AN: Hi. I have heard from my sister that many of you are waiting for me to continue this and waiting for the chapter where Steeljaw comes back. Well, for there's like four Chapters left before that so be patient. But just to keep your waiting, in this Chapter, there are some hints on what is going on with Elena

Let's Roll Out!

"Small good acts can turn humble squire into a Knight"

It was a nice calm day at Scrapyard. Actually, the only thing that made the sound was Grimlock who was doing something. No one still didn't know what it is, but Gaia said he got a new hobby. This only confused everyone more.

"Guys, I'm going visit our friends in the east," Elena informed while checked her outfit. Usually, when she said "friends in the east." she meant to go visit Griffin Rock and/or Faixan. And she usually dressed formerly when she went there. She was wearing her usual white dress with long sleeves. "anyone likes to come along?"

"Peace could." Strength said.

"Me? I know Sweet is already there, but I thought to stay here and help Fixit." Peace said.

Then Strength pulls her elsewhere to talk.

"I actually REALLY want you to go with her."

"You sound same when you entered into her chamber in Star Tower and broke something that reminded her of Optimus…" Peace said. "What did you do this time?"

"Well…." Strength said while tried to think what to say. "You could say… the same…. Except it happened in her trailer and I didn't actually "broke" something, I "throned" something."

"You entered in her trailer?!"

"Not so loud…" Strength said to her. "Yes, I did enter to her trailer, but that's not what worries me."

"Besides that, you "throned" something?" Peace asked amused. Peace usually didn't enjoy tease other Stars when they admit doing something stupid or awkward, but with Strength, it was different, since he is the only boy among Stars. He usually asked her help than Flame or Aqua. Flame had a temper on certain things while Aqua… well, with her, she either start to explain how situation must handle or worse case she starts to panic and then everyone will know. Peace, she knows to handle things calmly and tells options what to do. Or like Strength hopes even handles the whole situation.

"I'm getting there. I saw some paper on the table and I went to look what it is."

"And what did you find?" Peace asked.

"It was a letter."

"So, she likes to write to Optimus. It's normal…" Peace said.

"No, it didn't look like it was for Optimus…" Strength said awkwardly. Now Peace got curious.

"It didn't? You mean she is writing to someone else? Did you see who it was for?" Peace asked.

"I didn't. I thought the name was on the bottom, but right then our sisters screamed so loud that I throned it apart."

"Strength, the name is always on the top of the letter. Unless… it was practice letter." Peace said.

"Well, it would make sense. Because what I manage to read, this "someone" is in Cybertron." Strength said.

"Cybertron?"

"And here comes the worried part," Strength continued. "While I was reading the letter, it sounded like this "someone" could be…" Strength said before got close to Peace and whispers the final word to ear. Hearing it, Peace was about gasp before Strength covered her mouth. Realizing how things are, Peace took a deep breath few times.

"Are sure about that?" Peace asked.

"It clearly sounded like this "someone" has been here before and has caused problems to Bee and his team."

"Have you asked about this from others?" Peace asked.

"That is our elder sister having a crush on some Con? I'm not that stupid. I could as well ask them who is most hated Con?"

"Okay, it could possibly be someone who was in the Alchemor and was sent back to Cybertron."

"Obvious. I even asked Fixit can I check Alchemor's full manifest to know who could it be. He actually pointed some Cons on the list that were, like he would say 'pain in the bumper'."

"Okay, let me see them." Peace said while Strength sends it to her pad. "And while I go I think I might as well call Star Tower. Maybe there's something about the Stunticons."

"Because of the Star supercomputer?"

"If someone has erased their records from the prison manifest, all will be in the Star supercomputer."

"Okay. Um… can I ask one more thing?"

"I'll bring some dumplings." Peace said while guessing what Strength wants.

"Yes!"

While Peace and Strength came back to Command center, Bumblebee and Strongarm went to see Grimlock.

"Grimlock! What's with the noise?" Strongarm asked.

"There she is, my inspiration. Just in time to see my latest masterpiece." Grimlock said while brings something behind the Groundbridge. "I call it, "Strongarm the Strict!" Grimlock said while showed a sculpture made of different materials that looked like Strongarm. Or at least supposed to.

"It's a striking resemblance." Bumblebee said.

"That looks nothing like me! It's just junk turned into other junk." Strongarm said.

"Junk? You clearly don't understand art." Grimlock said.

"Actually it kinda looks like Strongarm if she ever goes undercover," Young said.

"In samba skirt?" Aqua pointed awkwardly.

"Oh good one. She has her arms up for that." Gaia said and started to dance bit Samba in which Young started to laugh and Aqua tried at least hold it.

