Chapter Twenty Five: In the Wrong World

-Hound's POV-

The mech in my grasp struggled instead of just answering my question. He's got spunk for a young mech. Kind of reminds me of Bee, that was when I felt his pede hit my leg. That's it, I heave him up into the air and slam him into the ground keeping my grip on his neck. Though I shifted it so they were on the back of his neck. I use my knee to pin him down my other servo grabbing his wrists.

"I asked you a simple question, kid." I tell him as he struggled before looking up at me with bright blue optics. "Who are you?"

He was still silence and I can see the gears turning in his processors. It was like he didn't know his own name or he was hiding something. Looking around the area I was in I made sure that no Decepitcon or human would interrupt.

"Alright, since you aren't going to talk to me…" I start pulling him to his feet and moving away. The moment I turn my head I hear pedes moving away as fast as he could. The black and white mech had moved to the other end of the alley. I watch his movement carefully as I shift the frag in my mouth inhaling and exhaling through my vents. He doesn't seem like a Decepticon, he is built like a warrior but doesn't seem to have actually fought in battle.

"You're the silent type I see." I speak up and he glances towards me his back facing the alley entrance.

"Where am I?" the kid asks and I let out a chuckle in reply as he stares at me. Clearing my throat I answer. "You're on Earth, in one of their old cities. You should head out. The TRF, or the human's answer to us, will try to take you out. They aren't really the type to spare us."

"Why would they…" the kid didn't get to finish his question as a familiar bought grabbed him from behind. My weapons were out almost immediately and a blaster was held up to the kid's processor. Four red eyes staring at me as faceplates twisted into a sneer.

"Didn't think I would find an Autobot out here alone." Barricade growled as the kid squirmed only to be held still. "This place belongs to the Decepticons, you should have known."

The black white mech looked at me fear deep in his optics.

-Barricade's POV-

I must say I wasn't planning on getting this lucky, an Autobot and a Cybertronian who doesn't know a thing. The mech in my arms was struggling to get free. Like that was ever going to happen, the Autoscum in front of me was glaring. That was when Lord Megatron voice rang in my processors. "Barricade!"

"Yes, Lord Megatron?" I reply while keeping an eye on Hound digging my blaster into the pathetic bots head.

-Jack's POV-

Just to be clear I'm angry, but I can't do anything with this blaster up to my head. I turn my head to glare at the Decepticon behind me. His eyes narrow before dragging me backwards taunting Hound. "Well it's been fun chatting but Lord Megatron requires me."

I feel him drag me backwards not budging an inch with the blaster. Most likely so Hound wouldn't attack him. The old bot smirked saying. "I didn't come here alone."

I hear music playing as an Autobot slams into the Decepticon. It knocked the hand holding the balster away but he managed to keep his grip around my neck. I fell to the ground as well, the bot who had slammed into the Con. He was a yellow and black mech and I knew that it was Bumblebee.

-Unknown POV-

I was just hanging out in one of the abandoned buildings just enjoying a puddle of sunlight. It was nice, no humans around to separate me from the others. My brother was currently hunting for food while my siblings were playing around up the stairs. That was when the ground shook under me. Curious I climb to my feet and head to the broken door. Peering outside I see one of the large robots that have been hanging around the area. One was keeping a grip on a smaller robot while two pointed their weapons at the larger one. Frowning I see bright blue optics narrowing as the larger black and white robot brought his weapon up placing it against his captive's head.

"You really shouldn't have done that." the red eye bot growled and I bolted up the stairs hearing my siblings call me as I streak passed them. Seeing a window I peer out, alright right above the four eyed bot. Taking a deep breath I start backing away before bolting. I leap through the window feeling myself drop towards the bot hissing as I do so. He looked up just as I twisted my body, claws extended as I land on one of his eyes and begin to attack it. He let out a yowl trying to get me off using the hand that had been holding the blaster. He began to move away yet he didn't release his grip, growling I dig my claws in deeper. I don't know why I am doing this, but the robot, the one that was being held captive. It felt familiar, his head turned to see what was causing the damage and his eyes locked with mine. Running I leap onto the other eye above me clawing it as hard as I could.

"Enough!" roared the larger robot before backing away and running dragging the other with him.

