After the battle in the clearing, the trio who got a heavy beating from Emily were getting patched up. Breakdown groans as he finally fixes the dents and paint job on Knock Out. Breakdown backed up as Knock Out made sure that his paint job wasn't messed up. Talk about getting their aft kick by a human but more importantly a girl!

"Thank the Allspark I'm done with your paint job, Knock Out." Breakdown told him as he fixed his own dents while Knock Out just rolled his optics.

"Yes. But I still can't believe we were defeated by a tiny life form, a human to be exact. It's so humiliating, especially for me. She ruined my paint job." Knock Out agreed as he remembered how she hit him really hard as he can feel the impact of her kick. It felt almost like a Cybertronian kicked his face-plate.

"Next time I see her, I'm gonna crush her with my hammer." Breakdown smashed his fist into his servo. The next time he encounters the little human that beat them, he'll surely pound her down to the ground.

"Funny, if I remember clearly, she kicked your tailpipe." Knock Out told him as he had an amused smirk but it irked Breakdown.

"Aren't you a fun one to talk to?" Breakdown sneered at him as Knock Out sneered back.

"Anything you want to tell me, you big brute?" Knock Out sneered back.

They both had their weapons out as they were growling at each other and were both about to duke it down at each other before the familiar voice of Starscream was heard as they looked at the entrance as he was glaring at them with his red optics.

"Oh, please do us a favor and shut up." Starscream sneered at them as they put their weapons away and looked at him with smirks as they clearly remembered that he was the one who got beaten even harder and was even taunted.

"Oh, look at that. Looks like the all mighty Starscream is back up on his pedes. I hope next time you'll land better." Knock Out teased him as he and Breakdown snickered at the little pun.

"Be careful, Knock Out. I don't need to remind you that I can scratch your paint job with my bare finger." Starscream warned the red Decepticon, knowing that Knock Out doesn't like it when his paint job gets scratched up.

"Try me, fly boy." Knock Out growled as he took a step back. He just got his paint job fixed and he wasn't planning on getting it ruined again.

"Gotta say, Starscream, you don't look so bad. Considering you got hit pretty hard." Breakdown took notice of the noticeable dents on the second in command Decepticon and let out a snort.

"So did you, Breakdown." Starscream hates to admit it but to agree.

"We all did. Funny, to think that a small being got the best of us." Knock Out grumbled in annoyance since he was thinking up ways to get the human to pay for what she did to them.

"Not all of us. Even she could not kill Megatron." Starscream reminded them as they all knew that she wasn't able to end the life of Megatron. But the weird thing is; how in Cybertron a little human was able to get Cybertronian abilities and weapons and the oddest thing about her was how her other eye looked like an Autobot and how her symbol is an Autobot?

"Be careful, Starscream. That kind of talk can be considered treason. And you know what the price for treason is... don't you?" The sound of their leader's voice made them turn to the entrance and they saw that it was Megatron with Soundwave.

"Y-Y-Yes, Lord Megatron. Forgive me, I didn't mean to insult you." Starscream tried to make an excuse to avoid a punishment since he's already damaged enough from earlier.

"Spare me your excuses." Megatron growled threateningly and it made Starscream stop talking.

Knock Out just shook his head at him before looking at their leader before suggesting something in his CPU. "My liege. If I may, we should consider not to destroy the Autobots' newest ally."

Megatron looked at Knock Out in confusion as the red medic Decepticon felt dread in his body.

"Are you telling me that you're afraid of a little life form?" Megatron asked him. Certainly that the newest addition to the Autobots doesn't scare them.

"No, of course not." Knock Out quickly shook his head since the human girl from what he remembered was afraid of Megatron the most.

"Good, because we must destroy her before she destroys us. She's a good warrior. But just like Optimus, she's weak." Megatron told them before looking at Soundwave as he showed them the record of the battle as it paused on the image of the girl that was now their target.

Back at the Autobot base, Ratchet requested for Emily to have a check up. Emily tried to tell Ratchet that she was fine and there wasn't anything wrong with her but he insisted that it's to make sure that she's really okay. She sighed and looked to the others for help.

Optimus wasn't present so she grudgingly got on his servo as he let her down at the table ran some simple checkup on her like checking her heartbeat and reflexes which sent the reflex hammer flying to where Bulkhead is but Bumblebee caught it as she apologized in embarrassment and finally got her ears and optic-eye checked. He asked her if he could take a sample of her blood to see if there's anything he could find within her DNA structure as to how she was able to wield those Cybertronian weapons.

"Do you seriously have to, Ratchet?" She asked with uncertainty in her voice as Ratchet had the equipment for it as he rubbed the spot where he would get the sample.

"Yes. It's for us to see what happened yesterday. Maybe we can find the answers within your blood and DNA structure." He told her as she nodded and winced slightly as he took some of her blood through the injection and gave her something to clean her small wound.

"I'll show you the results tomorrow to be sure, Emily. Just go and be careful with the rest." She smiled up to him and patted his servo as she got off.

"Thanks, Ratchet." She got off and walked to the others who greeted her as Jack wanted a rematch to which she accepted.

Ratchet just watched her go before going to the microscope with her blood sample and looked into the lens before becoming confused. He blinked while pulling back before taking another look to make sure he wasn't seeing things. But he wasn't. He felt his optics widened in shock and surprise at what he was seeing.

"This is not possible..." He whispered as he saw that in her sample was her human blood but when he looked closer it was coated in half by energon!

But how?! Humans and Energon don't mix together! Just how exactly can Emily doesn't feel any of the symptoms of the effects of the energon? He racked his CPU as to how before a certain memory flashed through his mind.

Flashback starts;

"My daughter will be the bridge between Earth and Cybertron. Only she can bring our world's together, Ratchet." The voice of someone long ago told him.

"But, sir, are you certain that she's the key to bring forever peace to Cybertron?" A young Autobot version of Ratchet asks with uncertainty.

"I'm certain, Ratchet."

Explosions were everywhere as Ratchet protected someone who was carrying a crying Sparkling in his arms.

"Sir, we need to take her somewhere safe!"

"I feared that this would happen, Ratchet. I must do something that any parent fears the most." He walked to an escaped pod and typed in the coordinates to the planet known as Earth.

"I must send her away for her own protection from the Decepticons. Ratchet, if you're able to find her, protect her with your friends. No matter what."

Flashback ends;

Ratchet let out a shaky breath as he finally realized who Emily was but she won't be able to take this lightly. He'll have to tell Optimus about what he found out about Emily as he looked at the picture of her as he was making a medical record about her with a solemn look.

"After so many eons, I finally found you, Daughter of Alpha Trion."
