Autobot Base -

...It was late at night in the Autobot base, the human children had been all sent home hours ago. Ratchet was still up working late into the early hours of the morning on the disk he had received. Pieces of the code that he had decrypted had only brought up more questions than answers as to the messages contents. Just about over half of the code had been translated but he hadn't be able to figure out the meaning to them yet. He waited impatiently, trying to fit the jumbled mess together to make some kind of sense out of it all. Finally the computer indicated that eighty present of the message was deciphered.

His optics scanned over the message quickly reading what it revealed before shuttering his optics. His optics rescanned the whole thing once more not believing what he was seeing, "It cant be." He said breathlessly. Quickly, he opened a com link, [Optimus, I need you in the control center immediately.]

The tired Prime answered in a slurred voice, most likely haven ben woken up from recharge, [I'm on my way. Why the urgency Ratchet?]

[You'll see when you get here]

Ratchet replied in a grim tone. It wasn't long before loud footsteps of the large bot echoed in the quiet hallways as Optimus approached the room. Ratchet turned around and instantly got to the point when Optimus entered, "I finally fished decrypting over half of that disk Nightshade gave the humans...If what is says it actually true then the disk holds engineering specs for a space-time vortex generator."

A grim look came over Optimus as he frowned dismay, "Megaton's building a space bridge, if he hasn't already."

They both turned when they heard more footsteps approaching from around the hallway, reveling Bumblebee and Bulkhead. "The sooner he leaves, the better", Bulkhead stated with a grunt. The two bots walked into the room looking just as bit as exhausted as Optimus and him. Apparently no one on base was able to get much recharge after yesterdays events.

"Bulkhead, a space bridge runs in two directions." Optimus pointed out, "Megatron may not be using it to leave Earth but to bring though his conquering army." Realization made Bulkheads optics widen and Bumblebee let out a long low beep in horror.

Ratchets optics grew distant as thought back to their encounter with the overlord hours before, "The main event Megatron referred to?...But the only place Megatron could possibly recruit that many fallen warriors..." He looked to Optimus, optics wide, as he realized just how serious the situation suddenly was.

Optimus nodded, "Cybertron...It holds more than enough fallen warriors to bring back and counter planet Earth. We must somehow locate and destroy the Space bridge before it's to late."

Bulkheads growled to himself some not so kind words about what would happen if any more Decepticons where to touch down on this planet. Bumblebee's looked troubled as he looked from Optimus and Ratchet. He beeped loudly in distress, {We cant let that happen Optimus, but how are we ever going to even find the space bridge?! It could be anywhere!}

Optimus turned to Ratchet, who turned back to the computer, "If I can finish deciphering this code," Ratchet began, "I believe it will tell us where exactly the space bridge is located. Ever since I began deciphering this mess, I've gotten numbers jumbled up here and there that I didn't understand at first but now I think that they could possibly be coordinates...If they're not...We may be risking making it in time to stop Megatron." He glanced back at Optimus.

"How do we even know if this space bridge is real?!" Bulkhead suddenly piped up, "It could be a trap for all we know! This information came from a con after all! Who's to say that the Decepticon warship isn't waiting for us on the other side!"

Optimus turned to Bulkhead and nodded in agreement, "That could possibly be one outcome Bulkhead or the other could be thousand of undead Cybertronians invading this planet leaving its inhabits all but defenseless. If there is the slightest margin that this event could possibly become true then I would rather not take the risk..." Optimus looked toward Ratchet and gestured to the computer. In a serious tone he said, "Ratchet, continue to decipher the code and inform us the instant you have those coordinates. That message is our best chance of saving the human race." Ratchet gave him a brief nod before turning back to his work. When Optimus turned back to Bumblebee and Bulkhead they straitened up, ready for his order. "Bumblebee, Bulkhead at this time I subject that the three of us get as much recharge as possible. Tomorrow we will all need our energy for the battle ahead. I'll inform Arcee of the situation." They both nodded and headed off, back to their rooms. It was a race to the spacebridge, and neither side wanted to lose.

Meanwhile on the nemesis, high above the Earth - (No ones pov)

A high pitched scream was heard thought out the bridge as one Stasrcream's wings crumpled, "Please, Lord Megatron, I meant no - ow!" His plea was cut short as Megatron slugged Starscream again, sending him stumbling backwards clutching his tank.

