Back In Time

Enjoy! :D

The 4 Autobots peered over the rocks they were ducking behind, staring at the staff. Blue pulses were coming from it almost like sonic waves. That's when they saw it, Decepticons... Drift grabbed his sword from his back and only stood up half way until he was pulled back down by Optimus.

"We must not alert ourselves until we know what they are doing".

Drift crouched back down sword still resting in his hand. Only 3 Decepticons were there and those 3 were probably the only ones left after what happened, Nitro Zeus, a blue and black Decepticon that had the word punish on there fist that Optimus thought was really familiar but he just couldn't place a name on them, and...and Megatron. Optimus narrowed his eyes at him in tilting his head just slightly, the last time they saw Megatron was when he fell off the ship and they could tell he took quite a lot of damage because his arm was only attached by a thread. All of them scrunched their faces at the sight of Megatron.

"How is that dirty scum still alive?!" Hound whispered while shouting at the same time but not loud enough to be heard by their audio receptors. Then Optimus remembered how Nitro should have been dead to because he remembered seeing out of the corner of his optic Bumblebee blowing up is head so seeing Nitros still alive and in perfect condition would definitely make Bumblebee snappy and steamed up, just another angry Autobot to be added to his list.

The 3 Decepticons were heading to the staff and they seemed like they had no trouble getting through the strange pulses the staff was letting off and then they all remembered why they had came here, because the staff was letting if those pulses/sonic waves. When Megatron was in grabbing range with the staff that's when the Autobots got touchy they all grabbed their weapons ready to kill the son of a gun finally.

"They can not touch the staff" a small sigh came from Crosshairs then silence accured for a short amount of time only small thunder like sounds from the staff, and quiet thumping from the walking of the Decepticons.

"Give us a good reason why we can't just kill them now" Crosshairs snapped back gesturing his guns to the little trio. Optimus glazed downward for a few seconds not thinking about Crosshairs question but why Megatron was here. He snapped up his head and his optics narrowing to a loud shout of pain. All the Autobots snapped out of their trances and stared at Megatron then at Optimus.

"Really?" Crosshairs spoke sarcasticly then everyone was peering back at Megatron, his (only working) palm was wrapped around the staff gasping was air, Nitro and Barricade were standing just a few meters behind staring blankly. All the Autobots has their weapons on standby waiting for Optimus give them permission. The reason why Optimus didn't want to start a fight with them is because if they just kill Megatron and his servants now then they'll never be able to find out what they wants the staff for. Then it dropped silent and Optimus had several pairs of optics on him, everywhere one had witnessed Megatron rip the staff out from it place with all his might and admire it in his hands. Before he had done that Cybertron was slowly pulling itself back together but now it was stopped dead. Optimus pulled the sword off his back (that he also used to fight Bumblebee) but remained crouched and before he knew it Megatron looked like he didn't even has a single scratch on him, OK now they were all staring at Optimus desperately they thought he would of agreed by now since Megatron just took the staff and at the same time stopping their planet from repairing but all he did was watch.

"My fallen creator..." Megatron tightened his grip on the staff then turning to towards Nitro Zeus and Barricade who had shuffled slightly backwards.

"Shall rise" Optimus and the Autobots made there way quietly to stand behind Megatron.

"Brother" He smirked still having his back towards the Autobots. Optimus's face darkened, how many times did he have to make it clear? They were once brothers and that will never change.

"Once" he activated his battle mask and then it kicked off.

Drift was battling Barricade was definitely a lot harder then most Decepticons and he thought it would be a lot easier considering Barricade didn't look like he had any sort of weapons on him but he did have hidden ones that Drift eventually figured out, an extendible sword on the top of his wrist, a plasma cannon similar to Bees and he was also quite quick but he had his fair share of being slammed on the floor, Hound and Crosshairs was fighting Nitro and their special tactic was Crosshairs would hold back his arms then Hound would pound him with his minigun and he didn't seem like he was gonna last long and of course Optimus was fighting Megatron well not really fighting, they both had their hands on the staff snatching for it.

