Hours later the bots came back. Skywalker came running with Orion. "Optimus? Is he..." Rachet trailed off. "Dead? No" Arcee said. "But he looked right at us and didn't recognize us." Bulkhead said. Rachet knew what had happened. "When he released the matrix. He lost more than just the power of prime. He lost himself" rachet said. "He knew Megatron" bulkhead said. "Then I seems Optimus has reverted to his pre-prime state." Rachet said. "You mean, him as Orion pax" Skywalker said. "Yes, the very name you gave your son. As Orion pax he was an archivist for icon." Rachet said.

"Are you saying that prime thinks he's some sort of librarian and a Decepticon?" Agent Fowler asked. "Optimus may not be a autobot in his head. But I must believe he will never stop being one in his heart" rachet said. "I agree. I bet the ring I gave him on our wedding day might help us." Skywalker said. "I hope so" rachet said.

Meanwhile on the Decepticon warship, an amnesia bound Optimus was looking at that very ring. He didn't remember why he had it. Arachnid came where he was. "Hey Orion" arachnid said. Arachnid had found a ring to make it look like they got married. "Hey, arachnid, do you know why I have this ring?" Optimus asked. "of course. We are married after all" arachnid said. "why don't I remember that?" Optimus asked. "We had to escape cybertronian soon after and we were separated. You hit your head. I thought you were gone forever" arachnid lied. "Arachnid, I am sorry. But I need time before we come back together. I'm sorry" Optimus said. "I'll wait as long as you need me too. Rest, Megatron wants you to de code the data soon" Arachnid said. She left. "Hopefully, he will never go back to that girl and we can rule the Decepticons together" arachnid thought.

Back at base Rachet started talking about a contingency plan. Everyone was confused except jack. "The key card. What's it do" Jack asked. "it allows you to assess vector sigma. It will get us the matrix of leadership back into him" rachet said. "so we just download his memory's? Great. Which one is the big V. Over here, somewhere in back?" Jack said. "no, it is at icon. On cybertronian" rachet said.

The problem was they didn't have a way to cybertronian. Miko got the idea to supercharge the ground bridge. Rachet thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to try.

So he got to work. Two months after Optimus joined the Decepticons, the cons went after the ample power source again at the same base they hit two months earlier. Skywalker was able to be in the field again. "Roll out" rachet said.

Skywalker, Arcee, bumblebee, and bulkhead went to the base. Skywalker saw knockout and breakdown with the power source. Then she saw some wounded men. She had to help them. She coverd them from more gun fire. The next thing she saw was Arcee's going though the deception ground bridge. She knew Arcee was trying to get Optimus back.

They got back to base. Rachet had been watching Orion. Fowler called angry saying that there were over a dozen wounded at the sight. Flower said they needed to get there act together or they would shut down the operation.

The bots, minis Skywalker, were argueing abour not getting Optimus. Arcee's couldn't blame Fowler for being angry since Optimus would normally order an evaluation. Bulkhead was saying they wouldn't know what he would do since Optimus wasn't there. "Guys, calm down. No one is looking at the positive. No one seems to mention what the 'cons got there claws on!" Jack yelled. "Yes, we allowed them to get a power supply for their space bridge and he can raise a undead army." Rachet said. "What if we take over the space bridge. And used it to get me to cybertronian." Jack said. "Whoa, that's actually is a good idea" Miko said. "Well if Miko thinks that" rachet started.

They knew they were looking for a needle in a hay stack. They knew the space bridge had to be on earth. The whole team started scouting known deception energon deposits. Skywalker stayed behind to help rachet and take care of her son. Bulkhead returned first saying he didn't find anything. Rachet was clearly upset. Then a high frequency signal with an imbeded message was sent. Bulkhead thought it was Optimus. But it was Starscream. "I have information regarding your leader. Bring medical kit" racher read. Bulkhead and Skywalker went with rachet dispute it saying to come alone.

When they arrived at his coordinance, he was leaking energon from his leg. When he saw bulkhead and Skywalker he looked mad. "I told you to come alone!" He yelled. Skywalker got in his face. "Listen, I help rachet. But you know where my husband is. Start talking." Skywalker said angrily. "Apparently your precious leader has lost his senses, he goes by the name Orion Pax now." Starscream said. "Where is he?" Rachet asked. "Where do you think. On the deception war ship" Starscream said. "Where is it?" Skywalker said. "Now, who knows. It's a ship, it moves." Starscream said.

He was surprised to hear they already knew he was going by Orion. They were getting ready to leave. "Wait, that's all I have. I swear" Starscream pleated. "Unless you know where the Decepticons have there space bridge, than you can rust" Skywalker said. Starscream gasped. "Space bridge? You mean they actually mean they finished building it without my supervision!" He yelled. Sky, bulk, and rachet looked at each other. Starscream chucked. "The pain hurts the most here, doctor" Starscream said showing his wound. "I'll get him. You guys go back." Skywalker said taking the medical kit. She patched up his leg after he gave the information. Before he left, Skywalker pulled him close. Since he didn't have a shirt, he had to grab his neck. "If I find out you were lieing, I will personally find you and destroy you. That is a promise" Skywalker said. " I didn't lie. Go save that husband of yours. I think Arachnid is trying to convince him that she and him got married.

Skywalker let go of him and went back to base.  The others came back and were ready for thw plan to secure the space bridge and Jack to cybertron. His mother was worried. But Jack said he was the only one who could do this. Fowler got him a state of the art space suit. Skywalker and arcee were planning on going with him. Fowler and june were able to watch Orion.

Finally the time had come. The whole team went to capture the space bridge. Rachet was able to scramble the com link for the Decepticons. There only way this would be successful, was if they used stealth.

They were able to get to the space bridge and secure it. They called for Jack and he came wearing his space suit. "Are you ready?" Arcee asked. Jack nodded. "This will be new for both of us Jack. I've never been to cybertron either." Skywalker said. Rachet opened the space bridge and they went though.
