"bumblebee your awake how do you feel" My voice was so shaky. "Like the pit... that's not my voice...why why cant I say words...what happen." the sounds off beeps an whirls where filled with panic. The young mech began to thrash around , "where am I... whats going on" I lay my hand on the mechs shoulder in attempts to calm him him down. I thought for a moment then took a deep intake and vented slowly. "you are in a triage facility. you where captured by cons and left in pretty bad condition. lucky are best medic was able to stabilize you. although sadly you voice box was taken by megatron." the mech seemed to calm a bit but was now in sate of disbelief. he covered his mouth with his servo. he sat there like that for a moment then slid his battle mask on. "You don't need to do that we can still understand you." He looked at me and then quickly looked away. "I don't care i'm keeping it up" "very well, but you still have to take your enrgon here," I say giving the mech a cube. He nodded and took his mask down and took a sip. his optics widen a bit and he looks back to me "its cold how did that happen?" "I have my ways" I smile. The mech smiled and took another sip. he then started to swirl the enrgon around in the cube and looked at it with a twinge of gult in his optics. "something wrong bumblebee?" I ask. "well it's just i feel bad. You know my name but I haven't learned yours yet" "oh! I am lilac frost I will be your attending nurse." "Lilac frost that's a pretty name. A pretty name perfect for a sweet femme like you," the mech said almost with a purr. " thank you now finish up so we can discusses about your recovery and what is going to happen okay."

What is going to happen? I was captured by those I considered family. "My family," the words tumble from my lips. frozen tears outline my face plating. "my family is team prime," I say getting to my peds. "Optimus, Ratchet, bumblebee, the kids, and even Arcee, Bulked, and Smoke screen their my family and i will not let them be harmed," my spark pulsed with determination. I Knew i had to get up and fight for once in my life no more letting fate deiced.

I looked around and notice flame charger had left the door open that was my chance. I slowly stepped out into the hallway. It was obvious which way Flame charger when from the trail of scorched foot prints on the floor. I knew it would be a bad idea to follow them, and would end in me being caught, but that was the best chance I had. Quickly I ran along the scorch floor hoping it would lead me to a chance of escape. The marks end up at a door to what seem a control room , yet the ground bridge controls seemed to be absent. I look around the room and there standing in front of control stand was flame charger.

"scrap, ... um was it this button or that switch," Flame charger said obviously frustrated.

"he never was a very smart mech," I whispered aloud. apparently it was to loud because soon after flame charger turned around to see me peeking through the door. If he didn't look mad before he sure was now.

"you where never really good at following orders where you," the flaming mech said in a frustrated grumble. He slowly inched towards me and, as any sensible escaped femme would do, I darted as fast as I could the other way.

"GET BACK HERE YOU STUPID LITTLE FEMME," flame charger screamed in the distance.

"scrap, scrap, scrap what was I thinking," I say in huffs trying to keep my speed. I could hear metallic footsteps every where. If primus was listening he would give me luck to find the controls to the ground bridge. Of course that wouldn't mean he would make it easy. laser fire began to fill my surroundings.

"scrap, scrap, scrap," I mutter aloud trying to dodge. I form plates of ice on my arms for a make shift shield. Luckily for me most vehicons can't aim, unlucky for me I kept running into dead end after dead end. I began to loses steam. system Warnings went off. I was low on energon and energy.

"I cant keep this up," I say entering a door in attempts to hide.

"well well what do we have here," a smooth flirty voice called, " a pet with out her leash." A red mech sat on a berth holding a buffer in one servo and in the other an energon prod. I had entered into the med bay right to the servos of their medic.

"your are a pretty little thing arnt you. no wonder those two wanted you to join so bad.," he purred.

"I- I um," I was frozen.

"well looks like a scraplets got your voice voice-box," the medic jest with a crooked smile.

"what do want con," I manege to say.

"I see you can talk," his voice was playful, " Now as for what I want. First call me by my name knockout. got that sweet spark?"

