Grimlock was walking down the long hall looking for Lora. She hadn't come back after she left to stretch her legs, and that worried the Dinobot leader. He didn't know why, but he was concerned for the human that had saved his life.

Soon Grimlock stumbled across her lying unconscious on the ground. As gently as he could he picked up the young girl and ran back to the main room. Worry coursed through him. Had the Decepticons done something to her that they weren't aware of?

Ratchet noticed him enter the room first.

"What happened?!" He asked, concern clear in his voice as Grimlock approached the medic.

"I don't know. I found her like this lying in the middle of the hallway," Grimlock explained as he handed Lora over to Ratchet. Ratchet then placed her on the medical berth and tended to her. All Grimlock could do was watch and hope for the best, but worry still wormed through him.
•••••••••••••
Lora's P.O.V
I woke up to Ratchet leaning over me. I opened my eyes slowly before blinking away the grogginess.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah" I replied back.

"What happened?"

"I got another vision," I said "but this time, it wasn't Primus." Everyone walked over to hear what I was saying. "He called himself Alpha Trion. He showed me the history of Cybertron."

"Wait, you talked to Alpha Trion?" Smokescreen asked impatiently, disbelief in his voice.

"Yeah." Everyone was silent. "You guys know him?" I asked, sensing that they weren't telling me something.

"Yes, I used to protect him during the war," Smokescreen said. "And Optimus was a clerk that worked along side him before he became a Prime."

"Oh. Wow."

"A question still remains, you were able to talk to Primus because he made the amulet, but how are you able to talk to Alpha Trion?" Optimus said after a moment. I thought about his question.

"I don't know," I replied truthfully while shrugging.

Then a voice started to come out of my mouth that wasn't mine and I had no way to stop it from coming.

"Hello, Optimus Prime," I recognized the voice as Alpha Trion's. "It has been to long."

"That it has. If I may ask, how are you speaking through Lora?" Optimus asked.

"I am apart of the amulet. During the Great War Primus gave me the task of protecting the amulet. I knew I was going to die so I placed some of my consciousness in the amulet so when that time came, I would become one with the amulet, not the All spark. While Primus revives our planet, I'm tasked with protecting the amulet. Why Primus talked to Lora for a bit before me was because I didn't have power to do so. Primus helped me figure out how to control the Amulet from the inside."

"You can control the amulet?" Ultra Magnus checked.

"Yes. I can control all of its powers. It is a safe guard put into place if it was found by a Decepticon. If that happened, I could just control them until I found an Autobot. Although, I did not have enough power left to do that to Lora. I did not know what planet I was on or if the inhabitants were friendly.

"I am still unsure of how Lora was able to pick up the amulet and use its abilities as it only responds to Cybertronians, but her chance of stumbling upon it was perhaps the most beneficial even that has happened." Alpha Trion said through me.

"So your dead?" Smokescreen asked sadly.

"Yes and no. The Decepticons killed my body, but in the amulet I live on. The Decepticons do not know about the amulet and me being apart of it, and they must not ever know, no matter what." Alpha Trion sternly ordered. Bumbleebee then said something.

"I'm sorry. Normally I would be able to understand you Bumbleebee but since it is through Lora's audio receptors I can not," Alpha Trion apologized.

"How did the amulet get to Earth?" I heard Raf translated.

"Thank you Earthling," Alpha Trion thanked. "I cast the amulet out into space when I knew the Decepticons would get to me. I had no idea where it would land and only hoped that Optimus or some Autobot would find it. Luckily it arrived on Earth, right where you went.

"Now, I'm unfamiliar with the names of some of these warriors. Who are you?"I\Alpha Trion pointed to the Dinobots that were grouped together.

"I'm Grimlock, leader of the Dinobots. Behind me are Slug, Scorn, and Swoop. We were Shockwave's experiments. Lora helped us escape," Grimlock explained. 

"Are there more Dinobots?"

"We are not sure. We were the only ones on the Decepticon warship that we know of." Slug answered for his leader.

"And, who are you?" Alpha Trion asked while he made me point to Jack, Miko and Raf.

"I'm Jack, and this is Miko and Raf." Jack introduced.

"And you know about the war between the Autobots and Decepticons?"

"Yes. We have helped them in any way we can to try and help the Autobots. My mother and Agent Fowler also know about the Autobots and Decepticons." Jack explained.

"Do you know anything about a second amulet?" Ultra Magnus asked.

"Yes," Alpha Trion's voice went grave. "It is called the amulet of death, the power of Unicron."

"You lost me," Bulkhead said.

"While the amulet of life has more defensive powers like protection against incoming projectiles and controlling of the wearer, the amulet of death is more offense, like shooting dark Energon and the power to resurrect the dead." Alpha Trion continued.

"Wait, now you lost me," Arcee said, clearly confused. "So it can resurrect the dead just like normal dark Energon?"

"Not quite. The dead that the amulet resurrects have all their memories but are under the control of the wearer of the amulet. They are themselves as they were before they died, but have to listen to the bearer of the amulet no matter what, even if that means to hurt themselves or someone they hold dear. In order to bring the dead back, unlike dark Energon, it just needs a single piece of the transformer, not a body. They are also much harder to kill.

"There is no way, that I know of, to change the resurrected from being under control of wearer of the amulet. In order to control the amulet of death, you need to have dark energon flowing through your veins instead of normal energon. If not the amulet will not work."

"That's kind of cool but messed up at the same time," Smokescreen said.

"I'm sorry that our time was short but, I can feel my energy ebbing away and I refuse to use Lora's. Before I go, please give the amulet energon every time it uses some. If not, I will have to take some of Lora's strength and I dislike doing that." Then, Alpha Trion was gone and I was once again in control.

"Woah," I thought. "That was an interesting experience."

"Lora, Sorry about doing that," Alpha Trion said in my head. I jumped slightly but continued to listen. "Thank you for not giving the amulet to the Decepticons. You have tremendous bravery."

"You're welcome. Just a question, can you do anything else with the whole control wearer thing?"

"Yes, I can take complete control, including looking into your memories. I promise not to do it without your permission."

"Thanks. We still need to talk about personal boundaries though," I thought as I shook my head.

"Dude that was creepy. Anyone else creeped out?" Miko piped up.
