Far away from Earth or Cybertron on the space station where Alyx had run into Rodimus a dark Azori'jin cruiser docked.

A welcoming committee of four six-armed guard-robots approached the cruiser, cause it had docked without permission. It never even had asked for permission either, it just docked.

And the weird thing was, the station's security couldn't do a darn thing to stop it. Their defence weaponry was offline for some reason and the dock-blocking systems didn't respond.

There weren't any technical failures to be found in the station's systems. The robots in Central Control had no explanation for it.

The dark cruiser's sliding doors opened and the six-armed guards came face to face with the Azori'jins on board.

"You do not have permission to dock on this station!" the biggest guard warned them as they all aimed their guns at the intruders.

The Azori'jin in the middle was dressed as a man of wealth and great importance. His eyes were bright blue and his fiery hair was pulled back in a long tail. He stepped forwards, followed by his two minions who clearly had a high rank.

A smirk formed on Takehiko's face. Without a word he walked towards the robots who started to feel this tingling sensation in their circuits.

"Return to your ship at once and leave this station!" The first guard said, ignoring the tingling sensation.

Takehiko never even looked at the robots as he fried their circuits and neither did his servants.

"Find her." Was the only thing he said to his servants, who immediately transformed to wolf like animals and took off. He himself went out to have an investigation on his own.

Meaning: grabbing every robot that crossed his path to dig through its mind looking for information on Alyx. And when finding nothing of any use he fried the robot's mind instantly.

That didn't stay unnoticed and quickly all mechanical life-forms got out of his way. Only twice did new guards try to stop him, without success.

One of his minions came back after a while, holding a female robot in his grasp. He had transformed back to his organic metal self and had grown large enough to manage to fierce female.

"This one has befriended her. She is no longer here. It seems she left with some robots called Autobots." He told his master. "But she has no knowledge of where they took her."

The other one came back just in time. "This one does!"

He had caught Octane, who had come back to get himself some energon. But this time not to steal it. He needed the energon cause Galvatron had banned him from the ranks of the Decepticons a while ago. He had pulled some dumb ass trick on him, trying to become Decepticon leader. (episode: thief in the night).

"He knows quit a bit about those Autobots."

A malicious smirk formed on Takehiko's a face. "Well, let's go get her than."

Far away from there Alyx finally lived among the Autobots as their friend, being her very self.

On a sunny afternoon I was sitting on the shoulder of Dad's statue, thinking about how my life had changed so far.

"Hey, Alyx!" Daniel called up to me from the ground.

I looked down. "What's up Daniel?"

"Could I…. Would you…" how was he gonna ask that to make sure I would comply.

I grinned, transformed to my eagle form and flew down, transforming back to my self as I landed. "What is it?"

"That is SO COOL!!" he exclaimed enthusiastically. "Would you PLEASE fly me around on your back? PLEASE! I would so much like to know what's that like!"

I smiled at him and transformed back. I grew my eagle form large enough for him to get on my back. "You'd better hold on tight. And if you fall, I'll catch you."

"ALLRIGHT!!" he quickly got on my back and we took off.

After flying for a while around Autobot-city and the near area we noticed an Autobot shuttle arriving.

"It must be dad, Rodimus and Ultra Magnus!" Daniel cheered.

The shuttle had landed and they got out we came soaring down with incredible speed. Daniel held on tight. His eyes got all teary from the wind but he kept his eye opened anyway cause he didn't wanna miss a thing.

"Gee, Rodimus sure looks down," I saw it on the look on his face and the way he walked.

"You can see that from up here? At this speed??"

"Yeah. And I can sense his mood…"

"Cool! Well, let's go cheer him up a bit! Take a dive Alyx!"

"I sure hope he's in for it."

I took a nosedive to go even faster while Daniel held on tight and tried very hard not to scream and alert Rodimus.

Close to the ground I spread my wings, turned 90 degrees and soared past Rodimus at full speed. His energon pump skipped a few beats and he jumped aside.

Before I landed I transformed to a spotted horse as I soared close above the ground so my feet touched down ready for full gallop. We stopped right in front of Rodimus who had put his hands in his sides and gave us a strict look.

"HI Rodimus!" we greeted him cheerfully.

He bent down and pointed his finger right at the both of us. "Are you two completely mad?!"

I grinned. "Told you," I hissed at Daniel.

Daniel jumped off my back and I transformed back to my organic metal self. I grew to my larger self so I could take his face in my hands.

"We are only trying to cheer you up!" I gently pressed a kiss on his lips, one to make Ultra Magnus as well as Spike quit jealous.

"HEY! Come on!" Daniel growled. "Get a room!"

We ignored the little smurf.

"That does make me feel better."

"Just better?"

"Way better." He was radiating again.

"So who made you feel so miserable?"

"Oh, some government officials are giving us trouble about the amount of damage that's often left after a battle between us and the Decepticons," he let out with a sigh. "It's bad for business and tourism and it costs them millions of dollars."

I frowned. "They seriously can't expect you all to kick Decepti-can without damaging anything? And what about all the lives you guys save on almost daily basis?"

Rodimus grinned. "That's what I told them. It didn't change their minds."

