Disclaimer: I do not own the Autobots, or Decepticons mentioned. Those who created them own them. I do own the future Autobots and the future Decepticons as well Tina and Circuit, so back off for them.

...................................................................

Last time, The Autobots met a human named Tina, who had found the minicon, Circuit. What is special about this girl was that she had drawings of both the future Autobots and Decepticons. Now, how is did that happen? Guess you have to tune in and fine out.

...................................................................

"Hey, little buddy, what are you doing?" asked Grind looking over Powerline's shoulder.

It has been a week since Tina had joined them and things had been kind of slow. Scavenger was training Hot Shot and invited Omega to join them, which he was more that happy to accept. So, now they two young Autobots were training together, while Scavenger snooze away. Red Star was off on her own doing her own training with her sword like Starscream. Fast Track were fighting it out with Side-Stream, while Spitfire and Radar hanged around with the kids. This left Grind alone, so he head over to his buddy, Powerline. The lime green Autobot had been working on something he said "would help the computer systems," so he had been wrapped up in his work.

"Fast Track, I said no!" yelled Spitfire as she came in the room with Fast Track behind her.

"Please, just one" he begged.

"No, I will not go on a date with you!" she shouted turning to the silver Autobot.

Ever since Spitfire had came to stay with them at the base, Fast Track has been trying to get a date with her. It was because of the form she took, the red sport car, she should have know what would have happen taking that form. Now, she been trying to get him away from her.

"Come on, Spitfire" said Fast Track.

"If you asked one more time, I swear, I'll hurt you," she threaten.

"I think she will, Fast Track," warned Grind.

Fast Track just grin, "Just one date, Spitfire,"

That did it. Spitfire face him with a demon looked on her face. Fast Track looked at her afraid at her and slowly walked away from her, but she slowly advance on him. Then some how, she pulled out a giant mallet. Panic ran through out Fast Track's body as he ran away from the crazy fembot, as she tried to whack him with her mallet. The two quickly left the room almost running over Red Alert. He gave a strange look to Grind and Powerline as Spitfire chased Fast Track out of the room. Grind just laugh behind his faceplate while Powerline moaned.

"What just happen?" asked Red Alert.

"Just those two messing around, just like back home," said Grind.

"Too much like home if you asked me," grumble Powerline screwing a bolt into a helmet, "We should be trying to figure how a way home."

"Cool down ,little buddy," said Grind, "Don't be so serious, enjoy the time we have here, I mean how many Autobots had the chance to work with Optimus Prime."

"Powerline, what are you working on?" asked Red Alert.

"This is a interfacing system," he said holding up a white helmet that should be place on a transformer's head, with wires coming out of it, "Which is finish."

"English translation for hose who aren't genius?" said Grind confused.

"It can be use to get into the computer, so if we get a virus, we could fight it ourselves or for finding the minicon location a lot more effective," he said proud.

"That is very impressed, Powerline," said Red Alert.

Powerline smiled. His hero gave him praise, Red Alert gave him praise. He never knew why did, but he always want to be just like him, that the reason he was the team medic and the computer engineer.

"Well, now just to test try it," said Powerline, "don't take it off, or else my central conscience will be lost in cyberspace,"

"And we would we do that," laugh Grind slapping Powerline on the back, "Just be careful."

"Don't worry, this test run should take about fifteen minutes," he said putting on the helmet and flipping on a switch.

...................................................................

"Database!"

The white transformer quickly came at the sound of his name. Resurrect wanted to talk to him about a new plan he came up, but he would need Database computer skills. Database could really care less about the plans, as long he could get into the Autobots' computer systems. He being trying to get into it for years, but that stupid Autobots Powerline had stop him at every turn. Putting up the right firewall, the right code or a protective virus. What or who would he have to killed to get in.

"You called, sir," said Database bowing to Resurrect.

"I want you to hack into the Autobots' computers," said Resurrect.

"But, sir..." said Database.

"No excuses, I want the files on all the team members, strength, weakness, anything!" yelled Resurrect.

