Enjoy chapter 1 of Transformers Prime: The Final War.)

(Jasper, Nevada, Uniend cluster 911.05 Alpha/Transformers Prime universe, March thirteenth, 2010, third person POV...)

Cliffjumper was driving along a dirt road as he explains to Arcee and Corvowing Prime a story from an incident with the New York Police Department a while back.

Cliffjumper says, "So, there I am on the lookout, just minding my own beeswax when out of nowhere, these high beams of light shine onto my rearview mirrors. And then it hits me: I'm illegally parked!"

Corvowing asks dryly over the commlink, "Let me guess: another parking ticket?"

Cliffjumper replies, "Better. The boot."

Arcee takes a guess, "Big metal tire clamp, impossible to remove."

Cliffjumper replies, "Bingo! So, the local po-lice do their thing, and I wait for them to get all the way down the block. That's when I kick off my new shiny shoe and BANG! I managed to get the tire clamp off and I drove away without being seen!"

Arcee states dryly, "New York's finest soil themselves."

Cliffjumper replies, "You know me, Arcee. Mess with Cliffjumper—"

Corvowing and Arcee finish in unison, "And you get the horns." "And you get the horns."

As Arcee gawks in silence, Cliffjumper chuckles, "Hey! Hehe! I didn't think you knew me as well as Arcee does, Corvowing!"

Corvowing replies, "That comes with the territory in the Quadwal cluster. But Cliffjumper, just because you're bored out of your mind and lusting for action against Megatron's subordinates doesn't give you the right to abuse your natural powers and abilities for your own amusement. Not only is it a direct violation of Autobot rules number one and number two, keep a low profile and never abuse power for personal gain or your own amusement, but also, with great power comes a great deal and burden of responsibility. Besides, what if someone was smart enough to catch onto us and snitch to the entire internet and social media? Perhaps even the entire world? I mean, it's true that nobody on this Earth is as smart as Ratchet, Perceptor, Shockwave, Optimus, or even Earth's greatest physicists put together, but that doesn't mean it's nearly impossible. Besides, I'm not taking any chances."

Cliffjumper replies, "We've been thoroughly prepared for any of those situations. Anyway, what can I say? Patrolling for Energon out here in Dullsville gets lonesome. Almost makes me miss the Decepticons. I do mean almost."

Arcee replies, "Like Jasper, Nevada's a party? We're alone wherever we travel on this rock, Cliff."

Corvowing suddenly appears in transit next to Cliffjumper, much to everyone's confusion.

Cliffjumper asks, "How did you just appear like that?"

Corvowing answers truthfully, "Believe me, if anyone's responsible, it's Primus and the Dynasty of the Primes. As it so happens, I'm not the only one capable of controlling my ability to teleport."

Cliffjumper's monitors start beeping and Corvowing's monitors start to beep, too.

That signified that they found an untapped Energon deposit.

Cliffjumper advises Arcee, "We're getting a signal."

Arcee asks in reply, "Do you boys need backup?"

Corvowing answers before Cliffjumper could, "Yes. The Decepticons will be there along with the Nemesis. We've detected a lot of Energon, and so did the Decepticons led by Roughstuff in Megatron's absence."

Before Cliffjumper can say or ask anything, Arcee asks, "I'll call for reinforcements. How many Decepticons are we talking, sir?"

Corvowing replies, "Best estimate is nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Decepticon Miners, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Ground Vehicon Troopers, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Vehicon Seekers, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Tank Vehicons, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Helicopter Vehicon Snipers, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Vehicon Trucks, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Ground Vehicon Generals, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Ace Vehicon Seekers, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Vehicon Seeker Generals, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Vehicon Captains, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Vehicon Scorchers, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Vehicon Bombardiers, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty Vehicon Gunners, Lugnut, Makeshift, Roughstuff, Soundwave, Tipnose, Silvercruncher, Contrail, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ratbat, Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, and some other Decepticons I don't know about that could easily replace the likes of Skyquake, Dreadwing, Airachnid, Knock Out, Breakdown, Shockwave, and the Insecticons."

Cliffjumper's holoform looks at Corvowing's holoform in confusion.

The expression on the face of Corvowing's holoform tells Cliffjumper that he'll explain when they're out of Decepticon transmission-tracking range.

Corvowing and Cliffjumper drive to the quarry with Energon in it, and Cliffjumper says to Arcee, "Corvowing's right, Arcee; we just found a whole lot of Energon! And we can see the Nemesis warship incoming!"

Suddenly, the Nemesis comes into view, and Corvowing calls out, "We must make a beeline for the woods before they spot us!"

Cliffjumper and Corvowing sped off to the woods before the Nemesis could detect them.

Corvowing transforms to his tall robot mode and Cliffjumper transforms to his robot mode.

If one were to calculate Corvowing Prime's height and compare it to Cliffjumper's height and Optimus Prime's height, one could say Corvowing was at least ten feet taller than Cliffjumper and at least five feet taller than Optimus.

Soon, the Nemesis settles over the Energon deposit and out from the bottom comes a yellow-lit cylindrical elevator shaft, packed with large numbers of Decepticon Miners, Ground Vehicon Troopers and Energon mining equipment.

Meanwhile, Optimus Prime is driving along a road as Arcee contacts him urgently and says, "Arcee to Optimus. The 'Cons are back. Cliffjumper and Corvowing could use some assistance because they and the 'Cons found an untapped Energon deposit."

Optimus replies, "Understood." He contacts Ratchet and asks, "Ratchet, do you have Corvowing's coordinates and Cliffjumper's coordinates?"

