Jazz was dumbfounded when he heard the voice said that he was Jazz. "Wait a minute…" Jazz began, "There's no way you're Jazz! I'm Jazz!"
"Shut up!" Jazz yelled, "Just wait right there, a team of Autobots will be there shortly to take you into custody."
"I don't like how this is turning out…" Jazz said to Cliffjumper, "Cliffjumper, they don't know you're in here, and we don't need the two of us captured. Find a place to lay low for a while, and I'll try to get in touch with you later."
"But Jazz!" Cliffjumper said, but before he could finish, Jazz interrupted him.
"Cliffjumper!" Jazz exclaimed, "Just go find a place in this shuttle to hide out for a while. Trust me, I'll be fine!"
"You'd better be right, Jazz." Cliffjumper said as he ran off. After Jazz lost sight of him, he heard something attach itself to the shuttle. "Sounds like a boarding chute." Jazz said to himself, "Looks like their here…" Sure enough, Autobots Prowl and Ironhide entered the shuttle. "Prowl?!?" Jazz exclaimed, "Ironhide?!? But… You guys are dead!"
"Well that's news to me." Prowl responded, "Last time I checked, I was very much alive."
"Likewise." Ironhide replied, "Listen here pal, who sent you? Decepticons?"
"No!" Jazz said, "I am the Autobot Jazz! I always have been, I always will be!"
"No dice." Prowl said, "C'mon, Ironhide, lets take this thing down. I think we're going to have to take 'Jazz' here to see Swipeamus Prime."
"Swipeamus Prime?" Jazz asked, "What about Rodimus Prime?"
"This guy's crazy." Ironhide, "Now, how the hell do you fly this god damn thing?"
"Allow me." Jazz said as he brought the shuttle down, "Now then, I believe you wanted me to see somebody. Well, let's not waste his time, let's go." Jazz was escorted into the Autobot Headquarters by the two Autobots. And in a few moments time, he was led into a room with Swipeamus Prime and Jazz.
"Sideswipe?!?" Jazz began, "Looks like someone's been hitting the gym lately!"
"The name is Swipeamus Prime." Swipeamus replied, "On to business. You claim to be Jazz, but Jazz is right here by me."
"Yeah, pal!" Jazz yelled at Jazz, "I'm Jazz! You're just some decoy the Decepticons created!"
"We don't know that, Jazz." Swipeamus said, "I'm willing to listen to his story if he is willing to tell it."
"Probably just lies implanted in his head." Jazz said to Swipeamus, "We can not believe a word he says."
"Mellow out, dude!" Jazz said, "At least give me a chance to explain myself." Jazz told his story from the beginning. From the mission that Rodimus Prime had sent both he and Cliffjumper on. The wormhole that brought them to this world. Nightwatch and the other Demicronians that took them in. The defeat of Zainex. Jazz's imprisonment by Gravimus. The defeat of Gravimus. And of the voyage home. "And that's all I have to say." Jazz said.
"Could it really be true?" Swipeamus asked, "That you really are from another world?"
"It's the truth." Jazz replied, "But could you tell me YOUR story? How all this came to be."
"Gladly." Swipeamus said, and he told his story. The attack on Autobot City. The death of Optimus Prime. Galvatron and Unicron. And when Sideswipe gained the Matrix.
"That sounds like the events in my world." Jazz said, "Only we had different people in different places."
"You said there was another Cliffjumper with you." Swipeamus began, "What happened to him?"
"I left him in the shuttle." Jazz replied, "I told him to lay low until things died down. I think I should go get him now." Just as Jazz finished, Blaster burst into the room.
"I hate to interrupt." Blaster said, "But a few moments ago, our scans registered Decepticon activity on Cybertron. The Sweeps were here, and they made off in the shuttle that this guy came in."
"What?!?" Jazz exclaimed, "Cliffjumper was in that shuttle!"
"No he wasn't." Blaster replied, "He was with me the whole time."
"Not our Cliffjumper." The other Jazz said, "Apparently, this guy had a Cliffjumper from his world with him, hard enough as that is to believe."
"It's true!" Jazz shouted, "Me and Cliffjumper were brought to this world through a wormhole, and we've been trying to get back to our world ever since! Now, where did those damned Decepticons take that shuttle!"
"If I had to guess," Swipeamus said, "I'd say they were on their way to Charr, the planet we banished the Decepticons to. Let's get some more details, guys."
TIME: That very moment. PLACE: Shuttle. The Sweeps contact Shockwave to tell him they accomplished their mission.
"We got it, Shockwave." One of the Sweeps said.
"Excellent!" Shockwave replied, "Now, bring this shuttle to me so we can finish the construction of Trypticon!"
Cliffjumper had heard all of this. "Shockwave?" he thought to himself, "Trypticon? Where are these bozos talking me? Wherever I'm going, I know I won't like it…"
