Wow it's been a little while and I'm sorry for leaving this so long. But here is the next chapter finally so I hope everyone enjoys. Don't forget to review!

It was just bizarre. Nothing made sense to her as Knockout ranted on about boring things she just didn't care about. She just stared at her own fingers or what Knockout has told her are referred to as servos. Also many other parts of her new body that Knockout insisted she needed to remember.

'So fucked up' she thought to herself as she constantly rolled her optics each time Knockout spoke.

Knockout knew she was not paying attention really but hoped she would at least half note the things he's said, even if he had to repeat them she will understand about their kin sooner or later.

Sarah sighed deeply in exhaustion feeling her head starting to throb and rubbed her forehead. She continued sitting on the berth she has been sitting on for what felt like hours as Knockout wondered around her

Knockout could definitely see she was in her own little world and spoke once more "Even if you don't remember everything I tell you I'll just keep reminding you until you do" He picked up a data pad and handed it to her.

"Here. This has recorded data of important things you need to know. Tomorrow I'll set up a little area for you in here with a computer console so you're able to do your own little history research"

Sarah gave a small shrug not making eye contact with him at all. Knockout was starting to get a little annoyed at this.

"I would drop that attitude if I was you" He didn't want to make her not trust him by yelling, but if discipline or warning her was needed he would. For her own sake "You've been like this for hours. Are you still not feeling well?"

"Not really" Her voice was soft but clear enough "My head is throbbing, like I've said for the past few hours"

"And like I've answered multiple times it will wear off. It's just a side effect and besides I don't want to give you anything until you've still adjusted to your new form. Just in case"

Sarah huffed at his response "Whatever you say, mister I know everything"

"Darling-"

"Don't call me that" She half groaned at him.

Knockout exhaled "Listen, we've been here for a while now and have accomplished nothing. Before Megatron sees you I would like to see a little improvement otherwise he will not be impressed"

Sarah shook her helm lightly "Yeah sure, don't want to disappoint your asshole leader with your lab rat project"

"That's not what you are. I see a beautiful and intelligent cyber life form that has a bright future ahead of her; she just doesn't know it yet"

Finally she looked up to face him in front of her. Once chocolate brown eyes and now blood red optics stared into Knockout's own, trying to read him but wasn't as easy as it looked.

"You really think I'm beautiful? All I see is a freak"

"That's what you see because you are still unfamiliar with our race. Soon you'll understand and finally realize you are so lucky to be here" Knockout stepped forward and lifted her chin up higher with his servos and offered a rare kind smile at her.

Right than Sarah saw kindness he showed and strangely relaxed in her spot. But it still didn't change much right that moment "I don't feel so lucky, but if you say so"

Knockout noticed she was a little calmer now than she was before but was still not fully adjusted which he completely understood. It was going to take a while for her to get use to everything in her new life or even if she ever did. No one knew what to expect, but right now he needed to take her to Megatron.

"Alright love, how do your legs feel?"

Sarah moved both of them up and down slowly to have a feel "Ok I guess. A little stiff though"

"That's ok" He offered her his servos in front of her "I'll help you up if you like"

She looked at the hands and back at him before sighed in defeat. She was just too tired to argue anymore about anything and just wanted to go to sleep and never wake again.

She placed her own in his and lifted herself up. It wasn't bad at first but that was until she took a step forward and the pain returned in her knee joints.

"Fucking hell" She groaned as she was supported by Knockout's help "It didn't feel like this before"

"It will probably come and go for a bit, until your body adjusts" He couldn't help but smirk down at her. It was like watching a sparkling walk for the first time.

Sarah took her hands away when she figured she was ok "Alright, what now?"

"First I'll get you some energon, than we will visit Megatron"

She screwed up her face in confusion "Wait ener-what?"

"Energon. You'll know it soon enough since it's what we live on" He poured some into a cube and offered it to her "Here, drink this"

Sarah looked at the odd blue glow goo in front of her "It looks gross and deadly"

"Trust me this might make you feel a bit better and you'll need to consume it at least twice a day"

She took the cube and stared at it for a good short moment. It was defiantly something she would never put inside of her or even go near. She didn't trust it but again she didn't trust anyone right now.