"Optimus" his comm spoke with Bumblebees voice at the same time Megatron threw him off of the staff therefore being launched into a tree.

The staff had been resting in a forest just underneath the broken planet but it had been restoring it and it didn't help that the part of the forest the staff was at was near the edge of a cliff so one of them (Decepticon or Autobot) was probably gonna get lunges off the edge fall off the edge.

Optimus took this as his time to answer then opened his battle mask to talk,

"Bumblebee, we have found Megatron alive and he has the staff" he tried not to talk to quickly but right after he said that he heard a familiar curse from who sounded like Lennox come from the other end of the comm as he said that.

"Do you know why he wants it?" When Cade asked that Optimus managed to stumble to his feet, Megatron started to walking away still clutching the staff.

"Quintessa..." he turned off his comm, straightened himself then up and ran up to Megatron. He was milliseconds away from putting is sword in his spark but was held into place by a electric chains extremely familiar to what Quintessa had done to him.

"Pathetic" Now he was facing him, he didn't have the red line on the side of his helm anymore so if he wasn't under control then why did he want to bring her back? Crosshairs jumped on his back and immediately started shooting him anywhere he could making him lose his concentration on the staff letting Optimus free. Hound threw a grenade right at Megatrons feet making him fall to one knee, then Drift jumped in leaving Barricade on the floor with 1 arm and a hole in his chest and further away was Nitro headless.

Everyone surrounded him aiming. Megatron had the staff still in his hand and the other was dangling he still remained on 1 knee. They couldn't tell if he was scared, nervous, sad or anything because of his battlemask was covering his hideous face but after about a minute of them surrounding him he retracted it and he was smirking.

"I thought you were pathetic, but not only are you that but you also show to much mercy" he spitted out every word then put his dangling hand on the staff as well and lifted it up as high as he could (on 1 knee) then shoved it into the ground. It was to late for any sort of a attack. The Autobots lowered their weapons and their mouths were hanging open of disbelief and annoyance. A screech/scream was loud enough to murder their audio receptors, floating right infront of them screeching and screaming in pain was Quintessa. She fell to the floor and silenced, her head lifted, her arms moved to hold her up as her gleaming, glowing purple optics searched the area, a devilish grin reached her as she spotted the Autobots she seemed like she was searching for something but before anything else could happen Optimus changed his arm into a gun and fired it at Quintessa, the missile was literally touching the tip of her nose and then she just vanished, sparks lighting the floor to where she once was, she wasn't dead they all knew that. Megatron was fully standing up with his battle mask on, one hand wrapped around the staff the other in a tight fist. He pulled the crimson metal sword from his back and Optimus and him ran towards each other. Their swords collided with a deathening sharp clang. They narrowed their optics at eachother, red vs blue, good vs evil and vengeance vs glory. Megatron received many bullets to everywhere but it was like nothing else existed but him and Optimus fighting.

A familiar engine was heard from just behind Optimus. Bumblebee didn't even stop for Cade and Vivian to get out he slung his doors open making them fall out (clearly they had taken their seatbelts off just moments before that) as Hotrod copied, Lennox nearly laughed at Vivian dusting herself off but just barely managed to only let out a snicker then he stopped at the sight of what was happening. Bumblebee and Hotrod were on their feet not knowing what to do. Megatron caught sight of the 2 Autobots and the humans and thought for a moment of how much of a unfair fight this was already 1-4 he didn't need it to be 1-6 plus the humans which he didn't really care about after all those years of being beaten by them. He was lost in his thoughts and was slung backwards his sword had been lunged to far for him to reach without drawing attention. He was sent to his knees by all the Autobots shooting that was going on to his back.

"Still pathetic?" Crosshairs snickered from behind him. Megatron tightened his grasp on the staff then aimed at Bumblebee and the others.

"Oh s-" That was all they managed to react with, Lennox swearing well before he could finish his sentence all of the group Bumblebee, Hotrod, Cade, Lennox, Vivian and Izabella were gone only strange blueish smoke left where they were. They all stopped and stared wide eyed again.