Starscream staggered to his feet, looking up fearfully when Megatron suddenly backhanded him across the face; the force sending him flying across the room. "I ordered you to await my command!", Megatron snarled, "Instead, your mindless agenda resulted in the disabling of my ship and the delay of my plans!"

Nightshade leaned against a wall in the corner of the room watching, arms crossed. A small smirk could be seen on his face if one looked closely. He almost felt bad for the poor bot with the way he was being treated...almost. His visor glowed brightly in amusement as he watched Starscream scuttling backwards fearfully as he tried to get away from the angry approaching warlord, "My intentions where pure master! I only wanted you to be rid of Optimus - Ahh!"

Megatron slammed his large ped, that was half as big as Starscream, down on the seekers face, pressing him painfully into the ground. "No one rids me of Optimus Prime but me! Do you understand?! DO YOU?!", Megatron roared. Starscream began choking as he was pressed further against the floor, his frame slowly being crushed and his wings throbbing painfully as they began to crumple.

"Lord Megatron, I will make things right, I swear!" He begged, "I know how to set your plans back on course!" The weight lifted off Starscream allowing him a moment of releife that was short lived. Before he could react he was grabbed by the throat and hulled off his feet.

"Explain Starscream, quickly." Megatron said with narrowed optics. Starscream clawed servo grasped desperately at the hold on his throat.

"S-Soundwave! He can get the correct coordinate by using one of the humans satellite dishes!" Starscream screeched as Megatron tightened his hold.

Nightshade pushed off the wall, swaggering up to the two bots. He scowled behind his visor as he waved his hand in front of him in a no nonsense manner, "That won't work, the humans technology is to primitive to find a planet so far away from there own with a simple satellite dish..." A look a panic flashed though Stasrcreams optics as Megatron leaned in closer, a snarl on his face, "...Unless..." Megatron stopped. His suddenly visor brightened and Stasrcreams eyes darted to him with a glint of hope in them, "We try combining several of the humans radio-telescope dishes. They just may be strong enough to give us a chance of locating Cybertron even against such low odds."

Megatron looked down at Nightshade with a frown then back at Starscream, the bot still desperately clawing at his servos. He let go of Starscream, the bot falling to the floor with a loud thud. "Be thankful that I am willing to give you this chance Starscream. Its only because Nightshades found a way that may allow your subjection to work...But beware Starscream, if my plans fall because of your stupidity, I will rip out your spark and feed it to the scraplets after giving your position as second in command to Nightshade!"

Starscream scrambled away from Megatron and struggled to his peds. Awkwardly he bowed, the pain in his frame stinging. "T-Thank you Lord Megatron", He rasped while rubbing his vocalizers, "I promise that I will not fail you!" Before Megatron could get his talons on him again he slunk away, giving Nightshade a hatful look on the way out.

Nightshade glanced amusingly at the look Starscream gave him before turning away. Soundwave was already at the computer searching for a strong enough group of radio-telescope dishes that would enable them to pinpoint Cybertron. In no time flat Soundwave pulled up a base located in Texas and began to hack into the mainframe. Megatron and Nightshade came over to watch. The dishes rotated and numbers began to flash across the screen. Suddenly Soundwave stopped causing Nightshade to blink in confusion, "Is that it?" he asked.

Soundwave turned towards him, looking down. A large red X flashed across the bots face visor before he turned back to the computer and pulled up a picture Texas and the base. He pointed at the pictures and flashed a number of nighty-nine point three present.

Megatron narrowed his optics, "So our chances of finding Cybertron will only succeed if one of us hacks into the mainframe..." Soundwave nodded. Megatron turned around and snarled to the crew, "Get the ship ready! Soundwave go down to the humans base of operations and locate Cybertron. Nightshade stay here to input the coordinates when ready. If any trouble arises, I want you here to deal with it."

Soundwave and Nightshade bowed, "As you wish, Lord Megatron", Nightshade replied with a unsettled gleam in his optic.