"Come on now. Just drink it whole" Knockout waited for her to do so.

Sarah gave one more glance at him and inhaled, taking all of the thick goo in her mouth and swallowing it. Never before has she tasted something so….disgusting!

She almost choked on it as it slowly went down her throat and into her fuel tanks. Her servos covered her mouth to avoid throwing up right in front of Knockout.

"You alright?" Knockout asked with raised optics.

"I-I feel like I'm going to be sick" She clenched at her front feeling the hot burning settle inside of her.

"You can't get sick, you'll be fine"

"I'm not fucking fine!" She snarled "What is that shit? It tastes like I just swallowed fuel"

Knockout rolled his optics slightly "First of all, cybertronian's can't get sick. Sparkling's can but as they get older it will go away. As for us we can get viruses and on rare occasions may hurl if there is something seriously wrong but you're fully functional. You're just complaining about the taste"

Sarah clenched her mouth tight shut to spot herself from screaming at him, but he was right. She was complaining about the taste of it and never wanted to have it in her mouth again. However that wasn't likely. She also didn't bother to question what a sparkling was.

Slowly she placed the cube down and exhaled still tasting the thick goo in her mouth. She remained silent until Knockout spoke.

"Just to be safe keep your mouth shut unless you've been given approval by Megatron. He won't tolerate bad behaviour and punishment will be given"

"Is that supposed to scare me?"

"J-just…don't say anything" Knockout forced himself not to snap at her "Now come along, were already running late"

Sarah huffed in annoyance as she slowly followed Knockout out of the room and ignored the small pain in her legs. She watched in wonder as the door hissed open for them and carefully walked under it with her head tilted up. Looking behind her she saw it hiss close once more and now she was in the hall, back to where she almost got away.

'Can I try and make a run for it?' she thought carefully but quickly blocked the thought out knowing it was stupid. She saw the amount of drones were on the ship before and didn't see herself overpowering them. Besides, where would she go?

"Come on now keep up" Knockout called from the front as he looked behind him.

She kept up with him as she gazed around at the strange walls they passed. It was awfully quite right now but she wasn't complaining.

Looking down at herself once more she watched her new legs move back and forth. Her colours shined in the lighting of the hallway and she had to admit it was a nice look. It almost reminded her of her jumper, which made her think of her mother.

'It's just all so crazy and insane. Something like this shouldn't even exist' she thought to herself.

Knockout looked behind one as he continued on watching to see is she will try to run away again but mostly just watching what she was doing. He could see she was in deep though, looking at things they passed and even at herself. A small smile curled to his lip thinking she might be ok after all.

He still couldn't get over he had actually done it and best of all he was the first ever. He finally might get the respect he deserved from everyone. After what happened though with her attacking and running off like that before he wasn't sure what to expect from Megatron, or how everyone was going to see her.

"Knockout?"

He heard his name said by her and stopped moving "Yes?" Honestly he was quite surprised she called him by his name for the first time.

Sarah hugged herself as she walked beside him "What is….umm Mega-what's his name?"

"Megatron, and don't forget that"

She nodded "What does he want from me?"

"Oh. Well honestly this whole thing was an old friend's and my idea, Megatron just gave approval for it. What he expects from you is a lot I'm afraid but I'll be your teacher so you have nothing to worry about"

Sarah huffed before realizing something "Who's your old friend?"

Knockout could have smacked his face seeing what he just said "Ahh… he was my assistant, and a friend. But he couldn't be with us unfortunately"

"So…" She waited for him to respond since it was obvious what she wanted to know "Where is he?"

"He's offline" He simply answered.

"What does that mean?"

"In human tongue, he's dead"

"Oh" She had no idea how to respond to that "I'm...sorry"

Knockout sighed "It doesn't matter now. Let's not talk about"

Sarah left if at that in case she was going to push his buttons. Losing a friend was never easy, but Knockout acted like he didn't care. At least that is what she saw in his face but his words were slightly different though. However she didn't pounder about this and continued to follow Knockout.

