While on our walk, I had noticed that Bee had been quiet. I don't like when anyone is quiet around me. Makes me feel a bit nervous.

I stopped and asked him what was wrong. "What makes you think something is wrong?"

"Your silence speaks very loudly, love. Now, what's wrong? If you apologize for being stupid, I will smack you with a wrench. Ratchet isn't the only one."

"But I am sorry for what I did. I should have tried harder to get you back here."

"Its like you said. If you had, Optimus would have stopped you. If my brother hadn't decided to resign, none of this would have happened."

"I won't argue with you on that."

"Strongarm said everyone on your team would have followed me if I had stayed team leader. Do you think they would have?"

"Yeah, I do. I'm glad to have my team back, though."

"I am too. I know you're going to hate this, but I gotta get to Griffin Rock. Wanna spend my next few months with my brother and his team."

"Call before you recharge each night? I love your sexy voice."

Before I said anything, I was getting buzzed. "Yes Fixit."

"Your twin is calling here. He's asking for your appearance in Griffin Rock."

"He couldn't call me and ask me himself?"

"I guess not."

"Tell him I'll be there soon."

"Will do, Lieutenant."

"Stop calling me that! Bee is your Lieutenant, not me."

"Sorry."

"Its all good. Thank you, Fixit." Then I ended the call. Before anything else was said, I called Sunny.

"Hey Sunny, you real busy?"

"Not really. You ok?"

"I need to talk to you privately when Bee and I get back." Then I sighed.

"That didn't sound good. Everything ok with you 2?"

"I will talk to you when we get back from our walk."

"Ok Blue." Then I ended that call.

"What was that about, Blue?"

"You'll have to ask Sunny after I head to Griffin Rock. Let's head back."

Bee put his hand on my shoulder. "Please trust me, ok."

"I'll always trust you. Its one of the traits that I love about you, Blue. Just promise me you won't get seriously hurt while on vacay."

"I can try, but I can't promise. You know what kind of rescues they do. Some are very dangerous."

"That's true. Don't come back with a missing limb, then."

"Deal. Don't go getting blown up by Steeljaw and his reject Decepticons."

"I'll do my best." I noticed we were on top of the command center. Of course, I backflipped off of it and landed on my feet. Bee tried it and landed a few feet further back. I turned around and smiled.

"Show-off." He smiled back. "Says the show-off."

"Touché."

"You go talk to Sunstreaker. I'll go see if Strongarm wants some help with her academy stuff."

"You know she will." Bee nodded and walked off. I went looking for Sunny.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

As I was looking for Sunny, Drift stopped me. "Everything ok, Drift?"

"My minicons would like to come with you. They asked my permission. I told them they must ask you."

I looked at Jetstorm and Slipstream. "You 2 wanna come with me? Why?"

They looked at Drift, who nodded at them. They looked back at me.

"We want to learn everything from you while you are on vacation."

"I'm not sure that's a good idea, Jet. I'm going to learn how to be a good leader not to have fun."

"We understand that."

"I don't think you do. Heatwave and his team do dangerous rescues. I don't think you're equipped to handle what they do."

"Please give us a chance." I sighed. I looked at Drift.

"It would not hurt for them to learn from your brother, Bluesteel. They can get into areas we cannot."

"You have a point, Drift. Its up to Heatwave, too. Let me call him and find out. Wouldn't want to bring anyone else and scare their Human partners."

"That is understandable. Make your call."

"I also have to go find Sunstreaker."

"He is with his brother."

"Thank you, Drift. I will let you know if my brother is ok with the minicons coming with me."

Drift nodded and proceeded to put his minicons through training.

I called Sunny to see where he is. "I'm over by the fridges, 2 isles over."

"Stay there. I need to talk to you."

"My dumbass brother is with me. Can he be involved in the talk too?"

"He's the reason why I need to talk to you."

"We'll be here." Then I ended the call.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I walked over to the vintage fridges and found the twins. "Hey guys. You might wanna watch the swearing, Sunny. Denny might not like it and I definitely know Bee won't like it either."

"My bad. Sorry. You're right. Bumblebee wouldn't like it. So, what's up?"

"Bee is going to ask you this. All I want you to do is make sure Sides stays out of trouble and not to provoke Strongarm. He does that a lot."