Miko -

The next day Bulkhead came by Miko's house and picked her up early in the morning. He filled her in as to what Ratchet had discovered on the way to the base and told her that Fowler had woken up in the middle of the night so they had driven him home. The news about the cons trying to take over the earth was horrible but luckily Ratchet was close to decoding what they all hoped would be the spacebridge coordinates. She was more quiet than usual on the ride to the Autobot base, worry pegging her over and over with what could happen if the bots didn't make it in time. Bulkhead had tried to reassure her that they had it handled but in her heart she could tell he was worried too and that just added to her fear.

They arrived back at base just in time, Bulkhead transformed and Miko stood by his feet before the walked over to the rest of the bots. Optimus was standing by the human balcony, radiating a sense of calm thought the tense atmosphere in the room. Bumblebee hoped from ped to ped behind Ratchet waiting anxiously for the verdict; Raf sitting on his shoulder.

A blip came up on the screen and Ratchet spoke up, "Optimus, the message did indeed include the set of coordinates we needed. I've pinpointed the location of Megatron's space bridge..." He turned around with a serious expression on his face and said in dismay, "High in earths orbit."

Optimus walked towards them, keeping his feelings in check, "Out of our reach."

Miko looked up at everyone with a worried expression, "Ok, so you guys don't fly, but couldn't you just ground bridge there?" It seemed simple enough.

"The ground bridge has limited range", Ratchet turned to her with a disgruntled look. He explained it to her like she was a young child, "Stretched all the way into orbit, its vortex could snap and scatter us to the stars!" Her eyes widened as she realized how much trouble they where all really in.

Optimus looked determined as he looked at each of them, "Since Megatron is likely already in transit, I'm afraid we must take that risk." He turned and gestured towards the ground bridge. "Reaching the space bridge first and is our only means of stopping him..." He said gravely.

A beeping sound broke the tense moment and made them all look to the entrance way. A smile broke across Miko's face when she saw Jack riding in on Arcee. They pulled into the middle of the base and Jack got off, taking off his helmet. Arcee transformed and Jack nervously stood there. "Hay..." He said, "Guess who's back."

Optimus turned to the group of bots saying, "Autobots, prepare for departure." A hurt expression flashed across Jacks face when Optimus ignored him but he quickly covered it up before looking up at Arcee. "Where to?" She asked.

Miko walked up to her with an excited grin on her face, "The final frontier."

Jacks eyes widened, "Space?! I thought that they didn't have anyway to get there."

"They don't, really", Raf answered as Bumblebee picked him up off his shoulder and lowered him to the floor.

Jack looked up at Arcee with a shrug, "Be seeing you?" He asked. Arcee actually smiled down at him before walking off. Ratchet went to the ground bridge controls and started it up.

Bumblebee knelt down as Raf turned to look up to him, "Be careful, Bee?" He said worriedly. Bumblebee gave him a reassuring beep before walking over Arcee and Optimus.

Miko couldn't believe it, the bots where actually going into space...Mind you they where from another planet and had probably been to space plenty of times but the thought that they would actually be their in a few minutes excited her. "Oh, I'm so jealous!" She mumbled by Bulkhead ped.

He must have heard her because he looked down and pointed at her. "Don't even think about following me", he said sternly.

She rolled her eyes at him, "I'm not that dumb Bulkhead. There's no way I could survive in space without a spacesuit." He smirked down at her before his expression turned serious. and he went to join the others. She ran up the steps to the platform to join Jack and Raff. Just before the bots left Ratchet called out, "Optimus, if you leave me stranded on a planet teeming with humans, I will never forgive you."

Everyone in the room had to stifle their laughs if they didn't want a wrench to the head. "Until we meet again, old friend" Optimus said as an amused smirk flashed across his face, quickly he slid his battle mask on to hide his expression. Ordering his followers in a heroic tone he called out, "Autobots! Roll out!" They all transformed and the three teens watched in fascination as all the vehicles went speeding though the vortex with loud revs of they're engines before disapearing.

Ratchet shut off the groundbrige and went back over to the monitors. He let out a relieved sigh when he saw the states of the bots, "They made it there safely." The tense atmosphere relaxed slightly, now all they had to do was wait for the bots to get back.

"Do you think they'll be ok?" Raf nervously asked from beside Miko.

She smiled down at the younger boy and tried to reassure him, "Don't worry Raf, the bots can handle it. They'll be back in no time flat, just you wait." Her eyes darted to the monitor hoping she could believe her own words. She was just as worried about the bots as Raf was.

