"Where is he?" Ironhide shouted. "Where is Lockdown?"

"He is coming your way, "Crosshairs shouted back.

" Which side? I can't see a damn thing in this smoke," Ironhide shouted.

"No, but I can," a voice came behind his back.

Ironhide turned around and was suddenly face to face with Lockdown. Lockdown transformed his servo into a sword and stabbed Ironhide in the stomach.

"ARGH!" Ironhide screamed in pain. "Is that all you got?" Ironhide asked, through his gritted teeth holding on to Lockdowns sword with both his servos trying to stop him from pulling the sword out.

"I'm just getting started," Lockdown replied, pulling out his word slowly out of Ironhide; Ironhide dropped to his knees, his servos on his stomach. "And now to finish you off," Lockdown said, raising his sword up in the air, but before he could strike Ironhide he was shot in the shoulder. "AGH!" Lockdown grunted, in pain as he made a couple of steps back clutching his shoulder. Energon began pouring from the wound. "This is not over," Lockdown hissed. "We shall meet again," he said, before he disappeared into the smoke.

"Yeah, we shall," Ironhide mumbled under his breath, before turning his helm to the person that was approaching him. "Thank you," he said to the person, but he soon regretted when he recognized the person who was approaching him. Oh, this is great. Just great he thought to himself. "Are you going to finish me off?" Ironhide asked, as his blue optics stared into red ones.

"No," Thundercracker replied. "As much as I want to, I am under strict orders not to hurt you or any of your teammates."

"Really?" Ironhide said sarcastically. "And who gave you that order?"

"Your good old friend Spectra."

"SPECTRA…?!" Ironhide said shocked.

"Yes."

"You are lying!"

"Whatever," Thundercracker said, waving his servo. "I did what I was ordered. Now you're on your own. Try not to offline," he said, and began walking away.

"WHY?" Ironhide asked, stopping Thundercracker.

"Why, what?"

"Why is she helping us?"

"You know very well why," Thundercracker replied, and disappeared in smoke.

"IRONHIDE?! WHERE ARE YOU?"

Ironhide heard Ratchet calling him.

"OVER HERE DOC!" Ironhide shouted.

A nanoclick later he saw Ratchet.

"Primus…" Ratchet whispered, as he ran toward Ironhide. "Who did this to you?" he asked, kneeling beside him.

"Lockdown," Ironhide barely managed to say.

"And where is he now?"

"He withdrew back to his ship; he got shot in the shoulder."

"You lost a lot of energon. I need to take you somewhere safe and repair you," Ratchet said, helping Ironhide to stand up.

"Ratchet you don't have your tools," Ironhide said.

"Don't worry about that," Ratchet said. "I worked in much worse conditions and with far fewer tools."

"Hey Ratch, do you want to hear something funny?" Ironhide asked as they walked.

"Yeah."

"It was Thundercracker who saved me from Lockdown. Can you imagine that?" He said laughing.

"Yeah, it's hilarious," Ratchet muttered as they continued to walk.

The drive home was silent, despite my mom's desperate attempts to make conversation. She pulled into our garage and cut her engine off; I opened the driver's door and stepped out.

"Sandra… " I heard my mom say, but I didn't response. I really didn't want to talk to her right now. I was emotionally drained from all that have happened in this couple of months. I quickly made my way up the stairs and into a living room where I almost collide with my father.

"Sandra… you are alright… thank god," he said, pulling me into a tight bear hug. "I was so worried" he said crying.

"Dad….dad calm down," I said, trying to calm him down. "I'm alright see," I said, giving him a slight smile.

"When the doctor came out and said you died….your mother and I was…." Dean began, but he couldn't finish the sentence. "And when your mother found up that it was your clone that died, I was relieved, and then I was scared because I didn't know where are you and whether you are hurt or not."

"Dad….." I began, but he cut me off.

"But, you are home now, safe and sound; that's all that matters," he said, putting his hands on both of my cheeks.

"Yes, I'm home."

"Dean…."

We heard my mom say as she entered the living room.

