called out to them.

Three humans and said Sparklings stood off to the side watching the fight in awe and slight fear.

"What are they?" the young male asked.

"I don't know," the female breathed in awe.

"Talking cars that can turn into robots," the older male tried to answer. "Or the other way around."

"Their Autobots," the two twins answered at the same time. "And family." They continued to watch the fight as all three of the 'bots were knocked to the ground before they looked up when another car came into view by jumping off the bridge and to their surprise it transformed into another 'bot though not the two younglings. "SIRE!"

This new 'bot glanced at the two for a moment before he was knocking all five 'Cons to the ground before he backed up only to get surprised when there was crunch like sound and he looked down to see that he had stepped onto a toy car.

{I'm sorry} he beeped as he looked over at the three humans and his two Sparklings. {I didn't see it}

"No Problem," the younger human answered. "Really." Bumblebee was then knocked to the ground by the 'Cons before they aim to finish him. "Leave him alone!" They all then looked over at him and the other two. "Please?"

"Bad call," the older male human told him just before one of the 'Cons headed for them.

"Run!" the female human yelled as they took off.

"Come on!"

The three humans and two Sparklings ran towards a pipe that quickly climbed into, but they were almost grabbed by the 'Con when all of a sudden he was pulled away from them. Bumblebee looked down into the pipe and beeped at them.

"Thank you."

The yellow and black Autobot beeped at them again before he went to help fight.

"Don't look back," the older male told informed the younger one.

"What did we just see?" he asked the two older teens.

"No idea," was the answer he got. "And I'm not sure I want to find out."

Athena glanced back as they ran through the pipe to safety just in time to see the two young ones moving to leave the pipes the way they came in.

...My Line...

With the three humans longer nearby, the 'bots all fought without worry of something happening to the youths. Just as Arcee helped Bumblebee up as Snowstar leaned a hand to Jazz when they heard a horn come from behind them making all four to turn around to see Bulkhead just as he transformed.

"Whose ready to rumble?" he asked.

The younger Autobot wasn't at all surprised when they transformed and drove off making Bumblebee let out a sigh of relief.

"What took you so long?" Arcee asked.

"Traffic," was Bulkhead's answer.

Snowstar turned around to face them.

"We should head back to base and fill in Prime on this," he stated.

Arcee nodded before she requested for a ground bridge just as two small 'bots came running up to them. The mech of the two bore a resemblance to Bumblebee, but with Snowstat's helm shape and colors while the femme looked more like the youngest Autobot femme only with Bumblebee's colors. Both the scout and Hybrid each grabbed one of the two before walking through.

...My Line...

"And the 'Cons would have been scrap metal if it wasn't for the human," Arcee was explaining to Optimus.

"Human?" he asked.

{Two boys and a girl} Bumblebee informed.

"Two boys and a girl?" he asked.

"I guess, the second boy caught us in action," answered Arcee with shrug. "I don't know. I was a little busy at the time."

Snowstar than moved foreword.

"All I know is her name, but when I noticed the 'Cons it was already too late," she reported. "They saw her standing near me so I had no choice, but to have her climb into my alt mode."

"I see," Optimus mumbled. "If the Decepticons are targeting us than anyone perceived as our allies are at grave risk."

A pair of azure blue optics narrowed as the green and blue 'bot worked at the meaning of what the Prime said.

"Sire, are you sure about that?" she asked in shock. "That could put them more at risk."

"I am sure Snowstar as there is no other choice," was the answer that she got as the Prime turned to face her. "You, Arcee, and Bumblebee well go and retrieve these humans tomorrow from their place of learning."

"But, Sire, I'm suppose to take Flamechase and Moonstrike to the airport tomorrow," the young femme tired to get out of going.

"That's an order, Snowstar," the Prime's voice left no room to argue making the smaller 'bot to back down.

"Yes, Sire," was the mumble response before the Dodge Challenger transformer walked out of the command center.

The Prime let out a sigh as he looked up the name of the older male human.

...My Line...

It was after school and Jack Darby walked out of the building looking around before he noticed Rafael "Raf" Esquivel and Athena Andromeda standing under a tree.

"Raf, Riku, hey!" he called out as he walked over to them.

"Jack," Athena nodded to him.

"Let's just keep this between us," Jack told them. "And forget anything happened okay?"

Just then a horn beeped making them to gasp in shock as two familiar cars pulled up.

"Jack!"

"Not again!"

Bumblebee opened his door at the same time as Snowstar while the yellow and black 'bot beeped.

"They wants us to get in?" Jack asked.

"No, just me," Raf informed him.

"How did you know that?"

"It said so," was the answer.

"What?"

"You'res is over there," Raf informed him as he pointed at the motorcycle.

"And I'm guessing that the Dodge Challenger is for me, right?" Athena asked with a smile.

"Yup," Raf agreed with her.

"Look I really don't think..." Jack started to say when turned towards them. "Ref? Athena?"

"How's it going?"

"Cool," she cheered before hopping in which allowed the door to close. "So, who are you?" Her seat belt snaked around her. "Better yet what are you?"

"I'm Snowstar," was the answer she got. "And all well be explained by my Sire."

"Who?" she asked, but this time she didn't answer her. "Rude."

"WAIT!" Jack yelled as both cars took off. "STOP!"

...My Line...

All three vehicles sped through the desert and the humans cried out it looked like they were about to hit a wall only for it open up and went right through before it closed.

"Wow," breathed Athena as she looked out of the window of Snowstar's alt mode while another 'bot turned around to watch them come in.

Once they came to a stop they let humans off or out before transforming.

"I thought there was only 3," Ratchet stated.

"Haven't you heard?" asked Arcee. "Humans multiply."

"We don't multiply that fast," Athena stated.

The metallic haired girl than let out sighed before face palming when she saw an all to familiar girl from her PE class .

"Miko," she groaned.

"I'm Raf," the smaller human introduced himself.

"I'm Miko," the other human girl greeted as she ran up to the green 'bot. "Who are you?"

"Bulkhead."

"Are you a car?" Miko asked. "I bet your a truck! A monster truck! Do you like heavy metal?!"

Before she could go on, a hand came out of nowhere and covered her month.

"I'm sorry about that," the metallic haired girl apologize. "I'm Athena Andromeda. Nice to meet chya."

Bulkhead just looked at the two girls in confusion and a little bit of awe.

"So if your all robots, who made you?" Raf asked.

"Puh-lease!" Ratchet said in annoyance.

While Snowstar leaned her helm onto Bumblebee's shoulder, who had his arm wrapped around her waist, and held her close. The humans all looked over to see a 'bot that was taller then the other robots walk up to them.

"We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertronian," Optimus told them. "Also known as Autobots."

Jack stepped forward curiously and hesitatingly.

"Why are you here?" he asked

"To protect your planet from the Decepticons."

Arcee and Snowstar looked at them next.

"The jokers who tried to bump us off last night," the femme stated.

Jack looked back at the Autobot Leader.

"O-okay, Why are they here?"

The Prime knelt down to their level.

"A fair question Jack," Optimus told him. "In part they are here because our planet is uninhabitable. Ravaged by centuries of civil war."

"Why were you fighting a war?" Raf asked with a frown.

"Foremost, for control of our world supply of energon," answered the Prime. "The fuel and lifeblood of all Autobots and Decepticons alike." Optimus then showed them a hologram of Cybertron. "The combat was fierce and endured for centuries. In the beginning I fought alongside one whom I considered a brother, but in war ideals can be corrupted. And it was thus that Megatron lost his way."

"Is there going to be a quiz?" Miko yawned.

"MIKO!" Athena yelled while slapping the girl upside the head. "Don't be so rude."

Jack looked at the metallic haired girl before back at the big bot standing before them.

"So, what does Megatron, or any of this, have to do with us?" he asked.

"Megatron has not been seen nor heard from in some time, but if his return is imminent as I fear, it could be catastrophic." Optimus answered as moved to be beside the other Autobots, "Since you now know of our existence, I fear that as of last night the Decepticons know of yours."

Jack nodded, bouncing on his heels slightly.

"Got it, we spot any strange vehicles, call 911," Jack said making Snowstar to snort. "Can we go now?"

He just wanted to leave and let this be a bad dream which had Miko glared at Jack, along with Athena.

