The return of Jazz.

Optimus and the others were on the hill with Sam and Mikaela. The remains of Jazz laid on a flatbed with a cover over him. The Autobots didn't know what to do with his remains nor did the military or the American government.

Ironhide looked up at Optimus as he stood gazing into space. "Where will we place him, Optimus? There is no place where we could hide the location of his placement that anyone could find easily."

Sam looked at them as they talked about where to bury Jazz. "You need a place that no one would think to look."

Optimus looked at the young lad and his faceplate revealed his smile. "Sam, I think you have an idea there. Ironhide, what about her?"

Ironhide looked at Optimus in a strange gaze before he nodded and started to speak in their native tongue. "It is possible."

Sam and Mikaela both wondered who was 'iher/i' as they looked at the two Autobots talking. Sam finally had enough of their squeaks and chirps. "Okay, you two, who is her and what the heck is going on?"

Optimus turned to Sam and spoke, "We have a human friend who we met first before you. We may be able to house Jazz's remains with her."

"Well, okay, if she can house his remains then we better go to her place now. I'll explain things to her if she needs to have an explanation told to her."

Optimus nodded as Sam and Mikaela started to attach the cables to his own cables as he finalized his transformation into truck mode. As soon as they finished, he blared his horn and started to move forth with Sam and Mikaela racing for Bumblebee whose doors were open for them to hop in as they followed behind Ironhide and Ratchet.

"Sam, where are we going?" asked Mikaela.

"I'm not sure, only they know who the female is," Sam replied.

They pulled up to a very isolated looking home as Optimus blared his horn twice before going silent. Sam and Mikaela didn't know what to think would happen next as they stood by Bumblebee. The next sound that they heard was the raising of a garage door and a female voice speaking.

"I see you have found your scout, Optimus." The person said, as Sam and Mikaela watched as a 5ft tall, brown haired woman wearing a trench coat emerged from the garage itself.

"Yes, we have, Tama." Optimus replied, as the woman glared towards Sam and Mikaela as her gloved hand ran over Bumblebee's hood.

"Welcome to my home, Bumblebee." The woman said, as she looked at him before glancing over to the two humans who stood by him. "I am named Tama and I guess you all need to hide out here again?"

Optimus spoke. "Not really,"

Tama looked around and noticed that one was missing. "Where's Jazz? I miss his humor even though he did throw slang into his words a lot."

"Jazz was slain by Megatron, Tama." Ironhide said.

"Where are his remains?" Tama spoke quickly. Ironhide pointed to Optimus's trailer he pulled. Tama walked over to it and without a run to jump onto the trailer or a helping hand up, she was on it within seconds. "Lets see how badly."

Tama pulled the cover off and took a step back, hand to her face. "Oh Jazz!"

Ratchet was first to speak. "You don't have to look at him anymore, Tama."

"Did you check his Spark or his brain yet?" asked Tama, turning to look at Ratchet.

"We did what we could for him, he is gone," the medical robot said.

"Are iyou/i sure about that?" asked Tama, looking at him firmly. The medical robot could not say a word. "Thought so, hang on, I need to pull out my computer gear and run a test on him. He might not be fully dead yet!" Tama hopped off the trailer and by what Mikaela noticed that the trailer looked lighter then it did when Tama was on it. Something was not right.

Soon, Tama hauled out a cart full of computer items on it. She looked at Ratchet and spoke, "You can transform here but I would be very, very careful, Ratchet. The lines are over Optimus right now. You could give him a shock of a lifetime with a jolt from that."

Ratchet transformed carefully avoiding the power lines as he looked at Tama as she hopped onto the trailer again, the tires moaning under the new weight. "What are you searching for, Tama?"

"His mind," Tama replied, as she handedly removed the skull cap of Jazz and put some cords into his brain cavity. She proceeded to type away on the keyboard. She was also mumbling about something. She looked up and said, "We have Jazz!"

Ironhide was the first to speak. "He lives?"

