"Okay! Okay! I give! I give! Stop!"

"Viper." Jade demanded.

"Any and all information." The ruthless hacker demanded.

"My designation is Soundsmash. My creator is the AllSpark. I was made a Decepticon, but Lord Megatron was killed in battle. I was discarded in the city, and neither I nor Twitch, who is the last of my brethren around, have heard from any Decepticon."

"Would you consider joint us Trixbots?" Viper lifted an optic ridge.

"I..." Soundsmash's optics flickered as he thought. "I guess."

"It's not like you get any perks." Jade mumbled. "Except, you know, not getting killed by Decepticons for disobeying orders."

Nadir snorted from her shoulder while Viper continued with Soundsmash, having him make at least ten different promises in Cybertronian.

Jade move out of her bedroom into the living room, where she knelt next to Dragonfly, who was wedging an important piece of metal into the speakers.

The purple femme glanced up, smiling as the metal went in.

"The process of temporary body upgrade is nearly complete." The glass on her head tinkled as she swung around. "We'll need a source of energy soon."

"There's probably a generator I can get."

"Five." Dragonfly pushed a chip into the speakers and sorted through the pile in the wagon behind her.

"You've gotta be kidding me." The human sighed, trudging to the fridge for bread only to discover she had none.

Jade's voice echoed through the apartment as she announced she was going to the store and promptly walked out with Nasir still on her shoulder.

Jade was stepping over a large wire when she paused.

"Nadir, this is the main power line, right?" She frowned prodding at it with her foot.

"Yes. It powers this part of the city. Why?" The cell asked, purple eyes fixed on her own.

"Nothing." She hummed, deep in thought as she continued into the store, picked up bread and hurried back up to her fifth story apartment.

Dragonfly glanced up as she entered.

"You're curious." The purple femme stated, glancing at Shockstorm, who was seated on the couch.

"Dragonfly, would the power line work for resurrecting Jazz?"

"Perhaps." She nodded, looking at the speakers. "I'll have a look later."

The raven nodded, poking her head in to check on Viper, who was in the middle of reasoning with Twitch.

Soundsmash tugged on her shirt, green head reaching her waist.

"Yes?" She turned, crouching to look him in the eye.

"Do you think..." He suddenly seemed nervous. "Do you think we should send out a call?"

"Huh?"

"Incase other bots were made by the AllSpark." His pale purple eyes looked hopeful.

"I guess. Do you have a transmitty thingy we can use?"

"I'll go change my alt mode!" He assured, darting out the door.

Jade shook her head.

Dragonfly snapped an alligator clip onto part of the spark chamber in Jazz's new body then glanced down the line.

Jade carefully stepped over the line of wires and then clipped a pair together.

Dragonfly snapped one onto the other side and then stepped back, scanners on high to detect anything.

"Well?" The human asked, seated against the wall.

"My scan shows that small amounts of radiation are beginning to accumulate inside the chamber.

"That's good, right?"

Dragonfly nodded, and then hopped down from the table.

Her eyes shifted over to the two former Decepticons playing cards in the corner with Nadir.

"Twitch," The thin black mech started, eyes shifting upwards. "We need these cables out of the way."

He skittered upward, climbing the wall and using the large metal shooting gun in his arm to attach the wires out of the way.

He dropped once he had finished and returned to the game.

"Prime! Prime! I did it!" Soundsmash raced up, a goofy expression on his face.

"Prime? Optimus Prime?" Jade frowned. Viper glanced up, thin tail lodged inside a computer.

"No. You! You're our leader, which means you're a Prime. Unless you'd rather be a Lord. Like Megatron."

"But Megatron is dead, dead...dead!" Twitch sneered.

"But I'm not a Prime."

"Oops." The Russian spiked accent made everyone in the room fall silent.

"What did you do, Viper?" Jade asked slowly, dreading the answer.

"Do you want the good news or the bad news?" The snake asked, shifting slightly.

"Bad news."

"I may, or may not have changed your last name to Prime."

"What!?"

"The good news is that I managed to hack one of the government's Sectors."

"Which one?" Dragonfly asked her fellow femme.

"Sector Seven, where Megatron and the AllSpark were kept."

"I can't believe you change my last name! Can you change it back!? You can change it back, right?"

"Um...no." Viper shook her head, scales around her head fluttering.

"Well, shit."

"It's not that bad." Nadir patted her leg awkwardly.

Jade grumbled and stomped to the kitchen counter, and smacked it was she brought out food.

She yelped as her hand it the counter, and pulled it back as crackles of blue energy vanished.

The apartment was quiet, and then the sudden sound of shifting metal permeated the air.

"Creator!" Three mechs tackled her to the ground.

"Ow."

"Sorry. Did we hurt you?" The army green one asked from her left.

"Don't be hurt, Creator!" The smaller silver one wailed.

"Yeah. What they said." The third grunted.

"Who the hell are you?" She asked, pushing them off as the Trixbots crowded behind her.

"We don't have designations yet!" The smallest replied.

Dragonfly ran a scan quickly, causing the three new mechs to hide in alarm.

"Scan complete. Processing." Dragonfly muttered. "AllSpark energy detected."

She passed a scan over Jade too.

"AllSpark."

Jade blinked.

"That's not good is it?"