"See? Stars know that it's art." Grimlock said.

Then suddenly alarm started beeping

"What's the story, Fixit?" Bumblebee asked while they all came close to the Command Center.

"Unsure. I've intercepted a strange communication coded with an ancient Cybertronian encryption technique. But I can't decode it." Fixit said.

"Maybe it's the Stunticons, using old tech to bait us into a trap," Strongarm said.

"Hmm, unlikely. The signal is coming from an island off the coast of ...England? England!" Fixit cheered.

"England? Weren't we there once?" Aqua asked.

"In its Capital, London. I took you to try local food. You know, Fish and chips." Elena reminded.

"Mmm… Yummy."

"Russell's been showing me movies that are set in England! Bold knights, dashing spies, mop-topped musicians. It seems like a land of incredible heroism." Fixit explained his enthusiasm.

"Think you could, you know, take a break from your travelogue to fire up the GroundBridge? I'll make a quick solo trip to investigate." Bumblebee said.

"Uh, sir, you should probably bring someone with you who has a deeper knowledge of the local culture," Fixit suggested.

"But big sis is going to visit others." Gaia reminded.

"Oh, I didn't mean her," Fixit said.

"Heh, alright. Come on, Fixit." Bumblebee said.

"Huzzah! Ha, ha!" Fixit cheered.

"But who will then handle Command center?" Aqua asked.

"I WILL!" Strength shout lifting his hand. "I mean,... I could watch over."

"Last time you complained about staying here." Young reminded.

"That was because… there was nothing to do and Fixit was only doing his tests to figure out Combining stuff. No offense" Strength said.

"None taken," Fixit said. "It's all yours," he said before activated the Groundbridge. "Strongarm, might we borrow your Decepticon Hunter?"

"Fixit, that won't be necessary." Bumblebee said.

"It's only right that a knight gallops into adventure carrying a sword," Fixit said.

"Now, Fixit." Peace said. "Sometimes it takes small good actions to squire to become a Knight. Remember that."

Fixit wasn't sure what she meant, but he nodded for that.

"No problem, sir," Strongarm said before giving her Decepticon hunter to Fixit. "Have fun storming the castle. Or, whatever."

Then Bumblebee and Fixit passed through Groundbridge while Bee tried to tell Fixit that knights and spies are just stories.

"Well, I should be going myself then," Elena said.

"I'll come." Peace said.

"But you already have given the necessary information to the director. Sweet is giving the rest."

"True. But I could take the opportunity to contact Star Tower and ask how things are in Cybertron." Peace said.

"Is it that serious?" Aqua asked.

"I don't know. That's why I go there." Peace said. "Plus, I could ask about Stunticons."

"Oh, good point. Nothing stays unknown by Star SuperComputer." Gaia said.

"And since BurnStar hid it, No one can get inside and remove the data off from it," Strongarm said.

"Exactly."

Soon Peace and Elena arrived at Faixan. There they met Quickshadow and Blurr. Turns out Blades and his human partner Dani were handling rescue mission with Hightide.

"Another intern session?" Peace asked from Blurr.

"Well, it sure worked at Crown city," Blurr said. "What brings you two here? Sweet has done well here."

"We are here actually here on the serious matter," Elena said.

"Remember those two Stunticons we faced before you left?" Peace asked.

"Still out there?" Blurr asked.

"Yes, and since Fixit couldn't find their records, there has to be one possible solution. The Star supercomputer." Peace said.

"I can see where you're going with this," Quickshadow said. "If someone has removed those records, the Star supercomputer sure knows about it."

"You can fool everyone, but you can't fool the Stars." Peace said.

"Well, I go see Sweet and how well they had managed to make our series," Elena said.

"No hurry. Just enjoy the show." Peace said while waved until Elena has left to other direction.

"You're acting weird," Blurr said.

"There other reason to come here, is there?" Quickshadow asked.

"In a way. And it involves calling to Star Tower." Peace said while headed to the main lab.

In the main lab, all the scientist respected any Star who need any assistance. Afterall it was thanks to former PeaceStar who thought all which turn their city into High-tech city and revealed the truth of Transformers. And they also had communication to Star Tower.

Once Blurr and QuickShadow escorted Peace to the huge computer, in which to call Star Tower, they left back on duty and Peace made Contact to Star Tower.

"PeaceStar to Star Tower, do you copy?"

"Peace?" heard a voice on the screen, before familiar face appeared. She looked like a Star, but she no longer had Star decors on her. She looked now more like a bot then Star, but she had some resemblance to Stars.