"NO!" Optimus shouted before slashing himself on knee to Megatron.

"Where are they?!" Optimus slided his sword across Megatrons throat. Megatron opened his battlemask to show him smirking.

"Why you!" Hound fired his minigun at Megatron but just like that he was gone like the others. Drift slashed his sword at a tree making it fall in seconds.

Damn it damn it damn it damn it, that is what they were all thinking accept Vivian who was screaming her head off. They were falling, really really quickly. Bumblebee managed to figure out where they were, Egypt. He turned to Hotrod who was quite far from him and was scrambling through all his gear looking for something that Bumblebee guessed was his time stopping gun.

This is gonna hurt, Bumblebee thought and then he realised he had been in the same situation as this before with Sam, Mikeala and the dumb twins and some other humans he couldn't name but this time he was fallingfrom really high up and not bouncing up from the floor like last time, if he thought that hurt this then oh then how worse would this be. Lennox and Vivian were to far down for him to grab and he only hoped Hotrod had actually brought his gun because otherwise he wouldn't be able to grab them either. They were getting closer and closer to the sand well it looked like they weren't gonna land on the sand but the Rocky Mountain next to it, he turned his head to see Izabella repeatedly shouting

"We're gonna die!!!"

"We're fine!" Cade tried but Izabella just kept repeating to herself the same thing.

"Yes!" He barely managed to hear Hotrod when the air going past them was murdering his audio receptors. He snapped his head to see Hotrod shoot Lennox and Vivian making them very very very slowly fall almost freeze, Hotrod nearly went straight past them but grabbed them at the last second and pulling them close to his chest. Bee snatched Cade and Izabella and pulled them close to his chest but turned on his back (which was actually pretty hard to do when falling nearly as fast as light which then made Bee think actually how high they had fell from so far) so that his chest was facing upwards.

Hotrod was starting to get really annoyed at Vivian's screaming, I mean he had her now but she still seemed like he didn't.

"Mademoiselle will you please be quiet?!" Then he finally had time to realise (just like Bee) how much this was gonna hurt, for him and Bee of course, the humans were fine. They weren't even gonna land on the sand! Him and Bee were quite far part maybe around 9 meters. He was holding Vivian and his gun with on hand which was getting kinda complicated, he moved her to his other hand while he put it back on his back allowing her and Lennox to see below them, now they were both screaming. He moneuverded himself on his side so that Vivian and Lennox wouldn't need to face plant the floor, he manged to get a peak at Bee both sharing worried expressions.

"We're gonna die!!" Just seconds before they were about to land Cade finally joined in with Izabella shouting,

"WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Then before Hotrod or Bumblebee could shut them up or because they were falling from what felt like space and decided be a bit nicer and tell them to be quiet a lot of pain hit them all most of all. Bumblebee let out a sad and hurt whirl while opening his hands to let Cade and Izabella free but they just led their dramatised, they really wanted to say something to Bee but couldn't form words. Bees right leg was folded to his side and his other was just bent sideways a bit. Hotrod lay a lot less further then he did in the air from Bee, his elbow had bent inward and his hand that he wasn't using was really misshaped and deformed well his fingers were bent and and his hand was facing backwards. They all led their in silence for a while until Cade got himself to get up, he walked over to Lennox and put his arm out to help pull him up, when he did he realised Lennox was limping a bit but felt like he should ask him about that earlier considering the Autobots were in a much worse situation, Lennox managed to get Vivian up (with her almost falling in the process) and Izabella got herself up but was leaching onto Cade.

"You guys ok?" Cade turned towards the 2 Autobots/saviours.

"Do we seem ok?!" Hotrod lifted his good hand up and gestured it upwards (him and Bee were lying on their backs) to who knows what. Bee sat himself up with one arm behind him holding him up as the other was holding onto his head. They all tried not to cringe at how much damage the 2 had taken. Bees leg was still bent to his side upwards, Bee reached out his arm (removing it from his head) infront of him to Hotrod, Hotrod grabbed it with his only good hand and sat up (his good hand now holding him up).

