Thrice perhaps?
Drift got infront of the car that the girl was driving and slowed down, the teen responded by slowing down as well. He began to go backwards and the other car followed suit.
It might not be the girl who's cybertronian, but the car. Drift thought. "Drift to base, the car may be the suspect."
"Base to Drift, I'm cross scanning and there appears to be three energy signatures."
The girl and the car are two... who's the third? Drift asked himself.
The girls' car veered off the road and into trees. The samurai cybertronian followed the other car to a clearing far away from the road. The car transformed into a robot that quickly adopted a defensive stance infront of the human. The girl and something to the robot and it ran away thru the trees, Drift was about to go after the bot, but the girl stopped him by expertly throwing a pair of shurikens into his shoulders.
"I'm sorry, but I promised them that I wouldn't allow you to take them." She said, raising another pair of blades.
Drift didn't want to hurt the female teen, especially since it reminded him of the femme of the hologram, but it was clear that she wouldn't budge from helping the other cybertronian and would keep attacking him until he killed her.
Drift snapped a tree and threw it at her, the girl dodging it easily.
...
"I've seen my five-year-old sister throw better than that!" Soya insulted the robot.
She was purposely getting on the cybertronians' nerves because she'd decided a few days after meeting her two robots that they were just like humans and since then she had stopped struggling with interacting with them.
Soya ran between the robot's legs and threw her weapons in the cracks of the back leg joints. The robot gave a slight cry of pain, Soya felt bad but rethought her feelings when he dashed in the direction that her cybertronian went in.
"Oh no you don't." She gritted her teeth and ran forward but the 'bot had two minicon of his own that deployed to distract her.
"We do not wish to hurt you, however if you insist attacking our master, you leave us no choice." The one that was black and had red highlights.
"My best friends are getting hurt by your master right now possibly, and all you're going to do is get in the way?! Screw this!" Soya ran faster after the big robot than what was humanely possible, the two other minicons trailing behind her.
She easily caught up to the huge bot and threw a shuriken into his leg joint, effectively disabling that leg and making him crash to the ground.
"I said, I will not allow you to hurt my friends!"
She swung a shuriken at the cybertronian's face, but it was deflected by an enormous blade. Soya hadn't payed much attention to it, but now she could see that the cybertronian-sized katana was going to be a problem, so she changed tactics. Throwing another pair of shurikens into his uncrippled leg, Soya dashed into the woods, searching for her robotic friends. She found them after some time and they all hid in a cave.
With any luck, the robot will need help and will call off this assault. Soya thought.
...
"Drift to base, the car is indeed a cybertronian, whether it is an ally or an enemy has yet to be determined."
Just then, Jetstorm and Jetfire came running into the area, their weapons at the ready.
"I believe I instructed you two to engage in battle with the human girl." Drift said.
"Our most humble apologies, master, but she ignored us and ran faster that what was possible for a human, she was almost a blurr."
"Hm, another factor to add to this puzzle." Drift raised his arms to indicate that his pupils were disengaged, the two minicons quickly complied.
"Drift to scrapyard, I need assistance, just one or two bots will do."
They're not off to a great start, but hey, they'll be fiiiiine with what I have planned for them.
