No P.O.V [Autobots Base]
Ratchet paced the Main Control Room, his optics darting nervously across the screens. A sudden beep jolted him from his thoughts. With a surge of hope, he rushed to the console and activated the comm line.
"Optimus?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper. But it wasn't the familiar voice of the Prime that greeted him. It was Jack. "Uh, no Ratchet, it's Jack. Is something wrong? School's been out for almost an hour and no one showed to pick us up," Jack questioned, his voice filled with confusion. Ratchet's optics narrowed.
"That's because the entire team is rather...indisposed at the moment. I suggest you obtain an alternate method of transport." A heavy silence hung in the air as Ratchet disconnected the call. His mind raced, the gravity of the situation dawning on him. The Omega Keys, the fate of Cybertron. Meanwhile, on Cybertron, a fierce battle raged. Optimus Prime, the noble leader of the Autobots, faced off against Megatron. The fate of both worlds rested on the outcome of this epic clash.

Miko leaped down, her patience exhausted. The relentless sun beat down on her, adding to her frustration. "What's he saying?" Miko demanded. Jack, startled by her sudden outburst, covered the phone. "The bots are busy." he explained, his voice barely audible. Miko rolled her eyes. If the Autobots were busy, why couldn't they at least send someone to pick them up? Ratchet had done it before, so why not now? 'Tell Ratchet to come get us!' she insisted. 'It's not like he has anything better to do.'
"Just go home," Ratchet snapped before abruptly ending the call.Jack sighed, a sense of unease washing over him. The Autobots had been keeping secrets lately, and he didn't like it.
"What crawled up his tailpipe and died." Miko asked, her tone dripping with sarcasm. Rafael shrugged. "I don't know. But something's definitely off." The three friends stood there, unsure of what to do next.
They waited, and waited, but no sign of the Autobots appeared. With a heavy sigh, Jack turned to his friends. "Well, looks like we're on our own." Jack sighed, disappointment clear in his voice. "Looks like we're on our own." Rafael nodded, a sense of unease settling over him. Miko, however, was fuming. "Can't believe were missing out on all the fun!" she exclaimed, her frustration evident. "Miko, are you serious?" Jack asked, rolling his eyes. "Their safety should be their priority." Rafael, ever the observer, felt a strange sensation.
A chill ran down his spine as he noticed a sleek red car approaching rapidly. "Guys, look!" he warned, pointing towards the vehicle. Miko and Jack turned to see the car screech to a halt. A familiar, sinister voice echoed through the air. "Care for a ride, kiddos?" Knock Out purred as he transformed, a menacing grin spreading across his faceplate. Panic struck the trio. They knew they had to act fast.
"Run!" Jack yelled, his voice filled with urgency. The three friends scattered in different directions, hoping to evade the Decepticon's clutches.
Jack P.O.V
I bolted, adrenaline surging through my veins. I didn't dare look back, terrified of what I might see. But then, a cold, metallic grip seized my ankle. I was yanked off my feet, my heart pounding in my chest.
I looked up, horror etched on my face. Starscream, the menacing Decepticon, held me aloft. A shiver ran down my spine as I saw Knock Out and Soundwave, each carrying one of my friends, trapped in glass containers. Starscream tossed me into a similar container.
A cold, metallic grip enveloped me as the ground bridge activated. I was powerless, a mere captive, as I was dragged into the unknown.
Location Cybertron Sea of Rust, No P.O.V
Megatron, a menacing figure, stood before the Autobots. "Hand over the Omega Keys," he demanded, his voice echoing through the desolate landscape.
"And why should we do that?" Smokescreen retorted, his voice filled with defiance. Megatron smirked.
"Because I have something you want." He gestured towards three glass containers, each holding one of the human captives, who just entered through the Space Bridge, each being hold by a Decepticon.
The Autobots were stunned. "You wouldn't dare," Optimus Prime growled, his voice low and dangerous.
"Oh, I would," Megatron replied, his eyes gleaming with malice. "I would do anything to achieve my goals." A tense silence filled the air.
The Autobots were faced with a terrible choice: sacrifice their human allies or risk the destruction of both worlds. Optimus, torn between duty and compassion, his mind racing.
"Very well," he said finally, his voice heavy with regret. "We'll give you the keys." "If my decision dooms the future of the Autobots' cause on Cybertron, so be it," Optimus declared, his voice resolute. "But I will never forsake our human allies." Optimus moved forward, plunging his Lightsaber into the metal ground with a forceful strike.
A heavy silence fell over the Autobots. They understood the gravity of Optimus's decision, but they also knew they had no choice. One by one, they tossed the relics to the ground.
"Now, if you please, the Omega Keys... one at a time," Megatron ordered, his voice dripping with malice. Knock Out, a sadistic grin on his faceplate, held Miko's container aloft.
