Hey, everyone! It's me, and I'm back with the sequel to The World Needs You Now. I just couldn't wait any longer to put this up! I'm so bad at being patient, aren't I?

Now, what I plan to do is to go into more depth with the history of the Primes in this story. That'll be a subplot to the main plot. The main plot, as you can see in the summary, has something to do with Sentinel Prime. Now, I know you all hate the guy in some way, but do any of you like him in some way? Ironhide lives in this "universe" I created, so the murder of one of the Autobots does not exist on Sentinel's track record. He never had the chance to kill Ironhide or chose not to kill him (we'll find out once Mikaela/Twister talks to him).

I don't personally loathe the bot for what he did. Look at it this way; he loved Cybertron so much that he would do anything, anything, to bring it back. He was sacrificing everything he liked, knew, and loved in order to bring back his home. Though I have to admit that he was a bit of a blockhead when Optimus told him that Earth was now home for the Cybertronian race. He should have stopped right there and said, "Oh. Well, since you put it that way…" but since Michael Bay held the cards for what happened in the movie, he kept Sentinel as the main baddy and kinda screwed up that part of the movie. It's like making your grandpa a super villain!

Now enough discussion. I just wanna know your opinion about Optimus' mentor.

And here's the first chapter of this story. I hope ya like it!

Mikaela Cody Prime

1 – Taken – 1

A pod flashed a bright blue as it burned while it entered the atmosphere. It careened down towards the Earth's surface, falling thousands of feet every second. It crashed down in a farmer's field in northern Nevada, but by the time it was able to transform into a short, but lithe, figure, the farmer had drove up to the crater the figure had created. The farmer stopped his tractor and gaped up at the figure, who looked down at him in surprise. It muttered a few indistinct words of another language, before it made a sound similar to one clearing his throat.

"What are you?" the farmer asked shakily, still gaping.

The robotic figure crouched down in order to be more on the man's level. "I am an autonomous robotic organism from the planet Cybertron, or Autobot for short."

The farmer managed to swallow. "So you're an alien?" he inhaled slightly. "What's yer name?"

"My designation is Prowl." He straightened and looked around. "How far am I from the nearest human colony?"

The farmer, too afraid of being squashed by the alien—er, Prowl, didn't stop to consider the safety of the human race. He just blurted out the distance. "Ten miles from here, due east, is the town of Tranquility."

Prowl nodded thankfully. "Thank you, sir," he said formerly before he leapt over the man and raced off, following the directions the human had given him. The farmer watched Prowl leave before his eyes rolled up into his skull and the poor man slumped off of his tractor, having fainted.

I rocked slightly to the beat of the song that I was currently playing on my radio. I was driving without my holoform activated as I headed towards the Witwicky household. I wanted to see how the baby was coming, because it was due this month. Optimus and Ratchet had encouraged me to check up on her since I had gained some medical knowledge in the time I had been Ratchet's Apprentice. I'd know what to do if Mikaela suddenly went into labour.

Skillet continued to yell the song "Hero" through my speakers as I turned the corner onto the street the Witwickys lived on. I knew Mikaela was at home alone since Sam worked at the base for most of the day. She was left at home for eight hours of the day with only Wheelie and Brains to keep her company. That reminds me…I should do something about their perverted programming and Wheelie's swearing problem. We didn't need one of the baby's first words to be a profanity.

Speaking of the Minicons…

In the middle of the road, I saw Wheelie and Brains waving their arms to catch my attention. I applied the brakes and stopped in front of them before I activated my holoform and stepped out of my alt-mode. I knelt down in order to get down more on their level. "Hey, guys, what's the matter?" I asked calmly.

"We don't know!" Wheelie said in a worried tone. "'Kaela's just layin' on her side, moanin'. She says she's gone into labour."

