Hi guys! We're back with another chapter of Another Type of Star. Honestly this would have been up last night...and it is my fault. I was waiting for the last part of the chapter and I fell asleep. So if you blame anyone, blame me.

Chapter 2
Let It Go
Jack/Ultimus Prime POV
The imposter held his hand out in greeting me. The entire base was filled with tension. Like we were balanced on the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and all heck would break loose.
I glared at the outstretched hand, then back to the intruder's face, and back at the hand like it was a dead fish, or a terrocon's hand. I narrowed my eyes, scowling at the intruder with my face. Ugh, it was like me discovering my family all over again!
"Why did you hurt my sister?" I asked, calmly, but I still heard a little anger in my own voice.
The other guy dropped his hand.
"To be fair, she attacked me first… With a sword," he said in defense.
"This true?" I asked my sister via sibling bond.
"I blacked out, I dunno what I did exactly,"
Ah, he must have triggered her Berserker shut down. So he had to have done something to her.
I gave him a questioning look.
"Okay, I may have said a few harsh words," he admitted.
"He called me a mechanical freak and MECH's failed experiment,"
My frown deepened as I glared at him.
"But to be fair most of this," he said motioning to the Base and 'Bots, "either doesn't exist or hasn't happened in my dimension,"
You'll have to do better than that bud.
"Explain," I growled, "now!"
The other guy raised his hands in defense.
"Okay, long story short, I'm you from another dimension got accidently sent here and freaked out when I saw through your mother's Legacy," he said quickly.
Another dimension…like Dusk? But…wait…he saw through Mom's guise…that means…
"So you threatened my mother too!?" I demanded.
"It was all a big miscommunication, I didn't mean to hurt your sister or threaten Elita," he explained.
Didn't mean to, but that still made no excuse. He hurt my family.
Dusk POV
"Give me one good reason I shouldn't crush you under my foot," Jack growled, eyes bright electric blue and the edges of his form flickering and blurring.
"Because you do and I'll break it," Kal retorted.
"Ha!" Jack snorted, "I'd like to see you try,"
"Jack," I warned, "I wouldn't,"
"He hurt you!" Jack snarled, turning to face me, "And you…"
"STOP!" I shouted, "Jack, I've put you flat on your back before This guy beat the scrap out of Starscream with his own servo!"
He rolled his eyes and turned back to Kal.
"Amber took out Starscream's optics and his own arm in under three minutes," Jack stated, "I've taken on Draconus. This...intruder...doesn't frighten me,"
Kal shrugged.
"It's not the first time I've taken on the seeker, just glad he put up more of a fight this time. Really the cons have to stop underestimating me, Soundwave and Knockout learned that the hard way," he said calmly.
A cough interrupted the feuding boys and Kal turned to face Sean.
"Hi," Sean said, "name's Sean, and what did you mean by Soundwave and Knockout learned the hard way not to underestimate you?"
"Simple," Kal replied, shrugging, "Soundwave tried to kill me, Miko and Raf, I ripped his tendril off and broke his foot. Knockout kidnapped Vince, I ripped his door off and threw him into the canyon wall. He was a fast driver, but I run faster,"
Huh, both Jack and I know how fast Knockout goes. Pit, Jack raced against the 'Con medic…and put a scratch in his paint, which was funny to say the least.
"Maybe he needs to take his pride down a few notches," Jack growled softly in the Prime's language, "And I'll be happy to do it…"
Dad and I both glared at him.
"Don't even think about it," I replied, "He took me down in my rage…he will squish you like a bug, little brother,"
Ben POV
I watched the heated argument between the three Primes, listening to the low synthesized booms and word-like tones that comprised the Primes' Language. It was unique in the fact that only Primes could speak it and that it always conveyed what the Prime was feeling.
Jack's anger and mistrust of the intruder (which I totally understood, he hurt my Dusk!) gave his words a harsh, extremely metallic and staticky undertone. Dusk's warning and worry for Jack gave a heartbreaking quality to her words, her music-sounding Cybriean accent coming in thick and strong. Optimus' disapproval and reprimand gave his voice a sharp tone, almost like glass.
I saw Jack shrink down just a bit, but the fire in his eyes was undiminished.
"What's going on?" the intruder asked.
"They're…talking," Sean started, trying to smooth down the fight a bit.
Those three almost never fought, the last time Jack and Optimus fought was when the Star Saber came into play the first time. Dusk said it ended with both Primes losing their tempers and storming off.