"Are you insane?" Miko asked him. "I'm living a dream here in Botswana and I will not allow you or anyone else to shatter it!"

The Autobot leader watched them, his face showing compassion.

"It is best you four remain under our watch," Optimus told them gently. "At least until we can determine our enemies intentions."

"Optimus, with all due respect," Ratchet spoke up. "The human children are in as much danger here as anywhere."

Jack huffed, along with Miko and Athena.

"Children?" he asked.

Athena was 17 while Jack was 16 and Miko was 15 only Raf was a child though, being only twelve and a quarter.

"They have no protective shell," Ratchet went on. "If they get underfoot, they will go...squish."

Optimus put his hands on his waist.

"Then for the time being Ratchet, we must watch were we step."

"Sire..." Snowstar started to backup Ratchet as she didn't like the idea of kids getting dragged into the war like Sam and Mikaela when a low alarm was going off that had everyone to look up as a green flashing light went off.

"What's that?" Jack asked with a frown.

Bumblebee turned around and made his usual beeping noises.

"A proximity sensor, some one is up top," Raf informed Jack and Miko as Athena was a bit more familiar with tech than them.

Ratchet pulled up a video feed of a helicopter.

"It's Agent Fowler," Ratchet stated.

"I thought we were the only humans who knew about you guys."

"Special Agent Fowler is our designated liaison to the outside world," Optimus stated as he turned to them. "As he tends to visit only when there are issues it may be best if you do not meet him at this time."

Athena looked around and saw Bumblebee motioning to where they can hide before she jogged to the spot, hiding with Ref, Jack, and Miko.

"7 wracks, 34 fender binders, a 3 hour traffic jam, and of a particular note, a numerous report of a speeding motorcycle of unknown make and a black and yellow custom muscle car," Fowler, an African American man, listed as Arcee and Bumblebee looked at each other. "And that's not to mention reports of a winter's green and icy blue Dodge Challenger and a silver 2010 Pontiac Solstice." This time it was Jazz and Snowstar, who looked at each other, as Jack and Athena ducked back into hiding. "So anything you care to get off your tine chest, Prime?"

"We have the situation under control, Agent Fowler."

"Their back?" he asked. "Aren't they?"

"If you are referring to the Decepticons?" the Prime asked him. "I have doubts that they ever left. Your planet is much too valuable."

"Then it's time to wake up the Pentagon," argued Agent Fowler.

"Hear me, Agent Fowler," the Prime told him. "We're you best, possible your only defense against the Decepticon threat."

"Says you."

"Hey, fleshly!" Bulkhead called. "Did anyone get splattered on that freeway or road? Team Prime knows when to use force." He than took a tool followed crushing it. "And how much to use."

"BULKHEAD!" Ratchet yelled. "I NEEDED THAT!"

"Enough," ordered the Prime. "Military involvement will only result in catastrophe. Perhaps you can condone widespread human casualties, Agent Fowler, I however can not."

"Then do us both a favor and handle this, Prime, under the radar," he told him as he turned and getting into the elevator. "Or I will."

"Pretty big bearings...for a human," Bulkhead stated as he stood near the Prime.

"Agent Fowler is concerned for his world, Bulkhead, as he should be," Optimus told him.

Jack got onto a raised platform as soon as the human children came out of hiding so they were higher up and it was easier to talk to the bots with Athena, Miko, and Raf following him.

"Blasted earth tech, Cliffjumper's signal is back online," Ratchet growled as he hit the controls of the computer.

"Who's Cliffjumper?" Miko asked as she tilted her head.

"How is that possible?" asked Arcee as she turned to him quickly.

She was aware of the worried look that her leader's Sparkling was giving her.

"It isn't," answered Ratchet with a shake of his head. "Another bug! The system's chalk full of them."

Arcee just looked up at Optimus.

"If there's any chance Cliffjumper is alive..."

Optimus looked at the medic.

"Ratchet, prepare sick bay, We may need it."

Miko ran to the railing.

"Hey! What can we do?"

Optimus watched them before sighing.

"Remain with Ratchet," Optimus told her while Snowstar almost cackled when both Miko and Ratchet whined before transforming down as the ground bridge powered on. "Autobots! Roll Out!"

Jack gaped at the door and vortex looking thing.

"W-what just happened?!"

"I transported them to the designated coordinates via ground bridge," Ratchet sighed.

Raf frowned, "What's a ground bridge?"

"A scaled down version of space bridge technology," Ratchet once again sighed while shaking his helm before e turned back to his computer screens. "Since we don't currently the means or the energon required for intergalactic travel."

Jack walked closer to the medic bot, "You're stuck here. On Earth."

Athena frowned watching him and looked down at the floor feeling sorry for them as it had to suck being trapped on a planet that wasn't your own. Especially when you didn't like the natives.

"With the likes of you, yes," Ratchet agreed with a nod before he moved back and looked to the still open ground bridge, "But, I constructed the ground bridge to enable travel from here to anywhere on your planet."

Raf gaped at it before turning to Ratchet, "Wow...Does it work for humans?"

Ratchet nodded, "Naturally."

Miko looked up at him, "You mean I could just shoot on over and visit my parents in Tokyo?"

Ratchet grinned, bending down to her level, "In moments. In fact, allow me to send you there immediately, all four of you."

Athena huffed and crossed her arms, slightly glaring at the mech while Miko leaned forward

"Watch it Ratchet," both girls stated surprising him.

...My Line...

It wasn't long till the team of 9 Autobots drove through the bridge and transformed with their weapons at the ready.

"Energon Mine," Bulkhead breathed as he looked around.

"Judging by it's scale the Decepticons have been tunneling here for quite some time," the Prime stated as he looked around as well. All of them hide as they all watched Decepticon Minors drill away at the Energon. "Let's find Cliffjumper."

All 7 of them walked forward making some of the 'Con Warriors that were there to turn to them with their weapons at the ready. It soon turned into an all out fire fight with Arcee using her speed to take out her enemies faster as Bulkhead knocked the drill off to the side and on it side. Both Snowstar and Jazz teamed up together to take their group of Decepticons with Hotshot get up close and personal while Snowstar used his cannons from a distance as cover for the Lieutenant of their little group.

...My Line...

Eventually the others began to get bored and looked around the base. Athena having stayed on the platform was looking at everything around her.

"What this?" Miko asked as she went to touch a computer.

"It's broken," Ratchet answered as he shook his helm. "Don't touch that... " She went to touch something else and he narrowed his optics at her. "That either."

"Is there anything in here we can touch?" Jack asked as he crossed his arms.

"Hey, Ratchet!" Athena called out as she saw one of the computer screens have an error sign pop up and the 'bot looked over at her to see that she was pointing at the screen making him sigh at seeing it. "How come you guys are using human computers?"

"It certainly isn't by choice," Ratchet answered as he looked away. "It was handed down from the previous tenants we inherited this former missile silo from. I make modifications as I see fit."

Athena and Raf looked up too see the entire screen fill with error screens before the metallic haired teen let out a sigh. She knew more about computers then she did about Cars when it came to technology.

"I think I can fix that," Raf said as he went over to the main computer and pulled out his laptop.

"Really?" asked Ratchet. "You know this is complex technology don't you? I mean, it isn't a child's toy."

"Now try," Raf said as he looked at him.

Ratchet frowned at the younger boy before he listened to him and turned around as the errors turned green with check marks before all going away. Ratchet turned to face Raf with an unbelieving look on his face making Athena to giggle quietly.

"Is there anything I should know about you?" the medic asked the other humans with Athena grinning up at him.

"My Father taught me everything I know about Cars," she informed him. "I can take an engine apart, clean it, and put it back together."

Ratchet hummed as he filed that away just in case he needed help as much as he loathed to admit it.

...My Line...

The Autobots all stood together now as what was left of the Decepticons in the mine gathered together.

"Maximum overdrive!" ordered Optimus as they all transformed and sped towards the 'Cons

Said 'Cons opened fired on them only to be taken out by the team work that they used before they sped into the main area where energon cups were being stored. Bulkhead let out a low whistle once they hide.

"What an operation," he breathed before they were fired at.

Arcee had been looking around for Cliffjumper while firing at the 'Cons.

"It's Cliff," she told Optimus once she spotted him. "I have a visual."

