Dr-mai/fan-lover: Your idea for a yugioh/transformers crossover is interesting, and I am considering it… If I do make a crossover it will (hopefully) be after I finish this story.

Screamer's just a Screamer: It would at that. That's why I have that option. :P

OptimusFanGirl101: I'll try to add in Blitzwing, he's quirky, I like him too.

Mulan 2: Nice quotes, and she does get a new paint job, suggested to me by Pachysam. I do mention that he owes his life to… He he, but not to Sari. Yet.

Bella's Camaro: I have more cliff hangers, but I also have more answers. Enjoy!

Deathtilupart: thank you.

Happyfish: I did update!

Pachysam: Yep, she is! And yes, they did. I'm choosing the paint job you suggested.

THANK YOU DEATHTILUPART!! For without who's help I would be woefully be behind in chapters.

After Steven haltingly told Sari that her key wouldn't work, he shuttered and opened his optics. Instead of being in the realistic battleground, he was in a starscape. Steven wondered where he was, and, as if in answer, a deep, gentle voice said "Welcome young techno organic."

"Where am I? Who are you?" Steven asked curiously, "How did you know I'm a techno organic?"

"You are in between. You know how you got here, you must only remember. It is fresh in you memory core. As to how I know you are techno organic. Look at yourself and you will see it is quite plain." The voice answered back.

Steven thought back on what had happened to him last and replied quietly "The last thing I remember is telling my friend that something would not work in trying to save me. In between what exactly? And who are you, you didn't answer that question." Steven looked down at himself and registered with shock that his body was split in half lengthwise. On his right side he was organic; on the left he was mechanical. Even more disconcerting was the fact that he could see the starscape behind his body.

"You are in between life and death. One way leads to peace, the other, pain, suffering, but perhaps more happiness. I am Primus." Primus answered.

"Do I have a choice as to which path I go?" Steven asked.

"There is always a choice. The moment you say you do not have a choice you have chosen not to choose." Primus answered.

Sari and Kup walked too Steven's bunk, noticing that he was asleep and in robot mode. Sari sat down next to him on one side, and gently took one of his servos in both of hers. She remembered that Wrench said that he would likely recover, and in a couple of days, but she wanted to make groundless herself, certain worries in her mind.

Kup watched Sari silently until he felt a polite tap on his shoulder. He looked over it and came to a startled attention and was about to inform Sari that the Autobot Supreme Leader (a/n don't blame me that's his title) was gracing them with his presence when Ultra Magnus shook his head silently and nodded slightly to her. Kup was astonished to see that Sari had placed something in Steven's spark chamber and both were glowing slightly. Ultra Magnus gestured towards the door and both ancient warriors departed.

Optimus and the others were having some down time. The Decepticons weren't causing havoc, their human adversaries were safely imprisoned and no other disasters were occurring so they were having a bit of a break. They all missed Sari a lot and were getting worried that they hadn't received so much as a message about Sari an several days.

Bumblebee and Prowl were watching the monitors when, a message came in from Teletran one from Cybertron. Bumblebee went to get Optimus and Prowl tentatively answered the call. Optimus came into the room and saw Ultra Magnus, and for some reason Kup, on the screen. "Optimus Prime, could you please assemble your team, this affects all of you I believe." After doing as instructed and Bulkhead and Ratchet were in the room as well, Ultra Magnus continued "Kup is Sari's instructor. He will tell you what happened."

Kup moved forwards a little and told them "Sari and a second recruit, by the name of Steven (Prowl started at the second name, a look of shock flitting across his normally calm features) were attacked by two Decepticons by the names of Lockdown and Swindle. (All five bots scowled at the mention of those two particular 'Cons) Sari is fine, but Steven is still recovering from injuries received." Kup was wondering why Ultra Magnus wanted him to tell this group of (mostly) young bots what happened to two of his recruits until he noticed the way that they had reacted to the news. He was wondering how a youngling, hardly not a protoform any more, could have ended up on a front line organic planet. He didn't mind organics, he owed his life to one, but he still was curious.

"How is Steven?" Prowl asked, and odd note in his voice, "He is like Sari, so I doubt many aside from Ratchet could help him, unless Sari used her key."

"She did, but he is still recovering from injuries received. I believe his… Unique state is the reason why Sari's key did not heal him completely." Ultra Magnus answered. Kup started in surprise, / some ability that the young femme had could heal spark injuries completely?!/ He thought frantically /if so why is she not being trained as a medic, and how in Primus's name did she ever end up on such a dangerous planet? /
