(A/N Okay, Listen up just so you know this is a remake. Got it?! Yesterday I was celebrating my birthday which I manage to finish two chapters. So the moment your all waiting for....Enjoy!!)

The dawn of the next day came far too soon, they headed back towards the well, staring down into it's emptiness. Ratchet, Campy (who was on his shoulder) and an almost healed Ultra Magnus had joined them. 

 Optimus started once they were next to the Well of All Sparks, "In order to both protect the Allspark, and secure Unicron's defeat, it was necessary for me to empty the vessel's contents."

"Into where?" Bee asked.

"The Matrix of Leadership. As such, my own spark can no longer be separated from the multitude of others within me."

Ratchet gasped, "Are you telling us that you are now one with the Allspark?"

Smokescreen chuckled, "That's what you say when someone kicks the..." he trailed off, optics falling. 

"To not return the AllSpark to the Well would be to prevent further generations of new life from existing on Cybertron...my quest must be completed." Optimus replied.

"Optimus, I didn't return to save a life, only to lose the one I care most about!" Ratchet barked.

Bulkhead set a servo on his shoulder, "Ratchet's restored planets. He'll find a way to save you."

"We can turn to Vector Sigma, just like we did before." Arcee said quickly.

"Maybe Nova can help you...I mean she's the Herald, right? She can manipulate energy, surely she can separate it from you." Bumblebee added.

Optimus shook his helm, sighing deeply. "No Bumblebee, because the Matrix must now be relinquished to the Allspark, it cannot be restored or passed down to another. But while this may very well mark the end of the age of Primes, leadership can be earned with or without the Matrix. And in my view you have each acted as a Prime." He said as the group took this in.

"Well, I've never really had the best role models." Knockout said sheepishly.

"As even Megatron has demonstrated on this day, every sentient being possess the capacity for change." Optimus continues as he activates his jet pack looking them over once more, "I ask only this of you fellow Autobots; keep fighting the noblest of fights."

"You can count on us to keep the peace." Bee said.

 "Above all, do not lament my absence for in my spark, I know that this is not the end...but merely a new beginning. Simply put, another transformation." Opitmus finished.

Nova had been quiet through the duration of his speech, though several tears threatening to fall, but now stepped towards him. He reached out and pulled her into a hug for one last time.

"I'm really going to miss you, Sire......" Nova whispered sadly.

"As do I." He replied, hugging her tightly. He placed a kiss on her helm before pulling away from her. Optimus smiled at them as he turned to the Well and with his last request, he takes off into the sky then dives back down into the well as the group were filled with mixed emotion. Nova clutched her arms around her waist, watching in sadness as they waited.

And the waiting, turned to a sudden bursting sound, Nova snapped her head down to that sound, the sound of the end...which turned to a sound of humming, soft at first as it built up like a stampede, coming from the well, and as quick and sudden as death can be, life came just as fast, as thousands of sparks burst from the well leaving almost star-dust light behind them as they shot to the sky in many colors, to find there place and emerge self-aware of their new surroundings, perhaps not the most appropriate image for their first glimpse on their new world, but like them, Cybertron would emerge a new with their joint efforts.

As they watched all these indirected sparks find their way, one red spark diverted from the path that the rest followed and instead brought itself forward  the group for a moment. It seemed to bounce, before it came over to Nova. 

Nova cupped her hand as the red spark hovered above it. She stared at it for a minute before she hesitated, "Sire?"

The little red ball ran circles around her shoulders for a brief moment, before brushing against her spark chamber. Nova recognizes the warmth feeling as she let out a small laugh and a gentle smile.

"I love you and I'll be sure to make you proud....Sire." She whispered. The red spark glimmered a bit as it pulled away from her before leaving, ascending high as it darted across the planet. 

Bee walked beside Nova and said, "You knew, don't you?

Nova who lowered her head with a sad look as though he already knew her answer. "Yes....Even I want to convince him but his spark and his mind is made up."

"Then why?"

"Because....he's doing what his spark tells him." She told him with sincere.

Later

On the wreckage of the Nemesis, Ratchet was scanning Nova's body in case there are other side effects from Unicron's essence. 

"Well, according to my scan I don't detect any anomalies however the dark energon in your spark chamber still remain and in dormant. It seems that your symbiosis may form a connection, I'm afraid it's impossible to get it out of your system. Which would explained why your optic changed." Ratchet informed.

Nova noted, "So I'm not cured at all.....huh a pity, I guess there's no point removing it."

