Isaiah: Yippee….

Miko: Whoop-dee-doo….

Neo:...

Goji Pax: Enjoy!

Nemesis' POV

It was useless. There was no way Isaiah could beat me. As long as I don't get injured he couldn't risk injuring himself as well. Isaiah continued running until he attempted to slice at me. I let him slice. I looked at him with a smirk. He was in immense pain. Now I could collect him and Solus Prime. I tried to to move but then I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. What? I thought as I fell to my knees. What's going on? I thought as I collapsed in pain. I looked at Isaiah to see what he had done. Nothing, except there was a stab through his stomach. I coughed as he hit me in the face. "How-?" I began.

"Did I find out?" Isaiah replied, "It's Cloning 101: If a clone gets hurt, the original body will feel the pain only." My mind raced to the moment to when he shot at my leg. He figured it out so fast…. I thought as he attempted to stab himself again. I grabbed him as he brought his sword down and let him stab me instead. He screamed as I swiped him down and broke his hand. I decided to use verbal attacks instead of physical ones.

For I knew that he had one weakness. "Do you really think you can forgive him?" I inquired. He stopped for a moment. I injured him mentally. Good. I ran towards him and was about to slice at him when the girl came and blocked my sword with her hammer. "You're a tough one…." I commented as I parried her blow. "But in the end…" I continued as I grabbed her hand and slammed it into the ground, breaking it in the process. She screamed in pain as I kicked her in the face. "I am the superior prime…."

She groaned as she tried to speak, "Why…" She continued to groan as I stepped on her foot and started crushing it. "AAAAHHHH!" she screamed as I kicked her face.

"Am I doing this?" I finished for her as I crushed her hand even more. "I'm doing this for two things," I began, "One: I am doing this for my master Unicron. 2: I'm doing this because I feel complete knowing you will be ended soon." I grabbed my sword and was about to pin the girl with it but then I felt saw a fist coming at my face from another girl. I dodged it and jumped back a few paces.

I did not expect to see another girl. A prime, maybe, but not a girl. She had a black haired Japanese maple leaf design and sky blue eyes. Her outfit resembling one of those Sailor Moon girls but more artistically designed and colorful. "Hurting a defenseless girl and boy who were doing their duties protecting the planet: You my friend, are pure evil." I looked at Isaiah, who was on the debris covered floor, griping about his past and the female prime who was crawling towards him. I looked back at the girl, who was now looking at me. I decided to stall for time and see what she could do.

"Who are you?" I asked as she giggled a bit before replying.

"I'm not a Prime if that's what you're asking," She replied. "I'm a hero. Today's my debut!" She made a fashionably motion, "Call me Anime!" Everyone was confused by what had happened. I sighed upon reflecting my actions and what would happen if I wasn't careful. I didn't care. I rammed into her using my vehicle mode and pinned her before she could make a move.

I was about to end her when Isaiah screamed, "Why would you leave us?!" I stopped. Memories flashed in my head. I grabbed my head as I screamed my head off. What's going on?! I thought as I fell on my knees. These memories of Isaiah's, what were they doing here in my head?! I continued to scream as my head continued to flash in pain. Memories of a man with a bottle and smoke in the air. I saw the boy crying as the man went to a car and drove off, never to be seen again… I groaned as Isaiah stood up and punched me in the face. I was knocked out after that…..

Isaiah's Pov

I got up and looked at Nemesis, who was knocked out on the street. I looked at the new girl in confusion. I at first didn't know what to say. I then made up my mind to thank her for her help. I extended my hand and said, "Thanks…" She just turned to me in surprise. That was when I saw who she was: Bethany. What was she doing here?! She had no business being here! If Nemesis had gone full out, he could've killed her!

"You're welcome!" She replied, giving me a giggle. She looked at Solus and helped her up, asking "Are you guys all right?" Solus looked at as she looked back at Bethany in grace.

"We're okay thanks to you," Solus replied as she sat stood on one leg. I helped her stand as she almost fell over.

"What're you going to do about him?" Bethany gesture towards Nemesis. He was knocked out cold. "You guys look seriously injured," She commented on us, "You need to rest a while and heal." I looked at her like she didn't know what we were doing. I was about to speak when I heard a giant whooshing sound and looked to see Overlord's jet form lifting Nemesis into the air. Solus and I tried to run after him but our injuries were too extreme. I bent down and took off my faceplate only to hack up blood. Miko did the same as well, only mine was more severe. I felt my phone rang. "You might want to answer that." Anime remarked as I got up and activated my communicator.