"Oh no you don't!" I hiss clinging to the optic… eye thing as I move to get to a flat surface. The other robots were giving chase not firing their own. I think they knew there was a risk in hitting the captive. However the captive managed to get himself free and punch the bot his fist dangerously close to me. Taking the chance I leap down onto the hand. Running up the hand as the others began to fire on the robot who transformed and driving away. The one I was on curled around me mumbling. "Thanks."

"Don't mention it." I mewl looking up at the bright blue eyes.

"Bumblebee, he's long gone." I hear one of the robots say. "You alright kid?"

-Jack's POV-

"I'll be alright." I reply standing up straight and looking at Hound. Bumblebee walked up next to him asking through the radio. "Well that was fun."

"What do you go there?" asked the old warrior looking at my arm, raising it up I show them my savior. A small orange tabby with black stripes and a white underbelly. The similarities were uncanny, but it couldn't be Mischief. She was on my Earth, her life in the servos of the Autobots. Soon mewls caught my attention as we look down to see kittens surrounding us. One was a black kitten with bright green eyes, he wasn't staring at his sister but the Cybertronians. Reaching down I unfurl my hands as the kittens climb on including a cat. Perhaps the mother, she was giving me a look, one that read that I should be careful with her litter.

"Come on, let's get you somewhere safe." Hound told me transforming. "Got an Alt-Mode yet?"

Shaking my head the robots looked at each other before leading me out. They pointed out vehicles that would suit my frame. One was a semi like Prime, frowning I decided on a muscle truck. Thankfully Miko and the other Autobots gave me the rundown on how to scan and transform. Transforming for the first time was a bit weird and now I have to learn how to drive. The kittens and their mother was sitting in the passenger seat. Some were freaking out but the presence of the golden cat seemed to calm them. Her tail twitched as we took off down the road, they drove up to a junkyard where an adult male with brown hair stared at them. His hands were on his hips as he glared at them asking. "Where on Earth were you guys? Do you know how worried I was?"

"Sorry Cade, I was patrolling the city when this newcomer appeared. Not even a crash." Hound explained transforming into his Bi-ped mode. I open up the passenger side door allowing the litter and their mother out before transforming as well. The male known as Cade stared up at me in suspicion before asking. "You have a name?"

"Jack Darby." I reply much to the surprise of the Autobots around me. "I… normally don't look like this."

"As in a Cybertronian or…" he began before I interrupted. "I am a human teenager from Jasper, Nevada."

"Why didn't you tell me this?" Hound asked his voice sharp and I sigh before looking at him replying. "Would you have believed me if I told you?"

Besides you attacked me first. That was a response that kept internally, I would store that under Responses Miko would Have. Cade was frowning before asking. "If you're from Jasper, why are you here?"

"I don't know, I don't even know if this is where I'm really from." I say looking down at the kittens. "Where I'm from we don't have a TRF and the war of the Autobots and Decepticons isn't well known."

"Well you're stuck here and stuck like that. So we're going to have to get you settled in." Cade replied walking towards him. "And we're going to keep the thing about you being human under wraps. If the Decepticons or the TRF find out they will go after you."

"Understood." I mumbled feeling the cats rub against me, kneeling down I stroke them gently.

"Maybe he should change his name." a green mech spoke up before walking over to me and observing me. "Damn, he's built like a Prime. Got a lot of upgrades that would give you an edge."

"That's a good name, Edge." replied Cade snapping his fingers pointing at the mech who was still watching me. "Jack, we'll call you Edge when we are out of the Junkyard."

"Got it." I find myself replying looking a little surprised at the sudden resolution. In the back of my mind I wonder how long I'm going to be here. The kitten that reminds me of Mischief rubs her cheek against my finger and stared up at me for a long while. She hissed along her siblings as a shadow loomed over me. Looking up I jump as the cats scattered as I came face to face with a T-Rex.

"Grimlock, this is Edge." Cade introduced as I try to control my breathing as the green mech nearby laughs. "Can it Crosshairs. He's just a kid."

Crosshairs laughs before heading over to a Cybertronian that has samurai armor. He was meditating until the mech clamped his hand on his shoulder and was sent flying. This was going to be interesting.

