Chapter 22:

This battle easily beat Mission City on which war was worse for wear. We had a few good bots who offlined. I manged to bring them back though, which was a huge strain and now I physically and mentally exhausted.

But I didn't care at that moment. I refused to let Optimus go, afraid that if I did, he'd disappear again. That all of this was just some nightmare. I needed him and I didn't plan on letting him go. I noticed Mickaela and Sam hugging not to far from us, and kissing.

I couldn't stop myself from kissing Optimus a few times either. He was real, here, and that was all that mattered.

I noticed Simmons was here too, hadn't seen him in two years. I heard he had helped us a lot through out the battle. There was also another boy here, one of Sam's college buddies, Leo it think. I pulled away from Optimus for a second and transformed down to my human form.

I walked over to Sam and Mickaela first while Optimus talked with the other bots. They both looked awful, dirty and beaten. Sam's parents weren't any better.

"Hey guys."I said when I approached them

"Jenny!"Mickaela squealed as she pulled me into a giant bear hug.

I hugged her back, smiling at my friends enthusiasm. When she pulled back, I narrowed my eyes at Sam.

"You. If you ever do that again, I swear to Primus I will also bring you back and kill you myself."I warned.

Sam chuckled nervously.

"Sorry Jenny. Didn't mean to scare you."

"Damn straight. Just don't repeat it."I looked at Sam's parents then. "Hello Mr and Mrs Witwicky."

They both smiled.

"Hello Jenny, good to see you again dear."Judy said, giving me a quick hug.

I returned the hug as Ron just said hey back. I smiled before leaving them alone and walking over to where Simmons stood with Lennox and Epps.

"Hey guys. Simmons, good to see you again. I bet you'd be happy to know I met someone I hate a thousand more times than you."I said.

"I don't know whether that was a compliment or an insult."Simmons said, shaking his head.

"Take it as a compliment. You've really proved yourself this time. Besides, the jerk I hate now called Optimus a piece of scrap metal. Let's just sat I beat the shit out of him and he'll think twice before messing with me again."

"Err, thanks I guess."He said, taking a step back.

I giggled before turning to my two friends.

"How do you guys feel?"I asked.

Lennox shrugged.

"Like I just got out of war?"He answered.

I shook my head and smirked.

"Because you did just get out of a war. Well, more like a battle, but hey, tomato- tomata. How about you Epps."I turned towards the dark skinned man.

He shrugged as well.

"Same I guess. What about you?"

I looked towards Optimus before answering.

"I've never felt better. Now I'm just ready to get home to my sparkling and have some peace."I answered.

"Jenny!"I heard someone yell.

I looked up and saw Mandy running towards me. She transformed down to human sized and hugged me tight.

"Oh my God, I'm soo glad you're ok! That battle was crazy! But I'm soo glad Optimus is alive again!"She exclaimed as she hugged me tight.

I giggled.

"Me too. You have no idea how happy I am to finally have him back. How you feeling? You didn't get hurt did you?"I asked concerned.

She waved me off.

"Hush, you're starting to sound like Ratchet! I'm fine, really!"

I giggled again.

"Alright, well, go find said mech and enjoy this victory."I said, pushing my friend towards the CMO.

"I'm going, I'm going! Jeeze, pushy much?"

I shook my head at my friend as she transformed up again and ran over to Ratchet. Mandy, can't live with he, can't live without her.

I myself transformed back up and walked over to Optimus, who was talking with Ironhide and Chromia. I could tell immediately that they were mates. I wasn't sure if they were bonded or not.

"Hey Optimus, hey guys."I said as I approached them.

Optimus lite up when he saw me. He took my hand into his.

"We were just talking about what to do next. My guess is that the decepticons weren't going to give up just yet."Optimus explained.

"I agree. My guess is Starscream and Megatron went into hiding until further notice. I say we just lay low for a little bit and wait for them to strike next."

Optimus nodded his agreement.

"Exactly what I was thinking. Now, I think it is time to leave. We were going to the Nile and taking a boat out to the ocean if I understood correctly."

