Optimus and Katie were talking a lot; and by then Optimus changed his vehicle form and looked all Knightish now.
"Where are you from exactly?" Optimus asked.
She laughed then.
"Well, where we're from you and your Autobots are fiction; you don't exist like you do here." she said as he frowned.
"I do not understand; what do you mean?" he asked as she sighed; but tried to explain the best way she could. "So, you are saying that Primus sent you here to me?" Optimus asked.
"Yes, I believe so; see I believe there is much more to this than meets the eye. Lockdown is helping the humans called Cemetery Wind and KSI; there is one human in particular Harold Attinger. There is something else Optimus; Lockdown will tell you things that I believe are lies. Let me ask you something as a military leader; what would be the best way to win a battle unethically or cruelly?" she asked.
Silence...
"I am not sure I follow, mostly because I never did things that were cruel or unethical to others I do not believe in it." Optimus stated.
"Divide and conquer and throw your enemy back off his game; Lockdown works for someone who either wants you out of the way or enslaved. Lockdown will tell you that you were built not created by Primus." Katie said as Optimus glanced down at her.
Silence...
"And the humans..." he said.
She shrugged then.
"They have their own reasons for being jerks; Optimus there's something else." she said.
"What...?" he asked.
"The humans created their own versions of Cybertronians; but someone was helping them." she said.
"Lockdown...?" he asked.
"No, this help was not known to the humans," she answered.
"I do not understand then who?" he asked.
"Megatron," she answered simply.
Silence...
"But Megatron is offline," Optimus said.
"No, his head his mind was alive and active; and he was manipulating KSI and got them to build him a new body. However now, he has no spark; and in his stomach is some sort of acid or cosmic rust thing." she explained to him.
"Then how do I defeat him?" Optimus asked.
"In all honesty, I don't know." she said as he sighed.
This was not what he wanted to hear at all.
"Optimus," she said as he looked down at her.
"We'll find a way I promise; but together as a team." she said as he smiled sadly at her.
He nodded.
"Together," he said with such conviction in his tone.
She would not let him down ever; Primus brought her here so she would do her best to protect him from harm or die trying!

CD and Bumblebee were engaged in a conversation; Drift and Elantra both talked about some things, mostly about how cool she thought he was. Diana and Hound talked about things too, mostly about him being a Weapons specialist and Ironhide.
"Did you know Ironhide?" she asked.
"Yes, he was a good friend that slagging traitor Sentinel Prime," Hound growled then.
"I'm sorry about Ironhide, Hound," she replied softly.
"Yeah, me too," Hound answered.
Bumblebee and the others headed out to where Optimus, Lucy, Katie and Barbie were waiting.
Elantra ran her hand over Drift's dashboard; and she smiled.
"So, you're a Samurai?" she asked him as he laughed.
"Yes, I favor my blades too yes," Drift said as she was quiet.
"Is it true you used to be a Decepticon?" Elantra asked him.
He sighed then.
"Yes, but I saw the error of my ways not many can." Drift said.
"Then I am proud of you," she said as the Autobot fell silent at those words.
However the quality time was cut short as they were fired upon by a group of vehicles; which the three girls realized were Galvatron and the Stingers.
"Bee, you may want to call Optimus on this one," CD said.
"Alright," Bumblebee said.
::::::... Optimus, it's Bumblebee; we have a problem. We are being fired upon; CD said it is Galvatron and the Stingers...::::::
:::::::... Optimus here, we are on our way to intercept...::::::::
"We must go Lucy, Katie and Barbie; it seems Galvatron is attacking my Autobots and your friends." Optimus said as he transformed and Katie, Barbie and Lucy got inside of Optimus' cab.
Optimus' powerful engines roared to life, as he headed for the location his team was. It didn't take long for Optimus to find them. Optimus transformed and engaged Galvatron.
"Optimus watch your back," Katie ordered.
"If you are concerned for my well being; then you watch my back struts yourself, femme," he said smirking as he and Galvatron fought.
"You have no soul," Optimus snarled suddenly at Galvatron.
"And that is why I have no fear," Galvatron said as he threw Optimus to the side.
Katie remembered the humans see everything from a camera feed within Galvatron.
