A/N: I do not own Transformers

Sirius looked at the landing pad that had been constructed for the Ark. It was pretty hastily put together but they had made sure that it would hold up

against the weight of the huge Autobot ship. Nervousness and excitement coursed through her systems as she stood next to Bluestreak, Skyfall, and

Bumblebee at the back of the group with most of the humans. Will and Epps were sitting on Ironhide's shoulders and two young adults, named Sam

and Mikaela were sitting on Bumblebee's shoulders. Optimus Prime, Jazz, and Ironhide were all standing in the front with Ratchet, Moonracer, Arcee, and

Chromia just behind them. Sideswipe, Jolt, Mudflap, and Skids were behind them. Everyone's gaze was turned skyward as they searched the over cast

skies for any sign of the Ark. Suddenly a low rumble filled the air before a large space ship broke through the cloud cover. The scars of numerous space

battles were clearly visible on its hull in the form of dark scars. The Autobot emblem barely stood out amongst the blast marks and the wield scars but

it was still visible. Awe and amazement were visible on the faces of those who had never seen the Ark before including the three Terraformers.

"That is one big ship." said Bluestreak "That is waaaaay bigger than Kup's ship."

"It's sheer size is quite impressive." said Skyfall "If I remember correctly from Kup's models, it's a vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor."

"It resembles one." said Sirius "But my scans say that it is a transport rather than a war ship. It possesses high level shields but very few plasma

cannons. It wasn't designed for combat." Skyfall nodded in agreement as he continued to look at the ship. The three Terraformers glanced at each other

when they felt extra presences in their sparks and they knew that today was the day they had been waiting for for almost their entire lives, the day that

they were reunited with their creators.

"Keep her steady Hound." said Prowl from his position in front of the captain's seat "We don't want to crash."

"Roger." said Hound as he held the ship steady "Wheeljack, give me some readings."

"Our angle of descent is four degrees too steep." said Wheeljack, the fins on the side of his head flashing as he spoke "I suggest you bring

the front of the ship up before we get too far into our descent."

"I'm on it." said Hound as he slowly adjusted the angle of the ship "It's not exactly easy to land this thing but at least I have a target this

time."

"Shut it Hound." said Springer "This is no time for joking around."

"Yeah, yeah." said Hound "I've landed this thing more times than you could count, so why don't you shut it Springer."

"At least I wasn't the one who crashed on that planet that was filled with carnivorous cave slugs." said Springer. Hound went to retort but

Prowl cut him off.

"That's enough." said Prowl "Just focus on landing. We don't want any mishaps."

"Yes sir." said Hound and Springer before returning to their assigned duties. Prowl sighed before feeling his sparkmate over their bond for the first

time in a long time but there was also something else. He could feel a second presence in his spark but just barely and it made him curious. Jazz was

definitely going to need to give him some answers once the Ark was safely on the ground.

While the Ark was landing, most of the Autobots had gathered in the rec. room and talking amongst themselves. Mirage was leaning against the wall

next to the door way, just listening to the idle conversations of the other Autobots. He could feel Hound's anxiety as his sparkmate attempted to land

the ship and he kept feeding him reassurance over their bond. But something else was on Mirage's mind at the moment. He could feel another presence

on the edges of their bond. There was no logical reason he should be feeling another presence within the bond he and Hound shared unless..... No, he

wouldn't get his hopes up that their sparkling was on this planet. She had been lost far too long and maybe his processor was just playing tricks on him.

The loss of their first and only sparkling had crushed Hound and the normally cheerful mech had been in a long depression that he had just started

recovering from. There was no need to give him false hope at the moment. Mirage put a hand over his spark before sighing again. He'd have to ask Ratchet

to scan his spark once they landed if the feeling continued. No one noticed this gesture except for Skyfire, who caught it out of the corner of his optic from

his seat at a table with his fellow scientists; Crosscut, Rad, and Perceptor. Skyfire looked down at the table as his colleagues were talking about the organic

world that was going to be their new home. The tall mech was more focused on the presence that he could now feel in his spark. It definitely wasn't

Starscream because Skyfire broke the bond he had with his former sparkmate a long time ago. This presence also felt rather innocent and Skyfire knew

that Starscream was far from innocent. That left only one option and he was sure that his sparkling, Sky, had been killed when his small shuttle had

exploded all those years ago. He couldn't be alive, could he? Skyfire was brought out of his musings by the ship suddenly jerking before the intercom

crackled to life and Prowl's voice echoed through the Ark.

"Everyone, brace yourselves." said Prowl "We will be landing shortly." Prowl looked at Hound, who was fighting to keep the Ark steady.

"We're still going in too steep!" said Wheeljack "Pull the bow up two degrees or we'll crash!"

"I'd be more than happy to do that." said Hound "But the planet's gravity is a bit stronger than we calculated. I need a hand with this

thing!"

"I'm on it!" said Springer as he ran over to Hound. He grabbed the co-pilot control's and began helping Hound get the ship leveled out.