Onboard the Nemeses -

Megatron chuckled darkly at the image of the Autobots standing in a defensive position on the ground bridge, "Optimus Prime never disappoints...Unlike you, Starscream!"

Starscream squirmed in uncomfortably from behind Megatron, "No need for concern, master," He tried to reassure Megatron and himself, "Soundwave is locking onto Cybertron's coordinates...Per my instructions."

Everyone rolled there optics and ignored the last part of Starscreams comment. Nightshade glanced over at Starscream but kept his mouth shut, now was not the time to argue or draw attention to himself. He had a job to do and didn't need distractions. Turning back to the monitor, he continued shifting though the computers mainframe looking everything over. His purple visor darkened suspiciously when he saw something out of the ordinary. He clicked on the file only to be denied access. A smirk came across his face and he mumbled lowly under his vocalizers, "Now I wonder what this could be."

Autobot Base -

Miko blinked in confusion, the cons where just sitting there not attacking or trying to get though the groundbridge? "Well what are they waiting for?" she herd Bulkhead voice her thoughts from over the comlink Ratchet had set up so everyone could hear what was going on.

Optimus spoke up, [It appears the Decepticons have sustained serious damage to there interstellar navigation system.]

[Huh, that's my handiwork,] Bulkhead said sounding surprised. [Great job, Bulkhead,] Optimus replied. Miko snickered to herself and Ratchet shot her a look telling her to be quiet. [Without the dish,] Optimus continued, [Megatron will be unable to aim the space bridge at Cybertron.]

Raf piped up from the balcony from where the three of them where standing, "Don't the Decepticons know where their own planet is?"

Ratchet scoffed before turning towards them, "Naturally, but Cybertron is many light-years away. To reach their target, their aim must be astronomically precise."

Optimus spoke up, interrupting the twos conversation, [If Megatron went to the trouble to rendezvousing with his space bridge, he must have a alternate targeting system, a remote one.]

Ratchet humped before staining in a matter of fact tone, "From what I know of Earths technology, I doubt there exists a single radio-telescope dish on this planet powerful enough to pinpoint Cybertron."

"What about a whole butch of linked radio-telescope dishes," Raf questioned brining out his laptop and looking the coordinates up, "Like the giant size array in Texas?"

They all jumped back when Ratchet suddenly leaned in close scowling, "Zip buh buh buh! This is not child's play!" (Note: Why did they write it like that in the dub? o.O)

Optimus' voice suddenly came over the comlink, [Good thinking, Raf.] Ratchets mouth dropped open as he looked up wide eyed and not believing what he was hearing. [Ratchet, have Agent Fowler alert the array staff to the security hazard.]

Ratchet grumbled to himself as he turned away and pressed some buttons. A new sound came over the com system what sounded like phone ringing several times before they got an answering machine. The teens looked at each other with a bewildered expression, the bots had phones? Ratchet tried several more times before he finally hung up, slamming his fist down, and growled, "I hate machines."

Miko raised an eyebrow and gestured at him, "Um, I hate to brake it to you Ratchet...but aren't you technically a machine?"

Ratchet had an offended look on his face before scoffing and turning away, "Optimus, Agent Fowler is not answering his phone right now. What do you subject we do?" Optimus was silent on the comlink, thinking to himself.

Raf pulled up a chair and began typing away on his computer. Curious, Jack and Miko walked over to see what he was doing. The younger teen scowled and finally said, "I cant get past the arrays firewalls, they're to thick!"

Ratchet turned back to Raf with a slightly amused look on his face, "You actually think you could keep the Decepticons out?"

Raf glanced over at Ratchet with a thoughtful expression "Maybe, if I could get in..."

"Ok, wait, wait, wait." Jack put a hand on the boys shoulder, "Raf, what if we could get you all the way in, like inside the building in?"

Miko raised an eyebrow at Jack, "Are you suggesting what I think your suggesting?"

He rolled his eyes at her, "Yes Miko, you must be rubbing off on me...So Raf, could you do it then?"

Raf seemed to consider it, "I could walk into their internal network on the other side of the firewall."

Optimus' voice suddenly spoke up, [The risk is to great. The Decepticons will be there, perhaps even on site.]

