"Where are we going? Do you have a base of some sort?" Emily questioned her counterpart but only got a stern look from her.

"Don’t ask that kind of question unless you want me to think you guys are spies working for the Autobots. We gotta be careful. They’re close by." She told them while Emily was concerned and confused.

"Who?" She asked.

"Trust me. You don’t wanna know." She simply said.

"These Autobots you speak of. Why do you hate them so much to the point of hating us?" Optimus asked curiously and I'm confusion.

"That’s none of your business!" Emilia snapped at him angrily.

Emily glanced at Emilia who blinked her eyes and just kept her eyes forward but she didn't miss the apology in her eyes.

"I’m sorry it’s just… so hard for me to see your face… and not think about everything I went through… The number of friends I lost, this insignia you guys use. It has brought nothing but pain and sorrow in this world." Emilia said sadly as Emily raised an eyebrow at her.

"Oh yeah? Well, the same can be said about yours. In our world, that insignia has done the same to a lot of my friends. You say we’re the enemy but maybe that’s just one of your lies to set a trap on us." Emily countered a little mad as Emilia gave her an angry look.

"Are you challenging me?" Emilia hissed as Emily returned it with a small glare.

"And what if I am?" She questioned as the two glared at each other with anger in their eyes.

Optimus has had enough. They need to find someplace to hide and they won't find it if they both argue.

"Enough, you two. Right now isn't the time for this kind of bickering. We don’t know what’s going on here and our best hope is to work together." Optimus told them as they looked up to him.

Emily and Emilia look at each other for a moment and after a brief moment, they both agree with what Optimus said.

"Fine, we’ll work together. For now at least." Emilia reluctantly agreed.

"Agreed." Emily hesitantly agreed as well.

After they both agreed on working together they resumed their way. As they continued to move, Emilia began to feel like something didn’t seem right.

"Wait, stop!" Emilia shouted as she halted as the two came to a halt with her.

"What is it?" Emily asked worriedly.

Emilia didn’t say anything because she knew they were here and they were everywhere around and she could feel them.

"Stay close to me and don’t say anything. Let me handle this." Emilia told them.

"What’s happening?" Emily asked as she looked around.

"They’re here." Emilia quietly said with dread in her voice.

Suddenly out of the blue, the sound of a dozen engines was heard as they looked to see where it was coming from. There were a lot of cars that looked similar. Right in the hood, there was something that caught both Optimus and Emily’s attention. The cars had the Autobots insignia on them. It looked just like theirs except for one thing, the colour was purple.

"By the Allspark… it cannot be…" Optimus breathed in shock as Emily took a step back from shock.

"It’s impossible." Emily said in shock.

"Quick. Cover your insignia." Emilia quickly told them as she noticed their insignias.

"What?" Emily turned to her in confusion but Emilia's eyes told her to do it.

"Just do it." She said urgently.

Both Emily and Optimus grabbed some dirt and began covering their Autobot insignia so the Autobots from this world wouldn’t notice it. After they had finished, those mysterious Autobots had transformed into their robot form. They looked a bit similar to the Vehicons. Except they all had red glasses. Yet they all looked similar. Emily eyed them warily as she stepped a little closer to Emilia to whisper.

"What are they?" She whispered in confusion as to why they look like Vehicons.

"They’re called Vehibots." Emilia whispered back but her eyes were glaring slightly at the Vehibots.

"Hold it right there, Decepticons!" One Vehibot shouted.

"We have you surrounded!" Another shouted as Optimus took a small step closer to both of the girls.

As they had no way of escaping, two more Autobots joined the party. These two were slightly different then the Vehibots. But for Emily and Optimus they were very familiar and none of them could believe their eyes.

"They look like… Oh no…" Emily's breathe hitch in shock and fear.

Emily had guessed who they were yet deep down she hoped that she was gonna guess wrong. The first vehicle was a black, red, gold and silver muscle car with gold horns on its hood, and on the side doors there was a silver and gold Autobot Insignia. The second vehicle was a dark blue, almost black and red motorcycle with a chromatic Autobot insignia. They both stopped and started transforming into their robot form. The muscle car was a mech and the motorcycle was a femme. But little by little their faces started to look familiar. Emily had guessed right and that was quite a shock. Those two Autobots were Cliffjumper and Arcee. But they look different. Like a bit shady and it didn’t look very pleasant. The familiar faces almost made Emily gasp in shock as they had red optics instead of the usual blue.

