Lifelines

Parking into the lot of K.O. Burger, Jack stepped out of Christine with a bored expression, despite what many would think, Jack had taken this job as a way to pass the time, it didn't help that the girls part of the bully squad Sierra and her friend usually came to mock him.

Until a certain newly made Cybertronian made a line not to cross.

Watching as Jack left to the burger place, Christine was left to her own devices… which left her sitting in the lot. With nothing to do.

Mentally perking up at her Radio picking up Cliffjumpers voice. Huh?

Tuning the radio, Christine spoke.

"Cliff, been what, six months, what's up?" sitting in wait for a response, Cliffjumper spoke.

"Hey, Christine, I may need help, can you pin point my coordinates?" focusing her CPU as it pinged in her mind, she spoke.

"I have you, why are you at an abandoned mine?" the only answer she got was a grunt with Blaster fire.

"I found Energon but I got way over my Helm right now" starting her own engine as she drove out the lot, she sent a quick text to jack's phone as she made a digital driver, and to Jack he couldn't complain as it looked like Scarlett Johanson if she were a country girl with natural red hair.

Speeding off towards Cliff's signal, Christine left many in the dust.

Managing to get about a mile away form Cliff's location, Christine gave a gasp at the large ship above, slowing down and hiding under trees, Christine went to call Cliff if not for a large explosion to go off below.

"CLIFF!" speeding forward with urgency now, one of her new friends was in danger, and like hell she'll lose one.

Driving off a ramp over looking the crater, the sight of two vehicons dragging Cliff away was the only warning she got as her body shifted, sending a right hook into ones face that shattered its head, her free hand held a Cybertronian version of a magnum under the others chin, forcing it to stare at her in alarm as it's processors rebooted from the surprise attack.

"Bang" grinning eerily at the Vehicon, it's head exploded.

Turning to Cliff Jumper as he gave a weak smile at her, Christine lifted him onto her shoulders before fireman carrying him away to the tree line.

"They got cannons!" rolling her optics at his weak warning, Christine spun and fired, somehow firing a round that ricocheted off of the first turret and into the others, disabling the cannons.

Leaving whoever was piloting the ship stunned at the skills presented, a certain flyer on board glared angrily.

staring down at the monitor with a glare, Star Scream spoke with venom in his voice as he stalked off.

"Hold the ship in place, I'll deal with this Neutral myself"

Setting Cliff Jumper against a boulder for cover, Christine looked for any others before turning to Cliff.

"Is this those Decepticons you've told Jack and I about?" getting a nod from Cliff as he coughed up dull Energon, he went to speak if not for a jet engine to be heard.

"Star Scream, you gotta get out of here, he's pissed off most likely" looking up to the sky with her optics narrowing as she scanned the jet form, Christine fixed her "Cowgirl" hat as she stood up fully.

"Let me handle this, little bastard wants to fly, he can find another place" stepping out onto a clearing, easily in sight of the Jet, Christine closed her eyes as her mind focused.

Listening to the Jet turning towards her as a ground bridge opened up on the other side of the crater, her eyes snapped open as she aimed at Star Scream with both magnums.

*BANG BANG*

Nailing the two exhaust ports in Star Screams jetform, he gave a yell of agony as he was forced to divert from his target, Christine kept her magnums trained on Scream as he returned to the ship, she grinned as her eyes glowed purple at the sight before they faded into a calming blue.

Holstering her weapons to help Cliff, she spotted the Autobots approaching with Arcee sporting a worried look.

"Cliff!" stepping aside for Arcee, Ratchet moved to look him over as Optimus watched the ship flee.

Turning to Christine as she kept an optic to the sky, she turned to him and nodded, getting a thankful nod in return as Cliff chuckled as he was helped to his pedes.

"Hey docbot, I may need a patch up" getting a grumble from the medic, a ground bridge opened up for them to return to the base with Christine approaching Optimus.

"Any idea where they'd hiding?" watching the Prime turn to her, he spoke with a shake of his helm.

"No, but I believe they are awaiting the return of they're master"

"Megahead?" getting an not so amused look from the Prime, he spoke.

"Megatron is not to be trifled with, you may be an earthborn Cybertronian, that will not get you leniency from him, if you ever encounter him, attempt to escape at all costs, he will not grant mercy to those who defy him" getting a nod from Christine, she shifted back into her car mode.

"Keep me updated on Cliff's recovery, see ya Optimus"

"Be safe Christine" watching her drive off in a rush, Optimus spoke to himself.

"For I fear darkness is on the horizon" turning to the ground bridge as the others waited for him, Arcee helped Cliff limp forward.

Stopping to stare as Christine left, Arcee looked to CliffJumper as he stepped through the Bridge.

Looking to Optimus as he turned to follow, she spoke.

"Permission to pursue Christine, sir. I want to ask Christine something" getting a look from Optimus, he nodded.

"Permission granted" getting a nod from Arcee, the femme transformed and gave chase.

Parking in the lot after returning in time for Jack's shift to end, Christine sat in wait as the day continued, Christine had a visual double take as Arcee rolled up in the spot beside her, a female figure on her back with a helmet.