"How is everything there, BurnStar?" Peace asked.

"It's getting a bit crowded in here. We soon need to get more places as a sanctuary." BurnStar said.

"More places? Why?" Peace asked.

"Ever since I hid the Star Tower and you went to Earth to others, things had gone far serious here. I had to get all our friends to safety here."

"All?"

"Well, Ratchet, Windblade, and Jazz are with Optimus, Bulkhead is out of Cybertron somewhere. Otherwise, everyone else is here."

"Oh Thank father Primus..." Peace sighed of relief. "But what going on there?"

"I'm not sure. All I know that Knockout and Moonrise came in rush and once inside they told that is dangerous to go out."

"Is everyone alright there now?" Peace asked.

"Luckily, We have energon to survive, but I don't think we can go out. If this keeps up, we have moved outside of the city to desert. Knockout has a lab there and it should hold enough space for all of us."

"Good, but I wish at least you and some will stay in Star Tower just in case." Peace said. "On to the next topic, I called you for two things. First of all, I need a record of some Stunticons." Peace said.

"Stunticons?" Burn asked. "How many?"

"So far four."

"Oh, Scrap..."

"BURN!"

"I'm not Star anymore." Burn said to defense. "However, that means there should be one in close by."

"So there's five of them."

"What you expect? Don't you remember? Last time we saw them, was when Cybertron came barren."

"Well, what they have been doing after the war?"

"According to here… hmm… This is interesting… I did find their records, but someone had erased it from the prison manifest."

"We noticed that too. You still have a backup file of their records?"

"Let's see… here it is. They have been taking over roads of some planets. In worse case even caused the destruction of an entire planetary system."

"So, they're still on the blacklist." Peace said. "But why would someone then erase their records then? does it show who did it?"

"Well, there's no name, but here it shows where it was done and...Oh."

"What you mean 'Oh'?"

"According to here, the records were removed in High Council's Computers."

Now there was deep silence. High Council, why not be surprised. If everything goes as they suspect, then it will matter of time before this becomes a serious matter. Speaking of "serious matter"...

"Burn, were you receiving prisoners of Alchemor in Cybertron?"

"Well..."

"STOP! STOP! STOOOOP!"

The yell interrupted Peace and Burn and other scientists from their works, while they looked who yelled and find exhausted SweetStar taking a deep breath and looking bit red.

"Sweet?" Peace asked.

"I have one question first," Sweet said while still pants from running and sits down. " Burn, you were there receiving prisoners of Alchemor in Cybertron?"

"That's what I just asked!" Peace informed sounding bit annoyed.

"This has something to do with Elena, doesn't it?" Burn asked.

"Yes!" Sweet said.

"So, you know what we're going to ask."

"Well, I wasn't first sure should I be worried," BurnStar said. "But now that you ask this, the way how Optimus reacted and what I saw. I think it seems obvious."

Sweet was starting to squeal little.

"She is having a crush." Sweet declared.

"Sweet, I think it's more serious case. It's more like...the 'L' word" BurnStar reminded. Sweet gasped on excitement hearing that.

"On Con?" Peace asked.

"Trust me, I was surprised much as you are." Burn said. "I only went with Arcee and Ultra Magnus to pick up the prisoners..."

Flashback

At first, we heard Ratchet's voice we went to help to move prisoners out to our ship since you already know how it was with Ratchet. Of course, we were more surprised when we saw Optimus Alive. We were so happy, especially Arcee. (Quiet, Sweet.) Yes, it was a happy reunion, but while we were moving prisoners into stasis pods and out Optimus said that he needs to handle something and asked Arcee with him. (No, they weren't going to do that, Sweet. Clean your mind, would ya.)

I could tell it was something serious by the way Optimus say it. And I mean deadly serious. I first thought it was because of High Council and I thought to follow them and if it is necessary, explain the situation. I followed them to one chamber. But I didn't get inside so I had to use my lava powers on the wall to hear what was going on.

"What you want, Prime?" heard annoyed, but somehow hurt voice.

"I kind of like to know that same about yourself," Optimus answered.

"Optimus, what's going on?" Arcee asked.

I got more curious and I wanted to see who Optimus was talking about. But I couldn't get inside without being noticed, so I had to listen more.

"I want an honest answer from you. What does our daughter means to you?"

"What?" Arcee asked. I was shocked myself when heard that myself.

"Okay... I didn't expect to have this conversation so soon. Although I knew I would have a talk with future in-laws someday." the con said in sarcasm.

"Watch what you say next, con," Arcee warned while I heard weapon loaded to aim.

"Well, I see now, where she gets the guts. Which is good."

