A/N:- Going back to school sucked so much. I got shitloads of homework and found it impossible to stay on top of it all and write this and my other stories -,-

BUT, today (yes, literally, 15th October) is the first time I actually have no homework, so I'm gonna be non-stop typing till I go to bed (wayyy past midnight ;)

I do not own any transformers characters, only my OC's. Enjoy!

Chapter 10:Peace

I frowned as Prowl and Optimus exchanged a look and the latter nodded his head towards me.

"….What is it?" I asked cautiously, flickering my gaze between the two. After another second Optimus, along with the other three, transformed and sped off into the direction of the raging machines. My face crumpled in confusion as Prowl suddenly took off in the opposite direction, me still cupped gently in his hands.

"Where are we going? Wait, what happened to Sari?!" I glared up at his face, demanding a proper answer. Instead he continued to keep his sight locked in front of him as he continued to jump over numerous vehicles and dodge trees.

"Sari's fine, she's been taken somewhere safe." He replied, smoothly avoiding my first question. My frown deepened into a scowl as the pieces finally clicked together.

"I'm not allowed to help?!" I seethed, extremely irritated. A touch of hurt somehow seeped into my voice aswell. Did they not trust me? Was I too much of a liability?

By now Prowl had stopped and placed me onto the soft earth beneath us. I took a quick look around and saw that he had taken me as far as the forest just outside of Detroit.

"What have you taken me all the way out here?!" I demanded, staring the black and gold 'bot down. His metal lips curled into a slight frown.

"So that you will not be able to reach us in time for you to get into harm's way. None of us want to see you or Sari hurt." He calmly explained, "Besides, you have worn yourself out enough using your telekinesis."

Without another word, he turned away and paced forward. Unable to stop myself I called out to him.

"But I won't place myself in danger! Please, let me come back with you."

Prowl froze mid stride, and his shoulders barely noticeably slumped, and for a second I thought he was considering my words. But, after debating with himself, he leapt forward, transformed and sped off, leaving me in his dust.

I stood still for a moment, my face void of all emotion, until my eyes burned with fury as I kicked a nearby rock.

"For fuck's sake!" I yelled into the nothingness, my mind whirling.

I knew I could help, so why did I doubt myself?

(Third Person)

Optimus, Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Ratchet were all racing down the main streets in their alternate modes, seeing the orange glow not too far ahead. All of them had their lights flashing and wailing.

"Don't these things ever learn?!" Ratchet grumbled.

The T-rex, who was chewing on a car, upon spotting the Autobots spit it out and opened its gigantic jaw once more.

"Cars and trucks, BAD!" Its masculine voice roared.

"Apparently they learned to talk…" Prime replied in a half-hearted tone.

The pteranodon then swooped down and shot its fire breath at a bunch of police cars, making them roar up in flames.

"…And a few other tricks." He added on. Bumblebee then sped up.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's send them back to the stone age!" He exclaimed. Timing his moment, Bulkhead swerved safely in front of them all.

"Wait! Uh, I was thinking. Maybe we should lead them someplace safer first." He suggested. The team were silent for a moment.

"Good thinking, Bulkhead!" Optimus complimented. Both Bumblebee and Bulkhead's engines stuttered for half a second.

"He said "good thinking"." Bulkhead muttered in shock.

"And "Bulkhead"." Bumblebee replied, equally surprised at his leaders words to the green lug.

Racing forward, said 'bot spun in a 180 and knocked the T-rex off of its feet, the others following his lead. The plan had worked and soon enough they were driving out of the main part of the city with the three robots in hot pursuit.

They could see a gleam of gold further up from them; and, it was heading their way.

"Took your time, eh, Prowl?" Bumblebee shouted "Not like we're being chased by metal prehistoric giants or anything." Ignoring his loudmouth comrade, the motorcycle continued racing towards them, seemingly urgently. When close enough, he started speaking.

"Why are you bringing them this way of all possible choices?!" The others winced at his exasperated voice.

"Why not?" Ratchet crankily replied, just wanting the situation to be over and done with so that he can go and have a stasis nap.

"You told me to take Aurora AWAY from the fight, and yet you're practically leading them to where she is!" Prowl replied.

"….Oops…"Was Bulkheads response.

"It's a bit too late to change direction now, Prowl." Prime skid to a halt and transformed, preparing for battle. The ninja 'bot sighed and silently prayed that she wouldn't come out.

(Aurora's POV)

Crouched next to a random tree, my patience was wearing thin. I was itching to go and help, but I didn't want to ruin any of their plans. So far, almost everything hasn't gone the way it's supposed to, so what if the dinobots powers are more increased than before? This thought had my stomach churning.

I don't think I'd be able to forgive myself if anything happened to my friends.

