1- New Beginning.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

The universe, an incomparable place. It is coarse and without known limits, and full of mysteries. It is also full of places with unique wonders, but everywhere the same things happen, events and stories, as it happened in our case. For a long time, we were wandering aimlessly looking for a refuge to escape the catastrophe that condemned our home. A place that surprised us: a galaxy full of life, comparable to our race. But it was also going through its darkest hour: the disaster that loomed over our planet threatened to bring the same destiny to hundreds of worlds, or maybe worse. Something we were fighting against, so we decided to intervene. And now, thanks to the effort that a few offered, the history of this galaxy changed to a better course. Now that this conflict is over, we live among its inhabitants, hidden, watching, ensuring their safety, because inside us, we knew what was the real reason why we came: to protect them from the evil we thought we had left behind, but the past is not something that can be left behind so easily. It's only a matter of time before our real enemies return ...

Saleucami

It was a peaceful day in the field, when suddenly a speeder came driving at high speed. It was a curious vehicle, a XP-38 landspeeder, but it was red and it looked like no one was driving it, but it was driving well, and it seemed to be having a conversation with someone else.

"So there I am on a lookout when out of nowhere these high beams light up my rearview. And then it hits me: I'm illegally parked." The speeder seemed to say, with a male voice.

"Another parking ticket?" A young woman voice asked at the other side of the dialogue.

"Better, the boot." The speeder answered.

"Big metal tire clamp, impossible to remove. At least it's better than one of those gravity locks." The female voice added.

"Bingo. So the local authority do their thing and I let them get all the way down the block. That's when I kick off my new shiny shoe, and BANG!"

That made the female voice laugh. "Corellia's most wanted rogue vehicle."

"You know me Arcee: mess with Cliffjumper…"

"…and you get the horns." The female named Arcee finished, making herself and the speeder called Cliffjumper laugh.

Arcee was another vehicle, exactly a BARC speeder bike, one supposed to be used by the clone army. But this one was blue and pink, and it seemed to be driven by a woman. And she seemed to be driving in another planet.

"But I'm not sure how that complies with Autobot rule number one: keep a low profile." Arcee pointed.

"What can I say? Patrolling for energon out here in Dullsville gets lonesome. Almost makes me miss the Clone Wars. Even the Decepticons." Cliffjumper said.

"Like Theed's a party, we're alone wherever planet we travel on this galaxy, Cliff." Arcee answered.

Suddenly Cliffjumper's terminal started to show something in his radar.

"I'm getting a signal." Cliff reported.

"Need backup?"

"Do I ever need backup?" Cliffjumper answered as he changed course right to where the signal was.

It only took him a few seconds to arrive to a crater, full with giant blue crystals.

"I just found a whole lot of energon."

Suddenly, a giant shadow covered the entire area as the ground started to shake. Cliffjumper's parts started to change, until the entire speeder transformed into a giant red robot: Cliffjumper's true form.

"Decepticons."

Right on top of him was a huge dark purple and black sinister starship ended in spikes in the front part. By its appearance it was clear that it was a warship. The Decepticons' main warship: The Nemesis. And as soon as it arrived one of its turrets fired at Cliffjumper, sending him flying inside the crater. Next the bottom hanger opened and a lot of robots descended right where Cliffjumper was in first place. These robots also looked like they could turn into vehicles, but these were purple and black, and all have red visors instead of eyes. There was no doubt that they were Decepticon soldiers.

"Arcee, about that backup, I regret what I said before." Cliff corrected.

Then everyone heard a sinister and maniac laugh coming from the top of the ship. Some kind of starfighter, a silver Rogue-class starfighter, flew from the ship toward the crater and launched two missiles that impacted in front of the Autobot, covering him with a lot of dust. Almost reaching the place where the Decepticon soldiers were and transformed into a sinister robot with wings in his back, missiles in his arms and hands with sharp claws. Unlike Cliffjumper, this had red eyes instead of blue. His name: Starscream.

"Well well well, what do we have here? It isn't the annoying Autobot Cliffjumper." Starscream observed.

