I forgot to mention one thing. Ben 10 True Omniverse Season 4 and Transformers Prime crossover sets after TFP Season 1 Episode 18: Metal Attraction. I have other plans for the survived characters from TFP IV: Guardians before Starscream deserted the Decepticons and the Unicron Battles.

Episode 2: Transform and Roll Out (II)

After surviving their first battle against the psychopathic rogue Cybertronian Warrior Overlord, Team Ben and their allies meet the unknown Cybertronian Allies called the Autobots, who helped and saved them from him. As the Galvan provided their hospitality to their guests, the Autobots provided their service and assistance of repairing the damages and ships that Overlord has caused.

Blaster and Tracks checking on Galvans and Plumber Troopers' injuries. Whirl, Firestar and Gears were repairing the transports and cities. Some of Autobot Troopers were patrolling and guarding the Galvan Capital City and its people while keeping their eyes out for any troubles. Others helped and assisted the Galvans with the repairs.

Ultra Magnus and Bluestreak were at Azmuth's garage bay, where they were discussing with Team Ben and the rest of their friends about Julie being Half-Cybertronia and Half-Human. Both Mr. ad Mrs. Yamamoto explained of how Julie was created. Both Autobots gave some concerns thought about it.

"This is very odd," Bluestreak commented in concern while use his scanner to scan on Julie's exposed metallic hand.

Ultra Magnus nodded in agreement, "Yes, I agree with you, Bluestreak. I'd never thought that a Protoform was able to become a hybrid form of human and Cybertronian."

"What is Protoform?" Everyone asked curiously.

"The Protoform is the building-block and first stage of Cybertronian's life cycle. Once they were given by their own sparks and unique abilities, they become life. Simply put to your understanding, humans, it's like the baby." Ultra Magnus explained calmly.

Bluestreak looked at his scanner's readings carefully, "According to my scanner, sir, the Protoform must have scanned and taken both Mr. and Mrs. Yamamoto's 'DNA'. Therefore, it formed and become Julie Yamamoto."

"What does that mean?" Julie asked in concern.

"Despite you're Cybertronian, you are still the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Yamamoto because you have their DNA," Bluestreak said calmly.

"Really?" Julie asked in surprise and hopefully. Bluestreak smiled and nodded in confirmation. She turned and gave her parents warm hug, "I may not be a human, but I know I still have my family and friends."

"Like we said before, Sakura. You will always be our daughter," Mr. Yamamoto said proudly and firmly.

Mrs. Yamamoto nodded, "Nothing will change that. We will always love you."

"This is surprising. This is the first time for me to meet Cybertronian Hybrid, unlike the Wildertronians we have met. They scanned and used their 'beast forms' as the shield to protect from being harmed by Raw Energon." Ultra Magnus commented. He hummed in concern, "It doesn't explain of how did it end up there 17 years ago."

Azmuth sighed, "My thoughts exactly, Commander. I am concern of how and why it was there in the first place."

"We are sorry that we could not provide you anything," Mr. Yamamoto said in guilt.

"It is fine, Mr. Yamamoto. Do not worry about it," Ultra Magnus assured calmly, "However, I am curious and concern why Overlord is going after her in the first place. I doubt he's interested in her."

"Maybe… Maybe not…" Rook said in concern while thinking carefully. Everyone looked at him. He explained, "There is someone, who has great interest in Julie. She's none other than Quintessa."

"Quintessa?!" Ultra Magnus and Bluestreak asked in shock and concern.

"You know her?" Grandpa Max asked.

"Know her?! She's the witch and slagging treacherous daughter to Quintus Prime, whom she murdered him and taken control of Quintessons! She even launched and led the invasion on our home for too many times! She nearly caused all planets to merge into one!" Bluestreak snapped angrily and seriously. She growled in anger, "She's genocidal monster! She'd do anything to control the universe under her, and make certain that her kind ruled it."

"Bluestreak, remain calm!" Ultra Magnus said firmly and sternly. As his subordinate calmed himself, the Commander sighed in concern, "This is the most disturbing news I've heard. Was she responsible of creating your Protoform, Julie?"

Scared and worried by Ultra Magnus's thinking, Julie also knew that she can't lie to him. She answered, "Yes, sir. She did. She called me 'Pretender Class J579'."

As Ultra Magnus hummed in concern, it makes everyone uneasy and worried. He spoke, "I see…"

"W-What are you gonna do with her?" Ben demanded, "I swear if you dare to kill her-!"

"Soldier, I advise you to watch your tone. You are speaking to the Commander of Autobot Elite Guards! Disrespect the superior officer will not be tolerated, even though you are a human!" Ultra Magnus said firmly and sternly. Though scared, Ben remained firm and brave to stand up to him. He continued, "And I was going to say that we will not harm Julie Yamamoto."

"Huh?! Really?!" Ben asked hopefully.

Ultra Magnus continued, "As far as I'm concern of her being Quintessa's creation, Julie has not done anything wrong, based on her history and today's event. And I am not familiar with this 'Pretender Class' either. She could have obeyed and followed Overlord and return to her master. Instead, she defied and fight him, standing alongside with her friends."

"Do you mean it, sir?" Julie asked hopefully. Ultra Magnus nodded in confirmation. She sighed, "Thank you so much."

"However, I am now concern to know that Quintessa's alive now after we received news that she was defeated and killed five years ago," Ultra Magnus said in concern yet serious. He sighed, "She must be dealt with."

"No kidding," Elena agreed, "Hard to tell of what she's really after now."

"Whoever she is, she just messed with wrong friend," Gwen said seriously and firmly.

"Indeed. However, I won't able to assist you on your mission," Ultra Magnus said seriously and firmly, "I must continue my mission. Seek out and assist other Autobots to fight against my enemy."

"Don't supposed that you've got other units to help us out?" Grandpa Max asked curiously.

Tetrax nodded, "We still don't know much of Quintessa. We hoped that one of yours can help us out."

"There is one person I can recommend to assist nad help you fight and stop Quintessa. He has fought her before." Ultra Magnus said firmly. Everyone looked at him curiously. He continued, "His name is Optimus Prime. He's not only my superior and Chief Commander, but also the leader of Autobots."

"Cool! You're gonna call him to come here or what?" Ben asked hopefully.

Kevin scoffed, "Yeah. And hopefully, you're not asking us to travel to Cyber Galaxy, Azmuth didn't want us go there since he thinks it's too dangerous for us to handle."

Ultra Magnus and Bluestreak were shocked and surprised by Ben's questions. They even looked at each other for the moment before looked back at them.

"Y-You mean you don't know where he is?" Bluestreak asked in surprise.

"What do you mean by that?" Gwen asked in confusion.

"They do not know." Ultra Magnus muttered in surprise. He cleared his throat, "Optimus Prime and his main forces are actually on Earth, your home planet."

"WHAT?!" Team Ben and their allies asked in shock and surprise.

Bluestreak nodded as he typed on his gauntlet's computer. He spoke, "Here. Listen to this. This was taken from 5 stellar cycles ago."

Bluestreak played Optimus Prime's message for everyone to listen:

"This is Optimus Prime. To all surviving Autobots who hear this message, I ask you to join me in a remote corner of the galaxy, on a small planet rich with Energon. I have reason to believe this world will soon become a new target of Decepticon conquest. Our team is small but strong. Join me at these coordinates so that we might plan our resistance. Safe journeys."

"And here's recently from seven orbital cycles ago," Bluestreak reported firmly while playing a new recording.

"My name is Optimus Prime, and I send this message. Though we did not choose to be of Earth, it would seem that we are here to stay. If you approach this planet with hostile intent, know this: We will defend ourselves. We will defend humanity. We will defend... our home."

Hearing what recording have revealed, everyone gasped in shock and confused, "WHAT?!"

"Optimus Prime and his main Autobots have been on Earth for 5 years?!" Ben asked in shock and disbelief.

"No way! That's impossible!" Kevin exclaimed in shock.

"How can this be?!" Gwen asked in confusion, "How come we didn't detect them?!"

"I don't know. But I am certain Optimus Prime has the reason why he did not reveal himself and our forces to you," Ultra Magnus said firmly and seriously. He continued, "If you ever find him or any Autobots, tell them 'Ultra Magnus send you'. They'll listen and not attack you. I'd recommend you to take Bluestreak and Whirl with you. The Autobots know them well."

"Much appreciated, Ultra Magnus," Max thanked Ultra Magnus.

Ultra Magnus nodded, "Your welcome. I wish you all luck on your mission."

"Thanks," Julie thanked Ultra Magnus. She sighed, "We'd better get back to Earth and find them. Hopefully, they can help us to learn more about Quintessa and what's she really up to now."

"We'll never know…"

---

After Ultra Magnus and his team helped the Galvans with the repairs of the city, the Commander of Elite Guards left the Galvan System, heading off to find and rescue rest of their units. Both Tracks, Gears and the rest of their units followed their commander for his mission. He left Blaster and Firestar behind at Galvan Prime for the native's protection, along with 20 soldiers.

Ultra Magnus has assigned both Bluestreak and Whirl to help Team Ben to seek out Optimus Prime. Both Autobots and Team Ben including Azmuth, Cooper and Elena are inside the Wrecker Ship-Type, and flying straight to the Earth. Since they have helped Galvan Prime, the Plumbers are returning home first, bringing both Mr. and Mrs. Yamamoto along as well.

While Bluestreak and Whirl were piloting the ship, Team Ben were seated on two large back seats. They even brought the Rustbucket-III and Proto-Truk at the loading bay. They're all looking around of the ship's interior design and control panel. They were shocked and amazed by it.

"Amazing…" Elena commented in surprise.

"I am so jealous of this…" Kevin grumbled in annoyance, "They seriously got some crazy gig with ship."

"Oh, this is nothing. 'Roadbuster' is standard Wrecker Ship. You should see the Ark. That is humungous cruiser ship!" Whirl commented playfully. He sighed, "Too bad that I didn't get a ride on it."

"Neither do I. We left Cybertron early because our duty is to keep the refugees safe in some colonized world," Bluestreak said firmly.

Whirl groaned, "You don't need to remind me that, pal. I was just telling them about how amazing to ride on the Ark, ya know."

"I'm just pointing out," Bluestreak pointed firmly.

"So, you know where to find Optimus Prime, right?" Julie asked hopefully, "I mean you got the messages from him. It should be easy for us to track it back to him."

"Not exactly," Bluestreak disagreed, making everyone curious and confused. He continued, "Even though I have Optimus Prime's message, I can't trace back to his location. I believed he doesn't want to risk revealing his position to anyone, unless he's willing to make contact."

"Meaning what?" Ben asked suspiciously.

Gwen explained, "He means Optimus Prime doesn't want to be found by anyone. We have to wait for him to contact us."

Bluestreak nodded, "Exactly. And truthfully, Roadbuster doesn't have the Ark's signature. It is also difficult to locate it as well. So, I turned on the homing beacon signal for Optimus Prime to receive and contact us. Hopefully, it's working."

Elena hummed thoughtfully, "Must be very serious to have this kind of secrecy."

"What's with secrets?! Aren't you guys and OP supposed to be in same group or what?!" Kevin asked in annoyance.

"We still are. Optimus Prime is taking precautions because he doesn't want the enemy used us to locate and meet him there. I believe it's the option we have," Bluestreak said firmly.

Whirl sighed, "As much as I wanted to argue about it, Blue got the point."

Kevin scoffed, "It's dumb. Plus, who the heck is the enemy?"

Rook nodded, "Yes. You're referring to the Quintessa and her kind, aren't you?"

"No. Not her. I was talking about the Decepticons," Whirl explained seriously yet fearfully, "They're the worst kind of Cybertronians you do not want to fight especially when it comes to their leader. No one can defeat or even survive him."

Bluestreak nodded, "Yeah. He's started the war, and it almost destroy Cybertron. The core was poisoned and badly damaged. We've been forced to shut down the planet's core. And we also have been forced to abandoned our home to find new one, hoping that Cybertron will recover."

Whirl sighed, "And so far, there's no news about it."

Everyone was in shock and heartbroken. Gwen apologized, "Oh my… I'm sorry."

"I don't think I want to meet them" Cooper said in fear.

"I don't think any of us wanted to, Cooper," Elena said in concern.

"I can't believe he would destroy his own home to win the war," Tetrax said in disbelief, recalling about him being responsible for destroying his home planet. He groaned, "How could he do this?!"

Rook nodded angrily while gripping his fists tightly, "Indeed. What exactly the Decepticons hope to achieve?"

