Several years had passed and Cybertron had been restored. Ratchet remained on Earth. The memories of what had happened on Cybertron made it to painful to return.
Megatron has exiled himself to the acid wastes on Cybertron believing himself responsible for Optimus and Hope's deaths. His bondmate Starscream remained on Earth believing he was no longer wanted.
Bumblebee had been an officer with his own trainee when they high jacked a space bridge with a known trouble maker to Earth. At this moment, no one knew why or where exactly they were.
*********
It was the quiet time of the evening in the park where Hope's dragon statue still stood. Across the pond, a statue of Optimus faced her direction. On a good day, it was said the statues gazes would meet. Metal flowers whirled in the night breeze, the sound of bots silenced in the dark.
Hope's statue had a glow in the twin moon's light but strangely the glow began to intensify. Small cracks formed in the dragon's scales and the glow continued to spread along its form. With a crack, the wings crumbled and a pair of silver wings took their place. A figure gracefully pulled itself up and faced the new city in wonder.
She was a smooth plated femme with silver and gold pinstriping along her form. As her optic's gazed around the court yard, they came to rest on Optimus's statue.
Her emblem of a sun and stars glowed as she walked across the water to it. A single tear ran down her face plate as she studied it.
For a brief second she stood there as if receiving a message, her optics lit with a strange light. With a sweep of her wings, she lifted into the air and the femme known as Hope headed towards the acid wastes, her new mission at hand.