"We'll cover you!" the Prime informed her. "GO!"

Snowstar kept an optic on Arcee as she quickly went to Cliffjumper's side only for what was left of him to fall to the ground below. Both Snowstar and Jazz let out a growl when they heard an all to familiar laugh of a 'bot that they both hated just as much as Megatron.

"Prime," said 'bot growled. "I'll stick around, but I'm squeamish."

Snowstar narrowed his optics as they zero in on the object in the gray and red 'bot's hands before they widen.

"Optimus, he has a bomb!" he yelled in warning just it was dropped and the bot took off.

"The place is going to blow!" Bulkhead added.

"Autobots!" Optimus yelled. "ROLL OUT!" The 6 of them quickly transformed down and took off before Prime followed them. "Ratchet, bridge us back! Use the arrival coordinates now!"

Not long after the order was given, the ground bridge opened up as ordered and all 9 'bots rushed through quickly.

...My Line...

Optimus was going really fast and transformed, stopping before hitting the computers.

"Cutting it a bit close..." Ratchet told him. "What about Cliffjumper?"

All the Autobots looked away or at the floor, which meant a no making Asuka to frown softly as she felt bad for them.

"What was that explosion!?" Miko asked as she ran to the edge of the platform. "Was there a fight? Can I come with next time?!"

"MIKO!" Athena yelled as she slapped a hand over the other girl's month. "Can you get any rudder!"

"Look-" Arcee growled as she walked out looking a little angry though she was bit surprised that the other metallic haired girl had a good head on her shoulders.

"L-look, h-hey hey Miko, let's go see what the bots hide in their sock drawers," Jack said as he ran over and he pulled her away as she just rolled her eyes mumbling.

"Arcee, what did you see?" Optimus asked her softly.

"Not Cliff," she answered. "At least not any more." The two cousins 'bot looked at her sadly. "He was mutated. Burchard like something from those 'Cons experiment during the war."

"Arcee!" Snowstar called out when the other femme fell over as she and Bumblebee rushed over to her.

"I'm fine," she told them. "Just dizzy."

"Robots, who get dizzy?" asked Miko.

"Robots with emotions."

"Robots, who can die."

Athena was in awe at what she was seeing as she watched Ratchet run a scan over Arcee.

"What's this?" he asked looking closer at her hand.

"I don't know," the femme answered. "Cliff was covered in it. Leaking it."

Ratchet took a scalp and took some for her hand.

"Go take a decontamination bath, now," he ordered her.

Both Snowstar and Bumblebee helped Arcee up and out of the command center.

"Listen, Optimus, I hate to bug but no bars," Jack said as he held out his cell phone to prove his point.

Optimus nodded, "A security precaution. The silo walls isolate all radio waves."

Jack sighed, "Well if I don't call my mom, like now, I'm pretty sure the cops will be out looking for me."

Optimus leaned down to his level, "Have you broken the law?"

"Curfew. It's after ten p.m," Jack answered as he shook his head.

"I better get home too," agreed Ref. "Or I'll ground for a year."

"Earth customs," the Prime sighed. "I hadn't considered. The issue of your safety remains. Bulkhead." Bulkhead moved towards Optimus. "Accompany Miko home."

"Awesome!" Miko cheered as she jumped up and down. "My host parents will freak!"

Optimus still stared at Bulkhead, continuing his orders.

"And maintain covert surveillance in vehicle form."

"Curb side duty, got it," Bulkhead nodded.

"Aww," Miko frowned as she had wanted to show of her new robot friend.

Optimus looked at Bumblebee.

"Bumblebee, you'll watch over Raf," Optimus ordered making Raf to smile at Bee.

Bumblebee beeped excitedly as he walked over to him, helping him down to the main floor using his hand to carry the young boy.

Optimus looked at Ratchet, "Ratchet?"

Ratchet didn't look up from his machine, "Busy!"

"Arcee, you'll accompany Jack," sighed Optimus.

Jack rubbed the back of his head.

"Woo, still dizzy," Arcee sighed.

Ratchet raised his hand, not looking back at them from his computer, "You're fine, says your physician."

Arcee sighed and nodded, accepting the role as she had no more excuses.

"Snowstar, you'll guard Athena," the Prime finished up with his orders.

"Oh, boy," Jazz sighed while Arcee blinked.

The green and blue Dodgeformer let out a sigh while nodding her head as she knew that she had no excuses to give.

...My Line...

Athena let out a sigh as Snowstar pulled up outside of her host parents house before she got out when he opened the door for her.

"Athena," a female voice called out as the front door opened up to reveal a blonde haired and blue-eyed woman. "Cutting it a little close, sweetheart?"

"Sorry, Mrs Peters," the metallic haired teen apologized. "I was just testing out the new car that I got is all." She then blinked a bit. "Well, knew to me, but it's used."

'Nice going kid,' Snowstar thought as a man with brown hair and green eyes came up behind the woman.

"It's looks like one of those new 2010 Dodge Challengers," he told her.

Athena laughed as she walked up to them.

"Well, it only had one owner since came out and for whatever reason..." she paused to let out a sad sigh. "They just didn't like it so the old owner returned it to the dealership."

"Oh," the man said in surprise before all three walked inside.

'Not a bad lie, kid,' the hybrid thought. 'Not bad at all.'

She than fall into recharge though she had made sure that scanners were running at all times.

...My Line...

The next morning Athena rushed outside after leaving a note for her host parents telling them that she was going to go to the art store. Once outside, she climbed into the passenger seat of the Dodge Challenger that was waiting there for her before it pulled away from the curb.

"Where to kid?" Snowstar asked.

"To the art store where we first meet so to speak," she answered.

"Do you work there?"

"Yeah, but only the weekdays unless I have basketball practice, but on some weekends I volunteer," she informed.

The youngest Autobot hummed at that before she headed for the store to drop her off while the others with charges where hanging with them while heading for the base.

...My Line...

"Hey, kid, we have get to base," Snowstar told her in the afternoon when she came out of a restaurant that after refueling.

"Alright, Snow," Athena nodded before she climbed into her diver seat to make it look like she was driving the car while the Cybertronian and Fairy Hybrid let out a sigh as she pulled out of the lot and headed for the base. "Where are the two kids that were with we meet at?"

"Their with the larger part of the Autobot team that's lead by the Autobot's Second-in-Command Prowl," was the answer the young Andromeda got.

...My Line...

Athena smiled at the two 'bots that were already inside the base as she stepped out of Snowstar's alt mode. This allowed her to transform along with the others, who all arrived.

"We need to do that again!" Raf told Bumblebee once he got out.

"Sweet!" cheered Miko.

"Huh?"

Bulkhead reached into his cargo hold and pulled out a guitar case.

"Sorry," apologized Miko as she took it. "I must of left in the backseat.

Optimus moved past them all.

"Autobots prepare too..."

He then looked at them all as Arcee put her hand on her hip while Snowstar raised an optic ridge.

"Roll out?" she asked him.

"Remain here," Optimus answered with shake of his head. "Ratchet, you'll come with me. Arcee, we'll be outside communications range for some time so I'm putting you in charge. Snowstar, Jazz, I need you both to scout for energon."

"Got it Boss 'bot/Sire," the two colored mech nodded his helm.

Athena looked up at her as Miko looked up at Bulkhead.

"Dude, you're biggest, you should be the boss!"

"Uhh...he never picks me," Bulkhead shrugged.

"Optimus, with all due respect, playing bodyguard is one thing, babysitting's another," Arcee sighed. "Besides, Ratchet hasn't been in the field since the war!"

Athena let out a huff as she crossed her arms before walking off and leaned against a wall while watching everyone.

"My pistons may be rusty but my hearing is sharp as ever." Ratchet snarked at her.

Optimus sighed softly.

"For the moment, It's only reconnaissance," Optimus told her.

Arcee frowned as she watched them.

"Then why do I hear an edge in your voice?"

"Arcee, much has changed in the last twenty-four hours and we all need to adapt. Ratchet, bridge us out."

Athena watched as they both walked through the ground bridge and disappeared.

"Well, Jazz and I are going to get started on that energon scouting," Snowstar told Arcee. "Com if you need help." He then let out a cackle. "Have fun."

The two 'bots transformed down and sped off out of the base.

