A/N: Wow. Two story updates in one day. I feel so accomplished. So, here's a new Chapter of "Daughters of Jasper", long-awaited for by all of you humans. This Chapter takes place a few days after the events of the last Chapter. Um...sorry for not posting in a while? Sorry this Chapter's short? I know I should be apologizing, I just don't know for what...

Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers in any shape or form. I only own the story and any and all OCs in said story. If there's someone you're not familiar with, it's probably an OC.

PLEASE COMMENT! I NEED CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM!


Ratchet looks over the scans, humming to himself. Nothing in them could explain what happened and it was starting to become tiresome. A groan brings his attention to the forms occupying his MedBay.

"Ratchet, please let us go. It's so boring in here!" Cody groans, flopping dramatically onto the berth.

"Until we know how this happened, the six of you need to stay in the MedBay. I'm sorry Cody, but that's how it's going to be."

"But we already told you what happened, you cranky old fart!"

Ah, yes…

(Flashback)

"What in the Allspark?!"

Ratchet's optics were wide as he takes in the small group of Cybertronians—and one CyberWolf—that greeted him.

One of them waves.

"Hey, Doc-bot. How's it goin'?"

Ratchet suddenly felt like Prowl, his mind stalling at the familiar voice.

"A-Alex?! How…?!"

One of them, a white and yellow Praxian Femme, rubs the back of her helm.

"So, uh…long version or short version?"

He crosses his arms, his optics narrowing.

"Okay…short version it is. We were being held hostage as some sort of emotional blackmail towards Magnus. Megatron shot us and suddenly all of us were in this weird dream realm type of place surrounded by a bunch of giant Cybertronians. One of them was a really old guy who I'm pretty sure was that Alpha Trion dude Optimus talks about sometimes. He said that we were in that dream realm because we were chosen to hold pieces of some lady Prime's spark and we were made Cybertronian because of it. Then there was this very, very bright light and we're all waking up back in the cavern as Cybertronians."

Ratchet blinks.

What?

(Flashback Ends)

A gentle tug on his servo makes the crotchety Medic look down, his optics softening at the sight of Anna, the small Femmeling ducking her helm.

"W-When are Mommy and Daddy gonna be back?" she whispers.

Sighing, Ratchet kneels down.

"Ultra Magnus and Lucy will return in a few days. Until then, you'll just have to be patient. Okay, Anna?"

The pink-and-yellow Femmeling nods, going back the Berth she had been occupying with Dani and Alex. Raven, Sam, and Cody were on the other Berth with Mattie curled up in the corner of the MedBay, the Cyber-Wolf watching the entire exchange.

Suddenly, the Cyber-Wolf's ears perk up, and he lifts his head. Everyone watches as his tail begins to thump on the MedBay floor, and that's when the engines echo through the Hangar. The girls all look at each other, before flying off of the berths and bolting out of the MedBay.

"MOM! DAD!"

There's the sound of metal impacting metal, and Ratchet moves out of the MedBay, seeing Lucy and the Commander under a pile of Femmelings. The two are laughing, hugging their daughters, smiles on everyone's faceplates.

Optimus moves forward, a smile on his faceplate.

"Welcome back, you too."

Ultra Magnus gets up, hunched over slightly as he's weighed down by two little Seekers on his back, arms wrapped around his neck.

He chuckles.

"It's good to be back, Sir."

"I thought you guys weren't supposed to be back until the end of the week." Bluestreak says, his helm tilting slightly in confusion.

Lucy chuckles as she wraps her arms around Raven and Dani.

"That was the plan, but we couldn't stay away any longer. We missed everyone."

"Well, now that you're back perhaps you can convince your daughters that they need to stay in the MedBay and not try to sneak out."

Six groans greet the Medic's audios, along with beeping. Ratchet moves towards the main console, ignoring the quiet mumbles of relief at being "saved by the beep".

"It's a Cybertronian life signal, but it keep getting distorted by something. I'm unsure if it's Autobot or not."

"Well, whatevah or whoevah it is, Decepticons are closin' in. Fast." Jazz says, staring at the screen.

"Ratchet, activate the GroundBridge. If it is an Autobot, we cannot allow the Decepticons to harm them."


The team flies out of the open GroundBridge, only to stop short, their optics widening at the carnage in front of them.

Hundreds of Decepticons lay around them, torn, burned and bloodied. Small patches of Energon were on fire, the rancid smell bombarding everyone's senses.

"What the Pit could've done this?" Sideswipe says quietly.

A beastly roar answers him, a massive form appearing through the smoke at the far end of the cavern. Optics widen once more as nearly everyone on the team recognizes the form.

"Well, I think it's safe to say that we don't need to worry about the Decepticons hurting him." Wheeljack says, putting his swords away.

"Nope." Smokescreen says, backing up as the burning red optics zone in on the team. "But we should probably worry about him hurting us."
