Prologue:

"Earth. Birthplace of the human race. A species much like our own. Capable of great compassion."

The screen shows the past of Humans and getting eaten by a cybertronian. A person watching flinches at the crunching noise that the fallen makes and scrunched up their face.

"I can never get over that," They muttered quietly.

"...and great violence. For in our quest to protect the humans, a deeper revelation dawns. Our worlds have met before."

☆Shanghai, China, 22:14 hrs☆

"Blackhawks, you're clear to land." Was heard in my headset. I grinned.

"You ready Jazz?" I asked the silver bot that I just happened to be sitting in. I was always assigned to Jazz for these types of missions. I think it was Optimus and Jazz's idea for it as well as Will's. All because of that one mission.

"When am I not, lil' Jaz," Jazz chuckled. I poked my tongue out at him which looked odd in the N.E.S.T uniform.

"Don't get cocky now, who was it who saved your aft in Mission City?" I smirked. I heard an "oooh" through the coms.

"Oh shut ya trap, Mudflap," Jazz grumbled. I laughed.

"Ding-a-ling! Come out and get yo' ice cream. Any bad robot out there better get ready for an ass-whuppin'." Skids called out as he and Mudflaps drove around. I grinned as we pulled by the building.

For the last two years, an advance team of new Autobots has taken refuge here under my command.

"Arcees, get ready to launch." Will commandeered through the coms. I was always confused when people called them the twins. I mean come on, they're triplets not twins.

"We're locked and loaded." Arcee comed.

Together, we form an alliance with the humans. A secret but brave squad of soldiers.

"All right, listen up. China's cover story on this one is toxic spill. They had to evac the area for search and rescue. This makes six enemy contacts in eight months. We gotta make sure this one does not get out in the public eye, so keep it tight." Will said as we got out and ready.

A classified strike team called NEST. We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes, hiding in different countries around the globe.

"Roll in Alpha through Echo now." A soldier, James Areste, said through the coms. Sideswipe came rolling past, I gave him a wave and he flashed his lights at me.

"Move out! Let's go!" Someone shouted as the others moved out. I had to stay with Jazz at all times. Primus, it's like I have three dad's. Optimus, Will and Jazz, though Jazz is more like the protective best friend.

"All right, Ironhide, Jazz. We got echoes. Vamos. Steel stacks at 2 o'clock!" Will said. He patted Ironhide's hood before stand to keep an eye out. I smiled as Jazz transformed and stretched. It never stops amazing me how they can do that.

"He's here. I smell him." Ironhide said after he sniffled.

"'Course ya can," Jazz chuckled as he transformed his servo into a gun. I clocked my gun as I gave the Ironhide an amused grin and followed behind my guardian.

"It's close. It's getting closer." Graham said through the coms. He was back at base.

"Red light." Edwards said quietly through the coms.

"Oh no." Epps muttered. I perked up at that, Jazz noticed and paused before moving on. Maybe for once they'll let me help.

"What've you got?" Will's voice asked through the coms.

"Thermal ripple." Epps replied.

"Right, everybody, be steady... We're right on top of it." Will said before something crashed over the coms. Jazz quickly picked me up and looked around. I pouted. They keep treating me like a baby. I mean sure everyone is like late thirties early forties and up and I'm 19 almost 20 but still.

There was roaring and the sound of people screaming. I had to take off the headset.

"Can't they scream quietly?" I mumbled as I winced, rubbing my ear. Jazz chuckled my pain. I poked my tongue out at him.

"Eagle-niner!" Will's voice came faintly through the headset. I quickly put on the headset again.

"I need an energy proton!" Will shouted, I could hear him without the headset. Jazz put me on the ground again. I shivered. For some reason their metal was really warm. And the electric shocks that Jazz's armor gave me still, made me feel empty inside when I lost contact with him for ages.

"Panther One, requesting fire mission now!" Epps shouted as I heard the sound of roaring in the distance.

"We got a second Decepticon." I looked up at Jazz when the guy said that. Jazz had already transformed and had his door open for me. I smiled and climbed in

"J's, Arcee, Twins! Target coming your way!" Will called as we sped away from our original position. We didn't get far before the twins were screwing up.

"I got 'im, I got 'im!" Mudflap said through the com link that only few humans got that let us communicate with the Autobots.

"Watch it, watch it-" Skids warned his brother before I heard a crash.

"Oof! Ah! Yah! I screwed that up... I'm okay. I'm all right." Mudflaps said.

"This is comba-," Okay yes, I took the com out. Have you heard how much those two fight?

"Bring in Sideswipe!" Will said over the link as Jazz transformed, we had practiced this so many times that I landed running before going to higher ground, Jazz ran off to go help Sideswipe.

"Clear a path!" Sideswipe called after I put the Bot com in. I heard the sounds of blades slicing metal and a gunshot before it went silent for a couple seconds.

"Damn- I'm good!" Sideswipe said happily.

"Keep telling yaself that, kid," Jazz teased. I looked at the distance as a decepticon roared as he rolled away.

"Air support, we need Big Buddha to deliver the drop now!" Epps said through the human coms. My eyes widened, they needed Optimus for this one. Jazz quickly grabbed me and transformed before speeding off after the decepticon.

When we got there Optimus had already gotten the con to stop. Jazz dropped me off and I joined Will and Epps holding our guns up.

"Punk ass Decepticon!" Ironhide growled out as Jazz joined him and Optimus.

"Any last words?" Optimus asked holding his gun to the cons head.

"This is not your pla-anet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again and the girl shall be ours," the con choked out. Will and I gave each other a look. That did not sound good.

"That doesn't sound good." Epps voiced my thoughts. I shuddered. Please tell me we're not going to have another battle like Chicago, at least for a while.

"Not today. Not ever," Optimus told the con before shooting it. Jazz quickly sped over to me. The other humans used to our friendship quickly backed up as Jazz flipped and transformed landing in front of me. I grinned as he opened his door.

"Ready lil' Jaz?" He asked through his radio.

"Aren't I always," I teased, getting chuckles from my teammates as I hopped in, Jazz then drove us back to the plane to go back to base.

☆NEST Classified Operations - Diego Garcia☆

"Autobot Twins, report to Hangar Three." a Male voice said over the speaker as we arrived. I gave a chuckle when the twins went in. They'd been waiting for an update for ages.

Later when they were showing the coffins, "Present arms!" A soldier said. We saluted to the many that had died. Will and I looked up when a helicopter flew down. Will motioned for me to follow him. I bit my lip in nervousness. I really didn't want to deal with him

"Director Galloway, what an honor. I'd love to show you around, but you gotta be on the classified access list." Will said. Galloway slapped a paper into Will's chest and I gritted my teeth as he looked at it.

"I am now. Presidential order, Major. I got a message for your classified space buddies! You guys made a mess of Shanghai." Galloway said. Will sent me a look telling me to back down. I breathed heavily through my nose. I really hate it when he goes on about the Autobots ruining things.

"All right, so this is where we communicate with the JCS and this area serves as the Autobots' hangar." Will said to Galloway as we walked inside. Jazz flashed his lights at me when Galloway wasn't looking. I sent a grateful smile at him before focusing back on the horrible task I had been given thanks to Will.

"Secure link to JCS is up, Major!" Jefferson called.

"Secure line to Pentagon is now open." Alterith told us.

"General?" Will said putting on his confidant mask for the General.

"Will, I saw the Shanghai op." Morshower said grimly.

"We had a rough day out there." the general added.

"Yes, sir. We have intel that I believe warrants an immediate debrief. Now with your permission, I can't let you see him, but I would like you to hear from the leader of the Autobots." Will told him.

"Proceed." Morshower nodded. Optimus transformed then.

"You got to wonder, if God made us in his image, who made him?" I heard Epps mutter to Galloway causing the sides of my mouth to twitch in amusement.

"General, our alliance has countermanded six Decepticon incursions this year, each on a different continent. They're clearly searching around the world for something. But last night's encounter came with a warning." Optimus said.

"The Fallen shall rise again and the girl shall be ours," The recording of last night's Decepticon played.

"The Fallen. Meaning what? And what girl?," Morshower asked.

"Origin unknown. The only recorded history of our race was contained within the Allspark and lost with its destruction. We are unsure what the decepticons mean by the girl as there are many possibilities to this," Optimus said. I'm sure I felt several eyes on me at that point. I was the one who told Sam to use the cube to kill big M, I was one of the few girls or women on base and everyone knew about the relationship between me and the first lieutenant of the Autobots.

"Excuse me! With this so-called Allspark now destroyed, why hasn't the enemy left the planet like you thought they would?" Galloway jumped in then. I had to bite my lip so hard it started to bleed slightly. Will looked at me in concern before focusing back on the screen.

"Director Galloway, our National Security Advisor. The President just appointed him liaison. Which, to a...." Will trailed off as Morshower started to speak.

"Well, I guess I didn't get that memo." Morshower said rolling his eyes. I had to move away from the screen to hide my small smile.

"Forgive the interruption, General. Excuse me. Coming through. Excuse me. Excuse me, soldier. Um. After all the damage in Shanghai, the President is, um, hard-pressed to say the job's getting done. Now, under the classified Alien-Autobot Cooperation Act, you agreed to share your intel with us, but not your advancements in weaponry." Galloway said. My jaw tightened as well as Will's. We both knew that he was trying to coax secrets out of the Autobots. Weapon secrets that we, as the human race, did not need.

"We've witnessed your human capacity for war. It would absolutely bring more harm than good." Optimus said pointing his index finger at the man.

"But who are you to judge what's best for us?" Oh thank primus that my self control has gotten better over the past two years or otherwise Galloway would be on the ground right now. I could feel my nails price my skin and blood start to flow.

"With all due respect, we've been fighting side by side in the field for two years." Will cut in.

"We've shed blood, sweat and precious metal together." Epps said stepping up to speak. My heart swelled for the man as I tried to hide my hands behind my back.

"Soldier, you're paid to shoot, not talk." Galloway snipped at him. My fists clenched even harder.

"Don't tempt me." Epps muttered. My lips twitched.

"And the, ah, newest members of your team-" Galloway started. I growled lowly and Will had to send me a look before he noticed the blood dripping slightly from my hands.

"Easy." Optimus warned. I'm not sure if he was warning me, Galloway, Epps or some random soldier by his feet.

"I understand they arrived here after you sent a message into space, an open invitation to come to Earth, vetted by no one at the White House." Galloway said before, thankfully for me, getting stopped by Morshower.

"Let me stop you right there, mister Galloway. It was vetted right here. And in my experience, the judgment of Mrs Bass, Major Lennox and his team has always been above reproach." Morshower told the man. I swelled in pride. Thank you, Morshower.

"Well, be that as it may, General, it is the position of the President that when our national security is at stake... No one is above reproach. Now, what do we know so far? We know that the enemy leader, classified NBE-One a.k.a. Megatron, is rusting in peace at the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss, surrounded by SOSUS detection nets and a full-time submarine surveillance. We also know that the only remaining piece of your alien Allspark is locked in an electromagnetic vault here on one of the most secure naval bases in the world." Galloway went on. For some reason my heart sank.

"And since no one can seem to tell me what the enemy is now after. Well, there's only one clear conclusion! You! The Autobots! They're here to hunt you! What's there to hunt for on Earth besides that? The Fallen shall rise again? It sounds to me like something's coming. So. Let me ask, if we ultimately conclude that our national security is best served by denying you further asylum on our planet, will you leave? Peacefully?" 

I tried to keep my face blank as I clenched both my jaw and my fists, blood dripping heavily from them now, even tighter. Okay, I admit it, I almost bursted into laughter when I saw Optimus' unamused face. 

But Galloway seriously cannot be saying this. They can't leave without us dying. The Autobot are the ones protecting the planet. Once they're gone, guess what's gonna happen.

