Nova opened her eyes and saw a mountain forest. It looked strangely familiar but she didn't pay attention to that much, instead she stood up to see around better but wasn't expecting such a view. Everything looked smaller than it should have and it was then that she heard the sound of heavy footsteps. Turning around she saw Alpha Trion, "A-3?"

"Hello Nova, I see that the key has finally fulfilled its designated purpose." He smiled.

"What purpose?" She asked, cocking her head to one side confused.

"Take a look at yourself."

She looked down at her hands and saw her silver metal servos instead of hands, her arms, likewise, were made of metal, "Wha...?" then she remembered that she transformed into a giant robot. 

Alpha Trion smiled, "The transformation is complete."

"Complete?" Nova asked dumbfounded for a second, "The key! It-it...what it do?"

"It was originally meant to convert organics into Cybertronians, and likewise, though the technology had been lost for some time and I wasn't fully sure if it would work on a technoroganic. It was my parting gift for you before when I didn't realize who you truly are.

"Wait.....you mean my new mode?"

Alpha Trion nodded at her response as she took a breath to collect her thoughts, "So Is that why my body became heavy before?"

"That was only the first major step, sorry about that. I'm afraid it wasn't supposed to be so hard."

She nodded in understanding as she questioned, "So, can I, change back? To a human?"

A-3 nodded, "Once you master how to transform, you should be able to switch forms freely. Unfortunately, you do not share the same transformation as the others when it comes to vehicle mode."

'Huh, bummer....It would be cool to have one.' Nova mentally said to herself.

"Though I would advise trying to keep the knowledge that your the Herald, at least from the Decepticons, Crystal."

"Ok, I can live with that..."

"Are you alright?" A-3 asked, taking a step closer.

"I don't know. I don't know whether to freak out or jump for joy. I mean when you said I'd change I had very little thought that it would be...like this. It's just..."

"A lot to take in, I understand. It's not that simple when it comes to a duty as the HErald of Primus. Not everyone is destined to have an ordinary life."

"Y'know I guess your right."

"You should be waking up now."  

"Wait? Wake up? You mean I'm asleep?" She asked.

"Yes, this is your mind how you imagine it. You tend to have dreams that take place in a forest most, yes?"

"Yeah?" She nodded.

"That's because your mind wanders here most often. Oh, one other thing." She looked at him expectantly, "Do not tell them about your nick name, yet."

End of DReamscape

She opened her eyes and saw Ratchet's face plate in hers, "AH!" She shouted smacking him in the helm before sitting up.

"Ow! That hurt both audibly and physically." Ratchet groaned.

"What were you doing in my face?!" Nova snapped.

Ratchet stared at her like she was daft, "Trying to make sure you were alright and weren't going to offline!"

"So I took a little nap, I'm not gonna die from it." Nova looked at herself and notice that she was still in her form. The reason she was in the med bay is becoz she wanted to sleep but her body cannot no longer fit in her cabin so instead she asked Ratchet she could lay down onto the berth. Which Ratchet let her since he know what she meant, however unknown to her that Ratchet was scanning her, studying her appearance and understanding how her mode works. After looking at it for a second then flopped back onto the berth, "I was hoping that was just a dream."

Ratchet cringed and yelled, "NOVA,  What did you do that for?!

She gave him an amused/confused look, "'Cause...I felt like it? I don't know, is that not allowed all of a sudden...'cause I'm not planning to stop just because it freaks you out."  

  "You didn't feel, anything?"  

  "Nooo, should I have?"  

Ratchet moved around to her back and began feeling something, "Hold still..."

Before she could ask what he was doing he was tickling her on the back, and it tickled. "Stop it! That tickles! Nock it off...!" She shouted at Ratchet while laughing, trying to pull away from.

Ratchet walked back to her front and ran another scan, "They appear to be fine, though I'm not sure how she didn't feel anything from flopping down on them like that."

"Flopping on what?" She asked, trying to look back.

