Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Miles counted in her head each time a day has passed, honestly how would anyone be excited to be sucked in a game? However, the days began to get weirder when Decepticons started patrolling the area.

Not to an extent but a like, one or two spying on the Autobots' kids which is kinda creepy on its own. Another thing to note, there hasn't been any communication with Teletraan -1 ever since Rewind entered her party.

Miles stopped by a sidewalk taking out her phone to see how many Engeron she has left — already using 1600 for a 10 pull. Darn, only 260 left. She then turns off the screen and puts the phone in her ear.

"Rewind, how exactly am I supposed to get Engeron? Don't you need a deposit for that?"

Receiving a soft vibration in her pocket, the mini-cassette replied. "Usually to get Engeron in a easy way was supposed to be by joining the Autobots cast—"

"In which you stop me from doing"

—"For your own safety! Anyway, getting Engeron is going to be a hassle for you unless you get into a side quest."

"I'm curious though, why are you preventing me from joining the cast?"

"As I said, for your safety."

"I know that but why? I know how the story goes, it shouldn't be that hard."

Rewind went quiet for a moment before speaking, "Because if I tell you, I'll get kicked out of the system and you'll be alone. He will know I've infiltrated his 'game'."

"Okay... and who is 'he'?"

"..."

"Someone that I used to know."

Miles sighs at his excuse but lets it slip for now. Just like any story, it's up to the main protagonist to figure it out. The human dropped her phone to the side when she caught sight of a vehicon. Normally she wouldn't pay any attention but felt uneasy how its hood was facing her direction.

She quickly started walking to the roads that lead to the highway just in case her suspicions were true. Miles curses under her breath when its engine roars.

"Is everything alright? I detect your heart rate has accelerated."

The human ignores her companion and before she knew it, her body was running.

"Rewind, they know!!" Miles yelled as she went into an alleyway where nobody could see them.

Immediately, Rewind jumped out of her pocket and transformed. The Autobot grabs Miles by the waist and up on his shoulder pads, running faster than she was.

With many twists and turns Rewind managed to outmaneuver his adversary.

"How?! I thought they couldn't detect you?!" Miles yelled as her voice huffed from all the movement.

"It's my em field, they probably sensed it when you walked nearby."

"The heck is an em field?!"

Miles can see the vehicon catching up easily, if only she had a transformer that could drive or better yet, fly!

An orange screen pops in front of Miles.

[ Side Quest: Escape from tragedy| ACCEPT: YES / NO ]

[ REWARD: 60 ENGERON ]

"Yes!"

"Who are you saying yes to?"

[ Side Quests: ACCEPT ]

Everything around Miles started to change, the environment went from a cozy town to a country highway. Rewind jumped from the road to an empty canal. He then puts the human down before making space between them.

Miles' pupils dilated seeing the Decepticon tower over the mini-cassette. Just above its head showed a number.

[ Lv: 35 ]

She then looks at Rewind.

[ Lv: 40 ]

That's right, she ascended Rewind not too long ago, if by chance he could overcome this situation.

"Miles, run!" The Autobot commanded but the human contemplated.

Just like every situation with humans not being able to run, Miles succumbed to the curse.

"Miles, get out of here!"

The vehicon wasted no time kicking the little Autobot out of its way. Rewind got hit but perfectly manage to recover from the attack and aimed his gun at the 'con. The shot penetrated the 'con's armour leaving their right side injured.

The human looked down at her seeing a colorful circle with a logo on it. Without thinking she pressed the button. Moments after, the mini-cassette landed a powerful sonic attack caused the Decepticon to fall to the ground.

"Is it... dead?" Miles asked although speaking to no one.

Rewind took a step back, carefully scrutinizing the body. Once he saw the 'con wasn't moving he spun around and headed straight for his human.

"Why didn't you run like I told you to? You could've been killed!"

Miles couldn't answer. By feeling her weak em field Rewind gave out a sigh, of course she couldn't run.

"We can't stay here, let's go."

With a nod, the two quickly left the scene. Unbeknownst to them, the Decepticon was still alive, pretending to be dead and later reporting to Megatron.
