It's with a heavy heart that I announce that...this is the second-to-the-last chapter. I've had fun writing this and I love writing about Silverspark. I might put her in other stories but I haven't decided yet. I shall miss you, my amazing readers, dearly. Enjoy!

**Autobot base, Silverspark's POV**

I growled under my breath as I remembered the promise I made to Sierra. I'd told her I'd keep her safe. I'd told her that I wouldn't let MECH get to her. And what happened? I failed her! MECH now has all of the children in their cruel, sadistic grasp! Just the thought of it sent a new wave of anger flooding through me. I felt Jazz send love through our bond, calming me slightly. I walked into the main silo of the base to find everybot whispering. The atmosphere was solemn and depressing to me. Techna was in the corner playing with the twins as if nothing was wrong. Arcee, Bee, and Bulkhead seemed unusually depressed. Bee's doorwings were drooped extremely low. The proximity sirens went off as Fowler came in. He looked more pissed off than usual, but this time his anger wasn't directed at Optimus; rather at the human being dragged behind him by a couple of soldiers.

"Prime I found this man trying to contact MECH." Fowler said. I clenched my fists and walked closer to get a better look at the man.

"He's one of them. He's the one who tried to drill a hole in me." I growled. The prisoner looked up in fear, realizing who I was.

"Agent Fowler, who are these men with you?" Optimus asked. Fowler turned to the soldiers who were gawking at us.

"This is Major Lennox and Sergeant Epps." Fowler introduced (A/N yes from the movies!) the soldiers. They nodded when their names were spoken. "They are the two most highly trusted soldiers in the military, or at least by my standards."

"Pleasure to meet you," they said respectfully. Lennox noticed me holding Techna (I had picked her up when I noticed the alarm) and tilted his head to the side.

"Either that's a tiny autobot or you have kids?" Lennox questioned. I nearly laughed at his surprise.

"She's my daughter, Techna." I said with a smile.

"I had a little girl of my own at home." Lennox said with a slight nod.

"Yeah, yeah you're all a big happy family now shut up." The prisoner grumbled. Lennox and Epps glared at the man who just laughed at their looks. "It's been a long time, robot. Tell me, how's your brother?" he looked straight at me. I narrowed my optics at him.

"We need to interrogate him to get information." Optimus cut in, aiming his voice to Fowler. Fowler motioned for Lennox and Epps to follow him. They tied the MECH scientist up to a chair so he couldn't get away. Optimus turned to me. "I don't think it's safe for Techna to be here." I nodded and turned to the twins.

"Will you two keep an eye on her?" I asked. They nodded and took her from my servos and walked down the hall. Thank Primus for the twins…did I just say that? I saw the pure hatred in Lennox and Epps' eyes as they glared at the man. Yup, Lennox is definitely a father.

"What did you do with our human friends?" Optimus asked. The man rolled his eyes.

"Why would I tell you transformers?" He asked. I heard Ironhide's gun start to whirr. I pointed to Hide while glaring at the man.

"Because we have a gun-happy mech who's pissed that you took our friends!" I growled. The man smirked at Ironhide.

"You wouldn't hurt me, you need me!" he spat. Ironhide glared at him.

"Afterwards I won't be afraid to." Ironhide retorted. We all knew THAT was a lie, Optimus wouldn't allow that, but the man didn't know it. Our prisoner paled and his calm expression faltered.

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way." Epps said. "Where are the children?"

"At our base of course," came the sarcastic reply. I was about fed up with this man, the decepticon side of me wanted to slag him right then and there, but without him we wouldn't be able to find Sierra.

"What are the coordinates of your base?" I asked. The man shrugged slightly. Arcee let out a low growl that would terrify Unicron.

"I've lost two partners already, I'm not losing a third because of some pathetic little fleshling." She spat. Lennox and Epps seemed slightly offended and Arcee noticed. "Sorry, the insult was only aimed at him." her tone still had the acid in it. Epps noticed something and grabbed the top of the man's head and pulled something away from his ear.

