A/N: Ya'll are gonna hate me. Still, remember the family ties and the appearance. We're still in Ani's POV and this is right after the last chapter.


I had closed my eyes for the transformation. Upon reopening them I stiffened. The sleeping holoform beneath me shifted slightly.

It... it was only a dream?

'Some of it.'

Shut up and let me wallow in my self-pity. The voice chuckled again. I smiled. True, the voice caused me to be submissive while I was in the pits, but that was for my good. I rose quickly becoming a gladiator feared by opponents, but loved and respected from fellow gladiators. After I escaped it apologized, I forgave, and we became each others companion.

"Erat an prodigiosus somnium. Spero repetuntur," "It was an amazing dream. I hope some things are repeated," I whispered while looking at the holoform's face. 'Spin looked so peaceful. Even when not fighting 'Spin had this stiffness about him. It was more out of habit though. He was born and raised a Wrecker with a 'the more scars the better fighter' philosophy.

My eyes traveled over all the light scars on the visible parts of his skin. Against my will I reached out and touched one on his arm. It seemed to be the longest of them all, and the most sensitive. My hand whipped back as 'Spin shifted slightly, my eyes darting towards hi luckily still dim sunglasses. They worked just like his real visor. If his eyes/optics were open, it glowed slightly. If they were closed, they were a dim and a darker shade of the Autobot blue.

After he settled I reached out towards the scar. Again, not knowing why. This time 'Spin didn't move as I touched it and ran my fingers along its length. It reached from the tip of his sleeve to halfway down his forearm.

"Having fun?" I jumped and whipped my hand from the scar looking straight at 'Spin's glasses. I was afraid he was angry, but the smirk on his face told me otherwise. I adopted one of my own, only more fiendish than his.

"And what if I am?" His smirk grew as he leaned down closer to my face. My heart started beating faster from his proximity making me want to yell at it. Topspin was only my guardian and a good friend. Right?

"If they kiss I'm gonna puke," two very familiar voices said at the same time. My smirk disappeared as 'Spin and I kept eye contact.

"Do you wanna kill Dan as much as I wanna kill my brother?"

"Oh yes." Before 'Spin could move my form disappeared in a dull purple flash and reappeared standing outside 'Spin.

'Wow that sounds weird.'

I know.

Dan stared wide eyed before slowly backing away. I kept a calm composure and a slight smirk. My voice was much too calm and smooth as I spoke.

"I am going to reformat you as a toaster," Dan seemed to relax slightly. I dropped the façade and snarled these next words. "WHILE YOU'RE STILL IN THAT FORM!" Dan bolted with me giving chase. As we ran around the plane jumping and dodging obstacles I saw 'Spin jump his brother's holoform in my peripheral vision. Dan laughed as I was caught up by an obstacle.

"Denial is the first sign!" I audibly growled and chased with renewed vengeance.

" Zatknisʹ, razdrazhayet izvrashchenets! YA vyrvu tebe novyy, nadratʹ tebe fraggin kormovoy vse puti k Cybertron, povtoryayu,prevratitʹ vas vtostere ya obeshchal! Mozhet bytʹ, ya broshu Shockwave v miks!" *It's Russian, don't try to pronounce it.* Booming laughs told me Cax and Gantole understood Russian.

"What the heck did she say?" Dan asked. Gantole couldn't compose himself so Cax translated.

"Shut up you annoying perv! I'll rip you a new one, kick your fraggin aft all the way to Cybertron, repeat, the turn you into the toaster I promised! Maybe I'll throw Shockwave in the mix!" As soon as he finished everyone was laughing except for Dan, 'Spin, and Twist as I decided to call him. Dan tripped over a crate in his shock allowing me to pounce and keep his hands behind his back.

"Ow, ow, uncle, uncle!" he yelled.

"Say it!" One thing about Dan, no matter what he does, he never apologises. Never. He couldn't apologise to save his life. And that's what he's going to do. I clutched his arms harder, digging my nails into the skin and pressed harder on his spine with my knee.

"OW!"

"SAY IT!"

"Tôi xin lỗi!"

"IN ENGLISH!" My nails dug even harder, if that was possible, and I crossed his arms even more. Everyone else was laughing as Twist apologised as soon as 'Spin pinned him.

"I'M SORRY!" I immediately released and looked over at the now silent group. The laughter died down when they noticed Henry's expression of pure, undiluted shock.

"You just got Dan to apologise! Ani, you're a miracle worker!" Henry exclaimed.

"Well it was either that or explain to Ratchet why I have two broken or dislocated shoulders." Dan glowered at me.

"Hopefully it'll teach you to control that thing on your face." I walked back over to the group but was stopped by a sudden exclamation. By both Dan and Henry. At the same time.

"Quid heck forte comas!" I froze and blinked in surprise.

"What do you mean what the heck happened to my hair?"

"It has yellow highlights. And you're not in the same clothes," Cax answered. I grabbed some hair and pulled it away from my face. Sure enough, the black hair had easily yellow highlights. Wait, BLACK?! Before questioning Dan I looked down at my body. Sure enough, I was wearing a black short sleeve with a yellow stripe across my shoulders and down my sides, black cargo paints with a yellow stripe down the sides, and black combats with a ring of yellow at the very bottom. When I finished studying myself I spun around and glared at Dan.

