Hey hey everyone! Thanks for reading this fic, now we are getting to the good part. Last time Thorn announced about the girls going with the Auto-bots they didn't take it too well so let's see how the react further along shall we?

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

~Tara's POV~

I coudln't believe what I was hearing coming out of Thorns mouth, "Ok who or what", I said glaring that the blue truck behind her then continued. "Brainwashed you?!".

She rolled her eyes at me and laughed, "No one. Listen its a long story, and I promise it will be explained but hear me out. These guys know exactly why we have mutated and maybe just maybe they can help us, their leader well the alien robot leader Optimus Prime", she said gesturing to the blue truck behind her. "Promised that he and his team will do everything they can to get us back to normal."

This was big news I let everything she told me sink in, I had always wanted an explaination to why we mutated like this and have been wanting to get rid of my powers. Not a day goes by that I don't worry about my powers activating on their own. I knew that Thorn practically felt the same way only I think she she felt stronger then any of us, and who could blame her?

"Look guys", Thorn said as she looked at the ground and sighed. "You don't have to come with me if you don't want to", this took me by surprise I looked at Laura and Kelsea and by the look of their faces I could tell they were just as shocked as I was. "You guys are able to hide your powers, and you are able to be normal anytime you want. I can't, if you want to keep your powers or don't want to go through with this then I understand. You have a choice in this, I don't I need to get rid of this arm if I ever want to be human again then I have to go with them."

I looked at Thorn then at Laura, and Kelsea they in return nodded their heads at me for all of us were thinking the same thing. In unison all three of us crossed our arms and glared. "Your kidding right?", we then said simultaneously making Thorn's eyes widen.

"Thorn I can't believe you'd think we wouldn't go with you", Laura said harshly. "We have been through too much together I couldn't bare it if we seperated now sure I can control my power and hide who I am from the world. But that does mean I can hide who I am from myself. My powers may heal but they cause nothing but pain for me."

"I agree with Laura", Kelsea said. "Sure I can control my powers but that doesn't deny that they are still there. I mean what if I get pissed at one of you guys and hit you using my super strength? That would be the worst for me I'm with you all the way."

I smiled at the two and decided that it looks like it was my turn to be the inspiring one. "Thorn the way I see it is that we all have a reason to want to be normal, but its more then that. We got to stick together you guys have been the only family I have ever had, were sisters and sisters stick together. No matter the obstacle if one of us goes then we all go and that's that. We are all we have now so there is no way in Hell that we will let you leave unless you are taking us with you". I then smiled and walked towards her Laura and Kelsea following my lead together we embraced each other in a big group hug.

I look at Thorn she was smiling and nodding as she hugged the three of us back, "Thanks guys", she told us. "I was hoping you'd say something like that, I never want to lose you either." We then let go of each other and smiled.

"Well umm I'd hate to interrupt", said the soldier with the blond spiky like hair they called Major Lennox. "But were missing two girls here".

I growled when he reminded me and turned to Thorn again forgetting she didn't know about Amber and Jessica's betrayal. "Thorn there is something you need to know about Jessica and Amber".

She tilted her head curiously at me then smirked, "Oh so they betrayed you guys right? Thought we'd never get rid of them".

I felt my jaw drop as I looked at her bemused. "Wait you knew this would happen?", I asked.

She looked at me and nodded, "Of course".

"Then how come you let them join our group if you knew this was going to happen?!", Laura cried

"Because if I said no then it'd be suspicious, look guys I heard them talking before they made contact with us. They were spies if we refused them they would have spied on us anyway. And gotten information, by letting them join our group it was easier to make sure they didn't get anything good or useful. I don't know who sent them but this way whoever they are they didn't get squat. Remember keep your friends close your enemies closer", she said with a wink.

As much as I wanted to smack her I decided to calm down and smile with her, she just wanted to protect us so I'd forgive her this time. But the next time she ever hid anything from us I was going to slap her silly.

"The two girls don't have any spark powers", Thorn told the Major. "They just said they did to fool us, so there is no need to search for them."

The Major got a little tense at first and looked like he wanted to argue but saw the angry glares Laura, Kelsea, and myself were giving and decided to back off. "Ok well then", he said and turned to the African-American soldier they called Epps. "Call the rest of the team and tell them were heading back to base as soon as these girls are ready."

"Which is right now", I told him putting my hands on my hips impatient. He jerked at me and looked at everyone of us straight in the eye.

"But don't you need to pack or something?", he asked a little confused.

Kelsea laughed and shook her head, "Oi we live in a junkyard dude does it look like we have anything? The only thing we are bringing with us are the clothes on our backs".

I laughed and shook my head, "Hey all I really care about is finding out who knocked me out cold", I said rubbing my head for it still hurt like hell. I then glanced just in time to see the skinny teenage boy look at his yellow camaro with black racing stripes as he stepped back the car backed up as well. Immediately I knew who and what had knocked me out cold, and already the wheel were turning in my head to get my revenge.

