Nahko's POV

Ratchet and Jazz have been very secretive about something. Having private conversations and Ratchet working on some sort of device. Also Miko and my birthday is coming up. Though I'm not sure if I want to celebrate mine this year. As I am no longer human. But I still want to celebrate it for Miko. I got her a ticket to a monster truck rally. Well Jack got the ticket, but I gave him the last of my money which I had saved. I hope she likes it.

Anyway, we're all. Well all us non-humans are chilling at base together when Fowler calls sounding pissed about something. "Prime! What in blazes are your people doing out here?! We had an agreement! No collateral damage!" he snaps. I frown in confusion looking around counting, we're all here.

"I am sorry, agent Fowler, but all Autobots are present and accounted for" Optimus tells him.

"Then explain why I'm receiving reports of two jumbo-size bots mixing it up" Fowler tells him.

"Decepticons" Ratchet suggests.

"There has been plenty of infighting lately. Megatron can't seem to keep his ranks in line" Arcee states.

"It'd be nice if they fought each other for a while, give us a break" I state.

"Well, I'm just arriving on the scene. Have a look" Fowler tells us and a video appears on screen. It shows a con behind a crashed ship firing at something.

"I don't know. Paint job beside it can't be Skyquake. You and Optimus pounded him into the ground" Bulkhead states.

"True and he is now stuck in the shadow zone as a zombie con" I state.

"The question still stands who's the dance partner?" Arcee corrects me. The video changes to show another cybertronian. A familiar one.

"By the Allspark, it is one of ours" Ratchet states.

"Wheeljack. Jackie's back!" Bulkhead cheers.

"I don't care if Abraham Lincoln is back. We have to contain this situation before we all wind up on the eleven o'clock news!" Fowler snaps ending the call.

"I guess you guys should go get Wheeljack" I tell Optimus and he nods his helm.

"Jazz, Nahko remain here" he tells us. We nod and he goes through the ground bridge with the other three. Ratchet closes the bridge behind them.

"I haven't seen Wheeljack in ages, you know I contemplated being a wrecker before I became a warrior" Jazz tells me.

"Why didn't you become a wrecker?" I ask him curious.

"I'll tell you some day" he states. The others soon return with an injured Wheeljack. "Getting rusty are we?" Jazz asks him.

"See you decided to join the party" Wheeljack states as he sits on a medical berth.

"I am the party" Jazz tells him and Wheeljack chuckles. Then spots me and frowns in confusion.

"Good to see you again Wheeljack" I state.

"Have we meet?" he asks.

"It's Nahko" I tell him.

"But you were human" he states.

"I'm a techno-organic and this is my true form. I was still changing when we meet and yes Miko is my blood related sister" I tell him.

"She's a Prime" Jazz adds and Wheeljack looks shocked.

"Sort of, I have all the wisdom. But I am still very young and still have a lot to learn before I can lead as a Prime" I explain. "My name is Nahko Prime though, but just call me Nahko" I tell him.

"Looks like I missed a lot" he states and winces as Ratchet starts to tend to his injuries. "Ow! Take it easy, Doc. I need that arm" he tells Ratchet.

"Hold still and maybe you'll keep it" Ratchet tells him.

"Look commander, I am sorry for the fireworks. It won't happen again. But I tracked Dreadwing across over a hundred light years of space" Wheeljack states.

"I thought you were roving the galaxy you know, looking for Autobot refugees" Bulkhead says confused.

"I was until I found one, a Wrecker" Wheeljack answers.

"Who?" Bulkhead asks.

"Seaspray" Wheeljack answers.

"How is old barnacle butt?" Bulkhead asks happily.

"Not so good, Bulk. Blown to bits, actually" Wheeljack answers. "My flier, the Jackhammer, picked up Seaspray's signal a couple of light-years from Madeira. We made contact and arranged a rendezvous in the Andromeda system. But Dreadwing must have intercepted the transmission, 'cause he got to Seaspray first. Proximity bomb was supposed to take us both out. Guess I should be glad that Jackhammer can take a punch. I picked up Dreadwing's ion trail and tracked it through a dozen solar systems before catching up with him. And he led me right back to this marble. Some coincidence, huh?" he asks us.

