Uzumaki Suiren: The disclaimer: I don't own Transformers cause if I did then Bumblebee would be able speak by the Third movie and Hotshot, Red Alert, and Leobreaker would have been added into the movies and the new animations artwork wouldn't suck. I do, however own, Bladestrike, and the twins Gesshoku and Nisshoku Mutou aka Lunareclipse and Solareclipse of the Most Noble House of Mutou from Tokyo, Japan. Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think, but it you don't the twist that I make then stop reading and find something else. Also don't leave a review that's flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne.
...My Line...
Gesshoku and Nisshoku Mutou aka Lunareclipse and Solareclipse now live in a bunker with Team Prime that the government had given the team in Jasper, Nevada with Optimus Prime, who is now Bladestrike's mechfriend. The team are now going around trying to collect Cybertronian artifacts before the Decepticons, but when Optimus gets a message from his old mentor Alpha Trion, they turned their sights on collecting the Four Cyber Keys in hopes of restoring Cybertron. But, can they do it before the 'Cons?

...My Line...
"Optimus, what is Alpha Trion saying?" Ratchet asked, however, his question was meet with silence as the Prime stared at the Star Sabre with a blank look, but it wasn't long till the Autobot Leader collapsed to his knee to which Ratchet and Bladestrike moved over to him along with the others. "Easy Optimus."
"Prime, sir?" Solareclipse asked worried.
"Sensei (Teacher and/or Doctor)?"
The Prime stood up and looked at the sword in his servos.
"So did Alpha Trion asked about me?" Smokescreen asked.
He got a deadpan look from the twins while Bulkhead pushed him out of the way.
"What was the message?" the former wrecker asked.
"It is paramount that we recover the final four Iacon relics," the Prime said. "The Omega Keys."
"Keys?" Arcee asked.
"To what?"
"To the regeneration of our home planet," the Prime said.
The twins gawk at him in shock while the others, however, were thrilled at that.
"Pack your gear," Bulkhead said. "We're going back to Cybertron!"
{I don't believe} Bumblebee buzzed as he picked up Solareclipse and spun her around happily.
This made her laugh at his excitement.
"Well, believe it now, Bumblebee," laughed Ratchet as the said mech placed the black and pink femme down. He cackled again with a grin. "Civilization at last."
"But, I just got here," Smokescreen commented.
"Remember oil baths?" Arcee asked dreamily. "The first thing I'm going to do planetside is soak for an entire solar cycle."
"I can't wait to see Chromia again," Ironhide cackled happily at that.
This made the twins smile at him as they knew that he misses his Sparkmate more then anything.
"And of course, the twins can finally learn more about the planet that their Oppiluk is from first hand," Bladestrike added.
"I can't wait to tell Miko," laughed Bulkhead.
However, that was when the fact that they'll be leaving their human friends settled in.
"And...Jack..."
"Weh cin't leave Danniluk," Solareclipse said sadly. "It jus' isn't right."
"Not only dat tha House o' Mutou would be wit'out a family head," Lunareclipse added.
The Sisters did want to learn about Cybertron first hand, but they were also the two that would lead the House of Mutou into the future when their Danniluk pass away. The two Mutous looked at each other before nodding their helms as they both had the same thought going through their minds. They will look at their family that remained in Japan and find two Sisters that could meet their exceptions and then lead the family how the twins were suppose, too.
"Uh, Optimus," Smokescreen spoke up as he walked towards the Prime and his mate. "Keys open doors." Everyone all looked over at them. "Can they really revive an entire planet?"
"While I am unfamiliar with the lore of these Omega Keys," Optimus said as he turned to face them. "Alpha Trion knew many secrets, and the ancients possessed technology that has long been lost to what we consider modern science." They all gathered around. "Whatever their function. This much is certain; we cannot restore Cybertron without all four Omega Keys in our possession."
"Which means that we can't afford to lose a single one to Megatron," the blue femme stated.
