There was a sort of forest...the ground was covered with a soft white blanket of snow. Just 
ahead, an old house made of rocks was peacefully resting with a little cloud of smoke coming
 out of the chimney. The water was coming down to the side of it, clapping on the rocks. 
This place looked familiar....
Suddenly, her name was called out. The second she would turn around towards what looked 
like the direction it was coming from, the voice would call her from a different direction. 

Her eyes got the fix on the house and she tried to walk towards it but then she heard a loud
metal sound.
She woke up.

Rattrap looked at her and threw some food at her between the laser barriers. It was a cell. 
Naloon was imprisoned! She looked around in confusion and stared at Rattrap who was unhappy 
to see her wake up.

	RATTRAP
	"Your lucky you are behind this bars cause I would slag your butt!"

He turned around and closes the door behind him. Naloon didn't move for a moment, staring at
her reflection on the wall...the second time she would see her own self... Her face looked 
shattered but her body was ok.  The silence of her mind was comforting. For the first time, 
she had the impression she could think on her own. 
She reviewed in her mind what happened since the last memory she could get a hold to and 
wondered what it all meant. She remembers the first time she woke up and went in the Maximal
control room...running around their data...What was she looking for....and how did she know 
Megatron.
This voice...this chip...this power... And this lost of memory.

	NALOON
	"Who am I... or what am I....am I a puppet"

She closed her eyes and tried to remember. All it did was to give her a headache. She turned
 on her side and a flash came to her mind about the chip she had put into the chest of the 
protoform...did it work?
The voice was certainly the cause of all her questioning...and the author of all this 
madness. She felt the anger raise again but this time it was really just her own. She had 
the firm idea to make the voice pay for what she had done.
Her hands went directly towards the laser bars. The metal started melting

	NALOON
	"No one will control me"

She backed off a bit and looked at the distance between the bars. 


	NALOON
	"Beast Mode"

She took a swing and went slamming between two bars: the beast mode less larger in size, she
could slip between them...but not without damaging herself. She was pushing with her legs 
with all her might but her legs were trapped. She tried to grab hold on something but 
everything was out of reach. Naloon tried to resist the temptation of screaming. The burning
was spreading quickly into her chest where the wound was still fresh. Giving a last 
desperate push, she finally broke free and fell on the ground. 
She had some good burns on the back and on the front but she was still functional...that's 
all that mattered to her. 
She got up and returned to robot mode and became invisible to the eye with her cloaking 
mode. She opened the door and went in the hall.

She had to do fast cause she was damage and her invisibility wouldn't last forever. She got 
in the hallway and heard some noise right ahead in a room that looked like the one she woke
up in when Dinobot got her back here when the chip was first installed in her.
No doubt that if the protoform was alive, it was in that room. She walked cautiously towards
the room and stopped at the door. 
There were a lot of voices coming from the room

	RHINOX
	"...to be careful! I didn't trust her in the first place."

	CHEETOR
	"Is she going to be ok? I mean...we got her into the CR chamber in time right"

	RHINOX
	"Let's hope so"

	RATTRAP
	"Ah man! If that stupid female didn't get to her spark..."

	CHEETOR
	"I wonder what Obtimus is going to do with her..."

Naloon stepped back and realized she was now visible. It seemed that the protoform was not
in this room but in the CR chamber. 
She turned around and took another hallway...after a few minutes of wondering around, she 
started hearing distant voices. She slowly got closer and realized it was Dinobot and 
Obtimus talking.

	DINOBOT
	"This maximal is a threat to all of us. Your emotions are blinding your 
	judgement Obtimus Primal"

	OBTIMUS
	"She knows something we don't Dinobot that could help us to understand. 
	This alien chip inside the new Maximal... and Megatron seemed to recognize 
	her....I want to know why"

	DINOBOT
	"No! We are wasting too much time with unnecessary actions! This incident 
	with this new Maximal just proves how dangerous she can be. She tried to kill
	 it!"

	OBTIMUS
	"And tried to save it afterward... There is something going on that I am 
	not sure about"

	DINOBOT
	"You know she wont tell you anything...Let me tell you this: if this Maximal 
	attempts any other tricks of her own, I will personally make sure she will 
	never again."

Naloon was watching them talking, angry as always. But her mind was on the new Maximal...
still in the CR chamber. The light on it was flickering. 

	COMPUTER VOICE
	"Cycle of restoration complete"

Steam was coming out as the hatch was opening, Obtimus and Dinobot turned around towards the
CR Chamber.
Naloon's heart was pumping fast, and at this point, she completely lost her mind. It was now
or never. She started running, looking straight into the CR chamber. Her arm came up in the 
air, ready to punch and she started screaming. The two Maximals turned around but it was too
late: she jumped above them and got to the chamber. 
She caught the arm of the new Maximal in the blindness of the steam and was ready to punch 
when someone got the hold on her.