"I've heard about that. I also know he makes fun of the minicons, too." We both looked at Sides when Sunny mentioned the minicons.

"What!? I can't help but make fun of their shortness."

"That's why they don't like you most of the time, Sides. I'm so glad Sunny is here to keep your aft out of trouble with Bee and Drift."

"Drift can be scary."

"That's the idea, stupid." Then I looked to Sunny. "Please promise me you will keep him away from Drift and Strongarm unless partnered with either of them."

"I will try my best, Blue."

I hugged Sunny then called Fixit. "Yes, Blue. What can I do for you?"

"I need a ground bridge opened. Gotta head to Griffin Rock."

"I'll have it ready by the time you're here."

"Thanks, Fixit." Then I ended the call.

I headed for the command center to take the ground bridge to Griffin Rock. I noticed that Bee and Strongarm were there. No clue if they were waiting for me or not.

"Hey." I walked up to them. They turned my way. I didn't like the look on Bee's face. Not at all.

"I don't wanna hear it. I'm off to Griffin Rock. Which reminds me. I need to call my brother."

I ran through the different frequencies and found him. "Hey bro. Do you mind if I bring a couple of minicons with me?"

"Bumblebee hasn't told you yet?" Fixit had shut down the ground bridge while I was talking with my brother.

"Told me what?"

"You're vacay has to wait, sis. They need your help. You can come tomorrow and yeah, the minicons can come with you."

"Awesome! Jetstorm and Slipstream will be happy to hear that. I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Don't go getting hurt."

"Same to you, as well, sis." Then I ended the call. I sighed. Bee didn't like that. He walked up to me. "I know you were looking forward to helping your brother and his team. I'm sorry, Blue."

"Its all good, Bee. You owe me later tonight."

"I know. Fixit got a lock on a Decepticon."

"Where and who?"

Sunny and Sides had walked up and heard the tail end of the conversation. "Decepticons? Is he sure?"

"Yeah, why?"

"There are other Autobots that are on their way to meet up with me."

Sides looked at his brother. "You don't plan to stay, bro?"

"My plan was to check on you and then meet up with the rest of the team I was suppose to meet up with."

Sides didn't like that. He walked away. He felt like a burden to his own twin brother.

~Don't do that, Sides. You're not a burden.~

~I feel like one, especially to you.~

~You have any idea how long I've been looking for you, Sides? I've missed you so much.~

~I've missed you too, but…~

~Just don't, ok. Do you want me to stay?~

~Yeah, I do. I don't wanna lose you again. You know I don't do alone well.~

~But you weren't alone. You had Bee and his team.~

~But I didn't have you. My family.~

Sunny flooded the bond with love. Sides felt better knowing that his brother is staying.

Bee noticed Sunny was smiling. He looked up and saw Bee smiling. "Your brother?"

"Yeah. He was worried I was going to leave again."

"So, you're staying?"

"Yeah. I can't leave my brother again."

"Good. Somoene has to keep the punk in line."

Bee looked at Strongarm. "Sideswipe means well, Strongarm. He acts that way cause he was coping with not having his twin brother here 'til recently."

"That's no excuse for disregarding regulations, sir."

I looked at Strongarm. "Put a sock in it, cadet."

"A sock?"

"Oh cadet. You have a lot to learn about Earth culture. Socks are what Humans wear on their feet." I shook my head back and forth.

"Go easy on her, Blue. She hasn't been here as long as you and I have."

"So true, but just wish she would stay off Sides' back."

"She will. I'll make sure of it."

"Lieutenant, there's now 5 Decepticon signatures."

"Where Fixit?"

"Crown City. They're all over the city."

I growled low in my throat. Bee looked at me. "You know who it is, don't you?"

"Unfortunately, I do. I came across them when I was overseas. The Stunticons, led by Motormaster. He's as bad as it comes."

"I vaguely remember him. Megatron called for them when it got real bad."

"Yep. Not even Optimus and Magnus could take him down together."

"Is there anyone who can?"

"You're looking at her."

"No way. I'm not letting you take him on by yourself. Your brother would kill me."

"And Blades would kill me if he found out that his best friend was killed."

"Point made. Just be careful."

"Always. Now let's go kick some Decepticon skidplate."

"You sound like Ironhide, Blue."

"He's my good friend, Sunny."

"He's also one of the Autobots on the way, too."

