A/N: Sorry for the long update, but I bring you this chappy, as well as a heads up I am putting up a Crossover story with Transformers Prime and Sword Art Online called Ascend so if you wanna check it out I'd appreciate it, now on with the story!

Chapter 3-Odyssey's Beginning Part 3

Maeveen's POV

I stared at my bedroom ceiling, wearing my white tank top and blue pajama pants. I had come home with Miko and Bulkhead as the Prime had to attend to things.

Guardian my ass!

I should've known something like this would happen, he of course had to be my "guardian". That stuck up, son of a RAHHHH! I punched the wall enraged at the situation, while putting a hole in it.

Then an idea came to me, maybe, just maybe if I can peel back enough layers from his stoic covering I may find a Demon underneath all that, goodness. After all, everyone has a dark side, right? As well, Demons can grant living people access to there Demonic persona's so could it work with Cybertronians.

I guess I should also mention Demons have powers, but I thought that was evident by the human guise. But with that and the accessing the Persona's we can also create and control fire, change our size and we have enhanced strength and speed.

But anyways, if I was right then I could bring out his Persona. This got me curious what kind of Demon he would be, of course he would never end up in Hades with what he has now but maybe I can twist him a little.

I sat up in bed, a wicked smile adorning my face, the room was dark as Miko was asleep in her bed. But in the darkness it was clear to see my white shark toothed smile and my eyes glowing, one glowing pure red, the other only the iris of dark pink in the shape of a 'X' showing.

This was just what I needed, a goal.

I am GOING to unleash the Demonic Persona of Optimus Prime! *Insert Evil Laughter Here*

Next Morning…..

Miko and Bulkhead had gone out before me, around a half an hour later the Prime himself showed up in front of my home. With a wicked smile I grabbed my bag and phone and head out to meet him.

His door opens automatically and I hopped into the passenger seat, he greeted me as we headed off.

"Good morning, Maeveen." A devilish smile crossed my face.

"Morning, Prime."

"You seem happier than the last time I saw you, did something happen?" My smile increased.

"Yeah, guess you could say I had an epiphany." He didn't press on even though I felt him wanting to, but for now I concreted on unleashing his Persona.

You see, a Demon has to be in physical contact with you and if you do it in a single burst it can be painful and noticeable; so for this to work, I have to slowly ebb away his defenses, and slowly bring it out over time. I personal never heard of anyone doing this so, whatever results I get will be just as surprising as it is for me and you.

As we drove on I gauged how much it took to slowly chip away at his Soul, it was taking a lot. By the time we had reached the Base I know I barely scratched the surface. I realized this could take months, maybe even a year or two on the long end.

This was a long term mission, one that would take some time to complete.

Luckily, I am a patient Demon.

As Optimus transformed behind me I noticed right away that danger had entered the Base. A creature that looked like a one eyed robot spider was attacking Ratchet, and it was launching right at him until a blast hit the thing and it fell to the ground.

I looked to see Optimus's arm as a gun before it transformed back. The thing started to get up again before he quickly crushed it underfoot.

"And stay broken." Ratchet proclaimed, "Now what could have caused that?"

"Something I feared, Dark Energon."

That name had a ring to it, I liked it.

"What's Dark Energon?" I asked them, Ratchet seemed to have cautions eyes staring back at me.

"Well Energon is our life source from our creator, Primus. He had a dark brother named Unicron whose anti life force was that of Dark Energon, it is supposed to raise the dead." Ratchet answered my question before turning to Optimus putting the thing in a container.

I walked up to the human area just as the other kids were praising there Guardians. Seemly happy with them, until Optimus caught there attention.

"Autobots, prepare too…" He trailed off as he saw the kids standing near there Guardians and a quick glance at me.

"Roll out?" Arcee finished, that seemed to snap him out of it.

"Remain here, Ratchet I will require your assistance." The medic looked surprised.

"Optimus, guarding is one thing, babysitting is another." She glared at the Prime, the other humans joined me, on the other side of the platform.

"Arcee, this is a simple reconnaissance mission." He challenged.

"Then why do I hear a edge in your voice?"

"Much has changed in the last 48 hours and we must adjust." She rolled her eyes.

"But Ratchet hasn't been in the field since the war." She countered.

Ratchet bellowed, "My pistons may be rusty but my hearing is as sharp as ever."

I giggled to myself, noticing that the kids moved a little further away.

"Ratchet, activate the groundbridge, Arcee you are in charge, we will be out of communication range for some time." She sighed, giving up arguing with the Prime.

While all this happened, I slowly made my way down and closer to the bridge, I didn't want to stay with these losers, this Dark Energon stuff sound interesting and I needed more contact with the Prime to achieve my goal.

Also, since when do I follow orders?

With them distracted and heading through the Bridge, no one noticed as I slipped in, with a wicked smile that could kill.
