Autobot Base
Arcee was in her room, trying to forget about what had happened. She didn't want to see anyone at the moment, especially Backfire. She knew that the others would try to change her mind, but she knew what he was like during their early years. She had to do the right thing and protect her sibling, but she had to pay for the consequences. She heard her door open and she looked from her berth to see who it was, it was Optimus.
"So what, you guys know my code now?" Arcee said. "What do you want?"
"Arcee, what you did earlier divided the team, and that is unacceptable." Optimus said.
"Optimus, with all due respect I don't have time for this, I just need to be alone for right now." Arcee said.
"I know that you're hurting, but keeping it in just makes it worse for everyone else." Optimus said. "It will form cracks that cannot be fixed."
"Fine, you want to know what i'm going through, when you were in Iacon being a librarian I had to do things to make sure that Backfire was okay! I had to kill other Cybertronians for credits so I could even get enough energon, and let me tell you that I didn't enjoy it! He could only do simple tasks, I had to do all the work! So please lecture me on how I had to survive on the streets of Kaon while you were in the gold pillars of Iacon, I dare you!" Arcee said fighting back the tears of her human form.
"I may not know what you have gone through, but I know what it takes to survive for someone you love." Optimus said.
"Says the Prime who doesn't show emotion, I don't even think that you the concept of love." Arcee said. "I had to kill friends, ones I loved to keep functioning."
"I may not show emotion like the others or the human children, but before I became a Prime I had a sparkmate." Optimus said. "Her name was Elita One."
"Oh really, the great librarian had a sparkmate, and what was she like, was she as troubled as Backfire?" Arcee said. "I bet she died knowing that you would just move on without her."
This didn't sit well for Optimus at all. He loved Elita, Orion Pax would have done anything for her and she would do anything for him. She was the brightest, most caring, and nicest femme anyone could meet. If she was on Earth then she would probably stop fighting and live among the humans. "She was the greatest thing to happen to me, not even becoming a Prime came close to what she was capable of." Optimus said.
"So, you and her probably sat in your chrome balconies and had the best energon on the planet." Arcee said.
"No, we were not like that, we did our best to help the inequality from getting out of control, we wanted to do our best." Optimus said.
"Just get out Optimus, i'm not having this discussion." Arcee said.
"I want you to know that your actions did far more damage than what Backfire has done, and it cost the team to fragment." Optimus said.
"Well at the rate that we've been getting other Autobots, then we'll be just fine." Arcee said.
"ENOUGH!" Optimus boomed. "I will not take this attitude of yours any more, you will do what is necessary and get back Backfire."
"Well, you wouldn't hurt a human, and you sure wouldn't hurt your comrades." Arcee said.
"I may not be able to do so, but I will do what I must to repair what has been broken." Optimus said. He picked up Arcee and carried her to the command room. She tried to get out of his grasp, but with her human body it was impossible. When they got into the command room, Optimus placed her where the other former Cybertronians were sitting.
"Optimus what was that for!?" Arcee asked.
"You must reconnect with the others until you can reconnect with your sibling." Optimus said.
"Okay, guys i'm sorry for what I did earlier, there is that good?" Arcee said. Optimus just gave her a stern look, wanting it to be a fair apology. "Fine."
"So, about what you did." Smokescreen said.
"Yeah, let's just say that we're not as happy with you as you are with Backfire." Bumblebee said.
"Okay, I admit that I was in the wrong to do what I did." Arcee said.
"And?" Bulkhead said.
"And I shouldn't have attacked him." Arcee said.
"And?" Raf said.
"And I should have stayed calm and make sure that everyone was okay." Arcee said.
"And?" Everyone said.
"And I should go and find Backfire and apologies to him." Arcee said.
"There, was that hard?" Jack said.
"I-I guess not, but I don't know where to start or how to get to Jasper." Arcee said.
"I can take you." Sierra said.
"What?" Arcee said.
"You can't be serious, you don't even have a vehicle mode, not to mention you don't know how to use your T-cog." Ratchet said.
"Well while you were working, I connected to the internet and downloaded a car that would suit me best." Sierra said. "I also fiddled around with what makes me Cybertronian and found out how to scan the car's dimensions, so i'm good."
Ratchet was shocked by what Sierra just said. He thought that she wouldn't be able to use a light switch, much less an alternate mode. "H-how in the name of Primus have you done that?" Ratchet said.
"Out human allies are more than meets the eye." Optimus said.
"Well I highly doubt she even knows how to tra-" Ratchet was cut off by Sierra turning into a 2019 Honda Civic Type R. He saw what she turned into and he looked like he couldn't handle it. "Oh Primus." Ratchet said falling to the floor unconscious.
"Deja vu." Miko said waking up from her nap and jumping up. "How did you do that!?"
"I'll tell you later, I need to take Arcee and try and find Backfire." Sierra said.
"Oh, well you better tell me." Miko said folding her arms.
"Okay Arcee, get in." Sierra said opening the driver side door.
"This is going to be weird." Arcee said getting in. Sierra drove out of the exit and out to go to Jasper, to go and find Backfire.
"Uh Optimus, there's something going on in Egypt." Raf said pulling up his computer.
"What is it Raphael?" Optimus asked.
"There is a Iacon beacon, in one of the three pyramids." Raf said.
"Very well, open the ground bridge and I will head there." Optimus said putting the Star Saber on his back. Raf opened the bridge and Optimus walked in, to see what the relic was.
"Well, it's just you and me Mi-" Jack looked around to see where Miko had gone. "Miko?"