...My Line...

"You do know that Arcee is going to find some way to get back at you, right?" Jazz asked.

"Come on, Jazz," his old charge laughed. "I'm just following orders."

The Solstice just vented a sigh before splitting up form her.

...My Line...

Athena pushed off the walked over to stand beside Raf as Jack spoke up, "So chief, what's on the activity list?"

Arcee rolled her eyes, "I'm going on patrol."

Bulkhead shook his head, "But, Optimus told us to stay."

Arcee looked up at him, "When you're in charge you can call the shots. Bee, with me!"

Bumblebee whined and slumped his shoulders as he walked beside Arcee.

{Why me?!}

Arcee grinned,

"Bulkhead you're in charge," Arcee said with a grin before her and Bumblebee transformed into their alt modes before driving off.

All four humans looked up at the last bot in the room.

"Soo...What's on the activities list?"

Athena quickly covered her ears as Miko adjusted her amplifiers and speakers.

"Hoowww about band practice?!"

"But, we're not a band," Ref told her.

Miko laughed, "Why so anti-social, come on Raf, you play anything?"

Raf shrugged slightly before holding up his laptop, "Umm, keyboard?"

Miko nodded, "Laptops, good. Jack?"

Jack rubbed the back of his head, "I sometimes mess around on the harmonica."

"Do I look like I do country?" Miko asked with a frown. "Just cover yourself in fake blood and jump around screaming, you too Athena!" Athena glared as the Japanese female and watched her as she moved to Bulkhead, "Bulkhead, Percussion!" The metallic haired girl pulled out a new sketchbook that she got from the Art Store earlier and went to set down to sketch. "We're a band, you just gotta learn the songs!"

She began playing her guitar causing Athena to stop what she was doing just to cover her ears and wince in pain. Athena looked up seeing the green light, but it was to bad that the alarm wasn't loud enough to overpower Miko's loud strumming. However, it was a good think that Bulkhead saw it though he frowned.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Come on," Miko groaned as she stopped. "You can't handle the raw power?!"

Bulkhead shook his head.

"Proximity sensor! Quick hide!"

All four of them quickly ran behind Bulkhead's large feet as quickly as they could. And it was as soon as they did that the elevator door opened and the male from before rushed into the room.

"Prime?!"

Bulkhead blinked.

"Agent Fowler. Uhh...He's not here. Nobody's here. Except me of course."

He laughed a little nervously at the end, causing Athena to wonder if he could lie to the agent.

"Well where did he go?" Fowler sighed. "Wait, don't tell me, he's out pancaking a mini mall." Riku rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I don't know what language you bots speak on your planet, but Prime promised he would handle the Decepticons!" Athena almost groaned as Bulkhead moved slowly knowing that he was trying to keep them hid causing the children to scramble around trying to stay behind him as while. However the trouble was Miko's guitar was still plugged up and had no more slack. "Blowing a crater in the middle of Nebraska is not what the word handle means in English!" Fowler told Bulkhead with a frown before he heard the noise of the guitar and looked at the ground suspiciously before looking back up at Bulkhead, "So you tell Prime -" He looked back down as Miko made more noise by accident and he than followed the cord from his foot to an amplifier with Raf's laptop on top of it. "Since when are you bots electric?"

Bulkhead didn't know what to do so Athena walked out from behind him along with the other three while Jack grinned nervously.

"H-hey! How ya doin?"

"Contact with civilians!" Fowler growled as he frowned. "Team prime has really gone off book this time." He shook his head. "Wait, don't tell me, you're running a daycare center?!"

Bulkhead looked down at the kids.

"Uhh...okay..."

Jack shook his head, "Look, we're uhh...interns!"

The other two quickly nodded their heads to help back up Jack as Raf held up his finger.

"Student interns!"

Jack nodded in agreement, "Earning extra credit in auto shop"

Miko quickly added in, "Robotics!"

"Okay...Let's move," Fowler sighed as he walked down the steps. "I'm taking all four of you into federal custody for your own protection!"

He began to move towards them, but Bulkhead smashed his large foot down in between them before he could.

"We're protecting them!"

That made Fowler glare up at him.

"Is that so?" he asked as turned around and began towards a phone on the side of the staircase. "Well maybe you could explain that to my superiors at the pentagon."

Bulkhead shook his head.

"Don't use that phone it's-" the big guy said as he put his finger on the button, "-out of order."

"This isn't over big foot!" Fowler said as he glared up at him. "Now by a long shot!"

He began up the stairs and into the elevator as Miko made fun of him silently making Riku to smirk a little, but she was worried about what the agent was going to do. Bulkhead groaned and shook his head.

"Ughh..."

...My Line...

The light colored sports car drove quickly down the streets of a no car road with her scanners on high.

"Jazz to Snowstar," her partner commed.

"Snowstar here," the Hybrid replied back. "What is Jazz?"

"I've come up empty handed on my end," was the answer she got. "What about you?"

The Dodge Challenger gave a sigh over the radio link.

"Same here, Jazz."

"Should we head back?"

Snowstar gave a last sigh before spinning around to head back to base.

"Yes, let's head back."

...My Line...

Once they came out of the ground bridge, Optimus and Ratchet started to walk though the creepy canyon.

"Optimus, What do we hope to find here?" Ratchet

"The sight of the largest Cybertronian battle field in this galaxy," Optimus answered as he glanced at his medic.

Said medic scoffed saying

"On Earth?" said medic scoffed while asking. "You must be joking."

"Do you recall the period late in the war?" Optimus asked as he looked at Ratchet. "When both sides began hiding they're energon spoils off world."

"Of course, it's the reason why energon deposits exist on plants such as this one," Ratchet answered.

"It is also the reason battles came to be waged on plants such as this one, and I fear Megatron's memory is as long as history," Optimus told him nodding.

...My Line...

Athena raised an eyebrow as she looked up seeing as well as hearing another alarm and looked up at the screen.

"Ow, my ears!" Raf whined as he covered his ears.

Bulkhead looked at the screen.

"It's an S.O.S from Fowler!" Bulkhead stated in surprise as he looked at it nervously as the alarm stopped when he touched the screen.

Raf moved towards him, "Did you trace it?"

Bulkhead sighed, "Location scan was incomplete, oh well!"

Jack stared up at him, "Oh well? Seriously?!"

Bulkhead turned around, "Fowler's a jerk."

Jack frowned, "Wow! Whether you like the guy or not, the Decepticons may have him!"

"And Agent Fowler knows your location!" Raf said with a frown before he suddenly realized something, "O-our location."

"And did we not just notice how fast he backs down from a bot?!" Miko agreed with a nod. "The 'Cons will totally make him squeal!"

"Unless you wither the 'Cons know where the base is at?" Athena asked with a raised eyebrow a hand on her hip.

Bulkhead looked at the four humans with letting out a sigh followed by a groan.

"But, we lost the transmission!" Bulkhead frowned. "Fowler could be anywhere!"

"Maybe I can try to narrow it down," Raf stated as he stand down. "About five years ago the army started micro chipping their agents, you know like owners do with pets!" Jack and Miko looked at him making Raf to look up. "What, I saw it on TV!" He shook his head. "Anyway, if we can hack into the the fed's mainframe, we can maybe pinpoint Fowler's coordinates."

"You know how to hack," Miko deadpan as she frowned. "But, you're like two years old."

"Twelve, and a quarter!" Raf stated as he grinned up at them. "Latitude 39.5 and longitude 116.9."

Bulkhead entered them into the computer and activated the space bridge.

"Okay, wait here."

"Aww!" Miko whined. "Don't break up the band!"

"Miko!" Athena growled.

"Uhh, A-Athena, you're in charge!" Bulkhead told them before running through the bridge

"I guess we four got the run of the place...Miko?" Jack trailed off before noticing that there was someone missing. "Miko!?"

"Why do I feel like a babysitter with that girl?" the metallic haired and green eyed teen asked in a growl under her breath making Jack and Raf to look at her before both letting out sighs.

...My Line...

Bulkhead ran through the ground bridge and started to look around.

"Fowler?" he asked before he walked forward a bit only to stop just out sight when he noticed 'Cons. "Uh-oh. A whole Decepticon shebang."

Bulkhead moved to hide behind a rock just before a 'Con walked by.