"Just answer the question, Steeljaw," Optimus said. Now I got excited, I now know the name of this con, I could check it afterward.

"Why does it matter to you?" Steeljaw asked. "No matter what I say, it won't change a thing. I'll be locked up with the rest of the criminals only dreaming to get free and get payback what was taken me!"

"So, that is your answer? You don't feel nothing for our daughter?" Optimus asked calmly as usual.

There was deep silence. I couldn't tell what was going on because I couldn't see. After a while, all I could hear was a sigh. Or I think that was a sigh. Then I heard footsteps getting closer to the door, so I move away from the wall. Then the door opened where Optimus and Arcee came out.

"Optimus, what was all that?" Arcee asked.

"I explain to you," Optimus said to her while they walked elsewhere. Well, I was curious too to know what was going on and what it has to do with Elena. But before I could follow them, I first wanted to know who is this con they were talking. So I sneaked into that room. There were prison cells, but all of them were empty, except one.

One hold a Decepticon that resembles earth's wolf. I expected to see the angry con, wishing for revenge like I just heard. But he didn't look like that. Sure he looked first angry, but it looked more like he was angry at himself or someone else, but after a while, he looked sad. Until...

"I was the one who had it all
I was the master of my fate
I never needed anybody in my life
I learned the truth too late"

I was surprised to hear him sing. Well, I guess that part of the wolf, which needs to howl the moon. But I decided to take chance to learn his true intentions.

"I'll never shake away the pain
I close my eyes but she's still there
I let her steal into my melancholy heart
It's more than I can bear"

She? Does he mean Elena? Whatever must have happened, he didn't seem to expect that. And call me crazy but I think he is in … you know.

"Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she runs away
She will still torment me
Calm me, hurt me
Move me, come what may"

He looked so confused. I take he has never felt like that before. But I quite sure what was going on. (Sweet, ssh!)

"Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And be with me for evermore"

I decided to leave quietly as possible, which I did. I thought it would be best if Optimus knows about this. If he is willing to forgive Megatron, who was most horrible and terrified Decepticon ever, maybe he will consider listening to him also. It took some time, but I find the chamber where he and Arcee were. Instead of knocking, I started to listen again. (I know, I know. But if I would have gone in, they would have asked how I know and I had to reveal them that I have listened to them secretly.) But I take he had already explained most of it.

"When Fixit informed the all Decepticons were in stasis, we all were glad for the news."

"But..." Arcee asked, knowing there was more.

"But when I looked at Elena, I, of course, tried to get use the view that she had new look." Optimus continued.

"Well, Now you know how we felt when saw you after forge of Solus Prime fixed you. Not to mention when Primes brought you back." Arcee said.

"But that's wasn't what concerned me," Optimus said. "When she opened her optics, I could tell something was troubling her. It was like she… she had something unsolved there."

"You think she..."

"I wasn't sure first. Until Bumblebee and others brought other prisoners they had managed to capture. At that time, Elena also came along. A first, I thought she went looking for something, but for a while, I thought if we could talk a bit before we left, so I went look for her. At first, I couldn't find her until I heard her crying somewhere. I followed her sound until I find myself in the ventilation chamber. I wasn't sure first why she would be there until I found her crying, close to him."

I was about gasped when I heard that, but I luckily covered my mouth.

"I tried to process what was going on. I knew it would have been a matter of time before she… finds someone special. But with a con? I tried to find a right way to react, while I heard her crying why he must be like that and why she always thought that guys are jerks"

"I kinda have that thought during the war, until I met you." Arcee reminded. That makes sense.

"While she cried, I started to think deeply about this. Considering, what is going on in Cybertron and his criminal records I'm not surprised he turned into...that. And like in war, every sentient being deserves another chance."

"So what happened?" Arcee asked.

"After a while crying, Elena started to get up. I took some time react when she left a kiss on his head. When she was heading to out of the chamber, she noticed me. I could notice that she was worried how I will react and looked away fearing the worst possible reaction from me. I just stood there, while she runs away from there without looking at me."

"Optimus..." Arcee said. (I take they were hugging. SWEET!)

"While we were on our way to Cybertron, I received a call from the Rescue team. Turns out Elena has spent there most of her time now while grieving. Somehow, Cody and Frankie learned what was going on."

"Well, she has now confessed to someone. And they are in way part of our 'big family'. Give her time and she will open for you."

"I know."

End of Flashback

"After that, I went continue our work to move stasis pods to our ship and move it to Cybertron and you know the rest." BurnStar finished.

Peace and Sweet were quiet now. Well, Sweet was about to squeal again, but Peace shut her up.