Jack stood there thinking with a grave expression on his face. After a moment he looked up and said in a serious tone, "Optimus, with all due respect, you said it yourself. This is bigger than the safety of three humans."

Miko finally spoke up, knowing they had to convince Optimus to let them go for everyone's sake, "Yeah, if we let the cons win, we're all doomed along with everyone else on our planet."

Optimus was silent on his end of the comlink. The three of them looked at each other with concerned expressions. Finally Optimus questioned in a quiet tone, [Raf?]

A determined look crossed Raf's face, "I want to give it a shot," He stated firmly.

Optimus was once again silent before he finally let out a dismayed sigh, [Ratchet...Open a groundbridge for our young friends.]

Ratchet sputtered, "B-But Optimus -"

[Ratchet!...] Optimus interrupted loudly before lowering his voice, [I know the consequences, but this is our only option.]

A worried looked flashed across Ratchets face before he sighed, "...Understood Prime" He walked over to the groundbridge controls while the three teens ran down the steps. The vortex formed but before they went though Bulkhead spoke up, [Miko] She stopped in her tracks feeling confused, [...Stay safe] Was all he said. She smirked before yelling, "This is me your talking about Bulk! If a cons here, I'll kick its tailpipe!" Bumblebee spoke up saying something which caused Raf to smile, "You to Bee," Raf replied. Arcee spoke up next, [You better be there when I get back Jack or so help me...I'll hunt you down] Jack smirked and let out a small chuckle, "Don't worry Arcee, we'll be back before you know it."

The three walked though the swirling portal Ratchet looked a bit worried. Miko glanced over at Jack who gave her a smile. Raf, who was standing in between the two, reached out and held both of their hands. They glanced at one another before bracing themselves for the mission ahead, hoping that they wouldn't find any Decepticons on the other side. The portal made a sound zipping them away.

Ratchet closed the groundbridge behind them when they made it safely to the other side. He was just about to turn back to the monitors when an annoying voice suddenly yelled out, "Ratchet! I just got your message! The base is in the all clear; all personnel have been evacuated and everything should be locked down."

Ratchet wiped around to find Agent Fowler stepping out of the bases elevator. He let out an annoyed snarl then snapped at the man, "You couldn't have gotten here and said that ten kliks ago?!"

Fowler stopped in his tracks and gave Ratchet a puzzling look, "What, did I missing something?"

He rubbed his nasal ridge as he sighed, "Only that the kids went to the base you just mentioned to try and stop the Decepticons..."

Agent Fowler looked concerned, "Cant you just give them a call and bring them back?" He asked as he walked over to the human size desk and put some folders down.

Ratchet sighed shaking his head. He turned back to the monitor and replied, sounding exasperated, "No I can not. If the Decepticons are there, they may pick up on the signal; putting the kids in even more danger...Its best to remain silent and hope for the best until they need a bridge back."

"Darn!...Well is there anything else I can do to help the situation?" Fowler asked looking up at him.

"Not at the moment, no...Its all up to the younglings and Optimus now...All we can do is wait." Ratchet said as he looked down at the human mech. A paper sticking out of one of the folders Fowler had brought caught his optic. It had a picture of a girl clipped to it that had a strange resemblance to the outgoing femme he knew, "What's all that?" He questioned curiously.

Fowler glanced down at the three folders, seeing the picture sticking out. He sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly, "The children's profiles, that's what took me so long...There's a long story in one of these documents I need to discuss with all you bots...Especially Bulkhead since he's her guardian for the time being."

Ratchet bent down, lowering to the mans level. He had a worried expression on his face as he asked, "Should I be concerned?"

Fowler glanced away, a saddened expression on his face, "I'll tell you all when the boss bot gets back..."
Ratchet opened his mouth to argue but was intruded by a com notification. He stood up to look at the monitor, he glanced back and gave Agent Fowler a this discussion isn't over look.

Hot desert air hit the threes faces when they jumped out of the swirling portal. It closed behind them with a loud zap and a whoosh. The ground felt like it was swaying under there feet as they tried to get their balance back, each one of them moaning from the dizzyness. They all held a hand to there head and Jack voice their thoughts, "That'll take some getting use to."

They looked around seeing a large building and many satellites in front of them. "Come on," Miko said racing to a door she saw. The two boys followed quickly behind her. She pulled on the door handle but of course it was locked. "Great now what do we do?" Jack asked from behind her.

