Hey! Okay, so this chapter is pretty short, but I've got plenty planned for the next few chapters~ It should start picking up. Now if only I can find time to type... ;_;

Anyway, I don't own Transformers unfortunately..

Thanks to all the follows, favs, and, of course, reviews. I appreciate it so much!


Chapter 3 - Arrivals

"Wait, so grandma lied about your death to keep this whole secret organization a, well, secret? What the hell?!" Kate felt like her brain was going to explode from all the sudden revelations. She rubbed the bridge of her nose, feeling a migraine coming on. Too much thinking isn't good for a young girl.

Currently, Kate and her grandfather, James, were heading to a hidden military base about sixty miles from the valley in which she'd found Optimus. Her grandmother was already there, waiting.

"Why? I mean, she could've at least told me. I'm family, for goodness' sake!" Although angry and slightly hurt, Kate still couldn't help but stare at the man next to her. All her life, she'd believed he died long before her birth of a brain aneurysm. Instead, he was alive and well, heading a covert operation dealing with aliens. Honestly, it was all a lot to take in.

James sighed. He couldn't blame his granddaughter. He was upset at not being able to ever spend time with her. "I know you're hurt. I'm sorry. Your grandma did what she thought to be right. Trust me, it wasn't an easy decision."

Kate sighed; she was still upset, but her emotions would have to wait. Optimus rounded a corner, and the base came in sight. The helicopters had already landed, and several people were waiting for them to arrive.

As soon as James stepped out of Optimus, a man came up and said, "Sir, we've detected a signal in northwestern Siberia. We're almost positive it's a Transformer."

At the man's words, Optimus transformed. People stopped in their tracks, mouths agape as they watched what could only be classified as a miracle unfold right in front of them. Kate smiled a little to herself. She'd seen him transform many times, but it never got old.

"We must get to the signal's location immediately. If you are correct, and it is a Cybertronian, we have to determine whether it's friend of foe." Optimus's deep voice rang out across the base.

"We're already on that," informed James. He motioned to a large jet parked to his left. "We can leave in about an hour." Optimus nodded, then looked around. The base hadn't changed much in the last thirty year. Apart from better technology and weapons and fresh paint on the enormous buildings, everything was as he remembered.

Kate's voice jolted the Autobot out of his thoughts. "Grandma!" The college girl rushed to her grandmother and gave her a hug. "Man, you've got a lot of explaining to do."

Rose chuckled, "Nice to see you, too. I promise I will explain what I can in time. For now, I'm going to give you a tour. Then, we can focus on our new arrival in Siberia." The elderly woman chuckled when Kate made a face that clearly said she wanted some answers now and not later. Yes, she had grown up well…

About four hours later, Optimus Prime was landing in Siberia. He drove out of the jet and transformed in his bipedal mode. Looking around, the Autobot leader picked up faint traces of energon. "This way," he said and jogged off.

Soon, he and James's men came across a lone car sitting in the middle of the tundra. The car was an old and faded Martini Porsche 935 racing car. Optimus regarded it silently for a moment before breaking out into a small smile. "Jazz."


Dang this chapter is really short. Sorry about that...

Thank goodness for Google. I found Jazz's original car form~ Thought that might be a nice touch...

Until next time, my pretties~
