Heya Readers. So I know it's been a while since my last update, and I know I said I was hoping to finish season 1 of TFP. But with everything that has happened in this year, I was really struggling mentally and emotionally. So I don't know if I could even finish the first season this year, I will of course keep working on it till the end, but for now I'm not sure how soon it will be.

And I haven't forgotten about the Nora's youth stories, I am still working on those!

I thank you all for all the love and support, it really means a lot. And I hope you enjoy chapter 10!

Miko, Jack, Raf and I were all sitting in front of the TV. They were watching me play Breath of the Wild, and right now, I was trying to defeat a gold lynel. Bumblebee and Bulkhead were also watching from behind couch, "You have to time it Nora!" Miko shouted excitedly.

"I know!" I shouted back, trying to focus while dodging the attacks. I was waiting for my opening, as the lynel kept swinging it's flameblad down at me. Finally I back-flipped just in time, triggering the slow-mo mode.

"Now's your chance!" Raf smiled.

But just when I was about to unleash the master sword on the monster, all of a sudden Agent Fowler appeared on the monitor screen, shouting at the top of his lugs, "PRIME! PRIME!"

His sudden outburst startled me out of my focus and I lost my chance. The lynel one-shot me and I died, "No, no, NO!" Miko cried as the 'game over' font came on screen. We, as well as Bumblebee and Bulkhead groaned out.

Gathering around the monitor screen, we went to see what all the commotion was. Miko glared daggers at the agent, "This has better be an emergency!" and to my surprise, both Jack and Raf nodded in agreement.

"Special Agent Fowler? To what do we owe-" Dad asked before Fowler cut him off.

"What else? Cons! I chased the off with some hard ordnance, but not before they blew me out of the sky."

"Again?" Miko asked while smirking, to which I shrugged.

Fowler ignored us and continued to explain, "They tried a smash-and-grab for the D.N.G.S."

"The...what's it?" Acree asked.

"Dynamic Nuclear Generation System, aka, D.N.G.S." Fowler pressed a button on the screen, showing us a large metal box, strapped down by cords, "It's a prototype energy source, I'm porting to the coast for testing."

Ratchet tsk, "That's absurd. Why would Starscream bother with such primitive technology?"

Fowler glared back at the medic, almost like he was challenging him, "I'm guessing to make a big fat primitive weapon of mass destruction. If this baby were to melt down, it would irradiate this state and the four next door."

Raf then asked, "Uh...did Agent Fowler say which state he was currently in?" Everyone's eyes and optics widened.

I frowned my brows and crossed my arms, "Why do humans need to have something like that? No wonder the Decepticons would want it."

"I'm a sitting duck here, Prime. I need you to spin up your bridge and send the D.N.G.S. to it's destination before the cons come back for it." Fowler explained.

I noticed Dad's demeanor changed, getting more serious, "I'm afraid that sending such a volatile device through a ground bridge is out of the question. If there were to be an accident during it's transmission, the radiation of which you speak could propagate through the ground bridge vortex and harm all fifty states...and beyond."

I groaned, slumping my head down, "It just keeps getting worse..."

"You got any better ideas?" Fowler asked.

Dad was silent for a moment, before suggesting, "Vehicle transport."

Simple job; transport the D.N.G.S. using Dad's freight truck mode. Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Arcee would be diving along side us, ready for when the Decepticons would try and attack again. I was allowed to come, for when 'Phase 2' would start. I was in Bumblebee's passenger seat, while Fowler was riding in Dad's diver seat.

Over the comlink I heard Dad say to Fowler, "Ah! No need, agent Fowler. I will handle the driving."

I giggled, leaned back in my chair, "He's not gonna like that." Bumblebee chuckled, buzz in agreement.

The Autobot's started their engine and Dad gave the command, "Autobots, roll out!"

We had only been on the road for about 15 minutes, and already Fowler was honking at an old pick-up truck in front going 5 miles an hour.

Bumblebee and I pasted the time with playing 'would you rather', "Ok, would you rather, be stranded in space, or the earth's desert?" I asked, smiling at Bee's radio.

"Oh, differently space! I can't stand getting sand in my grill, it never comes out!" Bee whined, I giggled, "Ok my turn. Would you rather, eat a live spider or that can of rotting fish?"

I made a wired face at him, "What kind of questions are those?!"

"What? You showed me on the internet. Do human's not usually eat those?"