"Hello?" I whispered.

"You need to get back home now." It was Gundam. Why was she calling me? I looked at Miko and Anime, who were talking to each other. I can spare a few minutes. I thought as I asked what was going on.

"What happened?" I asked as the police began arriving. I wished I hadn't asked.

Miko's POV

I looked at Isaiah. He was talking on the communicator to our guardian, Gundam. So many questions ran through my head. What happened? Did another Prime appear? Was it Jack or Raf? Lacus even? "What're those?" Anime asked, pointing towards something. I turned to see what she was pointing at. On the ground were…. No. They couldn't be.

9 little orbs that had electricity within them laid on the ground. I knew exactly what they were right away: they were the life source of a Transformer. They were sparks. "What do you think we should do with them?" I looked at her and was about to answer but Isaiah grabbed me by my shoulder and said, "We need to go home right now." When he said that, he transformed and drove away. I picked up the 9 sparks and put them inside my chest. "Do you think we'll meet again?" Anime inquired as I transformed into a motorcycle and drove away.

It wasn't until I was about a halfway to the house that I saw Isaiah in his human form. I stopped when he asked for a ride. I asked him a question, "What's going on?" He didn't answer but instead just grumbled. I asked again. "What happened?"

He finally answered, "He came back."

I was confused by this, so I asked, "Who came back?" He didn't answer at first but instead increased his grip on my handles. I could feel the anger within him seething.

"After all this time," he growled as he drove on, "Now he wants to be a part of my life again?!" I felt tears dripping down on me as he started to become more furious by the second, "After 17 years, vanishing without a trace, now the craphead wants to be part of my life again?!" I stopped. "What the heck Miko?!" Isaiah screamed as he got off and continued to yell at everything. For a while, he even screamed and rage at a squirrel. When he finally calmed down he got back on me. I asked him, "Are you feeling any better now?" He was quiet for a few moments before finally saying yes.

That was when I decided to asked him, "Who came back?"

"..." Was all he said until we got to the house. He looked at Lacus' house for a while before asking, "Is she okay?" All I did was just simply nod. He took his keys and told me, "Remember when I told Mafune that my parents were dead?" I nodded. He nodded and said, "Don't be shocked by what you see." And with that he opened the door.

Isaiah's POV

Miko and I walked in to see him. He was sitting in a chair facing the wall. He hadn't changed that much. He still looked almost exactly like me. The only difference was that he had a scar on his left cheek from the time when he fought in Afghanistan. He didn't notice me walk in as he continued to look at the wall. "Hello father," I said as he turned towards me. He had a soul patch on his chin. He had a look of ….. concern on his face as he looked at me. "Good to see you again," I continued sarcastically as he just looked at me. "Where have you been?" I pushed as he looked at my eyes. Finally, he spoke to me in a hushed voice.

"Hello my son," He whispered as he got up and walked towards the fridge and got out a bottle of Jarritos, "it's good to see you again," he continued as he opened the bottle and started to drink from it. I looked around to see if Gundam, Jack, or Raf were around only to see nobody. I looked back at Gilbert only to hear him say, "Don't worry about your friends, I sent them out on errands so you and I could have some alone time without your…." He looked past me and saw Miko, "girlfriend." He chuckled, "I have to say, despite what you think, you're a lot like me. You have no taste when it comes to girls, just like I did when I met your mother." Miko grew angry and was about to scream at Gilbert but I put my hand out to show her that I would take care of him.

"Leave us," I whispered to Miko as she clenched her fists in anger. "I can handle him. You clearly can't."

"I can see why you didn't want talk about happened." she whispered as she went outside, "He really is a scumbag." When Miko said that, she left the room to fume her frustration. I looked at Gilbert until he spoke again.

"Why don't you take a seat?" he asked, motioning towards the couch. I sat down on it, never taking my eyes off of him. He began, "You're probably thinking, 'Why now, after all these years?'" He made a motion towards the back door. At that moment, two girls who were about 4 years younger than me walked into the house. They both had a striking resemblance to Gilbert as I did. "Meet your sisters Alissa and Alana," he continued as they sat down in my room. "That's not the reason why though," he continued, "The reason was that I heard a while back from their mother that she found out that I had another child which I didn't bother acknowledging. At first I denied that I knew such a thing, saying that Rosamaria was pregnant but it turned out to be a miscarriage. Then Emily (Alissa and Alana's mother) said that I was lying and that your grandma Lorrie told her that it was so. I then went to your grandmother and asked her if this was so and she replied that Rosa told her the day before we had moved to Arkansas that she had lied to me and kept it a secret to protect you. She didn't want you to have the life of a Lopez. Partying and a number of things I can't talk about." He paused for a moment, taking a sip from the Jarritos. "Upon hearing this, I went out to to have my DNA tested to see if that was so." He paused for a moment looking at the window. The sun was setting.