Ratchet nodded. She had a disappointed look on her face, she hoped that she can rid of the dark energon out of her but now it can't be purged out of her system since she did form the symbiosis. She let out a sigh and said, "Oh well, I guess I'll have to accept that fact."

"Wait....It doesn't upset you at all." 

"Just because I may have changes but....I'm still a Herald of Primus, No matter what." She stated with a smile.

"So.... How are you, er, how are...you holding up?" Ratchet asked.

"Why do you ask? I mean despite the obvious."

"I've seen your limit." He replied a little grimly.

Nova ducked her head, she never thought she could act like that. She did have in the past naturally but, that's where it belongs. "A little weary due to being free from a Chaos Bringer. but there's something else." She looked down for a minute before turning to him again, "Can I admit something?"

"Well I was expecting more honestly."

"I-I'm still feeling...so...so angry."

"I know, as am I. with reason or not it is what it is." He told me.

Nova frowned at her pede as she wiped her optics which was a little strange. "I'm going to miss him, I miss him now."

"If you didn't it, I would have concerns for your health." He said pulling her in. Nova chuckled at his statement. As they head outside, Nova saw her teammates were standing there, discussing about something.

"So, let me get this straight. Optimus, the Optimus Prime form a guardian bond with a squishy?" Knockout said with a daft look about Optimus and Nova.

Bee nodded, "Sounds right."

"And she also happens to be the Herald.....The Herald of Primus!!!"

Smokescreen added, "Seems that way."

"So," Knockout began, "You mean to say, that this entire time that had been chasing her to kill her, not that I want to now, I was trying to kill a Herald?!"

"Not typical terminology, but yes, it seems you were." Ratchet answered.

Knockout shrugged, "Well that explains a lot."

Nova rolled her optics before turning to him, "Well....You did cut me open and try to dissect me for your personal research."

Knockout gulped.

"But don't worry, I don't hold a grudge towards you so I'll tolerate it." She added which Knockout let out a relief.

"Now that our battle with Unicron is finished and the Allspark returned, we must focus our attention on the restoration of Cybertron."Ultra Magnus said.

Nova said, "I hope Cybertron becomes beautiful from before."

Smokescreen said excitedly, "Hey Don't worry Nova..... Once Cybertron is restored, we could show you many places that you never seen before."

Smokescreen kept rambling about the exciting things to show her which Nova chuckled however she recalled what she discuss with Optimus about her choice.

She let out a sigh before turning to her teammates, "You know all my life I've always wonder who I was before until now. This is the moment I've always dreamed of... but...I'm afraid I can't stay here."

Everyone was shocked of what she said as she continued, "My home is on Earth because that is the planet where I was born."

Ultra Magnus said, "Does....Optimus know about this?"

"Yeah....He and I discuss ourselves before I found out about the Allspark."

Flashback

"Sire....." Nova spoke up which caught his attention."Do you recall back on Earth when I was unable to reply? Well, I made my choice....."

Optimus turned to her as she answered, " I decided to remain on Earth."

"Is there a reason?"

"It's not because I didn't want to stay at Cybertron. It's just....my true home is back on Earth. After all, Dr. Login wanted to help people which she was unable to....she saved me before now it's my turn to fulfill her wish and that is....protecting Earth. Just think of it as returning a debt to humanity. I know you want me to stay but I have to find my own way now, my own path since my duty is done. I can't be clinging to you all my life, or I'll never find my own way, I'll never progress if I only look up to you."

His gripped tightened a little, "It is a natural process." He said looking at her, "Why now to say this?"

"Have to fit it in somehow, just thought I'd mention it, in case you worried about me." She shrugged acting as though she couldn't care less.

He stared back at the sky and let out a hum as though he was in thought. "I understand. If that is your choice, I'll respect your decision......."

He turned to her, "But, if you ever find yourself in a predicament, always remember that I will be there to help you wherever we are, you do not need to abandon this tie completely." He said as she puffed a laugh. "Do not speak as though you are alone either."

She leaned up against him placing a cupped hand over his torso, "Thanks..." she said flatly her expression withered.

End of Flashback

"After thinking about it, I want to fulfill Dr. Login wishes so  I... I wish to stay on Earth beside I finally know where I belong."

After listening to her explanation, her teammates felt disheartened that Nova decided to remain on Earth. Wheeljack said, "Are you sure? Even if you stay on Earth, you do realize you'll be the only one there."

