Human Factor

(A/N Hey guys, I'm BACK and here is the chapter just as I promised. I hope you enjoy it......oh I almost forgot; "HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE")

Bumblebee was the last one to came to the base. At first, he thought she was a beautiful femme but Nova didn't felt like tricking him so she explained everything to Bee. She was a bit guilty that Bee thought that she was a femme and was ashamed for not realizing it. She apologized to him which Bee understand. Nova thought to believe he will find that special someone one day, but deep in her thought that Nova felt bad for getting his hopes up.

The Next day, Miko and Jack were in the little personal human part while Nova draped her arms over the railing making herself look like she's fitting in the 'gang'. Campy was on her shoulder, despite being small he wished to stay beside her.

"Hey, where's Raf?" She asked.

"Arcee said that bumblebee is on patrol so I have no idea." Jack said.

"Wanna call him?"

"Yeah better." He said as he speed dialed.

"Put it on speaker."

"Sure thing deputy dawg." He jested saluting.

It rang only once until Raf picked up, "yeah?" he said pretty quietly.

"Hey raf, where are you?" he asked.

There was silence for a while, "raf?" jack said.

"Hold on." He whispered.

"Erm, okay?" jack said.

Then a loud bang came from the side of Nova, making her jump slightly, "Bulkhead! I needed that!" Ratchet said. She casually and stupidly started swinging on the railing which is what she would normally do in her human form until it snapped like an elastic band and fell on her back.

  "Uh whoopsie." Nova said, holding the broken railing between her hand.  

"Nova! I...didn't need that as much." Ratchet said.

"He can walk!" She heard Smokescreen say as bulkhead started applying pressure on a metal ball.

Ratchet helped Nova  up, "he looks fine to me." Smokescreen added as she got to her feet. 

"You don't even know what you're talking about." Ratchet mumbled. "And you. How can you forget what form you're in right now, heres a clue when you can see my face at leveled height your probably a robot." He moaned.

"Hey, how should I know?" She said with a shrug. Campy shook his helm from the dizziness and looked up to his owner. "Sorry about that Campy." She apologized. 

"Raf?" Jack said again.

"What's he saying?"

"Nothing yet, he's being a bit secretive." He said

"Home, I'm...grounded." Raf said quietly.

"Grounded? Raf?" She said bewildered.

"You've got to be kidding me, Raf. You of all people, grounded?" Jack said equally bewildered.

"Big time." He said back. "I misplaced some homework and blew a couple of tests."

"Translation, A- instead of A." Miko said sitting down.

"Woah, that's low."

"I'm probably spending too much time at the base..." he said before not continuing further "...no mama..." they heard. "Say hi to Bee for me, until I improve these grades, I'm off team prime." He said before cutting off the conversation.

"Well, I didn't expect Raf to be grounded. Right, Campy?" She shrugged. Campy agreed with her from her shoulder.

THey all then turned to bulkhead who was still training hard, "just when we get one back we lose another." Miko said bowing her head slightly.

Minutes later, out of boredom Miiko then ran up to her face as Nova lean on the...platform now since she wrecked the railing, "so what do you guys wanna do now?" Jack asked for her.

"Dude, Nova's a robot lets go to Vince's house and take his roof off" she said excitably.

"Nah can't do that." Nova shrugged.

"Why because it's wrong?" she said in a slight mocking tone.

"No man, because as I said before that I can't transform into a vehicle mode, Remember?" Nova reminded.

"Pfft duh!" Miko said slapping a hand over her forehead. "Still think of all the stuff we can do now." She said.

"Just because I've changed in form doesn't mean my thoughts on following rules have changed." 

"Not even as a getaway for when I'm in detention?" she said raising an eyebrow.

Before Nova could stutter an answer an alarm went off which she was thankful as the room flashed green however she remember she's still in her robot mode. "Great, Fowlers here." Nova announced.