"So I guess now you're in a talkative mood?"

She lightly shook her head "Not really, I was just curios that's all"

Knockout didn't respond to her since they now stopped in front of a large closed door.

"Alright, when we walk in you don't speak at all unless given permission. Let me do all the talking and if Megatron asks you a question you answer truthfully. Understood?

She rolled her optics in annoyance "Jesus Christ, anything else I should know in case I make him throw a tantrum?"

Knockout had to hold in his chuckle "With what happened before when you clawed his face plating I'm going to be surprise if he doesn't blow you across the room with his fusion cannon"

Sarah's optics widen at his answer and gave a small step back away from the door.

"Oh relax I was just kidding" Knockout let out a snicker "Just stay right beside me, keep your mouth closed and you'll be fine"

'I hate fucking rules' she snarled deeply to herself.

Knockout made his way into the large room with Sarah right on his heels. She stared in disbelief at the sight around her. This place was huge, amazing tech things and strangely calm humming sounds she guessed came from engines. She also noticed a lot of drones, who a few and soon more stared at her once she entered.

"Everyone's staring at me" She whispered to him.

"Just ignore them"

'Pff thanks for the help' she thought in announce.

Sarah kept her head low and avoided all the blazing optics on her as she stayed close to Knockout like a lost puppy. Everyone slowly started to come back her and felt herself tremble once again. All she wanted to do was run back to where she was and hide forever.

However her optics were drawn to something else in front of her and wondered for a moment what she was staring at. It was a very large window like thing that covered most of the front of the room. It was then she realized what it was.

The earth's atmosphere was a sight everyone would want as a view in front of their home; it was just breathe taking and a stunning sight for her to see.

'Holy shit it's beautiful'

Knockout suddenly stopped causing her to bump into his back and focus on reality again.

"Lord Megatron, I'm here as requested along with our new addition" He greeted with a bow.

Sarah rolled her optics 'Ass kisser'

Megatron who stared out in the open view of the earth's atmosphere turned around to face the medic and his little project "You took your time"

"I apologise my league, I was just going over a few quick things for her to understand about our race. Though much more is needed to be learned but she'll get there"

Megatron listened in on the medic as he stared at the femme beside him, never taking his optics off her and she noticed this coming from him.

Sarah felt his gaze on her like he was burning a hole through her body. It was like he was the beast and she was the prey, something she always hated in her life.

'Pull yourself together. Don't let him control you, you're much stronger than he thinks' she told herself and boldly stood straight up, locking optics with him and folding her arms over her chest.

Megatron narrowed his optics noticing this change from the femme and let out a chilling chuckle "Step forward"

Sarah gave a quick glance at Knockout who pointed his head forward for her to do so. Annoyed but did as she was told and took only two steps towards Megatron. Looking around herself she noticed more that stood not far away from her.

His figure was very strange to her but that is most likely what she thought. The blue mixed purple colour he had just made him creepier than he already was. Worst of all it looked like he didn't have a face, just a blank black cover that she could have sworn was a TV screen.

'What are you looking at weirdo?' she thought bitterly at him.

His helm tilted, like he heard her what she thought. This kind of creped her out and took her gaze away from him before he started to read her mind.

The next one she spotted looked familiar. Ah, of course. The only one that has acted at least half a gentleman when he tried to help her off her ass but his stare gave her something else.

He stood tall with arms folded and stared at her blankly. If she could guess he was maybe someone else important but tried not to think too hard about this. He just didn't look like the same as before anymore, like he was being loyal and all.

Heavy footsteps got her attention and saw Megatron had stepped closer before he began to circle her. She could feel his deadly stare on her and shifted her feet hoping she didn't have to be here for long.

She got a glimpse of his face and optics and noticed two small claw marks that she had done to him before. Though there was no regret for doing it but Sarah had butterflies in her stomach with just the thought of not knowing what he was thinking.

Megatron said nothing as he circled around her, looking at the design Knockout created and had to give the medic credit since he did a nice job. It was just what was inside it. This, organic turned machine, with a bad attitude and wild actions was something that needed to be dealt with. She will know her place and obey by the rules.

