Chapter 1 Megatron Returns.
It had been three months since the Bee team had liberated Cybertron. They had now made a base in the scrapyard on Earth after contacting some old friends of Team Prime. Agent Fowler, Jack, his Mom, Miko and Raff were now helping them along with Denny and Russell.
And some more Autobots had come from Cybertron and joined them to help protect Earth. The team was now made up of Bumblebee, Strongarm, Sideswipe, Grimlock, Fixit, Drift and his minicons, and now the addition of Arcee, Bulkhead, Wheeljack, Smokescreen and Knock Out.
Plus a new addition to the Autobot faction Starscream who had come out of his coma and changed sides but hadn't quite gained everyone's trust yet. And was trying to make up for his past as a Decepticon.
Optimus Prime thought the seeker's change was genuine and sent him to Bumblebee's team knowing he wouldn't be accepted on Cybertron. And wanting to give him a chance because he seemed to have changed for the better.
Right now they were all hanging out in the base because the communications were down do to a technical error. Well actually the kids had been having a water balloon fight and one had hit the control panel so they were busy trying to fix it. When they all heard a boom from off in the woods.
"What was that?" They all asked at once. Before going to investigate.
Upon arriving in the area where the boom had come from they saw none other then Megatron who appeared to be fighting someone or something only he could see.
"OK Big M has finally flipped." Said Knock Out seeing the scene before them.
"Hey is something burning?" Asked Strongarm seeing smoke.
Then they noticed some of the trees were on fire and there were flames that seemed to be appearing out of nowhere. Most of them aimed at Megatron.
"Wait where's Starscream?" Asked Bumblebee.
Suddenly Starscream who had gone back to the scrapyard came back carrying a bucket of mud that he tossed at the spot where the flames were coming from and revealed that there was a seeker femme making them who was attacking Megatron.
Now that he could see her Megatron quickly managed to beat her. By hitting her and knocking her out. After being knocked out she became visible. She was black with hints of red, yellow and orang in a flame pattern on her wings.
"What are you doing here Megatron?" Asked Starscream not sounding a bit happy to see his old master.
"I came here through a space bridge from Cybertron there's been a prison break and all the Decepticons are free and want revenge on the Autobots I was going to warn Optimus Prime when this femme attacked me and we ended up going through a space bridge during the struggle." Megatron explained.
Not being happy to see Megatron Starscream transformed and flew back to base.
"Starscream holds a grudge against me." Megatron said watching his former second in command fly off.
"He has good reason to after all the times you almost beat him to death and all the messed up stuff you put him through during the war true he brought most of it on himself but the rest you did to him." Knock Out told him.
"I am not that mech anymore." Megatron explained. "I just want to make up for everything I did to everyone during the war."
"I think it's gonna take a lot of apologizing before he'll let things go." Said Bumblebee having notice how upset the seeker looked before flying back to base.
Then they all decided to head that way bringing Megatron and the femme with them not wanting to let the warlord out of their sight and wanting to hear the femme's side of the story when she came to.
After arriving at the scrapyard and making sure the humans were away and safe the femme regained consciousness and they questioned her about what happened.
"My name is Flame Shadow and I was only trying to stop those Decepticons and knew Megatron must be behind their escape." Flame Shadow told them. "I have a score to settle with them." "My boyfriend was part of the faction when he disappeared and I think a Decepticon group called the DJD killed him."
"A group that serves you." Flame Shadow added looking at Megatron with an angry glare. "I heard they hunt down and kill any Decepticon who isn't loyal or tries to change sides."
"The DJD are not loyal to me only the Decepticon cause which I called off." Megatron explained. "And their the ones who freed the other Decepticons to get revenge on the Autobots."
"But if they just serve the Decepticon cause and not you and go after anyone they deem a trader then they might go after you." Said Strongarm. "You better stay here so we can help you fight them if they come after you."
"Wait we don't know if Megatron is telling the truth." Bulkhead pointed out.
"But if he is the DJD are to dangerous to take a chance on." Drift explained. "I've heard of them and don't want to risk not being prepared to fight them if we must."
"The DJD are really bad news they have a reputation for torturing their victims before killing them if you betray the Decepticon cause they put you on a list and hunt you down." Knock Out told them. "I had patients who would beg me to offline them if they thought they were on the list."
"But the thing is most of the time you don't know your on the list until right before they get to you." He added with fear in his vice.
"Wow if Knock Out and Drift are afraid the DJD must be serious." Said Sideswipe.
"Megatron your staying here and we're going to Cybertron to find out the facts behind what happened with the jailbreak and if it was the DJD behind it." Bumblebee explained.
"Flame Shadow your coming with us." Arcee told her.
"Wait you trust her why?" Asked Strongarm.
"Because when she told us about her boyfriend I could tell that was real pain in her optics." Arcee said to her. "Because I've been there." "And it's not something you can fake."
"Wait Flame Shadow how did you turn invisible and make fire back there?" Asked Knock Out.
"I'm an Outliner their transformers with special abilities that don't always match with their alut modes." Flame Shadow explained. "Mine is inviability and as for the fire my arm cannon is a flamethrower."
"Nice." Knock Out said impressed.
"What about that mech who tossed mud on me when I was inviable that was good thinking." Flame Shadow told him. Then asked where Starscream went after Knock Out explained who he was.
"He's probably going to stay in his room until Megatron leaves they don't have the best history." Knock Out filled her in. As they left through the space bridge leaving Megatron at the scrapyard with Starscream who still wouldn't come out.
On Cybertron they spoke to Optimus Prime, Windblade and Ratchet. Who confirmed that there had been a prison break. And the Decepticons were now free.
"So Megatron was telling the truth about that." Thought Bumblebee. "But are the DJD really involved?"
"If Megatron has resurfaced then I wish to accompany you back to Earth." Optimus told his former scout now warrior and team leader.
"I would feel better if you were there." Said Bumblebee.
"I want to come to Earth again as well." Ratchet cut in.
"Sure Lock Out, Cop Out, Knock Out and I could always use help in the med bay." Fixit replied having to correct himself. Knock Out nodded in agreement but rolled his optics at how Fixit had messed up his name.
Windblade also decided to go with them missing Earth and being ready for some action.
Then they all went through the space bridge and back to the scrapyard.
But when they emerged from the space bridge they saw Megatron's alut mode flying off in a hurry and the scrapyard was in a mess and more importantly Starscream was on the ground badly beaten in a pool of his own energon and laid there unmoving.
Being Medics Knock Out and Ratchet both rushed to the injured seeker's side along with Fixit who also wanted to help anyway he could.
Then after seeing that Starscream was unresponsive they rushed him to the med bay and got to work trying to save his life.
"No we should have never left Megatron here alone with him!" Cried Bumblebee. "He beat him like this all the time during the war why would he stop now I should have know better now Starscream might be dying!"
"Bumblebee calm down it's not your fault it's Megstron's and we can not let him escape." Said Drift.
Then they all drove or in Windblade and Flame Shadow case flew off to catch Megatron and make him answer for what he had done to Starscream. While Knock Out, Ratchet and Fixit stayed to try to keep Starscream online just hoping they could save him.
To Be Continued.
"Well I finally started my new story sorry it took so long writer's block." "Hope this chapter was OK it was the best I came up with." "And I'll try to have the next one up soon." "Please let me know if I missed any spelling mistakes."
