Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers Prime or anything related to them!

A special welcome to the one and only Vector Prime and I agree with fellow fanfiction writer Krem, Vector Prime is not on the list at all and he's one of the MAIN CHARACTERS of Transformers Cybertron is cause of him the Autobots had a change of getting back to Cybertron on time!

Worries and Relieves

Son just arrived at the Nemesis and saw a few Vehicons working on the stations nearby, she walked over to them and tapped one of them on the leg "Excuse me, do one of you know where Soundwave is?" she asked them. One of the Vehicons bend down and lifted her up "I can take you to him if you like, we've heard what had happened how did you manage to get out of the cave?" he asked her while walking towards the bridge.

"I'll explain everything in the bridge once I can get to Megatron, I just hope he's not fighting against the Autobots still or either side give each other a hard time in search for me" she told him while looking a little worried, the Vehicons chuckled and told her "You should have heard him yell through the transmission for a drilling team I'm not sure if he can get any louder than that and when he heard you'd woken up from your recovery he gave Steve and Kevin an spark attack it was hilarious though" Son looked curious at him "Steve and Kevin? Who are they?"

"After you talked with some of us the other cycle, we thought about what you said and many of us came up with names, some of them are the same as our codes like mine B0-B if you change the 0 in a O I'm called Bob" he explained to her. Son smiled at him and hugged his thumb exciting for him and his Vehicon brethren "I'm so happy for you guys, it's great you guys thought about it this way I'm able to tell you all apart and not treat you guys as drones"

They arrived at the bridge and Bob set Sonam down on the monitor desk where Soundwave was stationed. Soundwave looked at her and rubbed her cheeks a little, Son leaned towards the caress "I'm alright Soundwave, but we need to inform the others that I'm here or they'd might get a spark attack if they don't find me" she told him. Soundwave nodded his head and contacted Megatron but he wasn't answering at all, he then tried Knockout "Knockout here, what is it Soundwave were very busy here" he sounded worried and tired at the same time. Son felt a little bad for putting them through that "Knockout it's me I found a way out and contacted Soundwave for a bridge back. You guys can stop now I'm alright" she informed him and it got quiet on the other line.

With the Autobots and Decepticons

Every bot and con where doing their best with the drills and were getting tired, some of them were getting tired but wouldn't stop until they found her. Megatron got so frustrated that he started yelling at Arcee "I swear femme if anything has happened to her I will make you suffer for her pain like I vowed on Arachnid" that got everyone to stop what they were doing watching at what might happen. Arcee sheeted at that "Don't blame me for this if you haven't kidnapped her none of this would have happened at all and don't ever compare me to Arachnid ever again" her eyes looking at Megatron with much defiance. Optimus got between them and tried to calm things down "Arcee stand down! Megatron do not threaten my team what has occurred here was an accident none of us could have seen transpiring or prevent this sudden outburst of your will only delay our mission" Megatron just got angrier at that and was about to punch Optimus in the face when Knockout suddenly spoke "My Lord I've just received word from Sonam, she's alright and is on the Nemesis this moment" he informed everyone.

All the Decepticons let out a sight of relieve or looked surprised at Knockout, Breakdown was the first to say something "Are you serious, how she got out of there?" Knockout just shrugged "She said she'll explain once we get back". Megatron stopped what he was doing and looked at Knockout "Are you certain she is on the Nemesis Knockout?" he asked seriously and looked at him with a no-nonsense-look Knockout gulped under his gaze before he replied "Y-yes, my Liege she on the comm.-link with me right now" while holding out his hands in a surrender gesture. Megatron contacted the Nemesis himself and showed a sign of relief when Sonam answered "Yes Megatron I'm alright and on the Nemesis right now"

The Autobots just couldn't believe what they were hearing that a human willingly allowed herself to go on the Nemesis, they just couldn't believe it. Optimus however kept his eye on Megatron the whole time, something about this human femme made Megatron act very strange it was like a part of the Megatron he knew before the war was struggling to get out and this human seemed to be the trigger. But he wasn't going to get his hopes up, changes were that the human was victim of one of Knockout's experiments and that he didn't want to lose the results. Bulkhead got out of his shock and started yelling " SHE'S ON THE NEMESIS?! AND SHE WENT WILLINGLY? WHAT YOU CONS DID TO HER? Bumblebee jumped at his outburst a little surprised at the news as well and beeped to Optimus [Optimus sir, what do we do? The girl is back with them, I just don't get it which human would willingly go with Cons it just doesn't make sense!] Optimus looked at his young scout and shook his head "I would not know my young friend, but perhaps is future meetings the answer will reveal itself"

Megatron was just relieved she was save and back on the Nemesis he ordered a ground bridge and all the cons went through but before he did he turned around and faced the Autobots "You're all lucky she's save again otherwise I would have made you all pay one by one" he threatened them and went through the portal leaving behind a few stunned looking Autobots and a curious Prime.

