Far away, in one of the corners of the galaxy, near one of the space bridges, the Autobots were struggling to fight against the Decepticons. One of the bots was shot back, his leg bending in the wrong way. 

"I'm hit! Medic!", a bot called out. Soon, a young nurse bot arrives at his side. 

"Hang in there, Soldier! The damage is to the server. I'm going to have to amputate.", the nurse bot said. "What?!", the bot protested. 

"Don't worry! Cybertron service will issue a replacement leg within 6 to 8 solar cycles.", the nurse bot reassured them. "I don't know. Couldn't I get a second opinion?", the bot asked. 

Before the nurse could respond, she was wrapped in some sort of tickles and swallowed by a froglike Decepticon. Then, it spat out at the rest of the team, causing a small explosion to take place. 

Rodimus stood on top of the space bridge. "Rodimus to Elite Guard command! We are under attack! Repeat! Requesting backup! We are under attack!", Rodimus yelled out. 

He then went to shoot some of the Decepticons when Galvatron flew behind him. "While you are on the line, give the princess my hello.~", Galvatron mocked. 

"Stay cool, Rodimus. And try to hold on a little bit longer.", Jazz said through the comm. "The Elite Guard forces are strained to maximum enough as it is.", Ultra Magnus continued. 

"Sir, I don't know how much longer we can hold them off from the space bridge.", Rodimus panicked. "Sir, the Decepticons are going after every space bridge on the periphery.", Jazz warned. 

"We can't let any of them transwarp to Cybertron.", Ultra Magnus said. Then, Longarm came onto the screen. 

"I can assure you, Commander. That the Cybertron space bridge nexus is fully guarded. We'll be ready for anything that comes through.", Longarm told him. Then, he ended the communication and transformed into Shockwave. 

"Count on it.", Shockwave continued. "Iron Hide! Brawn! Transform and fall back! We need to protect the space bridge!", Rodimus ordered, as he started shooting his arrows at the Decepticons. 

Before they could fall back, one of the Decepticons let out an oil leak, causing them both to slip and slide. Then, Cyclonus brought out his swords and hit the ground before them, causing them to fall off their path. 

Rodimus then looked behind him to find the frog Decepticon. But, he fought against his technicals, pinning them to the floor. 

Then, a rather large Decepticon landed, causing a major wave. This led Rodimus to fly back and to shut off the ground bridge. 

"Blackout, you fool! We need the space bridge operational!", one Decepticon instructed. "Oh, sorry...", Blackout said, as he hit his foot again and the bridge turned back on. 

"Cyclonus! Oil Slick! Help free Spitter and secure the perimeter!", the Decepticon ordered. Rodimus then stood up. 

"You'll have to get past me first! Decepti-creeps!", Rodimus said, while aiming his arrows at them. "You say that like it's a difficult thing, Autobot.", Oil Slick said, as he threw a canister at Rodimus. 

"Cosmic rust...", Rodimus whispered, before he fell over. The Decepticon, who had been giving the orders, then moved over to the space bridge. 

"Sticker, to Shockwave. Team Shark has taken over Space Bridge 687030. Requesting access codes so we may transwarp to Cybertron.", Sticker reported. "We are under strict orders from Megatron. No one is to make a move until he and his team arrive.", Shockwave reminded. 

"But, he was supposed to be there Megacycles ago.", Sticker complained. Elsewhere... 

"Starscream, you incompetent malfunction! Your utter failure has to reach astronomical proportions!", Megatron criticized, as Starscream tried using a rock to cut the cuffs holding Megatron and spitting it out. "Maybe I would have better luck removing these status cuffs if you had bothered to reattach my head to my body! And maybe we wouldn't be floating here helplessly if you hadn't overloaded the space bridge! Are you sensing a pattern here? THIS! IS! ALL! YOUR! FAULT!", Starscream yelled out, as his face turned into a gun and he shot at Megatron's cuffs. 

"Oh, where did that come from?", Starscream questioned. "Free at last!", Megatron said, but before he could celebrate, something appeared behind them. 

"Omega Supreme, we're slagged. Wait! Don't shoot! He's the one you want!", Starscream yelled out. "Silence fool!", Megatron growled. 

He then flew up to Omega's face. "He's offline. This could be useful. Very useful.", Megatron continued.

In Detroit... "Okay! I'm waiting...", Sari said, wanting an explanation. 

"Well... I... Um... Yes... Well...", Professor Sumdac stuttered. "Still waiting.", Sari continued. 

"It's... Complicated.", Professor Sumdac said. "Hey, Sari! Guess what? You're a robot. How complicated is that?! You know why there is no record of your birth? Because you weren't born! You were built!", Sari told him. 