"A communication device, can you guys track the other end?" Epps asked. The MECH scientist looked shocked and worried when Ratchet nodded. I glared down at the man.

"Looks like you helped us after all." I smirked as he paled. Ratchet finished tracking the signal and found the base. Fowler turned to Epps and Lennox.

"Take him to the federal prison immediately." Fowler said. They both nodded.

"Yes sir," they said. I paused for a moment before taking a step towards the humans.

"Thanks for your help guys." I said. Epps nodded and Lennox looked up at me.

"They're messing with human children and dissecting aliens, they deserve whatever's coming for them. Be sure to kick their butts for me." Lennox said. I laughed slightly and nodded as they left with Fowler close behind. Jazz placed a servo on my shoulder.

"Time ta save da humans." he said. Prowl went up to Optimus and asked him something. Optimus responded with a nod and the twins came back in with Techna.

"Autobots prepare to roll out. Prowl will stay behind and work the ground bridge while keeping an optic on Techna." Optimus announced. Sides set Techna down near the computers and stood with the rest of us. Prowl set the coordinates and opened the ground bridge. "Autobots roll out." We all transformed and drove through.

**MECH base, Jack's POV**

I opened my eyes slowly, blinking them as my vision cleared. People were talking all around me saying how big of a success I was. They mentioned the others too which showed that they were alive as well which was a huge relief for me.

"Pretty soon they'll all be fighting for us!" a man's voice came from beside me. I held back a growl as they ranted about me. Wait, I'm stronger than they are now. A grin formed as I glared down at them. I broke the binds they had on my wrists and ankles. I stood to my new full height, a total of 15 ft. Ever since MECH turned me into an autobot I've been learning about their weak points. I swatted some of them away and began to run. I found Sierra, Raf, and Miko in their new forms hanging from chains like I had been. I broke them and helped them stand.

"Jack we need to get out of here!" Sierra whispered. She was a foot smaller than me, about the same height as Miko and 2 feet taller than Raf. We ran until they heard the sirens.

"Experiments 1, 2, 3, and 4 have escaped. Intruders alert." The same message blasted through the building repeatedly. I smiled and knew the bots had arrived. Our moment of happiness was ended when an electrical current was sent through us, causing us to collapse. I saw medics coming up and disabled our vocalizers then ran away, knowing they were unable to move us without equipment. I heard footsteps before everything went black.

**Silverspark's POV**

"Experiments 1, 2, 3, and 4 have escaped. Intruders alert." I groaned as the message was played again. I noticed MECH agents running out of a room, darting away. I ran into the room and saw 4 small bots on the floor unconscious. I kneeled down next to the smallest and examined him. I gasped in realization.

::Optimus, Ratchet, anybot! Please respond!:: I commed quickly.

::Optimus here, what's the problem Silverspark?:: Optimus replied.

::I found four captive unfamiliar Cybertronians unconscious…and they're younglings.:: There was a silence on the other end for a moment.

::Ratchet, the twins, and Jazz are on their way to your location. Any sign of the children?::

::Negative, I'll keep my optics open.:: I ended the comm. link and shook the small one slightly. They slowly woke up and looked around confused. They looked completely terrified.

"It's alright little ones, I'm here to help you." I said softly. One of the femmelings looked at me in surprise and sadness. "Are you able to speak?" they all shook their heads no and pointed to their vocalizers. MECH must've damaged, stolen, or disabled their vocalizers. "Help is on the way, okay? My friends are on their way, one's a doctor to make sure you're unharmed." They nodded slightly. First they steal human children, now Cybertronian ones? I looked up to see Ratchet run in with Jazz and the twins on his tail.

"Silverspark what happened to them?" Ratchet asked as he kneeled down, scanning each individual.

"I found them unconscious in here. MECH did something to their vocalizers." I responded. Jazz kneeled next to me. Ratchet examined their vocalizers then did something to them.

"They were disabled, no serious damage. They're very low on energon however." Ratchet said, standing. The younglings tried to stand but were unable to find their balance and ended up falling.