"Awesome! Can't wait to see that old timer."

Right before Bee had Fixit open a ground bridge, my comm. went off. "Old timer? Really, Blue?"

"Hide? Where are you?"

"In Crown City mixing it up with the Stunticons."

"We're on the way then." Then I ended the call.

"Fixit, set the ground bridge for Ironhide's coordinates."

"Where is he?"

"Crown City. He's currently tussling with the Stunticons. He could use our help."

"Then let's go. Autobots, let's rev up and roll out."

~Time to go, bro.~

~On my way.~
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Crown City. Right in the smack of downtown. Ironhide wasn't kidding when he said he was mixing it up with the Stunticons. All 5 of them. Glad we had shown up when we did. Motormaster saw me and ran right for me. He knew what I could do.

Wildbreak, Dragstrip and Heatseeker went after the others. Slashmark went on to do what he was told to do by Motormaster.

"Now where do you think you're going, Slashmark? No one said you could leave."

"Sorry, Autobot, but I have things to do. I don't have time to play."

"Just do as you're told, Slashmark. I will deal with this Autobot." I turned towards Motormaster.

"Are you sure about that, Motormouth? The last time you and I tussled, I put you in stasis for a month. You wanna go for a lifetime? Then bring it."

He got pissed at me for calling him Motormouth. I went into my fighting stance and waited for him to come at me. I used his own strength against him like Drift taught me. I used everything and then some against Motormaster. I put him in stasis again, but this time I cuffed him. I radioed Bee and told him I was going after Slashmark.

"No. I can't let you go alone. Take the twins with you."

I sighed. "Fine. Motormaster is cuffed and in stasis. He's not going anywhere."

"Good work. The twins are on their way."

"Good. I hope they can catch up."

Bee growled. He was not happy with me. "I told you not to go alone."

"You deal with the remaining Stunticons. Let Sunny, Sides and I deal with Slashmark."

"We are going to talk about this when we get back to base." I ended the call before he could chew me out more.

I had been right behind Slashmark while talking with Bee. The twins had caught up with me and shot out his tires. He skidded all over the road 'til I transformed and jumped. I came down with my fist right through his hood. I yanked out a good amount of his engine.

The twins transformed and saw what I had done. They looked at each other then at me. "Bee isn't going to be happy when he sees what you did, Blue."

I looked at them, then with both hands, tore the Stunticon in half. Sides radioed Bee.

"Did you catch up with Blue?"

"Yeah, we did. But I think she's going to need the stasis pod, though."

"Why would you say that, Sideswipe?"

"Cause she tore the Decepticon in half."

"She what!? I'll be right there. Don't let her leave."

Sides ended the call and told Sunny not to let her leave. Sunny looked at his brother. "Do I look like I want my paint scratched?"

"Bee wasn't happy, bro. He wants us to make sure she doesn't leave."

"If my paint gets scratched real bad, you're buffing it out."

"Deal." Then they walked up to Bluesteel. "Hey, you ok, Blue?"

They were very careful not to get too close in case Blue decided to do the same thing to them she did to Slashmark. They didn't like the look in my optics. They knew that look. Its not the first time she's had that look in her optics.

Bee arrived not long after. He couldn't believe what he saw. He looked towards the twins and Blue. He didn't like what was going on. He walked up to us. Sunny stopped Bee from getting closer.

"Don't. She will tear you apart. We've seen this look on her before."

"What do I do? I can't have her at the scrapyard if she's like this. She's a liability."

"Let us deal with her. We know how to handle her."

Sides walked up to me and stood just out of arms reach. "Blue? You ok?"

I snapped out of it. I looked around in total confusion. "What…what happened?"

"You don't remember tearing that Decepticon in half?" I looked down at the Decepticon at my feet. I started to step back from the split Decepticon. Bee walked up to me cautiously.

"Blue?" I looked at Bee. He saw the fear in my optics. "Its ok. I'll get you back to the scrapyard and have Ratchet run a scan over you. I won't leave your side." Then he called Fixit for a ground bridge.

"Sideswipe, Sunstreaker. Get back to the fight and help the others. I'll help Blue." They nodded and transformed. Bee helped me back to the scrapyard.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The scrapyard. We had just walked back through. Bee ended up carrying me through. I felt so ashamed.

"What happened to her?"