"I know of this Dreadwing. He was captain of a seeker armada, and, as such, like his twin, Skyquake, fiercely loyal to the decepticon cause. Dreadwing has no doubt traveled to Earth to pay allegiance to his one true master" Optimus states.

"Great, another con to deal with" I grumble.

"Hope he's enjoying the visit. It's gonna be his last" Wheeljack states.

"Wheeljack, this planet is heavily inhabited. Any strike we make against the Decepticons must be carefully measured as a team, lest we risk endangering the human population" Optimus tells him.

"Are you suggesting we sit back and do nothing?" Wheeljack demands.

"You! Loose cannon! Your cowboy antics almost blew our cover" Fowler snaps as he enters the base.

"Cover?" Wheeljack asks confused.

"We're robots in disguise, Jackie" Bulkhead tells him. "You needed an earth-based vehicle mode outside of here" he states.

"I hardly get let out as I don't have a T-cog, so no disguise" I add sadly.

"That spaceship you shot down not earth-based! I had to jump through some big hoops to get it hauled out of plain sight. You need to keep a tighter leash on your people, Prime" Fowler states.

"A tighter leash? Let me clarify, tiny. I'm not one of Optimus Prime's people" Wheeljack snaps before storming off. Bulkhead and I follow him with Optimus' permission.

(Decepticon war ship) Third Persons POV

When Dreadwing was safe, he landed on a mountain and sent out a signal to the Nemesis. He had t wait a while, but it soon appeared. He boards it and went to the bridge. He bows before Megatron and Soundwave. "Lord Megatron, I live to serve" he declares.

"Rise, Dreadwing" Megatron says and Dreadwing does so. "Loyalty such as yours is a rare commodity" he tells him.

"Mine runs deep and true, yet it is not loyalty alone that brought me here" Dreadwing admits. Megatron looks at him expectantly. "I seek confirmation of the demise of one whom I considered a brother" he declares.

"How did you learn of his passing?" Megatron asks him.

"My twin and I shared a split Spark. We're metal, but two halves of the same life force. Even across the galaxy, I sensed when he emerged from stasis on his planet and when his Spark was no more" Dreadwing explains.

"It is true. Skyquake perished at the hands of the Autobots, though not, in fact, under my watch" Megatron tells him. As Soundwave showed him the footage of Skyquake's death during Starscream's reign.

"Then by the pit, every last Autobot on this accursed world will pay" Dreadwing declares.

"The Autobots will be punished for their crime, and many others, how and when I see fit" Megatron tells him. "Besides there is one I'd rather have taken alive for examination" he adds and a photo of Nahko Prime appears no Soundwave's vaser.

"But master..." Dreadwing tries to protest.

"Conflicting agendas will only result in chaos and failure. You would be wise to remember that, Dreadwing. You are under my command now, and as such, you must follow my lead" Megatron orders him. "Also if you see this femme, ensure she is brought to me alive" he adds. Dreadwing nods his helm and leaves the bridge.

(Jack-hammer) Nahko's POV

"Jackie, look. Even if it weren't for the humans, we couldn't take on the Cons right now. We're outnumbered" Bulkhead tells him as we enter the cave where Wheeljack is with his ship.

"Roadbuster, Pyro, Impactor, Rotorstorm, Seaspray all dust" Wheeljack states.

"I'm sorry for your guys loses" I tell him.

"That's what I'm talking about. Wreckers are Autobots. There just aren't that many of us left. But if we get behind Optimus, we have a chance to end this once and for all" Bulkhead tells him.

"Guys like Optimus they talk a good game, but when you're in the scrap, they don't want to get their hands dirty" Wheeljack accuses. As he enters his ship.

