Hey guys. Yeah random late update time! Yay! I've started working so it's took some time up. I decided to cut this chapter shorter because otherwise it'll take even longer until I update. None of you answered my question.

SHOULD REX COME BACK?!

Please tell me your opinion. Yes or no? Should I bring him through to the transformers world or leave him in his own? Guess what as well. One page of a hundred! Anyway, onto reviews. Thank you guys for these.

RougeReaper:

some one123: Wow bro that was great but u need to post like right now cause I am gonna get some very angry bots back here so hurryyyyyyyyyy

Me: Yeah, angry bots are going to have to beat me up for taking so long. Just don't hurt me too bad.

MiniAjax: this story is fragging AAAAWESOME!

Me: I'm so happy you think so. That made me smile when I read it.

Guest: SunnySides

The Decepticons are responsible for the missing machine! And if Soundwave is here , the second movie can't be too far behind... Speaking of the second movie , are you going to change it in any way? Are you going to bring in Sunny?

Me: I won't spill too much because I want it to be a surprise but I am going to change some things. But you're right about some things. I'll let you guess which part. ;)

puritygirl: Cool story!

Me: Thank you. i'm glad you think so. Thanks for reviewing.

TheGhost129: Sideswipe's a traitor?

._.
Or was that another com-link?

Me: Sorry, that was me not explaining things properly and a bad coincidence. That was Barricade speaking to Soundwave. NOT SIDESWIPE. Yeah, sorry. Bad writing on my part. Thanks for reviewing. I look forward to future ones.

DarkshadowXsunny-sides: oh my primus.

Me: I know right? I'm glad I got that type of reaction out of someone.

Chapter 8

Ever played the game which Autobot can you make glitch first? Yeah… Ratchet doesn't like it. Unfortunately, none of them did glitch but Ironhide and Ratchet was close. They all freeze staring at me. Sideswipe is the first to recover and he bursts out laughing.

"Are you trying to make everybot glitch femme? Because I don't appreciate it," asks Ratchet waving his wrench.

Prime closes his optics and pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Miss Sedis, what is that?" sighs Prime looking away.

Before I can answer, Ironhide explodes.

"IT'S AN ABOMINATION!" roars Ironhide.

I look down at my jumper as I hold back my laughter. On my black jumper is the Autobot symbol wearing fake glasses and nose with a moustache. The phrase 'Robots in disguise' underneath the symbol. I remembered I had this transformers jumper stashed away in my motorbike along with Decepticon jewellery but it's probably best not to get that out.

"It's genius!" exclaims Sideswipe laughing.

"No, it's not. It's a disgrace and mockery of the Autobot symbol," comments Ironhide, not pleased at all.

"Where did you get it?" questions Ratchet now quite interested in it.

"It's a little something from my world. I guess if you didn't believe me before here's further proof," I answer.

Lennox and Epps decide to walk in at this point. They stop their conversation, staring at me. They look at my jumper in shock before Epps bursts out laughing.

"I've gotta get me one of these," laughs Epps as they both come closer to see my jumper better.

"I like it. Robots in disguise. Smart," chuckles Lennox.

"Take it off," demands Ironhide abruptly.

"That's a little forward, don't you think Ironhide? Besides I don't go for old and rusty," I reply with a smirk.

Ironhide growls before saying, "It is disrespectful to the Autobots and our cause. It's a mockery. I will incinerate it and whether you are wearing it or not makes no difference to me. It'll be one less problem to deal with."

Ouch! That was a little harsh.

"Miss Sedis, please remove that item of clothing. It may compromise you if a Decepticon see's stand thinks you are allied with us," explains Prime using a different reasoning.

"But it's in disguise," I emphasise gesturing to the jumper.

Unfortunately, I can tell that Prime won't change his mind.

"Fine. I won't wear it but I'm keeping it," I say before pulling it off to reveal a tank top.

"Actually, I would like to examine it. It's traveled between worlds," comments Ratchet fascinated.

"No way. This is a one of a kind in this world. If you ruin it, I'll never be able to get another one," I protest.

"Well I suppose if you don't want me to examine the jumper I could examine you," proposes Ratchet.

"Ugh….. Fine, take the stupid jumper. Just try not to ruin it too badly," I agree reluctantly.

I hold it out to him and he carefully picks it up between his thumb and finger. He walks off, muttering under his breath about theories.

"Speaking of clothes, I need some. I would appreciate it Lennox if I can go shopping to buy some," I say to Lennox.

"I don't think that's such a good idea," replies Lennox.

"I need some clothes Lennox. You can't exactly ask someone else to do it. Everyone is busy. Besides, they would need to know my size. What I would wear? What I wouldn't wear even if I'm dead? What colour? Etc," I explain trying to convince him.

"You could try to escape," comments Ironhide.

"If I wanted to escape I would of done it a long time ago. Also, you guys are my best chance of finding the machine. So why would I leave?" I reply making my point.

"I suppose it'll be okay. But only if you have a few guards with you," answers Lennox.

"And an Autobot," Ironhide adds in.

"Fine," I agree.

"Be ready in an hour. Wait in your room until then," orders Lennox.

