Chief Burns and Chase were at the docks. The ferry was coming.
"Excellent!" Chase said. "Observation of maritime law!"
"Actually, we're just checking a shipment from the - Ah-CHOO! - the government for Doc Greene's lab," Chief said with a sniffle.
Jackie rode Abby next to Chase's driver side.
"Mach Kick is coming," She told them.
"Okay then?" Chief had no idea who, or what, she was talking about.
Jackie handed Chief a packet of travel tissues.
"Thanks, Jackie."
The ferry's horn honked.

A Hispanic man was trying to find his wife's cell phone number so he could tell her he was almost at the docks.
"Dammit," his battery died.
He looked at the classic car beside his truck.
"Hey, man, what year is your car?"
The two occupants looked at each other.
"Um, '65?" the one without glasses said.
"I got a buddy with the same car, I bet he knows."
"Oh, that-that's cool."
The horse in the trailer started whinnying and kicking.
KLA-TUNK!
Tlop-tlop-tlop!
"You got to be kidding me!" the man ran out to get the horse back in the trailer.
Myles turned to his brother and they both nodded.
xxx
"That is an odd colored horse," Chase said.
"That's Mach Kick," Jackie said. "I'm keeping him for a while."
"Woah!"
SPLASH!
"Mr. Bunty!" Chief dove into the water.
"Yipe!" Jackie pulled on Abby's reigns to make her go backwards as a blue classic car almost hit them.
Chase attempted to stop the car, but he wound up ripping the bumper off.
"At least you got the license plate," Jackie said.
"Robot, let's go!" Chief said.
Chase transformed, let Chief in, and pursued to blue car.
Chief sneezed and blew his nose.
"You seem to be leaking fluids, Chief Burns," Chase said.
"Just a little bug- Ah-Choo!" Chief sneezed.
"Shall I roll down my window? Wha-? Oh no, no, NO!" Chase started to lose friction because the perps spilled oil on the road.
"AAHHH!" Chief and Chase burst through a guard rail on the edge of an ocean cliff!
Chase transformed, grabbed the cliff face, and climbed. He growled when he realized Myles and Evan escaped.
"Scrap! Scrap! Scrap!" Chroma nearly took down Chase as she slipped off the cliff in robot mode.
"Chroma, are you okay?" Asmalid, who was fifty feet away, said.
"Call First Aid..." Chroma groaned from the bottom.

"Dad's sick with the flu," Kade said, "as the oldest, I'm in charge until he's better."
"Hierarchical rule," K-9 said to no one in particular, "nice."
xxx
"Chroma sustained mild to moderate injuries to her back, lower legs, hips, right shoulder, both knees, neck, and head," First Aid told Chase.
"Sh-she's going to recover, right?" Chase asked.
"She will, in time."
Chroma stirred.
"Relax, Chroma," First Aid said.
xxx
"What does it mean to be sick with the flu?" Boulder asked Cody.
"I got sick the first time I flew," Blades said.
"Symptoms include: tiredness, lack of production, and a runny nose," Chase said through the monitor.
"Noses can't run," Blades got a scared look on his face, "or can they?"
"Chief Burns was highly productive in a substance called, 'mucus'. I have a sample if anyone wants to looked at it."
"Ew! Why?"
"No thanks!" said Heatwave.
"I'll look!" Boulder said.
"Guys, we got a gas fire to handle!" Kade said on the screen.
"Rescue Bots, roll to the rescue!"
"I wanted to say that!"
xxx
A Hispanic man, not the one mentioned earlier, in a green SUV watched to four Rescue Bots leave the firehouse.
"Alright, Bulk," he said, "let's go!"
Bulkhead pulled into the firehouse and the doors pulled closed behind him.
"I really hope Chroma doesn't shoot us!" Bulkhead said as his human got out.
"Yeah, me too," the man pulled a lever and the platform went down.
xxx
"Guys, someone just came in the firehouse!" Cody said from the command center.
"Cody, stay put!" Heatwave said. "K-9, First Aid, get ready to attack if necessary!"
"Got it!" K-9 ran into the elevator, transformed, and grabbed his blaster.
xxx
First Aid got in position outside the medbay and activated his electro-magnets.
xxx
"Ally," Kade said, "you and Chase get back to the firehouse!"
"Will do!" Asmalid said as she and Chase turned around.
xxx
"I'm going to see if Chroma's on the ship," Bulkhead said.
"I'll stay here if she's out," Tony, the man, said.
"Hey, Chroma, are you in here?" Bulkhead asked.
He opened a door and got blasted back by an electrical surge.
"Uh, Bulkhead?" First Aid poke the knocked-out bot.
"Relax, guys," K-9 said, "these guys are on our side."
xxx
"So, you're a police officer?" Kade asked Tony.
"Yeah, I work in California," Tony said.
"Optimus sent him here with Bulkhead due to a report he got," Jackie said as she came into the bunker in T1 mode.
xxx
"W-wait, what?!" The claim shocked Heatwave. "She kissed me!"
"By mistake," Bulkhead said, "and you started to make advances on her!"
"O-o-okay! I-I made a mistake, a HUGE one, don't we all?"
"You do realize you jeopardized your status as a Rescue Bot, right?"
Heatwave gulped.
"Optimus wants me to stay here for a while to keep an optic on you," Bulkhead said.
Heatwave gulped again.