Fowler came eagerly in from the elevator just barely letting the doors open, "Prime, I have Intel that involves both the return of mech and the decepticons." He said making his way over to the computers.

"Woah....wait, Mech? Again? Without Silas?" NOva said tilting her head.

Fowler looked right at Nova casually. "I'll get into that." He flapped a hand in her direction, "anyway, I've already took the liberty of sending the location of the recent activities." He said even though he didn't react to her at all. "And...." he then gawked when he saw Nova in her Titan Form.

   ".....Er...who is that?!" Fowler said.

"It's Nova." Jack said calmly.

"No, no see that's not Nova you know why, because Nova is a five foot ten human, This is an abomination!" he freaked, believing the autobots experimented on her.

"Great I'm a freak." She said, feeling offended.

"Agent Fowler, I assure you this is Nova, she was transformed to her new mode 2 days ago." Ratchet stated

"Think of it as an upgrade. Also, I don't appreciate being insulted. " Nova added.

"Oh...Um... I apologize I didn't mean to call you as the abomination." Folwer said, feeling ashamed of himself.

"Yeah yeah I get that a lot lately. Look, Let's just move past the subject and stick to the 'Mech' and decepticon activity, you know life threatening stuff." Nova said folding her  arms.

Fowler sighed, "Uh right...Well, At sixteen thirteen hours, a satellite was stolen from a high security military vault. Surveillance shows the decepticon known as Breakdown was at the scene."

"Wait, HOld up Breakdown?"

Haven't seen him in a while." Bulkhead said.

"It looks like Breakdown entered the base in vehicle mode, with someone behind the wheel" Fowler informed.

"A Decepticon, paired with a human!?" Ratchet announced.

"And I have a pretty good hunch too. The stolen satellite was project Damocles." 

 'You gotta be kidding me.' Nova thought

"Invented by Silas." Optimus said.

  "I guess the former colonel bishop wanted it back."   

  "But didn't Silas...." Bumblebee started  

"Yeah," Arcee agreed. "I thought Silas was paste."

"So did I," Fowler groaned.

  "Yeah I mean I saw, this very body crush him." NOva added, shuddered of the image in her mind.

"Agent Fowler," Ratchet began. "Even if he were alive, are you suggesting that Silas has allied MECH with the decepticons? I highly doubt that Megatron would entertain such an idea,"

"Why not?" Jack asked from the catwalk.

"Yeah, I mean the human-bot alliance works for us," Nova confirmed.

"Most of the time," Arcee scoffed.

"So what are we dealing with?" 

Fowler then brought up An image of project Damocles if i were in action on screen, "Damocles is a particle beam cannon so powerful it can slice up the pentagon like a birthday cake, it'll give everyone on mount Rushmore a Mohawk all from a satellite in orbit." Fowler said. "It's the work of a mad man and in Megatrons hands, a threat to anyone, anywhere on the planet."

"Wow, that guy seriously has problems, Obsess much." Nova groaned.

"But why join with the decepticons? I mean i thought mech was always after the best technology." Jack said.

"Maybe they want to be a part of it now? introducing a devastating weapon whilst being airborne is a pretty good tactical advantage."

Fowler turned and pulled a manilla folder out of his bag. "The cons may have the satellite, but they can't use it without the interface code. The only existing copy is stored on the secured servers at Headquarters in Colorado."

  "We must keep the code out of decepticon hands at all costs," Optimus turned and headed for the hangar   

Bulkhead bumped his fists together eagerly, "its roll time..." he announced dragging himself around at an angle.

"Ep, ep, ep I have not yet cleared you for active duty nor are you ready to roll." Ratchet scolded wagging his finger at him, as Bulkhead shook in furious anger.

"Ratchet upload the co-ordinates that agent Fowler has provided, Arcee, Bumblebee, smokescreen, prepare to roll out." Optimus said. Smokescreen jogged on the spot, "alright let's roll." He said, as Bulkhead gave him a frustrated growl. Ratchet activated the groundbridge as all autobots for the mission transformed and rolled towards it. As the groundbridge switch off, NOva was left in thought. 

