(Place: Paix- The Manor, historical home of the Ky's)
Kynight sat down at her father's desk and stared out the window. It was so quieta nd peaceful, Kynight felt like the world would surely stop.
"It's not that bad, is it granddaughter?" Primus said as he entered the den. Kynight smiled softly and shook her head no.
"'Night, really you must stop this! Paix need you and so do I! My gifts are across the dimensional grid because of Unicron and some of them are dangerous! Just think of my children!" Primus said as he sat down, watching Kynight as he did so.
"Grandfather, I understand that and will return all of those dangerous items to you...but I have Kylord to worry about, along with Paix's everyday running and then there's Unicron meddling around Paix! I'm tired and lonely, I need something for myself for once." Kynight said as she put her elbows on the desk.
"Well, if you want a companion, I'm available..." Primus smiled with mischief in his optics.
"Granfather! Or should I call you father/husband! I refuse such a relationship! I can't believe you, we've talked about this before and the answer is still no!" Kynight yelled as she stood up and hit the palms of her hands on the desk. Primus frowned, but nodded his head yes.
"Steel has been promised to Rust-Up, they are planning their union. Sin's little one said his first word yesterday..." Kynights voice trailed off as she sat back down and leaned back into her chair.
"Yes, Ive been watching...Kynight, my daughter, go get him, if you want him that badly. You need support, someone you can count on, to curl up next to at the day's end...go, it's time for you to have some happiness. Bring him home to Paix." Primus whispered as he stood up and started to fade from sight.
"Thank you, grandfather...I love you..." Kynight whispered back as Primus totally disappeared to nothingness. Kynight brought her right hand to her chin as a silent message went out.

(Place: Earth, a routine patrol outside of the Ark.)
Raggletag laughed as Spike and Carly ducked behind Hound. Bumblebee's cries became louder as he came looking for them. Hound, Raggletag, Huffer, and Brawn burst out laughing once they saw Bumblebee covered in white foam.
"Hey! Come on guys, enough's enough!" Bumblebee said as he wiped some of the foam off. "Ah, little buddy..." Brawns voice trailed off as he saw movement out of the corner of his optic.
Pulling his weapon out, Brawn yelled, "Show yourself or I'll blow you way!" Everyone quickly turned in that direction expecting a Decepticon to emerge. Raggletag being off to the side suddenly felt a light touch that brought a surge to his system.
"'Night..." Raggletag gasped as he turned to find Kynight right behind him. Everyone whipped around to see Kynight standing beside Raggletag. "Who's that?" Carly asked as the Autobots put away their weapons.
"Trouble, with a capital T." Huffer muttered. Raggletag and Kynight continued to look at each other and ignored their surroundings.
"If you are almost done here, may I return to base with you?" Kynight asked as Raggletag came out of his trance. Turning, Raggletag saw Hound nod his head yes, smiling softly as he did so.
"Well, let's get back then." Brawn said as he motioned his head towards the Ark.
Kynight paused as she caught sight of Carly, "Hello, my name is Kynight, I don't believe we know each other?"
Carly smiled and extended her hand, "Hello, Im Carly." Kynight smiled back and placed her finger on Carly's hand and shook it.
"Alright already, let's get going." Brawn announced as he started his transformation. The other Autobots followed suit as Spike and Carly got into Bumblebee.
"Spike, what's going on? Things got so serious..." Carly said as Bumblebee started to move. Huffer pulled up next to Bumblebee, then Raggletag and Kynight came next, with Brawn and Hound taking up the rear.
Spike turned to Carly, "Kynight isn't from Cybertron, she's from a planet called Paix, which is more advanced then Cybertron...Last time she was here... Well, one time she was here, Megatron kidnapped her and pretty much caused a lot of trouble. Then we get to Raggletag and her. Before Kynight, a real fun machine. After her, a depressed machine. They fell in love and things were rough for awhile...and now she's back with who knows what with her."
