Author Note: Hello guys I have finally decided to go right ahead and dive right into this after reading a story that I recommend you guys to check that is called, "Still in this Fight" by Scepter 2-1 actual which inspired me to stop procrastinating this story because of my insecurity and fear that I would get details wrong and how I won't be able to bring this story that I have in my mind to full fruition. I will say that I am not a Halo nerd or Transformers nerd but I do like the two franchises respectfully. I am going to need help from you guys to let me know what I messed up in, what I can improve, and also answer questions of mine that I do not know the answers to. This story timing on the chapters would be a lot slower since I would need to add details as well as the battle scenes which I have no experience in whatsoever. But, I hope I can pull them off or at least try to. I would let you guys know if I have any questions and concerns about where the experts in these respective franchises can give down in the reviews by listing them as Q&A.

Disclaimer: I do not own these franchises and they belong to their respective owners. What I do own are my OC's.


It was a hot day in the later afternoon in Jasper, Nevada where a large sea of students were leaving and rushing from Memorial High School after school had finally ended and summer vacation was starting.

Three children, in particular, were rushing into three vehicles that were a green SUV, a Camaro, and a Buell firebolt XB12R motorcycle.

The names of these three children were Miko that spunk rockstar girl with pink hair that was always loved the thrill of danger, Raf a shy boy that has a great intellect and had a way with computers, and lastly was Jack who was the oldest of three and was the one who assumed responsibility for the two of them.

They headed far and far away from Jasper and any human presence for that matter until they took a road that almost nobody used since it led to nowhere.

They were headed to a place that few people knew about since it was a governmental secret so that the rest of the population would go crazy and haywire to what it contained.

The three cars and their passengers were heading straight to a military base that took a lot of people they would not have access to.

But, what most people didn't know was that a door opened that led inside was being used by a race of living machines called cybertronians.

This base in particular was used by a faction of cybertronians called Autobots that were protecting the humans and those who inhabited them from their evil counterparts the Decepticons who only sought conquest and total domination over Earth and her inhabitants.

" Man! Bulkhead we are going to have so much fun! We can go to concerts and go to monster truck rallies! ", proclaims Miko to her guardian as she heads to the human area where Jack and Raf are already setting up a video game that they wanted to try which was the call of duty.

" Hey Bee, you want to come and watch Jack play? ", observes Raf as he sees Bee looking over the human area to Jack setting up the Xbox into the TV. "[: Sure:] " beeped Bumblebee as he headed to the human area with Bulkhead right behind him since he had nothing important to do.

Arcee had already left to do patrol in case the Decepticon activity pops up again. It has been a few weeks that the Decepticons have not made their presence known and it had started to worry them because it was not a good sign when the Decepticons were silent for long periods.

It was more worrying since Megatron had his head scientist Shockwave on earth and his pet predacon causing havoc ever since the events of Darkmount.

But, they have more numbers since Wheeljack had decided to stay on earth, and with Ultra Magnus and Smokescreens arrival they were able to cover more ground to patrol and search for more energon veins in caves.

" Optimus… What do you think the Decepticons are planning on doing? It is too long even for Megatron to remain silent and not make his presence known " Ratchet points out to the Autobot leader as the monitor remains silent.

" It would seem that Megatron is waiting to strike when we are not looking " asserts Optimus as he stared at the screen with a thoughtful gaze.

The atmosphere was soon interrupted with a proximity alarm turned on and alerted them of Fowler's arrival on the base.

He had provided for them since their original base was destroyed when the Decepticons knew of their location thanks to Starscream infiltrating the base by using red energon to steal the omega keys.

" Prime just wanted to check on how everyone was doing ", asserts Agent Fowler as he walks into the base and with June Darby in turn, as she was following Fowler to the base to check on her son and the rest of the children after what happened with the events of the Decepticons temporary take over of earth.

" We are doing fine Agent Fowler and thank you for the base that you gave us ", said Prime as he looked at Fowler.

" It is no problem Prime, just happy to be of assistance ", he said as he was very glad that they hadn't lost Optimus to the Decepticons.

As the conversation was about to continue a beeping was heard from the monitor and Ratchet was already there to isolate the signal.