"Scream, it's been a while." Cliffjumper said as he coughed a little and cleaned the dust from his body. "So, where's your master?

"Never mind him. I am my own master." Starscream said as he aimed one of his missiles at Cliffjumper. "Any more questions?"

Starscream fired his missile, but Cliffjumper managed to dodge it in time.

"Not any that I can't deduce by myself. I suppose you are here for the energon, but I'll say it anyway. Why are you here?"

Starscream chuckled. "It isn't obvious, Autobot? It is so easy even for a scraplet to understand it. Wherever are Autobots, we Decepticons go."

"Then you will wish that it will not be that way." Cliff answered putting in combat position. "Because you should know that Autobots are never alone. Fair warning, Scream, I'll put a few dings in ya."

"Attack!" Starscream ordered.

The Decepticons soldiers started to fire lasers while Starscream simply watched. Cliffjumper instead, changed to his speeder form and drove toward his adversaries, fast enough to jump so high that allowed him to change form again and fall toward the Decepticons ready to fight. Meanwhile, Arcee contacted with a red and blue military republic troop transport or RTT, which was in another planet.

Lothal

"Arcee at Optimus, the Cons are back. Cliff might be neck-deep in scrap."

"Understood." A profound male voice confirmed from inside the transport, through a com-link. "Ratchet, do you have Cliffjumper's coordinates?"

The transport communicated with some kind of orange and white ambulance speeder, which was driving in a cold planet.

Polus

"I'm locked on his signal, Optimus. But our team is scattered across different planets, each one in one distinct star system." A mature voice reported inside the vehicle.

The military transport started calling his team members.

Naboo

"Arcee,"

Endor

"Bulkhead,"

Geonosis

"Bumblebee, rendezvous back at base by the ground bridge and prepare to assist Cliffjumper."

Meanwhile, Cliffjumper was taking down the Decepticons one by one by simple melee combat.

"How hard is to send a single Autobot to the scrap-heap?! Finish him already!" Starscream ordered mad.

But even when the Decepticons started attacking, everyone at the same time, Cliff managed to keep them in line, which made Starscream to get tired of waiting.

He groaned as he prepared his claws: "It seems I will have to do this all by my own."

Starscream took advantage that Cliffjumper was busy with the soldiers and managed to make him a bad mark in his torso, followed by a kick on his face. The hit was too hard that it made one of Cliffjumper's head horns to break. He was also sent back inside the crater, but when he managed to get up, he changed his hands into triple cannons.

"Let's see if one of you can finish the job now. I want his spark!" Starscream demanded to his troops.

"You want the horns? You got em." Cliff simply said.

And the brave Autobot started firing them back with his own lasers. The Decepticons reacted as firing him as well.

"What are you doing, imbeciles?! Don't shoot! You will hit the energon!" Starscream shouted alarmed.

But it was too late: some of the shots hit the energon crystals, causing a chain reaction that caused everything to blow, and sending Cliffjumper flying toward the woods. Once the explosion was no more, Starscream saw that all the deposit was reduced to ashes.

"Fools! The energon, it's worthless to me now." Starscream said mad. He and the remaining Decepticons examined the area looking for Cliffjumper, but when he found his broken horn he smiled while he picked it up. "But it seems that we managed to extinguish Cliffjumper's spark, so that can be considered an achievement after all."

"We haven't found any surviving piece of energon, commander Starscream." One of the Vehicons reported.

"Any sight of the Autobot's remains?"

"Negative, sir. It seems the explosion has consumed his body."

"No matter. We don't have anything more to do on this planet. Set course to the next closest one."

Starscream threw the horn as he and the surviving Decepticons returned back to the Nemesis. Next it disappeared as it went back to space. Moments later, a strange green portal appeared in middle of the air, and a few vehicles came driving through it. The ambulance speeder turned into a robot who looked like an older person; followed by a green AT-AP walker which turned into a big strong-looking robot; the speeder bike turned into a young beautiful female robot; the yellow XJ-6 airspeeder turned into a young-looking robot, and the last one, the military transport, changed to a tall robot with some kind of helmet on his head and his face covered by a battle mask. All the robots readied their weapons, but as soon as they saw their surroundings, they knew that they were not going to fight.

