They soon arrive at the base. Sabrina sees Miko and Jack get off Arcee before Rafael gets out of Bumblebee. Cliff picks up Sabrina and places her on his shoulder.

"Arcee, you said there were two boys," Ratchet says.

"Miko probably just eavesdropped on a conversation and saw Arcee," Sabrina says.

"Wow, Sabrina, you're good," Arcee says.

"Thanks, Arcee," Sabrina says.

"How do you know her name?" Jack asks.

"She and Cliff helped my brother and me out yesterday after I picked him up from preschool," Sabrina says.

"I take it, Cliff, is the bot's shoulder your sitting on?" Jack asks.

"Yes," Sabrina says.

"So what's in your water bottle? It looks like cool-aid. Can I have some?" Miko asks.

"No, my dad made it, so it tastes terrible," Sabrina says.

"So when will Optimus give us the rundown on why you guys are here? I need to practice my violin to prove to Priscilla Collins that I am a better musician than she is." Sabrina says.

"Who is this Priscilla Collins person?" Cliffjumper asks.

The group turns around when Optimus walks into the room.

"Cliffjumper, you will have to wait a few minutes before Sabrina can answer your question." The leader speaks.

"So, what planet are you robots from?" Sabrina asks.

"Cybertron." Cliffjumper answers.

"Is Cybertron made of metal and has a building where tiny robots play like Earth daycare?" Sabrina asks.

"Yes, it is. How did you know that?" Cliffjumper asks.

"I've had many weird dreams lately, that's all," Sabrina replies.

"Why are you and the others here on Earth, Optimus?" Rafael asks.

"Cybertron does not have the means to support life after centuries of war," Optimus answers. "We are also here to protect your planet from the Decepticons."

"I take it the Decepticons are those purple cars that tried to blast Brandon and me yesterday," Sabrina says.

"Yes. Where is your little brother?" Optimus asks, not seeing the child with Sabrina.

"Dad is watching him. I only babysit Brandon when he or mom works late." Sabrina says. "Besides, I can tell by Ratchet's response when Jack and the others arrived. He wouldn't like having another human in the base younger than us. Not to mention extremely energetic and incredibly annoying," Sabrina adds.

"Come on, Sabrina, the kid, can't be all that bad," Cliffjumper says.

"What caused the war to break out on your planet? What were you fighting over?" Raphael asks.

"Over our planet's supply of energon," Optimus answers.

"I take it energon is your version of blood. If you don't have it flowing inside your body, you can't function." Sabrina says.

"Exactly, Sabrina. Wow, you are smart." Cliffjumper compliments, gaining a smile from Sabrina.

Optimus continues to explain what happened during the war on Cybertron. Miko starts to get bored and asks if there will be a quiz after he finishes his lecture. Sabrina gives her a friendly shove before she asks the most important question.

"Why did you bring us here? We didn't do anything wrong except for Miko. The rest of us were in the wrong place at the wrong time." She asks Optimus.

"I fear that Megatron may return to seek revenge. If he does, your planet could become like Cybertron, barren and unable to support life." Optimus says.

"I'd be okay if Megatron could erase all little brothers in the world," Sabrina mumbles.

"Sabrina, as much to your and Ratchet's dismay, I believe that Brandon should be here to protect him and the rest of you until we can figure out what the Decepticons are planning," Optimus says.

"Optimus, not to sound ungrateful, but this is a bad idea, bringing a four-year-old here. He would get hurt, and I'd have to take the heat since I'd be in charge of him." Sabrina says.

"Sabrina is correct, Optimus. If these human children get caught underneath our feet." Ratchet starts to say.

"You could squish us." Sabrina finishes.

"We will be careful where we walk," Optimus says reassuringly.

A few seconds later, an alarm goes off. Honestly, it's much less annoying to Sabrina than her alarm clock in the morning - well, the mornings her dad lets her sleep in.

"I thought they would have deactivated all the security measures on this missile silo. Considering the Army abandoned it several years ago." Rafael says.

"We reactivated them when we moved in," Cliffjumper says.

Ratchet pulls up the image from the camera.

"It's Agent Fowler and Agent Tucker and his wife." He says.

"Tucker?" Miko asks.

"Sabrina, your last name is Tucker, right?" Jack asks.

"Yes, but my parents aren't cool enough to be secret agents," Sabrina answers.

"Optimus, I thought me, my friends, and Brandon were the only humans that knew you existed," Jack says.

"Agent Fowler and Agent Tucker and his wife were assigned to be our liaison to the outside world," Optimus explains. "They only come if there are issues."

"I guess you want us to hide." Sabrina sighs.

Optimus nods. They run away and hide underneath a fleet of stairs near where Arcee and Bumblebee are standing. They lean against the wall before Sabrina pokes her head out when she hears the elevator door slide open. She quietly gasps as her mom and dad exit right behind Agent Fowler as he walks out.

"Prime, what are you 'Bots doing out there?" Mr. Tucker snaps.

"I had complaints from my superiors about a three-hour traffic jam." Agent Fowler adds.

"Not to mention the seven accidents and thirty-four fender benders. Also, reports of a speeding motorcycle of unknown make." Mr. Tucker continues.

"You forgot about them mentioning a custom black-and-yellow muscle car." Agent Fowler says, finishing Mr. Tucker's rant.

"Calm down, you two. No one got hurt. I'm sure Optimus has everything under control." Mrs. Tucker says.

Sabrina quickly leans back against that wall as she attempts to wrap her brain around the fact that her mom never went to fight overseas. She and her dad have kept it a secret that they are working for the government as secret agents.

'I guess their lesson that secrets and safety don't go together was a lie.' Sabrina thinks.

