" M16 and TRF are here! " yelled cogman running down the hallway. Stinger deactivated her holoform and was back in her real body next to bee and hot rod. The three saw a line of black cars with flashing lights coming down the road , they ran to the castle entrance, and jumped over the wall. Stinger saw a old seeker  mech. The mech grabbed a gun on his side and said " I got em boys"  but he just fell over his own feet. Stinger rolled her obtics  at the old mech thinking he was nearly as looney as the tank from earlier  . As the cars came through the gate bee and stinger transformed into their alt modes and hot rod yelled " hurry, move! Quick, quick, quick!". Cade ran to bee and vivian ran to stinger, Cade said get us out of here bee, stinger". Hot rod motioned for them to leave " get out of here! My weapon will stop the time!" He then shot his gun at the men running from the cars creating a pink bubble and slowing them down. They then drove around them and through the front gate. 

As they were driving stinger decided it would be an excellent time to start a conversation with Vivian " so why did you choose to ride with me instead of bee?", Vivian looked out the window I needed a few minutes away from Cade. Plus I figured you wouldn't try to leave or try anything at the moment considering our surroundings ". Stinger chuckled and used a bit of a baby voice " awwww! Is someone getting tired of their new boyfriend already" . Vivian glared a bit at the dash board and was about to retort but what she realized was that stinger was doing " this in revenge for me calling bumblebee your boyfriend earlier isn't  it", " maybe " Vivian swore if she could see stingers face right now there would be an extremely cheeky look on her face. " as much as I would like to continue this conversation we're here " stinger said as she and bee pulled up to a large apartment and then let Cade and Vivian out , then drove off. 

As they drove off to the meeting point with hot rod, Vivian, and Cade, bumblebee decided to open a comm link channel  with stinger. " so you and ..... hot rod, .....what's that about ", stinger made a sound of surprise " huh what do you mean me and hot rod ". Bee scoffed " well you two .... certainly seemed to get along quite well " stingers confusion still continued to grow , as she didn't understand what the problem was " well hot rod is a really nice mech " bee growled " oh yeah real nice,..... you guys were.... being real...... nice to each other " bee said with a very salty tone. if stinger was in her bi pedal mode she would have a shocked look on her face plate , she had seen bee act this way before " what the hell is your problem" , bee growled " nothing" and from then on out bee refused to talk stinger. 

Then the two came to the meeting spot and saw Vivian and Cade already there and hot rod pulled up behind them. Cade and Vivian  ran to bee and they all started moving again.   They were speeding down the road a bunch of cop cars started chasing them. Hot rod opened a comm to bee and stinger " bee, stinger, I'm gonna divert the cops". Stinger chimed in " I'm coming to" and started following him " alright little lady" , bee growled at the whole thing but tried to keep it quiet so the others wouldn't notice. 

Stinger and hot rod took a different route than bee and most of the cops followed. They came to an intersection and a cop car came driving at stinger from the side but she managed to swerve out of the way causing it to hit a car behind her. " little lady watch out " yelled hot rod and stinger looked to see a car coming up off to her right side and rammed it into a parked vacant car. Hot rod saw a ally way road and the two quickly turned onto it causing at least three of the cars chasing them to skit and crash in a attempt to follow, then after a few more turns they managed to lose them. After that they arrived at the navy museum to see the others already there.

When bee and stinger saw each other they glared but before they could say a word the sub the humans were in activated and the two had to jump on. Stinger turned back to hot rod and waved" bye hot rod " he waved back and said " bye little lady ". Bee glared at the two of them harder, and the sub got in the water, then started sailing to the open ocean. The sub submerged itself in water and not long after that they ran into a nuclear sub. A torpedo shot out from the sub as a warning shot barely missing them.  The sub started to go vertical and bee and stinger struggled to hold on. The sub started to circle back around and hit the other sub, the collision caused stinger to lose her grip a bit, bee rolled his optics at her and pulled her back up, but at least they lost the other sub, not long after that the two saw cogman getting shot out of the sub like a torpedo.

Inside the sub 

Vivian had just finished having her dinner with cade and she was walking around, exploring the sub when she caught sight of very colorful hair, " stinger what are you doing in the sub" stinger looked down and sighed then looked back up at Vivian " I just needed to get away from bee for a few minutes" , Vivian frowned " you seem a bit frustrated did something happen between you and bee after you dropped me and cade off at my mums house". Stinger leaned her head up against the wall " yeah the two of us had a fight. Bee started to question me about me and hot rod getting along, acting as if it was some great evil, and was being a complete aft, which is so not like him. I mean honestly can't a femme be friends with a mech ". Stinger looked at Vivian again but was confused when she saw a look of amusement on the other woman's face " what?" , Vivian smiled " you really haven't figured out what's wrong with bee,  he's jealous " , " what ? that's ridiculous I'm not even sure bee and I could bee counted as friends, there is no way he's jealous " , Vivian put a hand on stingers shoulder " look stinger I may not have known the two of you long but in the short few hours I've known you, I can tell  bee has feelings for you that goes past friendship, and you have feelings for him , you just want to Denie it. Look you may not have to admit your feelings to him immediately but you two need to talk this out so you can go back to getting along " . Stinger gave Vivian a thankful smile " thanks for the talk Vivian " then stinger deactivated her holoform and she was holding on to the sub again next to bee. 