"Where the hell are we?!" Cade turned to look off the cliff just to see sand and more sand. Bee went to use his radio but only static came out, he punched his chest and still only static. He put his hands in a praying motion towards Hotrod.

"Ugh Egypt, you know you can talk right?" Bee just shrugged his shoulders.

"How are we supposed to get back?!" Cade started to rip his hair out pacing back an forth.

"We'll find a way" Vivian whispered in Cades ear.

"How?! We're stranded in a desert!" Lennox hopped his way to Cade and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"They have a plan, right?" Lennox turned Cade to face the Autobots. They just stood in silence. Izabella was snapping Hotrods fingers back in place and making him scream like a girl a lot. Then she got so tired of the silence and disrespect.

"You rely on them to much, they just saved our lives and now look what your doing, expecting them to do it again!" She shook her head slowly in disapproval. Cade look at at Hotrod and Bumblebee, Hotrod was looking sadly at him and Bumblebee just looked down.

"Your right, in sorry ok? It's just not everyday get teleported in the sky and nearly die" Izabella just crossed her arms at him. He sighed before speaking.

"Thanks, I mean it" and he did. Izabella smiled at him as Bumblebee noded at him.

"Ok but how are we gonna get out of here" Izabellas smile disappeared as she asked.

"Well how did we get here?" Vivian had calmed down but the heat did not help. A hologram came from Bumblebees eyes, Megatron had teleported them here.

"Great" Lennox wasn't that surprised, Megatron had already died twice and somehow managed a way to come back to life again like when he did with the cube and how he possessed Galvatron then Quintessa making him Megatron again. The worst part was Megatron or the staff wasn't here to get them back like they had gotten here.

"Can you guys walk?" Cade looked at them both seeing that Hotrod probably could but Bee probably couldn't.

"Uh" Hotrod glanced at Bee, Bee didn't even want to answer.

"We'll meet you down" Cade and the others towards the edge, Cade was first to start climbing down grabbing hold of rocks sticking out of the mountain, then Vivian, then Lennox then Izabella. They hadn't got down very far before Vivian lost her footing, Cade grabbed her wrist.

"Don't let go!" She was whacking her legs everywhere. Cade couldn't hold on, luckily they slid down the mountain not fell. They were both lying on sand. Cade was about to get up when Lennox fell ontop of him.

"Jeez you way a ton" his voice was quiet because Lennox was pushing all the air out of his lungs. Izabella climbed the whole way down and by time everyone stood up she was already there.

Hotrod got up (nearly falling off the mountain) and reached out his (good) arm for Bee, he stood up but fell right into Hotrod knocking him and himself off the mountain.

"What the-" Lennox spang around to see Hotrod on the floor next to them with Bee on top of him in a cross shape.

"We're never going hiking" Cade mentioned before jogging to Bumblebee and Hotrod. Bumblebee sat himself up leaning against the mountain with on of his doorwings bent in half, one of Hotrods doorwings were perked up and the other just wouldn't go up.

"Where to now?" Vivian put her hand above her eyes to shade them from the setting sun above them.

"Hey Bee weren't we here before? You know when Optimus was" Lennox slid he finger across his neck. Bumblebee face palmed then noded.

"Never mind, we used one of the NEST ships didn't we UGH" Lennox put his face in his hands.

"Well there's gotta be some at least a building in this place" a few seconds after Vivian said that Lennox lifted his head up and snapped his fingers.

"That village where we fought, uh, um, can you scan for it?" Hotrod was already on his feet scanning he clearly had a short fuse for being in melting deserts. Transformers are not from Earth and they shouldn't need any sort of internet or electricity to function, so why was Bumblebees radio and Hotrods scanner glitching out, even if they were in a nuking desert miles away from any sort of internet or whatever everything should still work just fine.

"This way" he pointed just to the left of them before pulling up Bee and putting an arm around him to help him walk. Hotrod was still trying to snap his other arm back into place but it just wasn't happening. To make things worse (and better at the same time) it was getting dark so if they didn't hurry they would never find this forgotten village but when it turned night it should also get a lot less warmer.