"The humans who think they are controlling you are fools," Katie said as Attinger, Savoy and Joshua Joyce stared at the feed confused by her words.
"What the hell is she talking about?" Joshua asked.
"Who knows," Savoy and Attinger said.
Galvatron growled at both Optimus and Katie; while Katie continued with her explanation of things.
"You've been manipulating everything, haven't you...Megatron." Katie demanded as Galvatron smiled in a sinister way at her.
"Did she just say Megatron?" Joshua asked.
"Smart human," Galvatron said.
"You're a fool and so are the humans, especially Attinger for teaming up with Lockdown in the first place." Katie said as Galvatron seemed slightly curious now. "Oh you don't get it? Okay, let me spell it out for you then; Lockdown's boss and master is Unicron, the chaos bringer. Oh and for those dumb ass humans watching Unicron is the Cybertronian version of Satan on our planet; only their version is the size of a planet. Unicron needs the Matrix to get out of his prison and after he wants Optimus enslaved; which is why Lockdown is using that half baked tale that Optimus was built and not created. They want Optimus thrown off his game." Katie said.
Attinger felt his color drain from his face; he had asked Lockdown why he wanted Optimus Prime and who he worked for but he never gave him an answer and now he knew why.
"How could I have been so..." Attinger words were silenced by several missiles that hit Optimus in his back.
Optimus yelled out in pain as he tried to get up only to be hit again; Katie ran over toward Optimus who had fallen back onto a car. He groaned in agony, as Katie ran her hand over his face.
"Can you get up at all?" She asked him.
"No, Katie I cannot," Optimus said weakly.
"I'm not leaving your side, I promise." she said as Lockdown approached with his Vehicons and a giant net to catch Optimus and Katie both knowing Katie had something special he wanted to learn about. He just wasn't sure what it was yet; but he would learn of it that was certain.
Katie ran her hand over Optimus' face plates; Optimus looked at her.
"You care for me thank you for that," Optimus said as he moved his hand toward Katie to protect her from Lockdown's wrath.
Optimus made up his mind he would keep her for himself all for himself if they made it out of this mess alive that is...

Xxx

Attinger, Savoy and Joshua all stared at each other; Joshua grabbed something and threw it against the wall.
"We were played all of us we killed all the Autobots except for Optimus and Bumblebee and whatever new ones came in; and now our planet is going to hell unless we team up and help get Optimus and that girl back." Joshua said.
"Damn it, he's right," Savoy said as they tried to contact the other Autobots; but not sure of the welcome they'd get.
They needed to use their group Cemetery Wind with the Autobots; so they could break out Optimus Prime and Katie from Lockdown's clutches.
Xxx
CD, Barbie, Lucy, Elantra and Diana stared at Attinger, Savoy and Joshua like they had lost their minds; until Lucy snarled and punched Savoy in the face.
"You killed Ratchet and he was my mate, you lousy bastards; we'll get Optimus and Katie ourselves without your help." Lucy snarled as Crosshairs glared at Savoy.
"Miserable humans," Crosshairs snarled.
"Let's go we'll get them ourselves," Hound said as Barbie realized something about the name James Savoy; their worlds intertwined more times than just now.
"What was your sister's name?" Barbie asked Savoy.
"What, why...?" Savoy asked.
"Because your sister lived in Chicago; but she originally lived in New York, right?" Barbie asked as Savoy frowned.
"Yes, but how'd you know that?" Savoy asked.
"Then she suddenly moved to Chicago right; what was her name?" Barbie asked again as he sighed.
"Michelle Savoy,"
Barbie saw the expressions of CD, Elantra and Diana as well as the Autobots.
"My uncle's enforcer..."
"Enforcer, wait your family is Mafia connected?" Attinger asked.
"Yes, my uncle's enforcer mentioned this girl he dated and I overheard them talking when they thought I didn't and your sister had been black mailing my uncle's enforcer. He went after her and well killed her; but when he killed her it was the start of when all this crap happened I am guessing. So, that's why it looked like she was killed by the Cybertronian war; because of all the blowing up that the Cons did." Barbie said as her friends stared at her shocked.
Savoy thought about what was just told to him; how his sister suddenly made a lot of money in such a short amount of time.
