I don't own RWBY or Transformers Prime they belong to their respective owners. This fanfic is just for fun. Note *this* means that they are thinking so when you *see it* know that it is in their heads. When you see [this] it means Bumblebee is talking. Also, as I said in my last chapter the fanfic is going to be more canon not. So when you read things that match like the show don't jump the gun on anything. Again I don't own either RWBY or Transformers Prime this is just a fanfic for fun. And if you recall I had Vector Prime say that they will remember what happened but will forget Ruby. So I have to go canon at some point and this chapter will begin with it.

The next day at school Jack was waiting at the front doors of the school. He then saw the truck that normally drops off and picks Ruby up from school finally showing up and Ruby got out and started to head to the doors. As soon as Ruby got to Jack he pulled out a bag and handed it to her. Which she took it but was very confused about it which Jack saw. "You said one of them got killed yesterday and I've heard that some people will not eat much if at all when someone they know dies. So I got up early today and went and got you some donuts... And I better see that you eat at least one of them before school starts."

Ruby looked at him shocked but then smiled. "Thanks, Jack it was nice of you to do this for me."

Jack smiled back at her. "No problem."

And with that, the two went into the school not noticing that Optimus watching the whole thing. Which once they were in the school he took off. *At least Ruby has him as a friend to help her out when with other humans.*

Later on, at lunch, Jack, Miko, Raf, and Ruby were eating lunch together. Ruby took a little less food than normal. Part of it was because of what happened to Cliffjumper. But the other part of it was because Jack been making her eat at least one donut before each class and she just had way too many donuts today. But unfortunately for Ruby Jack didn't see that and thought that it was all because of Cliffjumpers death. Miko saw that Ruby wasn't eating as much as normal. "Hey, Ruby whats up? You're not eating as much as you normally would."

"Oh, it is because of two things today as to why that is."

At hearing that Jack started to think that another one of the robots got killed. *Oh no not another one!*

Miko got curious about that. "Oh and that would be?"

"Well, one being one of my caretakers died yesterday."

Miko and Raf felt sorry for her. "Oh sorry for your loss."

"Thanks and the other reason is that Jack found out about the caretaker's death and before each class he has been making me eat a donut. And those things are just way too filling."

At hearing that Jack finally realized that he may have gone too far with the donuts and started to blush. But both Miko and Raf laughed at Jack and Miko smirked at him. "What Jack got a thing for our little Rose?"

At hearing that Jack groaned. "No! And you're sounding like my mom!"

Ruby then joined in. "Besides Jack likes this girl in our homeroom named Sierra. So nice try Miko you can't joke about him liking me to try and get us all flustered."

At hearing that Miko then got upset. "Ahh! You two are no fun!"

At hearing that the three others started to laugh at Miko's suspense.

Meanwhile, at the Autobot base, Optimus looked at the time and knew that Ruby's school would end somewhat soon. "Arcee, Bumblebee."

"Yes, Optimus?"

[Yes sir?]

"I want you two to go to Ruby's school and bring Ruby and the two boys here."

[Yes!]

"Understood."

"Oh and one more thing."

"Whats that?"

"I want you Arcee to be the one to bring Jack. You know the boy that you gave a ride to yesterday."

"What?! But..."

"From what Ruby told me the other boy is only 12 years old and people would think it is odd if someone his age riding you. I also think it would be best if Ruby was with the youngest of the boys so he would feel safe. Is that going to be a problem?"

Arcee lowered her head. "No sir."

At the end of the school day, Ruby was still in the school and Jack walked past Miko and headed to Raf. "Hey, Raf about yesterday... Let's keep it to between us and forget about it."

"And yesterday you kept on asking me questions until I told you about Cliff's death."

Just then the two boys turned their heads to see Ruby behind Jack. "Ruby!... Well yes, I did...But that was... And this is...Sigh, I just can't win today."

At hearing that Ruby chuckled and at that moment Raf notes something. "Jack, Ruby."

He pointed to the yellow car from yesterday that was driving up to them. "Oh, not again!"

At hearing that Ruby punch Jack in the shoulder. "Oh! Hey!"

