The Transformers: The Light That Saves Us All

Peace

It was a few days after Megatron's siege on Earth was stopped by Optimus Prime and his men. Lori checked out Autobot City and was beyond happy with all she saw. Everyone was working and hanging out but then she saw the Dinobots walk into the woods nearby. She followed their direction before Optimus stood behind her, "I hope you're not going without me." He said in a joking manner as Lori turned and shook her head, smiling at the Prime. "Let's go together big guy." Prime nodded and picked her up as he set her on his shoulder. He walked towards the woods surrounding the city as he checked his gauntlet comms. He sighed in relief, "Magnus is healing and Prowl has command for now." He lowered his hand as he looked around, "Are you enjoying this world?" He turned to Lori as she nodded, "It's so similar to mine. Before Nemesis... Just like how I remembered..." Prime nodded as he kept walking. Lori tilted her head, "Where are we going exactly?" She asked
"Oh we have a hang out time." Prime moved some branches out of the way as Starscream, Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Elita-1, Kup, Thundercracker, Ironhide, Grimlock, Lightspeed, Afterburner, Scattershot, Nosecone, Strafe, and the human friends sat together against a rock, cooking food and making Energon. Prime sat with them, "Soundwave didn't-?"
Starscream shook his head, "He only wanted to help but for some reason he didn't wanna leave the cons yet..."
Grimlock looked at Starscream, "Unlike you?" The new Aerialbot nodded as he looked at his wings, "I don't even know how it happened... I just defended the humans and this these showed up..." Prime gently patted his shoulder, "Your spark chose what it wanted. You trained to be a Decepticon but you're spark wanted to do what was right... Thus you chose your side at last." Prime said as Starscream nodded, "I need to make things right. For all of you. Grimlock, Prime, Magnus, the humans, every last one of the humans." Buster smiled at him, "That started a few days ago man! So far so good!" He chuckled as Starscream bowed his head and smiled. Lori looked at Buster, "So... You're the great Buster Witwicky?" Buster looked at her and shrugged, "Probably? Didn't know I was great." Spike laughed, "What do you mean? You're amazing, brah!" Buster chuckled as he ate a chicken wing, "Thanks brother." He looked at Lori, "And you're the last daughter of Cybertron." Lori shook her head, "No. Just last surviving being of my universe..." Charlie ate a burger before shrugging, "Welcome to our Earth. Already vastly different than yours." Lori looked around as Elita drank some energon. Grimlock told a story and Hot Rod sighed softly, looking up at the sky. Optimus looked up with him, "So... he talked to you?"
Hot Rod nodded, "Yep. But he said I'm not a Prime. Fair enough, you were still alive and you're you." He smiled as Prime nodded, "I see..." he looked over at Grimlock as the Dinobot relaxed with his friends and the Technobots. Scattershot cleaned his blaster, "I live for guns. They're the best weapons anyone could ever have." Lori giggled as Starscream shrugged, "I personally like the swords now. Though proton cannons get the job done." Buster sighed softly as Thundercracker hung his head. Skyfire turned to him, "You alright dude?"
"N-No... I wish Skywarp joined us..." Snarl looked at him and rose a brow.
"Would've been great to have the big three on the Autobots..." Prime nodded at Thundercracker, "We may get that chance my friend."

After a little bit, Buster and Lori sat on Prime's shoulder as Drift, Starscream, and Thundercracker all walked with him. "Optimus? Why are we out here? Shouldn't you have one of your elite troops with you?" Starscream asked.
Prime kept walking, "No. My friends are bust with their own missions." Thundercracker rose a brow, "But... what if we or someone else attacked?"
"No offense to you guys but there's only three of you... And I have taken on over 10 transformers at once." Drift chuckled, "You really are somethin' else..." Lori smiled and looked at Optimus, "I try my best for the little ones. Humans, Autobots, everyone else... We defend all life regardless of size. It is our destiny to help as many people as we can... This war has ravaged too many worlds and it must end in Autobot Victory. If Megatron wins he'll slaughter and enslave until the only living beings are Decepticons... He must be stopped and now I see that it must be no matter the cost..." Starscream rose a brow, "Then why have special teams like the Wreckers?"
"Simple. They're built for war but also have the capacity for nuture and care. Take Verity Carlo for example." He pointed to where she was in Autobot City. She was building a new armor with Perceptor and Springer. They were laughing and making faces. "They take care of her as if she were their child." Starscream tilted his head as he nodded, "I see..."
Prime pointed to Bumblebee and Hoist who were with Charlie, Spike and Carly, "They all hang out together. A small family of sorts." Side-Burn and Cliffjumper joined the group as Cliff picked up Carly and hugged her. Drift rose a brow, "Woah... They're hugging... I never knew that side of Cliffjumper existed..."
Prime turned to the two, "Like you two, there is more to us than meets the eye."

The group returned to Autobot City as Optimus walked to Elita and held her hand before turning to Starscream and holding Lori in his other hand, "Starscream, watch her for the night. Elita and I must have alone time." Starscream knelt down and bowed his head, "Yes sir!" Optimus chuckled and stood him up, "There's no need for that my friend." Starscream was taken aback before nodding and holding Lori in his hands. Prime and Elita drove off after saying their goodbyes to Lori. Starscream looked down at her and started walking towards the Ark. When they got inside he saw Buster and Spike laughing and making jokes with Charlie and Bumblebee. Carly looked at Starscream and back at Kicker, "That's still weird ain't it?"
He nodded, "Kinda." Mirage walked out of his room and saw the former seeker standing there. He smiled and walked to him, "Baweepgraanaweepninibon." Starscream chuckled at him, "That's not entirely accurate but good try old friend... How have you been?" Mirage gently hugged him as Lori smiled at the two. "I'm okay. Welcome brother..." Starscream nodded and smiled as the two walked to the main group, "May we join you?" Starscream asked as Charlie shrugged. Kicker kept his head down and Buster finally spoke, "Sure guys! We'd love it if ya joined us!" He smiled as the two big bots sat with them and let Lori join the group. They worked on weapons, fixed each other up and were at peace... At Last...
