[Autobots]

"Fowler!"

In the Autobot base had been quiet. Until Arcee and her fellow partner Jack were back. It was obvious that the teenage boy was pissed by unknown reason as he climbed the stairs up at unbelievable speed, even getting the other four Cybertronians attention as well the three other humans.

Especially the Agent's.

"Jack?" Optimus tried to reason the boy's sudden upsetness as soon as he had came in, not going to get an answer once the boy and Agent Fowler were now standing face to face.

"I thought we discussed about what houses you can check-- but Chloe isn't the girl we're looking for!" Jack snapped pretty quick, Arcee sighed in defense knowing how he had complained about it the entire trip back to base. And her words obviosly didn't matter what she'd say.

"She has red hair and green eyes," Miko defended, changing her magazine's page as she kept reading. Too proud face on. Not noticing Jack's small glare directed for her.

"She also lives close enough, Jack." Rafael defended, now the blue eyed young man realized how much others had thought her to be the girl. But there was no way it could've been her. "Did she say anything to you?"

"Not to me." Agent Fowler said frustrated, looking down at Jack. "It's my duty, and I will deside of how we will go from now on-- we have to find that girl."

"Well hate to disappoint but neither she did to me and I'm one of the only people she trusts, which means we have no other choice but to list her off." Jack kept going, chest raising heavily of raising his voice so much. Suddenly a large servo was selected behind his back gently, forcing him to look up now at Optimus.

"If that is your wish and you believe Chloe isn't the girl we're looking for, then so be it." The Prime truly hated to see Jack getting all worked up, but it also lightened his mood to see how the boy reacted to this with relieved face. "But we must keep searching- because Megatron is for her. It may not be his top priority, but it will be ours. I will not allow a single human fall into his waiting claws."

"So, could it be Sierra?" Miko stood up from the couch and walked up to Jack and the team, nudging Jack's shoulder playfully.

"Definitely not." Jack groaned pretty quick.

"Maybe it's the girl we saw other day in that game-shop, Bee!" Rafael suddenly got excited, the scout widening his optics as well nodding madly.

"You need to calm down, we cannot let the word spread too much." Ratchet started getting irritated for they speaked too much, his work been interrupted each second. "If you start asking too much we only get humans frighten by no reason, and last thing we want is them to know of our existence."

:She could be anywhere.: Bumblebee beeped.

"It's like searching a needle from a haystack." Bulkhead replied with grumpy expression, although he remembered that feircy being who wasn't scared of Megatron.

"Conoral isn't pleased for me wanting to know new citizen's info, which means I can't get help from the goverment without explaining the reason." Agent Fowler sighed.

"Add more to our problems the 'Cons are getting their troops back on track, even if Starscream's now out of their game." Arcee said with crossed arms, optics glaring the big screen above.

"Replaced by Airachnid." Jack wanted to have other things to think and the scary-spider-Con was great way to do so. "What a mess."

Optimus furrowed his brows a bit.

"-- We have enough resources to deal with Megatron and his armada, as well start searching." The Prime begun, turning for the Agent who already stared at him. "If possible, you will gather all the information about Jasper, Nevada's people living in the town, then search the one's matching for Bulkhead's description. Even if it's concidered that this girl isn't going to talk, but it holds a threat for Megatron not giving up on finding her."

"I'll try without getting roasted." Agent Fowler stormed off towards the elevator, the doors sliding close as he left. Then the Leader of the Autobots looked down at his three human friends.

"It would also be good if you three keep your eyes open just in case, while we monitor for any website uploads about our kind as well patrol very careful." Optimus added, watching Miko squeal and fist pump the air to know she'd been claimed as the FBI agent for real.

"And in disguise." Jack corrected him a bit, but was satisfied that he desided to drop by the base and say what he had. Now they needed to only find that girl and that was their priority.

"This is awesome!"

[Chloe's Third P.O.V]

Tell her, tell her baby, baby, baby, baby...

I'm on fire.

"I tell her baby, baby, baby, baby- I'm a fireball."

And then came the drop Chloe was waiting, her hips swinging little as she tried to twitch very tight screw. It didn't feel like moving anytime soon but adding little 'Fireball- by Pittbull' it started to move great. Now she changed the canister and screwed the remaining shelter on, climbing back down to check what it looked like. Humming the song coming from radio at same time.

Beauty.

Wiping off the sweat covering her forehead Chloe felt proud of one thing; her invention was heading to the right direction. The way she wanted it anyway. Although she couldn't quite tell herself of what to think by it- meaning what was she actually doing. It first looked like pile of metal but then again if you looked it closer it did held great details.

"Maybe oil would be on point..." In deep though Chloe got from her working table another canister, until lifting it up and prepared to climb herself.

Clanck.

Frozing, the girl whipped her head to look towards the narrow open smithy's door, the echo obviosly from outside. Thiefs were usual in their neighbour hood, and it only increased her suspicion since she knew her Uncle was asleep. He had a rough day anyway.

Chloe moved away from her invention, taking a crowbar from the ground just in case. Self-defense? She didn't even know how to hold it-- but if enough angry could even get person knocked out.