"Well, well, well. Look who’s here. Cee Cee and Cliffy." Emilia started as the bad version of Cliffjumper glared his red optics at her.

"The name is Arcee and Cliffjumper." He corrected her.

"Whatever you say, Cliffy." Emilia said as Arcee gave her a small yet sinister smirk which sent shivers down Emily's spine. It was like she's looking at Airachnid again.

"You better learn respect, little girl, or else I’ll teach you some myself. Now hold still. You’ll be coming with us." Arcee told her as Emilia gave her a small glare.

"Hate to break it to you, Botcreeps, but I’m not going anywhere with you guys." Emilia said as that made Cliffjumper laugh.

"Ha! That’s funny. You think you have a choice in this saying but you don’t. If you see right, you’ll notice that there’s ten of our troops and only one of you." Cliffjumper said but suddenly he had noticed she had two friends with her. 

He couldn’t help to notice that one looked very familiar and that the human girl looked just like Emilia. Emily shifted uncomfortably towards Optimus looking for reassurance when Cliffjumper looked at the two.

"Oh, I didn’t see you had some… friends with you." Cliffjumper said in confusion before he walked over to Optimus.

"Who are you?" He asked in suspicion as Optimus chose his next words carefully.

"I’m just a… refugee." He said slowly but warily as Arcee looked at him in confusion before looking at Emily.

"And what about the blonde girl?" Arcee asked suspiciously as Emily laugh nervously.

"Uh… hehe. Hi, big robots with red eyes that I’m meeting for the very first time in my life." Emily said in a nervous tone as Emilia wants to facepalm but she has to keep them distracted and long enough for them to get away. Hopefully.

"She’s my cousin. Distant cousin. To be honest, very distant." Emilia said through her teeth as she nudged her counterpart's side with her elbow to get along with it.

"Yes. I’m her distant cousin. Hi my name is Christie. Wow, man. When Emilia told me about the existence of giant alien robots that can turn into cars, I didn’t believe a single word out of her. I guess what they say is true, seeing is believing. So now that I know my dear cousin was telling me the truth. I think I’m gonna leave and let you guys do your stuff. That way you won’t mind me getting in your way." Emily said as she started to walk forward to hopefully get away with Optimus following and Emilia.

"Catch you later." She said but two Vehibots stepped in front of her so she couldn't get away as they glared down at her with their red visors.

"You’re not going anywhere, little girl. You’ll stay nicely or else you’ll be severely punished." Arcee warned her as Emily gulped and stepped back to Optimus as Emilia glared at the femme.

"Leave her out of this. It’s me you want, not them." Emilia told her as they knew the jig was up.

"Then explain to us why you lied? Why does this bot look like our great leader?" Cliffjumper questioned as he pointed to Optimus.

"Guess some people look similar to others." Emilia said as she glanced at the two a little worried that they might get hurt.

"You can tell that to our leader once we bring you to him." Arcee said as Emilia had to smirk in her mind.

While no one was watching, Emilia used her holo computer to send out a distress signal. The main screen was showing the Decepticons logo pulsating. That way she was able to call for help without anyone noticing. Optimus decided to speak up to at least try and get the girls to safety.

"Please, I believe we can solve this matter without resorting to violence." Optimus said but one Vehibot punched Optimus tight in the stomach and it made him fall down on one knee with a strained grunt.

"Stand down." The Vehibot who hit him told him but Cliffjumper just stopped him with a smirk.

"No, that's okay. This one is brave, I like brave people. They make killing so pleasant." Cliffjumper smirks as Emilia glared at the Autobots.

"I swear if you touch him, I’m gonna take out those pretty gold horns out of your head." She threatened him as Cliffjumper just laughed.

"You still have that fierce temper of yours. I seem to recall that many friends of yours act like that and they pay the price for their insolence." Cliffjumper reminded her as that made Emilia glare even harder as Emily was confused by what he meant.

"You better watch your mouth." She growled dangerously.

"Such insolent, human. I believe it is time we bring you to our great leader. Along with your friends." Arcee said with an evil smile that Emily can't help but compare to Airachnid.