"Yes, he is in critical safe mode to protect everything. He had to turn his Spark to the lowest level he could which mimicked death to you, Ratchet. Now for his body, that will take me at least two to three weeks to get repaired." Tama replied, looking at them. She crouched as she looked at Jazz. "But he may be much harder then I think and it would be longer. But I am estimating two to three weeks."

"You can repair what Megatron did to him? He snapped Jazz in half!" Mikaela snapped.

Tama turned to glare at her before she turned to look at Ratchet. "If I am able to repair him fully, with the stuff I have here, he'll be back to normal but he may have to be transforming into a different car if I'm not able to fix his vehicle shape too."

"As long as we have him in operational form, Tama, which will be good," Ironhide said.

"'Hide, he'll be in operational form by the time I get done with repairing him," Tama replied, as she disconnected her computers from Jazz. "We'll need to get him into his port so I can start working on him."

"I'll help," spoke Ratchet, stepping up.

"As will I," Mikaela said, as she took a few steps up.

Tama glared at her, which Mikaela returned before turning to look at Ratchet. "Okay, I'll get the gate open. Just watch out for the power lines, Ratchet, I don't want to be dealing with a power zapped Autobot just yet." Tama hopped off of the trailer and strode towards the gate that led them into the pasture with Optimus and the others following behind her.

Sam looked at Mikaela and whispered. "Did you see how she reacted to you?"

"Yes, but did you notice what the trailer did when she got on and off of it? No human should have that kind of effect on a trailer like that, something is odd about her." Mikaela replied, as she climbed back into Bumblebee.

Sam looked at her. "Are you sure, Jazz is on the trailer so it would be hard to tell if his weight was the cause, Mikaela." As they drove through the gate and watched as Tama closed it and secured it, before walking past Bumblebee.

"Okay, Bumblebee as soon as you get past the barn, you can transform. Okay?" asked Tama, looking at the yellow Camero. "By the way, nice vehicle form you have."

Bumblebee flashed his headlights as he drove past the barn and allowed Sam and Mikaela to climb out before transforming into his bipedal form as did the others.

Tama was on the trailer once again not with any help from the Autobots as she examined Jazz once more.

"How long do you think it will take, Tama?" Optimus asked, as he looked at her.

Tama sat down on the edge of the trailer looking up at him. She scratched her head with her left hand. "The damage is pretty extensive . . . a lot more then I had assumed. I guess the robot that we had did this?"

They all looked at her weird about that comment. Ironhide was the first to speak up. "Megatron did the damage, Tama."

She nodded her head as she glanced over at Jazz. "I see, I will have to examine him for parts that might be missing if he did pull him apart like it looks like happened." She turned back to Jazz and started to look at the middle where he was pulled apart. She glanced back at Ratchet. "Do you have an image of his internal structure before he was yanked apart, Ratchet? I need to compare what is here with what is missing."

Ratchet made an image of Jazz before he was torn apart for Tama to look at. "Think it will be longer then you think?"

"Possibly, I hope not but you can never tell." Tama replied, as she scanned the image. She shook her head. "Not sure if any piece is missing or not, most likely, we'll find out when we put him back together. Ironhide easy with him, I don't want any parts jarred off him,"

"I'm being careful." Ironhide said, as he lifted one part of Jazz up and walking into the tent where Jazz would stay at.

Ratchet hauled the other piece into the tent and placed it with the other piece as Ironhide walked out of the tent. "Will we start now?"

Tama looked at him and smiled. "Yes, we will start now on the repairs. The sooner the better, Ratchet."

Mikaela stepped up as she looked at Tama. "I will help too."

"I hope you know how to repair a robot, Mikaela and it is not going to be a very easy robot to repair, unlike those toy robots." Tama stated with a hint of disgust in her tone towards her.

Ratchet glanced at Tama as he noticed an accent about her voice that was familiar and yet impossible for a human to have that accent before. He watched as she started to climb up onto the medical table, he reached down and was about to give her a small push. He looked at her when he realized that he scented oil and had felt a difference about Tama's push from his hand. "Tama, are you okay?"

