Judging by the no comments on my 4th chapter, I scared you all. But don't worry, as far as I'm going with this, that is probably my only chapter with gore. Not everyone has such a happy beginning. But I hope this chapter makes up for the 4th one.

Eva drives up to Jack's house and sees Bulkhead in drive. She was about to ask why he was here when she spotted Miko.

"Dude, here me out. You're no fry cook, you're a rock star. Stop trying to be normal Jack. You'll never fit in."

"He's no fry cook, he ain't no rock star, he's not normal." The kids look at Eva. "But one thing's for sure, that isn't the way to convince Jack into anything."

"Thank you Eva." Jack turns back to his back.

Miko walks past Eva. "Please try to talk to him."

"I'll try, but he's more hardheaded than he looks." Eva watches as Bulkhead drives off with Miko inside. "How was the talk?"

"Turns out she's from actual Japan from a fancy family."

Eva gives the 'seriously?' look. "Wow, you learn something new everyday."

"Are you really here to try to talk me into the Autobots?"

"Nope, that's a you problem that you have to solve, and I won't help unless you ask." Eva walks up to him and leans against the table. "I'm here to talk about secrets."

Jack stops what he's doing and turns to her. "Eva, I told you I forgive you for what happened."

"Not that, but thank you anyway, you told me that you talked to Arcee about it. What exactly did you tell?"

"Does it matter?" Jack sees the worry in her hair. "we talked about why I'm mad at him and how he lied to us. She said that it wasn't your fault and that you were just concerned for the family."

"Did you tell her his name?" Jack gives her a questionable look. "Jack, I'm serious. Did you tell her his name?" He shook his head. "Good."

"Eva, what aren't you telling me?"

Eva takes a deep breath. "These past few days have been shocking to me. I found out more about myself when I was hanging out with Optimus and Ratchet both in and out of the battle field. Turns out… father knew the Autobots before we did."

Jack's eyes widen and almost fell but Eva helped keep him balanced. "How does he know?"

"Remember when I told that mom wasn't my birth mom?" Jack nods. "I found out who she is. Jack… my birth mom is an Autobot."

"She's not Arcee, is she?"

"Heck no." Eva laughs at this. "That would be even more awkward." She shakes her head. "Her name was Flameshot, but she took the name Adeline."

"Are you saying that you are half alien robot? How is this possible?"

"They said that I surrounded a power inside her and now I contain it." Eva uses a small power to close the garage door and fix the rest of Jack's bike. "I now inherit her powers. All my life, I've always been weird with color changing hair, then I find out I have powers of unimaginable." She takes out the black box. "I promised Johnny I would learn to control my power, which is why I'm staying with the Autobots. I don't expect you to join with me or not, but I just wanted to let you know."

Jack smiles and hugs her. "Thanks for trusting me sis."

Eva's hair turns light blue and then she hugs back. "I'm so happy you understand."

Jack pulls back and shows her hair. "Yeah, I can tell." Eva chuckles.

Eva always takes the day off on Sunday so she got ready early because of Optimus. She packs the usual stuff but she packed something extra just in case she needed it. She decided to not bring her bike today and ride in Optimus.

"So did you guys find out what that equation means?"

"They were engineering specs for a space-time vortex generator."

Eva widens her eyes. "As in a space bridge generator?"

"Yes, Megatron is going to bring in through his undead conquering army."

Eva's hair turns light green as she shivers. "Just what I need, more zombies to bash."

"We don't know if we can stop this from happening but if we fail… we will need you to fight along side us. With the heart of Cybertron, we can attack the army on earth, but only you can decide if you will do it or not."

Eva takes a deep breath then lets it out slowly making her hair go to normal. "I will do what it takes to protect my planet, to protect my friends, to protect… my family. If the time does come, I will join you in the war."

They enter the base then Eva sits on his shoulder. Later on, the children except Jack arrive with their guardians.

Ratchet a news mixed good and bad. "Optimus, I've pinpointed the location of Megatron's Space bridge, high in Earth's orbit."

"Out of our reach."

Miko walks up to them. "ok, so you guys don't fly but can't you just ground-bridge there?"

Ratchet shook his head. "The ground bridge has limited range. Stretch all the way into orbit its vortex could snap. And scatter us to the stars."

