At the center of of Embla, the citizens of Embla, refugees from Askr, and the Autobots all watched as the hologram shuts down and Optimus Prime speaking to them, "And that's how our war have arrived to your peaceful home planet." They all began to chatter in the masses about their newly gained knowledge. "There's life outside of our planet?" "These steel giants are sure strange beings." "A war that lasted for millions of years?" The Empress then spoke out, "Cybertron, it's beautiful..." Henriette looks up at Optimus, "And those that attacked us in Askr yesterday were the 'Decepticons' like you've said?" "That is correct. As I had said, the Decepticons have followed us ever since we had fled from Cybertron. No matter which planet we landed at, they were always right behind us. Unfortunately however, we had only brought destruction to every planet we've been to." He then looks at the refugees, "I wish we hadn't landed here." "I know it's not your fault, all of you just wanted to look for refuge since you were losing the war." The Queen responds to him. "You aren't at all, but I must bear the responsibility for what I have brought upon your world."

Alfonse steps up to speak towards the crowd, "Askrans, Emblians, I know all of you are terrified about what had happened just last night. I want to be honest with all of you now, I thought we weren't going to make it out alive. Me, Sharena, Veronica, Anna, Kiran, and Xander believed that all of us were going to die that night. In fact, we would have been dead if it wasn't for the assistance of Optimus Prime and the Autobots." He points at his new allies, "All of them saved our lives from the invading Decepticons. They also escorted us from our fallen kingdom that's now most likely occupied by them. But I will make sure that our country will be liberated from their clutches, without shedding any more Askran blood." "The same can be said and applied to my Emblian citizens as well!" Veronica rushes next to him. "Along with Alfonse, I saw what had happened to the remaining Askran Soldiers that stayed behind and tried to defend their home! From one blast of their weapons, they were evaporated and nothing was left of them! Just ashes. From their size alone, they can easily squeeze us to death by either using their hands or their own feet. What's worse is that most of our weapons were ineffective. We only destroyed two out of likely the hundreds they all have! Even when I'm empowered by the once Embla, the most I can do is scratching them."

"I can help you guys with that." Wheeljack spoke to them, "Just as long as I can get the proper measurements and your guys fighting skills, I can make you guys some gear made specifically from Cybertronian steel!" They all looked at him, "Really?" "Of course. But I may have to hold onto that though since you guys have gone through enough." He responds to them. "We'll gratefully appreciate it." Alfonse spoke to Wheeljack. "What I also want to propose is that for each day, we rotate some of our Autobots to come towards this capital and have your people getting comfortable with them." Optimus suggests to them. Both the Empress and Henriette looked at him, "There's more Autobots? Here in Midgard?" Elita speaks to them, "Yes. The rest of us Autobots are still in the Ark, where some of them are either online of temporarily still in stasis." "The sooner they're introduced to us, the more comfortable we will be." The Empress replies to Elita. "Me and Optimus will take good note on that!" Jazz tells the ladies.

"Speaking of that, us Autobots will stay until the next morning." Optimus Prime spoke to the Empress, "But by morning, Jazz, Ironhide, Ratchet, and I will stay for another day. The rest will return to the Ark and inform the rest that are still there." All of the other Autobots nodded. "For now, rest. The humans have been through enough already." "Thank you, Optimus Prime." Alfonse thanks him. He turns to the rest of his group, "Alright everyone, we can now rest." All of them made their way towards the castle along with both the Queen and the Empress.

Ratchet and Wheeljack however stopped them in their tracks, "Hang on a moment, I still need to take care of the girl with a broken leg." "And Alfonse here wants me to do some fixing with some sort of weapon the brown haired guy is carrying." Sharena and Kiran turned around, "Oh right, my leg." She spoke to Ratchet as Kiran pulls out his Breidablik and looks at Wheeljack, "Ever since you guys crash landed here, the Breidablik had suddenly lost its power somehow. And I don't even know how it happened." The first to speak was Wheeljack, "Okay, that is one small weapon. I might need Perceptor to help me with this." Ratchet was next, "In order for me to help you, Sharena, I need to talk to medical professionals that are currently here. Is anyone here a doctor?" He called out to the group and a mixture of Askran and Emblian Priests and Bishops came to his aid, "We heard that you need our help?" "I am going to need all of you to teach me how to heal your kind. Alfonse, I hope you don't mind if I take care of her?" "No, not at all." He responds to Ratchet as he carries Sharena in his hands and both the Priests and Bishops followed him. Wheeljack leaves them on their own, "I'll try to get Perceptor to come here one day. I can promise that the Breidablik is good as new."