Bluestreak sighed, "Truthfully, the Decepticons were low caste citizens, who are nothing but miners, laborers and workers with no rights or freedom. So, they formed their own group to protest and demand the government to remove the caste system and the corruption within, so that all Cybertronians can be treated as equals and free. But they failed. So, they resort with war against the government and Autobots. They destroyed and killed everyone and everything that stand in their way."

"They almost succeeded it…" Grandpa Max said seriously.

"Yeah. They almost did," Bluestreak confirmed seriously yet concerned. He sighed, "But thankfully, I'm glad that Optimus Prime take over the leadership of Autobots and fight back."

"Wow. This Optimus Prime sounded like a hero," Cooper commented in surprise, "What was he like?"

"I'd never met him. But my brother Prowl spoke highly of him." Bluestreak said firmly, "Prowl told me that Optimus Prime is the bravest and noblest warrior he ever met and fought besides during the war. He's always there to protect and keep both soldiers and citizens safe from harm. He's patriot and hero."

Whirl sighed, "Yeah. He inspired us all to keep standing up and never give up the fight against the Decepticons."

"Wow. Sure wish we could meet him," Ben commented in amazement.

"Well, if we ever get the chance to find him first," Kevin reminded firmly.

"I am certain he will," Azmuth said confidently. Everyone looked at him. Looking at the cockpit's window, he spotted Planet Jupiter that Roadbuster has passed by. He continued calmly, "We're getting close to Earth now. Optimus Prime will be contacting us very soon."

"I'm surprise that you decided to follow us," Kevin commented in shock.

Ben nodded in agreement, "Yeah. What made you follow us? Doesn't Thorn need you?"

"He'll be fine under Myaxx and Eunice's supervising," Azmuth answered calmly, "But I do wish to meet this Optimus Prime and learn more about his kind. I was fascinated and intrigued of Cybertronian, their culture and technology."

"I figure you would say that," Gwen commented amusingly.

"Well, when we meet him, I hope he can help me with this," Julie said firmly while looking at her hand, "Hopefully, he can remove it."

"Julie…" Ben said in concern, worried that she's not over about her being Cybertronian.

"Julie, no one's going to treat you differently," Elena insisted firmly while patted Julie's shoulder.

"I know. But if I'm Quintessa's creation, the last thing I want is hurt my family and friends," Julie said seriously and firmly. While tightened her fists, she continued, "I don't want to be controlled and manipulated. If there's a way, then I don't have to worry about her trying to reprogram or turn on you guys."

"Julie, we will never let that happen," Ben said seriously.

Elena nodded, "Ben's right. We will protect you. We won't let her get you. Count on it. Plus, I owe you for saving me."

Everyone chattered in agreement that they will help and protect Julie from being controlled by Quintessa. Julie couldn't help but smiled warmly, "Thanks guys."

As 'Roadbuster' Wrecker Ship has arrived and passed by Planet Mars, the crew then heard some beeping noise. Both Bluestreak and Whirl turned their attention to the control panel. They responded to the call now.

"Unknown Vessel, this is Autobot Outpost Omega One, identify yourself," The humble yet serious and firm voice spoke.

As he pushed the button, Bluestreak responded, "This is Lieutenant Bluestreak. I'm from Ultra Magnus's Elite Guard Brigade."

"Don't forget about me! Whirl's here too!" Whirl cheered.

"Whirl?!" The loud gruff voice asked in surprise, "You one-eyed happy trigger! Is that you?!"

Whirl gasped, "Bulkhead?! Is that you?!"

"Yup! Copterbot. It's old Bulky!" Bulkhead's voice confirmed.

Whirl laughed happily, "Aw man! Glad to hear your voice, Bulky! And also, what's with the security?"

"The rock we're on are crawling with Cons," Bulkhead's voice said seriously, "Is Jackie with you? Wheeljack said that he's gonna find and round up with the rest of Wreckers."

"No. Haven't heard from him," Whirl answered sadly, "Wait! He was here?!"

"Yeah. Four months ago," Bulkhead's voice answered happily, "So, you guys are on your way here?"

Whirl cheered, "You bet! How cool is that?! Don't suppose that you're sending the coordinates?"

"Hold up! Are we sure those two real deal?" The serious and firm female voice questioned, "Last time we let Wheeljack into our base turned out to be an impostor while the real one was caught by the Cons. We need more confirmation before we could give them the coordinates."

"Aw come on, Arcee! I know it's Whirl! He's too happy-trigger for Cons to get him," Bulkhead's voice reassured Arcee, "No way he can easily get taken down."

"Arcee's right," Strict yet grumpy old man's voice spoke, "The Decepticons almost located our base. Thank the Allspark that Wheeljack taken care of the impostor. We need to be sure that they're not impostor."

Bulkhead's voice groaned, "Not you too, Ratchet. I hate it when you're both right…"

"Aw come on!" Whirl complained.

Bluestreak hummed thoughtfully before spoke up, "Optimus, sir. If you're there, please listen. I assure you that we're real, not Decepticon Infiltrators. My brother spoke highly of you. He trusted you, stay loyal to you and follow you till the very end. I'm sure you know him very well. His name is Prowl. If you can trust him, then please believe in me as well."

There was no reply after Bluestreak's statement. Bluestreak, Whirl and the rest of Team Ben waited for the reply.

"Bluestreak, this is Optimus Prime. I do know your brother. And I've trusted him," Optimus Prime's voice answered firmly and calmly, "We will send you the landing coordinates. Safe journey. And also, we need to talk." He then gave grieve tone to speak, "It's about Prowl…"

Hearing Optimus Prime's grieve tone, Bluestreak grew concern and fear that something happened to Prowl. He shook his head, snapping back to reality. He answered, "Understood. We'll be there soon."

The communication with Autobot Outpost Omega One ended. Bluestreak sighed in concern while lying against the chair.

"Guess you weren't kidding about secrecy," Kevin commented in shock.

"I'm surprise that the Plumbers didn't detect either Autobots or Decepticons," Cooper said in surprise, "Their technology must be very advance to have themselves cloaked and hidden for a long time."

"I'm more worried if they found out that we're with you guys," Ben said in concern, "I mean if we or any humans weren't aware of Autobots and Decepticons on Earth, then I have the feeling that Optimus Prime might not be happy to have humans spotted you two."

Gwen nodded, "Ben's right. I don't think the Autobots wanted to involve humans or aliens with their war against the Decepticons. They're almost the size of houses or building blocks."

"Don't worry. He'll understand. Prime never get so emotional," Whirl commented.

"Not always…" Bluestreak disagreed. Everyone looked at him. He sighed, "I heard his grieve tone. Something happen to Prowl. I'm worried that he died before I ever get the chance to see him again."

"We can't be certain of that, you know," Whirl disagreed.

"I know. But I can't shake this feeling that he might be gone…" Bluestreak said in concern.

"One way to find out. We meet them at the rendezvous point," Grandpa Max said seriously.

"Let's hope that nothing goes wrong," Julie said firmly and determinedly, "The last thing we need is trouble."

Bluestreak nodded, "Let's hope that we don't."

Receiving the landing coordinates, Roadbuster Wrecker Ship continued its journey to Earth, meeting up with the Autobots soon…

---

Unknown to Team Ben and their Autobot Friends, their communication with Optimus Prime and his team have been intercepted and eavesdropped by another adversary faction.

Inside the command bridge of the large and main Decepticon Warship, the Communication Officer Soundwave has intercepted and reported his findings to both his lord and the rest of his allies. Though most of them were intrigued and amused of new arrival, the Lord of Decepticons has none for it as he was looking at the monitor screen, which has interesting information.

"More Autobots, huh? How intriguing." Starscream, the Second-in-Command, asked interestingly. He turned and looked at his master. He asked, "Lord Megatron, shall I prepare the squadron to capture them? They have some use to us."

"You're intending to send some infiltrator again, aren't you?" Megatron asked amusingly yet firmly, shocking Starscream. He turned to his Second-in-Command. He then questioned, "If I recollect of Soundwave's report, Makeshift failed to retrieve and reveal the location on the Autobots' headquarter and their secret sanctuary. He was killed by Wheeljack. Am I correct?"

Starscream groaned in frustration, "I was going to suggest of interrogating them to locate the hidden base or the sanctuary."

"Optimus Prime will never reveal the location of his headquarter or the secret sanctuary to any Autobots, if it involved of both refugees and human allies," Megatron said dryly and firmly while glaring at the nervous Starscream. He growled, "The next time you suggest the idea, it'd better be efficient and effective, not repetitive that we have failed before. Understand?!"

Starscream gulped while nodded fearfully, "Yes, Lord Megatron."

Soundwave approached to Megatron. His monitor screen-like face revealed the blueprint of 'Roadbuster' that has three signals within. This got both Megatron and Starscream's attention.

"What do you mean three signals?" Starscream questioned seriously and firmly, "We all heard two Autobots speaking to Optimus Prime. There wasn't third one with them."

Soundwave's screen still showing the same picture, making Megatron curious. He asked, "Are you certain of this, Soundwave?"

Soundwave nodded firmly, making Megatron chuckled a bit while the rest of Decepticons looked confuse and uncertain.

"How intriguing." Megatron remarked curiously and amusingly.

"Lord Megatron, you're not suggesting that this 'third' Cybertronian could be important figure or possess unique ability?" Starscream asked in uncertain tone.

"Perhaps, Starscream. And you are indeed right for once. They have some use to us. Best to interrogate them to learn more about the third Cybertronian" Megatron answered firmly and calmly, making Starscream pleased. He continued, "Dispatch Skywarp, Barricade and the squadron of Vehicon Troopers now. I want that ship grounded and its crew to be captured before they rendezvous with Prime."

Starscream nodded pleasingly while rubbing his hands, "Yes, my master."

Megatron turned to Soundwave as he gave the order, "Soundwave, rendezvous with them. Make sure that this unknown Cybertronian is not destroyed and safely escorted back here. Skywarp tended to get excited when it comes blowing everything up. I wish to greet and meet this new recruit personally."

Soundwave nodded firmly with his old recording playing, "As you command, Lord Megatron…"

---

After receiving the coordinates from Optimus Prime, the Roadbuster Wrecker Ship was flying straight to the destination now.

"Odd. Why would Optimus Prime send us to middle of nowhere in the desert?" Kevin asked in shock and confusion, "Why aren't we at the base or bunker?"

Bluestreak hummed, "For safe precaution, I suspect. Bulkhead did mention that this planet is crawling with the Decepticons. And his team also mention that his base got infiltrated and almost located too. They don't want to risk to be located by the enemy again. I agree with their concerns."

"And how they're gonna get us to their base?" Cooper asked curiously.

Elena nodded, "Yeah. It's not like they have some kind of teleporter device or something."

"Maybe…" Whirl shrugged.

"Well, we're almost upon the location. Be prepare to meet up with them," Grandpa Max said seriously.

Julie sighed, "Yeah. We finally get the chance to meet Optimus Prime now."

"Yeah. Let's hope nothing goes wrong," Ben said confidently.

BOOM! Team Ben and their Autobot Friends yelped in shock and surprise, feeling Raodbuster shaken as if something hit it.

"What was that?!" Ben asked in concern and fear.

"Obviously, we're under attacked," Rook stated firmly and seriously.

"From whom?!" Gwen asked in concern.

Hearing loud booming noise, everyone looked up and found blackish-purplish F15 Jet and couple of dark purplish Cybertronian Jets-like.

"The Decepticons!" Whirl exclaimed in shock and concern.

"Your bad guys?!" Kevin asked for confirmation,

"Yeah. They must've intercepted our communication! They know where we're going!" Bluestreak exclaimed in concern. He then spotted the black-purplish jet turned around while leading his squadron at Roadbuster. He hissed, "Skywarp's leading the Vehicon Squadron!"

"Skywarp?!" Tetrax asked in concern.

"One of Megatron's generals and top enforcer for leading the Seeker Armada." Bluestreak explained firmly and seriously, "He may be dumb, but he's very tough and strong warrior. You do not wanna mess with him!"

"Sounds familiar…" Gwen commented.

Ben nodded in agreement, "Definitely."

"Hey! Are you talking about me again?" Kevin asked in annoyance.

BOOM! Roadbuster Wrecker Ship got blasted. This time, its engines got hit and destroyed. Both Bluestreak and Whirl grunted in concern as they quickly grabbed and pulled out the steering wheel hard.

"Engines' been hit!" Whirl exclaimed in concern.

"Everyone, buckle up! We're going down!" Bluestreak shouted in concern, "Brace for impact!"

Everyone quickly get on seats before buckled the seat belt tightly. Ben, Julie, Kevin, Gwen and Rook sat on the left seat. Grandpa Max, Tetrax, Cooper, Elena and Azmuth sat on right seat.

