Bailey knew the trip only lasted for several days, although it felt like months. Through the window, she could see Cybertron.

"Finally," smiled Sentinel, "we're home!"

"So this is Cybertron," commented Bailey, "I never thought I would see it for myself."

"I wish you could be seeing it at its height," sighed Sentinel, "at least from up here you can't see the war torn land or the deserts where there used to be seas."

Sentinel pointed at what seemed to be a mountain range.

"There's Vos," continued Sentinel, "in the mountain range there."

Bailey could see a small speck of light at the south pole.

"You can barely see the lights of Kaon at the south pole," added Sentinel, "and there, right where we're headed."

Sentinel nodded to the larger point of light that seemed to rest on the very tip of the Nemesis's bow as they descended towards it.

"Though I guess for you," mentioned Sentinel, "it doesn't matter what it looks like, since no human has ever been to another planet. Tell you what, I'll make sure you have the honor of being the first human to set foot on another world."

"Maybe I can tell NASA about it when I get back," commented Bailey.

"If you do," advised Sentinel, "be sure and get a picture. Their faces would be priceless."

"I'll be sure to do that," nodded Bailey.

Just then, Optimus entered the room.

"Yes, Optimus?" Sentinel said softly.

"We'll be landing shortly," reported Optimus, "so we should get ready to disembark."

"Come on, Bailey," beckoned Sentinel, "let's get you to the front of the line. You won't need your jacket; it's quite warm out."

Bailey took off her jacket and grabbed her handbag before letting Sentinel scoop her up as he followed Optimus down the corridor and towards the bridge, where the Autobots and Decepticons were waiting. There was a lurch as the ship touched down and the engines shut off.

"Touchdown, Cybertron!" announced Tripwire.

Bailey cracked a smile, even when she attempted to keep herself from laughing.

"You're not funny, Trip!" spat another Vehicon.

"Neither are you, Steve!" countered Tripwire.

The Vehicons burst into laughter.

"Oh, great," grumbled Sentinel, "another set of Terror Twins."

"At least they don't annoy us as much as Sideswipe and Sunstreaker do," replied Megatron.

"You lucky slaggers," smirked Sentinel, "now let's get those doors open and ramps down."

Tripwire typed down a few keys, which caused the ramps to be lowered and the doors slid open. Sentinel, Optimus and Megatron led the Autobots and Decepticons down the ramp while Bailey and Akane accompanied them. Sentinel set down Bailey on the end of the ramp, the dusty metallic ground before her as Akane held a video camera to record a historic moment.

"Go ahead, Bailey," persuaded Sentinel.

Nodding in agreement, Bailey stepped onto the metallic ground before sprinting a few feet ahead. She then turned around to face Sentinel and the others. The elder Prime nodded with a smile.

"This woman is Bailey Hanson," announced Sentinel, "the first human being ever to set foot on another planet. Beat that, Neil Armstrong."

"And be sure to stay tuned for when I start my own gaming company," added Bailey, "this is TigerFang77 signing off."

"See? Women," replied Sentinel.

"Roll in your grave, Saburou," muttered Akane.

Akane turned off the video recorder as the Autobots and Decepticons began setting foot on the surface.

"At long last, we're home!" cheered Sentinel.

Sentinel flopped down on his back in a patch of what looked like metal grass. Bailey stepped towards Sentinel and climbed onto his chest.

"I'm not sure how I should use the AllSpark to help restore this planet," said Bailey.

"It's very similar to how you brought Optimus and me back to life," answered Sentinel, "it has to be driven to the planet's core. The most direct way straight down the Well of All Sparks, which is here in Iacon."

"So how do we get there?" asked Bailey.

"The fastest way would be to fly," suggested Sentinel.

"Then should we get going?" insisted Bailey.

"Yes," nodded Sentinel, "I suppose we should."

"The sun's going down," mentioned Megatron, "good. If the ancient legends about the Well are true, it's most spectacular in the dark of night."

Bailey slid off Sentinel's chest, allowing him to get back to his feet.

"All right," announced Sentinel, "we're heading to the Well!"

Sentinel led Optimus, Megatron, Bailey and Akane further from the ship.

"It's a huge deep hole that goes straight down," explained Sentinel, "don't worry, there's railings around it."

"Does it have ramps?" asked Bailey.

"No," answered Sentinel, "and anyway, a ramp won't give you enough speed. Someone's gonna have to fly you in."

"Ok," nodded Bailey.

"I'll do it," announced Megatron, "it's about time I did something good for the planet."

"I accept your offer," agreed Akane.

"Me, too," added Bailey.

It wasn't long before Sentinel, Optimus, Megatron, Bailey and Akane reached the edge of the Well of All Sparks.

"Sentinel and I will await your safe return," said Optimus, "from here, this is your moment, t'alnyon."