We all transformed into our bi pedal mode. The soldiers split up, some going to army cars and tanks already their, others to different bots. I had enough seats to fit five. Two up front and three in back. Epps rode with me along three other soldiers I recognized from around base.

Then we were on our way, excited to get to the boats and then back to the states, to our home. The drive lasted only about an hour. Then it took another hour to load everyone and thing onto the boat. Then we were finally moving. I transformed up into my bipedal mode, stretching out as I did so.

Some of the other bots did too, but most preferred to be in their Alt. Modes for trips like this. Optimus was one of them to transform. He walked over to where Sam was standing and staring out at the ocean.

"Thank you Sam, for saving my life."Optimus said.

Sam smiled up at him.

"Welcome."He replied. "Thank you for believing in me."

They both stood there then, side by side, looking out into the ocean. A perfect example that humans and Cybertronians could get along. That we could live in peace. And I knew I would do everything in my power to ensure that. And trust me, I have a lot of power. I may not know most of my powers yet, but I knew I could do this.

I listened to Optimus' message as he sent it into the sky.

"Our races united by a history long forgotten and a future we shall face together. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message so that our pasts will always be remembered, for in those memories, we live on."

And I knew, I knew we could do this. We would win this war, we will live in peace. We wouldn't stop until everything was the way it was supposed to be.

~And now you are ready to begin your training.~

I jumped and looked around, wondering where that voice had come from. It sounded familiar, but different at the same time.

"Hello?"I asked quietly, not wanting to alert the others to me.

~Hello child. Are you ready to begin?~

"Begin what?"

~Your training.~

"Training for what?"

~To save the world.~

I paused. Was this Primus? But how? Usually he spoke in my mind and it was more like a whisper. This, this was like someone was talking to me from right beside me. But there was no one there.

"How?"

~Come with me.~

I felt the pulling then, in my mind. It was persistent, telling me to go deep into the back of my processors and follow what I'm told. It could not be ignored.

"Uh, Optimus."I spoke up.

Everyone looked at me, including the mech I called too.

"I'm about to pass out."I stated simply before giving into the pulling.

I heard people shouting my name as I allowed the darkness to reel me in and take me away from my world.

Then I was in the blackness that I had become so accustomed too. With nothing surrounding me, not knowing where to go. I called out.

"Hello! Where do I go now?"I called out.

~Follow your mind.~

Follow my mind? What the hell does that mean? This little voice was more confusing than Ratchet was when really got into a lecture.

"How the hell do I follow my mind?"I asked/ yelled at the nothingness.

~You know how, child, just relax and listen. You'll find a way.~

I groaned. I had a feeling it was going to be a looong time before I finally managed to get out of here. But I decided that I might as well attempt to do as the strange voice commanded.

So I closed my optics, making the darkness even more dark, if that was possible. Then I relaxed and took a deep breath. As a little girl, my favorite show had been Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And because I was such a huge fan, I taught myself how to meditate, believe it or not.

And that's what I did. I meditated and allowed my whole body to relax. Soon I was aware of everything, and I mean everything!

"Jenny Miyagi. As Primus' reincarnate and the sole key to winning the war, it is time for you to do your training. Here,in your mind, you will have several test to pass. When you pass one, you have acquired a new power that will be a huge essential to winning the war. When you lose, you must start over, to the beginning, where the test will be even harder than before. You will stay her until you complete the final test. Are you ready?"

The voice had boomed from all around me. I never opened my eyes, knowing I needed to stay completely relaxed.

"Yes. I am ready."I answered.

"Good. Good luck on you test, young one. Hurry, your family will be waiting for you on the other side. You can do this, the fate of the world rest on your shoulders. Good luck."

"Right, no pressure or anything."I mumbled.

I knew then that it was time to open my eyes. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. It front of me was a large lake a lava, with seemingly no way a crossed. On the other side, I saw what looked like a key. I knew to pass this level I needed the key.

I looked around again. The only question was, how do I get a crossed?
