A month had passed no communication with Soundwave or any decepticons.
Grace looked up at optimus, she was sitting there watching him. His facial expressions were troubling to her, and every one else around them. Optimus looked down at her. All she heard was praise to Bumblebee behind Optimus. "Whats wrong Optimus?" She gently kicked his foot to get his attention.
Optimus looked down at her, "Since we know we can revive Cybertron. We need to leave as soon as possible to revive it," Ratchet walked up and informed Optimus, "We have to leave our humans behind,"
Optimus looked more troubled. He knew what she would try to do. Search for Soundwave, he leaned down gently picking her up in his hands. "I need to talk to you," He walked towards the edge of the base,
Grace looked up at him and nodded, "Okay Optimus,"
Optimus sat down and looked at her, "You are coming with me, I do not want you running off to find the decepticons. Its too dangerous to keep you on earth," He sighed closing his eyes,
Grace looked at him, "Wait... Going where? Cybertron?"
Optimus hesitated then nodded, "Yes... I have a suit you are going to wear to keep you safe while on the surface."
Grace nodded, "Okay," She sat on his hands swinging her legs over the edge,
Hours later
Optimus walked aboard the Nemesis, in a previous battle they had taken the ship with Megatron long since had been dead. Optimus stood in the flight deck, "Set a course to Cybertron," He walked to a control panel.
Optimus was standing on the front bases of Cybertron, it was nothing but cold and bare from the war. No sign of life was any where but his own. 3 loud bangs came from his chest plates and he opened them quickly, "Seriously, its very cramped in there." Grace climbed out onto Optimus' hand as he closed his chest plates with a chuckle.
She grumbled then looked around, "What happened to it... It...feels..."
Optimus nodded, "I know... But this is only what it looks like after war," He pointed towards a tall building shining with bright golds and whites, "That is what it will look like after, young one."
Grace smiled under need the glass keeping the air in the suit. "..wow.."
Optimus smiled, "I know you'll like it here but I need to in the hall of records to get information with me."
Grace grinned stupidly and nodded then frowned looking down starting to go into a flash back,

FLASHBACK TIEEEEEEEEEM!
Grace sat up in her parents house. The walls were covered in old wall paper that had been peeling off. The floor was rotted slightly. The bed she was on was nothing more then a mattress with a sheet with an old quilt. Her pillow was just a pillow off the couch. She looked around quickly then stood and ran into the front room. No one was there but a burning couch, she searched and started crying holding her face. Laying before her were 3 bodies. 3 dead, non moving burning bodies. The smell was horrible. Her pajama dress blew slightly from the heat trying to pour away. Grace looked up and her eyes widened in horror. 3 robots, 3 faceless robots bearing the same symbol on their arms and chest. She grabbed a board of wood and threw it at them. "Get out of here!" She screamed in sorrow and anger,
"Get away!" she threw a lamp at the faceless one,
It looked down at her, having felt the lamp shatter against its leg.
Grace backed up slowly about to bolt into a run, but a purple cable wrapped around her waist and jerked her body making her scream. It pulled her toward its face, a glass. Shapeless face. It looked at her curiously seeing the tears reaching down her face. "Human, name."
She looked at him still sobbing, "I.." she sniffed coughing, "I... don't... understand,"
It growled, "What is your name human!" it shook her once again,
"G...G..Grace," she cried harder couching,
Soundwave hissed then threw her into a window and walked away,
Grace crawled out gasping and gaging blood spilliing everywhere from her throat, glass cuts covering her arms and face. Small pieces of it in her hair.
Soundwaves eyes widened he walked over to study her but the autobots ran through from a ground-bridge portal vortex,
Grace looked up seeing more of the robots then passed out in a pool of blood,

"GRACE!" Optimus shook her gently once more,
She gasped waking up and looked at him, "W..What."
Optimus frowned, "You werent responding, Are you alright?"
She nodded and curled up on to his shoulder,
Optimus frowned, "Alright then," he continued on,