"Since Megatron is likely already in transit, I'm afraid we must take that risk." Eva gives a concern look to Optimus. "Reaching the space bridge first is our only means to stopping him."

That was when Jack and Arcee enter the base. "Hey, guess who's back." Eva asks Optimus to put her down then she runs to him and hugs him.

"Autobots, prepare to departure."

They let go of the hug and look up at Arcee. "Where to?"

"The final frontier." Miko walks up to Eva and Jack.

Jack was surprised. "Space? I thought they didn't have anyway to get there."

"They don't, but using the space bridge is the only option they have." Eva walks up to Optimus. "Well big rig, I might be an awesome warrior, but this awesome warrior needs oxygen. So you are gonna need to kick butt twice as much without me." Eva smiles but her hair turns dark purple.

Optimus noticed and rubs her head with his finger. "I will return Eva. I promise." Eva smiles and nods.

Everyone said their goodbyes except Ratchet. "Optimus, if you leave me stranded on a planet teaming with humans, I will never forgive you."

Eva rolls her eyes. "That was best goodbye I have ever heard."

"Until we meet again." Optimus retracts his mask. "Autobots, roll out." The four warriors disappear into the ground bridge. Everyone turns to the screens. "Maximum over drive." They see the results that they made it through to the space bridge. Eva was relieved that her guardian made it okay. "Autobots, transform… and gravitize."

Eva tries to keep calm so she walks over to her Uncle Will. "I hope when you wake up, you will understand what is going on and allow me and Jack to stay with the Autobots. You already kept a big secret of giant alien robots, hopefully this secret won't be so hard."

All of sudden, Fowler puts his hand on her. "Grandma, did you bring the vanilla cookies? I asked for the strawberry ones." Then he passes out again.

"The Decepticons really did a number on you, didn't they?" She looks up to hear the rest of the conversation.

"If Megatron went to the travel of rendezvousing with his space bridge, he must have an alternate targeting system… A remote one."

Ratchet scoffs at this. "From what I know of Earth's technology, I doubt there exists a single radio- telescope dish on this planet powerful enough to pinpoint Cybertron."

"What about a whole bunch of linked radio-telescope dishes?" Raf clicks on a picture of a giant dishes stuck together. "Like the giant sized array in Texas?"

"Zip buh buh buh buh buh! This is not child's play!" Ratchet puts his hands on his hips. Eva rolls her eyes.

"Good thinking Raf. Ratchet, hove Agent Fowler alert the array staff to the security hazard."

Everyone gets startled when Fowler wakes up again. "You, soldier! You're out of uniform! Put on some pants!" He then passes out again.

"That is really gonna be a challenge." Eva shakes her head. She walks down the stairs to get to the kids.

"You actually think you could keep the Decepticons out?"

"Maybe, If I could get in."

"Wow, the kid can hack? You learn something new everyday." Eva walks up to Raf. "You know, if you can get inside the building, you can use their network on the other side of fire wall." Raf looks up in surprise. "I may be a mechanic but I'm also an inventor."

"The risk is too great, the Decepticons would be there. Perhaps even on sight."

Jack puts his hand on my shoulder then looks at the screen. "Optimus, with all due respect you said it yourself, this is bigger than the safety of four humans."

Miko stepped in too. "Yeah, if we let cons win, we're fragged, along with everyone else on our planet."

"Raf?"

Raf thinks for a sec then nods. "I want to give it a shot."

A few minutes later, Eva and the children jump through the ground-bridge and landed in Texas. They were still a little woozy going through the bridge

"That'll take some getting use to."

"Tell me about it." Once they were ready to move out, Eva went first. She get out a few throwing stars and hit some of the security cameras for safety. She zooms to the door checking it, of course it's locked. She gets out paper clip and picks the lock. She open the door quietly and peeks in. "Okay, close is clear, let's go." The three kids just stood there with the mouth open. "What? This isn't my first break in."

"You never broke into anything before." Jack walks in with the others.

"Correction, I never got caught before." Eva smirks as she closes the door. She throws more stars at cameras as they sneak around. Eva makes a hold signal when she hears a guard coming up the hall. "Stay hear." She turns the corner and walks up to the guard.

"Halt, who goes there?"

