Asabi was completely content. The twenty year old was curled up under her covers, sound asleep. Her light brown, jaw length hair had fallen onto her face, hiding the few freckles that decorated her face. Her left arm, which was the only other part of her visible, was decorated with a dragon tattoo that snaked down the top of her arm, the tail at the elbow and the head on the back of hand, the wings wrapping around the center of her arm. Her skin was tanned from many afternoons outside. Her breathing was quiet and calm. However, the beeping from her computer woke her. She glanced up at it and groaned. She rolled out of bed and stood up, walking over to the computer. She sat down in the chair and typed her password. The alarm stopped and text appeared on the screen. The woman devoted her full attention to the computer and it was an hour before she sent it into sleep mode. She glanced up at the clock halfheartedly then her eyes got wide.

"Slag it! I'm going to be late if I don't move," she cried, leaping up. The woman hurriedly got dressed and rushed down stairs, grabbing something to eat before rushing out the door.

"Asabi! Where are you going?" her brother asked, looking up from under the hood of his truck.

"I've got work Ulrich! I'm going to be late!" she yelled. She leapt into her mustang and started the engine. She pulled out expertly before flying down the drive. Ulrich stared after her a moment before shaking his head.

"She's lucky a cop doesn't drive around here," he muttered before heading into the house.

Asabi pulled into the shop's parking lot in record time.

"Thank God the traffic wasn't bad," she muttered, walking to the door. She thought that it was odd there was no noise. As she stepped into the office, she noticed a note on the door.

Asabi,

Aaron is out sick today and I've taken one of the main haulers to get some parts replaced. You should be able to handle things here. I probably won't be back until tomorrow.

Jeff

The woman sighed. "All that rushing for nothing. The day I'm going to be late is the day I can afford to be," she thought ironically before dropping her stuff into her locker. She went over the list to see what had to be done since there wasn't a call yet.

"All right. I should finish that vehicle of Mr. Sampson's. Then Doc Anderson's should be next," she told herself as she grabbed the tools and entered the shop. The shop itself was unique.

The building was huge, plenty big enough for quite a few semis. The building was about twenty feet tall with storage along the top. Several cranes ran along rails on the ceiling to move things around. Asabi headed over to one side and began to work on a partly dismantled car. About an hour and a half into her work, the radio came on.

"This is Trooper Henson to the Black Rock Garage requesting vehicle pickup." Asabi rushed over and grabbed the radio.

"This is Black Rock. Where is vehicle location?" she asked.

"Hey there Asabi," the trooper greeted, "We've got an beat up looking Porsche and Rescue Hummer over here at Overhead Bridge. No one is around and we need to get them out of here."

"All right Henson. ETA is 15 minutes," she replied, putting the radio back. She grabbed the keys to one of the tow trucks and headed out.

When she arrived at the scene, something was off. She noticed that most people were just standing around talking, no real action. Henson walked up to the truck and she gave him a puzzled look.

"Someone reported a chase that a police car was tailing a Porsche and a Hummer behind the police car. The person reported the two going over the edge but not the police car. There isn't a sign of anyone or that car. It's as if no one was driving them," he told her as she glanced over the edge of the cliff. She whistled.

"That's a nasty drop if they were speeding. Well, I'll pull them up," she said, going back to the truck. With the troopers help she backed up to the edge and threw chains down to the officers down there. Within an hour, she had both the Hummer and Porsche safely strapped onto the tow truck's bed. She gave them a once over.

"They're so muddy that I can hardly tell what color they are," she exclaimed as Henson came over.

"Well go ahead and clean then up and send us what you find. If no one claims them, will probably hand them over to you guys over there."

"All right then. I'll see you later," she called, hopping into the truck. The engine started with a rumble and she began the drive back. She turned on the radio and music filled the cab. She never noticed the cop car that trailed her with out being seen.

Asabi pulled up the garage and unloaded the two vehicles in to the garage. She grabbed the hose and washed the mud off of them. When she was finally able to see the vehicles, she noticed that there were no license plates. She frowned and circled them. The yellow-green Search and Rescue Hummer seemed to give off a sense of energy. Asabi could sense something from it. Turning, she studied the silver Porsche. The lines were sleek and the same energy seemed to radiate from it. She stepped closer to it when there was the sound of something metal falling to the floor. The woman turned and went to find the sound of the noise. As she went around the Hummer, her hand trailed over the hood as she walked by.

Ratchet hurt. Barricade had shown up as he and Jazz were heading for the base. The two had taken off in an attempt to lose him. Barricade had chased after Jazz and Ratchet had turned to try and help the second in command lose the cop car. The chase had lasted sometime. When they came to the bridge, Barricade had slammed into Jazz as he tried to avoid a human car and had slid over the edge. Ratchet had caught up and tried to ram Barricade. But the Decepticon had spun around and rammed Ratchet instead, pushing him over the edge. He had fallen into stasis and was slowly onlining when he felt a touch on his hood. Bringing his sensors online, he sensed a human female walking about. But he could tell from her heart rate that she was scared. The woman picked up a bar and held it in front of her to protect herself.

"I know you're there," she said, her voice loud but even. What was she thinking?

"Come on out you creep. You can't hide forever," she called again. I swept my sensors around, trying to find who she was talking to. It wasn't until too late when I heard Frenzy's chattering and mentally cursed. She gasped and backed up.

"What the hell?" she said, backing up.

"You...you…you…fleshy die!" he chattered. The human seemed smart enough not to fight him. She retreated towards a set of stairs, never turning her back to Frenzy. I tried to transform but found several transforming cogs stuck.

::Jazz! Jazz! Wake up:: I shouted at him over the comm. He didn't respond. The human rushed up the stairs, trying to put distance between Frenzy and herself. The hacker took out several of his stars and threw them. They missed the human who ducked, but cut the chains holding the floor she was standing on. Half of it gave way and she gasped as she grabbed onto the railing. I called to Jazz again and winced as I heard her scream as the walkway fell as the last chains were cut. I flinched mentally as the metal hit the floor. I tried to scan for the human but couldn't sense her.

::JAZZ!:: I roared. The saboteur onlined with a groan.

::I'm gonna kill Barricade:: he growled.

::Forget Barricade. We've got Frenzy to worry about:: I snapped. The silver Porsche beside me transformed, about five feet short enough to stand up straight.

::All right, where's the little slagger?:: He spotted him and was about to go after him when I stopped him.

::There's a human under the rubble Jazz. Try to find her:: He fired off a shot that sent the hacker scurrying then started to look for the human. I focused my self-repair system on the busted cogs as Jazz looked for her.

::I found her!:: he said, pulling some metal out of the way as my systems finished their repairs. I transformed stiffly and had to duck somewhat as Jazz picked her up. As I scanned her, I noticed that she did not look significantly harmed except for cuts and bruises. But humans were very fragile and I transformed back and ordered Jazz to place her in me. I took off out of the garage with Jazz behind me to see Barricade driving off. I simply focused on the woman and rushed back to base as her vital signs began to decrease.


EH: All right. This is my new story. Kind of slow to get going but I hope to make it better. Let me know what you think.

Note: I don't think I will be doing a pairing but plans change. But for now, no pairings.