"Dear God, what did I do?" Savoy asked. "I blamed all of them, and I was wrong all this time." Savoy said. "We have to help, let us help you please; I know it won't bring back your friends but please let us help now." Savoy said as they sighed.
Lucy turned toward the Autobots; it was their decision not hers slowly the Autobots nodded that they would accept their help.
"Alright," the Autobots said as they all headed out for their own way to rescue Optimus Prime and Katie from Lockdown not realizing that Optimus might have already been formulating a plan of his own to escape.

Xxxx

Optimus was working on his own plan for escaping; he wanted a chance to be with Katie. So, he managed to work the cell door open with Katie's help; he found where the special weapons were and he grabbed his sword and the Savior shield. The second he pulled the swords out his armor changed once more; which gave him the ability to fly. He held Katie close to his chest plates after he rigged the ship to blow up using Lockdown's own bombs to do it.
"Let's go, Katie," Optimus said as he engaged his flying capability.
"Someone is loose on my ship, find them!" Lockdown roared.
Lockdown's wolves and Vehicons were running through the ship looking for any escaped prisoners; when they spotted Prime they started firing but Optimus fired back killing whoever stood in his and Katie's way of freedom.
Lockdown was running toward the entrance of the ship when Optimus and Katie were escaping.
"PRIME...!" Lockdown roared in anger.
"Go to the pit, Lockdown, that's where you belong with Unicron." Optimus snarled as he escaped with Katie just as the ship exploded.
He opened his hand; and looked at Katie.
"Are you okay?" he asked Katie as she smiled.
"Yes, my hero." she said as Optimus grinned slightly.
Optimus flew through the air as his Autobots saw him; and followed him as he landed on the ground.
"Autobots, we need to find a place to go that is safe; we cannot stay here." Optimus said.
Optimus transformed into vehicle mode and Katie was safely within his cab; and then he led his Autobots and the girls to a secluded place. However as Optimus and his remaining Autobots went through a secluded area; they all went through something not realizing what it was. They also didn't realize a fancy sports car; which also went through with them since the ship blew up not realizing something odd had happened.
Optimus led his Autobots away from one area and into a brand new adventure; which no one had any idea would make a huge impact on everyone's life including Attinger, Savoy and Joshua and also Lucy's lives.

Katie had fallen asleep stretched out on Optimus' seats; her finger dug into his leather seats making him stifle a moan.
"Katie," he growled as all he got was a cute snore. "Oh for the love of Primus, you are causing me to overheat femme; online right now slag it." Optimus growled while her fingers continued to do such things to his circuits while she recharged.
However when her fingers suddenly stopped their incredible torment to him; then he snarled once more in a seductive way.
"So, she stops now," he mumbled.
"Well first he tells me to stop; and now he wants me to start up again. You can't make up your mind can you dear Optimus?" Katie asked with a smirk as his holoform appeared in all his miniature knight glory.
"Were you playing possum?" Optimus asked.
"Playing possum is when you play dead; I was pretending to be asleep, big difference, Optimus." she said with a giggle as he watched her heatedly.
He moved his metal finger down her body; his optics intense and they never left her own eyes. He kept watching her; his azure optics bright as he held her gaze captive.
"I fought Lockdown and made sure to survive and do you know why?" he asked her firmly.
"Why?" she asked her gaze not able to be torn from his heated expression.
"Because of one reason and one reason only," he said as his metal finger went to her face.
"Your Autobots," she said.
"You," was all he said as he ran his finger over her lips.
Katie saw that intense expression grow on the prime's face as he let his optics watch her like a lion watches its prey. He wanted her; he just wasn't sure what to do about that want.
"What types of things do humans do for mating rituals?" Optimus asked as she slowly slid her hands over his flamed armor.
"I will explain all of that, but promise me you won't engage the Internet for such things. There are things on the Internet which are deceiving and to alien beings; I believe it might be confusing if you tried to learn for yourself." Katie said as he smiled.
"If that is your wish, you can teach me such things." Optimus said.
Katie had to admit that Optimus looked absolutely hot in his new look; she still couldn't believe Optimus was real or that he cared about her. She looked into his azure eyes, and she saw a wave of emotions in his eyes.
"Mine," he growled.
"Okay," Katie said as he moved his helm lower until his lip plates were on her soft lips.