I nod in agreement before my guards escort me away. I guess I could work out in my room while I'm waiting. I wonder which Autobot is going to be my babysitter.

000000000000000000000000000

So it turns out the unlucky Autobot is Sideswipe. He was all too happy to go and stretch his legs. Until he found out he'll be in a car park for most of it. Then he wasn't so happy. I could hear his moaning through the ear piece of my helmet as I drive on my motorbike. They let me ride on it as long as I'm in sight of Sideswipe or one of the other military people like Mia. Yeah…. Mia's coming as well. They needed someone familiar with me but who isn't busy. Lennox and most of his team is busy so the only one who is available is Mia. Joy…… And she's not alone. Two other military women has come along as my escorts. They are all wearing casual clothing to not arouse any suspicion and alarm. They are all driving in Mia's car, driving closely by my motorbike. Sideswipe doesn't want any humans in him unless it's absolutely necessary. Ok…. That founded weird even for me. My thoughts are interrupted by Sideswipe.

"Vi?…. Vi?…. Are you listening to me?" questions Sideswipe.

"No. And I haven't been for over 20 minute," I answer bluntly.

"Hey. Want to race?" asks Sideswipe eagerly.

I smirk. Finally, a good suggestion. I rev my engine in reply and do a wheelie.

"I sent a message to your escorts, so they won't shoot you down for going ahead. Ready? 3…. 2… 1… GO!" exclaims Sideswipe before we both shoot off.

He shoot further much faster than me which is understandable. He may have speed but I can cut through traffic. Sideswipe has to weave in and out of traffic but I can cut straight through the middle. Unfortunately, there's not much traffic but we're not in the city yet. We're nearly there but not yet. I do my best to cut corners but it's not enough. Every time Sideswipe cuts me off at every chance I get. I'll admit my motorbike is much faster than most vehicles. It has to be in order to escape the police and mob gangs but it's probably won't beat a super intelligent alien life form. At the same time… I can be stubborn and determined if I want to be.

We reach the city with Sideswipe in the lead. Now you're in my territory. Sideswipe has to slow down a little because of traffic while I speed through the middle. We both ran through red lights. I'm pretty sure we're going to be lectured for this. We are being pretty reckless but that just adds to the thrill. It wasn't long before we could hear sirens in the background.

"What's that?" questions Sideswipe confused.

I take it he hasn't been on earth long.

"It's the police. They will lock us up if we're caught. You do know racing is illegal here right?" I ask, not even slowing down for a second.

"Yeah but I figured no one will be around to stop us," replies Sideswipe.

"We better turn on the speed. Try and lose them," I order before doing a wheelie and speeding ahead.

Normally, I'll pull out my weapons but I'm pretty sure Lennox and Prime would take them away if they knew I had them on me. There's only about 3 police cars, probably more on the way.

"Like they could keep up with me," scoffs Sideswipe before revving his engine and speeding ahead.

I smirk as I let him go ahead. I hear beeping and cursing as he cuts people off. Where he goes ahead and turns, I cut through an ally which is too narrow for the police cars to go through, losing them pretty easy. Instead they decide to cut their loses and go after Sideswipe. I go through alleyways, mostly beeping people to get out the way. A few people narrowly avoid being run over, which results in shouts and insults.

I wonder if Sideswipe has lost them yet? Probably not. The police here on earth can be pretty insistent. They are probably trying to box him in and cut him off. He can get out of it, after all mere human police are nothing compared to Decepticons.

"Slag! You fleshies are very persistent. You flesh bags are everywhere," complains Sideswipe through my ear piece.

I don't reply but I smirk. I bet he is just itching to transform and jump over them. He probably wants to scare them as well. I should actually thank Sideswipe. It's been a while since I've felt this free. I could escape. I could escape so easily. All I'll have to do is put my cloaking device on and drive out of town. No rules. No restrictions. No one to tell me what I can and can't do. Nothing to hold me down. Just me and my freedom. I flick the end of my handle up to where the button is. My finger hovers over it, as I vaguely pay attention to where I'm going.

Should I? Just one click and I'll be off their radar forever. I'll be free.

With….

…Just….

…One….

…Click…

I click the end of my handle down before sighing. No, I can't do it. I'm here for a reason. I won't be able to find the machine without them. Besides, it's a once in a lifetime chance to work with the Autobots. Who would turn that down? I shake my head before talking to Sideswipe.

"Sideswipe, divert them away from the mall. Try slashing their tires in some way or leak some type of slippery fluid.

"You want me to… lubricate?" asks Sideswipe sounding shocked.

"Whatever works Sideswipe, but you need to get rid of them," I reply before adding, "Besides, Bumblebee lubricated on a Sector 7 guy before. If he can do something like that surely you can."

Sideswipe gives a strangled laugh that sounds slightly choked.

"Really? Bumblebee lubricated on a fleshy?" questions Sideswipe shocked and amused.

Then what the last part of what I said finally hits him.

"I can do anything Bee can do!" exclaims Sideswipe defensively.

"Then prove it," I challenge.

If I can convince Sideswipe to pee on the road to get rid of his pursers then I can convince Ironhide pink looks good on him.