A year, it has been almost a year since I arrived here. Most of the kittens were older now, the black one that I call Shadow Stalker and Mischief 2.0 also known as Troublemaker. They don't seem to age as much, other than those two there were four other kittens and their mother. One was a male calico who I call Typhoon, a female that looks like bobcat that I named Scratch, a pure white female kitten with small dark spots who I named Snow Drift, and last was a golden male kitten who I named Thor. I named their mother Frigga, they generally avoided Crosshairs and the Dinobots. As do I, I'm not really comfortable around the crackshot. Drift is pretty cool and once in a while a junkbot will show up. Cade feels more comfortable when I hang back while he goes and check on the city. He's gone right now leaving Drift in charge, I move towards one of the cards where I have hidden a small journal. Writing does keep me sane and it's where the kittens are at.

Peering inside I see the kittens staring up at me mewling happily. Snow Drift hissed as Grimlock peered into the vehicle. Turning around I tell him to go find another car to chew on. The t-rex moved away looking around with his deep blue eyes. I shake my head as I grab the journal and sat next to the car. Picking up a piece of charcoal I begin to write trying to ignore all of the arguing. The kittens started climbing on me.

"Edge, are you still alive?" the only other human I have talked to here, a young man called Jimmy. I look at him and nod my head and he nods as well before letting out a groan.

"Seriously? Man, Cade is going to kill me." I here Jimmy say and I look over seeing Grimlock carrying a sheriff's car in his mouth. I chuckle just praying Cade is going to come back from Chicago in good health. Though there is a sinking feeling in my spark, like I know something is going to go wrong. Shuttering my optics I feel the kittens settling in for their nap as well. My mind drifts to the others wondering how they have been. If they would even notice if I was gone, I mean we didn't even notice when Mischief went missing. I feel Snow Drift climb off of me and heading over to where Drift was balancing on the tip of his blade. She sat down and stared up at him watching him with her pale blue eyes. Thor decided that he was bored as well as he climbed down and went over to Jimmy and the old Decepticon known as Wheelie. He pounced on the other robot who let out a yell in surprise as the golden kitten began to playfully bat at him. Shaking my head I shutter my optics once again hoping I don't get even more distracted as I think about what to write.

Journal Entry Year 2 Day 16:

I don't think Optimus will be returning, Cade explained he had went to find their creators. Yet he won't be back in his lifetime, he keeps up hope. Cade is like a dad that I've never had, he still treats me like a teen. Wants me back at a certain time, mainly before dark. He does the exact same thing with Bumblebee though he keeps him close. I wonder if my dad would have done the same thing if he was still around. We don't have a medic so Cade has to do that as well. I'm thinking of learning how to repair an Autobot so I can help out. Hopefully nothing will go nothing. I pray nothing will go wrong.

Journal Entry Year 2 Day…

Guess it doesn't matter anymore, Cybetron is now in our atmosphere and we have to defend the Earth. Cade brought Bumblebee and myself to England following a strange robot who I swear was a Decepticon at one point named Cogman. He's prone to fits of rage and almost reminds me of Megatron crossed with Starscream and Knock Out. He doesn't mind me too much as long as I waited outside. There is a bot here called Hot Rod, I wonder if there is one in my world as well. Guess I'll have to wait and see. There is another human, a female called Vivianne. Wait… got to go.

-Shadow Stalker's POV-

I walk around the Submarine that I was on, Jack had brought us with him. I guess he needs the company. Smiling a bit I lay down on the Alliance. Feeling the familiar warmth of family I decide to rest. Perhaps I will send Jack back to his world, once Quintessa is stopped. There is no place in this universe for one who is willing to destroy my child to bring another back. Primus would not allow it and neither will I. Unicorn, Primus, Cybertronians, they are not hers. A calming hum races through the ship and I feel myself calm.

"Thalis?" I hear my sister call out as she walked up to me, she had a worried expression on her face. "Are you sure this place is safe? I can tell we are in water."

"It is, I do not think this being will let you get wet Tyger." I tell her as she sits down next to me and I could tell she is thinking about something. "What is the matter?"

"I know him from somewhere Thalis." she tells me and I watch her with curiosity. "I just don't know where from. He says he is human and deep down I know he is telling the truth. I don't want him to get hurt, I just wish we were back in the junkyard."

"Nowhere is safe sister, not while the Earth is in danger." I tell her and she nods. "And they are going to save it."

"How?" she asks me and I sigh, there is no response that I could give her that wouldn't make her suspicious. Though I know she is already gaining awareness. My dearest sister and friend, if only I wasn't to leave you in the end.
