A/N

I don't like Anonymous reviewers sometimes. It makes it hard for me to reply to silly questions. Anyway, to one anonymous reviewer, 1) I cannot make the Cybertronian cast robots again so soon otherwise the Humanized Trilogy title would be useless. 2) I cannot give the iCarly cast powers seeing as this is the last chapter of this book. 3) there is no All Spark in Generation one.

That aside, here is the final chapter of iHumanized.

Chapter 20: End of Podcast

Carly could quite describe the events that followed Perceptor stepping into the vortex's energy. At first all seemed normal, or as normal was this sort of thing was. Perceptor seemed in complete control and the Autobots felt the same way. Bumblebee pressed them back, pulling out his gun. Carly could hardly make out what happened next but she couldn't contain her fears and emotions very long. Sam held onto her when tears began forming.

Freddie watched carefully, keeping track of which stray gun fire went from which barrel. No one seemed to have good aim. Bumblebee got a good hit on Thundercracker, who could no longer hold his grip on Ironhide, giving the Autobot solider his chance to escape. With a swift head-butt upward, the back of Ironhide's head met with Thundercracker's chin and the Con fell back. Ironhide leapt onto his feet, dashing toward Perceptor and Bumblebee, ripping his gun from his pocket at the same moment.

Starscream staggered back, gripping his gun tight enough to make his hand shake. Prowl kneel before him, panting hard and unable to move far enough to escape. Starscream took this as a perfect cover, lifting Prowl and aiming the gun flat upon Prowl's temple. The Autobot watched the Con carefully through the corner of his eye, though he couldn't see much. Everything was fading black more and more, no matter how hard he tried to fight it.

"I'd hold your fire if you want your friend to live!" snarled Starscream, though his hand was still shaking.

The flash of gun fire stopped from both sides, with all eyes looking to Starscream with fear or hope. From their point, off to the side and cowering behind the tall grass, Carly could barely make out what was happening any more. Then there was a sudden flash and a shout of pain. Carly jumped to her feet, fearing that Starscream had gone against his word but Freddie quickly pulled her back. By then, all three of them were standing and could see what was happening. It wasn't Prowl. It was Perceptor.

"Percy!" called Carly.

Perceptor's hypotenuse about the two polar energy waves crossing, or simply him meeting the strongest point of vortex energy, was correct. Though painfully, Perceptor was reopening the vortex between time and space. It looked like lightning from the air, bright blue and fast a racecar, shot through and around Perceptor, forcing the Autobot to stand straight with open arms. Behind him, the vortex was opening.

"An exit…" whispered Starscream, glancing at his fellow Decepticons.

"A way to Megatron," Soundwave suggested.

"Yes, yes, whatever," grumbled Starscream, tossing Prowl aside and firing a shot at Bumblebee.

The young Autobot managed to dodge, though he left the Decepticons an opening to enter the opening door. Thundercracker and Skywarp raced through, without an order or thought otherwise. Soundwave glanced back at Starscream and entered thirdly. Starscream stood in the vortex doorway, looking back to almost contemplate his next move. He smirked, gripping onto Perceptor by the neck, gun again flat against the temple.

"We shall be going now," smirked the Con.

"Perceptor!" cried Ironhide, taking aim.

"Now, now," chuckled Starscream, waving a finger. "A stray bullet may hit your friend."

"Do it, Ironhide!" ordered Perceptor, though it was through clenched teeth.

"I can't risk it…" growled Ironhide, lowering his gun.

"No," whispered Carly.

At that moment all seemed lost. Starscream began slipping back, taking Perceptor along with him. Ironhide turned away. Bumblebee did the same. Carly turned to Sam, burying her face into her friend's shoulder. Freddie didn't turn though. He saw something everyone missed. Prowl pulling out his gun. The sharp click of the gun letting loose was startling, pulling everyone's attention to it as Starscream gripped his shoulder and fell backward into the portal. Prowl let out a sigh of relief, flopping over onto his side in pain.

Perceptor struggled to keep his balance. He almost had it but couldn't keep it. Falling back, Perceptor reached out for anyone's hand. He simply didn't expect anyone to grasp it, but someone did. Freddie pulled hard, falling backward as he pulled Perceptor back into their reality. The two laid on the ground, panting for air desperately. Looking up at each other, the two couldn't help but laugh.

"Thanks," Perceptor hummed.

"No problem," panted Freddie, slowly getting to his feet.

"I owe you a bit, don't I?" nodded Perceptor.

"Don't mention it," Freddie answered, looking back as Carly and Sam came running.

As the three humans hugged, Perceptor turned back to the vortex. It was still open, waiting the last four Cybertronians to exit. He glanced back. Ironhide and Bumblebee were helping Prowl to his feet and leading him over. Perceptor sighed, stepping back into place as the vortex's doorman.

"What are you doing?" gasped Carly.

"We need to leave and there's no telling how long this thing will stay open without me there," Perceptor answered, feeling the pain once more.

"What if we get separated?" whimpered Bumblebee. "What if we end up in different worlds?"

"The chances we will reunite are great, I promise," nodded Perceptor. "All that matters is getting Prowl through and to some help."

"Alright, but you better make it through with us," snapped Ironhide.

The three slowly shuffled and entered the vortex. Perceptor stood, the last Autobot and Cybertronian, looking at the three humans. Carly, Freddie and Sam looked at Perceptor with deep bittersweet emotions in their eyes. Perceptor offered a smile. Carly come close first, giving Perceptor a hug goodbye. Freddie went second and Sam, grumbling, came last. The four's hug didn't last long as the vortex let out a shriek. It needed to be closed soon. The three pulled off, standing at a supposedly safe distance. They waved.

"Goodbye!" called Carly.

"Don't forget about us, right?" Freddie shouted.

"If you do, I will beat you," Sam smiled.

Perceptor smiled, nodding. He closed his eyes as he took that last step back. He wasn't quite sure why but it felt right. He didn't see how he went through into this world, and he didn't want to see how he went into this one. He wasn't it to be left up to mystery. Mystery and chance.

A/N

This ends the first book in the series. The second will be Transformers/Bones Crossover so look for it in that section. It will keep the Humanized Trilogy half of the title. It will not be out a few days or weeks after posting this. I have a story backup and must attend to finals. So until the next one arrives, goodbye.