~Major Lennox~

It didn't take long for the rest of my men to return, as soon as they did one problem remained. "Ok soo....how are we getting these girls back to base?", I asked Epps. He sagged his soldiers and looked at me as if I said something stupid which I probably did.

"You serious man?", he asked me and rolled his eyes. "The same way we came genius. Just devide them into groups of two and have them hitch a ride with two Auto-bots may I suggest Rachet and Optimus considering Ironhide is still pissed about that Kelsea girl denting his armor, and that Tara girl is pissed off at Bee for knocking her out." He continued as he walked over to our squadron and gestured for them to get in the back of Ironhide.

I pointed my finger at him about to say something but stopped and nodded, "Good plan that is a good plan", I said giving him a thumbs up as I walked back over to the girls. "Ok ladies this is how its gonna go, two girls will go with Optimus two will go with Rachet", I said pointing to who Optimus was and who Rachet was. "Were then gonna take a cargo jet back to our home base in Diego Garcia, there we'll get you girls all set. Washed up, get you a hair cut and some fresh clothes hope you girls don't mind army uniforms its pretty much all we have, and a decent meal. We'll then have a physical exam for each and every one of you. After that we'll leave everything into Rachet's hands", I said walking over to the yellow ambulance and patted on his hood. "Ok?", I asked.

The girls looked at each other smiled and nodded, "Were pretty much ready when you are Major", Laura said to me and I nodded.

The girl then devided into groups of two, Laura and Thorn with Optimus Tara and Kelsea with Rachet. As soon as they were loaded I headed to my mode of transportation myself but not before stopping in front of Sam and Mikaela. "Ok guys would you mind coming along with us, I need to talk to the two of you and Optimus has something he wants to talk with you about also Bee."

The two looked at each other no doubt wondering what we could want to discuss with them. "Should we go along? I mean you don't have to if you want I could just", Sam said nervously for some reason. Mikaela laughed as she walked to the the passenger seat and sat herself inside.

"You coming or do you want to hang out at the junk yard?", she asked him jokingly. Sam then followed her example as he hopped into the drivers seat and Bee revved his engine ready to go.

I rolled my eyes and laughed seeing again exactly who was wearing the pants in the relationship, I then got into the drivers seat in Ironhide's alt mode and then signaled for everyone to get moving. Optimus headed out first and after that we all went in single file, I sighed as I leaned back in my seat. "Well guys its gonna be a long day as of now lets see if we can help these girls", he said.

-Hours later at Diego Garcia aka NEST base-

~Thorn's POV~

It surprisingly didn't take as long as I thought it was gonna, though I really had no idea how long exactly it took. Once we landed on their base and unloaded I couldn't help but we awestruck this place was huge not just the land but the base itself. It was obviously built for the Auto-bots so that they could walk around in their full size. "This is pretty incredible", I said and looked to see Laura nodding in agreement with me.

The outside was one thing but the inside was an entirely different matter there really was only one word to describe it as huge, we got three feet inside but were then stopped as three female soldiers came up to our group lead by Major Lennox. They then saluted him and he saluted back. "Adease", he said and turned to us. "Girls this is Lacy Winters, Esther Witherspoon, and Candace Banker, they'll get you all clean up and taken care of before your physical. Just follow them and we'll come fetch you when your ready."

I eyed the soldiers suspicious but then shrugged and nodded and followed. And that's when our biggest challenge began, living on the streets for two year you really don't care about taking care of yourself, it felt like it had been ages since we had been in a shower. It took us at least an hour and a half and frequent repeats of shampoo and conditioner till finally we got ourselves clean. That was the easy part the hard part came next when the three soldiers called in reinforcements as they held us down so that they could brush our hair.

"Ow! Hey that hurts quit it!", we all cried knowing Kelsea trying hard not to punch them all off of her, Tara not trying to turn into her defensive mode and I myself was restraining the urge to turn my arm into some sort of weapon. I had to suck it up but man it was like my nots had nots, finally in about a half hour I could feel the brush easily go through my hair all detangled. I sighed in relief feeling the pain gone.

As expected we were handed clean clothes only like Lennox said they were army uniforms, luckily they were uniforms I could handle just cameo cargo pants, and white tank tops, and cargo boots. We put them on only to hear Tara complain about it, she was more into fashion then any of us but deep down all of us were glad just to have clean clothes again.

We then headed over to what looked like the place soldiers got there hair cut, at first I thought they were going to give us a military cut. But Lacy eased my fear when she told me the barber had gone to beauty school and knew about our situation. We also would be able to get it stylized if we wanted.

I didn't want much done just a hair cut to my shoulder blades, I then asked for my hair to be put into a high ponytail and the barber did it with ease as if she had done it hundreds of times.

Laura went with the simple approach also a trim and a few highlights done was all she wanted, the highlights had brought out her emerald eyes nicely and I gave her a thumbsup once she was done.