"I'm beating you!" Jackie said as she zoomed past Cody.
"Hey, no fair! You have a built-in jetpack!" Cody said as he tried to make his hover board go faster.
"Blame it on my Cybertronian ancestors!"
"How can you be-"
"It's just a theory!"

"Intruder alert," Trex ran outside.
"I win! Whoa! A robot T. rex!"
"Trex, stop!" Doc Greene ran out pressing the 'heel' button.

"Stasis is different for Cybertronians," Jackie said as she looked at the Stasis Machine.
"Like when they sleep?" Frankie asked.
"That's recharge."
"Part of it is missing, but let's try it with a banana," Doc put the banana on the plate part of the machine and pressed a button. Nothing happened.
"I wonder what went wrong?" Cody said.
CHOOPF!
"AAAHHH!" Cody screamed.
"RE-RWOR!" that was Jackie.
They were both blasted into crates.
"Are you two okay?" Frankie asked.
"I think so," Cody said with a deeper voice.
"I think I'm havin' a period and a hot flash," Jackie said.
"Ugh, gross!"
"TMI!" Frankie said. "You two should look in a mirror."
Cody and Jackie looked at their reflections in a screen.
"You look like a cowboy, like your dad," Jackie said to Cody.
"How old do you think we are, Doc Greene?" Cody asked excitedly.
"30's to 40's," Jackie got proper sized clothes for Cody from her saddle bag.
"I bet I'm six feet tall!" KLONK! "Ow!"
"I'd sat six foot one Doc said.
"I can't wait to show Ka- Jackie, where'd that horse come from?"
"I followed ya, ya moron!" the horse said.
"Mach'" Jackie said in a mom voice. "Here, Brony," she tossed Cody the clothes.
"Why'd you call me a 'Brony?'" Cody asked.
"I can see your boxers."
"I'll go change!"
"My Little Pony boxers?" Frankie asked.
"Who knew," Jackie said.

Lindsy was putting groceries on the counter.
"Hi," Jackie walked through the door.
"Hey, Ja- the heck happened to you?!" Lindsy exclaimed.
"Faulty Stasis Machine," Jackie started to eat Nutella strait form the jar.
"Shouldn't that have put you in a coma?"
"It's a different stasis."
"This place keeps getting weirder and weirder."
xxx
Cody put on an extra emergency personnel uniform and slid down the fire pole to the bunker.
"Halt, intruder!" Chase said in his robot voice as he shined his light at Cody.
"Ack!" Cody shielded his eyes. "Chase, it's me! Cody!"
Chase scanned Cody. "You seem to have had hormonal changes in your body in addition to a mustache."
"Ew! Was that in your nose the whole time?" Blades asked.
"No, Blades," Cody said.
"Did you not hear Chase mention the hormonal changes?" Heatwave asked.
xxx
"Jackie, I don't understand why you want to wear my jeans," Lindsy said.
"Because they're not tight around my butt and hips," Jackie said.
"I don't have a big butt!"
xxx
Kade was fixing himself breakfast when Cody walked up behind him and said, "Guess who?"
"Ugh! Cody, grow up!" Kade knocked the hands out of his face.
"I think he already did," Graham said.
Kade turned around and saw an adult Cody.
"The hell?!" Kade exclaimed.
xxx
This is bad! This is bad! This is bad! Heatwave thought as he saw a recharging First Aid on top of him.
When he went into recharge, he was alone and in his quarters. He was surprised and scared when he saw a recharging First Aid on top of him.
Oh, man! Prime's Wrecker is going to see this and file it as inappropriate in the worst way possible and I'll never be seen again! Two of his close friends, a mech and a femme, disappeared. The mech for touching femmes, and the femme for 'dating' a minor.
Okay, okay! I'll just take him back to his quarters and I won't be in trouble.
He carefully got First Aid off him and started to carry him to his own quarters.
"Uh, Heatwave?"
Heatwave turned around and saw the Wrecker. "Eeep!"
"Rescue Bots, there's a rocket stuck in the power lines. A real rocket. I'm not joking," Kade said.
Heatwave handed First Aid to Bulkhead and ran out of the ship.
"Rescue Bots, roll to the rescue!"
"Wha'd I miss?" First Aid said with a yawn.
"You did it again," Bulkhead said.
xxx
"So, you're Jackie's aunt?" Hayley asked Mrs. Broom.
"Don't be surprised," Mrs. Broom said, "I have a hard time believing you're dating that Kade Burns."
"How did you know that?"
"I have some connections."
"You're niece?"
"Among others."
"Uh, this might be an awkward question, but have any information on kids?"
"Do you want to know about pregnancy, labor, or raising them?"
"The first two."