As everyone was holding tight, the damaged Roadbuster Wrecker Ship descended and dived straight to the ground until it made a large impact against the large rock. They're all got knocked out a bit. They're all groaned and moaned painfully, slowly recovered from the impact.

"Everyone, alright?" Bluestreak asked in concern. Everyone chattered and muttered painfully. He smiled in relief. He then heard some loud banging against the door. He hissed, "We've got company!"

As he expected, the door has been breached. The figure revealed himself to be Skywarp, who is armed with both Big Bang Mace and Bazooka Cannon. He chuckled evilly and wildly.

"Here's Skywarp!" Skywarp exclaimed happily.

Armed with heavy shotgun-like, Whirl growled, "And say hello to my little friend, Con!"

And just before Skywarp could do anything, Whirl blasted his shotgun at the blackish-purplish colored Seeker Warrior, throwing him out of the ship. Both him and Bluestreak armed with their blasters.

Turning to his human allies, Bluestreak ordered, "Stay here! Do not come out, no matter what!"

"What?! You're kidding me?!" Ben asked in disbelief, making everyone muttered in annoyance. He showed his Omnitrix, "In case if you've forgotten, I have the Omnitrix while most of us are aliens and pros! We're not defenseless!"

"I know! But we are dealing with the Decepticons. They're our sworn enemies you mustn't underestimated, just like Overlord you have fought! I won't risk your lives for this fight especially Julie's. I fear they might be coming after her." Bluestreak said firmly while loaded up his blaster. His statement annoyed Ben 10 and his friends. He continued, "If we ran into trouble, then you can help. For the moment, stand down and do not move."

Ben 10 and the rest of his friends looked at each other for the moment. As much as they hated the idea of standing down and do nothing, Bluestreak has the point. They don't want to put Julie at risk. They nodded firmly.

Bluestreak smiled in relief to see his friends agreed. Both him and Whirl exited out of the Roadbuster. They both charged straight at Skywarp and Vehicon Troopers now. And at the same time, Team Ben watched the battlefield while hiding inside the ship.

"Guys, did you noticed something about those troopers? They looked very familiar." Gwen asked curiously while looking at the Vehicon Troopers firing at Bluestreak.

Look closely at Vehicon Troopers, Grandpa Max said seriously, "Because they are, Gwen. Those 'Vehicon Troopers' are the same invaders we fought in Bellwood from 5 years ago. Then, that means-!"

Ben concluded, "The Decepticons are responsible of using the Vehicon Troopers and invaded the Earth until Optimus Prime and his Autobots stopped them, right?"

"How did you know?!" Kevin asked in surprise.

"We fought them, duh," Ben answered teasingly.

Julie hummed in concern while patted Ship, "I hope Optimus Prime and his guys get here as soon as possible. There's no telling when the Big Bad shows up."

"What? Their leader? Have you met him before?" Rook asked curiously. Everyone shook their heads. He shrugged, "Me neither. My home was never invaded by Decepticons before."

"Let's keep an eye out and be ready for anything," Ben said seriously and firmly, "I have the feeling the worse is yet to come."

Vehicon Trooeprs fired their blasters at Bluestreak and Whirl, who barely and swiftly dodged and evaded the blasts. Armed with his Bazooka Cannon, Skywarp blasted at both of them. Whirl quickly transformed into his Cybertronian Helicopter to fly while lowering down his crane hook for Bluestreak to grab. While the Autobots were flying, they both fired and blasted their blasters at couple of Vehicon Troopers. Most of them got blasted and injured while others got killed by headshot and sparks.

Skywarp grumbled angrily as he transformed into his F15 Fighting Jet mode to fly and chased after Whirl and Bluestreak. While the Autobot Helicopter did his best of flying and evading the attack, his partner blasted his blaster at the Decepticon Enforcer, who swiftly and quickly dodge the attacks while firing the Bazooka Cannons at them both. While dodging and evading the barrage of blasts, one of them hit the helicopter's tail blades, making him going out of control. They both slammed to the ground hard.

As both Whirl and Bluestreak groaned in pain and slowly recovered from the surprise attacks, Skywarp transformed into his robot mode as he armed and swung his Big Bang Mace on them both. Both of them dodged the attacks before kicked him off by guts. Recovered from the attack, he made a loud whistle, gesturing the rest of his Vehicon Troopers to charge and attack both of them as well. Both Bluestreak and Whirl dodged and evaded the attacks while swinging, slamming and striking their punches and kicks, and even blasting their blasters at the Vehicon Troopers. And at the same time, they also battled Skywarp, who swung his Big Bang Mace at them both. They both dodged and evaded the attacks for couple of times. As they moved back a bit, the Decepticon Enforcer armed and fired his Bazooka Cannons at them. Though they dodged the blasts thrice, both Bluestreak and Whirl got hit by the attacks. Both of them grunted a bit struggled to get up.

Skywarp armed with his twin Big Bang Mace, preparing to finish his enemies off once and for all. His Vehicon Troopers followed him from behind. As they're almost close to them, Whirl quickly swung his swinging blades, decapitating the Vehicon Troopers. He even blasted his blasters at them off. And at the same time, Bluestreak quickly armed and swung his sword to cut down the maces in two. He then quickly gave couple of punches against Skywarp's chest before punched him by face to the ground. And just before the Seeker could do anything, both Autobots armed and aimed their blasters at him.

"Scrap! I hate losing!" Skywarp grumbled angrily.

"Get used to it, Con," Whirl commented playfully.

Bluestreak nodded firmly while aimed his sword at Skywarp, "You're beaten! I suggest surrender."

Spotting something behind, Skywarp smirked, "I wouldn't bet on it, Auto-Jerks."

And just before the Autobots could question, they heard some loud siren noise. They both turned to their back and found a Ford Mustang Police Car and more of dark purplish sport cars are charging straight at them. Just before he could do anything, it transformed into Barricade. He armed and swung his Black Belt Nunchucks, hitting both Bluestreak and Whirl's face hard. And at the same time, Skywarp quickly punched and knocked them out to the ground.

"Thanks! I could have taken them by myself," Skywarp commented.

Barricade scoffed while rolled his eyes in annoyance, "So, I've heard. Troopers, apprehend them! We're expecting the guest of honor."

The sport cars transformed into their robot modes. Vehicon Troopers quickly grabbed and apprehended both Bluestreak and Whirl. Ben and his team were in shock and concern to see it.

"That's not good," Kevin said in concern.

Suddenly, the portal was activated and opened, revealing Soundwave to emerge out from it. Tetrax hissed in concern, "No. That's the worse!"

"Soundwave! My silent Ninjabot! Good to see you again, buddy!" Skywarp cheered while held his high-five hand up. Soundwave walked and passed him by while shrugged off his hand. He groaned, "You're no fun as always, you know that?"

"Soundwave…" Barricade firmly greeted Soundwave. The Decepticon Communication Officer has his monitor screen revealed the blueprint of Roadbuster with three signals within. He nodded firmly. He turned and glared at Bluestreak, "Well, are you gonna answer that, Autobot?"

"About what?" Bluestreak asked seriously, pretending not knowing about Team Ben in Roadbuster.

Barricade groaned while grabbed and held tightly on Bluestreak's neck, "Don't toy with me, pal. We know you have another Cybertronian in your ship. Tell us. Who or what is it?"

Skywarp chuckled while tapping his Big Bang Mace, "Yeah. Or else, bad cop wanna mess your pretty face. One way or another, we'll gonna get our answer,"

Whirl growled, "Even if we knew it, we wouldn't tell you anything."

"Don't toy with me, pal…" Soundwave's played Barricade's recording voice. His back detached and launched blackish rounded pod-like. It transformed into blackish Cybertronian Jaguar-like Ravage. It growled a bit. He then pointed at the Roadbuster. He then played Skywarp's recording voice, "One way or another, we'll gonna get our answer."

Skywarp groaned, "I sure wish he stopped using our voice, and used his instead."

Barricade scoffed while crossed his arms, "Soundwave prefer silence and action speaks louder than words. And not to mention, those Autobots gave him hell of some scars. This made him very personal to take down all of Autobots."

Ravage gave loud snarling noise as he went straight to Roadbuster Wrecker Ship. The rest of his allies remained behind while watching over Bluestreak and Whirl.

Team Ben spotted the Cybertronian Jaguar is approaching to the ship. They know that they can't hide inside the ship for long because if he's like an animal, then it can smell and locate them. They all quickly armed themselves for the fight.

As soon as Ravage entered Roadbuster Wrecker Ship, Wildmutt gave a loud roar as he pounced and pushed the robotic jaguar out of the ship. Both of them fought fiercely and wildly by swinging and slamming their paws and claws, and even tried to snarl and bite on each other like dog and cat fight.

"Huh?! What the-?!" Skywarp asked in shock and surprise.

"Vulpimancer?! What the hell is that hairy mutt here?!" Barricade demanded in shock. He turned and glared at Bluestreak and Whirl, "What else are you hiding inside?!"

Bluestreak gave a sly smirk, "The backup."

And just before the Decepticon Troopers could do anything, two to three Vehicon Troopers got their heads blasted and shot out. This alerted the Decepticons armed and aimed their weapon at their enemies. Gwen, in her Lucky Girl, unleashed Interdamoto Ilaborator at Barricade, Skywarp and five Vehicon Troopers. This allowed both Cooper and Elena to help hacking and opening the cuffs, allowed Bluestreak and Whirl free.

As the Decepticons got recovered, they then fired and blasted their blasters at Bluestreak and Whirl. Tetrax slammed his fist on the ground, summoning the largest crystals-like defense to hold off the blasts. This allowed Max, Cooper and Elena fired their blasters at all of them. Vehicon Troopers dodged and evaded the attacks while firing back at them, though some got hit by head, shoulder and bottom part.

Both Bluestreak and Whirl came out and attacked both Barricade and Skywarp. Bluestreak and Barricade fought and battled each other through Metallikato Skills while dodging and evading the attacks for couple of times. Whirl and Skywarp transformed into their aircraft mode to fly off while firing blasts and missiles on each other. Four of them are equally matched with both martial art skills and shooting skills.

Soundwave summoned and launched his twin tentacles at Rook and his team. Luckily, Lucky Girl and Metal Kevin jumped and held on the tentacles, struggling and holding Soundwave for the moment. Armorstrike and Rook used both Hyper Cannon and Proto-Tool's Missile Launcher on his chest, weakening him to drop down. And at the same time, Tetrax fired his Diamond Gatling Blasters on Soundwave's face. This repelled and knocked him off to the ground. Just before they could do anything, Soundwave's screen made beeping noise as he unleashed powerful sonic wave in knocking them out. They tried to get up from the ground. He launched tentacles to slam and ram Lucky Girl and her friends to the ground. He then unleashed powerful electrical shocks on them, knocking them out.

Lucky Girl, Metal Kevin and Armorstrike powered down into their normal mode. All of them groaned and moaned painfully. Detected and located the unknown Cybertronian Signal in Julie, Soundwave has his tentacle to coil and wrap her up tightly. His monitor screen then scanned on her whole body to check if she's the one. And at the same time, he has another tentacle to jab and suck her blood out. He then spilled it out into the canister.

Barricade and Skywarp continued battling both Bluestreak and Whirl. The Cybertronian Helicopter turned his attention and fired his blasters on Skywarp, who swiftly and firmly dodged the blasts. He then used his Bazooka Cannons to fire and hit Whirl's back, causing him to go out of control. And at the same time, Barricade and Bluestreak continued battling swiftly with each other for couple of rounds. The Autobot tried to thrust a punch on him, the Decepticon Enforcer dodged down before kicked him off. Whirl dropped and landed on Bluestreak to the ground. They both turned and fired their Shotgun Buster and Bazooka Cannon at the crystallized defense, knocking Max and his team out.

Wildmutt struggled to fight off Ravage, who has proven to be strong and savage beast for him clawing and scarring the former for too many times. Wildmutt panted painfully and weakly. He twisted his Omnitrix before slammed it. He transformed into his dark crimson colored Ultimate Wildmutt with scary beastly facial, white sharped spikes and scorpion's stinger. And just before robotic jaguar could do anything, the beast-like alien pounced and attacked the jaguar. Both of them began another fierce fight. This time, Ultimate Wildmutt is gaining the upperhand and able to did some damages to Ravage, who still able to fight, though received more scars and dents. Both of them gave loud roar as they charged and rammed at each other hard. To his shock, Ravage received a large dent on his head. Ultimate Wildmutt unleashed powerful yet thunderous roar, dampening and damaging him further before swung and struck his spear-like tail on the jaguar's chest for five times before thrusting his tail on his opponent against the wall hard.

