The next day Knock Out's condition hadn't improve his body had been fixed but he was still really sick from the Synth-En. And still had to be restrained and kept in stasis.

Ratchet was at his wits end trying to find a way to help the red transformer. And Arcee and Starscream still hadn't left his side.

Meanwhile Blake, Shayna and Metalhawk were getting to know all the Autobots and Denny and Russell. Awhile later Shayna went to town to get them all something to eat.

While walking down a sidewalk she head footsteps behind her but before she could respond someone hit her from behind and knock her out could.

Shayna came to in the back seat of a van. Then some men force her out of it and into a tall building Shayna didn't struggle seeing they had weapon and looked like government agent's and would most likely be ready to subdue her if she tried to run.

Even though she saw they were in a big city she knew if she tried to escape and failed anyone seeing it would think those men were law enforcement and that she was a fleeing felon.

If she wanted to escape from these guys she needed a plan.

As she was being lead inside the building she made a mental note of where the exit was located and continued to scan her surroundings and take noticed of anything she could use against her captors and was forming an escape plan in her mind.

After a short elevator ride they brought her to an office room. Shayna had paid attention to which buttons they press and what floor they had gone to.

Once taken inside the office room Shayna continued to take note of her surroundings. The room she was in remind her of a school's principle's office. "And I'm not even a student." She thought fighting the urge to chuckle at her own joke and still remembering how serious her situation was.

There was a blond women already seated at the desk. "Leave us." She told the men who had brought Shayna in and they obeyed. "Sorry about that I've been telling them to use gentler methods."

"I'm Director Swan leader of a government organization call Order of Gray." Director Swan introduced herself to Shayna. "You see we hunt the giant alien robots called cybertronians also known as transformers their two faction the Autobots and Decepticons pose a threat to this planet they can't stop fighting each other and Earth keeps getting caught in the middle."

"You don't say?" Said Shayna trying to play dumb and act like this was all news to her.

"I know you've met some of them and helped them destroy our base in the Amazon." Director Swan told her showing her footage from a camera that had caught her and Starscream outside their base and everything that had gone down. "Don't worry I just want to talk to you about them you see it's only the Decepticons we hunt."

"So that's why you had your guys knock me out and bring me here because you just wanted to have a chat with me?" Shayna said to her.

"You see the Autobots say they were the good guys in their war and the Decepticons were no doubt the vilens but Earth had no stake in it humanity is the gray between their black and white and I'll do whatever it takes to make sure we don't pay the price for their war." Director Swan told her. "Now how about a drink while we talk?"

"I don't drink." Said Shayna knowing Director Swan was planning to get her drunk so she'd tell her what she knew about the transformers like their location. "And that one your group caught was an Autobot not a Decepticon."

"Sorry it had no shield we couldn't tell witch side it was on and it had red optics so we just assumed it was a Con." Director Swan lied.

"Knock Out is a he not an it and your little group almost killed him." Shayna scolded. "And we could all see that his shield was covered up probably by you." "What your doing to them is wrong neither side deserves to be treated like that."

"Look like I'll have to resort to truth serum." Director Swan hissed as she took out a syringe. Then started to approach Shayna who was actually ready and expecting her to try something like that and kicked Director Swan in the side of the leg making her fall to the floor then Shayna bolted out the door before Swan could process what just happened.

But several men started chasing Shayna down the halls and she ended up shoving a snack cart at some of them. And continued to run. she knew the elevator wasn't an option so started to take the stairs only to hear some men coming up them so she went up stairs instead of down to avoid them. But how would she get out?

Shayna made it to the roof of the building but they weren't far behind her then one of them actually started shooting at her. She was dodging and ducking trying desperately not to get shot.

And in one effort ended up falling over the side off the building she close her eyes thinking this was it. But the impact never came and she felt something catch her then heard the sound of a cybertronian transforming and opened her eyes and saw that she was inside Starscream's jet mode. Then sighed in relief knowing she was safe.

"Shayna are you alright?" The seeker asked.

"Yes I'm alright and almost dead those men just tried to waste me." She told him.

Then Starscream suddenly flew his jet mode to the top of the building where the men were and aloud his alt mode to hover right above them.

"This is for shooting at my friend and if you ever try to harm her again I will kill you." Starscream said to the men right before flying off in a way that made them feel his turbulence blowing several of them on to their backs and making a few landed on their buts. As he then flew into a ground bridge with Shayna and they went back to the scrapyard. Shayna couldn't help but chuckle knowing at least some of those men must have wet themselves.

After they where back in the scrapyard the rest of the team greeted Shayna happy she was safe. And explained they had gotten worried when she didn't come back and had found her by using the GPS on her phone that Order of Gray hadn't thought to take from her upon grabbing her.

Then she explained to them all what had happened and told them about Director Swan and Order of Gray.

