I'm finally done for the semester! I finished three years at my college this semester and hopefully I can start nursing classes this fall. This chapter is really short but I just wanted to get this one out. It does have quite a few plot points though.
KHandFF7fanforever: There might be! I love Soundwave too actually! I love the TFPrime Decepticons, well all except Starscream really. He's just too annoying. I've also planned on having a chapter like that! I miss everyone and I know Anna does too. It tore her up to have her family leave like that. That would be adorable. They have a soft spot for Anna now, haha.
Lady Angel Sanada Doji: Because Drift is a very stubborn mech, haha. But he gets better as the show progesses, something I love. I really like him. I also love how he used to be a 'con. I don't know his full backstory but I like him.
Moonlight12396: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Snake Screamer: I'm really glad! I love Bulk. Miko will be estatic but will probably kick his ass first. "The Champ" Isn't for a while but I really liked it when I watched it. I have quite a huge soft spot for Grim.
Gipsy Prime: Thank you! I'm sorry it took so long but hopefully I'll start writing more soon. I'm still trying to relax and get into it again.
Gry20: They did help, thank you! I really liked the Robots Have Nightmares episodes but I feel like it would be bad to pass up Anna having a nightmare as well. We'll see. Your second idea is hilarious. I can see her expression now!
JJ: It's okay, I was too! I understand perfectly. I loved that part, I just had to. Oh Knock Out definteley deserves to be 'knocked out'. I'm planning on having a surprise appearance from our favorite sadistic twin soon! I hate how they split up the twins. I loved Rescue Bots! I stopped watching just because I don't have time but I stopped before he appeared. I think it's a cute idea though.
Anna smiled softly as she felt Bumblebee kiss the side of her helm. "Bee… It's too early."
Bumblebee laughed softly as he began kissing down her helm before kissing her. "Good morning, Darlin'."
Anna kissed him back before laughing softly, "Good morning, Bee." She laid on top of him, placing her helm over his spark chamber, listening to it. Bee decided to spend the night with her at the base to get some privacy and to be able to share a berth for once. Anna was going to spend the day working for Unit E. She also needed to spend time with her other family. She was ready to be there for Bee in case he needed her help though.
Bumblebee vented as he gently rubbed Anna's back, watching her door wings. "I don't want to get up… This is nice."
Anna smiled softly as she gently pressed against his spark with her own. She flooded with how happy she was and how much she loved him. "Me either."
Bumblebee shuddered as he felt all her emotions, pulling her up to kiss her. "Then let's not…" He mumbled as he continued kissing her.
Anna groaned softly as she kissed him back, moving until she was straddling her mate. She gently began rubbing his chassis as he began kissing her neck. She whined softly as he nibbled on the soft metal there, his digits rubbing her hips. "Bee…"
Bee looked up at her, his cooling fans having to kick on high gear, "Hm?"
Anna felt her cooling fans kick on as well, "I love you."
Bee grinned before flipping them over, "I love you too." He gently began kissing down from her shoulder, rubbing the metal as he did.
Anna was biting at her lips as she watched him, getting even more worked up. She then cursed softly in Cybertronian when she heard Miko's music getting close. "Why, Miko?"
Bumblebee laughed as he sat up before whining as Anna punched his shoulder, "Rude."
Anna pouted at him, "You're rude." She got up and opened the door just as Miko knocked. She looked down and tried her best to act normal. "Miko?"
Miko stared up at her and then Bee rubbing his arm. "Well this is awkward. I can come back later?"
Anna felt her helm get extremely hot before glaring as Bee laughed more. "Shut up. Your face is red too!" She shook her helm and marched back to the main room of the base, mumbling about rude people.
Miko chuckled as she walked towards Bee, raising up her hand. "High-five dude."
Bee gently tapped her hand with a digit, grinning down at her. "Thanks, Miko. I'm really happy we're getting closer again."
Miko snickered as she followed the femme, "Not as close as you want, if you know what I mean."
Bee made a snort like noise as he followed the human femme, "Oh my Primus."