"Freedom is your right. If you make that request, we will honor it. But... before your President decides, please ask him this: What if we leave... and you're wrong?" Optimus asked the idiot. Well, in my opinion, he's just a massive idiot.

"That's a good question." Will said.

I stood in my corner as the "Liaison" was lead away by Guinness. Will came up to me.

"Hands," He said holding out his own.

"Sorry," I muttered as I unclenched my hands and lay them on his, closing my eyes so I couldn't see his reaction. I still heard a slight intake of breath.

"You need to find better ways," Will murmured to me as he inspected them. I nodded.

"Go get them bandaged then go get some air with Jazz," He told me. I nodded again. He sighed.

"Mouth as well?" he asked. I shamefully looked at my feet.

"I hate how he treats them," I whispered taking my hands back and hiding them behind my back. As well as trying to hide any blood that people could see in my mouth. I'd have to brush my teeth after this.

"Understandable," Will gave me a smile.

"Now go," He ordered me and I gave him a grateful smile before heading to the infirmary.

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇

"Lil' Jaz," Jazz said softly, his optics growing sad, as I came up to him with my hands bandaged. Nokia on my shoulder, as I had retrieved him from my room.

"I'm sorry," I muttered again today.

"Time to go?" Jazz asked. He knew the drill by now. If I got seriously mad, didn't often happen unless I was forced to be near or talk to Galloway, we would go and leave base for a while until I calmed down. That way I didn't break half the things in base and half the bones in my body. Again.

"We have Will's permission," I nodded to him. He gave me a grin before transforming in front of me. He opened his door and I climbed in. After a quick chat with the gatekeeper, who also knew the drill by now, we were off.

♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤

"Optimus to Jazz," The com interrupted our peace. My face took on a frown as Jazz looked down at me and Nokia before touching the side of his helm.

"Jazz here with Jazlyn," Jazz replied.

"I am going to need assistance with the boy," Optimus said.

"On our way, Optimus," Jazz said. His hand fell down from his helm.

"Well, that's over," I shrugged standing up to stretch, Nokia wobbling a bit, as Jazz transformed back into his alt mode.

"Ready?" He asked as his door opened.

"When am I not?" I joked as Nokia held onto me.

♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡

"Huh. You won't give me a day, huh? You won't give me one day in college?" Sam said grumbly. Jazz and I were standing, well he was in car form while I stood with Nokia on my shoulder again, by a run down building in the cemetery. I frowned as I felt a chill come over me. Jazz nudged me. I smiled at him before focusing on Optimus and Sam.

"I'm sorry, Sam, but the last fragment of the Allspark was stolen." Optimus told the boy. Hell, I was shocked when I heard about it an hour ago. Still am be honest.

"Like what? Like Decepticons stole it?" Sam asked. I almost laughed. How stupid could you be? Of course they did.

"We placed it under human protection at your government's request. But I'm here for your help, Sam. Because your leaders believe we brought vengeance upon your planet. Perhaps they are right. That is why they must be reminded by another human of the trust we share."

"What about Jazlyn there? This isn't my war, Optimus," Sam tried to reason. I rolled my eyes. It's not just their war anymore. We have joined in so we have have to fight or we'll die. And I'm not letting them fight, almost die every day without me. They're my family now.

"Not yet. But I fear it soon will be. Your world must not share the same fate as Cybertron. Whole generations lost." Optimus said gravely. My heart sunk at the thought. Their planet was already gone. Most of their kind were offline or lost to the stars. Nokia was the last one made by the Allspark.

"I know, and I... I want to help you, I do, but I am not some alien ambassador, you know? I'm a normal kid with normal problems. I am where I'm supposed to be. I'm sorry. I... I really am." Sam said to Optimus.

"Sam, fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing." Optimus said as the boy started walking back to Bumblebee so he could go back to that frightful place. Glad I'm not going there. Especially since I get to work with the Autobots and Jazz.

"You're Optimus Prime. You don't need me." Sam said as he got in Bumblebee. I frowned.

"We do. More than you know." Optimus said sadly.

"Sorry we weren't much help, Optimus," I said once Sam and Bumblebee had left.

"Thank you for coming out," Optimus said. I nodded as Jazz moved close in his car form.

"Call if ya need us boss," Jazz told him. I swear I saw the corners of his lips lift in a smile. Long story but one day when I was half asleep I accidentally called Optimus "Boss-bot" and Jazz had laughed like crazy and refused to stop using it, except for missions (Jazz said he had a reputation to uphold).

Optimus nodded and I took that as my cue to leave as Jazz opened his door. I paused before going in and looked back at Optimus who was watching the sunrise. I smiled before jumping in Jazz, (Never stops making me feel weird when I think that) and he sped off.

♧3rd POV♧

"Starscream, I'm home." Megatron roared as he arrived on a ship on Saturn.

"Lord Megatron, I was... so relieved to hear of your resurrection." Starscream stammered.

"You left me to die on that pathetic insect planet." Megatron growled as he grabbed Starscream.

"Only to help spawn our... new army. The Fallen decrees it! After all, in your absence, someone had to take command." Starscream said making Megatron growl in anger. Starscream yelped din fear.

"So disappointing." Megatron said as the hatchling mewed weakly.

"Hatchlings! Hatchlings! Careful, fragile!" Starscream panicked.

"Even in death, there is no command but mine."

"No, no, no-" Starscream watched as it died before Megatron walked away.

"My master, I failed you on Earth. The Allspark is destroyed and without it, our race will perish."

"Oh, you have much to learn, my disciple. The Cube was merely a vessel. Its power, its knowledge, can never be destroyed. It can only... trans... form." The Fallen coughed.

"How is that possible?" Megatron asked his teacher.

"It has been absorbed by the human children. The key to saving our race now lies within his mind and her soul." The Fallen told his apprentice

"Well then, let me strip the very flesh from their bodies!" Megatron growled lowly.

"And you will, my apprentice, in time. For millennia, I have dreamed of my return to that wretched planet where I, too, was once betrayed by the Primes I called my brothers. Only a Prime can defeat me, and now, only one remains." The Fallen said happily.

"Optimus! He protects the boy. And the girl is often found with the first lieutenant." Megatron growled in anger.

"Then the boy will lead us to him. The girl will come to aid the prime with her guardian. And revenge will be ours." The Fallen said.

"Yes." Megatron agreed before growling as Starscream joined them.

"The boy will not escape us. We have him in our sights. The girl is with her guardian nearby. Without more Energon, the hatchlings will keep dying!" Starscream reported.

♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤

"Major, incoming SOS from Autobots!" A soldier called to Will as he entered the hangar.

"The Autobots and Jazlyn are on the move, splitting into two teams, sir. They're not answering our calls and they're heading to New York and Philadelphia." A soldier reported to Will Lennox.

"All right, full weapons deployment. Wheels up in 20 minutes!" Will commandeered.

"What hell are you doing, Jazlyn?" He mumbled to himself before moving to get ready.

"All clear!"

"Move it!"

"Let's go!"

♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇

"-That's what I'm seeing in my head." Sam said looking at the projections.

"These symbols can lead us to the Energon source. Now all we need is the girl." Megatron said, his voice fullied with relief and excitement for the future. 

"We must have the brain! On the table! Chop chop!" The doctor robot said.

"Mikaela? Wait, Brain? What does he mean by- by my brain?" Sam stammered forgetting the part about the girl.

"Well, you have something on your mind, something I need." Megatron said.

"Hold on. I- I know you're pissed. I know you're pissed. Because I tried to kill you and, and it's completely understandable. Somebody tried to kill me, I'd be upset, too." Sam tried to reason.

"I... think that we have an opportunity here to start anew and... and develop our relationship and see where it leads us, okay? So, you just call Doctor Inspector off and let's just talk for five seconds! Wait, wait, wai-" Sam rambled as Optimus and Bumblebee burst into the building.

"Come on! Go, go!" Leo shouted as he and the two ran.

"Sam!" Mikaela called.

"Go, go, go! Move!" Leo shouted again.

"No!" Megatron roared.

"Sam!" Optimus called out. Sam got into Optimus.

"Run! Go, go, go, go, go!!" Leo shouted as Bumblebee arrived for Mikaela and Leo.

♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇

"Sam! Where are you?" Optimis shouted as he finished with the decepticons.

"No!" Optimus screamed as a blade pierced through his spark

"You're so weak!" Megatron said as he fired a blast into Optimus's spark. Optimus fell to the ground.

"Sam, run. Ru..." Optimus uttered out before he went offline

"Autobots, attack!" Ironhide shouted as he, the autobots and Jazlyn appeared.

Jazlyn froze in shock behind them, as her guardian attacked with the rest of the autobots. Her father figure for the past two years had been offlined.

"Bumblebee, get them and Jazlyn out of here!" Ratchet called out. Bumblebee grabbed the three civilians, then Sam grabbed Jazlyn into the passenger seat before he sped off.

♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡

"This is Lennox..." the man said from a plane as he got a com from Ironhide. His face and heart fell. For the Autobots, his comerades and Jazlyn.

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇

"That went well." Megatron said.

"We've... lost the boy and the girl, Master. The Autobots must be shielding their signals." Starscream reported to the war lord.

"I can't even rely on you-" Megatron growled as he started attacking him.

"Sorry- no! No!" Starscream begged.

"-to swat two simple insects?" Megatron continued.

"Two insects among seven billion!" Starscream tried to reason.

"Shut up." Megatron growled.

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇

"Citizens of the human hive, your... leaders have withheld the truth. You are not alone in this universe. We have lived among you. Hidden. But no more. As you've seen, we can destroy your cities at will, unless you turn over this... boy and girl... If you resist us, we will destroy the world as you know it."

♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡

I stood next to Mudflap and Skids numb to the world as Sam, Mikaela and who I believed to be Sam's roommate conversed.

"Yo, Le-yo!" Mudflaps shouted making new look up. I could only imagine what I looked like.

"This thing's gonna give me a heart attack, I swear." Leo muttered. I couldn't even bring myself to laugh at him. I lost my Mom when i was born. I lost my dad in the soccent base attack. I almost lost Jazz in Chicago, I lost teammates over the last two years, I almost died once, and now I've lost Optimus and I've been spilt up from Jazz.

"That's 'cause yous a wuss." Mudflaps told the annoying boy as he and his brother stood next to me protectively. I was sort of like their sister in their optics. I hung out with them and put up with their bickering for ages and managed to befriend them over the last two years.

"You guys forced me into that car, right, so-" Leo started.

"Ooh, I think he's scared." Mudflap snickered.

"Hey, Mudflap, what are we gonna do with this shrimp taco?" Skids said to his brother but he shot me a glance.

"Let's pop a cap in his ass, throw him in the trunk and then nobody gonna know nothing, know what I mean?" Mudflap told his brother.

"Not in my trunk." Skids said.

"Yo, bumper cars?" Leo said looking at the twins.

"Bumper cars?" Skids said offended.

"Cut it out. I'm hearing you. Okay? I'm right here and I can hear you! No one's popping any caps in any asses, okay? I've had a hell! Of a day!" Leo said to them. I glared at him, the first emotion that I showed since O-o-optimus offlined. How dare he say he's had a hard day. He hasn't lost another person in his family has he?

Mudflap stuck his tongue out at Leo when he saw me glaring. "Why don't you get a haircut with your bitch ass?" Skids snarked at Leo.

"Go whine to your boyfriend!" Mudflaps added. The twins looked at me concerned. I gave then a tiny smile, it was all I could manage at this time, and they grinned happy that I was feeling the tiniest of bits better.

"Listen, Sam, I know what I'm gonna do, man. Look, I'm just going to go to the authorities and tell them the truth. Like, I had nothing to do with this. So I'm not an accomplice." Leo talked to Sam.

