Okay here is the next chapter. Wanted to get it up before I leave for the weekend. So enjoy!


Lizy went to one of the back rooms of the base, where her motorcycle was kept. It was getting dark outside, and it was time for the ride she'd promised herself. She walked up to it, checked its fuel, then grabbed her helmet off the seat and put it on. Then she quietly walked the motorcycle out the back door.

As she took off down the street, away from the base, she thought about what had just happened. She loved Prowl very much, but somehow he could just be so infuriating sometimes. It made her wish that she could find someone who she could be close to someone who would understand her better. Prowl was her father, but he just didn't get some stuff. And he especially didn't get some things because he was an alien robot.

Lizy twisted the handle of her bike a little, feeling it speed up faster. It felt good to be able to go fast and without having to worry about pedestrians. It was late out so there really wasn't a lot of people or cars around for that matter.

She took a turn up ahead and felt her back tires spinning to grip the road. It finally found purchased on the slick pavement and the bike took off again.

Lizy continued to drive around the city, enjoying the fact of freedom at the moment. She enjoyed being able to out of the base at night, without anyone following her. It was hard for her to sneak out without being caught by any of the others. But she had put Prowl's training into good use with the sneaking out. They had yet to detect her going out, without permission.

Eventually she came to an interconnecting, four-way street where a large traffic light hung above the center of the merged roads. She noticed that the yellow light was lit as she approached, and it quickly changed to red by the time she got near it. Even though there were only a couple of other vehicles on the road, she came to a halt before the red light. She would have preferred to keep going, but she didn't feel like breaking the law, and she knew that Ratchet and Prowl would probably have a fit, in their own way, if she got into an accident.

And it turned out that it was a good thing she stopped, because if she had kept going she may have run smack into a car that darted across the road from her left, speeding by almost too fast for comfort. Lizy shook her head as she watched it whiz past. Part of her wondered why that driver was in such a hurry, but quickly dismissed it.

She heard a noise behind her, and she turned to notice another motorcycle pulling up behind her. Curious, she looked over her shoulder to glance at the rider behind her. He was dressed entirely in black, wearing a light jacket, a pair of gloves on his hands, a pair of black pants, and his helmet and visor covered most of his features.

Lizy started to turn her head away to keep him from seeing too much of her features, when she noticed something odd about him. When he turned his head a certain way, the street lights caused something on his face to shine and reflect the light, something that looked like dark blue metal.

Eyes widening, Lizy found herself turning back to stare at the person behind her. Had she been seeing things?

He then backed off a bit, apparently uncomfortable with her staring at him. Lizy turned her head away, and slid her motorcycle off to side of the road. She would allow him to pass by her once the light turned green, then she would follow him. Maybe, just maybe, she could get a better look at him, or at least find out where he was going.

It didn't take long for the light to change to green, and the man behind her revved the engine on his bike and sped by her so quickly she couldn't get a good look at him. She then kicked her own bike into gear, so to speak, and took off after him like a shot.


Meanwhile, back at the base, Prowl was relieved from monitor duty by Bumblebee, who didn't seem to happy about that. Then again, Bumblebee could always find something to complain about, it seemed.

The ninja then contemplated going to check on Lizy, although he figured she might be sleeping by now. However, before he could continue the train of thought much, he was approached by Optimus Prime, who was closely followed by the medical bot.

"Prowl," the Autobot leader said, "I want you and Ratchet to accompany me to the ship."

"May I ask why we're going back there?" Ratchet asked somewhat grumpily.

"Because Starscream is still on the loose, and I don't want to risk the Allspark falling into his hands again," Prime said.

"But wouldn't the Allspark be safer at the bottom of the lake?" Prowl asked.

"Yeah, plus the Decepticon doesn't even know where our ship is," Ratchet said. "And the water interferes with sensors."

"I would just feel more comfortable if the Allspark was in a place where we could keep an eye on it," Optimus said. "Our base has a basement, so we can put it down there, and we can line the room with heavy metal to interfere with Decepticon scanners."

"Well, that sounds like a good plan I guess," Ratchet said.

"Alright then, transform and roll out!" Optimus said, and they did.


Meanwhile Lizy continued to follow after the guy on the bike, making sure to keep some distance between her and him. As of right now he didn't know of her following, or at least she hoped not.

She wanted to know what was up with this guy. There was something odd about him and she was determined to find out what.

What Lizy didn't know was that the guy was well aware of her following behind him. She was good on that bike of hers; he had to give her props. But he could tell that she hadn't had her license for the motorcycle very long.

He quickly took a turn and moved down an abandoned street, quickly hiding down an alleyway. There he waited until she had drove passed, not even realizing that he was no longer in front.

When he was sure she was a little ways away, he drove after her. He cut the lights on his bike, something that she didn't do, which is how he noticed her in the first place.

By the time Lizy finally noticed that the man was behind her. As soon as she noticed this, she swerved to the side of the road, startled. This caused the stranger to react as well, and he ended up slowing down and then slamming the front wheel of his bike into hers, knocking it over and sending her tumbling to the ground.