I groaned out, "Ok, no more weird YouTube videos," Glancing up at the road, we were only able to see the back of Dad's freight truck, "Hey Bee, how about we take the front?"

"Sounds good," very quickly Bee drove around Dad, now in front.

"That's better," I sighed taking in the few of open road, "It's been a while since we've taken an drive together."

"Yeah you're right, we should do this more often."

I smiled, "It's a date then." The seemed to have excited Bee, his steering wheel twirled around and he let out happy buzzing sounds. But as we were enjoying our little moment, I notice from Bee's left side-mirror that a helicopter was following close behind us.

Fowler then shouted through the comlink, "That's the one! The con who shot me down! Who is he? Wingnut? Dingbat? Skyguy?"

Bulkhead tuned into the comlink, "Watch your rearviews." I stuck my head out the window, looking past Dad's truck, I noticed that Bulkhead was now surrounded by Chevrolets, all of them looking the same, "Feeling a little constricted without the use of my fists here, boss."

"Remain in vehicular mode unless absolutely necessary," Dad ordered, "Nora, I recommend you transform."

"Got it," pulling my head back inside, I quickly transformed. Looking through my mask I looked back out the window, to get a better look at the who was following us. That's when I noticed the green paint jobs, "Those don't look like a cons. Last I checked they were usually purple."

"I'm not picking up their signals either." Bee added.

One of the Chevrolet drove right up to Dad's driver side. Fowler looked out the window, the Chevrolet's sunroof opened and a human wearing a black, greyish suit and full face mask popped out. He pointed a large gun at the agent, "Pull Over!"

I was shell-shocked; they were human?! Human's shot Fowler out of the sky?! They were the ones how wanted the D.N.G.S.?! "What they fra-?!"

Dad's intercon cut me off, "Our assailants are not Decepticons - they are human." Alerting everyone.

"Dad what should we do?" I asked, watching the man aiming his gun at Fowler. Dad swerved and rammed the side of their car, the man lost control and fired his gun downward on the street under Dad's truck. He was unharmed but I was shocked by the large explosion, "These guys are packing the big guns!"

"Who are these guys?" Fowler asked, looking out his window again.

"Probably a secret government force?" I suggested.

"Autobots, maintain your cover, and apply minimal force, Disarmament only." Dad ordered.

Another Chevrolet came speeding up behind Bumblebee, with another agent sticking out the sunroof, "Bee, behind us!" I warned, watching him take aim. Bumblebee reduced his speed, ramming his bumper against the car, shaking them off, but when they tried to get on our right side, Bee hit them, knocking them off balance. I watch from his rearview mirror as the green car, hit a rock and flipped over, "Nice one!"

The road started to swerve, on the comlink I could hear Flower loosing his lunch, Glancing out Bumblebee's left side-mirror, I saw another man jump behind Dad's truck-mode, trying to dislocate the freight, with a torch. "Prime, bear right!" Fowler shouted, Dad swerved around, hitting the car at his side, the diver lost control and rolled off the road down the small cliff. Unfortunately the man didn't get knocked off as he continued to torch.

I scooted to Bee's driver seat. But as I was preparing to open the door and join the fight, Dad said over the comlink, "Nora, remain undercover."

I frowned, "But-"

"The situation has now changed. Knowing that our assailants are human, keeping your identity a secret it second top priority." He ordered.

I growled out, hating the fact that I'm now once again, having to be nonexistence to humanity. Though for the record, it had been years, and only very few human's knew I existence aside from Jack, Miko and Raf now. Before, there was Fowler, his wife Linda, and General Bryce, along with a few soldiers. I slumped down Bee's seat, crossing my arms.

I kept watching through the side-mirror, Fowler had climbed out of Dad's driver seat and was hanging on to his side, "Of my Primus!" My eyes went wide, I wanted nothing more then to help him out. Fowler grabbed the man and held him out over the speeding road, he was about to interrogate him, but a tree came up and knocked the man out of his hands. Fowler had no choice but to go back inside the truck.

Suddenly we heard someone intercept on Fowler's walkie-talkie, onto the comlink, "I do hope you take better care of the D.N.G.S. then you do your captives," It was a man, with the most generic army/bad guy voice I had ever heard.

"And the main villain reveals himself." I quietly said to Bee, who chuckled at my joke.

The helicopter hovering above us was catching up with Dad, and we had a hunch the man who was talking to Fowler was inside, "Special Agent William Fowler here. Identify yourself!" Fowler ordered over the walkie-talkie.

