Surrounded by battle cruises, her audios adjusted to the blaring-warning sound. Her optics adjusted from the red flaring lights that. It reminded her of her of the battle back on earth as a human.

Shaking her helm, she couldn't let those memories flood her processor. Not yet atleast. Snapping out of her thoughts by the sound of drift who was currently looking at her in worried.

"Pulse diagnosis! " Drift called out to her.

Pulse nodded her head, pulling up the screen in front of her." Jets are full functional. Weapons are are.." Her voice stalled by another voice.

"Shields are down!" Springer called out.

"What?!" Kup shouted the question in shock.

"They're down! I'm trying to bring them up.. I can't seem to interface!" Springer tried to figure out what was going on with the shields.

"Navigation is out" Pulse called out, the list of errors were beginning to fill her visor. The ship began to ruttle. The ship damaged information began to light up red. " Hall been destroyed!" She informed.

"No chance at full shields!." Springer groans as he was getting shocked by the systems. "But i think i can bring up all l-l-localized defense grids." Springer said in pain, leaning toward the screen.

"Springer!"Pulse called over her shoulder. "Let me take over."

"What?! No way!" Springer shook his head, letting his pride get to himself.

"Get us out of here now!" Kup ordered.

"Engines are out everything's out" Blur said very quickly, his voice hissed at the last word.

"Lock 'em out!" Kup commanded.

"My head's all confusing… It's the 'cons, they're in our system." Blaster looked at blurr. " I can't.. We're all.." Blaster didn't get a chance to finish his words when everyone but pulses shut down on them.

To their shock,their heads snapped toward the emerald femme. Her cassette sitting by the computer panels, rewiring the systems while she had logged, no bonded herself to the ship.

Her visor flashed each time. Fighting off the decepticons. Her lips pulled a smirk. "Pulse! Disconnect!" She ignored kups orders, Her fingers typing away on the keys.

Her optics shifted on side to the other. She wasn't gonna let them beat her. She knew who was at work and she wasn't gonna allow to be beaten. "You're bonded with the ship, we take another hit.." Kup voice stalled when he saw the cassettes glare at him.

"I cut out now then we won't have no chance!" Pulse said, her optics glaring toward the screen, able to take over the jet systems as she sped up the ship toward cybertron. "Controls are intermittent…" Pulse said.

She saw one of the ship's controls turning blue as she pressed the button, activating all control to the shielding. "Brace Yourselves!" Kup commanded.

Everyone followed the ordered, grabbing onto something. Pulse watched the shieling able to wraps itself half around around the back of the shield as they slammed into cybertrons grounds, skidding forward a bit before she lost all controls to the ship.

With heavily vents, drift quickly stood up and went to pulses side, grabbing her shoulder lightly. Her visor snapped into her helm as she looked up at drift. "You and springer did it." Drift said calmly, a soft smile on his lips.

"That's good.. Glad everyone safe." Pulse mumbled, the cord from her left arm disconnected from the computer and slipped back into the compartment before she leaned toward the side.

"Pulse!" Drift called out, catching the femme into his arms. Everyone stood up rather quickly, their optics locked onto the femme frame.

The sound of pedes caught her attention, the warm was lulling her toward recharge but she shook her helm lightly, trying to push aside the tiredness that threaten to force her into recharge, a moan escaped her lips indicated she was awakening up.

The sound stopped. "Pulse.." Drift voiced called out. Feeling her frame shift before she touched the cold flooring with her pedes. His servo's remaining on her shoulders to keep her frame from swaying.

Her optics flickered a few times before fulling onlining. "Where are we?" She questioned, looking around in the halls.

"Cybertron, kid." Kup called out with a smirk.

Her optics widen in shock. It all came back to her. The ship was hacked into and she fought against it. A smirk formed on her lips. She won that battle for now.

The sound of voices were heard from down the hall as they walked down it, together as one. With kup in front. Perceptor and blurr took kups left side while Drift, blaster and springer took kups right and roadbuster, his shoulders scraping against the ceiling took behind.

As for pulse, she was right were she needed, beside drift. The great sword resting on drift's shoulders while her arms were crossed over her chested.

"Of course, They didn't, kid. I told you, messages are a waste of time .. Who's in Charge of this mess?" Kup spoke up, looking rather annoyed this time.

"Pulse…" Ironhide vented in shock before he pushed his way through the ground toward the emerald femme.

"Hey hide."Pulse said softly, waving her servo. Her spark leaped a little at the sight of his frame. By the time, hide reached her. His servo's wrapped around her waisted and lifted her up, spinning slightly before holding her close with his arms under her aft. She laughed lightly toward him. "Hide, missed me that much?" She asked.

"Ya don't know the half of it, Pulse." Ironhide stated, grumbling a little before he lowered her down on her pedes, his frame turning around before he slung his arm around her waist to keep her close.