"Yes?"

"Can you leave Sandra and me alone? We need to talk; just the two of us," she said.

Dean nodded his head.

"I will be outside if you need me," he said, and walked out.

Spectra walked to the couch and sat down.

"Please sit," she said.

I grabbed a chair and sat across her.

"What do you want to know?" she said.

"The truth," I said, crossing my arms over my chest. "I want to know the whole truth and nothing but the truth."

"Well, you already know I'm a former Decepticon," she began.

"Yes, no thanks to you," I said bitterly. "I also know that Chromia was Ironhide's mate back on Cybertron, and that she was your best friend. And I also know you set her up."

Spectra's eyes went wide as she heard that.

"WHAT….!? NO!? Who told you that? Ironhide?"

"NO! THE QUINTESSONS TOLD ME. THEY TOLD ME EVERUTHING! HECK, THEY EVEN SHOW ME! THEY ALSO SHOW ME HOW I WAS CREATED!" I yelled. "And leave Ironhide out of this. It's because of you he hates me so much," I said.

I was so angry at her that I wanted to scream.

"I understand," Spectra said, calmly as she got up from the couch. "They show you their truth; now it's time for me to show you my truth," she said, grabbing my hand and practically dragging me to the garage.

Once in the garage her holoform disappeared, and she transformed into her robot mode.

"You wanted to know the truth, well here it is," she said, as she touched something behind her antennas.

A holographic image appeared in front of me; the same image of my mom and Shockwave that I saw aboard Lockdown's ship.

"I suppose they didn't tell you what we were talking," Spectra said.

"No."

"Now, you will know."

"I don't know about this Shockwave."

"Spectra trust me. I'm your brother. I just need a nanoclick alone with Chromia to explain to her that we are not the bad guys. That we are fighting for the good of Cybertron; better Cybertron. Cybertron in which are no castes. Cybertron, where every Cybertronian is free to do what he wants and to bond with whom he wants. "

"Alright Shockwave, you convinced me. I will bring Chromia here."

The rest was like the one the Quintessons showed me.

"So Shockwave tricked you to bring Chromia," I said.

"Yes," Spectra said. "After finding out what he has done, I left the Decepticons and stole one of Megatron's ships and left Cybertron. And the reason I created you and not sparked you, it's because I knew as long as the war between the Decepticons and Autobots is going on I could not bond with your father. Bonding with him would mean a death sentence. In our culture when one of the sparkmates dies the other follows. So we decided to bond like humans do. And the reason Ironhide hates Decepticons with such passion is because Megatron took his sister sparkling. "

"WHAT?!" I said in utter shock. "Ironhide was uncle?"

"Yes."

"What happened to the sparkling?"

"He offlined him."

"Megatron?"

"No, Ironhide. "

"WHAT?!" I said shaking my head in disbelief, making a step back.

Everything began to spin around me and I had to sit down. This was cruel, even by his standards.

"Sandra sweetspark, are you alright?" my mom asked me softly, as she kneeled beside me.

I nodded

"Yes, what happened?" I asked weakly.

"When the war broke out, Ironhide's sister was offlined and the sparkling went missing; for vorns Ironhide thought that the sparkling was offlined too; that is, until one day at the battlefield of the Tiger pax he didn't came face to face with a young Decepticon. He recognized the Decepticon immediately. It was his sister sparkling. After offlining his sister, Megatron took the sparkling and raised it as his own. His new designation: Hydrostorm. On the battlefield Ironhide tried to reason with the young Decepticon, but Hydrostorm wouldn't listen. His mind was already poisoned by Megatron. In self-defense Ironhide offlined him."

"And you knew about this all along?"

Spectra shook her head.

"No, when I found out I was already on Earth. It was Thundercracker who have told me, and he was told by another Decepticon."

"I understand," I said, as I stood up.

"Where are you going?" My mom asked.

"To my room," I replied.

Once in my room, I broke down; I crawl onto my bed and curl into fetal position; I cried straight for two hours before finally falling asleep exhausted.