"Alright," Miko's all to familiar voice called out making him to look over. "So, what's the plan?"

"Miko!" Bulkhead gasped before he placed a finger to his lips.

Miko blinked at him before looking forward to see a 'Con had found her.

"Oh, unwise," she mumbled as it hit her.

"Miko, get down!" Bulkhead called out to her as the 'Con charged up his blaster to shoot at her.

The human girl quickly jumped over the boulder that she was hiding behind to avoid the shot while the bulky green Autobot attacked it and the two started to duke it out.

"Hold him still," Miko told Bulkhead before she hit the 'Con on the head with a rock only to be picked up by her guardian and dropped off to the side.

She stood up rubbing her backside as she watched the fight between the two bots.

"Miko, look away!" Bulkhead yelled.

"But..."

"Turn your head away!" he ordered once again before punching a hand into the 'Con's chest.

With all of his strength he pulled out the wires in him.

"Wow," breathed Miko just as the 'Con fall.

"Bumblebee, Arcee, Jazz, Snowstar," the big guy commed. "Do you read?"

...My Line...

"Loud and clear Bulkhead," both Arcee and Snowstar answered.

...My Line...

"I have a situation," Bulkhead told them as Miko watched the 'Cons.

...My Line...

"Bulkhead, their just Children," Arcee stated. "Humans. Just do whatever." Just then Arcee and Bumblebee came to a screeching halt. "You're were? She's were?"

...My Line...

Both Snowstar and Jazz, who were both driving next to each other quickly down the road towards the base, also came to a screeching halt.

"Man, Bulkhead, Boss 'bot is going to be upset," Jazz told him with a cackle.

"Arcee, why aren't you and Bumblebee back at base?" the Dodge sports car asked before letting out a sigh at the femme's answered. "But, Sire put you in charge Arcee and he also to you to stay back at base in case something like this happens."

...My Line...

Raf and Jack got back up the platform after the young Andromeda went up there, kind of freaking out. Raf frowned looking at the two of them.

"What should we do?" he asked. "Bulkhead may not even realize that she followed him!"

Jack shook his head, "Miko hasn't seen the cons in action like we three have...She has no idea."

They all looked at each other before letting out a sigh before Raf typed away on the computer again.

"Those are their coordinates, their location is still locked in!" he informed them.

Jack looked at the other two before letting out a sigh.

"I'm going after her," he informed them.

"Hold, Jack!" Athena called out as he went down the larder. "What if Arcee or Snowstar try to get hold of base?"

Jack looked at the metallic haired teen.

"Let's go," he sighed without answering her.

Raf got down form the platform with the young Andromeda, who let out a sigh, and walked through the ground bridge that the young boy started up.

...My Line...

"What's taking Arcee, Bumblebee, Snowstar, and Jazz?" asked Bulkhead as he looked at the ship.

"Dude, the 'Cons could be putting the clasp on Fowler right now," Miko stated as she stood up. "Just storm the joint."

Just then they heard the sound of a ground bridge making them look over to see one open.

"Finally," sighed Bulkhead.

Jack, Athena, and Raf jumped out in the middle of a large canyon with Bulkhead and Miko up ahead a bit.

"Why don't those guys stay with their own 'bots," growled Miko. "This is our one on one time."

Bulkhead let out a groan as the other three walked towards them with Raf looked up at Athena and Jack.

"Woahh...Are your bones vibrating!?" he asked them.

They looked up and gasped seeing a huge ship floating above ground.

"You there!"

They looked up too see three cons pointing their cannons at them.

"Scrap," both Bulkhead and Miko cursed.

The metallic haired 17-year-old immediately pushed Raf behind her as Jack moved closer to her to better protect Raf.

...My Line...

After walking for what felt like hours, the duo arrived at a large open valley and what they saw was not a pretty sight. Rusted bodies sticking up from the ground, broken limbs and torn armor.

"For the first time in my life Optimus, I had hoped that you were wrong," Ratchet said.

The two bots look as the jet flew over to a cliff before transforming and landing on the top of the cliff. When the bots turned and they saw glowing purple optics and the Decepticon symbol on the bots chest, it to glowed purple.

"Optimus, been well?"Megatron asked. "I see you brought your trusty watch dog. I was certain he'd be convalescing in a scrap yard by now."

Ratchet took a few steps forward.

"Why don't you invite him down here for a chat?" he asked as he rolled his neck and he cracked his knuckles.

"I know why your here Megatron," Optimus said.

"Hardly a surprise Optimus, after all you and I have been at this a long time," Megatron stated as he then reached into his side saying. "And your time has come to an end."

He then held up a glowing purple crystal before he then threw the crystal into the ground it landed burying itself deep into the ground where it sunk the rest of the way in. The ground shook as a dark purple glow erupted from the ground and cracks formed. The cracks soon reached the bots making them take a few steps back as they watched the ground.

"Rise my army!" Megatron yelled as his body glowed the same purple glow as on the ground.

"By the Allspark," Ratchet breathed in shock.

All the two bots could do was watch in shock as the fallen bodies all rose up.

"Behold! The power of dark energon!" Megatron yelled as the undead army advanced towards them.

"Megatron has desecrated the resting place of our ancestors and his own," breathed Ratchet.

"Not even the dead are free form his warmongering," sighed Optimus.

"Destroy them!" Megatron yelled.

A few of the undead were blasted back when Optimus opened fire on them.

"Optimus if our combatants are already deceased how are we going to defeat them?" the medic asked as they backed up.

"Ratchet retreat!" ordered the Prime. "Bridge yourself back to base!"

Ratchet instead of listening changed his own arms into blades.

"No, I shall stand with you Optimus," the medic told him. "You may require a medic when this is over with" With that Ratchet ran forward and sliced two zombie-cons up, before noticing a limb that he had sliced off top glowing. "I recommend dissection, the smaller the pieces the better!"

"Sound advice old friend" agreed Optimus as with that he changed his arms into swords.

The two of them went to cut this undead 'Cons to piece though the Prime stopped to look at Megatron.

"I have master the power of Dark Energon!" the bucket head 'Con called out. "When you fall Optimus, you too shill join my army."

Optimus narrowed his optics before going back to cutting down the zombie-cons.

...My Line...

The 'Cons began shooting at them as the three humans dodged it though only the violet eyed teen seemed to have a better time at it. However, once she noticed that Raf fall to the ground both her and Jack rushed over to him before they covered him with their bodies. The three then looked up to see Bulkhead in vehicle form pull up to them.

"Get in now!"

Athena pushed Raf inside and got in after Jack. Bulkhead then sped away, dodging the attacks from the cons as he went. Jack looked back at Bulkhead as the blue haired teen got in the backseat.

"Thanks Bulkhead!"

"Yeah thanks!"

"W-what are you doing here!?"

The young Andromeda let out a sigh softly knowing that they should have stayed back at base, but they were there because Miko was being stupid and ran after the big guy.

Jack sighed, "We were worried about Miko! Have you seen her?!"

Miko popped up from beside the blue haired teen with grin.

"What's she look like?!" she asked making the older teen growl at her.

Bulkhead pulled up behind a huge rock, "Everyone out! And this time, please stay here?!"

The green eyed teen got out and waited for the others worried that Bulkhead couldn't take on all those 'Cons alone, however, she let out a groan when she saw that Miko wasn't with them. Before watching as Bulkhead subdued most of the cons, only too see Miko crawl out of his chest all she could do was shake her head with a sigh. They heard more fighting and shooting.

"Think they forgot about us?" Raf asked nervously making both Jack and Athena to shrug, but heard the familiar sound of bot footsteps was heard.

All three of them turned around slowly, gasping as they saw two Cons coming towards them. Well, that would be a no. Athena grabbed Raf and pulled him behind her as she backed up quickly only they were too slow and the bots captured the three of them and brought them on the ship. One of them had Raf in his left hand, Jack in his right while the other Con had Athena in his left hand.

"Bring them to the brig," the one holding Athena told the other one. "Commander Starscream is keeping the other human there."

Just then they all heard engine's getting closer until Bumblebee drove right into the two bots in his alt mode, throwing them all up in the air. Arcee transformed and caught the three of them, her arms linked together like she was carrying a huge baby. Athena let out a groan and winced, but grinned knowing that Snowstar was there when she noticed his alt mode. Arcee put them down as Bumblebee, Snowstar, and Jazz transformed and moved towards them.

