The two robots collided as Arcee took advantage against the bigger Barricade. She hits some ninja like strikes at him that makes his step back and block them with some struggle.

Michael and Mikaela watch from the side as they witness two sentient robots that turn into vehicles fighting each other. They never expected to see such a scene happening in real life and this close. From them transforming into vehicles to Robots, to having weapons that are more powerful than a rocket launcher.

Mikaela: What is going on?

Michael: I...I don't know. They're talking robots that transform and fight.

Arcee lands in front of Barricade and punches him several times. However, he shrugs it off as he looks down at her. Arcee glares back before dodging his blade weapon and starts flipping and hand-standing away.

Suddenly, he gets blasted by gun, which knocks her down. Michael and Mikaela flinched as they look with worry as Barricade charges and tackles Arcee. He then throws her through a building as he brings out him weapon.

Arcee jumps out and kicks him down. She then withdraws some blasters from her hands and fires at Barricade.

Some hit him but he wasn't fazed enough to stand down as he transforms and hits her with his car mode and transforms back to smack her away.

Arcee lands on her feet before pulling two blades from her arms and strikes Barricade with them. She blocks his attacks before hitting a slash on his Face Plate, bringing him down.

Arcee points her blasters at him until Barricade picks up a metal frame and smacks her with him. He then grabs her and tosses her away before charging at her.

Mikaela: Michael, we need to go! *grabs his arm*

Michael: We can't just leave her alone. She'll might get killed. *sees her get knocked away*

Mikaela: I know. But what can we do? They're taller and stronger than us. We can't do anything but watch and leave.

Michael grunts but he knew she was right. Still he wants to help Arcee as she did protect them from Barricade. Then he sees something and gets an idea.

Michael: You know how to hot wire a vehicle?

Mikaela: Uh, yeah. Why?

Michael: Gonna need something heavy for this.

*back at the flight*

Barricade swings his spinning blade at Arcee, sending her through a shed. Arcee groans as she goes to get up before she gets stomped by the evil cop robot.

Barricade: You Autobots think your so strong to rebel against the Decepticons. I would find it pitiful, if I didn't care.

Arcee: *grunts* How else did we managed to last the war for millions of years?

Barricade: Pure luck. And now *points his gun at her face* it has finally ran out, Rebel.

Arcee glares defiantly at it as Barricade goes to fire, until...

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

They turn to see a semi truck crashing through a building as it drives towards them. Inside, Michael is seen behind the wheel as the gas paddle was being pushed down by a cinderblock. He drives directly towards Barricade who was too surprised to move away.

Barricade: What in the-

Michael: Get off my bike, Punk!

Michael goes for full throttle and jumps out of the truck as it charges at Barricade at full speed, crashing into him and dragging against the walls of a building, and a explosion occurs.

Arcee stood up and turns to Michael who was getting up. She was surprised by this as she thought he would run off, seeing that it would be difficult to help her. However, she was proven wrong as Michael did that to save her from being killed.

Michael gave a salute to her before he quickly leaves the scene as Barricade pulls himself out of the rubble but was then punched away by Arcee. Arcee lands some heavy strikes before she picks up a large pipe and smacks Barricade away.

The evil Decepticon lands close to a tower as Arcee sees it and fires at the support beams. Soon, it comes tumbling down, exploding and burying Barricade beneath the rubble.

Arcee looks on, waiting for Barricade to stand up and attack. Fortunately, he didn't and she sighed as she stood up and walks off to meet with the humans.

*with Michael and Mikaela*

Mikaela: I cannot believe you just did that. You could've gotten yourself killed by that stunt.

Michael: I know...but that was sick! And plus, it helped her out so, yeah. It worked.

Mikaela: I can't with you, Michael. Even after all this time, yo always finds ways to get yourself into harms way. But...I'll admit. That was pretty cool...and very of brave of you to do that.

Michael: Really?...Thanks. And hey, you hot wired it, so you gotta have some credit for that.

Mikaela: Yeah. Thanks.

Soon, they hear heavy footsteps as they look up and see Arcee approaching them. The area went silent as the tall female robot looks down at the young humans who're close to the height of her legs.

Mikaela: *whisper* So, what now? What do we say to...her?

Michael: *whisper* I don't know. Just act natural.

They approach her as Michael begins to speak.

Michael: Uh...hey. Uh...I was gonna introduce ourselves, but I guess you may have already know who we am.

Arcee: Yes. You're Michael James Levesque McMahon. 17 years old, and that girl with you is Mikaela Banes, same age, and same year in High School.

Mikaela: She knows me, too?

Michael: I guess so.