"Stay down for now. What are your names?" I asked. The four shared a look before the seeker spoke.

"Silverspark it's me, Sierra." She said. My optics widened and I heard the twins gasp. My surprise instantly turned to fury as I placed a servo on her shoulder.

"What have they done to you?" I growled.

"Can we please just get back to the base?" Jack asked wearily. Well I assumed it was Jack. He was the tallest mech and sounded like him. I looked at Ratchet who nodded.

"Sides, comm. everyone and tell them what we found." I commanded to said mech. He nodded and commed base; I turned back to the children. "Can you walk?"

"We just tried standing and it didn't work very well!" Miko exclaimed, obviously frustrated with the situation. I chuckled slightly and kneeled down.

"Jazz, you take Raf. Sides and Sunny, you take Miko and Jack. I'll carry Sierra while Ratchet leads us out of here." I commanded. We all grabbed our appointed youngling and started to run out of the base. When we caught up to the others Arcee immediately ran up to Sunny who was carrying Jack. Bulkhead and Bee followed suite and went to their own charges. We set them on the ground gently so we could wait for the ground bridge. That's when I got a good look at them.

Jack was a dark green bot with doorwings, but he wasn't built to be a flyer. He had a darker shade of blue optics than most bots but still looked nice. Sierra was a light orange with gray highlighting's. Her optics were an unusual light purple. Her wings clearly showed that she was a seeker. Miko was a dark crimson (A/N haha like in my story A New Identity or It's a Race to the Finish) color with some dark blue marks on random points. Her optics were a bright green. She had wings and wheels, evident that she was a triple charger like Techna. Raf was white and blue, he too was a seeker. I was surprised when I saw his optics were silver.

The ground bridge opened, ending every discussion going on. We helped the younglings walk through. Prowl was startled to see them, he almost glitched when we explained everything. Eventually the ex-humans were healthy and standing in the silo sipping energon. Sierra looked up with me with her wings tilted slightly down.

"How am I going to explain this to mom?" she asked sadly. Everyone tensed when they heard the question, knowing the families of the humans wouldn't be too happy to find out about it. June knew about the bots but what about Sierra's mom? What about Raf's family? What about Miko's family in Japan and host parents in the States? Jack walked up with a slight smile on his face.

"While I was in MECH's clutches they said something about us having a human form, so we could fit in and attack more crowded areas." Jack said. The younglings shared a look.

"But how do we transform?" Sierra asked. After about an hour of teaching they were able to transform. It wasn't surprising that they didn't have alt forms, they were too young. But Jack had been right; they did have human forms that were an exact copy of their human selves. Sierra smiled as she transformed back into her bipedal form. "Thank Primus for that! I have no clue how they figured out how to do that but it made things a little easier."

"Are we staying this small?" Raf asked. everyone chuckled as his wings drooped slightly.

"No, you're only a youngling. You're not done growing yet I promise." I laughed. I looked at Miko with a smirk. "Looks like you're going to be the first ever quadruple charger since you'd normally be a triple charger."

"Yes!" Miko exclaimed, pumping her fists into the air several times. Everyone laughed at her excitement. Arcee looked at Jack with a smile.

"Looks like we can still be partners." She said. Jack nodded happily. I held Techna close to my chassis and looked down at the tiny seekerlet. I watched Jazz talk with Sierra, it was like she had become his adopted sparkling. I walked up into the middle of the crowed.

"Sorry guys, but the children…younglings…okay I have no idea what to call you now but it's time for you to return home. You've been gone for a few days." I announced.

"Technically we are younglings." Jack said. I shrugged slightly.

"Silverspark is right. Jack, Miko, Sierra, and Rafael you must retain cover like the rest of us. That is my only request before you leave." Optimus said. The younglings nodded before transforming into their human forms. Arcee, Bulkhead, Bee, and I transformed (after I gave Jazz Techna) and drove them home with sparks filled with happiness. (A/N yes that was cheesy I know but oh well!)

I will write an epilogue and I swear I will post it tomorrow! I shall not fail you! Thanks for reading! :)