"I'm the new secretary around here. Nice to meet you." She holds out her hand then he comes to shake it. Then she pulls him in and presses a point in his arm knocking him out easily. She turns around and sees the kids once again in awe. "Elbow nerve point attack. Works every time." She comes to a room that has nothing but a computer. "Bingo. In here." The kids go in the room while Eva pulls the guard in and puts him in a closet.

Jack crosses his arms. "Really? Guard in the closet?"

"What? It's funny."

Raf starts to go in the computer. "I'm in… and so are the Decepticons."

Eva leans back on the wall. "How you be so sure?"

"Schematics. With the same alien math we saw on their ship But this time, I can download it." Raf gets out his jump drive and starts downloading the schematics.

"It's gotta be the space bridge." Miko buts in.

"The Decepticons are syncing it to the dishes – but I can sync in them."

Jack gets a little nervous. "Will they know?"

"Even if the Decepticons see that I'm in the system, they have no idea I'm in the house."

Eva then fell cold and unsteady and sits down on the floor. She closes her eyes and sees a giant robot tentacle attacking her and the kids.

"Eva." She opens her eyes to see Jack looking at her. "You okay?"

Eva gets close to his ear. "Jack I had a vision, there's something else in this building." She gets up and walks to the door. "I'm gonna scout the area, you two keep an eye on Raf as he works."

"You got it Eva." Miko pretends to solute.

"Be careful sis."

"I always am." Eva walks out the door and began to walk around. She noticed other than that one guard, there were no others. She then sees one door still open with the lights still on. She takes a peek and her hair turns white. A very larger, creepy Decepticon was over looking a hard drive and around him were unconscious soldiers, hopefully unconscious. Eva walks in carefully not to alarm him. She sees in a screen that the coordinates of Cybertron were getting linked. 'Come on Raf, hurry.' Then the coordinates were deleted and the dishes fell. 'Yes.' That was when the tentacle she saw in her vision began to past by her. She puts down her backpack and slowly gets out her secret weapon. 'okay, wait for your point.' She then sees the weak point. Her hair changes into a navy green as she gets out a 12in tanto blade and stabs the tentacle.

"I got you, Decepticon!" Eva held on for her life as the tentacle began to squirm. She noticed that she was getting closer to the door. "Oh no you don't. You will not harm those children." She tries to pull it away from the door. But then another tentacle comes over to her. She couldn't let the one she got a hold of get away or the kids will be Decepticon chow. Eva tries to activate the power inside her. "Come on." No matter how hard she concentrate, she couldn't activate them. The other tentacle pushes her off and grabs her tanto. "Oh man, that's not good."

The tentacle swings over to the hard wire and slices it in half. That was when the three children came into the room. They look up to see the con leaving. Miko takes a picture of while the con takes a picture of them. Then it takes a picture of Eva still lying on the ground staring at him. After the paparazzi photos, the con flew off into the sky.

Miko helps Eva to her feet. "Why is he leaving?"

Raf walks over to where the hard wire been cut. "He cut the hard wire. The dishes are locked on Cybertron… for good."

Eva walks over to where her tanto is and puts it back in its sheath. "I'm sorry I couldn't by some time for you three."

"You did what you could Eva." Raf pulls out his jump drive. "Besides, it wasn't a total lost."

Eva smiles as she opens her phone and calls Ratchet.

The humans made it back to the base just as the scanners on the screen began to go haywire.

"Optimus, I'm registering a rapidly expanding mass in their space bridge vortex, one with a peculiar energy signature."

Eva then noticed Fowler was up. "Hi Uncle Will, did you have a nice nap?"

"Eva? Oh man, I thought that teen looked familiar."

"Ratchet, we must destroy the space bridge. There's enough live energon coursing through it to achieve detonation, but we lack the fire power to ignite it."

"If I knew how the space bridge was engineered, I might find a technical way of accomplishing that feat."

Raf gets out his jump drive. "Um, would schematics help?"

Ratchet was now concern. "Optimus, I must say the space bridge is our sole hope of ever returning to Cybertron. Are you certain its destruction is the only option?"

"I am afraid so."

"Then by all means, let us light our darkest hour."

"Autobots, take your positions and follow Ratchet's lead… while I make my stand."

Eva was now on her toes. Sure she met Megatron, but she hasn't seen him fight. And if his skills are as big as his craziness, this could get ugly. All she could do was pray that he makes it through the battle.

Fowler began to notice the screen. "These things are getting closer, that's bad right?"

