As soon as Ironhide and the others disappeared, I pulled away from the window and reactivated my invisibility cloak. I hadn't changed from my alt mode: It slowed down the Energon loss. As I settled down to wait for Ironhide and/or Jazz, Prowl, and Jackie to arrive, my mind took me back to when I was young, and my parents were refusing to let Megatron have me.

"Megatron, you will not take our daughter from us!" My 'father' said as he wielded his sword. My father, Alpha Trion, was one of the most respected people on Cybertron. Megatron's ugly grin had made me cling to my mother's leg. My mother was a Prime named Solus.

As soon as the fight broke out, my mother picked me up and ran. Cons followed her, until she handed me off to one of the palace guards. Then she turned and fought. I remembered looking over Hounds shoulder, and watching as my mother was killed. I know I screamed, and that's how Hound had tripped, then ran into another one of the palace guards.

Something fell in the abandoned room that I was currently hiding in and it jerked me back
to the present. I backed into the nearest corner before I heard the voice. "Damnit Prowl! Can't you be any quieter!? You're going to bring every con within five clicks here!" It was Jazz. "I wouldn't mind that. It would be a nice change." I didn't recognize that voice, but I know it was someone here to help.

At that moment, my invisibility cloak died out. Thankfully, it was dark out. So when a set of lights flashed from across the room, I hesitated for a millicycle, then flashed my lights back, then left my lights on so they could find me.

A split second later, I saw the edge of Wheeljacks swords. I pulled forward, so that they could actually SEE me. "Jazz, Prowl, let's go. Wing will meet us as soon as we are out in the open," That's when I recognized his voice. They all transformed, and Prowl took the lead out, followed by Jazz. It was my turn, but I could feel Jackie's watching me. Trying to shake off that feeling, I drove down the ramp with Wheeljack right behind me.

As soon as Wheeljack and I hit flat ground, Prowl and Jazz immediately took up positions on both sides of me, and Wheeljack moved closer. At first, I was able to stay up next to Jazz and Prowl, but soon dropped back. As we neared the end of the tunnel, Wheeljack moved up and moved me back up where I was supposed to be.

Out of the tunnel, a black and white Cybertronian jet, Wing, dropped out of nowhere and flew low over us. When that happened, I finally understood what their plan was: to keep me covered while we moved back to Iacon. It would work, until one of the seekers patrols caught us. Many miles has past, and no sign of the Seekers.

Until we rounded the last corner to a straight road that about a mile out, opened slightly to the Autobots HQ. So of course, as soon as we rounded it, seven of Starscream's seekers dropped out of the sky. Three of them landed in front of us, while the other four took up positions around us, when we stopped sliding.

That's when Jackie opened a private transmission to me. "If things get crazy, -"

"If things get crazy, I'm blowing things sky high! I'm not going to leave you guys here in trouble." His comment pissed me off.

"I guess it's your life. I'm not taking the blame if you die."

"I can take care of myself! I don't need you guys to babysit me!" I cut the transmission BEFORE he could respond with a smartass answer.

Wing had to pull up to avoid hitting Skywarp, Starscream's second in command. Now he was hovering about 50ft above us, ready to dive in if a fight started. Suddenly he dropped down, transforming, and landed in front of me, blocking me from Skywarp's view. "What do you want, Deceptipunk. We have places to go, your asses to kick."

"Don't make me laugh. Give us the girl and we might let you go," Skywarp demanded.

"How about no?" Jazz and the others had also taken their protoforms and out their backs to me, as I stayed in my alt mode. Skywarp growled.

"How bout we tear you puny scums into pieces and take the femebot?" Skywarp turned to the seeker next to him

"Shut UP Blitzwing!" Everybody around us laughed, even us Autobots had a hard time trying not to laugh.

Warpie turned back to us. "If you really want to die, then continue to protect the girl. Give her up-"Skywarp was cut off as he fell forward, knocked out.

"I really hate that guy." It was one of the arielbots. I didn't know them personally, I barely knew their names.

Right after he said it, Blitzwing turned and receive a face full of Powerstrokes fist. The seekers
jumped into the fight, but were outmatched. Powerstroke, the one Areilbot I actually knew, was fighting Skyquake. Apparently it wasn't a kill mission, from how they were only knocking the cons out. One of the jet twins, I think it was Jetstorm, walked behind Skyquake and punched him in the back of the head, in a vulnerable spot.

Once all the cons had been knocked out, and everyone transformed back to their alt modes,
we headed down the straight away. This time I was able to stay in between Jazz and Prowl, without Jackie's help. As I thought about the underground tunnel, I realized that it was going to be fun trying to figure out who would go first.

Turns out, it wasn't it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. Jazz and Prowl went first.
I followed Prowl, and Wheeljack followed me, and the Arielbots came after Wheeljack. As we drove thru the tunnel, dodging Autobot workers, I listened to what they were talking about. ".. I don't like the look of either of them. That jet sure looks like one of the cons alt modes." I thought about making a smart ass comment back, but didn't.

Soon out of their range, we turned down a different tunnel. This one lead straight to the medbay, and that's where I needed to be. So of course that's where I was stuck going, instead of going to meet up with Ironhide. When we pulled into the medbay, I was shocked.

Ironhide was actually in there, getting chewed out and repaired by Percepter. Ratchet was
off doing who know what. Everybody transformed, even me. Of course, Jackie was right by my side. Percepter glanced over at our little group, then back at his work. "Ratchet! We got more company!" Ratchet walked out of his 'office' and almost ran into Ironhide, who had gotten up, ignoring Percepter's demands to sit back down, and was walking towards me.

"Move," Ironhide ordered Wheeljack, who simply walked away. Next thing I knew, the
ground was rushing up to meet me. I didn't hit the floor, due to Ironhide catching me. He carried me back over to Percepter, and laid me down on the table.

My escort left, one of them giving Ironhide a dirty look on the way out. I laid there, Ironhide standing at my head while Percepter and Ratchet began repairing me. Drifting in and out of consciousness, I heard things that could not be true- that were NOT true. When Ratchet left to go tend to something else, Percepter told Ironhide something he didn't know.

"She was scared for you, ever since Optimus assigned you as her guard." I tried to say something, but Ironhide beat me to it.

"Don't make me laugh. This femebot just faced 1000+ Dark Energon infected drones, plus 3 of Megatronus' best Gladiators, on her own. I hardly doubt she was scared for me." The words 'Megatronus' best Gladiators' caught Percepter's attention, and made him pay more attention to what he was repairing.

Hey guys, sorry I havent updated this one in forever, been trying to work on my Project Freelancer story.