"Uncle Joe?" She had to make sure of it, or then use it as distraction. Nor as a foolish girl just gave away her element of surprise. Chloe turned her volume down from the radio, seeing quick shadow move outside very quick. "Get the hell out of here-!"

In middle of her yell, as she ran out of that door under the unbelievably dark night sky, all her eyes caught was this metal thing she was about to smack the crowbar. And she had it tightly squeezed by her both hands, it already up to do some damage. Seeing it all wasn't just there- and as it moved Chloe stumbled a few feet back, eyes gazing up to have now a full-view.

Her eyes couldn't get wider than that.

Almost familiar but then again unfamiliar red optics locked down to her small being, even though it was dark their yard's bright light had turned on-- showing that now the robot standing there grinned devilioshly.

"Gotcha." The robot said almost too proud, crouching down. Chloe didn't know was he expecting her to be very approval for his reaching hand, but thought she got him off guard by smacking the crowbar on his 'fingers', getting the Bot to retrieve his hand away. "Oi--!"

Chloe ran back inside to her smithy, searching throughout her entire place for any weapon to use. What the hell he ment by that-- she didn't want to figure that out! The roof begun to crack until she rose her gaze, seeing it been torn off and throwed aside. Now she saw she had got this individual angry-- and it was obvious that he was there for a reason.

Maybe that bucket-helm's follower?

-- Alhough it's same nice colored as the 'kind' robots as well.

"I'm warning you!" Chloe couldn't find anything else than a pipe laying there for the time being, now her weapons that and the crowbar. "Don't come any closer!"

"Oh my, it's adorable to see a human like you trying to threaten me," The Bot came through Chloe's 'labra', getting the girl widen her eyes up as well gasp for tears. This had been her safe-zone for the past two years-- and he had just destroyed it. "But my master's orders stay. Taking down such a small creature should be a piece of cake."

Is he talking to himself?

"Master?" Chloe questioned, eyes traveling on the ground for second as she realized something. "So that Megatron-dude does lead something."

And now I'm trying to convince myself too.

-- The major problem here is that he wants me dead!

"You know too much." The robot shade of red-- as in other words Knockout but Chloe doesn't know it, glared now down at the earthling. And the gaze they gave for each other wasn't any friendly. "Now die!"

Chloe knew one thing of her smithy and yard--

She had the field advantage.

So once the Bot did almost caught her Chloe bended under her stairs as well run for her life across the place to reach for a familiar corner. The girl doved down under some dirty tables, grabbing the electricity panels she required and tested them together did it work out. Small problems were seen but she only increased the force of them. She had to be quick before the Giant would've crush the invention she had been working on for so long-- even with her parents.

Come on, come on--

But her leg had been grabbed hard, while Chloe's eyes turned wide as she was pulled out and lifted easily very high. There the girl hanged 16 meters off the ground, been brought eye-level with the red Bot now. And he didn't look so happy. This anxiety and adrenaline was going to get the human's heart fail someday as it felt like pounding out of her ribcage.

"You indeed are a pain in the aft," The Bot started, Chloe witnessed how his other 'arm' transformed into a sharp blade, as it reached all the way up to her throat. "But the games are over, human. You shall perish for the mistake you made."

Why are they such blabbermouths?

Or is this one just an individual who has a big mouth?

"Then do it." Chloe tempted, very annoyed. It was a shock how the robot couldn't see the difference in her arms- of the way she held those panels still. There was hint of angerness sworming over the Titan, but Chloe grinned afterwards wicked as well rose her middle finger up. "Too slow."

This girl actually smacked the two panels on the Bot's arm, pressing the electricity on. A brief shockwave went through the Bot's arm inmediately- his faceplate taking the kind of course Chloe wanted. The grib around her leg was gone... sending her towards the approaching hard ground. This she hadn't quite thought to the end. She embraced for an impact but found herself hit a metal surface sooner than the cold ground, she lifting herself up to see her invention had just saved her.

Saved 'saved'--

"You low-minded--" If the Bot was just before pissed... now he was outrageous. Chloe stood hoveringly up as well jumped away from her invention but was scared to death once plasma hit the wood-creation of hers, which on she usually worked, unbalancing the entire thing. So she stumbled to stand until fell on her ass, eyes widening how her necklace gave up and fell somewhere in the cables of her invention.

"No, no, no--!" But she didn't have enough time to move and get it when something heating up was heard, her head rose enough to see hot blaster's tip aimed at her head. It was beautiful to watch- but crucial at same time. No words left her as she bit her lip so hard it bled. "Please. I haven't done anything." That came way ruder than ment.

"You showed disrespect towards our Master, which is not accectable." The Bot groaned, his left arm probaby damaged as it just rested there. Woah, how much electricity actually worked!

"Won't apology be enough!?" Chloe questioned desperately, not been brought this low. She just tried to reach that screwdriver right in her arm reach, but it was on the second floor so she had to reach. The Bot stared at her for a brief moment, until was seen turning pissed again. "One thing still amazes me," She almost growled for still not reaching it, the robot yet l not seen her action. "Didn't he have the guts to come himself and finish me off?"