"Alright we're level." said Wheeljack "We'll be landing in less than six nano-klicks. Five, four, three, two, one..." The Ark jerked as it's

landing gear hit the ground before settling into a level position on the ground "And we have landed."

"Well that went better than expected." said Hound with a smile on his face.

"Oh, shut up Hound." said Springer as he crossed his arms.

Meanwhile, those who were outside of the Ark had to shield their optics and eyes from the cloud of dust that the landing space craft kicked up and

several of the humans were coughing to clear the dust from their lungs. Then an uneasy silence fell upon those present as they waited for the ship to

do something. Suddenly, a hissing noise filled the air as a door opened on the side of the Ark, followed by a ramp being lowered. Four mechs then began

to walk down the ramp and Optimus recognized the one in the front.

"Autobot Prowl reporting for duty, Optimus, sir." said Prowl with a salute.

"Autobot Hound reporting for duty, sir." said mech to his right.

"Autobot Wheeljack reporting for duty." said the mech to his left.

"And Autobot Springer reporting for duty." said the mech at the back of the group.

"It's good to see you all again." said Optimus "It would be best if you downloaded the human language called english off of the World

Wide Web, so that our allies understand what you are saying." There was a moment of silence as the four mechs downloaded the english

language.

"It's good to finally see you again as well sir." said Prowl "Many of the soldiers were saddened to hear that the All Spark was destroyed but they were

also glad that we have a new world to call home."

"It's good ta see ya again, Prowl." said Jazz as he stepped forward.

"Hello Jazz." said Prowl with a nod of his head before looking to see who else was present. Ironhide stood to Optimus' left and perched on his shoulders

were two small organics or humans as they were known on this planet. Ratchet with Moonracer, Chromia, and Arcee stood just behind them and then

there was Sideswipe, Mudflap, and Skids. Standing in the back with the rest of the humans was Bumblebee with two humans on is shoulders and two

femmes and a mech he did not recognize.

"Wheeljack," said Optimus "Please inform those aboard that they need to download the english language and that Ratchet will be aboard shortly in order

to conduct exams."

"Yes sir." said Wheeljack before going back into the Ark. While Optimus had been speaking to Wheeljack, Prowl found his gaze drawn towards one of the

two unknown femmes. She was around Jazz's height with pale blue armor and she strongly resembled himself right down to the intense steel blue optics.

It was like looking into a mirror. She seemed a bit nervous as she stood between a tall, red and white mech and an average sized, dark blue-green femme.

He felt amusement from Jazz coming over their bond and when he looked at the saboteur, the silver mech gave him a smirk that basically said, 'I know

something you don't'. Prowl raised an optic ridge at Jazz before looking back at Optimus, who had turned to face Ratchet.

"Ratchet," said Optimus "You and your team have permission to go aboard."

"Right." said Ratchet as he began to walk towards the Ark "Moonracer, Sirius, come with me." Moonracer nodded began to walk towards the Ark, followed

by the dark blue-green femme that Prowl didn't know. As she walked past him, the Autobot SIC took note of the silver decals on her door wings and back

and wondered if he should keep an eye on this particular individual or just leave her alone. As she walked by Hound, the scout and tracker felt another

presence in his spark that wasn't Mirage and he could help but notice that she looked an awful lot like Mirage but he didn't get the chance to take a close

enough look at her because she vanished into the Ark.

"Ratchet?" said Sirius as she caught up to the Autobot CMO "Why did that mech, Hound, feel so familiar?" Ratchet glanced down at his student.

"It's complicated Sirius." he said "I'll explain it to you later. Right now, we have a job to do."

"Right." said Sirius "I won't let you down, sir!'

"That's the spirit, kid." said Ratchet as they entered the Ark's med bay. Two mechs were already waiting in the room when they entered.

"First Aid, Hoist!" said Ratchet as he approached them "I hope you two kept everything running smoothly while I was gone."

"Of course we did." said the one called Hoist.

"You would've had our afts if we didn't." said First Aid "It's good to see you again Moonracer."

"Hello Hoist. Hello First Aid." said Moonracer as Wheeljack entered the room.

"Ratchet it's good to see you again!" said Wheeljack "How have you been old friend?"

"As good as I'll ever be." replied Ratchet "Everyone, this is my new student Sirius. Be nice to her but don't get too friendly."

"Sure thing Ratchet." said Wheeljack before turning to Sirius "Hello, I'm Wheeljack. Chief Engineer of the Autobots." He held out his hand for Sirius to

shake.

"Sirius." She replied as she shook his hand "Leader of the Autobot's new Terraformer division and Ratchet's student."

"Right, save the rest of the introductions for later." said Ratchet "Right now, we've got to run a thorough systems check on each and every single 'Bot

on this ship before they can be cleared to leave the ship, so let's move it!"

"Yes Sir!"

Right now that chapter nine is finally done, I can give you the results of Skyfall's poll.

Skyfall will be paired up with Moonracer.

I have also posted the last poll up on my profile.

Who should I pair Sirius with?

Optimus Prime or Blaster?
