Reaching the inner part of the village as fast as they could Ratchet, Optimus, and Prowl soon found Magnus standing with Sentinel, Jazz, and Rodimus, as well as the new mech that arrived. At first glance he didn't seem to be the gypsy type but the way he presented himself was very similar in nature to Light and how he dressed was similar as well it confirmed that he was a gypsy. As they approached Magnus quickly waved them over and introduced him to his guest. "Ahh Ratchet, there you are. I want you to meet Dai Atlas, another of Light's uncles that has traveled long and far to see her at long last. However, there is something interesting you should know but I think I will leave that to Dai Atlas to explain."

Nodding to Dai Atlas the gypsy mech nodded in return and faced Ratchet and the other with a calm and wise expression. "Yes, there is. You see, once I arrived and sought out the leader of your village I explained why I was here, which surprised him quite a bit. Asking why he told me that she had another uncle that arrived just a few days before with a very similar story. My good sir, Lightning Ray only has one uncle and that is me. The other is an imposter."

Hearing that Ratchet was immediately floored by that and glanced over at Rodimus as to say that they were right about Longarm and looked back at Dai Atlas when a sudden thought popped into his processor. "If you are the real uncle how did you know Light's name and that she was here?"

"Because I remember that that was the name her carrier picked out when she found out that she was sparked." Keeping calm Dai Atlas gripped the cane he was holding and gave Ratchet a respectful stance. "I remember that solar cycle very well because she was so elated that she was finally going to have a sparkling of her own to care for. And I was certainly proud for my sister when she told me and her sparkmate the news." As he spoke he couldn't help but smile a bit at how much the memory warmed his spark at how much joy there was for them that solar cycle. "And I knew that she was here because this was the direction the part of our clan was heading when they were making their journey. You see, we actually have had dealing with the Decepticons before, though they don't like to remember it with how high and mighty they act. When they attacked us before we managed to drive them off though at the cost of a few of our mechs, Light's sire included. It was a true tragedy for our clan and it left a deep scar in all of us for a very long time. After a long while we decided to split up the clan so that we could get a fresh start and try to move on. I had to stay behind with our grandsire and leader, Yoketron, who wasn't doing well and care for him until he passed on to the Well of Allsparks and I became leader. Before she left my sister promised me that she would do her best to stay in contact with me and let me know how Lightning was doing once she was born. At first everything seemed fine when suddenly all contact stopped and wondered what had happened until we heard the news and found out that the Decepticons had attacked once again. Hearing that just tore the scar open even deeper than before and it was like we were cursed to be with such tragedy for all of our lives. But when we heard the rumor that one did survive and was growing up in the village that they were camping beside I knew... I knew that it had to be Lightning and felt like it was the miracle we all had been waiting for. Once I made arrangements with the rest of the clan I made my journey here."
