Later that same night, Mirage had taken over.

Noah says "Yo, yo, yo, slow down! Slow down!"

Danny yells "Mirage, slow down!"

They came in hot into a warehouse and the car slid as they all were thrown from the car and rolled on the ground before stopping and hearing mechanical whirring from the car behind them.

Then Mirage yells "Whoo-hoo-hoo! That felt good! Get some oil pumping, you know? Damn! I've been cooped up forever, dudes. I can't tell ya'll how old it gets!" as he gets up and walks into the shadows.

Mirage then pretends the be Optimus "Mirage, stay hidden. Mirage, don't draw any attention to yourself. Mirage, Big is just a movie. You'll never be a real boy."

Mirage walked from behind a beam and says "But that was fun, guys. You're fun, dudes."

Mirage then remembered that Noah was new to this and says "Oh, right. This is probably a lot for you, huh?" as he kneels.

Noah grabs a pipe and holds it back like a bat and says "Back up!"

Mirage says "Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's with the aggression? I thought after the car chase, we all were boys. What are you gonna hit me?"

Noah says "Maybe."

Mirage says "It's like that?" and he transforms his arm into a cannon with a mechanical whirl.

Danny then quickly draws an arrow and points it at Mirage and yells "Mirage! Stand down! Now!"

Mirage says "Hmm. Tough guys. I like that. I like it a lot."

Noah asks "What are you? Some sort of possessed car or something?:

Mirage scoffs and says "Nah. That's not real, man. I'm an alien."

Noah asks "Like... Like E.T.?"

Mirage says "E.T.? The little ugly guy in the basket? Look at this face! The name's Mirage." 

And he holds out his fist for a fist bump.

Noah holds the pipe down and Danny puts the arrow back in his quiver.

Mirage says "Come on. Give me a little, give me a little. Give me a little. Give a little tap. Give me a little tap."

Noah fist bumps him then Danny and Carrie.

Mirage says "There you go. Now we're friends!"

Then there were tires screeching heard.

Danny asks "Is that Decepticons?"

Mirage says "No. Great. The gang's here."

Noah asks "Ther are more like you?"

Mirage says "Like me? No. But be cool so they don't crush you."

Noah says "What?"

Mirage says "Yeah, I'd put that pipe down if I were you."

Danny smiled when he saw Bumblebee and Arcee driving in.

Then they all turned around and saw Optimus drive in.

Then he transformed and then when he saw humans his mask covered his face.

Noah threw the pipe away when he saw them.

Then Arcee and Bumblebee started to transform with a mechanical whirring.

Bumblebee says "Well, well, who have we got here?"

Arcee flipped as she transformed and she crosses her arms and says "Mirage, what have you done?"

Optimus gets close to the group and says "You brought humans here?"

Mirage says "Optimus! Hey! Looking good, man! Wait a second. Are those new rims?"

Optimus says "You were told to stay hidden."

Mirage says "Right, right. Crazy coincidence. When you called, all Optimus-like..." Then he imitates Optimus' voice and says "'Autobots, roll out!'..." Then he says in his normal voice "This guy was already in the car. Then these two teleported in from the future. These two say they know us."

Danny says "Prime. It's good to see you. It's like you haven't rusted in a long time."

Mirage and Danny started to laugh together.

Prime gave a look to Mirage and Carrie gave a look to Danny.

Danny clears his throat and says "Sorry. You sent us back in time cause you told us that the timeline was changing somehow."

Danny pulled out the drive and says "You told me to show you this as you will know what it is."

Optimus looks at it and says "It's my key card. To restore the power of the matrix of leadership if needed."

Danny smiles and says "I'm Daniel Robert Henry Queen. Or Danny Queen. You helped my father with a crisis in the future and saved the Earth. But he died in the process and you felt bad you couldn't save him. Cause for three years I grew up without a father. Then he came back to life due to him taking on the power of the Spectre."

Optimus says "So you're from the future with her?"

Carrie waves and says "Hi, I'm Carrie Kelley. I'm his girlfriend." pointing to Danny.

Optimus says "There is no way I trust humans in the future."

Danny says "Prime. You trust my father and the rest of the Justice League. The heroes in the future. You had Mirage in the future be my guardian to protect me. And I didn't meet you until early today before you sent me back in time. And I never got to say thank you for caring for me when you didn't need to."

Optimus says "Well, if you have my key card, then I must trust you and her. But I don't trust him." pointing at Noah.