In a snow region with a snow-resistant road, Ratchet answers, "I'm locked onto their signals, Optimus. But the majority of our team is scattered across the globe."

Optimus then calls out, "Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Jazz, Chromia, Elita One, Firestar, Flareup, Lancer, Greenlight, Moonracer, Red Alert, Tailgate, Blaster, Falcatron, Hound, Torque, Airazor, Redsight, Blowjaw, Vulturewave Prime, Owlfeather Prime, Ravenimus Prime, Hawkthruster Prime, Strigtimus Prime, Cuervoflight Prime, Chouettesplicer Prime, Beastriot, Kickbeast, rendezvous back at base and prepare the Ground Bridge."

The thirty Autobots drive/fly back to base to prepare the Ground Bridge.

Meanwhile, the Decepticon Miners are working hard at mining the Energon, as there was a lot of it. There were probably about six thousand Energon crystals, maybe more.

Cliffjumper then decides to ask, "Corvowing, what would've happened if I went in there alone?"

Corvowing answers bluntly and thoroughly, "You would've had to fight a lot of Vehicon Troopers, you would end up losing a horn, the Energon would've been blown up, the Vehicons would've dragged you onto the Nemesis, Roughstuff would've snuffed your spark, and when Megatron inevitably returns tomorrow afternoon, he would've used your corpse as a test subject for the real Dark Energon to create his first Terrorcon. Then, when the others would try to find you, Roughstuff would've had you blown up in a failed attempt to kill the others, which actually takes place in an Energon mine in Nebraska. All of that would've left Arcee spark-broken if I'm saying it right."

Cliffjumper looked a bit crestfallen as he replies, "Oh... I see..."

Corvowing then says assuringly, "But don't worry; you're here and alive now. I'll make sure that nothing happens to any of you guys... even if it means sacrificing the values and virtues I was taught of being an Autobot. Either way, Judgment Day has come for the Decepticon army's remnants thousands of years early."

Cliffjumper looks towards the Energon deposit just as the Ground Bridge opens to deposit Ratchet, Ironhide, Jazz, Bulkhead, Chromia, Elita One, Arcee, Firestar, Flareup, Lancer, Greenlight, Moonracer, Red Alert, Tailgate, Bumblebee, Blaster, Falcatron, Hound, Torque, Airazor, Redsight, Blowjaw, Vulturewave Prime, Owlfeather Prime, Ravenimus Prime, Hawkthruster Prime, Strigtimus Prime, Cuervoflight Prime, Chouettesplicer Prime, Beastriot, Kickbeast, and Optimus Prime.

As the laser firing contest starts, Corvowing deploys his clones to collect the Energon while deploying Firefest to reprogram the Vehicon Troopers and the Decepticon Miners.

Corvowing charges into the fray, cocking his Mini-Con's weapon form and immediately starts firing reprogramming harpoons at the Vehicon Troopers and Decepticon Miners while simultaneously reviving and reprogramming the ones that died.

Corvowing says to Arcee and Optimus, "I'll deal with the drones. Make sure nobody shoots at the Energon!"

Optimus and Arcee nodded and allowed Corvowing to reprogram the Vehicon Troopers and Decepticon Miners.

No matter how many Decepticon Miners and Vehicon Troopers Roughstuff would send, Corvowing just kept reprogramming the Vehicon Troopers and Decepticon Miners. And to add insult to injury, he also used his newest Weaponizer Mini-Con, Highbolt, as a duplication beam gun to make physical duplicates of the now Autobot Vehicon Troopers and Autobot Miners.

Soon, the Nemesis stopped deploying any more Vehicon Troopers and any more Decepticon Miners.

Soon, Corvowing's clones and the Autobot Miners successfully mined the Energon while the Autobot Vehicons secured the perimeter, daring any of the Decepticons aboard the Nemesis to do anything.

Optimus and Elita One come up to Corvowing and Optimus states in praise, "Well done, Corvowing."

Cliffjumper pats Corvowing's back plate as gently as possible to ensure he doesn't upset the Lieutenant Commander's wings and adds, "Yeah, and believe me, Optimus, Corvowing here literally saved my life. If it weren't for him, Arcee would've closed herself off from feeling. And that wouldn't've helped anyone."

Everyone looked at each other before looking back at their precious Lieutenant Commander.

Corvowing states simply, "I'll explain later, preferably without Soundwave eavesdropping."

Just then, Moonracer points to one of the spikes on the Nemesis and asks, "Guys, what's that?"

Everyone looks at where Moonracer is pointing and they see an all-too familiar Decepticon Seeker standing on top of the spike as carefully as possible.

Arcee asks, "Is that... Roughstuff?"

Corvowing zooms in, and despite Roughstuff partially sharing Starscream's Transformers Prime appearance from the original timeline, Corvowing's photographic memory allowed him to see that Roughstuff was still the same Starscream-wannabe he used to be during the War for Cybertron.

Optimus replies, "It is indeed Roughstuff."

Optimus deploys one of his Ion Blasters and charges it.

Corvowing deploys his Fusion Cannons and his missile pods attached to the cannons themselves.

Roughstuff fires his twelve missiles at the Autobot team, but Corvowing fires interceptor torpedoes at the missiles.

Roughstuff charges the Autobot Lieutenant Commander in jet mode, but Corvowing just swats him away like a human-sized Insecticon.

Suddenly, Tipnose appears on the same spire and fires his missiles at the remaining Energon crystals.

Chouettesplicer calls out, "We have what we came for; let's go!"