But the Bot gave quite pitiful snort at this.

"To put it simply; Lord Megatron has far more worse problems to deal with than a low human like you." The red robot growled, his blaster very heated up. "Any last words, girl?"

"Just two," Chloe lent back fully, having the object in her right palm. At that she swung herself back- taking small step back not expecting it to actually work, while her arm lent forward. "Fuck you!" Now the girl drawned the screwdriver along his beautiful chest 'plating', trying her best to ignore the unpleasent sound caused by it. There was now very ugly drawned line covering his front, the Bot's red optics widening bigger than dinosaurs' ever had. "Teaches you for messing with us humans."

"You pathetic human--!" As the robot launched at Chloe the girl tremped for her tool box, almost falling off the railing. But something big moved beside her, powering up. A low growl was heard now, while she didn't dare to move. "What is this!?"

Chloe builded the courage to see, eyes widening also. Now she saw teeth, 'oil-drool' dripping from the mouth's covers while the pile of her junk had transformed into an animal. It seethed for the Bot, biting in warning of chasing after him. Within a second that bad Bot was gone yelling out loud for terror, only thing left for Chloe to hear were tires spending the dry ground.

The girl felt her heart miss a beat once the big beast's other eye locked for her small frame.

"Y-you..." Chloe trembled, but wasn't expecting parts shift again. She jumped down from the railing as well backed away, but at same time walked to stand somewhere in front of her creation. Suddenly, it's eyes glowed off, and it just stopped moving. The human jumped almost twenty feet away for seeing it's jaw snap smally open, as small object fell down to the ground. "... What?"

It was her necklace.

What the fuck-

Mom-- what weapon did you gave for me!?

Slowly, Chloe found herself approaching the just hissing 'wolf', which didn't look like one anymore at all. She crouched down and picked up her the most important treasure, drawning her thumb against the blue crystal's surface which didn't even get a scratch. Until Chloe looked back up and couldn't help but smile a bit. She had created something unbelievably awesome. Strong.

"You saved me." Until the girl reached up and touched it's 'nose', rubbing it as if it felt it. "Thank you."

I will get it done.

I promise you two that.

"Knockout. How is it possible, of all creatures- that a small human that small was able to defeat you!?"

Now the Warmonger was outrageous for his medic. Disappointed, as well shocked of was this even possible anymore. While Megatron had taken care of his 'problems' and was noted of Knockout's return he had called him to the main room, but wasn't pleased by the news as well the condition the red medic was in.

"M-my liege, she isn't just a human-- in theory yes she is physically and mentally same as a human but the way she thinks and creates is the perfect level of Shockwave's." Knockout quickly defended himself, Airachnid, Breakdown and Megatron watched like he had lost his mind. Soundwave simply remained still watching.

"... Are you certain the human didn't scratch his processor, my liege?" Airachnid questioned to make the armostphere tense, clearly trying to anger their Lord more.

"I cannot be certain." Megatron mumbled almost to himself, demanding Knockout to explain himself.

"Please, heed my words. For eons I haven't seen such well builted Cyber-wolf for the individual she had created--" But the medic was cut off.

"Cyber-wolf?" Breakdown confirmed his partner, shoulders gapped upright as he stared with other eye. "That can't be right."

"Will you go and check it out?" Knockout growled, his right arm still unabled to use. "Please my Lord," Until his optics shifted for the biggest Cybertronian on the entire Nemesis, who's crimson red optics just kept reading his faceplate. "Either that human has learned Cybertronian skills, been taught by one of our kind or she has learned it all from something else means that she's a grieving threat. One thing is certain; she isn't part of the Team Prime."

"Can you prove that? Maybe her Autobot was just busy." Airachnid scolded pretty quick, not trusting anything he was saying.

"The other three has been seen almost around the clock guarded, either they remain in the base or call for help. But this one fighted her own." Knockout growled, glaring at her spider-frame. "She didn't even yell to gain someone's attention."

Megatron turned for a second off the circle he and his lietnants were forming, grabbing his servos behind his backstruct. He couldn't help but grin of thinking what Knockout had told to him. That human was asking death to consume her.

"What we're facing up against is a feisty little human." Their Lord said after small time of thinking.

"Will I have your permission to collect the both creatures for my beautiful collection, Lord Megatron?" Airachnid asked, after the trust of her rightful Lord. Although Knockout and Breakdown had their suspicions of the spider-femme, knowing she wasn't 100 percent trustworthy.

"No." The Warlord suddenly snapped, smally turning his helm to notify them to listen. "If what Knockout claims is true, Cyber-wolfs are ancient and strong, our pets if you may call it. We could definitely use one in our ranks." Then the huge silver mech turned fully, walking past his subordinates intention to head for his quarters first. "I will personally engage our trouble-maker later when she least expects it. Airachnid will be in charge till I return." He desided to inform of it now; knowing he will be gone as soon his optics will snap open.

"Yes, my liege."
