Chapter 6

The holographic MECH soldier soon "walked" out and disappeared. A certain red car then drove away.

Knockout knew he couldn't take these guys out on his own; as much as he hated it, he would have to help the Autobots with this. They did save Breakdown after all and one of the rules of the Cybertronian Code of Interplanetary Conflict was if somebody did a favor for an enemy, they would have to have a favor done for them in return. He knew the Autobots were not going to trust him so he'd have to find some way to explain it and gain their trust.

Meanwhile, back at the Autobot base, both Optimus Primes were briefing their teams on what would have to be done.

"It will be different than what we are all used to but how much different I can not say." Movie Optimus said. "I will let my counterpart lead the mission since his team knows more about this 'MECH' than we do."

"Oh, you don't know everything about us, Optimus Prime." A mysterious voice said.

All of the Autobots turned around to see a video projection of Silas on one of the main computers, almost as though he was using Skype (which wasn't the case).

"Silas" Bulkhead growled.

"What have you done with my sparkmate?" Sideways demanded to know this answer, letting anger overtake him from that point until the end of the video message that had been sent to the Autobots in that universe. "That is, if you do have her."

"Nothing as of this moment-Sideways, is it?" Silas asked.

"Yes but what does that matter?" the ex-Decepticon retorted.

"As I was saying" the head of MECH continued "Your 'Peaches' as you call her is fine for right now but if you don't get to her before 11:00 near these coordinates"-at this point he gave them (they're not being revealed in story, sorry)- you're not going to have a lot of luck rescuing her."

"We will be there." Movie Arcee declared. "You just wait and see."

The video ended and Prime Ratchet started working on upgrading a new firewall to prevent future intrusions like that one.

"He's not going to get all of us there." Bulkhead pointed out.

"True." The Optimus Prime that resided in this universe said. 'Both Ratchets will remain with the children while the rest of us leave."

"That is just what I was thinking." Movie Optimus Prime had to smile despite the seriousness of this situation.

Both leaders then said together "Autobots transform and roll out!"

And everyone else did so, leaving both medics to watch the kids.

"We had to get stuck on 'baby-sitting' duty." Movie Ratchet muttered angrily.

"My sentiments exactly, counterpart." the other medic replied...

Sideways was cursing MECH as he drove along the road behind the Autobots. He was a bit surprised when somebody shouted at him, in Cybertronian, to stop. The blue colored neutral did so and transformed to robot mode.

"Sideways, what are you doing?" Movie Arcee panicked.

A red car soon came to a stop and transformed into none other than a Decepticon from this universe.

"Autobots, hold your fire." TFP Optimus said. "He can not take all of us at once."

Sideways asked "What do you want and have you seen my sparkmate? She's a little bit taller than I am, is orange all over except for her hands and lower legs which are red and is an Autobot."

"Yes, I've seen her." Knockout replied, very surprised and yet at the same time worried. "She'll suffer worse than what she did to me if you don't hurry."

He then introduced himself to the newcomers and explained what he had seen. "The only reason I'm giving you this information and helping you is because you saved Breakdown and I need to return the favor. Also, I need to beat this 'Peaches' as you call her the next time she encounters me in battle."

"What do you think counterpart?" TFP Optimus asked.

Movie Optimus said "I believe he should be allowed to form a temporary alliance with us."

"All right, as long as you don't regret this later..." Prime Arcee muttered.

They soon transformed into vehicle mode, following Knockout to Peaches' location. The time was now 10:30 and they needed to get there fast but even so, Sideways found time to have conversation with Knockout.

"So, Peaches is one of the only reasons why you changed sides?" the red 'Con asked, not comprehending how this could happen.

"Yes; she's the main reason, the others being that we found a human girl and a dog and decided to adopt them as our own." Sideways explained Peaches' whole story, leaving out details about NEST base itself. "We also have a beautiful sparkling at home as well and she doesn't even know that her older but smaller sister is different than she is but I do plan to explain everything to her when she is old enough."

Needless to say, Sideways also told Knockout that he would probably have to wait a long time before he found found the girl of his dreams but the latter was fine with that. He didn't have THAT much of a crush on Peaches, just a really small one.

Soon they had arrived. It was 10:51, and time to get Peaches out of there ASAP. Everyone was prepared, or at least thought they were, but the Movie Autobots did not know what to expect.

Author's note: Yeah, I finished this early but I hope to get the next one done in between schoolwork, chores and taking care of annoying younger siblings. XD.
