Miko: I see that you've made some major adjustments to our designs

Me: You bet.

Isaiah: You did update the cover picture, right?

Me: Crap! (Runs towards computer and attempts to update cover picture)

Nemesis, Part 4

Nemesis POV

I dodged everything the primes sent at me. I threw Solus towards a wall as Nova flew across the sky to attack me. "Is that all you can do?!" I screamed as I blasted them.

"Big Brother!" I heard a girl scream as she ran towards me. What the hell was she trying to do? "Stop hurting your friends!" I smiled as I thought how she might end. I knew how to end her: I'd grab her and slice her throat before Isaiah's eyes. I raced towards her, my hand reaching out to grab her. I grabbed her by her hair and put my sword towards her neck. "What're you doing?!" She screamed.

"I'm making you my hostage, little girl," I replied as I backed up a little bit to show that I wasn't kidding around.

"Leave that girl alone!" Gundam screamed. "She has nothing to do with this!" I lifted my sword and struck to kill her when I felt a rush of air. I looked down to see Alana no longer there. I looked up and saw Isaiah blocking my sword with his own. His eyes were closed.

"I made an oath a while back." He whispered, "I swore upon learning that I had siblings I would protect them no matter what.' He opened his eyes. His eyes were not that of a normal human, but rather those of a Cybertronian. "I will not tolerate those who hurt my family, be they my friend, my brother, or even my very own child." He took Alana far away from where we were fighting.

"What about if it's you?" I inquired when he came back. He was quiet for a moment before swinging his sword at me. I blocked it and kicked him in his chest. Pain flew through my chest. I fired at him as he ran towards me like a ninja. He jumped up and dodged the blasts. "You really think you can beat me?!" I screamed maniacally as he tried to land a punch on me. "Not only do I know only everything you can do, I am YOU!" I laughed as I threw shurikens at him. "I AM YOUR SOUL, YOU PATHETIC, WEAK, LITTLE BOY!"

Isaiah charged at me as I charged at him. Our swords were about to connect when we both saw someone in the crossfire. His younger sister Alyssa.

Isaiah's POV

"Get out of the way, Alyssa!" I screamed as I stopped in front of her. I didn't want her to get hurt in this fight. "I won't let you get hurt!" Then I saw her change: her hair changed from being black to blue colors like mine. She grew wings out of her back as well as grew sky blue and pink armor all over her body. She opened her eyes to show that they were blue. She reminded me somewhat of a fusion between Ezra's Heaven Wheel and Lightning Empress armor if it were pink and blue. "Alyssa?" I asked as she finished transforming. "Is that you?"

She looked at me, "Yes," she replied in a soft voice. "I am your sister" She looked at Nemesis. "I will help you fight him." Nemesis looked at her in anger before running towards her with his sword swinging. She held out her hand calmly in front of her. I was wondering what she was doing until I saw tentacles of light shoot from her hands, grabbing Nemesis by his limbs.

"What are you-" He screamed as he was seemed to be being held down. "Let me go!" He screamed as he tried to struggle against her power.

Then without warning, Nemesis screamed as he started to change back into his human form. I never saw how it happened whenever a prime turned back to normal but now I could see what was happening: Nemesis' eyes turned from red to brown as his armor cracked and chipped away until it burst, leaving only Nemesis as a human now. Alyssa stood there for a few minutes before turning back to normal. I was in shock. What was that? Could she always do that? I had to ask her how she did that. "Isaiah!" Miko said as she ran to me, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I replied, "Did you see the way Alyssa-" That's when I realized that Miko didn't see what had happened.

"What did Alyssa do, Isaiah?" Miko inquired.

I stopped myself from answering that question as Russell and Kicker flew up to us, saying, "Everyone is accounted for. However, we might even have a bigger problem on our hands right now other Nemesis."

"What do you mean by that, Russell?" Miko questioned. Kicker gave me dirty look when she asked that question.

"Superman here revealed his identity to Lois Lane," Kicker replied, glaring at me angrily as he pointed to me. Miko was in shock from this.

"What do you mean Isaiah told someone his secret identity?!" She said, "Who did he even tell?!"

"It was that Webb girl, Lacus" Kicker continued, "Fearless Leader decided to tell her that he was Optimus Prime." Miko, who was shocked and then angered by this, punched me in the gut.