"I'm hoping you can tell me, Ratchet. She has some kind of split personality or something. She tore a Decepticon in half but doesn't remember doing it."

"Bring her over here and sit her down. I'll run a scan on her." Ratchet noticed that Bee was worried.

"Please sit down, Bumblebee. That's very distracting."

"I'm sorry, Ratchet. She means a lot to me."

"I know she does. I'll do what I can for her." Bee sat down next to Blue and took her hand in his. He lightly squeezed it. I looked at it then at him. I had a confused look on my face. "Ratchet, I don't think she knows who I am."

Ratchet had ran a scan over me during that time. He had Fixit pull it up on the terminal. Both Ratchet and Fixit didn't like what they saw. They looked at each other then at Blue.

"Can you give me a hand, Fixit?"

"I can try, but I'm not a medic."

"I know, but since Raf isn't here, I need help."

"Understood." Then Fixit looked at Bee. "Lieutenant, you need to see this."

"What is it, Fixit?" Bee stood up and took his hand from mine and walked over to the command center.

"What…what am I looking at?"

"Her memory has been wiped."

"But…how? Sideswipe told me she tore Slashmark in half. That's not someone who has their mind completely wiped."

"It probably happened after she killed him."

"It would explain why she looked at me with fear in her optics. Sunstreaker said they've seen her previous look once before."

"What kind of look exactly?"

"You would have to ask them. All I saw was a blank look. Like she didn't know any of us. Is it possible that the matrix could be doing this to her?"

"I don't think so. It didn't do anything like this to Optimus when he was given the matrix."

"Then what's happening to her, Ratchet?"

"I can't answer that, Bumblebee."

While everyone was talking, I stood up, transformed and took off. I needed to figure out where I was and who I was.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Griffin Rock. Heatwave didn't like what he was feeling in the bond. A lot of confusion flooding the bond. Chase noticed that something was bothering Heatwave. He walked up to him.

"Is everything ok, Heatwave?"

"No. I'm getting confusion from Blue's side of the bond. I can't reach her through it, either."

"She didn't block you out?"

"I don't think she knows how now."

"I am confused now. Please explain."

"I'm not sure how, Chase. I need to get back to the Scrapyard and talk with Bumblebee. You're in command until I can find out what is going on." Then he turned to Boulder. "Set the ground bridge for Bumblebee's base at the scrapyard, Boulder. My sister is in distress."

"Right away, Heatwave." Then he activated the ground bridge. Heatwave walked through it and into the scrapyard on the other side. The ground bridge portal closed and Bee turned towards it.

"Heatwave? What are you doing here?"

"My sister is in distress. Where is she?"

"She took off. Fixit has been trying to pinpoint where she is, but no such luck."

Ratchet walked up to Heatwave. "I know you're worried about her, Heatwave. We will find her."

"Not without me, you won't. She's my twin. I maybe the only who can find her."

"If she even knows who you are. She didn't even recognize me."

Heatwave tried calling his twin through the comms. He knew she probably won't answer, but it might ping on her location.

"Got a fix on her location, Lieutenant. She's just going over the bridge into Crown City. I think she's trying to find a way out."

"Heatwave, you're going to need something faster than what you have now to catch up with her."

"Is there something I can scan then?"

"Follow me." Heatwave followed Bee to the pile of cars in a different section of the scrapyard. They walked through so Heatwave could find something that would blend in with all the other cars here.

Heatwave found a 1963 Corvette Stingray in cherry red. "This is perfect. And its red."

"You don't wanna go with a different color for a change?"

"Nope." Then he scanned the vehicle. He loved how it felt. He revved the engine. "Kade would love this."

"Don't get use to it. You'll have to scan another firetruck when you get back."

"If I go back, you mean."

"You can't leave Chase in command of your team, Heatwave. They need you."

"I know they do, but my sister comes first."

"Understandable. Just be careful going after her. She may take off."

"I'll do what I can to bring her back. I'm glad Sunstreaker taught me to use a firearm."

"Promise me you won't hurt her, Heatwave. She may be your twin sister, but she's my mate. I don't want her hurt."

"No guarantees." Then he headed out to go find his sister. He was hoping to find her.

~I know you feel me in the bond, sis. Please talk to me. I wanna help you.~

~Who…who are you? How are you talking to me?~

~Its me, Heatwave. Your twin brother.~