I looked up at the sky exasperated. "Great timing, God, really great timing!" I said, seemingly to the sky. I got to my feet and crossed the street before looking both ways. I stormed into the house and ran straight into the living room, where I heard Mikaela groaning. I stopped and looked at her before I checked her pulse and temperature with my recently equipped medical scanners. Then I gently gathered her into my arms, using my holoform's superior strength in order to carry her. She cracked open her eyes and looked at me.

"Twister…" she moaned. "I need to get to the hospital…"

"I know," I said softly. "Just hang on—take deep breaths. Wheelie, Brains, and I are going to take you to Tranquility Memorial Hospital where doctors and nurses who know what to do will take care of you and your baby." And with that, I rushed outside while using an EMP blast to lock the door behind me and the two Minicons. I ran across the street to my alt-form and placed her into my passenger seat before I made my holoform appear in my driver's seat. The radio was off; the only thing I could hear was Mikaela's deliberately slow breathing in order to dull the pain. I glanced at her as an instinct urged me to give her a shot of sedative in order to ease the pain, but medic training overruled the idea. Pain was good in this situation. Pain told you when the baby was going to come.

I wrapped a seatbelt around the distressed young woman as Wheelie and Brains got in. I shut my door after them before I revved my engine and shot off in the direction of the hospital. I weaved through traffic as I comm. linked Ratchet's assistant.

::Jolt, Mrs. Witwicky has gone into labour. I'm taking her to the hospital. I need either you or Ratchet to come and back me up on this. I won't feel very comfortable with a strange doctor helping her deliver the baby.::

::I read you loud and clear, Twister. We'll both meet you at the hospital. We're leaving the base as we speak.::

::ETA: twenty minutes,:: Ratchet's voice suddenly said

::Thanks a bunch, guys,:: I sighed before I severed the connection. My tires squealed as I swerved around a minivan before I could accidentally rear-end it. I was still having trouble multi-tasking with my communicator and driving. All because I was an ex-human and humans can't change into cars and don't have built-in 'cell phones', aka communicators. And I had been a Cybertronian for months now. How long would it take to completely handle this new body of mine?

I whizzed by a pickup truck who's driver waved at me, but I didn't have any time to indicate that I had seen him. I revved my engine before I increased my speed, my internal GPS telling me that I was nearing Tranquility Memorial. I indicated and made sure I was in the left lane as the turnoff to the hospital came up. I turned and darted across incoming traffic before nearly crashing into a car as I rolled into the parking lot of the hospital. I parked near the front door of the hospital, grumbling because I had to wedge myself between an industrial van and a driver who didn't know how to park his Corvette Hatchback. "Slaggin' punks. There should be a designated Autobot parking spot," I muttered before I had my holoform appear on the passenger side of my alt-mode.

Quickly, I opened the passenger door and undid the seatbelt holding Mikaela in place. I then picked her up as Wheelie and Brains jumped out of the back. As I ran for the front doors, I closed the door. The Minicons ran ahead of me and pushed open the two sets of glass doors for me as I rushed inside. I was really grateful that the world recognised us as allies and were not afraid of us anymore.

As soon as I was in the lobby, I caught the attention of the woman sitting behind the front desk. "Get a nurse to get me a wheelchair!" I called to her as Mikaela began to get even more distressed. The secretary noticed this and ran to find a nurse and a wheelchair. She came back, rolling the wheelchair herself, though.

"I sent a nurse ahead in order for a birthing room to be prepared," the secretary told me.

"Good," I said with a nod. "Just to let you know, her doctor and his assistant will be coming to assist with the delivery," I informed her.

The secretary's eyebrows shot up in surprise as she helped me lower Mikaela into the wheelchair. She began to push Mikaela towards the birthing room as she said, "The Autobots Ratchet and Jolt?"

It was my turn to raise my eyebrows in surprise. "How did you know that?" I asked.

She chuckled, despite the seriousness of the situation. "They ran a clinic here a month or so ago. I peeked in to see their holograms teaching a bunch of nurses on how to treat various wounds and change bandages. You were there too, as the example," she said.

"Oi, you humans know more than I realize!" I sighed, running a hand down my face.