"Jack be nice, Bumblebee is the youngest of the Autobots."

At that moment Bumblebee got in front of them and opened one of his doors. [Hey Ruby! Optimus wanted me to pick you up alone with your friend Raf. Arcee is going to take your friend Jack with us.]

Jack didn't know what Bumblebee was saying so he took a guess. "It wants us to get in."

"No, just Ruby and me."

Jack looked at Raf oddly when he said that. "How do you know?"

"He said so."

"What?!"

"Raf is right Jack."

Jack looked at Ruby in shock and then saw her pointing to something. "Arcee is your ride today?"

Jack looked at the bike that he now knew as Arcee and as he did Raf and Ruby got in Bumblebee. "Hey, hows it going."

At hearing, Raf talking to Bumblebee had gotten Jack to look at him and see the two going into the car. "Raf, Ruby?"

At that moment Bumblebee closed his door and drove off. "No! Hey, wait! Stop!"

As soon as they were gone Jack looked back at Arcee and started to walk away from her and the school.

Miko at the time was drawing a pitcher of Arcee. "Coolest bike ever."

Just then her cell ringed and she took a look at it. "Host parents? Ignore."

She went back to drawing and then looked up to see the bike was gone. "Oh come on!"

She then saw the bike driving off and went after it.

Arcee caught up to Jack and cut in front of him. "Relax I just want to talk to you."

"Don't you mean you and your new friend?"

"Kid there is a lot you don't understand."

"No, no I get it! The first rule of robot fight club that Ruby is part of is that you don't talk about robot fight club."

At that moment Jack turned around and started to walk away from Arcee. "What you need to understand. Is that I don't want a bunch of crazy talking cars to come after me and try to kill me!"

At that moment Arcee changed into her Bot mode. "Look!"

That made him turn around to look at Arcee. "Jack is it? Your personal safety exactly is why Optimus Prime is requesting for your presence."

"Ah...Optimus who?"

"You may be in danger because of your one, one of the only few, the ones that have seen us.

What the two didn't know was Miko was watching the whole thing and at that moment she couldn't keep herself from talking. "Jack what are you waiting for?"

At hearing Miko's voice, the two looked at her. "Go with!"

Arcee was now feeling like this week wasn't her week at all. "Scrap."

The two Autobots were now driving back to the base with the four humans and Miko was loving it. "Yahoo!"

At that moment Jack had it with Miko. "And why are we bringing Miko?!"

"Rules!"

Just then they were heading to a cliff side and all but Ruby knew about the hidden door. "Raf, don't worry about what is about to happen they won't let us get hurt okay."

"Okay."

Unfortunately for Jack, he didn't have Ruby to tell him that as well. So when he saw that they were getting too close to the wall. "Wooo!"

Just then the doors opened and they were now in the base and saw both Bulkhead and Ratchet and all the Miko, Jack, and Raf could say was one word. "Wow."

Ruby and Raf got out of Bumblebee when Miko and Jack got off of Arcee. and the two Bots changed out of their alt modes. Which Ratchet took note of a number of humans. "I thought there were only two."

"Haven't you heard? Humans multiply."

"I'm Raf."

"And I'm Miko! Who are you?!"

Ruby saw that look in Miko's eyes and knew what it meant. *Oh, no. Sorry, Bulk your in for it.*

"Bulkhead."

"Are you a car? I bet you're a truck, a monster truck! Do you like heavy metal? how much do you weigh? Ever use a wrecking ball as a punching bag?!"

At that moment Ruby decided to save Bulkhead. "Miko that is enough your overwhelming him. You're just as bad as Nora and Neon!"

At hearing that Miko looked at Ruby. "One of your friends uses a nickname named Neon?"

"No, her name is Neon Katt and her parents gave her that name."

At hearing that Miko, Jack, and Raf didn't know what to say to that. And Raf thought it was best to change the topic. "So if you guys are robots who made you"

At hearing the question Ratchet felt offended. "Oh, please."

At that moment Optimus walked in and all the Humans looked up at him. "Hey, Optimus."