Eva didn't focus on them though. Since the comlink wasn't open on Optimus, she was even more worried making her turn dark purple. Her heart began to beat loudly in her chest as if it wants to be heard.

Mean while in space, Optimus was lying in the round as Megatron was about to attack. Then was interrupted by a comlink. "Starscream, what is it!"

Optimus then hears the heartbeat of Eva calling him. "Optimus, get up! I can't lose you. Please get up!" Optimus pushes himself up a little.

"Ah, misdirection, Optimus. You would have made a fine Decepticon."

Optimus blocks the attack. "I chose my side." He then get out his blaster and shoots him.

Eva relaxes knowing that Optimus is okay. But changes when her head began to feel cold and fell on her knees.

Jack and Fowler saw this and helped her up. "Sis, what's wrong?"

She closes her eyes and sees Megatron in his plane mode shooting at the bots. He then makes a direct hit on Arcee. She widens her eyes and runs to where the others are.

"Now follow the line from the flow regulator to the energon pump. There should be a valve."

"I see it."

"Good. To turn all that power against itself, all you need do is reverse the current."

"Current reversed."

"Yes!" Every except Eva turns to Fowler. "right?"

"I'll ready the ground bridge."

By now, Megatron is there shooting at the bots. Eva couldn't hold it in. "ARCEE BEAR RIGHT!"

"Whoa!" Eva waits for a response. "That was a close one, Thanks Eva." She lets out a relief then she notices the looks everyone was looking at her.

Ratchet walks over to the com. "Optimus, the ground bridge is up and ready."

"Autobots, jump!"

Everyone looks at the activated bridge. Eva's hair turned into a light purple. "Are they…"

Ratchet looks at his scanners. "Four signals, all of them healthy."

They all hear steps in the ground bridge. Eva's hair turned into a light blue as she runs to her guardian. "Optimus!"

He retracts his mask revealing his smile as he lowers his hand for her to climb on. She climbs on his hand and he bring her to his shoulder. "I told you I would come back."

Eva puts her head on his head.

Ratchet walks up to Optimus. "And Megatron?"

"Not even he can survive ground zero."

"Prime." They look at Fowler entering the elevator. "I never got to thank you bots for the save. I owe you one. And Eva, you have nothing to worry about your father. I won't tell." The elevator door closes.

Miko looks up to Optimus. "So is the part where you say goodbye and tell us we need to forget we ever saw you?"

Optimus turns to Eva who looks away with her hair turning dark purple. He smiles and then turns to the other. "I think I speak for all of us when I say 'welcome to team Prime'."

The children cheer and ran to their guardians. Eva smiles and her hair turns light blue.

"By the way. Eva…" Eva turns to Arcee. "How did you know that Megatron was going to strike me?"

Eva's hair turned white. She had forgotten that small moment. Before she could reply, Jack butted in. "Kung Fu instincts. She always had them. One time, I almost got into a wreck on my bike when I got a call from her to tell me to stop. I have an awesome sister."

"Aw that's so sweet Jackie chan. Oops." She covered her mouth.

Arcee gave Jack a look. "Jackie Chan?"

"Eva has called me that since I was born."

Eva giggles as her hair turns sky blue again. "I was five years old so when I heard my brother was named Jack, I immediately thought Jackie Chan." Everyone laughed while Optimus just smiled and looked at Eva.

Eva leans on the rail writing in her journal as she lightly glances at the others setting up the hang out for the humans.

Dear diary,

All my life, I've been the freak show of Jasper, Nevada. Both outside and in. My life has its both ups and downs, forwards and backwards. During those time, I've kept my distance from everyone, including my own family. But that is about to change.

She looks up as Bulkhead puts the orange couch at the perfect spot.

Thanks to the Autobots, and certain events, I now have the courage to be myself around others. I also now have Ratchet and Optimus to help me learn more about my powers and what might happen next.

Eva puts down her diary and walks up to Optimus.

My name is Evangeline Darby, and I will do whatever it takes to protect my home, my friends and my family. I will follow my gut, I won't let fate stand in my way.

Optimus puts her on his shoulder as he smiles. Eva puts hand over her heart.

I will let my heart guide me

I know, cheesy ending for a chapter but I couldn't help myself. I hope you all like this chapter. Please tell me what you all think of it.
