Take a Chance

-Blah: Rosanian language, or just an older form of Cyberonian

Meanwhile in the city of Detroit, Michigan the Autobots that lived on earth were currently busy with their own duties.

Optimus was currently watching the video monitors looking for any sign of trouble happening in the city. Ratchet was in the medbay putting away some of his tools. Prowl was in his room trying to mediate, Bulkhead was painting a picture of their human friend, Sari and Bumblebee was flipping through T.V. channels trying to look for something to watch. When suddenly-

"We interrupt this program for a special news bulletin." A news reporter robot said

"Bumblebee stay on that channel, everyone come out here for a moment." Commanded Optimus

Everyone stopped what they were doing and headed towards the living room. They all turned their attention the to television screen.

"We're just getting reports that a giant crater has formed right here in down town Detroit. People exclaim that they saw something falling from the sky and it crash landed right here. We're not sure what it is, but stay turn as we uncover the mystery of this crater." With that the news reporter robot vanishes from the screen

"What ya think it is Boss-bot?" asks Bulkhead

"Hopeful its not more Decepticons." Says Ratchet

"Whatever it is we're going to find out. Autobots, Transform and Roll out!" orders Optimus

Meanwhile in downtown Detroit…

Jena groans as her body finally stops aching from the impact of her crashing down on the planet. She could her small murmurs of other people around her. She quickly stands up to see organics or humans as some robots called them standing all around her.

Now normally Jena would be interested to see organics, but her processer was still in its blind fury that she had have when she was escaping the Decepticon warship. She growls at the humans causing them to scream and run away from her. Also she still was talking in old Cybertonian.

"Where the pit am I?" Jena says to the humans below her, but a flying robot flies up to her face and snaps her picture causing a bright flash to blind her for a moment

Jena refocuses her optics and smashes the camara-bot with her trapped servos.

'Stupid statis cuffs! I got to get this off!" Jena turns and looks at one the main polls that held the highway up above the ground. She runs over to it and starts bashing the statis cuffs against it hoping that they would break off with enough effort. But she completely ignored the sound of the humans who were watching her from above hold on tightly to the railing.

'"Why don't these things come off!" Jena says as she continues to smash them into the poll. But she was only a bash away from almost breaking the poll.

Just as she was to smash her servos into the pull again, a wising noise caught her audios. But before she turn around something hit her near her face, she saw that it was some kind of gold star-looking object. She turns around to see five mechs standing before her.

"Whoa, what is she?" asks Bumblebee

"I don't know, but be careful we don't know what's she capable of." Warns Optimus

Jena glares at them; her processer was still in too much of a haze to see that they were Autobots. She jumps into the air and comes down smashing her trapped servos into the ground-- were they were standing before they dodged her-- causing a large dent in the ground.

"Leave me alone!" Jena yells at them

Ratchet and Bumblebee try to use an electromagnet pulse on her, but it didn't do much expect force her backwards a little. Jena just came up to them and makes another dent in the ground. Prowl came forward trying to fight her off using Circuit-Su, but Jena could dodge his moves just as much as he could dodge hers.

Jena stepped back and using her pedes kicked a car that was aimed towards Prowl's head, but he ducked in the nick of time.

"Hmm, she stronger then she looks." Prowl mummers

Prowl looks up to see Jena had rushed towards him hitting him hard with her trapped servos. But she wasn't fast enough to react as Optimus swung his axe at her with his pole extension. It forced Jena to fly backwards until she headed up hitting a different pole that head up the highway.

Optimus helps Prowl back up and then turns to see what became of Jena. He gasps as Jena had already gotten back on her pedes; she smiles slightly at him while cracking her neck like his attack barely did anything.

"Not bad." She says to him

Bulkhead appears in front of Optimus and Prowl, his wrecking ball formed in his right servo. He charges towards Jena swinging his wrecking ball before hurling it straight at her. Jena runs towards it and then hits it with her servos hard enough to send it in a different direction and taking Bulkhead with it.

Everyone turns to see if Bulkhead it okay, but turn their attention back to Jena as they hear a clank noise. It turns out that the force of hitting Bulkhead's wrecking ball caused the armor platting that covered Jena's servos to come off, but the statis cuffs were still on her wrists. See this Jena raises her servos at them clenching them into fists. When she did blue balls of energy started to form around her servos.

'Look out!" yelled Optimus

Jena starts firing a storm of energy blasts at all of them. But some of her attacks that didn't hit them ended up hitting some of the buildings around them.