At hearing the Bot's name Jack's eyes widened. *This is Optimus Prime?!*

"Hello, Ruby and her friends for those who don't know. We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron, also known as Autobots."

Jack walked up to Optimus. "Why are you here?'

"To protect your world from the Decepticons."

Arcee who was standing next to Optimus cut in. "The jerks that tried to bump us off last night."

Jack looked from Arcee back to Optimus. "Okay, why are they here?"

Optimus knelt down to them. "A fair question Jack. In part, it is because our planet is uninhabitable from centuries of fighting a civil war."

It was now Raf's turn to ask. "Why were you fighting a war?"

"For the most part, it was for control of our world's supply of Energon it is what fuels us. Both Autobots and Decepticons alike."

At that moment Ruby cut in. "It means that it is their blood. So if you see them bleed to try and keep any type of fire away from them. Well unless it is a Con then maybe that wouldn't be a bad idea."

Miko was about to ask how Ruby knows this but Optimus went on explaining the war to them. He went on telling them about Megatron and Miko got a little bored about the matter. "Is there going to be a quiz about this?"

At that moment Ruby really Wished Weiss was here because she so wanted to do to Miko what Weiss would normally do to her. But before Ruby could pull a Weiss Jack spoke up. "So what does this have to do with us?"

"Megatron hasn't been seen or heard from in three years. And with what Ruby has told us and with the Decepticons starting to make a move I fear, that he is coming back and soon.

At that moment Soundwave picked up on something and showed it to Starscream. "it is coming from deep space Soundwave. I would hate to waste Energon unless your one hundred percent certain."

Soundwave nodded his head which Starscream took as him saying that he was certain. "Then lock on transmission coordinates and activate the space bridge."

They did as they were told and then Megatron past through the space bridge. "Decepticons! I have returned."

As the Decepticons were flying Soundwave walked up to Megatron. "Ah, Soundwave was there something you found when I was away but didn't trust Starscream with the info at the time?"

Soundwave nodded his head which Starscream saw nod made him mad. But he didn't say anything and Megatron walked up to Soundwave. "And what might that be?"

Soundwave played the part that he left out last time. "But hey Cliff at least Optimus let you take Ruby with you. Speaking of Ruby, is she okay I would have thought that she would have spoken up by now?...Cliff? Is Ruby okay?...Cliff, nothing happen to Ruby right? Both Vector Prime and Optimus would kill you if anything happens to her. Especially since Vector Prime himself asked Optimus to protect and train her."

At hearing Vector Prime's name being used all of the Cons present optics widened in shock. Even Megatron was at a loss for words for a moment but then he looked at Soundwave with determination to finding out who this Ruby is. "How many bots have Ruby in their name?!"

Soundwave already knew that he would ask that and showed him how many there were know so far. Which Megatron didn't like what he saw. "45,863,894 bots have Ruby in their name!"

Starscream thought of something. "Isn't Vector Prime the Prime of time? So for all, we know this Ruby could be the next Prime after Optimus and Vector Prime took Ruby from the future."

At hearing that made Megatron even madder. "I want all Cons to keep an optic out for this Ruby."

Just then they finally got to the Energon mine.

The got into the mine "Out of all the Energon deposits we have found so far, this one gives us the most Energon out them all."

Starscream pointed to one of the Cons. "You, their bring me a sample."

"Starscream, now that I have returned. I will be giving out the orders."

"Yes Megatron, should I open the space bridge for the army you have gathered over the past three years?"

"My army will come, but I found something that will make them come to me. The blood of Unicron."

"Unicron they say that his blood is the anti spark."

"Yes, Dark Energon."

"legend say that it has the power to revive the dead."

"We only need a cadaver to be certain."

Megatron looked at Starscream. "Are you willing to make the ultimate sacrifice?"

"That may not be necessary. If I may?"

Just then some Cons brought over CLiffjumper's body to the two. "Consider it a welcome home present."

Back at the Autobot base, Optimus was still talking to Jack, Miko, and Raf as to why the three were at the base. "And since you now know of us and I fear the Decepticons may know you as well ever since last night."