"I don't consider myself alone, as long as Cybertrons still lives whenever I looked up among the stars. I know that I'm not alone beside....Optimus is with me, and all of you are with me as well. No matter how far apart, you'll always be with me."

Bee said, "what if we need you, Nova?"

"Hey, You heard what Sire said to all of you; you have all shown the act of a Prime. You do not need me to guide you because you have all grown into leaders. You can do it without me. Even my duty is over but I'm still a Herald of Primus. And don't worry if Cybertron is ever in trouble, you know where to find me."

Everyone stared at her with a warm smile. It was time for her to go back to Earth, Ratchet also planned to head back as well since he is needed on Earth. "You guys are going to be alright?" Nova asked.

"Don't worry I think we have plenty of hands now." Smokescreen said.

"Excluding yours right? We don't want Cybertron going down the tube already" Nova jested.

"You jerk." He said folding his arms.

"I guess Earths off your radar for a while?"

Ultra Magnus made himself known, "Your presence here, is welcome. The Spacebridge will always be accessible to you and our other human friends." He told her.

"That would be helpful...." 

He nodded  as he looked ahead towards the ship, "Let's see if we can even, return you home." He said ever so casually. Campy hopped on her shoulder as Nova assured, "That's alright, We'll just used the shortcut."

Everyone was confused what she meant, even Ratchet as they watch Nova stretched her hand out when a blink of a light, a staff appeared on her servo, much to their surprise.

(A/N Any one of you wonder why I post this again, in case you forgotten what it looked like.)

Knockout said, "Woah, Shiny....."

Smokescreen said, looking confused and shock, "Wha....? Nova, how...? I thought you said you couldn't summon it."

"Huh..." Nova questioned before a thought of realization came to her. "Oh that....I sort of figure it out that I can only called out to it when I needed it, not I wanted it."

Nova turned to them as she said, "I guess this is goodbye..." staring at their teammates. "Oh man....it's so heartbreaking.....If I want to say my farewells to you all, I should let it out." as Campy hopped onto Ratchet's shoulder. She first turned to Bee, "Bee, Better watch your frame because what I'm going to say might make it rust."

"I need a new design anyway." He said.

"Don't forget about Raf, okay?"

Yeah..." he said lightly but also with sorrow for remembrance of him, "You tell him I'm still serious about just being a bridge away." he lifted his arms a little tensing fingers as he moved forward to hug her, at first she was never a hugger except Optimus. But she wanted to make it her last, she decided to let it in. As she rested her head on his shoulder as she hugged him back, but she had to retract but still showing appreciation as she moved down the group, "Hey Smokey...."

"Come at me then." He said throwing his fists up in front of his face.

Nova clasped her hands together rubbing them, "'Ya'll ready for this?'...first off stay away from politics." She grinned goofily.

"Haaa..."

"What? It's all I ever say.....*sigh* You try to improve morale, the attitude, give the bots that sense of energy because unlike you they have seen too much reality and have grown tired. You have good intentions with your words but sometimes come out wrong because of your naivety. Maybe you're not the best bot to talk to, but you do listen at least." She said smiling though she may have just contradicted herself.

"That was it?" he said. "Wow...bland, in a losing a sense of purpose in life kind of way."

She threw her arms up, "Screw it."

"No-No-No." he said grabbing her shoulder. "I'm good- I'm good you didn't even call me dumb once, well this time...and not directly. An-and that's translation for? You care?" he said confused. "Th-That's just confused me even more."

"Take it for whatever you want." Nova said as she tapped her palms against her hips.

"Gee...Thanks for not rubbing that in my face...But it kind of sucks that I came in so late, I barely know anything of Earth, or all the fun places Bees mentioned if there's any at all I still don't believe him. But hey, we'll come back right?" he said.

"Just take it easy, okay? And scrape a knee or something Bubble-bot." She jested.

He then slowly but awkwardly lifted his arms in front of him, "Er, this is right. R-right?" he said awkwardly. "Come on Bee did it."

"Y-eah I think I'll take lead here." She said lightly hugging him then stepping back Smokescreen loosened his shoulders.

"So, see you around?"

"Sure, just stay away from fire and pointy objects."

"Your not going to stop are you? If I say I'm offended by that does that mean I get to whack you back?"

Nova rolled her optics. "Arcee." She started softly as she inhaled a little nervous as she stood a little awkward in stance, "I'm so glad that I was able to get to know when we first met, at first I thought I was the only one whose being distance with my feelings. After getting to know you and spending time with Jack and June, I was able let out my feelings. You know, I thought of you as.....I didn't want to admit it....A big sister to me and I'm proud how you turned out to be."