Danny says "He's fine. He's my great-uncle."

Noah says "Wait, what?"

Danny says "Remember your adopted sister, Dinah? Her name in the future is Dinah Lance. She marries my grandfather and they have two daughters and her youngest daughter had me."

Noah was shocked and said, "But you asked who I was. Surely you would have seen a photo of me in the future."

Danny shakes his head and says "Nope. Grandma didn't like talking about you. I guess it was a touchy subject since you were dead... Or something. She never told anyone what? Not even Kris."

Noah says "Oh. Well, you met me."

Optimus' mask retracts and asks "Who are you human?" as he looks at Noah.

Noah says "Noah Diaz."

Arcee scanned him and says "Private Noah Diaz, US Army. Multiple commendations. A wizard with electronics. Huh. He's a soldier."

Prime says "He does not look like a soldier."

Noah says "I mean, you're looking pretty rough yourself."

Danny and Mirage chuckle at that then they clear their throats.

Mirage says "Sorry, sir."

Optimus looks at Arcee and she nods and says "Okay, the energy surge we felt was in the 4,000 yottahertz range, which is undetectable to humans. I've reconstructed the source from the energy echoes."

Optimus says "I cannot believe it. It exists and it is here."

Bumblebee says "What the hell am I looking at?"

Danny says "Correct me if I'm wrong, but... Is that the Transwarp key?"

Optimus says "It is. It was thought to be lost thousands of years ago."

Danny says "Cause it was once used to open space-time portals to Energon-rich planets throughout the universe. Right?"

Optimus nods

Mirage says "So you mean Energon-rich planets like..."

Acree says "Cybertron."

Optimus says "After seven long years stranded on Earth, we're finally found a way home."

Danny turned to his great-uncle and Noah whispered to himself "Wait till I catch you, Reek."

Mirage says "Okay, so where is this t-tran, t-trun..."

Acree says "Transwarp Key?"

Mirage says "Thank you."

Acree says "It's in the new museum on Ellis Island."

Bumblebee says "Let's blow it up and get the hell out of dodge!"

Danny says "Bee, we can't just go in blasting and steal it. We can't let the world know you guys exist, Bee."

Bumblebee gets on his knee and says "So what do you have planned to get what we need?"

Danny sighs and says "The three of us could go in and grab it."

Optimus says "That's out of the question. Future me, may trust you, but I don't."

Danny says "Yeah? I could end you right here and now, if I so wanted to Cybertonian."

Optimus transforms his hand into a cannon and Danny quickly draws an explosive arrow.

Danny smiles and says "Go ahead. Let's fire our weapons. Looks like we got a Mexican standoff here, guys."

Carrie says "Stop! Both of you!"

Danny says "I'm protecting myself. Looks like this Prime is nothing like the Prime we know. This Prime doesn't care about humans. So why shouldn't I let go of this arrow and exploded his head?"

Carrie says "If you do, the Prime we know won't exist. Mirage won't be your guardian. Our future might change if you do. Cause Mirage helped us against the Court, remember?"

Danny never wanted to think about the Court again. The Court of Owls.

Danny says "I'll put it down if he does."

Carrie looks at Optimus and says "Please. Put it down."

Optimus sighs and his hand transforms back into his hand.

Danny lowered the bow and put the arrow back in his quiver.

Danny says "Let's get one thing straight here, Prime. I'm doing what you told me to do. Which is to protect the timeline. Something goes wrong during this. So I have to make sure nothing happens. You can hate me for all I care. But I do what I must. You should know that... Leader. The great Optimus Prime, Leader of the Autobots. Descendant of Primus himself. But then again... you weren't always a Prime. Orion Pax."

Mirage says "Orion Pax?"

Optimus says "That was my name before I was bestowed the power of the Matrix of Leadership."

Danny says "I know everything about you, Prime. Maybe... you should watch your tongue before your speak."

Danny walks away and says "Mirage! You gonna take me to Ellis Island?"

Mirage says "You got it, D." and he walked over and transformed.

Danny opened the door and looks at Noah and says "You coming?"

Noah says "Do I need to?"

Danny says "I'd rather keep an eye on you. Carrie. You stay with Arcee and the rest of the Autobots. I got a key to grab." 

He gets in and closes the door.

Noah says "I guess I better go." he walks over to the passenger door and gets in and Danny drifts out of the warehouse.
