Another month had passed and the Autobots were making plans to return to Cybertron once they learned that the Decepticons were making a ship. Optimus had not told the others of Blazer, Whirlwind, and Wingclip secret yet due to their request for it. The three friends were worried about the plans and whether or not to go along with it. They decided to ask Optimus for his opinion of the matter.
"So you're worried about leaving," Optimus said.
"Yes, we want to go with you guys and help out but we also don't want leave our families behind," Wingclip explained.
""Whether you come or not is up to you three only," Optimus said, "You just have to go by your spark."
Optimus then left the three to their decision.
"So what should it be, guys?" Wingclip asked.
Nobody answered for a while until Blazer spoke up.
"I think we should go with them," Blazer said, "We got to finish what we started here and help the Autobots stop the Decepticons once and for all."
"I agree with you Blazer for I feel the same way," Whirlwind said, "but how are we going to tell are parents about this."
"Whirlwind is right," Wingclip said, "They are sure to disagree about this."
"We got to go whether they like it or not," Blazer said, "We got a duty to uphold that we must fulfill."
"I agree," Wingclip said.
Blazer, Whirlwind, and Wingclip soon left the base to tell their parents the news. When they reach them and told them the news they were not happy about it. Well at least their mothers were not happy.
"No way are you going," Mrs. White said sternly.
"Come on mom," Rad said.
"I said no," Mrs. White said, "It is bad enough that you are a giant robot but now you are going to some strange planet. I simply won't have it."
Rad groaned knowing full well that his mother wasn't going to change her mind any time soon.
"Mom, listen to me just once," Rad began, "I'm going and that is that whether you agree or not. I'm not a little kid anymore and duty to the Autobots to uphold and I'm not going to let them down."
"Oh Rad," Was all Mrs. White said.
"Let Rad go," Mr. White spoke up, "Up to now he was able to take care of himself."
"But," Mrs. White said.
"I know you are worried about me," Rad said, "But like dad said I can take care of myself and I got my friends and the Autobots to back me up if I'm in trouble."
"Alright if this is what you want," Mrs. White said finally giving up, "Just be careful."
"Thanks mom," Rad said, "And don't worry I'll be careful."
And with that Rad was off to return to the base with his friends. They told Optimus that they were going with. The next week or so the three friends busied themselves with helping build the ship. On the third week the ship was finally done and ready to take off.
"Is everybody ready?" Optimus said.
"You bet, Optimus," Hot Shot Replied.
"Okay let's go," Optimus said.
Everybody boarded the ship deemed the Ark and took off. The take off was smoothed with no complication of any sort. They soon entered space and made their way to Cybertron.
"We'll warp once we get some distance from Earth," Optimus said.
The others nodded in replay as they worked to maintain the ship and prepare to warp. Once some distance had been made they finally engaged the warp system and they were warped all the way to Cybertron. Blazer, Whirlwind, and Wingclip stared in aw as they approached the metal planet.
"Is that Cybertron?" Whirlwind asked.
"Yep, our home world," Sideswipe said.
"Blazer, Whirlwind, Wingclip," Optimus said, "I must thank you for coming all this way to help us."
"No problem, Optimus," Blazer said
"Optimus we're ready to land," Red Alert said.
Optimus nodded as the Ark slowly descended onto Cybertron. When they did the hatch lowered down to let the Autobots onto Cybertron. As they went down the hatch a shadow loomed over head. The Autobots didn't see the ship pass over head until it opened fired on them. The Autobots took cover and fired back at the ship.
"Should have known that the Decepticons would be here," Hot Shot said.
"That can't be help now," Blurr said as he dodged a blast.
The Autobots knew they were out gunned and needed to take cover fast. They quickly went into a nearby building not knowing if someone or something was inside.