" Looks like it is an unknown signal and what is strange is that this signal is no signal I had evey detected before ", said Ratchet with a puzzled look on his face as he look at where the signal was coming from.

"Ratchet, can you track where the signal is originating from?" asked Optimus as he and the rest of his team came over to see what the commotion was about. Even the kids also came over and were standing in the rally where they could see the monitor screen.

" Optimus… What is weird about this signal is that it is coming from the African continent, and… mmmph… that is strange since it is hard to pinpoint the signal which gives me an indication that it is coming from underground. It is probably found its way up here probably from a collapse in a cave system to due to an earthquake that hit the continent a few weeks ago ", said Ratchet, as he was looking at where the signal was popping up in the monitor. The signal would on occasions glitch but it would always stay in the same location.

" Optimus, I think we should go to where the signal is located. If the Decepticons hadn't discovered it this our chance to go over there before they have a chance at sinking their claws on it ", said Arcee as she have arrived a few moments ago from her patrol when she heard the proximity alarm go off and had heard on what was going on and had stayed silent until now.

" Wait! Before you run over there I need to know where part of Africa is the signal coming from, " said agent Fowler with a serious look on his face as he stared at Ratchet who did just that as he noticed the tone of urgency in the agent's tone.

It only took a few seconds to get the exact location of where the signal was coming from. " The signal is originating in South Africa and more specifically in Johannesburg, '' said Ratchet, and as he turned he noticed the expression in agent Fowler's face fell as he said the location which puzzled him and it would seem he wasn't the only one to notice.

" What is it, Agent Fowler? " asked Optimus as he noticed most of their human companions' expressions fell at the mention of the location of the signal.

" Optimus… that place that Ratchet mentioned is one of the places where a lot of people considered very sacred ground. I bet…you haven't heard the Cradle of Humanity?... Well is a burial site where all the bones of our ancestors are located and it is also considered the place where humans originated from about a million years ago.

That place is where it allows us to be able to go back in time and be able to understand how our species came to be. You may not have realized but there have been many other species of humans before us which we only came into existence about 200,000 years ago and they're still a lot of questions as to why they just disappeared and left us as the last species of humans to still be alive. So you may understand why a lot of people would be upset to see that ground being disrupted, " finished agent Fowler as he watched the bots for their reactions.

This took the Autobots by surprise because they have never bothered to know the rest of humanity's ancient past, and Optimus could understand why agent Fowler would not want them to go there and disrupt what was a giant burial ground.

" We understand agent Fowler and we will try not to disrupt the burial ground " promised Optimus as he knew the importance of preserving and protecting ancient relics.

He would offer the same for human relics because in his optics he respected what came before and he now knew that humans also respected relics and ancient remains of their ancestors as well.

"This would prove a perfect time to test the ground bridge and make sure that it is fully operational. Thanks to the ship that Ultra Magnus has let me scrap for parts, this ground bridge will let us travel faster than the original groundbrige back at the base" explained Ratched as he was putting the coordinates for the ground bridge.

After some moments later the ground bridge activated and the rest of the team started to transform into their alt mode. " Now in case any of you is in critical condition I can assist you on the battlefield. I have a remote groundbrige that Starscream had used to be at any place he had wanted to be and had decided to implement that '' Ratchet was informing them.

"Also, here are two extra scanners in case you decide to split off into teams. Just make sure that I do not see any of you in my med bay! Yes, Wheeljack! I am looking at you and Smokescreen because you two are for the most restless", threatened Ratchet as he brought out his big wrench and the rest of the team know how Ratchet got when they needlessly hurt themselves.

"Don't worry Hot Shot, I and the rookie would stay out of trouble. After all, wouldn't want to wake up with bedside manner", teased Wheeljack to Ratchet as he hid behind Bulkhead when Ratchet leveled a glare towards him.

"Also Ratchet, please make sure that Miko doesn't join in the fight. I know that she now has the apex armor to protect her but she still needs more training", said Bulkhead to Ratchet as Miko leveled a glare at his direction having heard what he was talking about.

"Autobots, Roll Out!" said Optimus as he and the rest of the team drove through the ground bridge leaving Ratchet and the rest of their human friends behind. Ratchet was quick to close the ground bridge having known Miko's tendency to enter the ground bridge without any of them noticing.