So it was night and it was pitch black but luckily they were at the little village place which sadly had no other people in probably because everyone was to afraid to come and live here knowing that a massive alien war happened here and that they was a (luckily) destroyed sun harvester next to it. It reminded Bee a lot of when Sam and Mikeala were at the top floor of one of these comforting eachother and trying to work out what the tomb riddle meant and he and the twins (Mudflap and Skids) were next to it, just before Sam figures out that the stars were pointing to the tomb Bumblebee had just been watching the twins argue over who had the coolest car mode. It was almost like he had gone back in time but this time he was with different humans and his brother.

Cade and the rest were in this one floor building which was made just like the rest, out of sand stone. Hotrod and Bumblebee guesses that they were all sleeping because how silent it had gone in there and the campfire they had noticed by the light from it glazing from all the holes in the building had gone so Hotrod just started throwing little stones at the sand and that's the worst part of not sleeping, you get bored as heck. He and Bee would've ran off and done their own thing by now but they were flipping trapped in a desert and

On The Other Side Of The World

"Great, just great, what are we supposed to do now?" Crosshairs was the least concerned about everything well that's what he acted like but a tiny tiny little part of him cared that the humans had just got teleported or killed (they don't know) to who knows where, of course he cared for Hotrod and Bumblebee well he didn't really know who Hotrod was he just kinda came with them and stated his name and yeah. Everyone just needed to process the fact that oh their back stabbing creator was just brought back from the dead, Megatron was flipping alive and their comrades, who knows what happened to them and it didn't help that Crosshairs was just stating everything that just happened and blabbering about it, blah blah blah.

"Right when things were going well" he continued while walking around the area.

"Oh shut the hell up" Hound stopped ignoring the fact that Crosshairs was just speaking gibberish and flicked a stray bullet at his face causing the 2 to wwe fight in the background, rolling on the flooring punching eachother like a bunch of morons.

"Optimus what are we to do?" Optimus was happy at least someone had their sane, Drift was eying him with the one thing he usually never really had, hope.

"I, I do not know" he wasn't looking up from the floor anytime soon.

"What do you mean you don't know? There's gotta be some way to track em or something" Hound kicked Crosshairs off him and stood up straightening his bullet belt.

"Our only way may be to get the staff and use it to bring them back" Optimus stood tall eying up all the Autobots seeing if they approved or what.

"What about Megatron?" Crosshairs snapped while stumbling up and joining the group.

"And that grasping snake" Hound joined in referring to Quintessa. Optimus grumbled then a haunted thought came to him.

"We will only hope that if they are alive, they are not in the same area" Optimus remembered that his comrades, Megatron and Quintessa had all disappeared the same way.

"Well we gotta do something about this" A annoying english voice appeared next to them. Hound and Crosshairs sparks nearly jumped out of their frames as they saw Cogman just standing next to them (Drift and Optimus are to steel hearted to get scared). Cogmans was just standing their with one of his eyes twitching with his arms crossed.

"When the hell did you get here?"

"Just a few minutes ago if your wondering why I came here also it's to get away from that blue pest"

"He has a point Optimus" Drift made sure to get Optimus's attention. Crosshairs raised an optic staring at Drift.

"That we should do something" There was a extremely long awkward silence then something sparked in Optimus's processor, he remembered when Sam told him how he, Mikaela, Bee and few idiots got to Egypt in the first place, space bridge well he said that a extremely old Decepticon apparently space bridged them there. Optimus didn't know where they were they could be in Egypt they could be in Paris they could be with Megatron and Quintessa... no he was not thinking that, he didn't know where they were but he knew this space bridgey thing could be all they got, but uh one problem no one he was with including himself even knew how to make a space bridge appear, Sam said that a weird portal thing appears in the ground and then it pulls you in and then you bounce from the floor and then boom your in a new place.

"Who knows how to create a space bridge" dead silence.

"Only the oldest of the old know those" Cogman was right and sadly most of the Autobots were about half Optimus's age anyway. Optimus grumbled. Some of the old Transformers were Decepticons and most of them were dead so that didn't help.

