Transformers Prime: A New Adventure.

Chapter 54: Prime Family Reunion.

In the Autobot base, Optimus was hard at work on the scanners for any signs of Energon when a special Prime Alert notification appears.

Optimus was shocked at this, as this meant another member of his family was calling him.

Optimus answers it and a familiar female voice questions, "Optimus, are you there? It's me, Circuitsmith."

Optimus sighs in relief before asking, "My dear sister, how are you?"

Circuitsmith replies, "Just great. Listen, I don't have a lot of time; one of Megatron's clones is looking for me, and I only got so much time before that clone finds me and our cousins. Send backup, fast!"

Optimus replies determinedly, "Understood. Over and out."

Optimus disconnects the call and rushes to the SAFE.

Inside the SAFE, Bumblebee, Arcee, Bulkhead, Cliffjumper, Tailgate, Shadowguard, Roadstain, Downstalker, Lightgiver, Nickelette, Brasset, Cosmicburst, Bonestreak, Chromebringer, Sounddrive, Timesphere, Stormryder, Moonshine, Twitchback, Kickstart, Hallucinogen, Charlen Flame, Electro Saber, Quakestrike, and his parents working out and/or training.

Optimus then says to get everyone's attention, "Autobots. My lost younger sister Circuitsmith is on Earth and is in danger of being found by another one of Megatron's clones."

Ackas Pax then says, "Well then, let's get going."

The 27 Autobots use the Space Bridge to get to Circuitsmith's location, which is none other than the Daintree Rainforest in Australia.

Suddenly, they see Circuitsmith in her vehicle mode of a 2006 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution semi truck comes barreling onto the road, followed by what appears to be a Cybertronian version of a Type 90 main battle tank combined with an M1 Abrams main battle tank which drove onto the road and opened fire on the Autobots.

Optimus and the others dodge the tank round of metal before Optimus and the Fliers take to the skies.

Because the Megatron clone finally realized that he was outnumbered and had no chance against more than one Flier potentially firing at him from all sides, the Megatron clone retreats.

Optimus states, "Circuitsmith... it's good to see you again."

Optimus hugs Circuitsmith, and out from the forest comes Optimus' five other cousins and four other sisters: Tidevoid, Lawdriver, Currentbite, Lawfall, Forcesmasher, Atomstreaker, Circuitlord, Victorydriver, and Flaresmasher.

Even Arcee was shocked to see femme versions of Optimus who looked like him as femmes in different kinds of Prime-ish femme frames, aside from the obvious that came from Optima when they first met the actual female Optimus lookalike several months ago.

In the Autobot base, after explanations were given, Circuitsmith remarks, "So, the multiverse is a real thing here."

Optimus replies, "Yes, and even I was shocked, but I pushed it to the side when I realized Primus' plan to end the war between Autobots and Decepticons somewhat involved recruiting humans of different kinds aside from just being Cybertronians and techno-organics to assist us."

In no time, Optimus decided to catch up with his remaining family members on the roof of the base.

In his quarters, Fortressimus was doing the Cybertronian equivalent of dumbbell curls while standing up straight.

Fortressimus was feeling cathartic as he went about the dumbbell curls for ten minutes.

He got up to three hundred and fifty-nine repeats when his door was knocked on.

Fortressimus wipes the sweating coolant from his forehead and puts down the dumbbells before opening the door to his room.

Arcee was on the other side of the door.

Fortressimus questions, "Did something come up, Arcee?"

Arcee answers, "Yeah, Optimus wants you to give Circuitsmith a tour of the Nevada countryside."

Fortressimus raises an optic ridge before he replies, "Very well."

Fortressimus enters the command center and he sees Optimus and Circuitsmith standing by the Space Bridge as Optimus finished explaining how the Ground Bridge was upgraded into a Space Bridge.

Optimus states as soon as he sees Fortressimus standing there, "Fortressimus, I wish for you to give Circuitsmith a tour of the Nevada countryside."

Fortressimus replies, "Understood."

Fortressimus and Circuitsmith are teleported to a patch of desert one hundred feet from a road in the Nevada Desert for easier convenience.

After about 3 minutes of driving, Fortressimus and Circuitsmith drive past the road leading to the Area 51 Air Force military base.

Circuitsmith questions, "Where does that road lead to?"

Fortressimus answers as he also explains, "That road leads to Area 51, an extremely classified United States Air Force military base where rumors of alien UFO sightings were reported a century ago when the Air Force personnel were testing newly developed military aircraft at the time. As a matter of fact, so many humans want to raid Area 51 in spite of the consequences just to see if there are in fact aliens being imprisoned there, but until the day comes for humanity to accept aliens among them, and because even the Federal Bureau of Investigation won't hesitate to imprison anyone trying to expose or sell United States military secrets to offshore and out of country enemies for profit, the rumors are going to stay rumors for the foreseeable and near futures."

Circuitsmith replies back, "Okay, good enough for me."

In another part of the Nevada Desert, the two Autobots come across the road leading to Death Valley.

Circuitsmith questions in confusion, "What in the Pit is Death Valley?"

Fortressimus replies, "First of all, watch your mouth. Secondly, Death Valley is an arid, inhospitable desert here in Nevada. It's full to the brim with harsh sunlight, scorching hot temperatures powerful enough to give a human a bad case of sunburn and/or heatstroke, and mosquitos."

Circuitsmith replies again, "Oh. Okay then."

After the next fifteen to thirty-five minutes, Fortressimus and Circuitsmith finished the tour of the Nevada Desert.

After returning to base, Fortressimus saw that night has fallen, and thus he decides to go recharge.

In his quarters, Fortressimus went to his recharging table and hooked himself up to it.

As Fortressimus recharged, he dreamt about what was happening next: the Scraplet infestation.

Fortressimus hoped and prayed that he wasn't too late to stop the Scraplet infestation from happening before the Scraplets could truly cause irreversible damage.

The End.
