Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: Another day in a new town and the strange new spark

The sound of the engine of a blue and red highlighted 07 ZX motorcycle can be heard as its rider was driving on a moderate half speed to their destination. The figure looked up as one of her eyes glowed a dim blue. She was really hoping that she would finally get some peace and quiet from the life of the city.

She gave a small glance to her arm sleeves and had to stop a small spark of pain from becoming slightly known in her optic-eye. She really had to stop harming herself. She's in too deep of her depression but her father told her that maybe she should go to a town called Jasper Nevada to get away from the city. She tried to deny the offer but he insisted and wanted the best for her. She really couldn't say no to her father and told him to wish her luck.

So here she was driving her zx to Jasper which was located somewhere in Nevada. She arrived at the place after a few more minutes and went to the gas station to refuel. She took off her helmet to reveal her starlight light blue front bangs and her pale blonde locks. She chose a random number on the gasoline dispenser and started to refuel her motorcycle.

She then glanced around her new home and took notice that the place looks nice enough for a drive around. The sound of a car honking and the sound of a wolf whistle irk her deeply as she glanced with an annoyed light in her optic-eye to see a teenage boy with ginger orange hair and was eyeing her up and down.

"Hey, babe! Want to have some fun on my ride?" He suggested but she knows the meaning of it so she just chose to ignore him.

She just scoffed and paid for the gasoline before getting on her motorcycle before turning the engine on and drove off. She could clearly hear the teen following her before she was stopped by the red light. She stopped and waited patiently for the light to turn green before her body tensed as she noticed the ginger orange hair colored male was beside her bike. She also saw that a raven haired teen was beside her on her left on a blue, black and pink highlighted ZX motorcycle.

"Hey, what's the rush, sweetheart?" The ginger orange haired teen asked and he sounded desperate which was getting on her nerves.

She growled behind her helmet as she gripped the gas knob tightly in annoyance.

"Vince, leave her alone will ya? She looks ready to knock the lights out of you." The raven haired teen warned the ginger colored teen who gave the newcomer an annoyed look.

The now identified Vince gave the raven haired teen a sneer before the light turned green and he drove off. She sighed softly in relief and gave the teen a nod of thanks before igniting the engine of her motorcycle and drove off in another direction as it left the boy and the motorcycle to go somewhere.

The teen rode the desert before heading to a mountain which opened up as it was revealed to be a base as the boy headed in on his motorcycle. They stopped as he got off as the motorcycle transformed into a female robot.

"Hey, Jack!" Someone called his name from above.

The female voice was heard and Jack smiled seeing two of his friends with their robot pals, Miko, Bulkhead, Rafael and Bumblebee. Arcee then went to where Ratchet is to discuss something with him as Jack went to where his friends are.

"Hey, guys. What's got Ratchet all riled up?" Jack couldn't help but ask curiously.

Bumblebee made a series of bleeps and bloops as Raf became confused as he translated for them.

"Bumblebee said that Ratchet picked up on a faint signature from an Autobot. Though, the confusing part is that it also has a human signature mix in it." Raf translated as Bumblebee nodded in agreement.

Jack then became confused and surprised as he thought back to the girl on the motorcycle. Something about her was strange and it made Arcee a little concerned as she told him that she felt a faint Spark from the girl. He was even confused how the other eye looked completely like the Autobots.

"Ratchet, what could this mean? That a human and Autobot are where Jack lives and? That's impossible." Arcee stated in disbelief and confusion.

"If only, Arcee. But the signal I pinpointed is somewhere on Jasper and is driving around 45.0 mph speed." The medic bot answered with uncertainty.

"The same speed Arcee drives? That's weird." The raven haired teen asks in confusion.

The sound of footsteps was heard and felt and they looked up and saw Optimus Prime walking back inside the base after a drive.

"Optimus, there's something we need to discuss privately." Ratchet told their leader with urgency.

Optimus was confused as he tilted his head slightly. He actually came back to ask Ratchet for a scan since his Spark has been acting weird for the past few minutes and wasn't sure what it means.

He and Ratchet went to med bay and discussed something quietly as Ratchet did a scan and was fairly surprised at how bright the Spark of Optimus is. Just how? The only way that a Cybertronian Spark could be this bright is if they are near or if something like the Allspark was in the same place as they are. Could that mean...?

"Optimus, you don't think that a faint Allspark is somewhere here, do you?" Ratchet couldn't help but ask uneasily, knowing that an Allspark will lead into war.

"The Allspark? That is impossible. Only the Primes can wield an Allspark let alone have one. But I don't understand how." The blue and red Autobot leader was a little confused and uncertain on what to make of what was happening.

Ratchet was concerned and worried as he saw the look of confusion and worry in the optics of their leader.

"Optimus, I should suggest a patrol around to see if we can find the signature. That way, we can extract it from whatever it is embedded in." Ratchet suggested since they need to take precautions.

Optimus sighed and knew that Ratchet was right. If they ever need to find that signal, they need to do it soon before Megatron gets his hands on it.

"Send out Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Arcee for the patrol. We may indeed be in the near presence of the Allspark." Optimus ordered as he stood back up.

"I'll be sure to make sure they find it before the Decepticons do."

Optimus and Ratchet came back and explained to them what they have to do. The kids wanted to help even though Ratchet tried to tell them it was too dangerous but Jack assured Ratchet that they were gonna be alright and that they would be careful. Optimus knew there was no stopping the trio of humans and told them to be careful and keep all senses sharp as they then dispersed for today with the Autobot trio going with their human companions to their home.

Optimus watched them go with a worried look deep in his optics before looking at the screen and computers as the signature was on the move and hoped that they would find it before the Decepticons did. Unaware that the Decepticons picked up on the signature as well and was preparing for tomorrow to find and capture it.

Looks like it's a race against time for the signature.

Where is the signature coming from? Will the Autobots get to it first or will the Decepticons beat them to it? And just who exactly is the girl with the optic-eye?
