Ratchet was puzzled by the name. 'K.I.F.O.R?' he thought as he turned towards the computer genius. "Raf, is there any information you can pull up on our new guests?"

Raf looked up from his computer back towards Ratchet. "As far as I've searched so far, nothing has come up." He lowered his head back to his screen as he continued typing.

"Seems their leader likes sticking to the shadows like a coward" Bulkhead challenged, smashing his fists together, "Not mech or man enough to have a fair fight."

Suddenly, Knockout spoke out abruptly, interrupting Bulkhead's rant, "I wouldn't be so sure of that."

Everyone turned their optics towards Knockout. "And why's that?" Bulkhead asked while failing to keep his cool.

Knockout was repairing Windblade's cut face while he spoke, "Well, let's talk about his tactics." Knockout began, "First he overwhelmed that M.E.C.H. base with his forces, causing a perfect distraction."

He dropped his welder before grabbing some medical energon and applying it to Windblade's scar. "Then he knocks this scout out of the air and corners her on the other side of said base."

Knockout looked back towards the autobots once he finished, "And finally, he has weaponry that can cut through cybertronians." He began waving his finger, "Not just anybody can prepare or plan that effectively as a coward."

"So then, what's our next step?" Chromia asked as she turned towards Ratchet.

Ratchet looked at her as he processed what they would do about this information. "For now, I suggest everyone take some time off while me and Raf research both our next target and our new rival."

Everyone nodded before heading off in their own directions. Bulkhead picked up Miko before he departed and Windblade joined her team to allow them some reprieve of worry. Arcee walked with Chromia until they both separated within the halls of their base, each heading to their own living quarters.

As Arcee stepped up to the door to her quarters there was a panel on the right of the door. She tapped a sequence of buttons, and the door swiftly opened in an upwards slide. Upon stepping through the door, there was another panel on the side of the door that she began typing another sequence for.

The door closed just as swiftly as it had opened and the panel now glowed a soft red. Looking around, Arcee noticed items that were new and strewn throughout.

On the left-hand side of the room, there was some weighted equipment paired with metal furniture of some kind. Underneath most of the weights were small mats that seemed to go with a nearby basket that held some towels.

In the center of the room, she spotted her own desk that came up just below her waist. The desk had her own workstation that had a holographic screen and touchpad for easy use. Alongside her computer were personal knickknacks she acquired during the war.

Finally, she he noticed her berth set up in the far-right corner of the room, practically untouched. Beside the berth, however, was a human sized bed paired with a dresser, nightstand, and desk accompanied by a small computer and lamp.

Sitting on the nightstand was a picture frame that was turned away from Arcee's view. She walked slowly towards the furniture wondering what or who put these things in her room. She reached for the picture frame and turned it around and what she saw almost made her drop it.

Inside the frame was a picture of Arcee with Jack on her shoulder. A fond memory for her as it was the first time she and her partner had taken a picture together. She closed her optics as she began to reminisce.

Years Earlier…

Jack leaned against the railing set up around the human recreation area as he chatted with Arcee.

"You still think my trusty survival kit sucks huh?" Jack retorted.

Arcee leaned her back against the wall and rolled her eyes, "I'm just saying what use is it when you have me?"

"And what if I didn't?" Jack sarcastically stated.

Arcee stood and leaned towards the railing, "Not a possibility."

The two stood staring at each other unwilling to budge on the topic of survival kit importance. They stayed unmoving until disturbed by a certain someone.

"You guys should get a room!" Miko yelled out, causing Jack to blush and Arcee to look at her in confusion.

"Miko!" Jack groaned back.

"Or you could take a picture" Miko continued, "It'll last longer~" she teased as Jack began running at her.

Arcee watched the two humans playfight before asking, "What's a picture?"

The two stopped and looked back towards the autobot in confusion. "You… don't know what a picture is?" Jack started.

"No?" Arcee continued with her expression growing more interested.

Miko gasped as she realized, "You two should take one together!"

Jack looked at Miko in disappointment before realizing that it wasn't such a bad idea. He then looked towards Arcee as she looked towards him. "What's the worst that could happen?" Arcee stated.

Jack walked up towards Arcee and leaned against her leg. Arcee looked down at her charge with confusion.

Miko raised her camera, "Strike a pose Arcee!" she stated.

Arcee crossed her arms and slightly put her leg out as if she was leaning towards Jack. Miko swiftly took the picture before coming up with a better idea.