Database sighed and turned to the Decepticons main computer. Wires flew out of the compartment in his arms as he logged himself into the systems. Pretty soon, he was in cyberspace.

...................................................................

"Optimus, could I asked you something?" asked Tina.

Optimus looked from his paper work to the young human girl and Circuit. She looked kind of nervous behind the black bucket hat she was wearing now. She looked up at the giant Autobot leader and smiled.

"What is it, Tina?" he asked.

She took a deep breath and spoke again, "Have you hear of anyone name Rodimus before?"

Optimus just looked at her, which made Tina uncomfortable. She knew she shouldn't asked, it was just...she heard the name mention in her dream. She also heard the names Hot Shot and Optimus too. She just wanted answers to her questions, like why she dream of these guys, all these guys which she never met until now.

"Rodimus was a great hero on the planet Cybertron, he was the first one to work towards peace between the Autobots and Decepticons," said Optimus.

"Where is he now?" asked Tina.

"No one know, he with off to find the lost transformers in space but that was years ago, about 8 000 years" he said, "Who told you about Rodimus?"

"Um...I hear one of the Decepticons say it," she lied.

"I don't think you did," said Optimus as he picked up a piece of paper and hand it to her.

"What! How did you get this!?" asked Tina looking at her Omega drawing.

"Rad found it and brought it to me," he chuckle, "I hadn't show it to anyone."

Tina let out a sigh of relief. She didn't want many people to know of her dreams. Then it came to her, Rad had her picture! Panic flood in her heart. Quickly, she ran out of the room dragging Circuit with her. Then something happen to make her stop in her tracks. She forgot about her dream she had last night.

"Optimus, where is Powerline?" she asked.

"He in the computer room, why?" he answer.

"Um...nothing just, ah...see ya," she said quickly leaving the confused Autobot.

...................................................................

Powerline was loving this. He was flying through cyberspace, which looked a lot like space. The only difference was that there was allsorts of wired objects flying through space like models of particles floating. This was totally amazing. Powerline couldn't wait until the others try this, it was working perfect. That when things started to go wrong. A strange bit of electric stream seems to come out nowhere. Powerline was blow into a cyber rock. That when he heard someone laughing.

"Who there?" demand Powerline.

Suddenly a stream of data particles appeared in front of his face. It began to take a form, a from which shook Powerline to his spark. It was Database, what was he doing here?

"Ah, why isn't it my old foe, Powerline," he chuckle, "What are you doing in my realm?"

"Your realm? You can't call cyberspace yours it belongs to everyone," said Powerline at the Decepticon.

Database laugh at him, then Powerline was surround on all sides by copies of Databases. He turned all around him but no matter which way, there was one more Database. He didn't how Database could pull this trick off, but he knew that things weren't good for him.

"You think you could invade my space without punishment, think again," said all the Databases at once.

That when the Databases form one Database. This one charge right at Powerline. The young autobots try to defend himself, but wasn't strong enough to stop him. Database punch him square in the stomach. Powerline flinch in pain. That when a black whirl hole open behind him. The force from it was over powering him and slowly he was being pull in.

"What are you trying to prove!?" yelled Powerline.

Database chuckle, "Nothing, but I could use your body to find out,"

Another black hole appeared behind Database. He smiled behind his faceplate as he steeped in and disappear. Powerline had his jaw open as he too disappear into the hole.

...................................................................

"Powerline, where are you?" called out Tina.

Come out where ever you are! yelled Circuit.

Tina shook her head in distress. She had to find Powerline. She had this dream last night about him getting into trouble of the worst kind. She told Circuit about it and he agree that they should find Powerline right away. They finally came to the computer room. There stand Powerline taking off his helmet.

"Hey, Powerline!" she called out to he young Autobot.

He turn and face her. She looked up and got a strange evil felling off him. It was his optics, they were wrong. They looked the same but they were just cold, so cold. Tina looked at Circuit and knew he could feel it to.

"What's up?" asked Powerline.

"Uh...Oh, we were just wondering how the new invention," she said quickly.

