"How are we gonna explain this to Daniel?" Carly asked when they drove back to Autobot city. "With Lucky gone?"
"Tell him she left," Prime said. "He knows her as a dog, dogs take off so every now and then." He let out a sigh. "And so do young adolescents."
"Don't worry, Prime. It seems she's in good hands, right?" Ironhide said.
"Yeah… I know…" Prime had to admit. "Now I now what parents feel like when their kids leave home."
"She's just 'off to college' so to say." Bumblebee added.
That didn't make him feel a lot better. The Autobots clearly noticed he was more quiet than usual for a while. But he had to compose himself again. And after receiving a message from Alyx that she had arrived at Azoria and all was well he returned to his usual behaviour.
He had to, cause the Autobots had big plans for a strike against the Decepticons. Afteralmost a year of it was almost time to put their plan into motion.
(Alyx is gone for almost a year now)
When they launched a shuttle from Moon Base One back to Autobot City – for the final preparations - the Decepticons overheard the transmission and attacked the shuttle and used it to infiltrate Autobot City. They were discovered by Hot Rod but that didn't stop them from attacking anyway.
You all who have seen The Movie know what happens next!

Far, far away, on planet Azoria, Alyx had no idea of all that was going on. She didn't have a lot of time to send messages back to Autobot City. The Autobot's didn't have enough power to send any messages back to her, so they could not tell her about Prime's sacrifice that helped big-time to defeat the Decepticons.
She had no idea he wasn't gonna be there to welcome her when she got back. Or that Cybertron was once again under Autobot control. And not even that their new leader was Hot Rod… or now Rodimus Prime.
Every message she sent back to Earth – al though it weren't many – she addressed to 'Dad'. The only ones left who knew about her, and read her messages, were Spike, Carly and Bumblebee.
She was gone for ever a year now. They started to wonder when she would come back. Maybe it took her longer than a year to learn all she needed to know.
In her messages she told them she had remembered most of her life before the tragic attack on her and her parents. For as far as she could at least. Her earliest memories started when she was about two years old. And those were only a few. But that's normal.
And she found out that her family was one of the most powerful ones on Azoria. That was probably why her parents were killed and why she was disposed off. She and her brother still hadn't found out who was behind the attack. She just didn't remember even seeing their faces.
After a lot of training she mastered all of the skills an Azori'jin of a powerful family should be able to master.
She wasn't too pleased about the Azori'jin look on mechanical lifeforms. On Azoria there lived plenty mechanical life forms. But they didn't really coexist as friends, like Transformers and humans. Most of them were working for the Azori'jins. And there was a lot of disrespect for any mechanical life.
Kanaye had changed his opinion about that thanks to Prime, but he wasn't ready to let go of his workers just yet. He had started treating them a lot better.
Than there was this guy she was gonna meet from another powerful family. Kanaye had said this meeting was very important. She had no idea why.
That was her last message… about half a year ago…
Back on Cybertron.
"Have you seen Rodimus?" Kup asked Ultra Magnus as he ran into him in the hallway.
"Yeah, he left..."
Kup didn't even let him finish. "What do you mean, he left?"
"… me in charge…" Ultra Magnus held his hands up. "What's the hurry?"
"So where did he go?!" Kup wanted to know and gave UM a stern look.
"Didn't he tell you?"
Kup put his hands in his sides. "NO, he did NOT."
"He needed a brake." And he mumbled. "I can tell why…."
Kup rolled his eyes. Or at least, if he could roll them, he would have.
"We all need a brake."
Springer approached the two of them and overheard part of the conversation.
"Take it easy on him, Kup," he said as he walked in their direction. "Let the kid have his brake. If it will do him good, it will do us good, so what's the harm."
"I know it isn't easy to be a leader, I know all about it. And he's way younger than me." Ultra Magnus defended his young leader. "Do you have any idea what it's like, being a leader?"
"More than I'd like to!" He said with a grumbling voice. "Very well than. So does that mean YOU will speak to the ambassador from…."
"Oh PRIMUS! Totally forgotten about him! I'll go and see him right away!" Ultra Magnus quickly took off followed by Kup and a grinning Springer.
Rodimus had taken a shuttle, a small one, and took off from Cybertron. The leadership rested heavy on his shoulders and Prime's shoes were so darn hard to fill. He hadn't really found his place in all of this just yet.
It all started off nicely, kicking Galvatron's behind, celebrating the victory over Unicron. After that trouble started.
And now, after several months of leadership, he needed a brake away from Cybertron, away from Earth and away from any Autobot or Decepticon.
He knew about this space station not too far away and not too close by where he wanted to take a look.
It was a large station (comparable with the station in Babylon 5, hope you've seen that, but than bigger) suitable for mechanical as well as organic life forms. It was just so far off that there might just be nobody who actually knew who he was.
After parking the shuttle and wandering around for several hours he came across this bar that seemed to be very popular on the station, especially among the mechanical life-forms. He was literally pushed in there by robot's who's only life's purpose was to fill up the place.
And it had a huge lit up sign that said energon was served here! He could use a large glass of energon! He walked in further, looking around. There were lot's of females: humanoids and robots – couldn't tell just yet if they were Transformers – working here, riding around on roller-skates (the ones with the four wheels on a row) holding trays with energon or empty glasses.
When he looked ahead he saw one of them heading right at him as she looked the other way, waving at one of the female robots. Her friend saw him get onto her path and her smiling look changed in a 'watch-out!' look.
But before Rodimus could step aside or she could look back in front of her, she rolled right into him. It was like she smashed into a brick wall! The impact had hardly any effect on him though.
"Oh, sorry 'bout that," he apologized, grateful she wasn't holding a tray with filled OR empty glasses.
She shook her head, still a bit dazed from the collision. Before she lost her balance and fell down Rodimus held her up with his hand on her back. She wasn't a transformer… or a robot for that matter. But she looked like she had a metallic skin or something of the sort. He'd never seen any one like that before.
After blinking her eyes a few times she looked up at him. "No, no, I'm sorry, I wasn't watching…" she looked up at his face but when her eyes came across the flames on his chest her voice kinda got stuck in he throat.
He was as surprised as she was as he recognized a familiar face. It were here bright blue eyes that gave her away. "Alyx?"
Her heart almost stopped.
