Chapter 15: Hello, Cybertron to Bumblebee part 2

Last Time: Lincoln and the others, along with their Autobot companions had discovered Energon that was far too powerful for anyone when the Decepticons appeared something went wrong as Skywarp had sent them to Cybertron, the Transformer's home world

Cybertron 4.6 Million years ago

Bumblebee was outside of MacCadam's old oil house, they looked up at the sign and were thinking about going inside of the building but stopped himself and turned around to avoid the building but was stopped as he heard a voice.

"Bumblebee! Is that your old friend!" Said the voice as it came from behind Bumblebee before he turned around. "What brings you here? I was just packing up." Said the bot named MacCadam.

"M-MacCadam, I was just-- I wanted to say goodbye, but I didn't have the spark and so I thought of--"

"Thought of not saying goodbye, come inside Bumblebee, have a drink, who knows when we'll see each other again," MacCadam said as he placed a hand over Bumblebee's shoulder before taking him inside. The inside of the bar looked almost abandoned and quiet, with no sign of life.

They made it to the counter of the bar and MacCadam walked behind it and grabbed two glasses and a bottle that was half full of a blue liquid that they poured into the cups and gave one to Bumblebee. "Let us just drink and enjoy the time we have had here, who knows when will next see each other."

"MacCadam, I am sorry for leaving and--" Before Bumblebee even finished MacCadam continued.

"Don't say you're sorry for wanting to save others Bee, you just do what you think is right, don't ask for forgiveness for that," MacCadam said as he picked up his glass and drank with Bumblebee doing the same.

Cybertron, Present day

The Autobots Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Jazz, Chromia, Ironhide, Jetfire, and Sparkplug, with their human companions Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, Stella, and Clyde with Decepticons Nickel, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Buzzsaw, Foxwire, Tankor, and the Insecticon Waspinator were all standing in a bar, the owner named MacCadam, who had a friendly smile on their face. "MacCadam?"

"Bumblebee!" The bot named MacCadam walked up to Bee and gave him a bearhug even lifting him up, then put them back down to let them go. "Look at you, did you get a new paint job?"

MacCadam

-Neutral

-Chemical tanker

-The greatest bartender you'll ever meet

"MacCadam, what are you doing here?" Bumblebee asked.

"Why I own this place, what do you think I would leave these places without any care?" MacCadam said to Bumblebee as they went behind a counter, pulled out some giant glasses, and poured a blue liquid into them.

"No, why didn't you leave Cybertron? Everyone else did." Said Bumblebee.

"Oh, I do leave Cybertron from time to time, just to get resources and a few things." Said MacCadam. He then noticed the other Autobots and greeted them. "Oh, I am so sorry I almost forgot the rest of you all, Jazz and Hot Rod, I hope you're both doing well."

"I mean as of late but right now... Not so much." Said Hot Rod as they are stuck on Cybertron.

"I see, well you can all have a drink on the house." He then turned his attention to the Decepticons. "Thundercracker, Skywarp..." MacCadam's expression changed from a friendly elderly figure to one of an impatient one. "You both better be here to pay your tab." Both Thundercracker and Skywarp didn't seem like they had an answer but gave a nervous smile as they didn't know what to say to him.

"MacCadam, why didn't you leave Cybertron permanently, Cybertron is-" Bumblebee said before MacCadam started to speak again.

"Dead? No, it isn't, it is still here, and in one piece, it can still hold life for us, we just need to find a new way of getting our fuel, our Energon." MacCadam said as he handed Bumblebee a glass of Energon. "Now, why did you return to Cybertron? Last I heard you and the others left for earth an awfully long time ago."

"Skywarp got us here when he used his teleportation ability mixed with Nucleon graded Energon. We need to get back home soon." Jazz had explained to MacCadam.

"Ah, Nucleon, I really don't like that stuff, but you all don't need to threat my friends for I have both good news and bad news for you all," MacCadam explained to the Autobots, Decepticons, humans, and Waspinator.

"Good news?" Skywarp asked wanting to know.

"I can get you all access to a Space bridge to get you all back onto earth," MacCadam said to them all as they all liked this information about this, but they all remembered that MacCadam also had another thing about what he was talking. "The bad news is that it needs fuel, I may have Energon, but I only have enough for drinks."

"Well great, how are we going to find an energy source on a broken planet, no offense guys." Ronnie Anne said to the Autobots who didn't take any ill-will from it as it was true, Cybertron is technically a broken planet anyway due to all the damage.

"She does make a good point however, where can we look for energy on the planet, I mean there could still be other Cybertronians, but I doubt they'd help us, maybe we could-" Hot Rod suggested with a few brainstorm ideas, but it was Nickel that produced a plan.