"Something's not right.....If Silas really is alive, and MECH is paired with the decepticons, It still doesn't cancel out the fact that we have not seen nor heard of Breakdown in sometime. None of it make sense I mean whatever Breakdown's intentions with project Damocles, I had a bad feeling about this." 

Her thought was snapped out when she heard Bulkhead slumped back down where he was sitting before as Nova walked towards him, "hey come on Bulkhead your nearly there, just hang on mentally a little more." Nova said.

"Still i can't help but feel outdated, seeing the newbie so pumped up..." he trailed off.

"You're not that old bulk, I'd give you about a day before your back on the field. But instead of sitting down, why don't you monitor the screen to keep your spirits up?" Nova suggested. "i mean sitting here only lowers your self esteem."

He thought for a moment and nodded as he heaved himself up, "if they had a choice of back up between you and me, they wouldn't choose me." He said. She knows how he feels when it comes to being useless, it reminded of Bumblebee where he lost his T-cog. Perhaps, he needed a little encouragement. Nova placed Campy into the platform as it jumped into Miko's arm before turning to Bulkhead.

"Y'know......Instead of waiting for that choice, how about we fight for it? Unless, your too scared...."Nova jested as she lightly pushed him.

Bulkhead was slightly caught off guard but he had a look of playfulness in his optics, "bring it." He said as they both locked their hands against each other and pushed each other as though they were competing in a tug of war competition.

"Come on bulk!" Miko cheered while holding Campy in her arms.

"Throw him out of base Nova." Jack cheered. Ratchet merely shook his head to the immaturity.

"Give it up old mech; you can't fight against evolution I was built with force."  Nova teased as he begun to push her backwards in response to that comment and grinning that it was working.

"n-no way am I losing to a human and a girl for that matter." He teased back as Nova was being practically slide across the floor now.

"I'll let you win this time, I don't want to jeopardize your health old guy." She said as he then with all his force pushed her all the way down the start of the hallway, "h-hey now that's overdoing it." Nova said, being a sore loser about it.

"Heh." Bulkhead said brushing his hands as though he had just taken out the trash. "thanks." He then added.

  "Ratchet we require back up."  Optimus then said over the comm link.  

"Back up?" Nova said, perking up.

"I'm there." Bulkhead announced lightly pushing her before ratchet swiftly stopped him.

"Ep, ep, ep." He said taking a hold of his arm.

"Can you remotely disable project Damocles under agent fowler's advisement." 

"Oh...that kind of back up." Nova said sinking low as well as Bulkhead.

"On a human based computer network, without my back up, without Raphael?" Ratchet fell slightly for he was no good when it comes to our technology.

"Just send us over to his house, he can probably do it from home he's that good." Miko said slightly bouncing.

"Do it." Fowler added.

"You want me to groundbridge you inside Raphael's home with risk of revealing a groundbridge?" ratchet said.

"Inside his bedroom, if he's studying he'll rarely be disturbed." Jack said.

Ratchet then turned to the computer screen as he pinpointed Rafs home then magnified that so he got the co-ordinates for his room. "Prepare yourself; I'll be quick on opening and quick on closing." He said to them.

Jack, Miko and Agent Fowler, made their way to the entrance of where the groundbridge would open, and with a nod ratchet opened it allowing them to run through and it closed just as fast. NOva was sitting down, petting Campy using her finger while BUlkhead was pacing around the room. It was making him anxious that he wanted to be on the field.

"Ratchet you gotta send me in." Bulkhead pleaded.

"So you can be an even easier target?!" he said as he turned to him, "You have yet to regain your full range of motion!"

"But breakdowns back he's my arch enemy, come on even the kids are in on the action." Bulkhead said.

Ratchet sighed long and loud, "very well bulkhead. You are cleared for duty."

