Epilogue

"I know that Starscream just came back and all, the stories from the other universe were hilarious as well; Ninja bot Prowl! Jazz you would expect, but Prowl? But have you noticed that since he came back he's been kinda quiet? Like more quiet then he was before he was you know, warped to another dimension. Thundercracker and Skywarp have been following him everywhere as well, haven't even gone back to their positions, all the flight time they have clocked as well, it's like they don't even live on the ground anymore-"

"You gotta give them time Bluestreak, Starscream was off at another universe and had to work with another Autobot team, he has to get use to being back here," cut off Hound sipping at his energon while Mirage nodded in agreement, "you know how close those three are, seekers are practically like bonded mates, being back together again after a while will leave them clingy."

"I guess I'm worrying about nothing, but I kinda hoped that with Starscream back things will go back to the way things were, it's still really quiet around here," muttered Bluestreak watching as other bots just drank their energon muttering quietly to each other, even the twins were just quietly watching television. "I mean Starscream always been the dramatic seeker, Skywarp's always has a prank planed and Thundercracker has yet to even talk to the Dinobots and the Aerial team. But now they just walk around base to collect their share of energon before they just go off flying again, they didn't even take any pot shots at the cassetticons when they saw them-"

"Bluestreak, the seekers need time to recover, we can't just expect them to forget that they were close to losing each other forever because of one accident," Mirage knew that he couldn't if he lost Hound, "but the seekers usually recover from things quickly and quite well. Starscream is too logical to not finally break this pattern and soon will be performing his experiments while the others will return to their posts."

"Bluestreak does have a point though, it's just been so quiet here for a while now, I think even Prowl's getting agitated about all the peace." Hound nodded to a police bot that was looking calm but the furious scribbling on the data pad showed differently, "Even the bots around here notice it, no one's even fighting with one another, what we need is some big bang to bring this place-"

"GET BACK HERE! I'M GOING MAKE YOU WISH PRIMUS NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR DESIGN!" Bots in the rec room, jumped at the screeching voice before ducking out of the way as Wheeljack jumped into the room and started table hopping to get away from the furious chasing tri colored seeker, "I AM GOING TO SHOVE THAT WARP BOX UP YOUR AFT AND YOUR GOING TO BE SPITTING OUT PARTS FOR A STELLAR CYCLE!"

"SAVE ME!" Shouted the inventor sliding through Ironhide's peds and out the door with the seeker using the red bot as a spring board, "I DON'T WANT TO DIE YET!"

Bots stared in wonder after the shouting bots even after they disappeared around the corner, some bots jumped up to follow them; wanting to see what was going to happen. Jazz just ran to the TV and started hacking the security camera's with the help of Blaster to see the chasing bots without having to leave the room, Prowl didn't even say anything in protest wanting to see it too, soon everyone was crowding around the television watching in awe at Wheeljack's dodging skills and Starscream's speed. It got even more interesting when the other two seekers joined in, bots were cheering at and shouting at the television either on team 'seeker' or team 'Wheeljack'.

"That's better," chirped Bluestreak basking in the shouting and jostling bots.

"Agreed," commented Mirage watching as the bots work themselves into a frenzy.

"Looks like every things back to normal," added Hound grinning as Ratchet joined the battle to at least give the inventor a chance of survival, not that he wasn't insulting the inventor as well.

"COME ON! I SAID I WAS SORRY! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT AND I FIXED IT ALREADY! " shouted the flashing bot ducking under a table.

"AND I'M ABOUT TO FIX YOUR AFT BY WELDING IT TO THAT SLAGGING BOX AND WARP YOU INTO THE PIT!" Replied the tri colored seeker kicking over the table while Wheeljack jumped over to another, "when I get my servo on a stick, I'm going to shove it so far up-"

"Ratchet! Help!"

"Run you idiot! RUN!" grunted the medic as he coordinated the Defensors moves to try to keep the other two seekers back.

"WAH!" Wheeljack barely dodged a swipe from the seeker before he launched himself out the window to find himself landing in Optimus's open servos who stared at him in surprise, "thanks for the catch Optimus. But you need to put be down so I can run for my life now."

Setting the inventor down, who bolted when his peds touched the ground, Optimus ducked under the three flying seekers and side stepped a raging medic and the Defensor unit. Watching till the bots disappeared the leader coughed into his servo and turned to the group of humans he was talking to, "and that is why I do not hold meetings with humans in my base, please turn around and go home, I can't guarantee your safety when Skywarp is able to hack the supplies cabinets." Leaving the stunned humans the leader just made his way back into the ship, he has been the leader of the ship for stellar cycles now, nearly nothing shocks him anymore, he was just glad that things were getting back to normal.