"So, what is Optimus's opinion?" Peace asked.

"I don't know. Like I said I went after that." Burn said.

"Well, that might explain Elena's behavior..."

"Behavior?"

"Strength found that she has written letters to someone. And they sound to be to Optimus." Peace said. "If what you say is true, then looks certain that Elena is..."

"Um… Speaking of Elena, have you seen her?" Sweet asked.

"What you mean? She went looking you in the studio." Peace said.

"Um… No, she didn't. I just heard someone say that you two came here and that you went lab, so I knew you were going to make a call, so I hurried here..."

"Wow Wow. You mean none of you doesn't know where she is now?" BurnStar asked.

Peace and Sweet looked at each other.

"SCRAP!" both say.

Peace and Sweet came out from the lab. Usually, this wouldn't bother them, but this is a first time Elena has said to be somewhere but is not. So obviously it worries them.

"How we're going to find her?" Sweet asked.

"I think I know how..." Peace said and activated her watch. In this, she first got her Star outfit, but then it started to change the item of wind element, the gym ribbon. She had now pink yellow sleeveless wide leg jumpsuit with transparent blue satin belt. She still had same gloves, but now she had a different hairstyle. One blue pink cut by the front on the right and neat long straight hair behind her.

After this Peace floats up to the sky to see any sight of Elena. People in the Faixan saw it and since they are aware the existence of Autobots they were amazed.

"Is that?" Blurr asked Quickshadow who also noticed Peace.

"It sure looks like it," QuickShadow said. "Let's go," she said while transformed and headed to the lab. Blurr followed her lead.

Once Peace saw they are coming, she shouts to Sweet.

"Sweet, explain the situation to Quickshadow and Blurr. I go ahead," she said before flew ahead.

Peace kept flying over the whole town, but nothing. This left only one area, which was left as natural habitat for local animals. Plus, Elena likes nature. Peace fly there and everything looked to be calm The sun was setting and some of the local wildlife was going to sleep or waking up.

Peace kept looking, until she hears a familiar voice, singing. She followed that voice until she found Elena standing on the huge rock near the shore, singing.

"I rage against the trials of love
I curse the fading of the light
Though he's already flown so far beyond my reach
He's never out of sight"

Elena took hold of the rock so she won't fall while moved to another side of the rock to see the sunset.

"Now I know he'll never leave me
Even as he fades from view
He will still inspire me
Be a part of everything I do"

Elena reaches her hand trying to catch the fading sun before she starts to climb up to the top of the cliff.

"Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door"

Soon as Elena has reached the top of the cliff she looks down either to calm down or hold her cry. It was hard to say to Peace.

"I'll fool myself, he'll walk right in
And as the long, long nights begin

She starts to get up and looks once on the horizon which shows red purple-colored sky.

I'll think of all that might have been
Waiting here for evermore"

Peace just floats there, wondering how to react. She has never seen Elena like this. Not even her former self. Well, back then Elena knew it would be risky because she thought to be dead and she got involved in the Great war of Cybertron. But still, this is unexpected.

"Elena?"

Hearing her name Elena gasped and looked up to see PeaceStar in her full power form.

"Peace… I..." Elena tried to say.

"Weren't you supposed to be visiting Sweet? I found out you never went there." Peace said. "Since when you started to lie?"

"I didn't mean to… it such that…" Elena tried to say while holding on to the silver bracelet on her left hand. Peace noticed this but decided not to mention it. One thing to find out what's going on, but upsetting her won't solve it.

"I think you should stay in Faixan for awhile." Peace said.

"Me to stay here?" Elena asked.

"Well, you can go to Griffin Rock as well. But you don't seem to be alright at the scrapyard and you obviously don't want talk about it."

Elena looks down sadly.

"I fear others won't understand me," Elena admits. "I have tried, but I don't think Bee or others aren't and neither won't other Stars."

"Well, you should try to tell on those you truly trust. Like Optimus." Peace said. "You know he is a Prime, so he obviously will listen."

"I'll...I'll think about it,"Elena answered.

"Fine with me." Peace said. "Can we go back now, before they send Blade and Dani looking for you. You know, how Blades starts to worry."

Elena nodded before Peace took a shape of Griffin and allowed Elena sat on her while they fly back to the city.

"You won't tell this to others, right?" Elena asked.

"Nope. But I have one question." Peace said. "Is he cute?"

Elena chuckled and shook her head on that.

REVIEWS, PLSS ^^

AN: There. I wish to get to the "Moon Breaker" soon. But I got many things to do. So I really appreciate that you manage to wait. Now I try to continue writing and Checking