She grabbed me by my hair and whispered in my ear, "We'll talk about this later." She let go and looked at the other primes before hearing something behind us. We looked to see Nemesis being lifted in the air and carried away by Overlord.

"Don't let him escape!" I screamed as we opened fire on them. Our efforts were futile, however. Overlord escaped with Nemesis again. This was not going to be good.

Later, when we all went back into my house. (Nemesis had escaped through the window when he woke up). I pulled Alyssa into my room and asked, "How were you able to do that?" She looked at me with anger, as if I had offended her. She turned away. "Come on," I said, "You were going to show that sooner or later."

"Chola has always been able to do that, Big Brother," Alana replied. "I saw her turn into that a lot before we came here." Alyssa looked at her venomously as she looked back at me.

"I've been able to do that since I turned 13," She replied. "It usually happened whenever I got mad or upset, However, I've been able to transform at will now." She looked down at her feet. "At first, I thought that it was a curse but when I started to save people like you did, I…" She looked up at me. "I came to realize that it was sort of a blessing."

I was quiet before I asked, "Does Dad know about this?" She was silent as she shook her head. I nodded in response. "Are there any drawbacks?" I inquired. Every power has drawbacks. I knew mine.

"I always end up finding guys staring at me." She replied. I sighed when I heard this. I knew that feeling all too well. "I can't control myself in that form." She looked at the sky through the window. "It's like…. I become someone else different. It's like I'm Dr. Jekyll and …. Lightning Sapphire's Mr. Hyde."

"Lightning Sapphire?" I asked curiously.

"Sorry," She replied. "That's what people call my other life, Lightning Sapphire." Come to think of it, I kind of remembering hearing of a being similar to what I saw Alyssa turn into. I saw her start to cry, "It seems no matter what I do," she cried, "That- thing- always ruined my chances of being normal. Having friends, boyfriends at that!" She threw herself on my chest, sobbing, "People are always thinking that I'm some kind of weird kid that shouldn't belong with them! I hate it!" She continued crying as I hugged her.

I sighed before rubbing her hair, "It doesn't matter what people think of you." I said, "There are people who think that I shouldn't go to the school I attend. Why? Because I'm ADHD and Autistic. They thought I should be in a nursing home." I thought about all those kids who messed with me because of my disabilities. " Did I care? No, because I knew that they were just trying to get the best of me."

"They made me an outcast in the school." Alyssa sniffled.

"You think that's bad?" I replied, "When I was 13, my parents died. People who hated me spread rumors saying that my mother couldn't take it anymore, raising a disabled kid and that my father couldn't stand the fact that I had driven her to take her own life. It wasn't true, but it sure felt like it. But you know what? I realized that they were just trying to hurt me." I paused to let that sink into her mind.

"What's that supposed to mean for me?" she whimpered.

"It's never as bad as it seems, Alyssa," I replied. "You're stronger than you think you are. Trust me." Alyssa sniffled as she looked at my eyes. She had that same fire in her eyes that I had whenever I was determined. It was a fire of hope. Hope that there will always be a better tomorrow.

"Thank you." was her reply as she and Alana hugged me. Unknown to any of us, Miko was listening in on our conversation the whole time.

Miko's POV

I waited until Isaiah had put his sisters to bed to confront him. What the hell was he thinking? He could have at least told us what he did. Isaiah got out of the room as I stood in front of him. "What?" He asked. I said nothing as I pulled his ear and dragged him into the basement. Kicker, Russell, and Gundam were all waiting there for us. "What was that for?!" He screamed as I let go of his ear.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" I growled at him, my fists clenching in anger. "Do you realize what you've done?!" I was losing my anger by the minute. "You might as well have told the whole world who you were!" I lunged at him only for him to step to the side as I landed in a pile of dirty rags.

"I did what I thought was the best course of action, Miko." He replied, his voice not changing at all. "Besides, sooner or later, Lacus would've figured it out. She's one of those girls that are very persistent."

"Even so," Kicker argued, "That still didn't give you the right to do so." He helped Miko back up as he looked at me venomously, "What made you think you had the right to tell her?"

"Go easy on Isaiah," Russell interrupted, "Nobody's perfect. Not even a prime." He put his hand in front of Isaiah. "This fighting is useless," He continued, "We should be more focused on finding Nemesis-"

"Neo" Isaiah broke in.

"What?" Everyone in the room asked him.