A sudden roar brought me out of my thoughts as I jolted in surprise. Hearing the noises of battle not too far away, a wicked grin spread across my face. Unable to help, eh?

Sprinting as fast as I could, and almost tripping over a few times, I made it out of the forest and saw that they were all merely a hundred yards away from me. Inhaling deeply, I continued to run towards them.

I grew tired of dubbing them 'machines' or 'dinosaur robots' so I decided to call each of them by name to make it easier for myself so I won't go insane.

Just as I reached them I saw Bulkhead tackle Snarl, the triceratops, full on, knocking the dinobot over. He then delivered a polite 'Excuse me!' to Snarl. He then ran over to the pteranodon, swoop, who was trying to scorch Optimus, and grabbed his tail. Swoop squirmed as Bulkhead slammed him into the ground. Hard.

"Sorry, my bad!" He then exclaimed, somewhat sarcastically. Prime walked up to him with a smile on his face.

"Thanks. And welcome back, big guy." He said. Prowl came up between the two, his own half smile visible.

"I was just doing what I do." Bulkhead sheepishly replied. He went to pat Prowl on the back, but use a bit too much pressure and sent the ninja tumbling to the ground. I had to stifle a small laugh at that.

"Uhh, I hate to break up the love fest…" I heard Bumblebee call, I glanced over to him and my eyes widened in remembrance, "BUT WE'RE GETTING THE TAR KICKED OUT OF US HERE!"

Prowl stood up and the three Autobots gasped. Ratchet and Bumblebee were only inches away from falling into the tar-pit, the former using his electronic magnets to hold up a piece of metal alloy and attempting to push back the blasts of fire being sent directly at them by now all three dinobots.

However, unlike in the cartoon, the backs of their pedes were slipping off of the edge, and in a desperate act to save them I narrowed my eyes and used my powers to gently push them forward and kept a protective shield there until Bulkhead threw all three dinobots into the tar pits, which he was currently in the middle of.

I didn't even have time to acknowledge Prowls stern look as I marvelled at the fact that I still hadn't felt even the slightest twinge of pain as I had formerly expected.

I willed the shield to fade away once Grimlock impacted with the tar and the three breathed fire at it in hopes of escaping, only for them to sink in deeper. All three roared in aggravation until they finally became paralyzed and silenced.

I went over to the Autobots, who were discussing what to do with the dinobots, and attempted to slink past them all.

Apparently that all went to shit when one, probably Optimus, cleared his throat as a strong indication for me to stop. A small, impish smile crawled onto my face as I turned and saw three unamused faces. Bulkhead and Bumblebee were silently congratulating me with obvious gestures. Optimus was the first to speak.

"Aurora…." Though I immediately halted him.

"Woah, big guy, I don't need a lecture and have, somewhat, paid the price for my actions." I paused to let it sink in, "However, when using my telekinesis this time around I felt no pain whatsoever, and no one else was harmed, so it's all good." Finishing with a smug smile of my face, the Prime seemed lost for words.

"I…You…Ugh" He ran a hand down his face "…Fine, but the next time you go against rules, especially safety ones, I will have a word with you. He said sternly. Ratchet seemed to agree with this. Feeling like a child caught stealing from the cookie jar, I slowly nodded and looked at the dirt and kicked it up with my foot.

It looked as if I was going to have to, yet again, face Prowls wrath.

(…..Time Skip…..)

"I can't thank you enough" Isaac said for the 50th time in a row. Behind him was the dinobots, still in the now hardened tar, which was inside of a square forcefield type thingy.

"And again, my apologies for the, um, glitch in their programming." He clasped his hands together nervously.

"You call breathing fire a glitch?!" Ratchet yelled, making the Professor wince back slightly in fear. I smirked in amusement from my place in front of Prime.

"I suppose I was overly inspired by you Autobots and your powers, I should be more careful when I try to reverse engineer alien technology."

"So what will you do with them?" Prowl then asked, pointing towards the dinobots. Sumdac shrugged.

"Keep them in the energy cage for now, then melt them down first thing in the morning."

Prowl seemed deeply unsettled by this. "Melt them?" The surprise in his voice made my heart feel heavy for reasons unknown to me. It also made me shiver as the recent events involving Meltdown flashed through my head. I was just lucky that he was currently rotting in a high security prison.

"After all they are still just mindless machines." Isaac waved him off dismissively. Prowl leaned back slightly.

"But I-I sensed something, a life force, a-a spark" He replied, looking up at the somewhat magnificent creatures. "What if they are more than just mindless machines?"

"That's an awfully big 'what if?' Prowl. But I think Professor Sumdac is right, these things are far too dangerous." He paused for a moment "Come on Autobots, let's roll!"

