Story 1

At the beginning of the war on Cybertron, a small war council decided to have a going to be autobot as an inside bot on the decepticons. The Femme (only just out of youngling stage) Quickstrike agreed and joined the decepticons as a spy. As time went on she became stronger and less unsettled about things. She was a triple changer but the Decepticons only knew her as a flier. If she was given a mission from the Autobots during the time she would change into her Autobot mode.

Over the years it became that the only bots to engage her in battle were the ones that knew of who she was, others feared her. Occasionally she would verse an Autobot that didn't know and she would nearly put them in stasis, but versing the normal ones she would only damage them slightly. During the battles she would give important information to the Autobots. It was the only way to give info without being overheard. She was high in the decepticon ranks, third in command, as she was one of the only ones that could stand against some of the toughest Autobots, second only to Megatron, Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Ratchet, Jazz and a few others. It was one of the most tight lipped secret for if she was found out, she would lose her life and they would no longer have an inside bot. She was feared by the autobots and decepticons alike.

When she fought against the Autobots, she hardly shot but used her blades and claws. She was a very intimidating femme and showed hardly any emotion. There was one that was suspicious of her. He was Mirage, Autobot, camo officer.

He often watched the fights, and took shots, while using his ability to be invisible. He saw as she took swipes at non-lethal parts of the body. She would only make a mech unable to battle and go into stasis lock. He also watched as she battled the more powerful bots, he noticed that they didn't fight as seriously as they could. Yeah they fought seriously but only enough as to not attract attention. He also noticed that if something was happening to his comrades, she or the bot she was battling would do something that stopped the autobot from getting seriously damaged.

He was going to question his prime about it when there was the decepticon alarm going off. He cursed and raced outside to see her with other decepticons. As she was behind them all they didn't see the look of absolute loathing shot in the direction of one called starscream, before her face was wiped of emotion. Mirage did though, and that made him more suspicious, not the part that she didn't like starscream, because let's face it no one liked starscream, but because she looked straight at Prime after. So he decided to be the one to attack her. He used his ability to sneak up on her and attack, however she heard his blade sliding out and twirled around to his position.

"Autobot Mirage, well, I know exactly how to deal with you." He saw her activate something in her optics then realized she had a mechanism to see him. He was stumped, only autobots had the tech to do that. He was now worried.

"Do not fret Mirage, no other decepticon has the tech." Mirage had also noticed that she never insulted the autobots she was battling, with the usual things that cons did.

They battled it out for a bit when they came too close to a deep canyon edge without noticing. One of the cons, Dirge, did however and it was one of the ones that hated her, since she rejected his advances like so many others. So he shot at her which actually hit mirage in a highly damaging place. The con shot again which knocked mirage into her and they both went tumbling down into the canyon. Before Mirage slipped into stasis, he saw her reaching for him and using herself to stop their decent. They weirdest thing was what she said in her monotone voice before he slipped off.

"Stay with me Mirage, since I wasn't able to get to one of them, I need you so I can."

When Mirage woke he was surprised to see her there fixing herself up from the damage she had done while saving him and herself from the fall.

"why am I still online?" when she heard him she spun around and rushed over to see his injuries.

"I will let you ask my Prime that, he will tell you. Now since I know that he is on his way with Ironhide and ratchet, we will have to wait for them." He was confused and suspicious of what she was going to do to the prime and why was she calling him my prime, only the Autobots, who felt they were exceptionally lower than Optimus and fully loyal, called him that. Mirage was seriously confused.

When the three she named arrived they took a breath of relief to see both alive, which just put Mirage on edge.

"My Prime," Mirage looked over to see something that made him restart his optics a few times. She was bowing to the prime.

"I have to get going soon, However since I was unable to face you in battle today, I would like to do so now." And with that she lunged, it did not seem to surprise Optimus in fact he saw it coming, as Mirage tried to help prime, he was shoved back down by Ratchet and Ironhide.

"we will explain everything back on base, she won't hurt Prime too badly." Mirage was so confused. All of a sudden the fight stopped and Quickstrike took off. Prime faced them with a very troubled face. When they got back to base, many where happy to see them unharmed and Mirage alive, some asked if the femme was dead but the answer they received was the same, she was alive.

When the four where alone, mirage demanded to be told what was going on. Optimus called in Jazz and a couple of other mechs including Prowl, Ultra Magnus and Jolt. They explained that Quickstrike was on their side and working as a spy for the Autobots.

Optimus explained that her contact this time was urgent and that Megatron was going after the Cube soon. They set up a defensive plan concerning the cube and prepared for when it happened.

***** up to here written

From then on it was usually mirage that fought Quickstrike and they ended up falling in love. Of course then never admitted it for two reasons, one, they didn't know how the other felt, and two, it was too dangerous if they got caught. In the last battle they fought on Cybertron together, She had told Mirage that she needed to speak with them urgently. They made a scene of capturing her. Many Autobots cheered as she was taken in. the mechs knew something was big if she needed to be taken in. it usually meant she needed to talk for an extended period of time that battle wouldn't be able to provide.

She came with a grave warning. Megatron was going to attack the femmes and sparklings. The room was silent.

"are you sure?" Magnus asked, Quickstrike nodded. "I have thought he would do something like that sooner, but I am glad that it was later rather than sooner. I got one of the cities near our base, to hide their femmes and sparklings, even if they are neutral they put up a fight before they listened to me. I guess I only convinced them by playing back Megatron's voice." She projected the Decepticon leaders voice. "we will make the Autobots weak and remind them they are only helpless little maggots. We will kill the femmes and sparklings."

"he is mad!" Jolt gasped. Quickstrike snorted, "he always was." Their conversation continued of where to hide the femmes and sparklings.

"You must go around in your Autobot form to make sure we know that the city is evacuated. By the way, what should we call you?" Ratchet asked, everyone payed attention. Quickstrike looked around.

"I do not know, I will have to decide when I get to the first area. I just know it will be something important to me." When the meeting was adjurned everyone but Jazz left to evacuate the base. When word came to him of the complete evacuation, he turned to see her thinking. They made the base look like she had broken out of it by blowing out the walls and scratch marks etc.

"I have thought of a name." She said as she and Jazz were about to leave. At their parting ways she told him. "My name is Illusion." She then turned and ran off. Jazz grinned, as he knew exactly why she chose that name and who was important.

When she got back to the base she told Megatron where the base was but she said that she doubted that there would be anyone there now.

She asked to be the one to destroy the femmes and sparklings.

"Why would I let you do that? You are a femme." Rasped Megatron who was recovering from a shot from Prime

"It is because I am a femme. They would be more trusting to me. That would make them the easiest prey my lord." Quickstrike answered.

Megatron seemed to think it over before agreeing.

Quickstrike was then sent out to destroy the femmes and sparklings. But in reality she was getting them moved to the hiding place Prime had set up. She disguised herself as an Autobot, by using her land mode that the Decepticons did not know she had. She was Autobot femme Illusion. She wanted her Autobot cover to be something close to Mirage.

When Mirage found out that it was in fact Quickstrike going undercover using the name Illusion made him shocked, but then he smiled brightly. Jazz had told him when he got back to base, before he reported it to prime. Jolt had cornered him and pestered him until he found out why Mirage was smiling so much, previously Mirage had caved and told Jolt that he loved the spy, Jolt swore that he would never tell anyone, anyway, Mirage told jolt that Quickstrike's Autobot name was Illusion. Jolt laughed, he knew that Jazz had a theory about Quickstrike's feelings and this just proved it.

The next time she had to be taken in was telling them of Megatron's plans to take the All-Spark. Mirage was not with them at the time as he was on an extended mission.

At the battle of Tyger Pax, she was with Megatron when he went after the cube. She was fighting Ironhide when he told her of the plan to thrust the cube into space, she decided to follow after Megatron to make sure that if he found the all spark, she would offline him and escape with it, even if it killed her she swore she would get it back to the Autobots. Ironhide was worried but agreed. The conversation was cut off when they saw the cube launch and Megatron about to kill a youngling Bumblebee as she recalled. She ordered Ironhide to throw her at Megatron to stop him and Ironhide did so. When Megatron was forced to let Bumblebee go with deep neck wounds and a damaged voice processor, he told Quickstrike to offline bee and he left to tell Starscream what he was going to do.

Before any of the Autobots got to the two, they saw her do something to the youngling's neck then take off. Many (who didn't know about her) feared the worst for their youngest comrade and finished off their fights to get to him. Ratchet was there first and saw that she had saved his life, but not his voice processor. He had gone into stasis shortly after she left. Ratchet to keep the act up that she was a con, ordered Ironhide to get them back to base. In the med-bay, ratchet allowed only Prime and Ironhide in, they knew that she had saved bee, but they also knew she had a message.

Hide told them what she was planning to do and they all were extremely worried at what would happen to her. They were also worried about how mirage would react as they knew the two had gotten close and cared for each other. Getting out of the medbay they were bombared by questions about Bumblebee. Optimus wanted them to be less harsh to Quickstrike for when she came back into the autobots. He told them the truth about her helping bee, to which they were shocked. Since she was known for her strength and emotionlessness.

When bee awoke he sent for Prime, many were confused but Optimus knew that she had told the young mech something. When he walked into the medbay, before Bee could use his silent communication, optimus spoke

"What did she tell you, young one?" Bee was shocked but wrote down what she said, he handed it to prime who read it. She said to tell you she would take care of him and to tell mirage she was looking forward to battling him again so he was not to offline. Optimus smiled which confused the young mech.

"thank you Bumblebee, please don't tell anyone about this, it would put her in great danger. She saved your life; never forget that, young one." Bee was confused but went along with what his prime wanted. Meanwhile Prime was grinning inside, Magnus owed him a cube of High Grade, they had a bet on whether or not Mirage would be in the message, Optimus won, Magnus thought she would be more professional.