Tara wanted to get more into style she got a trim of course so to get rid of split ends, but her hair still remained about a little longer then shoulder length. Her hair was then layered and was given side-swept bangs, she also wanted a few red highlights. It suited her nicely she then proceeded to stand up and model in front of us, I laughed. In truth she looked really good in that uniform it brought out the natural look of her tan like skin. With her cerluean eyes just standing out all on their own.

Once Kelsea was done she did the same and modeled she got her hair cut shorter and also requested for her hair to be put in a Victoria Beckham bob look with side swept bangs. She was then given new glasses with black frames, which brought out her brown eyes nicely. In a way she looked like a sexy librarian/soldier I laughed and clapped as the girls stroke poses and tried to get Laura and I to do the same. I stood my ground and shook my head.

As soon as we were all cleaned up Lacy, Esther, and Candace lead us to what looked like a lounge. "Now stay put while we come back with your meal it'll take about a few minutes so be patient", Esther told us. I nodded at the girls who smiled in reply and batted their eyes all innocent like.

Once they left Kelsea and Tara stood up and looked around to see if anyone was watching, "Hey guys I say we go explore this place a bit", Kelsea said to us and Tara nodded her head in full agreement.

"You can't be serious", I said shocked they'd suggest it well not too shocked. "We could get in serious trouble for that".

"Come on Thorn what are they gonna do? Punish us? Were not soldiers their gonna fix us then probably put us in foster homes or something anyway we may never get another chance like this", Tara said.

I looked at Laura for support and to help me convince them otherwise but she bit her lip and stood up. "Ok I'm in", she said.

"Laura!", I cried standing up. "You guys this is a bad idea".

"Come on Thorn just a little look around then I promise we'll come right back before anyone notices were gone, look only a few amount of people know were here and with how we look now no one will recognize us its the perfect chance please?", Kelsea said and begged me.

I looked at all three of them and sighed in defeat, "Fine", I agreed. "But we come straight back in ten minutes got it?". They nodded and the three of us quickly snuck out of the lounge and quickly made a break to a dark hallway past where anyone could see us. We kept our eyes open for anyone we saw but also looked around amazed by the very sight of the place.

"So many rooms", I said seeing many doors all of them transformer size. "I wonder how much goes on here".

"Hey guys check this out!", I heard Tara cry as she pointed to one of the doors at the end of the hall. We ran after her and saw what she was staring at. "Keep Out", she read out loud seeing the sign. "Well this one is under big lock and key you need a password to get in", she said pointing to the pad in front of us. "There are two this must be for the human entrance, if only we knew someone who could crack it", she said and sneered at me.

I knew immediately where this was going and shook my head, "No absolutely not we are not breaking and entering, this is secret confidential Keep OUt generally means no one may enter".

"Then how come its even here?", she asked me as the other two giggled. "Thorn please I'm curious this is the only one that says keep out lets look inside then we'll go back straight to the lounge I promise".

I said and held my head in my hand then glared as I turned my arm into wires that I could insert into the key pad and crack the code with. "You owe me Tara", I told her seeing her smile like a child. After that it didn't take me that long to crack the code as soon as I did the doors opened and together we walked inside. It was dark except for a few little lights that looked like they were from some kinda computer.

I then was able to find a light switch and turned pushed it up the whole room then errupted with light and everyone of us shrieked a little seeing the sight before us. In the middle of a room was an Auto-bot a silver Auto-bot only a little smaller then the others, he was placed on what looked like a giant metal bed a few feet off the floor. The four of us stopped closer and gasped at what we saw, this Auto-bot somehow was torn right in half, it looked like someone had been doing a few repairs but didn't make much progress.

"Oh...oh my god", I could hear Laura say as she stroked the Auto-bot's armor. All of a sudden what looked like blue energy serged from her hands I could hear her scream and saw her try to pry her hand from the Auto-bot but it looked like wasn't able to. "I'm stuck!", she cried.

Quickly Kels, Tara, and I ran to her and tried to pry her off but then blue light emerge from us as well from my arm, from Tara's hand, and Kels's left wrist the blue energy then doubled around Maple's hand. I then glanced at the robot and gasped, "Guys look this energy its healing the Auto-bot Laura you can heal Auto-bots!", I cried seeing the armor and metal fibers put themselves together, parts that were damaged completely started to fix themselves. In about three minutes the completely broken Auto-bot was fixed good as new. The blue energy then faded and all of us fell backwards from the force of pulling Laura back.

"Ow", we said in unison as he helped each other up, as I helped Tara I glanced at the Auto-bot awestruck, I walked over to get a closer look once I was right next to him I heard a groaning noise. I looked at the girls who were searching the room for the source of the noise I was confused until I heard something move behind me. Slowly I turned my head and saw the silver bot slowly turn its head in my direction. He then slowly opened his eyes or Optics whatever they called and stared straight at me, at all of us.

"Oh shit we are so in trouble", was all I could say and nothing more wondering if what we just did whatever we just did was a good thing or a bad thing.
