Chapter 2
Shadow pov
Once I get over the shock of seeing my carrier I move in front of her stasis pod and start looking over the controls. Seeing as how I have paws instead of hands I won't be able to operate the controles, I push Optimus towards the controles to do it for me. He started to type in comands as I move next to him, as he typed I kept jumping in anticipation.
The stasis pod opens and the room filled with steam, once it clears I watch as Solus Prime walks out of the pod. She stretches and when she finishes she looks around. "Strange, I thought this place had been destroyed." She said a bit confused, she then turns and stops when she spots me, she gasps before smiling, "SHADOW!" She shouts with joy and runs over to me before pulling me into a hug. "My little Sparkling I'm so happy your alright." Normally I would have returned the hug but I was unable to in this form.
She releases me and was about to speak but stopped when she saw Optimus, "Oh, sorry, I wasn't aware you brought someone else." Now that I had other Cybertronians to compare her to, Solus Prime was about the same height as the yellow one back on Earth.
Optimus once he got over his shock, bowed in front of her, "It is an honor to meet you Solus Prime. I am Optimus Prime, during your absence I was the last of the primes."
Solus gave a small laugh, "You don't have to bow, it is good to see that there are still Primes." She looked at Optimus's chest piece for a moment, "I see you have the Matrix of Leadership within you. That means Primus himself made you a Prime." Optimus stands back up.
"Yes, Primus gave me the Matrix, before he went into stasis." Solus looked shocked, Optimus then explains what had happened since she was gone. Since I already knew what happened I decided to look around for anything I could use to heal. Unfortunately after a several hours I found nothing to help me, I did however find something that might help. I found Solus Primes second forge, while not as powerful as the real forge it was still powerful. I pull the forge onto my back before heading back to my Carrier and Optimus to let her know what I found. Once I return I find the two had finished talking and Solus was having him clarify something.
"So let me get this straight, he started a war because he didn't get what he wanted?" She said in annoyance, Optimus responded with a nod, Solus gained an annoyed expression before clenching her fist, "If I had my forge right now." I make a howling noise to get their attention and I drop the forge in front of me. She smiles and picks it up, "I'll be back in a few minutes." She gives a small wave before walking outside. For the next few hours the only noise we could here were the sounds of explosions, shredding metal, and shouts of anger. I'm also sure I heard what I can only assume were several Insecticons meeting VERY unpleasant ends at the hand of my Carrier.
She came back in with an honest to Primus smile on her face, "I feel better, so, what do we do now?" She asked as she put her forge on her back.
"Now we return to earth." Solus and I nod as we follow Optimus back to where we arrived earlier. Once there I move in front of them, my Optics turn purple and I unleash another howl, a Purple Space Bridge once again appears in front of us. Optimus and I walk through first.

Earth
We exit the portal and we arrive back in the base, it also seemed we had arrived at the exact moment that everyone was in the control room, great, I can introduce them to my Carrier all at once. Once I move out of the portal, the blue one spoke up, "Optimus, where have you and Shadow been? We've been looking all over for you."
"We have been out of communications range for some time, bringing back someone who was thought lost forever." Optimus motions towards the portal as Solus Prime walks through, once she is out of the portal it closes and she looks around. "It is my honor to introduce to you all, Solus Prime." The Autobots stare at her in shock as Solus looks around at the base.
"This is a strange base but I could see how it could be useful." She said before looking at the other cybertronians. "Greetings, I am Solus Prime." She gave a bow before looking back at them, they each had a shocked expression on their face. I gave a small chuckle, I wonder how the decepticons will react to seeing her? I move next to my Carrier and nudge her, she looks down and smiles at me, "Of course, let's see what I can do about your T-cog.
While the others were still coming to realize that Solus was here, Optimus brought Solus and I to a large empty room which they called the SAFE. He then left to brief his team on what happened, "Alright, let's see what the problem is." She held out her forge and blue energy flowed from it to me. I felt a surge of energy course through my veins, blue holographic screens of all shapes and sizes start to appear around me. I immediately got worried when a few of them were red, Solus looked over the red areas before letting out a sigh of relief. "The good news is the damage isn't as bad as I thought, your self repair program should have these fixed up soon enough. Then you can give your carrier a proper hug." She smiled and looked me in the eyes as the screens disappeared.
I smiled and moved next to her and gave a hug as best I could. Before anything else could happen I hear a familiar voice, "Shadow!" I turn and spot the human from yesterday, Miko if I remember correctly, being followed by the other two humans. I was immediately happy to see the female human because she seemed interesting.
Solus looked at me confused before looking at Miko then back to me, "Aw, did you make a friend?" She asked with a smile and I nod. Miko stops in front of me and I lay down so my muzzle is in front of her again.
Solus looked down at Miko, "So, how do you know my Sparkling?" She asked with a smile.