"I am Silas. But of greater consequence to you, we are MECH. Fair warning - we will be helping ourselves to your device, even if it mean inflicting casualties."

"Is that so? Tell me, Si, what's the market prince for a D.N.G.S. these days?"

"What makes you think we intend to sell it, Agent Fowler? Where's a war brewing, between the new world order and the newest. the victor will be the side armed with the most innovative technology."

I narrowed my eyes, already not liking this human. He started sounding more let the late Megatron more and more, wanting to start a war for no reason which will end in tragedy and loss. I had to restrain myself from not butting in on the comlink. We finally came to the end of the cliff road and was now on flat open terrain. I couldn't quite see what was happening behind Dad's freight now, and was starting to wonder if Bee should drive back and join Bulkhead.

That's when I heard Fowler reply back to Silas, "So, Si... you think MECH has all the most radical tech?"

I knew I couldn't stick my head out the window and watch, so Bumblebee adjusted his mirror giving me more of a view. Arcee had jump out the freight with her holoform on, and slammed right onto a Chevrolet in front of her. It lost control, flipping on it's side, the car behind it didn't have time to stop, it flew up in the air before crashing down and exploding, "Holy scrap!" I shouted over the comlink, "That was amazing Arcee!"

"Later Si," Fowler smirked, ending the call.

But as we enjoyed our brief moment of victory, Dad said to Fowler, "Agent Fowler, do not take your "Silas" lightly. Megatron preached the very same ideology before plunging Cybertron into the Great War that destroyed our world."

Suddenly Ratchet called in, "Optimus, Prepare to initiate Phase 2. Five miles ahead, to the south, you will reach the rendezvous point."

We put some distance between us and MECH, reaching the destination point, we saw our train traveling next to us, "Autobots, keep a tight formation." Optimus ordered. We all drove off the road, and raced next to the train headed for the tunnel. MECH followed in hot pursuit, But once we were all inside the tunnel, Bulkhead transformed and shot his canon blasters above the tunnel, caving it in and blocking MECH from outside.

Bumblebee pulled back behind Dad, "Ready Nora?"

I nodded, "Let's do this."

Bee transformed with me on his shoulder, he flipped onto the train carts. Knocking on the door, where a soldier was waiting for us inside, "Hey Jim," I smiled, Bee waved upside down, the soldier waved back. Dad's freight walls came down, making it easier for Arcee to transport the D.N.G.S. like a bucket brigade. She handed it to Bulkhead who had caught up to us and was hanging by the side of the train carts, and he handed it to Bumblebee, as he very carefully placed it inside the cart.

Bee then scooped me in his hand and placed me inside with the Jim. I turned back to the team, "I'll take it from guys. Stay safe," I smiled.

"You too Nora," Dad said, "Autobots, roll out." They transformed back into vehicle-mode, right when the end of the tunnel was coming up. Once we all exited, the Autobots drove back onto the road right when Silas was flying over, taking the bait he proceeded to follow Dad and the others.

I closed the cart door, "We're making progress, we should be at our destination by nightfall," Jim said.

"Let's hope we have enough time before they get smart," I narrowed me eyes.

Suddenly I heard Ratchet over the comlink, "Optimus you have company!"

My eyes widened, knowing exactly who he was talking about, "Oh no..." I turned on my signal screen on my mask, looking at the Autobot's signals, and a few extra, "Decepticons..." This just got more serious.

I was starting to worry, will the Autobots be able to handle the Decepticons while undercover from MECH?! There was no way, Decepticons hardly cared if they would be seen, and luckily for them, they had Soundwave to hack any evidence of them on the internet. I glanced at the D.N.G.S., It was safe right? Jim and the other soldier on board the train can handle it... My was starting to open the door again, when I heard, "Nora, stick to the mission." Dad ordered.

"But Dad-!"

"You were given an order to guard the D.N.G.S., we will handle the Decepticons."

I clenched my fists, taking deep breaths, trying to remain calm, "Roger that."

Minutes went by, I paced myself back and forth in the cart, preparing myself for an attack to happen at any moment. Till finally, I heard Silas talking to Fowler over the intercom again, "Special Agent Fowler, you lead a charmed life, walking among titans," I narrowed my eyes, no doubt the Decepticons had focused the Autobots to break their cover. MECH, now knows about us...

"Come on down, I'll introduce you." Fowler taunted the man.

