(OC POV)

I pushed my engines harder as I streaked through the sky, the nose of my alt mode slicing through the air as I flew. The sound of my pursuers getting closer caused me to panic, my wings tipping slightly to direct me into the ruins of Iacon.

"Scrap." I muttered to myself as I weaved in and out of the buildings, my pursuers easily keeping up as they followed my frame. I tilted my nose up and rose into the atmosphere, higher and higher then suddenly tilted back down. My form streaked past my pursuers in a flash of color, making me inwardly smirk when they struggled to keep up. 100 feet from the ground I transformed into my bipedal form, landing on the ground gracefully as I stretched my joints. My two pursuers landed behind me just as gracefully, the ground shaking slightly before calming once again.

"Hold your servos where we can see them!" one of the mechs yelled as I heard a cannon being powered up, my green optics rolling as my white armor bristled at the threat.

"And if I do not?" I yelled back as I set my hands on my hips, listening as they made their way closer to me.

"Then we will force your servo!" another one yelled as they both stopped behind me, their weapons still powered up as all was quiet for a moment.

"Never!" I yelled as I onlined my cannons and spun on my heelstruts, a grunt leaving me as I was tackled to the ground gently. Skystreak's servos were running over my sides softly, tickling my sensitive spot as I started giggling uncontrollably.

"We got you now femme!" Thunderstrike yelled with a smirk as he tickled my thighs, struggling to hold them down when I started kicking out.

"So you think!" I laughed out before I opened the trine bond between us all, the twins gasping as they fell on their backs laughing. "How do you like it you slagheads?" I muttered as I redirected what I was feeling to them through the bond, their sparks humming faster as they tried to calm down alongside me.

"That was unfair." They both chorused at the same time as they looked at me, a smirk on my face as I got to my pedes leisurely and rubbed my back struts.

"I never said I played fair." I said with a smug smirk as I walked away from my twins, scanning the ruins of the once beautiful city sadly.

: With the Allspark gone, we cannot return life to our planet. But fate has yielded its own reward: a new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting... protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: We are here. We are waiting. : A com came through from a distance far away, my optics widening as I immediately recognized the Prime. My servo rose to rub my chest plates as I thought of my brother, a frown on my face as I barely felt the bond I created with him in our youth. Turning towards the twins with an astonished look on my faceplates, they immediately ran towards me as they felt me through the bond we shared.

"What is wrong Lightbeam?" Thunderstrike said as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder, Skystreak stopping in front of me to grasp my servos firmly.

"Optimus…he has invited us to a new home, I can finally rejoin my brother…we can finally have a family…." I said as I glanced between both of them with a pleading look, the twins sharing a look as they spoke through their separate bond.

"Very well, let us go and meet up with Prime's unit. I cannot guarantee that we will become Autobots though, my leader." Skystreak said with a grimace as he squeezed my hands softly, dropping them as he stepped away to give me room.

"This whole time, you have been helping people and keeping Decepticons away from those who cannot do that themselves. You are already Autobots, though not technically." I said as I rested a servo on both of their shoulders gently, the twins glancing between each other again emotionlessly.

"We will see Lightbeam, we need to leave immediately before somebody sees us and follows." Thunderstrike said with a sigh as he smiled at me somewhat, flinging into the air and transforming gracefully. Skystreak winked at me and followed his brother's lead, both hovering above me patiently as I cleared my processor. Nodding to myself I tensed my legs and launched myself into the air, transforming into my alt form smoothly and shooting past the twins.

~Let us find my brother~ I whispered through our bond as we shot out of the atmosphere, the twins agreeing as they followed me loyally.

~This is going to be a long trip~ Thunderstrike rumbled through our bond, a hint of irritation flashing through.

~Shut up and deal with it~ Skystreak said with a smirk as he bumped his brother's wing, the two starting to argue as Thunderstrike bumped him back.

~Enough you two~ I said with a smile as I slowed down to get between them, the twins grumbling as they both hovered closer to me habitually.

(A few vorn later)

~Earth is within sight, initiate landing protocol~ I whispered through our bond as I immediately slowed down, the twins following my lead as we added temporal force fields for safety. A scream left me as my tail was suddenly grabbed, yanking me off course as the twins shot past me immediately.

~Lightbeam! ~ Skystreak yelled as he struggled to leave his course as well, Thunderstrike activating his reverse boosters immediately.

~No! Keep going, you will just sustain more damage trying to stop. Once within the atmosphere I need you to find Optimus Prime, then ask if you can come and find me. This is their planet so you must abide by their rules, this is an order my dear twins. I will be waiting for you, we will always have the bond~ I said as I struggled to be rid of whatever was holding me, the twins doing as I said albeit a bit angrily.

~As you wish, my leader~ Thunderstrike said before they disappeared into the atmosphere, their disgruntled feelings still clear through our trine bond. I struggled once again to get out of whatever snagged me, sighing as I was forced to transform into my bipedal form. My expression dropped in shock by what I found, an annoyed look coming to my faceplates a moment later.

It had to be Soundwave I thought in annoyance as I crossed my arms, glaring at said 'Con as his tentacles wrapped firmly around my waist. He started pulling me closer to where he was stationed, which was buried deep within what looked like Earth's technologies. He tilted his head which caused me to glare at him, a tentacle managing to get behind my helm and put me into stasis. Scrap.

