Warning to those who are going to read this chapter. Your minds will probably blow up into a million pieces and some of you might not want to continue the story after this chapter. I've thought very clear of what I want and this is it. Enjoy!

After Taylor went back to Florida, Eva was thinking about what she had said. The day after killing Skyquake, she realized that she had killed not a clone soldier or a zombie, but a living cybertronian. She plays what she had did over and over again, which was why after the scraplet problem, she decided to block herself in the lab to try to get her flame powers in control.

Optimus walks in to see Eva working to the bone. "Eva, it's been 2 days, and you can't stay in here for the rest of your life."

"I'm fine Optimus, I just need to figure out how to control it." Eva summons a fireball. "One wrong move and I could…" her hair turns dark purple as the fireball fades.

"I know what's wrong Eva, you can't run from what you did to Skyquake."

"I already learned that Optimus, it's what I learned from it is the problem. Every fire shot I did was different from the other due to my tai chi moves. I need to find out which one cause the less damage and which one might cause someone's death. I only killed Skyquake because he was chasing me and I wanted him to stop. Because of my carelessness, I took a life away and I won't let that happen again."

"And I know you will." Optimus lowers his hand to her. "But I think now is a good time for a break." Eva sighs in defeat and sits on his hand, he puts her on his shoulder then walks to the control room.

Ratchet looks up from the screen and smile. "You finally got her out of the lab. What did you do in there all day, paint your nails?"

"I might be a girl, but my nails are like tools than accessories." Ratchet chuckles a bit before returning to his screen. Eva hears bulkhead walking this way with Miko on his shoulder. "Oh no, quick hide me." She jumps to the couch and hides next to it.

Arcee is now curious. "What's with her?"

"According to her words, ever since she play that rocking guitar solo, Miko won't shut up about asking her to play again. One of the reasons why she was hiding in the lab in the first place." Ratchet pays attention to the screen. "Optimus, I am receiving a signal on a restricted band. It seems to be coming from a starship inside this solar system." He focuses more on the signal and shocking news popped up. "It's an Autobot identification beacon."

Jack and Rafael became curious about this. "So there are other Autobots out there?"

"The masses scattered to the galaxies when finally went dark, but 'cons have been known to bait traps with false beacons." Arcee was definitely on edge.

Eva starts to worry and walks to the rails as Optimus spoke up. "Unknown vessel, this is Autobot outpost Omega One. Identify yourself."

There's some static before a voice breaks through. "I've had warmer welcomes from Decepticon Combat Brigades."

Bulk instantly knows that voice and gets excited. "Wheeljack?! You old 'con crusher, what are you doing all the way out here?"

"Bulkhead? That you? What's with all the security?"

"The rock we're on is crawling with 'cons. How soon can you get here to even the odds?"

"Sometime tomorrow, if I put medal to the pedal."

Eva starts to shake her head. 'If this Wheeljack is anything like Bulkhead, this is gonna be one heck of a week.' "Are you that is this Wheeljack?"

"Believe me Eva, he is 1000% the real deal."

That was the only thing Optimus needed to here. "We will send landing coordinates. Safe journey."

"See you soon Jacky, I'll make sure you get a proper welcome."

Eva chuckles as she swings her legs over the rails. "So, who is Wheeljack?"

"Me and Jackie go way back. We were apart of the same unit, the wreckers. Which means the cons are gonna wish he haven't found us."

"Well, until he comes here, I will be busy." Eva whistles and her hoover board gets out of her backpack.

"Hey Eva!" Eva knew that was Miko and gets something out of her pocket then throws it to the ground making bright lights and smoke. Everyone covered their eyes from the light then saw that Eva wasn't there anymore. "Aw come on!"

Jack chuckles as he sits down on the couch. "That's Eva, she did the same thing to me when I was younger. We still have the burnt stains on the floor at the house."