"Four sets of coordinates from Alpha Trion remain encrypted," the red and blue leader informed them as he turned back to the computer. "It is logical to conclude that each corresponds to the location of one of the Omega Keys. I must not waver until I decode them all. The future of our home world depends on it."
The Prime went about decoding the last four coordinates while the twins went to the other side of the room to get hold of their Danniluk and fill her in. Before they asked her to send them the profiles of the entire Mutou Family that the Head kept of all members encase they had no heirs. Bladestrike and Ironhide stood with them as they went about this while Ratchet started on a project as the others all stood together. It wasn't long till the Mutou Sisters and their Guardians joined the others as they stood in a circle. However, they along with Optimus looked over at Ratchet when they heard the sound of welding with a questioning look.
"You shall require a more practical means of carrying such a blade," Ratchet informed the Autobot Leader.
Optimus turned back to the decoding of the Iacon database while the rest of the team turned back to each other.
"I feel funny saying this," Arcee told them. "But, I'm not sure I want to go back."
"Who knew we'd ever get so used to our new home," Bulkhead added.
{I don't want to leave Raf} Bumblebee buzzed.
"Yeah," Bulkhead agreed. "I don't think I'd ever want to leave Miko."
"We made friends here," Arcee agreed. "Family."
"We can always text them," Ratchet scoffed.
"Besides," Bulkhead went on as if Ratchet didn't say anything. "I've been fighting for so long I don't know if I could do anything else."
"You can go back into construction," Ratchet stated. "The power of the ancients may be able to breath life back into Cybertron's core, but our war ravaged cities will surely require rebuilding."
"I wouldn't make any travel plans just yet," Arcee said. "We still have to locate these Omega Keys and secure them before the 'Cons do."
"Yeah, like that'll be a problem," Smokescreen laughed as he then pointed at the sword. "Optimus has the Star Sabre now. Megatron's end is in sight."
"Autobots," Optimus said as he turned to them when the computer beeped. "I have decoded the first set of coordinates. Divide into teams in the event that I'm able to decoded another before the first team returns."
"I'm on team one," Smokescreen said. "Who's with me?"
"I'll go," Arcee and Lunareclipse said at the same time.
The two of them looked at each other before smirking.
"Same here," Jazz added as he joined them. "Jus' so I cin keep an eye on Smoky."
"After you, sirs," Smokescreen offered while gesturing them towards the ground bridge. "Ma'ams, sir?" Solareclipse was trying not to laugh. "Commanders?"
"This should be interesting," Ratchet stated as he opened the ground bridge for them.
This time Solareclipse did laugh as the four Autobots all transformed into their alt-modes before driving through the bridge.
...My Line...
The four of them drove through the bridge before transforming into their bipedal modes with their weapons drawn. After looking around for a few minutes, they deactivated their weapons and Arcee pulled out a scanner.
"First ones here," Smokescreen stated.
"No locator beacon," Arcee added as she looked at the scanner. "Which means that the relic is still buried. Right about..." She then turned to face the right. "There."
"We'll need ta be car'ahful," Lunareclipse informed them.
"Why?" Jazz asked.
"Because Curse Break'ahs which are a group o' Wizards an' Witches dat handle takin' down tha curses of tombs fer tha Goblins, who run tha Wizardin' Bank Gringotts, are known ta be workin' in Egypt," she answered. "Not only dat, but most wizards an' witches don't like none humans." She looked at them. "Especially dose from England."
The group of four walked towards an entrance of a tomb that was partly buried in sand, but could still be seen for about a mile. As they walked through the ruins it was silent for a little while before Smokescreen decided to break it.
"Uh, Arcee," he spoke up. "I owe you an apology. I never intended to put Jack in danger." Lunareclipse glanced at him from the corner of her optics. "Humans squish easily. I get that now."
"This isn't just about Jack," Arcee told him. "Team Prime can't afford any casualties. Human or bot. I've already lost two season partners. I don't want to add a rookie to my score card."
"Not gonna happen," the tri-colored mech informed her. "Elite Guardsmen honor." He then blinked before following the three. "Wait, you lost two partners?"