Ruby looked at Jack knowing what he was about to say since before Optimus started talking she remembered the whole speech he did. But she knew something was coming but didn't remember what it was. But at the moment Ruby just smirked at Jack since she thought what he was about to say is a little funny to her. Especially since she knew Miko won't agree with him "Got it if we see odd cars call the cops. Can we go now?"

"Are you insane? I'm living a dream here, and I won't let you or anyone else shatter it!"

At that moment Optimus stepped in. "It is best that you three remain under our watch. At least till we can figure out what is the best course of action with you three."

At that moment Miko noticed that he only reference three of them and not all of them. "Three? What do you mean three? there are four of us."

Ruby looked at Miko more so than Jack at the moment. "Miko, I live here. The bots are my legal guardians."

At hearing that Miko and Raf's eyes widen Jack already knew about the bots being Ruby's guardians ever since last night when she walked him home. But neither Miko and Raf had that talk yet. At that moment Miko started to talk. "These guys are your legal guardians like my host parents are my legal guardians till I go back to Japan?"

Ruby nodded her head. "Yes, Miko they are."

At hearing that Miko's smile grew. "Sweet! I'm soo sleeping over sometime!"

At hearing that all of the Bots just shook their head. And Ratchet was trying to get the three new humans out of the base. "Optimus with all due respect. The children are just in much danger here than out there."

Jack was not happy being called a child. "Children?!"

"They don't have protective layers if we step on them then they will go squish."

He stomped once to prove a point. But Ruby was having none of that. "Ratchet, I've been living here since some time during the summer. And none of you have stepped on me yet."

Ratchet looked at her with a counter to what she said. "One at the time we only had to keep an eye out for you not four. Two your from another planet yourself. And with that fact alone your type of humans have powers and can take a hit, unlike these three humans. As well as the fact is that your not of this time and are the reincarnation of Optimus Prime himself that Vector Prime himself had brought to this time for us to watch and to train for your great enemy!"

At hearing what Ratchet had just said Miko, Jack, and Raf looked back and forth between Optimus and Ruby. Jack was the first to speak. "Wait the two are one in the same?"

Optimus nodded his head and Jack continued. "How?"

Ruby was the one to speak. "In my time Earth and Cybertron somehow combined together to be one planet. And my time's version of Megatron is doing harm to my planet. So, me being Optimus 2.0 I have to learn what he knows, regain my memories, get back to my time and get all of Team Prime 2.0 to remember their past lives including yours. All so that we can stop Megatron in my time frame. Doesn's that sound fun?"

At that moment Miko spoke up. "Yeah! That is so cool!"

Ratchet tried to get control of the situation but Optimus spoke up since he heard Ruby say that the three had to help in her time meant that they played a role in this battle they were in right now. "Then, for the time being, we will just keep a better eye for them and watch our step even more so than before."

Just then lights went off as well as a sound and Jack got worried. "Whats that?!"

[Proximity sensor and it looks like someone is up top.]

But seeing that Miko and Jack didn't get what he said Raf spoke up. "Proximity sensors, someone is up top"

Ratchet looked at his PC. "It's Agent Fowler."

Jack looked at Ruby. "I thought we were the only humans that knew about them?"

Ruby looked up to Optimus signaling that he could tell them which Optimus turned to them. "Agent Fowler is our liaison to the outside world. He only tends to show up when there are issues."

Ruby looked at them. "You might want to hide he hates surprises, and if he sees you. Well, I don't know where he would take you three."

So the three went and hid from Agent Fowler. And Agent Fowler finally got down and started to rant out what he heard about yesterday and go to his question. "So, anything you want to get off your tin metal chest Prime?"

Even though others would remember Optimus being the one doing the talking about the matter until their next lifetime. The truth is Ruby was the one to speak. "I'm sorry, Agent Fowler it was all my fault."

At hearing that everyone looked at Ruby with confusion and Fowler wanted her to tell him why she said that. "Really how so?"

