A long time ago, a deal was made between two of Cybertron's most powerful leaders. Earth and its inhabitants will suffer. But not if Spade and the Autobots have anything to do about it. Spade's changes are nearly complete, but as the transformation progresses, only some will keep their life. Who will lose theirs?

The fight against the Fallen is over and tempers have flared. Spade's becoming a new soldier and has gotten closer than ever to Optimus. But, trouble will always find the Autobots and someone will get hurt. But who? This is part 2.5 of the Spade Quadrilogy, following I Rise, You Fall!