He transformed, along with the other three and started driving back to base, Sumdac waving them off, but Prowl paused and glanced at the dinobots a final time before transforming and waiting for me to climb on.

We were halfway back to base and the silence was wearing me down.

"Whats on your mind, Prowl?" I asked, surprisingly softly. A second after he slowed down considerably.

"There are two things actually. One of them is why you were foolish enough to go against your orders to remain safe and run into a potentially dangerous battle." He said this with spitefulness on the edge of his tongue, and I recoiled back a bit in shame.

"The other thing is why Sumdac would melt down such amazing creatures, who have the intelligence to think for themselves. It's not right just letting him destroy them." I pretended to think about this for a second.

"Well, why don't we set them free?" I suggested, hoping that this would go to plan.

"Hm, it's not a bad idea. But where to? And how will we set them free?"

"I'll let you decide that." I smirked.

(…..Time Skip…..)

"Bulkhead, remember what you're going to do?"

"Of course, Prowl. First, smash through the security and break the tar so that each dinobot will be free, and then carry them one by one onto this boat."

"Wow, I'm impressed. You actually managed to remember something longer than 5 words."

"Oh shut up Aurora."

I snickered.

Right now I was dying to fall back asleep. It was currently 4:30 in the morning, the sky had an orange hue as the sun continued to rise and the clouds were scattered about, allowing random rays of sunshine to touch the land.

Luckily, the location of the dinobots was oddly near the port aswell as the forest from which I had to 'hide' in yesterday.

My eyes drooped slightly but I forced them to remain open as I slumped against the side of the wall on the boat me and Prowl were currently waiting on.

"You know, you can rest if you want." Prowl suggested softly. I glanced up at him through hazy eyes and shrugged half-heartedly.

"I'm fine, nothing mini secretive adventure can't handle." As if my words were turning against me I yawned and ended up tilting so much that I was now leaning on Prowls leg. He chuckled lightly at my actions.

"Can you swim?" He randomly asked. I leaned forward enough so that he could see the eyebrow I had raised at him.

"Yeah, why?"

Without warning he plucked me off of the floor and dropped me off the side of the boat. I managed to take a deep breath before my body made contact with the chilling water. I swam back up, and pushed myself so that my head was now above water. I pushed my hair off of my face and glared up at Prowl, who was smirking triumphantly down at me. I reached over to the ladder which was off the side of the boat and climbed up it, huffing moodily. I had to admit it woke me up but that doesn't mean I enjoyed it.

"Have a nice dive?" Prowl sarcastically asked, watching in amusement as I smoothed my hair out and tucked some of it behind my ear.

"Bitch." I grumbled. This only seemed to make his amusement grow. Just as I was about to retort with a ruder comment the boat shook tremendously and knocked both me and Prowl over. I turned around and nearly jumped at the sight of Swoop, unmoving on his side. Bulkhead, who was standing on the port, smiled at us both sheepishly.

"Sorry."

(…..Time Skip…..)

We were now standing on the edge of the crater on the island, looking down at the dinobots as they dot used to their surroundings. It took a hell of a lot of time to prevent them from jumping, or in Swoops case, flying, off of the boat and then leading them into the crater. Bulkhead kinda had to push Grimlock. Watching him tumble down to the bottom made me laugh.

"They do look kinda happy." Bulkhead admitted. Prowl turned his head to look at him.

"Thanks again, for your help getting them here, and thanks for keeping it a secret from the others." He glanced at me and a smile formed on his long face, his visor slightly tilting upwards. I smiled and nodded in return.

"The Dinobots won't cause any harm here." I added.

"And with a little holographic trickery," Prowl continued, pulling out his Autobot insignia and placing it onto the ground, "no one will even know they're here."

It lit up and made the whole inside of the crater look like a forest, with rich green trees and not a space of the rocky terrain below it in sight. I looked back and saw that another insignia had replaced the missing one on Prowls lower chest.

"Do you really think it's the right thing to do?" Bulkhead questioned. Prowl continued to stare out at the holoform scenery below.

"Just because something is big and lumbering and destructive doesn't mean you give up on it." A smirk made its way onto my face. That was the most backhanded compliment I've ever heard.

"We should head back now." I whispered. They both nodded in agreement and we turned away and headed back towards the boat.

I had forgotten that I was even tired in the first place and remembering why that was I opened my mouth to say a few choice words, but stopped myself when I saw the rare content look on Prowl's face. I might as well memorise that look of complete peacefulness, as you never know the next time it will be spread across his face.

A/N:-Yay, I finished it! *celebrates*

Sorry if it seems a little rushed, and short, but hopefully things will get a lot more interesting for Aurora from here on out *cue evil laugh*

Did you like it? Hate it? Does it need improving? You tell me, please R&R! :D