Katie ran her hands over the back of Optimus' helm as he kissed her; when their lips parted he watched her with that same hungered expression. Katie had to be honest that expression in his optics turned her quite a bit.
"You know, you called me yours; but I gotta say it goes both ways, Optimus." Katie said as she saw Optimus' expression change once more; but it was different now. "Optimus, what's wrong you look like you saw a ghost," Katie asked.
"We are at a stop light; and I-I just saw someone." Optimus said.
"Wait, hold up; who did you see?" Katie asked.
"I-Ironhide..." Optimus replied as Katie fell silent; because she was too stunned for words.
Ironhide was offline, wasn't he?
Katie got up; but didn't see the pickup.
"I do not understand Ironhide was offlined by Sentinel Prime; how is this even possible I felt him pass through the Matrix. How is this even possible, how?" Optimus asked. "I am getting everyone to meet at a secluded place; we need to have a meeting." Optimus said.
"Alright," Katie said as she wondered if KSI made a version of Ironhide no one knew about.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The fancy black sports car drove into another spot in town; it was then it got to a deserted area and suddenly transformed into Lockdown. Lockdown had an enraged look on his face plates; as he smashed his fist into the side of a deserted building.
"I am going to make you pay Optimus Prime for destroying my ship and my trophies; and if I have to rob you of every form of happiness to achieve that goal you better believe I will do it!" Lockdown vowed as his attention was broken by a police car trying to hide itself in the shadows.
Lockdown knew it was Cybertronian; because he picked up its signature. He scanned the side and found it was a Decepticon.
"Show yourself, Decepticon," Lockdown snarled as the Decepticon suddenly transformed its gears flipped and spun into place and formed the Decepticon hunter Barricade; who snarled at Lockdown.
"Lockdown, what are you doing on Earth?" Barricade demanded with a snarl.
"I thought all the Decepticons were scrapped; how did you manage to survive?" Lockdown demanded as Barricade snarled at the bounty hunter.
"The only ones who are offline are Bonecrusher, Frenzy, Blackout, Devastation, Grindor, Alice the pretender, Sideways, Demolisher, and Devastator and The Fallen; though Megatron had been killed by a human designated Ladiesman217 AKA Samuel James Witwicky but we got him back online." Barricade said.
"And how is a human insect supposed to take out the mighty Megatron?" Lockdown demanded in a snide tone which made Barricade snarl.
"He used the Allspark and plunged it into his chest plates," Barricade growled as Lockdown frowned at him like he had lost his good logical processors.
"WHAT!" Lockdown demanded.
Silence played out for several moments...
"Optimus Prime killed Megatron," Lockdown snapped.
"What, your processors are fried," Barricade hissed.
"So, you are saying Megatron is still leader of the Decepticons then?" Lockdown asked.
"Yes, before Megatron was brought back Starscream had assumed command; that is until Megatron was revived." Barricade explained to the annoying bounty hunter.
Barricade wondered why Lockdown was ranting and raving about Optimus Prime; and decided to ask him.
"Why were you ranting about Optimus Prime?" Barricade asked.
"Because he blew up my ship and destroyed my trophies; I intend to take every last bit of happiness away from him that is a vow I intend to keep." Lockdown said as he glanced around. "Where the frag am I?" Lockdown demanded.
"Tranquility Nevada," Barricade answered.
Lockdown snarled, and turned away from Barricade who sneered at the bounty hunter.
"I need some high grade," Lockdown said with a grumble.
"I could go for some too," Barricade said as Lockdown turned toward the hunter thinking he was talking to him.
"Not with you, you idiot," Lockdown snarled. "I've got plans to make to cripple Optimus Prime and bring him down to his knees. Revenge will be sweet, but it will take time and I have nothing but time." Lockdown said.
Barricade snorted.
"That's already been tried," Barricade said sarcastically and then added. "Good luck with that," Barricade said with humorless tones as Lockdown laughed in an evil way.
"Not by me it hasn't," Lockdown said as a way too over confident smile hit his lip plates.
He would win, oh yes he most certainly would win. Barricade watched as Lockdown transformed down into his vehicle form and drove off.
"He's scary, who the hell is that?" a female said coming out of hiding; as Barricade turned his helm and saw his mate Mikaela Banes walk up.
