Chapter 12

Lori awoke some time later feeling more tired then ever. She felt so tired it hurt. She moaned and felt her forehead. It was quite warm. Great, she thought, I'm catching a fever.

"Are you awake?" Rodimus Convoy asked.

She nodded, and asked, "Where are we?"

It was Galaxy Convoy who replied, "On Planet Seibertron. Don't worry, we're almost to First Gunner's office." Lori wanted to ask why Galaxy Convoy was there, but she fell asleep instead.

Rodimus sighed, "I hope she's okay. My scans show that her blood temperature is higher than it should be."

They reached First Gunner's office in the Sky Dome and Galaxy Convoy knocked. First Gunner invited them in, amused that Rodimus had to drive through the door since he couldn't transform with a passenger. It wasn't an easy task because of all the equipment First Gunner had, and his swearing woke Lori up again. As soon as Rodimus was inside, he let her step out and transformed. Lori looked at him, confused. He didn't have his weapons pack or faceplate, and his horns were lying down on the sides of his head.

"Where's your weapons pack?" she asked as First Gunner put her up on the table and began to do a medical scan.

He laughed and answered, "There's no way I'm wearing that thing all the time. I don't need to."

Galaxy Convoy looked at Rodimus and accused, "You said you had both Coby and Lori with you. Here's Lori, so where is Coby?"

Rodimus laughed again, "Still don't recognize me, Soushireikan? That's kind of sad seeing as you gave me my Cybertron Emblem." He pointed to the personalized emblem on his chest.

At first, Galaxy Convoy was confused. Then shock spread across his face as he realized what Rodimus Convoy meant. "Coby?"

Rodimus nodded, smiling. Blue light engulfed him for a few second as he shrank. When it faded, Coby was standing in front of them, still wearing his artic clothes. "When Chromia attacked us, I didn't want Lori to get hurt," he explained. "I put myself between them, and was electrocuted for it. My Human body couldn't withstand the energy. I didn't want to die. I didn't want to leave Lori. I needed a form that would allow me to absorb the electricity; a Transformer form. So I became a Terraformer, and chose the name Rodimus Convoy for my Transformer form."

"That makes sense," First Gunner said, finishing his scan. "Well, Lori, you have a light case of hypothermia. I suggest you take it easy for a day or two at your quarters in the Sky Dome until you recover." The medic then turned to Coby, "Your turn."

Coby nodded, and First Gunner picked him up and put him on the examination table. His scan took much longer than Lori's, and First Gunner explained as he scanned, "It appears that becoming a Terraformer has completely healed you. Your Transformer form and your Human form are interconnected though. This means that any damage you receive in either form will transfer to the other. If you get badly hurt in your Transformer form, I advise against switching to Human form before you heal; damage you receive in Transformer form could be fatal in Human form. Your Human form will also change a little over time, but not dramatically; worst case scenario would be that your hair changes color to something like blue or neon, and I doubt that will happen. You're also going to age as fast as a Transformer now. While you probably won't live as long as a Transformer, you'll definitely live close to two thousand Earth years."

"How long does a Transformer live?" Coby asked. First Gunner named a number and Coby whistled, "That long, huh?"

Galaxy Convoy shrugged, "That long, or longer. As the Guardian of Space-Time, Vector Prime will live on forever, even though any incarnation he has is limited. There's also Primus."

"Primus is a god, Galaxy Convoy. He's immortal. I hardly think he counts," Coby said. "But even if I am going to live a long time, so far the only people who know that I'm Rodimus are you two and Lori. I'd like too keep it that way for as long as possible." He turned to look at Lori, and smiled when he saw that she had fallen asleep again. He reached out and brushed her bangs out of her face gently, so as to not wake her up, and said, "For Lori's sake, as well as mine."

"Understood," Galaxy Convoy and First Gunner both said. Coby turned back into Rodimus Convoy and picked up Lori in his hands carefully. Then he left for their quarters (his quarters were next to hers). Galaxy Convoy turned to First Gunner and asked, "Can I trust you to put Rodimus Convoy into the Sky Dome's database as a Secret Strike Agent?"

First Gunner nodded, "I can do that. Separate from Coby Rumble?"

Galaxy Convoy nodded. Secret Strike Agents were like mercenaries. They had membership with the Cybertron Army, but they did special assignments. Coby Rumble was such an agent. Galaxy Convoy didn't think that Rodimus Convoy would be any different.
