AN: Junior year sucks. That's all I have to say, it sucks so much that it caused me to lose inspiration.

Transformers girl 1234: (1) Breaking Dawn, huh? I've never watched it so I didn't know that happened. (I'm indifferent to Twilight) :P (2) You have no idea how much I hated myself for doing that to 'Bee. (3) Well here's the next chapter!


"Stupid Autobots and stupid dream. There's no fragging way I was ever an Autobot ally," I grumbled to myself as I trudged along the forest.

If it was not obvious enough, the dream I had was bothering me since morning and I could not help but realize that my so-called real self was right about some things. For starters, none of the Autobots had the intention of hurting me when they saw me and they were clearly worried when I fought against them. Whatever it was, it made me unsure of who's telling the truth and who's not. I didn't have time to ponder such nonsense when I saw a green Jeep and a black Toyota driving along the dirt road.

"Perfect." I smirked to myself, getting ready to prevent those two Autobots from discovering our next plans. Pulling out my gun, I slowly began to point it the two Autobots. Waiting for the right moment to shoot, and waiting...and waiting...yes, perfect...

BOOM! BOOM!

Both the Autobots swerved off the road, transforming and in a battle position. Such fools, I continued shooting at them, if I could just keep this up they DEFINITELY won't be able to spy on us for the plans.

"Fragging 'Cons, show yourself!" The black Autobot shouted, pulling out his own gun. He probably thought that I was the other Decepticons because he aimed WAY above my head. As much as I know that I won't die from being shot, I most definitely do not want to die from being crushed by fallen trees. So I had to dodge any trees that happen to fall in my direction or try to shield myself if they fall dangerously close to me. Apparently the trees must have made me visible to the two Autobots because they saw me with widened optics (except the black mech had a visor on, but you know what I mean!) and shocked expressions.

"Sandra? Is that you?" The green Autobot asked me.

With no desire to be taken as a prisoner, I started to run off deep into the forest. Unfortuantely, the shoulderbag I was wearing got caught in one of the branches causing me to stumble and drop the bag in the process. Swearing to myself, I started to go back to get it back, but seeing that the two Autobots were approaching I had no choice but to leave it and run.

"Sandra, wait! Come back!" I ignored the cries and kept running. I currently didn't care if they take my bag with all my things in there, I won't allow myself to be captured! And besides, I could just find a way to get it back the next time I'm sent to secretly obtain information from the Ark...

Third POV

"Sandra, wait! Come back!" Trailbreaker shouted at the retreating girl. Ignoring his calls, the teen kept running until she was practically hidden from plain sight. The black mech sighed, they have to report back to Optimus about Black...Sandra's sabotage.

BlackStar. No Autobot would ever want to use that designation to address their closest human friend, Sandra is and will always be Sandra. Of course, sometimes they would call her by their own self-proclaimed nicknames whether Sandra liked it or not.

"Hey, Trailbreaker look at this!" Trailbreaker turned to see Hound holding onto a black shoulderbag. It was obviously Sandra's since whenever Sandra was carrying a bag she usually never takes it off. "It looks like it has all her things in it, she must've dropped it when we started her."

"Well, either way we have to report back to Prime. Even if we didn't catch her we still have something of hers to bring back."

Both Autobots transformed and rushed back to base. It didn't really matter that they were caught off guard . What mattered was that they had obtained what is taking them one more step to getting their friend back.

At the Ark

Optimus was staring intently at the screen of Teletraan-1, trying to figure out what the Decepticons were up to. He was brought out of his thoughts when Hound and Trailbreaker pulled up and transformed.

"You both are back early. Have you discovered what the Decepticons are up to?"

"No sir. While on patrol we were caught in an attack," said Hound.

"The Decepticons?"

"No...it was Sandra."

The Autobot leader took a deep, shaky breath. As much as he wished to deny that their friend would intentionally harm them, under the circumstances as a result of previous events forced him to accept the truth.

"She got away after we discovered that she was the one who ambushed us. But we did manage to obtain something that belongs to her." Hound pulled out the black shoulderbag that Sandra had dropped when she fled.

"That is a good item to retrieve from her. But I believe we're going to need more to convince Sandra that we speak the truth."

"No need, Optimus." The three Autobots turned to see Bumblebee running up to them and taking the bag. "What's inside is all the proof we need."