"An untapped energon deposit." The one called Optimus said.

"What's left of it." The green one, called Bulkhead, corrected.

"(Look!)" The yellow one, Bumblebee, said with beeps.

Everyone saw what Bumblebee spotted: the broken horn of Cliffjumper.

"No. Did you think that…?" Arcee started as she took the horn.

Suddenly they heard sound coming from the woods, so they pulled out their weapons again. Fortunately, …

"Hey fellas, they're gone already? Can I stop pretending being disintegrated now?" Cliff said coming out from the woods.

Everyone sighed relieved, especially Arcee.

"You got us worried, partner. We started to fear the worst." Arcee said.

"Not the first time I'm going blasting off by an energon explosion. And I'm sure it will not be the last. It was about time you show."

Then Arcee covered her mouth, trying to contain her laugh.

"What? What's so funny?"

"No, nothing. It's just you look a little curious with that new look."

"What do you mean?"

"Missing something?" She said showing him the horn.

That left Cliff without words. "No way. They did this? How this happened? I look ridiculous!"

That made Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee laugh.

"Oh, thank you so much for laughing about my misfortune." Cliff said sarcastically. "Hope you can put it back on my head, Ratchet."

"Be glad that it was only that, we could have lost you." Ratchet answered.

"But we are glad that you're fine, Cliffjumper. What happened here?" Optimus asked.

"It was them, they're back."

"You mean the Cons?" Bulkhead asked in disbelief.

"I owe them these new battle scars." Cliff showed.

"The first Decepticon activity in years." Ratchet said.

"That we know of." Optimus stated as he removed his battle mask. "If they're scouting for energon, they may be preparing for his return."

Inside the Nemesis, in outer space, Starscream was in the ship's bridge. Then another Decepticon, one dark blue with a body which resembled a satellite and the face covered by a visor, approached Starscream.

"Soundwave, what is it?" Starscream demanded.

"Like Theed's a party, we're alone wherever planet we travel on this galaxy, Cliff." Soundwave replayed, everything with not his own voice.

"Ah, the one called Arcee. Why slay just one Autobot when we still have the advantage of surprise?" Starscream said sinisterly.

All the Autobots gathered on the top of a hill in middle of the plains of the known planet that suffered the invasion of the Trade Federation's droid army so many years ago. They were looking at the sun.

"We must not allow our fear and insecurity to impair our judgement. As of today, only we six Autobots remain on this galaxy. We owe it to ourselves, to the memory of Cybertron. To any Autobot in any other galaxy seeking safe harbor." Optimus pronounced as Arcee added a rock to one of two piles of rocks that they made as something symbolic to them. "To the Galactic Republic, and we owe it to the memory of all our fallen comrades, to survive. Till all are one."

"Cliffjumper, go to the medical bay and wait me there so I can examine you." Ratchet recommended.

"Just for you to know, doctor, I feel fine. But I will appreciate if you manage to put my horn back to its rightful place."

"Take all the time you need, partner."

"See you later, Cee." Cliff said as he left.

After that, Arcee seemed worried as she looked toward something in the distance, the great city of Theed, Naboo's capital.

"Arcee?" Optimus asked.

"I'm worried, Optimus. Now that we know the Decepticons are back I cannot help but feeling worried about Theed's inhabitants' safety. I wish to make sure that they are fine by taking a fast look to the city, with your permission of course."

"You don't need to ask for it. Just be careful."

Arcee nodded before she changed to her vehicle form and drove toward the city.

"Optimus, helping the Republic will only result in war tragedy." Ratchet expressed.

"Your opinion is noted." Optimus simply said.

Meanwhile, inside Theed's spaceport, a transport already landed, and from inside it came someone very curious. A little boy, between eight and nine years old, with brown hair, blue eyes, light orange skin and a few white facial markings on his face.

