General Nation

After Shadowmist had pasted out Bumblebee, Jazz and the twins Mudflap and Skids vacated the area while the other Autobots fended off the Decepticons. The four Autobots pulled into an old castle that was big enough to have the four of them out of their alt modes without being seen.

Else where

"This is Lennox" Lennox sat there and listened to the other voice on the headphones but saddened at the news of the death of Optimus prime.

Shadowmist P.O.V

I could hear voices and my chassis felt really sore. I opened my optics but closed them quickly as I was momentarily blinded by the sun and then slowly opened them again. Everything was blurry but soon came into focus; I looked up to see Mikaela smiling down at me. I weakly smiled back and sat up with Mikaela's help, I looked around and saw Bumblebee and Jazz sat right next to me.
Jazz looked down at me
"How ya felling lil' lady" he asked, I looked toward him and smiled
"I'm sore, but fine" I replied but before he said anything I picked up on a transmission
"Citizens of the human hive, your leaders have withheld the truth. You are not alone in this universe. We have lived among you, hidden, but no more. As you've seen, we can destroy your cities at will, unless you turn over this boy and this girl." He showed a picture of Sam and one of me in my human and Cybertronian form "This girl is one of us and has the ability to change into you wretched species. If you resist us, we will destroy the world as you know it." I sat there thinking at what just occurred. I had just been revelled to the humans. I heard a commotion and saw Sam and Leo heading our way
"They can track us? Like, satellite track us? Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Okay, I'm not even with you guys! Technically, I'm like a hostage. This is kidnapping... Enough is..." suddenly the twins spoke up scaring the slag out of us
"Yo, Leo!" Mudflap said
"This thing's gonna give me a heart attack, I swear." He said walking towards us
"That's 'cause you is a wuss." Mudflap added
"You guys forced me into that car, right?" Leo carried on
"I think he's scared." Mudflap then said
"Hey Mudflap, what are we gonna do with this shrimp taco?" Skids asked. I looked at him wired, how do these two come up with something like that? And how do they know what a taco is, or a shrimp.
"Let's pop a cap in his ass, throw him in the trunk and then nobody gonna know nothing, know what I mean?" Mudflap suggested
"Not in my trunk" Skids replied
"Yo, bumper cars? I'm hearing you. Okay? I'm right here and I can hear you! No one's popping any caps in any asses, okay? I've had a hell of a day!" this human is starting to frag me off but mentally laughed at the twins reply
"Why don't you get a haircut with your bitch ass?" Skids asked "Go whine to your boyfriend" As idiotic as those two are, they can bring a smile to your face.
"Listen, Sam, I know I'm gonna do, man. Look, I'm just going to go to the authorities and tell them the truth. Like I had nothing to do with this. So, I'm not an accomplice." This human just doesn't give up, I'm going to hit him in a minute
"Hey, you wanted this, right? You wanted the real deal? Well, that's what this is. Wake up! You're in the middle of it! You want to run? Go ahead! No one's stopping you. Stop complaining." I smiled at Sam and he smiled back. He came over and hugged me, I was surprised at first but then hugged him back and started crying
"It's okay, there's nothing you could of done" he rubbed my back but I shook my helm
"It's not that, It's the words I said to him during our argument" I said pulling out of the hug
"You two had an argument, but you never argue" he said
"I know, but he found out about the upgraded blasters I got, so he was real mad" I replied
"Okay, so what did you say? It can't have been that bad?" he asked
"He asked why I let Ironhide upgraded them, so I told him it help me save humans from Decepticons and make friends from saving them" I said
"what do you mean 'Make friends', you have loads of friends" Sam asked
"Yeah, that's here, on Cybertron the friends I had was the bots here now and a few others, but they were family. The other bot used to look at me like I was the spawn of Unicron" I said
"Who's Unicron?" Sam asked
"He's our version of Satan" I answered
"Okay. So why did they look at you like that?" he asked
"Sam, have you ever wondered who my father was?" I asked and he nodded "Well, Megatron is my sire" I told him and his eyes widened
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Megatron, leader of the Decepticons, is your father?" he asked and I nodded "So Optimus and Megatron..." he pinched his thumb and index finger together and put his other index finger in the hole it made (I think you can all guess what I mean), I nodded and he nodded "So, what happened next?"
"He asked how I knew who my sire and I told him everything about me that is like Megatron, then I asked him why did he interfa.. I mean have sex with him and which then led to me calling him a whore, in your terms" I finished
"So your last words to him was calling him a whore" I looked down and started crying again
"I don't know why I called him that, I always say horrible things when I'm angry, the Autobots were right, I'm just like Megatron" I said but I was pulled up and hugged
"You're nothing like him lil' lady" Jazz said, I looked up and saw his holoform Ratchet made for him. Sam walked over to Mikaela and hugged her
"There's nothing that both you could have done." She said looking at me
"You okay?" Sam asked
"Yeah" she replied "Bee, Jazz, If you hate me, I understand." Bumblebee whined and Jazz shook his helm. "I messed up. I'm sorry."
"Young fella, you are the person I care about most in my life. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away." Bee replied
"He's dead because of me. He came here to protect me and he's dead." Sam replied
"There's some things you just can't change. So, his sacrifice for us would not have been in vain. Hallelujah!" Bee replied
"I'm gonna make it right. I'm going to turn myself in." Sam said
"And so am I, I'm just as bad as Megatron anyway" I said
"We... We've got to stick together." Bee said and transformed
"You're not going to do that." Mikaela said
"Yes, we are." We replied
"Everything we worked for will be wiped out in one day!" Bee said
"You three..." Sam said and walked toward the twins and Jazz
"Huh" they all said
"Hey, you know the glyphs?" Sam asked "These? The symbols that have been rattling around in my head?" Sam said and showed them a familiar looking glyph
"That's old school, yo. That's, like... That's Cybertronian." Skids said but Jazz hit him
"Tha's not Cybertronian, ya afts, tha' way older, but I can't figure out wha' it is" Jazz said
"So you can't read it. If you can't read it, we gotta find somebody who can." Sam said but then it clicked as to what it says
"Um, the one on your arm says dagger" I said and the turned to me
"You can read this?" Sam asked
"I don't know, it looked familiar and then it came to me" I said and Sam started to carve out all the symbols
"Do you know what it says?" he asked when he finished
"Um, that one says dagger, that one say kings and that one and that one says dawn. I don't know the rest of it" I said and then Leo came back
"Look who came sashaying back!" Skids said
"Hair growing like a Chia Pet. Look at him." Mudflap said
"I had a bit of a mild panic attack earlier, right?" Leo said
"That's 'cause you're a pussy" Mudflap replied and the twins bumped fists
"I think I' allowed that, considering what I've been through. I heard you had a problem. I think I know someone who can help." Leo said
"Who?" Sam asked
"Robo-Worrior." he said. We all went to sleep that night.