She then turned away from her father. "You're right. I should have told you long ago. But, the truth is... I don't know where you came from. You see, many years ago, I saw a very strange flash of light coming from my laboratory. I had never seen anything like it. A little body like liquid metal. I touched it and got quite the shock when I came to. You were just there and then a message started playing. I remember exactly what it said... 'Please... Take care of her for me.'", Professor Sumdac finished explaining his story. 

"Oh, please! Why don't you just say you found me in a cabbage patch or the stork brought me?", Sari said, not buying a word of his story. Optimus chose this time to speak up from his radio. 

"I concur, Professor. Your story is not consistent with what Sari told me where small organics... Um... Come from.", Optimus said. "Don't even bother, Prime! Why should he tell me the truth now after lying to me my entire life?", Sari snapped. 

The professor then looked down ashamed. Bulkhead then spoke through the comm. 

"Hey, Boss bot? She woke up.", Bulkhead said. "Keep her contain, until I get there.", Optimus ordered. 

Sari then remembered what Serenity had told her. That she had to help Serenity fight Sadira. 

What did she mean by that? Did she know she was a robot? 

Great! Now she had two liars! 

Soon, they were at Sumdac Tower. Without a word, Sari marched up to the elevator. 

The professor was trailing behind her. "Sari, please listen to me!", Professor Sumdac begged. 

"Not talking to you.", Sari said, as she crossed her arms. "But, I-", Professor Sumdac started. 

"Up! Up! Up!", Sari ordered. "I just-", Professor Sumdac tried to said. 

Sari then covered her ears. "Lalala! Not listening to you either!", Sari yelled out. 

She and the professor then walked into his trashed lab. "What has happened to my laboratory?! Powel? Masterson? What are you doing here?!", Professor Sumdac asked angrily. 

"Oh, don't you know? They're running the place. Something I... Forgot... To mention.", Sari said, putting emphasis on forgot. 

"Sumdac, I'm so relive you alive! W-We feared the worst.", Powel lied. "Totally bogus! You got big brass coming back here after your Autobot pal clicked my Headmaster unit!", Masterson sassed. 

"What? No way! The Decepticons stole it!", Sari defended. "Autobots... Decepticons... They are all the same.", Powel said, unaware of the seething Optimus Prime rolling up on the elevator behind them. 

"So, you better warned your freak bot alien buddies. That if they don't pony up with the stolen merchandise, heads will roll. And we all know who's heads I'm talking about.", Masterson added. Optimus had enough, as he picked up Masterson by the collar of his jacket. 

"No Masterson! Why don't you tell me... Who's head's will role?", Optimus growled. Masterson and Powell both backed down, as they exited the lad. 

"Mr. Powel, Mr. Masterson, your services are no longer required at Sumdac Systems.", Professor Sumdac said, as they headed for the elevator. "Maybe we don't feel like taking orders from some old dud and his daughter!", Masterson said. 

"If she even is his little daughter.", Powel added. This caused Sari to snap. 

Her eyes started glowing, as her hands lit up and she shot at Powel and Masterson, sending them into the elevator. Sari then looked in fear at her hand. 

"Sari, I promise to do everything in my power to find out what is happening to you.", Professor Sumdac claimed. "No! You've done enough damage! From now on, I'm sticking with my fellow machines.", Sari said, as she ran over to Optimus, who picked her up, as they left. 

"Sari, wait!", Professor Sumdac called out after her. "Maybe she just needs some time to cool off. We'll keep her safe.", Optimus assured, as they left, leaving a distraught professor. 

"Thanks for letting me stay here with you guys... Again. I just can't be with my fath- with Sumdac. I don't know what I am. But, I refuse to be anyone's lab rat!", Sari said. "It's possible he did find a metal liquid body in his lab. Maybe.", Optimus tried to defend. 

"Did you say... Liquid metal body?", Prowl asked. Not waiting for an answer, he transformed and hurried off, causing Bulkhead and Bumblebee to get caught in his dust. 

"This is useless! We can't contact Cybertron without Telitrain 1 and don't have Telitrain 1 because we don't have a ship!", Bumblebee said, flustered. "We didn't just lose a ship, we lost a friend.", Ratchet said, sinking into his past. 

Ratchet was lead through the halls of the castle by Ultra Magnus, who was just ahead of him. "Did the Intel bot give you any information about the access codes she was carrying or where the princess and queen were?", Ultra Magnus asked. 

"She had a name, Sir. Acree.", Ratchet pointed out. "Yes... I'm aware of that. But, this is extremely important. Anything you can do to jog her memory will be crucial to our efforts.", Ultra Magnus continued. 