Arcee seems touched by her words and said, "Well, I'm proud to fight alongside you.....and supporting me to the end. Thank you Nova."

"Maybe next time I visit, we'll swap stories one day ."

"Well, we're still not really there yet but, we've still got time." 

"Better work fast then." Nova said nodding a farewell.

"Don't push it, kid." she said.

Moving along, Nova started to become solemn again. "Bulkhead...I used to talk to you on good terms actually, Miko made that barely able heh but that's how it's supposed to be. Guardian and charge, a duo." She said.

"When I came to this planet, I thought the human race was a jerk, the soldiers were jerks, the government were jerks, you were...er, strange." Bulkhead said.

"What's that suppose to mean?" 

"When I first met you, you were a bit messy, and sometimes watch you take a nap somewhere. You even eat some much as well."

She scratched her helm in embarrassment as a heard a blurted laugh from Smokescreen, it was also really quiet in the background... "I-I-I don't r-remember any-any of that." She stuttered.

"I might not be skilled at many things but my memory is crystal clear." he said tapping his head.

"Ok-Okay so I ruined your impression of our race, bu-but then came Miko ri-right?"

He lowered his head, "Right, I never expected her. Its different when you have your own charge."

"She did change your perspective about our world, maybe not its individuals but her in particular at least got you to drop the 'fleshy' word. I know this sounds cruel but, when your situations were dire, she became more aware of what was at stake and the risks involved. It didn't change her as a person though because of that and that's reliving, but she is capable of being reserved."

"Not sure I agree with you on that."

"Well all opinion really. You sure can take a beating though...But no more from now on I hope."Nova twitched her fingers as a small wave.

Turning to Wheeljack, "Jackie....good grief I can't keep up with you, or what you're thinking, but your defiantly the rebellious adrenaline of this group. But er, lower the use of grenades huh? There novelty is kind of wearing down."

"Wearing down. Wearing down? What are you the grenade dictator?"

"Yeah because that's a real thing." Nova said sarcastically. "Stay for a while on here this time."

"Well from the looks of things, I won't have any plans." He said. "You take care of yourself."

Nova smiled before turning to Knockout who spoke, "So um....your still not hiding your grudge, are you?"

"Me? Oh no....I don't hold grudges, your just doing what you were told. I'm glad you know which side your on." Nova said with a smile which Knockout seem to be proud of himself. However, her smile was dropped before she added with a threat, "Also, if you ever try to betray them or do something behind their backs, I would personally make your finish even more worse as if it never shined again!"

Knockout shuddered in fear, "Uh....Sure....I will."

Nova walked towards to Ultra Magnus, "Ultra Magnus, take good care of them and Cybertron, alright?"

"I will....." He replied.

As she moved away from her teammates before turning to them, "There's one last request I want you all to do...." She took deep breathe before announcing, "Don't tell anyone about my existence, I want Earth to be safe so that no one knows who I am."

Her teammates glanced at each other before Bumblebee replied, "We'll make sure your secret is safe with us."

Nova nodded before narrowing her optics at Knockout who blurted, "I know.... I know don't tell anyone."

Satisfied, she pointed her staff  then shot out a beam of light in front of them and created a blue light-filled portal before their optics.

Ratchet said stunned, "By the Allspark...." as he watched her staff disappeared.

 "I know we've been each other for a really long time. After spending time with you, I have come to see you all as my family and I'm going to miss all of you so much." Nova stated which her teammates were touched by her words.

 She looked up in the sky, thinking about Optimus, "For now, your gone. I need to remind myself this, True or not that you will come back, someone like me can't hold onto that anymore to get me by, to look out windows and waste time, time that I can be using if I want to pursue my own path. You come back or you don't...why can't I say that without clenching my fists? *sigh* With Cybertron bright again, I could see it in the sky at night, maybe."

Then she felt a hand on her shoulder again, "Time to go." Ratchet said becoming aware of her sudden jolt that came as well. Campy hopped onto her shoulder once more,  Nova turn her head to behind her before making a quick turn back, She have said her farewells and have to let them get on with their lives, and hers. As both of them entered the portal before closing behind itself.

When they reached on the other side, they saw Jack, Miko, Raf and June along with Fowler who were smiling, greeted with joy to see them. Nova transformed into her human form with Campy hopping onto her shoulder. 

"Hey everyone.....I'm back." She said with a smile.