"And stay down, doggy!" Ultimate Wildmutt growled at Ravage. He then heard Julie's scream in pain. He turned and looked back as he found Soundwave's tentacle is tightening coil on her. He roared, "Let! Her! Go!"

Soundwave continued tightening his grip on Julie again, making her scream in pain. This shocked and worried Ultimate Wildmutt. He can't bear to see her to get hurt. He slammed his Omnitrix, returning to his normal form. The injured Ravage approached to his master. He bowed down in shame. Instead of slapping him, Soundwave gently patted his head, making him panted in relief. Ravage transformed into his deployer pod mode, jumping and attaching to Soundwave's back.

"I change back! Let her go!" Ben demanded firmly. The portal appeared behind him, Soundwave turned and marched towards it. He shouted, "We had a deal, Slender Con! Let her go now!"

Soundwave played his lord's recording voice, "Make sure that this unknown Cybertronian is not destroyed and safely escorted back here. I wish to greet and meet this new recruit personally."

Ben and Julie gasped in shock and concern to hear what Soundwave has declared. She grunted while struggling to get off Soundwave's coiled tentacle, "No! Y-You can't!"

"The hell I would let your boss have her!" Ben snapped angrily as he activated and readied his Omnitrix, "Get ready to taste Humungosaur!"

And just before Ben could slam his Omnitrix, Soundwave swung and slammed him by his gut. He was thrown straight against the Roadbuster's wall. This knocked him out of conscience before falling to the ground hard.

"Ben! Nooooooo!" Julie screamed in concern. She groaned in pain while hlaring at Soundwave, "Let me go now!"

Soundwave tightened his grip on Julie, making her suffered and screamed in pain. Refusing to be defeated and get taken away, she has to do something to escape and help her friends. She screamed in anger and determination as her body glowed brightly with electrical shocks. Her eyes glowed in pinkish color. Her hands suddenly formed pinkish electrical energy balls-like.

Turned and glared at Soundwave, Julie screamed in anger and fury as she unleashed full power of her electrical pinkish beam straight at Soundwave's chest, repelling and knocking him. And at the same time, she got herself freed and dropped to the ground hard. She groaned in pain, slowly recovered and got up while her eyes revealed normal. And to her surprise, she found Soundwave got knocked and dropped to the ground hard.

"What the?! How did I do that?!" Julie asked in surprise. She gasped in realization, "Ben!"

Julie ran towards Ben. She did her best to wake him up, but no avail as he's still out of conscience. Hearing the large footstep, she turned back and found Soundwave has recovered and got up. Just he could do anything, he got his back blasted. And some of Decepticon Troopers also got blasted as well.

Soundwave turned back and found Arcee kicked on his face before hit on his chest. Both her and Soundwave engaged a duel. Just before Barricade and Skywarp could do anything, Bulkhead and Bumblebee charged and engaged them. And at the same time, couple of Vehicon Troopers got shot and blasted by Optimus Prime, Ironhide and Jazz. Three of them even engaged the Decepticon Troopers at once.

The Autobots have easily defeated the Vehicon Troopers. Bulkhead swung and slammed his mace at Skywarp's face. Bumblebee grabbed and thrown Barricade over straight to the canyon's walls. Soundwave and Arcee engaged a fierce battle through Circuit Su for few times. He then launched and struck his tentacles at her, but she grabbed and held them. She then charged and nudged her knee straight at his face before kicking him off.

Seeing their troops were defeated; Soundwave, Barricade and Skywarp quickly escaped to the portal. Optimus Prime and the rest of his team regrouped at once.

"Wow…" Julie said in surprise.

"Took care the last of them!" Bulkhead cheered happily.

Bumblebee beeped and nodded in agreement, "Yeah! We sure show them what we're made of especially when they're messing with one of ours!"

"Good job, Autobots." Optimus Prime commented warmly while retracted his battle mask. He turned and looked at Ironhide and Jazz. He smiled, "Thank you for coming and providing the assistance, old friends."

Ironhide smiled, "You can always count on us."

"Yup! What are friends for," Jazz commented.

"Optimus, we've got a problem," Arcee said seriously yet concern while pointed at Julie and her unconscious friends. She continued, "We've got human witness."

Bulkhead groaned a bit, "Oh boy. Here we go again."

Bumblebee facefaulted while beeped in frustration, "We really need to be careful."

Arcee sighed, "You think?"

"Still what are the humans doing here?" Ironhide asked suspiciously and annoyingly. He continued, "Pretty sure that they weren't here. We've already checked before we came here."

"That would be my fault, sir," Bluestreak said weakly. After regaining their conscience, he and Whirl got up from the ground. He continued, "Please forgive us. We did not mean to put them in grave danger."

Whirl nodded in agreement, "Yeah. But we can explain especially they wanted to meet you too."

"I'm sure you do…" Optimus Prime said firmly. He turned his attention on Julie. He approached towards her. He kneed down to the ground while looking at her. He asked humbly and gently, "Are you alright? Were you harm?"

"N-No, sir. I'm fine." Julie answered calmly. She then asked, "Are you Optimus Prime?"

Team Prime was in shock and surprised by Julie's question. Optimus Prime remained calm yet firm and serious. He answered humbly, "Yes, I am."

"Thank goodness that we finally found you," Julie said in relief. She removed her sleeves, revealing her exposed Cybertronian Hand to Team Prime. They were in shock and surprised. She continued, "I need your help about this."

Coming out from the Roadbuster Wrecker Ship, Azmuth arrived and stood beside Julie as he spoke, "Hopefully, you can help us."

"What the-?!" Team Prime asked in shock and disbelief.

"We will help you…" Optimus Prime answered calmly and firmly, "But not here. We will return to our base for discussion and tend your friends' wounds. We have our medic to assist you."

Though wanted answers to her problem, Julie knew that her friends need medical treatment after they have put up the fight against the Decepticons. She nodded firmly and seriously.

Optimus Prime nodded in relief. He then contacted his base, "Ratchet, send the Groundbridge. We're returning home now. Request June's assistance for medical treatment. We have injured humans."

As commanded, the Groundbridge Portal is activated and opened in front of Autobots, Julie and the rest of her friends. She became nervous and worried as she hoped that she can get some help and answer about changing her Cybertronian genetic and prevented herself being turned on her friends.

---

Ben groaned in pain as he slowly opened his eyes and waking up. He found himself in some kind of bunker's patient ward. He was now on the patient bed. Still regaining his conscience, he slowly remembered of something important.

Quickly got up, Ben exclaimed in concern, "Julie!"

Ben grunted in pain while feeling a headache. As he tried to get off the bed, he almost fell down. He was held by June Darby and her son Jack.

"Easy there," June spoke firmly as she and her son put Ben back on the patient bed. She continued while checking and analyzing on his condition, "You've just recovered from a minor concussion. I advise you to rest for a while."

Ben groaned a bit while rubbing his head, "Thanks. But I'll be fine. I survive the worse than this."

"Right. Surviving the Decepticon Troopers including Soundwave and his Minicons attacks isn't bad enough?" Jack asked curiously and amusingly. He scoffed a bit, "You must be crazy than I heard of for a superhero."

"Well. You'd be surprise." Ben commented playfully. Realized of what the boy has said, he asked, "Wait! You know the Decepticons? Who's Soundwave? And what's Minicons?"

"Yeah. I've seen them in action before especially when you partner to an Autobot," Jack explained, "And Soundwave is the Decepticon Communication Officer. The Minicons are the size of human beings. Soundwave's are worse and dangerous as he is."

Ben was stunned by Jack's explanation. He continued, "Wow. I didn't know you knew about Cybertronians. I thought no humans knew about them."

"While some of them especially they're involved with the first war from 5 years ago," Jack answered playfully and calmly. He cleared his throat, "I'm Jack Darby. This is my mom, June Darby."

"I'm Ben Tennyson," Ben introduced himself.

"We've heard about you. Agent Fowler complained about you," June answered playfully.

"Agent Fowler?" Ben asked in surprise, "He knows about the Bots?"

Jack nodded, "Yeah. He's the liaison between Bots and United Nation but mostly United States."

"Well, that explains a lot about him demanding us to back off when it comes to Quintessa. Grandpa is so gonna get mad now about this." Ben muttered in annoyance. After mentioning about his grandfather, he realized of something, "Grandpa! Julie! My friends! Are they alright?! Where are they?!"

June shushed Ben calmly, "Easy, Ben. It's okay. They're alright. They're now talking with Optimus Prime."

"What? Optimus Prime? Here?" Ben asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Jack answered, "We can take you there now."

Ben nodded firmly, "Yeah. I need to check on Julie, just hope she's alright."

"Don't worry. She's alright. Ratchet's checking on her," June answered calmly, "I'm kinda surprise that there's a Cybertronian-Human. I mean I know that I know robots can turn into anything but didn't expect a human."

Ben chuckled a bit, "Trust me. I've seen much crazier thing than this like meeting the guy controlled the Nanites and some magical ponies too."

"So, are we," Jack agreed. He yelped in surprise, "Magical ponies? They're real?"

---

June and Jack guided and led Ben to the command center. Upon their arrival, they've found Autobots were discussing and chatting with Team Ben, who were on the catwalk. Miko and Raf were there as well. And at the same time, Ratchet was also scanning on Julie's body, checking and analyzing on her condition. He even took the canister of her blood sample.

Using the lift; Ben, June and Jack have gotten to the top of catwalk. Everyone stopped their discussion. They turned their attention on their friends' arrival.

Miko gasped, "I don't believe it! It's him! The Ben 10! He's really here!"

Raf nodded, "Yeah. I've always loved his Grey Matter, Brainstorm, Gravattack and Feedback. They're the best aliens I've seen."

Miko scoffed, "Yeah right. Four Arms and Humungousaur are the best. I also kinda like Ripjaws for ripping everything apart."

"Hey guys!" Ben greeted playfully yet warmly. His friends greeted back. He asked, "How's everyone around here?"

"We're fine," Gwen answered calmly.

Kevin nodded, "Yeah. We've survived the worse than this. You know that, right?"

Ben nodded, "Yeah. I do. Good thing that I didn't get the worst headache."

"Good to see you alright, Ben," Grandpa Max said in relief. He turned to June, "Thanks for the treatment. I feel much better."

"It's my pleasure," June said calmly. She then gave stern looks, "And also, tried not to get involved with physical activity too much. It will not only strain and tired your muscle, but also cause some heart ache too."

Grandpa Max groaned, "Do I have to?"

"Well, I'll put you on retirement house shelter, that will prevent you doing something so reckless and irresponsible! By force if I have to!" June said strictly and sternly while crossed her arms. She continued, "And I thought Johnny and Will are the most reckless soldiers to deal with."

Grandpa Max was stoked by June's stern comments. Everyone looked surprised and amazed of how she's strict with her job and concerns for his health.

"Burn…" Miko joked amusingly.

"Miko!" Raf scolded Miko sternly, "Respect the elders."

Ben turned and looked at Optimus Prime and his team, who approached him. He then asked, "I'm guessing you're Optimus Prime."

Optimus Prime nodded firmly, "Yes, I am."

Looked at the rest of Team Prime, Ben asked, "These must be your teammates?"

"Yes," Optimus Prime answered firmly yet sincerely, "You've already met Bluestreak and Whirl. Ironhide is my oldest friend and the weapon specialist. Jazz is my lieutenant for responsible to watch over Autobot's Secret Sanctuary. Ratchet is the medical officer. Arcee is my right-hand officer. Bulkhead is my warrior. Bumblebee is my scout. Jack, Miko, Raf and June are also part of my team and responsible."

Ben was surprised, "Wow. Never thought you see the humans as part of your team than just the Bots."

"Ever since we came to Earth, we've learned a lot from our human friends. But to me, I've learn something important yet special aspect of human concept. Something greater than an army." Optimus Prime said calmly yet sincerely and humbly. He smiled while looking at his teammates, "For years, every member in Team Prime and other Autobots are my family. Wouldn't you agree?"

Thinking of what Optimus Prime has said and the adventure he has been to, Ben smiled warmly, "Yeah, I do, sir. It's time you meet mine."

Optimus Prime smiled warmly, "I've already have met your family. It is an honor to meet you, Ben Tennyson."

"Wait! He knows?" Ben asked in surprise. The rest of his team nodded firmly. He continued, "Wow. How?"

"We've watched the lots of news," Bulkhead explained, "This Harangue Guy is such a jerk and a liar. He can't even admit that he's wrong about you. Not to mention, he's crazy obsessed about finding our existence. Almost reminded of someone nut job."

Ironhide hummed in disagreement while crossed his arms, "Well, Harangue's not wrong about him and his friends' recklessness and careless."

"Hey!" Ben and his team exclaimed in annoyance, feeling offended.

