      ━━━━━ THE TWO WITWICKY siblings ran down the hill running for their lives. The Decepticons followed quickly behind the two, however the Autobots came in at the last second saving the siblings.

"Autobots, attack!" Ironhide shouted, firing a grenade at the Decepticons.

Daisy came up to her, while Bee pulled in front of them. Stephanie climbed into the passenger side looking over at Hero who sat in the driver's side. Shock still rested on her face as Daisy picked up speed following behind Bee. The blonde turned around in her seat looking out the window, as they were driven to safety.

Stephanie watched Daisy pull into the driveway of the building still following behind Bee. Stephanie climbed out of the car, shutting the door soon after. Stephanie paced back and forth swinging her staff around her body.

"Technically, I'm like a hostage. This is kidnapping..." Leo said, causing the blonde to halt and look over at her brother and Leo.

"Yo, Leo!" Mudflap yelled, seeming to scare the human. Stephanie laughs, continuing to swing her staff around.

"You willingly came, therefore it's not kidnapping." Stephanie said, looking at Leo for a brief moment.

"You guys forced me into that car, right?" Leo asked, moving past Mudflap and Skids. Stephanie watches her brother turn back to stare at Leo.

"Hey, Mudflap, what are we gonna do with this shrimp taco?" Skids asked, looking over at the other Autobot.

"Let's pop a cap in his ass, throw him in the trunk and then nobody gonna know nothing, know what I mean?" Mudflap asked, looking back at Skid.

"You two knock it off." Stephanie gave them both a stern look.

"Yo, bumper cars? I'm hearing you. Okay? I'm right here and I can hear you! No one's popping any caps in any asses, okay? I've had a hell of a day!" Leo shouted back, walking away from them. Stephanie broke the staff apart and proceeded to shove them back in their cases.

"Go whine to your boyfriend!" Stephanie smirked looking over at the two Autobots while Leo looked over at Sam.

"Listen, Sam, I know what I'm gonna do, man. Look, I'm just going to go to the authorities and tell them the truth. Like, I had nothing to do with this. So, I'm not an accomplice."

Stephanie turned her head staring at Leo as Sam turned back to look at him with a sudden serious look resting on his face.

"Hey, hey, you wanted this, right? You wanted the real deal? Well, that's what this is. Wake up! You're in the middle of it! You want to run? Go ahead! No one's stopping you. Stop complaining." Sam said walking away.

"Nice going, Leo." Stephanie called out looking at him.

Stephanie laid in the grass looking up at the stars, Daisy sat near her while Hero sat next to Daisy, the two were clearly worried about her.

"Do you think she's okay?" Hero asked, looking over at Daisy.

"No, she really respected Prime. Seeing him die..." Daisy paused not really knowing what to say.

"You know I can hear you two talking about me, right?" Stephanie questioned, still looking up at the stars.

"Yeah, we do." Hero replied.

Stephanie walked past the fence, Hero with her. Bee had transformed back into the camera. Daisy stood near Skids and Mudflap.

"You two..." Sam called out looking at the twins.

"Huh?"

Stephanie and Hero came to a stop looking at Sam as he walked closer to Skids and Mudflap. He picked up his hands holding them around his head.

"Hey, you know the glyphs? These? The symbols that have been rattling around in my head?" Sam asked, pointing over to his hand. Mikaela stood up from the chair, turning slightly to look at them.

"That's old school, yo. That's, like... That's Cybertronian."

"That's some serious stuff, right there."

"They gotta mean something, like a message or a map. Like a map to an Energon source! Can you read this?"

"Read?"

"Can you read this?"

"No. We don't really do much reading. Not so much."

"If you can't read it, we gotta find somebody who can." Stephanie said, looking over at her brother.

"Aw, look who came sashaying back!"

Stephanie placed her eyes on Leo, she tilted her head. She was glad to see that he wanted to help them, at least that's what she hoped.

"Hair growing like a Chia Pet. Look at him."

"I had a bit of a mild panic attack earlier, alright?" Leo said, looking at Sam.

"That's cause you a pussy." Mudflap lifted his robotic hand up giving Skids a fist bump.

"I think I'm allowed that, considering what I've been through. I heard you had a problem. I think I know someone who can help." Leo explained to them.

"Who?" Sam questioned.

"Robo Warrior."