"One of Shockwave's research labs." Said Nickel with everyone looking at her, she was beside a wall using one of the Junkions, who was crouched down, like a stepping stool to use a terminal on the wall, the screen was a little cracked but was still usable. The screen was purple with many symbols and the Decepticon logo on it. "With the help of this terminal, I've learned that Shockwave had no working space bridge, but he could have some sort of energy source, both I and Foxwire can easily get the energy and-"

"No," Said Ironhide, they all looked at him, he looked like he didn't agree to the plan completely. "I am not trusting both you alone with only Decepticons to a laboratory with who knows what could be in there."

"I agree with Ironhide, we don't know what is in that lab, so I suggest that most of us go to this lab, while some of us stay here," Jetfire explained before speaking as he had thought as who will go and who would stay. "Ironhide, Chromia, Jazz, Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Foxwire, will have to stay behind while the rest of us will go to the lab and carry anything that could help us get home quicker, as for our humans they can stay here and-"

"Wait, Jetfire, as much as I find this a good plan, I was thinking about taking the humans out to see some of Cybertron?" Jazz had suggested to Jetfire.

"Are you sure? The Driller-worm was not the only threat that could be out there." Said Jetfire as if Jazz did take them outside, they could get into trouble.

"I promise to keep them safe and plus, I could show them some spots that they would like to visit." Jazz explained with the humans agreeing with what he was offering, seeing more of the amazing city of Cybertron and an entire world with who knows what could be on it. Jetfire turned to the other Autobots who all seemed to agree as it could be a good way to learn more about their home world. "Alright, but we can't leave them with just you maybe Chromia or Ironhide could come with-"

"And then insert the Wreck-Gar for more flavor!" Wreck-Gar said as they jumped in front of Jetfire, out of just nowhere. "We can go with them, spend time with the humans and protect them, and don't worry both Junkheap and Scrapheap are two of my finest pals and fighters," Wreck-Gar said with two other Junkions named Scrapheap and Junkheap, they had similar body types with different helmets, faces, and both missing Wreck-Gar's nipple cannons, every time I describe that about him it makes me want to laugh out loud.

Scrapheap and Junkheap

-Junkion

-Junked Dirt-bike

-Twin collectors of trash, now with Kung Fu grip

"I mean the more the merrier, we could use some other help just in case," Lincoln said agreeing with getting help from Wreck-Gar and the other two Junkions, plus they did seem friendly. Jetfire did know that Junkions aren't hostile, well most of the time they can easily take down a lot of threats.

"Alright, I guess that can work, we'll head out soon after we both recharge and come up with a plan of action," Jetfire explained as both he and Hot Rod went to Nickel to discuss where it will be they are heading out, Jazz was talking to the humans for where they were going to go first, Ironhide and Chromia just talked about watching over the two Seekers and Foxwire, the ladder of which were having Energon, Waspinator was just standing there before realizing that his teammates are probably not worried but are most likely angry that he hasn't returned to their ship yet.

Bumblebee had walked up to MacCadam's counter and had one question on his mind that he needed to ask. "I almost forgot, where are Tusk and Lickity-Split?"

"Oh, the last time I saw them was a few earths years ago, both they and a few civilians went to live on a few colonies planets to avoid the war as they did, most of those other planets wanted nothing to do with this war," MacCadam said as he started to clean glass in their hand. "I can respect that choice they made, staying out of a fight, not to avoid fighting but to avoid taking a life."

"I'm sorry to hear that you're working here alone... Hey, maybe you and anyone else on Cybertron can leave and come with us to earth-"

"I'm afraid I have to decline that offer Bee, for myself, and as I said, there is no one left on Cybertron other than everyone here, and someone needs to take care until I finish what I am working on then after I'll leave and... hopefully one day return," MacCadam said as he looked a little down from one day leaving Cybertron.

"Working? What are you--"

"Enough talk Bee, you should get ready," MacCadam said as he handed Bumblebee another glass of Energon, he knew better than to not take the advice of MacCadam, when he give advice, it is best to follow what he says.

After some time of resting and getting things ready for their mission Bumblebee, Sparkplug, Buzzsaw, Nickel, Tankor, Jetfire, Waspinator, and Hot Rod all got ready and drove off to the location that Nickel had discovered, Jazz and the humans left with Wreck-Gar, and twins Junkheap and Scrapheap, while Ironhide, Chromia, Foxwire, Skywarp, and Thundercracker staying behind at MacCadam's.

It was a short drive to the lab with Bee's crew as they made it to what looked to be a wrecked statue, once they stopped, they all exited their Alt modes in front of the damaged statue which was missing their head and had writing all over it. "Is this, Sentinel Prime's statue? What happened to it?"

"What do you think happened, he was a functionist narcissistic who thought a caste system would work he had what was coming to him. The statue was damaged during the war by Soundwave and Blitzwing who blasted its head off. Anyway, the lab's entrance is inside the statue, thanks to the Constructicons who built it without anyone knowing they are that good." Nickel had explained as she pressed her hand against the plate on the statue that said who it was, which had a hidden button that opened a secret door on its side. "Um, hey Waspinator correct? Could you go in first for us, please?"