Back on the Nemesis

All the cons had just arrived; Breakdown; Knockout and Dreadwing went straight for Sonam and looked her over. Knockout was tending to her injuries, while Breakdown was asking her how she got out of the cave and Dreadwing was constantly apologizing to her for getting her in danger. Son tried to calm them down "Guys, I'm alright honestly. No need to worry about me besides no one could have known what was going to happen. And I got out of that cave through a small entrance, there wasn't enough space but I managed to pull through" she explained to them. All three we're giving a sigh of relief until they heard a loud grunt from behind them, Dreadwing and Breakdown turned around to see their leader standing in front of them and he was glaring at Dreadwing, Son was worried about his friend and was about to explain the situation but Megatron was already starting "Dreadwing would you care to explain how come you did not sense the Autobots coming?"

Dreadwing bowed his head in shame and replied "My apologies, I have been enthralled by the music Son was playing in honor of my brother. I did not notice the Autobots until it was too late, but I did try to shield her from their view" he tried to reason with Megatron hoping that would lighten his punishment which he definitely saw coming.

Megatron was about to say something when Sonam suddenly spoke "Megatron please the fault is mine, had I not played the music and distracted Dreadwing he would have known of the Autobots presence and when they were surrounding him he did his best to shield me, I was the one who went on the other side to get a good view of them. It was my own fault I was discovered, Dreadwing tried to protect me from them the entire time, so if anyone should be punish let it be me and me alone" she told all the while looking at him with determined eyes and awaiting the punishment she would expect from Megatron. Everyone in the room slowed down with their work or either stopped completely to look at her with wide optics, Dreadwing's' was the widest he just couldn't believe she was blaming herself for what had happened and was saving his hide he knew no other Decepticon would do that.

Megatron was speechless for a moment, no one had ever dare take the blame for another in his army and how was he supposed to punish her for what had happened, if he did he might lose his changes with her "None the less Dreadwing was given an ordered and you have been seen by the Autobots and what's worse we almost lost you again, understand that punishment is in order for this not repeat itself" "With all due respect Megatron, I disagree with you" Son told him flatly and everyone completely stopped and it got quiet in the bridge, heck even Soundwave and Lazerbeak looked at her astonished but Son ignored the silence and continued "It is not fair to punish anyone when the events that occur were unpredictable and unavoidable, none of us could have known the Autobots to be there and if they hadn't discover me then it would have been another time and the cave could have been worse I could have been blasted by one of Arcee's blast instead or a huge bolder would have squashed me flat on the ground" many of the cons flinched at the images and some even shuddered at the thought "But if you do insist on punishing anyone, let it still be me because it was my actions that led me to being discovered in the first place and made my entrapment in the cave a consequence so please I beg of you don't let another be punished for what is truly my fault" she started begging him and looked at him with sorrow eyes hoping that it worked.

Megatron was struggling in his mind, the girl had a good point that Dreadwing was not to be blamed and he knew he could trust him with protecting her with his life. Like his brother he had honor and would not dare disobey his orders, still he did not want to punish Sonam at all for what had happened what if she started hating him for it and he could not let her get away with talking to him like that in front of the army it was unheard of. Megatron sighted "Due to your perspective and explanation I will not punish Dreadwing for his lack of focus on your safety, however because you deliberate allowed yourself to be seen by the Autobots and now protecting you outside the Nemesis will be difficult I will have to confide you in your room for two earth days starting now" he told he sternly.

Everyone felt a little sorry for her, but they didn't dare say anything to Megatron about it Son just looked at Megatron and smiled at him. Everyone was just shocked at her reaction, including Megatron "That sounds fair Megatron sir, and I won't disobey you again" she bowed down and asked to be let down so she could walk to her room but Megatron order Lazerbeak to carry her to her room while he was continuing his previous engagement with Soundwave. Everyone else went back to their duties and Knockout pulled Breakdown and Dreadwing towards his medical bay "Come on you two we need to talk and we need to get Soundwave in this conversation as well"

Lazerbeak just arrived in Son's room and allowed her to climb off of him, he gently nuzzled her with his beak indicating he felt sorry for her to be confined here and that he was sorry for letting her get trapped in the cave he chirped at her and Son just hugged his head while gently petting him "It's alright Lazerbeak, I'm not mad at anyone for this I just don't want any of you to get in trouble ans I'm not mad at Megatron either for this besides you couldn't have known about the shot plus you were injured yourself before you could contact the Nemesis, speaking of which how's your wing doing?" she asked him and looked his wing over, it was still pretty damaged and needed a quick patch up. "Ooohh that doesn't look good better head to the med bay Lazerbeak and get this tended to and by the way could you send this around the Nemesis for me maybe?" she send Lazerbeak her images and shots from Knockout's and Breakdown's entrance on the field and the reactions of the Autobots. Lazerbeak chirped at the images and flapped his wings, he thought it was funny they did that and the reaction of the bots were priceless, he nuzzled her again before he went to the med bay leaving Sonam alone in her room. She thought a little bit what had happened today and shrugged maybe after she spoke with all the Primes she might know what to do next, she went into the bathroom to freshen up and try to get the dirt and dried blood out of her hair she had completely forgot about that.

