We see our favorite human friends with their robot friends riding through the road to head to the Great Basins. Michael has the AllSpark wrapped tightly around his arm while Mikaela has her arms wrapped his waist. Normally, it would a problem, but since they're going to be in a battle soon, it was more focused than that.

Arcee: I still can't believe the AllSpark could shrink this size.

Michael: Never seen that before back on Cybertron?

Arcee: The only ones that could've seen it are either Optimus or Megatron.

Mikaela: Wait, Megatron? I get that because he's after it, but it sounds like he was there as well.

Arcee: Can't share much info as it would be Optimus to share it, but...both he and Megatron were friends back before the War.

Michael: What? Oh, that changes a lot of this.

Arcee: Yep, but don't let it get into your head. Megatron can and will kill anyone in his way, that includes us and you.

Michael: Right. We-

Suddenly they hear police sirens. Michael recognized them and sighs.

Michael: Oh great. Our not so friendly neighborhood DeceptiCop is coming.

Arcee: And he's not alone.

Michael and Mikaela turn and see Barricade heading towards them in his vehicle form from miles away. They then see a R33 GTR and a Buffalo Minesweeper following him.

(NightBird. Yes, it's her look from Rise of the Beasts. Gotta Problem? )

(BoneCrusher)

Mikaela: Who are they?

Arcee: NightBird and BoneCrusher.

Michael: And one had to be a Minesweeper.

Arcee: Better be careful. BoneCrusher has anger issues.

Mikaela: You think that would ease us?

Arcee: No. I thought it make you feel calm.

Michael: You have to be sarcastic about this?

Arcee: Not sorry.

The three Decepticons began to catch up to the Autobots and their human allies. Suddenly, the large claw of the Minesweeper extends and starts flipping and tossing any car in it's way.

Michael: Shit.

Optimus: Jazz, lead the rest to the Basins. I'll deal with Bonecrusher.

Jazz: On it, Prime.

Ironhide: Watch out, Optimus. Bonecrusher can be difficult.

Optimus: Don't worry, old friend.

Optimus begins to break a bit to have him separate from the others. Michael and Mikaela look as they worry for the Autobot leader.

Arcee: Don't worry. Bonecrusher may be strong. But Prime is Stronger.

Michael: Oh God. So I can say this: KICK THEIR ASSES, BIG BOT!

Mikaela and Arcee gave a chuckle.

Barricade: Optimus Prime is separating from the others. NightBird, pursue them! We'll deal with the Prime!

NightBird speeds off while Bonecrusher does this.

He growls in anger as he goes after Prime.

Optimus then transforms as he drags his feet on the road, avoiding any cars near him.

He turns and pulls out his Ion Blaster and fires at Bonecrusher. Bonecrusher tanks several blasts before jumping and tackling Optimus. They rolled across the road, before stopping at the dessert ground.

Optimus tosses Bonecrusher off him but gets grabbed by his claw and was thrown to the side. He flips onto his feet before Barricade arrives and transforms as he jumps on Prime.

Optimus caught him in mid air with a kick, sending Barricade back. Bonecrusher tackled him and punched him in the helm (head). Optimus response back...brutally.

Barricade jumps on him and starts hitting Optimus hit his rotating blade weapon. Optimus grunts before effortlessly picking up Barricade with a Military Press and tosses him to some nearby rocks. He pulls out a cannon from his hand and fires the rocks, burying Barricade.

(Fun fact: Barricade was originally gonna die after this encounter with Optimus in the 07 film, but he was forgotten about until Dark of the Moon)

He then hears Bonecrusher yell as he dodges his claw. Soon, he pulls a blade as it lights up with orange energy heat.

Bonecrusher: I hate you!

Bonecrusher went for a strike, but Optimus slices his arm off, before grabbing and shoves his blade through Bonecrusher's throat. He the shoves the body down as the head rolls.

Barricade: Agh! I can't get out!

Optimus: I would put you out of your misery, Barricade, but I have more important things I need to attend to.

Barricade: Better be quick, Prime. NightBird's heading their way. And once they stop, Megatron and the rest will be waiting for them. There's no way those human pets of yours would-

Barricade then realizes Optimus had already driven off, while he was monologuing.

Barricade: Hey! That was rude of you, Prime! Scrap, I'm stuck. Curse you, Optimus! Soundwave! Starscream! Thundercracker! Skywarp! Get me out of this!

*with the group*

They continue heading their way to the Basins as Arcee sees NightBird heading towards them with her mirrors.

Arcee: NightBird, three o'clock.

Jazz: On it!

Jazz transforms as he fires at NightBird. NightBird instantly transforms as she rolls on the road before getting up. Her robot mode took the form a ninja as she pulls out a long blade.

Jazz: Ah scrap.

NightBird dashes towards him and went for a strike. Jazz dodges it before going for his own strike. NightBird dodges it, grabs Jazz by the helm, and pulls out some rocket boosters on her back.

