What happens when she finds out that this isn't the case, how will she react when Megatron threatens to truly offline her mate? Will she work with Optimus and the rest of the Autobots to protect the humans, or will her Decepticon side deter her from doing so? Set before, during and after TF, ROTF and DOTM

Chapter 2.

A few Earth months passed and the creature had become accustomed to the way the organics did things on the planet. The creature had been keeping mental notes on the behavior of the organics when it saw them. The creature noticed that the organics were very much like Cybertronians in the way they had their relationships, some organics had mates, some organics were sparkmated and some were sparkbonded. The creature had also noticed that there was a variety of organics that had sparklings and that not all of the organics that had sparklings were sparkbonded or sparkmated, some didn't even have mates. What was worse, was that some sparklings didn't even have their mech creator, some didn't have their femme creator and some didn't have any creators at all.

'It is very strange, how can the femmes and mechs of this planet just stand by and watch sparklings suffer?'

The creature had since parked outside of an apartment complex and had tapped into the local security cameras and had been watching the organics in their natural environment as it were. It had been interesting for her to watch how some of the organics acted when they had lost their bonded, it was very different than how Cybertronians acted.

'It is like they do not seem to care that their bonded had offlined, extremely different than us Cybertronians. If any of my bonded offlined, I would surely offline too.'

The creature had also been thinking about its mates back on Cybertron. It was clear that none of the creatures mates had been offlined, otherwise it would've felt the pain of one of the bonds being broken. As it thought back to when its femme creator had told it that its mate had offlined, at the time, the creature had believed its femme creator and had allowed itself to be taken to the escape pod, though now that the creature thought about it, if its mate had been offlined, it would've felt it and its spark would've been in pain.

Also within the few Earth months the creature had been here, another meteorite had landed on this dirtball and the creature had gone to investigate, seeing that it was another Cybertronian. The creature had stayed back until it could find out the identity of the other Cybertronian.

'Identify yourself.'

The other Cybertronian looked up at the creature and the creature then heard something in its comm link.

::R-Rex?:: The other Cybertronian asked.

The creature looked at the other Cybertronian and transformed, showing itself to the other alien.

::Identify yourself.:: The creature demanded.

The other creature gave a series of whirs and clicks.

::Autobot Bumblebee.:: The other Cybertronian said.

The creature's faceplates formed a face of shock, before it stepped forward and pulled the other Cybertronian into a hug.

::Any word on the others?:: The creature asked.

Bumblebee nodded and the two began to talk, before Bumblebee went to find an alt form he could transform into. He found it in a '76 Chevrolet Camaro. Rex snorted at him.

::Nice.:: Rex said.

Bumblebee and Rex then laughed, before they both began to drive.

::Who won the war?:: Rex asked.

The other Autobot let a burst of static out of his radio.

::No-one. Optimus sent the Allspark into space, it landed here and Megatron followed it.:: Bumblebee said.

This time Rex let a burst of static out of her radio.

::Ever the power hungry fragger. W-what of my creators?:: She asked.

There was silence over the comm link and Rex instantly knew what that meant. Her creators hadn't survived, which obviously meant that none of her family survived the war. Rex felt her spark throb painfully at the recognition; she was practically alone in her life now. No mate, no creators. A small whine escaped her and Bumblebee slowed down a little. Rex composed herself and sped up again.

::I am fine Bumblebee.:: She said.

Bumblebee gave a small click and continued to get used to his new alt form. Soon, both cars parked in a disused residential lot and Rex began to tell Bumblebee about the humans and the Internet along with how he could learn Earth's languages to help him communicate with the humans if needed. Bumblebee then went on to tell Rex how his vocal processors were damaged in battle and that Ratchet was still working on them to get them working again.

::Why are you here Bumblebee?:: Rex asked.

Bumblebee told her of the plan that he had to find the human called Samuel Witwicky, because he had a pair of eyeglasses that had the code to where the Allspark was and possibly how to win the war. Rex let out some clicks before she started her engine, Bumblebee did exactly the same and they both went to find this Samuel Witwicky and hopefully get the code for the glasses. Rex looked on the Internet as they drove.

::I have found him, he is not too far from here. It should take at least the Earth solar cycle to arrive there.:: she said.

Bumblebee chirped a little and they both upped their speeds, arriving at the house in the same amount of time Rex had predicted. As soon as they got there though, Rex stopped by Bumblebee.

::I will be close by if needed, keep me posted of what is going on.:: She said.

She then drove off and waited in the next row of houses, sitting by the side of the road and monitoring what was going on with Bumblebee.

::Samuel is going to buy a car tomorrow, what should I do?:: Bumblebee asked.

Rex thought about this and then had a good idea.

::You will be the vehicle Samuel buys. From what I have learned about humans, their first car is usually purchased from an Auto Resale store named Bobby Bolivia's. You will go there and Bumblebee, acquire that human by any means necessary, without harming any of the humans of course.:: she replied.

Bumblebee gave a bit of a click over the comm link and then drove away from the house.

A/N: Okay so, I'd like to thank my Beta Ninnasims3 for giving me an idea for the rest of this chapter. I would also like to thank her for actually being my beta. Also, I will get to my other stories, namely the Expendables stories when I get the inspiration to continue them. I'd like to thank all of my readers for reading this story and a big thank you to...

For being my first reviewer and I hope you enjoy this chapter too. Now, as you've probably noticed, I wanted to get some things out of the way before the first movie starts, so like, when Bee came to Earth and how he found Sam. Ninnasims3 gave me the idea of using a scene from Transformers: The Game, where Bee sits outside the Witwicky household and overhears Sam talking about getting a car.

Now I would like to say, if you want to know anything about Rex, as I said in the last chapter, please feel free to PM me and ask about her. I would also like to inform you, that you may use Rex as a character in your story/ies if you first ask permission from both myself and Ratchet'sapprentice. Anyway, thanks again for reading and a few more reviews would be nice. Thanks.
