Well now I have finally returned. To everyone who is reading and following my Transformers Fanfics, I am sorry for being gone for so long.

My stupid computer broke down and it lost all the files placed on it. It took several long months to find a way to retrieve them all. But I finally did. In all that time, I came up with new ideas and found out many new things.

Out of the time that this story has been on Hiatus, I apologize for that and hope that no one thought I just gave up on it.

I really love this story and now want to continue it now that I have my computer and all my files back. And now without further ado and after nearly a year long wait.

IT IS TIME FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER OF WORLDS OF CHANGE!

Adri POV

Andrew and Jay just sat there, staring at me and Jay had his mouth wide open. "You want us to do WHAT?!" They both trying to comprehend what I had just said. "You want us to try and break into the Hoover Dam. The one where Sector Seven use to be and where they once housed the Allspark and Megatron."

I looked at them both and simply said it again. "We're going to be breaking into the Hoover Dam. It's as simple as that." Andrew stood up and walked over to the window. He sat in a chair and looked at me and Jay. He crossed his arms and shook his head. "Adri, this is serious! This isn't something easy like they show on TV. We won't be able to do it."

I layed back on the bed and smiled, moving my arms behind my head and looked up at the ceiling. "Yeah we will, cause I know some people who can help." Jay looked at me with a bit of a curious and confused. "You know people?! What people?!" I just gave a little laugh and looked at him with a serious look. "Don't worry about it."

Andrew didn't know what to make of all this so he seemed to just say what was on his mind. "So let's just say we make it to the dam. How are we going to make it down inside there? How are we even sure that we are in the time period after what took place at Mission City?"

I sighed, not wanting to have to explain everything. "First of all, this shard is proof enough to show that the Allspark has already been destroyed in Mission City. Second of all, if we make our way to Hoover Dam, we are bound to run into some friends of mine that are near there."

Andrew was now curious about what people I was talking about. "Ok, explain to us now. What 'friends' are you talking about?" I sat up and moved to the edge of the bed. "Look, I have friends that I contacted earlier before we left my house. I met the two of them over a Transformers fan site and they also have a replica of the Allspark shard. When I contacted them, they still knew all about Transformers."

Jay looked on, slightly surprised and stood up, looking at me in disbelief. "Are you serious?! There are other people that still know about Transformers?!" I nodded and gave a smile. "Yes. And they happen to live near the Hoover Dam. They contacted me a few days ago about a rumour going through the Transformers franchise about there still being something left of Sector Seven in the Dam and that they still had another Cyberonian being held inside the Dam in secret."

Andrew was intruigued by this and got up, walking over to the bed and sitting down. "So what your saying is that we're going there because of a rumor. Tell us, if you know, who is the Cybertronian?" I gave a small smile. "Salvage."

Jay opened his mouth wide. "S-Salvage?! As in the one that transforms into the GMC Silverado? Dude, he's like a smaller version of Ironhide!"

I felt my phone vibrate and got it out looking at it. I sighed and got up from the bed and walked over to the door, making sure it was locked tight. I then walked back to the beds and stood in front of the two of them. I crossed my arms and smiled. "My friends... they just made it into the Hoover Dam and have confirmed..." I showed them a picture I had just been sent on my phone. "It's Salvage!"

They both looked at the picture and were completely shocked. "No way, how did they get into the Dam to get a picture like that?!" I just shut off my phone and jumped onto the bed. "They have their ways..."

I then turned to Jay and kicked his butt, literally off the bed. "Now go to sleep. Don't forget our flight leaves at 9 tomorrow morning." Andrew then got into the other bed and Jay slept on a cot on the floor.

I didn't go to sleep until late that night because I still couldn't believe all the things that had just happened in the last 24 hours. At this time last night, I had been in my own bed, waiting for the next day to come, and now here I am, running for my life. I kept the shard around my neck and went to sleep.

The next morning, I was awoken by the sound of the TV being on nearly full blast. I turned over in bed and I saw that Jay and Andrew were already awake. I saw that they both had their eyes glued to the screen so I sat up and looked at the screen. They were watching the early morning news.

I looked at the screen and my eyes opened wide at the headlines. It said 'Breaking News: Exposure in the Destruction of the Hoover Dam and the Arrest of Two Two Teenage Individuals'. I looked at the screen and I instantly recognized the faces of the two of them. "No way... Star Rider and Xield were caught?!"