He came back around and stood in front of her and with very rough fully gripped her chin in his servos. Sarah bit back a hiss and just stared at him with an unhappy look and wanted nothing more than to claw at his bucket head again. However she didn't do as her mind screamed knowing it would most likely cause trouble for herself, not that she cared. She felt her head being turned from side to side by him, viewing her like a trophy and let out a half silent grunt at him.

Megatron grinned at the unpleasant look she gave him before finally letting go and stepping back.

"How much do you know about her, Knockout?" His deep voice rumbled in her audios.

"I have her memory core all saved in my system and have only just quickly browsed through it but its all there. There are some missing near the end but this is due to memory loss and she might remember them in time. But I don't think that's important for now" Well honestly he didn't think it was important for Megatron to know but he was very curios to find out still.

Megatron let out a pleased smirk "Very good. We'll know everything than, no secrets"

'Fuck sake' Sarah snarled to herself quietly 'He has no right to know every detail about me, in fact no one does. It's my fucking life!'

"I also hope her behaviour won't be a problem for now on?" He lifted his optics at the doc.

Knockout cleared his throat nervously "A work in progress but I'm sure she will come around. She was only scared is all, right?"

Sarah looked at him when he asked the question and nodded her head silently. It wasn't what she wanted to do, but she could read the look Knockout was giving her like he was trying to say 'Don't do anything stupid'.

"Good" Megatron let a purr out "Now, what is your designation?"

She stared blankly at him for a brief few seconds "My what?"

Snickers were heard around her by the drones that had their backs facing them but listening in on everything said.

"You're name?" Megatron sighed in annoyance.

She felt a little embarrassed not knowing the simple question at first "It's Sarah"

"N-no it's not" Knockout jumped in unexpectedly "That's something I haven't run by her yet"

"Run me by what?" She asked him confused.

Megatron answered for him "You need to forget about you old life and that includes your name. I expect to hear your new designation by tomorrow"

'New designation? New name?'

"Why do I need a new name?"

"You're other name was you're human name, you need another for your new change which I'm sure Knockout will help you think of something. But this Sarah isn't here anymore so you need to forget about her"

It was that moment Sarah snapped "I don't have to change shit! It's not like I asked for this to happen to me"

She clearly heard Knockout groan to himself over her outburst but all she wanted was to keep her name. Was that so much to ask?

Megatron snarled softly at her "I would watch that mouth of yours if I was you. You're in my ranks now and you will learn to accept how things work around here. I don't care how you feel about this. You should consider yourself lucky"

Sarah huffs a fake laugh "Funny, your doc said the same thing"

"M-may I say something?" Knockout jumped in before she really did something that she will regret "Lord Megatron I'll watch over her and make sure she understands about our race and our history. She's just still adjusting to all this, even though I told her not to back talk" The last words were meant for her mostly and she knew it. Sure, she was told not to say anything and let him do the talking but they had to understand who and how she was.

"Well, it would seem she has a bad habit of not listening" He burned his gaze on her.

"That I can agree on" Knockout admitted "I do though think she will soon come around. It's just going to take time, but she won't be any trouble. If you wish I can talk to you about her history?"

Sarah watched as they spoke like she wasn't here anymore. Everything was still filling in for her and it continued to pile on more and more. She could feel her insides twist like she was about to hurl but remembered what Knockout said and didn't freak out about being sick in front of everyone.

Megatron would love to hear everything, to know everything about her and find any weaknesses she might have for him to take full advantage of "We'll continue talking about that later in private Knockout"

"As you wish my league" Knockout gave a short bow once more making Sarah roll her optics at him.

Sarah was more annoyed now. She was no bloody child, and was capable of making her own choices. It just didn't look like anyone cared what she thought and she would have to go along with it. It frustrated her so much.

Megatron bought his gaze at her now "A new designation will be needed for you whether you like it or not so I don't want to hear anymore pathetic whinging from you. Is that understood?"

She stared at him firmly for a good moment, fire burning in her optics trying to make their way through him and make him turn into nothing but ash and dust.