"What about you, you seem like a grandpa" Hound poked Cogman on the back he didn't budge.

"Says the chunky one" Cogman kept his arms crossed and a tiny tiny laugh escaped him.

"You told him that?!" Hound snapped his head to Crosshairs.

"Grimlock..."Crosshairs opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Optimus, he and Hound faced Prime.

"The only problem is where is he?" Drift didn't even need to make Optimus think on that he just put his sword on back (at last) and transformed into his shimmering blue and red truck and just went. Everyone did the same accept Cogman who was just sprinting behind them but he wasn't that far behind considering the rest were driving but I guess it's because he's a ninja, assassin weird robot he might as well be Usain Bolt 2.

"Where we going boss"

"Chicago" why the heck would he go there that place was literally a dumpster and now known as a no go zone because apparently the Autobots are dangerous blah blah, but it made sense in a way Grimlock had no where else to really go for starters and because there's plenty of things for him to devour there. When they found Grimlock and his friends they didn't even consider to think on how old they really were, but Grimlock was quite a lot older than Prime and there's a chance he might know how to summon a space bridge.

Optimus looked at the "We leave at sunrise"

Several Hours Later

It took longer then expected to find Grimlock but what could they expect, Chicago was a mess and everything was now junk and Grimlock just blended in but when they eventually found him, he was ripping a car apart by putting one foot on one side and ripping off the other with his metallic teeth. He didn't even notice he had several pairs of optics on him, staring. He was just seriously snacking on that car even though Cade made clear that he was banned from doing it, you can't keep a robotic T-Rex on a leash. It seemed longer than it how long it really had been, Drift was tapping foot impatiently and rest were also looking extremely out of mood for this. In reality it had only been about a minute and to a human watching Grimlock chug cars would be the most entertaining thing in the world but the Autobots no they'd seen this plenty of times before.

"Grimlock" after hearing Optimus's voice he removed his foot from the brutalised car (only about 20% was left) and faced the group, but his red beady eyes only focused on Optimus. After seeing he had his companions attention Optimus started to explain the last events including Megatron, the resurrection of Quintessa and the disappearance of his fellow friends.

When Bumblebee was taken by the Sector 7 a few years ago Optimus didn't choose to save him because he knew he would be fine because it was only the doing of humans but now this was different, one because it was Megatrons doing and who knows what he could be doing with them if he has them and two it wasn't just Bumblebee it was Hotrod, Cade, Vivian, Lennox and the little girl to and finally because he needed their help to if they were gonna end Megatron and Quintessa. Again. But his most important reasons were one and two.

"We need you to summon a space bridge to get them back" no reply as if he ever talked anyway, Grimlock hadn't lost his voice but he was to much of a warrior and a sorta knight figure apparently but maybe a simple nod or maybe he could just make a space bridge but noooo just awkward silence well awkward to everyone but Optimus as usual. Grimlock started deforming then reforming into his robot form and stabbed his spiky stick thing in the floor, he was more intimidating then he acted. He started to draw funky things in the floor that immediately Optimus noticed as language of the primes in the floor. The rest of them had a feeling they knew what this was but couldn't remember so the rest of them thought he was having a mental breakdown. So far their was about 12 and then he took a step back before adding the last one all of them in the shape of a circle.

Cade and the rest were all wide awake now seeing if they could... could nothing their was nothing they could do but they might as well look around see if they can find anything. They were all getting really tired they hadn't even walked that far! Just because the sun was just staring right down at them with flames that were like 38 degrees and even though the Autobots were mostly immune to most weathers, freezing, space, boiling but they were injured so their systems were on double time fixing themselves and keeping them from overheating but yeah the bunch of humans below them were probably suffering a whole lot more. It happened unexpectedly and way to quick for any screaming or blaming the universe for them going through to much. The floor just disappeared underneath them and they weren't falling, they just flew/bounced up from the floor. Bumblebees mind whizzed back to the first time he did this, with Sam, Mikaela and the others. It was almost like he went back in time but things were different, very different.