It wasn't long till the four bots started to walk through a series of tunnels of the tomb with Arcee leading the way for them.
"Huh, kinda of nice of the humans to pile all of these rocks on top of our relic," stated Smokescreen.
"Doesn't look like tha Curse Break'ahs 'ave bin here," Lunareclipse stated.
"Dat means dat tha relic is still here den," Jazz said with relief.
The group turned left into another tunnel till they reached the end where there were a series of hieroglyphs were with a picture of key of key.
"Pretty much spells things out doesn't it?" Smokescreen asked jokely.
"Come on," Arcee said as she placed the scanner on her hip. "Help me move this."
Smokescreen moved over and helped Arcee move the brick out of the way. Once it was out, the black and lavender femme crouched down and looked inside to see a key before she reached in and pulled it out.
"Let's go," she told them as she stood up.
"Right," the other three agreed with nods.
The four Autobot all started to walked back the way they came.
"The ancient humans must have thought that the Omega Key was a gift from the gods," Smokescreen said.
"And in a sense, they weren't wrong," Arcee agreed with him.
However, when the reached the end of the tunnel, the four of them noticed that some was waiting for them outside only it wasn't an Autobot and wasn't a normal Decepticon, but Megatron himself.
"Scrap," Lunareclipse cursed.
"The relic," Megatron growled. "Now!"
"Four against one," Smokescreen said. "We can take him."
However, they all noticed him pull out a dark purple sword with a pointy edge around it and it was glowing.
"Oh, weh are so fragged," Jazz groaned.
"RATCHET GROUND BRIDGE!" Arcee yelled in worry over the comms. "NOW!"
But, it was to late as the Warlord swung his sword around and a purple colored arc shot towards the Autobots just like Star Sabre. When the arc hit them it knocked all four 'bots over the tomb, but the black and lavender femme noticed that Smokescreen lost his grip on the key and only caring about keeping Megatron from getting it, she pulled her wand.
"ACCIO RELIC!" she yelled as she pointed her wand at it.
The key then zoomed right into her left servo just before she hit the ground next to Jazz while Arcee landed a bit behind them with Smokescreen behind her. The hybrid looked up at the Head 'Co as he stepped a few feet in front of her and the Saboteur before the rookie opened fire on him only for Megatron to send the shot away from himself with the sword before Arcee, Jazz, and Lunareclipse. But, all of their shots were blacked by Megatron and his new sword before he sent another arc flying only this time it was at Smokescreen alone.
"SMOKY!" Jazz yelled in horror.
"SMOKESCREEN!" Arcee and Lunareclipse yelled as the arc sent the rookie flying into a pyramid.
The three of them could only watch as when the smoke cleared all that they could see were brick tiles. They looked away from the scene as Megatron walked up to them and grabbed hold of the black and lavender femme's wrist.
"What matter of treasure did Iacon send us this time?" he asked as the young hybrid glared at him while he turned to face the other two Autobots and placed the tip of his sword to Arcee's chin to make her look up at him. "I would slice you two in two right now." Just then a ground bridge opened up next to them. "But, I need you both to deliver a message." He tightened his hold of Lunareclipse. "Tell Optimus Prime if he wants to ever see the relic..." He pulled the younger femme closer. "And his student again then he must come and claim for himself."
The older Autobots looked at the young hybrid before nodding and running thought the ground bridge.
...My Line...
"And then Smokescreen was just gone," Arcee was explaining to them. "Like he was turned to dust."
Off to the side away from the group Jazz and Bladestrike were being held by Prowl as the two cried for the lost of a member of their family unit.
"Poor kid," vented Bulkhead.
"An' I don't like is dat Megatron has mah Sist'ah," Solareclipse growled.
"Arcee, don't blame yourself," Ratchet told her softly. "It could as easily been you."
The two Autobots turned when the sound of transforming and weapons powering up.
"Well, I say we go claim a piece of Megatron's miserable metal hide!" Bulkhead said.