"Talking," the intruder asked, unconvinced.
"They're making noises and they are interacting by what the others said," I growled, looking at the intruder, "Of course they're talking,"
The intruder didn't look amused.
I ignored him and watched the three Primes.
Jack/Ultimus Prime POV
"You guys are seriously going to let him stay here after what he did?" I demanded.
"What do you expect?" Dusk asked.
"He is alone, Ultimus, the only one of his kind here. If you were thrown into his universe, what would you do?" Dad asked.
"Which is not going to happen," I snorted, "What would you know about that anyway?"
Dusk's face and eyes darkened.
"You forget, don't you," she said, shaking her head, "I connect with him…more than you know,"
I felt a weight settling in my spark. I'm such an idiot.
"He's not like you," I muttered out loud.
Amber POV
Listening to the three of them arguing wasn't a pleasant experience.
Ratchet had told us once that if a normal 'Bot spoke the Primes' Language, it burnt out their vocal unit. Apparently hearing it, especially when it escalated, hurt too. Jack's voice came out with more intensity, making my head throb, Dusk made it worse, her voice was so low that it shook my bones.
"He's not like you," I heard Jack say in English.
Kal looked a little confused.
"What's he mean?" he asked.
"Dusk…" Amber started, "Let's just say, Kal…she's a lot like you."
Kal looked at me, eyebrow raised.
"Just like you, Dusk isn't from our Universe either," I explained, "She's from one that mirrors this one. Everyone here, except for a few present, has what's been called a Counterpart. Prime over there has one called Tomosal Ivorra, an Ivorra is a Prime in Dusk's terms. Tomosal is Dusk's great uncle."
"I'm still confused," Kal replied, "If she's from another dimension, like me, why is she here?"
"That's the thing," I replied, "They never really explained it to Ben or Sean or me. All I know is that both sides of her race want her. Badly. And they'll do anything to get her."
Kal winced as the three resumed their argument in the Prime's language. He turned towards them, looking incredibly guilty.
He cleared his throat, and the result was an echoing cough that caught everyone's attention, including Jack.
Jack/Ultimus Prime POV
"What?" I growled.
The intruder took in a deep breath.
"Look, Ultimus, I realize that you're angry with me and you have every right to be. If someone had attacked my family and showed up in what's basically my home with no remorse for what he'd done, I'd probably leave him on the moon," he paused, gauging my reaction.
I gave him nothing.
"That said, I truly do feel terrible for what I said and did to your family. It was an immense overreaction on my part and will likely be added to the list of nightmares I suffer from. However, if you want me to leave, all you have to do is ask and I'll never bother you or your family again," the imposter stopped and stood there waiting for an answer from me
Nightmares, he suffered too? I remember what Aralt told me about them from my sessions with him. They were there for a reason and there was nothing I could do about them, sadly. The Primes wished to show me something…or I was being reminded of what had happened so that it won't ever happen again.
I felt eyes and optics on me…and realized, I was the judge and jury here. I was the only one who was really angry at him…other than Ben.
I looked over to my sister's boyfriend, who gave a hesitant nod.
"Fine, you can stay," I sighed begrudgingly.
The imposter, Kal, Jack, his name is Kal, perked up immediately and opened his mouth to speak.
"But," I cut him off.
He froze.
"If you ever threaten or harm my family again…I will personally escort you out of here. And you will not like it." I threatened coldly, "I don't care how strong they say you are,"
Kal just nodded.
"That's fair enough,"
Dusk POV
I let out the breath I was holding.
"World peace at last," I heard Sean mutter earning him a glare from my baby brother.
Kal shifted on his feet.
"Optimus, there wouldn't happen to be a changing room around here would there?" he asked.
Dad nodded.
"There is a room on that platform," he answered pointing to a platform across the hangar roughly thirty feet above the ground.
"Thanks," Kal said and with minimal effort leapt from where he was standing onto the platform with a quiet thud, knees bent to absorb the impact.
"Huh, well what do you know, he flies," Jack stated, still watching Kal as the others gasped, "Or rather, jumps kinda high,"
"What is wrong with you?" I asked, looking at him.
Jack rubbed his left arm, his scars, a habit I noticed that he had developed over the years.
"I don't trust him,"
"He didn't trust us when he first came here," I answered, "But he let us in, you need to be a mech and apologize,"
"I will do no such thing,"
"You will," I growled, pinning him down with a glare, "You will apologize and it will be before we all go to sleep,"
I poked him in the chest, hard, he stumbled.