Anna smiled as she wrapped her holoform's arms around her brother. "You seem to be fitting right in here."
Raf smiled at his sister's reflection on the computer screen. "I like it here. It's nice to be doing this kind of stuff again."
Anna nodded softly as she placed her chin on Raf's head, watching him work. She was silent for a few minutes, thinking quietly. She looked up when Agent Fowler walked into the room. He nodded at some of the other workers before turning to the siblings. "Hello, Agent Fowler."
Raf nodded as well, smiling softly. "Agent Fowler."
Fowler smiled at the two of them before handing a folder to the younger Esquivel. "Some humans managed to snap some shots of the 'cons Bee's group is tackling. I need you to erase everything they have and make sure nothing is being circulated."
Anna looked down as Raf flipped through the folder. Anna rolled her eyes as she saw a blurry image of Steeljaw. "I hate that 'con."
Raf smirked as he looked up at his sister. "Isn't he the one who was flirting with you?"
Anna frowned down at her brother, "It was so gross." She scoffed before leaving to let Raf do his job. "I'll see you two later!"
"Bye sis."
"See you later, Anna."
Anna walked into the base to see Ratchet coming out from the back. He smiled at her, turning to her vehicle form when she dropped the holoform. "There you are. I was wondering where you ran off to."
Anna stretched out after transforming, walking over to Ratchet. "I went to go see Raf."
Ratchet hummed as he turned to the screen, pulling up his current project. "He seems happy here."
Anna nodded as she looked down at the Autobot symbol on the floor. "Yeah…" She frowned as she felt her spark begin to ache a little. "R-Ratchet?" She stumbled a little, losing her balance.
Ratchet turned to her, noticing how her optics were glowing. She was swaying, stumbling a little which was weird for Cybertronians. Ratchet held her shoulders, stabilizing her. "Anna?"
Anna looked up at her before feeling even more faint, "Woah…" She felt her legs give out, falling before Ratchet caught her. She saw his worried optics before it was all black.
{X}
Anna groaned as she looked up at the light blue sky. Why was she looking up at a sky? She was at the base with Ratchet, wasn't she? She couldn't hear anything though. Anna sat up, rubbing her helm.
"Anna?"
Anna gasped as she saw Optimus staring down at her. A mini-bot was floating in the air beside him in a shade of Energon blue. "Optimus!" Anna scrambled up before hugging him tightly. "Oh my god, Optimus…"
Optimus held her tightly, able to take in what Anna looked like now. "I'm so happy to see you enjoying Primus' gift for you. You look beautiful."
Anna stepped back and smiled up at him, her optics filling up with tears. "Thank you. It's so good to see you again." She looked up at the mini-bot, tilting her helm. She could feel the familiar aura around him. "A Prime?"
The mech nodded his helm, "I am Micronus Prime, one of the Primes helping Optimus prepare for his mission."
Optimus looked between them, frowning softly. "Why did you bring Anna here?"
Micronus floated closer to them, looking down at Anna. "Because both of you will be facing this together. Anna is finally stepping up to her Prime status. So, Anara Prime, I will be helping you prepare as well."
Anna tilted her head, thinking about the way the title rolled off her glossa. "Anara... Hmm..." She smiled softly before bowing her head to Micronus, "Thank you very much..."
Optimus frowned at Micronus, "Anna is young still, Micronus. She's not ready for this."
Anna shook her head, "Optimus, I've been in war since I met Bumblebee. I graduated basic training, went overseas and have been fighting with Bee against these new 'cons. I'm not a rookie."
Micronus nodded, "Exactly." He waved his servo, making two swords appear in their servos. "For now, you must fight each other."
Anna looked up at Optimus, feeling her spark thrum dangerously fast in her chassis. "Fight him?"
Optimus looked at Micronus, unsure about this. "How will this help?"
Micronus frowned at them, "You need to learn how the other fights to learn how to fight together. You will be the key components in the near future. You must work smoothly together."