My emotions snapped at that. Thankfully for me the twins noticed and quickly grabbed me. "You son of a bitch!" I shouted at him before Skids put his servo over my mouth as I fumed. Leo looked at me scared as Sam walked up to him.

"Hey, hey, you wanted this, right? You wanted the real deal? Well, that's what this is. Wake up! You're in the middle of it! You want to run? Go ahead! No one's stopping you. Stop complaining." Sam told the boy.

♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇

"What is the meaning of this?" Sideswipe asked as guns were pulled on them.

"Wha' y'all doin'?" Jazz shouted at the humans. He was still upset that his leader had been offlined and that Jazlyn had been taken away from him. Without Jazlyn to calm the normally calm First Lieutenant down things were going to get messy if things didn't calm down.

"You dare point a gun at me? You want a piece of me? I will tear you apart!" Ironhide growled as he and the other autobots fired up their weapons in defence.

"Drop your weapons! Drop your weapons!" the N.E.S.T soldiers shouted.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Drop your weapons!"

"Tell them to lower their weapons!" Will shouted slamming his hands on a car.

"Tell them first." A military soldier countered.

"Tell them to lower their weap-"

"Major, there's nothing I can do. Talk to him." the military soldier said pointing to Galloway who was getting out of the car.

"Your NEST team is deactivated, Major. You are to cease anti-Decepticon operations and return to Diego Garcia pending further orders." Galloway said walking up.

"No, we take our orders directly from Chairman Morshower, sir." Will said. He wanted to get his sister back so she didn't have to be on the run or without her best friend slash guardian for long. Experience shows that it is not good to keep the two apart for long periods of time.

"Well, I'll see your Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and I will raise you a President of the United States. I have operational command now. An alien blood feud has been brought to our shores for which our soldiers are paying the price. The secret is out! This is our war now. And we will win it as we always have, with a coordinated military strategy." Galloway said firmly.

"This fool is terribly misinformed." Ratchet said frowning.

"You're gonna need every asset that you've got." Will told Galloway. His dislike for the man growing.

"What we need is to draw up battle plans while we explore every possible diplomatic solution." Galloway snapped at him.

"Like what, handing over the kid? Handing over Jazlyn Bass?" Will asked Galloway. Fury (Nick Fury!) painted on his face.

"All options are being considered." Galloway told him. Jazz had to clench his servos at that, trying his best not to show how much that bothered him.

"Whatever the Decepticons are after, this is just the start." Graham told Galloway making the man stop and look at him.

"There is no negotiating with them." Will added.

"I'm ordering you to stand down. You won't be needing this anymore." Galloway took Will's badge off of him. Jazz and Ironhide (the two had grown fond of him as they spent many hours at the Lennox farm. And Jazlyn thought of the man as if he was her brother, so Jazz had gotten to know him.) had to hold their anger in.

"Get your assets back to base! And take that pile of scrap metal back to Diego Garcia. Let's go!" Galloway shouted. The autobots fury grew when the man disrespected the remains of Optimus.

"I really don't like that dude. He's a asshole." Epps muttered.

"As Jazlyn would say: When is he not?" Will muttered to him. Epps smiled.

"Autobots, report to hangar for transport." someone said over the loudspeaker.

"Ironhide, Jazz, we should leave this planet." Ratchet said.

"That's not what Optimus would want." Ironhide replied.

"We've got ta finish this," Jazz added. Ratchet nodded. The Autobots knew that Jazz just wanted to get Jazlyn back safe and sound away from the decepticons.

♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡

"There's nothing that you could have done." Mikaela told Sam as they hugged.

"You okay?" Sam asked her when they parted. I almost scoffed from where I was sitting in between the twins. Of course she's okay, she didn't really know Optimus at all.

"Yeah." Mikaela told him

"Bee, if you hate me, I understand." Sam said turning to Bumblebee.

"I messed up. I'm sorry." Sam apologized to Bumblebee again.

"Young fella, you are the person I care about most in my life. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away." Bumblebee played for Sam.

"He's dead because of me. He came here to protect me and he's dead." Sam started to self pity himself.

"There's some things you just can't change. So, his sacrifice for us would not have been in vain. Hallelujah!" Bumblebee played again.

"I'm gonna make it right. I'm going to turn myself in." Sam said. That's it, fuck it. I stood up and slapped him. The sound of it echoing around the place.

"Don't you dare let Optimus have died in vain just because you couldn't deal with the pressure," I growled at him. My face still had tear tracks painted on.

"I wouldn't dare let his sacrifice go in vain, so if you try to turn yourself in I will kill you before the decepticons can even touch you," I told him with a glare. I've changed over two years. I've seen too many people die and I'm not letting this boy, this civilian ruin everything Optimus did.

Everyone watched as I stormed away. I hid from them in a building that had a couple of couches. It was only after I had made sure that they weren't watching me did I start crying again. Nokia came out of my pocket to comfort me.

"I'm sorry, Nokia," I sniffed trying to calm down.

"You just need time," Nokia said. I nodded.

"I wish Jazz was with us," I admitted as I wiped away my tears. I missed the feeling that Jazz gives me. Feeling whole again. Right now I'm just empty. Nokia nodded.

"Understandable," He said as he patted my arm.

"Suppose we have to go back to them?" I asked jokingly, knowing the answer already.

"Yes. Can't let the decepticons find you," Nokia smiled at my attempt at humor.

"Alright," I sighed. I held my hand for him. He hopped on then climbed to my shoulder as I stood up.

"I'm not apologizing to Sam for slapping him," I told him.

"I wouldn't either," Nokia said, smiling at me. I laughed quietly as I walked back to them.

"-Hey, you know the glyphs?"

"Uh..." Mudflaps said unsure. I frowned as I looked at them.

"They're cybertronian," I told Sam making everyone jump.

"And how do you know?" Sam sneered at me. I guess he was upset that I slapped him. And that I "ditched" him for the autobots, Will and N.E.S.T.

"Op - Bossbot showed me a couple one day," I felt ashamed that I couldn't even say his name.

"Whoo, that's, that's old school, yo." Skids said as he realised that they were.

"Oh, that's some serious stuff, right there." Mudflap said backing me and his brother up.

"They gotta mean something, like a message or like a map. Like a map to an Energon source! Can you read this?" Sam asked us, mostly the twins but I knew a couple.

"Read? Uh-" Skids said awkwardly. I gave a small smile.

"You see that? You see that?" Sam asked them.

"We... No. We don't really do much reading. Not so much." Mudflap said.

"If you can't read it, we gotta find somebody who can." Sam said.

"That one means Prime," I said finding the first one Opt- bossbot showed me as somebody came back.

"Look who came sashaying back." Skids mocked the boy.

"Hair growing like a Chia Pet. Look at him. Look at that." Mudflap said to his brother.

"I had a bit of a mild panic attack earlier, right?" Leo said. I rolled my eyes at him. Did we have to bring him?

"That's 'cause you're a pussy." Skids told him before he and his brother were laughing. I let a small chuckle loose. If anyone who can cheer me up that's not Jazz, Will, Sarah, Optimus or Nokia, then it's definitely these two.

"I think I'm allowed that, considering what I've been through. I heard you have a problem. I think I know someone who can help." Leo said. I scoffed at him.

"Who?" Sam asked.

"Robo-Warrior." Leo said and I burst into laughter. Not "oh my God that's so hilarious laughter" but "I've been through so fucking much today and I've just heard the craziest thing.". Which caused everyone to look at me.

♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡

"This guy, Robo-Warrior? Everything about anything alien, he's supposed to know. One time we revenge-hacked his site and maybe, I saw some of your... uh... alien drawings or whatever." Leo said as we pulled up in a Deli. A very familiar Deli.

"This is it. Yep. Deli. Good front! All right, wait here. I'll give you the go no-go. All right?" Leo said.

"Not a chance kid," I snorted and tried to push past him.

"Nah, Nah, I got this." He said going inside. I bit my lip and smirked at the twins who were laughing quietly. They knew what I knew.

"Robo-Warrior. It's him! It's him! That's the guy right there! That's him!" Leo shouted to us pointing at my Uncle as we walked in.

"Hey Uncle," I smirked as the couple and Leo looked at me like I was crazy.

"No." Simmons frowned as he saw Sam and Mikaela. His eyes softened slightly when he spotted me. 

"You've got to be kidding me." Sam said shocked. Bet ya didn't see this coming Sammy boy.

"Nope," I teased as Simmons and I hugged. He let go and started yelling.

"All right, meat store's closed! Everybody out!" Simmons said.

"Out! Right now. That means you, lady, right now." Simmons said to one of his customers.

"Wait a minute. You know this guy?" Leo asked us.

"We're old friends." Sam said. I laughed.

"My dad and I sorta adopted him into our family," I smiled as Sam and Mikaela looked at me shocked.

"Old friends? You're the case that shut down Sector Seven, got the kibosh disbanded. No more security clearance, no retirement, no nothing. All 'cause of you and your little criminal girlfriend. Look at her now, so mature."

"Wait, so you two knew each other when S7 took us?" Sam asked. I smirked and nodded with Simmons.

"Oh my god," Mikaela muttered.

"Moron! Where's the whitefish?" Tora yelled at Simmons before waving at me. I grinned and waved back.

"Hey! Don't touch me with the pig." Yakov snapped at James.

"Yakov!" Simmons called to him.

"What?" Yakov snapped.

"You don't get Christmas bonuses standing around! You want those new teeth you saw on Sky Mall?" Simmons asked Yakov. 

I smiled at the interaction as my other three questers looked out of place. I may or may not have came and visited Simmons and his family deli a couple times over the past two years with Jazz and Nokia. Speaking of the devil, Nokia was vibrating in my pocket.

"It's my dream." Yakov said.

"Help her out." Simmons said motioning to Tora.

"You live with your mama?" Mikaela asked trying and failing to hide her smirk. I frowned. I guess I drifted away from both of them of the two years, if they were treating people I care about like that.

"No, my mama lives with me. It's a big difference. They've got your face all over the news, alien boy." Simmons said before turning to me.

"Why the hell do they want you?" Simmons asked ignoring Sam's "Yeah, I know.".

I shrugged. I honestly had no idea why the decepticons wanted me. Maybe Jazz or Ratchet knew.

"And N.B.E.-one. Still kicking, huh? How did that happen? Don't answer. I don't know what you're hiding, but I don't want anything to do with it. So, good-bye. You never saw me. I got bagels to smear. Vanish." Simmons said and started to walk away.

"I have Nokia," I sung. Simmons stopped.

"Meat locker, now!" Simmons said turning to me with a mock glare. I smiled smugly as Mikaela, Sam and Leo looked at me with wide eyes. We made our way to the meat locker.

"Dead pigs." Sam said in disgust. I easily made my past as Mikaela made a face.

"Yuck." Mikaela said.

"What you're about to see is top secret... Do not tell my mother." Simmons said.

"Do I ever?" I teased. He mock glared at me again. I laughed.

"Swine flu. Not good." Sam said.

"So Sammy idiot here, did something stupid and can now see cybertronian symbols," I told Simmons. He nodded

"Now you know. Next time you eat a goat or a pig, there's a story behind it. Saaad little story." Simmons said as we climbed down the ladder.

"An entire city flat. How do you explain that? Are you saying you believe in aliens now?" A reporter said from on the TV. I frowned.

"Okay, files, files. We're talking about symbols. Ey! still radioactive. Hands off." Simmons told Leo who was looking at an old decepticon head as I bought Nokia out.

"Okay, oooh, Nokia!" Simmons said excitedly. Nokia waved at the sort of crazy man. I smiled as the three looked at him weirdly. Leo was freaking about Nokia appearing out of nowhere.