"Bumblebee," cheered Raf.

Bumblebee leaned down before beeping at him.

{Are you two okay!?}

Arcee bent down to their level as well.

"Thank you for clearing the front door for us, but storming the Decepticon warship was not on the activities list," she told them making Athena huff while crossing her arms nodding, she was thinking the same thing.

Jack nodded, putting his arms out to the side, "Tell me about it."

They ran down the corridor before Arcee's arm turned into a gun and she spun out form behind a corner.

"Friendly," she told them when she was meet with Bulkhead and Miko.

"Hello," the big guy greeted.

Athena moved to stand next to Snowstar, but made sure to stay out of his way so he wouldn't squash her by accident while Arcee put her hands on her hips.

"You brought the humans, huh?"

"You try getting them to stay behind!" Bulkhead told her as he frown while looking down at Miko.

Snowstar let out a sigh as he looked down at his charge before looking at Arcee as she nodded.

"We need to find Fowler and get these kids out of here."

"He's in the brig," Raf and Jack spoke up at the same time.

It was then that a bunch of 'Cons came down the hallway and start shooting at them making the metallic haired girl to let out a sigh of annoyances just as Bulkhead moved in front of the kids, using his arm to block the attacks before shooting at them causing a minor explosion. Athena looked to the other side to see even more Cons shooting at them before she looked at both sides. The Autobots managed to kill the 'Cons so they all began running to the brig once again.

...My Line...

Optimus and Ratchet were still cutting down the terracons before they went back to back.

"Optimus, this prolong exposure to Dark Energon is sapping our strength," Ratchet panted.

"We can not falter now," the Prime told him before the two Autobots went back to fighting.

However, the terracons piled on top of them while Megatron with a laugh before the Prime managed to blast his way out of the pile and help Ratchet.

"After all these years Optimus, still at the top of your game!" Megatron yelled as the two Autobots walked forward with terracons coming towards them. "My Legion finish them!"

Both 'bots continued to fight their way to Megatron.

...My Line...

The 5 bots came to a control room and burst in, shooting all the 'cons while the four humans stayed outside in the hallway, peeking in. Arcee looked around.

"Clear!" she called to them allowing the four of them walked into the room, glancing up at the large bots before them. "Wait in here."

Snowstar looked at the humans not liking leaving them alone on an enemy ship and Bumblebee thought the same.

{Alone?} the yellow and black bot beeped at Arcee.

"They're slowing us down and they're easy targets," she answered while shaking her head. "They'll be alright in here as long as they stay put."

They turned their hands into cannons and ran out of the room, towards the brig.

"That was intense," Miko said quietly as she looked at the other three once the doors closed.

"Was?" Raf asked.

"It's your fault that we're suck in this intensity," Jack told her. "What were you thinking Miko?"

"Did I ask you to follow me?" she asked him.

"You wanted us to be a band," Jack told her. "Doesn't that mean that we play together?"

"Well, maybe I decided to go solo," she stated.

"Well, maybe I have some regard for your safety," Jack countered.

"I'm sorry," apologized Miko. "Is your name Optimus? You can leave my protection to Bulkhead! Thank you very much!"

"Aghh!" Raf yelled making the two of them to look at him. "Stop it! Both of you!"

He ran over to the edge of the platform and sat down, his knees to his chest. Jack and Miko quickly ran over and sat down around Raf while Athena walked up to them.

"Hey Raf, it's okay..."

Miko nodded, "Yeah, we're going to be fine."

Jack smiled at him, "Our bots will come back for us!"

Miko nodded, "Yeah, they're going to take us home."

"How do you know?" he asked.

Jack then looked up and saw a screen.

"Hey, Raf what do you make of that?" he asked making Raf to look up before he went down to the next level and stood in front of it.

"It's important..." he answered as he looked at over. "Real important...We need to get this to Optimus."

Miko looked at him, "How do you know it's not just some recipe for space nachos?!"

"I know math when I see it," Raf answered. "And that is one serious equation."

"Can you down load it?" Jack asked.

"I've got a flash drive," Raf answered as he pulled it. "But, I don't see any where to plug it in." He walked forward. "This tech is way alien."

Jack grabbed Raf wrist when they noticed a 'Con walking in, but he got out of the older boy's hold and run back to his bag. Athena let out a silent curse went to get him, but the 'Con had already noticed him this time though.

"Shit," she cursed as the 'Con pointed his gun at Raf

But, Athena ran over to the younger human, who was running from the 'Con wonder when both Miko and Raf really well stop getting into trouble! The metallic haired teen quickly tackled Raf out of the way while Jack rushed over to them to make sure that they were alright.

Jack looked at Miko, "Miko, take a picture!"

"Great idea," Miko cheered before she pulled out her pink phone from her pocket. "Hey you!"

She held up her phone and took a picture of the 'Con.

"Not of that!" Athena yelled annoyed at her.

"That!" Jack finished from the other teen as he pointed to the math formula on the screen.

"Oh," Miko breathed before she quickly turned around and took the picture with her back to the con.

"How stupid was she?!" Athena groaned in question.

However, after Miko got the picture, the four humans managed to run out of the room and towards where their bots were supposed to be. They heard a horn honking before Bulkhead and Jazz transformed while jumping over their heads and tackling the 'Con.

Bumblebee, Snowstar, and Arcee pulled up next to the kids.

"I told you to stay put!"

Jack got on Arcee while Miko and Raf got into Bumblebee as the metallic haired teen climbed into Snowstar. They began driving down the hallway until the two in Bumblebee heard Fowler before they looked back as he stuck his head in the front.

"I like pie, can we stop for pie!?"

"You found Fowler!" Miko yelled. "Rock on!"

Athena let out a sigh while rolling her eyes in annoyance while the 'bots all raced away from the ship.

...My Line...

"Bravo, Optimus," Megatron called out as the two Autobots took out the rest of the terracons. "But, as a prelude, you might want to save your strength for the may event!"

"You will not prevail Megatron!" growled the Prime as he started to climb up the mountain. "Not well there is energon still flows through my veins."

"Fitting," Megatron said when Optimus reached him. "For it is Dark Energon that flows through mine."

Optimus went to attack him only for the Decepticon Leader to take off before the Prime turned around and helped Ratchet up, who was holding his injured arm.

"If this wasn't Megatron's in game, what is?" asked the medic.

The Prime looked out over the old battle field that had been used by Megatron to test the Dark Energon before glaring.

...My Line...

"What happened to you guys anyways?" Miko asked as she looked away from Fowler, who was a gurney.

"We engaged an army of the undead Cybertronian Warriors," Ratchet answered her.

"Zombies?" asked the black and pink haired Japanese girl. "You fought Zombies and I missed it?"

"Bulkhead, you used extremely poor judgment in allowing the children to accompany you," Optimus said as he looked at the green Autobot.

Bulkhead looked at the ground, "It won't happen again Optimus. I promise."

Miko sighed softly, "But, it wasn't Bulkhead's fault."

"She right, Optimus," Athena agreed with her. "It was Miko's fault." She shot a glare at the other girl before letting out a sigh. "And in away, mine as well." She placed her hand on her forehead. "I should have kept a closer eye on her as the oldest among the humans here, but I didn't think that she'll..."

The Prime gave small smile to the metallic haired and green eyed teen as Snowstar couldn't help, but feel a bit proud of her charge for taking responsibility for what happened while Bulkhead frowned.

Bulkhead frowned, "Miko, Athena please."

"Watch it Bulkhead," Snowstar growled.

Miko, however, just grinned as she pulled out her phone, showing him the formula.

"Plus check it out, recon!"

Optimus bent down and examined the photo, "Hmm. Ratchet, take a look. It could be of importance to Megatron."

Jack stepped forward, "Wow, Megatron's back? That's really bad news, right?"

Ratchet bent down and examined the photo also, "I don't understand?"

Miko looked at her phone and laughed nervously.

"Oops, That's the Con' tried to hit Raf," Miko said as she changed the picture. "At least that's before Bulkhead rearranged his grill!"

Jack glared at Miko, "Miko! Raf could have been killed! This isn't a game, when are you going to get that through your thick skull!?"