Ironhide was the one to tell Mirage what happened. The reaction was what they were expecting. However, the ignorant Autobots were worried when Mirage suddenly attacked Ironhide.

"how dare you let her do something like that! She could get killed."

"It was her idea and you know she is the only one who can do it." This seemed to make Mirage madder and Ratchet had to step in to sedate him. The Bots seemed to get the idea of what was happening, a femme close to Mirages spark was sent on a dangerous mission and ran the risk of not coming back.

When the two cons found the path of the All spark and where it was heading, Megatron in his impatience hurried forward giving Quickstrike the opportunity to send back a transmission to the Autobot base of where the all spark was heading and what Megatron planned for the future of the planet they had scanned. She knew it would take a few years to get there but she hoped they wouldn't find it for quite some time to give the Autobots a chance to get there and help. As she caught up to Megatron they continued traveling towards Earth when she was hit by a blast from one of Megatron's cannons.

"Why in the pit did you do that?" she said emotionlessy at him.

"you were not focusing!" the shot had damaged some of her systems. "When I get the Cube, you Quickstrike will become my queen."

"Pit no. I don't want to be your queen, I am a soldier not a leader, so you can shove that offer up your aft." Megatron chuckled he made a move to force his dominance on her when she shot him, damaging him. They both spiralled towards earth, both not being able to change their trajectory, fell into the arctic circle. Megatron slipped into stasis immediately while Quickstrike remained online but buried in ice. A few years passed and Quickstrike was awake with only small amounts of recharge.

When the captain Witwicky found them she had a sudden flash of a young boy, and the name Sam Witwicky, plunging the cube into Megatron's chest and offlining him. She spoke up for the first time in many years, which startled the captain as he shouted, they had made a discovery.

"My fine captain." the man jumped quite a few feet in the air and whipped his head around to stare at her, "I see a very great destiny about a descendant of yours. It is an honour meeting the ancestor of a mighty sparkling. I look forward to meeting him in the future." Quickstrike finally slipped into a much needed stasis as the captain touched Megatron's claw and got the imprint on his glasses.

That was the last thing she saw for many years. Until she was awoken by the very thing they had headed out to find.

Story 2

Quickstrike's optics onlined when she felt the overwhelming presence of the all spark hit her mind screaming at her to wake up. As she looked to see where she was at her sensors picked up that the all spark was in a place just next to the one she was in. as she turned to look around she saw a similary frozen megatron and laughed inside at the sight of the mighty con leader having human crawl all over him. She had finally awoken and watched as the humans worked on megatron, pulling him apart and discovering many things.

When she extended her mind to the all spark she was rewarded with information. She wanted to destroy the humans for the number of sparklings that they had created and destroyed. She was going to grab the all spark and leave but she was notified that she could not leave the planet because Megatron's shot had damaged an important piece and she couldn't fold into her space travel pod.

She and the allspark made a deal that when the sparklings were created they would go to her. They spoke of the planet as her systems booted up. They spoke of what she had seen when she saw captain witwicky, she was told by the allspark to leave it there and hide somewhere where she could keep an eye on megatron in case he got out and see when the boy was born and stuff like that. When they were good enough, the scientists had already fled from her as their primitive machines had picked up on her coming online. She could have died laughing at their hiding location. They were hiding behind Megatron from her. They did let a chuckle slip, but the humans though she was going to kill them so they hid further. She walked out of the hanger and to where the all spark was. She picked up on that the humans were going to do something that would try to put her out. So with a stroke of the allspark and a zap of energy, Quickstrike disappeared.

Quickstrike appeared in Navada somewhere in the forests. She found the date was 1990. She scanned an alt mode 1990 silver NSX 300ZX TT, and decided to search for the boy she had seen. She went down the Witwicky line and found that a Sam Witwicky had been born that year. She had seen a grown up him when she realized that she had a few years until Megatron woke up. She decided to watch over Sam but without his knowledge. Quickstrike felt incredible sad at the fact she hadn't and wouldn't see Mirage for quite a while. Her mask had started to break while being with Mirage, she just knew she would never again be the same as before she met mirage unless he died. Her spark clenched at the thought.

A month passed and she got a new sparkling. She was disgusted with the humans experimentation. The 'killing of the sparklings' is only allspark putting them into stasis until they get transported to Quick where they come back online and she trains them. Of course there are those that don't make it and it is a sad occasion when they have to incinerate the sparkling for risk of discovery.

As each sparkling gets old enough to look after them-selves, Quick sends them around the world to watch out for Autobots and Decepticons. Reports came in every 3 months.

Being in Tranquility to look after Sam, she had to be human so she could look after herself and she needed a place for the sparklings to live. So she bought a house on Sam's street and lived there. She had made everything a human would need so that she could remain inconspicuous. When asked by neighbours what her job was, she replied she worked from home and had sparklings to take care of. That always threw the neighbours for they did not know what sparklings were.

She had introduced herself to all people on the street so that if anything happened they wouldn't waste time questioning her. She had only helped Sam by showing him how to stick up for himself after she caught him being picked on by bullies. Other than that she only watched from a distance. She sent the oldest sparkling who she had trained specifically to not pick up on ANY form of Cybertronian scanner. The sparkling hid himself in various appliances in Sam's house so if something bad happened the sparkling could take care of him inconspicuously.

As the years pass, Quickstrike felt Sam was old enough to take care of himself (11 years) and Quick had gotten so many sparklings to look after, she takes her leave. She heads over to mission city and dropped herself right off the radar, but her scans were always in the direction of hoover dam, so that she would be alerted if something came up. Unlike in tranquillity she remained in vehicle form, and allowed the money she had gotten from her sold house, and the money she had snagged off of rich bastards over the years, to sit in a bank account, and rack up in amount while it was simply left there, that she made when she realized she needed to have a human lifestyle. She used the money only to wash and fix up herself.

She kept tabs on sam, through the sparkling safespot. When she got word from one of the sparklings that looked over the states that there was an autobot earthbound, she told the sparkling she was about to send out to QATAR to tail him to see what he was up to. Word reached her that the mech came into Nervada Quick realised he was searching for the All-Spark and so she told the QATAR bot to go to where he was designated. She told Safespot to report on anything the autobot does.

She decided it was time to get back to hoover dam so when Megatron was activated he wouldn't think that she had left him there for 17 years. She had trained a few sparklings to teach other sparklings as they arrived at the home she'd bought in mission city (it was more an abandoned shed where she could be in her bipedal mode all the time.

So she let herself be caught by sector 7 and they placed her back in the freeze. The All-Spark put her under as she didn't want to feel the pain of them freezing her. She never went into stasis though and she continuously got reports from her sparklings. Reports had been that there were a few decepticons on earth looking for her and Megatron. A few months later she got a report from the QATAR bot that said Blackout had destroyed an American airbase and that he had arrived and battled with him, but retreated when blackout left. He had inconspicuously follows Lennox's team and only added fire when the aircrafts were firing. (his was the blast that knocked off the tail.)

She was reported to by Safespot that the autobot was Bumblebee and that he was Sams Guardian. She told him to get out of there and head to where the other sparklings were in mission city.

Quickstrike came out of recharge when her sensors alerted her that an autobot and decepticon was approaching. The autobot came in first but she kept her focus on the Decepticon. She was told by the All-Spark that it was the young mech Bumblebee who was Sam's guardian so she was suspicious of why he was here. She was concerned that Sam was now left unguarded.

Her attention was taken however as she felt the young autobot she had helped at Tyger pax crying in pain as the humans tried to freeze him and take him apart. She began to grow furious and wanted to step on the squishy looking organics, her audios picked up a group of humans coming their way.

"This is totally classified. This is the NBE-1 and NBE-2 Chamber." Quickstrike looked closely at the group of humans and saw one that made her spark jump for joy and relief knowing he was alright, but it didn't show up on the humans machines as she had trained herself to not allow her spark to jump when she was lying. It was Sam and he looked like he did in the vision she saw. That meant Megatron's offlining was at hand. She listened in on their conversation. She listened as they sounded smug that they had caught her a few months ago, she wished she could scoff and tell them that she let herself be caught. She mentally laughed as the Sam got up in one of the other man's face about Megatron's name. When they asked about her, the boy looked confused, "I don't know. Optimus said that there was another but that was an autobot, this is a decepticon." She was excited that Optimus was on earth.

Sam, continued on about why we were there. She wanted to tell him that they have the cube but he seem to figure it out as he caught the glance of the two sector 7 agents. As they left, Quickstrike started to boot up her semi frozen systems. After a few minutes she felt the temperature start to rise and froze. It meant that the cons were there.

As the humans (sam etc.) ran past the two defrosting cybertronians, her systems onlined faster than megatrons and she broke out of the ice much to the humans fear. They began shooting in hope of stopping her. "stop shooting me, please. It is very uncomfortable." They were shocked that a feminine voice came towards them, even though it was monotone with a slight softness and not filled with the threat of death. Before they could question her she spoke. "Is Optimus really on earth?" Sam and Mikaela seemed totally confused at why a decepticon was excited about Optimus being on earth, but they just nodded anyway. "Good, you need to get Bumblebee out of here if you want the cube."

"Why would you care you're a Decepticon?"

"I will explain everything later but young Bumblebee is in trouble and he needs to get out of here." Sam immediately straightened up and ordered Simmons to take him to his car.

