Normal POV

Meanwhile, there was a sudden flash of blue light at the Autobot base, and after it fades, the bots are shocked to see Autobot lying on the floor where Ricky was standing. Wheeljack walks over and helps the new Autobot stand. His armor is red and orange.

"Wheeljack, what happened?" Ricky asks.

"Alpha Trion has put his plan into motion," Snowdrift says.

'Why does this Alpha Trion want to us sister and me?" Ricky asks.

"Take it easy, bud," Wheeljack says as he helps Ricky over to a create so he can sit down.

"Wheeljack is correct, Ricky. You and your sister, in turn, will need to learn how to adapt to your new forms," Snowdrift says.

Ivan's POV

Miss Morgan had planned another fossil fun day since the first got interrupted by the bomb set by one of Sledge's monsters. Tracy's cousins had a good time digging up the fossils and even made some new friends as well. I did my best not to call Tracy since I knew she needed her space to reflect on everything that she was going through at the moment. I know she may have feelings for me, but I don't want to rush her into dating if she isn't ready. Either way, her safety, and happiness are the only things on my mind.

"Ivan, are you alright," Orion asks as he places his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm fine, Orion," I reply.

"Ivan, I know the concern you have for Tracy is different from one someone has for a fellow teammate," Orion says, "But, you need to tell her how you feel,"

"I know Orion, but..." I say.

"I'm sorry for interrupting, but can you and Orion play Knight and Princess with us," Isabella asks.

"Yes, please play with us. I'm tired of playing the Knight. I want to be the bad guy who traps the princess in the tower," Malachai adds as he sprints up.

"What would be my role?" Orion asks.

"You can be the king," Isabella says.

"I'd love to join in, but I need to take this," Orion says. As his phone rings.

"Okay," Isabella says.

Orion walks away while I assist the children with their game.

Knockout's POV

Tracy starts to walk away, but I notice a tail of energon start to form as she takes a few more steps.

"Tracy, you need to let us take you back to the nemesis,"

"Yes, you are losing quite a bit of energon, and since your frame is smaller than most Femees your age, we need to close the cut on your side," Breakdown adds.

Tracy turns back around winces in pain as she tries her best to keep pressure on her wound. She is about to snap back with some witty remark undoubtedly, but she faints before getting a word out.

"How do we explain this to Megatron?" Breakdown asks.

"We'll figure that out later, partner. Let's get to the medical bay," I reply.

Breakdown collected all the equipment when we arrived as I lay her down on the berth.

"Knockout, you shouldn't help me. I want to see my mom," Tracy says.

"What did she mean?" Breakdown asks, attaching the monitor to her chest.

"She is delirious from the energon loss; I suggest we induced status to try to stop her from losing anymore while I close the wound," I reply

After Breakdown presses the button to induce status, Tracy's optics slowly close as I hear her count down from ten, it didn't take me as long as I thought to close the cut, and I nod to Breakdown he presses the button again so we can wake her up.

Ivan's POV

Isabella and Malachai also asked Sir Riley and Sir Bobby to assist since Orion still hadn't returned from taking his phone call, which worried me. The children had used a jungle gym for the castle, which is too small for Sir Riley and me to stand up on since our heads hit the roof. We had to kneel as we used the plastic shovels as our weapons to duel another.

"Take the secret tunnel, my lady. I shall follow you forthwith," I say as I continue to fend off Sir Riley.

"What's forthwith mean," Isabella asks.

"Sorry, I will be right behind you as soon as I finish off this hooligan," I reply.

I knock the shovel out of Riley's hand and tap him on the shoulder. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Addison walk up.

"Machalai, Isabella, it's time to head home," Addison says.

"Aw, but mom, the brave knight hasn't rescued the princess yet," Isabella whines,

"Sorry, Izzy, but it's getting late," Addison says.

"Mom, can't we play one more game?" Malachai asks.

"I have an idea for a great game, is called destroy the rangers," Fury says.

"What is the creature talking about?" Addison asks.

"I'm not sure, but you and the children should get to safety,"

"Okay," Addison says.

After Addison and the children head to the parking lot, I look up and see those same purpler jets and a larger silver one approach. The purple ones become an army of robots and aim their blaster at us, and the silver one changes into Starscream.

"Fury, stop toying with Lord Megatron wants more of those Energems," Starscream says.

"I'm not toying with them, Starscream. We need to destroy them to get their gems," Fury says.

"Ivan, why did those planes just become robots?" Tyler asks.

"How does it know about the Energems, and why is it working with Fury?" Riley asks.

"Also, who is Megatron?" Chase adds.

"I'm unsure, but we must lead them away from the park," I reply.

"We aren't going anywhere, rangers," Fury says as he calls for some vivix.

My compatriots and I easily dispatch the vivix. As I turn around, I see Starscream run up and grab Ashley. I sprint up and push her out of the way.

"Ivan," The team shouts.

"Hey, Mr. high heels put my friend down," Ashley says, pointing her morpher at Starscream.

"Sorry, human, but I can't do that. One of the Autobots pets seems to care deeply for him, so I take it you can guess my plan," Starscream says.

I feel a sharp jolt of electricity flow through my body, and my vision becomes cloudy. All I can make out before things fade to black is Fury sending a lightning bolt from his sword towards my friends.

Knockout's POV

While Tracy was recovering from us putting her status to repair the gash above her right hip. She mumbles something about getting the yellow energem back, not deserving to be called a hero, and finally says a boy named Ivan and that she has fallen in love with him.

"Hey, princess, good morning," I say as she wakes up.

"Very funny. If Cybertronian has jokes, you should stick to them. Earth humor isn't your forte," Tracy says, stretching and sitting up then dangling her feet off the edge of the berth.

"So, is this Ivan, your boyfriend?" Breakdown asks.

"No," Tracy answers, turning her head away to hide the fact she is blushing.

"You admitted that you love him," Breakdown says.

"No, I didn't," Tracy snaps.

"You did a few minutes ago," Breakdown says.

"If being put into statis is like when a human is put under for surgery. I only had 10% of my brain working at the time while the rest of my body was back to normal." Tracy argues.

"How do you know that?"

"I have too many family members who work in the medical field," Tracy sighs.

I hear the door to the medical bay open and see Starscream walk in holding an unconscious human in his right hand.

"Starscream, what did you do that human?" I ask.

"I just gave him a light energon shock," Starscream replies.

"If it were a light shock, he wouldn't be unconscious," Tracy snaps.

"Wait, Knockout, why does that Autobot sound like Wheeljack's human pet," Starscream asks.

As soon as Tracy runs over tackles Starscream, she manages to catch Ivan in her hand. She slides along the floor her back slams against the wall. There is a flash of light, and when it fades, Tracy is lying unconscious on the floor and looks like a human.

Tracy wakes up, and now I see a bandage wrapped around her stomach. She slowly stands up and stumbles up to Starscream.

"Starscream, if you were using Ivan as leverage to get me to spill about the location of the base, all I tell you is I don't know where it is. When Wheeljack brought me to the base, I wasn't awake at the time." Tracy says.

"Well, after I attacked you and your boyfriend, the Autobots took you back to the base then," Starscream says.

"Again, Ivan isn't my boyfriend," Tracy snaps, trying to keep herself from blushing again. "We used a ground bridge to get back," Tracy says.