"Arcee, what are you doing here?" getting silence for a full moment, Arcee spoke gently.

"I wanted to thank you, for saving Cliff" getting a mental smile from the earth born cyberronian, Christine spoke.

"No need to thank me, Cliff was the first none human friend I made since waking up, so we're even" getting a small chuckle from the Femme, she spoke.

"Still though, I feel like I owe you more than anything, Cliff… he's my only friend left since Cybertron fell, I had a partner on Cybertron named Tailgate, still to this day his death haunts me… I would have lost Cliff if it weren't fo-" noticing movement in her rearview mirror, Christine took notice as well of a Purple sports car driving by.

Narrowing her sight on a decepticon symbol on the hood, Jack approached the driver door to get in, sighing a she rubbed his face, he spoke.

"Hey Christine… oh, hey Arcee" noticing the blue femme, the two spoke quietly.

"Quiet" looking around in confusion, Jack noticed two similar cars drive by.

The cars from the racetrack.

Starting the engine of Christine, she gave a slight moan at the sensation, getting an aura of embarrassed confusion from Arcee, Jack looked to the hologram.

"We'll lead them somewhere secluded, up for a divide and conquer?" getting an aura of surprised contempt, Arcee spoke as her engine roared to life.

"Like you need to ask?" grinning as he shifted gears, Jack sped off with Arcee leaving a burn out before speeding forward, ramping onto the roads from an old bench, she sped to Christine's side as the two Vehicons gave chase.

Korn- Coming Undone

Shifting gear again to speed up, Christine grinned mentally as the trio led the two vehicons on a chase, drifting around a corner with Arcee sliding behind her, the populace stared in confusion before the two decepticons followed.

Turning down an alleyway, Arcee kept going forward, and seeing one vehicon turn to follow Christine, the other sped after Arcee.

Looking through the rearview mirror, Jack smirked.

"We got him behind us Christine" getting a giggle of glee from the car, Christine's voice spoke with a husky tone.

"Let's give him a RIDE, JACK!" speeding across a road, a car hit the brakes in alarm, pausing at seeing the Lamborghini like vehicle chasing the Plymouth.

Christine sped up suddenly while turning onto the highway, Jack looked back to see the vehicon sprout out laser guns.

"Uh, Christine!" looking back herself, Christine dodged to the right to avoid the barrage of plasma fire, she spun into a reverse, aiming her own guns, she fired twice with one bullet each nailing the vehicons wheels.

Forcing it to swerve into the guard rails, Christine spun around to speed up, dodging traffic while turning down a part leading to a construction site, Christine swerved at feeling her back bumper get hit, her eyes blazed as the metal repaired itself as she growled.

Ramping off to the right to drive down the dirt, she transformed into a slide while holding Jack protectively.

Flipping onto her feet at hitting the concrete, Christine set Jack down as he moved for cover.

Stopping at seeing a… kid… oh scrap.

"Oh crap" looking up at hearing the vehicon approaching, jack rushed to the kid to keep him out of sight while Christine stood in wait, Christine looked up in time to back flip away from an attack from above, nailing a kick into the vehicon's chin, the cybertronian landed on his pedes before rushing at her.

"Come on big boy, I'm waiting for a fight!" rushing forward with a large grin, the eery bloodlust in her eyes made the decepticon flinch before getting a right hook combo, stunning the con as it shook it's Helm, it looked up to see two hand-cannons aimed.

A grinning Christine behind the barrels.

"Scrap" was all the Decepticon could say before his head was blown off with excessive firepower.

Falling down in a witching heap, Christine stood over the downed enemy before firing two more into it's spark chamber, ending it for good before another vehicle was heard, looking up the sight of Arcee shifting forms to land beside her made Christine smirk before noticing he other pursuer, along with Bumblebee sliding to their side.

Watching the Vehicon transform for a fight, the three shared a look before Christine grinned, her weapons aimed and ready.

Bumblebee cracked his servos smugly, while Arcee rolled her servos.

Seeing the odds stacked against him, the horn of a truck echoing made the four turn to see Bulkhead himself transform, crushing a Bike in his hands with a grin, the Vehicon stood frozen for a moment before transforming and speeding off.

Leaving the four watching before Christine and Arcee burst into laughter, Bee… beeping with a shake of his head, Bulk gave a chuckle as Jack approached with the kid.

"Uh guys… we may have a problem" pointing down to the spectacled kid, Bee spoke with his servo's slouched.

"Language!" turning to the kid as he pointed to Bumble Bee, Christine snorted.

looking to Arcee as she laughed, the Human and Cybertronian made eye contact with Arcee winking at him.

HEY, people of the internet and fanfiction, forgot to mention this in the previous chapter so i'll do it now

if you are having a hard time wondering what Christine's Cybertronain form looks like, i based it off of Mesa Prime from Warframe, just replace the face with Scarlett Johanson's face, also, to the review of AzrelRazgriz i had a different idea but you're one sounds far more better than my one so I'll try and implement it, anyway, see ya and feel free to leave a review.