The femme was already on her way, not seeing the point in asking. She kept her scanners open and listened in on the conversation while scanning for the mech. Her like for the military men with Sam grew as they back Sam up. When she found what room Bee was in she took off towards it realizing what situation he could be in. Her thundering footsteps could be heard throughout the base as she ran for the young Autobots location. She was closely followed by Sam and everybody else. She barged through the door and the yellow mech looked at her with fear then recognition, but still more fear as she was a feared cybertronian by both sides of the war and awe as he remembered she had saved him back on cybertron. She decided to deal with it later as she moved towards the mech (the humans now spraying her and Bee, but All-Spark had lowered the pain of being frozen as well as her being frozen in the arctic circled had numbed a few receptors that had not fully come back yet.) the humans behind her screamed at the scientists to stop and eventually they did.

Quickstrike had gotten the bot out of the chains and he aimed a cannon at her. "State purpose of freeing me." Bee said through different radio stations. "I guess I saved your life once again, youngling." Quickstrike stated. Sam broke into the conversation before Bee could respond.

"Bee, the decepticons are coming. We'll take you to the All spark." As they walked towards the All-Spark chamber she walked to the NBE-1 Chamber. She spotted all the humans on his frame.

"If you want to live you will get off Lord Megatron!" She spoke with fierceness as she was sure that Megatron was online and just too weak to break the ice. The humans scattered.

She felt when the mech and humans left the base but frowned when she realised some were still there just underground. She hoped they could take care of themselves as she sensed Frenzy going after them.

Megatron broke out of the ice with a loud crash, ordering through the com. Links for all cons on earth to gather. Megatron turned to her and smiled evilly. "Let us go, my queen." She mentally rolled her optics spoke darkly about not being his queen and if he would like for her to blast him again. That annoyed him so he shot at her clipping her shoulder. She did nothing however. They transformed into their areal modes from Cybertron (as she was a triple changer, part of the reason she was put in the position) and took off towards the cube.

~With Bumblebee~

Sam was really confused at the Cons behaviour "Bee, who was that decepticon?" Bee answered as best he could with the radio

"Quickstrike, she is one of the most feared, second only to Megatron and she is feared by both sides." Sam was speechless but Mikaela took the chance to speak up, "Then why didn't she attack us and why did she say all that stuff about saving your life?"

"I'm not sure why she didn't attack us, but when I launched the Cube off Cybertron, Megatron attacked me and ripped at my neck, destroying my voice process or and cutting important lines in my neck. I was told that she saved my life when Ironhide threw her into Megatron to stop him from killing me, but when Megatron took off she fixed my cables before I offlined and gave me a message to give to prime." The two teenagers nodded the Sam rememberd something.

"she seemed like she didn't want to be there or fight us at all."

"I do not know Sam, you would have to ask her yourself, if you ever get the chance to, though I highly doubt. It probably has something to do with what Optimus told me back home." Sam nodded; he then spotted a blue and red semi heading towards them. Sam recognised it immediately along with the cars following. "Optimus!" the autobots spun around and joined on to the end of the train of cars.

Bumblebee took this opportunity to share his news over .

*Optimus, Quickstrike is on earth.* Bumblebee saw Ironhide swerve slightly then straightened himself, Optimus and the other bots noticed this and chuckled slightly

*are you sure Bumblebee?*

*yes sir, she helped me out again. I can't figure out why. She didn't even try to hurt us or get Megatron out of his ice prison. But if she was on our side shouldn't she have come with us?*

*I'm sure she's trying to help us, in the way she can* Jazz spoke.

~Back with Quickstrike~

When she and Megatron get to mission city, she sees the other Decepticons and shudders slightly not fully used to being near beings who pretty much ooze evilness, again. Megatron saw this but he thought it was something else.

"Are you that excited my queen." Quickstrike glares at him and shoots him (she did warn him also she is warning the autobots where they are). He growls and backhands her across the face, his claws cutting deep into her face plates from the force. 'that's gonna scar' she thought. She was knocked down by the force, just showing how hard he had hit her. She did not make a noise though.

~with the Autobots~

At the sound of the shot, eyes moved to where they could see the Decepticons standing on the building. They saw Megatron backhand Quickstrike and the autobots growled (except Optimus, but he growled on the inside). Bumblebee was confused at why they were growling but he was a bit angry at Megatron for hitting the one who had saved his life time and time again. He wanted to ask her about it. They realised that Quickstrike had given them the location of the decepticons. They were distracted as a jet flew over. Thinking it was the military they popped the smoke and it was starscream.

The Decepticon on the building had broken up and got ready to fight for the All-Spark. Quickstrike follows Megatron as he told her to. She watches when Jazz attacks devastator (the tank). Starscream flies up next to her "Femme, how wonderful it is to see you again." Quickstrike turned to him, eyes full with rage and slid her sword out from where it was hidden in her armour and sliced him across the chest.

Megatron, who had turned at the sound of the sword, chuckled slightly "we are so much alike, my queen."

She didn't get the chance to respond as he took off, heading for the human group as he saw the All-Spark lying by its self. "fools." She murmered and took off after him.

She sees Jazz go up to Megatron to distract. When Megatron takes off with him, Quickstrike nods at Ratchet and Ironhide who look pleadingly at her.

Quickstrike flies up to Megatron and he spots her eyeing Jazz with slight anger in her optics.

"Lord Megatron, may I take on the Saboteur. He has caused me many a need for the medic." Megatron glances at Jazz then throws him at Quickstrike and chuckles evilly "Have your fun, my queen." He flies off before she had a chance to respond, again. Jazz looked thankful at her as she pounced, just to give the other Decepticons a show.

They were play fighting when they got out of sight and then stopped. Jazz saw the deep claw marks in her face plates and growled. Quickstrike figured what he was looking at and shrugged.

"I knew getting a signal to you was important so I took whatever consequence was coming. Jazz let it slide but still looked unhappy. "I'm sorry Jazz but you know what I have to do." Jazz nodded and prepared himself for the shot. He commed Ironhide and ratchet to pick him up after the battle. Quickstrike shot him then left. As she left something Megatron said registered in his processor. "My Queen?"

As Quickstrike left Jazz she flew to where Megatron was and saw he was cornering Sam on the top of a high-rise building.

~with Sam~

Sam swallowed as he heard Megatron ordering him to hand over the cube. He suddenly remembered the old neighbour of his that taught him how to stick up for himself, she also told him he would find the real meaning of the motto his family lived by. "I'm never giving you the All-Spark" he shouted

~Quickstrike~

She watched as Megatron said something then raised his hand to strike sam off the building. She looked to see Optimus hurrying but he wouldn't be there quick enough. She slammed down on her accelerator and smashed into Megatron. Sam looks startled and frightened but thankful to her at the same time.

"Run Sam! Go now." Megatron glares at her with so much venom and betrayal.

"How dare you betray me, Quickstrike! You would have been my Queen!" Quickstrike glared at the Decepticon leader.

"I was never on your side to begin with." Megatron looked infuriated and he gained a sudden surge of strength he pushed her over the side of the building, ripping into her chassis. He then turned to the cowering boy with the cube and raises his flail and destroys the corner where Sam was standing. Sam screams as he falls, but Optimus gets there in time to catch him.

Quickstrike watches with a smile as it comes to last battle between Optimus and Megatron. She sees Blackout come down by the human soldiers. Starscream comes up to her looking very curious. Quickstrike not wanting to show her damaged chest plates, quickly powers up her cannons and shoots at starscream until he flies off.

She sees with trepidation Megatron fling Optimus to the ground as he tries to protect sam and the All-Spark from the Decepticon leader. She uses the remaining of her strength to get between the two as Megatron goes for the killing strike. Quickstrike feels as claws go through her damaged chest, through her spark chamber and out her back.

The battlefield goes silent as both sides see what Quickstrike had done. The Decepticons were angry that there had been a spy within their ranks since the beginning of the war. And they realised why the autobots had always been a step ahead of them. The autobots were pained because someone who they trusted and loved was killed protecting their prime from death. Optimus used the distraction Quickstrike defence had conjured and attacked the Decepticon leader.

Quickstrike was in so much pain, she blocked her comms and screamed in pain. Worried voices reached her in an instant and she realised she had blocked only personal comm and left the reporting com wide open. She tried to tell them to stay where they were on the outskirts of the city but she was unable to form any words and pain overtook her.

Megatron flung her to the side and attacked Optimus. Optimus blocked and got back up to fight but he was wounded and fell back down. Optimus shouted for Sam to put the cube in his chest. Sam ignored Optimus and ran for Megatron. Quickstrike saw what he was going to do and tripped up Megatron as he tried to get to sam thinking she had off-lined already. Her toe claws cut into his chest giving an opening for sam to put the cube. Sam took the opportunity and thrust the cube into the Decepticon's spark. Quickstrike smiled because it was the second time she saw the scene. The All-Spark thanked Quickstrike and moved its consciousness into one small bit that didn't melt.

Quickstrike seeing the Decepticon leader dead, smiled her last at the autobots. The last thing she knew was darkness.

*With the others*

The battle came to a stop as megatron was defeated and the remaining cons retreated. Optimus looked away from sam to see Quickstrike's optics offline.

"Ratchet!" he yelled as he went over to the autobot spy. Ratchet ran straight over to them and opened quicks chest to see her spark was dimming. It however was a blue spark unlike the cons normal red one. Bee finally realized what was going on and felt sad that the femme was dying.

"Whats going on bee. Why do you look sad all of a sudden?" Bees young charge asked him. "She was an autobot Sam." It wasn't Bee who spoke, it was Ironhide.

"But she was a con, wasn't she? There were the red eyes and working for Megatron." Sam asked. Ironhide shook his head.

"She was an autobot from the start. However before she got the insignia we asked her to be the Autobots' insider to the cons she risked her life every day to keep the Autobots as safe as she could. She came here with Megatron so that if he did get the cube before we got here, then she would fight Megatron for the cube. Her designation when in her other mode, was Illusion." Bee looked thoughtful.