~Prowl to Optimus.~

~Optimus here.~

~Skywarp hacked the storage cabinet.~

~Save me a cube of energon, I'm heading to the rec room now.~

The leader hummed as the inventors shouts rang through the base.

It was good to have things back to normal.

~Alternate Universe~

A black and gold bot made his way down the halls to the open rec room, sunlight gleamed off his helmet horns and bathed his armored body, making his way to the energon dispenser the bot waited as the cube filled with the nourishing liquid. Not even batting an optic then the sound of racing echoed the room, Prowl nodded his greeting to the blue bot that appeared next to him in a flash. "Morning Agent Blurr."

"(Earth morning Prowl. Rested) well-last-cycle?We-should-be-ready-to-move-the-rest-of-the-parts-and-leave-soon," jabbered the speedster taking the offered energon and gulping it down while waiting for a second one to fill up, "hard-to-believe-that-it's-all-nearly-over."

Prowl just hummed in agreement while resting himself at the table. Blurr was right, everything almost seemed surreal, for so long they have been fighting in a war over the survival of their race, it seemed to be the only thing they knew, but it all came to a close with a final battle with Megatron. Prowl could still remember the last battle, Megatron fighting against Optimus Prime in an all out fight for the all spark, Bulkhead and Ratchet taking on Lugnut, Blurr and Bumblebee taking on Blitzwing while Sentinel was off trying to get Arcee back from the grips of Shockwave. It was a rough and spark pumping fight, Prowl watched it all from above as he and Jazz called upon the all spark shards, meditating to catch the bring in the unique energy signature that was of the mystical object.

One by one, the Decepticons were taken down, flying was no longer an advantage the Decepticons had, the Autobots have been taught to fight this in a short but momentum time. Prowl and Jazz were given enough time to all enough of the all spark shards as possible to save the Earth and team from destruction, he could remember the blinding flash when the lase Lugnut Supreme clone detonated, remembered as Bulkhead and Ratchet slammed Lugnut one last time with both their strengths, remembered as Blurr launched a Bumblebee into the air to deliver his strongest electric charge to the already weakened Blitzwing, remembered as Sentinel was able to save the kidnapped pink comrade and he remembered as Optimus Prime brought Megatron to his knees in surrender. It all happened in a few clicks but it signified the final end of everything.

Everything they had been trained for.

Everything they have been taught.

Everything they have been fighting for.

Their whole lives they were made to achieve.

The Autobots had defeated the leader of the Decepticons, kept the All Spark from his clutches and thus ended the war. Prowl could only gasp for air as the sun rose over the clouds, looking over at his fellow cyber ninja, he was met with the same expression; shock, surprise, disbelief and hope. Prowl couldn't help but grin when the ninja grabbed onto him, clutching him tightly in an embrace and laughing at it all. It was finally all over.

"Sometimes I can't believe it myself," muttered the police bot breaking from his memories when the blue bot sat in front of him, "I keep thinking I'll wake up and we'll be right back in the war zone, being shot to the pit by the Decepticons."

Blurr nodded in agreement before getting a thinking expression himself, "…Prowl?"

"Hmm?"

"Do-you-you-feel-like…You're-not-suppose-to-be-here?" Prowl only raised his optic to signal the blue bot to continue, "(you said you sometimes feel like waking up and being shot by the Decepticons. Do) you ever-feel-like…You-weren't-suppose-to-survive-all-this?" Prowl stared in shock at the bot before thinking about it, but before he could reply the blue bot just waved his servos laughing, "it's-stupid-never-mind-."

"Yes," interrupted Prowl before the blue bot could continue his fast talking, "standing up there after the battle, I just felt, surreal. I couldn't believe I was still there, for some reason I couldn't understand it but I wondered why I was-...still alive."

Blurr just stared at the police bot before taking another gulp of his energon, "I've-been-feeling-that-way-since-I-had-that-mission-on-the-Earth's-Moon,-scoping-out-the-Decepticon-base-there,-I kept-feeling-like-I-wasn't-alone-that-some-enemy-was-suppose-to-be-there." Blurr rubbed his helm and continued when Prowl motioned him to continue, "running-around-that-ship-and-hacking-it's-data-base.I-kept-looking-behind-me,expecting-some-bot-to-jump-out-at-me-to-stop-me-from-my-mission, (I tensed at every sound and was ready to bolt at any indication. But)-nothing-happened-I-got-the-data-with-no-complication,I-never-ran-away-faster-back-to-my-ship-though.I-kept-feeling-like-it-was-all-wrong,I-(wasn't suppose to do that something was missing. When I got back)-with-the-information-my-spark-was-beating-fast,faster-then-normal,I-kept-feeling-like-I-wasn't-suppose-to-do-that-I'm-not-suppose-to-be-here-"

"Then the dreams?" asked Prowl seeing the shocked look Blurr sent him to affirm his question, "so I haven't been the only one getting them."