"You first, big boy," he taunted Bulkhead. Bulkhead, his face etched with anger and frustration, reluctantly approached Knock Out. With a heavy sigh, he handed over the key.
"You're welcome," Knock Out sneered.
"Get scrapped," Miko muttered, her voice barely audible.
As the exchange continued, the Autobots watched helplessly as their human friends were handed over to the Decepticons. Bumblebee, filled with a mix of anger and sorrow, reluctantly handed over the key to Soundwave.
"If this human was important enough to be entrusted with the Matrix of Leadership," Megatron mused, "then he's worth two Omega Keys." "StarScream, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure, approached Arcee and Jack. He held up Jack's container, a menacing grin on his face. "No tricks," StarScream warned, his voice cold and menacing.Arcee, her face hardened with determination, handed over the key. Then, with a swift movement, she snatched Jack's container from StarScream's grasp.

"Optimus, were you successful?" Asked Ratchet as he waited for the Prjme to answer, only to frown when he heard who it was. On Earth Ratchet, preoccupied with the crisis on Cybertron, unaware answered a call from June Darby.
"Ratchet, it's June Darby," she said, her voice filled with concern. "I haven't seen Jack all day, and he isn't answering his phone." Ratchet, his mind racing, tried to reassure her. "I understand your concern, June. I'll keep an eye out for him and let you know as soon as I have any news." As he ended the call, Ratchet couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. He knew that the fate of Earth and Cybertron was intertwined, and he feared the worst.
Location, Sea of Rust, No P.O.V
The Autobots were surrounded, a ring of Vehicons closing in. The Decepticons, weapons drawn, prepared to strike. Optimus, with a heavy Spark, knew that a desperate decision had to be made.
"Now bear witness," Megatron declared, his voice echoing through the chamber, "to the dawn of a new era on Cybertron."
The Decepticons, led by Megatron, inserted the Omega Keys into the ancient device. The ground began to tremble, and a colossal structure began to rise from the earth.
"Behold, the age of the Decepticons!" Megatron proclaimed, his voice filled with triumph. The Omega Lock, activated, pulsed with energy, reshaping the very fabric of Cybertron. Buildings rose from the ground, towering structures of pure energy.
"By the Allspark," Optimus muttered, his optics wide with disbelief. "Wow!" the human children exclaimed, their faces filled with wonder. "Instant home makeover," Miko quipped, her voice filled with sarcasm.
"Shiny," KnockOut added, his optics fixed on the mesmerizing display of power.
"You have what you want, Megatron," Optimus said, his voice steady. "This conflict is between Autobots and Decepticons. Allow me to return the humans to Earth."
Megatron chuckled. "Oh, I wouldn't recommend that. They'll be much safer here." With a sinister grin, Megatron activated the powerful device, as Soundwave opened a Space Bridge to Earth. A surge of Cybertronian energy poured through the portal, threatening to consume the planet.
"No!" Optimus roared, his Spark filled with despair. As the Cybertronian energy poured into Earth, the fate of the planet hung in the balance. The Autobots and the children watched in horror as the once peaceful world was being transformed.
Location, Jack home P.O.V
A powerful earthquake shook Jasper, sending panic waves through the city. Sirens wailed as terrified citizens rushed towards safety. June struggled to keep her balance as the ground cracked beneath her feet. Once the tremors subsided, she rushed outside to assess the damage. Cars were overturned, buildings were crumbling, and power lines dangled precariously.
The city was in chaos. Amidst the devastation, June spotted a strange, white beam of light in the distance. She wondered what could have caused such a phenomenon. Her thoughts turned to her son, Jack. If he wasn't with the Autobots, he must still be in Jasper. Her heart raced as she worried about his safety.
Location, Autobots base P.O.V
"Optimus, do you read me?" Ratchet exclaimed, slamming his servos on the main computer. "Every system is crashing due to strange atmospheric disturbances. Could this be related to the Omega Lock's activation?"
"Blasted human technology," he muttered, frustrated by the malfunctioning systems.
Locatiton, Sea of Rust No P.O.V
"If the Omega Lock can restore Cybertron, it'll do the same to Earth, right?" Miko asked, her voice filled with hope and fear. Optimus hesitated, his Spark heavy with despair.
"No," he replied, his voice somber. "It will transform Earth into a Cybertronian world, destroying all organic life." Miko's hope shattered, replaced by despair. The realization that their world was doomed was almost too much to bear.
"Such raw power," Megatron mused, a wicked smile creeping across his face. "What shall I call my new domain? New Kaon? Or perhaps Gilded Earth?"