After a few minutes she saw a large ship through the water , that they were heading towards. A part of the ship started To open and the sub started to go through, as they went through the entrance closed behind them.  As they reached the top of the water the sub stopped moving and bee and stinger got out. When the humans and cogman got out of the sub they started walking across it. Cade looked at Vivian and said " what now?". Cogman walked to the edge of the sub " your the last knight. You're the earls special guy. You figure it out. I'm not going in that water. My gears would be sucked into my main shaft" . Bee and stinger finally had enough and pushed him off the sub and stinger said " you'll be fine if me and bee are fine" then mumbled " you annoying psycho ".  Cogman popped out of the water and said " now all three of you are on my shit list" stinger rolled her optics and said " yeah well your on mine" , then continued walking on.

Vivian was looking around " this is unbelievable ", Cade walked over to a part of the wall " yeah this is unbelievable. What does the old man want us to do". He then lit a flare causing them to see a small casum in the wall just big enough for the two of them and not bee and stinger.  Cade looked  at bee and stinger and yelled " bee, stinger, go around, find another way! Come on!" He started to walk through the casum. Bee looked annoyed " what are you serious. Think I like winding up in a place like this! ", stinger walked closer to bee " quite your complaining bee and get climbing", bee just glared at her " oh yeah.... make me".  stinger sighed and quickly built up her courage, then kissed him on the cheek, bumblebees optics widened and he squicked in surprise. Stinger smirked at him and started to climb some wires on the wall " lets go" she yelled Down at him as he started to follow.

When they stopped climbing and started to walk down a tunnel bumblebee sighed " stinger ....about earlier , I'm sorry for the .....way I acted. I shouldn't have gotten .....angry about ...you and hot rod ....getting along". Stinger looked at him " it's alright bee I forgive, but please don't act like that again", " I promise , ... I was just jealous . Stinger looked slightly confused but not to surprised " but why, what exactly made you jealous " , bee sighed " because I really like you ,..... and as for what made me .....jealous, all of it , you complimenting..... his accent, immediately being nice to him ......when you have only just recently started to warm up .....to me and the others" . Stinger chuckled and blushed " well don't worry hot rod isn't my type , and I really like you too" she smiled, then pecked him on the cheek. 

They then  got to merlins tomb just in time to see Vivian grab a wooden stick that turned into the staff. The ship started to move, and stinger noticed there were a bunch of armed humans from the TRF and m16 there as well. The humans ran towards Vivian and the lead human said " Connor her. Hey, drop the weapon. Do it" . Vivian ran over to a  chasm and held the staff over it " you drop it or I will" the staff then glowed at light blue real quick ,to fast for most of the humans to notice ,and it hit stinger causing her to stumble a bit but bee caught her. He asked " are you all right? " , stinger stood up again" yeah I just feel weird" just then she heard the multiple voices " we see great potential in you , we grant you the abilities of creating illusions of yourself, and healing . Use these abilities wisely , you will need them for what is to come" stinger was confused about what was going on but she didn't have much time to contemplate what it was.

Two more cybertronian came to saying " protect the staff" and the humans fired at them . Before the bots could do much damage the two were cut down by another mech behind them. The mech came out of the mist to show himself as Optimus prime, however stinger noticed there was something seriously off with him and stayed behind bumblebee a bit to try and avoid notice. Optimus said " I've come for the staff. Give it to me" then started to walk towards Vivian. Cade looked at him confused " Optimus.... what are you doing? It's me Cade. We faught together ". Optimus  knelt down  and growled " I fight for my own kind! My own planet!  Give me the staff human.". Cade looked down ' give it to him, now" , Optimus grabbed the staff and the humans fired on him and Optimus attacked back, walked away and said " who dares challenge me?".

Bee started to act all sad and confused, then Cade walked up behind him " something's wrong bee! Something happened. That is not Optimus." Then stinger started talking " we got to find him, bee. Remember ZB-7? You got to be that autobot again". Bee looked at her and nodded then he grabbed a giant hammer on his back and the two ran off after optimus.