Jazz came up to the young scout, (he had been retrieved by Ironhide after he scared off Starscream.)

"She never killed any autobot, do you know why she is feared, because she never hesitated to kill a con, only trusted by Megatron, who was so sure that she was on his side, but she never killed an autobot, severely damaged to the point of emergency stasis, but never killed. She was able to stand against, us and other bots, sure we were not fighting at our full, but neither was she." Jazz looked over at the dying femme then a way of despair hit him, he turned to Ironhide

"How in the pit are we going to tell Mirage?" Ironhide froze and then looked to the ground. "His reaction when she left was bad enough, but to tell him she off-lined."

*With Mirage*

Meanwhile, Mirage was in the middle of a conversation with a mech named Jolt when he felt a pain in his spark. Placing a hand over his spark and frowning in pain, Mirage realized what was going on. The pain became unbearable as he slipped into stasis hearing jolt yelling for assistance to get him to the med-bay.

*with Quick and Mirage*

They both woke in a sandy terrain on earth. Quick was up first thanks to her con training and looked around to find Mirage. She cried out his name and he turned towards her. They hugged tightly tears of energon streaming down their faces from the years of separation.

"I thought I'd never see you again." Mirage cried. Quickstrike just sniffed and nodded. "How did you die Mirage?" Quick asked. Mirage looked confused.

"I didn't, I was talking to Jolt when a pain hit my spark…" Mirage seemed frightened by what he had come to realize.

"Are you dead, Quick?" She nodded. Mirage was shocked

"How?" "Megatron, I revealed myself to help Optimus. Megatron didn't take it nicely." Mirage looked furious.

"When?"

"Only a little bit ago." Mirage's head snapped up so fast. Quickstrike was about to say something when they both jumped, felling a pulse go through them. Quick smiled

"I believe we are going back, Ratchet is far too stubborn to let me slip through his fingers." Mirage chuckled happy that his love was being brought back to life.

"Jolt is pumping electricity through me, I must have been offlining." They both smiled at each other. Just before they faded completely Quick decided to drop the bomb on him.

"I love you Mirage." Then she disappeared he was shocked.

Mirage jolted awake to see a group of worried medics surrounding him including Jolt. When they questioned him about what happened he said he would tell jolt. Jolt immediately knew it was about Quickstrike and he shooed them out.

"What happened?"

"Quick died-" Jolt screeched before he had time to finish what he was saying.

"WHAT!?" Mirage decided to shut his friend up before he alerted everyone.

"Let me finish, JOLT!" he yelled the last part because his friend was running around, Jolt stopped and listened. Mirage told him of what happened but left out the last bit.

"Then she faded and I woke up here." Mirage then remembered what she had said before she disappeared and he smiled a true smile. Jolt was happy, he had not seen one of mirages true smiles since Quick left.

"What has you so happy my friend?" Mirage smirked and turned to Jolt

"She said… *Jolt was hanging on every word* Mind your own business." Jolt visibly slumped he then glared at the laughing Mirage. "you'll find out soon."

*With Quick*

She just had to she couldn't hide it anymore. "I love you Mirage."

Then she woke with a harsh jolt. She was immediately reminded of Shockwave and sprung up and attacked the mech who was closest thinking it was Shockwave.

"Get away from me Shockwave!" she struggled as she was being held down.

"Quickstrike, it's not Shockwave, its Prime." Quick stopped struggling

"Prime?"

"yes." Quick on-lined her optics and took in what was happening. She saw that she had punched Ratchet.

"Sorry Ratchet. I thought you were shockwave." Suspicion and fear crept into the sparks of the mech thinking about the con she had named.

"No need to worry about telling Mirage now." Quick heard from Ironhide. Quick laughed and with the last of her energy she spoke "he already knows Ironhide." Hide went rigid

"Ah, frag." Quick slips into recharge. (btw they were in Hoover damn). The bots are confused at her because she used to be so emotionless but that has lessened. Their optics switched over to the sparklings that were now happy.

~flashback~

As they were getting ready to move out, the sparklings came rushing out and come to a halt seeing the mechs, who were staring in shock. The oldest sparkling Safespot sees Quickstrike and rushes over to her, which alerts the rest of the sparklings. They all pounce on top of her now dead body and screech in cybertronian for their mother. The mechs who were extremely shocked and confused tell them that they were going to try and awaken her in a safe place. Jazz thinks back on Megatron's words and fears the worse but keeps quiet about it, waiting until he can prove it.

~end flashback~

When Quickstrike wakes she on-lines her optics to see her sparklings sleeping on top of her and around her. They see when she wakes and tackle her scolding and saying how much she was missed in those few hours. Ratchet appears and sees her online then tells prime. All the autobots and humans go to the meeting room and Quick explains her story from when she saved Bumblebee, who looked embarrassed at her words of saving him and of her congratulating him for doing something so hard and being able to stand up to Megatron.

She explained what happened between her and Megatron when they were coming over earth, the bots were highly angry at Megatron's actions but when she said she shot him which caused him to plummet to the arctic circle where he went into stasis they were a bit more smug that she had done that. She told them she knew of sam because when she saw his ancestor she had a vision of him putting the cube in Megatron's chest.

She explained that she had come online 17 years ago with the All-Spark's help and that Megatron had shot out her pod format so she couldn't get back out to space. She told them of her and the sparklings, to which relieved the heavy weight on Jazz's spark as he found they were not Megatron's sparklings. They had no relation to Megatron at all. Sam was surprised when she told them she watched over Sam until he was 11 and then she showed her holoform and Sam fell over to see the woman who had taught him how to stand up to bullies. He laughed loudly while everyone else was confused save Quickstrike who knew exactly why he was laughing. She moved on to saying she had left one of the sparklings safespot at Sam's house and he had watched over Sam. Safespot went up to Sam and hugged him. She moved on to saying that after she had heard Bumblebee was on earth and that there were a few Decepticons on earth she had gotten caught by sector 7 and frozen again but she had all her systems on. She explained that when Bumblebee had arrived she was getting ready to get out of the ice. The she finished up telling them of what happened after they left to mission city up until they saw her get hit on top of the building.

She finally got what she was striving for her whole life. The autobot insignia. She decided to Keep her but update the minor things such as the inside and things that she requires. Becomes custom car.

OP's message out into space includes an old ally has joined us here on earth and she is helping with what we are doing. (something along those lines)

Story 3

1 year after defeat of Megatron.

Mirage and Jolt were arriving on earth, the were the first arrivals since Optimus and his team. Quick stayed back as the six comets crashed. She knew that they would recognise her and not in a good way. As the pods unfolded she could see who the others were. There was Jolt, Mirage, Skids, mudflap and Sides and Sunny. Quick got into an unseeable defensive stance as she knew they would attack her as soon as they saw her. Optimus walked forward to the new arrivals. As did Ratchet to make sure they weren't injured.

"Ratchet!" the older twins yelled happily. Ratchet groan and started cursing them. This made Quick laugh, giving away her position. Four of the arrivals got into a defensive stance while the other two sighed in relief. Skids and mudflap started screaming that they were going to die. Mirage ran in front of them towards Quick. Many thought that he was attacking her. However when Mirage got close to her she ran towards him. They met with a crash and a tight hug in the middle that had many falling over in surprise, especially the two sets of twins. When the older twins looked to Optimus to see his reaction they nearly fell over again. He and the rest of the first landing party were smiling.

Optimus watched as two of his friends and most trusted allies met up again after so long. He was pulled out of his stupor as he heard them begin to talk. "is this what he did to you?" Mirage asked angrily as he spotted the three permentant scars on her faceplates from Megatron's backhand.

"I shot him, which made him in turn backhand me." Mirage looked furious. Quickstrike let her mask down for a minute and smiled softly at Mirage

"he is gone now. He cant hurt me or anyone else anymore." Mirage clamed down and Quickstrike's mask went back up.

"What was it you said to me before you vanished?" Mirage said with a smile. Quickstrike saw this as a way to get out of the tense atmosphere. Jolt listened carefully as he had been begging to know for a year. "I said, none of your business." Jolt fell over and Quick and Mirage laughed. "How the hell? You both said the same thing. You know that isn't fair. I've been wanting to know." Jolt pouted. By now the twins were lost. What the pit? Was pretty much the look on their faces.

"I said, I love you Mirage." The twins literally glitched even Ironhide and Jazz were shocked. Jolt fell over again. But when he got up he was grinning. "…and Mirage was smiling for a whole month after that incident."

She looked at the sheepish bot. "well at least I know what my words can achieve." "You didn't let me respond before you vanished. I was going to say, I love you too." The twins wake "are we missing something here?! Why in the pit are we standing near that con, not doing anything?" Sunstreaker asked confused. Optimus takes everyone back to base after getting alt modes and explains there.

Sunny and Sides were still a bit weary, and skids and Mudflap were terrified of the legendary emotionless Con, able to go up against the toughest Autobots and cons. Mirage and Quick never left each other alone entire trip back to base. At base Optimus fills in both sets of twins of who Quickstrike is. they are still anxious about Quick but will come to accept her. Cons attack base and all humans finally see her fight against the ones she had sworn to destry and her brutality, they had only seen her half-heartedly fight with the autobots. Her response is that she was a Decepticon for the most of the war. She reveals to humans after that she was never even a full autobot, because when she was signing up she was made to be the spy because of her abilities.

Mirage and Quickstrike were always together from that moment on. When someone was looking for one of them, they would find the other there too.