Carly whilstled as a radio messege came in, "HELP! Decepticons attacking the Solar Power Plant! Someone! Anyone! Can you hear..." The message ended abruptly.
"Let's go Autobots!" Hound said as he made a sharp turn towards the plant.
"Autobots! This is Optimus Prime, do you read me?" Optimus radioed to the group.
"Yeah, Prime, this is Bumblebee, we're on our way to the Solar plant now." Bumblebee radioed back.
"Good, we'll meet you there! Prime out!" came Optimus' response.
* * *
"Quickly, fill the energon cubes! The Autobots will be here soon!" Megatron ordered as his warriors moved about the plant.
"Too late, Megatron!" Starscream shouted as he spotted the Autobots coming at them.
"Decepticons- Attack!" Megatron yelled as he let loose a blast from his fusion cannon.
"Autobots, transform and defend yourselves!" Optimus Prime yelled as he took cover.
* * *
"Hey! The party started without us! Let's go guys!" Brawn yelled as he took off into the heart of the battle.
"Time to get our hands dirty, right Huffer?" Hound laughed as Huffer moaned and they joined the battle.
"Spike, Carly, you better stay here." Bumblebee said as he looked up at Raggletag and Kynight.
"I will remain with them, don't worry, go on and join the battle." Kynight said as she nodded towards the battle. Raggletag returned her nod and left with Bumblebee.
"Things sure look hot in there." Carly said as a blast came close to them. Kynight transformed and placed herself between the battle and them.
"Perhaps it would be safter inside," Kynight said as she opened her door to Spike and Carly. Spike nodded and gave a thumbs up sign. Sitting down, Kynight suddenly jerked Carly and Spike forward as she moved out of the way of an incoming blast.
"This is not going well, let us move elsewhere." Kynight said as she pulled back from the scene.
* * *
(Megatron, who had been fighting Optimus Prime, suddenly took notice of Kynight's presence.)
Megatron stopped at the sight of Kynight's retreat. Optimus used Megatron's pause and nailed him in the chin, causing him to fly backwards. Megatron moved with his fall and headed in Kynight's direction.
"We have trouble, I fear. Megatron has finally caught sight of me and is following." Kynight said to her passengers.
"Oh great! What do we do? Spike quickly asked. "We get out of here and go for a flight...then maybe you'd like a tour of my spaceship." Kynight suggested as Megatron blasted her escape route to pieces.
"Sounds good to me!" Carly yelled as Kynight was rocked by the blast.
"So you have returned, my dear, I'm so happy to see you again." Megatron said as he advance towards Kynight.
"No!" Optimus gasped as he finally saw Kynight. "Not that female again!" Starscream screamed. Autobots and Decepticons alike turned to see what was going on.
"Kynight!" Raggletag yelled in distress as Megatron took another step towards Kynight. Megatron began to laugh when a burst of light suddenly silenced him. Instead of a car, a dark green jet with gold trim now sat in Kynight's place and was taking off.
"Wow!" Spike whispered as Carly gasped at the change.
"Hold on, my friends!" Kynight laughed as she hit her afterburners and took off into the air. Everyone stopped and watched as Kynight disappeared from view.
"What the..." Megatron's voice trailed off as he quickly turned, "Return to base!" The Decepticons quickly grabbed their energon and made their escape. Continuing to fire on the Decepticons, the Autobots watched
until they disappeared in the opposite direction as Kynight.
"Raggletag!" Optimus screamed as he tured towards him. Raggletag was still facing the direction that Kynight had disappeared into. Ratchet was beside him as he quickly turned towards Optimus.
"He's in shock, and has been since she took off with Spike and Carly." Ratchet reported as he turned to Raggletag. Optimus sighed as he bought his hand to his forehead. His memeory circuit pulsed as never before.
"Alright, let's clean up and return to base." Optimus ordered as he waved his hand to Ratchet, who was getting Raggletag to transform into his car mode.
