Skyla's POV

We are about to turn onto the road leading to the base. When Bee slams on the breaks. Raf and I whip forward then we groan in unison as our heads and backs slam against our seat. I rub the back of my neck and turn around to check on Raf.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Raf answers.

"Bee, why did you do that?" I ask as I turn back around.

"Sorry, Skyla, Raph, but I needed to stop so I wouldn't hit the Femee standing in the road," Bee says.

"What Femee?" I ask.

"Look for yourself," Bee says.

A gasp of shock leaves my mouth when I see the light purple femee; she also has some small gold areas on her arms and legs. Something inside me is telling me that Femee is Tech. I undo my seatbelt and open the door.

"Skyla, what are you doing? Ratchet will yell at me if that thing attacks you and you get hurt," Bee says.

"Don't worry Bee I'll be careful. But, I think this Femee is Tech. Megatron must have turn Tech into this,"

I hop out and slowly walk over to the femee.

"Tech is that you? Did Megatron turn you a femee?" I ask.

Tech didn't say a word. I see him..her flip wrist, and her hands turn into blasters. She powers them up and gets ready to shoot at me. I hear Bee tell Raph to get out and take cover before he transforms. The next thing I know Tech fires her blasters, and the energon beams fly towards me. I still can't believe that Megatron turned my best friend and the only family I had before I met Ratchet - dad, Bumblebee and the other Autobots, into a Decepticon. Tech's attack is about to hit me when Bee jumps in front of me. He drops to his knees as the blasts hit him.

"Bee," I shout.

"Don't worry sis, I'm good. I'll distract this con. Go over and stay with Raf till I can call for a bridge back to base," Bee says slowly standing up.

"Bee, Tech isn't a Decepticon. I know Tech wouldn't hurt me. Megatron turned Tech into a Femee and eased all of Tech's memories of me. I know our bond is still there please let me try to talk to her again."

"Skyla, I know Tech is family, but he.. she just shot at you. It looks like Tech doesn't even remember you. I'm going to have to fight Tech," Bee says.

"Bee, if I can remember my past life on Cybertron. I have to believe that Tech can remember me even if he is a femee now."

I start to get upset that Bee doesn't have any faith in me or my instincts. I walk around and stand in front of his right leg. A few seconds later a bunch of purple jets fly in and transform into robots.

"Bee, what are those things?"

"Vehicon troopers," Bee answers.

I clench my fists as anger begins to build up inside me. Then my arms start to hurt as I look down at them to see them covered in metal all the way up to my shoulders. Then I remember how to make my blasters appear above my wrists and start to shoot at the troopers. After I take out three of them, the others begin to fire back at me. Bee saves me by shooting his blaster at the troopers' attack. His attack hits theirs and creates a small explosion when they come in contact with each other. I open my eyes and see Bee punching and blasting the troopers that attacked me. I gasp witnessing another wave flying in and transform with blasters ready to fight him.

"Keep the Autobot busy. The girl is mine," Tech says as she walks out from behind the troopers.

"Tech, please you have to remember that we're family."

Tech didn't respond to me again and aimed her blasters at me. I point my blasters at her to defend myself. I wasn't sure if my arms are shaking because of how heavy they are now or if I was scared of hurting Tech. She fires her blasters, and the energon blasts fly towards me. I'm sent flying when it hits me. I try to stand up once I recover from slamming against a rock.

"Skyla, are you okay?" Bee shouts.

I look down at my right arm. There is a hole just below the shoulder and energon is gushing from it. I place my left hand over to try to keep any more from escaping from it. As I look back up, all I can see is a blurry light purple blob coming towards me. That is the last thing I remember before things quickly fade to black.

Bumblebee's POV
I destroy the last trooper and run over to Tech and kick her away so she wouldn't get any closer to Skyla. I kneel down in front of Skyla. She is laying on the ground unconscious, and there is a small puddle of energon under her right arm. Then I hear a ground bridge portal open. I turn to my right and sigh with relief when Ratchet and Optimus run out of it. They come over to me. Skyla lets out a weak groan as Ratchet scans her.

"Why are her arms covered in metal? Did her cybertronian side activate again?" Optimus asks.

"Yes,"

"Bumblebee, how could you let Skyla get hurt," Ratchet snaps.

Skyla's eyes slowly open and she tries to sit up. Ratchet carefully lay her back down.

"Dad, don't be mad at Bee. I got hurt because I got upset that Megatron turned Tech into a Femee," Skyla says in a hoarse tone.

"Skyla, don't try to talk," Ratchet says in a calm tone.

Skyla passes out a few seconds later. Optimus calls Arcee and tells her to open another ground bridge portal. Ratchet carefully picks Skyla up. I get Raf, and we head back to the base.
