"Prime, do you read me?" Agent Fowler said over the comlink. He sounded mad like usual. "I'm sorry agent Fowler, Optimus isn't here right now." Rachet said. Optimus had gone out but no one knew where he went. "Then that will be my confirmation that he's currently trying to run me off the road!" Agent Fowler said. "what! That's ridiculous!" Skywalker said. "Tell that to my burning treads!" Agent Fowler said. Everyone except for rachet and Orion went to help agent Fowler. Luckily, they saved him, but "Optimus" got away. Arcee went after him after saying primes don't run. Skywalker went with her in the sky. She saw Arcee get hit by the Optimus lookalike.

"Rachet, I need a bridge!" Sky called though the comlink. They got Arcee back to base. Rachet put a light to her eyes. She started coming to. "That's it, fallow the light" rachet said. "wait what!" Arcee said. She came out and was upset. "You okay Arcee?" Jack asked. "Yeah, except for being blindsided by Optimus" Arcee said. "What!" Skywalker said. "You saw" Arcee said. "It was too dark" Skywalker said. "I'm sorry, I'm only reporting what I saw" Arcee said. Everyone began Wondering if Optimus was thinking he was a Decepticon again. " This is absurd, one check on his life signal will show he was no where near tonight's incident" rachet said as he went to the computer. "In fact, he returning right now" he said. Optimus pulled in in his vehicle mode. He transformed. The bots were on edge. Optimus noticed. "Is something wrong?" He asked. "No sir" Arcee said. "We were, um" she hesitated. "We were wondering where you where?" Skywalker said. "We haven't been able to reach you" bulkhead added. "I was outside of communication range" he said. He started reaching for something and everyone drew there guns including Skywalker. Optimus was shocked. "In a untapped energon deposit" he said holding some energon. Everyone looked at each other. "Come on, can't you tell he our guy?" Jack asked. Everyone withdrew there weapons. Skywalker ran up to him and hugged him sobbing. He stoked her head. "Where sorry Optimus" she said in tears. Optimus was very confused. "Don't blame them prime. I was attacked earlier tonight by a wheel, with a striking resemblance to you" agent Fowler said.

Optimus looked at sky. He knew she was scared of losing him again. He put his finger under her chin to have her look at him. "It's alright love, I understand" he said. He gave her a passionate kiss, something he normally didn't do in front of the other bots. Skywalker quickly kissed back and wrapped her arms around his neck. The other bots chucked. Then, they heard the phone ring. Skywalker and Optimus broke the kiss and looked at who's phone it was. "Fowler.... What! ..... That is impossible, I can tell you with absolute certainty that it isn't him" Fowler got off the phone and said "a military base is being attacked, by Optimus prime." "The truck?" Jack asked. "The bot!" Everyone was shocked. "rachet, get the coordinates from agent Fowler. Everyone, prepare to roll out" Optimus said seriously.

The bridge opened and everyone except rachet and Orion went through. As soon as they got there they say the Optimus lookalike. As soon as the lookalike saw them, he transformed and drove away. The military saw them and fired missiles at them. The bots drew there guns. Optimus stopped them. "No, get back to base. We must not inflict human casualties" Optimus said. Everyone got back to base. Soon agent Fowler got on the phone with the General. "No General Brice, Optimus prime did not attack our boys....... Because I was with prime when I got the alert of the attack......... Yes sir, he and his were on the base, but only in response to the attack....... But sir...... Yes....... I understand." He said and hung up. He sighed. "What's the damage?" Jack asked. "All military personnel are under stricked orders to destroy any and all bots on sight." Fowler said. "Are you kidding?" Jack asked. "But they're innocent!" Raf said. "Optimus was framed" Miko said.

"The military order changes nothing, we must find this imposter" Optimus said. "A thirty story transforming imposter" Fowler said. "I can't believe it. Mech, they did it" Skywalker said. "Yes, they had staracreams t-cog" Optimus said. "So they must have installed that in a version of you" Arcee said. "Filled the tank with energon" Jack said. "and say hello to nemesis prime" Miko said. "Optimus, I think with my past with Silas, I need to be apart of this" Skywalker said. "Agreed. You know more about him than anyone." Optimus said. "So, they could be anywhere?" Agent Fowler asked. "Not necessarily, while they understand much of out biology," Optimus began. "They haven't comprehended our technology. Without a ground bridge, nemesis prime would solely rely on its vehicle mode." Rachet said. "So, the base would be in driving distance of both incidences" Skywalker said. Baby Orion started crying and Skywalker went to tend to him. "Exactly. So we will do recon to find the base?" Arcee asked. "we have no choice" Optimus said.

"I really don't think it's a good idea for bots to be running recon with the military after you?" Fowler said. "We will remain in vehicle mode until absolutely necessary" Optimus said. Everyone got ready. Skywalker was going to look from the sky. "Autobots, roll out" Optimus said.

After some searching Optimus asked for statuses. "Nothing but tumbleweeds" bulkhead said. "just a while lot of empty" Arcee said. Bumblebee buzzed saying he had just found something in the middle of the desert that looked like the perfect hiding place. "Bumblebee, proceed with extreme caution. We will rendezvous at your coordinance. Skywalker, you can get there faster than any of us" Optimus said. "Roger. I'm on my way now" Skywalker said. She arrived within minutes and saw bee. She landed and they nodded at each other. "Let's spit up, remember, be cautious of anything that looks like Optimus." Skywalker said. Bee buzzed saying he had a plan. Skywalker nodded. They split up looking. "Skywalker!" A voice that sounded like Optimus said behind her. She stoped and turned to him. "Be on guard, my double could be anywhere" he said. Bee came right then. He buzzed asking if it was really him than what was he saying. "I'm sorry, what" Skywalker and bee got mad. Nemesis attacked and took down bee. "Your next Skywalker" he said in Lealands voice. "Why?" Sky asked. He stopped. "Sk... Skyler?" She nodded. He heard something and ran off. She met up with the other bots and said bee was knocked out. "Let's spit up and be careful of anything that looks like me" Optimus said. Skywalker took to the sky to look from above. She saw Arcee, and bulkhead be knocked out by nemesis. She was man. She saw Optimus fighting Nemesis. She went to fly to Optimus when she saw him being stabbed in his side. "The big difference between you and me, my body can't feel pain" Lealand said. Optimus fell. Then she saw nemesis stop attacking. Optimus stood up and punched the bot. He made it crash though the roof of the building they were standing on. Fowler was lucky he wasn't crushed. Skywalker landed next to Optimus. "Are you alright?" She asked. "in fine now." Optimus said. Helicopters came there way. "That our boys. You get back to base, I'll handle Uncle Sam" Fowler said. Optimus smiled and all the bots went back to base. When they got there Rachet patched up Optimus. "I wonder if mech will be the same without their leader" Optimus wonderd out loud. "Well here's a kicker. We went thought the wreckage with a fine tooth cone, there was no sign of Silas." Fowler said over the comlink.

A few days later Optimus and Skywalker went with agent Fowler to talk to general Brice. Skywalker was listening to the conversation and found Fowler was telling general Brice about everything. Brice kept saying Optimus was either gone or no longer an Autobot. Finally Fowler asked for an assistant. "What is it agent Fowler, have you uncovered mech agents?" He asked. "no, they're okay. General Brice just needs to confirm your health and well-being" Fowler said. "I am fine general Brice. How are you?" Optimus asked. Skywalker went next to him. "I'm well solders." He looked at the camera. "Bill, I think I have everything I need to prove that Optimus prime is alive and well and firmly on our side" he said. Fowler saluted him and was dismissed. Skywalker and Optimus went back to base, wondering what was next.