"Technically, it is true," Rook agreed.

"It's true. You almost got your tailpipe kicked by Soundwave," Bulkhead joked, earning Ben to glare at him. He cleared his throat, "Sorry. Didn't mean to make you guys look bad."

"Still, fighting Soundwave is the dumbest thing you've done, unless you're Cybertronian," Ironhide commented strictly and seriously. He then crossed his arms, "That con is tough and skilled too since he was a gladiator."

"Yeah. I don't have a Cybertronian Form," Ben said in disappointment. Heard a loud beeping noise, he looked down and found Omnitrix glowed in yellowish. It blasted out its beam on stoked Bumblebee. It scanned on him for the moment before deactivated. He whistled a bit, "Correction. Now I have it."

"Wow. What's with the light show?" Jazz asked in surprise.

"Think it can do to me too? Sure like to try it," Bulkhead asked curiously, "Could be fun."

Arcee gave the glare at nervous Ben, "I swear to you if that thing ever hurt one of my family-!"

"The Omnitrix's only scanning Bumblebee's DNA, therefore, he is not harm or damaged. Nothing more and nothing less," Azmuth interrupted firmly. He approached and checked on Ben's Omnitrix. He sighed with a smile, "I've always hoped I get the hands on Cybertronian's DNA, so I can study and understand its biological function."

"For Cybertronian, it's CNA and not DNA," Bluestreak corrected Azmuth. He then explained, "Its full name is Cyber Nucleic Acid. Kinda almost like Human or any aliens' DNA."

"Wow. Just what we need. Another big headed scientist, who wants to study. Yeah," Arcee commented sarcastically.

"I'm kinda surprise that you know about us," Ben commented in surprise, "I thought you were too busy fighting war against the Decepticons."

"That maybe so," Optimus Prime admitted firmly yet shamefully. He sighed, "However, focusing on a prolonged war against Decepticons is not a good health and it often driven us mad especially when we're outnumbered, outmatched, and possessed very limited resources and fuel to fight them. It's always best to take a break and calm down until everyone's at full strength for another day. But to me, I'd prefer to spend with my family and friends."

Ben and his friends were amazed and surprised by Optimus Prime's reasons of not focusing too much on war.

"That's something…" Kevin commented.

"Such compassionate, humble and noble leader…" Azmuth agreed, "Over centuries in my life, I have never met any hero like you, sir."

Optimus Prime shook his head humbly, "No, sir. I merely performed my duty and responsible to watch over and protect my family and friends. I will not let them be harmed, under my watch."

"Wow. Guess you weren't kidding about seeing your team as your family. You're quite protective and caring towards your team. Almost like you're a father to them," Gwen said in surprise.

"He sure acts like one," Arcee agreed.

Bumblebee beeped happily, "Yeah. Optimus would never let anything happen to us. We'll do the same for him. After all, we're family."

Everyone was confused by Bumblebee's beep. Raf explained, "Bee said they protect each other like a family."

Grandpa Max smiled, "Yeah. He did say that. I'm with him too. Team Ben is also like a family too."

Ratchet returned to his group while putting Julie on the catwalk. Ben turned and looked at Julie, who has the bandage on her left shoulder. She then approached to him.

"You okay?" Ben asked firmly. Julie nodded a bit. He scoffed a bit, "Must be frustrated that you have to go through with checkups about your condition."

Julie shrugged, "Well. You know what they said. Third's time the charm. Hopefully, they can help me out to do something about this."

Ratchet then looked at the computer screen, which possessed the information of Julie's DNA, endoskeleton, abilities and even memories of her lifetime. He hummed curiously, "Curious. I've seen many Cybertronians transformed into various forms of transports and even possessed unique abilities. But this is unexpected. A Cybertronian being a human. Who knew?"

Bluestreak nodded in agreement, "Yeah. I have the same reaction as yours, Ratchet. I've confirmed that even she's Cybertronian, she's still daughter to Nabuyasu and Amy Yamamoto."

"I still can't believe that she's Quintessa's creation," Ratchet said in shock and disbelief. Arcee made a clear throat while pointed at Julie, alerting him. He hissed in concern, "No offense."

Julie sighed, "None taken."

"Regardless of her origin, she chose her own path rather than obey and following her command. She has her own free will and rights." Optimus Prime said firmly yet calmly, "I've always believed that freedom is the right of all Sentient Beings, no matter where they come from and who they are. She maybe Cybertronian, Julie is still a human to her own family and friends."

Team Ben was surprised yet amazed and relieved by how humble and noble Optimus Prime is especially he did not mistreat or even threaten Julie, despite her true origin or even came from Quintessa.

"Incredible…" Rook said in surprise.

"Wow. That is deep…" Kevin commented.

Cooper nodded, "No kidding. I get why many Autobots including you two are inspired by him. He's almost like Abraham Lincoln."

"No kidding," Elena commented in surprise.

"Still, I don't suppose that you can…" Julie said hopefully, "I don't know put some kind of firewall in my mind, making sure that no one tried to manipulate or reprogram me?"

"I would not recommend to do so," Ratchet disagreed while looking at the computer's monitor screen. Everyone was confused yet curious. He continued, "Our bodies may be mechanical and spare parts. But it is biology, not technology or mainframe. And even if I did put the firewall devise in anyone's cerebrum including yours, it could risk damages to their mind or worse destroying it at once. It was never done before."

"So, you can't help me out?" Julie asked in disappointment.

"I'm sorry. It's too risky to put that devise on your brain," Ratchet said in concern. He hummed thoughtfully, "Unless I have more information about your Protoform, I cannot do anything to help you."

Julie hummed thoughtfully, "What about changing my genetic code? I mean, Ben helped heal and cure most of humans from Xenocites or even healed Highbreed."

"Too dangerous," Azmuth disagreed, "The Omnitrix managed to repair and heal Highbreeds' and Humans' genetic codes because they were badly damaged. Yours is not. You were born as Cybertronian with your parents' DNA. There is no damage to it. I'm sorry, Julie. Changing your genetic code could either damage your body or kill you. I will not risk your life!"

Julie became upset and disappointed about her predicament. She sighed, "So, in the end, Quintessa or Dcepticons could come and reprogram me anytime she wanted. Nothing can stop her now."

"Not gonna happen." Ben said seriously and firmly, "I won't allow it."

"I agreed with Ben. We will not let Quintessa take your life and your freedom away. You have friends and family. And you loved them very much." Optimus Prime said firmly and determinedly, "If we combined our effort and teamwork together, we can stop her for good."

Ben smirked, "I was thinking the same thing."

Suddenly, proximity alarm was sounded. Both Team Ben and Autobots were alerted by it. They turned and looked at the computer screen, revealing an incoming transport heading to Autobot Outpost Omega One.

"Who's that?" Kevin asked curiously and firmly.

"Agent Fowler," Bulkhead answered dryly. He sighed, "Looks like he's coming here to berate us about the mess again."

"Well, we were fighting the Decepticons in the middle of desert, you know," Arcee remarked dryly, "We could attract unwanted attention."

"Let him come," Grandpa Max said firmly. Everyone was surprised. He continued, "I would like to have a word with him."

As the lift made beeping noise, it opened and revealed angry and annoyed Agent Fowler. He emerged and approached to the Autobots as he began berating about the situation that his robotic allies have gotten into.

"Prime!" Agent Fowler shouted angrily, "I received word about some kind of explosion happen in the middle of desert. You've got explaining to do!"

"I'm sure he does, Agent Fowler," Grandpa Max said firmly and seriously, attracting Agent Fowler to turn to him and his team. He looked shock and concern. He continued, "You and Colonel Rozum got explanation about keeping giant Transformers from the Plumbers. And how did it happen!"

Agent Fowler groaned while facefaulted, "Well, I'll be dib!"

---

Back to Nemesis…

"You failed your missions?!" Megatron demanded in anger and disbelief. Soundwave, Barricade and Skywarp reported to him when they returned to the warship. He growled furiously, "How could my three best warriors including Soundwave could be defeated by some mere humans?!"

Touching his right eye-patch, Breakdown scoffed a bit, "On contrary, I don't feel very bad about my tailpipe get kicked by mere humans."

"Or me feeling bad about failing most of the mission," Starscream added amusingly.

Knockout sighed, "Indeed. It feels good that someone's get the heat. What a relief."

Megatron glared at Soundwave, Barricade and Skywarp. He demanded, "What do you have to say about this?!"

"I make no excuse, Lord Megatron," Barricade said firmly and seriously while looking down in shame, "Whatever punishment you have, I will accept it."

Skywarp yelped as he quivered and groveled in fear, "C'mon, Boss! Please don't do this to me! It really wasn't my fault! I really tried my best! If only you have just let me blow them out first, then we wouldn't have failed!" Megatron growled at him. He realized his mistakes. He yelled in fear while groveled more, "I didn't mean to disrespect you! I didn't mean it! Please forgive me! Forgive me! Stupid me! Stupid me!"

"By the Pits of Kaon, I wish Lugnut was around to silence him!" Megatron groaned in annoyance. He turned and looked at Soundwave, "Well…"

Soundwave's monitor screen activated and revealed the information and pictures regarding of Julie Yamamoto being Cybertronian, her family background, her history, her career as both tennis player, superhero Armorstrike and also member of Team Ben, as well as in relationship with Ben. What surprised the Lord of Decepticons is that Galvanic Mechamorph merged and bonded with Julie to become Armorstrike and also the confrontation with Quintessa, and the name she was called.

"Pretender Class J579? How intriguing…" Megatron remarked amusingly While studying Soundwave's information, he hummed curiously and amusingly, "A new Cybertronian subspecies that is capable of transforming and pretending to be a human, just like Headmaster and Targetmaster. This is certainly full of surprises."

"What do you intend to do with this abomination, my lord?" Starscream asked curiously.

"Abomination, Starscream?" Megatron asked in surprise yet amusement. His second-in-command nodded. He then chuckled amusingly, gained his officers' stoked. He sighed, "Starscream, with such subspecies like her has some great use to us. Imagine if the human leaders were replaced by our own Decepticon Pretenders, they will control and govern the world under my command. With my command…"

"They will do whatever you requested such as deposing and destroying the Autobots!" Starscream exclaimed in surprise and realization, shocking the rest of his officers. He hummed amusingly yet thoughtfully, "Very devious and deceptive plan you've come up, my lord."

"Henceforth why we were called the 'Decepticons'," Knockout commented amusingly.

"If we can locate and capture this Pretender, we can reverse engineer her building blocks and ability to blend in as humans. We can mass produced the perfect infiltrators and spies – the Decepticon Pretender," Megatron said firmly and proudly. He turned and looked at Starscream and Soundwave, "Starscream, Soundwave, you both will accompany me for this mission."

"Us?" Starscream asked in surprise.

"Indeed. I wish to witness her ability personally. Starscream, you shall handle negotiation. Soundwave, you will record everything for our engineers and technicians to study and mass produce our own Pretenders." Megatron said firmly. He called out, "General Blackout, come forth!"

The command bridge's doors opened as Blackout entered the chamber. He bowed to the ground before his master.

"You summon me, Lord Megatron?" Blackout asked firmly.

"Yes. I have a special task for you," Megatron said firmly. Soundwave revealed his monitor screen of Julie's parents. He continued with a sly smirk, "It's time for the family reunion with the Pretender."

Blackout nodded firmly, "As you wish, my lord…"

Agent Fowler explained the situation including the First Great Battle of Earth to Team Ben. Autobots and their human allies remained there and listened. As expected, Team Ben including Grandpa Max were annoyed and irritated that the government has once again hidden another truth of their involvement with the aliens.

"Prowl… No…" Bluestreak said in shock and hurt. He sighed in pain, "I cannot believe he is gone."

Optimus Prime approached and patted Bluestreak gently, "I am sorry, Bluestreak. I truly am. Prowl is the bravest warrior and best leader of Protectorbots."

Bluestreak took a deep breath before turned and looked at Optimus Prime, "Thank you, sir. Allow me to join your cause. Not for revenge, but to honor his memory. I know Prowl. He rather wanted me to fight in his name, than recklessly charge against the enemies."

Optimus Prime smiled warmly, "Prowl would be proud of you."

"Wow… That's something…" Kevin commented in surprise.

Gwen nodded, "I've always wondered what kind of planet we just saw from 5 years ago. Never thought that Megatron would gambled to bring Cybertron here, so he can harvest Energon for his home planet."

"There are number of catastrophe could happen if Decepticons won," Cooper said in concern.

Ratchet nodded in agreement while crossed his arms, "Yes. We think the same thing."

