Now I can't stay behind

Save me, from wreaking my vengeance

Upon you, too chilling more than I can tell

Burning now I bring you Hell!

Ahh, Ahhh

Oh, burning now I bring you Hell!

Free me tonight, as the animal kings breathe their terror upon you

Caught in the moment, engaging in my

Bloodlust tonight, now I can't control my venom's flow

Get back from me demon, or be exorcised!

Hell - Disturbed

Sierra collapsed on a berth in the Med Bay, her head swimming as she tried hard not to vomit. This gained the attention of Knockout, who rushed over and helped her up.

"Sierra? What is wrong? Do I have to comm Soundwa-"

"No." She shook her head. "Just ate something bad is all." Knockout frowned.

"Food poisoning?" He hummed as he scanned her. She shuddered at the feeling and looked up at the medic. He froze and scanned her again. "Sierra. That's not food poisoning."

"Wh-what is it Doc?" He heard the fear in her voice and turned the scan so she could see the results. Knockout watched as she reached out, fingers brushing along the screen. "Is.... Is that a...?"

"Yes. Sierra, you're-"

"Sierra?" She turned to see Soundwave and the rest of his family. "Sierra: Ill?" They joined her still shocked form.

"Sounds. Turns out I was right. My shirts have been getting too tight." He looked confused before Knockout showed him the scan results. He stilled before promptly collapsing.

"Wow. Haven't seen opi glitch like that since he found out danni was sparked with Beak." Sierra smiled sheepishly as Ravage stared at her. "Wait.... Danni, are you sparked?"

"Yes Ravage. I am." She was shocked as the feline pulled her into a gentle hug.

"Congratulations danni!" Sierra smiled and hugged her back.

"D-danni?" Laserbeak asked as Soundwave began to stir.

"Yes sparklet?"

"Does this mean I'm gonna be a big sister?" Sierra picked her up.

"Uh-huh."

"Yay!" The girl giggled. Sierra kissed her forehead as Soundwave walked over. He hugged Sierra and kissed her quickly. She smiled up at him as his mask slid back into place. His servo rested on her stomach and she could feel an overwhelming sense of happiness and excitement from his side of the bond.

"Soundwave: Loves Sierra." She grinned.

"Love you too Sounds."

Juliet watched Jenny with a wary gaze. The girl- woman, she reminded herself, was walking around with a limp. Though she tried to hide it, Juliet noticed it.

"Jenny!" She called. The winged woman turned and walked to her.

"Hey Jules. Something wrong?" She smiled.

"Just that you're limping." Jenny suddenly blushed a vibrant red. "What happened?"

"I fell during a routine flight and got it caught in a branch." Juliet crossed her arms.

"You're lying." Jenny's blush only deepened. "Jen." Juliet scolded. Jenny looked up with a sheepish smile as Gabriel appeared behind her. He hugged her from behind and kissed her neck.

"You called sugar?"

"Jules wants to know why I'm limping." She whispered. Gabriel blushed a bit as well.

"Oh." Juliet waited for a moment before finally connecting the dots.

"Gabriel I'm gonna kill you!" The archangel moved to leave but Jenny stood between them, her wings blocking her sister's attack.

"Back off!" She snapped. Both stared at the youngest girl in shock. After a few seconds even Jenny looked shocked. "J-Jules! I'm so sorry! I don't know. I just have no clue. Why? Why did I do that?!" She was borderline panicking now and Gabriel grabbed her.

"Jen, easy. Come on. Relax, relax." He whispered. She slowly calmed and leaned against him.

"What was that?" Juliet asked.

"Remember the Praxian heat cycles?" The vampire nodded. "Seekers get them too. And Jenny's just become of age." Gabriel held her tightly.

"Meta didn't do that." Juliet said. "She just kept Dean virtually chained to a bed."

"Seekers, from what I've heard, protect their mates with every fiber of their being." Jenny curled into his chest.

"I didn't mean to." She whispered.

"It's okay Jenjen. We understand." He said. Juliet stole her away for a hug, clinging tightly to her little sibling.