"I said his name is Neo," He continued. Kicker growled at him a little. Russell just looked at him all weird. I glared at him a little. What did he mean by that? "Unless any of you have a problem with that, that's his name now." We all just grunted at this.

"What we should be doing," Gundam spoke. "Is trying to find the other primes before Unicron does." We all looked at her in worry. Despite getting drunk a lot, she was still a servant of Primus. "We have you 4 but there's no way of telling when and where the next Prime will appear. The moment you do know is the moment you all decide to trust each other and act like a team!" She looked at all of us. "I don't see a team here." She continued, "All I see are an almost mature human(Isaiah), an airhead(Me), A complainer (Kicker), and a dunce(Russell)." I grew frustrated by this. Servant of Primus or not, she had no right to call me an airhead. "You all need to be focusing on your teamwork!" She finished.

I was about to say something when I heard the doorbell ring. Isaiah went to a corner and pulled down some kind of periscope. He screamed the moment he looked into it. "I gotta hide!" He screamed as he grabbed a blanket and threw it down on himself. Kicker looked into the periscope to see what was wrong. He turned his head toward the rest of us and motioned us to have a look. I looked into it to see ….. Bethany Ogawa…...

"Who's the babe?" Kicker inquired as he looked at the girl.

Isaiah continued shaking as he responded, "She's a girl that loves to torture me…. From school…." He said, "Her name …. is Bethany Ogawa…."

"Bethany…" Gundam repeated. I got the feeling that she already met her.

"She's someone that he hates." I explained, "She likes to torture Isaiah."

"Someone's going to have to answer that door, you know," Russell said as he looked at Isaiah. Isaiah shook his head as he began vibrating fast. "That's just great." Russell complained, "Who's going to answer the door?" I thought about this before looking at Russell. Then an idea popped into my head. I looked at Russell Perfect I thought as I grabbed him by the shirt.

"Miko," he remarked, "What are you doing?" I said nothing as I dragged him to Isaiah's room. I could tell from everyone's face that they knew what I was thinking.

Russell's POV

"This is a stupid idea!" I exclaimed as I was being dragged toward the door. This idea of disguising me as him wouldn't do anything to distract this Bethany character! "There's no way that she'll believe that I'm Isaiah!" She still didn't listen to me. "A black wig, brown contacts, glasses, and a change of clothes isn't gonna do anything!"

"Only way to find out," Miko replied as she pulled me up and dusted me off. "Don't look at her in the eye" she reminded me, "Actually act like you're Isaiah instead of like someone dressed like him!" I looked at her weirdly but never got to tell her anything because Miko opened the door and ran off.

"Took you long enough," I heard a girl say. I looked to see Bethany standing there. "My car broke down and your house was nearby. Mind if I spend the night here?" I looked around to see if Miko was around. She wasn't.

"I don't see why not," I replied as I motioned her toward the couch. "You have to sleep on the couch though." She looked at me weirdly before lying down on Isaiah's couch. "Why're you here?" I asked. There was no way from what Isaiah and Miko told me that she would be here for no reason.

"I told you," She replied, "My car broke down and your house was nearby." I raised my eyebrow a little. "Okay," she admitted, "That happened and I needed to get something off of my chest too." She sighed.

"What might that be?" I inquired. I turned around for a moment to get some water.

"Well…." She remarked as I heard something unzip. I started to blush. Don't look I thought as I poured myself a drink. "I wanted to tell you this when we're both about to die in some situation, but I can't wait for it any longer…."

"W-what do you mean ?" I asked slowly turning around. I didn't expect this to happen: She wrapped her arms around me and tackled me to the ground. "What are you doing?" I whimpered as she put her finger on my mouth to shush me.

"Confessing my feelings for you, Isaiah," she whispered as she began to put her mouth on mine. She likes him?! I thought as she kissed me. She must be one of those Tsundere girls! I tried to get away from Bethany as she tried to kiss me again. "Why won't you return my feelings Isaiah?" she cried as she tried to grab me again. Unfortunately, she grabbed my "hair" pulling it off and exposing me. "You're not Isaiah…" She realized. Her face twisted into fury as she grabbed me by my shirt and slammed me into the ground. "You tricked me!" She screamed in anger, "You tricked me!" She lifted her fist and was about to hit me when I heard a fwit sound and saw her collapse on the floor. I looked up to see Isaiah holding a gun right behind her.

"Thanks…." I whimpered as I got up. "What was that?" I inquired as Isaiah put 2 fingers to her neck.