"With all due respect, Commander. I could talk to her, till I'm blue in the face. Well, bluer in the face. But, it won't do any good.", Ratchet explained. "I wasn't suggesting you talk.", Ultra Magnus told him. 

He then opened the door to reveal Arcee with a bunch of wires hooked to her head. Ratchet was then pulled out of his thoughts by Bumblebee. 

"Hello?! I'm talking here! Have you heard a word I'm saying!? We got to warn the big brass bots back on Cybertron that there's a Decepticon spy in their mists!", Bumblebee said. "Maybe we should help Bulkhead try and repair Megaton's space bridge? Apparently, he's quite the space bridge genius.", Optimus suggested. 

"Bulkhead and genius in the same sentence? I'll never get used to that.", Bumblebee said. "I might be able to piece something together if we salvage enough parts from the mines.", Bulkhead said, tapping his chin. 

Harvester then ran to the door. "Come on! Let's go then.", Bumblebee said. 

He then started pushing Bulkhead. "Yeah! What are we waiting for genius?", Bumblebee added. 

Ratchet then pushed a button the computer bring up all the information on Sari. "Well, this doesn't make any sense. But Sari is basically organic, but her circuitry appears to be Cybertronian.", Ratchet explained. 

"You mean my dad put Megatron parts in me?! Ew!", Sari exclaimed. Then, they all heard a slamming noise. 

Optimus went over to the monitors to see Sadria was kicking the door trying to get out. He gave a sigh of defeat and sat down. 

Ratchet and Sari looked at him. "Are you okay, Prime?", Ratchet asked. 

Optimus looked at the town and lowered his head. "I don't know what to do. I can't make her go back to being Serenity like I did before.", Optimus replied. 

Ratchet placed a hand on his shoulder. "We'll find a way.", Ratchet said. 

He then looked at Sari. "Or maybe she will.", Ratchet continued. 

In another quadrant of space... "Oh no! I can feel this glue seeping into circuitry!", Ego Starscream complained. 

"This.is.just.a.theory.mind.you.but.if.you.consider.the.possibility.of.using.concentrated.sonic.pulses.at.alternating influences to weaken.and.dissolve. the.glue.that's.binding.us.rather.than.complaining.about.it.which.accomplished.nothing.other.than.an.endless.restatement.of.the.problem.that.is.painfully.obvious.of.us.in.the. first. place!", Blurr ranted. "Huh, my superior intelligence detects the kernel of a useful idea in that endless rattle of yours.", Ego Starscream stated, as he started getting the glue off of them, which results in it exploding. 

Blurr wasted no time in taking off. The ego Starscream on his heels. 

"Agent.Blurr.to.Cybertron.command.code.red.Megatron.online.Princess.Serenity.has.been.comprises.Decepticon.evasion.emminated.is.anyone.there?Can.any.one.hear.me?Is.this.blasted.com.link.even.working?!", Blurr called out. "Puny Autobot! Do you think you can warn your bosses against the likes of me?", Ego Starscream asked. 

Blurr then saw what looked like a ramp ahead made out of rock. He was speeding up even more and head straight for it. 

"I'll.warn.them.even.if.i.have.to.run.half.across.the.galaxy.to.Cybertron.do.it!", Blurr said. Then, when the Ego Starscream got too close, Blurr hits Starscream's face. 

This sends him off to the other planets, as Blurr runs to Cybertron. Back on Earth, Masterson was at the sight of the Decepticon fight. 

"Those noobs don't know who they're messing with. No one fires the Masterman! Twice! Not without mucho serious consequences. Yes!", Masterson yelled out, as he found his Headmaster unit. "Cause now that I've found my Headmaster unit, it's going to be time for a little payback!", Masterson continued. 

He then noticed the robot body that was also buried. "Make that a whole lot of payback!", Masterson said. 

Back in space, Megatron pried open the doors to Omega Supreme. Making his way inside, he brought out his swords. 

"Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!", Omega exclaimed, as he used the robot's arms to grab Megatron and disarm him. 

Omega then scanned him. "Positive identification confirmed. Form. Decepticon. Name. Megatron. Lethal force has been authorized.", Omega stated, as he got a gun ready to end Megatron. 

"Wait! I mean you no harm.", Megatron said. "All Decepticons mean harm. State your purpose.", Omega commanded. "Why? Isn't it obvious? I'm your prisoner of course.", Megatron told him. 

"Me? Prisoner?", Omega questioned. "After all you are the all-powerful Omega Supreme. Are you not?", Megatron said. 