Jack, Raf, and Miko, trapped within their glass prisons, watched in horror as Megatron reveled in his newfound power. Their cries of despair echoed through the chamber, but they were ignored.
As Megatron prepared to unleash the full power of the Omega Lock, a surge of energy erupted from the device. The raw power of the Omega Lock, combined with the desperate actions of the Autobots, caused a chain reaction. The energy, instead of consuming Earth, began to transform the human children.
The children, caught in the crossfire, were bathed in the energy. Their bodies began to change, their human forms morphing into something new.
Jack P.O.V
'Is this the end?'
'Will my death mean anything?'
'What will Mom think?'
'Will she ever trust the Autobots again?'
'And what about Raf and Miko? Their lives are in danger too.'
My mind raced, filled with fear and uncertainty. My body felt numb, and a darkness crept over me. Yet, I could still hear the distant sounds of battle, a stark contrast to the silence that was enveloping me. As I closed my eyes, a faint voice echoed in my mind. "Not yet, my child."
Optimus P.O.V
The fire began to die down, revealing the shattered remains of the Omega Lock. Megatron's plan to cyberform Earth had been thwarted. But at what cost? Cybertron, our homeworld, was left desolate. I scanned the battlefield, my optics searching for signs of the human children.
The Autobots, their faces etched with worry, were scouring the debris, hoping to find any trace of them.I noticed Bumblebee examining a particular piece of debris. As I moved closer, I saw that he had found something I wasn't expecting.
Bumblebee P.O.V
A youngling? But how?" Bumblebee's optics widened in disbelief. "The last of them were sent away or killed by the Decepticons. There were no other life signs when we arrived."
He carefully lifted the metal debris, revealing the injured form of the youngling. Raising the piece of metal until I reached the an orange frame. Disregarding the remaining things, I quickly check to see if there was a pulse on him or her.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I discovered one; it was faint, but it was their. It looked like it was a mech, having bright-colored plating made of red-orange. A light red visor covered its optics, but they showed no sign of coming online any time soon. Its red-orange door wings hung limply on its back, appearing different and smaller than mine and Smokescreen's. Come to think of it, it kinda looks like Raf.
I dark realization soon flooded my processor. If the Omega Lock was destroyed and the Cyber-Matter was released then that means that the children . . . are one of us.
If this is Raf, then he needs to see Ratchet, Raf could be badly injured or worse.
He .he. . could be dying! I can't loose him, not again! My thoughts were broken when I heard a moan. I looked down to see Raf's optics flickering online before they went dark again.
Hold on Raf, I not letting die on my watch, not again. I carefully moved Rafael closed to my Spark chamber as I sent a silent prayer to Primus.
No P.O.V
Optimus looked at his enemy who was crouched down in pain. It didn't bothered the Prime, for he had learn that Megatron will never change. He turned his to face Bumblebee only to be surprised with what he saw. A limp firgue, which Bumblebee hold closed to his Spark chamber.
A youngling? But how? Their were no other Cybertronians in sight, he would had known if a youngling were to appear when the battle was still raging on.
He would have seen the life signal on his reading. Ratchet would even have called if he had pick up the youngling life signal. Yet there it was, before him stood a limp youngling in his Scout servos. Unless . . .
No . . .
No. . .
He should have known.
What had he done? Their humans friends had to suffer because of his mistakes!? Why couldn't Primus punish him instead?Optimus walked slowly towards Bumblebee, who was desperately trying to stabilize the youngling's systems.
The Prime placed a reassuring servo on the scout's shoulder, but he knew the weight of their failure. Bumblebee looked up, his optics dimmed with sorrow. A silent understanding passed between them.
Optimus felt a pang of regret, a heavy burden on his conscience.Suddenly, the quiet was shattered by the sound of reactivating Decepticons. They emerged from the rubble, their optics glowing with malice.
A firefight erupted, the Autobots and Decepticons clashing once more. Optimus moved to cover Bumblebee, opening fire on the advancing Decepticons. Bumblebee, filled with protective instinct, shielded the youngling.
"Optimus, do you read me?" Ratchet's voice crackled over the comm line. "I've been trying to reach you all stella'cycle." Optimus, his voice heavy with exhaustion and sorrow, responded, "Ratchet, open a Space Bridge." A green vortex opened, a beacon of hope in the chaos of the battlefield. The Autobots, their spirits heavy with the weight of their decision, raced towards the portal.
As they retreated, they couldn't shake the feeling that they were leaving a part of themselves behind.
As on the other side of the Battle there laid something under the debris. Two limp firgues rested peacefully waiting for someone to uncovered them.
To be continued. . .Wow, this took longer then expected, but here a new story for you all and a long chapters. Can you guess who he left behing and who he took? But maybe you already know because it not that hard to figure out.
