A small human was walking around the woods, carrying her bags with her. She just ran away from her abusive home and wanted to start over with her life. Her name is Iris, a 16 year old Hispanic that soon her life will change completely. She heard yelling a few meters away. She thought it was better to leave it be but her curiousity got the better of her when she got closer to hear them. "|Mirage! You need to calm down!|" The small human followed the noise, her curiousity growing inside her. As she hides behind a tree, she see giant robots all pacing around, some where sitting as others were arguing with each other. "I can't calm down Bee! They just took our leader and his sister! HOW CAN I BE CALM!?!?!?" Bumblebee sighs heavily, as he tries to think of a way to get them out of this trouble. The small human's eyes slowly landed on a mech who was leaning against a tree, talking to another one as well. "You both need to calm down! Fighting isn't going to bring them back!" She continues looking at the bot, who was now arguing with the small yellow one and gray & blue one. "What we need is a plan....." Everyone remained quiet, not knowing a human was watching them. The human tries to walk away, until she steps on a tree branch. She was suddenly grabbed by her waist, as she was lifted on the ground. "No no no no no no..." Iris was now looking at the giant mech from earlier. "|It's just a human UltraMagnus. Let her go....|" UltraMagnus slowly puts the small human girl down, as he tried to shoo her away. "Get going little human, your family is probably waiting for you or something...." He walks away until the small human spoke. "I don't have a family....." Everyone turn their attention to the small human. "|W- what...?|" Arcee slowly walks towards the small human, kneeling. "Weird....." Arcee does a quick scan on the small human, trying to identify her. "Her name is Iris Stone, born around 1978. Her parents...." Arcee pauses as she looks at the small human. "|What else does it say Arcee?|" Arcee hesitates, holding her breath in letting it out, continuing what she was saying. "Her parents died in a car crash, leaving her as an orphan...." Everyone looks at Iris, as she was sitting down, drawing them. "I was adopted but they were abusive so I had to run away....." She pauses for abit before she continues sketching. "......why are you in the middle of the woods tho?" UltraMagnus was sitting next to Arcee, as the others started surrounding the small human. "I was gonna sleep here tonight until I heard you guys." The Autobots all huddle around, except for Bumblebee as he wanted to talk with the small human. "Should we keep her???" Everyone turns to face Arcee, surprised at her comment. "Maybe. She's definitely not going back to that abusive family so I'd say lets keep her." Rachet disagrees. "We don't know how to take care of a human. It's a bad idea with the Decepticons already knowing we're here. They're probably use her against us if they captured her." WheelJack pats his back, as he looks back at the human. "I've seen how humans were being taken care of back in Peru so I sorta know how we can take care of her." UltraMagnus lifted his arm, trying to propose a plan. "How about we do a vote? Bumblebee come here." Bumblebee walks towards them, as UltraMagnus continued. "Raise your hand if we SHOULDN'T keep the human." Rachet raises his hand, still unsure if they can take care of the human. CliffJumper raises his hand as well, not knowing if they should trust the human fully. "2 votes. Raise your hand if we SHOULD keep her." Bumblebee, Arcee, Smokescreen, Mirage, WheelJack, and UltraMagnus all raised their hands in approval. "It's decided, we're temporarily keeping her until then..." Everyone was confused by keeping her temporarily. "|What do you mean UltraMagnus???|" They were all walking around, as Bumblebee was carrying the small human in his shoulder. "When we're able to get Optimus back, he gets to decide if we can keep her." Bumblebee grumbles, as he focuses his attention on the small human. "For now, we need a plan...."

Illusion was thrown into a cell harshly, as 2 decepticons stand in front of her cell. "|Where's your fucking leader? I want to speak to him!!!|" They told her to quiet down as they wait for Megatron. "|I hope the others are doing fine without us....|"

Megatron and StarScream were waiting outside the medical bay, as KnockOut was inspecting Nemesis. "So the dark energon corrupted him KnockOut?" KnockOut nods his head, as he lets Nemesis stand up. "Isn't this just great StarScream? You finally did something that can help us win against the Autobots." StarScream couldn't help but smile under his mask, blushing lightly as he followed Megatron behind him. They soon arrived to the cells, where Illusion was annoying the guards. They noticed Megatron arriving, as they open the cell door. "Hello there Traitor....." Illusion glares at him, trying to peek over his shoulder trying to escape. "|What did you do to my bro- I mean Optimus!?|" Megatron smirks, as StarScream smiled behind him. "You can cut the act Illusion. We know you and Optimus are related to each other." Illusion positions herself to leap at Megatron, as she listens to him quietly. "I have something better planned for you Illusion. Instead of me killing you here right now....." He glares at her, his sadistic smile growing wider. "I'll give Nemesis the honor to kill you in front of the entire Decepticon army. I know well you can't win a fight against your brother...." Illusion's optics widen, as she watches Megatron leave. She glared at him, as she tried to blast him from behind. Before she even fired, she was tackled by StarScream, causing her fire to shoot him in the chest. StarScream falls, grunting in pain as Megatron knocks Illusion out. "Lord Megatron-" "SHUT IT!!!" He grabs StarScream, as he runs towards the Med Bay. He waited patiently, as KnockOut was healing him.

Illusion wakes up in her cell, rubbing her helm. "|Damn it....|"

"|I'm screwed....|"