"That's not true" I snap glaring at Wheeljack. As Bulkhead and I follow him. Optimus is no coward and he'd never leave a man behind. Hell he even helped save Breakdown, a decepticon. Because he knew Megatron wouldn't do it.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You don't know Optimus like we do. Being a Wrecker meant everything to me, but I left that behind" Bulkhead tells Wheeljack.

"Because Prime was the real thing blah, blah, blah" Wheeljack says.

"He is and he is the best leader the autobots have" I state. "He is also an amazing mentor to me" I add. Before our conversation can continue someone hails Wheeljack.

"Wheeljack, I know you're out there, listening. I have a proposition for you" a male voice states.

"Is that?" Bulkhead and I ask.

"Dreadwing" Wheeljack tells us.

"Meet me at these coordinates if you have the Spark" Dreadwing states. A set of coordinates appeared on the screen. Wheeljack gets into the drivers seat.

"I'll see you there, Con, just to watch you fry" he tells Dreadwing. Before ending the call.

"Jackie, it's a trap" Bulkhead tells him.

"I know, but when has that ever stopped me? You both coming with?" he asks.

"Shouldn't we call for backup first?" I ask him.

"Wreckers don't call for backup" he tells me.

"They call for clean up" he and Bulkhead say together.

"Fine, but I am still learning how to fight" I tell him as Bulkhead and I take a seat each. Wheeljack takes off. "You know I thought you're ship would be bigger" I add and he chuckles.

"The Jack-hammer suits me fine the size it is" he states. "So want to tell me that story?" he asks. I do so as we had time to kill before we arrived at the coordinates. When we arrive I stick with Bulkhead as Wheeljack went to meet Dreadwing. Who leads him into a canyon. "If you're thinking about flying out of here" he tells Dreadwing.

"Think again" Bulkhead finishes while pointing his blasters as Dreadwing.

"You are out numbered" I add as I lean against a tree arms crossed.

'Do not lower your guard' Prime warns me.

'What's he gonna do? Blow us up?' I ask him in my head. Suddenly Wheeljack shouts mine and Bulkhead's names. And there is an explosion under us. Bulkhead and I yell as we fall. A rock hits my helm hard and I black out.

I wake up in a cargo container in some sort of hand cuffs. 'Told you not to lower your guard' Prima states.

'Oh be quiet' I grumble mentally as I examine the cuffs.

"You won't be able to break out of them" someone states and I look up to see Dreadwing. I glare at him and get to my feet. "Now why does Lord Megatron want you?" he asks.

"Don't know, why don't you ask him?" I retort. "Where's Bulkhead and Wheeljack?" I demand.

"Bulkhead is around and I am sure Wheeljack is on his way to try rescue you both" he states. Suddenly Megatron calls Dreadwing demanding his location. "Merely pursuing my destiny, Lord Megatron" he tells him.

"Did I not order you to stand down?" Megatron demands.

"Forgive me, one true master, but I have apprehended the femme you want. Also it is my hope that vanquishing Optimus Prime will earn your respect" Dreadwing tells him.

"Optimus is not so easily disposed of, as I keep trying to explain to all of those who foolishly attempt it" Megatron tells him. "Send me the coordinates of the femme" he orders.

"If I do, may I continue my mission master?" Dreadwing asks.

"Very well, I will allow it, Dreadwing. In memory of your departed twin, but only this once" Megatron tells him. Dreadwing presses a button and leaves me in the container. Suddenly a ground bridge appears and I back away from it as Soundwave appears.

"Stay back!" I yell at him. While trying to look for a way out. But I am grabbed by his tentacles. "No, let me go!" I scream as he dragged me trough the bridge. Bringing me before Megatron. "What the hell do you want from me?" I demand.

"Answers" he states.

"I'm not telling you anything" I snap.

"Take her to a holding cell, I shall deal with her later" he orders Soundwave. Who nods his helm and escorts me to the cells. He locks me in one and leaves. I sit in a corner and silently cry, scared about what will happen to me. Wishing I had stayed at base instead of going with the other two. Praying that they are ok, and that I'd be rescued sooner rather then later.
