It had been an arguably busy day at Concur ever since Crystal had woken up from her stasis. After they had gotten back from their drive yesterday, Crystal was quite thankful that she could still transform into her bot mode, much to Jack Darby's amusement.

Crystal had her rear wheels just above her ankles and her headlights around her shoulders. A smart design, and one that she was thankful for. Now with a protective outer shell of armour, Crystal felt slightly more confident in her chances of survival. Since telling Optimus Prime about the imminent attack, he had arranged for the Wreckers to rendezvous at Concur Mountain in battle preparation.

Their morning had begun with a loud screech of tyres as an orange and red car with flames painted on its hood burst into the shed and woke everyone up.

"'Skies are clear, no enemies on the ground, done a full perimeter check. Ultra Magnus should be on his way, Sir." The loud arrival had stated to Optimus when Crystal had joined the scene a few moments later.

Optimus bid him thanks and told him to rest when they caught sight of Crystal.

"I see that you've finally chosen an alt-mode," Optimus nodded in approval before he gestured to the car with flames. "This is Hot Rod, a scout assigned by Ultra Magnus - his team shouldn't be too far behind."

More names and faces to remember, Crystal frowned. She hadn't meant to come off as pessimistic, but there was hardly enough room for her to remember how to even transform in her brain module.

"'Sup kid?" Hot Rod grinned as he placed his servos on his hips and grinned at her.

"Hi," she frowned at him.

"Sheesh, tough crowd." The rowdy sports car brushed it off. "Sorry for waking you."

He then left down the hallway from which she had just come. Optimus noticed her closed-off personality and narrowed his optics in thought before he turned to address Crystal. "The sudden influx of more of our forces is nothing to worry about, Crystal. Please go get some rest or Energon. I will be informing Chromia to take you to training today."

"Ok," Crystal nodded with a bit more enthusiasm. She did miss the blue femme, so seeing her again would no doubt be a pleasant experience.

So off to grab some Energon she went when she walked down the hallway and ran into Team Prime. She hesitated by the door with her timid optics on Jazz as he threw his helm back and laughed. He was casually leaning against the stack of Energon cubes and sipping one cube. Across from him was who she presumed were Prowl with the unimpressed face and Bluestreak who was nudging his lookalike with childlike joy. Blurr was too busy refuelling by the door to notice her. Standing at the entrance of the room, Crystal noticed how aside from the Autobots with human partners, only one member seemed to be missing from the room.

Fleece, the white motorcycle 'bot.
He must've been elsewhere and seeing how frosty he'd been when they first met, Crystal shrugged it off and took a few cautious steps inside.

"Crys!" She winced as someone called out to her. "Over here!"

She glanced up as Jazz grinned and waved her over. "Come in, come in! Don't be shy, cool kid."

She frowned and walked in until she noticed Hot Rod grabbing two cubes. He straightened up, turned and handed one out to her with a small smile. "Don't tell me you're like Prowl an' Ratchet."

"What?" Crystal raised an optical ridge at him.

"'You're not you without your Energon'." Jazz snickered which earned a swift glare from Prowl.