"Well, yesterday after school the Bots and I went to look for Energon. I was with Cliffjumper and he took me to New York City and told me to go to one of its shops. When I got back he was gone and by the time we found out where he was. He got killed by some Decepticons and all we found was one of his horns. After we buried it I asked Arcee to take me out for a drive, but just our luck the Cons somehow found us and Arcee and me had to drive for our lives. We called for backup and Bee came when he did to help out then later in a more secluded place Bulkhead showed up to help us out. Again I'm so sorry if I didn't ask for that ride it wouldn't have happened. It's just Cliff's death reminded me of what happened to Penny and Pyrrha in my time frame."

At hearing that Fowler felt sorry for her and looked at Optimus. "So they are back?"

"I doubt they ever had left. Your planet is much too valuable."

"Then it's time to wake up the boys in the Pentagon."

"Hear me, Agent Fowler. We are your best possible answer and only defense against the Decepticons.

"Says you!"

Bulkhead had it at that moment. "Hey, fleshy! Did anyone get splattered on the freeway?"

He then grabbed something. "Team Prime knows when to hold back and when to go full out."

He then crushed what he had in his hand and Ratchet saw what it was, "Bulkhead! I needed that!"

Optimus stepped in. "Enough! Agent Fowler any military investment will only lead to catastrophe. You may condone human bloodshed, but I do not."

Ruby then stepped in. "He's telling the Truth he hates getting others involved in the war."

Fowler looked at Ruby and then at Optimus. "Then do us both a fave Prime, and keep it on the down low. Or I will."

And with that Agent Fowler left and Bulkhead then spoke up. "Pretty big talk for a human."

Ruby then looked at him with disapproval. "Hey!"

At hearing Ruby's voice Bulkhead a looked down and saw that Ruby was not happy with what he said and knew that he was on thin ice with her. Which brought him worry as he remembered what she did to Cliffjumper when they first met. Optimus then spoke up. "He is just worried about his planet and his people. As he should be."

Megatron walked over to the dead body of Cliffjumper. "Let's see if the power of Dark Energon is true and can reignite a spark?"

At that moment Megatron stabbed the Dark Energon into Cliffjumer. Which it went into Cliffjumper's body and then he began to glow and came back to life as a bot zombie. Cliffjumer broke free from his bonds and randomly attacked the Cons. Megatron liked what he saw but it brought fear to Starscream. "That's your plan, bring Autobots back from the dead to attack us?!"

"That is no longer an Autobot. It is a mindless best with the only instinct is to attack anyone near it."

Just then Cliffjumper ran up to Megatron and Megatron cut him in half. "Their Starscream is the seed to my indestructible army. The ultimate weapon, I just need to find a way to control it."

At that moment Ratchet picked up on Cliffjumpers life signal. "Blasted Earth tech! Cliffjumpers life signal just went back online."

Miko looked at Ratchet. "Cliffjumper? Didn't Ruby say he was dead?"

Optimus was shocked at hearing the news. "How is that possible?"

"It isn't. Another bug!"

Arcee looked at Optimus. "If there is any chance that Cliffjumper is alive."

Optimus started to head to the ground bridge. "Ratchet, prepare the sickbay we may need it."

Miko looked at him. "What can we do?"

"Stay here with Ruby and Ratchet."

Both Ratchet and Miko said the same thing. "Ahhh."

Ruby didn't complain since she knew that the team wanted to make sure that Megatron didn't found out about her for as long as they can. Even if two Cons saw her yesterday. Optimus continue to head towards the ground bridge. "Autobots roll out!"

As soon as they went into the ground bridge they were gone Ruby looked at her three friends which at that moment Jack spoke up. "What just happened?!"

Ratchet spoke up. "I just sent them to where Cliffjumper is by the ground bridge."

Raf was the one to ask the question. "Whats a ground bridge?"

Ratchet sighed. "A scale down of space bridge technology. Since we don't have the means or the Energon for intergalactic travel."

Jack walked closer to Ratchet. "So you're stuck here on earth."

"With the likes of you yes. But I made the ground bridge so we can travel anywhere on earth."

Raf was amazed at what he just heard. "Wow... does it work on humans?"

"Naturally."

Miko was then the one who walked closer to Ratchet. "So I can visit my parents back in Tokyo?"

"Within moments."