"Fine, I will!" replies Sideswipe determined.

I chuckle before speeding up, doing a wheelie, thinking if I should convince Ironhide pink should be his new alt form colour. I finally turn out the alleyways and on to the roads. In my next turn, I nearly collide with Sideswipe but I do a sharp turn to avoid him.

"I lost them," states Sideswipe proudly.

I nearly laugh at the fact he actually went through with it. The mall is in sight so I speed up quickly. Sideswipe realises what I'm doing and he speeds up with a rev of his engine. Sideswipe speeds ahead of me but I've noticed a small alleyway I can use to get ahead. My brain starts calculating. Sideswipe would have to turn a corner then turn into the parking lot while I would just have to turn into the alleyway and go straight. This will be tight. I make my decision. I turn into the alleyway moving quickly. Sideswipe is faster but he'll have to slow down for the turns. I can see it straight ahead! I rev speeding up going incredibly fast down a tiny alleyway. I tear through the alleyway but as I go through the parking lot so does Sideswipe (nearly knocking me over if I may add.) We both put our brakes on in order we don't crash into any other cars, as a run out our way. They scream and shout at us as we skid to a stop.

"Who won?" I question.

It was too close to see who got in first.

"Me obviously," answers Sideswipe cockily, making me scoff and roll my eyes.

"Yeah right. You would of have to slow down to turn into the car park," I reply using logic.

"No way. I-" starts Sideswipe before he is interrupted.

"Hey nut jobs!" shouts a female voice.

We both turn out attention towards a car where the shout came from which is Mia's car. I see her park her car quickly before storming out with the other military women behind her. I hear her slam her car door to display her anger.

"What was you two thinking? Racing off like that! Do you know how many laws you've broken?! We could of thought you was running away from us!" shouts Mia angrily.

I just roll my eyes. Seriously? She thinks I'm concerned with breaking the law? I've been breaking the law since I was a child. Why should I care now? I stay silent as she lectures me.

"Yeah! She's right! You're lucky the police didn't catch you! You know we have permission to shoot you if it so much as looks like you're trying to escape," adds one of the military women behind Mia.

This one with red hair and green eyes while the other one has blonde hair and brown eyes. They have permission to shoot me? Gee…. Don't I feel loved?

"It was only Sideswipe's quick message and Mia's orders not to shoot to stop us," comments the blonde women.

"Mia's orders?" I ask out loud curiously.

"Well yeah. I said not to shoot since Sideswipe said you two were racing to the mall. I knew you weren't running away. Besides it's like I said earlier I want to become friends," smiles Mia.

I narrow my eyes in suspicion but no one can see that because of my helmet. She's lying. I can feel it in my gut. Why would she want to be friends with me? I'm a horrible person.

"That was irresponsible! You could of hurt yourselves or others!" scolds the redhead.

"Lay off! I suggested the idea. If you want to yell at someone, yell at me," comments Sideswipe.

Why is he sticking up for me?

"Leave it Sideswipe. I don't need anyone taking the bullet for me," I growl annoyed by everyone.

I am perfectly capable of holding my own.

"And as for you lot. Do you honestly think I give a damn about what you say? You can lecture me all you want but it will fall of deaf ears so if I was you, I would stop wasting my breath," I comment coldly making them shut up.

They look slightly shocked and annoyed while Mia's expression is unreadable before it softens putting me on edge.

"Look I understand, you probably feel trapped and frustrated and you don't want to listen to me but I have to say I'm sorry," comments Mia making my eyes widen in surprise.

Okay… now she has my attention. Clever tactic. I don't say anything, happy I have my helmet on to hide my surprise and interest.

"I shouldn't of shouted at you like that but I was worried about you being hurt or hurting others. I was concerned and it just came out wrong and I landed all my frustrations on you. I'm sorry," apologises Mia.

What a load of-

"Beep!"

A car horn interrupts my thoughts as I notice that me and Sideswipe are blocking one of the lanes of the car park.

"I'll go park," I mutter.

"I'll see you femmes later. I'm going to patrol the area," comments Sideswipe before we both drive off in opposite directions.

"Remember to keep your holoform," I hear Mia call.

I quietly scan for the best place to park. I park it at the front where it's easy to get on if there's an emergency. You never know.

"This is going to be so fun! Finally some girl time!" squeals Mia cheerfully.

Oh man….. What have I gotten myself into?

0000000000000000000000000

Motives….. Motives are the things that drive people. It can be formed by anger, hate, sadness, kindness… love. Motives can drive people to protect, sacrifice, lie, cheat… kill. So that makes me wonder what are everyone's motives? What are the Autobots for making me stay? What are the person's motives for taking the machine? What were their motives for pulling me in this world and then abandoning me? There might be more people on this ride than I think. And what are their motives? To knock me off course? To make sure I'll never reach the end? Or to help me? To push me towards the end? To help me reach my destination? One thing is clear though. I can't trust anyone. I need to determine their motives before planning my next move. To know what routes to take. I'm driving blind until the light turns back on. And when they do turn on, I'll know who to strike….. Who to kill.