"In good time. But a the moment, I'm too busy wondering how the D.N.G.S. might have vanished into thin air without a trace. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a train to catch."

"Scrap..." I cursed, turning to Jim, "He knows."

"Prime, Silas got wise to Phase 2!" Fowler shouted.

"I understand," Dad said, seemily ready to rejoin me on the train. But suddenly I heard him groan in pain, and his comlink turned off.

"Prime, do you read me? Prime?!"

"Dad! What's happening?!" I cried. Wen I didn't get an answer, I started to really panic, "Dad, can you hear me?!" Still no answer. Was it the Decepticons, or did MECH attack? "That's it, I have to help!" I flung open the door.

But just when I was about to jet off to help, I heard Ratchet shout over the comlink, "Nora you are to stay with the cargo! Optimus gave you an order, and you will stick with it!" He barked at me, before reassuring, "Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Arcee will watch over him. Right now you are at a greater risk, and need backup."

"Then what do you suggest we do?!" I irritably snapped, hating the fact that my family needed me and I couldn't do anything.

"Watch your tone with me, young lady!" Ratchet snapped back, using his 'scolding' voice. My cheeks blushed, I felt like a child again, "I'm sending you backup, and you are going to wait and stay on that train!" He ordered, before ending the call.

I growled, my face on fire. I slammed the door shut and punched it, leaving a good size dent. Jim lightly chuckled, "Hey, I've been there, not fun being disciplined by your elders." I sighed, banging my head against the cart. Suddenly, I could hear a helicopter outside. Peeking out, I saw Silsa fly past us, one of the men hanged out from the side and shot something down at the trains engine. Turning my head as the devise attacked itself to the engine, it let out an electric shockwave. Thinking fast I hovered off the ground, but Jim was not so lucky, getting electrocuted.

"Jim!" I cried, thankfully the attack only lasted for a second, the soldier fell to the ground. Planting my feet back on the ground, I rushed over to him, checking his pules, he was alive. I growled glaring out creaked door. Rage suddenly overtook my judgment, I remembered it... this was how I felt when we wear fighting Skyquake. I was starting to loose focus, and seeing purple again, "How dare they..." I pulled out my arm-blaster and took aim at the helicopter. I only felt anger, and that's when I heard I voice echo In my head, "How dare lower life forms think they can overpower me..." It sounded like me, but fused with someone else voice.

The fimilar sound of a ground bridge opening behind me, snapped me out of it. Turning around I saw Jack, and Miko jumped through, "Guys?! You're the back up?!"

"What? We volunteered, your welcome!" Miko snarked, feeling ungrateful.

"Raf, we're in," Jack called through his cellphone.

That's when I heard Raf, "I read you, Jack. The cellphone-comlink patch works,"

"Hu, nice job Raf." I smiled, commenting his work.

"Thanks Nora."

The helicopter sounds were getting louder, We all peeked our heads out, to see Silas trying to land on the train, "Raf, MECH's landing on the train." Jack said.

"In about 20 seconds, you're gonna come to a fork. Brace yourself."

I looked ahead of the us on the tracks, seeing the fork. I counted the seconds in my head, and at the very last second the tracks changed, the train turned a sharp left, knocking the helicopter off cores. It seemed to have worked, for about 10 seconds. The helicopter landed successfully on top of the train. Jack, Miko and I turned our heads to the ceiling, MECH was starting to cut it open, "So what'd that buy us? 10 second?" Jack asked.

"Raf, is losing his touch," Miko said.

I for one was oddly excited to finally join the fight, I wanted to show this Silas guy who's he's messing with, "Get behind me," I ordered them, standing in front. Miko grabbed an fire axe that was hanging on the wall behind us, and Jack grabbed the fire extinguisher, "Whatever happens, do not shout out my real name!" MECH finished cutting open a man-size hole, the metal ceiling fell at our feet and three MECH soldiers stared down at us.

I didn't give them a second to react, I rocketed up out of the cart, and uppercut one of the men, he went flying back, hitting the helicopter's windshield. the other two men stumbled back in shock at the sight of me. To them, I probably looked like a smaller red-armored Autobot with purple optics; and that's they needed to think about, Stay in control Nora... They can't find out what you really are.