BlackStar's POV

Stupid Autobots. If they hadn't fought back and discovered I was their attacker I would probably have my bag right now with my iTouch. Right now I am so fragging bored!

Well whatever, Dad was still glad that I had at least prevented the Autobots from trying to spy on us. Though we are aware that the Autobots are going to find out sooner or later.

Right now I'm sitting here waiting as the other Decepticons were working on...well, whatever the slag there making. I obviously don't have a care in the world as long as it will work, and I know it will work.

"Do you really think the Autobots are going to show up? I mean, c'mon they're guarenteed to lose anyway!" I asked.

"Patience, my dear," said Dad. "In due time I will allow you to inflict pain on those you wish for them to suffer the most."

I smirked, I already who they would be. As if it was a coincidence I see the familiar alt-forms of the Autobots driving our way. Perfect, a great opportunity to taunt the Autobots some more. I was cut off from my self-gloating when a gun shot went off, golden light just narrowly missing my right side. I turned to glare at whichever Autobot was so stupid as to shoot me when I saw who it was.

That yellow Autobrat who went by the name Bumblebee. I must be going insane or something because I could see by the look of his expression that he seem to regret shooting at me. Regret? Really? I turned to Dad, who only gave me a smirk and nodded his head, gave me the approval to take him down. Pulling out my twin energon swords I jumped down right in front of him, intending to show no mercy.

"Sandra, I don't want to fight you," he pleaded.

"How many times do I have to tell you, my name is BlackStar!" I growled. Why do these annoying Autobots insist on using my old name? My new name doesn't sound pathetic! "Oh, you don't want to? Gee, you're a lot more pathetic than I thought! Come on and fight me, I dare you!"

"No," Bumblebee spoke in such a firm and stern voice that even I was caught off guard by the sudden change in tone. "You're name is Sandra, S-A-N-D-R-A! And I will not fight my sister!" He transformed and drove off into a nearby forest, leaving me in the dust.

"Hey, get back here you fragging coward!" I shrieked as I started to chase after him, vaguely aware of the firing gunshots that were made from behind. The forest was pretty thick so I used my energon swords to cut away at the tree branches that were in my way. I angrily cursed at that yellow Autobot for making me chase him and now making cut my way through. By the time the annoying foliage was out of my way I found myself...completely lost in the middle of a forest.

"Where the slag are you?! Come out and fight me you coward!" I shouted, hoping that Bumblebee and his other short friends would show up anytime soon. They didn't, and I was start to become angrier and angrier until I heard something that sounded like...

Music.

As the drums were beating in the song, I was quite confused as to what was going on...until the song start:

aa murasaki iro no hikari no naka ni yureru UFO

yume ga sameteiku asa gojihan no

me ni utsuru shuuen kimi wa UFO

What? No it can't be...

It was, it was that song...

Of course I know that song because...because...

It's a song from my iTouch...and...and...

hajikeru Astral Domination

It's by a group that my family and many of my friends never listen to or ever heard about! Vocaloid! Wait...what's going on? What am I saying? I couldn't ponder anymore questions as I felt my head starting to have a dull pain.

"Astral Domination? How...?"

"So you do remember the song."

I looked up to see Bumblebee and his fellow minibots finally deciding to show up at this time to outnumber me. I scowled at them.

"So I know what the name of the song is, big whoop! What's your point?"

"Our point, is that this song is from the very same device that you would always carry to listen to your music," grumbled a red and blue Autobot, folding his arms. "We know you, Sandra. Everyone knows how much music means to you."

"Pfft, that's a real pathetic attempt to trick someone if that's what you're doing . Why don't you fight me, just because I'm outnumbered doesn't mean I'll surrender easily!"

"Oh, I'd love a good fight against a Decepticon," said the red counterpart of Bumblebee. "But you're no 'Con, Sandra."

"Well, I'm no Autobot either!"

"That's where you're wrong Sandra." A gray minibot with red arms walked toward me. "If you're truly not an Autobot then would this really mean nothing to you?" He asked holding out one of his arms. When he opened his servo I noticed that in the center of his hand was a small Autobot symbol that was small enough to pin on a shirt as a badge. Before I could respond the dull ache in my head shot up sharply and before I knew it I started to see a vision.

Flashback

A fifteen year old girl walked inside Optimus Prime's office. Apparently, the Autobot leader wanted to discuss with her about something in private.

"You want to talk to me?" She asked, wondering if she was in trouble.