He hasn't noticed the frame change? Pulse thought to herself, sighing softly in annoying but he wasn't look at her, but toward jazz and kup.

"Mess?" Jazz spoke up, a glare in his visor was shown.

"You got another name for it." Kup scoffed. " So i take it you're in charge then." Kup questioned, moving his servo's to his hips.

Pulse moved from ironhide arms and walked toward kup before standing beside him. Hide optics widen before narrowing in annoyance. Something he didn't know what was going on.

"This is Primes unit." Catching both kup and jazz attention on her. "If he's not here. I thought prowl was second in command." Pulse pointed out, her arms crossed but her index pointed out in thought.

"In particular situations, there's a shift in the chain of command." Jazz said without an accent. Pulse knew he was angry or he wouldn't of lost his accent in the first place.

"He's out, you're in?" Kup questioned the authority here.

"We each have our speciality." Jazz pointed out.

Pulse rolled her golden optics before the landed on ironhide. She could see the concern in ironhide optics, turning her helm to side slightly but still watched kup and jazz.

This argument is pointless.She thought to herself. She felt the twin cassettes lean against her legs. Their arms crossed but annoyance were on their face-plates but their optics were on ironhide.

This won't go well. She sighs softly.

"Well, you're 'speciality' could use some work, we walked right in without a single sentry in sight." Kup pried into it, a smirk on his lips.

"I've got it covered." Jazz said, ignoring what kup trying to do.

"That's what you special ops training is tell you, is it?" Kup said, testing jazz patients by jabbing his digit thumb over his shoulder.

"Among other thing…"Jazz said, narrowing his optics behind his visor.

"Such as?" Pulse questioned, causing jazz to look at her.

"You don't want to know." Jazz warned.

She heard a groan and a chuckle, looking toward the two red bots, one had his black servo on his black helm. "Oh no." He said, his covering one his his optics.

The other however had a giant smile on his face with amusing optics. "This never get's old." He said, laughing in excitement.

"Try it, you couldn't get within two feet of me." Kup was now tempting jazz, edging him on and springer wasn't helping when he walked forward to jazz.

Leaning over, the tan and green mech looked into jazz visor. "Uh uh. I'm a whole lot bigger than you, you know how this is gonna end"Springer said, now wishing he didn't.

Blur rushed toward springer side when jazz suddenly grabbed springers arm, flipping him over toward the side. But before blur could throw a punch, jazz spun around. Sending his servo into blur cheek plate, causing the blue and white mech to fall onto his back but a hand caught jazz arm.

Pulse smirked, pulling jazz toward the swing and flipping him into his back but jazz caught himself with pedes, pulling his arm away from her grasp. Pulse twisted her waist, sending her knee joint into jazz jaw, causing the mech to stumble back and wipe the purple energon from his mouth.

Visor was locked onto visor. Cheers from her cassettes were heard, edging her on as she charged at jazzed, swing her fist toward his abdomen, but jazz caught her first, twisting her wrist as he dance around her, pulling her arm back against her back and held it there while a balster was raised toward kups face.

"Special ops."Kups pointed out with a grin.

Jazz releases pulse arm as she stepped forward, bring her servo up and rubs the wrist joint lightly. Jazz looked toward her with a smirk on his lips. "Not bad for a femme." Jazz turned toward kup.

"Thanks." Pulse said, almost scoffing as she walks toward springer and blurr. Watching them rub their helms and cheek.

"It's not that there weren't any sentries. You just didn't see them." Jazz lower the blaster. "You didn't see them because i didn't want you to." Jazz stated a matter of fact.

"Cloakers." Pulse said calmly, shuttering her optics in amazement.

"Mirage!" Jazz shouted before looking toward pulse then toward the mech that had appeared between drift and blaster. Of course, blaster jumped a little to the side. Almost aiming his blaster to mirage.

Kup hummed softly in annoyance. "Now if we're done proving ourselves…" Jazz turned, walking ahead of them "There's something you need to see." Jazz stated calmly.

Pulse heard pedes stomp toward her, her helm turned toward the furious ironhide before he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her close, face nearly eachother. "What the frag was that about?!" He nearly shouted, fear lace in his tone.

"I jumped in to protect my team."Pulse pointed out.

"Yer team" Hide gestured toward the wreckers. "Is that why you have been MIA for so fragging long?!" Hide snapped the question.

Pulse narrowed her optics, her visor snapped over her optics as her engines began to growl. Raising her servo and jabbing ironhide crack chassis with her digit. She could feel the optics watching her.

"You wanna know where i was,. Hide? " She spoke lowly. " How about the fact i was on Turmoil ship!" She snapped, causing ironhide to step back.

Ironhide face harden, his optics narrowing toward her."Why the frag were you there?! Last we heard from you.. You were in Simfur temple, saying you need to find something but then everything cut out on your end." Ironhide argued.