"Yes!" Bulkhead announced triumphantly, clenching a fist and turning around about to throw himself into that action.

"A duty of my choosing." Ratchet cut in, as bulkhead turned scratching his head. "Kerbside duty." 

Nova blinked at him, "Really?

"Kerbside duty?" he moaned.

"Would you prefer to stay here?" Ratchet threatened.

Bulkhead let out his frustration again but he transformed (struggling to start with i might add) and drove out of base, eager to search for any hostile threat. She's guessing it might be an excuse to get out of base.

Now she's the only one not doing anything, she wanted to help others with project Damoclesbut she can't avoid the lasers and doesn't have a vehicle mode either. Making her feel anxious, Nova stand in her feet and stretch her arms.

 She sighed, "Well then, since I can't do anything, i might as well..."  as she was about to head to the training room to train herself until Bulkhead commed over the comm link.

  "Good call on kerbside duty Ratch." Bulkhead said, hearing the screeching background.

"Why?" Nova said to herself.

"Bulkhead must be engaging the enemy, who though, I am unsure." Ratchet said.

"Still kerbside duty is kerbside duty, you didn't intend him to engage any cons." Nova said shaking his shoulder.

"You have no vehicle mode." Ratchet reminded.

"Check his location." Nova said pointing. He sighed but did so and it came up on screen. "He's past civilians buildings, he's down a bank you can't be seen from the top, send me in." She said.

"Bulkhead do you read? Bulkhead!" He said instead blatantly shrugging off that request. "He's not answering." He said to himself.

"Send me in." Nova said again.

He then opened up another comm link patch, "Optimus i fear bulkhead may require immediate back-up." He said. She knew Ratchet wasn't listening so she said angrily, "Well, if your not going to  send me in then I'll just do it myself."

Ratchet said, "What?" 

Nova's optics started to glow as she pointed her hand on the controls and used her technopathy to set the coordinates before the groundbridge activated itself. Ratchet was shocked of what just happened and the fact she was able to hack the system without touching the controls as he turned to her, "Nova, How did you---?

"Look, I may not have a vehicle mode but that doesn't mean I could just sit by and do nothing. I was given this form for a purpose. So Please, I need to help Bulkhead."

 Ratchet gave her a long stare before he moved aside without saying anything. "Just Be careful." He said as Nova nodded to him in thanks.

As she reached to the other side, Nova witness Bulkhead and Breakdown were fixed in combat, but she seems disturbed of Breakdown's appearance. He looked terrible, like a puzzle piece...like all his parts had been put back together again. Nova watched Breakdown beat Bulkhead down as bulkhead struggled to get up, his recovery was slower than normal which was understandable. 

So Nova ran at Breakdown and threw a fist in his face just to make it a fairer fight, "Back off Con." She said. "That's not who you think it is." Bulkhead said getting himself up.  

"What do you mean? He looks like a Con, acts like a Con..." Nova started.

"How quaint." Came the voice of Silas from Breakdown's body as he lightly brushed himself down as a mocking gesture.

"But doesn't sound like a Con..." Nova finished, furrowing her brow.

  "I'm not surprised, the taken form of a titan is quite amazing don't you think? Great minds think alike."  

Nova glared at him and scowled, "Don't compare me to you, SILAS." She slowly started to approaching him. "Tell me, How were you still alive? You should've died back then."

"I know you two have history, but this is my fight." Bulkhead stopped her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Fine, just let me have a few hits." Nova said sternly.

"Fine by me." He said as Nova continued forward. "So?" She said to Silas.

"My body had sustained too much damage and was placed inside this robotic corpses." He explained vulgarly. Nova furrowed her brow again slightly disturbed, "In other words, your body is in there." She said.

"Where is yours?" he asked intrigued.

"Your looking at it..... You could say I was upgraded to a new level."

"I see....Exquisite."

  "So Mech has aligned itself with the decepticons?"   

  "If you are referring to Mech as me then yes."  