"Tell them you all will leave this planet to the mercy of the Decepticons than. That should shut them up!"

We all walked away from the shuttle. Rodimus wanted to go to Central Control to be updated to everything that had happened while he was away.

"You know we can't do that," Ultra Magnus stated. "People are depending on us."

"Not everybody is complaining," Spike added to that. "Just the officials."

I GOT THE GREATEST IDEA!!

It was so great I had the most trouble to keep it to myself. But it had to be a surprise! That night I had diner with the Witwicky's and I told them all about it.

"I've been thinking," I started when Carly put her homemade spaghetti on our plates. "The Autobots are getting a lot of negative publicity lately, aren't they?"

"Yeah, we know," Spike said. "It's been that way for as long as I can remember."

"Can't we call out to the fans to encourage Rodimus and the other Autobots? Let's place an advertisement in the papers around the country and put a fan-site online," I revealed my ideas.

"Why didn't we ever think of that?" Daniel was all enthusiastic right away. "We can do that, right dad, mom?"

Spike and Carly looked at each other, than they looked at us and seeing our enthusiasm they just couldn't refuse us.

"But we can't tell them yet, we'll tell them as soon as we have a whole pile of fanmail," I said with a big grin.

"YEAH!" Daniel agreed. "And I'll take care of the site!"

The next few days we stalked every Autobot with a digital camera to get some great shots for the site. We told them we were making a digital Autobot photo album.

We tried to get good photo's without being seen most of the time but some noticed us and chased us off. Like the Dinobots! But we got their pictures anyway, I just made them pose.

Some even modeled for us! That was fun. Especially with the brothers Sunstreaker and Sideswipe!

We caught them outside as they wanted to go for a ride. Being the two biggest pranksters among the Autobots they were the perfect recipe for a hilarious photo-shoot.

They took impressive fighting stances and showed off their Lamborghini Countach forms.

"How cute!" I laughed as they transformed to their car-mode. "You're even the same kind of car!"

Sunstreaker – the yellow Lamborghini – let his engine roar aggressively. "Yeah, we may look alike, but I've got super-tuning!"

Sideswipe – the red one – grinned. "That's what he tells everybody, but he hasn't tuned his 'super' tuning for years!"

"HEY!" Sunstreaker transformed back to his robot mode. Sideswipe quickly transformed too just in time to avoid his brother's grasp.

"I'm still faster than you!" he laughed. "Even without the super tuning!"

Sunstreaker smirked and launched a brotherly attack on him. This time he had him and they wrestled around on the ground like a couple of kids, each trying to get out of the other's firm grip.

"Come on, Daniel, we got enough pictures of these two. Let's get out of here before we get crushed," I said with a grin.

Within a week Daniel had constructed an amazing site. I put a nicely written article together with the help of Spike, Carly and Marissa.

We went to the biggest newspaper to get the article printed, with several great pictures and of course to website address of the new fan-site.

The editor had good experiences with the Autobots, he was a fan. So he got it in the next day's paper!

What would the Autobots think?? We sure hoped they'd be pleased.

The next morning I was having an enormous breakfast in the mess-hall when Rodimus came to find me.

"Have you seen today's paper?" he asked me. "You've got to take a look at today's paper."

"I don't read papers," I said as I chewed away a bun with cheese, ham and salad. "Prefer the tele."

"Here, have a look," he handed me a paper he got from one of the people who worked in Central Ops. "Page eleven."

I sense he was all excited about something in the paper. Of course I knew what it was but I acted all surprised.

"Gee, what could there possibly be on page eleven…" I pulled a surprised face as I opened the paper on the particular page. "Well, will you look at that… all full color! Amazing! Is that you? That's you!" I pointed at the picture on the top of the page.

"Go on, read it, it's really good!" he encouraged me and tapped with his finger on the page.

I grinned and leaned back on my chair. "I know what it says," I admitted. "I helped writing it together with Spike, Carly and Marissa."

He gave me a surprised look. "Really?"

I nodded. "It was about time for some positive Autobot publicity. To let the people who do appreciate you guys get to know you all a bit better on a personal level. You should see the website Daniel built."

"So that's why you needed all those pictures! Am I glad I gave you a fantastic pose…"

I grinned.

"Do you believe it will help?"

"Of course! I bet you have lot's of fans out there! Just wait and see."

Only a few days later Spike, Daniel, Carly, Marissa and me brought piles of fan mail to Rodimus and the others. Including lots of kids-drawings.

"Look at all of this! People just love you guys!" Marissa cheered.

"We told you you're really appreciated?" I said.

"All this fan mail sure proves that," Spike added to that.

"You should look at the guest-book on our site! It's loaded with messages!" Daniel said with a big smile on his face.

Sunstreaker came walking by with a pile of fan-mail. "Look at all the mail I got!"

"Look at MY fan-mail! My pile is way bigger than yours!" Sideswipe teased his brother.

"Oh really? Get your can over here and we will compare our mail!"

They took off to a more quiet place.

Rodimus smiled. "You guys, I don't know what to say…"

I gave him a big beaming smile back and said: "Don't say anything, just enjoy our fan-mail."