In the Med Bay

Knockout had dragged Breakdown and Dreadwing in the med bay and shut the door, he didn't want any unwanted visitors eavesdropping on their conversation. Breakdown looked at his lover and then at Dreadwing who just looked annoyed for being dragged like that through the Nemesis, they waited for Knockout who went to grab three cubes of energon and sat down on one of the berths "Alright you two listen up, we've got to do something to convince Megatron to court Son" he said bluntly to which Dreadwing spat out his energon a little, while Breakdown just looked at him with an are-you-serious-look. Knockout just smirked "Owh come on don't tell me you haven't seen Megatron's behavior the past few mega-cycles out there against the Autobots and during Son's rescue operation? And what about his little struggle to get someone else to punish besides her hhmmm?" The other pondered the questions for a moment, they did notice Megatron's behavior to be a lot different towards her when handing out punishments, personally they knew he would take extreme measures to make sure no one would dare challenge him again. "See I was right, now the question is how do we get Megatron to court Son?" Breakdown was the first to speak "Knockout I know you explained Megatron's feelings to him the other day , but what if Son doesn't like him back that way?" Knockout thought for a moment "You I haven't thought about that" he chuckled embarrassed, Dreadwing just shook his head "As much as you would like to see her and Lord Megatron together, it would be best if we just allow things to happen in its own time". Knockout just huffed " Your no fun Dreads, besides wouldn't like to see our dear Lord Megatron happy? You are the loyalist of all in this darn ship" he smirked at him, Dreadwing just narrowed his eyes at Knockout and was about to retort back, when they suddenly heard the doors open, all three wiped their heads around and saw Soundwave enter with Lazerbeak in his hands. Knockout was trying to calm his spark again "Seriously Soundwave, one of these days I'll attach a bell to you and spare the spark attacks and I thought I locked the doors?" Soundwave replied "Affirmative, doors were indeed locked. However I unlocked them again" Knockout just rolled his eyes he should have known Soundwave would do such a thing "Anyways we were discussing how to get Megatron to court a certain human femme here on base, by the way how is she doing?"

Soundwave looked at Lazerbeak giving the indication of his damaged wing, Knockout understood and grabbed some of tools, Soundwave went over to Dreadwing and Breakdown and answered Knockouts question by playing the record Lazerbeak had of Son after he dropped him off.

With Megatron

Megatron just left the bridge, at the moment all he could think about was Son and how close they were to losing her again. but what truly bothered him was his feelings for her, has he really fallen in love with her? All because she still helped him after he told her about him and he didn't even bother to lie, he's told plenty of lies before when it came to his own benefit and to the Decepticon's cause. He let out a huge sight "Perhaps I'm going insane" he told to no one in particular and headed down to Son's chambers to see if she was doing alright.

When he entered the room he spotted Son sitting at the table with a stack of data pads and was writing something on another. Megatron saw she seemed to be really focused on something and went over to look what she was reading. However this caused Son to be overshadowed and she turned around with a startle. When she saw Megatron she held her chest a little and sighted "Whoa Megs, you really shouldn't sneak up on me like that, before you know it I might lie unconscious on the floor right now" she laughed a little and rubbed the back of her head a little. She smiled up at him and looked concern when she saw his worried look "H-hey I was only kidding about the last part you know, no need to worry" "Why aren't you angry at me?" Son looked at him with a confused expression "What do you mean, why should I be mad at you?"

"I gave you a punishment and still you smile at me and talk to me as if our friendship hasn't been damaged at all" he pointed out. Son just looked at him with a blank expression and then burst in laughter; Megatron just looked at her in surprise. Son calmed herself down and smiled at him again "Megs its ok, besides I'm the one who allowed myself to be seen by the Autobots and got myself stuck in that cave, you're the leader you should teach your troops the error of their ways. You made the right call on punishing me and besides you only grounded me nothing more" Megatron was though for a moment and smiled back at her, he looked over at the data pads and asked her "What were you reading there?" Son looked at the table and answered "I was continuing my studies, since I'm confined to the room for two days might as well study ahead before I can start my training with Dreadwing" Megatron nodded pleased that she wasn't angry at him, his spark began to flutter a little and he put a hand on his chest-plates Son noticed and began to look worried "Are you alright should I call Knockout?" she asked him.

