AS ELIZABETH AND HER FRIEND JACK were being chased by weaponized cars, a boy was playing underneath the highway bridge. The little brunette boy named Raf was making speeding noises with his mouth as he was playing with his toy car.

A phone call was heard as Raf picked it up, " Hi, mama." he answered, " Racing, right up the street ... Okay, just five more minutes? "

He smiled as he continued playing with the car on the highway Elizabeth and Jack were driving away from the purple cars, Jack spotted a construction site ahead which made his eyes widen as the blue and pink motorcycle veered to the side and launched the edge.

" Oh, you got to be fucking kidding me ... " Elizabeth and Venom groaned, seeing them fly off the edge as she reeved her bike, soon following after them.

Raf, having heard the approaching noise, watched in shock as Jack and Elizabeth flew over his head before landing safely in the old canal.

The young brunette stood up and stared at Jack in surprise and shock, Raf unconsciously dropping his remote controller. "Whoa," Raf said in amazement.

Jack sighed in exhaustion, the stress of all that had happened taking over as he turned his gaze to Raf. "Ugh, you have no idea."

Jack slowly got off of Arcee as Raf, having collected his bags, came over to him. "My god, Jack, are you okay? " Elizabeth asked worriedly, giving Jack a quick check over. "I-I'm fine Elizabeth." The sound of engines revving filled the air, cutting off Jack as the trio looked up at the top of the landing to see the twin Vehicon troopers looming at the top.

The troopers drove down the ledge and launched themselves into the old canal, transforming into their robot forms as they activated their blasters at Jack, Raf, and Elizabeth.

The trio slowly backed away only to turn around as Arcee transformed into her robot form, along with Cliffjumper. The human trio, not wanting to get involved or in the way, scurred over to the side of the canal as Arcee spoke. "This ends here, cons."

She took a battle stance and then charged at the twins. The twin vehicons took this as their cue to open fire on the female bot, Arcee skillfully dodging the blasts before jumping into the air and delivering a fierce kick to one of the drones bots' faces, the force of the kick sending him to the ground with a grunt of pain.

She then flipped out of the way of the other troopers' blaster fire before she delivered a flying kick to his face.

The sound of screeching and crunching metal filled Elizabeth's ears as the kids backed up towards the wall that lined the road, Jack alongside her. "What are they?" Raf asked, his voice shell-shocked.

 "Talking cars that turn into robots," Jack replied, sounding as shocked as they were. "Or the other way around." Elizabeth finished as they watched the fight.

 The three of them watched as the motorcycle and the red robot kept locked in their fight with the other two robots, Arcee's punches getting harder and harder.

 "Take this-" She said between punches. "- Decepticon scraps!" she yelled. " That was such a good insult " Venom sarcastically said in the teen girl's mind which Elizabeth ignored the symbiote's mocking comment as she watched the fight.

The female bot's last punch was the hardest, but the robot she was punching turned its head back towards her, a murderous gleam in its optics.

The blue and pink robot backed up a step, getting down into a fighting stance before flipping backward as the robot-car shot at her. 

The last shot made an impact, hitting her in the chest, and sent the motorcycle robot crashing to red car bot as they tumble to the ground. Jack, Raf, and Elizabeth surged forward but stopped, knowing they'd be crushed in no time.

Another noise, one of the screeching tires, made them look up again, this time to see a black and yellow muscle car drive off the highway, turning into a robot like the others.

It landed in front of the twin robots and punched one hard, allowing the motorcycle robot and the red bot to get up. The twin robots fell hard and the black-yellow robot stepped back which only to step right on Raf's remote control car.

He looked down and lifted his foot, revealing the crushed bits of the young boy's car. Then he turned back to them, making a series of buzzing noises, which somehow Elizabeth and Raf understood.

"No problem," Raf assured the black-yellow robot. " Um, you should focus back on the fight." Elizabeth chimed in.

Once the words left her mouth, a gunshot from a twin car flew and hit the black-yellow robot in the chest, sending him flying back. Black-yellow robot tried to get back up, but one of the twin cars stepped on his head, forcing him back down. They both raised their guns to the black-yellow robot's face, ready to shoot.

"Leave him alone!" Raf yelled without thinking. Both twin cars turned their guns on Raf, Jack, and Elizabeth. Raf almost ducked back, his voice much weaker than before as he said, "Please?"

Jack crouched next to him. "Bad call." One vehicons walked towards them, its gun still aimed at the trio, when Jack grabbed Raf and Elizabeth's arms and ran.