"Cube-brain. Any of these look like the symbols you saw?" Simmons asked Sam. Huh, guess he did hear me.

"Where did you get these?"

"Before I got fired, I poached S-7's crown jewel, over seventy five years of alien research, which points to one inescapable fact. The Transformers, they've been here a long, long time. How do I know? Archaeologists found these unexplained markings in ancient ruins all over the world. China. Egypt. Greece. Shot in 1932. These the symbols you're seeing in your head?" Simmons asked.

"Yeah." Sam nodded.

"Same ones over here, right? So, tell me, how did they end up all drawing the same things? Aliens. And I think some of them stayed. Check this out. Project: Black Knife. Robots. In disguise. Hiding here all along. We detected radioactive signatures all across the country. I pleaded. On my knees with S-7 to investigate it, but they said the readings were infinitesimal, that I... was... obsessed! Me. Can you imagine that?" Simmons asked disbelievingly. I laughed quietly with Nokia.

"Megatron said that there was another Energon source here." Sam told Simmons. I frowned this was new news to me.

"On Earth." Simmons said

"On Earth." Sam agreed.

"Another source?" Simmons and I asked.

"Okay? And that these symbols, the maps in my head, would lead him there." Sam said. What else are these three not telling me? I looked down at Nokia who looked back at me.

"You talked to your Autobot friends about this?" Simmons asked taking a look at all of us. My expression fell. This was the longest I'd been away from Jazz for a while. Simmons noticed and sent me a sympathetic look before focusing back on Sam.

"No, no, no, the source is before them. Whatever the Energon source is, it predates them. It's before them." Sam said quickly. Simmons looked to me with a raised eyebrow. I nodded and mouthed "twins". He nodded.

"So it comes before them." Simmons said slowly.

"Correct." Sam and I said. Sam glared at me. I narrowed my eyes at him. What the fuck is wrong with him.

"Well, then we're porked, unless we can talk to a Decepticon. I mean, I'm not on speaking terms with them." Simmons chuckled.

"Actually, I am." Mikaela said suddenly. We looked at her. She went back up. She came down a couple minutes later with a box.

"Let me out!" a voice said from a box. I frowned.

"This is going to be a little bit sad." Mikaela said. She looked up at me.

"Be ready," she warned me. I nodded

"Open it." Sam said. Mikaela nodded and opened the box. A small decepticon, larger than Nokia but way smaller than Jazz tried to escape. I quickly grabbed him.

"Dude," I said as he clawed my arm. The little con glared at me.

"Whoa." Simmons said.

"I will have so many Decepticons on your butt!" the con yelled out. I snorted. Doubtful.

"Hey, behave!" Mikaela snapped at him as she held a blow touch. How the hell did she get that?

"Easy!" the con said holding his servos up.

"What is it, a Decepticon?" Sam asked. I snorted.

"Duh," I muttered. The con looked at me and I'm sure his optics widened.

"Yeah." Mikaela agreed.

"And you're training him?" Sam asked. Okay, I admit I gave Mikaela a weird look.

"I'm trying to." Mikaela said. We all gave her weird looks now.

"I spent my whole adult life combing the planet for aliens..." Simmons said shaking his head.

"Lemem go!" He scratched my arms again.

"That's not gonna work," I raised an eyebrow at him.

"...and you're carrying around one in your purse like a little chihuahua." Simmons finished.

"Huh? Do you want a throwdown, you pubic 'fro-head?"

"What's your name?" I asked suddenly getting everyone to look at me.

"Wheelie," Wheelie said. I smiled at him.

"Nice to meet you Wheelie. I'm Jazlyn and," I said. Nokia climbed out of my hair. "This is Nokia," I introduced. Now I was getting sighs from everyone. I mean come on? Where are my manners?

"Look I'm sorry. I'm so sorry about your eye, you know, but, if you're a good boy-" Mikaela started making Wheelie look at her.

"Uh-huh? Uh-huh?" Wheelie said.

"-then I'm not gonna torch your other eye. Okay? I'm not gonna torch it. Just tell me what these symbols are. Please." Mikaela said sweetly.

"All right. Uh. Oh, I know that. That's the language of the Primes. I don't read it, but these guys... where the frick did you find photos of these guys?" Wheelie asked. I looked closer, they sorta looked like they would be seekers.

"Is this they?" Sam asked pointing at a picture.

"Yeah. Seekers, pal. Oldest of the old. They've been here thousands of years, looking for something. I don't know what. Nobody tells me nothing, but they'll translate those symbols for you. And I know where to find them." Wheelie said.

"Can you please show us?" I asked Wheelie this time. Honest to god, each time he looks at me his optics widen.

"Yeah." Wheelie said. He fired up a hologram on a map.

"Closest one's in Washington." Simmons said.

"Thanks," I told Wheelie. He just grinned at me. Mikaela took Wheelie back and everyone noticed my arms.

"I've had worse," I told them as Nokia got some bandages that I had packed. I wrapped my arms. Yay, more bandages.

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇

"Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Land of dreams in there. All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut. Hold those." Simmons said to Sam after we had gotten out of the autobots. No one else wanted to be with the twins so they went in Bumblebee while I went in Mudflap, with the promise of going in/with Skids next time.

"What is that?" Sam asked as I hid my smile by making my hair go over my face.

"What? I wear them when I'm in a funk. So does Giambi, Jeter. It's a baseball thing. Okay. Watches synchronized, sharp mind and empty bladder. You get caught, demand an attorney and don't ever say my name. Okay, take one of these pills. Slip it under your tongue. It's the high-concentrate polymer they put in Oreo cookies. Tricks the polygraph every time. Okay. Now, let's get this show on the road." Simmons said as he fired up a taser. Oh, he's ready for this.

"Whoa, whoa, no, listen, I can't do this." Leo said everyone look at him.

"Yes." Simmons told him.

"I'm not some alien bounty hunter, guys. I'm not gonna do this. Guards have guns. I don't want to die." Leo said. I, what, really? Come on! I just want to go back to N.E.S.T and hang out with Jazz. But no! I'm doing this because of stupid Sam Witwicky again. We're not alien bounty hunter either. Well, they're not, I guess I technically am.

"Kid. Kid. Kid. Kid, kid, kid. You compromise this mission, you are dead to me. Now look into my eyes and tighten up that sphincter." Simmons said.

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡♡◇♡◇♡◇♡

"The museum is now closing." someone said over the loudspeaker as I breathed nervously. I had been put in a different plane to the two lovebirds. Thank you, Simmons! I owe you big time.

I heard Leo come out and had to cover my mouth. This plan was gonna be so funny. "Yo, baba! Bad news, bro! Ran out of toilet paper! You got any out here? Please tell me you do." Leo's muffled voice came through the cracks in the vent. I shared a grin with Nokia who had his bio lights on very dimly.

"Sir! I suggest you get in there. The museum is closed!" One of the security guards told Leo.

"Listen, man, I understand that, but as you can see, this is important. All right? Thumper dumper. I got to go. All right." Leo said.

"Sir, you are a grown, naked man around children. Pull your pants up and exit the building." the guard said.

"I'm not going anywhere." Leo said. It was quiet as Leo and the guard when into the bathroom. I could faintly hear the sounds of people being tasered. It wasn't until Simmons opened the vent door that I felt safe.

"Ready?" He asked as he helped me down.

"When am I not?" I teased then I felt bad instantly. Simmon noticed and opened his arms for a hug. I let myself cry for a bit. After a minute or two Simmons spoke up.

"I know it hurts, kid. Come on, the quicker we do this, the quicker you can see him again," he said. I nodded and wiped away my tears. Nokia hugged my neck.

"Let's get this done," I said confidently

Simmons went to find Leo as I looked around at the planes. I looked back at Simmons when i heard that he was dragging something or rather someone.

"You are an amateur, man. A rank amateur," Simmon told Leo. I bit my lip to stop my laughter.

"We just downed five guards. Five guards. Get your stuff and get out of here. Get out of-" Simmons said to Sam as I helped Leo up.

"Give me a second here." Sam said as he unpacked his bag.

"I got to get the tracker, all right." Simmons said as he showed us his magic tool.

"Be good." Mikaela said as I opened the box for her. I smiled at Wheelie who gasped dramatically.

"I'm claustrophobic." Wheelie dramatized. I giggled and he seem to puff his chest out in pride. My laughter soon disappeared as we were soon looking for the seeker.

Simmons started waving his tool around as I looked around randomly. Sam, Mikaela, Leo and wheelie stuck together as I was with Nokia. I stopped in front of a massive black jet. Soon everyone else joined me.

"Blackbird." Simmons said as he held his tool up.

"Ooh, there he is. This guy's a legend, like, like, like the Chairman of the Board! Yo, freshman, point the shard and watch the magic happen." Wheelie told us after transforming. I shared a look with Nokia as we saw the faction symbol.

"Are you sur-?" I asked just as Sam let the shard go.

"Oh shit. It's a Decepticon!" Mikaela yelled as she saw the symbol.

"Decepticon." Simmons said

"Decepticon?" Leo asked, confused.

"Behind the MiG now!" Simmons shouted. Nokia and I moved back a couple meters but stayed in optic sight.

"Ah. What sort of hideous mausoleum is this? Answer me, pawns and knaves! Show yourselves or suffer my infinite wrath! You little spinal-cord-based organisms! Oof. Oh, bugger it. Behold the eternal glory of... Jetfire! Prepare for remote systems override!" The decepticon, Jetfire shouted as he transformed.

"Well, at least we got his name," I mumbled to Nokia who nodded in agreement.

"I command these doors to open! Fire! I said, fire!" Jetfire yelled at the doors. He tried to shoot them but it came out of his aft and hit a human plane. I laughed with Nokia, his little laughter is always so cute! I chased after the others as they chased Jetfire.

"Whoa whoa whoa!" Simmons and Sam shouted.at the decepticon.

"Oh, bollocks! Damn these worthless parts." Jetfire said as he shoved his aft joints.

"Wait a second!" Sam called after him.

"ltchy, wretched rust in my arse! Ah!" Jetfire grumbled as he used a missile as a walking stick.

"Oh, the museum is going to be very angry. Very angry. We gotta catch that plane." Simmons said, giving me a mock glare as he saw me and Nokia laughing together.

"Right. I'm on a mission." Jetfire said as he smashed a wing to a plane.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait!" We shouted.

"What do you want?" Jetfire asked turning around to face us.

"Look, we just want to talk!" Sam yelled up to him

"I have no time to talk. I'm on a mission. I'm a mercenary doom-bringer. What planet am I on?" Jetfire asked.

"Earth." Sam shouted

"Earth? Terrible name for a planet. Might as well call it dirt. Planet dirt. Tell me, is that robot civil war still going on? Who's winning?" Jetfire asked.

"The Decepticons." Sam said. Jetfire spat on the ground.

"Well, I change sides to the Autobots." he said.

"What do you mean, change sides?" Sam asked. I feel kinda stupid for just standing here letting Sam ask all the questions.

"It's a choice. It's an intensely personal decision. So much negativity. Who wants to live a life filled with hate?" Jetdirect said to us.

"You mean you don't have to work for those miserable freaking Decepticons?" Wheelie asked. I tilted my head slightly. What the fuck? Of course you don't, you're your own person slash bot.

"If Decepticons had their way, they'd destroy the whole universe." Jetfire told the bot.

"I'm changing sides. I'm changing sides, too, warrior goddess. Who's your little Autobot?" Wheelie said. And.... he started humping Mikaela's leg. Ew, gross and weird.

"Aw, you're cute." Mikaela said. Nokia and I shared gross looks. Thank Primus, that our relationship wasn't like that.

"Name's Wheelie. Yeah. Yeah. Say my name, say my name." Wheelis said, panting slightly.