"Lockdown, he's a bounty hunter and he has set his sights on Optimus Prime; we have to warn him immediately." Barricade said.
"Obviously Lockdown doesn't know you want to defect to the Autobots side," Mikaela said.
"And let's just hope he doesn't yet; I can learn more from him if he doesn't know." Barricade said as he transformed into his vehicle form. "Let's go, we need to warn, Optimus." Barricade said.
An abandoned airfield...
The Autobots all were in this abandoned airfield; Optimus told his Autobots about what he saw.
"Did you make a clone of Ironhide?" Optimus demanded Joshua Joyce his anger suddenly erupting all over again.
"No, we didn't; wasn't he killed by Sentinel Prime and turned into a rusted mess?" Joshua asked as Optimus snarled at the man; while Katie stayed in Optimus' palm.
Optimus had steam escape his vents in his nose once more; it made him look scary a bit. He knew what he saw; and he saw Ironhide and just wasn't sure how or why?
Katie touched his one finger; she wanted to show her support to him. He glanced down at her; and then nodded that he was grateful or her support.
"Guys, what are we going to do for a place to stay?" Diana asked.
"We can stay here for now; we can get supplies. We can live in the Autobots; we don't know how many people we can trust yet. You have to remember Cemetery Wind and KSI poisoned a lot of people's minds against the Autobots because of Chicago incidents." Barbie said as Attinger, Savoy and Joshua turned away slightly guilty now about all this.
"I agree," Katie said as Optimus nuzzled his face against her body making himself purr; he needed to feel her against him everything was getting to him.
Crosshairs crossed his servos over his chest plates; while Barbie glanced up at him.
"You know, you're not so bad of a mech," she said as he snorted.
"Fine, but if you put cooties on me I will blow a gasket." Crosshairs said.
"Blow 2 there small," Barbie said with a giggle; as he transformed and she climbed into his vehicle form.
"Should we get some supplies then...?" CD asked.
"Yeah, why don't I, CD and Barbie go and the rest stay put?" Katie said.
"I will go with you," Optimus said.
"And me too," Bumblebee said.
"Very well," Optimus said.
"I'll ride with Bee and CD, Katie," Barbie said.
Bumblebee transformed and CD and Barbie got in; while Katie got into Optimus' cab.
They watched Optimus and Bumblebee drive off; it was then Savoy glanced at Lucy and he wanted to say something to her. He hadn't killed Ratchet technically though he did wound him badly; but he hadn't tried to help him either. He walked over toward Lucy to talk to her; she saw him sit down next to her and her blood boiled.
"I'm sorry," he said.
She snorted at that; and looked away as tears ran down her face. She missed Ratchet she could feel her heart hurt with pain. Until suddenly she got a weird feeling in her heart; but it was different.
"What's wrong?" Savoy asked her.
"I feel him," Lucy said in confusion and wonder.
"What, who do you feel?" Joshua asked as Lucy glanced at Diana and Elantra as well as the others.
"I feel Ratchet," she said.
"What...?"
"He's dead," Attinger scuffed. "Lockdown ripped his spark chamber out of him, so there is no way he is coming back." Attinger remarked as Hound growled at him.
"I am for beaming his ass," Hound snarled.
"Look, I was not lying, was I?" Attinger remarked sourly.
"Let's drop him in a giant size toilet and see if he can swim." Hound suggested as Diana laughed.
"Autobots are such wise asses," Attinger snapped.
"You're not helping yourself; if I were you being you want to try and make amends. I would not want to piss off the ones you want to forgive you, that's not a smart idea at all." Elantra said.
"Who said they were smart?" Drift said in a sarcastic tone as Elantra giggled more and he smirked at her.
"Did you like that comment, Sweetling?" Drift asked her as she nodded. "That's my girl," Drift added as Attinger had a sneer on his face.
"Wait, so are you telling me you are having some sort of relationship with human girls?" Attinger demanded of the Autobots.
"How is that possible, you're machines?" Joshua asked as Hound snorted.
"Oh, let me plug his ass for that," Hound snarled as Lucy beat him too it.
She walked up calmly and decked Joshua right square in the nose.
"Hey that hurt!" he shouted.