{Agreed} Bumblebee buzzed.
"Let's go git dat relic an' mah Sist'ah," Solareclipse added as they moved for the ground bridge.
"No," Optimus told them making them stop. "We have already lost one of our own today." He turned to them. "I will not risk anymore lives." The Prime walked over to the blue femme. "Give what Arcee and Jazz have witness, it would stand to reason that Megatron now posses might equal to the Star Sabre. Which means that only I have the means of retrieving the Omega Key and bring Lunareclipse back safely."
"The fate of Cybertron and that of Lunareclipse rest in your servos, Optimus," Ratchet told him.
"Whether Megatron knows it or not," Bulkhead added.
"Optimus..." Solareclipse started as she walked towards him.
"Not this time, Solareclipse," the red and blue mech interrupted the black and pink femme.
She vented a sigh while nodding before the Prime walked through the ground bridge.
...My Line...
Lunareclipse vented a sigh as she seat on a rock not to far from the Pyramids of Giza holding the Omega Key while a pair of stasis cuff around her wrists. She could feel her Sister's panic over their sibling bond, but thanks to the cuffs, she could do anything to calm her twin down as Megatron made sure to use a pair that kept her from using her bond. However, her helm snapped up and over to her left when the sounds of pedes in time to see her mentor walk over a sand hill with the Star Sabre strapped to his back.
"Optimus!" she called out in glee.
"Come and claim your prizes, Optimus," Megatron taunted as he came into view from the other side. "That is if you can."
The red and blue Autobot Leader took noticed of Megatron's new hand before he looked up into his optics in horror.
"By the Allspark, Megatron," he gasped. "What have you done?"
"This?" Megatron asked as he looked at it. "I find it forms me certain advantages. Such as the use of the Forge of Solus Prime." The Warlord took his sword into his servo. "My first creation, fashioned from the very blood of Unicorn." The black and lavender femme flinched at seeing it. "I call it the Dark Star Sabre." The Decepticon Leader got into a battle stance. "Slayer of Primes if you will."
Megatron then charged at the Prime full speed as the red and blue Autobot Leader, who put on his face mask and drew the Star Sabre, also charged as Lunareclipse quickly moved away from the battle field seeing as she had been sitting right in the middle of it. Both mechs threw arcs of light at each other while Megatron cut them in half, Optimus either jumped over them of cut before the two Leaders locked swords. But, when they did a barrier like energy formed around them making the femme to panic that the Goblins and Curse Breakers would notice the fight and energy that the swords were letting off.
"At last we take our rightful places Optimus," Megatron stated. "As gods! We wield the power of the cosmos!"
The Decepticon Leader then grabbed the Prime by the neck while pushing him against an old stone wall.
"I am, but a soldier, Megatron," the red and blue mech informed. "And you, are a prisoner of your own twisted illusions!"
The Autobot Leader took the Star Sabre and struck Megatron cross the chest with it which sent him flying before he landed on his back. The gray and purple mech got up onto his pedes and sent another arc of light at the Prime, who barreled rolled out of the way though the arc destroyed the wall while also half of a pyramid.
"Scrap," Lunareclipse cursed at that. 'No respect fer ancient cultures.' She shook her head in sadness. 'I swear.'
The black and lavender femme watched as the two fraction leaders charged at each other again while locking swords before the Warlord managed to slash Optimus in the shoulder which formed a cut under the Autobot symbol.
"My Dark Star Sabre has tasted one spark tonight, but it still thirst for that of a Prime!" Megatron yelled before the two clashed again.
However, Megatron wacked the red and blue mech in the face making them to spin before he landed face first onto the ground.
"Sensei!" the femme called out before she noticed two servos being placed on the cuffs making her to look up. "Smokescreen?"
The tri-color mech smirked at her before breaking the cuffs and made sure that she was alright. He then looked at the Omega Key that she was still holding.
"We need to help, Optimus," he told her as he looked back at her.
"Right," the femme agreed.