Grandpa Max turned and glared at Agent Fowler, "As if hiding the truth behind Area 51 isn't bad enough, you and Colonel Rozum hid another one involved of the Autobot-Dcepticon War! We could have helped them!"

Agent Fowler sighed, "Believe me, Mr. Tennyson. All of us wanted to help the Bots to drive the Cons out. But Optimus refused and won't allow our military to be involved of it as long as we kept the civilians out of danger and away from the war. We've come to the agreement."

Grandpa Max sighed, "But still…"

"Magister Tennyson, we appreciate you wish to assist us to battle against the Decepticons. But I feared battling with them would cause the catastrophic to your forces than ours. I will not allow it," Optimus Prime said firmly and humbly. He sighed, "I have seen many soldiers died in ours war. I will not risk that again."

Though disappointed with Optimus Prime rejected his alliance, Grandpa Max knew he was right about battling the Decepticons. He sighed, "I can't argue you with that."

Optimus Prime turned and looked at Agent Fowler, "Agent Fowler, I understand that Colonel Rozum did what is necessary to protect his country but imprisoning the prisoners for decades is something I cannot tolerate. They should be handled and dealt by proper authority to decide their fates."

"It's not my decision to make, Prime. The military and Air Force is very distrustful and suspicious with the Plumbers for their handling aliens and supernatural. Some they considered be dealt with extreme," Agent Fowler explained in concern.

Grandpa Max protested, "Plumbers are intergalactic and supernatural law enforcement, not judges and jury."

"I agree with your sentimental, Tennyson," Optimus Prime agreed firmly.

"But like I said, it's not my decision," Agent Fowler said firmly and calmly. He turned and looked at Julie, "Never thought that you're a robot like them. No offense."

"None taken. Even though I'm a Cybertronian, I'm still Yamamoto by blood and DNA," Julie said firmly. She gasped in realization, "Speaking of Yamamoto, I need to call my parents. I have to let them know that I'm fine and I've found what I was looking for."

"Young lady, I don't think it's good idea," Agent Fowler said firmly.

"And also, we have security precaution as well," Optimus Prime explained, "The silo walls isolated the radio waves."

"My parents know what I am. The Plumbers know about the Cybertronians since Overlord attacked Galvan Prime. And we also met Ultra Magnus and his team too." Julie said firmly and seriously, "You can trust us. We won't let anyone know about this."

Ben nodded, "Yeah. I mean I've hide my identity of being all aliens for almost six years."

"They have the point," Gwen agreed.

Optimus Prime hummed calmly and firmly, "I suppose it will not hurt to contact your parents. Rafael, provide Julie the assistance."

"Got it," Raf said happily. Julie provided her parents' contact number. He then typed on his computer's screen, accessing and calling her parents now. He smiled, "There you go. You'll be in contact with your parents now."

"Thanks," Julie said happily.

"Wow. For 8-years-old boy, you're quite smart handling and dealing with computer tech," Elena commented in surprise.

Cooper nodded in amazement, "Yeah. And I thought we both are the youngest genius at science and computer whiz."

"Thanks. And also, I'm 12," Raf corrected.

"Believe me. Raf's amazing especially helping us blow up the Space Bridge and makings sure Zombiecons are gone for good," Jack commented.

Miko nodded proudly, "I've always said that size doesn't matter because we've got big brains, big guts and big hearts to help our Bots save the day."

"Well. You got big hearing problem about staying out of trouble," Jack commented dryly.

Miko growled, "Hey, watch it, smart guy!"

BEEP! Julie got her attention to the computer, realizing that it's connected to her parents' phone now. Everyone turned and looked at her.

Julie smiled, "Hey, Otosan, Okasan! Just want to let you know that I'm alright and make some new friends. And-!"

"Sakura! Whatever happen, don't come after us!" Mr. Yamamoto exclaimed frantically, "Stay with Ben! Stay with them!"

Mrs. Yamamoto screamed in fear, "Oh no! They're coming!"

Everyone hear Julie's parents screamed in worry and fear. More shouts, blasts and explosion also sounded as well. This make them uneasy and worried especially Julie became scared to call her parents frantically. The scream and gunfire have been silence, making everyone nervous.

Suddenly, everyone heard the cackling laughter. Autobots and their human allies were alerted and worried while Team Ben became concern about it.

"Well, hello there, Pretender Class J579…" Starscream's voice spoke, shocking everyone else.

"Starscream!" Arcee exclaimed angrily.

"That's not good…" Bulkhead said in concern.

Julie growled angrily, "What did you do to my parents, whoever you are?! I swear if you lay a claw on them-!"

"Calm yourself, half-breed. They're fine for now," Starscream's answered calmly and amusingly, "However, if you do not surrender yourself to us, then I cannot guarantee their lives."

Everyone was shocked and concerned by Starscream's proposal. Julie became worried and uneasy about it.

Starscream chuckled, "Think about my proposal as long as you want to, J579. But I cannot guarantee Lord Megatron's patient. He really wants to meet and recruit you personally to Decepticon Cause. You've attracted the attention of our Lord and Master of Decepticons. I recommend not to take too long."

Scared and hurt to think of something bad happen to her parents, Julie hissed angrily, "Fine. Where's the location?"

"I'm sending it now. I am certain the Autobots knew about this place well. The place where we interrogated young Danny for the information we need," Starscream's voice answered pleasingly, shocking the Autobots. The computer's screen received the coordinates. He continued, "If you're listening as well, Autobots, I'd recommend not to come up with daring plan to stop us. In fact, Lord Megatron wish you Prime to be the one to deliver the Pretender to us personally. To witness you humiliated for giving up the human to us is dastardly amusing! I love watching you're all squirmed!"

Starscream gave the last loud cackling laughter before went to silenced it. The map revealed the coordinates, where Megatron and Decepticons are waiting. Julie grunted in frustration while holding tight grip.

"Not this again…" Jack grunted angrily.

June hissed, "How far the Cons willing to use hostage situation?! Have they no shame?!"

Ironhide sighed, "Unlikely. They don't care as long as they win."

"Damn it…" Tetrax cursed angrily, "They won't get away with this."

"Julie, you can't do this!" Ben exclaimed in concern.

"Ben's right!" Gwen agreed, "I may not know much about the Decepticons, but I know they can't be trusted."

"Then, what do you want me to do? Abandon them?!" Julie asked angrily before cried tearfully, "They're my family. I don't want to lose them again!"

"You won't," Optimus Prime said firmly and seriously. Everyone turned and looked at him. He narrowed his determined eyes, "We will rescue them. We will work together to do this."

"You really think so?" Tetrax asked curiously.

Optimus Prime nodded, "Indeed. But we must time it correctly or else, we risk her parents…"

"What can we do?" Ben asked firmly.

---

The Groundbridge Portal appeared at the outskirt of abandoned factory, Los Angeles. Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Arcee, Ben, Julie in her Armorstrike Mode, and Rook emerged out from it. Three of them groaned sickly like they're about to throw up.

"What's up with that portal?!" Ben asked in annoyance.

Rook nodded, "I do not feel very good when we go through the teleportation portal."

"You guys are lucky that you're all unconscious to get across…" Julie grumbled. Her Mechamorp Suit made wiggling shake. She groaned, "Ship and I couldn't stand with it."

"You'll get used to it," Arcee commented playfully, "Ask our partners."

Bumblebee looked at the abandoned factory. He beeped, "Never thought that we'd come back here again. I'd never forgotten what they've done to Danny."

Arcee sighed, "Yeah. I still can't get over my sister's death. I wish I was able to save her in time…"

"Do not dwell in the past, Arcee. It is not what Elita would wanted," Optimus Prime said humbly.

Arcee nodded firmly, "Understood…"

"Let's hope we can pull this up. Megatron might know about Team Ben as well," Ironhide said in concern.

"Have faith, old friend. Based on our technologies and resources we have, we might able to succeed if we timed correctly," Optimus Prime said firmly and calmly. He turned and looked at Bumblebee, "Whatever happens, Bumblebee, securing her and her parents is our utmost priority."

Bumblebee saluted, "You got it! No worry, Julie. We'll get you and your family out of here. I won't let them get hurt."

"Thanks, Bumblebee." Julie thanked in relief.

"How did you know what he said?" Ben asked in surprise.

Julie smiled, "I'm Cybertronian, remember?"

"Right… Can't wait to try mine…" Ben commented playfully.

"Hopefully, he doesn't end up to be Bumblebee's twin brother," Arcee commented amusingly.

---

Both Team Ben and Team Prime marched into the factory. Upon entering and arriving to the middle of empty factory; they found Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave stood before them.

"I'm guessing that's the Big Bad himself," Ben asked curiously. Autobots nodded firmly in confirmation. He scoffed, "I thought he'd be taller and tougher. This guy almost reminded me of Vilgax."

"Kid. You do not want to mess with Megatron. He's stronger and deadlier than he looks," Ironhide said firmly and seriously, "Not many Autobots could survive his wrath. Optimus's the only one, who can stop him."

"Is he really that strong and powerful?!" Rook asked in concern and feared.

Bumblebee beeped while holding and touching his throat, "Yeah. He also took my voice…"

"T-That's horrible!" Armorstrike exclaimed in shock, "No wonder you have to make beeping noise."

"What?! You mean he lost his voice?!" Ben asked in surprise.

"What? You thought he can't understand 'English'?" Arcee asked in annoyance, making Ben a bit embarrassed. She sighed, "Every Cybertronians know and talk any kind of language via downloading the internet's dozen information and languages. But for Bumblebee's case, he has prosthetic voice box to communicate with us except the Humans."

"I'm a bit surprise that Raf's able to understand him. Must be special." Armorstrike commented in surprise.

Arcee smiled a bit, "I'm also surprised as well. But I'm impressed that there's someone else can understand him."

"Autobtos, we're close to our targets. Be prepared," Optimus Prime said firmly and seriously, "And above else, do not forget the plan and not to engage Megatron."

"That includes you, Ben," Ironhide said seriously and firmly.

"Hey! What's that supposed to be mean?!" Ben asked in annoyance.

"You tend to jump into action and pick a fight with the enemy, knowing we have already planned it," Rook answered dryly. Ben glared at him. He cleared his throat, "Well, it's the truth."

Both Team Prime and Team Ben stood before Megatron and his commanders. Both sides are staring and glaring at each other firmly.

"Optimus Prime, it's been a while. I see you're fully recovered from Cyber Plague, based on what your scout has told me…" Megatron taunted amusingly. He then looked at Ben, Armorstrike and Rook. He chuckled, "So, these must be Pretender Class J579 and her lackeys. It's quite an honor to meet you. However, I was expecting you to be fearsome warrior than some high school girl."

"Lackey?! He did not insult me that?!" Ben exclaimed angrily.

Rook sighed, "Indeed, he did, Ben. Technically, he does not consider you to be threat to him."

Ben groaned, "Thanks for the support, genius…"

Armorstrike glared at Megatron, "You know what I sick the most?! It's that people getting the wrong name! My real name is Julie Sakura Yamamoto! And give me back my parents, you warmonger!"

Megatron smirked amusingly as he snapped his fingers. The rooftop broke into pieces as Blackout dived and landed to the ground hard. He then revealed the canister of Julie's parents. Team Prime and Team Ben armed themselves for the fight.

"Let them go!" Armorstrike demanded angrily while armed with her twin blasters.

Starscream gave a cackling laughter while gesturing 'don't do this' finger, "I wouldn't try to do that if I were you, Half-Breed. Megatron never show mercy if you dare to defy him."

Optimus Prime gave his narrowing glare at Megatron, "Megatron, release her parents now! Then, I shall give what you wanted."

"Then, are you willing to sacrifice the human child to me?" Megatron asked amusingly. He chuckled, "How ironic. Since Cybertron has gone dark and our arrival to this planet, you're willing to give your life to protect it and its kind. And now, you have to give the daughter to save her parents."

Ben readied his Omnitrix, "Wanna try that again, Megatron? Rath would like to give you the piece of his mind!"

"No! I have a better proposition," Optimus Prime said firmly. He held the crimson metallic USB Drive device-like. He continued, "In this drive, we have the complete information of Julie's Protoform, her powers and her connection with Galvanic Mechamorph. This would spare time to complete your research and began mass producing your own infiltrators. It is what you wanted, am I right?"

Megatron smirked, "Impressive, Optimus. You know me too well. But tell me, Optimus, are you willing to give up such important information to me? Knowing that one day, I would kidnap one of your allies and replace them with Pretenders to turn on you? Are you willing to take the chance?"

Optimus Prime sighed a bit, "I am no fool to believe that the Humans will not turn and betray us for fearing our kind. But I will never betray my spark, my belief and my morality to sacrifice the lives to protect the information. I would not cross that line again."