"Then what happened?" I asked, wishing to hear more of the story. I was still deciding whether or not to trust Gilbert. His story had somewhat interested me.

He sighed before continuing, "The result came back positive. I at first was shocked to know that the fact that your mother lied to me, but then I realized that I had a right to see you. So I went to the social workers to see where you were. That was when I found out that your mother had remarried and died along with her new husband….." He started to cry as he continued. "I thought you were taken along with them but then they told me that you were living by yourself well. They then asked me if I wanted your current address and here I am now." He paused for a little while. I looked at his face. This was not the face of a scumbag. What I saw was the eyes of a man who wanted to be with his family again.

I sighed before saying, "All right, I'll let you into my life again. On two conditions: 1. I don't want anything that is related to my mother spoken about. 2. I also have a few rules in my house if you're going to live here." At that notion Gilbert got up and hugged me.

"Thank you, my son, for forgiving me." he sniffled as he sat back down. "There's something I needed to tell you Isaiah." Gilbert said as I walked away. I turned around to hear what he wanted to say. He just grinned and said, "This would be breaking one of the conditions but: the way you took down Menasor and Predaking." My body tensed. How did he know?! Did Raf and Jack tell him? I listened to him even further, "Your mother would've been proud. I figured it out when you fought Galvatron. Those moves you pulled were Marine in origin as well Aztec too." I relaxed as he said this. "I won't tell anyone either." he finished as he motioned for my 2 sisters to go to the car. As they left I started to smile.

"There's something I need to show you." Miko told me as Gilbert's car drove off, I looked to her as she pulled 9 little orbs from her purse. I looked at them in curiosity.

"What are they?" I inquired as she put them in my hand. Miko led me inside as the others came inside the house. The moment Jack, Raf, and Gundam came in the house with my groceries (I didn't know about that I was running low on food.), they dropped their bags and looked at the orbs in shock. At this point, I was getting tired of this so I said, "What's going on? What are these orbs called?"

Gundam looked at me and answered, "They're sparks."

She held one of the sparks as Raf continued for her. "Sparks are the main source that keep Cybertronians like Gundam here alive." He looked at the sparks, holding one of them in his hands.

Jack picked up after him, "Without a body, these sparks would….."

He stopped as Miko finished for him, "They would die off…." I looked at them in shock. Without a body, the sparks would die off? I couldn't let that happen! This feeling I felt though….it was just like the one I had when I faced Nemesis Prime. It's the father inside you my fatherly side spoke to me, You have a need to protect the ones that you care about the most. The feeling and need to be the father you never had.

I shook my head, "We can't let them die!" I grabbed some of the sparks and ran off to the closet.

Raf's POV

I was confused by Isaiah's actions. What did he mean when he said, "We can't let them die!" I looked at Miko for some answers but all she gave me was a look of confusion as well. "Any idea what Isaiah might do?"

Miko turned towards me as Isaiah opened a closet door. "From what I've seen," she began, "He'll probably try to put the sparks in a body."

I thought about what Optimus would've done if he faced the same thing. Somehow, I had feeling that he would've tried to do the same thing. Isaiah opened the closet and went down to what looked like a basement. I looked around to see what was in there.

He had what looked like a mad scientist's lab. There was chemistry sets, tech and computer pieces, and on his bulletin board there were blueprints of what looked like….ragdolls?

Isaiah cleared the top of his desk and pulled out a drawer to reveal a ragdoll with what appear to be mechanics within it. He opened the chest, revealing a pair of wires and connectors. He grabbed the spark he had with him and connected it to the wires in the doll's chest. For a while, nothing happened. Gundam held her hands to her faceplate while Isaiah took off his glasses in frustration. It wasn't until I noticed that the ragdoll whispered arrogantly, "Why have you made me alone?!" We all looked at the ragdoll in shock. As he stood up he smoothed back his head and muttered, "I just wished you made some friends for me. I can get pretty lonely, you know." We all looked at Isaiah in surprise. He himself had no explanation for what happened. All he did was try to speak but instead fainted. I thought about if Optimus had done this before himself, because if he did, then I doubt that anyone would've thought he would've become a prime.

