Chapter 45:

The humans had betrayed us.

This sentence was circulating through my processor as I tried to come to terms with what it really meant. The humans, my birth people, betrayed us. They attacked my sparkmate without any reason or warning. It was an unfair ambush. Optimus didn't stand a chance. They used every vital information they had on Cybertronians, information we willingly gave them so they could help us fight the Decepticon threat, and they used it against him.

I could still hear his voice in my processor, begging the humans to listen to reason. He was on their side, had always been on their side. Optimus fought beside them and protected them. Yet the betrayed him.

I begged him to run. "Get out of there Optimus! They aren't listening to you!" I pleaded with him. Why hadn't I gone with him? He needed me and I wasn't there. I failed as a sparkmate.

Optimus had gone to an obligatory meeting with the United States government, something he had been doing once a month since they disbanded NEST and terminated our alliance. The government wished to have a progress report on all we had accomplished and a prediction on when we felt it was the right time to leave Earth, my home world.

It should've been an easy in and out. But this time, it was different. It had felt different too. I asked Optimus to come with him. Sometimes the humans felt better with me there because I was born one of them. However, other times it made them feel weary of us. Optimus felt this was not a good time for me to tag along and so I stayed behind with the rest of the bots.

It was a trap.

I felt the pain before I heard his thoughts. The moment he had transformed, they attacked. Optimus ducked what he could, but too many were making their mark. Finally he listened to me and transformed, speeding out of there as fast as he could. They followed after him.

"Jenny, you are all in danger. You must go. Find someplace to hide the rest of the Autobots. I leave you in charge." Optimus spoke through the bond. His voice was rough and raspy, I could hear the pain as much as i felt it. I told him I couldn't do it, not without him. I wasn't a leader. I had spent most of my life alone, with only Mandy as a friend. What did I know when it came to leading an alien army? "You must. I am going to try and hide from them, but I fear I am slipping into stasis lock. I do not know if I will wake."

"Optimus, where are you? We will come find you." I pleaded with him. My spark was beating rapidly within my spark chamber. Optimus refused to tell me his location, however. He feared that they would be waiting and they would find me as well.

"I am hiding now, my angel. However, I am growing weak. Soon enough, I will offline. Stay strong, I know you can lead the Autobots. I love you." His voice grew weaker as he spoke and soon it faded altogether. I felt Optimus's presence leave my spark and I let out an earth shattering scream.

Vaguely I could hear Ratchet and Mandy try to console me, but I was far too gone to care. I had lost Optimus before, but that was before we had become spark mates. Now I felt as if a part of me had been ripped out and I couldn't- wouldn't be able to survive without it.

My chest plates felt as if they were on fire. I reached up and began clawing at them, scratching deeply into the metal plating. "What is she doing, Ratchet?!" Mandy squealed.

Ratchet looked between his sparkmate and her friend, his optics dimmed. "Optimus, no." Was all he managed to say. Mandy understood then. Ratchet had explained to her, before they were sparkmated, that doing so would create an unbreakable bond with one another. It wasn't like a human marriage, there was no divorce. However, if one was to die, the other would feel a pain that was so intense, it would cause them to react violent towards themselves. Never had he seen a Cybertronian live through a spark break, because the Cybertronian always ripped out their own sparks.

Many panicked and tried to stop me. However, I used my powers to create a forcefield around myself, knocking her and Ratchet several feet back. No one was going to stop me. I could not live in a world where Optimus was not alive. I made it to my spark chamber when the world had suddenly froze, including myself. I couldn't move any of my extremities and I could see my friends frozen as they watched me in horror. What was happening?

A familiar Cybertronian appeared in front of me and I gaped in surprise. Primus stood in front of me, a disappointed frown on his face plates. "Jenny, I am disappointed in you. You would end your own life when you have so much left to accomplish?"

He unfroze me and I fell forward unto my metal knees and hands. "Forgive me, Primus, but I cannot live in a world where my sparkmate is dead. I need him to survive."