A full day has passed by and Wheeljack has entered in the atmosphere. Eva was on Optimus's shoulder listening to her music pretending not to see Miko calling her. Miko eventually gives up and looks to the screen. Eva chuckles as she glances at Miko.

"You know Eva, she's going to find out that you're not actually listening to music."

Eva looks up to Optimus's face. "Better to let her think than barking in my ear." She tenses as she hears the ground-bridge hiccup.

"Blasted Scraplets! The equipment hasn't been the same since the infestation."

Eva puts away her mp3 and sits up. "So why is Wheeljack parking like halfway across the world?"

"We can't risk revealing the location of our base, just in case the Decepticons are tracking Wheeljack's ship."

"Oh ok." Eva looks at Bulkhead as he paces around. "Someone is excited to see their pal."

"Oh you guys are gonna love Wheeljack, we were like brothers. And tonight, we're gonna party!"

Miko jumps for joy while Eva rolls her eyes. 'two wreckers plus one metal fan in the same room having a party, great.'

All of a sudden alarms began to go off and Decepticons were following Wheeljack's ship. "Bogies closing in of Wheeljack's position."

"Con scum!" Bulkhead was now mad. "Open the bridge, Ratchet. We're missing all the action."

Ratchet finally got the bridge operational. "I'll prepare sick bay."

Bulkhead chuckles. "Who for, the cons? This is Wheeljack we're talking about." Bulkhead, along with Arcee and Bumblebee ran through the bridge.

"I hope they make it on time." Eva clings on to Optimus with dark purple hair. The bridge opens again only four more bots enter and just in time before the bridge shorts out again. Her hair turns orange as she takes a look at this new bot, he looks weird for an Autobot.

Wheeljack looks up at Optimus when he hears his footsteps. "Optimus prime, it's a privilege. Does that human have orange hair?" Eva see that and takes a deep breath then lets it out making her hair turn black.

"Don't worry, her hair is always like that. What have you to report from your long journey?"

"Been bouncing from rock to rock. Searching for signs of friend or foe. Now I find both."

"We are few, but strong. We have suffered losses… but we have grown." Eva smiles and puts her hand on his head. "And we would relish a new member into our fold."

"I would be honored."

"Then let's get this party started!" Bulkhead slapped Wheeljack on the back then they did a chest bump.

Eva rolls her eyes and slaps her head. 'Please let this end already please.'

Optimus sees her misery and walks away. "You wanna go train somewhere not here."

"Please, knowing Miko, she's gonna play loud metal music until I beg to play the guitar." Optimus chuckles and helps her down.

Out of the corner of Wheeljack's eye, he can see the big connection between them and shows a questionable face.

Half an hour later, Eva had her weapons in her bag ready for her 'off-campus' training. Ratchet starts the bridge along with another shock. "Now once you leave, I'm going to put the bridge in shut-down mode. It will take a few hours or longer, are you sure you want to go?"

"Don't worry, Ratchet. I was hoping that I would go in a mission this week, so I brought energy bars and water. It's all in the bag." Eva signals Optimus to transform and she hops in. "I'm a biker, I learn to live on the road, so the wilderness shouldn't be a problem. Oh may I?"

Optimus chuckles. "Sure you can."

Eva makes her V pose. "Yes. Let's roll out." Optimus drives in the bridge and when they made it out, they were in a familiar site. Eva jumps off with a sad look and blue hair. "I still can't believe what I did here."

They look around at the canyons and see all the burns left from Eva's fire. Optimus kneels down and pats her head. "You will get control of your powers Eva, your mother did once so it's possible you can to."

Eva puts her hand on his finger. "Let's get started."

(cue the training music montage)

Optimus break a cliff into huge boulders so that Eva could practice her fire power.

Eva activates her powers with neon green flaming hair. Eva focuses on one to blast it with a chi move. The blast made the boulder blow up into pieces. Eva frowns, that's not a move that she should use in battle.

Optimus checks out on a pad showing yes and no marking in cybertronian and clicked no.