Optimus simply smiled down at her. "Yes, little one I only wish to have a chat with you. Don't worry, you are not in trouble."

The girl simply let out a sigh of relief as she hopped onto his hand and he placed her on top of his desk.

"Sandra, it's been a year since we've known you. For us it's time so little yet what you have done for us has made you earn a place in the Autobot army."

"Really?" Sandra was speechless for quite a while. "But I'm just a human and a lot of times I had to keep myself from getting killed from the Decepticons!"

"I have to disagree, you're selfless acts of bravery is all to prove that you are a brave soldier at heart. Not to mention how you have managed to reach your way into our sparks."

Sandra frowned, "I don't talk a lot and I don't like doing so either, so I really don't understand how I am able to be really close to all of you."

"That may be true yet you are kind and gentle though at times you can be quite impulsive and sarcastic." Optimus couldn't help but chuckle at Sandra's pouting expression. "These qualities are exactly why everyone trusts and care about you. We all feel that you are more than just a good friend, you're a part of our family."

"Wow," Sandra breathed. "I guess those fanfics don't lie."

"Agreed, that is why I want to present this to you." He held out his servo and Sandra saw a brooch sized Autobot symbol.

"Optimus, I-"

"Sandra Ai-ming Lin, will you accept the rank as an Autobot?"

Said girl was speechless, but not before she smiled.

"Yes, Optimus, I accept."

Flashback ends

By this time the dull pain lessened a little but nevertheless still very painful. I was no longer able to concentrate on who to attack due to the headache, and I was breathing quite heavily.

It can't be true! That girl can't be me, I'm not an Autobot! No, I'm not! Yet it seems logical, the girl looks just like me...oh, what is going on?

"Windcharger I think it's working." I heard the purple mech with an orange hood say, I'm surprised especially since he's quite pessimistic...oh, Primus what is wrong with me?!

"L...liar..." I rasped through the pain in my head. "You're all just trying to trick me."

"We're telling you the truth, Sandra!" Bumblebee insisted. "You can never forget about all of us. Not with this!" He held out what appeared to be a crystal necklace in both of his servos. Each crystal was diamond shaped and definitely not of any crystal on Earth, they were also each in a different color.

That did it. The searing pain became completely unbearable and I was hit with another vision.

Flashback

After a day of swim practice and tutoring Sandra was very exhausted. Today was her birthday and the only thing she wanted to do for rest of the night was reading Transformers fanfiction and going on Deviantart, watch Transformers, read manga, drawing, and listen to music until Saturday morning. While she was reading the second volume of Imadoki! her phone went off with a ringtone that tells her that she has a new message. Looking at the caller ID she saw that it was from Bumblebee.

Please come outside

Wondering why he would come at around ten at night she walked out of her room and slowly walked down the stairs to the living room and walked toward the front door.

Outside and one the sidewalk in front of the house was the yellow bug.

"Geez, 'Bee if you had to come this late at night to talk to me it must be very important."

"You could say that," said Bumblebee as he transformed and knelt down in front of his human friend. "See, since it's your birthday we want to give you this." He held out a box with a satin red bow on top and placed it on Sandra's hand. Wanting to savor the ribbon, Sandra slowly pulled on it and opened the lid of the box. Sandra gasped at the marvelous sight.

It was a crystal necklace, though the crystals were unlike any see had seen before and they were all in a different color.

"Bumblebee, this is beautiful!" Sandra gasped.

"Well," Bumblebee scratched at the back of his head. "We minibots thought that Earth crystals seem too...normal for a gift so we decided to use Cybertronian crystals instead."

"I can tell," Sandra giggled. "All the colors of the crystals represent each and every one of you guys!"

"Well, what great way to show how much we care for our sister?"

"But you're the only one here."

"Heh, well you know how proud they are. They just don't want to ruin their tough image."

"You guys are so sweet." Sandra went up to Bumblebee to give him a hug, who was more than happy to accept it.

Flashback Ends

Why is this happening to me? Have I been deceived this whole entire time?

No! That can't be, I'm BlackStar and I'm a Decepticon!

But those visions say that I'm Sandra and I was always an Autobot!

As I mentally fought I started to see more images starting to slip before my eyes and the pain was just too much!

Aaaaagh! Someone help me!

