Alright, now let's take this story in the middle of nowhere in Nevada, the Autobots hid at a place where Lockdown can't track down their life signals, it was night time as they were resting near a warm fire...

Drift was sitting with his legs crossed, meditating, he only wanted only silence until Hound had rudely interrupted him a smack on the back of his head.

"What the hell do you want Hound?" Drift muttered angrily.

"Just want to say hello," he replied.

"Well, if you don't mind, I'm trying to meditate in peace," Drift had closed his optics again.

"I was still talking to you!" Hound slapped him on the back hard which eventually made him pissed off.

"That's it Hound, I had quite enough!" He almost punched him hard on the face, Bumblebee didn't like it, he wanted to break the two of the angry bots up from fighting each other, Crosshairs told him not to.

Bumblebee shoved him off and he pushed Crosshairs back who also got even pissed off more than Hound. Suddenly, all the Autobots got into a big fight.

In unison, they all heard a loud gunshot in the expansion of the desert, it was Optimus holding his gun up in the air who looked very angry, by the looks of it on his face plate.

"Enough! Autobots, by of all means, I will never and I mean never, will allow any of my Autobots to harm one another, do I make myself clear?" Optimus said sternly.

Everybody stood there not saying a response to what Optimus just said until they heard another gunshot from his gun, twice...

"Do I make myself clear?" He said more sternly than ever.

"Yes Optimus," they all said.

"Good... before we get into anything that I need to say that should be important, Crosshairs, have you detected Lockdown or the Cemetery Wind?" Optimus ordered.

"None at all sir," Crosshairs replied.

Optimus had wave of relief. Ever since after the Chicago war, the humans had turned against them later, he and the Autobots that he only knew were almost interrogated except for him and the survivors. He felt like he would never trust any other human again.

"Good, now I have something important to share with all of you, since we can no longer afford any more of us to be sacrificed, I'm certain that we will need a new team member, a femme team member," Optimus said, the rest of them looked at him like they have just no idea what they had just heard.

"By the All-Spark, Optimus, there couldn't be more femmes on Earth, here, most of them that we knew are gone, how do you know of there is anymore femmes left that are Autobots of Deception?" Bumblebee asked.

"I'm afraid that we all have to take our chances, we cannot afford to give up now and be sacrificed, by of all means, Autobots! Roll out!" Optimus had kinda sheepishly smirked when he said those three words.

An 1 hour later in the evening, close to midnight...

The Autobots have been driving on the road for quite some time. Some of them were not certain that there could possibly be another Cybertronian femme left. Optimus had not wanted to give up now, he wanted to keep forward until they would find one.

"Optimus, if we don't find one soon enough, don't you think there is no more femmes?" Crosshairs asked.

"I yet do not disagree, but if we do, then there might be one way to end this conflict from Lockdown," Optimus replied.

Hound had heard something coming behind him. It sounded like a car engine, he check his rear view mirrors and saw a turquoise ProCar Hommage with guns on the each side of it's doors.

"Optimus, check your rear view mirrors, I'm pretty that a car behind us is not a civilian driver, it looks Cybertronian," Hound said on the radio.

Optimus did what Hound told him to do (A/N: Even though Hound is not the leader, he asking Optimus to check his rear view mirrors to see that Cybertronian car behind them.)

"You are right Hound, stay in your position if this Cybertronian is not hostile," Optimus ordered.

Crosshairs had heard the gun firing up which meant the Cybertronian was getting ready to shoot. Shoot the Autobots.

"That can't be good...." Bumblebee muttered.

The Cybertronian car had started blasting and firing at the Autobots and tried to stay on the road, but swerved their tires and screeching.

"Autobots, transform and stay behind me!" Optimus had transformed into his bi pedal form, while the other did too.

The turquoise Cybertronian had also transformed into its bi pedal mode, with its battle mask on and has two swords out.

Optimus couldn't make out whether or not that Cybertronian was a femme or mech.

"I haven't got all day, I've been hunting," it sounded like... a femme, a surprise to Optimus! If he could get that femme to stop targeting them, maybe he would have a chance to recruit her!

"Hold your fire," Optimus said as he put his gun on the ground.

"Look, whoever is in charge here, step right up or all of you will dead metal," the Cybertronian femme snarled.

Silence...

"Speak your designation... immediately!" She quickly ordered.

"My name is Optimus Prime, and we are Autobots, we are being hunted by the one named Lockdown, and I only ask for your help," Optimus pleaded calmly.

The femme had seemed tempted for a moment and she lowered her swords down a bit and looked at the Prime who she didn't even know, is asking for her help.

"Go on, Optimus Prime," the femme raised an optic ridge.

"We only ask if you would be able to be recruited by me, to stop Lockdown and Cemetery Wind," Optimus replied.

The femme had put her swords away, but she left her battle mask on as she continued talking with the Prime.

"Join the Autobots? I don't play well with others, forget it," she scoffed.

"Cause if you don't, maybe Lockdown will get to us before we attack his ship," Hound said and he took a puff of his cigar.

"Alright, you got a point, okay Prime, I'll like to be recruited by you, only because I'm after Lockdown and he's after me since I'm a knight," she said.

"You... are?" Optimus asked.

"Of course, I'm not lying," he shrugged her shoulders.

"What is your designation, femme?" Optimus asked politely to her.

"I go by the name Eclipse," she answers.

"Eclipse, it's a name for a knight," Drift said.

"Exactly," she replied.

Back at their hiding spot but also including the new recruit, Eclipse, who is now the only femme in the Autobot ranks.

Eclipse's P.O.V:

"Well, what do we now peeps?" I asked, but they looked at me like they've seen a ghost, what humans call it.

Silence...

"What? It's a metaphor for what humans say," I said.

"I knew that was coming..." Crosshairs muttered not realizing that I can heard him loud and clear.

"Uhh.. hello! I can hear greenie," I sneered.

"Sorry femme," Crosshairs apologized but he didn't use my name. Argh! It just makes me so goddamn angry when others don't use my real name.

"It's not femme, Eclipse, E.C.L.I.P.S.E," I spelled out.

"Okay, okay, you make your point," Crosshairs said.

"Thank you," I said quietly.

The Autobots have been talking through most of the night, until most of them fell asleep except for Eclipse who was laying on top of a rock cliff and she didn't know who else was awake until she heard a gun reload...

I crawled on my knees and saw Optimus reloading his gun, I slightly cracked a rock and it fell down near Optimus and he lifted his head up to see me.

"Dammit! How could hear that? It was a little noise, ohh... that's right.

"What you doing?" I asked.

"Reloading my weapon, are you supposed to sleep?" Optimus asked with a stern expression on his face.

"I don't sleep, you don't look like you get any sleep, do you?" I asked.

"No, but we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow," Optimus replied.

"Okay, goodnight Optimus," I went back to my laying spot and looked at the stars.