"Wow, hey!" Athena growled as she didn't like the way he was speaking to the younger girl while Miko glared right back at him.

"Uhh, we were all almost killed Jack!" Miko stated. "You, Me, Raf, Athena! Even them!"

Miko crossed her arms, looking the other way while Jack huffed.

"Well, if this was just an average day with the Autobots then I don't want to be apart of it!" Jack said as he shook his head. "Not anymore.."

"Jack...putting you in harms way was never our intent," Optimus stated. "However, It is no longer the safety of you four that is at risk, but the safety of all humans. We will respect your decision if you wish to leave.."

Ratchet opened up the ground bridge.

"No points in long goodbyes, here's the door."

Jack sighed and turned around.

"Come on Raf, Athena," Jack said as he looked at them.

Raf looked at Bumblebee and he just looked at the floor, beeping sadly.

"Sorry, Jack," Athena spoke up as she looked over at Snowstar, who looked a bit sad at the thought of her leaving, before turning her attention to Miko. "But, I'm staying here with the Autobots and to try and keep an eye on Miko."

Raf shook his head.

"I'll be okay Jack," Raf told him. "See you at school."

Jack sighed and nodded.

"Sure thing," he agreed with Raf before he turned around and walked down the stairs only for Arcee to step into his path, her arms crossed across her chest this made Jack sighed, waving his arm. "I know, You don't exist."

Arcee turned away from him as he walked past her.

"Don't make me hunt you down."

After Jack had left, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Snowstar took the other three humans home for the night.

...My Line...

The next day, Athena let out a sigh as she got ready for the day knowing that Snowstar was waiting for her and the young Andromeda hopped that Miko well stay out of trouble, but that was just wishful thinking. Once she was ready, the metallic haired teen ran out of the house and quickly climbed into the Dodge sports car, who buckled her up, before taking off for the base.

...My Line...

Once the hybrid pulled into the base, he allowed Athena to get out before he transformed. The two of them were watching Ratchet talk about the Decepticon's space bridge.

"Optimus, I've pinpointed the location of Megatron's space bridge...High in earth's orbit."

Optimus walked towards him, "Out of our reach."

Miko sighed, "Okay so you guys don't fly, but can't you just ground bridge there?"

Ratchet shook his head, "A ground bridge has limited range. Stretched all the way into orbit it's vortex could snap and scatter us to the stars!"

"Since Megatron is likely in transit, I'm afraid we must take that risk," Optimus told him as he turned towards the entrance of the base. "Reaching the space bridge first is our only means of stopping him."

Athena looked up from where she was standing next to Snowstar when she heard Arcee's horn and saw her drive in with Jack. Anna grinned softly, she knew he would come back.

"Hey, Guess who's back."

Optimus nodded, "Autobots, prepare for departure."

Arcee blinked her optics in confusion, "Where to?"

Miko walked up to her a bit, "The final frontier."

Jack narrowed his eyes, alarmed, "Space? I thought they didn't have any way to get there?"

Bumblebee kneeled down and held out his hand, which Raf stood on as he lowered him to the ground.

"They don't..really."

Jack looked up at Arcee.

"Be seeing ya?" he asked as Arcee smiled slightly, tilting her helm as Ratchet opened the ground bridge.

Raf looked up at Bumblebee, "Be careful Bee?"

Bee beeped at him.

{I will...}

He then walked towards the entrance as Miko looked up at Bulkhead, crossing her arms.

"I'm so jealous!"

Bulkhead shook his head, gesturing with his hand.

"Don't even think about following me."

"Good luck," Athena said as she looked up at her guardian. "And be careful."

"Thanks," Snowstar thanked as she nodded while looking at her charge. "And don't worry I will."

Ratchet looked at their leader, "Optimus, if you leave me stranded on a planet teeming with humans I'll never forgive you."

Optimus nodded, "Until we meet again old friend. Autobots, roll out!"

They all transformed into their alt modes, racing through the ground bridge.

...My Line...

"Maximum overdrive!" Optimus ordered his team before they came out of the bridge in space. "Autobots, transform..." All 6 of them transformed into their bipedal forms. "And gravitas!"

They all landed on the space bridge looking though Bulkhead almost falls over.

"So, Megatron is packing enough Dark Energon to revive Cybertron's dead?" Arcee asked as she looked up at the Prime.

"And since we don't possess the means to disable the Space Bridge nothing gets in or out," he told them as they all transformed their hands into cannons.

"Well, what are they waiting for?" Arcee asked.

"I don't like this Sire," Snowstar added as she looked up at her Father.

Optimus narrowed his optics as he looked at them.

"It would appear that the Decepticons have substain some serious damage to their interstellar navigation system," he informed his team.

"Huh, that's my handy work," Bulkhead told him.

"Great work job, Bulkhead," the Prime praised. "Without the dish Megatron will be unable to aim the Space Bridge at Cybertron."

...My Line...

The four humans were on the platform beside Ratchet as he kept a com link up with Optimus.

"Don't the Decepticons know where their own planet is?" Raf asked as he frowned.

Ratchet sighed again, humans.

"Naturally, but Cybertron is many light years away," the medic told them. "To reach their target their ray must be astronomically precise."

...My Line...

"If Megatron went through the trouble of rendezvous with his Space Bridge," Optimus explained. "He must have an alternate targeting system. A remote one."

...My Line...

Ratchet snorted, "From what I know of Earth's technology, I doubt there even exists a single radio telescope dish on this planet powerful enough to pinpoint Cybertron."

"How a whole bunch of linked telescope radio dishes?" Raf asked as he typed away on the computer. "Like a giant Texas array."

"It would work," Athena agreed as she thought about all the science related thing that her Mother had told her.

"Zip it, nuh uh uh!" Ratchet ordered. "This is not child's play!"

Optimus' voice came through, "Good thinking Raf. Ratchet, have agent Fowler alert the array staff to the security threat."

"You!" Fowler yelled. "Soldier!" They all turned around too see Fowler still in the gurney, but at the top platform, pointing at them. "You're out of uniform! Put on some pants!"

He than fell back, unconscious one again.

"I don't think he is in the condition to do such a thing," the metallic haired teen informed Optimus.

"That may be a challenge," Ratchet agreed with her.

Raf went back to the computer typing away.

"I can't get past the array's firewalls," Raf told them making Athena to look closer.

"Those firewalls are impressive," the green eyed 17-year-old mumbled under her breath.

"They're too thick!" Raf groaned as he shook his head.

Ratchet scoffed, "You actually think you could keep the Decepticons out?"

Raf nodded, "Maybe, If I could get in."

The young Andromeda let out a sigh as she looked at the young boy.

Jack moved forward, "W-Wait, Raf, if we did get you all the way in? Like inside the building in."

Raf nodded, "I could log into their internal network on the other side of the firewall."

Optimus' voice came through, "The risk is too great. The Decepticons will be there, perhaps even on site."

"Optimus, with all due respect..." Jack told him. "You said it yourself that this is bigger than the safety of four humans."

Jack nodded along with Miko,

"Yeah," agreed Miko with a nod. "If we let the Cons win, we're fragged, along with everyone else on our planet."

"Raf?"

Everyone turned to the young boy.

"I want to give a shot."

...My Line...

"Here comes the welcoming community," Bulkhead mumbled as Decepticon alt modes came at them.

...My Line...

They were ground bridged just to the edge of the large array field. And once they landed, Athena held her stomach, groaning at how horrible it felt to go through one, but she noticed the other three felt just as bad as her.

Jack put a hand to his head, "That'll take some getting used too.."

Miko looked around and gasped, "Whoa..."

Jack suddenly fistened his hands and ran towards the building, the other three following behind him.

...My Line...

Snowstar glared as the Decepticons opened fire on them and the Autobots returned fire, however, the Dodge sports car former along with Arcee went to hand to hand combat when the Decepticons landed on the bridge while adding blades to the mix.

...My Line...

They got in the building and into one of the rooms with their computer in it. Raf was busy hacking into the system as Miko put her hands on her hips.

"Security sure is lax in this place.."

Raf grinned hearing the monitor beep once.

"I'm in." he informed them. "And so are the Decepticons..."

Jack groaned, "What?!"

"That's not good."

Miko stared at them, "How can you tell?"