Ratchet successfully takes out his Ground Bridge remote control and opens a Ground Bridge to the Autobot base.

The entire Autobot team – Vehicons and Miners included – managed to evacuate through the Ground Bridge before the missiles could reach the small amount of leftover Energon.

The Autobot team makes it to their base and Ratchet closes the Ground Bridge portal before the blue flames from the exploding Energon could enter it.

Optimus then says, "So, that was a previously untapped Energon deposit."

Corvowing answers, "Yep. The first Decepticon activity in three years, and since they're searching for Energon, they're preparing for Megatron's return tomorrow afternoon, by my calculations."

Optimus looked a bit neutral in terms of the expression on his faceplate.

Corvowing and the others decided to not comment on the whole thing.

Three years ago, after retrieving Megatron's corpse from the Ark just before both the Ark and the Nemesis arrived at Aquatron to liberate the planet from the Quintessons, Soundwave revived his lord and master yet again. Simply because Soundwave's loyalty to Megatron is undying.

In the present day, aboard the Nemesis, Soundwave approaches Roughstuff and the Air Commander asks crossly, "Soundwave, what is it?"

Soundwave plays back part of Arcee's transmission to Roughstuff, "Like Jasper, Nevada's a party? We're alone wherever we travel on this rock, Cliff."

Roughstuff remarks, "Ahh, the one called Arcee. Why attempt to slay multiple Autobots when we can simply force another out in the open away from humans? Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh."

Meanwhile, at the Autobot base, Corvowing is talking with his sixty-three companions who were transported to the Autobot base by Primus three years ago to provide the Autobots with additional reinforcements.

They were Percy Blazes. Rose Chase. Herc Jackson. Willis Pickens. Zella Carrier. Willard Woodall. Yoshie Boston. Wilburn Bermudez. Yesenia Tabor. Wesley Schulz. Audrea Stacy. Yasuko Askew. Weldon Medrano. Yasmine Hutton. Waylon Shipman. Yanira Skaggs. Walton Bruner. Yajaira Greenberg. Walker Mayberry. Yaeko Roark. Virgilo Chacon. Xochitl Prather. Victor Waldron. Xiomara Esposito. Vaughn Lassiter. Wynona Champion. Ulysses Ogden. Winter Blackman. Tyrone Saldana. Valencia Shearer. Tyrell Whitlock. Ulrike Aragon. Tristan Hemphill. Tynisha Zapata. Trevor Corcoran. Twyla Prescott. Tony Fenton. Tula Knutson. Todd Alfaro. Trudy Ouellette. Timothy Dutton. Trisha Huynh. Theodore Jernigan. Treva Addison. Thaddeus Bergman. Tressie Crandall. Terrence Benavides. Trena Barnhart. Tanner Christiansen. Towanda Gifford. Sylvester Parson. Toshiko Bartley. Stuart Bellamy. Tosha Herndon. Steven Starnes. Torrie Jacobsen. Sterling Myrick. Tomiko Nickerson. Teodoro Pendleton. Tisha Huddleston. Stefan Negron. Tinisha Culver. And Spencer Hobson.

Winter asks Corvowing, "James, did you guys get what you were looking for?"

Ratchet looks on in wonder at the mention of Corvowing's human name as the Lieutenant Commander answers, "Yes, Winter. We did get what we were looking for. And our respective foreknowledge allowed us to save Cliffjumper!"

The sixty-three Autobot collaborators cheered in unison while making sure not to cheer too loud so as to not aggravate Ratchet's audio receptors.

Ratchet makes his choice and walks over to Corvowing asking, "What kind of foreknowledge do all of you possess?"

Corvowing replies, "You got time for a story? (Ratchet nods) Okay, alongside my siblings and other relatives, me and my friends originally came from an alternate universe where the race of Transformers was a work of human fiction to entertain human children."

Ratchet's mouthplate hung agape as Corvowing continued, "In our dimension, the Transformers franchise started off as non-sentient metal and sturdy plastic toys for children to play with. The toys in question were made from empty metal food containers in the aftermath of World War II. The toys were originally sold in Japan, but then the toy company Hasbro migrated the toys to the American toy market under the Transformers title. Several writers and editors came up with the names, profiles and background information on the characters, settings and overall origin story for them."

After a few minutes in frozen time of explaining everything to the Autobot medic – while blissfully aware that he recorded everything right from the start to show the others – Corvowing asked Optimus if he could make his friends into techno-organic Transformers with the permanent ability to switch between human and Cybertronian forms at will. After all, Corvowing knows that his friends want to retain any part of their humanity as best as they can muster.

Optimus accepted the idea, and so, Corvowing used his magical and non-magical power of species alteration to turn his sixty-three friends into techno-organic Transformers.

Surprisingly, Flashtide came in, having heard everything, and helped Corvowing with the transformation of the sixty-three Autobot collaborators into techno-organic Autobots.

Soon enough, Corvowing and Flashtide were finished and they stepped back slightly to admire their work.

Percy had the body of a Grounder. He was twenty-five feet tall. His armor was colored in navy blue and silver. He had a car grill on his chestplate, but he also had the same chestplate design as Lockdown from Transformers: Age of Extinction. He had door wings on his back like Bumblebee, but there were also back bumper parts on Percy's lower back. He had wheels on his feet like the Animated Optimus Prime and the Revenge Of The Fallen Sideswipe put together. His arms were medium-sized with a fifty percent mass of muscle, and he had five normal digits on each servo.