Miko looked up at my Carrier a bit confused, "Who's Sparkling?"
Solus laughed before responding, "Sparkling is not a name, I'm referring to Shadow. In your language Sparkling is like child, I apologize for the confusion. So how do you know my son?" Miko then explained what happened when she woke me up from stasis, Solus was happy that I was able to take down those drones so easily. Miko was more than happy to explain my destructive power.
Once she finished Miko decided to ask a few more questions, "How come he can't talk?"
"It's because his voice box is modified in this form, this allows his howls to have unique abilities. I'm sure Shadow wouldn't mind showing you all if you like?" I had no problem showing them if they wanted. Miko immediately agrees and I stand up and move away from them, I let out a howl and a ground bridge portal appears in front of me, "One thing he can do is make ground bridge portal or a space bridge if he uses more energy." The portal vanishes and I switch the functions to the second one and let out another roar which was longer and was visible, the sonic waves hit the wall causing it to crack before exploding. "The second setting allows him to use a sonic attack that can destroy most materials."
"That's awesome!" I stop the howl and give a smile at Miko's excitement.
"There are more he can do but we are still working on those ones." She stood up and stretched her arms, "Now on to more important matters, if we are going to stay here then I think it's time we go see what this world is like, ready Shadow?" I nod and we were about to leave but the taller human speaks up.
"Woah woah woah!" He said getting are attention, "You can go out like that you'll cause a panic!"
"Yeah on earth you need a disguise in order to blend in." Said the small human, I look at my Carrier who thought for a moment before looking at the small human. Her eyes flash green.
"Very well, I will wait till we have more appropriate forms for the planet." After that the kids then had to head home and get ready for school tomorrow. I'm not sure what that is but it sounded interesting.
The next day
Solus and I were waiting in the S.A.F.E. as she uploaded something into my T-Cog, since mine was still slightly damaged I couldn't transforms at the moment. I still wasn't able to turn into my bi-pedal form but I could at least transform into something else. Once she finished I start to transform, by body started t shrink and one it finished I look my self over in a reflective surface called a mirror. I now looked like a human, I was about as tall as Miko, my Jair was black and spiky, my 'skin' was pale, I had on black jeans and a black long sleeve shirt with white sleeves, and black shoes. The shirt had the symbols of a wolf on it. I had blues eyes but they each had a small white line on the top, I tried to speak but I still couldn't even make a sound.
I look up at Solus who looked down at my with a smile, "Now it's my turn." Her eyes glowed before she started to shrink once she finished she transformed into a female human with long black hair, her skin was slightly tanned, she had on a dark blue short sleeve shirt and black jeans, black fingerless gloves as well as black shoes on. Her forge had shrunk with her and rested on her back, her eyes were bright blue and also had a white line. She looked herself over before noticing her forge and snapping her fingers causing it to disappear. "Not bad, I think we're ready to see what this world is like." I before holding my hand out to create a small ground bridge portal for us to go walk through and we find ourselves in what I assume was the town, "Come on Shadow, lets go see what this place is like."
No pov
Solus and Shadow make their way into town and start to look around, they were a bit oblivious to some of earths customs. Such as walking in the middle of the road and causing cars to swerve and crash. The two cybertronieans were walking when a yellow sports car drove up next to them and the window rolled down to reveal Vince the local school bully.
"Hey hot stuff." He said to Solus, "Whadda you think of my ride?" He said in an obvious attempt to flirt with Solus.
The Prime rolled her eyes before replying in an annoyed tone, "Not interested." She and Shadow started walk forwards but Vince drove next to them again.
"Come on, why don't you-"
He never got to finish his sentence because Solus grabbed the side of his car and lifted the car into the air, the bully started to freak out, "I believe I said I was not interested, now leave me and my son alone." She said sounding VERY angry. With little effort she flipped the car upside down and kicked it across the ground towards an empty parking lot. "Arrogant human." Solus said and Shadow nodded in response.
Thankfully no one was around to see this and no camera was able to see it happen either.
They eventually made their way towards the school the kids were in just before school was ending. Solus was interested in the cars in front of the school so she lifted up one of them to examine it. Thankfully nobody was around to see it but Shadow wanted to look at the school so he walked inside and started to look around. He stopped when he saw Raf sitting at a table while on his computer, he smiled and walked over to the small human and tapped him on the shoulder.
Raf looked at the young prime in confusion, not knowing it was Shadow. "Um, can I help you?" He asked politely. Shadow thought for a moment before pointing at Raf's computer as his eyes lit up. Raf turned to look back at his computer before his eyes widened, on the screen was Shadow in his wolf form and Solus Prime as well before the image transformed into their human forms. "Shadow?" Raf asked in absolute shock, he responded with a nod, he also pointed outside and Raf saw the human form of Solus lifting a car over her head. "Oh boy." Raf said in worry.