"fine knockout now what?" I ask a little annoyed

"hmmm well I was going to start a buffing session until you interrupted me. You should be punished, but I don't really want to deal with that. I don't really want to deal with that primus forsaken mimic either. tell me what do you think should happen?" kockout's red optics starred me down. I could hear metallic footsteps from out side get closer.

"you better deiced quickly company is coming," kockout said with another purr.

"where is the ground bridge control room?" I ask in the most demanding voice possible.

" take a left and then turn onto the second corridor on your right, and the last room at the end is the ground bridge room," he replied nonchalantly. I looked at the medic with suspiciously.

"whats wrong don't trust me," the medic asked inspecting his claws.

"frankly I don't. why would you help me?"

"because its boring around here and I would enjoy seeing mimic trying to keep cool as his little plan unraveled," the medic answered with a smile that hid twisted fantasies behind it. I slowly walk backwards out the door and heavily sighed in relief. I look left and went to follow the medic direction, it being the only thing I got.

Of course I was met with more laser from vehicons, they where every where on this ship. Yet quantity did not make up for quality. A quick dash hear and there and I easily made it the the ground bridge room. Of course it was guarded by two more vehicons. I had to think of some way to distract them. I had no more energy to make something with ice no way I could take both of them on. I looked down and realized I still had my masker on. I took it off and threw it down the hall way. The vehicons heard and went running, giving me a chance to slip in ad lock them out.

I went to type in coordinates closer to where the base would be when I could see where mimic signal in the arctic.

"what is he doing their?" I wonder aloud filled with worry. I typed coordinates to his location, and activated the portal. I walk thru and was met with a blizzard of a snow storm. Then i could hear my voice in the distance.

"how dose it feel to see you lilac frost be the one to end you," the voiced laughed. I knew it was mimic. I filled with anger. The cool of my surrounding mixed with the sight of mimic gave me energy I didn't realized I had. I aim and shoot blasting mimic off of ratchet who he had been pining into the snow. Mimic, now anger, looked up at me.

"I don't know mimic how dose it feel," I say aiming again. Now mimic was filled with both anger and annoyance.

"looks like flame charger cant follow any thing," the shape shiftier said returning to his original form. slowly I walk toward him still holding my aim.

"lilac what, what's going on?" Ratchet asked voice weak. Realizing the condition Ratchet was in I had to think fast. I Blasted the ground in front of Mimic and formed an spiked wall to prevent him from hitting us.

"Is any one at the base. we need a ground bridge stat," I call in over the com-link

"Understood," I heard Optimus voice in return. A portal open up shortly after and Optimus came thru. I could see mimic fly off as Optimus came to help me get Ratchet back to base. we set him down and began the defrosting processes.

"lilac," ratchet called, "Who was that tell me the truth." Ratchet's voice was cold. I look at my peds and frown.

"he... he was another mental. not just any mental," I say sitting down next to ratchet, "He was my best friend. some one I consider to be my futuer spark mate."

Ratchet's optics nearly popped out of his helm.

"I thought you where the only one left," ratchet said flabbergasted. I shook my head.

" I thought so too but two of the other young-lings had served. him and another who was like my brother. The two are now named mimic, and flame charger for good reason. flame charger Is a hot head, some who doesn't need a reason to fight other then he wants to. His ability is opposite of mine. He controls fire and can withstand extreme hot temperatures. mimic well..." I begin to blush a bit, " He is very coo,l calm, collected, and a very smooth talker. He knows whats to say and when to say it. His ability is mimicking any thing and everything. Ability, looks, voice, act all of it he dose it perfect well dose it perfect from his knowledge."

"so the lilac this last time around was mimic," ratchet said connecting the dots. I nod and let out a sigh.

"I hope he didn't get any sensitive information," I look over to the medic who shook his head.

" I'm not sure," he replied.

"If he has I'm sure we can find a way to handle what ever he might of found," Optimus, Who had been listening to the whole thing, added.

I nod in agreement then a thought popped into my head.

"scrap i hope he didn't say anything to bumblebee. scrap i need to talk to him where is he?" I ask in a panic

Optimus thought for a moment, " I believe he is in his quarters now."

"thank you," I say running towards the hallway. the only thing on my processor is telling bumblebee what happened, and how I felt.