"Yes. I'm Omega Supreme.", Omega stated. "And as you can clearly see. I'm quite helpless.", Megatron stated. 

Outside, Starscream hits Omega's window. He then grabbed him and placed him inside. 

"So, Megatron? How is your ingenious plan working so far?", Starscream asked, sarcastically. "Ignore my diminutive college. You have clearly overpowered me, Autobot. And it is your sworn duty to transport me back to Cybertron where I can face justice for my actions. As an Autobot officer, you must locate a space bridge immediately so I may be daily tried and punished for my crimes.", Megatron stated. 

"You are correct, Megatron. Justice must be served. But locating a space bridge will not be necessary.", Omega said. He then transformed and started glowing, as Omega transported him and his prisoners. 

Back on Earth, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Harvester were at the Decepticon fight area. "So what are we looking for again?", Bumblebee asked. 

"It's called a plasma dynamic thruster.", Bulkhead reminded. "It's the thing that generates the transport field that teleports you across the galaxy.", Harvester finished. 

Both mechs looked at her. "What?", Harvester asked, confused. 

"Where did you learn that?", Bumblebee asked. Harvester then blushed. 

"I listen to Bulkhead and pick up on a few things.", Harvester said, while blushing. "Is this it?", Bumblebee asked. 

"Hello? That's retrieval beacon generator!", Bulkhead stated. "Oh...", Bumblebee said, while throwing it. 

Harvester then dives to grab it. "What are you doing!?", Harvester exclaimed. 

She then handed it to Bulkhead. "We need this! Without a retrieval beacon you just warp around the galaxy randomly. Catching whatever stray transport ray that comes your way!", Bulkhead explained, before putting it away. 

"Well, excuse me for not having space bridges on the processor 24/7! Hey, I think I found something!", Bumblebee exclaimed. "Just put it to the side. And for sparks sake, try to keep it in one piece!", Bulkhead said, not paying attention to him. 

"No problem! I got it under control.", Bumblebee said, as he picks it up and then starts to shake it. 

Which resulted in him getting transwarped. "Here let me take a look at- Hey, where did you go?", Bulkhead asked. 

Harvester then went over to where Bumblebee was standing. They both then heard something. 

"Is that you, little buddy?", Bulkhead asked. But, it was the Headmaster unit with Starscream's body. 

"Not little and definitely not your buddy!", Masterson said. He then shot Bulkhead. 

"Bulkhead!", Harvester shouted out, as she ran over to Bulkhead's side. Bulkhead then got up and hits Starscream's legs. 

This caused the Headmaster to fall over. "Not cool!", Masterson yelled out. 

Bulkhead then tried to body slam him, but he dodges and kicked him off the mountain. "No!", Harvester shouted out and she jumped on the Headmaster from behind. 

But, he reached behind him and threw her off. The Headmaster then started shooting the mountainside. 

Bulkhead moved to cover Harvester, as they were buried. At Sumdac tower, the professor was roaming the halls talking to himself. 

"It's so quiet around here without Sari.", Professor Sumdac said. He was so caught up in his thoughts, he didn't notice Prowl hiding above him. 

"Perhaps I should call her?", Professor Sumdac asked. When the professor stepped away from the computer, Prowl tried getting into it. 

"But, what can I say that will convince her to trust me again?", Professor Sumdac continued. Prowl then quickly hid again. 

"Oh, Sari... It's not like I withheld the truth out of spite. I was merely trying to protect you. Not just because of the recording, but because that's what fathers do. Protect their daughters. And now I'm talking to myself. Luckily, no one is here to witness such foolishness.", Professor Sumdac stated. Prowl then scanned the professor. 

"Interesting...", Prowl whispered. "You really should at least try to talk to your father.", Optimus tried to reason with Sari. 

"He's not my father! He's my assembler!", Sari said. "Sari, I don't pretend to fully understand humans. But from what I've seen... Being a father is far more than a simple organic bond. It's much more to do with the spark. With the heart.", Optimus told her. 

As Optimus said this, he was once again reminded of Serenity. He thought back to the ring he was going to give her. 

And hopefully someday, a sparkling of their own. He was drawn out of his thoughts by Sari. 

"Oh man! What if he didn't give me a heart?", Sari said. "You really ought to let me do an exploratory probe on your circuits.", Ratchet recommended. 

Sari then threw him off. "Back off! No way am I letting you slice me open! I mean... I'm sure you were a great medic bot. In your time... Way back when.", Sari stated. 

Ratchet once again was forced back into his thoughts. "It's alright, field tech. she can't feel a thing.", Ultra Magnus said, as he tries to
