Mazikeen was with Ratchet and Jazz in the Medical Bay, Jolt was with Eddie and his squad practicing in the training room. Ratchet sighed, 

"Maze, come look at this,"

Mazikeen was quick to look and see the metal slowly forming, 

"Holy Primus!"

Ratchet smiled largely, 

"We did it!"

Mazikeen looked at him, 

"Can I try?"

Ratchet sighed and nodded his head, 

"Just this once,"

Mazikeen smiled largely. She sat down and closed her eyes and thought about the Cybertronians. She thought about the big swords that her brothers use, Sideswipe broke his. She reached out to the metal in front of her and she heard gasps and when she opened her eyes, she saw the two swords in front of her, 

"IT WORKED!" 

She jumped out and did a small happy dance, 

"Frag yeah! I can help repair you guys AND build your weapons!"

Jazz laughed and smiled at her, 

"You sure are one of a kind,"

Ratchet smirked, 

"And, she is our one of a kind,"

Mazikeen laughed and winked at the two, 

"I'm your favorite All Spark,"

Ratchet chuckled and patted her head with his digit, 

"No, you are our favorite human,"

Mazikeen smiled softly and nudged his digit, 

"Yeah,"

Tex walked in and smiled brightly at his creator, 

"Mom! Ironhide wants you to come for training,"

Mazikeen nodded and Jazz put her down on the floor, Tex smiled as he climbed onto her shoulder, 

"Let's go!" 

Mazikeen laughed and patted his head, 

"Yes, let's get going,"

She waved at Ratchet and walked towards the training room. Tex joined the group for a change as well at the request of Ironhide as Tex was being privately trained by the weapons specialist. Mazikeen finally came out uninjured, other than her shoulder, and they all cheered, and Mazikeen glared at them,

"Okay okay! Let it all out, bullies,"

Darwin put his arm around her shoulder, 

"Oh, relax, we are just teasing you,"

Mazikeen rolled her eyes and pushed him, 

"Yeah, yeah,"

They all laughed and walked out of the room. Phillip nudged Tex, 

"You, lil buddy, were amazing, I'm keeping you,"

Mazikeen laughed with Tex, 

"Okay! I'm a part of your team now, right Maze?"

Mazikeen smiled and nodded her head, 

"Yes, you can be a part of this squad,"

Darwin raised his hands in victory, 

"Hell yeah!"

Tex laughed and Epps picked him up and put him on his shoulder, 

"I'm keeping Tex for my patrol, Mynx,"

Mazikeen chuckled and nodded, 

"Okay, I'm going back to help Ratch finish up some new things, everyone has their weapons?"

They all nodded. For training, they used paintball guns sometimes, but they kept Mazikeen's specialized pistols on their belts. Mazikeen smiled and waved at them as Jazz walked back up to her. He put his servo down and she climbed onto it as they walked to the Medical Bay, 

"How did it go?"

"Fantastic! Tex is now on our squad, which works out very well because a part of me does want him near me during a battle,"

Jazz smiled softly and nudged her with a digit, 

"That's the mother in you,"

Mazikeen shrugged, 

"Yeah, most likely...but I don't feel that all the time with you, Sun, and Sides,"

Jazz smiled at her, 

"The bond that we have with our carriers is different than with friends, guardians, and siblings."

Mazikeen nodded, 

"Yeah, I guess it's just always something I am learning about more and more,"

Jazz smiled at her, 

"Well, you are learning quickly,"

Mazikeen shrugged, 

"I was finally able to make weapons without my hands, the next step is creating a spark,"

Jazz nodded, 

"Yes, but take your time with this, it is a lot of work,"

Mazikeen nodded, 

"I know."

They got to Ratchet and Jazz let her down on the table near him, 

"So, the swords work?"

Ratchet nodded with a smile on his face, 

"Yes, the twins just came to pick them up."

Mazikeen smiled, 

"Good,"

Then an alarm rang through the base. Mazikeen froze in place at the familiar alarm, 

"The Cons are back!"

Ratchet raised his servo, 

"Mazikeen, you are staying right here,"

Mazikeen frowned, 

"What?! No!"

Jazz nodded his head, 

"Yes, you are. General Morshower also said he wants you to be kept safe because you are our Liaison. We are staying here,"

Mazikeen crossed her arms and stared at the two, 

"I need to help them!"

Jazz stared right back at her, 

"And you do that by staying here,"

Mazikeen glared at him, Jazz almost flinched at the piercing look in her eyes but he stood his ground, 

"Everyone is fighting. You are fighting by staying here,"

Mazikeen shook her head and turned her head away from them, 

"After all this time."

She took out Phoenix and put her on. She looked at Ratchet as her helmet encased her head, 

"This is the only time I'll listen to you about something like this,"

Jazz felt his spark drop when she didn't look at him.

"Lil M,"

Mazikeen shook her head, 

"Drop it,"

Jazz sighed as he felt a sharp pain in his spark. Ratchet looked between the two and sighed, 

"We will deal with that after,"

Mazikeen just nodded her head. Then there was a huge explosion. Mazikeen was blown away and into the corner of the Medical Bay. Mazikeen groaned as she opened her eyes again and saw a Decepticon fighting Jazz and Ratchet. Mazikeen immediately flew up and started shooting at the Decepticon. Jazz glanced at Mazikeen, 

"RUN!"

"NO!"

She took out her lightsaber and ignited it. She smiled softly at the familiar purple and flew towards the Decepticon, slashing his leg as he screamed. He managed to get Ratchet down. Mazikeen deflected any blasts coming at Ratchet as she hovered in front of his chassis. She had faith in her shields, but not that much faith. Jazz was soon flung back and Mazikeen flew over and tried slicing his hand. She was backhanded and sent flying to the floor with a groan. She opened her eyes to see two cannons, one pointing at Ratchet and the other at Jazz. She immediately flew up but hesitated as she heard the cannons whirring to life, 

"You move, I shoot,"

Mazikeen landed back down, turned off her lightsaber, and glanced at the unconscious Autobots, 

"What do you want?"

The Decepticon smirked, 

"My designation is Knockout, and the one thing I want...is you. We know that you are the All Spark. Come with me, and I will let these two live and call off the attack against this base,"

Mazikeen frowned and as soon as she turned off the sound from Phoenix spoke again, 

"Phoenix. When I deactivate you, I want you to stay with me. If I die, track Rover and you will become Sammy's guardian,"

"Okay, Mazikeen. Try to stay alive,"

"I will,"

Mazikeen sighed and raised her hands as she deactivated Phoenix, 

"Okay, I yield. Knockout,"

Knockout smirked. He transformed his cannons back into his servos and grabbed Mazikeen. Then transformed into his alt-mode and Mazikeen was knocked out.
