I groaned and held my side after getting attacked by Starscream. I was leaking. I looked up at Starscream and changed my gun into a sword. Starscream and I continued to fight. I spotted more Cybertronians coming my way and activated my mask and shield. Battle mask and optic shield.

I continued fighting, dogging every once in a while to avoid Starscream's attacks. I took a quick glance over at the unknown bots. Once I realized who they were, I altered my voice and hit Starscream so he'd be down for a bit.

"What's going on?", Barricade asked.

"And how can we help?", Bumblebee stepped forward.

"Starscream, as you can see, is alive and well. He's been sending drones after my ship for quite some time. He killed two of my bots.", I answered.

"Prime!", I turned toward Jacket, "You better come see this!"

"Let's go.", I told the two mechs and they came aboard, "What's going....on....."

"What is that?", Barricade asked.

"That is someone I thought I'd never see again. Femmes, battle stations! We cannot allow DarkStinger get our precious cargo!", I ordered and ran over to the controls.

"So, you're a Prime?", Bumblebee asked, clear amazement in his voice.

"Uh, not exactly. I only have the markings of a future Prime. I could never live up to what my sire and siblings have done.", I stated.

"WE HAVE INCOMING!", Skull yelled.

"Evasive maneuvers! Jacket, get us out of here!", I stood up and allowed Jacket to take the wheel.

"Commander, there's damage to the ship. I'm afraid that if it's not fixed soon, we'll crash.", Jacket said as she dogged a few blasts from the other ship.

"I'll go fix it.", Bumblebee volunteered.

"I'm afraid only the commander can go out there. Her armor is strong enough to withstand the heat.", Jacket stated.

"What heat?", Barricade asked.

"It's near the engines.", I answered.

I grabbed the necessary supplies and exited the ship. I headed straight for the engines.

Optimus POV

Bumblebee and Barricade, two of our best warriors, have left Cybertron to aid a fellow comrade. A knock on my office door caused me to look up.

"You may enter.", I stated, hiding my worry.

Elita walked in and closed the door, "I'm worried about her. We haven't seen her since the twins were born shortly before the war started. I can't help to think that she might be offline."

"Elita, please. Don't think about that. Our eldest daughter is strong. She could be on the planet and we wouldn't even know. She might even be having a party with some of her friends.", I tried to make her feel better, "June, she's a lot stronger than you and I combined. She has traits that could have benefited her in the war."

"Your right.", Elita smiled and hugged me, "You always do know how to cheer me up."

Unknown POV

I smiled as DarkStinger's ship left. The ship had been fixed and I was back inside. Everyone relaxed.

"You did it, Commander. Had you been in recharge this whole time, we wouldn't have made it out.", Jacket smiled.

"Rocket and Starfighter's sacrifices will not be in vain.", I said and took comfort in that they are in a better place.

"Hey, we never did get your designation.", Barricade said.

"Yeah, all we know is Jacket and Skull.", Bumblebee stated.

"Do not pressure her to reveal her designation.", Jacket and Skull stood on either side of me.

"Do you two even know her designation?", Barricade asked.

"No. However, we trust our commander.", Skull took a step forward.

"Skull, stand down. It is about time I reveal my true identity.", I changed my voice to match my own and took a deep breath.