"Tranquilizer dart." He replied, "It won't kill her but it's still enough to knock her out for a couple hours." He grabbed Bethany and tried to lift her only for her hair to fall off. Her hair color was white instead of being black but other than that, she looked like who she pretending to be. "I thought so…." He said as he looked at the girl. "This isn't Bethany." He stated. I was confused by what he had said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I inquired.

"This is her sister, Brielle. She has an obsession with me and will do anything to get my attention." He grabbed her and motioned for me to transform and take her to her house. "I'll guide you there," he commented as I transformed into a bird.

"Did you tell him?" Isaiah asked as he held Brielle's sleeping form in his arms. I wasn't sure what he meant by this.

"Tell who?" I asked as we flew across the night sky.

"Kicker about Lacus and I." he replied, looking at me with a glare. I was quiet for a few minutes. My silence confirmed his suspicions.

"Why?" he asked. "Why were you listening in on mine and Lacus' conversation?" I was quiet for a few minutes.

"I was on orders from Kicker to follow you and see if you were up to no good…" I explained, "He wanted to prove that you weren't fit to be leader…" I sighed. Looked like that cat was out of the bag. I could feel Isaiah clenching his fists and grabbing on my feathers.

"So…" he whispered, "that's how it is, huh?" I looked up to see him calm. Not good. "I'll have a little chat with that kid." I gulped when he said it that way. It sounded more like he was going to try and beat the crap out of him.

Nemesis' POV

I woke up in Shockwave's lab covered in wires and hooked to monitors. I looked to see Shockwave in a corner, fiddling with his computer. I lied down on the mat and thought about what had taken place a few moments ago.

I was in some kind of empty space in my Prime form when I saw a little girl with similar features to Alyssa appeared. Alyssa?" I inquired, pulling out my sword. She said nothing but came closer. "Stay back!" I threatened, "I will kill you!" She did nothing in response except touch my face and look at me straight in the eye. Then, I saw numerous things: Unicron was in his true form as he stood upon a ruined Cybertron, me with all of the primes dead and Unicron turning towards me. I expected him to reward me but instead open his mouth and…. I felt something slip away… I looked around and saw myself being sucked away into Unicron. "No," I whispered, "No, NO, NO, NO, NOOOOOOOO!" I screamed as I saw everything come to end. I broke away from her gaze. "Why did you show me that?!" I screamed.

The girl did nothing except stand on her toes and put her mouth near my ear, "You can change," she whispered, I know you can. You have a good heart inside you, Neo."

I snapped back to reality as Shockwave finished his…. Experiments. "You're finally awake," he commented, not turning his head. "Your recovery was a bit faster than I expected, however," He turned around with a tool in his hand. "It was a good thing Overlord got you when he did, otherwise the Autobots would have tried to turn you."

"You were a major disappointment, boy." I heard Galvatron speak as he walked into the room. "To be defeated by a little girl is embarrassing beyond measure!" He snickered as he said this. I could easily tell from his voice and ugly face that he was easily enjoying.

"I didn't know what that Alyssa brat could do," I argued as I got up from the slab and looked up at him. "The same thing would have happened to you likewise." I got on my feet and tried to walk out of the room.

"Where do you think you're going?" Galvatron commented as he stopped me in the doorway. I clenched my fists as I tried to control myself. "Given your recent defeat at the hands of the Primes," He continued, "I think you need to spend a little more time training, don't you think?" I was quiet as I pushed him aside and went outside. I looked out to the horizon and sighed. What the hell was that dream about?

"You shouldn't worry yourself about such things, you know." I turned around to see a Decepticon with a green and purple color scheme. "All of that stress is gonna make your hair fall out."

"Sixshot…" I whispered. "What're you doing here?" I asked as he walked up to me.

"Enjoying the view," He replied. "The same thing you're doing." He walked toward me as he leaned over the ledge.

"You're gonna fall," I commented as he looked like he was about to fall. "At this height, you'll die from a fall."

"I have a jet mode to save myself." He replied. "What do you have?" I turned to him in confusion. What did he mean by that?

"What do you mean?" I inquired.

"You're worried about what will happen to you if what you saw was true." He replied. I was shocked by the fact that he knew what I was thinking of. "I can do more than what you think," He said as he leaned over again.

"I'm not sure what to do after I saw that," I whispered as I looked at the sunset. "If was true then what's the whole point of me even existing?" I threw up my arms in disgust as I turned to him. "Why am I here for that matter?"

