"Lets do this." She explained.

She walked over to where the first piece of glass was lodged. She carefully stepped down into the vent. With the new metal suit, she grabbed ahold making sure it wasn't going to actually cut her. When she realized it wasn't going to, she held tight and started to pull.

"For a shard of glass, this is really heavy." She strained.

She lifted her foot up and pushed against the wall. With one more grunt and a push, she fell back and shard fell on top of her. She gave a loud moan, which got Shockwaves attention, but before he would do anything the door to the lab opened up. Having no idea if Shockwave left or someone came in she yelled for help.

"Shockwave? Was that Shelby I just heard yell?" Shelby recognized Knockouts appealing voice.

"She's pulling glass out of the molecular machine." Shockwave casually said.

"She's What?" Yelled Knockout. He ran over to the machine and looked inside. What he saw surprised him.

"Um Shelby?" He asked suspiciously.

He saw the glass shard laying on top of a black and pink body. He couldn't tell it was Shelby, he didn't know about the suit. He heard some mumbles coming from under the piece of glass. Knockout quickly reached in and pulled it off of the squished women. She retracted the suit and attempted to catch her breath.

"Thank...You.." She said in between breaths.

She stayed laying on her back. The suit was now back in the small gadget she got it in and was laying on her chest. She watched it rise up and down as she filled her lungs with air.

"What happened? What is that small black thing on your chest? And what were you wearing." The questions from Knockout kept on coming. Shelby held up her hand telling him to stop. She slowly sat up and the gadget fell into her lap.

"Can I come out now?" She asked now that she had her breath back.

Knockout nodded and brought his servo down for her to step on. She got on her hands and knees and crawled on. She then proceeded to lay on her back again. He brought her up to his face and put a digit on her chest.

"What are you doing?" She asked in a blank tone.

"Checking your heart rate. You seem to be having trouble breathing." He explained.

"Of course I'm having trouble breathing. A giant shard of glass just fell on me." She shouted pushing his finger off of her. He was taken aback by her.

"And again I ask, Why was there a shard of glass on top of you." He fretted over her.

"Oh because it is only logical that because of my size I was able to get into the vent and get the shard of glass out. You know because it was logical." She said with making quotations with her fingers. He opened his mouth as an understanding it was Shockwaves fault. "But he did make me this cool suit." She held up the gadget to him so he could see it.

They walked over to the magnify glass so he could see it. As he was taking a look at it, he started mumbling about it.

"Well it did save you, so I would say its safe to use." Knockout said handing it back to her.

"Think with this we can convince Megatron to let me leave the ship?" She said excitedly. Not wanting to upset her, he just gave her a nod and a half smile.

"Lets take you back to your berthroom so you can relax from your fun events today." He changed the subject and left the room.

He didn't want her near when he started yelling at Shockwave about what he made her do today. Shockwaves only thought with logic not about what harm it could cause later. They started walking down the hallways and Shelby was talking to Knockout about the suit. She thought it was the best thing ever. She was also surprised it came from Shockwave. Knockout told her he would ask him later on why he made it for her. It wasn't like Shockwave to do things for a human. Maybe she was growing on him.

Once they got to her room, and after she was set on her platform, she activated the armor again. She ran to the mirror in the bathroom and checked it out. Knockout sat with his arms resting on the shelf.

"I wish Dreadwing could see me now." Her smile slowly faded as she mentioned him.

"I know you miss him." Knockout whispered.

Knockout knew all about Dreadwing and how she brought him back. He seemed to be the only one that would listen. Not only listened but actually cared about it. He thought it was fascinating on how she did it. She pushed the pink button and retracted the suit. She stared at it, sitting in her hands. There was almost no weight to it. She turned around and looked up at Knockout.

"Do you think he's still alive? Do you think they got him to the generator in time?" She spoke in sadness.

Knockout knows he made it but Megatron made it clear not to tell her. He wishes he could let her know he was. He wanted her to know he was looking for her. That he almost got crushed by him because he wanted her back so bad.

She starts to sing, starting at a whisper, staring back at herself in the mirror.