Miko grinned back at Jack, wiping out a credit card, "Watch and learn Jack." She began fiddling with the lock, lucky it was a pretty simple one so she was able to quickly brake in. She pushed open the door and bowed, "After you." Jack raised an eyebrow at her but didn't say anything for once.

The three snuck in, Miko leading the way, "Which way should we go?" she asked Raf when they came to a hallway.

"I just need to find a computer," Raf looked around before pointing to sign on the wall that said main office, "There should be one in there." Miko nodded.

They quickly ran down the hallway and ducked into the office noticing no one was around. Miko back and forth down the hallways before quietly closing the door, "Security sure is lax in this place," she said as she set up a chair against the office door, stopping anyone from getting in.

Raf was sitting at the office desk, typing away. The computer beeped and he exclaimed in an excited tone, "I'm in!" but then he scowled, "And so are the Decepticons!"

"What?!" Jack exclaimed quietly. "How can you tell?" Miko asked. Raf pulled up the screen, "Schematics, with the same alien math we saw on their ship." He held up a usb smugly, "But this time I can download them...Its got to be the spacebridge. The Decepticons are syncing it to the dishes, but I can sync to them I can download it."

"Will they know?" Jack asked worriedly.

He put the usb in the computer slot, "Even if the Decepticons see that I'm in the system, they'll have no idea I'm in the house," Raf replied as he typed. He narrowed his eyes and said worriedly, "They're locked onto Cybertron but not for long." Jack and Miko glanced at each other nervously before watching Raf, waiting in silence as he 'battled' the Decepticons. Raf growled in annoyance, "The dishes are heading back towards Cybertron! I'll just undo that again." A pop-up block would stop him for a few seconds before Raf knocked them back down.

"What happens when the cons realize that there being punked?" Jack asked.

"Its only virtual combat," Raf replied "You know, like online gaming!"

"Yeah Jack, what are the cons gonna do? They're probably like a thousand miles away." Miko snickered, imagining the aggravation the cons must be going though.

Suddenly a live video feed popped up in the corner, revealing an all to familiar looking con on the other side who seemed vary surprised by what he saw, "Younglings! What are you doing there?!" He yelled/whispered urgently.

The three teens blinked at him in surprised, "Nightshade?! How did you find us?!" Raf asked.

"I was receiving cordites but got interrupted so I followed your tacks back to the computer your using! But that's not important right now!" Nightshade whispered hurriedly, they could here a loud voice yelling, not sounding to pleased, in the background that sent chills up there spines. "You three have to get out of there! Soundwave-"

Suddenly there was a large crash as the office door was broken down. They all jumped and turned around to see a large claw like appendage burst into the room and look at the three teens angrily. Jack yelled as it went strait for him and grabbed him in a tight hold. Before Miko had a chance to react, the claw slammed Jack into her, making her scream and sent the two of them flying against a wall.

Raf typed away as fast as he could on his computer. In the corner of his eye he saw as the video link with Nightshades disappear. Raf didn't miss the worried look the con held before the box vanished. Raf saw as the clawed tentacle turned towards him just as he finished locking the satellites into place. He snatched up the usb right before the claw lunged at him, making him jump out of the way just in time. It smashed the computer system off the table as it tired to grab him. He ran, dodging its attacks.

Miko saw the trouble Raf was in before spotting axe hanging above her on the wall. Quickly she grabbed it and went charging at the cons claw with a loud yell. She swung the axe downward but missed! The claw came back at her and knocked her against the wall once more, narrowly missing hitting Raf and Jack. She looked up in horror as the claw grabbed the axe she had dropped.

"You handed it an axe?!" Jack screeched. "Not good" Raf gulped as the thing arched overhead. Miko held her hands over her head waiting for the blow. Just when they thought that they where done fore the thing pulled back out of the room, leaving the three teens bewildered. They all sighed in relief but then Miko sprang to her feet, "We cant let it get away!" she yelled as she took after it. "Miko!" Jack yelled from behind her. The two boys took off after her, fowling her into a warehouse full of computers.

They all skidded to a halt when they entered the room and saw a large skinny Cybertronian standing on the destroyed roof. Miko flipped out her phone and snapped a picture. The con turned around when he heard the sound and took a picture of them before transforming into some kind of jet and took off.