"Okay, they said we'll meet in a park near the river with lots of water flowers." He said to himself before he started to walk toward the city.

At the same time, Arcee was about to enter the city, so she activated her holoform to make everyone to think that someone was driving the speeder bike. She was driving through Theed's streets.

"Well, it seems everything is fine around here. Maybe I was just worried too much."

But then she noticed two purple speeders driving behind her, which looked very suspicious.

"Twins. Maybe I spoke too soon."

She speeded up and stopped near a fountain as she saw the speeders driving away.

"Pff, that was close. Five minutes to rest, Sadie." She said as she turned off her engines and holoform.

Just in that moment, the same little boy was passing near the fountain while he seemed to be calling someone with some kind of communication device similar to a phone.

"Hello Aris, I just arrived at Theed. No, I'm not with the others yet, I still need to find the place chosen for meeting. They said it's a park with water plants near the main river, but it seems more complicated to find, maybe not for them, probably it's near their house. Yeah, I could try that, after all it is easy to trace them that way. Not many people have the ability to…"

But before he could end the phrase, he saw Arcee in vehicle mode, and was surprised.

"Woah, it's beautiful. Oh no, I was not referring to you, Aris, of course you are too. Sorry, I'll call later." He said before he hung up and approached Arcee. "How did this arrive here? I though only the military army could have this bike, but of course, those color schemes are not ordinary for military. But I think that's pretty."

"Oh my, did this child thinks that I'm pretty? No one has said that before. Is going to make me blush." Arcee said mentally, because she couldn't speak since the child was close to examine her.

"Hum, it sure looks a little dirty. Nothing that a little good wash can't fix."

Immediately the kid pulled out from his backpack a sponge. He put it inside the fountain and once it was full with water, he used it to clean Arcee's chassis.

"Come on, finish quickly. It tickles." Arcee said mentally, trying to content her laugh.

It took him a while, but he managed to clean Arcee to the point that the sun made her shine.

"That's better." The little boy said as he got in Arcee's driver's seat. "Surely your owner will be most happy when he or she returns."

"Woah, he has left me like new. My chassis has never been like this for a long time. Surely Cliff is going to be jealous. This kid sure knows how to hand a vehicle."

But then they were illuminated by a couple of flashes, coming from the same two speeders that Arcee managed to evade, and they were looking at them.

"Scrap." She cursed.

The two speeders charged at them, so Arcee had no choice but to start driving, with the kid aboard. Arcee drove toward them two, and managed to evaded them with a cool acrobatic, passing through them in the middle while the child screamed a little and covered his eyes.

"Do not let go, and hold on tight!" Arcee advised.

"What?! Who said that?!" He asked confused, hearing a teenage girl's voice.

Of course, the two speeders started to chase them, and tried to squash them in the middle, but Arcee managed to dodge and let them behind.

"Commander Starscream, target sighted. Accompanied by a human child." One of the speeders reported.

"Destroy them both!"

Once the two hid inside an alleyway the kid got off Arcee.

"What are you?" He asked scared.

"It's fine, I'm not a threat. Listen, you have to get out of here as fast as you can. And most at all, act like I don't exist. Tell anyone about me and surely they will not believe you, but that way you will be okay. I'll draw their attention, now go!" Arcee told him.

The kid started to run while Arcee made sure the speeders followed her. But then she saw one of them going after the boy.

"Scrap. No! Leave him alone!"

She turned around and fired her vehicle mode weapons, causing the speeder to get distracted enough so she passed him above him and went after the other, who was after the kid.

"What do you want from me?!" He asked trying to escape.

Arcee passed the other speeder above too and managed to catch up with the child.

"Hop on!" She demanded.

The child didn't think it twice and did as she said. They entered a big road with the two speeders still after them. And to make things worse a pair of turrets appeared in their front part and fired at them.

"Why are those guys shooting at us?! Are they bounty hunters?!"

"Not even close. Actually, they're no guys." Arcee simply said.

