Chapter 1 - The Mission

On Cybertron

After the destruction of the 'High Council' who were Desepticons disguised as Autobots that tried to invade Earth, with the help of Optimus and Bumblebee's teams, a new Temporary High Council was made until full elections could be made. But the people of Cybertron thought that the Council was already perfect with the bots; Ratchet a war medic, Jazz, Windblade and Bulkhead who were soldiers. It has been peaceful on Cybertron for a whole year but adventures are still happening...

Firefly was on the roads of Iacon moving home for work. Again. She was a small and slim vehicle mode of a Bugatti Veyron Mansory Vivere, with the colours of black and white, which she thought was a beautiful and elegant design which originated from Earth.

While she was driving it gave her time to think about what happened in the past year; being controlled by the 'Council' was not the best thing that could happen to someone because they were Decepticons which she should have noticed, because Firefly was a File Organiser who helped the Police Force handle overloaded files, which contained information of every Decepticon created including the ones on Earth.

Firefly was the nicest Autobot you could ever meet, even though her past was rough she didn't give up so easily.

When she arrived at the Police Station, she transformed into bot mode and went towards the doors that opened automatically and stepped inside. The Station was busy, everyone was walking around having somewhere to go urgently and people at the consoles were typing fast. It made Firefly nervous with this many bots walking around, it brought memories of the war. But she shook her head and headed to the reception desk to say that the File Organiser has arrived. The receptionist nodded and typed, then they pointed her in the direction of the basement which contained a huge console of files.

Firefly wanted to admire the hardware but she knew that that's not what she came here for. For the past three or four hours she typed and typed and typed until her HUD displayed that she was low on energon. 39%. 'Not good, better to get energon before I faint' she thought, and glanced back at the console which had all the files organised which meant her work is done 'I've done all I could do'. Firefly headed upstairs to the energon dispenser in the lounge area, where a few Police bots were taking a break for five to ten minutes. There were tables and chairs, like a cafeteria. She headed to the dispenser and poured herself a cube of energon and sat down on a chair because her leg struts were aching really badly for standing for three hours...it felt good to sit down. She lifted her right arm and drank the energon slowly. The energon slid down her throat and sat pleasantly in her tanks. 'I shouldn't have skipped breakfast' she scolded herself. While she was drinking the rest of her cube a police bot approached her, with a serious look on his face. When Firefly saw him, she finished her energon and looked up at him with a questioning look. The mech spoke "Are you Firefly?"

She nodded "Yes"

"The High Council has requested your presence."

Firefly was raised her brows in surprise. "Oh, did they say why?" She asked intrigued

"Yes, they wish to see some important files of the most wanted Decepticons on Cybertron and Earth."

Firefly opened her mouth to ask more questions but the police bot walked away to continue his work. She. Was. Shocked. And confused. But she didn't want to disobey the Council's orders so she gathered every piece of information she could, stepped onto the road, transformed and drove off.

She arrived at the Council building which was luckily in Iacon. She transformed and walked toward the really big and grand building. When she arrived at the large double door she was starting to get a bit nervous about meeting the Autobots that helped save Cybertron AND Earth. 'Calm down Firefly, just go in and give the files that they asked for, and who knows, they might be nice' She reassured herself in her prossesor.

Firefly walked towards the two large doors which opened itself when she was close enough. Once she was inside she heard one of the Council members talking.

"...that's why it's a good idea. It'll be perfectly safe and-"

A white autobot known as Jazz stopped mid sentence as he noticed a slim, black and white femme walking towards them, surprisingly quiet and standing on a platform for them to hear her better. All the Council members now noticed.

"I'm sorry if you were talking about something important, I can come back at a later time if-"

"No, no it's quite alright. What's your name and purpose of your visit?" Asked a white and older looking mech high above her in the middle, probably named Ratchet.

"I am Firefly, I have the files that you asked for."

She held up her arm in front of herself and showed the holographic files and sent them to the Council's system and lowered her arm.

Ratchet looked at Jazz and they both nodded in understanding. Then Ratchet spoke "Thank you. We appreciate your help." He said kindly.

"You're welcome," Firefly said but her curiosity got the better of her "But why did you need me to bring the files personally to you?" She immediately felt too nosy so she spoke up again. "I'm sorry, I should not have pried."

"Don't apologise, because we actually brought you here for a mission." Spoke a bulky and green autobot soldier, Bulkhead.

"Mission? What mission?" Firefly asked curiously.

"For you to travel through the Spacebridge to Crown City on Earth to help Bumblebee's team to capture Decepticons."

Firefly stared blankly at the Council with her light purple optics for a moment...

"Why me?"

Ratchet then explained "We know of your past as a soldier who fought for Cybertron, but when you were seriously injured you were put on a transport away from Cybertron for your safety since you were still a neutral, and we didn't want to make the decision for you. When you came back you became a File Organiser for most of the Police bots, so your knowledge of Decepticons that are on Earth is an excellent advantage. Will you agree to take on this mission?"

There was a long pause for Firefly to think about what was happening. The word 'soldier' brought bad memories of the war and her injury which took a long time to repair, but it mostly reminded her of her brother who went MIA so no one knows what happened to him. Then Firefly realised she was quiet for too long and had to speak again.

"I know I was a soldier during the war, but that was a long time ago and therefore I've forgotten most of my training, wouldn't it be dangerous for me?"

"Don't worry," the medic spoke up again reassuringly "You will not be alone, Windblade will train and help you capture the Decepticons while you're on Earth. So, do you accept?"

Firefly thought for two whole minutes...and accepted.

"Good, Windblade will show you to the Spacebridge. Good luck."

The autobot known as Windblade stood behind her chair on a platform that lowered to the ground floor. As Windblade walked up to her, Firefly felt a strange feeling in her tanks saying to not embarrass herself.

"Alright, let's go" Windblade said somwhat excitedly.

5 minutes of walking through the halls later...

"Here it is," Windblade said as we reached a door in the hallway on the left. We walked in and saw the Spacebridge. Windblade went to the controls and put in the coordinates to Crown City, she pushed a button and the portal opened.

"Ready?" Windblade asked. Firefly nodded shyly and they both walked through the swirling green portal.