At the next approach by other Autobots only a week later, they had found out there were four decepticons trailing after them in pursuit. Therefore Quickstrike had to be there as defence. When the femmes; Elita-1, Arcee, Chromia, Moonracer and Flareup, landed the Decepticons had already gotten out of the pod form and started attacking. Quickstrike moved into her attacking stance and leapt onto the nearest Decepticon which happened to be Dirge, the con that had shot Mirage and Quickstrike down the cliff upon their first meeting.

She should have been thanking him but all she could think was that this was the Decepticon that had damaged Mirage and it had nearly off-lined him. She flung herself from the autobot ranks, she heard the cries of the femmes about her but she ignored them and had optics for dirge only. As she slammed into him, he seemed to realised who she was and he growled.

"Well, well, if it isn't the Decepticon traitor." She heard the gasps of the femmes but again ignored them.

"How can I be a traitor if I was never on your side to begin with." She smiled cruelly as realisation dawned in his optics.

"You were a spy. From the beginning it was you."

"congratulations, you're not as dumb as you seem." Dirge yelled out in anger and attacked with more viciousness. Quickstrike merely dodged the attacks for they were fuel with rage and no though, so she simply slipped her swords under his guards and through his spark chamber.

Mirage noticed one of the other Decepticons coming up behind his love. He flung his sword at the mech at the same time as Quickstrike threw out her arm and her fist connected with his face, they sandwiched the mech in between themselves. Mirage chuckled as the other Autobots finished off their opponents.

Quickstrike was distracted and didn't see Dirge's last action which was thrusting his blade into Quickstrike. Mirage saw as he raised his blade but couldn't move quick enough to get there to stop him, he called out in warning but, it was still not enough. Quickstrike gasped as the blade went into her chest. Mirage's warning had allowed her to move just far enough that Dirge's blade missed the intended target of Quickstrike's spark. It slid all the way through like Megatron's claws had.

Even if it had been a year, she could still feel the phantom pain. The blade was just enough to send her over the edge. She went into emergency stasis from the blast of pain, phantom and real.

Mirage had come upon his love and caught her just before she crashed into the ground; she was already offline by that point though. "Ratchet!" Mirage called in panic. Ratchet sped over and saw that it missed her spark chamber. He spoke as he worked "It missed her spark chamber only just, your warning must have allowed her to move those vital few centimetres. I believe it was the phantom pain from last year that caused her to go into stasis, she has been in the med-bay a few times thanks to it. I thought it had gone through, but with her you never know." Ratchet was beginning to patch up Quickstrike as he was rambling on, trying to distract Mirage.

The femmes were in a state of confusion. They were still taking in the information they had receive from the two as they battled. Arcee noticed as Mirage clenched a servo to his spark and his optics began to dim. He collapsed "Mirage!" she cried and eyes snapped to the bot that was in pain and offline. "FRAG!" Ratchet yelled. "We have to get the both back to base, I can't do anything out here."

Back at Base Jolt was alerted to Mirage collapsing after Quickstrike had. Jolt remembered what happened last time and just about screamed at them to get the bots to the med-bay and to prepared just in case they began to offline. Jolt explained to Ratchet that when Quickstrike died Mirage had almost gone with her.

"I thought that only happened to spark-mates, surely they can't have, not back then, it would have been too dangerous and they knew it." Ratchet said as he repaired Quickstrike leaving Jolt to watch over Mirage.

"I don't know what's going on. We'll have to ask when they come back to us."

Outside the med-bay in the main hanger, the Autobots were having their own conversation. On the way to the base, Optimus has informed them about Quickstrike. "I didn't see Mirage get hit by anything, he just grabbed at his spark and collapsed." Arcee said, this silence the mechs, "You don't think they are sparkmates?" Ironhide asked. Optimus shook his head "No, it would have been way to dangerous back then and they wouldn't have wanted to risk her life."

The femmes were beginning to get it. "Is Quickstrike together with Mirage?" Elita-1 asked. Jazz was the one to answer,

"Yeah, after they met that first time back on Cybertron, he was the one who wanted to get all the messages if he could, just to be with her. We were afraid it would be best as they could get away with saying more than if she was fighting with us, because eyes would have been turned to our battles, theirs not so much. Her mask even started to crack."

Ironhide spoke up "yeah, and when he found out that she followed Megatron to earth after the All-Spark he went nuts, if you can remember that. Ratchet had to sedate him."

Bumblebee chose to add his own input "When she fixed my neck cables after Megatron damaged them, her message included telling Mirage not to offline."

Chromia smirked. "Well, I'd say they were Promised Ones." The hanger went silent. All bots turned to Chromia. "Promised Ones? That is extremely rare." Sideswipe spoke up. The humans in the hanger were puzzled. "What are Promised Ones?" Sam asked,

Optimus spoke "They are Cybertronians who have been , as it states, promised to each other. It is like your version of soulmates. Primus has chosen those two to be together. We don't know how it happens, but they are connected like sparkmates even if they aren't" yet was the word the Autobots added in their minds, as they waited for news on the two Cybertronians.

~Med-bay~

Ratchet and Jolt were working double time as nothing seemed to be working. Jolt had to pump electricity into them to make sure they stayed online.

~Mirage and Quickstrike~

Both woke up in sandy place again. Quickstrike and Mirage sat in silence, until Quickstrike spoke up.

"why are you here with me? You didn't get hit, did you?" Mirage shook his head.

"I don't know, it happened last time as well."

Quickstrike heard the ting of sand on metal and she spun around to see who it was. A large mech was approaching the two, he was bigger than Optimus and Megatron. Mirage and Quickstrike went quickly in defensive stances.

"Who are you?" Mirage questioned. The figure smiled.

"I am Primus." Quickstrike and Mirage were both shocked.

"Primus, but…" Quickstrike couldn't come up with anything. Primus laughed.

"I have hoped not to see you two here so soon again. But I took the opportunity of your stasis to bring you. I'm sure your medics wont let you die." He said with sadness.

"Perhaps you can explain why we are both here after Quickstrike was hit. We aren't sparkmates." Yet was the silent word added in the three's mind. Unknowingly at the same time as Optimus' group.

"Of course, I have made you two Promised Ones."

Dead silence rang around the desert. Quickstrike spoke with happiness.

"We are Promised Ones?" Primus chuckled and nodded.

"Why are we hear, I wasn't struck in the spark chamber?" Primus sighed and turned serious.

"I needed to speak to you two. I need you both to go back to Cybertron."

"But, why?" Asked Mirage.

"The femmes and Sparklings hiding place is about to be discovered and they will be slaughtered."

"We must get back immediately!" Quickstrike said with urgency.

"You need to take the sparklings back with you as well. They need the proper care they cannot get on earth. You have taken care of them extremely well but, they need Cybertron." Primus stated

Quickstrike nodded "I know. I would have sent them sooner but they were helping us up until a week ago. I will go back and take the sparklings with me." Mirage came and stood next to her. "I will go as well. I hate the thought of the femmes and sparklings dying."

Primus smiled at the two. "I know I made an excellent choice with you two. I don't really want to see you two here again so soon please." Primus vanished and the two began to fade.

~med-bay~

The two shot up as Jolt gave them one last pump of electricity. "OPTIMUS!" they both screamed. Ratchet was trying to get them to lie down but the two were struggling to get up. "we must talk to Optimus. It is incredibly urgent and there is no time to waste! The decepticons are about to find the femmes and sparklings!"

~Main Hanger~

The Autobots were chatting when "OPTIMUS!" was heard from the med-bay by the two they were talking about. "Get the Frag in here Optimus!" was heard next by Ratchet. Optimus jumped slightly but went running to the med-bay to see what made his two trusted warriors to scream out his name and made Ratchet summon him so urgently.

When he ran through the doors to the med-bay, he saw them struggling with Ratchet and Jolt. As soon as they spotted him they began to talk. "Primus said that the femmes and sparklings are about to be found! We must get back to Cybertron!" Quickstrike spoke.

Optimus was startled, they had spoken to Primus. The gravity of the situation hit him.

"alright, we will get everything prepared while Ratchet and Jolt fix you up." He turned to walk out to prepare everything but was stopped by Mirage.

"You must get the sparklings ready as well. They must come with us." Optimus wanted to question but he knew they were wasting time. So he nodded and left. Ratchet would get it out of them as he fixed the two.

~out of med-bay~

When Optimus came jogging around into the main hanger. The bots knew something was bad by the look on his face.

"whats happened?" Elita-1 asked her sparkmate. Optimus continued but spoke on their

*The Decepticons are going after the femmes and sparklings back on Cybertron. Primus has warned us. Mirage and Quickstrike are going there with the sparklings that are here*

There were audible gasps from the cybertronians in the hanger.

*I need someone to gather the sparklings whilst I get them ready to depart for Cybertron.*

"I'll do it." It was sideswipe that spoke. Optimus simply nodded and walked out of the hanger.

Sideswipe left to gather the sparklings.

~After the two were fixed and ready to go~

"we will come back when everything is safe again." Quickstrike said as she loaded her holds with sparklings, Mirage doing the same. The older sparklings could travel by themselves but to save time they were going in the holds.

"Be careful." Jazz said to the two.

"we will Jazz." Quickstrike said as the last sparkling was loaded.

They transformed into pod form and shot into the sky with their boosters.

~one month of space travel and they arrived on Cybertron~

Quickstrike looked on their dead home. She caught a transmission coming from one of the Autobot bases.

*This is Autobot Blaster, state designation.* Quickstrike commed mirage.

*Blaster is asking for designation. He doesn't know about me, you need to answer*

*Alright* Mirage prepared for transmission to blaster *This is Autobot Mirage. We come with urgent news. Gather Ultra Magnus for when we land. We are going to need his help.*

If blaster was confused he didn't say anything. *Request and designation received. Magnus will be there when you land. Designation of the one with you is needed though*

Mirage and Quickstrike cursed *that is classified, which is why we need Magnus*

*Confirmed*

Mirage and Quickstrike breathed relieved sighs. *Get ready for hostile activity once they see me.* Quickstrike warned Mirage.

