What you recognize I don't own and considering this is after the series for one thing it might be considered AU. As always foreign, alien and sign language is in asterisks, thoughts are in italics and a flashback will be in the beginning but with valid reason. Oh and for one aspect of the story there will be military time involved and language that is not used except in that field

Several people were in a hospital waiting outside a specific room

"How is she?"

"Still touch and go according to the doctors and that equals visitation restrictions"

"The police?"

"Coping, but still struggling as well"

"I don't blame them, after all it's only been three days since..."

"Yeah"

Three days earlier

"Julia, what made you decide to come to Japan anyways?"

"For one it's summer vacation in America and for another due to who's raised me it's imperative I learn about other cultures and since Captain Faireborn was doing a base inspection anyways I asked and was granted permission to come along to learn a little bit about Japan and it's culture, not to mention put my language skills into practice"

"That makes sense and since it's summer vacation for you it's the perfect time isn't it?"

"Indeed it is"

Suddenly they start hearing the sound of gunfire and commotion so all of the group runs towards the sound of chaos and sees trouble. Unsure of the entire situation they decide to hide and watch to see who was friendly and who was foe and they quickly got the answer with responding police due to the fact that all of them spoke Japanese

*Jiban! Give Jiban backup now!*

The police officers start shooting those attacking Jiban and while the EDC officers don't get involved quite yet they at least knew friend from foe if they should have to get involved

"Should we or not?"

"Not yet, it's still manageable for police, but get ready to step in at a moment's notice"

"Understood Kerenai"

Soon enough though they did have to get involved and Julia was the first to join the fray against Quintessons, Sharkticons, the enemies Jiban had been fighting, and Linfarins

"Right, call for backup and then start shooting"

"Right"

Julia rushed into the fight going hand to hand against the enemy and was surprising Jiban and the cops by how well she was doing and then when she went up against the Linfarins they brought out a weapon and she only got touched by one before she deliberately kept away from the enemy, they also noticed her nodding to herself

"Right, EDC keep away from the Linfarin weapon's they've been upgraded from the last time we saw them!" (switched to Japanese) *Keep away from enemy weapons, if they touch you there's a possibility they could kill you!*

"Hey Kerenai, might have to use the secret weapon"

"I know that, just hoping I don't is all, but it's getting there"

"Just making sure you knew"

The group soon noticed that Julia was starting to get tired and more and more injured as the fight went on, even with Jiban protecting her whenever possible. Suddenly Julia would use her powers when she saw Jiban get hit with a weapon that she knew was fatal to humans and Cybertronians alike depending on several factors, as it was he definitely went down hard

"Now you've done it creeps, Arranyan...air burst!"

The attack forces the surviving enemies to retreat giving Julia a clear shot at Jiban and she used it to great effect quickly going to her knees and putting her hands where his heart would be if he were human

"Arranyan energy transfer"

The others soon get to where the two where and one of the Japanese officers went to touch her when he was stopped by an EDC officer

*Don't touch her, you touch her and both could die, either that or while one lives and the other doesn't there would still be damage and you could be hurt in the backlash of a sudden power surge due to her suddenly stopping all of her energy from going into Jiban here*

*What can we do then?*

*Nothing, until she either tells us it's safe to move him or she passes out all we can do is watch and hope nothing else happens in this area and if it does watch her back*

*Very well, we'll set up a perimeter so that no one gets inside without explicit permission*

*That's probably a good idea because for all we know the enemy is just waiting for an opportunity to attack again and we'll be the main targets of said attack*

About five minutes later Julia actually passed out from exhaustion and as such they quickly rushed her to the hospital while with Jiban they had been forced to declare him dead, they even tried bringing him back at the secondary base at the police station that had been constructed with permission about two years after Bioron was destroyed and one year after his human identity had returned from his journey

Present

"When will she find out that despite her efforts she failed?"

"Not until the doctors say so, they do not want to have a set back in regards to her healing"

"Understood"

The next day they arrived to a commotion in Julia's room and they discovered that she was awake and trying to leave against medical advice

"Julia you're still severely injured you need to heal"

"I'm fine, it was mostly exhaustion"

"Julia, you've been in critical condition for three days"

Julia deliberately switches to Japanese seeing as how the doctors had special clearance as required to treat her

*The x-rays are mostly a lie, my powers decided to make things seem worse than they actually are in order to protect me in case anyone who wanted to kill me accidentally got into my records, it really was mostly exhaustion I am fine now and will be heading to the police station to file a report. How's Jiban by the way?*

*Dead, despite your efforts and according to them their own efforts he couldn't be brought back*

*I see, I will have to give my condolences then as well as give them my report*

*Kerenai...*

*Sorry guys but it's something I have to do and like I said things aren't as bad as they seem*

Julia goes to the elevator and then puts her left hand to her ribs on the right side knowing that her abilities hadn't completely hidden the damage and she knew that if she got hit in the side again she'd wind up right back in the hospital possibly needing assistance to breath due to a crushed chest. Once on the first floor she faked being okay until after she got back to her hotel room after going to the police station. Over the next week she got permission from her family to stay in Japan until further notice and informed the Japanese government that she was invoking her international citizenship until she personally told them she was ready to be considered an American citizen again and actually remembered the meeting to activate said citizenship

Three days earlier

*Prime Minister I request permission to activate my international citizenship and stay in Japan and be considered a Japanese citizen until I say I want to be considered an American citizen again*

*I will grant you permission if you can find an EDC officer who will be able to stay in the country while you are considered a Japanese citizen*

*Prime minister I will be staying with a Japanese family that works as a civilian with the EDC until I declare I am ready to be considered an American citizen again*

*Oh?*

*Yes sir, all personnel who work for the EDC be they an actual officer or part of the civilian adjunct are considered EDC officers*

*Why were we not informed of this?*

*I am unsure Prime Minister, I do know that the country is at the very least informed that all people who work at the EDC base can defend themselves. This was after a country who was unsure if they wanted a permanent base sent their army to defend their people when an attack happened that forced almost all the EDC officers to fight in the front lines. The army lost many good people and after that day my family made it a requirement that the government knows that their people can defend themselves if not the fact that they're considered EDC officers*

*Very well, since that is the case you have permission to invoke your international citizenship*
