General Narration

   All she heard was the sound of voices in a struggle for something. She opened her eyes and saw another robot. It was red and blue. It had a mask that covered his mouth and had blue eyes.

   "If it isn't the actual Optimus Prime. Here to save your pet?"

Helena P.O.V

   The red and blue robot, who seemed to be called Optimus Prime, said nothing as he attacked the gray robot. I clutched Orion's body as I looked at the two alien beings battle.

   "Human! Run and get away from here! Now!"

   Optimus Prime said in a deep demanding voice. I couldn't run. What would happen to Orion.

   "What about Orion!? I can't leave him!"

   "If you don't run, you'll end up in his state!"

   Optimus Prime left no room for argument. I looked down at Orion and kissed his forehead. I got up and ran the other way.

Optimus P.O.V

   I watched as Helena kissed my holoform and ran away. I hated so much to lie to her. I thought about our time together as I battled Megatron.

   "Nicely played, Optimus. She can run, but she can't hide. I'll find her and I will kill her."

   Megatron threatened as he transformed and headed into the direction Helena went.

   "No. Helena."

   I followed him, not spotting Helena. I lost sight of Megatron. That is until I heard screaming. I followed them and found Megatron had his canon pointed at Helena. She had the look of complete fear.

   "Goodbye filthy human."

Helena P.O.V

   I am so scared. I'm about to die.
I'm not ready to die. I closed my eyes and shouted the first thing that came to my mind.

    "ORION!!"

   Optimus P.O.V

   She called out to me. I ran in her direction with pure rage and worry.

   "HELENA!!"

General Narration

   Optimus shouted as he charged full speed at Megatron, jumping on a rock using it as leverage as he round kicked him in the face. Megatron flew back as he crashed into the trees behind him.

   "You'll never stop at one life, Megatron."

Helena P.O.V

   Optimus. His voice was so familiar. Wait. He just said my name. How the hell does he know my name!?

   "You....Know my name?"

   I heard him gasp a little as he faced me with a guilty expression.

   "How do you now my name!?"

   I asked in a demanding tone as I had an idea of who he sounded like. At that moment the gray robot, who was called Mega-something got back up. Optimus turned to face him as his arm transformed into a plasma blaster. He fired endlessly as Mega-whatever transformed into his plane mode and flew off, but not before swearing he'd come back. I let out a breath of anxiety as I looked up at Optimus.

   "Helena are you-"

   "Stop right there!"

   I demanded cutting him off as I backed up in fear.

   "How do you know my name? Who are you? What are you?"

   "Helena, please calm down."

   I heard a voice say as I looked to my left. It was Orion, but there wasn't a scratch on him.

   "Orion!?"

   I said in disbelief as he came closer to me.

   "I....I watched you die. I...I held you in my arms. How are you even standing?"

Orion/Optimus Prime P.O.V

   Helena asked with such a broken expression. I couldn't bear the sight of her in such a depressed state, let alone if it was my doing.

   "Helena let me explain first, please. Then you can decide if you trust me or not."

   I said as I neared her. She merely backed away.

   "I don't know how you are alive after that. So please tell me what the hell is going on."

   I nodded as I neared her once more. I grabbed her by the hands and pulled her nearer to me.

   "I think you need to sit down. Come."

   I made my true form transform.

Helena P.O.V

   The giant robot that once stood before me transformed into a truck. It was the same truck, Orion used to go home in.

   "What is that thing?"

   I asked fearfully.

   "Shhh, it's OK. Just get in. Don't worry nothing will happen."

   I went inside the truck and sat in the passenger seat as he sat in the driver seat.

   "You asked me; How am I alive? Well the truth is I am not human."

   I said bluntly, stopping so she could take it all in.

   "Is this a joke?"

   She asked as she rolled her eyes.

   "I assure you it's not, Helena. I am not from this world. I am an autonomous robotic organism  from a planet called Cybertron. Also known as an Autobot."

   I stopped once again to let her process what I just told her.

   "This is bullshit. You're lying!"

   "Helena I am not lying. I'm telling you nothing, but the truth. Can I continue?"

   Helena reluctantly nodded as I began once again.

   "I came to this world because my planet had been dying and was no longer able to support life. My name was once Orion Pax, but now I am called, Optimus Prime."

   I stopped again.

   "Optimus Prime. You have the same name as this robot."

   Helena said with a small, but visible smile. It disappeared instantly when she realized.

   "The robot. This truck. This form of you. It is all of you isn't it?"

   Orion nodded.

   "Helena when I came to this world, I did not come alone. I came with both, allies and enemies."

   He said as she sniffles.

   "By enemies you mean that gray robot and by allies you mean your brothers?"

   "Precisely."

   There was a long period of silence.