"You're asking the wrong person that question." Sixshot replied. "You won't find the answers with the Decepticons. It's a journey you'll have to take by looking inside yourself." He looked at me, "You must write your own destiny, Neo Valenzuela."

I looked at him in confusion. I was about to ask what he meant by that when a blast burst through Sixshot's chest. "NO!" I screamed as he fell to the floor.

"Pathetic!" Overlord remarked as he kicked Sixshot's body to the side. "I can't believe that you almost fell for his tricks!" I fell to my knees in horror as I looked at what Overlord had done.

Sixshot groaned as he got up. "Why?" He gasped. "Why would you do this to one of your own comrades?"

"I don't really care what happens to any of us as long as I get to murder people," Overlord replied. "You should try it sometime Sixshot, it's loads of fun." he grinned crazily.

"There is no…... honor in doing that…." Sixshot commented weakly as he tried to stand up straight.

"Oh please," Overlord spat, "You and honor. It pisses me off when you talk about that." He walked over to him and grabbed him by the neck. "The only honor here is serving Unicron, Lord of Chaos and Destruction!"

"You're wrong," Sixshot snapped, "There is always honor wherever you go. Whether it's on the battlefield or on your deathbed….."

"I've had enough of this," Overlord remarked. He turned to me. "I better get rid of you before you turn to the Autobots." I gasped at this. "Say hello to Ginrai for me." he pulled out a sword and attempted to cut me in half when Sixshot grabbed him. Overlord just slammed him into the ground. Sixshot got up and attempted to hit Overlord when Overlord swung his sword, cutting off Sixshot's head.

"Neo, let it go.." Sixshot's head remarked. "It is not a sin to fight for the right cause... there are those who words alone will not reach." I looked at him in awe. "Unicron and the Decepticons are such beings.."

"This is boring," Overlord commented as he looked at Sixshot's head.

"I know how you feel Neo, you are gentle.." The head continued as Overlord walked to it " You do not like to hurt. I know because I too have learned these feelings.." Overlord stopped behind Sixshot's head. "but it is because you cherish life that you must protect it. Please.. drop your restraints. Protect the life I once loved.." Overlord lifted his foot as if to make a notion to crush his head."You have the strength," Sixshot said. "My spark sensed it... Just... let it go.." Were Sixshot's last words as his head was crushed underneath Overlord's rocket foot.

"That was a waste of time," Overlord remarked as he mashed what was left of the head. "Turbo Foxes are able to make better speeches." He looked at me again. "Let's get back to business, shall we?" I was in shock over what happened. I looked at him in anger and pulled out my badge only for Overlord to fire at me, causing it to fly from my hand and slide underneath him. I ran toward him except for him to fire at me again. I jumped and kicked his face, causing his left optic to shatter. He grabbed it in pained and growled at me. He grabbed me and slammed me into the ground several times. When he was done with me he threw me on the ground violently. "You're pathetic!" he screamed as he stomped on my back. I hacked up blood as he did. "Here Galvatron thought that you were getting too strong for the Decepticons, so he asked me to kill you!" He picked me up and tossed me like a ragdoll. I landed near my badge.

"Maldición" I grunted. "¡No puede terminar aquí!" I looked at my injured hand. "¡No dejaré que termine de esta manera!" My thoughts were focused on the vision and Sixshot…. "¡Pagarás por lo que has hecho!" I slammed my head into the ground. Images of my friend dead. "¡Tú, monstruo!" I screamed as I remembered what had become of him. Overlord's psychotic smile as he crushed him like a cockroach. I plunged my fist into the ground, remembering how he had died. Rain began to fall as lightning struck the ground next to me. My anger began to rise steadily as I closed my eyes. Blood and tears began flowing out of them. Now I thought as I got up. "Ahora" Energy started to flow throughout my body. "Todo va a cambiar," I growled as I squeezed my badge. I felt myself getting stronger by the minute.

Overlord laughed, "That was fun!" he said smiling. "It's been a while since I've had to try!"