"Got it?" I snapped.
"Fine," Jack muttered, "But don't expect us to get all buddy-buddy. He still hurt you and that's something I can't get over easily."
"Just try to be nice to him? And I can handle myself,"
"No you can't!"
"Unless you forget, who was the one who saved your sorry hide from Draconus the first time you met him?" I reminded him.
"You," he mumbled.
"That's right, and if I can stand up to Count Drakkie all by myself, with an overloading spark, what makes you think I'm defenseless?"
"I didn't…I mean…agh!" he growled, throwing his hands up in the air, "I'll apologize."
"If it makes you feel any better," I added, "He did give me permission to get back at him,"
Jack looked at me in disbelief.
"He didn't!"
"He did,"
He grinned.
"He has no idea what you can do…never mess with someone who was taught by the best," Jack chuckled, "I just have one question…"
"What?"
"How can I help?"
Jack/Ultimus Prime POV
I went into the training room to clear my head and unsheathed Adoritar, activating the holograms for fight.
"Set it to Draconus level," I ordered the computer.
The hologram of my cousin appeared and I immediately transformed, setting my pedes.
I charged, swinging and slashing my sword, carving bright electric blue gashes through the mesh of the hologram.
Fire coursed through me and I attacked again, slashing, parrying, lunging and retreating, a deadly dance between blades.
The hologram dropped to the ground and I still went on…until the hologram fizzled out.
"Hand-to-hand," I called out, transforming into my human form.
A black garbed figure fizzled into existence, coming at me with blinding speed.
I ducked and sprang back up, keeping my fists up as the hologram continued to force me to back up. I wasn't stalling…I was watching.
I noticed that there was a 3.598 second delay in the hologram's timing between rearing back, and striking.
Ugh, Ratchet, you'd think that after I'd disabled so many of these things you'd fix that little detail.
I struck, blocking the hit, then kneeing the hologram in the stomach. I elbowed it between the shoulder blades. I picked it up and rammed it into the floor, causing a few cracks. The hologram staggered back up after a few seconds on the floor.
I gave a loud yell sending a crushing, two fisted blow into the hologram's chest and sending it rocketing across the training room, slamming into the wall where it fizzled out.
I stopped, breathing hard as I wiped the sweat from my forehead.
I still didn't like the newcomer, Kal, but I made a promise to Dusk. I'd try to be nice. I honestly would. Didn't mean it was going to be easy.
Sean POV
"Well, look who's back!" Amber smiled as Kal came into the room…wearing Jack's normal attire, "Hi, Kal!"
"I think you mean, hi Kal and Jack," I pointed out, watching as our Jack came in at the same time…wearing the same thing…
The doppelgangers looked at each other.
"One of us is going to have to change," Kal, I think, stated, "And this is all I have,"
"It's not gonna be me," the other said, "Besides, you have that spandex you were wearing earlier,"
"What makes you think I'm going to be the one who changes?"
"You're the new guy,"
Ah, that's Jack.
"So?" Kal asked, "You think…"
"If you boys don't knock it off," June threatened, coming up to both of them, "I'll have Amber pick something out for you,"
Jack's eyes flashed in fear as he backed up, no doubt remembering the pool party…in which we had to get the 'Bots new suits.
"Th-that won't be necessary," Jack stuttered.
"Are you saying I have bad taste?" Amber demanded, turning around to face him.
"Wha…no!" Jack said quickly as Amber glared at him.
"Jack, I suggest you shut up now," Dusk stated, turning back to the video game Amber and I were supposed to be playing…
I took my advantage and wrecked Amber's car.
Amber jumped, twisting around with a look of shock on her face.
"SEAN!" she wailed, smacking me upside the head.
"Ow!" I yelped, "What the bloody Pit was that for?"
She hit me again.
"Language!" she snapped.
"…Now go get changed," I heard June order.
Jack/Ultimus Prime POV
"Well?" Mom asked as Amber turned around to reprimand Sean, "Do I have to get Amber to get you both new outfits?"
"No!" Kal and I both shouted.
"Good," Mom said smugly, "Now go get changed,"
"Yes, Mom," I mumbled right as I heard Kal mutter "Yes, Elita,"
"So I see we both have the same taste, huh?" I asked, looking at him sideways as we went down the hall.
"I guess," Kal replied warily.
"I'm not going to bite your head off," I sighed shaking my head.
