Thank you everyone for being so patient! I'm SO SORRY this chapter is short but i wanted the battle to be in a separate chapter. I also apologize for any mistakes made, i'm posting this without letting my Beta get to it first because i haven't posted in so long. So here is a little taste, i'll try to have the next chapter up tomorrow! But i would like to say thanks to Bee4ever for all the ideas you gave me for this chapter, THANK YOU.

I hope you enjoy ~

"Lennox are you serious?" I groaned, of all the things I was ever sent out to d-

"Oh quit whining Delyia," Lennox laughed at me, "It's not that bad. All you're doing is going to a few stores and picking up things we'll need at the base. It isn't that bad, only maybe 3 or 4 things at the most." He handed me a list.

I read the list aloud, "Floor cleaner JUMBO SIZED? Candy and snacks? Toilet paper? Car wash?"

Disbelief scrawled over my face I rolled my eyes, "Lennox are you sure this isn't for you?"

He shook his head, "it's what the soldiers wanted, I swear."

I huffed, defeated. "Well how am I going to get there? I don't have a car."

Lennox smiled, "Follow me."

We walked down the twisting hallways until we reached the Autobots hangar; stepping inside Lennox yelled getting everyones attention,

"Who's going to take Delyia to get some supplies?!"

All of the Autobots stepped forward to offer their help; Lennox snickered while I blushed, neither of us expected them to step forward to readily.

"Well atleast we know she's well liked on this base." Lennox smiled. "However, as much as I'd like to send all of you out, that would be suspicious and we need Optimus, Ironhide, and Jazz on base for a meeting. So, twins I think you two should go, it'll help you get to know the city better."

The twins grinned, "Aw hell yeah!" they both screamed in unison.

"Wait, which one is the lady gonna ride in?" Mudflap questioned.

I shrugged, "Which ever, I don't mind."

Skids jumped up, "I think she'll b'more comfortable if she rides in my cabin." Skids wriggled his metallic eyebrows.

"Nah man, she'd be more relaxed wi' me!" Mudflap buffed up.

"You dumb man!" Skids tackled Muflap, wrestling him to the ground.

I waving my hands I yelled, "Alright! I'll ride with skids on the way there, and then I can ride back in Mudflap. So everyone gets a chance!"

The twins grumbled and agrees, shifting to their alt-forms. I hopped in Skids and we took off to the city. The ride there consisted of me telling them about human life and why we bathed as much as we do. For a highly intelligent alien species, they really were in the dark about humans and how we lived. Out of the two, I couldn't decide which one I liked better; they both made me laugh, a lot. Beneath their strange exterior we're two regular, as regular as robots can be, Autobots that were all fighting for the same reason. Skids, Mudflap and I all arrived in the city about an hour of driving, I had to lead the twins around because we had no idea where these stores were that lennox was attempting to guide us too.

We spent about another half an hour driving, lost; we finally found the store we were looking for and I quickly hopped out.

"I'll be right back!" I told them.

I glanced around the street, feeling watched, but no one was paying any attention. A police car sat on the corner, the officer inside watching people as they passed and citizens clogged up the sidewalks. Shrugging it off I went inside to buy the items. After I bought what I could, I jogged out of the store and up to Skids, I threw the things in his trunk then jumped in Mudflap. As we drove, Mudflap spoke up,

"So, what d'ya want your nickname t'be girly?"

I snorted, "Nickname? Whats wrong with my real name?"

"Well," Mudflap started, "I can't call you Delyia all the time! Sounds too damn formal! What about DD, er, what about possum or somethin'! "

"What kind of nicknames are those?"

"I – " Mudflap crashed into something, causing us to fly, roll and tumble down a dirt road.

Thank God we made it out of the city before something like that happened. I thought graciously as I wiped the blood from my forehead. A small cut formed itself in the middle, along with a few minor scrapes and newly forming bruises dotting the rest of my body. I groaned, stepping out of the twin as he transformed; his brother was already heading for us.

"W-what happened?" I massaged my now pounding head.

That's when I saw the police car, sitting in idle, a few meters away; across its side read "To punish and enslave." Panic seared through my veins as my brain put two and two together, Decepticon. As if reading my thoughts, the car transformed into Barricade. He snarled at us and Mudflap and Skids stood between Barricade and I.

"You ain't getting' our girl!" Skids yelled.

"Yeah ya want her?! You gotta get through us first!" Mudflap smugly shot out.

"Guys you have to call for back-up." I whispered, the twins nodded.

"My pleasure." Barricade hissed, bearing his weapons.

"Come on then ya pussy!" Skids whooped.

Barricade stormed towards us, and my heart sank.

Why do I feel like this isn't going to end well?