Eva tried again with another moves and this time the boulder was sliced in half. She smiles but then the rock melts into liquid. "Aw man."

Optimus checks no again.

Eva keeps trying but she gets bored makes a gun out of her hand and points at the rock, much to her surprise, it actually worked. A single gunshot or flameshot in the middle.

Optimus smiles and checks yes on the board.

After testing a few more shots, Eva decides to test flying out. Her first take off shook the earth leaving dust everywhere. She swerves through the canyon, hitting a few walls then lands on the ground.

Optimus lifts the board showing 3 out of 10 and Eva frowns at this.

She takes off again with a running start to make a less messy take off. Her hair grows so that way she can hug the turns then she lands but trips on her landing.

Optimus lifts the board showing 7 out of 10 with a thumbs up, but Eva shakes her head while pinching her nose.

She takes off again like last time then hugs the turns with her hair flowing again. She accidentally takes a wrong turn and sees a dead end ahead. Her eyes got fired up and she punches her way through to make it to the finish. Eva gets excited and look around to find Optimus frowning and 3/4 under rocks.

Optimus lifts the board showing 9 out of 10. Eva scratches her head with pink flowing hair.

(montage over)

Eva and Optimus were sitting on the edge watching the sunset.

"… and that is why I hate snow and you will never, ever, ever, tell a living soul about it."

Optimus chuckles. "Cross my spark." They look out at the sunset. "One of the things that I love about this planet is the beautiful sunset. I remember sitting in the field of Enerchid flowers back on Cybertron watching a sunset like this."

Eva looks up at him. "Enerchid flowers?"

"They were these beautiful plants that grew on my planet. Some bots thought they were like the earth term 'weeds' sucking out energon from the planet." He sighs as he leans back. "After the planet begins to diminish, we had no choice but to destroy the fields in order to survive. The remaining flower was given to your mother when she was with her sire."

"Hey!" He looks at her. "You just gave a clue."

"Oh, sorry."

Eva chuckles. "So what's a sire?"

"Well there are two different creators, a sire and a carrier."

"So like a father and mother."

"Exactly, and I'm the carrier."

Eva looks at him with orange hair. "Wow, Optimus Prime was the mother of my mom. Now I heard everything."

"Actually, when I had your mother, I wasn't Optimus Prime." If Eva's hair wasn't already orange, it would be now. "Back in the golden ages, I was a simple bot named Orion Pax. Believe it or not I was a very sensitive bot back then. I had the ordinary life, lived in an ordinary appartment and had an ordinary job as a clerk in the archives. Best friends were Ratchet and Ultra Magnus, I also had a girlfriend, who is not the sire by the way, Ariel. She was a good friend."

"Really, what happened to her?"

"After I met the sire of your mother, my one true love, I spit up with her and I didn't see her until later on during the war, but with a different name, Elita-1. She tries to get back with me but I preferred spending my spare time with your mother and some how… I didn't see it until it was too late. I sent your mother and Elita on an off world mission to scout a planet to see if it would make a good off world base. When they reported back… your mother didn't return. She was kidnapped by the Decepticons and later on I found out it was Elita's fault. She made a deal with Megatron to get closer to me."

Eva hair was white as she was listening. "How… did she escape?"

Optimus looked at her with a sad look. "She didn't, she ended up joining the Decepticons for 5 earth years, but I thought she was dead. I found out she was alive during the Cybertron holiday, Allspark day, the day your mother received the heart of Cybertron from Primus himself. About 50 years later, she rejoined the Autobots, but refused to look me in the eye. We may have got Flameshot back, but I lost my daughter."

Eva scoots closer to him and pats him on his hand. "You don't have to worry about losing me." Optimus smiles and lifts her from the ground to hug her. Before she knew, she begins to feel a head ache again.

"Except for one thing." Bulkhead holds a stern look. "I wasn't there." Everyone holds a shock face. "I had already left the wreckers to join up with Optimus, but you wouldn't know that if all you had to do was access Wheeljack's public service record."