Knockout spoke up "That is understood and I can promise you-"

"I was asking her, Knockout" Megatron cut in sharply "I want to hear her response"

Sarah felt an unusual heat pass through what Knockout said were called vents which strangle sent a calming feeling through her. Was it some kind of stress realise? Whatever the reason, she felt her body cool down slowly.

Licking her lips she looked at the floor not making gaze with anyone "Yeah…"

Her response wasn't good enough "I didn't quite hear that" he stepped closer until he was in hand reach from her "Also don't sulk. You'll make eye contact with me whenever you're in my presents and address me correctly. Now, repeat yourself"

Sarah slowly lifted her optics until they met his own. She saw nothing but evil and didn't need to guess those were killer optics. The red burning gaze locked on the two of them for a short while, trying to read each other's minds or searching for something.

She was not weak or afraid and she will make everyone see that.

"Go…fuck yourself"

Silence was set in the room after her words were said. Drones turned their heads to look at them and see what would happen next. A quite but deep growl could be heard coming from Megatron and his stare grew more dangers at her.

It happened so quick Sarah never saw it coming. Megatron backhanded her and the sound echoed in the room around everyone. The harsh slap caused her neck to snap to the side before looking back at the ground. It wouldn't be the first time she's been slapped or hit, but this time it felt much worse. Probably because it was metal that had hit against her.

Megatron gripped her chin once more in a much harsher grip to face him.

"You'll do well to remember who you serve"

Sarah quick gathered as much saliva in her mouth and spat right in his face. His face twisted at the wet liquid that was given to him and stepped back to wipe it off followed by a dangers snarl.

She held a firm glare at him showing no fear or regret, letting him and everyone know she wasn't going to bow to their mighty leader.

Knockout couldn't believe what had just happened. He was even more surprised Megatron hadn't blown her to pieces yet but just stood at a short distance from them. He was going to have a long and firm talk with her once they return to the medic bay, if she survived.

"Knockout" Megatron's voice hissed deeply "Get this thing out of my site. I expect better results by tomorrow"

Knocokout was stoked that he was letting them leave after all this. But he didn't want to question and grabbed the femme's arm to drag her out. Megatron's deadly glare shared with her own, both showing nothing but hate.

Once Knockout had finally gotten her out of the room silent was set but the drones got right back to work. Dreadwing stepped forward to his leader.

"Lord Megatron, why didn't you punish her?"

"I wanted to, believe me I did" He wiped the remaining saliva from his face "We have to remember she wasn't always one of us, and will need to adjust" His voice lowered to a much darker tone "I won't be so kind the next time she disobeys me, I'll make her beg for mercy and wish for death. She's in Knockout's servos now so it's up to him whether he wants his little project to be successful. Her life hangs by a thread. I expect a better change by tomorrow when I see her next"

Megatron turned to face them "Soundwave. I trust you to watch over them and make sure they don't play any games"

Soundwave gave a nod of acknowledgment at his leader and everything carried on.

Knockout's grip on Sarah's arm was really bothering her and tried to yank herself free with no luck. His grip only tightened and tugged her along behind him.

"Let me go, you fucking prick!" She yelled at him before emotions started to slowly swell in her, tears threatening in her optics but tried to hold it all off.

Knockout didn't answer or even stopped, only continued to drag her to the medic bay where he was going to have a long a hard talk with her. She wanted to act like a stubborn sparkling than he will treat her like one.

She just didn't realize how lucky she was to even walk out of the room after what she'd done to the warlord. He was beside himself, and didn't waste time to get out of there before she did something else to tick him off.

Finally they reached the room and Knockout pulled her in before shoving her further away in the room and locking the door behind him.

He turned to face the unhappy femme with a unamused frown "What the frag was that!?"

Sarah folded her arms and looked away like a child "What was what?"

"Don't play games. Do you have any idea how lucky you are? He could have easily snapped you in two! What part of no talking didn't you understand?"

Sarah just didn't want to talk anymore and just go hide in a dark corner "I don't want to talk anymore so-"

"Suck it up sweet spark because we have a lot of talking to do" He stepped closer to her "What were you thinking?"