Powerline smiled and walked over to his helmet, then let smash it to the ground, "it didn't work, piece of trash," he said walking away leaving Tina nad Circuit with their mouths open.

...................................................................

"Oh man, what was the name of the truck that hit me?" moaned Powerline as he wake up.

His optics adjusted to see that he wasn't in the base anymore, in fact it was more like a broken space ship. He looked to his right a saw the planet Earth out the window. He try to get up but found he was tied down with energon chains. Looking down at the chains he saw that his body was white, a filmier white. Powerline looked to his other side, were there was some mirror like metal. There in the metal wasn't his reflection, but Database's

"What in the name of Prime!" shouted Powerline.

That when he heard that laugh. He turned around to see Resurrect standing behind him. He had this victory grin on his face. Powerline growled at the Decepticon as he tried to break free of his bines.

"What is the point of this?" he demand.

"What else, to get to your files," said Resurrect.

"You can't, my crypts are the best," said Powerline, "Database couldn't ever get past them."

Resurrect laugh, "He can now that he in your base, with your body and you how to say it, tied up for the moment."

Powerline was silence. Resurrect was right, damn it he was right. Powerline was tied up and Database was running around in his body. This was hell! He had to get a sign out to the others, but how? He had to all his knowledge to come up with something.

............................................................................

"Guys, I think something wrong with Powerline," said Grind.

The team was talking about their young friend, Powerline. Grind had talked to Tina nad was shock d to heard what he had done to his helmet. He thought his little buddy was proud of his invention, so why would he do that. He cornered him and asked him. His answer was just it didn't work. There was no way, Powerline would give up if it didn't work, he would just kept trying, so something was up.

"I know what you mean, Grind," said Fast Track, "He didn't comment on the fact I was losing on computer chess,"

"You...play chess?" asked Side-Stream surprised.

"I was bored and the PlayStation was on the fritz," answer Fast Track as Side-Stream shook his head.

"Anyway, what about Powerline?" asked Red Star, just then the warp gate alarm started to go off.

"What going on?" asked Hot Shot running in.

Red Alert ran over to the computer and brought up the warp gate entrance on the screen. There driving through in was Powerline. Everyone, Transformers and human were shock.

"Where his going Red Alert?" asked Optimus.

"The location is Omega's old spaceship," answer Red Alert typing away at the computer.

"What in the Matrix is he doing?" asked Smokescreen.

"Well, I said we find out," said Grind as he leaded the charge to the warp gate.

He soon arrive well before anyone else and transformed into tank mode and then try to drive through the warp gate. That what he thought, but he was bound back. He was stud as an electric current ran trough his body stopping him from getting trough.

"Ouch!" he cried as he was flew back and crash into Scavenger.

"What the...?" puzzle Hot Shot.

Red Alert got close to the warp gate and saw that a stabilizer was attach to it. With this, the warp gate was sending out a electric current. This would stop anyone from getting through it.

"How are we going to follow him now?" complained Spitfire.

"Hold your circuits, I can get it in a second," said Red Alert as he fiddle around with it.

It took much more then a minute; much to Spitfire's dismay as she choke hold Circuit. After the children and the other minicons told her that it was just a figure of speak, Red Alert had finish his work. He quickly set the warp gate to it last stop and they drove in after Powerline. They soon came to the land were Omega and there's ship was still there, untouched or see by man.

"Wow, that an Autobot ship," said surprise Carlos.

"It is huge," amazed Alexis.

"Well, I 'm glad it still in one piece," said Omega, "I mean how else come we get home."

"Look, over there," pointed Red Star to see Powerline had just enter the ship.

"Come on," aid Grind as he lead the way.

The next bit of trouble came with he heard the sound of someone warping. Before he knew it, Grind had ran head first into a metal body. He flew back some and almost crash into Scavenger again.

"I don't what to make it a habit of being your wall," said Scavenger.

"Yeah, that I can understand," moaned Grind as Scavenger helped him to his feet.