He didn't like it but prepared anyway.

Since they were in pod form the only thing showing their faction was the symbol. She had the Autobot symbol but they knew what she looked like and so would attack if they knew.

When they landed Mirage untransformed first and made sure Magnus was there.

When he spotted Magnus he called over to him. "She is here with me Magnus."

Magnus got the message and told his soldiers to stand down and not to raise their firearms.

Magnus looked over at the pod that was Quickstrike.

"Open up. Quickstrike" the name spread panic among the Autobots present but they respected their leader and stood down.

Quickstrike untransformed and went into her car mode instead of flight, then transformed into her bipedal. She could see the Autobots wanting to run in fear but they stopped when they saw her optics.

"Autobot spy, Quickstrike reporting for duty Ultra Magnus, sir. We come with great warning from Primus himself." Magnus looked shocked by he knew it was important.

"Report." Quickstrike did so. She told him about Primus' warning. As soon as she finished Magnus ordered them to begin moving the femmes and sparklings. "there is something else sir." Mirage said.

Optics turned back to the two as they glanced at each other and nodded. Both opened their holds and the sparklings clambered out. All optics widened in shock.

"these are sparklings that the All-Spark created on earth. They have been trained to survive. They were brought by order of Primus." Magnus ordered one of the bots Hound to get them into a safe place for the moment.

~later~

The femmes and sparklings were going to be moved to a different planet for safety. Quickstrike was regarded with suspicion and anxiousness for the duration of her stay at the Autobot base. Mirage was always with her as well. It was only after the first wave of Decepticons went to attack the femmes that the Autobots began to warm up to her.

Flashback

She was getting the femmes out of there when the first wave struck. She shouted warning to the other Autobots but she wouldn't have time to wait for them. Ordering the femmes and sparklings to run she told her bunch to protect them as best they could.

She transformed into her areal mode that all were used to seeing her in. she attacked the Decepticons protecting the other femmes whist doing so.

She and mirage (he was invisible but Quickstrike can see him if you remember) were taking down so many of the Decepticon that the Autobots were shocked. They had never seen her fight to her fullest so they were extremely glad she was on their side.

Magnus watched and grinned. He could see that Mirage never left Quickstrike and Quickstrike never left Mirage. They were acting like sparkmates.

When the battle was over and the Decepticons retreated and the femmes and sparklings moving towards the new planet (they were in ships), Magnus went over to the two (mirage became visible after the fight was over) and spoke "So when did you two become sparkmates?" he noticed with glee both almost tripped. "We aren't sparkmates yet, Magnus." Quickstrike said with a sweat-drop. "Yet, huh?" Magnus said slyly. "er, we are promised ones, according to Primus." Mirage said. "well, nice to know. I was going to separate you two but I think it would be better to remain together. You two took out most of that wave."

Quickstrike and Mirage sighed in relief. "Thank you." "no problem." Replied Magnus as he went back to his post.

After the femmes were moved to a safe location and the Decepticons didn't know where they were.

The next wave was bigger as the Decepticons knew she was there. Quickstrike had been put with the wreckers. They did not fully trust her even if she was an Autobot spy, they said she could be a double agent. Mirage has found in her defence, but when Quickstrike finally spoke up she silenced them. "I was the one who brought information about everything, The femmes were safe because of me, you knew Megatron's plans for the All-Spark because of me, Optimus knew where to go for the All-Spark thanks to me. Sure those can be put into words that it was a trap or to give you a false sense of security, but if that were the case would I have gone out of my way to change mode and go around under the name of Illusion, or betray my intended." They were quiet but didn't fully believe her yet. Muttering about being stabbed in the back.

As the wave struck, she was separated from the wreckers and Mirage. She noticed the Decepticons were trying to separate her from the rest but it wasn't going to work. Taking down some, she made her way back to the others. As she got there, she found the wreckers were about to be killed by a shot from a few Decepticons. She fire up her rarly used cannons and blasted them before they could do anything. She saw as the wreckers were hit from another source and they went down, injured but still online. She ran infront of a shot being fired at Leadfoot and pushed it away just before it hit him. She continued to defend the wreckers and shoot the Decepticons but they were all ganging up on her, so she had a hard time. However she never left the wreckers to their amasement, if they began herding her and placing most of themselves in between her and the wreckers, she would barge through them and defend the wreckers again. The wreckers were amazed for one, she took down so many Decepticons and took tones of hits so that she could defend them. Once the Decepticons retreated, she collapsed from exhaustion. The wreckers got over to her as fast as they could. Before she off-lined from exhaustion she told them one last detail from their earlier argument. "I take care of my comrades. Decepticons do not." And with that she fell into recharge. The wreckers were fully amazed and decided that she was a wrecker at spark. Mirage came over from where he had to help another group and smiled at his intended. He grinned at Leadfoot's next words. "If you harm her in any way, you will be dealing with us wreckers." Oh how easily she could turn the toughest Autobot group from threatening her, to threatening others for her.

In another one of the waves, there was a massive amount of Decepticons and they became slightly afraid they would lose each other. So they became sparkmates

It had been almost a year since they left earth and two months since they became sparkmates.

Quickstrike and Mirage knew it was time to go. Quickstrike's sparklings were sad to see what they labelled their femme and mech creator leaving but they knew it had to happen.

Mirage and Quickstrike told Magnus that they would be heading back to earth the next day.

That night they were summoned by Primus. "Good work. The femmes will be safe for quite a while."

"Its thanks to you Primus. If you hadn't warned us. We would have lost all the femmes."

"Yes well it was you who moved them. Now it is time for you to head back to earth. I know you are leaving tomorrow but when you get to earth, you need to land in a place called shanghai in china. You need to be prepared for battle as soon as you land."

The two nodded. "the All-Spark is going to be reborn soon. I do not know where exactly yet as I am still thinking. But it is going to have a living consciousness so that it cannot be used as the cube was."

"Alright Primus. I believe it is time for us to leave. And thanks for not killing us this time we have spoken." Quickstrike said.

"that's alright. Off you go."

The two woke up and got ready to go. Quickstrike during this time was integrated into the Autobot forces they trusted her and thanked her for her risky mission as spy.

Leaving for earth was different as since they were sparkmates they could be in constant company with each other even when they recharged or flew in silence.

Story 4

(second movie)

Coming upon earth they made their trajectory head for shanghai.

Coming upon shanghai they realised what primus wanted them there for. A massive decepticon was going through the city and the Autobots were unable to defeat it. On the fly Quickstrike and Mirage changed into their bi-pedal modes and slammed into the Decepticon causing him to go down and slip under a building.

~Autobots~

Optimus was having a bit of trouble as the massive Decepticon was going through the city. He was startled as two some things slammed right into the Decepticon he was trying to defeat. As the Decepticon slipped under the building. He looked to see what slammed into the Decepticon.

The Autobots had come in to see what happened when everyone saw Quickstrike and Mirage stand up with slight damage to their forms.

"Never doing that again. Coming straight from space and smashing into Decepticon. Is a no." Mirage stated as he was steaming from the heat of his incoming.

"hear hear." Groaned Quickstrike, they got up and walked over to the downed Decepticon. Lennox and his team following.

"This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen will rise again." Quickstrike had fear shooting up her spine, and as Mirage was her spark-mate, he felt the fear she was feeling.

"that doesn't sound good." Epps stated with his voice full of worry.

"It's not." Quickstrike said quickly. "not today." Optimus growled out as he shot and off-lined the Decepticon.

Heading back to the base with the two Autobots were exciting to say the least. They were happy to see Quickstrike and Mirage back from Cybertron.

"The femmes and Sparklings are in a safe location. Primus said that they wouldn't be found for quite some time. He was also the one to tell us where to land."

Quickstrike and Mirage were updated on what had happened since they left earth.

When at base, they were told to go to a meeting. Optimus was talking to general morshower. A human general that Quickstrike had great respect for. When Prime was asked what's the fallen, Quickstrike spoke up.

"the fallen is an enemy of the first Primes." The room went silent when she spoke. The Autobots knew she had information on him since she was Megatrons most trusted. "I do not know much about him because he was only mention to me when Megatron went off to meet with him. More history was recorded into the cube, but it was lost with the All-Spark's destruction."

Prime went to speak again, but was rudely interrupted by a pompous voice from on the ground. "Excuse me, with this so called All-Spark destroyed. Why hasn't the enemy left the planet, like you said they would?"

Quickstrike growled at the man for interrupting the Prime. She smirked when Major Lennox introduced him with an eyeroll and at Morshowers response of not getting the memo.

"forgive the interruption, general." Mirage almost laughed when the people on the platform, didn't really want to get out of his way as he was heading up to Lennox.

"After the damage to shanghai, the president is hard pressed to say the job's getting done."

He and Lennox glared slightly at each other before Galloway turned to Optimus and Quickstrike, who had moved next to him as she was talking.

"under the classified alien Autobot co-operation act, you agreed to share your Intel with us, but not your advancements in weaponry."

"It would absolutely do more harm than good." Optimus said in finality. Galloway ignored Primes tone and continued.

"Who are you to say what is best for us?" Quickstrike had enough of this man. Lennox beat her to it.

"with all due respect, we have been fighting side by side for two years." As Galloway looked like he was going to say something, Epps spoke up.

"we've shed blood sweat and precious metal together."

"soldier, your paid to shoot not talk." Galloway said. Epps mumbled about not tempting him. Quickstrike spoke now.

"what happened to freedom of speech, liaison. You are like Megatron with your not abiding by your own rules. He never went by them."