"What are you allowing to happen to your foot just now?" Sam asked Mikaela.

"At least he's faithful, Sam." Mikaela smirked at the boy. Okay, what the hell have I missed? I, um, what?

"Yeah, well, he's faithful and he's nude and he's perverted." Sam told her.

"Can you just... can you stop?" Sam asked slash told Wheelie as he kicked the small bot off of Mikaela's leg.

"Ey, what are you doing?" Wheelie protested.

"It's just something to think about. I won't argue with... what were you saying?" Sam asked Jetfire rather rudely. I gave him a look, he was slowly sounding more and more like Galloway. On that note, I just realised I'm still wearing my N.E.S.T uniform. Wow.

"I told you my name was Jetfire! So stop judging me!" Jetfire shouted at Sam as he slammed his walking stick down in front of us causing us to fall over. Nokia grabbed my neck to stay on.

"I have issues of my own, and it started with my mother! My ancestors have been here for centuries. My father, why, he was the wheel! The first wheel. Do you know what he transformed into?" Jetfire asked us. I gave him a look as he noticed me and Nokia, his optics widening slightly. What the fuck was going on with Decepticons and their optics widening?

"Oh, bollocks. My boosters are fried. Aww." Jetfire said. I looked up as Leo offered his hand. What the hell did I miss? I took Leo's hand and kept watching the ancient ex-decepticon.

"I think we can help each other. You know things I don't know. I know things you don't know, I do." Sam told Jetfire. I almost scoffed at Sam. I know things you don't know either Samuel.

"I don't think he knows anything. Honestly, I don't." Leo said. Nokia and I glared at him. Where the fuck are this generations manners? Leo flinched and went to hide behind Simmons who sent me an amused look.

"I could do this all day. It comes in waves, these vivid symbols. They're symbols, but they're in my mind. You see, all this is in my mind and Megatron wants what's in my mind. Him and someone called the Fallen." Sam said after he had carved a circle of cybertronian symbols. I recognized a couple, Prime, Jazz, Tip and Key but couldn't figure out the others.

"The Fallen? I know him. He left me here to rust. The original Decepticon. He's terrible to work for. It's always apocalypse, chaos, crisis. These transcriptions, they were part of my mission, the Fallen's search. I remember now, for the Dagger's Tip, and- and the key." Jetfire said as he looked at the symbols.

"Yeah, wait, slow down. The Dagger's Tip? The key? What are you talking about?" Sam asked.

"No time to explain." Jetfire said as he collected energy. My eyes widened as I looked at Nokia.

"Wait, wait-" Someone yelled, I couldn't hear who it was over the noise.

"It's a space bridge!" I tried to tell my fellow humans. Don't think they heard but Jetfire did and he looked at me shocked that I knew what it was.

"Hold on, everybody! Stay still or you'll die!" Jetfire yelled as the energy pulsed and we were gone in a flash.(Be back in a Flash!)

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡

Well, um. How do I say this? We um, sorta fell from the sky? Jazz is gonna be mad if I hurt myself again. And Will. And Ratchet. And Sarah. And pretty much everyone in my Family. But hey! I can blame Jetfire for this one!

Nokia was barely hanging on so I grabbed him. He took the cue and transformed so I could tuck him into my pocket. I was able to pull my parachute before I got too close to the ground. Luckily Will had me put in on in case of Missions going wrong(after the last time). I ended up just floating down to where everyone had gathered.

"That really, really hurt. You're just lucky that I didn't get hurt. People could have gotten killed, okay? And if I would have gotten hurt, you would have heard from my at-" Simmons was yelling at Jetfire as I landed safely on the ground. Simmons glared at me as I packed it up. I gave him a sheepish smile.

"Oh, shut up. She told you I was opening a space bridge. It's the fastest way to travel to Egypt." Jetfire said pointing at me, making everyone look at me surprised that I knew what the old bot had been doing.

"When did you... when did you tell us? You didn't tell us anything. You didn't tell us anything," Sam sneered at me.

"And you. Why are we in Egypt?" He asked, turning to Jetfire pretending not to notice the hurt that flashed across my face. By now everyone was glaring at Sam. Even Jetfire and Wheelie. I hugged myself as Nokia climbed up to my shoulder again and nuzzled me.

"Don't you get snippy with me, fleshling! You were duly informed!" Jetfire snapped at Sam.

"Can you just stop for a second? Can you focus? Can you tell us why we're in Egypt so we can all have a little bit of semblance of peace of mind?" Sam asked Jetfire.

"This planet was visited by our race once before, by our earliest ancestors, a millennium ago. They were on an exploratory mission to harvest Energon, the lifeblood of our race. Without it, we'll all perish, oxidize and rust, like my wretched self! Do you have any idea what it's like to slowly fall apart and die?" Jetfire said then asked us.

"Let's not get episodic, okay? Old-timer? Beginning. Middle. End. Facts. Details. Condense. Plot. Tell it." Simmons said.

"Write a book," I muttered, grinning at him. Simmons shoot me a smile.

"Somewhere buried in this desert, our ancestors built a great machine. It harvests Energon... by destroying suns." Jetfire said. That sounded familiar. Perhaps Jazz or Bossbot told me about it?

"Destroy suns?" Sam gulped.

"You mean blow them up?" Leo asked. No shit sherlock.

"Yes. You see, in the beginning, there were seven Primes, our original leaders. And they set out into the universe, seeking distant suns to harvest. The Primes set out with one rule. Never destroy a planet with life. Until one of them tried to defy this rule. And his name forevermore was... the Fallen." Jetfire said as he showed us a hologram.

I snapped my fingers making everyone look at me. "That's who the con said would rise again," I told them. I got blank looks and I sighed.

"The Autobots and N.E.S.T were hunting down decepticons and the last one we found before bossbot was offlined said that the fallen will rise and that they would have the girl," I explained to them.

"Girl?" Jetfire asked, concern in his optics. I nodded. Mikaela gasped and turned to Sam.

"Megatron said something about a girl as well," Mikaela said, Sam nodding. Jetfire seemed to think about it before continuing with his story.

"He despised the human race and he wanted to kill you all by turning on that machine. The only way to activate it is with a legendary key called the Matrix of Leadership."

"A great battle took place over possession of the Matrix. The Fallen was stronger than his brothers, so they had no choice but to steal... and hide it from him. In the ultimate sacrifice, they gave their lives to seal the Matrix away in a tomb made of their very own bodies, a tomb we cannot find. Somewhere, buried in this desert, that- deadly machine remains. The Fallen knows where it is and if he finds the tomb of the Primes, your world will be no more." Jetfire finished. This all seemed way too familiar, but why it felt familiar, I had no idea.

"Okay, so how do we stop him?" Mikaela asked. I got the sinking feeling in my heart again. Please tell me we don't ...

"Only a Prime can defeat the Fallen." Jetfire said. My expression fell. I felt the ex-con's gaze on me before looking at Sam.

"Optimus Prime?" The boy asked. His hope dying out.

"So, you've met a Prime? Why, you must have met a great descendant. Is he alive, here on this planet?" Jetfire asked as I teared up. I had to bite my lip to stop any from falling.

"He sacrificed himself to save me." Sam said. Simmons gave me a side hug when he noticed my watery eyes.

"So, he's dead. Without a Prime, it's impossible. No one else could stop the Fallen." Jetfire said downheartedly

"The Matrix." I thought I heard someone whisper. I looked around but no one seemed to have said it.

"So, the same energy that's gonna be used to reactivate the machine... could that energy somehow be used to reactivate Optimus and bring him back to life?" Sam asked.

"It was never designed for that purpose, but it's an energy like no other." Jetfire hummed thoughtfully.

"So then how do you get us to the Matrix before the Decepticons get to us?" Sam asked.

"Follow your mind, your map, your symbols. What you carved in the sand, it's your clue. When dawn alights the Dagger's Tip, three kings will reveal the doorway! Find the doorway! Go now! Go!" Jetfire ushered us.

"Okay, we'll all go." Simmons said.

"That was my mission. It's your mission now. Go before the Decepticons find me and find you." Jetfire told us. I paused before entering Skids.

"Thank you, Jetfire," I told him. He grinned and waved me on.

"Good Luck, Jazlyn Melody Brass," He said. I gave him one last smile before going in Skids. Not even bothering to ask how he knew my name.

"Shit! Cops," I said as the cops started to chase us.

"We got it," Skids said cockly. I rolled my eyes as we followed Bumblebee to an alleyway, where I then jumped out of Skids as they transformed. I dusted off the dust from my uniform as I stood up, Nokia came out of my pocket.

"Man, stupid cops! Ah-ha-ha!" Mudflap said from where he was hanging from Bumblebee.

"This is what's called blending in like a ninja." Skids chuckled.

"Shut up or I'll blend my fist in your face." Mudflap said. I laughed quietly as I got my cap, that I may or may not have stolen from Will, out on placed it on my head to hide my face. He, Thanks Will.

"They're gone." Mikaela whispered as she took the black cloth off her face.

"Okay, we're running out of time. I gotta make the call to Lennox-" Sam started.

"You're on the Worldwide Wanted List. Try calling one base, they'll track you here in seconds. CIA is all over this place!" Simmons said.

"Nokia and I can do it," I suggested.

"Okay. That's a good idea." Simmons said pointing at me.

"Nokia can get through without alerting any cops nearby," I added for Sam.

"All right." Sam agreed finally.

♧New Jersey♧

"NEST departure, 2100 hours." A soldier's voice said over the loudspeaker.

"So, we're shipping them back to base. This is such a mistake." Will said to Epps who was nodding along as they watched as the Autobots were being strapped down before being taken to the planes. The N.E.S.T team soldiers bowed their heads in respect as the government soldiers moved the fallen Autobot leader, Optimus Prime. Will saw Jazz flash his lights at him before a soldier walked over with a phone in his hand.

"Major Lennox. Phone for you," The soldier said as he neared Will and Epps.

Will took the phone, "Hello?" He asked into the phone.

"Hey, Will," Jazlyn's voice said through it.

"Jazlyn?" Will asked, his eyes wide as Epps' eavesdropped

"That's my name, don't wear it out. Will, listen we can bring boss-bot back. You need to bring him to Egypt," She paused. The men could faintly hear muffled talking on the other end of the call.

"Simmons says to tell you, Code Tut, as in King Tutankhamen. Coordinates for airdrop, 29.5 north, 34.88 east. " Jazlyn finished. The men chuckled as they could practically hear her rolling her eyes.

"How's Jazz? Nokia showed what happened with Galloway, Can I hurt him yet?" Jazlyn asked innocently. Will and Epps could hear the hidden fury in her voice.

"No, we still need him," Will smiled. He felt Jazz's eyes on him(In car form).

"Jazz is fine physically," Epps smirked at the car as Will said this. "I'm a hundred percent sure he misses you," Will added, sending his own smirk to the bot. Jazlyn laughed over the phone.

"Nokia is showing me what you two are doing," She said smugly and both men stopped smirking and their faces paled. Jazlyn laughed over the phone. Both of the men she considered her brothers had been on the receiving end of her pranks once, when they wouldn't stop teasing Jazlyn and Jazz about their relationship. Let's just say that they didn't ever tease the two J's again, and they warned anyone else not to.

"Tell Jazz, "Tu me manques aussi,"," Jazlyn said seemingly happy but Will and Epps could hear the sadness from being away from her best friend slash guardian for too long.

"I will," Will promised.

"Shit gotta go. Thanks for the cap, Will!" She said before ending the call.

Epps laughed at his best friend's gaping mouth.

"She's the one who stole my hat. That damned girl. I paid 20 bucks for that!"

♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧

I quickly got Nokia to hide as someone came running up.

