"Dawn!" Raf shouted from his spot on a table in the Temenos.
"What is it, kiddo?" I walked over and bent to his height.
"You might wanna take a look." Raf turned his computer towards me. On it was a news cast.
'This just in. We are receiving a message from the being who has taken Earth hostage.' a news anchor looked at the camera scared.
'Roll the message.' someone said off screen. An image of Megatron appeared.
'Humans of Earth. I am your supreme ruler, Megatron. If you wish no harm to come upon you, turn in the one known as Dawn Avalon Summers.' a small picture of me appeared. It was when the pod of my things appeared. 'She is wanted for war crimes against the Decepticons. You have two Earth days to bring her forward.'
The video blanked out and I stared at it in shock.
"Dawn. What's wrong?" Arcee walked into the room as I stood up straight.
"We have two days or Earth will be ruined even more." I spun on my heel and left the work room.
"Ratchet!" I shouted walking into the Medbay.
"Yes?" the medic gave me a dirty look.
"We have a problem." I said. "Megatron's turned to media to hunt me down. He's given Earth two days to turn me in."
"What?" he gaped at me.
"We need to attack tomorrow. And I think the warrant for me can prove useful.
"How so?" the rest of the team walked in…
Time Skip…
"Are you all ready?" I looked at the available fighting forces.
"Hell yeah!" The twins cheered running into the Temenos as the kids and Ratchet walked into the Harvenger.
"Let's do this." Wheeljack gave me a lopsided smirk. The others, including Ultra Magnes who was near his ship with Arcee and Bee, nodded.
"Autobots, Lets do some damage. HOOYA!" I raised the Sun Saber into the air before entering the Temenos with the Wreckers and Grimlock.
Both my ship and Ultra Magnes' rose into the air with loud hums. I sat in the cockpit with the Sun Saber laying in my lap as I flew the ship towards Darkmount, Nevada. Wheeljack and the Twins were eagerly talking about all the damage they were going to do while Bulkhead was with Grimlock. My nerves were nearly fried with how nervous I was about the plan. When the tower came into view, I landed the Knight's Temenos and let everyone out. The twins patted my back as I passed them. Grimlock knelt so I could climb onto his back. I drew the Sun Saber and the Dinobot leader began walking towards the Decepticon Citadel.
"Good luck, Prime." my squadron saluted.
"Thanks. Just remember, when Grimlock comes back. You begin the attack." I said. When we got close to the tower, Vehicon drones surrounded us.
"Surrender, criminal." one ordered. I placed the Sun Saber on my back and slid from Grim's back.
"I will, but let my pet go." I held my servos in the air as two drones cuffed me while the others backed away from Grimlock who nodded to me before running back to the ship.
"Move it." A drone shoved his blaster in my back, causing me to stumble. Silence surrounded us as we entered an elevator and it rose to the top floor.
"Well, well, well. It seems that this planet doesn't care about those who protect it." Megatron gave me a shark toothed smile as I was brought before him. One drone kicked the back of my knees and I fell to the ground with my head bowed. "Tell me, who turned you in? That stupid beast of yours?"
"I came of my own free will." I replied looking up at the Warlord while retracting my visor.
"By the Allspark. She's blind!" Screamer cackled. What a dumbass.
"Sure, keep thinking that." I rolled my optics. "That's what femmes do, make fun of others less fortunate. Am I right?"
"I am a mech!" Screamer clawed the side of my face, that to which I growled and rose to my peds.
"You messed with the wrong Prime." I broke my bonds against the blade of the Sun Saber before I grabbed said relic.
"Wait, another Prime?" Screamer looked at me afraid before cackling like mad. "How wondrous. That means that Optimus Prime is dead!"
"No." I tried to not think about him being gone. "You lie!"
"Lord Megatron! The Autobots are attacking, and one has infiltrated the reactor room." A drone came running up.
"I will take care of you later!" Megatron sneered punching the side of my helm, knocking me into darkness.
Thirty Minutes Later….
"All invaders have been taken captive master." Starscream informed Megatron as I came too. "Yet there was no sign of Optimus Prime."
My optics widened then.
"No." I breathed beginning to struggle against my bonds.
"So tell me, Commander. Where might your leader be?" Megatron growled at Ultra Magnes. I struggled more and decided to rub the metal shackles against the Sun Saber. A quiet clink alerted me that I was free. "I will not ask again."
"If I knew, I wouldn't tell you." The wreaker leader grunted.
"Very well." Megatron activated his sword and Starscream stepped up. "Execute our prisoners, save for the flamed femme. And fire all cannons at the nearest metropolis within its sights. It is time to show the known universe that this planet belongs to Megatron."