"I don't take orders also I don't follow rules, it's how I grew up I can't help it"

"You're gonna have to help it because you now serve him" Kncokout wasn't going to give up on everything because she wanted to be impossible to deal with "For now on you follow the rules and respect Megatron for your own sake"

"….No"

Hearing the simple answer made his chest rumble "You don't have a say. This is your life now, just accept it!"

"No"

"Don't be stupid. You're in my care and you will do as I say"

"No!"

Knockout has had it and suddenly stepped forward grabbing her arm once more. Sarah tried to pray herself free from him but he was much rougher and cruel than before. He then pushed her onto the berth and tried to strap her in once more like she was.

She was put off and never expected it, nor was she prepared. Her joints were still stiff and tried to fight her way out like she always does, but she just didn't have the strength to do so right now.

To her misery Knockout was successful and stepped back away from her as she thrashed on the medic berth.

Tears of anger finally fell from her optics and growled at him "Let me up!"

"No" He mocked her "You're not listening and when you don't this is what will happen. You need to understand how things run around here and nothing will be the same for you"

"Fuck you and fuck everyone here!" She yelled as loud as she could for everyone to hear.

Knockout noticed the fresh tears streaming down her cheek plating and let out a sigh, knowing she was just angry and he needed to take it slow with her. He came around the berth to fully look into her optics and folded his arms.

"You need to get that behaviour under control otherwise thing's aren't going to go well for you" He leaned an elbow on the wall above her "I'll be your guide and teacher all through this so not everything is going to be difficult for you, but for that to happen I need you to trust me"

"I don't trust anyone easily. They have to earn it"

He gave a friendly smirk "You're already sounding like a decepticon"

"Fuck off" She mumbled loudly to him.

"Again with the boring phrases?"

Sarah felt weak as she lay there thinking over everything that has happened to make her life even more screwed. She hated this and just wanted it to be over.

"Just kill me"

Knockout stared at her "What?"

"I said just kill me"

"I'm not destroying you because you asked for it, nor will I ever. If I have to put up with you then so be it, I knew what I was getting myself into and didn't expect it to be an easy task"

"Then find someone else who is willing to have this life"

He rubbed his forehead with his servos "Firstly, just because you survived the transformation doesn't mean other's will. And secondly, why do you want to throw it all away? You haven't even given it a chance and you already want to give up. That's not the human female I saw in those memory cores"

She snorted softly "I thought she was dead?"

"Her body and that life yes, but not what was in her. She's in you now and that's something we could use in the ranks. I can guarantee you that Megatron might be impressed. Not the loud mouth one, the strong one"

"I don't give a shit" She snapped softly "I….I just don't want to be here"

Knockout sighed that sounded a little like annoyance "I'm not going to repeat myself over and over again so you stubborn mind gets the point" He half snapped back at her "If I have to leave you strapped down every day until you get the point then so be it"

Sarah noticed the change of tone in him, seeing his angry side was something she was waiting for. She also saw he wasn't kidding about leaving her strapped in, noticing the half glare he gave above her and his not so happy frown.

There was one thing she knew. She had no choice or any say in anything.

Knockout watched as she was in deep thought and softens his expression "Just don't do anything stupid"

Before she could question he deactivated the metal bars that held her down and she was able to sit up. She did so the second she was free and rubbed her sore wrists, looking away to avoid his stare in hopes it would make her feel just a touch better.

It did nothing.

"Look at me darling"

The way he called her 'darling' did get on her nerve, but kept her mouth shut so she could hear what he was going to say next. She once more did as told, optics slowly moving up his body until they met his own staring back at her.

Knockout stood right in front of her of the berth only a few inches away but enough for her to feel small under his gaze. She hated it.

"I know you've spent most of your life running around, sticking to your own rules and not to be pushed around by others. But here it's much different"

Knockout could see why she was behaving like this, knowing only half what she had to do in the streets and unfortunately came across some moments in her memories where she was beaten, attacked or just barely escaped from rape. But none of that would happen here, if she just did as Megatron said she'll be ok.