The two remaining men took position, luckily they didn't have weapons on them. The first one tried to take a swing at me with his fist, I dodge to the left, and took my turn in rapidly punching him. He blocked with his forearms, but was not expecting the sear strength I had, he grunting in pain, with every punch he took, his feet scooted backwards. Just when I thought he was going to drop his arms down, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the second man's foot swinging behind me. I quickly crouched down, and low spun sweep kick, knocking him off his feet. Once he was down, the first man tried to punch me in the back of the head, I quickly spun back around at grabbed him, standing back up, I pulled on his hand, jerking him closer for me to punch him directly in the face, he groaned in pain, his face-mask cracked, falling down unconscious. I turned around to face the remaining man, who stood back up, he tried to punch me, but I blocked his hand with my palm, he cried out in pain, pulling his sore hand back, probably was not expecting my armor to be hard as steal. Taking my chance, I did a sun hook kick to his chest, spinning him around me, and hitting the guy who was still on the helicopter's windshield, the two men slid off.

I glared inside the helicopter, seeing the pilot covered in the same MECH suit as the others, but the man in the passenger seat had his mask off. He had tanned skin, a broad-face, with two large scares over his noise and down left side of his face, white hair that was buzzed-cut, and dark brown eyes, that were glaring right at me. We stared down at each other for a few seconds though it felt like hours, neither of us showing any signs of fear of the other. It's like I'm looking at a human version of Megatron, the only big difference was that I could easily win. I was so tempted to fire my blaster at him, after hearing the rant he said over the comlink about starting a war for the new. What a load of scrap, this was my planet! My home! I've been protecting it from the most obvious enemies, the Decepticons, so there's no way in hell I was gonna let some puny human play overlord!

I pulled out my arm-blaster, but right before I took aim, I heard the familiar sounds of a truck car driving on the cliff beside the tracks. Turning my head, my spark lifted, and my anger vanished, "Dad..." I whispered, smiling behind my mask. He was okay!

I turned back to Silas, who had also spotted him, he ordered his pilot to retreat, and the three men I banged up stumbled back inside the helicopter. I flipped him off as he took flight. The copter flew ahead of the train, and just when I thought the fight was over, MECH fired a bazooka at the tracks, blowing them up, "Are you fragging serious?!" I screamed. As much as I wanted to chase after them, I had to get my friend off the train.

I jumped back inside the cart, where Jack was calling Ratchet, "Ratchet, MECH blew the train tracks. You need to bridge us out of here, the soldiers too!"

"We've lost that access to the train data! I can't bridge you back without your coordinates!" Ratchet said.

"Maybe we could jump?" Miko suggested.

"At 90 miles an hour?"

"It's the impact or the meltdown. Take your pick. Or maybe Nora can fly us out?" Miko looked to me.

"I wouldn't have enough time to save everyone on the train!" I started to panic.

Jack started to have regrets, "What were we thinking, volunteering for this?"

"Next time, you need to do a better job of talking us out of these situations." Miko shrugged.

Suddenly I got a comlink from Dad, "Nora, to the front of the train!" I stuck my head out of the window, seeing Dad driving up at maximum speed, as he passed us.

Understanding his order, I flew after him. He transformed, and grabbed onto the front of the train, and dug his boots in the dirt, trying to stop it. I flew to the other side of the front, and started to push as hard as I could, using my jetpack as a booster. The train wheels screeched and sparked, I grunted, as we struggled to stop it, with more and more force going against it, the train started to slowdown, till finally it came to a stop right at the end of the broken track.

I sighed a big relief, pushing myself off the train. I looked up at Dad, I smiled and flew up to his neck, giving him a hug. He wrapped his hand around me in return. But like always, our happy moment was short lived, by the MECH's helicopter hovering above, monitoring us. I could hear Silas say, "Well played, visitor. But MECH still has home-field advantage, and we will find a way to level that playing field. Even if we have to open you up to see what makes you tick-"

I didn't let him finished, my patience finally broke and I took aim and shot, hitting the windshield, leaving a big nasty crack, "Frag off Silas!" I cursed out loud.

"Nora!" Dad scolded, glaring down at me. But Silas got the message and flew off.

"What? He had it coming!" I argued back, pointing at the fleeing copter.

"He kinda did Optimus," Miko agreed, and even Jack nodded yes. Dad sighed, scooping me up in his hand and placed me on his shoulder,

"Optimus, are you, Nora and the children... intact?" Ratchet asked over the comlink.

"Intact, Ratchet. Crisis averted. But the world in which we live is a different one than previously imagined. One, which has spawned it's own Decepticons... In human skin."