Nemesis POV

I looked at my hand as Galvatron complained and scolded me. "You had them in your sight! How could you stop?!" I just looked at my hand and my clothes. My clothes were a black T-shirt and grey shorts. My eyes were still red. I thought back to what had happened. I was getting ready to kill that girl but then Isaiah stopped me when screamed something about his father which caused me to have so many flashbacks. What caused it to happen? "Are you even listening?!" Galvatron screamed as he grabbed my hand violently but I crushed his hand instead. He screamed as I crushed his hand and threw it on the ground as I crushed it violently into the ground. "What was that for?!" he growled as I stared at my hand again. You're nothing but a copy I told myself as I got up A being created to serve Unicron's will and nothing else. I know I'm not supposed to feel anything but…. A fist almost hit my face but I dodged it and kicked it.

"You've improved since your last fight with Optimus, Nemesis" Soundblaster remarked as I continued to look at my hand. "With some more practice, you could-"

"Do I have a soul?" I asked as the Decepticons turned to me in confusion. I looked at them back, "Do I have a soul?" I repeated.

"What are you blathering about boy?" Megascream inquired as I stood up. "If you're asking about whether or not you have a soul is a highly irrelevant ideal!" He grabbed my hand and pulled me up as he transformed into a jet. "You need to focus on trying to find the other Primes! Your mission is to do that or ruin the current Primes' reputations!" I started to grow annoyed to his complaints as he flew up until we saw a huge ark launched into space and head towards Earth. A communication link started to beep, "Megascream to Cybertron," He spoke into their comlinks.

"What in Primus' name are you doing?!" Galvatron screamed at the other end, "That ship was an unauthorized launch! It was launched from Iacon!" What the heck did he mean by saying that this launch was unauthorized?

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, "That ship launching could've been something like a malfunction." Apparently, I was dead wrong about this because Galvatron screamed back at with a rather angry and murderous tone.

"Foolish boy!" he scolded, "Iacon is the last city in Autobot Control!" He continued to scream as Megascream contacted all the seekers and led the assault team to destroy the Ark that was entering the solar system.

"Hang tight!" Megascream ordered as he started to fire at the ark. The rest of the seeker did so as well until the Ark, which at this point was suffering a lot of damage, opened up its ports and started to fire at us as well. "Dodge those Dragoon Units!" Megascream shouted as some of the seekers were blown apart by this. A turret fired at Megascream as he commanded, "Cover their left flank! Hit those turrets so they won't be able to fight back!" The seekers then divided into several squadrons and then started to divebomb the Ark.

Eventually, I grew tired of this so I unbuckled myself and pulled my Decepticon Insignia and screamed, "Prime Within, Awaken!" My clothes disappeared as black armor covered my body, giving me a similarity to Isaiah's Prime form. I pressed the eject button and used my foot rockets to propel me through space.

"What are you doing?!" Megascream demanded as I pulled out my sword. "You get back in here! Galvatron would not-"

"Screw Galvatron!" I screamed as I fired a direct hit at 1 of the turrets, "If I just did everything Galvatron wanted," I sliced a balancing fin off of the Ark. The ship started to lose balance and began tipping, "I would've been already dead the moment I faced Optimus and Solus!" I took out my Dead Matrix, put it into my ion blaster, which transformed into a huge Super Sonic Ultra class Masterpiece Big Convoy Mega-charged ion blaster. I held it up to my chest, aimed it at the Ark's repulsors and wings, "EAT THIS, AUTOBOT SCUM!" My blaster started to charge up and hum. I put my finger on the trigger, and fired. The ark started to ignite as it entered Earth's atmosphere and falling into the ocean where California would've been. That was when I felt an unimaginable presence. I sensed it within my matrix and heart. 2 more Primes had appeared!

"Where are you going?!" Megascream roared as I hijacked a seeker and flew towards Earth. I knew what had to do. I knew it and so did he.

Russell's POV

I coughed as I got up from the impact, rubbing my bumps all over my body. I looked around to see where I was. I was in what appeared to be an urban neighborhood and a not very shabby one at that. A few kids were looking at me weirdly. They had some action figures of…...Optimus?! I was confused by this. The Autobots would never reveal themselves to the world! I decided to inquire the kids about what was going on. "Excuse me," I asked. "What were those toys inspired by?"

I wished I hadn't asked because all of the kids screamed at me, "Optimus Prime!" I winced as soon as they all screamed that out loudly.

"Optimus Prime is the coolest superhero that's ever been on this Earth!" One boy screamed excitedly. "He beats up Decepticons who want to take over our planet!"