Then Ratchet called someone and opened a ground bridge and out walked Agent Fowler along with the humans who had worked with the Autobots during their first time on Earth Jack, Miko, and Raf and Jack's mom was also with them and she and Agent Fowler were wearing wedding rings.

Bumblebee, Arcee and Bulkhead were glad to see their human friends again and they introduced them to the rest of the team and Denny, Russell, Blake and Shayna.

Then explained to them that Starscream and Knock Out had switched sides and told them about Order of Gray and how they had kidnapped Shayna and what they had done to Knock Out before that and took them to the med bay and showed them what shape the red transformer was in from the Synth-En Order of Gray had given him.

Then Agent Fowler called General Brice and explained everything to him. And General Brice wasn't happy with Director Swan and Order of Gray after hearing about what they did to Knock Out an Autobot. And the others could actually hear him yelling over the phone and it wasn't on specker mode and Agent Fowler almost dropped it a few times then hung up when the call ended.

"He said he's going to have Unit-E arrest Director Swan and all of her men." Agent Fowler explained. "They won't be hurting any of you again." He told the Autobots and apologized to them on behalf of Unit-E for letting them do that.

A little while later Agent Fowler's phone range again and he answered it and spoke to someone then didn't look happy.

"What is it Agent Fowler?" Asked Optimus Prime.

"That was the team I sent to arrest Director Swan and Order of Gray they just informed me they couldn't find them they were long gone before my team got there." Agent Fowler explained.

"So their still at large?" Shayna said joining the conversion.

"Yes and they now know your involved with us Shayna." Optimus explained. "Meaning they most likely know where you live and it would be safer for you to remain at the scrapyard."

"So I can't go back to my home because it might be unsafe." Said Shayna. "I'd be happy to stay and help you guys I really want to help you bring Order of Gray down that Director Swan is beyond insane."

"I'm staying too." Said Blake. "I'm just as involved in this as she is and I want to help you guys too."

"Very well." Optimus told them with a smile. "We will have to see about pairing the two of you with Autobot guardians."

"I'd like Starscream to be my guardian." Shayna told them taking everyone by surprise. "Well he's already saved me twice and we make a pretty good team." She explained.

"I'd be honored." Starscream told her accepting the task having now grown found of his human friend.

"What about you Blake?" Asked Miko. "Who are you gonna partner with?"

"I'm not sure yet I don't know any of the Autobots as well as you guys do is it OK if I spend more time to get to know each of them before I decide?" Asked Blake. "I want to know witch of you I'm most compatible with."

"Take all the time you need." Bumblebee told him as they all went to talk about how to handle the situation with Order of Gray.

Later the Autobots went out to try to help track down Order of Gray while having Ratchet and the humans wait at the scrapyard where it was safe.

They were split up in teams and all being careful knowing how dangerous Order of Gray was and not wanting anyone else to be hurt or captured.

Agent Fowler had gotten the locations of all of Order of Gray's bases from General Brice but each one they checked had been cleaned out.

Arcee, Bumblebee and Starscream were checking one of the bases and Bumblebee noticed Arcee seemed agitated and wanted to find out why and Starscream explained that she was worried about Knock Out because she still felt bad about what she said to the red medic and wanted to catch Order of Gray so she could get back and make sure he was going to be OK. Because she hadn't gotten a chance to make up with him yet.

And Bumblebee felt bad for her and so did Starscream because Starscream was just as worried about the Austin Martin as she was.

Starscream didn't tell Bumblebee but he secretly blamed himself for what happened to Knock Out because he kept thinking if only he'd gone looking for him sooner or gotten to him before he'd been sent through the space bridge the cherry colored mech might not be in that condition. He wanted to stop Order of Gray and make sure they didn't hurt anymore of his friends the way they had Knock Out.

Then Starscream and Bumblebee left the base with Arcee after not finding anything and went to check the next location. But unbeknownst to them they had been over heared and none of them saw a pair of purple optics watch them go.

The owner of the optics smiled having followed them and spyed on them for a while and had heard enough to know the location of the scrapyard and that it wasn't far from there.

"Perfect." Hissed Arachnid now knowing the perfect way to get at Arcee. Arachnid had spent a while on one of Cybertron's moons Lunar 1 with her Insecticon hive before she had been found by the Star Seekers and after she had tried to drain his energon their leader Thundertron had introduced her to their new allie who had agreed to help them destroy Cybertron in exchange for them bringing her something the Autobots had lock away.

And after meeting their allie Arachnid had also agreed to help them as long as she got to kill Arcee and make her suffer as much as possible before doing it. And the Star Seeker's Allie had even cured Arachnid form being a Terrorcon and sent her to scout the planet after learning some of the Autobots were on Earth.

Now not only had Arachnid figure out where the Autobots were staying but she had found Arcee and now knew a way to hurt her.

To Be Continued.

Arachnid is planning something. This can't be good.