The Autobots looked ahead to been face with the Decepticons. Grind had ran into Megatron, you could tell by the pissed looked on his face. Skybyte and Cyclonus were in he sky trying to hold down the laugher, while Nighthawk and Starscream hoved shaking their heads.

"What are you doing here, Megatron?" demand Optimus.

"We came to get Database's findings," laugh Megatron, "Or should I SAY Powerline's."

Everyone at that moment was confuse expect Tina and Circuit. She found out what her dream was trying to warn her about. Somehow while he was in cyberspace, Powerline and Database switch bodies. She had to tell the others.

"Optimus! That not Powerline, he switch bodies with Database!" she yelled.

"Well, aren't we a smart little human, too bad," said Megatron as he point his gun at the children.

"Oh, no you don't!" shouted a voice.

Suddenly, Powerline in Database's body had appeared on the scene. He had tackle Megatron into Recesrrt. Then he ran towards the ship. The young Autobot want his body back and once he did then he was going to smash Database's face into the wall. That was going to be sweet pay back.

He enter the ship to find Database was taking out a disk. He knew that disk contained all the files on the ship and there was no way he could tell what he could do once he read the files. He charge at Database an whack the disk out on his hand an tackle him to the ground.

"What do you think your doing?" demand Database trying to from under his body.

"I taking my body back," said Powerline.

"How? I destroy your helmet," grinned Database.

"What? You destroy my helmet! DAMN YOU!" yelled Powerline a he sock Database in the jaw. He would have done it again but Database was in his body.

"No matter, I figure out your body," said Powerline standing up.

"What do you mean, Autobot?" asked Database.

"This," said Powerline.

With that wires came from Database's body and suck themselves to Powerline's body. Database had a expression of horror on Powerline's face. This little twerp had figure out HIS body. How dare he use his circuits and systems. He tried to get them off but they were now tight. That when the wires sent an electric jolt through both their systems knocking them off line. Grind then ran inside the ship. He didn't have a clue what was going on but one thing he knew was his little buddy need him. Grind looked in the cockpit to see Powerline and Database lying on the ground. He quickly ran over check to see if he was ok.

"Powerline, speak to me," said Grind.

"Grind..." said weak Powerline.

"Yeah," said relived Grind.

"Get off my leg," said Powerline.

Grind blushed and got off. The older Autobot help the younger one to his feet just as Database got to his. Both Autobots glared at the Decepticons as they took fighting positine.

"Now, now it not fair that you two take on one of me, not very Autobot," said Database.

"He right you know Grind," said Powerline.

"Yeah," said Grind, which brought Database a smile behind his mask.

"Want to even the field?" suggested Powerline with a smile.

"I thought you never asked," said Grind.

...................................................................

"Die, Prime!" yelled out Megatron as he linked up with Leader-One and blasted at the Autobots.

"Never!" return Optimus as he shot back Megatron.

Then when they all heard this giant explosion. It seems to come from the ship area. Everyone looked to see Database flying through the air and then crashed into Nighthawk, which didn't damage him much. Out of the smoke came a large green transformer. He was chucky and with different shades of green. The legs looked heavy and were made of a dark green while the top half was a lime green and bits of yellow. It had the Autobot's symbol on his right arm, so Optimus knew it was on their side.

"Powergrind, nice of you to join the party!" yelled Fast Track to the new comer.

"Well, it nice to be here," said the bot which was a mixed of Grind and Powerline.

Megatron growled at Powergrind then at Optimus, "Next time, Prime," he said as he and the Decepticons warped out of there.

The Autobots quickly ran over and greeted Powergrind. He was huge, just as big as Optimus. "So, what are you?" asked Hot Shot before Smokescreen and Scavenger whacked him in the head.

"It ok," laugh Powergrind, "I'm the combine verse of Grind and Power- line,"

"Well, welcome to the Autobots," said Optimus.

...................................................................

Great, another combine mode. What adventure will happen next time? In the next chapter, Red Star will learn more of her past and find out where she truly belongs. What is the fembot's mysterious past and what will happen to her now? Find out next in Chapter 6: Metal to Metal, Spark to Spark.