"And so it ends," they heard Megatron say. "Just how I envisioned it! With your helm next to my new Trophies and your student as my mate!"
Lunareclipse shuddered as she turned to face them while Smokescreen glared at him. They both saw that the Warlord had raised his sword to perform the final blow to Optimus.
"Oh, you mean these?" Smokescreen spoke up making the two to look at him. "Finders keeper."
Optimus felt relief flood his spark at seeing Smokescreen alive and that he managed free Lunareclipse, who had held up the Omega Key with a smirk.
"Dere is a sayin' here on Earth, Buckethead," she said. "An' it's called...YA SNOOZE! YA LOSE!"
The Warlord growled under his breath to which Optimus took advantage by punching Megatron in the face before grabbing a hold of his wrist.
"Sensei!" Lunareclipse called out.
The two Autobots rushed towards him to leaned aid.
"Smokescreen! Lunareclipse! Fall back!"
An arc of light appeared heading right towards them making the two bots to jump out of the way. The two of them watched as the Prime managed to wrestledMegatron to the ground before the Warlord punched him in the face which sent the red and blue mech flying and to the ground. Smokescreen activated something on his wrist before grabbing the femme and rushing back towards just as the gray and purple mech sent another arc of light towards Optimus. However, the two Autobots reached him first which allowed the rookie to touch the Prime as the device that he had activated and the arc of light went right through them.
"Ratchet!" Optimus yelled into the comms. "Ground Bridge now!"
"What?" Megatron asked. "NO!"
"Missed us!" Smokescreen taunted him as the ground bridge opened up.
"Weh need ta go," Lunareclipse told them.
The three Autobots then ran towards the ground while the Warlord tried to stop with another arc of light, but they had already made it through.
...My Line...
It wasn't before they arrived back to the base with Optimus being the first through the ground bridge though he was lead off for medical treatment by Ratchet, but Lunareclipse had been tackled by Solareclipse when she walked through next. However, what shocked the others was seeing Smokescreen walk through and into the base.
"Smokescreen?" Bulkhead asked.
This had Prowl, Jazz, and Bladestrike snapping their helms towards the others.
"And Omega Key number one," they heard Smokescreen's voice.
"But, how?" Arcee asked. "I mean Lunareclipse, Jazz, and I saw you!"
"I, uh, decided to borrow the Phase Shifter," he answered.
"Again?" he asked as he stopped scanning Optimus.
"Yup," the black and lavender femme answered with a cackle.
"And a good thing, too," Smokescreen said. "The wave from the blast hit me like a wreaking ball." He then looked at the Phase Shifter. "The impact must have activated the Phase Shifter. I don't know how long I was unconscious for, but when I made my way outside, Optimus and Megatron were deep in an epic throw down. Lunareclipse was right in the middle of it, too, holding the Omega Key. I waited for the right moment to make my move."
"Your learning," Arcee told him with a smile.
He then looked over to his family unit.
"I'm sorry, if I caused any trouble," he told them.
Bladestrike was the first the react by tackling his younger Brother in a hug.
"We're jus' glad dat yar alive, Smoky," he stated.
Once the carrying mech let go, Jazz and Prowl were next to hug Smokescreen.
"Bladestrike is right, youngling," the older monochrome mech seconded.
Jazz just nodded his helm in agreement before they let go allowing the tri-colored mech to look over at Ratchet and Optimus.
"So can I keep it?" he asked. "I mean it has been really working out for me."
"Fine, fine," vented Ratchet.
"Yes!" the rookie cheered. "Signature weapon!"
The young mech went to walk away before stopping when he noticed the broken Star Sabre.
"You may have got your, but Optimus lost his," Bulkhead stated as he the others joined him.
"The balance of power shifted again," vented the blue femme.
"Dis gittin' old really fast," growled Solareclipse.
"While Optimus has only wielded the power of the ancients for only one day," Ratchet started. "He does not require to be the mightiest of warriors."
They all looked over at the Prime, who was back at the computer, trying to decode the Iacon database with Bladestrike at his side.