Nodding in agreement, Megatron transformed into his alternate mode while Sentinel and Optimus lowered Bailey and Akane to the ground. The humans hopped into the Decepticon leader's alternate mode.

"Hold on for now," advised Megatron, "I'll tell you when to get ready with the AllSpark."

Megatron took off and flew down the Well until he reached the planet's core. He transformed and landed on a platform while carrying Bailey and Akane in his hands. He safely lowered them to the ground.

"Whoa," exclaimed Bailey, "that thing is huge!"

"It seems that we were destined to carry out this task to begin with," commented Akane.

"Well," replied Megatron, "it is the core of the planet. It's all you two, but I don't suggest dawdling once you drop off the AllSpark. That thing is probably going to get far too hot for humans to be near."

Bailey and Akane approached the core as their bracers began glowing. Once they were close enough, they held out their arms, allowing the bracers to disintegrate and merge with the core. Megatron was already transformed, so they would waste no time getting out. His engines were already powered up and ready to fire off. They could feel the rapidly rising heat from the core, so they sprinted towards the Decepticon leader and hopped inside.

"Hold on tight!" instructed Megatron.

At once, Megatron fired the engines off, and the two humans were pressed back by the G-Forces as they rocketed back up the long shaft, streaking high into the sky before he circled around, landing beside Optimus and Sentinel, letting the humans out and transforming.

"Here it comes!" announced Megatron.

All at once, thousands, if not millions of sparks erupted from the Well like a giant geyser, speeding out over the planet, some streaking high into the starry sky before they shot off in all directions. The Well continued spewing them out like a fountain of light.

"Wow," gasped Bailey, "amazing!"

"Ma Cybertron," whispered Sentinel,"afthalia te serenesia."

"I guess we will have to develop more environmentally-friendly technology on our own," commented Akane.

"The AllSpark would not help with that, remember?" reminded Sentinel.

"Maybe not," muttered Akane.

"Should we head back?" asked Bailey.

"Bailey," answered Sentinel, "I think we've found our spot, if we have it at night."

"But we don't have camping supplies," objected Bailey.

"I think he means his wedding thing you and your friends were discussing," clarified Optimus.

"Oh, ok!" chirped Bailey.

"The others can take care of the unloading," replied Sentinel, "come with me, my sons. There's a place I wish to go to."

Sentinel, Optimus and Megatron transformed into their alternate modes, allowing Bailey and Akane to hop into the Rosenbauer Panther and buckle up.

"Follow me," instructed Sentinel.

Sentinel led Optimus and Megatron across the vast plains for a long while until Bailey could see a very familiar burned city.

"Is that Kestix?" warbled Bailey.

"Yes," nodded Sentinel.

Sentinel pulled off the road beside a burned out building's ruins. This was also familiar to Bailey. But just beyond the building was a small, at least to the Cybertronians, metal slab with ancient Language of the Primes writing on it. Sentinel let the humans out, then transformed, walking up to kneel in front of the marker.

"I did it, love," whispered Sentinel, "I saved them both. You would be so proud of them."

"Is this," asked Bailey, "where Alnai was buried?"

"Yes," answered Sentinel.

Sentinel gently reached out and placed a hand on the marker.

"She was your mother," continued Sentinel, "both of you. Megatron, you may remember when I hid you behind the wall while Ratchet transferred Optimus from her to me. You may remember her holding you in her arms, even when she died in mine."

"I do remember it," agreed Megatron.

"You weren't even born yet, Optimus," continued Sentinel, "when she was taken."

Soft tears began to fall from Sentinel's optics as he rested his head against the marker.

"Oh, Sentinel," whispered Bailey.

Both the younger leaders noticed what was occurring as the older mech grieved by himself. Optimus and Megatron knelt down side by side next to Sentinel. He didn't seem to notice as his body shook with sobs. The Autobot leader gently placed his hand on his father's back. Sentinel's hand reached up to grasp Optimus's hand and hold it. The young Prime glanced sideways at his brother. Megatron gently grasped the elder Prime's other hand. Sentinel held both of their hands, crying their mother's name, and how he wished she were there with them. Bailey gently placed her hand on the elder Prime's leg.

"You still miss her," said Bailey, "don't you?"

"I always will," cried Sentinel, sniffing, "but at least I still have the two most wonderful gifts she ever gave me beside her love; our sons. She'd be so proud of you two. I wish she could see you now."

"I would've loved to meet her in person," smiled Optimus.

"She would've loved to be here for you, too," agreed Sentinel.

Soon, Sentinel wiped his tears and embraced his children for a moment each.

"At least she can be at peace now," continued Sentinel, "knowing all is as it should be."

Sentinel stood to his feet.

"Bailey," asked Akane, "would you like to have some tea with me when we get back?"

"Uh, sure!" nodded Bailey.