"Crazy kid gonna take out half the city!" yells Ratchet

Soon Jena comes to a stop and collapses on the ground with exhaustion. Her intakes reduced to heavy pants and her servos were still cackling with energy around them. Prowl slowly starts to make his way towards Jena.

"Prowl be careful." Optimus warns

Prowl continues to walk slowly up to her, when he was only a few inches away, Jena growls standing back up pointing her energy charged servos at him.

"Stay away from me!" she yells

Even though Prowl didn't understand what she was saying he tries talking to her hoping that she at least understood him, "Easy, my name is Prowl. I'm not going to hurt you", he starts walking towards her again.

"I said stay away from me!" She snaps at him

'I'm trying to help you. Please you have to trust me." Prowl keeps his voice calm

Jena glares at him as he comes closer; he puts his servos lightly on her wrists to lower them down slightly. Jena allows him to do so; the energy starts to disappear from her servos and her optics stop glowing enough so that the white pupil is visible again. She watches him cautiously as he tries to remove the statis cuffs. With a loud clank they finally come off.

Jena rubs her wrist extremely relived that they were free from their tight prison. She looks up to see that the one called Prowl along with his friends were standing near her.

"Why did you help me?" She asks them, but looks at them strangely as them seem to give each other confused looks

"We can't understand what you're saying." Explains Prowl

Jena blinks once before closing her optics, focusing on her vocalizer. A few clicks go by before she opens her optics again.

"Do you understand me now?" She asks

Everyone looks with slightly widen optics as the femme in front of them was now speaking clear English.

"Uh…yes we understand you now." Says Prowl

"Good." Jena walks up to Prowl, puts a servo on his shoulder then pushes him down on the ground

"If you don't want to be destroyed then all of you will leave me alone!" Jena yells at them before levitating herself off the ground a flying off

"…Wow, she was nice." Bumblebee says bluntly

"Who was she Boss-bot?" Asks Bulkhead

"I don't know, but we need to find her before she hurts someone else." Said Optimus

"The only thing I'm concerned about is that fembot had a Cyberonian energy signature." Exclaims Ratchet

"She's Cybronian?" asks Prowl

"Yeah and not only that, but those statis cuffs she had on belong to Decepticons, she must have been a prisoner of some sort." Adds Ratchet

"Well then let's go find her and see if she can answer some questions." Says Optimus as he and the rest of the Autobots start to follow Jena's energy signature

Jena finally comes to a stop near a giant oil tank. She tries to see if her database could tell her where she is, but there was no such luck. Picking up one of the barrels of oil, she runs a quick scan making sure it was safe before gulping it down. She sighs with relief that her fuel tanks were being nourished, those Decepticreeps only gave her enough energon to keep her online and sometimes she would have to go solar cycles without any at all.

'Guess this planet isn't so bad.' She thinks as she reaches for another barrel

"Uh…if you were hungry you could have just asked." A slightly high pitched voice said

Jena pauses and turns around to see the Autobots

'These mechs just won't take a hint.' She thought bitterly as she turned around, her optics glowing brightly while her servos had blue energy charged around them.

"Calm down, we're not going to hurt you. We're …friends…right?" Optimus said holding his hand up in defense

Jena looks at him oddly, "Friends? Why? Why did you help me?!"

"We're just…trying to be…nice." Explains Optimus

"Nice!? Yeah right!" Jena scoffs

Ratchet growls lightly and steps forward, "Look kid here nice means nice and if you want us to keep being nice. Then you better start explaining yourself! You were wearing Decepticon statis cuffs were you a prisoner?"

Jena's optics and servos stop glowing, she turns her head slightly away, and "I wasn't a prisoner. I was a…prize." remember bitterly how one of the Decepticons called her that

"The Decepticons attacked my home planet and I was captured during the battle. They told me that they were going to take me to this trade center were they sell my people off as slaves to other robots." She explains

Optimus comes up and places a servo on her shoulder, "I know you're probably having a hard time trusting us, but you have to believe me when I say we just want to help you."

Jena looks at Optimus and then at the rest of the Autobots, 'They are Autobots, maybe I can trust them.'

"Alright I believe…for now"

Optimus smiles at her, "Good now if you would just follow us back to our base. Ratchet can fix you up and we have some questions for you."

Jena nods and flies above them as they transform and start leading her back to their base.