"That was for those remarks and for your information the Autobots have souls and can feel and love." Lucy said with a snarl.
"More so than humans," Diana and Elantra said.
"Look, I just meant..." Joshua started to say until Lucy stopped him in his tracks.
"I know what you meant; you bastards killed left and right and expect us to just forgive you off the bat. You murdered my mate, and my friends Sideswipe, Dino, The Wreckers, The Twins and Jolt; do I have to go on you slaughtered innocent Autobots." she cried as she went over to sit by herself.
Lucy though for her part couldn't shake the feeling she was getting; she could feel Ratchet and she wasn't sure why?
Attinger looked over at Savoy and Joshua; they just shrugged and walked away to talk amongst themselves. The Autobots were angry with those three human males; and they knew the old Earth saying keep you friends close and your enemies closer so that's how they planned on playing this out.

Xxx

Optimus' vehicle form stayed in the parking lot; while his holoform went with Katie, Barbie and Bumblebee's holoform. Optimus held Katie's hand; while CD and Bee did the same together.
"Oh boy, do I feel like a third wheel," Barbie grumbled. "Why didn't Crosshairs come too?" she mumbled to herself.
The girls, Optimus and Bumblebee headed for different isles for things; while down on the opposite isle was Mikaela grabbing a few things before heading out with Barricade to find Optimus.
Mikaela whistled softly; as she suddenly frowned when she heard a voice. There was no mistaking that soft baritone voice; it was Optimus Prime!
She took off for the other isle; and stopped when she got to the four girls and two guys. Optimus was surprised to say the least; mostly because of what he had learned about what happened to their allies.
"Mikaela...?" Optimus asked.
"Oh my God, I had no idea you were in Tranquility; we were just stocking up on supplies for the trip to the Autobot base. I wasn't sure how well received I'd be for you know breaking up with Sam. But hey you know I've moved on, and also Optimus you have to understand he is good now and just wants to defect. I am his girlfriend now; he is so different." Mikaela said as CD leaned in toward her best friend.
"Her lips were moving and yet, did you understand one word she said?" CD asked Katie.
"Not really, not so much," Katie said.
Mikaela frowned; she was trying to understand who these girls were.
"Who are you?" Mikaela asked sternly to the girls.
Katie's eyebrow rose at that tone of Mikaela's.
"She is my femme, Mikaela; and her friend CD is Bumblebee's femme and their friend likes Crosshairs." Optimus said firmly.
"Oh sorry, Optimus; I didn't know." Mikaela said.
"So, who wishes to defect?" Optimus asked changing the subject quickly.
"Barricade," she said.
"WHAT...?" both Optimus and Bumblebee demanded.
Mikaela rolled her eyes then.
"Barricade left the Decepticons; he left after Mission City. Apparently Starscream left him high and dry; so he got really peeved about it. Don't you remember how he disappeared during all the nonsense in Egypt?" she asked as Optimus nodded. "Well, after Sam and I broke up; I got together with Cade after things were discussed. He told me he wanted a chance to live and the only way to live was to defect. He wants to talk to you; he's in the parking lot." she said.
Optimus was still stunned; he thought back to the Chicago battles. He thought Barricade was there. However he had been so wound up with destroying Decepticons in his path; he wasn't thinking completely coherently either. Optimus sighed; and then glanced back at Mikaela.
"Alright, let us finish with getting our supplies; and then you can follow us and I will speak with him." Optimus said.
Mikaela smiled; and hugged Optimus.
"Thank you, Optimus." Mikaela said.
Optimus nodded.
"Where's your Peterbilt parked?" she asked.
"He has a new vehicle mode it's a Western Star cab," Katie said.
"Oh okay, go ahead and finish your shopping," Mikaela said as Optimus had to ask her a question that was going through his mind.
"Mikaela, how did you, Samuel and Carly get out of confinement?" Optimus asked as she looked shocked at his question.
"Huh...?" Mikaela asked. "Why would you think we were in jail?" she asked.
"Because you were our allies were imprisoned; and NEST was disbanded and replaced with Cemetery Wind after; and those slaggers killed Ratchet, Sideswipe, Dino, and the Wreckers, The Twins and Jolt." Optimus explained as Mikaela stared at Optimus in a bewildered and horrified way. "They blamed us for the battles in Chicago," he added.