She glanced up at him. "Yes, why do you ask?"

"I am scenting oil." Ratchet replied. His nose went up and down as he scented the air.

Tama glanced at Jazz, and pointed to him. "He's leaking oil right now, Ratchet. We need to start working on repairing him now." She had pulled a step stool and hopped onto the medical bed and started to climb on Jazz to work within the torn section.

They worked on Jazz for a good three hours before Ratchet told them to go get something to eat and then return. Mikaela did hop off the table and started to go for the door when she looked back to see Tama still busy repairing. "Tama, come on, you need something to eat."

Tama glanced up and shook her head. "I'll eat when this is done. I'm at a critical point in this part of the repair." Before she put her head down and started to work again.

Mikaela looked at Ratchet. "I'll bring her something."

Ratchet nodded as he turned back to help with the repairs, he noticed that Tama knew her way around Jazz like she dealt with him before. He shrugged it off as he continued to work on the parts he was working on.

About ten minutes later, the doors slid open wide enough to let Optimus walk within to see Tama and Ratchet still busy working. "How is it coming along?"

Tama withdrew herself from Jazz's cavity that she was in to look at him, her face was coated in mech oil and grease from where she rubbed against a part. "Pretty good, Optimus, I think we might have him done within two weeks."

Ratchet looked at Optimus. "If Tama would stop and get some food into her hungry belly, she'll have enough energy to work later on tonight."

"As I told that other human, I'll eat when I get this part fixed and it may take me a few hours to finish iif/i I'm not interrupted by anyone." Tama snapped off, before stuffing her head and upper body into Jazz's cavity again and started to work again.

They looked at her shocked before turning to look at each other. Ratchet shrugged. "I'll radio you when there is an update on Jazz, Optimus. We need to get back to work."

Optimus nodded as he left the medical bay. He walked to the house where Sam and Mikaela were at. Mikaela looked at him. "She didn't want to come out?"

Optimus shook his head. "She said that she's at a critical point in the repairs and didn't want to leave."

"Well, she'll have to eat sooner or later." Mikaela stated, as she picked up the plate and headed for the bay where Jazz was located at. She glanced over her shoulder. "She'll eat this when she's hungry and when she sees it she'll stop to eat."

Sam shook his head as he looked at Optimus. "Women,"

Optimus stood there with his hands on his own hip shaking his head. "I never had this much problems with my female, Sam."

Sam was taken back by what he heard. He never knew Optimus had a female in his life. He always assumed that the giant Autobot was too involved with his duty to be with a female. "So where is she?"

"Elita-One is hopefully on her way here with more Autobots." Optimus stated. He looked down at him. "She's my girlfriend as you would probably call her, Sam. She would like you. As she would say you got spunk."

Sam smiled. "Gee, thanks, Optimus."

Lennox came out of the house and looked at them both. "We need to talk."

It was around 2am, Mikaela had gone off to bed over five hours ago. Tama was still chest deep in Jazz doing more repairs on him. Ratchet knew she should be growing tired by now since she worked on him without much of a break. She barely ate the sandwich that Mikaela had made and him trying to nudge her to go eat dinner with the others got a glare from her.

Optimus came into the bay and looked at Ratchet. He spoke in their tongue, so she wouldn't know that they were talking about her. "Is she still here?"

"Yes, in Jazz's chest still. I think she is getting sleepy but she's refusing to stop, Optimus." Ratchet replied.

A moment later, they saw her scoot out of where she had managed to put herself within Jazz to fix some parts that was up further than she could reach without going in further. She stretched as she glanced over at the clock and then to Ratchet and Optimus. "Is that clock correct?"

Ratchet nodded. "It is, Tama, you been out here all day and most of the night."

She yawned tiredly. "Yeah, he's so close to being finished. I should stay on and finish."

"We have all day tomorrow to do that, Tama." Ratchet stated.