"It wasn't me!" he said, backing up with his hands in the air. As much as I hated it, I turned towards 'Spin. He did the same.

"I fell into recharge as soon as we were in the air."

"Then who did this?" Everyone was completely stumped until I heard his voice.

"Actually, it was me." I turned very slowly towards the faint purple outline of the mech I really wanted to dismantle.

"Why, would you do, this." At the last word I motioned to my body. I registered the stares but ignored them.

"It looks more like your Cybertronian form. If you return to your human form while having your full armor it'll be all black with black sunglasses and the scars showing."

"I will find a way to hurt you. I don't know how, or when, but I will. I promise." Primus scoffed before fading and disappearing.

"Primus?" Henry asked.

"Yep," I growled. Dan chuckled.

"He's building quite a vendetta with you."

"We're landing soon!" one of the pilots yelled. The four holoforms disappeared in a flurry of sparks as we took our seats. I buckled up and waited patiently as the plane descended. As soon as we stopped moving I unbuckled and waited for the hatch to open. Epps and Lennox were waiting but their expressions turned to shock when they saw me.

"Last I knew you were in a sandy spec ops uniform," Lennox said.

"And you had dark brown hair. Not black with yellow highlights," Epps continued. Another man with skin as tan as mine, a little stubble in a beard and mustache form, and brown hair covered by a bandana walked up beside them and started speaking rapid spanish.

"No puedo creer que fuimos atacados por la mala versión de estos chicos de vuelta al camino. Esto es genial! Oh hey. Wow. Te ves como el opuesto exacto de lo que la forma humana de Bumblebee sería." "I can't believe we were attacked by the bad version of these guys way back when. This is so cool! Oh hey. Wow. You look like the exact opposite of what Bumblebee's human form would be." The second part was directed to me.

"Gracias. Apuesto a que voy a oír mucho de eso hoy. De todos modos, estoy Negro coronel Anima. Este es mi Llama SiC mayor Dan y mi TiC rodadura capitán Henry. ¿En serio?" "Thanks. I bet I'm going to hear a lot of that today. Anyway, I'm Colonel Anima Black. This is my SiC Major Dan Flame and my TiC Captain Henry Tread. You are?"I asked. Lennox froze in the middle of what he was going to say and the man smiled.

"Hah! Someone who can understand me when I flip into Spanish! I'm Fig. I was part of Lennox's team when we first ran into Skorponok." I walked forward and smiled, shaking the mans hand.

"Nice to meet you Fig."

"You can speak Spanish?" Epps asked. Before I could reply Dan walked by.

"She can speak more than Spanish. I think she knows over what? Thirty languages?" Dan directed the last part to Henry.

"Around there."

"How many do you know?" This time Lennox spoke.

"Around ten each." Fig snorted and got a fake glare from Dan. I rolled my eyes and looked towards Fig.

"I believe you've met the others, but not the Wreckers. Allow me to introduce you to Leadfoot, Roadbuster, Topspin, and Twin Twist." The 'Bots transformed as soon as I finished and in someway acknowledged Fig before I noticed the form coming from the background.

"Damn," I muttered. Ratchet appeared from the hangar door and stared at us.

"Everyone who just got off that plane besides the pilots comes with me right now." I sighed and followed complacently, knowing he was cranky. Everyone else followed. Well, except for Twin Twist. I tried to get him to follow but it was too late.

"When I said everyone but the pilots, I meant everyone but the pilots," Ratchet growled. I continued to try and get Twin Twist to move but he wouldn't. He grew a smirk and stayed where he was. Everyone's eyes widened.

"Do you not know what Ratchet does?" I asked. He looked at me confused.

"You're gonna be learning the hard way," Dan chuckled. Twin Twist looked confused but that disappeared as soon as the wrench hit his helm.

"OW!" He clutched his helm as 'Spin dragged his whimpering brother behind him. I rolled my eyes and followed. When we entered the Med Bay I found myself on the ground one second and on a berth the next.

"Ratchet," I whined. "At least warn me." He only smirked lightly before lifting the four soldiers and my two soldiers and assigning each Wrecker a berth. Just my luck 'Spin was given the one right next to ours. Dan smirked before talking.

"Hey Ani, you want this spot so you can be near 'Spin?" I smiled innocently before standing and walking over.

"Sure." I then pushed Dan off the berth with my foot.

"Woah!" A second later we heard a smack and a groan. I looked down to see he landed on his side.

"That's gonna leave a mark," Henry commented. I looked up to see Ratchet glaring at me. I shrugged.

"What? I know our limits. He'll be fine. A bruise probably but nothing else." Ratchet raised an optic ridge but helped Dan back up on the berth. Cax and Wents were outright laughing while Baker and Gantole were failing at trying to contain their laughter. Dan tried to sit back in his spot but I shook my head.

"My spot." I then sat down and crossed my arms. He just rolled his eyes and sat in my old spot. Ratchet was already yelling at Leadfoot for one reason or another. I groaned and leaned against 'Spin's hand that was resting on the berth. Closing my eyes I sighed and waited. This was going to be one long checkup.


A/N: Sorry if it's slow, I'll see what I can do about that. Does anyone know the movie line in there? Anyway nighty-night. It's 12 on a school night.