"Whoa, wait, who are you?" Sam asked the guy who had hidden his face. I placed my hand over my hidden gun, narrowing my eyes supiously.

"Wait! It's me! Leo! Me! Leo! Leo! Leo! Cops are coming right now. We need to go!" Leo said showing his face, I sighed in relief before his words sunk in. We ran for the bots.

"Move, move, move, move. Let's go."

♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧

"Coordinates, 29.5 north, 34.88 east. Tip of the Red Sea. Gulf of Aqaba." A soldier said as he walked out of the plane to WIll and Epps.

"Egypt? Are you serious?" Epps asked. He had thought Jazlyn was joking.

Galloway walked up beside Graham in the background. "Sir," Graham acknowledged before watching Will and Epps again.

"Even if we could figure out a way to get big man over there, how is Jazlyn supposed to bring him back to life?" Epps asked WIll quietly.

"Look. I don't know- but we got to trust her and get her home as quickly as we can," Will told Epps.

♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧

"Okay, let's go over it again." Sam said. I heard him through the comlink that Bumblebee and the twins had so I could hear as well.

"When the dawn alights-" Sam and Simmons said.

"-the Dagger's Tip," Sam said

"the Three Kings-" Simmons added

"-will reveal the doorway." Sam finished. I'm not kidding when I say the phase was familiar. I couldn't place where I had heard it before.

"That's what he said. You know what that means?" Simmons asked Sam.

"No, what does it mean?" Sam asked Simmons.

"I have no idea." Simmons said as we pulled up at a checkpoint.

"Oh my God. Oh my God. Checkpoint. Checkpoint. I don't have my passport." Leo painiced. I groaned as Skids and Mudflap chuckled slightly. That boy is going to be the death of me.

"Pass-port!" The customs officer said.

"They've got cameras at the top." Sam said as I mumbled it. I quickly put some shades on, hoping that Sam had done something similar.

"All right, chill. This is espionage now. I can handle it. These are my people." Simmons said. I snickered quietly.

"Yeah." Wheelie said sarcastically.

"I'm one-thirty-sixth Arab." Simmons added.

"Oh great, a frickin' munchkin. Little people are mean. Tell him he's tall." Wheelie said.

"Ashu-fanah... The Dagger's... Tip? Right? Egypt, Jordan. We want to go there. Me and my family. This is my family. This is my son, my other son, my daughter and my niece in the other car. We're tourists, from New York." Simmons said. I smiled when the guy looked at me sitting in Mudflap.

"New York?" The officer asked.

"Yes. Yes." Simmons nodded.

"Fifty kilometers." The officer said.

"You look like the guy that runs my falafel stand. Thank you very much." Simmons said smiling at the man.

"New York!" The officer said.

"I know. I know you from somewhere." Simmons mused.

"Go Yankees!" The officer said as he waved us on. I gave him a smile as we passed.

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡

"Ssh. Undercover, yo. You got to blend in with your surroundings. You know, you got to be part of the landscape- ow!' Skids said doing stupid stuff before he smashed into Bumblebee. I cough laughed into my fist as Nokia laughed into his servo. Nokia was standing on my shoulder again.

"Awesome! I think aliens built that. Yeah! Yeah, yeah. Come on. Move it! Move it! Move out!" Simmons said as he opened the door.

"Guard us. Low profile. Don't make a scene, okay?" Sam said turning to the bots.

"Yeah, some of us got work to do! Dumb Autobots." Wheelie said. I kicked him lightly. "What?" He looked at me.

"Be nice," I told him before we followed the others.

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡

"NEST Team E.T.A. - 6 Hrs" Nokia reported to me. I smiled happliy. I'd get to see Jazz soon.

"Simmons! Leo! Wake up! Jaz, come here," Sam said suddenly making me jump out of my daydream. I scowled. Dude, I was perfectly fine here.

"Listen, astronomy class, page 47. Remember the class?" Sam said, I tilted my head. Does he know I've never been to a normal collage?

"No. No, I was only in college for two days. Remember that?" Leo said.

"Here. Get up. Up, up." Sam said pulling us outside.

"What are you talking about?" Leo asked as I yawned. It's difficult for me to get to sleep without Jazz nearby. Jazz helped me with the weird dreams I get.

"Okay, you see those three stars? You see how the last one touches the horizon? That's Orion's belt, but it's also called the Three Kings. And the reason for that is the three Egyptian kings who built the pyramids of Giza built them to mirror those stars, so it's like an arrow staring us straight in the face." Sam said. Realisation drew on my and Simmons face.

"They all point due east, towards Jordan." SImmons said.

"The mountains of Petra." I finished. What? I kinda had to earn Geography to be apart of N.E.S.T.

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡

"We've had an engine malfunction. We're gonna have to divert to SOCCENT. Flight master, let's lighten the load and prepare for bailout." The pilot said over the main speaker.

"Engine mal- Bailout? Bailout? Bailout? Bailout?" Galloways exclaimed, panicking.

"All right, team, grab your chutes!" Will shouted. Everyone got their chutes on as Will helped Galloway.

"Bailout, like, like bailout?" Galloway asked.

"You familiar with the standard MC-4?" Will asked as he tightened a strap.

"Of course not! I've never jumped out of a perfectly good airplane before! Wait a minute, is this really happening?" Galloway asked suspiciously.

"Yeah. All right, here we go." WiIl said, hiding his amusement behind his careful mask.

"Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're behind this, aren't you?" Galloway asked, narrowing his eyes at Will.

"What are you talking about? You heard the pilot. These guys don't mess around. This is just standard procedure. I'm just following orders to the letter." Will countered.

"Aah!" Galloway exclaimed as Will tightened the chute.

"Isn't that what you said?" Will said, barely hiding his smirk.

"You just signed a death warrant on your career, Major... Whoa! What was that? What was that?" Galloway went to tell the man off when the plane shock.

"Oh, that's not good. Come on. Right this way!" Will said to Galloway.

"I- I- I can't jump out of an airplane! I have an ulcer! No, no, no-" Galloway stammered nervously.

"Come on. It's okay." Will said, hidden smugness in his voice as he dragged the disrespectful man to the plane door with the N.E.S.T team watching.

"I really can't do this. What are you doing-" Galloway said, the rest of his sentence was muffled out by the plane's engine roaring.

"Come here! Come here." Will shouted over the wind.

"Why aren't you wearing your chute?" Galloway asked him.

"Because I have to secure the VIPs first! Okay, I want you to listen very carefully and memorize everything that I say." Will shouted. Galloway nodded.

"Each chute has a GPS tracker so you can be found by search and rescue. Right next to that's a fabric webbing called a bridle, which holds the pin that keeps the main container closed. Okay, are you listening?" Will asked him.

"I- I can't hear what..." Galloway tried to yell.

"Stop that!" Will said, giving the man a slap on the face.

"All right. All right." Galloway nodded nervously.

"All right, when the pilot chute inflates into the air, it pulls the pin and opens the main. Red's your backup, blue's your primary. I want you to pull the blue. I need you to pull it really hard!" Will shouted, Galloway pulled the blue pin.

"Not- not now, we're on the plane, you dumbass!" Will shouted at the man as the chute opened up.

"What? Aaaaaaaaa-" Galloway screamed as he went flying out. Will shut the door and walked back to the others.

"He say goodbye?" Epps smiled

"No, he didn't even say goodbye." Will said in mock disappointment.

"We've got it for Jazlyn," James, another N.E.S.T soldier said holding up a camera. Will smiled and nodded at him.

"She's going to be so happy to see this," Will smirked.

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡

"Got to be around here somewhere. I-" Simmons said before we all looked up at the massive building.

"You see the size of this? You see this? Huh?" Simmons asked.

"Spec-tacular." Skids said. I nodded in agreement.

"Holy, Fuck," I muttered.

"Amazing. Look at that." Simmons said.

"It's here somewhere, guys." Sam said as we entered the amazing structure.

"Yeah, why? 'Cause, uh, we're trusting grandpa blackbird who doesn't even know what planet he's on?" Leo asked. I glared and slapped him.

"Have some respect," I growled at him. Leo whimpered.

"In his defense, this is the biggest doorway I've ever seen in my entire life." Simmons said looking back at the doorway.

"Oh. Okay. Well, that's great. Let me do a quick search, all right? Uh... Nope. Ever cross your mind, guys, that archaeologists have been here before? There's nothing here." Leo said, he moved away when I tried to hit him.

"Real life is heartbreak, despair, kid. Sometimes you get to the end of the rainbow and the leprechauns went and booby-trapped it!" Simmons told the boy.

"Not everything goes in a straight line, sometimes you have to find a different path," I told him. Glaring at him as he glared at me.

"Why am I listening to you? You live with your mother!" He shouted at Simmons before turning to me.

"And you, what is wrong with you? Where's your pathetic family?" Leo snarled at me. Everyone froze and looked at me.

"My blood family is dead." I spat at him. Leo looked at me guilty. Simmons placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Calm down, Kid. Jazz is on his way here," Simmons said. I glared at the boy once more before relaxing into Simmons arms. Nokia hugged my face. I really didn't want to kill anyone. Yet.

"It's not over." Sam said after taking a glance at me. I guess I looked like total utter shit.

"It is over. It's done." Leo said. I moved to where Sam was sitting. I touched the wall.

"What is it?" Simmons asked as everyone looked at me. I tilted my head.

"It's through here," I said. I tapped the wall lightly and it gave away.

"Okay. Was not expecting that," I said amazed. I walked in with everyone, human, following behind me.

"These are the bodies Jetfire was talking about." Sam said. I looked at them curiously. This was a historical site that hadn't even been found by humans. How the hell did I find it? I looked at Nokia who was looking at the dead primes with awe in his optics.

"The tomb of the Primes." Simmons said dramatically.

"Yo! Yo!" Leo's voice echoed throughout the cave. I glared at him.

"The Matrix!" Sam gasped. I looked at it. Wouldn't there be a trap?

"No- No. No.... no." Sam said as it turned to dust. Can I say I called it? I narrowed my eyes at it. Surely there's a way for it to become solid again.

"The Matrix is not found, but earned," a familiar voice said. I looked at the others. Did they heard it? Or am I just having weird dreams again.

"Thousands of years, turned to dust." Simmons shock his head. Apparently not.

"This isn't how it's supposed to end." Sam said panicking.

"Hear that? US Air Force! C-17's!" Simmond yelled as he left us inside.

"What's a C-17?" Leo asked. I smirked.

"It means my family is here," I told the boy. My heart leaped for joy.

"You can't bring him back, Sam. There's nothing left." Mikaela said sadly. That's when I realised. Optimus. My face fell.

"Look! Look around you. We didn't just go through everything we went through for no reason at all, and to just have it end like this. There is a reason that we are here. The voices and the symbols in my head led us here for a purpose. Everyone's after me because of what I know, and what I know is that this is going to work." Sam said.

"How do you know it's gonna work?" Mikaela asked.

"Because I believe it." Sam said. I looked up at his confidant face.

"And we're going to make it happen," I said smiling at Sam as I stood. He quickly put the Matrix dust in a sock and we joined Simmons outside.

"Dropping the big boy." Simmons said looking through his binoculars. I smiled.

"They are my family," I told Leo as I pointed to the people falling through the sky. Leo gulped. Nokia and I grinned at him.

"Sam! You think you can bring him back to life with that pixie dust?" Simmons shouted to the boy.

"Absolutely. Let's go." Sam said. I grinned widely. I was going to see my family again.

♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡

"Go." Will said when everyone had landed.

"Let's move it."

"Remember, they're friendlies." Will shouted to everyone before talking to the locals.

"Cover Optimus!" Graham yelled out.

"Secure the village. Get those cases down here. I need snipers and Stingers up high." Will shouted out.