"Bulkhead, what does that have to deal with…" before she could say anything else, Miko was scooped up back 'Wheeljack' and he hold her hostage.

"Stay back, or I'll squeeze her into pulp."

Eva snaps out of it. "Oh no."

Optimus puts her down. "Eva, what is it?"

"It's Wheeljack, or should I say it's not Wheeljack. That imposter is going to grab Miko and hold her hostage." Optimus was about to call. "No, no, no. any wrong move, and we might put all three kids in danger. I call Jack."

Jack was leaning against a wall looking at Bulkhead explaining what's happening. His phone began to ring and he sees Eva on it. "Hey sis, how's it going?" "Jack, where is Miko?" "She's giving Wheeljack a tour of the base, why? "Jack, that bot is not Wheeljack, he's going to snatch Miko and hold her hostage." Jack widens his eyes. "Kung Fu instincts?" "Yep." "What do I do?" "Relax, I have an idea. Remember the playground at the park where I taught you how to zip- line?" "Yeah, but what does that have to deal with…" "I need you to use the dog call I taught you and you'll know what to do next. Just save Miko."

'Wheeljack' and Miko walk into the room. "Hey, what are you guys talking about?"

Jack hangs up and takes a deep breath while walking towards Miko.

"I was just telling the gang about you and me at the battle of Darkmount Pass."

"That's quite a story."

"Yep, tell it." Bulkhead holds a stern face.

"Talk, talk, talk. How about after we go off-roading?"

Jack holds her back. "Miko, I don't think you should intervene."

'Wheeljack' shows a concern face for Bulkhead. "I don't think…"

"Tell it!"

"Fine. You want to live in the past Bulkhead? The Wreckers were trapped between a Decepticon patrol and the smelting pit. The 'cons were vicious, bearing down on us with everything they had. Me and Bulkhead engaged the enemy, left them for scrap, then I made us a way out using their backside as stepping-stones to cross the molten metal. Isn't that how it happened?"

"Yep that's exactly how it happened. Except for one little thing, I wasn't there." Everyone show a shock look on their faces. "I had already left the wrecker to join up with Optimus, but you wouldn't know that if all you had to do was access Wheeljack's public service record."

"Bulkhead, what does that…" Jack pushes Miko out of the way and the imposter grabs Jack instead of Miko. "Jack!"

The imposter shows his real voice. "Stay back, or I'll squeeze him into pulp."

"Let me go, you wannabe!" Jack's arms were stuck in his clutches.

"Decepticon coward! Let the boy go and face me."

"Don't fret, plenty of fighting to come." The imposter activates the ground bridge and pinpoints a location. "Let's get this party started."

Jack gets his hand free and makes the whistle. Everyone hears a familiar sound and then a familiar Scraplet flies around. "Randy!" the Scraplet flies around the imposter making the imposter let go of Jack and Jack grabs Randy like he's on the zip-line. Randy leads Jack into the ground. "Thanks Randy, I take back everything I said about Scraplets."

The imposter was about to strike when someone else strikes him from behind.

Eva was pacing around in fear hoping her plan worked. Optimus was also scared but didn't show it. "Eva, you have to calm down. Jack is going to be fine."

"Optimus, I can't hide my fear on the inside like you can. I'm a big sister that just sent her younger brother on a rescue mission." A bridge opens up near them and Eva instantly runs in it with Optimus following in. Eva makes it through to find Jack and Miko safe and sound. "Jackie Chan!" Eva runs to him and hugs him. "I'm so glad you're safe, little brother."

"Your Kung Fu instincts never lie, sister."

"That is why you jumped in?" Arcee walks to him and Eva. "Why would you risk your life like that?"

"I will always put trust in my sister."

Eva smiles but instantly fades away when seeing Wheeljack. "YOU!" Eva takes out her gun.

