"What did ya just say?" Jazz said interrupting. Epps rolled his eyes. "A freaking Fawks busted out of the cube-thingy we found." Epps said. "What is this 'Fawks'." Jazz asked. "A phoenix from Harry Potter. Not the point. A flaming metal bird came out and flew away. Almost burning the base down too." Epps said. "Could you describe this object." Optimus said. "Oh I can do better. Lenny here recorded the whole thing." Epps said. Lennox scowled at the nickname but pulled out his phone anyway. "Here's what happened." He said holding up the phone. Jazz and Optimus narrowed their optics. "Ah can barely see anything on dat tiny screen. Why is human technology so small." Jazz said. "We'll just have to say what happened." Lennox said putting his phone away. "Alright. As we were leaving there was this loud crack and then there was this heat." Epps said. "Then we saw this phoenix trying to claw its way out and when it did it just stared at us then flew away." Lennox finished. Optimus hummed in thought. "There can only be one explanation." Optimus said. "Aw not that old carrier tale, Prime. Tha Solar Flare ain't real." Jazz groaned. "What's the Solar Flare?" Lennox asked. "It is a story from many years ago about the first war on Cybertron. The planet was consumed by flames and turned to ash. But from that ash rose a flaming being that restored the planet and all life. But in doing so it went into stacis lock and vanished." Optimus said. "So basically its the Jesus of Cybertron." Epps said. The mechs looked at each other in confusion.
"Who's-"
"It depends on what religion you believe in." Lennox said. "So why is this Solar Flare on Earth?" Epps asked. "That I do not know. The stories say it vanished so Cybertronians would be more careful with Cybertron. That it would only return if there was no other way for life to go on." Optimus said. "Yeah, Megatron sure was careful when he started the war. Now Cybertron is uninhabitable." Jazz said. "Well since the Allspark was destroyed this could be your second chance." Lennox said. "Too bad Solar Flare ain't real." Jazz said. "Either way, I thank you for notifying us." Optimus said. "Well let you know if we see it again." Epps said. The mechs nodded. ::Ratchet, can you open a ground bridge.:: Optimus said into his Comm. A shimmering tunnel opened up and the mechs walked through. "Well at least I got to learn some Cybertronian mythology." Epps said. Lennox shook his head and laughed.

"So what did Lennox want." Ratchet said after Optimus and Jazz stepped out. "From what they said it sounds like Solar Flare." Optimus said. Ratchet blinked. "You mean that story you told me when I was a sparkling?" Bumblebee said. Optimus nodded.
::Hey guys, I found something no.. um someone.:: Sunstreaker said over the Comm.
::Alright we're on our way.:: Ironhide replied.