"Um... okay, don't know why Wazzpinator but if you need me, then here I go," Waspinator said as they entered the hidden door leading straight down, jumping into the hole, and finding himself in a tunnel.

"Why did you send Waspinator in there?" Hot Rod asked with the others also looking confused.

"It's simple, as Megatron once told me when checking for booby traps..." Nickel was about to explain but down in the tunnel with Waspinator when they took their first step the room started to glow up with light and out from the ceiling and walls looked to be turrets that had sight lasers all pointing at Waspinator. The others heard laser fire and lights from the hole followed by the sounds of screams of fear and pain from Waspinator. "... You send in a boob."

Down in the tunnel, Waspinator was corralling down close to the ground to avoid getting shot but when he got deeper down the tunnel two large hammers came out of both ends of the walls in between Waspinator and started to smash them with powerful blows.

Waspinator managed to crawl down but had stopped as the walls closed in and crushed him before going back, then the ceiling fell before going back up, and then the floor went up forcing him to crash into the ceiling.

Waspinator then finally made it to the end where he was in front of a door and got up on his feet, was this the end of the road of the tunnel? That was what he thought until once he placed a hand on the door a small opening appeared near the lower part of the door and something came out, a round-shaped object attached to a stick, like a comedic boxing glove it came out and hit Waspinator in the stomach area, hard.

After being hit in that area, Waspinator started to hear something, beeping? He looked down and saw that the round object was both beeping and blinking red light, it wasn't a ball or boxing glove that hit him, it was a bomb. "Oh, zzcrap." was all he said.

On the outside of the tunnel, the others were all waiting for Waspinator to return after he was sent to check for traps but all of them were surprised after hearing an explosion and seeing smoke come out of the hole, while Nickel was the only one who didn't seem surprised at what had happened. "Wazzpinator has been hit by a few trapzz," said Waspinator with his voice in a little pain.

Waspinator Owned Counter: 14

The following Autobots and Decepticons all then entered the tunnel and saw all the damaged traps and the soot on the walls, they then saw Waspinator covered in soot like a cartoon character from the 1940s. "You okay Waspinator?" Bumblebee said as he placed a hand on their shoulder as they had fallen on the ground.

"He's fine, now then..." Nickel said as she opened the door to a large laboratory with tons of equipment. "Let's see what Shockwave left in his lab."

Elsewhere on Cybertron, the Autobot Jazz along with three driverless motorcycles that looked to be made of scrap metal being the Junkion Wreck-Gar, Junkheap, and Scrapheap were driving down the many streets of Cybertron. Jazz had only been driving around and passing by buildings like this was a tour both to save time and he didn't want them to get into trouble.

They had seen some sights that they chose to drive by the great racing station that Hot Rod was talking about, the academy that Jazz worked at, and even the grand hall of Cybertron, where the war first began.

The city was beyond dead silent, just hearing anything was rarely other than Jazz, there was no life, but the humans were still amazed by how the city looked if it was amazing how they just wondered what it was like in its prime. "Whoa, this place is so cool Jazz, where are we?"

"Well Clyde, this place would have to be--" Jazz said before stopping in front of a large dome building, it was much larger than anything within the city. "--The Great Dome of Iacon! Not only was it the first Autobot base during the war but also it was the capital of Iacon."

"Whoa, it looks so cool." Said Lincoln as he was amazed.

"This was your first base?" Said Ronnie Anne admiring the sight of the dome.

"Awesome!" Both Stella and Clyde said that the location was a remarkable sight, not only by how outstanding the building looked but also by the history.

"Yeah, this was our first base and our last as it was the launch sight of both the Ark and other ships before we left Cybertron." Jazz said as they made it to the front entrance of the dome with them blown open. "Before we left Megatron led an attempt to stop us by attacking us, we did have to hold them off for a bit. There were a few ships, the Ark, the Eight Track, The Longbow, and a few more that we used to take off and to find a new world that could either hold life or help bring back life to Cybertron."

Once they got inside, they saw the place was covered in either blast marks or had holes in the wall, clearly the sight of a firefight. The hallway was full of statues made of metal, the lack of light within had covered them with shadows making it hard for anyone to see them. The group then made further down the hallway entering the building without knowing that something was watching them.

One of the statues seemed to move on its own and moved out of view from the humans and Jazz as they walked. "This place is huge, what else was it used for?" Lincoln asked.

"It was both our main base, and it was also a science facility holding all sorts of stuff." Said Jazz as they kept on walking, after a few minutes of walking they found themselves inside a large room with what looked to be a window and a control panel. "This just so happens to be the launchpad area for one of the ships."