"Just a few hours ago it seemed like you wanted to take more than just my head off,"
"When your family's in danger, something just seems to snap inside of you," I explained, "I'm sure you feel that way towards Mo…I mean, your June and everyone else you care about,"
Kal fell silent for a moment before responding, "You are right in ways you don't understand. Even with all my strength all my abilities… I'm still not strong enough to control them,"
I…don't follow, and I think my confusion showed.
"I'm not sure if Dusk told you or not, but my list of powers is extensive, Miko even labeled me 'Superboy' if you can believe it," he said.
I can see that.
"But, not abusing them keeping myself from hurting or even killing others takes self-control, self-control I'm afraid I don't have. With your sister, the moment I figured out this wasn't my dimension I was afraid I'd caused serious damage to her. Seeing she was okay lifted a serious weight off my shoulders," Kal finished.
"I can understand that," I replied, "When I first found out I wasn't human, that I was the son of Optimus Prime… I just ran. I didn't…I couldn't accept that kind of responsibility. When I first changed to robot mode it terrified me, I felt like some sort of freak. I hid from my mom until Alpha Trion convinced me otherwise and gave me my title,"
Kal's brow furrowed and he looked at me, confusion evident in his face.
"You didn't know you weren't human at first?" he asked.
"Well, no," I admitted, "I didn't know 'til almost a year ago when Mom told me. Up until that point I always thought I was human,"
"If only I was so lucky," Kal said.
I stopped at the door to my room.
"This is yours?" Kal asked.
"Yep," I replied as I opened the door…
And I was bowled over by a mountain of dark, black fur. A large pink tongue started to bathe me in licks. I opened an eye and started laughing.
"Oof! Sirius!" I laughed.
"Who?" Kal asked, looking at the Newfoundland.
"Down boy," I said gently as I carefully pushed the dog off.
Sirius turned his liquid gaze on me, if a dog could pout, he was definitely doing it.
"Sirius," I repeated, said dog barked at the mention of his name, "he's Dusk's dog, he doesn't normally show himself very often, he's shy. Go on, boy, say hello,"
"He didn't seem very shy a moment ago," Kal said as Sirius began sniffing him.
"Aw, that's just how he greets people he likes," I dismissed, "Though…I almost never see him in the main base. At least he seems to be taking a liking to you,"
"Animals tend to do that, not sure why," Kal shrugged as he began scratching the dog behind his ears.
Sirius lashed his tail back and forth before rearing up on his hinds legs and giving Kal a nice big lick on the nose.
Kal let out a laugh and gently eased the dog off him.
"Alright let's get this over with now, "I mumbled walking into my room, Sirius at my heels.
Now, my room, it's not exactly luxurious. I have a bed, a nightstand, a window, a desk, a walk in closet and a dresser with a few of my belongings on top of it. The time capsule that my grandpa buried, the datapads and the toy dog that I brought back to Earth from Cybertron…nothing much, but it meant a lot to me. And on the nightstand, on its last legs, was my battered alarm clock. I think I might have accidently used it for early morning target practice today…oops.
"Don't get why it's that big a deal, I'm taller and bigger than you," Kal said as he followed us in.
"You're not that much taller than me," I replied searching through a drawer.
"I'm six feet tall, how tall are you?" Kal asked standing against the door frame.
"Almost six feet," I mumbled in subsonics.
I heard him try to suppress a chuckle and failing. I shot him a glare and tossed a blue long sleeved shirt at him.
"Shut up and change," I ordered walking into a separate room.
I pulled off my shirt layers, pausing for a minute and tracing the 'Bot insignia on my arm. It had appeared not long after Dusk and I returned from the Nemesis a few days ago after the zombiecon incident. Right when Ratchet had my signal embedded into the system. I picked out a t-shirt and pulled it on, making sure the insignia was covered. I hadn't told anyone about it, not even Mom. I didn't know if I should tell her or not.
I heard Kal in the other room, starting to fidget a bit. Guess that's my que to go.
I emerged from the other room and started walking out, Sirius on my heels.
"Come on," I said motioning for Kal to follow "we need to get back for Dusk thinks I tried to kill you,"
Kal snorted and followed. He kept looking at my left arm, at my scars.
And he wasn't very subtle about it.
"You know you could ask instead of just staring," I sighed.
Kal rubbed his head sheepishly.
"Sorry, didn't mean to stare, but who did that to you?" he asked
I shrugged.
"No one, I was born with them. They mark me as the son of a Prime, it's why I always wore long sleeves, I was afraid that someone would try to take me away from Mom if they saw them. Why do you wear them," I asked.
