'Its too early for this shit.' She says rolling off her bed with a thunk. 'I think I brain damage now.' "My name is Natalia Aravoski, I am 19 turning 20 in a week. I have lived alone since I was 16 and I have no family. I work at an auto body shop in Tranquility, Nevada. I am close friends with the owner's daughter who works there as well. Her name is Mikaela Banes she is about 3 years younger than me. I am currently laying on the floor beside my bed."
Dragging herself from her room to the kitchen, she calls her only friend.

"Hey this is Mikaela, sorry I can't get to the phone right now. Try to text me if that doesn't work then leave a message."
BEEP
"Hey baby girl, how ya doin'? Ima be in Mission City later today. Just callen' ta let ya know. Comm. me later!"
Running back into her room Natalia pulls out her black army fatigues. Checking the time she scurries into her bathroom and taking the quickest shower she had ever taken. Finish dressing she brushes her hair and puts her hat on and aviator glasses.
Reaching for her backpack she fills it with her guns, grenade, missile launcher that she can put together, and enough ammunition to fill an entire squadron's guns. 'I don't know what it is but, Mission City is gonna need my help today.'
Getting in her ice blue and gold Suzuki Hayabusa, Natalia speed off to Mission City breaking at least 10 laws along the way. Slowing when she reaches city limits she cruises down the main avenue and stops in front of a coffee shop.
Walking in and ordering a large Russian tea that is a speciality there, Natalia leans against her bike as she observes her surroundings. Hearing the rumble of several powerful engines Natalia picks out the engine noise of the fastest car in the group. Feeling her skin get tingly with energy she finishes her tea.
Just as the cars pull into the avenue Natalia reaches for her rifle. Closing her eyes she listens to the world around her. '3.. 2.. 1' she whips her guns out and shoots at the cars driving straight at her to the group of cars behind her.
Decommissioning the Saleen Mustang she quickly pulls out the rest of the weapons and straps them to her body making her look like a walking armory. "Sabot rounds bitches." She turns around to the group behind her with a smirk.
Spotting a familiar face in the crowd she drops her now empty backpack on the ground.
"Lennox what in the hell is your American ass doing here?" Natalia shouts while walking the said man. She vanishes halfway then reappears with her arm around Lennox's shoulders.
"Aravoski why in gods name are you here?"
"Tingly skin." She deadpans
"Seriously?" Lennox asks with the "what the fuck" face.
"Yup." She says popping the p.
"Gonna leave?" He asks slightly hopeful that she would.
"William Lennox when have I ever left or passed up a fight?" She says putting her hands on her hips.
"Never."
"That's your answer."
Natalia walks with Will toward the group of armed men. She sits on the hood of an idle yellow with black racing striped mustang. Hearing a F - 22 heading towards the city too low to be human, she jumps off the Camaro and pulls out her missile launcher. Watching as the Camaro she was previously sitting on transform into a humanoid, large, being. "Shit I'm short again."
Running with the previously Topkick and Camaro towards a furbie truck to use as shield against the oncoming missile she aims at the F - 22 and fires. Both missiles hit their marked target and the blast knocks Natalia back several feet. She hears the robotic cries of pain come from the Camaro.
Being thankful for being a mechanic she pulls out a welding torch and runs up to the legless being. Making quick work of the wound Natalia finishes patching up the being just as everybody comes over to the blast sight. Getting on her non-damaged Suzuki Hayabusa Natalia speeds off towards the black colored being.
"Yo! Weapons Specialist!" She yells gaining the attention of said being.
"Yes?"
"What's your name?"
"Ironhide."
"Coolness. Hey Ironhide can you throw me and my bike at the jet?"
"Why would I do that human?"
"Because I'm insane, loaded with explosives, and has a very long air time!" She says with a look that says "I'm crazy and if you wanna stay in one piece do as I say."
"Uh, ok but just don't tell anyone I did this."
"Okay!"
Natalia slowly drives into Ironhides open hand and hooks her legs to the sides of her motorcycle, with a nod and an insane grin that would put the Joker's to shame. Just as the F - 22 nears their position Ironhide launches Natalia and her bike into the air at the jet.
