When we landed, only then did it occur to me that I didn't ask where we were going. It was a pleasant surprise to land in England, but I mentally hit myself for forgetting something so crucial.

"Welcome to England. Lord Folgan is waiting for us." Cogman said and led Bee and I off of the plane.

It was pretty here. Green rolling hills and old buildings everywhere. Cogman led us up to a castle with a man standing outside. He held a cane and seemed to be talking to his dog who sat next to him.

"Lord Folgan, they have arrived," Cogman said and presented us.

"Ah, if it isn't the Guardian herself." The man said and reached to shake my hand. I nodded slowly and returned the gesture.

"Nice to meet you Mister Folgan, but what's going on?" I signed.

"Well, you were given the Talisman by the dying Knight. You are the last piece of the pie Guardian. And please, call me Edmond." He said and I was still confused. As I was about to ask another question, I heard the roar of an engine approaching. I acted on instinct and transformed into my bipedal mode to protect the others. The Godkiller rested firmly in my hands while my wings flared out behind me. A black and orange Lamborghini Centenario came down the road and parked before letting out a woman. The Lamborghini transformed and the woman swung a croquet mallet at him.

"I do so love perfect timing," Edmond said and I watched in human form now as the Cybertronian and the woman were at odds with each other. This went on for a good ten minutes before I marched over and picked her up to place her in front of Edmond.

"Ms. Wembly, nice to meet you," Edmond said. The woman freaked out, screamed, and took several steps away from me.

"Little lady, that is no way to treat a Guardian." The new guy said. I waved it off and turned to him.

"Who are you?" I signed and he looked confused. Bee stepped over and repeated the question for me.

"My apologies Guardian, I did not know you could not communicate. My name is Hot Rod, at your service." He said with a French accent. I smiled to show my understanding and he nodded.

"If you all would follow me inside please," Edmond said and we all followed him. Bee kind of hovered over me protectively as we walked and I smiled. Ever since Optimus left and Rayne was born, he has been really protective over me and Rayne. I don't mind it, but I don't know why he does it either.

When we stepped into the castle, I stayed behind to watch them. I have this weird fear of not knowing when to take my shoes off when going into someone's home. Edmond slipped off his shoes and I sighed in relief before taking my boots off. Edmond led us into a large room that looked like a study and Ms. Wembly went to go change her clothes. I sat down in a chair and Edmond sat across from me.

"Are you alright?" He asked and I tilted my head in question. "There is blood coming from your nose."

I raised an eyebrow and wiped under my nose, it was wet. I brought my hand back and raised both my eyebrows at the color it turned. My fingers were stained a bright cyan with my blood. Odd, maybe it's just a little dry here. Edmond handed me a tissue and I nodded in thanks before shoving it up my nose. I may not have looked very presentable, but it worked. Ms. Wembly walked in at that moment and stared at me oddly before sitting down.

"Ms. Viviane Wembly, Master of History Oxford, Doctor of Philosophy, also Oxford, and Doctor of Letters again Oxford I believe. This is the Guardian." Edmond introduced.

"The Guardian?" She asked, unimpressed. I nodded pridefully and she just raised an eyebrow.

"Ms. Wembly, the Guardian is a decorated hero here on Earth. She has saved our lives many times without our knowledge." Edmond said and I waved it off as no big deal.
