During the days ever since the Autobots rescued me from the Nemesis until today, I have been having vision of memories that were once locked up in my processor. I remember why I came to Earth, and I remember what Megatron meant by 'traitor'. Everything came back to me. I know why the Leader of the Decepticons wants the location of the secret Autobot base hidden deep in Iacon. Now, I have explaining to do, and they're waiting. Their optics are all on me, piercing through my armor with their gaze of hatred. All but two though; Optimus and Ratchet. Ratchet's optics doesn't have hatred but sadness, and I know why. When he was cleaning my shoulder-plate, the Decepticon's logo appeared. They didn't waste a minute to strap me down and point weapons at me. I got scared.
I took a deep breath and let it out, then I spoke with all honesty. "Now that I remember almost everything, I will tell you. Yes, I was a Decepticon. I believed every lie Megatron whispered into my audio processor; therefore, I joined his cause. I was put in charge of delivering energon to other Decepticons. Later during the war, his true colors slowly began to reveal. I began to hate him, and I didn't believe all of the promises, for I know he will never keep. I couldn't stay with him any longer, so I went to Optimus Prime. I had a warm welcome with guns and swords pointed at my spark, but I gave my reason to why I wanted to switch sides. When I became an Autobot, I began to secretly sent energon to the Autobots in Iacon. When Megatron caught me, I attacked him, scratched his face, and fled." I stopped for a minute before continuing. "Later on, I learned that you guys needed some energon, so I volunteered to deliver them; however, it appeared that Megatron was waiting for me, for he sent one of his followers to attack me. The ship began to leak and it was caught on fire. Of course, the energon exploded, helping the whole ship explode, and that's the end of the story."

The Autobots looked at each other then back at me; they deactivated their weapons. "We're sorry, Akirah!" Bulkhead said. His optics showed sadness. Sadness to how he pinned me down, so Arcee could strap me.
I smiled. "It's okay, Bulk." When I first joined the Autobots, I was taught to forgive.
Arcee sighed and unstrapped me. "Why didn't you tell us when you first came?"
I closed my optics and sighed as well. "I told you I lost my memories." I hate repeating myself, but that's okay. I'm letting it go.
Now that everything is going well once again, I walked up to Bumblebee. "Bee, do you want to go out for a drive? Maybe race?" I winked.
Bumblebee nodded and beeped. I started to love racing ever since I was able to walk and drive again. We got out of the base and transformed into our vehicle form; we drove off.

After a while of driving and racing, a third car started to follow us. I immediately recognized the red color scheme. "Knockout!"
Bumblebee beeped a question.
"It's Knockout!" I yelled over the com.link. Why was he following us?! I don't even think I need to know the answer.
'We will separate and meet at the base!' Bumblebee beeped over the communication.
I didn't waste a second to take the next turn, and drive as fast I could; Knockout followed me. "He's after me!"
'Try to get him lost!'
"I will try!" I took another turn and drove outside the city; Knockout was still hot on my trail. Why do I have a feeling that Megatron sent him after me to bring me back to the ship?! I tried to lose him, but a green portal stopped me from doing so; I transformed. That was not our ground bridge because something felt funny about it. Suddenly, I found myself lying on the ground with several Vehicons, plus Knockout, looking down at me. Slowly, I slipped back into the dark world from the hit I got on my head. Primus help me~!

Akirah slowly opened her optics to find herself in a familiar room. -They caught me once again!- She yelled in her mind. When Akirah thought she was strapped down like last time, she didn't bother to move, so she only looked around; she wasn't alone. There were two bots talking to each other right next to her. Akirah immediately closed her optics, pretending she's still unconscious, as she listened to their conversation.
"So she forgot her memories once again?!" Megatron repeated what the medic has just told him.
"It would appear so, my liege." Knockout replied. "I can't read anything off of her processor. I believe from the hit she received, she lost her memories; however, she didn't lose all of them."
"Explain."
"This femme, my liege, lost her memories of being an Autobot but not a Decepticon. In other words, she's back to our cause." Knockout smirked as Megatron began to laugh evilly.
Akirah couldn't believe what she's hearing. How could he say she lost all her memories of being an Autobot when she remembers them clearly. -There must be something going on in my processor that's forbidding them from seeing it.- She thought.
"It was a good idea to unstrap her, my liege. We don't want her to think about anything suspicious." Knocked said.
"Yes. And I will make Soundwave watch her closely just in case you were wrong, doctor." Megatron said as he looked at the bot coming in, Soundwave. Soundwave didn't need to hear him order anything, for he got it the first time; he activated the spy cam. in the med.bay.
"Believe me, Lord Megatron, I would never call myself a doctor if something I say ever was wrong."
"We shall see about that. Make sure you don't mention her being an Autobot when she wakes up. I want her to believe she's still a Decepticon." Megatron turned around and slowly walked out of the med.bay followed by Soundwave to leave the doctor and the patient alone.
Knockout sighed and turned to look at Akirah. "Open your optics, I know you're awake!"
-I can play this game very well!- Akirah opened her optics and looked at Knockout with a confused face expression. "W-where am I? Who are you?!"
Knockout's red optics widened. -So she really did lose her memories!- He smiled. "You're at the Nemesis' med.bay."
"The med.bay? Ah~!" She held the side of her head where she got hit as she sat up.
Knockout put his servos on her shoulders and gently pushed her down. "You must rest, for you have been hurt real bad."
"What happened?"
"The Autobots, that's what!" He sighed and let out another lie. "You were their prisoner for a long time. They put you under stasis to plant a chip that will make you obey their ever command. When Soundwave finally picked up your energy signal, Lord Megatron ordered me to got and get you. Of course, the Autobots won't allow it, so a little battle happened. As the troops were distracting the enemies, I immediately brought you here, scanned you, took out the chip, and fixed your dents."
-What a good liar! I almost believed you, Knockout.- Akriah rubbed her head. She knows the truth all along, but she remembered that Soundwave has the ability to read minds. -I must be extra careful of what I think!-
"As to who I am," he distracted the femme from her thoughts, "I am Knockout. I'm this ship's medic.
Akirah raised a brow-ridge. "I thought that was Shockwave."
"Yes, well, Shockwave, as I've heard, had an accident that killed him."
Akirah's optics widened. That is one knows she never knew about. -Meh-.
Another question popped on her mind. "Can I please see that chip you were talking about?"
"Huh? Oh, no."
"No?"
"It's because I got rid of it, so the Autobots won't find you. Lord Megatron's order. I'm sorry about it."
All the time Knockout has been explaining, Akirah couldn't take her optics off of his red ones for some reason. It was like she got hypnotized. She just nodded her head overtime he came to a full stop. Something inside began to grow as her gaze followed him, watching his every move. Knockout noticed it, but he pretended to not notice anything, for femme bots are very shy when it comes to this kind of subject.
"Very well, I suggest that you take a nap because you need it. I have given you a medicine, and it requires for you to be asleep to work. I will be here if you need me." The medic with the red color scheme walked over to his dest and began reading a data pad. Akirah, on the other hand, closed her optics only to think about Knockout without a reason why.