Ratchet moved to look at her back again when something suddenly collided with his midsection. He let out a loud, umph! and clutched his midsection, "Nova! What was that for?"

"Uh...I for once, didn't mean to do anything."

"Really?" He asked disbelievingly.

"Well...I didn't want you touching my back again, but I didn't do anything either!" She cried in self-defense.

"You need to control them better and how did you not even flinch?" Ratchet asked

She huffed confused, "Control and flinch at what?!"

"Your wings!" Ratchet yelled.

"Oh." Nova said dumbly, twitching her wings. "I'm not sure why I didn't flinch but at least I'm not a seeker though it's strange to have these wings." Stretching her wings wide which caused Ratchet tools to fall off.

Ratchet said frustration, "NOVA!!! WOULD YOU PLEASED CONTROL YOUR WINGS?! YOUR GOING TO MAKE A MESS."

"Hey, What am I suppose to do? It's not like I could just imagine I could hide my wings." Nova said. With that response, she felt her wings retracted and hidden away as if it was no longer there. Much to their surprise, Ratchet realized that it is linked to her mind which shows she could retract them deep inside herself; hide them completely from sight if she wished.

NOva said surprised, "Huh, What do you know? It worked...."

While Ratchet cleaned up the mess, Nova was still in her robotic form which she will refer to as 'Titan Mode', she wasn't able to figure it out how to changed back like what Alpha Trion says but she couldn't help but stay in it, just the little things that impress her, She keep checking herself out and poking her optic. She felt slightly disappointed that she was unable to sleep in her room, only at medbay. 

Campy seems saddened that her master is a giant femme and no longer having attention. Nova heard his crooning noise as she turned to him and petted him using her finger. Nova cooed and said, "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to you, Campy. To be honest, I really wanted to cuddle you but as long as I figure it out how to turn back. You can have all the attention you want, even a treat."

Which brightened Campy as he hopped happily, Ratchet came into the medbay and saw she was still in her form. , "W-why are you still in this form?" he then stuttered, "You're supposed to be starting off small." He lightly scolded.

"I'm sorry Ratchet, it's just that i'm still fascinated with this whole thing, i mean even when walking around its awesome." Nova said kicking her feet up.

"Well now you need to find a way to go back to being human." He said lightly.

"YEah Yeah I'll try to think of a way to turn back." She groaned

"I hope these aren't small signs of you becoming too accustomed to this form?" Optimus said entering the room.

"No, just a misplaced error due to...'time flies when you're having fun'...." She said sarcastically.

2 days later  

She was still haven't figure it out how to turned back, she has spend 2 days wandering the base (only when there's no autobot around), not having much room to move though. She remained in her room and be sure to lock it so that no one would enter. LAter, She wandered through the hallways more and stopped in a larger store room to stretch a bit. She managed to learn to steady her movement but she still haven't adapt it yet. She just couldn't believe she was bestow a new mode that would help her aid with the autobots. Still, her mind was reeling from the conversation she just had with Alpha Trion. Just what had her life become in such a short time. 

 Nova sighed of what she was thinking and was about to head back when she felt a presence. She expected it was Campy but it wasn't. Much to her horror, the one who came was none other.....

"Hey, NOva!! Where are you?! I don't know why Ratchet told me not to....." as Miko entered the large room, she looked up to see an unfamiliar femme. Nova forgotten that Miko might come back to base to help Bulkhead after school and regretting for coming out. Nova said, "Um look I uh...."

Miko stunned face look was changed to excitement. "WOah....Nobody mentioned we have another autobot on the team." Miko said excitedly. 

'Great, just what I need, a hyper girl with extreme curiosity.' Nova rolled her optics.

Miko walked towards her and began questioning, "So, What's your story? Where'd you come from? How'd you get here? How many blasters you packin'?"

Nova placed her hand over on her head, shaking at her annoying questions. With no choice, she looked down at Miko and replied, "I think that's too many questions to asked, Miko."

Miko stared at her deadpanned as Nova said, crossed arms, "What's the matter, Pig-tail girl? Cat go your tongue.