Primus shook his helm, an amused smirk replaced his frown. "Dear child, your sparkmate is very much alive." That wasn't possible. I had felt him leave my spark. He was gone. "No, he has gone into a deep stasis mode, one which hides all signals of life. That is why you felt him fade away. Optimus needed to hide all that would betray him as Cybertronian. He tried to tell you that."

"Optimus is alive?" I whispered, voice cracking in disbelief.

"Yes, Optimus Prime is alive. Now, my incarnate, you must find someplace to hide your autobot friends. They are all in danger. I'm sorry to say, you cannot save them all. That is not written in the stars. However, I will help you anyway I can. Go, child, make me proud." Primus briefly touched his helm to mine and I shut my eyes. Then he disappeared and time started once more.

I let the force field drop and my friends rushed to my side. "Jenny, are you alright?" Mandy asked as she hugged me tight. I felt Ratchet scan me and I chuckled softly.

"Yes, I'm fine. I apologize for the freak out, it seems it was premature." I informed them.

"Optimus?" Ratchet asked.

"He's fine. Primus said he's in some kind of deep stasis mode. It basically makes him appear like a normal truck instead of a Cybertronian. That's why i couldn't feel him anymore." I explained, ignoring their looks of surprise when i mentioned Primus. Everyone knew I communicated with him from time to time, so it really wasn't much of a shock.

Then I remembered why Optimus had been in danger in the first place. My face plates twisted into a sneer. "We were betrayed by the humans. Optimus was ambushed when he met up with them."

Mandy gasped, feeling the betrayal just as strongly as I did. The human race was our birth race, but the Cybertronians were our family. To think one part of our lives attacked the other was horrible. We had so many human friends in the government, how could they betray us like this. "Do you think… Lennox? Epps? Morshower?" Mandy began hyperventilating at the thought, and interesting sight for a Cybertronian despite the circumstances.

"I don't even what to think about it. They're our friends… were our friends…" I muttered with a frown. Then I shook my head. "It doesn't matter. We need to find a hiding place, someplace the humans cannot find. And quickly. Optimus warned that they might come after us all."

"I will call the others and have them meet us here. Don't worry, I will also inform them of the urgency." Ratchet informed us. I nodded before standing up. "Good, I'll patrol around the area and make sure it is still secure. They won't be able to detect me through my powers, should they be nearby."

Ratchet and Mandy nodded before I transformed into my car mode. I had since changed my alt mode into something I found to be much more fun. I was now a sleek, black 2017 hyundai elantra. I absolutely loved it and it blended in quite well as a normal, everyday human car.

I raced off. We were currently just outside Nashville, Tennessee. We moved locations almost every week, never staying in one area for long. After the incident in Chicago, everyone knew about our existence and the humans hated us. They didn't believe in a good Cybertronian, despite us saving their lives many times. It sucked being hated by my birth race, but i dealt with it the best I could. I had my family and that was all that mattered.

My spark skipped a beat when I thought about my sparkling, Sunfire. I could vaguely feel her still, but it was very difficult. They had gone so far away that I sometimes feared I would never see her again. I missed my daughter with every fiber of my being. I would do anything to see her just one more time.

I hoped they were too far away for her to have felt my little break down moments ago. She had been through so much already, I didn't want her to feel any more pain. It had been four years since I said goodbye to her. We only had a year left on Earth. The humans had a ship ready to take us and our newest recruits, Hound, Crosshairs, and Drift, away from Earth. Now that we had been betrayed, I didn't know if we'd ever get off this planet.

After making several rounds around the surrounding area and putting up some more defenses (which would basically alert me if any decepticons appeared nearby, there was no one to distinguish between bad and okay humans) with my powers, I returned to the others.

By now, everyone had gathered in our current hiding spot. No one ever went too far from the group, it wasn't safe to be separated so much. Even more so now that the humans had betrayed would have to be on high alert for more than just decepticons.

I explained what had happened to the others, including Optimus's order that I be in newer recruits were weary of following me, but Ratchet quickly set them straight. "Jenny is not only Optimus's sparkmate, she is also the reincarnation of Primus himself. If I were to follow any of you, it would be her. Especially if that was Optimus's last request."