Arcee: I've been listening to your conversations these past few days. So, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Arcee and as you can tell, I'm not from around here.

Mikaela: So you're an Alien, right?

Arcee: Affirmative.

Michael: Then, what is going on? What was that thing? What does it want from me? And how come you two have a lot of hate for each other?

Arcee: I can't answer those questions, right now. They'll be answered soon. You had enough problems for today.

Mikaela: Yeah. Today was pretty crazy.

Michael: Big understatement.

Arcee kneels down to them as she stare at the teens, mostly Michael. Michael looks at her blue glowing eyes as he gets a closer look of her face. He helmet resembles Princess Leia from Star Wars, and she has a faded pink face with some blue highlights.

She looks remarkably like a human for a Robot, he thought to himself. Suddenly, she frowns as she raises a finger and lightly taps Michael on the head. It wasn't hard enough to bust his head open, but enough to hurt him a little.

Michael: Ow! What was that for?!

Arcee: Running away from me last night and today.

Michael's eyes widen, surprised that she knew it was him last night.

Michael: How?

Arcee: You have a distinct run cycle. You running from me today confirmed it was you that saw me last night.

Michael: ...Damn.

Mikaela: So that's way you were acting that way earlier.

Michael: Yep.

Arcee: And by the way, that stunt you did just now was insanely reckless and stupid. You could've gotten serious hurt by that, maybe even killed if you're not being careful. I get that you wanted to help, but even you know you cannot risk your life like that, Michael.

(Don't know why, but I read most of Arcee's dialogue from her TFP voice actress, Sumalee Montano, have you guys too?)

Michael stares at her and looks down, admitting she was right about that. He was so caught up with wanting to help her, he ignored the fact he was endangering himself. Geez, he felt like being scolded by his parents all over again. This time, being scolded by a giant female transforming robot.

However, Arcee's expression softens as she lifts Michael's head up with one of her Digits to look at her.

(Digits are Transformers ways of saying Fingers. I'm gonna try to have the Transformers Terminology and Human Terminology separate)

Arcee: But...I can't say that I don't appreciate the assist. I was really in a predicament until you rammed him off me. It was very brave of you help me, even if you were scared of me. Thank you.

Michael looks at her and smiles.

Michael: You're welcome. I understand that what I did was reckless...and stupid. And we have gotten on the wrong foot earlier...but I can't help but want to help you when you're in trouble. And thank Mikaela, too. She was the one that hot wired it for me to use.

Arcee: I see.

Mikaela: No need to thank me. Just doing my best to help Michael.

Arcee I understand, Mikaela. Now, you two have been through enough trouble for one day. I'm going to take you two you home to relax and rest for the night. Tomorrow, I'll explain what is going on.

They teens nodded as Arcee transforms into her motorcycle mode.

Both: Woah.

Michael: Hey, where's the woman that was riding you earlier?

Arcee: This?

Soon, the woman appears as she looks at them. Then, she spoke with Arcee's voice being spoken.

Arcee: This is my Holoform. I used it to help the "hiding in plain sight" thing.

Mikaela: That's honestly awesome and smart.

Michael: Indeed. It would be weird being seen driving without a driver.

Arcee: *makes her Holoform disappear* True. Now, let's get you kids home.

They nod as they sat on top of her and she speeds off. In the background, Barricade crawled out of the robot, looking hurt and damaged. He growls as he needs to get into emergency stasis lock to prevent further damage.

Barricade: Starscream...the Autobots live among the fleshlings on this planet! *goes into Stasis Lock*

*later*

Michael, Mikaela, and Arcee arrive at Mikaela's home to drop her off.

Michael: Well, see you tomorrow, Mikaela. Sorry I got you into this mess.

Mikaela: It wasn't your fault. I should've stayed back, but I thought you needed help.

Michael: It's okay. We didn't know what was going to happen.

Mikaela: Yeah. And by the way...

She pulls out a napkin and wipes the blood on his lips and chin off him. It was difficult as it had already dried up, but she managed to clean most of it.

Mikaela: It's not much, but I felt it would be enough so your sisters won't get scared.

Michael: Thanks, Miki.

Mikaela: Also-

Mikaela punches him in the arm.

Michael: Ow!

Mikaela: That's for scaring me.

Michael: As I said, it-

Michael shuts up as he stares at her.

Mikaela: That's for protecting me...and everything else.

Michael smiles as nods and he and Arcee drove off. Mikaela watches them and smiles before going to her house.

*with them*

Arcee: So...are you courted?

Michael: What?

Arcee: You and Mikaela. Are you two bonding?