"I don't like anything here, it's all so fucked up and completely different from my world" She swung her legs softly as they hung over the edge of the berth "It's all….just crazy. Makes me feel sick, and I know you said the race can't get sick but I'm only telling you how I feel"

"That is called emotions" He said it like she's never heard of it before "It's all building up in you and that's why you feel like that. You need to relax in order to feel better and I can help"

"How?"

Knockout gave a gentle smirk before sitting beside her and lifted both her legs up into his lap.

"What are you doing?" She couldn't help but question the moment his servos touched her.

"Just relax" He softly cooed.

He began to rub her joints in her knees, moving them up and down her legs in a massage style and hummed to himself as he did this. Sarah was about to pull her legs away from him but strangely found herself enjoying the treatment. The feeling of her legs being treated like this lifted a huge weight off her shoulder.

She softly let out a sigh before both her optics closed and leaned her back against the berth's head behind her.

Knockout smirked once more seeing her accepting this and gave a quick chuckle "I see you're enjoying this"

She never gave a response to him besides a soft groan.

This continued for roughly another fifteen minutes before Knockout stopped and looked at her "How do you feel now darling?"

"Tired" She admitted before adding "But better than I was"

"Very good" He slid off the berth and stood in front of her once more "I won't strap you to the berth if you continue like this now, I would rather not go through that again"

She stared at him with half closed optics and vented "Ok, fine"

Knockout gave a pleased smug look "Terrific" he then leaned over to the bench besides the berth to fetch a data pad "Now, something else that needs to be done before we go any further. Your name"

Sarah had a bad feeling that's what was coming next "Do I really have to?"

"I'm afraid so. Besides, Sarah isn't a name you'll come across in our race. It's best to have a new one. On the bright side you get the choose it. At least you have that"

He was right, it was her choice. Maybe the only one she will ever get being here. Changing her name though wasn't going to be very joyful, knowing she will need to get used to it and other's calling her by it.

She sighed as she gave it a thought over, trying to think of anything that she liked to use. Looking at herself she studied her new body and colour Knockout had given her, seeing if anything reminded her of something but nothing came to mind.

Looking to her left she saw the torn and stained orange jumper she had left before seeing Megatron. A small smile appeared as it reminded her of her mother. She remembered the white tag it had been almost worn off but anyone who was to look at it right would see it faded word Bloom written in black.

'Bloom' she thought to herself with a faint smile.

She looked up at Knockout who waited to hear from her "How about Bloom?"

"Bloom? He questioned.

"Yeah, I mean it was my surname. I would still like to keep something from my old life"

Knockout hummed at the idea "Well it's simple, elegant and feminine, but's it's a little too short"

"I thought it was my choice?" She couldn't help but sigh in annoyance.

"I'm just trying to help you out love. Try think of two different things, and these can be from your old life if you wish. This is a name you're going to keep so you want to be creative about it"

He did have a point. However she wasn't sure what else to think off that suited Bloom.

OrangeBloom? SkinBloom? MetalBloom? RoboBloom?

Thinking these over almost made her laugh. They sounded way too silly; she needed to think of something else.

'I hate this. I feel like I'm going to rip apart the moment I say my new name, it just doesn't feel right. All I have is my blood stained jumper….'

"Blood…" She didn't realise she said it out loud.

"Pardon?" He narrowed his optics.

She straightens her back and looked up at him "BloodBloom….is that acceptable?"

Knockout rubbed his chin and crooked his head to the side "Hmm…not bad. I believe that's acceptable. So were calling you BloodBloom now Bloomy?"

She snorted at the given nickname "Don't you dare give me nick names"

"Can't help myself" His smirk brightens "It's good to see a side of you that doesn't involve anger or foul language"

"Don't get used to it"

She watched him chuckle before written down a few things and continued to do a few more tests with her. She strangely liked the name. It suited her and still gave a remembrance of her past. Not everything was her history was going to be torn from her; she will find ways to keep pieces.

'BloodBloom' she thought the name over and over again through her mind, a very faint and gentle smile appeared on her face for the first time being here.

The new name was just the start, and she knew it.

Sarah is no more. BloodBloom is now in the picture.