Galloway glared at her. "what would you know?" Quickstrike grinned evilly to unnerve him. It worked. "I was a decepticon for the war; I know a lot of things."

That made Galloway back away from her and back to Optimus.

"I am to understand the new members of your team arrived here after you sent a message into space saying come to earth, that was not vetted by anyone at the white house."

Morshower spoke up now. "Let me stop you right there. It was vetted right here and the decisions of Major Lennox's team has always been above reproach."

"when it is the position of the president, and when our national security is at stake, no one is above reproach."

She had to chuckle as she saw Morshower give someone next to him a look saying 'Is this guy for real?'

*this man is annoying me* she sent to Mirage. He chuckled softly so said man didn't hear

"What do we know, we know that the enemy leader, NBE-1 Aka Megatron is resting at the bottom of the laurientian abyss, and that the remaining shard of the All-Spark is hidden in a maximum level security location on the island. And since on one can seem to tell me what they are after, there is only one clear conclusion. You the Autobots. They are here to hunt you. What more is there to hunt on earth besides that. The fallen, shall rise again. It sound like something's coming."

Quickstrike was about to speak of what could be hunted on earth, but a look from Prime silenced her.

"So let me ask, if we ultimately conclude that our national security is best served by denying you further asylum in on our planet. Will you leave peacefully?"

*no, we cannot, Primus wants us here!* Quickstrike sent to Prime.

"freedom is your right, if that is what your government decides then we will leave. But before your president makes any decisions ask him this. What if we leave and you are wrong." Galloway looked smug for a minute but the turned taken aback.

"That's a good question." Lennox said. The director grumbled but kept quiet for the rest of the meeting. As it was adjourned, Quickstrike and Mirage spoke softly, "Primus said that the All-Spark would be reborn, but if we leave and the Decepticons come here and get it, hope will be lost. All this work will be for nothing." Quickstrike was slightly afraid that she would have to be parted from Mirage, as she fully knew she would not leave earth even if the government decided it.

"you are with the Autobots now, I will always be with you." Mirage said. Quickstrike smiled.

Galloway strolled up to Quickstrike who shifted and looked down at him. "You where the enemy were you? What if you decide to go back to the enemies side. You will kill everyone here, you know where everything is. You are probably their spy." He said smugly and striking a cord in Quickstrike.

Furious optics from all the Autobots and humans that knew Quickstrike, turned to the pompous man. Mirage was infuriated, "Do not speak to my Spark-mate like that again human. You need to know your facts, Quickstrike was and always has been an Autobot. She was in the Decepticon ranks as a spy for us. Know your place and watch your mouth."

With that said Mirage and Quickstrike turned and left the hanger. Lennox watched as the Autobots wanted to make mincemeat out of the man but spoke up before they could. "Director Galloway, it would be best if you did not speak of the Autobots in that way, otherwise we don't know what would happen." Optimus comm'd his team. *Autobots, it appears that Quickstrike and Mirage have become sparkmates. You know what that means*

"Never insult a spark-mated bot, it will only end in needing to go to the med-bay in a hurry." Sideswipe said to the humans, who looked clueless at why Mirage blew up so much. Unfortunately Galloway had left when Quickstrike and Mirage did so he did not hear the warning.

Quickstrike and Mirage were out chilling, when Bumblebee drove over the aircraft carrier that had just landed. He drove out and transformed. The other Autobots came out to see their youngest team member. "I though, you were going with sam?" Jazz asked, Bumblebee shrugged.

Quickstrike knew something was wrong, so when the other Autobots left Quickstrike and Mirage walked up to Bumblebee. He looked surprised to see them. "when did you two get back?" he asked.

Mirage put his arm on the scouts shoulder, "we arrived in shanghai, in the middle of the battle."

Bumblebee laughed, Quickstrike still saw the sadness in his optics. "whats wrong Bumblebee? Please tell me." She asked softly. Bumblebee looked surprised, "what happened to monotone?" Quickstrike chuckled "I cannot remain monotone any more, not now that I have a spark-mate. As well as I didn't really have a choice with the other Autobots, they are too full of emotion to remain that way. Now don't skirt around the subject."

Bumblebee sighed, "freshman can't have cars, he told me my guardian duties are over." Quickstrike straightened up at this. "oh no, they are not. I have to speak to Optimus, Mirage, can you stay here and tell Bumblebee of what he has missed since we left?" Mirage nodded and pulled Bee into the hanger to talk.

Quickstrike walked up to Optimus who was chatting with Lennox and Epps. "Prime, sir." Optimus turned to her, "yes, Quickstrike?" "I would like to have permission to go on an undercover mission." Prime went silent. "what sort of mission?" he was thinking of the Decepticons. "I wish to go undercover for the protection of Sam. I have a bad feeling and Bee is not there to take care of him."

"what about Mirage?" Quickstrike hesitated but her feelings gave way in the end. "I would like Mirage to come with me, as we are the only ones equipped with a holoform, we can blend in better. It will be me with sam and Mirage on scouting." Optimus thought it over.

"Alright, you may. Report if there is anything big." "yes sir."

Quickstrike left Prime and headed out to find Mirage and Bumblebee to tell them.

As Quickstrike and Mirage pulled into the college grounds, they spotted sam about to walk into the dorm buildings. She parked herself next to Ron's car and activated her holoform. She got out of the car and walked behind sam who didn't even notice she was following him.

She had scanned earlier and found a pretender and cursed, she messaged Mirage that they already made their move and that she was going in and for him to stay there.

When he stepped into his room, she remained outside the door and listened into their conversation. She had to laugh lightly when they did the interrogation of each other. When she heard they were heading into a different room she walked inside and behind Sam. She hid in the way only she could and watched. She saw them show Sam the shanghai video of two things coming out of the sky and slamming into the Decepticon, which could only be seen as a building. She chuckled and crept up behind Sam as he was watching it.

"it looks like they got me and Mirage coming back to earth." She whispered in his ear and laughed as he screeched like a little girl. "damn it don't do that!" Sam shouted at her. She laughed at his face. She heard a small whisper from one of the techies *Coughnerdscough* "Dude there is a really hot girl in here." "Sorry boys I'm taken for life." Sam just groaned and walked outside asking to change rooms. Quick just laughed and said goodbye to Sam.

~Sam~

He watched as Quickstrike left. The main thing he was wondering was what she was doing there. He saw his Parents coming and groaned. When they got outside he saw a Red Ferrari and Silver Honda NSX NA1 sitting innocently next to his parents car.

~Quickstrike and Mirage~

It was defiantly a pretender. But they wouldn't be able to know unless they got close. But there were so many people at once they didn't know who it was.

So many people crowded around their car modes.

*Quickstrike to Optimus*

*go ahead Quickstrike*

*There is a pretender here. Mirage and I will integrate ourselves and try to find location.*

*good work, look after Sam*

*that is why we are here Optimus. Quickstrike out*

That night there was a party that sam was going to. Quick and Mirage pulled in and exited their cars. Eyes turned to the two incredibly hot looking couple.

~Sam~

Sam watched as people stared at two people getting out of really hot cars. Sam groaned, he knew it was Quickstrike and Mirage. He just wanted to be normal and not babied by the Autobots.

~Quickstrike~

She saw sam's roommate's jaw drop at who she was with. Her sensor went of telling her the pretender was in the room. Looking around she saw sam and both Autobots went over to him.

"sam, I know you do not want to be babied by the Autobots and you want to be a normal kid once again." Sam was shocked and Quickstrike giggled "I have been looking after you since you were born, I know everything about you." Mirage chuckled at Sams face. Before she could talk to Sam more someone interrupted.

"Who here owns the yellow Camaro." Sam jumped up and ran out of the room to where they guessed Bumblebee was.

*Optimus wants you to meet him at the grave yard*

Mirage and Quickstrike ran out of the room, and passed sam talking to his roommate. They sensed the pretender close by but there were still to many people.

Getting into themselves, the two tore out of the college. The went straight to Optimus. They waited until Sam got there before they started talking.

Being told the All-Spark shard was stolen by Decepticons Quickstrike knew they were going to revive Megatron. She would now pay the price of her mission, she just knew it.

Sam denying the Autobots struck something inside Quickstrike but she hid it from everyone present, she knew something bad was going to happen to make sam take back those statements.

Back at college, Quickstrike and Mirage were dismissed by Sam, so they went around the city scouting for Decepticons.

That night only Quickstrike had a dream from Primus. "You know what's going to happen now Megatron is back." Primus said

Quickstrike nodded sadly. "he is going to kill me for being an enemy the whole time."

There was a few minutes of silence. "I don't want Mirage to die. Is there a way this could not affect my spark-mate?" Primus looked thoughtful but nodded

"you need to close off the bond. Now that you have spark-mated, it is by that bond you connect. If it is shut off, it won't affect him." Quickstrike smiled sadly.

"I will be getting you back somehow though. My child." Primus said smugly. Quickstrike laughed "You defiantly do that. I don't mean to be disrespectful but why do you-"

"why do I put myself in your life so much?" Primus cut her off. Quickstrike nodded

"you are my child. I do occasionally put myself on Cybertron and live there for a while. Last time I was, I had you." Quickstrike was shocked. "is that the reason I could communicate with the All-Spark?"

Primus nodded.

"well, I will see you again when I die. Again, I guess." Primus chuckled.

Quickstrike woke up feeling sad that she was going to had to leave mirage.

They drove around the city looking for Decepticons when they came across Mikaela holding a metal box with a Decepticon in it.