They all stared up at the sky watching the jet disapear, "Why is he leaving?" Miko asked out loud.

Raf looked around, he ran over to some large cables with the axe cutting though them, "He cut the hard wire," He said sound defeated, "The dishes are locked onto Cybertron...For good."

Jack walked up behind the younger teen and put a hand on one of his slumped shoulders, "You did what you could Raf, now its up to the bots. Where lucky to be getting out of this alive..." Jack turned to Miko, "Come on, lets call Ratchet and get out of here." She nodded and flipped out her phone again, "Hay Ratchet..."

Thanks to you all who reviewed!

Katmar1994: I'm glad you like the story, thank you! I look forward to hearing more of what you think about the story in the future.

ohmygiddyaunt: I'm glad you like the bloopers, things just pop in my mind when writing/watching the show and I'm just like I have to share this just because! I'll try not to worries about it to much. Its true, I can go back if something isn't right. I'll try to get everything right the first time though. I thought of an idea so maybe it'll work out. And here's a dash more of Nightshade ;) since he is an 'extra', he'll be in and out of chapters for awhile until the time comes.

Notes-

Ok so I decided to make this a two parter since it was becoming to long. So the next chapter is about Miko should be out tomorrow if I can get it done. This week was a doozy! I'll go over it tomorrow and see if there's anything I need to correct but I at least wanted to get this part out to you all. And I promise you, the next chapter is about Miko. I just needed Agent Fowler and I didn't realize how long this ep really was. I'm writing it right now so hopefully it will be out by tomorrow night I hope. If not Monday night.

So yeah I couldn't help but think, why would the bots not speak in Cybertronian when the kids weren't around. So that explains the extra stuff there.

P.S. How in the allspark do you spell Optimus name with a 's?! Is it Optimus' or Optimus's? Like when you write Optimus' truck or this is Optimus's. This keeps on confusing me.

Bloopers -

1. Ratchets optics scanned over the message quickly reading before shuttering his optics. His optics rescanned the whole thing once more not believing what he was seeing, "It cant be." He said breathlessly. Quickly, he opened a com link, [Optimus, I need you in the control center immediately.]

The tired Prime answered in a slurred voice, most likely haven ben woken up from recharge, [I'm on my way. Why the urgency Ratchet?]

[You'll see when you get here] Ratchet replied in a grim tone. It wasn't long before the loud footsteps of the large bot echoed in the quiet hallways as Optimus approached the room. Ratchet turned around and instantly got to the point when Optimus entered, "I finally fished decrypting half of that disk that Nightshade gave the humans..." Ratchets optics teared up and he held out a cube of energon with bits and peace's floating in it, "After all these years Optimus...I finally found my creators recipe for wonton soup!" Optimus optics looked from the soup to Ratchet and back to the soup. He turned around without a word and went back to bed knowing that Megatron had just won the war and they where all doomed.

2. Ratchets optics scanned over the message quickly reading before shuttering his optics. His optics rescanned the whole thing once more not believing what he was seeing, "It cant be." He said breathlessly. He read it over and over but his optics weren't deceiving him. He slammed his servos down on the computer angary, "Who in there right mind sent a secret decrypted message for a brownie recipe?!" His optics narrowed as he remembered the mech, "...Nightshade!" He brought up a ground bridge and unsubspaced his wrench. Arching the weapon over his head, he sent it sailing into the portal.

On board the nemeses a small portal suddenly opened. "What in the allspark?!" Starscream screeched as something went flying over his head. Megatron, Soundwave, and the rest of the Vehicons blinked their optics in confusion as something went sailing across the room. Nightshade turned around just as the wrench hit his helm. He was sent sailing off his feat and landed on the floor in a big heap. He was knocked into stasis from the force of the attack.

Megatron looked at the wrench on the floor then back to Nightshade before looking back at the wrench. The crew was silent as the portal closed. Slowly Megatron turned around with his servos held behind his back, and cleared his vocals, "Let this be a lesion to all, never invoke a medics wrath...Especially one with the name of Ratchet." Everyone nodded and went back to they're work ignoring the knocked out mech on the floor.

3. "I was receiving cordites but got interrupted so I followed your tacks back to the computer your using! But that's not important right now!"