During the chase the kid noticed something weird, that came from both the speeder bike and the speeders that were attacking them. Fortunately, Bumblebee entered the road in vehicle form and smashed the two purple speeders, forcing them to slow down.

"Is that a friend of yours?"

"Yes. Family." Arcee nodded.

"What are these vehicles?" The child asked mentally.

Bumblebee tried to block the path from the purple speeders, until they saw an opening and hit him back, making him to stop and resume their chase. Very close from there, inside a beautiful park with lot of water and plants, there were other two kids. The two children looked between ten and eleven years old. The boy was blond with blue eyes, and the girl had dark brown long hair and brown eyes. The two were playing alongside a small droid which looked like a ball, it was white but also orange and silver. They were playing to catch it, and it tried to hid sometimes from the kids like the game hide-and-seek.

"I found you!" The boy exclaimed, scaring the little droid which tried to roll away, but he caught it. "That was a good one, buddy."

"Hehehe, you need to improved your hiding spots." The girl suggested, right before she received a calling.

"Is them?" The boy asked.

"No, it's mom." The girl answered before answering the call. "Hello mom. We're just playing with BB-8 here in the usual place. But our friends haven't arrived yet. Already? Can we just play five minutes more? Thanks."

"Okay BB-8, this time we hide and you look for us." The boy said, which the droid beeped as it nodded its head.

Meanwhile, the other boy saw a dead end just ahead.

"We have nowhere to run now!"

"I don't think so. Hang on!" Arcee said as she speeded up.

Arcee managed to get out of the road and jump a high distance, making the child scream.

"Hey, did you hear that?" The girl asked.

"Yeah. It sounds like Sky." The boy answered.

Then BB-8 beeped alarmed as it pointed with its head to something that was falling toward them, and Arcee landed in front of them. The two were speechless as the first boy was catching his breath.

"Woah." They said.

"You guys have no idea." The boy said as he got off Arcee.

"Sky, you're finally here. But we weren't expecting that you came riding a speeder bike." The girl said impressed.

"And it isn't supposed that only the military has this model?" The other boy asked.

"Guys, I think this is not a normal vehicle. Also, it's not the time for questions. We were being chased." Sky explained.

"We?" The other boy asked.

"Chased? By who?" The girl followed.

Right in that moment the two purple speeders managed to catch up with them. They descended right to where they were and transformed almost reaching the ground, revealing to be Decepticons, with their weapons ready. The children and the little droid were speechless, but they have no time for start questioning when suddenly Arcee changed back to robot form and put herself between her chasers and the children.

"Leave them alone, it's me who you want. This ends here, Cons!" She said before charging at them.

The Decepticons tried to shot at Arcee, but the Autobot was too fast and managed to evade the shots and get close enough to start kicking them. All of this happened while the children observed them from a safe distance.

"What are they?" Sky asked.

"They look like some kind of vehicles that turn into droids." The other boy deduced.

"Or maybe vice versa." The girl added. "Did you heard about droids that can do this?"

BB-8 simply denied with its head. Back to the fight, Arcee was constantly hitting one of the Cons, especially on its head.

"This is for Cliff!" She exclaimed while she took the Decepticon down with her last punch.

But before she could deal with the other one she heard the sound of something more approaching. Then she saw a purple AAT coming at her and firing its cannon. She had no problem to evade the shots with her acrobatics, but when it was close enough the tank turned into a big Decepticon with tank parts and the same cannon in its back, still firing. Arcee was too busy dodging the shots that when she saw the Decepticon he took the chance and pushed her too hard, sending her to the ground. The kids and BB-8 looked at Arcee worried, but then they heard something coming from above and saw Bumblebee changing to robot form before landing next to the new Decepticon and started punching him. He managed to send the Con to the ground, and then he heard something breaking and noticed that he crushed some flowers by accident right below his foot.

"(I'm sorry. It was not my intention.)" Bumblebee apologized.

"Oh, don't worry." The girl said.

"Yeah, not big deal." The boy added.

But that allowed the other Decepticon soldier to shot at him, sending him too to the ground. He tried to get up, but the Decepticon tank crushed him against the ground and the other Decepticon solider aimed his weapon at him.