"Hey Arcee, can you lift Jack up onto your shoulder for a moment?"

Arcee lowered her servo for Jack to climb on which he swiftly did before she raised him up and placed him on her shoulder. Once in position Jack leaned back against Arcee's helm in order to get a decent shot and raised his hand to make a peace sign.

Arcee semi-copied Jack's by leaning as well and putting up her own peace sign with her hand on her hip.

Miko took the picture before anything else happened. "And that's… Perfect!" She raised her phone to Arcee, "Here take a look"

Arcee grabbed the phone gently before raising it to see a picture she would cherish for the remainder of her stay on Earth.

Back to the Present…

Arcee was still looking at the picture she had of her partner and realized just how much they needed one another. Suddenly, a knock was heard from her door.

"Arcee?" A familiar femme's voice came from outside the door to the room, "May I come in?"

Arcee walked over and opened the door to be greeted by her sister Chromia. Arcee turned around to let her sister walk in behind her and look at what was her living quarters for the ending of the war.

She analyzed every inch of the room she stood in, as if it were sacred ground. Until she noticed some newer, better kept pieces of furniture.

"So, I'm assuming that those are from this 'Jack' you admire?" Chromia questioned as she gestured towards the newer stuff.

"Well… you assume correctly." Arcee replied rather coldly.

Chromia looked at her sister with a sly smile, "Which part exactly?"

Arcee leaned against a wall and rolled her eyes, "The fact that this gear belonged to him and nothing more"

Chromia continued looking around, taking note of every artifact and weapon kept in the room. And then she paused while analyzing Arcee's desk and what lay on it. An ornate frame with a picture displayed inside it. The most notable thing she noticed was the smile plastered along Arcee's face.

"For someone that you don't admire," Chromia started while looking at the picture, "He knew how to make you smile."

Arcee looked up at her sister, "That he did."

Chromia turned to Arcee and offered her hand, "Come one, let's get you out of her for a little while."

Arcee waves her hand at the comment, "And what good would that do?"

Chromia grabbed Arcee's wrist and began dragging her, "Too late to say no now"

Once Arcee accepted her fate, she began walking besides Chromia as the both of them chatted with their teammates and newer bots. Eventually they came to the main room where Ratchet was typing away on his computer.

Miko spotted the duo and began approaching them with a laptop. "Do you two want to watch some old memories?"

Chromia excitedly looked over at her sister who returned the look with a less than amused blank stare. "Sure" Chromia said as she looked back at the small human.

The trio went over to a wall to sit beside one another as Miko began bringing up a list of videos.

The first couple of videos Miko pulled up were battles that she snuck in to see. Arcee grew more and more annoyed realizing how often she had gotten involved with the bot's outgoings while Chromia admired Miko's bravery and studied how her sister fought in many of the battles.

Then, she pulled up a video that seemed different than the rest. As she pressed play, she sat back and was rather still and quiet.

"So, what would you do if they returned?" The camera turned on revealing Miko on the other end, younger than her currently but older than when the bots had first left.

The camera then flipped, revealing Jack leaning against a railing in the base, "Well, I guess that all depends on who shows up." He replied.

"Smokescreen or Bumblebee?" Miko said cheerfully.

"I'd more than likely challenge them to some video games or racing." Jack stated while chuckling softly. "What if Bulkhead showed up huh Miko?"

Miko dawned her iconic sarcasm, "Well obviously, we'd go to a monster truck rally and stay up all night long listening to rock!" she replied enthusiastically.

The camera zoomed in slightly trying to capture Jack's smile. Miko, Arcee and Chromia all leaned in, trying to burn a picture in their minds about their friend, and partner, at his best.

"So, what if it were Arcee?" Miko teased.

Jack's face brightened slightly before he turned around and leaned his back against the railing, "If that were to happen," He pondered thoughtfully, "We would probably go on an extended night ride and take in the sights just like the old days."

As Jack finished his explanation of what he'd do with his old companions, Arcee held her servo up to her chest. She knew how much she cared about Jack, but she never got the chance to say anything to him about it. And now, she was given a small reminder of the care the two had for one another. And with that, the video came to an end.

Chromia looked over at Arcee and noticed a tear forming in her eye as she looked at the computer.

Arcee then focused on Miko before speaking, "T-Thank you, Miko"

Miko only turned back and smiled, "Anything for the best duo we had."

Chromia looked down at Miko, "So, do you have any stories that weren't captured on film?"

Both Miko and Arcee looked towards Chromia, "Of course we do."
