General POV

As the sun rises, Amirul and Starise continued their journey until they found themselves in a town market. The problem is that they were being stared at by the people there for their peculiar clothes, especially Starise who is wearing a hijab. Not to mention Amirul who had short hair instead of long hair.

While they walked along the streets, Starise looked at this one stall that sells accessories and wants to take a look but she thought it will a waste of time and money for the two of them.

Amirul then looked at his sister, staring at the stall, and can't help but sighed. "Hey, Star. How 'bout we take look around? I'll buy some snacks while looking for some useful things for our journey. I'm sure that you want to take a look at those accessories, how's that sounds?" he asked her.

She looked at him and nodded. "Okay, I'll see you around 5 minutes." And quickly went to the stall while Amirul continued walking.

"Ah, welcome Young Miss! How can I help you?" asked the stall owner. Starise smiled at her and looked at the accessories that lay on the table. 'There's a lot to choose from,' she thought and picked up some accessories that she had laid her eyes on. Starise looked at the accessory that was in her hand and examined them.

Suddenly, a large shadow towers over her, and Starise turned around, only to see three, middle-aged men looking at her with lustful eyes and red faces. 'This smell... They're drunk, alright,' she frowned when she scented that strong smell of alcohol from one of the men.

The stall owner stepped back in fear of the three drunk men, hoping that they didn't destroy her stall while praying for Starise's safety.

"Is there something wrong, gentlemen? Do you need anything?" Starise calmly asked them and she was grabbed by her wrist. "Why yes of course, how 'bout you come with us, pretty little girl? Don't worry, we won't bite~" One of them said smugly while the other two grinned lecherously at Starise who frowned and tried to let her wrist free from the man's grasp. The commotion creates attention to the crowd, causing them to look at the scene.

"I'm sorry sir but I have to go now, so please let me go," she said with ease, making them glare at her. "We will treat you nicely!" He persists but that didn't convince Starise. The crowd looked at the scene, especially towards Starise with 'amazing' looking in their eyes. They were curious as to why she wasn't afraid of those drunk men and quickly made bets on who will win.

Starise was angry that people just watched her being harassed and knew that she has to do something before things get ugly. Suddenly, she felt a grope on her lower waist and that was her last straw. She roundhouse kicked him, making the man fall to the ground yelling in pain.

(Warning: Curse words up ahead!!)

"You b**ch!" She heard one of them shout and swiftly grabbed her balisong knife, and stabbed it on the ground, near the man's crotch. The other two looked at her with fear and started running away, leaving their friend.

"I said that I have to go but you didn't let me so I have no choice but to do that. Have you no shame of yourself for harassing a girl in public?" Said Starise with her face darkened, staring at the paled man like a predator looking at its prey.

This makes the whole crowd gasp in shock and fear at Starise's action. Then, they heard a clapping sound from behind and turned around, only to see a teenage boy who wears odd black and red garments smiling at Starise.

"Wow! Not bad, sis! I knew that you could do it!" Amirul cheered at her and walked toward her. "Amirul..." She looked at her brother who was glaring at the man on the ground.

"Sorry for leaving you, Star. I thought that you couldn't handle that earlier but I was wrong. You really can do it!" Amirul smiled. He turned his head to the man and bowed. "I'm so sorry for my sister's actions towards you and I hope that you can forgive her." Amirul apologized to the man with a 'sincere' look on his face.

The man looked at Amirul with shock and a bit of relief look on his face. But then, Amirul bent down to the man's height and leaned close to his face with a darkened expression. "The truth is, I won't forgive you for what you did to my sister. Do you really think that you can get away just like that? For me, it's a big no. I will not hesitate to slit your throat and burn your corpse to ashes." He whispered to the paled man before he ran away, screaming in fear. Amirul picked up Starise's balisong knife and stood up, looking at the crowd from before.

"Alright, people! The show's over! There's nothing much to see here!' Amirul said to the crowd.

After that, he gave back the knife to her. "Well, that happens quicker than I thought it would. Anyways, I got what we need. What about you? Did you buy anything?" He asked. Starise shooked her head as an indication she didn't buy anything at all. "Um, excuse me Young Miss and Young Master?"