Third POV

The minibots watched in concern and alarm as the girl suddenly cried out in pain and was gripping her head. From where some of them were standing they could see her eyes spontaneously switching color from Decepticon red to normal brown. It also didn't help that she was breathing heavily.

"Help me..." BlackStar (or Sandra) managed to gasp out. "It hurts!"

From behind BlackStar Brawn knew that he had to do something. If this keeps us she may as well hurt anyone within her range or worse, herself. Of course as a proud mech he would never outright admit that he couldn't stand such an idea. While making sure that their friend was...preoccupied at the moment Brawn silently activated his holoform. His holoform made him look like a buff military soldier with silver hair. He wore a dark green sleeveless shirt, tan khaki pants and black boots. He was also wearing a pair of gray fingerless leather gloves. Slowly, he walked up behind her and picked up a long, slightly thick wood stick. Even if he didn't want to do it he really didn't have a choice.

"Hate to do this kid, but I gotta." Brawn then brought the stick down on her head, knocking her out cold. His holoform then disappeared and he caught BlackStar before she crumpled to the ground.

"She's not going to be happy once she wakes up," Powerglide pointed.

Brawn laughed, "Airhead could get mad at me for all she wants but she's going to thank me for it later." He gently cradled her like a fragile china doll so as to not jostle her to much.

All the minibots walked until the forest cleared and by the looks of the scene in front of them the Decepticons have retreated. And like the sparkless cowards they are they would intentionally leave their human friend behind.

"Too bad the Decepticons got away. At least we have Sandra back," said Sunstreaker.

Ratchet took BlackStar in his servos and scanned her body to make sure she suffered no internal injuries.

"She's still functional, though their might be a slight chance that she suffered a concussion." The CMO glared at the silver, gold and green Autobot. "Was it necessary for you to knock her out?"

Brawn held up his servos in defense. "Hey, if airhead started having some sort of breakdown you'd probably do the same thing too!"

"Breakdown?"

"Yeah, when we tried to convince Sandra that she's with us she just suddenly cried out," said Windcharger.

Ratchet sighed, "I see, well at least we got Sandra back. The least we could do now is go back to the Ark and keep an eye on her."

All the Autobots transformed and drove off. Some were happy that they managed to stop the Decepticons in time, while others grumbled about not being able to kick the 'Cons sorry afts all the way back to Cybertron.

But overall they were all happy and relieved that they were able to get their friend back.

Later, at the Ark

All the other Autobots were waiting impatiently while Ratchet was keeping BlackStar under medical watch and studying why she reacted the way she did during the day. Finally, the CMO along with Wheeljack and Perceptor came out, the later holding onto the same purple headband that BlackStar was wearing.

"Well?" Asked Cliffjumper.

"It appears that while Sandra was suffering from what humans call 'amnesia' the Decepticons had decided to take it upon themselves to manipulate her to fighting for their cause."

"What does that mean?"

"See this thing that Sandra was wearing?" Wheeljack held up the headband. "When they were reprogamming Sandra's mind to think she was a Deceptcion they put this on her head."

"The headband is all but a mere device intended to send electrical impulses to her cerebrum to ensure it that what Sandra perceives is no illusion and must accept what her processor tells," finished Perceptor.

Some of the Autobots stared blankly at the scientist.

"In other words, the headband is a device that prevents Sandra from regaining her real memories. Thus enforcing her brain to think that the false memories are true."

"What?! Those fraggers, I'm going to rip their sorry sparks out of their chasis for messing with our human!" snarled Sunstreaker.

"Cool it, Sunny! Ratchet's not done explaining yet!" said Sideswipe. Sunstreaker eventually calmed down but not before grumbling about "not calling him Sunny".

"Apparently, with the plan to lure Sandra away from the Decepticons and successfully convince her that the Decepticons were lying to her the whole entire time I'd say it worked pretty well. All it took was a look at her belongings to remind her of the strong bonds she formed with us. Unfortunately since it was strong enough to trigger her forgotten memories her brain impulses tried to overcome the impulses from the device causing her to suffer pain in her processor. However the blunt force applie to Sandra's head allowed her true memories to overpower the device's control."

"So does that mean...?"

"Well I can't be certain yet but she may return to normal." Ratchet smiled, an act that only a few like Sandra have seen him do. "Though I can guarentee that she is not going to be one happy person when she wakes up."

The next chapter is going to be the last so cross your fingers and hope that it will be awesome! Oh, and feel free to read any of the stories I have written.
