Barricade

They were slowly getting closer to Hoover Dam, they just reached the outskirts of the city when Mazikeen felt something in the back of her head. She turned to see a cop car following behind them. Mazikeen stared at it and glared at it in suspicion, 

"Hey, Sarah?"

Sarah glanced at her, 

"Yeah?"

Mazikeen glanced back again, 

"Do you know if there are any close police stations to here? And if so, would they have patrols this far out?"

Sarah shook her head, 

"There shouldn't be, we are too far away for patrols,"

Mazikeen slowly nodded and looked back again, 

"Sarah?"

"Yes, Maze?"

"Do not stop this car under any circumstance,"

Sarah glanced at Mazikeen with a raised eye, 

"Why do you say that? What's going on?"

Mazikeen pulled out Phoenix, 

"Because, we are being followed by a Decepticon,"

Sarah gasped and looked in her mirror at the cop car, 

"The cop car?"

Mazikeen nodded, 

"I remember Sammy mentioned a cop car being one of them,"

Sarah glanced at Annabel,

"Maybe bringing her was a bad idea,"

Mazikeen shook her head, 

"No, she needs to see her father just as much as you do. I promise you that he will not even scratch this car. I have a plan,"

Sarah glanced at her, 

"Which is?"

Mazikeen took out her newest prototype and winked at Sarah,

"You let me worry about the Decepticon. Just keep going straight to Hoover Dam, if I tell you a direction, turn sharply before straightening," 

Sarah sighed, 

"How the heck would I hear you?"

Mazikeen smirked as she put Phoenix to her chest, feeling the metal encase her once more, only feeling a small sharp pain abrupt from her abdomen before it went away, 

"My dearest honorary mother, you honestly think I haven't figured out how to make Phoenix tap into a car radio?"

Sarah sighed in frustration as she glanced at the fully suited-up woman in her passenger seat,

"Just be careful,"

She could only imagine Mazikeen winking at her before opening the door. She immediately flew up onto the top of the car and placed the small prototype on top of the car and took out her twin guns, 

"Yo ugly!"

She started shooting at Barricade and he dodged the bullets and transformed, 

"PESTY FLESHLING!"

Mazikeen laughed out, 

"That's me! Don't wear it out!"

She yelped as she bent backward to dodge a missile and yelled, 

"RIGHT!"

Mazikeen jumped up and took flight as she heard the shrieks of the tires. She put away one of her guns and took out her lightsaber, 

"YO! IT IS ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!"

Mazikeen immediately flew to Barricade as he brought up his own shield and it clashed with her lightsaber. The two fought, exchanging blaster fire and clashes. Barricade screamed as she finally landed a hit with her lightsaber on his shoulder, 

"You will perish!"

Mazikeen winked at him from under her helmet, 

"That's what Megatron said too, and Starscream, and many more to come,"

Barricade glared at her as they faced off, 

"Who are you?"

Mazikeen smirked underneath her helmet, 

"My name is Mazikeen Witwicky, and know this. If you come for my family, I will come after you. This will be your only warning,"

Barricade growled, 

"This will not be our only meeting, fleshling,"

Mazikeen watched as he transformed and raced away. She sighed in relief and flew back to the car that, thankfully, was able to get some distance in. 

"Sarah, I am coming in now,"

She took off the device that was on top of the car before slowly opening the door of the car and plopping in. She felt her helmet retract back into the suit as she looked at Sarah, 

"So, how ya doing?"

Sarah glared at Mazikeen, 

"No more fighting,"

Mazikeen shrugged slowly, 

"I will always protect you guys, you can't expect me to not fight when I'm needed,"

Sarah sighed, 

"Fine, but you have to take off Phoenix,"

Mazikeen winced and shook her head, 

"I'm going to be so honest right now, Sarah...don't kill me-"

"Do not even think about giving me bad news right now,"

Mazikeen nervously laughed, 

"I think the prototype for the healing is only temporary,"

Mazikeen flinched away from Sarah expecting her to yell, but when she didn't hear anything, she opened her eyes and looked at the calm blonde. Sarah looked at her, 

"What is the medic's name?"

Mazikeen tilted her head in confusion, 

"Ratchet?"

Sarah nodded, 

"Okay,"

Mazikeen felt herself calm down as she realized that Sarah was not going to start yelling at her, 

"We will be there soon, so just try to relax okay?"

Mazikeen nodded, 

"Yes, Ma'am,"

"I will slap you if you call me ma'am again,"

Mazikeen gave her a lopsided grin, 

"Sir yes sir,"

Sarah only sighed and shook her head in amusement.
