Two days later there was another attack which knocked Lily out, when she came to she quickly went to the EDC base but was quickly turned down

"Sorry kids aren't allowed no matter who their parents are"

As soon as Lily heard that she knew that her family wouldn't know her and as such left, but came back that night using skills that her family had taught her and managed to not only get into the base but also into their system to figure out exactly what was wrong and soon found out she was in another dimension. Having learned all about them from both her family and the Ultra's she quickly left and decided to bide her time knowing that it would eventually come where she could reveal herself and what happened to her to this dimension's family. Three weeks after she had blended in she got her opportunity

"Okay let's see, Quintessons, Sharkticons, Decepticons, Lacronions, and...oh yes Doralics, looks like my family's work is cut out for them, good thing they have a hand that they aren't expecting"

Lily slipped on her gloves and soon got into the fight, well okay not right away she first got to where the fighting line was established

"Kid get out of here"

"Not a chance"

"Kid..."

"Talk to you guys later"

She ran ahead of the rest of the EDC officer and since she knew she couldn't reveal her powers quite yet took great satisfaction in punching a Sharkticon hard

"Man that felt good"

The reason why it felt so good was because even though it was in another dimension she discovered that during the search a few of her family members had been hurt by Sharkticons on a planet they had searched for her and Rumble so the punch was payback because it didn't matter to her that she was in an alternate dimension and these Sharkticons weren't the ones who had hurt her family, to her they were Sharkticons and there was no better opportunity to get payback but then. Meanwhile several of the EDC officers simply stared at her in shock

"Captain...did that kid just punch a Sharkticon with their bare hands and succeed?"

"Uh-huh"

"Just making sure"

"Captain shouldn't we help the kid out?"

"Right, let's get in there then"

Everyone quickly snapped out of their daze and started helping Lily out who continued simply fighting but then she realized that they were outnumbered and needed an extra hand and Lily knew that meant she was up in ways that these officers weren't expecting, though she knew what was going to happen after the battle but it was a good thing in her mind"

"Arranyan winds! Arranyan power blast! Arranyan chains! Arranyan shields!"

Each attack, or the one defense was called out almost in quick succession and she kept shocking the EDC officers, but eventually she collapsed onto her knees in exhaustion

"Kid, you need to come with us, we'll finish the battle but right now you need shelter"

"Okay, just one more thing and then I'll come willingly"

She picked up one of the weapons that had been dropped and aimed at a Decepticon hitting them dead on

"Got ya"

She then retreated and after the battle was brought to Optimus. After he heard her story he knew they would and could help though it would take a bit of time

"I knew it would, but I'll be very glad to go home"

"I'm sure you would, the current situation must seem strange to you"

"It is a little, I really didn't like fighting the Decepticons because I consider them family, but I decided that I would imagine them under something's influence and had no choice if I wanted to try and break the influence even slightly"

"But even that type of scenario would be hard on you still"

"Yeah, it's happened before though and a necessary evil in my mind"

"Maybe, but now you've given me hope that some day this war will end"

"Even when it does, it will take years before there is true integration once more, you can't expect things to be smooth instantly even if you pass on knowledge about me to the rest of your forces"

"That may be so, but knowing about you might very well be a good starting point in trust because that will tell them that with time the Decepticons will calm down and trust us and us trust them for humans to trust both of us with their offspring...depending on several factors of course"

Three months later the Autobots had finally succeeded in figuring out a way of getting Lily back to her own dimension and so through walking through a portal she was back in her dimension, though unconscious. Several hours later she finally woke up and she even recognized where she was because she had been there before. What had happened when Lily was taken back to her dimension was that while the location in the dimension she had returned from had been the EDC base, in her actual dimension it was close to Crew GUYS headquarters and one of the security people had discovered her and immediately had her brought to the base medical facility, so she simply got into her clothes and went to the command center knowing she would get her answers there

*Hey, Ryu, what's the date?*

*Lily you're awake, you've been missing three weeks now*

*Three weeks?*

Ryu noticed something in the question and as such asked her a valid question that unfortunately she couldn't immediately answer

*What is it?*

*In private please?*

*Sorry, no can do, at least not at the moment everyone is currently on high alert due to a recent threat*

*My family?*

*The threat and as such the alert includes them*

*Understood, think I'll stay here for a bit until we can contact my family and let them know I'm safe*

*Oh, we already did that, but there's a curfew at the moment so you're still not going any where's until tomorrow at least*

*Fine, but I'm still not speaking about the issue in front of the rookies*

*Rookies?!*

*Yes, to me you guys are rookies, how long have you actually been fighting?*

*Two years*

*Exactly, that's not a lot of time to me for reasons I am not getting into right now*

*Lily, exactly how long have you been awake?*

*Not long*

*Go get some food, Mirai is set to come back from patrol in a few minutes so you might see him as well which will be good for him*

*Haven't you told him yet?*

*Not...exactly*

*Why not?*

*Part of the threat is that our communications have been hacked*

*Then how did you tell my family?*

*We barely kept it secure by saying we were coming over for some weapons training which happens on a regular basis so wouldn't be suspicious and told them in person while doing some actual training, for Mirai I told him that we needed to talk once his patrol was over and that I had a surprise for him when he got back as well*

*Well if you haven't told him then our mutual friends don't know either do they?*

*No they don't, not even one who you're close with, he's gone home and cut himself off according to the others*

*Yeah I could tell that part instantly*

One of the younger ones spoke up

*How?*

But it wasn't Lily or Ryu who answered but Mirai due to the fact that he wanted to report in to Ryu personally and had seen Lily from behind but instantly recognized her