"Besides, you have done so much on him already, you both are way ahead of schedule on rebuilding him." Optimus said, with his hand he gently encouraged Tama to get onto his hand and helped her to the ground. "You need your sleep, Tama. A tired mind will make mistakes and dangerous ones."

Tama looked at him and knew he was correct as she did tend to ignore her own signs of her being tired. Unintentionally, her right hand went to her left arm as she recalled the last time that happen an accident happened. "I guess you are correct on that. I do need to get some sleep before we have an accident here with the repairs. I'll be back at 6am." She hopped off of Optimus's hand and headed for her home.

"I hope she sleeps late, Optimus." Ratchet whispered.

"I agree, old friend." Optimus replied as he turned to look at him. "So how long do you think it will be before Jazz can come back online?"

"With how long, Tama, Mikaela and I worked on him . . . we might have him online within three to four days." Ratchet replied. "If his memory chips haven't gone totally out, then we got him back, if so, we will have to find a place to make his grave, Optimus."

"We can only hope that they are still functioning." Optimus whispered, before he headed off to his own place to transform at into vehicle mode to sleep the rest of the night away since everyone was resting in their bays. He didn't want to say anything about the weight differences between Mikaela and Tama to anyone. Something was not right with how heavy Tama was.

The next morning, Mikaela was approaching the barn when Optimus called out to her. She jumped as she grabbed her chest as she looked at him. "Morning Optimus, how did you sleep?"

"I slept well. Is Tama coming out?" He asked, as he shifted to his bi-pedal form.

"I thought she came out already. We haven't seen her." Mikaela stated. She glanced back at the house. "Hang tight, I'll go check."

Optimus nodded as he watched as she hurried back to the house. About ten minutes later, she returned at the same pace. He grew concerned as he approached the fence. "Is she okay?"

"She's fine, just sound asleep." Mikaela stated. "I think she'll sleep for hours. One of Lennox's men met up with her last night, she complained about a headache and they gave her one of their aspirin, well, they said it,was but they gave her a tranquilizer pill to make her sleep."

"Are they watching her?" asked Optimus. He was about to assign one of the Autobots to observe Tama's room and her heartbeat.

"Yes, they have someone visit her each fifteen minutes to make sure that there are no problems." Mikaela stated, as she went to the bay and slid the door open to see Ratchet standing there with tools in hand. "Morning Ratchet, Tama won't be coming out today. She's taking a forced slumber."

"Ah, she needed her rest with how long she was here for," Ratchet replied.

"When did she go off to bed?" Mikaela asked.

"About two-thirty in the morning," Ratchet said. "She said that she would return at 6am."

"She won't be here as the others managed to trick her into taking a sleeping pill." Optimus stated, as he looked at him. "So how are the repairs?"

"It will be one week to get everything done, Optimus and then we can work on reviving him." Ratchet said.

"And how will we go about that?" asked Mikaela, looking at the two Autobots.

They looked at her shocked.

"The same way you would with a human whose heart has stopped." Ratchet stated. "I hope we can find a power source that will be big enough to shock him back."

"Yeah, where are we going to find it?" asked Ironhide, as he approached them.

"I'm at a loss." Optimus replied, as he looked at his second in command.

Even Mikaela was at a loss at how to revive him. "Maybe scroll through the web again?"

"No, with how the Decepticons filtered a virus into it even though we were able to disinfect the web, there may still be pieces of it left there. We will just have to wait." Optimus stated.

Mikaela nodded as she and Ratchet went to work on Jazz.

The next morning, the Autobots heard yelling coming from within Tama's home as they saw Lennox and his men running out of the house looking scared as Tama came out with one of their men in her left arm in a headlock. She was yelling at them in various tongues of the planet calling them all sorts of names and then, flung the one who was in the headlock against the wall and pinned him there with her hand.

They all got to where they could move no further. Lennox and his men were trying to pull her hand off his throat as she was snapping off at the guy. She dropped him and turned fast on her heel to Lennox and pointed a finger at him.

"The next time you ever try to drug me, asshole, you will find yourself in more ways than one in a damn bloody fucking body bag!" Tama snarled. "I cannot have any type of drugs like that! It could have killed me!"