Suddenly, a hand came flying from Mikaela's direction and slapped me in the shoulder. "Hey!" I exclaimed. I looked down at her and rubbed my shoulder in offence.

"Hellooo!" the distressed human femme cried. "I'm about to give birth here! Get me to that birthing room now! And call Sam!" and with that, she gripped the arm rests of the wheelchair and began to howl with pain. I quickly scanned her to check on the process of the labour.

"The contractions are five minutes apart but the time between them is rapidly decreasing," I summarised. "We gotta get her to that room. The baby's comin'." I took the wheelchair from the secretary and began to run, pushing it faster. As I did, I called Sam. I quickly told him the situation as the secretary lead me to the right room, where several nurses, all female, were there, ready to help the baby into the world. He told me that he was going to be there as soon as he could.

I checked my internal chronometer and guessed Ratchet and Jolt would be here in a few minutes. But the baby was coming. A human doctor would have to deliver this baby. As the nurses helped me carefully lower Mikaela onto the bed, I felt Mikaela grip my arm painfully. But she sought comfort from me. Since Sam was not here, I would have to hold her hand. "Please don't leave my side…" she whimpered.

I shook my head. "I won't."

I was there for her the whole time. As the nurses assisted her and told her to push, I stood by her side and talked to her soothingly. But as the baby was coming out, she nearly crushed my hand in her pain. But it was no biggie. Let her take her stress and pain out on my holographic hand.

But the baby came out, and both it and Mikaela were fine. The baby was a girl, and was wrapped in a soft, fluffy pink blanket. I cooed at her as the nurse placed her in Mikaela's arms. "Good job, Mikaela," I told the young woman as the nurses and the doctors left the room. I walked over to the right side of the bed and looked down at the two. "What are you going to name her?" I asked, gesturing softly towards the baby.

Mikaela's ice-blue eyes were soft as she looked down at her child. I looked down into the baby's face and smiled. She had a small amount of brown hair that would surely darken when she got older, and a pair of ice blue eyes like her mother's. Who would she look like when she got older? Sam, or Mikaela?

"Her name is Ashley…Ashley Opal Witwicky. We…named her after you because you saved Sam…" Mikaela explained slowly.

My holoform's bright blue eyes widened in surprise. "But…you barely knew me at the time! Why…" my eyes narrowed. "Wait a sec…that's why Sam asked what my middle name was." I grinned.

She returned the grin before she looked down at Ashley and laughed softly when she saw that Ashley was asleep.

Before I could saw anything else, Sam, Ratchet, and Jolt burst into the room. I smiled up at them as Sam and the two holoforms quietly walked over to the left side of the bed. "She's…beautiful…" Sam breathed.

"She's…perfect…" Ratchet said softly.

"She's cute," Jolt said simply.

I left the hospital and began to head back to base. My work there was done. Mikaela was comfortable in the hospital with her husband and Ratchet and Jolt. I had to make sure that both sets of twins were behaving themselves or had gone and gotten themselves injured while I was gone. And with that on my mind, I unconsciously sped up, going faster than the speed limit. But then I caught myself and slowed down, and went the posted speed limit.

I came up alongside a tan SUV. I activated my holoform and looked at the driver with a smile on my face. She glanced at me nervously, but the little boy who sat in the passenger seat behind her waved at me wildly from behind his tinted window. I chuckled at his antics and waved at him before I returned my attention back onto the road. Yes, there were people out there who were still nervous of us, like the mother was, but then there were people who liked us, like that little boy. I don't think I'd ever get used to how diverse the sentient beings that I used to belong to were.

Suddenly, I spotted a police bike behind me. He was flashing his lights at me, so I pulled over to the side of the road. Even though I was an Autobot, I didn't get away with speeding. He must have seen me speed when I was taking Mikaela to the hospital. If we sped all the time, we would set a bad example for the humans who were just learning to drive.

I threw my gear into park as soon as I stopped, and then put my parking brake on. With my holoform, I stepped out of my alt-form and walked down the length of before I faced the police officer who pulled me over.