"Ow!! Watch what you're doing medbot!" Jena snaps at Ratchet as he tries to fix her damaged body

"Stop your squirming kid! Your just gonna damage yourself even further!" Ratchet argues back

Jena settles down a little long enough for Ratchet to fix the last few injuries on her body. Until she notices Bumblebee and Bulkhead watching her.

"You know I believe on some planets it's considered rude to stare!" Jena grumbles at them

"Sorry!" They both say in union, laughing nervously while Jena just rolls her optics at them

'There you go kid." Ratchet says as he finishes patching Jena up

'…Thanks" Jena gets up to leave the medbay

"Arrogant young 'bots" Ratchet mumbles to himself

Jena goes into the living room to see Optimus waiting for her.

"So …uh…"

"XJ-4, but I prefer to be called Jena." Realizing she hadn't told any of them her name

"…Jena then you're a Cyberonian correct?"

"Yes I am but I'm a different kind of Cyberonian. I'm a Rosanian from the planet Rosatron." She explains

"So are you part organic?" asks Bulkhead, but he ducked as Jena shot an energy blast towards his head

"Hey what your problem?" Yelled Bumblebee

"How dare you call me an organic! I am 100% machine and I suggest you don't forget that!" Jena snaps at them

Optimus grabs Jena's arm, "Calm down it was an accident."

Jena lowers her arm, "Sorry Rosanian were banished from Cybertron because of our appearance so it's a touchy topic for us Rosanians."

"No duh!" says Bumblebee

'Bumblebee!" Prowl scolds

"Hey guys what's going on?" asked a small voice

Everyone turned to see Sari waking down the hall, rubbing her eyes of the sleep that was still in them. Jena looked at her with shock and curiosity. She came closer to her and bent down near the small human girl to get a better look at her.

"Whoa!" Sari's voice was filled with awe as she looked at Jena

'…Interesting, you keep an organic with you?" Jena asks

"Hey I have a name ya know!" Sari exclaims

"Oh I'm so sorry what is your name?"

"I'm Sari."

Jena gave her a confused look, "Why are you apologizing?"

Sari giggles, "No, my name is Sari.'

"Well then it's a pleasure to meet you Sari."

Optimus clears his throat, "Jena do you know what you're going to do know?"

"I'm not sure really I don't know how long it would take me to try and get back home."

"Well if I would make a suggestion." Says Prowl

"Yes, Prowl?"

"Why not let Jena stay here with us?" suggests Prowl

Optimus smiles, "I think that's a pretty good idea, she can be part of the team."

"Whoa! What just a nanoclick! Are you saying you saying you want me to join the Autobots?" Jena says in disbelief

"If you want to Jena."

Jena couldn't believe this was really happening her whole function she wanted to join the Autobots and now this was her chance. But what if she wasn't cut out to be one of them?

'No this is no time to start second guessing yourself, Jena. You can do this. Mom and Dad always said to follow your dreams and listen to your spark. I can do this, I just have to try.' She thought

"Optimus I would like to join the Autobots that is if that's okay with all of you." Jena says finally

"Well then welcome to the Autobots, Jena." Optimus congratulates her

A few weeks later…

Jena had learned pretty quickly how to work with the other Autobots. Her first week as an Autobot they had to stop a criminal named Nanosec. It went pretty well since the Autobots lead Nanosec into a trap that lead him right into Jena. But while stopping criminals was interesting for Jena, she was more fascinated with learning more about the human species. Luckily Prowl was more then welcome to help her out in that department.

It was strange at first for Jena for whenever she would leave the base many of the humans would watch her. But apparently that was normal since humans were always excited when it came to new robots showing up. Well all humans expect for a human named Captain Fanzone, who apparently wasn't very fond with any machine what so ever.

But during the ninth week that's when the real surprise happened…

"Autobots listen up." Said Optimus

Everyone turns to see what their leader had to say.

I got a transmission last night saying that Elite Guard will be showing up sometime tomorrow. So I want everyone to be prepared and be on your best behavior for when they arrive."

Everyone seemed to be taking the news rather well, well all expect for Jena.

'The Elite Guard are coming here!? I knew I would have to face them sometime, but not this soon! I just hope I'm ready for this.' Jena thinks worriedly

As the Autobots turn to go to their rooms for the night. Jena lied on her berth praying, hoping that everything would go well tomorrow when the Elite Guard found out that a Rosanian had joined the Autobots.
