"Lordes! Hop on!" Cade yelled as the cargo door opened. I helped Joyce get the seed up to the ship. As we started up the walkway, I noticed out the corner of my eye. I looked and saw a bot that looked like Bumblebee a little bit but it was a Magenta color. And it had it's blaster aimed right at us!

"Cade, guys, get down!" I shouted before everyone began to drop. As soon as the blast went off, Cade and I tried to pull the seed onto the ship while helping Tessa and Shane into it. But one blast went off and Cade, Shane, and Tessa all went falling out of the ship. Along with Bumblebee, Hound, Joyce, and the seed.

"Guys!" I was cut off by another blast hitting the ship, knocking me off my feet and causing one of the engines on the ship to catch fire.

"Shit!" I quickly got up and rushed out of there before the engine went boom. I rushed to where I saw the control panel and saw that we were crashing towards a mountain.

"Hang on!" I shouted as I flew out of the opening in front of them. I got in front of the ship, using all my strength to prevent the ship's fall. The moment my feet hit the ground, I tried to find anchorage in the ground and started digging my heel into the ground to slow it down.

"Come on, come on.." I muttered to myself as I felt myself slowing down. As soon as I stopped, I was still holding the entire ship and it shocked the hell out of me!

I quickly but gently sat the ship down before the cargo doors opened in the back.

"Everyone okay?" I asked as I watched the remainder of us exit off.

"We're fine. I think Alice just sprained her ankle, but that's about it." Raquel said as she helped Alice off the ship.

"Okay.. let's get her seated." I suggested as I helped Raquel move Alice to a small log not too far away. As soon as we sat her down, I looked at her ankle and saw that there was a purple and swollen ring around the entire ankle.

It wasn't sprained. It was dislocated.

"Okay, Alice. I need you to hold mine or Raquel's hand now." I began as Alice looked in fear at Lordes.

"For what?"

"Your ankle is dislocated. I'm going to try and put it back in place." I said as Alice shook her head in fright. "Alice, if I don't do this, your ankle will have an infection on the inside. I need to do this now!"

"I got her, Lordes. Alice, just hold my hand and look at me, okay?" Raquel asked as Alice shook her head and began to close her eyes.

"It's gonna be okay. Lordes, anytime now.." Raquel began as I nodded and I grasped Alice's ankle. She whimpered in pain and I closed my eyes.

Before I knew it, I put the ankle back in place. Alice had tears running down her face, but she didn't scream in pain or sobbed in pain, she just cried and sniffled.

Shoot, when my ankle was dislocated and Optimus popped it back into place, I sobbed loudly for at least a couple hours. It. Was. Rough.

"You good, Al?" Alice gave me a weak smile and a thumbs up before I nodded.

"Lordes! I think you might want to see this.." I heard Crosshairs call as I ran around the ship and looked to see Optimus and..

The Dinobots.

I smiled when I saw them. I wanted to run up to them and hug the life out of them. But, do you see the size of these boys!? They're freaking huge!

"I don't know how you do it, but I am not going to tame one of those things!" Crosshairs said as he backed away.

"Those 'things' are my friends! They may be specified as animals, but they have feelings too! Just like you! And I don't want to hear talk like that again! Understood?" I yelled as Crosshairs held his hands up in surrender.

"Fine, but still!" I rolled my eyes before I approached the Dinobots, who were just glaring into Prime's soul.

You dare to try and control me, bot?

"He's not trying to control you, Grim!" I yelled up to him as he looked down at me.

Lordes? You are still alive.

"Yeah. I'm here. And I'm also here because we need to work together. Whatever grudge you have on Optimus, I don't know what it is because you seemed nice to each other, whatever it is, put that aside so we can help each other." I said.

Optimus thinks playing mind tricks would get us to help him. Strafe said as I shook my head.

"No, he's not. He's trying to help you get your freedom. Just like me. I'm trying to help you get your freedom, too." I said as I looked at Prime.

He is doing nothing but trying to make himself look weak. A poor excuse for a Prime!

"Grimlock!" I yelled at him, but it didn't take time for him to start attacking Optimus. "No!"

I don't know what has gotten into Grim, but I needed it to stop. I went after him as he trying to smash Optimus with his weapon.

"Goddamit, Grimlock! Why are you so difficult?!" I whisper shouted before I dashed out of the way of Grimlock swing his weapon.

"Optimus, I need you to back away for a moment. I'm about to try something." I said as soon as I flew to his side.

"I don't know, Lordes.."

"Just trust me. Okay? Please." I pleaded as I looked to see Grimlock had just transformed into his Dino form.

Okay, that's never a good sign.

"Optimus! Just trust me!" I said as I looked back at Optimus. He looked at Grimlock before looking at him and backed away slowly.

I sighed softly before I faced Grimlock.

Lordes, move out of the way.

"No, Grim. I won't. I'm not going to let you hurt him. He's our ally and friend. He's not trying to hurt you." I said as he growled softly.

If you won't move, then I'll move you myself.

"Try me, I dare you to."