Sabrina sets the violin case between her. Then Miko accidentally kicks it away from the wall with her right foot.

"Miko, way to blow our cover," Sabrina whispers.

"Sorry," Miko whispers back.

A few seconds later, the teenagers and Raf hear the universal signal that kids know you're in trouble when they hear Sabrina's mom shout, "Sabrina Lilah Tucker, get out here right now!"

Sabrina slowly walks over to her violin and picks it up. Then she looks down at her feet. She is anxious and scared of what she is about to hear.

"Agent Fowler, we have to talk with our daughter." Mr. Tucker says.

"I understand. Please do us a huge favor and handle this under the radar before we resort to using the military." Agent Fowler says.

After he leaves, Sabrina's parents turn their attention back to their daughter.

"Sabrina, how did you get involved in this?" Mr. Tucker asks.

"Yesterday, when you told me to pick up Brandon. When we were walking home, we got attacked by Decepticons. Cliffjumper showed up and saved us." Sabrina answers.

"Thank you, Cliffjumper, for saving my family." Mrs. Tucker says.

"You're welcome, ma'am," Cliffjumper says.

"Dad, didn't you hire a babysitter to watch Brandon?" Sabrina asks.

"Yes, I did." Mr. Tucker answers.

"I guess I have to say goodbye to everyone, don't I?" Sabrina asks.

"No, Sabrina. I believe that Optimus is right. The Autobots are more capable of protecting you from the Decepticons than your father and I can." Mr. Tucker says.

"Thank you, Mom," Sabrina says.

"You're welcome, but remember, I want you home before 10:15 tonight." Mrs. Tucker says.

"I will be home on time," Sabrina says.

After her parents leave to meet up with Agent Fowler, Sabrina walks down the stairs to join the others and sees shocked expressions on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Sabrina asks.

"I can't believe you have a 10:15 curfew on a school night," Jack says.

"Why is that so unbelievable?" Sabrina asks.

"Because my curfew is 10 pm," Jack answers.

"My parents are slightly less overprotective than your mom," Sabrina says.

Sabrina walks over to the area where the TV is, sets her things down, and takes the sheet music out of her book bag as Miko walks up.

"Sabrina, have you noticed that you don't look like your parents?" she asks.

"Yes, I have Miko." Sabrina snaps as she turns around. "It's bad enough that Vince said the same thing a few days ago. I don't need to hear it from you too, Miko. I'm adopted, and I was left at an orphanage because my birth parents didn't love me and threw me away." Sabrina adds as her emotions suddenly take a 180, and she runs away crying.

Back on the nemesis, Knockout convinced Megatron to let Natasha leave since they don't have any way to feed the human since they have no means of getting it. The medic also mentioned that going to school is also important for humans. He sets Natasha down and goes into his alt mode. He turns on his holoform. A 5'7" man in his late twenties has short red hair, brown eyes, and a goatee. He wears a black t-shirt, a red leather jacket, and blue jeans.

Along with an expensive wristwatch on his right wrist. Knockout drives Natasha to the school. She wanted to see her best friend Sammy, plus she had only missed a few classes. Ravenwood's school day is longer than it is in Jasper. It was lunchtime, so she ate lunch at the local fast-food restaurant. When she gets out of the car, Knockout sees Natasha tense up as Mavis walks up to her.

"Hi, Loserson. Did you finally trade in that old car," Mavis says.

"No, I'm afraid that this car is mine," Knockout says as he gets out of the car.

Mavis ignores Knockout. He grabs Natasha's right wrist and slams it down on the hood. Natasha holds her breath to muffle her shriek of pain. As it ripples through her body, she gasps for air; it is so intense that she nearly faints.

"Hey, 'genius,' if you hurt my writing hand, I won't be able to do your homework for you," Natasha snaps as she blinks her eyes a few times recovering from the dizzy spell.

Mavis gets ready to punch her in the stomach when Knockout's holoform grabs the bully's wrist.

"Listen, boy. I don't know why you're bullying this girl, but I'd appreciate it if you'd ruin your car's paint, not mine," Knockout says.

"Whatever, you got lucky today, Loserson," Mavis says as he pulls his hand away and walks to his car.

"Thanks, but why did you help me? My best friend, Sammy, doesn't even dare to do that," Natasha groans, holding her wrist.

"I'd suggest finding a new friend, my dear," Knockout says.

"Yeah, I'm not great at making friends," Natasha says.

"Does that boy just pick on you?" Knockout asks.

"No, there are a few other students. I'm his favorite, I guess," Natasha says.

Knockout spots Optimus driving up. He quickly apologizes to Natasha before zapping her with a taser. She faints, and he carefully places her in the passenger seat and speeds away. He called for a bridge, and once back on the nemesis, Knockout took Natasha to the medical bay.

"My school has security cameras, and the principal has notified my parent that you kidnapped me. Also, how did you know how to properly wrap my wrist?" Natasha asks as she slowly sits up and looks down at her wrist.

"I found the notes you took in your human health class," Knockout says.

"So, did Mavis break my wrist?" Natasha asks.

"No, according to your notes, you're wrist is sprained. Also, you don't have to worry about your parents." Knockout says.

"How come?" Natasha asks.

"I had Soundwave, our surveillance chief, contact the school. We told your father I was merely trying to protect you from another human who would kidnap you," Knockout says.

"Okay, so why did you bring me here? i thought I was allowed to leave," Natasha asks.
"You are, but we can't let the Autobots take you to their base," Knockout says.

"Why not? It would help us find it," Starscream says as he walks in.

"Bad idea. The Autobots could trick her into staying," Knockout says.