"Whoa, we didn't know!" Lennox yelled out, holding up his hands in an attempt at calming her down.

"Well, now you do, asshole!" Tama snapped off as she stalked towards the fence. "And I can have your stripes for this too, asshole!"

They watched as she with one smooth jump over the wire fence stalked towards the bay that held Jazz.

"You sure know how to piss her off, dude." As they all headed back inside the house to clean up the mess that they had made in an attempt to get away from Tama.

Lennox turned to look at Sam and Mikaela. "Just stay out of her way. All ten of us could not budge her hand on his throat. She could have . . . easily snapped his neck with how strong she is. For someone who doesn't look strong, she's strong and she's really riled up so stay away from her till she cools down."

They both nodded as they looked towards the bay where they saw Tama climb onto the bed where Jazz was at and started to work on the Bot once again. Ratchet strode over to assist, which actually got a smile on her face as they worked.

Several hours later, Tama was standing by the bay talking to Ironhide about cutting some trees down in the far field for the fire she needed.

Sam looked at her. "Why do you need trees for, Tama?"

"I need my furnace to be a very high level of heat to melt Jazz's damaged metal down to where I can pound it out flat again." Tama stated. "The only way to repair that is by melting it down."

Sam shook his head. "Do you know how hot their skin needs to be heated to?"

"Yeah, the heat the furnace will produce will be way over your heat limit, Sam." Tama replied, with a smirk on her face.

"Can you handle it?" He asked.

"Sure can." Tama replied. "I'm not your ordinary human." And with that said she walked away from him towards what looked like a forge.

"What do you mean by that, Tama?" He asked, as he watched her pull her hair into a ponytail.

Tama watched as Ironhide broke the wood into smaller pieces and she took them from him as she stuffed it into the furnace to start burning. She looked at them as she stepped from them. "It will take about an hour before the furnace is hot enough to put the metal into it and then I can start hammering it out."

An hour later, Tama was standing by the furnace getting the metal out by long handle tong and placing it on an anvil and with a Japanese song playing in the background, she started to hammer it out with time to the music. Every ten minutes, she would step from the forge for a few minutes before she returned to the anvil and the hammer.

The metal was smooth looking after two hours of hammering. Tama emerged from the forge with the small part to Jazz's skin formed to fit Jazz as she handed the piece to Ratchet to install as she stood there watching.

It was not long before Jazz was finished with being rebuilt. Ratchet turned to look at Tama. "It is done, now all we have to do is revive him."

"Bring him over where I'm walking at, Ratchet, this is where I'll bring him back." Tama stated, as she walked away from the barn to where the electric line was located at near to her home. She pointed in the spot Jazz should be laid at as she looked up at the pole and the lines. "It will be tricky getting up there and snapping it, but I think I can do it."
"Do what?" asked Lennox, looking at her.

She looked at them and pointed to the house. "Every human should be on the deck when I make my move or otherwise, you will be killed. And I am not whistling Dixie either."

Lennox nodded and started to order his men back to the deck, where they watched what was happening by Jazz. "What is she going to do?"

Sam shrugged. "I hope she can bring him back. What is she doing?"

Then they saw Tama start climbing up the telephone pole like it was nothing till she was standing on the small top looking down and around her. She looked over at Optimus and told him that they need to move back a way as this will go free after she does what she's supposed to do. After they moved back, they watched in horror as Tama jumped with her left hand extended grabbing hold of the top electric line and dropped dead center into Jazz's spark plate and she shoved the line directly into it. She was flung off of it when the surge went through the Autobot's form.

The humans tried to get close but the electric line was flapping away like crazy which kept them at bay, as Tama stood up and lunged for the line and wrapped it around the other pole from which is was attached to. What made them all stop was Jazz sitting up. He was alive!

"What's shakin' bitches?" He said as he looked at them all.

"Jazz, you're okay?" asked Ironhide, shocked by the revival of his friend.