"Hey, hey! Easy sister. That's not the imposter. The imposter is probably gone after activating the bomb on him."

Eva looks at the bot and sees that looks more like an Autobot than before. "Okay, if my brother says it's true, I'll buy." She puts away her gun. "But I'm watching you."

"Um Eva?"

Eva turns to Miko. She was about to reach in her pocket for the smoke bomb when she sighs in defeat. If she doesn't play for her now, she will keep trying to avoid Miko for the rest of her life. "Fine, one song."

"Yeah!" Miko runs to her guitar.

"But it will be a song of my choosing." Eva grabs the guitar and wraps the strap around her. She looks at the guitar feels the strings at the tip of her fingers. It might have been a few days since she held a guitar, but before that it was over three years, so she is more nervous than ever.

Miko sees Eva's hair turning light purple and walks to her. "You don't have to do this." She grabs the guitar but Eva puts her hand to intervene.

"I have to Miko." Eva looks at the teen. "I want to." Miko steps back and Eva whistles for her board. She picks it up and flips a switch and it turns from hoover board to boom-box. It began to play the preview of Beat it then she plays the guitar with spunk.

Beat it Beat it
Oooooh Yeah

Beat it Beat it
Ooo Yeah yeah

Whoo!

Everyone claps to her performance. Miko hugs her from behind. "That was awesome! You didn't tell me you could sing."

"If I can play the guitar, there is a slight chance that I can sing too." Her pats her hair from her blue high lights. "Also my band used to call me the Queen of Rock back in the day, so my title sometimes gets in my head whenever I play."

Miko grabs Eva's arms. "Whoa, wait a minute. You're the Queen of Rock in the Battling Divas?" Eva scratches her head. Miko let's go and gives an EEEEEE! "Oh… my god. I can't believe I didn't recognize you. Your albums were still up in that rock shop."

"Yeah, that's because Jasmine's Uncle own the shop."

"I love that song, 'take me away' where you play that rocking guitar solo. Is it true that your music literally lifted the roof at the fair stage?"

Eva's hair turned pink. "No, that was just a rumor." She listens to the other conversation. "What is going on over there?" Eva takes off the guitar and gave it to Miko.

"…now that my ship's repaired, I'm itching to know what else I might find out there."

Miko walked over to Bulkhead and Wheel jack, "Wait, you're leaving? Why?"

Bulkhead makes a sad smile. "Ohh … because some 'bots never change."

Optimus nodded gratefully. "Wheeljack, know that you'll always have a haven here."

Bulkhead slapped Wheeljack on the back. "Jackie never stays, but he always comes back." They make a fist bump and Ratchet activates the ground bridge. Everyone except Optimus, Ratchet and Eva walk through.

Once they were gone, Eva takes a deep breath. "I can't take it anymore. I have to tell them."

"Tell them what?" Ratchet is confused for a second then knew what she meant. "Oh… are you sure you want to?"

"Well, let's see who knows already, Optimus, Ratchet, Jack, Uncle Will, and I'm pretty sure that Arcee knows because she didn't flitch when she found out I was in my mother's lab." The two bots nod. "So the only ones that don't know about this are Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Miko, and Rafael. So more than half members know about the secret, so I don't think the other half should be left in the dark. As soon as they enter the base, I'm going to tell them the secret."

"Ratchet, Wheeljack's ship exit the atmosphere and we're ready to bridge."

"On it, Arcee." Ratchet walks to the control. "Ready Eva?"

Eva looks at the un-activated bridge and takes a deep breath. "No turning back. Do it." Ratchet activates the bridge and the rest of the team enters.

Arcee was the first one to know something was wrong. "Are you okay Eva?"

"Everyone…" All the team stares at her. "There's something that I…"

Optimus picks her up. "That we…"

Ratchet walks next to Eva. "…have to tell you." Everyone gets confused but Eva is great that her partner and her friend were there to back her up.

Please don't hate me, but please don't leave me in the dark.