  "You are the only one?" Nova said, slightly surprised.

 "Although there services have been admirable, unfortunately they are not like me and there for they were weaker and in a sense 'outdated' to what I expect." He said casually.

  "You...killed your own men?"   

  "Are you really surprised?"   

  "No, I'm actually disgusted......that the fact you have no humanity or morality and your current form can't even stress that enough, you only care about yourself but in the end, who will aid you in your time of need?"  

"Enough of this, I have orders and I intend to follow that through." He said as he charged at Nova throwing his armed hammer at her.

Nova retracted her blade and it clashed with the hammer; with her free hand she punched him with full force in the lower torso as he went down with surprise in his optics. "You did this to me before so I'm returning the favor." Nova said, referring to a time he had forced her to her knee's in the same manner.

He rose up again as Nova allowed him to stand, then he attempted to throw a hammer at her again, Nova threw down many combos in his abdomen the force he put into his arm had made him open for attack, he stumbled back as she then high-kicked him across the bank. "I'm not angry, I'm not injured, and Fowlers not here, if I were to fight you now... i would win." Nova then looked to bulkhead, "but...this is bulkhead's fight..so I'll let him have his way." Nova said as she  motioned bulkhead.

"I didn't do much bulk, he's still fully functional." She said as she stood to the side and observed instead. "Once I finish the big guy off, I'll counteract your claim." Silas threatened as he ran in their direction.

"You can try." She taunted.

Bulkhead then got in front of her as he charged at Silas with his metallic ball. He seems persistent but Bulkhead was still healing and it showed,

"Reaction times are slow." Silas said as Bulkhead took another swing at him, "you're favoring your right side."

Bulkhead groaned as he had already tired himself out, "Legs are weak." Silas said continuing to make an analysis, He took another slow swing, Silas then threw a more quick swing at him as he sent Bulkhead across a distance.

"Bulkhead!" Nova called.

Bulkhead heaved his face up, "I'll show you weak." He said, as he pushed himself toward Silas, he took another swing at him as Silas spun to avoid it, causing bulkhead to overtake him as Silas threw an arm into his back.

  Bulkhead fell again as his body scraped across the floor causing sparks to fly, "you should've stayed in bed Autobot." Silas said as Bulkhead made no sign of getting up, and Silas was going to terminate him from behind until a lightning blast shot past him.

  "Get away from him, Silas!" Nova yelled, her hand sparked dangerously.

  "Ah yes I forgot about you." 

 He shot at Nova a few times as she dodged each, he then charged at her with his hammer again as Nova dispatched her armblade, She slid between his legs as he threw his hammer down, it missed, however he spun around and this time got a hit as she was thrown across the bank. 

Nova winced as she got into her knelt position and gave a murderous look at Silas. "Come now, Nova. Remember last time you fought me?" He mocked.

She narrowed her eyes. "Last time, I didn't had a chance to. This time, I do."

Nova kept to a knelt position as he came at her again, he swung his hammer overhead and brought it down, Nova leaped backwards as he had created a small crater and without a second thought she lunged her blade into his shoulder, deep.

"Argh!" he exclaimed as she forced him to the floor still with her blade intact.

"And this time stay down." Nova said.

He chuckled darkly, "you're still going to attempt to bring me in?" he said amused. "The only way you'd be able to bring me in is if i were dead. I will not stop." He sounded so confident and she felt him push against her hold on him.

"Silas, even though you are encased in this form, your plan will fail and Megatron will see you as what you are, human...you are a demon, but megatron is a greater evil. If you return to the nemesis...there will only be one future for you." Nova stated, but sounded desperate.

"Don't try to cloud my thoughts with your acting of pity, I am a decepticon now, and I can finally cut myself from this inferior race that refuses to evolve." He said his speech was that of insanity.

Nova stared down at him. 'He has lost it, what do i do? He won't stop...that i believe...i can keep fighting him, but that would merely post pone his inevitable retreat. He won't fight to the point of termination...no...He's a survivor. All ways end up with him returning to the nemesis...should I..should I spare him of that?'

