The footsteps near the sound of Shelby's and Smokescreens voices. The sound of a weapon unsheathing is heard. Shelby brings her head up quickly and looks up outside.

"Who are you?" She curses, standing up fast. She has her pistol in her hand faster than Smokescreen could stand up.

"I asked you a question." She yells louder, pointing her weapon at him.

Smokescreen has yet to say anything. Unsure if he should intervine with the confrontation. The white bot stood in a warrior stance, his katanas pointed at the girl. He has a face shield covering his mouth. He has a red and green V on his torso, and red and green accenting along his body.

"Smokescreen has Wheeljack arrived?" Optimus asks over the comm.

"Yeah he just showed up." He coms back. Hearing this, both Shelby and Wheeljack put their weapons down. Wheeljack pulls his face shield back.

"So your Smokescreen." Wheeljack puts his katanas back behind his back. Shelby still has her weapon in her hand, but it is lowered.

"Yes and this is Shelby." Smokescreen introduces to him, then he turns to Shelby, "Its okay he's an Autobot."

Shelby gave Wheeljack a unconvinced look, but still put her weapon away. Wheeljack kneels down to get closer to Shelby.

"Don't worry I'm a Autobot. I just don't always follow Primes rules." He points out to her.

What he said seemed to appease her. She wasn't always one to follow rules. Especially when she first got into the military. As she got higher in rank, she calmed down with her antics and became more responsible. She had Marines to lead, and very sensitive equipment to take care of.

"Smokescreen please head back to base." They hear Optimus say.

"Roger that, sir" Smokescreen coms back.

"See you later, Shelby. Take care of her, Wheeljack. She's a feisty one." He chuckles before he heading through the ground bridge.

"Feisty ye? Bulkhead told me a little about you. But lets hear it from you." He suggests to her, flashing a smile. All she does is turn around and gesture for him to follow. He follows her into the shop, where she sits down to finish cleaning her weapons and explain everything to him.

*Time skip*

"And I had a argument with Mr. Sunshine, the medic, but was able to convince Prime to let me go home. And that's where you come in." She finishes her story to the wrecker. He has been listening intently the whole time. He gave a small chuckle when she said sunshine. Still, She didn't know why. She doesn't really care enough to ask.

"So wanna go shoot some guns?" She stands up with her M16 resting on her hip and a magazine in her hand. Wheeljack puts a smirk on his face.

"After you." He smiles, bowing and gesturing towards the door.

She curtsies back, "Thank you." She says with a smirk and starts to walk out. She puts her weapons on the back of her ATV and hops on.

"We are going to the back part of my property. So we don't have to worry about shooting the house. And I got a range set up back there." She explains turning to him.

"Keep up." She shouts quick before driving off, leaving Wheeljack in the dust. He transforms and raced off after her.

He quickly catches up to her. Being a race car it was no problem. She looks behind and saw that he has caught up. She almost went off the trail staring in awe at his alt mode. He notices and starts to laugh, using it to his advantage. Thus, this makes her come back to her senses and look forward.

"Ahhh!" She shrieks bringing the ATV back on course, away from the tree she almost hit. She can't help but laugh out loud. They start heading into the woods, sunlight shines though the trees that hang overhead. They are both practically flying though the air, from going so fast and hitting some of the small hills that came up from the uneven ground. A shadow blocks out the sun from above, causing Shelby and Wheeljack to skid to a stop. Wheeljack almost hitting Shelby in the process. Wheeljack jumps into bot mode, katanas at the ready. The shadow flies forward, sending light back over the two on the ground.

"What was that?" Shelby asks, her breathing heavy as she stands up on the ATV, pistol pointed towards the sky. They watch the shadow fly off.

"I don't know, But I don't like it." Wheeljack grunts.

"Lets move" She orders.

Putting the pistol back in the holster and driving off. Wheeljack at her heels. They come to a clearing. Able to see the shadow much better. It is a jet, but not just any jet.

