I followed the corridor until it lead outside to a planetary surface, so now I know that this place is a planet. But something is wrong, this planet is in pieces. It's almost as if this planet had been destroyed, but yet somehow it survived it's attack. I ventured off into the landscape to see honeycomb shaped structures almost everywhere. So this must be the planet Cybertron, so this is the planet I should've called home. But this planet is not my home, Earth is what I truly call home.

As I looked at the stars, I noticed a meteor falling from the space above. It's going to crash only a couple hundred yards from my current spot, but I notice that it's not a meteor. It's....Optimus Prime! He crashes onto the surface with fire surrounding him. I can't let Quintessa get to him, so I do the only thing I can think of. Run. I run towards Optimus as fast as I can. But I wasn't fast enough, Optimus had entered Quintessa's chamber.

"Optimus don't trust her!" I yelled.

He didn't hear me. But I did hear Quintessa.

"I've been waiting for you Optimus. Come meet your maker." I heard her call him.

I ran to the entrance to see Optimus headed straight for Quintessa, a wave of energy struck him in the shoulder. I saw chains attach to Optimus and pull him to his knees, I felt so guilty for not getting to him in time. Quintessa hissed at Optimus before grinning creepily.

"You dare to strike your God?! Your war consumed Cybertron." Quintessa said.

What war was she talking about? One between the Autobots and Decepticons?

"Megatron started the war." Optimus argued.

"You destroyed your home, you fool!"

Quintessa then slapped Optimus, I saw a red mark beginning to form on the right side of his face.

"My perfect Creation, you are going to fix it," She touched the side of Optimus' face, "I made you, you are mine to command."

I growled in anger and walked in. This made both Optimus and Quintessa face my direction, I had my claws extended and was ready for a fight. Quintessa looked rather pleased to see me and came my way.

"Springlock, glad you could join me." She said with a grin.

"Cut the slag, Quintessa! He is not your creation and I can prove it!" I yelled at her.

Quintessa stopped right where she was, completely shocked. She look like she had seen a ghost almost. I removed my visor and showed my glowing red eyes, they were full of fury. A look of anger came to Quintessa's faceplates, she hissed at me.

"I know he's not your creation because him and I share the same creators! I was built by the very same creators to hunt Optimus down but I refused to. I remember each and every one of our creators, and you aren't one of them!" I shouted.

Quintessa fired a wave of energy at me it hit me in the chestplate but barely phased me, she looked quite surprised. A chain attached to my leg and pulled, I yelped in surprise as I fell to my knees. Another chain caught my left arm, I strained to pull it free but it only made it tighten. But my right arm was free, I swiped my claws at it and the chain shattered. I did the same to the chain on my leg, it broke and fell to the floor in pieces. I gave Quintessa a death glare as I stood up.

"I was built to be the ultimate super soldier, able to adapt to any fighting style as well as tricks." I growled.

"Perhaps I should have kept Galvatron here to put you in your place." Quintessa hissed.

I was suddenly hit in the back, knocking me to the floor. Something heavy was keeping me down, I looked behind me and saw it was Infernocus. He took his foot off of me and lifted me up, then slammed me into the wall. I grunted as I fell to the floor, but I get back up like I hadn't been hurt. I felt my body change slightly, I've adapted to his fighting style. I growled and charged Infernocus, swiping my claws and kicked him in the abdomen.

I was about to finish him when I was shocked with an unbelievable amount of electricity, I screamed in pain and fell to the floor. The shock was enough to make me start to feel dizzy, vision fading in and out. I looked up to see Quintessa grinning creepily.

"You shouldn't have betrayed me, Springlock." Her voice rang through my head as I was shocked again. Only this time I blacked out.

I was back on Earth, the only planet I truly called home. Only, I was in a junkyard. There were other Autobots, and one of the Dinobots I encountered while in China. The Tyrannosaurus Rex dinobot, Grimlock. There were 2 humans, a grown man and a small girl. They were salvaging from the old useless junk lying around. A red and black mech was balancing on his katanas, a great sense of balance and focus. A yellow and black mech was just minding his own business, and the other Autobots were discussing.

"I'm sick of hiding, I need to do something." A green and black mech said.

"Patience Crosshairs." The red and black mech spoke.

"Excuse me, Autobots." I walked towards them.

They didn't even bother to look in my direction, which was rather rude to not acknowledge me. I walked towards the mech that was dark green, brown and a little overweight. No one else even bothered to look my way, something is very wrong.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" I went to push the mech but my hand went right through him.

"What the hell??" I backed up.

'Springlock.' I heard Solus' voice behind me.

I turned around to see her standing there, I gasped at her appearance. She looked somewhat similar to Quintessa, yet completely different. She had an actual body instead of multiple legs.

"Solas? What's going on? How did I get back to Earth?" I asked.

'You are not on Earth, you have been captured by Quintessa and are still on Cybertron.' Solus explained.

I had been captured again, only this time by the great Deceiver.

"Why are you showing me this though?" I ask.

'Because these are the ones you need to find, you must escape Cybertron and warn them about what has happened to Optimus.' Solus explains.

"But I need to get him away from Quintessa! Him and are like siblings, we come from the same origin and I can't leave him behind!" I argued.

'Springlock, you are not strong enough to face her army on your own. You need the Autobots to assist you, trust me.' Solus said as she began fading away.

"Solus wait!" I shouted as everything suddenly got brighter.

I began to open my eyes, there was a bright light shining in my face. Quintessa was there, grinning creepily at me. I went to strike her but I couldn't move. My arms were chained above my head, I looked down to see the same with my legs. Quintessa grabbed me by the chin and forced me to look her in the eyes, I growled as she did so. She let out a hiss as she then slapped me, only I didn't hear the sizzling like I did when she slapped Optimus and the red mark appearing.

"Your betrayal almost cost me Optimus Prime, and I could possibly use you as well." Quintessa said.

"Don't even bother to try, Deceiver! I will never listen to you ever again." I growled.

She laughed at my statement, "Then I suppose you will just remain in this dungeon for the rest of your life."

Quintessa left the dungeon as the cell door closed, she left a key on the other side of the room. Perhaps I could reach it, but I'm stuck here. I felt my tail swish-MY TAIL! I can use my tail to try and get the key! I concentrate as hard as I could to try and use my tail to reach the key, I watched as my tail wrapped around the key. Got it! I brought the key closer to me, concentrating on trying to unlock the chain links. I flung the key into the air and it landed in my right hand, I held it up to the chain attached to my left wrist and put it in the keyhole. I turned it, the chain unlocked.

I did the same with my right wrist, I unlocked the chains around my legs. I'm free! Now I must get out of here and back to Earth, I must find those Autobots and warn them about what happened to Optimus. What happened to my brother....