Megatron just smiled again and rubbed her back "No, I'm alright. Let's take a look at how far you've made it with your studies" Son smiled at him and showed him where she left off.

Later during recharge

Son just arrived at the Primes sanctuary and was looking for them, she heard a chuckle and saw it was none other than Vector Prime. "Vector Prime, you've made it" she went over to him and hugged his legs, he bent down to let her on his hand brought her up to eye level. She saw the other Primes and greeted them "This is amazing, you're all complete again how's it feel?" she asked them, the femme Prime who Son guessed was Solus smiled at her and answered "It feels as if a missing part has finally returned to us young one" Megatronous came up and nudged Vector a little "Well at least some of us didn't have to worry about aging all those years" and laughed when Vector glared at him, Son giggled a little "You know if I didn't know any better you guys are like a typical everyday family on Earth, you clearly scoubling like siblings should."The Primes all smiled at her remark and they had to agree, for when they watched the inhabitants on Earth they realized that humanity is much as their own kind, only they are a much younger race and have much more to experience in life, Son began to speak again "Now that we are all here, what should we do next? I mean we can't just wait for the enemy to het to Cybertron and we need more reinforcement than just the ones on Earth" she told them, Vector Prime answered "You are right, however if we act now we might endanger you, for it is you alone who must reunite with the spark of our creator and awaken him once again to fend off this new evil." He told her and everyone began to nod their heads, Maximus Prime continued "However you are right we must find more allies than just Cybertronians, there are many other planets out there with our kind who scattered amongst the stars to live and learn, on these planets some had begun to evolve like the Minicons, they come from the planet where there are also Giant Transformers" Son widen her eyes this just got interesting "On Earth you may not know it are Transformers who have lived for thousands of years underwater and have evolved with transforming fins, the humans call them mermaids and merman, the underwater city they dwell upon is named Atlantis, where I am residing with the Minicons as we speak" Vector Prime continued. Son's eyes just widened "Atlantis is real? And there are mermaids and merman? This is unbelievable,….but why are they underwater did something happen?" some of the Primes looked sad and Megatronous began to speak "Yes, little one for my namesake ordered his top scientist Shockwave to re-create the instinct creatures known as Predacons, when the project was a success he sent those creatures out on Autobots who were already stationed on Earth to destroy them all and to guard any Energon mines located on the planet" Son was saddened at the thought of allowing such an act to be committed "That is a terrible ordeal, but thank goodness some managed to survive in the oceans, to think that Earth's inhabitants started out of there for them to remain hidden" she then looked at the Primes "Besides Earth and Cybertron and the planet with the giant transformers and Minicons, are there any other planets inhabited by Cybertronians?" Vector Prime looked at her and nodded "Yes there are I have made contact with some of them, during my travels in the time-space-continuum" Son nodded and stood up "Then we know what we must do, as soon as the times come we must convince every Cybertronian to join us in our battle against this new threat, Cybertron is much their home as it is ours and we cannot let anyone destroy that, besides who's to say they will stop at Cybertron all the planets might be in danger if they manage to conquer it"

The Primes all looked at each other and nodded their heads at her speech, Son continued "And that's not all we need to convince the Autobots, Decepticons and Neutrals to stop this war and rebuilt Cybertron or there won't be anything left to fight for enough is enough!" she said and stomped her foot down hard, she suddenly realized what she did and immediately began to rub that part "I'm so sorry Vector Prime, are you alright it didn't hurt did it" the other Primes began to chuckle and laugh confusing her a bit, Solus than spoke "It amazes us how you can change your attitude from diplomatic to caring so quickly" Son blushed a little and explained "I tend to be that way yes it is just in my nature. Now what should we do next?"

The one with the fatherly voice, who Son guessed was Alpha Trion began to speak "On Earth there is a pond, such as this one hidden somewhere named the pond of Eternal Life, you must bath yourself in it and retrieve your Cybertronian form, along your abilities will be awaken as well" Solus stepped forward and her hand began to glow and put them on her head a sudden glow began to engulf Sonam and she felt a little dizzy "I have given you my abilities to use the Forge, my weapon against Unicron. Optimus Prime and Vector Prime may be able to use it for a limited time, but my blessing will give you unlimited usage, use this blessing well" Son nodded and bowed her head while holding an arm at her heart "I promise I will never use your Forge for my own gain or anyone else's"

They all smiled knowing that she will be succeeding in her mission, and Son had new hope for her new family. Vector Prime spoke once again "This new abilities of yours will be unknown to even us, it is up to you to unlock them" Son understood and knew she had a lot of training to do before she would be ready to enter the pond of Eternal Life.

Done finally! Still gonna be a little slow on updates for both stories, due to situations concerning school and certain people I rather not name at all! But I'll try to update as soon as possible.