Megatron smirked, "So true. Your morality. Your belief. Your faith. They are the reason why you could never achieve victory. You will never defeat me."

"I do not intend to," Optimus Prime said firmly, "Do we have the agreement?"

Though wanted the information badly, Megatron has to remain on his guard that the Autobots might deceive him with false information. He also recalled that Optimus Prime is incapable of deception, and unwilling to put civilians and friends at risk. Nevertheless, he has the plan.

"Very well. I accept it." Megatron agreed firmly. He continued, "But instead of you, I would like Julie to do the honor since her parents are our hostages…"

"It has to be a trick…" Ironhide said suspiciously.

"Don't do it, Julie," Arcee insisted, "If you get too close."

"I know. But I can't risk my parents' lives." Armorstrike said firmly, "We already have the plan. Like you said, be prepared."

Optimus Prime nodded firmly, "I shall accompany you, just in case if Megatron attempt to attack us when we turn our back."

Ben groaned, "I still don't like it…"

Optimus Prime gave the USB Drive to Armorstrike. They both marched towards Megatron firmly and slowly. Ironhide, Arcee and Bumblebee deployed their weapons, just in case if the Decepticons tried to deceive them again.

Approaching to the enemies, Blackout handed over both canisters of Mr. and Mrs. Yamamoto to Optimus Prime. Armorstrike then passed the USB Drive to Megatron. Instead of getting the drive, Soundwave quickly launched his tentacle to coil up her. Megatron quickly swung and knocked Optimus Prime and two hostages back to his team.

"Thank you for delivering them both to me," Megatron said firmly and calmly. Looking at both Armorstrike and USB Drive, he smirked, "I still believe that I need the original, just in case if the information is misled."

The Groundbridge Portal was activated as Barricade, Skywarp, Knockout and Breakdown emerged out while leading 30 Vehicon Troopers. They surrounded Team Prime and Team Ben.

Ironhide groaned, "I knew it! Decepticon Trick!"

"Should have known he wouldn't let us off that easily," Arcee remarked dryly.

"Let her go, Megatron!" Ben snapped angrily, but was held by Rook. He screamed, "Let me go, Rook!"

"Ben, calm down!" Rook insisted firmly.

"We have the agreement, Megatron!" Optimus Prime said firmly, "You should know that I'm not skilled in deception and trickery."

Megatron smirked, "I know. But you should know better that I do not trust my enemy easily as you did. Pity that you're not prepare for this."

Optimus Prime narrowed his firm eyes, "Wrong, Megatron. I was prepared. And we didn't come alone."

And just before Megatron could question, countless Nanites appeared and attacked the Decepticons. Most of productive machinery activated and attacked them. They all yelled in shock and pain while shooting and waving the attackers off. Jazz, Bluestreak and Bulkhead crashed through the windows as their vehicle modes charged and rammed most of the Decepticons.

And at the same time, Jazz ejected both Metal Kevin and Lucky Girl out. Using his swords-like, he cut Soundwave's tentacle, freeing Julie and cutting USB Drive in two from the grip. She quickly flew and caught her friend in time. And at the same time, Lucky Girl unleashed her Tempestus Impaetus on the Decepticons, weakening them more. Emerged out from Bulkhead's SUV Hummer, Max used and fired his Tachyon Cannon while Tetrax unleashed his Diamond Gatling Blasters at Megatron, making him drop to his knee.

Both Team Ben and Team Prime regrouped and prepared to fight against Megatron and his Decepticons. Whirl also arrived on the battlefield. Their enemies are recovering from the surprise attacks.

Recovered, Megatron gave a loud amusing laughter, shocking the group. He smirked, "You've actually managed to hurt me. Impressive. There were none of humans or Autobots have ever harm me till today. No wonder Soundwave struggled against you. You have fought and defeated titans, didn't you?"

"Well duh," Metal Kevin scoffed.

"The bigger they are, the harder they fall!" Ben commented.

Optimus Prime aimed his Revolver Prime Blaster at Megatron, "Stand down, Megatron!"

"I think not," Megatron disagreed, "Decepticons Attack! I want that Pretender and the drive to be retrieved!"

"You heard your master! Attack!" Starscream commanded firmly.

"Whirl, take Julie and her parents to safety zone! Rendezvous with Agent Fowler now! We will hold the line!" Optimus Prime said firmly.

Whirl nodded, "You got it!"

Opened up the canister, Whirl let Mr. and Mrs. Yamamoto out from it. He then transformed into his Cybertronian Helicopter while putting them inside.

"Julie, let's go! We gotta get out of here!" Whirl exclaimed in concern.

"No! Get them out first!" Armorstrike said firmly.

"Do not be fooloish, Julie! Megatron is coming after you!" Optimus Prime said in concern, "Go with him now!"

Armrostrike narrowed her determined eyes while armed with her blasters, "Sorry, Optimus. I'm not leaving my team behind. And also, I want to give Megatron piece of my mind!"

Optimus Prime sighed, "I do not like the idea of putting you in danger. But I cannot force you. Stay with your friends. Do not try to fight Megatron by yourself! He's too strong for you!"

Julie nodded firmly, "Yes, sir."

Autobots charged and engaged the Decepticons through fighting and blasting guns at each other. And at the same time, Team Ben assisted and helped their robotic friends to fight the enemy off.

Optimus Prime engaged Megatron in their fierce sword fighting. Bumblebee fought his archrival Barricade. Ironhide and Blackout fought against each other by shooting their heavy guns and punching fists. Bulkhead and Breakdown swung and slammed their maces and hammers against each other. Bluestreak battled with Skywarp. Arcee, Starscream and Soundwave fought through the martial arts of Circuit Su. Jazz and Knockout were shooting their blasters at each other. And at the same time, they were battling with the Vehicon Troopers.

Team Ben also helped their friends to fight off the enemy troops as well. Ben then transformed into XLR8 to run around and confuse them, and even making them to dizzy before knocking each other hard. He then turned into Eatle as he taken couple of bites on metals and materials before firing laser beam from the horn. He transformed into Humungousaur to fight off Vehicon Troopers through brute strength. Armorstrike flew around the enemy troopers as she fired and blasted her twin blasters and missiles at them. Lucky Girl unleashed Turbo, Merchucus Veridits and Tempestus Impaetus on Vehicon Troopers. Managed to absorbed dead Vehicon Trooper's metal material, Cybertronian Metal Kevin charged as he swung and cut down his enemy troopers' legs and hands. Max, Tetrax, Rook, Cooper and Elena formed up as they fired their blasters at the enemy troopers.

Bumblebee and Bulkhead struggled to fight off and defeat their rivals, but the latter were swift and quick to dodge and evade the attacks while swinging their punches and weapon on the former for couple of times. Cornered, they both have back-to-back while facing them. Just as Barricade and Breakdown charged and about to slam their weapons on their rivals, Bulkhead and Bumblebee dodged on opposite sides. The Decepticons landed the punches on each other's faces before they get punched by the Autobots. They both got knocked out. Bulkhead and Bumblebee gave each other a high-five.

Ironhide and Jazz hidden behind the large crater as they both fired their blasters at Blackout and Knockout, who fired back at them as well. While still blasting on each other, Megatron's Hound emerged out from his hidings. He grabbed and held cargo as the shield to block and deflect the blasts while charging and ramming both Autobots out. And at the same time, Knockout came and gave them both his electrical staff's shocking on them. Jazz struggled but Ironhide managed to endure the pain while grabbing and thrusting Knockout's staff on Blackout's neck. And then he punched on the mad doctor's face before throwing at the Decepticon Brute. Jazz quickly used his Grappling Hook to launch and bring down the large crate on them both to the ground.

Bluestreak fired his blaster at Skywarp, in his jet mode, was flying around while firing back at him. Whenever he got cornered, the Seeker quickly teleported and reappeared to fire his Bazooka Cannon at the Autobot Lieutenant, who did his best to dodge and evade the attacks. Arcee struggled to fight off Soundwave and Starscream, who have proven to swift, quick and strong to fight back. Seeing Arcee struggled, Bluestreak has to end the fight with Skywarp. As the purple Seeker continued teleporting around, the Autobot Lieutenant waited for the chance. Skywarp reappeared above Starscream and Soundwave, Bluestreak took his chance and sniped on the Seeker's wing, making him fell upon his allies. Arcee quickly punched three Decepticons before kicked them off. She turned and looked at her ally, giving her thumbs up. He smiled back at her.

Optimus Prime and Megatron continued swinging and slamming their blades against each other for couple of rounds. As they crossed their blades for the moment, they glared at each other. The Decepticon Lord quickly gave a punch on the Autobot Leader before swinging more punches against him before kicked him off. He struggled to get up. He quickly tried to fire his blaster at the enemy commander, who dodged and evaded the attacks. He dashed and rammed the Autobot Leader off. Just before Optimus Prime could recover, Megatron quickly slammed some punches against him, though he managed to endure and fight back. At the end, Megatron fired his Fusion Cannon to blaster Optimus Prime away from him.

Just before Megatron could finish Optimus Prime, he has his back being blasted and hit. He turned and found most of Vehicon Troopers were defeated and killed. Most of his officers were defeated. Both Autobots and Team Ben charged and attacked him. The Lord of Decepticon charged as he easily punched and kicked the Autobots of. He then blasted his Fusion Cannon at Team Ben, throwing them aside hard.

To his shock and surprise, Ben hit his Omnitrix as he has transformed into his dark greenish Cybertronian Warrior with black striped around his body, winged doors-like on his back and he has youthful looks wearing samurai's helmet-like with V-shape. His Omnitrix symbol located on the chest. He charged and slammed a powerful punch on Megatron's face. The Lord of Decepticons managed to stand on the ground.

Touching his lips, Megatron found some Energon leaked. He scoffed, "So, you took the form of Cybertronian? Intriguing yet pathetic."

"I'm just warming up!" Cybertronian Ben exclaimed firmly. He yelled out, "Look out! Here I come! Decimus Prime's gonna kick your ass!"

Decimus Prime gave the loud battle cry as he charged at Megatron, who remained standing still and patiently. As the Cybertronian Warrior thrust a punch at the Decepticon Lord, the latter dodged and evaded the attacks for three times. He quickly swung his elbow at him by guts. He then swung and slammed on a powerful punch on face before kicked him off. Megatron then blasted his Fusion Cannon at Decimus Prime's chest. He yelled in pain, feeling the blasts hitting on his chest armor. He grunted before falling to his knees.

"As I've said before. 'Pathetic'. You may have the form of Cybertronian, but you lack training and understanding its capability and power." Megatron commented dryly. He then armed with his Fusion Cannon, aiming at Decimus Prime, "Normally, I wouldn't be bother about exterminating humans since they're weakling. But for your case, better to get rid of you than letting you live."

Decimus Prime grunted as he tried to get up but Megatron quickly kicked and slammed him to the ground.

Megatron snarled, "And also, you dare called yourself 'Prime'?! Arrogant fool! Prime is the rank and leader of the Autobots, not a name! You have no right to earn that title! You disgraceful insect!"

Armorstrike grunted as she slowly got up from the ground. She looked up and found Megatron's preparing to fire his Fusion Cannon at Decimus Prime.

"Noooooooo!" Armorstrike shouted in concern, "Don't kill him!"

Armorstrike screamed out loud angrily and firmly. Her body began wildly and crazily charging up with pinkish electrical energy surging around. Her eyes blanked into bright white light. Her hands are now filled with pinkish energy balls-like. She then threw energy balls at Megatron's face, pushing him away from Decimus Prime.

"What?!" Megatron asked in shock and surprise.

"Back away from my boyfriend, you monster!" Armorstrike snapped angrily. Her hands transformed into armored yet advanced blasters with Mechamorph Pattern. She growled, "You want power! You got them!"

Armorstrike screamed angrily as she unleashed the barrage of pinkish laser blasts at Megatron, who barely yet swiftly dodge and evade them for couple of times. She then charged as she armed with sharper long twin swords with pinkish electrical energy glowing. She charged and swung them at the Lord of Decepticons, who dodge and evade the attacks.

"Incredible…" Megatron commented in surprise yet amusing. He chuckled, "This Pretender is quite intriguing specimen! J579, you are indeed Quintessa's weapon of mass destruction! A perfect weapon to destroy her enemies!"

Armorstrike screamed angrily, "Stop calling me that!"

Armrostrike screamed out angrily and loudly as her body glowed brightly and out of controllable. Her eyes slowly turned into dark reddish. Her chest opened up and revealed a core-like cannon, which was charging up with electrical energy. Ship beeped in fear and worry as he tried to controlled her body to stop the attack but Armorstrike's anger has proven too strong and powerful for him to handle.