"Man, Lisa would just fall in love here if there was power... something just hit me now," Lincoln said with Jazz and the others turning to him. "Once you guys find a way to fix Cybertron... are you all going to leave the earth a stay back on Cybertron?"

Jazz didn't answer immediately, it was a good question that they never really thought about, would their friends leave once they win the world or find a way to bring their home world back? "If I am going, to be honest with you guys..." Jazz said as he walked up to a seat and sat down. "... I and few others might not leave earth when this is all over, I have spent so much time on earth that I see it as if it was always my home, it's not just me, both Bumblebee, Tracks, Blaster, Hot Rod, even Optimus sees the earth as our home."

"So, you guys won't be leaving?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"We hope so." Jazz said with a smile on his face and looking at the humans, he didn't want to disappoint them, and what he said was true they see the earth as their home too. He then noticed something-- no someone was listening to them. "Who's there?" Jazz said as he raised his weapon at the entrance, the Junkions then grabbed their own weapons both the twins Junkheap and Scrapheap both held pipe-shaped weapons that released red energy from one side of them and Wreck-Gar had what looked like a boat router glowing red.

Someone was by the side of the entrance to the door, then walked into view entering the room and into the light from the window. "Please, I'm sorry if I spooked you or alarmed you, I am just a simple scavenger, I swear." Said the voice of a Cybertronian with their voice sounding old and wise. They had a red torso, their legs, shoulder, and arms were covered in purple armor, a red helmet, and purple horns on it, their back had a light purple cape, their face was the most unique about them, they had a white beard and mustache.

Jazz looked them over, they didn't have a fresh paint job that was for sure, but they didn't have any dirt or scratches on them, simple or scavenger were two words that didn't explain who they were but Jazz didn't want to provoke this unknown bot since they didn't seem hostile. "Right, you've got a name "simple scavenger"?" Jazz asked.

"You got thirty seconds to answer the question correctly, you get it right you get the mystery prize!" Said Wreck-Gar with their voice full of energy, like a game show host.

"Get it wrong and you get broken kneecaps!" Said both Junkheap and Scrapheap as they stood by the sides of the new face, with them getting ready just to start a fight, but the elderly bot grabbed Junkheap's arm and popped it off, if it weren't for them being made of junk it would have seriously hurt them. They then grabbed the pipe weapon out of the hands and used it on Scrapheap knocking them down.

Wreck-Gar then stepped into action, the weapon in his hand was charging up with some sort of red energy. "The best kind of melee weapon is the one that shoots lasers!" The blade on the weapon then released energy from it aiming for the elderly robot but they blocked it easily and deflected it towards Junkheap, doing the same to him as did his friend Scrapheap. "Oops, sorry friend, I'll send you a gift basket to say I'm--" Wreck-Gar said before getting his head punched clean off making it hit a wall before rolling off the floor and stopping next to the humans.

"Wreck-Gar! Are you--?" Stella was asking them not sure if they were okay or not.

"Don't worry kids!" said Wreck-Gar's severed head shocking them as they were still talking even though they were just ahead. "We Junkions may not be the strongest, but we can take anything, impressive since we are made of scrap, wires, and very cheap glue."

The old robot stopped as Jazz aimed a laser at their head and shouted: "Enough! You will stop and tell us who you are, we get you felt threatened, but we just wanted an answer of who you are!" Jazz said as the elderly robot dropped the weapon and turned to Jazz with the Junkions putting themselves back together.

"I am just an unarmed bot who saw you all enter my temporary place of rest and thought you were part of the scavengers who tried to rob me the last time they were here, I am again sorry for giving you a fright." Said the old robot.

"Alright, but that doesn't answer who you are?" Said Jazz as he protected the humans.

"You can call me Trion." Said the old bot calling themself Trion.

Trion

-Neutral

-Cybertronian Ship

-An old wise sage

"Trion, where did I hear that name before?" Clyde said as he thought heard that name from somewhere before.

"I choose to name myself after a ship called the Trion, which is most likely where you've heard it small life from, also what are they doing here on Cybertron?" Trion asked.

"Long story, but I guess we should also be saying sorry for entering your home, this used to be an old Autobot base, and thought it was abandoned." Lincoln had explained to the bot who was called Trion.

"It is fine, I normally let others in for shelter, but it has been some time since someone had visited, I was also about to see my old friend at the Oil house," Trion said to them with the others wondering if he was talking about MacCadam.

"You mean at MacCadam's, right?" Jazz asked with Trion nodding their head. "We should head back soon anyway, just to make sure that Ironhide and Chromia won't kill Thundercracker and Skywarp."

"Seriously, but we have only seen a few spots on Cybertron," Clyde said with the others also looking disappointed.

"Sorry guys, next time we show up on Cybertron we can see more of it." Jazz said to the humans before turning to Trion. "If you want you can come along with us, to MacCadam's old oil house."