Michael: What? No! It's not like that.

Arcee: Hmm...I call Slag. You two are definitely courted or soon to be.

Michael: What does that even mean?

Arcee: In human terms, you two are dating.

Michael: Seriously? We're not dating. She just broke up with her Ex, and I don't think she's looking for someone else so soon.

Arcee: I don't think she needs to look for a sparkmate, Michael. I think she found one already-

Michael: Okay, let's stop talking about this and drive off, please?

Arcee: I think you're just making excuses to not admit I was right.

Michael: No! I...uh...S-SHUT UP!

Arcee chuckles as Michael rolls his eyes.

*back at home*

Aurora: Michael hasn't come yet.

Tania: Don't worry, Rory. He's coming. I'm sure of it.

Murphy: I think we should call him. He might be busy with something and-

Soon, Michael arrives as everyone looks at him. They can tell his clothes are ragged and dirty, and he looked like he went through a fight or something.

Michael: Sorry. Got delayed, and it took longer than I-

Soon, Aurora, Murphy and Vaughn ran and hugged him. They didn't care that he was dirty and sweaty, they're glad their older brother is here and okay. Michael sighs as he hugs them together.

Aurora: Don't stay out to long.

Michael: Sorry, Rora. I promise to get home  as soon as possible.

Murphy: You better. We were worried sick about you.

Michael: I know. I apologize for making you three worry. Sorry for the trouble, Tania. Let me pay you triple for-

Tania: No, it's okay, Mike. I don't mind, just glad you arrived soon.

Michael: Thank you. Have a good night. You have the week off.

Tania: Thank you. Good night, everyone.

Aurora/Murphy/Vaughn: Bye. Goodnight.

Tania nods as she leaves the house.

Michael: Have you three ate?

They nodded.

Michael: Then let's get you three settled to go to sleep.

*later*

After they all took a bath and Michael reading a story for Vaughn, the girls went to sleep. He then goes to the garage and closes the door.

Michael: They're asleep.

Arcee: And what about you?

Michael: Soon. Just want to talk with you.

Arcee: The questions will answered tomorrow, Michael. Just rest-

Michael: Not that. About you.

Arcee: Me?

Michael: Yeah. I mean, you've known a lot of about me since the week before. So, I felt I should get to know you more as well.

Arcee: I see. I don't think you'd be able to understand about me, Michael. It's complicated and I doubt it would be interesting to you.

Michael: Well, I'm open for understanding you. And listening to some stories you have as it's always fascinating, even if it's little or not.

Arcee: *smiles* Okay, then. *sat down* What do you want to talk about from me?

Michael sat in front of her as the two proceed to talk a lot about each other. Both reacted differently to the stories they told to one another, either laughing, sympathy, disgust, and emotional.

*some time later*

Michael: So, you were pink before coming here?

Arcee: Yes. I later changed my paint scheme to what I have now. At first I thought it was serviceable, but as the years went on, I like how I look on it.

Michael: I see. Once, I didn't like the black leather jackets and cool looking outfits as I was trying to be the more responsible son in my family. But then, I decided to try it out and man, did I look good with them.

Arcee: *chuckles* Not so responsible now, are you?

Michael: Nope. Just Bad. Badtastically Good. *winks*

They laughed as Michael checks the time and sees it's 3:00 AM.

Michael: Shit. I was so busy talking to you that it got so late. *stands up* I need to go to sleep. Do you...go to sleep?

Arcee: I recharge. That way I can save the energy I have and build up more. And Primus knows I need it after that fight with the Con.

Michael: True. Anyway, I'll be going to my room. Good night, Cee. Could...I call you that?

Arcee: Of course. Rest easy, Michael. And have the glasses prepared. Tomorrow is gonna be big.

Michael: Gotcha. You too, Cee.

Michael goes to leave before he turns to Arcee and smiles.

Michael: You...out of all the ways to start my Summer Break...this is most shocking and awesome. Glad I got to know you better.

Arcee smiles as Michael enters his home and closes the door.

Arcee: Such a good kid. Reckless and foolish...but has his Spark on the right place. *communicates* Optimus, Michael and a friend of his knows of our existence. We got to the Tell.

Optimus: Affirmative. They need to know what is going on to repay what they've gone through. We'll be in Stanford, Connecticut soon, Arcee. For now, recharge for the night.

Arcee: Understood. Arcee out.

Arcee ends the contact before transforming into her Vehicle form and goes into recharge mode.

How's the chapter?

What did you think of the fight?

Did you expect Michael turning the tide?

What did you think of the interaction between Michael and Mikaela?

And what about Arcee and Michael?