"What can I do for you, officer?" I asked formerly as I crossed my arms.

"You were heading to the hospital approximately two hours ago. Did you know how fast you were going?" he asked my gruffly, looking at me critically from behind a pair of dark aviator glasses.

I winced. If I had been really speeding, I'd have to report it to Director Mearing and Optimus Prime. They would not be pleased. "Um…no?"

The police officer cleared his throat sternly. "I clocked you going one hundred and fifty kilometers an hour." I winced again. "May I ask why you were going that fast, young lady?"

Why was he treating me like I was normal girl driving her car? Couldn't he see that I was an Autobot? My eyes were Autobot blue. He should have been able to tell, even though my Autobot symbol was hidden in the center of my hubcaps.

"A friend of mine was about to give birth, so I had to get to the hospital as fast as I could," I explained.

The police officer started to write that down on a notepad he seemingly pulled out of nowhere. "Did she get to the hospital on time?" he asked.

I nodded. "Yes, but just barely. The baby was ready to come out as soon as she was lying down. …Why am I telling you this?" I glared at him. He tried to suck me into a comfortable conversation before he gave me a ticket. He saw the glare I was giving him, and a corner of his moustache twitched when he showed a small smile.

After a few minutes of silence, the police officer handed me a ticket. I looked at the number written on the ticket sourly before I looked up into the police officer's face. "Don't make me pay this ticket," I growled. I clenched the fist holding the ticket, making it crinkle. "The government wouldn't want me to bring this ticket to them."

Suddenly, the police officer fizzled out of existence in a blue flash of light, and the bike suddenly transformed into a mech a foot taller than I was in robot mode. My eyes widened at this. "You will pay the fine!" the mech commanded, crouching down so he could get in my face.

I huffed, knowing that he was only trying to intimidate me into paying the fine; I smirked and crossed my holoform's arms. I glanced up at the mechs blue optics before I deactivated my holoform and transformed. But just as I finished transforming, and before I could even online my optics, I felt the mech tackle me to the ground. I cried out in surprise and made sure my wings were not going to get crushed as I crashed into the ground. Fighting on the side of the road, really?

Onlining my optics, I looked up at the mech who was pinning me down with a knee just under my chest. "State your designation and faction, Cybertronian," the mech commanded calmly.

Gee, I had been tackled and pinned by a mech that turned into a vehicle smaller than my alt-mode. I wanted to feel offended, but I couldn't manage to. So, with a sigh, I answered his command. "Designation: Twister. Faction: Autobot." With a huff, I said, "How could you not tell? I'm radiating a signature that basically screams Autobot, and I've got an Autobot symbol on my hubcaps and on my right shoulder! I'm a good guy!"

The mech got off of me silently and took a few steps back. I got to my feet slowly, a few of my backplates creaking. The mech looked away from me. "I am terribly sorry. I did not realize. My scanners are offline," he said.

I brushed some of the dirt off of my armor. "No problem," I said with a smile. I looked at him. "I would like to know your designation, though."

"My designation, when translated into this planet's dominant language, is 'Prowl'. I am an Autobot, and Optimus Prime's Second in Command. I have not been able to join up with the rest of the Autobots because my scanners were damaged when I crashed into this planet's surface," he explained.

I nodded. "It's understandable, Prowl. I'll be able to take you to Optimus."

He smiled slightly. "Thank you."

"Come on then," I said and prepared to transform. But the sound of an alien jet engine caused me to stop. I straightened and looked up towards the source of the sound. I gasped when I saw that it was a familiar Cybertronian jet.

It flew down towards us and transformed. My optics widened at the sight of the Decepticon leader, but I didn't have a chance to say much. "You are coming with me," Megatron growled before he grabbed me. I screamed and struggled against huge mech's grip, but he swiftly punched me in the helm and everything went black.

I love to torture my characters sometimes. I wonder what will happen to Twister? Did you like the fact that Prowl's here?