"So, we just dropped off ten tons of dead robot in the middle of nowhere. I hope Jazlyn knows what she's doing." Epps said.

"Yeah, me too." Will told his friend.

"Got a visual! Yellow team! Four clicks!" A sniper yelled out, pointing to the three cars in the distance.

"Pop flare!" Will shouted.

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇

"That's them, right there. See the flare?" Sam pretty much yelled.

"Right over there! You see it?" Simmons said. My face fell when I spotted a familiar silver plane. It shot at us.

"I'm going to kill that damned seeker one day!" I yelled as everyone screamed.

"Oh God. Please God! Please." Leo started to freak out.

"Leo, stop freaking out. Stop freaking out." Mikaela begged him.

"Please God please-," Leo kept going. I rolled my eyes.

"Shut this guy up, huh?" Simmons shouted.

"Please, just let me live, just let me live!" Leo cried.

"Shut up and let him drive!" Mikaela yelled.

"Just stop screaming-," Sam said.

"All right, that's it!" I yelled and hit him over the head with my gun. They looked at me in shock.

"What? I never leave home without it," I shrugged and put it away.

"Whoa!" Sam shouted as Starscream landed in front of us.

"Hide in the dust! Use the dust!" Simmons shouted at Bumblebee. Bee went in the dust for a bit before stopping so we could all get out. Thankfully, I didn't hit Leo too hard so he was already awake.

"We've got to split up. Bumblebee, you're the decoy. You lead the Decepticons away, all right? I'm gonna get Optimus."

"I'll help draw their fire with Huey and Dewey there. You get to those soldiers. I hope that dust works, kid." Simmons said sincerely. I smiled and gave him a hug.

"In case, anything happens," I muttered into the jacket he stole from the museum.

"Take care, kid," He patted my back before I let go and chased after Sam and Mikaela.

◇♤◇♤◇♤◇♤◇♤◇♤◇♤◇

"That thing's got alien tattoos all over it. That ain't Air Force." Epps said before the coms screeched.

"What the hell was that?" Will asked.

"Anyone copy?" Epps said putting his hand on the com.

"Anyone there? Who's up?" Will said.

"Copy?" Epps asked.

"Radio's down." Someone called.

"It's dead. Comms are down." Will said grimly.

"EMP burst. I see how this day is going in this godforsaken desert." Epps grumbled.

♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧

"Nothing." Epps said.

"Right, go burn an SOS. Let the eye in the sky know we need some help." Will told a couple of people.

"Yes, sir. Okay, boys, old school time!"

"Pop some more flares so Jazlyn can find us." Will called out. He keep looking at the distance.

"Come on Jazlyn," He muttered.

◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇

"Look. There it is. We got a couple of miles." Sam said as he and Mikaela were puffing. I was fine, except for the heat and the comms getting busted earlier. Nokia was holding onto my neck as he looked out for any autobots or N.E.S.T soldiers.

"What are we waiting for?" I asked them before we started running again.

♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧

Now all three of us were panting. "We still have a mile that way. Come on... This way. This way." Sam said. I ran harder. All that training for nothing? Nope, I'm doing this. We need Optimus back.

♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧

"Master, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the soldiers brought the body of Prime." Starscream said as joined his master.

Megatron growled in frustration. "The boy and the girl must have the Matrix. We cannot let them reach Optimus. Decepticons! Begin our assault!" He roared.

♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤

"We've got incoming!"

"Look out!"

"We got a whole lot of fight coming our way!" Will shouted.

"How many?" Epps asked.

"About thirteen of them." Will replied.

"This ain't good. This ain't good. We're about to get our asses whupped." Epps said pacing.

"Bravo-Charlie, kneel!" Will shouted as the Autobots got ready. Jazz was earnestly scanning the desert for Jazlyn.

"Let's go!"

"All right, those Decepticons are searching for Sam and Jazlyn. Whatever they have, they think it'll bring Optimus back to life. So our mission is to find the two and get both of them to Optimus. All right, we're gonna draw fire from the left flank. I need a scout team."

"I'm leading." Ironhide said, taking a look at Jazz who was already getting ready.

"Go!"

"Go up through the middle with Arcee, Jazz and Ironhide. Right, when you see the precious cargo, I want you to pop green smoke and come back through those pillars. We'll have the ambush set. All right. Let's go. Move out!" Will shouted.

"Hoo-ah!"

♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡♤♡

"Sam, Sam." Mikaela panted.

"I don't think they saw us. Get down. Get down. Okay. Listen. Once it's clear, we run for Optimus as fast as we can, okay?" Sam told his girlfriend.

"But what if it doesn't work?" Mikaela asked.

"It's gonna work." Sam said.

"Yeah, but what if it doesn't?" Mikaela said again.

"It's gonna work. It will work." Sam repeated.

"It has to work," I said quietly, the couple looked at me to see a few tears escaping my eyes.

"We need Optimus Prime," I mumbled wrapping my arms around myself as Nokia hugged my neck. Sam made a hole in the wall with a sword to look outside. Sam looked through the hole to see a small (tinier than Nokia by miles) con bug. He grabbed it and squeezed its head until it died. It was quiet until the roof got torn off.

We screamed. "I see you!" Starscream roared.

"Up, up, up, up, up!" Sam yelled pushing Mikaela up stairs. I quickly followed. I almost got hit off when another con decided to smash the step that I had been on.

"Get ready to jump!" Sam shouted as we reached the top. We jumped and I just made it to the edge and jumped as the building crumbled underneath me. I may have fallen onto Sam before we got up and ran into another building.

"We got a half-mile. I don't think the soldiers know we're here." sam said.

"Oh, they know we're in the town, just not where exactly. We'll get there, have some faith," I told him.

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇

"Fall back!" Someone shouted.

"Fall back! Ironhide, up the middle!" Sideswipe shouted. He stumbled as he got shot. "No one saw that," He grumbled to himself.

"Ironhide, move it! Let's go! Go, go!" Will shouted at his autobot friend. Will was anxious to get Jazlyn back. Jazz was already spinning his tires and zooming ahead of them.

♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧

Sam panted as we ran. "Come on," he said quietly to us. I saw some figures up ahead.

"Sam!" A woman yelled.

"Sam!" A man yelled. My eyes widened. Holy, two fucks. What the fuck is Ron and Judy doing here?

"Dad!" Sam said stepping forward springing a trap. Mikaela fell by a building as I fell near Sam.

"Wait, wait!" Sam yelled at the con.

"Please listen to me!" Ron yelled at Sma

"I want you to run! Run!" Ron yelled at his son. Th con smashed his servo near Ron and Judy.

"Ron, shut it!" I yelled at them.

"Dad, just stop! They don't want you, they want me- oh, God! Wait!" Sam yelled.

"Sam Witwicky." the con growled.

"Don't hurt them. This is what you want. You don't want them." Sam said as he brought out the sock. I glared at him. He better not.

"Nooo." the con growled.

"Go!" Judy shouted.

"Please stop!" Sam yelled at them.

"Go!" Ron shouted.

"Stop!" I yelled at them.

"Listen to your father!" Judy yelled to Sam.

"Just get out of here!" Ron shouted. I heard whistling as I spun around inconspicuously to see Bumblebee.

"Just don't hurt them. I know what you want." Sam shouted.

"Just go! Just go." Judy called.

"And I know that you need me. Because I know about the Matrix." Sam said trying to buy time.

"Don't do it, Sam, listen to me-" Ron started.

"Please, Dad." Sam begged him.

"They're going to kill us all anyway!" Ron countered.

"Hey, hey, whoa! Here's what you want, right here." Sam said.

"Bumblebee!" We shouted together.

I took out my gun as Bumblebee started to fight the con but could get a good aim on the con without hurting Bee. When the cyber cat came I was stuck again. I couldn't help at all.

"Bee?" Sam said when the fight was over.

"Yeah." He played.

  ♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧  

"Back!" Ron said as we rushed down an alleyway

"Wait- hey!" Sam yelled.

"I don't know what's going on, but we've got to move!" Ron said before a shot was fired making the ground shake. And making Judy scream. Nokia fell and I quickly managed to grab him before he hit the ground. He gave me a relieved smile. This is the exact reason why I keep Nokia in my room at base when there's a mission.

"There's got to be a way out of here! Come on!" Ron shouted as he and Judy tried to go a certain way only to stop when another shot was fired.

"Ma, get back, get back!" Sam shouted.

"Judy, get back, get back, get back." Ron shouted as he pushed the screaming Judy towards me and I pulled her behind the wall.

"Against the wall! Against the wall! Against the wall. Against the wall. Bee! Bumblebee!" Sam called for his guardian.

Bumblebee beeped.

"You get them somewhere safe, all right? You've got to get in the car. Get to safety." Sam said to his parents.

"No, no, this isn't up for discussion! You're my son!" Ron shouted. I looked at Nokia. He should go with them as well. Nokia tried to protest but with one quick narrowed look he agreed.

"I know!" Sam shouted.

"You're my son!"

"Dad-"

"We all go together!"

"Listen-"

"We're all going together!"

"Ron!" I shouted making the man look at me. "I'm with him he'll be fine!" I promised. Ron nodded and looked at Judy.

"Take Nokia," I told Bumblebee who had transformed. He beeped as I gave him Nokia. I sent the scout a grateful look before giving Nokia one last pet before going back to Sam and Mikaela.

"I'm not gonna go without you." Mikaela was yelling to Sam. We started running again as Bumblebee drove off with Sam's parents and Nokia.

♡♧♡♧♡♧♡♧♡♧♡♧♡♧♡♧♡♧♡

"Hey- Sam, Jazlyn!" Ironhide called.

"Ironhide!" Sam and I yelled. I'm happy he's still alive.

"Follow us to the pillars. We'll take you to Optimus." Arcee said.

"Look out!" Sam yelled. Arcee screamed. Oh come on? Is my bad luck really that bad?

"Arcee!" I screamed as she got blown up.

"Get out, Jazlyn, Sam! Get to the pillars!" Ironhide yelled.

"Chromia!" I shouted as she was blasted. Tears fell as I saw Elita One get blasted as well.

"Let's go." Sam said grabbing my forearm as we left.

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇

"Alpha Team, flank left!"

"This way! Move it!" Will shouted.

"Where do you need us, sir?" a soldier asked.

"Protect those in the line of fire." Will shouted to him over the noise.

"Let's go! Go!" the soldier shouted to his squad.

"Give me your Comms. Come on. Epps!" Will shouted.

"Oof!"

"Right now, we need air support on station, ASAP!" Epps yelled.

"Go, go! What you got?" Will asked Graham.

"I couldn't get to them, sir. They're 600 meters away and they're heading right for the pillars." Graham told him.

"All right. Precious cargo's coming! Move!" Will shouted.

"Ah!"

◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇

"Hey!" Sam shouted waving his top. Dude, really? Just run. They'll see us in no time.

"Sideswipe!" I shouted happy to see the mech alive still.

"Jazlyn! Sam! Spotted Sam and Jazlyn!" Sideswipe shouted before having to duck to dodge missiles.

"Come on!" Will shouted coming forward.

"Two-two covering fire. Two civilians and a soldier, twelve o'clock!" Someone called out.

"Cover for us!" Will shouted to the others.

"Heeeeey!" Sam shouted like an idoit.

"Will!" I shouted relieved to see him again.

"Hold the air strike! We're rescuing civilians!" Epps shouted.

"Keep firing!" Will shouted.

"Come on! Mikaela! Come on! Get in here!" Will said pulling the girl in while I shoved Sam.

"Will!" I cried giving him a hug.

"Jazlyn. You have a lot of explaining to do," He told me sternly. I nodded. I was just overjoyed to be back.

"Where's Jazz?" I asked Will.

