Knockout'sFanGirl221: Me: Ratchet, do you remember that one party back on Cybertron? With Arcee and the high-grade energon? And how you ended up when Mirage found out?
Ratchet: I suppose we can skip today...
Me: Good choice *snickers*
Ironhide: What did you do...?
Me: Ask the twins *cackles evily* Oh and ClawStrike, it's safe now!
Ratchet: I never said anything about her.
Me: Nevermind...RUN!

Techna and Starscream approached the Autobot ship from behind. They heard a groan of pain and dragging sounds. Techna peeked around the ship to see Shockwave dragging a red mech towards his ship. Techna's spark clenched as one of his minions brought out a yellow one as well. She turned away and squeezed her optics shut. Starscream stared at her in extreme worry.

"He has the twins, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker." She said sorrowfully. Starscream frowned, they were trouble makers but good friends. They'd gotten into all sorts of trouble together before the war. Starscream placed a servo on her shoulder comfortingly.

"We will rescue them." He said softly. Techna sighed and nodded before they snuck up to the entrance of the Autobot ship. If there were anymore that Shockwave hadn't found then it'd be more help. When Techna rounded a corner she saw five wounded Autobots on the floor. She ran up to the closest one, Ironhide, and shook his shoulder gently.

"Ironhide please get up!" she pleaded. Ironhide was like a guardian and father to her. After the war started he tried to protect her in battle. Ironhide groaned before fully waking up and slamming Techna against the wall. When he saw who it was he released her.

"Techna? What are you doing here?" he asked painfully. There was a deep gash in his side that was leaking energon.

"We're rescuing you guys." Starscream answered as he walked up. "Shockwave currently has Sunstreaker and Sideswipe in his ship. Are there any more of you than who is in here?"

"There's me, the twins, Elita One, Chromia, Jazz, Prowl, and Mirage and that's it." Ironhide answered gruffly. "But aren't you still with the Decepticons?"

"I'm in exile but Starscream's still stuck in their ranks." Techna growled. Ironhide narrowed his optics in anger. "You stay here and help the others while we go save them…wait there are only five of you in here. Where's Prowl?"

"He must be with Shockwave." Chromia answered as she sat up slowly. Techna clenched her fists and stood up.

"Everyone stay here. I have some business with Shockwave. Some personal business." Techna ordered before storming out of the ship. That scientist has gone too far. He's hurting her friends and is doing Primus-knows-what to them. She activated her dual flame swords (since she never really uses her blasters) and walked into Shockwave's ship with Starscream following suit. A shot rang out and zoomed past Techna. She spun towards the assailant and ran at him angrily. Starscream and Techna fought off the drones that had left with Shockwave. Once they were killed off they heard clapping. They turned to see the one-optic'd Decepticon approaching.

"Well, well if it isn't Techna and Starscream. Now to what do I owe for this visit?" He greeted. Techna growled at him, her optics gleaming with hate.

"You hurt my friends, Shockwave. And now you're going to pay." She hissed. Her servos turned into blasters and she began to shoot at him. Shockwave dodged and began to fight the two seekers. At one point Techna was shot and she flung back against the wall. She grunted in pain when strain was placed on her sensitive wings. She stood up and activated her flaming swords, but she didn't get the chance to attack before two shots rang out and beheaded Shockwave. When the carcass fell to the ground she was shocked to see the wounded twins limping over. Techna and Starscream ran to help them as they collapsed.

"Well if it isn't Techy and Screamer." Sideswipe chuckled. Techna rolled her optics at the nicknames. There were footsteps running towards them so Techna and Starscream placed the twins and aimed their weapons at the noise. Optimus and Bumblebee rounded the corner, weapons drawn as well.

"At ease," Optimus said, seeming relieved. "What happened in here?"

"Showdown with Shockwave; they're lucky we shot him when he wasn't looking." Sunstreaker answered with a smirk. Optimus turned to Starscream who looked a little nervous.

"Thank you for helping Techna, Starscream." Optimus said. Starscream looked a little relieved and shrugged.

"No problem, but I should leave before Megatron and fragging Knockout realize I'm gone." Starscream growled the last part. Everyone looked at him in surprise. "Megatron replaced with Knockout as the SIC. I can't be one of you guys because they put a tracker in my arm. They'd find you guys if I went switched sides, sorry." Optimus placed a servo on his shoulder.

"Nothing to be sorry about, I understand." Optimus said. Techna remembered that Prowl was also on the ship and her optics widened in fear.

"What is it?" Starscream asked her. She ignored him and ran off down the hall until she found Prowl alone in a room. He was probably the worst out of all the new arrivals. She knelt down and placed a servo on his shoulder.

"Prowl! Prowl are you okay?" she asked. He didn't answer but she knew he was still alive. Somehow she had to get him to the others and fast. She turned toward the door and screamed, "Optimus!" Optimus and Starscream ran in to see her trying to help Prowl. Optimus bent down and picked up the fallen comrade.

"We have to get them all to base for medical treatment immediately." Optimus announced with worry. They went back to the Autobot ship and helped them out too. They weren't in as bad of a shape as the twins and Prowl but were pretty shaken. When the ground bridge opened Techna checked her inner clock to find out that it was one in the morning. No wonder she was so exhausted and that it was so dark. Everyone went through except for her and Starscream. She turned to him and pulled him into a tight hug.

"Thanks for helping tonight." She whispered. He hugged her back before looking down at her.

"Anything for you, sweetspark." He answered before kissing her quickly. They said goodbye and Techna went through the ground bridge. Brains and Wheelie were on the balcony grinning (they slept on the couch since they didn't have a smaller room). She rose an optic ridge at them.

"What?" she asked.

"Techna and Starscream sitting in a tree K-I-" they started singing.

"Shut up!" she hissed while her cooling fans turned on. "You learned that song from Miko didn't you?" They nodded. Techna narrowed her optics at her brothers before heading off to the med bay where the new comers were gathered. Ratchet was working hard on Prowl, since he was in the worst condition. Jazz watched him with fear in his optics. The only other Autobots was Optimus. Everyone else was asleep in their quarters. Optimu was talking with Elita One, who seemed really happy to see him. Techna smiled. Orion Pax had once confessed to Techna that he had feelings for the femme. Optimus turned to Techna as she walked up.

"Techna, will you go wake up Arcee and inform her that her sisters are here?" Optimus requested. Chromia snapped her helm towards them so fast that Techna swore she thought it would fly off.

"'Cee's here too?" she asked excitedly. Techna nodded.

"Yeah, same with Bumblebee and Bulkhead." Techna answered before turning to Optimus. "I'll go tell her."

"And afterwards get some recharge, ya look exhausted." Jazz said from his berth. Techna smiled at the mech and walked out of the room. When she knocked on Arcee's door the femme opened it with an annoyed expression.

"What is it, Techna?" Arcee groaned tiredly. Techna chuckled lightly.

"Well I was going to tell you that the rest of your trine has landed but never mind if you're too tired." Techna said. Arcee's optics snapped fully open.

"Elita and Chromia are here? Who else?"

"Jazz, Ironhide, Mirage, the twins, and Prowl also landed. Prowl is extremely injured because of Shockwave but the twins, Starscream, and I took care of him." Arcee's expression brightened even more at the mention of Mirage. She ran past Techna and towards the med bay. Techna sighed happily and went to her own room, feeling drained from the day's events for a well deserved recharge.

I was thinking about only having the twins buuuuuuut decided "Hey, why not have more bots?"

Prowl: Why am I the dying one?
Me: *snickers evily*
Prowl: *backs away awkwardly*