"That would be most appreciated, I do like a company that doesn't shoot first before they introduce themselves," Trion said as they all moved out of the room. They all made it to the entrance of the Great Dome with both Jazz and the Junkions transforming into their earth-based Alt modes and Trion turning to a Cybertronian starship, the humans entered Jazz as they all drive away Jazz had to ask Trion about something. "Hey, Trion, are you sure you want to leave your base, you said some scavengers came in and robbed you."

"I appreciate your concerns but not to worry as I did set a security system for whenever I leave." Trion said as they left, five Cybertron's all wearing dark colors exited out of view near the entrance of the Great Dome and all looked at each other with smug looks as they entered the building for whatever it was inside, once they entered the sound of something saying "Intruders detected!" followed by a ton of laser fire going off, clashing of metal, and the sounds of painful screams exit the entrance and four out of the five scavengers running out of the building.

"Okay, that was a bad idea, why didn't we check for traps before- wait a minute." Said one of the scavengers before doing a headcount and saw that one of them was missing, "Crankcase where's Flywheel."

"I don't know Misfire; I think he died or something before--" The one named Crankcase said before a voice could be heard.

"I'm still alive and you left me behind you son of a glitch! The statues that came to life cut off my legs! I asked for your help, and you left me behind! Get back in here and help me!" Said the voice of Flywheel from the inside, the one named Crankcase wanted to take some steps back away but was stopped by the other three who all pointed towards the entrance so he would know where he is supposed to go, then he went inside with the sounds starting up again.

Back with Bumblebee and his crew, they were in Shockwave's lab looking for a substitute energy source for MacCadam's space bridge, but they found either old equipment or broken parts of Transformers. It looked a little bit like a horror movie scene with arms and legs attached to the ceiling and the lights barely providing light for them.

Bumblebee and Hot Rod were searching through heavy boxes, Sparkplug was looking in small areas, Tankor was lifting heavy boxes and dumping the contents on the floor while Waspinator was searching through what fell out, and Jetfire was trying to get some lab equipment online to get information, but he was full of discussing at the sight of the lab, it was just not right. Parts of Transformers were all over the ceiling like they were prized trophies or materials for experiments. "Any luck?" Bumblebee said as he and Hot Rod were finished looking in a box.

"Wazzpinator and Tankbot have found nothing," Waspinator said as Tankor dropped the box but luckily for Waspinator they moved out of the way before getting hit and looked at Tankor with a menacing look while the Vehicon didn't notice.

"This is hopeless, Nickel said that his Shockwave's lab would hold something we would need, hey Nickel are you sure this is the right--" Jetfire said as he looked around for the Mini-con but saw she was nowhere in sight. "Nickel? Where did she go? Wait, where is Buzzsaw as well?"

Everyone then looked around only to see that both Decepticon Mini-Cons were indeed missing, they then started to look around wondering if they had wandered off or were taken. They didn't know that they were in a different area. Both Nickel and Buzzsaw were in a large room with a lab table in the center, the large computer on the wall opposite side of the room from the door, on another wall what looked to be a large chamber made of glass, and on the last remaining wall were some tools and five golden and glowing rods on the all with writing above them that was written in Cybertronian and said: Conductor rods, don't drop them again Blitzwing.

"I think they noticed that we left them... why did we leave them?" Sai Buzzsaw as he asked Nickel, she just dragged him off into the room as a lookout thanks to his Predacon form his senses were more than twice as a better than a normal Transformer making him a good lookout.

Nickel was on their rocket pack under the computers taking apart the inside, removing parts, chips, and wires from the machine for her own use, in one of her hands she had what looked to be another tablet made from spare parts of the computer.

"When we Decepticons left Cybertron, Shockwave and a few others volunteered to stay behind to control it under Megatron's orders, we ended up crashing onto earth 4 million years ago and when we first woke up in 1984 we only had one contact on Cybertron and they said that a few thousand years after we left, Shockwave followed after us to see what had happened with a few Decepticons, we never knew happened." Nickel explained as she had risen from the ground and set all parts she salvaged from the computer on the table.

"So, then why is it that we are here then?" Buzzsaw asked as Nickel started to place all the parts and the remains of her old tablet together.

"Well, you see Buzzsaw, I didn't just lead us to this lab because it was close, but because this lab was not only the last one that Shockwave used but also the one, he was sending his data and notes to from his ship when he left Cybertron." Nickel said as she finished her tablet, showing information that she wanted.

As she was watching her tablet, they heard a knock on the door with Sparkplug saying to them: "Hiss Oh--Hiss--Nickel--Hiss--I'm respecting your privacy by knocking but asserting my authority as your--Hiss--temporary partner--Hiss--by coming in any way!" With that, the door was knocked down by the Vehicon Tankor, they were just simply asked to knock down the door by the Autobots and they didn't seem to mind.

