I sneak through the corridors without any signs of guards or Infernocus, so far so good. I need to get off of this planet without Quintessa knowing that I had escaped, I truly believe Solus when she said the Deceiver had abilities. It would've been perfect if my creators gave me abilities of some type, but I can't complain since I'm capable of many things.

I noticed some escape pods just up ahead, I can't believe I'm leaving Optimus behind. It just doesn't feel right, but it's what I must do to help him. Strength in numbers, I must find the Autobots quickly. The escape pod opened for me and I climbed into it, setting the coordinates for Earth. The computer locked onto the planet and took off. At least this escape pod wasn't like the one I used 100 years ago when I escaped Lockdown. To be fair, I don't know what happened to him nor do I care. Couldn't stand him.

I had crashed landed back in the city of Chicago, but in an unfamiliar part of it. Everything was demolished and there were many places around, what the hell happened here? I get out of the escape pod and walk around and see damaged vehicles, buildings, the roads and oh dear god. Large signs with Autobot pictures, and under them it said "Enemy". The humans have turned against the Autobots? What would the reason be? They've only done good and humans turn their back on them? I became enraged and ripped the sign off the building and threw it as far as I could.

I feel slightly better now, so I continue walking. But I hear the sound of a missile being launched, that can't be good. The missile was closing in fast, I saw its fiery trail as multiple more followed behind it. Heat seeking missiles. I aim my fusion cannon into the sky and fire, the missiles followed the blast as I ran. I ran into a more open area so I could see what was coming, but I saw a human male holding is hands up in surrender. Now what is he doing? He turned and saw me as multiple military vehicles surrounded us, I growled and got into battle position.

Weapons were aimed at both the human and me, but mostly me.

"What is the meaning of this?!" I growled.

I was interrupted by the sound of an engine, I saw a yellow and black car racing towards us all. It started transforming into an Autobot and the vehicles opened fire on him, he was dismantled in seconds. I stared in shock as one of the human men smirked at me.

"You're next, Cybertronian." The military man said.

"I think you've made a big mistake." The human male said.

I noticed that the Autobot started repairing himself almost like magnets, I stepped back as his mechanical parts started to take down the military men. That was something I've never seen before, and by the Allspark it's incredible! My eyes were wide in awe. wait, this Autobot looks familiar. He's one of the Autobots in my vision, Bumblebee.

"Sorry I'm late, I didn't get an invite to this ass kicking!" Another voice said. I saw another Autobot, it was the one called Hound.

"Hold your fire! Hold your fire!" Another human male yelled.

Another military male came out from behind the vehicles.

"Military doesn't want it to be like this Bee, you gotta believe this. I'm sorry to you too." The human looked at me.

The new military man conversed with the normal human male. I looked at Bumblebee, "Are you okay?"

He nodded, "I'm fine, just a few scratches. Who are you? I hope you're no Decepticon."

I shook my head, "No, I'm neither side. But I wish I was an Autobot, just like my brother."

"Who's your brother?" He asked.

I was about to say who it was but the normal human male came over to Bumblebee.

"Bee it's time to go, say goodbye to your friend." He said.

"Are you sure you don't want to shoot? I'm a pretty big target." Hound said.

The military vehicles cleared out in no time flat. The Autobots and the one human were leaving.

"Hey wait, mister. I need to go with you. I have something that the Autobots need to hear." I pleaded.

"I don't even know you, so go away please." The human said.

"It's about Optimus Prime!" I said.

The Autobots whipped around to look at me with shocked expressions, the human male too. They were silent as they were comprehending what I said, they acted as if I've said something that would change their minds. Oh wait, I did.

"You have Intel about Optimus?" The human asked.

"Indeed I do sir, and I need to go with you to tell the other Autobots." I firmly said.

The human, Hound and Bumblebee conversed in private as I waited patiently. They whisper to each other and I believe come to a conclusion. They turn back around to face me.

"Alright fine, you can come with us." The human male said.

"Thank you sir. Now I do not have a vehicle form, but I can turn into this." I transformed into my human self, leaving them all speechless.

"Okay....lets just go..." the human said.

Bumblebee transformed into his car form, opening one of the doors. The human male got into the vehicle, the door closing behind him. The human looked at me, "Aren't you coming or what?"

"Oh, right. Coming." I got into Bumblebee's vehicle form, sitting in the passengers seat.

Bumblebee started his engine and took off.

Barricade had pulled up to his and his master's hideout, transforming in the process. He shone a bright white light in there to see if his master was there, which he was. Megatron shielded the light with his hand.

"Get that out of my face! Report. Tell me you found the talisman." Megatron growled.

"A dying Knight gave it to a human, but there was too much TRF firepower." Barricade explained.

"YOU LET THE TALISMAN GET AWAY?! Without it, we cannot find the staff!" Megatron yelled.

"But there is another problem, there was a femme there as well." Barricade said.

"A femme? What did she look like?" Megatron asked.

"She was mainly golden colored, had 2 horns on her head, a dark grey chestplate, black and grey armor, blood red eyes and claws, fusion cannon, and a long steel tail." Barricade explained.

Megatron got to his feet, knowing exactly who it was.

"Springlock! What is she doing here?!" Megatron yelled.

"What do we do about her, my lord?" Barricade asks.

"She is a traitor to Quintessa, here to warn the Autobots of her plan," Megatron approached Barricade.

"Eliminate her."

*Sorry about the long wait, I've been busy with my YouTube channel and drama and stuff. I've also had some major writers block in everything and no motivation to write, I'm sorry about that.*
