It's been weeks since I left the Nemesis. I had flown over a place called Jasper Nevada. I had seen Megatron's new fortress and seen the smildering wreckage of what I assumed was the remnants of the Autobot base.

The last I saw of the that was just a couple days ago. I hoped the Autobots where safe because they are the only chance we have against the Decepticons. I sigh before landing on the ground in Colorado. I walk into a cave to find an energon mine. I take some energon cubes and turn to leave. Once I get out, however, I see a large ship. A large Autobot ship. I get my blasters ready and the hatch opens. Out comes someone I am very familiar with from Cybertron.

"Ultra Magnus", I sigh as I put away my blasters.

He looks at me and frowns. "Who are you?" he asks.

"Aww, does my best friend not recognize me? I haven't changed that much", I say with a grin. A look of realization comes onto his face.

"It's good to see you again, Blazewing", he says as he walks over to me. "So what have you been doing?"

"Oh, you know, just learning that Optimus isn't my Sire and that Megatron is. Oh, I also joined the Decepticons for while but now I'm a rogue", I say as I shrug my shoulders. Ultra Magnus stares at me before chuckling.

"I can't believe that you haven't changed at all", he says.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"You're still creating those silly stories about things happening that aren't real, he says as he pulls me into a side hug. I instantly pull away, hurt showing on my face.

"I didn't make this up", I say. His face changed in an instant.

"That actually happened?" he asks in disbelief. I nod and he sighs.

"I'm sorry", he says. I accept his apology but was surprised when I randomly got a message from Soundwave.

'Blaze... Come back... I need you...', he says. I sigh before pulling away from Magnus.

"Blaze, what's wrong?" he asks.

"My bondmate needs me... but I don't want to go back as my Sire will probably kill me", I say sadly.

"Why?" Magnus asks.

"I may or may not have helped an Autobot escape the last time I was there..."

"Of course..." Magnus sighs. "You always were too nice to either bots or cons... How have you survived this war?"

"Instinct", I say instinctivally. Magnus sighs before he tenses up and looks at me in shock.

"Wait!? Bondmate?!" he exclaims, causing me to laugh at his shock.

"Yep. Your reaction was a little late though", I continue laughing.

"Who is it?" he demands. I guess he really wants to know.

"Um... the surveillance chief of the Decepticons...", I mumble.

"SOUNDWAVE!? You're bondmate is Soundwave of all mechs?!"

"Uh... yes...?" I say looking down. Magus doesn't respond so I look up. He had a look in his eyes that let me know that he was talking on his comm-link.

He looks me and starts speaking. "I need to get back to base. We're going to attack the Nemesis. Megatron has built the Omega Lock on his ship."

I nod and grin. "I'll meet you there."

He rolls his eyes and gets on his ship before flying away. I quickly transform and search for the Nemesis on all my scanners. I find it and open a comm-link with Soundwave.

"Sound, I'm coming back", I say happily.

"Sweetspark, I'll be waiting for you", he replies. I smile and fly for 5 hours before the warship came into view. I land on the flight deck just as a ground bridge opens. The Autobots come out of it.

I jump as a pair of arms snake around me. I turn to look and see Soundwave.

"Sound!" I exclaim as I throw my arms around him. He smiles and I look back to see the Autobots watching. I chuckle before leading Sound over to them.

"Sound, you'll help them right?" I ask. He nods once and that was all that was needed for the Autobots to start the attack. They start running in different directions. It was like they knew the warship better than I did which was saying something.

Soundwave and I followed the wreckers to the bridge where they took out all the vehicons in there before taking over the ship. Sound shooed them out of the way and took over, turning to the ship this way and that to make it easier for the Autobots to take down the Decepticons.

''Sound! Where'd you learn to drive?" I shouted as I stumbled from one side of the ships bridge to the other before finally grabbing something to stabilize myself.

Sound just chuckled before continuing on with his job. I left him be and went to find everyone else. I found them where the Omega Lock was being built. I watched as Bumblebee leapt down to give Optimus the Star Saber and I watched as Megatron shot Bee multiple times.

Bumblebee fell down into the cybermatter and we all watched as he vanished. I watched in horror as Optimus let out a yell of pure rage and started attacking Megatron.

Megatron fell over and I watched as he grabbed the Dark Star Saber and swung it at Optimus, hitting him square on, and knocking him over the edge.

I knew this was most likely going to be the end for Optimus until I heard a voice yell, "MEGATRON!"

I watched in shock as Megatron turned around and was stabbed by... Bumblebee. I watched with shock, confusion, and a small bit of sadness as my Sire fell to the Earth.