Instead of fear and concern, Megatron chucked amusingly while watching Armorstrike's powering up her core-like cannon. He truly wanted to see how strong and deadly the Pretender has become.

Decimus Prime grunted as he slowly got up from the ground. He turned and found Armorstrike's angry and charging up her core-like cannon. He has seen it before. He's worried and scared as he knew where it leads to.

"Julie! Don't! Don't do it!" Decimus Prime shouted in concern. He hit his Omnitrix as he turned back to Ben. He quickly moved in front of Armorstrike. He shouted and pleaded, "Please, listen to me! Don't let your anger blind you! If you do that, then you will lose yourself and almost kill someone! I know that because I did this before! Please, don't do it! Don't lose control of your power."

As much as she wanted to destroy Megatron for putting her parents in danger and almost kill her friends, Armorstrike knew Ben was right because the last thing she want is her hurting and killing her own family. She slowly calmed herself down, powering down her uncontrollable electrical energy and deactivating her weapons as well. She has returned to normal.

"Ben…" Armorstrike said shamefully yet sadly. She then hugged Ben, "I'm sorry, Ben."

Ben sighed while patted her, "It's alright, Julie. It's okay."

"How disappointing…" Megatron remarked dryly, "I was looking forward for it. I will have to rip you both apart, so my engineers can rework and reprogram two perfect Decepticon Pretenders."

Ben and Armorstrike yelped in concern and worry as they quickly moved away from Megatron, who is armed with his Fusion Cannon. And just before the Lord of Decepticons could do fire, he heard a loud honking. He turned back and found a red-blue colored truck rammed him off.

The truck transformed into Optimus Prime. He then launched couple of punches at Megatron, who also fought back as well. Both of them gave each other powerful punch, knocking them off. The Lord of Decepticons charged and thrust his unsheathed blade at Autobot Leader, who quickly deflect and knock it aside before kicked him off a bit. Held both fists together, Optimus Prime slammed it right at the Megatron's chest, throwing him off straight against the old generator.

Starscream and the rest of his officers grunted painfully, slowly recovered and getting up from the ground. He then found Team Prime and Team Ben armed themselves for the fight against the Decepticons.

Starscream panicked, "Soundwave, activate Groundbridge now! Breakdown! Skywarp! Escort Lord Megatron now!"

As ordered, Soundwave quickly summoned the Groundbridge Portal. Breakdown and Skywarp quickly carried Megatron over their shoulders. The Decepticons quickly make their escape before they get blasted and caught by the Autobots. Groundbridge Portal closed down at once.

Team Prime and Team Ben sighed in relief that they have defeated and drove the Decepticons out for good.

---

Team Ben and Team Prime exited out of the factory. They met up with not only Whirl and Julie's parents, but also Agent Fowler, United States Military and the Plumbers. Ratchet, Azmuth, June, Jack, Miko and Raf were there as well.

Julie was with her parents, checking and making sure they're alright. They were treated by June, making sure that they're not badly injured.

"Thank goodness that you're alright, Otosan and Okasan," Julie said in relief. Ship beeped happily. She sighed, "I'm so sorry for putting you guys at risk."

"We should be the one to say that, Sakura," Mr. Yamamoto said in disagreement yet calmly. He sighed, "But I'm happy you're alright."

Mrs. Yamamoto looked at the Autobots. She commented, "Looks like you've found them. I hope they can help you out of what you want."

Julie sighed, "Not exactly. But I'm glad that they help us out."

"Yeah. They did. Just be glad that I was there to save your daughter," Ben commented cockily. He groaned a bit, "I still need to work out on the name since the Bots and Cons are kinda pissed off about me using 'Decimus Prime'. How am I supposed to know that Prime is title and rank?"

Julie giggled, "Well. Next time, Ben, try to ask first."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah…" Ben grumbled. Most of his friends chuckled at him being embarrassed. He and his friends looked up and found Optimus Prime and his team approached them. He asked, "What's up, O.P.?"

Optimus Prime knelt down before his new human friends. He spoke humbly, "Ben. Julie. I know we have said that we do not have the answer about preventing you being reprogrammed, but we can provide you all the assistance."

"Really?" Ben and Julie asked in surprise.

Jazz nodded, "You could say that we're now working together as the team and alliance. Kinda like we did with United Nation."

"Cool…" Kevin, Cooper and Tetrax commented in surprise.

Agent Fowler groaned, "I am so dead…"

"Just what we need…" Ratchet grumbled a bit, "More troubles again…"

"We also kinda noticed that both of you got problem with your Cybertronian ability." Arcee said seriously yet calmly.

"Must be tough for you guys to handle them," Bumblebee beeped in concern, "Especially when you guys can't transform and use your own weapons too."

"And not to mention, very reckless of you both to fight Megatron when we said 'do not try'," Bulkhead said sternly.

Ben groaned, "Well, it wasn't our choice to just ignore him when he keeps firing at us. Plus, Cybertronian isn't the first alien that I'm having problem with. But I can figure it out."

Ironhide scoffed while crossed his arms, "That's why we said we will train you. Trust me, kid, you'd be surprise of what you can do with that form."

"And also, Julie, we'll try and help with yours," Arcee added, "You will learn to control that power, and not let anger blind you."

Bluestreak smiled warmly, "Yeah. We won't let anything bad happen to you."

"You can count on us," Whirl cheered happily as he held and hugged Bumblebee, Bluestreak and Bulkhead close. He squealed happily, "After all, we're buddies! Right?!"

Bumblebee beeped, "You said it! What are friends for!"

Julie was touched and relieved by the Autobots' willing to help her and her friends. She smiled while bowed humbly, "Thank you so much, guys. I'll try my best."

"I'm sure you do," Bluestreak said firmly.

"I'm sure you won't forget about us, Julie," Gwen said teasingly.

Elena nodded, "After all, we're friends too."

"And I need to remind you again that you're a member of Team Ben as well," Rook said proudly. He continued with dry looks, "Don't understand why named after him."

"Coz I'm the best superhero for saving the universe for multiple times!" Ben declared proudly.

"Is he always like this?" Ratchet asked in annoyance.

"Pretty much. But he helped a lot of people and saved the day," Grandpa Max joked. He turned and looked at Agent Fowler, "Since we're working together now, I expect the military have full cooperation with the Plumbers."

Agent Fowler sighed, "I'll have debrief to General Bryce and Colonel Rozum about this. Other than that, I hope your grandson don't cause a lot of damages and problem to everything especially revealed to the world. I don't want some fans and mad people to mob the Autobots, otherwise it makes our job difficult."

"We'll try our best," Tetrax commented, "No guarantee…"

Ratchet sighed, "We should be relieved that Megatron learns nothing about 'Pretender', otherwise the last thing we need is causing worldwide war."

"Agreed, old friend," Optimus Prime said in agreement. He continued, "Ironhide, Jazz, contact Sideswipe and Perceptor. We'll be there, bringing along with our new friends as well."

"What?!" Ironhide asked in shock, "you mean-!"

"You're kidding?!" Jazz asked in surprise.

Optimus Prime nodded firmly, "We're heading to Autobot Alpha Secret Sanctuary now…"

---

The Decepticons have escaped and returned to the Nemesis in time. The Decepticon Medics assisted and treated their commanding officers' injuries. Megatron was sitting on his throne chair, still annoyed and furious over being defeated and unable to retrieve 'Pretender'. For odd reason, he remained calm and amusement as if he already has what he wanted.

"Soundwave, did you download the information you need?" Megatron asked calmly. Soundwave's monitor screen revealed today's battle event and information behind Julie Yamamoto and her abilities of Pretender and Armorstrike. He smirked, "Excellent. Send it to Nautica. Tell her to begin study and mass produce the Decepticon Pretenders now."

Soundwave nodded firmly. Starscream smirked slyly, "Such brilliant scheme, my master. By using Soundwave's hacking ability, he has downloaded both the half-breed and the drive's information before they engaged their 'rescue operation'."

Megatron nodded firmly and calmly, "Indeed. Now, with this 'Pretender' technology under our control, we can infiltrate the Autobots' human organization to not only control the Earth but also locate Prime's current base and the Secret Sanctuary as well."

"You believe 'Secret Sanctuary' is real?" Breakdown asked curiously.

Skywarp groaned, "I still have hard time to believe it…"

Knockout nodded in concern, "We've been searching for that place for three years, and found nothing, Lord Megatron!"

"I am certain it is here." Megatron said firmly, "5 years till now, Optimus Prime and his team could not have been the only survivors. I am certain that there were others and the refugees, hidden and sheltered in their sanctuary. We will find it and capture them."

Barricade nodded firmly, "We will not fail, Lord Megatron."

"Yes! Barricade's right. We will not fail you!" Blackout said firmly and determinedly, "The Autobots will be brought to justice! They will fall before you, Lord Megatron!"

Megatron scoffed a bit before smirked, "Yes. Decepticons will be victorious…"

Author's Notes:

There you have it. Team Ben and Team Prime have officially formed the teamwork and alliance. And yes, I did mention there were Autobot and Decepticons survivors from Transformers Prime IV: Guardians. However, whatever the reason they didn't help Team Prime will be explained on the next episode.

What is their fates after Season 4/Crossover?! That is asking for spoilers, which I will not approve but I will tell you this Team Prime will continued their fight against the Decepticons until the end of Great War.

1) 'Decimus Prime' is the concept and non-canon artwork done by Derrick J. Wyatt for Ben 10 Omniverse. I wasn't impressed with the design and the name because 'Prime' is the title and symbol of Autobot Leadership, and personally, I don't like how people just use 'Prime' like they can just buy them. It must be earned rightfully and humbly like how Orion Pax earned his.

2) I already have designed the artwork for Ben's Cybertronian Form on my deviantart account. You can check it out. And originally, I wanted to put Kirby Morrow as Decimus Prime for playing Hot Shot from Transformers Cybertron, but he sadly passed away on 18 November 2020. But I'm thankful that I'm able to imagine him as Rad White for Transformers Prime IV for tribute and honor to all casts and crew for what they have did with Transformers Franchise.

3) Whirl named his Wrecker Ship after 'Roadbuster', who inspired him to join the Wrecker Unit like how Aligned Continuity wanted him to be. Interestingly thought not surprisingly, he is the father of Whirl (Rescue Bots Academy) for my version.

4) Yeah. I changed Rene Auberjonois to Jeff Bennett because I found out that voice actor for Omniverse has passed away. Really need to be careful of whom I'm choosing.

5) There were some scenes I wanted to make it happen but found them to be complicated and messing the whole story:

a) Originally, Team Ben split into two teams such as Max, Tetrax, Cooper and Elena gone with Bluestreak and Whirl to meet Team Prime at the rendezvous point while Ben, Julie, Rook, Kevin and Gwen investigate on Jasper, which the information was provided by Jimmy due to him found out about giant alien robots but unable to download and make reports due to Rafael removed Autobots-Decepticons War activity and replaced them false ones. But chose not to, instead, putting Team Ben stay together with Bluestreak and Whirl in 'Roadbuster' Wrecker Ship since they're meeting Team Prime soon.

b) The event of Roadbuster being attacked by Skywarp remained the same. Team Ben come across to K.O. Burger, where they met Jack Darby and Arcee in her motorcycle, which was inspected and interrogated by Kevin. This would cause the duo make the escape, alerting Ben and his team to give chase after them. Barricade also got intrigued and gave chase after them. This would be based on Transformers (2007 Film)'s Bumblebee vs. Barricade scene, and also would be reinforced by Megatron personally. Team Prime would come and assist to fight them off. It was also where Ben's Omnitrix accidentally scanned both Bumblebee and Barricade's CNA. But I chose not to because Megatron would not go to any battlefield for the sake of fighting and winning, unless it got his attention.

c) Sari Sumdac was meant to appear in this story but chose not to because it's distracting and takes away the purpose of Team Ben and Team Prime formed the alliance to fight both Decepticons and Quintessons while decided to uncover the secret origins behind Julie's and a way to help her prevented being turned against her family and friends. No worry, she will appear on the next episode.

d) Instead of Autobot Outpost Omega One, the meeting and discussion about each other and Julie's being Pretender should have occurred at Autobot Alpha Secret Sanctuary or Alpha Trion's Sanctuary. It was also where Bluestreak have emotional tears over his brother's death. I removed it because Optimus Prime would not risk the sanctuary's location unless he has no other choice but to call for his hidden allies' assistance. He wants the Decepticons to focus on him and his team, not the humans and refugees.

e) Ben's, Gwen's and Kevin's parents were supposed to be involved in hostage situation but I decided to just have her parents only instead. Because Megatron wanted Julie for her Pretender Technology, not others since they have no purpose for his conquest.