"Dreadwing?" Shelby questions hopefully.

The jet comes down closer to the earth. Shelby races to where she thought it would land. It then transforms right before it hit the ground. Wheeljack rushes in front of her, proceeding to shield his face. She can't see now.

"Stay behind me. That's not Dreadwing." He yells over his shoulder to her. And of course, she doesn't listen. She drives up beside him, pulling her M16 of the back of the ATV and pointing it at the con. Now getting a better look. She can definitely see that it is not Dreadwing.

"There are female cons?" She asks Wheeljack. It takes all of his will power to not laugh.

The feminine like con scoffs in disgust at the human. "I am a mech, you disgusting fleshling." scolds the con.

A tall, skinny, and different colors of gray, mech stands in front of them. He pointing his arm at them, that carried a red missile. "

Well maybe you should find new shoes then. Those high heels you got there give people to wrong opinion. Unless your a drag queen?" She questions to him with a smirk riding on her lips.

Wheeljack can't hold his laughter in anymore. Starscream looks at them in confusion. Not knowing what a drag queen was. He would have to look it up later, he thought to himself. After laughing for a few minutes, Starscream starts to get more angry.

"Enough!" He snaps to them. Keeping his missile pointed to them. The two stopped and pointed their weapons back at him.

"What do you want Starscream?" Wheeljack called out to him.

"I think you know what I want." He says looking at the girl with the M16 pointed right between his optics.

"Not gonna happen, screamer." Wheeljack spats at him.

"Megatron wants the human who can bring Cybertronian's back to life. She will be a good asset to our ranks. I will not leave here empty handed." Just as Starscream finishes, he shoots off his missile at the two.

They both jump out of the way as it hit the woods behind them. Shelby rolls and immediately got up and starts shooting the con. Wheeljack starts do the same. Starscream isn't sure who to go for. He is to busy trying to dodge the bullets being shot at him. Shelby is making sure to aim in between his armor.

Starscream soon decides he needs to make Megatron happy. He goes for the fleshling. Shelby dodges him easily.

"I need back up!" Starscream roars though his comm.

He starts fighting with Wheeljack, after Wheeljack jumped in front of the con while Starscream was running after Shelby. Shelby stops a few feet away, turned around and started to try and shoot, without hitting Wheeljack. She is slowly backing up, as they were moving forward. But she then backs into something. Lowering her weapon, she feels the metal wall behind her with her other hand. She slowly looks up. It is a giant purple con and its weapon is pointed straight at her.

"Don't shoot her, Megatron wants her alive. Grab her and go!" Starscream roars while trying to fight off Wheeljack.

There is no way Shelby is going to get captured by these freaks. She starts to dodge servos coming down at her. She feels like she is running though a mortar field. She flung her weapon over her back, holding the sling, and ran as fast as she could. She knows she doesn't have time to try and shoot them. They are to fast for her. As quickly as she could, she ran to her ATV and drives off. Wheeljack knocks out Starscream and goes after the drones following after Shelby.

Just as she pulls out to the open field, she takes a quick look back. Wheeljack has finished off the drones. She slows down and turns the ATV around and drives up to him.

"Holy shit!" She yells up to him.

They are both panting, trying to gain their breath. Not noticing the con behind them. Starscream shoots at Wheeljack, knocking him out immediately. Shelby looks up at the high heeled drag queen, showing no fear or any emotion at all. Her hand on her hip, pulling her pistol out. She knows she won't be able to get a good hit in with the pistol. The bullets she has are only for practice. She would have to get closer to do any real damage. Starscream has a missile aimed at her.

"It will be much easier, if you just surrender and come with me." He hints to her, smirking.

"In your dreams." She sneeres.

Before he could do anything else, the sounds of heavy metal feet land behind the women. She doesn't dare turn around, as already seeing Screamers face. He looks like he is about to pass out, in fear.

"RETREAT!!!