That was when Ratchet got an idea in his head. "In fact I allow me to send you all three of you there immediately."

"Miko then put her hand on her hips. "Watch it Ratchet."

Ruby looked at the two and saw Ratchet's look of shock at being talked back at by a little girl since Ruby was at most times very nice to everyone. Ruby just giggled at the whole thing. But at the same time, something bothered her. *I have a bad feeling about what is about to happen.*

At the other end of the ground bridge, Optimus and the others found themselves in an Energon mine. Bulkhead was the one to state the obvious. "Energon mine."

Optimus walked past him. "From the size of this mine. I would have to say that the Decepticons have been mining here for some time now."

The Autobots hid and saw the Decepticons at work. Optimus looked around and then made up his mind. "Autobots lets find Cliffjumper."

The group walked towards the Decepticons which the Cons started to fire at them and they did the same. Arcee jumping over Cons and kicking off their heads. She then started to blast some of the Cons to her right when Bulkhead started to hit the Cons on her left with is wrecking ball hand and blaster. Bumblebee was not too far blasting some of the Cons when Optimus who ahead of her was at blasting his way through and just got done kicking one of the Cons.

Back at the base, Miko was looking at some stuff. "What's this?"

Ratchet just passed her. "Broken don't touch."

Seeing that Ratchets back was turned she was about to touch something when all of a sudden. "Don't touch that either!"

Miko just looked at him. *Okay how did he do that?!*

Jack walked up to Miko. "Is there anything here we can touch?"

Ruby just rolled her eyes as she was polishing Crescent Rose not thinking about what would happen when Miko took notice of her weapon. Just then one of Ratchets PC's screens was showing error and Raf saw it. "Why are you guys using human computers?"

"It's certainly not my choice on the matter! It was left here by the previous tenants of this base. I make modifications as I see fit."

Just then all of the screens was showing error and not just one each but many. Which made Ratchet sigh in frustration. Which made Raf feel sorry for him. "I think I can fix that."

As soon as he heard that Ratchet looked at him and didn't take Raf very seriously. "Oh, really? You do know this is complex technology right?"

At that moment Ruby stopped polishing Crescent Rose to look at Raf who was connecting his laptop to his computer frame and gave him a knowing look. Without knowing that Ruby was watching Raf began to work on the problem, and Ratchet kept on talking. "I mean it isn't a child's toy."

As soon as Raf was done he looked up to Ratchet. "Now try."

Ratchet looked at his screens only to see that everything was fixed and the trend back to him in shock which made Ruby laugh. "Ha, ha, ha! Don't underestimate Raf Ratchet. He is just as great with computers as I'm with weapons."

It was at that moment Jack, Miko, and Raf took notes of the weapon that Ruby was holding. Which Jack was able to recognize. "Hey isn't that the weapon you used yesterday when you helped Raf and me get away from the Cons yesterday?"

Ruby nodded her head. "Yep! This is my baby Crescent Rose. She is a scythe mixed with a customizable high-impact sniper rifle."

Raf didn't know much about guns so he was at a loss at what she just said. "Um...What?"

"It's also a gun."

"Oh."

At hearing that Miko ran up to her. "Oh! So cool! Can I hold it?!"

Ruby gave her an apologetic look. "Sorry, Miko but no I can't let you hold on to Crescent Rose."

"Ahh, why not?"

"Becuase as I said to the Autobots on Remnant the scythe is the most deadliest weapon on the planet. Not only because if taught right it wielder of the scythe becomes nearly impossible to beat. But also the fact that there is only a 2% chance that you can wield it and live. Most people who try and learn how to use a scythe as a weapon end up killing themselves at some point when trying to learn how to use it. Most times it is their first try at using a scythe. It is part of the reason why people call it the weapon of death."

At hearing that Miko took a few steps back actually being scared of the weapon. Raf looked at it in fear and Jack was worried about Ruby's safety. "Ruby are you sure you want to have such a weapon?"

Ruby looked at him and smiled. "Yes, Jack I do and don't worry I was taught by my Uncle Qrow who is a scythe master. So I'm in that 2% group that can use a scythe and live."