Rose was also a Grounder. She was twenty-four feet tall. Her armor was in yellow and red. She had the same chestplate as Cliffjumper and Arcee put together in terms of chestplate design. She was as muscular as Cliffjumper and Optimus put together without being overly buff. She had back wheels on the back of her legs and her front wheels were on her back plate in the same position as Optimus' front wheels. She had arms as long as Bumblebee's and her servos also had five normal digits.

Herc was twenty-two feet tall, but he was a Triple-Changer. His armor was black with purple stripes. He had the same body design as the Generations Selects Super Megatron/Ultra Megatron toy merged with that of the Animated Marauder Megatron and the Generation 1 Blitzwing. If the tank turrets on his back, the wings on his back, and the tank treads on his arms, back and legs was any giveaway, one would easily figure out he's a Triple Changer.

On the other hand, Willis was twenty-nine feet tall and his armor was colored in Air Force blue, raisin black and almond brown. Because of the fact that he was a Seeker, he transforms into a fighter jet. He had his wings positioned in the same way as the Tyran cluster Starscream, his five digits ended in retractable claws, he had thrusters in his feet and on the back of his wings to allow him to fly in robot mode, and he had Null-Ray cannons and missile pods in his arms. On top of that, his jet nosecone was positioned the same way as the Generation 1 Air Raid.

As for Zella, she was thirty-five feet tall, and her armor was colored in Persian blue, dark spring green and light orange. She also had five digits ending in retractable claws, she had thrusters on the back of her wings, her wings were positioned like the wings of a Vehicon Seeker, she had sonic cannons and cluster missiles in her arms, and she had a scanner in her right wrist guard that allows her to scan and identify anything and anyone in any environment. On top of that, her jet mode nosecone was positioned like the War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron Jetfire's jet mode nosecone.

Willard was standing at thirty feet tall and his armor was colored in tiger's eye orange, neon green and school bus yellow. His wings were positioned like the Aligned continuity iteration of Cyclonus, his five digits ended in retractable claws as well, he had thrusters in his feet to allow him to fly in robot mode, he had a Fusion Cannon on his right arm and a Plasma Cannon in his left arm, along with a whopping sixty cluster missiles and sixty Energon missiles wrapped around his arms and Fusion Cannon.

Soon, the sixty-three techno-organic Autobots got their Autobot symbols and they were given their vehicle modes via holographic projections that Flashtide provided.

Everyone fist-bumped with Flashtide and Corvowing.

Flashtide went to his quarters to prepare for when he and the others meet up with the human protagonists – in other words, Jack, Miko, and Rafael.

After the new Fliers went out to stretch their new wings and the new Grounders went for a drive in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, Corvowing was approached by Arcee who asks him, "Hey, want to go on patrol with me?"

Corvowing shrugs as he replies, "I don't see why not."

Corvowing initiates his ground vehicle mode and Arcee initiates her normal vehicle mode, then the two Autobots drive out of the base to the city limits of Jasper, Nevada.

Meanwhile, at the K.O. Drive-In restaurant, the bell dings as Jack prepares the final order of the day and he asks, "Welcome to K.O. Drive-In, where every patty's a knock out. Can I take your order?"

The voice says in the other side of the microphone, "Uh, two super combos, extra fries."

Jack states while preparing the order for pickup, "Okay, dos numero twos. Anything else?"

The voice replies, "Uh, no, that'll be it."

Jack then puts the bags on the windowsill and says, "Okay, that's five fifty-nine, sir."

The driver of the car is offered the food as he then pays for it.

The car drives off and Jack smiles in pride, knowing that his job is paying more than enough for him and his mother to have a roof over their heads.

Meanwhile, Arcee and Corvowing drive into the city limits with their holoforms active.

Surprisingly, Corvowing was as adept at using his holoform as any of his comrades.

After driving past the gas station, Corvowing and Arcee are followed by a pair of Vehicon Troopers.

Corvowing spots them in his rearview and mutters, "Twins."

Arcee replies, "Follow my lead."

Arcee leads Corvowing into the parking lot of the K.O. Drive-In restaurant and they managed to lose their pursuers.

After checking their rearviews to see the Vehicon Troopers pass by without seeing them, Corvowing suggests, "Let's take five."

Corvowing and Arcee shut down their engines.

Jack walks outside, followed by two older boys.

Corvowing could tell right from the appearance of the two older boys' raven-colored hair that they were Jack's brothers.

But that greatly confused Corvowing as Jack didn't have any siblings in the original timeline and yet, there was still no information about the whereabouts of his father in this current timeline as much as in the original timeline.

Suddenly, Jack's phone rings to signify his mother was calling him.

Jack picks up, "Hey Mom, I just got off. No, I'm not going to the dance, and I heard Benjamin and Boris aren't interested. Besides, experience suggests I should never cut a rug, unless I'm installing carpet. Be careful? Seriously? This is Jasper."

Jack suddenly looks at Arcee, and is awestruck.

Benjamin and Boris look at Arcee and Corvowing in awe.

Jack says in awe without putting his phone close to his mouth, "I love you!"

Corvowing's holoform smirks in the darkened windows of his vehicle mode, knowing that he was never gonna let Arcee live this one down.

Jack says quickly to his mother over the phone, "Yeah, I-I love you too, Mom, gotta run."

Jack hangs up and approaches the unfamiliar motorcycle while saying, "Hello, beautiful. Where have you been all my life?"

Jack feels the synthetic leather seat and remarks, "Nice."

Boris advises, "Jack, that could be someone else's bike and you could get in trouble for just touching it. Besides, you know how some people are these days. Motorcycle riders included."