"Hey! Leave him alone, clankers!" The girl shouted.

That made the Decepticons looked at her.

"Please?" She said a little nervous.

"What did you call us?" The Decepticon tank demanded, and a little annoyed.

"Bad call, sister. Let's run!" The boy exclaimed grabbing his sister by the hand.

"Follow us, BB-8!" Sky shouted, earning some beeps from the droid.

"I will terminate the Autobot, you catch those fleshlings. And their droid." The Decepticon tank ordered to the other.

The kids and the droid started to run from the Decepticon who was after them. They saw a water tunnel nearby, perfect for their size, but they still had to carry BB-8 so it could enter. Once inside, the group tried to get as far as they can while the Decepticon tried to grab them with his hand.

"Don't look behind, keep moving!" The boy instructed.

But before he could reach them something grabbed him and dragged him out: it was Bumblebee, who took a look to see if the children were fine.

"(You kids have nothing to worry about now.)" Bumblebee saluted them.

"Thank you." The boy thanked.

"(You're welcome.)" Bee said before returning to the fight.

"I don't know about you, but I want to get out of here as fast as we can." Sky pointed.

"Right. Even if we don't know what just happened." The girl said.

"Well, in my opinion I don't want to figure it out. But it is better to not talk with our parents about this. That includes you too, BB-8." The boy said.

The little droid beeped as an agreement as the group started to continue their way inside the tunnel looking for the exit. Back with the Autobots, Bumblebee was trying to keep busy the Decepticon soldier and the tank, but then the other soldier got back to his feet and hit him from behind. Next, he kicked the Autobot on his face, sending him back with Arcee, who had recovered and helped him to get up. The Decepticons prepared to finish their opponents, but then a huge shot almost hit them. It was made by Bulkhead, still in his walker form. He launched another shot with his cannon which hit the Decepticon tank's cannon, disabling it. The Autobot continued advancing towards them at high speed and changing to robot form once he met with Bee and Arcee.

"Who's ready to rumble?" Bulkhead asked crushing his fists.

The Decepticons decided that three Autobots was something they couldn't deal with, so they changed to their vehicle form and retreated.

"What took you?" Arcee asked.

"You have no idea how hard is for a walker to reach here." Bulkhead answered.

Moments later, the Autobots returned back to their base, just where Ratchet was finishing fixing Cliffjumper's horn.

"Well, that should do it. You're ready for duty." Ratchet announced.

"Ah, much better. Thanks Ratchet, of all Autobot medics you are one of the best. You make wonders."

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Ratchet said returning back to his duty.

"So, you engaged the Cons again without me, right?" Cliffjumper asked.

"Yes. But I managed to keep them in line, and they would have been scrap metal, if I hadn't been distracted by the human." Arcee reported.

"Human?" Optimus asked.

"(Actually, they were three children in total. Two boys and a girl.)" Bee corrected.

"Two boys and a girl?" Optimus repeated.

"(And also a little astromech droid.)" Bumblebee added.

"It was my fault that the first one was dragged into the fight, but I have to say he was cute, handsome and nice. He made my chassis shine, until the Cons ruined it. I guess the other two caught us in action, I'm not so sure. I was a little busy at the time." Arcee explained.

"If the Decepticons are targeting us, anyone perceived as our ally will be at grave risk." Optimus declared.

"So, what do we do?" Cliff asked.

The next day, the three children, also with BB-8, met in middle of a plaza of the city. But there was someone else that met with them: a young human girl, between twelve and thirteen years old, with red long hair and blue eyes.

"Aris!" The three kids called at the same time.

"Hi guys. Sorry for not be able to meet with you yesterday, I had a couple of things to take care of at home." Aris answered.

"Don't worry. It's okay, we didn't do anything special." Sky reassured.

"And what about what we witnessed?" The other girl reminded.

"Did I miss something?" Aris asked interested.