"NO WAY!!! NOVA, YOUR A GIANT ROBOT?!"

  She twitched with the sudden screeching. 'Wow, I thought she was loud when I was human.' She replied, "Yes, I am."

"But how did----?"

"It's a new mode called the Titan Mode."

  "Dude that's awesome! So can you transform? What kind of firepower do you have? Have you ever gone con crushing since?" she asked with a big smile on her face.

"Miko you do know I'm not a new autobot." She said slightly offended.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound that way." She said apologetic then instantly changing her tone. "Can you pick me up?" she asked excited clasping her hands together.

"What?"

"Y'know pick me up."

  "E-Er, Miko I'm not sure I should be doing that yet."  Nova said.  She is not quite sure of her strength yet and knows she could defiantly harm her if she doesn't apply the right kind of pressure. She could just used her telekenisis power to lift her up easily.

  "Oh come on you could just put me on your shoulder."   She begged giving her a puppy dog expression. Nova hate to admit that she is very crafty.

  "w-well...a-alright." She said as she knelt down, she looked at herhand as she tried to figure out how to perform a delicate task.'what do we feel like in their hands? Like when you hold a mouse maybe? You can feel them but their very light? But that lightness doesn't make holding us very secure.'

 "Erm better for you to just sit my palm." She finally answered with.  

  "If bulkhead can hold me, then you can...but okay" She said as she sat in Nova's palm as she lifted her up gently then cupped a free hand around her, 'she's a mouse, she's a mouse. I just have to be gentle.'

She let Miko climb upon her shoulder as she gripped onto her armour plating but looking very comfortable and casual, though Nova would personally want her to cling on for dear life!  

"See was that so bad?" she asked.

"I guess not i just thought of you as a mouse." Nova admitted.

"Hey! I'm not hairy. Let's head to the main room, Bulkhead" She said. 

"Um I don't it's such a good idea."

"Huh Why not?"

"It's just....I don't want anyone see me like this."

"Why? everyone will freaked to see you in this form. 

"I don't know.....I think I rather be in my room and not revealing myself."

  "Oh come on I'm sure they'll understand beside its better than being cramped in here."  

Nova thought of it, she does want to walk around freely and she has been feeling cramped in her room due to her size. With that, she sighed in defeat and said, "ALright you win, but don't blame me if they attack me with you on it."

"Good." Miko said with satisfaction.  "Now march." She ordered pointing in front of her.  

"You know I could throw you to the moon." She jested.

"Already abusing power huh?" she said nudging her in the cheek.

"Don't pushed it." She stated, as she begun to steadily walk out of the room and down the hall seeing how Miko could fall off if she jogged.

"Wow, maybe I should've walked myself." Miko jested.

  "hey give me break, I'm still adapting to this form plus there is no way i'm speeding up and then you end up falling and then die when you hit the ground, or, or you fall, i try to catch you and then you splat in-between my fingers..."  

"Or if the sky falls." Miko finished, "just walk normally; I've got a good grip of you." She reassured patting her armour.

"You better." She added getting the last word in. Nova was still walking through the hallway steadily. She was hoping ratchet would give bulkhead an update as well as the others but he was clearly 'busy' on other things beside her possible termination at the hands of the unknowing autobots because as the moment they entered the main room, Bulkhead fell on his back at the sight of her. He then barrel rolled and stood up on edge, "whoa! Whoa!" he yelled with his wrecking ball out...

"Bulkhead do...." Ratchet started as he turned around finally aware of the situation.

"Stand back Ratch, I got this." He said standing in front of him in a protective manner.

"Bulkhead th..." Miko then started.

"Don't worry Miko, i won't let her hurt you." He spoke reassuringly as he then shot bitter optics at her, "put the human down!" he demanded angrily as he began to charged her despite his injury.

"Bulkhead wait..." Nova said as she shut her optics, raising both her arms in defense. She waited for the impact but nothing came. "Uh Nova...." Miko called, whose voice seems stunned.