Jack rudely ignored him, but then, a female voice from behind him said, "You really should listen to your brother."

Jack whirls around to see Sierra and one of her friends standing there with their arms crossed and with scowls fixed onto their faces.

Jack asks nervously, "H-hey, Sierra. H-how's things?"

Sierra growls as she replies, "I don't know how you know my name, but you should know better than to touch other people's bikes or cars without asking. I mean, for all we know, you could end up scratching the paint job, and trust me, the paint job on even a Japanese motorcycle is not cheap."

Jack looks over the motorcycle with a thorough eye and notices that nothing was scratched or otherwise messed with.

Jack replies back, "Well, at least you're right. But seriously, how's things, Sierra? Want me to take you for a ride sometime after I get my own motorcycle?"

Corvowing and Arcee look into their rearview mirrors and see that the Vehicon Troopers have found them.

Corvowing and Arcee quietly mumble, "Come on, smooth operator, and wrap it up." "Come on, smooth operator, wrap it up."

Sierra asks crossly, "Don't change the subject! And also, how do you know my name?"

Jack replies nervously, "W-we're in homeroom together. I-I'm Jack. Jack Darby."

Benjamin then points out, "Um, Jack, we better leave."

The Vehicons rev their engines and shine their headlights on the five teenagers.

Corvowing and Arcee say in unison, "Scrap!" "Augh, crap."

The two Vehicon Troopers charge towards the seven parking lot occupants and Corvowing's holoform drags the two girls and Jack's brothers inside his vehicle mode.

Corvowing and Arcee take off with Jack screaming his head off.

Sierra and her unnamed friend look at the driver of the car as he drives off to an alley and he drops them off.

He says to them, "Stay safe, girls, and be on the lookout for any more purple EvoJet sports cars."

Corvowing drives off to join up with Arcee.

With Arcee, she managed to scrape her way in between the two Vehicons and drive off.

As Arcee tries to outdrive the two Decepticons, she says to her passenger, "Do NOT let go!"

Jack shouts, "Who said that?!"

The two Vehicon Troopers then catch up with Arcee and she manages to temporarily brake so as to avoid the two Decepticon troops from slamming into her.

The result was the two Vehicons slamming into each other instead.

Arcee continues outdriving the two Vehicon Troopers and makes a right turn.

The Vehicon Troopers follow and one of them radios, "Commander Roughstuff, target sighted. Accompanied by a human youth."

Roughstuff replies angrily, "What is it with humans and Autobots?! Destroy them both!"

In an alleyway, Arcee skids to a stop and allows Jack to dismount.

Jack asks bewilderedly, "What... are you supposed to be?!"

Arcee replies with a warning, "I don't exist. Tell anyone about me, and I will hunt you down."

Jack raises his hands in the surrender gesture and runs off, secretly preparing his pocketknives and his safety silenced gun for any of the Vehicon Troopers.

Arcee outdrives the Vehicon Troopers, but sees through her rearview mirror one of the Vehicons taking a detour to where Jack was.

Arcee grumbles, "Scrap!"

Arcee does a sharp U-turn and drives back the way she came, jumping over the second Vehicon Trooper to gain extra distance to reach Jack.

With Jack, he managed to get into position and slashed one of the Vehicon's tires, popping it.

The Vehicon snarls, "OW! What the frag?!"

Jack aims his silenced safety gun at another tire and fires a shot, taking out the tire.

The Vehicon snarls again, "OW! You pathetic, miserable human!"

Arcee jumps over to Jack and he unhesitatingly mounts her.

As Arcee and Jack drive off, the pursuing Vehicon Troopers opened a compartment atop their headlights and activated their guns.

The Vehicons fired their Energon laser guns at Arcee and Jack, but they kept missing. Most likely due to Jack keeping his guard up and likely due to the speed Arcee is driving herself at.

Jack asks, "If those things are shooting at you with energy weapons, you wouldn't occur to have any guns on yourself by any chance, right?"

Arcee replies, "I'm afraid not, kiddo. Just hold on tight!"

Soon, the chase went onto the highway, and as the two Vehicon Troopers caught up, Bumblebee and Corvowing caught up as well.

Bumblebee slammed into the Vehicons, knocking them off-course for a bit while Corvowing weaved through traffic without attracting any attention or rousing any suspicions.

Jack asks, "Friends of yours?"

Arcee replies, "Family, in the metaphorical sense."

Arcee and Jack drive off, with Corvowing following closely behind.

Bumblebee tries to block the Vehicons from getting passed, but one of them manages to trick him into going to one direction long enough for the same drone to knock Bumblebee out with a P.I.T maneuver.

Meanwhile, Rafael Esquivel is driving his remote-control car in a drainage junction on the surface, underneath an overpass.

Raf gets a call from his mother and he says, "Hi, Momma... Racing, right up the street... Okay, just five more minutes?"

Raf hangs up and continues driving his remote-control car while poorly imitating the sound of a car engine revving.

Meanwhile, Arcee and Corvowing come up onto the dead end, much to the horror of Jack and his older brothers.

Arcee and Corvowing make the jump, causing Jack, Benjamin and Boris to scream in horror and in unison.

Arcee and Corvowing come upon the drainage and they skid to a stop.

Raf drops his remote control and remarks, "Whoa."

Jack recovers from the initial shock and replies, "Ugh. You have no idea."

As Jack dismounts Arcee, Benjamin and Boris exit Corvowing's vehicle mode and Boris points out, "Guys, we have company!"

Everyone looks at where Boris is pointing to see the two Vehicon Troopers driving down the path, using the end as a ramp, jumping into the air, and transforming to robot mode while bringing out their Energon blasters.