	OBTIMUS
	"Stand down Naloon"

Naloon pulled the arm so that the new maximal would come into the light. It was a female 
robot, in white armor. She looked scared and was trying to cover her eyes.
Naloon stopped pulling, surprised to see a robot that little. The other Maximals were 
surprised as well.

	NALOON
	"a....child....?!!"

The child turned her look to Naloon. Her face became very joyful and she smiled with great 
happiness. Her voice was like a little melody and was very soft.

	CHILD
	"NALOON! You came back"

The child jumped in Naloon's arms. Obtimus let go off her and Naloon seemed very 
uncomfortable. The weight of her was too much and Naloon fell back on the floor. Obtimus and
Dinobot looked at each other with a confused expression as the child was laughing.
Naloon took the child and put her on the floor. She looked at her with an empty look.

	NALOON
	"You shouldn't be happy: I'm going to kill you"

Dinobot grabbed her by the shoulder and pushed her back from the new Maximal. The other 
Maximals got into the control room.

	RATTRAP
	"Hey how did she got outside her cell!"

	RHINOX
	"Obtimus?"

	OBTIMUS
	"It's ok..."

Obtimus came in front of the Child and bent down to talk to her. He put his hand on her 
shoulder. The child looked at Naloon with concern.

	CHILD
	"What are you doing to Naloon?"

	OBTIMUS
	"She is going to be ok...she has to get to the CR chamber cause she 
	damaged her circuitry."

The child looked again to Naloon. 

	OBTIMUS
	"So what is your name"

	CHILD
	"My name is Mist...Naloon wanted me to have this name"

	OBTIMUS
	"How do you know that her name is Naloon"

	MIST
	"Silly I know the name of my sister"

	All Maximals
	"Sister?!!"

Naloon tried to step back but Dinobot was firmly keeping her still. She couldn't believe 
what she had just said. The other Maximals turned around to look at her. Obtimus got up.

	OBTIMUS
	"Is that your sister?"

	NALOON
	"I don't have a clue of who she is...."

	MIST
	"It's me Naloon, remember me! I'm Mist!"

The little girl tried to get to Naloon but Obtimus blocked her. He then realizes she was 
starting to fear him. Rattrap came up and looked at Naloon.

	RATTRAP
	"Hey maybe that's one of her tricks again....you know the brain washing 
	thing...Hey maybe Mist can tell us what you know about Megatron and this
	 so called "witch servant". "

Mist fell back and was now shaking like a leaf. 

	MIST
	"Is the witch back?!!...No don't let the witch get me Naloon"

Naloon looked up to her with a mix of fear and compassion. 

	NALOON
	"I don't know what you are talking about...and stop claiming I'm your 
	sister"

Tears were coming out of Mist's eyes and she was now crawling in a corner of the room, 
trying to get away from everyone. Obtimus tried to make a step towards her but she covered 
her head

	MIST
	"Noooo please don't hurt me...Naloon help me"

	OBTIMUS
	"It's ok we are your friends..."

	MIST
	"Please remember me Naloon please"

	NALOON
	"Let me talk to her..."

	OBTIMUS
	* sight* "Dinobot...free Naloon"

	DINOBOT
	"What..."

	OBTIMUS
	"You heard what I said"

Dinobot did as Obtimus commanded and Naloon pushed him back. She walked towards the little 
girl and she seemed to calm down. 

	MIST
	"Now you remember me?"

	NALOON
	"No....I don't...."

With her quick hand, Naloon grabbed Mist's neck and started squeezing. Mist's eyes opened 
wide and her arms and legs were kicking in the air. The other Maximals rushed to her and 
became stones when they heard Mist's voice change.

	MIST(with the voice of an old women)
	"You can't kill me slave! I am your master! You will only kill this
	 little girl...."

Naloon suddenly dropped the little girl. Mist rubbed her throat with her hand and looked up 
at Naloon.

	MIST
	"What is going on...This voice...the witch....the witch is in me"

And she burst into tears. Naloon and the rest of the Maximals were standing there, all stunt
by what just happened. 

	MIST 
	"Please sister.....make the witch stop!"

Naloon grabbed her own head in her hands. Her mind was trying to remember but she couldn't 
make sense of what she was saying.

	NALOON
	"I CAN'T REMEMBER!!!!"

Mist stopped crying and stared at her. Suddenly, Mist grabbed her chest and looked in pain
....meck fluid was coming out of her mouth.

	MIST
	"She is ...t...trying to kill me again.....can't fight"

	OBTIMUS
	"Quick Rhinox get the emergency kit!"

Naloon came close to her and looked deep in the eyes, trying to see if the witch was inside.

	MIST
	"Make her stop..."

	NALOON 
	"Yes... I have to get into your head"
 
	MIST
	"...h...how"

Naloon punched Mist's face and she fell back, unconscious. Naloon then plugged a wire to 
Mist's head . Obtimus put a hand before the plug. Naloon looked up towards him.

	NALOON
	"Just make sure I stay alive until I come back...then do what ever you
	 wish with me"

She pushed his hand back and plugged it in. She was going to find the witch....all went 
black...