"Come on! Come on!" Jack yelled, ushering them towards a pipe in the wall. He knew that pipe lead to the main park in Jasper, so it made sense to go through there. The Decepticon drone still stomped after them, even after the kids climbed into the pipe.

"Keep moving!" Jack yelled as they ran down the pipe. Elizabeth glanced back to see the twin car reaching down the pipe for us, she was ready to unleash Venom when all of a sudden it was jerked back. 

The trio stopped to hear multiple crunching noises and smashes before the black-yellow robot peered down the tunnel and made another series of buzzing noises, ' huh reminds me of a bumblebee' she thought, looking at the giant robot.

  "Thank you," the brunette boy told him and he buzzed back happily, telling them to get out of there. "Don't look back," Jack ordered, putting a hand on the little boy's shoulder to turn him away from the opening of the pipe, where Raf was looking in awe.

 As they ran farther down the pipe, Raf asked, "What did we just see?"

"No idea," Jack replied. "And I'm not sure I want to find out." As they were running, Jack listened to his friend cuss under her breath, " Shit, my bike was there, Dad is so going to murder me if he finds out" She was pretty sure that it was destroyed during the fight.

Cliffjumper, Arcee, and Bee heard a honking sound from further away and a green vehicle SUV was driving towards them. And as usual, the car leaps into the air and transforms, into the green bulky Autobot.

He land behind Bumblebee and Arcee, "Who's ready to rumble?" the green one said. "What took you?" Arcee ask, "Traffic" Bulkhead replied.

The bots were ready to leave but Cliffjumper noticed one of the bikes there, which was Elizabeth's which he carefully picked it up, the red mech couldn't help but feel that he should take it with him seeing how he thought that any human could steal it.

Arcee, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Cliffjumper soon arrived back. Arcee explaining Optimus what happened on their patrol: running into the three humans while being pursued by the 'Cons.

"And the 'Cons would've been scrap metal if I hadn't been distracted by the humans." She was saying.

"Humans?" Optimus asked, perplexed.

" :Three of them, actually. Two boys and a girl.: " Said Bumblebee, holding up three digits as he said so. 

"Two boys and a girl?" Optimus asked, surprised. "I guess a second one caught us in action? I don't know! Was a little busy at the time." Arcee said, irritated.

"If the Decepticons are targeting us, then anyone perceived as our ally, will be at grave risk." Said Optimus grimly. "Arcee, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper tomorrow, you two will find the three humans and bring them here, for their own safety."

Cliffjumper nodded as he looked at the motorcycle at the corner of the base, he didn't know why he had to keep the human girl's motorcycle safe but at least replay the girl for saving his spark even though the others didn't quite believe him of what he explained.

Back in town, Elizabeth said goodbye to Jack and the little boy which she learned that his name was Raf. Soon she arrived at her apartment block, which Venom poke out from Elizabeth's back, " So what do you want to eat? "she asked the black goo, scanning through the almost barren fridge.

" Chocolate and Tater tots! " he exclaims, his rows of sharp teeth turning into a grin as strings of drool drop onto the ground.

" Chocolate and Tator Tots we shall have, " she says, grabbing the frozen treats and putting them in the oven. A phone chime when one of Venom's tentacles grabs the device.

Elizabeth picks up the phone, " Hello?"

" Hey princess, it's Dad "Elizabeth's eyes widen as her dad was the last person she wanted to speak to because of the motorbike. " Hey Dad, what's up? " she nervously chuckles.

" Just asking how's my little girl's first day there and just to check if Venom hasn't chomped off any heads there "

" Hello to you Eddie and for your information, I haven't eaten a single head here ... yet " 

Elizabeth rolled her eyes at Venom, " Well I'm just gonna ignore what you said and we're fine dad, met Jack though and the place we're staying is nice" She opened to chocolate bar and fed to the alien goo resting on her shoulder.

" Jack?" her dad asked, " the scrawny kid that lived near us before we moved out " Eddie kinda remembered the kid.

" Yeah, he grew quite a bit, and I was kinda surprised that he remembered me, " Elizabeth said as she pulled out the tray of potato goodness, with an excited black goo who was ready to devour them.

" That's good that you have a friend there ... anyways Anne and I are celebrating our anniversary so I'll call you hopefully soon. Oh just wondering how's the bike treating you? you haven't destroyed it or anything like that, right? "

Elizabeth's eyes widen in panic, " Yep totally Dad! Hope you enjoy tonight then, and oh, don't forget to use protection okay bye have a good time but not too good " she quickly ranted before hanging up on her flustered father.

" Hahahaha oh god I'm dying - ack! " the blushing raven hair girl was trying to slap the alien, goo head from choking on a rogue potato.