Jazz stood up and looked around. "How did I get back here from the battle? Was I seriously injured?"

Optimus stepped up to him and nodded. "You were supposedly killed, Jazz by Megatron pulling you apart."

"I remember fighting him and hearing him saying something about wanting two and then nothing till now." Jazz replied.

The sounds of vehicles were heard as Ironhide raced to where he could see who was approaching as he pulled his weapons. "Someone's coming!"

Tama didn't even flinch as Ironhide pulled his weapons out. "Don't, they're for me!" She yelled out as she walked towards the edge of the house as four black SUV pulled up and men in black suits started to rush towards the back pulling out equipment, one was a medical bag as they, then approached Tama.

"Tama, we need your data line so we can do a complete scan of your system." Spoke a male as he held a computer in his other hand.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the whole bloody fucking routine, boys." Tama stated as she pulled out a cord from her jacket and handed it to them.

For several minutes they stood there gazing at the computers as one of the men in black started to examine Tama. Then, he said a word about undressing.

Obviously, that was not a good thing to have asked her as she blew her top at him. She barked off at him in various tongues as the other men yanked the cord from their computer and the cord that was now loose went zipping back into her jacket as she stalked towards the male who had asked the question. He raced back into the black van and leapt within it.

"That van will not save your fucking ass!" Tama roared as she stalked towards the van. Her left hand flexing menacingly as she approached the van.

The other men yelled at her to stop and back away from the van that he didn't really know she didn't like being asked that question. One of the men turned and made an order as every man in black immediately drew back away from the entire scene. The one who had made the order pulled out a gun and placed in the chamber a strange feathered bullet. He barked off. "Tama, stop what you are doing or I will be forced to use lethal force!"

Tama growled off and before the man could say anything, she raised her left hand and slammed it right into the door of the van punching through the metal grabbing the other male by the arm. Tama pulled her left arm out and then yanked the door right off its hinges.

The man who had made the order to Tama raced around her and took aim at her and fired his gun, but by then the van's door blocked the feathered bullet. "Damn it, Tama! How many fucking trucks are you going to fucking ruin?"

"As many as I bloody fucking want!" She roared, as she stalked towards him. "Besides, I did not order your appearance here at my farm! You know when I call on my team, it will be by phone only!"

The others watched in horror as they saw her yank the door off with one hand. One of the guys whispered. "Remind us not to piss her off."

"Yeah," Lennox replied as he started to step towards the men in an attempt to find out what was going on for real, when one of the turned to look at him.

"You need to stay back. She is lethal right now and we're about to lose a vehicle to her." He stated.

"What do you mean?" Lennox asked, but the man didn't answer as the meaning came a moment later.

Tama flung the man and the door off of her left arm and she dove to the front of the vehicle and without looking kicked it with both feet sending it crashing into the woods as she stood up and started to stalk after the five men, her left hand opening and closing menacingly.
Optimus knew the scene was about to get more dangerous as he carefully went under the electric line and placed his hand in front of her and asked her to calm down.

"Calm down! Calm down!" she roared, unintentionally speaking his native tongue. "I will not fucking calm down! They had no right to show up here! I did not order them to come here!"

Her men swore heavily as they heard the clicks she did, they turned to the military men and said, "Whatever you heard, it is classified top top secret. You need to forget what you heard as of right now."
Lennox shook his head. "Sorry, but whatever she is saying is their language." Lennox pointed up to the Autobots who stood looking shocked at Tama.

The men in black turned to look at the alien robots that stood there. "Oh shit. TAMA! What in the world are these?"

Tama got control of her temper after she realized what she had just done. "Crap." She walked over towards them, glancing at her men. "I'm calmed down now, boys. You can put away the tranquilizer guns now."

Sam looked at her as she walked to the garage and leaned against it. "Tama, what are you?"

"You want to know?" Tama asked.
"Yes, we all do," Lennox said, as he turned towards her.

"Alright, I will tell you along with showing you," Tama stated. "I am not . . . fully human,"

Stay tuned, the next chapter of this series is coming.
