Not requested just really wanted to make this after seeing this story! Hope you all like it! Also, spoilers for those who have not been battled by Uwasa Tsuruno Chan! This is also going to be in her POV but then it will be going to Hot Shot's POV in third person so yeah, just be warned. XD
--------
Tsuruno Chan's POV.
I wonder...

How long have I been in this land if happiness? Probably not that long I think...

Still though, I wonder why I thought about that Hot Pot from before, I'm not really sure. Oh well! It doesn't matter to me!

As I looked around I try to think of another place to add here in Chelation Land! As I do look around I suddenly think of one thing that popped into my mind and smiled happily.

"Oh! This will be a good one! A racing car track!" I giggled and make one appear, one yellow with black strips, the second one orange and yellow which has flames.

Wait... that's odd...why do I feel like I've seen...

A memory flashes in my mind and I suddenly see a car racing around a area that looked like it was having fun. I watched with wide eyes and rush over to it and shouted happily as it does amazing cool tricks.

"HEY! NICE MOVES YA GOT THERE!" I shouted happily with a huge smile on my face, suddenly I see the car stop to turn and look at me, when it did I saw it-

*SCREECH*

My eyes go wide in shock when I snapped out of my daze and placed a hand over my head and whimper. "O-Ow...what was that all about...?"

"Hey! Tsuruno San! We need some help over here!" One of the familiar said quickly catching my attention. "Oh! Coming!" I said and quickly go over to see them while I thought about what I had just created. First a Hot Pot, and now a race track? Hm... that's do weird...

Oh well!
Meanwhile...

Hot Rod sat down outside of the Ark, looking at the night sky with a frown on his face.

'Tsuruno...where are you...?' He thought to himself as he looked at the crescent moon in the sky and clenched his hand that was on the ground into a fist, not caring about the dirt that got on his paint as he looked at the ground with an angry glare. Do far, the girls are still looking for Tsuruno, but for now he has to keep an eye (or in this case an optic) on Sana and Felicia.

Why couldn't he go with Yachiyo and Iroha? It's so unfair! Does Optimus even know how worried he is about her?! She's his guardian for Primus's sake! He's supposed to help so why is he just sitting here doing nothing but wait for her to come back?!

"Hot Rod?" A gentle kind voice spoke to him and he turns his head to see Cheetor standing there, looking at him with worry with his yellow optics.

Hot Rod instantly puts on a (fake) smile once he realizes it was him. "Oh, hey Cheetor, what's up? Aren't you supposed to keep an eye on Sana and Felicia?" He asks him. Trying to reassure him that nothing was wrong, but he should know Cheetor, despite the innocence in him the guardian should know when something is wrong with his friends.

"Song is looking after them for me, right now she put them to sleep so she would let me talk to you." He said, making the race car chuckle. Honestly that girl was like an overprotective mother when it comes to those two, but mostly when it comes to Sana the most.

"She also wanted me to make sure that you were okay...ever since Tsuruno was kidnapped, everyone had noticed that you haven't been acting like yourself at all, even Optimus has been concerned about your health." He said, making Hot Rod curse silently in his processors as he tries to laugh it off, trying to act like he was alright.

"You guys are worrying too much! I'm completely fine! Nothing's wrong with-"

"HOT ROD!" Cheetor shouts at him, making Hot Rod jump at his sudden out burst and saw that Cheetor had a serious look on his face.

"Don't act like none of us had noticed! Your becoming more reckless whenever you go out on missions and you're always coming back here late at night! Sometimes you won't come back here until the sun rises and it's scaring both me and Bee! We know how much Tsuruno means to you and we care about her too but now that your just doing nothing when Optimus has ordered you to your only just staying outside until Iroha and the rest of the girls come back..." The Cheetah now had substance appearing in his optics and looked like he was about to break down, once Hot Rod noticed this he goes over to Cheetor and hugs him tightly, making the guardian let out a small gasp in surprise at the sudden action. He wasn't expecting for Hot Rod to do something like this.

"I'm sorry Cheetor." He whispered softly and kept a tight grip on him. "I just...Tsuruno was...she was so different from other humans. Despite how I am, she always encourages me into being myself, she even encourages me to believing that I could become a great leader one day. But I...I feel like maybe I've been relying on her too much. And I haven't been good at protecting her either." He felt his voice starting to crack as he grips tighter onto his best friend, making Cheetor look at him in sadness and slowly rubs his back as he hears the bit let out a sob for the first time.

He was shocked since he never really had heard anyone else of the bots cry before at all. Iroha mentioned that even some creatures have feelings as well, did that include Cybertronians as well? He wasn't able enough to think of an answer as he hears Hot Rod speak his next words that made his spark sink.

"I've been relying on her so much...and because of that k kept thinking that maybe it was all my fault that she had been brainwashed. If I had just gone with the girl's instead of standing around and doing nothing..." He was cut off when he sees Cheetor shake his head and pull away from him.

"Hot Rod, Tsuruno would never blame you for the events that had happened back at the memory museum. None of us knew the truth about these poor girls until now, but the past is the past. And if Tsuruno thinks that she has to be "the mightiest" in order to help us, then it is our turn to have her rely on us. In fact...all of the girls need to rely on us, now that we also know the complete truth about the secrets of their powers..." He looks down with a frown, pausing for a moment as he felt Hot Rod look up at him with his substance starting to slow down before he continues to speak and choose his words carefully.

"Like them. We didn't want those girls to be apart of a war that our kind is in, but now that we know this truth we cannot just leave them alone to just be full of sadness. They don't want to be turned into witches, and none of us want them to be turned into witches either." He looks at Hot Rod and softly smiles at him.

"Which is why no matter what, we will be there to keep them safe from pain and suffering, we won't let them believe that they have to be forced into the Magius's plans and let them think that harming other humans can bring them the salvation that they could wish for." He said, making the fiery mech stay quiet and look down and think for a moment before taking a deep breath and looks at Cheetor with a sad smile on his face.

"I'll do the same...once we get Tsuruno back, this time I'll dedicate myself to become a better guardian for her and keep her safe no matter the cost. This I swear on my spark." He said and let's go of Cheetor and chuckles as he clasps a servo on his shoulder. "Thanks a bunch Cheetor, I needed that a lot." He said, making Cheetor softly smile on his face.

"Your welcome! Anything to be as much help as possible for the Autobots! Once we get Tsuruno back, let's go and have her watch us race again then after that once we get ourselves our own holograms we can have her make us her favorite food from her shop, how about that?" He asks the bot, making Hot Rod laugh.

"I think she would like that a lot man!" He said as they then talked the night away as Hot Rod kept his thoughts to himself.

'Don't worry Tsuruno. I'll be sure to bring you back home. Once we do bring you back we'll have you make us your favourite food on the Hot Pot. And I'll be sure to help you too this time! And I'll also be there for you every step of the way, I promise."