Morning

Bumblebee, Jazz, Skids and Mudflap all drove across a bridge as Leo directed them to where this Robo-Worrier was
"This guy, Robo-Worrior, everything about anything alien, he's supposed to know. One time we revenge-hacked his site and maybe I saw some of your alien drawings or whatever." He said as we pulled in front of a deli
"This is it, Yep." Leo said
"Deli. Good front" Sam said
"All right, wait here. I'll give you the go/no go. All right?" Leo said and went in; we waited for about a minute before going in
"It's him! It's him! That's the guy right there! That's him!" Leo said pointed at a man, once he turned around, I recognised who he was.
Simmons the aft.
"No." he said
"You have got to be kidding me." Sam replied
"All right, meat store closed! Everybody out! Out, right now! That means you lady, right now." Simmons ordered making everyone leave
"Wait a minute. You know this guy?" Leo asked
"We're old friends." Sam said and I snorted
"Old friends? You're the case that shut down Sector Seven, got the kibosh, disbanded. No more security clearance, no retirement, no nothing. All 'cause of you and your little criminal girlfriend. Look at her now, so mature. And let's not forget your little alien shape shifter." Simmons said looking at us
"Moron! Where's the whitefish?" A woman asked
"Hey! Don't touch me with the pig." A human man said with bad looking dentes
"Yakov!" Simmons shouted
"What?" he asked
"You don't get Christmas bonuses standing around! You want those new teeth you saw at SkyMall?" Simmons asked
"It's my dream" he replied
"Help her out." Simmons told him
"You live with your mama?" Mikaela asked
"No, my mama lives with me. It's a big difference.
"They got your faces all over the news, alien kids.
"Yeah, I know." Sam replied
"And NBE One's still kicking, huh?" he asked "How did that happen? Don't answer. I know what you're hiding, but I don't want anything to do with it. So, good-bye. You never saw me. I go bagels to schmear. Vanish" Simmons said
"Can you give me five seconds? Look, hold on. I need your help." Sam asked
"Really? You need my help?" Simmons looked at us
"I need... Look I am slowly losing my mind. Okay, I had a little crab-bot, plunger a device into the soft tissues of my brain and started projecting little alien symbols like a freaking home movie! And on top of that, she just lost her primary caretaker and we are now wanted fugitive. So, you think you got it rough?" Sam exclaimed. Simmons stood there looking at us and then asked
"You said it started projecting images off your brain?"
"Right" Sam said
"Meat locker, now!" Simmons ordered and took us to the back of the deli.
