Once again, don't own anything! *Ioton Language*


As Starscream, Sixshot, Jazz, and Prowl headed back to Decepticon base; they're unknown eavesdropper shimmered into view, he sighed and took out his communicator, *Sir, I realize you're still recovering, but we have a problem.*

Surprisingly, a more mature Hot Rod respond, *Mirage, what has that traitor done now?*


Somewhere, on a primitive planet in space…

Icy Road, sighed as she gazed at her reflection in the river, she was taller now with a few age lines as well as a more mature voice, but other than that she looked the same with small antennas, blue flames on her chest, arms, and legs, as well as golden optics; she was the imagine of her grandmother according to Kup, but with her father's coloring and head features from he's old body according to what her mother told her a long time ago. Suddenly, her communicator beeped, *Slag, now what?* she asked as she took it out of subspace, *Arona, here.*

*Ro, have you been back home, yet?* her brother asked.

*No, Roddy. I haven't…why?*

Quickly her brother explained what happened on Earth, *Great,* she grumbled.

*Yes, things are going to the pit real fast,* he said to her, *When you have sufficiently recovered, go home! Forgot the file and concentrate on cutting he's connection to the planet permanently!*

*Roddy!* Arona protested, *He will know when that connection is cut and it will take me a slagging while to do that! And Ion is cold, even for me! Besides, I'm only behind you, not mother! I don't…*

Quickly cutting her off, *Consider it an order! If you must... stop for a while, return to you're camp and regain your strength, then go back to try again! At the moment he can use his connection to the planet to bypass the safeguards our ancestors put against his master as well as have some measure of power! That connection must be eternally cut!* Her brother sighed with regret, *Arona, I am sorry I am forcing you to do this, but with him starting trouble here on Earth I can't leave. Besides, you get along better in winter weather than I every did.*

Arona groaned, *Fine, at least there will be an added bonus of him never being able to return to Ion. Anything else you need from home?*

*Get any information you can on the Allspark, it should be in the same place where we found the data crystals on our ancestors' weapons.* he ordered.

*Quite the shopping list you've got for me brother,* she sarcastically said, *What about that file Kup wants?*

*If you can find it easily, go ahead and get it. But, you're main priority is that connection! As soon as you cut it and regain you're strength, head straight for Earth. I have the feeling we're going to need all the help we can get.*

*All right, I'll do what you ordered big brother, Arona out.*

*I am only you're elder by five clicks, Rodimus out.*


Earth...Somewhere in the Grand Canyon…

Rodimus groaned as clicked off he's communicator and leaned he's head back on the cave wall, finding this little cave that the humans' didn't know about in this tourist filled area wasn't easy, but he did it. Suddenly, he's communicator chirped again, *What now?* he muttered wearily, *Rodimus, here.*

*Mirage, here. I am here within Decepticon territory, do you believe I should remain?* he asked.

*As long as possible,* Rodimus replied, *I don't want Lighting Shock to know that we are on to he's little plan. Is that the reason you contacted me, Mirage?*

*No, I just wanted to let you know that Hound is traveling near you're position.*

*Why didn't you say so in the first place, Rodimus out!* Quickly, he cut communication, and transformed in flash of fire.

As he was flying away he thought, 'I truly don't see what Arona sees in him, he is almost exactly like Prowl!'
