"What is it?" Cade asked as I began climbing up towards the top of the ship. "It looks like one of the ships from Cybertron, but almost older. Like hundreds, maybe almost 1000 years old. I'm not sure."

I got to the top of the ship and saw that the glass on the pod was cracked, but it was big enough for me to fit through. As I slipped through, I began feeling a massive headache. Images began to appear in my mind.

The images of me as the Cybertronian knights. Me fighting in the battle of Camelot alongside King Arthur and his many brave knights. Of me in another person's body. I saw my dad, but he looked completely different from now. He was more squarer but still had the kindred look as always. But I was dressed in an army outfit. A camoflague green jumpsuit with black combat boots.

I was about 4 feet from the ground and I was glowing like I did now. How could there be someone with the same powers as me? Like Quintessa?

"Dina lare bast." I heard as my mind came back to reality and I looked down at what looked like one of the Cybertronian knights from the vision.

"What?"

"Dina lare bast." He said before I began to understand what he was saying.

What was telling me that I was a knight like him. But that doesn't explain why I don't remember or how I was even a knight.

I shocked myself when I spoke the words: "Nasila kaesed gase dina maki?"

I was trying to ask him how could I be a knight if I can't remember. But it came out in the same language as his. Maybe it was our foreign tongue from Cybertron. I didn't know. But I wasn't expecting him to reply with:

"The power inside you is what has been keeping you alive all these cycles, Zara." My eyes went wide but I didn't reply. I didn't know what else to say. Did my dad know about this? What is going on here?

"Seglass Ni Tonday." He said before he brought out a template. He handed it to me, which I was hesitant to take.

"I can't." I said shaking my head. He continued to hold it out to me. I looked at it before I looked at the knight. I hesitantly took it before I watched his dim glowing green optics faded to dark. A blue crystal appeared from his chestplate and I quickly took it, knowing that it would something in the end. I didn't know yet.
-

"What took you? I almost you-are you okay?" Cade asked as I walked past him really quick. "Lordes?"

"He's gone. He died to protect the staff." I muttered the last part as I threw my bag on my shoulder.

"Who was it? Lordes, please!" Cade shouted as he stopped from walking any farther. "What's going on?"

"He was a knight. From Cybertron. He fought alongside me in the war on Cybertron. Well, at least, that's what my visions are showing me. I don't know if that Quintessa glitch did something to me or if I really did fight alongside that knight and I don't remember. I don't know. And if I did, why hasn't my father told me anything about this? I'm so confused." I began while tears began to form in my eyes.

"I really miss him, Cade. I really do."

"So do I, kid. And I know it's scary, but we have to do something until he gets here. Then, we'll figure out the rest." Cade assured as I nodded and smiled. But it slowly faded and into an angered expression as I saw three green dots appear on Cade's shoulder. I knew immediately there was going to be some problems real quick.

"Bee, get Hound, yourself, Raven over here now. We've got company." I whispered into the com link before I dropped my bag to the ground, as did Cade and we raised our arms in surrender.

TRF vehicles began pulling up in front of us and soldiers began storming out of them. At least fifteen soldiers were pointing their guns at me and maybe three were pointing at Cade. A man strolled up to both of us, the glare in my eyes would have burned him alive.

"Mister Yeager. How's life been treating you?"

"Like shit, thanks for asking." Cade retorted causing me to smirk to myself. "Yeah, well you're about to be in more shit. You see, all we want to know is, where are the Autobots?"

"I don't sell out friends. Not after what they did for this planet. But you don't really care, so.."

"You're right, Mister Yeager. I don't care. I'm doing this so that people won't have to live in fear anymore. So that we can take back control of our planet and kick them out." The man said as he looked over at me.

"Maybe.. you'll tell me. You see, I know all about you, Miss Aubree. Trust me, I would suggest telling us where they are." My glare tightened before I looked over at Cade.

"If you're talking about Optimus Prime, he isn't here. He's gone." Cade spoke as the man faked a pout.

"Aw, man. That's a pity. Oh, well." The man said before he pulled out his gun and pointed it at my forehead. "I'm tired of playing games. Now, I'm not going to ask again; where are the Autobots?"

I didn't say a word. I didn't need to, because I heard a car engine approaching and I looked out the corner of my eye and saw a yellow and black car coming.

Bumblebee.

"You know, if you knew all about me, soldier," I said with a smirk as I looked up at him. "We never come here alone."