Bumblebee and Optimus made their way back to us and everyone there stared at Bumblebee shocked.

"Bumblebee..." Arcee says in awe. "Your voice..."

"My voice? What are you talking abou-" Bumblebee began to ask before his mouth cover slid back. "My voice! Ratchet, I have my pipes back!" He gave Ratchet a huge hug.

"Ye-es. I noticed!" Ratchet laughed as Bee put him back down.

"The cybermatter...", Bee says thoughtfully.

"It is the only possible explanation", Ratchet answers.

I stopped paying attention at this point and left to go find Soundwave. When I got back to the bridge, the wreckers were talking to Soundwave. That, however, was not what caught my attention. Soundwave was not wearing his visor.

"Sound! You're not wearing your visor!" I exclaim as I run over to him.

"Indeed, sweetspark. It is nice to know that your optics are still working", Soundwave teases. I punch him and pout for a few second before grinning.

The rest of the bots walked in with their human charges and I gasped when I saw Sebastian on Optimus' shoulder.

"Sebastian!" I cry as I bolt forward.

"Blazewing!" he shouts as he stands up and walks onto my outstretched servo.

"How have you been?" I cry looking over him for any injuries.

"I'm fine", he chuckles. I breathe out a sigh of relief before returning him to Optimus' shoulder. I turn to Azure who happened to be sitting on Ratchet's shoulder.

"So, Ratchet, you still upset that you were forced to have a charge?" I ask with a grin.

"Actually no. Azure and I have grown a lot closer", Ratchet says as he looks at Azure.

"If you mean bondmate when you say "closer" then yeah, I'd agree with you there", Arcee says with a smile.

"Oh like, you and Wheeljack aren't close", Azure shoots back at Arcee but her grin gave away the fact that she was teasing Arcee.

"Okay, you guys are going to have to catch me up on all the relationships", I joke.

"I'll do it!" Miko shouts from Jack's side where I noticed they were holding hands. I smile as Miko starts listing off relationships. "Okay so there's Wheeljack and Arcee, Azure and Ratchet, you and Soundwave, and then me and Jack!"

I smile even wider. "So that's not too many." Miko just nods before kissing Jack's cheek, making Jack blush. I chuckle at his reaction.

We arrive at Cybertron via a space bridge and head to the Well of Allsparks. The cybermatter shoots down to the heart of Cybertron and we watch as the sun rises over the horizon. Predaking flies in fron of us and some of us frown. (cough, cough, Ultra Magnus, cough, cough.)

"Ah, such luster", Knockout says. Everyone turns to look at him. "What?! I'm joining the winning team!"

Miko, somehow in the Apex Armor, punches him, knocking him out, and shakes her head.

"Miko, you just punched my twin", I say calmly. Her eyes widen as she looks between us. I laugh at her reaction. "Just give him a chance. He's not that bad once you get to know him", I say with a smile.

"We will, don't worry, Blazewing", Optimus says.

We head back to the Autobot base to say our goodbyes. Soundwave stayed on the warship to control it.

"Bye Sebastian", I say sadly as he hugs my digit.

"Bye, Blazewing", he replies, equally as sad.

"I'll try to visit, I promise. Or at least call", I say with a sad smile. I step away from him and walk through the open space bridge onto the Nemesis. Sound almost immediately pulls me into a hug.

"Are you alright, sweetspark?" he asks. I only nod before kissing him softly. Soon, after the Aut- well the rest of the Cybertronians walk through the space bridge.

Sound directs the Nemesis towards Kaon where we celebrate by making Bee a warrior and blowing up a statue of Megatron. Soon after, Optimus left with Wheeljack to get the Allspark. And- well you know the rest don't you?

"Of course Carrier! It's one of my favorite stories!" little Nightwing exclaims.

I chuckle as she gives me a hug a runs off. I look up to see Sound standing in the doorway, his optics resting on the small bundle in my arms.

"Do you want to hold your son?" I ask with a smile as I stand up.

"Of course I want to hold little Darkblade", Sound replies with a 'duh' tone in his voice although I knew he was messing around. I hand him Darkblade and watch as the eldest three come back into the room.

First was Red Spark, the eldest. He looked like me although he had his Sire's purple optics. Then there was Ocean Deep. She was blue and purple, mainly purple. she was the second eldest. She had my bright blue optics. Third was Nightwing, who was black as night with purple optics. She took after Sound in almost aspects. Finally there was Darkblade, who had sharp points and was a very dark red, almost the color of human blood. We knew he would be a formidable fighter.

This is my family. If you harm them, I will harm you. I will protect them even if it means losing my life. So trust me when I say, don't mess with me or my family because I will hunt you down.
