Disclaimer: You've all heard this before; I don't own the Transformers, blah blah blah! However, I DO own the Elementacons and Dash/Becca.

ceestar: Ok, this is Chapter 3!! I've been meaning to use this chapter title for chapter 1, then 2, but I guess I've extended my story that it's the title for chapter 3!! Oh wait.no, this chapter is THE chapter I'm putting the title for! By the way, all you Optimus fans out there, sorry, I just don't really like Optimus, at all, I don't HATE him, or DISlike him, I just, don't LIKE him, and I wasn't about to kill the guy, and that was the only other, um, respectful way I could do it! If you guys are lucky, I might try to squeeze him in here and there. Well, better get on with the story!

"Jetfire, those ships are heading for Earth, so we need to stop them. But I'm sure you saw that we won't be able to stop them from getting there, so we need to head to Earth as well., but the thing is, I'm not going."

"I've made up my mind, and the Matrix, is yours."

"There you go, you are the new leader of all the Transformers."

Jetfire still said nothing; he just gently put the Matrix in his chest hatch, and saluted.

***

"Oh, and Hot Shot?"

"Yeah?"

"Optimus wanted you to know, you're now second in command of the Autobots."

"Alright! Thanks Optimus!"

Jetfire smiled, "yeah, thanks Optimus." Jetfire followed and the warp gate closed up.

Optimus was watching secretly from the entrance of the room, "you're more then welcome you too."

Chapter 3: Back to Earth, Old Friends Reunited

"Woah!" Sideswipe and the others walked around the old Autobot base.

It was exactly the same. Being hidden and all, the base couldn't get dirty. It'd been three years, and the base looked exactly the same, just the way they left it.

"Everything looks, the same. Well, except for the fact, Optimus isn't here." Jetfire walked around to the training bay, which like everything else, looked the same!

"Come on! Cheer up Jetfire!" Hot Shot swung his arm around Jetfire's shoulders. "Optimus wanted to stay on Cybertron. Besides, someone would've needed to watch Cybertron, and why are so glum, you're the new Commander of the Autobots!"

"I know, but I just don't feel right."

"What's not to feel right?! Look at me! I'm second in command and I'm jumping out of my wit!"

The two leading Autobots laughed, and headed for the bridge.

"Oh, but Hot Shot, can you promise me one thing?"

"Depends, what is it?"

"If I decide to go into battle, let's say alone, don't punch me in the guts."

"I'm not promising anything!" He chuckled (If you don't get it, see MORTAL COMABT I'm pretty sure it's that episode). "I need to get back at for that one! It hurt!"

At the bridge

"Great news! All the computers are online, and so is Laserbeak." Red Alert was typing away at the computer.

"Alright! Well, let's get in contact with the kids shall we?" Jetfire said, forgetting most of his worries.

"Right!"

Park

Rad rode his bike up and down the ramp. Carlos was with him, on his skateboard. Alexis was on the swings, just rocking back and forth though.

Rad jumped off the ramp and skidded in front of Alexis.

"Hey, what's up Alexis? You ok?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine, just thinking."

"About?"

"What's it to ya?" She smirked.

"Nothing! Nothing at all."

Carlos skated down to his friends, but looked up at the sky, it looked like something was flying their way.

"Hey guys! What in the world do you think that could be?" He pointed at the object, which now shone in the sunlight, it was made of metal.

"Don't know, but it looks like, a bird?" Alexis looked up at it.

Rad put his hand over his forehead to shield his eyes from the sun, but studied the object very closely, then almost fell backwards when he realized what it was.

"IT'S LASERBEAK!!"

The other two stared at him in amazement, but it was, Laserbeak came swooping down and onto Rad's open waiting palm.

"Laserbeak! What are you doing here?" He asked the small robotic pterodactyl (that's what Laserbeak looks like to me!).

"Hey Rad, what's up?"

The three teens stared at Laserbeak as if he were an alien!

"Hot Shot?"

"Yeah, hi!"

"Hey! Uh, what's going on?"

"We'll explain later, could you come to the base?"

"Um, sure!"

"Cool, see ya later!" With that, Laserbeak closed up into a little cube thingy, and Rad put him in his pocket.

"Come on guys, let's go!" Rad was on his bike all this time, and just rode off.

"Wait up dude!" Carlos jumped o his skateboard and chased after Rad.

"Guys! Wait or me!!" Alexis unfolded her scooter and tried to catch up with the boys.

At the Base

"Hi guys!" The kids put their "rides" to a side.

"Hey." The Autobots looked down at their old friends.

"You guys look, uh, different." Sideswipe bent down to look at the now much matured Rad, Carlos and Alexis.

"Yeah, well, we've grown up." Alexis put her hands her hips.

"Oh ok. I didn't know humans grew up so fast, I mean, you've changed so much, and it's only been three years."

"Well, humans have a lot shorter life span, and apart from that, we've just been the through the stage where you go the most." Rad explained.

"Um, ok?"

"Forget that dude, what's going on?" Carlos broke up the explanation, Sideswipe looked confused enough, and though they tried to hide it, so did the others.

"Hey," Rad looked up. "Where's Optimus?"

"Uh, Optimus, decided to stay on Cybertron." Jetfire got into his little pity state again.

"What? But why?" The kids yelled in union.

"He said he was getting too, old for battle."

"Oh boy!" Hot Shot walked over to Jetfire. "What did I tell you?"

The kids got confused.

"You see, Jetfire here is our new commander!"

"Alright! Congratulations Jetfire!" Rad tried to forget he was upset that Optimus wasn't here.

"Uh, thanks."

"So, who took your place for second in command?" Carlos asked.

Hot Shot did his best to hold it in.

"He is." Jetfire pointed at Hot Shot, who looked like he was about to explode!

"Uh, yeah." Hot Shot chuckled and put his hand behind his head.

"Oh, and kids, I've got some "friends" that want to see you." Red Alert pointed at a doorway, where three figures stood.

"Highwire!"

"Grindor!"

"Sureshock!"

The minicons waved their arms in excitement and ran over to the kids, who were soon squeezing the little minicons, they didn't seem to care.

Everyone just laughed for a while. It didn't take much to get Jetfire happy again.

ceestar: See what I mean?! I just don't think I can have that title, but I've been thinking about it for so long, I don' want to change it! I just had to add the Old Friends Reunited thing. I could've split it into two chapters, but that'd be too short.