When they all entered the room, they saw that Nickel was messing with one of Buzzsaw's hands, replacing his original sawblade hand with a real one and Buzzsaw looking like they were passed out from the pain. She turned to them and said: "Oh, hello, I was just giving Buzzsaw real hands."

"Why is he passed out?" Hot Rod asked with concern.

"Well, he wouldn't be still, and I didn't have anything that could take away pain, so I just ripped his hand off... it worked, but it seems this hand isn't a match for him." Nickel said as she just removed the real hand and placed the original one back on. "Also, we found that."

They all then saw the conductor rods, a form of energy normally used to make a space bridge activate as a fuel source. "You found this and didn't tell us immediately?" Said Jetfire and Nickel just giving an innocent smile that was clearly fake.

The crew then exited the lab with Bumblebee and Hot Rod carrying the conductor rods, they wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. Before fully leaving Nickel turned back at the lab and tossed something into the lab. "Nickel, what did you throw?" Jetfire asked.

"A bomb." Nickel explained as the lab exploded surprising the Autobots. "Didn't want to leave the lab for you Autobots to search it later."

"Wait did Waspinator get out before us, or--" Bumblebee asked as they all looked to see Waspinator leaving the lab from the smoke and flames and saw that they fell.

Waspinator Owned Counter: 15

They later left the area to return to MacCadam, the Autobots were questioning as to what Nickel was really doing but they just wanted to get home as soon as possible, once they made it to MacCadam's old oil house, they saw Jazz, the Junkion and the new member Trion. "Hey, you guys any luck?" Jazz asked as everyone had transformed out of their Alt modes and the humans out of Jazz to greet each other.

"Well, we found some conductor rods, those will power the Space bridge to get us to earth, maybe we can convince MacCadam to come with us and-- Wait, who is this guy?" Hot Rod asked as he showed the others the energy source for there was home.

"This guy says his name is Trion, he said he was going to MacCadam and invited him here with us." Jazz explained to the others. "I guess we can all get home now, at least we didn't have to--" Jazz said before they all heard a loud bang coming from the inside of the building, everyone ran towards MacCadam's old oil house, and once they all entered they saw all the Junkions all standing around something that was happening and everyone pushed them to the side to get past them.

What they saw was surprising to them as it was a view of the five Transformers that they left behind were around a table, Foxwire was on the ground with their snout in a pile of pink liquid as they were on their side, Skywarp had his face down on the table with their face looking all inebriated, Chromia was slouched overusing her hands to keep her head up, both Ironhide and Thundercracker we standing up and were drinking from mugs that held a pink liquid inside of it.

Once both mugs were empty, they both slammed them to the table, they both seemed quiet and just stood there until Thundercracker had the same face that Skywarp had before falling to the ground and all the Junkions cheered as like Ironhide was the winner of a game. "What is going on here?" Clyde asked with MacCadam walking towards them.

"Oh, once you all left those five were on the brink of killing each other so I told them to partake in a little drinking game, Ironhide is on his fifth glass of Carbonated Energon, it's like alcohol for humans," MacCadam said to the humans.

"Why did we do a drinking game with a guy who is both bulkier and heavier than us?!" Skywarp asked sounding clear as he tried to get up before falling back onto the table.

"Because MacCadam told us to drink and we all know when he tells you something you listen or end up like Fang," Chromia answered.

"Oh yeah, I remember Fang, Ha-ha, what an idiot," Skywarp said trying to get back up before falling hard on the ground.

Nickel facepalmed herself and knew they couldn't return like this for many reasons. "I can't even-- Why did you think this was a good idea?!" Nickel said to MacCadam showing frustration.

"Calm yourself, my friend, I still need to do some finishing touches on the space bridge until then just watch over them, so they don't break anything," MacCadam said as Ironhide had stood on the table with a face of pure glory like he won a fight single-handedly but the table below him had snapped in half forcing him to fall. "Anything else..." MacCadam said as he went back into the back of his bar.

Nickel just told Tankor to carry and hold Thundercracker and Skywarp so they wouldn't do anything dangerous as she and Buzzsaw carried Foxwire with the former being concerned for the whale the ladder was questioning why they were helping until they remember that Nickel could easily kill him, Jazz helped carry Chromia but having her arm over his shoulder, Ironhide saw that everyone was being carried and said: "Oh, were carrying everybody, that-that is sweet of y'all, -you Wasp guy you carry me!" Ironhide said in a state of mind that was not good and jumped into the arms of Waspinator who was not ready for Ironhide, who just landed in their arms and they both fell, Waspinator getting crushed.

Waspinator Owned Counter: 16

They had to postpone their way back to earth until the others were back to normal, so the Autobots and Decepticons watched their own to keep them from doing anything stupid while the humans watched the screens with earth TV, the Dream Boat. They were on the counter of the bar as it would be too dangerous for them to stay on the ground.