"I was at simfur temple but i was jumped by two decepticons" Pulse said calmly, crossing her arms."I was brought onto turmoil ship by a decepticon and from there i worked as a decepticon to get back into the ranks of the autobots." Pulse explained.

Ironhide face began to soften up. "What happen to ya then?" Hide asked, his servo's gently squeezing her shoulders lightly in comfort.

"You wouldn't understand." She stated, pulling away from ironhide before she joined up with the rest of the wreckers. She could feel his optics watching her with sadness.

Pulse headed outside, lost in her own thoughts of what just happen. She knew ironhide was concern for her but she didn't expect that to happen. Small arguments shouldn't bother her.

Since when did arguments bother her. Kup's and jazz arguments was a bit annoying but amusing at the same time. Arguments with Dai atlas and her was stressful. But relationship arguments, that something she never understand.

Making her way outside, she wonder a few feet or so away from the base. All she wanted was to get away from ironhide and the group to rethink her processor.

"Another argument with the Commander about you joining the mission?" Wade said, leaning against the wall with his ankles crossed and his arms against his chest.

"What's it to you, W?" Z asked harshly, looking over her shoulder.

"Couldn't help overhearing it. You know he's right. We need hacker on base and not on the field." Wade said, agreeing with the commander.

"You and everyone here thinks i can't do a fucking job right out on the field." Z said harshly, spinning around on her feet to face the dark tone man.

"It's not that we think you can't do a job out there. "Wade stated, pushing off the wall to face her completely.

"After you went missing, Z, we think we can protect you with you in here." Todd pointed out, walking toward them

"Oh what…" Z brown eyes harden. " I'm fucking made of glass now?" She asked coldly.

"That's not what they're saying." Edward said in concern.

"Oh then please do tell me what you all are saying?" Z asked coldly, crossing her arms.

"What they are saying is that…" Alice began to speak, looking toward Z in fear.

"We think you're more mentally stabled behind the computer then out on the field."Sarah finished for alice, pointing toward the control room.

"Great.. I get capture for three weeks, held against my will and now i'm being treated like fucking glass by my own team mates because they believe i have Post Trauma Stress disord." Z stated calmly, Pointing out the reason behind the actions.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes held the guilt in them before lowering their heads in shame, mumbling their disagreement. Z nodded her head and turn around, heading toward the mess hall but she stopped and glared at them.

"You know.. " She watched them raised their heads up." We're a team.. A team consist of everyone." Z began to point out." A team don't treat another with special treatment" Z stated harshly.

"Z!" Her eyes snapped toward the commanding officer. "Go take a walk." Victor ordered, pointing toward the door.

"Go take a walk, yourself commander. " She turned back around and held a hand up. "Know what.. Do me and every fucking one a favor.. You want to leave me here, fine. Don't fucking asking me to come save your asses because i'm behind a damn computer."Z snapped harshly, walking away from the hall.

She could feel the eyes watching her back in worry.

A ping of regret ached her spark as she sighs softly. Another human memory that she wish never happened. She was so angry that day. Moving to sit down on the metal slab, she looked toward her servo's in sorrow.

She was so focus on her memory she didn't hear the sounds of shuffling behind. But she did raised her helm up to see a shadow appearing behind her. She turned around rather quickly, pulling her blade out.

Her visor flashed bright as her blade neared the ugly insecticon. It screeched at her. Twisting her waist, her blade was brought into the throat cables of the insecticon, slicing it helm off.

But what caught her off guard was a second one coming at her. Unprepared, she was about to move when a white blur shot forward infront of her. Venting lightly, she knew who it was. "Drift." She said softly.

Drift looked over his shoulder and smirked before looking at the insecticon. "Hello" He greeted the second insecticon.

The insecticon looked at him, tilting it's helm then straighten it before hissing toward drift and pulse. Drift pulled his right sword out rather quickly, watching the blade slice through the neck cables of the second insecticon.

Pulse watched the helm rolled beside the first before another hiss was heard." Stay down." Drift ordered, his helm tilting toward the side as a white line of a bullet shot past drift helm and into the third insecticon.

Watching the helm of the insecticon explode into pieces. Drift held his servo out to her. Pulse looked up at him before taking his servo into hers, being lifted up onto her pedes before being greeting with a smile.

"Guess i owe you once more." Pulse said calmly, a smile pulled on her lips.

"Let's just call this one a favor." Drift stated calmly toward her.

"I don't know.. The debt seems pretty much like a favor." Pulse pointed out.

"Alright then, how about going on patrol with me to pay off that debt." Drift said, almost seeming he was flirting with her.

"Sure thing, Knight." She said teasingly, transforming into her ground mode before she drove off.

Drift chuckled softly, shifting into his alt mode and driving after her.

What pulse didn't realized was ironhide was watching them that hole time. Concern and angry was filling ironhide optics, maybe even jealousy. Pulse knew ironhide could wait, a mission was more important.