Jay and Andrew got scared cause they hadn't known that I had woken up. They had turned around so fast and Jay had fallen on the floor. Andrew looked at me and blinked. "Are those two the friends you were talking about?"

I kept my eyes on the screen and nodded. "Yeah... their designations are Star Rider and Xield." I quickly got out of bed and grabbed my bag and headed for the door. Andrew and Jay looked at me, not knowing what I was doing. I turned and looked at them with a serious, yet a bit of a panicked expression. "We have to go now! The sooner we get to Nevada, the sooner we can help those two. They are our comrades. Come on Shroud, Raider. Let's go!"

Jay and Andrew nodded, gathering up their stuff and we left the Motel. We quickly made our way to the airport and caught our flight. The entire flight, I remainded silent and stared out the window. I just couldn't believe that those two had been caught.

Star Rider, aka Avery Summers, and Xield, aka Evan Matthews were step sibilings that I had met a couple of years ago at the premeire of the Second Transformers Movie. We had quickly become friends and I constantly kept in touch with them. I had been jealous when they had shown me a replica of the Allspark shard they had.

Now that I thought about, it looked so much more real than any others that I had seen. It looked just like the one around my neck. I looked at the shard and then back out the window, hoping that we would be landing soon.

When we landed, We immediately went straight for the direction of the Hoover Dam to find out the details of what happened the night before. I wanted to see for myself about what was going on. If we were going to make it inside to get to Salvage, we were going to need to get past the guards and the security.

When we got to the Dam, we made plans. It seems that I had been made team leader and I was the one calling the shots. I had to think of a way to get inside so I tried to remember all of the details from the movie. First I thought of the hatch that they had brought Bumblebee in through. I then thought of the place that Megatron had escaped from. When we got to the site, we found that it was easier than I thought it would be.

We came to the main section where Sector Seven had been located and there was a large fraggin hole in the wall of the Dam. It was covered by a tarp and their were guards everywhere but people were still coming and going through the dam. I was actually quite surprised by the amount of damage that Star Rider and Xield were able to do to get in. And then I sighed, thinking, so that's how they got caught.

The dam had more guards around the area then I thought they would have and I had to find a way in and quick. We had to get to Salvage and get contact with the other Autobots.

We waited at the Dam for a few hours, tring to figure out what we were gonna do. I was leaning over the edge of the dam and looking down, seeing where Frenzy had fallen during the first movie. I looked up at the sky and saw that it was starting to get later and later. I turned around and was about to talk to Andrew and Jay when I saw just Andrew standing there.

I walked up to Andrew and straight up asked. "Where'd Jay go?" Andrew turned around and just shrugged. "He said he had to got to the bathroom." I facepalmed and then looked at Andrew. "Why didn't you tell me?! We can't let him go off on his own! We have to go find him now."

Andrew and I then headed down the top of the dam towards where the bathrooms were. We looked for Jay but couldn't find him. We headed back up to the road and looked around. I then felt my phone vibrate and took it out, looking at the message. It was from Star Rider. 'Arura, look at the Dam for two friends of ours that Xield and I met. They should be really easy to spot. They are more than meets the eye...' I looked at the message and stared on in confusion. What do they mean by two friends of their? More than meets the eye... She doesn't mean...

I looked up at Andrew and nearly yelled. "We gotta find Jay, now!" Andrew looked at me in total confusion and I just simply explained. "We have to find some 'friends'..." He didn't ask anymore questions and we headed down the road, looking for Jay. After looking for about twenty minutes, we finally found Jay.

Jay was standing next to a jeep and we walked over to him. I whacked him on the head and yelled at him. "Where the hell have you been Shroud?! We've been looking all over for you!" I then noticed the jeep lurch forward. I looked at it oddly and then turned my attention back to Jay. Jay just rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry Arura, Raider. I was just looking at something." Andrew walked up to Jay and shook his head. "You know Arura is the team leader so both you and I have to listen to her Shroud."

All of a sudden, we heard a robotic male voice come from the jeep. "Arura? Raider and Shroud?" I immediately jumped back in shock and surprise. "What the frag?!" I looked down at the Jeep and then I gave a little sigh when I noticed something familiar. On the front grill was an Autobot symbol. I walked around the jeep and leaned inside on the driver's side. I spoke calmly, even though I was freaking out inside. "Yes, I'm Arura. And those two are Shroud and Raider. May I ask who you are?"

