"Hee YAH!" Sari jumped and kicked with all her might. Prowl caught her by the boot and pushed the kick away.

"Sari," Prowl sighed, "You need to concentrate."

"Give her a break Prowl," Bulkhead helped Sari get back on her feet, "She's just a kid."

"I'm afraid Prowl's right," Optimus agreed, "As protector of the key she has to learn to protect herself. She's a potential target for the Decepticons."

"And we won't always be there to protect you," Prowl said, "Now try again. And this time, thrust with your legs like so." Prowl gave a strong kick to the air.

"Gotcha!" Sari jumped and kicked right past Prowl and hit Bulkhead in the knee. Sari landed on her bottom. Bulkhead looked down and realized that Sari had hit him in the knee. He jumped on one leg and grabbed his leg faking painful howls. He fell causing several boxes to land on top of him.

"Too much?" he asked.

****************************************************************

"Yah! Ha! Hiya! Keeyah!" Sari cried as she punched and kicked imaginary bad guys, "Take that Decepticreeps!" She looked at her reflection in the window, "I'll deal with you in the morning. Punk." She yawned and hopped in bed. Before she could close her eyes, a shadow flew past the room. She gasped and jumped up. She crept to her window and peered out. A tall silhouette stood before her. It reached out and shattered the window.

***************************************************************

Isaac Sumdac knocked on Sari's door. He had made a fresh batch of milk and cookies. Sari didn't answer. Sumdac cracked the door open a bit and looked inside. Sari wasn't in bed. He opened the door fully. Sari was gone, and the window was shattered…

***************************************************************

"Ratchet! Bulkhead! Bumblebee! Prowl!" Optimus woke everyone up, "Isaac Sumdac just called. Sari is missing!"

***************************************************************

"We're looking all over for the girl captain. We got cars on the streets. We got minisubs in the river and lake. And we're questioning the father now, but he says he didn't see anything," the officer said.

"Well keep looking through the girl's room. I'll look through the security vids," Fanzone said, "Oh wait, I've got another call." He pressed some keys. "This is Fanzone."

"still me captain."

"Oh, hold on." He pressed in some more keys. "Fanzone here."

"Still me."

"Ugh. Hold on." More keys. "Yo. Fanzone."

"Uh, hi Mr. Fanzone. Nah I'm just kiddin. Still me."

"I hate you." Keys. "Fanzone."

"Nope." Fanzone pressed the keys madly and banged on the phone. It shot out sparks.

"This is why I hate machines!" Fanzone growled into the phone.

"No need to be such a technophobe captain," Prowl said. Fanzone looked up and saw the Autobots standing behind him.

"A technophobe is one who fears machines," Fanzone corrected, "Does this look LIKE FEAR TO YOU?!" Fanzone slammed the phone onto the ground.

"My mistake," Prowl muttered.

"Any news on Sari?" Optimus asked.

"Sumdac says she spent the day with you guys. Anything outta the ordinary happen?"

"No just the usual stuff," Bulkhead remembered, "Hanging out. Teaching her ninja nerve blows. Watching cartoons."

"Wait a sec! back up! What was that?"

"Watching cartoons."

"No before that."

"Ninja nerve blows."

"You were teaching an eight-year-old to do nerve blows?"

"You'd rather she pick it up on the streets?" Ratchet asked.

"After all it's not like we're having her fight Decepticons," Bulkhead said.

"Yet," Prowl finished.

"So you don't think that hanging out with Autobots is kinda dangerous?" Fanzone shrugged.

"Define dangerous," Bulkhead said. Just then, a figure shot past the security vid.

"Wait a sec! roll that back!" Optimus pointed at the screen.

"Sho thing doll face," the reception-bot said. The video rewound. Optimus could make out the shadow.

"Is that a Dinobot?"

"Those fire-breathing cavemen?" Ratchet asked.

"We never did find out what happened to them."

"You think we should tell em?" Bulkhead whispered to Prowl.

"What? That we took the Dinobots and moved them to an island in the middle of Lake Erie and never bothered to mention it to him?"

"But Sari could be in trouble."

"This is my responsibility. I'll go to Dinobots Island and help Sari."

"Oh no, I'm going with you."

"Fine, we'll head to Dinobots island after dark."

"Uh, no signs of anything in the room captain," a police officer said to Fanzone.

"That's okay," Fanzone replied, "I've got a lead. And I'm gonna follow this one on my own."