"Well, probably no one will believe us, so we decided to not tell it to anyone, not even our parents. But because you're our friend we can tell you, even if that sounds like a craziness to you." The other boy said.

"You can try it." Aris answered.

"Well, we were getting ready to play in the usual place when suddenly we spotted some incredible rumble between some kind of special vehicles." The boy started.

"What kind of vehicles?" Aris asked.

"Guys. There is...one of them. Right there." Sky called speaking low.

Sky pointed at their right, just where Bumblebee was parked. Despite some of them were scared, the children decided to approach the vehicle, with caution.

"(Do not be scared, little ones. I'm not going to hurt you. But I would like to know if you two and your little droid friend could come with me. There is something you must know.)" Bee told them.

"That vehicle just talked?" Aris asked in confusion.

"It sounds like the astromech droids' language. Like BB-8 and R2-D2." The boy deduced.

"And he wants us to get in?" Sky asked a little worried.

"No. Only me, BB-8 and my brother. It seems yours is right there." The girl pointed at the other side of the plaza, right at Arcee.

"She's back." Sky said surprised.

"She?" Aris asked.

"Hello, can you please tell us more about you?" The boy asked as he, her sister and the droid got inside.

"I don't know guys, I got a bad feeling about this. Eh? Guys, wait!" Aris shouted, but it was too late, Bumblebee already left with them aboard.

"What should we do?" Sky asked.

"For now, just pretending like they're not here. Probably if we don't pay them attention she will ending passing through." She suggested.

And the two children made their way out of the plaza. While Arcee didn't know is that she managed to catch someone else's attention. In the same plaza, not far from there, there was another young boy, between fourteen and fifteen years old, with brown hair and hazel eyes color. He was drawing Arcee's vehicle form in a painting notebook.

"Coolest…speeder bike…ever." He said. Then his communication device started to sound, so he saw who was calling him. "My host parents? So soon? Ignore."

He simply hung up and returned to drawing Arcee, but there was a problem: the speeder bike was no more. He saw it driving out of the plaza, so he followed it. It was not hard for Arcee to find the two kids, who tried to evade her going through a close street, and stopped right in front of them slowly. Of course, Sky started to get nervous as his friend, Aris, put herself in front of him.

"Whoever or whatever are you, don't dare to menace us. So better get lost." Aris demanded.

"Relax. I just wanna talk with your little friend. I didn't have the chance to thank you for the wash you give me yesterday. And I didn't want to drag you into that scary situation, really." Arcee said.

"Scary? What scary situation?" Aris asked.

"We saw a couple of giant droids battling in front of us." Sky revealed.

"More reason to not go near to dangerous machines." Aris said.

"Kid, there is a lot you don't understand." Arcee said as she turned off her driver's holoform.

"Let me guess, you're some kind of special project of new big droids programmed for building, and some of you went rogue. So the last thing we need now is a bunch of giant droids following us all around which can possibly kill us." Aris explained.

"Aris, please. Don't be so hard with her. She kept me save from the ones that attacked us." Sky said.

In that moment, Arcee transformed in front of them, leaving Aris without words.

"Thanks. Sky, isn't it? Your personal safety is what I'm worried about, and that's exactly why Optimus Prime is requesting your presence. And because you know about us too, that includes yours, Aris." Arcee started to explain.

"Optimus who?" Sky asked.

"You may be in danger, because you're one of the few, one of the only who have ever seen us." Arcee continued.

"Oh. Well, you're welcome for the bath." Sky said.

"I was wrong about you, sorry. And also, I sensed that you were telling us the truth. But even if we appreciate that you concern for our safety, what exactly are you talking about?" Aris asked.

"Dudes, what are you waiting for? Go with her." The same boy from before told them from a corner.

"Scrap. I guess you three are going to be a little tight." Arcee said.

Moments later, both Autobots were driving outside Theed, right into the wild plains of Naboo, with the children. Arcee managed to take both Sky and Aris and the third boy, who was enjoying the ride, at the same time.

"And exactly why are we taking him with us?" Aris demanded.

"Rules." Arcee simply answered.

