It has been an hour since Frost went Preda. The bots were still trying to survive. Every time a bridge would appear, Frost would knock the bots away before they could even reach it. Frost at one point had grabbed Wheeljack in between her jaws. He got free, but ended up with energon running down his sides. Bee had an injured servo, it being covered in energon. Arcee's left arm was almost torn off and Bulk had cuts all over him. Arcee stood as far away as possible, but Frost would still come after her. Arcee was an easy target, with how small she was. Optimus would jump in the way every time Frost would go after the bots. He already had an injured leg, and with every limp he would wrestle her. Nightstar had been stuck at base with Ratchet. The two had been fighting with each other. After a moment they got a comm from Optimus. "::Mechs down! Wheeljack is unable to move and Bumblebee is unconscious!::" "::Scrap! What are we supposed to do?!::" Static suddenly came from the other end. Ratchet growled. "Great!" Nightstar paced around the room. It was obvious she was limping, but only cause she was feeling the pain that her father felt.

The only bots left standing were Bulk, Optimus, and Frost. Optimus had a slash on the side of his helm, making one optic hard to see through. The slash had also destroyed his comm device, and his ability to hear from that side. "Optimus, there is no way we will be able to defeat her!" Bulkhead said. Optimus sighed. "I am afraid not, Bulkhead." Frost started towards Bulk when a loud boom was heard. Everyone looked up to see Soundwave, who had broken the sound barrier. He came down and transformed, landing in between the bots and Frost. Sounds turned to Frost, staring up at her through his mask.

Frost growled down at him. She crouched down, ready to pounce on him. "Frost." A voice said. Bulk looked around, not knowing where the voice had come from. Frost relaxed slightly, for she had been tense. "Come, sister." The voice said again. Bulk's optics widened, realizing where the voice was coming from. Frost crept towards him slowly. Soundwave opened his arms. Frost let him hug her. He gently pet her helm. "Come with me, Frostbite. Transform back." he said. Frost moved from him and growled. She turned her helm to where Smokescreen was unconscious. "He angered you. Am I correct?" Frost only growled again. "What for?" She looked down. "I see..." He took off his mask to reveal his scarred face. His soft blue eyes showed emotion in them. "It's alright. You know he's wrong. You can't let him get to you." he said. Frost laid down, her helm resting on her paws. Soundwave sat beside her.

An hour later, Ratchet had finally gotten everyone back into the base. Soundwave was there with Frost. She was still in her Preda mode, but now that Soundwave was there, she was able to control herself. She would still growl every time she caught a glimpse of Smokey, but Soundwave got her to forgive the young racer. Optimus was permanently deaf on his injured side, and had now been left with scars. He was fine though. everyone else was currently being taken care of. Arcee was able to keep her arm attached, thanks to Ratchet. Bulk had surprisingly been in good shape. Bee, who came close to losing his servo, was in good condition. Smokey had gotten a miner concussion was otherwise good.

"Soundwave." Optimus started as he walked over. Soundwave looked at him. "Why did you come?" Soundwave smiled. "Nightstar called for me. She told me where you guys were." Optimus smiled. "Well, she made a good decision. And I am glad you came." Soundwave grinned. "You wouldn't have been around if I did." Optimus chuckled. They hugged, only to be nudged by Frost. Both mech chuckled, including Frost in the hug. She purred, smiling brightly. Arcee then came over, her left arm in a sling. "Hey," she said. The bots nodded to her. Arcee smiled. "How much longer will Frost be Preda?" she asked. "Three days." both mechs replied.

It's been two days now. Soundwave had stayed, making sure Frost was herself till she could transform to bot mode. Everyone was up and on their peds now, though Smokescreen was not aloud to transform till he had fully healed, which would be a few weeks from now. "But I wanna go! I'm too cramped in here!" he complained. "Don't make me make that concussion of yours worse!" Ratchet yelled. Smokey retreated to the halls. Optimus shook his head.

After a moment he looked towards the entrance of the base as Wheeljack drove in, the kids pilling out of him. "Why is Soundwave here? And why is there a Predacon here?" Raf asked. "This predacon is my sister. And I am here to keep her in control." The kids' eyes widened. "You can speak!" Miko shouted. Soundwave chuckled. "You don't seem to be the same Soundwave we know. Why is that?" Raf asked. "The Soundwave you know isn't the real one. I actually became a con to protect someone." "Who are you protecting?" Soundwave glanced at Frost. She perked up after a moment. "Indeed sister. She is alive."