Which made Nova opened her, only to see that Bulkhead's body froze while his wrecking ball was in the air, ready to strike her. She noticed the blue highlight surrounding his body, much to Ratchet and Bulkhead's surprise. She stared at her servo and realised she still has her powers as she used her TK power to slowly moved Bulkhead away from her before making him drop on the ground and switching off his weapon as his body stopped glowing.

 Miko said in awe, "I din't know you can do that..."

"Neither do I." Nova spoke before turning to Bulkhead who had a surprised look. "Look Bulkhead, It's me NOva." She said, trying to explained.

Bulkhead's face dropped. "O-Oh p-primus she's already killed Nova! And her spirits trying to communicate with us through this monster!" He yelled.

Both Nova and Miko face palmed. "Bulkhead this is Nova." Miko announced. Bulkhead clenched his fists as he winced again and shook his head. "Miko is in denial." He said.  

"No you glitchhead! Nova was transformed into this form due to her new mode." Ratchet said.   

Bulkhead looked to ratchet, then to us, then to ratchet again, then threw his head back as he clutched his head, "where am i right nowwwwwwww?!" he yelled to the ceiling.

All of them just ignored him as Nova proceeded closer in his direction, "Seriously.....your as worst as Pig-tail girl." She said to him. 

"Hey!! I resent that..." Miko said, slightly offended from her shoulder.

"W-wha...y-you...i-i..." Bulkhead said as though he were about to hyperventilate. 

"Take it easy bulk, maybe you should sit down." .

He then looked around as though he were blind and abruptly went, "no! You guys can't just wave the subject off just because I lack of understanding!" He barked.

"Okay, I discovered my new mode recently and right now this is my Titan form, its temporal....I hope. I can only go on the field when asked, Also do I look alright?" Nova said giving an explanation.

"O-okay." He said as he started to pace and figure out the situation it looked like, "so..." he stopped again as he paced again, "so this is like a...second armor suit right?" he said.

"yes." Nova said.

"Okay....I'm much more comfortable thinking it as that." he said as he finally calmed down.

"Hey if i had a few more inches added to me, my face would be parallel with yours" Nova said approaching him.

Bulkhead looked at her as though he had discovered a new species, he poked her in the forehead, pretty hard too as Nova frowned at him. "You do know I can feel pain." She noted.

"S-sorry...this is still something to get used to..." He uttered, "Hey can you...high five me?" he said, though the most random request ever.

  "Um Ok." She said confusedly as she took a whack at it making bulkhead stumble back slightly.  

  "Whoa there, with that kind of strength you must be a four wheeler." 

"Actually, I'm not much of a wheeler, more like flyer. Well, not exactly a seeker....."

"I don't get it....What do you mean?"

 To make them understand what she meant,  Nova snapped her wings out just enough for Miko to see without hitting Ratchet and his equipment. Miko and Bulkhead take noticed her wings were like angel's wings and not a seeker wing. "Cool!" Miko said, admiring her wings before Nova folded her wings where it can be shown.

   "Okay let's get you doing sit ups." Miko said to Bulkhead. "Nova, your going to help him." She added. "Uh sure. Why not?" She took a hold of Miko and placed her on the floor. Then, She was shocked that she picked up Miko by her reaction.

"Are...you okay?" Nova asked.

"Of course, see you didn't even know you were doing it and you still didn't hurt me." She said giving  the thumbs up.

"I-i guess i didn't...anyway! Let's do this!" 

  "S-sure thing let's do this." He said not as equally loud as Nova but still he sounded eager...kind of, "still you're holding down my legs, my processor is blown from saying that." he said lifting his head up from the ground.  

"Come on Bulky, Miko wanted you to be on the field in top shape. Now drop and give me twenty." Nova said sternly as she held his feet down.  Though, the tight hold she had on his feet made him slightly bewildered.