The two Vehicons land and charge their guns.

Corvowing transforms to robot mode, his transformation being a combination of Optimus Prime in the Transformers Prime universe and in the Tyran cluster/live action Transformers films.

Arcee transforms to her robot mode.

Corvowing snarls, "This ends here, Decepticons!"

Corvowing and Arcee charge the two Vehicons as they start to open fire.

Because of Arcee's small size and her agility, the Vehicons continually missed. On the other hand, any shot that hit Corvowing bounced off his armor because of the fact that he's completely invulnerable.

Arcee does a high jumping kick and knocks the first Vehicon down while Corvowing knocked out the other one with a knock out punch.

Raf then timidly asks, "Wh-what are they?"

Corvowing turns to them and answers briefly, "We're a race of sentient living robots from another planet that has been involved in a civil war for twelve million years."

Jack asks, "What?! So, you guys can easily outlive us humans?"

Arcee replies, "More or less."

Corvowing catches a punch from the same Vehicon Trooper he knocked out briefly, and puts him in a chokehold.

Corvowing sneers, "It's been a long time since I had a good fight against you warmongers! Die, you wretched Decepticon scum!"

The Vehicon attempts to throw Corvowing off, but because of his height and weight, it was now a matter of seconds before the Vehicon goes offline despite the fact that Cybertronians don't breathe.

Suddenly, Corvowing is rushed by another seventy-five Vehicons and they gang up on him, only for the Autobot Lieutenant Commander to throw them off while roaring, "NNNYYYAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!"

Everyone winced at how loud Corvowing roared, especially the human children due to them recognizing that Corvowing's roar sounded like Venom from the Ultimate Spider-Man video game roaring in the same situation.

Corvowing took out Firefest in his harpoon cannon mode and fires multiple harpoons at the seventy-six Vehicons.

Then, to annoy Roughstuff even more, Corvowing took out Highbolt in his duplication beam gun mode and fired multiple beams at the seventy-six Vehicons, creating more and more and more Vehicon duplicates.

This went on for about three minutes and about five hundred and ninety-six uses before Highbolt was given an Energon Recharger to reenergize.

Soon, there was about twenty-one thousand, four hundred and fifty-six Autobot Vehicons made.

Suddenly, a deployment of seventy thousand Vehicons came, only to be reprogrammed and duplicated again.

Bulkhead then turned up on the scene, transformed to robot mode and clanged his fists together as he asked, "Who's ready to rumble?! Oh."

He looks at the numerous Vehicon Troopers that have red paint jobs and the Autobot insignia on their chestplates.

Bumblebee also turned up, transformed to robot mode and saw the sight before him.

Corvowing asks Bulkhead dryly, "Let me guess: traffic?"

Bulkhead deadpans in reply, "Yep. Traffic."

The ninety-one thousand, four hundred and sixty Autobots look at the four young boys as Corvowing says, "We'll be going now, but don't worry; we'll let you kids know if we need to bring you with us. And be sure to tell your mothers, because they'll want to know what you saw."

Everyone looks at Corvowing bewilderedly, forcing him to look at them and state simply, "I know what I'm doing."

At Autobot Headquarters at Autobot Outpost Omega One, Corvowing finishes explaining, "And I made the call for the boys to tell their mothers because I know if we bring them into our fold, their mothers might get suspicious and paranoid about their unexplained absences and slipping school grades.

Optimus looks over his shoulder plate as he asks, "And you intend to recruit only three of their friends and their respective families?"

Corvowing replies, "Yes. I intend to make them into techno-organics so that way, while they're still attending school and their jobs, they can tell you guys all about humanity and the world we live in, among other things."

Arcee looks to be against the idea, but a simple glance from Optimus reminded Arcee that it's not her call to go against Corvowing's idea no matter how he chooses to use his foreknowledge responsibly, as a Lieutenant Commander is above the ranks of a normal lieutenant, let alone a first lieutenant.

Optimus then decides, "If the Decepticons are indeed targeting us, anyone perceived as our ally will be at grave risk. Bring them and their families and the children's three friends here after their school day tomorrow, so that we may explain everything."

The next day, Jack is walking down the steps of the high school, and runs into Rafael at the nearest tree.

Jack says, "Hey, Raf, look, let's just keep this between us and my brothers and forget anything happened last night."

Just then, a car horn sounds to attract their attention.

Raf gasps as he says, "*gasp* Jack!"

Bumblebee pulls up as Jack bemoans, "Oh, not again!"

Bumblebee opens his door and says, "Get in, little guy."

Raf asks, "Okay. How's it going?"

Raf climbs in despite Jack's protests.

Jack looks behind him to see Arcee parked in a space of the parking lot.

Jack walks away as Arcee watches Miko sketch a drawing of her vehicle mode.

Miko gushes with a whisper at the end, "Coolest. Bike. Ever!"

Miko's phone starts ringing to signify that her host parents were calling her after she had hung up on her biological parents, only to end up hearing a voicemail saying that her bio parents had moved to Jasper to keep an eye on Miko and to spend more time with her.

Miko states to herself, "Host parents? Ignore."

Miko hangs up, ignoring the call, and goes back to her sketch drawing.

Once Miko sees that the bike (Arcee) is gone, Miko grumbles, "Ugh!"

Miko then looks behind her to see Arcee with her holoform activated driving away from the school.

Miko gets up from her seat and runs after Arcee, unknowingly playing right into Corvowing's claws.

Arcee gets in front of Jack in an alley, stops, and states, "Relax. I just want to talk to you."