"I would follow Jenny to my death. She's always had my back, and now I'll have hers." Mandy agreed with her sparkmate. Bee also made noises to show that he would follow me as well. "This is the most logical course of action. I would be happy to follow in your footsteps." Prowl spoke firmly. After a moment of silence, the other three finally agreed that I was the best choice.

"Good, I'm glad we're all on the same page. Now, first things first, we need to find somewhere to hide. The humans are after us now, that's twice the trouble we need to avoid. There aren't that many decepticons left, but there are enough. We need to get away from human civilization. I was thinking perhaps going to the grand canyon? Its over 270 miles long. We just need to stay away from the tourist areas. Perhaps we could dig out a base of operations?" I directed the last question to Ratchet.

Ratchet nodded in agreement. "Brilliant idea, Jenny. I suggest we leave in a few hours. For now, I imagine all of us could use a bit of recharge." He suggested. Everyone agreed that it was a good idea to wait. I volunteered to keep watch, mainly because I didn't think I could recharge anytime soon. My mind kept wandering back to my sparkmate.

Mandy decided to join me. I transformed into my car mode and she did the same. Then we drove away from the now recharging autobots. Mandy opened a private channel for us on our internal communications. "Are you alright?" She asked me, though she already knew the answer.

"I'm worried about him. I know Primus said he was okay, but I can't feel him. My spark is telling me he's gone, though my processor says otherwise. It's a literal battle between my heart and brain… or well, the Cybertronian version of that." I explained to her.

Mandy didn't speak for a moment as she processed what I had said. "I can't begin to understand how you are feeling. Ratchet has become a part of me since we sparkmated and I don't know what I'd do without that bond. Just remember that you're not alone. And somewhere out there, you have a little femme who is counting on seeing you once more." Mandy finally conveyed to me.

I couldn't help but smile a bit when she mentioned my sparkling. I knew she was right. I still had so much to live for, even if my spark mate wasn't by my side. Hopefully I'll see him again one day. "I know you're right Mandy. I might just need a reminder every once in a while."

"Well, that's what friends are for chica." Mandy giggled over the line. "Man, can you believe that only a few years ago, we were normal high school girls."

I chuckled. "Since when were we ever normal? I had dreams about giant robots and you were crazy enough to believe me. But I know what you mean. I wouldn't trade this life for the world. I do wonder about my mom sometimes. I never did get to say goodbye to her." I frowned inwardly. My mom was always a subject I avoided. Though she had been neglectful, I did love her. It was better to stay away from her though. I would just put her in danger.

"I hear you. My cousin got married a couple weeks ago. You remember Sarah? The one who would always play with us whenever you'd come over and I'd have family there? She married her high school sweetheart. They all think I'm dead. She wrote this long message on my facebook about how she had wanted me to be her maid of honor. It broke my spark." Mandy explained with a dejected tone.

I felt my own spark break. This life wasn't an easy one, but it's a path we were destined to go down. "Being Cybertronian is difficult, but I'm glad this is the life we lead. We're making a difference in the world. Plus, we're sparkmates with two amazing bots." I giggled. Mandy laughed as well and her demeanor immediately improved.

We continued to drive around for the next several hours, keeping our eyes- and our scanners- open for any dangers. As we did, I couldn't help but wonder what the future could possibly hold for me and the other Autobots. Never would I have imagined that I would be leading them without Optimus by my side, but here I was. I knew I would do everything in my power to keep them safe, even at the cost of my own life. However, something Primus said was haunting my mind and I feared it's meaning. Something told me I wasn't ready for whatever it was he had planned.

"...you cannot save them all."

And that be the end of this chapter! Yay! I hope you guys enjoyed it. Hopefully it won't take me too long to get the next chapter out. I have a script and I have the movie recorded on my TV so it won't be too hard to write this out. So I'll see you guys soon. Don't forget, I'm also rewriting chapters from the beginning. So go back and see the rewrite of chapter one! It should be up by now!