   "Helena that robot you saw today, his name is Megatron. As you know I'm Optimus Prime. Isaiah is actually Ironhide, Jacob is actually Jazz, Bruce is actually Bumblebee, and my Uncle Richard is actually Ratchet. We are all autonomous robotic organisms from the planet called Cybertron. We are called Autobots for short. All of us are, except for Megatron and those who follow him. They are called Decepticons. They are the ones who would and will destroy this planet if we don't stand against this."

   Helena said nothing as she took it all in. Optimus got worried as he grabbed hold of her hands. She slid them out of his hold and crossed her arms. Optimus sighed.

   "To finally answer your question, we need to step outside."

   Helena merely nodded as she opened the passenger door and jumped out, with Optimus not far behind.

   "This form of me. This human form. It's not real. This is just a holoform used to be able to walk among humans. Learn their ways and characteristics. To blend in. We are robots in disguise. You are one the few, one of the only humans who have ever seen us."

Helena P.O.V

   I looked up from looking down all this time and saw that Orion was gone well his holoform. I looked around and saw nothing but the truck.

   "As you said before, this is my true form."

   I heard a voice. I looked at the truck as it transformed into a robot.

   "This is my true form Helena. I am Optimus Prime."

   I didn't now what to say, after all this time we've known each other, he didn't tell me.

   "Why didn't you tell me this before? It would've saved me a whole lot of pain."

   I saw as Optimus had a pained expression. I turned around as tears just slid down my eyes.

   "Does this mean that Danielle, Erick, and Nick were in on this too?"

   "Yes."

   I sighed and just kept looking at the floor.

   "Helena, please. Look at me."

   I shook my head and began to walk away. I didn't know where I was gonna go. All I knew is that I wanted as much distance between me and---UGH!!! I didn't even know what to call him any more.

   "Where are you going? Helena.......Please! Stop!"

   I turned around and looked up at Optimus or Orion whatever.

   "NO YOU STOP!! I'M DONE!! We are done! Don't call me! Don't text me! If you actually value our friendship or what's left of it, then do me a favor! FORGET WE EVER MET AND DON'T FOLLOW ME OR COME ANYWHERE NEAR ME!!"

     Optimus closed his eyes and sighed painfully. I could tell he was holding in the tears.

   "As you wish.....Helena."

   I saw the look on his face as he said it in a soft and pained tone. I hated that expression I knew it too well. It was that of a broken heart. I felt so bad, but I wasn't about to show him that.

   With that said I continued to walk away. He didn't say a word.

Optimus P.O.V

   I watched as Helena walked away. I walked over to the edge of the cliff and watched as she got down safely. She stopped and looked back. I saw as a tear slid down her cheek before turning around and walking towards the city. I turned around and let the tears fall. I feel to my knees.

   "How could I have been so stupid?"

   I asked myself as I went through all the memories I had of Helena and I and our time together. What was this feeling. She was my friend, but why did it feel like I was being stabbed over and over again.

   "Helena, I'm so sorry."

   I said silently as I transformed and drove back to base. When I arrived my Autobots and human friends welcomed me with a smile. I couldn't smile back.

   "Optimus are you alright?"

   Ratchet asked me as the others had concerned expressions. I looked away and just went to my quarters.

General Narration

   The Autobots stood around asking each other about Optimus.

   "Does anyone know what happened?"

   Bumblebee asked with utmost concern for his leader.

   "How are we supposed to know? We've been here the whole time."

   Jazz answered Bumblebee's question with another question. Every one stood quiet for the moment. Danielle stood up and went into the direction Optimus had gone.

   " Danielle where are you going?"

   Ironhide asked as he watched her leave the room.

   "To see what is going on with pretty boy."

   That was all she said before vanishing into the hallway. 

Danielle P.O.V

   I went into the direction Optimus had headed and stood outside his door and knocked as I got there. 

   "Do not disturb me!"

I knew that tone of voice that Optimus used. It was his way of telling people not to disturb him under any circumstances. But that didn't stop me. I was as stubborn as all the decepticons combined.

   "Optimus open the door!'

   I said in a voice just as demanding as the voice he used to tell me to go away. 

   "Danielle why can't you just do what you're told!?"

   "Because I'm stubborn. Now open the damn door!"

   I said starting to get irritated. I heard him sigh as he came towards the door and slid it open.

  "Why are you coming in here with that attitude? What have I told you about that?"

   Optimus sighed and bowed his head.

   "Helena knows we are of Cybertron. She does not wish to see or speak with me or any of us. It was a mistake to get involved with the humans we should've had no contact with them at all of the sort."

  I understood. 

   "Optimus don't say that. That's not true. You know its not."

  "How do you know, Danielle, You were not there. You didn't see the way she looked at me."

   "Maybe not, but I know what she's going through. She's hurt. Give her time. She'll come around. I went through the same thing. I came back didn't I? I'm sure she will too."

   Optimus sighed as he closed the door once more.