* * *
"This is cool!" Carly announced as she and Spike got out of Kynight's cockpit.
"Thank you, Carly. I'm happy you like my ship." Kynight responded as she transformed into a robot, and in a flash, into her Autobot identity.
"How'd you do that?" Spike asked wide eyed.
"Yes, that's something I've never seen any of the Autobots do!" Carly said, she liked Kynight and bgan to feel a bond with her.
"It's called a transformation chip and it allows me to choose....well, you see I'm a half-breed, part Autobot and Decepticon, adn the chip allows me to access each side of my...heritage." Kynight responded warmly. She liked Carly, and it was nice to have another female around.
"A what chip? Youre a half-breed, I never knew that there was such a thing?" Spike asked as he looked arount the ship.
"Yes, of course there is. Half-breeds combine certain Decepticon and Autobot traits into one being. I'm sure there is a human equivalent." Kynight responded as she started to move across the runway towards a door.
"This ship is nothing like the Ark. It's quite unique in it's design." Carly said as she followed Kynight towards the door. Kynight smiled as she paused near the open door, "Well, the ship's equipped with a dimensional warp drive which is not common technology. Let's go to the bridge and get back to the Ark. The guys are probably worried."
"Okay." Carly responded as she walked through the opened door with Spike right behind her. Kynight chuckled as the door closed behind her.

Optimus stared into Teletran's monitor as Sparkplug paced along side him. Chip sighed as he punched information into Teletran hoping for an answer. "No data found." Teletran responded.
"This is ridiculous! Why can't we find them?" Sparkplug exploded.
"Easy, Sparkplug, we'll find them." Optimus said as the Autobots moved around nervously as Sparkplug leaned his head against Teletran.
"No you won't, not if she doesn't want to be found that is." Raggletag said as he entered the room with Ratchet.
"What do you mean?!" Sparkplug screamed as he moved towards Raggletag. Optimus quickly put his hand down and stopped Sparkplug.
"When Kynight is ready, she'll bring Spike and Carly back, but until then, you're wasting energy." Raggletag stated with a quiet confidence that wasn't there before.
"Raggletag, do you know where Kynight is?" Optimus asked as he moved towards Raggletag.
"Not really, but I feel she is safe. Maybe she's on her ship," Raggletag said as he tried to feel out Kynight's presence.
* * *
�I love this!� Carly yelled as she continued on her way through Kynight�s ship.
�Carly, I think that we should be getting back to the Ark.� Spike said as he watched Carly�s carefree movements. Kynight smiled as she watched the two humans, but Spike was right they needed to get back.
�Okay, my friends, we must go, I fear we have caused enough worry.� Kynight said as she sat down in her chair, as Spike and Carly came towards her.
�Computer, plug in.� Kynight ordered the ship. Once again a pod came down from the ceiling and accessed Kynight�s core.
�Wow!� Spike and Carly whispered as the ship�s engines came on-line.
�The Ark.� Kynight said as she nodded to the main view screen.
* * *
�Raggletag!� Optimus yelled as Raggletag came out of his trance.
�Yes?� Raggletag asked slightly disrupted.
�Do you have any idea where Spike and Carly are?� Optimus said as he controlled his reactions.
�I have a feeling that when she wants to be found she�ll show up.� Raggletag said in a cocky manner. The room was quiet with surprised, Raggletag never talked back and yet he just did with an attitude. Optimus remained still as Raggletag turned about and left the room.
�I don�t believe this, first that female returns, changes into a Decepticon jet, takes Carly and Spike to who knows where, and now Raggletag copping an attitude!� Ironhide yelled as he moved in Raggletag�s direction.
* * *
�Look, the Ark!� Spike exclaimed as the main viewer showed the Ark.
�Kynight, why aren�t the Autobots coming out to greet us?� Carly asked as the ship began to land.
�Because Teletran doesn�t have the technology to detect my ship, but Raggletag will be waiting for us.� Kynight said with soft knowing smile.