Silence...
"Optimus are you alright?" she asked as he looked at her with total and complete confusion in his eyes.
"How can you ask me that, after I just told you about what happened to my men?" Optimus asked as he walked away as Katie went after him.
Mikaela frowned; as she tried to understand what the hell was going on.
"Tell him we will follow him, I will go finish getting what I need; I suggest you do the same." Mikaela said as she headed for another part of the store as a police officer went up to her.
"Kaela, are you alright?" Barricade asked.
"Yeah, I don't know; I ran into Optimus. He has a human girlfriend; and he is acting really flaky." she said as Barricade frowned at her choice of words; flaky was not a word he would choose to describe Optimus Prime.
"Flaky like how?" he asked.
"He said me, Sam and Carly were in jail; and that NEST was disbanded and get this he also said his Autobots were killed. Then he said something had happened in Chicago it was some battle that the Autobots were blamed for." she said and then she added. "He's going to meet with you wants us to follow him; but he has a new vehicle mode it's a Western Star cab he said." she said as he frowned. "Yeah, he's going all weird just go with it for now," she said getting what she needed.
Mikaela still wondered and worried about Optimus Prime; he was her friend and she wanted to help him. So, she'd go to Ratchet and ask him for help about this; yes that's it besides what could happen, right?
In Katie, CD, Barbie, Elantra and Diana's realm...
A scruffy looking blonde comes out of an apartment; her hair a mass of tangles as she locks her door. Her eyes shine with mistrust and anger; as she walks down the walkway toward where her car is parked.
Lori Carroll, 25 year old girl with a chip on her shoulder; she came from a wealthy family. However her parents cut her off from a cent and she was forced to live on her own and get a job. She had hated anything pure and good; and she knew Katie and her friends and she hated them with a bloody passion. She knew Katie had a gift; and helped people and she was jealous of her.
Of course, what Katie didn't know was she had given information to the people who killed Katie's family. Lori had an evil streak within her soul; which hardly anyone knew about but they soon would learn the truth very soon.
Abruptly however, Lori was shaken by powerful tremors like an Earthquake was hitting; and she tried to grab onto something.
"You, human stand before me," a voice commanded as Lori narrowed her eyes.
"Who the hell are you?" she demanded.
The voice merely laughed in a sinister way.
"I am Unicron, the chaos bringer and your new master." he said.
"Kinda sure of yourself, ain't ya?" Lori asked in a snide tone. "Unicron is not real," was her reply then.
He laughed once more.
"You are wrong, very wrong," he answered.
Lori frowned then.
"Oh really, so what do you want with me then?" Lori demanded.
"I plan on sending you into another realm to aide Lockdown in Optimus Prime's capture and enslavement and your own enemies I believe her designation is Katie and her allies are CD, Elantra, Barbie and Diana." Unicron said. "The only problem is once you are in said realm there is no returning to this one," Unicron added.
Lori thought it over and weighed the pros and cons to her decision at hand; she had nothing to keep her in this world not anymore. A sinister smile crossed her lips then; as she thought about everything Unicron was saying.
"So, if I am aiding Lockdown I am being sent to the Age of extinction realm?" she asked.
"No, you are being sent to what is known as the Dark of the moon realm; and there are two versions of Optimus Prime there that need to be dealt with." Unicron said.
"Wait, if that's true the Optimus Prime from Age of extinction does not trust now; so his counterpart would not be happy if that other version of himself attacked humans, correct?" Lori asked in an evil tone.
"Very good, you are very good at plotting," Unicron said.
"Thanks, what about Galvatron will he be sent into this realm too?" Lori asked.
Silence by Unicron at first...
"Yes, he will be sent there at some point," Unicron said.
"Good, okay I am willing to be sent there and help Lockdown; I would suggest letting him know because he seemed to have a slight attitude in the movie." Lori said.
"It shall be done," Unicron said in a booming voice as lightning struck all around Lori making her scream slightly.
"Watch those lightning bolts I don't want to get hit in the ass, okay?" Lori said snidely as the next thing she knew she was sent to the realm of Dark of the moon and had her assignments to help Unicron, the chaos bringer.