One Vehibot walks to where Emily is and grabs her with his servo, who starts to struggle.

"Hey, let me go!" Emily shouted at the Vehibot.

"Please, let her go. She has nothing to do with this." Optimus pleaded. Fear gripped his spark as the thought of Emily being harmed only made it worse.

"Get out of the way!" Another Vehibot shouted and punched Optimus hard and made him fall to the ground.

Seeing Optimus being harmed, Emily started to struggle more and tried to reach for him.

"Optimus!" Emily cried out worriedly for the Prime.

"Put her down now!" Emilia shouted as the faces of her two human friends and their last words before they were killed appeared in her mind.

"Take care of my father for me, Emilia Sparks."

"I'll see guys on the other side once the Autobots are defeated."

'No... I can't let this happen again!' Emilia thought in dread.

"I’m afraid you are in no position to make any demands. Cliffjumper, do me a favor and get rid of this bot. Our master wouldn’t want to bother killing such a weakling like him." Arcee said as she turned to Cliffjumper to give him permission as he grinned evilly.

"Finally, I’ve been dying to see some Energon." He said as he cracked his knuckles.

"No! Stop! Leave him alone!" Emily pleaded as tears started to form in her eyes.

As soon as Cliffjumper was gonna kill Optimus, Arcee noticed something on both him and Emily.

"Wait, Cliffjumper!" Arcee shouted.

When Cliffjumper was gonna penetrate Optimus' spark, he stopped when he heard Arcee told him to do so while giving her an annoyed look.

"Why did you ask me to stop? I was just about to have some fun." Cliffjumper complained as Emily was confused.

Arcee approached the Vehibot that had Emily in his servos. She gently grabbed Emily’s arm and saw dust on it. She then let go of it and walked to where Optimus was. She saw that there was dust in his arm too. She took some of it off. When she saw what was hiding under it, she couldn’t believe her optics. An Autobot Insignia. Both Optimus and Emily grew nervous as their cover was blown as from the looks of Arcee's optics was not a good sign.

"You dare use our insignia?! You disgusting Decepticons spy! We shall execute you for this treachery!" Arcee shouted with fury.

All Vehibots began pointing their guns at Optimus and Emilia. The one holding Emily was pointing his gun at her as Emily gulped but Emilia started to smirk which confused them all.

"I hate to rain on your parade. But I fear your execution will have to be postponed." Emilia said as if to signal someone.

After Emilia said that there would be no execution, a huge silence reigned. Everyone was wondering why she said that when nothing happened. Cliffjumper looked at Arcee in confusion who was confused as well while the Vehibots looked at each other questioningly. Emilia wanted to facepalm so bad but tried again.

"I said your execution will have to be postponed!" She said but more loudly.

"Oh right, sorry." A male voice apologized with a sheepish tone.

A voice was heard coming out from Emilia’s communicator and suddenly a ground bridge opened, right in front of everyone. The Autobots were all confused.

"A ground bridge?" Cliffjumper asked in confusion.

"Who ordered a ground bridge?" Arcee asked the Vehibots who shrugged and shook their helms.

"All right! You know what time it is?" A voice questioned and both Emily and Optimus looked to the portal in surprise and confusion.

A strange loud voice was heard coming out from the ground bridge. The Autobots began pointing their guns at the portal for they knew it was them while Emilia quickly got out of the way.

"IT’S HAMMER TIME!!!" The voice yelled and from the portal came a very familiar face. 

He used his hammer and began hitting some Autobots. Emily could not believe her eyes as she watched in shock, surprise and disbelief.

"Breakdown?" Emily breathes in shock as this Breakdown looks different aside from the same colors of the optics but his colors were more brighter.

"Right in the nick of time, Breaky. Did you have to yell Hammer Time?" Emilia jokingly asked as she stood with him as he looked down with a genuine grin.

"What can I say? It’s my catchphrase." He grinned.

More familiar faces come out of the portal as Emily's jaw drops.

"You always have to make a dramatic entrance." A female voice said with a roll of her optics.

"You ought to consider something more elegant and stylish." A male voice chided with a grin.

With them came two other familiar faces. One that was silent and one who Emily and Optimus knew too well as their eyes and optics widened as the silver mech with blue optics glared at the Autobots.

"Decepticons, fight off the Autobots!" He shouted as they all charged into battle.