Jack retorts, "Don't you mean you and your generic foot soldiers?"

Arcee deactivates her holoform and replies calmly, "Kiddo, there's a lot here you don't understand a thing about."

Jack replies back, "N-no, I get it, I get it. The first rule of Robot Fight Club is you don't talk about Robot Fight Club." Jack starts to walk away as he finishes his tirade, "What you need to understand is that I don't want a bunch of crazy talking vehicles following me around and trying to get me killed in this crazy civil war of yours!"

Arcee transforms to robot mode and replies again, "Look, Jack, is it? Your personal safety is exactly why Optimus Prime has requested your presence, the presence of your brothers, the presence of your cousins, the presence of your mother, the presence of your friends, and the presence of their families."

Jack asks, "O-Optimus who?"

Arcee answers, "Optimus Prime. He's my leader. He requested you be brought to our base so that everything can be explained. Look, Jack, you and everyone you care about currently are in danger because you're among the very few who have ever seen us and seen what some of us are capable of."

Miko then announces her presence as she says, "Dude, what are you waiting for?! Go with!"

Arcee then contacts Corvowing Prime and asks, "Corvowing Prime, did you want this Miko Nakadai to know about us too?"

Corvowing replies like if his voice was on a speaker phone, "Yes, Arcee. She followed you without being seen, and even if I tried to have that averted, Miko discovering us is a fixed point in time. I couldn't interfere without risking creating a time storm."

Arcee replies, "Good point."

Later on, Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Elita One, and Ironhide carried Jack, his mother June, Jack's oldest brother Benjamin, Jack's second oldest brother Boris, Jack's first cousin Ellen, His second cousin Amaia, his third cousin Wilbert, Miko, her oldest host sister Alexa, her second oldest host sister Alexis, her oldest host brother Buster, her second oldest host brother Carmine, her oldest host cousin Casey, her second oldest host cousin Allison, her third oldest host cousin Cedric, Miko's biological father Toshiyuki, Miko's biological mother Shizuka, Miko's oldest biological brother Kinryu, Miko's second oldest biological brother Masashi, Miko's first oldest biological sister Atsuko, Miko's second oldest biological sister Suzuka, Miko's third oldest biological sister Tetsuya, Rafael, his oldest sister Palora, his second oldest sister Allegra, his oldest brother Juni, his second oldest brother Oscar, Raf's mother Rosa, Raf's father Alfredo, Vince, his oldest sister Alexis, his second oldest sister Amanda, Vince's mother Earlean, Vince's father Emilio, Sierra, her oldest brother Charles, her second oldest brother Nathanael, her mother Eartha, Sierra's father Eusebio, Sierra's first cousin Fabian, Sierra's second cousin Francis, and lastly, Sierra's third, fourth, fifth and sixth cousins Edna, Eleanor, Elfreda and Elvera to the Autobot base.

All the while, Miko was whooping like an adrenaline junkie.

Jack asks incredulously, "And why exactly are we taking her?!"

Arcee replies simply, "Rules are rules. And besides, chances are she would snitch on us, and many of our numbers love tormenting snitches with stitches."

The Autobot team enters the silo, much to the amazement of their passengers.

Corvowing stepped inside the command center just as the new humans disembarked long enough for Arcee, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Bulkhead, Elita One and Ironhide to transform back to robot mode.

Ratchet then asks, "And these are the humans you wanted to recruit, Corvowing?"

Corvowing replies, "Yep. You heard me loud and clear."

Raf starts to introduce himself, only for Corvowing to interject, "We already know who you guys are."

Raf shook off his initial shock and asks, "So, if you guys are sentient living robots, who made you?"

Bulkhead replies, "Our creator goes by the name of Primus. He's the god of the Transformers race. And us Transformers are a race of living robots with the ability to take on the appearance of vehicles, weapons, everyday objects and animals."

Miko then inquires, "So, what does this Primus transform into?"

Corvowing answers, "Primus is a giant-sized planetary Transformer, a Transformer robot with the ability to transform into an entire planet. Primus' planetary form is our home planet known to us as Cybertron."

Optimus then comes in from the Ground Bridge tunnel and continues, "For eons, our civilization has been at peace. Until a bot by the name of Sentinel Zeta Prime took command of Cybertron's ruling government, the High Council, and divided our people into different castes eerily similar to some of the countries of Earth."

Ratchet continues, "When the time came for a new Prime to be put in charge of the High Council, Optimus was chosen instead of his former mentor, the gladiator known as Megatron. When Megatron attempted to gun down a member of the Council in a fit of anger and loss of patience, Corvowing Prime here saved the Councilor, and Megatron left after declaring war on any Cybertronian affiliated with Optimus and the High Council. Thus, that started the war between our faction, and Megatron's followers, the Decepticons."

Jack then asks, "W-well, why are you guys here on Earth?"

Optimus answers, "Our home planet's core was poisoned, thus rendering Cybertron unable to produce our life force, Energon, so we left Cybertron to find a planet with the Energon necessary to keep us alive long enough to win the war. And Earth is the only planet that was seeded with lots of Energon by unknown parties an unknown amount of time ago."

Corvowing then continues with holograms, "The Decepticons these days tend to send their foot soldiers, the Vehicon Troopers, to carry out tasks like searching for Energon and engaging us in the field. Even though they have very poor aim, they're physically powerful combatants, and they can vary in their vehicle modes, ranging from sports cars to fighter jets, tanks, helicopters, and tanker trucks. Most importantly, the Vehicon Troopers come in a variety of colors, such as black, blue, brown, gold, gray, green, orange, pink, purple, red, silver, violet, white, and yellow for the males and females among them."