While in the air Natalia looks around to see that everybody has paused in their fighting to see what in the hell she is doing. She even saw big ugly on the tower watching her with an analytical gaze. A foot away from the jet Natalia jerks her body to the right and the parts of her bike come apart. A split second after her bike came apart, the bike parts fly at her and latch onto her form creating an armor that makes her look like a cybertronian mini bot.
Suddenly the world sped up again and Natalia latches onto the jet. Activating her now fully intergraded weapons system she fires on the wings of the jet transforms and lands on the same building as big ugly who has silver being considerably smaller than the others is in big ugly's grasp.
Natalia still latched onto the now transformed jet swings to the jet's head and fires on its neck cables. Losing her balance from the jet's jerking movement Natalia falls into the vicinity of big ugly and silver. Snapping out her wings she glides up and closes her wings and falls onto silver as it begins taunting big ugly.
Hearing the painful sound of metal groaning Natalia decides to take action against big ugly. Quickly charging up her entire weapons network system she takes aim at big ugly's eyes. Big ugly notices her due to the sound of her almost silent weapons system powering up. "Yippie- Kai- A-Motherfucker!" She yells as she releases a torrent bullets on big ugly's face.
With a roar of annoyance and pain big ugly drops silver. Natalia being the dumbass that she is forgets that she can fly and blacks out for a second or two in panic. Silver gains some sense and grabs Natalia and holds her close and tries to slow their fall.
Their speed decreases just a little bit but they still fall too fast. 'Shit Lennox is gonna kill me and I didn't even show him my new sword yet- YES! Bitch head why didn't I think of that earlier?' Natalia shifts her armor to reveal a 8 foot sword that would be for a being like silver. Pulling out the sword from its spinal sheath Natalia quickly wraps her legs around silver's arm and thrusts her sword into the building next to their falling forms.
'Oh man, this is going to hurt like a bitch' Just as the sword becomes lodged in place Natalia tightens the legs around the beings arm and tenses. RIPPPP "OH MY FUCKING GOD! SHIT THAT HURTS! MOTHERBOARD DEFRAGGER! Letting out a slew curses in every know language that would make the queen of England's guards blush bright red, Natalia slowly drops down to the road below. 'Hah suck it bitches I'm not crying from the pain!' She slowly unwraps her legs from around the being's arm and bolts to where the fight is still going on.
Helping Will and his men take down a chopper style being she watches in amusement as Will slides between the beings legs and aims the laser at it back struts and literally makes the chopper a new aft pipe. Seeing Will in trouble Natalia launches herself at the chopper's abdomen and tackles it to the ground. Moving at the last minute as the missiles from human jets hit the chopper and kill it.
"Damn I'm good!" Natalia says after looking at the very, very dented abdomen plate on the dead chopper. Suddenly a few soldiers turn and start to fire on Natalia seeing the similarity between the dead chopper and Natalia's armor and red eyes. Natalia quickly raises her arms up in a x form and activates her shield. "Lennox tell you men to stop firing on me it's a waste of bullets!" Natalia yells over the bullets. Will looks over at Natalia and shakes his head. "Hold your fire!" He yells while trying not to look amused at Natalia's situation.
"Asshole."
"Dumbass"
"Fuck face"
"Jack wagon"
"Dick head"
"Little girl"
"Aw hell naw! You did not just go there-"
"Hey Nat fancy seeing you here." Mikaela says looking very ticked off.
Natalia sheepishly rubs the back of her neck while looking in Mikaela's direction. "Hehe, uh... Hey baby girl?"
Mikaela walks up to Natalia and punches her in the arm then hugs her. Will watches with a raised eyebrow and Natalia notices and flicks him off. Mikaela releases her with a red tears face.
"Doushe bag, I thought you were gonna die when you were falling!" Mikaela says trying not to bawl her eyes out.
"I'm still here ain't I and externally in one piece."
"Externally?" Mikaela says voice raising.