I got up, quivering as I grew increasingly angry. So Galvatron thought you were getting too strong. My badge began to glow as it changed shape. This bastard and the Decepticons will kill me if I… if we don't watch out. So this is what it's come too. This is how I'm rewarded for my hard work! I looked towards where Sixshot's corpse lay. Sixshot I thought, I don't know how, but I'll get him for this. I looked at Overlord. Overlord laughed as he taunted me. I lost control. "PRIME WITHIN!" I screamed, holding out my badge. "AWAAAAAAKENN!" The ground sunk under me as I transformed into Nemesis Prime. My badge had transformed from being a Decepticon to Autobot.

"What?!" He screamed in shock. I looked at myself in awe and wonder. I felt myself stronger than never before. "Where were you hiding such power?!" Overlord screamed.

I glared at him. "Overlord!" I screamed, "¡Te haré pagar!" I started to walk towards him. This power that I felt, I knew what I had to do with it.

"Impossible!" Overlord remarked. "I can't believe it! How are you more powerful than before?!" He flew into the air and started shooting at me. He kept on shooting until the ground was covered in smoke. He flew back down. "I enjoyed that." He remarked. He was, however in for a shock. "What?!' He screamed. I continued walking toward him. He tried to punch me but I managed to grab his fist as he threw it. "Impossible!" He screamed, "I'm one of the Warriors Elite!" I looked at him in anger, "I could never lose!"

I looked at him. "¡Tus días de terror y asesinato han terminado para siempre!"

"Who do you think you are?!" He screamed in anger.

"¡Soy Neo Valenzuela!" I screamed. He looked into my eyes in horror. I threw him into the ground several times and uppercutted him in the chin, He crashed into the ground several times as I swung him by the leg.

"Damn it!" he screamed, "You damned bastard!" He started to fly into the air. A ball of fire formed from his hands. "You humans are nothing but a race of dogs!" he screamed as he powered up. "I'll blow you up where you stand!"

"¡Te voy a volar!"I replied as I charged up.

"Damn you!" He screamed as he fired. "ROT IN HELL!"

"¡Nunca te perdonare!" I replied as I fired off a blast of my own. Our blasts hit at the same time as we concentrated on each other. I still remember when my ball of fire overcame his and hit him straight in the chest. "¡ESTA! TERMINA ¡AHORA!" I roared at him.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He screamed as he was sent flying into the sky. When that happened, he absorbed the ball of energy and grew in weaponry. When he realized what had happened he laughed at me. "Is that all of you got? Pathetic!" He smirked at me.

I was, however, prepared for this so I said, "Ya estás muerto."

"Huh?" Overlord replied. Then there was a rapid beeping sound as Overlord's head began cracking. Beams of light emerged from his face. "What is this?!" He screamed as his head blew up, ending him. I looked at him exploding like a firecracker. I felt satisfaction from this, knowing that Sixshot would be able to rest in peace. I looked at Sixshot's corpse and noticed two swords similar to Isaiah's.

I'll need these for sure. I thought. I put them on my back as I ran toward the shuttle bay to escape Cybertron. Now I need to warn the others for what's coming to them. As I approached the shuttle bay, several Heavies, Ground Soldiers, and Seekers appeared to stop me from escaping. "But first," I remarked, "I think I'll have some fun."

Kicker's POV

I was sitting on the couch when Isaiah and Russell came back. "Oh good," I said, getting up from the couch. "You guys finally came-" POW! Isaiah punched me in the face. I wiped my mouth to see if he made me bleed. He did. "You're gonna pay for that!" I growled as I lunged myself at him, only for him to move to the side and make me hit the wall. I got up and looked at him. "You son of a bitch!" I roared at him.

"You're one to talk Kicker," He replied. "You sending Russell to spy on me so you could become the leader." He glared at me menacingly. "I don't want to know what got in your head to do that so I'll say this only once: You're in my house. In my house, you follow my rules!"

"Perhaps you didn't get this when we first met so I'll make this clear: I don't follow your orders!" I shouted, waking Miko up.

"Ooh…" She said, looking at Isaiah and me, "Dogfight….." She yawned and almost fell asleep until I lost my temper and lunged at Isaiah. I grabbed him by the neck as he tried to push me away from him. Miko, now fully awake, tried to pull me and Isaiah apart so we didn't kill each other. "Stop it, you 2!" she screamed.

"Get away Miko!' Isaiah screamed as he put himself in some kind of fighting stance. "This is a matter between me and Kicker!" I put my fists up to block whatever he might throw at me. We were still for a little while until I threw my fist at him. He blocked it with his leg and kicked me in the face. I attempted to kick him in the face only for him to block it with his arm and punched me in the stomach really hard, knocking the air out of me."I guess that's why you're called Kicker," He taunted. "You get kicked a lot." I gasped for air as I fell on my knees, defeated. Isaiah walked up to me as if he wanted to finish it.