"Wow, that is very impressive."

Ruby shrugged her shoulders. "Yeah I guess, but I have many weak points that I need to work on."

"Like what?"

Ruby kept on answering friend's questions which gave Ratchet the piece of mind for him to work.

At the same time, the team was fighting through the mine Onc of the Cons tried to use one of the drills on Bulkhead who hit it down with one of his wrecking ball hands. Arcee caught up to Optimus and who at the time just blasted the last Con that was in the aria at the time. Bumblebee walked over to them and soon Bulkhead joined them. the four were walking for the moment until the saw more Decepticons some of them on drills and some just walking to them. Optimus started to run to them and the others joined. "Autobots maximum overdrive!"

And with that, they all went into their alt modes and drove past them while hitting some of them and sending them flying. They soon made it to the center of the mine. They all changed back into their normal modes and hid behind some crates looking around to see if they could find Cliffjumper. Bulkhead whistled at what they saw. "Quite the operation they got here."

Just then they started to get blasted at by the Decepticons. Which Bulkhead ducked since he was almost hit and the others started to use their blasters which Bulkhead soon joined in.

Meanwhile, on the Decepticons ship, Megatron was looking at a large piece of Dark Energon. "Blood of Unicron"

He then walked closer to it. "How may I be worthy and be able to to use and control your astonishing power?"

Just then Starscream popped up on a screen. "Megatron! Intruders have been detected in the mines. "

"Optimus?"

"Indeed."

Megatron fully turned around to look at the screen. "I still need more time to get ready to show myself to my once old friend. Prepare the ship for departure."

At hearing that shocked Starscream. "But the Energon! I mined the Autobots will take it!"

"Then blow up the mine!"

The Autobots kept on blasting looking for Cliffjumper. Which so happened Arcee was the one to see him. "It Cliff, I have a visual."

Optimus looked at her. "We will cover you. Go!"

Arcee went into her bike mode and started heading to Cliffjumpers body. At some point, she changed back to her normal mode do flips and jumps until she made it to him. Which she gasped in in horror at what she just saw. Cliff lower half was missing and the color of his Energon was no longer blue but purple. Arcee was going to go help Cliffjumper when some of the Cons started to blast where Cliffjumper was and Arcee couldn't get near him. But then the floor that he was on broke and he began to fall. Arcee saw this and ran up to him. "Cliff!"

At that moment she was able to grab his hand and was now trying to pull him up. Optimus then shot at the Cons that were shooting at Arcee and Cliffjumper. Arcee smiled and looked down at Cliffjumper. "Let's get you home partner. Ruby's waiting for us back at base."

Just then Cliffjumper looked at her and it brought fear to Arcee at what she saw. "Oh, Cliff what have they done to you?"

Cliffjumper started to struggle to the point where Arcee couldn't keep a hold on his hand and he began to fall. Arcee's hand was still stretched out to him. "Cliff! Noo!"

Optimus saw Cliffjumper fall and he looked at him in fear as did Bumblebee and Bulkhead. When Cliffjumper finally hit the ground Optimus looked at where he fell and then looked at Arcee to see the devastated look she had as she whispered. "No...Cliff"

Just then they all heard laughter and looked up to see that it was Starscream. "Prime."

Optimus was looking at him trying to hold back his anger that he had at the moment. When Starscream just smiled at him Bulkhead and Bumblebee ignoring Arcee. "I would stick around but I'm scream-ish."

Just then Starscream dropped a bomb and changed into his flight mode and flew off. The bomb landed not too far away from Cliffjumper and Bulkhead stated the obvious. "The place is going to blow!"

At that moment Optimus turned around. "Autobots roll out!"

They all went into their alt modes and drove away from the bomb. Soon the bomb went off and the mine exploded. Optimus started to call back to base. "Ratchet open a ground bridge to our entry coordinates NOW!"

Ratchet did so and as soon ground bridge each of the Autobots came through and changing back to their normal mode with Optimus being the last with blue fire following him but the fire stopped as soon as Ratchet close the ground bridge. All the humans except for Ruby looked at the Bots and said one word. "Wow!"