Slowly I rose to my peds. A speck on the horizon caught my attention.
"Master! Somethings coming." the seeker looked at the speck. As it drew closer, I could see it was a bot. With similar armor to mine.
"The Predacon?" the War Lord asked.
"Hmm, not beasty enough." The seeker began to back up worried. Red and blue covered the bot and I smiled.
"What are you smiling about prisoner?" A Vehicon sneered.
My smile became Cheshire as I transformed my servos into my cannons. Optimus landed and back-servoed Megatron as I shot all nearby drones. Optimus and I nodded to one another as we took down Decepticons. Ultra Magnes stood and began beating the shit out of Starscream. With our combined fire power, Optimus and I killed the rest of the drones around us while Megatron was buried in what remained of his throne. The Wrecker leader came up to us and Optimus was confused.
"Commander?" he looked down at the mech.
"S-Sir, you're looking… Knightly." Ultra Magnes was in slight awe.
"Yeah, how is that possible? I'm the Knight of Cybertron. They don't exactly exist here except for Grimlock now." I looked up at the elder Prime. Optimus pulled out the dagger made from my metals. "Oh. You must have had that on you when the change happened."
"I don't mean to interrupt, but it is paramount that we disable the fusion cannons below." Ultra Magnes cleared his vocalizer.
"Understood. Avalon, with me." Optimus' battle mask slid over his face, as did mine. The glass like material reflected the setting sun.
"Aye, aye." I flew into the air with him and we circled the tower.
.:: All units. Optimus Prime has returned::. Ultra Magnes announced over the comm. Cheered from our comrades and a roar made me smile.
Optimus and I split the four cannons between us. While he used a Gatling Gun, I utilized a grenade launcher I had equipped from the Temenos. Before either of us could do anything, Megatron attacked Optimus, leaving me to take down the cannons. I launched a timed grenade into each opening and watched as the two leaders flew wildly around. It had me dizzy before Optimus threw Megatron into the Cannon power supply. With a quick word, I had informed Optimus about the waiting charges. He nodded and we each shot a grenade. Fowler and some of the Air Force fired missiles at the tower as Prime and I cleared the area.
"Hey, Bill. It's good to see ya again. But I'm gonna need a favor." I looked at the lead fighter.
.:: What kind of favor?::. He asked.
"The kind that involves maybe having a huge underground garage made for a giant cybertronian ship?" I drawled.
.:: Ryder, are you out of your mind?::. Fowler shouted.
"What about a hangar instead? Built into a canyon cove? It can be the new Autobot base. I can handle with the camouflage!" I said.
.:: That might be easier to take care of::. He replied.
"Thank you." I closed the comm and flipped onto my back as I flew. "It's over, for now."
"For now." Optimus flew close to me and took my servo in his after I flipped over.
Time Skip…
"On behalf of the President and the Joint Chiefs, I thank you all for your selfless heroism and in defense of this planet. I'm only sorry that the world can't yet know of your undying dedication. Because I for one owe you my Life. My liberty. And my future." Fowler snapped to attention, as did I since I had gone into my smaller form after removing the Sun Saber and changing into my NEST uniform. I stood on Optimus' shoulder as Fowler saluted. I returned the Salute.
"Sir, I believe Avalon Prime has relinquished leadership of the Autobots back to you." Ultra Magnes turned to Optimus.
"I have enough on my servos." I nodded motioning to the twins and Grimlock. "Those three are gonna be trouble in this tiny place."
"Welcome to Earth, Ultra Magnes. And to Team Prime." Optimus nodded to the wrecker leader.
"Don't forget my two extra idiots and then your Ironhide." I whispered into his audio receptor.
"Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Ironhide. I want to welcome you too." Optimus nodded to them. The twins were about to say something stupid till I glared at them.
"We are honored to serve another Optimus Prime." they saluted and I nodded in approval.
"How did you two arrive here?" Ratchet turned to the twins.
"Unicron destroyed everything back home." Sunstreaker replied solemnly. Miko ran up and looked at Optimus.
"Okay, someone has to say it. Optimus 2.0 is Rad!" She did the rock 'n roll symbol with her hands. "Imagine what the forge could do for your bod."
Ratchet scoffed and rolled his optics before we all looked at the massive hammer.
"Is it true that the Forge has been drained of its power?" the medic asked. Smokescreen looked at the ground guilty. "Then any hope of rebuilding the Omega Lock has been lost."
"I did what I thought was right. Even if we would have had Avalon to lead us." Smokescreen responded.
"Then your instincts have proven again to be quite sound." Ratchet gave the rookie a small