Anna looked down at the sword, turning it over in her servos. She saw how Optimus already seemed familiar with his own sword. Optimus was two pronged at the end but hers was one full blade. Her handle was very intricate with golden bands of metal flaring out. There was a sphere in the middle that had the Prime symbol embedded. The blade was wider at the base, thinning out towards the tip. The blade was also serrated on one edge. The metal had a glue blow to it that mixed with the golden tones of the sword. It was very different from Optimus'. His was silver and blue, looking just as majestic as he was. Anna's sword looked a bit deadlier, more decorative as well.
Anna looked up at Micronus, "What are these swords?"
Micronus moved closer to her, "Prime Decepticon Hunters, which you will both need for your mission. You will need to figure out how to use it as Optimus is."
Anna tested the weight as she moved it around, looking up at Optimus. "Well…" She took a step forward, swinging her sword at his shoulder. She was surprised at how smoothly she could wield it, expecting it to be hard to handle at first.
Optimus stepped back, bring up his own sword to block hers. There was a loud clang of metal that echoed in the realm of the Primes. "Don't hold back just because it's me, Anna."
Anna smirked as she ran for Optimus, swinging her sword at his legs. "I promise I won't."
Micronus smirked as he watched the two Primes fighting each other. Their lessons were going to be very entertaining.

Bumblebee frowned as he paced in front of the Alchemor's control center, trying again to contact his mate. "Come on, Anna… Answer me." He cursed in Cybertronian as she didn't answer again. He vented as he turned to Sideswipe, "I'm going to the Unit E base to ask about Anna. Don't get into trouble while I'm gone, please?"
Sideswipe smirked at him, "Who? Me? Please."
Bumblebee smirked softly, shaking his helm fondly. "I'll let you know what I find out." He opened a ground bridge to the Unit E base. He walked through to see no one was there. He frowned softly, at least expecting Fowler or Ratchet to be there. "Hello?"
Silence.
"Hello?" He tried again but a bit louder. He was about to activate his holoform to investigate the base more when he heard someone.
"In the back!"
Bumblebee went to the back, following where he heard the voice. He walked into the infirmary Ratchet set up, seeing Anna on a berth. She was strapped down, lots of wires on her helm. Fowler was on a ledge beside Miko and Raf, watching Ratchet. Ratchet was looking up at a screen, frowning softly at the readings. Bumblebee jogged over to his mate's side, gently brushing his digits against her facial plating. "What happened?"
Ratchet looked over at him and then back at his screen, venting. "She suddenly got very dizzy and clumsy before fainting in my arms. Right before that I could see that her optics were glowing again. Her spark and processor have been under stress since then. Something is happening in her mind but I don't know what. I suspect something to do with Primus."
Raf sighed as he leaned against the railing, watching Anna's helm turn from side to side. "It's kind of like she's fighting someone."
Bumblebee sat on the berth, gently holding one of her servos. He kissed the back of it, hoping to calm her a little with his presence. "I hope she's winning…" He said trying to lighten the mood.
Miko smirked softly, "This IS Anna we're talking about."
Ratchet chuckled slightly before straightening up again. "She's been out for hours. I hope she wakes up soon."
{X}
Anna vented roughly as she sat up from Optimus knocking her down. "I forgot how amazing of a fighter you are." She felt sore all over and exhausted but she couldn't figure out how this realm worked. Her physical body wasn't there but she felt everything here. She could feel when Optimus hit her sides with the sword, when he tossed her across the ground, when he knocked her down. If she was human still she would be covered in bruises soon.
Optimus smiled softly at her, "You are a great warrior as well, Anna. Bumblebee must be very proud."
Anna stood up, stumbling a little. "Thank you, it means a lot." She then raised her sword up, getting into stance again. She wasn't going to quit until she knocked Optimus down. She paused when she felt a little tug from her sword. She glanced down, seeing the faint glowing symbols on the blade. She looked up at Optimus and smirked, thinking of what to do. She swung her sword down at the ground, a rush of energy reaching out towards Optimus. Optimus barely dodged in time, a large crack in the ground forming. Anna was already waiting for him, kicking his legs out from behind him. When he was down she placed the tip of her sword against his back, over his spark chamber. "Got you."