Ruby instead was looking around for Cliffjumper and was walking over to Arcee. Ratchet looked at the other Bots cutting it a bit close. How about Cliffjumper?"

At that moment Optimus, Arcee, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee gave him a dejected look and Ruby looked like she was going to cry as soon as she saw that. Miko started to started asking a million questions. "What was that explosion? Was there a fight? Can I come next time?"

Arcee looked at her as if she was ready to kill Miko. "Look!"

Just then Jack stepped in. "Hey, why don't we go see what they hide in their sock drawers?"

She just looked at him in annoyance. "Seriously?"

Jack pulled her away and Optimus walked over to Arcee. "What did you see?"

"Not Cliff... At least not anymore...Mutated...Butchered...Something like those Con experiment during the war!"

Just then Arcee felt dizzy and fell down leaning on some crates. [Are you okay?]

Arcee put up one of her hands. "I'm fine...Just dizzy."

"Robots that get dizzy?"

"Robots with emotions."

"Robots who can die." Jack finally said after Miko and Raf and then started to look at Ruby who was crying about what happened to Cliffjumper and feeling sorry for her.

Ratchet was now scanning Arcee to see what is wrong with her when he found something on her hand. "Whats this?"

"Don't know... It was all over Cliff and was coming out of him as well."

Ruby got closer and as soon as she saw what was on Arcee's hand her eyes widen as she was remembering everything to do with the stuff on Arcee's hand which Jack saw this. "Um... Ruby Are you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost."

But Ruby didn't answer still being lost in Optimus's memories. Which Ratchet took note of. "She probably is regaining some more of Optimus's memories. It happens at times and is part of the reason why we don't want her to fight any Decepticons. She should soon snap out of it, as for Arcee."

Ratchet scraped off a sample. "Go into the decontamination chamber bath now."

Bumblebee helped Arcee up and helped her to the decontamination chamber. Just then Jack looked at his cell and noticed what the time was. "Um... Optimus sorry to bother, but no bars."

"A security precaution the walls block all cell phones. Ruby's scroll is the only exception to the rule."

"Well if I don't call my mom now she'll call the police and they will start looking for me."

Optimus leaned down to them."Did you break the law?"

"Um...Curfew, it's past ten. Don't you have one for Ruby?"

Raf now looked at Optimus. "I need to go home to. If I don't I will ground me for a year."

"Earth customs I haven't thought of that."

He then stood up straight. "But your safety is still a matter. Bulkhead accompanies Miko home."

"Awesome my host parents are going to freak."

"And maintain covert surveillance in vehicle mode."

"Curbside duty got it."

At hearing that upset Miko but she wasn't going to push her luck. "Bumblebee you'll watch over Raf."

Bumblebee looked at Raf who smiled back at him. "Ratchet."

"Busy!"

Just then Arcee walked out of the decontamination chamber. "Arcee you'll accompany Jack."

Jack wasn't all that sure he was going to like that. Because of their of how the two met. Which right away Arcee wanted out of it. "Oh...still feeling dizzy."

"You're fine, so says your physician."

Arcee looked at Ratchet angrily.

Soon the six of them left and Ruby finally got out of it and looked around the room. "Um...Where is everybody?"

"Arcee, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead have taken your friends home and will be watching over them for now on."

"Oh."

"Which reminds me, you should go to bed it is late."

"But Optimus! The stuff that was on Arcee's hand...!"

"Can wait until tomorrow. Right now you need rest."

Ruby was about to talk about the Dark Energon but saw the look Optimus was giving her and knew that he won't let her talk right now. "Okay."

And with that, she went off to bed.

A/N: I don't know if there are any bots with Ruby in their name or not Transformers Primes and animated are the only Transformers shows I really watch in my life. Other Transformers never really caught my eye. The only reason I knew about Elita One is from all the fanfics that had Optimus being Jack's dad and Elita One being Jack's mom aka June and that she did show up in the animated version when she became Airachnid so I put the two and two together to get that the two are really close in other show. I just wanted you to know that without letting it be spoiling it ahead a time thank you.