(SW POV)

I watched as she powered down immediately, becoming limp in my tentacles as I brought her in front of me.

~Who is this femme Creator~ Ravage whispered to me through our bond, her curiosity flowing through as well. It took me a moment to think on my answer, my optics studying her beautiful frame.

~She is a femme who caught my interest~ I whispered back as I hooked her to my back, making sure to be careful with her unique wings.

~That is interesting~ she murmured before shifting in her hold somewhat, my helm nodding subconsciously in agreement as I focused on my searching.

: Soundwave, I have a mission for your pet. : Starscream said with his screechy voice as he opened communications, a frown coming to my faceplates behind my visor immediately.

: Proceed. : I said as I listened to what he had to say, for once agreeing with his plan to rise Megatron once again. Cutting the com with the annoying SIC, a sigh left me before I focused on Ravage.

~Ravage: eject and retrieve shard of Allspark. Take shard to Constructicons and revive Lord Megatron~ I told her through our bond as she did what I said, folding into her space travel form and launching herself towards Earth. I gave her the coordinate that the foolish human gave me, feeling as she altered her course towards said coordinates easily.

(6 Months Later)

I disconnected from the satellite and transformed into my alt form, activating my thrusters and adding my temporal force fields. My frame burned as I entered Earth's atmosphere, my processor immediately cloaking every signal I had to stay hidden. Once inside the atmosphere I put my boosters at full power, turning my nose slightly to direct me towards a forest in Canada. The ache of Ravage's death made my spark throb slightly, my other minibots trying to sooth it the best they could. Shaking my self of it I transformed and landed in a clearing, walking into the trees and stopping at a mountain face. Pulling out a tentacle I inserted it into a small invisible hole, the mountain opening up to a paved hallway.

"Minibots: eject." I rumbled as I came upon a huge lit up cavern, stopping to allow the minibots to eject properly. They all scampered to their energon dispenser, getting their fill as I walked to the other side of the room. Stopping at the edge of a berth, I slowly walked to the side and paused. The femme I put into stasis lay there peacefully, my scans showing she was still running perfectly. Tilting my head I reached towards her, pausing beside her cheek plates as I sighed.

"Why do you hold her captive creator?" Frenzy said as he walked up to me, scampering up my leg to stand on the berth. I turned towards him with a blank expression, my spark in turmoil as I faced the femme again.

"Femme: extremely special. Reason: unknown." I said as I pulled out a tentacle and reached behind her, slowly leading her out of her stasis with a gentle touch.

"Do you like her creator? We've never had a carrier before." Frenzy said smoothly without his usual speech impediment, thankfulness that I fixed it immediately flowing across our bond.

"I do not know." I said simply as I pulled my tentacle away slowly, watching as she brought herself the rest of the way.

(OC POV)

My processors rebooted albeit a bit slowly, my body feeling stiff from being still for so long. My energon reserves were still in the high, a frown coming to my faceplates at the information.

Well, at least I know I am being taken care of I thought to myself as I slowly came fully online, the logs from my last onlined moment coming to the forefront of my processor. Soundwave had captured me and put me in stasis, and that was almost seven months ago!

~Lightbeam! ~ The twins yelled into our bond as I finally opened it, the pure relief in their voice almost overwhelming me.

~Ugh, quiet down. I have a helmache from the Pit~ I muttered back to them as my servo rose to rub my helm, my optics refusing to come online from the throbbing.

~Thank Primus you are alright~

~Where have you been? ~

~Where are you now? ~

~Are you ok? ~

~Whoa, slow down. Let me figure it out for myself, hold on for a minute please~ I murmured before I slowly onlined my optics, shuttering them to bring everything into focus faster. A gasp left me as I found Soundwave standing above me, a grunt leaving me as I fell off the berth I was on.

"Frag, that hurt." I muttered as I struggled to use my weak joints, wincing as they creaked from being unused.

"Moving: unwise. Reason: unused joints will deteriorate without proper attention." I heard Soundwave say from above me as he came closer, causing me to flip onto my back struts as I brought my weapons online. I paused in surprise at that simple action, the ability to do it confusing me easily.

"Why did you not lock my weapon programming?" I said as I looked up at him in confusion as I powered down my weapons, my wings shifting on my back to shake off the tenseness built up.

"Soundwave: requires your trust. Reason: unknown even to Soundwave." The 'Con said as he tilted his helm and looked away from me, his visor covering his expression as he became thoughtfully quiet. His minibot suddenly made an appearance above me, said minibot scrambling off my berth to stand beside me.

"You sure are pretty femme, creator knows how to pick them." He muttered as he tilted his small helm in curiosity, a frown coming to my faceplates at his words. I looked up at Soundwave with an arched browridge, leaning against the cave wall as I crossed my arms defensively.

"And what does he mean by that?" I said as I glared at Soundwave with wary interest, the 'Con seeming to look at me as his minibot stepped closer.

"I mean that creator-" the minibot paused and stiffened with wide optics, glancing up at his creator as Soundwave shifted.

"Frenzy: offline vocal modulator." Soundwave said as he came around to stand at my side, reaching a nimble servo out slowly to help me to my pedes. I glanced between his servo and his emotionless visor, cautiously slipping my servo in his as he gently lifted me to my pedes.