"Oh no." Bulkhead said.
"Dang it Miko, why do you always do this!?" Jack said running into the portal.
Egypt
Optimus had walked out of the ground bridge and was ready to find the relic. He activated his tracker and walked to where it was pointing. He walked a few feet before he heard rustling behind him. He turned around and saw Jack tackling Miko to the ground and trying to not make her escape.
"You always do this, can you for once not be so stupid!?" Jack said.
"You can't tell me what to do, I wanted to be here!" Miko yelled.
"Optimus, call a bridge so I can take her back." Jack asked.
"First, both of you get up and stop fighting." Optimus ordered.
Jack got off of Miko and stood up. Miko got up as well and gave Jack a glare that she wasn't happy at him. "Can you please call a bridge." jack said.
"No." Optimus said.
"WHAT!?" Both of the teens said. Jack was shocked that Optimus of all people would say such a thing. Miko was shocked that Optimus actually allowed her to stay and not get in trouble.
"Since the team is learning about what it is like to be human, you two will learn what it is like to be Cybertronian." Optimus said.
"So, i'm not in trouble?" Miko asked.
"You are, but for right now you two will follow my command as Autobots." Optimus said.
"Cool, I finally get to live my dream!" Miko said.
"Your dream, all of this happened because you are delusional to everything around you." Jack said.
"Well, if you and Sierra didn't get hurt then this wouldn't have happened." Miko said.
"Enough." Optimus said. "You two can talk later, but right now you will follow my orders, do you understand?"
"Yes sir." Both of them said.
"Good, now follow me." optimus said turning to head for the relic. The two followed Optimus for a while walking past the Sphinx and some of the pyramids. After walking for a while Optimus stopped dead in his tracks, the kids walking into him as he stopped.
"Optimus wha-" Jack said before cutting himself off. What he saw was nothing like he or Miko could imagine. Megatron was standing there with the relic in the sand, waiting for them. "Scrap."
"Greeting Optimus, and I see that you have more recruits." Megatron said with a devilish smile. "I wonder what they will think after out battle."
"Megatron, what have you done!?" Optimus said looking at his arm.
"This, I find it affords me certain advantages, such as the use of the Forge of Solus Prime." Megatron said. "Let's see if your new pets will be able to fight alongside you."
"This is a fight between me and you Megatron, not the's Autobots." Optimus said.
"Very well." Megatron said pulling a sword from his back. "My first creation, fashioned by the blood of Unicron. I call it the Dark Star Saber, Slayer of Primes if you will." Megatron charged at Optimus and was ready to kill.
Optimus did the same and charged, unsheathing his sword from his back. The two clashed blades and a shock wave hit the area around them knocking away stone's, Jack, and Miko. The two titans clashed and locked blades, causing the air around them to act like a hurricane.
"At last we take our rightful places Optimus, as gods, wielding the power of the cosmos." Megatron said. He knocked back the Star Saber and slammed Optimus into a stone wall with his hand.
"I am but a soldier Megatron, and you are a prisoner of your own twisted delusions." Oprimus said knocking Megatron to the ground.
"We got to help him." Miko said.
"We can't, Megatron is to powerful." Jack said. "We can't do anything."
The two clashed once again causing the ground to shake around them. Megatron swung and hit Optimus in the shoulder, causing him to kneel down. " If you are tired Optimus, then I guess your other Autobots will be willing to fight for you." Megatron said.
"Never Megatron, I will not falter on this day, for I will stop you once and for all." Optimus said.
"Then I will show then what it means to oppose me." Megatron said. He swung down to hit Optimus, trying to cut off his head. Optimus tried to block, but when the blade came down, the Star Saber shattered into pieces. Optimus looked shocked, as well as Jack and Miko. The shards hit the ground and turned to dust, making Optimus vulnerable to his attacks.
"It looks like you have been mistaken, and now you will die, with your head right next to my relic." Megatron said about to swing down. Before he did however, he was hit by a volley of bullets from Jack and Miko.
Miko used her thrusters to get high into the air and shoot Megatron from the sky. Jack shot at Megatron trying to get him away from Optimus. Megatron slashed at Miko with his sword, causing a dark wave to fly straight towards her. Miko was able to get out of the way of the strike and kept shooting at Megatron. Jack was able to get Optimus to his feet and get him away from Megatron.
"Raphael, ground bridge." Optimus said. The ground bridge came up, Optimus and Jack were about to run into it until they realized that Miko wasn't with them. "Miko!"
Miko was still in the air shooting at Megatron, pelting him with several bolts of Energon. She dove down to get an opening, but was instead caught in a vice grip by Megatron. "How brave of you to come up to me alone." Megatron said.
"Well, there is one thing about me you should know, i'm deceptive." Miko said. She raised her arm to reveal a canister of something. She sprayed it into Megatron's face plate and optics. Megatron roared in pain, throwing Miko towards Jack and Optimus. Jack grabbed her and pulled her through the portal, it closing behind them.
Autobot Base
"That was close." Jack said.
"No kidding, I thought I was going to miss." Miko said.
"Miko, what you did was not acceptable, facing Megatron was not what you should have done." Optimus said.
"Yeah, but it was worth it." Miko said.
"How, you could have died?" Jack asked.
"Well, I got whatever this thing is." Miko said showing Jack and Optimus.
"How did you-" Jack said before being cut off.
"When I came in for the attack, I noticed that the relic was right next to Megatron's foot, so I did what I could and got it." Miko said.
"Still, you could have died." Jack said.
"You humans really are more than meets the eye." Optimus said.