"He came from nowhere!" Another boy screamed loudly, "One minute, there was nothing. Then, Optimus came out fighting huge alien robots which combined to form Predaking! Then he showed up again at Roosevelt High School, fighting off Menasor!"

"Don't forget that time when he fought Galvatron!" the final boy squealed in excitement, "That was when Solus Prime made her public debut as well!"

"Can I see what he looks like?" I inquired looking at the figurine. I looked closely at it and saw a human face with blue hair with the frame of the Prime I knew. But there was something different about him as well. He reminded me of….Dad…..

I heard a boom and a crash as a ship crashed into the earth by us. I looked at the wreckage and saw a black being coming out of whatever it was that crashed landed with a sword. He looked like Optimus only black and dangerous. He opened his eyes, revealing a blood red glow.

"W-who are you?" I asked as the kids started to run away.

The Optimus person said nothing except, "My name is Nemesis Prime." I was confused by this at first but then he said, "I am here to collect you….." He pointed at me. "Onyx Prime" Fear ripped through my body as he jumped and attempted to slice at me when another kid with light brown hair kicked him in the face.

"Leave him alone!" the boy screamed as Nemesis got up from the impact and only looked at the boy. "That boy has done nothing wrong!"

"On the contrary," Nemesis responded, his hand pulling out a gun and fired at the boy, "You were another I was after as well, Nova Prime." He put his hand out, which turned into a gun and fired right at him. A blast and some debris flew towards us as another blast hit Nemesis. The boy and I looked to wherever the blast came from and saw Optimus and … who was the girl next to him?

"Optimus and Solus Prime…." Nemesis Prime stated, "I knew you both would come so I made some measures." All of a sudden his hands turned into guns and pointed them at me and the other kid!

"Don't do this Nemesis…" Optimus whispered as he tried to walk slowly towards us, I looked at both Primes and saw the looks of fear on their faces.

He gave this some thought before saying, "You're right. I don't have to do this." We were all relieved by this until he said, 'I want to!" When he said that, he fired at both me and the kid but Optimus crashed into him and Solus hit him with her hammer as Nemesis swung an axe at her only for her to grab him and be thrown towards a wall.

"Run kid!" Solus screeched as she was hit by a shield from Nemesis, "He'll kill you!" At that moment I was tired of watching and looking at Optimus and Solus getting their butts kicked so I grabbed a lead pipe and a trash can lid and charged at Nemesis Prime.

Kicker's POV

What was going on? One minute I was running from the destruction of rubble that was a result of Unicron destroying Earth, the next moment, I'm fighting a dark version of Optimus! I was defending a kid from this guy when Optimus and that woman Solus attacked Nemesis. I remember trying to grab my father's hand as I being pulled into some kind of vortex. I grabbed a machete that was lying around on the front porch of the house we were nearby.

"I have a gift from Unicron!" Nemesis screamed as he threw Optimus at Solus, knocking them out in an instant. He turned towards me and the other kid. "It's 5 letters," His hands transformed into guns, "D-E-A-T-H!" He screamed as the other guy threw his trash lid at Nemesis only for him to be shot at.

"NO!" Optimus, Solus, and I screamed as the boy fell down to the ground. That was when I felt a sharp sting in my stomach. I looked down to see a sword through me. I coughed out blood as I looked behind me. I saw Nemesis behind me.

"How-?" I wheezed as I felt the sword exiting my chest. I coughed out another gush of blood. I fell onto my knees slowly. Nemesis threw his sword at Solus, pinning her to a wall as Optimus skin peeled off and became more of a monster…..

Isaiah's POV

I roared as my skin peeled off. Blood covered my body and face as I screamed at Nemesis, "GET OFF OF HER!" 4 tails emerged from behind me as I lost control over myself. Miko roared as well as she did a similar transformation as well. She started to form into something more catlike as 2 tails emerged from behind her. She roared as I howled at Nemesis Prime…..

To be continued…

I didn't really know what to do for this chapter. I was originally going to make this a two part arc but it looks like I'll have to make this a 3 part or more. I'm having a really hard time with family right now. My uncle almost passed away and I might go to Texas in May. Anyways, next chapter will go more into Nemesis' morality and his questioning where his loyalties truly lie. Kicker and Russell will become their respective prime selves and fight King Poseidon. That's right. I'm bringing back the Combiners! Bethany will actually meet the refugees and will get the wrong idea about Miko with Izaya.

Til all are one!
