Luna awoke to see Sunstreaker launch himself towards Sideswipe, and she cried out. She started squirming, trying to get out of Sideswipes hand, when the blue and red body of Optimus interfered. Sideswipe brought the girl towards his chest, and she quieted, the sound of his systems and the beat of his spark calming.

"Don't fight over me." She said, and she flinched as the three mechs turned to look at her. She ducked her head into Sideswipe's chest, tears starting to fall as she felt their stares in her back.

"Why are the Decepticreeps after you, Luna?" Sunstreaker asked her, and she peeked at him, pressing herself closer to Sideswipes chest as his spark beat rose. She let her eyes shut as she sighed.

"Starscream wants me back,…" she murmured, sleep overcoming her again. Sunny sighed, wrapping an arm around his brother as the red mech let himself fall into recharge with his charge. Optimus walked to the other side of the cargo bay, letting the three have this moment. They were coming upon the ark soon anyways.

"Optimus to Ratchet." Optimus radioed out to the rest of his crew. A garbled answer came back.

"Ratchet here." Optimus responded, telling him quickly and briefly about Luna.

"Inbound with a human. She was caught up in our fight with the seekers."

"Any injures?" Ratchet replied calmly. Optimus could faintly hear the sounds of medical tools being moved around as the medic prepared.

" Unknown on the girl. Neither the twins nor I are injured." He replied, and he heard the hum of an answer.

"Optimus out." He said, and he glanced over at the three, a hidden smile replacing his normal scowl under the battle mask.

"Optimus sir? The ark is ahead three miles. We should be touching down in two minutes." Skyfire said quietly. Optimus thanked Skyfire for the warning, and he walked over to the twins and the girl.

"Sideswipe, Sunstreaker! Were home." Optimus said, and the first one awake was Sunstreaker. He stretched carefully, trying not to jostle the two on his lap as he felt them descend.

"Sides. Wake up. Were back." The yellow mech whispered, and the red mech stretched as well, balancing the sleeping girl on his chest. He carefully gathered her up as he stood up. There was a slight bump, and the bay door opened behind them. There was an unhappy medic and second in command waiting for the three.

"You two have some explaining to do." The mech said, and the twins cringed, waiting for the lightning to strike. As soon as everyone was out of him, Skyfire swiftly transformed into his mech mode. He ducked down as they all went into the ark.

"Sideswipe. Let me see the girl." Said Ratchet, and he held out a hand as they were walking closer to the med bay. The grouchy old warrior was intent on making sure that none of them were seriously injured.

"I don't know Ratchet. She might not like waking up to see your ugly mug." Sides said, and he ducked as the enraged medic subspaced a wrench and threw it at his head. This jostled Luna, who started to wake up. Sides quickly handed the girl over as Ratchet waved a wrench over him as a threat. She blinked, scrubbing the sleep out of her eyes and she looked up into an unfamiliar face.

"NO! Leave me alone!" she said, and she stared thrashing, trying to get out of his grip. He tightened his grip as he started to scan the girl.

"STOP IT!" she said, and suddenly, the mech were floored by a large sonic boom. The dust started to settle as weapons were pulled out. All of the mechs had their audio receptors blown out, and they were left deaf. They looked around for the Seekers, but there was no Decepticons in the hallway. Ratchet sighed, recalibrating his audio receptors and using old codes to tell the others how to fix their hearing.

"Where is Luna?" Sides signed to his brother, and the other mechs looked as well, noting the fact that there was no human among them.

"You don't think…." Optimus said, looking to Ratchet. He just sighed, shrugging with his shoulders.

"Nothing surprises me anymore, Optimus." Ratchet said, and he moved over to the twins, checking them over.

"Jazz, were going to need help with something." Optimus radioed to the third in command, and he got a reply.

"We need to go get a human who ran outside. Do you know anyone who can help?" Optimus asked, and Jazz listed a few names.

"Red Alert, were going to need your alarms disabled and lights on outside." Optimus radioed to one of his men, and he moved towards the exit, trying to see where the girl went.