They turned around and saw the stall owner walking towards them, relieved that Starise is okay. "Oh thank goodness that you are fine! I'm very sorry for not defending you." She apologizes to Starise with tears staining her cheeks. Starise smiled and insured the owner that she was fine. "Ah! Here, please accept this as an apology and thank you." She handed Starise a beautifully crafted jade hairpin. Starise looked at the hairpin with an astonished look and smiled. "Thank you for giving this to me. I love it." The owner smiled back and went back to her stall.

"Well, we got what we want so let's go!!" Amirul said and walked away with Starise behind him but little that they knew, a group of people dressed in white clothes and a forehead ribbon with cloud patterns looked at them with amazed and scared looks on their faces. "That was so intense. I wonder if we can meet them again. Don't you think so?" A boy asked his friend.

His friend looked at him and nodded in agreement. "Who knows? Maybe fate has plans for us soon."

Amirul's POV

After the incident back at the market, we continued our journey until we heard a loud noise ahead of us. I looked at Starise and she started running towards the noise, leaving me behind like she always does. I sighed and started following her. The noise started getting louder and louder (which I don't like at all) as we were almost close to it.

'I wonder what's going on.' I thought and my question had been answered as I saw three people at a shack.

One of them was on the ground, being kicked by a fat guy and another person behind him. I frowned at the scene and felt pity for the boy who was on the ground. "Stop playing dead!" shouted the fat one with anger in his voice. I looked at Starise and she clenched her fist, gritting her teeth in disgust and anger.

"Whose land do you think you're living on? Whose rice are you eating? Whose money are you spending? What's wrong with taking a few of your belongings? Everything you own should be mine, anyway!" The fat guy shouted with his adolescent, duck-like voice. "How dare you tell Father and Mother? Did you think that anybody in this house is going to listen to you? You really thought I was scared of you!" He continues while kicking the boy on the ground as he realizes his anger towards him.

Judging by the situation, I would assume that Fatty is a spoiled brat, coming from a rich family, and talk about that temper though, I thought. Behind him must be his servant but what I don't understand is what is he talking about.

"Young Master! Everything is smashed!" 'Thought so.'

"How did you finish it this quickly?" The young master asked.

The servant replied, "There's nothing much inside this shack anyways."

We stood there for a long time, just hearing these awful words coming from his mouth and that's when these words snapped us.

"You dare to tell on me, and now look at you, playing dead on the ground! For whom? As if anyone actually wants this pile of junk! Now that I've smashed everything, let's see how you're gonna tell on me in the future! Are you proud of yourself just because you've studied cultivation for a few years? well, how does it feel when you've been kicked out like a stray dog?! I'm asking you a question, MO XUANYU!!" He shouted and suddenly he felt pain in his left shoulder.

"Eh?" I looked to my left and was shocked, only to see that Starise is nowhere near me. I looked back at them and there's Starise in all her glory, gripping Fatty's big shoulders from behind. 'Oi, Starise! What did you do?? You're gonna get ourselves into trouble!!'

Well, basically I'm the one who always gets into trouble but for some reason, if anything happens that is human immoral, Starise will be the one who gets us in trouble.

The Fatty turned around and saw Starise tightly gripping his shoulder until you can hear a cracking sound. "W..Who are you? Let me go!!" He shouted in pain. The servant and Mo Xuanyu are shocked to see a girl who can grip the Young Master with ease. Snapping into the reality, the servant shouted, "Hey! Let go of Young Master Mo immediately!" But she wouldn't budge.

Mo Xuanyu whose on the ground looked at Starise with question and wonder. And that's where I came in.

"You know what you did, that's not nice at all. Have you ever wondered what's it like if you were in his shoes? It must've been hurt." I said sarcastically to him. Fatty scowled at me and Starise, "How dare you! Do you even know who I am?!!"

"No, we don't. Please enlighten us." I said and Starise released her grip as she helped the boy up. "You-" Fatty marched over, red in the face from anger, and went to take a swing at Mo Xuanyu who was behind Starise. 'What an annoying brat,' I thought.

I punched Fatty on his stomach and made him fly a few meters away from the three of us. And also I swear that I just heard a crack coming from Fatty as I care anyways. "Young Master Mo!!" The servant yelled at his 'Young Master' and frantically ran towards him, Fatty stood up with the help of his servant, clutching his stomach in pain.