The Transformer named Trion had sat down on a stool that allowed him to sit next to the humans. They looked as if they were staring off into space, almost lost in pure thought. Clyde and Stella were the first to walk up to them before he looked like he was back in focus and noticed the humans. "Oh, hello there, came to ask me something?"

"Um, yeah we kind of wanted to know why were you at the great dome, you said you've been living there for a while." Clyde had asked them.

"Oh, I lived there before and after the Autobots were formed and took it as their base. I was the head researcher there long before the war even started." Trion said to them, he noticed that they had gotten interested in what he said which in turn made him smile. "I spent my time there either at the Great Dome or in the great library of Cybertron, the largest location of knowledge, but every moment I would always see the glory of this world even before the age of rust, the war, so much that I want to share little friends. I have even met Optimus Prime near the beginning of the war."

"You met Optimus before?" Stella questioned.

Trion looked at the humans with interest, they knew Optimus Prime. "You met him as well? And you call him only Optimus, that must mean that you really know him well, yes, he was a young and naive Bot before the war--even before being a Prime--he even trusted his greatest of friends, but when the war began, he had to change for the better, he never let the war change him into the worst foe of the Autobots and stayed as the greatest with morals and a code of honor." Trion had told to the humans.

"Before he was a Prime? I thought he was--" Stella was about to ask before Trion interrupted her.

"Formed as a Prime? No, Prime is not a simple name that others can just have when they are formed, but it is a name one gains by the choice of Prima's will, through the Matrix." Trion had explained to them, he knew that they didn't know just what the Matrix was, so he continues. "The Matrix is a relic of Primus given to the first Prime, Prima who had given his life for Cybertron, some even say that the Matrix holds the very spark and memory of Prima himself. The Matrix is now with Optimus Prime within him."

"What's stopping someone from claiming they were a Prime?" Lincoln asked.

"No one has ever tried, either because they don't have proof to show that they are or because no one would believe them, the title of Prime isn't just simply given to anyone after all," Trion explained to them. "If you ask me, Cybertron would have been better if-- well if there were more Primes for our home, then maybe we could have avoided this war."

"Yeah, Cybertron right now is... like cyberpunk meets Detroit in that 1980s Robocop. But with what Jazz told me about it before the war, it had to be amazing!" Clyde said to Trion who listened to the small earth teenager who continued about what he knew about Cybertron, the outstanding sights of the city, The Great Dome, knowing his basics on the Cybertronian language and even a brief history of some events before the war such as the origin of Primus and Unicron. Trion was impressed with Clyde's knowledge and even saw that they could be an expert or even teach himself someday.

"Tell me you name small human?" Trion asked.

"Oh, I'm Clyde McBride sir," Clyde said to Trion who reached for something behind them, it looked to be a giant golden key, they pressed the center of the body of the key which started to change in size and shape before turning small as a smart phone and handed it to Clyde. "What is that?" Clyde asked.

"This Clyde MacBride, this is a key that holds infinite knowledge of Cybertron, its entire history, culture, and even more about our people, I have been holding onto this for the longest time and I believe you should hold onto it if you want you can give it to Optimus Prime but don't let it fall into the hands of the Decepticons," Trion said as he handed it to Clyde who held it in their hand.

"Whoa, this is so--" Clyde said before MacCadam came back into the room.

"Alright everyone, everything is set, you can all go to earth now!" MacCadam said as the others all started to go into the back, the large room had a huge ring inside of the wall with wires, tubes, and other parts attached to it. This was the makeshift Space bridge that looked brand new.

"Whoa, how and when did you get all of this MacCadam?" Hot Rod asked as he was impressed by this room and wondered how long they've had this.

"Oh, I just got it all today, with the conductor rods you brought, it has enough energy for one jump. I do hope you all get home safe, especially you Waspinator, you... you need all the luck really." MacCadam said to them.

"Thank you," Waspinator said to them.

"MacCadam, thank you so much for getting us help and a way home, this is just a great amount of kindness," Bumblebee said to MacCadam, showing that they were grateful for what MacCadam was doing for them.

"Don't mention it Bumblebee just get home with the humans, and as for you two..." MacCadam said as he turned to Thundercracker and Skywarp. "You both better pay for your tab next time," MacCadam told them making them avoid eye contact.

MacCadam started to activate the space bridge which started up with it opening a blue portal within the ring, a large ramp started to lift from the ground and stopped along with the portal as a platform. "Alright guys, well head back to earth and then will go our separate ways--"

"Junkions! Let's get this party started!" Wreck-Gar yelled out as both he and the other Junkions all started to run and drive off into the space bridge to earth, the Autobots were surprised by this action and Decepticons were a little annoyed at this as Junkions were now going to earth. Once the last of the Junkions had entered through the portal, the others looked shocked.

"What the-- did they just-- Why did they--?" Ironhide questioned.