"Umm.. Let's just say that I should be on the ground screaming my brains out due to the fact that I shredded every muscle in my arms, abdomen, back, and legs."
"..."
"I'm just gonna get a beer." Natalia states walking away from an extremely worried, pissed off, and scared Mikaela.
Mikaela watches as her guardian, best friend, sister, and sometimes mother figure hunt around for a beer in a demolished restaurant. Her breath hitches when she doesn't spot Natalia for a few moments.
Hearing a muffled "YES" and then the sound of sifting rubble she relaxes slightly. After a few minutes of struggling and a loud "HOORAH," Natalia appears on a pile of rubble with a 6 pack of beer in hand. Catching a beer thrown at her Mikaela walks with her guardian towards the autobots.
"So..." Drawls Natalia.
"Feel any pain?"
"Nope. The suite mutes my nerves so I can't feel."
"Oh."
"Yup, I'm sorry for worrying you. You should know by now that I'm attracted to any kind of dangerous situation."
"Yeah I know that, it's just that I don't know if you'll make it out alive and in one piece."
Both of them reach the group after the tall blue and red being who Mikaela called Optimus Prime finished talking. Natalia watches Mikaela and Sam interact with each other with a very faint smile on her lips. On her second beer Natalia hand two beers to Will and Epps, she senses the she is being watched by an autobot.
Shifting her weight she notices that her armor is unusually light. 'Shit my sword. It's still stuck in the building.' While everybody's attention is on Sam, Natalia slips in the shadows and slips back out of shadows with her sword that she just retrieved not even several seconds ago. "Yo Will. Help me sheath my sword-oh that just sounds wrong- I can't move my arms." Natalia whispers to Will. Walking in front of Will ad Epps she hands them both her sword and turns with her back facing them.
"Holy shit Aravoski were the hell did you get this beauty?" Epps asks running a hand across he flat part of the double edged blade.
"Made it."
"Where do we put it?" Will mumbles looking skeptical that an 8 foot blade can be a part of a 6'8 girl's armor. Natalia relaxes and slightly rolls her shoulders, opening her spinal armor.
"Slide it in blade first and when you hear a click, push the blade into my back and let go of the hilt." Natalia instructs standing still.
Will does as she said with the help of Epps. They step back and watch as her outer armor slides over the sword and locks in place intergrading the sword to become her spinal armor. 'Feels weird every time.'
Checking the time Natalia groans. She steps towards the autobots to find Sam and Mikaela surrounded by the autobots talking with each other.
"Yo! Sorry to break up this human-cybertronian friending time but Mikaela has to leave." Natalia says adopting her "mother tone" and opening her last can of beer.
"Come on Nat, where do you have to be? Can we stay just a little bit longer?" Mikaela pleads making the situation seem like a mother and her daughter are arguing when to leave.
"I'm on my last beer! AND I just wanna go sleep!" She says grabbing Mikaela by the shoulders and shaking her every syllable while looking her in the eye with a dead seriousness.
"You can't go home Aravoski. You have to debrief first." Will says from behind them.
"No you can't make me! I'm not an American citizen! I have rights! I'M OUT OF BEER!" Natalia shrieks falling to the ground dramatically.
"If you willingly come with you can have your high- grade stuff. You left it in my bag last time. Oh and here's two more beers." Will hands her the beers and walks to the convoy.
Natalia rolls onto her back and holds her arms out to tell Mikaela to help her up. She then in turn picks Mikaela up and carries her over to the black and yellow mustang named Bumblebee. Leaving the two to go to the base themselves 'young love', Natalia lays down on top of a car.
She turns her head and gives a loopy smile to the convoy pulling out. She sees Will and sticks her thumb out like a hitchhiker and waves weakly. Will sees this and makes small flying motion with his hands and Natalia shakes her head "no." Then he motions the revving of a motorcycle and she pats her armor and shrugs.
She turns her head back and closes her eyes falling asleep. Feeling being picked up and placed in a car she sleepily lifts her arm up and flicks who ever moved her off. Moving to get comfortable she buries her face into the soft leather of the seat.