"Because the last time I wore anything that exposed my arms half the girls at school wouldn't stop staring at me," he said.
Huh?
Kal let out a sigh.
"According to them I'm 'well-toned' though I've never noticed. Miko was the worst though, when I was captured by the 'Cons…"
"Wait you were caught by the 'Cons?" I asked interrupting him.
"Yeah, I went with Fowler when he caught Bulkhead with us so he wouldn't take Miko and Raf, and well the 'Cons came after us," Kal explained.
"But weren't you just bragging about how you took out Soundwave and Knockout a moment ago?" I asked with a hint of disdain.
"Fowler was with me unconscious, it was either fight a good dozen 'Cons without knowing if I even could and risk him, or surrender and free him later. Anyway, Starscream spent a good half-hour trying to torture me with no luck. When I escaped though I lost my shirt to a 'Con and Miko wouldn't stop staring at me!" he exclaimed.
I knew it wasn't funny but…
I couldn't help it.
I laughed. Long and loud.
Miko POV
I heard a familiar laugh from the hallway. I turned around and…no way!
Jack and Kal were together…and they weren't shooting death glares at each other! No…Jack was laughing!
"Hey Jack, what's so funny?" I asked from the living area.
Jack shook his head.
"Oh nothing Miko, nothing at all," he chuckled and I gave him an odd look before returning to watching the game between Amber and Sean.
"This day is getting weirder and weirder," I muttered to myself as I watched the game.
Dusk POV
"Well at least we can tell you two apart now," Mom said in relief.
"And they're being nice to each other," I said to myself, watching the scene from above.
Suddenly, Amber let out a whoop of victory while Sean stared at the screen dumbfounded.
"H-How did you beat me!?" he demanded.
Amber just smiled mischievously.
"It's what you get for cheating earlier consider it Karma," she smirked, smiling smugly.
"Whatever," Sean pouted, tossing the controller on the table in front of him.
"Alright, who's my next victi- I mean challenger?" Amber asked looking at the various 'Bots and humans assembled before setting her gaze on Kal.
"Hey Kal, how about it, you and I?" she asked eagerly.
Kal shook his head.
"I appreciate the gesture Amber, but I don't really enjoy video games," he said.
We all stared at him. Well, everyone but Dad, Hatchet and Magnus.
"You're kidding?" several said in disbelief.
"Why would I be kidding?" he said with a shrug.
"How can you not like video games?" Amber asked.
"Two reasons," Kal explained "First is that I can do most of what you see on screen so I don't find much fun in that, secondly they tend to overload my senses,"
"What do you mean overload your senses?" I asked, coming down from my perch on the rafter and touching down next to my brother.
"Remember how I said I have super hearing and enhanced sight?" Kal asked, to which I nodded "Well I normally keep myself from overloading from them, but video games can catch me off guard and it can be downright painful for me to play them,"
Aw, poor guy. All I can say is that he's kinda lucky but unlucky too. Amber most likely would play Call of Duty which she is a massive cheat and he…
Wait one fragging minute.
"So he can't play video games because they kinda spook him…huh?" I mused as Kal kinda walked off just to watch Amber, who got a challenger in Ben.
"What are you planning?" Jack asked, coming closer, "You're going to prank him aren't you?"
"Oh he knows I'm going to do it," I replied, watching Ben putting his hand over Amber's eyes, which she bit not too long after, "Kal just doesn't know how…or when I'm going to do it,"
"What are you going to do?" Jack repeated.
"Remember April Fool's day?" I asked.
"Where you hacked into my scanning systems and made me an RC car?" Jack growled darkly.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, that day," I replied nonchalantly, "You did sound cute as a munchkin,"
"I'm warning you…"
"Anyway," I stopped him, "Remember the prank we played on Dad?"
Jack's eyes gleamed and a slow smile played on his face.
June POV
Ben let out a yelp when Amber bit his hand making almost everyone laugh.
"Tone it down!" Ratchet ordered from the terminal.
"Jeez Hatchet, no need to yell," Amber said innocently.
"Besides what are you even working on?" Sean asked as he leaned on the rail.
Ratchet let out a sigh.
"If you must know, I have been getting an odd signal lately and have been trying to clear it up for the past few minutes," he explained.
Kal immediately perked up at the mention of a signal.
"Exactly what kind of signal?" he asked careful to hide his hopeful curiosity.
"That's the strange part, it bears resemblance to the old signal's frequency we once used back at Outpost Omega," Ratchet said.