So with her free hand, she retracted the second blade, she knew Megatron would not allow him a place among the ranks, he has insecticons, vehicons, commanding officers, Silas had one thing to offer and Raf will render it useless...she's positive he will. 

Silas looked at the blade that hovered over him as a shadowed wing, he then grinned at her, "So, you can make those choices after all." He said intrigued. She was ready to kill him yet some part of her is telling her that it was not the right way while the other is telling her to kill him. She was so lost in her thought that he threw his weight against Nova, taking advantage of the distraction so that he forced himself up.

  "You see Nova, you are too weak to do anything. You can't even kill the one person who took everything from you, and that weakness will be your downfall," Silas sneered sadistically.  

"No", NOva said to herself as she pulled back her blade, then in that split second Silas was about twenty meters away from her as his back scraped against the ground, She looked to her side slightly bewildered.

"Assist, what the new guys for." Smokescreen announced moving past her and lending a hand to bulkhead who still lay there.

Nova looked in front of her as Silas got himself up again with that same grin, "One new guy to another." He said as he clicked his neck, "this is your final day on the job." He announced as he got his hammer out again and charged at all of them, but they swiftly dodged as he left another small crater in the ground as well as allot of dust.

"You had to step in and be the hero." Nova said, slightly annoyed.

"What did I do?" he said showing her his hands as a gesture of innocence.

Nova shook her head in amusement before focusing on Silas, "C'mon you two. It's time we teach him a lesson about teamwork." Nova said as they continued to dodge Silas's attacks.  

Bulkhead shook his head in amusement, "Take turns kids." Bulkhead said as he transformed his arm again, he punched Silas in the torso a few times as Nova high-kicked him in the face making him stagger, then Smokescreen finished him off by jump-kicking him down a distance making him flip over onto his front.

"Team work." Nova said rolling her shoulder.

Silas looked up as he got a gun out from his shoulder he fired a missile, Nova managed to put up a shield around them before the missile collided, leaving a fiery wake on their path. "Wow," Smokescreen said in awe before lowering her shield. When the smoke cleared, Silas had already retreated through a waiting ground bridge.

 "No!" Nova frustrated throwing her fist down. She let him escaped again, and for the last time, she wouldn't wish this fate on anyone...not even him.

They all then looked to the sky as a fiery meteorite of project Damocles came crashing down to earth, sealing Silas's fate.

"Looks like someone's big plan just burned up on re-entry." Bulkhead said.

"High fives all round." Smokescreen said as they did so as a triangle, though Nova wasn't as passionate. "And for the record, I studied every one of the wrecker's battles." Smokescreen said to bulkhead.

"There's hope for you yet, newbie." Bulkhead said being more friendly towards him now.

"However you can't say the same for Silas." NOva said grimly.

"Yeah Megatron will probably have him dissected." Smokescreen jested.

"Um yeah I don't even want to picture that smokescreen." Nova sternly said. He maybe meant well with that joke and thought Megatron wasn't actually going to dissect him but she had a feeling he probably would. But Smokescreens uncertain expression make her feel bad.

Bulkhead noticed her silenced and asked concerned, "Hey, are you alright?"

Nova snapped out of her thought. " Huh Oh I'm fine.....just glad that's over. Let's all head back to base." Nova said to him in a more light hearted manner.

"Yeah good idea, we don't want to be seen by humans and all." He said slightly stuttering.

"Oh Now you follow the rules." Nova said obnoxiously.

"I'm beginning to see hope in both of you, Well I'd like to see you newbie's take me on." Bulkhead bragged. Nova knew he was definitely feeling great about being on the field again.

"Ha, you wish!" Nova announced, poking him in the chest. Suddenly, she heard a static in her ear or audio receptors as placed her finger on her left side. 'What the...?'  She wondered until a voice spoke in her head.