"Go ahead," I groaned weakly, "finish me." Isaiah looked at me before raising his hand and - held it out with the intention of helping me up. Defeated, I held onto his hand as I lifted myself up.

"As long as you're here," he whispered in my ear, "you will follow my orders, understand?"

I looked at him for a few minutes before I walked to where I would sleep. Something told me that this wouldn't be the last time I would be challenging him.

Isaiah's POV

After the fight between me and Kicker, I walked to the basement and pulled out a spare cot and sat on top of it. I began to replay the day's event s in my head. It was one hell of a day. Everything being all hectic. It's about to get wilder! A voice whispered in my head. I looked around to see where the voice had come from. I'm not here. It continued. "How are you able to talk to me in my head?" I inquired.

We're more connected than one would expect, Isaiah The voice continued If wasn't for the girl, I wouldn't be trying to warn you right now.

"Nemesis?!" I screamed. "What are you doing in my head?" More importantly, why is he talking to me?

I'm speaking to you because of something that's happened. He replied.

"What might that be?" I pondered.

Galvatron tried to murder me. My clone replied.

"What?!" I remarked Galvatron tried to kill him? Why?

He and the other Decepticons thought I was becoming too strong. He explained. He sent Overlord to deal with me. He didn't succeed, however. I ended up killing him instead. He seemed content at this.

"Okay…." I replied. "Where are you?" I asked as I went outside, looking for him.

I'm in space, I hijacked a seeker and am currently flying toward Earth. He replied.

"Anything else I should know?" I inquired.

I won't arrive until tomorrow. He replied. Get yourself some sleep.

"That's good to know!" I sighed with relief.

I also defected to your side. He added.

"WHAT?!" I screamed. "Why?!"

I realized that I needed to find my own path and being with the Decepticons wouldn't be helping much. Was his reply. That made some sense. Somehow I knew that the others wouldn't react well to this…..

The Next Morning…

"WHAT?!" Kicker, Miko, and Russell screamed at once as I relayed the news to them.

"What do you mean by that?!" Miko screamed. I put on my clothes as I got ready to go to school.

"Nemesis claims that he's turned over a new leaf," I replied. "We need all of the firepowers we can get." I put on my backpack as I tied my shoe. "See ya!" I said as I walked out the door.

I was waiting at the bus stop when I heard Lacus call me from behind. "How are you?" She asked me.

"I'm fine," I replied as I got on the bus. We sat together in the same seat as the bus began to move. "How are you?"

"I'm still a little shocked over that my best friend since preschool is really Optimus Prime!" She screamed in delight. I put a finger to my mouth in a notion for her to be quiet. "Sorry!" she replied. She started to giggle uncontrollably. "So," she said as she looked at me with stars in her eyes.

"So what?" I replied, confused.

"What other things can you do other than transform and shoot out lasers?" She asked. I raised an eyebrow at her before answering that question.

"I can do all of the stuff you just mentioned, summon some sort of Sword Impulse battle pack that can attach itself to my back, allowing me to be more versatile in Melee combat, turn into some kind of tailed beast mode monster which I don't have control over, and I'm not sure if this counts or not, but I can feel whatever my clone Nemesis experiences and vice-versa." Lacus looked at me in shock before squealing in delight.

"You have a clone?!" She screamed. "Where is he?! I want to meet him!"

"You might just get your wish," a voice like mine said across from us. We looked at the person and saw-

"Neo?!" I screamed in shock as he sat there smiling. He had changed his look somewhat. He now had a patch of hair covering his right eye as while wearing glasses like mine. His eyes were still red despite not being in his prime form. He wore a black zip-up jacket that was similar to my black grey one. His hair color was still the same as mine. He smiled at me and Lacus.

"That's my name,' He replied. "Don't wear it out." We stopped at the school and got off. That was when Neo began telling Lacus and I everything.

Well, there it is! I was thinking about making longer but then had a last-second change of plans. That's right: Neo has joined the Autobots.

Next: Isaiah will have dreams about a great warrior who will come to fight him. Neo will be chatting with some of the primes while Bethany starts showing her feeling to Isaiah…

There were some Dragonball references. See if you can find them.

Til all are one!