"e-er...one...two...three...f-four...five...s-s-six...seven...eight...nine...ten...e-eleven...t-twelve...t-t-thirteen...f-fourteen...f-fifthteen...s-s-sixteen...e-eighteen...urgh!" He then collapsed back. "i-i'm sorry Nova, i couldn't make it." He said.

"Hey you got past ten and that's an accomplishment in itself." Miko encouraged.

"Yeah but the set number was twenty." He said sounding annoyed with himself.

"It was only something to aim for, for encouragement and it worked." Nova said.

With that explanation bulkhead felt pretty pleased with himself, "so I am improving?" he asked.

Nova nodded.

He then grew solemn, "but it's not enough." He said as he struggled to get himself off the floor, She tried to offer him a hand but he shook his head, "I can do it." He said a tinge of anger lingered in his voice. She let him be as he finally got up but he was growing angry with how hard a task it was.

The distinct sound of a motorbike then came roaring into base, though she wondered what took them so long, Jack slightly bounced off Arcee as she performed the fastest transformation ever.

"Who is that?!" Arcee exclaimed, getting her weapons out, a normal greeting for any new autobot...wheeljack...smokescreen or in that case NOva, but still giving the same explanation every time is really starting to bore her.

"Seriously....Why does everyone have to be hostile about me?" Nova whined slumping her arms to her side.

"...Nova?" she breathed out, slightly retracting her weapons but still making them noticed.

She was bored of the same explanation so she decided to be sick in the head, "Arcee..." Nova spoke very sadly, "I'm afraid...I was in a terrible accident, my body couldn't make it but my mind was and was placed in this body." Nova told her with remorse look on her face to make it look convincing.

"Primus!" she yelled, retracting her weapons completely and looked as though she were to blame for all this.

"Sike!! Haha you could have seen the looks on your face" She said.

Her face was confused for a mere second before comprehending that Nova had just fooled her, She then walked straight up to her as Nova looked down at her, she seems to be taller than Arcee which was cool for her.

Anyway, Arcee was instantly raging no matter the height difference, "Normally i would flick you in the back of the head but seeing how i can't even reach you now I'll need to plot something else." She spoke sternly but annoyed, then again Nova was worried about returning to human now because of what she just said.

"So what do you think?" Nova asked.

Though she noticed jack didn't say anything he just stood there with his mouth hung open, "Uh Jack?" Nova called again.

"Is this...permanent?" he asked, in an equally concerned tone.

"No...It's just a new mode I just unlocked recently....Think of it as a second armor suit." She said, something she hope everyone will be more comfortable with when said that.

He then slowly approached NOva as she looked down at him while he looked me up and down, "you're er...big." he uttered doing his signature motion of scratching his head again.

"You know if you told me that in my human form, I would throw you across the room without an ounce of regret." 

"Well this is.....strange. Can you blame me?" he said.

"Are you one of those guys who don't do taller girls?" 

"Well you know i would probably develop a complex." He jested back. "So what are you doing in this form now if you're only 'back up'?"

"Helping bulkhead with rehabilitation, it's classed as back up." 

"I'm taking a sit out anyway." Bulkhead said rather grumpily as he sat down.

Then, Smokescreen came in view as it looked like he had just been in the training room as he punched the air, then again that's like his signature walk now.

But then he spotted Nova and instant dread fell over her face as his optics flashed brightly, "Heyyyyy who's this?" he said in smooth voice, swaying over her way.

'Oh please no, this is going to be awkward.' Nova thought, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Hey I'm smokescreen, I'm an elite guard i'm pretty slick in my moves if you know what I mean?" he hinted and winked.

Nova's optics twitched a bit,'I swear to any deity of any race, I'm going to snap the neck of the next guy to wink at me.' 

"Gee that was flattering but you're probably about a few thousand years older than me so you better stop now before I electrocute you into bits." Nova stated calmly, holding it together.

"Hey you sound like..." He then stepped back wary. "N-nevermind." He stuttered.

"Great, I think I may have developed some self esteem issues right now." She said, feeling in a universe of pure awkwardness.