Miko yawns as she asks boredly, "*Ahhh*, is there gonna be a quiz?"

Miko's mother smacks her in the head and admonishes her in Japanese for being rude.

This is what Shizuka Nakadai said: "Shitsureina koto wa shinaide kudasai, Miko! Kono kodai no naisen no tame ni, ōtobotto ga ie to kazoku o ushinatta koto ni kidzuite imasen ka?/Do not be rude, Miko! Don't you realize that the Autobots have lost their home and their families because of this ancient civil war?"

Corvowing adds in Japanese for Miko's parents to understand, "Kanojo wa pointo o motte imasu, Miko. Sono Ue, sono komento wa mattaku shitsureideshita./She's got a point, Miko. Besides, that comment was utterly rude."

Everyone was shocked at how well Corvowing was able to speak fluent Japanese just long enough for Miko's parents to understand what he was saying.

Jack gives Miko a look to signify that he agreed before asking Corvowing, "So, what does any of this have to do with us?"

Corvowing answers, "The Decepticons are targeting us, and anyone they perceive as our allies will be on their metaphorical kill list. Also, Megatron hasn't been seen or heard from for three years. But since he's returning today, his plans to conquer the universe have gotten slightly more dangerous because he plans to use a new method of materializing his army: a solidified form of purple Energon ancient texts refer to as Dark Energon."

Raf asks shakily, "Wh-what's Dark Energon?"

Optimus answers, "Dark Energon is a corrupt form of Energon that can bring dead Cybertronians to life as cannibalistic zombies known to us as Terrorcons. Basically, when a Transformer is turned into a Terrorcon, they are nearly unstoppable unless you slice them to pieces, crush them underfoot, decapitate them, or shoot out their spark chambers, where the Dark Energon is infused into the extinguished spark. And if you are curious of what a Cybertronian spark is, it's a digital soul made of flowing electricity and other forms of universal energy that keeps a Transformer alive. But since Megatron's return is imminent, as I feared, this chapter of the war will prove to be catastrophic."

After a few minutes of explaining things, the kids and their families were shocked to hear that Corvowing Prime, Redsight, Blowjaw, Vulturewave Prime, Owlfeather Prime, Ravenimus Prime, Hawkthruster Prime, Strigtimus Prime, Cuervoflight Prime, Chouettesplicer Prime, Beastriot, Kickbeast, Strikemine, Joltviper, Fire Magnus, Weirdsweeper, Nova Magnus, Crankflash, Aciddash, Vulturicus Prime, Blazewave, Chasebow, Herc Jackson, Soarduke, Hardsweeper, Nightblock, Counterhead, Airfest, Nosejaw, Triggerblades, Smokehead, Smokesaw, Sixtron, Counterback, Hardblock, Nightsweeper, Firsthead, Chopspan, Firstasor, Catstalker, Moonbomb, Slugbox, Grimshot, Dreadtwin, Sandstuff Divestalker, Shockbeat, Slapbeat, Overgrin, Crankgut, Wave Rod, Gundrive, Skullframe, Bombstreet, Fortresstwin, Scatterhide, Blowrunner, Tipwise, Blitzflight, Ripperjump, Joyworks, Takeabee, Kickasor, Skyjaw, Pointnose, Side Cloud, Birdworks, Light Spot, Moon Maximus, Battle Leo, Doggut, Megablank, Traildance, Finrider, Battleline, Redsor, Squeeze End, Hosebeak, Searchthroat, Omegahead, Nightasor, Deadbrow, and Supercrunch were once human beings from another dimension where the race of Transformers and the respective allies of the Autobots, the Maximals, the Predacons and the Decepticons were fictional.

But once that bridge was crossed, the forty-four humans accepted the call of destiny by having Corvowing turn them into techno-organics. After all, Jack did say that "I want to help in whatever way I can. After all, some of your numbers might be from another dimension, but you're still fighting a war on our home turf, and as such, you're gonna need all the help you can get."

So, Corvowing gave the forty-four new recruits their Cybertronian forms.

So, for the rest of the afternoon in frozen time, the new Seekers stretched their wings – they went for a flight – and the Grounders got used to their new driving skills while the Triple Changers learned how to control their thoughts when they want to enter a specific vehicle mode or robot mode from either vehicle mode.

Meanwhile, Soundwave approaches Roughstuff with his monitor-like face emitting sonar radar pinging sounds.

Roughstuff knew this meant a Decepticon was requesting a Space Bridge entryway into the Milky Way. And Roughstuff knew that there was only one Decepticon who would have the capability of making that kind of request and the vehicle mode necessary to fly in space... MEGATRON.

Roughstuff remarks, "Those transmissions are emanating from deep space. I would hate to waste the Energon... unless you are absolutely certain?"

Soundwave silent nods to signify he was certainly serious.

Roughstuff sighs in response, "Hhhhaaaa. Very well. You there, lock onto those transmission coordinates and activate the Space Bridge."

The Vehicon Trooper types a command into the computer to activate the Space Bridge.

Far away from the Earth, the Space Bridge activates, and a silver and purple Cybertronian fighter jet flies out of the portal.

The jet immediately transforms to robot mode, confirming Optimus and Corvowing's claims that MEGATRON HAS RETURNED.

The revived leader of the Decepticons calls out, "DECEPTICONS!... I have returned."

Megatron smiles evilly, showing how much his mannerisms and appearance had changed over the past three years.

To be continued...