"Last I cheaked, looking for you," Will told me smirking. I rolled my eyes and punched his arm.

"Uh-" Sam said interrupting our moment.

"Oh, look who showed up. You better have a good reason for us to be here." Will said to Sam.

"Where's Optimus?" Sam and I asked.

"He's right over there, across the courtyard." Will pointed to where I could make out the body of Optimus.

"I've got to get to him right now." Sam said.

"Not with an air strike coming." Will countered.

"I have to get to him right now." Sam countered will.

"Shit," I muttered as a con appeared.

"Oh." Epps said quietly.

"Go. Back, back, back, back." Will told us quietly.

"Okay-" Will went to say something before my favourite BlackBird came in.

"Incoming! Stick the landing! Whoa-ho-ho! Behold the glory of... Jetfire!" Jetfire roared at the con. I smiled. Good to have him back.

"Now let me show you how we brought the pain in my day!" Jetfire shouted as another con came and attacked him.

"Ah! Ow!" Jetfire groaned as he fell to the ground.

"I'm too old for this crap." he said before rolling over. I had to stifle my giggles.

"I hope these F-16s got good aim." Epps said suddenly.

"Yeah? Why is that?" Will asked as I looked at the dark skinned man.

"I told them to hit the orange smoke." Epps said. That's when I noticed the smoke.

"You mean that orange smoke?"Will asked.

"It wasn't my best toss, okay?" Epps said.

"Fantastic. If I die, Jazz is going to kill you first" I told him. Epps plaed slightly as his eyes widened.

"Shit," Epps cursed.

"Viper. Thunder." The radio said. The three of us looked at each other.

"Run!" We shouted at Mikaela and Sam, shoving them to run.

"Incoming!" Epps shouted.

"Come on!" Will shouted.

"Sam!" Mikaela yelled as Sam started running towards Optimus. I sent Will a look, hoping he would forgive me, before chasing after the stupid boy.

"Run!" Sam yelled. I pushed myself harder. I made a promise to Ron and I'm going to keep it. I reached Sam quickly with all my training.

"Die!" Megatron half growled half screamed at us. Hey, when does he stop growling slash yelling at people? Never mind, not the time for this Jaz!

Sam was screaming as the decepticon war lord started shooting at us. I shoved him out of the way to the left, accidentally knocking the dust filled sock out of his hand. As the sock started flying through the air my eyes widened as I tried to reach it. I jumped out to get it, I grabbed it and I suddenly went flying. It felt like I was on fire before I hit the ground, staring up to the sky. I could barely keep my eyes open as the world started going black.

"Hold your fire!" I heard Will shout before the world faded to black and peacefulness.

◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇

"Stay back! Sam, stay back!" Will shouted to the boy who had noticed his friends body.

"Fucking do something!" Sam shouted.

"Jazlyn!" Jazz cried out as he arrived just in time to see her get blasted. He fell to his knee joints by her side. His servos going to reach out and touch her but failing, before falling back at his side.

"No. No. No." Mikaela stammered in shock. Her friend could die. Jazlyn couldn't be dead. Jazlyn was unstoppable in her eyes.

"Let me go!" Judy shouted her eyes filled with tears as she watched the girl just lay there.

"Come on, you got to move. You got to move! Come on." Will shouted. He was disappointed in himself. Why the fuck did he let himself lose sight of her.

"We got no pulse. Starting CPR." A paramedic said as he got out equipment.

"I have to see my kid! I have to see Jazlyn!" Ron shouted as he tried to reach the girl. He couldn't lose the girl he thought as his daughter.

"Jazzy!" Judy sobbed out.

The nearby Autobots felt like their sparks had broken. Jazlyn was important to them all. She was their friend, she was apart of their family.

"Ready to shock."

"Clear."

"Ready to shock. One, two, three." her body lay unmoving.

"Do it again!" Lennox commanded the paramedic. This couldn't be happening. He couldn't lose his sister.

"Jazlyn," Jazz murmured from her side. Coolant filling his optics. He couldn't lose her to this war as well.

Anyone watching had tears in their eyes. Jazlyn had impacted all of them, whether it be her N.E.S.T teammates or the Autobots or the people she lived with before all of this happened.

They all needed her.

◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇

I woke up in a place that was definitely not the desert. I blinked away the spots from my eyes from the light. I sat up and looked around. What the fuck? Where am I?

I looked down at myself and shirked. "What the fuck?" I shouted in shock. I was definitely not wearing my N.E.S.T uniform. I was wearing a white dress that had symbols all over it. They didn't look human. I touched one that was close to one over my heart gently and the name came to me.

"Jazz," I smiled then I started touching more.

"Optimus,"

"Ratchet,"

"Ironhide,"

"Bumblebee,"

"Sideswipe,"

"Sunstreaker," I frowned at this one. I didn't know him. The symbol was entwined with Sideswipes. I touched the one over my heart.

"Allspark," I whispered. There was a symbol in the middle of the Allspark symbol, I hesitated before placing the tips of my fingers on it.

"Jazlyn Melody Bass," I murmured before dropping my hand in shock.

"We have been watching you a long, long time. Jazlyn Melody Bass," A voice said startling me. I jumped up and looked around. The voice seemed to come from everywhere.

"You have fought for our cybertronians, our descendant with passion and care. You have been through our trails that you have surpassed easily. You, Jazlyn Melody Bass, have become the allspark." A second voice said. I looked towards the giant figures that were looking down on me from where I was on a platform.

"What?" I stuttered out, making the Primes laugh.

"You are the allspark," A prime repeated, I could almost see the smile on his faceplates.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me," I said shocked. The primes laughed at me again.

"No, we are not as you say, fucking kidding you," A prime said obviously amused with me.

"The Matrix? Why did it turn to dust?" I asked them.

"The Matrix is not found. It is earned. And only one worthy of the Matrix shall wield it," A prime told me.

I looked at my hand as I felt something form. There it was, the Matrix. "Holy eight fucks," I whispered in awe. I looked up at the primes.

"Thank you," I told them, a giant smile covering my face.

"Return now to Optimus. Merge the Matrix with his spark. It is, and always has been, your destiny, our Sister, Jazlyn Melody Bass, Allspark of Cybertron." A prime said as the landscape started to fade away.

◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧

"Jazlyn," was the first thing I heard as I woke up. My eyes fluttered making several people shout in shock as I held my hand to my head as I sat up.

"Holy fuck. Did I die or something?" I groaned before a familiar silver hand grabbed me.

"Don't you ever leave me lil' Jaz," Jazz said as he held me up to his face. I could see coolant in his optics from behind his visor.

"I'd never," I promised, hugging his face before backing up. I clenched my hand around the Matrix and held it up to him with a smirk. Jazz looked shocked before smiling at me as he put me down.

I was immediately pulled into a giant hug. "Will, can't breath," I choked out.

"Don't ever do that to all of us again," Will said sternly as he let go and looked me in the eyes. I gave a sheepish grin.

"No promises," I told him. He glared at me before our team embraced us in a group hug. The rest of the living Autobots smiling relieved and the dead ones gave me a smile then waved as they faded from sight, the battle seemed to start up again as they did.

"Optimus," I said quietly as I looked at his broken body. I then looked at the matrix then started to walk up to him. No one stopped me as I climbed over to his spark.

"Please come back," I whispered to him as I let the Matrix rest in his spark.

"Jazlyn, You returned for me." Optimus smiled at me when he woke from his death, as I climbed off him. Jazz picked me up instantly and I relished in the warmth of his armor. The all too familiar sparks that came with touching Jazz welcomed me.

"A living Prime. Hah hah! I don't believe it!" Jetfire laughed before the fallen came down.

"My! Matrix!" The Fallen cried out in happiness. As he knocked Optimus down and took the Matrix from him. I growled at the first evil Prime from Jazz. The Fallen took one look at me before disappearing. Lucky bastard.

"Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!" Sam yelled at Optimus.

"Get up, Prime!" Ironhide shouted

"Oh, no." Jetfire said making me look at the hole in his body.

"He's turning on the machine! You got to stop him! Get up! Optimus!" Sam yelled at the prime.

I could hear the conversation between the Fallen and Megatron thanks to being the magical allspark.

"Fallen, my master." Megatron bowed. I growled quietly at his figure in the distance. Jazz gave me a look as he protected me from any decepticons.

"My brothers could not stop me from this." The fallen said placing the Matrix into the machine.

"No, but your sister and your youngest brother will," I mutter, knowing that he'll hear me. His optics snapped toward me as Jazz had to place me on the ground so he could use both servos.

"Yeeess." Megatron hissed as I had to duck down to avoid a blast.

"Now I claim your sun." The Fallen said, smirking at me as I ducked behind a wall.

"Move!" Will shouted.

"Enemy target, top of pyramid. Engage! Engage! Engage!" Epps shouted.

"In moments, we'll be at firing strength." Megatron growled as N.E.S.T started firing at them. The fallen growled and used his scepter to alter gravity as I shot at a decepticon who was going to shoot Jazz. Stupid Cons trying to kill my guradian, my best friend, my family, my heart.

"All my Decepticon life, I never did a thing worth doing until now. Optimus, take my parts and you will have a power you've never known. Fulfill... your destiny..." Jetfire said before he offlined himself. My eyes widened. No.

"Jolt! Electrify! Transplant those afterburners." Ratchet shouted. I sent a little gift to help Optimus when no one was looking. I sent a smirk to the Fallen who glared wholeheartedly at me.

"Let's roll." Optimus said standing up as the new jet wings fired up and he flew away.

"Go Optimus," I muttered watching him before I had to move with the rest of the soldiers but unlike them I had Jazz to watch over me.

"Fire mission on the pyramids." Epps said into his radio.

"This planet will be dark forever." The Fallen growled in my direction.

Optimus flew in and got knocked off but at the last second he shot at the machine, destroying it before falling down the pyramid with Megatron and the Fallen.

"Die, like your brothers!" The fallen yelled at Optimus as us humans and rest of the autobots started taking down the last of the decepticons.

"They were your brothers, too." Optimus told the Fallen. I smirked at that as I shot a con who was trying to kill Ironhide.

"You picked the wrong planet! Give me your face." Optimus said as he took the Fallen's face off.

"I rise. You fall." Optimus said as our brother fell to the ground.

"No. No."

"Not to... call you a coward, Master, but sometimes cowards do survive." Starscream said to Megatron.

"This isn't over." Megatin said before transforming and flying away.

"It never is," I muttered, as I watched him leave sadly before joining Jazz once again as the last decepticon that was standing was taken down by Ironhide.

I hugged Jazz's finger. Getting laughter from my teammates when Jazz tried to shake me off. I poked my tongue out at my guardian who gave me a grin.

♧3rd POV♧  

Optimus stood on the edge of the boat with Sam. Jazlyn and Jazz were staying together like glue. After the couple of days they were apart, and Jazlyn's death, they didn't want it to happen again.

"Our races united by a history long forgotten, and a future we shall face... together. I am Optimus Prime. And I send this message so that our pasts will always be remembered. For in those memories, we live on."

♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧◇♧

"The Autobots and Humans will fall! The Allspark girl will finally be ours!" A large decepticon shouted as he held an important artifact, one that would surely do some damage to the alliance between the humans and the Autobots.

♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧

"Jazz?"

"Yeah, lil' Jaz?"

"When do you think this war will be over?"

"I don't know,"

"I miss him. I miss my dad,"

"I know, lil' one."

"Thanks for everything Jazz,"

"Your welcome,"

The pair watched the stars from a hill in the Lennox farm. Enjoying each others company. Hoping that they'd never be separated again.

♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧♤♧

"You're kidding me."

"Nope,"

"This is pure gold!"

"Knew you'd like it."

"Like it? I fucking love it. Au revoir Galloway!"