He then swerved to the side and brought his bike to a halt, then jumped off of it and dashed toward Lizy. He grabbed her roughly by the shoulders, shoving her into a seated position against the front of an old abandoned building and clamping his hand over her mouth, while using his other hand to hold her arm.

It was then that he noticed her face, and noticed that the arm he was holding felt hard and solid, not like the normal soft flesh of a human arm. He gasped softly, shocked. Then he slowly moved his hand away from her mouth, narrowing his eyes. "Who the hell are you?" he asked.

Lizy growled up at him. "I could be asking you the same thing. Look what you did to my bike." Gesturing to her motorcycle, which lay on the ground, from when she had fallen.

He looked back at both of their bikes before switching his gaze towards her again. A surprised look came into his features as something sharp was placed up and under his chin. Upon looking down he was surprised to find a black and blue bladed sai in her left hand.

"I believe you should let go of me now." She hissed, pressing the blade further into his skin.

He quickly did so, earning himself a kick to his stomach area, one that would have hurt had it not been for the clang of metal hitting metal.

Lizy surprised at the sound, tried to recover quickly, but was beaten to it as the guy in front of her went for the weapon. Not wanting to lose her gift from Prowl, Lizy fought back, lashing out at the guy as they struggled to get the weapon away from the other.

The guy was able to fling away the sai, where it landed loudly on the ground.

Lizy was angry, because if that sai was damaged he was so going down for ruining. Even though she knew, it was near unbreakable that still didn't mean treating the weapon badly. Prowl had taught her that the weapon was a part of her and that it should be treated with respect.

She looked back at the guy. "That was a gift from my father," she growled at him.

The guy blinked. "Your father?" he repeated. "That didn't look like a normal weapon to me, and for that matter, YOU don't look normal." He narrowed his eyes. "Besides, you were the one who tried to use it on me."

"Only because you were pushing me against a wall and holding a hand over my mouth!" Lizy spat back.

"That's because you were following me!" the guy shot back. "Why the hell were you following me?"

"Because of THIS!" Lizy stabbed her finger against the metal on his left cheek. He definitely had metal armor instead of normal skin there, just like she had some metal armor on the right side of her face. "I don't see a whole lot of humans going down the street who look like I do!" she added.

The guy shook his head. "I don't get it," he said, and made a move to pick up the weapon that had flown from her grasp. She tensed, looking like she was ready to make a move to prevent him from grabbing it, but he held up his hands in a peaceful gesture. Then he slowly reached down and picked it up, then held it out in front of him. He wasn't holding it in a threatening way, but he wasn't quite offering it to her, either.

"If I give this back to you," he said slowly, "promise you won't try to use it against me again?"

"So long as you don't touch me again," Lizy snipped.

He nodded and handed her sai back to her, which she took and began looking it over thoroughly. Even though it was dark out, there was still enough light from a nearby lamppost to see. There was no damage done to the sai, as she breathed a sigh of relief.

Well at least now, she wouldn't have to explain to Prowl if she ended up ruining it. At least she wouldn't have to explain herself to Prowl. Oh shit!

Her eyes went wide at the realization that she had to get back to the base, before the autobots realized that she was missing. She ran over to her forgotten helmet and fallen bike.

Lizy lifted it up off the ground and turned it back on. A hand being placed on her handlebar stopped her from spinning the bike around and taking off. "Where are you going?' the guy asked.

She sighed and lifted up her visor. "I have to go back, before the others and my father realize I'm gone."

He pulled his hand back and the mention of her father. "I see, well good luck."

Lizy watched him walk over to his bike and pick it back up as well. "Hey," she called up to which he looked at her. "I'll see you around." He nodded his head as she spun her bike around and took off, leaving him behind.


He watched her go then he shook his head slightly and got onto his bike. Part of him contemplated following her, just to find out where she was going so that maybe he could meet up with her again. Yet he had no idea who she was, or who those "others" were, or most specifically, who her father was.

Just then his cell phone rang. He groaned, and pushed all thoughts of the girl he'd just seen out of his mind. "Yes?" he said into the phone, sound slightly annoyed.

"Zac, its Powell," came the voice of his boss. "I want to know if you've made any progress yet on getting the item I asked you to get for me."

"No not yet, I got kinda… side-tracked," Zac answered, and frowned. "Listen, Mr. Powell… I need to ask you something."

"What is it?" Now it was Powell's turn to sound annoyed. Obviously he was only interested in getting his hands on the item he'd sent Zac to get for him.

"Did you do work on anyone else? I mean, have you made any more half-robots, other than, well, the ones I already know about."

Powell didn't reply right away; he seemed to be hesitating. "No there hasn't been. Why?"

Zac frowned. "Nothing. I'll go get what you want… over and out." His thumb pressed the cell phone button to kill the connection.

He got back on his bike, placing on his discarded helmet and started it up. His mind went back to the girl he had just met and he wondered where she had gotten the black and gold armor she sported. All of her right side and leg were made up of the armor and seemed to be a lot worse then his.

He shook his head and took off in the opposite direction of the girl, heading towards his main destination. Zac wanted to get the thing for Powell as soon as possible and get back.


Alrighty, another chapter down and we both would appreciate it if you please left a review!