I can see every tear you've cried

Like an ocean in your eyes

All he pain and the scares have left you cold

I can see all the fears you face

Through a storm that never goes away

Don't believe all the lies that you've been told

Ill be right here now

To hold you when the sky falls down

I will always

Be the one who took your place

When the rain falls

I won't let go

I'll be right here

I will show you the way back home

Never leave you all alone

I will stay until the morning comes

I'll show you how to live again

And heal the brokenness within

Let me love you when you come undone

*With Dreadwing*

I'll be right here now

To hold you when the sky falls down

I will always

Be the one who took your place

When the rain falls

I won't let go

I'll be right here

When daybreak seems so far away

Reach for my hand

When hope and peace begin to fade

Still I will stand

I'll be right here now

To hold you when the sky falls down

I will always

Be the one who took your place

When the rain falls

I won't let go

When the rain falls

I won't let go

I'll be right here

He remembered the first time she sang that song. He couldn't stop remembering it. Imagining it when he thought of her. Dreadwing never thought he would feel this way about someone, especially a human. He's been searching and searching since he woke up in the Autobots hanger. He only stopped when he needed energon and to recharge with the generator. The generator stays at the Autobots base. As much as he wants to stay at Shelby's home, Prime was right, it would be to dangerous for him to stay there. Ratchet has been monitoring her home since the trade. There has been nothing in the past for months. He flew over it the other day and it looked like a ghost town.

The barn was in more ruins than the last time he was there. The roof was now all the way caved in. The wall at the end off the barn had fallen down completely. Nature had started to consume it. The house seemed to have a dark eerie look to it now. Leaves were scattered everywhere as it was now becoming fall. Everything looked abandoned. No one was there to keep it looking nice. The trails throughout the acres were starting to become overgrown. It hurt his spark to know that he couldn't do anything about it. That the women who lived there might never come home to fix it. It had made him more determined than ever.

He was taking a rest on top of the base. Thinking about all of this. About how much he wanted her back. It was now that he decided he was going avenge her and his brother. Megatron may not have taken Skyquake from him, but he did take the girl who brought him back. A brave women who showed him kindness. She changed his spark. It was hard for him to finally realize it, but now he knew. Now he knew that he wasn't going to lose her too. He looked into the horizon. Hoping to catch a glance at the Nemisis. Hoping he would find it. He had too.

"Dreadwing" Called Ratchet.

"Dreadwing here." He answered.

"We found some Decepticon activity." Ratchet explained.

"On my way down." He said. He made his way down to the inside of the base.

He walked over to the monitors to see where the activity was. Integrating with the others who have gathered around Ratchet.

"Looks like they found another energon mine." Stated Arcee.

"With our levels low we need to go." Optimus claimed. "Ratchet open the ground bridge." The whirring of the ground bridge opening was heard.

"Can I come with? Maybe Dreadwing will flatten Knockout this time and I got to get pictures." Miko blurted. Dreadwing rolled his optics at her and continued thought the vortex.

"Miko stay here." Bulkhead ordered, but knowing already that the small girl wasn't going to listen.

Optimus was already through, Arcee and Bumblebee made there way with Bulkhead following last to make sure Miko didn't follow.

On the other side of the bridge, Dreadwing, Optimus, Bee, and Arcee had already started fighting the cons. Dreadwing had Knockout pinned down. Dirt covering the two.

"Where is she?!?!" Dreadwing snarled.

"I don't know who your talking about." Knockout snickered to him. This only made Dreadwing more furious than he already was.

"Don't toy with me Knockout!" He growled.

Knockout got a hit in and the two were up. Knockout had his electric staff out, while Dreadwing was using his sword. They went back and forth, each getting a blow. Knockout was able to get a good stab at Dreadwing, which brought the angry bot to his knees. Knockout bent down in front of him, continuing to electrocute him.

"She's much happier now. We are taking very good care of her." He whispered into Dreadwing's audio receptor after he finally stopped shocking him.

"I know that's not true." Dreadwing huffed. Trying to catch his breath, he slowly stood up.

Before there could be anymore arguing, the sound of screaming stopped everything. The other bots had already taken down most of the vehicons.

"Miko!" Bulkhead yelled and started running to the voice.

She was cornered by three vehicons. Scared, she started screaming, hoping they would hear her. Which they did and Bulkhead went to save her.

"I told you not to come Miko." The sound of disappointment was heard as he talked. He walked with her back out to the rest of the fight. Knockout took this opportunity to flee the scene. Dreadwing wasn't going to let him get away that easily.

"Soundwave, I could really use a bridge right now." He said after transforming into his vehicular mode.

He hadn't noticed Dreadwing flying behind him. The blue and green swirling vortex opened. Knockout drove though. Just before it could close, Dreadwing was able to make it though.