"I see Chief Burns' and your taste in music greatly differs from one another!" Chase said over the rock music Cody was playing.
"C-Oh, God! Loud music!" Jackie screamed over the comm.
"Sorry, Jackie," Cody turned off the radio. "What is it?"
"I found an old lady who doesn't speak English wandering through town. I think she's lost."
"Where are you?"
"Jonny Rockets. I bought a lunch."
"We'll be there in a few minutes."
"Is the restaurant's location close to the emergency?" Chase asked.
"Yep."
"Hey, if anyone sees an old woman in a chador and holding a walking stick, she's my grandmother and she doesn't speak English," Ally said over the comm.
"Try Jonny Rockets."
"Thanks, Cody!"
"Hey, Chase, can I try parking?"
"Yes, but be very ca- whoa!" Chase closed his eyes and hoped they wouldn't crash. "Th-that was drifting."
Cody got out of Chase to tell the crowd to get to safety.
xxx
Ally got out of her classic Chevy, a birthday gift from her uncle, and ran inside the Jonny Rockets and looked around until she found her grandmother eating a hamburger, fries, and Cola float.
"(Are you alright?)" she asked.
Her grandmother gave a thumbs up.
"Hi, Ally," Jackie walked in from the back of the restaurant, "I'm getting my horses to the beach."
"Don't you mea-"
An explosion startled to Quarter Horse and Penndex, the latter almost ran.
"The beach is calm."
"(What was that, a rocket?)" Ally's grandmother asked.
"Seriously, Mr. Cullen?" Ally muttered.