Spike looked while Carly smiled as she nodded in understanding.
* * *
Raggletag walked out of the Ark as Kynight�s ship landed nearby. Raggletag smiled as he walked towards the ship and it�s back-end opened, displaying Spike, Carly, and Kynight.
�Raggletag!� Kynight exclaimed as she moved around the humans and ran towards Raggletag. Raggletag quickly moved towards Kynight and the two of them embraced, kissing as they did so.
Carly sighed as Spike blushed. Ironhide, who had followed Raggletag to reprimand him, stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Kynight�s ship. Turning around, Ironhide ran back to Optimus.
�Optimus!� Ironhide yelled as he ran up to him.
�What is it, Ironhide?� Optimus asked as he whipped around to face Ironhide.
�That fembot is here, her ship just landed!� Ironhide explained as he came to a stop.
�Here? Now? Autobots-Outside!� Optimus Prime ordered as he began to move himself. The Autobots quickly followed their leader out of the Ark to find Optimus standing still in shock.
�Hey, Optimus!� Spike called in relief as he saw the Autobots emerge from the Ark.
�What the....� Wheeljack muttered as he saw what made Optimus stop at the Ark�s entrance.
�Raggletag.......� Optimus whispered.
�Spike! Carly!� Sparkplug cried as he ran to them and embraced them.
�RAGGLETAG!!� Optimus yelled as he moved towards Kynight and Raggletag. Kynight broke the embrace and at the same time, grabbed Raggletag�s blaster and pointed it at Optimus.
�Back-off!� Kynight screamed to Optimus� surprise, as well as the rest of he Autobots and humans.
�Night, what are you doing??� Raggletag asked loudly in a surprised voice.
Kynight chuckled as she winked one optic as Raggletag, saying, �I�m kidnapping you, darling.�
Raggletag got a wicked smile on his face plate as Optimus back up a step.
�I can�t keep him here when he has a chance for a better life with someone who cares for him.� Optimus thought to himself as Ironhide brought his weapon up pointing it at Kynight.
�I�m backing off, Kynight, don�t hurt Raggletag.� Optimus said as he and Kynight locked optics in perfect understanding.
�Optimus, what are you talking about?� Ironhide asked in surprised as he turned to his leader with a startle expression.
�Yeah, Optimus, we can take her!� Brawn said as he placed his weight on his other leg.
�No, we don�t want anyone to get hurt.� Optimus said as Kynight nodded her head in agreement.
�But Optimus....� Bumblebee began as Raggletag cut him off, �Thanks, Optimus.�
Optimus nodded as Raggletag took Kynight�s hand and pulled her towards her ship.
�Thanks, Optimus Prime....� Kynight whispered as she lowered Raggletag�s weapon and turned, running into her ship with Raggletag right beside her.
�Optimus, give the word and I�ll blast her.� Ironhide said as he aimed his weapon at Kynight�s retreating back. Optimus quickly pushed Ironhide�s weapon down towards the ground saying, �No, Raggletag�s gone by his own free will. He�s found happiness, we should be happy for him.�
The others glanced about as Kynight�s ship began to take off for the unknown.
* * *
Raggletag watched as Kynight set the Auto-pilot.
�What am I doing here?� Raggletag asked Kynight as she got up from setting the Auto-pilot. Kynight blinked as she stood up, then slowly walked up to Raggletag.
�This is what your doing here.� Kynight said as she bought her fact plate up to Raggletag and kissed him.
Ending the kiss, Raggletag smiled, �Yeah, that�s why I�m here.�
The Auto-pilot reports, �Stationary orbit around Paix, orders please......�
�Orders please.......�
�Remain in orbit, until your Mistress tells you otherwise, computer.� Primus whispered as he chuckled to himself, his plan was going well, he thought to himself as he disappeared into nothingness.
�Stationary orbit, confirmed.� The Auto-pilot said as it parked itself in Paix�s space.