"Nova, Smokescreen, is bulkhead..." Ratchet's voice echoed. She was surprised that he was speaking through her comm link, even though she wasn't using her watch. Yet, she can hear his voice as though there is a phone wedged in her brain. She had no idea how did that happened then wondered if somehow her communication watch must have merged with her Titan Mode, just like her Armor mode.

"I'm fine Ratch thanks for asking." Bulkhead stated sarcastically.

"Then...the decepticons..." Ratchet started.

"Yeah, Silas retreated." Nova said.

"S-Silas? Pfft how can Silas be the reason for back up?" he scoffed.

"Just send the groundbridge Ratchet, we'll give you the details then." Bulkhead said.

Back in the Base

Everybot, including Nova are back at the base and Fowler was the only one to return from Raf's house as Miko and Jack were sent home for security reasons and Raf's family had been taken into custody. From what Bulkhead explained that Silas was targeting Raf's house as the decepticons had discovered him as the hacker and as such now know where he lives.

"So now Raf's family has to relocate?" Nova asked Fowler solemnly.

"Yes." Fowler replied who was equally displeased.

"But where? In Jasper still I hope?" 

"We will just have to see, I'll try to sort this out." He assuring her before leaving but by his tone it sounded as though he had a lot of work to do to make that a reality. Nova watched the elevator doors close on him as she turned and sat on the edge of where she had broke the railings, Bulkhead and Smokescreen stood close by. Campy went over to Nova as he climbed onto her shoulder (Despite the large size, he can still want to be with her). Nova noticed him as she petted him gently, carefully not to squish him.

"So what was your clash with Silas like?" Arcee asked all three of them as Nova instantly stood back up.

"Well it's like this Arcee, I'm being totally amazing." Nova bragged but joked around, "and being all around perfect like and then this guy." She pointed a hard finger in Smokescreens direction, "comes in and is all like 'assist what the new guys for.'" She impersonated him the most obnoxious way she could. "But yeah in the end Silas retreated and Smokescreen took cover behind me because you know I am totally his hero now ya know like a heavenly light fell upon me I'm that awesome." Nova continued to joked. Unfortunately, she was getting a reaction from Smokescreen at the same time.

"Hey, I did not; although you did saved us by forming a force field around us when Silas fired that missile." Smokescreen argued.

"Yeah..." Nova then said as she looked to the floor and sighed, making it obvious to them that something was bothering her.

"What's wrong?" Arcee was the first to ask.

"I was...going to terminate him." Nova said gravely.

"Why did you want to?" Arcee said as she approached her closer and she spoke gently too.

"Well think about it, Megatron has everything for an army, Silas had one thing to offer, it failed. So I thought I could..."Nova trailed off at that point. "I could give him a quick death..." Nova then kind of averted her eyes from everyone the moment she revealed that.

Arcee then placed a hand her shoulder, "It was not out of revenge or a grudge, it was out of selflessness, and don't feel as though you were doing it for all the wrong reasons, Silas got what was coming to him everything up to this point was from his own doing."

"Still instead of project Damocles, couldn't he have invented warp drive instead?" 

"We can only hope that from Silas's mistakes we can learn from them." Optimus said.

"such as 'you can't bring back your dead friends when you're in trouble yourself, you should've thought of that earlier you jerk' and 'being an overpowering dictator can lead to insanity as well as being big headed' and 'stealing technology like a Borg is lazy' just to name a few, all that and stuff." Nova shrugged.

"Let's not dwell on it anymore." Ratchet stated, not comfortable with the subject.

"At least now the threat of Mech no longer lingers this world, nor do any more demons linger." Optimus said, looking in her direction.

True to his words, With Mech no more then Nova can finally move on. Putting her past behind her although it was ashamed that she was unable to kill him for everything he did. But she was glad that she doesn't have to worry about Mech anymore. Now that her threat was over, there is one thing she had to figured it out; How to change back into a human?