Optimus stood up and smiled brightly at the femme. "You did."
Anna grinned at him before she whistled as she held up her sword, looking it over. "So, you do hold secrets. Such a Prime thing to do."
Micronus raised an eye ridge at the femme before smirking a little. She was still sassy, something he liked about the femme. "Next time you'll have to figure out more of our secrets."
Anna smiled tiredly at Optimus, gently hugging him. "I'll see you soon, Optimus."
Optimus gently rubbed her back, smiling as well. "I will see you soon, Anara Prime."
{X}
Anna's vision slowly got dark before she re-awoke in her body again. She could hear the others talking around her. She could hear Bee, Ratchet, Raf and Fowler.
Fowler: "Why isn't she waking up yet?"
Ratchet: "I can't control that! It's up to her."
Miko: "Well can't you just shock her awake?"
Bee: "No! That could injure her or mess something up with Primus. It doesn't seem like she's in any danger, at least."
Anna looked down to see Bee sitting beside her, rubbing her servo. She smiled and gently squeezed his hand, "No need for shocks, I'm awake."
Bumblebee leaned forward, rubbing her facial plating looking very worried but happy. "Anna! You're awake! What happened? Are you alright?"
Ratchet pushed him back, huffing. "Calm down, Bee. Give her some room to breathe."
Miko laughed softly, leaning against Raf. "He's acting like this isn't a normal thing now."
Fowler shook his head, walking back towards his office. "Some warning would be nice next time so I don't have another heart attack!"
Anna laughed softly, "Sorry, guys."
Bee pouted at Ratchet before dodging a wrench that was thrown at him, "Okay, okay!"
Anna looked at all of them before venting softly, "I've been roped into training session with a Prime, Micronus Prime. He also…" She glanced down at herself, frowning. "He fully stated me as a Prime."
Ratchet dropped the pad he was holding from shock, whispering to himself, "I needed that."
Miko looked at Raf in shock, her mouth hanging wide open. Raf was the same way, feeling a little faint. "Dude." "Sis…"
Bumblebee's optics were huge and he was gaping at her. "No way."
Anna shrugged, feeling unsure. "Yeah… I'm Anara Prime now."
Bumblebee pulled her into a tight hug, grinning brightly. "That's amazing."
Anna hugged him back, staring at the wall across from them. "I don't think I'm ready to be a Prime, though…" She pulled back to look into her mate's optics, "If I'm being pulled into training sessions with the Primes, that means something bad is going to happen."
Bumblebee gently held both of her servos, squeezing them. He was nervous about it as well but he was confident they could handle it. "That may be true but we have each other, we have our teammates, our friends, our family. We can handle it together."
Anna smiled softly, turning to look back at the others in the room. "Yeah…"
{X}
Anna slowly tried to sneak past the team at the scrapyard, not wanting to get their attention. That didn't work as Grimlock spotted her. In a few seconds, she was picked up and squeezed to death in a hug. "Anna! You're a Prime now!? That's so cool!"
Anna groaned softly from the pressure and being spotted. "Thanks, Grim."
Strongarm gaped up at her, "I'm on the same team as Lieutenant Bumblebee and a Prime, holy Primus. You have to teach me everything you know! What was it like to fight Optimus Prime? Did you win? I bet you did, you're so amazing!"
Sideswipe was laughing at how starstruck Strongarm was acting, shaking his head. He did think it was amazing but he could tell how uncomfortable Anna seemed.
Bumblebee gently patted Grim, "Can you set my mate down, please?" He then wrapped her in a hug, smiling at his team. "You're smothering her a bit, guys. She needs time to adjust."
Anna smiled sheepishly at them all, "I'm still trying to process it all but thank you…" She then kissed her mate on the helm before walking quickly away from them all. She groaned as Strongarm began walking after her, talking about how cool it would be for Anna to train her. "Oh my lord. Why me?"
Bumblebee and Sideswipe just looked at each other before venting, shaking their helms.