"Don't worry Jen. It's your emotions. They're just going haywire." She simply whimpered and nodded. "Now come on little sis. We have a baby shower to get to." She looked up.

"W-we do?" Juliet nodded.

"Yeah." Jenny blinked as her eyes widened in realization.

"Alice!" She returned to her cheerful self then and grinned. "When?"

"In about two hours. It's why I came to find you." Jenny nodded and gasped.

"I didn't get her a gift!" She frowned. Juliet chuckled.

"I'm sure Gabriel can pick one up for you to take. Right Gabe?" Juliet looked to find that he had already vanished. Juliet turned her attention to Jenny with a grin. "Now that he's gone. You get to answer my questions on if he's treating you right or not." Jenny gulped in fear as Juliet led her from the room.

Metallicar held Crossiron close to her chest, smiling. "You're getting so big already." She chuckled.

"She is." Drift smiled, Mary and Silver resting on his lap. They were playing with small toys, watching Drift. He chuckled and handed Silver a toy he had dropped. "And your sparklings. They are already so smart and brave."

"Danni!" The twins chirped, looking to Metallicar. She chuckled a little.

"They are. I can't say just how proud of them I am." She smiled, glancing to Crossiron as she yawned. "Well, looks like Crossiron's tired."

"Come. Let us get them to sleep." He stood, holding Mary and Silver. Metallicar nodded and stood as well.

"Sounds like a plan. Then we'll go hunt down the others." Drift simply nodded in agreement before leaving the room with Metallicar.

Sierra crossed her arms, looking up at her personal guard. "I told you guys. I'm safe here."

"Princess, we were once ordered to protect you no matter what."

"Yeah. By a Decepticon. We no longer are." She said. "Besides. You really think Sounds is gonna let me go anywhere without him?"

"Well... No, but-"

"Besides. See this as an opportunity to ditch the shells." Both froze.

"R-really?" 4D-4M asked.

"Yeah. So come on." Both hesitated before transforming, their doors opening. Two lithe women in skin-tight suits stepped free.

"Ugh. Those suits are heavy." The younger one groaned.

"Yeah. Tell me about it." The elder stretched.

"Well, well. It appears you were hiding things after all." All three turned to see Jason walk in, Laserbeak hanging from his shoulders. He glanced to the little one and sighed slightly. "Beak. You are not helping my dramatic entrance." She giggled.

"Sorry uncle Jason!" She grinned and he sighed.

"Very well. You can stay."

"Yes!" She cheered, making Sierra and the two women chuckle.

"Now. I thought the author forgot about me. I mean, I haven't really had much page time, now have I?" This confused all but Sierra.

"I'm sure she had her reasons."

"She grounded me because I wouldn't co-operate!" He crossed his arms. "I'm the damn king of hell! Of course I don't co-operate." Sierra rolled her eyes.

"Beak, don't repeat that." She nodded and Sierra looked to him. Jason looked away and sighed.

"You know, I'm pretty sure she did forget about me. She does it a lot."

"Careful Jason. You may upset her." Sierra added.

"Yes, yes. Whatever. Now who are they?"

"My body guards. Elite humans created by a group called MECH. When opi worked with them he managed to convince Silas to allow these two to be my guards." Jason nodded. "Their names are Dia and Dara."

"I see. And I suppose they won't harm anyone."

"Nope." She shook her head.

"Good. Now if you'll excuse me I...." He looked closely at her. "Sierra. No offence to you dear sister. But your shirt is a bit tight."

"I know, I know. I have to go get some more. Or borrow a couple of Alice's." She chuckled and Jason did as well.

"Well Sierra. I don't think it quite requires maternity shirts." He joked and she shrugged.

"Not yet. Here in a couple months it will." He looked confused.

"Sierra, what do you- Oh... Oh! Oh, I'm gonna kill him." Sierra stepped forwards as he turned.

"Jason! We're bonded! What did you expect? We live our lives without that?" He looked to her.

"He got my baby sister pregnant. I'm going to kick his ass." Sierra grabbed Laserbeak as she fell, Jason moving to catch her as well.