Raf pulled up the diagrams, "Schematics, with the alien math we saw on their ship, but this time I can download."

Raf took out his flash drive and stuck it in the hard drive.

Miko watched him curiously, "It's gotta be the space bridge."

"The Decepticons are syncing it to the dishes, but I can also sync to them," Raf told them as he worked.

Jack stood up straight, alarmed, "Will they know?!"

Raf continued to type away before glancing a bit at the other boy.

"Even though the Decepticons may see that I'm in the system, but they won't see that I'm in the house."

The other three leaned closer.

...My Line...

"What's just happened?" Arcee asked when the bridge shook.

"The Decepticons are locking onto Cybertron," answered the Prime.

...My Line...

It was that the planet turned red, signaling they were locked on.

Raf narrowed his eyes, "They're locked onto Cybertron, but not for long."

Raf quickly moved the dishes back off Cybertron, trying to implement a locking program on the dishes.

...My Line...

{It stopped} cheered Bumblebee in his coded language.

"Yes, you are right Bumblebee," the Prime agreed. "This can only be Raf's doing."

...My Line...

"The dishes are heading back towards Cybertron," Raf informed them as he worked while letting out a sigh. "I'll just have to undo that again."

Jack leaned forward, "What will happen when the Cons realize that they're being punked?"

Raf shook his head, "It's only virtual combat, you know, like online gaming."

Miko nodded, "Yeah Jack, what are the cons gonna do? They're probably like, ha, a thousand miles away!"

"What is wrong with you?" Athena asked as she glared at the other girl. "Are you trying to jinks us?"

Just than they heard something mechanical and turned around too see a huge arm like thing above them.

"Ahh!"

"DAMN IT MIKO!" the metallic haired teen yelled.

It grabbed Jack and Miko in it's claw and threw them around the room.

"I'm not going to let them lock on again," Raf mumbled as he worked.

It than went for Raf, but the young boy got up and grabbed the flash drive, jumping down from the desk. He ran over to the other while Miko got an ax and tried to cut the thing, but the arm just knocked Miko into the wall again. Athena rushed over to them as well where she helped Miko up as Jack groaned as the arm just picked up the ax.

"You handed it an ax?!"

Raf shuddered, "Not good!"

The arm looked like it was about to attack before it began retracting out of the room. They ran after it only too see a Decepticon on the roof, about to take off. Miko quickly took a picture of it before it flew off unaware that it took a picture of them as well.

"Why's he leaving?!" Miko asked with a frown.

Raf looked at the cords and frowned, "He cut the hard line. The dishes are locked onto Cybertron. For good."

The green eyed teen let out a sigh before she pulled out her sea green cell phone and called the base.

"Ratchet, we need a ground bridge," she informed him. "The mission was a failer. The Decepticons have locked onto Cybertron."

With another, she hanged up, closed her phone, and placed it away just as a ground bridge appeared.

...My Line...

The Autobots all looked over and watched in horror when the Space Bridge activated while the Prime looked up at the sky in time to see a lot of Dark Energon sore over head and opened fire on it, but missed as it made it through the bridge.

"Arise my legion!" they all heard Megatron yell.

"We are so slagged," Snowstar cursed.

"So how do we defeat a whole planet of the undead?" asked Bulkhead as he looked up at Optimus.

"Optimus!" Ratchet called out over the com link.

...My Line...

"I'm registering a large mass in their space bridge vortex," Ratchet told him as the children all stood around him. "One with a peculiar energy signature."

"Dark energon," the Prime said as he understood what the medic was getting at. "Ratchet, we must destroy the space bridge. There's enough live energon coursing through it to achieve devastation but we lack the fire power to ignite it."

"If I knew how the space bridge was engineered I might find a technical way of accomplishing that feet."

Raf pulled out his flash drive, "Umm would Schematics help?"

Ratchet looked back at the screen, "Optimus, I must say the space bridge is our sole hope of ever returning to Cybertron, are you certain it's destruction is the only way?"

"I am afraid so."

"Then by all means, let us light our darkest hour!"

...My Line...

"Autobots, take your positions and follow Ratchet's lead," the Prime ordered as all 5 Autobots rushed off to do as ordered though the Prime's and Snowstar's optics meet for a moment before they looked away. Optimus turned around to see Megatron come at him. "While I make my stand."

"Your fellow Autobots are wise to retreat Optimus," Megatron told him as he landed.

"I make no illusion of standing a chance against your army Megatron," the Prime stated. "But, I might be able to derail it's objective, but by removing it's head.

...My Line...

"These things are getting closer!" Fowler said as they looked at the map. "That's bad right?"

"Ratchet, We're in position."

Anna turned back to her laptop and pulled up the diagram of the bridge. Raf pin pointed how to disable it for them.

"Arcee, pay close attention."

...My Line...

Arcee and the others all stood at the ready for what Ratchet told them to do under the bridge while Megatron and Optimus fought in the background.

"Now follow the line form the flow regulator to the Energon pump," Ratchet explained to Arcee. "There should be a valve."

"I see it," Arcee informed him as she opened it.

"Good," stated Ratchet. "Now to turn all that power against itself all you need do it is reverse the current."

Arcee put all her strength into it and managed to turn it on itself.

...My Line...

"Current reversed," she informed them.

Fowler grinned, jumping up in the air with his first up then pulling it to his chest.

"Yes!" he cheered before looking at Raf and Riku, "Right?"

Ratchet nodded, "I'll ready the ground bridge."

...My Line...

The group of five Autobots opened fire on Megatron, who was coming at them, when he fired at Arcee and sent her floating off.

"ARCEE!" Snowstar yelled.

Optimus, who was running, as the bridge fall apart headed for the edge.

"Optimus, the ground bridge is open and ready!"

"Autobots!" called the Prime. "Jump!"

He's orders were followed as all the other four 'bots jumped with Bumblebee grabbing Arcee as they neared the bridge.

...My Line...

"Do you think that their..." Raf made to ask, but stopped.

"Six life signals and one very faint," Ratchet answered as he looked at his arm were a screen was.

They all watched as Optimus stroll in with Bulkhead walking in next and Miko was grinning from ear to ear. She ran down the stairs, hugging his finger.

"Bulkhead!"

Next to come through was Jazz followed by Snowstar and Athena followed Miko's idea for once and rushed towards the light colored 'bot with a wide grin.

"Snowstar!" she called out happily while hugging her ped.

It was then that Bumblebee came running through with Arcee in his arms, not moving. Jack ran up to them, staring at Arcee while the others walked up beside him and Athena gently rubbed his shoulder.

Ratchet walked forward, "We lost one this week, by the Allspark don't let it be two!"

Jack frowned and moved forward, placing his hand on Arcee's larger one as he looked up as her optics barely opened.

"Arcee..."

"Jack, really? There are other motorcycles in the world."

Just smiled softly, "But, you're my first.."

Ratchet looked to Optimus, "And Megatron?"

"Not even he could have survived by ground zero."

"Prime!"

They all turned to Fowler too see him pull on his jacket, facing the elevator.

"I didn't get to thank you bots for saving me, I owe you one. We all do."

The door closed behind him as he went to the roof.

Bumblebee let Arcee down as she stood on her own. She smiled at the four children before Miko walked to the side, causing the humans to follow her movement.

"So, is this the part where you say goodbye and tell us we need to forget we ever saw you?"

Optimus shook his head no and smiled down at the four humans.

...My Line...

Without a means of leaving this world, we Autobots take strength in the bonds that we have forged with our young friends.

...My Line...

Athena headed towards the exit of the high school with Jack, ready to see her friends. They opened the doors and saw Miko sitting on the steps and Raf running up to them.

...My Line...

True warriors, if not in body than in spirit.

...My Line...

The four humans turned to see Snowstar, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Arcee in their alt modes waiting on them. Snowstar opened her driver side door while Bulkhead's own door opened as did Bumblebee's, and Arcee flashed her headlights wanting them to get on/in. They all just grinned and ran, either getting in or on their Autobot friends before they began driving back to the base.

...My Line...

My name is Optimus Prime and I send this message. Though we did not choose to be of Earth, it would seem that we are here to stay. To approach this planet with hostile intent know this...We will defend ourselves. We will defend humanity. We will defend our home. - Optimus Prime