"Junkions really love earth due to human TV, plus while you were drinking, they asked if they could go and you did say yes," MacCadam explained, Ironhide had the idea of this as he was intoxicated at the time, they all then saw that the portal was starting to become unstable. "I think you should all go now, if you ever come back to Cybertron give me a call and I'll save some drinks for you all."

The Autobots and Decepticons had started run towards the space bridge, but Bumblebee had hesitated at first and looked at MacCadam and wanted to ask them to come with them just one last time, but MacCadam already knew what he was going to ask and shake their head, not saying it but still telling him he won't be leaving. Bumblebee wished he could change their mind but knew they wouldn't and ran through the portal, leaving Cybertron once more.

The portal then shut down, not because it was out of power but because it was turned off by MacCadam who turned to look at Trion. "Trion, really?"

"Sorry that I never had the chance to make up a name for myself," Trion said to MacCadam.

"We're both over forty million years old and you haven't even thought of using a fake name and just remove a part of your real name, really Alpha Trion."

"Don't judge old friend, now then do you think I made the right choice by giving them the key?"

"... There is no telling but, if you ask me the key is better off in the hands of those humans, they may be children, but I have faith in them, as so does Optimus Prime."

Earth

The portal had opened and where they were in a giant desert canyon, somewhere in the Mojave desert, it was night, the Junkions were all there running around like they were having a party without lights, drinks, or food while they still had music as they were playing music as they move around. The portal was about to close but the Autobots, humans, Decepticons, and Waspinator had all exited through it before it closed.

"Looks like we made it back to earth, I guess this is where we part our ways Autobots," Thundercracker said as he helped up both Skywarp and Nickel.

"Yeah, I guess it is, but remember Decepticons, next time we meet we will take you all down," Ironhide said as they turned and remembered they must deal with the Junkions. The Decepticons just walked away as they wanted to get away from both Autobots and Junkions but as they left, they took Waspinator with them.

"Waspinator right, you said there were more Insecticons right? Could you tell me more about them, please?" Nickel asks sounding sweet and caring but the others knew it was an act.

After about an hour of getting back to the Ark, Ironhide, Bumblebee, and Jetfire had informed Optimus Prime about everything they went through, the other Autobots were worried day and night with both the Autobots and humans just being M.I.A. for over the past few earth hours. They met MacCadam, Trion, and went through Shockwave's lab and the Junkions who came to earth.

Vincent was the most stressed out as the kids were missing for hours and even started to panic as they no were and due to the incident with the last Pretender unit, the project was put on hold indefinitely until further notice so he couldn't just make Pretenders make their families think they were okay until he thought of what to do, while agent O'Neal was taking care of it all making it seem that they were at each other's houses studying for classes and to hang out and even infiltrated their phone signals to make it seem they were calling them but really it was a team who pulled of the stunt.

When they got back Clyde was allowed to keep the device that was given to him by Trion if he kept it in the Ark and away from his home as it would be a great idea not to keep alien technology in his own home.

They did find a way to hide the Junkions with a junkyard that they knew about and held them there as a temporary place to keep them from civilian eyes, they were thinking about sending them to somewhere more secured and off-limits from civilians.

"And that is everything that happened Optimus, sorry it took so long to get back here." Bumblebee had explained to their leader who looked glad to hear from them again.

"There is no need to apologize Bumblebee, I am happy that you both returned and bring news of our old home and the state of it, it will take a lot of work to repair what has happened to it if everything you all said is true." Said Optimus Prime.

"With what we saw, it will take so much time to repair it," Jetfire said as he was the most hurt of them all from the sight of their old home, but it couldn't be helped as he was gone long before the war even started. But that wasn't the only thing that he wanted to say. "There is also more Optimus, while we were with the Decepticons I managed to find out that the Mini-Con named Nickel had rebuilt a tablet they lost during our first fight and I had managed to hack into the device with my mask to gain a copy of the data from the device and found some information that I found shocking."

"What did you learn Jetfire?" Optimus had asked with Jetfire giving him a tablet with the copy of the data which made Optimus shocked with what they had seen. It was data that had many reports and files of a particular Decepticon, and the last file didn't help. "That isn't good..."

"What is it Prime?" Ironhide asked with Optimus turning around, he looked at all the Autobots and their human companions there, his silence was not helping the situation.

"I am afraid to tell you all... Shockwave is on earth." Optimus said with all the Autobots all showing looks of horror. Everyone except the humans with Lincoln Loud asking them: "Who is Shockwave?"

Elsewhere on earth, on an island of Hawaii, the most tropical and beautiful islands that are a part of America, ironically both it and Alaska are the only states that aren't attached to it, it seemed to be peaceful and grand however, below it deep underground in an area full of darkness lies something hidden in said darkness, a single yellow light started to glow giving light with it coming from a purple head with no real face but a large yellow dot in the center like an eye of a cyclops. Could this be Shockwave? It might be him; it would be logical.