"Jason! I wanted this." She whispered lightly. He froze and looked to her. "But I'm terrified." She confessed in a tiny voice. Jason quickly hugged Sierra as Laserbeak slipped free.

"You don't have to be. You'll be an amazing mother." He smiled as she looked up at him. Tears streamed down her face as she shook her head.

"I'm afraid I'll end up like Midday." She cried. Jason hugged her a bit tighter, though careful not to squeeze too tight. After all, he didn't want to hurt his little niece or nephew. He smiled a bit and gently moved the hormonal woman back.

"You won't. Look how good you are with Laserbeak and the two psycho twins. As well as Ravage. They all look up to you as their mother. And you have proven to be a good one so far." She smiled as well now and nodded.

"Thanks Jason. I needed that." He stood, gently helping her with. "Now come on. I need to bother Alice before her party."

Magnus' holoform was pacing nervously back and forth, Hot Rod and Metallicar watching with humored optics. The mech hadn't told him what he was waiting for, only begging that they remain in their vehicle modes until everything could be explained.

"Magnus. Relax." Metallicar said, pushing away from her alt with a wince. "She'll be here soon." He helped her stand and she looked to him gratefully.

"I know. That is why I am so nervous." He confessed. A second later the hangar doors open, Metallicar leaning on Magnus' shoulder in pain. A petite green haired woman walked in with Lennox, a couple small bags in hand and one thrown over her shoulder. Metallicar felt Magnus stiffen and smirked as the woman spoke.

"Thanks again for letting me use that extra storage space at your house for my stuff. I swear it's only temporary." Lennox simply smiled.

"It's no problem. Here. I'll take these to your room." Magnus cleared his throat.

"Major Lennox. I can take those for her." He smiled as Stella set the bags down, rushing over and tackling Magnus. He was so surprised that he fell backwards, slamming into the ground. Metallicar hit the ground a second later, her breath leaving in a loud whoosh.

"Slag that hurts." Stella turned to look with wide eyes.

"Oh no. I'm so sorry. I didn't see you." She looked so guilty that Metallicar had to force a small smile.

"It's okay. I just got out of a bad situation with a few enemies and it left me a little worse for wear." She helped her stand and move to the truck. Stella was shocked at how easy the woman was to carry. It was like she was made of the lightest diamond. Because she could feel the woman's strength as she gently sat beside the vehicle.

"Meta, are you alright?" She nodded in pain and looked to him.

"Yeah. But I'm not going to be able to sustain myself any longer." This time Magnus nodded.

"Very well. Go, see the medic." She nodded as Hot Rod walked over and helped her to her alt.

The entire time Stella stood by, feeling incredibly guilty for having hurt the woman. Magnus placed a hand on her shoulder and she looked to him.

"Meta will be alright. You were not able to see her injuries." She curled into his arms as he hugged her, hearing the Impala leave.

"I still feel awful."

"You do not need to. Now." He took a deep breath. "Stella. You will see things here that may frighten you." She arched one eyebrow.

"Have you met my former boss? Ain't much scarier than him." She chuckled, making Magnus smile slightly.

"You have not met my... family." He said. "Meta was one, yes. But there are others who aren't as civil or calm as her."

"Come on Magnus. I'm sure I'll be fine." He shook his head slightly. "Magnus?"

"Lennox?" He looked to the man. "Permission to show her?"

"Granted. She's going to learn sooner or later." Magnus nodded and looked to her.

"Please. Don't panic." She nodded hesitantly, gasping as Magnus' holoform vanished in a shower of sparks.

"What?" She reeled back as the truck began to shift, parts moving and soon forming a humanoid form. She continued to stare as it settled. It knelt and she backed up further, missing the pain in it's eyes.

"Stella." He spoke and she looked up quickly.

"M-Magnus?" Her voice was small as he nodded. She blinked and took a deep breath. She looked up at him, turned on her heel, and promptly fainted. Lennox chuckled.

"Well." He said. "That went well."