"Let us go," Sentinel said softly, "there is much to do."

Sentinel, Optimus and Megatron transformed into their alternate modes, allowing Bailey and Akane to hop into the Rosenbauer Panther and buckle up. They drove back in silence with Megatron slowly hovering above the two trucks. It was only a long while before they arrived at the Nemesis, where Ratchet, Ironhide, Soundwave, Shockwave and Bumblebee were waiting near the bottom of the ramp. The three mechs transformed after letting the humans out.

"So you restored the AllSpark to Cybertron?" asked Ratchet.

"Yes," nodded Megatron, "it is done."

"Finally," chirped Bumblebee, "we can start rebuilding our home!"

"Yes, we can," nodded Optimus, "in the morning. I'm sure we're all tired from the journey home."

"In that case," replied Bailey, "let's get some rest after dinner."

"Yes," agreed Sentinel.

Just then, Shank emerged from the Nemesis.

"Energon, anyone?" called Shank.

"Of course," nodded Optimus.

"I'd like some, too," added Megatron.

"Order up, boys!" declared Shank.

The Vehicons began bringing out energon cubes and handed them out. Akane led Bailey inside while the Autobots and Decepticons had their share of energon, where the human women teamed up to make tea and their dinner. Outside, they could hear raucous laughter. It sounded more like a tavern than an alien planet nearly destroyed by war. Listening to it, it was difficult to believe these people used to be enemies.

"At least they're enjoying themselves," commented Bailey.

"They're people who are finally at peace with each other," agreed Akane, "people who no longer have to fear death every second of their lives; people who are no longer at war."

Once they finished their dinner, Akane returned to her quarters while Bailey sprinted outside. To her surprise, there were bonfires lit, music which sounded like a Celtic/New Age mix, with just a tiny pinch of rock, singing and dancing; in other words, a celebration. Bailey quietly approached Sentinel, which caught his attention.

"You done already?" said Sentinel.

"Yeah," nodded Bailey, "there's something I want to talk to you about in private."

"Excuse me a moment," Sentinel announced to the other Autobots and Decepticons, "it's important."

Bailey led Sentinel into the Nemesis and into the elder Prime's quarters.

"What did you wish to tell me?" asked Sentinel.

"I'm ready to make a spark merge with you," answered Bailey.

"Oh," insisted Sentinel, "are you sure? A spark bond can't be undone, except by death. And in some cases, not even then."

"I'm sure," nodded Bailey.

"All right, then," acknowledged Sentinel.

Sentinel sat down and lifted Bailey with him.

"There's no need to remove clothing for a spark bond," continued Sentinel, "it's done with the heart, the soul. I can't use a holoform either, but I'm sure it's my true spark you want to bond with anyway, am I right?"

"Yeah," agreed Bailey.

"Then let us do so," replied Sentinel.

Sentinel's chest plates creaked and groaned as they slid open to reveal the fiery bluish red spark. This was Bailey's first time seeing it alive and functioning, burning within him like a flame of passion.

"Not to worry," assured Sentinel, "it only looks hot. It won't hurt you to touch."

Bailey leaned closer to Sentinel's chest, ensuring that her chest aligns with the elder Prime's spark chamber. She also plunged her hand into his spark chamber, gently grasping the spark. Sentinel's body shuddered at the soft touch, a gasp escaping his lip plates, as thin tendrils brushed her hand, reaching towards her. She could feel a slight pull in her own chest as well.

"Sentinel," moaned Bailey.

"When you are ready," advised Sentinel, "let it in."

Even as Sentinel spoke, the tendrils from his spark reached her chest, passing into her, and she felt a comforting warmth where they did, as they pulled the rest of his spark towards her. He threw back his head in a silent cry of pleasure as his spark was suddenly pulled in, and the two souls became one with each other, able to see each other's thoughts and memories, to take away feelings of pain and replace them with other feelings; able to know all that the other is and ever was. No longer were they two separate strangers, and never again would they truly be apart. The warmth flooded through her as the bond formed around her heart and his spark, sealing them together; forever. Smiling, Bailey rested her head on the elder Prime's chest. He placed a protective hand over her, and she got her first taste of what a spark bond was like as he sent waves of his love through the bond to her. He didn't even need to say it. She already knew his feelings. Once they completed the spark merge, the tendrils returned to Sentinel's spark chamber as Bailey withdrew her hand.

"We are now mated, ma sanarya," announced Sentinel.

"I love you, too, Sentinel," smiled Bailey.

Bailey pressed her lips against Sentinel's.

"Should we head back outside?" asked Bailey.

"Of course," nodded Sentinel.

Sentinel carried Bailey out of his quarters and headed outside the Nemesis to rejoin the other celebrating Autobots and Decepticons.


Ma Cybertron. Afthalia te serenesia - Cybertron. At last, you are saved.