The Jeep shifted a little on it's axels and then we heard the voice once again, coming from the radio. "I'm happy to have found you three. Star Rider and Xield went missing last night and they contacted me, telling me to wait for three people with the designations: Arura, Shroud and Raider. Oh, by the way, I'm Hound."

I opened my eyes wide in excitement. "Hound?! As in the Hound from the Autobots?!" I smiled wide and leaned in closer. "It's nice to meet ya Hound. So you said that Star Rider and Xield told you to wait for us. I'm glad they did."

Hound popped his doors open and spoke through the radio again. "Hop in you three. I'll take us somewhere better to talk." I looked at the other two and then we all got into the Jeep. I sat in the driver's seat while Andrew sat next to me and Jay half sat in the back. Hound then drove off.

We drove for a while and made our way out to a house out in the middle of nowhere. It was night when we got there. The house was a little farm with a pasture and what seemed to be a large hanger out behind it. Hound drove up to the hanger and the doors opened up automatically. As Hound drove in, he called out. "Trailbreaker, Crosswise, Evac! I'm back and I brought the three fleshlings!"

We all exited Hound and then he proceeded to transform. We watched in awe as this was the first time that we had ever seen it happen in person. It looked so cool. We then turned and saw an expensive sports car, an SUV, and a helicoptor. I thought right away from the names that Hound had said. "Trailbreaker... Crosswise... Evac..."

All three of them then transformed. Hound stepped forward and introduced us, using our designations. "So guys, this is Arura, Shroud and Raider. Arura is friends with Star Rider and Xield." Trailbreaker looked down at the three of us and gave a little chuckle. "So these three younglings made it out here and are going to be working with us?"

Crosswise and Evac stood next to each other and looked down on us. Crosswise bent down and looked at me. "Hey, this one has a shard of the Allspark." Evac looked down and I think he scanned me. "Hey, he's right. Just like Star Rider has one."

I looked up at them and then down at the shard. "So this is real. I knew it." I looked up at them and then blinked. "Wait, so Star Rider's shard is real too?" Hound looked down and nodded. "Yes, she has one just like yours. That's what drew us to her and Xield."

Jay looked up at them and went right ahead asking a question. "What do you mean work with you?" I then realized that they had said that we had come here to work with them. What the slag were they talking about? I was about to ask the same question when Hound transformed back into a Jeep. The others then all transformed and stayed quiet.

Hound spoke out quietly through his radio. "Get down and hide. We got some fleshies coming this way." We all immediately made our way to the back of the hanger where Evac was and hid behind him. We saw lights coming up to the doors of the hanger and stay there for several seconds before moving on. Everything was quiet for several minutes and then Trailbeaker spoke out. "All clear!"

We all came out from behind Evac and looked over at Hound. I was the one to voice what all of us were thinking. "Hound, what's going of and why do you need us to work with you?" Hound stayed silent for a few moments and then transformed back into his bipedal state. "We need the help of you 5 humans."

I looked at them like everything that was happening was complete craziness. "Us? Help you? How would us humans be able to do that?" Trailbreaker came up behind me and picked me up in his hand. He looked at me, eye to optic. He then spoke and his voice was kinda loud to how close I was to him. "Arura, you and the other humans that have Cybetronian designations. You do not know how real they are. The names, Arura, aka Arurious, Raider, Shroud, Star Rider, and Xield were all very real Cybertronians who lived long ago on Cybertron during the war."

We all just looked at them with shocked looks. I was the one to voice my thoughts first. "They are real?! They all lived on Cybertron in real life?!" Evac nodded. "Yes. I personally knew Raider and Star Rider myself. They were both seekers-" Andrew finished what Evac had been saying. "That served under Air Commander Starscream before the war. They were some of the only seekers to survive the battle of Tyger Pax."

Evac looked down at Andrew and his optics opened wide in what appeared to be surprise. "Y-Yes, that is exactly it. How did you know that?" Andrew was looking up at Evac and seemed to be a bit different. "Since I have it committed to memory for myself."

Thank you very much for reading it and I apologize again for such a long wait. I am getting started on the next chapter and hope to post in in the next week or two.
