"You're paint job was inverted Lightblade! And your voice..." Raf trailed off. "What happened to my voice?" Lightblade said, freaked out. "I-It was... deep. Not like your usual one." Ratchet said, making Ioa frown even more.

"I don't understand..." Ioa said as she winced even more, her helmache getting worse. Ratchet helped Ioa to the medbay as she leaned on him for support. "Looks like Ioa's now Ratchet's frequent patient." Arcee commented, leaning on a wall for support. They were lucky Ioa had brought them out of the situation or they would be the ones on the medbay, not Ioa.

Ioa groaned in pain as Ratchet scanned her optics, not liking the bright blue light shining in her optics. Optimus was worried. If what his team said were true, then Ioa has something more than just being a medic. But the problem was Ioa doesn't seem to remember or know what happened.

Bumblebee warbled in worry as he watched Ioa who was on the medical berth. This was the second time she saved their afts now. He did see Ioa's colour changed for a brief moment before it returned to her original color scheme, so he trusted his friend's words. But he also trusted Ioa on not knowing, the femme medic was still freaked out as Ratchet scanned her.

"What about the MECHS?" Miko suddenly spoke up. "Chances are, they are looking for us. But we should be safe here for now. We need to contact Agent Fowler, I fear this situation has gone terrible wrong." Optimus said. "Optimus's right. We saw the MECHS' agents all having some advanced weapons, far too advance for a human technology." Arcee said. Optimus left to call Agent Fowler, updating him on the situation.

"I-I don't understand..." Ioa said, sitting on the berth. "Why- Why can't I remember anything? I remember standing while looking at Ratchet and Raf doing something on the computer, then suddenly I'm on the floor with a massive helmache." Ioa said frustrated. Everyone felt bad for her, she was in the dark about this.

"Could it be I have a bug in my processors? No, I always try to maintain my processor status in optimum condition. Then it must be excessive working causing me to malfunction! But if so, I would be over-heating and my sensor would surely notify me! Even my cooling fans would surely turn on! The Antartica? Well we already established that it did made my system went haywire but it was a quick trip, surely not devastating enough to break my system down in such manner!" Ioa ranted to herself, making everyone even more worried. She was in excessive thinking mode, and there's nothing they can do to stop her.

"Think Ioa! If it's the processors always forced to shut down, it's definitely due to insufficient energon to the processors, causing it to malfunction! But if so, I would be in a self-induced coma..." she said out loud. "Did she just rant about medical causes and effects?" Bulkhead said, not catching up her words at all. No one answered him because they were still at shock. The calm femme now in Ratchet mode as she was rattling off medical sickness and the solution.

Fed up, Ioa opened her subspace and retrieve her datapad, hoping to find an answer to her sickness. "I'm pretty sure I have this information somewhere..." Ioa trailed off as she typed something on the datapad, not satisfied with her own deductions. The datapad's result came up empty as the femme groaned and retrieved another datapad from her subspace and search.

"Did she just open up a space pocket and took out a cybertronian Ipad?" Miko asked. "It's called a subspace Miko. It's our personal compartment to store stuff. The space isn't limited, but it can store quite the amount of stuff." Bulkhead explained."That being said, Ioa! How many datapads you got in your subspace?!" he said, shocked. Ioa was taking out her 6th datapad as she scours through her datapad, trying to find her answers. She was about to take out the 7th one when Optimus laid a servo on Ioa's shoulderplate, stopping her.

"I think that's quite enough Ioa. It's alright. We will figure this out, no need to overstrain yourself. You did quite a lot saving us earlier, thank you for that." He said, making Ioa nod as she slumped in defeat. She felt useless not knowing what happened. "We'll figure something out Ioa, don't worry!" Raf said, trying to cheer her up. Ioa only gave him a tiny smile in return.

Somewhere in Jasper, Nevada.

"Where is this Lightblade!? Primus the dust is ruining my paint job!" a familiar red Aston Martin and a blue SUV drove on the sandy road of Jasper, Nevada. "Maybe we should try the mines, the one where Ioa went missing?" Breakdown suggested. "No way she will still be there after so long! The bots took her! How are we suppose to find Ioa when we don't even know where's the Autobots' base?!" Knockout groaned. "Lord Megatron do love to torture us, don't he?" he asked loudly. Breakdown said nothing as they continue driving, hoping to meet her somewhere.

The both of them soon come across a cave and they transformed into their biped modes. "I'm picking up a strong signal here, must be an energon mine." Knockout said, energon detector in servo. "Perhaps we can use this to satisfy our Lord's demand in the meantime." He said as they both walked into the cave. They stopped and hide behind a big boulder when they saw not only the Autobots, but some... fleshies?

"Bulkhead." Breakdown whispered angrily, he badly wanted to have his revenge on the Wrecker, but it was only the two of them versus the Autobots and the MECHS. The favor was not on their side, so they chose to stay hidden. They observed as one fleshy stood among the other and talked about something before they opened fire. The two Decepticons wanted to retreat for safety before they saw something fascinating. Out of nowhere, a strange portal opened and the bots fell in, leaving MECHS and them in the cave as they all but vanished. The portal seemed like a groundbridge but the colour was dangerous blue and green, not like the usual colour of a groundbridge. They decided to retreat for now to report this interesting incident to their master.

'At least it should satisfy our Lord for this strange occurrence. Maybe the Autobots got hold of a new version of a groundbridge?' Knockout thought as they drove away from the scene before requesting for a groundbridge.

A/N: AY YO! AUTHOR'S NOTE CHECK! The last chapter Paramed is my OC btw, forgot to mention earlier! Also Decepticons! Yay! But poor Ioa, she's all stressed up, she needs some hot cocoa! Anways, stay tune for the next chapter and as always stay safe and healthy! Enigma signing out!