"why have you got a Decepticon in a box?" Mirage questioned her. She jumped and spun around seeing the two cars with Autobot insignias. "He was after something I had. Sam called me saying he was going crazy seeing symbols after touching an All-Spark fragment he had in his jacket." Quickstrike told her to get in and they drove back to the college. Their sensors picked up Decepticon activity so they left Mikaela at the college.

When she got near to where the Decepticon activity was, she saw a car with Mikaela sam and Leo in it being dropped into a building. Both Autobots kicked up their speed, passed what a human car should be able to, but they were still a ways away.

Quick noticed she was a head of Optimus as he too knew what was going on. She scanned and it told her that Megatron was inside. She shut off her bond with mirage and slammed through the roof of the building the Decepticons were. Megatron looked up and saw who it was. "Quickstrike!" Mirage flung himself in through the side. During the fight the human teenagers ran outside to hide. Optimus came in next and protected the kids from the other Decepticons while megatron and Quickstrike got outside battling. She ordered him to get the other Autobots who were on their way.

It was in a forresty area. Megatron and Quickstrike fought. When it seemed Quick was getting the best of him, He ordered his other Decepticons to gang up on her. She slammed the bond between her and mirage shut, it had opened as she was telling him to get the others, as she saw out of the corner of her eye, a Decepticon larger than Optimus coming up behind her. Unfortunately she couldn't move in time and he snagged her body and tore it in two.

Optimus arrived to help her and saw what the Decepticon had done. He yelled in rage and attacked the Decepticon. He tore the Decepticons face in half like what he did to Quickstrike. However he remembered sam and Megatron and was slightly distracted looking for the boy he was protecting. He did not see Megatron coming up behind him until there was a sword sticking out his front, Megatron then blasted him in the spark.

He told Sam who was standing there looking shocked and upset to run.

When the other Autobots got there, Ratchet yelled at Bumblebee to get the kids out of there. He did so. The Decepticons fled after realising they were outnumbered by the Autobots.

When it was all quite the Autobots saw Optimus' body. They cried out at their leader's death. Mirage looked around for his sparkmate and what he saw made him cry the most despairing sound the other bots had ever heard. The Autobots saw what he was looking at and their sparks went even colder than they had at prime's defeat.

Quickstrike was torn in half. "Oh, Primus." Ironhide said. Jazz knelt beside her upper half and saw something impossible. "Ratchet, she is still alive!"

Mirage shot up from where he fell to his knees on the ground and went over to her. Ratchet looked over her and tried his best to save her but nothing he did would help.

"I knew this would happen." Her words silenced the mechs.

"I made sure, to ask primus how to keep you alive, so that when I came back, you would still be there." Mirage had energon tears streaming down his face plates.

"I love you Mirage, never forget that. I will be with father now. I can see him. He is saying it will be alright. I am coming Primus," she choked on a laugh, "father." She looked dead at Mirage and smiled, before the light in her optics and Spark died.

Mirage cried out in pain. The mechs had to hold back their tears, but the loss of their leader and best warrior hit them hard.

Ironhide contacted Lennox.

"This is lennox."

"Optimus and Quickstrike are dead. Head back to base"

He then cut off contact.

On the plane back to base it was dead silent until surprisingly it was Mirage who broke it.

"How come, I am still here." Ironhide answered.

"She blocked off the bond."

There was a painful silence until they touched down at an airbase. As they were unloading Optimus' body, Elita-1 came dashing out of the base with a loud cry. All Autobots lowered their heads. The plane then dropped the two parts of Quickstrike's body. To which Mirage went straight to. The Military men walked out and saw the remains of their friends and allies. "Oh no." Lennox murmured as he saw the weeping forms of Elita-1 and Mirage.

Military vehicles suddenly came tearing through the airstrip with their weapons primed to fire surrounding the Autobots. The Autobots fired up their weapons and aimed them at the human soldiers and cars. Lennox was screaming at them to lower their weapons and got a childish response of 'you tell them to lower theirs first.' From one of the soldiers..

When Lennox demanded what was going on, Galloway stepped out of one of the jeeps. "your nest team is deactivated, Major. You are to cease all anti-Decepticon operations immediately, and return to Diego Garcia, and away further orders."

Lennox was only just holding back, from yelling at the man. "we take our orders direct from Chairman Morshower."

"Well, we'll see your chairman of the staff go against the president of the united states. I have operational full control." He brought up a bit of paper. The Autobots did not like this man.

"An alien blood feud has been brought to our shores for which our soldiers are paying the price."

He turned to the Autobots "the secret is out! This is our war now, and we will win it as we always have, with co-ordinated military strategy."

Ratchet spoke to Ironhide. "this fool is terribly miss informed."

Lennox did not want to let the only hope against the Decepticons and his friends go. "you're going to need ever assets that you got."

"what we need is to draw up battle plans, and explore every possible diplomatic solution.

"Like what, handing over the kid?"

"all options are being considered."

The Autobots did not like this. Their prime died to protect this planet and Sam. They were just going to hand over the person, their leader died for. Lennox was gab-smacked.

One of the soldier chose to speak up. "whatever the Decepticons are after. This is just the start."

Lennox got his voice back. "there is no negotiating with them-"

Galloway got up in his face. "I am ordering you to stand down."

Epps had had enough of the pompous man but before he could do anything, the ass ripped something off of Lennox's jacket. "Get your assets back to base. And take those piles of scrap metal back to Diego Garcia."

There were two roars of rage as Elita-1 and Mirage had to be held back from attacking the arrogant ass. Galloway pretty much jumped back into the car to get away from the mad Spark broken bots.

Fortunately he missed the opening of the jeep and smashed into the side of the army jeep. No one laughed as there was too much of an angry and gloomy atmosphere. When Galloway picked himself back up with his last shreds of dignity, he got into the car and left. Epps came up next to the dejected Major.

"I really don't like that dude. He's an Asshole."

"Autobots prepare for transport."

Ratchet walked up to the now second in command. "Ironhide, we should leave this planet."

"That's not what Quickstrike or Optimus would want. We should repair their bodies, for proper burial."

"I'll get on it."

So ratchet got repairing this leader and friend while the other bots got prepared for getting back to Diego Garcia.

~Quickstrike and Primus~

Quick heard Mirage let out the wail. He must have seen me, she thought. She had asked Primus to give her time to say goodbye so she remained online, but he numbed her pain receptors. She saw Jazz coming over to her and knelt beside her. She mouthed his name. Jazz saw her.

"Ratchet, she's still alive!"

She watched Mirage run over to her and kneel beside her. She spoke to them using the last energy that her father gave her.

"I knew this would happen. I made sure, to ask primus how to keep you alive, so that when I came back, you would still be there." She had tears flowing down her face and her energon was pooling under her. "I love you Mirage, never forget that. I will be with father now."

She saw Primus appear with a sad look on his face over Mirage's shoulder. "I can see him."

Primus knelt beside his daughter unseen by any of the Autobots. It will be alright. "He is saying it will be alright. I am coming Primus," Primus gave her a look that said, I am your father, address me as such. She tried to laugh but choked. "father." then she smiled at mirage and let darkness take her.

Waking in the desert area Quickstrike looked around. She saw a great number of Cybertronians of in the distance, but where she was then was in front of her father Primus.

"How long?" She asked her father, he knew what she meant. "Before the battle. Once Sam unlocks his destiny. Your body is being repaired by Ratchet, along with Optimus'. Speaking of who, I believe is now waking up."

Optimus's body made sounds of his systems booting up. He got up and looked around, his optics coming to rest on Primus and Quickstrike.

"We are offline." He stated. Quickstrike nodded. "What of Sam." He asked desperately. "Bumblebee got him out of there."

They continue talking about things. Prime goes to speak with the first Primes.

Primus tells Quickstrike a very worrying piece of information and a set of instructions that she would act upon after the fallen fiasco was over.

Optimus then goes and sees his fallen Autobot brothers and sisters from cybertron.

Quickstrike and Primus watch on a screen like thing, when Sam calls Lennox and gets them to drop Optimus' body in Egypt and to leave hers. Quickstrike smirks, all the more for surprises.

She watches as Lennox tricks the asshole into jumping out of the plane.

Quickstrike gets summoned by the Primes. they tell her that as soon as Sam picks up the matrix before it turns to dust, they will send her back.

Soon after she feels the pull of life and waves goodbye to Primus and the primes.

At Diego Garcia, Quickstrike's body onlines. No one is around to know however, so she quickly transforms into her aerial mode and zooms off to Egypt.

When she arrives in Egypt, she flies around shooting the Decepticons. The Autobots and military don't know who she is (she is moving around to much) but they are thankful all the same. She manages to shoot the Decepticons before they kill Arcee, and her sisters.

When she sees Megatron she knows he is going to do something so she gets ready to shoot him, but the primes get into her head. "we need to speak with him. This is the only way." So she fires on starscream who is flying overhead.

When she hears the screams of Mikaela she feels a bit sad, but knows its for their own good. She see's the fallen sitting on top of the Pyramid and goes to attack him. Skywarp however gets to her first and brings her down to the ground where she changes into her car mode. She easily brings Skywarp down and takes to the air again. She spots out of the corner of her eye, the fallen zooming towards the newly awakened Prime and goes to follow. But Thundercracker interveines.

"Oh, come on!" she yells as she brings down thundercracker.

However when she is done, so is Optimus. She quietly walks over to were Optimus is meeting with everyone.

"Who was the flier that took down many Decepticons?" Jazz asked. No one knew. Optimus walks over to Mirage.

"we can use this to bring her back." He says holding up the matrix. Quickstrike decides to step in.

"there is no need." Heads whip around and restart several times in shock. Mirage glitches.

"Quickstrike?" Ironhide asks. Quickstrike nods. "But how?" Jolt demands.

"I think it would be better to tell you on the way back to Diego Garcia as it is a very long story."