They passed next to a couple of herds of wild animals, something the children enjoyed.

"By the way, we haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is Arcee and the yellow one is Bumblebee."

"That's a good name. Nice to meet you." Sky said. "Perhaps you already heard it, but mine is…"

"I know, yours is also a cute one. Get ready, we're arriving."

The two Autobots were driving towards a waterfall located in a mountain that they had in front. The kids started to worry as they approached to the waterfall, but when they were really close the waterfall divided, revealing a secret entrance that opened. Next, they entered some kind of secret tunnel that lead to a big room with lots of advanced technology, some kind of secret base. Inside they saw the other Autobots for the first time which impressed them a lot.

"I thought there were three." Ratchet reminded.

"Haven't you heard? Humans multiply." Arcee joked.

"That's supposed to be funny? By the way, little ones, welcome to Autobot Outpost Omega One. My name's Cliffjumper, but everyone calls me Cliff. This cranky one is Ratchet, our medic."

"Well, since we're starting with introductions. My name is Aris Kenobi Kryze."

"I'm Luke Skywalker. And this is my twin sister." The boy introduced.

"Hi, I'm Leia. And this little fella is our friend BB-8."

BB-8 beeped with a happy tone.

"Hello. I'm Skylo Bonteri Tano, but you can call me Sky. Nice to meet you."

"Name's Han Solo." The elder boy introduced walking at Bulkhead. "Who are you?"

"Bulkhead." The Autobot answered a little surprised.

"Are you a tank? I bet you're a walker, an assault walker! What kind of music do you like? How much do you weight? Every use a wrecking ball for a punching bag?" Han started to ask, without leaving enough time for Bulkhead to answer.

"But, if you guys are droids, who made you?" Aris asked.

"Ugh! Please." Ratchet groaned.

"Come on Ratchet, they're only curious. That's all." Cliff reassured.

Then everyone heard loud steps coming from behind the children. They turned to see Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots. BB-8 looked very impressed by the robot's size.

"We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron. Also known as Autobots." Optimus explained.

"Incredible. Living technological lifeforms." Aris said impressed.

"Why are you here?" Luke asked.

"To protect your galaxy from the Decepticons." Optimus answered.

"The evil droids who tried to finish with both of us last afternoon, remember?" Arcee reminded.

"Okay. Why are they here?"

"A fair question, Leia." Optimus started, crouching down to the children's height. "In part, they are here because our planet is uninhabitable, ravaged by eons of civil war."

"Why were you fighting a war?" Sky asked.

"The main cause was over political idealism: we Autobots fight for freedom and equality. The Decepticons, on the other hand, fight for conquest and supremacy over all other lifeforms. Secondly was over control of our world supply of energon, the fuel and lifeblood of all cybertronians; Autobots and Decepticons alike. The combat was fierce, and endured for eons. In the beginning, I fought alongside one whom I considered a brother. But in war ideals can be corrupted, and it was thus, that Megatron lost his way. In the end, he became the leader of the Decepticons."

"Is very similar to The Clone Wars." Aris noticed.

"So what is Megatron or any of this have to do with us?" Luke asked.

"Megatron has not been seen or heard from in some time. But if his return is imminent, as I fear, it could be catastrophic." Optimus said.

Meanwhile, in the Nemesis bridge, Soundwave approached Starscream with something to show.

"Those transmissions are emanating from deep space, outside the galaxy. I would hate to waste the energon, unless you are absolutely certain." Starscream said, earning a nod from Soundwave. So he turned to a Vehicon. "Then lock on transmission coordinates, and activate the space bridge."

Near to the galaxy's limits, there was a giant cybertronian structure with a hole in the center being activated from the Nemesis. A green portal, similar to a ground bridge but bigger, appeared in the hole of the middle. Then something came from the portal, some kind of grey cybertronian ship, that turned into a sinister looking robot. It looked like a gladiator, and his face looked like a combat helmet with red eyes. It could only be the leader of the Decepticons: Megatron.

"DECEPTICONS, I HAVE RETURNED!"
