2028: The battle suddenly halted as a large ship slowly lowered itself
toward them. The gears lowered and the engines underneath flared up as the
rear engines cut off. It hovered a moment and then came down for a soft
landing. The two factions went toward the front where a huge gangplank was
lowering. Forge and Shell Shock, the elders of the female groups, stepped
forward. Figures inside the darkened ship could be seen.

"Be you friend or foe?" the copenhagen blue and light blue Forge
asked, fingering her guns' trigger. There was a chuckle from the forms.

"Why Murusa," said a voice as it stepped out of the shadows, "friends
of course."

Forges' jaw dropped and her yellow optics grew wide, "By Sequista.."

The aquamarine, light blue, orange, and light green form of Tetra
Reris stepped out of the crowd and cried out in joy, "Mother!"

The figure turned toward her, a loving smile on her face. The others
inside the ship came down the gangplank and other exclamations were soon
heard from both Servabot and Trechercon alike.

"But you're all dead!" Forge said.

The aquamarine, blue, and gray form of Enigma turned a patient gaze
on her old friend, "We weren't sure if our daughters would destroy one
another, so we faked our deaths to preserve the race." she turned toward
Tetra, "I am so proud of you Tetra, at least you turned out all right,
unlike your sister."

"I know about Trica, Mother. I found her and she's alive and well."
Tetra replied.

"Sweet Sequista.." Enigma gasped.

"She was rebuilt and took a new name. She is known as Electra now."
Tetra stated.

"The Trechercon Commander is my Trica?" Enigma blinked.

"Ex-Commander, Mother. She went neutral because of the twins." Tetra
reported.

"I have grandchildren?" Enigma inquired.

"Yes." Tetra nodded.

"What about you Tetra?" Enigma asked.

"No. But I do have what you could call a boyfriend." Tetra shrugged.

"I must meet him and see your sister. Gods, it's so good to have my
girls back." Enigma smiled.

The darkish red and yellow form of Rodimus Prime watched from afar, his
sky blue optics thoughtful. He hadn't heard Tetras' exclamation, but
suspected there was a relationship between her and this elderly female. He
noted the Decepticons were slowly disbursing and sighed in relief, this
unexpected company was a blessing in disguise. Tetra and the other female
made their way toward him. He was amazed at their physical similarities.

"So Tetra Reris, introduce us." he said.

"This is Enigma, my Mother. Mother, this is Rodimus Prime, my.."
Tetra began.

"Boyfriend dear? I hope you treating her well, young man." Enigma
smiled.

Rodimus nodded, noticing the others were heading out, "Let's go. The
kids are going to love this unexpected company."

"Is Electra ever going to be surprised." Tetra remarked as she gently
rapped on the door. The silver and purple form of Galvatron appeared.

"Hello, Tetra. Who is this with you?" he asked.

"Just announce I'm here." Tetra stated.

Galvatron smiled, "A surprise I take it?"

"Yes." Tetra nodded.

"Electra, Tetras' here." Galvatron called.

"I'll be there in a second." came Electra's voice.

Galvatron gestured for them to come in, "By the way, the twins are
due to visit soon."

Tetra and Enigma sat down. The silver, black, purple, and red form of
Electra entered and gasped, "By the Creators! Mothers' ghost has come to
haunt me!"

"No such thing Trica, I'm alive." Enigma stated.

A tearful Electra hugged her, "Forgive me, Mother. I was so nasty to
you."

"You are forgiven, Trica." Enigma consoled. A knock came at the door.

"Come in." Galvatron called. In walked the silver, black, purple, and
red forms of the twins. Galvatron came up to them, "We've a special
visitor."

Electra collected her composure, and said to Enigma, "Galvatron
you've met. These two are Ohmnitron and Dynae."

"My grandchildren." Enigma smiled, approaching the duo, she then
hugged them, "If only your Grandfather were still alive, then we would be
complete."

"Actually he could be. Forge, Murusa to you, is looking into the
possibility of slaves leaving our planet." Electra stated.

"I hope so my daughters, he may have been a Trechercon, but he was a
good man deep down. The statue outside this building bears a striking
resemblance to your Father."

"The statue of Optimus Prime?" Dynae asked.

"Is that his name?" Enigma inquired.

"Yes, he was the leader of the Autobots before Rodimus was."
Ohmnitron said.

"That's why I was so attracted to him." Tetra muttered.

"You were attracted to Optimus Prime?" Enigma smiled.

Electra answered, "Very much so. But he loved another and it broke
her heart to have to face that. This is why her and Rodimus are not really
a couple. Although they fake it because of the triplets."

"Triplets? You said you didn't have children." Enigma said.

"They are my adopted children. You only asked if I had my own."
Tetra shrugged.

"Children are children. I will get to see them?" Enigma queried.

"Yes." Tetra nodded.

"Good, but first there is much to catch up on." Enigma smiled.
