Things seemed to be normal until was heard that Bulkhead went Russia to defeat Breakdown. 'Figures.' thought Elena. By how it looks to her, that almost every Bot has someone they wish to deal with. Arcee has Airachnid, Bulkhead has Breakdown. Well, Optimus has Megatron, but only because he knows him well and he knows to control his emotions. So, he is a different case. Luckily she doesn't have anything like that. Well, actually she does... The M.E.C.H.

She never forgets what M.E.C.H. did. But there is no reason to go on to them. She is Star now. Even though she misses her father, he would understand. He wouldn't want her to become a killer like they are. Elena has for some reason visit his grave recently. But she hasn't told it to anyone.

She came back to reality when others came back with Bulkhead. He sure got beat up. Ratchet was helping him while Optimus told it was stupid to go alone. Bulkhead said he could have taken Breakdown. Elena rolled her eyes. 'That's what they all say.' she thought while taking a sip of her tea. But then he told that when he woke up, Breakdown was gone. He thought others came, but they didn't. Then he told that he heard a helicopter and thought it was agent Fowler, but he wasn't because he just came to in. But he had a good idea who it was. Elena stood quietly. She was fearing the answer, while Bulkhead told the location.

It turns out to be twenty years old abandoned city, because of the volcano. And by recently there was discovered M.E.C.H. activity.

"M.E.C.H? You mean those Techy guys?" asked Miko. Right, then something went broke. Everyone look where it came from. It was Elena who broke her cup by one hand.

"M.E.C.H?" she asked.

"The very ones who know our existence on your planet," said Ratchet.

Elena didn't care what others think. She knows what they are after. A new technology. And the newest technology is in them. The cybertronian biology. One thing, she swear, when she founds M.E.C.H. she will make sure they won't get what they want. And even if Breakdown is Decepticon, they can't let them have all the information by him. So, how ironic it will be, they have to save him. Elena used her holo-projector to change her outfit and change her look because Optimus has told her to.

Elena came forward to others when Optimus have told they can't let M.E.C.H. get their hand in Cybertronian biology.

"I'll come too," she said. Everyone looked at her.

"Wow! What happened to that 'Revenge won't solve anything' talk?" asked Miko.

"Who said anything about revenge?" asked Elena. "I know what they can do? And I promised myself, I won't let them have what they're after. And in this case the Cybertronian biology. Your biology." she said and point up the Autobots. "They killed my father, but I won't let them take you."

Everyone looked on Optimus. In the end, he decides. He didn't like the idea her to coming with them. He knows she tries to control her emotion, but the encounter with M.E.C.H. could wake something that has been buried. He sighs.

"Very well. You may come," said Optimus. "But you won't move from your place."

"From your shoulder?" asked Elena, since that was her place. Optimus didn't reply if not picked her up and placed her on his shoulder.

"And I mean it," he said to her. In that, she didn't reply.

Bulkhead didn't want to come because it's about Breakdown. Optimus agreed that would best if Bulkhead stays, knowing the history of him and Breakdown. So, they left with Ratchet, because there might be needed medic then another warrior.

"But why Elena then can go?" asked Miko.

"I'm already promised not moved from my place," said Elena. "Silver, Take over the Star Computer." Silver nods and goes.

"Autobots, Roll out!"

And they went through the ground bridge.

Once they get there, everything was quiet and deserted. Bumblebee found car tracks, but Ratchet picks the energon signal. But that only means that Breakdown's energon has been spilled.

"He could be alive, though," said Elena. "They could have tortured him, in which his energon got spilled. Believe me, it even happens between us humans too."

"I think you should have left that untold," said Arcee.

They keep following the signal until they came to the old fountain. But there was nothing, except an optic.

"Breakdown's eye," said Ratchet.

"Oh my god..." said Elena and tried to hold her vomit. As you know she doesn't like organs out of the body. And there was one now. She had to look away.

Then Ratchet picked the eye to check its last view.

"What are you doing?" asked Arcee. Elena looked what was next move.

"The optic receptors might maintain final images in the scene," said Ratchet.

And it did. In M.E.C.H.'s hideout.

"Well, what you know weird science wins again," said Arcee.

"More like mad science to me," said Elena.

But then when view went off, it came back, but in a different point of view. Breakdown was been cut and everything or someone was watching.

"Silas..." said Elena. She didn't care how they manage to change the view of the optics or how he knew Optimus. One thing that mattered was to stop them. But what he meant by staying on the ground? Elena then spots something red in the sewer.

"Optimus!" she said and point the sewer.

"It's a trap," said Optimus.

"Will this be 'roll out' kind of trap?" asked Arcee.

"Evacuate now!" ordered Optimus. But while they run out Elena climb on Optimus' shoulder and pick the eye.

"Elena!" yelled Ratchet.

"Bite dust, Silas!" yelled Elena while throwing the eye into the area where the bomb was. They manage to transform and get out, before the explosion. it was so close.

"So, any idea where they are keeping the rest of Breakdown?" asked Arcee.

"It's could be an old tunnel for a railway," said Elena and picked up the arm pad.

"How you know?" asked Ratchet.

"One thing I learned about the detective series. In the video chat, there's always something that reveals something about its location," said Elena and showed one scene of the video. Then she zoomed in one point and clear it. There was a small view of tracks. "Told ya."

"Great. Where we could find it?" said Arcee. "It could be anywhere."

Then they got a message from Bulkhead. He asked them to come to his coordinates and that he needs backup.

"Do I even want to know, why he is here," said Elena.

"We better move on," said Ratchet.

"Let's go," said Optimus and they transformed to Bulkhead's coordinates. "Elena," said Optimus to her. "You do realize what you just did back there."

"I know. I promised not move from my place. And he did make me bit mad, but by throwing that optic, he didn't get to see did we survived, in which he thinks we didn't make it and that could have given us the moment of surprise. And..."

"And you revealed yourself to him," said Optimus. Elena remains quiet on that. That was a good point. They probably had thought she was dead, but now that moment of surprise was lost.

Soon they got there, but so did Starscream and some of the vehicons. They transformed back and started shooting. Seeing them, Starscream and Cons retreated. Optimus once more told Bulkhead that it was foolish to go alone, but he was proud that he did save Breakdown and surpass himself. Bulkhead was glad he won the rematch.

"I'm sure Miko would be proud," said Arcee.

"Yeah. She probably wants to hear everything about it," said Elena.

"(You seem to surpass yourself too.)" beep Bumblebee.

"What you mean?" asked Elena.

"(You actually hold the optic and throw it away.)"

After realizing that, Elena looked to become green.

"I think you shouldn't have said it," said Arcee.

Optimus let Elena down on the ground where she went somewhere to throw up. Who knew, when she was mad she forgot her disgust on organs. Well, the good thing was it's just the tea she had drunk.

Somewhere in M.E.C.H. hideout. Silas was on his computer. Even if the test subject escaped they manage to get some important data to their project. While he looked at Picture of Optimus he zoomed on his right shoulder and clear it showing Elena. And after analyzing her face in ID database came to match in one. Elena Rodriquez, but in dead list.

"So, even the dead can rise..." he thought while looked the files and picture.