"Hold on," Dusk said walking up to the edge of the platform "Didn't Kal say that his bots are still based in Outpost Omega?"
"I did," Kal confirmed.
"So they must be trying to contact you!" she exclaimed
Kal's face lit up in a smile as he thought of returning home. Ratchet of course, had to dash those hopes.
"Sadly there is too much interference for them to make contact with us. Unless I had a device that transmitted on the same frequency it could take days or weeks to make contact," Ratchet replied.
"Buzz kill," Dusk muttered under her breath.
"Wait," Kal said "would a human communication device work?" he asked this time the hopefulness obvious in his voice.
"Jeez Kal, you got a girl waiting for you back home or something?" Ben joked.
Kal rubbed the back of his head.
"You could say that…" he answered nervously.
"Dude spill!" Miko cried, nearly jumping up and down in excitement, "I bet it's Sierra, it's Sierra isn't it?"
"What!?" Kal yelled "No, oh god no, that girls more trouble than she's worth,"
"Then who!?" she asked again.
"That's… Private," he said and turned quickly to Ratchet before she could ask another question.
"So would it work or not?"
"If you had such a device…yes. Yes it would," Ratchet answered.
Kal lifted his shirt slightly and reached into one of his belt's subspace pockets, pulling out a small device. The medic held out his large servo, and Kal placed the delicate device in his hands. Moving with the skill and precision that only a doctor had, Ratchet quickly connected the device to his terminal.
He played the signal for all to hear and static blared into the air. Everyone clamped their hands over their ears or audio receptors at the noise, Jack and Dusk went on their knees, I held my head, gritting my teeth.
"Do you think you could turn it down Doc!?" Wheeljack shouted.
"Unfortunately not, however the signal should become quieter the more it clears!" Ratchet predicted.
Slowly the medic's prediction proved true as the static and noise lessened until a staticky, distorted, familiar voice sounded from the speakers.
It was Ratchet's.
"I repeat, Jackson do you read? Please Respond!" the medic pleaded over the comm, his voice showing what almost sounded like concern.
At the sound of the doctor's voice Kal practically disappeared flying up to the terminal in haste floating next to our Ratchet.
"Gwah! Don't do that!" our medic ordered.
"Sorry," Kal responded before turning to the terminal, "Ratchet, it's Jack I read you," he said calmly.
"Oh thank the All Spark, we've been trying to contact you for over a week with no luck. June and Arcee have been worried sick," The medic said.
"I can imagine," Kal mumbled before the words fully sank in "Wait, did you say a week?"
"Yes, we've figured out a basic way to get to you, but would be unable to get back without confirming your condition. Why do you ask?" Ratchet sounded confused by Kal's question.
"I've only been here for a few hours," Kal responded, "I'm in a parallel dimension but different from the shadow zone. There's another Team Prime here and it's been…"
He paused searching for the word to describe his predicament.
"Different. Anyway, how long till you can get me home?" he asked.
"Unfortunately there is no way to get you home, Jack," the medic responded.
"WHAT!?" Kal yelled with such force several lights shattered in the base and he winced.
"Jack allow me to explain, there is no way for us to bring you back, however since you are apparently with another team we can send several of our own to help them make the proper modifications to the ground bridge to allow inter-dimensional travel," Ratchet said all this hurriedly trying to calm the angry Kryptonian teen.
Kal took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to calm himself.
"Why can't you just let me come through the portal home?" he asked.
"It only works one way," Ratchet said.
"Won't sending someone over weaken team Prime though?" Kal asked not wanting to worsen their stance against the cons.
"The Decepticons have been oddly quiet since Zod's forces faded. The government announcement of our existence had made their ability to stay hidden difficult at best," Ratchet explained.
Wait, we didn't have to hide in his universe?
"Okay so how long then?" Kal asked.
"We should be able to send them to your location tomorrow at roughly noon through your Groundbridge as we latched onto the signal roughly three days ago," Ratchet explained "Until then wait patiently and we should be able to bring you home safely,"
"I'll see you then Ratchet," Kal said.
"Of course Jackson," there was a pause "it's good to see your still alive,"
The transmission cut off.
Kal turned to the assembled group with a small smile.
"I guess you'll get to meet my family," he said.
What are Jack and Dusk cooking up? How will the 'Bots react with the newcomers? Guess we'll find out soon!
Anyway, hope you liked it. If you did, please R&R! :)

Farewell and fair writing
Elhini Prime signing off.