Later, Cody and Jackie were at Doc Greene's. Cody was playing basketball with Frankie and Jackie went dragon and was sparring with Tre.
"Ha!" Cody shot another basket. "I win again!"
Jackie growled and rolled her eyes as she pinned Trex down.
"Want to play again?" Cody asked Frankie.
"No, not really," Frankie walked inside her house.
"Jackie, you wanna play?"
Jackie walked over and popped the ball.
"What do you want to do then?"
Jackie went back into human form. "You're still mentally 12, dude."
"Jackie is correct," Chase said. "You may have aged physically, but not mentally."
"Yeah, you only look like that because you're hitting puberty."
"What?!" Cody said as Chase looked shocked at Jackie's comment.
"What, I studied it and Cody would look more like Graham pre-puberty."
Ping.
Jackie looked at her iPhone. "Looks like Ratchet found out why I had a Transmetal form two weeks ago."
"What is it?" Cody asked.
"Oh, we still need to do some more testing. Maybe on a-" Jackie's hair turned blue as she looked at her horses. "Someone's comin'!"
Chase went into robot mode and Jackie began to go dragon.
xxx
Blades and Bulkhead were playing Mortal Kombat X, First Aid was with Chroma, and Heatwave was fearing he may not be a Rescue Bot if he messed up.
"What th-?" Bulkhead said as his character got KO'd by Blades.
["Finish her!"]
Blades was still clicking buttons with closed eyes.
[Crack!]
"Oh!"
[Crack!]
"She's crippled," Heatwave said.
[Schclurglrglrglrp]
[SCHICH!]
["Fatality!"]
"Did I win?" Blades asked.
["Lu Tang wins!"]
"Evan and Myles have the youth part of the stasis machine," Jackie said over the comm. "Cody, Chase, Mach, and I are chasing them."
xxx
Cody and Chase were behind Myles and Evan when an old guy decided to cross the street.
Does he not see the police car with flashing lights and sirens? Cody thought to himself.
xxx
The twins couldn't believe it! A horse was coming up on them and they were doing 80mph!
Jackie activated her Agsaber and slashed at the back tires.
POP!
The twins ran into the shipping yard to lose the crazy chick on the horse.
Jackie dismounted Mach.
"Thanks, dude," she patted the stallion's neck.
Heatwave and Chase arrived and let out their human partners.
"What the-? Jackie, did you do that?!" Kade pointed at the busted tire.
Jackie smiled as she deactivated the Agsaber.
Heatwave quickly put Kade in his cab.
"Let's get 'em!" Jackie went a little dragon.
"Hey, we got them!" Kade said as he got out of Heatwave.
Evan shot Heatwave's leg and the beam ricocheted off onto Kade. Then the twins ran.
"What the heck?!" Kade lifted his helmet. "Aw, man! I'm a kid again!" he looked over at Heatwave. "Well, at least I'm not a toddler."
Chase, Cody, and Jackie arrived to where Heatwave and Kade were.
"Well, this is problematic!" Chase said when he saw Heatwave.
Heatwave tried to stand, but he fell onto his behind.
Jackie went all dragon and picked up Heatwave in her mouth.
"Hey, Jackie, what are you doing?!" Cody said.
Jackie looked at Kade for two seconds before walking off with Heatwave.
"Jackie, no! Sit!" Chase said.
Am I a bitch? Jackie growled.
"She's hiding Heatwave," Kade said.
"Why didn't she just say that?" Chase asked.
"Can we please focus on catching Myles and Evan for now?" Cody said.
xxx
A green eyed mech watched his monitor and saw an organic predicon hide a youngling in a crate.
"Darksyde," he called.
"Yes, Master?" Darksyde asked.
"Under the cover of darkness," the mech froze a frame, "get me this youngling."
"What about your little medic?"
"He's a bit too old for my taste. No longer cute."
"What of the predicon?"
"Do what you must..." a clawed hand caressed the image of the youngling.
xxx
First Aid cleaned the Command Center, as he didn't have clearance to go out without a human. All the screens flickered.
"Is that normal?" Bulkhead asked.
"I don't know, maybe," First Aid said.
xxx
"Evan, in here!" Myles said as he dragged his twin into a crate. "No one will find us-"
CLUNK!
Evan punched Myles in the gut.
xxx
Chief Burns was feeling better and went down stairs to tell his family. When he saw a kid Kade and adult Cody he went back to bed.
xxx
KRISH-ISH!
Toddler Heatwave covered his audio receptors as a thunderstorm approached.
Jackie, where are you? I'm scared.
The top of the crate creaked open and someone picked him up.
He smiled until he saw the mech's blood red eyes and stared to panic. A hand went over his mouth to quiet him as a needle went into his thigh. He then passed out.
xxx
"Oh my gosh! Oh, my gosh! OH, MY GOSH!" First Aid san around the bunker in a full-blown panic.
"First Aid, calm down!" Bulkhead said as he grabbed the young medic's arm.
"HOW CAN I WHEN THAT-THAT MONSTER'S BACK?!"
"What's going on?" the now proper aged Kade asked as he slid down the fire pole.
"Heatwave's been bot-napped!" Blades exclaimed.
"BY A MONSTER!" First Aid yelled.
"Got any footage?" Kade asked.
Chase played the footage that caused First Aid to panic.
"'Aid, do you know that guy?" Kade asked.
"Th-th-that's Darksyde, Rotor's second in comm-menya~uhhhh..." First Aid passed out into Boulder's arms.
"We should get him to the medbay," Blades said, "he needs medical attention."
Kade pulled out his iPhone. "I'm calling-"
Ping.
"Did Jackie text you?" Chase asked.
"Apparently, she knows a guy who's helping us already."
Xxx
Heatwave could feel wet grass on his face plates. He opened his eyes and yawned.
"Guys, he's over here!" he heard Jackie shout.
He saw the transmutate and three members of his team running towards him.
"Don't scare us like that!" Kade said as he helped Heatwave stand up.
K-9 started to sniff him. "I'm picking up two, no, three scents!"
"Let's get you back the Griffin Rock," Boulder said as he picked up Heatwave.
xxx
"I'm telling you, I'm fine!" Heatwave said in the morning as he stood up, finally the right age.
"Well, we were scared!" Blades said.
Heatwave walked into a tunnel. "Don't follow me!"
xxx
Heatwave thought about what happened while he was out. He knew how frantic First Aid was when he saw him. Was the mech that took me the guy who hurt him?
"Hey, dude," Jackie said.
"Oh, hi- what is that?" he pointed at the large metal bird on her shoulder.
"Buzzsaw," Jackie scratched the raptor-like creature's chest. "My informant gave him to me last night."
"O... kay?"
"BTW, Rotor's a pervert."
"W-what?" Heatwave shook a little bit.
"My informant told me. Which way to the firehouse?"
Heatwave transformed. "Get in..."
xxx
"Tony's going to go back to California, but I'm staying for a while," Bulkhead told Chief Burns.
"I understand," Chief said.
"I hope First Aid will be okay," Dani said.
"Bulkhead's staying?!"
"Heatwave, First Aid had a bad dream, you won't be in trouble!" Jackie said.
xxx
First Aid was hiding under his blankets when Heatwave came in.
"Can we talk?"
"No."
"It will just be between us," Heatwave sat down.
"Turn off your comm."
Heatwave did that and First Aid told him all about Rotors.
"Don't worry," Heatwave said as he hugged the young medic, "he'll have to go through us to get to you."
"That's what I'm scared of."