"What-do-you-mean?You-have-been-getting-them-as-well?What-"

"I see myself standing on top of the building again, meditating with Jazz by my side, calling upon the shards of the All Spark…But, watching the battle, we were losing, the seeker clone team was there, the constructicons, we were fighting like we have never fought a flyer before, you were not there and so Sentinel, there was a feeling of hopelessness to it all. I remember meditating and trying my hardest to call upon the shards, but it was hard, I was struggling, I watched as Jazz turned to me and told me that it wasn't enough, we ran out of time and we didn't get enough shards to stop it all. I then, see myself turning to the all spark, I knew what I had to do to save everyone I-…"

"…You-sacrificed-yourself,to-the-all-spark," continued Blurr seeing the police bot struggle with the thought, "my-dream-is-I'm-back-on-the-moon-fighting-the-Decepticon-seekers-I-had-stumbled-upon-the-information-that-Shockwave-was-the-spy-and-they-were-after-me.I-ran-and-lept-and-fought-and-when-I-thought-I-was-able-to-escape-I-was-caught-in-a-trap.I-was-crushed-into-a-block-of-scrap-metal-and-then-thrown-into-the-furnance…I-felt-everything-though,the-pain-of-having-my-whole-body-crushed-the-agony-of-no-one-there-to-save-me-and-then-the-despair-and-betrayal-as-I-was-just-thrown-away-"

"I felt everything as well, the pain of seeing my team on the verge of being defeated, the despair as Jazz and I knew that we failed…I can even remember what it was like when I sacrificed myself to the all spark, giving my entire being to it, to save the others." Prowl and Blurr were lulled into silence thinking about it all, "…Do you ever think that that was truly our fate, that we were suppose to die in that war?"

"Then-why-are-we-still-here?"

Both bots thought about it as another period of silence filled the atmosphere, "…You ever think that Primus planned on the seeker, Starscream to be here?"

Blurr snorted, "I-don't-think-any-one-could-plan-for-him." Both bots thought about it, "...you-really-think-?"

"If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have taken down the seeker team and the constructicons. You finished your mission on the moon without being attacked by the seeker clones because we had them in custody and the constructicons weren't there to fully built the space bridge back up so it slowed down Megatron's plans to build the Cloned Supremes giving us time to collect more all sparks and hone our skills, making it easier for Jazz and I time to call upon the remaining shards without the stress and panic weighing upon us," stated Prowl with logic running the scenarios through his processors.

"We-even-learnt-to-fight-any-flyer-better-from-the-short-time-he-was-here," added Blurr tapping his servo fingers against the table, "all-because-of-an-accidental-warp-the-seeker-managed-to-change-our-fate-and-save-us?"

"As you said, I don't even think that Primus could plan for that seeker," both bots were lulled into silence again thinking about the theory they had.

"We should never tell him though, that seekers ego is big enough to suffocate a bot."

" (Agreed. So)how-was-your-date-with-Jazz?"

"It was not a date. It was patrol."

"Denial-denial-how-was-patrol-then?"

"Quiet. How was yours with Bumblebee?"

"Ugh!I-have-no-interest-in-that-bot."

"Denial, denial." Both bots grinned at each other before Blurr rushed off saying something about him having patrol with a certain annoying yellow minibot, though Blurr did volunteer to be his partner.

The seeker might have been the most insane and annoying seeker Prowl had ever met but he was right about a few things and had even saved their lives if their theory was anything to go by.

Patrol was quiet with Jazz, nothing was there to cause chaos anymore, standing there and staring at the stars though… Prowl couldn't help but blush when he remembered the taller ninja's lips on his face plate.

So Starscream was right about him and Jazz. Didn't mean he was going to perform those embarrassing and mortifying things Starscream mentioned and leered at him about.

…Maybe.

…Not just yet.

Prowl smiled into his cube silently sending this thanks to the tri colored seeker for everything he had done even if he did not mean for this to happen, smiling even wider when he felt some bots servo slide around his waist to plant a kiss on his helm, "mornin' Prowler."