Cliffjumper stood behind a chair in his mass-shifted form, watching Chipper as she hopped around the room with Glitchy and Zasha. He smiled, Bob watching as well from where he sat with Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. For once Rachel was nowhere to be seen. But the red mech pushed that out of his mind, thoughts wandering to a certain bartending demon. He smiled at the thoughts, missing the sound of footsteps behind him.

"Hey, you there Red?" He jolted and looked over, seeing the very object of his thoughts.

"Zach!" He gathered the demon into his arms and swung him around with a grin. "I missed you!"

"I noticed." Zach chuckled. Cliffjumper grinned before bringing Zach down and kissing him. The demon was shocked, to say the least, but he returned the kiss eagerly, hugging the Autobot tightly. They seperated a moment later, Cliffjumper resting his forehead against Zach's. The demon smiled and kissed him quickly, making the mech's spark leap. "Maybe I should get caught up in work more often." He breathed.

"You're not going to be allowed to go back for quite some time yet." He whispered, pulling him into yet another kiss. Once they seperated Zach freed himself, taking Cliffjumper's servo in his hand.

"Screw going slow." He stated before dragging the mech off to his room.

Sunstreaker watched them leave and chuckled. "Well, at least now Cliffjumper won't be so pouty." Sideswipe only burst into laughter as his brother continued to paint.

Metallicar winced as Ratchet worked on soothing a few of the worse burns. As he worked Casidy sat on his shoulder, observing closely what she had missed with human eyes. She looked to Dean, who was sitting on a berth across from Metallicar. Her helm was hung low and she was obviously somewhere between sleep and awareness.

"Alright Meta." Ratchet backed up, startling the femme. In a brief flash her optics changed colors, making Dean freeze. Black shone back at him as the femme blinked. Suddenly a feral grin curled her lips.

"Well shit. Looks like I blew my cover." Dean reeled back as she swung at him. "No matter. My job here's almost done anyways." She turned, slamming her elbow into Ratchet's chassis and making him stumble back as she delivered a hard kick to his helm. He slammed down, pinning Casidy under his shoulder. Metallicar, or rather the demon controlling her, snatched Dean up and threw him in her sparkling hold, blocking all signals as she strolled fro the Med Bay, breaking the keypad as she left. The door slammed shut and the femme walked down the hall, optics blue once more.

She reached the final room, it being the main hangar and stopped. She grabbed the sword as it formed from her doors, grinning wickedly as the others stared at her in confusion.

"Metallicar?" Ironhide asked, stepping forwards. She swung at him and then slammed the blade down and twisted. She grinned at the now open Devil's Trap and sauntered forwards.

"Why don't you all come out and play!" She called, making Jason's gaze turn to her. He drew his sword and pushed Juliet behind him.

"Midday." She smirked.

"In the flesh. Or rather, the metal hide of my darling abomination's best friend. Where is she anyways. I wanted to say hi!" She yelled, swinging the blade at Jason. He sidestepped and threw Midday against the wall, watching as she snapped at him.

"Hey Jason!" He turned seeing a demon woman stroll in, the Spark Extractor in the hands of a Demoncon behind her. "Back off or we use this." Jason snarled but backed away. Midday kicked out, sending him flying backwards as she snarled.

"Pathetic." She spat, walking over to Meg. Jason quickly stood, glaring at Meg as Juliet stood by his side, worried for her sister. Jason wrapped an arm around her, making Midday laugh. "Oh, how sickeningly adorable. The wannabe kind of hell and a vampire!" Midday howled with laughter before doubling over. "Shit!" She snapped.

"Midday?" Meg asked, though not sounding worried in the least.

"She almost broke free. Probably because that damn prick of hers is here." She grabbed Dean and tightened her servo around him. "Oh how easily I could kill you here and now. With the body of your own wife. And why not? We don't need you." She squeezed, making Dean growl in pain.

Midday tightened her grip and Dean screamed. All he saw before he passed out was the momentary flash of silver wings.

(A.N.: Well that chapter sucked. ;-; I'm sorry for taking so long but we're finally getting back into the main story and out of the fillers! Which is a nice way of saying that my muse is working again. ^.^ So I hope you enjoyed! {C.M.})
