Jack and Bumblebee walked back over to Optimus in total silence, neither of them willing to speak to the other at that present moment in time. They met with Optimus and Ratchet, the latter of which was crouched over Arcee and working furiously on repairing what he could on the spot.

"Bumblebee, Riptide, what happened?" Optimus asked them both, and Jack shot Bumblebee a quick glance.

"Rosestorm fled once I joined Riptide, we don't know how or where" Bee told his commander and Optimus nodded, and it made Jack's stomach churn that Optimus seemed to know that Bee was lying.

Even worse was that Jack was positive he knew why.

"How is Arcee?" Bumblebee asked now genuine about what he felt, and Jack hated that he had to refrain himself from asking the same question.

Riptide hadn't met Arcee yet, even if Jack did.

"I can save her, but she will be in stasis for at least a week" Ratchet grunted and Optimus crouched down to lift her gently, her legs now slightly better attached to the rest of her.

One week…seven days…

Jack's stomach did another flip as the ground bridge was opened and they travelled back to the base, Bumblebee quickly ushered Raff and Miko from the room as Arcee was brought in.

Jack kind of wish someone would usher him from the room.

Bumblebee seemed to sense his discomfort and pain and pushed him from the room and towards the back of the base.

"Your sharing a room with me for recharge" Bee ordered rather told Jack who nodded numbly as Bee showed him the way to their shared room.

"Jack, you need to calm down" Bee informed him sternly and he nodded blankly at the yellow bot.

"I know, but I also need to work out what Rosestorm did…ever seen anything like what she did before?" Jack asked trying to steer the conversation away from Arcee, even if she hadn't been mentioned, it made Jack's new insides twist when he thought about it.

"Not personally, but I've heard of something like it" Bumblebee informed him and he nodded, sitting on the metal recharge berth that Bee had shown him.

"Really? What was it?" Jack asked and Bumblebee sat on the berth opposite him.

"A space rift, it's supposed to be a one in a billion ability. According to Cybertronian legend the original Primes had a secret modification that allowed them to transport themselves wherever they pleased…there are only three known accounts of it on record" Bumblebee explained recalling the legend.

"Wait…original primes?" Jack asked and Bumblebee nodded.

"Primus created thirteen primes, and these thirteen primes created the rest of the Cybertronian race. These thirteen primes each had a unique ability, one being teleportation or something similar to what we saw Rosestorm do" Bumblebee told the uninformed human-turned-mech.

"So how did Rosestorm get that ability? Or better yet, how did MECH?" Jack questioned and Bumblebee frowned.

"What does MECH have to do with Rosestorm?" He frowned, his mind trying to figure out where MECH came into this and Jack made a groaning noise.

"I forgot you didn't know, MECH turned me and Sasha into Riptide and Rosestorm" Jack told the scout who looked shocked and absolutely infuriated at the same time.

"MECH? That's why…" Bumblebee asked and Jack nodded, only a slight inclination of the head to indicate that Bumblebee's questioned had been answered.

"But…does that mean Rosestorm's body is Cybertronian?" Jack asked and Bumblebee frowned, at least Jack presumed he was frowning, he was used to the Autobots facial expressions from a distance, but from such close quarters it was slightly strange.

"I…think it does" Bumblebee murmured looked over Jack, trying to find any tell-tale signs that he is in fact made of a Cybertronian alloy.

"Where would MECH get…oh god…" Jack muttered and Bumblebee stared at him, the realisation dawning on him to.

"My body…it's…" Jack muttered looking at himself in disgust.

"Dead Cybertronian parts" Bumblebee whispered, practically to himself, as they both stared at Jacks body.

Rosestorm stood before Megatron with a solemn face, she had explained the situation and Megatron had been pleased, he had been even more pleased about her newfound ability. Even if she didn't know how to use it.

"It just happened, I just wanted to get back to the ship and suddenly I'm on the ship" She had explained and Megatron had nodded thoughtfully.

"We will simply have to hone the skill, train it" Knockout had informed her, his eyes roaming as they always did when he addressed her.

"Yes, but the question still remains as to how we will train it. It's an incredibly rare ability…what methods of training do we use?" Arachnid asked Megatron with a frown, there was no way to predict how the ability would mature or what it would develop into.

There is very little knowledge on the ability's of the primes, so there literally was no way of knowing what they should or shouldn't do.

"I will trust your judgement Arachnid" Megatron replied and Rosestorm wanted to groan, now she had to spend even more time with the grouchy femme.

Who obviously wanted Megatrons job.

"You and Soundwave will be the best choices for her training" Megatron added with a snide smile and Rosestorm frowned, glancing over at the silent masked mech.

Great…I get trained by the PMS femme and the creepy mech

Rosestorm however said nothing, and allowed her facial features to remained lax and calm. She refused to allow Soundwave or Arachnid the satisfaction of getting her to react, although Arachnid was immediately disgruntled with having to work with Soundwave.

According to some of the lower, less important Decepticons, she and Soundwave had collided a few times. One of those times being when Megatron was thought to be dead, he wasn't. At least, not for long anyway.

Hey guys! Guess what!

My laptop works again! WOOHOOO! As we speak I am typing numerous chapters for numerous unpublished stories because I really hate saving my work on the family PC.

Foxbear, Ah thanks for the advice, and I'm glad I'm not throwing anyone out of character, I really hate reading stories where everyone is out of character.

JazzGirl221, yay! I love long reviews! And alas, I to know girls like Sasha. However I put their behaviour down to jealously of my awesomeness and fear of my intelligence. It makes me feel better that way.

SlipknotGhidorah, Ah I think everyone is curious, including myself, I know where the story is going…but getting there? God that's another thing entirely.

Bio Team2, THAAAAAAAANKS.

Sonicxjones, oh yes, they will be returning soon, and I mentioned them in this chapter so nobody forgets that they are indeed involved here.

Lionfire42, ah you don't need to feel bad! I'm just glad you enjoy the story! Also, Bee has been portrayed as a lot more immature than I see him…so I matured him just a tiny bit, besides, who knows what he's like behind closed doors?

Read and Review guys.

Tulip Out.