He looked at me and shouted, "How dare you!!! You're gonna pay for what you did!!"

"Oh really?? That's so scary. Wait, that wasn't so scary at all, and like I care about that. You're the one who should be scared and I suggest that you should leave him alone, Fatty." I said to him and boy he's about to explode. "WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!!?? I'M NOT FATTY!! MY NAME IS MO ZIYUAN AND I'M THE HEIR OF THE MO FAMILY!! AND WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH THAT WORTHLESS COUSIN OF MINE??!!" He's screaming like a brat, throwing tantrums and it makes our ears bleed.

"Sorry 'bout that. It's just that I don't know your name, that's all." Roasting people is my specialty after all. I don't feel sorry for the ones that got roasted. They're all bark but no bite. Such cowards won't have my respect.

"Stay away from me, freaks! You two and that cut-sleeve can go die! Disgusting freaks!" The Mo Ziyuan brat keeps ranting at us about how disgusting we are, and to be honest he's the most disgusting creature that has ever been born and lives on this planet, other than the Decepticons. "Worthless disgusting bastard! No one wants you!!" He screamed at Mo Xuanyu, who had been quiet with downcast eyes. Starise and I looked at his expressionless face with worry cast on our faces. 'Why does he have to go all of this?'

Mo Xuanyu's cousin just kept yapping like an angry duck as he is, still throwing insults at us. My eye twitched at the noise and just thought of trying to choke him to death. 'But if I do that, Mom and Sire* would be angry at me. Remember one of the Autobot's codes, NEVER KILL UNLESS IT'S NECESSARY.' I inhaled and exhaled.

Then, a dead silence greeted us and only to see that the brat and his servant were gone. Finally, I have enough of that afthole* anyways. Starise started to do some checkups on Mo Xuanyu as she brought out the Medical Kit from her bag. I helped her out by folding up his long sleeves and I was greeted by scars, lots of them. Some are old and some are new but I didn't care about that as Starise took out an antiseptic and bandages. She also took out the Voice Responsive Medical Tool (VRMT*).

Starise's POV

As I took out the First Aid, I quickly started doing my work with Amirul's help as he laid Mo Xuanyu down on the ground. I picked up my water bottle and poured it on top of Mo Xuanyu's injuries. Mo Xuanyu bit his lower lips as he whimpered in pain when the water touched his skin. After the water cleared all of the stained blood, I poured the Antiseptic on a cotton ball and gently tap the wounds without making him feel pain. I used the VRMT to close and heal the wounds, it also can hide the scars too.

Then, I placed the bandages all over his arms so that they won't bleed anymore. "There, that should do it. I advise that you should not soak your arms in the water for the next 3 days." I said to him. Mo Xuanyu looked at me and Amirul with a questioning look but seemed grateful that someone treated him like a human being, unlike his abusive family.

"Thank you for your kindness. I'll never forget what you did to me." He smiled like he never smiled before.

I nodded. "It's nothing major ya' know. My sister here loves to help people who are in trouble and you're one lucky guy that gets her treatment. Oh yeah! We haven't introduced ourselves to you so how about we get to know each other?" He suggested to us.

"Alright, then! My name is Amirul and that's my sister, Nurain*. Both of us are 16 years old. You can call us Mirul and Ain. What about you?" He smiled. 'That little..' I sighed in defeat while Mo Xuanyu was confused with our names.

"Amirul and Nurain? Such weird names you have, I admit that." He said to us. "I don't know, ask our parents. They're the ones that gave us these names." Said Amirul blankly. "Amirul." I glared at him and he looked away.

"So, what's your name?" I asked him. Mo Xuanyu hesitantly looked down for a bit and he took a deep breath. He then looked at us and confidently said, "M...My name is Mo Xuanyu and I'm 24 years old."

'HE WHAT??!!'

* meaning

1] Sire = Cybertronian term of dad

2] Voice Responsive Medical Tool (VRMT) = It's a device invented by Ratchet as a secondary item for the First Aid

3] Nurain = Starise's human name. Mostly she will use this name when she's outside of Cybertron or doing some undercover missions.

4] Afthole = Cybertronian term of a**hole

After a whole day sitting in front of my laptop, here's the next chapter... Hope you enjoy it!!