She flies up, before slamming Jazz down then proceeds to grab him across the road, damaging it and knocking any vehicle in her way. Jazz then gets an idea. He shoots an energy grapple gun from his arm and gets a roadblock. He pulls it and it hits NightBird, knocking her of him.

Jazz hits a spin and transforms into his vehicle form.

Michael: Man, that's awesome!

Arcee: That's Jazz for you.

Jazz: You either do it with style, or not do it at all, Cee!

NightBird gets up and flies up as she heads towards the Autobots.

Bumblebee; She's still onto us!

Ironhide: Not for long.

Ironhide partially transforms to pull out one of his cannons and fires at NightBird. She dodges several blasts and fires at the Auotbots. She then heads towards Arcee as she has her servo out to grab Michael.

Arcee makes a quick turn, preventing NightBrid from snatching Michael and the AllSpark. This gives Michael the chance to flip her off, which distracted her, allowing Ironhide to fire at her, sending her back.

Michael: WOOO!

Mikaela: That was crazy!

NightBird slowly gets as gets ready for an attack, but her a truck's horn. She turns and-

Optimus plows onto her, sending her flying.

Jazz: Nice strike, Prime!

Michael: Outta Nowhere!

Soon, the continue on their way, before they reached the Great Basins. They stopped as Michael and Mikaela gets off Arcee as the Autobots transform. The human soldiers come out of the buggies as they have their guns ready.

Optimus: No sign of human life in this area.

William: Good. So that no casualties to the general public will be happening.

Ironhide: Huh. To think this area was one of our earlier plans to make our base.

(Fun fact: Jasper, Nevada is where Transformers Prime takes place)

Bumblebee: So, what now? We wait for the Cons to come and fight us?

Optimus: Until Ratchet has the TransWarp chamber ready with the key. Though it won't be long until the Decepticons come here.

Arcee: Optimus, you may no this, but we're outnumbered. There's six of us and 9 of them coming after us.

Epps: 9? Shit.

Michael: Could there be any other Autobots that may have come to Earth, but undetected?

Jazz: We don't know. We did try to see if there's any others, but no luck?

Michael: Perhaps they're dormant until they hear a signal or something.

Bumblebee: Hmm. What do you think, Optimus?

Optimus: It is worth a shot. Ratchet, relay a message for me.

Ratchet: On it, Prime. It's set.

Optimus: Calling All Autobots. We have found the AllSpark. We're under attack by the Decepticons. If any of you are hear on Earth, send a signal and Ratchet will open the ground bridge for you to join us in the battle. We need all the help we can get.

Ratchet: There. I'm be replaying the message until I get a signal.

Optimus: Thank you, Old friend.

Arcee: I hope your right about this Michael.

Michael: I hope so, too, Cee.

Soon, they hear the sounds of jets flying as everyone stops and looks up. The see three jets flying over them. Soon, one of them fires missiles at them.

Optimus: Take cover!

Arcee grabs Michael and Mikaela before she and the others spread out. The explosions occurs as as Cee shields the humans from them. Soon, it dies down as everyone got up.

Arcee: You alright, Sparkmates?

Both nodded.

Optimus: Autobots, get ready. This will be a battle for the ages. Humans, take cover and support us in any way. Michael, Mikaela, find a safe location to hide. Keep the AllSpark with you...no matter the cost.

They nodded as everyone gets ready. Michael and Mikaela were gonna go before Arcee stops him.

Arcee: Here.

She gives him a device. Michael looks at it before looking up at her.

Arcee: Use it when we can't help you in time.

Michael: Are you sure?

Arcee: Yes.

Michael: Okay.

Arcee: Place it on you hand. It will transform for you.

Michael nods as he places it on his hand. Soon, the device transforms, enveloping his arm up to his forearm.

Arcee: It has a blaster and melee weapon, so I think you need to get the hang of it before-

Soon, more explosions occurs.

Arcee: There's no time. Take care.

Michael: Wait!

She turns as Michael presses his hand on her cheekplate.

Michael: Don't die on me, okay?

Arcee: ...*wraps her servo around his hand, gently* I'll try to live.

Michael: That's good enough for me. Now, go kick some Decepticon Ass.

Arcee smirks as she nods before getting up and running off to fight. Michael looks and sighs.

Michael: Please keep that promise, Cee.

Mikaela: Michael, come on!

Michael runs off to join her.

And so...the Cybetronian War begins, with the Autobots and Decepticons fighting on Earth, while the AllSpark, their target, is being held safely by a human named Michael McMahon. Can they live long enough to prevent it from falling on the wrong hands?

How's the chapter?

What did you think of the action?

The battle will begin at the next chapter.

And yes, more Autobots will appear. *spoilers*

What do you think of the bond between Michael and Arcee?

The weapon she gave him will be revealed later.

Also:

New cover for the story. And yes I edited to have Michael to carry the AllSpark.
